Of canaries and coal mines
Are women the canaries in the coal mine, their ill treatment signalling larger problems within a society? Or is there something deeper going on? Might male-female relations actually be the coal mine itself?
Valerie Hudson
When the celebrated feminist writer Robin Morgan heard that I was co-authoring a new book called The Hillary Doctrine, she asked me what it was about. I told her it was the story of how women's issues came to matter in US foreign policy, and also the implementation of that vision while Hillary Clinton was US secretary of state. She made only two requests of me. The first, which made me chuckle, was to make sure the book did not contain the word "disseminate." Easily done with a global search and replace!
The second request was a far more difficult one. Robin asked me not to use the phrase "women's issues." Taken aback, I asked why. She explained that if I used that term, I would be signaling that these issues were only of concern to women and not to men, and that certainly was not true. At the time, I remember thinking that was a good point taken a bit too far.
Now, with the book finished and reflecting on all I learned through the experience, I see more clearly why Robin made that request. In the course of doing research for the book, my co-author Pat Leidl interviewed journalist Charles Bowden, who asked her pointedly, "Isn't focusing on women just putting a gas mask on the canary, when you really should be fixing the coal mine?"
When I heard that, all my years of collecting and analyzing data on women's situation in the world rose up in me like an unstoppable wave. After almost two decades of intensive research I find it impossible to see women as canaries. Rather, women, or more precisely male-female relations, are the coal mine, and the canary that keels over in response does so in the form of explosive national instability. If true, then in the US case, foreign policy has only ever been in the business of putting gas masks on that canary and, until the advent of the Hillary Doctrine, hadn't even considered tackling the coal mine.
Hillary Clinton proposed that, "The subjugation of women is . . . a direct threat to the common security of our world and to the national security of our country." In an interview with Donald Steinberg, former deputy administrator of USAID, he explained to me, "Compare those societies that respect women and those who don't. Who's trafficking in weapons, drugs? Who's harboring terrorists and starting pandemics? Whose problems require US troops on the ground? There's a one-to-one correspondence. Don't tell me there's no relationship between national security and the empowerment of women."
Steinberg is inviting us to see how "women's issues" are not small, soft, dismissable issues, but rather some of the most central to national and international security. If the security of women is integrally linked to the security of the states in which they live, then nations are insecure and unstable to the degree to which women's security is compromised. And the degree to which the international system or its regional subsystems are dominated by states in which women are insecure, so too do those systems become insecure and unstable. Is it really possible, for example, for China to "rise peacefully" while culling almost fifteen percent of its daughters from the birth population and continuing the practice of government-mandated forced abortions and sterilizations of women? Using the lens of the Hillary Doctrine, I think not.
It's ironic, then that the Realpolitik of diplomats and soldiers is set up as the foil to the Hillary Doctrine, for there is copious empirical evidence that the security of women and the security of the states in which they lived are closely linked. For example, research reveals that the very best predictor of a state's peacefulness is not its level of wealth, its level of democracy, or its ethno-religious identity; the best predictor of a state's peacefulness is the security of its women. What's more, democracies with higher levels of violence against women are as insecure and unstable as non-democracies. The "Fempolitik" encoded in the Hillary Doctrine is a central pillar of clear-eyed Realpolitik.
So Robin Morgan was right. To the extent that we use the phrase "women's issues," we are helping to perpetuate this blindness. When we want to talk about women, we must underscore that what affects women affects men simultaneously - affects humanity as a whole.
The most poignant statement on this, I think, came not from policymakers or pundits, but rather from a source who was living it in the trenches in the failed 2009 Green Revolution in Iran. Many of the male dissidents began to appear in women's headscarves, the rusari, in their photos and public appearances. While the back story on this was complex, one dissident stated something remarkable. He said, "We Iranian men are late doing this. . . . If we did this when rusari was forced on those among our sisters who did not wish to wear it 30 years ago, we would have perhaps not been here today."
This is the clear vision needed on "women's issues" if we hope for a better world. No canary, then, but the coal mine itself.

Home Breaking News Patient who visited Hemas Hospital Thalawathugoda tests positive for coronavirus
Patient who visited Hemas Hospital Thalawathugoda tests positive for coronavirus
A patient who visited the Emergency Treatment Unit (ETU) of Hemas Hospital Thalawathugoda on 19th October 2020 was transferred to Sri Jayewardenepura General Hospital (SJGH) on the advice of the Consultant Nephrologist.
The patient has tested positive for the coronavirus on 20th October 2020 at SJGH. Due to the hospital's stringent protocols, this patient was not exposed to public areas of the facility and the hospital did not compromise the safety of the staff, customers and the community, Hemas Hospital Thalawathugoda said in a statement today.
Upon this information the hospital has taken the following steps immediately:
A risk assessment was carried out as per MOH guideline dated 24th April 2020 titled
"Management of Accidental Discovery of Suspected COVID-19 Patient in the Hospital" with the participation of independent consultant physician, consultant intensivist, consultant microbiologist, infection control nursing authority and the medical administration attached to the hospital.
Eight staff members have been isolated under the watchful eyes of Public Health Inspectors (PHI).
The area health authorities were informed of the incident and the risk assessment reviewed.
PCR tests were carried out immediately on staff and all test results were negative.
The staff members will continue to be in quarantine for 14 days and PCR tests will be repeated on day 7 and day 14.
ETU, patient's path and all surfaces have been disinfected using 0.1% hypochlorite and 70% alcohol in addition to routine surface disinfection every 2 hours as per the hospital protocol.
The ETU and all departments of the hospital are functioning as usual
The hospital says it will continue to adhere strictly to Ministry of Health directives and guidelines in implementing COVID -19 safety protocols and measures including proper triaging, segregation of high risk patients with separate isolation areas, special areas with HEPA-filters, UV and Plasma Air Ionizer disinfection to prevent cross contamination, proper handwashing and sanitizing facilities and crowd management. In addition, the hospital promotes the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) of highest standards by staff.
"The safety and well-being of our patients and employees will continue to be our highest priority and we remain committed to providing quality healthcare, adhering to the best practices in infection control," Hemas Hospital Thalawathugoda said.
Hemas Hospitals says it will continue to partner the Government of Sri Lanka and the public health system in battling the pandemic by providing accessibility to routine quality and affordable healthcare. (Colombo Gazette)

