Anopheles — великий рід комарів (Culicidae), один з трьох родів підродини Anophelinae. Рід містить понад 460 визнаних видів, з яких близько 100 здатні слугувати векторами плазмодія (Plasmodium), збудника малярії, та передавати його людині, хоча за перенесення хвороби в ендемічних районах відповідають фактично 30-40 видів. Найвідомішими представниками роду є види комплексу Anopheles gambiae, через їх головну роль в перенесенні найнебезпечніших видів плазмодія, таких як Plasmodium falciparum.

Деякі види роду Anopheles також здатні переносити хробака-паразита собак Dirofilaria immitis, філярії Wuchereria bancrofti і Brugia malayi, віруси, такі як о'ньйонг'ньйонг. Цих збудників хвороб також можуть переносити комарі інших родів, таких як Aedes і Culex.

В Україні відомо 7 видів роду: Anopheles  messeae, A.  maculipennis,  A. atroparvus, A. plumbeus, A.  hyrcanus,  A. claviger, A. algeriensis.

 Назва й систематика
Назва роду походить від грецьких слів «an», заперечувальний префікс, та «ophelos», «користь». Рід встановлено 1818 року німецьким ентомологом . Оскільки роль комарів роду в перенесенні малярії була виявлена Рональдом Россом лише 1897 року, початкове значення назви, ймовірно, було «некорисний», а не «шкідливий», як часто можна зустріти в низці джерел.

Систематика роду лишалася не розробленою впродовж майже всього XIX століття, до того як 1898 року англійське Королівське товариство та державний секретар Британських колоній  не призначили комісію з дослідження малярії. Відповідальним за дослідження комарів був призначений , який між 1901 і 1910 роками опублікував 5 томів монографії з переносників малярії. Представників сучасного роду Anopheles Теобальд розділив на 18 родів, 4 з яких (Cellia, Kerteszia, Nyssorhynchus і Stethomyia) на разі визнаються як підроди. Проте вже у першій третині XX століття систему Теобальда суттєво розкритикували, зокрема американський ентомолог  вважав її заплутаною та неприродною.

Значний внесок у побудову сучасної системи комарів Anopheles здійснили , , Френсіс Меткалф Рут (), П. К. А. Антунз () та інші.

Рід об'єднує 450—550 видів, які зібрані в 7 підродів:
 Anopheles — поширені всесвітньо, 182 види
 Baimaia — Орієнтальна область, 1 вид
 Cellia — Старий світ, 220 видів
 Kerteszia — Неотропіки, 12 видів
 Lophopodomyia — Неотропіки, 6 видів
 Nyssorhynchus — Неотропіки, 39 видів
 Stethomyia — Неотропіки, 5 видів.

Переносники малярії належать до підродів Anopheles, Cellia, Kerteszia та Nyssorhynchus. Підроди відрізняються між собою за будовою та щетинками на придатках чоловічих геніталій.

Великі підроди Anopheles, Cellia та Nyssorhynchus поділяють на секції, серії, групи, підгрупи та комплекси.

 Походження
Загалом вважається, що комарі виникли в юрському періоді між 200 та 146 млн років тому. Утім надійні викопні знахідки, що їх відносять до роду Anopheles датують пізнім палеогеном чи раннім неогеном, між 45 та 15 млн років тому. Молекулярний аналіз показав, що до предкової групи сучасних Anophelinae найближче стоїть рід Chagasia з тропічної Америки, а рід Bironella з Австралазійського регіону є сестринською групою для Anopheles.

7 Points to pick a Mobile App Development Company.
With increasing number of tech-savvy users across the globe, mobile application development has created disruptions across all major industries for offering business-friendliness, great ease of use, and on-the-go data accessibility to employees and customers alike.
As the need for mobile application development keeps surmounting, a lot of mobile app development companies have come up to deliver right and specific app solutions to their clients.
To put it in simple, you need to pick out a company that understands your business requirements and can provide innovative solutions as per your specifications and guidelines.
Just making a search on Google for a mobile app development company will not do; there are thousands of such companies that offer just this, and thus, leads to a whole lot of confusion. You need to analyze, sort and put modified requirements on the search engine to get the right results.
If you end up choosing app development companies offering poor customer service, you are likely to face troublesome issues right from the development stage. A lot of organizations fall prey to mobile app development companies that are just trying to sell their app and will disappear from the scene once the deal is done.

TIFF 2007: Lust, Control
By Mathew Kumar
No Film Friday today as we're too busy with the festival, but we can let you know that this week sees releases of some pretty decent-sounding films: 3:10 to Yuma, Shoot 'Em Up and Hatchet. Er, and also The Brothers Solomon, starring Will Arnett and directed by Bob Odenkirk but apparently dire. Let's Go To Prison wasn't great either. Sob.
Today's Reviews:
Captain Mike Across America
Captain Mike Across America is an interesting proposition: Michael Moore documents his tour across America in the run-up to the 2004 Presidential elections; a tour that notably failed to turn the tide of the election against George Bush. As Moore is more skilled in creating passionate (if flawed) polemics than he is at documentary film-making, someone else should have taken the reins. In Moore's hands, this is a weird, confusingly-edited rush between states with occasional musical interludes (it's nice to hear the Finland's national anthem) that leaves you wondering: "Where on earth is this going?" The answer, of course, is nowhere (Kerry was a lame duck) and Moore's glib explanation is unintentionally dispiriting. 1/5
If you're as big a fan of Joy Division as Torontoist is, you'll quickly come to terms with the fact that Control is simply one man's interpretation of Deborah Curtis's book Touching from a Distance, and your overall feelings will (probably) lie on how you feel about that interpretation. Anton Corbijin has created a film with gorgeous cinematography, a fine eye for detail and strong performances, but with poor pacing (Ian Curtis is married within ten minutes, but it takes him at least twenty to top himself after watching Stroszek). It falls into some of the usual musician-biopic pratfalls, too. 3/5
Lust, Caution
Have you ever wanted to watch middle-aged Chinese women play mahjong at length? Or catch a glimpse of Tony Leung's balls? Well then you're in luck! Lust, Caution is the (very) slow story of Mr. Yee (Leung) and the woman sent to ensnare him, but don't believe the hype—after the first sex scene it's all pretty vanilla (as a mahjong player, we found the earlier scenes more exciting). Ang Lee seems like he's really missed a trick with this film, creating a simplistic, overlong story rather than the charged, shocking film it might have been with a possible alternative ending that's (sort of) alluded to. 2/5

