Risk Communication: A Comparative Study of Eight EU Countries2018Report (Other academic)
How do EU member states communicate risks to their citizens? In this study, we define risk communication as the information provided by different levels of government to citizens regarding possible future crises. The questions serving as departure points for this study are as follows: How is the administrative system for risk communication set up in the countries studied? How the different risk communication campaigns are (provided that they exist) embedded in the larger administrative context? How is risk communication strategy formulated in each country and what kind of threats are emphasized? In order to tackle these questions, we examine the risk communication strategy of eight countries: Sweden, Finland, Germany, England, France, Estonia, Greece and Cyprus. Our data consist of governmental web sites, publications, campaigns, as well as other modes of communication, such as videos posted on YouTube, with questions centering on institutional actors, methods of delivery, content, and effectiveness. We acknowledge that risk communication aims at supporting vulnerable populations and evening out imbalances, but at the same time we flesh out the power dimension of risk. In our analysis, we search for reproduction of norms and social inequality in risk communication practices. The results show that some patterns emerge regarding the way different EU countries convey information to the public, but they do not hold strictly to geography or administrative system. Digital media are the foremost vehicle of risk communication and the message generally conveyed is geared towards traditional, middle class households with the main language of the country as their first language. Volunteer organizations are present in all the countries in question, though not at the same degree. The conveyance of "self-protection" guidelines implicitly places the responsibility of protection to the individual. The results also show that in some countries, materiality has become more prevalent than the social dimension of risk in the message the public sector conveys, and that there is a move from focusing on risk to focusing on security.
Applying Systems Thinking onto Emergency Response Planning: Using Soft Systems Methodology to Structure a National Act in Sweden2017In: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Operations Research and Enterprise Systems, Porto, Portugal, February 23-25, 2017 / [ed] Federico Liberatore; Greg H. Parlier and Marc Demange, SciTePress, 2017, p. 288-297Conference paper (Refereed)
This paper outlines a soft systems method approach to model a national preparedness planning procedure for the case of an electrical power shortage. Through the model, we provide a new perspective on enhancing and understanding the joint decision-making environment for the actors involved in the planning procedure, as well as its underlying power structure. By a process of abstraction from the current implementation, a core root definition is presented which provides a generic systems view that can be a useful concept for the study of similar contexts. An action model dedicated to determining meaningful and valid activities is derived, providing insights for the improvement of collaborative emergency response planning in general. The paper, thus, aims to contribute to the communication and cooperation between actors and stakeholders in the development of appropriate decision processes and decision support in the context of emergency preparedness.

