Jason Keen joins BBC Radio 4's Today programme
Congratulations to Jason Keen, a former John Schofield Trust mentee in 2017-18, who has joined BBC Radio 4's Today programme as a senior producer and output editor.
Jason was previously Deputy Editor of The Andrew Marr Show, editing some of the most watched episodes in the programme's history during the coronavirus pandemic. He also helped launch The Andrew Neil Show on BBC Two and produced The Andrew Neil Interviews series with party leaders during the 2019 General Election.
A specialist interviews producer, Jason has produced the winner of Politico's Broadcast Interview of the Year Award for the past two successive years: Andrew Neil's 2019 encounter with Jeremy Corbyn and Emma Barnett's Marr interview with Barry Gardiner in 2018.
Jason said: 'I'm delighted to be joining the Today team at such an exciting time for the programme. When I first started out in broadcast journalism I used to listen to the editors' names being read out before the pips at nine o'clock and think I was a million miles away from that ever being me. The fact it is now happening is both a thrill and a privilege.
'I need to say a big thank you to Susie Schofield and the JST for helping me reach this point – their ongoing support has been absolutely invaluable. Chris Howard at Sky News was the ideal mentor I needed at that point in my career and was always there when I needed advice. It's fantastic to see the Trust going from strength-to-strength and I hope many more aspiring journalists take the chance to get involved.'

The group was undaunted by a few drops of rain at the beginning of the hike into Newton Lake and was rewarded with clearing skies. We had this beautiful and serene lake all to ourselves, but no one went swimming. It was a bit cool and some leeches kept cruising by. After a leisurely lunch and a bit of exploring beyond the second swimming rock, we returned as many others headed up to the lake. 8.9 km; 3 3/4 hours.


Five equipments of the Wirtgen Group purchased at the M&T Expo 2012 fair will be used in the "Asfalto Liso" Project works. The program developed by the Rio de Janeiro City Office of Public Works is a long-term initiative to maintain and recover streets in the western, northern, and southern areas and Barra da Tijuca as well. With that, the city administration estimates that nearly 800 km of streets will be recovered.
The idea is to improve the city's infrastructure and get it ready for two of the most important sports events in the world to be held in the next few years, the World Cup and the Olympic Games. The program was launched in 2010 and is meant to fully recover the asphalt in all areas of the city, ensuring greater durability for the pavement and decreasing the number of hole-plugging actions carried out by the City Office of Conservation.
Erwil, the company in charge of the work, has purchased three Hamm rollers models HD 10C VV, GRW 18 and HD 14 VT, one Wirtgen W 100 F milling machine, and one Vögele S 1100-2 paver to carry out the project.
Márcio Luis da Silva, Erwil's maintenance engineer, explained that the company started working in collaboration with the Rio de Janeiro City Administration last year. "In the beginning of our contract we purchased another five equipments from the Wirtgen Group, and now, to keep the process going, we felt the need to further equip our fleet with quality products such as the ones offered by the group's brands".

Singapore Premier League • June 19, 2014
Nagasaki And Ota Fire Albirex To Fifth
Albirex Niigata (S) ensured that they remained in the race for the Great Eastern Yeo's S.League title as they edged Tanjong Pagar United 2-1 at Queenstown Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Kento Nagasaki and Keisuke Ota got their names on the scoresheet for Albirex, before substitute Monsef Zerka pulled one back late on to make for a nervy ending to the game.
The Japanese side are now level on points with fourth-placed Home United and a point behind the Warriors and the Stags, but still remain five behind league leaders Brunei DPMM, who beat Courts Young Lions on the same night.
Both the Jaguars and the White Swans were full of hunger coming into the game following their respective 3-0 and 7-1 victories over Young Lions and Woodlands Wellington, but it was the visitors who quickly took control.
With just three minutes on the clock, Nagasaki unleashed a low half-volley from just outside the penalty box that found the bottom corner of the net.
The hosts were keen to respond as quickly and Kamel Ramdani saw his free-kick curl not far wide of the post minutes later.
Tanjong Pagar were making use of the flanks through Sazali Salleh and Firdaus Idros, but Albirex full-backs Soichiro Tanaka and Itsuki Yamada dealt with the duo well, often closing them down to prevent crosses.
The scores could have been levelled on 20 minutes when Masrezwan Masturi was brought down in the penalty box, but Ramdani agonizingly struck the post from the spot to let Albirex off the hook.
Ten minutes before the interval, Tanaka's cross from the right was met by the head of Kazuki Sakamoto, only for Aurelien Herisson to produce a spectacular save. Another chance went begging for the visiting side when Kazuya Fukuzaki's finish off Ota's cross sailed miles over the bar.
Albirex continued their dominance after the restart and finally increased their lead in the 59th minute when Ota's shot from the edge of the box bulged the top corner of the net.
But the Jaguars refused to throw in the towel just yet, as Ramdani saw his free-kick palmed away by Kazuki Kishigami.
Zerka was introduced to the game and Ahmad Latiff was pushed upfront as coach Patrick Vallee went for broke, but Kishigami had other ideas as he pulled off two saves to deny Zerka's header and Latiff's volley.
The Albirex goal was eventually breached In the 83rd minute when Zerka fired home a penalty, but it was too little too late as Tanjong Pagar saw their two-game winning run come to an end.

