Horsham, crime, Wimmera
A HORSHAM man charged with family violence offences will wait a month to learn whether his bail plea is accepted. Dillon Harding, 22, appeared at Horsham Magistrates' Court on Monday in relation to two family violence charges. The accused had been remanded in police custody for 67 days. Prosecutor Senior Constable Michelle Wentworth said the first charge involved Mr Harding and a western Victorian woman. "The accused and victim were in a relationship that broke down, however they got back together and the accused used ice constantly," she said. "On December 5, 2018 the pair were asked to leave a Horsham property by the Salvation Army. An argument between the victim and accused broke out. The accused grabbed the victim around her neck and the victim dropped to the ground." Senior Constable Wentworth said a witness saw Mr Harding holding a steak knife and heard him making threats to kill the victim. "The witness saw the accused throw the knife towards the victim. The knife ricocheted off the wall and hit the victim's foot, causing a small stab wound," Senior Constable Wentworth said. "The victim exited the house and the accused followed her, continuing to verbally abuse her. Police arrested the accused at the Horsham address. He was placed in police cells until he was no longer drug affected and was fit to interview." On December 7 Mr Harding told police that the argument "had escalated", and said he did not attack the victim or make threats to kill. The court heard that in the second charge the victim was a relative of Mr Harding. "On October 28, 2018 the accused was at the victim's house under the influence of methamphetamine," Senior Constable Wentworth said. "At 6.20pm, the accused started to yell at the victim. The victim told the accused to leave the property, however the accused continued to yell. The victim said they would call the police because they felt intimidated and threatened. "Police attended the address and found the accused lying on the ground not making sense. He made no comment to police when interviewed." The court heard that a safe contact order was placed on Mr Harding at the time of the incident with conditions to not commit family violence against the victim. It also heard Mr Harding had used methamphetamine since he was 18 and was 21 at the time of the offending. Magistrate Ronald Saines said Mr Harding's actions were in breach of the safe contact order placed on him. "There are a number of things I want to say to you. I have to decide whether it's appropriate for you to get out of jail now and I can't make that order yet," he said. Mr Harding reappeared at Horsham Magistrates' Court on Wednesday via videolink to hear his bail plea. However, Mr Saines must wait until a justice plan assessment is completed before a decision regarding bail can be made. Mr Harding was remanded in custody and will next appear at Ballarat Magistrates' Court on March 7.

Q: How can I remove the input focus from textbox? I'm making simple C# Winform application. There is a Form having a textbox. I want to change the location of textbox by arrow key but textbox has the input focus so form's KeyDown event is not called. How can I remove that input focus?
Typing on the textbox should still be possible. I try to make a dummy label and give the focus, but It doesn't work. If I press any key, the cursor go back to the textbox. please help me. How can I solve this problem?

A: Handle the TextBox.KeyDown event.  And set e.Handled = true; in your handler after you move the TextBox, but before you return.  And, yeah, only handle the arrow keys.

A: Hmm, not sure if I understand. If the user can type into the edit box, then it can have focus. If he clicks outside of it, on a blank are of the form, then it loses focus.
If you want to be able to 1) type into the edit box and 2) move the edit box, then you need a separate mechanism to enter "move mode".
I would suggest either a "click here to move selected control" button, or a right-click context menu on the control with a "move control option".
You would also have to conisder how the user indicates that moving has ended.
Hope this helps.

A: NOTE: I just realized this is not even an in-browser C# app. I guess disregard all of this. Serves me right for not reading carefully enough.

Use Javascript, in particular, I'd personally recommend jQuery.
They have pretty nicely documented their library: http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page
For this particular task, you are going to want to bind some sort of key event (ie. keypress) and make sure to stop event propagation (so that you prevent the default response which is to be sent to be simply handled by the textbox element's default listener).
So, to give you an idea, if you want to change the location of the textbox using keypresses (maybe arrow keys), do something like this:
/* link the jQuery source to the HTML page with script tag */
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

/* short hand for $(document).ready(function() { ... */
$(function() {

    $("#textbox_id").keypress(function(e) {
        var $this = $(this); // store the #textbox_id element in $this
        e.preventDefault();
        switch (e.keyCode) {
            // find the actual integer code for the up arrow
            case UP_ARROW:
                $this.animate({
                    top : '-=10px'
                }, 100); // time in milliseconds to complete the animation
            /* fill in the cases */
        }
   }

});

Okay, I hope you get the picture. Find out more about animate() and other jQuery functions at in the documentation at the link I provided above. Hope that helps!
NOTE: Obviously, preventing the default handling of events is a terrible idea in this case for accessibility reasons. Use your best judgement when selecting keypresses to trigger these moving events -- whatever you do, don't disallow users from moving around within the text they have in input fields.

