Topics covered in this course: International Civil Rights
Countries and societies emerging from armed conflict, dictatorship or periods of widespread and violent social and political conflict often face dilemmas over how to pursue peace and reconciliation without setting aside justice and accountability. In some of these countries – such as South Africa, Argentina, the former East Timor, Liberia, Canada and more recently, Nepal and Tunisia -- what has come to be known within the international human rights movement as "transitional justice" has been applied to pursue peace, justice, accountability and perhaps reconciliation. The most prominent example of a transitional justice institution is the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of South Africa. But there are other institutions and processes, including truth commissions in Morocco, Kenya and Liberia, the war crimes tribunals in Sierra Leone and Cambodia or the reparations program in the Philippines and Peru for victims of dictatorships, that show both the possibilities and limits of transitional justice.
Of these different transitional justice measures, reparations for victims of war crimes, crimes against humanity and human rights violations are one of the most complicated measures to design and implement. Legislating, adjudicating or even implementing reparations can get complicated because of the legal and political implications that taking responsibility implies. In the United States, the idea of reparations as a response to past injustices is not unfamiliar: reparations were given, for example, to Japanese-Americans 'interned' during World War II. Yet it is also contentious, as exemplified by debates over reparations for slavery. Outside the US, the legal and practical debates over whether and how reparations can be made can be just as complex, involving overlaps between international legal obligations and national law and its intersection with development and social justice policies. In all of these settings, the basic question is almost always the same: how can reparations be made so that those that receive them get a sense that justice is being done?
Ruben Carranza is a human rights lawyer who currently heads the Reparative Justice Program at the New York-based International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ). In his work with ICTJ, he has helped address legal, policy and practical issues involving reparations in various countries and regions emerging from conflict or dictatorship, including in sub-Saharan Africa (Kenya, South Africa, Liberia, Uganda), North Africa and the Middle East (Iraq, Palestine, Tunisia and Libya), Asia and the Pacific (Nepal, the Philippines, Timor-Leste, the Solomon Islands) and Latin America (Peru, Colombia). He has provided advice to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Khmer Rouge tribunal in Cambodia and has assisted various United Nations missions including more recently UN missions in Libya and the Central African Republic (CAR). Before joining ICTJ he was the Philippines government commissioner in-charge of investigating and prosecuting the family of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos for corruption and human rights violations. He is a graduate of the University of the Philippines College of Law and was a Global Public Service Lawyering Fellow at New York University Law School, where he acquired his LL.M. in 2005.
Introduce participants to the field of transitional justice, the role of reparations programs in that field, and how such programs have been implemented in many post-conflict and post-dictatorship countries
Identify the basic international human rights and humanitarian law principles and legal instruments that should guide reparations policymaking and implementation
Provide participants with examples from the field and practice of reparations that illustrate some of the key dilemmas and challenges involved

