In February, we shared a story with you from Smaranda Tolosano and Matthias Grenon, two BU alums that took an idea born in an undergraduate class and grew into a post-graduate mission. The two alums carry on working on the Abeona Initiative, a student-born venture that focuses on providing a digital solution for unaccompanied minors after they leave refugee camps, specifically, a mobile platform/app that would allow nonprofit organizations to communicate with the individuals, check on their wellbeing, and monitor the resources they need. After graduating in 2017, they made plans to revisit Calais, France and take serious steps to building a prototype of their digital platform. In October 2017, they made their way overseas. Now, six months later, Smaranda and Matthias look back at the experience so far.
I am back in Calais for the first time since mid-December 2018, only for a couple days, to see how the friends I made there are doing, and how the NGOs' work has evolved. Writing these articles inevitably causes me to reflect on what we saw, experienced, and remember from Calais. Three months seemed like plenty of time when we first arrived, but now, three months after leaving, it all feels very distant. So I thought, why not use this time to make connections between what I observed last fall and what is happening in Calais today, and see what's changed or not, and how exactly our first attempt at a social entrepreneurship project unfolded. The question still nags me today: why was it that we couldn't move beyond a prototype phase for the digital platform? Looking back at Matthias' notes from October, I think you'll begin to see what we, in retrospect, have understood about attempts at digital innovation in humanitarian contexts.
Two weeks into our time in Calais, part of what's been challenging for us on a day-to-day basis is that the kind of fieldwork and collaboration we're pursuing requires patience in developing the relationships, trust, and access that is necessary to actually developna workable solution. The NGO's here are extremely busy to start with and have different, more urgent priorities than establishing a collaborative framework with us, making it difficult not to feel like we're getting nowhere at times. Though it's easier said than done, we remind ourselves daily that the preliminary groundwork we're laying by being a consistent presence in Calais is what will eventually lead us to the kind of tangible and measurable progress that will make us feel like the project is moving forward.
We arrived in Calais late Monday night on September 11, 2017. After spending the night in our AirBnB, we sought to visit the vestiges of what had once been "The Jungle" encampment, the massive migrant slum of Calais that made the city a notorious symbol of the European Union's failure to properly deal with the consequences of the refugee crisis. A year after the last remnants of what functionally was a ghetto had burned to the ground, not much remains to remind one of the fact that this nondescript field was once inhabited by tens of thousands of refugees desperate to reach the United Kingdom.
A closer look at the area reveals the presence of multiple backhoes and bulldozers as well as some legal notices which declared the site publicly inaccessible, while others announced the upcoming nature restoration project. When we drove further into the former grounds of The Jungle, we happened upon an abandoned set of buildings with markings indicating that it had once served as a service center for the refugee population. The derelict complex is named the "Centre d'Accueil Jules Ferry" and was the site in which the NGO "La Vie Active" provided a broad range of services to the residents of The Jungle, such as access to showers, meals, medical attention, counseling and legal advice. The number of buildings that had visibly been in use and the sheer breadth of different services and instructions littering the area gave us an intuitive sense of just how many people were served there. The realization that this once bustling – if not overwhelmed – center was now a dilapidated ghost town that had clearly been shuttered from one day to the next adds to the feeling that the entire affair is wanted out of sight and out of mind.
The problem is that despite the best efforts of the local government, the nature of the refugee crisis in Calais cannot be simply wished away. Regardless of political and legal measures, Calais' geographic proximity to the UK and its borders inherently attract migrants desperate for a shot at asylum across the English Channel. They come to Calais hoping for any opportunity to access the UK, despite the difficult living conditions purposefully structured by the city's mayor.
This new political and legal context effectively made migrants in Calais and the NGO's serving them fugitives until the French courts mandated the provision of basic amenities like running water and toilets, ruling it illegal for the city to interdict the distribution of meals to migrants. In our early interactions with NGO contacts, we learned that these new conditions have exacerbated organizations' need for a more specialized and appropriate communications platform that could facilitate their work with an increasingly elusive population.
The Refugee Youth Service (RYS), is one of the NGO's that works to provide safe spaces and resources for young refugees, including cell phones, SIM cards, and monthly phone credit. When we accompanied them to distribute cell phones and SIM cards, it immediately became apparent to us that a significant issue for RYS in particular was the difficulty of accurately monitoring and tracking the number of times they had "topped up" a SIM card with credit. Further compounding their difficulties was the fact that other NGO's distributed phone credit and SIM cards without coordinating with one another. It was easy to recognize that SIM cards and phone credit serve as currency within the migrant population, further complicating the NGOs' efforts to effectively account for their allocation of credit. To this end, our contact with RYS expressed that the platform we imagined a year ago was still very much current in its potential utility for the NGOs in Calais.
The enthusiasm with which our digital "solution" was met with in our first month in Calais was, to a certain degree, misleading. As someone with little to no business background, I was excited to see an idea I had contributed to continued to grow and gain traction over a year of research and transatlantic e-mail exchanges. So when the RYS team said they could truly use a more efficient digital workflow and tool to speed up their data processing and increase security, I thought we'd conquered an essential obstacle: convincing people who knew their jobs that we could make a positive change for them. I didn't only believe in this idea for the sake of it, it had also been backed by research my peers and I had conducted in Professor Kaija Schilde's IR500 course and by the NGO workers who assured us they needed a better system.
and apps that were too data-intensive, thus using up a lot of the refugees' cell data, making it impossible to use them throughout their journey.
Having seen how many other groups of people with more expertise and means than we did had both failed and succeeded in helping refugees with varying needs, our classroom came up with the idea to create an app for an NGO instead and to look at ways in which we could facilitate their work on the ground. This way, we would indirectly be contributing to the refugee-aid effort, while gaining insight into the inner workings of a humanitarian NGO.
What we hadn't anticipated was what many aspiring innovators in humanitarian contexts fail to take into account because they simply cannot imagine how a day's work unfolds on the ground: urgent life-and-death matters along with food and clothing shortages are the bulk of what NGOs deal with on daily basis. Finding time for our well-meaning experiment (like others before) could never be a priority for volunteers whose time and energy becomes increasingly precious as time goes by.
While attending the Techfugees Conference in October 2017, we met people from all over the world who wanted to make a positive change in refugees' lives, whether it be through crowd-sourcing innovative tech products or activating networks of people to reunite refugees with their families. Many of these initiatives were efficient and successful from the start. But many others seemed afflicted by the same problem we were: the giant gap between theoretical products and those who can build them, and the unpredictable nature of field where they are meant to be used.
The reality of the ground is that organizations are often understaffed and underfunded, making do with low-cost solutions when refugees' belongings are confiscated and destroyed by police forces multiple times a week even in the winter. This, in addition to high staff turnover at NGOs, makes it difficult for the organizations to: 1. Change their way of operating quickly enough, and 2. Establish cooperation pathways with other organizations to avoid redundancies in their actions.
Don't get me wrong, the organizations in Calais are handling things well given the conditions they are working in, but the levels of stress under which they operate make it nearly impossible to effect long-lasting change.
After all, what matters is that their presence alleviates some of the pressures refugees face, and that, they do with success.
Keep an eye out for the next update from The Calais Project in May 2018.

The Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Needs More Power
by Allison Barfield instagram | More Articles: Tips, Tricks & Trends
We don't know much about the new Toyota Tacoma yet. However, we do know that the truck is about to be redesigned. Clues suggest that a Toyota Tacoma Hybrid model is in the works, and we hope it has enough muscle to be worth buying.
What to expect with the Toyota Tacoma Hybrid
2022 Toyota Tacoma | Toyota
When the new Toyota Tacoma Hybrid arrives, it should have new engine options. It's had the same engine options for years. The standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine with 159 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque could be dropped.
That engine wouldn't be missed because it's a little underpowered. However, you can upgrade to the 3.5-liter V6 for 278 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. This engine is still great but could be a little more fuel-efficient. Also, the Tacoma could benefit from an increased towing capacity.
When properly equipped, the Tacoma can tow up to 6,800 lbs. The Tacoma gets an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in the city and up to 23 mpg on the highway.
Some rumors suggest that the Tacoma Hybrid could share the 2.5-liter hybrid engine with the RAV4 Hybrid and the Sienna. It provides 245 hp in the Sienna and 219 hp in the RAV4 Hybrid, which isn't enough muscle.
The Tacoma Hybrid may also get the i-FORCE Max engine from the Tundra. It's a 3.5-liter V6 engine that's paired with an electric motor to provide 430 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. It could have less power in the Tacoma.
What else do we know about the 2024 Tacoma?
We know that the Toyota Tacoma Hybrid will ride on a modified version of the new TNGA GA-F architecture. This is what the new Toyota Tundra rides on, but it's currently too big for the smaller Tacoma.
Plus, clues suggest that the 2024 Toyota Tacoma will ride on a new rear suspension. Spy photos indicate that the Tacoma will have a similar setup to the Tundra with a coil-spring suspension.
The spy shots don't show any leaf springs, but it has the same mounting points for coil springs as the Tundra. Both trucks also share a similar trailing arm design.
The new setup should make the Tacoma better equipped for off-roading challenges and provide a smoother ride over the pavement.
Basically, the Tacoma could become a miniature Tundra. The Tacoma will have a new exterior design, and it's expected to borrow styling cues for its headlights, front bumper, and taillights from its big brother.
Will the 2024 Tacoma have better features?
The 2016 Toyota Tacoma Has Insanely Expensive Issues
Yes, the Toyota Tacoma Hybrid has a brand new interior design. Higher-quality items will replace hard plastics and other cheap materials. It's safe to expect leather upholstery and wood trim.
The Tacoma will also benefit from upgraded tech. Larger units could replace the 7.0 and 8.0-inch touchscreens, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto should come standard.
We wouldn't be surprised if the Tacoma got a new digital gauge cluster, head-up display, and a new premium audio system too.
Stay tuned. We will report the latest Toyota Tacoma updates as they come out. Until then, the Tacoma Hybrid will hopefully offer more power.

'Tis the season to be baking! Seriously, I do nothing but bake all December and it seems like everyone else does too. There are more cookies made this month, than the rest of the year combined. That's not even counting all the other great treats that come out of the kitchen. This week alone, I had to bring a huge tray of goodies to my son's school because we just can't eat it all. (I was experimenting with cookies for Friday's post and changed my mind about 2 of the kinds I made. So there was a lot of cookies here!) I did not have that problem with these muffins. Made them in the morning, half were gone by the afternoon. The rest were gone the next day. I'm so happy about the way these muffins turned out! They are so soft and have so much of the great eggnog flavor it them. White chocolate only enhances flavors of eggnog and nutmeg. Deliciousness!
These are scrumptious soft muffins that are full of eggnog flavors and a touch of white chocolate.
Preheat the oven to 400 and grease a muffin baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg, sugar, rum extract, oil and Silk.
Sift in flour, nutmeg, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Whisk together just until all combined and smooth.
Fill muffin pan cups ¾ full of batter. Grate a little more nutmeg on top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
I can just imagine how nice these will taste. Perfect!
Ohh muffins looking so yummy and authentic. children's really like this.
Wowzah! I was looking for a way to use the rest of the eggnog that I had but I only had butterscotch chips. Even with that substitution these were absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

At first, critics doubted that anything fresh could be added to this subject, but they soon agreed that Prose sheds new light on Anne Frank in her provocative and penetrating study. She makes a compelling case for Frank's literary brilliance, and though she considers the diary a "masterpiece," she candidly assesses its limitations. Prose also remains impressively impartial when sizing up the colorful figures who had a stake in Anne Frank's diary after her death… Written with great sympathy and sensitivity, Prose challenges readers to rethink the story they thought they knew and its impact across the globe.

