Derrick Ssewanyana
Derrick is Public Health enthusiast who is currently pursuing his PhD studies in Adolescent Health at Utrecht University, Netherlands. He previously graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Health Science from Makerere University in Uganda and a M.Sc. Public Health from University of Southern Denmark.
His current PhD research is focused on defining the forms, patterns and underlying factors for health risk behavior of adolescents in low resource settings at the Kenyan Coast. His special focus is to examine these forms of behavior among adolescents infected or affected by HIV/AIDS at the Kenyan coast. His research will help to adapt culturally appropriate tools for measuring health risk behavior among adolescents. It will also fill important knowledge gaps for example on the impact of HIV associated executive functioning deficits and other potential determinants of risky behavior among HIV infected and affected adolescents. This shall benefit interventions and policy in the field of HIV care and management and adolescent health in general.
Derrick has previously worked on projects in water and sanitation, humanitarian healthcare, sexual health and substance abuse management programs in East Africa and Europe. Derrick enjoys sports, nature, charity drives and music.

Dorcas Magai
My educational background includes a Masters in Clinical and Developmental Psychopathology from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, in The Netherlands and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Kenyatta University, Kenya.
One in four people globally will be affected by mental health and neuorological disorders at some point in their lives, placing mental disorders among the major causes of disease and disability globally. My great interest is understanding the etiology, diagnostics and intervention of psychopathology in children and adolescents. My focus is to determine the development of psychopathology; establishing personal, social, and biological factors that contribute to this development; the use of scientific knowledge to improve detection and diagnostics of psychopathology; and how we can influence children and adolescents' psychopathology through preventive and clinical interventions.
My PhD project is on the long-term consequences of severe ill-health during the first 28 days of life on thinking and learning abilities, and mental health of school aged children. Specifically, I'm interested in neonatal conditions such as yellow coloring of the skin (neonatal jaundice) and inadequate oxygen flow in the brain (hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy), which are likely to injure the child's brain and affect their development.
By examining the adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes of neonatal insults, we hope to contribute to identifying salient points of intervention to enhance the quality of life of children who experienced these neonatal insults.
Kashero Kaingu
I have a background in social sciences and I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Public health at Pwani University. I have completed my coursework and am now doing my project. My project is on HIV amongst adolescents in Kilifi and my topic is ''Academic achievements and experiences among adolescents living with HIV in Kilifi.'' My main inspiration towards doing a Master's in Public health and a project that gives emphasis to adolescents living with HIV is embedded on the view that there has been little effort on these adolescents which in turn will affect the health outcomes of the general population in the near future and therefore something needs to be done to salvage the situation. My supervisors for this particular project will be Professor Amina Abubakar and Allan Davies in whose tutelage I expect to grow competently in research.
Ezra Too
I pursued Nursing and Public health in my undergraduate level at Pwani University and currently pursuing a postgraduate diploma in health research methods; a course that is jointly offered by Pwani University and Kemri-Wellcome trust. My project is titled, 'Burden and risk factors for common mental health disorders and substance abuse disorders among young people living with HIV in low and middle income countries.' Supervised by professor Amina Abubakar and Moses Kachama. I aspire to be at the forefront of the research field, to be part of a community that aims to make the world a better place through research.

:: The film "A Day Without a Mexican"
:: La película "Un día sin mexicanos"
Quick on the heels of the massive :: March 25th mobilizations and the :: student walkouts during the following week, :: April 10th, 2006 was a historic day of action for immigrant rights across the USA. "The Great American Boycott" on May 1st will show the next.
The Government of the USA plans to implement the "Border Protection, Antiterrorism and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005" (:: HR4437), also known as Sensenbrenner's or anti-immigrant act HR4437, which would make 12 million undocumented people in the United States into felons as well as anyone who aids undocumented people in anyway.
HR 4437 is a bill designed to "shut down illegal immigration." It calls for the construction of a two layered fence along 700 miles of the US Mexico border. It additionaly mandates for the departments of Defense and Homeland Security to draft plans on how to use military technology to stop border crossings.
In March 2006 around 3 million people participated in demonstrations and different kinds of actions across the US against HR 4437. Between 500,000 and 1 million people filled the streets of downtown Los Angeles on :: March 25th, 2006 on its own.
On April 9th and 10th 2006, immigrants and their allies gathered in cities across the US (the slogan '100 demonstrations in 100 cities' was given out) to oppose the harsh and unworkable House Resolution 4437, and call for the full enfranchisement of all immigrant workers. These protest built on several weeks of mass protest on this issue in what amounts to the largest display of decentralized, coordinated protest in US history.
tens of thousands of people took the streets in Los Angeles [ :: 1 :: 2 ], and in :: Santa Ana, while 5,000 marched in :: St. Louis, 10.000 participated in :: Oklahoma, 15,000+ at any one time in :: Salem and :: Nashville, and 10,000 raised their voices in the largest march in :: Fresno's history. :: San Diego also made history with a march of up to 100,000 people on April 9th. There were mobilizations in the :: Bay Area, in :: Tennessee, in :: Rochester, NY, and in :: DC. In :: Portland, up to 8,000 marched, while thousands gathered in Love Park in :: Philly. Allies mobilized in :: Pittsburgh. In Arizona, people were on the move in :: Flagstaff. There were major marches and actions in :: NYC and :: Boston, and Houston Indymedia provided a :: blow by blow of actions in Texas. In :: Charlotte people organised a Boycott for Immigrant Rights.
On 6th of April 2006 proposed compromise legislation stalled in the Senate. Protesters say they seek real immigration reform that is comprehensive, respects civil rights, reunites families, protects workers, and offers a path to citizenship for the current undocumented and future immigrants to the US. The US Congress has been forced to :: backpeddle on brutal anti-immigrant legislation, but they are nowhere near to meeting the :: demands of the movement, especially amnesty for all. So the movement for immigrant justice keeps rising, with more major actions planned in the coming weeks: :: April 15th is a student day of action, and :: May 1st will be "The Great American Boycott" - a historic day of action, with calls for a general strike, boycott, no sales or purchases, walkouts, marches, and actions in financial centers and at anti-immigrant corporations throughout the country.