On qualified immunity
I read with great interest the Fourth Circuit's opinion in the case of Ridpath v. Board of Governors, and find much noteworthy within it.
For one thing, the Court splits 2-1 on the issue of whether the plaintiff has stated a due process/liberty claim. If three Fourth Circuit judges cannot agree, that's pretty good evidence to me that the constitutional right asserted by the plaintiff is not clearly established. If it's not clear to Judge Widener that the plaintiff has a claim, how could the defendants have known any better?
The case is about some guy suing a football coach and Marshall University administrators for throwing the blame on him for an NCAA rules violation, with the result that the NCAA ruled that part of the "corrective action" the University should take was to correct the plaintiff out of his job, which in turn made him untouchable in the NCAA compliance racket. That "liberty interest" area of the law seems like murky territory to me - I've never seen one get past a motion to dismiss. Judge Widener might be right in his dissent when he focuses on the case law that says defamation is not a constitutional violation. There is something fuzzy about this claim, to my mind, and it has to do with the interaction between the University and the NCAA. Fuzzy claims, one would hope, are the ones on which the defendants are entitled to qualfied immunity.
Second, there is a footnote bashing citation to unpublished case law. I have always believed that qualified immunity is one sub-issue where the unpublished law frequently ought to be considered, not for the purpose of considering what the law is, but for the secondary and sometimes historical issue of whether the right at issue was not clearly established. The Court says in footnote 15: "On this issue and others, the Administrators extensively rely on unpublished decisions of this Court. Of course, under Local Rule 36(c), citations to unpublished decisions are disfavored. These citations might be warranted if, for example, there were no published decision on point. Because such circumstances are not present here, however, we do not address the unpublished decisions cited by the Administrators." Now, I don't know what the lawyers were doing in this case, but I know what I was trying to do when I have cited unpublished case when litigating qualified immunity in the past. I suspect, however, that Local Rule 36(c) will not present the same obstacle on this point as it has in the past, once the rules change takes effect on citation to unpublished opinions.
Third, on the First Amendment question, the panel refers to "the McVey rule." I was the lawyer for the defendants in the McVey case. It seemed to me at the time like a very good case for determination on the pleadings, because the plaintiff's First Amendment claim was based entirely on an innocuous writing that was made a part of the complaint. The majority notes in its footnotes that its decision does not preclude the individuals from relitigating qualified immunity on summary judgment. And, so we did in McVey, and won the case, which judgment was affirmed on appeal. 44 Fed.Appx. 630 (4th Cir. 2002). In McVey, the original panel agreed 3-0 that the denial of the motion to dismiss should be affirmed, but otherwise was split 1-1-1 in a curious sort of way. Judge Niemeyer wrote that if the facts turn out one way, the defendants would win; Judge Murnaghan wrote that if the facts turn out another way, the defendants would lose; and Judge Michael wrote in the manner of that fellow in the movie Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?, who said "I'm for yours truly, too." Actually, what he wrote was this: "I concur in Judge Niemeyer's opinion for the court, except to the extent it is qualified by Judge Murnaghan's separate opinion. In addition, I concur in the judgment." McVey v. Stacy, 157 F.3d 271, 282 (4th Cir. 1998) (Michael, J., concurring in part and concurring in judgment).
And so it is that I will be unable to hit the lecture circuit explaining the McVey rule, when it has puzzled me like a Rubik's cube in some aspects for almost a decade.
Fourth, the majority variously cites Jenkins v. Medford. Jenkins is the poster child for qualified immunity appeals of motions to dismiss. Judge Ervin in his dissent in Jenkins bemoaned the way the majority had taken the issue of qualified immunity and come out with an opinion that said the plaintiff could not state a claim, when there were all kinds of facts that remained unknown. I suspect that the Jenkins case has done in the political firing claims of road deputies in four states.
Finally, the lawyers for the defendants do not seem to have done themselves any favors, as they have boogered up some of the procedure. One appellant was booted out for lack of standing because he had not raised qualified immunity at all in the district court. As to the others, the official capacity appellants were booted because qualified immunity has nothing to do with official capacity defendants. As to the remaining individuals, the Court had to consider whether it could consider their qualified immunity claims, when they were not raised in the answers or any motions to dismiss, but instead in the third round of briefing motions to dismiss.
The car wreck that cost the West Virginia chief justice the election
WV Record has this analysis of the claim being made by the former Chief Justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court that he lost the election because his injuries from a car wreck on which he has now filed suit, seeking lost wages for his former position, left him looking kind of weird at a campaign appearance that was filmed and used against him in television commercials.
Qwest and Osama
One of my good lawyer friends included this post on his daily list of links, and it pertains to the NSA phone call database, reaching this conclusion: "Perhaps Osama is holed up in a mountainous tribal region where even the telephone companies are not controlled by federal authorities? I've got it! Bush can't find Osama because Qwest won't cooperate!"
Oddly enough, my long distance carrier is Qwest, and I'm in that other mountainous tribal region, Southwest Virginia.
Of Cossacks, Pandora, dastardly deeds, wholesale campaigns, and knights in shining armor
This great article from the Bristol paper contains a lot of Wise County lawyer-speak.
The gist is that the defendants in the Appalachian election fraud case are complaining that the Commonwealth's attorney is telling the witnesses they don't have to talk to the defense lawyers. The paper's website has this link to one defendant's motion, which refers to the conduct of the Commonwealth, "through its knights in shining armor."
It all kind of makes you want to get in on a case like that.
Norfolk federal court building to go up not out?
The Norfolk paper reports here that the latest plans on expanding the federal courthouse in downtown Norfolk are to go up in the air.
The article says that unnamed courthouse employees are bummed at the thought of holding court while all the necessary construction work is being conducted.
Does the Cowboy Church buck heads with Bedford zoning?
This fine article says that officials in Bedford County are cracking down on the Cowboy Church (on Horseshoe Bend Road) as being a non-permitted use under the zoning ordinance.
Representatives of the Cowboy Church threaten legal action, including resort to the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. They say: "If he was having a square dance, nobody would have bothered him."
What the article does not explain is, what is the Cowboy Church? And, what are all these cowboys doing in Virginia?
The factsheet on Judge Boyle
Via Howard Bashman, former clerks for Fourth Circuit nominee Judge Boyle are circulating this factsheet in response to the Salon.com article about him.
Another black eye for the ABA on rating judges?
As reported here in the Washington Post, the ABA committee has decided unanimously that Michael Wallace, who went to Harvard and U.Va. Law and clerked for Justice Rehnquist, is unqualified for confirmation to the Fifth Circuit.
That seems odd, but then I read here and here and here that Wallace was impeachment counsel for Senator Lott, and it seems simply suspicious - either the committee has completely lost its bearings or they found out something horrible about the nominee. This is the same committee that said nominees Boyle, Owen, Alito, and Roberts are well qualified, and at one time said that Myers, Pryor, Brown, and Griffith are qualified.
It appears that there's a U.Va. man on the committee, but the nominee didn't even get his vote.
Pam Reeves in the hunt for Tennessee AG
On the Tennessee side, Knoxville lawyer Pam Reeves, a former president of the Tennessee Bar Association with some ties to Bristol (and who was born in Marion, Virginia), is after the position of Attorney General for Tennessee, according to this report.
So far as I know, she has the full support of all the bloggers on Johnson Street in Bristol, Virginia.
On Judge Luttig's resignation
I was quite surprised to hear on the radio this afternoon that Judge Michael Luttig of the Fourth Circuit is leaving the bench for a job with private industry. The Washington Post has this report, and the New York Times has this report.
Looking at what's left on the Fourth Circuit, Judge Boyle remains unconfirmed, Mr. Haynes remains unconfirmed to replace Judge Widener (who was born in 1923 and has been on the Court for 34 years), no one has been named to replace Claude Allen as the nominee to replace the late Judge Murnaghan, and now there will be a fourth vacancy. At the current rate, none of those vacancies will be filled during the term of President Bush.
Here's my two cents, unvarnished by any notion of politics: There are three district judges in Maryland - Quarles, Bennett (who does sort of look like the President), and Titus (who does sort of look like the Vice-President) - who have been confirmed by the Senate during the Bush administration - any of them could be confirmed to a seat on the Fourth Circuit. Judge Spencer from Richmond or Judge Smith from Norfolk - or maybe Judge Kelsey of the Virginia Court of Appeals - would be good choices to succeed Judge Luttig. Don't dilly-dally.

