Twelve Indonesians Stand Trial over Sectarian Murders
Twelve Indonesians stood trial on Tuesday over the gruesome mob slaying of three minority Islamic sect members, the worst in a recent spate of hate crimes in the country.
More than 1,000 troops and police backed by water cannon and armoured vehicles threw a security cordon around the court in Serang, West Java, amid fears of further violence from the defendants' radical supporters.
Around 2,000 people held a mass prayer and chanted Koranic verses in a show of solidarity with the accused, who could face between 12 years in jail and death if convicted.
The indictment accuses the male defendants of crimes including "inciting violence" but not murder, even though a graphic video of the slayings has been widely distributed on the internet.
Islamic fanatics brutally murdered three members of the Ahmadiyah sect in West Java's Banten province in February, one of the most horrific in a long line of attacks on the sect in Indonesia in recent years.
Ahmadiyah, unlike mainstream Muslims, do not believe Mohammed was the last prophet and are regarded as heretics and blasphemers by conservatives in places like Pakistan and Indonesia.
A video taken by a sect member showed the crowd of more than 1,000 people push police aside and storm a local Ahmadiyah leader's house shouting "infidel" and "Allahu akbar" (God Is Great).
After a brief exchange of rocks, the mob overpowered the defenders and set upon them with sticks and stones. One man was filmed being stoned and clubbed to death as he knelt on the ground half-naked. The bodies were then violated.
Police officers fled the scene once the violence began, but returned later to mill among the mob as it destroyed the sect's property and continued to beat the corpses of the three male victims.
A cleric, Ujang Mohammed Arif, 52, is charged with masterminding the attack by inciting others to commit violence.
Arif sent another defendant, Endang bin Sidik, a phone text message days before the attack reading "please mobilise ulemas, clerics and Koranic school students to besiege Ahmadis in Cikeusik (village)," prosecutors said.
Endang forwarded the message to 62 people and asked them to gather at his house and wear blue ribbons on the day of the assault.
Two of the accused could face the death penalty if convicted of carrying sharp weapons under a 1951 emergency law. The law has traditionally been used against suspected separatist rebels, analysts say.

Jules Christ Eboue Kouassi (* 13. Dezember 1997 in Abidjan) ist ein ivorischer Fußballspieler, der bei KRC Genk unter Vertrag steht.

Karriere

Verein
Eboue Kouassi spielte zunächst in der Republik Elfenbeinküste in der Ivoire Academie, bevor er im Jahr 2013 nach Armenien zum FC Schirak Gjumri wechselte. Für den Verein spielte er ein Jahr in der Jugend. Im Januar 2014 folgte ein Wechsel nach Russland zum FK Krasnodar. Nach zwei Jahren, die er in den Juniorenmannschaften verbracht hatte, gab Eboue im Mai 2016 sein Profidebüt für Krasnodar am letzten Spieltag der Premjer-Liga 2015/16 gegen Amkar Perm. In der darauf folgenden Saison absolvierte er bis zum Dezember 2016 neun Spiele in der russischen Liga und alle sechs Gruppenspiele in der Europa League. Im Januar 2017 wechselte er für eine Ablösesumme von drei Millionen Pfund zu Celtic Glasgow nach Schottland.

Im Januar 2020 wurde er an den belgischen Erstligisten KRC Genk verliehen. Ende Mai 2020 einigte sich Genk mit Glasgow über einen endgültigen Vereinswechsel. Eboue unterschrieb einen Vertrag bis zum Ende der Saison 2023/24. In der Saison 2020/21 bestritt er 18 von 40 möglichen Ligaspielen für Genk.

Ohne dass Kouassi in der Saison 2021/22 ein Spiel für Genk bestritten hatte, wurde er Ende August 2021 kurz vor Ende des Transferfenster an den Aufsteiger in oberste portugiesische Liga FC Arouca für den Rest der Saison mit anschließender Kaufoption ausgeliehen.

Nationalmannschaft
Im November 2016 wurde Kouassi in den Kader der Elfenbeinküste für die Länderspiele gegen Marokko und Frankreich berufen. Kouassi kam unter dem Nationaltrainer Michel Dussuyer allerdings nicht zum Einsatz.

Anfang Juli 2021 wurde Kouassi in den Kader der ivorischen Olympiaauswahl für das Fußballturnier der aufgrund der COVID-19-Pandemie erst 2021 ausgetragenen Olympischen Sommerspiele 2020 berufen. Er bestritt die ersten zwei Gruppenspiele und das verlorene Viertelfinale.

Corticomotoneuronal cells (CMN), located predominantly in the primary motor cortex, project directly to alpha motoneuronal pools in the spinal cord. The effects of CMN spikes on motoneuronal excitability are traditionally characterized by visualizing postspike effects (PSEs) in spike-triggered averages (SpTA; Fetz, Cheney, & German, 1976; Fetz & Cheney, 1980; McKiernan, Marcario, Karrer, & Cheney, 1998) of electromyography (EMG) data. Poliakov and Schieber (1998) suggested a formal test, the multiple-fragment analysis (MFA), to automatically detect PSEs. However, MFA's performance was not statistically validated, and it is unclear under what conditions it is valid. This paper's contributions are a power study that validates the MFA; an alternative test, the single-snippet analysis (SSA), which has the same functionality as MFA but is easier to calculate and has better power in small samples; a simple bootstrap simulation to estimate SpTA baselines with simulation bands that help visualize potential PSEs; and a bootstrap adjustment to the MFA and SSA to correct for nonlinear SpTA baselines.

Point Loma Institution Red Sails Inn Restaurant To Shutter | Brigantine Restaurant Group To Take Over Space For New Concept Ketch Grill & Taps
Another San Diego institution is on its way out. The Red Sails Inn, which has been serving up fresh-catch seafood in San Diego since the 1920s (since 1957 at its current location) will close its doors at 2614 Shelter Island Drive in Point Loma at the end of August. The Brigantine Group will take over the space to open the first location of its new seafood and craft beer concept Ketch Grill & Taps.
Owned and managed by the Dargitz family for the past 25 years, Red Sails Inn has been in Point Loma since 1957, but the original Red Sails location first opened in 1935 at the foot of G Street & Harbor Drive in San Diego's downtown Embarcadero area. This turns out to be an ironic coincidence, because last year the Brigantine Group was chosen to redevelop the more northerly Embarcadero area where Anthony's Fish Grotto currently sits.
Post card of original Red Sails Inn location
The Brigantine Group opened its first eatery in 1969 and now has a dozen locations of its Miguel's & Brigantine restaurant concepts and employs over one thousand people. Ketch Grill & Taps is the company's new concept for a casual craft brew pub and seafood-centric restaurant that will open within the Red Sails space after an extensive remodel. Another location of that same concept will also be a part of the Embarcadero redevelopment project, set to begin construction in early 2017.
Artistic rendering of Brigantine Group's Embarcadero Redevelopment project
Brigantine President Mike Morton has indicated that the restaurant will give hiring preference to existing Red Sail employees and will consider leaving some of Red Sails' most popular menu items on Ketch's menu. The Red Sails space will officially change hands after close of business on August 31.
Ketch Grill & Taps is anticipated to open in Point Loma as early as December 2016.

