Recently I was asked to decide what my two primary conditions are. ME/CFS is the indisputable elephant sitting on my chest. But the chance to pick another one – so much to choose from.
The other day, I came to a conclusion: it's really horrible, what's happening to me. It sounds obvious, but it's taken me ages to figure it out. I feel like I'm drowning in treacle. All my skin is sore and sensitive, and I can't remember what it's like to not be in pain. If I climb more than one flight of stairs, I feel dizzy and breathless and I need to have a sit down and a drink of water. Usually, I get cross with myself about all these things. My twenties are slipping through my fingers. I need to try harder, do more exercise; I'm overreacting, perhaps I'm making the whole thing up. If it's my fault, if I'm sabotaging myself, that means there's something I'm doing wrong, something I can correct. Something I can control. Trouble is, I'm not sabotaging myself, I'm not doing anything wrong, and I can't really control any of this. I'm doing everything I possibly can to get better, and it is working a little bit. But this was never something I chose. It is really horrible, what's happening to me, and to a certain extent I have to surrender.
What exactly is happening to me? If ME/CFS is elephant number one, can depression be elephant number two? It is possible that both of these conditions, independently of one another, are in fact labels assigned to a number of different illnesses with similar symptoms. I am floating around in two separate circles on two separate Venn diagrams, and perhaps one day it might be nice if I could slot into a smaller circle within one or both of the bigger circles, but I'm not holding out much hope. The point is, I don't know exactly what's wrong with me, or why.
Having said all of that, depression goes hand in hand with CFS. It's not really surprising that if you've got an illness that makes you unimaginably tired for reasons we don't really know why, and that plenty of people (including yourself) might tell you it isn't actually real, that you might get depressed along the way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is often suggested as a treatment for CFS, but no amount of therapy can teach you to be less fatigued, or less in pain. It can only teach you to think differently about that fatigue and that pain.
I'm pretty sure I've been suffering from CFS for about two and a half years now. Half a year into this period, I was diagnosed with depression, but it wasn't until six months ago that I was diagnosed with CFS. The two have been playing ping pong with me for so long now, and their arms must be getting really tired, because I am not a light and bouncy ping pong ball. Hopefully, soon, I will beat them both.


On Saturday and Sunday September 12 and 13 at Ehden Country Club, the newly appointed Senior Secretariat Boards of Global Classrooms Lebanese American University Model United Nations (GC LAU MUN) and Lebanese American University Model Arab League (LAU MAL) programs were gathered by the Outreach and Civil Engagement (OCE) unit to plan an exceptional experience for this year's participating delegates under the supervision of the Program Director, Prof. Elie Samia and the Program Coordinator, Ms. Ghina Harb.
This weekend's aim was to finalize preparations for all teams in terms of required material for all the programs' sections, from registration, to inauguration, to training sessions, to final conference, and to closing ceremonies. Everything was made to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of this year's program from all aspects ahead of time.
Each Director and Assistant director meticulously chose the criteria of acceptance to their team with the preparation of interview questions and training camp tasks and activities to assure the delegates a qualified and efficient secretariat at their service.
Then, the different teams (Public Information, Public Relation, School Relations, Logistics and Operations, and Training and Educational Development) updated their databases, organized the classes and prepared the inauguration ceremony and training sessions.
GC LAU MUN and LAU MAL are the strongest leadership youth programs in Lebanon and the Middle East, with LAU being their official holder in the Middle East, since 2005 and 2011 respectively.
The programs educate students from all over the country on diplomacy, public speaking, negotiation, conflict resolution, amongst other skills. At the end of the program, the delegates step into the shoes of ambassadors in the United Nations and the Arab League respectively and take the committees' negotiation tables to discuss current topics, during a two-day final conference. The conference for the LAU MUN is on March 19 and 20, 2015. The conference for the LAU MAL is on March 12 and 13, 2015.
This weekend is the first ever Senior Secretariat Board Workshop Weekend to be held and has only strengthened the program as every aspect of it was planned and reviewed by our SSB student leaders, under the direct supervision of our coordinator Ms. Ghina Harb and in the direction of our Director's word and values, Prof. Elie Samia.

Costa Rica plane crash
Costa Rica plane crash 01:04
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica -- A plane carrying 10 U.S. citizens and two local residents crashed in a wooded area, killing everyone on board Sunday, Costa Rican authorities said Sunday. The Public Safety Ministry posted images and video of the crash site on Facebook showing burning wreckage of the plane in Guanacaste, northwest Costa Rica.
A statement from the ministry said 10 foreign passengers and two Costa Rican crew members were aboard the plane belonging to Nature Air. It said the plane had taken off nearby. Authorities did not immediately release the names of the victims.
N.Y. family among the dead in Costa Rica plane crash
A U.S. State Department spokesperson confirmed that multiple U.S. citizens died in the crash. "We express our condolences to all those affected by this tragedy. We are in contact with Costa Rican aviation authorities and will continue to monitor the situation," the spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News.
Former Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla said on Twitter that her cousin was one of the victims killed in the crash.

At a news conference, Enio Cubillo, director of Costa Rica Civil Aviation, said the Nature Air charter flight took off just after noon Sunday from Punta Islita and was headed for the capital of San Jose when it crashed.
Cubillo said the cause was under investigation.
He identified the pilot as Juan Manuel Retana and described him as very experienced. Former Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla said via Twitter that Retana was her cousin.
The same plane had arrived in Punta Islita on Sunday morning from San Jose and was delayed in landing by strong winds, Cubillo said.
Nature Air did not respond to phone and email messages.