To the friends who made me.
I can sit here today and with a strong bitter-sweet feeling, and say that you four truly changed my life. There will never be better days in my life when we met. The only things that outpaces and improves on those days, is the days when we were able to all be together and do something that brought us closer together. Those times and those movements are things that I will carry with me and bring to the universe whenever I can because I know you four deserve to be recognized for the souls you carry.
I remember the day when we all met, and I'm glad that is the strongest memory because we both know high school was nothing but a mixed bag of emotions. Those days of dealing with boys and other "friends" almost broke all of us but together we made it through and make our relationships stronger. We met on that first day of sophomore year in home-room and it really cemented throughout that year. For those next three years, we were unstoppable in our own minds and I'll never give up those memories for no matter where we go.
Those days when life had to pull us apart weren't sad and heart-breaking, they were full of tears but with happiness, of what was next. The first one of the four had to go experience life in a new career, the next had to go get a masters a degree at a college (I still don't think is good because it's football team stinks) the next of us of course had to meet a boy, to see that relationship unfold made us all happy no matter where we were when you FaceTimes us one by one to show us that ring. Then one of us who had to be so free-spirited she started to travel the world, the one we marvel in awe of her Instagram. Those paths made our stories even better. Even though we had to separate I still appreciate life for giving us new chapters.
I am the only one that stayed home in this town we learned to truly appreciate as we got older. I will always hold this place so you can always come home and we can always reminisce. I'm so proud and thankful of you all, I'm excited to see where you go and I'm excited to see who you become. I can't wait to see your hearts be filled with love as we each get married off and reconvene to watch each marry the person that deserves you.
No matter where you are in the world, no matter what you learn, no matter the family you create, no matter the career you embrace and no matter the distance we hold we will always be there in spirit. Thank you for everything you have done for me and thank you for everything you have given me because my growth is from you.
This is so sweet!! I miss my high school friends SO MUCH and they truly did help me become who I am today. Beautiful post.
Very sweet post. Sounds like you all have a beautiful relationship.
What a sweet sentiment. I had close friends in high school, and I even think of some of them fondly, but I was profoundly aware that life moves on, and high school is a blip in our lives, so why bring a bunch of people with you. I was wrong. I don't necessarily miss that I don't talk to anyone from high school anymore, but I thoroughly enjoy reading posts like this one. There is something sweet about a group of friends that stay together through the phases of life.

In this series, Dr Elizabeth Sapey presents a series of articles to support best practice in the primary care management of COPD. Topics covered include medications for the management of COPD, breathlessness, exacerbations, COPD and co-morbidities, and end-of-life conversations.
There are 1.2 million people in the UK who have been diagnosed with COPD,1 however screening studies suggest that 3 million people have the condition,3 meaning that there are millions of people in the UK who have COPD but have not been diagnosed.
This series will consider how to look after a patient with COPD once the diagnosis has been made.
Patients with COPD who continue to smoke experience worse symptoms and have poorer health outcomes compared with those who stop smoking, who have improved survival rates and better lung function, whatever their age or disease severity.4 Smoking cessation is vital, and it is never too late—individualised plans should be made to support patients in their efforts to quit.
Vaccines work—seasonal influenza and pneumococcal immunisations reduce exacerbation frequency and severity, hospital admissions, and death rates in people with COPD.5,6 Influenza immunisation is not associated with COPD exacerbations but transient and mild side effects are common.6,7 Vaccination should be championed for people with COPD.
Exercise is important for people with COPD, and pulmonary rehabilitation has been shown to reduce symptoms of breathlessness and fatigue; improve quality of life, exercise tolerance, and confidence; and reduce healthcare utilisation.8 In spite of this, referral and uptake rates for pulmonary rehabilitation are poor.8 We need to discuss these very real benefits with patients and make referrals for pulmonary rehabilitation more often.

Superman: Son of Kal-El Answers Against Snyder's Superman Criticism
in Franchises, Books & Comics, Celebrities, DC, Movies, News, TV
Aditi Thosar October 24, 2021, 11:16 am
Warning: Spoilers for Superman: Son of Kal-El #4, on sale now from DC Comics.
Zack Snyder's Superman as played by Henry Cavill didn't start on the right foot on the DC Universe. Many fans saw him as too cold and detached as compared to Marvel's Captain America and other characters. It took Snyder's Superman to come into his more compassionate element. It wasn't until Justice League when we see Superman more evolved as a superhero.
Son of Kal-El Vs Superman
However, Superman: Son of Kal-El #4 has now introduced a new Superman and he answers Snyder's biggest criticism.
Snyder's Superman and The Criticism Surrounding
Since Kal-El was always far away from his heritage and identity, he didn't really know how to be a virtuous hero. In fact, it feels like he didn't want to come off as a savior and hence people bashed him for destroying Metropolis in his fight against Zod.
Similar things happened in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice where we see experienced Kal-El as more detached from people he saved. He came off almost god-like as evidenced by the scene in which people he rescued try to touch him while he has no interest in them. Also, in the scene where he saves people from flood, he flies above looking ethereal. Scenes like these felt against the actual iconic DC Superman. It wasn't until Justice League that Superman smiled and came into his element.
How Son of Kal-El Answers This Criticism?
The first four issues of Superman: Son of Kal-El show Jon Kent as completely opposite. Written by Tom Taylor, John Timms Daniele Di Nicuolo, Gabe Etalb, and Dave Sharpe, the new comic shows Jon Kent as a more compassionate and people's superhero.
Jon Kent Hugging Firestarter
When he saves post-humans such as the fire-starter and earth-quaking Faultline, he shows a more caring attitude. He even hugs the firestarter showing empathy. So far, the new Superman has faced his fair share of challenges. He has saved animals from falling buildings and positively interacted with the people he saved. When he saves the Gamorran refugees and refuses to leave them to authorities, his caring and compassionate attitude is highlighted.
The new Superman shows love to people he saves. In fact, he even gets arrested while participating in a protest. He doesn't have the ego as associated with Snyder's Superman. He comes less as Man of Steel but a true Man of Tomorrow. This Superman has a heart and he is not afraid to show it.