The Children in Movement project took place from Spring 2017. This exhibition is available for touring from January 2019, and we would be thrilled to have it exhibited either locally or nationally during Refugee Week 2019.
Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, this exhibition presents the outcomes of Children in Movement, a young people's heritage project undertaken by The GAP Arts Project between May 2017 and September 2018. The exhibition is a collection of stories and photographic portraits of Birmingham residents who migrated to the city when they were young. Collected through oral history interviews conducted by groups of local young people, the migration stories span almost 80 years, starting with a young Czech girls's escape from Nazism on the Kindertransport in 1939. Though experiences of migration as a young person was the focus of the project, the interview process inherently had a strong focus on inter-generational exchange, and the exhibition presents experiences of migration at different points in living history. As such this exhibition fits very well into the theme of 2019's Refugee Week – #Generations. Every story across each subsequent decade echoes its themes of separation and community, identity and difference, loss and hope, as young lives have threaded their way from all corners of the globe to make their home in Birmingham, today's most ethnically diverse city in the UK.
This project was produced by a group of local young people in response to the misrepresentation and homogenisation of 'the migrant' that the 2016 UK Referendum on EU membership escalated. Fearful of what it might mean for our city, The GAP set about the task of finding the real stories behind the negative hype and scaremongering. The result is an intimate mosaic of personal accounts and images that fills the void in which prejudice and distorted narratives about immigration thrive. It gives the viewer/reader/listener the opportunity to hear above the clamouring headlines the voices of people who, for a whole variety of reasons and from very different backgrounds, have made Birmingham their home.
The exhibition presents the stories and photographic portraits of 34 individuals from over 25 different countries. By presenting just a small sample of voices, the project is therefore also dedicated to all those individuals whose personal stories of migration continue to go unheard.
The GAP Arts Project is a youth-led, Birmingham-based arts organisation that creates space and time for young people to make sense of the world through creative and cultural action. Though the remit of our work is by no means exclusively focused on migration or asylum, this has become a prominent part of our work over the past two years. We have worked with many asylum seeking children and young people through our creative projects, drawn attention to related issues through our public programming, and built close & lasting relationships with many local organisations, groups and individuals working to support migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.
Audio from interviews are also possible (though not necessary) to be incorporated.
A deposit must be paid in advance. This will be returned after we receive back the exhibition materials, minus any costs to cover any damage. You will also need to cover any delivery costs.

British credit cards hit by US sanctions
By Stephen Wilkinson
British tourists travelling to Cuba are being prevented from using their credit cards because of the US blockade, it has emerged.
HFC, Beneficial and Marbles - the card brands of the US finance company Household International - wrote to their British holders in August telling them that their cards will not be valid in Cuba.
Two CSC members were among the estimated two million customers who received the warning on their monthly statement.
Thanks to their timely pro-tests, CSC alerted the media and the story made the Financial Times on August 28th.
Zelda Robinson was particularly angered because her card is an affinity card issued in the name of the Consumers' Association. She wrote a letter of complaint to Which?
Her statement, like all the others read:
'Due to US government restrictions applicable to us, please do not use your card in Cuba as the transaction will not be processed.'
Zelda told CubaSi: 'I was appalled that the current US administration can interfere to this extent with my freedom and told them so.'
The matter is serious because it has also emerged that the British subsidiaries of other US banks are also blocking transactions in Cuba by their customers. It could be that more than one in five UK cards cannot be used on the island.
Even cards from major British banks such as Abbey National and Alliance & Leicester cannot be used there because they are outsourced to MBNA, the US card issuer that claims 14 per cent of the UK market.
'What we are telling card-holders is that their cards will not be able to be used in Cuba and this is because of an American directive,' said Martin Rutland, communications director of HFC.
MBNA told the Financial Times that it had no option but to refuse transactions with Cuba. 'We are not doing this by choice. We are bound by US law.'
Vincent Cable, Liberal Democrat spokesman for trade and industry, was quoted by the FT as saying it was 'clearly unacceptable' that US sanctions should hit Britons. 'It means whenever America has a bilateral quarrel, it hits UK and European interests. What is clearly needed is a multilateral agreement to stop unforeseen consequences of extra-territorial legislation.'
It is not clear why this ruling has been suddenly brought into effect. Presumably these cards have been used in Cuba in the past, so why they have suddenly been targeted would be interesting to find out. No one at the banks would say, but it would most likely be an assertion of the ban on subsidiary trade with Cuba in the 1992 Torricelli Law. This law was condemned outright as extra-territorial and illegal by the Major Government at the time it was passed.
International law expert Keith Ewing told CubaSi: 'This is an outrageous example of extra-territoriality and should be condemned. It is also a nonsense. Why should Cuba be singled out for this treatment? Presumably these cards could be used in Baghdad right now, so why not Havana?.'
CSC wrote to the minister reposnsible for the Caribbean at the DTI, Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean, and got the following reply: 'The Government's understanding is that this is situation is a contractual matter between consumers and pro- viders. In this case there does not seem to be an extra territorial application of US law.'
In other words: the government intends to do nothing about this. CSC members should write letters of protest to the companies concerned and copy them to their MPs.

The consequences of a DUI conviction can follow you for years afterward. This is why it is important that you make sure that if accused, you fight your charges as best you can. Being under the influence of any substance, including legal ones, while inside a vehicle can result in a DUI accusation, even if you may not have been driving at the time.
In Simi Valley, California, a police officer arrested a man sitting behind the steering wheel of a car parked in an unnamed neighborhood. Inside the car, police described finding a "small pharmacy of marijuana products" in the front and back seats of the vehicle. The officer approached the suspect and a young passenger while they were allegedly consuming the product.
When the driver produced a medical marijuana card, the police were unable to arrest him for possession of the drug. Since the car was parked, they were also unable to legally provide proof of having driven the vehicle while under the influence. Police photos prove the presence of dozens of medical marijuana "pop top" bottles, baggies, and a glass water pipe.
Have you or someone you love been accused of DUI? If so, you will need representation to make sure that your case is handled as effectively as possible. Adequate representation can affect the severity of your charges and how it affects your future. Contact our firm today.

Akshaya Patra takes tech help to better feed 1,761,734 children a day
By Samreen Ahmad
Its newly-built Jigani kitchen in Bengaluru is piloting the use of technologies such as data analytics, blockchain and Internet of Things to speed up the huge volume of its operations while ensuring strict quality control, reports Samreen Ahmad.

