County Commissioner Claims to be Half Pregnant, Half Guilty
Former county commissioner denies culpability as sentencing date approaches
Comments 32 | Recommend 5
Jeremy Roebuck
McALLEN — Her sentencing date is nearly two months away. But the wrangling over how much time — if any — former Hidalgo County Commissioner Sylvia Handy should spend in prison has already begun.
The federal government continues to maintain that she concocted an elaborate scheme to avoid paying for housekeeping and babysitting services between 2001 and 2007 by putting her undocumented domestic help on the county payroll.
But in court filings last week, Handy's defense shot down prosecutors' descriptions of these so-called "ghost" government employees who never did any actual work for the county.
More on Sylvia Handy
The commissioner never knew most of the women working in her home were in the country illegally, wasn't aware they lied about their legal status to land county jobs and made no money off of their illegal employment, her attorney Al Alvarez wrote in an April 26 filing.
The dispute sets up an argument over what exactly Handy did and didn't know and how much it hurt county taxpayers. The outcome of that fight could land her in prison for up to 10 years or let her off without spending a day behind bars.
"(Sylvia Handy) did not create a ghost employee scheme nor did she utilize funds from Hidalgo County," Alvarez wrote. "Any employees of the county were hired by the county's human resources department and were paid by the county treasurer."
QUALIFIED ADMISSIONS
Handy, 52, pleaded guilty to one count each of tax evasion and conspiracy to harbor an illegal immigrant in March. But in entering her plea, she kept her admissions of guilt to a minimum.
The unusually detailed 65-page indictment in the case accused the four-term commissioner of putting the undocumented women who worked in her home on the payroll of her Precinct 1 office so that she wouldn't have to pay them out of her own pocket.
To cover up her scheme she provided the women with fraudulent identification documents, conducted sham interviews and claimed credits on her federal tax returns suggesting that she was paying the women for their domestic work herself, prosecutors allege.
While the counts to which Handy pleaded only involved one of those illegal workers, she maintained during her re-arraignment hearing that both violations of the law were unintentional.
She claimed the child care tax credit under a false name not to hide the fact that her babysitter was an undocumented immigrant but because she had forgotten to change the name on her tax forms from that of a previous woman she paid to watch her children, she said.
As for immigrant harboring, Handy wasn't aware of the worker's lack of legal status when she helped her get a county job. And despite being here illegally, the woman dutifully performed the tasks of a precinct maintenance worker during the time of her employment, her attorney maintained.
U.S. District Judge Ricardo Hinojosa balked at these heavily qualified admissions during the March 8 hearing and warned the now-former commissioner to come to her sentencing prepared to accept full responsibility.
"The court's not interested in you not admitting things that are so obvious anyone can see it," he said. "If you don't want to plead guilty just say so, but don't stand there and lie about it."
FULL RESPONSIBILITY
Sentences in the federal system are determined after the government prepares an advisory recommendation to the judge and defense lawyers have had a chance to object to prosecutors' interpretation of the facts. While a defendant may plead guilty to only specific counts, federal judges are given broad leeway to consider other related criminal conduct when settling on a final sentence.
So while Handy's attorney carefully selected the tax evasion and conspiracy counts to which she eventually pleaded, many of the government's extraneous allegations against her could come into play in Hinojosa's decision.
Alvarez, her attorney, has challenged a number of those accusations in objections filed with the court, including:
>> government claims that the commissioner tried to influence potential witnesses against her during the run-up to her trial. Alvarez argues that while Handy was told to have no contact with witnesses, no specific names were ever mentioned to her;
>> allegations that she provided fraudulent documents to help the women land county jobs. The lawyer denies this and maintains that ultimately it was the county's human resources staff who failed to identify the documents as fake;
>> and accusations that the women never did any work for the county, bilking taxpayers out of more than $200,000 in salary and retirement benefits. Alvarez insists that each of them did actually perform the duties that came with their county jobs.
"There were no financial losses to Hidalgo County when an employee did the work, even though they had a false identity," he wrote.
But as her June 23 sentencing date approaches, Handy herself seems to be attempting to hedge those bets — standing by her relative innocence through her attorney, yet attempting the show the judge's she's ready for whatever he hands down.
"I accept full responsibility for my actions," she wrote in affidavit she filed with the court last week. "I am truly sorry for the trouble I have caused the government, family and myself."
Handy's sentencing is scheduled for June 23.
Jeremy Roebuck covers courts and general assignments for The Monitor.
Editor's Note: This is the second convicted felon who has told Federal Judge Ricardo Hinojosa that they are only half guilty, half pregnant. (The other felon is Arnulfo Olivarez, insurance felon convicted of bribery). What is the Judge to do? He must feel tremendous anxiety in having to pass judgment on such complicated cases. What would Solomon do?