The Druids are accustomed to keep away from war, nor do they pay tribute with other people; they have exemption from military service and a general immunity. In the interim, I hold that the last word on the subject was uttered by the gentleman in _Punch_:–'Oh, what a 'eavenly dinner we've 'ad!'–'Enough to make yer wish yer was born 'oller.' The gourmet's art, in short, operates, if at all, only during the actual process of the deglutition of food; it has no concern with what happens afterwards. The English women are particularly shocked at it, who are allowed to hate their husbands, provided they do not like any body else. In the Bavarian and Saxon laws the wergeld of the _litus_ was one fourth that of the freeman. Shall not a beggarly duty, discharged with perfect temper, land him in "the out-courts of Glory," quite as successfully as a grand Sunday-school excursion to front the cruel Paynim foe? We are thus brought back to the consideration of the simplest form of Phallic worship, that which has for its object the generative organs, viewed as the mysterious instruments in the realisation of that keen desire for children which distinguishes all primitive peoples. It shows that at a later date the immediate 'erbsuhne' was two-thirds, and the share of the kindred one third. "A barbarian chief might often be induced to marshall his men in the order of their heights, or in that of the popular estimate of their skill in any capacity; but it would require some apparatus and a great deal of time to measure each man separately, even supposing it possible to overcome the usually strong repugnance of uncivilized people to any such proceeding" (_Phil. In this connexion, a saying ascribed to Edmund Waller is worth notice: "Sidney and Bacon were nightingales who sang only in the spring, it was the diversion of their youth." 3: From Mr. If impenetrability is generally regarded as a quality of matter, the reason is that the idea of number is thought to be independent of the idea of space. In Dieppe there is one huge, misshapen, but venerable-looking Gothic Church (a theological fixture,) instead of twenty new-fangled erections, Egyptian, Greek or Coptic. The purpose of this paper will be to compare and contrast the courage, endurance and soldierly qualities of the different brigades engaged in this assault, dwelling especially upon the conduct of the troops commanded respectively by Generals Pickett and Pettigrew. In either case it is a guardian spirit, whether it is called a "mystery" animal or an object having the attributes of Deity. So popular is this fancy among the more sentimental part of the population, that when a walker refuses meat (as cheap content proofreading site ca some do), or beer (as some do), or tobacco (as a very few do), it is thought something almost wrong, something out of the picture, an error of taste; and many walkers, either from cowardice or from courtesy to the weaknesses of others, have done violence to their own canons of diet in order to fit into the popular picture. For instance, in the 60th regiment the rolls of only nine companies could be found, which carried upon them only 467 names. Accordingly, we construct a die whose sides are accurately alike, and it is found that we may do almost what we like with this, at any previous stage to that of its issue from the dice box on to the table, without interfering with the random nature of the result. It is strange that the name of the Egyptian princess who is said to have brought up Moses is given by Josephus as _Thermuthis_, this being the name of the sacred asp of Egypt (see "_supra_"). Now, if we mix up the French and English heights, what will follow? That circumcision at least had a superstitious origin may be inferred from the traditional history of the Jews.

The greater part of Christ's active life probably belonged to the second period. The sick and the mad must be herded into hospitals; poverty into cellars; disobedient passions into the depths of the soul. The common algebraical solution of the problem in §5 (to begin with the simplest case) is of course as follows. None the less, there is a rhythm, and it can do something towards pacifying the body, enlarging the mind, and beating the disordered discourse of intellect into the smooth series of contemplation.

The ignorant look at them with wonder—the more judicious, with pain and astonishment at the perversion of talents and industry. Paul, in a remarkable passage, speaks of the Spirit as interceding with God for man.[98] In order to understand the origin of this belief of the early Church that the spirit of God, as a distinct being, sustained it in its struggle with the world, it must be remembered that the Jewish Christians regarded Christianity as a movement from among the unconverted Jews similar to the movement of ancient Israel from among the Egyptians. The law of tribal gravitation here as elsewhere, aided, no doubt, by other potent forces, had been at work placing the man with an imperfect kindred in a dependent position at the bottom of the social ladder. man n?nig yfel ne gede? But, though I made several inquiries, I cannot find that this is the case; their name is a common term of reproach among the women of the country, nor could any man of decent caste marry one of their number."[235] The courtesans of Hindostan do not appear to be attached to the temples, but Tavernier relates that they made offerings to certain idols, to whom they surrendered themselves when young to bring good fortune. But we are told that the Germans knew nothing of co-operative ploughing and the team of eight oxen on which the agricultural hidage of England was so clearly based. When Essex's fortunes declined, and the Earl fell into disgrace, Bacon endeavored to mediate between the Queen and her favorite. 197), has expressed a somewhat similar view, of course in a way more consistent with the principles of modern science, physical and mathematical. Brighton stands facing the sea, on the bare cliffs, with glazed windows to reflect the glaring sun, and black pitchy bricks shining like the scales of fishes. It has vast merit in the drawing and expression, but its most remarkable quality is the amazing relief without any perceivable shadow, and the utmost clearness with the smallest possible variety of tint. Before leaving Rome, we went to Tivoli, of which so much has been said. The black monk leads the young scholar into some mysterious remoteness, where the best dreams of mankind shall be realised. Instead of creeping along the valleys, it passes along the ridges of hills to prevent surprise, or watch the movements of an enemy, and thus generally commands an extensive view of the country, such as it is. The event being past, these feelings are, at the time, in strictness inappropriate. With respect to them, famine and scarcity are by comparison almost unknown now, at any rate in tolerably civilized communities. [Illustration] Such is, in the main, the question which you put when you bring in a philosopher Paul, who lives before Peter and has to picture to himself the conditions under which Peter will act.

