Q: Proof for an optimization problem with infinite number of variables During a quest to find an appropriate solution to a problem, I have been reduced to the following exercise:
Assume two compactly-defined and Lipschitz-continuous
functions $A_1(x)$ and $A_2(x)$ in the domain $x \in \Xi \equiv [0,0.2]$ such that:
$ A_1(x) < 0 \quad \forall x \in \Xi $
$ A_2(x) < 0 \quad \forall x \in \Xi $
and
$ \int_\Xi (A_1+A_2)dx = -\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{10} $
$ \int_\Xi (A_1^2+A_2^2)dx = \frac{16}{5} $
Prove that $A_1(x) = A_2(x) = \frac{-4}{\sqrt{2}} \quad \forall x \in \Xi$ is a unique solution satisfying all above conditions.
So far, I have approached the problem as a geometrical problem in infinite dimension. For example, find $\boldsymbol{A}$ such that:
$\boldsymbol{A} \in  \mathbb{R}_{< 0}^N \quad N \in \mathbb{N} $
$ \sum_{i=1}^N A_i = -4/\sqrt{2}N $
$ || \boldsymbol{A} ||^2  = 8N $
trying to show that $A_i = -4/\sqrt{2} \quad \forall i = 1,2,...,N$ is the only solution for specific integer $N$s. However, this becomes a difficult problem for me in $ N \geq 4 $.
Also, some numerical experimentation using optimization algorithms seems to validate the above conclusion. However, the problem is that I cannot really check the space of all numbers using numerical methods.

A: This is a basic calculus problem. No need to "approach the problem as a geometrical problem in infinite dimension", whatever that means.
We rename $\Xi$ to $Z$ for convenience. Consider the function $F = (A_1+2\sqrt{2})^2+(A_2+2\sqrt{2})^2$. We calculate it's integral:
$$ \int_Z (A_1+2\sqrt{2})^2 + (A_2+2\sqrt{2})^2 = \int_Z A_1^2 + 4\sqrt{2}A_2 + 8 + A_2^2 + 4\sqrt{2}A_2 + 8 $$
$$ = \int_Z (A_1^2+A_2^2) + 4\sqrt{2}(A_1+A_2) + 16  = \frac{16}{5}+ 4\sqrt{2}(\frac{-4\sqrt{2}}{5})+\frac{16}{5}$$
$$ = \frac{32}{5}-\frac{32}{5} = 0$$
This implies that $F$ is $0$ on $Z$ except possibly on a set of measure $0$. Since Lipschitz continuous on a compact domain in $\Bbb R$ implies continuous, $F$ is continuous and $F$ is actually identically $0$ on $Z$. Since it is a sum of two nonnegative functions, this implies that each of those functions are identically zero on $Z$, or that $A_1=A_2=-2\sqrt{2}$ on $Z$.

Horses: An Exceptionally Important Commodity in Early Atlantic Trade
Myranda Grecinger
Myranda Grecinger is a graduate student in interdisciplinary studies at Liberty University studying American History & Executive Leadership.
By Myranda Grecinger
One of the commodities prominent in Atlantic trade was horses; they played a key role in the Atlantic economy. The horse was perhaps the most important commodity involved in the Atlantic Trade Route. It was singularly responsible for a total transformation of the Americas. The introduction of horses provided new means of transportation, access to new means of subsistence, the potential for improved war tactics, opportunities for improved agriculture, increased trade options, significantly impacted the course of interactions between various groups, and without question led to a complete Socio-cultural and economical revolution in the new world which had a notable effect on some aspects of European society.
While many people may associate the horse with ancient Native American traditions, the truth is, no such animal existed for early Amerindians. The closest thing they had to beasts of burden was dogs and llamas, respective to their locations (Jones, 1991). Equine related creatures had long since become extinct in the Americas (McNeill, 2013). Eventually however, as everyone is aware, horses did end up back in the Americas, they arrived along with early European explorers and settlers.
While nonexistent in both North and South America, horses were essential to various aspects in society across Europe. European horses are believed to have been originally domesticated "during the Neolithic, Eneolithic or Early Bronze Age in the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Eastern Europe, or Western Europe" (Levine, 2002). In the early years horses were domesticated and bred primarily for meat and riding, later though, they would be utilized as pack animals, to pull wheeled carts, to assist in agricultural endeavors and as early war machines. They were a key element of European civilization, so it is certainly understandable that when the Europeans began to travel to lands across the Atlantic that they brought horses with them. Considering the fact that the Europeans intended that the animals should only be brought for their own use, there was no way that the travelers could have possibly have comprehended the vast depths of the impact that their decision to bring the creatures which they so readily relied on, would have on the lands to which they brought them or the people who would encounter them for the first time.
Horses and an Overview of the Socio-Cultural Revolution They Caused
When Europeans arrived in the Americas, whether North or South, their goals were simple, to search for gold and other items that may contribute to the economic wealth of their respective nations and to settle the land in efforts to expand their respective nations. Of course upon arriving they soon learned this would not be as easy a task as initially believed because the lands were already inhabited and contained far less riches then they had been led to believe. Their interactions with Early Amerindians were hostile from the start for the most part; typically, however, they swiftly dominated the native populations. That situation would eventually shift somewhat in the Amerindian's favor and the heaviest factor, was their obtainment of horse, creatures they had once regarded with fear and mysticism (Jones, 1991 and McNeill, 2013).
As more horses were brought across the Atlantic, they began to escape the custody of their owners, effectively creating a new wild population that exists today. Along with escaped horses which could be captured and tamed, horses were sometimes stolen by Native Americans from their European visitors, but still, they were not much more than a coveted commodity, controlled by the same people who were controlling the majority of commodities available on the Columbian exchange, the Spaniards and the British, soon enough, that would all change though. While some tribes may have obtained horses earlier, they really did not become wide spread until after the Pueblo revolt in 1680, at which time many were taken from the Spanish and began to be traded among neighboring tribes (Jones, 1991). As soon as Native Americans received access to horses, conquest and colonization efforts in the Americas would never be the same and neither would Native American life. Horses enabled some Native tribes to hunt more efficiently, others focused on perfecting use of the horse for war efforts and still others made use of it for travel, however they used it, one thing was clear, a transformation had taken place.
Horses remained an important part of Native American life as well as immigrant life from the first time they were brought across the Atlantic. Eventually, they would be utilized to carry the post, enabling long distance communication. Horses would be used to pull the first firefighting equipment, protecting the settlements against extensive loss. They even begin being utilized as a form of direct trade, often being used in place of tender to satisfy a debt, the terms of an agreement or even an inheritance. Horse thievery in the Americas was listed in many areas as a hanging offense, the reason, horses were indispensable and essential. Horses were valued above the wayward African slaves they were often employed to recover. In the year 1500 a single horse could buy as many as nine slaves (Anti-Slavery International, 2009). They were bred and traded all over the world on the Atlantic Trade Routes. They could be bred on plantations in the Appalachians, driven south where they could be sold or traded for slaves or other commodities which had traveled up from South American or Caribbean ports, brought over from Africa where they had been received in exchange for goods from the Americas or Europe. In reality, though the trade route is most notably known for its role in the trafficking of slaves, sugar and tobacco, it is quite possible that aside from precious metals, horses were the most valuable thing traded in connection with the Atlantic Triangular Trade Route.
In the United States today, horses, for the most part have very little relevance in modern society, they are typically kept for pleasure or out of preference rather than necessity, but that is far from having always been the case. At one time in the history of the Americas, Horses were the most important commodity that one could own or trade. The growth and development of the Atlantic world was clearly heavily dependent on the introduction of the Horse. It had already led to major transformations and advancements in nearly every aspect of civilization in Europe and did the same almost from the moment of its arrival in the Americas. Horses created a whirlwind transformative revolution across the Atlantic, leaving few aspects of the human existence untouched.