I managed to upload to S3 bucket using the normal 'Add Images' button by hooks to 'userController_pluginname_create'. However it's not working on the Advance Editor, when I click the Editor 'Attach Image' and select the file, it's showing 'The file failed to upload'. The error logs doesn't show anything related. I tried hooks to 'GDN_Upload_saveAs_handler' still shows same 'The file failed to upload' error.
On the chrome dev console it throws 'Uncaught Error: Invalid clickable option provided. Please provide a CSS selector, a plain HTML element or a list of those.' which is related to dropzone.js files. What is our hooks to Advance Editor Image upload? Or is it on the Advance Editor Plugin?
BTW, Advance Editor post format settings is Wyssiwyg.
The advanced editor makes use of Gdn_Upload, too. Therefore gdn_upload_saveAs_handler is fired and must be used to upload to S3.
The error that you are quoting complains about the "clickable" option. You should check where that is used in your code. I do not find it in the advanced editors source. Could it be that you have made (wrong) use of it?
By the way: if you have a working plugin to upload to S3, it would be great if you could publish it. I bet many people would like to see something like that.
@R_J I'll consult my Boss first if I can publish the plugin, it's company owned.
BTW, I managed to upload to s3 using the Advance Editor, my little challenge is the images uploaded from editor still showing the local path (uploads/editor/...). I guess I have to put condition on the theme.
I'm not sure I understand that little problem, but make sure that you are not fooled by "old" information stored in the Media table.
If that problem also comes up with newly uploaded files, you should inspect the editors methogetBaseUploadDestinationDir() which I would assume will always return 'uploads/editor' the way it is used in the editor.
@R_J how do I hook the image source path, currently all images uploaded using the advance editor are pulling up the image from /uploads/editor folder, while all the images uploaded using the add images button are pulling up images from our s3 bucket. I can see that images uploaded using advance editor are also on our s3 bucket, so i want to change the image src of the images uploaded using the advance editor from 'uploads/editor/...' to our s3 bucket path.
I'm looking at 'discussionController_Render_Before' hooks, but how do I hook the image src?
Is the info in the Media table correct or does it already show the wrong /uploads/editor path?
In the media table it show's correct path. It show's editor/... if uploaded using editor, it shows comment/... or discussion/... if uploaded using Add images button.
I tried changing the getBaseUploadDestinationDir basepath it did not work. I'm not sure it's problem with destination folder since it's saving on uploads/editor folder & on our s3 bucket. The only challenge is when displaying those images, if uploaded from editor img src is the "uploads/editor + img path" while if uploaded using the add image button, it's img src is our "s3 bucket + img path".
Is there like a hook before discussion render to update all img src?
* Returns an img tag.
If you add a "function img()" below your plugin, you would be able to change that function.
But I'm not sure that this is the best approach. You should find the place where the "uploads/editor" is build and try to correct it there.
Which view is displaying the wrong path? Or is it shown wrong inside a discussion/comment?
Discussion view & discussion with comment view.
* Returns the url prefix for a given type.
* themselves by subscribing to the Gdn_Upload_GetUrls_Handler event. After that they will be available here.
* @param string $type The type of upload to get the prefix for.
* @return string The url prefix.
If you ask me, your plugin should add a "namespace" to newly saved images because otherwise it would never be possible to differentiate between images still and only available locally and images only available on S3.
it is needed for this solution, too.
So you would have to save your file as "S3:editor/123.jpg" and then you need to "install" a handler for your own "S3-protocol".
After that, decho(Gdn_Upload::url('S3:editor/123.jpg')); will show amazon/S3/editor/123.jpg which I guess is what you need.
How do I use the gdn_upload_getUrls_handler $args 'S3' to update the image src?
Personally I think you are approaching this the wrong way, either symlink the uploads folder to the mounted and linked storage or change the uploads directory by predefining the constant in boostrap.before.php (due to a bug this must be a relative path), which will prevent it from being overwritten.
The idea is, that your plugin has to mark an entry in the Media table somehow so that you can distinguish between uploads which have happened without your plugin (to local disc) and with your plugin (to amazon).
That is a requirement that your plugin needs to fulfill if it is set up correct and clean.
When saving the file, you have to make sure that the path in the Media table reads "S3:editor/whatever" and that is the way to distinguish normal uploads form uploads made with the plugin.
The getUrls handler fires when the Upload::url() method is used. It allows you to replace "S3:" with whatever is needed. Therefore I think it is needed that you save the files in a similar structure in the bucket. So if the Path field shows "S3:editor/123/abc.png", you have to be able to access the file by "whateverurlisneededhere.com/maybe/some/other/path/here/editor/123/abc.png"
Media table path captures the folder name + image name (folder names are either discussion, comment, editor ...). There's a column in Media table "StorageMethod" (it labels 's3' if using the add image button & labels 'local' if using the wysiwyg), I may have to look into that since the forum has been running for years now, saving it on different path might break old images.
Apology for the hassle, I'll update this post for any progress.
Fixed it through js, intercepted the add image on editor with s3 functions.


I have always thought "meta" to be "most effective tactic available"
Is there a way to disable the damage numbers above the target while retaining the damage numbers next to your health?
while on the topic, what's the best crosshair for medic?
genius415 genius415Hi i would like to move the weapon inspection panel (that comes up when you press F/+inspect) a little higher. Which variables and which .res file should I edit? Many thanks in advance. anyone? is it as simple as a ypos?
PhunkHow do I add a small medic ubercharge counter under the crosshair?
If you want it like the one in the picture i posted above, you need to make the hudmediccharge in hudlayout.res wide and tall enough to fit the lower half of your screen (or the full screen). Then you can edit/reposition the individual elements in hudmediccharge.res in resource/ui (ChargeLabel is what you want). Beware this will mess up position of other elements like the vaccinator stuffs so you will have to reposition them too.
If what you want is a second counter under the crosshair, you can copy paste the ChargeLabel and rename it but you will probably end up with the same problem I described in my previous post.
I have created a shadow for the charge label but when I switch to vacc, the shadow stays. Is there a way I can make it so it doesn't?
i believe flat world does that. try removing it.
I swear they both have the same definition. What am I missing? How do I make the first button not rounded?
Interesting. Changing my vtf files causes it to go complete black background (when on main menu; loads fine).
For some huds the custom backgroud is high quality when loading at the start but degrades in quality when at main menu, while others like 7hud manages to retain the quality in main menu. What causes this?
Anyone aware of what's causing this, if not I will wait for your mod hopefully.
Is there a way you can make the water more transparent? I mean it's almost impossible to see a player inside water with clean tf2 installed (although that's a problem only in 2fort I think but I would still like it to be more transparent :p). I use the flat, door_fix and misc_removal only.
How do you reposition closed captions?

Silicon Valley's Draper University Offering Free Online Bitcoin Course
Draper University of Heroes, venture capitalist Tim Draper's eponymous entrepreneurship school in San Mateo, announced in a release Tuesday that it would begin to offer a free online course in Bitcoin.
The course is powered through the school's partnership with ZapChain and is designed to accommodate even those with no prior knowledge of Bitcoin or technical understand of things such as blockchains or cryptography.
"This new exciting online course brings together a host of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and engineers from Silicon Valley all operating in the Bitcoin space," the university said in its release. "With such a wide range of participants, students will be exposed to a plethora of ideas regarding the Bitcoin protocol, its current and potential uses, and its ability to change the world as we know it."
The course will leverage the knowledge of the ZapChain network of Bitcoin professionals — a network with a member for "every major Bitcoin company," the release notes — to deliver what it hopes will be a robust fundamental understanding of the Bitcoin protocol and currency.
"The largest problem in the Bitcoin adoption world right now is education and this is the best Bitcoin education course online," Boost CEO Adam Draper said in the statement. "It answers all the questions by giving access to the experts in the Bitcoin space; no one else has done this in a quality way."
The course will launch on October 22, and interested students can sign up here.
Draper University and its Founder
Draper University, to be clear, is not the same kind of institute of higher learning most people imagine when they think of American universities: tree-lined walkways, football on Saturdays, frat parties. Instead, it is designed to teach and turn out educated potential entrepreneurs, either through its residence learning program or its online learning program.
The school began accepting bitcoin tuition payments in the summer of 2013, and Draper himself is perhaps best known in the community as the guy who bought the Silk Road auction bitcoins. In April, Draper called Bitcoin "the smartest tech investment" out there.
Other Universities and Bitcoin
Draper University joins a list of other learning institutions offering courses on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. Others include Coin Academy, Stanford University and the University of Nicosia in Cyprus.
"We would agree that the largest problem in the Bitcoin adoption world right now is education," said Stephen DeMeulenaere, co-founder of Coin Academy. He added:
"Many people cannot afford to go to university any more. Many who have are still burdened by loans, and at least a few are traumatized by years spent in a vacuum. The way people are learning is changing. The technologies for learning are changing. Learning is also being disintermediated, decentralized and in some ways distributed."
In the last two years, Bitcoin has made inroads at universities around the world. As Jeremy Gardner, co-founder of the Cryptocurrency College Network, told Cointelegraph in September:
"Youth of our generation ... have had their worldview shaped by endless war, massive financial improprieties by banks 'too big to fail,' and a resulting economic recession that affected the lives of each and every one of us. So to young people, Bitcoin makes a lot more sense."
Besides CCN's growing membership base, some recent examples of Bitcoin finding a niche on college campuses include:
Simon Fraser University in British Columbia accepting bitcoin donations,
the NFC payments device created by students at the University of Zurich,
the Bitcoin ATM Seattle startup Coinme installed at the University of Washington,
Vancouver-based University of British Colombia Gets Its First Bitcoin Club.
ETH Miners Will Have Little Choice Once Ethereum 2.0 Launches With PoS

