Low back pain can be brought on by participation in sports, motor automobile accidents, or any kind of injury, such as incorrect lifting performed with rotation, a direct mechanism of disk damage. It may possibly be the outcome of faulty sitting or sleeping positions, faulty movement, repetitive movements at work, incorrect posture, or osteoarthritis. In any of these situations individuals will present with low back discomfort of diverse degrees of intensity, from light discomfort to debilitating pain. The most prevalent location is above the sacrum, with frequent radiation to the buttock and hip. Occasionally patients have pain radiating to the knee or even to the ankle. Sufferers with sciatica will have excruciating pain radiating all the way down the leg.
Some individuals with low back pain have scoliosis, a deviation of the spine to the suitable or left that can take place in the thoracic and lumbar spine. A lot of sufferers with low back discomfort have no notion that their low back pain has an emotional component. In other instances of food allergies there may well be nausea and vomiting. In Chinese Medicine every single organ has path associated with it when it is functioning properly and the appropriate path of the stomach is down. In other words, the stomach is supposed to empty its contents down into the smaller intestine, passing it on to be broken down even further.
Hay fever allergies, also identified as respiratory allergies surprising impacts of the youngsters in America. To ones surprise, hay fever allergies are seldom related to hay or result in a fever, nor does a virus induce hay fever allergies. With the staggering percentage of youngsters being impacted by allergies, medical understanding of how to treat hay fever and respiratory allergies remains restricted.
There are several causes of respiratory allergies and allergens can come from numerous sources. Typical respiratory allergies are due to the inhaling of allergens such as dust, pollen, mold spores, animal dander, or cockroach or dust mite droppings. As soon as you inhale allergens, it would result in a respiratory reaction such as sneezing and runny nose. It is essential to comprehend what respiratory allergens are if you anticipate to shield your child from them. An allergy is an immune reaction to an irritable substance in the child's atmosphere. The child's physique views these irritants as hazardous and releases chemical compounds, such as histamines, that result in uncomfortable and potentially harmful symptoms.
If a fungal infection turns into scratchy, it is enough to appear for health-related therapy so that a medical doctor will examine the toenail and might take modest samples. The nail can be scrutinized for fungi or some other infection below a microscope in the lab. The incidence price, price of chronicity and disability and higher recurrence price adds up to a problem of epidemic proportions. If your eyes start out to grow to be itchy and aggravated from all of the rubbing from you attempting to relieve the itching and you are unable to get to allergy medicine, you may want to contemplate rinsing your eyes with cool water. This can also be beneficial if you have respiratory allergies or if you got the allergen into your eye.
When a particular person that is sensitive comes in get in touch with with what causes them to be sensitive, the allergen, the immune program releases a large quantity of a chemical referred to as histamine. A substantial quantity of this histamine causes tissue swelling or inflammation or the tightening of muscles. As a person who suffered from nasal allergies due to pollen, I can have an understanding of the trauma associated. The terrible sneezing attacks, runny nose, itchy eyes and nose, and excessive tearing could debilitate any person. I had difficulty with dust mites and pollen and suffered throughout rains and winters. Antihistamines, as we are all conscious, only assistance alleviate the symptoms.
Low back pain is extremely popular- from 60% to 80% of the general population suffer from low back discomfort at some time in their lives. Most of them will recover within six weeks, but five-15% are unresponsive to therapy and have continued disability. Amongst those patients who recover, recurrences are pretty prevalent- 22% to 62% endure an exacerbation of chronic low back discomfort due to different causes.
Nutritional Yeast Brands – Having the testing completed will make items additional uncomplicated. It can also spread person-to-particular person in public places, such as locker rooms and showers.

Sequel Bits: 'Happiest Season 2', 'Edge of Tomorrow 2', 'Halloween Kills', and More
In this edition of Sequel Bits:
Will audiences ever see Happiest Season 2?
One of the stars of the original film offers an update on Edge of Tomorrow 2
Halloween Kills gets an official rating
Audiences flipped for Hulu's holiday-set romantic comedy Happiest Season when it was released a few weeks ago, and now co-writer/director Clea DuVall is interested in heading back to that world for a follow-up movie. "I would love to do a sequel," she told Collider. "I mean, I have a couple of ideas. We all had such a great time making the movie that we were talking about it then. But it was also just like, who knew if anybody would care about the movie or not? So I definitely am more than open to it."
We're big fans of Doug Liman's time-loop sci-fi action classic Edge of Tomorrow around these parts, and we've been patiently waiting on a sequel for years. It sounds like we'll have to wait a bit longer, but according to star Emily Blunt, the script is "really promising and really, really cool." Unfortunately, since it's reliant on her and Tom Cruise and Liman and maybe even Christopher McQuarrie to be available, finding a window to make it seems nearly insurmountable. "I just don't know when everything's going to sort of align, you know what I mean?" Blunt told THR. "Between all of our schedules, it would just have to be the right time. But there is something in the works, for sure, that's a great idea. A great idea."
Halloween Kills, the upcoming sequel which director David Gordon Green promises will feature "twice the thrills and ten times the kills" of 2018's Halloween, has just received an official R rating from the MPA. It earned that rating for "Strong bloody violence throughout, grisly images, language and some drug use," so prepare for a higher body count and some pretty gnarly stuff when that film drops on October 15, 2021.
And finally, Bloody-Disgusting reports that The Collected, the third film in the Collector franchise, will resume production in January or February of 2021 after shutting down earlier this year during the pandemic. Director Marcus Dunstan is back behind the camera again, and star Josh Stewart is on board once more.

Care leavers dealing with issues like homelessness, drug and alcohol problems and having their children taken away are staging a play based on their own experiences.

Phoenix brings the all-too-often fractured lives of those leaving the care system into sharp focus, and will be showing at the Hackney Downs Studio where the Big House theatre company meets every Saturday.
Established this year by Maggie Norris to work with young care leavers aged 16-25 from all over London, it is the only theatre company in the UK which uses the transformative powers of drama to help care leavers.
Former heroin addict Laura Isherwood has been given a "new lease of life" since joining the company six months ago.
"I was down and out before I found this place," said Ms Isherwood, 23, who lives in Well Street and was nine when she was taken into care.
"I was going out robbing people and beating people up, selling drugs, just trying to make ends meet so to speak, I was getting arrested a lot.
"Now I've learned how to channel my emotions, how to communicate on a level where I'm not shouting at people, I'm not abusing people.
"I have learned that fighting isn't the best way to solve a problem and I've learned how to be professional in a professional environment."
Lack of parental support, social isolation, bullying, neglect and abuse contribute to care leavers being vulnerable to homelessness, unemployment and under-achieving at school.
Care leavers account for 40 per cent of under 21s in prison.
The Big House uses a unique combination of drama workshops, individual and group therapy, mentoring, life and employment skills to address these issues.
"When you are dumped in this big wide world, you have no idea what to do," explained Ms Isherwood.
"There's no guidance from social services, we aren't given a manual, we're not explained what life is.
"It's good to come into a working environment knowing you can come out with a lot of experience, a lot of friends and a lot of things that will be useful in your life."
She said: "If it wasn't for The Big House I'd probably be in a ditch somewhere or in a nuthouse and I'm really glad I'm not."
Most of the 12-strong cast who were selected on the basis of need have never performed before, and includes two other care leavers from Hackney, Cocoa Rose and Mirian Mendes, and Nekesha Biggs from Islington.
The show runs from Tuesday November 26 until Saturday December 14 at Hackney Downs Studios in Amhurst Terrace, Upper Clapton.
Tickets cost £15 of £5 for concessions.

