Tetris Plus (テトリスプラス, Tetorisu Purasu?) is a computer puzzle game published by Jaleco and developed by Natsume for arcades exclusively in Japan in 1990, and later ported for the Game Boy, Sega Saturn, and PlayStation in 1996. The game would be followed up with Tetris Plus 2 in 1997.
2 Puzzle Mode
2.1 The Professor
2.2 The Ceiling
3 Sequel
The game consists of two main modes, Classic Mode and Puzzle Mode. Classic Mode functions like the original Tetris game for the Game Boy except with different music and visuals. However, because the cartridge has battery-powered SRAM, it also has the ability to remember your high-scores, unlike the original Game Boy game. Puzzle Mode is a twist on the classic gameplay that provides a new scenario. Also included is an editor for making Puzzle levels, and Link capability for going head-to-head with another player in either game mode. The Console Versions also have a two player Versus Mode which is essentially puzzle mode with two players racing for the finish line.
Puzzle Mode[edit | edit source]
The biggest addition to Tetris Plus is the Puzzle Mode. The player starts by choosing any of four world locations: Maya, Knossos, Egypt, or Angkor Wat. Each of the four locations has a different level set. Once the game starts, the player is presented with a cluster of pre-placed bricks, and the professor enters the play-area through a disappearing gate. The objective is to get the professor to the bottom of the screen, by placing blocks and clearing lines, before the spiked ceiling at the top comes down and crushes him.
The Professor[edit | edit source]
Your goal is to guide this archaeologist to the bottom as fast as possible. Two blocks wide and tall, he will aimlessly walk forward until he bumps into a block, after which he turns around and walks the other way. If he comes across a gap that is large enough for him to fit through, he will fall down onto the blocks below him. Conversely, if blocks are placed on top of him, he will climb up them until he reaches the top. As one could guess, if these blocks lead too closely to the spikes, the professor will die.
The Ceiling[edit | edit source]
Upon starting the level, the spiked ceiling will start at the top of the play-area. About once every eighteen seconds, it will move down one row, slowly taking away workable space. The player is able to make the ceiling go back up, however, if they can clear three or four rows at once. The ceiling will also destroy any placed blocks that are in its way. This can be used as a garbage disposal, by having it remove any unwanted pieces until the piece the player wants shows up.
Sequel[edit | edit source]
Tetris Plus 2 (テトリスプラス2, Tetorisu Purasu Tzū?) is an arcade game, developed by The Tetris Company and released by Jaleco in 1997.[1] It was the only sequel to Tetris Plus.

CAIRO - A member of Egypt's ruling Muslim Brotherhood was shot dead in an attack on the group's office in the Nile Delta town of Zakazik yesterday, a day before the start of a wave of opposition protests.
CAIRO �A member of Egypt�s ruling Muslim Brotherhood was shot dead in an attack on the group�s office in the Nile Delta town of Zakazik yesterday, a day before the start of a wave of opposition protests.
The news was carried by the official website of the Brotherhood�s Freedom and Justice Party, which blamed an opposition youth group and people loyal to ousted president Hosni Mubarak for the attack.
Egypt faces a showdown in the streets after President Mohamed Morsi failed, in an address to the nation, to satisfy the demands of opponents who want to force him from office.
Morsi�s Muslim Brotherhood and their allies will gather in Cairo today, as will some opposition groups. On Sunday, the opposition hopes that millions will heed the call, a year to the day since Morsi became Egypt�s first freely elected leader.

Employees at the end of the roll fall on the battlefield
magictr | April 24, 2020 | News | No Comments
Trade unions and mental health professionals fear that a wave of distress occurs in the nursing staff, and warned that it may have effects also pests that a second wave of the sars coronavirus.
"There are already leaving the boat because they are no longer able, this is a really fear for the result," said Frederick Brisson, president of the provincial Council of social affairs of the canadian Union of public employees (CUPE), which represents in particular the orderlies.
The bell sound is the same to the Federation interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec (FIQ), where the calls for help of the nurses are generalized for the last few weeks, a volume of " never seen ", says one.
"And it's still there. It is even more worried about the picture post-crisis, it's going to fall in battle, " says Linda Lapointe, vice-president of the FIQ.
The death of a woman last week has caused a wave of shock that exacerbated the distress of its members, " says Frédéric Brisson.
"That's going to leave traces "
In addition to working with the fear of contracting the virus and infecting patients, the attendants are witnesses of the daily horror.
"We were trained called to care for patients as if it was our own parents, but when we see elderly people hungry, thirsty, in a terrible state, it is certain that it will leave traces psychologically ", is afraid of Mr. Brisson.
He asked the ministry of Health to do more on the psychological level.
"The managers do not think of the human, they see a column of numbers and hours to complete currently. […] They have completely forgotten the psychological support ", he says.
In the office of the minister of Health, Danielle McCann, we limit ourselves to say that it is "actively working" on the folder.
However, experts insist on the urgency of prevention in mental health before we " hit a wall ".
The neuropsychologist Chantal Trottier says it is concerned for the health network, fully supported on its "guardian angels" that we can't afford to lose in the current context.
"There is a groundswell of requests for assistance to provide. When the pressure goes down, the problems of depression, mental health will happen, " believes the expert, recalling that the staff, although trained, is not accustomed to such horrors.
Post-traumatic shock
The Federation of professional attendant(s)to the beneficiaries of the Québec (FPBQ) draws the parallel with a deployment to the front in time of war that it is necessary to avoid prolonging.
"The adrenaline in the short term, it sharpens the senses, but in the long-term exposure to a stress high, and events such as those that we live can lead to a post-traumatic shock," insists Michel Lemelin, director general of the organization, which calls on the government to give enough of time of respite to employees.
Of CIUSSS organize themselves to help their world
In the absence of having a clear plan of action of the department for the psychological health of employees who face the COVID-19, some CIUSSS have taken things in hand, like the one in the West Island of Montréal, which has mobilized 150 professionals to help its troops.
The project was set on foot by Dr. Gustavo Turecki, head of psychiatry at the CIUSSS of the West-of-the-Island-of-Montreal. The death of a woman at this place last week was the trigger.
"You feel the pressure mounting, it was necessary to help people to be able to continue to do their job," says the doctor.
One hundred and fifty workers specializing in mental health, psychologists, physicians, social workers, rotating through their usual tasks.
They will listen to the health personnel who have need, by phone or virtually.
The initiative will help to complete the " long marathon ", believes the expert.
"Mental health is often overlooked, but here, it is the time to be aware that it is essential to ensure that our people continue to be in that position in the future," insists Dr. Turecki.
Listening line
On the side of the CIUSSS of the Capital–National, this is a crisis line that has been put in place to support staff. Between 24 march and 20 April, nearly 100 calls that have been recorded.
"We have four psychosocial workers in responding to the calls and the support line will be maintained for the whole of the crisis ", explains Marie-Bhavani Olivier, assistant to the executive director of multi-disciplinary services of the CIUSSS, ensuring that a follow up will also be offered after the crisis. "This will actually be another phase in the psycho-social level. "
Attuned to the needs
The CIUSSS also remains on the lookout for needs that would declare during the crisis. The organization says it is open to revising its offer, if necessary.
"It responds according to how it all unfolds. All of the measures currently in place seems to be a good answer, but it must be flexible in there, " says Ms. Olivier, who added that the usual programs of assistance to employees are obviously still in place.

