Dr. Bernard Amadei shares the Heinz Award in the Environment for his work to improve the quality of life in some of the world's poorest communities.
By all accounts, Dr. Bernard Amadei had established an impressive, though mainstream, academic career in engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he arrived in 1982 after earning his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. In 2000, however, his career took an abrupt turn.
Invited by a representative of the Belize Ministry of Agriculture, Dr. Amadei visited San Pablo, a Mayan village of 250 people, to examine the possibility of designing and installing a water delivery system to the village. What he saw, he said, "broke my heart": a village with no electricity, running water or sanitation, and, because most villagers worked at a nearby banana plantation, the responsibility for carrying drinking and irrigation water from a nearby river to the village fell to the village children. Professor Amadei returned to Boulder and recruited eight University of Colorado students in civil and environmental engineering, as well as a local civil engineering expert, to work on the project.
He eventually founded Engineers Without Borders - USA (EWB-USA), which applies a combination of professional expertise and selfless compassion to remote areas of the world. Over the past seven years, and buoyed by the success of the Belize project, Dr. Amadei and EWB-USA have since grown to 224 projects in 43 countries, 8,000 members and 235 established university and professional chapters. In 2001, he co-founded the EWB-International Network, which is now in 45 countries.
Projects typically "find" Engineers Without Borders. Many projects are brought to the organization by universities with international exchange programs, in-country volunteers or by non-profit organizations that have funding but lack the engineering expertise to get the projects done.
Back at the University of Colorado, Dr. Amadei has created a new program called Engineering for Developing Communities. Its overall mission is to educate globally responsible engineering students and professionals who can offer sustainable and appropriate solutions to the endemic problems faced by developing communities worldwide.
Dr. Amadei's engineering solutions are grounded in the principles of environmental, social and economic sustainability that restore human dignity, peace and economic health to poor villages. And he is a man of action, going well beyond the halls of academia to help students and professionals in the United States and elsewhere live lives with purpose by freeing others from oppression and poverty. Through his organization and outreach efforts around the world, Professor Amadei is leaving a legacy of others who will carry on his work.
With the practical insight of an engineer and the compassion of a global humanitarian, Dr. Bernard Amadei is literally transforming pockets of the world that lack even the most basic living infrastructures. His talented and dedicated network of academics, professionals and students is engaged in making sustainable changes that are profoundly improving the lives and fortunes of some of the world's poorest people.

10/22/2007 - Acceptance Speech
Thank you Mrs. Heinz and thank you for giving me this great honor to receive this award from the Heinz Foundation. I'm receiving this award on behalf of a lot of people, of Engineers without Borders, the staff of Engineers without Borders, the executive director of Engineers without Borders, Kathy Leslie who is with us tonight. The volunteers of Engineers without Borders, we have about 9,000 people across the country, who are really trying to make this world a better place. And also, all of the communities that we are serving, all of the people who are looking for a better future, hope, who want clean water, sanitation, the basic things that for us, we take for granted.
Engineers without Borders started originally in my own back yard in 1997. But during my first trip to Belize in 2000, I came across that little girl carrying water back and forth, that little girl could not go to school and as a result was going back into the cycle of poverty over and over again. They asked me can you do something about it, you are a civil engineer. And I said oh yeah, no problem, I am professor of engineering; I'm supposed to know everything. But very quickly I realized that small scale engineering in the middle of the jungle, putting a pump in the middle of the jungle with no electricity and no power whatsoever, will become a very quick challenge. So I threw all my degrees away, my Ph.D., and everything, and decided to address the needs of that community. A year later, I came back with a team of 10 students and we brought water to that village and those little girls could go to school.
When I came out of this project, three things were created, Engineers without Borders at the University of Colorado first and it's spread very quickly, I was the only member at the time, now we have about 9,000 members, we have 235 chapters, we are working in about 43 different countries and working on 250 projects of water, sanitation, energy and shelter.
Another thing that came out of my trip to Belize was for me to realize that the world needs small scale engineering more than ever. Until that time, I had practiced engineering for the one billon rich, big dams, and big tunnels, big everything as if everything has to be big. You know for us engineers, you don't hear about to many engineers saying I was responsible for the construction of a small dam; we need to have it big. Well, let me tell you that in the entire world today they don't want big infrastructure, for 5 billion people it is a question to be alive by the end of the day and I decided on that day that helping the poor, helping those at the bottom of the pyramid, giving them dignity and the basic necessities of life was going to be the things that I wanted to do when I grew up and that's what I did.
And third, I realize also, that this new kind of engineering, small scale engineering, I call it engineering with heart or engineering with a human face, needed bridging between the top three inches of the head and the heart. This is the kind of engineering that can only be done through compassion, if you do not bring compassion today, then that kind of engineering can not succeed.
Finally, let me tell you that we are living today on the planet with 6.4 billion people, 1.2 billion people do not have clean water, and 2.4 billion people do not have sanitation. 29,000 children die for reasons that are purely preventable every day of the year, 1.6 billion people do not have electricity, and 3 billion people do not know how to read or have never placed a phone call. On the same time on that same planet, we are spending 1,054 billion dollars on weapons in the entire world that was 2006; you divide that by 365 days, 24 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds and you find out that we, citizens of this planet are willing to spend 31,000 dollars a second on weapons, when 29,000 children die for reasons that are purely preventable every day - this my friends is not acceptable, period.
So what do we do about, we do what we should be doing as human beings, is to stand up and be the change that we want to see in the world. Nobody else is going to do it and that was the world of Gandhi. Be the change that you want to see in the world.
And I also want to thank my family tonight, who has been really supportive, very patient with me, because I'm on the road quite a lot. I have seen horrible things; children blown up in front of me on land mines. Believe me, I've seen children die in front of me for reasons that are purely preventable, I will never forget those children, and this award goes to them as well. With the award money, I'm going to do two things, bring peace into the world and I'm going to create a project in Palestine to bring Engineers without Borders Palestine that I created and some Israeli students and we work together on a small community in Palestine. I want to see how the young people come out of that project, if they still hate each other, believe me they will love each other and hate will disappear. Another thing, I want to do is to create vocational schools. I read the other day in the World Bank report that in 2020 in the Middle East and in northern Africa, there will be 100 million young people without a job. We as a planet can not afford that. We need to empower the youth, with very creative potential and healthy potential of expressing their creativity, before they discover very dark ways of expressing that creativity. All of us have to do it; all of us have to be an instrument of change. So that's my statement and let's make the world a better place, not just do it, but let's think before we do it, one community at a time.

