First Robo-Trucking Unicorn? TuSimple Delivers $95 Million Funding Round
Alan OhnsmanForbes Staff
I follow technology-driven changes reshaping transportation.
A self-driving semi-truck in TuSimple's test fleet hauls a load through Arizona.
TuSimple
TuSimple, a U.S.-Chinese tech startup racing to commercialize self-driving capability for long-haul semi-trucks, just raised a further $95 million in a funding round that the company estimates moves it to unicorn status with a valuation now reaching $1 billion.
The funds will help the company – with technology designed by Caltech-trained neuroscientist Xiaodi Hou, who's also TuSimple's founder, president and CTO – expand its fleet of robot semi-trucks to 50 by June from 12 currently, as well as its team of developers, the company told Forbes.
The Series D round closed at the end of 2018, led by Chinese tech firm Sina Corp. and included investment from Hong Kong-based Composite Capital, boosting TuSimple's total funding to date to about $180 million. Sina also invested in earlier rounds, as did Nvidia and U.K.-based ZP Capital.
Based in San Diego and with an engineering facility and truck depot in Tucson, Arizona, TuSimple has been hauling revenue-generating loads since last year. And while self-driving passenger vehicle programs, such as the service Alphabet Inc.'s Waymo launched in Phoenix in December 2018, have drawn the most public attention, use of the technology for autonomous trucking and delivery could be on a faster path to commercialization.
"The real economic drivers for autonomy are in truck automation," Chuck Price, TuSimple's chief product officer, said. And at the moment, "the economic drivers for passenger cars is somewhat different and diffuse."
Long-haul trucks operating on highways don't have to deal with pedestrians, bicycles or as much environmental complexity as do vehicles making their way through dense urban settings. There's also a shortage of long-haul truck drivers, topping more than 50,000 in 2017 according to the American Trucking Association, which means there's near-term demand for technological solutions. TuSimple also has lots of competition, with rivals including San Francisco-based Embark and Starsky Robotics, startups Kodiak and Ike, which both have former members of Google's Self-Driving Car Project, and Waymo, the Google program's commercial successor.
Along with aggressive fundraising, TuSimple has lined up production partnerships with truckmakers Peterbilt and Navistar, as well as powertrain specialist Cummins. And although it's building the self-driving tech and not the vehicles themselves, it's going to keep raising funds.
"We will do another raise this year," Price said. "It is an expensive proposition even though we're not building a factory."
TuSimple splits its R&D focus and commercial applications between the two markets in which it operates. In the U.S., the focus is solely on long-haul trucking whereas in China, the technology is used for drayage operations, hauling cargo at ports, founder Hou has told Forbes. Its Arizona truck fleet is loaded up with many of the same types of advanced sensors used for self-driving cars, including laser lidar units, radar and high-definition digital cameras.
TuSimple's vision system, however, relies most heavily on long-range cameras that it says allow its robot drivers to track conditions up to 1 kilometer ahead, or about three times farther than Waymo's long-range lidar units can see. The company says that's a potentially big benefit for trucking companies, as it helps vehicles maintain the best possible speeds to maximize fuel economy and reduce wear and tear on brakes and tires. If it's right, that would translate into lower fuel and maintenance costs.
"Autonomous driving is one of the most complex AI systems humans have ever built," Hou said in a statement. "After three years of intense focus to reach our technical goals, we have moved beyond research into the serious work of building a commercial solution."