Luka Doncic's late-game heroics lift Mavericks over Timberwolves
The 19-year-old rookie scored nine points in the final five minutes of the Mavericks four-point road win over the Timberwolves.
By Gilbert McGregor
Luka Doncic (NBA Getty Images) https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/NBA_Global_CMS_image_storage/e2/84/luka-doncic-wolves-011119-ftr-nba-getty_130h53k6ehrza1a5yl6ndlm2if.jpg?t=1075911288&w=500
In the Mavericks' 119-115 win over the Timberwolves Friday night, rookie sensation Luka Doncic finished with 29 points, 12 assists, eight rebounds and two steals.
Like many times already this season, he saved his best for when it mattered most.

- Dallas Mavericks (@dallasmavs) January 12, 2019
The 19-year-old scored seven of his 29 points in the final 90 seconds of the game.
While his driving dunk was possibly the most impressive of the three field goals, his 3-pointer with 22.9 seconds remaining put the Mavs ahead for good.
MORE: Doncic receiving unprecedented All-Star love
Doncic continues to thrive in the clutch - with the score is within five points with less than five minutes remaining in regulation, the rookie is shooting 58.8 percent from the field and 46.7 from deep. Friday night, Doncic was 4-for-6 from the field (66.7 percent) in the final five minutes, sinking his lone 3-point attempt.
The win is especially important for the Mavs (20-22) as they try to remain in the Western Conference playoff picture. With the win in Minnesota, Dallas earns just its fourth road win of the season in 22 tries.

