Recently people on social media rejoiced over the birth of a newborn dolphin calf at Monkey Mia — then less than a month later it was dead.
It is estimated there are 45 'inshore dolphins' at Monkey Mia
In the past five years, five calves have been born, two of which have died
Typically five to seven dolphins participate in the provisioned program
The death is the latest blow for the West Australian tourism drawcard, which has operated for more than 50 years and is down to its last two handfed dolphins.
The destination is located within the Shark Bay World Heritage Area about 850km north of Perth and is run by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA).
In the past five years, DBCA has failed to recruit a wild dolphin to the experience.
Moreover, since 2018 more than 50 per cent of the handfed dolphins have died.
With no signs of the death toll slowing down, researchers are divided on whether the provisioned program is contributing.

What does the past tell us about survival rates?
In the 1980s, the feeding of dolphins was not regulated closely and it had deleterious impacts on the original three provisioned families.
Dependence on handfed food and neglect of calves was rampant and mortality skyrocketed to 90 per cent of calves failing to reach adulthood.
Shark Bay Dolphin Project lead professor Janet Mann watched it all unfold as she began to study more than 1,800 individual dolphins in the area.
Soon after, Professor Mann said scientific findings allowed them to implement change.
"It was a success, and instead of 90 per cent of the calves dying, 90 per cent of calves survived," Professor Mann said.
The DBCA has failed to recruit any new wild dolphins to the handfeeding program since 2017. (ABC Pilbara: James Liveris)
However, Professor Mann said, to date, there were still impacts from provisioning the wild animals.
"Provisioned dolphins have very small home ranges that they hunt in, which continues to shrink," Professor Mann said.
"It is a fraction of the size of the non-provisioned, who have a better chance to explore and know their environment more broadly and have, I think, a better chance."
Bottlenose dolphins' life expectancy is about 40 years.
The cause of death varied for each provisioned dolphin at the Monkey Mia Experience.
Separate contributing factors included old age, seagrass die off, and inability to adapt to the wild.
The experience is now down to one family.

Professor Mann said she believed the Monkey Mia Experience was not at risk of collapse.
"All that is left is Puck's line, which seems to be to doing reasonably well under the provisioning," Professor Mann said.
"Because there are enough surviving offspring from those matrilines, I think it will continue."
A DBCA spokesperson said plans were currently being reviewed to increase the number of dolphins participating in the experience.
For ecological sustainable reasons, the program has a limited number of individuals that are fed.
Academics collide over 'handfeeding'

Although strict practices are in place to ensure the welfare of provisioned dolphins, one marine biologist says handfed programs need to stop.
Further south of WA at the Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Centre Experience, a grim reality is playing out.
Murdoch University researcher Valeria Senigaglia said the odds were stacked against the dolphins.
"In Bunbury, about 38 per cent of calves born to a provisioned mother reach independence, which is equal to two and three years of age," she said.
"Compared to calves born to non-provisioned females, who have a survival rate of 77 per cent — more than double the likelihood of surviving."
Dr Senigaglia said it was a dire situation.
"It seems that being provisioned by humans, especially at the Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Centre, is the most influential factor that determines or is associated with the low reproductive success," she said.
There are typically between five to seven dolphins that attend the handfed experience. Only two dolphins currently participate in the experience. (ABC Pilbara: James Liveris)
At Monkey Mia, dolphins are offered about 10 per cent of their fish dietary requirements to ensure they do not become dependent on the program and continue to maintain their natural foraging behaviours.
Dr Senigaglia said stopping provisional programs would be beneficial, but it would take the whole community to get on board.
"Whether handfeeding will stop altogether, or they will find an alternative way to keep the attraction going given the high revenue it has provided the region until now … is really hard to predict."
Addressing the elephant in the room

Late last year, Kiya visited the dolphin experience without her three-week-old calf, which scientists said was a strong indication the calf had not survived.
Dolphin calf mortality is generally high in Shark Bay due to the large tiger shark population in the summer months coinciding with the dolphin breeding season.
Whether the dolphins are more vulnerable from handfeeding, the jury is still out.
However, about 75 per cent of adult bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay exhibit shark bite scars.
Professor Mann said shark attacks among adult females with young calves was the highest.
"In Shark Bay, females have a surviving calf on average about one in every eight years."

Last week, Bisnow reported on the changing look of the modern law office. No longer palatial structures with marble floors, Persian-rugged corner offices and mahogany conference room tables designed to impress clients and intimidate opposing counsel, today's law offices resemble high tech firms with sparsely furnished, open layouts, fishbowl offices and brightly lit collaboration spaces. Several factors account for the transformation, continues Bisnow . Few clients meet lawyers (at least big law attorneys) on their home turf so there's no one to impress. And many lawyers spend more time working from home, and check in at the office just a few hours a day or day and don't need a full-time space. Finally, with most research resources and client files all going digital, firms can downsize by eliminating the library and file room.
Similar options exist today for solo and small firms. When I started my firm back in the dark ages, the only spaces that I could afford were dark holes with carpets reeking of cigarette smoke. Eventually, I leased virtual office space where the offices were equally unattractive but at least clean and with one impressive conference room where I typically met with clients. But today, a big-law modern office can be had on a dime at co-working facilities that populate most major cities where rents tend to be high. One of my colleagues and small law firm owner, Jordan Rushie describes his experience at a WeWork facility in Philadelphia. I moved into similar space a few years back when my husband was ill since it gave me the flexibility to work out of multiple offices including one close to home – but I've stayed because I love the community vibe and comfortable work space (though I have a private office, you can often find me working in the many different alcoves around the office for change of pace).
Looking back, I wonder why we lawyers, particularly solos and smalls – have always put ourselves in such uncomfortable and dated surroundings. Is it what our clients expected of us? Or is it what we ourselves thought was important? Since I run a national firm, I have the luxury of putting my needs first when it comes to office space, since it's rare for clients to visit me – and since many of my clients are small renewable energy companies or somewhat sophisticated, the space usually appeals to them. I'm not sure the same would be true to clients whose only experience with lawyers comes from television shows like Allie McBeal or Suits.
Has your attitude towards office space changed over time? How does your space look different today than a decade ago? Join the comments below.

Q: Countable set of finite sets is countable (without the axiom of choice). So i have the infinite family of sets:
$$\{A_0, A_1, A_2 \dots\}$$
and $\forall i \in \omega,\; A_i$ is finite. I need to show that $\cup A_i$ is countable  ($\exists f: \cup A_i \rightarrow \omega $ and f is bijection).
I seem to understand it intuitively, but I can't prove it. I also don't have to use the axiom of choice. Any tips ?

A: Proof with axiom of choice :
For every $i \geq 0$, let $\varphi_i : A_i \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ be an injective map. Define
$\varphi : \bigcup_{i \geq 0} A_i \rightarrow \mathbb{N}^2$ by
$$\varphi(x)=(i_0, \varphi_{i_0}(x))$$
where $i_0$ is any integer such that $x \in A_{i_0}$. Then it is easy to see that $\varphi$ is injective.
It remains to compose $\varphi$ with an injective map $\mathbb{N}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ (which is easy to construct) to get an injection from $\bigcup_{i \geq 0} A_i $ to $\mathbb{N}$, which let you conclude that $\bigcup_{i \geq 0} A_i $ is countable.