Iran's Zarif says nuclear deal 'will never be renegotiated,' rules out new talks
Tehran's top diplomat says if US wants to reenter the 2015 accord, it must do so without any preconditions; Netanyahu warns US return to JCPOA would be 'a mistake'

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Thursday his country won't agree to renegotiate elements of the international accord limiting its nuclear program, as US President-elect Joe Biden says he'll reenter the deal if Tehran returns to full compliance.
"It will never be renegotiated. Period," Zarif told a conference in Italy, speaking remotely.
He said Iran won't agree to any curbs on its missile program or backing of regional proxies unless Western countries stop their "malign behavior" in the Middle East.
"As long as they're not able to put up, they have to shut up," Zarif said.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down on his stance that Biden's plan to re-enter the nuclear deal would be misguided.
"It's a mistake to go back to the JCPOA. You shouldn't go back to that flawed agreement," he said in a televised interview with the DC-based Hudson Institute's Michael Doran.

Netanyahu said the deal is what gave Iran the funds to establish itself in Syria and Iraq as well as fund proxies around the region.
Asked by Doran whether he was worried of the US pulling out of the Middle East with recently announced troop withdrawals, the premier responded: "Yes of course. I think it would be a great misfortune for us but also for the United States. For us and our newfound Arab allies. We have peace breaking out now and I think the United States has a vested interest to expand that peace."
Zarif urged Biden to abandon Washington's "rogue" behavior and lift crippling sanctions on his country, rejecting talk of renegotiating the 2015 nuclear deal.
He said that when President Donald Trump left the landmark agreement, the United States had breached a UN Security Council resolution endorsing it.
"The US has been in grave breach of that resolution because the Trump administration has been a rogue regime," Zarif said in an online interview held as part of the Mediterranean Dialogues event.
"Now if President-elect Biden wants to continue to be a rogue regime, then he can continue to be asking for negotiations to implement its commitments," he added. "The United States must stop, the United States must cease its violations of international law. It doesn't require any negotiations."

Decades-old US-Iranian tensions escalated after Trump unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear agreement in 2018 and reimposed, then toughened, sanctions that have hammered Iran's economy.
Biden has signaled he will return the US to the deal, which offered Tehran relief from international sanctions in exchange for guarantees, verified by the United Nations, that its nuclear program has no military aims.
Outgoing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued veiled criticism of Biden as he marked the 84th birthday of Iranian-American Mohammad Bagher Namazi, who along with his businessman son and at least one other US citizen remains in prison on vague security charges.
"There should be no deals with Iran until these men are released," Pompeo wrote on Twitter.
Biden told The New York Times this week that if Iran returned to compliance, the US would rejoin, after which he would seek to tighten Iran's nuclear constraints and address concerns about both its missile program and Iran's support for militants in the region.
But Zarif said: "We will not renegotiate a deal which we negotiated."
And he added that Western powers should look to their own behavior before criticizing Iran.
"Last year the West sold to the Persian Gulf more weapons than it sold to any other part of the world. Over $100 billion worth of weapons were sold to this region. Is the West ready to stop this malign behavior?" Zarif said.

He also complained over what he characterized as a lack of European outrage at the assassination of one of Iran's leading nuclear scientists, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, outside Tehran last week — an attack that Tehran has blamed on Israel.
"When they (the West) are ready to deal with those problems of their own malign behavior in the region… then they can start talking about other things," he said.
On Wednesday a key Iranian panel signed off on a bill to suspend UN inspections and boost uranium enrichment, sending it to Iran's President Hassan Rouhani, who opposes the measure.
Iranian state TV says the constitutional watchdog, the Guardian Council, approved the bill and formally sent it to Rouhani who now has five working days to officially sign off on a bill to make it executable.
Rouhani expressed his opposition to the bill approved by parliament the previous day, saying it would be "harmful" to diplomatic efforts aimed at restoring the 2015 nuclear deal and easing US sanctions.
Tuesday's approval by lawmakers appeared to be a show of defiance after Fakhrizadeh, a key figure in Iran's nuclear program, was killed.
Fakhrizadeh headed a program that Israel and the West have alleged was a military operation looking at the feasibility of building a nuclear weapon. The International Atomic Energy Agency says that the "structured program" ended in 2003, while Israel says Iran is still aiming to develop nuclear weapons, pointing to its work on ballistic missiles and other technologies.
The US imposed crippling sanctions on Iran after President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear agreement in 2018. In response, Iran began publicly exceeding enrichment limits set by the agreement while saying it would quickly return to compliance if the United States did the same.
Rouhani, one of the architects of the 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers, favors a return to the deal and greater diplomatic engagement with the US and other Western nations.

Q: How to effectively save & restore data from the last three months and delete the old data? I am using PostgreSQL. I need to delete all transaction data from database (except the last three month transaction data) then restore the data to new database with created/updated timestamp updated to now timestamp. Also the data more from last three months must be recaped into one data (example all invoice from party A must be grouped into one invoice with party A). Other rules is if the data is still foreign keys referenced for the last three month data.The data must not be deleted and only change the created/updated timestamp to now timestamp.
I am not good in SQL query so for now I am using this strategy:

*

*First create the recap data (save in other temporary table) before delete (All data).

*Then delete all data except the last three months.

*Next create the recap data after delete.

*Create the recap data from (All data - After delete data) so i get the recap data with nominal exactly same with data before the last three month.

*Then insert the recap data to table. So the old data is clean + have recap data in the database.

So my strategy is only using same database and not create new database because process importing data using the program is very slow (because have 900++ tables).
But the client doesn't want use this strategy because he want the data is created in new database and tell me to using other way. So the question is: What is the real and correct procedure to clean database from some dates (filter with date) and recap the old data?

A: First of all, there is no way to find out when a row was added to a table unless you track it with a timestamp column.
That's the first change you'll have to make – add a timestamp column to all relevant columns that tracks when the row was created (or updated, depending on the requirement).
Then you have two choices:

*

*Partition the tables by the timestamp column so that you have (for example) one partition per month.
Advantage: it is easy to get rid of old data: just drop the partition.
Disadvantage: Partitioning is tricky in PostgreSQL. It will become somewhat easier to handle in PostgreSQL v10, but the underlying problems remain.

*Use mass DELETEs to get rid of old rows. That's easy to implement, but mass deletes really hurt (table and index bloat which might necessitate VACUUM (FULL) or REINDEX which impair availability).