Research in Complex Planning Situations: Dimensions and Challenges From Swedish Response Planning2017In: Proceedings of the European Conference on Research Methods in Business and Management Studies / [ed] Dr Katrine Lawlor and Dr Anthony Paul Buckley, Reading, UK: Academic Conferences and Publishing International Limited, 2017, p. 432-440Conference paper (Refereed)
Even beyond the context of critical infrastructure protection, complex planning situations involve several views on and interests in problems underlying the planning. These views are often interrelated with stakeholders bringing various concerns to both the planning itself and the plan's future utilisation. Complex, real-world situations in particular challenge scholars in building appropriate research strategies and selecting adequate scientific approaches. Therefore, interdisciplinary research problems can require an adaption of traditional research paradigms to different facets of intricacy. However, debate on scientific approaches regarding how to gain knowledge has been perpetual. This paper contributes to this debate and provides a multi-perspective kaleidoscope for complex and interdisciplinary research. This kaleidoscope aims to support a selection of appropriate research strategies in accordance with a given research problem. For this purpose, the kaleidoscope helps gradually focus the problem. It begins with an assembling of research disciplines, continues with selecting adjacent research areas and completes the framework with applicable methods. As an example of implementation, the study further presents a concrete application and adapts the kaleidoscope to a complex research case. This case, called STYREL, represents Swedish response planning that is dedicated to ensuring swift response during a power shortage event. This planning process is concerned with anticipated decisions, which can quicken decision-making during emergencies, particularly during power shortages. This case can also serve as a metaphor, because designing a multi-perspective research strategy for interdisciplinary research may similarly require thorough consideration of possible alternatives and their complex combinations in advance. Both circumstances come furthermore with a constant need for argumentation and communication. For this, the paper contributes a flexible scientific frame of reference. This multi-perspective kaleidoscope, which is applicable to both theoretical and empirical complex research problems, facilitates communication about the selection process of a research methodology among the research community.
Sources of Uncertainty in Swedish Emergency-Response Planning2019In: Journal of Risk Research, ISSN 1366-9877, E-ISSN 1466-4461, Vol. 22, no 6, p. 758-772Article in journal (Refereed)
With the growing importance of enhancing modern society's resilience, planning for critical infrastructure protection has become essential. However, such national planning must contend with many types of uncertainty. This paper characterises sources of uncertainty that are associated with a lack of knowledge, as exemplified by Swedish planning of emergency power supplies. The planning under investigation concerns civil protection from the negative effects of a power shortage. A decision process is intended to support this national strategic management goal by identifying and prioritising electricity consumers who are critical to society at the local, regional and national levels. The analysis of related documentation yields three sources of uncertainty (S) interrelated with this multi-level planning (MLP) for emergency response: (S1) the planning process in general, (S2) the decision-making process in particular and (S3) the direction and guidance alongside these processes. Interviews with decision-makers reveal a detailed specification of these sources of uncertainty. The results thus provide a solid basis for further goal-directed improvement of national MLP approaches. Moreover, this specification contributes to scholarly debate on the systemic effects of sources of uncertainty due to a lack of knowledge. Lastly, the findings constitute a thinking framework that is suggested as a foundation for analytical work in similar complex planning environments as well as for evidence-based communication to the wider public concerning risks and resilience.
Strategic Objectives in Complex Planning Environments: Insights from a Swedish Case for Critical Infrastructure Protection2018Licentiate thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
Large-scale and long-term planning imposes extensive requirements on governance efforts regardless of whether it involves public organisations, private organisations, or both. The proportions of such planning entangle many actors and stakeholders as system components within and around a complex system. These system components and conditions in a complex planning environment introduce a diverse variety of strategic objectives into the planning. This study investigates how strategic objectives can affect the governance of complex planning systems, particularly in the context of national critical infrastructure protection. For this purpose, this thesis concentrates on a national planning procedure, STYREL, which Sweden has recently implemented for the case of power shortages. This case involves various actors from the national, regional and local levels who act on behalf of both public and private organisations in a planning process with four-year intervals, and it thus constitutes a relevant subject for this study. The investigation entailed the collection of evidence from documents and interviews. First, publicly available Swedish documents regarding the case provided an understanding of the planning. Second, interviews with decision-makers who are entrusted with this planning at municipalities and county administrative boards as well as with a few planners from power grid providers offered a deeper comprehension of both the proceedings in practice and the strategic objectives involved in this complex system for planning of critical infrastructure protection. Particularly, the findings resulted in several conceptual models that demonstrate these understandings in more detail. A soft system model visualises the problem situation and contains several elements, such as the system components, interrelations and conditions. Moreover, a multi-level planning model specifies sources of uncertainty in the planning and decision-making process that are associated with an insufficient alignment of strategic objectives in the STYREL case. These decompositions of the Swedish planning environment – both horizontal and vertical – further enabled this study to identify significant parameters of the systemic conditions and strategic objectives involved in such complex planning environments that challenge their governance. The findings of this study suggest that the Swedish process is not yet fully developed. The investigation particularly indicates that a better alignment of strategic objectives is necessary to ensure a selection of adequate goals and means that advances the future usability of the produced plan, which in turn would legitimate and strengthen this complex planning process for critical infrastructure protection.
The systemic implications of emergent strategic objectives in complex planning situations2018In: ICORES 2018 - Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Operations Research and Enterprise Systems, SciTePress, 2018, p. 287-296Conference paper (Refereed)
This paper develops a model for analysing systemic implications of strategic objectives in the context of national emergency response planning for the case of an electrical power shortage. Drawing on evidence from the Swedish approach, STYREL, the study emphasises the need for a thorough consideration of the various interests that are involved in such a complex system of national multi-level planning. This model provides a novel approach for analysing strategic objectives in complex planning environments, thereby offering a context for a constructive dialogue about strategic objectives, reachable goals and appropriate means among actors who are involved in such planning as well as the stakeholders it affects. Even beyond national critical infrastructure protection (CIP), the contribution of this paper is twofold: it outlines a complex problem for operations research in general and suggests a systematic approach for examining strategic objectives in complex planning environments in particular. Hence, this paper encourages a discussion of systemic implications of these various interests and an enhancement of collaboration and mutual understanding to facilitate decision-making in public and private strategic management.