Engaging with local non-state actors provides opportunities for peacebuilding, especially in places where the state is absent and solutions should be sought within communities. Most conflicts revolve around local disputes such as land or water allocation, legal affairs, poverty and unemployment. Finding local solutions to these local issues has been the foundation for recent peacebuilding interventions. In the third online debate of the Knowledge Platform Security & Rule of Law, 30 international experts determined key factors for successful peacebuilding policies.They concluded that the best drafted development programmes will be meaningless if they fail to consider local actors and existing solutions before designing peacebuilding strategies.
The Platform engaged the experts from different sectors and disciplines in its third online debate to better understand how international organizations and governments can effectively build peace with non-state actors in fragile and conflict-affected countries. Local actors include NGOs, traditional councils or local militias that provide alternative forms of governance and basic services to local populations, and ensure security. These informal alternatives which often coexist next to the state are called 'hybrid forms of governance'.
The debate stirred fierce discussions on the pressing questions that local peacebuilding efforts face: can non-state actors fulfill the role of weak states? How can local views be meaningfully included in peacebuilding? And which local actors will move the peace process forward, and who are spoilers which only reinforce unequal power structures on the ground? The experts provided hands-on advice on these questions and urged international actors engaged in peacebuilding to take an in-depth look at the complexities of the local context – and at the risks their support for local authorities might hold.
Can non-state actors be accountable and legitimate partners in peace building?
Advocates of local power-sharing arrangements believe that local NGOs with established connections to communities are the most capable actors in providing social security. Cooperating with them supposedly increases international organizations' accountability and legitimacy in peacebuilding interventions.The debate's participants however heatedly deconstructed this simplified notion. Local actors who gained legitimacy through immediate relief efforts might fail to establish a basis for including the marginalized later in the development process. A solution to this could be standardized approaches to downward accountability for local organizations. David Connolly of The Hague Institute for Global Justice mentioned Integrity Action and Humanitarian Accountability Partnership as organizations providing practical guidelines to development projects on how to ensure integrity and accountability.
Communities can mediate between top and grassroots level, thus increasing the accountability of both spheres, Luc Ansobi of ACCORD argued. Romain Malejacq of CICAM added empowering communities economically and supporting local conflict resolution bodies, media and watchdog organizations as additional options. Local NGOs can thus be sources of accountability, but their impact on local communities needs to be closely monitored throughout the peace process.
Why are local non-state actors often excluded and how can they be included?
International governments are often hesitant to work with non-state actors, fearing that supporting these actors might compromise their own legal foundations. This poses a serious challenge, since non-state actors act outside the frameworks of international law, but might also provide essential services to local populations. Aaro Rytkönen of the Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers argued that only supporting national governments can significantly limit the effectiveness of peacebuilding, where tribal and local identities are often more important.
Involving local stakeholders does not guarantee true grassroots engagement or project success. International actors usually opt to work with larger local organizations that speak the 'donor language'. Nepal Centre for Contemporary Research Director Bishnu Upreti held that these organizations, however, are often not connected to grassroots initiatives. Furthermore, international organizations struggle to identify effective, more community-based projects by smaller organizations. This language barrier and disconnect explains why many relevant local institutions do not even get a place at the negotiating table. Susanne Schmeidl of the University of New South Wales advocated for including councils of elders to supplement state structures, while Brenda Bartelink of Oikos suggested utilizing existing networks of traditional and religious peacemakers.
Partnership does not necessarily mean handing over full responsibility to local entities. Sukanya Podder of Cranfield University advised pragmatic cooperation with non-state actors. An example are the clan structures in Somalia where some non-state actors may provide welfare and justice, while also contributing to instability and violence.This triggered a vibrant discussion on how to avoid transferring governing power into the 'wrong' local hands. Civil societies are often polarized along the same lines as their societies, Thania Paffenholz of the Geneva Graduate Institute cautioned.Working with the most powerful local actors risks elite capture of the peace process and might reinforce unequal social hierarchies. The legitimacy of local actors within one social group might be viewed very differently by another group. Empowering certain local actors may thus further destabilize already fragmented post-conflict societies. Martine van Bijlert of Afghanistan Analyst Network confirmed that local stakeholders can be just as entangled in patronage and corrupt networks. In addition,many powerful local actors have vested interests in upholding the status quo of protracted conflict to maintain their authority.
What partnership models with local non-actors are effective?
The experts agreed that international peacebuilding actors should adopt a more modest attitude. As a result of current development practices, local organizations prioritize accountability to donors over accountability to communities. Participants acknowledged that international influence thus runs a real risk of being a destabilizing rather than a constructive force.
An option requiring less international engagement is detailed mapping of actors and incentives analyses, combined with flexible funding arrangements and capacity development support. ECDPM's Volker Hauck suggested this helps identify local stakeholders who truly support the peace process. Gemma van der Haar contended that international actors should shift the analytical effort from 'mapping actors' to 'following problems'. Determining local needs and finding out who people turn to with problems and why should be a priority. Romain Malejacq suggested fostering virtuous processes rather than building entire institutions as a first step towards democratic governance. Frauke de Weijer of ECDPM argued that managing local society's expectations is essential to this facilitating role for international actors.
Efforts should focus on how to increase capacities of weak governments rather than excluding them, according to LSE lecturer Kate Meagher. Keeping local government arrangements flexible to enable new legitimate actors to join is a key lesson from post-conflict peacebuilding in Rwanda, Burundi and Eastern Congo.
As the responses of participants showed, local actors are an indispensable partner in peacebuilding efforts. Reconciliation within communities, as well as building resilient societies equipped with conflict resolution mechanisms will provide a strong foundation for peace, reconstruction and development. Traditional fora for discussion, local media and social networks are relevant tools to engage local stakeholders in peace dialogues. Investing in umbrella bodies to host these dialogues and in peace education are other innovative means for development actors. Supporting local efforts in conflict-affected areas is a must, not a maybe, for international actors striving to contribute to sustainable peace.
The Platform would like to thank the experts who made this debate a very insightful event. We would like to invite you to contribute to our upcoming debates to improve policies in fragile contexts.
 Based on Kate Meagher,Hybrid Governance or Hybrid Ungovernance?