I wrote more on this issue here.
OK, maybe not all, but there is really one critical issue at the heart of almost all the issues in health care. It drives whatever cost problems might exist in the system, drives many of the quality problems, and is a source of much of the current dissatisfaction (at least from the middle class) with the current health care system.
For every proposal, you should make sure you understand 1) Who is choosing the amount and quality of the care and 2) who is paying the bills and is therefore trying to pay attention to the cost of care.
What the hell does that have to do with anything, Coyote? What are you getting at? Well, perhaps I can begin my explanation by talking about something, practically anything, other than health care.
This clever procurement model of integrating the payer, the shopper, and the user all into a single individual is one we use for, well, just about every product and service we buy. Milk, Internet service, DVD's, house painting, airline tickets -- all the same model.
We all know the straights that the auto industry is in, but can you imagine how bad their price and product would be if everyone had some sort of policy that purchased just about any car they wanted for them whenever they wanted it? What do you think would happen to the prices at your grocery store or at BestBuy if the proprietors of those stores knew, absolutely knew, that you were not even going to look at a price tag before you bought what you wanted? So why do we expect anything but inflated pricing in the health care field?
The market for medical care does not work like other markets. Providers typically do not disclose prices prior to treatment because they do not compete for patients based on price. Payments are usually not made by patients themselves but by third parties "" employers, insurance companies or government (only 12% of medical costs are paid directly by patients, see chart [below]). And the amounts paid are not really market-clearing prices; they are "reimbursement" rates negotiated with bureaucratic institutions and networks. Furthermore, when providers do not compete on price, they usually do not compete on quality either. In fact, in a very real sense, doctors and hospitals are not competing for patients at all "" at least not in the way normal businesses compete in markets.
The author above has an interesting analysis. The one exception to the separation of roles in medicine is cosmetic surgery. Not covered except in special circumstances by most insurance, cosmetic surgery is something the individual must pay for and thus has a tendency to shop for. The results in prices are clear.
This pricing differential is all the more compelling because itis probably opposite what most people would initially assume. As cosmetic surgery tends to be a luxury good, one might expect it to have the higher-than-average inflation rate that many luxury goods have had over the past 10 years.
The flip side of the pricing situation is the incredible dissatisfaction that seems to permeate health care customers. Because the users aren't paying the bills, health care providers have little incentive to provide good service, as even with bad service the value they provide will be able to exceed the user's price of zero, or close to zero.
But, like with the body shop in the collision, someone is indeed paying the bills. And that someone faces a choice -- either let customers run amuck and buy absolutely as much health care as they want, or try to ration or restrain the care users receive in some way. So, when Joe and Mary want the 9th sonogram performed just to make sure their fetus is still doing great, the insurance balks at the cost as unnecessary. The insurance company is upset, because they feel like Joe, Mary, and their doctor are milking the insurance for unnecessary procedures. Joe and Mary get upset, because they feel like the heartless insurance company doesn't care about their little darling baby. Everyone calls their Congressman to tell him or her that they are unhappy and could the government please intervene to make them happier.
And so we get to current health care proposals. Folks have, rightly, come to the conclusion that a system where the user benefits from the service and decides how much and of what quality should be consumed, while someone else pays, is not sustainable. However, in response, no one in power is suggesting we end the split. Instead, they are suggesting that the role of service determination and payment/price-shopping be performed by the government. We as a consumer will just have to trust that the government will make this price-value tradeoff somehow close to how we would make it for ourselves.
But of course, this is absolutely freaking impossible. First and foremost is the problem that the government can only choose one policy for everyone embodying a single point on the trade off curve. But we have 300 million people with 300 million different preference functions. No one is going to be happy. Second, the government is a terrible shopper. We all know this to be true. So why do we think they are going to suddenly become wizards when it comes to health care? Third, the government is a terrible administrator. As a monopoly provider, they simply don't have the inventive to be either responsive of cost-effective. Again, we all know this to be true, so why are we so willing to hope that things will suddenly change for health care?
The only thing that makes any sense at all to me is to try to give the user of health care some financial incentive to participate in the price value tradeoff and shopping process. I know that I have simultaneously saved a ton of money as well as substantially increased my health care shopping IQ since our family adopted a high-deductible health insurance policy. Incredibly, however, this is one solution that absolutely is off the table -- for example, the first step Massachusetts took in their single payer system was making it illegal for consumers to buy the kind of high-deductible insurance I have. Illegal!

