Sex Offender visa admittee commits suicide in ICE Custody
Published on : December 26, 2019 Published by : Jacob Palmieri
According to a statement from ICE, a sex offender from Nigeria who overstayed his Visa reportedly hung himself in ICE custody.
ICE.gov
A Nigerian man in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Enforcement (ICE) at the Worcester County Jail in Snow Hill, Maryland, passed away Saturday morning at the facility.
Anthony Oluseye Akinyemi, 56, was pronounced dead at 5:23 a.m. local time December 21, 2019, after he was found unresponsive in his cell and efforts by facility staff and emergency personnel to revive him were unsuccessful. The preliminary cause of death appears to be self-inflicted strangulation; however, the case is currently under investigation.
Consistent with the agency's protocols, the appropriate agencies have been notified about the death, including the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General, and the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility. Additionally, ICE has notified the Nigerian consulate and Mr. Akinyemi's next of kin.

ICE is firmly committed to the health and welfare of all those in its custody and is undertaking a comprehensive agency-wide review of this incident, as it does in all such cases. Fatalities in ICE custody, statistically, are exceedingly rare and occur at a fraction of the national average for the U.S. detained population.
This agency's comprehensive review will be conducted by ICE senior leadership to include Enforcement and Removal Operations, the Office of Professional Responsibility and the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor.
Mr. Akinyemi had been in ICE custody less than 24 hours. He entered ICE custody December 20, one day after he was convicted in Baltimore City Circuit Court for a sex offense and assault.
ICE had previously lodged an immigration detainer against Mr. Akinyemi July 23, 2019, pursuant to his arrest for sexual abuse of a minor.
Mr. Akinyemi entered the U.S. lawfully on a non-immigrant visa in December 2017, but he failed to comply with the terms of his admission. At the time of his death, Mr. Akinyemi was in removal proceedings before the federal immigration courts.
Few things with this story:
The first is that we let a sex offender into the US legally. This is just another example of how flawed even our legal immigration system. Those who enter the country legally need to be better vetted.
The second thing is that I am tired of hearing that VISA overstays are no big deal. Every week I am reading stories showcasing VISA overstays committing crimes. Many of the 9/11 hijackers were VISA oversays.

Grimstad might be better known for its white-painted wooden houses and seaside setting, but this Norwegian small town is also home to a global festival on the forefront of short film. Serving as a debut arena for up-and-coming filmmakers around the country, the Norwegian Short Film Festival (NSFF) has quickly proven to be one of the most pivotal places to showcase free and independent cinema.
After you've traversed a few fjords and traveled over to Grimstad, be sure to check out the range of events that accompany the Norwegian Short Film Festival. From full-scale exhibitions and concerts, to outdoor cinema venues and debates, you'll want to arrange your schedule around a series of top-notch events, especially if you're considering a festival pass.
For 1090 NOK (around $135), the festival pass will give you total access to a plethora of movie categories, such as music videos, international documentaries, Norwegian short films, and other special programs. In other words, come ready to get your culture on. For more information, pop over to the NSFF festival page.
2. In The Palace International Short Film Festival – BULGARIA (June 24-July 1)
Take a moment to imagine what it would be like to find yourself in the middle of a beautiful Black Sea town, boozing it up in the former residence of a Romanian Queen. That's right, folks. While it may appear more like a dream, the "In The Palace" International Short Film Festival is precisely that: your chance to experience film — and fun — from within the confines of royal quarters.
Queen Marie Victoria of Edinburgh once lived in the stunning palace that now serves as the stomping grounds for this annual festival, which will be held in the small town of Balchik, Bulgaria from June 24 to July 1. Aside from its regal origins, "In The Palace" is further known for being one of the largest and most prestigious European film festivals, in part due to its range in genres.
When you go, expect to find fierce competition in four categories: fiction, documentary, animation and experimental. All of the films must clock under 27 minutes in length, which should give you more than enough time to go enjoy the picturesque coastal town that awaits. For more information regarding ticket pricing, check out "In The Palace" today.
3. Pula Film Festival – CROATIA (July 15-22)
Sporting an average of 55,000 attendees per year, the Pula Film Festival is a sought-after event for more reasons than one. For starters, it's located in an ancient Roman amphitheater, giving visitors the opportunity to screen high-quality cinema from within the most majestic arena of sorts. Then, there's the matter of its location: a seaside gem on the tip of Croatia's Istrian Peninsula, Pula is a standout city in the region, and one you'll never overlook again.
The Pula Film Festival currently holds the title of housing the largest number of visitors per screening in the world. It's also the oldest Croatian film festival, and one that has become world renowned for its talent, programming, and breathtaking cinema screenings under the stars.
Aside from the films, there are also youth workshops, movie exhibitions, and special programs available for film experts. Our recommendation: spend a calm day by the sea, and catch a spectacular film by night. Tickets range between 3.5 and 20 euros, depending upon the length of the pass. More info is available here.
4. Prague Independent Film Festival (PIFF) – CZECH REPUBLIC (August 3-7)
Gothic churches. Baroque spires. Medieval clocks. Any sane person can see the centuries-old beauty that is the city of Prague, which is where the fledging Prague Independent Film Festival (PIFF) calls home. Although only in its second year, the festival has already amassed a following that includes some of the most important filmmakers around the world, as well as an inventory of historic theaters from where cinephiles can sit back, and let the good films roll.
PIFF has most recently become a hugely influential place for Czech premiers, and its already been graced by the likings of stars like Rebecca Ferguson, Anthony Head, Sam Reid, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and director Andrei Konchalovsky.
Film lovers and experts will also revel in the festival's host of different genres, which have been designed to appeal to various ages and global audiences. It's important to further note that all of the films are in English or come with English subtitles, leaving a bit of something for everyone. For more information on ticket pricing, check out the PIFF website.
5. Sarajevo Film Festival – BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA (August 11-18)
This year, the Sarajevo Film Festival is rolling out a laundry list of innovations. From new movie venues and programming, to an updated festival format, its cinema overlords are making a point of bringing never-before-seen experiences to its attendees, which clock in at around 100,000 people per year. Slated to run from August 11-18, you won't want to miss your chance to attend the largest film festival in Southeast Europe.
One of the biggest draws to the Sarajevo Film Festival is its open air cinema, which can host more than 3,500 people in a single showing. Yet again, another draw is undoubtedly its name — and the industry bigwigs that flock to Bosnia and Herzegovina as a result. That said, if you're planning to attend the festival this August, keep an eye out for two-time Oscar® nominee Joshua Oppenheimer, a director slated to host a masterclass and Q&A session on-site.
For additional information on special programs and ticket pricing, visit Sarajevo Film Festival.
6. Night of Festivals South Asia – UNITED KINGDOM (August 14-19)
Credit: Night of Festivals South Asia
First things first: Night of Festivals South Asia is much more than your "typical festival." In fact, it's largely an LED-filled cultural mashup of sorts, given its devoted to marking the 70th Anniversary of Indian and Pakistan Independence. And yet, it's not taking place in either of those nations, but rather, the historic city of Leicester in the United Kingdom. Why? You'll just have to go to find out.
Expect films, live music, dancing, street art, and lots of samosa stands. There will even be a cycle-powered elephant, and Holi-approved "Festival of Colors" flash mobs, which means you may or might want to avoid wearing your favorite outfit. Wait, did we mention its also free to enter? That's right. Zero dollars.
Translation: Night of Festivals South Asia is a must-do, and its films are a must-see celebration of South Asian culture. For additional scheduling information, visit here.
7. Music Documentaries Film Festival (DORF) – CROATIA (August 5-8)

