Q: Kernel panic after 30 min or so in 18.04 LTS After using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on this PC for about half an hour, it suddenly locks up and stops responding. I try Ctrl-Alt-F3 and login, but any command entered hangs, eventually showing an error task blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Just ran a memory test and everything came back fine but IDK I'm still convinced it might be a hardware issue just because of all the other problems I have. Such as the computer sometimes boot to a black screen no bios logo or anything or the several other questions I have posted here in ask ubuntu such as an issue where the computer would randomly fail to load my profile getting stuck in a black screen askubuntu gnome-black screen or me having issues with symlinking my user folders like Documents to my SSHD and then getting high CPU usage and freezes ask ubuntu issue with symlinks I don't know how helpful the output I posted of my system specs would be as it got cut off but I do know my specs from memory as I built this computer.

Ken Tanigawa Wins KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship

Ken Tanigawa shot an even-par 70 on Sunday at Oak Hill Country Club to secure his first major title at the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship.
Playing in the penultimate group with former UCLA teammate Scott McCarron, Tanigawa entered the round with a three-shot deficit to defending champion Paul Broadhurst – which is how it remained through 13 holes in upstate New York.
It all changed, however, during a three-hole (Nos. 14-16) stretch where Tanigawa went birdie-birdie-bogey (-1) to Broadhurst's par-par-double-bogey (+2). With the three-shot swing, the unheralded Tanigawa suddenly held a one-shot lead on both Broadhurst and McCarron.
A wayward tee shot on 18 by Tanigawa found a fairway bunker, which forced a lay up to 123 yards out. But the Japanese American played a beautiful wedge to 10 feet of the pin, and then made the clutch par putt to finish 3-under par, one stroke better than McCarron, who missed a birdie from 20 feet to force a playoff.
"I wasn't as calm as I looked. You know, it helps when they're kind of cheering for you a little bit and you smile and it kind of helps to put you at ease a little bit, which I was doing everything I could to try to do that," said Tanigawa.
"So, you know, I was somewhat calm but not calm, if that makes sense. And then you've just got to refocus and reset and really pay attention to what you have to do and just try to hit a solid putt.
"I was just assuming I had to make it regardless for the win or the tie. Because I just thought, I was under the thought, my process was Scott was going to make it."
Broadhurst (75) made bogey on the the final hole to drop to third-place on 1-under par, one ahead of Retief Goosen who produced a Sunday 74 en route to even-par 280.
Jerry Kelly rounded out the top-5 finishers at 1-over par following a final-day 69.

"There's no doubt about it. Really hasn't sunk in yet I don't think, what just happened. But it's unbelievable. It's hard to really describe into words.
"To say it's a dream come true may be an understatement to a big level. And to win at Oak Hill on such a storied venue just makes it that much more special, because you know all the great players have hit that tee shot off of 1, and then to just be able to play here and compete and to pull off a victory of this magnitude is unbelievable. It's unreal."

These front covers from the Sun and Daily Mail have been criticised by an EU official.
An EU official has hit out at the Sun and Daily Mail for their coverage of Brexit.
Jourová referenced the two newspapers, alongside examples of "growing anti-Muslim and anti-Roma rhetoric" in Europe, to call for a more responsible approach from the media.
The commissioner also referenced the Daily Mail's front cover from November 2016 in which it branded three judges "Enemies of the People" for their judgement about the UK constitution.
A spokesperson for Jourova denied her comments were about stifling freedom of speech.

Q: Oracle SQL 'OVER' partition error I'm trying to use this code on Oracle and it errors out. The 'partition' statement is highlighted. How do I fix this ?
select
case when b.c_1 = 1 then b.workkey else null end workkey,
b.total_value total_value,
b.namekey namekey
from (select distinct workkey,total_value,namekey,
      rownum() over (partition by workkey) as c_1
      from report.arturdup
     ) b

A: The correct function is row_number():
select (case when b.c_1 = 1 then b.workkey end) as workkey,
       b.total_value as total_value,
       b.namekey as namekey
from (select distinct workkey, total_value, namekey,
             row_number() over (partition by workkey order by b.workkey) as c_1
      from report.arturdup
     ) b;

Note:  You don't need a subquery for this:
select (case when row_number() over (partition by workkey order by workkey) = 1
             then b.workkey
        end) as workkey,
       b.total_value,
       b.namekey
from report.arturdup;

Notes:

*

*In most databases, order by is required (in some it is not, but I always use order by.

*else NULL is redundant.

*You don't need to assign a column alias that is already the name of the column.

*I always use as for column aliases.

Q: history of logged users on the same tty Is there some file, which keeps track about terminal history and users who has been logged to that same terminal?
thanks

A: Yes. The file is called "wtmp" and the program which views it is "last". See khachik's comment.


"The original Aventador was presented four years ago, and the SuperVeloce pays homage to its passionate owners, as well as the fan community whose enthusiasm has resulted in the biggest commercial success ever of a Lamborghini V12 super sports car.
In the SuperVeloce, Lamborghini's expertise in lightweight engineering is clearly evident. With technological features which, combined with design, quality standards and craftsmanship, the SuperVeloce results in the most exclusive, pure and emotional production model in the history of our brand."
Power added with a 6.5-liter 60-degree V12 now spits out 740 hp (up from 691 hp) to go along with an unchanged 507 lb-ft of torque.
Power is fed through a seven-speed Independent Shift Rod single-clutch transmission, leading to a physics-bending 0-60 sprint of 2.8 seconds. Getting to 124 mph takes 8.6 seconds, and top speed is well in excess of 200 mph.

Der Untertan (Duits voor "de onderdaan") is een roman van de Duitse schrijver Heinrich Mann. Hij voltooide de roman in juli 1914, kort voor het uitbreken van de Eerste Wereldoorlog. De publicatie werd echter uitgesteld tot 1918. Na de oorlog genoot de roman een grote populariteit vanwege de kritiek op het ultra-nationalisme van het Duitse Keizerrijk.

De roman is in meerdere talen vertaald, waaronder het Nederlands.