#PowerOfUs Meet Our Member: Maia
When I reflect on why I became a human rights defender, I think a lot of it stems back to the way in which I was raised and the place I was raised in. My combined Quaker and Jewish upbringing taught me that there is light in everyone, that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and everyone should be treated equally. With this value base, as a young child it was hard for me to understand why some people had it so much harder than others. I grew up just outside of Washington, DC, a city with extreme socio-economic and geographic racial segregation, and record-high homelessness. Seeing so much inequality in my own hometown while believing in everyone's equal access to opportunity led me to human rights work.
I first got involved with Amnesty during the first week of my first year in college. Amidst hundreds of clubs at my school's "Club Fair," I found the Amnesty table. Students told me about the work they did and handed me a postcard to sign to help free Filep Karma, an activist jailed for raising a flag. I went to the first meeting, and I was hooked. It was incredible to be surrounded by people who felt moved to fight for the rights of someone they might not even know. I loved how the Amnesty members were ready to work, I loved how many different kinds of actions could be taken to make a huge impact on someone's life, and I loved that I could make a real difference outside of what I was learning in the classroom.
My focus in my schoolwork on human rights issues gave me even more of a drive to be involved with Amnesty. The more I read in the classroom, the more I learned about injustices, and the more ideas I had as to how to end them. That semester our Amnesty chapter focused on te Stop Torture and My Body, My Rights campaigns, and on ending gun violence. I planned expert panels and film screenings, lobbying and action days. Once I got involved, I could not stop, and Amnesty gave me so many opportunities to do more.
In 2016, at the annual conference, I was trained as a Sexual and Reproductive Rights Advocate Trainer. I now have the opportunity to work with groups all over New York City, to help them know and access their rights and to help ensure sexual and reproductive rights for all, in this country and abroad. Sexual and reproductive rights are personal to everyone, and as the political climate of the USA tightens, we need to work even harder to ensure that everyone, everywhere, is free to make their own decisions about their bodies and not the decisions that someone else chooses for them. This means fighting for consent education on college campuses, accurate, fact-based comprehensive sex education in public schools, ensuring that everyone can choose who their intimate partner is and when to marry that person, protecting and expanding sexual and reproductive-related health services, ensuring that people can live free from sexual violence and from discrimination based on their sex, gender, sexuality, perceived identity and so much more.
Amnesty has allowed me to work on so many different yet intersecting human rights issues that I am passionate about, from sexual and reproductive rights, to criminal justice, incarceration, immigration and refugee issues. With the reforms so many of us seek with regard to the rights of immigrants, asylum seekers, criminal defendants and detainees not on the near horizon, it is all the more important that we, as Human
Rights activists, remain committed, creative and tireless in advocating for the values we treasure — values protecting individual freedoms, equal access, due process and justice under the law.
I'm going to be abroad with limited Internet access for the first part of 2017, but that can't stop me from being a human rights defender. For the next four years I plan on writing one letter a week to a US official on relevant human rights issues, to ask them to stand against harmful policies and to defend human rights themselves. I challenge you to join me in this endeavor. It is so easy to contact your elected officials, and working on a local level can be hugely effective in making change real.
Activism is hard work. Sometimes it feels that there are roadblocks at every turn and that nothing can be done. Challenges can seem insurmountable, and sometimes it can feel impossible to make a difference, so I want to share with you five easy steps you can take to create an action plan for change on whatever issue or set of issues you are passionate about.
1. Identify the specific issue you want to address. See if you can answer these three questions: "What needs to change?" "Why is it important?" "Who are the different stakeholders, and what can they do about it?"
2. Brainstorm. "You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time." — Angela Davis. Think big, be creative, think about what you would do if you had an unlimited budget (Fly a blimp? Build an app? Create a human rights-focused company? Start a sex-ed program?). No idea is too far out there: anything goes. You can get realistic later, but often the best plans come out of a dream that might seem unattainable.
3. Create a 12-month plan, once you've settled on an idea to guide you and help you hold yourself accountable. Set goals that are S.M.A.R.T. —
Specific — what specific issue will you focus on?
Measurable — how will you measure your success?
Assignable — who will complete the task?
Realistic — what results can you achieve given your resources?
Timely — what's your timetable?
4. Balance a Budget. How much will this endeavor cost both in money and in people's time? Will you need to raise money? How will you keep people committed? How will you make this solution sustainable in the long term? Money can be a huge setback in taking action. Think about whether there may be local sponsors you can reach out to.
5. Prioritize and Pace Yourself. We have a long, hard and exciting road ahead to defend and advance human rights, so pick issues you are passionate about and can be committed to for the long haul, keep vigilant, take time for yourself, and
remember that you are not in this fight alone. People are ready and willing to fight alongside you; sometimes they just need to be asked to join in.
Once you break it down into steps like these, being a human rights defender isn't hard. It's all in the first word: simply being human, and standing up for what you think is right.
Want to turn interest into action? Join us at our Annual General Meeting.

What to expect in the George Floyd murder case as prosecutors ask for patience
Death of George Floyd
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - After charges were filed against all four officers involved in the death of George Floyd Wednesday, a recent case against former Minneapolis Police Officer Mohamed Noor could provide clues as to what is next in the cases against Derek Chauvin and three other officers.
In a news conference Wednesday, Attorney General Keith Ellison asked the public for "continued patience" as it relates to the case. He said his office would not be able to make much about the case public as it moves forward and estimated it would take months.
AG Keith Ellison files charges against all four officers involved in death of George Floyd
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced Wednesday he has upgraded the charges against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin to second-degree murder and charged the other three officers involved in George Floyd's death.
"We are going to put the strongest charges forward, without fear or favor of anyone or anything," Ellison said.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman was alongside Ellison as he made the announcement Wednesday. Freeman prosecuted the most recent murder case against a Minneapolis Police Officer during the trial of Noor for his killing of Justine Ruszczyk in 2017.
Here is a timeline of the Noor case from the charges to his sentencing:
July 15, 2017 -- Justine Ruszczyk Damond is shot and killed by Noor after she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault near her home.
March 20, 2018 – Noor is charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The murder charge was later upgraded to second-degree murder. This was eight months after Ruszczyk's death.
April 1, 2019 (1 year and 12 days after the charges) – Jury selection begins
April 9, 2019 – Opening statements
April 29, 2019 – Closing arguments
April 30, 2019 – Noor convicted of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, but acquitted of intentional second-degree murder.
June 7, 2019 – Noor sentenced to 12.5 years
From the charges to the jury decision, 13 months and 10 days passed in the Noor case.
The differences between the cases may lead to a different timeline for the George Floyd murder case, however.
For one, there are four officers involved in the Floyd case and Chauvin was charged within about a week of the incident, as opposed to eight months in the Noor case.
Also, Noor faced a second-degree intentional murder charge while Chauvin is facing a second-degree unintentional murder charge.
George Floyd, a black man, died on Memorial Day while in police custody. Three police officers held him down, with one of them, Officer Derek Chauvin, kneeling on his neck for nearly nine minutes as Floyd repeatedly said, "I can't breathe."
Bystander video showed Chauvin continued to kneel on Floyd's neck even after he lost consciousness and appeared to stop breathing. None of the officers, including the fourth officer standing nearby, moved from their positions until an ambulance arrived, despite bystanders' pleas.
TIMELINE: A chaotic, emotional week in Minneapolis following death of George Floyd
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner has ruled his death a homicide and determined his heart stopped as the officers restrained him.

