Michigan Case Adds U.S. Dimension to Debate on Genital Mutilation
NYT Op ED:
The arrest of 3 doctors in Michigan for performing female genital mutilation prompted Tasneem Raja, 34, a journalist, to write about being cut in New Jersey. She said she had received "an outpouring of emails from people saying thank you."
"This Michigan case made me think I want to speak out," said Nazia Mirza, 34, who was cut at age 6 in her hometown, Houston. "To me it's very much like a rape survivor. If you don't say anything, then how are you going to expose it and bring awareness?"
But Ms. Raja said the case was exposing a spectrum of feelings. Even among Bohra women who oppose cutting, she said, views range from "women who say this has greatly impacted their sex life and their ability to enjoy sex, to people like me who walked away with lifelong emotional trauma, to people who say, 'I don't see what the big deal is.'"

CAIR-AZ Condemns ADL's Stereotyping of Muslims in Bill 1062 Debate
The Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-AZ) today called on the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to apologize for stereotypical statements made about Muslims during recent debate over Arizona Senate Bill 1062, which would have shielded businesses from lawsuits if employees acted on religious beliefs to discriminate against customers.
In testimony before a state Senate committee the ADL's assistant regional director posed a scenario in which, "A Muslim-owned cab company might refuse to drive passengers to a Hindu temple."
"It is unconscionable that a group purporting to defend civil rights would resort to religious bigotry to promote its political agenda," said CAIR-AZ Board Chair Imraan Siddiqi. "The introduction of this stereotypical scenario gave way to the narrative that Muslims are in some way serial abusers of 'religious freedom based denials of service,' which is completely baseless."
Siddiqi noted that Muslims, like the majority of other Arizonans, believe that those serving the public must treat all customers equally, or be prepared to seek another line of work.
In 2010, CAIR's New York chapter called on the ADL to retract its statement against the construction of an Islamic community center in New York City.

Dual Nationality in Germany: Double Standards in the Citizenship Debate
Summary: If a Turk receives and keeps German citizenship in addition to his own Turkish nationality, then he suffers an identity crisis. If a German were to additionally obtain Turkish citizenship however, this would be no problem at all. A commentary by Prof. Klaus J. Bade.

Debate on European Islam: A Mined Terrain
The concept of European Islam has proved to be a constant source of controversy. For some it embodies the deliverance of Islam from everything that is perceived as backward looking and pre-modern. Others fear that a European Islam is a watered-down religion, a kind of government-controlled "state Islam", prepared to fully accommodate to the wishes of the authorities. By Claudia Mende
Initial debate on European Islam was ill-fated. The German political scientist Bassam Tibi introduced the concept in the early 1990s. He linked the concept with a severe criticism of traditional Islam, which, in Tibi's view, has experienced nothing akin to the Enlightenment. He thereby launched a head-on clash with many Muslims. Bassam Tibi proposed European Islam as an alternative model to the Islam practiced in the Arab world and to everything that appears deplorable there.
According to Tibi, Muslims should adopt the dominant European culture as their own, and many considered this to be nothing less than a call to assimilation. Since this inauspicious start, discussions on a European variety of Islam have been sharply polarized.
Varied lives of European Muslims
Of course, living in Europe influences the outlooks and beliefs of Muslims here. Yet, is it possible to reasonably speak of a European Islam? This question was the theme of an international conference recently hosted by the Catholic Academy in Stuttgart, Germany.
Some 15 million Muslims currently live in Europe. Their ways of life and identities are highly varied.
While the Muslim community in Western Europe consists mainly of immigrants who have arrived since the 1950s as well as their descendants into the fourth generation, Islam in the Balkans has a totally different face. In Bosnia, Muslims can look back upon a centuries-old history and they have long since regarded themselves as Europeans.
Even in Poland, in addition to recent immigrants, there exists a small minority of Muslim Tatars, who settled in the country 600 years ago. Islam in France has strong roots in North and West Africa, while in Britain, the vast majority of Muslims have immigrant backgrounds from Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The German Islam Conference has also asserted its desire to make a contribution to European Islam, thereby giving it the air of a project imposed from above. Does the state intend to embrace the representatives of Islam for as long as it takes until some sort of secularized "Islam light" emerges? Would this be a "tamed" Islam, as its disturbing aspects will have been shed? And by disturbing, we mean here those aspects that sound "unenlightened" to European ears, such as the Sharia or the lack of a separation between church and state.
Some critics of the German Islam Conference, which was initiated by former Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble, view such moves as an attempt by outsiders to interfere in an internal Islamic debate.
Parallels with Christianity
The German-Turkish sociologist Levent Tezcan from Tilburg University in the Netherlands sees Christianity as the reference point in the discussion about a European Islam. He says that European Islam may develop just like Christianity did. It would mean that Islam, as Christianity before it, eventually could overcome its conflict with modernity and reconcile itself with the modern world.
This is precisely where the critics view the danger and sense with foreboding a watering down of their religion. They see the empty pews in churches and express the fear of abandoned prayer rooms in the recently built mosques. The fear is that the forces binding the faithful to their own traditions will eventually wane. Just as Christian churches are struggling with declining membership, Muslims also dread the day when they lose their young people to a secular Europe. The prospect of such a decline arouses fear in many Muslims. As Tezcan puts it, the "landmines" are ready to explode in the debate on European Islam.
The situation is equally tense for those Muslims questioning for themselves what a European Islam really means. This question is especially pertinent for younger Muslims, those in the third and fourth generation, as they no longer feel closely bound to their "homeland." This is particularly the case in Germany, where Turkey has traditionally claimed the right to influence the Turkish-Muslim community and its development. Ditib, the Turkish-Islamic Union, is an umbrella organization representing almost 900 mosque communities in Germany. It is closely tied to Diyanet, the Turkish religious authority in Ankara. Kerem Öktem from St. Anthony's College at Oxford University has described Diyanet, with its close to 100,000 employees, as a kind of "Islamic mini Vatican."
Close religious ties abroad
Through the religious authorities, the Turkish state exerts structural influence on Ditib, and thereby also on Turkish Muslims in Germany. The Turkish state pays the salaries of the hodjas, i.e. Muslim scholars, in the Ditib mosques, and the president of Ditib in Germany also serves as the embassy counsellor for religious affairs at the Turkish embassy in Berlin. Even Prime Minister Erdogan has frequently intervened in the debate on immigration in Germany and has warned his fellow countrymen against assimilation.
Such close ties to a foreign country are unimaginable for Muslims from Bosnia. They have a completely different perspective on this issue from the Islamic associations in Germany. Already back in 1882, Bosnia withdrew from the authority of Sheikh ul-Islam in Istanbul. "It was painful, but it was the right decision in the long run," asserts Senad Kusur from the Bosnian Educational, Cultural, and Sports Association in Vienna. He asks provocatively, "Will Western European Muslims have their 1882, too?"
At the moment, this would be unthinkable for the representatives of Ditib and Milli Görüs, the Turkish diaspora organization in Europe. The question provokes fear in their hearts. In light of a growing Islamophobia in Europe, they are not at all certain whether their children will be able to enjoy equal rights as Muslims in Germany.
For many association representatives Turkey remains a lifeline, symbolically, at the very least. Mustafa Yeneroglu, Secretary General of Milli Görüs, says that the members of the association still live with one foot in Turkey. "If things don't work out in Germany, then there is always the option of returning to Turkey," he says. But do the subsequent generations see things the same way?
The structures of the religious organizations indicate another story. According to the sociologist Levent Tezcan, the sort of mosque associations that exist in Germany are not to be found in Turkey. The manner in which the mosque associations are organised is typically European, he claims. The more Islamic structures are created in Germany, the more an association such as Ditib would organize things in a manner specific to Germany, thereby loosening the ties to Diyanet. While the younger generation of Muslims is pushing for greater integration into German society, older Muslims fear the loss of connection to their homeland. They fear the day will come when their children no longer understand Turkish.
Critical voices sidelined
At present, significant structures for Islam in Germany are being created through the establishment of programmes in Islamic theology at German universities and the introduction of courses in Islam at schools in most German states. Rabeya Müller from the Centre for Islamic Women's Research (ZIF) in Cologne cautions, however, that dialogue within the Muslim community leaves much to be desired and critical voices are sidelined.
Is the much-heralded European Islam merely a construct that has little to do with the daily reality of Muslims, as Taner Yüksel, head of the education department at Ditib, believes? In case of doubt, real life is one step ahead of the intellectual debates. A European Islam is already far more than what the Islamic functionaries are willing to acknowledge.