Cooking may not be rocket science, but when you are feeding over 1.7 million children in 14,314 schools, it could be a fit case for employing the latest technologies to ramp up operational efficiency.
Akshaya Patra, the world's largest NGO-run mid-day meal programme with 38 kitchens spread across 12 states, is one such mammoth enterprise, and it's using cutting edge technologies to help fulfil its goal of alleviating hunger among school children.
The Akshaya Patra Foundation, which was set up in 2000 in Bengaluru after spiritual leader A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada saw a group of children fighting with stray dogs over scraps of food, began with churning out 1,500 meals a day.
Today, it feeds 1,761,734 children daily. Most of its kitchens are fully mechanised.
But it has gone a step further at its newly-built Jigani kitchen in Bengaluru, where it is piloting the use of technologies such as data analytics, blockchain (a decentralised digital ledger which keeps a permanent record of all data exchanges) and Internet of Things (IoT) to speed up the huge volume of its operations while ensuring strict quality control.

"We were seeing a lot of data being generated in our kitchens such as the temperature of the sambar that is cooked, its temperature at the point of delivery, how many vessels each school received and the feedback from students," says Ajay Kavishwar, director of planning and advocacy at The Akshaya Patra Foundation.
At the Jigani kitchen, this data is being collected digitally and converted into unique codes via blockchain.
An analysis of the codes indicates that there is a potential to improve kitchen efficiency by 20 per cent, which could translate into a massive jump in productivity and a rise in the number of meals by several thousands.
Managed by Microsoft Dynamics, an enterprise resource planning software, Akshaya Patra's data management system takes into account everything from demand, procurement, planning for production, cooking, tracking of the transport vehicles, right down to the performance of its finance module.
The Jigani kitchen is also experimenting with IoT-based temperature monitoring of the cooking cauldrons in order to reduce the cook-to-consumption time.
Using optimal temperature results in food getting cooked faster and hence frees up kitchen staff for other work such as the dicing of vegetables.
Kavishwar says that feedback on the temperature, timeliness of delivery, taste and hygiene of the food comes from the principals of the over 14,000 schools where Akshaya Patra serves its meals.
This data is then analysed to improve the production planning, meal delivery and menu for the next day.

At Jigani, the predictive analytics tool also churns the historical data on student attendance so as to determine the potential demand on any given day.
This enables them to prepare meals accordingly and prevent food wastage.
Of course, most of the technologies being used are still at an experimental stage.
Says Mohandas Pai, a trustee of The Akshaya Patra Foundation and a former director of Infosys, "It's too early to say what the impact will be, but it's good to be at the cutting edge of technology."
But the impact of adopting new technologies is already being felt.
Taking a leaf out of the automobile industry, Akshaya Patra has set up a conveyor belt system to facilitate the loading of meals for transportation.
"The vessels with packed meals are put on a conveyor belt to be loaded on to our customised vehicles.
"This saves time, so hot food reaches the students," says Kavishwar.
The vehicles are also being fitted with GPS (global positioning system) to ensure that the meals are delivered on time.
Akshaya Patra's new kitchen at Khandi in Hyderabad, which is sponsored by IT giant Infosys, is another place where mechanised solutions have minimised cooking time and led to higher productivity.
This kitchen has just 30 staff producing meals for about 100,000 students daily.
In contrast, the mother kitchen in Bengaluru's Rajaji Nagar, the oldest one in the organisation, produces 85,000 meals a day with 80 workers.

The Akshaya Patra kitchens are in fact stunning efforts in scale.
Most are equipped with 10-15 rice cookers, each of which can cook up to 120 kg rice in about 15-20 minutes.
Every bag of rice has one per cent of fortified rice added to it to increase the nutritional value of the meals.
The vessels are sterilised with hot water before cooking, and afterwards, a pressure jet machine is used to clean them.
Vegetable dicing is also done through machines which can cut up to 1,000 kg of veggies in an hour.
Kavishwar says that they are now looking at ways to dice vegetables into smaller parts as a lot of children are fussy about eating greens.
The machines used in Akshaya Patra's kitchens are designed in-house by its research and development team, which also makes an effort to keep local taste in mind.

For example, in north India, where there is a preference for wheat, machines have been developed to make rotis.
The roti-making machines have the capacity to roll out 10,000 rotis in an hour.
In the kitchens in Gujarat, the R&D team has installed machines to prepare Sukhdi, a local delicacy made from wheat flour, jaggery and ghee.
Akshaya Patra has plans to come up with 15 more kitchens in the next 12-18 months in states such as Puducherry and Uttarakhand.
The target is to feed about 1 million more children.
It is also expected to cross the milestone of serving its 3 billionth meal in April next year.
And clearly, as it adopts the new technologies across its kitchens, the number of children benefiting from Akshaya Patra's good work is likely to rise even more.

