Sankofa Summit Addresses Issues Facing Men of Color
Galloway, N.J. – The third annual Sankofa Summit, an educational symposium about common issues affecting men of color, was held at the Stockton University Campus Center on March 19.
This event is coordinated by Stockton Director of Community Wellness and Health Education, Sankofa Founder, and Professor Jonathan Johnson. Johnson teaches the course "Black Men in America," and the Sankofa Summit serves as a showcase of the research his students collect.
The theme of this year's program was "Advancing the Achievement of College Men of Color," and each presentation explored a critical problem that affects college-age men of color.
"The agenda to help men of color is there," said Stockton Assistant Vice President of Inclusion and Wellness and Sankofa advisory board member Stephen Davis during his opening remarks. "Let's look at issues today and figure out how we can change them, and how we can plant the seeds for success."
Michael Forest, a counselor and mentor at Atlantic Cape Community College, underlined the essentiality of young men of color having mentors, often referring to the "I Am MORE" movement, which he founded and serves as CEO. I Am MORE focuses on creating positive environments for younger generations of color by offering housing, music and mentorship.
Gender Roles of Black Men in Family and Relationships
"Gender roles are society based," said Camryn Weaver, who was one of four presenters who led discussions of gender roles in the family and in relationships.
The importance of father role models was a frequent topic. Weaver, along with Kayla Miller, Kayla Rivera, and Ebony Fleming talked about how men are influential to their sons. Multiple people in the room also shared their experiences and opinions on gender roles for black men, discussing topics like paying for dates, making less money than their significant other, and how to be a father without having had a father figure growing up.
Shadirah McCrae-Drummond, a freshman student, hosted a presentation discussing early steps that can help establish success in an African-American man's future. She also stressed the importance of role models in a young boy's life.
"The people you surround yourself around have an effect and play a part in your success," said McCrae-Drummond.
Celebrities, such as Spike Lee, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sean Combs (P-Diddy), are all examples of black men who grew up in a struggling home but used their support systems to become successful.
London Shields, Marion Kitchens, and Crystal Black discussed the necessity of black men to care for their minds, bodies, and souls to ensure healthy relationships and a healthy lifestyle.
The Education Gap
Wellington Torres said the education system for children in urban areas is very different than in suburban areas. He said children in cities face barriers like poverty, language, and less of a family structure in some cases, while suburban children have school-ready attitudes influenced by their role models.
The national average high school graduation rate is 83.2 percent, but Hispanic and African-American students graduating high school fall below the national average.
"In 2015, the Hispanic community graduated at a rate of 77.8% and the African-American community graduated at a rate of 74.6%, both below the national average," said Torres.
Families getting more involved is one of his solutions, as well as more celebrities of color involving themselves by giving back to urban communities. He also encouraged more schools like Stockton to allow students to apply without submitting SAT scores.
Ahmad Shepherd-Sloan and Quentin Jennings also examined black graduation rates in high school and college, and what those numbers mean. High school graduation rates have risen, but college graduation rates are still extremely low, and Shepherd-Sloan and Jennings discussed different racial and social challenges that influence these statistics.
Enrique Rodriguez presented on the lack of minority men in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), presenting statistics and proposing efforts to help black men advance in collegiate STEM programs.
Adjustments for Criminal Justice Reform
Life after incarceration is challenging. Elaine Peterson led a presentation on the struggles people face after prison, including unemployment and homelessness. Finding a job can be especially challenging with a criminal record.
Peterson offered solutions, including assigning each person a social work type helper who can help them re-enter society.
"I think it's important to help them advance instead of leaving them in the dust," said Peterson.
Students Ryan Taylor, Tyler Groth, Paul Rosar, and Robert Murphy also discussed the school to prison pipeline, and how many young black males across the country find themselves in prison right after high school graduation. They examined different systemic practices and other factors that set men of color back in society.
Media and Racial Stereotypes
Anthony Davis explored the many negative ways the media portrays black men: as "thugs," violent criminals, animals, and everything in between. Davis also discussed the harsh consequences of such portrayals, such as the deterioration of self-esteem and difficulty acquiring jobs. Anaiah Lewis gave a presentation on the same topic later in the day, utilizing videos and other visual aids to exemplify the message.
Students Corinne Shustyk, Julia Garin, Kelsey Berlin, and Tiffany Reed reviewed the history behind racial stereotypes in the United States, and the effects these stereotypes have on black men. They also debunked common myths and stressed the importance of cracking down on prejudice perpetuation.
Jason Martin explored life through the eyes of a young black boy, covering everything from economic status to sexual orientation.
Kee Cooper presented on relationships men of color have with others within the household, and how they shape their relationships with the "outside" world. Cooper also highlighted positive roles men of color fill in the family and society.
Nisa Stockley, Khadijah Potts, Kayla Baylor, and Soraya Dezilme showcased their presentations in poster format, visually exploring ideas like "cool posing" and "the new evolution of black men" with photos and artwork.
Stockton Assistant Dean of Education John Gray was the day's featured speaker, and concluded the Summit with a candid presentation about his life as a black man, as well as his recently released memoir, Quitting Was Not An Option: A Journey of Perseverance and Resilience. There was a book signing following his lecture.
Johnson said that those who attended the program should realize they are contributing members in the movement to help men of color.
"When I first came to Stockton, I noticed a lack of [black] representation, and a lack of discussion as to how we can improve black lives," he said. "I wanted to create this event to not only bring awareness to black male issues, but to spark thought as to how we can fix them, and put those thoughts into action."
This event was sponsored by the Sankofa: Men of Color Initiative Advisory Board, students from the GAH 2350: "Black Men in America" course, the Office of the Dean of Students, the Wellness Center, and Africana Studies.