France's Peculiar Same-Sex Marriage Debate
Jocelyne Cesari
On May 18, French president Francois Hollande signed the Marriage for All bill, legalizing same-sex marriage in France. Why should it be surprising? From the American point of view, French are known for their strong secular culture, their praise of sexual freedom, and their commitment to abortion. So no surprise there. But the conditions surrounding the vote were very surprising and unusual in the French secular context. It brought to the streets a strong opposition led by Catholics like Frigid Barjot, the self-proclaimed "press secretary for Jesus." Opposition was both religious and secular, creating strange alliances of secular leftist and religious conservative figures. Most notably, the main argument against the law drew on natural and social sciences, not on religion.The same-sex marriage debate has divided French society in a way not seen for nearly three decades. The split was reflected in the vote for the law itself that passed by a slim margin (331 to 225). And the vote was the outcome of several months of heated and passionate debate, including demonstrations in major French cities that rallied more than three hundred thousand people at a time. Columnist and right-wing political activist Virginie Merle, better known as Frigide Barjot (a pun on Brigitte Bardot), has emerged as the spokesperson of the opposition. Outspoken and witty, she became a born-again Catholic in 2004 after making a pilgrimage to Lourdes. As early as last fall, she took the lead in coordinating protesters under the umbrella movement La Manif Pour Tous, (Demonstration for All). Since January the group has organized several demonstrations and continues to protest despite passage of the law. In the last stages of the parliamentary debate, the protests even took a radical turn with clashes between the demonstrators and the police. Barjot called "for blood" while Beatrice Bourges, co-leader of La Manif Pour Tous, threatened civil disobedience if the law passed, and called for a French Spring. Other protests continue as well. On May 21, seventy-eight-year-old historian and writer Dominique Venner, known for his extreme-right-wing positions, shot himself on the altar of Notre Dame in front of fifteen hundred visitors after professing his support for ongoing demonstrations on his blog.Even if the majority of protesters come from groups close to the conservative branch of the Catholic Church, what is striking from an American perspective is the ideological and religious diversity of the movement. It includes various political groups and personalities from the entire ideological spectrum, as well as representatives of religions other than Catholicism, and even gay groups in favor of the status quo. The contrast with the United States, where the opponents belong mostly to evangelical or Catholic groups in alliance with the Republican Party, is stark. Even if we limit the comparison between the two countries to religious groups, the difference is striking. The 2012 U.S. presidential elections showed a shift among young Republican voters toward support for same-sex marriage, while the protests against the same-sex marriage in France reveal the emergence of "les catholiques intransigeants" (uncompromising Catholics). They are urban, well educated and lean toward the extreme right. For example, 27 percent of 18-35 years olds who belong to this group voted for the National Front of Marine Le Pen (daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen) in the last presidential election. This is a significant change from the previous generation of Catholic activists who were enthusiast supporters of Vatican II and tended to vote for left-wing parties.
Most interestingly, the protests have mobilized a vast array of political and religious personalities. For this reason, the debate was rarely coined in religious terms (except by a few clerics like Cardinal Vingt-Trois). It was grounded instead on anthropological and sociological arguments about family, social stability and the survival of the human species. In stark opposition with the United States, where scientists and scholars have usually spoken in favor of same-sex marriage using scientific arguments, the same groups in France have used science against same-sex marriage. On March 16, 170 law professors sent an open letter to the French Senate stating their opinion that children adopted by same-sex couples will be deprived of knowing their biological origin. The letter also argued that same-sex marriage legitimizes the commodification of procreation by producing a "market where children can be fabricated and sold like goods". Psychoanalysts Pierre Levy-Soussan, Jean Pierre Winter, and Christian Flavigny weighed in warning of the negative effects of same-sex families in the psychological development of children, calling such couples a biological experiment. Philosophers and sociologists also joined in, the most prominent being Sylviane Agacenski, the wife of former socialist prime minister, Lionel Jospin. She raised concerns about the survival of the marriage as a fundamental institution for the transmission of social identities based on gender and generations. Philosopher Pierre-Yves Zarka argued that same-sex marriage legitimizes extreme individualism that puts the social cohesion of democratic communities at risk by undermining social cohesion in favor of personal desires and lifestyles.
These biological and sociological arguments against the law reveal an anxiety about the meaning of social identities and the nature of social cohesion that is very specific to French society and goes far beyond the religious condemnation of homosexuality. At the same time, it highlights that French collective values remain unconsciously connected to a traditional vision of society, and that the religious conception of the family has not been completely eroded by centuries of French secularization.
Jocelyne Cesari is senior fellow at Georgetown University's Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, and director of Harvard University's program on Islam in the West.