Silently situated along the idyllic Adriatic Coast, the small town of Primošten in Croatia still remains an undiscovered beachside paradise — one situated on a small island unto itself. But while you might assume that makes Primošten a sleepy town, largely devoid of innovation, its a characterization that couldn't be further from the truth. Enter DORF, the Music Documentaries Film Festival, which will take place in the town from August 5-8 of this year, uniting a close community of musicians and filmmakers on a global stage.
DORF attendees will not only have exclusive access to countless music documentaries, but they will get the chance to brush elbows with international artists, filmmakers and executives that hail from over 80 cities in the world. The best part? The mingling will go down in arguably one of the most overlooked places on earth.
You might never have heard of Primošten until now, but take one look at this island oasis and you'll never forget it. Insider tip: before catching a film, head to the local vineyards. They're currently under consideration to become UNESCO World Heritage sites, and boast some of the region's finest wines. Drink up, and keep tabs on the DORF website for up-to-date information.
8. Film Festival Oostende – BELGIUM (September 8-16)
Pierce Brosnan. Adrian Brody. Évelyne Brochu. These are just a few of the names associated with Film Festival Oostende, which has invited Hollywood's finest to converge upon the lovely coastal city of Ostend every September since 2007. As for this year? The festival will run from September 8-16, so be sure to keep your eye out for stars discretely catching rays on the Belgian beaches nearby.
What makes Film Festival Oostende particularly special is the attention it pays to Flemish and Belgian films, while maintaining an international scope. This year's festival will host two global competitions, "LOOK!" and "Taste of Europe." The former focuses on the "aesthetic qualities of cinema," and awards participants the chance of competing for a 10,000 euro prize. The latter is dedicated to European films that "never make it to Belgian cinemas," boasting a 7,500 euro prize for the lucky winner.
But don't fret — the cost to get into Film Festival Oostende doesn't reach those heights. You can fetch a single ticket for 9.50 euros, and a weekly ticket at 30 euros. That is, it won't break your bank, and you'll have the chance to celebrity stalk beaches in the meantime. More information is available here.
9. Green Screen International Wildlife Film Festival – GERMANY (September 13-17)
In recent years, the German town of Eckernförde has become a sought-after tourist destination thanks to its coastal charm, quaint marinas, and seemingly never-ending beaches that curl along the Baltic Sea. And now, there's yet another reason to book a trip: the Green Screen International Wildlife Film Festival, which is devoted to all things that make up our spectacular natural world.
Slated to run from September 13-17, the Green Screen International Wildlife Film Festival is destined to be a quintessential meeting of the minds. From international filmmakers and producers, to activists, wildlife experts, and political representatives, the festival tends to attract a diverse audience drawn to nature, environmental sustainability, and global affairs.
Our takeaway: this is a dream place for nature buffs and historical film fanatics alike. If you fit the bill — or you're interested in playing the part — you can pick up a ticket for 5 euros a screening, or a weekly pass for 35. More information is available here.
10. Pentedattilo Film Festival – ITALY (September 22-24)
You're in a ghost town, still afflicted by its sudden abandonment centuries ago. Then suddenly, it gets filled with words, images, people, and wonder. That's the scene that unfolds from within Pentedattilo, a forgotten Italian village that comes alive every year to host an international film festival.
French directors, such as Xavier Dolan
Know Before You Goour ghostly adventures
Located in Calabria, the Pentedattilo Film Festival is a one-of-a-kind experience you can't quite believe is real. After all, how many times have you been given the chance to watch a movie mountainside, surrounded only by ruins dating back to 640 BC?
The festival will take place from September 22-24, and the average attendance is slated to be around 1,000 people. Don't be afraid to join in on the fun. Your ghostly adventures await here.
11. SCHLINGEL International Film Festival – GERMANY (September 25-October 1)
SCHLINGEL Film Festival / Goethe-Institut
"Kids Rule The World" should be the SCHLINGEL International Film Festival's unofficial motto. Produced by film professionals and dedicated to children in Germany and across the world, SCHLINGEL has long presided as the go-to destination for children and families looking to dive deep into the film scene, and learn many aspects of production from an early age via their screenings and workshops. What's more? It's prime location in Chemnitz, the third-largest city in the Free State of Saxony, Germany, has made the festival a novelty in its own right.
SCHLINGEL Film Festival / Film Production

A variety of panels and workshops are also offered over the course of the festival. These are devoted to helping children and young people hone their production, analysis and film reception skills. So pack up those bags, toys, and film reels. If you stumble upon SCHLINGEL, you might just witness the next George Lucas, or shake hands with mini-Scorsese. Discover what else is in store here.