Features Interviews PC
Dragon Bros Interview: Space Lizard on Creating a Metal Slug-Inspired Shooter for the Modern Audience
On Oct 14, 2016, by Chris Mawson
Side-scrolling, retro-inspired action games have seen something of a resurgence in recent years, from the relatively straight-forward – but critically acclaimed – platforming of Shovel Knight to the bullet hell frenzy of Super Time Force.
At Play Expo 2016, we had the opportunity to get hands-on with Dragon Bros, a run-and-gun game that pays an unapologetic homage to 8-bit shooter classics such as Metal Slug and Contra. The title, developed by Liverpool-based independent outfit Space Lizard Studio, features a colourful 2D pixel-art aesthetic along with simple, accessible gameplay, and will feel instantly familiar to fans of the genre.
Although Dragon Bros is a treat for retro fans, it's clear that Space Lizard have also tried to cater to a wide-ranging audience. Along with its cutesy visual style, younger gamers will likely feel more at home with Dragon Bros' control scheme. Rather than relying on face buttons for both jumping and shooting, the game features an analogue-and-triggers control setup, that both classic and modern gamers can easily get to grips with.
After spending half an hour blasting our way through the title in co-op mode, we sat down with Space Lizard Studio's Gabriele Caruso to find out more about Dragon Bros and its influences.
Chris Mawson: To start off with Gabriele, can you to give us a bit of an introduction to Dragon Bros and its core mechanics?
Gabriele Caruso: Dragon Bros is a retro-style game, which has been influenced by classic titles like Metal Slug and Contra, as well as Broforce and Super Time Force. We wanted players to be able to jump straight into the game, and have fun playing. The story of the game follows these two little dragons, whose mother was kidnapped by an evil robot society. It's a pixel-art adventure, featuring a large number of levels to progress through, a huge selection of weapons to collect, and robots and bosses to battle.
CM: While Dragon Bros is very much a classic run-and-gun game, its gameplay is almost twitch-based in the way you utilise the analogue sticks and triggers. Has that been a deliberate attempt to modernise a classic genre?
GC: Yes, that's correct. We're giving the player the option to switch between control schemes, as well, so you can switch to A being jump and X being shoot. For the modern players, the default option is perhaps the best, but obviously if you want to have a different feel you can switch things up.
CM: How is the game structured? I noticed we went from an over-world into individual stages; can you give us a bit of a rundown of the levels that are in the game, and how you progress from one to the other?
GC: There is a map in-game that is very much inspired by classic games like Super Mario Bros. 3, so you can follow the path step-by-step, but you can also repeat the levels to increase your high score. There are currently nine levels in the game, and there are going to be bonus levels as well; we are building two new ones at the moment. One is a replica of Space Invaders, so you are going to have an arena with robots coming at you from above. The other is going to be a Pang (Buster Bros.) replica with these bubbles going on. We want to give the players these mini-games to break up the action a little bit. And then you'll have boss levels as well, where you'll fight these big bosses with huge amounts of HP.
CM: It seems to be set up so you can instantly switch between single-player and co-op. Does Dragon Bros feature a shared life system between the two players as well?
GC: The game is much easier if you play co-op, because if one character dies then the other is still alive, and then if the surviving character hits the checkpoint, then the other one comes back to life; you need to rely on the second player not to die if you want to come back to life and complete the level. There's a cool-down system, as well, so whenever you die there is a wait of 15-20 seconds, depending on where you are, to respawn.
CM: Can you tell us about the ultra moves? It looks like you build these up by collecting coins?
GC: That's right, you collect these scraps, which are shaped like the rings from Sonic, to increase a little yellow bar that will allow you to trigger a special ability. This ability is weapon-specific, so there are a lot of different ultra moves in the game. There's a machine gun, for instance, that turns into a three-way gun, and the laser cannon, which triggers a laser beam from above that kills all enemies.
CM: In terms of these different weapons, are they acquired from pick-ups in-game, or do you have arsenal that you can build up and switch to as you progress through the title?
GC: For the time being we just have these collectables through the levels, in a Metal Slug-style, so it's very classic. We want to see what happens with Early Access and the Kickstarter campaign that we're about to launch, because it depends on the funds that we raise as to whether we can implement various features, such as a drone system and the ability to recover energy. We also want to implement a PvP mode, but these require a lot of resources and a lot more work.
CM: Dragon Bros is currently on Steam Early Access; when is a full launch planned for and will it be releasing on any other platforms?
GC: It will be released in February on PC and Xbox One, as well, via the ID@Xbox programme.
Dragon Bros is available now on Steam Early Access after successfully passing through the Greenlight programme, priced at £6.99. We'll have more news on Space Lizard Studio's Kickstarter campaign, which aims to raise £12,000, as soon as it is officially launched.

I'm really loving the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A couple of my blog readers have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem?


Jean-Luc Godard, The great French director, wrote: "Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second." Yet whose truth, exactly, is captured on those film strips?
Stezaker's initial depravation seems to have sharpened his aesthetic sense. His ongoing work with antique promotional images has seen him turn these rather tweedy, prim images into powerfully surreal collages. After years of relative neglect, Stezaker won the Deutsche Borse Prize in 2012; he's also featured in our Vitamin Ph book, and continues to win praise for his photo montages.
These new screen prints deviate from Stezaker's better-known cut-and-paste pieces, yet he has worked publicity stills into this new show in a newer way. This new exhibition, at New York's Petzel gallery, also features the US premier of his 2013 film, Blind.
This short movie, which was shown in London last year, is entirely made up of film stills, screened at 24 images per second, the standard film projection rate. However, the stills don't show a sequence of movements, but a jumble of images. You can pick out faces, and perhaps scenes, but the overall impression is that of an avalanche of scenes and figures, each suggesting plots and characters, but each brief and unknowable. Is this a frank representation of archival culture, an apt representation of the vast, unknowable Western cultural back catalogue, or a peek inside the mind of a young Stezaker, looking into those old, forbidden lobbies? Go to Petzel to find out. And if you're in London this week, you can see some of Stezaker's work at The approach stand E1 at Frieze.
Meanwhile, for a richer understanding of this artist, pick up a copy of Vitamin Ph. And for greater insight into photo production, past and present, pick up a copy of The Photography Book.

Q: Why is .NET MAUI app not running after compile? this might sound like a novice or stupid question (it probably is).
But I created a very simple .NET MAUI app, almost the same as the default template with slight modifications. It runs well in the editor (default debug, any cpu config), but it won't run the .exe after build.
Build is correct and .EXE is generated, but when trying to run it (regardless of admin rights) it doesn't open any window. Checked the task manager and it opens a task with the exe name that terminates instantly.
Any ideas on why is this happening?
Thanks in advance.

A: I had the same issue, and I solved by installing WinUI3 from Windows Store:
https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/winui-3-gallery/9P3JFPWWDZRC?hl=en-us&gl=us
To explain: .NET MAUI can run on Windows 10, but only by installing the WinUI3 mentioned above.
These are the requirements:

Q: Are weak force particle transformations continuous or instantaneous? The weak force transforms particles from one type to another. What can we say about the transition?
Take this as an example:

In the discrete view:

*

*Before junction A there are 2 up quarks and one down quark

*After junction A and before junction B, there are 2 down quarks, one up quark, and a w+ boson

*After junction B there are 2 down quarks, one up quark, a positron, and electron-nutrino.

I am suspicious that this view is not completely accurate. It introduces discontinuities in the fields, so wouldn't that make the fields undifferentiable.
My intuition is that "counting particles" is itself not really a valid operation, and during the continuous time periods within the junctions, we could say that, for example, the W+ boson partially exists for a while, coming into existence gradually and continuously as the boson field gradually and continuously changes until eventually it reaches a temporarily-stable excited state which we artificially label as "one more boson".
Is my intuition correct? Are these transitions discrete or continuous? What can we say about what happens inside these junctions?

A: The example you show is an effective Feynman diagram. Feynman diagrams are a method of representing the integrals that have to be calculated in order to predict observable values.When the weak force enters at a vertex, the calculations need the weak  coupling constant in the integral, which gives smaller crossections and longer decay times in the end.
I call it effective feynman diagram because the Quantum Field algebra does not work for the strong interaction, because of the large coupling constant and asymptotic freedom. One needs different tools, as QCD on the lattice to do calculation, although to first order an estimate can be made.

