Explosive Industry
All over the world fireworks are up! Here's why….
Fireworks aren't just for the Fourth anymore; not in the U.S., anyway, where pyrotechnics increasingly show up at all times of the year before, during and after cultural and sporting events. The boom in popularity has a lot to do with politics, money and our own basic desires for things that go boom. That and Boomtown. (Boom!)
According to the American Pyrotechnics Association (APA), sales of consumer fireworks figure to exceed a record $725 million, a result of relaxed laws in many states—2015 was the first year you could buy fireworks in New York state. And that was after a 2014 during which Americans bought 225 million pounds of fireworks, more than six-times the amount bought in 1980 (41 million pounds).
As is true with the rest of the world, the United States gets most of its fireworks from China, which has been obsessed with the stuff since a fifth-century monk named Li Tian invented the firecracker. China designs and produces about 90 percent of the world's pyrotechnics.
The great majority of Chinese fireworks are produced in the city of Liuyang in Hunan province, where about 60 percent of the $600 million worth of pyrotechnics exported to the U.S. annually is manufactured.
Liuyang is home to more than 1,000 factories producing fireworks, earning it the nickname "Boomtown." The Mayor of Boomtown just may be Rochester, Minnesota product Terry Winkle. The president of Northern Star Pyrotechnics—he held the same position with Liuyang Flying Dragon Fireworks—is not only an expert at producing great fireworks but through Northern and his consulting firm, Your Agent in China, he finds, evaluates and does quality control checks on firework products for importers. It's said of Winkle that no matter how unusual the pyrotechnic, he can either make it for you or knows someone who can.
Most of what is produced in Liuyang stays in China; no country on Earth loves fireworks like they do in China, where fireworks are a ubiquitous gift and instrument used for celebration and rituals to ward off evil spirits or welcome good fortune. But Winkle has said that many local factories "have gone domestic-only because of all the rules and regulations that other countries are putting on."
China's regulations are more permissive than many Western countries. What's more, the country's ever-growing middle class not only demands a greater selection of fireworks but greater firepower. There you can find firecrackers many times more powerful than the M-80 weird Billy Harold used to blow up the Boys Room urinal.
Though the Gruccis had smashed the previous mark six times over, their record stood for less than a year before a Norwegian display, which took an hour and a half from start to finish, bested their effort. Fireworks have competitions all their own and, of course, they have become ubiquitous at sporting events with varying degrees of success.
This year alone there have been fireworks mishaps involving a New York Giants football player who blew off a finger, pregame fireworks that ignited the artificial turf at a St. Louis Rams game delaying the contest 30 minutes, and the sad tale of the firework technician at a Cleveland Indians game who incurred the wrath, and boos, of the home crowd because he mistakenly set off celebratory pyrotechnics when an opposing player hit a home run.
It's not all bad, of course. Austin Dillon credited fireworks, and the Almighty, with pushing him to victory at a stock car race in Charlotte, North Carolina. Dillon, whose race suit was singed by a pre-race firework display, said after his victory: "I don't know if it was a sign from God or what, but he got me going with a firework in the butt."
Actually, the APA credits higher industry safety standards with making fireworks safer—the U.S. Fire Administration's National Fire Incident Reporting System shows firework-related fires have declined more than 50 percent since 2000—thus fueling the jump in sales.
Of course, one can never be too careful, even—perhaps especially—in Boomtown, since it was only two years ago that Liuyang's fireworks museum caught fire.

Lo stemma della Slovenia è l'emblema della Repubblica di Slovenia. È costituito da uno scudo blu bordato di rosso, sul quale è stilizzato il monte Tricorno (Triglav). Nella parte inferiore del monte ci sono due linee ondulate blu, rappresentanti i fiumi e il mare del Paese, mentre sopra al monte sono poste tre stelle a sei punte, prese dall'emblema dei conti di Celie. È stato adottato a partire dal 1991, cioè dall'indipendenza della Slovenia.

Storia

La Repubblica Socialista di Slovenia, una delle sei repubbliche che formavano la Repubblica Socialista Federale di Iugoslavia, con Lubiana come capitale, aveva un emblema contenente il monte Tricorno con sotto tre linee ondulate; circondati da spighe di grano intrecciate con foglie di tiglio tenute insieme da un nastro rosso e il tutto sormontato da una stella rossa bordata di bianco.

People Are Wondering How On Earth Matthew Perry Could Hate Keanu Reeves, One Of The Internet's Favorite People
Update: Since the information superhighway blew up on Matthew Perry dissing Keanu Reeves in his memoir (see below), he's issued a statement saying that he…doesn't hate him but just used his name randomly? Something like that. "I'm actually a big fan of Keanu," Perry said in a statement. "I just chose a random name, my mistake. I apologize. I should have used my own name instead."
Original story: Matthew Perry is on a kind of comeback tour, doing the rounds for his new memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing. Based on the many excerpts that have already been published, it sounds like a bracing read. The Friends alum delves into his longtime battles with addiction, which came close to taking his life. (There's also some more lighthearted business involving Julia Roberts, though even that story has a sad conclusion.) But there's one confession that people are not down with: He apparently hates Keanu Reeves.
Twice in his memoir Perry disses Keanu Reeves. "Why is it that the original thinkers like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger die, but Keanu Reeves still walks among us?" he writes at point. Later on, after learning about the death of his Almost Heroes co-star Chris Farley, he writes that he "punched a hole through Jennifer Aniston's dressing room wall when I found out." Then he adds, lamentably, "Keanu Reeves walks among us."
Why does the erstwhile Chandler Bing hate the erstwhile Johnny Mnemonic? So far, it's unclear. Maybe he dedicates a chapter to why he hates him. Or perhaps he never caught wind that Reeves went from a sometime joke to one of the most beloved, kindest celebrities on the planet.
Whatever Perry's motivation, the Keanu hate left people scratching their heads. In a since-deleted tweet, Reeves' Bill and Ted costar Alex Winter wrote, "The surest way to consign yourself to the dustbin of the 90's is to take potshots that no one has made since the 90's."
Others felt similarly.
Imagine kicking off your goodwill tour with "Keanu Reeves should be dead."

Some wondered if he simply missed a memo or two.
ok giving him the benefit of the doubt here, Keanu was seen as somewhat of a joke in the 90s and I don't think Matthew Perry has caught up to the fact that everyone loves him now https://t.co/4Uz0YXDMH3

Honestly, I wish Matthew Perry well in his recovery, so I'll just remind him of Step 5: "Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being that Keanu Reeves is fucking awesome."