ISOLATED TENDERNESS This place is hideous. Each person a malformed vision of some mad painter's abstract experimentation. Twisted limbs, sallow skin and growths on top of growths on top of growths. The landscape was a toxic sludge, burnt out trees and dilapidated buildings. The sun never shines here and everything is bleak, in both physicality and emotion. Somewhere, far away, in an old cobblestone tower, there was a woman. Neither monstrous nor retch inducing. Instead, she was gorgeous. A vision, the reason men would paint and write and sculpt. Soft, supple skin and curves that could crush the will of even the most stalwart man. She was of quiet demeanor but obvious passion, lashed to a world of uncompromising abnormality. Or perhaps she was, in fact, the abnormality, because she had no reason to exist in a place so harsh. She sadly spends her days in that old crumbling tower, walking the staircase to the peak. There she sits and gazes into the mirror, and beauty gazes back. The only friend she will ever know. She will never come to know the perils of the outside world. The denizens of this foul place would have no choice but to act out in revulsion. She should be the reigning queen of a decadent kingdom, instead she is trapped in her own Hell, alone within her perfection, until the end of time.

Telegram Postpones Blockchain Launch, Offers To Refund Investors
Telegram has postponed the launch of its Telegram Open Network (TON) blockchain – this time by one more year. As a result of the delay, Telegram is offering investors a 72% refund.
April 30, 2020 | AtoZ Markets – Encrypted messaging app giant Telegram has postponed the launch of its TON blockchain for a second time on April 29. Telegram also announced to offer to return up to 72% of each investor's stake. Telegram first postponed the launch of TON in October 2019. But now, it has postponed it for the second time till April 30, 2021. The company had raised $1.7 billion in the initial coin offering back in 2018.
Telegram makes an offer to its TON investors
Back in October 2019, when Telegram was a few weeks away from launching its gram tokens and its blockchain network TON, the US SEC filed a lawsuit against the company for conducting an illegal ICO.
TON is offering its investors an alternative option to receive 110% of the original investment by April 30, 2021. The offer is 53% higher than the Termination Amount, or investors can take 72% of their stake now. The company was scheduled to launch TON today after SEC filed the lawsuit back in October 2019. Telegram also informed that they are engaging in discussions with the relevant authorities to launch TON.
Telegram will repay the debt using the equity
The company further informed that if regulators continue to block the launch of TON, Telegram will repay the debt using the equity. Currently, the founder and CEO of Telegram is Pavel Durov. Citing Telegram's recent growth to 400 million monthly users, the company believes that the equity value will exceed the aggregate amount of its potential debt resulting from this offer by at least several times. Reportedly, the company had been planning to launch the project just days before the final decision to postpone.
The ton.org website also went online, duplicating the information earlier published on the test.ton.org, which contained code for the TON testnet. TON investors and developers launched a TON Community Foundation, which is an informal group that has been planning to launch its own fork of TON in case Telegram failed to do so.
What do you think about Telegram postponing the launch of its TON blockchain network by one more year? Let us know in the comments below.

Q: How to prefetch on a collection using Backbone I have the following method that performs a fetch on my collection and then calls the render function to display the results.  This all works fine and it's triggered every time the user gets down to the bottom of the page.
However during this fetch I then want to prefetch the next batch of items so that the experience will be better for the user.  I'm not sure how to achieve this.  I thought about doing another this.collection.fetch (Check my code) and then assigning the results to a variable but I wasn't sure if this is bad practice.
Then I could maybe consult this variable to see if its got any contents the next time the user gets to the bottom of the page?
Has anyone done something similar and can give me some guidance?
loadItems: function() {

    var that = this;

    this.collection.fetch({
        data: {"offset": this.offset, "limit": this.limit},
        success: function () {
            that.render();

            that.offset += that.limit;

            //Maybe I can do another fetch here
            this.collection.fetch({
                data: {"skip": this.skip, "limit": this.limit, "sort": this.sortKey}
                success: function () {
                    //However I'm not really sure how I would get the results and assign them to a variable
                }
            });
        }
    });
},
render: function() {
    var self = this;

    _(this.collection.models).each(function(product){
        self.appendItem(product);
    }, this);
},
appendItem: function(product) {
    var productView = new ProductView({
        model: product
    });
    $(this.el).find(".products-list").append(productView.render().el);
}

A: Why not fetching when the main page is loaded ?
var data = collection.fetch();
When it hits the bottom you view.render(update); then update data by fetching again data = collection.fetch();
So data is keeping the collection state, when it will hit the bottom for the second time it will display what is already fetched and stored in data then fetch again and update data for the next bottom hit...
var data;
collection.fetch({
 success: function(model) {
    data=model.toJSON();
 }
})