We do love a Billionaire at Mills & Boon. In fact, we love them so much we decided to dedicate a whole month to them! But with so many to chose from, how do you know where to start? Well, lucky for you, our editors have devised a foolproof method to find your heart's desire. So why not sit back, relax and take our International Billionaire's quiz!
Q: A first date is a special occasion. Where would you like to be taken?
A: Modern: You don't date him, he dates you. You'll have very little choice as to the location! But, rest assured, you'll have never seen luxury or exclusivity like it.
B: Cherish: Whether it's dinner for two in a classy restaurant, a champagne picnic watching the sun set over the Italian Riviera, or a romantic evening walk along his private beach, you want a date where you can really start getting to know each other. And enjoy a heart-stopping kiss at the end of the evening, of course!
C: Medical: A swanky penthouse bar that's open twenty-four hours!
D: Historical: The latest ball everyone is gossiping about. You'll be the talk of the ton!
Q: When he turns up at your door, what kind of vehicle does he roll up in?
A: Modern: Don't be surprised if he turns up in his private jet!
B: Cherish: Flashing the cash isn't this man's style – instead, his car will be the height of tasteful luxury! You'll feel like a princess when he whisks you off for a whirlwind night of romance!
C: Medical: He lands in a helicopter – he's always ready for action!
Q: He invites you to his home. What is it like?
A: Modern: a home carved from the mountainous rock of a fictional Mediterranean island, built in chrome, glass, steel and sleek modernity.
B: Cherish: Which home?! He's likely to have a property portfolio that's the envy of everyone, but whether it's a charming Tuscan vineyard, opulent Spanish palazzo or classy London townhouse, it will be sophisticated, style guaranteed.
D: Historical: An extensive country estate, dating from the Tudor era, sumptuously decorated.
Q: He has money to lavish on you. What gift would you most treasure?
A: Modern: He will shower you with the biggest diamonds and the most beautiful sapphires, but what you will treasure most is his heart.
B: Cherish: It's not about the price tag – it's the thought, care and imagination that has gone into choosing it that will make his gift priceless.
D: Historical: The family diamonds, of course, what else!
Q: He whisks you away for your honeymoon. Where has he chosen for your wedding night?
A: Modern: Whether it's his idyllic private island, an incredible royal palace, a gorgeous sprawling estate, or a luxurious Bedouin tent… your wedding night will be the most incredible night of your life. Safe to say, you don't really see much apart from the bedroom!
B: Cherish: It's the honeymoon destination of your dreams – he knows you so well that he's organised your perfect night! He's thought of every last detail and as you toast each other with a glass of bubbles, you know this will be the start of a lifetime of happiness – together!
C: Medical: A private beach in the Caribbean, where the only person he's on-call for is you!
D: Historical: Back to the secluded, lavish halls of one of his many estates. A longer journey before reaching the bedroom is out of the question!
If you chose mostly A's why not try our jetsetting Modern series? Featuring seductive heroes and luxurious locations, we recommend Carol Marinelli's Di Sione's Innocent Conquest (The first book in The Billionaire's Legacy) and Sharon Kendrick's Crowned for the Prince's Heir (One Night with Consequences) for some passion and glamour.
If you chose mostly B's you are a born romantic at heart – your priority is true love, whether he's a billionaire or not! But that doesn't mean you'll say no to being treated like a princess now and again…or all the time for that matter! You'll enjoy Mills & Boon Cherish for that dash of wealth and hit of sheer emotion! Check out The Billionaire Who Saw Her Beauty by Rebecca Winters or The Forbidden Prince by Alison Roberts, Wedded for His Royal Duty by Susan Meier or An Unlikely Bride for the Billionaire by Michelle Douglas!
If you chose most C's checkout our high-flying Doctors in our Medical series! We know you'll love Winning Back His Doctor Bride by Tina Beckett (The final book in The Hollywood Hills Clinic miniseries) and Seduced by the Sheikh Surgeon by Carol Marinelli (The first book in the Desert Prince Docs duet).
If you chose mostly D's why not step back in time with our Historical series? While a privtae jet may be out of the question, there is no shortage of estates and jewels to keep you in the lap of luxury! Pick up The Unexpected Marriage of Gabriel Stone by Louise Allen (The final book in Lords of Disgrace quartet) and Commanded by the French Duke by Meriel Fuller and get swept away.

The Kissing Booth 3 Expected Release Date, Cast, And Every Other Detail
Deebakar Majumder
Now that it is official that The Kissing Booth 3 is definitely happening, cast-member of the film, Taylor Zakhar Perez, has revealed how challenging it was for him to keep matters about the third film secret while promoting the second film.
In a recent interview with Variety, Perez remarked, "It was the hardest thing. This was my first time really doing press for a film and I'm a very straight-up, authentic kind of guy. So when it comes to lying, straight-up lying, not even working around it, I was like, 'Oh, my God, how do we do this?' And we're sworn to secrecy with Netflix, and I straight up just really had to lie. But I don't know when it's coming out. All I know is 2021.
According to various sources, the third installation of the Kissing Booth franchise has already been filmed. In that case, it could indeed be released in 2021 without additional delay.
The Kissing Booth 3 An Overview
The first movie of the series, called The Kissing Booth, written and directed by Vince Marcello and based on the novel of the same name by Beth Reekles, was released on Netflix on May 11, 2018. This film follows the romance between Elle and Noah. Though the film received poor ratings from critics, it became a smash hit and a favorite with the teens.
The second film of the series, called The Kissing Booth 2, directed by Vince Marcello, released on July 24, 2020. The film has moderate reviews so far but it has become one of the most popular films on Netflix within a very short span of time. This sequel to The Kissing Booth furthers the tale of Elle and Noah and starts with Elle talking about the time she has spent with Noah before the latter has to leave for Harvard. At the time of writing, the film holds an approval rating of 27% on Rotten Tomatoes.

This is a very functional journal app. You can take pictures and add a location. Most other journaling apps I have tried have not been this easy, or had this many options without paying for a monthly service or buying an upgrade. Loving this!
Very happy to see the new tag search feature!

We just released a new version which includes the Search by Tag. Thank you for your patience.
I really like this app. It is easy to use. However, I paid for a premium membership in June and went to use one of the features and it says I need to go premium. So I am unable to access any of the additional features I paid for.

Q: Using extremely small floats in NumPy I'm using Python 3 and trying to plot the half-life time of a process. The formula for this half life time is -ln(2)/(ln(1-f)). In this formula, f is an extremely small number, of the order 10^-17 most of the time, and even less.
Because I have to plot a range of values of f, I have to repeat the calculation -ln(2)/(ln(1-f)) multiple times. I do this via the expression
np.log(2)/(-1*np.log(1-f))

When I plot the half life time for many values of f, I find that for really small values of f, Python starts rounding 1-f to the same number, even though I input the same values of f.
Is there anyway I could increase float precision so that Python could distuingish between outputs of 1-f for small changes in f?