Network connectivity defines two things - how many people will be able to browse a given website concurrently and how swiftly they will be able to accomplish that. In case the connection capacity is lower, for example, the maximum throughput could be reached with several visitors surfing around the site, so newcomers won't be able to gain access to the pages, or in a different scenario, all site visitors can have difficulties. When the capacity is enough, but the server access speed is lower, it will require longer for any web page on the website to load and this may lead to visitors simply closing the Internet site, if they notice that they must wait for a few minutes just to see a few pages. In this light, if you would like to start and maintain a prosperous web presence, the web server where you host your website should supply both excellent access speeds and high traffic capacity.
By purchasing a web hosting account from us, you can take advantage of multi-gigabit connectivity and enjoy speedy and uninterrupted website performance. A variety of Internet Service Providers and direct fiber routes to major urban centers across 3 continents guarantee that your visitors will not have any difficulties opening your site and that they will be able to browse your content as quickly as their own Internet connection lets them. The traffic between the machines which are part of our avant-garde cloud platform, as well as the whole incoming/outgoing traffic, is handled by new very effective switches, routers and hardware firewalls. The network in each of the three data centers which we use is backed up as a failsafe against any unforeseen problem, so the sites hosted on our web servers shall be reachable all the time.
The semi-dedicated hosting accounts that we offer are set up on our superb web hosting platform and when you purchase any one of the plans, you can benefit from a multi-gigabit connection. Our hi-tech data center in the heart of Chicago uses a number of Internet backbone service providers and the latest hardware to facilitate the access to any site hosted there as well as the inner traffic between the clusters which are part of our platform. With a terabit fiber-optic connection to both the East Coast and the West Coast, the data center will allow you to reach an incredible number of online users in North America. We have hardware firewalls to ensure that the channel capacity shall be used just for legitimate traffic to your sites.

The USA is a country of vast extremes, tropical beaches in the Florida keys, snow capped peaks in the Rocky mountains and hot desserts in Nevada. It really is a country where you can have any kind of trip!
Iconic cities such as New York, Chicago and Boston are a haven for the city dweller with plenty of landmarks, museums, sports games and shopping opportunities. All of the USA's cities also have thriving bar and restaurant scenes where your taste buds can be tantalised at any time of day or night!
Away from the cities, beautiful spots such as Lake Michigan, Maine and Lake Tahoe offer a holiday in stunning surroundings where outdoor activities are plentiful.

Can somebody explain me why on CentOS 7 it works fine and in Debian 9 I have problem on my LG TV with "unstable network connection" and When I start video after 1 min I'm getting "network disconnect"?
Last edited by AQUSTIQ on Thu Oct 12, 2017 8:16 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Could it be related to my issue?
no this is not the problem.
OK. Seems like I have isolated my problem. I connected one of my LG TV to WiFi (Tp_link EAP245) and I can access internet without problem.
When this TV was wired connected I didn't have any problems.
I have another older LG TV wired connected. If I turn on only wired connected TV serviio works fine. If turn on both TV serviio on wired connected TV is very slow.
Seems like serviio has a big problem to work with wireless connected devices. Zip, do you have any tricks for this?
It's all Java based, I don't use any tricks.
Make sure you bind Serviio to the right NIC in the console.

Whether telling stories or working cattle, Andrew McCrea balances a multi-faceted career.
Everybody has a story. That's what Andrew McCrea has discovered during his travels as an agricultural leader, speaker, broadcaster and author.
McCrea, who serves on his local Agri Services board, was keynote speaker at MFA Incorporated's 2018 annual meeting Nov. 27. His speaking career began when he was a state and national FFA officer. Since 1996, McCrea has produced "American Countryside," a nationally syndicated radio program broadcast daily on more than 100 stations plus satellite radio. Even after 22 years and 5,000-plus shows, there's an endless supply of ideas, he said.
He may spend his time telling tales about others, but McCrea has quite an interesting story of his own. It's one of leadership and entrepreneurship, natural-born talent and fierce family ties. The 46-year-old is not only an award-winning broadcaster, celebrated author and sought-after speaker but he's also a fifth-generation farmer who balances his successful communications career with his cattle and row-crop farm near Maysville in northwest Missouri. The farm was established by McCrea's great-great-grandfather in 1910.
When McCrea was growing up, his father, M.L., and grandfather, Maurice, ran a renowned purebred Angus business and showed cattle all over the country. Maurice was also longtime beef cattle superintendent of the Missouri State Fair.
McCrea figured farming would be his full-time career, too, but his involvement in FFA sent him on a life-changing journey. Terms as Missouri FFA president in 1991-92 and then national FFA secretary from 1993-94 required extensive travel, public appearances, leadership training and speaking opportunities—all skills that would serve McCrea well in his next chapter.
With about half the farm's 4,500 acres in pasture, there's a lot of ground to cover when checking or working cattle. That's why the McCreas usually round them up by horseback. They continually bring in stocker cattle at 400-500 pounds and market them at around 900 pounds.His FFA experiences also sparked an interest in broadcasting, even though he was majoring in general agriculture at the University of Missouri.
His first radio gig was an internship with the Brownfield Network in Jefferson City during his senior year at Mizzou. When he graduated in May 1996, Brownfield offered him a full-time job.
McCrea started his run with Brownfield in the fall of 1996, working in the studio three or four days a week, mainly doing the daily market reports. But he had something bigger in mind—a concept that had been brewing since his days as a national FFA officer.
Station No. 1 was KFEQ in St. Joseph. Story No. 1 featured the president of the New Jersey Sweet Potato Association.
U.S. Farm Report and can be seen on RFD-TV. This past summer, he also launched a Farm Journal podcast, "Farming the Countryside," which exclusively features agricultural topics.
McCrea said his speaking and broadcasting careers are inextricably entwined, a proverbial chicken-and-egg scenario.
His interviews have also given McCrea material for several books, including "American Countryside," "The Man Who Was President for a Day" and "God's Perfect View." His latest book, "Total Town Makeover," came out in January and chronicles stories of small towns that have been revitalized by their citizens.
No matter where he travels, however, McCrea is quick to say that home is his favorite place to be. In fact, he ends his on-stage presentations with a photo of the sign pointing the way to McCrea Farms, where he and his father keep up to 2,000 stocker cattle and raise row crops and pasture on 4,500 acres.
McCrea and his wife, Paula, are raising the sixth generation on the farm with their children, Luke, 11, and Alison, 10. The majority of McCrea's broadcasts are produced from his "home" studio, which allows him to be more available for his family.
He's also active in the agricultural industry and his local community, serving as past president of the Missouri Beef Industry Council and currently on the board of directors for MFA Agri Services in Maysville.

