A picture is worth a thousand words, don't you think? Well, maybe if you're a man, it might be 10 words and if you're a woman, a thousand. Sorry for the stereotype and I'm only kidding.
I had to let enough days pass to show what I was talking about. As you can see from the chart, the amplitude of the wave is becoming smaller. The first wave had a low about 840, second low was 866 and now the third low is 876. I looks sort of like it's compressing into a pennant.
To me, volume says a great deal here. A video would probably do it better justice, but I'm just going to spell it out here instead as I don't really feel like doing a video, which takes longer with the upload and everything.
10/1 to 10/10 the trend of bearish volume was up as price dropped. This correlates.
10/10 you get a big surge of bearish volume and often with any surges of volume out of the norm, the next day you will get a pullback, which is exactly what happened. How do you know if it's a big surge? That volume will stand up above all other volumes near it. Remember, everything is relative.
10/14 they are testing to see if they can bring in more buyers initially, but it was just very weak and thus sellers came back in instead. However, near the end of the day, some buyers did come back. I think closing near the 200 EMA on the Monthly is significant.
10/15 attempted to see if they could get more selling action, but volumes were lower. Maybe we're a little tired of all the selling and need a break?
10/16 the bears attempted to take things down further, but bulls really came back strong and really dominated for most of the day. However, the high of this day was not enthusiasm, to attempt to get back to the 200 EMA. Volumes were not as strong either or there just wasn't the energy there.
10/17 there was optimism here for 2/3rds of the day, thinking maybe they could get back to the 200 Monthly EMA, but failed and the last 2 hrs the bears came back. The bulls just couldn't hold the bears at bay.
10/20 attempted to make a last ditch effor for now, but just didn't have the enthusiasm or gusto to really move much. People seem disinterested and not really believing things are good in the economy, as they are not. Volumes are weak.
10/21 really couldn't decide am I going to be bearish or bullish and in the end, bearish looked more attractive. If I can't move the price up, I'll drop it to see if I can do something and drop it fast. There is a general complacency.
10/22 well, if I can't get the markets to go up, I'm going to see if I can create some action by further moving the markets down.
What's interesting is if you see the lows and how it's forming, it is quite interesting the compression pattern that is developing. Pressure is building and one way or another, when it breaks out, it will move faster. So, if it trades into that point, don't be surprised. I actually see it trading into the point and sort of going sideways, with less volatility until elections.
There may be, however, a couple days that it may really do a high reach up and/or a very low reach down to see if they can bring in either buyers or sellers. I don't see these as being marabozu type days rather long wick days.
If you look at a couple entries ago or so in this blog, that though I was wrong in the direction I thought things would go, what I was so far correct on was the cyclical part of it and perhaps I may be correct on the area it would pivot, which is around the 1015 on the S&P range.
Basically I was upside down and giving the market more bullishness in my original prediction. Actually I was just taking a wild stab at it, but I thought 1015ish would be its pivot because that is where the 200 EMA on the Monthly is, meaning that the month would close near this point.
The tails/wicks could be quite long, which would signify battling of the bulls and bears.
There are many days I'm missing some good action, and to my readers who are interested in trading, perhaps I'm doing a disservice, but the 2 most important people to me are not missing out. They get their mommy.
I'm learning to be present and a part of managing all that is on my plate, is to focus on one thing at a time, for that moment. I want to savor each moment I have, whether it is some fantastic, glorious moment, or something that challenges me that I need to learn from.
The market will always be here, and there will always be opportunities. I am completely confident that God will empower me to generate the wealth I need for my family, as He has already done so wonderfully. But, the time I have is now with my children.
They are growing so quickly, and they will not always need their mommy. So, yes, my posts will be sporadic and maybe I won't always have the in depth technical analysis you desire, and maybe I may talk too much about my personal life, but this is my life as a trader who really wants to have it all.
There is no point in having mega millions if I ruin my family, the relationships I have, rather I want to take as many people with me as possible on this journey, to really lead full, abundant lives as possible. Life is wrought with many potholes, and learning to skillfully navigate sometimes the very treacherous roads takes time, patience, knowledge, and skill.
The world says I must perform, but I beg to differ. God wants me to be. He wants me to rest in Him. Sure, I will need to trade, do my due diligence, but not with a franticness, panic, rather with confidence and an assurance that everything will be fine.
Even in a day in the S&P where it hardly moves, there is more than enough money that can be taken off the table to support my family and so much more. These wild, crazy days are exhilarating. I am missing many of them, and some I am not. But during these times, I get to hug my children, be here for them, during a year that has been quite traumatic for us, allowing God to heal our very broken hearts and spirits.
So many people have fear about our economy and the markets, but I have such a calmness, a peace that really does surpass all understanding. There is always opportunities in what is deemed as hardship or great challenges. It's all a matter of perspective.
I'm really working on my perspective, learning to be calm in the face of turmoil and chaos. Just like an Olympian who prepares years for just that brief moment in time, I'm preparing the ground so that I can really take off. I've attempted to take off and realize I wasn't quite ready.
So, I would implore my readers to look into their lives and see where you find richness and invest there as you learn how to trade well in the stock market. Don't put off tomorrow what you could do today.
Live your life in urgency because tomorrow may never come for you. Live with no regrets. Be present. You can't change the past and tomorrow will always be just a little further ahead.
Hello readers. I'm sorry for not posting in awhile. My kids have been on Fall Break for 2 weeks. Yes, I've still traded, but my time has been limited in blogging. If it wasn't already constrained before, it was even more constrained with the kids off school. I took quite a few of those days to really just enjoy my children and friends, as well as for a little R&R.
It took quite a bit to get rid of the nasty cough I had, which I think it's completely gone now!! Praise God!!! So, this means I can get back to business.
I started on a 90-day cleanse nearly 2 weeks ago and I think that's a part of the reason why I'm feeling much better physically. Been getting more regular with yoga, which helps with my focus. There were some challenging lessons that I learned over the past 2 weeks. Let me reiterate, if you have a good trading plan, you MUST follow it for success.
Also, I did some paperwork organization and decluttering. I still have some other financial organizing to do. The markets will always be there and daily there are opportunities.
Until next time . . . God bless you and help give you wisdom to make wise choices.
Did you see where the S&P ended up today? Right on the 200 EMA on the Monthly chart. It's just so very beautiful.
Today looked like it could be a hammer and the day before an inverted hammer. This is only the case if we are at support. Let's see what happens. Since we are at the 200 EMA on the monthly, this is important and I would guess that it will test this area and I would not be surprised that it would test this for the next month up until elections, where right at elections would end up right around where it's at.
Based upon the election, it may continue further down or reverse here, at least for a time.
Here's what I see and if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If I'm right, wow.
I figured a picture is worth a thousand words.
Look at how beautiful that monthly chart is? Looks like a M, eh? Ironic that it comes to tag the 200 EMA, eh?
Now, this is the daily chart blown up. I put my hypothecized movement of the S&P from now until the Election Day. I see things as compressing into a descending wedge and the breakout will be who becomes president. I might be biased, but if Obama becomes president, I see the market further tanking, at least in the near future. If McCain becomes president, the temporary pattern is back up, but not as high as it was prior.
The overall pattern would still be compressing with shorter cycles.
Well, this is all conjecture to me, my conjecture.