In any case, if Reeves had any doubt he was loved, he only had to check out Twitter on Wednesday. But he was probably busy walking grandmas across the street or something.

Planetary protection technologies are for cleaning and sterilizing spacecraft and handling soil, rock, and atmospheric samples.
In the study of whether Mars has had environments conducive to life, precautions are taken against introducing microbes from Earth. The United States is a signatory to an international treaty that stipulates that exploration must be conducted in a manner that avoids harmful contamination of celestial bodies.
The primary strategy for preventing contamination of Mars with Earth organisms is to be sure that the hardware intended to reach the planet is clean. Each Mars Exploration Rover complied with requirements to carry a total of no more than 300,000 bacterial spores on any surface from which the spores could get into the martian environment. Technicians assembling the spacecraft and preparing them for launch frequently cleaned surfaces by wiping them with an alcohol solution. The planetary protection team carefully sampled the surfaces and performed microbiology tests to demonstrate that each spacecraft meets requirements for biological cleanliness. Components tolerant of high temperature, such as the parachute and thermal blanketing, were heated to 110 degrees Celsius (230 Fahrenheit) or hotter to kill microbes. The core box of each rover, containing the main computer and other key electronics, is sealed and vented through high-efficiency filters that keep any microbes inside. Some smaller electronics compartments are also isolated in this manner.
Another type of precaution is to be sure that other hardware doesn't go to Mars accidentally. When the Delta launch vehicle's third stage separated from the spacecraft, the two objects were traveling on nearly identical trajectories. To prevent the possibility of the third stage hitting Mars, that shared course was deliberately set so that the spacecraft would miss Mars if not for its first trajectory correction maneuver, about 10 days later.

AMCHP > About AMCHP > Newsletters > Pulse Newsletter > Archive > 2010 > November 2010 > Thinking Outside of the Box: Engaging Adolescents in Preconception Health
By Lissa Pressfield, MHS
Program Manager, Adolescent Health
While preconception health for adolescents may seem like a curious notion, it actually provides a new, broader framework to address a range of risks and protective factors facing adolescents that will affect present and future health, and for many, future pregnancies. Including adolescents in preconception health efforts, which have thus far predominantly focused on women, fits within the paradigm of the life course approach and challenges us to expand our reach to critical periods during adolescence.
What do we know?
· Healthy and unhealthy behaviors in one period of life can be carried on into subsequent periods of life and impact health outcomes.
· Pregnant teenagers have higher risk than women in their twenties and early thirties of low birth weight, preterm births, death in infancy, and higher risk than their peers for high school dropout and other social and financial hardships that negatively influence health and well-being. (1-3)
· In 2008, the teen birth rate was 41.5 per 1,000 teenagers – one of the highest rates among developed countries. (4) Over two-thirds of teenage pregnancies are unplanned.
· 46 percent of 15-19 year-olds reported ever having sex on the 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. (5)
· In 2006, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea or Syphilis was present in about 1 million youth aged 10 to 24 years.
· During 2004 to 2006, approximately 105,000 adolescents and young adults 10 to 24 years of age were seen at a hospital emergency department for nonfatal sexual assault injury.
· Similar to the majority of adults, young people are often unaware of how their behaviors and lifestyle factors can influence reproductive health and future health outcomes. (6)
What is AMCHP doing?
In 2006, CDC released the Recommendations to Improve Preconception Health and Health Care — which focused on changing the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to reproductive health among both men and women of reproductive age — and AMCHP saw an opportunity to bridge adolescent and women's health by launching a Preconception Health and Adolescents Action Learning Collaborative (PHA ALC). In partnership with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), AMCHP has been working with six multidisciplinary state teams from Missouri, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Utah to develop innovative approaches for integrating preconception health concepts into adolescent health efforts.
What are the six state doing?
These state teams are composed of representatives from both health and education agencies, as well as community organizations, universities, youth leaders and other partners. The expertise of team members includes adolescent health, women's health, family planning, health education and much more. Each of these teams has identified one or more of four select preconception health recommendations for their work. The four recommendations include:
· Recommendation #1: Individual responsibility across the lifespan, which includes the development, evaluation and dissemination of reproductive life planning tools and education materials to increase "reproductive awareness."
· Recommendation #2: Consumer awareness to develop, evaluate and disseminate age-appropriate educational curricula and modules for use in school health education programs; integrate reproductive health messages into existing health promotion campaigns; and design and conduct social marketing campaigns to develop messages for promoting preconception health knowledge and attitudes and behaviors.
· Recommendation #4: Interventions for identified risks to increase health/education provider awareness concerning the importance of ongoing care for chronic conditions and interventions for identified risk factors, and disseminate existing evidence-based interventions that address risk factors (i.e., alcohol misuse, HIV/AIDS, smoking, STD, obesity).
· Recommendation #8: Public health programs and strategies, which focuses on developing and supporting public health practice collaborative groups to promote shared learning and dissemination of approaches for increasing preconception health, and incorporating preconception care efforts into existing public health and education programs.
Key Successes
The six ALC states have been working a variety of projects since October 2009 and continue to build broader support to achieve their goals. Utah, by engaging educators and health experts, integrated preconception health concepts into the State Office of Education Secondary Health Core Curriculum and is disseminating a life planning tool for youth called "Plan your Health, Live your Life." South Carolina is using a youth engagement approach to develop a culturally and age-appropriate website and social media strategy to raise awareness about preconception health among young adults (18-20). Oregon, with strong involvement from youth with disabilities and advocates for people with disabilities, is assessing the preconception health issues and needs of this population in order to develop recommendations and a model policy for integrating youth with disabilities in preconception health efforts. Missouri conducted an assessment of the needs of both students and teachers related to preconception health in order to identify priorities for updating health curriculum resources. Pennsylvania, with broad stakeholder involvement, is working to incorporate preconception health for adolescents into parenting education models. And, Ohio is taking a look at their broad efforts related to adolescent sexual health to strategically integrate preconception health.
A Common Challenge
In spite of the many successes, one of the key lessons learned is that "preconception health" is not a term that resonates with their target populations, which include youth and young adults, educators, parents, etc. This challenge is not new, but the strategies for framing preconception health as it relates to adolescents will be unique. Over the next six months, AMCHP and ASTHO, along with these states and a communications consultant, will be working to reframe the concept of preconception health to more effectively convey the essential messages related to health promotion, screening and prevention.
Are you interested in learning more?
If you are interested in learning more about the work of these six states and others around the nation, in addition to the work that is being done around framing preconception health for adolescents, please consider attending the Preconception Health Symposium: Extending Our Reach to Adolescents and Young Adults on Saturday, February 12, 2011 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. EST. This dynamic session will provide an opportunity to learn from states about their successes and challenges with promoting preconception health with adolescents and explore how these concepts could be applied in your state. The event will be in conjunction with the 2011 AMCHP and Family Voices National Conferences in Washington, DC and is open to conference participants and invited guests only. Space is limited. AMCHP will continue to highlight the efforts of the PHA ALC teams and other states that are implementing preconception health with adolescents through webinars and fact sheets. So, stay tuned!