Tapikeo is not a game or filled with cute characters, stickers and sparkles. It'd be a big mistake to let that turn you off because there is so much you can do with Tapikeo. In fact, Tapikeo is one of those rare apps that is easy for a kid to play independently, but also invites families to play together.
• More than a flashcard app!
• A completely open-ended app that gives parents and teachers the tools to easily tailor content to their child's needs.
• A place for kids to organize, create, and apply their knowledge and passions.
• An app that enables parents and teachers to easily share personalized content.
Tapikeo was originally recommended to us as an amazing app with tons of options we just had to try out. Once we talked to Jeoud, the developer of Tapikeo, and learned more about about how families and teachers were using his app, we were hooked.
We realize most of our users won't be accustomed to this style of app play. Tapikeo just doesn't look like other apps we've approved, which is why we want to take a moment to showoff all the exciting ways you can use this app.
Storytelling is an important part of reading and writing. It also encourages creativity, collaboration, and communication. Sit down as a family, open Tapikeo and pass the device around the table. Each person in the family narrates one picture they choose from photos to create what will end up being a silly tale. This story is now saved on the device for replaying or modifying.
This activity doesn't take any pre-planning other than making sure you have a nice catalog of photos already on your device. It also may morph into recording a family recipe, sharing about each others day, or brainstorming your family's next vacation.
Getting ready to go on that family vacation you planned around the table? Encourage an older child to create a "Family Vacation" grid. Great for car rides, children can pick out favorite pictures, plan narrations and take on the responsibility of creating the digital scrapbook of your vacation. Using Tapikeo to give your children more control and role in the family trip helps build confidence alongside all the learning benefits.
Many of you have a child who gets completely absorbed in learning about dinosaurs, space, horses, wrestlers (my kinder kids last year were obsessed with wrestlers) or whatever else their active minds can come up with. Tapikeo is a great way for them to take pictures of their favorite images, toys, and drawings and create short narrations. Parents and teachers can even type in text to help support beginning readers.
Now for those of you with 7 and 8 year olds – hand over the device and let the kids create grids that interest them. Ask your child's classroom teacher to provide a few minutes one day for your child to give a brief presentation straight from the Tapikeo app.
Creating books is one of the easiest things to do in Tapikeo. In my classroom we were always making classroom books. In addition to binding the classroom set of pictures and text, take a picture of the students' work and have the kids narrate their drawing on the app. Then, easily share these stories with your parents who have the Tapikeo app! With a quick email your students can experience these stories at home too.
Have active room parents? Get your volunteers who are familiar with Tapikeo involved by coming in and working with the class building books.
Do you teach a dual language or a bilingual classroom? We know how limited your options for books and other resources are. Tapikeo can be used to take pictures of books and narrate them in a language you are teaching. Just don't share this content. We don't want any copyright issues.
Do you have a child struggling with a concept? A child with special learning needs? A classroom of kids struggling to understand a difficult unit? Tapikeo is one more resource for you.
Tapikeo is designed on a grid system. The squares on the grid can connect to each other to link concepts together. Think about the potential for building vocabulary and comprehension. You can use one square to present the text, and link other squares that provide visual context clues, connect the text to prior learning or reinforce a strategy. It takes some work up front, but much less time than trying to find an app or other resource tailored to your specific needs.
Tapikeo has many resources to support you including a "Quick Start Guide" which can be found in the setting tab, a "Guide for parents and educators" on the grid page and look for the "?" on each page for more help and ideas.


We welcome all students to County Council of Västerbotten and Umeå University. We recommend incoming international students to contact International Office, Umeå University for best help and support. International students please visit the following links from Umeå University for important information about practical issues.
If you for any reason cannot arrive on time or wish to decline your offer, you must contact the International Office.