A: This statement cannot be proven without appeal to axiom of choice. To be precise, it is consistent with ZF axioms that there is a countable family of sets $A_0,A_1,A_2,\dots$ such that each $A_i$ has two elements, and yet $\bigcup_{i\in\omega}A_i$ is not countable. Families of sets like that are sometimes known as "Russell's socks", because of the relation to (in)famous analogy about how you can't pick out socks from infinitely many pairs of socks without using the axiom of choice.
You can find this result and more interesting results concerning Russell's socks in this paper by Herrlich and Tachtsis.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Getting into a shopper's cart is quite possibly the most important step for every product, but it's becoming more difficult when the options are nearly endless for shoppers when it comes to what, where and how to buy. Shelf Management: The Value of Space Done Right, a new report from Acosta — a leading full-service sales and marketing agency in the consumer packaged goods industry — explores the dynamics of this topic and explains why and how to employ a comprehensive strategy.
Manufacturers spend $100 billion annually on promotions versus $300 million on shelf management, yet shelf management represents 66% of sales and 85% of profits.
While the industry has experienced a decline in lift from promotional tactics over the past several years, "fixing the shelf" achieves a six percent sales lift.
Fifty-five percent of shoppers decide which brand to buy in-store, with common in-store purchasing decisions made about spices/seasonings, cookies, meat marinades/rubs, chocolate candy and tuna.
Private brands tend to receive more shelf space than they deserve and are 11% over-spaced on average, which can have a negative impact on productivity and out-of-stocks.
As the perimeter of the store continues to gain in popularity, many retailers have responded by decreasing the size of center store to give more space for areas such as delis, prepared foods, organic foods and fresh produce.
Retailers have reacted to the rise of e-commerce in several ways, including offering grocery pick-up services and offering less assortment in-store and an expanded assortment online.
Virtual shopping research tracks shopper responses to a digitally-created shopping experience to find the optimal balance between speed, cost and accuracy.
Simulated eye tracking predicts what shoppers will see in the first three to five seconds of shopping and can influence what the shopper ultimately purchases from the shelf.
Trax technology captures everything a shopper would see in-store, then digitizes shelf images down to the SKU level to minimize out-of-stocks (estimated at $54 billion in lost sales), ensure effective in-store execution/pricing and see what competitors are doing at the shelf.
Acosta's 2018 Shelf Management: The Value of Space Done Right report was compiled from a variety of Acosta's resources including an online survey of the company's proprietary shopper community. To access the full report, visit www.acosta.com/news.

Geoff, you shouldn't need to change anything in BIOS, your SSD will be recognized as a storage device and the faster data speeds will come from the way it fetches data internally.
In terms of Windows software, it should work just fine without you having to install anything on it, but Samsung may provide some software to try to optimize data to either make access quicker, or to extend the life of your drive by minimizing read and write access. You don't really need it, but since you have it already, you might as well take advantage of it, if it's not too intrusive.
There's a chance that Samsung is also providing you with a migration assistant, since you want to make the bootup process faster, this drive should be your main Windows drive (the one where Windows resides), and if Samsung can make porting Windows and all your settings easy, then why not let them? The last version we saw of a Samsung product to facilitate data migration between old and new drives was called "Samsung Data Migration" so… you can't really miss it.
There are benefits to changing the SATA mode to AHCI in the BIOS, specifically increased read rates when using apps that lean heavily on multi-threading — they're doing a lot of stuff behind the scenes at the same time. We're talking video editing, 3D rendering, heavy duty stuff. If that's important to you, install the SSD, switch to AHCI, and do a fresh install of Windows. If all you care about is booting quickly and launching apps faster, don't bother.

Welcome to St. Finbarr's BNS
HSE Letter for Christmas
Merry Christmas From St. Finbarr's!
Hamper Winners!
St. Finbarr's BNS is a school for boys from Junior Infants to Sixth Class. We are situated on Kilkieran Road, Cabra West.
St. Finbarr's is a DEIS Band 1 school which allows for smaller class sizes, school completion programme and increased supports and resources. The ethos of our school is to foster the full potential of all our students in caring and supportive environment. The school was opened in 1943 and is under the patronage of the Archbishop of Dublin. We celebrated our 75th birthday in 2019.
We are a catholic school and promote the development of our boys both academically, spiritually, emotionally and socially. While St. Finbarr's is a school with a Catholic ethos, it also gives due recognition to all other religions and cultures. Our aim is to provide our boys with the tools they need to participate fully within society. Sacramental preparation, involving the home, the school and the parish is undertaken by the teachers and Sr. Philomena, who is based in the parish.
We have 9 teachers, an administrative principal, four Learning Support/Resource teachers, a Home School Liaison teacher, 7 SNAs and a School Completion Coordinator.
As a feeder school for St. Declan's College, sixth class pupils usually transfer there for their secondary school education. Cabra Community College have been enrolling first year students since September 2013.
We have a Dublin Bus bursary which is awarded to our Student of the Year annually. This bursary is awarded each year to our pupils who remain in secondary school, as we strongly encourage all of our pupils to complete their education in secondary school. EBS awards are given to the pupil of the year in each class and we celebrate this in June at an Award ceremony in the school.
Pastoral care is a core element of our school, and parents are always welcome to actively participate in school life.
Our school has a Home School Liaison coordinator and parents are encouraged to participate in activities both for themselves and for their children
We have forged a number of links with industry over the last number of years, such as Intel and IBM. Our school has benefited greatly from these links, being awarded a number of very high spec computers for the children.
Other strong links that we have maintained are with Dublin City University. A number of our boys have participated in the CTY programmes and the Mission V interactive learning programme. We have regular contact with their Access programme.

Tarren, Josh & Tom - Video Game
Tarren, Josh, and Tom collaborated to make an early access video game, titled Left. It is a 32-bit storytelling thriller focused on a man who lost his wife to the terrors of war. The game's main topic is dealing with mental struggles of the survivors of a terrible event. Throughout the game, the player meets various personalities that affect the protaganist's outlook on the world.
The game has a soundtrack developed by Josh, who also produced the plot of the game. Tarren coded developed various game mechanics to increase the flow of the plot and gameplay (such as an inventory system, text box system for dialogue, sprite movement, and collision). Tom created all thirty environments and five characters in the game. He also created a website to promote the game and allow users to download the game.

I have to say I changed my mind after hearing this music in a more receptible state of mind. It's actually good.