Medical groups push to water down requirements for disclosing industry ties
By Ed Silverman @Pharmalot
Senator John Barrasso introduced a bill to exclude drug firms and medical devices from having to report certain payments to doctors. J. Scott Applewhite/AP
Nearly 100 national and state medical societies from around the United States are backing a Senate bill that would exempt drug and device makers from reporting payments made to doctors for receiving continuing medical education, or CME, sessions, medical journals, or textbooks. Among them are the American Medical Association and the American College of Cardiology.
The move is the latest push in a long-running effort to roll back requirements for reporting such payments to a federal database, which tracks financial relationships between companies and physicians. Known as OpenPayments, the database was launched in 2014 in response to concerns that financial ties between drug firms and device makers and doctors may unduly influence medical practice and research. It was included in the Sunshine Act provision in the Affordable Care Act. A recent analysis found that payments can affect prescription rates.
But more than once over the past few years, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which maintains the database, appeared to change its mind on reporting requirements for CME payments, in particular. These payments are made by manufacturers or group purchasing organizations to CME providers, which are either commercial firms or nonprofits that organize courses for physicians.
CME has been a particularly controversial issue, with accusations that drug and device companies not only fund the courses but they also tightly control the educational curriculum. Last year, industry support for CME totaled $693 million, a 2 percent rise, from the previous year, according to the latest report from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, which regulates CME activities.
In late 2014, CMS ultimately decided that reporting CME payments would be required. As far as the agency is concerned, medical information — whether in the form of courses, journals, or textbooks — has value that physicians would otherwise have to pay for themselves. However, the CMS decision prompted a lobbying push by industry and medical societies to eliminate the reporting requirement.
Drug company payments have effect on prescription rates, analysis finds
In the House, the reporting exemption was tucked into the controversial 21st Century Cures Act, a wide-ranging bill that was passed in hopes of speeding medical innovation, although critics say the legislation would lower some standards for approving medicines and devices. The Senate is taking a piecemeal approach, though, and in late May, a separate bill addressing the exemption was introduced.
The support from the medical societies for the bill, which is called the Protect Continuing Physician Education and Patient Care Act, is hardly surprising. In a letter to US Senator John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican and a physician who introduced the bill, the medical groups argue, however, that Congress initially intended to create such exemptions and CMS may hurt medical practice.
"Passage of this bill is urgently needed to remedy onerous and burdensome reporting obligations imposed by CMS that have already chilled the dissemination of medical textbooks and peer-reviewed medical reprints and journals, and to avert a similar negative impact on access to independent" CME, they wrote to Barrasso in a June 29 letter.
"This legislation would ensure that efforts to promote transparency do not undermine efforts to provide the most up-to-date independent medical knowledge, which improves the quality of care patients receive," the medical groups continued. "The Sunshine Act was not passed to limit or construct additional barriers to the dissemination of new medical knowledge that improves patient health outcomes."
One CME provider, meanwhile, argued that since industry support for CME has shifted following sustained scrutiny, the reporting exemption should be granted.
"When a company gives a grant to an accredited CME provider, it's pretty hands off. They're not supposed to suggest speakers or influence the curriculum, for instance," said Thomas Sullivan, president of Rockpointe. "So if a company that supports commercial CE has no control (over the use of its grant dollars), I don't see why that should be reported. Doctors don't have the direct relationship with the company."

But a publisher of CME journals believes an exemption is not warranted.
"It's a stretch to view free textbook and free medical education as being anything other than a benefit to physicians," said Daniel Carlat, who runs a company that publishes CME newsletters for mental health practitioners. "These are not direct benefits to patients. The only way these would benefit patients is if a drug company gave free books or courses to patients themselves."
As for CMS, we asked the agency whether it will consider a rule change and for a response to the letter. We will update you accordingly.