Weather extremes and marketplace challenges dominated discussions at MFA's 2018 Annual Meeting, held Nov. 27 at the Holiday Inn Executive Center in Columbia.
With so many outside forces at work—from economics and trade to regulations and technology—the meeting's theme, "Empower Change," was even more meaningful, said CEO Ernie Verslues. His president's address outlined some of the ways MFA took charge of change in 2018 for the betterment of the cooperative and its farmer-owners.
More than 600 delegates, employees and special guests attended the meeting, which featured exhibits by MFA's operating divisions and MFA Oil.
Even with weather and political issues affecting yield and prices, MFA managed to stay profitable, said Board Chairman Wayne Nichols. He specifically mentioned MFA's efforts in helping farmers through the summer drought.
Verslues listed other operational highlights of 2018, including cutting-edge livestock feeds, MFA's PowerCalf app, a successful first full year at the Hamilton Rail Facility, MFA's proprietary MorCorn and MorSoy brands of seed and industry-leading precision programs. He also reported that MFA is nearing completion of its MerchantAg software implementation at all company-owned stores, an upgrade that will provide better data access and management.
The biggest change for MFA in recent months is the reorganization of the cooperative's sales structure, resulting from the recommendations of a committee assembled from a cross-section of the company.
What won't change, he added, is MFA's attention to people, finances, products, services and facilities.
Financial highlights of MFA's 2018 fiscal year, which ended Aug. 31, were shared by Chief Financial Officer Jeff Raetz. Consolidated sales reached $1.76 billion, which includes volume from MFA's business entities and joint ventures.
In 2018, MFA Incorporated's cooperative business reached $1.05 billion in sales. MFA Enterprises, a wholly owned subsidiary of MFA Incorporated, had $195 million in sales. Formed in 2001, MFA Enterprises represents non-cooperative expansion in southern Iowa, southeast Kansas, west-central Missouri and northwest Missouri.
Northwest Missouri Grain, also known as the MFA Rail Facility, reached $58 million this year. This joint venture with MFA Oil Co. opened in the summer of 2017.
Other joint ventures include AGRIServices of Brunswick, Cache River Valley Seed, Mid-State Seed and Alliance Animal Care. MFA holds a 50-percent ownership in these companies. The cooperative also has 45-percent stake in Central Missouri AGRIService. Together, the joint ventures delivered $462 million in sales this year.
Pre-tax profits were $8.3 million, and MFA will return $5.1 million to member-owners in cash patronage and equity retirements.
While it was a "respectable profit year," Raetz said, those figures aren't ultimately where MFA needs to be. He attributed both the summer drought and harvest rains for the less-than-expected financial performance.
Reviewing financial performance by category, Raetz reported that grain sales were $519 million, an increase of $37 million, with 84 million bushels handled throughout the system. Anticipating lower yields from this past season, he said the 2019 plan forecasts just over 70 million bushels.
Field crop sales—which includes plant foods, seed and crop protection—were $613 million, an increase of $31 million over fiscal 2017. Raetz attributed the increase to a "good year" for plant food sales, which increased $41 million. MFA's MorSoy and MorCorn also continue to make up a larger portion of seed sales.
The drought, however, negatively affected crop protection sales, which decreased $9 million.
Livestock supply sales increased $15 million to a total of $173 million, which includes feed, animal health and farm supply sales.
Total margins and operating revenues were $223 million, an increase of $4 million from fiscal 2017. Joint venture earnings were $2.3 million compared to $3 million last year. Working capital was $83 million at year end.
Total assets at the end of August were up slightly to $496 million, due mainly to an increase in supply inventory. Again, Raetz pointed out, this was a byproduct of lower sales volume during the summer.
Raetz reported that MFA Incorporated has long-term debt of $84 million, including a term loan with CoBank, which financed the rail project, and the MFA Bond Program, which is unsecured debt.
Total net worth increased to $165 million, divided into non-cooperative earnings at $112 million and member equities of $53 million.
Addressing the challenges of 2018 has also been a focus for the Missouri Department of Agriculture. Speaking at the annual meeting, Missouri Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn gave an update on the department's "MORE" campaign, which she said addressed food insecurity, rural access to high-speed internet, government regulation and workforce development over the past year.
A gifted storyteller, McCrea shared his experiences both on the farm and on the air, describing interesting places and people he's met along the way. His overall message focused on the meeting theme, "Empower Change," emphasizing that there's a huge difference between change that is done to us and change we are empowered to make ourselves.
Reflecting on the many interviews he'd conducted through the years, McCrea said those who prosper in times of change have three traits that set them apart: They are personal and purposeful, and they have perspective.
And people, Chairman Nichols said, will continue to drive successful change for MFA.