Cheesy?
Never thought I'd hear his tunes being described like that.
I was wondering about that too...
p(sy)ayam
Can you be more specific?
on like half of the tracks i like the 2nd half of the song but fuckin love it when it builds up :posford: :posford: :posford:
so, i should say, i didn't mean cheesy, but when i listen to music i want to sit back on my chair, close my eyes, and go to a journey until the last song...this album is really trippy but every now and then it makes me to open my eyes !!!!! (sorry it's a bit hard to express my feelings in a language other than my native)
after 2 more listens: 8/10
Well, not a full review.
The album starts in a style very similar to the previous album (Artifakts II, a masterpiece). #1 LCD is an amazing intro. I kind of wish he'd made a full 7-9 minute track based on the LCD melody. #2 Bulk could easily have come from Artifakts II, with a style similar to Plastics... amazing. #3 Crystal is weird, yet great. Sounds a bit like.. Artifakt meets Ka-Sol's lighter side?
#4 Psylocibin might be the best track on this album, once you get used to the incredibly strange vocal samples! By ca na mem ba? or something? An incredible bass line envelopes this entire track. It's a bit drum'n'base at times.. and the melodic part is just touching.
#5 Macbeth is a concept piece, but done just wonderfully.. once again, I can't help but wondering what a full track would've sounded like.
#6 is very foresty.. kind of reminds me of Principle of Flights' style. And then there's the piano piece...
#7 didn't leave any impression on me. Kinda boring...?
#8 Gather has a great dance-floor ripping end.
#9 The Probe is Artifakt meets Goa. Check out the part starting at 06:56. Cool track.
But, how about track #10 - No Present? It is so utterly uber-melodic, it did strike me as a bit cheesy at first. You have the build-up at 03:48, which is good, but frankly is very very much reminiscent of Infected Mushroom. Yes! Check out Bombat or Meduzze from IM The Supervisor and tell me you don't see the similarity. Especially when the guitar starts at 05:08.
Also, #11 The Pole, which grew on me... but at first, sounded so "generic full-on" it kind of hurt to know that Artifakt made it. There are some good parts at it, but even these sound a bit unoriginal - there's a part at 03:13 that seemed like a part out of OOOD's The Humming (at 05:00). The track does end wonderfully, though, with a beautiful melodic part...
Uhm, well, a minimal review - I guess.
This album is great, but not a masterpiece like Artifakts II. I've listened to it tens of times, and I will listen to it tens of times more. Some of the tracks here are among the best Artifakt has ever made (especially #4).
Too bad I have to wait another 2-3 years for another one of his albums

hehe its cool payam. 'cheesy' is like yahel, new infected, dali, and stuff like that.
but yeah some of it is hard to digest, have you heard his other albums?
also 7 rulz
i have not actually ! i'm more into downtempo music but after all these reviews here i had to give this a try...and i'm soooooooo happy i did :posford: (that was my first motivation to join this forum, i spend most of my time listening to ambient music so when i want to listen to some uptempo stuff i want them to be perfect, and this is a perfect forum to know about all these amazing stuff)
i can compare yahel, infected, ... with pop trances like tiesto !!!! so if that's your definition of cheesy then you got me all wrong
Haha I hear Infected Mushroom style melodies in this album as well - def track 10 but also a couple of the earlier ones...
Yeah for sure.
But it's old infected-style melodies thankfully, and they kick ass.
Did you guys notice how many claps he has instead of snares hehe
That could maybe be considered a bit cheesy but its all about how you use it.
It works really well for the most part (esp. the magus)
Only tunes I don't like much are the last two and thats cuz theyre very dancefloor orientated and not as interesting as the rest
Awesome album overall though
Location:anywhere, everywhere & nowhere at all.
Thats funny, those two were my favorite on the album
Different strokes :drama:
I like them by themselves I just think it doesn't really fit well with the rest of the album, kinda like it branches off into something else.
Woulda been better suited on compilations i reckon

Im only partway through my second listen but this one sounds really good. Psilocybin really stands out as a gem. I wont be able to decide if I like this one as much as his last for weeks or months, as although I liked Artifakts II on first listen it took a while to realize how amazing it really was. Whether or not it does, it seems to be a very good album.
mikkee
nice nice!

AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
A NEW ARTIFAKT ALBUMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh13%!!%!$!###!!#!%#$^$#^$^
What more can be fucking said?
Haven't heard it, but I'm sure I'll love it - just like I loved everything he did since Artifakts II (such as Baal, Broken and Reborn in different compilation).
Artifakt is quite simply the best South African (or should I say South Afrikan?) trance artist out there.
Amazing, amazing.
I'll review as soon as I hear it.
It would be South African

Loving this album :posford:
4/5 for me it gets better each time i play it
The genre is called South Afrikan psytrance. Some call it South Afrikan full-on psytrance
This is no typo.
After having this CD for a few months I still cant decide if I like this or Artifakts II better. They are both really amazing cds. Artifakt really "tells a story" with his albums, they way the build and evolve through the tracks is genius, each song getting more and more massive and beautiful, and each one executed with the hand of master. This album, in particular "The Pole" has actually moved me to tears. The last track to do that for me was the final track on "Artifakts II".
It isnt really fair to pick favorite tracks from this album because they are all part of a whole, but in particular "The Magus", the end (after the sample in spanish) of "Viagra Bastard Spawn", "The probe" and the massive, haunting, uplifting melody of "the Pole" really stand out. The introductory tracks are really cool too, and they do a great job of whetting the appetite for the massive sounds to come while still being excellent tracks on their own.
I would not be at alll surprised if Artifakt is remembered 100 years from now.
Um, yes it is....Its a BIG typo....unless you're talking in Afrikaans you numbnut...We spell Africa like this in english...A F R I C A!!!!
But hey, i'm over wastin time talkin about the spelling of my country....
The most important matter is....this album kicks ass...
survey1
In that line of thought we must think.. Why the hell "Artifakt" and not "Artifact"? Why the K??? Did he messed up too?
Stop being picky. :drama:
Hmmm, well Artifakt would be fully within his own right to use a k for his name....But lets start spelling Beljium or Gapan or Untied States of America......
GodOfEmptiness
Bump, I've been listening to this a bunch lately.
I like it better than Artifakts II, which was a solid album in its own right.
Favorties so far:
No Present
The Probe
Viagra Bastard Spawn
But really, I like all the tracks. I feel this album is more coherent and digestable and listenable (to me) than his previous release.
:posford: :posford: :posford:
Gotta love this album.
Artifakt does what few should do, he is consistent.
This album stands alone from his debut record and II.
And it is so strong from track to track, it doesn't waiver. It doesn't outstay its welcome. It is uncompromising music.
I just don't know where he can go to from here.
But I certainly can't wait.
buzzman
Maybe he's first language has something to do with it? In Denmark, "Contact" is spelled "kontakt" and so on....
Matthew De Nobrega aka Artifakt is an english speaking south African artist, he chose the name Artifakt cos he can, its got sweet blue stuffall to do with his first language. In case you r-tards are wondering, I'm also an english speaking south african...yes we do exist!
Pemster
the Magus...... an amazing album, psychedelic, powerful .. no album since has come close to sounding so fresh and original
the Artifakt is surely a great artist ... and it is definitely time for another album!!!