CAR T-Cell Immunotherapy Named Advance of the Year in Annual ASCO Report
Cancer Progress Report Highlights Life-Saving Potential of Immunotherapy, Critical Role of Federal Funding
Ashley Yum
ashley.yum@asco.org
ALEXANDRIA, VA — A new and unique new way to treat cancer – CAR T-cell therapy – is poised to transform the outlook for children and adults with certain otherwise incurable cancers. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) named this type of adoptive cell immunotherapy the Advance of the Year in its annual report. Released today in advance of World Cancer Day, Clinical Cancer Advances 2018 highlights the most impactful clinical cancer research and policy developments over the past year.
CAR T-cell therapy is a treatment that uses a patient's own white blood cells, which have been genetically reprogrammed in the lab to fight their own cancer. In 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved two CAR T-cell therapies, to treat children and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Researchers are also pursuing this approach in other types of cancer with promising results, especially in multiple myeloma.
The emergence of CAR T-cell therapy is the payoff for decades of investment by the National Institutes of Health, academic medical centers, and the pharma/biotech industry in the basic sciences of immunology, cancer biology, and genetics.
"It is remarkable to see these decades of effort come together to create this whole new type of treatment, as well as other precision medicine approaches that offer hope to people with advanced cancer," said ASCO President Bruce E. Johnson, MD, FASCO. "While we still have work to do to make these treatments accessible to patients everywhere and more tolerable, the successes of CAR T-cell therapy demonstrate the profound impact new treatments could make to markedly extend the lives of people with cancer."
New Analysis: Immunotherapy for Lung Cancer Could Save 250,000 Years of Life
Further treatment advances with immunotherapy are also transforming patient care. A new analysis from the ASCO report finds that a quarter million years of life could be saved with the use of currently approved immunotherapies for lung cancer in the United States.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors – a type of cancer immunotherapy that unleashes the body's immune response to fight its own cancer – have transformed care for people with advanced lung cancer. Since 2015, the FDA has approved three such medicines for lung cancer: nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and atezolizumab. In clinical trials with 3 to 5 years of follow-up, people with advanced lung cancer who received immune checkpoint inhibitors have lived longer, on average, than those who received chemotherapy, but the impact of immunotherapy on longer-term survival is not yet known.
To gain insight into the potential impact of immunotherapy on long-term survival, the ASCO Center for Research and Analytics (CENTRA) developed a statistical model that uses clinical trial data on 3- to 5-year survival in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors given as first-line or second-line therapy, as well as cancer incidence data. The model accounted for age and race distribution of U.S. patients with advanced NSCLC and their current life expectancy.
The model estimates that, if, each year, all 100,000 U.S. patients with advanced lung cancer for whom checkpoint inhibitors are currently indicated received the treatment, 250,000 years of life would be saved. In addition, one in four patients with newly diagnosed cancer and one in 10 with previously treated disease are expected to live substantially longer than if treated with traditional therapies, with some expected to live well beyond five years after treatment initiation.
Meanwhile, with standard chemotherapy less than 10% of patients are projected to live 4 years beyond diagnosis, and less than 1% would be alive at 10 years.
Trends in Progress Against Cancer
In addition to important gains in precision medicine approaches, Clinical Cancer Advances 2018 highlights broad trends demonstrating continued progress, including:
Growth in U.S. cancer survivors: Today, 15 million Americans – nearly one in 20 – are survivors of cancer, and experts estimate that there will be 26 million survivors in the U.S. by 2040.
Long-term survival increasing: About 64% of U.S. patients diagnosed with cancer in 2005 have lived 10 years beyond diagnosis, compared to 35% of those diagnosed in 1975.
Pace of cancer research accelerating: The number of medical journal articles with the word "cancer" in the title quadrupled in the last decade, from about 28,000 in 2007 to 120,000 in 2017.
More treatments available to patients: In the span of just one year, the FDA approved 18 new therapies and 13 new uses for more than 16 types of cancer. (During the same timeframe in the previous year, eight new cancer therapies and 13 new uses were approved.)
"When I stand back and look at the research progress documented in this report, I'm truly excited for our patients," said John Heymach, MD, PhD, co-executive editor of Clinical Cancer Advances. "If we want to keep up the pace, we need to continue investing in the broad spectrum of cancer research, from prevention and screening to treatment and survivorship."
Critical Impact of Federal Research Investment
According to the ASCO report, the breakthroughs of the past 50 years could not have been achieved without our nation's ongoing investment in cancer research. More than 25% of the top advances featured in the Clinical Cancer Advances 2018 report received funding support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal agencies. In fact, federal investment was critical to early research on CAR T-cell therapy, ASCO's Advance of the Year.
Continued progress against cancer requires dependable, robust federal support, and 91% of Americans agree that the U.S. government should dedicate substantial funding to diagnose, prevent, and treat cancer. Furthermore, nearly three in four Americans (73%) say the government should spend more to develop cancer treatments and cures, even if it means higher taxes or adding to the deficit, according to ASCO's 2017 National Cancer Opinion Survey.
Despite a boost in funding for NIH and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in fiscal year 2017, NCI's budget, when adjusted for inflation, remains below pre-recession levels. Flat funding makes it more difficult to recruit and retain young researchers to the field and translates into less innovation, fewer studies launched, and fewer discoveries.
"Americans are looking to Congress to continue to support investment in innovative cancer research," said Dr. Johnson. "Continued progress in developing transformative cancer treatments depends on it."
Clinical Cancer Advances, developed under the direction of a 20-person editorial board, is now in its 13th year of publication. The report is published online at asco.org/CCA and in the Journal of Clinical Oncology at ascopubs.org/journal/jco.

The Red Sox have the best record in baseball (who'd a thunk it?), the Bruins could knock the Leafs out of the playoffs tonight, and the greatest living soccer coach calls it quits.
Bill Littlefield, host of WBUR's Only A Game
Toronto Globe and Mail "When one line couldn't score, another would step up and fill the void, so much so that the lowest 10-game segment the Leafs had all year was the 25 goals they scored in the first 10 games of the year."
Boston Globe "Third baseman Will Middlebrooks caught it, but catcher David Ross slid into him, forcing his back to hit the wall. Ross left later in the fifth with a left thigh contusion and Middlebrooks was replaced by Ciriaco to start the seventh because of pain in his right side."
BBC "Ferguson praised the people he felt helped him build the club from a team that had not won a title for 26 years into one of the biggest in the world. "I must pay tribute to my family, their love and support has been essential," he added. "My wife, Cathy, has been the key figure throughout my career, providing a bedrock of both stability and encouragement. Words are not enough to express what this has meant to me."