12. International Festival of TV and Movie Cameramen "Golden Eye" – GEORGIA (September 27-28)
Calling all moviemakers and film professionals alike. The International Festival of TV and Movie Cameramen, or the "Golden Eye" festival, is dedicated to the cinematic geniuses that make films possible. Located in the cobblestoned capital of Tbilisi, Georgia, "Golden Eye" is unique in its celebration of both amateur and professional camera operators who hail from over 100 countries in the world.
After winding your way down the anarchic streets of Tbilisi, colored pink by the setting sun, you'll come upon the annual wonders of Golden Eye. The festival offers everything from cinema master classes to presentations from the world's leading camera equipment manufacturing companies, as well as a host of free screenings for audience members.
Think of this as the perfect excuse to finally book that long-awaited trip to Georgia — or the push to submit your film, currently gathering dust in storage. To learn more, visit the Golden Eye website today.
13. Festival International du Film Francophone de Namur (FIFF) – BELGIUM (September 29-October 6)
In a cultural mash-up of sorts, the FIFF exists to honor a vast selection of features and short films that are exclusively the product of French-speaking countries. But instead of taking place in the City of Lights, the festival has called the Belgian city of Namur home for over 32 years. Yes, that means medieval fortresses, charming riverscapes and Baroque-style bakeries have long served as the storybook backdrop for this storied festival.
Credit: FIFF
FIFF bills itself as the quintessential "cinema francophone," which is precisely what makes it standout on the festival scene today. Over the years, the FIFF has also been responsible for highlighting a number of legendary French directors, such as Xavier Dolan ("Les Amours Imaginaires") and Nabil Ayouch ("Much Loved").
So whether you're a young, burgeoning Belgian or international professional, FIFF is the place to get noticed. As a primetime player in the dissemination and promotion of French-speaking films, this festival will only add to your je ne sais quoi. P.S. Tickets range from 8 to 30 euros. Learn more here.
14. Reykjavík International Film Festival (RIFF) – ICELAND (September 28-October 8)
It's little wonder the Land of Fire and Ice knows how to put on the ultimate spectacle. At the Reykjavík International Film Festival, movie screenings take place across some of Iceland's top theaters, swimming pools, and even real-life caves. Sporting an average attendance of 25,000 people, RIFF has become a nationwide name, showcasing films from over 40 countries in otherworldly venues you'll just have to see to believe.
Have a film you've been dying to show to the world? Or simply want to witness emerging filmmakers on the precipice of fame? Before you pop over to this Nordic island nation, it's important to note that the RIFF puts a special emphasis on highlighting young and up-and-coming directors. In fact, one of the festival's most prominent awards, aptly named "The Golden Puffin," is only awarded to first- or second-time directors.
As for audience members, you'll have the chance to bask in countless screenings, live concerts, photo exhibitions, and the landmark "swim-in" or "cave-in" cinemas. The former is held in one of those heated, indoor pools iconic to Icelandic culture. The latter is held in a cave just outside of Reykjavík. What more could an avid moviegoer ask for? For ticket pricing, check out the RIFF official website.
15. International Eressos Women's Festival – GREECE (September 9-23)
Perhaps best known for residing as the birthplace of the ancient Greek poet, Sappho, Lesvos Island has recently become a delightful destination for some female-centric fun. And at the core of this trend is the International Eressos Women's Festival. Over the course of two weeks, the festival unfolds across the lovely, unspoiled Greek beach village of Skala Eressos, and is dedicated to providing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and questioning women with relaxed Greek holiday — films and other festivities included.
Credit: International Eressos Women's Festival
Although the International Eressos Women's Festival features stellar film screenings in an open-air cinema, it is far more sought after for its creative mix of holiday activities. From women-only cultural walks and sunset cruises, to hot springs outings, drumming workshops, and Greek dance classes, the festival invites the women of the world to embrace their inner artist, explorer, and natural being.
So ladies, channel your inner Sappho, and head over to Skala Eressos. It's the perfect way to celebrate September, and partake in what Greeks do best: have fun. To learn more, visit the official festival website.
16. Innsbruck Nature Film Festival (INFF) – AUSTRIA (October 10-13)
Credit: Innsbruck Nature Film Festival
The Innsbruck Nature Film Festival is quite possibly one of the most inspiring — and emotionally charged — events of 2017. Dedicated to showcasing the top nature and environment-related films, this festival tackles the vital topics of our time: climate change, sustainability, and survival. Most of all, the INFF brings together films that embody the beauty of Planet Earth, making the festival a socially-enriching experience for all.
Using the alpine Austrian city of Innsbruck as its annual stage, INFF makes a point of highlighting renowned directors who are devoted to capturing nature's greatest wonders, and their long-term fragility. Competition categories range from documentaries, shorts, and young talents, uniting films with a sharp environmental and ecological focus.
In addition to the competition, INFF also offers a diverse program of events, including exhibitions, lectures and workshops. Tickets range from 9 to 30 euros, depending upon the pass type. Learn more information at the INFF website.
17. Filmfest Hamburg – GERMANY (October 10-14)
Some travelers head to Hamburg for the romantic, winding canals, and maritime bliss. Others come to see what lies inside 'the gateway to the world,' a token label once given to Germany's second-largest city. Then there are those who flock to Filmfest Hamburg, a prestigious festival in its 25th year, which highlights national and international films across ten permanent and multiple annually-changing categories.
Aside from taking place in one of the most beautiful city's in the world, Filmfest Hamburg has become a household name for its star-packed premieres, elevated arthouse cinema, and cutting-edge mainstream films.
What's more? The festival's namesakes include Academy Award winners such as Jodie Foster, Clint Eastwood, Christoph Waltz and Tilda Swinton, as well as directors such as Wim Wenders, Fatih Akin, Andreas Dresen and Tom Tykwer.
So navigate the Filmfest Hamburg scene with your eyes wide open. You never know who you might see, especially for less than 10 euros a screening. Additional ticket and programming information is available online.
18. Vienna International Film Festival – AUSTRIA (October 19-November 2)
Often called Austria's most important international film event, the Vienna International Film Festival — or Viennale — focuses on the art of film. Today, it's considered to be one of the oldest and most prominent festivals in the German-speaking world, with an attendance hovering around a staggering 94,000 people. But what makes the Viennale most original is its disregard for status. There are no awards to be won, and no film market, leaving the festival to be a celebration of filmmakers — one devoid of business or competition.
If you're contemplating a quick trip over to the Mozart-approved, stunning city of Vienna, you'll want to know everything the Viennale has in store. For starters, you'll have the chance to choose from a selection of roughly 300 films, which are shown in imperial theaters across the city's historic center. You'll also get the opportunity to soak up everything from gala screenings and parties, to special events and audience discussions.
The Viennale prides itself on being a festival devoted to "information, surprises," and "discoveries," so audience members best come ready for anything. To learn more, go here.
19. Nordic Film Days Lübeck – GERMANY (November 1-5)
Credit: Olaf Malzahn
Put simply, Nordic Film Days Lübeck is the only festival in Germany that is exclusively dedicated to films directed by its Nortic and Baltic brethren. For 59 years, it's stayed tucked away in the 12th-century wonderscape that is Lübeck, a northern German city best known for its medieval roots, and now, its modernizing film festival.
Talk about killing two birds with one stone. Not only do Nordic Film Days festival visitors get to delight in over 200 films over the course of five days, but they get to do so in a city that's currently under consideration to be crowned a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Unlike many festivals, Nordic Film Days Lübeck also offers a sophisticated "Nordic Noir" series and the chance to watch 3D films in a fulldome 360° cinema. In terms of special events, visitors can further journey through an open-air event in an old prison yard, or travel through time to watch a silent movie in the St. Katharine's Museum Church. Oh, and did we mention there will be on-site virtual reality stations? Step into the future here.
20. Mezipatra Queer Film Festival – CZECH REPUBLIC (November 2-9 & 9-16)

If you're craving innovation, look no further than the Mezipatra Queer Film Festival, a revolutionary LGBTQ+-themed festival dedicated to feature films, shorts, and documentaries in the Czech Republic. Taking place in Prague (November 2-9), and the nation's second-largest city, Brno (November 9-16), you'll be pleased to discover you have two chances to attend one of the most daring and progressively minded events in Europe.
Scintillating lectures. Special screenings. Art shows. Theater performances. Parties. The list goes on. That's because at the Mezipatra Queer Film Festival, diversity and discovery are key components to celebrating a host of filmmakers hailing from Europe and beyond.
Already in its 17th year, Mezipatra has established itself as the go-to source for top-ranking films that cover important themes related to the lesbian, bisexual, trans and queer communities. It's thought to be one of the most groundbreaking testaments to queer cinema internationally, and one you won't want to miss out on your chance to be part of such a movement. Ticketing and scheduling information is available here.
21. Minsk International Film Festival "Listapad" – BELARUS (November 3-10)

Contrary to its lackluster reputation, Belarus is steadily becoming a modernist gem on the European scene. How? Massive props should be directed toward its capital, Minsk, which is now brimming with fashionable cafes, nightclubs, and progressive events dedicated to bringing the Stalinist-era city out of the shadows.
That's where the Minsk International Film Festival "Listapad" comes in. Dedicated to showcasing top films from former socialistic countries, MIFF Listapad is quickly climbing the ranks of the global festival circuit, and reportedly catching up to the giants of Cannes, Berlin, and Toronto.
What's better than experiencing a film festival in a city that's in the midst of rapid change? You'll be watching history as it unfolds — both in the cinema, and outside — piecing together Soviet vestiges and societies that have been forgotten for far too long.
As a Listapad viewer, you can expect to choose from over 200 screenings across four main categories: feature films, documentaries, children and youth film, as well as the national competition. Come ready with questions for directors like Claire Denis and Andrey Zvyagintsev, and get ready for a stereotype-defying experience that will only further help to cement Belarus's premier status on an international stage. Learn more here.
22. Fredrikstad Animation Festival – NORWAY (November 9-12)

