The Getae are not a single tribe, but a loose confederation settled around the Lower Danube. They differ from other local tribes through their worship of Gebeleizis, who manifests himself through lightning and thunder, and Zalmoxis, who represents immortality. The Getae strongly believe there are no other gods than their own, yet see themselves as constantly at odds with the heavens, even firing arrows at Gebeleizis during heavy storms.
There is some debate as to whether the Getae and the Dacians were the same peoples, or different tribes united by a common tongue. The Greeks, certainly, first referred to them as the Getae upon their first encounter during the 7th century BCE. Famed for their impressive shock cavalry and hit-and-run raiding tactics, the Getae earned the reputation during their time under the control of the now-weakened Odrysian Kingdom, to whom they provided military services.
Like many others in the region, they also fell victim to the aggressive expansion of the Macedonian king, Alexander the Great, who razed Getae settlements before beginning his Persian expedition. Since the death of Alexander and the breakup of his empire, the Getae have taken advantage of regional instability, using the opportunity to consolidate themselves. Now they stand ready to strike against former rulers and weaker neighbours alike, facing down resistance and returning aggression one hundred-fold!
Fiercely independent, the warriors of the Getae stand firm in battle. They're also proud of their cultural heritage, and the populace is happy in the presence of other Balkan tribes. However, past grievances with the nomadic tribes means they find it very hard to see eye-to-eye with them at the diplomatic table.

As parts of American suffered a polar vortex, with Lake Michigan freezing over, we look at some of the coldest places on earth.
Mongolia's capital city is widely agreed to be the coldest in the world. Located on a high plateau 1,300 metres above sea level, Ulaanbaatar is home to almost half of Mongolia's population of three million. Throughout January, temperatures rarely get above -16C. Fortunately, visitors can warm up inside the city's temples and museums, such as the International Intellectual Museum, an institution dedicated to puzzles, logic, riddles and games.
This Russian research station on Antarctica holds the title of having the lowest measured temperature of -89.2C, which it hit on 21 July 1983. Things don't improve much during the summer season, either, when the average temperature -32C. This extreme location is also one of the driest places on earth, with an average annual rain of less than one inch, all of which falls as snow.
At 6,190 metres above sea level, Mount Denali is North America's tallest mountain. Previously known as Mount McKinley, the mountain constitutes part of the Alaska Range and is at the heart of Denali National Park in Alaska. Denali's peak is permanently covered with snow and glaciers and holds the record for the coldest North American wind-chill temperature of -83C in 2003. The mountain sits approximately 130 miles north of Anchorage, the Alaskan capital.
Holder of the world record for the greatest temperature range, this Russian town to the north of the country has extremely cold winters and warm summers. In January, the average daily temperature is -48C and the mercury remains below zero between October until April. However in summer, temperatures regularly hovers at more than 30C.
The city of International Falls in Minnesota is so proud of its cold weather status that in 2002, it took the town of Fraser, Colorado, to court in an effort to claim cold supremacy and be crowned "Icebox of the Nation". International Falls won the title and celebrates by hosting an annual Icebox festival, which includes frozen turkey bowling, snow-sculpting and fireworks. This chilly destination sitting on the Rainy River across from Ontario, Canada, also has the lowest average temperature in the country of between 0-2C.
Situated in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, Fraser is 2,613 metres above sea level and home to just 1,275 people. Despite coming second place in the "Icebox of the Nation" battle with International Falls, Fraser still experiences some of the coldest winters in the United States, with the average temperature reaching just 3C. Its Winter Park Resort receives almost 10 metres of snow each year, making it a popular skiing destination.
Holding the title for the coldest temperature ever recorded in North America, the village of Snag recorded a temperature of -63.9C in 1947. At this point, the village was primarily used as an emergency landing strip and weather station, prompting meteorologists working on site to carve a new notch in the case of the thermometer and submit the instrument for further analysis to ensure it was operating as it should. The Yukon Territory has the smallest population of any province in Canada, with just 35,874 people living in the region.
The Russian port town of Yakutsk sits on the Lena River – a body of water that freezes to become solid enough to act as an additional road during the parky winter months. Here, temperatures in the -40C region are described as "cold, but not very cold"; and where one particular November, when the temperatures failed to drop below -25C, was described as "exceptionally warm". Thisremote settlement is located six time zones away from Moscow and a few hundred miles away from Oimyakon – "The Pole of Cold" – where the lowest ever temperature in an inhabited place was recorded at -71.2C.
The title for the coldest place on earth goes to the East Antarctic Plateau, a vast and barren stretch of ice the size of Australia. Researchers have recorded temperatures of -100C here. Areas of this gruelling cold were identified in 100 sites across the East Antarctic Plateau at an elevation of 3,800 metres.
At 5,610 metres above sea level, Rogers Pass recorded a temperature of -56C in January 1954, one of the lowest in the US. Despite this, the summer months are actually fairly warm, which pushes the average mean temperature for the year up to 6C. Don't be deceived, however – the temperature is unlikely to get above freezing between October and April.