With cyber-crime activity on the increase across the world, Australian businesses need to be scrutinising their business systems, technology assets and security posture and maturity, and look for ways to be on the front foot of mitigating any potential cyber-attack.
Titan ICT was recently engaged by a client, who has multiple business units that operate independent Operational Technology (OT) environments, to undertake an independent OT cyber risk profile.
The client, through its internal corporate IT and Security divisions, had completed OT security risk assessments across each of the OT business units. To delve deeper into their findings, the client opted for an engineering perspective and sought independent advice for the best approach to address the identified risks and make strategic security improvements within the OT realm.
As part of our charter, Titan ICT's Technology Risk team evaluated and amalgamated the client's data to produce an all-encompassing risk profile integrating each of the OT environments.
The development of a consolidated risk perspective for the companies entire OT environment which included work packages and/or sub categories for the risk.
Through the process, twenty or so risk scenarios were identified, generating over 110 recommendations for resolving the risks. These were grouped into work packages making for an effective, prioritised and systematic programme of work.
While the majority of the outcomes were technology-focused, Titan ICT's relational eco system assessed all factors across people, process and technology. As a result, many of the recommendations focused on, and aligned, people and process to maximise the company's existing technology assets.
Through effective collaboration with the corporate IT and OT teams, we were able to streamline multiple packages of work into one consolidated programme. This resulted in work packages that reduced business risks and the level of capital outlay required for the security improvement project.
Titan ICT was retained to provide expertise for the client's cyber remediation programme to minimise its exposure to emerging risks and become more cyber-resilient, and this was done through a unified approach which resulted in cost savings to the business.
Traditionally, cyber security within OT environments has not been a necessity for many organisations. However, with the convergence of IT/OT and the Internet of Things driving business improvement, cyber threat assessment has become a priority for many businesses, and rightly so.
Along with our Technology Risk advisory, Titan ICT also offers a Security Manager as a Service for businesses who do not have the inhouse resources or expertise to undertake a technology risk assessment of this calibre. Solutions can be tailored to your specific needs or choose from our cost-effective packages.

Software-defined networking (SDN) continues to gain ground within the broader enterprise and cloud service provider markets for datacenter networking. According to a new forecast from International Data Corporation (IDC), the worldwide SDN market for the enterprise and cloud service provider segments will grow from $960 million in 2014 to over $8 billion by 2018, representing a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 89.4%. This forecast for the SDN ecosystem includes in-use physical network infrastructure, controller and network-virtualization software, SDN network and security services and related applications, and SDN-related professional services.
IDC sees significant near-term use case opportunities for SDN in both cloud service provider rollouts and enterprise deployments. Although enterprises are largely still testing the waters to see what benefits will accrue from SDN, IDC sees the enterprise market as a major driver of overall SDN growth over the next several years. "The 2014 through 2016 period will be a significant launch point for SDN in the enterprise, with significant growth opportunities for both enterprise-focused SDN infrastructure and cloud service providers," said Brad Casemore, Research Director, Datacenter Networks.
The IDC study, SDN Momentum Builds in Datacenter and Enterprise Networks (IDC #250288), takes a closer look at the rapidly evolving SDN market and its associated ecosystem, while analyzing opportunities and challenges for datacenter and enterprise network managers.


Beginning in the school year of 2017 all middle school students were given Chromebooks to utilize for educational purposes. A One to One (1:1) Device Committe was formed in the fall of 2016 and is comprised of parents, teachers, and administrators. The task of this committe was to develop policies, procedures, and information regarding this inititive. Please click on the link below to learn more about the 1:1 device program at Skyline Middle School and Warren County Middle School.
WCHS and SHS will begin roll out of their 1:1 program in the fall of 2018 using Chromebooks. A committee of parents, students, teachers, and administrators are currently in the planning stages of this project. Please check back later to find out more details. Below are resouces that can help explain the details of the current and future programs.


Berlin-based design studio Graft Lab created a compact freestanding kitchen and bathroom in a loft in Hamburg. The walnut-panneled unit is equipped with a stove, sink, bath, toilet, dresser and bookshelf. Functioning as the heart of the apartment, the wooden structure was designed with flexibility in mind and features sliding walls as well as openings that allow for more daylight to enter in.


Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent. At about 30.3 million km² (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers six percent of Earth's total surface area and 20.4 percent of its total land area. With 1.3 billion people as of 2018, it accounts for about 16% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent includes Madagascar and various archipelagos. It contains 54 fully recognized sovereign states (countries), nine territories and two de facto independent states with limited or no recognition.
Africa's population is the youngest among all the continents; the median age in 2012 was 19.7, when the worldwide median age was 30.4. Algeria is Africa's largest country by area, and Nigeria by population. Africa, particularly central Eastern Africa, is widely accepted as the place of origin of humans and the Hominidae clade (great apes), as evidenced by the discovery of the earliest hominids and their ancestors, as well as later ones that have been dated to around seven million years ago, including Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Australopithecus africanus, A. afarensis, Homo erectus, H. habilis and H. ergaster – with the earliest Homo sapiens (modern human) found in Ethiopia being dated to circa 200,000 years ago. Africa straddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas; it is the only continent to stretch from the northern temperate to southern temperate zones.
Africa hosts a large diversity of Black and Caucasian ethnicities, cultures and languages. These often clash and compete at a local level, without decreasing the continent's total population. In the late 19th century, European countries colonized most of Africa. Most present states in Africa originate from a chaotic and often tragic process of decolonization in the 20th century. Africa has become known for occasional famines and sometimes horrific sectarian conflicts.
In the late 2010s, the core reasons for Africa's relative economic backwardness could not be freely discussed in academia or other mainstream forums, as the subject was considered politically incorrect. Human biodiversity theories claim that differences in economic and social outcomes are best explained by the fact that African countries have lower average IQ rates than white or Asian countries, along with other genetically determined social differences (which may be advantageous in Africa, and evolutionarily neutral elsewhere) such as lower abilities to cooperate at a societal level. This does not imply that African populations are genetically inferior in a Darwinian sense; in fact the opposite may be true, due to Africa's continuing higher birth rates, and an ongoing immigration-driven process of population replacement into the West. Instead of attempting to raise African living standards, many of its young adults seek to make a better life for themselves in majority-white countries. Raising Africa's quality of life to Western levels might require still unknown organizing principles, or even new forms of technology.
In the twenty-first century, the population of Africa may quadruple if current demographic trends continue.
Afri was a Latin name used to refer to the inhabitants of Africa, which in its widest sense referred to all lands south of the Mediterranean (Ancient Libya). This name seems to have originally referred to a native Libyan tribe; see Terence#Biography for discussion. The name is usually connected with Hebrew ʿafar "dust", but a 1981 hypothesis has asserted that it stems from the Berber ifri (plural ifran) "cave", in reference to cave dwellers. The same word may be found in the name of the Banu Ifran from Algeria and Tripolitania, a Berber tribe originally from Yafran (also known as Ifrane) in northwestern Libya.
Under Roman rule, Carthage became the capital of the province of Africa Proconsularis, which also included the coastal part of modern Libya. The Latin suffix "-ica" can sometimes be used to denote a land (e.g., in Celtica from Celtae, as used by Julius Caesar). The later Muslim kingdom of Ifriqiya, modern-day Tunisia, also preserved a form of the name.
Isidore of Seville in Etymologiae XIV.5.2. suggests "Africa comes from the Latin aprica, meaning "sunny".
Michèle Fruyt proposed linking the Latin word with africus "south wind", which would be of Umbrian origin and mean originally "rainy wind".
Robert R. Stieglitz of Rutgers University proposed: "The name Africa, derived from the Latin *Aphir-ic-a, is cognate to Hebrew Ophir."
The size of the Sahara has historically been extremely variable, with its area rapidly fluctuating and at times disappearing depending on global climactic conditions. At the end of the Ice ages, estimated to have been around 10,500 BC, the Sahara had again become a green fertile valley, and its African populations returned from the interior and coastal highlands in Sub-Saharan Africa, with rock art paintings depicting a fertile Sahara and large populations discovered in Tassili n'Ajjer dating back perhaps 10 millennia. However, the warming and drying climate meant that by 5000 BC, the Sahara region was becoming increasingly dry and hostile. Around 3500 BC, due to a tilt in the earth's orbit, the Sahara experienced a period of rapid desertification. The population trekked out of the Sahara region towards the Nile Valley below the Second Cataract where they made permanent or semi-permanent settlements. A major climatic recession occurred, lessening the heavy and persistent rains in Central and Eastern Africa. Since this time, dry conditions have prevailed in Eastern Africa and, increasingly during the last 200 years, in Ethiopia.
In the early 7th century, the newly formed Arabian Islamic Caliphate expanded into Egypt, and then into North Africa. In a short while, the local Berber elite had been integrated into Muslim Arab tribes. When the Umayyad capital Damascus fell in the 8th century, the Islamic center of the Mediterranean shifted from Syria to Qayrawan in North Africa. Islamic North Africa had become diverse, and a hub for mystics, scholars, jurists, and philosophers. During the above-mentioned period, Islam spread to sub-Saharan Africa, mainly through trade routes and migration.
The Kingdom of Ife, historically the first of these Yoruba city-states or kingdoms, established government under a priestly oba ('king' or 'ruler' in the Yoruba language), called the Ooni of Ife. Ife was noted as a major religious and cultural center in West Africa, and for its unique naturalistic tradition of bronze sculpture. The Ife model of government was adapted at the Oyo Empire, where its obas or kings, called the Alaafins of Oyo, once controlled a large number of other Yoruba and non-Yoruba city-states and kingdoms; the Fon Kingdom of Dahomey was one of the non-Yoruba domains under Oyo control.
The Berlin Conference held in 1884–85 was an important event in the political future of African ethnic groups. It was convened by King Leopold II of Belgium, and attended by the European powers that laid claim to African territories. It sought to end the Eurpoean powers' Scramble for Africa, by agreeing on political division and spheres of influence. They set up the political divisions of the continent, by spheres of interest, that exist in Africa today.
In the 21st century, however, the number of armed conflicts in Africa has steadily declined. For instance, the civil war in Angola came to an end in 2002 after nearly 30 years. This has coincided with many countries abandoning communist-style command economies and opening up for market reforms. The improved stability and economic reforms have led to a great increase in foreign investment into many African nations, mainly from China, which has spurred quick economic growth in many countries, seemingly ending decades of stagnation and decline. Several African economies are among the world's fastest growing as of 2016. A significant part of this growth, which is sometimes referred to as Africa Rising, can also be attributed to the facilitated diffusion of information technologies and specifically the mobile telephone.
Africa has over 3,000 protected areas, with 198 marine protected areas, 50 biosphere reserves, and 80 wetlands reserves. Significant habitat destruction, increases in human population and poaching are reducing Africa's biological diversity. Human encroachment, civil unrest and the introduction of non-native species threaten biodiversity in Africa. This has been exacerbated by administrative problems, inadequate personnel and funding problems.
The African Union (AU) is a 54-member federation consisting of all of Africa's states except Morocco. The union was formed, with Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, as its headquarters, on 26 June 2001. The union was officially established on 9 July 2002 as a successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). In July 2004, the African Union's Pan-African Parliament (PAP) was relocated to Midrand, in South Africa, but the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights remained in Addis Ababa. There is a policy in effect to decentralize the African Federation's institutions so that they are shared by all the states.
Although it has abundant natural resources, Africa remains the world's poorest and most underdeveloped continent, the result of a variety of causes that may include corrupt governments that have often committed serious human rights violations, failed central planning, high levels of illiteracy, lack of access to foreign capital, and frequent tribal and military conflict (ranging from guerrilla warfare to genocide). According to the United Nations' Human Development Report in 2003, the bottom 25 ranked nations (151st to 175th) were all African.
Sub-Saharan Africa is the least successful region of the world in reducing poverty ($1.25 per day); some 50% of the population living in poverty in 1981 (200 million people), a figure that rose to 58% in 1996 before dropping to 50% in 2005 (380 million people). The average poor person in sub-Saharan Africa is estimated to live on only 70 cents per day, and was poorer in 2003 than in 1973, indicating increasing poverty in some areas. Some of it is attributed to unsuccessful economic liberalization programs spearheaded by foreign companies and governments, but other studies have cited bad domestic government policies more than external factors.
From 1995 to 2005, Africa's rate of economic growth increased, averaging 5% in 2005. Some countries experienced still higher growth rates, notably Angola, Sudan and Equatorial Guinea, all of which had recently begun extracting their petroleum reserves or had expanded their oil extraction capacity. The continent is believed to hold 90% of the world's cobalt, 90% of its platinum, 50% of its gold, 98% of its chromium, 70% of its tantalite, 64% of its manganese and one-third of its uranium. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has 70% of the world's coltan, a mineral used in the production of tantalum capacitors for electronic devices such as cell phones. The DRC also has more than 30% of the world's diamond reserves. Guinea is the world's largest exporter of bauxite. As the growth in Africa has been driven mainly by services and not manufacturing or agriculture, it has been growth without jobs and without reduction in poverty levels. In fact, the food security crisis of 2008 which took place on the heels of the global financial crisis has pushed back 100 million people into food insecurity.
A Harvard University study led by professor Calestous Juma showed that Africa could feed itself by making the transition from importer to self-sufficiency. "African agriculture is at the crossroads; we have come to the end of a century of policies that favored Africa's export of raw materials and importation of food. Africa is starting to focus on agricultural innovation as its new engine for regional trade and prosperity."
During US President Barack Obama's visit to Africa in July 2013, he announced a US$7 billion plan to further develop infrastructure and work more intensively with African heads of state. He also announced a new program named Trade Africa, designed to boost trade within the continent as well as between Africa and the US.
Africa's population has rapidly increased over the last 40 years, and consequently, it is relatively young. In some African states, more than half the population is under 25 years of age. The total number of people in Africa increased from 229 million in 1950 to 630 million in 1990. As of 2014, the population of Africa is estimated at 1.2 billion. Africa's total population surpassing other continents is fairly recent; African population surpassed Europe in the 1990s, while the Americas was overtaken sometime around the year 2000; Africa's rapid population growth is expected to overtake the only two nations currently larger than its population, at roughly the same time - India and China's 1.4 billion people each will swap ranking around the year 2022.
Some aspects of traditional African cultures have become less practiced in recent years as a result of neglect and suppression by colonial and post-colonial regimes. For example, African customs were discouraged, and African languages were prohibited in mission schools. Leopold II of Belgium attempted to "civilize" Africans by discouraging polygamy and witchcraft.
Fifty-three African countries have football (soccer) teams in the Confederation of African Football. Egypt has won the African Cup seven times, and a record-making three times in a row. Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana, and Algeria have advanced to the knockout stage of recent FIFA World Cups. South Africa hosted the 2010 World Cup tournament, becoming the first African country to do so.
Africans profess a wide variety of religious beliefs, and statistics on religious affiliation are difficult to come by since they are often a sensitive a topic for governments with mixed religious populations. According to the World Book Encyclopedia, Islam is the largest religion in Africa, followed by Christianity. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, 45% of the population are Christians, 40% are Muslims, and 10% follow traditional religions. A small number of Africans are Hindu, Buddhist, Confucianist, Baha'i, or have beliefs from the Judaic tradition. There is also a minority of Africans who are irreligious.