BOXING: West remains optimistic despite lack of…
BOXING: West remains optimistic despite lack of willing fighters
Moreno Valley Resident Kaliesha West trains for her next bout.

By David A Avila | Press-Enterprise
June 28, 2016 at 3:01 p.m.
Many consider Moreno Valley's Kaliesha West one of the best female boxers, but that's not always a good thing.
Whenever West seeks a fight, opponents seem to run in another direction.
West, a world champion in the bantamweight and super bantamweight division, was scheduled to fight Saturday in Aguascalientes, Mexico, but the promoter called her last Saturday to tell her it was off.
"The promoter said a family emergency came up," said West of her latest fight cancellation.
It's typical in the female boxing world where elite fighters such as West are widely avoided by opponents who decide to cancel for various reasons.
Ever since West first began boxing professionally in 2006, she's experienced competitors unwilling to face her in the ring. The reasons are many, including lack of confidence, fear, or not wanting to risk an undefeated record. There are other problems too.
American promoters are simply unwilling to stage female fights, especially on televised fight cards. They prefer to spend the money given to them by networks on male fighters only. It's a problem females have experienced for the past 20 years.
Meanwhile, female boxing has exploded in other countries such as Mexico, Argentina, Japan and Germany. Almost every week in Mexico, female bouts are the main events and televised throughout their respective countries.
"Fighting in Mexico has been one of the most beautiful experiences in my entire career. The amount of respect the capital of boxing, Mexico, has for women is unbelievable. They greet and treat female fighters with no stereotype," said West, 28, who fought in Mexico three times and each fight was televised. "If a woman is a champion, they will be treated like one, no different from the men. We are embraced, and female boxing is very popular in Mexico."
American female fighter's plight
West is not alone when it comes to difficulties in obtaining fights in the U.S. Other top flight females suffer a similar existence.
Layla McCarter, the multiple champion whose family lives in Riverside, has been in search of a showdown with Norway's Cecilia Braekhus. Both female fighters are considered the top two female boxers in the world and fight in the same 147-pound weight class.
McCarter has no hesitation in seeking to prove her superiority against Braekhus and settle the question of who is pound-for-pound the best female fighter. Negotiations have been ongoing but money seems to be the roadblock.
"We have spoken to Cecilia Braekhus' promoter but haven't been able to get a deal done," said McCarter who lives and trains in Las Vegas. "Hopefully we'll get it done."
This week, McCarter was given a huge assist by current male WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, who demanded that the female boxer be put on his next fight card on July 16, when he faces Riverside's Chris Arreola. That fight card takes place in Wilder's native Alabama.
McCarter last fought in April when she knocked out Yolanda Segura in less than a minute in Mexico City.
"Layla doesn't care who she fights or where," said her trainer and manager Luis Tapia. "She fought in five countries against undefeated girls and beat them all."
McCarter and West both have been forced to fight overseas. It's a problem they share with other top American female fighters. Meanwhile, American men seldom fight overseas. Floyd Mayweather never fought outside of the U.S.
Despite the lack of support by American promoters and opponents willing to fight her, West still maintains optimism.
"The journey was long and will have been 20 years by the time it's over. I just want to make sure I leave with a bang," said West who plans to retire in two years. "Money is not a big concern for me. I fight for the love of boxing."
Fight Chatter
• Erick Ituarte (14-1-1) of Santa Ana survived two knockdowns to rally and defeat Tijuana's Daniel Ramirez (11-4) by unanimous decision. It was a fierce fight that featured three knockdowns in eight rounds in a featherweight clash at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario. Also, undefeated heavyweight LaRon Mitchell (13-0, 13 KOs) knocked out Colombia's Epifanio Mendoza (42-23-1, 36 KOs) with a blow to the liver at 52 seconds of the third round on Friday.
• Heather Hardy (17-0) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision over Kirstie Simmons (8-2) after eight rounds of a super bantamweight fight at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Hardy, 34, sold more than $30,000 in ticket sales and has fought seven times at the sports arena.
• Undefeated Oscar Negrete (13-0) faces Jose Bustos (11-6-3) in the main event at popular Belasco Theater in downtown L.A. on Friday.