A: The result you want can be achieved using numpy.log1p. It computes log(1 + x) with a better numerical precision than numpy.log(1 + x), or, as the docs say:

For real-valued input, log1p is accurate also for x so small that
  1 + x == 1 in floating-point accuracy.

With this your code becomes:
import numpy as np

min_f, max_f = -32, -15
f = np.logspace(min_f, max_f, max_f - min_f + 1)
y = np.log(2)/(-1*np.log1p(-f))

This can be evaluated consistently:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.loglog(f, y)
plt.show()

This function will only stop working if your values of f leave the range of floats, i.e. down to 1e-308. This should be sufficient for any physical measurement (especially considering that there is such a thing as a smallest physical time-scale, the Planck-time t_P = 5.39116(13)e-44 s).

Q: Pandas: to.datetime() quesiton I have Date/Time in the following format:
10/01/21 04:49:43.75
MM/DD/YY HH/MM/SS.ms
I am trying to convert this from being an object to a datetime. I tried the following code but i am getting an error that it does not match the format. Any ideas?
df['Date/Time'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date/Time'], format = '%m%d%y %H%M%S%f')

A: you can try letting pandas infer the datetime format with:
pd.to_datetime(df['Date/Time'], infer_datetime_format=True)

The devastation that Hurricane Maria brought to Puerto Rico in September has been widely publicized, as has the effort to return power to the island. In October, Puerto Rico's Governor, Ricardo Rosselló, said that relief workers are targeting to restore power to 95 percent of residences by December 15th. As of today - a mere 19 days before that date - power has only been returned to approximately 58% of Puerto Ricans. At Wunder, we feel deeply connected to Puerto Rico's energy restoration efforts and a need to address the suffering caused by energy's absence.
In the spirit of the holidays and #GivingTuesday, Wunder Capital is pledging 100% of all revenue from investments made between 11/28/17 – 11/30/17 to Hurricane Maria relief efforts in Puerto Rico.
We will be donating 100% of revenues from this 3-day period to Save the Children's Hurricane Maria Relief Fund.

Savannah Police adopt violence interrupter model
Published: Jan. 6, 2022 at 5:52 PM EST|Updated: Jan. 6, 2022 at 10:45 PM EST
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Savannah Police could soon have a new resource to help them get ahead of instances of gun violence like we've seen in the new year.
And it comes in the form of a violence interrupter program called Cure Violence Global.
Savannah Police Chief Roy Minter told WTOC the decision to partner with Cure Violence Global came after about a year of looking at the program's results in other cities, and having CVG reps actually come to Savannah to do an on-site assessment.
"We're looking forward to seeing what type of impact and benefit this program will have in Savannah as soon as we get it up and running," Chief Minter said.
Once the program is up and running, Minter said a community partner, likely a nonprofit, will be selected to handle the local management of the Cure Violence Global initiative and training of what are called violence interrupters.
"These are individuals who are known in that community, are respected in those communities, and can actually have what we call those tough conversations or those crucial conversations with people in the community who may need some assistance or guidance…" Minter explained.
Chief Minter said violence interrupters will be a trusted bridge between police and those who may be going down a path of violence.
"One of the things that's made the violence interrupter program very successful around the country is, these individuals aren't having those conversations with law enforcement," said Minter. He went on to say, "They're having the conversation usually with a trusted community member or community leader who is then assisting us, sometimes with those investigations, and able to provide that information to us, but it's not directly coming from that individual who may or may not have been involved in an incident."
Chief Minter also said the program will include wrap around services, with a case management component, that will look at what resources might be lacking in neighborhoods where the initiative has deployed.
"It has to be more than just numbers," the Chief said. "It has to be numbers, plus the fact that, ok, are people feeling safer in their community? Do they believe that this program is actually working, the communication part of the program, the relationship/partnership part of the program. Are all of these coming together, or do we just have a bunch of people walking around the community, that still nobody's talking to and nobody's interacting with...and nobody trusts?"
As for the price tag, Minter says he's confident money allocated to the department by City Council in the 2022 budget will cover the total cost of the program. The Chief added that cost has to be reviewed and approved by Council before specifics are revealed.

Readthecode.ca – TMA149 Signs on to the Creative Industries Code of Conduct
March 19, 2019 /in General News /by Lucie
TMA149 joins 42 Canadian music community groups making a commitment to foster safe and respectful workspaces.
Coalition of Canadian music organizations sign Canadian Creative Industries Code of Conduct, announce training & education resources will be available through Unison Benevolent Fund.
March 16, 2019, London, ON: A coalition of Canadian music community groups has joined in solidarity and is working towards environments free of harassment, discrimination, violence, and bullying for the music community.
Today the coalition announced that 42 music groups have formally signed on to the Canadian Creative Industries Code of Conduct. By signing on to the Code, the organizations are acknowledging their responsibility to build safe, respectful workplaces, and are committing to improving and implementing policies to keep the music community safe.
As a first step, members of the coalition have formed an Education, Training and Safe Support Committee, which is working to provide each member of the Canadian music community with the appropriate resources and training to identify, confront and prevent harassment, bullying and violence in any workplace. Unison Benevolent Fund has volunteered to host a suite of educational and training resources through its website at no cost. These resources will be made available to the music community at a later date.
Today's announcement was made at Allies in Action, an event focused on initiatives undertaken or underway to create safer spaces as the Canadian music community gathers in London, Ontario for the 2019 JUNO Awards.
Because of the uniqueness of the music business and the spaces in which musicians and music workers often operate, the coalition has added the following music-specific preamble to the existing Canadian Creative Industries Code of Conduct:
"We, the Canadian music community signatories, support the Canadian Creative Industries Code of Conduct. We recognize that in the music industry, the terms work, workplace and work-related, are extremely broad and can include any physical or virtual spaces at any time."
You can read the full Canadian Creative Industries Code of Conduct at www.ReadTheCode.ca
Additional organizations that would like to sign on to the Code can register online. Once the form has been completed, new signatories should email a high resolution company logo to info@readthecode.ca with your organization's name and "Becoming Code signatory" in the subject line.