Q: Isolate Duplicates Records within qualitative groups R I want to know if it is possible to isolate duplicate records based from a date value but within groups. So essentially, I want extract records where for a given Title, ID, and category where the date values are the same?
Example:
Title   Title_ID   Category     Date
Title1    2728     Category 1   2013-08-09
Title1    2728     Category 2   2013-10-18
Title1    2728     Category 3   2013-11-05
Title1    2728     Category 4   2013-11-05

Desired Output:
Title   Title_ID   Category     Date
Title1    2728     Category 3   2013-11-05
Title1    2728     Category 4   2013-11-05

Is there a way to accomplish this within R's nifty packages?
Thanks.

A: The two links I sent you in the comments are used together for this solution.
The first link shows you how to get all duplicate indices, not just the first one, with the fromLast argument combined with a | operator. The second shows you how to check for duplication across multiple columns. So you check for rows that have all the same Title, Title_ID, and Date values.
The last line of code removes exact duplicates if there are any in your dataframe. Your example doesn't include any and I'm not totally clear from your description
ind <- duplicated(dt[,c('Title', 'Title_ID', 'Date')]) | duplicated(dt[,c('Title', 'Title_ID', 'Date')], fromLast = T)

dt2 <- dt[ind,]

dt2[!duplicated(dt2),]

See Coach Logic in action
Coach Logic User Board – Report from the Conference
By: Coach Logic, 2 December 2016
Sports professionals from across the team sports of rugby, football and hockey gathered at Loughborough University's London Campus on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to hear about the latest advances in technology from Coach Logic.
The setting – at the university which is at the forefront of sport in the UK and globally – was perfect for Coach Logic founders Mark Cairns and Andy Muir to set out their vision for the future of online analysis and video feedback. And the additional input from experts within the field added an academic weight that gave a context to the developments in coaching that Muir and Cairns are spearheading.
While the conference had structure and a schedule, much of the day was about shared experiences. One target that Cairns and Muir were keen to hit was the testing and subsequent launch of the new Coach Logic App. The audience in the room were perfect 'guinea pigs' – all passionate about coaching and all willing to explore new ideas.
"The app will be perfect for our needs," said Chris Fowke, who coaches the Army women's rugby team. "Our players are geographically all over the place; social media is the best way of communicating with them and this is great – it's like a Whats App for the team."
Certainly communication is the driver behind the app, as Cairns explained: "Today's user has very different habits to players of the past. They may be watching television, snap chatting their mates on their smart phones and watching clips of the game on their laptops, all at the same time. We think the app will tap into that mindset and give coaches and players a better communication channel."
With the app, the coaches and players can share all manner of information: not just about their own match or training session but videos of other teams, infographics, pictures, training schedules or they can simply start a conversation.
"The App is the start of the discussion," said Cairns. "By encouraging this type of easy interaction, it becomes habit forming, but it also gives the coach an opportunity to learn more about their players. For example, you can see when the players are interacting on the app, which gives you insight into their lifestyle; you can see how often they view certain clips: depending upon the content, that might warn you they are anxious about an aspect of their performance."
Through the app, players and coaches can tags events of interest; involve others in the discussion by mentioning '@' another user(s) or group(s) within the tag; receive notifications of any clips or conversations they are tagged in; favourite particular clips or messages and a heap of other tools that the digital generation are comfortable using.
"It is a simple way of getting information to a large group of players," said Gavin Hogg, coach to Bury St Edmunds Rugby team. "It is one of those things that you need to get into the habit of doing and then it becomes a really efficient way of doing things. For me, an away game is ideal because I can prepare the clips on the journey home and the players will have them by Sunday morning."
For several coaches at the conference, the idea of sharing information and encouraging two-way feedback is breaking through the old, entrenched coaching styles. An analyst at Chelsea Football Club said: "The historical nature of our sport is entrenched and we are working to break that. Under the old system, the coach was the dominant force, training happened to players. We want to create a system where training happens with players."
Two-way communication was very much the dominant theme of the day. Most coaches admitted to working alongside old school coaching staff who still believed in a one-way communication path, but the consensus in the room was the need for player engagement. "Players will come to training now and challenge what we are doing," said Fowke. "They have watched the clips, listened to our feedback but had their own thoughts on it."
Hogg agreed: 'My players will bring their thoughts to the training session and we are really pleased about that because they are the guys on the ground. We might have watched a clip and seen it one way but they will have a totally different perspective."
For coaches, such as Kevin Johnson who coaches the Welsh Hockey team and therefore only sees his players for occasional blocks of time throughout the season, the ability to send relevant information is vital. "The players will have been with their club coaches every week and often that drives any memory of what we have been doing out of their minds. By sending clips and comments, we are able to refocus on the work we have done as a squad. I will often re-send a clip just before the team gets together, just to focus the players."
Alongside the discussions about Coach Logic and the digital platform, delegates also heard from Dr Don Vinson, a lecturer in sports coaching at Worcestershire University; Michael Ayres, programme director for education, theology and leadership at St Mary's University and Jamie Benson, head analyst from West Ham United.
The key messages from each speaker backed the key message from the conference. Player engagement is vital to the success of the team. "We have moved way beyond the culture of 'yelling and telling'," said Vinson, as he wrapped up his talk. "Effective learners are active, curious, motivated, excited and they like to work with others."
Ayres agrees: "It is no fun reflecting upon a game on your own, Coach Logic have helped make this a social element of the whole game and training package."
The Coach Logic App is available from Apple and Google Play (android) app stores.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 11) — The President reiterated his claim that there is no militarization of the customs bureau but maintained that the military has to intervene to prevent corruption.
In a speech Saturday, the President said he did not appoint the military to specific positions in the Bureau of Customs (BOC). He explained that he was merely asking for their help because the BOC has become an "anarchy."
"Hindi naman militarization 'yan [That is not militarization]... When you are calling the military for help, you are not appointing them to any position neither are you designating them with specific functions," he said during his speech at the Subaraw Biodiversity Festival in Puerta Princesa, Palawan.
President Rodrigo Duterte said the BOC has become a place where any appointed official would be subjected to corruption, which warrants the need for military intervention.
"They [military] are there to keep peace because customs is an anarchy. Maski sinong ilagay mo talagang may corruption [Whoever you appoint to be there, there will still be corruption]" he maintained.
Duterte mentioned ex-Customs Commissioner Ruffy Biazon, who was entangled in a "pork" controversy during his stint from 2011 to 2013.
The President earlier slammed reports of militarization in the bureau on Tuesday, saying there was no appointment of any sort.
"When I called in the army to help the Bureau of Customs, there was no designation. There was no appointment and there was never an instruction for them to take over the functions of the employees," he said.
In October, Duterte said the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) would take over the BOC, as all employees of the agency were on floating status.
The President then said, "They will be replaced, all of them, by military men. It will be a takeover of the armed forces in the matter of operating in the meantime, while we are sorting out how to effectively meet the challenges of corruption in this country."
His order drew flak and some senators also questioned the order's legality.

