About their history. Encircled is a prog formation from the Midlands in the UK, they have releleased three albums: The Gun Has Replaced The Handshake (2014, see review), The Monkey Jamboree (2017, see review) and more recently The Universal Mirth (autumn 2018). The band began a few years ago when Scott Evans (bass, keyboards and programming) had been writing some songs and wanted to record them, the first call was to Gareth Evans (lead guitar) who had been in a band with Scott back in the early 90's called Epilogue (who were signed to Cyclops records). The hunt for a singer was a bigger task and unknown to Encircled at the time the band had been standing next to the solution at many gigs over the years. Scott and a music friend named Mark 'Busby' Burrows had chatted many times and at one gig they happened to mention they needed a singer and the rest is history. Singer Mark about that historical moment. "Well, I'd got to know Scott through basically seeing him at various gigs over the years (usually Marillion and other prog bands). We often had little chats about music and life and one day Scott casually asked me if I knew any singers. My response was "Have you looked at my Facebookpage ?", I had been singing and playing in various bands since 1986! I must have done something right as a few days later I received a CD of Scott's songs that he needed vocals for. That was my introduction to Encircled."
About their biggest inspirations. All members are fans of Genesis, Marillion, Pink Floyd and IQ. The personal tastes range from XTC, Duran Duran, Talk Talk, Crowded House, Depeche Mode, Simple Minds and U2 to Peter Gabriel, Fish, Roger Waters, Francis Dunnery, Geoff Mann, David Bowie and Paul McCartney.
About the music. This new album by Encircled is my first encounter with this band so I contacted them for information, and I read the reviews about their previous two albums, by fellow BM reviewer Erik Van Os. I agree with his conclusion that their sound is in the vein of Eighties Neo-prog, but I also hear strong elements of progressive pop on this new effort. Just listen to the difference between the first and second track. The start is with Log In : The Mystical Way featuring strong vocals and a climate that reminds me of Kayleigh from Marillion (guitar work) but also Follow You, Follow Me from Genesis (synthesizer flights). To me it sounds as progressive pop, very tasteful and well crafted, with excellent vocals. The final part of this track delivers short but awesome Mellotron choir drops. This turns out to be the bridge between the first and second track, because the second mid-long track entitled The Obsession begins with that awesome Mellotron choir sound. And now IQ reigns, with bombastic keyboards and propulsive guitar riffs, top notch Neo-Prog! Then the atmosphere turns into dreamy with tender vocals (strong melancholic undertone), delicate volume pedal guitar and soaring keyboards. Gradually the music culminates in more lush, loaded with voices (like "we are in danger'), a pretty compelling final part.
The other six tracks also alternate between Neo-Prog and progressive pop.
A slow rhythm with warm acoustic rhythm guitar and strong vocals (evoking Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet) and a Marillion-like guitar sound, the music is very song-oriented but in the end lush Mellotron choirs and synthesizer flights in Past Times.
A sound between prog pop and melodic rock with pleasant vocals and beautiful and varied work on the guitar in This Is Goodbye.
More music between pop and melodic rock with tasteful arrangements (from tender piano and a moving electric guitar solo to beautiful strings) in Smiling On The Inside.
Lots of variety ( from dreamy to bombastic eruptions) and a lush Neo-Prog sound with sensitive electric guitar and majestic Mellotron in the cynical 22 Likes.
First a sound collage and then a bombastic atmosphere with female vocals by Kym Hart that strongly evokes The Great Gig In The Sky by Pink Floyd in the short song A Fantastic Souvenir.
And finally the epic title track (close to 13 minutes), this is Encircled (here with guest keyboard player Pete Jones) at their artistic peak and an inspired tribute to the Eighties Neo-Prog bands Marillion, IQ and Pallas. From dreamy to bombastic, and from warm twanging guitars to sumptuous Mellotron eruptions, embellished with wonderful, often very moving electric guitar (between Steve Rothery and Michael Holmes). The vocals reminds me of Alan Reed but also Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran. The final part delivers a long and spacey synthesizer solo, with fine use of the pitchbend button, a Floydian touch to end a wonderful and varied composition, drenched in the best Neo-Prog tradition!
To me this new album sounds like a mature blend of Eighties Neo-Prog and prog pop: melodic and harmonic, tastefully and elaborate, topped with wonderful work on guitar and keyboards. But the main asset is singer Mark, obviously inspired by the known names in Neo-Prog, progressive pop and melodic rock. He manages to add an extra dimension to the compositions, with a very natural and varied voice. Scott mentions this about Mark. "We have gone a bit darker on this album. Mark has taken his lyric writing to a new level and really explored darker themes, all relevant to today's cyber security paranoid nation."
This to me is an album to discover, if you are up to discovering the boundaries between Eighties Neo-Prog and prog pop.