Chapter 99 Strongest Sage, Suggests Weapon Change
"Oo...ops!"
Iris swung her sword while shouting.
I block that with one hand and immediately parry it to the side.
At the same time, I catch an arrow coming from behind with my other hand and throw it away.
"The way you're swinging your sword is still the same as usual but your stance has gotten quite stable."
An hour passed since the start of training.
The way she swings her sword is still as bad as always, probably because the way to use a sword is different from dragon's claws, but it seems that she's gotten quite accustomed to human legs.
At the very least, she doesn't fall over small bumps now.
"Yes! I've figured out the trick not to fall down!"
Since Iris is originally a dragon that fights in mid-air at high speed, her reflexes are considerably excellent.
Once she knows how to regain her posture, there's no chance of her falling.
"Hold it there Mathi-kun! The arrows won't hit if you move around!"
Looks like Alma really has a hard time hitting her arrow on a moving target.
There's only three arrows stuck on the crab shell on top of my head.
"All of them will hit if I don't move, there's no point then!"
Most of the arrows didn't hit because I was moving around on this bumpy site, if I wasn't, Alma could hit even a target 1/20 of this size.
I see that she's gotten quite used to using 【Guided Enchant】 to hit moving targets, she should be fine now.
"But handling a sword is really difficult isn't it..."
Iris swings her sword once again.
Her control is questionable like usual, and the blade handling is bad, but the power is tremendous.
It might be a good idea to let Iris use another weapon besides a sword.
To begin with, swords can't take too strong of power, so even if Iris manages to swing a sword properly, I have a feeling that the sword won't be able to endure it.
...Let's try that for a bit.
"You two, stop for now! And gather here!"
"Gotcha!"
"What are we going to do?"
I gathered the three.
"I'm thinking of changing Iris's weapon. The material is... this should be fine."
I took out a huge lump of iron from Storage magic.
It's a by product of mithril mining in the dungeon. The weight is about 20kg.
I broke that apart, processed it with magic and stretched it into a long cylinder shape.
It doesn't need to be that precise, so I've done all the jobs besides the magic augmenting.
"Is that... a spear?"
Ruli looks at the metal bar I made.
"Yeah. It's a bit different from your usual spear though."
Unlike the common spear, the tip of the spear I created is blunt.
I've rounded it up since it won't be able to stand Iris's strength otherwise.
"Now then, I'm counting on you to augment this. Just 【Toughening】 will do."
"I understand. Please let me see it!"
Ruli put out her hands to receive the spear.
"...Since it's heavy, I think it's better if I stick it on the ground, and then you augment it."
I stick the spear's tip on the ground and hand it over to Ruli.
You don't normally treat a spear like this, but this spear was made with the assumption that it'd be treated roughly, so there's no problem here.
"Got it!"
Ruli quickly finished the augment while supporting the spear.
And then she tries to take it with one hand to give it to Iris--
"I-it's heavy! I can't lift it!"
And failed at it.
Well, it's impossible with one hand.
It's a lump of iron nearly 20 kg heavy.
"It's a condensed lump of iron to the inside.... What do you think Iris?"
"It doesn't really feel that heavy.... Or rather, I think it's easier to use than a sword!"
Iris lifted the spear and brandished it with one hand.
"Try to pierce this with that."
I molded a plank from the remaining iron ingot from earlier and stuck it on the ground.
It's about 5 cm thick.
By the way, the thickness of an average shield in this world is 1 cm.
"Yes!"
Iris took a stance with the spear around her waist and thrust at the plank.
And then, boom! With that explosion-like sound, splinters of the plank that had been broken into pieces flew out far away.
....Looks like it's a success.

Q: Grails 4.0 cannot save Domain to DB i am not very familiar with grails but this case is strange to me.
I have create Domain object name Product and wanted to save some basic data in Bootstrap.groovy but product.save() is not saved in my DB.
When i try to get all product with Product.getAll() i get empty array.
But when i scaffolded everything for this domain object grails use ProductService in order to perform save operation and they are visible in DB
Am i doing something wrong or Save with Product.save() is not supported?
class Product {
    UUID id
    String name

    static constraints = {
    }

    static mapping = {
        id generator : 'uuid2', type: 'pg-uuid' // pg-uuid because I use postgresql
    }
}

class BootStrap {

    def init = { servletContext ->

        def product = new Product(name: 'Launch day 1')
        product.save()

        def product1 = new Product(name: 'Launch day 2')
        product1.save()
        def product2 = new Product(name: 'Launch day 3')
        product2.save()
    }
    def destroy = {
    }
}

@Service(Product)
interface ProductService {

    Product get(Serializable id)

    List<Product> list(Map args)

    Long count()

A: Hibernate 5.2+ requires transactions for write & read operations.
Wrap your saves in a transaction by using the ProductService you created - eg productService.save(product1)
Other ways you can ensure it's in a transaction are by using either @Transactional on the method or Product.withTransaction { }

A Material Ecology Exhibition at the MoMA
Neri Oxman, designer and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, coined the term "material ecology" to describe techniques and objects that are informed by, and directly engage with, the structures, systems, and aesthetics of nature. An exclusive exhibition of artwork that explores Oxman's ideas is now running at The Museum of Modern Art. Be sure to make the short trip from the Midtown condos at The Centrale to marvel in it. Then, reflect on what you've seen over lunch at a true New York landmark.
Neri Oxman's art is like no other. Her works are stunning composites of biology, design, computing, and engineering. The pieces she creates are surreal but also somehow familiar, largely because of their roots in the natural world. You may already know of her stunning "wearable structures," that is, a series of 3D-printed "skins," and her mysteriously fascinating "death masks." She also founded the Mediated Matter Group, which, among other things, has designed and fabricated an eerily organic five-meter-tall structure — it looks a bit like a chrysalis for some gigantic alien butterfly — using components found in tree branches, insect exoskeletons, and bones.
Oxman's work has been seen across the world, from the Pompidou Centre in Paris to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. And from now until May 25, her work finds a home at Midtown's MoMA. Here, Oxman has produced seven "demos" — objects and structures that are designed as if they were grown by Mother Nature herself. They herald a melding of biology, architecture, engineering, and design. And, according to Oxman, the materials and processes involved in making them may one day be harnessed by designers and architects.
The Lunch
After spending time contemplating unique artworks in the gallery, it's time to take your thoughts to another stimulating New York institution. The 21 Club sits conveniently behind MoMA, offering up a luxury dining spot where you and your art-loving friends can convene for cocktails or a fabulous meal. You can hardly miss this historic venue where Ernest Hemingway once sank margaritas: Its entrance is flanked by 33 models of jockeys, all in colorful outfits.
The 21 Club's low-lit Bar Room is festooned with sports memorabilia, gifted by world-famous athletes. (And yes, that broken tennis racket did belong to John McEnroe.) But assuming you're here for lunch, make your way to Bar '21' & Lounge, where sumptuous leather banquettes, gilt-frame paintings, and an exquisite bar menu await. Start with one of the bar's flagship dirty martinis, and chat with your fellow art aficionados about what you've just experienced. The conversation will almost certainly be curtailed when the food arrives. Allow us to recommend the jumbo shrimp cocktail and the "Speakeasy" steak tartare with quail egg and potato crisps. Much like the 21 Club itself, these dishes are artworks in their own right.