Acclaimed Fort Worth seafood restaurant Pacific Table launches spinoff
Feb 14, 2020 | 9:59 am
Sushi is one of their signatures.
The Gables Water Street mixed-use project in Las Colinas has snared an exciting new restaurant from an acclaimed chef: Pacific Table, the casual fine-dining restaurant from chef Felipe Armenta, has opened a location at 5238 N. O'Connor Blvd., #136, next door to Olivella's Pizza and across the street from Williams Square.
This is the second location of Pacific Table. Armenta opened the first location in Fort Worth's University Park Village in 2013.
In a statement, Gables Residential VP Darin Botelho says that they're honored Armenta chose Water Street Irving for his second location.
"Pacific Table is the perfect complement to our established high-end restaurants," Botelho says. "We know the community is going to love their food and atmosphere as much as we do."
Pacific Table joins an acclaimed roster of restaurants that includes Hugo's Invitados, Cork & Pig Tavern, The Ginger Man, Creamistry, Go Fish Poke, Pax & Beneficia Coffee, El Famoso, and Olivella's.
Pacific Table's cuisine is inspired by the Pacific Northwest, specializing in salmon, sushi, and oysters, and enhanced by craft cocktails and an extensive wine list.
It offers a comfortable upscale atmosphere, with a semi-open kitchen, horseshoe-shaped bar, wine room, and open windows overlooking Lake Carolyn, as well as a patio featuring a fire pit.
Daily features and menu favorites include:
miso-glazed or cedar plank salmon
East coast and West coast oysters flown in daily and shucked to order
sushi rolls including the classic California roll or the Pacific Style roll
Pacific Table executive administrator Leah Thomas notes that, while the menu spotlights seafood and entrees such as slow-braised short rib, they have something for those who don't eat meat.
"We even have a veggie burger for our vegetarian guests," Thomas says. "We make everything in-house, including our desserts.'
Pacific Table is open for lunch and dinner, plus weekend brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am-3 pm.
Happy hour is available Monday-Friday, 4-6 pm, and includes reduced prices on select sushi, oysters, appetizers and drinks. Reservations are recommended and may be made directly on the website.
Water Street Irving is a pedestrian-friendly project with 60,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, 316 apartment homes, green space, and lake views, walking distance of the DART Rail System, Toyota Music Factory, and the landmark Mustangs at Las Colinas.

Surrey parents encouraged to attend upcoming gang prevention session
Surrey: New Democrat MLA Rachna Singh is encouraging parents in Surrey to attend an upcoming training session as part of a new provincial school-based gang prevention program.
"Guns and gangs have harmed far too many people in B.C., and our government is fighting back," said the MLA for Surrey-Green Timbers. "These sessions offer parents critically important information about gangs and the violence they cause – and how to keep their children safe."
Singh said Surrey is one of 12 B.C. communities receiving training opportunities and a variety of intensive supports targeting students, parents, educators, law enforcement, and local partners through the $1.12 million B.C. Government program, launched March 12 as part of the Ministry of Education's ERASE (Expect Respect and a Safe Education) strategy.
The upcoming parent education session in Surrey will be offered Thursday, May 23rd at 6:30 p.m. at the Resource Education Centre Building, room 304, 14123 – 92nd Avenue.
Parents will leave with a greater understanding of what they can do to prevent their child from getting involved in gang activity. Topics will include:
an overview of the current B.C. gang landscape;
information on how gang members are recruiting; and,
what attracts children and youth to the gang lifestyle.
Presenters will also discuss what gang membership entails and dispel some of the myths and realities of gang membership, as well as offer warning signs and steps to take if you think your child has gotten involved in gang activity.
Theresa Campbell, president, Safer Schools Together said: "Education is a powerful tool that can help parents be able to identify early warning signs that their children are getting on the pathway to gang activity. These sessions will provide parents with practical and beneficial training that will support them to know what to do if faced with this circumstance that's unfortunately affecting too many youth and their families in B.C. today."
The new ERASE school-based gang prevention program is funded through $1.12 million announced in July 2018 by Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General.
Minister of Education Rob Fleming announced in March 2019 that Surrey is one of 12 priority communities identified by police and safety experts as those that could benefit from additional gang prevention support. Other communities include Abbotsford, Burnaby, Delta, Kamloops, Kelowna, Langley, Nanaimo, Prince George, Vancouver, Victoria and Williams Lake.
The provincial ERASE strategy offers services and resources to foster school connectedness, address bullying, and prevent violence in B.C. schools, and provides support to school districts during critical incidents.
During the 2018-19 school year, ERASE was expanded to be a more comprehensive resource, and will also focus on gang prevention, mental health and wellness, substance use, social media, and sexual orientation and gender identity.
The Surrey session is being provided by Safer Schools Together, the Ministry of Education's service-delivery partner for ERASE.

It'd be hard to find someone who didn't see the scuba diver diving through plastic rubbish video that went viral a few months ago. Reaction from this simple bit of footage was positive, with orgs promising to clean up beaches and companies seeking better ways for their plastic needs, yet the problem still continues.
Orca365 is a surf founded organisation working in Bali for some 15 years. Through this time its founder, Nathan, has seen the plastic pollution go from an annoyance on the beach to an overwhelming problem. Linking with Alison Teal to continue her campaign against single use plastics was a logical fit, and after two weeks of scouting the islands we developed a concept with a different spin to the shocking footage already shown.
The Plastic Girl series symbolises the planet being wrapped by plastic and the apocalyptic waste land we'll be left with if a sustainable solution isn't found for our plastic needs.

The move to curb excess capacity comes as domestic and international automakers in China announce plans to increase their production. Japan's Nissan Motor Co (7201.T) and Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) have both announced plans to significantly boost production in China.
According to the draft rules, China's state planning agency is looking to place a limited ban on investments in new "greenfield" capacity to produce traditional gasoline-fuelled cars, as well as electric battery cars – unless a carmaker meets certain conditions.

Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine 89% Effective, Except Against South African Variant
By Joe Palca
Novavax released some promising news about its COVID-19 vaccine late today. The U.S. biotech company says based on a study of some 15,000 volunteers in the U.K., its vaccine was close to 90% effective in preventing COVID. Joining me now with more about this vaccine is NPR science correspondent Joe Palca.
Hey, Joe.
JOE PALCA, BYLINE: Hi, Ailsa.
CHANG: So tell us why this news is important, even though we already have two COVID vaccines that appear to work just as well, if not even better, than the Novavax vaccine.
PALCA: Well, they're really very close in how well they work. But even so, the - it's - the world - everyone agrees that the world is going to need multiple vaccines to conquer this pandemic. And this is an entirely different kind of vaccine than the ones made by Pfizer and Moderna. Those are the two that are in distribution now. It's a technology - the Novavax vaccine - that has a longer track record. And it's better understood. And it may turn out that that kind of vaccine works better for some people than others.
CHANG: Well, there has been concern about a more infectious strain of the coronavirus circulating in the U.K. Is this Novavax vaccine effective against that?
PALCA: Yeah, this is very interesting. So if you look at how effective the vaccine was against people who had the original strain of the virus, that was 96%, apparently. But if you look at the newer strain, it's 85%. So, OK, it's not as good, but it's pretty darn good. And it suggests that this vaccine will be protective against some of the variants that this virus is going to put out.
CHANG: What about the variant circulating in South Africa - any indication if it works in those cases?
PALCA: Yeah, that's a little bit more of a troubling question. The company reported on another smaller study in South Africa where the efficacy against the virus that's circulating there was closer to 50- or 60%.
CHANG: Oh.
PALCA: Now, you can look at that in two ways. Yes, it's bad, and it didn't work as well. But it wasn't useless. And you have to remember that there are years when the flu vaccine works less well than 60%. And so some people are encouraged that there is at least something that will work. And 60% - you know, people are still encouraged to take that vaccine...
PALCA: ...To take control of the flu. Sorry.
CHANG: Right. That's not considered terrible.
PALCA: No.
CHANG: I mean, is there any way this vaccine could be modified so that it could work better against these newer variants?
PALCA: Yeah, that's one of the interesting things about these newer vaccines. It's much easier to tinker them, design them so they're exquisitely tuned to the particular virus that they're trying to fight against - the strain of the virus. And in fact, the company says that it's already begun to make these new versions of the vaccine, and they should have one ready to try out even in a clinic in about two weeks.
CHANG: Wow. Well, how likely is it that this Novavax vaccine will get some sort of authorization for use here in the U.S.?
PALCA: Well, here is a ways off. The company is showing the data that it collected in the U.K. and South Africa to U.K. regulators, but they may also show them to U.S. regulators. And they may - under the circumstances, emergency use might approve them. In any case, they have a large study that they're - underway in this country which will involve 30,000 people, and they should have the results from that later this year. And they could use that to seek approval in the U.S.
CHANG: That is NPR's science correspondent Joe Palca.
Thank you, Joe.
PALCA: You're welcome. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

TBC Corporation Donates to Three Non-Profits
The company said it re-homed its office furniture with a replacement value of approximately $30,000.
TBC Corporation, along with many companies around the world, adopted new ways of working brought on by the pandemic. The organization took this opportunity to reimagine their office space reflecting a commitment to hybrid work and accommodating associates who work remotely, which provided an opportunity to re-home solid wood furniture – desks, credenzas, wall units, filing cabinets, conference room tables and chairs – which was donated to several local nonprofits, including Wounded Veterans Relief Fund (WVRF), Adopt-A-Family and Boys and Girls Club, the company said.
- Point S Reveals Ambitious '500, 50, 5' Growth Goal
- Pirelli Equips BMW i4 M50 with EV Tires
- BKT's Kershaw to Deliver Keynote at 2023 OTR Conference
WVRF was founded in 2009 and has built a history and reputation for placing veterans first. During October 2021 alone, the organization was able to assist 54 veterans and 107 of their spouses and children providing assistance for housing, emergency vehicle expenses and dental assistance across the state of Florida.
Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches' mission is to support families with children in their efforts to achieve stability and self-sufficiency by providing access to all-encompassing services. To achieve its mission, the agency provides an emergency shelter, 112 housing units, rental assistance, case management, afterschool care for elementary school students, mental health services, and job coaching.
Furniture was also donated to three Boys & Girls Clubs centers in Riviera Beach, replacing pieces that needed to be refreshed. Project Fathers And Children Together (FACT) is a Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County program that helps fathers become more involved in their children's lives and also helps to strengthen relationships in the community, the company said.
The donation aims to support TBC's corporate social responsibility (CSR), an integral component of the corporation and all business units spanning retail, franchise, wholesale, distribution and ecommerce. Delivering on one of the company's core values – leave everything better, TBC re-homed office furniture with a replacement value of approximately $30,000, the company said.