Who is Jesus and Why Do I Love Him?
Who is this John in Prison and what happened to the fiery John the Baptist from last week who knew who he was and knew who Jesus was. Last week John proclaimed, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near" and was not above calling the Pharisees and Sadducees names. Can't you just hear John shouting, "You brood of vipers!" John knew he was the one Isaiah spoke about when he said, "The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.'" John was every inch the prophet! John fulfilled the prophecies and knew it!
John knew who Jesus was too. "I baptize you with water for repentance, but one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and will gather his wheat into the granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." In the Gospel of John when John the Baptist sees Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, "Look, here is the Lamb of God!" And Jesus knew who John was and recognized his authority. When Jesus came to John to be baptized, John tried to refuse, but Jesus said "no", this is the right thing to do.
So what happened between last week and this week? Why is John suddenly questioning who he is and questioning who Jesus is? Is Jesus really the long expected Messiah? It is really not too surprising. Things have not quite turned out how John expected. John is in prison and probably knows the outcome will not be good for him. You don't question the king and his choice of bride and expect to get away with it. Jesus is not exactly who he was expecting. I mean where is the Holy Spirit and the fire! Luke would have us believe that John and Jesus are cousins born within six months of each other. Many scholars believe that Jesus was a disciple of John and that over time John's prominence diminished as Jesus' increased. John is probably wondering if things are really turning out as planned. John probably needed a little reassurance at this point that things were going according to God's plan, that he hadn't chosen the wrong side. At one point Jesus even asked his disciples who people said that he was and who did the disciples say that he was and Peter replied, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." It sounds like even Jesus had times when he questioned who he was and was he really following God's way.
Teachers, professors, what is your pedagogy for teaching? How do children learn? How do adults learn? And how do you apply that to your work and how do we apply that to our lives? We learn by seeing what our parents, teachers and other adults do, by example. We learn about God by hearing his story over and over again until we can repeat it. We memorize the Lord's Prayer and know it by heart. We learn the alphabet, we learn to count, we learn the multiplication table by rote, by continuous repetition. We may know Psalm 146 by heart, "Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, O my soul! I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being", but do we understand what it means. When learning to read music I learned the rhymes, "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" and FACE for the alternate keys, but that did not mean I could read music.
We hear the stories of our faith, we tell the stories of John the Baptist, but have we engaged with the story, chewed on it, struggled with it, and questioned it? There is nothing wrong with having doubts and asking questions. Was Mary really a virgin? Why is Jesus born to an unwed teenager? Was John really Jesus' cousin? Why does Matthew include the story of the wise men and were there really only three? What is the author of the gospel really trying to tell us? It is in the questioning, the struggle with the story that we really come to understand the message.
Have you heard the phrase "Elevator Speech"? Essentially an Elevator Speech is an extremely pithy description of something, prepared in advance to be used in situations where time is of the essence. The term comes from the hypothetical situation of somebody seeing a pin or something similar on your person that arouses their curiosity while in an elevator (such as a Safety Pin), and then asking you what exactly the pin stands for. Because "Welcoming and Affirming" would be rather difficult to explain in the remaining duration of the elevator ride, the prepared elevator speech serves to provide as best of an answer as possible in the available time.
At a recent Episcopal Evangelism Conference, that sounds like a bit of an oxymoron doesn't it, the participants were asked to create an elevator speech of who Jesus was and why they loved him. It is harder than you think. How would you explain in 30 seconds why you are a Christian, why loving Jesus is still relevant in the 21st century? Try it.
In today's gospel, John needed to be reassured as to why he loved Jesus, why he believed Jesus was the Messiah and why he was willing to die for that belief. When John's disciples came to Jesus to ask if he was the Messiah, Jesus did not answer their question directly. Jesus asked them to look at the evidence and decide for themselves. "Jesus answered them, 'Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news brought to them. And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me." Jesus didn't tell them what to believe, but challenged them to think about it and come to a conclusion.
Your homework this week is to think about why you love Jesus and write a 30 second "Elevator Speech". Start with three minutes and distill it down to the most important details. Look at the evidence, review scripture, watch for where you see God active in our community today and come to your conclusion. Is Jesus the Messiah? Why is He relevant today? And why do you love Jesus? I look forward to hearing some of your answers in the future. Happy discernment! Amen.

The Jamie's Fund model
Jamie's Fund Supports New Service at Bwindi Hospital for People with Depression
23rd March 2020 /in News /by Jenny Smith
Kuule Yusuf, PCO, is the mental health lead at Bwindi Community Hospital. Dr Holly Tyson is a UK GP with an interest in mental health, who is working there for 12 months. Together they began to look for an effective and sustainable psychological treatment for the many people presenting there with depression. They found that Group Interpersonal Therapy (IPT-G) had been successfully rolled out elsewhere in Uganda and that the trainers were still active locally.
They devised and costed a Group IPT pilot scheme of initial training of local staff, to be followed by roll out of three 8 week IPT groups over the coming six months. If found to be successful, Bwindi Hospital Management committed to making it part of the hospital's ongoing mental health workplan.
Jamie's Fund has been supporting the mental health team at Bwindi for some years as they work to deliver mental healthcare across their remote community. So Kuule and Holly asked if Jamie's Fund would support the training. We were pleased to be able to help with sponsoring the training.
Group IPT training sessions
Moderate to severe depression is said by the World Health Organisation to be responsible for a very significant personal, economic and social burden globally. Antidepressant medication can be effective, but for many people, the underlying causes also need to be recognised and addressed. Across the world, these are often to do with relationships and loss. Additionally, in low income countries, reliable and affordable supplies of medication may be limited.
Role-play in action during training session
This is why the WHO mental health training for non-specialist staff, mhGAP, includes Group Interpersonal Therapy as a front line treatment for depression. In a collective social culture like Uganda, group interventions can be particularly acceptable and powerful. IPT focuses on understanding the links between the person's mood and their interpersonal difficulties, and on finding new ways to deal with these difficulties.
Having brought the IPT trainers over to Bwindi in late February, the first steps towards a new service have already been taken. We will post updates as we get them.