Next up for Rams: A rematch with the up and down Seattle Seahawks

By Rich Hammond | rhammond@scng.com | Orange County Register
PUBLISHED: November 6, 2018 at 12:48 pm | UPDATED: November 6, 2018 at 12:48 pm
There are no half measures this season with the Seattle Seahawks. They have a 4-4 record, with three double-digit victories, while the four losses have come by a total of 23 points.
Seattle seemed to have gotten back on track in October. Their two-point home loss to the Rams was sandwiched between four victories, and the Seahawks found an identity with a strong run game.
Then, last week, multiple breakdowns doomed the Seahawks in a loss to the Chargers. Now, it's rematch time against the Rams. Given the uninspiring nature of the NFC West, the Rams (8-1) essentially could clinch the division with a victory Sunday at the Coliseum, but Seattle isn't giving up on this season.

"So close to getting it done," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told reporters in Seattle this week. "I'm hoping the second half of the season will allow us to finish those games and give us the wins that we want and turn the season into a really positive year for us."
There's still reason for confidence in Seattle. Three years ago, the Seahawks also started 4-4, then closed the season with a 6-2 run, won the division and won a playoff game.
Beating the Rams will take a lot. The Seahawks, in recent weeks, had based much of their offense on running back Chris Carson, who topped 100 yards in the first game against the Rams, but Carson had to leave last Sunday's game because of a hip injury, and his status for Sunday is in question.
Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson also will have to get going. He had a handful of big pass plays in the first meeting against the Rams, but finished with only 13 completions overall.
WHO'S COACHING THE SEAHAWKS?
Carroll ruled the Coliseum during his years as USC coach, but his two return game as Seattle coach have been a bit ugly: a 9-3 loss to the awful Rams in 2016 and a 16-10 victory in Oct. 2017.
Carroll's Seahawks haven't finished under .500 since his first two seasons, when they went 7-9, but there's some danger this season as the Seahawks sit at 4-4. After they face the Rams, the Seahawks have three very winnable games — two against San Francisco and one against Arizona — but also have games against Kansas City, Carolina, Minnesota and Green Bay.
— 10: Number of points by which the Rams were favored when the opening betting line was set. The Seahawks haven't been double-digit underdogs going into game since 2010.
— 4: First downs, out of 15, converted by Seattle's offense against the Chargers last week. The Seahawks had converted 22 of their 37 third-down attempts over the previous three games.
— 7: Consecutive games the Seahawks have gone without a 100-yard receiver. In their eight games, they've had four different leading receivers.

The loss of Carson would be a significant blow to the Seattle offense, but without prompting on Monday, Rams coach Sean McVay mentioned the production of Mike Davis, Carson's likely replacement.
When the teams met last month, Davis was Seattle's secondary option against the Rams but still totaled 68 rushing yards and one touchdown, and averaged 5.7 yards per carry.
Davis' role diminished over the next couple weeks, as the Seahawks focused on Carson in the run game, but after he got hurt last week against the Chargers, Davis took over and finished with 62 rushing yards and also caught seven passes for 45 yards.
WHAT DID HE SAY?
"We've figured out how we want to play. We have a real sense for that. … Now we have to find a way to get the wins."– Carroll, on the Seahawks' offense and close games.

Q: Timer in windows service stops triggering after day or two, GC or faulty logic? I have small windows service which should write some data to web service from time of day to time of day, in regular interval which user sets up.
For ex. from 8:00 till 22:00 every 20 minutes
But after few times 10 or so triggering the callback, timer just stops, there is nothing in Event log and service is working fine meaning no exception crashed him.
Code is quite simple:
private Dictionary<string, Timer> m_timers = new Dictionary<string, Timer>();

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
      // load settings

      foreach(var settings in userSettings)
      {
         SetUpTimer(settings);
      }
}

private void Callback(Settings settings)
{
    try
    {
       //Write some data to web service
       //Write to event log that web service write suceeded
    }
    catch(Exception ex)
    {
       //Write to event log
    }

    SetUpTimer(settings);
}

private void SetUpTimer(Settings settings)
{
    Timer timer;

    if (m_timers.ContainsKey(settings.Name))
    {
        timer = m_timers.Where(x => x.Key == settings.Name).Select(x => x.Value).FirstOrDefault();
        // Dispose timer (there is rumor that it can slide after few days), just to be sure.

        if (timer != null)
            timer.Dispose();
    }

    TimeSpan timeToFirstRun = settings.TimeFrom - DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay;

    while (timeToFirstRun.TotalHours < 0 || timeToFirstRun > settings.TimeTo)
    {
        timeToFirstRun += TimeSpan.FromMinutes(settings.EveryHowMuch);
    }

    if (timeToFirstRun > settings.TimeTo)
        timeToFirstRun = settings.TimeFrom - DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay + TimeSpan.FromDays(1.0);

    timer = new Timer(Callback, settings, timeToFirstRun, new TimeSpan(-1));

    if (!m_timers.ContainsKey(settings.Name))
    {
        m_timers.Add(settings.Name, timer);
    }