Walk-in service center relocates, creates inviting workspace
By Kate Hash
As it is well into the new year, you undoubtedly have already taken stock of your shortcomings and thought about everything you were going to do better: travel more, be more sociable, take some classes to broaden your knowledge. Well, so has ITS SASB South.
Center gets own designated space
This month ITS SASB will throw open the doors to its newly renovated space in the Student and Academic Services Building North. The trip from its former location in the computer lab of SASB South, across the courtyard to SASB North and into its own designated space comes as part of a greater Student Affairs project. Student Affairs relocated some student services into spaces that better fit the various departments' service needs and improve their ability to serve the student community.
"This move, at the very least, affords greater visibility for the valuable services provided by our staff," said Steven Smith, team lead of Walk-in Services. "It's not often that an idea of this magnitude is truly beneficial for all involved parties, but this is such an example."
Project required collaboration
Planning for the move started in spring 2016 and took more than six months. Multiple organizations collaborated across several organizations, including ITS, Student Affairs, Facilities Services, Student Wellness and ITS ResNET. Associate Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Christopher Payne was particularly helpful.
"The biggest challenge were delays in our timetable. Having little control over construction and planning can be frustrating," said Angie Potiny, ITS SASB North team lead. "It helped having a strong partner with Christopher Payne in Student Affairs, who stayed on top of coordinating with all parties involved."
Along with a new location, ITS SASB North received a head-to-toe renovation, including construction of a more inviting workspace, new paint job and new furniture, all of which will help increase client-tech support collaboration.
Educational workshops planned
"We hope to bring a more personalized experience with the new ITS SASB North location," Potiny said. "We want to do more programs to educate our customers on ITS services and how to be proactive in preventing computer problems."
Programs will include educational workshops geared towards teaching and exploring ITS Service Desk services as well as software such as OneDrive and Adobe Creative Cloud.
Preventative-use issues related to exams, holidays and breaks will be addressed in a more dynamic and proactive way through pop-up informational tables in the SASB courtyard.
"Please come see us when we open," Potiny said.


The group stages of the NIHL Cup competitions are all but completed, and we are about to begin the knockout stages of both the National Cup and Autumn Cup.
In the National Cup, 13 teams were entered into four groups with the top two sides qualifying for quarter finals.
Group A winners Solway Sharks will face the runners up from Group B. This will be either Sheffield Steeldogs or Peterborough Phantoms. The second qualifying spot will be determined in the next week or so after which the quarter final dates with Solway will be confirmed.
Group B was won by Hull Pirates and sees them go head to head with Group A runners up Blackburn Hawks. These two sides play their quarter final tie this coming weekend, on Saturday in Blackburn and on Sunday in Hull.
Group C winners Streatham IHC match up with Group D's second place side Telford Tigers. Dates for their quarter final should be confirmed in the very near future.
Finally Group D was won by Swindon Wildcats, and their quarter final opponents are London Raiders who were runners up in Group C. They play over the weekend of 13/14 January, with Swindon taking the Saturday home game and playing at Raiders on the Sunday.
The Autumn Cup is at the semi final stage with top two sides from each of two groups qualifying.
Group 1 winners Basingstoke Bison will play Group 2 runners up Hull Pirates, while the reverse tie is Swindon Wildcats v Peterborough Phantoms.
Swindon are hosting Peterborough on Thursday 11 January, with the second leg at Peterborough on Thursday 18 January. Dates for the Basingstoke v Hull tie will be confirmed and announced in due course.
All knockout ties are played over two legs and decided by aggregate score. Overtime and penalty shots will only be played in the second leg if the aggregate score is tied after regulation time.


I just noticed today that if i go to www.ntfs.org the default page that comes up is the 'Software News' section, when it usually was the 'Main' section. Is this something to do with cookies/user cp settings or is this site-related?
I just noticed it and put it down to my sleepy eyes. The first two software news story's appear at the top of the initial page, it then continues with the main news. Quite strange.
If he's doing what I think he's doing. Then it's just pulling stuff from all categories to the front page. Therefore if (like it is now) software has had more articles posted recently, they will appear at the top of the front-page.
Makes perfect sense - good idea.
It is something I have been considering for a while, due to the lack of news, its nice to be able to perhaps at least cycle the frontpage every day or two. I am also toying with some other ideas but I will let you spot those after they happen.
Oooh a game do we get hats?
yes, yours has a big D on it.

Steve Hoke and I have created a unique practical guide to prepare our longer-term crosscultural servants. This one-of-a-kind handbook orients these prospective partners to the journey ahead, with a strong, initial focus on spiritual formation. Each chapter provides mental road maps and tools for preparation, taking the first steps, arriving and thriving in another culture. Biblical and experiential insights from over fifty other intercultural resource people highlight the heart issues as well as hands-on ministry topics.

Steve and I are convinced that Global Mission Handbook is an indispensable guide for following God's call into global, cross-cultural service. It's the only handbook on the Christian market to help prospective workers navigate the topography between their "now" and future long-term crosscultural servanthood.

Joseph-Henri-Gustave Lacasse (February 7, 1890 – January 18, 1953) was a journalist, physician and political figure in Ontario, Canada. He sat for Essex division in the Senate of Canada from 1928 to 1953.

He was born in Sainte-Élisabeth-de-Joliette, Quebec, the son of François-Xavier-Onésime Lacasse and Annie Gernon, and was educated at the Petit Séminaire de Montréal and the Université Laval. He interned in medicine at Windsor and set up practice in Tecumseh. Lacasse spoke out strongly against Regulation 17, which limited Francophone education in Ontario. He became known as "the lion of the peninsula" for his spirited opposition to this legislation. Lacasse served on the town council of Tecumseh and was mayor from 1927 to 1928. He was married twice: to Marie-Anne Saint-Pierre in 1915 and to Marie Rose Lucienne Sasseville-Guilmant in 1948. Lacasse was founder and editor of three weekly journals: La Défense, La Presse-Frontière and La Feuille d'Érable. In 1952, he founded Imprimerie Lacasse at Tecumseh. Lacasse was named to the Canadian senate at the age of 37 and died in office 25 years later.

In 1944, Lacasse was reproved in the rabies fatality of an 11-year-old boy. Appointed medical health officer and acting as physician to the family, Lacasse did not administer the Pasteur treatment when the boy was bitten by a rabid dog. A coroner's jury criticized Lacasse for showing "a certain amount of neglect by not administering preventive treatment for rabies when the unknown dog could not be found within 14 days after occurrence of the bite."