A very psychologically minded hospital
9th March 2020 /in News /by Jenny Smith
We first visited St Paul's in Kasese in November 2018. St Paul's is a Health Centre IV, essentially a small hospital, on the edge of town.
A former chapel building has been creatively divided up to form wards. It is surrounded by other buildings housing a range of facilities, and trees provide welcome shade.
When she arrived at St Paul's in June 2018, Alihabwe Sudaat, the Psychiatric Clinical Officer (PCO), was soon given the opportunity to attend the mhGAP Train the Trainers course, sponsored by Jamie's Fund, and delivered by some of the Ugandan tutors at Butabika Hospital.
In her Mental Health role, Sudaat was seeing about 10 patients a month. Because of the
cost, few of her patients were able to return to St Paul's for follow-up after leaving the
hospital. Apart from a psychologist colleague in the HIV/AIDs service, at that stage Sudaat was a little isolated professionally, and perhaps needed support to gainmore confidence in her role.
She qualified in mental health 10 years previously, but as so often happens, she had worked in other departments. St Paul's was her first full time MH post.
Jamie's Fund supported Sudaat and some of the mental health staff from Bwindi and Kagando Hospitals to meet and share ideas and experiences about services and data collection. They all embraced this opportunity enthusiastically, soon spending a couple of days together at Bwindi.
Feeling encouraged, Sudaat and her colleagues rolled out a very successful mhGAP course for the non-specialist staff at St Pauls, teaching them to identify and successfully treat common presentations of mental ill health.
On our visit in September 2019 we found a newly trained and highly enthusiastic team eager to report on their progress and offer ideas for future developments.
Most of them not only had received mhGAP training but have also been through a new psychosocial support training programme designed to enable support to families affected by Ebola, currently rampaging in nearby Democratic Republic of Congo.
(Thankfully the one case of ebola that came into Uganda was very effectively dealt with at Kagando Hospital).
Reverend Dr Peter, the new medical director at St Paul's, is warmly supportive of all developments, both current and potential, to improve services for people with psychological problems, mental illness and epilepsy.
He told us that so many of the individuals who present to the hospital with physical symptoms in fact have depression and anxiety. The hospital now has this newly trained team putting their skills to very good use in detecting and treating such patients.
The team has identified a particularly vulnerable group: local teenagers and young adults. Like many young people in Uganda, they are troubled and anxious, and many turn to drugs and alcohol. The rates of self-harm are worryingly high.
The hospital runs a service specially designed for them – 80-100 attend regularly – and children with disabilities also have a special place. They would love to have a centre for children with special needs in their newly planned Mental Health Centre.
Madam Sudaat with Dr Simon and Dr Maureen
St Paul's can in truth be described as "a very psychologically minded hospital".
They have plans to reach further into the community. Sudaat and her local colleagues, together with others from Kagando hospital, have continued to roll out mhGAP training to include health centre staff, opening up the possibility that mental health clinics could be held at the health centres, bringing the service much nearer to the people and solving the challenge of transport costs.
The cathedral in Kasese is proving a great focus for sensitisation programmes: take the message to where the people are! Sudaat is finding that even some of the African church pastors are beginning to see that modern medicine can be helpful for epilepsy and mental illness.
The St Paul's team has planned an ambitious programme of further sensitisation and training for clergy, police, prison officers, teachers and local leaders.

Kisiizi Develops!
16th January 2020 /in News /by Jenny Smith
The excellent patient care provided by the Ahumuza Centre at Kisiizi Hospital has been
further enhanced by the addition of two new facilities, paid for by Jamie's Fund. Just before
Christmas the new kitchen for the use of families was opened behind the women and
children's ward and a new shelter was built in front of the men's ward.
The new kitchen block.
In Ugandan hospitals it is common for patients to be fed by their families and previously anyone wishing to cook had to cross the stream to use the kitchen behind the maternity ward. The new kitchen means that cooking is done close to the Ahumuza Centre. As well as the kitchen itself, storerooms for fuel and supplies have also been built. Fuel efficient wood burning stoves have been installed. These use less wood and also, importantly, reduce the amount of smoke which can give rise to chest and eye problems.
Cooking a meal in the new kitchen.
A shelter from sun or rain.
The weather in Kisiizi can be hot if you are sitting in the sun. When it rains, the rain can also be very heavy. A shelter for patients and their families to be able to sit and chat is, therefore, essential. Its location is not only a protection but it also allows people to watch the world go by around the hospital, a pastime we all rather like to do!

CASUAL ENCOUNTERS OF THE USEFUL KIND
21st November 2019 /in News /by Jenny Smith
Travelling often brings us into close contact with strangers for a time; sometimes with unexpected connections made, and opportunities to tell the story of the reason for our journey.
Last November, flying to Uganda, I sat beside Liz Boonabanna, who talked about her work for the Belgian aid agency, Enabel. This was to build HR capacity in the public services of health and education. So we had an interesting conversation about the challenges and solutions of her work. (The man on the other side of me was a Ugandan professional footballer in the Norway premier league; interesting in a different way!) Once in Uganda, and visiting Kagando Hospital, I picked out the word Enabel in the list of partner and donor organisations to the hospital.
A bit bleary-eyed over breakfast in the guest house on our first morning in Uganda, a fellow guest, Fiona Beckerlegge, talked about how she had started a small child development centre, Kayaninga, in Fort Portal, to support parents and others meet the needs of their disabled children. She was a physiotherapist, who had initially come to Uganda to work for one family with a disabled child, and saw the lack of any help for the many children with physical and learning disabilities.
Later, at Bwindi Hospital, the mental health service lead, Kuule, asked us if we knew of any UK physiotherapists who might be willing to come to Bwindi for a short time to train the parents of children with cerebral palsy. We did, but we also immediately thought of the resource on the doorstep, Kayaninga, and put them in touch.
Leaving again for Uganda in two days, I wonder who I will encounter this time…