'Devious' Royal Navy officer and 'sociopath' is jailed for stealing stepson's £58k inheritance
Tom Cotterill
A 'DEVIOUS' Royal Navy veteran – who lived a 'double life' as a respected businessman and EU 'ambassador' – has been jailed for swindling his young stepson out of his inheritance.
Iain Shepherd forged his wife's signature to set up a secret bank account to secure Joshua Powell's inheritance after the death of the boy's father, Stephen Powell – who had previously been 'a close friend' of Shepherds in the navy.
Happy families: Iain Shepherd, centre, pictured with his wife Mary and his stepson, Joshua in 2009. By this point he had almost stolen 58,000 of his Joshua's inheritance left to him by his late father.
Over a three-year period the disgraced Lieutenant Commander pocketed £58,895.78 from Joshua, who has learning difficulties and was only 10 when the fraud first began in 2006.
The 65-year-old's scam was only exposed a decade later by his wife, Mary Shepherd, after she became suspicious.
And now he has been jailed for three years and eight months after pleading guilty to fraud.
Speaking outside Portsmouth Crown Court with her son – now aged 23 – Mrs Shepherd, of Chichester, said: 'He is absolutely despicable. What he has done is beyond words. He is a heartless, callous, sociopath. He is the lowest of the low and deserves to be in prison.'
Iain Shepherd receives his MBE from the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William.
During his sentencing hearing in Portsmouth, the court heard how Shepherd, of Aldwick Road, Bognor Regis, had been bankrupt when he took charge of Joshua's money – £83,255.82 in all – in December 2006.
Within days the scheming Falklands veteran, who served 21 years in the navy, had transferred the money to a secret account under his wife's name, using a signature he had faked, and began siphoning off the cash.
Prosecutor Mike Mason said Shepherd transferred 'numerous' cash sums, ranging from £200 to £300 as well as larger amounts of £5,000 to accounts overseas in Italy, between December 2006 and February 2010.
During his crime Shepherd had been 'living a second life', running his own business, Marcom Defence, in Chichester, and acting as the president of the Chichester Chamber of Commerce.
He later became an EU 'ambassador of the sea', a job which saw him working with the European Commission on the continent's overall maritime strategy – a role which contributed to him being awarded MBE in 2015.
The fraudster's actions came to light after he was reported to the police by his wife in 2017, at which point Mr Mason said Shepherd admitted owing Joshua at least '£80,000' in payments and interest.
'He not only failed to safeguard Joshua's interests but he has taken his money for his own use,' Mr Mason told the court.

Representing himself, Shepherd vowed to pay back the cash by selling off valuable 'electrical components' he owned.
Speaking from the dock, he added: 'I apologise unreservedly to everyone that's been affected by this, which I'm truly sorry. What I did was firmly dreadful.'
Sentencing, Judge William Ashworth said Shepherd should have never been allowed to be a trustee having been bankrupt at the time.
'This was a clear abuse of trust,' he added. 'It was calculated with an aspect of greed.'
Shepherd, formerly of good character with no previous convictions, was jailed for three years and six months for the fraud and a further two months additionally for one count of failing to surrender on two separate occasions.
He was ordered to pay £19,497.70 in compensation.

Bus tours now heading into, around the Lehigh Valley
Trans-Bridge Lines is based in Bethlehem. (Express-Times File Photo)
The best of the Lehigh Valley is now on showcase for everyone to see.
Lehigh Valley Receptive is specializing in planning, pricing and operating group trips to the Lehigh Valley. They will package and sell tours to areas like Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton to tour and bus companies, as well as other groups outside of the area, to highlight local attractions.
"We feel the greater Lehigh Valley area offers so much to do and see," Tom JeBran, president of Trans-Bridge Tours, said in a news release Tuesday announcing the new company.
It is an initiative of Trans-Bridge Tours, an affiliate of Bethlehem-based Trans-Bridge Lines.
The Lehigh Valley Receptive handles all the planning as far as dates, attractions and hotel accommodations. They customize tours to fit tours for students, seniors and other special-interest groups.
"People are surprised with what great attractions, shops, museums and restaurants are located here," Janet JeBran, general manager of Trans-Bridge Tours, said in the release.
Trans-Bridge Tours offers single- and multi-day trips to places such as New York City, Philadelphia, Boston and Niagara Falls. But since the Lehigh Valley Receptive started in January, the company has worked with businesses in the Lehigh Valley to organize tours to places such as the Crayola Experience in Easton, Martin Guitar in Upper Nazareth Township, Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, Historic Bethlehem and the America on Wheels Museum in Allentown.
Mike Stershic, president of the tourism-promotion group Discover Lehigh Valley, called the Lehigh Valley Receptive an important resource to help draw visitors.
"I am happy that Trans-Bridge Tours stepped up to the plate and is offering this," Stershic said.
Janet JeBran said the Lehigh Valley Receptive was started after it was requested by Discover Lehigh Valley, ArtsQuest, Historic Bethlehem Museums and Sites and Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem.
"We are doing this to give back to the community we live in and help to increase tourism in the area," Janet JeBran said.

John Donnelly Fage  (3 June 1921–6 August 2002) was a British historian who was among the earliest academic historians specialising in African history, especially of the pre-colonial period, in the United Kingdom and West Africa. He published a number of influential studies on West African history including Introduction to the History of West Africa (1955). He subsequently co-founded the Journal of African History, the first specialist academic journal in the field, with Roland Oliver in 1960.

Career

Early life
John Fage was born in Teddington in Middlesex, England on 3 June 1921. He was educated at Tonbridge School and Magdalene College, Cambridge from 1939 where he studied history but his studies were interrupted by World War II. Fage was conscripted into the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1942 and was posted to Southern Rhodesia (modern-day Zimbabwe) as part of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan and was subsequently given several postings in Africa, including in Madagascar. The experience sparked an interest in African history and he began research in the field on his return to Cambridge in 1945 where he lectured on European colonial expansion on the continent. He gained a doctorate at Cambridge in 1949 entitled "The achievement of self-government in Southern Rhodesia, 1898–1923". T.C. McCaskie noted that Fage "was part of a generation that emerged from the second world war into the optimistic ferment that surrounded both African decolonisation and British university expansion".

Ghana and SOAS

In 1949, Fage took a post at the new University College of the Gold Coast in Accra, Gold Coast (modern-day Ghana) in West Africa which was affiliated to the University of London. Rising through the academic hierarchy, he published Introduction to the History of West Africa (1955, later re-published as A History of West Africa) and Atlas of African History (1958) and A Short History of Africa (1962). After Ghana's independence, Fage became Deputy Principal of the then-University College of Ghana and helped to establish the Institute of African Studies at Legon. It was said:

In 1959, Fage returned to the United Kingdom to take a post at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London alongside Roland Oliver with whom he collaborated on several publications. With Oliver, Fage founded the Journal of African History (JAH) in 1960 which he co-edited until 1973. The JAH was the first academic journal devoted to African studies in the United Kingdom and one of the first such specialist journals globally.