Q: Expected time spent in a node between visits to another node in an asymmetric random walk on integers Recall that the first passage time to state $i$ is the random variable $T_i$ defined by
\begin{equation*}
T_i(\omega)=\mathrm{inf}\{n\geq1:X_n(\omega)=i\}
\end{equation*}
where inf$\emptyset=\infty$. Let $(X_n)_{n\geq0}$ be a simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ with $p_{i,i-1}=q<p=p_{i,i+1}$. Find
\begin{equation*}
\gamma^0_1=\mathbb{E}_0(\sum_{n=0}^{T_0-1}1_{X_n=1}).
\end{equation*}
My efforts:
\begin{equation*}
\gamma^0_1=\sum^\infty_{n=0}\mathrm{Pr}(X_n=1,n+1\leq T_0).
\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}
\mathrm{Pr}(X_{2k}=1,2k+1\leq T_0)=0.
\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}
\mathrm{Pr}(X_{2k+1}=1,2k+2\leq T_0)=c_kp^{k+1}q^k.
\end{equation*}
We only need to determine $c_k$, which is a complicated counting problem. I know $c_0=1,c_1=1,c_2=2,c_3=4$. We only need to consider the walk to the right hand side of 0. In the case of $X_{2k+1}=1,2k+2\leq T_0$, the farthest place that the walker can reach is $k+1$. Of course the walker does not necessarily reach $k+1$. It can just repeat between some nodes, e.g., $k-1$ and $k$.
This is a transient random walk. So we cannot use the stationary distribution to calculate this.
The generating function method of calculating number of steps returning to 0 starting from 1 doesn't help either. Number of steps taken to return to 0 and number of visits to 1 are two very different things, although you must pass 1 so as to return to 0.
There seems to be no way to avoid counting. So my problem is: what is a smart way to count $c_k$?

A: \begin{equation*}
\gamma^0_0=1.
\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}
\gamma^0_i=q\gamma^0_{i+1}+p\gamma^0_{i-1},i\neq0.
\end{equation*}
Thus
\begin{equation*}
\gamma^0_i=A+(1-A)(\frac{p}{q})^i.
\end{equation*}
Consider the case of $i>0$. To visit $i+1$ and return to 0, the walker must visit $i$ at least twice. $\gamma^0_i$ is a non-increasing function of $i$. But $(p/q)^i$ is an increasing function. The best we can do is setting $A=1$ so that $\gamma^0_i=1$ for all $i>0$.
Consider the case to the left of 0. Still let $i>0$. We have
\begin{equation*}
\gamma^0_{-i}=A+(1-A)(\frac{q}{p})^i.
\end{equation*}
lim$_{i\rightarrow\infty}\gamma^0_{-i}=0$, so $A=0$ and $\gamma^0_{-i}=(q/p)^i$ for all $i>0$.


I am totally impressed with this place. It is one of the (and possibly THE) smallest homes featured on Nordic Design to date. It is just 28 square meters/300 square feet! While this Stockholm studio apartment is quite petite, it doesn't feel cramped at all. It is rather a cozy and charming cocoon with all the basic amenities one might need. It was tastefully renovated, and the herringbone parket floor is beautiful. And the styling is pretty great, too!
This proves that style is not about size. I really like how nicely everything has been put together to ease function in an aesthetically pleasing way.


WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States during upcoming talks will seek comprehensive access to sell agricultural goods in the EU market, the US Office of the Trade Representative (USTR) said in a summary of negotiating objectives.
TOKYO (Sputnik) - Japan is ready to continue efforts on developing economic relations with Russia, Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Hiroshige Seko said on Monday.
The Japanese minister of economy stated that Russia and Japan are currently only examining the technical and financial issues of constructing an energy bridge between the two countries without any obligations.
Japanese Minister for Economy, Trade and Industry Hiroshige Seko told Sputnik that he was ready to hold negotiations with Russian partners on implementation of the so-called eight-point bilateral economic cooperation plan on the sidelines of the July 10-13 International Industrial Trade Fair INNOPROM-2017.
Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Hiroshige Seko stated that the plan of economic cooperation between Japan and Russia has steadily advanced.
During his meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington on Friday, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will try to solidify an economic and security partnership between his country and the United States.
Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Hiroshige Seko said that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe "points at the necessity of intensifying Russian-Japanese relations this year even more than last year, and this is a warrant of [Japan's] iron determination to develop Russian-Japanese relations."
The December visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Japan will positively affect the development of Moscow-Tokyo diplomatic relations, as during this visit, Putin and Japanese leader Shinzo Abe openly discussed issues related to signing of a bilateral peace treaty, Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Hiroshige Seko said Thursday.
Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry Minister believes that the trade corporations should play a major role in Russian-Japanese cooperation.
Tokyo and Moscow have agreed to develop tourism, bilateral youth and sports exchanges and work on easing the visa regime between the two countries, Kyodo reported on Saturday following the meeting of Russian Deputy Economic Development Minister Stanislav Voskresensky and Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Hiroshige Seko.

Q: Derivation of $\nabla \times \textbf{u}$ in cylindrical coordinates Here is an attempt to derive the curl in cylindrical coordinates
\begin{align*}
 \omega =\text{Curl }\vec{V}(x,y,z) &=
 \nabla \times \textbf{u} =\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial}{\partial r} \\[0.3cm]
  \frac{1}{r} \frac{\partial}{\partial \phi}\\[0.3cm]
  \frac{\partial}{\partial z} \end{bmatrix}
 \times
 \begin{bmatrix}
  u_r \\
  u_{\phi} \\
  u_z
 \end{bmatrix} =\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial}{\partial r} \\[0.3cm]
  \frac{1}{r} \frac{\partial}{\partial \phi}\\[0.3cm]
  \frac{\partial}{\partial z} \end{bmatrix}
 \times
 \begin{bmatrix}
  0 \\
  u_{\phi} \\
  0
 \end{bmatrix} \\
 &=
 \det \begin{pmatrix}
  \hat{\imath} & \hat{\jmath} & \hat{k} \\[0.2cm]
  \frac{\partial}{\partial r} & \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial \phi} & \frac{\partial}{\partial z} \\[0.2cm]
  u_r & u_{\phi} & u_z
 \end{pmatrix}\\
 &= \hat{\imath}\big(\frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial u_z}{\partial u_{\phi}} - \frac{\partial u_\phi}{\partial z}\big)
 -
 \hat{\jmath}\big(\frac{\partial u_z}{\partial r} - \frac{\partial u_r}{\partial z}\big)
 +
 \hat{k}\big(\frac{\partial u_{\phi}}{\partial r} - \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial u_r}{\partial \phi}\big) \\
 &= \begin{bmatrix}
  \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial u_z}{\partial u_{\phi}} - \frac{\partial u_\phi}{\partial z} \\[0.2cm]
  \frac{\partial u_z}{\partial r} - \frac{\partial u_r}{\partial z} \\[0.2cm]
  \frac{\partial u_{\phi}}{\partial r} - \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial u_r}{\partial \phi}
 \end{bmatrix}\qquad \textbf{(1)}\\
 &= \begin{bmatrix}
  \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial u_z}{\partial u_{\phi}} - \frac{\partial u_\phi}{\partial z} \\[0.2cm]
  \frac{\partial u_z}{\partial r} - \frac{\partial u_r}{\partial z} \\[0.2cm]
  \frac{1}{r}\big(
  \frac{\partial r u_{\phi}}{\partial r} -\frac{\partial u_r}{\partial \phi}\big)
 \end{bmatrix} \qquad \textbf{(2)}\\
\end{align*}
This corresponds, I think to the wikipedia definition, with the appropriate screenshot:

Here is my question:
Going from (1) to (2) how can we mathematically assert/prove that $\frac{\partial u_{\phi}}{\partial r} = \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial r u_{\phi}}{\partial r}$