A sad 16-year old
29th October 2019 /in News /by Jenny Smith
Enock was just one year old when he had his first epileptic fit. Now 16, his whole life has been affected by the fits and the responses of local people to both him and his family.
In most of Africa the traditional understanding of epilepsy is the same as for mental illness. There is a widespread belief that these problems are caused by demons, evil spirits who enter the person and cause the abnormal behaviour. Another explanation might be that someone else is jealous and has organised the local "witchdoctor" to put a spell or curse on the person who then develops what we know as epilepsy. Sometimes it is thought that the ancestors are angry with the family or community, and have chosen this person to become sick to demonstrate their displeasure.
Modern medicine has shown that epilepsy is caused by an abnormality in the brain, which we can see and measure through brain wave recordings and brain scans. We understand a lot about the cause, and we can treat the illness very well with the right tablets. However, people in the villages have little or no idea about such things.
If you believe that the problem is evil spirits, you would not think to go to a hospital for treatment, but you would naturally go to the local African church for prayers to exorcise the demons. Sometimes these prayers can go on all night, even for days and nights, giving the person no sleep.
Enock's mum was left a widow with her two boys. They have tried traditional medicine and prayers. They have also sometimes come to their local health centre where they can get modern medicine for the epilepsy. However, sometimes the medicine has been out of stock. Over the years Enock's treatment has been very erratic. In addition, the health centre staff who treated him forgot that a little boy becoming a teenager would need bigger doses of medicine as he grew up. For all these reasons his fits have not been well controlled.
People in the villages of Uganda are very afraid when they see someone behaving strangely. There is a fear that if the "possessed" person comes too close, the demons might enter them too! People with mental illness and epilepsy are also widely regarded as "useless". The children at Enock's school often taunted and mistreated him. He attended just one year of primary schooling before he gave up.
If you keep having fits, people in the community can treat you cruelly. And continuing fits do further harm to your brain, with the results that in in the end you can't think very clearly or learn very easily. There are other possible harms as well, if you go on having fits, and you may come to physical as well as mental harm. This has happened to Enock who suffered a really serious accident.
Ugandan houses in the villages often have an open fire in the main room where everyone lives, cooks and eats. Recently Enock fell into the fire in a fit, and his arm was burnt to the bone. His mum delayed bringing him for treatment so the injury got infected, and Enock has now had to be admitted to hospital and has needed complicated surgery to start repairing the damage.
When we met Enock and his mum, I was struck by how sad he looked. He has little to do at home, a few household chores maybe, or making simple bricks. But many employers would never think of employing someone with epilepsy or mental illness. Who knows what might happen if the strange behaviour started when this person was at work?
We discovered that Enock has all the signs of depression, and we weren't surprised. The mental health team will now get to know him better, and try to get his medication properly sorted out. They will talk with him, so that he can begin to feel better about himself.
We'd like to get him and his mum some support from the village health team worker. The team might even be able to help him with some work therapy. As with many of the Bwindi team's patients, getting them into the kind of employment that earns regular money helps them gain some self-respect. And the community also learns that these people are certainly not useless.
Maybe some conversations with the local community could help too. In another town, the mental health team ha s worked really hard at telling people about modern treatment for both epilepsy and mental illness. Of the hundreds of people who heard this message, almost no-one knew there was such a treatment. However, if people could be encouraged to come for modern medicines and treatment, there might be much more hope for Enock and people like him.
We asked mum and Enock how they would feel about us taking a photo, explaining that we wanted others to understand what it is like for them, having to deal with these problems every day. They agreed. As we showed him his photograph, Enock smiled for the first time that day.

New Friends and New Skills – continuing the Professional Development
Arriving at the post-graduate centre at Butabika
They came from the east of Uganda, within a few miles of the Kenyan border. They came from the west of Uganda, from within a couple of miles of the border with Congo, They came from the northwest corner of Uganda just over the border into the Congo. Some we have been working with for up to six years. Some we had met for the first time only the week before, and they didn't really know what Jamie's Fund was trying to do.
In the end, thirty one people came together at the postgraduate centre at Butabika, the national psychiatric hospital in Kampala, for a time of professional development, under the leadership of psychiatric staff from Butabika, and supported by some of the team from Jamie's Fund.
We had three great days together with laughter, sharing ideas, teaching and learning. There were challenges at different levels; there was no water for the whole hospital including the accommodation where they were staying. Some of the teachers turned up very late and weren't as interesting as they could have been; time keeping to begin with wasn't great; but we improved that significantly.
Dr Hafsa
We were delighted that Dr. Hafsa, the government's mental health lead came to open our workshop. She was very appreciative and encouraging about the developments that Jamie's Fund is supporting.
The three day workshop covered a range of topics that included psychotherapy skills training, management of emergencies such as agitated or suicidal patients, and rehabilitation of patients with longer term illness.
Sessions on service development were particularly well received, because delegates had begun to catch the vision of what might be possible if they could bring services to the very villages where their patients live. Where people can attend their local health centre they don't have to pay transport to get to the hospital, and the health centre staff can get to know them and their families. The Bwindi team started this kind of community service first and so provided a very helpful model for others to think about, imagining what they might develop in their own settings. We also heard about their alcohol harm reduction service: an important challenge all over Uganda.
Some of the audience
Service development needs excellent leadership and good teamwork, topics that provoked a lively interaction. We included discussion on the well-being of professionals working in mental health, which can bring particular pressures and certainly carries its own stigma.
One of the recurrent themes became almost a running joke: Don't forget to collect the data! We all need data to discover the impact of any new developments. And Jamie's Fund needs that information if we are to advocate for more resources.
Over the three days everyone worked hard but it wasn't all work and, towards the end of the workshop, we all went out for a celebration dinner at a nearby hotel where we enjoyed having time to talk with each other about life apart from work. The challenges that some people had overcome in order to reach their current position were inspiring. One older man told me how, when he went to secondary school, he had to walk all the way, some 70 kilometres in 2 days, carrying his belongings in a wooden case on his head and on top of that was his mattress that he slept on. Others were beneficiaries of the sacrifices that the families had made to fund their education.
Dr Basangwa, the executive director of Butabika came to close the workshop. He had taught many of the people on the course and he was treated with respect and affection. It was impressive that he still knew many of their names.

Too soon it was over. People departed clutching their attendance certificates and bags printed with the Jamie's Fund logo. The appreciation and gratitude of everyone involved was touching. Other than the learning and skills training, one of the great benefits of the workshop is the mutual encouragement to aim even higher: One delegate said he came thinking that his hospital was doing well: he then discovered there was so much more they could do, and he left full of plans for the future.

We intend to organise another workshop next year, as we believe it is valuable for people to come together to compare experiences of the challenge of working in mental health, an area in which the staff share the stigma felt by their patients. In their own workplaces they are often isolated and unsupported. These days proved a very worthwhile time together.
As you will appreciate there is a not insignificant cost to bringing people together in this way. The benefits, however, far outweigh the cost as students are energised to try new approaches, encouraged by the stories of what is happening in other areas and supported by the new friends and colleagues made. The investment in these committed people is already benefitting large numbers of people across Uganda.

We are off to a mental health Professional Development Workshop in Kampala!
8th September 2019 /in News, Uncategorised /by Ewan Wilkinson
On-going professional development is hugely important in any profession and perhaps even more so when those professionals often feel isolated by working alone and far from others. Bringing practitioners together allows not only the development of knowledge, skills and understanding but also the building of new support networks.
Jamie's Fund is proud to again be sponsoring a professional development workshop in at the National Psychiatric Hospital at Butabika in Kampala in September 2019. This follows last year's very successful inaugural workshop. This is a helpful location as it is reasonably central and also some of the tutors will also be from the government services. The programme is being led by Joshua Ssebunnya. Joshua is a well-known psychologist with many publications to his name, and he is based at Butabika. We are fortunate to have his support.
We are greatly encouraged that so far, we have 28 people coming from 17 different hospitals or health centres, across Uganda. We are also delighted to be welcoming one isolated member of staff just over the north-western border from Arua in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Many of those attending are staff we have been working with over the past few years, but others we will be meeting for the first time.
Generous donations have covered about three quarters of the cost of the workshop, but we are still looking for a further thousand pounds or so. If you are able to contribute please either e-mail info@jamiesfund.co.uk or go to the donation page and say your donation is for the workshop.
While we are in Uganda we intend to make the most of being there and to visit as many hospitals and health centres as we can. This will enable us to see where people are based, to understand local issues and concerns and to develop relationships. Also, and perhaps most importantly, it is encouraging for staff who can feel isolated to be encouraged and affirmed in the vital work they are doing. Excitingly, the number of hospitals and health centres to visit has doubled as we have recently been made welcome to build the relationships with those run by the Catholic church in addition to the 12 we already work with affiliated to the Anglican Church of Uganda.
This increase in the number of locations will further stretch our slim resources but it will also means that we are supporting a much wider network of hospitals and health centres. This will further strengthen the support network that is already developing. We believe that as the network develops the hospitals and mental health staff in each area can do more to support and encourage each other. Please click for a map of all the places we are in contact with.
Three of the Jamie's Fund team are going to Uganda on this occasion: Linda Shuttleworth & Maureen and Ewan Wilkinson. We are also delighted to be joined by Dr Simon Tavernor, a consultant psychiatrist in the UK who is considering working with Jamie's Fund.
Maureen and Ewan Wilkinson will be writing a blog during their visit to Uganda and you are welcome to follow what they are up to here.

