Continental Re press release on the PSI
Lagos, 29 April 2019
Leading African insurers and reinsurers and the UN are meeting in Lagos this week to drive economic, social and environmental sustainability – in other words, sustainable development. Under the auspices of the United Nations Environment's Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) – the largest collaborative initiative between the UN and the insurance industry – international experts are meeting leading Nigerian insurance practitioners to focus on three key themes:
• Closing the Risk Protection Gap
• Resilient Cities
• Sustainable Food Systems and Agriculture
The purpose of what has now become an annual PSI African Market Event is to bring together leading practitioners and thinkers within the African insurance 'ecosystem', the UN and key stakeholders to share experiences and ideas to support the growth, profitability, responsibility, resilience and sustainability of the African insurance industry, and to drive sustainable development on the continent.
Dr Femi Oyetunji, group managing director & CEO of Continental Re plc, the first African reinsurer to sign the UN's PSI principles, said: "As risk managers, insurers and investors, the insurance industry has an important role to play in making communities and economies inclusive, resilient and sustainable. The recent devastation wrought by Cyclone Idai, and now Cyclone Kenneth, is yet another wake-up call for the urgent need for action and collaboration to better manage risk and support sustainable development."
The inaugural PSI African Market Event took place in Johannesburg in April 2018 and was hosted by Santam Insurance, the first African insurer to sign the UN's PSI principles. Butch Bacani, who leads the PSI Initiative at UN Environment, said: "The world is facing an increasing number of sustainability challenges – from climate change, environmental degradation, and pollution; to social inequality, financial exclusion and major health risks. This is why world leaders have committed to delivering prosperity for all on a healthy planet through global goals such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. In this context, we are delighted that the African insurance industry is working together and demonstrating the leadership and ambition needed to drive sustainable development."
The second PSI African Market Event, hosted by Continental Re at the Wheatbaker Hotel in Lagos, will consider key environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues – also known as sustainability issues – for the Nigerian insurance industry, as well as the wider African insurance industry. It will look at how these key sustainability risks and opportunities are being addressed across the following insurance industry activities:
• Risk management (risk assessment, risk analytics and modelling, risk reduction)
• Insurance (across lines of non-life and life & health insurance)
• Investment (across asset classes)
• Insurance regulation and supervision
John Melville, chief underwriting officer of Santam Insurance, said: "Sustainability issues such as climate change and environmental degradation are leading to diverse, interconnected and complex risks, but also present new opportunities for collaborative action to mitigate risk and improve physical and financial resilience. This is why it's crucial that African insurance leaders, the UN, and key stakeholders are gathering in Lagos to find solutions to tackling the continent's most pressing sustainability challenges."
Dr Oyetunji added: "Whether it's the cyclones in Mozambique, the droughts and wildfires in South Africa, ebola and malaria across the continent, or the floods in Lagos, there is no question that we must urgently meet the sustainability challenge. We are proud to host the second PSI African Market Event in Lagos and look forward to working with our peers in the African insurance industry and the UN to move from awareness to action, and deliver positive impact."

Tino took an interest in guitar playing when he was 16 years old, a while back! In his last year at school he built an electric guitar. He then went on to college where he met Peter Moore, a follow guitarist and fan of Status Quo. This was around the time when twin guitar bands came to fore, while Thin Lizzy & Wishbone Ash became major influences. From there Praying Mantis was born, more information can be found at www.praying-mantis.com Mantis became one of the pioneers of the NWOBHM. From these roots a family tree was born which included certain members of Paddy Goes To Holyhead. Tino joined the band in late '87, replacing Andy Scott who was too busy with his production work to continue. After about 18 months he left Paddy to form The Wandering Crutchlees with Mal McNulty & Jeff Brown, who by this time were involved in Andy's new look Sweet, and Bruce Bisland. In 1990 Praying Mantis were invited to Japan, where they have a loyal following, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of NWOBHM. Tino and Danny remained good friends through the years and hooked up again in 1999 when they formed 'The Glam Stars', along with his brother Chris, Mal McNulty and former Mantis drummer Dave Potts. The band only done a handful of shows, while P.G.T.H. was between gigs, after which Danny invited both Tino & Chris to join him in the new look Paddy Goes To Holyhead.