Birmingham and CWAS
Fage moved to the University of Birmingham in 1963 to establish the Centre of West African Studies (CWAS) which he directed for over twenty years. African studies expanded rapidly in the United Kingdom at the same time, and Fage became one of the founding members of the African Studies Association of the United Kingdom (ASAUK) in which he served as president (1968–69) before being elected an honorary member. Fage and Oliver were also general editors of The Cambridge History of Africa (1975–86) and Fage also co-edited the General History of Africa (1981–93) published by UNESCO. Fage also published A History of Africa (1978) for The History of Human Society series.

Fage chaired the United Kingdom National Commission for UNESCO (1966–83) and was a committee member of the International African Institute and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. His academic career culminated in his appointment as Vice-Principal of the University of Birmingham. Fage retired in 1984 and moved to Wales.  He was a joint recipient of ASAUK's "Distinguished Africanist Award" in 2001. He died, aged 81, at Machynlleth on 6 August 2002.

New Peace Activities
In 1928, Metzger again became more actively involved in the international peace movement. At The Hague international peace day in August of 1928, he interpreted the vision of peace in Micah 4:1–4 and, mindful of the experience of the latest war and renewed rearmament, called for every Christian to take a stand for peace and social justice and against the cause of the war, the lie.
At the War Resisters' International Conference in The Hague (1929), making reference to Francis of Assisi, he criticized rearmament controlled by capital, which inevitably leads to war. The Catholic press consequently placed Metzger in the ranks of Communists and Socialists. The Freiburg Ordinary reprimanded him sharply.
Metzger demonstrated political independence when he stood up for George Grosz, accused in 1928 of allegedly drawing blasphemously (Gefangenschaftsbriefe, 2nd Ed., 30f.). In the Christkönigsboten in 1931, he harshly called government and business to account for their response during the Great Depression. Metzger's critique of capitalism moved him to look toward the USSR, which he felt was distortedly in the West at the time. Despite all of his reservations about Bolshevism, he saw the Russian model as an alternative to liberate the masses from capitalism's inhumane enslavement.
The Christkönigsboten from that period also included radical antiwar articles by other authors. The Protestant Emil Fuchs promoted religious socialism in 1932. That same year, Metzger appealed to Pope Pius XI to keep the nations of Europe from the sure path to war (Für Frieden, 46).
Metzger's relationship with the "Peace League of German Catholics" on the other hand was filled with tension. He criticized the Center's stance toward the German policy of rearmament on several occasions. Metzger was nonetheless elected a member of the "Peace League's" national committee in 1929.

New footage of Kenosha shootings during riot paints a different picture
Joe Vaughan
The Post Millennial
Thu, 27 Aug 2020 22:24 UTC
Videos track the movements of Kyle Rittenhouse during Tuesday night's riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
A team of investigative journalists, videographers and writers from the New York Times has tracked the movements of the shooter Kyle Rittenhouse during Tuesday night's riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old native of Illinois, has been taken into custody for the shooting of three individuals during the riot. Two of the victims have been pronounced dead.
Rittenhouse appeared on multiple videos and photos taken throughout the night.
The teenager, armed with a semi-automatic rifle and carrying a med-kit, was seen early in the night and captured on film by Kristan T Harris, the producer and co-owner of "The Rundown Live", an online news stream.
Rittenhouse was then interviewed by Richie McGinniss, a video editor at Daily Caller. While standing in front of a burnt down, boarded up business, Rittenhouse told Richie that his job was "to protect this business" and "help people if there's someone hurt."
Later, Rittenhouse defended parked cars being smashed by rioters. He was told to leave the area by police, and was then chased into a parking lot several blocks away when an unknown gunman fired a shot into the air.
As a man lunges towards him, Rittenhouse fires four shots, one hitting the man in the head. One video shows what looks to be a Molotov Cocktail being lobbed at Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse allegedly phoned the police after this.
Rittenhouse is then chased down the street by a group of three men, one rioter yells "that's the shooter." He falls down and points his rifle and fires at the men. Rittenhouse fired four shots. One man, carrying a skateboard, appeared to be hit in the chest and fell to the ground. Another, who is carrying a handgun, was hit in the arm and ran away.
The man who was shot in the arm appeared in a photo today, Gaige Grosskreutz's arm appears to have been saved by doctors. His friend commented on a picture saying Gaige's regret is that he didn't kill Rittenhouse.
After the shooting, Rittenhouse walks towards the police vehicles where he makes a hand symbol (the symbol was perhaps told to him during his earlier phone call after the first shooting) and is let through their blockade as they go and tend to the injured.
Many in the establishment media have suggested the incidents may have been race-related but the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which tracks extremist activity, told CBS News that they found "no indication from Rittenhouse's social media footprint that he is connected to any extremist movements."

There's a reason why young men comprise the majority of armies.
There's a reason why politicians use young men as pawns in their conflicts.
All these lives manipulated and wasted for what?

Pretty good security guard and used self defense. I vote full acquittal. Antifa and BLM rioters will see more and more resistance for all the damage they continue to do.

Proud of the kid. Total grace under pressure.
The charges should be thrown out on a motion to dismiss by any fair court, but that can't be expected here.

Upcoming Bitcoin Cash Hard Fork
You might have heard about an upcoming Bitcoin Cash (BCH) hard fork scheduled for November 15th, so we wanted to let you know what it means, and how it will affect you.
TL;DR: Your BCH holdings will be safe. You'll be able to continue to trade through the event as normal. For a more detailed explanation, see below.
We do have an FAQ about hard forks here, but as a reminder:
What are forks?
A fork is a change in the underlying protocol a cryptocurrency is running on. Essentially, it's a change to the set of rules all participants agree on when validating and verifying transactions on the network.
What are soft forks?
Soft forks are changes that are backwards compatible with older versions of the software participants use to validate and verify the crypto network meaning that participants don't need to upgrade to new software to be able to keep participating. Whether they update or not, they'll still be able to recognise new blocks on the blockchain. Soft forks happen fairly often and don't generally affect users.
What are hard forks?
Hard forks are changes that aren't backwards compatible. So all miners (nodes in the network that collect transactions and organise them into blocks) need to upgrade to be able to participate in creating and validating new blocks. In an uncontested hard fork, all miners agree to upgrade and everything continues to run smoothly.
Where members of the community disagree with the changes, the fork is contested, so some will choose to accept the new protocol rules and others will continue to use the old protocol rules. This results in a split in the blockchain as one set of miners mine new blocks with the old rules, and another set of miners mine new blocks with the new rules.
One chain will essentially have more economic activity, hash power (the speed at which the mining devices operate) and support from the community and this will continue to be considered the main chain and 'original' coin after the fork happens.
Two things can happen to the other chain:
It will die out as miners and validators see the other chain has 'won' and abandon it
Miners and validators will continue to mine the other chain and two viable chains continue moving forward
In scenario 2, essentially another coin is created. This is how Bitcoin Cash was created (during a contentious hard fork with Bitcoin). The chain with more economic activity, hash power, and support from the community is considered the original coin and will continue to trade as such on the exchanges while the other chain is regarded as the new coin.
New coins
When a hard fork results in the creation of a new coin (in addition to the original coin), this essentially means that all balances on the blockchain at the point of the split are valid for the new coin as well as the original coin. If you were holding your original coins in a non-custodial wallet (where you're looking after your private keys), you could use your private keys to also 'spend' and 'send' these new coins. But there's no guarantee they'll be ever added to exchanges as an official coin to be traded or that they'll ever have value. Remember that Revolut is a custodial solution, so you won't automatically get the ability to access or spend any new coins created by a fork.
Revolut's approach to hard forks
As we said, your existing balance will be unaffected and safe with us - you don't have to worry. You can continue to trade it as normal before, during, and after the fork. If the fork results in another coin being created in addition to BCH, we do cover this in our Terms & Conditions but as a reminder:
There's always extreme uncertainty around such events, and therefore there are no guarantees that we will or will not support the introduction of new cryptocurrencies as a result of hard forks. But rest assured - we'll always let you know in advance if we plan to make any additions to the cryptocurrencies we support.
If you believe that as the result of a hard fork there will be two viable currencies moving forward, and you want to have the chance of getting access to the new coins, your best option would be to acquire BCH from another source and then hold your BCH balance on a hardware wallet such as Trezor or Ledger during the fork. If you decide to do this, please be really careful and do appropriate due diligence as, during these kinds of contested forks, phishing and scam attempts tend to be more common. If you do go for this option, remain vigilant!
If I leave my funds on Revolut during the fork, will they be safe?
Yes, your BCH will remain perfectly safe at Revolut throughout the fork. Although, it may experience price volatility. Our primary goal during this fork is to protect customer funds.
We're working on some nice additions to our cryptocurrency product as we speak so keep an eye on our updates in the run-up to Christmas.