These Affordable Noise Canceling Headphones From Mixcder Are Great Value For Money
Mark Sparrow
Technology journalist specializing in audio, computing and photography
Mixcder E9 ANC headphones provide up to 24 hours of playing time on a single charge.
Mixcder
Noise-canceling headphones are great for cutting out much of the extraneous noise on planes and trains. A good pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones can banish up to 90% of extraneous noise. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's virtually impossible to listen to music properly on a flight without ANC headphones.
The drawback with the technology used in noise-canceling headphones is that it can be a bit expensive if really well implemented. Both the Bose QC35 and the excellent Sony WH-1000MX3 will set you back at least $300. They're worth every penny but not everyone wants to spend that much on a pair of ANC headphones.
Stepping into this gap in the market is Mixcder with the E9 Active Noise Canceling Bluetooth headphones at a very affordable $79. The first thing to note about these budget headphones is how light they feel despite housing 40mm dynamic drivers and a substantial rechargeable battery. The headphones are presented in a smart zippered hard case that's perfect for protecting them when traveling. The Mixcder E9 look reasonably well made despite their lightweight feel, and even the vegan leather ear cushions have a soft and high-quality feel about them that is rarely seen at this price point.
The Mixcder E9 can be used with or without ANC turned on, and they can be set up to work wirelessly over Bluetooth or wired, using the supplied headphone lead. If the battery charge runs out you can still carry on listening using the cable.
The battery contained in the headphones is a Lithium-Ion unit that can deliver up to 30 hours of wireless listening without noise canceling turned on, and around 24 hours of continuous listening with ANC working and is fully charged in just 2.5 hours. That's more than enough for a week's worth of commuting or a couple of very long flights. The headphones can be recharged using the supplied Micro USB cable. I'd prefer to have seen a USB C charging port but that's possibly asking a bit much at this price point. And speaking of flights, there is a two-pin aircraft adaptor supplied which can be used with the entertainment systems in some aircraft.
The comfort of the affordable Mixcdr E9 is rare at this price point.
When it comes to Bluetooth performance, the Mixcder E9 use Bluetooth 4.0 but there's no support for the higher quality aptX or AAC codecs, so the E9s are strictly limited to the basic SBC protocol; there can be no claims to deliver CD-quality audio. That said, I find that active noise-canceling headphones tend to introduce enough hiss and processing artifacts that it's pointless in having a very high-quality Bluetooth codec on an affordable pair of ANC headphones. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find the E9 headphones were really pleasant to listen to. The Bluetooth implementation is good with none of the squeals and interference that some cheap Bluetooth gear can inflict on music. These headphones have an enjoyable level of bass and plenty of detail in the treble, although the mid-range isn't quite as forward as I would like. Everyone's hearing is different and the younger market that these headphones are aimed at will probably have better hearing than someone of my advanced years so this is definitely a case of trying them and see if you like the sound.
Active Noise Canceling technology is a tough nut to crack on a budget. In my experience, Bose and Sony lead the way in noise-canceling technology at the moment, and that's why they cost much more than headphones like the Mixcdr E9. Most other ANC headphones trail somewhere behind these two brands for now. The Mixcder E9 make a reasonable attempt to cut out extraneous noises, and they work best with lower rumbles such as the sound of aircraft engines or the clickety-clack of a train running over railway tracks. They're less successful with randomly changing sounds like conversations occurring at different noise levels, but at this price, the E9 headphones function pretty well.
Active Noise Canceling can be turned on instantly using the ANC switch on the left ear cup.
As well as incorporating microphones to sample external noises and then filter them out with audio processing, the Mixcder E9 also include an omnidirectional microphone for taking and making phone calls and that works pretty well. Controls on the headphones are limited to a power switch and two volume buttons on the right-hand ear cup, while a lone ANC switch is sited on the left ear cup. A combination of button presses can control things like skipping tracks, pausing music and accepting or ending phone calls. It's all fairly straightforward.
Comfort levels on the Mixcder E9 is good, with enough pressure from the padded headband to keep the headphones in place, and sufficient size adjustment to accommodate most heads. In fact, the E9 headphones are far more comfortable than other models at this price point, and that's a really essential feature if they're going to be used on long-haul flights in noise-canceling mode.
Verdict: If you haven't tried noise-canceling headphones before and fancy giving them a try, the Mixcder E9 headphones are worth a go at this price. They're not the best noise cancelers on the market and they do lack support for more advanced Bluetooth codecs, but for everyday use, they're more than satisfactory. The construction is mostly plastic and a bit lightweight, so I'm unsure whether they could stand long-term use. The zippered hard case should help to keep them in good condition but there's no point pretending that these headphones come anywhere near the build quality and comfort levels of the superb but more-expensive Sony WH-1000MX3.

When Does the Mind-Bending Start?
The Life and Times of World of Twist
By: Gordon King
Narrated by: Gordon King
4.9 out of 5 stars 4.9 (11 ratings)
Welcome to World of Twist: the greatest lost band of all time.
While fame, glory and untold riches seemed like an inevitability for this group at the turn of the '90s, the world was simply not ready for a band of retro futurists, psychedelic adventurers and cosmic tunesmiths. Too late for Madchester, too early for Britpop and too much fun to pigeonhole, World of Twist went on to face a demoralising string of 'what could have been's.
First, their debut single, 'The Storm', peaked two places outside of the UK top 40, meaning they missed out on a guaranteed Top of the Pops spot; then, when they were close to signing with Alan McGee's Creation Records, the label decided to go with an unknown band called Oasis instead. Finally, World of Twist fell apart in a torrent of drugs, mental illness, musical differences, sartorial contretemps and all-round shoulder-shrugging apathy.
But they burned bright and left an indelible mark on everyone who looked deep into their light, including fellow Mancunians and Oasis superstars Noel and Liam Gallagher.
Now, for the first time, co-founder, guitarist and principal songwriter Gordon King tells the incredible inside story of his time with the band. Revealing the jealousy, anguish and personal demons experienced by the clashing personalities of King and late singer Tony Ogden, this compelling memoir is the story of triumph, tragedy, comedy, drama, demise and recovery.