Segregated Seating at University College London Debate Between Islam and Atheism Sparks Controversy
A debate held on the campus of University College London (UCL) and hosted by the Islamic Education and Research Academy (iERA) between Professor Lawrence Krauss, a leading atheist, and Hamza Andreas Tzortzis, a lecturer on Islam, sparked controversy when event organizers instituted a gender-segregated seating policy, though the specifics of this policy are contested. The debate was held on 9 March and was entitled, "Islam or Atheism: Which Makes More Sense?"
Reports indicate that Professor Krauss, upon seeing women directed toward the back of the auditorium and three men being removed from the women's section, threatened to walk out of the debate. This apparently prompted event organizers to abandon the seating policy and the event was held as scheduled.
Accounts differ as to the nature of the seating policy, with one member of the iERA claiming that women attendees merely had the option to sit in a women's only section and were not forced to do so. The arrangement was instituted to respect those Muslim women who desired to "adhere to orthodox Islamic principles" by sitting in their own section. The member further emphasized that the seating arrangement, consisting of one all-male section, one all-female section, and one mixed section, was approved by UCL representatives prior to the debate.
For its part, UCL has launched an investigation into the issue to determine whether any university policies had been violated.

Debate on the implementation of Islamic law in Britain
Implementations of Islamic law in the UK and their effect on the integration of the Muslim community have been debated in the public. Many argue that such a move would disturb the secular nature of the society and lead to problems in creating a coherent society. On the other hand, some argue that whether or not it is allowed, it is being implemented by the Muslim community and allowing it would help the further integration of Muslims in the Britain.
The article touches upon these issues while giving examples how the Islamic law that is combined with the British law is implemented to solve the problems of British Muslims.

The Circumcision Debate in Germany: A Miscalculation
Is it possible to justify a Cologne court's ruling on the legality of circumcision on the basis of Germany's Basic Law? In this essay, Patrick Bahners takes a closer look at both the Basic Law and the ruling and concludes that the judges in Cologne must have made a serious error of judgement
Anyone who toils over his tax returns, painstakingly adding up write-offs and tax-free contributions, and finally comes to the conclusion that he can expect to receive a refund the size of the federal budget will instantly realise that the result cannot possibly be correct. Such obviously absurd conclusions also occur in the field of practical reason.
A ruling by a German regional court, which, if observed, would mean that all Jews would have to leave the country, cannot possibly be correct. Our human faculties of reason, better known as common sense, tell us so. This also explains the prompt and unequivocal reactions of leading politicians to the Cologne circumcision ruling. Their intuition is intact, which is certainly a relief.

Interview with Kenan Kolat": We Need an Open Debate about Institutional Racism"
The failure of Germany's domestic intelligence agency to halt the activities of a neo-Nazi terror cell and recent revelations about the destruction of key files have led to accusations of institutional racism. Kenan Kolat, the head of the Türkische Gemeinde in Deutschland (the Turkish Community in Germany), an advocacy group representing the interests of Turkish people in Germany, says faith in the country's security organs has hit rock bottom. Samira Sammer spoke to him.

Chancellor Merkel and the Debate on integration
Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) has publicly expressed support for the view that Islam is integral part of German society. Doing so, she openly disagreed with opinions voiced in the last months by the Minister of Interior Hans-Peter Friedrich (CSU) and the head of political Union parties CDU/CSU in the parliament, Volker Kauder (CDU). In front of the pupils of a Berlin school, chancellor Merkel talked about the significant presence of Muslims in German society and their belonging to it. Muslims are part of today's environment, and many of them are German citizens, Merkel declared. Thus, Islam becomes a part of society, too. Many things known today in Germany have been transported through Islam.
This is the first time after the pro Islam speech of former German president Christian Wulff (CDU) in 2010, that chancellor Merkel speaks in favor of Islam as an integral part of Germany. Minister of Interior Friedrich had repeatedly disagreed with recognizing Islam as a part of Germany, emphasizing the Christian-Jewish occidental culture of Germany.

Bayer CropScience launches new improved weed and pest app
A new mobile app that combines weed and pest identification with treatment information has been launched by Bayer CropScience.
The app replaces the three individual WeedSpotter, PestSpotter and Bayer Product Manual apps launched by the firm nearly three years ago, which have proved extremely popular with users.
These allowed users to identify nearly 100 weeds and 70 pests of arable crops, or check for the latest label information about any Bayer CropScience product.
"We've taken the best elements from those three apps and combined them into a single app and made it even easier to use," explains Rachael Roberts, Bayer CropScience's digital coordinator.
The new design features many new images especially taken to aid identification of weeds and pests. All of these high quality images can now be enlarged to focus on key features, while it is now easier to use the identification tools.
"Weve simplified the filter system for identifying weeds, making it easier to use, and added more close-up pictures to help with identifying key characteristics."
Another new feature is the ability to register for automatic updates for any information that has changed on a Bayer product, says Mrs Roberts.
"The app will always feature the latest label information but you can also sign up for automatic notifications for any changes to any or all products of interest, either through a push notification from the app, or via email.
As with the previous apps, the Bayer Agronomy Tool app is free, and can be downloaded from the App Store for iOS devices now, while an Android version is in development.
The previous apps have been withdrawn from the Apple store and should be deleted, as they will no longer be kept up to date with the latest information, Mrs Roberts adds.
For more information about the new app go to: www.bayercropscience.co.uk/app