Energy | Legislature
Last-minute bill would severely curtail ability of businesses to leave NV Energy
May 16th, 2019 - 1:23pm
Traffic streaks along Las Vegas boulevard on Monday, March 20, 2017. (Jeff Scheid/The Nevada Independent)
The ability for large businesses to leave NV Energy would be made much more difficult under a proposal introduced with only weeks to go before the end of the legislative session.
Introduced by Democratic Sen. Chris Brooks on Wednesday, SB547 would substantially alter the state's so-called 704B law for the first time since it was created in 2001, adding numerous new restrictions and requirements — including a new licensing structure, additional payments and more requirements for a departure — for businesses that already have or are in the process of departing NV Energy's electric service.
Notably, the bill would now require any business applying to leave the utility prove that such an exit would be "in the public interest" — raising the current bar of only having to prove an exit isn't "contrary" to the public interest.
Current 704B structure allows for large electric customers of the utility to file an application with the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to obtain power from another source, as long as the commission determines the exit isn't contrary to the public benefit and the departing business agrees to pay a typically sizable "impact" fee to offset any financial burden that other customers would have to pay.
The law was put in place in 2001 amid questions related to the ability of NV Energy to meet energy supply needs in the aftermath of the Western U.S. energy crisis of 2000 and 2001, and it was used by mining giants Barrick and Newmont to leave the utility and construct their own power plants. After a dormant period, the process was dusted off in 2014 and 2015 and used by large companies including Switch, MGM Resorts, Wynn Resorts and Las Vegas Sands to apply to leave the utility, but to do so by purchasing power from a third-party wholesaler as opposed to constructing their own power plants.
The number of exit applications swelled during the last two years — 13 companies filed to leave in 2018 and 2019, including the Grand Sierra Resort, SLS Las Vegas, Boyd Gaming, MSG Las Vegas, a building supplies company north of Las Vegas, the under-construction Raiders stadium, Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, Fulcrum Sierra BioFuels and Station Casinos.
But under SB547, exits would be much more limited and require several more steps before they take place.
The bill first requires that NV Energy include in its Integrated Resource Plan — filed every three years and detailing the utility's expected electric supply and demand — details on the total amount of energy that departed customers can purchase from outside providers.
It requires the utility to use a "sensitivity analysis" in developing its plan, one that addresses load growth, import capacity, potential strain on existing infrastructure and the projected effect of customers purchasing less electricity than the maximum outlined in the plan. It also requires the plan to calculate impact fees applicable to electricity costs paid for by end-use customers of the utility.
Under the bill, the PUC would need to determine several factors — including renewable energy development and furthering "safe, economic, efficient and reliable electric service" — when considering the utility's plan for how much electricity should be made available for outside providers to sell to departed customers.
The bill would also restrict the submittal of new exit applications to a 30-day period between Jan. 2 and Feb. 1 of every year, setting a 280-day period in which the commission would either approve the exit application. If no approval is granted, the business would receive an automatic denial; current law sets a 180-day review period and requires the application be granted if the commission takes no action.
It's in this section that the bill makes some of the most dramatic changes to the 704B process. The bill reverses current law — requiring the commission to grant an application if it is found "contrary" to the public interest — to requiring the commission to determine whether the application is in the public interest; a minor tweak in wording that raises and asks companies to prove that their exits benefit the public, as opposed to not actively harming the existing system.
The bill also requires the commission to consider the following issues before approving any exit application:
That the amount of energy and capacity required doesn't exceed the limits set by the utility set in its Integrated Resource Plan
Whether NV Energy will experience (rather than "be burdened by") increased costs as a result of the transaction
Whether any customer of the utility will pay increased costs for electric service or — in a new requirement — forgo benefits of a reduction of costs for electric service as a result of the exit application
It also removes the requirement for the commission to determine whether a company's exit application adds energy or capacity to the state's overall electric supply.
Such language, coupled with NV Energy warnings that approval of all pending exit applications would cripple expected electric demand for decades and cost the utility millions of dollars, essentially means departing the utility will either become much more expensive or procedurally much more difficult.
In addition, the bill expands the categories that must be considered when determining the impact fee charged by a departing company — including "identifiable but unquantifiable risk" to the departing customer, and ensuring that departing customers pay for any deviance caused by their exit from what the utility would otherwise pay under least-cost resource planning.
The bill also sets a deadline of July 1, 2019 for current pending applications to be approved by the commission, or else they will be automatically denied.
And in a change that will affect future and already departed customers, the bill requires any provider of new electric resources — the third-party provider that contracts with departed businesses — to receive a license from the PUC prior to purchasing electricity for any departed customer.
The bill also creates a licensing structure for the third-party providers, including requirements that they show the PUC evidence of their financial stability and technical and managerial competence in energy markets, while also requiring the commission hold a hearing prior to granting a license at which they can request information like past legal actions or consumer complaints against the provider. The commission is also granted the ability to adopt regulations requiring that new electric providers show that they have the ability to provide safe and reliable service, and to meet whatever electric demand is required by the departed customer.
The requirements for licensing will apply retroactively, so all companies that currently provide power for large Nevada businesses will have 30 days to register and receive a license from the PUC if the bill is passed. Such licensed companies would also be required to meet the same standards required of NV Energy to file an annual vulnerability assessment and emergency response plan with the commission.
The measure also includes provisions allowing the commission to adopt a process for a company that departed the utility to return to utility service, as well as giving the PUC power to limit the number of times a company can switch between NV Energy and an alternative electric provider.
Additionally, the bill requires any provider of a new electric resource to pay any mill taxes or assessments to the Public Utilities Commission that existing utilities are required to pay, and more significantly requires them to pay any costs or fees — determined by the commission — associated with programs for energy efficiency, renewable energy or other speciality programs paid for through a surcharge on rates. That change is important because the absence of those fees typically helps third-party providers lower electric prices beyond what is offered by NV Energy.
The measure also clears up several ambiguities in the current law, including expressly allowing new electric providers to sell electricity made through market purchases (something done in current practice but not clear in law) and allowing new businesses with more than 1 megawatt of generating capacity to apply to preemptively purchase power from a non-NV Energy provider. The commission has granted orders allowing some new companies to preemptively depart the utility, but has taken care to say the decisions were not binding in future cases.
The bill also contains provisions that essentially clarifies data centers cannot be regulated like a public utility — a clear link to the recent investigation (and subsequent lawsuit) by the PUC into whether Switch should be regulated like a utility.