Can I file a workers comp claim if I already clocked out for the day?
I worked my shift and had already clocked out. After clocking out I was walking out of the building and tripped and fell in the parking lot, fracturing my ankle. My question is: Can I file a workers compensation claim if I had already clocked out of work? Thanks.
Yes you can file a Workmans Compensation claim. Even though you clocked out you were still on your employer's property. Workmans Compensation insurance typically covers injuries sustained on an employer's property, even if at the time of the accident the employee was coming into or leaving work.
This rule does not usually apply to employees who are injured while driving to and from work, although there are some exceptions. Your employer may at first not agree with you. They may attempt to dissuade you from filing a claim.
Normally the large chain restaurants will do everything they can to help an injured employee. There are though some smaller, privately owned restaurants which are less cooperative. Regardless, do what you need to contact the restaurant's insurance company representative.
If your employer or manager hesitates or refuses to give you access to their insurance information, do not be dissuaded. Go online and find out the name and address of the company's headquarters. Contact them. They will give you the name and address of their insurance company.
Any medical bills you've sustained so far should be reimbursed by the Workmans Compensation insurance company. You will be assigned a claim number and a Claims Adjuster will contact you to set up your benefits, including lost wages and continuing medical treatment.
The only downside to the process is the possibility of the company replacing you. Workmans Compensation can do a lot to help an injured employee, but they are seldom able to protect an employee's job.

Hundreds celebrate 29th annual 'National Night…
Hundreds celebrate 29th annual 'National Night Out' in Pico Rivera, Whittier
By The Sun | thesun@dfmdev.com |
Gallery: Whittier's National Night Out
"National Night Out" was held Tuesday with a goal of uniting the community to fight crime. But for many it also was a chance to get out of the house.
"It sounded like fun," said Tanya Arellano of Whittier, who came with a friend and family to the Whittier event at Michigan Park.
"It's chance to take the kids out so they can have some fun," Arellano said.
This year is the 29th anniversary of the national program that is celebrated in all 50 U.S. states and territories, Canada and U.S. military bases around the world.
More than 37 million people were expected to participate this year.
In Pico Rivera, this year's National Night Out event in the sheriff's station parking lot honored the late Maria Hicks who was shot and killed in August 2007 when she tried to stop two people from tagging a wall.
Lt. Steve Sanchez of the sheriff's Pico Rivera station said someone is normally honored at the event and at the request of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Hicks was chosen.
About 25 members of Hicks' family, including her sister, son and other relatives, were present.
"What a great platform – National Night Out – to honor her," said Sanchez. "She was trying to keep her community nice and graffiti-clean. As we all know, it ultimately cost her life."
Also present were a number of service organizations, and free food was provided. A blood drive was held, and there was music.
"It's our one day we're able to join forces with the residents of Pico Rivera to show we are going to stomp out crime and not tolerate the criminal element," Sanchez said.
La Mirada will celebrate "National Night Out" from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday during the "Concert Under the Stars" at La Mirada Regional Park, 13701 Adelfa Drive, La Mirada.
In Whittier,there about 20 different service groups providing ed information.
The city also had some fun stuff for the youngsters with a bounce house and a rock wall.
"It brings out the citizens of Whittier, asking them to turn on their porch lights, lock their doors and say no to crime and drugs in Whittier," said Officer Bradley White, spokesman for the Whittier Police Department.
"This is an opportunity for the community to get together with the Police Department one night and show their support," White said. Margaret Hernandez of Whittier comes ever year.
"We get a lot of tips from the Police Department," Hernandez said. "It's very educational."
And you get to see the neighbors, said her husband, Sal.
But don't forget the food, said 13-year-old Madison Delgado of Whittier. "They give free food, and they give free stuff," Delgado said.
For some it was a fundraising event.
Lenae Silva came in support of the Whittier High football team, which was raising money. Her husband, Alfredo, teaches and coaches football at the school.
"It's also nice to have a fun night out with my family," Silva said.
She brought her 5-month-old son, Daniel, and her 2-year-old daughter, Ava.
And while the night was a chance to have some fun even those attending for that reason didn't forget the overall purpose.
"You want to fight against crime," said Arellano. "I hope it does help. It does bring us all together."