The midshipman who has accused three Naval Academy football players of sexual assault during a crowded party at an off-campus house in Annapolis, Md., has admitted under oath that heavy drinking affected her memory of the night in question.
Testifying for more than two hours at a preliminary military hearing held Wednesday at the Washington Navy Yard, the alleged victim said she only pieced together what had happened on April 14, 2012, through Twitter and Facebook posts and academy gossip.
Midshipmen Tra'ves Bush and Joshua Tate face possible charges of aggravated sexual assault while Midshipman Eric Graham could face charges of abusive sexual contact. The case has made headlines amid rising concern regarding sexual assaults in the military. The Pentagon estimates that as many as 26,000 service members were assaulted last year.

We finally left the hills behind today. The road levelled out beneath our tyres and the loom of unsteady earth lifted away from our shoulders. We're all breathing easier now.
Sometime in the night, there was the underground rumble of rocks giving way, shaking us up out of our slumber. The rain had leeched away enough earth to send scree tumbling down to reshape the land, close enough to make the windows rattle.
Needless to say, more than one of us panicked. We fumbled for lights and then for faces with our beams. I had to count heads twice to be sure that I had everyone, and almost did it a third time because of a niggling feeling that someone was missing. Oddly enough, it was the brace on Dale's arm that reminded me who was gone.
Once we were sure that everyone was together, we started to look for the rockfall. It was quieter than the last time, though that might have been because of the rain, so we rushed around inside the gutted corner store we had chosen to shelter us for the night. Flashlight beams just didn't reach far or wide enough – everything is disorienting in the dark. Shadows play tricks, slipping around corners and across surfaces like liquid, making objects look big, or flat, or just not there at all. The faint slither of acid glinting off building exteriors didn't help, either. I'd have given anything for a good floodlight.
It had been quiet for a while before we were satisfied that we weren't close to the rockslide, or mudslide, or whatever it was. We peeled ourselves away from our chosen windows and gathered in the middle of the little store, and just looked at each other. Then we shrugged, someone gave a wry laugh at our skittishness (I think that was Matt), we all relaxed and Tia burst into tears. I think it was relief. I looked at Dale and found him pale-faced with tension. Thorpe hovered behind him like an angry bear.
The boys went and stirred up the fire; no-one was going back to sleep after that. Terry was trying to comfort Tia, but she kept shaking her head and hiccuping as if her tears were choking her. He looked so strained that I went over to see if I could help, put my arm around the girl's shoulders and suggested that he let me try. He looked relieved as he went to join the others; he loves his sister, but I don't think he gets girls well enough to handle this kind of thing.
I got her to sit down a little way from the fire where we could talk undisturbed. It took a while for her to calm down enough to speak, and I tried not to listen to the dripping of the rain in the meantime. It has taken on a menacing tone now, worming its way in, as inexorable as the monsters it creates if it doesn't kill us. Watching the ceilings is a common pastime for us.
I tried to tell her that I got it, I understood – she was scared after what happened a few days ago. Afraid of being buried, afraid of dying.
I had no idea what to say to her. The tears weren't relief – they were disappointment. It wasn't exactly a problem I had anticipated. The only thing I could think of was to keep her talking, so I asked her what she meant.
She covered her face like that was the worst thing in the world. I mentioned her brother and she shook her head.
"…in a manner of speaking, yeah." It wasn't exactly how I'd put it.
I don't know if she heard me. She nodded and seemed to take it on board, but I really don't know. I asked her to think about it and left her to collect herself. Dale and Matt were singing some kind of ditty that stopped as soon as I came over and left Terry grinning. I rolled my eyes and told them to sing something we all knew. Eventually, Tia came to join us and even helped us fill the room with sound. We're not the most musically skilled bunch, but we have bravado and the ability to make stuff up as we go.
We left the threat of landslides and being buried in displaced earth behind, but there's a part of it still with us. Not just in the cuts and bruises we all bear; there's that temptation still eating at Tia. We're going to have to protect her from herself as much as from everything else.
The thing is, if she puts herself in danger, I'm not sure that we should stop her. None of us would blame her for choosing to get out of this life. She's old enough to make her own decisions, but she's not even twenty yet.
Once upon a time, I would never have considered this a question: the answer was always 'no'. Now I'm not sure what I'll do, faced with her choice. I'm not sure what this says about me.