Are weak force particle transformations continuous or instantaneous?

Nothing is instantaneous, since everything in quantum mechanical theories is Lorenz transformation consistent, so all times are limited by the velocity of light. In addition there is the Heisenberg uncertainty for time and energy which gives an envelope for the widths.  As we are successful in calculating crossections and lifetimes, which needs calculus, one bets on continuity.
Quantum field theory has creation and annihilation operators, in a sense "counting" particles in a field ( an positron  field an electron field a W field ..) and is the basis of the calculations of the Feynman method, so your intuition is off.
The whole space time is filled with the fields of the elementary particles and antiparticles in the table of the standard model , type of coordinate system on which particles and their interactions are modeled.

A: Your intuition about the particles partially existing is sort-of correct, but mostly an oversimplification of how the mathematical formalism describes the situation. A more developed description is that the various particle fields are more like a fixed basis for the state space of the system, and that it is the coefficients multiplied by these basis elements that you might need/want/hope to impose continuity constraints on. The number of $W$ bosons (on a particular spacelike hyperplane of spacetime, if you want to be rigorous about the special relative structure) is an observable of the system, but (as long as you don't disturb the system by measuring) what you get there is the expected value of this observable, which is not at all required to be an integer and therefore can continuously increase from zero to small positive values as you move your hyperplane forward in time.
All of this is however with the reservation that this is not at all what the formalism looks like, from which these Feynman diagrams pop out, and in the process of getting there the various quantities in the theory are subjected to enough transformations that the issue of whether the original quantities were continuous becomes rather esoteric — lots of the quantities you work with aren't even functions (though maybe distributions) when we reach the point that the Feynman diagrams appear, and we can start to actually calculate something. On the other hand, the results of those calculations are generally a good match for the experimental results, so there ought to be some sense to the whole thing.
One common point of confusion here concerns the role of the particle fields, because even though for example the photon field $A$ corresponds to the classical electromagnetic field (or more technically its $4$-vector potential, of which the electric field $E$ and magnetic field $B$ are derivatives), it is not like the classical EM field. The classical EM field carries information and has a state, but the photon field just sits there, showing photons how to behave. Whatever information there is in the system, such as the value of the classical electric field, is not in the photon field, though possibly of it. There are differential equations describing the particle fields — the Dirac equation, the Klein–Gordon equation, the wave equation, etc. — but the solutions are all just plane waves of varying wavelength that permeate all of spacetime, totally oblivious to any matter or energy found therein. (Well, I suppose spacetime curvature should affect them if these PDEs are what define them — that would be interesting to hear if anyone has done any work on — but in particle physics the particle fields are essentially taken to be fixed. (As a mathematician I would like to say that they are constants, but I fear that in a physics context that would be misinterpreted as saying they are independent of position and time, which these fields certainly are not, even if it is just the complex argument that varies.)) The information instead sits in the quantum state of the system, which we will somehow have to unravel if we are to actually predict the results of any experiment.
The Schrödinger equation says the quantum state $\lvert\Psi(t)\rangle$ evolves according to $i \hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \lvert\Psi(t)\rangle = H \lvert\Psi(t)\rangle$, where the operator $H$ is the Hamiltonian of the system. If $H$ is independent of time (e.g. it encodes only the fundamental laws of nature), then this (at least formally) has the solution $\lvert\Psi(t)\rangle = e^{-i H t / \hbar} \lvert\Psi(0)\rangle$. To prepare the initial state $\lvert\Psi(0)\rangle$ of the system, one starts from the vacuum state $\lvert0\rangle$ (where no particles are present) and acts upon it with an appropriate sequence of creation operators to add the particles one wants (with the momentum, spin, etc. desired). Conversely, to find the amplitude of a particular outcome in $\lvert\Psi(t)\rangle$, one may act upon it by the sequence of annihilation operators that would remove the expected ensemble of particles, and finally compute the amplitude for then having arrived back at the vacuum state using the vacuum bra vector $\langle 0\rvert$; the amplitude for starting with two $a$ particles (whatever those may be) of momenta $\mathbf{p}_1$ and $\mathbf{p}_2$ but ending at time $t$ with two $a$ particles of momenta $\mathbf{p}_3$ and $\mathbf{p}_4$ would thus be

*

*$\langle 0\rvert a(\mathbf{p}_3) a(\mathbf{p}_4) e^{-iHt/\hbar} a(\mathbf{p}_1)^\dagger a(\mathbf{p}_2)^\dagger \lvert 0\rangle$
(Confusingly in view of how a ✝ cross may be used to mark death of humans, the convention is that creation operators carry a dagger symbol $\dagger$, whereas the annihilation symbol do not.) Interestingly enough it is (at least in perturbative QFT) not necessary to construct an explicit representation for the creation and annihilation operators to act upon, because every creation operator combines with an annihilation operator elsewhere in the expression — either in the initial/final state, or in the expression for the Hamiltonian $H$.
Now these expressions undergo a number of transformations (not necessarily in the order mentioned, and I definitely fast-forward this, but my aim is to get the general gist across):

*

*The exponent of an operator $e^H$ (for simplicity) is expanded as a power series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{1}{n!} H^n$, so likewise the final state $\lvert\Psi(t)\rangle$ ends up as a superposition of the initial state having gone through $H$ zero times, or one time, or two times, or three times, etc.

*The Hamiltonian $H$ is reexpressed in terms of the Lagrangian (density) $\mathcal{L}$ of the theory. The Lagrangian is an expression in the particle fields of the theory.

*The Lagrangian $\mathcal{L}$ is semi-arbitrarily split up into free and interaction parts.

*

*The free part gives rise to the equations for the various particle fields, so a trip through that term in an $H$ just contributes a factor $e^{i \omega (t_2-t_1)}$ for where the angular velocity $\omega$ depends on the details of the particle (e.g. mass, momentum).

*The interaction part terms have the effect of annihilating some particles and creating (potentially different) particles. These are what become vertices in the Feynman diagrams.

*The split is somewhat arbitrary. Most famously the mass terms for particles are usually put in the free part, but when you view mass as being an effect of interaction with the Higgs field, those terms rather belong in the interaction part.

*Integrals over all of spacetime (making an actual Lagrangian out of the Lagrangian density $\mathcal{L}$) are combined with the exponential factors from the evolution of the free field parts and reinterpreted as Fourier transforms, after which a product [piece of the annihilation side of an interaction term]·[trip through the free part]·[piece of the creation side of an interaction term] gets converted into a propagator that constitutes an internal edge in the Feynman diagram. In doing so, time and space as variables are replaced by four-momenta.