    // Write to event log that it sucessfully set up for next callback
}

A: Well, you have a really big flaw here:
You dispose a timer, but you don't remove it from m_timers. The newly created timer with this name will never be added to the dictionary and will, as a consequence, get collected by the GC at some point.
Furthermore, you should be using TryGetValue instead of ContainsKey in conjunction with a LINQ query.
The top part of your method should look something like this:
Timer timer;
if(m_timers.TryGetValue(settings.Name, out timer))
{
    timer.Dispose();
    m_timers.Remove(settings.Name);
}

Approximately 70% of institutional investment managers believe that the risk of inflation will increase over the next six months, according to a Northern Trust survey.
A majority of managers (62%) expect market volatility (as measured by the VIX Index), to increase over the next six months. Responses on both questions were at their highest points since the Northern Trust survey began in the third quarter of 2008.Twenty-six percent of the managers increased their portfolio exposure to commodities during the first quarter, a possible result of the increasing expectations that inflation is set to rise over the next six months.
More than half of those surveyed believe that oil prices will continue to rise over the next six months, with 90 percent of managers expressing the view that increased oil prices will negatively impact economic growth.
The survey found managers remain positive regarding U.S. market valuations. The majority (58%) stated that the U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, is undervalued. However, there was a decrease in the number of managers who believe that corporate earnings will increase over the next three months, from 80% in the fourth quarter of 2010 to 69% during the first quarter of 2011.
Looking at Japan following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, two-thirds of managers surveyed believe Japanese equities are undervalued. There was also an increase from previous quarters in the degree of perceived undervaluation, as 31% of managers see more than 10% upside in Japanese equities – a 12% rise from the previous quarter.
A quarterly survey conducted by Northern Trust finds that 36% of institutional investment managers are more risk-averse compared to last quarter when just 20% expressed this view.Portfolio concentration levels remained largely unchanged for the quarter relative to the fourth quarter of 2010. Roughly 66% of managers stated that their portfolio concentrations were the same as last quarter, while 21% stated that their portfolios were more concentrated, down slightly from 24% last quarter. Thirteen percent of managers stated that their portfolios were less concentrated, a slight uptick from 11 percent last quarter.
The survey also found 42% of managers think that home prices will decline over the next six months, an increase of 10 percentage points over the prior quarter. Investment managers cited technology, energy, industrials, emerging markets, and health care as the top five most attractive market segments respectively. The percentage of managers that believe emerging markets are undervalued rose slightly from 39% in the fourth quarter of 2010 to 43% during the first quarter of 2011.
The survey of approximately 88 institutional managers was conducted by NTGA in mid-March. All respondents participate in NTGA's external manager platform and are utilized in investment products including mutual funds, separate accounts, emerging manager programs and other investment solutions.

Q: Type Conformation Error: Iterable[Int] to expected type List[Int] Here's the relevant part of my code:
  var minK = List.empty[Int]
  while(it.hasNext){
    val s = it.next()
    val sig = MH3.stringHash(s.srcId.toString, 0)
    val sig2 = MH3.stringHash(s.dstId.toString, 0)
    val e = minK:+sig:+sig2
    minK = bottom(100, e)
  }

The signature of the bottom function looks like this:
def bottom[T](n: Int, li: List[T])
           (implicit ord: Ordering[T]): Iterable[T]

I am getting an error at the last line of the code. The compiler is complaining that Expression of type Iterable[Int] doesn't conform to expected type List[Int]. But the type of e is List[Int]. What am I missing here?

A: Type of minK is List[Int], and function bottom returns Iterable[Int].
Change first line to:
var minK = Iterable.empty[Int]