Is Antonio Banderas Supposed To Make Me Laugh?
So, it would seem Antonio Banderas is a fragrance mogul. He's been selling colognes and perfumes for twenty whole years. Were YOU aware he's some sort of olfactory baron? Was ANYONE, outside of the people who found them at Wal-Mart? Well, let me educate you. There are two collections: SECRET and SEDUCTION. In the SECRET collection, we have "Her Secret" and "Her Golden Secret" — is that like the Centrum Silver of secrets, for Women of an Age? — plus a version for men with just "The" and then a third, "The Secret Temptation," because I guess men are allowed to feel that but women are not.
The SEDUCTION collection involves Blue Seduction (also available for ladies), Black Seduction, King Of Seduction (Queen, for women), King of Seduction Absolute (or Queen of Seduction Absolute Diva, yawn) Power of Seduction, and the limited edition Miami Blue Seduction and Miami Black Seduction, which I assume smell the same as the others but with extra notes of sand, humidity, and pretension. Oh, and there's a "Classic" cologne for men called "Diavolo," in case these do not capture your essence. His website says, "My relationship with fragrances has been lifelong. It's part of who I am and, over the years, has become a true passion. A journey full of aromas and seduction that I invite you to discover." Clearly, I've just done all your holiday shopping for you. YOU'RE WELCOME.

A Cut Above Uniforms offers comfortable, quality made uniform clothing and accessories for pilots. They came to Uppercut looking for help in moving their e-commerce website to the Shopify platform.
The first challenge was to update the brand and redesigning the Cut Above Uniform logo. Next, we designed the template, set up the store, and loaded all the content and products onto Shopify for the client. The uniqueness of A Cut Above Uniforms is the multiple options offered on every shirt and pants to ensure a great fit, but the build-your-own uniforms customization posed a challenged on the Shopify platform because a limited number of variants are allowed on a product. We had to figure out a solution that didn't break the budget while taking advantages of Shopify's benefits. After much research, we identified the approach of using third-party plugins to make the build-your-own feature work on the e-commerce website.