Think you know your facts on violence against women?
16 Days of Activism to end violence against women and girls
Every woman and girl has the right to live her life without violence
The issue of gender-based violence (GBV) is at the heart of human rights.
GBV is never justifiable. Even a so-called 'crime of passion' is still a crime, and may well have cost a life.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development restated the entitlement of every individual everywhere to the fundamental freedoms and opportunities enshrined in human rights.
This is true for all peoples, no matter what their gender, age, race, religion, ethnicity or caste, and irrespective of their income level, sexual orientation, HIV status, citizenship, place of residence (city, slum, rural area, refugee camp) or any other characteristic of a person's identity or context.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a promise to humanity; a commitment to improve the lives of all and address pervasive inequalities so that no one is left behind.
Goal 5 of the SDGs is to achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls is and a central focus for the achievement of all the other goals
VAW reflects a lack of equality between women and men, and helps to perpetuate norms of power imbalance
Global data shows that one in three women has experienced physical and/or sexual violence at some point in her lifetime, with this figure being as high as 7 in 10 in some countries.
Everyday violence in multiple forms is stunting or halting the lives of hundreds of millions of women and girls around the world; it is present in every country and in every society. In some societies, it has become so normalized that it is not commented upon.
Lack of equality and imbalances in power, agency and voice are responsible for women and girls living in deeper poverty and on average doing less well than men across labour, health, education and political participation outcomes. It damages mental and physical health, hinders social functioning and affects a woman's overall well-being.
Violence comes in an increasing number of forms
The magnitude of sexual harassment demonstrates the culture of discrimination against women and girls that permeates societies everywhere.
Gender inequality and discrimination are at the core of all forms of physical and sexual violence and harmful practices, violating the fundamental human rights of women and girls.
Women and girls face violence in their homes and communities, often at the hands of loved ones, people they know and authority figures, as well as by strangers, institutions and the state.
Cyberbullying and abuse exerted through constantly expanding and poorly regulated technologies complicate contexts and provide new challenges to prevent and respond to VAW (e.g. through gaming, social media, mobile phones, the internet).
Public forms of violence join private settings as threats, with widespread sexual violence in cities and workspaces, and by non-state actors, such as extremist groups joining repressive state regimes that curtail women's rights and life opportunities.
Who is most at risk of being left behind?
Adolescents and older ages may be overlooked in statistics and in planning when data is gathered only from women of reproductive age.
Migrants and refugees/IDPs may lack formal recognition by the State, lose rights and become less visible.
Indigenous women and those from ethnic or racial minorities often face the highest levels of discrimination.
Women and girls living with disabilities, those living in rural areas, among others similarly face overlapping inequalities and situations of multiple disadvantage.
An adolescent married before the age of 18 who has not completed secondary school is more likely to have unwanted pregnancies (lacking the power to negotiate sex); to have fewer opportunities for paid work; and to be at greater risk of domestic violence. She is less likely to have options to leave the abuser, and to access support services, as they may not recognize her as a child, nor serve her as an adult.
Countries that tolerate violence get left behind.
The costs related to earnings losses for women married as children are high. The gains in earnings and productivity that would have been observed if women had not married early for a World Bank/ICRW study set of 15 countries are estimated at $26 billion in 2015.
Global and national crises increase vulnerability: those most affected are the least equal and empowered
Natural disasters, persistent conflicts, foreign occupation, violent extremism and terrorism, displaced populations, the global financial and economic crises, volatile food and energy prices, food insecurity, and hardships arising from climate change and the destruction/degradation of natural resources have intensified inequalities and vulnerability.
State responses and support systems may be non-existent, inadequate or non-accessible, for example disrupted by crises.
Those who are already invisible or unregistered are easier to leave behind.
Identifying the most marginalized girls and women is fundamental to comprehensive planning and implementation of approaches
We do not yet have data that provide a comprehensive picture of the extent, nature and consequences of violence committed in private and public spaces against women - including and especially those most marginalized.
For example, VAWG in refugee camps. UNFPA in 2017 observed that more than half of the GBV incidents reported by Rohingya refugees from Myanmar into Bangladesh are sexual assault - an 'exceptionally high proportion', however many cases go unreported by victims because of "safety, confidentiality, shame and stigma".
Quantitative and qualitative research and data collection and analysis must be improved so that laws, policies and interventions reach those furthest behind.
At the heart of leaving no one behind, is leaving no one out.
Women and girls must be central to the development process, especially those who have been previously dismissed, sidelined or excluded. Their experiences, knowledge, recommendations and agency are essential for balanced and sustainable solutions.
As a global community, we must focus on changing institutions and social norms to end discrimination and restore human rights and dignity.
VAW is not inevitable.
There are many avenues to both prevent violence from occurring in the first place and to complement the actions of the response system to avert repeated cycles of violence.
Prevention must begin early. The education system and teachers have a huge responsibility in what children and young people learn, so that they carry forward the principles of equality, respect and non-violence for future generations.
In India: Girls and boys 12-14 who participated in the Gender Equity Movement in Schools (GEMS) school-based curriculum and campaign activities were more likely to develop gender-equitable attitudes toward gender roles and norms and to challenge the use of violence. ICRW
Everyone has a critical role to play and must participate to create change. We must speak out against harassment and violence in our workplaces, in our institutions, in our social arenas and through our media, popular culture and mass communication channels.
Men play a central role in bringing change
Sexism, male dominance and male privilege lay the foundation for all forms of violence against women.
Challenging this as society's norm starts with modeling positive masculinities; instilling principles of equality, rights and respect in the upbringing of sons; and men holding their peers accountable to non-discrimination, non-violence and the reversal of toxic masculinities.
In Uganda: IPV was reduced by 52 per cent through a community mobilization programme that engaged women and men, religious and community leaders, to change related social norms (Sasa! 2014).
For zero per cent tolerance, we must take 100 per cent responsibility
Those in power have to exercise their full power to end power inequality and impunity. Perpetrators must be held accountable for the violence that they commit.
The voices of those left behind have to be brought to the forefront and the gender gaps closed.
Discriminatory laws against women in general and those that affect marginalized groups must be eradicated.
Legislation to protect girls and women from child marriage, FGM, domestic violence, sexual assault and harassment must be enacted and implemented, and its impact properly monitored and evaluated.
The provision of essential services for survivors must be comprehensive, multi-sectoral, of good quality and accessible to all.
Regardless of the point of entry, women and girls should receive the same standard of delivery from all services – health, police and justice and social services.
Sectors should work together in a coordinated way, and should be tailored to the needs of individuals. During reporting, response and recovery, factors such as survivors' language, location, culture and age should be considered, in order to reduce the burden and impact on women and girls.
We have to adopt a 'whole of society' approach to ending GBV.
UN Women, as the leader on this issue within the UN family, is well prepared to support the world in ending this scourge.
CSOs and women's organizations support lasting and effective policy development to end violence against women and girls
Studies repeatedly affirm that civil society actors and women's rights groups are one of the most effective means of ensuring sustainable change in the lives of women and girls, building strong social movements and advocating for both prevention of violence and response to it.
Civil society is the main repository of knowledge on the levers of changes in their own countries and play a crucial role in consolidation of best practices and amplification of the social justice movement.