Arginase 1 Deficiency

Clinical Trials FAQs
Our commitment is to patients and families living with rare metabolic diseases – because rare doesn't mean alone.
Rare metabolic diseases typically result from a missing or defective enzyme which is needed to convert one chemical into another. The type of metabolic disease depends on which enzyme is affected. For example, in Arginase 1 Deficiency, patients have a mutation in the gene that codes for arginase 1, the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of arginine. Without a properly functioning arginase 1, arginine accumulates in the body and can reach toxic levels.
Metabolism describes the network of life sustaining chemical reactions in the body, including breaking down food, recycling cellular waste, generating energy and powering the body's growth. Because of this range of functions, manifestations of metabolic disorders vary widely but may include poor growth, developmental delay, intellectual disability, movement disorders, muscle weakness and seizures.
While there are many types of rare metabolic disorders, we focus on helping patients with devastating, progressive metabolic diseases with ineffective treatment options. Our current areas of focus are:
With a deep understanding of the relationship between metabolites and disease, we are working to bring better treatment options to patients with rare metabolic disorders.
Arginase 1 Deficiency (ARG1-D)
ARG1-D is an inherited metabolic disease that is often diagnosed in early childhood and worsens over time. ARG1-D is caused by the body's inability to break down arginine, resulting in persistently high levels. Although, arginine is an important amino acid for the body's normal function, too much arginine can have a devasting impact on the patient's health and quality of life. Patients with ARG1-D experience muscle tightness (spasticity), missed developmental milestones, intellectual disability, seizures and early death.
ARG1-D is considered an ultra-rare disorder with an estimated 250 patients in the U.S. Although ARG1-D can be diagnosed through newborn screening, simple blood tests or genetic testing, it is often missed – resulting in patients having a delayed or incorrect diagnosis.
Cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) deficiency, also known as Classical Homocystinuria, is a serious and progressive metabolic disorder characterized by elevated levels of the amino acid homocysteine. This toxic buildup of homocysteine leads to a wide range of life-altering complications, including thromboembolic vascular events, skeletal abnormalities (including severe osteoporosis), developmental delay, intellectual disability, lens dislocation and severe near sightedness. The condition also results in early death.
Homocystinuria is frequently treated with vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) but its estimated that half of Homocystinuria patients are not responsive to this treatment. Patients who are unable to control their homocysteine levels with available treatments are forced to rely on dietary restriction, which is challenging to comply with and often has limited effect. Homocystinuria is a rare condition with an estimated 3,000-3,300 patients in the U.S.
Cystinuria is a metabolic disorder characterized by high levels of the amino acid cystine in the urine, leading to the formation of stones in the kidney, ureter and bladder. In addition to frequent episodes of severe pain with recurrent hospital admissions, persistent stones can result in serious damage to the kidneys, causing an increased risk of hypertension and chronic kidney failure.

Loyola University Maryland updates security measures after attacks
Updated: 5:44 PM EDT Mar 23, 2016
Lowell Melser
Changes are being made in security efforts for students traveling abroad since the attacks in Brussels and Paris. Since the recent terrorist attacks, Loyola University Maryland has started introducing new security reminders for students traveling abroad.

Цикл анекдотов о слонах — популярный цикл анекдотов, распространенный в США с конца 60-х до конца 70-х годов. Анекдоты, составляющие цикл, , обычно имеют форму загадок с абсурдным ответом.

Типичные модели анекдотов

Как можно догадаться, что слон сидит вместе с тобой в ванне?
По слабому запаху арахиса у него изо рта.

Почему слоны серые?
Так их можно отличить от лазурных птиц [bluebirds] , красных кардиналов [redbirds], ежевики [blackberries]

Зачем у слонов на ногах пружины?
Так они могут насиловать летучих обезьян.

История
В 1960 году фирма L.M. Becker Co из Эпплтона, штат Висконсин, издала серию 50 коллекционных карточек, озаглавленных «Elephant Jokes» («Слоновьи шутки»). Шутки о слонах впервые были записаны в США летом 1962 года в Техасе, и постепенно разошлись по стране, достигнув Калифорнии к январю-февралю 1963 года. К июлю 1963 года шутки о слонах стали повсеместным явлением, встречались в журналах Time и Seventeen; миллионы людей занялись созданием шуток по той же формуле.

I showed up to the courthouse unsure of the photography regulations, and to my disappointment they allowed NONE. There is actually a police officer upstairs on the floor with all of the couples keeping watch of anyone who tries to pull out their phone for a quick photo! Luckily, I was still able to take photos with my mental camera (hah) since Paola & Gabriel generously allowed me to come witness their 2-minute vows. Although it was short, it still made me (and I'm sure everyone else in the courtroom) feel all the feels! No matter how big or small the wedding, truly the most important part is the genuine love shared between the couple.
I can't imagine this day now without you! Thanks for being part of it, you arrived to the courthouse even earlier than us!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being there and give us such beautiful memories of our day!

Thursday Movie Picks: Capers (Mystery Edition)
For the 34th week of 2022 as part of Wandering Through the Shelves' Thursday Movie Picks. It is mystery month as we focus on caper films that often have elements of mystery. Even as people are wondering who they're stealing from and what else is going on. Here are my three picks:
1. Le Cercle Rouge
From Jean-Pierre Melville is a heist film that revolves around two criminals who team up with a former police officer while one of them is being tailed by an investigator who is trying to figure out what they're planning to steal. It is an unconventional heist film that features a thirty-minute heist sequence that takes a lot of time but it is worth it into how meticulous the planning is. Even as it's about not making mistakes and make sure everything goes right as it is a film everyone who love heist films must see.
2. Thief
Michael Mann's theatrical film debut isn't just this engaging study of a man who is good at what he does but is willing to go straight for a new life upon completing a job he's asked to do by a crime boss. Yet, it is a film with intrigue into what this thief has to steal and for what as it features the late, great James Caan in one of his iconic performances with an aftermath that is about the fact that a thief is always a thief no matter how much he wants to go straight. Even in a world that is often cynical and violent as it is one of Mann's finest films.
3. Widows
Steve McQueen's adaptation of the short-lived British TV series from the 1980s is an intriguing film that is remains one of the more overlooked films of the 2010s. Notably as it revolves around three widows whose husbands were killed following a botched heist as one of the widows found instructions for another heist in order to pay back a criminal whose money was stolen as he is running for office in a bid for legitimacy. Featuring a great ensemble cast, the film is filled with a lot of mystery and suspense in these women having to do something that is out of their depth but also deal with loss and political turmoil around them.
Labels: thursday movie picks
The only one of yours I've seen this week is Widows and that movie did not deserve to bomb as hard as it did at the box office. It was so good!
I have not seen any of your films but would love to see the first one since I have heard excellent things about it. I have seen the original TV movie of Widows starring Mercedes Ruehl, Brooke Shields and the divine Rosie Perez. I thought it was quite good and I want to see the remake.

The stove is an eco-friendly wood-burning stove and a variant of HWAM 3630m. Same height and shape but without side glass. Like the other models in the series, it is equipped with a ventilated handle and a locking system that makes it easy to open and shut the door.