Blind spots in interaction between actors in Swedish planning for critical infrastructure protection2019In: Safety Science, ISSN 0925-7535, E-ISSN 1879-1042, Vol. 118, p. 424-434Article in journal (Refereed)
Failures in the power supply threaten the safety of developed countries, as they are increasingly dependent on electricity to maintain important societal functions through critical infrastructure. To protect electricity-dependent critical infrastructure, Sweden has implemented a multi-level planning, called Styrel, which involves national-, regional- and local-level actors. This study focuses on interactions among key actors and their roles in the planning as well as the Swedish crisis management system. With evidence from interviews and a survey among the actors, analyses indicate blind spots in the current proceeding, such as the reliance of the outcome of the process on the actors' commitment to achieve a common understanding of the importance of infrastructure assets and participate in collaborations. This paper reveals that actors lack awareness, knowledge, capability and resources to fulfil their roles in the national planning for critical infrastructure protection. By highlighting interrelations, this study contributes to the international discussion of identification, prioritisation and protection of critical infrastructure to mitigate consequences of power failures for a depending society.
Swedish Multi-Level Planning System for Critical Infrastructure Protection: The Regional Core2018In: Safety and Reliability: Safe Societies in a Changing World / [ed] Haugen, A. Barros, C. van Gulijk, T. Kongsvik & J.-E. Vinnem, Boca Raton, FL: Taylor & Francis Group, 2018, p. 1893-1901Conference paper (Refereed)
With its growing dependence on electricity, modern society faces the risk of cascading failureof interconnected societal functions. To protect societal functions during an event of power shortage,Sweden has implemented a multi-level planning process called STYREL, which involves national-, regional—and local-level actors. As part of the Swedish crisis management system, the regional body operatesas a co-ordinator that organises co-operation and interaction between private and public actors. Thisstudy examines the role of the regional hub in STYREL and the collaboration and co-operation betweenplanning levels. It focuses on the co-ordinator's perspective and presents evidence from interviews and asurvey among planners at County Administrative Boards, entrusted with the supervision and executionof STYREL within their regional area of responsibility. This paper indicates that the regional co-ordinatorlacks the awareness, knowledge and resources to fulfil its core function in the national planning for criticalinfrastructure protection.

Collaboration and Decision-making in Response Planning for Power Shortages: The Swedish Policy2017Conference paper (Other academic)
Electricity is a key resource for the majority of societal functions and constitutes an important sector in the critical infrastructure of modern societies. Disturbances in power supply can have cascading effects on interdependent public sectors and ordinary citizens. However, it seems nearly impossible to completely prevent the occurrence of power shortages. Strategies to address temporary power losses are therefore essential. This paper aims to increase the understanding of national policies to manage the early consequences of power outages. Therefore, we critically review the Swedish national policy called Styrel as part of Swedish Crisis Management System. In the scientific literature, there are few examples similar to Styrel for handling emergencies in the electricity system. Particularly, we seek to discover related risks and benefits, conditions and constraints, as well as effects for specific stakeholders. We argue that the approach cannot yet be considered as fully developed. Three areas requiring improvement are identified. First, the scope and terms of the process must be specified. Second, (better) quality management seems necessary. Third, people responsible for identifying and prioritizing power consumers critical to local society need better decision aid. Improvements could facilitate risk-communication and collaboration among actors as well as decision-making and organisational learning.

