Ugandan Journalist Arrested and Beaten by Police While Covering News
Posted on March 1, 2016 March 1, 2016 by Melanie Nathan
Several Ugandan journalists were arrested today while attempting to report on events unfolding after the controversial Ugandan presidential elections. The journalists went to the home of Dr. Kizza Besigye, who is under house arrest by the Museveni regime, after an election controversy where Besigye is claiming that the elections were rigged. Three journalist were arrested, falsely accused of obstructing the police in their duties. A video has emerged showing the actual arrest of one of the journalists, proving the police account of events to be a blatant lie.
Remmy Bahati, a TV reporter for NBS TV, spoke to us after she was arrested. Ms. Bahati informed us that she was manhandled, beaten and that a police officer had fondled her while she was in the police van.
The video shows the facts as folows: Ms. Bahati was standing outside on the street, with a group of about 30 other people. When she walked into the street with her microphone, followed by TV cameras a police officer asked her to move away. She immediately obliged and moved with her crew to a safe area, quite a distance away from where the police were clearing the area.
As she started her report, she was physically attacked by police officers in riot gear. She was given no warning. She continued to speak into the microphone. "Oh God, I am being arrested." The video shows that she was in no way being provocative or unruly and she was certainly not obstructing the police. She continued, courageously, to report as she was being arrested. The video shows her being hauled away, and that she was manhandled by several officers. It was clear that the purpose was to silent the press report. She was causing no harm nor any danger.
Bahati told us that the experience was horrific. That she was only doing her job and that because she was humiliated and degraded, as well as physically abused, she is now severely traumatized. She also noted that the police lied in their statement and the video proves the journalist's version:
" The information carried in their statement is false," said Bahati. "It holds no iota of truth, and intends to mislead Ugandans. I was personally not driving any car. I was arrested while reporting live at the police siege at the home of Dr. Kizza Besigye for the 10th day. My only crime was to have the courage to report events as they unfolded in Kasangati. Instead of issuing false information and what caused my arrest, the Uganda Police Force should issue a written apology. I was manhandled, fondled inside that van and beaten by huge men."
Contrary to the police statement, the video will show that in no way was Ms. Bahati obstructing the police. Quite the contrary, she obeyed orders and went to an area that was many meters away fro where the police were staged. The police sought her out and attacked her for no reason, other than to shut her up!
And indeed courage it was. If ever there was a hero journalist who elucidated the cowardice of an oppressive regime, obviously attempting to hide truth from Ugandans and the world, it is Remmy Bahati.
The false police statement reads in part:
"The Ugandan police force has today 1st March 2016 arrested three (3) people for obstructing Police Officers on duty disobeying lawful orders given to them by the Kasangati Division Police Commander Superintendentof Police Kawalya James. The guidance order was to park their cars at the parking area. Police had gazetted for parking. Some members of the visiting group of about thirty five (35) people complied and parked their vehicles while others objected, necessitating their arrest. Those arrested are: Semijja Ismail, Remmy Bahati, (journalist) and Ingrid Turinawe."
Bahati, released without charges, is extremely concerned for her safety.
Here is the Video proving her story and that the police lied – See the Video that says Bahati Remmy Arrest:

Many are expressing outrage at the suppression of information, at the oppression of the press and the brutal and reprehensible treatment of revered and professional journalists. This is a shameful day – when the Ugandan government chose to rob Ugandan journalists of their dignity.
Dr. Besigye, in the eyes of many Ugandans, is being hailed the true President elect, while Yoweri Museveni, who stands accused in the court of public opinion, of election rigging, oppressive tactics and fraud, has proclaimed victory. Museveni, considered by many as a oppressive dictator, now claims another term after 30th years in power, and is ensuring that any controversy around his election is stamped out, through the brutal tactics of his police force.
This is not new to the people of Uganda, as on the very day of elections the Ugandan government shut down all social media, under threat of arrest for treason, if anyone disobeyed. The United States has accepted the election results as valid and continues to align itself with the Museveni regime, despite their knowledge of the breached of basic human rights and democratic principles.
These pictures are awful to see- and seemingly undignified – and shown here purely so readers are able to juxtapose the brutality and cowardice of the Museveni police against the bravery of a journalist innocently doing her job in attempting to bring information to the people of Uganda.
Pictorial.
Bahati Remmy is reporting from outside besigye house on the road, when told to move away by police
Bahati obliges and has moved off the road, to the opposite side of the street, many meters from the police, as told by police. She is now under the trees a distance from the road, on the opposite side to Besigye's house, and has been reporting away from police – when three officers leave the street and move toward her.
She has not yet seen the police approach behind her, and is talking to the camera.
She is startled to suddenly see three riot gear police right behind her and about to grab her
The next series of pictures show Ms. Bahati being manhandled and led off by police to the waiting van where she was beaten and fondled by police officers.