Tucked away in a cosy southeastern city of Norway, the Fredrikstad Animation Festival holds the title of being the largest animation festival in the Nordic region. And today, it's frequented by a range of top animation professionals and students, in large part due to its complete embrace of everything that makes Pixar, Disney, and Aardman what they are today.
You'll want to visit the Fredrikstad Animation Festival with full entertainment in mind. Whether you plan to attend one of the open master classes, or simply sit back and enjoy the latest Nordic, Baltic and internationally-acclaimed animated films, Fredrikstad offers a little something for every animation nerd.
There are a number of different festival passes available, and they range between 8 and 75 euros. Ticketing information is available here. All other festival-related questions are answered on the official website.
23. Cork Film Festival – IRELAND (November 10-19)
Credit: Cork Film Festival Facebook
What attracts over 16,000 visitors, and is roughy 62 years in the making? That would be none other than the Cork Film Festival, Ireland's largest- and longest-running event of its kind. Attendees should come prepared with open minds, open hearts, and an open hand for double-fisting Guinness pints — after all, it's an Irish festival better known for its movies, music and mayhem.
Of course, Cork's cognomen as "the rebel city" would translate over to its beloved film festival. Its selection of over 250 films, coupled with its live music concerts and special events, make it a mildly debaucherous haven of food, film, and fun.
As for the competition itself, opportunities for global recognition are high. The festival currently offers 12 different awards — two of which classify as "Academy Award® Qualifying" — and winners are announced at a free event. So why not partake in some corned beef, cabbage, and top-quality cinema? More information can be found here.
24. Black Nights Film Festival – ESTONIA (November 17-December 3)

Slowly but surely, Estonia is finally gaining proper recognition as a top holiday destination, especially when it comes to Tallinn, its capital city. Representing an exhilarating mix of past and present, Tallinn is a medieval love story at the very same time it remains a modern masterpiece. And perhaps nowhere is this more visible than the Black Nights Film Festival, a two-week long tribute to film, food, history, nightlife, and everything in between.
Over the last two decades, the Black Nights Film Festival has established itself as a leading cinema star around the world. And looking ahead to this year, that reputation remains safely intact. Complete with two international competitions, and three sub-festivals, Black Nights is slated to host around 80,000 people or more in 2017, making it the popular place to be come November.
That reminds us: don't forget to bring a coat. Late November in Estonia means you should expect a true winter wonderland, and frigid temperatures to follow suit. To learn more, visit the Black Nights Film Festival website.

RIFF has long bore witness to the directions and passions of the independent film industry. And with each year that passes, the festival is also becoming a prominent place for young filmmakers who are looking to understand the intricate process of production and distribution.
This is the festival to attend if you're in search of Italian films with an unrelenting vision, global directors that never give up, and local students who are drawn to the beauty of cinematic arts. Additional details are available on the RIFF official website.
26. Riga International Film Festival "2ANNAS" – LATVIA (November 27-December 3)
The city of Riga is resplendent — a cosmopolitan Baltic capital known for its cobblestones, culture, and emerging innovation. That's why it should come as no surprise that the Riga International Film Festival "2ANNAS" originated here. As one of the top independent film and audio-visual art festivals around, 2ANNAS takes a provocative look at the ways in which to experiment with film.
In more ways than one, 2ANNAS is a visionary festival that introduces viewers to the power of audio-visual communication, and how it will continue to modernize over the coming years. Already in its 22nd year, the festival has attained a status of being "high quality film explorer," largely through popularizing European and world cinema for a Latvian audience and beyond.
Think of 2ANNAS as a place to watch "Baltic film art from a global perspective." You can catch what else is in store at the festival here.

Tree-lined blocks and stunning riverscapes have come to characterize Kaunas, Lithuania, which largely remains a hidden jewel of Europe even today. But perhaps it won't reside in the shadows for too long: over the years, the Kaunas International Film Festival has begun to gain recognition for its emphasis on both music and film, uniting the two mediums for a Baltic audience and beyond.
If you're considering a trip to Kaunas, chances are you've already come across the essence of this international festival: art-house and artists' films, which usually incorporate strong artistic and social statements.
What does that mean for you? Prepare to be surprised. Named the European Capital of Culture for 2022, it's clear the festival is gearing up on the premise of groundbreaking films and nights to remember. Additional information is available here.
Are you ready to sit back, relax, and enjoy some unforgettable films?
From the beaches of Croatia to the cavernous theaters of Iceland, and the storybook castles of Bulgaria, 2017 is full of film festivals — and incredible venues — for everyone. We hope our list of the ultimate European film festivals has helped you better plan out your upcoming year, and every travel activity in between.

Q: Current TabPanel ID in onClientLoad CSJS I have client sided code in the onClientLoad event of my form that governs field hiding. Problem is, it depends on values in the first tabPanel. If I switch to the second tabPanel, it stops working. I can no longer switch back to any other tabPanel.
How can I within the onClientLoad event using CSJS identify which panel I currently am on?

A: In a tab panel whenever you switch between tabs the fields are recalculated.
So, I would rather suggest you to put a visibility formula on field instead.

A: Make sure all tab panels have a nice id. Then in your script block you can add something like:
  var t1 = dojo.byId("#{id:tab1}");
  if (t1) { // do your stuff }

Does it work for you?

Hello, my name is Tom Tulloch, "DJ Tommy T", father of two and a full time DJ/MC/Entertainer. I have been with Tone Productions since 1992. I celebrated my 25th year with Tone last year and I'm very excited to ave been a part of Tone's 25th Anniversary last year.
I started as a Disc Jockey in 1985 just like many "DJ's" do, playing music at Teen and Backyard Parties. After doing that for a year and a half, I was given the opportunity to DJ at a local bar. I learned the basics during this time and started to learn the craft of reading a crowd to play what they liked to dance to.
In 1987, I did my first wedding and my Full-Time Disc Jockey Career began. Since then in the 30 years of DJ'ing and providing quality entertainment, I have DJ/MC'd for more than 2100 Wedding Celebrations along with a countless number of Private Parties, Special Events, Anniversaries and Night Club appearances across the United States.
I am blessed and love the fact that I have the opportunity to entertain and can touch the lives of people starting their new lives together along with their guests to bring happiness on their special day and create lifetime memories. With my vast knowledge and experience, I can make YOUR event a dream come true. I am able to provide life long memories, great entertainment and at the end of the night seeing the smiles and knowing they all had a good time and this makes me want to entertain that much more. Along with entertaining your guest, I keep the party flowing. It is a privilege to me knowing that what I do touches some many lives.
I have had the opportunity to play at the most elite Wedding Reception locations in the Chicago Area including Navy Pier, Chicago Athletic Association, Sears Tower, Hancock Building, Wrigley Field, U.S. Cellular Field, Field Museum, Museum of Science & Industry, John G. Shed Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, Notre Dame University, University of Chicago; and more. Being resident DJ has taken me to over 20 of Chicago's hottest nightspots including Rum Runners, Xtremez, Morgan's, The Wild Olive, Slugger's in Orland Park & Chicago, Baha Beach Club, The Brickyard and Hawkeye's on Taylor Street to name a few. Some of the current and past clients include Notre Dame University, Hammond Marina, AT&T, Allstate, and Christ Hospital. I have also produced and voiced radio commercials heard on Q101, WCKG and B96.
It doesn't matter what kind of event you are having, with my vast knowledge of music and experience your guests will have an enjoyable time and make your vision come true. Think of me as being your personal Wedding/Event Coordinator.
A Bride and Grooms wedding night is going to be one the most important days of their lives. A 30th Birthday Party could also be someone else's "most memorable" moment in their life. I make it my number one priority to make sure your Wedding or Event is one that you and your guests will remember forever.
If I am available for your day, I would love an opportunity to meet you personally in Tone's Oak Lawn office.