In the industrial field, more and more high-voltage AC motor has been applied in high-power heavy equipment. But large AC motor will produce a large number of serious problems when starting directly. There will be a sudden sharp decline in the grid, which causes that other elec-trical equipment in the power system can't operate normally. This paper analyzes the principles and performance of step-down soft start and variable frequency soft start, and shows that variable frequency soft start is the best way to solve the large motor soft starting, with small starting current, big starting torque and starting no impact on the smooth.

If you were worried that the Supreme Court would finally strike down all of the Affordable Care Act now that the conservative majority has been expanded with the addition Justice Amy Barrett, I can't say there's zero chance that will happen does it look very unlikely at this point.
It's kind of a big deal when the chief justice of the court himself calls out the opposition for trying to use the court to accomplish what Republicans in Congress could not.
During yesterday's oral arguments, Chief Justice John Roberts bluntly said it's 'not their job' to repeal Obamacare even if the individual mandate is somehow unconstitutional.
"It's hard for you to argue that Congress intended the entire act to fall if the mandate were struck down when the same Congress that lowered the penalty to zero did not even try to repeal the rest of the act," Roberts, who voted in 2012 to uphold the mandate, told Texas Solicitor General Kyle Hawkins, who argued on behalf of the 18 red states challenging the law.
The chief justice added that he believes Congress wanted the Supreme Court to strike down the full law, "but that's not our job."
"Under the severability question, we ask ourselves whether Congress would want the rest of the law to survive if an unconstitutional provision were severed," Roberts said. "And here Congress left the rest of the law intact when it lowered the penalty to zero. That seems to be compelling evidence on the question."
Justice Brett Kavanaugh also more or less announced that he will vote against striking down the entire law.
Kavanaugh added that "this is a fairly straightforward case for severability under our precedents, meaning that we would excise the mandate and leave the rest of the act in place."
It's very far from clear how the court will rule and exactly how the majority opinion will be worded, but it occurred to me if the individual mandate is ruled unconstitutional that could be very bad news for any future attempts to establish a more universal health care system.
Obamacare may survive Trump's conservative court, but what other damage may they do?
We can worry about that another time, I suppose, and just accept a likely victory in the decade-long war to overturn all of Obamacare based of a handful of technicalities. The most recent challenge to Obamacare, you may recall, centered on the meaning of a single word in a single sentence; the word "state."
It would not mean the process they abused to take control of the court was for naught because Trump's conservative court will likely deal many blows to liberal democracy in the coming years and even decades, but it would be amusing to me if they went through all of the trouble and still don't get what they want on the biggest issues like Obamacare and abortion. Conservatives took it very personally when Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion to uphold transgender rights to employment under the Civil Rights Act.
For his part, Chief Justice Roberts has now presided over three failed challenges to Obamacare and I think we can infer that he's sick of it. Justices Thomas and Alito will undoubtedly vote to repeal all of Obamacare because they are immoral goblins who hate the world almost as much as they hate themselves.

Game Accessibility was invited by Link4All to attend a day dedicated to the development of applied games at TNO. Goal of this day is to redevelop the online platform for cognitive disabled persons in The Netherlands.

Serious gaming, e-learning, exergaming and more
The day is kicked-off by playing a game ourselves and we get to know each other through playing this game. We're told that applied gaming offers a new and unique learning environment, even in places where you don't expect tablets to be around like Sudan in Africa. Exergaming is a term for video games that are also used for excercise for elderly people for example. However, it's not always easy for the elderly to stay focused on the game and they can also get bored in the end.

Learning whilst playing
Jeroen van Mastrigt is specialized on the topic of gaming and design and tells us that from every game you'll learn something. However it's not always certain if you can also apply the knowledge you've learned in real life. You probably won't drive a tank everyday like you do when playing Battlefield or fly a Boeing 747 from Seatlle to Honolulu. Games give you the opportunity to learn in a fun way. You can see our other articles to learn more about gaming and the place it takes within our lives.
An applied game we played that day about synchromodality
However, he also tells that games are fun because they are well developed. If game design is very poor its unlikely it will be a success. During the session that followed we designed our own game for cognitive disabled persons which was based on something that already exists. Most games are a success because of that fact. Change is coming however, see the game No man's sky for example(dutch article).
Lobbying for accessibility
Jeroen also tells us that most games are property of large game companies, like Tetris is the property of Nintendo. In order to make that game accessible for a larger group of people who are disabled, we have to ask Nintendo if that's possible and under what conditions. That's exactly what we're planning to do here at Game Accessibility. Everyone needs to be able to play a game, regardless of their disability.

According to Helibron and Seidel (2011) nuclear medicine began as a simple experiment in the early twentieth century by George de Hevesy. De Hevesy started the experiment by deciding to test the effects of radiation on living things, beginning with bean plants, then onto furred animals, and then continued onto finding the effects of radiation on the human body, when he did this he became the first person to ever use radiation on a human being. He along with his partner E. Hofer, in 1931, consumed Deuterium which they had diluted with tea and found that traces of radioactivity stayed within their bodies for between eight to eighteen days. This was the first known use of radiation on humans (p. 1). This was just the beginning though, as time moved on the use of nuclear energy advanced and as it advanced it began to bleed into more subjects than those that it had been used in before, such as, nuclear medicine. Although it has its drawbacks, such as nuclear waste, there are many different benefits to nuclear medicine. Examples of such would be advances in therapy and treatment of diseases, such as the cancer, a different example is the new medical devices used to treat and detect the diseases that were virtually undetectable before. Amazingly all of this started before the government started experimenting with the Atomic Bombs.