they won't sell it because it's not set up in the system as a separate part. it's only intended to be included with a hard drive. you'll have to purchase it through a third-party reseller.
Question: sell old machine, get new?
I'm thinking about selling a sys with the following specs, but am still not sure.
comments? Requests? If I sell, it should go for about 2.5-2.6 grand.
I hear that the cell CPU will be far superior to any 64 bit, so I'm pondering waiting to upgrade until I can get a cell system.
Answer:sell old machine, get new?
thats quite the crazy set up..im not sure if ide pay 2.5-2.6 grand for it though, maybe 2 grand if i had that kinda money to spend.
Why are you selling that though? that computer would do you for so long.
Question: Where to sell Comps?
I think places like Cash Converters might. ..srry i cant be of moer help.
Question: How much can I sell my custom PC for?
I was planning to sell my mouse and keyboard, with a WiFi adapter. The mouse and keyboard aren't worth much and the WiFi adapter is a TP-link Archer.
Answer:How much can I sell my custom PC for?
No, we are not in a position to advise on selling prices, and for that reason we don't do it. I suggest that you take a look on Ebay - you'll get a pretty good idea from looking at the specs of similar machines offered for sale.
Recently I have developed an educational software in VB.Now I want to distribute it. Please tell me how can I approach the user and distribute my project to them.
I have a bad feeling you're going a proprietary software route here with this, since you're using VB. However, I recommend that you find a way to package the box nicely, and become a seller on Amazon.com.If you want to make it open source, but make it LGPL so people don't mess with it as easy, you can publish it a lot of places, including SourceForge, Launchpad, BerilOS, or other places that I can't name right off hand.Hope all this helps.

I was feeling pretty let down by AMD with the vega release so I've decided not to do a full system upgrade til Zen 2 comes out. I can decide what I want to do from there.
My 4790k, 16gb ram, and Fury Nano are just fine for now.
SO, I picked up a 1tb MSATA and am about to do a fresh install.
I'm really wanting to throw windows 7 ultimate back on.
But windows 10 is pretty much gonna be it for the foreseeable future so maybe I should take that path..
IF I install 10 it'll either be Pro or Enterprise.
I've used that guys Lite version of 7 and really liked it.
I just don't like 10.. lol. SO Can I be sold on it?
But I just want to be sure that selling it unformatted would be safe.
For instance, I am planning on making a new admin account on the computer, and from there I am going to delete the CURRENT admin account which I'm using now, by going to control panel > users/accounts > (admin account name) > Delete (would you like to keep account files? Answer: No).
And the buyer who will recieve the laptop will have access to the newly created account, and there will be no other account on the computer besides maybe the guest account (and another wierd Admin account that is somehow above all and I never used before) and I would have deleted this account via the control panel....am I safe after having done this? Meaning can the buyer still somehow recover private information (saved passwords, files, etc.) after I've deleted my account?
Reason I'm asking is, this computer already has the Dell drivers and downloads installed to make it as good as it is...and if I format with a Windows Vista CD, everything will be lost and I have to re-download drivers etc. It just makes the computer more valuable when selling.
Why not just install the OS and not make an account? What I mean is, install it, then do not go through the account creation/setup steps and don't use the laptop until you sell it.
Thats what I did when I gave my older desktop to my Mom's boyfriend. Then he just made an account for himself.
You would review your local paper computer section for sale as well as craigslist computers for sale to find what you should charge for your area.Internet forums like this one are international and would not be of any help since you are selling this locally.Your specs look fine though you should mention hard drive and memory sizes also as well as sound, and accessories.
Question: Vista, can i sell it?
I am planning on selling computers, however I am having a bit of trouble understanding the rules/laws of microsoft.
Our company sell's computers blank, however now we want to sell our pc's with vista pre-installed. Is it legal for us to install only the 30 day trial version or does the pc have to be sealed?
I have read a bit about the OPK for office and the medialess license, can the same also be done with vista.
I ahve heard you have to obtain a master OEM kit?
Answer:Vista, can i sell it?
The information you need is contained on the documentation that comes with the download and with the discs.
You should also review the business license requirements of the governmental entity that issues them. You cannot legally do any of it in excess of a certain dollar amount without a business license.
If you were to do this then go through the disk CAREFULLY, you could be pretty sure there were none of your files were just sitting on the disk. However, if your data was sensitive, then it is pretty unsecure. Deleted data is not overwritten until it is needed to be, meaning your deleted data is still on the disk, almost perfectly intact. There are many free programs including Recuva that can easily recover this data. Any old identity thief can use Recuva. However, if you format your hard disk with one pass, then Recuva struggles.
HOWEVER: There are geniuses that can recover data from a hard disk that has been securely wiped (7 format passes) and geniuses that can recover data from a hard disk that has been physically snapped in two. These people are very very rare, but they do exist.
There is no totally secure way to format a disk, but for average stuff then 7 passes is enough (so few people can recover data after 7 passes) The only truly secure way is to replace the hard disk with a new one, and keep the old one yourself, or to remove the disk and burn it (so that the disks inside the hard drive are melted into a smooth ball) and then replace it.
Question: How much should I sell these pc parts for?
I have some computer pieces that I aquired but dont use, I know that some of them are worth nothing and will probbaly throw them away. Could you tell me how much they would be worth?
Question: Can I sell the product key if I used it once?
Is there a way to uninstall the product key, and sell it to someone else?
Answer:Can I sell the product key if I used it once?
ok your best place to start with this is reading the Windows 8.1 EULA.
OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows bought separately, are tied to the first computer they are installed on and can not be transferred to a different computer. To install Windows on a different computer you will need to buy another copy.
Assuming as you are wanting to downgrade back to windows 7 you are not running an OEM Version and a legitimate retail edition.
Can I transfer the software to another computer or user?
Can anybody help with this annoying situation please . When I access Ebay and try to sell, it now refuses saying " You need to change compatibility mode . simply by clicking on icon on toolbar , but in win 8 I do not have this icon and cannot find anyway to change compatibility mode , Any ideas please.
Try this. On the Ebay page, press F12 and scroll down the menu that appears until you get to Emulation (it's the last option). You will see an entry User Agent String: which will show Default as its value. Click on the drop-down box, and you can pick other options, such as Internet Explorer 8 etc.