or use toList:
minK = bottom(100, e).toList

An Opening Day Without Baseball
Shortly after one o'clock Thursday afternoon, under bright spring sunshine and in front of a full house at Camden Yards, the Baltimore Orioles took the field and the visiting New York Yankees readied for their first at-bats of a brand new baseball season. At roughly the same time for other east coast day games, and then again throughout the afternoon and into the evening at ballparks across the land, major league teams mirrored the actions of the O's and Yanks to the appreciative delight of fans crammed side by side in bleachers and box seats, from the field level to the furthest reaches of the upper deck, all eager for the start of the new season. It was Opening Day for the Great Game, with the promise and potential of sports' longest season on full display.
Perhaps that really happened, in some alternate universe. In the here and now of course, the famous retro ballpark a few blocks west of Baltimore's Inner Harbor district stood empty under that springtime sun, as did every other baseball stadium in the land. There was no bunting fluttering in the breeze, only a lonely wind moaning through rows of empty seats. Instead of the cheers of thousands reverberating across the diamond, there was just the echoless sound of silence as Opening Day 2020 became the latest sporting event to fall victim to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This was to be the earliest full start of a season ever, with the calendar set up to crown a World Series champion before the arrival of November's chill, even with a few extra off days built into the schedule to give our heroes a respite during the dog days of summer. All that is scrubbed now, erased by the invisible spread of a highly contagious virus, replaced by uncertainty and doubt. And though fans have known for two weeks that the start of the season would be postponed, there is still a sense of melancholy for the Great Game's faithful. This spring a day once marked by a season's first furtive checks of the score on a transistor radio, and more recently by quick scans of the MLB app, is instead all about social distancing and sheltering in place. The sadness and apprehension are only heightened by the fact that the initial two-week delay has been replaced by a more realistic but profoundly sobering pause to an unknown time when conditions permit the resumption of play.
Much more than just the date when pitchers will again toe the rubber as batters stand ready is in doubt. It seems virtually certain that this will be a year without the usual 162-game schedule, despite super-agent Scott Boras's silly proposal to play on into the start of winter, with a Christmas time World Series contested at a warm weather neutral site. But we are far from knowing just how shortened this year's baseball calendar will be. Owners and players are also discussing a wide range of other issues. The possibility of all teams playing one or more double-headers every week has been raised, in what would truly be a throwback to the heyday of an older generation. Dates for the amateur draft, pay for minor leaguers, the amount of service time accrued in however much of a season is played – these issues and more are all up for discussion.
On that last topic one proposal reported this week by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic was that players would accrue the same service time they earned in 2019, even if the season winds up being cancelled. While it may be nothing more than a passing idea, if it were adopted and if the season was totally lost, the resulting chaos would make some of last winter's biggest deals look very different. The prime example cited by many pundits this week was the Dodgers' acquisition of Mookie Betts from the Red Sox. With the superstar outfielder scheduled for free agency prior to next season, if the scenario above were to come true, L.A. could find it had surrendered three prospects in exchange for nothing more than a handful of spring training at-bats by Betts.
While such an ignominious result is still a stretch, the possibility of a summer without the Great Game shouldn't be dismissed. With teams spread across the continent and traveling constantly once play starts, the season can't begin until there is an acceptable level of safety in the home city of every franchise. From the perspective of major league baseball, it will matter little that conditions have improved in, say, Kansas City and Denver, if New York and Miami remain hot spots of COVID-19 contagion. Fans must also come to terms with the very real possibility that what is deemed safe for players spread out across the expanse of a field may not be acceptable for packing spectators into the stands.
But if this non-Opening Day, or as the Twitterverse has dubbed it, #OpeningDayAtHome, is about gloom rather than glory, it is still worth remembering all that the start of a new season symbolizes. With the traditional schedule aligned with the first days of spring, Opening Day is always laden with hope and possibility. Even if the weather for the first few games in northern cities is frosty, the call of "play ball" brings to mind the warmth of summer, the memory of what once was, and the promise of what can be. To fans of all ages, followers of contenders and cellar dwellers alike, Opening Day is a sign of renewal. If that is true in March, then on the other side of the pandemic, whether it's in June or July or even 2021, the Great Game's next Opening Day will again send that familiar message, this time about both sports and life, and with tenfold its usual power.

Racism in Italian election campaign
Posted on February 9, 2018 by petrel41
This video from Italy says about itself:
Macerata gunman had extreme right-wing background
Luca Traini, who shot six African immigrants in a drive-by shooting spree, is known to have extreme right-wing sympathies.
By Marc Wells and Marianne Arens:
Racist rampage in the Italian election campaign
Four weeks before the Italian elections, a bloodbath shook the small town of Macerata. On February 3, six young people were shot by a racist gunman, who drove around indiscriminately firing at dark-skinned passers-by.
Among the victims, who come from Mali, Nigeria, Ghana and Gambia, there is also a young woman. All are aged between 21 and 33. Five are still in hospital, one is seriously injured and had to undergo surgery. The gunman, Luca Traini (28), shot at but missed five other migrants during his Saturday morning rampage. He also shot at the party headquarters of the Democratic Party (PD), which currently heads the government in Rome under Paolo Gentiloni.
When the mayor realized there was a shooting spree taking place, he halted public transport and called on people to stay at home. After two hours, Traini was captured by police on the steps of a war memorial and arrested. Wrapped in an Italian flag, he gave a fascist salute and shouted, "Viva Italia!"
Traini, bearing a fascist [wolfsangel] tattoo on his temple, is known locally as a fascist and racist. In his apartment, as well as Hitler's Mein Kampf and books on Mussolini's social republic of Salò, police also found a flag with the Celtic Cross, which neo-Nazis consider a symbol of the "supremacy of the white race". Last year, Traini had run as a candidate of the Lega Nord (Northern League) in the local elections in the neighbouring village Corridonia, but without receiving a vote.
The former separatist party is participating in the general election on 4 March as "Lega". Its nationalism and unrestrained witch-hunting of immigrants undoubtedly encouraged the perpetrator's fascist delusions. For example, for days, the newspapers had reported on the statement of Lega member Attilio Fontana, who said the most important thing now was "to protect our ethnicity, our white race" from extinction by the wave of migration.
After Traini's murderous action, [Northern League party leader] Salvini issued another statement, in which he half-heartedly condemned the shooting, but placed responsibility on a lax immigration policy: "Violence must always be condemned. However, I have a duty to tell the Italians HOW to avoid incidents like those in Macerata. For example? By sending the illegals home."
The Lega is in a right-wing alliance for the election with Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia and the fascists of Fratelli d'Italia. They hope to replace the ruling Democrats with a mixture of right-wing incitement and fanciful election promises. Polling almost 38 percent in surveys, they are currently ten points in front of the government camp (28 percent).
Silvio Berlusconi is also making targeted use of right-wing demagogy. In a TV broadcast on Sunday evening about the rampage, he described the offender as crazy and sweepingly charged all refugees of being "a social bomb that can explode at any time". According to Berlusconi, there are 600,000 irregular immigrants in Italy allegedly living from the proceeds of crime.
As for the third major party, the MoVimento 5 Stelle (M5S, Five Star Movement) of Beppe Grillo, its lead candidate Luigi Di Maio picked up on the slogan of the "social bomb" and charged that Berlusconi, together with Renzi, was responsible for mass immigration into Italy. For months, the "Grillini" have stood at about 27 percent in the polls, making it the strongest single party.
The policy of the Five Star Movement is just as right-wing, nationalist and xenophobic as that of the other parties. In the EU, it sits in the same political grouping as the far right Alternative for Germany (AfD), the Sweden Democrats and Britain's UKIP, and also has declared fascists among its VIPs, such as the father of M5S candidate Alessandro Di Battista, who emphasized in front of the camera, "Am I right-wing? No, I'm a fascist."
In the election campaign, the Five Star Movement benefited from being the only major party that has never been in government. The two other major political camps have been identified for years with the right-wing policies of the banks and the EU. While Berlusconi stands for shameless personal enrichment, the PD restructures the public finances at the expense of the working class.
In a government statement on the bloody crime in Macerata, Gentiloni did not say a word about the racist aspects of the crime but emphasized his confidence in the judiciary and the "sense of responsibility of all political forces." He concluded his statement with a nationalist appeal, "Hatred and violence will not divide us, the Italian people."
As a governing party, the PD has long practiced what the right-wing demands: the systematic attack on African migrants. With the active help of the EU, Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni and his Interior Minister Marco Minniti have signed a dirty deal with the Libyan Coast Guard. They finance Libyan Islamists and smugglers in the Mediterranean to keep migrants out of Europe. They consciously accept the fact that people not only drown, but also perish in Libyan torture camps.
In the hospital, one of Trainis' victims, a Mr. Wilson from Ghana, told about his odyssey of war, flight and expulsion. He had arrived in Italy on a dinghy, saying, "I saw people, especially black Africans, being shot or sold. People were treated like cattle there."
Italy is in a devastating social crisis. Anyone who is in their twenties today has seen nothing but social decline in their lives. Officially, youth unemployment is at almost 35 percent, and in reality is much higher, especially in the south. Ever-new austerity measures and "reforms" such as Renzi's "Jobs Act", the pension reforms, healthcare reforms or the "Buona Scuola" have led to hundreds of thousands of young Italians leaving the country.
All parties, from the open fascists to the PD, are responding to the social crisis by inciting xenophobia and racism to divert social anger and outrage onto the most vulnerable in society, refugees and migrants. This is the dirty mechanism of the Italian election campaign.
Italy's racist Lega emerges as the big winner from the latest elections: here.