Anticipating the arrival of the Standard Gauge Railway along Lake Victoria
November 11, 2019 In Capacity Building, Kenya By UNEPWCMC
To gain insight into the web of complexities that surround mega-development projects, Dr. Jessica Thorn from the University of York coordinated a Participatory Scenario Planning Workshop in Kisumu in August 2019.
The complex social-ecological system of Lake Victoria
Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa, the second largest freshwater lake in the world, and the chief reservoir of the Nile. Located on the lake's shores, Kisumu city is a key gateway for Kenya and serves as the main commercial land and air transportation hub. However, in the next year, the arrival of the new Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) will substantially transform future trajectories. This could have implications for the population of 44.9 million people, fisheries, trade, agriculture, climate and biodiversity.
Kisumu city was chosen as one of the six cities for the workshops because the Kenya Railways Corporation plans to connect Kenya's capital of Nairobi to Malaba at the international border with Uganda. The anticipated stretch running from Naivasha to Kisumu will measure 262km and will upgrade the port of Kisumu. Considering the scale and extent of the project, the railway provides important insights into how sustainable, resilient and inclusive delivery of development corridors can be achieved.
Cluster and ranking drivers of land use change.
Why use scenarios to model uncertainty and manage risk?
Participatory scenario planning is a powerful tool in strategic foresight and collaborative design. It brings diverse groups of people together from local to international levels in government, public, research and private institutions. In a transdisciplinary spirit, we worked with different stakeholders including the Lake Victoria Development Authority, Lake Victoria Tourism Association, Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya Forest Research Institute, Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, Tinada Youth Organization, Eco-finder, Tropical Institute of Community Health and Development, UN Habitat, and public private partnerships including the Kisumu City Business Community, amongst others.
Workshop focus and outcomes
A view to the past to inform future adaptation pathways
The timeline of interest was from 1985 (when the British Empire established the East Africa Protectorate), to 1964 (independence of the Republic of Kenya), to the present (2019). Participants investigated how the arrival of the meter-gauge railway in Kisumu in 1901 and other historic dynamics significantly enhanced trade at the lakeside city. We then explored present and future land use drivers of change and envisioned future scenarios, both in the short-term (i.e. 2030 connected to the Sustainable Development Goals), and long-term (i.e. 2063, connected to the African Union Agenda).
We asked, what do you understand by the term development corridors?
The constituents of Kisumu considered development corridors to be integrated infrastructural projects and programs, implemented with the aim to spur economic development. However, they also include the surrounding parcels of land earmarked for the development of roads, railways, water ports, geothermal power stations, solar or biogas plants, dams, water transport and airports.
Fleshing out scenario narratives to inform land use simulations
After three days of intense deliberation and co-design in scenario elicitation, we identified driving forces and fleshed out scenario narratives and quantitative inputs able to inform land-use simulations. Key factors that emerged as important to ensure sustainable implementation of the SGR were the spectrums of uncertainty surrounding environmental conservation, water availability and supply, food production, disaster risk reduction, urban planning and good governance, including transport connectivity, housing provisioning and infrastructural maintenance.
Narrative construction
Four scenarios were constructed, entitled: (1) "A promising, sustainable techno city", (2) "The Great Lakes Economic Reconnaissance", (3) "Kwekwe Republic", and (4) "Planning the conservation conversation, or fail".
The scenarios highlighted the potential outcomes based on potential social and environmental drivers. For example, in the diverse, plausible future, stakeholders envisioned on the one hand, a port constructed in Kisumu could improve regional economic integration between Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania through better inland water transport linkages. The international airport could increase the arrival of international privately operating actors, leading to new investment opportunities (e.g., in tourism and hospitality) and simultaneously increasing competition. Transport could become more accessible, promoting trade and associated development.
On the other hand, implications of increased connectivity could include more demand for fish thereby threatening fish stocks, maritime security risks, and the eviction of local people to make room for ports. Reactive urban planning could result in traffic backlogs, air pollution, and blockage of wildlife migratory corridors.
Timeline and participatory land cover change mapping.
Overall, the process was as important as the outcome, whereby participants achieved a deeper understanding of how every intervention could result in benefits and tradeoffs, winners and losers.
What ten key lessons can decision makers glean for the upcoming phase of the SGR?
1) Well-defined zoning policies, urban planning and associated strategic action plans can manage the unprecedented change that lies ahead, foster political harmony when managing shared resources, and avoid the deterioration of overstretched infrastructure.
2) The need to invest in water towers, control gully erosion, restore after construction, adhere to the Sendai Framework, and strengthen statutory institutions to enforce strict regulations (e.g., National Environmental Management Authority and Kenyan Forestry Service).
3) Transparent management and financing is needed, and contractors should equitably share revenue and create skilled and non-skilled employment for the surrounding communities. This should include enhancing female and youth empowerment.
4) Use low carbon, locally sourced materials and invest in clean energy sources (e.g., electric motors rather than diesel).
5) Enhance civic education along the SGR in environmental conservation, HIV/AIDS and STIs, indigenous knowledge, and regarding the proposed routes and existing boundaries of protected areas.
6) A multi-stakeholder, multi-level, multi-sectoral, participative and consultative approach to planning and implementation, and the active investment in local community at all levels, is essential to project sustainability and to strengthen partnerships.
7) Community health volunteers and clinics should be put in place along lines to assess the health support needed for individual households.
8) Implement a resettlement action plan and ensure people are compensated for the land acquired for the SGR construction.
9) Strategic foresight and long-term action plans are needed to guide future developments of projects.
10) Strong institutional structures should be put in place to harmonize national development policies.