Chronicles of Crime Review
by Chris Dove February 26, 2019 February 26, 2019
The board game market isn't exactly crying out for another crime-themed game; forget older games of that theme and just look at the last 12-18 months where a number of such games have been released. That's not to say it's necessarily a bad thing as a crime-related game can go one of a thousand directions, whether that be the time period it's set in, locations, types of incidents, as well as many more. Forget the stereotype crime setting of deep, dark London where a young, slightly out of their depth detective has to solve and prevent murder upon murder with the help of some trusty sidekicks. The possibilities are now endless! In today's review, we look at Lucky Duck Games' Chronicles of Crime: a crime-related board game set in London that puts you in the role of a detective who has to……oh, dear. Just to make it clear from the outset, to play Chronicles, you will be required to download their app on your smartphone or tablet; without the app you can't play the game as it directly links to the components via QR codes.
A quick look at the components, then, before I explain how the game works: Chronicles has very few of them, really; you get character, evidence and special item cards, as well as location boards, some forensic contact boards and a main evidence board, which all other components are either placed on or around. Component quality is okay, the artwork is pretty standard, really, and I would have liked to see artwork on the evidence and special item cards like there are on the character cards. The iconography and graphic design do help with ease of play and speed of the game: It's straightforward for players to see where certain components need to be placed, and everything is kept in order in a game that could have become slightly messy and confusing. The rule book is very short at just 7 pages, but that is because the app teaches you how to play the game through a tutorial, which in my opinion is a great idea. The components, however, are not where this game sings. Let me tell you how it plays.
At the start of the game (I will use the tutorial scenario to explain), players who are working together will start at their home location, which is Scotland Yard, where the app will tell you to find character card 33, who for this scenario is the police chief (characters will change with each scenario), and he will proceed in giving you a brief concerning a suspicious death. During the brief he will give you another location. which players will find and put next to the main board; he may also give you the names (character numbers) of the victim, witnesses and suspects, etc. for players to find in the deck and place them at a specific location. Once this is done, then it is up to the players to progress through the game from then on. For example, in the tutorial an elderly woman has been found dead, and your first task will be to visit her address, meaning you take your phone and scan the QR code at that location, which transports you to that location. Once there you can search the address for clues, which allows players to look around the crime scene (VR compatible also) and pick out clues; for example, the body might still be present along with a weapon or food, mobile devices or pets. As you're looking around, you're also searching the evidence deck for the clue cards that match what you have seen during the search.
When players have finished searching, it is time to start scanning the QR codes on the clue cards which, if relevant, will give you a little more information about the deceased or the events surrounding their death. These clues are placed on the evidence board in an order that best suits the players.
Now that you have searched the crime scene, you may wish to speak with witnesses at that location, and to do this you simply scan the QR code on their character card, which allows you to interact with them, hopefully finding out more information, unlocking a different location or giving names of people that you may wish to speak to. The game progresses as players move from location to location, questioning characters or finding clues until they're able to solve the case, which players are able to do by returning to Scotland Yard and answering the Chief's questions.
The game has a built-in timer also, meaning every time you move to a new location, it adds 20 minutes into the day, with 5 minutes added on for every character that you speak to. This means that if you don't solve the crime fast enough, then you may not solve it at all, or even worse, more people could die along the way.
In order to help players solve the crime, they are given four forensic experts whom they can call throughout the game: a scientist who can examine physical evidence, such as a weapon, fingerprints or piece of clothing, a doctor who performs autopsies, a hacker who can examine mobile devices and computers to provide you with clues, like who the deceased's last phone call was made to or what files are on their laptop, and a criminologist who will give you a profile on a particular character, whether that be a victim, witness or suspect. Players can interact with these characters at any time, but the clock will be progressed each time you do.
The benefit of consulting those characters, however, can be massive. For example, having the scientist examine a weapon could unlock a special item card, such as a finger print or DNA, which can be further checked to unveil a potential suspect's identity, or once the doctor has carried out his autopsy, the cause and time of death may be revealed, which may eliminate one character whilst pointing the finger at another. It will be up to the players to decide which clues are worth using precious time to investigate in order to solve the case.
A few points about Chronicles before my summary: I will start with what I liked least about the game, which would mostly be the components. In general they are bland and lack flavour, which in this style of game isn't such a big deal, but it's something that's definitely worth noting. The second thing is so basic that I can't believe it's even a thing. The app is fantastic, and I will talk about it more shortly, but the stories are littered with spelling mistakes, which along with the bland components, make the game seem unfinished and rushed; there are also a lot of "Americanisms" in the game, considering it is meant to be set in London.
Moving away from the negative and back to the app, which is so easy to use; not at any point did we have an issue scanning the QR codes or being told to look for a card in error or the wrong order, it felt smooth and allowed the game to flow effortlessly. The 'searching for clues' aspect is also a very cool idea: Players will literally be put in the middle of the crime scene and rotate their phone 360 degrees in order to search for clues, and this is probably also why the age range of the game is 12+ years as despite the content being cartoon-like, you will still see dead bodies with various injuries.
By allowing the app to teach players the game, it cuts out a lot of pre-reading, meaning players can literally open the box and get sucked in immediately.
The game is surprisingly light as well. Don't get me wrong, the harder scenarios are hard and will require a lot of thought and maybe a bit of luck in order to solve every aspect of a crime, but Chronicles never made me feel like a scenario couldn't be done or drove me to lose patience or interest.
The game comes with three separate cases, which can be saved in between play sessions. Whether you would want to replay a case once complete, I would highly doubt, meaning replay value will be quite limited. However, what David Cicurel and Lucky Duck have managed to do is create a system that can now be used for any theme: There is already a Noir expansion with at least one other planned, but just by simply adding a few extra cards, they could easily skin this with an ancient Egyptian theme or Spanish Inquisition and so on, similar to a game such as T.I.M.E. Stories.

Wow, what a game. It's fair to say that I had some pretty high expectations for Chronicles of Crime, and it has delivered all ends up. I was surprised that such a meaty 'who done it' game could be fit into such a lightweight and fast-paced experience that is also challenging and potentially rewarding. Chronicles of Crime is certainly a game in which I am already looking forward to playing future content and excited to see what directions Lucky Duck can go in. I have enjoyed playing this game immensely, and it's already my favourite new game that I have played this year.

West Zakspeed Racing
Based in: Niederzissen
Principal: Eric Zakowski, Peter Zakowski
Erich Zakowski built up a formidable reputation as a saloon car racer during the 1960s. During the 1970 he developed a close relationship with Ford and was instrumental in the development of the Ford Capri and Escort, after taking over the factory team in 1976.
By 1983 Zakowski was looking towards F1 and planning his own entry into the top echelon of motor sport. Despite his considerable experience many felt it was a bold move when the team announced they would be building their own turbo engine.
Early cars were neat but not very effective and throughout the turbo years the team only secured two points. For 1989 the team switched to Yamaha engines - the Japanese company's first entry into F1 - but with similar results. The consequence of all that was that Zakowski returned to running a saloon car team - again with great success. It would appear however that he still has an eye on the F1 game as evidenced by his recent attempt to buy the Arrows team suggests.

Q: taking the inverse of power series I am working with solution to near regular singular points.
I started with:
$$y_1(x)=x^\frac{1}{2}\left[1-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9}{64}x^2-\frac{3}{256}x^3+\cdots\right] $$
Then I squared it:
$$y_1^2(x) = x\left(1-\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{27}{32}x^2-\frac{15}{64}x^3+\cdots\right)$$
Why is the inverse:
$$\frac{1}{x}\left[1+\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{45}{32}x^2+\frac{69}{64}x^3+\cdots\right] \text{ ?}$$
I cannot seem to see how this works out. Any pointers