A LEGEND RETIRES!
5th September 2019 /in News, Uncategorized /by Jenny Smith
Nancy Mwebesa
Psychiatric Clinical Officer Nancy Mwebesa was given a memorable send-off by her friends and colleagues at Kisiizi Hospital at the end of June. After a lifetime working in Ugandan healthcare, Nancy is taking a well-deserved retirement. She won't be going too far away, however, as we hear that she is going to make her home in Mbarara town, a couple of hours up the road. When we spoke with Nancy about retirement plans during our recent November visit, she was looking forward to the next phase in life, and having more time for her church, her garden, for friends, and for her handicrafts.
Some of us have known Nancy since 2010, our first trip to Kisiizi, to explore the possibility of a mental health partnership between Kisiizi Hospital and Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Trust.
At that time, Nancy began to tell us something of her story, which began with how she had come to undertake Psychiatric Clinical Officer training at Butabika, the National Mental Hospital in Kampala. She had completed it 3 years previously, which allowed the first PCO, Yusufu Kuule, to leave for Kampala to study Community Psychology at Makerere University. Nancy had started work as a young woman as a Nursing Assistant, but soon realised that she was capable of more, and trained as an enrolled nurse, and then as a registered general nurse. Her compassion for the mentally ill led her to further training and she finally qualified as a Registered Mental Health Nurse. Training is individually costly in time, effort and money, and she had hoped that was an end of it, but was persuaded that there was a need for her to train as a PCO. Reluctantly, she uprooted to Kampala with her children, to live in a rented room in the city for the two years, in very impoverished circumstances. However, she embraced every training opportunity offered with enthusiasm, and was obviously appreciated by her tutors for her ability and motivation.
As we got to know each other better, later in the visit, she told us of the earlier difficulties she had had to overcome in her long journey. She had 4 children, the middle ones being twins, and when the youngest was very small, her husband left her to take up a relationship with a much younger cousin, with whom he has remained and now has 9 children by. Nancy and he separated. Nancy was devastated, almost wanting to vanish from the face of the earth.
Later, she further told us of how as a child she used to blame her parents for her weak leg, but eventually realised they had done their best to seek treatment for her. (An injection for a skin infection had gone wrong and caused a wasting paralysis of the limb, which never fully recovered.) She did not start school until she was 12, through her parents' worry and protectiveness of her. They feared that the long walk to school would be too much for her. Her father didn't expect her to attend beyond Primary 3, but Nancy's determination took her much further. Even at retirement, she also credits her father's pride, love and encouragement for what she has achieved in life.
Nancy has talked to us about her willingness to tell her story. She says that it shows others that they are not alone, that recovery is possible, and that it is good not to dwell on or blame the past, but to find ways of moving on. An inspiring woman, Nancy Mwebesa.

14th May 2019 /in News, Uncategorised /by Jenny Smith
The value of mental health outreach into the communities of rural Uganda was demonstrated again this week as the team from Kagando Hospital, led by PCO Joseph Wakabo, held an outreach clinic at Kinyamaseke, supported by Jamie's Fund.
Kinyamaseke is 12km from Kagando Hospital which can take up to an hour, travelling by car on local roads. This community is located just north of the Queen Elizabeth National Park in the East Africa Rift Valley and is about 45km south west of the district capital of Kasese.
The team, consisting of Joseph Wakabi psychiatric clinical officer, and Robert Baluku a mental health nurse as well as the driver, held an outdoor clinic and were able to meet 43 patients during the visit. This is highly significant given that most of these people would otherwise have had to walk to the hospital to meet the team to collect the regular medication upon which they depend or to receive an initial diagnosis for their condition.
Crops growing near the clinic
Of the 43 patients, just over half live with epilepsy, a condition that is treated by mental health teams in Uganda and in much of Africa. Of the remaining patients, there were a number of conditions including psychosis and one person with possible Parkinsons disease. All the patients will be seen again on the 30th May provided that they can again get to the clinic. The majority of patients live in the sub-countyof Munkunyu and the maximum distance patients had to walk to the clinic was about 5km.
Last month two men who had been shackled because of their mental disturbance were started on treatment and we are very pleased to hear that it was now safe for them to have the shackles removed. This will enable them to return to being constructive members of the community.
The cost of providing a clinic like the one at Kinyamaseke may be as little as £50, but it can transform lives. Jamie's Fund is pleased to support this work but it depends on your generosity and support. Please donate today, if you can.

Concert raises over a thousand pounds
7th May 2019 /in News, Uncategorised /by Jenny Smith
The Castle Singers raising money for Jamie's Fund
The Castle Singers, a Heswall choir, gave a concert in support of Jamie's Fund in Heswall URC Church at the end of April. It was an enjoyable evening with a light and varied programme
including the old Flanders and Swan song "The Gas Man Cometh" and a spirited modern rendition of "To God be the Glory". There was a good turn out with people coming from North Wales and Liverpool as well as Wirral.
Some people had donated generous prizes for the raffle. The first prize was for afternoon tea for 6, provided in your own home.
Overall one thousand and fifty pounds were raised. This will fund the training of seven people on the mhGAP courses we are organising in Uganda. Warm thanks to the Castle Singers, to all who helped on the evening and to those who supported the event.