Chicken and Bacon. Need I say more? Okay, I'll say corn, too.
It actually started with a bag of creamed corn that I found in the freezer.
Oh, yeah. You see it. There's bacon in there. My recipe for Creamed Corn is in the "Recipes" section.
Now, if you don't have a garden, you can purchase fresh picked corn from the local Farmer's Market. There's a very short period of time when corn is at it's peak of flavor. So make sure it's fresh.
We love to eat fresh produce from our garden.
We usually harvest about 200 ears of corn from our crop. So, since my husband and I can't possibly eat it on the cob fast enough, I cream most of it, cook it a little, and put in the freezer to be enjoyed throughout the year.
Well, I thought my stash of creamed corn was long gone. But, when I spied that last precious bag of golden deliciousness in the freezer, yeah, I broke into my happy dance!
I knew the vegetable side dish we were going to enjoy that evening, but what about the protein?
There they were. Chicken thighs. Just waiting to be prepared and compliment the creamed corn. My mind was swimming with the possibilities.
The thighs were skinless and boneless, so I had to come up with a plan to keep them moist.

2021 and Pakistan: indomitable Resolve Continues
White and Green Salute
In a bid to intimidate her newly born neighbour, India crossed the international border into Pakistan on the western front declaring the beginning of the war in September 1965, reaffirming her incendiary approach and limpid hegemonic ambitions in the region. In the village of Barki in Lahore, an attempt was made to cross the BRB canal besides Kashmir and other sectors while launching an offensive aimed at defeating Pakistan. However, Pakistan's Armed Forces rose to the challenge following the sudden Indian thrust and held the bridges over the canal and stood firm defending every inch of the Pakistani territory.
Several days into the misbegotten venture, the tide shifted and the Indian Army and Air Force, severely mauled as it was after suffering huge losses, started showing signs of demoralization. The Pakistani forces showed resilience and determination to set aside the numerical strength of the Indian Army and gradually turned the tables on its adversary with effective counter-strikes to repulse the attack and defended its territory till it proved decisive and ceasefire came into effect.
India's preposterous counsel and meager imagination led her to underestimate the genuine potential and strength of our Armed Forces, which was extraordinary and barely tapped yet, for a newly born country that had yet to establish itself. Of such miscalculations and impulsiveness this war was made. Yet there laid a major victory as it bolstered the verisimilitude of the Army to realize its strength and for the nation realizing its need to stand united against the enemy.
The times have changed but not the spirits. Pakistan Army is facing all its internal and external enemies with same gusto, resilience and spirits second-to-none. Besides being fully prepared to meet the external threats, on internal front the war against terrorism is being fought and won in all battle zones. Combing Operations, a joint civil-military counter-terrorism operation, along with IBOs to root out militants across entire Pakistan are being spearheaded by the Army. Operation Khyber-III, launched on August 16, is targeting terrorists holed up beyond Tirah Valley on the Pak-Afghan border. The emphasis of this kinetic operation is rooting out their leftover safe havens and the network of facilitators.
Pakistan has learnt various tactical lessons of war against terrorism over the years. These moves implemented at the most opportune times would keep a lid on militancy across the board without any discrimination while whittling them down to irrelevancy, drastically weakening the capacity of Taliban and their affiliates to strike back with force. The offensive is a part of Pakistan's efforts to ensure a comprehensive and well-functioning border management system to check infiltration of terrorists who commute between Pakistan and neighbouring Afghanistan.
In an endeavour to seek enduring peace and goodwill in the region, new deployments and structures are being made to improve border management along with stringent measures for the surveillance of all cross-border movement indiscriminately. Strengthening the border mechanism would prove vital to take the ongoing fight against terrorism to a logical end. But it necessitates both sustained effort and significant cooperation from Afghanistan government in identifying and rooting out disruptive elements. Afghanistan cannot sit back and hope that the game would change magically bringing about an end to the disrupted behaviour of unsavory foes.
Any attempt to jeopardize Pakistan's national security or to push matters to extremities would be thwarted by Pakistan Army and the nation as one. Pakistan is not a nation that is terrified of the enemy but a body politic that has and would cast off the dastardly antagonism in this locus of time, the times bygone and the times to come. We salute every martyr and veteran who defeated our enemy in 1965 and who are still fighting the war against the religiously misguided enemies.
September 6, 1965 shall always remain alive in the history of Pakistan as the white and green salute from the motherland to the brave sons of the soil whose selfless sacrifices removed the existential threat and gave the Muslims and religious minorities of Pakistan a chance for peace and prosperity, for progress and for light and knowledge.