Chilling facts about land expropriation without compensation laws that President Ramaphosa has promised to push in 2021
14th January 2021 by Editor BizNews
President Cyril Ramaphosa told the ANC at the start of the year that passing legislation to allow for land expropriation without compensation is a priority for the ruling party this year. It is move that would most likely deal a devastating blow to the already troubled SA economy because it will deter investment. Dr Anthea Jeffery, a legal expert with the IRR thinktank, unpacks the details of the proposed laws that will allow for the state to seize many of your assets, including your home – regardless of your skin colour. Disadvantaged people won't receive property equity; instead a system in which property is leased from the state is proposed. She says it is possible this socialist legislation will be passed, because the ANC can secure a two-thirds majority with the Economic Freedom Fighters – a radical group that supports Venezuela-style economics. In this interview, Dr Jeffery sets out what's next as the EWC policy gains momentum. It's a mistake to think President Ramaphosa is a pro-business 'reformer, she says. The IRR is taking steps to fight this legislation that will 'bring Zimbabwe to South Africa' and increase unemployment, hunger and suffering, as a deadline looms in February. – Jackie Cameron
Dr Anthea Jeffery on the proposed land expropriation laws:
Our economy is already hugely struggling because of the Covid pandemic and the successive lockdowns that have been needed. We're at a point where we need all the help we can possibly give to our economy. Instead, the government is busy pushing through parliament, two bills – which deal with land expropriation. By far the most serious is the constitutional amendment bill. This bill is currently being drafted by a parliamentary ad-hoc committee – which is due to finish its work by the end of March 2021. Once it makes its recommendation, presumably for the content of the bill that is being put out for public comment, then parliament will be able to adopt it very swiftly.
First, the National Assembly will need to pass it by a two-thirds majority. Then it will go to the National Council of Provinces, where it will need the votes of six out of nine provinces. That bill, once enacted, will allow for nil compensation on the expropriation of both land and the improvements on it. It will also impart parliament to adopt any number of further statutes, by ordinary majority, in which they will set out the circumstances in which nil compensation should apply. In other words, we'll be giving our legislature a blank cheque, to decide on any number of future instances in which we will have expropriation without compensation.
The second bill we have is one that is intended to compliment the constitutional amendment. That is the Expropriation Bill of 2020 – which is being put out for public comment by the Portfolio Committee on public works and infrastructure. The deadline for comment there, is the 10th of February. We have now little less than a month to put comments on that bill. That bill will also allow the payment of nil compensation on expropriation. It says, in five listed circumstances, but it also makes it plain that that list is not a closed one. So again, there could be other instances where nil compensation will apply.
On whether this could pave the way for government seizing any assets:
That's correct. The Constitution, Section 25 – in a provision that is not going to be changed – defines property as not limited to land. The expropriation bill has the same definition, that property is not limited to land. So it could include people's homes, business premises. It could include mining rights. It could give the government an increased way of gaining access to people's pensions and the like. So, there really is a matter of great moment here. Yet, far too many commentators are assuming that these two bills are concerned only with how to speed up – and hopefully improve – land reform. But their ambit is in fact much wider.
On the motivation behind this:
To my mind, the motivation is undoubtedly an ideological one that the ANC and its allies in the South African Communist Party and Cosatu have long been committed to a national democratic revolution. Which does envisage taking South Africa – by very slow and incremental steps – from being a predominantly free market economy, to one that is socialist, and in which the government has considerable ownership and/or control over all key assets. I think that really is the motivation. That land reform and the fact that it has failed rather badly after so many years, is simply being used as the excuse, because of our very unfortunate history and the way in which black people were barred from land ownership in the past.
Land can easily be used as a wedge issue. People will see the need to speed up land reform, but once the laws have been put on the statute book, they will allow much more than land to be brought under state ownership or control.
On the alternative to the land expropriation bill:
Well I think we need to, as it were, unpack the various problems that we have. In the agricultural context, we need very many more commercial farmers. The ones we have are, generally, ageing and their families don't have a particular interest in coming into agriculture. So we need to extend the number of commercial farmers. There are sensible ways in which that could be done. But critically, those farmers must all have individual ownership of their land. If we go the expropriation route, then of course it is the state that will become the owner of the land. All it proposes is to give leases to emergent farmers. That's not enough.
People end up with very short leases, or in fact leases which go on from year to year and can be terminated on a month's notice. We need a commercial farming programme, backed by individual land ownership and a sort of blended funding arrangement, so that money from the government – from the private sector – can be made available. Then of course, there is a need for more land and housing in the cities. That needs to be tackled in another way, because the government's housing programme – in terms of which the state builds houses for poor people – has increasingly been bogged down also, with corruption and inefficiency.
But it's also generated such a huge demand for housing. There's an incentive in households to split up, so that more and more people can claim a free house from the government. We now have a longer waiting list than we did at the beginning of this programme, 26 years ago. Again, we need private sector solutions. We need the government to make land available, then partner with the private sector to service that land. We've recommended that the government divide up much of the badly used housing budget and make it available to people who are poor – in the form of housing vouchers, to be used solely for housing expenditure.
On what South Africa may look like if these bills are passed:
I think there is a risk of land grabs, once the constitution is changed, to say that the government has the right to take land without compensation. I think it certainly will be seen by organisations like the EFF as the reason to step up what they are already doing – which is to call on people to occupy land which is owned by others – which might not be already occupied by either a private individual or a municipality. But very often, the land that is not occupied is needed. For example, in the Western Cape there's been a spate of land invasions. So much so, that I think the Western Cape authorities have been called on to bring down about 55,000 illegal structures that have been put up in the period over lockdown. Some of these have been erected on land which is urgently needed for infrastructure purposes.
For example, to improve the water supply to parts of Khayelitsha. Even though you might have land which is vacant, it's not unimportant. it is, of course, somebody else's asset. The moment you have land invasions being encouraged, you are immediately eroding the value of land. You're making it increasingly difficult, for land owners to protect themselves. If you think about the millions of black South Africans who do now have an informal form of title to their homes – sometimes they do actually have title deeds – but if adjacent land can be invaded, then they will nevertheless find their property values being eroded. They will find that new incomers want to take advantage of electricity and water, which is being supplied to their homes which they're paying for. They'll be in a worse position.
But critically, what we will be signalling to the entire world is that property rights in South Africa are not secure. That's such a huge no-no to any potential direct investment in the country. This of course, is just assuming that what we see is the kind of informal self-help arrangement. What we could also see is massive intervention by the government itself. We know that what the EFF has been calling for is for the government to take custodianship of all the land. There was a bill put forward by the ANC in 2014, in which the plan was precisely that the government would take custodianship of all agricultural land. When the land reform audit was brought out in 2017, there were hints then, that the government wanted to take custodianship of all land. That's what the ANC also said at a meeting in 2019. We have that risk, that the government – once it's equipped with these two bills – will simply be able to pass a law, by ordinary majority in parliament – which vests all land in the custodianship of the state.