A: Let us start from the components written in curvilinear coordinates
\begin{align}
& (\operatorname{curl}\mathbf F)_1=\frac{1}{h_2h_3}\left (\frac{\partial (h_3F_3)}{\partial u_2}-\frac{\partial (h_2F_2)}{\partial u_3}\right ), \\[5pt]
& (\operatorname{curl}\mathbf F)_2=\frac{1}{h_3h_1}\left (\frac{\partial (h_1F_1)}{\partial u_3}-\frac{\partial (h_3F_3)}{\partial u_1}\right ), \\[5pt]
& (\operatorname{curl}\mathbf F)_3=\frac{1}{h_1h_2}\left (\frac{\partial (h_2F_2)}{\partial u_1}-\frac{\partial (h_1F_1)}{\partial u_2}\right ).
\end{align}
In this case $(u_1, u_2, u_3) = (\rho, \phi, z)$, and $h_1 = 1$, $h_2 = \rho$, $h_3 = 1$.
Writing the curl as $\nabla\times \mathbf{F}$ is confusing to me because the cross product is more complicated in other coordinates than Cartesian, and it is not the definition but a notation of it. The same goes to the matrix form, if you want to write it in that way it would be:
$$\operatorname{curl} \mathbf{F} =
\begin{vmatrix}
h_1 \hat{\mathbf{e}}_1 &h_2 \hat{\mathbf{e}}_2 &h_3 \hat{\mathbf{e}}_3\\
\frac{\partial}{\partial u_1} & \frac{\partial}{\partial u_2} & \frac{\partial}{\partial u_3}\\
h_1 F_1 & h_2 F_2 & h_3 F_3
\end{vmatrix}\, .$$

Most rice varieties require a long, hot growing season. But farmers as far north as Maine are experimenting with short-season heirloom varieties from Japan.
A field of autumn rice. So nice.
Arguably the world's most important food crop, rice may conjure up notions of terraced paddies in Indonesia and bowls of vegetable curry, but the grain has deep roots in American history – particularly African-American history – and is enjoying something of a renaissance among small farmers. Contrary to popular conception, flooded paddies and tropical conditions are not required. And unlike, say, quinoa, rice is productive enough to be worthwhile on a backyard scale: a 10 by 10 bed yields about 10 pounds.
As the base for dishes from Lowcountry purloos to Cajun jambalyas, rice remains a dominant staple of Southern cuisine, though it once rivaled cotton for dominance in Southern agriculture. Slaves brought knowledge of rice cultivation to America, along with ancient African varieties, which began to disappear after the Civil War when the loss of free labor put an end to profitable rice production in the region. Charleston Gold, the most renowned of those varieties, was all but extinct until a handful of organic farmers revived it in the late nineties. In recent months, news that red bearded rice, another long-vanished strain, was rediscovered in Trinidad by the Gullah chef B.J. Dennis has set the culinary world abuzz.
Most rice varieties require a long, hot growing season – California, the Deep South and the Mississippi Delta region are the current centers of domestic production – though small farmers as far north as Maine are now growing short-season heirloom varieties (those that mature in 120 days or less) from northern Japan. Low-lying poorly drained land is ideal for "lowland" varieties, but even these do not require a flooded paddy, just soggy soil. Choose an upland variety if your soil drains freely.
In northerly climates, sow rice seed indoors in early spring to get a head start on the growing season; in warmer climes, sow the seed outdoors where it is to grow once all danger of frost has passed. In either case, soak the seed in a bucket of water for one week prior to sowing (changing the water each day and discarding any seed that floats to the surface) to aid germination. Plan on 1 ounce of seed per 100 square feet of growing area, or about 30 pounds per acre. Aim for 3 to 4 seedlings per foot in rows spaced 1 foot apart.
Maintain rice plantings free of weeds and irrigate as often as necessary to keep the soil moist. Both requirements are aided by a 3- to 4-inch layer of straw mulch, which may be applied as soon as the seedlings are at least 6 inches tall.
Once the seedheads turn brown in late summer, cut them off with about 1 foot of the stalk attached and hang them in bundles to dry in a greenhouse, barn, kitchen, or other warm, protected location. After two weeks, separate the grain from the seed heads (threshing) by banging the bundles onto a tarp spread over a hard surface like concrete. Collect the grain and remove the remaining bits of chaff (winnowing) by pouring it into a bowl in front of a fan – the breeze blows away the lighter plant material as the heavier grain falls (this process may need to be repeated several times). Spread the rice on oven sheets and roast for approximately one hour at 200 degrees. The inedible hulls may be removed manually by pounding the grain with a wooden mallet, rubbing it between your hands to remove the loosened hulls, and then using a fan to blow off the chaff, as above. For larger quantities, avoid this time-consuming approach by purchasing a grain grinder with a de-hulling attachment (see www.grainmaker.com for a hand-cranked model).

Rhine Falls, also known as Rheinfall is the largest waterfall of Europe (by volume). Reading a lot of positive reviews on the internet, and an exciting title "largest waterfall", I decided to add this to my itinerary of Europe. Indeed the amount of water that hits the rocks is huge and the kind of noise it makes reverberates in the atmosphere. I would say I was expecting something else, being a tourist to some of the best waterfalls in India. I assumed that since this is the largest fall, this would be comparable to the Niagara falls or atleast some of the popular waterfalls in India. I was a bit disappointed, but I guess I was expecting the wrong thing. These falls are not the highest, they are the largest by volume. Nonetheless, the Rhine Falls did make an impression on my mind and I am glad I visited there.
The local trains are very slow and takes too long to reach.
Frequency of all trains is very good, but it took me around 3 hours to reach my destination via this route. I would advice going via Zurich as there is a direct train available and it takes only 1 hour from Zurich.
After getting down at the Neuhausen Rheinfall, which is a small station, and there is a bus stop just outside. There are multiple bus stops numbered as 1 , 2, 3 etc. Ask someone that you would like to go to Rheinfalls and which bus to take and stand near that stop. Board the bus and pay the ticket to the driver. It is normally 1.2Euros but if you have a Euro pass, you are free to board any Switzerland bus or train or cruise without worrying about the ticket.
The bus drops exactly at the Rhine Falls and the directions are written very clearly on how to proceed. The falls are located very low, so a lot of stairs need to be taken to reach there.
When To Go: I have been there in the winters and I feel it is the perfect season. The water volume is very high, weather is chilly and cold breeze almost freezes your nerves. Apparently there is a boat ride that can be taken to get close to the falls, but it was closed due to high water level.
What To Do: There are benches on the top view and the closer bottom view pavements of the Rhine falls. Sit on one of them which you feel gives you the best view, hear the thundering sound of water, feel the drizzle that touches your cheeks as the water gushes down, climb down the 100 odd stairs amongst the greenest trees, look at the blue green water and think about putting a poetic line to your credit. There are some eateries also on the right side so you can enjoy a snack by the bank of the Rhine river.
Please note - There are many stairs to the bottom of the Rhine falls, so it is not advisable for the elderly to travel there. These stairs are covered by lush greenery and low visibility due to trees and can be slippery sometimes, so need to be careful.
Unfortunately, I had forgotten to carry my camera on this trip, so managed to catch hold of some pictures using my Samsung Galaxy mobile phone (not very great).