ATE Market Gets More Crowded
Intel, National Instruments join the fray as other companies develop their own.
October 16th, 2014 - By: Mark LaPedus
Over the years, the automatic test equipment (ATE) industry has undergone a dramatic shakeout. In fact, the ATE industry has shrunk from about a dozen major vendors several years ago to just three sizable companies today. There is also a smattering of smaller ATE players in the market.
In other words, the big ATE vendors became bigger and the mid-sized players were gobbled up. The consolidation also left chipmakers with fewer choices in terms of ATE vendors and test platforms in the market.
But suddenly, the landscape is once again changing in ATE, which, in turn, could give test managers some new and different options. In perhaps the most intriguing event, Intel is entering the test market. Intel is offering foundry customers the use of its own, internally built tester. In addition, National Instruments is entering the commercial ATE market. And separately, a number of companies continue to expand their modular instrument lines based on the PXI standard, enabling chipmakers to build their own full-blown testers.
So what are the options today? Test managers can take the traditional steps to expand their ATE capacity—buy a commercial ATE system; utilize a tester at an OSAT; or crank up their existing and under-utilized testers.
Going forward, test managers can also explore some new options—check out Intel's test offering; look at the new ATE player in the market; and build a tester from scratch. In fact, building a tester is a viable path, as Altera, Intel, Micron and TI have built their own ATE over the years.
The best option depends upon on the requirements and cost. "Companies like Altera and Intel know enough about their technology. So, they can build their own testers," said G. Dan Hutcheson, president of VLSI Research. "But if you build your own tester, you have to be as good as the commercial guys. It also takes a lot of discipline to build a tester yourself. So, most find it's better to buy a tester from a commercial ATE supplier."
Buying vs. building
In the early days of the semiconductor industry, chipmakers built nearly all of their own fab equipment. In those days, the merchant IC-equipment industry was non-existent. For example, Fairchild, TI and other chip pioneers built their own ATE. Then, the tide began to turn in 1960, when Teradyne was formed and began to sell commercial ATE. Other merchant ATE vendors soon followed, prompting most IC makers to scrap their internal test efforts and buy commercial ATE.
But over the years, some chipmakers attempted to build their own testers. Some succeeded. Many failed. "Those who have decided to try and build their own ATE systems have been challenged by the ongoing R&D investment required to meet device roadmap requirements. There are also service, training, and ongoing support issues," said Dave Armstrong, director of business development at Advantest, a commercial ATE supplier.
"It is not easy to build a tester from scratch. In order to achieve a high level of performance at a reasonable cost, we use many custom integrated circuits in our testers. Those who try to use off-the-shelf components have a big challenge in front of them. Most, if not all, end up with a performance level which is limited," Armstrong said. "In addition, the hardware investment is often a fraction of the total cost of building a tester. Software development is typically a much larger investment."
So not surprisingly, when it comes to the question of buying versus building a tester, ATE vendors believe the best option is obvious. "Buying commercial ATE is a lower risk path," he said. "You get a total solution."
Still, there are a few holdouts from the past, namely FPGA giant Altera. "Back in 1988, Altera was encountering a similar dilemma as other companies," said Terry Barrette, director of tester and manufacturing engineering at Altera. (Barrette joined Altera in 2011.) "At that time, cost of test was very high. The type of tester Altera needed wasn't available. And if you did buy a high pin count tester, it was extremely expensive."
So at the time, Altera built its own tester. And today, to test many of its parts, Altera continues to use its own, internally built ATE, which is a Windows-based, structural tester. "We still find it cost effective to build our own testers, but we are in a unique situation. For us, it works," Barrette said.
Still, Altera is beginning to evaluate commercial ATE. "The cost of the tester has come way down. The capabilities are more flexible," she said. "There are certain areas in which we are evaluating commercial ATE to meet some of our requirements. That doesn't mean we are moving away from our own, in-house proprietary tester."
Another chipmaker, Texas Instruments, took a different path. In the late 1990s, TI developed a tester, dubbed the Very Low Cost Tester (VLCT). Originally, the VLCT was a digital-centric machine that tested DSPs and baseband processors. Over time, the VLCT also provided mixed-signal and analog test capabilities. "Fifteen years ago, ATE costs were rapidly increasing. Test costs were simply becoming unacceptable," said Michael Jarboe, test cell infrastructure manager at TI. "Building this tester at the time was important in enabling the competitiveness of the products we supplied."
Over time, TI's test strategy evolved. The company continues to use the VLCT, but it also began buying commercial ATE several years ago. "Today, many businesses can be served by commercially available ATE," he said. "For example, our embedded processing business can leverage the higher multi-site capability of the new generation of ATE to achieve reduced test cost."
Open and modular ATE
Altera and TI have no plans to sell their in-house ATE to the commercial market. Another chipmaker, Intel, is taking a different approach. Intel's interest in test surfaced more than a decade ago, when Intel, Renesas, Advantest and others formed an ATE consortium. The so-called Semiconductor Test Consortium (STC) hoped to reduce the soaring cost of test by devising a modular and open architecture for the ATE industry.
At the time, though, the STC failed to get broad support from the industry. This, in turn, derailed the organization and put an end to the idea of creating an open platform in the proprietary ATE test world. What did evolve from the STC was the development of the T2000, a modular and digital tester. In turn, Advantest assumed control of the T2000 and continues to sell the tester today.
Over time, Intel took many of the same concepts from the STC and built its own next-generation, modular tester. Intel's tester, dubbed the High Density Modular Test (HDMT) platform, ranges from a desktop engineering system to a full-blown tester.
Intel uses the HDMT platform to reduce its own test costs by twofold. Now, Intel is making the test platform available to its foundry customers, which, in turn, could get a leg up on the competition. "This platform doesn't come with just hardware," said Sunit Rikhi, vice president of the Technology and Manufacturing Group at Intel and general manager of Intel's Custom Foundry unit. "It's an entire methodology that we've built (in terms of) how we test our complex products in engineering and take them rapidly into production."
There is a catch, however. HDMT is only available to Intel's foundry customers. Intel won't sell the tester in the merchant market. The tester from Intel is a modular but proprietary system. The same is true with the testers from the commercial ATE vendors. The question is whether test managers want an open and modular tester, as once envisioned by the STC.
In fact, for some time, members from the PXI Systems Alliance have been developing open and modular ATE systems based on PXI technology. The PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) standard defines the specifications for modular, PC-based instruments for use in a multitude of applications, such as military, communications, consumer and industrial. PXI makes use of PCI Express technology as the backplane, enabling bandwidths from 132 MB/s to 12 GB/s.
In theory, by assembling select PXI modules into a system, a chipmaker could build its own semiconductor tester from scratch. For example, a chipmaker could buy a parametric measurement unit (PMU) from a number of PXI vendors. The PMU enables DC parametric functions. Then, the chipmaker would buy other pieces and integrate them.
"You could purchase a good chassis," Altera's Barrette said. "If you had your own software, you could put the building blocks together and build your own tester. This is all very possible."
Still, there are some tradeoffs when building your own tester, said Luke Schreier, senior manager of automated test marketing at National Instruments, a supplier of PXI instruments. "If you are in a conventional space like microprocessors and memory, Advantest and Teradyne are building testers that are suited to the problem," Schreier said.
But for some applications, it might make sense for a chipmaker to build its own tester. "Ultimately, it's an economic decision," he said. "The reward that comes from building your own tester is flexibility. You can optimize your tester for exactly what you need and not pay for a single pin you don't want."
Still, many chipmakers do not have the resources and expertise to build their own PXI-based testers. To help solve that issue, National Instruments has recently entered the ATE field by rolling out its own, full-blown tester. The tester is a PXI-based system designed for use in testing analog, mixed-signal and RF devices.
The system can also be reconfigured to support various applications. "We represent a different choice," he said. "It's a hybrid approach between building versus buying. You can take the panels off and put any modules and instruments in there. It's designed around helping people build their own test system."
In fact, two chipmakers, IDT and Infineon, are among the first customers for the new ATE systems from National Instruments. Time will tell if the concept catches on. But clearly, it gives test managers something new to think about in an otherwise dwindling ATE market.