Q: Pulling old hotlinked images into imgur account We have a quite a few old posts with hotlinked images (they predate the SE imgur account). The problem with these posts is that the image at the original URI is beyond our control, and can be taken down at any time. What that leaves you with is an ugly non sequitur of an alt text in an otherwise nice question/answer.
Is it a good idea to automatically start pulling inline images in posts predating August 2010 (the ones that are still online, anyway) into the imgur account? That way we don't have to worry about potentially decent posts turning into this.
Note: IANAL, so I haven't really considered the legal ramifications of this. If you foresee legal issues, please feel free to point them out.

A: Not commenting on the legality of doing such (I'm not qualified to speak on such matters), there's no technical reason you couldn't edit the post yourself have imgur get the images for you in the process.
If you've somehow violated a user's right to that image in the process, we can always direct the concerned parties to the takedown notice subsection of the legal section of Stack Exchange.

Anne Arundel Community College celebrates 57th commencement
By Lauren Lumpkin

Graduates stand at their graduation ceremony at the Anne Arundel Community College graduation at the Event Center at Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover. The college was the first to hold a graduation ceremony at the event center. (Joshua McKerrow / Capital Gazette)
Officials at Anne Arundel Community College conferred 2,366 degrees on to more than 2,200 graduates Thursday — the school's 57th class.
Future nurses, architects and teachers crossed the stage in shiny blue caps and gowns. Commencement speaker and math professor James Messenger congratulated his students who balanced schoolwork with childcare. He praised a student who learned from his closed-captioned calculus courses. Messenger applauded a student who took an online exam from an Air Force base in Germany.
"You persevered and I commend you. Thank you for your commitment to excellence," Messenger told the group of graduates.
The community college is the first school to hold graduation ceremonies at the Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover. The County Council three years ago approved legislation that provided property tax relief to the casino company. In return, casino owners, The Cordish Cos., agreed to double the size of its convention center for county graduations.
The college held three different graduations Thursday; limited seating in the still-under-construction convention center prevented the school from holding one big ceremony.

Hilary Nester, 28, graduated in the last ceremony of the day at 7 p.m.
The Pasadena resident just completed the school's nursing program. Next, she'll take the state's license exam to become a registered nurse.
"I've always been fascinated with the human body and how it works," she said. "I love caring for people and taking care of people."
Nester credits professors, like Denise Lyons, for guiding her through the program. Anne Arundel Community College also helped Nester do clinical studies at local hospitals. The experience has helped her find her passion in the ICU.
"We are our patients' advocates. When we notice that slight little change in how you're talking to us or how you're acting, we're the ones that tell the doctor," Nester said. "It's really about being there for your patient and understanding how those slight changes can affect them."
Three valedictorians addressed graduates and guests — Mark Davis of Annapolis, Ember Hannesson of Severna Park and Esther Kuhnert of Bowie.
Davis will take his associate of applied science degree in architecture and interior design to the University of Maryland and Hannesson plans to enroll at Towson University with her teaching degree in elementary education/elementary special education.
Kuhnert earned an associate of arts degree in arts and sciences transfer – communications and associate of arts degree in arts and sciences transfer – liberal arts, and will continue her education at Union University.
Graduates Lars Kemp Bacwaden, Nicholas Hlavaty and Heather Verdin of Severn were recognized as presidential scholar recipients for completing associate degree programs within two years.