Inhoud
De roman beschrijft het leven van Diederich Hessling, een inwoner van het Keizerrijk Duitsland. Hij is een groot en slaafs bewonderaar van Wilhelm II van Duitsland en is daarmee het stereotype van het nationalistische Duitse Keizerrijk. Hij is zeer loyaal aan de autoriteiten en doet alles voor het nationale doel van Duitsland.

Gedurende de roman worden Hesslings idealen vaak tegengesproken door zijn daden: hij spreekt bijvoorbeeld vaak over dat men dapper moet zijn maar is zelf een lafaard; hij is groot voorstander van het Duitse leger maar probeert koste wat het kost aan zijn dienstplicht te ontkomen; zijn grootste politieke tegenstanders zijn de revolutionaire sociaaldemocraten, maar desondanks helpt hij de SPD-kandidaat uit zijn thuisstad om naar de Rijksdag te gaan.

Mann gebruikt in de roman de tegenslagen die Hessling te verduren krijgt om de spot te drijven met het Duitse Keizerrijk.

Bewerkingen
 In Oost-Duitsland werd het boek in 1951 verfilmd, eveneens onder de titel Der Untertan. De film werd geregisseerd door Wolfgang Staudte. De hoofdrol wordt vertolkt door Werner Peters.
 De Westdeutscher Rundfunk maakte in 1971 een hoorspel van de roman.

Hacks are all about making your life easier with some nice tricks that everyone can do. There are life hacks and hacks for pretty much everything! And you can also have some nail hacks that will make painting and taking care of them so much easier by doing some surprisingly simple tricks. You'd be surprised how easy some of them are. And the verified Youtube channel cutepolish has uploaded a video showing 18 simple nail hacks to make your life way easier. So, shall we go right in?
1 – Want to push back your cuticles and you don't have any cuticle pusher? Don't worry! Just apply some nail oil around your nail and then carefully push your cuticles back using your finger. Nice!
2 – Out of base coat and you want to get creative? You can just use top coat as your base coat. It works just fine for most use cases.
3 – Tired of spending lots of money on polish? There's an online store called Hollar where you'll find lots of nail polishes for half the retail price. You should have a look.
4 – Have some stickers laying around? Just apply some polish over them to see how they look in real life. You can paste them on your polish bottle, as a little preview.
5 – Polishes are also perfectly mixable. You can mix some of them to get your completely unique color.
6 – Don't have many different polishes, or just plain colors? You can use eyeshadow as a highlight over a white base. It can create a really unique shade.
7 – Tired of shades looking thin while applying them? Just use a white base and let it dry, then apply your favorite shade.
8 – Want to get the perfect French tip? Just use polish remover to clean up excess polish.
9 – You can also conceal a bad French tip using some glitter. Fixes pretty much everything.
10 – Don't own a dotting tool? Don't worry, you can use many different household items as dotting tools.
11 – Need to clean up excess quickly? Just use a small brush to get the job done.
12 – Get a more professional look by simply applying some more polish over the edge of the tip.
13 – Don't have striping tape? Regular tape with nail polish will get it done quickly.
14 – Want to fix a big smudge? Just use a q-tip, dip it in nail polish remover and gently push the mistake back into place, then reapply your polish of choice.
15 – You can paint pretty much any design you want on a plastic bag and make it your own decal. Apply your design, then some clear coat, put it over your nail. Simple!
16 – Not nail-related, but you can actually remove smudges off your shoe using polish remover!
17 – If you love 3D nail decor, you can use pencils or crayons to push down rhinestones on your nails.
18 – Want healthy looking hands? Apply some lotion, rub it over your hands, then put on some plastic gloves. Let them soak before removing them.
Did any of these tricks help you?

UEFA to reveal details of RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg concessions
FC Salzburg, Leagues, RB Leipzig, Story, UEFA Champions League
RB Leipzig can play in the Champions League after changes at Salzburg.
UEFA will reveal more details of the concessions made by RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg to comply with rules that ban clubs owned by the same entity from playing in the same competition.
Having initially been told they would not both be able to play in the Champions League next season, the clubs met officials from UEFA's club financial control body (CFCB) last week to explain a series of changes made to Salzburg's ownership.
The finer points of these changes have not yet been made public, but Press Association Sport reports that that Red Bull billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz no longer owns the Austrian champions, several Red Bull employees who held management roles have left and Red Bull is now only a sponsor on reduced financial terms.
These moves were enough to satisfy UEFA that the clubs comply with its article five on the integrity of competitions, although answers to questions about who now owns Salzburg, how much they paid and what Red Bull's sponsorship is worth will have to wait until CFCB's "reasoned decision" is published either later this week or early next week.
Salzburg have not yet replied to Press Association Sport's attempts to answer those questions.
In a statement on Tuesday, UEFA said: "Following a thorough investigation, and further to several important governance and structural changes made by the clubs (regarding corporate matters, financing, personnel, sponsorship arrangements, etc), the CFCB deemed that no individual or legal entity had anymore a decisive influence over more than one club participating in a UEFA club competition."
Mateschitz bought SV Austria Salzburg in 2005 and renamed the club after his energy drink, having already made a similar move in Formula One.
A year later, he repeated the trick a year later with Major League Soccer club the MetroStars, rebranding them the New York Red Bulls.
The 73-year-old Austrian then founded clubs in Brazil and Germany — the latter occurring when he bought the playing rights of fifth division side SSV Markranstadt, a city near Leipzig, in 2009 with the aim of taking RB Leipzig to the Bundesliga within eight years.
They narrowly missed that target, achieving it in their ninth season, but were immediately successful in Germany's top flight, pipping Borussia Dortmund to second place behind Bayern Munich last season.
Salzburg, meanwhile, have dominated Austrian football under Red Bull's ownership, winning eight titles since 2005 and the last four in a row.
As champions they would have had priority over Leipzig, meaning the latter would have been prevented from playing in UEFA competitions without the changes at Salzburg.
The news has been well received in the German media, despite Leipzig's unpopularity with many fans because their corporate structure is out of step with the country's traditional ownership model of clubs controlled by their supporters.
Leipzig's chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff is widely quoted in the German press explaining that he has stood down as "head of global soccer" for Red Bull's clubs — a position formerly held by Gerard Houllier — in order to comply with UEFA's rules.