In many ways this is the most complex type of insurance policy that a condo association in Illinois is required to maintain. Directors and Officers insurance (D&O) protects board members from damages resulting from allegations of wrongful conduct and lawsuits. It provides legal defense coverage as well as indemnification of damages, up to the policy limits.
Unfortunately, board members may make mistakes. Without Directors and Officers insurance, a mistake could be disastrous. Board members have certain fiduciary duties and fiscal responsibilities when serving in their respective capacity for the Association. They have an obligation not to violate or breach these fiduciary duties and fiscal responsibilities. Should an error occur, the board may be held responsible and found liable for a material breach or substantial default. D&O coverage provides protection to both the Association and board members in the event of such a claim.
Directors and Officers insurance is designed to fill the coverage gaps of the General Liability policy. The General Liability policy is designed to respond to claims related to bodily injury or property damage. D&O policies respond to claims relating to wrongful acts by the Board. Claims for wrongful acts generally relate to monetary loss without bodily injury or property damage.
It is important to keep in mind that board members may be found responsible and liable if they violate or breach their duties with illegal, improper, negligent or discriminatory conduct.
Many board members believe that since their role on the board is voluntary, they cannot be held personally responsible for their actions or decisions. This is not the case. The insurance carrier may disclaim coverage in these situations and that individual board member may not have insurance coverage, leaving them personally liable for their actions.
According to the Illinois Condominium Property Act, all Illinois condominium associations must carry Directors and Officers (D&O) coverage to protect volunteer directors and officers from claims and lawsuits.
A 2015 amendment to the ICPA, Section 12(a)(3)(D) requires that D&O insurance policies provide coverage for non-monetary claims (e.g., a lawsuit seeking an injunction or a declaratory judgment), breach of contract actions, and claims related to placement or adequacy of insurance. In addition, the D&O liability coverage must include coverage for past, present and future board members, the managing agent, and employees of the board or its managing agent.
The number of suits against board members for failing to perform their duties has continued to rise over the years. The 2015 change to the ICPA is in reaction to the increasing number of suits and an attempt to ensure that proper coverage exists to protect Associations.
It is worth noting a second time that board members can be found responsible and personally liable if they violate or breach their duties with illegal, improper or discriminatory conduct. The insurance carrier can disclaim coverage and that individual board member may not have insurance coverage and may be held personally liable for their actions.
An exclusion is a specific event, situation or type of loss that is not included in the insurance policy. Directors and Officers policies vary wildly with no "standard" policy to expect from carriers. D&O is the policy that requires the most careful level of examination, in my opinion, so that the Board is very clear on what is included and what is excluded.
For example, to meet the minimum requirements of the Illinois Condo Property Act, many carriers include a small amount of D&O coverage within their Property/Liability policies. There is nothing wrong with this, and technically it meets the legal requirements set forth by Illinois, but this type of D&O coverage may provide little real protection to the board. In these cases you will typically find low policy limits and a wide range of exclusions. The policy meets the definition of D&O insurance, but if the board runs into trouble, it may end up not receiving much protection.
Many insurance brokers that we work with will commonly suggest that boards consider a separate, and more complete D&O policy in addition to the "thrown in" coverage provided with the Property/Liability policy.
Hello and welcome to our blog. I hope that the information being shared makes the lives of my fellow board members in Chicago a bit easier. Feel free to email me with any questions that you may have. It would be my pleasure to help!

Q: Pytorch how to get the gradient of loss function twice Here is what I'm trying to implement:
We calculate loss based on F(X), as usual. But we also define "adversarial loss" which is a loss based on F(X + e). e is defined as dF(X)/dX multiplied by some constant. Both loss and adversarial loss are backpropagated for the total loss.
In tensorflow, this part (getting dF(X)/dX) can be coded like below:
  grad, = tf.gradients( loss, X )
  grad = tf.stop_gradient(grad)
  e = constant * grad

Below is my pytorch code:
class DocReaderModel(object):
    def __init__(self, embedding=None, state_dict=None):
        self.train_loss = AverageMeter()
        self.embedding = embedding
        self.network = DNetwork(opt, embedding)
        self.optimizer = optim.SGD(parameters)

    def adversarial_loss(self, batch, loss, embedding, y):
        self.optimizer.zero_grad()
        loss.backward(retain_graph=True)
        grad = embedding.grad
        grad.detach_()

        perturb = F.normalize(grad, p=2)* 0.5
        self.optimizer.zero_grad()
        adv_embedding = embedding + perturb
        network_temp = DNetwork(self.opt, adv_embedding) # This is how to get F(X)
        network_temp.training = False
        network_temp.cuda()
        start, end, _ = network_temp(batch) # This is how to get F(X)
        del network_temp # I even deleted this instance.
        return F.cross_entropy(start, y[0]) + F.cross_entropy(end, y[1])

    def update(self, batch):
        self.network.train()
        start, end, pred = self.network(batch)
        loss = F.cross_entropy(start, y[0]) + F.cross_entropy(end, y[1])
        loss_adv = self.adversarial_loss(batch, loss, self.network.lexicon_encoder.embedding.weight, y)
        loss_total = loss + loss_adv

        self.optimizer.zero_grad()
        loss_total.backward()
        self.optimizer.step()

I have few questions:
1) I substituted tf.stop_gradient with grad.detach_(). Is this correct?
2) I was getting "RuntimeError: Trying to backward through the graph a second time, but the buffers have already been freed. Specify retain_graph=True when calling backward the first time." so I added retain_graph=True at the loss.backward. That specific error went away.
However now I'm getting a memory error after few epochs (RuntimeError: cuda runtime error (2) : out of memory at /opt/conda/conda-bld/pytorch_1525909934016/work/aten/src/THC/generic/THCStorage.cu:58
). I suspect I'm unnecessarily retaining graph.
Can someone let me know pytorch's best practice on this? Any hint / even short comment will be highly appreciated.

A: I think you are trying to implement generative adversarial network (GAN), but from the code, I don't understand and can't follow to what you are trying to achieve as there are a few missing pieces for a GAN to works. I can see there's a discriminator network module, DNetwork but missing the generator network module.
If to guess, when you say 'loss function twice', I assumed you mean you have one loss function for the discriminator net and another for the generator net. If that's the case, let me share how I would implement a basic GAN model.
As an example, let's take a look at this Wasserstein GAN Jupyter notebook
I'll skip the less important bits and zoom into the important ones here:

*

*First, import PyTorch libraries and set up
# Set up batch size, image size, and size of noise vector:
bs, sz, nz = 64, 64, 100 # nz is the size of the latent z vector for creating some random noise later

*Build a discriminator module
class DCGAN_D(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        ... truncated, the usual neural nets stuffs, layers, etc ...
    def forward(self, input):
        ... truncated, the usual neural nets stuffs, layers, etc ...

*Build a generator module
class DCGAN_G(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        ... truncated, the usual neural nets stuffs, layers, etc ...
    def forward(self, input):
        ... truncated, the usual neural nets stuffs, layers, etc ...