So you can't really (within the matematical formalism) say that the transition $u \to d + W^+$ in your diagram corresponds to an event that takes place at a particular time, it's more like a partial result at a particular point in a particular expansion of the expression for the final state vector.
In particular, once you've transformed to momenta as variables, you no longer have a time order on things; the vertex you interpret as $u \to d + W^+$ might just as well be $u + W^- \to d$, since a particle going forward in time is exactly the same as its antiparticle going backward in time. The common description of virtual particles as "borrowing energy" and then giving it back fast enough to stay below the shroud of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle doesn't seem to have much support in the actual math — it's more like "everything that can happen will happen" (with the probability determined by all the factors in the expression).
On the other hand, having momenta as variables is great for describing particle accelerator experiments, because the momenta are the things you primarily know: you prepare two beams of known particles with known momenta, aim them at each other hoping they'll interact, and then stand back while your detectors measure (in particular type and momenta of) stuff coming out. The microscale time and place of the interactions are not so important.


The Caribbean Association of Whale Watching Operators (CARIBWhale), a responsible whale watch association is the Caribbean was created as an alternative voice to marine mammal exploitation in the Caribbean. The Caribbean Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders (CEWCL) team was tasked with helping CARIBwhale, within and outside the region, as a way to promote cetacean conservation. Responsible marine mammal watching is defined as tours by boat, air or land, with commercial aspect, to see or to listen to marine mammals, in order to minimize the impacts to cetaceans while maximizing the client satisfaction. The C-EWCL team assisted in the conservation effort by developing updated and systematic education tools for cetaceans conservation and distributing them to the masses.
The CEWCL team partnered with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) to create an educational operator guide for whales in the Caribbean. IFAW provided a grant to research and develop the draft of the guide. The guide offers advice and guidelines on how to identify species of whales and how tourists and locals can coexist and experience whale watching in a safe, friendly manner for all parties. The guide also mentions CARIBwhale, Observatoire des Mammifères de lˊArchipel Guadeloupéen (OMMAG), Caribbean-Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife- Regional Activity Center (CAR-SPAW-RAC), and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH) as partners to monitor whale watching and answer questions for whale watching practices. The next steps include finalizing the draft of the guide, translating into both French and Spanish, and then ultimately distributing the information along with a survey to monitor the impact.
If you are interested in helping this project, be sure to monitor and only use safe whale watching practices when visiting the Caribbean.
The goal of the Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders (EWCL) program is to facilitate cross-organizational networking and mentoring for emerging wildlife conservation leaders while conducting training and guiding concrete innovative conservation projects.

Inborn errors of metabolism include a vast array of disorders that are caused by deficiencies of specific enzymes or transport proteins. The goal of newborn screening is the presymptomatic diagnosis of disorders for which early treatment can reduce morbidity and mortality. State mandated newborn screening was initiated in the early 1960s to identify infants affected with phenylketonuria (PKU). Screening programs have gradually expanded to include additional inborn errors, but state mandated programs are not uniform across the United States. Until recently, the Missouri Department of Health has screened for five disorders including phenylketonuria, congenital hypothyroidism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, galactosemia and hemoglobinopathy.
During the last decade, tandem mass spectrometry has been adapted for supplemental newborn screening because it is amenable to population-wide testing for more than 30 disorders of fatty acid, organic acid and amino acid metabolism.
Results of the screening tests will be reported as normal or abnormal. If the result is abnormal, a quantitative result will be reported along with the expected ranges. Each abnormal result will also be accompanied by an interpretive comment indicating whether it is considered to be slightly elevated, elevated, or highly elevated and the suggested follow-up. In general, slightly elevated results require prompt repeat newborn screening, or if clinically indicated, diagnostic testing. For elevated and highly elevated results, the immediate diagnostic testing and consultation with a referral center are recommended.
Newborn cystic fibrosis screening is performed by utilizing a fluroimmunoassay to measure immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT). Newborns with cystic fibrosis have persistently elevated IRT levels, whereas unaffected infants may have transiently elevated levels at birth that return to normal after the first week of life. A repeat screen is requested for all infants that have elevated IRT levels on the initial newborn screen. If IRT levels are elevated on the repeat screen, the physician of record will be contacted by a cystic fibrosis center for additional follow up testing.
Biotinidase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder that results in multiple carboxylase deficiencies. Individuals with profound biotinidase deficiency have less than 10% of mean normal serum biotinidase enzyme activity, while individuals with partial biotinidase deficiency have 10%-30%. Both profound and partial biotinidase deficiencies are usually identified by newborn screening. The estimated incidence of profound and partial deficiencies is 1 in 60,000 births.
Infants with profound biotinidase deficiency appear normal at birth but develop one or more of the following symptoms after the first few weeks of life: seizures, hypotonia, ataxia, developmental delay, vision problems, hearing loss, and cutaneous abnormalities such as alopecia, skin rash and candidiasis. Once vision problems, hearing loss, and developmental delay occur, they are usually irreversible, even with biotin therapy. Individuals with partial biotinidase deficiency may have hypotonia, skin rash, and hair loss, particularly during times of stress. Children with biotinidase deficiency identified by newborn screening should remain asymptomatic if biotin therapy is instituted early and continuously maintained.
An abnormal biotinidase screening test should be confirmed by measuring biotinidase enzyme activity in serum or plasma. Biotinidase test results should be abnormal in all infants with profound or partial deficiency even if the specimen is obtained before formula or milk feeding or collected before 24 hours of age. A newborn screen should be collected prior to transfusion since transfusion may mask the deficiency.
The pros and cons of supplemental newborn screening by tandem mass spectrometry are being hotly debated. Pro-active groups, such as Savebabies.org, and parents of infants born with treatable diseases have spearheaded the development of supplemental newborn screening programs. Recent studies have associated 5% of SIDS to metabolic disorders that can be detected by supplemental screening.
However, many experts believe that tandem mass spectrometry should not be used in newborn screening until more is known about its sensitivity and specificity. Given the low prevalence of these metabolic disorders in the general population, the number of false positive results will greatly exceed the number of true positives. Sufficient resources need to be available to handle the increased number of abnormal results that will need to be further investigated. In most newborn screening programs, 75% or more of staff time is devoted to follow-up of false positive results. Once an abnormal result is obtained, additional confirmatory testing will need to be performed. Another concern is that there may not be enough pediatric specialists in the United States to evaluate all of the newborns with abnormal results in a timely manner. The issue of informed consent for supplemental screening is complicated, in part because uniformly effective therapies have not been developed for all the conditions that can be detected and because expanded screening may detect previously unrecognized disorders. Reimbursement is also problematic. Supplemental screening costs vary from $25 to $60, but consultation and confirmatory testing are much more expensive. Presently, it is unclear whether private insurance or state and federal programs will cover any of these costs.
Newborn screening includes testing for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), which is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects approximately 1 in 10,000 newborns and results in deficient secretion of cortisol. Decreased cortisol synthesis leads to elevated ACTH levels, which produces adrenal hyperplasia. Five different enzyme deficiencies can cause CAH, but deficiency of 21-alpha-hydroxylase accounts for more than 90% of cases. Impaired 21-hydroxylase activity causes deficient production of cortisol and aldosterone. Depending on the extent of the enzyme deficiency, CAH may present as either a salt losing (75% of cases) or a non-salt losing disorder during the newborn period. Both types of CAH are associated with genital abnormalities because 21-hydroxylase deficiency prevents precursor hormones, such as 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), from entering the cortisol metabolic pathway. These precursors accumulate and spill over into the androgen metabolic pathway, forming androstenedione and testosterone.
CAH screening is performed by measuring levels of 17-OHP in dried blood spots. Levels of <50 ng/mL are considered normal for a normal weight infant of 2250 grams or greater. A significant problem with CAH screening programs, is that 17-OHP levels are elevated in very low birth weight (<1500 grams) and extremely low birth weight (< 1000 grams) infants, resulting in many falsely positive results. Second Tier CAH testing is recommended for all newborns with abnormal 17-OHP screening results.
Second tier testing by tandem mass spectrometry simultaneously measures 17-OHP, androstenedione and cortisol. Patients with CAH have elevated androstenedione and low or absent cortisol. Findings of elevated 17-0HP values (>10.2 ng/mL) and a high 17-OHP + androstenedione/cortisol ratio (>2.5) support the initial abnormal screening result.