Blackout Ahead: Methodological Concerns in Studies of Critical Infrastructure Protection2019In: Proceedings of the 29th European Safety and Reliability Conference(ESREL) / [ed] Michael Beer and Enrico Zio, Singapore: European Safety and Reliability Association, 2019, p. 1715-1723, article id 304Conference paper (Refereed)
This paper highlights difficulties in studying the Swedish crisis management system with a specific focus on the planning process STYREL. This process seeks to identify and prioritize vital objects in the category of critical infrastructure (CI) in order to elaborate an emergency response plan for the case of a power shortage. The concerns in this paper originate from a research project on how actors assess CI and cooperate during the process as well as which consequences the prioritization of CI pose for society and its citizens. The project employed material from document studies in addition to interviews with security officers at municipalities, coordinators at CountyAdministrative Boards (CABs), and representatives from power grid operators (PGOs). Furthermore, a survey was conducted among all CABs and the ten PGOs that are responsible for effectuating the plan within the initial phaseof a power shortage. The results reveal problems regarding the availability of relevant planning material, gaps in knowledge due to deficient continuity, difficulties in tracing particular objects during the process, and a lack of feedback that hampers evaluation and development. Thus, Swedish critical infrastructure protection (CIP) suffers from not only a shift in responsibility to regional and local actors but also a severe lack of systemic governance.
Blackout ahead: Methodological Concerns in Studies of National Crisis Management2018Conference paper (Other academic)
This paper highlights the difficulties in the studies of the crisis management system. Our focus is on the Swedish planning process in the case of power shortage, called Styrel. Our paper depart from a research project entitled From Authorities to Citizens and Back. The aim of the project is to increase the knowledge on the decision-making processes within Styrel with a focus on how the actors co-operate within the planning process, and what consequences the priorities of socially important objects have for society and its citizens. Methodologically, the project is based on document studies, interview with security officers in forty-seven municipalities, three coordinators at the County administrative board (CAB), and representatives for local power grid companies. Furthermore, a survey has been conducted with all coordinators at the CAB. The intended objective has also been to take part of the planning documents in order to investigate if there are any differences between how the objects were prioritized by the municipalities and how they were finally prioritized. Our experience from the study reviles problems with availability of relevant planning material, lack of knowledge due to deficient continuity at the local level regarding those responsible for Styrel, and finally difficulties in following individual objects during the planning process.

Are You Ready When It Counts?: IT Consulting Firm's Information Security Incident Management2019In: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy (ICISSP), SciTePress, 2019, Vol. 1, p. 26-37Conference paper (Refereed)
Information security incidents are increasing both in number and in scope. In consequence, the General Data Protection Regulation and the Directive on security of network and information systems force organisations to report such incidents to a supervision authority. Due to the growing of both the importance of managing incidents and the tendency to outsourcing, this study focuses on IT-consulting firms and highlights their vulnerable position as subcontractors. This study thereby addresses the lack of empirical research on incident management and contributes valuable insights in IT-consulting firms' experiences with information security incident management. Evidence from interviews and a survey with experts at IT-consulting firms focuses on challenges in managing information security incidents. The analyses identify and clarify both new and known challenges, such as how the recent regulations affect the role of an IT-consulting firm and how the absence of major incidents influences stakeholder awareness. Improvements of IT-consulting firm's incident management process need to address internal and external communication, the information security awareness of employees and customers and the adequacy of the cost focus.