West Virgina will run Midterm elections through Blockchain. It is the solution that they have found for two problems. Firstly, a high number of electors live and work overseas and, secondly, the percentage of people who participate in the elections will be increased. The last one is the most worrying problem for American democracy and the solution to this problem has been found in the use of smartphones to place your vote.
But, is the blockchain a good and safe solution for elections? Is it that this disruptive technology born in the fourth industrial revolution a solution?
It's controversial. Expertssay that the solution to these problems have also introduced some new vulnerabilities and loopholes. However, there are other approaches to avoid fraud. The protection of devices against hacking is very hard. They say, that the Voatz system isn't based on a full blockchain. It's actually a mobile app with an attached blockchain.
Therefore, the problem is not that blockchain is not be a good solution but the model they have implanted isn't good enough. Is it true? The owner and creator of the technology, Voatz, affirm that their system uses biometric authentication to identify individual users before allowing them to mark an electronic ballot, and the votes are then recorded in a private blockchain. There are typical safeguards of the use of blockchain in order not to be hacked. Data are secured thanks to cryptography and every vote is linked to the previous one in order to maintain the chain.
What do we need in order to develop the online vote through blockchain? The possibilities are so many that we should think what we really need in order to have all required the security in an electoral process.
1. Firstly, it is necessary that the technological system has all the accreditations for guaranteeing the integrity, personality and reality of the vote. It's not different of what is required in a traditional vote. What people could discover in Bush v. Gore (2000) isn't so edifying about the integrity of the American political elections. What we actually discover in the last presidential elections is another symptom of the traditional system's weaknesses.
2.Secondly, a good system requires the accreditation of the voter and the device people are going to use for placing their vote. The first problem is common in both, the traditional system and a new blockchain system.
Many states in the USA didn't implement an ID card with picture. Is it reasonable in the world of 2018? Some people's resistance is not understandable when at the same time they have an American passport with the picture. In Europe there's no doubt about it.
Coming back to the introduction of the blockchain technology in elections, the issue with the device is simpler to fix. The solution is a double step identification as it is developed in the last generation's smartphone: fingerprint and/or Face ID. What could be the problem? Both are available now only in high class smartphones.
3. The third main point is to reach the anonymity of the vote. It's only feasible if there is a dissociation between the vote and the device… that means between the vote and the voter. That's an elementary requirement of any electoral process.
4. As a consequence of the three previous elements, blockchain technology allows something that the current electoral system is far away to provide: keeping voting ballotsforever. In Bush v. Gore we could see the difficulties to analyze every single vote. Some of them were destroyed even if people thought that there would be a judicial scrutiny of the process.
Furthermore, problems that appeared during the last presidential election (alterations in electronic voting) can be analyzed subsequently. That means that any voter can check the vote they placed and, more important, no one can change their electoral decision if blockchain technology is introduced in elections.
All of these four elements are in conditions to be applied right now. What is necessary is to be able to prove that the system runs appropriately. The two points that are more difficult (points one and two) are faster to get done than the current process to get the absentee vote: it takes no more than 48 hours. It's clear that it's a very good solution if we want to promote the vote.
But the problem is not the speed of the process. The main idea of this post is to highlight that it isn't reasonable to insist only on the problems of "disruptive" technology when the current electoral system is full of problems as well. Moreover, I consider that blockchain technology opens a window to improve the American electoral system. In other words, it's a risk but it is also an opportunity to promote the vote and to have safer elections. It can be the first step we need to take in order to have a more participative democracy with the possibility of holding a referendum on issues of special importance.

COLOMBO: The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) wants an international court to try cases of war crimes identified by the investigations conducted by the Office of the High Commissioner's Investigation for Human Rights on Sri Lanka (OISL) and not another international "investigation", senior TNA leader, Mavai Senathirajah, clarified on Monday.
Speaking to Express about the popular Tamil demand for an "international investigation", the Jaffna district MP said that the investigation conducted by the OISL following the March 2014 resolution of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), was an international investigation.
The report of the OISL is expected at the end of this month. The High Commissioner's office had conducted it under the supervision of distinguished persons.
"What is needed now is a judicial follow up, and this has to be an international court with the involvement of foreign judges, Senathirajah said.
However, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has already rejected an international court saying that Sri Lanka has not signed the Rome Statute accepting the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
But Senathirajah is confident that the UNHRC investigation's report will necessitate an international judicial process. "We will reply to Wickremesinghe after the OISL's report is out," he said.
The report is expected to be hard on Sri Lanka and the TNA believes that it can press its case for an international judicial process, arguing that the Tamils had never secured justice under the Lankan legal system. The Northern Provincial Council recently passed a resolution seeking an international judicial process on the same grounds.