Lawn care during winter is not as hectic as during summer for several reasons. Lawn grass usually hibernates due to the cold temperature but this doesn't mean you are to leave your lawn unattended. You might have to be watchful now more than ever as a matter of fact. Generally, below are some tips you can put into practice for the best winter lawn maintenance in Austin.
Yes, it's winter. And lawn care in Texas is not as hectic as it usually is during summer and spring but this notwithstanding, you have to keep your lawn clean. Ensure you regularly rake and clean off leaves, branches, and objects on your lawn to prevent the development of dead spots and stunted grass on your lawn after the winter season. The weight of the materials compresses grasses if not removed for long. Apart from suffocating your lawn grass, leaving leaves and other objects on your lawn grass might lead to other conditions like pest or disease infestation from decaying or contaminated matter.
Before the onset of winter, you can prepare your lawn grass to get used having a shorter length by cutting it lower with each mowing session. This will save your lawn from being inhabited by pests when winter finally comes.
It is important you apply fertilizers to your lawn grass just before winter. Fertilizer application during this period helps your lawn recover nutrients lost during the summer and your grass will benefit greatly from having enough nutrients to feed it throughout the cold, winter season. You can apply your fertilizer with a spreader to achieve an even spread on your lawn without the danger of over-concentration in any particular area.
Contact Lawn mowing services in Austin that encourage aerating of the lawn even in winter and this suggestion has been found to be useful to your lawn's health. The best time to do this is before winter comes and before you apply the fertilizer. Aeration and fertilizer application go together; the aerated soil allows easier permeation of the applied fertilizer through it. To aerate properly, you can do it yourself using a spade to turn up your lawn or hire a mechanized lawn aerator to punch out soil plugs in the soil before applying fertilizer.
If you have a large lawn, a better alternative would be to engage the services of a lawn mowing service in Austin, Texas to get the job done in no time at all.
Winter season means your lawn might be undercover for a while and it's quite easy for people to walk or drive over your lawn during this period. This might not be bad if the amount of traffic is moderately but excessive movement or driving over by cars is inadvisable. Parking of cars or other objects should also be frowned at because it creates dead spots on your lawn from the suffocated grass. At best, it will lead to stunted or poorly growing grass after the winter period.
You may protect your lawn from this by putting up a sign close to your lawn warning people from walking, driving or parking on your lawn.Click below to get a quick quote for lawn care services.

Democrats are actually raising taxes on the ultrawealthy, even though they're keeping a Trump tax cut
Ayelet Sheffey Nov. 23, 2021, 9:48 PM
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) takes questions from reporters at her weekly news conference on Capitol Hill on Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021. Kent Nishimura / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images
The Joint Committee on Taxation first estimated Democrats' economic plan will cut taxes for the rich.
But the committee issued a correction on Tuesday saying the bill will raise taxes for the rich, instead.
This comes even as Democrats' bill retains a Trump tax cut from 2017.
A nonpartisan congressional taxation committee backtracked on its initial estimate of President Joe Biden's Build Back Better Plan on Tuesday. Instead of cutting taxes for the wealthy, as was first projected, Biden's plan will raise their taxes — even while keeping President Donald Trump's tax cuts.
The Joint Committee on Taxation issued a correction that noted Democrats' economic spending plans will raise average taxes for Americans' with incomes over $US1 ($AU1) million by 3.2 percentage points. This contrasted the committee's initial estimate that Democrats' plan would cut taxes for the rich by 1.7 percentage points, as NBC's Sahil Kapur reported.
—Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) November 23, 2021
This finding will help Democrats, and Biden, tout the Build Back Better social-spending bill that passed the House last week. But it now heads to the Senate, where it will likely face changes at the hands of centrist Democratic holdouts Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, particularly when it comes to tax provisions in the bill.
As Insider's Joseph Zeballos-Roig reported, a group of House Democrats want to raise the total amount of state and local taxes (SALT) that people can shave off their federal taxes to $US80,000 ($AU110,845) from $US10,000 ($AU13,856), the cap created under Trump. While some Senate Democrats, like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, have balked at the idea because it would it largely benefits wealthier Americans in high-tax states like New York and California, Manchin was the lone Democrat who backed a GOP proposal to establish the cap in late 2017.
"At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, the last thing we should be doing is giving more tax breaks to the very rich," Sanders wrote on Twitter. "Democrats campaigned and won on an agenda that demands that the very wealthy finally pay their fair share, not one that gives them more tax breaks."
The final version of the bill, and what tax provisions end up in it, remain to be seen as the Senate works to get the social-spending package, with climate measures and universal pre-K, signed into law before Christmas. And along with the lifting the SALT cap, four weeks of paid leave and medicare expansion is also on the chopping block.

Домінат ( «пан» відносно раба) — форма правління у Стародавньому Римі, що прийшла на зміну принципату, встановлена Діоклетіаном (роки правління 284 — 305). У домінат включають період тетрархії.

Словом «домінат» звичайно позначають період історії Стародавнього Риму з IV по VI століття. По-іншому його можна назвати період «пізньої античності». Вважають, що термін «домінат» походить від звичайного для того часу звернення до імператора — «пан і бог» (dominus et deus). Домінат став наступним етапом поступової трансформації Римської республіки в монархію з необмеженою владою імператора. У період принципату старі республіканські інститути зберігалися, і формально продовжували діяти, а глава держави, принцепс («перший») вважався лише першим громадянином республіки. У період домінату сенат перетворюється на орган з декоративними функціями. Основним титулом глави держави замість «принцепс» (перший громадянин) і «імператор» (спочатку почесний титул воєначальників) стає  «август» («священний») і «домінус» («пан»,  малося на увазі, що всі інші є його рабами).

Засновником системи домінату звичайно вважається імператор Діоклетіан. Він встановив при своєму дворі звичаї, запозичені зі Сходу. Основним центром влади став бюрократичний апарат, орієнтований на особистість — Домінус. Комітет, який відав збором податків, при цьому називався комітетом «священних (тобто імператорських) щедрот» (). Імператор приймав закони імперії, призначав чиновників усіх рівнів та багатьох офіцерів армії, аж до прийняття християнства імперією, носив титул голови колегії понтифіків.