Italy Anti-fascists march against racist shootings
30,000 demonstrators defy mayor's bid to call off rally
THIRTY THOUSAND anti-racists rallied in the Italian city of Macerata on Saturday to mark a week since six black people were shot and wounded by a fascist gunman.
Demonstrators defied calls from Mayor Romano Carancini for the rally to be called off for fear of provoking "unrest" — far-right activists of the Forza Nuova party clashed with police last Thursday when they held a demo in the town claiming: "people die from immigration."
Mr Carancini claimed at the weekend that his heart was with the anti-fascist protest, though he didn't show up.
Shooter Luca Traini has told police his rampage, in which he drove around the city firing on anyone black he came across, was a response to the murder of a young Italian woman in which a man of Nigerian descent is the prime suspect.
While Forza Nuova chief Roberto Fiore claims to deplore the shootings, he also remarked that Mr Traini was "also a victim."
But Thursday's provocation by around 40 right-wing activists was dwarfed by Saturday's giant rally, which saw participation from the National Association of Italian Partisans (Anpi), an organisation of veterans of the second world war anti-fascist resistance which overthrew and hanged Mussolini, the Potere al Popolo ("power to the people") left electoral alliance, socialists, communists and trade unionists.
The crowds chanted: "If there's unemployment blame the government, not the migrants" and on parts of the route residents clapped and cheered the march as it snaked past.
"We have a constitution that is, above all, anti-fascist and I want the laws against fascist ideology to be applied," marcher Giuliano Denti told reporters, while Mafalda Quartu added: "In recent years we have allowed the right to flourish. I have always demonstrated, but now we need to do so more than ever."
Interior Minister Marco Minniti told a press conference that he agreed with action against far-right parties, saying "there are limits beyond which we cannot go in a democracy and we will not allow anyone to breach them." He added that "fascism and nazism are dead forever."
But Tuscany President Enrico Rossi retorted: "Fascism and nazism can be reborn. Our task is to prevent that."
https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/anti-fascists-march-against-racist-shootings
In the Umbrian town of Soleto, a priest who has often spoken out against racism and in defence of migrants was believed to have been the target of intimidation by far-right activists after his rectory and home were ransacked.
Father Gianfranco Formenton, a parish priest at Sant'Angelo in Mercole, had strongly condemned the Macerata shooting.
"I live alone and in quite an isolated area," he told the newspaper Il Messaggero. "But I will continue to live here as well as carry out my mission without stepping back."