Lagrange brackets are certain expressions closely related to Poisson brackets that were introduced by Joseph Louis Lagrange in 1808–1810 for the purposes of mathematical formulation of classical mechanics, but unlike the Poisson brackets, have fallen out of use.

Definition
Suppose that (q1, …, qn, p1, …, pn) is a system of canonical coordinates on a phase space. If each of them is expressed as a function of two variables, u and v, then the Lagrange bracket of u and v is defined by the formula

Properties

 Lagrange brackets do not depend on the system of canonical coordinates (q, p). If (Q,P) = (Q1, …, Qn, P1, …, Pn) is another system of canonical coordinates, so that

is a canonical transformation, then the Lagrange bracket is an invariant of the transformation, in the sense that

Therefore, the subscripts indicating the canonical coordinates are often omitted.

 If Ω is the symplectic form on the 2n-dimensional phase space W and u1,…,u2n form a system of coordinates on W, the symplectic form can be written as

where the matrix

 ::

represents the components of , viewed as a tensor, in the coordinates u. This matrix is the inverse of the matrix formed by the Poisson brackets

of the coordinates u.

 As a corollary of the preceding properties, coordinates (Q1, ..., Qn, P1, …, Pn) on a phase space are canonical if and only if the Lagrange brackets between them have the form

The Cuba Solidarity Campaign supports the sovereignty of Cuba, opposing the economic blockade imposed on the country by the United States of America since 1962. Ambassador Cárdenar conceded that "under the Obama government the embargo has been relaxed a little," but she added: "It's still true economic war and the embargo is a sophisticated weapon to use."
Rob Miller added: "The blockade is as pernicious as ever," and explained the need for the UK government to increase pressure on the US.
"Cubans have the right to shape their own destiny," he said, "and by giving them the freedom to trade openly, would give them the freedom to do so."
Trade restrictions imposed through the embargo have cost the Cuban economy an estimated US$750 billion and had a devastating affect on the country's ability to develop its economy and social infrastructure. Despite this, the Cuban Government has worked around the limitations imposed by the blockade and made massive achievements in health, education and social services for its people.
"Cuba is not a perfect society," the ambassador said, "but the Cuban Government has the overwhelming support of the people. This is not easy when you have a superpower on your back constantly trying to subvert the revolution and the achievements made."
Continuing, she said: "The US has never forgiven Cuba for housing a socialist state in its back garden". Ambassador Cárdenar pointed out, however, that the effect of America's continuing blockade were often perverse - citing the suffering of children with cancer who are being denied potentially life-saving treatment because of trade restrictions on medical drugs.
Mr Miller agreed: "There are still shortages in Cuba. It's a developing country and there is always a need in developing countries like that, but they are not asking for charity. They are asking for equal rights; to be able to stand on their own two feet, trade freely and get America off their backs."
Mr Miller argued that the main focus of the campaign is political solidarity and urged the CWU to encourage affiliation of all branches and regions that are not already affiliated with the campaign.
CWU general secretary Billy Hayes (left with Ambassador Cárdenar) echoed his sentiments for all CWU branches and regions to affiliate with the campaign, adding: "The achievements of Cuba are an inspiration. Cuba means a lot to the CWU and we will continue to work in solidarity to promote the campaign, exert political pressure on the UK government and actively support the plight of the Miami 5."
'Free the Miami 5' is a central focus of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign, opposing the imprisonment of five Cubans falsely accused and wrongly imprisoned in the US in 1998 for alleged espionage.
Hoping for a breakthrough in the Miami 5 campaign this year or next, both Ambassador Cárdenar and Rob Miller thanked the CWU for all the work done by the union to actively support the people of Cuba and the Solidarity Campaign over its 11 year affiliation - and looked forward to emboldening this relationship going forward.