Q: Deliberatly trigger a compilation error in Visual Studio 2008 Is there a way to deliberatly trigger a compilation error when a certain condition is satisfied on Visual Studio 2008?

A: You can use the #error pre-processor feature.
You use it like such:
#ifdef WIN32
    ... code for windows
#else
    #error only windows is supported
#endif

A: In C++ you can use macros like the following to cause a compile time assert when a specified constant condition is false
#define COMPILE_ASSERT(expr) extern int __assertutil[(expr) != 0]

COMPILE_ASSERT(42 != 8);  // Fine
COMPILE_ASSERT(42 == 8);  // Error

This works because in the case that the expression is false it will have a constant value of 0.  Arrays in C++ can not have a constant size of 0 and it leads to a compilation error.

A: how about the compiler directive #error?

A: There are language specific pre-processor directives. In C#:
#define DEBUG class MainClass  {
    static void Main()
    {
#if DEBUG
#error DEBUG is defined
#endif
    }
}

From MSDN.

A: int i = (float)(5.0);

A: I wonder if you're looking for a way to validate the source code before compilation. If so, you could use a pre-build step and fail it (exit with a code other than 0) to abort compilation.

Surface Preparation … Remove foreign substances, incompressibles, and free water from joint opening. For proper adhesion, joints must be clean and dry. Dust, dirt, and laitance should be removed prior to application. Concrete should be completely cured and free from all foreign materials and contamination from curing agents. (Industry accepted standard for curing concrete is 28 days.) To maintain cleanliness around the joint to be sealed, apply masking tape 2″ wide to the surfaces adjoining both sides of the joint before P/G PRIMER and/or DECK-O-SEAL GUN GRADE are applied.
Priming … DECK-O-SEAL GUN GRADE adheres well to unprimed concrete; however, P/G PRIMER is recommended for optimum adhesion. P/G PRIMER is required for all joints subjected to hydrostatic pressure, submerged underwater, and/or joints over 1″ (25.4 mm) in width.
Joint Sizes … Proper joint design practices and application techniques must be followed for successful performance. DECK-O-FOAM® or KOOL-ROD™ from W. R. MEADOWS may be used as a joint backing material to control sealant depth and provide proper joint configuration. For larger joints, use a non-asphalt joint filler, such as CORK EXPANSION JOINT from W. R. MEADOWS, in the joint before sealing. A 2:1 width-to-depth ratio should be maintained. However, in no case should joint sealant depth be less than 1/4″ (6.4 mm) or exceed 1/2″ (12.7 mm). DECK-O-SEAL GUN GRADE should NOT be used in joints less than 1/4″ (6.4 mm) wide.
Mixing … DECK-O-SEAL GUN GRADE is supplied in pre-measured kits with a ratio of setting agent to base, which must be maintained. Store and mix in a cool, shaded area. Do not mix until ready to use. (Product cannot be re-sealed for future use.) De-rim both cans with a can opener. Pour the setting agent into the base and mix slowly. To aid in proper mixing, scrape material from the sides and bottom of the container until a uniform color is obtained. Continue for a recommended 10 minutes, minimum. A slow-speed drill can be used. Care must be taken to ensure that the entire setting agent is thoroughly blended with the base component. Avoid trapping air in the sealant.
Application Method … At 77° F (25° C) and 30% relative humidity, application life is approximately one hour. Apply thoroughly blended material with a hand- or air-operated caulking gun, putty knife, or trowel. Tool sealant beads with tools wetted with clean water. Handgun application is most effective at temperatures of 60˚ F (15.6°) or higher. Air-operated equipment is effective at temperatures as low as 40˚ F (4.4°). DECK-O-SEAL GUN GRADE will set firm and rubbery within 24 hours at 77° F (25° C). At lower temperatures, curing time may take longer.
Cleanup … Application equipment should be cleaned promptly with xylene or toluene. Joints may be taped for neatness and to minimize any cleaning requirements. Avoid contact with skin. Wash with soap and water immediately if contact should occur. Refer to Safety Data Sheet complete health and safety information.

Q: Shouldn't the Content in ForEach conform to View Shouldn't the Content in ForEach conform to View ?
Here ForEach is defined as

Now I was really certain that it should be declared as:
struct ForEach<Data, ID, Content> where Data: RandomAccessCollection, ID: Hashable,    Content: View

So I kept searching and found this:

So now my question is:
Can Generics be defined somewhere else in the pipeline or is this a mistake in the documentation

A: Here is an extension that makes generic ForEach is-a View with content as views
@available(iOS 13.0, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13.0, watchOS 6.0, *)
extension ForEach : View where Content : View {

    /// The type of view representing the body of this view.
    ///
    /// When you create a custom view, Swift infers this type from your
    /// implementation of the required `body` property.
    public typealias Body = Never
}

A: There is no mistake, both are correct, when you want use ForEach you have to take decision that you are going use Data or Range! If you want use Data, then you have to provide ID that passed Hashable protocol, but when you decide that you better use Range, in this case you have use Int or \.self
Also in both case you have to pass View/some View as Content to your ForEach.
and you can use both world together with enumerated method.