Self healing, high availability, and the grid today
scott January 18, 2023, 12:47am #1
One common question around here goes something like: well, what happens if the node my workload is running on goes down? A common confusion about the ThreeFold Grid is that workloads are somehow distributed among available nodes in such a way that the failure of an individual node just means that work is shifted elsewhere. While self healing and self driving capabilities are an end goal for the Grid, we're not there yet. Currently each deployment is tied to a single node and it's the responsibility of deployers to provide any desired redundancy.
Of course, even the big cloud providers have occasional outages, and IT architects of high stakes deployments will build in a layer of fault tolerance spanning multiple physical locations or even multiple cloud providers. For end users of these sites and services, the failure of a single hardware system supporting the operation would seldom be noticed. So, what do these configurations look like? Can you implement them on the Grid today? What might the future look like? Let's find out.
Often shortened to "HA", high availability refers to a system with provisions to minimize downtime through redundant components. There are different places where HA can be implemented in a tech stack. Broadly, we could classify these as low level, operating in hardware or in the hypervisor that manages VMs, and high level, consisting of multiple systems or VMs orchestrated together to provide application level redundancy. Both of these could be working in the same stack, or either individually could be sufficient for a given use case.
The ThreeFold Grid is mostly designed with high level redundancy in mind. There are some good reasons that low level methods aren't as well suited to a distributed cloud. Still, it's worth understanding a bit about how the low level methods work.
Low level HA
One of the best known HA technologies is known as RAID (ignoring RAID 0 which only provides increased performance, not HA). It allows multiple disks to be joined into an array, with the data stored on the array spread across the disks in a manner including some duplication. Then the failure of some number of disks in the array can be tolerated without losing any data, and the failed disks can even be replaced without shutting down the computer, being restored from the remaining working disks.
While RAID began as a system implemented in special hardware devices, known as RAID controllers, these days RAID can be deployed purely as a software construct with some distinct advantages over the legacy systems such as portability, flexibility, and lower cost. Zero OS does not support hardware RAID systems, but it is possible to deploy software RAID within VMs on the Grid.
That said, software RAID is not an ideal solution on the Grid because flexibility is lacking in how disks are reserved. It's not straightforward to ensure that two disk reservations are placed onto separate disks on a node, and of course, this requires that the node has multiple disks in the first place. Providing better support for deployments intending to use software RAID is one way that we can increase HA options on the Grid. However, this only covers the case of disk failure, and relying on a RAID setup can also mean relying on farmers to replace failed disks in a timely manner.
Hypervisor clusters
Some hypervisors like Proxmox and VMware include clustering capabilities that can restart a VM on a different machine in the cluster if one machine goes down, or even run a duplicate VM in parallel that can instantly take over in case of a fault. These systems also require a storage system for storing the VM data that is robust against the failure of nodes in the cluster. That could be a separate NAS/SAN storage system (perhaps itself using RAID), or a distributed storage system like CEPH running among the cluster nodes.
Using multiple computer systems in hypervisor clusters, potentially along with dedicated networking gear, requires a fairly tight coupling of those systems. To ensure that only one system is actually running the VM at a time, and thus avert potential data corruption, clusters use "fencing" techniques that include giving the individual systems the ability to power off the others or instruct networking gear to block their traffic. Techniques for running two synchronized duplicate VMs in parallel even sometimes used special cables to connect the two computers.
While it is true that a good number of ThreeFold nodes run in farms where multiple nodes are present in the same physical location, solutions relying on colocated nodes aren't appropriate, in general, for the distributed nature of the Grid where many nodes run solo. Besides, the trend in clustering is towards Kubernetes, which works well on the Grid.
High level HA
Following the segue, Kubernetes is a high level system which can provide high availability in a more abstract environment. We already have preconfigured Kubernetes deployments available on the Grid. Kubernetes works well running inside of VMs, and it orchestrates containers as the working unit. This is an important distinction, because designing deployments using containers has some fundamental differences versus using VMs. Most importantly, it is generally considered more challenging to containerize an application and deploy it using Kubernetes than it is to get it running inside a VM.
It is also possible to build high level HA deployments using VMs. Kubernetes has the advantage of behaving somewhat like the clusters discussed above, in that components that were running on a failed system can be restarted on another running system within the cluster automatically. For the remainder of this section, I'll describe some techniques that are generally applicable using either approach.
The internet as you know it
Here's an example of a web application architecture. It could be a blog or an ecommerce website, where the blog posts or item descriptions are stored in a database. These are then retrieved and displayed for site visitors, who can take additional actions that might generate more entries for the database, like comments, reviews, and orders. Aside from simple static sites that don't need a database, pretty much the entire internet is built on some variation of this basic template:
+--------------+
|              |
|     User     |
^ |
| v
|  Web Server  |
|   Database   |
The database could be hosted on the same system as the web server (could be a VM, a bare metal server, or even a single node Kubernetes cluster), making that system the single point of failure. By adding an additional component, called a load balancer, along with redundant servers, we can eliminate the single point of failure. The load balancers will try to distribute traffic evenly between the two servers when they're both online, then direct all traffic to one server if the other fails. Let's also duplicate our database on another system and add a backup:
/      \
/        \
/          \
+--------------+  +--------------+
|              |  |              |
|Load Balancer |  |Load Balancer |
|       \    /       |
|        \  /        |
|         \/         |
|         /\         |
|        /  \        |
|       /    \       |
|  Web Server  |  |  Web Server  |
|            /
|           /
|          /
|         /
|        /
|   Database   |--|   Database   |
|              |  |   Replica    |
\           /
\         /
|   Backup     |
In this example, the load balancers, web servers, and databases could be running on two machines, with one stack on each, or on six total machines. The backup would be separate, in any case, providing a final fallback option if everything above it were to fail. In case the main database goes offline, the replica can take over.
An architecture like this can absolutely be deployed on the Grid today, using existing and freely available tools. There are some details glossed over in the diagram, especially how DNS is configured to connect users who type a certain URL in their browser to both of the load balancers. This means that the failure of one load balancer won't be handled totally seamlessly—there will be at least some temporary delays in connecting.
My point at the moment in bringing that up is that eventually we hit some system outside of the Grid that has its own limitations. As part of the bigger project of "a new internet", we might someday find replacements for such systems that can provide an even better solution than the best HA schemes out there today.
Self healing
While high availability systems are able to tolerate or recover from a certain number of faults, they aren't able to restore their original state independent of external intervention. Self healing refers to the additional capability of an IT system to bring new resources online automatically to replace those that have gone offline. This is an emerging field of cloud automation, which applies closed loop feedback to maintain a steady state. It's something like using a thermostat to hold a given temperature, rather than adding wood to a fire manually as needed.
In a traditional cloud environment, self healing capabilities would be enabled through the use of a machine operable interface to an account with the cloud provider. Any additional capacity provisioned would then be billed to the account as usual. On the ThreeFold Grid, all systems are open, so it's possible to automate any deployment process and this means that self healing systems can be implemented on top of the existing Grid foundation. So that is to say that while these features are on the roadmap, there's nothing stopping anyone from getting started today.
Your virtual system administrator
One concept we use to describe what the manifestation of self healing outcomes on the Grid could look like is the virtual system administrator, as part of your digital twin. This is a software entity that is programmed with the capability to deploy, and heal, different applications on your behalf. Of course, this means that the twin itself must be inherently robust against failure, and therefore should perhaps use some high availability concepts along with healing itself as needed. This would be the root of what we talk about whens saying "putting people at the center of their digital lives", building a solid kernel that can be responsible for keeping data and services safe and online.
QSFS
I should mentioned our Quantum Safe Filesystem as an example of what self healing technology can look like, specifically for the case of storage. In Grid v2, we already had an implementation of QSFS that could provision new capacity automatically to replace any backend stores that went offline and reconstruct the desired level of fault tolerance. This capability will be recreated on Grid v3 as a foundational element of self healing tech stacks on the Grid.
Kubernetes and beyond
These days we mostly talk about VMs on the Grid, since indeed, all workloads run as VMs in two styles, micro and full. This distinction is important, because micro VMs are really based on containers and containers are largely seen as the future of software deployment. We have containers operating as "first class citizens" on the Grid, which opens the possibility for novel approaches to managing them. Currently Kubernetes is the leading solution for container orchestration, and we proudly support Kubernetes running in VMs on the Grid. However, this ultimately is an extra layer of abstraction (and resource consumption) whose function could be fulfilled by a Grid native alternative.
What could that look like and what could it enable? Those are questions for another time, but it seems pretty clear to me that there is always a next step in the natural evolution of every system.
An autonomous p2p infrastructure
I'll close this piece by zooming out a bit, to recognize that ThreeFold technology enables more than autonomous software that can recover from failures. It also enables an autonomous infrastructure at the root layer of people and hardware. There's no other project in the world that I know of which brings a complete solution for internet infrastructure based on independently controlled capacity that can scale anywhere there's electricity and network connectivity.
I also want to challenge a bit of a paradigm shift in how we think about deployments and solutions on the Grid. We tend to focus a lot, including as I've done here, on how the existing ways of doing things can be ported to the Grid with minimal adaptation and effort. But aren't we really interested in a new way of doing things? Realizing the promise of a peer to peer network that the internet was originally intended to be will require redesigning systems to avoid centralized points of failure in the first place.
Of course, blockchain networks are the most notable recent innovation in peer to peer networks, chugging along as nodes come and go. I wrote a bit recently about one project that is going a step further to eliminate the central point of failure in blockchain nodes themselves. To me, this is a great example of the type of thinking and building that's well suited for a decentralized capacity network like the Grid.
Thanks for joining me on this journey of learning and dreaming. I'd love to hear any questions or reflections you have. Let's keep on buidling something great together.
Threefold Tech Call Challenge