Tramadol 100mg is an analgesic, which means it relieves pain. The active ingredient in Tramadol 100mg is tramadol hydrochloride. The ways in which it relieves pain are not fully understood, though it is known to affect the areas of the brain which transmit pain signals.
This picture might differ from original product that will be delivered to you. This is totally normal because this is a mock up picture which is for demonstration purposes only. The original Tramadol 100mg SR differs from region to region.
Tramadol 100mg is well known painkiller prescription drug which is approved by FDA. Finding Tramadol 100mg online is like finding a water null in Sahara dessert. Tramadol 100mg is so accurate in results that it is one of the best severe pain medications of all time. In simple words Tramal SR is a pain killer or reliever. Please do not forget about how you can get buy Tramadol 100mg online addicted to Tramadol 100mg by using it without prescription. The drug usually is prescribed to the individuals older than 12.
Buy tramadol 100 mg online The recommended dose is 100–200 mg (1–2 tablets) twice daily, preferably in the morning and evening. Your doctor will adjust the dose depending on your pain and its response to Tramal therapy. Your doctor may prescribe a lower initial starting dose.
Tramadol 100 mg is an effective analgesic agent for the treatment of moderately severe pain1. Tramadol 100 mg is considered to exert analgesic effects by binding the μ-opioid receptors and modulating the noradrenergic, GABAergic and serotonergic systems, or by acting as a serotonin-norepinephrine (NE) reuptake inhibitor. Tramadol 100 mg in clini-cal not only can be used in general surgery, obstetrics, pediatrics and the treatment of oral surgery, as well as a variety of acute postoperative pain, is also used to relieve chronic pain, such as cancer. Because its analgesic action time is longer;its analgesia intensity decreased slowly, it is a relatively ideal drug for chronic pain medi-cation.Most common side effects of Tramadol 100 mg include nausea, vomiting, sweating, fatigue, sedation, and dry mouth8. More severe side effects include angioedema, increased effect of anticoagulants, hypoglycemia and serotonin toxicity Tramadol was identified as a controlled substance in the USA and UK (schedule IV drug) in 2014, and is also a controlled psychotropic substance in China, as more young people are abusing it to obtain psychological satisfaction. Having a lower affinity for the μ-opioid receptor, Tramadol has shown to have a lower risk for addiction with chronic use when compared with other opiates e.g. morphine and oxycodone Thus, many studies on the risks of opioid abuse have excluded tramadol reported that chronic exposure to tramadol induces oxidative damage, inflammation, and apoptosis. However, little research on long-term tramadol abuse has been reported. Moreover, the toxicity mechanism of long-term exposure to tramadol is unclear
Buy Tramadol 100 mg Online is the one convenient way to manage the Pain . any researchers in the field of pain man-agement are exploring different perspec-tives of analgesics and their side effects to provide and market safer analgesics. Furthermore, pain modulation is a high-ly focused research topic with respect to drug design and development. Analgesic agents have changed rapidly to have lower side effects and addiction, and improve an-algesia, especially in chronic pain management . People can Buy Tramadol 100 mg Online ,Although people complaining of chronic pain is increasing worldwide, analgesic drugs for their treatment are reportedly inadequate due to their side effects that are often intractable and sometimes irreversible. Neuroplasticity of nociception in the brain depicts the rationale for pharmacological research therapy of pain The opiate-based compounds have been very common in the field of analgesia for sever-al decades, so the drugs that affect μ-opioid receptors (MOR) are considered as major analgesics. Synthetic μ-opioid agonists and or antagonists of MORs have been formulated for pain control widely .Tramadol (Ultram) has marketed recently for the pharmacotherapy of chronic pain such as neuropathic pain. It is commonly used as a co-medication or alone for pain alleviating with greater safety when Buy Tramadol 100 mg Online .Its public distribution due to lower susceptibility to addiction, make it one of the most chosen analgesics in many pharmicies. Tramadol has fewer side effects and dependence than equianalgesic doses of strong opioids like morphine . Tramadol has an affinity to the Morphine Opioid Receptors (MORs) but this affinity is 6000 times less than that of morphine Tramadol and opioids are used for third-line treatment of neuropathic pain, to lower the outcomes of the first- and second-line agents and obtain the safety in long-term administration. Besides its action on MORs, tramadol has anti-depres-sive effects through reuptake inhibition of serotonin and noradrenaline It may be more effective than methadone in controlling opioid withdrawal symptoms and is considered as a potential replacement for methadone therapy • On the Other hand Buy Tramadol 100 mg Online .We studied the cellular effects of tramadol on the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA), as a major part in the brain involved in addiction phenomenon.• The dopaminergic VTA neuronal firings were extracted and assigned as tolerance and dependence to tramadol by showing the inhibition and excitation, respectively. • Tramadol can induce tolerance and following dependence in acute administration. • Although a single acute dose of tramadol cannot elicit the tolerance and dependence, on the cellular level, it could kindle the neurons to the progress of the addiction behaviors. Buy Tramadol 100 mg Online Plain Language Summary Drug addiction is a major maladaption of the brain in human populations. It could even start by prescription of drugs. The Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) Dopaminergic (DA) neurons are the core brain region affected in addiction. Tra-madol is introduced as a safe painkiller to replace morphine, but its dependence effects have not studied well. This study showed that a single dose of tramadol could produce the cellular signs of addiction by inducing tolerance and dependence in some VTA-DA neurons. Inhibition and excitation of the VTA-DA neurons showed that tramadol could kindle the neurons to progress toward maladaptions. These findings suggest that caution should be taken when Buy Tramadol 100mg Online as an analgesic.
It would be huge benefit if Buy Tramadol 100 mg Online for pain Management . In addition to the safety of tramadol compared to morphine, there are some side-effects in case of therapeutic or overdose administration. There are post-sub-acute and chronic tramadol toxicities, also seizure is clinically a profound side effect that may occur. The social-based prevalence of tramadol-induced seizure is 8% to 14% but the hospitalized data are reported as 15% to 55% with mostly one episode . The tramadol-induced seizure is not pre-vented by naloxone, a μ-opioid receptor antagonist. These reports show a strong link between tramadol and brain monoamines. The mechanism(s) of analgesic effects of tramadol has remained controversial; the contribution of μ-opioid receptors (MORs) along with non-MOR elements has been evaluated. Tramadol may change ion channels conductance by G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) which can affect monoamine transporters . Buy Tramadol 100 mg Online is one of the Primary option .Buy Tramadol 100 mg Online has rewarding effects (mediated by MOR activation) on rats with sciatic neuropathic pain. The dopamine level in the rats' nucleus accumbens is significantly increased by either tramadol or its metabolite . In human cases, there are some reports on the rewarding and withdrawal effects of tramadol even if Buy Tramadol 100 mg Online , but its use for depression treatment is limited due to reported side effects .The overlap of chronic pain and depression has been reported by some epidemiologic studies in which the cortical and subcortical structures are involved in the perception of different aspects of pain when Buy Tramadol 100 mg Online .The mesolimbic Dopaminergic neurons have a modulatory effect on pain perception. There is evidence of dysfunction of the nucleus accumbens and Ventral Teg-mental Area Dopaminergic (VTA-DA) neurons to initi-ate excessive pain in the animal model . The VTA contains dopamine, Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), glutamate-releasing neurons, and a few other types of neurons. The major population of its neurons (about 65%) is Dopaminergic, and about 30% GABAergic Roberts et al.. The VTA-DA neurons as A10 group project to nucleus accumbens, amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and limbic system to create two major projecting systems: mesolimbic and mesocortical systems. The mesolimbic system regulates motivational processes but the mesocortical system is related to cognitive and motor functions. The VTA-DA neurons is a key neuronal substrate of the limbic system for explain-ing reward, motivation, addiction, and neuropsychiatric illness . The VTA-DA neurons have μ-opioid receptors that are involved in the excitation of dopamine in the nucleus accumbensh, .Incase of Buy Tramadol 100 mg Online Although the rewarding effects of the tramadol have been documented, the precise mechanism of its action is not well known. Tramadol could mimic the opioid effects but it seems that its side effects are related to its opioid and non-opioid effects. This study was designed to evaluate the cellular effect of the acute intraperitoneal application of the tramadol on the firing rate of VTA-DA neurons with extracellular single neuron re-cording techniques.