Made in the USA: The Question of Puerto Rican Secession
By Gretel Kahn	 On Nov 16, 2017
https://flic.kr/p/5XMHx2
On June 2017, Puerto Rico voted in a historic referendum for statehood within the United States. An overwhelming 97 per cent of the votes were cast in favour of becoming the 51st state. However, only 23 per cent of the voting population participated, the lowest turnout ever in a status referendum for the island. In every status referendum, Puerto Ricans have the choice to redefine their relationship with the United States. They can choose to either cease being a commonwealth of the United States, thus becoming a state, or opt for a sovereign free association. Alternatively, Puerto Ricans could favour becoming an independent country. Consistently, islanders have voted heavily to remain subjects of Washington. Nevertheless, the recent disparity in results is indicative of a desire to have more benefits, representation, and financial help from the federal government. With the vote last June, Puerto Ricans clearly expressed their yearning for desire closer ties with the American nation–as a fully integrated state.
Destruction of Hurricane Maria. https://flic.kr/p/YYCjhX
This past month, however, the situation on the island changed dramatically. Irma and Maria, hurricane after hurricane, left Puerto Rico devastated. The tropical storms have destroyed much of the island's infrastructure, and have prevented access to fresh water, electricity and food. Yet, the response of the federal government has been mute. The island remains in the midst of a humanitarian crisis despite the White House's statements indicating recovery. Moreover, a growing sense of abandonment by Washington has become further palpable as the death toll reaches hundreds of people.

The current status of Puerto Rico is similar to that of Wisconsin, Arkansas or any other American state with the difference that it has fiscal autonomy. However, unlike residents in Wisconsin or Arkansas, Puerto Ricans' congressional representation cannot vote on the House floor in Washington, nor do they have a say in presidential elections. This condition allows the United States government to have free political intervention on the island and throughout the years, it has installed numerous military bases. Secessionist movements such as the Autonomy for Puerto Rico, the National Revolutionary Movement, and the Puerto Rican Independence Party criticize America's criticize the continuing treatment of the island as a colony. As the federal government ignores Puerto Rico's vote for statehood as an American state and its cries for help in the current humanitarian crisis remain unheeded, the population may be swayed to vote in favour of a different status in the next referendum: one that allows for independence.
The independence movement in Puerto Rico has frankly been an unpopular one. Historically, Puerto Ricans have consistently leaned toward remaining a commonwealth of the United States. In the 2012 referendum, however, this streak was disrupted when the majority of voters rejected the commonwealth status and voted for statehood. An economic downturn stemming from 2008 was likely the deciding factor that contributed to the support of statehood, as the current arrangement was not creating enough jobs. Additionally, as more and more Puerto Ricans live in mainland United States–58 per cent to be exact– strengthening the ties between the territories will make even greater sense for Puerto Ricans. The vote, however, was non-binding which meant that Puerto Rico needs the approval of Congress to become the 51st state. The same trend followed with this year's referendum– with no tangible results from Congress.
Several secessionist groups exist on the island. One group, the Autonomy for Puerto Rico Association, boasts about its 300 000 members and argues for reunification with the Spanish motherland. Another group, the Reunification of Puerto Rico with Spain, promotes the same ideals adding that the island would receive more political rights with Spain. While this option seems far-fetched, support for independence is an issue to take seriously, especially in the midst of a humanitarian crisis that is being ignored by the United States. The group Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario takes a different approach to independence. In its manifesto, it argues that the colonialist policies of the United States have facilitated the economic crisis Puerto Rico is embroiled in today. It goes a step further by pushing for independence against "Yankee imperialism" in order to stop the exploitation of the Island. Puerto Rico currently stands on a debt of $74 billion which is only expected to further grow as a result of damage incurred from the hurricanes. It is estimated that the cost of the damage may be around $40 billion in lost economic output and $50 billion in property damage. The response of the Fiscal Control Board has been to allocate only $1 billion when it is clear that Puerto Rico will need so much more to get back on track. Puerto Rico's debt position is clearly unsustainable and it can only recover with a fresh start.
While the humanitarian crisis was propelled by forces of nature, the United States has a history of ignoring Puerto Rico's financial problems. Last year, Congress passed the ironically named Promesa Law (Promise Law) which was supposed to resolve the debt crisis mentioned above and put Puerto Rico's economy back on track. The results, however, further aggravated the island's ability to provide for its citizens. Prior to even contending with the impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, Puerto Rico was forced to cut funding to public services and already roughly 46 per cent of the population live below the poverty line. After the hurricanes, the lack of public services was felt further profoundly.
When hurricanes Harvey and Irma hit Texas and Florida, President Trump immediately granted hurricane relief waivers to those states. In contrast, it took President Trump eight days to grant a temporary waiver to the island after facing public outrage. Furthermore, it took six days for the administration to send USNS Comfort hospital ship, arriving thirteen days after the hurricane hit the island. In contrast, with Hurricane Katrina and Rita, the Comfort arrived immediately to the affected areas in mainland US. It is clear that Washington is not showing the same standards of relief to its Puerto Rican citizens as to its citizens in the mainland. This feeling of neglect from the American government could very well lead to another status referendum in the future to the secessionists' advantage. One need not look further than Spain to observe the effects brought about by legacies of unequal political relationships between subject and administrator. In Catalunya, an independence movement was brought to power due to an economic crisis, cultural differences and a history of grievances owing to ill-treatment by the Spanish government. All are factors which are in line with the current Puerto Rican situation.
The waves of secession might not only be rising in Catalonia. With its humanitarian crisis left unabated by the current U.S. administration, Puerto Ricans might eventually reach a point of exasperation. As mentioned previously, only 23 per cent of the voting population cast a ballot. Presumably, only those in favour of statehood bothered to show up to the polls after opposition parties called for a boycott of what they called a "rigged Congress". The Puerto Rican Independence Party called the vote a "farce". This dissatisfaction stems from the fact that, ultimately, the decision to approve a new prospective state rests with Congress. Nevertheless, despite Puerto Rico's long history of voting for statehood, Congress has consistently turned a deaf ear. The meagre turnout and wide-ranging boycott show a clear resentment of the unequal relationship between the two territories. As more time goes by without marked improvement in the Island's recovery from the wreckage left by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, citizens' dissatisfaction may peak to new heights. And with that, Puerto Rican independence movements may find their silver lining as future status referendums begin breaking the pattern of support for statehood in favour of independence.