Home Entertainment Meerkat Maantuig (DVD) Review – A compelling local drama lost in a silly plot device
Meerkat Maantuig (DVD) Review – A compelling local drama lost in a silly plot device
By Craig Risi
When it comes to local Afrikaans's films, it's refreshing to get something that isn't a sloppy romance, cheesy slapstick or politically tinged drama. And with Meerkat Maantuig not just deviating from any of those overused troupes, but also offering to provide elements of horror to go along with its emotive story, I was intrigued to give it a view.
Getting hopes high of horror elements in this film were perhaps little optimistic because this move was about as scary as My Little Pony. In fact, the whole storyline that drives much of the film's intended terror and narrative is completely contrived and unnecessary on the face of it. Meerkat Maantuig follows the story of Gideonette De Lay Rey (Anchen du Plessis) whose name forms part of a curse which is believed to be haunted by a terrible spirit. The curse is never fully explained though. All we know is that her father Gideon (Drikus Volschenk), who supposedly also carries the cruse, but is the local church pastor, chooses to give his daughter the name to prove he actually believe in the superstition.
This doesn't help though as the guilt of making a decision only increases as she gets older and becomes aware of the curse, and it defines her actions and emotions. Following the death of her dad, her mother (Hanle Barnard) decides to send Gideonette off to her grandparents (Pierre van Platzen and Rika Sennett) where she befriends a young mute boy Bhubesi (Themba Ntuli) and gets to learn about friendship and herself as she needs to overcome this strange family curse.
Now, if you've read the above storyline of the movie, you would expect a lot of things to do with curses popping up, but the truth is that while the curse drives the narrative points of the story, it has little to actually do with it. Instead, Meerkat Maantuig (meerkat moonship for those linguistically challenged in Afrikaans) can best be described as a movie about the friendship between Gideonette and Bhubesi. If you're wondering where the name of the film comes from, Bhubesi has a dream of becoming an astronaut and so Gideonette's grandfather builds a meerkat-shaped moon ship for him to live his dream through.
The movie is quite a slow-moving one, especially as it drags out in trying to explain and set up its premise in a rather clumsy and dull way. However, its slow tone is a perfect setting for the rest of the story to come as the friendship and relationship between Gideonette and Bhebesi is quite an endearing one and told in a superbly emotive way. It is this aspect of the story that is its saving grace and makes you wonder why this whole plotline of the curse was even thrown in at all. There are so many better reasons that scriptwriter and director Hanneke Schutte could've used to get Gideonette on a farm with her grandparents and struggling with the themes of grief and friendship that didn't require a gimmick that is poorly utilised.
If a film wants to make use of a horror trope, it needs to embrace it entirely, but it feels clumsy here on a movie that is essentially a coming of age drama. Even more of a pity that Schutte does such a good job with these parts of the story and builds such strong character and emotion into the movie. In fact the film embraces its drama theme wholeheartedly with a pacing, score and acting performances that evoke this motif. Schutte, despite writing the script, seems to know that this is where the films best parts are and focuses almost exclusively on that, relegating the whole curse aspect to a mere plot device and nothing more.
Meerkat Maantuig is not a bad movie, just one which spends too much time on the wrong focus. Had it fully embraced its coming of age roots, it could've easily been one of the better local movies to come out this year. Sadly, it gets lost in a clumsy plot device that makes parts of its story seem silly when in reality, there is so much more depth and heart that could've been chewed upon here.
Meerkat Maantuig
A local Afrikaans drama with a lot of heart and potential that tells a remarkably emotive story that is lost in an unfortunately silly plot device.

Japan, Malaysia to cooperate on energy transition, various issues, says ambassador after meeting Rafizi
>Media & Events > News>Japan, Malaysia to cooperate on energy transition, various issues, says ambassador after meeting Rafizi
Malaysia and Japan will be working together on energy transition and other pertinent issues, including climate change and ageing society, said Japan's ambassador to Malaysia, Takahashi Katsuhiko.
In his latest post on Twitter, Takahashi said he met Economy Minister Mohd Rafizi Ramli and these issues were discussed.
"Good discussion on energy transition as well as other issues such as digital, climate change, disaster risk reduction and ageing society.
"Looking forward to working closely together on these issues," he said.
According to data from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Japan is one of Malaysia's top sources of foreign direct investment in terms of implemented manufacturing projects, with a total investment value of US$688 million (US$1=RM4.405) recorded from January to June this year.
In October 2022, trade with Japan jumped 21.8 per cent year-on-year to RM15.92 billion and accounted for 6.5 per cent of Malaysia's total trade.

Upcoming BMW 7-Series Borrows BMW i3, i8 Tech
Upcoming BMW 7-Series Borrows BMW i3, i8 Tech product 2015-05-20 15:00:19 https://insideevs.com/news/325619/upcoming-bmw-7-series-borrows-bmw-i3-i8-tech/ BMW i3 BMW i8 General, bmw 7 series
Eventually, the all-new BMW 7 Series will get a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but for now the only announced powertrains are ICE-only.
However, the next-generation 7 Series gets something else adopted straight from BMW's electric car parts bin: carbon fiber.
The extensive use of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) in the structure of the passenger cell, the rigorous and detailed application of lightweight design and a new generation of engines combine to reduce the weight of the luxury sedan along with its fuel consumption and emissions figures.
BMW EfficientLightweight: Carbon Core helps to reduce weight by up to 130 kilograms.
Thanks to the BMW EfficientLightweight strategy, the new BMW 7 Series line-up will tip the scales up to 130 kilograms lighter than the outgoing generation of models. At its heart is a body structure with a Carbon Core based on the transfer of technology from the development of the BMW i models. The use of CFRP – whose material properties lend themselves to use in the passenger cell areas exposed to heavy loads – increases torsional rigidity and strength. The configuration of the sheet metal elements can be adjusted accordingly, allowing body weight to be significantly reduced.
Next Gen BMW 7 Series
We won't cover the 7 Series in detail here, as it doesn't yet have a plug-in variant. If interested in obtaining additional detail on the next-gen 7, then hit up this link to BMW's media site.

Thank you to Lisa for letting me take part in this tour. This is the second book in the Ryders series and I have to say it did not disappoint.
Before we get on to the characters I have to say that I adored the island of Elpitha. I am half Greek myself and I love visiting Greek islands and seeing the culture there. I could imagine the scenes at the taverna very clearly. I have some friends in a village in Corfu that are exactly the same, whenever I visit they sit me down and ply me with food and alcohol and tell me stories. I love it so I can see why Gabriella was so fiercely protective of the island.
Gabriella's plan is to bore and irritate Duke so much on the island that he won't think it's worth the investment. Duke however loves the culture and meeting the residents. I think he starts to fall in love with the island himself as well as falling for Gabriella.
Gabriella has been jaded by her job. As a high flying family law attorney she's seen how relationships can turn nasty and irreparable. This has made her cautious with her heart. She does all she can to resist Duke but sometimes love has other ideas.
Duke is usually so focused when he's on a job. He knows it can get messy to have a relationship with someone who is involved in 0ne of his deals but he just can't stay away from Gabriella. He's feelings are all consuming, he's never felt like this before and he knows that nothing in the world would keep him from Gabriella.
I adored this story and I can't wait to read more of the Ryder family books.
Thank you for hosting and reviewing CLAIMED BY LOVE today!


below what stipulations does a post-conflict executive have authority? What demanding situations to its legitimacy does it face? To what criteria can it's held dependable? through case stories of Sierra Leone and Afghanistan and specified debts of extant overseas legislations, Matthew Saul explores the foreign criminal framework which regulates renowned governance of post-conflict reconstruction.
In comparison to household transactions, the dangers linked to foreign revenues are drastically extended. it's a infrequent foreign revenues contract which could depend on minor diversifications of ordinary phrases, as is so usually the case in household agreements. international legislation, export/import and currency trading controls, treaties, transit matters, inspection of products, assurance, tariffs--all those and extra needs to be taken under consideration in agreement negotiations.
Foreign legislations is either an creation to the topic and a serious attention of its relevant subject matters and debates. the outlet chapters of the booklet clarify how foreign legislations underpins the foreign political and economic climate via constructing the elemental precept of the independence of States, and their correct to decide on their very own political, financial, and cultural structures.
This e-book explores the ability wherein financial liberalisation should be reconciled with human rights and environmental safeguard within the law of foreign exchange. it really is basically occupied with deciding upon the teachings the foreign neighborhood can examine, in particular within the context of the WTO, from a long time of ecu group and Union event in dealing with this query.
The ebook indicates that self-help in advertisement legislations is a quick, reasonably cheap and effective substitute to court docket enforcement. Self-help treatments and personal debt assortment are principally yet no longer solely positive aspects of universal legislations jurisdictions, when you consider that remnants of non-public enforcement can nonetheless be present in agreement legislation in civilian platforms.