This is no thriller movie scene, but a gruesome reality of a murder in Mohali.
A 40-year-old man, Ekam Singh Dhillion, a property dealer, was found murdered in Phase 3B1 by the police with his body stuffed in large suitcase in BMW parked outside his house.
March 19, 2017; 9pm: According to family members, Ekam had come to meet his father around 9 pm on Sunday and was very tense. "As he was under some pressure, his father, Jaspal Singh Dhillon, asked him to have dinner. When his father went to receive a phone call, Ekam left," they added.
March 19, 2017; 9.45 pm: He reached his house on the first floor. Till midnight, both husband and wife (Sirat Kaur) waited for their two children to go to sleep. The two then started arguing.
March 19, 2017; 12.30 am: One of the children heard a loud noise from one of the rooms. A little while later, an unidentified person approached the kids and asked them to sleep while shutting the door of their room.
They desided to dispose off the dead body in the morning. They bundled his dead body in a suitcase. Sirat with another woman struggled to keep the bag in the boot of the car as 6 foot 3 inches tall Ekam weighed over 100 kg. They asked a passing auto-rickshaw driver for help and he kept suspicious seeing the blood oozing out of the suitcase. He called the police from near the gurdwara of Phase 3B1 and Sirat fled the scene fearing police arrival any minute.
Later, Sirat herself surrendered before the police and confessed her crime. DSL Alam Vijay said, "Sirat has admitted to killing her husband, but she was helped by someone else."The police have also booked Sirat's mother Jaswinder Kaur and brother Vinay Partap Singh under sections 34, 201, and 302 of the IPC. Sirat allegedly fired from a point blank range at Ekam, with the bullet coming out from the left temple, police said. The police has recovered the murder weapon too.
The motive of the murder, however, is still not clear.
Mohali based property dealer Ekam Singh Dhillon was the only son of human rights activist Jaspal Singh Dhillon.
His wife, alleged murderer, Sirat Kaur is the niece of former Congress MLA from Sardulgarh Ajit Inder Singh Mofer, who was defeated in the Vidhan Sabha elections. He lost to SAD candidate during the recently-concluded assembly elections in Punjab.

Federalist Papers – Essay #21 – Critical Skills!
In Essay #21, Other Defects of the Present Confederation, Alexander Hamilton gets down to specifics. He moves beyond a more general discussion of the weaknesses of confederate government into the specific failings of the Articles of Confederation. In the previous several papers, Hamilton and Madison made clear that confederacies marked by weak central governments have repeatedly descended into ineffectualness and anarchy throughout history. Now, Hamilton is showing in very specific terms how the Articles have already started America down that path. The national government cannot enforce its own laws, guarantee the democratic character of state government, or even raise its own revenue.
The inability of the national government to enforce its legislation. The government can pass laws, but it cannot enforce them. States can simply disregard the laws without facing any serious repercussions from the national government.
"A mutual guarantee of the state governments." That is, the national government has no authority to protect state governments from being violently overthrown or torn apart by internal divisions. For example, if a small faction or powerful individual were to forcibly take control of Pennsylvania, the national government under the Articles would have no authority to intervene and restore freedom and justice.
The inability of the national government to raise revenue from the states. The national government would routinely demand that states contribute certain sums of money to pay for pressing national expenses. However, the government had no way to actually compel states to pay the amount they owe.

Three decisions came from all that thinking I did this week.
1. I will visit and comment on all the blogs that link up in my Mad Hatters' Linkup Party but apart from that I'm going to take a little break from blogging, blogreading and commenting next week. I have to take care of my bookkeeping tasks. I'm not too far behind, but I have been distracted by a lot of things and blogging is one of them. Even though my husband is my employer, bookkeeping is my paying job and I need to get back on top of it all.
2. I love, love, love the knitting blog community and would like to do nothing else but participate (and knit) all day, but I really need to step back a little bit. Keeping up with four link-ups each week (and creating my own) is actually quite a bit of work (if you're a perfectionist like me). Not to mention continuously hatching plans to grow and maybe even monetize my blog(s). I have to accept that now is not the time to do that.
I think I'll do a "making, right now" post on Mondays (and link up with appropriate parties when I have time to actually visit other blogs and comment on them) and maybe a three things post on Thursdays when I feel like it (and again link up when I have time to visit and comment).
3. 52 hats. Oh yes, I will knit them and I will blog about them, but I think I'll just round them up by the end of each month, sharing notes, not real patterns (writng those is also a lot of work).
I mean, if I can't relax in a place like this, how can I ever relax anywhere else?
We're going to miss you but I totally understand. I've been participating in 4 link ups a week also and it is a lot of work! I'll also be cutting back due to my "part time," 70 hours a week summer job that starts soon. Oddly, I plan to keep up with the Monday & Thursday link ups as well. Great minds think alike! :) Enjoy your bookkeeping and that beach. That beach looks amazing!
70 hours a week, oh my! That's a lot.
My niece says 'do what is sustainable'.
I absolutely love the pictures.
don't you have such pretty views!! less is always better, it clears the mind.

Most Anticipated Music of 2020: Kendrick Lamar Continues His Streak
January 16, 2020 by itsalldead Leave a Comment
In case you missed it, Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar spent the 2010s crafting one of the greatest three-album stretches in recorded music history, capped in 2017 with the Pulitzer Prize-winning DAMN. So essentially, it was a pretty great decade for Lamar – and hip hop music in general. But what comes next?
Rumor has it that he has put the finishing touches on album number five, which will likely drop this year. Lamar has explored a variety of sounds across his previous work, at times blending a variety of genres, such as jazz, funk, and soul. A tweet from one Billboard columnist suggests that rock could be added to the mix on this latest effort.
No matter what it sounds like, one can rest assured that Lamar has plenty left to say. In 2015, To Pimp a Butterfly became a piercing exposition of institutional racism, full of deep reflections on the black experience in America. DAMN. followed suit while taking an internal detour into Lamar's own pysche. Whatever is to follow is sure to kick the decade off right and continue the artistic trajectory of one of the most powerful voices in music.
Kiel Hauck is the editor in chief at It's All Dead. Over the past decade, he has been a contributor for multiple pop culture outlets and was previously an editor at PopMatters. Kiel currently resides in Indianapolis, IN with his wife, daughter, and their imaginary pet, Hand Dog. You can follow him on Twitter.