What listeners say about When Does the Mind-Bending Start?
Anthony Chapman
essential oral history
Loved this. stories of bands who nearly were are often much more interesting than the big stars of the time. particularly recommended if you made music to scant or no success in the 90s.
M. E. Doherty
A book about WoT!
I remember buying Quality Street on CD when it was first released and thinking it was quite odd and all the more likeable for that reason. I knew of Tony Ogden's sad passing but almost nothing else about World of Twist. Gordon King's book is an autobiography about his growing up and how WoT formed and imploded. It's his story to tell how he likes and it's very well done. Good writing and a nicely expressive reading. I listened to it over a 48 hour period ad it rattles along in a very entertaining fashion. I always felt a bit baffled about the strange disappearance of World of Twist but this book illuminates a quite sad tale of how sometimes talent isn't enough when you don't have luck

Orioles rally from early deficit, wait out long rain delay for 6-4 win over Rangers
With three consecutive wins against the Texas Rangers, including Wednesday's come-from-behind, rain-soaked 6-4 victory, an obvious question has arisen.
Manny Machado who?
OK, maybe it's not really a burning sentiment at this point. But since the Orioles' Platinum Glove third baseman began serving his five-game suspension Monday -- leaving the Orioles roster short one player -- they haven't lost.
"It's impressive, but it doesn't surprise me," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of his club's 3-0 record with 24 players. "The whole group, I was real proud of them tonight."
Life without Machado kicked up a notch Wednesday in the seventh inning.

Ryan Flaherty, Machado's temporary replacement at third base, smacked a 91-mph fastball from Texas left-hander Neal Cotts (2-5) onto the flag court beyond right field to give the Orioles a one-run lead and ultimately another win.
It took some time, though.
Play was suspended for 1 hour and 38 minutes with one out in the bottom of the eighth. By the time the game resumed around 11:50 p.m., no more than 200 of the announced 13,478 -- the smallest crowd this season at Camden Yards -- remained.
For chunks of time during the delay it wasn't raining. But with the game just five outs away from completion, the threat of more rain kept the tarp on the field.
"The frustrating thing is the no rain. It's not raining, so you want to play. We're out here to play," said closer Zach Britton, who remained in the bullpen with coach Dom Chiti during the delay and then threw just 10 pitches in a perfect ninth for his 11th save in 13 chances. "Get that game over with. You're so close to the end, and you're sitting out there, and it's not raining. It's frustrating. When the rain comes, I think the hardest part is just staying engaged in the game."

The Orioles (45-39) are now six games over .500, tying their season high from May 10 when they were 20-14. They also have achieved a winning record at home (22-21) for the first time since May 12. And they remain one game behind the American League East-leading Toronto Blue Jays (47-39), who beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 7-4, on Wednesday.
The Orioles will go for the four-game sweep Thursday against the injury-depleted Rangers (37-47) and their ace, right-hander Yu Darvish. And they hope to keep hitting home runs.
Center fielder Adam Jones hit a solo shot in the fourth, his 16th homer of the season, and Flaherty's fourth of the year provided the eventual game-winner in the seventh. It was the sixth straight game in which the Orioles have gone deep at least twice and their 25th multihomer game in their last 42.
All of Flaherty's homers this season have come at Camden Yards. His homer Wednesday was the 20th of his career and just his third against a left-hander. If the Orioles were at full strength, he likely wouldn't have gotten that at-bat.
"Lefty comes into the game, and I'm just trying to stay closed on him, fight him the other way, and he left a pitch 3-1 over the plate," Flaherty said. "In the situation with the roster the way it is I [knew I] might have to take that at-bat and then just try and contribute."

Through five innings, the Orioles' top starter, Chris Tillman, was outpitched by Miles Mikolas, a converted reliever who had never made a major league start and had never before pitched for the Rangers in a regular season game.
Mikolas, who made a combined 27 appearances for the San Diego Padres in the past two years, hadn't yet pitched in the majors this year. He was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Round Rock after the Rangers designated former Orioles left-hander Joe Saunders for assignment.
On his first pitch, Mikolas induced Nick Markakis to ground out -- part of an 11-pitch perfect inning for the 25-year-old right-hander. He cruised through five innings, allowing just three hits and the one run on Jones' homer. He almost gave up another home run, but Rangers center fielder Leonys Martin jumped at the wall to rob Nelson Cruz of his 27th home run.
In the sixth, Mikolas walked the first two batters he faced -- the only two he allowed in the game -- and he was removed for right-hander Jason Frasor after throwing just 77 pitches.
The Orioles pounced on Frasor, though the 36-year-old veteran partially caused his own trouble.

After Frasor's wild pitch allowed the runners to move up a base, Jones hit a sacrifice fly, and Cruz followed with an RBI single to left field. Frasor walked Chris Davis and J.J. Hardy singled to tie the game.
The Orioles added two more runs in the seventh on Flaherty's homer and an RBI single by Jones. Making a late push for his third consecutive All-Star Game appearance, Jones drove in a run in three consecutive plate appearances and now has 52 RBIs on the season.
The club also benefited from another strong bullpen effort -- 3 1/3 scoreless innings combined from Brad Brach (2-0), Darren O'Day and Britton, who is now tied for the team lead in saves with Tommy Hunter, whom Britton replaced as closer on May 15.
Those performances handed Tillman a no-decision, despite a shaky outing. Entering Wednesday night, Tillman had surrendered just five runs total in his past four starts -- all quality outings -- spanning 28 innings. With two outs in the third inning Wednesday, he already had permitted four runs (three earned).
"It was a grind. It wasn't good," Tillman said. "I made some pitches when I had to. I had some stuff. I was consistently behind in the count."