Special Call Number 19 – June 2023

The New Climate Regime and Nature as Political Actor
The new "climate regime" challenges the dichotomous thinking with which modernity has conceived the relationships between nature and society, subject and object, transcendence and immanence. Bruno Latour's work has shown how these three dichotomies constitute the structuring factors of the political, scientific and social perspective of modernity, highlighting the need to rethink the forms of both political action and conflict and more generally the very conditions of action. Latour's scientific production has gone through different stages and, in the most recent one, has focused on how the new climate regime affects the forms of political thought and mobilisation. The characteristic of Latour's approach to the new climate regime lies in overcoming the ideas of historical progress, geocentric humanism, and the passivity of nature. Action is conceived aside from the classical conditions of its intentionality and will in the form of a hybrid network that is constantly implemented by the different constituting components. The implications of this mechanism for political and social theory concern simultaneously forms of critique and socio-ecological practices.
The contributions relative to this call can freely navigate within this range of questions, intersecting transversally in a broader or more focused way the following three thematic axes about and beyond Latour:
1 – In recent years, a number of contributions from science and technology studies, cultural anthropology, geography, political theory and philosophy of science have been calling us to take the subject matter of politics seriously. Such an approach emphasises the need to develop a thoroughly materialist conception of politics, that is, a conception that does not separate the forms of human association and separation that we are used to call politics from the socio-material basis of life and from the concrete practices through which modes and forms of life are created, reproduced, sustained. With his invitation to take seriously the role that more-than-human actors play within the fabric of social conduct, Latour holds a key role within this debate. In his latest ecological-political writings, Latour suggests that we should rethink politics starting from the issue of the planet's conditions of habitability: how can this theoretical perspective be developed withand beyond Latour? To what extent do the ecological crises in which we are immersed force us to think beyond human exceptionalism? What grounds of convergence and divergence can be traced when we compare Latour's thought with other theoretical perspectives that, in a variety of ways, conceptualise the political in the human-non-human continuum?
2 – What theoretical-practical conditions of the new climate regime can turn the ecological perspective into a political one, i.e., can overcome the limitations of its positioning as a movement among others? Which of the current transformations can enable political ecology to outline the horizon of political action, by assuming the role that was previously played by liberalism, socialism, neoliberalism, and, more recently, by illiberal parties? What effects do the neo-climatic conditions—with their disruption of the macro-distinctions of nature and society, human and non-human, immanent and transcendent—have on the categories of political action and political space?
3 – The Latourian ontology of the metamorphic zone allows to reframe a new type of realism against the pseudo-realism of the causalistic narrative: a realism of mediators where previously intermediaries dominated. This approach forces us to rethink the relationship between realism and criticism. How does this new type of realism reshape the forms and practices of 'critique'? Who is the bearer of the critical instance when we overcome the human-nonhuman distinction? To what extent does the new type of realism challenge and overcome the distinction between facts and norms, being and having to be, ethics and the world? What does the normative dimension of the 'natural world' consist of?
Soft Power calls for submissions of papers between 6,000 to 6,500 words, including footnotes.
Theoretical, philosophical, historical, and interdisciplinary contributions are welcome. All papers will undergo a double-blind peer review. Articles must be written in English or in Spanish. In order to facilitate the inclusion in international databases and indexing services, abstracts and keywords must be written both in English and Spanish.
The contributions (with author's Name, paper's Title, Abstract – max 20 lines – and Keywords) should be sent to info@softpowerjournal.com
DEADLINES: Full Article must be received by March 15th 2023 (acceptance of the papers will be communicated by April 1st, 2023).
Keywords: New climate regime; socio-ecological practices; forms of critique; politics of matter; human-non-human continuum; political ecology; new realism; critical zones; political ontology; Bruno Latour.

Sovereignty, global economic governance and practices of self-determination
The debate on state sovereignty (and its crisis) has focused on the legal and political prerogatives of the state, first and foremost its acknowledged monopoly of political decision or, in Weber's terms, of the legitimate use of force. Much rarer, however, has been the reference to another economic monopoly, which has always accompanied the modern state: the sole monopoly of issuing currency, accepted on its own territory for tax purposes as well as in exchanges between private individuals or in international transactions.
Since the second half of the 20th century, at least two factors have contributed to transform the picture, making a reflection on the link between political sovereignty and monetary sovereignty, and more broadly on the economic policy, inevitable. The first one has a specific date that coincides with the decision of the United States, in 1971, to definitively abandon the fixed convertibility of the dollar into gold, thus ending the global order established by the Bretton Woods agreements. The second factor is less circumscribed, concerning the growing centrality of economic instruments in the governance of society: an evolution we usually link to the "neo-liberalization" of society, but which has, in fact, a broad echo outside neo-liberalism in the strict sense (for example, in the policies of the "third way" or in the despotic regimes that have emerged in recent decades).
Needless to say, the relationship between political sovereignty and economic governance is a particularly sensitive issue for a kind of multilevel governance such as the European Union, which does not provide for a sovereign political authority despite the existence of a European currency, a European Central Bank and economic policy measures binding on all member states. Even outside the European context, however, an in-depth examination of this issue seems indispensable in order to re-propose a set of critical questions that have accompanied the evolution of modern nation states from the beginning: to what extent can we consider the sovereign state and the free market as two independent spheres and not rather as articulations of the same governmental device? Do public and private today correspond perfectly to the classic state/market distinction, or do the processes of transformation of the state – in particular the policies of privatization of the public sphere and of destructuring welfare – require a radical re-discussion of the relationship between state and public sphere? On the contrary, how to define those spaces of cooperation, which, even within the market, hint at practices of self-determination that reformulate the strictly private and proprietary definition of autonomy?
We ask to develop the reflection on sovereignty and government of the economy along three main thematic areas:
State and currency. A reflection on political sovereignty and government of the economy starting from the question of currency, and from the relationship between monetary policy and transformations of the state, between monetary policy and fiscal policy, between debt and currency. Very useful will also be interventions on the transformations of the social function of money, and on the trasformations of the relationship between money commodity, money as medium of exchange and money as measure of value.
Government of the economy and global order: transformation and/or decline of neoliberalism? A reflection on the government of the economy in the transformation of the role of the State (and in general of the Political) in the global order. Economic policy in multilevel governance, the redefinition of institutional relations between powers (and in particular the role of monetary policy and central banks in the new international order, with a specific yet not exclusive attention to Europe). The relationship between corporate governance, State and global governance in financial globalization. Global (prepandemic and pandemic) crisis and transformation of monetary and fiscal policies, transformation or crisis of neoliberalism and theoretical and political problems related to the theme of the (questionable) "return of the State". Re-proposition of the economic planning issue.
Evolution of the relationship between the "personal" and "political" dimensions beyond the traditional dichotomies of private/public and market/state. Emergence of the effects of privatization of the public sphere and of broad processes of socialization within the market sphere itself. The development of state-independent social autonomies for example, the popular and informal economy in Mediterranean and South American metropolises. Reproduction as a crisis point of the productive paradigm and affirmation of new practices of economic policies. The crisis of contemporary welfare as a complex overlap of processes of privatization of the public and production of social autonomy and new practices of self-determination.
sovereignty and money/monetary policy and fiscal policy/currency and value/money and social relations/multilevel governance and government of the economy/democracy, legitimacy and politics of central banks/ corporate governance, global governance and lex mercatoria/financial crisis, pandemic crisis and transformations of neoliberalism/pandemic crisis, "return" of the state and economic planning/public sphere and market/social reproduction and government of the economy/debt and sovereignty/money, debt and social reproduction/private autonomy, social autonomy and legal pluralism/welfare crisis between public space and social autonomy.