Copper is often forgotten when it comes to checking mineral levels. After all, do we really need copper for our good health? Researchers at the University of North Dakota would argue that, in fact, copper is very important for maintaining health.
The researchers state that copper has been known to be essential for health for more than three-quarters of a century. Myriad experiments with animals reveal that the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and nervous systems are most sensitive to deficiency. Copper in the Western diet has been decreasing at least since the 1930s; in fact, at least one-fourth of adults consume less than the estimated average requirement published for the United States and Canada.
The research team reviewed clinical trials involving copper supplementation. They found that almost 1,000 people have benefited from supplements containing copper in controlled trials. In addition, people deficient in copper are being identified increasingly. They conclude by stating that Alzheimer's disease, ischemic heart disease, and osteoporosis are the most likely human illnesses caused by low copper intake.
Besides these copper-rich foods, you can supplement with the mineral. Keep in mind you shouldn't take above the amount suggested below. While the exact level at which copper causes problems isn't quite known, some say 10 milligrams can cause nausea and 60 mg vomiting. If taking zinc, copper is safe at up to three mg a day.
Drinking tap water that flows through pipes made of copper? You may already be getting your requirements, or even more so. Consult your doctor before taking any supplements. The important thing to remember with copper is to avoid deficiency, but not to take too much of the mineral either.
To find out about another mineral that many North Americans are deficient in, read Boost Your Immune System with Zinc.

If you are a frequent traveler or even just an idler, constantly staying in one particular spot, emergencies and dire scenarios can always be there hovering above your head like a black cloud waiting for a golden chance to strike you down with a million volts of lightning and leave you wounded and wasted, that is, if you are lucky to get out of it alive. Find out how to reduced your premiums and examine the market place to uncover the ideal holiday insurance coverage quotes. Men and women would also be in a position to acquire a yearly insurance protection plan rather of getting individual plans for every single trip that you are taking. Benefits for yearly insurance coverage policies have particular conditions for medical evacuations, loss of physique components, loss of life and coverage for health-related treatments for injuries or illness.
In 2010, in the USA, the average expense for a hospital stay was $14,662 while the average cost for an emergency space pay a visit to was $1,327. We strive to aid all our buyers find the best deal on their travel insurance. If you have a situation such as high blood pressure, the risk of possessing a health-related emergency associated to this is higher than usual, so disclosing all of your situations implies that you are going to be covered for any healthcare emergencies when you are travelling. I did a little study and I'm becoming told that the only plans that are 'creditable' are group overall health (major healthcare) plans.
This usually adds up to a few dollars per day, so it is a quite economical way to get emergency medical coverage abroad. A handful of years ago, I set up and now run Tour1, which takes riders on Harley-Davidson Authorised tours across Europe. Also, while we will be capable to give a more appropriate quote if your health-related condition has been fully diagnosed and declared, we can still contemplate you for cover if you are awaiting test final results. Emergency medical evacuations will get you out of a remote location and transported to a place where you can receive appropriate medical care. Most travel healthcare specialists seek the assistance of a travel healthcare agency.
Under you will see two top leaders in the travel insurance market for your consideration, Travelex and Travel Guard. So the way we describe or show travel insurance coverage is usually primarily based on its benefits to you – such as how considerably it fees or what is covered – by no means what is best for a travel insurance business. Bill, My initial travel assignment was in one of these remote places you spoke of. Western Montana will often have a special spot in my mind. I go across the USA border typically so I purchased a policy for limitless trips of 10 day durations. Travelex is one particular of the leaders in the United States in the travel insurance coverage business.