Beyonce's Wardrobe Malfunction: Accidentally Flashes Spanx In Gown With Major Slit
Fashion and Lifestyle, Hollywood
It was a date night for JAY-Z and Beyonce at Rihanna's Diamond Ball on Sept. 14! As they were leaving the event, though, Bey suffered a mini wardrobe malfunction when her dress flew up and fully revealed her Spanx!
Beyonce and JAY-Z coupled up for a rare appearance together at Rihanna's Diamond Ball, and as always, they looked incredible! Bey rocked a gorgeous green dress for the event, which featured a plunging neckline and leg slit that went all the way up to the top of her thigh. The ensemble was super revealing, and with photographers snapping photos left and right, the singer wasn't always able to get everything in place before her picture was taken. So, yes, that meant her black Spanx were on display quite a bit as she entered and exited the bash!
Of course, Beyonce pulled it off like a pro, keeping a smile on her face and continuing to look radiant despite the slight wardrobe malfunction. She paired the green dress with thick, black, open-toed heels, and wore her blonde hair in curls. Meanwhile, Jay looked quite dapper in a standard tuxedo, and they were the definition of #RelationshipGoals as they posed for photos inside. This was the pair's first official event together since they welcomed their twins, Sir and Rumi Carter, on June 14, and they looked totally relieved and carefree on the night out!
Beyonce has clearly wasted no time getting her body back after giving birth, and has been showing off her incredible figure in various outfits since she returned to social media in July. She's also taken time out of her busy life to support her hometown of Houston in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, and even visited the city to meet with victims and volunteer at a food bank just last week. Is there anything this woman can't do!?

How can Jesus Christ be a priest if He is of the non-priestly tribe of Judah? | For What Saith the Scriptures?
Category Archives: How can Jesus Christ be a priest if He is of the non-priestly tribe of Judah?
How can Jesus Christ be a priest if He is of the non-priestly tribe of Judah?
Indeed, Levi is Israel's priestly tribe, as stated in the Bible: "The priests the Levites… the priests the Levites… the priests the Levites" (Deuteronomy 17:9, 17:18, 18:1). High priest Aaron and his sons were descendants of Levi (Exodus 4:14), Levi being a son of Jacob (Genesis 29:34).
However, Jesus Christ is of the tribe of Judah. Joseph, His foster-father, comes from the following family: "Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;… And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ" (Matthew 1:2,16). Mary, Jesus' mother, has this family tree: "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,… Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,…" (Luke 3:23,33-34). There is no priestly tribe here, only "Juda/Judas" (Greek forms of the Hebrew "Judah").
The New Testament Scriptures, especially the Book of Hebrews, nevertheless claim that Jesus Christ is a Priest, yea, a High Priest (Hebrews 2:17, Hebrews 3:1, Hebrews 4:14, et cetera). How can this be? Well, Hebrews already anticipated that question, and provided an answer to the discrepancy. Let us see what God Himself says about it.
We start in Hebrews chapter 7, verse 14: " For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.  And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,  Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life." Moses wrote about priests of the tribe of Levi, yet his five Books (Genesis through Malachi) never said one word about Israel having a priest from the tribe of Judah. You are correct in your original claim. Christ's priesthood, however, does not depend on Judah the man any more than Levi the man. He actually takes on the priesthood of a man from whom He is not biologically descended. We will see why momentarily.
Turning to Psalm 110:4, we compare: "The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek." Written about 1,000 years before Calvary's cross, this is Father God speaking to Jesus Christ after His resurrection. Notice the absence of the Levitical priesthood. By Divine decree, Christ's priesthood stems from a man by the name of Melchisedec, who was not a Jew (and who was thus neither of Levi nor of Judah). Christ did not presumptuously assume Melchisedec's priesthood, or even naturally assume it; God Almighty supernaturally transferred it to Him!
As Hebrews just stated, the Levitical system was flawed in that its priests died because they were sinners. One priest perished and another took his place—that continued for over 1,500 years. In stark contrast, Melchisedec is described in Hebrews 7:1-3 in such a way as to show he had no predecessor or successor. As far as the Scripture is concerned, his priesthood appears briefly and then disappears just as quickly (see Genesis 14:18-24). He was born, but the Bible never provides details. He died, but the Bible never records it. He was a priest, and yet we read nothing about his ordination. There was no connection to the Mosaic Law, as it would be given over 400 years after him.
We continue in Hebrews chapter 7: " Wherefore he [Jesus Christ] is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.  For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;  Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.  For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore." This is how the chapter ends, but let us go back up to earlier verses.
" If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?  For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.  For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar." The Levitical (Aaronic) priesthood had its limitations—namely, it gained more members because death claimed the earlier ones. It had a definitive beginning (with Aaron) and it had successors. However, we know nothing about Melchisedec's origin or progeny (God's Word is silent). There is no record of his genealogy in Scripture. He evidently died functioning as a priest, and no one followed him in his priestly duties.
Verse 3 of Hebrews chapter 7 had said, "Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually." Up until Psalm 110:4 (Messianic—about Jesus Christ), we were unaware of anyone following Melchisedec in his priesthood because nothing was said of him or his priesthood after Genesis chapter 14. With Hebrews chapter 7 entered into God's Book, and with a completed Bible in hand, now we see Jesus Christ will be a priest of the order of Melchisedec. Melchisedec was a type, shadow, or preview of Christ. Christ's priesthood is most similar to Melchisedec's priesthood—and not at all like the Levitical or Aaronic priesthood. It involves one individual, not a group.
Melchisedec was "the priest of the most high God" (Genesis 14:18; cf. Hebrews 7:1). ("Melchizedek" is the Old Testament or Hebrew form; "Melchisedec" is the New Testament or Greek version.) This was centuries before Aaron was anointed as Israel's first high priest in her religion of Judaism. Whoever Melchizedek was, he was not a Jew either. His priesthood is not limited to Israel (as Aaron's was). There is nothing recorded about his birth or lineage (as Aaron's was, as his sons' was). We never read about Melchisedec's death either. His ministry is not tied to the Mosaic Law or Old Covenant (as Aaron's was). With Jesus Christ being of a priestly order separate from Aaron's, Christ can function apart from the Old Covenant and apart from "Israel only." Remember, God will make the New Covenant with Israel (Hebrews 8:8-13; Hebrews 10:15-17). His ministry will then go beyond Israel, as Gentiles will be converted once Israel herself is saved (see Isaiah 59:21–60:3 and Zechariah 8:20-23, for example).
Even if Christ were born of the priestly tribe of Levi, He could not function as Israel's High Priest. The Book of Hebrews makes that case repeatedly. Overall, Jesus Christ is superior to Aaron (the first of the Levitical priests), for He is of an order—Melchisedec's priesthood—that existed prior to Aaron. In like manner, the Lord Jesus Christ is better than angels (Hebrews chapters 1–2), better than Moses (chapter 3), and so on. The Book of Hebrews, as its name implies, is God's Spirit moving Israel away from the spiritual immaturity she has long embraced in her religion of Judaism (see Hebrews 5:11–6:3). He is bringing her to His Son, Jesus Christ, whom the components of Judaism pictured and predicted. Israel is to see Jesus Christ as Messiah, King, Redeemer, and High Priest. There is something better than the Old Covenant, someone better than Moses, something better than the earthly Tabernacle/Temple, someone better than Aaron, someone better than angels, better promises, better sacrifices, a better hope, a better testament, a better way, and so on. It all focuses on the Lord Jesus Christ!!