Från myndighet till medborgare och tillbaka: En studie av samverkan och kommunikation inomramen för STYREL2018Report (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
STYREL is a planning process aiming at ensuring electricity supply to sociallyimportant objects during a situation of power shortage. The fact that STYREL is animportant planning process with great importance for securing the electricitysupply to important users of electricity is an opinion all the interviewees express.At the same time, there is also a consensus that the process is in need ofdevelopment and change in order to achieve the aims behind the process.The empirical study included documents, investigations, 65 interviews,participatory observation and participation in meetings and network meetingswithin the framework of the planning process. The critical review shows that thereare several areas of improvement to consider that could increase the quality andreduce the risk of important social functions becoming without electricity during aperiod of power shortage. The areas that are particularly highlighted in the studyconcern the necessity of integrating recurring feedback into the planning system,creating networks at both local and regional level to ensure that private-sector orimportant civil society actors is excluded and finally, further clarify the varioussteps and the different roles in the planning system. This can be achievedcomparing with international planning systems on critical infrastructure and withnational planning systems within the crisis management systems.
Multi-Level Planning Systems for Critical Infrastructure Protection:: Planning for Power Shortage in Germany, Sweden and USA2018Conference paper (Other academic)
Electricity is a key resource for the majority of societal functions and constitutes an important sector in the critical infrastructure of modern societies. Disturbances in power supply can have cascading effects on interdependent public sectors and ordinary citizens (Rinaldi et al., 2001; Cohen, 2010; Ghanem et al., 2016). However, it seems nearly impossible to prevent the occurrence of power shortages. This has been evident in the aftermath of the hurricane Lee and the hurricane Maria in 2017. Because of the changing climate, an increase of hurricanes, flooding, and high river flows, are expected. The need of a national energy policy have been addressed (see e.g. Hoffman, 2015), including policy for manual power cut in the case of power shortage. The Swedish Energy Agency has developed a national policy for handling national power shortage. The policy, called STYREL is part of Swedish Crisis Management System. This paper focus on the Swedish power shortage policy, STYREL in relation to national policies in Germany and the USA. The aim is to compare the three countries policies in the event of power shortage. The focus is on the organization of the planning process, which actors are part of the process, and how the societal important users are identified and ranked. Policy networks, including actors from both public and private sector are of special interest.
If Crisis or War Comes: A Study of Risk Communication of Eight European Union Member States2019In: Journal of International Crisis and Risk Communication Research, ISSN 2576-0025, Vol. 2, no 2, p. 207-232Article in journal (Refereed)
How do European Union (EU) member states communicate risks to their citizens? In this study, we define risk communication as the information provided by different levels of government to citizens regarding possible future crises to which the general public might be subjected. We seek to answer the following questions: Are there any patterns in the risk communication strategies among EU member states in terms of the sender of information, the message conveyed, the method used, and the intended audience? Finally, to what extent is the state involved in ensuring the safety of its citizens? To tackle these questions, we examine the risk communication strategy of eight countries: Sweden, Finland, Germany, England, France, Estonia, Greece, and Cyprus. Our data consist of governmental web sites, publications, campaigns, and other modes of communication, such as videos posted on YouTube, with questions centering on institutional actors, methods of delivery, content, and effectiveness. We find that the institutional architecture of risk communication aligns with the broad administrative system of each member state. Countries tend to focus on risks that are specific to their context, with Sweden and, to a lesser extent, Germany having a special focus on consequences and providing guidelines to the public on how to survive for a certain period of time in the absence of the state. Especially in Sweden, though the state is a salient actor in risk communication through the dissemination of information at the agency level, the state retreats while urging the resilient citizen to take control of his or her own crisis management.

Rosenstein, who is supervising special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election, said the Department of Justice was not convinced the memo accurately describes its investigative practices. He said making the document public could set a dangerous precedent, according to a person familiar with the discussion.
While Wray also expressed opposition to the memo's release, Rosenstein did much of the talking, according to a senior U.S. government official. Attorney General Jeff Sessions was not present at the meeting.
In response, Kelly told Rosenstein and Wray that the president was still inclined to release the memo but the White House would go through a review led by the National Security Council and the White House Counsel's Office, a senior administration official said. That review is expected to take at least several days, a senior White House official said.
Trump has not yet seen the memo, according to a White House spokesman.
The West Wing meeting Monday with Kelly, which was originally scheduled to discuss other matters, is the latest sign of the tension between the administration and the Justice Department. That divide has deepened in the charged debate over the memo detailing alleged surveillance abuses by the FBI and the Justice Department, a document championed by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
Rosenstein's urgent push to head off the disclosure of the classified memo came after Kelly privately relayed to Sessions last week that Trump wants to see the document come out, as The Washington Post reported Saturday.
The effort also comes amid questions about Rosenstein's own future. The president has told close advisers recently that the memo could provide him with grounds for either firing or forcing the deputy attorney general to leave, according to one person familiar with his remarks.
The White House, the Department of Justice and the FBI all declined to comment.
The showdown over the memo comes after Trump has lashed out at a number of top Justice Department officials. After firing FBI Director James B. Comey last spring, he has told aides at times that he would like to oust Sessions and Mueller. The president backed off a threat to fire the special counsel last June after White House Counsel Donald F. McGahn threatened to resign.
Trump's interactions with senior law enforcement officials have drawn scrutiny from Mueller's team, which is probing potential obstruction of justice.
White House officials have downplayed the Justice Department's role in the decision whether to release the memo. On Monday, deputy White House press secretary Raj Shah said on CNN that "the Department of Justice doesn't have a role in this process."
The release is increasingly probable after the House Intelligence Committee voted along partisan lines Monday night to release the memo, giving the president a five-day window to decide whether he agrees with the release. Leading Republicans have said it uncovers abuses that should be made public. Democratic lawmakers have said the document is a political tactic to undermine the Mueller investigation.