Onyebuchi Evelyn Okonji – Profile
Name: Onyebuchi Evelyn Okonji
Email: okonji.buchi@gmail.com
Birthday: October 23
Education: Law Degree
Occupation: Lawyer
A world that works for everyone in my opinion is idealism. In biblical times, it was said 'the poor you will always have with you', and I am informed this is over 2000 years ago. True to this saying, the poor has always been with us, poverty is a major cause of diseases and diseases if unattended lead to death. Is the world then working for such a person? In economics, human wants are said to be insatiable, some people want happiness, others influence, others want wealth and some others power, can the world work for all these people at the same time?
I want to imagine a world that works for everyone, the needs of every person catered. That is like a communist world, which is the only system that can make the world work for everyone. Communism makes people lazy, if Mr. A is informed that he does not need to work so hard because Mr. B's profit is going to be used for the benefit of all including Mr. A, the brain is not challenged to do better and be better.
The world can always be a better place, no violence, equal opportunities, no discrimination but it cannot work for everyone, everyone wants different things and everything. The presence of competition in the world gives man a purpose and purpose is what keeps us alive.
Climate Change: Science has informed us that the current warming trend is extremely likely to be the result of human activity since the mid 20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia. The increased levels of greenhouse gases (include Nitrous oxide, Water vapour, Methane and Carbon dioxide) must cause the earth to warm in response. The effects of climate change amongst others are loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise, intense heat waves/ droughts and changes in precipitation patterns.
War/ Threats of War/Terrorism: Peace is a very expensive word in the world at the moment; countries are either at war, threats of war or terrorism.
The Libyan Civil War in 2011, fought between forces loyal to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and those seeking to oust his government. It was ignited by protests in Benghazi beginning on Tuesday, 15 February 2011, which led to clashes with security forces that fired on the crowd. The protests escalated into a rebellion that spread across the country.Libya is still at war in 2017, this time is an ongoing conflict among rival groups seeking control of the territory of Libya. The conflict has been mostly between the government of the House of Representatives (HoR) elected democratically in 2014, and internationally recognized as the "Libyan government"; and the rival General National Congress(GNC) endorsed government.There has been war in Syria for six years, what started as a peaceful protest against Syria's president, became a full scale war leaving over 300, 000 people dead and the war is still far from being over.
On threats of war, we have the North Korea and the United States, in the event of a war, Hawaii and other countries will be casualties.
In Nigeria there are a lot of terrorism groups, Boko Haram, Movement for the emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), and recently secession cries, leading to loss of lives and properties worth millions.
Climate Change: Reduction of activities that emit greenhouse gases. It has been suggested that people move closer to their place of employment to reduce transportation needs, reduce building activities, also the use of perfumes and there should be more of tree planting.
Wars are usually as a result of poverty, lack of proper education and a minority group feeling oppressed or in rare circumstances a game of pride. To solve these problems, governments of each country should not only be said to do, they should also be seen doing acts to unify their citizens especially countries divided along a plurality of ethnic and religious lines.
The provisions of basic infrastructural amenities for citizens, like housing, clean water, roads, ports, and employment. Government should also invest in citizens by providing quality education. Knowledge is a veritable tool for development. In conclusion, wars should be a last resort to any disagreement between countries or between the various ethnic groups in any given countries. The effects of the war most often than not outlive the number of years the war lasted and surpasses the reason for the war, it can be likened to killing an ant with a sledge hammer.
My name is Onyebuchi Evelyn Okonji. I am a corporate/commercial lawyer with special interest in taxation. In my practice my set goal is staying relevant and providing services of value. As a child, I always wanted to be a model or a FBI Agent, did not know how I planned to actualise that, I still fantasize about being a model, but it is fine I am a lawyer now.
Going forward, I want to be the most influential woman of my generation. We should always leave the world better than we met it, in Chinua Achebe words, "Every generation must recognize and embrace the task it is peculiarly designed by history and by providence to perform." I am going to be a part of this task not a bystander. My role models are late Dora Akunyili, Adiche Chimamanda, Beyonce Knowles Carter and Ophrah Winfrey amongst other status quo challengers. Their lives are examples of why we should never feel disadvantaged and always remember in spite of the odds; we will always win as much as we want to. I think they are phenomenal; their work ethics makes laziness a sin.
At this point, the words of Adiche Chimamanda come to mind, "We all should be feminists." A feminist is a person who believes in the social, economic and political equality of the sexes. I am not about the cold chill that is felt when we hear this words, indeed it is time for women to step on the pedestal and challenge tradition not by placards but being phenomenal and transforming the world.
My favourite movies are Three Idiots, Like Stars on Earth, We are Family, Winnie Mandela, Star Wars and Game of Thrones. My favorite books are Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adiche, Things Fall Apart, There was a Country by Chinua Achebe, Stay with Me by Ayobami Adebayo' amongst others.
I had more leadership experience in High school as opposed to my University days. In High School, I had the responsibility of being the deputy Head girl. I must admit the position shaped me; it was tasking, and thinking of it now, a lot of emotions involved. I was to lead a large number of girls, be a great example even after leaving the school. I never knew I wanted to still be a great example until I went to the University and had academic challenges and what kept me going through those hard indecisive times was the thought of I can't be mediocre, I have to be a good example both in character and learning. In the University, I was the Head of the media team in church, I have a passion for creativity and designs. I have had the great opportunity of working with a Non Governmental Organisation, known as the Federacion Internacional de Abogadas (FIDA) meaning the International Federation of Women Lawyers. My brief experience with them was a tremendous improvement on my communication skill and most importantly an opportunity to serve. At FIDA our target audience were women and Children, we had outreaches, campaigns, seminars, creating awareness amongst the populace to shun violence in any form.

That's when I realized that I Nuovi Professional has a complete range of makeup and even some basic skin care products. The concept store is set up with a Play Bar where customers can test their multitude of eye makeup. I must say they have so many colors to play with!
I Nuovi is a Singapore brand but according to information from their website, their products are developed in Italy, France and Japan. I didn't test any of their colors while at the store but just looking at the makeup of the sales consultants, I believe it's true that their makeup colors are pigment rich and of high intensity. No wonder they're designated as the official makeup for some of the stage plays such as The Crab Flower Club.
While at the store, I noticed their Wall of Fame which indicates their top 10 best sellers of the month. At the top of the list currently is ProLash EX03 which I was told is a very natural looking false eyelash and is out of stock at the stores. I have seen how lovely their lashes look on PrettyBeautiful and was quite happy that they're sponsoring a set for my June VivaBella Giveaway.

Q: Continuity of $x^2$ i'm trying to learn the concept of continuity in a more or less formal basis. One definition of continuity (not the most general, but I better learn step by step) is that a function
$$f:X\subseteq\mathbb{R}\to Y\subseteq\mathbb{R}$$
is continuous at $x_0\in X$ if $$\lim_{x\to x_0}f(x)=f(x_0)$$
This is, $\forall \epsilon>0, \exists \delta>0$ such that $|f(x)-f(x_0)|<\epsilon$ if $x\in X$, $0<|x-x_0|<\delta$
So in order to test if I do understand this, decided to try a particular example, say $f(x)=x^2$, and $f(x_0)=x_0^2$. My first question is:
1) Is an assumption that $f(x_0)=x_0^2$ or do I need to prove it? I think I don't have to prove it because that equality follows from the definition of $f(x)$ but there may be any kind of subtlety that I don't see.
Assuming I can say $f(x_0)=x_0^2$ then the task is to show that there exists such a number $\delta$:
I'm given $\epsilon>0$ such that $|f(x)-f(x_0)|<\epsilon$ this is $|x^2-x_0^2|<\epsilon$, Rewriting $|x^2-x_0^2|=|x-x_0||x+x_0|<\epsilon$
2) Can I set
$$\delta<\frac{\epsilon}{|x+x_0|}?$$
what if $x=-x_0$?
Thanks for your time.

A: There is a fundamental misunderstanding here what the hypothesis is and what you have to prove. The square function is continuous in $x_0$ means (in words): for every positive $\varepsilon$ there exists a positive number $\delta$ such that for every number $x$ with the property $|x-x_0|<\delta$, the inequality $|x^2-x_0^2|<\varepsilon$ holds.
So you are not given an $\varepsilon$ with $|x^2-x_0^2|<\varepsilon$, rather, that is what you ultimately have to prove.
Maybe the square function is not the easiest example to start with; maybe it helps to try a linear function first ($f(x)=ax+b$).