Strongly influenced by her mum – an aspiring dancer in the 1940s – Carolyn loves performing arts, especially musical theatre. But, apart from the office Christmas party karaoke, she had not performed live before an audience since primary school orchestra concerts until the Montage Theatre Arts 20th. Anniversary Gala event at Greenwich Theatre. And then she was hooked!
Carolyn's role as Trustee on the MTA Board draws upon her knowledge as a qualified teacher and social worker and her extensive experience as a senior manager in social care and health policy, regulation, evidence-based practice and quality improvement at local and national level. A bit of a Francophile, she has lived in Lewisham for 34 years and joined the MTA adult choir in 2017 when she retired from paid employment. Now, sitting alongside her ambition to write that novel, Carolyn is actively involved in local community organisations that promote the rights of people to the best possible quality of life. She is particularly interested in how creative arts can help people be more connected, build their confidence, self-esteem and resilience and improve well-being.


In the spirit of the Presidential Debates, let us use Reagan's famous expression, "There you go again," in describing the recent round of fixation on interest rates. It was only after the Fed's announcement in September to hold rates steady that interest rate sensitive investments recovered from being under pressure. The reemergence of this downward pressure can be seen in the beginning of the 4th quarter, especially within the utility sector, REIT's and dividend yielding stocks. We expect these areas to recover, as they did in the latter part of September, but also believe the upside from recent highs may be limited in the near-term.
When we experienced the "Taper Tantrum" in 2013, we were taking the positive perspective on the "half empty or half full" scenario, contrary to the overall market. Our preference was to see rates driven by market forces versus the Fed's bond purchasing program. Therefore, we viewed the termination of the QE efforts as a positive. Even when the 10 year rate spiked above 3%, evidence of inflationary factors supporting the increase could not be found. In hindsight, remaining calm was the right decision since the 10 year rate is currently around levels prior to the "Taper Tantrum,' even after a rate increase last December.
Let's evaluate equity markets in the same manner. Many analysts believe we are in an interest rate driven market where valuations are at a premium. These same professionals view higher rates as a threat to current valuations and the prospect of a rate increase by year-end continues to cause concern. Based on fundamentals, we do agree that markets are trading at a slight premium relative to our support level of 17,550 for the DJIA in 2017. But our perspective on the next rate increase is different. If the Fed's decision is executed correctly, it should signify strength in the economy, which would have a positive effect on corporate fundamentals. This should enable equity markets to transition from being interest rate driven to being driven by fundamentals which is more desirable.
In this type of scenario, we believe that growth stocks will take the lead and value (dividend yielding) stocks will lag behind as fundamentals catch up to support current valuations. Again, the question here is when will this transition occur? Even though economic signals remain positive, patterns can be confusing at times, especially when you're trying to identify trends based on monthly data. We still don't see overwhelming evidence at this time for higher rates but those who fear the possibility of a recession due to a later (and greater) rate increase would prefer a pre-emptive strike. The premise for such a decision is predicated on the economy growing at an accelerated rate driving inflation which we also do not see at this time. While others continue to focus on interest rates, our attention is directed to a stronger U.S. Dollar and its impact on corporate earnings.