A: If $$y=\sqrt{x} \left(1-\frac{3 x}{4}+\frac{9 x^2}{64}-\frac{3 x^3}{256}+\cdots\right)$$ then effectively $$y^2=x \left(1-\frac{3 x}{2}+\frac{27 x^2}{32}-\frac{15 x^3}{64} +\cdots\right)$$ Now you want to compute $\frac{1}{y^2 }$. You can write $$\frac{x}{y^2 }=\frac{1}{1-\frac{3 x}{2}+\frac{27 x^2}{32}-\frac{15 x^3}{64} +\cdots}$$ and perform the long division. Another way is to consider the rhs as $\frac{1}{1-z}$ and expand it as $$\frac{1}{1-z}=1+z+z^2+z^3+\cdots$$ and reuse  $$z=\frac{3 x}{2}-\frac{27 x^2}{32}+\frac{15 x^3}{64}+\cdots$$ to affectively arrive, after substitution and simplifications, to $$\frac{x}{y^2 }=1+\frac{3 x}{2}+\frac{45 x^2}{32}+\frac{69 x^3}{64}+\cdots$$ and finally $$\frac{1}{y^2 }=\frac{1}{x}\Big(1+\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{45}{32}x^2+\frac{69}{64}x^3+\cdots\Big)$$
From a semantic point of view, I shall not call that operation the inverse of a power series (which is something different).

Q: nginx: how can I redirect http to https in proxied requests? I have the following server block:
server {

    listen 192.0.2.1:443 ssl;
    listen 192.0.2.1:80;
    server_name support.example.com;
    ssl_certificate           /etc/ssl/certs/support.example.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key       /etc/ssl/private/support.example.com/privkey.pem;
    ssl_session_cache  builtin:1000  shared:SSL:10m;
    ssl_protocols  TLSv1.2;
    ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!CAMELLIA:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4;
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
    add_header Content-Security-Policy "frame-ancestors 'self' cloud.example.com example.com";
    access_log            /var/log/nginx/support.log;

    location / {
      proxy_set_header        Host $host;
      proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
      proxy_pass          https://support.example.com;
      proxy_read_timeout  90;
    }
     location ~ .well-known {

             root /srv/web;
    }
}

I'd want to every request except location ~ .well-known was redirect to https, I've tried with redirect directive but that did not work. I would like that every time that client requests a non-http request was redirected to https://support.example.com.
Note: I'd want to avoid to create a new virtual server for non-http requests.

A: The server block below will catch http requests for support.example.com and redirect to https.
Note: Before modifying configuration files always make a back. If something goes wrong you can rollback more easily.
server {
    listen 192.168.0.100:80;
    server_name support.example.com
    return 301 https://support.example.com$request_uri;
}

Below will catch both http & https requests for www.support.example.com to https support.example.com. Whilst this isn't important when using subdomains such as in your example, it is useful when you want www.example.com directed to example.com. I am only including it here because it might be useful to you or someone else.
server {
    listen 192.168.0.100:80;
    listen 192.168.0.100:443 ssl;
    server_name www.example.com;

    # SSL Certs stuff for www.example.com goes here

    return 301 https://example.com$request_uri;
}

Once you have caught all the requests you can process in the usual way.
server {
    listen 192.168.0.100:443 ssl;
    server_name example.com;

    # SSL Stuff and other requirements go here

}

All three of the above can be placed into /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com.conf
After making changes Nginx can check your modifications using the following command.
sudo nginx -t

You should get the following output;

nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

You can reload Nginx using the -s reload
sudo nginx -s reload

I hope this is what you were looking for.

My husband and I love greens of all kinds. Hearty, leafy winter greens are readily available during the winter months; a welcome addition to our table. Look for collard greens, kale, mustard greens, Swiss chard, and turnip greens.
See this post for two recipes using winter greens.
Look for greens that are crisp and vibrant in color. Avoid yellowing greens with droopy leaves and thick stems. To prepare, remove and discard the thick stems.
Chop roughly, including the more delicate stems.
Soak in lots of cool water and swish around to loosen any dirt. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat until the bottom of the bowl is free of any grit. To store, lightly spin dry; some residual moisture is desirable, which keeps the greens crisp and fresh. Roll in paper towel and place in an airtight container or plastic bag for up to a week.
Not only are greens delicious, they are low in calories, a good source of vitamins A and C, calcium, folic acid, and potassium. Greens mostly water (85-90%) and therefore shrink considerably during cooking. One large bunch will feed 2 people, so judge accordingly when purchasing.
Each green has a distinctive flavor and they are a great addition to soups, just stir in during the last 10 minutes of cooking. As a side dish, sauté with diced bacon or ham, onions, garlic. Add cooked potatoes, beans or rice for a heartier dish.
For post for two hearty winter green recipes.

AEYE Health Receives FDA Clearance for AI-based Autonomous Screening for Diabetic Retinopathy
The FDA has granted 510(k) approval to AEYE Health, allowing the company to commercialize its diabetic retinopathy diagnostic screening system.
With the recently approved CPT code 92229 for AI-diagnostic screening, it is now possible to receive reimbursement in the United States for utilizing AI to screen diabetics for retinopathy. The FDA's approval, according to AEYE Health, is based on key phase 3 trial findings that redefine the effectiveness and applicability of autonomous screening diagnostics in ophthalmology. These results include:
● Best-in-class clinical efficacy with 93% sensitivity and 91.4% specificity.
● Recognition as the first and only solution that requires only a single image per eye, which shortens the screening process to 1 minute and increases its practicality and seamlessness.
● Best-in-class imageability, delivering a diagnostic result for over 99% of patients and rarely requiring dilation.
The AEYE-DS is indicated for use with images obtained by the Topcon NW-400 desktop retinal camera. The company is continuing its work to receive clearance for the first diagnostic screening solution for a portable camera following its pivotal study data announced earlier this year.
Additionally, AEYE Health is advancing a follow-up program for the detection of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. The company recently announced this program has a high diagnostic potential with sensitivity and specificity of 92.2% and 92.6%, respectively, and anticipates starting FDA pivotal trials soon.
"This is a huge step in revolutionizing diagnostic screening for diabetic retinopathy. AEYE's technology delivers the first practical solution, as it features best-in-class efficacy alongside best-in-class usability, having the only one-image-per-eye solution and highest general and dilation-free imageability data," Zack Dvey-Aharon, PhD, CEO of AEYE Health, said in a company news release. "AEYE is still working to obtain clearance for the first and only diagnostic screening solution with a portable camera. We cannot be more excited to lead the innovation in this space with the goal of saving millions of people from losing their vision".
Sean Ianchulev, MD, Professor of Ophthalmology at New York Eye and Ear of Mount Sinai and Board member of AEYE Health, said, "The time has finally come for autonomous screening technology to exceed the efficacy of the human expert. The implications are that it can be practical for deployment on the front lines of population health – the primary care offices, where over 99% imageability and single image diagnostic acquisition are tantamount to market success".