Special Call Number 16 – December 2021

Gender, Institutions, Law
Gender Studies have radically changed the culture and the way we think of and structure society by providing new theoretical tools, that support the decoding the contemporary world's complexity, and by delivering new interpretative categories that move from the representation of the gender as seemingly a performative and cultural construction. In the current asset, we are urged to resemantize the political-juridical lexicon which can overcome gender stereotypes and the abstract universalism bearing the modern rationalism. This approach will guarantee an all-new "grammar of the difference" which is sensible to the pluralism of interests and ethics on play and able to reinforce gender mainstreaming in contemporary democracies.
The neutral and objectifying image of the political and juridical subjectivity is challenged by the prismatic character of the gender and by his reflexive normativity as a plural dispositive of power, which acts inside practices of constant redefinition and empowerment.
The following thematic lines will be mainly analyzed within a critical approach:
A reflection on today's unprecedently intricate relationship between powers, bodies, symbolic order and differences. The aim of this reflection focuses on the dismissal of still existing gender asymmetries in our society, with a specific consideration on the availability of bodies as consumer goods and on the resulting multiplication of rights of world scale, as a sign of the bios
The development of a culture of rights based on gender knowledges and on a non-discriminatory law, able to untie the citizenship dilemma and the ambivalence of equality, between practices of freedom, claims of rights and creation of new and plural subjectivities, also in relation with the intersection of gender with other excluding categories, such as race, religion, sexuality.
An analysis of the existing relations between powers and racial colonial subjection dynamics, acting on a national and global level. A specific regard will be given to the exploitation practices of subaltern subjects, in order to provide new interpretative keys on the issue of global justice; an analysis of the persistence, on a global scale, of a structure of patriarchal dominance, with a particular eye on the issue of gender violence and femicide.
Global gender gap, politics of empowerment and gender equality; equal democracy; multiple discriminations and intersectionality; production/reproduction, new mothers; strategies of diversity, Gender citizenship; feminization of work and migration; law, gender sexuality; judge made-law, judicial reasoning, anti-discrimination law; mediation and same-sex couples; gender-based violence and femicide.

New lines of geopolitical fracture and redefinition of the spaces of powers, exploitation and emancipation movements.
The next issue of SoftPower will be focused on the re-elaboration of a geopolitical lines cartography, in the light of the current transitions (changes), partly accentuated, accelerated and called into questions by the pandemic. The incessant change of global capitalism – both as metamorphic and flexible system of accumulation, and as form of life producing hierarchization-suited subjectifications – is a decisive factor of the fracture lines.
Once we recognize the different forms of modernity (Peter Taylor), it is not the re-proposition of Great Narrative, able to holds together opposite poles (development-underdevelopment; expansion-depression; hegemony-chaos; authoritarian-liberal democracies); the issue is rather the proposition of a thematic and from time to time circumstantial examination of the lines that – crossing them and breaking their continuity – compose and disjoint the macro-regions (intended as privileged units of analysis of material history).
The plurality of fracture lines – sometimes emphasized by propaganda, sometimes politically constructed to force the shaky institutional balances, sometimes evenementially emerging from ontological indeterminacy and complexity – shows the common concrete effect of a functional hierarchization of the world-system, beyond the partial views that only abstract thought can isolate. Is it possible – by recognizing a new complexity of subjectivities – to oppose to this common feature, the geo-historical recognition of the conflict between historically determined groups?
The issue deals with the need to examine the sequences of powers in their concreteness, in order to redefine the fronts of domination and the possible mobilization in the different policies for emancipation.
The following points are relevant to this aim:
Historical genealogy of contemporary geo-economic and geo-political hierarchies and genealogy of fracture lines
Relevance of the long time obscured approach of economy and politics (world-systems) and the concept of hegemonic transition?
Ethno-demographic dynamism of populations and inequality.
Organization of powers in the space within and beyond the state: mobilizations of the political space.
Transnational and stateless powers: finance, terrorism, Ong, media power and digital control, transnational dimension of health and environmental challenges …
Redefinition of the South(s) of the world, beyond the classical theories of the dependencia, of the desarrollo etc… as lines of exploitation and hierarchization crossing the entire planet.
Soft Power invites submissions of articles of 6,000 to 6,500 words, including footnotes, concerning these themes:
Geo-political/geo-economic maps, genealogy, hierarchization, emancipations

Postcolonialism and decoloniality. Resistance and Counter-Conducts in the Current Neoliberalism
The category of 'Colonial' shares with others classic concepts of West Modernity some euristic issues. Indeed, the assumed universality of these concepts is a contested component of their meaning.
Between the 19th and 20th century the 85% of the Earth's surface was covered with the "colonial" map. This human, political and geographical space was asserted, by the vast and heterogeneous world of post-colonial studies, to suggest a universal and secular vision of "human"; and, additionally, a "humanism" concurrently proclaimed and denied by the relationship between metropolis and colony, colonizer and colonized (Said).
The critique of colonial discourse has presented evidence of the theoretical bias implied in colonialism's themes and universals, revealing the conditions through which colonialism arose, in the framework of capitalist mode of production: marginalization, obliteration of (divergent) knowledge systems, classification and hierarchization both of spaces and human beings (Chakrabarty).
Today, in the context of a pervading neoliberal governmentality, this wide process is rendered with an all new set of tools and discourses; this governmentality is able to take advantage of the coexistence of extremely different strategies. In this regard, Quijano speaks about 'coloniality', as a system of thought which can legitimize the inequalities that exist in societies, subjects and knowledge systems, even if colonialism as a political order has reached its end. This trend leads us to question some 'classic' categories, such as development, city/periphery dichotomy, environmental exploitation or identity construction; in fact, nowadays, they seem unable to describe contemporary capitalism' s ability to grow from the coexistence of different modes of production.
In this monographic issue, Soft Power earnestly focus on the subjugation devices implied in differentiated work regimes production and post-development models. Both of these are concurrently, instrumental for Global Capitalism and for its counterbalance, i.e. subjectivation practices: fastening and rearranging differences of class, race, gender and age; furtherly, they generate the practices of resistance and counter-conducts, which are required to open escape routes within the contemporary mechanism of global exploitation.

Soft Power invites submissions of articles of 6,000 to 6,500 words, including footnotes, concerning:
Subjectivity, Transindividuality, Singularity.
The rethinking of contemporary subjectivity is at stake in the background of the subject's modern history. We aim at overcoming the dualism between the individual and the collective subject, assuming the dimension of the struggle as a privileged ground for the idea of emancipation. We want to interrogate the Marxian categories (particularly that of class subjectivity) and test their strength and usefulness in thinking through this question. In so doing, we will take the concept of singularity, developed by contemporary French philosophy, as a starting point. Singularity aims at reactivating the concept of subjectivation and avoiding the assumption of a steady-defined subject. More importantly, singularity refers to the realm of relations, which, in turn, can be connected to the idea of transindividuality. But even though transindividuality tries to overcome the opposition between individualism and holism, its connection with singularity is neither immediate, unequivocal, nor tension-free. We hope to make these tensions apparent via a materialist approach, and focusing on concrete social relations, in order to develop a variety of approaches suitable for the issue of subjectivity.