African foreign ministers and African Union officials have gathered in Washington for a high level conference hosted by the US Department of State. On the agenda are issues around trade, security, governance and the US relationship with African countries. DW spoke to Donald Yamamoto, the acting Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs.
DW: How significant is Africa in the administration of President Donald Trump?
Donald Yamamoto: Right now this is our fifth kind of conference for the African Union. I've been in Africa for over 24 years and this is probably the most complex and in-depth coordinated issue meeting that I've been associated with. And the reason why, is because over the years the depth and breadth of our relationship with the African Union has really expanded. So with every successive administration, we're taking on more issues, more challenges, more coordination. And it's continuing now under Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. So this actually highlights the work we're doing in Mali and the G5 countries, Somalia, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo on elections and transition, the Kenyan elections, Liberia and also Zimbabwe.
Donald Yamamoto (l.) is the US Acting Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs.
Will we see any significant changes, shifts in the US-Africa strategy, and if so, which ones?
I think one of the changes - I wouldn't say changes, but emphases - is, Tom Shannon provided a speech on behalf of the US government about the four pillars: the economic development, security, trade and investment, education and security issues. But right now we are looking at Africa in the future in 2050, 2100 and you see a 2.2 billion to 2.4 billion population. You have 70 percent under 30 but then the question is: are we preparing our policies to work with not only the African Union, but our African partner countries to address unemployment issues? You know education, health care, and giving opportunities to the youth. Because that in itself is really an important critical issue. So how many jobs are we going to create every month to address that population in that area? And 25 percent of the world's labor force is going to be African. Just looking at the data points is really mind boggling. This is going to be the most populous continent and the largest consumer. And if that's the case then we need to be prepared to look at what the challenges are. How do we partner up with Africa?
President Trump has removed the US from several multilateral trade deals. What happens with fundamental programs like the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)?
AGOA continues until 2025. The issue is that AGOA is a transition and we've learnt that assistance by itself is not sustainable. The other issue is, that we can give to the most favored nations et cetera, but what's really going to be critical, is for each of these African states to break down non-tariff trade barriers. Because if you look at who their best trading partners are, it's Europe [and countries] outside the continent. Those relationships are critical. However, if you really want to talk about economic dynamism, then you need to trade with each other. So if these regional states are not trading with each other because of all these non-tariff trade barriers and obstacles, why don't you cut them down? We calculate that over the next decade, you can generate a hundred billion dollars in added new economic dynamism that's going to help to be the basis for economic development, great job creation and also economic vitality. And that's just by doing technical things like ending non-tariff trade barriers, fighting corruption, and also allowing entrepreneurs to develop and grow.
What about presidential aid initiatives like George W. Bush's PEPFAR or Obama's Power Africa initiative. Do we need to expect any cuts there?
I delivered an analysis on our budget for 2018 to the Congress and we are initiating cuts. But the proportion of assistance or investments in each area: healthcare remains at 81 percent, peace and security remains at 7 percent. And so it goes on down the line to education, democracy, good governance, Power Africa and the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) - proportionally those remain the same. But the amounts have decreased. But I'll give you an example: YALI is probably one of the great benefits that was implemented under the last administration and it continues. We have 500,000 youth groups across Africa that have been coordinated into groups and organizations to help support each other, address questions and issues. Every year we're taking about 700. But the number of applications was 84,000. That's amazing. I mean it's harder to make YALI than it is to go to some of the universities in America. And 'Power Africa' really is the hallmark and the centerpiece. Because without electrification, you're not going to be able to generate the economic progress that we need to propel Africa into the future. So, 'Power Africa' continues and we really need that to up our game and integrate and interrelate with a lot of private businesses and corporations. So that's going to continue.
Another big topic is military strategy. Since the attack on US troops in Niger last month, US military presence and intervention in Africa has stirred some controversy. There is more US military personnel in some countries than US development and aid workers. How can you justify that?
Our aid and assistance levels for Niger continue particularly in healthcare, and we're talking about education and development. So on the military side, in the State Department - and we're not talking about the Department of Defense - we have trained over 300,000 African troops for peacekeeping operations. 100,000 have served or continue to serve. 30,000 are in UN operations. And the US military helps support through "train and assist", and helps complement and supplement what the US State Department is doing. One more data point is that 63 percent of all UN operations are in Africa. 70 percent of the UN troops are Africans and we continue as a State Department to train and support. So this is not Afghanistan, this is not Iraq. And these are exactly the needs that the African states have asked us for.
Donald Yamamoto is the US Acting Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs. He spoke to DW on the sidelines of the Ministerial on Trade, Security and Governance in Africa meeting in Washington D.C.

E-Cigs Banned from Checked Bags on Flights
Posted by Ashley to News
Tossing an e-cigarette into your checked bag at the airport before you take flight is no longer legal.
A new federal rule, which is set to go into effect this November, does the following:
1. Prohibits passengers and crewmembers from carrying battery-powered portable electronic smoking devices (e.g. e-cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes, personal vaporizers, electronic nicotine delivery systems) in checked baggage.
2. Prohibits passengers and crew members from charging the devices and/or batteries on board the aircraft.
Passengers will still be able to carry e-cigs and related devices in carry-on bags that stay with them in the plane's cabin.
The U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued the latest ruling due to concerns about the devices sparking a fire on planes. The PHMSA develops and enforces regulations for "the safe, reliable and environmentally sound operation of the nation's 2.6 million mile pipeline transportation system and the nearly 1 million daily shipments of hazardous materials by land, sea, and air," according to their website.
"We know from recent incidents that e-cigarettes in checked bags can catch fire during transport," said Anthony Foxx, U.S. transportation secretary. "Fire hazards in flight are particularly dangerous. Banning e-cigarettes from checked bags is a prudent safety measure."
Unlike traditional cigarettes, e-cigs and vaporizers do not require a flame to work. Instead, they use a battery to heat the internal e-liquid and create a smoke-like vapor. That battery, however, can cause a dangerous level of heat, officials said.
There have been at least 26 incidents since 2009 where e-cigarettes have caused explosions or fires, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Several of these incidents occurred when the devices were packed in luggage. Usually, according to the department, they have been accidentally left on or the battery has short-circuited.
In January at the Los Angeles International Airport, a checked bag caught fire in the luggage area. An e-cigarette that overheated while packed inside the luggage was blamed for the fire.
In January, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a safety alert that recommended that all air carriers require their passengers to carry e-cigarettes and related devices exclusively in the cabin of the aircraft.
In June, the International Civil Aviation Organization also prohibited carrying e-cigarettes in checked baggage and restricted the charging of these devices while on board an aircraft.
"The importance of the safety of the flying public provides good cause for our issuing (this rule)," said PHMSA Administrator Marie Therese Dominguez. "E-cigarettes in checked bags present a safety risk because they are capable of generating extreme heat, which could lead to a fire on board the aircraft."
While passengers may continue to carry e-cigarettes for personal use in carry-on baggage or on their person, they still cannot use them while onboard. The department's current regulatory ban on smoking of tobacco products on passenger flights also bans the use of electronic cigarettes and vaporizers.
The new rule still allows passengers to carrying other devices containing batteries for personal use (such as laptop computers, cell phones, cameras, etc.) in checked or carry-on baggage.