Life cycle assessment for combined-cycle power plants
Ansaldo Energia, on a joint basis with Genoa University, has embarked on a life cycle analysis of a turnkey 800 MW CCGT power plant. This article presents the results of the preliminary analysis and the tool for calculating the environmental impact of a combined cycle power plant.
S. Henry, F. Oliva, P. Giribone, Ansaldo Energia, Italy
Concern for the environment and all issues linked to respect for earth's ecosystems are of the greatest importance in current debate, both among the public at large as well as in scientific and industrial circles.
In industry, this attention is being transformed into growing support for eco-compatible design techniques, for the certification of systems (like ISO 14001) and products (EPD, Ecolabel), and for methods of environmental analysis that assess the "environmental impact" of products/services supplied. These environmental policies are paid for, particularly in developed world countries, by benefits in terms of both internal and external image, as well as by the possibility of bidding for contracts that specifically require the use of these techniques (increasingly the case).
Finnmeccia's Ansaldo Energia is constantly striving to improve its environmental performance, not least by optimizing the use of natural resources and raw materials in corporate production processes, guaranteeing respect for ecology and consideration for the environment as an integral part of the general policies and strategy applied by the company to all its activities.
The LCA was defined in 1990 during the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry Congress (SETAC) in Vermont as "an objective procedure to assess the energy and environmental impact of a process or activity, by identifying the energy and materials used and the waste released into the environment". The assessment covers the entire life cycle of the process, starting from the extraction and transportation of raw materials.
The European Community recognized the growing interest in these issues, culminating in the publication of the ISO 14040 series, which describes the principles and reference framework for life cycle assessment. The proposed structure of the regulations is divided into four successive phases:
Goal defining and scoping: defining the subject of the study, the scope of the systems being analysed, the reasons for the limits and assumptions, the data-gathering method and so on
Life cycle inventory (LCI): analysing life cycle phases to build a model of the environmental impact of each of them in terms of the raw materials and energy consumed, and the waste and emissions released

Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA): linking the consumption and waste/emissions calculated in the second phase to a particular environmental impact (the greenhouse effect or acidification, for example), and therefore transforming the raw data into an objective indicator of environmental risk
Life cycle interpretation: the concluding phase, during which results are analysed to propose improvements to reduce environmental impact, assessed in terms of LCA to verify that they really do reduce the global impact of the system.
How Ansaldo Energia performs LCA
Ansaldo Energia, on a joint basis with the Department of Production Engineering, Thermoenergy and Mathematical Models at Genoa University, has embarked on the LCA analysis of an 800 MW combined cycle power generation plant for turnkey delivery, which means that Ansaldo Energia is responsible for the design, construction and commissioning of the entire plant.
The sample plant selected is a power station comprising two identical 400 MW units, each consisting of a V94.3A gas turbine coupled to an air-cooled generator; a heat recovery steam generator; a steam turbine with its own generator unit, also air-cooled, and step-up transformers; and an air condenser. Each has their own auxiliaries (pumping station, oil casings and so on). An area for shared auxiliaries is located next to the two units, including the gas reduction station, the demineralised water production plant and the control systems.
The contribution of a plant's life cycle phases to its environmental impact.Click here to enlarge image
Special attention was focused on the plant's end-of-life period, with the aim of restoring the site to the greenfield conditions present before construction. As much as possible was also done, given the technology available and economic feasibility, to recover as much material as possible for the "secondary" raw material market.
The life cycle of the plant was then broken down into its component phases and for each of them the various groups of inputs (mainly raw materials and energy) and outputs (mainly emissions and waste) that contribute to their environmental impact were identified.
Study of auxiliary phase operation
As the main aim of the study is to assess the typical impact of a plant during auxiliary phases rather than in-service operation, it was decided to exclude the impact associated with generating electric power by burning natural gas from the analysis, primarily because the amount of fuel consumed in the 30-year life cycle considered is greater by several orders of magnitude than that of any other material or consumption in other life cycle phases.
In addition, reducing the impact of combustion means primarily improving machine efficiency, which is already pursued for technical, economic, market and environmental, reasons. Furthermore, in-service operation is already regulated by national and international legislation, requiring that emissions of certain critical gases, such as CO and NOx, be maintained below a set value, and this ensures that exhaust gases are constantly monitored and improved.
Each individual phase in the life cycle has been analyzed in detail using primary data wherever possible, in other words data gathered in the field from engineering offices, internal workshops, the suppliers of the main components and the work site. Given the huge amount of components and materials involved, only the main components in terms of weight and function have been considered (a total of about 22 000 tonnes of material) and the main materials used or consumed at the work site (more than 106 000 tonnes).
Impact of decomissioning phase
Boustead Model v5 software was then used to calculate mental impacts of energy consumption, global warming and acidification, expressed as a percentage of the total.
An analysis of the results obtained from impact assessment reveals that start-up is the life cycle phase with the greatest environmental impact. To understand the reasons for this environmental cost, the various operations in the phases were analyzed individually to discover which makes a high contribution to energy consumption and the greenhouse effect.
At the end of this study it was found that natural gas combustion linked to the start-up of the gas turbine during, for example, the cleaning of the steam generator piping, was the main activity from both points of view, confirming initial considerations that led to in-service combustion being excluded from the study.
The response to this result took the form of a series of internal activities and projects, such as participation in the European Community technology project Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants.
Analyzing the results
On completion of the LCA analysis on the sample plant, the results obtained were used as the point of departure to "build" a method addressed to calculating the energy and environmental impact of the life cycle of a combined cycle power plant designed and built by Ansaldo Energia.
This method will make it possible to obtain results about the environmental cost of plants much faster than is possible with a full LCA, as long, of course, as the components involved are of the same type and approximately the same size as those in the sample plant.
However, it should be remembered that there are only a few manufacturers in the world capable of producing components for projects of this type, particularly the most important ones, and so the same suppliers are often involved.
The main power station components (turbines, electrical machines, cooling cycle, large transformers, feed pumps, auxiliary components, and so on) are also mainly a function of plant features (output, gas turbine characteristics, closed cycle characteristics, environmental conditions), which can be regarded as standard apart from minimal deviations mainly linked to the geographical location of the plant. However, these translate into variations for components that are negligible in terms of environmental impact.
A sensitivity analysis was performed on each phase in the life cycle based on results obtained using data from various plants, all combined cycles, but with different configurations or layouts. The output of this analysis work, combined with the results of the LCA performed on the sample plant, was processed to create the environmental impact computation method for a power generation plant, which reduces both the time and resources needed to perform an environmental study and significantly simplifies data collection.
This method can be used at two points in a plant's life cycle: in the bid phase, using forecast data or specially created internal databases to provide customers with another parameter against which to compare different design or operation choices, and then afterwards, using actual data to calculate environmental impact. Internally, the tool will help designers assess different design options. In both cases, the model requires less input than a full LCA.
This information can be found in contracts or estimated/actual data, minimizing the number of resources needed to perform the analysis, at the same time as significantly reducing the time needed to collect data, which is the most critical activity in the performance of a full environmental analysis.
Once the method had been defined, it was validated by applying it to the same plant on which the full study had been performed, in order to compare results and check for any significant differences and their causes. The percentage differences are minimal, less even than 1 per cent in the case of the global impact of the entire life cycle in two of the environmental impacts considered.
The method can therefore be considered valid. The only significant difference is in the transport phase: the causes of this discrepancy are easy to identify, because while in the LCA study the number of haulage journeys was obtained from work site entry slips, the software calculates the number of journeys by dividing the total weight by the capacity of the means of transport used, so obtaining the "ideal" number of journeys needed, which will in fact be much higher.
As obtaining information from the site is both fairly difficult and not immediate, it seems inevitable that we have to accept some uncertainty in the final result generated by this phase, particularly considering that its impact on the overall result is minimal.
The method developed by Ansaldo Energia to calculate the environmental impact associated with the life cycle of a power plant satisfies the need to reduce the time and amount of data needed to complete an environmental analysis compared with a full LCA.
This makes it possible to calculate impact in a timescale that is compatible with the bidding and basic design processes, using either estimated data or extracting the information necessary from constantly updated internal databases, or alternatively actual data for the various phases of the project. This in turn provides customer with a useful tool to present the environmental impact information needed to obtain permits to begin production and in-house designers with useful information for any peer reviews of the project.