The coffeeshop helper was on her way home when a lorry hit and killed her.
Instead of stopping to help, the lorry driver allegedly fled the scene.
Both the police and the woman's family are now appealing for witnesses to come forward in the hit-and-run case.
Shin Min Daily News identified the woman as Madam Yan Ying E, 61.
The accident happened around 1.20am on Sundayat Henderson Road in the direction of Tiong Bahru Road, opposite Bukit Merah View Market and Hawker Centre.
Following the accident, Madam Yan's family posted an appeal on Facebook for witnesses would contact them.
The woman's son, Mr Yang Wen Fu, 35, a taxi driver, told the Chinese daily yesterday that although his mother's funeral was over, no witness has yet to come forward with information.
A helper who works in a durian stall at Henderson Road told Shin Min he was in the area around 1am.
The 35-year-old man, who wanted to be known as Mr Lin, said he heard a loud sound and saw a white lorry leaving in a hurry.
However, he wasn't sure if the vehicle was involved in the accident.
Mr Lin said: "When (my boss and I) turned to look, there was a white lorry driving away quickly. It could easily have been travelling at at least 100kmh.
"(However) the surroundings were very dark at the time and I realised that someone had been in an accident only when the police arrived."
On Wednesday evening, the police sent out a press statement appealing for information on the fatal hit-and-run accident.
They said that the driver of the vehicle did not stop to render assistance and fled the scene.
Madam Yan died after suffering multiple injuries in the accident.
Anyone with information can call the police hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit information online at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness.