A couple weeks ago one of our new friends, Kristen, stopped by MudLOVE with an incredible story. We've always been proud of how people all over the country use our products to inspire others. Little did we know that some of our bracelets travelled around the globe.
Welcome to MudLOVE! Tell us who you are and what you're about.
My name is Kristen Hills. I am from Mishawaka, Indiana and I grew up wanting to travel and explore the world. For the last few years, I have been traveling on a trip called the World Race. I never thought it would be possible, but God let it unfold, and I am so grateful. My first World Race was to 11 countries in 11 months. My second was to 6 countries in 9 months.
That's a lot of airplane rides. Which bracelets did you take with you during your first trip?
On my first trip, I carried two MudLove bracelets that reminded me of good things - "joy" and "hope." They served as a visual reminder that I needed to pursue joy and hope for things that I couldn't always see in front of me.
Great reminders when you're far away from home. What about the second trip?
Before my second trip, the World Race Gap Year, I had my close friends and family choose words for custom bracelets. These bracelets would serve as a reminder of the things that they hold as important ideals as I was away. My best childhood friend chose "live OtB." which stands for "Live Outside the Box." My college roommates chose "avanti." which is Italian for "onwards" or "forward." My family chose "entwined." to remind me that we are connected despite the physical space between us. Lastly, I chose "do hard things." as a reminder to push through and do the things that are right, even if they are difficult.
What a neat idea. How did these words have an impact on you?
I wore them almost every day during my 9 months away. They were constant reminders through the ups and downs of life. Early on in my second stint of travel, I realized that I also wanted a way to give back to the people that inspired each of them. I took a little time in each place to photograph scenes, objects, or people that reminded me of what that word meant. I was also able to sit with those people to ask for their perspective on the word.
There were points in my trip where I wasn't the only traveler to benefit either. When a good friend needed a boost of confidence, I handed over the "do hard things." bracelet. When we couldn't find a way around something in our thinking and needed new perspective, I handed over the "live OtB." They served their purpose well.
Thank you for sharing your story, Kristen! Check out photos from Kristen's trip below. To create your own custom bracelet and start living outside the box, tap here.
Pastor Obed, and his wife were at their home, about a 5 minute walk from our mission house. We had the task of bringing tools back to their home, so I thought I would stop and talk to them for a moment. They are a great couple that loves unconditionally and wants the best for the people that surround them. I asked, "what does entwined mean to you?
Mapakela, AKA Janet, is a worker at the coffee shop at the Malealea Lodge. She works diligently for the guests at this lodge, providing them with warmth in the cold, coffee in their hands, and carrot cake and sandwiches for their hungry bellies.
"Entwined. It reminds me of twins. We can be from so far away, but we share lots of similarities."

Kaplan International Colleges has language schools located in the most desirable places in the world, according to recent studies.
Research by The University of Shanghai Jiao Tong revealed that Kaplan's English language schools are in the best learning environments as they share the same cities as the most prestigious universities in the world.
The study named Harvard University as the best university in the world while the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) came third. International students looking to learn English will be keen to know that Kaplan has three language schools in Boston, Massachusetts.
Other prime locations for further education in the USA include California, Chicago and New York. Kaplan has three language schools in California with an additional three in the Big Apple and two in the Windy City.
The English Universities of Cambridge and Oxford also made it into the top ten universities in the world and these are also cities where Kaplan has language schools. Kaplan even launched a pop-up English school in Cambridge this summer.
Furthermore, results from The Global Liveability Survey showed that Kaplan has a presence in five of the top ten most liveable cities in the world which demonstrates that students are likely to have the best cultural experiences when they discover how to learn English with Kaplan.
Vancouver and Toronto in Canada, Sydney and Perth in Australia and Auckland in New Zealand were all named in the world's top 10 most liveable cities thanks in part to their climate, culture and low crime rates.
Kaplan has over 40 English language schools in England, Scotland, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Malta.

OIN, IBM, Microsoft and the Linux Foundation team up against open-source patent trolls
The Open Invention Network (OIN) is strengthening its fight against patent trolls. The organization has announced it is partnering up with IBM, Microsoft and the Linux Foundation to protect open-source software from Patent Assertion Entities (PAEs), or patent trolls.
The OIN was created to provide patent non-aggression cross-license in the "Linux System."
"Open source development continues to expand into new products and markets, delivering unrivaled innovation," said Keith Bergelt, CEO of OIN. "Its use continues to spread, and patent trolls increasingly look to leverage questionable patents against open source. Our mandate is to educate business leaders about the benefits of open source and shared innovation while providing a 'patent no-fly zone' for Linux and adjacent open source technologies. Teaming with IBM, the Linux Foundation and Microsoft to support Unified Patents' Open Source Zone adds another key patent non-aggression initiative to our efforts."
As part of the partnership, the companies will support Unified Patents' Open Source Zone and provide an annual subscription. According to OIN, this should expand patent non-aggression activities and deter PAEs from targeting Linux and OSS technologies. Unified Patents is an international membership organization with a mission to improve patent quality and deter invalid patent assertions. The organization works to fight against invalid patents, never pays non-practicing entities (NPE) and deters future NPE activities through monitoring, analytics, and USPTO challenges.
"Linux and open source technologies have become the backbone of modern computing and the systems we all rely upon," said Jim Zemlin, Executive Director at the Linux Foundation. "We see significant value in partnering with OIN, IBM and Microsoft to support Unified Patent's new Open Source Zone, deterring the activities of patent trolls working against the communities we all depend on."

Zachary Dylan Gill (18 mei 1975) is een Amerikaanse zanger, muzikant en frontman van de band Animal Liberation Orchestra, vaak afgekort tot ALO.

Biografie
Zach Gill groeide op in Saratoga (Californië) en nam rond zijn 8e voor het eerst pianolessen. Enkele jaren later nam hij ook gitaarlessen. In 1987 vormde hij de band One Percent Away, samen met zijn klasgenoten Dan Lebowitz, Steve Adams, Matt West en James Chung. Gill nam de vocalen en de rhythm guitar voor zijn rekening en de groep speelde voornamelijk covers.

Twee jaar later werd de bandnaam veranderd naar Django, waarmee ze eigen materiaal speelden. Hierin was Gill opnieuw de vocalist en speelde tevens keyboard. In 1993 brachten ze zelfs een cassettebandje uit met louter eigen werk. Een jaar later brachten ze ook een cd uit.