Living With Uveitis
A collection of sources and information
A little over 12 years ago, I noticed something was "off" with my vision. The next several years were spent bouncing from doctor to doctor trying to figure out why my optic nerve was hemorrhaging and a blind spot was developing in my right eye. Eventually, I was put on high doses of prednisone, among other immunosuppressants, to try to control the inflammation. By 2013 my left eye was also affected. I started receiving intravitreal injections in 2014 before the birth of my first son. My official diagnosis is bilateral multifocal choroiditis with subretinal fibrosis.
Throughout my journey, I've alternated between spending hours researching (desperately grasping for a "why') and burying my head in the sand (if I don't acknowledge it, maybe it will go away). I've tried everything my doctors and I can think of, from immunosuppressants and the Retisert implant, to elimination diets and yoga. My condition is the definition chronic.
I'm still getting injections these days and complications from all of the treatments persist. (I've had a handful of surgeries for complications including cataracts and glaucoma.) Although tenacious, the inflammation does respond to treatment and I am in caring and capable hands at the University of Washington Eye Institute in Seattle, WA for which I am very grateful.
This website is my attempt to document thoughts and information I've gathered, learn something and hopefully help others. It's a place to focus on the disease and then leave it so I can live my life, taking only what serves me.
See the Good. Even if you have to Squint.

Mourners attend a memorial service in honour of Winnie Madikizela-Mandelain the OR Tambo Hall, Khayelitsha, on Monday 9 April, 2018.
South Africans sure know how to paint a room. They come dressed both for battle and for play in ANC-branded high heels and head-to-toe red EFF overalls. Even the DA has noticed that it's time to jump on the brand wagon.
In SA, political dress redefines democracy from its Western counterparts where boring suits and ties rule the show. Moreover, South Africa's politicised wardrobe could teach an important lesson to the splintered politics of my home country, the United States.
Political clothing in South Africa doesn't merely exist – it persists through political scandal, outlives politicians' careers, and is available in any cut, size, and style you can dream of.
For visitors like myself, hailing from democracies with comparable electoral systems, the ample visibility of politicised clothing comes as a shock. These are not the freebie T-shirt handouts I'm used to. Here, I've seen the ANC logo emblazoned on to sports jackets, glitzy handbags and flip flops. EFF supporters are known by their headpiece, the "red berets".
American political clothing, in comparison, falls short. Back in the US, a simple red baseball cap with four infamous words stitched across it have made the biggest political fashion splash that my home continent has ever seen. A baseball hat, of all things! Perhaps relatable to Donald Trump's working-class following, but, objectively, it's been done before; the Make America Great Again (MAGA) hats are, literally, old hat.
Even more telling is that now, as Trump sits almost half-way through his term, many of the manufacturers and distributors that partnered with him to produce Trump-branded items have backed out. If the "Sale!" label on Trump cologne is any indication, US political merchandise trends directly reflect the popularity of the individual in office – and a bad whiff has followed Trump into the White House.
Yet in South Africa, political clothing seems to represent a permanent, collective fan club of a particular party. It's a kind of "rep your brand" that endures state-captured presidents and can be passed down from generation to generation. The long lifespan of South African political clothes isn't just a result of trendiness, but also of relevance. Here, most political clothing doesn't merely support a candidate, but rather advertises the party as an entirety.
At the ANC memorial for Winnie Madikizela-Mandela that I attended in Khayelitsha earlier this month, ANC Youth League member Mika Mahlaule lingered by the merchandise table.
Mahluale was, like all those around him, dressed in a dapper ANC-themed ensemble punctuated by a smart button-up with hints of green, black, and gold. His outfit simultaneously advertised his political allegiances and his fashionable taste.
"By linking clothes to fashion and making (ANC clothes) something you can wear to a party or to the club, you show people what party you're with and people can identify with you," Mahluale said.
Sure, American students will still occasionally wear a "feel the Bern" Bernie 2016 T-shirt to the local campus pub and Trump supporters like to take out their MAGA hats at trendy liberal hot spots to cause a stir. But American political clothing has lacked any trend-setting ability that lasts beyond a candidate's campaign or term. After all, US political clothing is almost always emblazoned with the name, slogan, and logo of an individual candidate so party affiliation can only be gleaned by discreet colour choices or symbolism. As a result, the clothing becomes irrelevant once the candidate does.
Furthermore, while the ANC's colours – black, green, and gold – have distinct meanings relevant to the South African people and the EFF's red marks a proud association with the political left, American party colours stem from a particularly arbitrary decision: When television networks began displaying American election results through colour-coded red and blue maps, the trend quickly caught on within the parties themselves.
This contrast between South African and American political marketing is not just a cultural intrigue – it's the manifestation of incredibly different paths to current democracy.
The only major South African party whose fashion choices resemble those of American politics is the historically white DA. Some have even alleged that the DA has gone too far in mimicking American political campaigns, pointing to the uncanny resemblance between the DA's "Vote for Change" slogan and Barrack Obama's 2008 "Change We Can Believe In" campaign.
In the run-up to the next election parties are likely to go into brand overdrive to win political support. Expect to see specially-branded ANC breakfasts hit the shelves – anyone for a bowl of Cereal Ramaphosa?
Back at my home, the only political merchandise I have ever owned was a pennant from Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign. It was the first election that I was old enough to vote in and my mom had ordered me the pennant so I could advertise my commitment to the cause.
But the irony of the pennant was that it only arrived after Clinton had already lost. I came home one evening to find the pennant sitting on my bed, a sad reminder of a dream that my mom and I had once both shared and both lost.
I quickly stuffed the pennant away. Now, as I'm struck by the visible communality advertised through South Africans' political clothing, I think back to its dark blue hue and pleasing cursive script. In many ways, that pennant represents the contrast between a young democracy which has thoughtfully moulded itself for its people, and an old one which has forced itself, often thoughtlessly, upon them.
The pennant's only meaningful reference to Clinton's party, the Democrats, was in the background pattern of small white donkeys walking one behind another. The donkey symbolism comes from Democrat Andrew Jackson's 1828 presidential campaign. His opponent called him a "jackass" and the name stuck.
Ah, yes, political branding rooted in name calling. There's nothing more American than that.