When was the first time in a writing opinion did people started saying that Jesus Our Lord was the Creator and not the Father The Most High.
I can understand some dwelling in the land of Babylon with the understanding of the different meanings of God. Is it not true that if you dont know the Son the Father is not in you. The Son who was in the beginning of our world with the Father.


An RCD is a safety device that switches off electricity automatically if there is a fault.
RCDs are far more sensitive than normal fuses and circuit-breakers and provide additional protection against electric shock.
Using electricity whilst wet significantly increases the risk of electric shock. If you are wet and in contact with the ground, it makes it easier for the electricity to flow through you. RCDs can help protect you from electric shock in areas, such as in bathrooms and gardens, where you may be in contact with moisture or water.
It is very important to have RCD protection when using electrical equipment outdoors. Without it, a simple job like mowing the lawn could turn into a deadly disaster if you cut through the electrical lead. In July 2008 a new edition of the UK standard for the safety of electrical installations, BS 7671: 2008, came into effect. This standard now calls for virtually all circuits in new or rewired homes to be provided with additional protection by means of an RCD.
A good tip is to always test your fixed RCDs when changing to and from daylight saving, as many electric clocks and timers have to be reset anyway. Testing RCDs It is strongly recommended that you test all fixed and socket-outlet RCDs regularly (about every three months) by using the 'test' button built into them. Manufacturers recommend that portable RCDs are tested every time you use them. Do not hold the test button in for a long time if the RCD does not trip. If the RCD does not switch off the supply when you use the test button, get advice from a registered electrician.

HIFA Blog: Month in Review, April 2019 - Traditional birth attendants
Quote of the month: "To mandate only skilled persons to take deliveries in a world with severe shortage of human resource in health, puts pregnant women at more risk during delivery". (HIFA Steering Group member Joseph Ana, Africa Centre for Clinical Governance Research and Patient Safety, Nigeria)
For many years, the maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Malawi has been one of the highest in Africa. It had almost doubled from 620/100,000 in 1992 to 1221/100,000 live births in 2000. In 2007, to reverse the spiral of preventable deaths, the Malawi government issued Community Guidelines that prioritised skilled birth attendance and institutional delivery, whilst simultaneously banning traditional birth attendants (TBAs) from participating in routine deliveries.
Given that skilled birth attendance is globally recommended to reduce maternal mortality, the Malawi government seemed to have taken the right approach. However, a recent study, considered by HIFA members during April, found that the 2007 Community Guidelines had 'aggravated' the barriers to maternal care already faced by women. There was also evidence that, "the policy had further ruptured linkages between community and health facilities, which were ultimately detrimental to the continuum of care".
The study is currently restricted-access but Neil Pakenham-Walsh (HIFA Coordinator) has seen the full version. It reveals that the Malawi government has since rescinded the ban on TBA participation; they will now be 'conducting deliveries only in unavoidable circumstances'. "This is a recognition that TBAs will continue to be 'in charge' of childbirth in some situations", Neil told the HIFA forum. "Where there is no trained health professional available", he continued, "a trained TBA could mean the difference between life and death".
At the time of writing this (June 2019), HIFA is coordinating a thematic discussion about the WHO guideline on health policy and system support to optimise community health worker (CHW) programmes. Neil asked HIFA members if selected TBAs could be trained as specialised CHWs.
"It's not only positive but necessary", replied Mohammed Barzegar (HIFA member, Iran), recalling his experiences of training beharvz (the Farsi term for a CHW) to take on newborn deliveries in Iran during 1971, in addition to delivering routine primary healthcare to a population of approximately 1500-2500. Unfortunately, the project suffered a setback when the combined workload became too much for the beharvz, who were also being publicly discredited as inexperienced by TBA colleagues. A compromise was reached with community leaders whereby beharvz would not attend a delivery if a TBA was available, but would provide sterilised equipment, antiseptics and – if requested by the TBA – assistance.
The author of our Quote of the Month, Joseph Ana, agrees with Neil's assertion that trained TBAs are a vital resource. "It is better to task shift activities in child birth", he stated, "but ensure that the TBAs are trained, equipped with clean equipment and then monitor their practice". He reminded HIFA members that pregnant women placed a great deal of trust in TBAs, choosing them to deliver their newborns even when skilled practitioners were available. "Until there are sufficient skilled personnel to go round", he concluded, "a planned and structured engagement of TBAs makes better sense especially in low- and middle-income countries".
The discrediting of TBAs or banning them from participating in births is not confined to Malawi, however. Since 1986, Marion Subah (HIFA member, Liberia) has been working in a leadership role with Traditional Midwives (TM) in Liberia. "There is not a delivery that happens in rural areas in Liberia", she stated, "without more than one Traditional Midwife (TM) and sometimes a Trained traditional midwife (TTM)". The training of Liberian TTMs was previously based on a curriculum developed by the Ministry of Health and approved by UNICEF. The impact of civil war, however, took its toll. "During the war years", Marion told HIFA, "many came to help and brought their own ideas and distorted the program instead of building on it, creating even more challenges".
The problems didn't stop there. Global experts in maternal health withdrew support for TTMs, reasoning that the causes of MMR could only be managed in hospitals. Through sustained advocacy, she is helping to reintroduce TTMs into maternal health teams across Liberia.
In regard to training TBAs as specialist CHWs, however, Marion is unconvinced. "I am very cautious as I hear people talking about CHWs. Many are not talking about TMs but rather a new cadre and now I find myself again trying to convince experts that TMs are resources at the communities and we need to support them and work with them." Joseph Ana agreed, warning that, "not to use a resource (adopt them, train them, equip them, monitor them) that is already on the ground but rather only build newer cadres like CHW (as laudable as it is) is a big missed opportunity in LMICs".
Indonesia is one country where support for TBAs is desperately needed. "They are part of the local culture, important and respected by the community where they live", explained Anna Alisjahbana (HIFA member, Indonesia). "Unfortunately many are semiliterate and unresponsive to new medical technology". A qualitative study of previous training programmes for Indonesian TBAs found deficiencies: no consideration of their culture or habits, poor post-training supervision, and no opportunity to refresh their skills. The Indonesian Ministry of Health wants to replace TBAs with midwives. Meanwhile, Anna has "started developing equipment, recording forms based on appropriate technology principles. Tools, acceptable, applicable, easy to use and effective need be provided for TBAs".
Anna knows there is still more work to do. "It will not have a significant result unless a working referral system is available", she told the forum, adding that better partnerships between midwives and TBAs based upon mutual respect are vital. She also made a prediction: "TBA's will disappear naturally if rural women are more educated and can make choices."
For David Gisselquist (HIFA member, United States), such freedom of choice for expectant mothers in LMICs is in short supply. The implications are serious. "Mandating that women deliver in health centers without traditional birth attendants violates women's rights, as stated in The Declaration of Lisbon on the Rights of the Patient", he told the HIFA forum. He went on to explain that it removes the patient's right to self-determination – one of the guiding principles of the Declaration – and to make free decisions regarding him or herself. It also places the patient's safety at risk, particularly if standard precautions in health facilities are lacking, leaving them vulnerable to nosocomial infections. Malawi is one of many countries where such issues remain unaddressed. It's vital that such facilities are made safer because, as David puts it – "women should be allowed to decide for themselves where they feel safe." Empowering citizens to make informed decisions about their own health (and the health of those for whom they are responsible) is fundamental to achieving the HIFA Vision.