Q: Add new name automatically in another table whenever a new unique name is added to main table? Hi I'm new to Access and I'm trying to accomplish the following task:
I maintain a main table with chronological entries of different investment's return on a daily basis with following fields:

RECORD_DATE, INVESTMENT_NAME, RETURN

Now, I maintain this table by copying a list of investments and their returns from Excel into Access, with the day's date.
So the entries look like:
1/1/2013, Manager_A, 10%
1/1/2013, Manager_B, 9%
1/2/2013, Manager_A, 11%
1/2/2013, Manager_B, 8%

I also want to maintain a different table describing the Investment

INVESTMENT_NAME, ASSET_TYPE, MANAGER

I want to be able to add a new entry whenever a new unique manager name shows up in the first table. Of course I will type in the ASSET_TYPE, MANAGER fields myself later.
Is there a way to construct a relationship in Access so that every time when I copy new entries for the day this happens?

A: As Access does not have triggers you can use Macros. Depending on which version of Access you are using, this link should help you.

Myanmar refugees sue Facebook for $150 billion
Posted on December 8, 2021 by Mathew Ingram
Note: This was originally published as the daily newsletter at the Columbia Journalism Review, where I am the chief digital writer
Three years ago, a United Nations' fact-finding mission looking into what it called a genocide committed against the Rohingya community in Myanmar—which saw hundreds of thousands of people displaced, and more than ten thousand tortured, and killed—released a report looking into the causes of the violence. One of the contributing factors, the UN mission found, was hate speech and propaganda spread via Facebook pages and accounts, including some that were maintained by Myanmar's military police, known as the Tatmadaw. Although Facebook eventually took action to ban some of the most egregious examples, UN observers said these accounts and pages were able to foment violence and hatred against the Rohingya for months, if not years.
Facebook admitted that its own report on the violence in Myanmar—prepared by an independent non-profit called Business for Social Responsibility, and released at the same time as the UN report—found "we weren't doing enough to help prevent our platform from being used to foment division and incite offline violence." The company apologized for not doing more to prevent violence being fueled by its platform, and promised to expand its policies and add moderation in Myanmar. Some believe it needs to do a lot more, however: this week, in a multi-country effort, lawyers representing thousands of members of the Rohingya refugee community filed legal claims against Facebook demanding $150 billion in compensation for the harms their people suffered.
In the UK, the BBC reported that a British law firm representing some of the refugees has written a letter to Facebook, saying it plans to file a suit in Britain's High Court because Facebook's algorithms "amplified hate speech against the Rohingya people,"and that the company failed to hire moderators familiar with the political and cultural situation in Myanmar. The letter also claims that Facebook failed to "take appropriate and timely action" to remove posts or ban accounts that incited violence against the Rohingya. In the US, a law firm representing some Rohingya refugees filed a class action complaint in California, alleging that Facebook was "willing to trade the lives of the Rohingya people for better market penetration" in Myanmar.
The claim was filed in San Mateo County, where Facebook is based, on behalf of a Rohingya refugee living in Illinois and an estimated 10,000 Rohingya refugees who have settled in the US since the genocide began in 2012. The suit asks for at least $150 billion for "wrongful death, personal injury, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of property." The action says Facebook's product is defective, a strategy that appears to be an attempt to get around Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects Facebook and other social platforms from legal liability for the content they host. The lawsuit also argues that the laws of Myanmar should apply rather than US laws (a gambit that at least one legal expert said was unlikely to succeed).
The complaint relies in part on an affidavit filed by a former Facebook staffer, who said "Facebook executives were fully aware that posts ordering hits by the Myanmar government on the minority Muslim Rohingya were spreading wildly on Facebook," and that the issue of hate speech directed at the Rohingya "was well known inside the company for years." The US claim says that the Myanmar military regime "employed hundreds of people, some posing as celebrities, to operate fake Facebook accounts and to generate hateful and dehumanizing content about the Rohingya," and quotes the UN report from 2018 as saying that Facebook's central role in the daily lives and information consumption of Myanmar citizens meant it "played a determining role in the genocide."
Facebook was warned by many organizations working within the country that hate speech was circulating on the platform but did nothing, the claim states. "Despite having been repeatedly alerted between 2013 and 2017 to the vast quantities of anti-Rohingya hate speech and misinformation on its system… Facebook barely reacted," it says. The lawsuit also quotes from an internal memo written by Andrew Bosworth, a senior executive at Facebook, which said "the ugly truth is that we believe in connecting people so deeply that anything that allows us to connect more people more often is de facto good," even if "someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools."
Here's more on Facebook and genocide:
Monopoly: In its 2018 report, the UN said "the relative unfamiliarity of the population with the Internet and with digital platforms and the easier and cheaper access to Facebook have led to a situation in Myanmar where Facebook is the Internet." The company had become the main mode of communication among the public, and also the main source of news from Myanmar authorities and media, it said. "For many people, Facebook is the main, if not only, platform for online news and for using the Internet more broadly. In a context of low digital and social media literacy, the Government's use of Facebook for official announcements and sharing of information further contributes to users' perception of Facebook as a reliable source of information."
Appalled: In a statement sent to Ars Technica, a Facebook spokesman said that the company was "appalled by the crimes committed against the Rohingya people in Myanmar," and that it has built a dedicated team of Burmese speakers, banned accounts created by the country's armed forces, and "taken action on harmful misinformation to help keep people safe." Facebook said it has also invested in Burmese-language technology to help it moderate content. On Wednesday, the company announced that it has banned all Myanmar-military controlled businesses from having a presence on its platforms, something the UN special mission said it should do in 2018.
Promises: In 2018, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, promised a Senate hearing the company was doing as much as it could to stem hate speech in Myanmar, including adding more local moderators. A Reuters investigation, however, found that several months after this statement, thousands of comments, images, and other posts were still being published calling for violence against the Rohingya, including comments comparing them to animals, saying Myanmar should "fight them the way Hitler did the Jews," and advising attackers to "pour fuel and set fire so that they can meet Allah faster."
Other notable stories:
Reporters Without Borders on Tuesday published a major report on the loss of press freedom in China called "The Great Leap Backwards," an 82-page document it says reveals an "unprecedented campaign of repression led by the Chinese regime in recent years against journalism and the right to information worldwide." The report examines the regime's tools of repression against journalists and the deterioration of press freedom in Hong Kong, "which was once a model of press freedom but now has an increasing number of journalists arrested in the name of national security," the group says.
The US will provide new funding to protect reporters targeted because of their work and support independent international journalism, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday at the opening of the virtual Summit for Democracy, according to a report from CNN. Blinken said the new fund will support "reporters and news organizations that are targeted with litigation as a result of their reporting," such as Dayanna Monroy, an investigative journalist Blinken said he met in Ecuador, who was targeted for her reporting. "The fund we're launching will support journalists like Dayanna as they defend themselves against such baseless legal efforts," said Blinken.
Bloomberg reports that Twitter has a secret program aimed at high-profile users known as Project Guardian, which is designed to give them more protection from trolls and abuse. The program "includes a list of thousands of accounts most likely to be attacked or harassed on the platform, including politicians, journalists, musicians and professional athletes," Bloomberg says. "When someone flags abusive posts or messages related to those users, the reports are prioritized by Twitter's content moderation systems, meaning the company reviews them faster than other reports in the queue."
Roy Schwartz, president and co-founder of Axios, told Digiday that the company will have $86 million in revenue this year, representing forty percent growth over the prior year, and has been profitable for three years in a row. Despite rumors over the past year that the company would merge with The Athletic or be acquired by Axel Springer, the German media giant, Schwartz said that Axios isn't interested in mergers or acquisitions. "It's too early at this point to sell the business or to merge it with something that would be larger than we are," he said.
Alex Paterson, a reporter with Media Matters, listened to 350 hours of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast and wrote that "throughout his first full year streaming exclusively on Spotify, host Joe Rogan has repeatedly used his podcast to broadcast conspiracy theories, COVID-19 misinformation, and anti-trans rhetoric to millions of listeners across the globe." In an interview with The Verge, Paterson said that Rogan has become "more emboldened to push baseless conspiracy theories and right-wing lies over the past year."
Anya Schiffrin writes for CJR that European regulation of online disinformation may be a "game changer" in 2022. "The US has lagged in regulating Big Tech, failing to require more transparency in political advertising or seriously modify Section 230 in order to make the platforms liable for the harmful content they disseminate," Schiffrin writes. "The Europeans are trying something different. The French compare the DSA provisions to banking regulations—checking for systemic risk generally and then spot checks to see whether adequate prevention measures are in place."
Report for America announced almost 70 new newsrooms as partners for its non-profit journalism program, bringing the total number of partner newsrooms to 325. The project said it has also opened up applications for 150 new reporting positions it hopes to add next year. The newly announced newsrooms include radio stations in Colorado, Arkansas, Connecticut, and Alaska, as well as the Bay City News Foundation, the Sacramento Observer, and Washington City Paper.