Q: LuaLaTeX full font embedding + eforms package i tried fully embedding a font using directives from How can I verify that the fonts are all embedded in my LuaLatex document? [1], using font BlackChancery from https://www.1001fonts.com/blackchancery-font.html [2]. The embedding seems to work (Adobe Reader says the font is embedded not (subsetted as usual), but i can't seem to make it work inside eforms.
[1] also said that i needed to reload my fonts, i tried even uninstalling the font and it dind't work (I'm on Windows if it helps). Can someone help me?
Here's my MWE:
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{luacode}
\begin{luacode}
local function embedfull(tfmdata)
    tfmdata.embedding = "full"
end

luatexbase.add_to_callback("luaotfload.patch_font", embedfull, "embedfull")
\end{luacode}

\begin{document}
\centering
\textField[\Q{1}\textFont{Black Chancery}\textSize{15}\V{This text wants to be in chosen font}]{MyText}{100mm}{15mm}

\end{document}

A: There shouldn't be a space in the font name. This here works for me. It doesn't require to embed the font but it requires that the font is installed as system font, and it also depends on the pdf viewer -- I tested with adobe reader on windows.
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\end{document}

If the font is not available as system font you must embed it as you did in your code, but then you must also add it to the /DR dictionary and also you must use the internal name.
I don't know if you can add a font with eforms. With the new pdfmanagement and l3pdffield it works like this:
\RequirePackage{pdfmanagement-testphase}

I had a great time last week photographing JR & Akikos cool 1920s prohibition inspired wedding celebration at the Back Room Bar in NYC. The back room is a speakeasy prohibition bar from the 1920s and was a really fun and beautiful location to celebrate the love between JR and Akiko.
Meeting in college and dating for the past five years, the couple got officially married last year at a dawn ceremony with just the two of them in Times Square. After a year they were ready to throw a celebration and include all their friends, family, and favorite things.
I met the couple around the corner from The Back Room at the Rivington Hotel where the couple got ready together, complete with JR tying up Akikos converse sneakers for her. After everyone was ready to go we headed over to the bar where 70 of their closest friends and family joined them for a intimate candle ceremony led by JR's uncle and an evening of celebration. The evening included a traditional Japanese wedding raffle from Akikos parents and live jazz music all evening by Akikos favorite NYC band the Lucky Chops. The night ended with more dancing and a beautiful Japanese inspired cake. It was the most unique wedding cake I have yet to see!

Q: where is the Source code of adadelta in Tensorflow? recently I have some confusion about adadelta in TensorFlow,I want to modify it rules of learning-rate ,but i not know how to do it.
i think i have to modify the source code :
because the rules is encapsulated in train.AdadeltaOpertimizer,and the class not
return learning-rate,it only has a initially learning-rate:
def init(self, learning_rate=0.001, rho=0.95, epsilon=1e-8,
               use_locking=False, name="Adadelta"):
where is the source code of adadelta in Tensorflow?

A: I have not understood what exactly you want to modify, so I will just show how to find the source code for everything.
Each function in TF has information about the source-code of this function in the documentation. It points you to the python file.
For example AdaDelta optimizer has this in the docs:

Defined in tensorflow/python/training/adadelta.py.

Orange County COVID-19 Hospitalizations Jump by Nearly 100 Overnight, Continue to Set Records
ByKelley Wheeler
Orange County added nearly 100 more COVID-19 patients to its already stressed hospital system with 10 more in intensive care as it continued its record-setting pace Tuesday.
Hospitalizations increased from 1,709 on Monday to 1,806 on Tuesday, including those in intensive care rising from 380 to 390.
The death toll increased by two to a total of 1,779 since the pandemic began. One of the fatalities was an assisted living facility resident.
The county reported 80 coronavirus-related deaths last week, up from 62 the week before and 41 and 26, respectively, in the two previous weeks. Since Sunday, the county has reported 19 deaths.
There were 2,233 new cases of the coronavirus diagnosed, raising the total to 130,414.

Former Huntington Beach Investigator Charged With Stealing and Using Drugs From Crime Scene
The county's ICU bed availability remains zero in the "adjusted" metric, but dropped from 10.2% Monday in the unadjusted category to 7.5%. The state created the adjusted metric to reflect the difference in beds available for COVID-19 patients and non-coronavirus patients.
Just because a county's adjusted ICU rate may be zero, it does not mean there are no beds available, Orange County CEO Frank Kim said. The difference in the rates reflects what is historically expected from non-coronavirus emergencies, he said.
County officials are encouraging anyone with a medical emergency to not refrain from dialing 911.
It was welcome news to receive a relatively lower number of coronavirus cases on Tuesday, but the hospitals continue to fill up, Kim said.
"The concern it's not slowing down and we haven't hit the peak yet," Kim said. "And health officers in other counties when they talk about Christmas they're scared about further acceleration because the current surge hasn't ended."
Although hospital officials may be preparing for the possibility of rationing care, "I'm not aware of any definitive decision made at any individual hospital," Kim said.
"Rationing health care is a really complex decision each hospital has to make based on staffing levels or capacity and it's not something a county would order," Kim said.
The county has three mobile field hospitals up now with 50 beds at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange, 25 at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and 25 at Los Alamitos Medical Center.
An earlier report of a mobile field hospital being provided to St. Joseph's Hospital in Orange was inaccurate, but the hospital has indicated the possibility it may need some soon.
The county has four more mobile field hospitals left that have 25 beds apiece, Kim said.
County officials are expecting the first doses of vaccines from Moderna on Wednesday, Kim said.
At the Fairview Developmental Center in Costa Mesa 21 patients with milder symptoms are being treated.
The county is doing OK on supplies of personal protective equipment, Kim said.
The state "is doing a very good job with PPE," Kim said. "When we make a request it arrives with a matter of days… the PPE is flowing."
The county has also seen a rise in the take-home testing kits for coronavirus, Kim said. Last week, 17,000 kits were requested, compared with 19,000 showing up in person at the county's super sites.
"So we're almost replicating the supersites in terms of volume with the take-home kits, so it's been an outstanding success," Kim said.
A moratorium on diverting patients from one hospital to another initiated last week was extended again on Friday. Kim said it is being monitored daily to see if it can be lifted.
The county has 45% of its ventilators available.
Meanwhile, the outbreak in the county's jails continues to widen, with 908 infections currently, up from 834 on Monday. The county is awaiting the results of 293 tests.
On Friday, the first jailed inmate in Orange County with COVID-19 died of complications from the virus.
Outbreaks in the county's nursing homes continue to rise, with 42 skilled nursing facilities and 40 elderly assisted living facilities reporting two or more positive cases within the last two weeks.
The county recorded 29,144 tests on Tuesday, for a total of 1,885,047. The county is testing 606.1 per 100,000 on a seven-day average with a seven-day lag, up from 526.8 last week.
All of the county's metrics now fall within the state's most-restrictive, purple tier of the state's four-tier coronavirus monitoring system.
Orange County's adjusted daily case rate per 100,000 rose Tuesday to 51.8, up from 42.7 last week. The positivity rate increased from 13.2% to 15.2%.
The county's Health Equity Quartile Positivity Rate, which measures the cases in highly affected, needier parts of the county, rose from 18.8% last week to 22.7%.