Last year in October i arrived in Madison knowing few people except friends of my spouse, Jeffrey Wright. However, my many years working with the US Government, and moving from country to country, had given me the basic tools to move to a new place and ground myself and make friends. I had been doing this for most of my life as a foreign service officer with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). I am a walker. Having recently retired from USAID, i had plenty of time to walk, so i walked and stopped in bushiness and started a conversation, about my life and theirs. People, despite the social media age and being on face book, twitter, and many other social interactive sites, did want to talk and converse. SO, it gave me an idea, why not open a salon where people can come and have creative conversations and discuss issues. So after a year, I have had tremendous support from so may people in Madison for the idea and I will soon open A Place to be (picture below) where we can have face to face substantive discussions and a dialogue in an environment that is much like our living room. Comfortable and warm and welcoming. The web site http://www.aplacetobewillystreet.com will be up very soon. I except to open the place first week of November with the a discussion by small business owners who are women and what they bring to our community and challenges they face as women business owners.
If you live in Madison, please drop by. If you don't and were to visit, do stop by and enjoy some artifacts that we have collected from around the world and will be on display at A Place to Be.

Many of the Vienna Philharmonic musicians were members of the Nazi party during Hitler's regime, according to a report the orchestra issued March 10, 2013. Further, the orchestra delivered one of its most prestigious awards to a Nazi war criminal two decades after the end of World War II.
The Philharmonic has long been under fire for hiding the details of its Nazi past; the report includes biographies of Jewish members who were driven out and sent to death camps.
Among the most startling revelations was the origin of its famed New Year's concert, which today is broadcast to an audience of more than 50 million in 80 countries. It was designed as a propaganda vehicle for the Nazi party. The orchestra held the release of its report until its return to Austria from its U.S. tour earlier this month.

DART airport station set to open 4 months early
May 16, 2014 • by Nicole Schlosser
On Aug. 18, Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) will join the ranks of transit systems with rail connections to major airports as it opens its Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) station four months ahead of schedule and under budget.
The five-mile Orange Line extension from Belt Line Station to the newly rebuilt Terminal A at DFW will bring the longest light rail system in the U.S. to 90 miles.
RELATED: Report: Rail to airport connections a growing trend
When the DFW Airport Station opens, riders will only need to walk about 300 feet from the station to the terminal, making it convenient for people traveling to and from the Dallas/Fort Worth area as well as for people who work at or near the airport, DART President/Executive Director Gary Thomas said.
"Opening a project of this complexity early and under budget is a great testament to the work of our DART team and our colleagues at DFW Airport," Thomas said. "Support from the Federal Transit Administration and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was also crucial to beating the targeted opening."
When the DFW Airport Station opens, riders will only need to walk about 300 feet from the station to Terminal A, making it convenient for people traveling to and from the Dallas/Fort Worth area and those who work at or near the airport.
DART received a $5 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant as well as a $119 million Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act loan for the rail extension to the station. The first section of the Orange Line received $61 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds.
DART initially planned to be finished with the station in December. However, as its project partner, DFW International Airport was building the station, and as the transit system handled the track work and catenary systems, they realized they were ahead of schedule. Together, they were able to pin down the opening date, allowing enough time to get all the required testing and integration completed in a timely manner and still have enough time for the training of DART's operators.
Choosing an August opening date was particularly beneficial because that will make the station accessible before the State Fair of Texas, which starts in late September, and brings significantly high ridership, Thomas said. For example, over the last couple of years, the number of additional trips related to the fair was approximately 700,000 over a three-week period.
The project has also created about 60,000 jobs in and around DFW airport, from employees on airport property and businesses adjacent to it associated with hospitality, storage and logistics. The project created between 500 and 1,000 jobs not counting ancillary jobs, such as parts manufacturing, he added.
"All of those are solid employee bases, so I anticipate that this will be a well-used part of our system," Thomas said. "I think that will only grow as time goes on."
DART is currently projecting 1,200 trips per day going to the airport station, but Thomas said he can see that growing once more people become aware of the new station.
One challenge in completing the project was working with all the government entities that have control over the airport property.
"When you connect to the airport, you not only [work with] the FTA or Federal Railroad Administration, depending on your mode, you also have the FAA, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration," Thomas explained.
However, he said the project has been a good team effort.
"It's been fun to work on, and our partners at DFW have been great," Thomas said.