'Dear Jeff...': Trudeau sends personal pitch to Amazon CEO on choosing Canada for its second headquarters
In a two-page letter, Trudeau gives Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos the full sales pitch on Canada — though diligently avoids tipping his hand toward one city or another
Brian Platt
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is making a personal pitch to Amazon to open its second headquarters north of the border, marketing Canada's cities as "progressive, confident and natural homes" for the company.
The deadline to submit bids to Amazon ended Wednesday at midnight, and Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary are all expected to be in on the scramble, among many others.
In a two-page letter dated Oct. 13 that starts "Dear Jeff," Trudeau gives Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos the full sales pitch on Canada — though diligently avoids tipping his hand toward one city or another.
The letter puts a heavy emphasis on Canada as an open, tolerant and multicultural society, before going on to promote the business climate and educated workforce.
"As the first country in the world to adopt a policy of multiculturalism, we have shown time and time again that a country can be stronger not in spite of its differences, but because of them," it says.
"Diversity is a fact, but inclusion is a choice. Canada has made its decision and our cities have become windows to the world."
Canada's major cities vying for Amazon's second home in North America
Halifax's 'dark horse' bid for new Amazon headquarters sparks soul searching
Wooing Amazon with sun, fun … and giant buttons
The letter specifically mentions Canada's efforts to attract skilled immigrants — a noted contrast to the immigration restrictions U.S. President Donald Trump has put in place that have prompted protests from American tech leaders.
"In the new economy, however, we recognize that we must also have access to the best talent in the world, wherever it is," the letter says. "We have therefore introduced dedicated immigration services, allowing companies to attract highly skilled global talent through an expedited review process to quickly recruit for the skills they need."
Trudeau also promotes Canada's universal health care system and "a robust public pension plan," saying they reduce costs for employers.
Finally, the letter notes Canada's relationship with the United States, saying they have "the longest, most peaceful and mutually beneficial relationship of any two countries in the world." It notes Canada is the largest foreign customer for American-made goods and services.
Canadian cities are expected to make their bids public soon, but it remains to be seen whether financial incentives will play a role. Ontario's government has already said it will not be offering public funds for Amazon to come.
Trudeau's letter does point out the federal government's spending on innovation, and says Canadian cities making the pitch have "the full support of our government."
Amazon isn't expected to make a final announcement until 2018.

PDP 'll rebuild Nigeria – Senator Ayu
I am not aspiring for the position of Vice President-Zulum
Mammoth Crowd As Makinde, Wike, Fintiri Others Welcome Jandor to PDP In Lagos.
Home Nation
in Nation
PDP has assured Nigerians of its commitment to rebuild and bring back the lost glory of the nation through unity, equity, justice, adherence to the rule of law and due process.
February Convention: APC Shortlists Four Contenders For National Chairman
AfDB boss, Akinwumi Adesina asked to run for Nigeria's President in 2023
The party's national chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, gave the assurance at the Special Reception organised in his honour by Benue state government in Makurdi, Benue State.
Senator Ayu in a statement from his media office lampooned the APC controlled Federal Government under President Buhari, for its failure to implement mechanism of action toward protecting and saving lives and properties of Nigerians.
According to the statement, "President Buhari's failure has brought unwarranted division, hardship, agony and mistrust among Nigerians and, has destroyed our reputation of brotherly love, affection, trust, tolerance across religious and ethnic divide.
"Hate, lies and conspiracy have taken over our hope and created suspicions and intolerance among different people in the country.
"The new PDP National Working Committee, NWC, under my watch is determined to bring good leadership to the country, rescue and rebuild the nation for a sustainable and positive change that will usher security, equity, justice, unity and political cohesion among Nigerians.
"We should stop praying or agitating for disintegration of Nigeria, our country will remain united, peaceful, despite the great challenges facing us, especially on insecurity, where innocent people are being slaughtered, maimed and raped.
"Nigerians should not lose hope because of certain group of people that failed to deliver on good governance, protection of lives and property, equity and justice, as PDP is ready and modified to correct these imbalances for a united Nigeria."
The former Senate President, in his soothing words to agitation across the country, urged to sheath their sword as, no section of country will be subjected to injustice or persecution, under PDP government.
"Every section of the country is presently facing one challenge or the other. We condemn heinous crimes where innocent people are killed and properties destroyed, whereas security operatives are so handicapped and poorly organized for the protection of lives and properties.
"We should stop praying or agitating for disintegration of Nigeria, our country will remain united, peaceful, despite the great challenges facing us, especially on insecurity, where innocent people are being slaughtered, maimed and raped," Senator Ayu admonished.
In his address, Governor Samuel Ortom describe Senator Iyorchia Ayu as a man with focus that will lead the PDP into success. He also assured him of support from government and people of Benue state to achieve his mission of rebuilding and rescuing Nigerians from the poor governance of APC controlled Federal Government.
Former Senate President, Senator David Mark, members of the PDP National Working Committee are among the teeming guests at the occasion.