A large detached studio house situated on a rustic finca close to Motril. It has a super king sized bed (can be converted to twin beds), a new double shower and bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen plus a comfortable lounge and dining area. Outside there is a private covered porch area and guests are welcome to use the roof terrace accessed behind my house, which is also within the grounds. A perfect stopover or a comfortable, private place to return to after exploring the local area. There is plenty of parking within the grounds and WiFi included.
The local beach is only 4km and is quiet and slightly wild. This area of the coast is not mainstream tourist land but there are plenty of chiringuitos to enjoy a welcome cool drink and tapa on Motril beach. Bigger tourist centres such as Salobrena, Almunecar and Nerja are all within easy reach if you want a change. Motril town, also only 4km, is a typical Spanish town and has many shops, restaurants and bars as well as a thriving nightlife. It is steeped in history and there are many beautiful churches and museums to explore. Summer is the time for open air concerts on the beach and in town, with everything from flamenco to jazz and classical. The Calderon theatre is a wonderful place to spend an evening too.
The port, next to Motril beach, has daily ferries to Morocco with or without your car. The house is easily accessible from the new exits recently opened on the A7 and this motorway will now take you to Malaga, Granada or Almeria in just over an hour. The Alpujarra mountains with their beautiful whitewashed villages can be reached within 30mins and are a delight to explore. The Alhambra Palace is under an hour, reached by a spectacular drive, and the ski resort a further half hour up the beautiful winding road into the Sierra mountains.
Painting and walking enthusiasts are in their element with some of the most spectacular scenery and mapped walking trails within easy reach.
All in all there is something for everyone here, just laying on the beach, hiking or culture - whatever your interests! I am happy to help or give advice on local information to make your stay the best it can be!
From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and at home. The detached cottage is atmospheric and very clean and comfortable, with nice furnishings and a very large and comfy bed. There is a sleeping area, lounge area with TV, sofa, table and chairs, a fully equipped kitchen and modern bathroom with a large and powerful shower. There is access to a washing machine and plenty of drying area.
Outside there is a large table and various chairs, sunbeds, a hammock and swinging chair. There is a wonderful roof-top patio with views of the sunset over the sea and mountains on the other side.
The host, Michele, who lives in a separate house on the property, is very welcoming and is a mine of information on places to see, where to eat out, nearest supermarkets, shops etc. When we were confused about where to get the best free tapas, she took us to one of her favourites and explained the menu for us. It was a lovely evening. Michele also advised us on the best beaches, particularly for snorkelling, and had beach umbrellas to borrow.
There are two friendly dogs and a cat at the property, who aren't allowed into the cottage, so no worries about allergies. They're well behaved and not pushy, so if you're not sure about dogs they're no problem.
Michele grows all sorts of fruit trees and veggies on the land. We were there in October and there was a constant supply of fresh, sweet, exotic fruits!
We had such a peaceful and relaxing stay and would highly recommend it for those who want something more than an apartment in a large block. It gave us a taste of what it is like to live in Spain, away from the tourists. We will definitely go there again.
Getting there: You need a car, and we easily found it by putting the coordinates Michele had sent us in advance into Google Maps.
Absolutely fantastic- Michele exceptional hostess-welcoming,friendly incredibly helpful and has a wonderful home.
Thanks Trevor! I am very happy that you and Deborah enjoyed your stay at Casita Azul and look forward to welcoming you again soon!
Nous avons été très heureux de notre séjour à Motril, Michèle est une hotesse chaleureuse et discrète, toujours disponible pour un bon conseil.
Le studio est charmant, propre et confortable dans un délicieux jardin encore plus fleuri que sur les photos.
Même si la ville de Motril n'a rien d'extraordinaire, sa situation géographique est idéale pour visiter cette magnifique partie de l'Andalousie.
The property is not easy to find, but that's about the only (and pretty trivial) complaint here.
About the apartment itself: It's comfortable, well planned and easy to keep cool during summer. The beds are comfy, the shower is spacious and the kitchen equipment leaves nothing to be desired. Sitting outside in the evening is the perfect end to any day exploring Andalusia. The impressive garden is really pretty and offers one or the other delicacy. The dogs are curious, well-behaved and very friendly. Just keep an eye on anything you leave on the outside table.
The location is a good starting point for visiting Granada, the Alpujarras, the Sierra Nevada or even Córdoba and Seville. Motril itself is 10 minutes by car, and offers a wide variety of shopping facilities, restaurants, bars and beaches.
Michele is a wonderful and very helpful host. She had quite a few useful bits of information on the surrounding localities for us and introduces us to a great tapas bar we would've never found without her.
I'd definitely recommend this apartment to anyone traveling Andalusia alone or in pairs.
Super séjour à la casa azul! Maison typique, fleurie, agréable on se sent comme à la maison! Le calme et la tranquillité sont les mots qui me viennent immédiatement. MICHÈLE est adorable présente pour nous apporter des conseils et elle est aux petits soins. Merci pour vos petites attentions (fruits du jardin)! Si l occasion se présente je reviendrais.
The area is ideally placed for easy access to a multitude of activities. The local mountains have wonderful hiking trails and scenic sea views ideal for landscape painting. The nearby alpujarras offer picturesque whitewashed villages to explore or sketch being nestled in beautiful valleys or perched on the mountainsides. There are 2 golf courses, tennis courts and gyms nearby if that is what you are looking for. The beaches are quiet out of season although enough chiringuitos open all year. In summer most local beaches offer watersports and beach sports such as volleyball. There are many beach bars and restaurants that come alive through the summer well into the early hours. The ski resort is 1.5 hours drive away, usually open from November to May, and is easily accessible for a day or weekend visit. The drive is spectacular! There are also the cities of Granada and Malaga, both beautiful and interesting just over an hours drive away. In short, if you look at the location of Motril on a map, you will see that we are not very far from all leisure activities which is why I love it!