A: 1) $f(x_0)$ is given, in this case $f(x_0)=x_0^2$. To show continuity of $f$, we have to show
$$
\lim_{x\to x_0}f(x)=f(x_0)
$$
2) $\delta$ determines which $x$ are in $|x-x_0|\le\delta$. It is not proper to have $\delta$ depend on $x$; it should only depend on $x_0$ and $\epsilon$.
For example, if $\delta<\min\left(\dfrac{\epsilon}{3x_0}\,,\,\dfrac{x_0}{2}\right)$, then since $x+x_0=2x_0+(x-x_0)$, we have
$$
\begin{align}
\left|\,x^2-x_0^2\,\right|
&=\left|\,x-x_0\,\right|\left|\,x+x_0\,\right|\\
&\le\dfrac{\epsilon}{3x_0}\frac{5x_0}{2}\\
&=\frac{5\epsilon}{6}\\
&\le\epsilon
\end{align}
$$

A: *

*You have defined $f(x)$ so that $f(x_0)=x_0^2$, so this is granted. But you could have defined $f$ differently...

Teen Brutally Beaten by Alleged Arab Clan Members Over Forbidden Love in Germany – Reports
© AFP 2019 / MARCEL KUSCH
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201907031076135323-teen--beaten-alleged-arab-clan-members-germany/
The nearly three-minute video, reportedly filmed in June, shows a group of men grabbing, punching, and kicking an 18-year-old mercilessly in what seems to be a schoolyard. Reports suggest that his affection for a girl from another family is to blame.
The department for clan crimes of the criminal police in the western German city of Essen is investigating a brutal attack on an 18-year-old, which allegedly happened in early June. According to Kieler Nachrichten, the probe is into the Arab-Lebanese community in Eassen.
Senior attorney Anette Milk has confirmed to the German Editorial Network that they are investigating perpetrators, whose names are already known to police, and revealed that the case concerns robbery and dangerous assault. She also noted that the suspects are said to be clan members.
The investigators are probing a video of the beatdown, captured on a smartphone camera and leaked to the media.
The assault is linked to a dispute between two large Arab families, the German outlet Bild reports. The attack played out on 4 June in Essen-Altendorf in a schoolyard, as a nearly three-minute mobile phone video, suggests. On it, about 10 young men are seen hunting the boy down, brutally kicking the 18-year-old and hitting him on the head and upper body. While the victim is trying to hide in the bushes nearby, the attackers pull him back again and again, Bild reports.
According to outlet, the young man's relationship with a girl from the other family led to the violent outcome. The girl he texted via WhatsApp, had reportedly been a decoy.

Submitted to Abort73 by a 52-year-old woman on April 4, 2014.
I would like to share my story in hopes of sparing young women from choosing abortion as an option. It was the worst decision ever made for me. I found out I was pregnant shortly after I turned 17. The poor choices I made resulted in an unplanned pregnancy. I was very scared and unsure what to do and who to confide in. I came from an adoptive family, and I struggled early on with feelings of rejection. I felt little self worth. We were not encouraged to have a voice or speak up for ourselves. I did get the courage to finally confide in my mom—hoping she would support me with this pregnancy. Instead, both parents told me I had to have an abortion. They said it was the best thing for me, and gave me no other option. I know they were embarrassed and ashamed. The father of the baby didn't want the responsibility either. Before I knew it, my mom made an appointment with a doctor to confirm I was pregnant. I felt so scared and alone. I wanted my baby, but I felt I was given no option besides abortion. Even though I wasn't informed about the facts of abortion, I knew it was wrong in my heart. I felt like a lamb lead to slaughter. Everything that happened at the clinic was a blur. After my abortion, I silently grieved for the loss of my baby. I tucked all my pain inside my heart. I became depressed. I didn't love myself and hated myself for allowing this to happen. I did drugs to cover my pain. I still was looking for love in all the wrong ways. My feelings of self worth were at rock bottom. Later, I did met the man who eventually became my husband. I was able to begin to share my pain with someone who truly cared for me. I still carried much emotional pain due to my abortion—for far more years than I care to admit. It changed me completely. I struggled with forgiving my parents for the choice they made for me. I was not a Christian yet. I wondered if God would ever allow me to become pregnant again and if I would be able to carry to term. God graciously blessed my husband and I with two beautiful children. I loved them with all my heart, but I still found it hard to bond with them 100% because shame kept making me feel like I didn't deserve them. I didn't realize all the things I was experiencing and struggling with. I had trouble bonding with my children and having sexual intimacy within my marriage—due to the effects of having had an abortion. It is called post abortion stress syndrome or PASS. Even though I had struggles in my marriage, I was married to a very good man. He stuck by my side and helped me through my pain. I continued to suffer in silence from my abortion. I struggled to see my Heavenly Father in the right light because of my earthy influences. God has been gracious to me and so very patient as he tenderly removed the layers of pain I endured due to my abortion. God is beyond good to me. He has forgiven me of so much. He has shown me so much mercy. If my child had been allowed to be born, he or she would be 36 this year. I feel like I missed out on the wonderful joy this child could have been to me in my life. I wonder if my parents realize they missed out on the love of a grandchild. I do feel like my child was a boy, and I named him Noah—which means "rest/comfort." Eventually, I did go through a post abortive Bible study that brought me further healing. Every time I get to share, it brings more healing. If my story can prevent just one woman from having an abortion and save a baby it will be worth it. I am now not only a mother of two but a grandmother of four. God has turned my mourning into joy and given me beauty for ashes. There is healing and forgiveness found through Jesus Christ. Please, if any young woman is reading this and not sure which way to turn, please go to someone who you can really trust, and get the support you need to choose life for your baby—even if it means putting your baby up for adoption. Give your child a chance to be born. What may seem like a hardship for you now will turn into the greatest blessing if you allow God to help you. DO NOT let anyone talk you into abortion, even if it is your parents. I so wish I had been strong enough to stick up for myself back then and allowed my baby to have a chance at life. Don't suffer in silence anymore, but come to the foot of the cross where there is forgiveness even for the sin of abortion. Abortion hurts women spiritually, emotionally and even physically is some cases, and ends the life of your baby. PLEASE, DON'T DO IT. Please choose life for your precious baby.