From the apartment all the major attractions are within easy walking distance. The private courtyard provides a tranquil base to return to at the end of a busy day.
Had a great stay at the Wee Thistle. Apartment has every thing you could need, was spotless and in the best location for exploring Edinburgh. Will definitely be staying again. Thanks Gavin, great host!
What a great little home from home. Equipped with everything we could possibly need, comfortable beds and lovely welcome of wine and shortbread. Been to the fringe many times over the past 45 years. This was the best!
This is a great apartment in a perfect location for exploring Edinburgh and attending festival events. Loved it. The apartment was clean and well equipped, and the beds were super comfortable. Communication was excellent and the instructions for arrival were detailed and easy to follow. Gavin went over and above too, by hand delivering some trousers my brother-in-law left behind. Will happily book again and/or recommend.
Gavin and his dad are great hosts!! They were very helpful and friendly. Super prompt to help out which makes our stay a wonderful one!! Plus, prime location gives access to all tourist sites in and around the City Centre!
Gavin's place is perfect - right smack in the middle of Edinburgh, extremely cosy, clean and well equipped, and possibly has one of the comfiest beds ever. Gavin is also extremely proactive, kind, and fast in his response. I was running late to check out due to delays at the car rental place, and he was ever so understanding. I cannot recommend Gavin's place enough, and I will certainly return if I ever find myself back in Edinburgh. Thank you for making the start of our holiday so pleasant!
A completely fabulous place to stay in the heart of old town Edinburgh! Clean and new and highly recommended. So close to so many must see sites and things to do! You should definitely stay here!
If you are looking for a place in Edinburgh, this is THE place where to stay. Great location, flat super clean, comfortable, extremely well equipped: you even have special tweezers to take the toast out of the toaster! :) . Fantastic, prompt and easy communication with Gavin who is always happy to help. Simply perfect and impossible to beat.
This flat was everything we hoped and dreamed for. The location was perfect, it is decorated beautifully and it is so accommodating! Gavin is very easy to communicate with and the flat is spectacular. If I ever find myself in Edinburgh again, I would stay there in a heartbeat.
Fantastic apartment in the heart of Edinburgh. We had everything that we needed in the apartment, was very comfy and cosy and felt like home for the week. Particularly liked the wine and box of biccys, these went down a treat after a long days walking and travelling. The apartment was so clean and perfect.
Very enjoyable stay at the Wee Thistle. Great central location and everything you could need provided in the apartment. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an Edinburgh getaway.
Great place, super easy check in, immaculately clean, fun location. The only problem was we didn't stay long enough!
Alex made us feel very welcome and the apartment was very clean with a fabulous location. My parents had the bedroom and we slept on the sofa bed which was very comfortable in the lounge. We did the park and ride which I would recommend as there is little parking in Edinburgh especially during the Fringe. Thank you Alex.
A lovely and comfortable place to stay in a great location.
Very nice flat close to the centre. All worked and was quite easy. Will definitely recommend.
loved this place, everything was perfect! Very clean and super comfy, the cocktail bar across the road from the building is a plus! Definitely coming back, thank you Alex!
Lovely flat big enough for a couple. fantastic position. it was fantastic to have a view of Edinburgh castle as you enter the block. very clean. thoughtfully kitted. we would definitely stay here again.
We stayed five nights at 'The Wee Thistle' and had a wonderful time. We loved the location and the apartment had everything we needed. Alex was very helpful getting us into the apartment, she contacted us several times in the days before our arrival, giving us detailed directions on how to find the apartment and park for it (which was a little tricky because of the fringe festival). The location of the apartment is the best thing - it's very near to Grassmarket and the Royal Mile and has a ton of restaurants and neat shops nearby. The apartment is very clean and well organized, and Alex provided some nice welcome gifts to help us get settled. It is a little cozy compared to some of the other places we have stayed throughout Scotland, but it's very liveable.
The house is exactly the same as described! So nice and cosy, with a great location as well! Alex is so welcome as well! nice experience!!


In an age when we expect equal treatment of men and women, the #MeToo movement has torn the façade to reveal that we are not there yet.
We go about our daily routines, carry out our mundane activities and as we are checking off items on our to-do list, we probably don't give enough thought to the empowerment of women, the protection of children, and the well-being of human kind in general. It seems like every other day, we are jolted out of our illusory existence, when we hear about assaults on women around the world. Even in the 21st century, the Devadasi practice allows young women and children to be exploited in the guise of religion.
A Times of India news report (April 10, 2007) threw light on the results of a government commissioned survey. I was stunned when I read that the survey had found that 53% of children in India were subjected to sexual abuse.
The safety of young children too is frightfully low. We may think our fears are exaggerated but, disturbing statistics indicate that the incidence of sexual abuse is fairly high. According to information in www.victimsofcrime.org, one in five girls and one in twenty boys are victims of this terrible crime. Shockingly, the abuse is perpetrated by someone the child knows. A Times of India news report (April 10, 2007) threw light on the results of a government commissioned survey. I was stunned when I read that the survey had found that 53% of children in India were subjected to sexual abuse. One out of two! I hope that in the past 10 years, things have improved. It takes not just a village, but an entire society to recognize this danger and take steps to prevent abuse. Supporting or ignoring practices that exploit young women and children or put them in danger, is tantamount to rupturing the foundation of society which will lead to its eventual collapse.
We are racing ahead in the field of technology yet, we don't seem to have made much progress in the area of protecting and respecting the rights of women. In an age when we expect equal treatment of men and women, the #MeToo movement has torn the façade to reveal that we are not there yet. The problem seems to cut across socio-economic groups, professions and cultures. As a woman, that fills me with anger and sadness. What gives me hope however, is that there are individuals and organizations that are working tirelessly to increase awareness, help the victims overcome the past and move forward.
I was curious about what would help a person heal, after they have been through the trauma of sexual abuse or have been in caught in an abusive situation for a long time. Do they aspire to break free or do they start believing that they are helpless? I had the privilege of speaking to Allison Green, who has a Master's degree in Social Work and has extensive experience in helping individuals with a history of sexual abuse and she explained that the experience of abuse affects every aspect of the victim's life. It is important to give them the right support. Victims often blame themselves and managing feelings of shame and guilt is a huge piece. The key factor in moving forward is having their feelings and experiences validated. In the absence of an alternate, safe space, outside the abusive environment, they could turn towards gambling, alcoholism etc. Seeking professional therapy to deal with related issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and relationship difficulties is essential.
Often, victims do not share the torment they are going through out of fear and the gnawing thought that they will not be believed. Breaking the secret, according to Allison, is extremely important as it strips the abuser of the power to control the abused. Similarly, keeping the Devadasi practice under wraps stigmatizes the women trapped in it as it denies their plight. It also gives power to those exploiting the situation. There is an urgent and critical reason to give the Devadasis hope and an alternative. An opportunity to educate them and earn a living independently will be a step towards breaking free from the economic reasons that hold them back. Yes She Rises has a planned effort to help Devadasi mothers to unite and to empower themselves by providing language skills and vocational training. It stems from the belief that regardless of caste or class, a girl has a right to a safe and a happy life. The right to education and a safe future applies to everyone.