Google For Jobs starts rolling out
Job hunting has always been one tedious job for job seekers, but Google is here to make this easy. With a new feature called as Google for Jobs, Google is trying to turn its search engine into an employment engine too.
No Need To Search Through Multiple Job Sites
With Google For Jobs, Google has streamlined the tedious process of job hunting. It has removed the need for the job seekers to search through countless job sites. All that one needs to do is type in searches like "jobs near me" and Google would collate all the relevant job postings from sites like Monster, CareerBuilder, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Specific Job Searches
Job seekers can search for more specific jobs, like "teaching jobs." They can also refine their searches by location, company, date posted, expected working hours, or whether the position is full or part-time. Google for jobs also allows the users to set up alerts. Google will introduce more filters and information to the Jobs search feature in the future.
View Employer Ratings And Commute Times
Google will also display employer ratings from current and former workers. It would also show the typical commute times to job locations.
Google Partnering With Help-Wanted And Employer-Rating Services
Google is also teaming up with LinkedIn, Monster, WayUp, DirectEmployers, CareerBuilder, Glassdoor and Facebook for job listings. So, the job postings shared on these websites will also be reflected directly on Google Jobs Search.
Feature Availability
Currently this feature is available in America only. Starting from Tuesday, job hunters in the US would be able to go to Google and search for Jobs. The feature is available only in English, on both desktop and mobile.
Google in its announcement post says,
"People from all walks of life, experiences and backgrounds have undergone a job hunt at some point in their lives. Whether you're a young adult looking for your first job, a veteran hoping to leverage your leadership experience in civilian life, or a parent looking for a job with better pay to support a growing family, we hope this new experience on Google will help make the job search simpler and more effective."
The results from Google.com/Jobs feature will aim to streamline the job listings by eliminating duplicate jobs posted on different sites. Hopefully this feature will be expanded internationally soon.

Cosmologists have detected curling patterns in the faint glow of the universe's oldest light that appear to be traces left by cosmic inflation, an exponential expansion of the universe thought to have occurred fractions of a second after the Big Bang, they announced today.
"If this result can be confirmed, then this is the 'smoking gun:' evidence that inflation did occur," says Brian Keating, associate professor of physics at the University of California, San Diego, who is a member of the consortium that reported the new finding. Jonathan Kaufman, a graduate student, and Angiola Orlando, a former postdoctoral researcher in Keating's research group were also part of this effort.
A long held belief by scientists that the universe began to rapidly expand at the dawn of time may have been confirmed by a telescope that UC San Diego helped build at the South Pole to study the earliest moments of the cosmos.
The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics announced Monday that the BICEP 2 telescope might have detected the aftermath of the "cosmic inflation" that they think occurred just after the universe arose 13.8 billion years ago in the so-called Big Bang.


If you qualify for the small business 15-year exemption, you can entirely disregard the capital gain and do not need to apply any other concessions. Further, you do not have to apply capital losses against your capital gain before applying the 15-year exemption.
If the conditions are satisfied and a capital loss is made from the CGT event, you may use the capital loss to reduce other capital gains.


Oily skin is a fairly common skincare problem many people face well past puberty. It's often caused by several factors, including diet, stress, climate, and genetics.
Oily skin is essentially what happens when sebum production increased, resulting in clogged and enlarged pores. If you're contending with oily skin, good news: with the right products (and avoiding the wrong ones), you can make your skin look less greasy.
For overall good skin health, it is crucial to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturise your skin daily (and, of course, don't for to apply sunscreen even on a cloudy day!).
One common misconception is that people with oily skin don't need to moisturise and that moisturising will make their skin even oilier. But in fact, not moisturising enough — or staying hydrated — will cause the skin to overcompensate and produce even more oil.
For your cleanser, look for something that has a lower dose of salicylic acid that treats acne without irritating the skin. It also helps clear up blemishes without drying out your skin, leaving it soft and smooth.
When choosing a moisturizer, look for ingredients glycerin and hyaluronic acid for skin hydration and niacinamide that evens out skin tone. Also, opt for an oil- and silicone-free formula that doesn't clog pores. Botanical blends rich in hydrating oils can also help to moisturise and brighten the skin, diminishing dark spots.
As oily skin is caused by clogged pores, exfoliation — the removal of dead skin cells — is essential for any skincare regimen. Glycolic acid are good exfoliators found in creams, lotions, and peels, that help to curb excess sebum production and prevent clogging of pores that lead to breakouts.
Sun protection, whatever your skin type, is a must. For oily skin, go for one that is hypoallergenic and free of oil, fragrance, and parabens. It should also be able to protect your skin against damaging UVA and UVB rays without clogging your pores. Better yet if it's water resistant and offers long-lasting hydration.
Retinol helps to "thicken" the skin, thus reducing the appearance of fine lines. It also works as an exfoliator to give you an overall smoother complexion.
For oily skin types, this is pretty much a hero product. The best products for oily skin are those that exfoliate, boost cellular turnover, and unclog pores. And retinoids not only reduce sebum, increase cellular turnover, and improve pigmentation, they also help to keep acne at bay.
Obviously, anything that is heavy and pore-clogging is something you want to avoid if you have oily skin. So steer clear of products that include petroleum jelly, vegetable oil, coconut oil, cocoa and shea butters.
Avoid also harsh scrubs that can strip the skin's barrier and cause the skin to overcompensate by increasing oil production. Look for the word "noncomedogenic" on the label — that means the product won't clog pores.

Winter sports begin with strict safety guidelines
Nathan Reish, Staff Writer|January 21, 2021
Kathleen Reish
Coach Matt Gallagher speaks to the Stroudsburg boys basketball team during a timeout in a 2020 contest.
After weeks of delays to the start of the winter sports season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mountaineer athletes were finally able to begin athletic activities on Monday, January 4.
Initially, tryouts for multiple sports were scheduled for Friday, November 20. Then, SHS shut down due to an increase in coronavirus cases. Everything, even in-person school, was halted until after the winter holiday break.
It was unclear if there was even going to be a winter sports season. In order to get athletics back, a lot of hard work was needed by administrators to ensure a safe athletic environment.
"It's been challenging, but it's also brought what's most important to the forefront," said Mr. Sean Richmond, Director of Athletics and Student Activities. "You have a lot of people who have worked together to help give kids the opportunity to do what they love to do and have as normal of a high school experience as they possibly can."
In the fall, athletes were able to compete without masks. Social distancing and many other protocols were still put in place to keep student-athletes safe, but one benefit to being outside was that athletes were able to breathe fresh air while competing. They were not faced with the burden of wearing a mask during competition.
However, winter sports take place inside. Masks become a necessary piece of equipment for all athletes to ensure safety. While they can be uncomfortable, it is what needs to be done to protect the winter sports season.
According to Richmond, the school sanitizes equipment after every activity, and foot pedals have been put on the water coolers to limit contact when hydrating. Athletes and staff have to complete health and safety forms before each practice and game, take temperature checks, and, of course, wear masks at all times.
While athletes understand the importance of masks, it does not make it any more comfortable or enjoyable.
"It's been really bad, and sometimes I can't breathe," said senior Sharisse Coles, a point guard for girls basketball. "It's not the best, but we are making the best of it."
No matter how uncomfortable it is to compete at a high level with a mask impairing one's breathing, it emphasizes safety during these challenging times. After all, every athlete is at the same disadvantage.
"I really didn't expect us to have a season because it just kept getting delayed, but I'm actually really excited that we do," said Coles. "It's our senior year, so we get to have a couple of games at least."
In the end, athletes are called student-athletes for a reason. The student comes before the athlete. This is because school is always the first priority, and safety measures need to be taken so that the in-person, hybrid and 4-day models are not disrupted due to a COVID-19 outbreak on an athletic team.
"We don't want to derail school reopening, and that's really the most important thing, getting everyone back to school," said Richmond. "Getting our kids back to school is going to be a beneficial thing for everybody's mental health, for their concept of being in a routine, and for their future."
As of January 18, 2021, home team parents and family members will be allowed to attend athletic competitions taking place in the SHS gymnasium. Each athlete will be allowed 1-2 family members to attend games, since the maximum capacity cannot exceed 5-10% of the gymnasium fire code. Students still will not be able to attend athletic competitions.
Though they may look and feel much different, winter sports have begun. A new season, a blank page, and a fresh start have arrived for all athletes competing in the gym, on the mat, on the range, or in the pool.