*Put them all together
netG = DCGAN_G().cuda()
netD = DCGAN_D().cuda()

*Optimizer needs to be told what variables to optimize. A module automatically keeps track of its variables.
optimizerD = optim.RMSprop(netD.parameters(), lr = 1e-4)
optimizerG = optim.RMSprop(netG.parameters(), lr = 1e-4)

*One forward step and one backward step for Discriminator
Here, the network can calculate gradient during the backward pass, depends on the input to this function. So, in my case, I have 3 type of losses; generator loss, dicriminator real image loss, dicriminator fake image loss. I can get gradient of loss function three times for 3 different net passes.
def step_D(input, init_grad):
    # input can be from generator's generated image data or input image from dataset
    err = netD(input)
    err.backward(init_grad) # backward pass net to calculate gradient
    return err # loss

*Control trainable parameters [IMPORTANT]
Trainable parameters in the model are those that require gradients.
def make_trainable(net, val):
    for p in net.parameters():
        p.requires_grad = val # note, i.e, this is later set to False below in netG update in the train loop.

In TensorFlow, this part can be coded like below:

grad = tf.gradients(loss, X)
grad = tf.stop_gradient(grad)

So, I think this will answer your first question, "I substituted tf.stop_gradient with grad.detach_(). Is this correct?"

*Train loop
You can see here how's the 3 different loss functions are being called here.
    def train(niter, first=True):

        for epoch in range(niter):
            # Make iterable from PyTorch DataLoader
            data_iter = iter(dataloader)
            i = 0

            while i < n:
                ###########################
                # (1) Update D network
                ###########################
                make_trainable(netD, True)

                # train the discriminator d_iters times
                d_iters = 100

                j = 0

                while j < d_iters and i < n:
                    j += 1
                    i += 1

                    # clamp parameters to a cube
                    for p in netD.parameters():
                        p.data.clamp_(-0.01, 0.01)

                    data = next(data_iter)

                    ##### train with real #####
                    real_cpu, _ = data
                    real_cpu = real_cpu.cuda()
                    real = Variable( data[0].cuda() )
                    netD.zero_grad()

                    # Real image discriminator loss
                    errD_real = step_D(real, one)

                    ##### train with fake #####
                    fake = netG(create_noise(real.size()[0]))
                    input.data.resize_(real.size()).copy_(fake.data)

                    # Fake image discriminator loss
                    errD_fake = step_D(input, mone)

                    # Discriminator loss
                    errD = errD_real - errD_fake
                    optimizerD.step()

                ###########################
                # (2) Update G network
                ###########################
                make_trainable(netD, False)
                netG.zero_grad()

                # Generator loss
                errG = step_D(netG(create_noise(bs)), one)
                optimizerG.step()

                print('[%d/%d][%d/%d] Loss_D: %f Loss_G: %f Loss_D_real: %f Loss_D_fake %f'
                    % (epoch, niter, i, n,
                    errD.data[0], errG.data[0], errD_real.data[0], errD_fake.data[0]))

"I was getting "RuntimeError: Trying to backward through the graph a second time..."

PyTorch has this behaviour; to reduce GPU memory usage, during the .backward() call, all the intermediary results (if you have like saved activations, etc.) are deleted when they are not needed anymore. Therefore, if you try to call .backward() again, the intermediary results don't exist and the backward pass cannot be performed (and you get the error you see).
It depends on what you are trying to do. You can call .backward(retain_graph=True) to make a backward pass that will not delete intermediary results, and so you will be able to call .backward() again. All but the last call to backward should have the retain_graph=True option.

Can someone let me know pytorch's best practice on this

As you can see from the PyTorch code above and from the way things are being done in PyTorch which is trying to stay Pythonic, you can get a sense of PyTorch's best practice there.

A: If you want to work with higher-order derivatives (i.e. a derivative of a derivative) take a look at the create_graph option of backward.
For example:
loss = get_loss()
loss.backward(create_graph=True)
loss_grad_penalty = loss + loss.grad
loss_grad_penalty.backward()

Press Release | Human Rights Watch | Uganda – Free Pass on High-Level Corruption
Posted October 26, 2013 by Ugandan Diaspora News Team in Corruption ~ 4,340 views
Large-Scale Graft Deprives Ugandans of Basic Rights — (Kampala) – The government of Uganda has failed to hold to account senior officials implicated in the theft and diversion of public funds, Human Rights Watch and Yale Law School's Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic said in a joint report released today. No high-ranking government official, minister, or political appointee has ever served a prison sentence despite investigations into numerous corruption scandals over many years and an impressive array of anti-corruption institutions. Activists fighting corruption face arrest and criminal charges.
The 63-page report, "Letting the Big Fish Swim: Failure to Prosecute High-Level Corruption in Uganda," documents Uganda's failure to hold the highest members of its government accountable for large scale graft, despite repeated pledges to eradicate corruption and good technical work from investigators and prosecutors. The groups analyzed officials' use of legal loopholes and laws that insulate political appointees from accountability to elude punishment. A lack of political will has crippled Uganda's anti-corruption institutions, undermining their efforts through political interference, harassment, and threats.
"Scandal after scandal, the government's patronage politics and lack of political will undermine the fight against corruption in Uganda," said Maria Burnett, senior Africa researcher. "Throughout President Yoweri Museveni's 27 years in office his promises to tackle corruption have proliferated while officials responsible for graft at the highest levels go free."
The report is based on research by Human Rights Watch and Yale Law School's Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic from May to September 2013, including interviews with 48 people with substantive knowledge of anti-corruption efforts in Uganda. The researchers also consulted numerous reports from local activists, Uganda's development partners, and the World Bank to reflect the history of Uganda's entrenched corruption problem.
Corruption scandals have had a direct impact on human rights in Uganda over many years. Donor funding worth US$12.7 million was stolen from the Office of the Prime Minister in late 2012. The money was earmarked for rebuilding northern Uganda, a region ravaged by a 20-year war, and Karamoja, Uganda's poorest region.
Other scandals have rocked health programs, like the US$45 million diverted from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in 2010, and the US$12 million stolen from the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisations in 2006. The theft of resources intended to help realize fundamental rights to justice, health, water, food, and education can have disastrous consequences.
Given Uganda's political patronage system and the duration of Museveni's stay in power, prosecution of high-level government officials responsible for corruption is necessary to fundamentally alter the deeply rooted patterns of graft among certain elites.
"This court is tired of trying tilapias when crocodiles are left swimming," Justice John Bosco Katutsi, former head of the Anti-Corruption Court, said in a 2010 ruling.
Uganda has a variety of government bodies focused on eradicating corruption, which have ably prosecuted low-level corruption for small amounts of money. But these bodies have been largely ineffective in curbing grand scale corruption.
These bodies have not had the support or resources they need from Museveni, his cabinet, and parliament to get the job done. Important positions have been left vacant, for years in some cases. Critical institutions, like the Leadership Tribunal, which could challenge inaccurate financial asset declarations of officials, have not been established.
Further legislative reform is likely needed to ensure that routine personnel vacancies don't cripple anti-corruption institutions, such as the Inspectorate of Government.
Political interference in the work of anti-corruption institutions has also derailed high-level prosecutions. The organizations found that in some cases senior officials have directed prosecutors to delay prosecution or prematurely try a case with weak evidence. Investigators, prosecutors, and witnesses involved in such cases have been the targets of threats and bribes. The Ugandan government should provide greater protection for those involved in prosecutions and a more robust system for protecting witnesses and ensuring that quality evidence against high-ranking members of government comes to light.
"Instead of being brought to justice, people accused of stealing millions and millions of dollars in Uganda are often just shifted to other government positions," Burnett said. "Uganda's national game of musical chairs needs to stop. Corrupt officials shouldn't be able to wriggle out of the prosecutors' grasp."
Despite renewed pledges to fight corruption in 2013, the Ugandan government has arrested at least 28 anti-corruption activists who were distributing information to the public. Some have been charged with inciting violence and unlawful assembly, and are required to report regularly to the police. The harassment of these activists calls into serious question the government's commitment to fighting corruption. Rather than harassing activists and obstructing public access to information, the government should support the crucial role of activists in upholding human rights and anti-corruption efforts.
In 2012 approximately 30 percent of Uganda's national budget came from donor support. Donors have suspended aid at various times in response to high-profile graft, but donor funding has nearly always resumed despite the lack of significant reform or high-level prosecutions. International donors should increase their focus on strategies that will promote accountability at the highest levels of government and ensure that any re-engagement is based on substantive changes to Uganda's anti-corruption structures.
International donors should also actively and vocally support activists working to document and raise awareness of corruption, by financially supporting their work, publicly denouncing their arrests and harassment, and visiting them in police detention.
"The government and its donors need to work harder to ensure that President Museveni's administration lives up to its pledges to tackle corruption," Burnett said. "That means putting members of government, including political appointees, behind bars if they are guilty of corruption."