Possum Run Greenhouse transformed into country wedding venue
Lou Whitmire
BELLVILLE - The former Possum Run Greenhouse is now The Legacy on Possum Run, a destination wedding venue and event center.
A community open house will be held Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
The open house is the public's first view of the former greenhouse space that has been transformed into a destination wedding venue and event center and will feature the site's three distinct spaces: Heritage Barn, Bridgewater and New Roots Greenhouse.
"This property was such a staple in the community, and we hope to carry on that legacy with the wedding venue" said Whitney Schroeder of The Legacy on Possum Run.
Schroeder of Lexington and her significant other Jack Windsor of Columbus are leasing the site from the property owner.
The couple are combining their expertise in the wedding and business industries.
Schroeder, an Ontario High School graduate, has been in the wedding industry for 15 years and has orchestrated over 300 weddings. She went to college to study event planning and photography. She is also a licensed massage therapist and co-owner of Massage Matters on Lexington.
Windsor, an Ashland native, has spent roughly 15 years as a business strategist and consultant and currently is employed with ES Consulting of Ontario.
They said the site is available for holiday parties, civic organization events, political fundraisers and corporate retreats and more.
"They sky is the limit," Windsor said. "We both feel extremely blessed to have the opportunity to open such to a landmark property back to the community."
"Our vision for The Legacy on Possum Run is to be a magical wedding venue and a center that serves the community with other events as well. We hope to have a huge turnout at the open house and look forward to our guests seeing the beautiful transformation," she said.
The open house will feature: music from NyteFlyte Entertainment; floral arrangements and greenery from Floral Garden Florists and Wade Gardens; food samples from caterers at Buehler's, Der Dutchman, The Cabin and Special Occasions.
"The open house is perfect for anyone planning a wedding in 2020 or 2021, or anyone who knows someone who is. It's a great opportunity to tour the space and will certainly spark ideas for couples still designing their wedding packages. Plus, there are a lot of people in the community who worked and shopped Possum Run Greenhouse and we are excited to invite them back to enjoy an afternoon with us and celebrate", said Jack Windsor of The Legacy on Possum Run.
The Legacy on Possum Run is located at 5384 Possum Run Road.

La Salut és un dels sis barris de què es compon el districte barceloní de Gràcia. Està situat als vessants meridionals dels turons del Carmel i de la Rovira. La seva urbanització es va iniciar la segona meitat del  al voltant de la capella de la Mare de Déu de la Salut que l'any 1876 Antoni Maria Morera i Colom construí annex a la seva casa-torre en uns terrenys seus quan el paratge era ruralia.

En els seus inicis l'activitat més important de la zona era agrícola, podent-s'hi trobar importants masos com el de can Xipreret, can Tusquets, can Muntaner i ca l'Alegre de Dalt, però progressivament va anar convertint-se en zona residencial d'estiueig de la burgesia barcelonina i gracienca. Les comunicacions del barri van anar millorant amb el temps, i així, el 1880 es va inaugurar el tramvia de la plaça de Santa Anna a la de Rovira i Trias, i el 1909 el de la plaça de Lesseps al carrer de l'Escorial, el qual es va obrir fins a la plaça de Joanic. Amb això, una gran zona que es considerava del barri de la Salut va quedar englobada al barri de Gràcia. Un vestigi de la situació anterior és que el carrer d'Argentona, al barri de Gràcia, encara celebra la festa major de la Salut i no pas la de Gràcia. La travessera de Dalt és l'eix que uneix la part baixa del barri. Les illes del front mar de la Travessera, fins als carrers de Cardener i Camèlies, formen el seu límit.

La Salut també és conegut gràcies al Parc Güell d'Antoni Gaudí, que és el límit del front de muntanya del barri. Altres indrets destacats són el santuari de Sant Josep de la Muntanya i el Club Tennis de la Salut.

Festa Major de la Salut

El barri de la Salut organitza la seva pròpia festa major, diferenciada de la de la vila de Gràcia, des de l'any 1864, en què se celebrà el dia 11 de setembre.

Del 1864 fins al 1869 s'escaigué el segon diumenge de setembre, i del 1870 fins avui se celebra al voltant del dia 8 de setembre, festa de les Mares de Déu Trobades.

Aquesta festa comptà amb la instal·lació d'envelats, el primer dels quals es trobava als camps que existien prop de la Travessera de Dalt.

Veïns il·lustres
 Dolors Aleu i Riera: nascuda a la Salut el 1857, fou la primera dona que va aconseguir a l'estat espanyol el títol de llicenciada en Medicina.
 Pompeu Fabra i Poch: nascut a la Salut el 1868, fou el creador de la normativa moderna de la llengua catalana.
 Antoni Gaudí i Cornet: arquitecte, nascut a Reus el 1852, visqué al Parc Güell des del 1906 fins al 1926, any en què morí.
 Eusebi Güell i Bacigalupi, comte de Güell: nascut el 1846, fou el mecenes del Parc Güell i una de les grans fortunes del món, visqué a la Salut des del 1906 fins al 1918, any de la seva mort.
 Ovidi Montllor i Mengual: cantautor i actor, nascut a Alcoi el 1942. Visqué a la Salut des de ben jove, fins que morí el 1995.
 Ernest Lluch i Martín: economista, polític, escriptor i professor, nascut a Vilassar de Mar el 1937. Visqué uns bons anys a la Salut mentre feia de Ministre de Sanitat i Consum.