Moist, creamy, and delicious banana cream cookie cups are easy to make with sugar cookie dough and banana pudding mix. Even the little ones can get in the kitchen and help make these easy and delicious treats!
Do you love quick and easy dessert recipes? If so, you are in luck because they don't get much easier than this. This banana cream cookie cup recipe so simple, yet so delicious. The combo of the creamy banana pudding and the sugar cookie cups is just amazing!
These banana pudding cookie cups would be perfect for any potluck. They are a tasty dessert that your family and friends are going to adore. With only five ingredients, you're going to want to make these easy cookie cups over and over again.
What's so great about this recipe is that it begins with sugar cookie dough and banana pudding mix. This makes the recipe super simple.
However, if you would rather make the sugar cookie dough from scratch, there's a recipe below for that as well.
This is the type of recipe that kids can help prepare. If you want to get in the kitchen with the kids, this is the perfect recipe. There's really nothing in this recipe that kids couldn't help with. If you have small kids, the only thing they can't do is take the cups in and out of the oven.
One last great thing about these banana cream cookie cups is that you can make these your own. Don't like banana, use chocolate pudding or any other flavor. You could even switch out the cookie dough. Try using peanut butter cookie dough with chocolate pudding. Just have fun with it.
If you're looking for a quick and easy recipe that can be made with thousands of different flavor combinations, you are going to have a lot of fun with these cookie cups!
Grease a muffin or tart tin and press 1-2 Tablespoons of cookie dough into each indentation and press to shape into a cup shape (along the bottom and sides of the indentation).
When each muffin tin is full, bake the cookie cups for 8-12 minutes (will vary depending on the size of your tin).
Allow the cookie cups to cool in the muffin tray before removing.
Then, for the banana pudding filling, use a hand mixer to combine the banana pudding mix and milk until starting to thicken, about 2 minutes.
Next, fold in the whipped cream topping and be careful not to overmix.
Finally, spoon 1-2 Tablespoons of the banana cream filling into the cookie cups and top with banana slices and sprinkles, if desired.
I hope you and your family enjoy these delicious banana pudding cookie cups!
Moist, creamy, and delicious banana cream cookie cups are easy to make with sugar cookie dough and banana pudding mix.
Cream the butter and sugar together with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add in the eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder and then slowly add it to the sugar-butter mixture.
Once all of the flour is incorporated into the dough, form into a ball and cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before shaping into cookie cups.
For the banana pudding filling, use a hand mixer to combine the banana pudding mix and milk until starting to thicken, about 2 minutes.
Fold in the whipped cream topping and be careful not to overmix.
Spoon 1-2 Tablespoons of the banana cream filling into the cookie cups and top as desired.
This is so easy, and looks delish, it is a great "semi-homemade" recipe I'd love to try for company with kids.
I am so into baking right now. I am definitely going to try this one out! Hopefully, it will come out successful as my previous trials of cookie recipes failed.
This sounds amazing! I will definitely be making this on the weekend!
These look super delicious and very easy to make, my guys would love them.
These look delicious! I have saved this recipe! Yum!
We are always looking for different treats to prepare the grand kids…and me!
These turned out yummy!! Thank you!
OMG. . .so easy and so tasty!!! I piped the filling with a large star tip and sprinkled with crushed graham cracker crumbs. Huge hit at a work event!!!!!
This is a fairly simple,yet really clever and yummy recipe. I made these again a few days ago and they didn't last very long.
What a super delicious dessert! And so fun too! These will be a big dessert hit!
We love the smaller desserts. Using the cookie dough to make a crust is a great idea!
Such a great idea – my kids will love these! The bananas on top make them look even more special – so cute!
Quick and easy desserts are always great to have on hand. These look so cute!
Yum! Those look so delicious! My family will love these! I love the presentation, as well!


At the intersection of architecture, interior and experience design, the Interior Architecture and Design programme provides a multi-disciplinary approach to transforming existing spaces and places. In increasingly Urban Environments, the emphasis on the design and working of a building, inside out, has gained tremendous importance. The programme focuses on examining existing structures and transforming their interior through relevant design interventions and renovations that give existing buildings a new life.
Unlike courses in interior design and decoration, the Interior Architecture programme focuses on spatial design and detailing, adaptive reuse and retrofitting as well as architectural addition and refurbishment.
The programme addresses a wide range of spaces, from domestic to retail, institutional to commercial and set/production design to issues of conservation. Whether designing a structure, situation or event, the interior architect responds to how society interacts with, and inhabits space.
Built Environment is an intrinsic part of our lives. The Interior Architecture programme is aimed at this intrinsic understanding of this environment which one inhabits in its various forms. The programme is designed to ensure the students' development as successful and ethical practitioners by equipping them with the specialized skills to understand principles, processes and practices within the field of Interior Architecture and Design.
The Interior Architecture course at IIAD is envisioned to allow students to become critical thinkers and self-reflective design practitioners, by providing them with a multi-disciplinary, intellectually rigorous and learner centric environment. A range of teaching and learning strategies have been adopted to enable the students to develop specialist skills and knowledge of the discipline.
A deep understanding of the Built Environment, it's fundamental principles like technology, history, politics, culture, people, identity, and importantly, economics, along with technical aspects of services and construction are at the core of the programme. These lay emphasis on understanding the discipline comprehensively and as part of a larger knowledge system. Project-based learning further provides insight into industry practices and exposure to contemporary discourses within the field. Students are further encouraged to develop a strong design process which incorporates these aspects and builds on their own knowledge systems.
The program also cuts across the various design disciplines offered at the institute allowing students to understand design as a holistic phenomenon and also encouraging a multidisciplinary learning environment.
The course at IIAD is based on the concept of circular learning progression where the student begins their 1st year of the discipline with unpacking their own embedded knowledge which moves on to the 2nd year focussing on making an industry connect and finally bringing it back to developing and representing themselves as successful reflective practitioners of the field in the 3rd and final year. The emphasis of the course is to provide an experiential learning environment with topical and live projects. In doing so the traditional divides of theory vs practice, studio vs non-studio subjects are removed and an integrative, immersive and a total learning environment is encouraged.
At IIAD we strongly believe that students come with intrinsic knowledge. Therefore, in the very first year of their specialization they are introduced to the fundamental principles and contexts of the Built Environment with a view to understand their own context, their being, their background, their roots and their cultural milieu. They are encouraged to question and create their personal narratives by situating themselves within historical and socio-cultural contexts. The year begins with the project 'Reading and Production of Space' focussing on translation of ideas into a physical space, while understanding principles such as anthropometrics, ergonomics, aesthetic harmony, besides the contextual systems it operates in, culminating into making scale models of respective designs. Emphasis is on becoming observant of the interactions with the spaces we inhabit. Further building on this knowledge is done by looking at 'Material Entanglements' within the Interior Architecture industry. Besides the current practices, there is also a push to create an awareness and sensitivity towards indigenous practices, traditional techniques and local identities.
The most important component of this year is to learn representation skills and this is incorporated in the various projects and also as a standalone project. 'Representation of Space' for an Interior architect is not just about learning to draw plans, sections and elevation but to design ways of communicating ideas and interventions. The project exposes students to the various tools and technologies – digital as well as analogue, available in the field of art and design; from sketching, creating storyboards, learning to draft to learning 2D and 3D visualisation software.
The first year includes introducing students to alternate ways of design thinking, by bringing in experts from various backgrounds (not limited to architecture or interior design). These are conceptualised as plug-in within projects to initiate a dialogue on innovative techniques and contemporary debates about sustainable practices, Indian craft traditions, socio-cultural and political issues, principles of Universal Design, technological advances, environmental issues and many more.
In the 2nd year, students engage with the process and practice of Interior Architecture and Design through work on multiple projects. The emphasis here is on learning by doing as well as imbibing an in depth disciplinary understanding of Interior Architecture and Design. It aims at developing design skills and help them oversee the entire design process from designing on paper to the execution on the site. To carry on with our philosophy of learning with hands and the act of 'making', students work on LIVE projects. Meeting clients, giving regular presentations, dealing with contractors and recording their observation from the site, makes students' learning within the projects a lot more intensive than just designing hypothetically on paper.
Students in this year work on a variety of projects from Retail, Hospitality, Residential to Product Design. There is an emphasis that each student understands the contextual and intellectual underpinnings of these major design typologies. They constantly reflect on their work and are able to demonstrate a critical understanding of the relationships between multiple contexts within which design is situated. Also, technical inputs related to various services like air conditioning, electrical, plumbing and lighting are also plugged into each project. Training for digital skills also becomes critical in the second year for better presentation and communication of design ideas. Thus, the design studio functions as an integrative immersive and total learning environment.
The final year commences with a 12 week industry internship that provides practical exposure and realistic view of the industry, which further builds a deeper understanding of design practice. In order to discover their own identity through personal expression, students undertake one major design project which culminates their learning of the entire course. This project transitions towards developing their own design philosophies and practices. The course ends with a capstone thesis project wherein students design and present a large scale project that reflects their individual creative abilities and design sensibilities. Students are also given exposure to entrepreneurial skills to enable them to run a successful design practice.
Students graduating from the Interior Architecture and Design Programme at IIAD can seamlessly adapt and constructively contribute to an industry that has a strong design philosophy. Here are some jobs an Interior Architecture Graduate can consider in the international creative force.
The art of placing fonts & characters to make the text legible and visually more appealing.
Architectural marvels from across the world that defy conventional design rules and render a new dimension to space.
The power of a positive, aesthetically appealing space is undeniable and the art of transforming that space from scratch is the task of an interior designer. From choosing the right colour palette to making a design functional, interior designers take the lead.