જપ-તપ-તીરથ, વૈકુંઠ પદ મૂકી ભક્ત બોલાવે ત્યાં જવું રે.
All the Vaishnav (Devotees of Lord Krishna) are my beloved and I can sing about them incessantly. I keep going to the place where my devotee is calling, and leave behind every mantra, penance, holy places and even the paradise.
મેં મારું અભિમાન ત્યજીને દશ વાર અવતાર લીધો રે.
The king Ambarish (a great devotee of Lord Krishna) was very dear to me and Sage Durvasa cursed him. I had abandoned all my pride & took upon all curses on me and had incarnation for ten times.
ઊંચ ને નીચ હું તો કંઈ ના જાણું, મુજ ને ભજે તે મુજ જેવા રે.
I'm always searching for my sacred devotees sitting on an eagle. I don't know about the higher or lower caste (the levels created by the society). The one who worships me is equal to me.

Laxmiji (Goddess of wealth) is my other half but she works for my devotee. All the sixty-eight holy places, ten millions of Ganga (Holy River) and ten millions of Kashi (Holy Place) are at the foot of my devotee.
જે મારા ભક્તની નિંદા કરે તેની જિહવા સત્ય જ કાપું રે.
I walk ahead of my devotee and am awake when my devotee is sleeping. I hurt the tongue of the person with the truth who slanders my devotee.
એક વાર વૈષ્ણવ મુજને બાંધે તો તે બંધન મેં નવ તૂટે રે.
The ones controlled by me can only be freed by a Vaishnav but the ones controlled by a Vaishnav cannot be freed ever. That bonding will never break which a Vaishnav has created with me once.
વૈષ્ણવજનથી હું પણ નથી અળગો : ભણે નરસૈંયો સાચું રે.
I listen by standing when (my devotee) is sitting and singing (a prayerful song). I start dancing when (my devotee) is standing and singing (a prayerful song). I am not at all detached from a Vaishnav : Narsaiyo (The poet – Narsinh Mehta) has learned it (through his devotion to Lord Krishna) correctly.
"I'm looking for a maid for my relatives residing nearby. Can you please help?" she asked.
"Yeah sure, give me the exact address and I'll ask my maid to visit your relatives." I replied.
That old woman pointed towards a direction and showed me the place where her relatives were living and later described whole story about her family & their relationship with them. But not the details which are needed to get the help!
But she was not aware or confused. She might have forgotten the exact details due to her old age. She was actually trying to help someone by 'Asking for Help'; but she was not having the exact details to get the help.
I wanted to help her directly by sending my maid to their relative's place but I couldn't, just because of lack of information. Though, I shared the residence where my maid is living and asked her to meet my maid with her relative. But I'm not sure whether she'll remember that too! I wish she can truly help her relative. Well my motive to share this story is just to explain - Be Clear about your wants!
You want to become successful, be clear and set the exact targets with time duration.
You want your teammates to help you in achieving a particular goal, be clear and provide complete details.
You want your family to help in balancing work n life, be clear and ask for the consideration and ease.
You want your children to understand their responsibilities, be clear and provide perfect guidance.
You want to help someone, be clear about their real needs and help so.
You want God to help you, be clear and state exactly about your needs in prayers. He listens and acts according to your clear intentions. I loved the dialogue of The God saying 'Ask and you shall receive it!' in a movie Evan Almighty.
To get the visible results, keep intentions clear and work for it. If needed ask for the help. And also be clear about your expectations with self and the other. Clarity in mind gives clarity on the work progress.
We all live with this fear of Attack. Any time, any day, any where it happens! We all are disturbed and genuinely helpless! We all show our condolence, our anger, our frustration towards it but deep inside we worry about tomorrow. We all are looking for the ultimate solution! Me too… It is not like I have found the ultimate solution and I'm sharing it with the world but yes the thing which I have found is one way to reach the World Peace. It might be slow process but is one sure way to attack back to the terrorism!
I do believe in God! I do believe in Happiness and Positivity! I do believe in Peace! I do believe in Miracles and Prayers. While reading a book on Prayers I found below shloka of 'Bhagwad' which is about Peace and blessings for every living ones.
Meaning: Oh God, Please prosper the entire world with your blessings. Let all sinful people leave their crookedness and become pure. Let all living ones think for each other with wisdom. Let our minds become blissful. Let our deliberation always be devoted to God with absolute kindness.
For World Peace - a ripple in rhythm.
જીત અને હાર થી પર 'નિર્મળ રમત' છે તું..
'Param Samipe' is a book for the great collection of Prayers in Gujarati language. Ms. Kundanika Kapadia has done the acquisition of 'Param Samipe' prayers and written few of them. She believed that a Prayer is our love towards God, its happiness of love, and it's offering of our heart. Sometimes we pray to come out from difficult situations and sometimes we pray to get the light on our deep desires. Below prayer 'મને શીખવ' (Teach Me) of 'Param Samipe' is from the section of prayers written by Ms. Kundanika Kapadia herself.
સંજોગો વિકટ હોય ત્યારે, સુંદર રીતે કેમ જીવવું તે મને શીખવ.
બધી બાબતો અવળી પડતી હોય ત્યારે, હાસ્ય અને આનંદ કેમ ન ગુમાવવા તે મને શીખવ.
પરિસ્થિતિ ગુસ્સો પ્રેરે તેવી હોય ત્યારે, શાંતિ કેમ રાખવી તે મને શીખવ.
કામ અતિશય મુશ્કેલ લાગતું હોય ત્યારે, ખંતથી તેમાં લાગ્યા કેમ રેહવું તે મને શીખવ.
કઠોર ટીકા ને નિંદાનો વરસાદ વરસે ત્યારે, તેમાંથી મારા ખપનું ગ્રહણ કેમ કરી લેવું, તે મને શીખવ.
પ્રલોભનો, પ્રશંસા, ખુશામતની વચ્ચે તટસ્થ કેમ રેહવું તે મને શીખવ.
Teach me how to live beautifully, when circumstances are complex.
Teach me how not to lose happiness & laughter, when everything is being adverse.
Teach me how to keep calm, when circumstances are encouraging anger.
Teach me how to keep working patiently, when task seems very difficult.
Teach me how to grasp only needed things, when there is a rain of harsh defame and backbiting.
Teach me how to become impartial, in-between temptations, praise & flattery.