Girl killed after being struck by sturgeon that jumped into boat
LAKE CITY - A 5-year-old Florida girl died after a sturgeon leaped into her boat along the Suwannee River and struck her.
Wildlife officials said Jaylon Rippy died after being struck Thursday night. Her mother and 9-year-old brother were also injured and taken to a Gainesville hospital. Their condition was not known.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said this is the first fatality recorded from a sturgeon strike on the Suwannee River.
Four people have been injured by jumping sturgeon this year, including two boaters who were taken to the hospital Friday.
Wildlife officials say Colleen Harvey, 42, and her husband Charles, 41, were struck while boating along the Santa Fe River. Last month, a 14-year-old was knocked unconscious by a sturgeon while boating with her family.
The fish are famous for leaping more than 7 feet above the water, and many people boating on the north Florida river have been injured by the large, airborne sturgeon over the years. The large, prehistoric-looking sturgeon have hard plates along their backs. They can grow up to 8 feet long and up to 200 pounds and cause serious injuries.
In 2007, a leaping sturgeon severely injured a 50-year-old woman from St. Petersburg as she was riding a personal watercraft along the Suwannee River. She suffered a ruptured spleen and had three fingers reattached by surgeons, but she lost her left pinkie finger and a tooth.
The fish usually return to the area in the spring, but their acrobatics often depend on the water levels. This year's low levels are causing the sturgeon to jump more frequently than in recent years.
Biologists aren't sure why they jump, but they assure boaters that the fish aren't trying to attack people.
Boaters are urged to wear life jackets and avoid the bow of the boat to avoid injury.

Skelton: California voters didn't want more taxes amid COVID-19
newssix360 November 16, 2020 Uncategorized No Comments
California voters rejected an ambitious state ballot initiative to substantially raise business property taxes. But they approved many local tax and bond measures. Why the distinction?
One reason is that voters are suspicious of Sacramento politicians. The public may not especially trust local officials either, but they're closer and can be better watched and held accountable.
Another reason is that voters this year are very anxious about the economy as the pandemic takes a toll on businesses, jobs and retirement savings. They didn't want to unleash a major new property tax hike that might further cripple the California economy.
This is a deep-blue state with strong Democratic leanings. But on the landmark property tax proposal, Proposition 15, many Democrats voted like Republicans.
Democratic leaders and strategists apparently underestimated national surveys that showed there was one issue on which President Trump usually outpolled Joe Biden. It was on the question of which candidate would be best at handling the economy.
"People were incredibly nervous about their personal economic situations," Democratic consultant Gale Kaufman says. "It's really difficult to get people to spend money when they're nervous about their own economic lot…. They didn't want to screw up their 401(k)s."
Another steep hurdle for Proposition 15 was that it asked voters to dramatically change Proposition 13, the historic 1978 property tax cut that's viewed by many as sacrosanct.
Residential property would not have been affected, but many voters feared a camel's nose under their tent. They suspected the tax-and-spenders would be coming after their homeowner tax breaks next.
Under Proposition 15, commercial property would have been reassessed at market value every three years. Currently, that reassessment comes only when the property changes hands. And that's almost never for big corporations using Proposition 13 loopholes.
Socking it to corporations is one thing. But a problem for 15 was that many small businesses lease their store sites and offices, and they would have been smacked. Under standard leases, the business owner is liable for the tax hikes.
"It's time for the proponents [of 15] to accept the premise that Californians know the importance of Proposition 13," says Robert Gutierrez, president and chief executive of the California Taxpayers Assn.
But consultant Larry Grisolano, the chief strategist for Proposition 15, says the measure's close vote sends the opposite message.
"It's indisputable that there's an underlying demand in the California electorate for big corporations to pay their fair share," he says.
OK, but the next time anti-13 forces launch an assault on the iconic law, they should focus narrowly on big corporations and be extra careful to exclude small businesses, even if the total tax take is smaller.
Proposition 15, sponsored by the California Teachers Assn. and the Service Employees International Union, would have raised up to $11.5 billion annually. The money would have been split 60% to local governments and 40% to K-12 schools and community colleges.
Business interests spent roughly $72 million to defeat the initiative. At this writing, voters had rejected it by roughly 52% to 48%.
But voters signed off on lots of local tax increases and bond issues. And under California's stringent supermajority rules, most local tax increases require a two-thirds vote because of Proposition 13. School bonds need 55%.
Among proposed local sales tax increases, 53 were approved and 9 rejected, according to an early report by the California Taxpayers Assn. Several other measures were too close to call.
Of parcel tax proposals, 23 won and 13 lost. Forty school bond measures were approved, requiring property tax hikes. Only four were rejected, based on CalTax's early look.
So why did these local measures pass — but Proposition 15 fail? There was an early warning sign.
In the March primary, a hefty $15-billion school construction bond measure proposed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature was rejected by voters. It was the first defeat of a state school bond measure since 1994, a very Republican year.
"In local school districts, voters know what's going on," Gutierrez says. "They understand what the money may or may not be used for. There's a local connection to the community."
That's not the case with voters and Sacramento.
Proposition 15 was not placed on the ballot by the Legislature and governor. It was labor's doing. And the billions raised would not have flowed into the state treasury. The money would have gone to local governments and schools. But it was strongly supported by Democratic leaders and the governor. The state's brand was on the measure.
"People are not willing to give Sacramento a blank check," says Rob Lapsley, president of the California Business Roundtable, a leading opponent of Proposition 15. "They are willing to support taxes on the local level. We were glad to see some of these local things pass because the communities needed funds, whether they were from parcel taxes or bonds."
"Local governments are more trusted," says former Democratic consultant Darry Sragow, who publishes the California Target Book, which chronicles legislative and congressional races. "They feel that local officials are less likely to betray them."
Grisolano says the pandemic both helped and hurt Proposition 15. Voters saw the need for raising more money to improve local public healthcare and education, he says.
"But it's a hard time for people to contemplate major reforms when they're right in the middle of something as profound as the pandemic," he says. "The economic considerations that weighed on people's minds certainly helped drive a 'no' vote."