Political Theory and Post-Truth
In November 2016, Oxford Dictionaries nominated Post-Truth word of the year, «relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief».
Is it ever thinkable a political theory embedded in the reality? What are the constituencies of truth in politics? Is a political theory still able to capture the signals of fracture between political will and free formation of political will via mass- and social media? What did changed in the relationship between truth and lying in politics, from Plato to Arendt via Nietzsche? Which kind of ethos shall survive in a post-truth era?

Special Call 11° number – June 2019
The editor is Geminello Preterossi (University of Salerno)
Might this be the new class struggle?
There is no further time for class struggle. This was one of the many assumptions at the basis of the neoliberal official discourse which was dominant after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Is it so? A look back on the last decades, and specifically on political and financial establishment response to the crisis, suggests not just the persistence of the class struggle but even its efficient functioning from above. Its ideological denial underlies the succeeding of neoliberal offense that drives a devaluing of work and a systematic extraction of surplus value, with neither political restrictions nor redistribution of wealth. The symbolic field has been functional to remove or otherwise opacify the "class" interest field (how once it would be called), crediting the ideology of the end of the conflict, in attempt to neutralize the global market and competition as a universal and not partisan form of life. Analytically that implies the necessity to avoid the distinction between the symbolic level and the practical processes level because it might render to us a partial, thus unharmed, comprehension of the new political reality we are facing.
From an objective point of view, if we consider differences in interests and the social contradictions, there would certainly be reasons for class struggle as well as economic discrepancies concerning the ideologies of left and right. Rather, the actual background around the new social concern on the (economic) crisis and austerity measures is of an opposite stand: the language, applied by the left party, does not look exhaustive enough to seize and reproduce this reality and even less prepared to arrange it in a cohesive conflict. Besides, out of some rare cases, the left party looks involved with the social inferiorization, the cheap jobs, and the unemployment, all of which are implied in globalization. While the economic right side has a clear vision of the goals and the power relationships, the left side is living in a credibility crisis. As a matter of fact, the reformist left is subordinated to the economic right side which led it to shelter behind an unspecified rhetoric of hospitality that, unsupported by social policies, allow ghettos and wars among the poor; in addition to that, the subordination is the motivation behind the acknowledgement of civil rights as a way to compensate for the demolition of the welfare state. What is more, the "radical" left side cherishes dreams of a palingenesis of meta-policies, which are extremely unfeasible and ultimately with no cultural antibodies against a globalism whose dominance has been empowered by the neoliberalism.
The Laclau's theory of populism in addition to the political use of it (including European countries too) is perceived as a way to re-arrange the conflict and political subjectivity grounded on the mentioned eclipse of the "left" and on the rising of new unresponsiveness and of lines of social fracture (places against flows, downwards against upwards, identity against standardization).
The main question of this call for papers is whether or not nowadays the class struggle that is played from above is structurally forbidden and on what ideological assumptions could it be upheld.
A further investigation should consider redefining the shift from inside itself to for itself that is indeed the principal factor in the subjectification of conflict. Might it be the case that the assessment of the conflict in the shape of post-essentialism is only realizable populistically? Might it be a trade of class struggle paradigm for a populistic one (that which is undoubtedly a source of political strength although ambivalent), or rather a more strategic trade?
Is the Laclau's approach really a critical and polemical interpretation towards the hard core of the capitalistic domain and of devices it uses? Or is it just a rhetorical-linguistic instrument?
Ultimately how could it be answered efficiently but not abstractly regulatory to the shift from class struggle to identity struggle that is the result of a malfunctioning among the anomic effects of the globalization and the socially disempowering effects of neoliberalism?

Special Call 9° number – June 2018
The editors are: Federico Chicchi, Antonio Tucci
The paradigm based on the conceptual couple inclusion/exclusion, which has marked the modern juridical and political mindset, seems to be very uncertain in the currently advanced stage of neoliberal governmentality. The new imposing logic rests on the "promise" of a progressive inclusion of everyone, but it actually works with continuous selections and marginalization – when not exclusions – often in a violent and definitive way. According to Aiwha Ong, these models of social inclusion might be qualified as graduated. This method of government, in full accordance with the empowerment devices and the release of new digital technologies of control, produces new and complex hierarchies, i.e. unprecedented instances of proletarianization, new forms of slavery, new methods of exploitation and boundary rearrangements. The new salience gained by identity issues – in the forms of borders, race, gender and so on and so forth – is to be analyzed against the background of a new logic of government, largely in need of further clarifications.
Therefore, how shall we reconsider and rethink the categories of political and legal philosophy, or of the social sciences as a whole, that interrogate those issues?
The main issues of this call for papers are: differential inclusion, selective inclusion, exploitation, identity, race, borders, gender, subjectivity and neoliberalism, marginality, governmentality, digital democracy.
Papers (with Name, Title, little Abstract – max 20 lines – and Keywords) should be sent toinfo@softpowerjournal.com.

The domestication of Feminism
Half a century after the explosion of the so-called "second wave", the subversive radicality of feminism is threatened by governmental policies and discourses that focus on its domestication. Neoliberal apparatuses, which turn female freedom into entrepreneurial self-affirmation and neutralise sexual difference as one among other fragmented social identities, are added to the recurring trends, of a Marxist and liberal stamp respectively, which reduce the demand for female freedom to an issue of social emancipation or equitable inclusion of women in the democratic citizenship. How do these apparatuses work at political, legal, economic, mass media, psychic and sexual levels? Can they be challenged and countered throwing again the original bet of feminism?
The main topics are: feminism, work's feminization, sexual difference, gender, neoliberalism, neutralisation

Soft Power is an inter-disciplinary academic journal published in 2014 by the Grupo Planeta, one of the leading publishers in the Spanish-speaking world. It is supported by the University of Salerno and the Universidad Católica de Colombia. Its website is: http://www.softpowerjournal.com
The aim of the journal is to be a forum of discussion for researches and scholars interested in the changes of contemporary political and legal
orders. Through an approach that integrates philosophy, legal and political theory and history, it tries to investigate the diffused and fragmentary power dispositifs emerging forms social practices that bring to light new aspects of political and legal rationality. In particular, research interests focus on transformations of law and politics in contemporary neoliberalism.
The main topics of third issue is: Governementality and Soft Power. Its editor is Salvo Vaccaro (University of Palermo)
On one side, the concept of governmentality in Foucault introduces the notion of "conduire les conduits", that's to say a practice of power which is not hierarchical, vertical, repressive; on the other side, this same concept is useful in order to investigate the new forms of post-democratic regimes which are typical in the era of neoliberalism.
Proposals with Name, tentative Title, little Abstract (max 20 lines) and Keywords should be submitted by December 20, 2014. Acceptance of the proposals shall be communicated by January 10, 2015, but this does not commit any real publication. Articles for issue number 3 should be submitted by April 10, 2015.