JOANNA YEATES' boyfriend, 27-year-old Greg Reardon, has issued a statement about his late partner.
''Jo loved it by Bristol's harbourside and found great joy in the local rowing club and evenings out overlooking the water.
''The memory of Jo will always be with me as I look across the harbour and remember our unforgettable and special times together.
''Jo was a beautiful woman, beautiful in mind, body and soul. She had a great career ahead of her as a landscape architect and would have achieved a great many more things in her life if only she was given the chance.
''I will always love her.
''My never-ending thanks go out to those who showed so much love for Jo in the events following her disappearance and, after dropping everything, from all corners of the country took to the streets of Bristol to campaign for her to be found safe and well.
''Sadly this wasn't the outcome we had all hoped for but we all, Jo's dear friends and family, now celebrate the life of one of the most lovely and genuine people to grace this Earth.
''Many people have approached us wishing to make a donation to charity in Joanna's memory.
''If you feel you'd like to give something back in Jo's name, I have set up a donation web page - www.justgiving.com/joannayeates.
''This will allow you to show support and appreciation for the Missing People charity that were so helpful in the campaign to find Jo following her disappearance.
''Missing People help reunite broken families with loved ones who run away or are snatched from the arms of those dearest by tragedy or social problems.
''Missing People offer a lifeline for the 250,000 people who run away and go missing each year.
''For those left behind, they search and provide specialised support to end the heartache and confusion at such difficult times.
''Jo's life was cut short tragically but the finger-pointing and character assassination by social and news media of as yet innocent men has been shameful.
''It has made me lose a lot of faith in the morality of the British Press and those that spend their time fixed to the internet in this modern age.
''I hope in the future they will show a more sensitive and impartial view to those involved in such heart-breaking events and especially in the lead-up to potentially high-profile court cases.

Open Letter to UN Security Council: IGAD Leaders behind Riek Machar's Detention
Posted: July 28, 2017 by PaanLuel Wël Media Ltd. in Commentary, Contributing Writers, Dak Buoth, Junub Sudan, Opinion Articles, Opinion Writers
By Eligo Dak Buoth, Nairobi, Kenya
Riek Machar and Emma McCunne
July 28, 2017 (SSB) — There are strange reasons that compel me to talk about Riek Machar even when I don't want to do so because I'm not a member of any of the embattled SPLM factions. Anything to do with SPLM has nothing to do with me for we are incompatible in form and character. This excerpt is not meant to exonerate Riek from what is currently bedeviling south Sudan. I'm just making the general appeal to the international community to be fair and just in their engagement in our political affairs.
Over times, the international community has been supporting Riek and defending Kiir at the same time, and this subjective approach has had severe repercussion on our populace. Instead, they should provide level playing field to all actors in South Sudan. As I said therein I'm not supporting Riek per se. I simply want to point out where he was wronged and mistreated, and if that will be misconstrued to mean that I'm supporting him, so be it.
As civil society member, I'm cognizant of a dictum opined by one civil society guru that ''civil society is political Actor; that civil society is distinct from the opposition and the state, and that it will be dereliction of duty of civil society actor if he don't engage the state and the opposition to governance, democracy and the human rights'.
Condemnation of the Closure of the Four Online News Websites in South Sudan

PaanLuel Wel website, along with Sudan Tribune, Radio Tamazuj and Nyamilepedia, has been blocked in South Sudan by the national security
July 21, 2017 (SSB) — We would like to vent our ire on the recent autocratic executive order to block the online news websites for the mother Sudan tribune.com, Nyamilepedia.com PaanluelWel.com and Radio Tamazuj.com
On 18th July, 2017, President Salva Kiir's regime via her mouthpiece Mr. Michael Makuei issued a draconian decree barring the aforementioned revolutionary online websites saying without any slightest feeling of shame that they are becoming hostile to them, which in our view is untrue.
This is another major blow on public informants and an act of disservice to our people. We felt very unhappy, and we condemned the decision makers and their decision altogether with contempt it deserves. If they have functional ears for hearing they should reverse this intolerable decision.
Open Letter to AU and IGAD: Festus Mogae Be Relieve and JMEC disbanded

Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC) Chairperson Festus Mogae visits Malakal.
April 21, 2017 (SSB) — It is an opportune time for President Festus Mogae, the Chair of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation commission (JMEC) to pack and go back where he came from. And if he so wish to remain in Juba, then he should be consider as an ex-JMEC Chairperson.
Festus' persistent silence on the face of deteriorating situation breeds confusion, complications, and hence makes the world stand aloof. And as Will Rodgers says ''Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction'' Without much ado, he ought to be excommunicated for he did not communicate what keep transpiring on the ground for reasons best known to him and company.
As matter of fact, I'm not happy with the way he is dancing on victims' graves together with those belligerents. To add insult to injury, I'm now seeing him dining and winning with the same peace violators whom he is supposed to offer wise counsel.

IGAD Communique on South Sudan, Nairobi, March 25, 2017.jpg
March 27, 2017 (SSB) — Hello Mr. President. How are you? I saw you on Citizen TV merely staring at people during IGAD summit held in Nairobi yesterday. And you look very timid and fidgeting yet you still have the gut to say that you're the President of the Republic of South Sudan. With all due respect, you were floating seemingly clueless throughout the session. I actually pitied you.
If I may ask, do you really care to know what it means to be the head of state? I doubt whether you know what you're doing! Did anyone ever whisper to you that you're a Head of 'Refugee State' with over 1.5 million people displaced or that is just number? I do not think so. If at all you were aware and concern of anguish we are going through, thing could be different, and perhaps you could not just be spectating when the Agenda revolve around refugee affairs.