Greater Noida: 'No Registry, No Vote' campaign garners more resident votes
Around 50,000 home buyers in GreNo West are struggling to get registry papers of their flats
Posted : December 17, 2021
Greater Noida: The pending registry of homebuyers in the highrise societies of Greater Noida has become an issue that is affecting residents living in multiple housing societies. Every weekend, residents from different societies protest against the builders on the roads demanding registry papers of their respective flats.
Purchasing a home in a highrise society is a lifetime commitment and thus the residents hope to get what they pay for. Around 50,000 home buyers from 85 societies in Greater Noida West are struggling to get the registry papers of their flats. Now, the residents are saying if their issues are not resolved, they would not vote in the upcoming UP assembly elections.
Residents of Supertech Ecovillage 1, 2 and 3 have started a 'No Registry, No Vote' campaign under the banner of the Noida Extension Flat Owners Welfare Association (NEFOWA) because of the pending registry. Now many other housing societies are joining in the campaign.
Sumil Jalota (38), a resident of La Residetia says, "In last 10 years, three governments have been in power but all have neglected the main issue of this region which is the pending registry. As per the law, possession means that we have registry papers and now we are the owners of our flats but it is never implemented. Residents of many societies in Greater Noda are struggling for the last 12 years. I booked my flat in 2011 and for the last three years, I am struggling to get my registry papers."

Almost 320 homebuyers in Panchsheel Hynish from tower 11 and tower 12 are struggling to get their registry papers. On this subject, Himanshu Gautam(32), a resident of the society says, "Builder gave us possession in February 2021 and he promised that the registry will be done within 2 months and he forced us to submit the number of registry papers. We paid the full amount. It has been more than 10 months, still, we are struggling to get the registry papers. Now, the builder is asking us to go to the Authority. We don't have a choice but support this "No registry No vote campaign'."
Mihir Gautam(40), a resident of Ecovillage 2 says, "The protest will take place every weekend under the 'No Vote, No registry' campaign. It's been more than four years and I am still not the owner of my own house as its registry is still pending."
Akhileshwar, a resident of Panchsheel Pinnacle says, "About 500 residents are struggling to get the registry papers in our society. We are supporting this campaign, residents do not have any other choice."
The support for 'No registry No vote' campaign is growing among the area residents with each passing day. The residents of other societies have also come in the support of the 'No Registry, No Vote' campaign to demand basic amenities.
Abhishek Kumar, NEFOWA president says, "This campaign is not only for those who are struggling for their registry paper but also for those residents who are struggling to get basic amenities in the society. If the situation will remain the same, we will continue the protest."
Hemant Singh, a resident of Elegant Villa says, "The registry is the second thing, the residents of our society is struggling to get the basic amenities in the society. The lift is not working properly. About 150 residents live in the society. Residents don't have another choice, no one will vote if the condition will be the same in future."

EFF Victory Results in Release of Secret Court Opinion Finding NSA Surveillance Unconstitutional
By Mark Rumold
Update: In response to EFF's FOIA lawsuit, the government has released the 2011 FISA court opinion ruling some NSA surveillance unconstitutional.
For over a year, EFF has been fighting the government in federal court to force the public release of an 86-page opinion of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). Issued in October 2011, the secret court's opinion found that surveillance conducted by the NSA under the FISA Amendments Act was unconstitutional and violated "the spirit of" federal law.
Today, EFF can declare victory: a federal court ordered the government to release records in our litigation, the government has indicated it intends to release the opinion today, and ODNI has called a 3:00 ET press conference to discuss "issues" with FISA Amendments Act surveillance, which we assume will include a discussion of the opinion.
It remains to be seen how much of the opinion the government will actually make available to the public. President Obama has repeatedly said he welcomes a debate on the NSA's surveillance: disclosing this opinion—and releasing enough of it so that citizens and advocates can intelligently debate the constitutional violation that occurred—is a critical step in ensuring that an informed debate takes place.
Here are examples of documents previously released by the administration in response to our Freedom of Information Act request. Anything even resembling those "releases" would be utterly unacceptable today. But we've come a long way since then—it took filing a lawsuit; litigating (and winning) in the FISC itself; the unprecedented public release of information about NSA surveillance activities; and our continuing efforts to push the government in the district court for release of the opinion.
Release of the opinion today is just one step in advancing a public debate on the scope and legality of the NSA's domestic surveillance programs. EFF will keep fighting until the NSA's domestic surveillance program is reined in, federal surveillance laws are amended to prevent these kinds of abuse from happening in the future, and government officials are held accountable for their actions.

Q: Managed Client Object Model in Event Receiver - Event is not firing at all When I use ClientContext context = new ClientContext("SITEURL"); in my event receiver, the event doesn't trigger at all.
So my question is can I use managed client object model in event receivers.
When doc created event occurs, I want to copy the document from the document library to a new doc library in a new farm using managed client object model. is this possible or do I have to use ECMA.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

A: I was working on sandbox solution, and didn't realize sandbox solutions have limitations.
When I tried as farm solution, managed object model works just fine in event receiver.
for more info http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee536577.aspx
thanks for the reply guys.