Angry Birds Space: out of this world or crash and burn?
After a considerable amount of anticipation and a marketing campaign that included an educational video from NASA, the latest entry in Rovio's phenomenally successful Angry Birds series is here. Boasting the biggest change to the game's formula since its inception, Angry Birds Space shot straight to the top of the App Store charts in a matter of hours following its release yesterday, and has since received a large amount of press coverage from both mainstream and mobile specialist game sites. The game is available now for iOS in separate paid iPhone and iPad format apps, for Android via Google Play in paid and ad-supported versions, via Amazon's Android Appstore in paid, ad-supported and special Kindle Fire versions, for Mac via Apple's Mac App Store and for PC via the official website.
The core gameplay of Angry Birds Space is still the same as it ever was. Players fling the titular Birds at various precariously-balanced structures in order to crush evil green pigs. The big twist on the formula this time is, as the title suggests, space. Rather than simply dealing with gravity working in a single direction, players must now contend with the gravitational pull of various celestial bodies when deciding where to flick their birds.
The addition of multiple planes of gravity gives many levels a much stronger "puzzle" feel than the original games, whose challenges could often be solved by a combination of brute force and trial and error. By comparison, in Angry Birds Space players might find themselves flicking a bird "underneath" a planet in order that it can fly around behind a pig's defenses to cause massive damage. It's a subtle change to the game's mechanics, but it also provides some welcome variety to the gameplay, particularly when combined with the various new superpowered birds in the player's arsenal.
Unfortunately, the most oft-criticized element of the original games — an inconsistently-applied physics model which sometimes sees pigs inexplicably surviving several tons of masonry falling atop their heads — is still present. Thus, the game is unlikely to convert many of those who did not enjoy the original games for this reason.
That said, there is plenty of content for the astronomical number of people who did enjoy the earlier titles. The base game features 60 levels, with Rovio promising regular free updates for paying customers. There is also an optional $0.99 in-app purchase available known as "Danger Zone," which promises "30 of the most difficult levels ever." Mighty Eagles, the paid-for "quick win" items from the earlier games, are also available, though these are now a premium consumable item rather than a one-time purchasable option. To balance this out, progressing through the game's campaign now allows players to earn Mighty Eagles for free.
The enduring popularity of the Angry Birds brand practically guarantees Angry Birds Space a huge amount of success, and while the space mechanics add a welcome twist to the gameplay, the new game stays mostly true to its roots. In short, it will continue to delight fans and infuriate detractors while continuing to cement Rovio's reputation as one of the great success stories of the App Store age.
Angry Birds Space and Angry Birds Space HD top the iPhone and iPad paid apps charts respectively. Follow their progress with AppData, our traffic tracking service for iOS and social games and developers.