Finally on 22 December 2016 Pakistan's Cabinet acceded to The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of Child Abduction 1980 and on 1 March 2017 Pakistan became the 96th signatory to this treaty. Pakistan has been seen in the past as a safe haven where children from Europe, USA and the rest of the world are taken by their parents or relatives without the risk of an immediate court ordered return. In signing the convention and becoming the first South Asian signatory and only the fourth Muslim Country to be a signatory. Pakistan is taking a huge step toward international cooperation on child abduction matters and brings Pakistan into the modern forum for international children disputes and sitting an example to other nations.
This Child Convention is a multilateral treaty developed by the Hague Conference on private international law (HCCH) that provides a quick method to return an internationally abducted child by a parent from member country to another.
Previously, if a child has been abducted from abroad to Pakistan the left behind parent had no option but to initiate legal proceedings in Pakistan, where the law and procedure is very different in nature to Hague Convention, and the process is extremely lengthy. Earlier as non-signatory to The Hague, Pakistan was not bound by the international legal frame work that seeks to protect abducted children from the harmful effects of abduction and retention across international boundaries. Now onwards, Pakistan will commit to this Convention's protective provision to ensure the speedy return of the adducted child to his place of habitual residence without any legal and customary hitch as the child abduction convention sets out a process to help parents who seek the return of their abducted children. It further demonstrates that The Hague is quite compatible with diverse legal traditions of the world and complements the UN Convention on the Right of the Child.
This accession has open two main challenges for Pakistan. The first one is diplomatic and the second one is administrative.
Now Pakistan has to accelerate diplomatic efforts through our foreign missions with the world community for quick response to this accession. Pakistan accession to The Hague has not only been valued and supported by world community but also expatriate Pakistani Community as well. The UK is home to the largest Pakistani community in Europe .The population of British Pakistanis exceeds 1.17 million but EU member states do not have individual sovereign competence to do so and are not able to accept the accession of a state unless the EU first gives approval, and this will take time. This means it may be a couple of years unless the EU accedes on behalf of member states during which time the UK has to proceed in its cases as if Pakistan was not a Hague signatory.
This is a very alarming situation and regrettable as well .Many lawyers and legal practitioners find this procedural flaw deeply frustrating and note that lack of an agreement could cause suffering to the international children involved in cases linked to Pakistan. The UK would however be able to enter into force with Pakistan once it leaves the EU. There were similar long time delays between Singapore joining The Hague and the EU agreeing to enter into force with the country. The best option in this scenario would be diplomatic best practices. By giving exceptional importance to this issue based on profoundly damaging experience for both children and their families lived in Europe. The EU parliament can be requested to place this treaty on top priority for approval of member states.
Now on the administrative side, Pakistan must set up a system taking into account the procedural requirements of the Convention. There are two main steps that need to be taken; establishing a Central Authority and allied applicable rules and procedures in compliance with the Convention.
The Central Authority is established for the effective implementation of the Convention. The entire framework of the Convention is built upon the co-operation of Central Authorities to secure the return of an abducted child – to send or receive an application – cannot easily be taken without a Central Authority.
Pakistan has announced solicitor general its central authority in the ministry of law and justice division in Islamabad. Pakistan is a federal state; it may set up multiple authorities in its all provinces including AJK, GB, FATA and PATA agencies. Following the 18th amendment family disputes are a provincial subject now, therefore local and regional central authorities are mandatory. However it is vital as per Article 6 of the Convention to set up a central "central authority" to which applications should be addressed for transmission to the appropriate central authority of each province, responsible for administering individual cases under the Hague Convention for that jurisdiction.

Snaking queues at Robinsons day after news of closure
October 31, 2020published at 5:21 AMByJessie LimThe Straits Times
Markings on the ground outside the main entrance of the Heeren indicated that shoppers should stand 1m apart.
SINGAPORE - The day after Robinsons announced it would close its two stores at The Heeren and Raffles City Shopping Centre, shoppers continued to show up in droves.
On Saturday (Oct 31), even before the store opened at 11am, a queue of some 300 people had formed outside the Heeren store in Orchard Road.
The queue stretched past the Apple Orchard Road store next door, snaking around the empty space in front of the mall several times.
When the doors opened, shoppers were seen entering the store in an orderly fashion with many doing their SafeEntry check-in in advance.
Robinsons announced on Friday (Oct 30) that it would close its two stores at The Heeren and Raffles City Shopping Centre, as well as two stores in Malaysia. It said the appointed liquidators are in negotiations with the landlords in Singapore but it hoped to stay open "for the coming weeks".
The retailer, which employs about 175 staff here, said it plans to do its best to transfer them to other brands under the parent company, Dubai-based Al-Futtaim Group, which owns other franchises including Marks & Spencer and Zara.

Marketing manager Mr Kai Foo, who joined the queue outside The Heeren, told ST that he and a friend were here "for the fun" and did not have a shopping list.
"When we got off the bus and saw the queue we were in shock," the 30-year-old said.
He plans to check out the Men's Wear section on the fourth level to see if he can find Jeffery West shoes which he believes can only be found locally in Robinsons.
About half the shelves in the Ladies Shoes section on the second level of the Heeren outlet were empty when ST visited at 11.30am.
Shortly after Robinsons said on Friday (Oct 30) it will be closing its two remaining stores, promoters were seen packing up their goods to send back to their warehouses after they were told to do so by the brands that hired them.
[[nid:507141]]
Ms Winnie Teo, 35, who is a promoter with bedsheet retailer Uneo ekohome was at The Heeren this morning with two drivers to pack up her brand's remaining stock which will be delivered to their warehouse.
Ms Teo, who has spent 10 years working in various Robinsons outlets said that rumors were already swirling amongst promoters about the impending closure of the stores two months ago.
She is not worried that she will be out of a job as her supervisor confirmed yesterday that affected staff will be redeployed to other retailers which stock the brand's products.
"We started packing up the bedsheets at about 5pm yesterday. By then, many customers had already bought four to five sets of bedding each," she said.
Even on Saturday, shoppers were not deterred, with as many as 30 people queueing at the cashier on the second storey to make payment for their purchases.