Summer Concerts - Everything Old Is New Again
Feel like going retro? Three of the '80s top acts are hitting the road again, desperately hoping to prove that they've still got what it takes. The artist formerly known as the Artist, Prince, is handing out copies of his new CD to everybody that attends one of his shows. Madonna - or is that Esther? - embarks on a tour that's a mix of old and new songs, and is reportedly just as shocking as we've come to expect from the Material Girl. If you're in the mood to rock out, the Van Halen reunion might be a good bet.
Summer Concerts - Teenage Wasteland
Bummed that Britney's canceled the rest of her tour? Don't worry about it! There are plenty of other teen acts heading your way. Mrs. Newlywed herself, Jessica Simpson, is traveling coast-to-coast with a multimedia show that's packed with tunes and video clips. Or you might want to check out Lizzie McGuire's alter ego, Hilary Duff, as she embarks on an extensive North American tour along with her sister, Haylie. Let's not forget the return of Hanson, who are heading out in support of their new album, Underneath (it's probably a safe bet that they'll play MmmBop, though!).
Summer Concerts - The More The Merrier
Of course, if you really want to get your money's worth, you might want to head out to one of this summer's many musical festivals. The Vans Warped Tour is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a smokin' line-up that includes Simple Plan, Good Charlotte and Bad Religion. Projekt Revolution is a tour that's pretty new to the game (this is its third year), but their impressive roster of talent is nothing to sneeze at (bands like Linkin Park, Korn and Snoop Dogg). Finally, if you're not into hard rock or punk, the American Idols Live! tour features winner Fantasia Barrino. All nine of the show's runners up, including fan favorite like LaToya London and Jon Peter Lewis, will also be on the tour.

Home / canada / The Canadian government presents the details of EV incentives, a list of 27 models and finishes
The Canadian government presents the details of EV incentives, a list of 27 models and finishes
canada April 17, 2019 canada
The Canadian federal government published details on incentives that it intends to introduce to zero-emission vehicle buyers nationwide on 17 April.
Incentives worth USD 2,500 and USD 5,000, depending on the range of the vehicle, will be collected from the pool of USD 300 million in three years, reported Transport Canada in a press release, and apply for a list of new vehicles purchased or leased on May 1 or later, 2019.
The issue also lists new targets for zero-emission vehicles for the country, "10 percent of new light vehicle sales" by 2025; 30 percent by 2030; and 100 percent by 2040.
"To get incentives, the vehicle must have a suggested retail price for the manufacturer of the base model [MSRP] less than $ 45,000 for passenger cars with six or fewer seats and less than $ 55,000 for vehicles with seven or more seats, the ministry explained.
"For qualified vehicles with six or more smaller seating positions, more expensive versions (trimmers) are eligible, provided that the suggested retail price of the final manufacturer is $ 55,000 or less", and for vehicles with seven or more seats – slats with a price of up to 60 000 USD will qualify.
Vehicles may still qualify, even if "delivery, freight and other charges, such as vehicle color and accessories" shift the sales price above these limits.
This added window means that much more vehicles are eligible than the critics assumed for the first time when the $ 45,000 threshold was first announced, including DrivingOwn David Booth, who noticed that the price was too low to do a lot of good.
The rebate will be USD 5,000 for "electric accumulators, hydrogen fuel cells or longer plug-in hybrid vehicles" with a range of 50 km or more per charge; and $ 2,500 for "lower-grade hybrid vehicles" with a range below that distance.
The list of eligible vehicles currently includes around 27 models and finishes, including models
Audi A3 e-tron;
Chevrolet Bolt and Volt;
Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid;
Ford Fusion Energi and Focus Electric;
Honda Clarity plug-in hybrid;
Hyundai Ioniq, Kona and Sonata EV and hybrids;
Kia Niro, Optima and Soul EVs and hybrids;
Mini Cooper Countryman plug-in hybrid;
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV;
Nissan Leaf Plus;
Toyota Prius Prime;
VW e-Golf; and
smart fortwo.
"We work with Canadians across the country to support practical and affordable solutions in the fight against climate change," said Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change.
"The transport sector is crucial to the Canadian economy – but it also accounts for one quarter of our emissions. Making sure that Canadians have access to options to get where they need to go in a cleaner, cheaper and faster way will protect our environment and develop our economy. "
The new federal program will also finance the further development of electric vehicle charging stations.
The incentive program was implemented under the 2019 budget and is still subject to approval by Parliament.

Pan Celtic Collaborative Surgical Site Infection Surveillance Report - Surveillance of surgical site infection for caesarean section procedures performed in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales in 2008
Pan Celtic Collaborative Surgi.....
The Pan Celtic Network includes the surveillance programmes from the Northern Ireland Healthcare Associated Infection Surveillance Centre (HISC), the Welsh Healthcare Associated Infection Programme (WHAIP) and the Health Protection Scotland (HPS) Scottish Surveillance Healthcare Associated Infection Programme (SSHAIP).
A total of 22151 caesarean section procedures were reported to participating countries of the Pan Celtic Network during 2008. This report presents details of these procedures and the surgical site infections (SSIs) detected in this patient population. Characteristics of patients, including age and body mass index (BMI), undergoing a caesarean section varied marginally between countries within the Pan Celtic Network. There is also marginal variation related to management and care of procedures between countries within the Pan Celtic network. This included for duration of surgery the median ranging from 35 minutes in Northern Ireland to 40 minutes in Scotland and the interquartile range (IQR) of post operative length of stay from three to four days in Northern Ireland, two to three days in Wales and two to four days in Scotland.