Dependence on alcohol can cause one to be in a bad state. This can lead to posing more problems for everyone. A person may feel rejected by other members of the family and cause more stress for the whole family.
To be able to help one with alcohol dependence, you should take your time to learn everything that you can about alcohol. Get more information about the appropriate rehab that can help your loved one to come out of the addiction.
A crucial source of information is the Internet where you can find a lot of information the possible treatments but keep in mind that you need to assure the addict that you have unconditional love for them and full support in his/her treatment. So do not blame the addict for the situation but rather the substance he/she is abusing. That will boost the addict's trust in you and will improve the chance for treatment.
You will need to have more understanding of the addict since you will face difficult situations with him/her but never feel too sorry for them when they are in trouble. Be ready for "alcoholic calls" and arm yourself with the patience since it can make your relationship and trust stronger. After these calls, be always there for an addict if you want to make sure they stay on the right track. No one can wake up next morning and forget about drinking just like that. You need to make sure them that you understand them and their problem. Only in this way your willingness to help them will get to their minds and trigger them to face the problem and try to stay persistent.
After you build trust, try convincing them to visit the rehab center. For a start, a simple visit will be a big achievement. Then talk with your addict about the facility and treatments they have to offer. It is very likely that they will be reluctant in the beginning but be patient. Try visiting the different facilities to give the feeling that they have a choice; they just need to make a decision. It is a more of a psychological game sometimes, but it is like that when you are dealing with the substance abuse. Patience is the key to success – just make sure you encourage them enough to decide to start a new life.


The Taiwan call might be just the beginning.
Donald Trump blindsided the world when he took a call from Taiwan's president last weekend. It almost certainly won't be his last bolt from the blue. Particularly for foreign policy matters, the U.S. president has tremendous power to uphold or overthrow traditions—such as the one where you don't speak directly to the president of Taiwan. Given Trump's willingness to shoot from the hip, and his, let's say, "eclectic" circle of advisers, it's worth thinking through other traditions susceptible to sudden changes. Some we already know about: U.S. security commitments abroad, involvement in NAFTA or the WTO, relations with Pakistan, nuclear proliferation. The question is: What aren't we thinking about? Here are five foreign-policy traditions that could—not necessarily will—be upturned by President Trump.
5. UN visas. Every year, world leaders descend on New York for the United Nations—even the leaders America doesn't like (See: Castro, Fidel). And every now and then, the U.S. goes through a dance with a dictator it would rather not have in New York. Last year, it was Sudan's Omar al-Bashir, who is wanted for war crimes. Strictly speaking, it would be a violation of the UN Treaty for the U.S. to deny him a visit to the UN, but American officials nonetheless made the process so difficult that he eventually gave up. Now imagine Trump doing this on a larger scale, perhaps declaring someone like Xi Jinping persona non grata due to a trade dispute. Would it be illegal? Yep. But that wouldn't necessarily stop him from making the UN process very difficult.
4. Bosnia. As Taiwangate shows, the U.S. president has tremendous power to legitimize leaders and territories unilaterally. Trump could easily make similar interventions elsewhere. One particularly destabilizing option might be to alter the status quo in Bosnia, where postwar tensions have never really fully diminished, despite U.S. and European efforts. The leader of the ethnically Serbian enclave of Republika Srpksa has been pushing for an independence referendum, an initiative that might appeal to pro-Brexit Trump. The president-elect could swiftly alter the balance of power simply by engaging directly with Republika's Srpska's leader, Milorad Dodik, who is closely allied with Russia's Vladimir Putin. Just picking up the phone would instantly elevate Dodik's status and give a win to Moscow.
3. Armenian Genocide. American presidents have refused to utter the G-word in relation to the massacre of Armenians in Turkey in 1915. As a senator, Barack Obama criticized the Bush administration for forcing out its own ambassador to Armenia, who departed from policy and named the genocide. But as president, Obama kept up with tradition and did not use the word. Presumably, the rationale has been maintaining good relations with Turkey, which denies a genocide occurred. For now, Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan are getting along. But should that change, it would be easy to see Trump dropping the word "genocide" into a tweet.
2. Transnistria. Where else could Trump use the presidential power to recognize states? One option might be the tiny European breakaway region of Transnistria, which has been de facto separated from Moldova for decades. It is barely a state, legally speaking. Russia doesn't even recognize it, despite stationing troops there. But Moscow still finds it useful. After all, having troops on either side of Ukraine is a great way to make Kiev feel nervous, not to mention the rest of Europe. If Trump wanted to plot a foreign-policy rapprochement with Russia, opting to bring Transnistria into the fold would be easy. European allies would complain, but Americans would barely notice.
1. Antarctica. For decades, the laws and norms covering Antarctica have kept it reserved it for peaceful scientific research. Mining and other types of resource exploitation are banned. The U.S. is a major proponent of this attitude—John Kerry just became the first secretary of state to visit the continent—but Russia and China, which maintain significant bases there, would like to revise the status quo. The Antarctic Treaty System will be in place for decades still, but the treaty has no independent enforcement and functions more as a "gentleman's agreement" than a binding set of laws. For Trump, a leader who wants to seize other states' oil and sees climate change as a Chinese hoax, it is very easy to envision a policy shift that radically alters the future of the continent.