Head Coach Jim Caldwell Quotes - 11-9
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on how he approaches the New England game) "We're not going to prepare any differently. We're not going to do anything any differently than we do any other week.
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on how he approaches the New England game) * *
"We're not going to prepare any differently. We're not going to do anything any differently than we do any other week. Obviously, it's a big game (against) a very, very talented opponent. That's how we're going to address it."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on if it is just another game)
"It's the next one. The next one for us is a big one. The next one for us is the most important one."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on WR-Austin Collie's health)
"He appears to be doing fine. I know he's been in this morning, and he looks like he's going to be okay. I'm not certain exactly (about) practice status and all those things as of yet."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on the Colts at the midway point of the season)
"We try to divide it up into four quarters. We were 4-0 in the first quarter, 4-0 in the second quarter. We can't do any better than that, in terms of our record. We certainly think we can play a lot better. At this point in time, we're just kind of sputtering a little bit. We probably aren't finishing drives like we'd like to on offense. From a defensive standpoint, we're having some really great stretches along the way, and I think playing pretty well defensively. But, we'd still like to be a little bit better. That's the good thing about this team, we have room to improve. Our kicking game, our coverage units have been very good. They continue to improve every week, but we'd like to ramp it up a little bit, in terms of our return team. Overall, I think it's a team that has a lot of room for improvement, that can get better, and I think that is a great thing. We haven't plateaued, we just have to keep finding ways to get better week-to-week."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on the series against New England)
"Probably every one of them has been a real battle…A bunch of them have gone right down to the wire. They've been really tough contests. Two very capable teams, and obviously outstanding coaching staffs that are working together trying to find a way to defeat the other. I think they've all been quite memorable."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on the Colts fumble recovery at the Houston goal line)
"The real key is the ball crossing the goal line, had it been in the field of play, it still would have been their ball in that situation. That's what I understand. He (DB-Jerraud Powers) hadn't reestablished himself (with both feet in bounds before touching the ball). It appears that way. That's the way it looked. Maybe they saw something from a different angle that we didn't see or have benefit of. I looked at it about 10 times and it looks like he did."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on DB-Jerraud Powers' maturity in knowing that he had to reestablish himself in-bounds)
"I'll tell you something, that is kind of a bit unusual. (Special Teams Coordinator) Ray Rychleski goes through the entire league's special teams plays every week. He looks at every single game. He tries to find very, very unusual things that may occur, things that guys might not know and might not quite understand. Actually, that was a play that popped up, might have been early in preseason or something like that, that Ray had shown those guys in a special teams meeting, and that was what Jerraud was referring to. I think the particular play he was talking about the guy had one foot out of bounds and touched the ball, so it was ruled out. So, that's why he made such a point. You could see him hopping in-bounds trying to get his feet down before he made contact with the ball. I think those things that just try to enlighten them on different rules is helpful."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on if it's unusual to find a coach that will watch film of every team in the NFL like Special Teams Coordinator Ray Rychleski does)
"There are a lot of hard workers in this league. I know Jon Gruden looked at every play of every game all the way through the year, every week. There may be several others, or there is somebody within the organization doing that for them to save a little time. I think you find that this is a league that is full of Type A personalities that are trying to find an edge."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on the young defensive backs)
"One of the things I think that you have to take into consideration is that they have been playing for awhile now. It started way back in preseason where we may have had some guys that weren't playing during the course of the week. So, they had to get in and get some playing time and get a little bit under their belt. They've probably played maybe 10 games, Jerraud (Powers) has for certain and Jacob (Lacey) has played quite a bit, as well. They're not quite seasoned, but I wouldn't consider them rookies either. We also don't look at them that way, just in terms of how we expect them to play and perform. We don't allow them to make any excuses because of inexperience. They study, they prepare like everyone else. We hold them to a standard, in terms of what we expect from them, and they measure up to it. They have been improving week by week. They have the kind of attitude that I think is important. They study hard. They work extremely hard, and they're mature as well. I think those things do indeed help. But, let me say this, every week is a brand new challenge. This week there is a huge challenge, in terms of covering maybe one of the best wide receivers in all of football in Randy Moss and (WR-Wes) Welker on the inside. Every week they have to prove themselves over again. Regardless of what they've done previously, this week is a brand new week. We have to get ready for maybe one of the best corps of wide receivers that we'll see, and couple that with an outstanding quarterback who is a cut above. They have their work cut out for them. It'll be a challenge."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on if facing WR-Andre Johnson this past game was a good setup for the New England game)
"They all are different. I just think every week you'll find guys that have different sets of abilities, their skill set is a little different, how they utilize it within their offensive structure is different. So, I'm not certain that will prepare them for it, but they certainly are going to see the same kind of speed they saw from (Houston) WR-Jacoby Jones, who can get down the field. You're going to see the same kind of size, obviously, from WR-Randy Moss, but he's a different type of body type than Johnson. Obviously, (Houston QB-Matt) Schaub did a nice job throwing the ball, and they're going to see one of the best this coming week."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on his approach to practice with rookies probably already playing more games this season than they did in a college season)
"It's tough to do. We kind of analyze those situations and take a look at them, but you just don't have the same kind of flexibility you may have in college where you could say, 'Hey, listen, we're going to back off you a little bit.' You just don't have the numbers. Everybody has got to work basically the same kind of work load for the most part. What we try and do, and I've been making a point of and particularly talking about that aspect, 'Hey, right now you would have played one college season.' And that was a few weeks ago. Four preseason games and when we had played seven regular season games, I started talking to them about it, 'What you have to do is make certain you get your rest, make certain your mind is clear, make certain your taking care of your body and eating properly, all those kinds of things, because you're going a bit beyond what you've ever done before. We can't have you hitting the walls.' We talk to them about those things, and I think the rest part of it is probably as important as anything, because after awhile they kind of get comfortable, get in a routine and then they end up staying up a little bit longer and a little bit longer, and they're young guys, too. So, we try to guard against that. But, in terms of their workload, we practice the same every week."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on if there have been times where a rookie has hit the wall)
"I've seen rookies and coaches, as well. Coaches coming from college, it's quite an adjustment. It does indeed happen."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on if he'll emphasize this week the playoff implications tied to this game)
"Not really. We're going to talk about our task at hand. We'll get ready for this team and play, and we'll add it up at the end. We'll talk about where it puts us after we finish the ballgame, but not before."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on RB-Donald Brown's status)
"Not real certain. We know he feels better. I was talking to (Colts' Head Athletic Trainer) Dave Hammer this morning. He feels a lot better. Hopefully, we'll see come Wednesday. This is victory Monday, so guys get a little break in the action, but we'll see come Wednesday exactly what happens with him."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on being 8-0 despite some key injuries)
"Probably because we don't harp on it nearly as much as I think most people do. When they look at the situation they think that we're in dire straits. We look at it totally different. There is an interesting thing. I think this is true. I read it somewhere. I understand the word crisis, and we're not in a crisis, but the word crisis in Chinese, they have two distinct characters. One of those characters is the sign for danger, and the other is for opportunity. We look at it as an opportunity for someone to step up, take someone's place, to get a little bit more playing time than they ordinarily would have. Oftentimes, guys don't see that crack that they have, that opportunity, but I sort of make certain that they do. I walk up to a guy every once in awhile and tell him, 'Hey, listen, this is a great opportunity for you, something you've always wanted to do,' and most of the time they respond. I don't believe they need me to tell them that either. They can see. They understand, and I think do indeed take advantage of the opportunities."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on what Defensive Coordinator Larry Coyer has brought to the Colts' defense)
"He's a very, very smart guy, first of all. He has an unusual knack to really analyze teams and to find out what their tendencies are and then put our guys in the best possible position to execute. He's a stickler for details. He does not let a mistake go without notice, and he tries to drive it home. He's a guy that has a great amount of enthusiasm for this game. He has a great passion for it, and it's demonstrated every single day in the meeting rooms and also on the practice field. He's very, very effective at what he does, also. I've known him for a long time, so it's not anything new to me, but he's always been very, very good at what he does."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on DE-Josh Thomas signing with the team on Friday and playing in the game on Sunday)
"He is a guy that knows our system, understands it, and we're happy that he was able to come in and certainly give us some assistance. I think that's great value in a guy that's been brought up in the system. We can kind of plug him in, and he can give us some help on short notice."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on the 1975 Baltimore Colts team spending the previous weekend in Indianapolis)
"A few of them came to practice on Saturday morning. I had a chance to talk with QB-Bert Jones. I had a conversation with him, primarily because of the fact that we were over in Tokyo a few years back and Ted Marchibroda was over with us doing the radio. I sat down with him and he and I were just talking and I said to him, 'Just tell me about some of the great quarterbacks you coached and guys that you had a lot of respect for, in terms of work habits and ability, etc.' He spoke often about Bert Jones and about how much he loved the way he worked and how talented he was and what a great leader he was, as well. Then, there was a gentleman by the name of Dan Dickel, who played outside linebacker for them on the '75 team. He and I were teammates in college. He was a senior and co-captain when I was a freshman. He and I go way back. So, I had a chance to see him, and I haven't seen him since 1973. That's been a long time. We've both changed since that time. He's in coaching, as well. He's coaching a high school team back in Iowa, but a good man. It was nice. I saw another gentleman, Freddie Scott Sr., came to the event. He as a wide receiver on the '75 team. The interesting thing was that his son played for us at Penn State, and I recruited his son (Freddie Scott Jr., who played for the Colts in 1998) out of Detroit. I understand that (Senior Offensive Line Coach) Howard Mudd played with a couple of guys. (Offensive Quality Control/Assistant Offensive Line Coach) Pete (Metzelaars) played with two or three. (Senior Offensive Coordinator) Tom (Moore) had some associations there. You know how this game is. There are a lot of them across the board. It was a great weekend. DE-Joe Ehrmann comes quite often, so we've all known him for quite awhile. (It was) a great team. An interesting team. A 1-4 start in 1975 and won nine straight, battled through it and did a great job and ended up winning the AFC East. A very good team."
"There's a quote in the bible and I think it's (Luke 14:11) and it says, 'Exalt thyself and be humbled, or humble thyself and be exalted.' I like to take the latter part of that, okay. Really, I think it's more of an indication that our team is playing well, every player, every coach, everybody in this organization certainly has a part in it. Anytime anyone starts to think they are the reason why, or all of a sudden there is a pedestal set that you've accomplished something, it's a team-oriented game. This doesn't have a whole lot to do with my efforts and my work and those kinds of things. It's a part of it, but it's not exclusive. So, therefore I refrain from talking about it a whole lot, but I do recognize that it is something of note because it is hard to win one game in this league, let alone what our team has done, putting together back-to-back games for eight in a row. That's something and that is very, very difficult to do, and I don't want to discount that."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on the Colts' finding ways to win)
"That's a great thing about them, they're resourceful. Sometimes, things might not be going very well in one area and they find a way to strengthen us in another. Maybe it's our kicking game that holds up and really comes on and keeps a team at bay, or maybe it's our defense that slows a team down enough for our offense (to get) on track, or maybe it's the offense getting out in front early so that we can turn our pass rushers loose. I think the ability to win a number of different ways is good, because this league will force you to do so. Oftentimes, you will find what you may consider to be a strength one week, well, the opposition is going to look at that and say, 'Okay, well how can we take this particular phase away from them?' (They) try to make you play left-handed. Therefore, you have to find other ways to win, and I think our team has been good at that, so far."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on if the team is planning to add any depth at defensive back)
"There's a possibility. That's something we're going to look at hard in the next couple of days and see what adjustments we need to make."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on second-guessing his decision to call a timeout at the end of the first half)
"Not really. It's just the way it goes. Sometimes, it may go the other way around. You don't do it, they make it. You do it, they don't make it. At the end of the game, we didn't, and he didn't make it. It just depends. You can't sweat it a whole lot. You decide to do what you think is best at that particular time, you do it, and you don't look back."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on if it is a good rule that allows teams to call timeouts to freeze a kicker)
"If it works. I think it's a good rule. It may not be one of those situations where (you're trying to freeze the kicker), it might be a substitution reason that you want a timeout in that situation. There could be a number of different factors. One of the things we were debating is if we were going to put a guy deep. That was one of the things we were talking about. There are a lot of different things that occur."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on why the offense isn't finishing drives)
"I don't think it's ever play selection. I think if you execute, that solves all your problems, regardless of what it is. Every play that you draw up, if everybody blocks who they're supposed to block, run the route they're supposed to run, there is going to be someone in position to make a play. I think it boils down to execution, for the most part. That said, we don't make any excuses about that. We just need to finish and finish better. We've been able to do so, week-in and week-out. We're sputtering a bit right now, but we believe in how we practice, we believe in the guys playing for us, and we'll find a way to get it done."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on RB-Joseph Addai and his role)
"I think Joseph, when you look at it from just a sheer numbers standpoint, I think he was 4.5 yards per carry yesterday, which is pretty good. You'd like that. It's just a matter that we didn't get him the ball a whole lot because our game plan was a little bit different. We decided to come out and run a more of a two-minute operation at the beginning of the game that required a lot of passing involved in it, up-tempo, which worked well for us. We moved the ball up the field, we just didn't get the thing in the end zone as much as we'd like. I think Joseph has been efficient, and had we'd given him the ball a little bit more, maybe he would have gotten a little bit more yardage. I thought he did a nice job for us. He's had some big days against Houston over the years."
HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL (on OG-Kyle DeVan's first start)
"He played steady. He played hard. Just like anyone of our guys, he's got room to improve."