rename the old redmine folder, and extract the new redmine .zip in its place.
Rename c:\Ruby187\bin\libmysql.dll and replace with the libmysql.dll from the downloaded file.
Open Redmine in a browser again. Redmine is working now and on version 1.4.5. As suggested in the upgrade guide I checked Admin -> Roles & Permissions (had to add Manage Related Issues), and checked that repositories were ok.
The cgi.rb and mongrel.rb files I modified are attached.
I've found some information here: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/4690 and the solution was here: https://github.com/rack/rack/commit/f6f3c60938ea3b08f3292a2480e6753c293584e5 and involves editing utils.rb in rack.
Restart mongrel services and Redmine is working properly again.

The Real Reason People Eat These Disgusting Things
By Chris Heasman/Updated: March 9, 2021 2:35 pm EST
What was the last thing you ate for lunch? A sandwich, maybe? Or something a bit more extravagant? Either way, there's a good chance (we hope) you enjoyed it. The same can't be said, however, for some of these foods. A whole range of words exist that could describe some of the things on this list, and few of them are good. Yet some people eat them nonetheless. Many of those people may tell you that they do it because this stuff tastes good, but if that seems like a bit of a stretch to you (and it does to us) then we've rounded up some of the other reasons human beings willingly ingest the most disgusting things on the planet. If you're eating lunch right now, we'd suggest you move on.
Hachinoko
Put simply, hachinoko are baby wasps. They're considered a bit of a treat in Japan, and allegedly have the consistency of guts and a sweet, starchy and slightly smokey taste to them. Bugs are very commonly eaten around East Asia, and Japan is no different. Hachinoko, in fact, are actually a fairly expensive delicacy and are often served in fine dining restaurants.
They're eaten for a few reasons: partly because they're nutritious (and it's believed they have anti-aging properties as well as health benefits) and partly because of a chef-led cultural push to revive the practice of eating insects, which had last been 'fashionable', if you could call it that, when they were eaten in rural Japan during World War II, when food sources became scarce.
Don't go thinking that eating horrific things for strange reasons is a tradition reserved exclusively for the Far East, however. Representing Europe in the 'what the hell' game is Finland, which is the source of a tasty little treat called salmiakki — or salted liquorice. Finns put it in ice cream, in fudge, in chocolate, in vodka, in candies — if you can name it, Finland has probably ruined it. So why are they so crazy for the stuff? Well, it originated as a cough medicine in pharmacies which used ammonium chloride (they key ingredient in salmiakki) to help break down mucus in sick patients.
These days, it would seem that most Finns enjoy salmiakki because most of them have grown up with it — essentially, it acts as a sort of nostalgic trigger which reminds them of their childhoods. As a result, salmiakki is considered by some as a cultural force as vital to Finnish identity as saunas and Sibelius. Some have art, some have history, some have liquorice cough medicine. To each their own, right?
Let's not beat around the bush, here. Balut is fertilized duck egg, grown so the fetus of the duckling — which is pretty much fully grown, and has its eyes, beak and feathers — remains inside as you bite down into it. It probably originated in China, but is enjoyed nowadays across Southeast Asia, most famously in the Philippines. Some (including Filipinos) will tell you that it actually tastes pretty great, but we'll defer to our own anecdotal evidence here. Trust us: Balut does not taste great.
So why's it eaten? Well, for those who do enjoy it, it's seen as a traditional late night snack (often eaten while out drinking) and is also considered highly nutritious. Most tellingly of all, however, balut is almost always found in red-light districts across the Philippines: it's developed quite the reputation as an aphrodisiac. Pregnant women also allegedly believe that it keeps them healthy and happy throughout their pregnancy.
Casu marzu
No, the 'Maggot Cheese of the Mediterranean' isn't the worst Johnny Depp movie you've ever seen. It's Casu Marzu, a black market delicacy 'enjoyed' by Sardinians who apparently have nothing else to lose. To make it, cheese makers allow cheese skipper flies to lay eggs in their cheeses, often by adding a dash of oil to the cheese. The flies lay their eggs, which then hatch into maggots that cause the cheese's fat to putrefy.
What you're left with is a putrid maggot hotel which goes quite well with a full-bodied red and has a seriously good chance of blinding you. Despite being illegal, however, Sardinians enjoy Casu Marzu at special events and offer it as a gift to family and friends. According to Sardinian farmers, it's believed that the maggots appear spontaneously in the cheese (a bit like transubstantiation, except worse in every single way) which apparently acts as a sort of grand metaphor for life, death and decay. Oh, and they say it's an aphrodisiac, too. Obviously.
Hákarl
Ah, hákarl. Perhaps Iceland's most famous so-called delicacy is shark that's fermented in ammonia and hung out to dry for months on end. It looks like fudge gone wrong and tastes faintly of cleaning products. Anthony Bourdain famously remarked that it was the worst thing he had ever eaten, while Gordon Ramsay is said to have vomited after eating it. Despite all this, however, it has been part of Icelandic culture for hundreds of years.
It's the natural product of the Icelandic way of life, where the population is low, the sun is scarce and natural sources for meat were once almost impossible to find. As a symbol of Icelandic innovation and endurance, it's beloved among almost all proud Icelanders. That doesn't mean, however, that they have to eat it. Nowadays, it acts more of a draw to brave tourists, becoming more and more notorious as Iceland becomes more famous. Some Icelanders believe, in fact, that hákarl is better for making tourists eat (and then joyfully watching them squirm as they do) than it is a genuine cultural icon.
Fried scorpion
Lucky you: we're back on insects. Like many other types of invertebrate, fried scorpions are eaten as a street snack all over Asia. They're not just eaten fried, either, and you'll often find scorpions are street stalls that have been roasted, grilled or are simply eaten live. They're particularly popular with tourists, who are often after the novelty or rush of eating something quite so strange and exotic, but it's also said in some Asian traditions that eating scorpion tails will make you strong (and luckily, the heat under which they're cooked will negate the effects of any of the nasty stuff inside their stingers).
There are also, however, nutritional benefits to eating scorpions. They're richer in protein, fat and carbohydrates than most meats, and are often touted as a potential solution to global hunger.
To make lutefisk, you take a fish (such as cod) that would be far better off simply battered, and proceed to soak it in cold water for just under a week, before treating it with lye. It's then soaked in water again and cooked. The dish has Scandinavian origins, and it's widely associated with Norse culture.
Strangely enough, however, it's barely eaten in Scandinavia at all. Instead, lutefisk has a following among Americans who identify as having Scandinavian roots. Madison, Minnesota claims to be the lutefisk capital of the world, and hosts dinners made with the dish throughout the fall and winter. As a result, lutefisk is a Scandinavian tradition that is more enjoyed by immigrants and their children than by native Scandis. For them, it's a connection to the motherland, and a cultural link to their heritage.
Kombucha is a form of fermented tea which is made using a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, in a process known as SCOBY. It tastes sour and sharp, apparently quite like cough syrup. Not only that, but, if improperly prepared, drinking kombucha can lead to a series of adverse effects, including death. Despite this, however, it's consumed around the world for its supposed health benefits. Believers claim it prevents cancer, keeps arthritis at bay and aids with digestion while boosting your immune system.
Unfortunately, however, research into kombucha suggests that the supposed benefits of kombucha are more or less non-existent, and that drinking it (even while correctly prepared) could possibly lead to liver damage, metabolic acidosis and even anthrax infection. Stick to the green teas.
Jellied eels
Ask someone who's never been, and they'll give you quite the romantic depiction of London. It's all damp mornings and cobbled streets; gaslights shining through the fog while commuters walk to-and-fro in the shadow of Big Ben. Someone, somewhere is also eating a jellied eel. Well, this might all have been true once: jellied eels, at the very least, were a primitive form of fast food, eaten because they were one of the few things that could be fished alive from the Thames.
These days, however, they're a rarity on the streets of London. So who's eating them? Well, the elderly, for starters — most of the folk who still remember them as a treat still preserve their legacy by running the few shops that still sell them. They are, however, making a slow comeback, being stocked in supermarkets as British people have begun turning to them as a source of cheap protein.
Escamoles
Escamoles, generously referred to as 'Mexican caviar', is a dish made up for the larvae of ants. They're harvested from agave plants and cacti which are found in Mexico and the southern US, and are often pan-fried or included in other foods, such as tacos. The strangest thing about escamoles isn't just that they're eaten — it's that they're one of Mexico's most prized and expensive foods.
There's a historical and cultural precedent to this, of course, since they were considered a delicacy among the Aztecs long before Mexico was a thing. Nowadays, like caviar, it's a bit of a status symbol, partially because they're only available between February and May each year. They're also frequently eaten as an Easter celebration food. Visit at the right time of year and you'll find escamoles on menus all around the country, though, if you're tempted, it's probably worth asking yourself: are you really that tired of burritos?