I have one of the best jobs in the world…..
It is so rewarding to me to be able to photograph each child as they are born into a family.
The looks on Mom's faces and the tears of joy. when they see their children's portraits for the first time.
It absolutely melts my heart when a newly married couple shares that first kiss after being pronounced husband and wife.
I have been in the photography business since 1998. Many things have changed since then. It is exciting to watch my clients grow during their first year of life and celebrate their first birthday.
This is me…this is what makes life worth living… and this is what I love to do.

A fondness for feathers
The feathers of a scissortail flycatcher emerge from a block of wood when Charles Wolfe gets busy carving birds at his garage-turned-studio in Fayetteville.
There's an American Kestrel perched on a branch, one of an array of birds that look alive enough to sing. Hawks, bluebirds and cardinals emerge when the wood chips fly.
Woodcarvers show, sale
The 38th annual Woodcarvers of Northwest Arkansas show and sale will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 16 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 17 at Frisco Station Mall in Rogers.
Carvings of wildlife, including birds, fish, bears and more will be on display, said Gerald Drogman, show chairman. There will also be carving demonstrations wood turnings and a whittling contest.
Information: www.woodcarversnwark.com.
Source: Staff report
Wolfe's birds of art are even more beautiful in the natural settings he creates. Dogwood blossoms, wildflowers and the leaves of hardwood trees take shape at his skilled hands.
People are occasional subjects of Wolfe's carving, but birds are his specialty.
He's always like to carve in wood, and he's always liked birds. His love of wood came while working in a cabinet shop in California. A fondness for feathers grew when he moved to Fayetteville in 1975. The notion to carve hit around 1964 when he bought a book about carving waterfowl. Wolfe didn't rush into the craft. It was 1998 before he carved his first bird.
Woodcarving classes at the Jones Center for Families sent Wolfe on the carving journey that he enjoys today. He's mostly self taught. That includes learning the painting skills that put the finishing, lifelike touch on his works. A base coat of white goes on first, then Wolfe adds color after studying photos of the bird he's carving.
Hand tools and powered ones help Wolfe transform a block of wood into a bird. Tupelo is his favorite carving wood. The body of the bird is carved. Then Wolfe carves the bird's wings and attaches them later. He wields a small sanding tool or a woodburning pen tools to add feather detail.
Some of his projects take years. A hawk that Wolfe just finished took six years to complete. He enjoys every step that leads to a finished carving.
"I like the inventive process as much of the carving. It's a challenge to create the right display you want," he said.
Wolfe shares his carving prowess with others. He's a member of the Woodcarvers of Northwest Arkansas and teaches classes with the group. They meet three times a week in Rogers.
Birds aren't the easiest wildlife to carve, said Wolfe's friend and fellow carver Gerald Krogman.
"I've tried birds, but I'm not too good at them," Krogman said. "He's really developed a talent for doing that."
Both carvers will display their work at the 38th annual Woodcarvers of Northwest Arkansas competition, show and sale.
Krogman is chairman of the event. Nature is well represented in the show, he noted. Carving of critters large and small will be part of the event. Krogman specializes in carving fish.
The birds Wolfe brings only look like they'll fly off his table.

Pacheco Place-Project Hope Westside: Mental Health Services Act funding was utilized for the purchase in January 2012 of an 8-unit apartment complex in Los Banos, referred to as Pacheco Place – Project Hope Westside. Pacheco Place serves adults and older adults who are chronically homeless and have a qualifying serious mental illness and be functionally impaired due to their illness or a co-occurring condition of mental illness and substance abuse. These are individuals with a myriad of complex and often untreated physical health disorders. While MHSA funding was utilized to purchase the building portion of this project, HUD Continuum of Care Permanent Supportive Housing and MHSA funding are being utilized to pay for the subsequent supportive services provided through the Pacheco Place project. Pacheco Place has one unit with one bedroom and one bathroom for the property manager. The property manager salary and operating expenses are funded through the HUD grant. The remaining seven units have two bedrooms and one bathroom and are reserved for residents who demonstrate that they are eligible for MHSA housing through Merced County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services and the Merced County Community Action Board certification process. The complex has an onsite laundry facility, a picnic and barbeque area for communal gatherings and adequate parking and is located within three blocks of Westside Transitional Center in Los Banos with access to transportation. The mission of services and the committee is to support stability, meaningful activity, community integration and permanent housing. Tenants agreeing to supportive services are served by a combination of resources provided by Full Service Partnerships (FSP) and Merced County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services staff. Support staff focuses on skills and issues related to the participants' successful adaptation to the community and daily application of recovery principles to promote ongoing self-determination.