Best Footballer In The World – Here Are 2020's Top Ten
by Oseg Hale May 22, 2020, 10:55 am 6k Views
The old guard seems to have abated a little and new faces have risen in the game of football. Some of last season's best performers have failed to replicate their form this year.
When you consider the current scenario, you'll find that a lot of new players have taken the world by storm thus causing the list of the best footballer in the world to undergo a change.
Though each fan has his/her own opinion about who the best footballer in the world should be, nearly everyone agrees on the greatness of a few players.
Now how did I come up with this best footballer in the world list? For the most part, I put a lot of consideration to the length of a player's success, but where things were close, I leaned towards recent seasons.
Club and international play were considered equally, and team success was also factored in.
Without further ado, here is my list of the 10 best footballers in the world for 2019.
SEE ALSO | Super Eagles World Cup Jersey From 1994 Till Date: The FULL Breakdown
I know what you're thinking: 'what is this guy doing on this best footballer in the world list? Eden Hazard won't even make my starting XI!' Remember I said this is my list? So Hazard is in!
The Belgian has been at his imperious best as usual notching 12 goals and 4 assists in 33 appearances.
Eden Hazard was instrumental in the Blues' title-winning campaign last season and is set to play the same role this year.
Chelsea will require him in every game if they want to seal a Champions League place for the next season.
Teams: Belgium, Chelsea
Team number: 10 (both teams)
Birth date: January 7, 1991
There was a lot of criticism on Paul Pogba for his irregular performances last season, but the Frenchman is back with a bang this season.
His performing well this season was inevitable following his award of Best Player of the UEFA Europa League last season.
As expected, Pogba has flourished in an attacking role, becoming perhaps the most influential figure in the current Manchester United set-up.
Teams: France, Manchester United
Team number: 6 (both teams)
Birth date: March 15, 1993
If this were a list of midfielders, Kevin De Bruyne would have scooped the first prize by a mile.
SEE ALSO: List of Premier League Winners: Complete From (1889)
The midfielder is very much likely to lay his hands on some accolades on both club and personal level this season.
Holding on to players like David Silva and Sergio Aguero is why the Citizens have succeeded in establishing themselves as a major powerhouse.
Doing the same with the Belgian will be equally very important because, with the impressive performances De Bruyne has put in, transfer bids have already started flooding and there'll be more to come in the summer, though they have tied him up until 2023.
Teams: Argentina, Manchester City
Birth date: June 28, 1991
Like it or yes, the best goalkeeper in the world right now is David De Gea, period.
The Spaniard has been Manchester United's best player through and through, winning the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award thrice since 2014.
If it wasn't for De Gea, the Red Devils would have been humiliated frequently considering their lacklustre defensive records in the past.
The United Goalie has maintained the highest number of clean sheets in the league.
Teams: Spain, Manchester United
Birth date: November 7, 1990
Mohamed Salah arrived Liverpool from Roma in July of 2017 and immediately set the Premier League on fire and led The Reds to a berth in the Champions League Final — scoring 11 goals during that run.
SEE ALSO: Football Club With Most Trophies In The World – Listed FULLY
The Egyptian's 32 goals in a 38-game Premier League season set a new record, surpassing the old mark of 31.
The former Chelsea forward also set Premier League season records for most left-footed goals (25), most goals by an African player (32) and most games scored in (24).
Salah also bagged a record three Premier League Player of the Month Awards.
Teams: Egypt, Liverpool F.C.
Team number: 11 (LFC) 10 (Egypt)
A complete finisher, Sergio Aguero was part of Argentina's run to the 2018 World Cup finals, where the team ultimately lost to France.
The Argentine was involved in securing two title wins under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini, scoring that famous late winner against QPR in 2012 to seal the Premier League.
Teams: Argentina, Manchester City F.C.
Team number: 19 (Argentina), 10 (Manchester)
Birth date: June 2, 1988
SEE ALSO: Neymar Salary: How Much Is The PSG Star Currently Worth?
Neymar has, as of 2018, scored more goals than Messi and Ronaldo had at the same stage of their careers and he has the capacity to be the very best once Ronaldo and Messi's career finally winds down.
The Brazilian forms one of the best attacking lineups in the history of soccer.
Teams: Brazil, F.C. Barcelona
Team number: 10 (Brazil), 11 (Barcelona)
Birth date: February 5, 1992
Luis Suarez's ability to strike is not up for debate. The Barcelona striker is a master at weaving his way into the box 18 and is very deadly in one-on-one situations and he is an excellent free-kick taker.
His link-up play with teammates cannot be overemphasized, and he always gives 100 per cent.
Suarez has a penchant for conning referees which remains his Achilles heel, but that did not stop Barca from paying Liverpool $128.5 million for the player in July 2014.
Teams: Uruguay, F.C. Barcelona
Birth date: January 24, 1987
The Argentine is a multi-year winner of FIFA's Player of the Year Award and is generally considered to be the best soccer player of all time.
Lionel Messi's ability to mesmerize defenders with a mix of skill and speed is unrivalled, and did you know sometimes I feel as though the ball is glued to his feet.
The Barcelona/Argentina captain led his home country to the 2018 World Cup final, losing 4-3 to France.
Messi is a serial winner with Barcelona and is versatile enough to play anywhere across the frontline.
Teams: Argentina, F.C. Barcelona
Cristiano Ronaldo is – as far as I'm concerned – the best footballer in the world!
Lionel Messi is the only player in the same league as Ronaldo. CR7 is stronger and taller than the Argentine, and his goals-to-games ratio is similar.
Ronaldo was in 2016 named FIFA's Player of the Year, making it his fourth such honour.
Since joining Real Madrid from Manchester United in 2009, Ronaldo has been a revelation. His famous stopover is imitated in parks across the world.
The Portuguese now plays for Juventus.
Teams: Portugal, Juventus

I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church.
I wonder what is the sense in which Anglican theology uses the word "Catholic". Naturally, it does not refer to the Catholic Church (as in the Latin Catholic Church and other churches which are in communion with the Pope). But does it include it? Or is the word Catholic simply taken to mean "universal", as in the original Nicene creed, and so it does not have a particular interpretation?
It is quite hard to find online material on this, because as soon as you search "anglican catholic" and related searches, million of sites appear on the issue of anglican-catholicism. Maybe someone acquainted with the topic can help out.
The original 1662 Book of Common Prayer did use a capitalized "Catholic" in the Nicene Creed.
However, this is more a stylistic choice used at the time in which many important words were capitalized (as the German language still does today). Other words such as "Begotten", "Baptism", and "Sins" are all capitalized. Thus we shouldn't assume that just because it is capitalized that it refers to the Catholic Church.
Common Worship, the 21st century successor to Book of Common Prayer, uses a lower case "catholic" to reflect how the English language and its grammar rules have changed over the last several hundred years.
The word "catholic" means "according to the whole"
The term ["catholic"] is used also to mean those Christian churches that maintain that their episcopate can be traced unbrokenly back to the apostles and consider themselves part of a catholic (universal) body of believers. Among those who regard themselves as Catholic but not Roman Catholic are Anglicans and Lutherans, who stress that they are both Reformed and Catholic.
In other words, Anglicans have the same quality as both the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran Church in that they have continuity with the early Church, but they are also Reformed in that they follow the teachings espoused during the Reformation.
It is Catholic as the universal Church of Christ. The Bishop of Canterbury has said we are Catholic but not Roman, Reformed but not Protestant.