In 2008, the subprime mortgage market crashed and led to a severe global recession. History may be repeating itself.
The $1.3 trillion leveraged loan market appears ready to threaten the U.S. financial system and investor portfolios.
Leveraged loans are made by lending syndicates to speculative companies with junk grade credit. The money is often used to finance private-equity transactions, or M&A deals, leveraged buyouts, or to refinance existing debt or recapitalize a balance sheet.
Higher risk means greater returns, and investors have been gorging on the loans.
More than $11 billion has flowed into sixty-four bank loan mutual funds so far this year, according to data from Morningstar, which observed that total assets in the funds now top $144 billion.
The leveraged loan market is now slightly bigger than the high-yield bond market, which poses its own set of perils for investors.
The problem for retail investors is that leveraged loans are very risky credits and are unregulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The leveraged loans are governed by covenants that stipulate what provisions, if any, borrowers must follow to preserve the interests of lenders. Usually they involve maintaining interest coverage and leverage ratios, as well as preserving the position of lenders in the company's capital structure.
Knowledgeable sources have recently expressed concerns about the market for such loans, particularly weakness in the all-important debt covenants.
The quality of protections built into the terms of North American leveraged loans weakened to their worst-ever level in the 2018 third quarter, Moody's Investors Service said last week, warning that the move is exposing investors to higher levels of risk, according to an article by MarketWatch.
If market conditions deteriorate, these loans are more likely to end up in default as there are fewer protections to stop them, MarketWatch reported.
Another warning on leveraged loans came from the Federal Reserve banking regulator who told an industry conference that the Fed was taking a close look at banks' risk management.
Janet Yellen, former Fed Chair, also raised concerns about the market in an interview discussing the growth of such loans, loosening of standards and the role of non-banks in the market.
And Senator Elizabeth Warren, Dem.- Mass., the scourge of Wall Street, was blunt in her concerns that the Federal Reserve and their fellow watchdogs of the financial system are overlooking a dangerous buildup of loans for companies that are already deeply in debt. She warned that leveraged loans helped undermine the financial system in 2008 and are building up again.
Investors need to examine their portfolios to see if they are in risky leveraged loans and discuss their concerns with their financial advisors.
A boom in investor fraud lawsuits involving leveraged loans is likely to occur in 2019. Buyer beware.


The final North Canberra Community Council forum for this year will be held on Wednesday 21 November.
We have invited a guest speaker from Telstra to talk to us about the roll out of ADSL 2+ to North Lyneham, Downer and Watson residents. Following on from this an ACTPLA representative will be briefing the meeting on Technical Amendment 2012-06.
TA2012-06 seeks to amalgamate all of the commercial zone objectives and development codes into a single new Commercial Zones Development Code. More than 100 precinct plans for suburbs and designated centres have been added for clarification. We will also be briefed on TA2012-30. Both amendments require comments by Monday 3 December.


While playing with OpenCV, an idea quickly came to my mind. Can OpenCV help to bypass captcha engines ? The answer is mitigated. Old captcha engine can be bypassed easily but it is not an exact science and if you except in this article to know how to bypass the Google re-Captcha engine I prefer tell you I didn't even tried ! Re-captcha is from my point of view the best. Anyway let's see what we can do with some basic engines. As OCR engine I have used the open source tesseract and my pytesser module (my pytesser implementation. The project is hosted on Github.
In order to process real captchas I have written some functions that use OpenCV. This functions are basically the same than the OpenCV smooth, dilate, erode and so on but to which you can specify the number of rounds. So it is for example easy to apply 10 or more smooth in a row. An interesting function is getIndividualContoursRectangle which return a list of rectangle coordinate of the detected contours. Note: I have also written a small example in the main the show how to use this functions.
To do tests at a larger scale I needed to be able to download multiple captcha images because doing it by hand is too boring. That's why I have written a class that allow to download captcha images by an automated manner. Basically the class the class takes two arguments the url of the page were the captcha is located and the pattern in the image url that will be searched in any img tags. This module also provide a function called "setup_Benchtest" that create the envirronement automatically, create a folder and download twenty images of the given url the the newly created directory. If the directory exists all the images in it are deleted and new are downloaded. You will see a practical usage of the class for Ebay captchas.
I have to choosen to work on Ebay captcha because at the first sight they are quite simple, but it is not inevitably the case as we will see. But in fact there is no real reasons. To setup the test envirronement I just use the captcha downloader described above with the registration form url, and the pattern in the image url which is always "LoadBotImage".
Note: I have noticed that ebay.com does not seems touse captcha to register a new user while ebay.fr does. Moreover the captcha is contained in an iframe, and this is the url of this iframe that you should provide to the downloader.
Note again that this iframe url is generated and is not longer valid after a while.
Note: The crack function implemented can also return the contour only version of the image with a rough approximation of contours.
print file+": "+res+" | "+r+ " OK"
print file+": "+res+" | "+r+" NO"
Without processing: This is the result obtained doing applying the ocr engine on the original image. This gives 20% of accuracy.
After processing with contours: This is the result applying the ocr engine on the contour version of the image. As we can see results are less accurate with 25%.
As we can see results are not satisfying at all, that's why I have elaborated a probabilistic method presented in the next section.
I have elaborated this method with all the results obtained during my test. The fact is for a specific image I almost always find the right parameters to get a nice thresholded image that tesseract will recognise gently. The problem is this parameters change from an image to another. So the idea is to try multiples parameters for the same images, mix the results together to obtain the right recognition.
Note: The algorithm relies on fact that are highly dependent of the captcha engine. Here I based my alogrithm on the fact that characters are always numbers and they are always only 6 numbers.
So it will try 4 different numbers of dilate round, 4 different number of erode round, 4 different threshold values and 4 different size of images (which matter for detection). So 256 different images will b obtained and so 256 different values.
At the end the class take the most occurring character of every dictionnaries and reconstitute a string of 6 numbers which constitute the final value.
And the result is : 198555 (which is wrong). As we can see there the result for the first character is obvious, but for all the others there is a balance between multiples numbers.
print "Avg: ", (count*100)/nb, "%"
The table shown below shows the results of the probabilistic algorithm andthe accuracy. As we can see the algorithm detect more coherent suites of numbers but the overall average of good results is not really better.
When you attack a single captacha it always end up by working adjusting all parameters filters, round and so on, but when you try to elaborate a generic algorithm for a given captcha engine it is far more complex even for simple captcha as the Ebay captcha engine. But as we can see the probabilistic way give better results far more accurate but still not satisfiying due to the limitation of the OCR engine. As you can see the tesseract engine is really capricious (and does not seems to be the best).
With today's captcha engines more than character it is more shape recoginition that should be done. So a good idea would be for a given captcha engine keep in a databse multiples instances of every characters. Then to decrypt a captcha every characters should be split and the shape compared with the registered elements in the database to find the right character. Obviously using this method makes OCR engines useless.