Reissued, Extra Tracks, Remastered. Grave was one of those killer bands that were part of the Swedish wave of death metal, formed by 4 young angry guys with rage, talent and ambition, previously known as Corpse. Century Media Records was aware of the possibilities and potential of the group and offered them a record deal; I'm sure nobody could expect the amazing result of their first long-play, probably the most brutal debut in the history of metal. Welcome to the grave.
Yes, this is the legendary Grave album you keep hearing about. As most of you know, 1991 was a major hotspot for the death metal genre, especially when it comes to bands' debuts. Although Cannibal Corpse's Butchered at Birth outshined Into the Grave as being the single most brutal album of 1991, the sheer brutality of this record shouldn't be left unheard and unrecognized. This is an ESSENTIAL for anyone who even WANTS to say that they know shit about the history of one of the greatest musical genres in history. Out Of Respect For The Dead, 2015.

New British Sign Language courses on Zoom
A NEW initiative to encourage more voluntary groups, charities and volunteers to take up sign language as an extra language and skill, is now available locally. The Signs4Life scheme is to help people to communicate and engage with vulnerable service users, members of the public, and colleagues, who may be hard of hearing.
Radiyya Jahan, Signs4Life partnerships officer, explains..
"There are more than nine million hard of hearing people registered in the UK. We have already worked with social workers, housing staff, teachers, the local NHS, and Royal Mail. We wanted to open our programs to the general public, who might also have an interest in learning sign language. We are offering a community 6-week BSL program, which you can enjoy and access from the comfort of your homes, delivered through Zoom". Signs4Life is leading efforts towards a society in which people with disabilities have full access and are working to raise the public and political awareness of disability provision."

Conquer the World Chapter 269.1
Chapter 269: The Daoist Sect (Part One)
Last Page —— Index —— Next Page
Flagpoles, spears, and arrows.
Hundreds of weapons flew toward the Emperor who sat on his dragon throne, and they looked dense when they were close to the Emperor.
The Emperor didn't move as if he couldn't react in time, but the eight bodyguards in flying-fish robes moved like lightning!
The eight of them drew their sabers at the same time, and it felt like eight bolts of lightning flashed around the Emperor. The bright saber spirits flew around the Emperor like dragons.
After a series of metal-colliding noises, all the weapons that were thrown at the Emperor got cut into pieces.
Those eight bodyguards surrounded the Emperor like walls, and the Emperor's expression didn't even change. He looked at these assassins calmly without even anger in his eyes.
Su Buwei stood beside the Emperor, but people felt like they only saw those eight bodyguards. This eunuch was easily ignored by others as if he was invisible.
No one saw him flicking his finger, and a hole appeared in the head of the official of the Ministry of Rites who tried to kill Huai Qiugong from the back, causing this man to collapse onto the stage.
Those assassins who were disguised as the officials of the Ministry of Rites came here with Deputy Pei Hui of the Ministry of Rites, and they fell into a passive situation after killing a few royal guards on the outside.
Those golden-hammer guards quickly took out roped hooks from their pockets and tossed them out.
Puff! Those roped hooks ripped into the flesh of those assassins, and the golden-hammer guards pulled them back.
Before these assassins could stand up, they were killed by those golden-hammer guards. Although there were cultivation masters among these assassins, they were killed before they could counterattack. It was clear that these golden-hammer guards that were supposed to be ceremonial guards were cultivation masters in disguise.
Those royal soldiers who jumped up and tossed their spears at the Emperor were quickly surrounded and killed by other royal soldiers.
This assassination attempt lasted only five minutes even though it looked fierce at the beginning.
Huai Qiugong was startled and looked toward the Emperor. Although he forced himself to calm down, fear could still be seen in his eyes. The Emperor beckoned at him, and he quickly walked over.
Pei Hui instantly paled after seeing his subordinates getting killed so fast. He didn't know that the people who Royal King Yi sent him were so useless. He thought that they could cause great chaos in the area even if they couldn't kill the Emperor, but those assassins got killed in a flash.
He screamed, turned around, and fled.
Two golden-hammer guards tossed out their roped hooks, and they accurately hooked onto Pei Hui's shoulders. Then, those two pulled on the ropes, and Pei Hui was dragged back like a kite. He was slightly luckier than his subordinates; these two didn't kill him right away. However, he was going to be interrogated, which might be worse than death.
After pulling Pei Hui over, those two golden-hammer guards instantly cut the tendons and ligaments in Pei Hui's wrists and ankles.
Then, one of them grabbed Pei Hui's jaw and dislocated it before tossing him to the royal guards standing further away.
The assassination attempt was put out so fast.
The Emperor looked at Huai Qiugong and said calmly, "Stand beside me and watch how I kill these rebels."
As soon as he said that, loud horns instantly sounded on the square.


The Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NCCI) has called on the state to widen the tax base to include those businesses that are evading taxes by hiding their true income.
NCCI has observed that most foreign-owned companies do not provide tax receipts and some even refuse electronic bank transfer which creates suspicions that such businesses may be trying to avoid declaring their real income to avoid paying taxes to the state the Chief Executive Officer of NCCI Tarah Shaanika has said.
"We have also noted that there are some foreign-owned businesses which still do not bank their income in local banks and appear to prefer keeping the cash. We suspect that such companies behave in that manner because they have something to hide to the Namibian government and we are concern that the government is struggling to increase tax revenue because the tax base is not broad enough," Shaanika said.
He added that these suspicions had been reported to the state on numerous occasions, but it is not acted upon or investigated.
Shaanika explained that many businesses face bankruptcy due to prolonged delay in payment for services delivered to the state as well as tax arrears which if demanded to be paid in full will threaten their continued existence.
"Yet, we have foreign businesses getting away with non-compliance to tax. We have serious doubts about the effectiveness of the tax amnesty announced by the Ministry of Finance as an appropriate tool to increase tax collections. This amnesty as introduced at a wrong time when most businesses are struggling and their capacity to pay tax arrears has weakened signally, and we doubt that the second amnesty will do the trick in collecting more revenue considering the economic hardships which define the business environment in Namibia at the moment," he said.
He further added that the state must rather consider widening the tax base hunt down those companies which hide to avoid income to tax and give adequate support to local businesses to grow.
Furthermore, The Villager reported that the Finance Minister Calle Schlettwein has adamantly stressed that he will not lift the tax amnesty deadline despite frantic efforts by the NCCI to negotiate the private sector out of possible legal consequence due to tax defaults.
Schlettwein is in overdrive to recover N$4 billion worth of tax revenue from companies the majority of which will be caught up on the wrong side of the law as the deadline comes. The NCCI recently held a meeting with the line ministry in a bid to strike a deal and find ways to which the cash-strapped companies can pay what they owe the tax man.

My WOTN! A "complete" Barolo, kinda out of a school book, that had it all: noble tannins, freshness and a first evolution into maturity. Huge layers of red berries, dried flowers, pipe tobacco, cedar and a bit of menthol. A touch fresher and more intense in the aromatics and tannins than the 1999 Rupestris.

Thank you so much! I have worked from both ends of a ball before but would just have to add another ball to get the third strand. Great tip!


Clustering is an unsupervised method to group multiple objects based on the similarity automatically. The quality of clustering accuracy is determined by the number of similar objects in a correct cluster group. The robust preprocessing process and the choice of cluster algorithm can increase the efficiency of clustering. The objective of this study is to observe the most suitable method to cluster document in Bahasa Indonesia. We performed tests on several cluster algorithms such as K-Means, K-Means++ and Agglomerative with various preprocessing stages and collected the accuracy of each algorithm. Clustering experiments were conducted on a corpus containing 100 documents in Bahasa Indonesia with a commonly used preprocessing scenario. Additionally, we also attach our preprocessing stages such as LSA function, TF-IDF function, and LSA / TF-IDF function. We tested various LSA dimension reductions values from 10% to 90%, and the result shows that the best percentage of reduction rates between 50%-80%. The result also indicates that K-Means++ algorithm produces better purity values than other algorithms.