How to count external pulses with SCTimer?
Ugh! All I want to do is configure the SCT peripheral to count rising edges of a tach signal that is input on a pin. I would like to read the count periodically to determine the RPM of a motor. I don't need all these states and transitions! As is often the case with fancy peripherals, it seems the simplest uses get no documentation!
So far, this is the extent of my code; the count never seems to change. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
*   • Write zero to the STATE register (zero is the default).
*     never changes while the counter is running.
I don't need all these states and transitions!
If you say so. Then you have my deep respect, because you obviously plan to use some fancy modwrap-math to calculate the speed totally asynchronous from the difference of the counts c1,c2 at two different times t1,t2, determined by some hardware timer 'T'.
Ofcourse you don't have to use state logic if you don't like or your application doesn't demand it.
The SCT is very flexible peripheral, but that also means you need to configure it properly.
Looking at what you are trying to achive with few lines of code, would like to raise few flags/concerns.
- Are you enabling clocks to Switch Matrix, GPIO & IOCON blocks? If not, please do so.
- Program PINASSIGN5 or PINASSIGN56 register for CTIN function assigment on a particular pin.

BOTTOMFEEDERS
With the gradual return of vintage commodities (polaroids and vinyl to name the most popular) there has also been an undeniable surfacing of bands with sounds nostalgic of older times. Bottomfeeders exemplifies this through their music, particularly so in their self titled LP.
The New Orleans based band - comprised of Chris Lyons (Guitar, Vocals), Bradley Morris (Guitar), Lucas Bogner (Drums), and Alex Zilinski (Bass) - recently released Bottomfeeders through Good Land Records and will also be releasing it on tape through Dumpster Tapes. This LP is 10 tracks of pure high energy with an unmistakable retro feel that's somewhat hard to put a decade to (but if necessary, the most distinct likely being 70s).
If one were to take a listen to Bottomfeeder's discography (as I did), you'd notice that with each release the band has increased its tempo, resulting in the latest LP reaching a speed that exudes a bouncing-off-the-walls kind of liveliness. A good listener would also note that the earlier mentioned old-school vibe has always been present in the band's sound, from the steady yet dynamic drums to the vivacious guitar parts to Lyons' howling vocals that still hold a charismatic feel.
This release, however, tinkers with meshing a mix of genres, an underlying one being surf rock. In some songs the guitar embodies garage/rock n roll as it teeters towards fast and fuzzy (like in "Crust Fund") while in others it's has more of a classic rurf Rock kind of bounce (like in "Isolation").
The only critique that could really be given to this LP is that some tracks do tend to meld into one another, as there isn't too much individuality or distinguishing factors among them.
Nonetheless, Bottomfeeders still does a great job of making songs that grab the listener by the ear and demand attention.

Let Us Get $18 Million and Let Them Eat Cake: The Neobourgeoisie of South Sudan
Posted: July 26, 2018 by mayendengdit in Junub Sudan, Mayen Ayarbior
By David Mayen Dengdit, Denver-Colorado, USA
Thursday, July 26, 2018 (PW) — The famous phrase "Let them eat cake" has been used in revolutionary rhetoric to depict a state of total disconnect between the rulers and the ruled which precedes revolutionary overthrow of governments. It was made by Marie Antoinette (wife of King Louis of France). When she was informed about a deadly famine in the kingdom and miserable state of the peasants which reached the extent that they had no bread to feed their starving children, she replied: Let them eat cake!
That disconnect with the suffering of the people triggered the greatest revolution in modern history: The French Revolution 1789, which led to the storming of the presidential palace, abolishing of the monarchy, ousting of King Louis XVI and establishment of "The Republic." Of all those events, the most important was the issuing of "The Declaration of the Rights of Man [meaning human at that time] and of the Citizen."
In that connection, over three centuries later news have trickled from Juba that Members of Parliament were given $40,000 each for buying cars and houses. This move has incensed South Sudanese everywhere in the world, particularly ordinary citizens within the country, refugees, IDPs, civil servants, and members of security organs. (more…)
Atem Yaak Atem: Lies about South Sudanese gaining ground rapidly (Part 1)
Posted: July 26, 2018 by PaanLuel Wël Media Ltd. in Atem Yaak Atem, Junub Sudan
By Atem Yaak Atem, Sydney, Australia
Thursday, 26 July 2018 (PW) — It was the Nazi German propaganda minister, Paul Joseph Goebbels, who once said "A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth". Falsehoods about South Sudan abound. The perception by outsiders about the country's political leaders, and by extension the entire people, is getting more negative especially after the outbreak of the armed conflict in 2013. The five-year long civil war is universally attributed, even by the protagonists themselves, to power struggle within the "then" ruling SPLM, the political component that spearheaded the armed struggle from 1983-2005.
We frequently read and hear unflattering description of ourselves as a deeply divided, insensitive, greedy for power, barbaric, incompetent and myopic, lot. This tainted image of who we are or assumed to be, comes from the regional and international news media, from our own politicians and from Sudan's ruling National Congress Party, its leaders and their apologists. Although there is some truth in that judgement, the profile does not separate the wheat from the chaff. The projection therefore suffers from gross generalisation. The vast majority of South Sudanese including a sizeable number within members of educated elite, are among the best people one would wish to have around as compatriots, neighbours or members of international community of nations. But that is a topic for another day and another forum. (more…)
The July 1995 Nzara demonstration that altered the course of South Sudan history