Note to New England Patriots fans, television persons and the world entire: stop calling Tom Brady the G.O.A.T.
It's not that this writer doesn't like it, or that it's an overused, made-for-First Take acronym, or that the connotation of "goat" has in this decade morphed from "reason for losing" to "reason for being." No, Brady doesn't like it either, and the very utterance of the word gives the 41-year-old superhuman and six-time Super Bowl champion the heebie-jeebies.
"I don't even like that. I don't even like it. It makes me cringe, it makes me cringe. it makes me cringe," Brady told retired New York Giants legend and Good Morning America host Michael Strahan. "I guess I take compliments worse than I take [criticism]. I wish you would say, 'You're trash. You're too old. You're too slow. You can't get it done no more.' And I would say, 'Thank you very much. I'm going to go prove you wrong.'"
This isn't a surprising response from Brady, who was just hours removed from his sixth Super Bowl title, one during which he inspired the Pats to role-play as underdogs and led chants of "We're still here!" to throngs of fans who didn't presume otherwise.
Once the man retires in 23 years and his legacy is laid to rest and primped for enshrinement, Brady will likely have no issues or physical reactions to critics and fans calling him the greatest football player of all-time, instead of his boyhood idol Joe Montana. It's a consideration all athletes in their respective sports dream of being bestowed upon them.
But as long as Brady is still playing, and winning, under the curmudgeony level-headed leadership of Bill Belichick, he will react to a compliment or premature honor as he would to a strawberry or an artificial preservative: with gorgeous revulsion.