If you are thinking of moving to England and would like to take your best friend with you, all you have to do is follow the regulation governing air traffic of the concerned country.
The transportation of pets from Italy to London may seem complicated, but it actually isn't.
After the elimination of the quarantine, which was compulsory until 2011, the paperwork is much more simple and streamlined.
The transportation of pets to London is governed by a regulation that requires a European passport, a microchip and a vaccination against rabies, that has to be made at least 21 days prior to the departure.
In addition to the above, only for dogs, a vermifuge and antiparasitic treatment is required.
All vaccinations and treatments must be recorded on the passport by the veterinarian.
As regards the travel conditions, the transportation of pets to the United Kingdom requires that the embarkation of our furry friends be made as cargo and not as a passenger's check-in baggage.
Please contact us to have more details on the procedures for the transportation of pets from Italy to London.

With an ever increasing, more complex underground infrastructure and constant pressure to complete ground works faster, there is a significant challenge to utilities and contractors to maintain high levels of operator safety.
For underground pipe and cable location, the Cable Locator has been the "go to" product for many years, and significant effort has been put into it's design to reduce the risk of harm to operators and damage to underground utilities when used prior to excavation.
Despite the technological advantages, no two excavations are the same, so it is important that significant and relevant training is provided to ensure that the combination of equipment and operator can locate and avoid underground utilities safely.
HMG have detailed below a number of Manufacturer Approved Cable Avoidance Training courses.
Aimed at Site and Safety Managers who are responsible for producing usage reports in case of a cable strike . Applicable to any Company that uses Cable Avoidance Tool with data-logging and /or GPS.
4: Individual Operator Cable Avoidance Safety training course.
HMG understand that smaller contractors do not require the same large numbers of their employees to be trained to use Cable Avoidance Tools , so HMG run regular half day courses for individuals to book . There will be a maximum of 10 operators per course.

Protozoan Disease Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) Expanding In Brazil
Protozoan Disease Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL)…
As the study showing the protozoan disease visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has recently expanded to places where it had not previously been reported and has expanded its geographic distribution within countries where it was already endemic. The study describing three dispersion routes that have moved Leishmania infantum into and through central-Southern Brazil, helping shed light on the overall mechanisms of VL dispersal. Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum is the zoonotic agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), a disease with a global distribution.
But human Visceral Leishmaniasis (hVL) is a widely distributing neglected disease causing by the protozoans Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum in Asia, Africa, Europe and Americas, and L. (L.) donovani in Asia and Africa. Currently, 1.69 billion people are estimating to be living in VL transmission areas worldwide and 90% of VL cases occurred in six countries; including Brazil. Between 1920 and 1980, VL was restricting to rural areas in Northeast Brazil; however the disease then spread to urban areas in other regions of the country.
The protozoan disease
The dispersal of the protozoan is poorly understanding, and in 2012; the parasite was reporting in the western region (Foz do Iguaçu) of Paraná state, far from the epidemic regions. These parasites use the domestic dog as a reservoir, in which it causingcanine Visceral Leishmaniasis (cVL), and Phlebotominae sand fly species of Phlebotomus and Lutzomyia longipalpis as vectors in the Old and New World, respectively; although other phlebotominae species have been hypothesized as secondary vectors in the latter region.
The transmission scenario of VL has been undergoing changes worldwide; with the biologic cycle invading urbanized areas and dispersing the parasites into other previously free areas. The epidemiological cycle in Brazil has dispersing from the Northeast to other regions of the country. The epidemiological cycle in Brazil has dispersing from the Northeast to other regions of the country.
Development of plans
But the researchers describe three dispersion routes that have likely carried VL into central-Southern Brazil dispersion from Bolivia via the Bolivia-Brazil gas pipeline from 1998 to 2005, dispersion from Paraguay after 2012, and emergence of a new cluster in western Santa Catarina State in 2013 and its dispersion to southern Paraná State. The routes help highlight risk factors for the dispersion of L. infantum; including the lack of joint policies with countries bordering Brazil.
However, understanding how VL has dispersed is vital to the development of control measures; for this disease and to avoid future dispersion events; but the study results highlight the need for the development of plans; that efficiently avoid the dispersion of VL in the central-southern Brazil that includes monitoring of this diseases; and joint policies with countries bordering this Brazilian region. But hypotheses regarding possible entring of Leishmania infantum; into the area of the triple border are presenting and discussing. Understanding how VL has dispersing is vital; to the development of control measures for this disease and to avoid future dispersion events.

The PSR algorithm is a bio-galvanized impairment-aware routing algorithm that can be optimized and can adapt itself to the network conditions. We demonstrate that the PSR algorithm is also suitable for these network configurations. We compared the PSR algorithm with different well known routing algorithms and we tend to observed that the PSR algorithm achieved the best performance in all cases.