Q: Evitar camelCase en una propiedad al serializar JSON Buen día. suponiendo tengo la siguiente clase:
public class ChangePartNumMasterRequest
    {
        public string PartNum { get; set; }
        public bool LSubstitutePartExist { get; set; }
        public bool LIsPhantom { get; set; }
        public string UomCode { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "SysRowID")]
        public Guid SysRowID { get; set; }
    }

hago una conversión con newtonsoft.json de un objeto tipo ChangePartNumMasterRequest, pasándolo a notación camelCase:
var request = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(body
                    , new JsonSerializerSettings { ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver() });

Al servicio que llamo, me dice que no estoy pasando el parámetro SysRowID. al revisar mi request, veo que newtonsoft le da camelCase a ese parámetro (a pesar de que se lo estoy indicando que lo debe dejar con mayúscula con el JsonProperty). Realicé la petición en postman dejando el parámetro como SysRowID y mi petición funciona. no puedo modificar el servicio de destino. ¿Puedo hacer que "ignore" el pascalCase de alguna manera sólo para ese parámetro? es decir, esperaría algo así:
{
  "partNum": "LI0040",
  "lSubstitutePartExist": false,
  "lIsPhantom": false,
  "SysRowID": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", //este mayúscula, el resto no
}

A: Lo encontré, leyendo la documentación, encontré que la propiedad NamingStrategy de las configuraciones pascalcase (la clase CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver), te permite especificar configuraciones del mismo. al modificar las configuraciones a las siguientes, empezó a respetar el nombre de las propiedades cuando se especifican:
JsonSerializerSettings settings = new JsonSerializerSettings
            {
                ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver
                {
                    NamingStrategy = new CamelCaseNamingStrategy { OverrideSpecifiedNames = false }
                }
            };

dentro de CamelCaseNamingStrategy tiene una propiedad OverrideSpecifiedNames, que es un booleano en el que, si está activo, reescribe el nombre de los parámetros aunque estén especificados. si se desactiva, cuando tú especifiques un parámetro, se respetará tal cual y no intentará serializarlo.

Strategy-Proof Voting for Single Issues and Cabinets
S. Maus, H.J.M. Peters*, A.J.A. Storcken
In a model with a continuum of voters with symmetric single-peaked preferences on the one-dimensional unit interval (representing the political spectrum) a voting rule assigns to each profile of votes a point in the interval. We characterize all voting rules that are strategy-proof, anonymous, pareto optimal, and which satisfy a weak form of continuity. This result paves the way for studying cabinet formation rules. A cabinet is an interval which has obtained sufficiently many votes. The main result on cabinet formation is a characterization of all cabinet formation rules that are strategy-proof with respect to the endpoints of the cabinet, anonymous, pareto optimal, and continuous.

Recently, one of my Zumba ladies came to class absolutely raving about a baked chicken recipe she had made. She listed off the ingredients: chicken, ham, spinach, mushroom, white wine, onion soup mix; and I had to admit, it sounded divine!
When I got home, my best friend, Google, and I got to work and honed in on the recipe! I made a few adjustments: prosciutto, fried onions, fresh herbs and got to work.
The recipe was just as easy and delicious as promised. It was another hit that the entire family enjoyed, even my picky eaters!
If you can't find thinly cut chicken breasts, butterfly thicker chicken.
Place a layer of chicken in the bottom of a greased baking dish. Place a slice of prosciutto on top of each chicken breast. Layer the remaining chicken and prosciutto over the top and sprinkle with half of the herbs.
Top with the spinach, mushrooms, and remaining herbs and season with freshly ground pepper.
Whisk together the wine, olive oil, bullion, minced onions, onion powder, celery salt, and turmeric and pour over the chicken. Cover (with a lid or foil) and bake for 30-45 minutes (depending on chicken thickness) or until the chicken is cooked through.
Sprinkle the cheese over the chicken bake, followed by the fried onions. Bake uncovered for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the onions are browned. Serve immediately.