Child Soldiers Recruitment was justifiable in the Pre and Post Independent South Sudan
Mabior Garang and Madam Nyandeng in Arusha, Tanzania
March 18, 2017 (SSB) —- ''My aim here is to suggest how to organize for power: how to get it and use it. I will argue that the failure to use power for more equitable distribution of the means of life for all people signals the end of the revolution and the start of the counterrevolution'' Paul Alinsky. This excerpt is meant to shed lights on what Rebecca Nyadeng uttered in Aljazeera TV on child soldiers' recruitment during John Garang's era in the 1980s. A few who have not had the glimpse of this talk show, she was hosted by one renowned Mehdi Hassan in program dubbed ''Upfront' in Washington DC on 24th February 2017.
I would like to compliment and add weight on what she said with view to make it fit and comprehensible in the context of human Rights. In doing this, I will try as much as possible to be factual for I think the number ten 'rule of the radicals' still right that ''never go outside the experiences of your people''. Bear in minds that this agenda is diverse and real. As such, we should not be too quick to judge Mama Nyadeng wrong with only one word she said regarding the same. It is very unfortunate that some people had already thrown the first stone on her forgetting the log in their eyes.
I find it unnecessary to mention her name as Rebacca Nyadeng Garang De Mabior for people to know and accord her the attention and respect she deserves. Of course, she and late John Garang are one and the same by virtue that they are married, and only death separated them. However, in the context of their roles in the pre-and post-independent South Sudan's struggles for democracy, I would say they're comrades serving under SPLM/A but performed distinctive functions for the movement.
Open Letter to Aaron Dubi: You're Our Commander in this Legal Battle of Forced Deportation

February 1, 2017 (SSB) —- I often heard people saying a matter in court is not subjected to discussion, I beg to talk a bid. Counsel, we have entrusted you as our lead Commander at the Milimani law courts, and we have put you in front with all our eyes on you. We have mandated you to see into it that your learned Friend Dong Luak and Aggrey Idri are produced alive and fit like fiddle.
As we await the court to resume its sitting tomorrow morning for the second time, I believe you have loaded your mind with evidences waiting to spray the court with the relevance facts and facts in issue. I have reason to be confidence that we shall emerge partially victory because the existing laws and statutes work in our favor. However, I'm aware that legal battle is not a walk in the park; In fact it is quasi-military battle characterized by life threats and intimidation et cetera.
I fondly recalled an emotive case of slain Kenyan Advocate Mr. Willy Kimani who loses his life in such a legal battle last year in Nairobi. It is my humble prayer that nothing will touch you. I hope you will not be cowed because your career is not just mere profession but rather a distinguish vocation or calling to serve humanity without distinction, and as such I urge you to soldier on.

The Colors of South Sudan's Flag have no Hierarchy
Posted: January 13, 2017 by PaanLuel Wël Media Ltd. in Dak Buoth, Opinion Articles, Opinion Writers
January 13, 2017 (SSB) — Early this week, some South Sudanese social media Users have vent their ire on Egyptian's authority for what they called sheer disregard and blatant insubordination of South Sudan and its citizenry. They felt disgusted with the way South Sudan's flag was displayed during the recent Salva Kiir's visit to Cairo on 10th January 2017. On his arrival at the Airport, the national flag was seen hanging upside down, that mean the green color was facing up and the black was facing down.
The Makers of South Sudan's flag have arranged it in such a way that, the black color would always appear on top whenever it is hoisted. The flag is composed of five colors namely black, white, green and the blue. The red color epitomizes the blood of the heroes, heroines and martyrs who struggled unwaveringly during the days of the liberation, black symbolizes South Sudanese citizenry, white color represent peace that we yearn for, green is fertile land, the blue represent the immortal waters of the Nile River, and the Star is our guider as we seek peace, justice and prosperity.
Don't Say Nothing Again: An Open Letter to Panyijiar County Commissioner
Posted: January 4, 2017 by PaanLuel Wël Media Ltd. in Commentary, Contributing Writers, Dak Buoth, Opinion Articles, Opinion Writers
one of the two planes that crash landed in Bor airport on Tuesday
January 4, 2017 (SSB) — Flip-plopping or rather what people called cat-walking is not an attitude worth emulating. It is better you restraint from saying something in the first place. You should never take your words for granted or else you're likely to be misunderstood by area residents across divides. Ideally, a conscious and accountable leader should not take a stance in the morning and reverse it at sunset. Once a formal decision is crafted and passed publicly, it must be uphold and respected to the letter and spirit.
That is not to say one cannot change his or her mind. It is normal but rare. Shifting goal posts should be avoided by people of your caliber. I'm aware that change is both natural and artificial; and that change is the phenomenon that breeds itself and facilitated by a few willing. Many things including formal agreements are subject to change, I understood nothing is rigid; and that everything is prone to adjustment and or revocation if deem appropriate. However, in event someone wants to retract, or change formal statement, there ought to be substantive and convincing reasons.
Over times, a person who makes decisions out of informed choices takes long time to change his or her mind. But people who make decisions out of emotions and undue influences require less than weeks or days to change their minds. I'm still grappling whether or not Panyijiar Aircraft and pilot case was an exercise under duress.
Open Letter to General Tappuot: Release the Dreaded Aircraft on Conditions
Posted: December 29, 2016 by PaanLuel Wël Media Ltd. in Columnists, Dak Buoth, Opinion Articles, Opinion Writers
December 29, 2016 (SSB) — Once more I wish to address the Panyijiar County commissioner General Tapuot, and the entire Panyijiar Civil defense Forces (PCDF). Compatriots, I wish you zealous moment throughout the festive seasons. A couple of days ago, on 15th December 2016, I wrote to you an excerpt titled 'Open letter to Nyuong Nuer; don't wait and see'. In the blink of an eye, the emotive issues I articulated in the aforesaid letter has soon comes to the fore. I then warned and wanted you to stay vigilant; that SPLM/A were acting dangerously, I encouraged you at the time not to ignore even an iota of any security threat. Hence, what you have witnessed was long overdue. I felt please for you had done exactly as I prefer.
On 27th December, we learned and confirmed via Sudantribune.com yesterday evening that an Aircraft belonging to SPLA's Mercenaries had landed at our Airstrip in Ganyliel town; and that the Panyijiar authority had detained the dreaded Aircraft and its quack pilot who is said to be foreigner. Whether they landed wittingly or unwittingly is immaterial. These absurd pilots and company must first be interrogated and undergo psychological reorientation for them to do the right things first; they should not act contrary to their professional ethics. It is always said, the competency of any professional is nothing without integrity and humanistic ideals. However, you should not discipline them in manner that is not repugnant to the International laws.
Let's Applaud President Salva Kiir's National Dialogue & Peace Initiative
Eligo Dak Buoth shaking Hands with South Sudan Ambassador to Kenya H.E Mariano Deng after signing students' concord at the Embassy Premises in June 2015
December 21, 2016 (SSB) — On 19th December, President Salva Kiir made a clarion call for dialogue in Juba, and I welcome it. In fact they should begin the process now, if not now right now. Let them continue and move with speed to do what is desirable because time is not on our sides.
Largely, I was also gladdened that he has named many of his well-known Handlers and sympathizers in his intra-dialogue. Over 30 persons are party to this dialogue; the likes of Joseph Lagu, Abel Alier, Dr. Francis Mading Deng, Rachel Nyadak Paul and other political dinosaurs. Vast majority of these appointees may lack ambitions but they all have the abilities to advise their comrade Salva Kiir to act rationally with a view to reverse our country on the path to abyss, and rescue the nation on deathbed or comma.
I must say, it is an encouraging gesture. You would fondly recall at the onset, the rain started beating us when we stopped dialoguing; and each time we dialogue, we engaged unfaithfully and with ulterior motives. We have perfected the art of violating any agreement, instead we thrive in disagreements, violence and defiant to dialogue and democracy. If we grab and utilized this opportunity, you never know it could be the turning point; we could get on right track to the road of peace, unity and development.