Facts of Pascal Gastien
Full Name Pascal Gastien
First Name Pascal
Last Name Gastien
Profession Football Manager
Nationality French
Birth City Rochefort
Birth Country France
Networth $5 M
Date of Birth December 2,1963
Pascal Gastien is a French-born professional football manager who is the current manager of Ligue 1 side Clermont. He is a retired player.
He retired from his playing career after having spent most of his career with the top two divisions of the French Football League system, including Marseille, where he enjoyed a successful season, having won champions of France and Coupe de France in the 1988-89 season.
He is married to his wife
Pascal married his wife in the 1980s. From their union, the couple gave birth to their son Johan Gastien on the 25th of January, 1988.
Johan is in his footsteps. He is a professional footballer.
Urges his player to take risks
Gastien developed an interest in tactics at a very young age, because of which he has come a long way, having stayed with Niort for fifteen years before taking over their first team in 2009 and later Clermont in 2017.
Terence Makengo, the striker who played under Gastien while at Berry, explained his playing philosophy to be simple, play, and have fun.
He further added that Gastien never yelled at his players, even the defenders, on losing the dangerous ball but instead urged his players to take risks.
His former teammate Jimmy Algerino praised him for having a good vision of the game and grinning it without backing down but moving forward.
According to Gastein, the only chance to get out is by playing, and since the team was designed like that, it would be suicidal to change.
Because of his tactics, he led the Clermont to achieve history. Under his charge, Clermont finished in the league and won the promotion to Ligue 1 for the first time in their history.

He is the true definition of hard work and dedication
Gastien has dedicated his life to football, where he and football are inseparable terms.
He sleeps at 3 am and wakes up at 7 am and heads towards the training center. When it comes to talking about football, then he can go on for hours.
Seeing his passion, tactics, and everything related to football, his mates sometimes says, "he smells of football, he stinks of football. "
He has been crowned twice the title of the best coach of Ligue 2 in 2019 and 2021, which is the result of his hard work and dedication.

Does not grant his son any privileges as a coach and treats everyone equally
Gastien instilled the football qualities in his son Johan who is currently playing as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Clermont.
The father and son duo has worked together before while at Niort. He is the first trainer to his son Johan.
Despite being a father to Johan, he did not let him have any privilege and treated him equally like other players.
When Johan joined his father in Clermont, he was scared, initially thinking how his teammates would welcome him knowing him as the son of the coach, but they soon got to know that the coach was not going to grant his son any privileges, which made things work well.
Even though he treats every player equally, Johan confessed to facing frustrating situations when the opponents give him that awkward look which somewhat annoys him sometimes, but then he avoids thinking it to be a technique to upset him and put him in the trap.
He takes it as a motivation that motivates him to work hard to prove himself that he can do it without the support of his father.
He played well when his father was not his trainer while he was at Dijon in Ligue 1.

As of now, the net worth of Gastien is estimated to be:
$1 million - $5 million Football Manager, Retired Player
Pascal Gastien was born on the 2nd of December, 1963. He is currently 58 years old.

U.S. lifting Ebola travel restrictions on Guinea
By Metro US

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Biden administration said on Thursday it was lifting Ebola-related travel restrictions for U.S. visitors who have recently been in Guinea, effective Friday.
In March, the Department of Homeland Security ordered that travelers who had been in Guinea and Democratic Republic of the Congo within the past 21 days had to fly into one of six U.S. airports – New York-JFK; Chicago; Atlanta; Washington Dulles; Newark, New Jersey; or Los Angeles. The restriction on travel from DRC was lifted on May 3. DHS said on Thursday there had been no new Ebola cases reported in Guinea since early April.

Instructions, including step by step color photos, for more than 10 paper mache projects.
From The Learning Network - how to make a paper mache piggy bank.
You may not have clay or a kiln in which to bake finished pieces, but we can make something that looks like pottery using the papier mache technique, a craft in which layers of paper are pasted together to make a form. In this activity, we'll create a bowl and invent our own pictographs to use as surface decoration. By recycling newspapers and bags as art materials, we can help save natural resources and landfill space.
This plastic is particularly adaptable for making molds and light castings requiring tensile strength but very clear outline. It may also be used for making ornaments and novelties.
Instructions for how to construct a paper mache penguin.
This craft is a recipe for Paper Mache. We have received many requests for a good paper mache recipe and I believe this is the one!! This method of working with paper and paste allows you to mold and work with the material much as you would clay.

To be Australia's leading innovator in joining up civil-military-police cooperation for international crisis management.
The ACMC is a unique organisation. We work in contexts where there are no easy answers, where the environment is always changing, as is the number and range of our stakeholders. While our Mission is self-explanatory and all work that we do is driven by it, it is our Vision that shapes how we deliver on that Mission.
In 2008, the National Security Committee of Cabinet established the ACMC to assist Australian Government Agencies prepare for, prevent, and respond more effectively to conflicts and disasters overseas. The ACMC was established to meet a recognised shortfall in Australia's ability to conduct 'joined-up' operations in complex environments overseas. The priority areas of the ACMC were recognised as being: research and analysis; support to education and training; facilitation of interagency exercises; and ensuring that the lessons of operations are learned and incorporated into future preparedness.
Over ten years, we have adapted to meet the requirements of our stakeholders through ongoing engagement and consultation. The nature of the operational environment continues to evolve.
What we are doing now is not what we were doing when we were established and if you come back in five years, we will likely be doing different things yet again.
ACMC provides a degree of cross-agency resilience by picking up whole-of-government capability and preparedness issues that would otherwise fall between departments and agencies.


Mining firms' renewables development will boost their negotiating position with current energy suppliers.
Two major announcements have triggered huge interest in the topic of renewable energy and mining. Sandfire Resources intend to develop a 10.6MW PV plant at their DeGrussa copper mine in Western Australia. The project would be approximately 10 times as big as the largest existing solar–diesel hybrid power plant in the mining sector, and Sibanye Gold in South Africa is planning to build a 150MW solar plant to gain control over their energy costs, which make up 20% of their total costs currently. These announcements could spark a significant move in the mining industry towards the adoption of renewable energy.
The new THEnergy study "Renewable Energy as a Leverage for Mining Companies in Negotiations with Utilities and Diesel Suppliers", based on 32 interviews with experts from the mining, financial and renewable energy sectors, shows that many mining companies are not satisfied with their energy supplier.
It is true that oil prices and coal prices have fallen to a six-year low but mining companies are not seeing these savings on their electricity bills. The main reason for this, according to the report, is because reductions in oil and coal prices are often not passed onto industrial off-takers.
Added to the high prices of grid electricity, the mining industry often suffers at the hand of unreliable electricity supplies. This is especially true in Africa, parts of Asia and South America. In these regions, grid-connected mines have to deal with frequent load shedding or power outages which are not ideal since reliable power is obviously critical for many mining processes.
Discontent with current suppliers is further aggravated by long waiting periods for grid connection and missing customer orientation of many electrical utilities and diesel suppliers.
In many countries the market structure, above all in the utility sector, is rather monopolistic and characterized by a low degree of competition, says the study. In this context, renewable energy providers break up the market and can offer interesting alternatives.
Mining companies can also improve their negotiating position considerably by backing renewable energy projects. It is estimated that mining groups can improve their electricity prices by up to 20% and their diesel prices by up to 15% after they have built their first wind and solar pilot projects. The mines do not necessarily have to finance the plants by themselves as a number of external investors are in a position to offer power purchase agreements based on renewable energy to mining companies, and to finance solar or wind installation directly at off-grid mining sites.