TOP TALKER: "A J Street man on the Democratic ticket" by Michael Wilner: "Tapped as Hillary Clinton's running mate, Kaine "is definitely someone who has that… worldview that we support," Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of J Street, said in a phone call on Monday. "He is someone who on his own has come to these positions – not in line with the more hawkish elements of the foreign policy community, or the more hawkish elements of the Jewish community." Ben-Ami believes that the rise of Kaine, who has long leaned toward J Street's positions, is becoming the norm among congressional Democrats, who sought cover in the organization's tent during a bruising battle over Iran last year between the White House and AIPAC. "I think Kaine is a part of that," Ben-Ami continued, "and in the next decade or two, the type of foreign policy approach that President Obama has brought is likely to be the dominant approach in the Democratic Party. We're very enthusiastic about him."" [JPost] • Watch Kaine speak at J Street's 2016 National Gala [YouTube]"For Kaine, war powers issue shows a break with Clinton — and a push that fell short" by Paul Kane: "Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia is holding fast to his long-held belief that the current military operation against Islamic State forces has not been properly approved by Congress — a position that puts him at odds not only with President Obama but also with his running mate, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton."

Officials Warn Donald Trump Would Put Nation's Security 'at Risk'" by David Sanger: "Among the most prominent signatories are… two former secretaries of homeland security, Tom Ridge and Michael Chertoff, also Eric S. Edelman, who served as Vice President Dick Cheney's national security adviser and as a top aide to Robert M. Gates when he was secretary of defense… Missing from the signatories are any of the living Republican former secretaries of state: Henry Kissinger, George P. Shultz, James A. Baker III, Colin L. Powell and Condoleezza Rice. It is unclear whether the former secretaries plan to stay silent or will issue their own statements. But particularly striking is how many of Ms. Rice's closest aides at the White House and the State Department, including Philip Zelikow, Eliot A. Cohen, Meghan O'Sullivan, Kori Schake and Michael Green, are all signatories." [NYTimes; Letter]
Dov Zakheim, one of the signatories, tells us: "The letter underscored the ongoing frustration of leading Republicans in the national security community. Note that it was signed only by Republicans."[JewishInsider]
Trump responded in a statement: "These insiders – along with Hillary Clinton – are the owners of the disastrous decisions to invade Iraq, allow Americans to die in Benghazi, and they are the ones who allowed the rise of ISIS… I offer a better vision for our country and our foreign policy – one that is not run by a ruling family dynasty. It's an America first vision that stands up to foreign dictators instead of taking money from them, seeks peace over war, rebuilds our military, and makes other countries pay their fair share for their protection."
"Prominent NJ Jewish Dem Attorney Backing Trump for Prez" by Max Pizarro: "Jewish New Jersey attorney Mark Levenson, a partner in the Newark law firm of Sills Cummis & Gross, is backing Donald Trump for president. Levenson, a Democrat who went to the Republican National Convention last month, told NJ Jewish News, "I am supporting the Republican nominee. I will vote for Donald Trump. On social issues I have differences with the Republican Party, but Israel and security are my primary concerns."" [PolitickerNJ]
"Pence: Christians, Jews Would Be Included In Trump's Territorial Terrorism Ban' by Andrew Kaczynski: "Pence was asked if this meant the program would include Jewish and Christians citizens of those countries and he reiterated again the policy was based on countries where terrorism existed. "I think what you heard in the convention speech, what we talked about out on the stump is that we would temporarily suspend from countries or from territories if you will – the caliphate obviously of ISIS expands beyond one country – but to say that individuals that come from regions or countries that have been compromised by terrorism, that we would expand that immigration. I think that's appropriate until we develop a new vetting system."" [BuzzFeed]
Evan McMullin, independent candidate for president, studied in Israel: "McMullin studied in Israel while an undergraduate at BYU as a David L. Boren Scholar with the Department of Defense's National Security Education Program, through The David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies. He called his studies in Israel "a perfect capstone to the traditional coursework I had done in Provo.""[JTA; Letter]
Wasserman Schultz Challenger Ties Himself to Anti-Iran Deal Dems — by Jacob Kornbluh:"When called upon to protect Israel some legislators step up," the pamphlet reads, quoting excerpts from statements issued by Reps. Ted Deutch and Lois Frankel and Senator Chuck Schumer against the Iran deal. "Debbie Wasserman Schultz waffled back and forth before voting for the Iran nuclear deal, choosing party and personal political ambition over principle. Tim Canova sides with Deutch, Schumer, and Frankel." Andrew Weinstein, an attorney and prominent Democratic donor from Coral Springs, Florida called the campaign pamphlet "outrageous." "It is remarkable that Mr. Canova would have the audacity to utilize statements from members of Congress who have endorsed Wasserman Schultz," Weinstein toldJewish Insider. Adding, "To suggest that she is somehow abandoning Israel, is shocking."[JewishInsider]
"Defense Ministry Backtracks on Comparison Between Iran Deal and Hitler's Munich Pact" by Gili Cohen: "On Monday, the Defense Ministry said it was issuing a new statement "in light of the mistaken significance given by the media to the statement by the defense apparatus last Friday that referred to the Munich pact." It said that it had not intended to make a direct comparison with the Holocaust… The ministry also acknowledged indirectly that Iran is currently abiding by the terms of the agreement it signed with the United States and other world powers." [Haaretz]
KAFE KNESSET — Another One Bites the Dust at Netanyahu's Office — by Amir Tibon & Tal Shalev: A turbulent period continued in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office this week, as a series of cancelled or postponed appointments left important posts empty. The Prime Minister currently lacks a national security advisor, a chief political advisor, a Knesset liaison, and a cabinet secretary. Some of these positions have been vacant for more than half a year, as individuals Netanyahu hoped to appoint have undergone police investigations or given up on the proposed jobs for other reasons.
This morning's news involved David Sharan, Netanyahu's chief of staff and the Prime Minister's preferred candidate to become the next cabinet secretary. He has apparently decided to part ways with the PM, leaving his office altogether for reasons that remain unclear. Last week, the premier's chief political advisor, Kobi Tzoref, also announced his resignation, frustrated that he had not been promoted. And Jacob Nagel and Avriel Bar-Yosef, both candidates for national security advisor, removed their names from contention.
What all this means is that Netanyahu's closest professional environment is unusually understaffed — at a time when Netanyahu continues to be Foreign Minister and Minister of Communications, in addition to his "day job" as Prime Minister of one of the most complicated countries in the world.
"Pentagon Eyes US Iron Dome To Defend Forward-Based Forces" by Barbara Opall-Rome:"Israel's state-owned Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Raytheon, its US partner for Iron Dome production, are working to transform the combat-proven Israeli interceptor into a fully American system in defense of forward-deployed US forces."