Fans of classic horrors Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness are being treated to another installment in the franchise this year and we confirm if the original actor, Bruce Campbell, is in Evil Dead Rise.
The installment was originally planned to release straight to HBO Max, however, the horror will now receive a theatre run starting on April 21, 2023.
Directed by Lee Cronin and produced by original Evil Dead director, Sam Raimi, Evil Dead Rise serves as the fifth overall installment in the horror franchise, following sisters who discover a mysterious, ancient book hidden in an apartment building that soon unleashes terror.

No, Bruce Campbell will not be in Evil Dead Rise, as confirmed by the actor back in 2021.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Campbell stated he would not be in the movie:
"I won't be appearing in it, no. I'll be in the upcoming Evil Dead game, which I think is due for February 2022. I just finished the voice for that. The nice thing is, your voice doesn't age as much as your body, so I can milk that for a few more years."
Campbell's character, Ash Williams, failed to make a cameo in the 2013 reboot as well, which is added confirmation that he will not appear in this installment.
Instead, the actor will serve as an executive producer on the fifth film.
Is Evil Dead Rise a Sequel?
No, Evil Dead Rise is not considered to be a sequel to the 2013 reboot, Evil Dead.
Instead, the film is a stand-alone narrative within the horror franchise, similar to how the Annabelle doll reappears in different people's lives but their story is not directly connected to previous ones.
There were originally plans to make sequels to the 2013 reboot as well as 1992's Army of Darkness and have them cross over, however, these plans were eventually shelved.

2006. Self-powered wireless sensor
Self-powered wireless sensor
The following information describes demonstration of a wireless self-powered pressure sensor.
Piezoelectric materials, vibrating machinery and rectifying circuitry was kindly made available by Advanced Cerametrics.
The goal of the demonstration is to show feasibility of creating vibration-powered sensors that do not use batteries for data acquisition.
The following image show the experimental setup of the demo:
In this specific example the energy was provided by a vibrating bimorph cantilever element excited by a small electric motor. The speed of the motor was controlled by a potentiometer. During experiments the motor speed was set to the minimal possible excitation level.
Vibrating bimorph provided about 40V peak-to-peak voltage that was rectified by a bridge circuit and stored in a capacitor bank of about 1000uF. Ceramic capacitors were used by ACI to minimize leakage currents. The max voltage on the capacitors was limited to 6V by a Zener diode. This voltage was converted to a 3.3V level by a linear regulator from TI. The regulator used in the circuit featured very low quiescent current (~3uA).
In the present incarnation the energy conversion circuitry has low energy efficiency, but still provides enough power to the sensor node.
The 3.3V voltage was used to power a WISAN node. Most of the time the sensor node spent in deep sleep (ultra-low power consumption mode) consuming only about 9uW of energy (or about 3uA current consumption). Only the real-time clock circuitry was active on the processor core, keeping precise time until the next sample of data. The data were sampled at 30Hz sampling rate.
The pressure sensor (see the following Figure) was of resistive type, made from carbon-infused conductive foam that changes resistance with applied pressure. The sensor was powered on immediately before a sample of data was taken and powered off immediately after. Duration of each sample (sample-and-hold plus conversion) was about 64us to minimize sensor noise.
The sampled sensor data were stored in the WISAN's node memory until accumulation of 100 data points at which time a single radio transmission by an IEEE802.15.4 MAC compatible software transmitted a packet of data to the receiver. The receiver node displayed pressure data on the LCD and transmitted the same data packet to the host PC via a USB interface.
The following figure shows the front end of the PC viewer application.
The following video shows the system at work.

Energy harvesting conclusions
In collaboration with ACI we have succesfully demonstrated an operational demo of a self-powered pressure sensor based on piezoelectric energy harvesting. The vibrating bimorph produced power which was sufficient to provide continuous sampling of the pressure sensor data at 30Hz and deliver acquired data via an IEEE802.15.4 link to the remote destination. The efficiency of the energy harvesting circuit can be further improved and give more energy for data acquisition and/or storage or allowing less vibration levels to power the system.

Security Council spotlights growing threat of drugs, organized crime in West Africa
UN Photo/JC McIlwaine (file photo)
Wide view of the Security Council.
The Security Council, deeply concerned over the increasing links between drug trafficking and other forms of transnational organized crime in West Africa, today emphasized the need to enhance regional cooperation and develop effective strategies to combat this growing threat.
In a number of measures outlined in a Presidential Statement, the 15-member body called on countries in West Africa and the Sahel region to strengthen border management to effectively constrain the spread of transnational threats, such as drug trafficking.
"To this aim, it encourages Member States and relevant organizations, as appropriate, to enhance cooperation and strategies to combat cross-border drug trafficking and to assist Member States of the region, as requested, to build the capacity to secure their borders against such illicit cross-border trafficking, including through the strengthening of national and regional systems to collect, analyze and disseminate criminal intelligence," it added.
The meeting was convened by the delegation of France, which holds the rotating presidency of the Council for this month, and featured remarks by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Yury Fedotov, and the Secretary-General's Special Representative for West Africa, Said Djinnit.
The latest UN estimates have found $1.25 billion of cocaine transiting through West Africa each year. In addition, a rising portion of drugs entering West African coasts use the Sahel route on the way to the Mediterranean.
"In a particularly disturbing development," Mr. Ban told the meeting, "West Africa is no longer just a transit route for drug traffickers but a growing destination, with more than a million users of illicit drugs. Rising consumption aggravates an already challenging public health environment and threatens socio-economic development," he noted.
Stressing that drug trafficking presents an enormous challenge to peace, stability, economic and social development in West Africa and the Sahel, he cited the need to promote a coherent, integrated and pragmatic international response, rooted in sustainable development and the full respect for human rights.
"Our aim must be to relieve citizens of the burden of crime, but also to lift them out of the conditions that enable crime to grow," he stated. "That means addressing corruption, poverty and the lack of essential services. It means providing better education, promoting the rule of law and expanding opportunities for women, young people and marginalized groups."
Mr. Djinnit said the UN Office for West Africa (UNOWA), which he heads, has worked closely with other UN entities to provide support to the development of sub-regional strategies to address cross-border threats such as drug trafficking.
"UNOWA will continue to work closely with UNODC and ECOWAS [Economic Community of West African States] to advocate for effective regional initiatives and to mobilize the attention of West African leaders and civil society on the threat posed by drug trafficking and organized crime," he stated.
Mr. Fedotov added that West Africa and the Sahel are particularly vulnerable to drug trafficking due to problems such as political instability and porous borders. The situation requires urgent action owing to the proliferation of arms in the region as well as to links between criminal organizations and extremists groups there, he said.