Dak Buoth speaking during an Interview with Standard Newspaper in Nairobi, 2015
December 4, 2016 (SSB) — Today last month, the 4th November 2016, the revered spokesperson James Gatdet Dak, my namesake was unlawfully repatriated to South Sudan where he could face detention, torture and abuses by vermin at the hands of the regime in Juba. Kenya told Associate press news Agency through her spokesperson Mr. Eric Kiraithe, ''that James Gatdet Dak became an inadmissible person, so we cancelled his visa and he was taken back to his country of origin''
JAMES GATDET DAK: A VICTIM VICTIMIZED
It is now a month long period since he was ejected from Nairobi. For the benefit of back-benchers who are not yet aware of what prompted James Gatdet Dak's deportation, it was linked to a comment he wrote on his Facebook page concerning an emotive case between Kenya and United Nations (UN) where Mr. Ban Ki-moon relieved General Kimani Mogoa, the Kenyan force commander of the United Nations mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) of his duties citing leadership failure among others. The former's decision to dismiss the latter was based on ''independent investigative report'' on the violence which occurred on July 8-25, 2016.

November 23, 2016 (SSB) — On or about Wednesday 23rd November 2015 today in history, late General Tito Biel Chuor Puot Nhial was brutally murdered in cold blood alongside hundreds of his unarmed foot-soldiers in an unexpected attack orchestrated by SPLA and UPDF gunships at Mundri County, Eastern Equatoria State, Republic of South Sudan
This November 2015 will forever remain etched in the mind of millions South Sudanese youth, women and all compatriots from all walks of life, and for the gruesome reasons. The deceased's extended family, his struggling Naath community, and the nation at large have not yet come to term with this painful reality up to today. The country of south Sudan was robbed in broad day light of an energetic and combative defender of people's rights. General Tito Biel was not nonagenarian by the time he was killed for he was in his 60s; this is the perfect age for person to impart his rich experiences, wisdom unto the youth, and act with sobriety and decorum. At the age of 60s one normally envisioned the destiny with an immaculate clarity and certainty.

Major Gift For UC's Ohio Innocence Project
91.7 WVXU | By Bill Rinehart
A $15 million gift to the University of Cincinnati's College of Law will allow the expansion of a program designed to free the wrongfully convicted.
The donation to the Ohio Innocence Project comes from Dick Rosenthal. He and his late wife Lois were instrumental in building the program in 2003, according to Director Mark Godsey.
"The Rosenthals, as pretty much everyone in the city knows, are unbelievable philanthropists who've done so much for our city. With this gift, they're insuring that our project, our Innocence Project will be able to continue in perpetuity."
In 2004, the Rosenthals donated $1 million to create and endow the Lois and Richard Rosenthal Institute for Justice at UC, which includes the Ohio Innocence Project.
Godsey says the program has about 20 law students participate each year.
We're trying to teach them that even a student can challenge the system; that anybody can stand up for justice.
Godsey calls the donation "mind blowing."
"Since we started in 2003, we've reviewed over 8,000 cases, and we are very selective. We've only gone to court saying that someone's innocent, or they deserve a new trial, less than probably 30 times, and we've won a good percentage of those."
The Innocence Project has freed 24 people from wrongful imprisonment.
"When John Cranley and I founded the organization, we were just a couple of young lawyers, but Lois and Dick knew how to build institutions. They had a vision and helped teach John and me how to take our ideas and passion to the next level."
Godsey says in addition to reviewing cases, the program may be able expand its legislative efforts.
"We not only use cases to get innocent people out of prison, but legislation is a part of it and public awareness. So we'll be looking at how we can fulfill those goals by possibly hiring more people to assist in the legislative efforts, the awareness efforts and the litigation efforts."