'Be something bigger than what you are' Youth of the Year shares how she paved the way for her future
Gainesville High's Alexyss Smith has been awarded the Boys and Girls Clubs of Lanier's Youth of the Year. - photo by Scott Rogers
Alexyss Smith isn't the same person who entered the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier nine years ago. Back then, she described herself as a "shy shell" of who she is today.
During her senior year at Gainesville High School, Smith has not only applied and gotten accepted into 25 different colleges, she was also named the Boys & Girls Clubs' Youth of the Year.
"She's always been one of those girls who stands out," Antoine Nealey, unit director of the nonprofit's Teen Center, said. "A lot of our teens, they don't want to stand out. She is always driven and focused on what she has to do. She's kind of way beyond her years."
As a part of Youth of the Year, Smith will receive a $1,000 scholarship toward her education from the Duane Hinshaw Scholarship Fund. She will later go on to compete in the state Youth of the Year, which involves a $5,000 college scholarship and will be held virtually later in March.
While juggling her classes, earning a 3.8 GPA and applying to colleges, Smith turned in three essays, a speech and a 30-page form to be considered as the nonprofit's Youth of the Year.
"I work like I have no time left," Smith said. "They always tell me to slow down, but I never do. I just keep pushing no matter what."
On Feb. 5, Smith said her grandfather, who she calls her "real-life superhero," died while fighting COVID-19. As the father figure in her life, she said he inspired her to "always keep going" and find a brighter future outside of Gainesville.
"No matter where it was, I needed to get out and be something better than who I am," she said. "That was really powerful to me, and I'm glad I had him for the time I did."
In addition to her grandfather, Smith said those at the Boys & Girls Clubs supported her throughout her journey into adulthood. Growing up, she explained in her Youth of the Year speech that she faced multiple obstacles, including her father's absence in her life and being "violated" her freshman year by someone she thought was a friend.
"I felt disgusted with myself," she wrote in her speech. "I, like many other girls out there, didn't think it could or would happen to me."
Smith said she has been able to open up and share her emotions with those in the club, receiving the support that she needs.
"Yes, I have a blood family, but the club has been my second family for the past nine years," Smith said. "They've helped me get to where I am today. Without them, I'd probably be nothing."
This fall, Smith will attend Florida Southern College and study psychology with a minor in criminology. The senior said she aims to pursue a career in forensic psychology and one day open her own practice.
"Last semester, I took forensics, and fell in love with it," she said. "I already had the mindset of going into psychology. I like studying the mind. I put those two things together and made the ultimate love."
If she could give kids and teenagers any advice, Smith said she would tell them to stay away from joining a clique and "find yourself."
"Once you find yourself, you are able to move on and figure out your future, and what you want to do with your life," she said. "I want you to be something bigger than what you are. Be something bigger than Gainesville. Do not keep yourself in a box.

The Mental Healthcare Act, 2017, will make it difficult to treat patients, Dr Nimesh Desai, director, Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences, said.
At a discussion on the Burari suicide case held at the Indian Women's Press Corps, Delhi, Desai said that the Mental Healthcare Act, that was notified last month, has a provision where individuals have a right to give "advanced directive" specifying their treatment preferences.
"Now, this means that a person who is suffering from a psychiatric disorder, may say that they don't wish to be treated. There are several psychiatric disorders where patients are in denial and refuse treatment. In such cases, we won't be able to help them anymore," he said.
Desai said that the recent case in Burari, where a family of 11 committed suicide was one such example. In a case such as this, where one of the family member was suffering from a psychiatric disorder—but never received any treatment due to several factors including stigma, lack of awareness—the new mental healthcare law would make it even tougher for them to be treated.
"The new act is heavily influenced by the western model of mental healthcare. It is based on a rights framework, and gives the individual total autonomy over themselves. This means that I may be suffering but refuse to get treated because the law allows me to do so," he said.
According to the new law, in such cases, Desai said that even if a doctor, or the patient's family, felt that treatment was necessary they would have to approach a Mental Health Review Board to get permission. This would further prevent patients from receiving treatment.
Desai also said that while the new law had its positives such as the clause that decriminalises suicide, issues pertaining to advance directives and the five-member review board would pose a challenge in its implementation.
"We are aping the West when it comes to mental healthcare. In the US and the UK, there is over-psychiatry. People turn to mental health professionals for minor issues. Now, such things are being unnecessarily promoted in India too by the pharmaceutical lobby and some psychiatrists," he said.
Those who really need treatment such as the mentally ill homeless persons, are still not getting treated.