The garlic is harvested and drying, the new record is in the final stages of production and my medical situation is finally moving in a positive direction after of year of back sliding. Not sure what the words are to express what I've been through the past 12 months but they would include both awesome and horrific. The past six months were especially challenging. I got very sick and just couldn't get treatment. After six solid months slugging it out with my insurance company I gave up and applied for a patient assistance program with a drug company called Viekira. They accepted my application and were generous enough to give me a free ride ($90,000) for their new Hepatitis C treatment. It takes three months of meds and testing and as of this blog it's been one month and I feel like a different person. Nearly human again. The whole time I was dealing with all that I was launching the Kickstarter Campaign and then started making the new record. Unfortunately I was also losing the battle to save my teeth from some serious infection. It's been a very difficult transition, especially in the middle of producing and managing a very ambitious recording project. I'm doing the bulk of the work in my home studio and sick or not I had to show up every day and put in 10 or 12 hours to keep up with the work and that schedule will continue through August. I'd hoped for a mid summer release, but now it makes more sense to release in the fall. I'm very happy with the record so far. The guest list has shifted a bit from the original one, but is still stellar. I was able to bring a remote recording rig to the Woody Guthrie Festival and recorded several people in my hotel room every day and did another session on the stage of the Blue Door after a show. I've been posting rough mixes here on my Listen page. I've been so immersed in getting well, keeping the garden alive and finishing the record that I had to abandon updates, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm just one person and I can't do it all. When the record is finished I'll reenter the social dimension and beg forgiveness. I was able to go out and do some touring in July and was very relieved to see that i could still play, sing and put on a fun show. I hadn't performed live since early December 2014.
One of the founders of Red Dirt Music and a talented and witty friend passed away at the tail end of the Woody Guthrie Festival. Happy Trails to Tom Skinner. For the rest of us life roars on. Wishing you all a happy and peaceful summer.

In a world where we use the word love every day, why is it that so many don't have a clear understanding of what it really is? What is it all about, and how do we find a love that will last a lifetime? True love is more—so much more—than any book can capture, but there is at least one person who has lived it.
In True Love, author Priscilla Alan shares her story of one young girl's struggle to be loved and how she found the true love that changed her life forever. Searching for this love at even a young age, Priscilla would sadly find only abuse and neglect with the various relationships in her life. But through it all, she knew true love was out there, and she shares her story in the hopes that it will help others who may be in search of this same true love that she has found—the love of Jesus Christ.
Priscilla never dreamed her search for true love would take her where it has. Throughout her life, love meant many different things, both good and bad, but in the end she discovered what true love is all about—a love that she never thought was possible, but that is available for all of us if we believe.

Wildlife of the Philippines facts for kids
A Philippine eagle at Philippine Eagle Center at Davao City.
The wildlife of the Philippines includes a significant number of endemic plant and animal species. The country's surrounding waters reportedly have the highest level of marine biodiversity in the world. The Philippines is considered as one of the seventeen megadiverse countries as well as global biodiversity hotspot. In the 2000 Red List of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), 418 of the country's 52,177 species were listed as threatened.
The Philippines has among the highest rates of discovery in the world with sixteen new species of mammals discovered in the last ten years. Because of this, the rate of endemism for the Philippines has risen and likely will continue to rise.
Insects and other invertebrates

There are 612 species of birds found in the Philippines, of which 194 are endemic, three have been introduced by humans, and 52 are rare or accidental. There are 67 globally threatened species. These include the rufous hornbill and the critically endangered national bird of the Philippines, the Philippine eagle. The Philippines is also home to Tawi-Tawi's blue-winged racket-tail, the most endangered parrot species in Southeast Asia, and the Calayan rail, the most endangered rail species in the world, found only on a small island in the Babuyan Group of Islands.
According to the EDGE of Existence Programme of the Zoological Society of London, the Philippines has the highest bird endemic in the world. Six of the world's 50 most evolutionary distinct and globally endangered (EDGE) species are found in the Philippines. These species are the Philippine eagle (15th place, the highest from the Philippines), spoon-billed sandpiper (#19), black-hooded coucal (#22), Sulu hornbill (#41), Cebu brown-dove (#46), rufous-headed hornbill (#50). Previously, in 2013, when the list was up to 100, the various bleeding heart doves species found only in the Philippines and the Philippine cockatoo was also in the list.
A juvenile Philippine crocodile
There are more than 111 species of amphibians and 270 species of reptiles in the Philippines, 80% of the amphibians are endemic and 70% of the reptiles of the Philippines are also endemic. It is believed that there are not more than 14 of the 114 total species of snakes in the country are venomous. Several species of reptiles and amphibians remains undiscovered. Unfortunately, several of these species were believed to have disappeared without ever being discovered. The Philippines also has 50-60 endemic Platymantis frog species, by far the most diverse genus of amphibians in the archipelago.
The endemic freshwater Philippine crocodile is critically endangered and is considered the most threatened crocodilian in the world. In 1982, wild populations were estimated to be only 500-1,000 individuals; by 1995 a mere 100 crocodiles remained living in the wild. The recent discovery of a population of this species in the Sierra Madre mountains of Luzon brings new hope for its conservation. Projects were being made in an effort to save the crocodiles. The Crocodile Rehabilitation, Observance and Conservation (CROC) Project of the Mabuwaya Foundation is active in carrying out such projects.
Other unique and threatened reptiles include Gray's monitor and the Philippine forest turtle. There are two newly discovered species of frugivorous monitor lizard, the Panay monitor lizard from the island of Panay and Northern Sierra Madre forest monitor from north east Luzon, there are only three species of monitor lizards that are specialized frugivores.