TALK OF THE TOWN: "Extremely Good New York City Real Estate Drama Unfolding in NoHo" by Brendan O'Connor: "High-powered New York City real estate developer Aby Rosen has sent his business partner Jared Kushner a pretty rude message. A new billboard at a construction site Rosen owns at 337 Lafayette Street in Manhattan exhorts passersby, in huge white letters, to "Vote Your CONSCIENCE!" On Monday, Rosen posted a photograph of the billboard to Instagram with the caption, "Wake up America." The idea of "voting one's conscience" was a central tenet of the short-lived Never Trump movement that strove to usurp Kushner's father-in-law before he was formally nominated in Cleveland."

TALK OF OUR NATION: "Invented Disaster and the American Jewish Experience" by A.O. Scott: "For modern American Jews, bred in an atmosphere of religious pluralism and consumerist freedom of choice, the question of what it is to be Jewish grows more complicated with every generation. Does the essence of Jewishness dwell in religious observance or ethical questioning? In obedience to Jewish law or a taste for certain jokes and foodstuffs? In reverence for your parents or rebellion against them? And while we're at it (deep breath, heavy sigh, clenched teeth): What about Israel? The great virtue—and also the great vexation—of Jonathan Safran Foer's new novel, his first in more than a decade, is its meticulous, exhausting attention to such matters." [TheAtlantic]

Q: Install Druid on AWS EMR Just started exploring Druid we dint find any blog on link to install Druid on AWS, Is there any chance to install Druid on AWS EMR ? If so if there are any per-defined Cloud Formation to execute it will be help full for my R&D on Druid.

A: its pretty straighforward to setup a basic single cluster druid

*

*launch EMR with a single node master, like r3.4xlarge

*download imply tar (comes with druid and pivot), https://docs.imply.io/on-prem/quickstart
tar -xzf imply-3.1.8.1.tar.gz cd imply-3.1.8.1
bin/supervise -c conf/supervise/quickstart.conf

If you are looking for a full cluster deploy, EMR is not the right tool.
If you know EKS / kubernetes, I think the easiest way to get started is using Helm
https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/incubator/druid
Other option is to look for Imply Cloud
They also solid documentation around Druid. Druid'd own documentation is pretty intense. I found imply to be better for beginners.
https://docs.imply.io/cloud/
Although for POC, a single r3.4xlarge or i3.4xlarge having some 200G storage is good enough

A: The most likely reason why you would not find much documentation is that the two things have a different nature.
Druid is meant to be long lived and statefull, where the EMR hadoop variant is meant to spin up and down in a more ephemeral manner. As such the combination is somewhat awkward.
Consider using a different hadoop distribution like HDP. Of course you can easily deploy it on AWS if needed, or on your own hardware if you want to minimize infra costs.
Disclaimer: I am an employee of Cloudera, the distributor of HDP, which is currently the most common hadoop platform  under Druid.

Update 12/1/20 – Investigators have released the name of the person whose remains were found inside a Simply Self Storage unit last month following a fire. The body of Travis Sterrett, 28, of Lafayette, was identified through DNA testing, Costello said.
The preliminary causes of death were identified as smoke inhalation and thermal burns. An official cause of death hasn't yet been determined and is pending a full toxicology report.
Although the cause of the blaze is still being studied, investigators found no evidence that the unit was being used as an illicit drug lab, according to Lafayette Fire Captain Todd Budd. Sterrett might have been living in the unit, but no heating devices were found inside, he added.
Twenty storage units were damaged by the fire.
11/17/20 – Investigators discovered human remains inside a unit at a Simply Self Storage in Lafayette, Ind., following a Nov. 12 fire. The space was among several at 4900 Tazer Drive that burned at around 2 a.m., according to sources.
The death is being treated as a homicide until proven otherwise, according to Carrie Costello, chief deputy coroner for the Tippecanoe County Coroner's Office. "There just isn't much right now. I'm hoping the autopsy will give us some additional information," she said.
A forensic anthropologist is assisting the coroner's office in its investigation. An autopsy was scheduled for Friday.
Based in Orlando, Fla., Simply operates 124 facilities in 23 states. Its portfolio of owned and managed properties comprise more than 10.3 million net rentable square feet. The company was recently acquired by Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust Inc., a non-traded real estate investment platform affiliated with Blackstone Group Inc.

What is the RF coaxial connector?
RF coaxial connectors are commonly referred to as RF connectors. For RF connections, it is possible to use coaxial connectors. These RF coaxial connectors are required when the signal reaches frequencies above several million Hertz.
Since the transmission line must be used to transfer RF energy from one place to another, they need to be used. The most convenient and therefore the most common form of transmission line is a coaxial cable, which consists of two concentric conductors, an inner conductor and an outer conductor, commonly referred to as a screen. An insulating dielectric is present between the two conductors.
Coaxial cables have many characteristics, one of which is characteristic impedance. In order to maximize power transfer from source to load, the characteristic impedance of both should match. Therefore, the characteristic impedance of the feeder is very important. Any mismatch will cause power to be reflected back to the source.
It is also important that the characteristic impedance of the RF coaxial cable connector matches the characteristic impedance of the cable. If not, a discontinuity is introduced and may result in a loss.
There are a variety of connectors for RF applications. Impedance, frequency range, power handling, physical size and many other parameters (including cost) will determine the best type for a given application.
Twinlink Communication Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. is a national high-tech enterprise in China. Twinlink has been focusing on RF coaxial connectors for 12 years. It is a strategic cooperation supplier of more than 20 listed companies in China,more than 100 customers from all over the world and has industry experience. More than ten years of research and development team; industry leading mechanical, electrical, environmental and other three professional laboratories and integrated industrial chain from machining, assembly testing and electroplating.

Q: Swift Json error garbage When I make a post request to my php api my swift application gives the error:

Garbage at end

This is my json code (just for trying out):
    function getTips($params)
{
    $blessure = $params[0];
    switch($blessure)
    {
    case "hoofd":
        echo '
        "hoofd": [
                {
                    "naam": "neus in de kom",
                    "beschrijving": "neus zit in de kom",
                    "categorie": "hoofd"
                },
                {
                    "naam": "oor in de kom",
                    "beschrijving": "oor zit in de kom",
                    "categorie": "hoofd"
                }
            ]
        ';
     break;

     default:
     header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
     break;
    }
}

What am I doing wrong here?

A: You can try to send header
header('Content-type: application/json');

or put your data in assoc array and then wrap with json_encode, like this
echo json_encode( array(
   array( 'naam' => 'neus in de kom',
          'beschrijving'=> 'neus zit in de kom',
   ),
   array()
));
die();

just try)