'It's not safe at this point' – With spiraling COVID-19 cases Mississippi teachers to rally against reopening schools
By Magnolia State Live
Published 5:56 pm Thursday, July 16, 2020
Mississippi teachers are planning a rally at the state Capitol Friday to urge state leaders not to reopen schools for the upcoming school year as the state's coronavirus statistics continue to worsen.
A Facebook group called "Mississippi Teachers Unite" is organizing the event, and organizers list two demands:
That the Mississippi Department of Education postpone reopening schools until Sept. 1 to ensure safe environments for students and teachers. The department must also make sure schools can meet current CDC safety guidelines and not allow schools to conduct in-person classes until those needs are met.
Fully fund schools so that districts and teachers do not have to purchase their own personal protective equipment to return to work
The group identifies itself as "a non-affiliated grassroots group of Mississippi teachers, school staff, and supportive community members who are concerned for the safety of our students, ourselves and our communities in returning to school."
"All of us want to be back with our kids is the biggest thing," said Max Vanlandingham, a teacher involved in planning the event. "Parents want their children to be in school, kids want to be in school, teachers want to be in school, but it's not safe at this point."
He emphasized Friday's 11 a.m. rally is not a strike, but a group of teachers voicing their concerns about returning to the classroom as the number of new cases and deaths continues to rise in Mississippi. Teachers cannot legally strike in Mississippi or they will be fired from their jobs and banned from teaching in the state thereafter.
The event comes on the heels of dire warnings from public officials. Last week the state's top health officials pleaded for people to take the virus seriously as hospitals and ICUs are running out of beds and having to turn away patients. Rolling averages for patients in an ICU have increased for 16 consecutive days, and the number of patients on ventilators have increased for the past nine days.
"It makes no sense to rush back into a model that we deemed unsafe four months ago," said Don Turner, a Mississippian who has organized the Mississippi chapter of Safe Return to Campus, a group advocating that schools do not return to campus until counties show no new cases for 14 days. "There's this kind of laissez-faire attitude taken and no clear directive from leaders."
Gov. Tate Reeves last week said he was still "100 percent committed" to districts starting school this fall in a "safe, responsible way." When the pandemic became serious in the spring, Reeves closed school buildings and districts had to pivot to remote learning. As schools across the state are preparing to open up for the new school year, the state Department of Education has given them three options to choose from: in-person, traditional schooling, virtual learning, or some hybrid of the two.
Each school district has to make a decision and post it to its website by July 31. Many have already done so, making tough decisions about how and when students will report back to the classroom if at all, how lunches will be served and bus transportation will work.
However, as the number of cases in the state continued to reach an all-time high last week, Reeves announced a mask ordinance for 13 counties based on criteria of having seen 200 new cases within the last 14 days or an average of 500 cases per 100,000 residents over that time. This throws a wrench in plans for districts in those counties, which now have to figure out how to operate and comply with the mandate which limits social gatherings to 10 people indoors and 20 outdoors.

We're a wasteful nation. We throw away 13lb of food weekly, and £500 of food is thrown away annually, per household – the most of any country in Europe. Food waste not only has financial implications, but environmental ones too. Over 3.5 million tonnes of food was disposed of in a sewer or landfill.
While food waste may not be top of your priorities – it really is an issue we need to tackle. We reached out to some food bloggers for some handy tips on how to reduce food waste at home, and stop throwing money away!
Planning all your meals for the week, including lunches, makes grocery shopping a breeze. It will be easier to make a list, and stick to it. By having all of your meals planned, you won't fall into the trap of buying extra items at the store that aren't necessary.
If you eat a lot of veggies and find that you have ends and trimmings, bag them up and make a flavourful stock at the end of the week. Alternatively, if you have a garden or allotment you can create your own compost!
If you find that you have copious amounts of leftovers, and haven't planned for it with you meal plan, freeze the leftovers. Alternatively, if it's a meal that can't be frozen, plan to freeze something else within the week. Don't have freezer space? Consider sharing with your neighbour, or someone at work.
The sooner you get to them, the easier it is to serve as snacks and meals through the week, saving time, effort, and money.
Keep track of contents and dates of leftovers in the fridge, freezer or cupboard. This will take the guesswork out of clear-outs.
Herbs have a fairly short shelf life and quickly wilt in the refrigerator. Use fresh herbs as quickly as possible, otherwise preserve and store them for later use with various techniques such as making flavored oils, making herb cubes, and drying/crushing the herbs for use in spice mixes.
Growing your own vegetables is the best way to ensure your produce is fresh and you can pick it right when you need it! You don't even need a garden – lettuce and herbs are easily grown in pots!
Buying frozen vegetables is a great way to avoid wasting produce that would otherwise have a shorter shelf life at fridge temperatures.
Best Before dates are more of a guideline than a rule. Use your common sense, and your other senses too! Does it look okay? Smell okay? Taste okay? It's probably okay! Best Before dates refer to quality rather than safety, so you won't get ill if you continue to eat the food once the date passes. Be strict with Use By dates, especially with meat, seafood, and dairy.
Supermarkets are now selling their wonky fruit and vegetables, preventing unnecessary waste and also making produce cheaper. Sure, that bent carrot or lopsided mushroom won't win any beauty prizes, but they'll still taste great in any recipe!
Make sure you place new food at the back of the fridge, so you get to older food first rather than throwing it away. Also, how you organise your fridge can affect the longevity of the food you keep there. Check out our handy guide below to help your food last longer!
Door Shelves – the warmest part of the fridge. Don't be tempted to put milk here! Condiments with natural preservatives such as mayonnaise or jam are best here. Juice can be stored here, too.
Upper Shelves – the best place for leftovers, cooked meat and ready-to-eat prepared foods. Make sure you bring older food to the front so it can be eaten first.
Middle Shelves – this is dairy's place to shine. Keep cheese in its original packaging, if possible, to help it last longer.
Bottom Shelves – the coldest place of the fridge should be reserved for raw meat and seafood. Keep uncooked meat and fish away from any cooked food to prevent cross-contamination.
Drawers – these drawers help fresh produce to retain moisture. Storing leafy greens with some kitchen roll will make them stay fresher for longer.
Don't refrigerate potatoes, onions, garlic, tomatoes, bananas, bread, honey or unripe stone fruits such as peaches, plums, cherries and avocados.
Don't store bananas in the fruit bowl – the other fruit will ripen much faster. Wrap the stems in Cling-film to prevent early ripening. Need an avocado to ripen quicker? Store it in a cool, dark place with a banana.
Don't store onions and potatoes together – they'll deteriorate faster.
How do you prevent food waste? Let us know in the comments! We hope you'll start saving food and saving money too.