What Kenya needs to do better as it braces for fourth wave of COVID-19
Kenya is grappling with the COVID-19 Delta variant, which recently resulted in the western part of the country being put into lockdown. It now threatens the capital, Nairobi.
A modelling forecast from the Kenya Medical Research Institute in June 2021 warned of an imminent fourth wave with attendant risks of health service demand exceeding capacity. The Delta variant is much more transmissible than its predecessors, such as the Alpha variant, but it does not appear to cause more severe disease.
The modelling study is a welcome alert to the dangers of the Delta variant. Its findings should be used to inform preparedness by both public and private sectors. In other parts of the world, the variant has spread fast including in those who are partially immunised, overwhelming health services.
The big concern is how Kenya will fare this time around.
The Kenyan government reacted quickly to the previous three waves. But the public has felt some pandemic fatigue. And the economy and social life in general have been negatively affected.
Two doses of the main vaccines provide good protection against hospitalisation and severe disease. The country's rollout so far has been limited to COVAX supplies and donations, and a concerted effort to procure more using local and donor funding is necessary.
Kenya's strengths – and the gaps
As of July 29, there were 199,941 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 3,895 deaths in the country. A partial explanation for the low fatality number is Kenya's younger population with fewer co-morbidities and less obesity. But there may be other explanations too. It is likely that there is already a high percentage of the population that has been exposed to COVID-19 from earlier waves and so will have some immunity against it.
The government has done some things well. There was, and continues to be, prompt national action with a national emergency response committee, coherent mitigation messaging, daily briefings by the Ministry of Health on case numbers, positivity rates and hospital utilisation, and dedicated treatment facilities.
The health system as a whole has shown resilience after an initial decline when the pandemic started, with most healthcare services, like maternity care, now back to normal or near normal. In addition, coordination of testing across the country has been instituted and includes genomic testing.
Because of the limited supplies of available vaccines, only about 2% of the population has been vaccinated. So far, the Astra Zeneca has been the only available vaccine but others including the Johnson and Johnson and Pfizer are expected in August. There are ambitious plans to cover the whole adult population by 2022 using donated and locally procured vaccines.
There are, however, areas where more action is needed, particularly in the face of a potential fourth wave.
The main gaps are in the capacity of the health system. Oxygen provision is low especially in the public sector. In addition, there are too few intensive care unit beds.
And then there's the need to ramp up vaccination efforts. Vaccine procurement is limited to the government. In addition, administration is being done by the government distributing – from their limited supplies – to public and selected private facilities. As vaccine supplies increase globally, allowing non-public sector provision would help raise coverage.
Adherence to mitigation measures such as mask wearing and social distancing is limited. Myths about COVID-19 abound, and there is deep scepticism about the threat the virus poses.
Effective responses are also being hampered by vaccine hesitancy and government corruption scandals.
What needs to be done
The new Delta variant is a serious threat because it is much more easily transmitted. Prompt government action is necessary to put prevention measures in place and enforce them.
A major effort is needed to help hospitals test and report results quickly for optimal patient care, particularly in the public sector. The government took a decision early in the pandemic to limit antibody testing to research studies. This constrains both clinical care and surveillance of the prevalence of COVID-19 in the population which would otherwise give more insight into the nature of the pandemic in Kenya and population exposure.
More testing and contact tracing should be in place.
There also needs to be better coordination of bed availability across counties and the country.
The potential for larger gatherings to be super-spreaders is a clear concern. The government should bring people and policymakers together, working with communities to reduce complacency, improve education and awareness and to enforce adherence to mitigation measures.
The vaccination programme needs to be expanded and expedited. Using local knowledge and networks is essential to prepare people and health services for a rapid vaccination scale-up.
In terms of treatment and care, the single most important aspect is oxygen. It is vital to be able to give higher levels of oxygen such as with a high flow nasal canula. These are available in some private facilities but in very short supply in the public facilities.
In the previous surge in March 2021, few of the public hospitals had sufficient oxygen and even private hospitals were running out of supplies. While many of the public hospitals had facilities for generating oxygen, some were not working. This is all exacerbated by delays and high costs for medical equipment and repair parts, often costing double the amounts paid in Europe or North America.
And, finally, Kenyans themselves have a responsibility to take precautions and get vaccinated. They should avoid large gatherings, such as political rallies.