Entering Wednesday night, Tillman had surrendered just five runs total in his past four starts -- all quality outings -- spanning 28 innings. With two outs in the third inning Wednesday he already had permitted four runs (three earned) and dealt with a bit of a controversy.
Tillman also was on the mound for a little controversy in the third inning. After Shin-Soo Choo walked, Tillman threw a high-and-tight fastball that Elvis Andrus inexplicably swung at and fouled off. Immediately, home plate umpire Toby Basner signaled catcher's interference and sent Andrus to first -- to the protests of Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph.
The four umpires met and discussed the play and upheld Basner's ruling.
After that scrum, Showalter argued the call for several minutes -- his most protracted argument of the season -- but the catcher's interference call is not challengeable by video review. In one slow-motion television replay, however, Andrus' bat did appear to hit Joseph's glove before striking the ball.
"They got it right, and I was wrong, because I had gotten some information that it was a foul tip initially," Showalter said. "Looking back, I'm glad I didn't make a complete jerk of myself. I would not have been that vehement if I had known what I know now. Toby got it right."
The call was fairly significant: Two batters later, Adrian Beltre slapped a double down the right-field line to score Choo and Andrus, who just beat the relay throw at home plate from Jonathan Schoop. Beltre later scored on a two-out single by Martin to give the Rangers a 4-0 lead.
Tillman didn't give up many hard hits Wednesday, and he certainly was better than his last outing against the Rangers -- in Arlington on June 4, when he was tagged for five earned runs in one inning.
But after his promising recent run of four quality starts, Tillman struggled with his command Wednesday, throwing only 60 of his 111 pitches for strikes in 5 2/3 innings. He allowed seven hits and four walks while striking out two.
"We were fortunate that he held them to four runs through that, and [he] came close to getting six innings in," Showalter said.
Yet these hard-to-figure Orioles rose above the insufficient outing and a torrential downpour to win again -- despite having only 24 players on their active roster.
"It's sum of the parts, for sure. It can't be the same guys every night," Flaherty said. "And [Machado's suspension is] an opportunity for other guys to get in there and try to contribute and help the team win."

It's the second day of the IBM & Ogilvy hackathon, designed to help consumers around the universal theme of health and wellness.
Our teams worked well into the night and some were at in again from the early hours of this morning. The ideas are continuing to develop, prototypes are being made and re-made, and a lot of pizza has been eaten as we move closer to the big reveal tomorrow.
Yesterday saw ideas beginning to become objects via the medium of 3D printing. A day later and these objects have been tested, refined and re-made. This new way of working for agencies takes the maker culture and embeds it within our industry. In the space of only one day, the makers at Makerspace have produced tangible objects for our teams. This way of working not only speeds up the creative process, it expands the process itself by changing the way we think. When the option to build ideas at speed is added into the creative process, it completely transforms the way ideas are conceived and opens up a new realm of possibilities.
Our teams have a huge number of tools and products at their disposal and have not been shy about experimenting. For example, some of our teams have been using Alexa to talk to Watson. By coming up with ideas built from a cocktail of all of the available tools and products, our teams are creating unique experiences that did not exist 24 hours ago - new products, new experiences and new interactions.
Innovation is not simply about a space. Nor is it created by a specific process or the intensity of the task at hand. Innovation doesn't magically happen when we work with no interruptions, no client meetings or worries about the next meal. Alone these separate elements won't work to create innovation. However, when we put all of these things together as we have done in our hackathon, a platform for innovation is created.

Q: accessing the a form within another linked project, bypassing the entry point i have three projects  that i have linked via referencing the other two to the main one, is there  a way to access a  form of the within the other project (not the entry point/form) of that project  but any form within.
once user have logged in to the other app/project and linked to the other app, I want to enable them to return to a point within the app/project they linked from bypassing the login page,
right now Im trying this using a class library that is referenced to all the projects, and im trying to access the form with the idea below:
namespace ClassLibrary1
{
    public class universalClass
    {

        public void showLanding()

        {
           dummyClientCare.dummyClientCareForm1 LandingForm = new dummyClientCare.dummyClientCareForm1();
            MultiPlierStaffSy.LandingForm LDF = new MultiPlierStaffSy.LandingForm();
            //or some code here to show the LandingForm of the other project
        }

    }
}

but in the above class im getting an error

the type or namespace 'LandingForm' does not exit in the namespace 'MultiPlierStaffSy' (are you missing an assembly reference)

my question is there any way to accomplish the primary goal of bypassing the entry point and go straight to some form deep within the other project when switching between, and also can I accomplish with the class library I just created and referenced.. thanks in advance for your suggestions.

A: You can use an application project type (creates an .exe file) as a class library. Just add a reference to it from the project. Make sure you don't have a circular reference.
However the correct way to do this would be to move the form you wish to share into a class library and reference that from both projects.

Eliminating single-use plastic waste while quenching thirst
By Aric Sleeper
Staying hydrated is important for many reasons, but for those who can't trust the tap and also don't want to contribute to the 2,000 plastic water bottles already used every second, drinking water can be a challenge. Rich Razgaitis, founder and CEO of FloWater, wanted to make drinking purified water and eliminating plastic waste easier and more convenient with an advanced water purifying refill station. Here, he fills us in on his mission.
Tell us about the refill stations.
FloWater's refill station technology is unmatched by any other water-delivery system, with a water purification process that removes up to 99.9 percent of all contaminants, including chlorine, fluoride, lead, heavy metals and other environmental toxins, delivering the ultimate experience. The stations also alkalize, oxygenate, and add minerals and electrolytes to the purified water for better hydration. A coconut carbon filter finishes the water for a clean, crisp taste. FloWater refill stations are also self-sanitizing and feature an on-demand delivery system that provides perfectly chilled water in less than 10 seconds.
How have you seen FloWater benefit people and the environment at the ground level?
Since our launch in 2013, we have saved more than 100 million single-use plastic water bottles from the environment and are on target to hit one billion by 2022. Beyond this positive impact on the environment, our survey outcomes show that where FloWater refill stations are integrated into the workplace users report they're substantially more hydrated, productive, energetic, and experience more restful sleep.
Perhaps, most importantly are the outcomes. When we deploy a FloWater unit into a hotel, school, corporation, gym, or retailer, depending upon the audience, we'll frequently see greater than an 80-percent reduction in single-use plastics and a two to five times increase in daily water consumption in addition to a reduction in coffee and soda consumption.
What are your hopes for FloWater moving forward?
I want us to be the company that sets the stage for a radical redefinition of how we view, consume, drink and treat water—a precious commodity. We are in the middle of a mega-trend moving away from plastic. We're also facing growing concerns around tap water, some perceived, and others well founded. We all feel a deep responsibility to make an enduring imprint, and in the process, to build a great company that delivers a product people love that compels them to drink more water while also eliminating single use plastic bottle waste.