Several foreign tourists were injured on Tuesday when a train struck the rear of another train near the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, a local police chief said.
Police are investigating the cause of the accident, which occurred along a popular tourism route from the village of Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu in southern Peru, added Eulogio Farfan, a police chief in the nearby town of Urubamba.
It's not clear what caused the collision of the two trains.
Farfan said a train operated by PeruRail S.A., owned jointly by Belmond Ltd and Ferrocarril Transandino S.A., struck a train operated by IncaRail, another railway service that takes tourists to Machu Picchu, Peru's biggest tourist site.
IncaRail said only one of its passengers, a Chilean woman, had been injured in the accident and the rest would continue their trip to Machu Picchu.
PeruRail said it activated its emergency protocol to evacuate the injured by ambulance and would investigate the cause.

beyond black
Fri Aug 15th 2008 by abagond
"Beyond black", in the sense I mean it, is something or someone black with an appeal that goes way beyond Black America. Like Tiger Woods or disco. Everyone still thinks of them as black but their appeal is general, not just mainly to blacks.
Here is my list. I will explain the numbers in a minute.
beyond black:
0: Jimi Hendrix, Dr Dre
1: gangsta rap, Michael Jordan, Ice Cube, Charlie Parker, Lebron James, Akon
2: disco, Lenny Kravitz, Destiny's Child, Tupac Shakur
3: Mariah Carey, Tiger Woods, Donna Summer, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, John Coltrane
4: hip hop, Barack Obama, Rihanna, Mike Tyson, Mos Def, Stevie Wonder, Kanye West
5: Oprah, Michael Jackson, Bryant Gumbel, Nas, Thelonius Monk, Billie Holiday, Bo Diddley, Carmelo Anthony, Diddy, Taye Diggs, Chuck D, Teena Marie
black:
6: Diana Ross, James Earl Jones, Janet Jackson, Tyra Banks, Toni Morrison, Alicia Keys, Smokey Robinson, Spike Lee, Naomi Campbell, Lauryn Hill, T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Sade, Jay-Z, Chris Rock, John McWhorter, Usher, Alexyss Tylor, Amy Holmes
7: XXL, Chaka Khan, Ciara, Whoopi Goldberg, Will Smith, Faith Evans, James Baldwin, Alice Walker, Young Jeezy, Chris Brown, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Star Jones, Dave Chapelle, Gladys Knight
8: dreadlocks, Michelle Obama, Erykah Badu, Zora Neale Hurston, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Mary J Blige, Ralph Ellison, Thandie Newton, Tina Turner, Maya Angelou, Vanessa Williams
9: r&b, natural hair, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, Denzel Washington, Flavor of Love, Richard Wright, Lisa Bonet, Melyssa Ford, Esther Baxter, King magazine, Eddie Murphy, Flavor Flav, Hoopz
10: weave, Jill Scott, Buffie the Body, Gabrielle Union, Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Nia Long
Notice that Destiny's Child is beyond black but Beyonce is not. Barack Obama is beyond black, but his wife is not.
I am surprised at some of this: I thought Angela Bassett and Will Smith would be beyond black and Tupac would not. But I cannot trust my own judgement: after all, I thought most Americans knew who Nia Long and T-Pain were.
What the numbers mean: on the Google Insights website you can find out which ten states are most interested in a given search. The number above is how many of those ten states were among the 12 blackest states.
Something that interests Americans in general regardless of race should get a rating of 2 or 3. Less than that means it probably appeals to whites more than blacks; more than that means it probably interests blacks more.
Google does not know the race of its users but it does know which state they came from. So this is as near as you can get to it.
The 12 blackest states are the chain of states from New York to New Orleans by way of Atlanta, throwing out New Jersey but throwing in Tennessee: New York, Delaware, Maryland, DC, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana – and Tennessee.
So, for example, of the ten states where users are most likely to search for "Jill Scott" all ten were among the 12 blackest states. For "Jimi Hendrix" none were.
Google Insights shows a map. It is striking how the black belt of states shows up for some searches. That is what gave me the idea. (There are other patterns too, like liberal states, but that is another post.)