Un reproductor de medios digitales o DMP es un dispositivo electrónico de entretenimiento doméstico, el cual puede conectarse a internet para emitir medios o archivos digitales como música, fotografías o videos. Los reproductores de medios digitales también pueden recibir archivos desde una computadora personal, o almacenamientos proveniente de la red u otro servidor en red, para reproducir tales archivos en una pantalla de televisión o en un proyector de video de teatro en casa. La mayoría de los reproductores multimedia digitales utilizan una interfaz de usuario de 3 metros, y muchos se operan y navegan a través de un control remoto. Algunos reproductores de medios digitales también tienen funciones de Televisión inteligente, como permitir a los usuarios reproducir archivos tales como versiones digitales de películas y programas de televisión, tanto desde internet o transmisiones de televisión.

Los reproductores multimedia digitales se introdujeron por primera vez en 2000. En la década de 2010, la principal diferencia entre un reproductor multimedia digital típico y los más avanzados fue la incorporación, en estos últimos, de un sintonizador de TV digital, capaz de recibir señales de transmisión de televisión por aire, por cable, satélite o IPTV.

Descripción
En la década de 2010, con la popularidad de los reproductores multimedia portátiles y las cámaras digitales, así como las rápidas velocidades de descarga de internet y el almacenamiento masivo relativamente barato, muchas personas llegaron a poseer grandes colecciones de archivos multimedia digitales que no se podían reproducir en un equipo analógico convencional, sin conectar una computadora a un televisor y a un amplificador de sonido. El rápido crecimiento en la disponibilidad de contenido en línea ha facilitado a los consumidores el uso de estos dispositivos y la obtención de contenido. YouTube, por ejemplo, es un complemento común disponible en la mayoría de los dispositivos en red. Netflix también ha llegado a acuerdos con muchos fabricantes de productos electrónicos de consumo para que su interfaz esté disponible en el menú del dispositivo, para sus suscriptores de streaming. Esta relación simbiótica entre Netflix y los fabricantes de productos electrónicos de consumo le ha ayudado a impulsar a Netflix a convertirse en el servicio de video de suscripción más grande de los EE. UU., utilizando hasta el 20% del ancho de banda de EE. UU. En las horas punta.

Los reproductores multimedia a menudo están diseñados para ser compactos y asequibles, y tienden a contar con pantallas de hardware pequeñas o inexistentes, con simples indicadores de luces LED para informar si el dispositivo está encendido. La navegación de la interfaz en el televisor generalmente se realiza con un control remoto infrarrojo, mientras que los reproductores multimedia digitales más avanzados ya vienen con controles remotos de alto rendimiento que permiten el control de la interfaz mediante sensores táctiles integrados. Algunos controles remotos también incluyen acelerómetros para funciones de mouse aéreo que permite acciones básicas de movimiento. La mayoría de los dispositivos de reproducción de medios digitales no pueden reproducir medios de audio o video físicos directamente, y en su lugar requieren que un usuario convierta estos medios en archivos digitales reproducibles. También suelen ser incapaces de grabar audio o video. En la década de 2010, también fue común encontrar la funcionalidad del reproductor de medios digitales integrada en otros dispositivos electrónicos de consumo, como reproductores de DVD, decodificadores, televisores inteligentes o incluso consolas de videojuegos.

Terminología
Los reproductores de medios digitales también se conocen comúnmente como: «digital media extender», «digital media streamers», «digital media hub», «digital media adapter» o «digital media receiver» (que no debe confundirse con el receptor AV que también se denominan «Digital Media Renderer»).

Características
Un reproductor de medios digitales puede conectarse a la red doméstica mediante una conexión inalámbrica (IEEE 802.11a, b, gy n) o una conexión por cable de Ethernet. Los reproductores multimedia digitales incluyen una interfaz que permite a los usuarios navegar a través de su biblioteca multimedia digital, buscar y reproducir archivos multimedia. Algunos reproductores multimedia digitales sólo manejan música; algunos manejan música e imágenes; algunos manejan música, fotos y videos; mientras que otros van más allá para permitir la navegación en internet o ver TV gracias a un sintonizador incorporado.

En la década de 2010, algunos de los reproductores de medios digitales independientes en el mercado eran AC Ryan, Asus, Apple (por ejemplo, Apple TV), NetGear (por ejemplo, modelos NTV y NeoTV), Dune, iOmega, Logitech, Pivos Group, Micca, Sybas (Popcorn Hour), Amkette EvoTV, D-Link, EZfetch, Fire TV, Android TV, Pinnacle, Xtreamer y Roku, solo por nombrar algunos. Los modelos en el mercado están cambiando con frecuencia.

Launching Our 25th Anniversary Celebration
Global Los Angeles
2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the Pacific Council on International Policy. We kicked off this special milestone celebration at last week's PolicyWest, our annual fall conference. Throughout the year ahead, we will highlight significant moments and people from our history and look forward to the next phase of our work.
For the Pacific Council, 25 years signify a milestone and a moment of reflection. We feel grateful for the community we've built and the impact our work has had on Angelenos and global policy.
PCIP 25 logo solid 3 color.jpg
25 years testify to a powerful foundation of leaders who are ready to lift up emerging leaders. It means new voices speaking up and being heard.
25 years have resulted in shared goals for global engagement and policies that work for the common good. The Pacific Council has been a space for people to come together, willing to learn and change and grow.
25 years also bring a renewed vision for the Pacific Council that sets us on a path—together—toward a future where our work makes a difference in the world.
The Pacific Council believes in a future where a spirit of internationalism drives global engagement and diverse perspectives inform policy.
In 2020, we are opening doors for you—our members—to have an impact on the issues you care about. This milestone, our 25th anniversary, marks a time of renewed energy to advance civic and global engagement while maintaining our values of nonpartisanship and inclusivity.
But the Pacific Council you know and love is not going anywhere. Our proven strength is convening and educating our members, and your understanding of the world is still core to our mission: to build Los Angeles and the West Coast for global impact.
2020 is a year of change for the world: major elections, climate shifts, migrations of people and ideas that will shape the next 25 years and beyond.
The Pacific Council is ready—join us.