Mike Tyson Net Worth - How Rich is the Former Heavyweight Champion?
Bran Published On Wed Nov 25 2020 Modified On Wed Nov 25 2020
Mike Tyson was a multi-millionaire with hundreds of millions to his name, but he ended up losing it all. Stay here as we take you towards the details of his net worth and income sources.
Like Pele to football and Michael Jordan to basketball, Mike Tyson is for boxing. The 54-year-old retired boxer holds the reputation as one of the best heavyweight boxers of all time, who even had the nickname of 'Iron Mike' and 'The Baddest Man on the Planet.' Furthermore, he was even the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title following his victory at the age of 20 years, four months, and 22 days old.
Mike Tyson is a legendary figure in all-time boxing, as he won 50 of his 58 fights throughout his highly successful career. The former WBA and WBC heavyweight champion made a massive fortune alongside fame from fighting and winning a lot of matches. Consequently, he became one of the richest boxers in the world at one point, but some bad decisions in his life made sure that the money didn't stay in his account for a long time.
Mike Tyson's Net Worth Was Cut By 10 Times

Mike Tyson was one of the richest athletes on the whole planet during the peak of his career. He rose to prominence at a juvenile age, winning his first 19 professional fights via knockout. Interestingly, he beat the likes of James Smith and Tony Tucker, which helped him become the talk of the town. Thus, he started getting big contracts and bonuses for the fights he competed in.

In the early 1990s, Mike Tyson's net worth reached a huge milestone of $300 million. However, that colossal amount of bank balance wasn't there to stay as he started losing much of his income after a few years. In 1992, he was convicted of rape charges, which sent him to prison until 1995.

You would be quite surprised to know how Mike Tyson's bank balance has decreased by ten times at the moment. He currently gathers a net worth of $3 million, huge for anyone else, but a lot less in his standards considering his income in the past. As per estimates of Forbes, his net worth could have reached around $685 million, if not for some rash decisions.
How Did Mike Tyson Get Bankrupt?
While Mike Tyson might have had a lot of success in the boxing ring, his decisions outside weren't quite rational. The whole world was in shock when he declared bankruptcy in 2003. Even though he earned over $30 million from fights and around $300 million from his whole career, his personal life saw many controversies, which led him to that point.

Mike Tyson is a two-time divorcee to wives, Robin Givens, and Monica Turner. The divorce agreements did see him segregate a substantial amount of his income to his former partners as spousal and child support. Apart from that, he made some rash investing decisions like spending his money on luxurious cars and expensive houses. Surprisingly, he even believed in showboating as he spent to pet tigers. In 2003, the media reported that he had debt worth $23 million.

When your child begins to explore the world, he will often have questions about what he sees. See more parenting pictures.
Answering a Child's Questions About Death As we begin our examination of difficult questions children ask, we will offer some general tips for answering tough questions. Whether of grave importance or absurd silliness, your child's questions should be taken seriously. Then we will move on to one of the hardest subjects to talk about with a young child -- death. We will discuss various ways you can bring up the subject with your child, and ways to react once he poses the question to you. We'll also tell you when not to talk to your child about death and the euphemisms you should avoid.
A divorce, or even a sustained period of distress in the home, can take an enormous psychological toll on your children. While child will not understand all of the dynamics occurring between you and your partner, they will be able to sense that something has changed or is not quite right in the home. In this section, we will learn how to tell your child about a divorce or separation, and how to deal with the questions that will inevitably follow. For instance, it is common for children to blame themselves fro problems in their parent's marriage.