Ideas Have Legs
Melinda Mae Missiology
by Sam Van Eman
Like the contemplative movement inspired by the monastics of the fourth century, or the holiness movement through Methodism in the eighteenth, it seems (I don't think it's just my own experience) that the Church is undergoing a bit of renewal at the dawn of the twenty-first, too. And it has something to do with work.
I grew up in a church tradition that preached the imminent doom of the world and the corresponding hasty necessity for (soul-only) evangelism. My work was to preach the Gospel swiftly, and to secure as many converts for Heaven as possible. Heaven was our home, of course, and it would come when God said it would. Soon, we knew. We didn't use the term "Kingdom" much, probably because it sounded too historical and earthly, and there was certainly no talk of "building" the Kingdom, except when referring to altar calls. We all knew the visible world would go up in smoke momentarily, so our work was simply to gather the harvest and wait.
But there is a re-drawing of Heaven going on. In this movement, "Left Behind" isn't a reference to the non-believers who missed the trumpet call. Rather, it refers to the Christians. Believers are here for good because this—the terra firma you and I are standing on—is the future location of the New Heavens and New Earth. Christ will reign right here, not in a cloud- and cherubim-filled outer world. In the new drawing, prominent Christian publishers print books like Heaven is Not My Home by Paul Marshall, Heaven is a Place on Earth by Michael Wittmer and Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church by N.T. Wright.
This re-drawing has substantial implications for how we live our daily lives, and particularly for how we view the role and importance of work. If heaven is clouds and harps, then every earthly thing in my life is eternally invalid, or at most, irrelevant. Houses, trees, family, transportation, jobs…it's all temporal and therefore seriously meaning-impaired. But if heaven is every earthly thing made new, then suddenly these items matter because we understand them as originally intended. They were called "good" for a reason and no amount of human sin can make them forever un-good, work included.
In contrast to my childhood eschatology and its earthly implications, work has a very different meaning for me today. I work for an organization whose annual conference implores students to envision living out the Christian faith through their future nine-to-five jobs. I don't mean just reading the Bible in the lunchroom at their nine-to-five jobs. I mean through, as in engineering irrigation systems in drought-prone climates, writing foreign language textbooks that promote understanding between urban blacks and Latinos and proposing law reform to combat global slave trade. Oh, we're still commissioning them to share the Good News, but their jobs are now an integral part of that central mission, not simply a chore to help pass the time until they get to heaven, or a covert means of meeting non-Christians.
A different meaning of work is also reflected in what I promote, such as the mission of Redeemer Church's Center for Faith and Work in Manhattan. I read vocation-focused magazines like Comment and lecture on the practical and theological significance of a job. My own blog, for goodness' sake, is an encouragement to students and practitioners of pop culture advertising! The re-drawing of heaven has seriously shifted the way I live. But it has also opened a new category of questions: as co-laborers with the risen Jesus, how big is the task of building the Kingdom? Are we making progress? How long till the work is done? Are we really "building" or just creating some sort of signpost—an attractive sampler for potential clients (i.e. an updated version of the descriptions from previous generations: "streets of gold," "mansions with many rooms," "white robes and angelic choirs")? And, if we are actually building, how much is our responsibility and how much is God's?
Along with this new category of questions comes a new temptation as well, one that I'm calling Melinda Mae Missiology. I hear it in conversations about calling and vocation and building the Kingdom, and I hear it in me.
Have you heard of tiny Melinda Mae,
Who ate a monstrous whale?
She thought she could,
She said she would,
So she started in right at the tail.
And everyone said, "You're much too small,"
But that didn't bother Melinda at all.
She took little bites and she chewed very slow,
Just like a good girl should…
…And in eighty-nine years she ate that whale
Because she said she would!
Shel Silverstein, "Melinda Mae" from Where the Sidewalk Ends
Melinda Mae offers a very appealing formula for our twenty-first century missiology. It's attractive and we're tempted to emulate it because she not only foresaw a task in its entirety, but she also plugged away at it for a lifetime and then witnessed its completion! Eighty-nine years is a long time to sink your teeth into any goal, especially when success is unknown and unlikely. We want control, not unpredictability; closure, not loose ends; success, not futility. That's the reason the writer of the book of Hebrews labored at providing the famous Hall of Faith: confidence is the antidote to growing weary and losing heart (Hebrew 11-12:3).
In the November 30, 2007 edition of catapult, contributing author Adam Smit challenged our short-term, shallow efforts at work: "In terms of development [in Africa], we want to believe that buying the right concert ticket or a special GAP t-shirt will really help just enough that we can continue going about our daily lives, guilt-free." I agree with him that this type of pseudo-response is ineffective and even damaging. He goes on to say that "any attempt at redemption needs to have a working relationship with the suffering and misery it's trying to overcome." Smit is advocating a get-in, get-dirty, long-term commitment that follows in the manner of Jesus' own work. I like this. But his last line caught my attention because it made me realize how difficult it is to know how much of the redemption—the building—is really up to me. He writes that "redemption addicts" are on a "mission to infiltrate, destroy, then rebuild the whole works brick by brick."
This is a genuine tension-increaser because it looks so much like Melinda Mae's approach. On the one hand, we are the hands and feet of Jesus. If I don't do it, it won't get done. If nobody frees the enslaved child, she remains a captive. If nobody addresses gang violence (even from within the gang), then the violence won't stop. On the other, we are tempted to view this as a do-it-yourself, Build-a-Kingdom project, finishable if we simply take little bites and chew very slowly.
I know we need to stack bricks (not just get our names engraved in one), but how much of it is our responsibility? Fifty percent? Fifteen percent? Seriously, try to put a number on it and see what your answer reveals. If you and I have a lazy spell and only put in five percent, will the completion of the Kingdom be delayed by so many years? And if we bust, and give seventy-five percent, could we speed up the process? We know that no matter how much work we do, there's still a load of issues we can do nothing about. Does this mean we take the job as far as we can and wait for God to finish it supernaturally? Are we merely grunt-work laborers or do we get to be finishing carpenters, too?
These are my questions and they pop up when I read headlines like this one:
Volvo's 2020 vision: The injury-proof car
The automobile company renowned for safety has cast a vision "to create an injury-proof car by 2020" (Reuters, May 1, 2008, Sarah Edmonds). One representative from the Volvo safety team specified "zero fatalities and zero injuries in Volvo cars," and then added an even more unbelievable goal of "no accidents in the future." Well let's say that every Christian college student entering every vocational field created similar goals. Now let's imagine that the goals could be mostly, if not entirely achieved (Volvo's current Safety Concept Car already provides rather convincing support for their 2020 goal). Volvo will take care of traffic safety and inspire others to follow suit, Supernanny Jo Frost (a nanny by trade) will motivate families across the globe toward healthy parent/child relationships, scientists will beat the cancer cell, marketers in the Truth campaign will continue shifting consumer sentiment away from tobacco use and eventually eliminate cigarettes altogether in America, Trevor Field will provide clean water for "water-stressed communities across South Africa" with his PlayPump project, etcetera.
These are do-able projects and we'll see many like them accomplished in our own lifetimes "because we said we would!" Yet, they aren't enough. The fact that they aren't enough may be unsettling, but this provides no excuse for bolstering the Melinda Mae in us to try harder. Nor does it provide any rationale for apathy. Instead, it offers a chance to be reassured of our position. Oscar Romero, the Roman Catholic Bishop who spent his life working for the poor in Latin America, offers a comforting reminder on this point:
It helps, now and then, to step back and take the long view. The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work…. We cannot do everything and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something, and do it very well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for God's grace to enter and do the rest. We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker. We are workers, not master builders, ministers, not messiahs. We are prophets of a future not our own. (Excerpted from the poem, "A Future Not Our Own")
We would never profess to be solely responsible for building the Kingdom, though honest introspection may reveal more of Melinda Mae's Missiology in us than we thought. What we need is a Christo-centric missiology, along with a bit of Adam Smit's conviction which pushes us toward Jesus' carism and his thorough addressing of people's needs; a bit of Melinda Mae's resolve, where we live as if we could eat the whole whale in eighty-nine years; and a bit of Romero's sobering perspective that rightly sees God as the master builder. Perhaps then this movement will lead to serious renewal for the Church as well as for the world who observes it happening.