On-demand video streaming dominates today's Internet traffic mix. For instance, Netflix constitutes a third of the peak time traffic in the USA. Nearly half of UK online households have accessed BBC's shows through its on-demand streaming interface, BBC iPlayer. Using UK-wide traces from BBC iPlayer as a case study, this talk will characterise users' content consumption at scale and discuss techniques that can be deployed at the edge by users to substantially decrease the load on the Internet. We will survey both well-known techniques such as peer-assisted video-on-demand, studying whether it works at scale, as well as new edge-caching mechanisms that can potentially be deployed today. We will conclude by exploring new directions for content-centric network architectures, to address the roots of the pain points observed in our user workload, in a "clean" fashion.
This talk is based on papers in IEEE J-SAC and IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking in 2016 and 2 publications in IEEE INFOCOM 2015.

CHINA Blogger Zhang Zhan faces 5 years jail time for Wuhan reports
November 20, 2020 13:51·
TOPSHOT- A memorial for Dr Li Wenliang who was the whistleblower of the Coronavirus Covid-19 that originated in Wuhan China and caused the doctors death in that city
The first patient with COVID-19 reportedly contracted the virus after he consumed a bat purchased at an exotic meat market in China's Wuhan.
The Pudong district prosecutor last week asked for five years in prison for blogger Zhang Zhan, according to the indictment sheet obtained yesterday by Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD). Authorities accused Zhang of "picking quarrels and stirring up trouble", a crime regularly used to jail political dissidents in China.
At least three disappeared in February.
Zhang is now being held in a detention facility in Shanghai where authorities reportedly force-fed her in late September in response to a hunger strike, according to RFA.
It later emerged the second, Chen Qiushi, had been placed under government supervision, while the whereabouts of the third journalist, Fang Bin, is still unknown. One, Li Zehua, reappeared in April saying he had been "quarantining".
According to Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD), an NGO working towards human rights in China, Zhang "reported numerous stories including the detentions of other independent reporters and harassment of families of victims seeking accountability from the epicentre via her WeChat, Twitter and YouTube accounts".
On 19 June, she was formally arrested in Shanghai.

The indictment sheet which was released on Monday alleges that, Zhan had shared "false" information through various text, video clips and online media sharing platforms such as WeChat, Twitter and YouTube. "She is now being accused of fabricating malicious and false information about the coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan and accepting interviews with overseas media", a source revealed.
A sentence of four to five years was recommended. Even though Zhang's family wanted her to stop the hunger strike, Zhang said she wouldn't give up so easily.
This is not the first time Zhang Zhan had a brush with the authorities.
Zhang also supported Hong Kong, was detained in 2019 as well. She was detained for more than two months and was reportedly forced to undergo psychiatric assessments while under custody.

John LaFarge and Louis Comfort Tiffany, two American painters, began to experience, independently from eachother, trying to produce a glass that had the capacity to create visual effects without painting it. Very soon, the two of them became competitors. In 1879 LaFarge created and patented the opalescent glass. Tiffany developed and popularized the product an soon enough his name became synonymous with it. Using complicated cuts and richly colored glass, disposed in layers that give a plus of texture and profoundness, the two became the main providers for churches, as well as for private residences. The process of using the copper foil as a substitute for lead, allowed Tiffany to create lampshades, well received once with the electric lightning. His style had several imitators, the opalescent galss remaining very popular until the end of the XIXth century.


The boxes of apples, each carefully wrapped in tissue paper, the rows of blackberry and apple jam and the sacks of potatoes in the cellar were all part of my grandmothers' kitchen. 'Putting it by' was as important as savings in the bank, especially during the war years when the house was full of evacuees from London. Wild and seasonal food was collected and preserved for leaner times.
My own obsession with preserving began in the seventies, when learning self-sufficiency seemed to be the only way we would survive the nuclear age. These days it is a celebration of the abundance of my garden and a way to share that abundance with my family and enjoy my produce out of season.
Drying foods removes the water from prepared food. This paralyses the micro organisms that create spoilage. Dehydration is best carried out at low temperatures. It is suited to nearly all fruits and vegetables, cooked foods and protein. It is important to remember that it needs to be stored in an airtight bag or container as dehydrated foods begin to spoil once water is added to them.
Drying food in the sun is practised in warmer countries. An oven that can be set to a very low setting or a pilot light can be used and electric dryers are fast and efficient and cost little to run. Air drying in bunches hung in the shade is the best method for soft leafy herbs, strings of chillies and corn cobs.
Cold smoking is a method of drying that is combined with salt and spices.
Hot smoking also involves cooking.
The acetic acid in vinegar has a disinfectant property and is the best choice. With weaker citruc acid, salt and mustard seed are added to increase the preservative properties. The pH of the pickling solution should be less than 4.0.
Wet pickles are often fermented as in the preparation of dill pickles, sauerkraut and kimchi.
Dry pickling is the process used to cure ham and bacon and involves salt, salt petre and spices.
Preserves is a pretty loose term. Here I apply it to chutneys, marmalades and jams and any other food that includes sugar or honey as a main ingredient. Using sugar draws the water out of raw foods which is usually (but not always) driven off by cooking.


Above my desk in my study is a framed print of the artist Hans Holbein's famous portrait of Saint Thomas More. It was given to me in one of my early assignments as a priest by a devout friend who grew up near More's home in England. She gave the print of More to me knowing my admiration and devotion to this saint, who gave away all in martyrdom in fidelity to Christ, his Church, and his conscience. To be more precise, Saint Thomas was martyred over the meaning of marriage. In this, he died in the pattern of Saint John the Baptist, who also lost his head over the truth about marriage.
This should strike us as familiar, given the current state of affairs sweeping through the United States and other developed "western" nations which are swiftly being secularized. Saint Thomas More (and Saint John Fisher, the bishop who was martyred for similar reasons and whose feast is celebrated with More) has become very relevant once again. To be sure, marriage and its meaning are not the only controversial issues; there is also the dilemma of conscience created by the HHS mandate and the provision of abortifacient drugs and contraceptives in insurance plans. Nevertheless, marriage and its meaning is at the center of many of the religious liberty issues of our day. My sense is that this will only intensify.
Last month, the Catholic Church in the United States began another "Fortnight for Freedom," a two week period of prayer and special events to highlight the importance of defending religious freedom. Fittingly, it began on the feast day of Saints Thomas More and John Fisher (June 22), and ended on July 4th, the day of our nation's independence. In our time we have been blessed with many more witnesses to this fundamental liberty: from the current courageous stance of Little Sisters of the Poor, to the Coptic Martyrs beheaded in their orange jump suits by ISIS for simply being Christians, to Blessed Oscar Romero who was assassinated at the altar for speaking out for justice, just to name a few. Let us keep this intention at the forefront of our prayer for the common good of our nation in this critical time, that what is so fundamental to justice and human dignity will be preserved and honored. Let us also pray that we may have the faith and courage to be true to our religious beliefs in the days ahead.
Saint Thomas More did not eagerly march to the guillotine. He did all that he could to "in conscience" avoid conflict with the king and the law of the land. His opponents would have none of it. They were insistent that he conform; his conscientious objection and silence were obnoxious to them. In the end, with no other options, he chose to surrender his life. In this, he provides a fitting model for civil disobedience for our season too.
This year, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is sponsoring an American tour of the relics of Saints Thomas More and John Fisher. They will make their way to several large cities from coast to coast; a reminder that religious freedom is a gift that must be defended, and that fidelity to the truth, evident in nature and revealed by God, is worthy of supreme sacrifice and suffering. May Jesus be our model and our strength.