Villa dei Sette Bassi är en romersk villa vid Via Tuscolana i Rom. Villan uppfördes under Antoninus Pius kejsartid (138–161 e.Kr.). Villa dei Sette Bassi, som är en villa suburbana, ingår i Parco archeologico dell'Appia Antica i zonen Capannelle i sydöstra Rom.

Det är inte klarlagt vad "Sette Bassi" syftar på. Enligt en teori åsyftar namnet Lucius Septimius Bassianus, även kallad Caracalla. En annan teori gör gällande att namnet syftar på Septimius Bassus, som var praefectus urbis 317–319.

I've been in a bit of a food slump so this weekend will be filled with meal planning, a trip to the farmers market, and a lot of cooking.

As I prepare each week's Monday Mantra I get discouraged when the message feels too "typical." Today, for example, the focus is on self reliance and the reminder that nobody is in charge of our happiness except ourselves. That is a message I've been reading since the days of AOL instant messenger and the all-so-familiar inspirational away messages. (90's teens, you're all with me, right?) In any case, it is a familiar message but an important one all the same, specifically in terms of our relationship with others.

Q: How to use sklearn.feature_selection.mutual_info_classif properly? My goal is to do Feature Selection. However, I am confused because:

*

*There is parameter discrete_features.
The current solution is to fill discrete_features like this:

*

*nominal features that was one hot encoded is set to True

*numerical features that was scaled is set to False

*ordinal features that was ordinal encoded is set to True

def isolate():
    composer.fit(X=X_train)
    X_train_final = composer.transform(X=X_train)
    y_train_final = y_train.map({'No': 0, 'Yes': 1})
    mi = mutual_info_classif(
        X=X_train_final,
        y=y_train_final,
        discrete_features=[feature.startswith("nom") for feature in composer.get_feature_names_out()]
    )
    df_c = pd.DataFrame()
    df_c['mi'] = mi
    df_c['feature'] = composer.get_feature_names_out()
    display(df_c.sort_values(by='mi', ascending=False).style.background_gradient(cmap='coolwarm'))

isolate()

I am not sure whether mutual_info_classif can know that nom__OnlineSecurity_No Internet Service, nom__OnlineSecurity_Yes, nom__OnlineSecurity_No is one feature.

Objective – We explored age-specific and gender-specific effects of fluoride level in drinking water and the incidence of osteosarcoma.
Results – Analysis is based on 103 cases under the age of 20 and 215 matched controls. For males, the unadjusted odds ratios for higher exposures were greater than 1.0 at each exposure age, reaching a peak of 4.07 (95% CI 1.43, 11.56) at age 7 years for the highest exposure. Adjusting for potential confounders produced similar results with an adjusted odds ratio for males of 5.46 (95% CI 1.50, 19.90) at age 7 years. This association was not apparent among females.
Conclusions – Our exploratory analysis found an association between fluoride exposure in drinking water during childhood and the incidence of osteosarcoma among males but not consistently among females. Further research is required to confirm or refute this observation.

The following paragraphs are intended to provide members with the assurance that if they repurchase the amount indicated by the agreed guidelines they will be meeting the expectation of Article V, Section 1(b). These guidelines would need to be reviewed from time to time in the light of experience.
a. A member's balance of payments and reserve position would normally be deemed to have improved sufficiently for repurchases to be expected under Article V, Section 1(b), if the member's position is judged sufficiently strong in the context of a quarterly designation plan and currency budget. However, a member that makes a purchase in the credit tranches or under a special facility would not be expected to make repurchases under Article V, Section 1(b) until the quarter following the second full quarter after its purchase, provided that at that time its balance of payments and reserve position was judged sufficiently strong.
b. During the quarter following the decisions on the de signation plan and currency budget, it would be expected that the member's outstanding purchases would be reduced by a specified amount, either by repurchases or by sales of the member's currency, or by some combination of the two. The method employed would be at the option of the member.
6. If a member has opted to have its currency sold, it will be included in the operational budget for the amount calculated in accordance with paragraphs 3,4, and 5 above, less the amount of its repurchase obligations maturing during the quarter. If the Fund has not sold the currency in the specified amount before the end of the second month of the quarter, the member will be expected to repurchase any balance remaining before the end of the quarter.
1. (a) Repurchases of the outstanding amount of a member's currency that results from a purchase under the credit tranches and is subject to charges under Article V, Section 8(b), or under the decision on Compensatory Financing of Export Fluctuations (Decision No. 4912-(75/207), as amended) or the decision on The Problem of Stabilization of Prices of Primary Products (Decision No. 2772-(69/47), as amended), or the decision on Compensatory Financing of Fluctuations in the Cost of Cereal Imports (Decision No. 6860-(81/81)), shall be completed, pursuant to Article V, Section 7(c), five years after the date of the purchase, provided that the repurchase shall be made in equal quarterly installments during the period beginning three years and ending five years after the date of the purchase unless the Fund approves a different schedule.
The Executive Board has reviewed Decisions Nos. 6830-(81/65), adopted April 22, 1981, effective from May 1, 1981 and 6831-(81/65), adopted April 22, 1981, effective from May 1, 1981, as amended by Decision No. 7059-(82/23), adopted February 22, 1982. It has concluded that the decisions shall remain in effect without any change.

Biography of Mawlavi Matiul Haq Khalis, Acting president of the ARCS
Mawlavi Matiul Haq Khalis is the son of the great jihadi leader Mawlavi Mohammad Yunus Khalis. He was born in 1961 in a jihadi, enlightened and knowledgeable family of the village of Nokorkhel in the Khogyani district of Nangarhar province.
Mawlavi Matiul Haq's father, the late Mawlavi Mohammad Yunus Khalis was a prominent, influential and world-renowned scholar and jihadi figure in Afghanistan, who for years fought against the Soviet and American invasions to raise the word of Kalimatu-Allah.
Mawlavi Matiul Haq Khalis started his early education and training with his father and two kind uncles (Mawlavi Mohammad Yusuf and Mawlavi Mohammad Ishaq Mohaqi). He also completed his secondary education in his village.