Boxes with documents detailing confidential patient information, such as Social Security numbers and personal medical history, were found discarded next to a medical office building, which officials said could be a violation of patient confidentiality laws.
The documents, which were retrieved by a doctor about 90 minutes after they were discovered, could have exposed patients to identity theft and could be a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which governs patients' privacy laws and addresses procedures for discarding medical records.
Sheriff's officials were called about the discovery of the files at 5:04 p.m. on Nov. 26. The caller described boxes of private medical records that were found in a trash bin in the rear of a medical building at 24953 Paseo de Valencia. The documents included private information including Social Security numbers and patient medical histories, said Lt. Ted Boyne of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
    </android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

    </RelativeLayout>

But the output isn't what I'm expecting, I'd like to get a Toolbar like this, but it shows like this.
And when I launch the application it appears a ToolbatTitle that I think it's the name of the APP how do I quit this and use the TextView one?

A: Take a look at the official design guidelines. You should not have icons to the left of the title other than the up action.
Instead of inserting the ImageView's into the activity's xml create an xml menu resource and implement it by overriding onCreateOptionsMenu() in your activity:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_resource_you_created, menu);
    return true;
}

Take a look at this and more specifically this for more info.

EDIT: If you really want to do this regardless of the guidelines I would probably just put a LinearLayout or similar in the xml, make sure it's at the top of the parent and set these attributes:
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"

Again, I do not recommend this nor can I guarantee it as a legitimate workaround, but I'm pretty sure it's what you're looking for.

What are New Umbrella Entities? Why are Tata to Reliance Interested in it?
Written by Cherian Varghese Posted on April 3, 2021 April 3, 2021 Less than 0 min read
As India moves towards building an extensive digital society, there is a requirement for multiple players to be involved. The RBI has run many experiments in the digital payments space in India, including licensing exclusive payments banks and setting up white-label ATMs. They have now come up with a new concept— New Umbrella Entities, which is set to revolutionise the payments industry. A large number of companies have reportedly applied for New Umbrella Entity licenses for payment systems. Let us have an understanding of what NUEs are.
The Current Scenario
You may be familiar with payment or settlement systems such as the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS), RuPay, FASTag, etc. These are all managed and operated by an umbrella entity known as the National Payments Corporation of India or NPCI. It is a non-profit entity that is promoted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The NPCI is owned and managed by a consortium of major banks, including State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, and many more.
Recently, many prominent players in the payments space have indicated the various disadvantages or challenges faced by NPCI. It is now the only entity that manages all of the retail payment systems in our country. As more citizens are using online payment platforms, the volume of transactions conducted every day has risen exponentially. In February 2021, the NPCI admitted that they were facing structural and technical issues. According to reports, investors could not get mutual fund (MF) units they purchased on time due to a problem in the settlement system operated by the NPCI.
The RBI has now envisioned a plan to allow more private players to set up umbrella entities for payments systems. This would promote competition and lead to further development of the payments landscape and network in India.
What are New Umbrella Entities?
New Umbrella Entities (NUEs) will be a non-profit entity that will set-up, manage, and operate new payment systems such as ATMs and white-label Point-of-Sale (POS) systems. It also includes Aadhaar-based payments and remittance services. NUEs will develop the standards and technologies for these payment systems. They will operate clearing and settlement systems, identify and preserve the integrity of the system. These entities will also manage relevant risks such as settlement, credit, liquidity, and operational risks.
NUEs will monitor retail payment system developments and related issues in India and internationally. This is to avoid shocks, fraudulent activities, and cyber threats that may adversely affect the financial systems and our economy as a whole.
Framework Related to NUEs
As per RBI guidelines, only those entities that are owned and controlled by Indian citizens (residents) can become promoters of NUEs. They should have at least 3 years of experience in the payments ecosystem.
The umbrella entity should have a minimum paid-up capital of Rs 500 crore.
The shareholding pattern should be diversified. Any entity holding more than 25% of the paid-up capital of an NUE will be deemed as a promoter.
No single promoter or promoter group should have more than 40% investment in the capital of the NUE.
A minimum net worth of Rs 300 crore should be maintained at all times.
An NUE should conform to the norms or regulations of corporate governance. The RBI retains the right to approve the appointment of directors and members of the board of an NUE.
Foreign investment is allowed in NUEs as long as they comply with the existing government guidelines.
The RBI had set a deadline of March 31, 2021, for firms to submit their applications for setting up New Umbrella Entities. As per reports, several Indian companies have tied up with major banks and tech companies to apply for NUEs. Reliance Industries, which has partnered with tech giants Facebook and Google, were planning to apply as a consortium. Other reports suggest that the Tata Group has partnered with HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, MasterCard, and Bharti Airtel. E-commerce platform Amazon.com, Inc. has tied up with Visa, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, as well as fin-tech startups Bill Desk and PineLabs to obtain the NUE license. Also, Paytm and Ola have also reportedly joined hands to apply for the NUE.
The primary aim of players that are planning to establish NUEs is to obtain a bigger share in India's digital payments sector. According to RedSeer Consulting, the digital payments industry in India is expected to grow over three-fold to Rs 7,092 lakh crore by 2025. There is no doubt that more companies would want to obtain a piece of this highly promising market. Let us look forward to seeing which of these firms gets selected by RBI to launch NUEs, and how they disrupt or revolutionise the payments space.