Wastewater sample tests may indicate COVID case increase
by: Zach Fisher
DES MOINES, Iowa (WHO) — Over the summer the City of Des Moines participated in a study where samples of wastewater were taken to see COVID-19 concentration in the water.
Just last week, the Des Moines Metro Wastewater Reclamation Authority (WRA) recorded the highest virus concentration throughout the span of the study, which can be found here. The purpose of the study is to see what the COVID-19 case count could look like in the area.
The last time that the WRA recorded a peak in virus concentration in wastewater was back in September, which coincided with the peak in COVID-19 cases in the month. An employee of the WRA said that the results from just this last week were unexpected.
"It was kind of surprising. We are hoping that like all data sets that is could just be an anomaly," said Larry Hare, the WRF Treatment Manager at the Des Moines Metro Wastewater Reclamation Authority. "We will find out in the next week to come. We will have more data to tie with it and see if it is trending up as sharply."
The reason why the results came as a shock is because the virus concentration in the wastewater has been going down since September. But the rise in concentration may hint at another case increase in the near future.
"This is part of our mission statement at the Wastewater Reclamation Authority to protect the public health," said Hare. "That is why were are doing this. We are protecting the public health, we are letting them know what is going on, what is in their wastewater."
More test results are coming from a sample later this week. The WRA posts bi-weekly results and they can be found here.

How long before our spacecraft reach other stars?
Some of NASA's space probes have already left the solar system but it might take tens of thousands of years before any arrive in a sensible vicinity to a star system.
byTibi Puiu
inNews, Space
The Voyager 2 probe, which left Earth in 1977, has become the second human-made object to leave our Solar System in 2018. Credit: NASA.
In the 1970s, NASA launched four unnamed probes — Pioneer 10 and 11, and Voyager 1 and 2 — tasked with various missions surveying the solar system and its outer planets. After completing their missions, these spacecraft were left on course to fly outside the solar system, with some already exiting it. This raises the exciting possibility that these probes might cross paths with other stars. If that's the case, when can expect such an event to happen?
That's the premise of a new study authored by Coryn Bailer-Jones and Davide Farnocchia, a pair of astronomers at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, respectively.
The two researchers turned to data from the Gaia space telescope. Launched in 2013 by the European Space Agency, Gaia has mapped the positions of more than 1 billion stars to the highest precision yet of any mission, greatly facilitating astronomers' efforts to understand stellar evolution and history.
Using one of Gaia's recent datasets of 7.2 million stars in conjunction with the space probes' known trajectories, the researchers were able to calculate when the spacecraft might come closest to a star system.
As expected, the spacecraft will drift through space a very, very long time before arriving in the vicinity of a star system. According to the results uploaded to the arXiv preprint server, the four spacecraft will come close to about 60 stars in the next one million years.
Phys.org reported that Pioneer 10 — a space probe launched in 1972 and NASA's first mission to the outer planets — will likely be the first to pass by a star system, namely HIP 117795, which lies in the constellation Cassiopeia.
According to computations made by the researchers, Pioneer 10 will pass within 0.231 parsecs; one parsec is equal to about 3.26 light-years or roughly 31 trillion kilometers. This event could happen as early as 90,000 years from now. Unfortunately, this means that the probes would have long ceased operating (the Pioneers already have), making it impossible for us to receive information about any signals from an alien civilization it might encounter.
However, all four probes will cross paths with stars systems too far away to be captured by their gravity. It might take 1020 years (that's 10 followed by 20 zeroes) before any probe collides or gets captured by a star system.
But, it's important to remember that these spacecraft's main missions were to explore our solar system's planets. The fact that they have the opportunity to exit the system is just a bonus. If we were to send a spacecraft directly to a star, it would take a lot less for us to perform an encounter.
The closest star in our vicinity is Proxima Centauri, lying more than 4 light-years away. With our current technology, it might take 10,000 years to reach it.

Domestic assaults include all the same types of assault listed in sections 265 of the Criminal code of Canada, but include a family dynamic. Regardless of a spouse's wishes, if the police believe that they have enough evidence to prove that domestic violence has occurred, they must charge the accused.
When someone is charged with a domestic assault, they may face other issues, such as their desire to reunite with your family, their inability to see their children, their inability to communicate with their spouse, the financial and emotional difficulty of living away from home for an extended period of time, the use of criminal charges against them in family court proceedings, hardship caused by bail conditions, and family pressure to resolve the case as quickly as possible.
Typically, communication between a couple is only restored after a plea of guilt, even when both parties want to resume the relationship. However, if you and your partner want to regain the right to speak with each other, Céline will schedule a hearing date in court to defend your rights to continue your relationship.
There are many valid defences that can be used when someone is charged with domestic violence. Céline will meet with you to evaluate all the possible defences that can be raised at trial and create an appropriate strategy for your defence.
The Crown must prove that force was applied without consent, and they must show the consequences of the force. If there was no force or real threat of force, then there can be no assault.
If your spouse was attacking or threatening you, you were entitled to defend yourself. Self-defence is one of the most common defences used in domestic assault charges. When an accused person claims that he or she was acting in self-defence, the court's role is to determine if the amount of force used was reasonable.

The man, whose name was not immediately known, suffered life-threatening injuries, said D.C. fire department spokesman Tim Wilson.
He was standing by himself at Seventh Street and Madison Drive, in the center portion of the Mall, when he emptied the contents of a red gas can on himself and set himself on fire moments later, said Katy Scheflen, who witnessed it as she walked through the Mall.
She said passing joggers took off their shirts in an effort to help douse the flames, and the man was clearly alive as the flames spread. A police department spokesman said he was conscious and breathing at the scene. MedStar Washington Hospital Center tweeted that the man was taken there but had no condition update.
"There was not a lot people could do because it was a gasoline fire," she said.
She said he may have said something before he acted "but it was nothing intelligible." She said she did not see him holding any signs.
"I'm not aware of any signage or any articulation of any causes," said Lt. Pamela Smith of the U.S. Park Police, which is investigating along with the D.C. police department.

William Whitla was born on 13 September 1851 in Monaghan. He was educated at the Model School there, and, after a brief spell working for his chemist brother James, in Monaghan, he moved to Belfast to the work in Messers Wheeler and Whittaker, dispensing chemists, at 37 High Street. He studied medicine at Queen's College Belfast and in Dublin and Edinburgh, after which he joined the staff of the Belfast General Hospital, Frederick Street, Belfast (which received the Royal Charter in 1875) as Resident Medical Officer, for one year. He spent some time in St. Thomas' Hospital, London, where in 1876 he married Miss Ada Bourne. Between 1877 and 1882, when he became a consultant physician, he was Assistant Physician to the Belfast Charitable Society. About this time he was accepted an honorary appointment to the Belfast Hospital for Women and Children.
In 1882 he was appointed Physician to the Belfast Royal Hospital in Frederick Street where he was to remain a visiting members of the staff, and later of the Royal Victoria Hospital, until 1918.
In 1890 Whitla was appointed Professor of Materia Medica at Queen's College, Belfast. He built an international reputation on several remarkably successful textbooks, e.g Elements of Pharmacy, Materia Medica and Treatment (1882) and A Dictionary of Treatment (1892), which were translated into many languages, including Chinese. The income from these, from his private practice and from private sources made him in his time probably one of the wealthiest professors on the staff and much of his wealth eventually was left to Queen's. He was twice president of the Ulster Medical Society (1886-7, 1901-2) and in 1909 was elected President of the British Medical Association. As Pro-Chancellor of Queen's he represented the University in Parliament from 1918 to 1922 having been knighted in 1902 for distinction in medicine. From 1884 to 1906 he lived and practised at 8 College Square North, moving in that year to Lennoxvale, while retaining the professional house in College Square. He was appointed honorary physician to the king in Ireland in 1919.
During his life his gifts to his profession included the Good Samaritan stained glass window in the Royal Hospital, and a building for the Ulster Medical Society. On his death he left Lennoxvale to Queen's University as a residence for the vice-chancellor. He died at Lennoxvale on 11 December 1933.