Interesting list!
on Fri Aug 15th 2008 at 15:29:58 mynameismyname
Fascinating stuff!
Thanks for giving me a new website to immortalize! It will be great for research in the future.
I'm not surprised about the results at all. But I'm surprised that Denzel wasn't higher in "general interest".
As I said in another post, the mainstream is far more receptive of Beyonce Knowles as a member of Destiny's Child than as a solo artist. Her record sales and low concert attendance prove that. So, she and Halle Berry weren't a surprise at all.
2Pac …he's one in the top 5 of highest selling black musical artists in the U.S. (Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Prince round out that list, according to the RIAA). No surprise that he's "beyond black" in terms of general popularity.
Two more:
Usher Raymond- 6 out 10. Intrestingly, if you look at the map, the "high" index searches for him were mostly in heavily black Southern states. The "medium" and "low" ones were in overwhelming white or more "mixed" states. Intresting.
Chris Brown- 8 out 10. That makes sense. The overwhelming majority of his fanbase are young black females.
Wow, I can go on and on all day. LOL.
OK, OK, OK …I promise not to bother you anymore.
Another interesting pattern:
Current NBA players, superstar ones, seem to score very low all across the country in terms of "search index".
Ex: Lebron James, one of the most publicized NBA superstars, scored "low" all across the country except for his home state of Ohio, the only place where he DIDN'T score "low". Intrestingly though, only 1 or 2 of the states in the top 10 were "black belt" ones.
Same results for Carmelo Anthony.
Things are never what you expect, huh?
on Fri Aug 15th 2008 at 18:56:41 Bo Diddley
I was sad to hear that Bo Diddley died. That guy had an amazing career and life. And I just loved his guitar, the Twang Machine. It looked so cool and unusual for a guitar! He sure could make is sing.
on Sat Aug 16th 2008 at 00:42:36 mynameismyname
I know, I said I'd "give it a rest" but this is interesting. LOL.
When was the time period, for your searches? From 2004-to present? Or from the last year?
Another:
Akon- 1 out of 10. He's "medium" and "high", all over the country. That's more than Usher or Chris Brown, by far.
on Sat Aug 16th 2008 at 03:09:40 abagond
I did 2004-2008.
I also avoided historical figures like Rosa Parks because I noticed they peaked in Februaries – meaning school reports, which would affect the results.
I am going to add Usher, etc. Thanks.
Good call with Rosa Parks. It's probably the same with MLK, Jr. and Malcolm X.
Now, here's the only tricky thing …Lebron, Derek Jeter, Carmelo and some other black athletes. By the topic's logic, they'd be "beyond black" as only 1-3 "black belt" states appeared in their top 10.
But overall, by indication of the map, they scored very little interest (low search volume) in most of the country. What do you make of that?
Vanessa Williams-8 out of 10
Dave Chappelle-7 out of 10 (surprising; most of Chappelle Show's viewers and fans were white)
Eddie Murphy- 9 out of 10
Thandie Newton- 8 out of 10
Tina Turner- 8 (surprising)
Diddy- 5 out of 10
Dr. Dre- 0 (not surprising)
Flava Flav- 6
Maya Angelou- 8
Taye Diggs- 5
Cuba Gooding, Jr.- 7
Star Jones- 7
I added those too. That is surprising about Tina Turner. And funny about Dr Dre (but not surprising).
Sports figures: the search volumes are relative. The rest of the country scores low because it cannot possibly match the intensity of interest their home states have for them.
You see the same thing if you type in the name of any state. Californians are just way more interested in California than anyone else. The same with Yankee fans and Derek Jeter.
on Tue Aug 19th 2008 at 03:30:03 molecularshyness
Interesting list. I used to think everyone had heard of Nia Long, as well. I think I just really really really loved Love Jones.
Not surprised at some tho. Cool idea.
on Sat Aug 23rd 2008 at 07:21:26 mynameismyname
Wow, from the "why doesn't that surprise me" file:
Type in the word "Nigger", and search results for the year 2008. 5 out of 10 of the top states are famously majority-white, with West Virginia, which was 94% white as of the last census count, ranking as the #1 state with the highest regional interest.
What was the 7th top search involving the word around the country? (the word has a high/medium search volume in every state, especially in some majority white and deep south ones):
"Obama nigger".
on Sun Aug 24th 2008 at 00:39:56 abagond
Interesting how so many of the hard-core nigger states like West Virginia are just outside to the black belt.
I searched on "weave", "natural hair" and "dreadlocks":
8 dredlocks
9 natural hair
10 weave

Alvin Lau on tiger woods – and his disappoint in tiger woods and what he could have represented to biracial people.
Looking at your list with regards to musicians – I noticed that the higher their number (patti labell) the more recently I have listened to their music. I am know for mixing my R&B in with some country – classical and then some head banging heavy metal though…But I was just listening to Patti this AM and then saw this post.
Sorry – I always have one more comment after I hit submitt
Did you seach on Billie Holiday?

Billie is there – under 5.
Davida: That Alvin Lau video was great! Thanks.

Intresting I would have put Destiny's Child as Black and Beyonce as beyond Black.
Taye Diggs is definetly beyond black he washed his hands off black people and black women a long time ago when he blamed the dimise of his TV show on Black women back in 2006
He show got cancelled becasue of low ratings and he claimed that black women did not want to watch becasue he is married to a white woman. Like black american women all had a secrect meeting in a hair salon and said they were boycotting his show. LOL
http://juiicyscoop.blogspot.com/2006/12/taye-diggs-and-black-women.html
The thing is I just found out he was married and had a child last month (a child who he nicknamed "swirl" becasue he is a chocolate vanilla swirl, yeah I know) and I didn't even know he had a show besides Kevin Hill which I never watched because it aired at odd hours and didn't seem all that to me.

Do you ever get out of patience because it seems as though you are teaching and learning, but you don't know if you or your children are making any progress?
Teaching and learning are kind of like growing out a bad haircut. It takes 1000 times longer than you want it to take!
But, if you measure your hair growth after a month or six, you'll see that yes, it was growing all along though it was imperceptible day to day!
And if you look back at what you knew or what your children were learning a year ago, you'll see that yes, you've all come a long way since then.
Teaching and learning are processes, not events.
If you taught or corrected or mentored or led someone today and you don't know if it will help, give it a little time.
If you read and studied and practiced and applied some new thing you desperately want to learn, but you don't yet have a solid grasp on it, give it a while. In time you'll see that you were acquiring that new knowledge or skill all along.
Part of being patient with ourselves and with others is understanding this truth: teaching and learning are slow, simple, minute and sometimes unconscious processes that require time.
I hope you are off to a good start this week; that is, that you are full of love and patience for yourself and others.
Thanks, probably one everyone has experienced at least once huh? Thank you for being here!