It's Not All About Sports: Spring Break the Nathan Easington Way
Shirley Carswell
By Brittany Webb, Sports Editor
Posted 11:20 AM EST, Mon., March 27, 2017
Throughout the year, Nathan Easington dedicates some of his time to the sports section of The Hilltop. As a contributing writer, Easington faithfully submits at least one article per week that pertains to athletics at Howard, in the community and nationwide.
During Spring Break, Easington took some time away from sports, but he didn't stray far from Howard's dedication to truth and service.
Easington, accompanied by his friends, traveled to St. Croix in the United States Virgin Island. While most students traveled for personal enjoyment, the group traveled to serve the community.
"We went to do community service in the name of Asa O'neal who was a student at Howard and lived in Drew Hall before," Easington said. "He passed away."
O'Neal passed away in November of last year after becoming ill. While in high school, O'neal was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, an autoimmune disorder. He was a native of St. Croix.
While on the island, the group of Howard students spent several days clearing a path for a nature preserve and planting a garden at the island's single hospital for mother who have lost their children.
"While we were there we were featured on the front page of both the local St. Croix newspaper and the newspaper for the Virgin Islands," Easington said. "We also spoke on a local radio show and at the University of the Virgin Islands."
In truth and service. #DoItForAsa

Insights and analysis into the gender-specific implications of infrastructure policies, national environmental policies and global environmental agreements.
Environmentalism's Gender Problem
As the Trump administration moves in multiple ways to remake U.S. environmental policy, the Gender Policy Report's Debra Fitzpatrick talked with Jennifer Bernstein about her recent piece "On Mother Earth and Earth Mothers: Why Environmentalism Has a Gender Problem" that sparked an important conversation about feminism and environmentalism.

Why Transit Policy Should Consider Riders' Gender
Federal infrastructure spending is generally popular across the political spectrum – but with research-informed policy-making, that infrastructure spending could be more effective in achieving multiple policy objectives, including greater gender equity. A large part of President Trump's $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan is slated for improvements to our transportation system. With significant public and private partnerships envisioned, policy choices at all levels of government and within private sector organizations are important for achieving a more gender equitable public transportation system.

Mobility and Flexibility Expand Working Mothers' Success
In the U.S., women have historically had less access to cars, but their traditional, gendered family roles have increased their share of household-related trips—think daycare pickup, grocery shopping, and the like. The mismatch between women's mobility constraints and burdens has, in turn, created significant restrictions in women's labor market choices. As a result, employed women's work commute trips were, for decades, shorter in both distance and time than those of employed men.

Bratislava, April 6 (TASR) – Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Gabriela Matecna (a Slovak National Party/SNS nominee) is initiating a meeting in Kosice next Thursday (April 12) with farmers who feel cheated with regards to the situation in the agricultural sector in eastern Slovakia, stated Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini (Smer-SD) at a press conference in Bratislava on Friday with the agriculture minister in attendance.
In addition to the farmers, the meeting will be attended by the heads of the Agriculture Payment Agency (PPA) and the Slovak Land Fund (SPF), Police Corps President Tibor Gaspar as well as by representatives of the Kosice police, Kosice Regional Prosecutor's Office and Kosice Regional Court.
"I want the session to be attended also by organisers of the farmers initiative who staged yesterday's [April 5] protest [in Kosice], and I want to give them the opportunity to talk to all the relevant authorities in this regard," said the premier, adding that the participants of the meeting will try to find out what went wrong in the agriculture sector and where exactly.
"If we find the mistakes, we are, along with Minister Matecna, ready to adopt measures at the government level that will eliminate failures and problems at all levels for good, if there are any in the system," said Pellegrini, adding that this concerns not only the agriculture sector.
The premier further said that he respects the opinion of the farmers expressed in a written letter sent to the premier and that he's ready to meet all of them at the Government Office in Bratislava after the aforementioned meeting in Kosice.
Pellegrini expressed his willingness to listen to the farmers' ideas and proposals about how to improve the system in the agriculture sector.
Journalist Andrej Ban of Dennik N daily in an article pointed to frauds in farm subsidies in which Smer-SD's former district chief Lubica Roskova was allegedly involved. Roskova's firm Agro Porubka has reportedly received farm subsidies for plots of land it neither owns, nor cultivates. The firm allegedly obtained €40,000 from EU funds for 2017.

Војна хунта је један од облика ауторитарне власти. На власт долази недемократски, обично насилним пучевима.

Појава војних хунти је била честа у Латинској Америци током 20. века. Реч хунта () долази из шпанског језика, и значи одбор, обично управни одбор.Настао је у националној и локалној хунти коју је организовао шпански отпор Напоелоновој инвазији на Шпанију 1808. године.

Данас се термин користи за опис аутократских власти којекарактеришу олигархијска војна диктатура, за разлику од других облика овакве власти - власти појединца или једнопартијског, недемократског владања.

Понекад од хунте настаје војна диктатура, али ови изрази нису синоними.

Познати примери владавине војне хунте

Од 1920. војне хунте су биле чест пример владавине у Латинској Америци у облику "институционализоване, високо професионалне хунте" на чијем челу су били војни команданти, уз подршку шефова полиције или других кључних тела.
У свету је и данас присутна хунта као власт у појединим земљама Африке попут Буркине Фасо, Чада, Гвинеје или Судана.
На европском тлу, по владању хунте познате су Грчка(1967-1974), Пољска (1981 - 1983),Португал (1926-1933 и 1974-1975), те Турска у којој је такође у два наврата (1960-1961 и 1980-1983) власт успостављана на овај начин.
Аугусто Пиноче је предводио војну хунту која је извршила државни удар у Чилеу 1973. године и збацила социјалистичког председника Салвадора Аљендеа и увела војну диктатуру.