A: You can accomplish this using WebClient PUT. In this example filePath represents the path to the file in question. And fileName was taken from properties.ListItem.File.Name.
When I did this I downloaded the file to the local file system and then deleted it after the operation succeeded. There might be a more efficient way to do that, but it worked fine given my requirements. The users creating the documents in question did not have access to the remote farm.
string _userName = "remoteUserName";
string _password = "SuperSecurePassword";
string _domain = "domain";
remoteFileURL = "http://www.domain.com/LibraryPath/" + fileName;

WebClient webclient = new WebClient();
webclient.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(_userName, _password, _domain);
webclient.UploadFile(remoteFileURL, "PUT", filePath);
webclient.Dispose();

Fault and fracture patterns around a strike-slip influenced salt wall
G. I. Alsop, R. Weinberger, S. Marco, T. Levi
The trends of faults and fractures in overburden next to a salt diapir are generally considered to be either parallel to the salt margin to form concentric patterns, or at right angles to the salt contact to create an overall radial distribution around the diapir. However, these simple diapir-related patterns may become more complex if regional tectonics influences the siting and growth of a diapir. Using the Sedom salt wall in the Dead Sea Fault system as our case study, we examine the influence of regional strike-slip faulting on fracture patterns around a salt diapir. This type of influence is important in general as the distribution and orientation of fractures on all scales may influence permeability and hence control fluid and hydrocarbon flow. Fractures adjacent to the N-S trending salt wall contain fibrous gypsum veins and injected clastic dykes, attesting to high fluid pressures adjacent to the diapir.

While some extensional faults display growth geometries, indicating that they were syn-depositional and initiated prior to tilting of beds associated with drape folding, other fractures display increasing dips towards the salt, suggesting that they have formed during upturn of bedding near the diapir. These observations collectively suggest that many fractures developed to accommodate rotation of beds during drape folding. Extensional fractures in the overburden define a mean strike that is ∼45° anticlockwise (counter-clockwise) of the N-S trending salt wall, and are therefore consistent with sinistral transtension along the N-S trending Sedom Fault that underlies the salt wall. Our outcrop analysis reveals fracture geometries that are related to both tilting of beds during drape folding, and regional strike-slip tectonics. The presence of faults and fractures that interact with drape folds suggests that deformation in overburden next to salt cannot be simply pigeon-holed into 'end-member' scenarios of purely brittle faulting or viscous flow.

Group of college football fanatics living on South Bay billboard down to two
By Amanda del Castillo
SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- The group of college football super fans living on a billboard in Downtown San Jose is now down to two.
The College Football Playoff Semi-Final games were played Saturday afternoon, and the fans representing the two losing teams were sent back home.
LIVE WatchESPN: College football superfans live atop ESPN billboard in San Jose
Crews will have to update the billboard at South Almaden Boulevard and Park Avenue to reflect the Clemson Tigers and Alabama Sooners.
The two teams going head-to-head for the third time in a College Football Playoff National Championship game.
On Saturday, the once in a lifetime camping trip came to an end for Notre Dame's Jeanette Kim, and Oklahoma's Ruben Hunter.
For Kim, her Fighting Irish didn't have much fight in them, losing to Clemson 30-3.

Kim told ABC7 News, "I'm pretty disappointed. I mean, I wish I could say the Irish left it all out on the field, but I think we under-performed today. We could've put up a better fight."
Ruben Hunter ended the night, descending from the 40-foot-long billboard he and the group have called home for the last few days. Too soon for the Sooner.
Oklahoma lost of Alabama, 45-34.
"Gosh, I really wish we just had another start to the game," Hunter said. "But it's been fun, this whole billboard experience."
Hunter's reaction is proof it hasn't been all bad news for he and Kim.
RELATED: No. 1 Alabama beats No. 4 Oklahoma 45-34 to reach title game
The pair was part of a group, picked by ABC7 News sister network, ESPN. The gour beat out a pool of roughly 700 people for the opportunity to participate in the unique experience. The group's activity is live streaming on ESPN3.
For the remaining two, Clemson's Nancy Volland and Alabam's Llyas Ross, 45-feet above chilly downtown San Jose is where they'll live until Monday, January 7th.
"I actually looked at the weather for next week, and it's going to be the same thing," Volland told ABC7 News about the cold weather. "So, I kind of just psyched myself up, that this is the way it's going to be."
Meantime, Volland and Ross will stay atop the billboard until their teams go head-to-head in the College Football Playoff National Championship game at Levi's Stadium. This will make the third time in four years the two schools will meet for the title.
Ross predicts, "It's going to be a close and fun game I feel, but I feel we're going to pull it out this year again."

So, we have ourselves a rubber match!
How to watch:
The challenge will end on January 7, which will coincide with the National Championship Game at Levi's Stadium.
You can stream the entire experience on the WatchESPN website and app.

Q: PySpark: How to Read Many JSON Files, Multiple Records Per File I have a large dataset stored in a S3 bucket, but instead of being a single large file, it's composed of many (113K to be exact) individual JSON files, each of which contains 100-1000 observations. These observations aren't on the highest level, but require some navigation within each JSON to access.
i.e.
json["interactions"] is a list of dictionaries.
I'm trying to utilize Spark/PySpark (version 1.1.1)  to parse through and reduce this data, but I can't figure out the right way to load it into an RDD, because it's neither all records > one file (in which case I'd use sc.textFile, though added complication here of JSON) nor each record > one file (in which case I'd use sc.wholeTextFiles).
Is my best option to use sc.wholeTextFiles and then use a map (or in this case flatMap?) to pull the multiple observations from being stored under a single filename key to their own key? Or is there an easier way to do this that I'm missing?
I've seen answers here that suggest just using json.loads() on all files loaded via sc.textFile, but it doesn't seem like that would work for me because the JSONs aren't simple highest-level lists.