Officer suspended after investigation into..
A Victoria Police Inspector has been stood down following an investigation into inappropriate behaviour in the workplace.
Ross and John were told on Rumour File this morning, allegations of sexual predatory behaviour have been made against the man.
The Rumour File contributor also indicated the suspension had been "a long time coming".
Victoria Police later confirmed the rumour to 3AW Breakfast, releasing the below statement.


Spaying and neutering are among the most common types of surgeries that are performed at your local animal hospital. When you decide to spay or neuter your pet, you will be able to help promote the life long health of your furry companion. By spaying or neutering your pet, you can also ensure that your dog or cat does not contribute to our national dog and cat overpopulation problem. Here is a look at how spaying and neutering can promote your pet's health.
When you spay or neuter your dog or cat, you can help to prevent unwanted puppies or kittens. Even if you are a very diligent pet owner, neglecting to spay or neuter your pet could result in an unwanted litter. Spaying or neutering is the most effective way to keep your dog or cat from becoming unexpectedly pregnant.
Along with preventing a litter, spaying or neutering your cat or dog can help you avoid unwanted behaviors that are associated with unsterilized animals. For example, by spaying your female dog or cat, you can prevent unwanted heat cycles. In addition, neutering a male animal can help prevent aggressive behaviors.
Finally, spaying or neutering your cat or dog can help you reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. Female animals, for example, are less likely to develop uterine or breast cancer when they have been spayed. This simple surgery can go a long ways towards promoting the life long health of your pet.
If you are in need of spay or neuter services in Scottsdale, be sure to pay a visit to Horizon Animal Hospital. Our surgery room is equipped with the latest equipment, and we will make sure that your pet is comfortable during every step of the procedure.