A Flash From the Past
During my recent trip through the Carolinas I met hundreds of people hungering to live in the reality of Jesus. We had all kinds of conversations with people all over the spectrum of expressions of church life. As part of my time in Charlotte, I was asked if I could meet the family of a man Sara and I met in New Zealand three years ago. He has a daughter, son-in-law and eight grandchildren there. We made arrangements to meet at his office, in the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. We were going to get a tour and go out to lunch.
Unfortunately the man who arranged it all had to cancel because of sickness in his family. But he wanted us to take the tour anyway, so my hosts and I did. We got the full tour around the place, which is an incredibly opulent facility in Charlotte. Later, we also toured the Billy Graham Museum (pictured at left). As many of you know, I'm not at all convinced we should glorify a man like the world does especially when the life it celebrates was mostly about Jesus and his kingdom. I'm glad we don't have the Apostle Paul Museum for instance. It might be interesting, but it gives glory to the wrong thing, doesn't it? That's not to say Billy Graham has done some incredible things and maintained a life of integrity in a time when such seems to be in short supply with those who are in the big spotlights.
In any case, back to my tour in the offices themselves. At one point we were in the photography library when one of their workers asked if we'd attended any of his crusades. When I told her I had gone forward as a nine-year-old boy at the Billy Graham crusade in Fresno, CA in 1962, she told me she might have a picture of that. Sure enough, she found a photo (see below) of the end of one of those evenings in Fresno.
As I recall my dad was an usher, way up at the top of the tall bleachers on the right hand side. It's amazing how vivid the memories of that night still are.
Forty-six years ago, who would have known what Father had in mind for me? I remember wanting to go forward the first night of the crusade, but my dad thought I was too young. The second night I was so overcome during the invitation that my dad said it must be time. Having grown up around the Gospel all my life, I know I believed in him before that night. But that was my first willful act to give my life to him.
Tomorrow I turn 55. What a journey it has been! Who knows what still lies in store in unfolding days to come. I've never regretted selling out my life to Jesus at a young age. Certainly I had no idea what it meant at the time, and how much I would be stretched at times to stay true to that decision. But I have never wavered in my passion to know him and my willingness to follow him even if that meant I had to disappoint others who didn't like or agree with what I felt he asked of me. But in the end, right or wrong, I kept trying to follow him even when it cost me.
And I've no doubt I'll continue on that journey to the end of this age and through the ages beyond. It's been fun to reflect back on my childhood, the choices I made in the face of how he made himself known to me. I'm so grateful we connected early and often.
And I want nothing less for you too! Blessings!

Aw, happy birthday, Wayne!! How cool to find that photo
Stephen March 20, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Melbourne Sue March 21, 2008 at 12:29 am
I had a similar experience … an overwhelming sense of needing to respond to Jesus' call at age 10. And also, not realizing what all that entailed. But i don't regret making that decision and following Him now for over 48 years. Even though it seems like many years, i feel like i'm still a child. Instead of becoming more independent, i'm becoming more dependent on Him. But then, it's a backwards kingdom, isn't it? At least in our eyes.
Happy birthday. Now that you're at the speed limit (55) you can start slowing down. 🙂
Shannon Kuhns March 21, 2008 at 5:20 pm
What an awesome picture, both literally and figuratively. A 9 year-old Wayne moves forward into the rest of his life. Happy 55th! And may there be many more steps forward in your journey.

I hope you had a great birthday Wayne! 55, wow, lots of candles ! 🙂

I remember going to a Billy Graham crusade in my teenage years. I had already "prayed the prayer" but like you I had not real clue to what it meant. I just wanted to be in heaven with Jesus. I was 8 or 9 years old. I am so thankful that Papa continued to pursue me until I could know what my young heart was looking for.
I turned 50 this year. Papa has relentlessly pursued my heart.
By the way, The Shack was AWESOME! Another picture for my heart of Papa.

France charges three Chechens for conspiring with terrorists
French police have arrested three ethnic Chechens and charged them with conspiring with various terrorist networks. Russian officials reportedly link the three to the group of notorious warlord Doku Umarov.
Originally three men and two women were arrested, but the women were later set free. Later a fourth man, an imam who immigrated to France from Chechnya six years ago, was briefly detained.
All three arrestees had links with an unnamed man, who had been arrested in Moscow in November 2009 for illegal possession of firearms and explosives. He had the status of a political refugee in France, investigators said.
The man arrested by Russian authorities reportedly had connections with the terrorist organization of Doku Umarov – one of the most wanted of Russia's North Caucasus militant leaders.
Umarov claimed responsibility for organizing the attacks on the Moscow metro system in March. He's also suspected of many other attacks and bombings across the country and believed to be linked to Al-Qaeda.
In June, Washington also put him on a wanted list of international terrorists.
The arrest came in response to a tip-off from Russian authorities, who informed the police in western France they had potential terrorists living there.