A: What about using DataFrames?
does
testFrame = sqlContext.read.json('s3n://<bucket>/<key>')
give you what you want from one file?
Does every observation have the same "columns" (# of keys)?
If so you could use boto to list each object you want to add, read them in and union them with each other.
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext
import boto3
from pyspark.sql.types import *
sqlContext = SQLContext(sc)

s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
bucket = s3.Bucket('<bucket>')

aws_secret_access_key = '<secret>'
aws_access_key_id = '<key>'

#Configure spark with your S3 access keys
sc._jsc.hadoopConfiguration().set("fs.s3n.awsAccessKeyId", aws_access_key_id)
sc._jsc.hadoopConfiguration().set("fs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey", aws_secret_access_key)
object_list = [k for k in bucket.objects.all() ]
key_list = [k.key for k in bucket.objects.all()]

paths = ['s3n://'+o.bucket_name+'/'+ o.key for o in object_list ]

dataframes = [sqlContext.read.json(path) for path in paths]

df = dataframes[0]
for idx, frame in enumerate(dataframes):
    df = df.unionAll(frame)

I'm new to spark myself so I'm wondering if there's a better way to use dataframes with a lot of s3 files, but so far this is working for me.

A: The name is misleading (because it's singular), but sparkContext.textFile() (at least in the Scala case) also accepts a directory name or a wildcard path, so you just be able to say textFile("/my/dir/*.json").

A: The previous answers are not going to read the files in a distributed fashion (see reference). To do so, you would need to parallelize the s3 keys and then read in the files during a flatMap step like below.
import boto3
import json
from pyspark.sql import Row

def distributedJsonRead(s3Key):
    s3obj = boto3.resource('s3').Object(bucket_name='bucketName', key=s3Key)
    contents = json.loads(s3obj.get()['Body'].read().decode('utf-8'))
    for dicts in content['interactions']
        yield Row(**dicts)

pkeys = sc.parallelize(keyList) #keyList is a list of s3 keys
dataRdd = pkeys.flatMap(distributedJsonRead)

The U Awards! What can I say about this "non-wedding?' When Kim reached out about photographing an awards event to celebrate her marriage to Ryan, I was intrigued. The two had been married in a small ceremony on the beach, but wanted to throw a big party to acknowledge the people who have poured into their lives. The red carpet event was produced professionally by the couple, (who work in television and film production for a living). Complete with videos, trophies, live music, multiple dress changes for Kim, an open bar, and pint sized security guards, this alternative reception felt like it was straight out of the Oscars. The evening was concluded with an after party at the B.O.B. where an even larger group of friends and family danced the night away.

The Roman fort and settlement of Vindolanda
The Roman empire was based on two things: lip service to the emperor, and payment to the army. As long as you acknowledged the imperial cult and paid your taxes, Rome did not really care how you lived your life.
In one respect, there were very few 'Romans' in Britain. There were Batavians, Thracians, Mauretanians, Sarmatians: all brought in through service in the army, and all eventually granted citizenship and a packet of land after their 25 years' service. They settled all over Britain, becoming naturalised British citizens of the Roman Empire, erecting a wealth of inscriptions which attest to their assimilation and prosperity. Most of them settled in or near the fort where they had served, staying close to their friends. Gradually, these urban settlements outside the fort grew into townships, which were eventually granted municipal status. In certain cases, such as Colchester ('the Colonia by the camp'), the city was an official colony of veteran soldiers imposed upon the local population; but usually the evolution was more generic. Chester (or 'the camp') is an example of this. Standing on the city walls, you can still look down upon the remains of the amphitheatre that stood outside the military camp. In this way, the army acted as the natural force of assimilation.
The evidence for what life was like in these places has largely been eradicated by the cities' urban sprawl, but in more remote areas, like at Vindolanda up on Hadrian's Wall, you can still see just what the original Roman settlement looked like....

For many, the next phase of computing involving dynamic cloud processing symbolizes nothing more than a place to store old smartphone photos, tax documents, and college reports perhaps mixed with an occasional voice query of the internet. Where businesses and large enterprises have been chided for their pace of consumer-facing trends of adoptions, they are using the cloud at a much more sophisticated level.
Clearing the regulatory bar, Microsoft has now been given the green light to become the public cloud and back-end support for the eHealth agenda in New Zealand.
For Microsoft's part, the company is pleased to offer its cloud platform for health care to the area.
As with many cloud-based solutions, the Ministry of Health's decision to use Microsoft's Cloud comes with its set of benefits beyond data storage. Now, the Ministry can build upon a scalable foundation that will enable its employees to take advantage of new technologies and faster data response times when providing healthcare.
Gabe Rijpma, the senior director of health and social services Asia at Microsoft, helps echo the sentiment in which the Ministry of Health's adoption of Microsoft's Cloud was decided upon.
The Ministry of Health's decision to accept the use of Microsoft's public cloud for storage of personal health records will help transform the eHealth agenda in New Zealand. It comes at exactly the right time, as globally we are at an inflection point of all of this innovation in the sector.
As companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, and Google continue to gobble up landscape in fierce cloud-based competition, perhaps Microsoft's play in healthcare attention could see it become the unseated backbone of the health industry in the future. Let us know in the comments what you think of Microsoft's latest cloud initiative.
How do you think the cloud could help healthcare?