There are millions of apps available in the play store to play music, play games, online shopping, and many other categories. Every app makes your life simple and easier. However, not all of the apps are available for free. Some of the apps have both paid and free versions available. The free versions of those apps always have some limitations. Many of the apps have the option of Free in-app purchases.
In-app purchases are the advanced feature or levels that you can unlock by purchasing them for real money. Some of the common examples of in-app purchases are commercial removing, trial interval to lifetime improvement, developer's emblem removing from the end result, digital forex that can be utilized for purchases, a key that unlocks extra options of the existing app, a sword that provides you with extra energy in a game and many more.
This article is just there for information purposes as it is illegal to hack the in-app purchases because an app developer put a lot of thought, efforts and time to develop an app. Here is a compilation of top apps that enables you to get in-app purchases free of cost on your Android device.
CreeHack is an app that has every element required for android games hack. No root access is necessary in order to use CreeHack. Any android app can be hacked without rooting your device. If you want to use apps that are paid, you can download and access them for free.
CreeHack allows you to download paid android games and access them for free by hacking them without rooting the android devices. You can increase the amount of money, jewels and coins using CreeHack.
The only limitation of using the CreeHack app is the different survey pages that appear on your Android device. You need to fill out these surveys in order to continue using the services. It is a bit annoying and tiresome process but only before you can play the paid versions of the games without paying any money.
After you download the CreeHack app, you need to tap the "Enable" option as it will need your permission to run in the background while you are playing games. Next thing you need to do is tap "Pay" to continue using the app. CreeHack is able to bypass the app payment gateways.
AppSara app is used to access the paid android games for free. It lets you use the free in-app purchases without rooting your Android device. AppSara supports more than 50+ games for hacking the in-app purchases. The updated list of currently supported games is mentioned in the app Sara app link.
However, if your desired game is not available in the list, then you have to root your device first in order to access the app for free. You can also get a clue if the app asks you to enter your credit card number, this says that the app doesn't s this tool.
AppSara does not support a wide range of apps and games like other apps mentioned in this list. Appsara is one of the apps among the no rooting in-app purchase hack for android applications that can be used to hack various gaming apps that are paid and turn them into free.
After downloading the AppSara app, tap "Enable." Go to the purchase page and tap the "Purchase" option. Your payment will be successful after using this.
Lucky Patcher is an app developed by Develop Chelpus. Lucky Patcher is an outstanding software for Android that lets you take away the advertisements, break the license affirmation of different apps in android market.

The only limitation of Lucky Patcher is that it cannot hack an online game. In order to hack an online game, one needs to hack the online game server which is really hard and next to impossible.
Leo PlayCard is a perfect alternative to apps like Creehack, Freedom and Lucky Patcher. Leo PlayCard works on many apps like Pinball HD, Fool and many more. You are easily able to surpass the app payment section of any app. Leo PlayCard doesn't work with online games and apps.
There is also a risk of getting suspended and banned from using the games in some cases.

I have waited many a table in my day. I met my future husband first as his waitress. The allure of my scowl overtop that coffee pot proved to be too much for the lad and he quickly offered up a happily ever after. I left that chapter of my life some time ago, hung up my apron in favour of a career in illustration. The days of serving grumpy ingrates put far behind me, or so I thought.
I then had twins. And it seems to me over the past year that I am again put in the position of waitress. A waitress who works in a restaurant where nobody likes the food and no one ever leaves a tip. It is rather frustrating to work to try and prepare some sort of appealing nourishment for your kids. Lord knows there are a kabillion experts offering up the importance of getting five servings of veggies/fruit/whole grains/gluten free/dairy free/protein/natural sugars only a day, only to hear the exclamation "I can't eat it Mama - it's cat food"!
Sigh. That combined with the task of teaching these crazy little people colours and counting can put an incredible amount of strain on a person.
Well folks, when life hands you a turd, roll it in sparkles. I decided that if I was going to be an employee around here I should at least be tipped. We needed a project that was versatile in the ways it could be used. So, we created cloth dollar bills for Georgia and Shep to play general store, or in our case, restaurant. I let them pick their own colours, I did all the lino cutting and any scissor work when they were napping to avoid tantrums and potentially getting shived by one of them.
Get yourself a lino block (I prefer the rubber ones, but you works with what you gots), and draw out your design. I stayed pretty simple, but you could get fanciful with a portrait of good old Queen Lizzy if you felt like it.
You will need some of these bad boys to cut out your design. Please keep far far away from tiny hands, they are deadly sharp. And always cut away from the hand holding the block. This may seem like logic, but surely I am not the only one that has suffered lino injuries.
Cut or gouge out the "white space". You may notice my redraw of the dollar sign. I quite often draw these things the right way round and then inevitably am super bummed when they print out backwards. I caught this one in time.
Pick your colours and grab a roller. I use speedball products, but you could use regular acrylic craft paint too. I chose an old white pillow case as the material to be printed on. I cut around the seams and laid it flat. Cotton works nicely in this project.
Roll a nice thick layer of paint onto your stencil and press firmly onto material. I, with the help of little hands, reapplied the ink after each pressing.
Wash lino block in warm water to remove ink between colour changes.
Carefully hang your printed money to dry. I gave this a few good hours to set before I cut out the pieces.
To add weight and longevity to the pieces I then placed each onto felt and stitched them quickly with my sewing machine. Since neither of my kids opted for green ink I chose a green thread to contrast the colours nicely.
And there you have it...a big pile of money!
No, I am not eager to teach my kids the ins and outs of capitalism. I do however see the need for them to understand value of things. For now we are a money bound society, and both their parents work very hard for these dollars. Food generally costs money, including that big old bowl of "cat food" I just plonked in front of you Miss Georgia. Taxes included, tipping is not optional.
I always found tipping well lead to great service. But the best tip was when someone said, "You should date Rachel."
Total genius dear milk shake!
brilliant!! wish i had thought to do this when my girls were this age. This is marketable my dear.
aaah Rachel. Perfect again! Hope you're saving all this to make a book.

Q: Correct unescaped text in HTML My question is not a duplicated question of the question presented above...
I have this text (from database) :

I love Java & .NET ! 5 > 3

As you see, the & and > is NOT escaped.
In Java, is there a way to turn this string into :

I love Java & .NET ! 5 > 3

As you noticed, I want to keep all the HTML tags in same way they are, but I want to escape the text, unvalid for XML (This text must be valid for Docx4J XHTMLImporter).
Thank you !

A: You can use escape characters to solve your problem.
For & sign you can use: &
And for > you can use: >
Full list of escape characters could be found here.

A: I used Jsoup and its parse function to clean my string :
    String unscappedHtml = " ";
    if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(unscappedText)) {
        // We remove width and height from image tags.
        Document doc = Jsoup.parse(unscappedText);
        doc.outputSettings().syntax(Document.OutputSettings.Syntax.xml);
        doc.select("a").unwrap();
        unscappedHtml = doc.body().html();
    }