Misappropriate funds instead of feeding the hungry in the districts; 10th Parliament greedy MPs only see their bellies and not that they represent the ones that are starving!
Something is just wrong, something is seriously wrong, as the misappropriated funds and public coffers in Uganda; there is something sinister going on. It is okay that a government and administration cannot make it rain or make sun shine, but they can make sure the people together with public gathering technics make sure when there is plenty of water. It's in tanks and other barrels until needed for the crops and enough for drinking. This is practices mankind has done since the Roman Empire. It's not spectacular, but convenient.
On the other hand, since Roman Time, there has always been corruption, and men has always been corrupted by gold, silver and sparkly things. So as the citizens are hungry, the starvation isn't only in Isingiro, where the starvation is dangerously high, there are other districts severely hit by the draught and the lack of rain.
"Already, 1.3 million Ugandans, the minister said, need urgent food aid and so far, 600kgs of maize flour and 300 kilogrames of beans have been sent to Isingiro Districts where some people have starved to death" (…) "According to Mr Kibazanga, 65 per cent of people in Karamoja sub region have one meal or half a meal in a day as opposed to three meals while 35 per cent of the population in the districts of Katakwi, Amuria, Kumi, Bukedea, parts of Serere and Kaberamaido are in the same phase with Karamoja sub-region" (…) "Mr Kibazanga also revealed that 50 per cent of the people of Koboko, Yumbe, Moyo, Maracha, Arua, Zombo, Nebbi, Adjumani, Amuru, Nyoya, Gulu, Pader, Lamwo, Kitgum, Agago, Soroti, Ngora, Amolatar, Pallisa, Butaleja, Rakai, Isingiro and Tororo have access to a meal a day. The districts of Oyam, Apac, Kiryandongo, Masindi, Bulisa, Kyankwanzi, Nakaseke, Kiboga, Mubende, Luwero, Kyegegwa, Sembabule, Kiruhura, Lwengo, Ntugamo, Kamuli and Kibuuku are in a minimal phase of food insecurity, meaning the people can still afford all meals though stocks are running low" (Tajuba, 2016).
So when the Government knows about that and they continue with their inappropriate idea of giving new cars for the Members of Parliament, something that the 10th Parliament MPs have been waiting for. It is in their duty and now getting a free-ride for their services; this they do while districts upon districts lack food and water, while they are starving… the reckless thieving of state coffers instead of supplying needed food from the budgets !
"Parliament has received a release of Shs25 billion for payment of vehicle grant to members of parliament. The money will cater for at least 250 MPs out of 431. According to parliament's director of communcations Chris Obore, the Parliamentary Commission will first pay new MPs. The new MPs to get first are those without election petitions in court. The old MPs will be paid when the Commission gets a new release. It emerged recently that each Member of Parliament will bag Shs200m instead of Shs150m as had earlier been budgeted by the Parliamentary Commission. This means Parliament will spend more than Shs85 billion on all the legislators" (the Insider, 2016).
As much as there are money in the system for unnecessary expenditure from the 10th Parliament, that with no thought or consideration thinks about the consequences for the once they are supposed to represent. They apparently wish to become greedy like the former EX-MPs who we're taken to court and charged with massive thieving, though where the money really went nobody knows. They surely pocketed some of it, but the where it we're supposed to go, is not hard to know. Because the pay-outs we're to ghosts, ghosts are invisible creatures not of the living.
"Anti Corruption Court in Kampala has found three former top employees of ministry of public service including Jimmy Lwamafa, the ex-permanent secretary guilty of all the ten charges slapped against them by the state. Presiding judge, Lawrence Gidudu summarised in his ruling that the fraud to steal the Shs88.2 billion was hatched in the public service, smoothened in finance ministry and executed in Cairo bank where the money was finally paid out to ghost pensioners" (Ndagire & Wesaka, 2016).
So the living in the districts are either this days getting screwed by their own representatives of the 10th Parliament, as they are more keen on perks and riches than helping the citizens they represent, that is what their President Museveni has been teaching for three decades now. So the people are starving and not getting valuable food or needed water for their daily life, while the MPs are riding in flash, posh cars in Kampala. That is happening while their predecessors are being detained for thieving from coffers to bail-out ghost pensioners, while the results of the matter are not told where the money went.
We can wonder since it is not told, that somebody did their bidding and stole the monies for the bigger plan of their President, and when they we're not needed to do their service they gotten taken to court. That wouldn't be surprising as that has happen before in the times udner the Executive Museveni. It's just new names who done similar things in the past. The billions of shillings are levels of stealing while the hunger is running rapid is worrying; together with the wishes of lavish lifestyle by the men who supposed to represent them. Instead they represent themselves and not using their powers and reach to service the famine ridden districts, because they only see their own tummy. Peace.
Famine continues to run rapid in Isingiro District!
"I am buying a second belt for my stomach in addition to the one for my trousers" says a man in Isingiro, in the district that is hunger stricken, famine and drought.
Isingiro District Veterinary Officer Dr Bruhan Kasozi told a radio that the district is currently experiencing what could be its worst dry spell in a decade.
The continued reports of famine and draught in Isingiro District happens and the Government tries to react, but with very little effect. The relief is mediocre at best, not even well-prepared even as the draught has been steady since mid-year in 2015. The Livestock and water issue is rising, there been reported that 8 kids has lost their life during the recent week because of the starvation. This is the people of district that is in the hands of government doesn't have effort, will or care to really change the pattern of the famine in Isingiro District. Here is what I collected of the continued situation. Something that is not what it's supposed to be, the Police still over-react in the nation as even Local Councillors are detained for opening a Livestock market in the needs in the district.
This is happening as the State Minister for Relief and Disaster Preparedness Hon. Musa Ecweru said: "The hunger situation in the country is serious especially in the cattle corridor. We are starting the relief program from Isingiro district because of the magnitude of the problem" (NBS TV Uganda, 01.11.2016).
"The State minister for relief and disaster preparedness, Musa Ecweru, is calling for serious interventions to tame adverse weather conditions causing calamities in the country. The minster said this Yesterday while in Isingiro district where he was distributing food relief items to residents hit by famine due to the long drought" (91.2 Crooze FM, 05.11.2016).
"In Isingiro District where famine rages on, government has delivered food aid, each recipient got at least one cupful of flour and beans. There are reports that a number of people and animals have died of starvation" (NBS TV Uganda, 04.11.2016).
Like again on the 5th November the LC2 Chairperson of Kayonza Parish in Isingiro District. Here the locals lined up for more posho and beans… to fill their cups of starving tummies in the parish.
"The chairman LC 5 for Isingiro district has been arrested and put to prison after attempting to reopen the animal markets that were closed down by the government following the outbreak of foot and mouth disease. He's been arrested under the orders of the area RDC Mr Herbert Muhangi citing defiance of the district leader. The chairman Kamurari Jeremiah Birungi has been planning to reopen the markets and has been informing the public that today Thursday is the day to operationlise the markets regardless of the central government's directive and the quarantine. He was found in Endiinzi sub county where he had gone to open the market" (OMO Blaze Media House, 03.11.2016).
"Asalam alaykum brothers and sisters preparations for for Isingiro district relief in progress areas to be visted are saa no 260, Rukungiri 278, Mbale 334, Kashariira 270, Mule mâ 480 ….families thanks to Mr Amin from Kotecha family Eng Fahir , Beejay,Fred Kafooko etc now at Iqra foundation mbarara mosque with 20 tones maize flower and 3.5 sugar please send more we are leaving tomorrow at 7 am may Allah the Almighty bless you all".
"Muslims in Western Uganda have extended relief to several families in Bukanga County – one of the most drought-hit areas. It`s addition to donations coming from various humanitarian organizations. Among the food items, were posho flour, rice and sugar, handed to some 1,700 households" (Urban Television, 07.11.2016).
"The nation's northeastern Karamoja region is the worst hit with two in three people having access to only half a meal or less per day, Christopher Kibazanga, minister of state for agriculture, said in an e-mailed statement from the capital, Kampala. Teso sub-region and the western district of Isingiro are also badly affected" (…) "There is fear if individuals and families do not manage the available food stocks at household levels well, the situation can quickly deteriorate to the emergency and famine stages of food insecurity within the next two months," Kibazanga said" (Ojambo, 2016).
So the Ministers Kibanzanga and Ecweru are saying that this is serious business and how hard the area is hit. Still, the deliverance of emergency relief has been meagre from the government as even Local Councillor has complained at the rate; still the good news is that the Muslim relief has come. This is coming as the lack of rain and continues draught at the area. Prices of livestock have fallen and the price of water from the Jerry-Cans has gone up 5 times recently.
"According to Kangwagye, once the livestock markets are reopened people would easily sell of their animals and get money to meet their other needs. Kangwagye told URN that he intends to join other leaders to ensure the livestock markets are reopened. Kangwagye's statements come a day after Agriculture, Animal Industries and Fisheries Minister; Vincent Bamulangaki Sempijja accused Isingiro leaders of undermining the livestock quarantine. On Saturday, Sempijja accused the local authorities for politicizing the livestock quarantine, which compromises efforts by Ministry to eliminate the foot and mouth disease from Isingiro district. According to Sempijja, instead of backing the quarantine, politicians in Isingiro district are mobilizing livestock farmers to reopen the closed livestock markets. The Animal Diseases Act only mandates the Commissioner in Charge of Animal Health to lift quarantine. Any person who defies the quarantine faces a fine of Shillings 2 million or 2 years in prison or both" (100.4 Hills FM Kabale, 07.11.2016).
So the continues hunger and issues are coming to the surface as the Livestock issue is not stopping, the management and administration from the government is really weak. Therefore the Ministers are even criticising their government response to draught and deaths in the districts.
What is striking is how the Ugandan People through help is now starting to donate money to get food for the Isingiro, both Muslims and Christian NGOs are doing and planning to deliver food to the needy. The interesting is that the NGOs are giving more than the Government. The report of one cup of Beans and Posho is really not a real relief in the midst of a famine and draught that lasts months on end.
The ends have to come and the state has to deliver, also show plans of progression, if not to talk about new plans of collecting water and serving these communities; which should be priority, this problem where even there when the President and his team went on campaigns in the district.
So the reality is bleak and what is worse is all the men and woman, even kids are starving because of the continued draught. The Famine has to be sorted and the Government actually act responsible to the citizens of the district.