Q: Convexity of $x^a e^{-x}$ This is a calculus homework. Given is
$$f(x)=x^a e^{-x}$$
where $x \in ]0;\infty[$ for $a \lt 0$, $x \in [0;\infty[$ for $a \geq 0$.
The task is to first find local or global minima and maxima depending on a, then decide on the convexity of f, again depending on a. $0^0$ is defined as 1.
I've looked at various properties, not all of them immediately relevant to the above questions, hoping to understand this pretty complex function better. I'll note my main results below.
Since $x=0$ is a border, I'm interested in the behavior of $f$ there.
$f(0)=0$ for $a \neq 0$
$f(0)=1$ for $a = 0$
$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow +0}{\frac{x^a}{e^x}} = 0$ for $a \geq 0$
$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow +0}{\frac{x^a}{e^x}} = 0$ for $a \lt 0$
For large x:
$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow +\infty}{\frac{x^a}{e^x}} = 0$ regardless of $a$.
Minima/maxima of continuous functions need to have $f'(x)=0$:
$f'(x) = (a-x)x^{a-1}e^{-x}$
$
f'(x) = 0
\Leftrightarrow
(a-x)x^{a-1}e^{-x} = 0
\Leftrightarrow
a = x
$
At $x=0$:
$
f'(0)
=
\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow +0}\frac{x^a/e^x - 0^a/e^0}{x}
=
\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow +0}\frac{x^{a-1}}{e^x}
$
which is 1 for $a=1$, 0 for $a \geq 1$ and $+\infty$, $0 \lt a \lt 1$ and $-\infty$ for $a=0$.
For convexity, also $f''(x)$ is interesting:
$f''(x) = \frac{a(a-x)x^{a-2} - ax^{a-1}}{e^{2x}}$
$
f''(x)=0
\Leftrightarrow
a(a-1)x^{a-2}=ax^{a-1}
\Leftrightarrow
(a-1)=x
$
However, comparing this with wolframalpha, there seem to be major differences pretty much everywhere. I'm very uncertain if my results are correct. I'm in particular confused by the impact of $0^0$ or $0^{-0}$ in some of the equations, leading me to think I've taken a completely wrong approach to this problem.
I attempted $ln f(x)$, hoping to find something easier to work on, but it was fruitless.
(As I am not too familiar with neither latex nor the tags here, please feel welcome to edit this post.)

A: You're computing wrongly the second derivative.
The given function is
$$f(x)=x^ae^{-x}.$$
Therefore
$$f'(x)=ax^{a-1}e^{-x}-x^ae^{-x}$$
and so
$$
f''(x)=a(a-1)x^{a-2}e^{-x}-2ax^{a-1}e^{-x}+x^ae^{-x}=
x^{a-2}e^{-x}(a^2-a-2ax+x^2)
$$
Let's not bother with $x=0$, for the moment. When is the second derivative positive? Exactly when
$$
x^2-2ax+a^2-a>0
$$
The (reduced) discriminant of this quadratic is $a^2-a^2+a=a$. So, if $a<0$, the second derivative is positive for all $x>0$ and the function is convex.
If $a=0$, the function is $f(x)=e^{-x}$, which is convex.
If $a>0$, the roots of the quadratic are
$$
a-\sqrt{a}\quad\text{and}\quad a+\sqrt{a}
$$
If $a\le1$, the smallest root is negative, so the function is concave in $(0,a+\sqrt{a}$ and convex in $(a+\sqrt{a},\infty)$. If $a>1$, then the function is concave in $(a-\sqrt{a},a+\sqrt{a})$ and convex in the other part of the domain.
Here is a graph for $a=-0.1$

Here is a graph for $a=0.5$, note the flex at about $x=0.64$

Here is a graph for $a=3$, where the two flexes are evident