Humans are born with brains 'prewired' to see words
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Humans are born with a part of the brain that is prewired to be receptive to seeing words and letters, setting the stage at birth for people to learn how to read, a new study suggests.
Analyzing brain scans of newborns, researchers found that this part of the brain - called the "visual word form area" (VWFA) - is connected to the language network of the brain.
"That makes it fertile ground to develop a sensitivity to visual words - even before any exposure to language," said Zeynep Saygin, senior author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at The Ohio State University.
The VWFA is specialized for reading only in literate individuals. Some researchers had hypothesized that the pre-reading VWFA starts out being no different than other parts of the visual cortex that are sensitive to seeing faces, scenes or other objects, and only becomes selective to words and letters as children learn to read or at least as they learn language.
"We found that isn't true. Even at birth, the VWFA is more connected functionally to the language network of the brain than it is to other areas," Saygin said. "It is an incredibly exciting finding."
Saygin, who is a core faculty member of Ohio State's Chronic Brain Injury Program, conducted the study with graduate students Jin Li and Heather Hansen and assistant professor David Osher, all in psychology at Ohio State. Their results were published today in the journal Scientific Reports.
The researchers analyzed fMRI scans of the brains of 40 newborns, all less than a week old, who were part of the Developing Human Connectome Project. They compared these to similar scans from 40 adults who participated in the separate Human Connectome Project.
The VWFA is next to another part of visual cortex that processes faces, and it was reasonable to believe that there wasn't any difference in these parts of the brain in newborns, Saygin said.
As visual objects, faces have some of the same properties as words do, such as needing high spatial resolution for humans to see them correctly.
But the researchers found that, even in newborns, the VWFA was different from the part of the visual cortex that recognizes faces, primarily because of its functional connection to the language processing part of the brain.
"The VWFA is specialized to see words even before we're exposed to them," Saygin said.
"It's interesting to think about how and why our brains develop functional modules that are sensitive to specific things like faces, objects, and words," said Li, who is lead author of the study.
"Our study really emphasized the role of already having brain connections at birth to help develop functional specialization, even for an experience-dependent category like reading."
The study did find some differences in the VWFA in newborns and adults.
"Our findings suggest that there likely needs to be further refinement in the VWFA as babies mature," Saygin said.
"Experience with spoken and written language will likely strengthen connections with specific aspects of the language circuit and further differentiate this region's function from its neighbors as a person gains literacy."
Saygin's lab at Ohio State is currently scanning the brains of 3- and 4-year-olds to learn more about what the VWFA does before children learn to read and what visual properties the region is responsive to.
The goal is to learn how the brain becomes a reading brain, she said. Learning more about individual variability may help researchers understand differences in reading behavior and could be useful in the study of dyslexia and other developmental disorders.
"Knowing what this region is doing at this early age will tell us a bit more about how the human brain can develop the ability to read and what may go wrong," Saygin said. "It is important to track how this region of the brain becomes increasingly specialized."
The research was supported in part by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Analyses were completed using the Ohio Supercomputer Center.

Tripoli Government Resists After Russia, EU, UAE, Turkey Back Immediate Cease-Fire
After a cease-fire brought calm to Syria, could the same happen in Libya?
By webmaster | May 21, 2020,1:37 pm
A glimmer of hope appeared for war-torn Libya as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke on Thursday, May 21. The two foreign ministers announced that they had agreed on backing an "immediate ceasefire," according to Reuters.
After a March cease-fire in Syria between the two countries resulted in a state of relative calm in Idlib, desperate and weary Libyan civilians may be hoping the same could come true in their devastated country.
Calls for a cease-fire
Several other countries that are involved in the Libyan civil war have similarly expressed their wish for a pause in violence and the spiraling chaos of stalemates, reprisals, and minor territorial gains that have marked the conflict.
On Wednesday, May 20, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the UAE, Anwar Gargash, took to Twitter to affirm that the UAE's position "has been firm and clear and shared by the majority of the international community." He announced the UAE will back a comprehensive cease-fire and a return to political negotiations as "the only acceptable path forward."
"This crisis has been going for almost ten years; Libyans will not have the chance to create a stable or prosperous country until combatants aim higher than tactical territorial gains." Garbash tweeted, saying "these are mirages of victory and no substitute for a political process."
The statement followed a May 12 statement from the EU. The European bloc's foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell stated that "the European Union demands that all parties act responsibly and immediately cease the fighting all over Libya," while similarly calling for a resumption in UN-brokered negotiations.
The EU was responding to a report from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that highlighted the suffering the conflict has inflicted on Libya's civilian population.
Laying down arms
The Eastern Libyan forces, led by Khalifa Haftar, initially called for a cease-fire on April 29, to coincide with the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The call came days after Haftar proclaimed a mandate that was ill-received by his foreign allies, including the UAE, Russia and France.
However, the Tripoli-based government rejected the cease-fire as it was making territorial gains against the Eastern faction after having been under siege in the capital for over a year. Nevertheless, the advances made reveal a typical element of the Libyan conflict as they possess a temporary advantage that is anything but decisive.
The Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) appears to have lost some of its legitimacy in the eyes of international observers even as they have gained a temporary military advantage. While it makes advances against positions held by Haftar's forces, the GNA continue to be powerless in the country's oil fields that are the key to Libya's economic outlook.
Doubts in Tripoli
As the Tripoli government delays answering the call for a cease-fire, Libya's civilians continue to suffer. The GNA now risks losing its label as the 'internationally recognized' government as it appears to ignore calls from the UN, EU and even its important military backer Turkey. It is unclear how the GNA intends to continue fighting if Turkey opposes such actions.
As politicians and their aligned militias contemplate the sudden international pressure on Tripoli, the Libyan people remain the victim with little agency over their country's fate. Antonio Guterres' report to the UN Security Council on May 11 highlighted the dire situation that Libyans are facing as fighting continues.
The UN secretary-general report revealed how both sides had continued arming their mercenaries with more advanced weaponry in breach of the internationally-backed arms embargo. Guterres also brought attention to the 200,000 unfortunate people forced to abandon their homes in and around Tripoli. And, amid these factors, the coronavirus pandemic presents a looming and uncontrolled threat to all.
Delays increase suffering
The cease-fire is crucial to alleviating some of the Libyans' suffering ahead of the end of Ramadan. Pointless fighting over minor territorial gains have, since the start of April, resulted in nothing but pointless suffering. An attack on pipelines in Shuwayrif, that carry vital water supplies to remote regions, left two million people without water.
Similarly, the stability near the Tunisian border is threatened by continued fighting and natural gas supplies were hindered in Miratah and Khums making it impossible to cook Iftar meals. While fighting directly impacts the daily necessities of civilians, the continued closure of the vital oil industry means Libya has few resources to improve the economic outlook of its population.
With most of the world uniting behind a cease-fire ahead of Eid al-Fitr, the Tripoli-based government risks losing any legitimacy it had left. And, as the UN pushes for diplomacy on the economic, military, and political elements of the conflict, the offered cease-fire provides an unexpected possibility of relief in what has been a conflict devoid of hope.