Health Inequalities in Global Context
Exploring Health Inequalities in Global Context "Minority Populations, Gender Base Violence, Social Networks and Sexual Health"
Fulbright-Nehru Fellowship
2017 Global Health Project
Research Critique: Media Example
Being a minority in the United States poses a challenge every day, but being part of a minority population in other parts of the world could be a humiliating experience. I have learned that people will criticize no matter how popular or educated someone is. They will find your deepest fears and control your thoughts to make you feel like you are less than them. For this reason, I have decided to study Global Health in conjunction to minority populations, social networks and HIV. "India has an estimate of 5.1 million people infected with HIV (UNAIDS, 2004), and Mumbai, the capital of the western costal state, has some of the highest rates of HIV in the country" (Hernandez, A. L., Lindan, C. P., Mathur, M., Ekstrand, M., Madhivanan, P., Stein, E. S., … & Jerajani, H. R., 2006). As research revels, there is a reason why AIDS statistics are high in India, I choose the series "GAYCATION" because it allows viewers to understand the many reason why minority population continue hiding in the shadow of society.
On March 4th 2016, VICELAND channel passed a show with Ellen Page and Ian Daniel. The show was based on the life of MSNs in India as well as their feelings towards both the current laws and treatment they receive. As we know minority populations in India are a taboo and are not accepted in all regions of the country. In this episode, the characters visit several parts of the country, and while watching it I was particularly attracted to Mumbai. Mumbai seems like an open-minded place, where minority populations are somehow free to express what they feel and talk about their relationships openly. As mentioned by the creator of "Gay Bombay"," in this region being queer is being part of a community, family, friends and work" (Parmesh Shahani, 2016). This opens the question "if Mumbai is seen with such openness then why are there laws that have been created to denigrate and reject the minority population?
Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code reads as follows: "Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished with imprisonment for life or with imprisonment of either description for term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine" (NACO). What does this mean? In my opinion it means that there is no freedom for minority populations, it shows a flaw and contradiction in their democratic system. Such is the reason why I am conducting the type of research I am doing in India. Not only will it allow me to connect to people and understand how they think but also understand what are the reasons for the lack of support towards MSM, transgender and other mistreated communities. At the same time, this will be a way of helping the greater population to find and create social networks for minorities, helping them find a safe place, especially for those that have contracted HIV.
It is also interesting to note how MSM have some kind of liberty when it comes to the queer life in Mumbai, but as mentioned in the documentary the WSW community is not as free. Because being a WSW consists of being a woman, a gender that is treated less than men, they experience greater rejection in this part of the world. In the documentary, this group is in the shadows of society for they are not accepted by neither other communities nor their families due to their gender identity. We need to understand that India is a country where women are raise for the sole reasons to procreate, cook and take care of their husbands however some do decide educate themselves
Being part of a minority population is a stigma in India so much so that some even face social networks that believe this is a "treatable" condition so much so that organizations have been created for such purposes. Many families use these services to control members of the community and supposedly change the sexual preferences It is absurd to think that someone's sexual preference can be cured. The type of organizations we do need are the ones that help minority populations to feel safe and part of this world.
In conclusion, it was a great documentary created by VICELAND channel. It opened my eyes to focus on my research and help those in disadvantageous situation. I think that going to India will be a great experience! I believe people will see how important psychological studies are to find information needed to build new ideas. India is not the only country in need of help, but my purpose in this Global Health Study is to find a way to create safe places for those excluded from the community, including HIV carriers. People may think that there are other serious problems around the world than giving priority to minority population, but in reality, not giving rights to these communities is giving others the opportunity to keep denigrating and treating others poorly.

Northumberland Labour Leader calls for safety as hundreds in Northumberland continue to be infected
Hundreds still being infected
Northumberland Labour is reminding the county's residents that the pandemic is still with us.
Leader Scott Dickinson said: "The so called Freedom Day, while being welcome for many, has left some people feeling even more vulnerable as people were to ready to sling the masks aside and were led to believe it was over.
"You have to ask yourself why the government has removed the legal requirement for social distancing and wearing masks; it just doesn't make sense as infections rise and hospital admissions rise.
"I feel for the people whose immune systems are suppressed or they're caring for family members who are vulnerable. I very much doubt they feel free at the moment.
"I would appeal to people to continue to keep their distance, wear masks in crowded places and meet outside or in a well ventilated room if they are worried. And of course people should take the opportunity to be vaccinated when offered.
"The feeling in the first lockdown was that people were taking care of each other. We need to continue to do that and be considerate, as well as looking after our own safety.
"So many local businesses and individuals have kept the masks, have kept the distances but recognise when we are in a safer environment. This will help economy and business have a sustained reopening rather than fast and loose with a potential further lockdown which will damage further.
As we all proceed we must do what's best for the majority in terms of safety first."