The End of Manners Reader's Guide
By Francesca Marciano
Category: Literary Fiction
"Marciano writes richly. . . . Transports the reader to a foreign world rendered with empathy."
—The Denver Post
The introduction, questions, and suggestions for further reading that follow are designed to enliven your group's discussion of Francesca Marciano's The End of Manners. From the critically acclaimed author of Rules of the Wild, a thrilling, timely, and darkly funny story of friendship, human frailty, and war—and the role of outsiders in a country where they do not belong.
Maria Galante—rule-abiding, shy, a perfectionist—and larger-than-life journalist Imo Glass are on assignment in Afghanistan: Imo to interview girls who've attempted suicide rather than be married off to older men, Maria to photograph them. But in a culture in which women shroud their faces and suicide is a grave taboo, to photograph these women is to dishonor—and perhaps endanger—them. Maria and Imo must find their way among spies, arms dealers, and mercenaries, and through the back alleys of Kabul and into Pashtun villages, where the fragility of life stands out in bold relief. Before the assignment is over, Maria will have to decide if it's more important to succeed at her work—and please Imo—or to follow her own moral compass.
Questions and Topics for Discussion
1. Imo Glass and Maria Galante come from different countries and different cultural backgrounds; they have very different personalities and deal with situations differently. But in the face of the obstacles they encounter in Afghanistan, their similarities become more apparent. Compare and contrast the women. How are they more alike than they first appear to be? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Whom do you relate to most?
2. Why does Marciano choose to begin The End of Manners at the point when Imo and Maria are trying to leave Afghanistan? How do you think that this sets up the rest of the action in the book? Does knowing that Maria goes to Afghanistan at the outset of the story change the way that you view her equivocations about taking the photography assignment?
3. Francesca Marciano is also a screenwriter. What cinematic techniques, if any, did you notice in the novel? If The End of Manners were made into a film, whom would you like to see play Maria and Imo? Maria and Imo experience some surprisingly funny moments in Afghanistan. How does humor help them cope with life in a war zone? What other fictional works insert dark comedy into the theater of war? Is it daring for an author to use comedy or irony to address a world at war?
4. Hostile environment training is mandated by the insurance company. Are the lessons the Defenders try to teach useful in the real-world situations the characters encounter in Afghanistan? Or is the training simply an example of bureaucratic red tape? How do you connect the second and third sections of the novel?
5. Marciano has said that she "wanted to investigate in the book the relationship between men and women during a war. How does danger affect the roles? What happens to women in a place where the men hold the guns and the power?" Do the interactions that take place between Maria and Imo and the men in Babur's Lodge, and the atmosphere at Babur's Lodge, succeed in doing this? How do the men and women in the novel experience war differently?
6. Maria and Imo experience some surprisingly funny moments in Afghanistan. How does humor help them cope with life in a war zone? What other fictional works insert dark comedy into the theater of war? Is it daring for an author to use comedy or irony to address a world at war?
7. Imo says, "This seems to be the place where all good manners have come to an end. And it's not a very good sign if you ask me. If there were any hope—if any of them actually believed this country could still make it and get back on its feet again—these people would still be engaged in some kind of civilized behavior. But could they care less? They know this is the last stop. After this there's only chaos" [p. 132]. Do you agree with Imo? Why or why not? And why do you think Marciano chose to call her novel The End of Manners?
8. In the novel's opening pages, we learn that Maria is a food photographer who would rather shoot soufflés than people. What is the significance, if any, of her attempt to return to photojournalism at this point in her life?
9. Pierre Le Clerc becomes Maria's agent after one of her photos wins a World Press Photo award. Both he and Maria refer to this photo as "the Barbie doll picture" [p.11]. Why do they call it that, and what do you think the name implies? Why does Maria have such mixed feelings about the photo?
10. Compare and contrast Imo's journalistic style to Jeremy's, and also to Florence's. Is it possible to write a story such as Imo's from an outsider's point of view? Can someone like Florence, who is so involved in the lives of her subjects, be objective? Has Florence really assimilated, or is she, as Imo believes, putting on an act?
11. When Maria is desperately ill in Kabul, she sends a text message to her ex-boyfriend, Carlo, an immunologist, after two years without communication. How are one's vulnerabilities in a foreign place different from vulnerabilities at home? What do you think of Maria's reaction to Carlo's help, especially when she doesn't respond to his final pleas? Has Afghanistan already changed her? In what ways? Would she have answered him at the beginning of the novel?
12. Hanif is a resourceful "fixer." He finds Imo and Maria accommodations, obtains a translator, and takes the women to the Pashtun village, where there is no cell phone reception, even when his pregnant wife is in the hospital. Why does he put their needs first? What do you think of his decision not to stay by his wife's side? Was it a mistake?
13. As Hanif takes Maria and Imo through a narrow gorge on their way to the Pashtun village, the women feel a heightened sense of danger. But on the way back, when the women feel safe, they find themselves faced with a real threat. Afterward, Imo admits that she should have been more cautious, heeded Jeremy's warnings, and brought along the equipment he had loaned them. But would any of this have helped? Is there any way to feel secure in Afghanistan? Are you better protected—and able to experience a foreign place—when you feel secure and safe, or when you are constantly on guard?
14. Why is Maria unable to take a photo of Zuleya or of the women at the school but able to take the photo of Hanif's dying wife? What do you make of Hanif's statement to Maria, at the novel's conclusion, about the photograph?
15. Zuleya's sister says that the life of a Muslim woman in rural Afghanistan can be "a very sad life" in fact, "not a life at all" [p. 179]. What does she mean?
Francesca Marciano is the author of two previous novels and several screenplays, including Don't Tell, which was nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Foreign-Language Film. She lives in Rome.