Hospital-Acquired Infections
Sections Hospital-Acquired Infections
Healthcare-associated infections are most commonly caused by viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens. These pathogens should be investigated in all febrile patients who are admitted for a nonfebrile illness or those who develop clinical deterioration unexplained by the initial diagnosis.
Most patients who have healthcare-associated infections caused by bacterial and fungal pathogens have a predisposition to infection caused by invasive supportive measures such as endotracheal intubation and the placement of intravascular lines and urinary catheters. Ninety-one percent of bloodstream infections were in patients with central intravenous lines (CVL), 95% of pneumonia cases were in patients under going mechanical ventilation, and 77% of urinary tract infections were in patients with urinary tract catheters. [27]
Risk factors for the development of catheter-associated bloodstream infections in neonates include catheter hub colonization, exit site colonization, catheter insertion after the first week of life, duration of parenteral nutrition, and extremely low birth weight (< 1000 g) at the time of catheter insertion. [1] In patients in the PICU, risks for catheter-associated bloodstream infections increase with neutropenia, prolonged catheter dwell time (>7 d), use of percutaneously placed CVL (higher than tunneled or implanted devices), and frequent manipulation of lines. [2] Disruption of catheter dressings has also been shown to increase risk for catheter-related infections. [28]
Candida spp are increasingly important pathogens in the NICU. Risk factors for the development of candidemia in neonates include gestational age less than 32 weeks, 5-min Apgar scores of less than 5, shock, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, prior use of intralipids, parenteral nutrition administration, CVL use, H2 blocker administration, intubation, or length of stay longer than 7 days. [3]
Risk factors for the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in pediatric patients include reintubation, genetic syndromes, immunodeficiency, and immunosuppression. [4, 5] In neonates, a prior episode of bloodstream infection is a risk factor for the development of VAP. [6]
Risk factors for the development of healthcare-associated urinary tract infection in pediatric patients include bladder catheterization, prior antibiotic therapy, and cerebral palsy. [7]
In addition to the presence of systemic signs and symptoms of infection (eg, fever, tachycardia, tachypnea, skin rash, general malaise), the source of healthcare-associated infections may be suggested by the instrumentation used in various procedures. For example, an endotracheal tube may be associated with sinusitis, tracheitis, and pneumonia; an intravascular catheter may be the source of phlebitis or line infection; and a Foley catheter may be associated with a urinary tract infection.
Patients with pneumonia may have fever, cough, purulent sputum and abnormal chest auscultatory findings such as decreased breath sounds, crackles or wheezes.
Patients with urinary tract infection may present with or without fever. Patients with cystitis can have suprapubic tenderness while those with pyelonephritis can have costovertebral tenderness. Upon inspection, their urine can be cloudy and foul-smelling.
Neonates on the other hand usually do not present with any of the above findings and may have very subtle and nonspecific signs of infection. Fever may or may not be present. Signs of infection can include temperature and/or blood pressure instability, apnea, bradycardia, lethargy, fussiness, and feeding intolerance.
In a survey done on 110,709 pediatric ICU patients, 6,290 healthcare-associated infections were noted. [27] The top 3 major sites of infections, accounting for 64% of all healthcare-associated infections, were bloodstream infections (28%), pneumonia (21%), and urinary tract infection (15%). Each of these infections was strongly associated with use of an invasive device.
The top 3 pathogens in bloodstream infections were coagulase-negative staphylococci (38%), Enterococcus (11%), and S aureus (9%). Candida albicans accounted for about 5.5% of bloodstream infections. The top 3 pathogens for pneumonia were P aeruginosa (22%), Saureus (17%), and Haemophilus influenzae (10%). The top 3 pathogens for urinary tract infections were Escherichia coli (19%), C albicans (14%), and P aeruginosa (13%). Gram-negative enteric organisms accounted for about 50% of all urinary tract infections. The top 3 pathogens for surgical site infections were S aureus (20%), P aeruginosa (15%), and coagulase-negative staphylococci (14%).
Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a prevalent cause of infections. Traditionally, community-associated MRSA infections have been associated with USA300 or USA400 strains and healthcare-associated infections with USA100 or USA200 strains. However this distinction is becoming less clear with USA300 strains now increasingly identified as a cause of HAI. A population-based study showed MRSA USA300 was not associated with mortality for either central line–associated bloodstream infections or community-onset pneumonia. [29]
Surgical site infections (SSI) occur within 30 days after the operative procedure or within 1 year if an implant was placed. Criteria for the diagnosis of SSI include purulent drainage at the site of incision, clinical symptoms of infection (such as pain, redness, swelling, etc), presence of an abscess, isolation of organism from the site culture, and clinical diagnosis of SSI by the surgeon. [30]
Rotavirus continues to be a cause of acute gastroenteritis in hospitalized children, with greatest susceptibility in children younger than 3 years. Aside from having nonbloody diarrhea, patients may present with fever, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. Other viruses that can cause hospital-associated gastroenteritis include norovirus and adenoviruses. Gastroenteritis due to adenovirus can be especially debilitating in immunocompromised patients.
Clostridium difficile is the most important bacterial cause of healthcare-associated gastroenteritis. Associated clinical conditions include asymptomatic carriage, diarrhea, and pseudomembranous colitis. Diagnosis is suspected in a patient with diarrhea and recent history of antibiotic use (especially cephalosporins and clindamycin).