In 1995 verliet drummer Matt West de band en werd vervangen door David Brogan. In 1996 toerde Django het hele land door en kreeg in Augusta (Georgia) zelfs hun zege van de soullegende James Brown, maar hij moedigde hun wel aan om eerst hun school af te maken eer ze hun muziekcarrière zouden vervolgen.

In de lente van 1998 werd uiteindelijk de band Animal Liberation Orchestra opgericht, kortweg ook wel ALO.

In 2005 begon Zach Gill samen te werken met Jack Johnson, een jaar voordat hij ALO zou contracteren voor zijn eigen label Brushfire Records. Johnson nodigde Gill uit om in zijn band te komen spelen en toeren. Met Gill kreeg Johnsons band een heel ander geluid, met zijn vocalen en de verscheidene instrumenten die hij bespeelde. Op In Between Dreams uit 2005 nam Gill voor het eerst samen met Johnson, Adam Topel en Merlo Podlewski op. Sindsdien is hij een vast lid van de band, maar speelde daarnaast ook nog steeds met ALO en zelfs kortstondig nog solo. In 2008 bracht hij – na eerder twee ep's – zijn eerste solo-album uit, genaamd Zach Gill's Stuff.

Lara Rose NOMAD WOMAN
Nomad woman lara rose
Rose has worked and collaborated with a host of artist worldwide, and has been called soul diva and funk diva. She says, "if you want to coin me a diva then call me the 'underground urban diva'!" She says it reflects the host of musical projects to date that still remain secret and underground.
Rose has appeared in musicals including ethnomusicologist Geraldine Connor's Carnival Messiah [1] performing at the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds, Harewood House and the Royal Albert Hall. Rose continues to contribute to the "dance music" scene, collaborating with a host of DJs and dance music producers including DJ Ease of Nightmares on Wax, DJ Planky, DJ Dr Watson and music producer Tom Quick. She also continues to make appearances at local jazz concerts, in what Rose calls "drop-ins for a sing song!"
Rose has performed fronting her own band in the legendary Harlem Bush Club [2] held regularly in Leeds. She also features with Leeds funk-based bands,[3]Capri, The New Mastersounds, Chunky Butt Funky and the Haggis Horns who feature with Mark Ronson. Images of Rose and other Leeds musicians have been captured on canvas by Leeds fine artist Neil Hardy in his Funk'd [4] exhibition!
She went on to record and tour [5] with the James Taylor quartet JTQ, releasing the single "Free"[6] which also features on the JTQ Room at the Top[7] JTQ#Discography album.
Rose returning to her gospel roots in conjunction with GLP Records [8] recorded and released the single, "Once Beloved".
In 2011 Lara Rose joined the Leeds-based band The Soul Circle Gang. In 2012 the band played a number of UK music festivals including Beatherder, Beacons and Sheffield's Tramlines Festival. As well as performing at many UK venues, The Soul Circle Gang are set to release their first single "Fresh Fruit" in late 2012.
In October 2014, following the retirement of The Soul Circle Gang, Rose continued her soul circle journey of exploring African music interposed with contemporary modern music, coining the term "Afropolitan Melodies". Lara Rose & the Afropolitan Melodies incorporate the Yoruba language into soulful melodic songs stripped down to voice and guitar accompaniment performed by Rose. "Tonight (lale yi)", the first single for her new EP Afropolitan Melodies, went on to be shortlisted for the first playlist in 2015 on BBC Introducing West Yorkshire, [9] hosted by Alan Raw [10] and Darren Williams.
Rose is also a pharmacist (Winner Branch of Britain 2004,Pharmacist Manager)[11] (Pharmaceutical Chemist) and is a member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB). Rose fulfilled the family ethos of growing up to be in a "notable" profession. She is currently actively involved in the world of pharmacy. Rose works as a community pharmacist and serves on the RPSGB Leeds & District Branch Council [12] as Chairman elect and Public Relations Officer (BPRO).

The nose has a nice musty, smokey/peaty scent. The flavor profile is pretty intense. Sweet and extremely woody with plenty of smoke. It finishes with a pleasant musty/rotting wood accent. My favorite part of this pour is the silky smooth, almost buttery, soft-yet-thick mouthfeel. My mouth retains a beautiful smoked agave essence well after the burn has subsided. 4.15.

The arrowhead 135 ultramarathon is purposely held in January or February to line up with the coldest temperatures of the year. But no one was expecting what the racers faced this year, temperatures of -30 degrees F. The race course runs from International Falls, Minnesota to Lake Vermillion on the Arrowhead State Trail.
One hundred forty six racers toed the line this year in four disciplines: running, cycling, skiing, and kick-sledding. With seven hours left, only 39 bikers and nine runners had finished the race. Four more runners were still out on the course, 43 hours after the start of the race.
Those runners ultimately completed the race, the last one coming in after 56 hours and 58 minutes of running. Jovica Spajic of Serbia and Scott Hoberg of Minnesota crossed the line together and snagged the men's fastest times, clocking in at 36 hours and nine minutes. The fastest women's time came from Faye Norby of Minnesota who finished the race in 48 hours, 34 minutes.
A study released in mid-December by conservation groups that looked at information on Georgia's 12 coal-powered plants found that 11 of the 12 plants are leaking chemicals into the groundwater.
Coal ash contains toxins such as arsenic, cadmium, and lead, which are known to cause cancer and heart disease. Environmentalists hope the study will encourage lawmakers to strengthen Georgia's coal ash regulations by requiring utilities to remove waste from leaking, unlined coal ash ponds.
According to the study, Georgia Power, the state's largest energy provider, owns 10 of the 11 leaking plants. Georgia Power officials said that tests over the past several years show that any leaking chemicals have not had an impact on the state's groundwater.