The Philippines has about 330 freshwater fish, including nine endemic genera and more than 65 endemic species, many of which are confined to single lakes. An example is Sardinella tawilis, a freshwater sardine found only in Taal Lake. Unfortunately, Lake Lanao, in Mindanao, seems to be experiencing the country's most catastrophic extinction event, with nearly all of the lake's endemic fish species now almost certainly extinct, primarily due to the introduction of tilapia, which is an edible fish, for the expansion of the fishing industry. Other exotic species were also introduced to the lake.
Troides magellanus, also known as the Magellan birdwing butterfly
About 70 percent of the Philippines' nearly 21,000 recorded insect species are found only in the country. In addition about one-third of the 915 butterflies found here are endemic to the country, and over 110 of the more than 130 species of tiger beetle are found nowhere else. One of the largest butterflies in the world and the largest in the Philippines, the Magellan birdwing can be found here. The largest moth, the Atlas moth, can be found in the Philippines.
Crustaceans are very diverse in the archipelago. More than 50 species of freshwater crabs (in genera Carpomon, Insulamon, Isolapotamon, Mainitia, Mindoron, Ovitamon, Parathelphusa and Sundathelphusa) are known from the Philippines and all are endemic to the country.
Dendrobium philippinense
At the very least, one-third of the more than 9,250 vascular plant species native to the Philippines are endemic. There are, however, no plant families endemic to the country. The families of gingers, begonias, gesneriads, orchids, pandans, palms, and dipterocarps are particularly high in endemic species. For example, two-thirds of the 150 species of palms present in the country are found nowhere else in the world. 700 of the 1,000 species of orchids found in the Philippines are unique to its wildlife.
The broad lowland and hill rain forests of the Philippines, which are mostly gone today, were dominated by at least 45 species of dipterocarps. These massive trees were abundant to up to 1,000 meters above sea level. Other important tree species here include giant figs, which provide food for fruit bats, parrots, and monkeys, and Pterocarpus indicus, which like the dipterocarps, is valued for its timber.
A few species of Rafflesia are found in the Philippines, one of them being Rafflesia philippensis.
Philippine duck, Anas luzonica
Mindanao bleeding-heart, Gallicolumba criniger
Green imperial-pigeon, Ducula aenea
Philippine cockatoo, Cacatua haematuropygia, the only species of cockatoo found in the Philippines

Home » What is Post-Concussion Syndrome?
Hard hits to the head in any sport, including ice hockey and football, can cause mild traumatic brain injury, which is essentially how a concussion is defined. Violent shaking or the impact of a car crash can also lead to a concussion.
As if an injury to the brain isn't worrisome enough, there is also the possibility of developing post-concussion syndrome. Post-concussion syndrome refers to the persistence of various concussion symptoms long past the time of injury.
Researchers haven't yet identified the reasons why some concussion victims suffer from post-concussion syndrome and others do not.
Some researchers believe the syndrome is caused by structural damage to the brain or disruption of the messaging system within the nerves, resulting from the impact that first resulted in a concussion. Others contend that the causes are rooted in psychological factors, since a number of the most common symptoms are also seen in people with anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Both the physiological impact of a concussion and the emotional reaction to it can contribute to post-concussion syndrome. You may be more susceptible if you have a history of PTSD, depression or anxiety, or if you have significant life stresses, poor coping skills or poor network of social supports.
How long can Post-Concussion Syndrome last?
Most people who suffer concussions recover within a few months, but, for others, symptoms linger on. These varied symptoms are generally labelled as post-concussion syndrome, a poorly understood and often misdiagnosed condition that can greatly affect quality of life.
Post-concussion syndrome is a difficult condition to diagnose because its symptoms can often be attributed to other causes and may also be vague.
In making a diagnosis, your physician may consider your history of head injury and symptoms, conduct a physical exam and request a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan to check for any structural abnormalities in the brain. They may also attempt to rule out other causes of the symptoms, such as bleeding in the brain or infection.
There is no standard way of treating post-concussion syndrome. Your physician will provide and/or recommend treatment tailored to your individual symptoms. Everyone has a different mix of symptoms that occur with different frequencies. Education is a powerful tool in addressing post-concussion syndrome, because addressing the fears about the condition often help ameliorate symptoms.
If you have headaches, some of the medications used for migraines or tension headaches seem to be effective. Be aware that overuse of over-the-counter and prescription medications may lead to continuing symptoms.
For cognitive symptoms of post-concussion syndrome, time may be the best healer. Cognitive therapy may also be helpful, especially if it focuses on areas that need strengthening. Cognitive symptoms may increase with stress, so learning stress management techniques may lessen them; relaxation therapy is another option.
For cases of post-concussion syndrome that exhibit symptoms of depression or anxiety, the sufferer may opt for psychotherapy or request treatment with anti-depressants.
To improve quality of life, a course of physiotherapy may be suggested. Patients with post-concussion syndrome recover faster with physiotherapy than with rest alone, researchers have found (Schneider KJ et al. 2103). Physiotherapists may use various techniques, depending on symptoms. Manual therapy may calm the nervous system and acupuncture may improve sleep and headaches. Exercise therapy may help with balance and sensory reintegration.
There are no guaranteed ways of preventing post-concussion syndrome, but it is possible to take precautions against suffering a concussion in the first place.
Avoid motor vehicle collisions: drive defensively and eliminate distractions such as phone calls or eating.
Be cautious when playing sports: wear appropriate safety gear and avoid head collisions.
Avoid tripping and falling by keeping clear paths indoors: be careful of throw rugs, watch placement of pet dishes and be aware of loose flooring.
Educate yourself on concussions: be aware of risk factors, signs and symptoms, and how they can affect your health.
Your brain is precious – take good care of it and don't return to your routines until you are completely symptom-free.


This morning, we had visitors from the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) to deliver special 'Stay Safe, Speak Out' assemblies to Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils, as part of our PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Eduation) curriculum.
With the help of their friendly mascot, Buddy, they shared the message that all children have the right to stay safe. The children answered lots of questions about who they could talk to and what they could do if they ever felt uncomfortable. Classroom workshops will be taking place in June with pupils in Years 5 and 6.