HBO has the ending Game of Thrones and whatever spinoffs they create from it. Amazon has their juggernaut of a Lord of the Rings series in the works. Lionsgate is developing a TV series, movies, and more based on Patrick Rothfuss's "The Kingkiller Chronicle" books.
Now, to keep the party going, Netflix has a second big name fantasy title on the way. In addition to their series based on The Witcher, they've announced that they are developing new series and films based on author C.S. Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia" books.
The next installment of the Chronicles of Narnia movie franchise, titled The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair, has found a director. Joe Johnston, who directed Captain America: The First Avenger for Marvel, Jumanji, and much more, has signed on to the project.
The sequel is the first in the series in the better part of a decade. The last entry was The Voyage of the Dawn Treader back in 2010. Before that was Prince Caspian in 2008, and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 2005.
Sony's TriStar Pictures will be help bring The Silver Chair, the next installment in The Chronicles of Narnia film franchise, to the big screen, along with The Mark Gordon Company, The C.S. Lewis Company, and Entertainment One (eOne).
It was revealed back in January that The Mark Gordon Company and The C.S. Lewis Company were jointly developing The Silver Chair, which will reboot the film franchise and bring on a entirely new creative team.
The Chronicles of Narnia movie franchise has traveled a rough road, being dumped and picked up by different movie studios a couple of times, but it's not dead just yet.
It was back in 2013 when we found out that a fourth movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair, was officially on the way. The movie would be a co-production of The Mark Gordon Company and C.S. Lewis Company, with C.S. Lewis's stepson Douglas Gresham developing the screenplay along with Mark Gordon and C.S. Lewis Company director Vincent Sieber. Now Gordon has offered an update on the next movie in the franchise, saying that not only is it still alive and well but that it will be a reboot of the franchise entirely.
The Chronicles of Narnia movies, which are based on the books of author C.S. Lewis, never quite seemed to pop as a franchise like The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, for example. The movies did well enough at the box office—the first and best movie, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, doing a massive $745 million worldwide, and its sequels, Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader scoring $419 million and $415 million, around double their budgets—but the latter two were not well-met critically and didn't make much of an impact.
After Fox took over the franchise from Disney for the third movie and things didn't go any better than the second, it felt like that might have been the last of the Chronicles of Narnia we would see. Not so fast. It's being reported that a fourth movie in the franchise is indeed on the way, based on the book The Silver Chair.

Q: Extend browser functionality in Android When I open the Android's default browser I want to add a button or a menu entry when it's clicked to open my Intent and pass me the current url parameter.
Is this possible in Android?

A: Only by means of the Share option, if the browser in question has one. The standard AOSP Browser app will have such a "Share" option in the action overflow. It triggers an ACTION_SEND Intent, with a MIME type of text/plain, so any activities claiming to support that in the manifest via an <intent-filter> will be able to respond:
        <intent-filter android:label="@string/app_name">
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>

            <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
        </intent-filter>

A: Of course, you can get the current url:
URL url = new URL(mWebView.getUrl());

A: I don't know if I understood this right, but I think this what you want.
When the user clicks your button, you can redirect to a custom url, somesite://current_page_url. using javascript or the addon's capability.
That can be picked up by your intent filter with host set to "somesite", as done here.

The Punkah Project
The Punkah Project Website
In many elite Southern homes, punkahs, ceiling-mounted fans manipulated by enslaved workers, were an integral part of the architecture of the dining room in the antebellum United States. Paralleling their relationship to American slavery was their use in British India, where the fans had a long history of being powered by low-caste workers. Pushing past the fans' decorative and utilitarian qualities, this essay examines the devices' shifting relationship to slavery and freedom through an examination of their operation within the spaces of elite homes. Both planters and their workers benefited, albeit differently, from their interactions with the fans. Elite planters enjoyed the fans' cooling breezes, insect-free mealtimes, and the opportunity to display their wealth and refinement. Even though they were consigned to labor at the fans, enslaved workers likely used their proximity to elite whites to learn "genteel" codes of behavior, while gleaning information about the plantation world and beyond. The end of slavery did not mark the end of punkahs; rather, the fans were used to celebrate the "noble" history of the Old South while eliding any reference of slavery.

Mary Rothbart's Temperament Questionnaires
In 1981, Dr. Rothbart introduced the Infant Behavior Questionnaire, a parent- report instrument based in her definition of temperament as "constitutionally based individual differences in reactivity and regulation." Over the past quarter-century, this instrument has become one of the most widely employed measures of infant temperament. During the past 45 years, she has collaborated with several graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to develop and refine a battery of questionnaires to assess finely-differentiated aspects of temperament across the life span.
In 2000, a website was established at the University of Oregon to facilitate the dissemination of these instruments. In 2006, the site was moved to its current location at Bowdoin College. Although Sam Putnam and his Bowdoin students manage the day-to-day operations, this site is a collaborative effort coordinating the expertise of the individuals who developed the measures with Mary, including Lesa Ellis and Jennifer Simonds (Westminster College), Masha Gartstein (Washington State University), and David Evans (H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute).

New and emerging technologies are transforming the production and dissemination of knowledge. Digital and computational methods and analysis are creating the ability and opportunity to address new questions and data sets, and adding new perspectives to the core questions that have always concerned the humanities, social sciences, and natural & physical sciences.
But these technological transformations are not solely a one-way street. The liberal arts, broadly speaking, also have the power – perhaps the responsibility – to participate in and shape the development, use and interpretative capabilities of these tools. Bowdoin's "Digital and Computational Studies Initiative" invites faculty across the College to work together to integrate new technologies, methodologies and forms of knowledge production into our curriculum and our scholarship.