Home Feminism Feminists are launching a database to identify everyone who disagrees with them
Feminists are launching a database to identify everyone who disagrees with them
George Orwell rolls in his grave.
The feminist themed website Socialautopsy.com is attempting to create what it calls a "database where we capture [people] exercising [their free speech] rights and create digital records for them that anyone can access."
The website, which prides itself on being a tech startup run almost completely by women, claims that the Internet offers people the chance to harass and abuse others without any fear of repercussions – which they are attempting to change.
"For every cat meme your best friend tweets at you, or for every 'I miss you comment' your grandma leaves on your Facebook wall, there are literally thousands of hate speech being circulated online. Because when communication happens through a screen, and when moments are experienced through a lens, a terrifying expression takes place. The age of technology and social media has slowly disintegrated individual accountability. The consequences of which are devastating"
A video uploaded on the project's kickstarter page says.
"We are fostering a society of online bullying, social tormenting and irresponsible sharing"
"UNTIL NOW" the video states.
The founder of the project, Candace Owens, claims she wants to bring the Internet back to the "old school 'say it to my face' mentality". "The answer is simple" she says, "we can achieve this through accountability".
She explains that the way the website works, is that, people collect and take screenshots of other people's online activities, link and connect them to their place of work, and attach that person's personal information (which technically counts as doxxing), so that anyone, anywhere, can search for and access them.
The kickstarter page goes on to state that they have secured a temporary patent for their "technology" and that a large portion of the donations they receive for the project will go towards paying their legal team to handle legal problems they expect to face.
Understandable, you cannot reveal people's information online without expecting some backlash, who would have thought?
The website plans to launch with at least 150,000 profiles, and they promise to pay for a team of interns during the summer to increase productivity.
The social Autopsy website (not yet functional), has features that allows anyone to search their database, and submit the profile of literally anyone:
The submit a person sections then prompts you to state the individual's First and last names, their city/state, their current employer, their social media accounts, their school, and finally, screenshots of their "actual words, comments, statuses and tweets"
At the writing of this articles (14th April, 2016), the project current has 54 backers, pledging a sum total of $4,244. By kickstarter policy, the project will only be funded if at least the $75,000 goal is pledged by Tuesday, May 17 2016.
Evidently, we're not the only people alarmed by the project, as 530 people have already signed a petition for kickstarter to terminate the campaign. The petition, which describes the project as Orwellian, argues that the methods employed by Social Autopsy encourages individuals to feed others social media information into their database for tracking purposes intended to be used in mob bullying, shaming and harassment tactics. "This effort to collect data even includes (and in their own words actively seeks) data on legal minors and young people. "
"In addition to being ethically questionable, their desired platform also poses significant legal questions in respect to privacy throughout the US and EU which must be fully addressed before this can, if at all be allowed to move forward. Beyond this, submissions to the site of names and social media information are themselves anonymous, making such the perfect online tool for revenge smearing or personal attacks.
Though posed as an anti-bullying effort, it is in reality nothing short of an attempt to create a new platform by which to use mob and bullying tactics to attack those with whom the creators and users dislike or disagree with. We who have signed this petition implore Kickstarter to cancel SocialAutopsy.com's campaign effort so as to protect countless individuals, including those whose names and information have already been added into their database without their permission from the sorts of bullying tactics that the site and its creators intend on it being used for.
Additionally, I'd like to encourage all signers to report the campaign to Kickstarter as a violation of its community guidelines."
The petition argues. And they're not wrong.
Anyone who thinks this is an "anti-bullying" campaign is either incredibly stupid, or willfully ignorant. This is just another attempt by Social Justice crybabies to create the means, which allow them to get people fired from their workplaces and ruin their lives, just for holding differing opinions from them – Just as they have done so many times before.
Why this project will not work
As soon as Social Autopsy launches, I myself plan on uploading lots of fake profiles and photo shopped images onto their database, and I will advice everyone else to do the same. The website boasts that it allows users to upload people's information anonymously, and that anonymity will be its ultimate undoing. Good luck going through thousands of submissions to find which ones are legitimate. Anyone who donates money to this project is being duped, it will never work. The Internet won't let it.
UPDATE: Funding for the project has been suspended by Kickstarter. We are not currently aware why, or if this article had anything to do with it, either way, we here at AgeOfShitlords are glad with their decision. Thanks for standing for free speech, Kickstarter.

Tomahawks End Losing Skid, Defeat Knights In Shootout
JOHNSTOWN – The Johnstown Tomahawks edged the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights in an exciting 3-2 shootout win Friday night at the Cambria County War Memorial.
The first goal of the game was scored by Filips Buncis at 8:01 of the first period. Donovan Ott and Edward Hirka picked up the assists on the opening goal. The Tomahawks second goal came with just 30 seconds left in the first period and was assisted by Hayden Rowan.
The Knights had a tough time getting shots on net recording only five shots in each of the first two periods only scoring once in the second. The goal was scored (unassisted) by Knights defenseman Keenan Sabatini. The Knights tied up the game 2-2 at 7:13 in the third period, Dorian Dawson was the one who slipped the puck by Johnstown goaltender and first star of the match Vinnie Purpura.
In overtime, Purpura made save after save, including one incredible diving save where he stacked the pads to reject a rebounded shot. The overtime period was the only period in which the Knights had more shots than the Tomahawks.
In the best of three shootout, the Tomahawks defenseman Adam Pilewicz buried the first shot on the Kinghts goaltender, Grant Valentine. Tomahawks goalie, Purpura, saved all three shots in the shootout leading the team to their victory.
Tomorrow's matchup between the Tomahawks and Knights at The Cambria County War Memorial should be an interesting one. The series between the two teams is 3-2 with Johnstown having three wins on the Knights so far this season.