Can anyone truly be prepared for greatness? Or is it a matter of luck?
The protagonists of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Divergent and many other popular series of adventure tales are all thrust into dangerous, challenging situations, and happen to rise to the occasion, becoming heroes who inspire in us a sense of possibility that touches an ancient yearning we all have. We want to believe that we too could rise, and, perhaps, will, when confronted with our toughest difficulties and trials. And most parents would hope the same thing about their children. But is it ultimately a matter of happenstance, or genes, or of a more mysterious destiny? Or, on the contrary, is there something we can do to prepare for the possibility of greatness? This new series suggests that we can prepare for greatness, and shows how.
A highly acclaimed thriller novelist has described these books as, "The Alchemist meets Harry Potter meets Indiana Jones." This is multi volume coming-of-age story about a group of young teens and adults, who have a deep experience of human nature and, along with it, a more realistic experience of the paranormal, or the more mysterious aspects of life, than what you might expect from current fiction. Its focus is on a thirteen-year-old boy, Walid Shabeezar, and his friends, under the guidance of Walid's wise, strong, and sometimes funny seventy-year-old uncle, Ali – who, unknown to his young nephew until the end of the first book, is a man whose past and future will radically revolutionize Walid's life.
Imagine that the world's oldest story—the epic of Gilgamesh, from 2700 BCE—was actually true and that this astonishing fact, revealed to us now through a series of events happening in a reimagined Egypt in the years 1934 and 1935, will explain the origin of all our greatest art, science, literature and philosophy. Imagine further that a few other of the most famous heroic stories through time, like the first great English tale, the Epic of Beowulf, are also based on real events and that they reveal to us possibilities in our deepest nature for human discovery and power that most of us would never even guess we have. It's a tale that explains the impact of Plato's two most famous stories and shows the truth of Aristotle's most important insight. It's also a story that reveals the common ground beneath some of the oldest spirituality and the newest physics. Walid and the Mysteries of Phi.
The stories are set in a re-imagined Egypt in 1934 and 1935. They encompass and play off some of the best practical wisdom from throughout the ages, as well as deeper spiritual perspectives about the power of the mind, the nature of reality, and, eventually, the possibilities for personal transformation and redemption from even terrible choices.
The short book The Oasis Within is a sort of prologue and companion to the novels, which presents a series of conversations between Walid and his uncle during a trip across the desert by camel. Through these discussions, we gradually come to know two main characters of the series. But we soon meet several more, and they are just as important to the overall epic story as Walid and his Uncle Ali. The novels that follow this prologue, numbered as books 1-7 in the series proper, are action-adventure-suspense-thriller tales that revolve around deep philosophical perspectives and involve a secret society, warriors, mystics, gunfights, bombs, crime lords, apparently paranormal events, mysterious numbers, and formidable antagonists whose plans for the kingdom set up the main challenges that Walid and his friends have to face. Two powerful women and their highly skilled daughters play a crucial role in Walid's ability to survive, flourish, and, hopefully, prevail.

There's no doubt that information products are a great way to make profits. Digital downloads are easy to format and can be created by anyone who has something to say. For the marketer, eBooks are a great tool to bring in profit.
But one of the best things you can do is add more than one form of media to your sale to increase profit margins. The reason that multi-media products increase profits is because even for people who are great readers, how-to examples set in a step-by-step visual guide make it easier to learn and retain knowledge.
It's easier for most people to grasp learning something new when it's presented visually. You may know what you mean in your eBook when you talk about formatting something or putting it up on a website, but for the beginner, those words will seem like a foreign language.
Using videos to sell your products also gives you the edge of being able to add a personal touch. You can also add audio files for the customer to be able to download as an MP3 to their player for on-the-go learning.
Audio courses are just another way to use multi media to raise the level of profits you earn. Audio files are more portable and versatile than ever before and with the rise of the iPod and other MP3 players, almost everyone has a way to play audio files.
Fortunately, it doesn't take a lot of fancy computer software to create quality audio files. All you need is a microphone that plugs into your computer or laptop and recording software, some of which is already pre-installed on your computer.
Audacity is one free audio editor that works across multiple platforms, enabling you to record your lessons. Audio files are particularly good if you get easily flustered in front of the camera. You can reference a quick outline you've written in an audio recording without the audience ever knowing.
When you're ready to make your recording, find a quiet place. You don't want to have to scrap a perfectly good recording because your microphone picked up the sounds around you.
Once you're finished with the recording, listen to the playback carefully in one sitting and make a note of anything that needs to be edited or changed. Audacity and other audio recording programs can help you remove long pauses or unnecessary words for example 'like' or 'um' or any pet phrases that you might overuse.

2016 Ford Kuga facelift revealed at Geneva | What Car?
The facelifted Ford Kuga SUV has been unveiled at the Geneva motor show, and will go on sale in the UK in October.
The Kuga is Ford's mid-size SUV model, which sits in the range between the small crossover EcoSport and the larger Edge SUV.
The facelift now incorporates the design language update that Ford is deploying across its range of updates, with design cues being taken from the updated EcoSport shown last year.
It receives a new sculpted bonnet with a wider, more central, dome shape, which has been designed with deformability and flexibility in mind, aiding pedestrian protection in the event of an accident.
What engines does it come with?
A new 1.5-litre diesel engine option has been added to the range. It comes with front-wheel drive and produces 120bhp, returning a claimed fuel economy figure of 64.2mpg, while CO2 emissions are 115g/km.
A 2.0-litre TDCi diesel unit is also available, with 150bhp in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive form, returning 60.1mpg and emitting 122g/km of CO2. There's also an 180bhp variant, with Intelligent All Wheel Drive version, delivering 54.3mpg and 135g/km of CO2.
Petrol options include the 1.5-litre Ecoboost, with a choice of two outputs: 120bhp or 150bhp for front-wheel drive, with a claimed fuel economy of 45.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 143g/km.
There's also an all-wheel-drive version with a 1.5-litre Ecoboost petrol engine that produces 182bhp and returns 38.2mpg and 171g/km of CO2.
The Kuga now gets self-adjusting bi-xenon headlights and a new power-operated tow bar - which stores itself out of sight when not in use - as well as a new electronic parking brake and paddle shifters.
The tailgate can also be opened with a kicking motion below the rear bumper. Ford's new Sync3 technology also features inside, with an 8.0in touchscreen display including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing drivers to control functions using conversational voice commands. By saying 'I need a coffee' or 'I need petrol', the system will locate nearby stops.
Official pricing has yet to be revealed. However, we'd expect prices to stick fairly closely to those of the current Kuga, which costs from £19,995.
AWD models offer Ford's semi-autonomous parking technology which helps drivers park hands-free in spaces alongside other cars.

A drug discovery firm hopes to raise up to £5m when it floats on the alternative investment market later this month.
UK-based e-Therapeutics said the money would be used to fund clinical developments of drug compounds which it is working on, and enable it to continue developing its drug discovery platform.
The group uses "systems biology technology" to discover potential new treatments for diseases for which there is either no existing treatment or current treatment is deemed to be unsatisfactory.
The firm also uses a computer-based drug discovery platform to predict the effects of drugs on different proteins, enabling the identification of possible drugs and their likely side-effects.
The firm claims its drug discovery procedure is much faster than conventional approaches, and allows for rapid exploration of commercial opportunities.
The company has developed a portfolio of possible drugs over the past two years, including potential treatments for asthma, depression and skin cancer.
It has 10 product patent applications pending and five drugs due to enter phase II trials during the coming year.
e-Therapeutics chief executive Professor Malcolm Young said: "We are delighted to be joining the London AIM market.
"The placing will enable us to develop and broaden our pipeline, and will significantly raise the profile of e-Therapeutics with potential licensing partners."