Today in history: The July 26, 1995 Nzara demonstration that heralded the August 18, 1955 Torit Mutiny and altered the course of South Sudan history
Thursday, July 26, 2018 (PW) — On July 26, 1955, a demonstration took place in the small village of Nzara in the Zande District of Equatoria Province. The demonstration would alter the course of Southern Sudan history. A month earlier, the Equatoria Projects Board managed by the Sudan government had dismissed 300 Southern Sudanese from the Zande cotton scheme and hired Northern Sudanese to replace them.
During this period, Northern Sudanese were occupying administrative positions across the Southern region that was once held by the British and other European nationalities; this certainly gave the impression to Southerners they were losing jobs to Northerners.
On the morning of July 26, sixty of the Southern workers who had not been dismissed threatened to strike if they did not receive a pay increase for their labor. A crowd of 250 people which included Southern workers who were still employed at the cotton factory and those who had been dismissed staged a demonstration. (more…)
South Sudan: A Crucified Nation on the Cross of SPLM Philosophy of Liberationism
Posted: July 26, 2018 by PaanLuel Wël Media Ltd. in Junub Sudan, Opinion Articles, Opinion Writers
By Gabriel Kucdit Kachuol, Nairobi, Kenya
Thursday, July 26, 2018 (PW) — By definition, the SPLM/A philosophy of liberationism is the abuse of historical devotion and trust of South Sudanese masses to the SPLM/A. In other words, it's a betrayal of public massive trust, support and mandate; in fact, a cross upon which the nascent African nation, South Sudan, has been crucified. I entreat my readers to reflectively and critically examine the validity of this definition in my proceeding argument from which I derived the definition.
The Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), whose liberation struggles gave birth to South Sudan as an independent African nation is the ruling party of South Sudan with two inseparable wings: SPLM (political wing) and SPLA (military wing). First, it's pertinent to note that the two wings are indistinguishably fused as of wine and water. Second, it is also important to distinguish between the first SPLM/A tier (1983-2005) and the second tier which can be called post-independent SPLM/A of "abekweu." (more…)
JMEC CONDEMNS ATTACK ON AID WORKERS IN MABAN CAMP
Posted: July 26, 2018 by PaanLuel Wël Media Ltd. in JMEC, Junub Sudan
Wednesday July 25, 2018, Juba, South Sudan
JMEC CHAIRMAN: "THE ONLY OFFENSIVE SOUTH SUDAN NEEDS RIGHT NOW IS A PEACE OFFENSIVE."
The Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC) expresses its outrage and strongly condemns the attack on humanitarian workers and the destruction of facilities and equipment at the Maban camp, in Northern Upper Nile.
Attacks on aid workers who diligently offer their services to alleviate the suffering of people of South Sudan, are deeply regrettable and indeed a violation of the Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities, Protection of Civilians and Humanitarian Access signed in December 2017.
Unfortunately, this is one of the many other attacks that targeted aid workers in the country in the recent past, including killings of personnel.
JMEC calls on the authorities to carry out an independent investigation into the attack and to hold those responsible to account.
CEPO: Parliamentarians should provide more clarity on the $18 million "bonus"
Posted: July 26, 2018 by PaanLuel Wël Media Ltd. in CEPO, Economy, Junub Sudan
National Legislatures/Parliamentarians Receive Bonus of $18 Million in Juba
Thursday, July 26, 2018 (PW) — South Sudan's MPs, who are among the poorest-paid in the region, have received a "bonus" worth as much as $18 million in Juba. The bonus was quietly awarded to the lawmakers in the capital Juba this week, and comes two weeks after they extended the government and the President term in office until 2021.
The lump sum worth $39,000 for each MP from the two houses of parliament could take an average South Sudanese worker several years to earn what each MP has been given.
Community Empowerment for Progress Organization is concern about the lack of proper/accurate information to the public about the purpose of the amount of 18 million USD given to the national parliamentarians from National Parliament and Council of States called "Bonus for parliamentarians". Bonus for parliamentarians for what action?
Mr. Edmund Yakani, Executive Director of CEPO says the leadership of the parliament needs to inform the public about the purpose of the received 18 million USD as bonus for parliamentarians. (more…)

«Христос среди учителей» — картина Альбрехта Дюрера, написанная им в Венеции в 1506 году. В настоящее время находится в музее Тиссена-Борнемисы в Мадриде.

История создания

Картина датирована самим Дюрером и создана, согласно надписи Opus Quinque Dierum («Сделано в пять дней»), в ту пору, когда художник работал над алтарным образом «Праздник венков из роз». 23 сентября 1506 года Дюрер писал из Венеции своему другу Пиркгеймеру: «Узнайте также, что моя алтарная картина ["Праздник венков из роз"] готова, и ещё другая картина, подобной которой я никогда не делал». Эту «другую картину» некоторые исследователи отождествляют с произведением «Христос среди учителей». Согласно некоторым источникам, картина предназначалась в подарок художнику Джованни Беллини, с которым у Дюрера сложились очень тёплые отношения. Вероятно, в доме Беллини работу Дюрера видел Лоренцо Лотто, который ввёл одну из фигур учителей в композицию своей «Мадонны с младенцем между святыми Игнатием Антиохским и Онуфрием» (Галерея Боргезе, Рим). Дюрер обращался к этой теме ранее в полиптихе «Семь скорбей Марии» (ок. 1500), а несколько позднее — в серии гравюр «Жизнь Марии» (1511), однако композиция венецианской картины имеет принципиально другое строение.

Сюжет
Этот эпизод из жизни Иисуса — единственное из событий между Рождеством и началом его общественного служения, получившее освещение в канонических Евангелиях (). Иосиф, Мария и двенадцатилетний Иисус прибыли в Иерусалим на празднование Пасхи. Когда пришло время возвращения домой, Иисус остался в Иерусалиме. После трёхдневных поисков обеспокоенные родители находят его в Иерусалиме в Храме за диспутом с учёными мудрецами:Через три дня нашли Его в храме, сидящего посреди учителей, слушающего их и спрашивающего их; все слушавшие Его дивились разуму и ответам Его ().

Композиция

Художник избрал момент беседы с учителями. Он отказывается от детализации и, изображая крупным планом лица мудрецов и Христа, заставляет почувствовать «напряжение диспута». Центр композиции — руки Иисуса, уверенно ведущего счёт своим аргументам в беседе и руки одного из учителей, свидетельствующие о «нервозности и смущении». Яркая карикатурная внешность этого мудреца, возможно, отражает влияние одного из рисунков Леонардо да Винчи, увиденных Дюрером. К головному убору ещё одного из собеседников Иисуса по обычаю фарисеев прикреплён картуш с библейским текстом. Среди многочисленных интерпретаций внешнего вида мудрецов существует предположение о том, что Дюрер проиллюстрировал теорию о четырёх темпераментах, лежащих в основе человеческих характеров.