Candy Hoover, a large multi brand manufacturer of home appliances, officially launched a line of connected home appliances last week in London under the brand Hoover Wizard. The lineup, which it announced in April and includes a dishwasher, fridge, oven and washing machine is expected to ship in August.
The Hoover Wizard Wi-Fi appliance product line isn't the first lineup of connected appliances from Candy, The product line looks similar to a lineup to that of a product under the company's Candy subsidiary called simply-Fi.
This news is interesting because it marks a fairly aggressive approach by a large appliance manufacturer to create an entire line of products across multiple brands. Candy Hoover is one of Europe's biggest appliance makers, and while others like Bosch and Haier have been making noise about smart appliances, Candy Hoover looks like it may have the most comprehensive lineup so far of the European appliance manufacturers.
Big news out of the kitchen commerce world last week. Freshub, which makes a kitchen commerce platform, announced it had integrated with NCR and its retail platform for third party applications and services, RetailOne.
As many know, NCR is one of the largest point of retail sale technology providers in the world. The company's RetailOne is their full-stack platform for integration with a variety of third party technology offerings across a variety of points of sale - what they call omnichannel. With it's partnership with Freshub, omnichannel also now includes the kitchen itself.
Freshub's technology is an embeddable commerce platform that integrates with appliances. Now with a partnership with NCR, Freshub now can tie into those retailers, CPG and appliance brands that are already partners with NCR. Conversely, NCR partners can now start building kitchen commerce services tied to their products.
The kitchen commerce space has started to heat up this year, first with the debut of Amazon's Dash Replenishment Service and now with a large POS provider in NCR entering the market. If you are interested in hearing more about this space, Freshub CEO Iri Zohar will be a speaker at the Smart Kitchen Summit in November.
You can still buy early bird tickets for the Smart Kitchen Summit here before the end of July.

We would like to ask you to send in pictures of your final diy project, showing your peers and fellow diy enthusiasts what you had in mind when configuring a sheet metal part like a z channel, hat channel or a triangle.
If you want we can even publish a small statement of yours describing your diy project and give others an idea how creative you are.
Here are some examples of last weeks projects we cut, bend and welded for you.

Q: Laravel 4 - Rename downloaded files on the fly I have a form on my app that allows users to upload a file .. That file gets given a random name, saved to the file system and the details including the original name of the file and the random name of the file gets saved to the database.
When the user clicks the link to re-download the file, i want the file to be renamed to the original file name on the fly but kept as the random name in the file system... if that makes sense.
The code i'm using to download the file at the moment is as follows
// Download the document
$file = public_path() . '/uploads/' . $document->userid . '/' . $document->storedname;
return Response::download($file);

The random filename that is created on upload is $document->storedname
The original name of the file is stored as $document->originalname

A: Pass it as the second argument to the download method:
return Response::download($file, $document->originalname);

A: $newName = "download.pdf";
            $filename="samplepdf.pdf";
            $path = storage_path("app/public/" . $filename);

            if (!\File::exists($path)) {
                return response()->json(['status' => false], 404);
            }

            return response()->download($path,$newName);

According to the latest report from Sensor Tower, iOS 11 may stop supporting about 200,000 32-bit apps that aren't yet updated with the support for 64-bit processors.
Currently, when users try to open such apps on their iPhones or iPads running iOS 10.3 beta, they see a warning saying "This app will not work with future versions of iOS. The developer of this app needs to update it to improve its compatibility." Looks like all these apps won't be supported at all after the update to iOS 11.
Sensor Tower has analysed the app intelligence data and determined that there're 187,000 apps on the App Store that won't work in iOS 11 unless their developers add the support for 64-bit architecture. In other words, that's about 8% out of all existing apps.
Apple is expected to unveil iOS 11 at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Most likely, the new firmware version won't work on iPhone 5 and older devices.

Reader Chloe wrote in asking if I could help her style this navy and white dress she purchased recently. She's tried both a cropped blazer (she thought it looked too boxy) and a cotton cardigan (which she felt sort of dowdy in) - basically neither worked. She wants a couple ideas on how to cover it up for cooler weather, and here are two suggestions I sent her (click on any of the photos for more info with the exception of the dress - you can click HERE for more information).
This cardigan has a slim fit (see it here on Chloe from The Chloe Conspiracy), and belted it will give (the other) Chloe even more of a shape.
For this second look I thought the dress would look cute with a fitted leather jacket over it. You could substitute the booties for neutral flats or heels if you prefer.