Santchou Faunal Reserve
Current view: Text account
Year of compilation: 2001
Located south of the town of Dschang, the site is surrounded by four rivers, the Alouno to the north, the Nkam river to the west, to the south by the Metché river and to the east by the Alouo river. The vegetation is a mixture of Sterculiaceae- and Ulmaceae-dominated semi-deciduous forest, shrubby savanna, submontane forest, periodically inundated swamp-forest and grassland. Forest species include Mitragyna ciliata, Lophira alata, Khaya ivorensis, Milicia (Chlorophora) excelsa, Mansonia altissima, Terminalia spp., Klainedoxa gabonensis, Prunus africana and a few emergent Polyscias fulva. The grasslands comprise Pennisetum, Eleusine, Andropogon spp. and Imperata cylindrica. About nine villages are found within the reserve.
Key biodiversity
See Box and Table 3 for key species. Some 161 species have so far been recorded from the reserve, including the restricted-range Hirundo fuliginosa (of unknown status; Table 2). This is one of only two IBAs in Cameroon at which the Guinea–Congo Forests biome species Phyllanthus atripennis occurs. One species of the Sudan–Guinea Savanna biome (A04) also occurs (Table 3).
Non-bird biodiversity: Large mammals have been considerably reduced by poaching and habitat destruction.
Pressure/threats to key biodiversity
At its creation the reserve covered an area of 7,000 ha; human encroachment has to date reduced its effective size by about 40%. There are an estimated 3,000 people in the reserve, mainly agriculturists of the Bamiléké and Mbo ethnic groups, who cultivate extensive plantations of coffee, cocoa and oil-palm. Permanent structures in the reserve include Government-owned schools. The submontane forest is heavily exploited for Prunus africana. Other species exploited for medicinal purposes include Voacanga africana, Gnetum africanum and Amaranthaceae. Since most of the savanna and swamp-forest areas of the reserve have been encroached upon, it would seem advisable to redefine the borders of the reserve, to include the much less disturbed adjacent hilly areas.

THATCHER, AZ—Eastern Arizona College will offer two sections of Hatha Yoga this Spring. The daytime courses, HPE101AY, section #1966; and HPE102AY, section #1967, will meet on Tuesdays from 9-10:40 a.m. in the Gherald L. Hoopes Jr. Activities Center-T.V. Room, beginning January 17.
The third section of Hatha Yoga, section #0516 and #0517 will be offered on Tuesday evenings 6–7:40 p.m. in South Campus classroom #1A, and is also a beginner's course.
The instructor for the course, Linda Bolles, completed her yoga training in 2000. She has recently returned to the Gila Valley from Elko, Nevada where she taught yoga at Great Basin College and in her own studio, Great Basin Yoga, also in Elko.
Bolles has continued her study of yoga with numerous workshops, teacher trainings, national conferences, and Advanced Yoga Studies Intensives in Massachusetts, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, and Canada. In July of 2004, she was invited to serve on the teaching staff of Donna Farhi's International Teacher Training in Vancouver, Canada.

The thing about me and shopping is that I always make sure that I have a list, so I can stick with it once I'm in the shops. Most of the time, I get to follow it but then there are some exceptions. Like what happened to me the other day.
Went to a 2 dollar shop like a little kid in a candy store, walking to one aisle to another and ended in the checkout counter with a pink card holder and acrylic pencil holder which I'm using now as a makeup brush holder.
I needed a card holder because my wallet couldn't fit all my loyalty cards, credit card, ATM card anymore. Was hoping there was a black cover but it was either this or a neon orange.
On to the other shop, I bought a Mason Jar and a Lavander essential oil (2 dollars each = less than 100php).
I've always wanted a Mason Jar but I didn't want to buy it online so when I saw this, I knew I had to get it.
I still have my Lemongrass essential oil but I wanted a different scent that or maybe I just really needed to buy it. At least I now know where to get cheaper and better oils, no more overpriced Scent for Senses!
So there goes my unnecessary haul. How about you, how was your shopping this week?
I couldn't agree more. It's always nice to find something for a lesser price without the quality being jeopardized.
Lol we have the pound shop over here. It is like a kid walking into a candy store, but you get so excited that everything adds up at the till.

REVIEW: Empress Of Live at House of Vans
By: Chicago Music Guide
Review by: Lejla Subašić
There is no standing still for Empress Of. Casual as ever, Lorely Rodriguez, the Honduran-American vocalist/songwriter takes over the snug stage of The House of Vans with her live drummer, as they feed off of each other in their cheetah print tops. A sort of fun and carelessness you see during the intimacy of a lax rehearsal.
Her vocals layer as heavenly echoes while she effortlessly tops it off with her own authentic flexibility of a voice. "Anybody here speak Spanish?" Rodriguez banters, as the audience cheers and sing along to Trust Me Baby, a song infused with Spanish and English. Unchained to move with her own beats and bangs of the crisp and biting hi-hat, she creates a tsunami of spurring in the moment movements, extracting from the instruments and to her bodily present. From eddying her arms above her head, to pointing to hopping on one foot to the other as the drummer mimics Rodriguez's footsteps (the two have mastered multitasking), a fierceness prevails as she turns and looks over her shoulder teasing the audience.
The audience stayed in the present as cellphones were put away in the song How Do You Do It. Rodriguez as an empathetic mirror, reflects onto the audience into themselves in her easily relatable songs, as they then move with Empress Of, like quick sway dances in a ballroom. A sort of a wave apart from most of the performance, as the audience was moving in grouped spurts.
In the joys of her merrymaking, she then reaches a vulnerable point of the night, ending the night with a quick one, transitioning from fun to a funk. A fragility, much similar to her first emotionally focused album Me. During her last performance, she urges the audience to get into their feelings, knowing that it's Friday and the audience would rather "turn up". She then falls to the floor on her knees, arching her back outwards, singing into her stomach, carried out with no follow up of an encore.