Q: Relationship between 2 quantities when a condition is given It is given that $ |x|y>x|y|$.
Can we determine the relationship between $(x+y)^2$ and $(x-y)^2$ ?

A: From the given condition it is evident that $ x$ and $y$ have opposite signs.
Thus we have $$(x-y)^2 \ge ( x+y)^2$$

A: If the left-hand side is zero so is the right hand side, and if the left-hand side is negative both sides are equal. So the left-hand side must be positive, whence $y$ is positive. The two sides are then different only if $x\lt 0$.
Then $$(x+y)^2-(x-y)^2=4xy\lt 0$$

Q: how do you subset data based on regex in R I have this data frame that I form reading a url. When I read the url, I get some mixed data. I would like to be able to do two things:

*

*subset the df so that colnames will only include CPU.Percent in them (sometimes for some reason I get memory or disk utilization, I need to remove those columns).

*colnames should only include the server names, for example dc1server, dc1web etc.
Here is my data frame called df:
dput(df)
structure(list(Time = structure(1:2, .Label = c("1/13/2015",
"1/14/2015"), class = "factor"), WEB..Linux..Total.CPU.Percent.Utilization.on.dc1server.Utilization = structure(1:2, .Label = c("3.67%",
"3.75%"), class = "factor"), WEB..Linux..Total.CPU.Percent.Utilization.on.dc1web2.Utilization = structure(c(2L,
1L), .Label = c("13.08%", "13.25%"), class = "factor"), WTAD..Linux..Virtual.Memory.on.dc1server1.Percent.Used = structure(c(2L,
1L), .Label = c("9%", "9.42%"), class = "factor")), .Names = c("Time",
"WEB..Linux..Total.CPU.Percent.Utilization.on.dc1server.Utilization",
"WEB..Linux..Total.CPU.Percent.Utilization.on.dc1web2.Utilization",
"WTAD..Linux..Virtual.Memory.on.dc1server1.Percent.Used"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
-2L))

For 1.
I tried this:
data<-subset(df, grep("CPU.Percent", colnames(df))

is not working
for 2:
I tried:
colnames(df)<-gsub(colnames(df), grep(".(dc1.*).",colnames(df))

no luck, any ideas what I may be doing here?

A: As akrun stated,
data <- df[, grepl("CPU.Percent", colnames(df))]

solves the first problem.
And for the second, try this
colnames(df) <- sub(".*\\.(dc[^\\.]*)\\..*", "\\1", colnames(df))

Note that changing the column names will change the way that the first bit of code works. Just be sure that you do them in the right order.
If you do the colnames change first, then the first problem solution would be:
data <- df[,2:3]


Temperatures are likely to be lower elsewhere.
Forecasters said there is a chance of hitting 34C or 35C (95F), which could put Britons in line for the hottest day since the mercury hit 34.5C (94.1F) at Heathrow on June 21 last year.
The hot weather will lead to thunderstorms and it "could all happen on the same day", Mr Burkill added.


It can take as little as 2 hours for one stomach-flu sufferer to contaminate half of a single office.
Say some under-the-weather person at your workplace coughed into their palm and touched a doorknob. Beginning with that one contaminated object, how long would it take for the virus to run rampant through the building?
Would it be a day? Eight hours? Perhaps the best answer if you're a germophobe is "You really don't want to know," because scientists have tested this scenario and the speed can be frighteningly quick. From the instant those unsanitary fingers touch the knob, it could be just 2 to 4 hours before the contagion has spread to 40 to 60 percent of frequently handled surfaces, as well as your coworkers. Take a moment now to wash hands.
This distressing assessment comes from infectious-disease researchers attending this week's Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in Washington, D.C. (One of them's giving a live talk this morning if you want all the grody details.) For their study, they picked a real doozy of a bug to simulate—norovirus, aka the "super stomach flu" made so famous by cruise-ship journeys to hell. Norovirus, which is often spread by touching contaminated objects and then your mouth, is the most common source of acute gastroenteritis in America. Each year it causes as many as 71,000 hospitalizations, 800 deaths, and millions of grotesque trips to the bathroom.
The phage was placed on 1 to 2 commonly touched surfaces (door knob or table top) at the beginning of the day in office buildings, conference room and a healthcare facility. After various periods of time (2 to 8 hours) they sampled 60 to 100 fomites, surfaces capable of carrying infectious organisms (light switches, bed rails, table tops, countertops, push buttons, coffee pots handles, sink tap handles, door knobs, phones and computer equipment), for the phages.
Thankfully for the nation's collective gut, the study did not end with a simple, You are doomed if somebody at work gets sick. The researchers did a followup experiment that managed to reduce the virus's spread by 80 to 99 percent. Their secret weapon? Making workers and janitorial staff use disinfectant wipes once a day. Says Gerba: "The results show that viral contamination of fomites in facilities occurs quickly, and that a simple intervention can greatly help to reduce exposure to viruses."

Five reasons to watch Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a science fiction show, which is greatly liked by both
British and Americans. It originated in Britain in 1963 and ran for 26
years. Later, due to its popularity, the show returned in 2007 and is
one of the most loved shows till date. The Doctor Who episodes are all
about a cosmic hero, who has the capability to travel through space and
time, saving the world in the process. The
doctor's ability to regenerate and acquire a new look, is most liked by
the audience. Apart from these common reasons, the popularity of the
show is based on several other reasons and some of them are: 1. Eerie theme song:
The innovative and eerie theme song of Doctor Who has raised the
popularity of the series to quite a high level. Ron Grainer had
composed it and Delia Derbyshire had mixed and arranged at the BBC
Radiophonic Workshop. The process of recording was quite lengthy and
took several weeks. 2. Craze of Dalek: If you watch Doctor who online,
you will find that in the 1960s, Daleks (robot like mutants) became
more popular than the Doctor himself. Kids found the Daleks quite
terrifying, but loved to watch the monsters. The popularity of Daleks
led to the creation of Dalek toys, comics and solo songs like "I'm
Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek" by the Go-Go's.3. Inclusion of words in dictionary:
Doctor Who is perhaps the first show which has contributed words to the
English dictionary. "Dalek" was the first word to become a part of the
English language and was commonly used for monster. The special
traveling machine of the Doctor, "Tardis" also got included in the
dictionary. It referred to something bigger from the inside, than the
outside. The most important contribution to the English language by the
show was the prefix "cyber". 4. Depiction of violence and gore:
Those who watch Doctor Who know, that it was initially created for
kids, but later its smart concept began to tempt adults as well. Both
boys and girls find it quite entertaining, especially due to the
violence and gore. However, there were still some moral campaigners who
feel that the show is not suitable for kids, due to its scary and
violent content. 5. Great influence on the genre: Doctor Who had a tremendous impact on the British sci-fi genre. Initially, the producers of the Doctor Who episodes
had a limited budget and had to use creative ideas for special effects
and designing the sets. Their creativity was quite successful at that
time and many other sci-fi shows became influenced by the show. Due
to these reasons, Dr. Who's popularity has never ceased to decline and
has reached the same level in America and other parts of the world too.