12. августа 1981. генерал Леополдо Галтијери је постао председник Аргентине у војном удару. Нова владајућа војна хунта је започела планове за окупацију Фолкландских Острва у намери да скрене пажњу јавности са тешке економске ситуације и тако је избио Фолкландски рат.

У Грчкој је на власти била војна хунта од 1967. до 1974. године, у њеној свргавању имале су утицаја демонстрације 17. новембра 1973. и група Седамнаести новембар.

Tokkuri Miso [bean paste in a sake bottle] - This was a self-mocking term used by so-called hostile Japanese Americans incarcerated in the camp during the war. Its true meaning was that you could stuff miso all the way into a large Tokkuri, similar to a gallon size bottle of Takara Masamune fine sake, and shake the bottle upside down. Although a trace of miso may drop, most of the miso will stay firmly inside the bottle. This was the word internees used to describe themselves in a self-pitying fashion about their sad plight; enclosed by barbed wire ["tetsujomo"], unable to escape from the detention camp to the world outside, not even able to take one step out.
Depending on how we viewed it, our internee life would have been a paradise in the physical sense. If we could ignore our mental anguish, we could eat without working, live sluggishly in idleness. On the contrary, Japanese people in the outside world were looked coldly upon as "enemy aliens" or "Jap" under the constant dread of being incarcerated at any moment.
This will become our paradise.
In our camp life, everybody experienced mental anguish, worrying about this and that, which caused our hair to grow, it seemed. On the other hand, we did not do much work all day, lived in idleness without experiencing much physical hardship, and it seemed our nails grew quickly.
Honouliuli internment camp was a requisitioned sugar plantation, located at the bottom of a valley. It did not rain much nor did it get much in the way of breezes. We were afflicted with a scorching, intense heat throughout the year. Under this boiling heat, internees were naked all the time, wearing only short pants. We seldom wore shirts. The army gave us long-legged khaki pants, and we cut them to make short pants. Our footwear was geta [Japanese wooden clogs], which we made from scrap pieces of 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 board, making a scene by walking with a loud clatter wherever we went.
It is often said that someone had a "naked friendship" with his friend. Well, our internees lived under the same roof, became bosom friends, sharing our feelings, and wearing only short pants all the time. We literally had a naked friendship in our daily life. He might have been a "big shot" (a man of position and means) in the Japanese community or a "small potato" (a man of modest means) in the outside world. Once he became an internee with no privileges, he must submit himself to a collective life, restraining his own ego for the sake of impartiality, irrespective of his age and social rank….
At the camp, our entire movements, from getting up in the morning to going to bed, were dictated by the sound of a bugle in the military fashion: getting up by bugle at six o'clock, going bed by bugle around nine o'clock. What I hated most was roll call in the morning and evening. We assembled at the sound of the bugle, and one hundred and several tens of internees lined up in two rows to attend roll call. When the guard in charge was dumb, the numbers never matched no matter how many times we were counted. Any failure called for another roll, while we were kept standing under the scorching sun.
After a successful roll call, shabby looking not so young internees, dressed in short pants and wearing geta, lined up in two rows in front of the gate like kindergarten children, clattering aluminum cups. As soon as we saw a ready signal for a meal at mess hall, we ran there, crossing over the bridge. If wives and children of the internees saw, they surely would have been bitterly disillusioned.
Our daily life in the camp was monotonous and empty; eat and sleep, eat and sleep….
…It was rumored that the authority, without telling us, added tranquilizer powder to our coffee, lemon water, and soup, which we consumed daily….
According to the authorities, when hundreds of hot-blooded men were confined in one place, they would eventually become excited and mentally deranged, acting violently, becoming prone to causing unfortunate accidents leading to bloodshed or suicides. It seemed that they wanted to quiet our sexual urges by giving us sedative drugs.
There were many music lovers among the internees, and quite a few of them were blessed with superior talent as singers or players. Music really consoled my fellows and me during those prosaic days. However, it was very difficult to obtain the necessary music instruments.
One day, we heard strange music sounds from the next barrack. They told us it was a handmade guitar constructed from an empty boiled ham can. An Armour brand boiled ham, which was shaped like a large rice ball, was taken out of the can, and they devised a way to use the empty can, attaching a rod, and strung wires on it. The resulting instrument was a type of hybrid ukulele, guitar, and Ryukyu [Okinawa] Jabisen [Okinawan 3-stringed guitar], making a strange tone that made the listeners homesick.
The internees were divided into two groups, and each was allowed to have one visiting day per month to see their families or friends. Internees mailed a visitor pass as provided by the office to families or friends of their choice.
Visitors with the passes waited for a chartered bus going to the camp at a designated time and location. Most of the time, it was Sunday afternoon. Some internees intentionally avoided seeing their families lest increasing a lingering attachment. Some, even though they missed their families and friends, suppressed their desire to see them, for they were afraid visitors might be arrested one after another upon their visits. Some [families] could not come, for they had a hard time in making ends meet while their breadwinners were detained in the camp. There were many different cases.
Patting child on the head, with tearful eyes.
This was exactly the scene that happened in the camp. Those children who did not understand the meaning of detention, after their joyful meeting, implored their fathers, "Father, let's go home together." It was a very sad sight that brought tears to our eyes for those of us watching, and we all felt sympathy for them.
For what reason, those who had committed no crime had to endure such treatment, having father separated from mother. I had deep sympathy and burned with righteous indignation about such unjust treatment.
"Nasake wa hito no tame narazu" [kindness is never lost, it brings its own reward] - We must reap what we have sown. There should be retribution to this kind of treatment, and I really harbor resentment against the authority that sanctioned this type of situation.
Quite a few families found it difficult to make a living when breadwinners of the family were incarcerated. Some of the families received aid from the Red Cross. At the same time, those breadwinner internees, upon applying at the office, were given paid jobs. Although the wages were not that much, some of them sent their earnings home. Paid jobs such as carpenter, barber, tailor, medical doctor, and chef earned 10 cents per hour, for a maximum limit of 16 dollars per month. Adding allowances from the military government, ten cents every ten days, three dollars per month, some internees sent that money to their families in the outside world.
Internees were very kind to those poor families, getting together to lend a helping hand in various ways.
Is America land of the free?
Mr. Bolo Shirakata worried about the health condition of his sick father [who was incarcerated as an enemy alien]. Hoping for the release of his father, he volunteered for the Japanese Volunteer Corps at the time of its formation. He came to see his father in the camp, bidding him farewell just before he was sent to the US mainland to receive basic training.
It was not certain if they would be able to see each other again. The meeting of father and son moved those of us who were fully aware of the situation to tears of indignation and sympathy….
After receiving hard training on the US mainland for a year, Mr. Bolo Shirakata, as a member of the 442nd Japanese American Combat Team, went to fight in Italy and France. When the war was over, he returned to Hawai'i in triumph, but his father was gone: the built-up anxiety and illness shortened his life; otherwise, he would have lived longer.
The longer I watch, the more I feel depressed.
Now, I am very alone watching.
Why, why am I detained.
Shedding a teardrop in spite of myself.
We shall endure our life on the island.
Where are they watching this blue moon?
Sea breeze at our farewell, pierced with grief.
Telling its farewell to the waves.
Will it be in spring?
Will it be in winter?
Whom shall I send to?
Lingering moon on top of a cloudy peak.
Our mind is one as moon is one.
However, do not weep, you are a man.
While those who lost their family members in the attack on Pearl Harbor were shouting, "Remember Pearl Harbor!", I wanted to shout, "Remember Honouliuli!" Honouliuli camp has been a monument in my mind, filled with memories of joy and sorrow, pain and comfort, which I wanted to forget but was unable to forget. Only very few people know about the existence of the camp in Honolulu.
Note: Page number references refer to the page number in the spiral-bound manuscript with the English translation of the original Japanese text.