Which way to go now for CUF's embattled Hamad?
Sunday March 17 2019
Dar es Salaam. Ousted Civic United Front (CUF) secretary general Seif Shariff Hamad has reached a crucial crossroads in his rollercoaster political career following his disputed sacking yesterday.
An ominous warning on Friday by controversial CUF chairman Prof Ibrahim Lipumba that Mr Hamad's days in the party were numbered served as a prelude to the announcement.
This served as the culmination of several months of bitter, yet comic and dramatic bickering within the troubled opposition outfit that has, for over a year now, been attracting headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Yesterday, he was unsurprisingly kicked out at the end of the Lipumba faction's three-day meeting. CUF announced Khalifa Suleiman Khalifa as the new secretary general. That was the latest twist in a political career that has seen soaring highs and deep lows. Granted, the writing has always been on the wall for the opposition leader since the shock 'Lipumba Comeback' of June 13, 2016.
But it was yesterday's decision to finally boot Mr Hamad out of the party that has raised the question of what options he has remaining.
His faction said on Friday they would announce their next course of action after a High Court ruling in a case they are challenging the holding of meetings under the CUF umbrella by the Lipumba faction.
We look at some of the possible ways out for the seasoned politician:
Keep on fighting:
Already, senior members of his faction have maintained that they are not letting go – at least for now until the High Court rules. On Friday, Mr Ismail Jussa, a close ally of Mr Hamad, told The Citizen that the meeting the Lipumba faction convened was of no consequence.
"There is a pending case (Number 23 of 2016) filed at the High Court, and which must be respected," he said in a telephone interview.
He said they are also waiting for a ruling in a case they are challenging the Registrar of Political Parties' decision to recognise Prof Lipumba as their party chairman.
With the authorities' backing of Prof Lipumba, it might prove to be a difficult fight for Mr Hamad's camp.
Should he decide to stick to his guns, however, he enjoys the political capital of a strong support base, especially in Pemba.
Quit CUF, form new party
This sounds easier said than done. This course of action borders on a plunge into the dark considering the political goings-on, and also the fact that the electioneering mode is already on, apparently.
It's a big gamble too considering the possibility of hurdles he may face trying to register a new party under the new Political Parties Act.
But again, should he go this direction and somehow gets his party registered, Mr Hamad as a person appears to have the numbers he will need in an election. He has already proven his mantle and popularity.
In 1995 and 2010, he garnered 49 per cent of the votes. CUF denounced all official results in the Isles.
University of Dar es Salaam Richard Mbunda is of the opinion that this may be the most viable option for the embattled CUF leader.
"Prof Lipumba is being used to weaken CUF in Zanzibar ahead of the 2020 General Election. The only option for Mr Hamad's faction is to form their own political party to carry his vision and maintain the reputation he has in the Isles," he says.
Prof Ibrahim Mugambi of the Kampala International University concurs. "He should be strategising on a new political party that will run during the 2025 elections," he says.
Retire from active politics
It's a move that will obviously please his detractors, but the million-dollar question is: Is it even an option for him at the moment?
Despite his age, Mr Hamad remains a strong pillar in CUF – and disappointing his huge base of supporters sounds like the wrong move. More so, it may not be the best moment to go. His allies wouldn't want such a sad exit from politics.
On the downside, he has obviously been significantly weakened by the well-executed shenanigans to oust him since nearly three years ago. He, therefore, risks suffering a more embarrassing exit should he continue to stay.
Pursue Ukawa agenda; join Chadema
Chadema will be the biggest beneficiaries if Mr Hamad decides to pursue opposition politics from its camp – which has been serious hit by high-profile defections over the past two years.
He played a big role in the formation of the Coalition of Defenders of the People's Constitution (Ukawa), and that put him on a collision course with Prof Lipumba – once a close ally.
The upside here is that he is not forming anything new as it were, but pursuing an agenda that is the genesis of his current plight.
However, ideologies differences with his opposition sympathisers are still glaring, and this may cost him support. Prof David Ndyamukama, of the University of Dodoma, thinks this is the most viable option.
"The best option for Mr Hamad is to join another political party or start their own. In politics we are taught to identify, plan and get rid of our rivals," he says.

There is a lot going on in these verses, but they contain a single train of thought, contrasting the days of our youth, when everything seemed bright and exciting, with the days of our waning years, when things seem dark and foreboding. Isn't it interesting that almost every generation looks back to the "good old days"… but if we are honest, those days weren't always all very good. To the young who are enjoying life, Solomon says, "do not neglect your creator." Why is this so important? Simple. Spiritual maturity grows slowly and it is only spiritual maturity that prepares you for the dark days and for those days leading up to your death. So, in other words, the earlier you begin to develop that spiritual maturity, the better off you will be when the times of trial enter into your life.
The Rabbi Akabia ben Mahalalel (late first and early second century) wrote that there are three things you need to know in life: from whence you came, to where you are going, and before whom you must stand in judgment. In some ways, these words address at least the final two questions and allude to the first. We are born into this world in an ordinary way, but do not think that the God of creation does not have a hand in our individual creation — he is not just a creator in general senses, but he is a creator who functions as a potter, forming each of us in our mother's wombs and placing within each one of us a soul designed after his plan and for his purposes. Further, unless our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, returns within our lifetimes, we will all go to the grave, our bodies being held in-trust within the ground for that day of resurrection. And finally, it is before God that we will be made to give an account of all we have and have not done when the books are opened before his great white throne.
The Hebrews often treated some of this language figuratively (the strong man bent over reminding us of how age and a deteriorating spine bend down with age, the almond blossoms as one's hair goes from dark to grey, and the caper (used for the vitality of the libido) is not doing its job. And, certainly, the the context of a poetic passage, that reading is not unfair, though it is a little further than I am comfortable going. Such as it is, this is filled with idioms and figures of speech that do not lend themselves to a word-for word translation. Again, such should be no surprise within a poetic passage such as this.