Q: Distribution of surface charges along the wire Distribution of surface charges with a constant gradient is present along the length of the wire which produces a constant electric field along the entire length of the wire. This results in constant current in all the sections of the wire.
I am aware of the constant distribution of the surface charges at equilibrium but when the circuit is complete, the distribution is not constant but the change in density of the surface charges is constant.
Can some one please be able to explain me, how exactly is this constant gradient of surface charges formed? I would like to know the entire process of going from equilibrium (open circuit) to the steady state (closed circuit) in terms of surface charges redistribution.

A: The question really could be written so:  when we instantly apply a potential-difference to the ends of a resistor, how does the resistor respond over time, in order to eventually exhibit a constant current-density throughout its interior?
A "quick" intro is found in the 1999 paper by Chabay and Sherwood, author of undergrad physics text MATTER AND INTERACTIONS:  A unified treatment..."  The main conclusion is that, for the final DC case, the surface-charge is distributed in circles of constant surface-charge density, i.e. a resistor is like a stack of charged rings.  (For the DC case, all charge-imbalance must exist only on the conductor surface.)
But for the full description, we really should use FEM finite-element simulators with animated field-diagrams, since each charged volume in the wire will experience a capacitance to distant Earth  ...and also exhibit a capacitance to every other charged volume in the wire!
One method is to initially assume that the wire has zero resistance, and can be modeled as a thin hollow tube (pure skin-effect, all transient and no long-term DC.)
When the voltage-drop is first applied to a long thin conductor, EM waves dance back and forth along this hollow tube, creating the rings of charge and shoving them around, until they settle down and produce a uniform current density on the surface.  This occurs at the speed of light, over fractions of nanoseconds.
Hmmm, rather than a wire in space, maybe it would simplify things to first examine the center-conductor of a piece of coax cable.   That way the resistor becomes a simple transmission line, with all the capacitance only existing between the wire surface and the nearby inner surface of the shield-braid.  In that case the wire becomes a looooong inductor, like a long coil, but with numerous capacitors connected between the wire surface and the nearby Earth-potential.
Then, once we know the nanosecond behavior of voltage-waves on this conductor, then for real conductors having finite resistance, next the current "oozes inside" over long microseconds. All metals are EM-shields of course, so the initial e-fields and currents are blocked from affecting the interior of the metal wire.   The elements of the wire exhibit L/R time constants, with slower response for lower resistance.  Or in other words, charge "has inertia," and the applied e-field can only, after a significant delay, create a current within the interior of the wire.
Or said differently, the speed of light inside copper is quite slow, on the order of tens of M/S, and "skin effect" is really about the electrical energy being able to "leapfrog" quickly across the space outside the metal surface, and only slowly to propagate inwards  ...as if the wire was really an "onion layer" of concentric pipes.  At first, the entire current only arises on the outside pipe.  For a thick copper wire, an entire millisecond may pass by before the current becomes uniform throughout the metal.  Yet the first initial current-pattern became established millions of times faster, in roughly a nanosecond.
See, we really really need animated diagrams!
But so few people are interested in this niche-topic, such things have never been done before.  And with good reason.   At MIT, a Dr. Belcher tried to introduce it to thir large undergrad EM course, with field-simulations giving a view of the internal workings of all components.   Rumor is, the undergrad students rose up en masse and forced the administration to go back to the old way:  obscure walls of equations, with none of these easily-understood animated pictures!  To me the situation appears like that of medical doctors in the year 1300, if their med school suddenly started teaching courses in plain English (or French!)   Nooooo!   Then just anyone could understand the material!  It turns the complex and obscure into "Physics for Poets!"  BRING BACK THE LATIN RIGHT DAMN QUICK, OR THE STUDENT BODY WILL MARCH IN AND HANG THE LOT OF YOU!
Heh.
Here's the residue of the late-1990s MIT "T.E.A.L" project by JW Belcher and crew...

In a previous post, we discussed the types of damages that may be available in an expropriation claim. This case shows how injurious affection damages for business interruption or other losses caused by a public project may be awarded despite there being no expropriation at all.
This case involved a family-run garden centre located in a quiet residential area, and had been at the same location for 80 years. The Town of Grimsby planned a non-urgent sewer construction project that would begin simultaneously with the garden centre's busy spring season. This project lasted for forty working days, and required closure of at least one lane of the two-lane street, with at least two weeks of complete closure to vehicular traffic.
The garden centre brought a claim against the town at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for its business losses.
The damage was the direct result of the construction, rather than the use of the works constructed.
The Board found that the garden centre had clearly suffered a business loss as the direct result of the construction project. It next considered whether the losses would have been actionable as a nuisance claim against a private actor. This required that the project in question caused a substantial and unreasonable interference in the garden centre's use and enjoyment of the property.
Although temporary interference is not always grounds for a nuisance claim, prolonged interference is more likely to attract a remedy. Ultimately, the Board found that it was not reasonable for the garden centre to bear all of the costs of the Town's project scheduling. The interference and inconvenience was, "well outside the normal give and take of life that should be properly accepted as an individual's part of the cost as living in an organized society." The garden centre was awarded $115,000 in damages.
This case illustrates that injurious affection damages may be available to claimants that have suffered business or other losses as the result of actions taken by a Town or other authority.