Amaya walked trough the mansion, she read scrolls, learning everything on them. Hmmm...this one isn`t iteresting at all. Amaya walked into a room she sat there and prayed for her step-brother. After praying she took an photo-album and looked at pictures of David. Ah, my brother, I just hope you`re still alive. When I become genin, I`ll do anything to find you, just you wait. Amaya put the photo-album back and walked out of the room and the Uchiha mansion.
Location : I`m wherever people think of me.
/m went out of the mansion, with a big smile.
Amaya just walked into the room when the explosion got off, she hit the wall behind her and fainted.
Amaya woke up to see everything in fire. Oh no! The scrolls, they`ve all gone! Amaya ran out of the mansion, to get help.
Amaya got into the mansion, she was very angry... Amaya lost control over herself and started realising too much chakra...the chakra was in a blood red color, it was sstrong that it enxtigushed the flames and the smoke stopped... The mansion was very burned and empty... Amaya got her self-control back and stopped realising chakra. W-what happend??? Amaya turned around and saw every shelf empty... Amaya saw a trace of flames going to the shelf with the photo-albums, they wereburned into ashes... NO! The pictures!!! Amaya ran out of the mansion, heading for the Academy.
Josipa rushed trough the village and entered the Uchiha Clans Mansion, she looked around. WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! WHERE ARE ALL THE SCROLLS?! Josipa sat in a shadowy area near a wall and put the ring on her finger. Mum, dad? Yes? I`m in the Uchiha Clans Mansion, there are no scrolls, it seems like it was burned, everything. Oh, then, there is another place where you can search for... Stop! Don`t talk to her about that place. What place?! Oh, no place, nevermind. There is still another place, search for a place in the Desert, it`s hidden in the ground, but can be opened by only our clan. Be careful! Josipa took of the ring and put it in her bag. So, now I must go back again. Josipa exits the Uchiha Clans Mansion!
"a man in a mask appears infront of josipa"
"i pull out the Samehada"
Now are you ready to die?
"i said with no emotion on my face"
"i see as josipa runs off sigh"
Why do they always leave i hate pricks...well i guess i'll headout next time josipa we meet you will fall down by my blade.
"i place my sword back on my back and head out"
Amaya walks in and takes a piece of paper. She sits on a damaged chair and starts writing some stuff that she remembers from the stolen and burned scrolls.

WA RACING UPDATE – 11 MAY 2020
Home / News / WA RACING UPDATE – 11 MAY 2020
Yesterday the McGowan Government released a roadmap involving four phases to carefully ease COVID-19 restrictions, to start getting Western Australians back to work safely and begin the process of re-starting the State's economy.
Western Australia is currently already in Phase 1, with Phase 2 of the plan set to commence from the 18 May 2020, with the following outcomes relevant to the State's racing industry.
Non-work Gatherings
With indoor and outdoor non-work gatherings lifted to only 20 people, racetracks will continue to be restricted to essential persons only.
Please note that all current bio-security measures implemented at racetracks will remain in place and must be adhered to at all times. Failure to do so will result in the matter being referred to the Stewards.
For further details regarding bio-security measures please click here.
On-Course Hospitality
The McGowan Government have advised that cafés and restaurants can reopen with meal service, limited to 20 patrons and the four square metre rule applied. RWWA will work with race clubs to determine what on-course hospitality offerings can be made available for essential persons attending racetracks.
Intrastate Travel
As part of Phase 2, the McGowan Government have advised that regional travel restrictions will also change, bringing the number of current borders within Western Australia from 13 to only four (not including the Commonwealth Biosecurity zone and remote communities). The new regional boundaries will allow:
travel between the South-West, Great Southern, Wheatbelt, Perth and Peel regions;
travel between the Mid-West, Gascoyne and Pilbara regions (excluding Biosecurity zone);
travel within the Goldfields-Esperance region (excluding the Biosecurity zone);
travel permitted within the Kimberley local government areas (the Commonwealth's Biosecurity zone remains in place).
The expansion of the Perth/Peel region to now include the South-West, Great Southern and Wheatbelt will allow for the movement of horses more freely within these regions, particularly with the upcoming breeding season.
Thoroughbred race meetings at Geraldton, Carnarvon and Kalgoorlie will continue to be restricted to only horses located within the above respective regions. With the Albany season finishing on the 15 May, there will be no impact on nominations within the Great Southern.
The McGowan Government have advised that Phase 3 will be finalised in the coming weeks, based on the advice from the Chief Health Officer and will take into account the infection rates across Western Australia. It is expected Phase 3 will be implemented around four weeks from the commencement of Phase 2.