Denmark coach Age Hareide may regret making dismissive remarks about France before the World Cup when they meet in Moscow today, opposite number Didier Deschamps has warned.
Last month, Hareide said that France are "nothing special" and lack leaders, and said Paul Pogba cares more about his hair than his football.
France are expected to make several changes, but Deschamps said Denmark would be given no "helping hand" and his objective was clear: win and top the group.
Deschamps' men have already qualified for the knockout stages after wins over Australia and Peru, but Denmark, on four points, need a draw to guarantee a place in the last-16.
"It wasn't nice, but my players know what the coach said."
On his line-up for the Group C decider, Deschamps admitted this game was his last chance to rest and rotate players but denied it would be a "risk", as every player in the France squad is good enough to step in.
He also gave short shrift to the idea this could be Pogba's last World Cup, an idea that surfaced after the Manchester United midfielder made a comment about the scrutiny he is under in France and elsewhere.
Deschamps pointed out his playmaker is only 25, "so it's highly probable he will play in another World Cup", and said Pogba was "good in his head, happy and very motivated".
Hareide claimed his negative assessment of this French vintage had been taken out of context, as he was only comparing the team with the 1998 World Cup winners, "the best version of the French team we've seen".
In fact, the Norwegian did his best to row back by praising Deschamps' "excellent players" and describing Pogba as a "player without equal in Europe".
France defender Raphael Varane had earlier been asked if he and his team-mates are fed up with being compared to that side, but said: "No, not all. We won the World Cup! We can get inspiration from what they did."

Q: Compiler presenting errors although Scanner is imported? import java.util.Scanner;

public class System {

    public static void main(String[]args){
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        String cName, cContact, cAddress, cIC, cDob, cGender;
        int i;
    }
}

Sorry if this was a repost, but i've searched high and low for a good answer, some suggested having to import java.util.Scanner which i already have, the problem is compiler kept having the error at line Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
"cannot find symbol
symbol: variable in
location: class System"

?! is the library corrupted or something? using NetBeans IDE 8.0.1.

A: Try not to use the names System or Scanner for your public class or any other class in your project.
For example:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ChangeName{  //change the name of the class here. do not name it System or Scanner
public static void main(String[]args){
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    String cName, cContact, cAddress, cIC, cDob, cGender;
    int i;
}

}
I hope this help you!