Legrand Acquires Quiktron and C2G
Posted on February 6, 2014 by Home Controls in Connected Home
Legrand announced yesterday it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Lastar, Inc., including its Quiktron and C2G divisions. Quiktron is a leading manufacturer of copper and fiber optic cable assemblies for the data communications distribution channel. C2G is a recognized leader of cabling and connectivity products for the A/V and IT industries.
Legrand's acquisition of Lastar and its Quiktron and C2G brands would strengthen Legrand's position and capabilities in the data communications and A/V channels while simultaneously providing Legrand access to new customer segments.
"We are focused on providing a more integrated infrastructure solution including cable assemblies, connectivity, cabinets, racks, cable tray, and cable management solutions that will help address our customers' requirements for next-generation data communications demands," said John Selldorff, President and CEO, Legrand, North America. "The acquisition of these leading organizations underscores Legrand's commitment to strategic growth in the data communications and A/V channels."
Home Controls is a proud distributor of C2G (formerly Cables To Go). In addition, Home Controls also offers On-Q and NuVo product lines, existing Legrand brands.
New breeds of digital applications and an increasing demand for streaming content at home and at work have driven rapid growth in the data center and the continued buildout of higher bandwidth communication infrastructures. Given the industry trend toward pre-terminated cable assemblies, Legrand would now offer its customers a broader array of custom and pre-terminated copper and fiber cable assemblies that are designed for flexibility and efficient installation.
Consummation of the transaction is subject to the completion of conditions for closing, including the receipt of consents and the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which is anticipated within 30 – 60 days. Until such time, the companies will continue to operate independently.
The addition of Quiktron to Legrand's existing data communications product and service capabilities would provide customers a more complete and fully integrated end-to-end solution. Additionally, customers would find increased flexibility in design, installation and support services from one streamlined source. In joining Legrand, C2G would gain access to Legrand's global resources and capabilities in the acceleration of innovation, expansion of services, and the addition of select data communications and A/V products, over time, that are currently not available in their product catalog.
"Lastar's customers would undoubtedly benefit from the increased access to a diverse range of products and the complete turnkey suite of solutions that Legrand would offer" said Bill Diederich, President and CEO, Lastar, Inc. "Upon formal completion, the acquisition would create new growth potential for all parties involved as the data communications, A/V and IT landscapes continue to evolve."
"Lastar values providing customers an effortless experience, innovation in products and services, and caring for and communicating openly with its associates" said Mike Shane, Lastar Chairman and co-founder. "We are happy to find new owners 30 years after founding the company, who share those values and who will give our team the opportunity to take Lastar's achievements to the next level backed by the strength of a vibrant global company."

Massage Therapy is commonly used for loosening sore and tight muscles leading to a more relaxed you. Feeling better emotionally can help your body repair itself physically. Receiving bodywork often leaves a person feeling balanced and reconnected with self. Whether you are seeking relaxation, remediation, or holism, Massage Therapy can be very instrumental in helping you live your life well.
Known as the best type of relaxation massage, this therapeutic massage focuses mainly on physical and mental relaxation and will include strokes that will aid in loosening and relaxing muscle tissue over the entire body.
The goal of a Deep Tissue Massage is to work out underlying tension through penetrating finger pressure and long, slow strokes. Using the hand, forearm and elbow, knuckles and fist to apply the right amount of pressure, this massage targets specific trigger points with direct pressure. A variety of stretching and range of motion techniques will be used to increase mobility and tone the muscles.
Seated Massages are so ideal. A 15 minute massage can be very beneficial. Proven to improve job performance by relaxing tight muscles, reducing headaches, and back strain, this massage can be done in any attire. On-Site Seated Massage for businesses can be arranged two weeks in advance.
Muscle Release Technique sm (MRT) successfully addresses issues concerning many soft tissue dysfunctions. With the use of this technique, a muscle is stretched and a massage to the belly of the muscle is applied. Many sufferers can feel relief from problems such as sore feet from Plantar Fasciitis, pain in joints, knee pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic low back pain, migraine headaches, tendonitis, and more.
Cupping is the oldest practiced treatment in history. Archaeologists have found evidence of cupping dating back to 1,000BC and the earliest recorded use back in 281-341AD. Cupping pulls stagnation out of tissues and brings it to the skin level. Suctioning the surface of the tissue creates a negative space below so underlying wastes and toxins can be moved into the body's circulatory and lymphatic systems to be flushed out from the area. When the old is flushed away, fresh revitalized blood can take its place which re-supplies vital nutrients. Cupping is remarkably effective on the skin and muscles, and the circulatory, nervous, and digestive systems. Joints also benefit with increased range of motion.
Thai Massage is commonly known as "yoga massage" or I call it assisted yoga. The receiver is on a mat on the floor, clothed in loose clothing, and is completely passive throughout the session which usually lasts 90 mins, but a shortened version can be done in 60 mins. With this type of "massage", there are no oils, lotions, and there is no rubbing of the muscles using typical strokes. Instead, the giver compresses, stretches, pulls and rocks the body in a rhythmic fashion. After receiving a Thai Massage, you will feel lighter, looser, and stretched out.
With Continuing Education and Experience, I have learned many techniques that I can incorporate into a Bodywork session. Whether it is stretching, using an ancient Thai Massage method, or following a trigger point to its source, I would be honored to assist your body in going beyond relaxation so you can live your life well.