Islamabad: Pakistan, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan have signed a strategic plan for a mega railway project to improve regional trade and connectivity, offering the landlocked region direct access to the Arabian Sea.
The signing ceremony for the multi-billion-dollar project took place in Tashkent following trilateral talks attended by senior officials from the three countries. Pakistan's Advisor to the PM on Commerce and Investment Razak Dawood, Uzbekistan Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Investments Sardor Umurzakov and Afghanistan's Foreign Minister Hanif Atmar led their respective countries.
Multi-billion-dollar railway link
Representatives of international financial organisations who attended the meeting welcomed the initiative and expressed readiness to provide full support for the project, which will be crucial for regional economic growth. The three countries earlier signed a joint proposal seeking a $4.8 billion loan from global financial institutions to develop the rail route.
Rail project details
The trans-Afghan railway line 'Mazar-e-Sharif – Kabul – Peshawar' project comprises of 573-km long railway track and will connect Pakistan's Peshawar city to Afghanistan's cities of Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif all the way to Uzbekistan. The trilateral project connecting Pakistan with Afghanistan and Uzbekistan will include both passenger and cargo high-speed trains, according to Pakistan's Minister for Railways Azam Khan Swati.
- Cost: US$4.8 billion
- Track length: 573-km
- Goal: Improve regional trade and connectivity by offering landlocked Central Asia direct access to Pakistan's Arabian Sea port.
Pakistan's commerce advisor Razak Dawood said that the roadmap for the railway project would connect the three countries and open a new chapter of regional development. The initiative "will connect Central and South Asia by the shortest route" and open Pakistan's seaports to the Central Asian and Eurasian railway systems to boost trade flows and strengthen the regional economy, Dawood said in his separate meeting with Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The two sides also discussed development of road, rail and air connectivity for freight transport and also a preferential trade agreement to boost bilateral trade.
Improve regional trade and connectivity
The high-level summit takes place following the meeting of Prime Minister Imran Khan and Uzbekistan's Minister for Transport Makhkamov Ilkham in Islamabad in December 2020 to improve rail and road connectivity. Highlighting the significance of joint efforts to promote connectivity for regional development, PM Khan said that "Pakistan's seaports provide a great opportunity to the Central Asian States" to access the Arabian Sea. The project will help improve regional "trade and connectivity through Afghanistan to Central Asia Republics," Dawood said.
The trilateral rail project would also open new opportunities for ensuring peace and stability in Afghanistan by creating tens of thousands of new jobs, the official statement said. At the Tashkent meeting, the three sides also agreed to conduct a joint expedition to survey the route and investigate the terrain conditions as well as a preliminary feasibility study for the project. The officials of the three states described the rail project as "a powerful platform" with the potential to stimulate economic growth of the three countries as well as regional and interregional trade.

'Uri: The Surgical Strike' to re-release in theatres on Republic Day 25th January 2021
Mumbai, Sep 17 (PTI) Director Aanand L Rai says his next film featuring superstar Shah Rukh Khan is special and challenging in many ways than his previous ventures.
The filmmaker says the biggest task for him is to make the movie look real.
In an interview to PTI, Rai says, "It is definitely more special. It (film) is an uphill task and we were all ready for it, be it me or Shah Rukh sir.
"If we don't do it now then when will we do it? The biggest task for me is to keep it very organic as everything is so new around us for everybody, from actors to technical team. The task is to keep it very real."
SRK is quite charged up about this yet-to-be-titled film and Rai says he is happy that the superstar is showing confidence in him.
"His love and confidence shows his affection and that makes me more responsible. The best part is he makes me more confident and it gives me a lot of strength. It shows his attachment to the story.
"It is great for me to work with such a sensible man and this experience will stay with me life long. This relationship will be with me till I am here."
Rai, 46, says he does not have any performance pressure because of the presence of a superstar in the movie and will stick true to the story.
"I will follow my own story route. I believe in a very organic process and gimmick is for diversion and I would not to do that. I don't take pressure but there is a responsibility.
"I am here to give numbers but that is directly proportional to how we entertain our audience. I think that is the way Shah Rukh also functions. He is a very people's actor and same way I will see to it that we get onto the numbers that are expected from us."
The director adds that today's audience is more inclined towards content and star power of the film does not influence their decision of watching it.
"People will come to watch the film and they will stay with you only if they like the story. I am not only looking at weekend numbers but I would want the film to get acceptance and hope it runs for days and days. For me it is more about the journey of the film than just the weekend."
The movie revolves around a four feet tall man and his life. It also features Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif.
The film is slated to open in cinemas by the end of 2018.

Gilbert & Sullivan/ D'Oyly Carte Opera Company - Gilbert & Sullivan: Princess Ida / Gilbert & Sullivan Spectacular
Gilbert & Sullivan/ D'Oyly Carte Opera Company
ID: aec.eloa8253494.2
Gilbert & Sullivan: Princess Ida / Gilbert & Sullivan Spectacular Eloquence Australia
Review Text The first full-length D'Oyly Carte company recording of a late Savoy opera (Princess Ida), newly remastered and generously coupled with a Phase 4 album featuring hit songs and numbers from the unequalled partnership of W.S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. Princess Ida is unusual among Savoy operas for having a pair of tenor leads, and it is a rare treat to two of the finest tenors in the history of D'Oyly Carte side by side in this recording, and forming a superb trio with baritone Jeffrey Skitch's Florian. Thomas Round gives a heroic performance as the romantic lead, Prince Hilarion, and Leonard Osborn takes the comic role of Hilarion's friend Cyril. The two previous recordings of Princess Ida were heavily cut, whereas this 1954 set presents Sullivan's score (one of his finest) very nearly complete. Also notable is the presence of the soprano Victoria Sladen in the title role. Though not a member of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, she was cast to give vocal authority to one of the most uncompromisingly and thrillingly operatic parts in the G&S canon.