The consumer's acceptance of food quality is an important factor, especially in Third World Countries which import much of their food. Since flesh food (meat, fish) is shipped to those countries frozen or in cold storage, it is susceptible to temperature fluctuations during shipment, resulting in deterioration of the meat and unacceptable quality. Therefore an acceptable procedure to assess flesh food quality is necessary to protect the consumer and trader and to aid in the manufacture of high quality food products.
Hypoxanthine concentration in flesh food has been a useful index for the assessment of freshness. Therefore, it was selected as the quality control indicator for the development of a rapid and effective method for quality analysis.
An immobilized enzyme analysis system was developed, consisting of a continuous flow reactor, Clark electrode oxidase meter and an immobilized enzyme membrane of 2% Ca-alginate and 1.0 u/ml of xanthine oxidase. The membrane was incubated in 0.05M Tris-HC1 buffer, pH 8.4, containing 0.0028% glutaraldehyde. The optimum conditions for the operation of the immobilized enzymes system were pH 7.85, temperature 23°C, circulating buffer flow rate 0.4 ml/min, circulating buffer concentration 0.05M Tris-HC1, substrate (hypoxanthine) prepared in 0.01 M Tris-HC1 buffer. The storage stability of the immobilized membrane was more than three months.
The system was evaluated by measuring the hypoxanthine accumulation in meat and fish during storage periods. Meats and fish tested showed that the hypoxanthine concentration increased with increasing refrigerated storage time. Also the system was compared with the colorimetric analysis, and the same pattern of hypoxanthine development was obtained with both analyses.
Comparisons for beef and lamb during cold storage found that sensory evaluation especially as an edibility index, and hypoxanthine concentration, indicated that the majority of potential consumers would purchase and cook those given samples of meats, in which the hyponxanthine concentrations were low. When acceptability declined with increased storage time, the hypoxanthine concentration increased.
This analysis procedure was simple, rapid, inexpensive and may prove to be an alternative or adjunct to the more time consuming and expensive colorimetric analysis, which may also encourage the extension of this work to other meat and fish and their products.