Lawmakers Pledge to "Join the Fight" Against Cancer
Guam – Senators of the 32nd Guam Legislature have pledged to "Join the fight" against cancer on Guam.
Guam Cancer Care launched the "JOIN THE FIGHT" in April. Participants pledge to encourage and allow employees to get screened for cancer; encourage healthy eating and exercise to promote a healthier work environment; and encourage participation to take proactive steps in the fight against cancer.
According to a news release from Guam Cancer Care, cancer accounts for nearly one in every five deaths on the island.
READ THE NEWS RELEASE FROM GUAM CANCER CARE BELOW:
Senators of the 32nd Guam Legislature will come together in a unified stand in the fight against cancer on September 30th, at 2:00pm at Legislative Hearing Room in the Guam Legislature Building in Hagatna. They will sign Guam Cancer Care's JOIN-THE-FIGHT pledge and commit, as a legislative body, their support of the Fight Against Cancer here on island.
Guam Cancer Care launched its "JOIN THE FIGHT" pledge in April 2013, with a mission to work directly with our island leaders, business community members and other non-profit organizations in the local fight against cancer. As an advocate of the '"JOIN THE FIGHT" pledge, participants pledge to encourage and allow their employees to get screened for cancer in line with approved cancer screening guidelines; disseminate information in reference to cancer screening and early detection programs; encourage healthy eating and exercise to promote a healthier work environment; and encourage participation to take proactive steps in the fight against cancer.
"In order to make a significant difference, our community needs to come together and unite in this Fight that has affected the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of our fellow island residents. I am humbled to be standing alongside our island leaders to unite against a disease that is truly affecting our community," says Terry Cuabo, Executive Director for Guam Cancer Care.
On Guam, cancer accounts for nearly 1 in every 5 deaths. Every year, an average of 316 people were told by their doctor they had cancer, and 144 have died from it. That's one person dying from cancer every 2 to 3 days on our small island of Guam.
Within two operational years, Guam Cancer Care's Patient Navigation program has assisted over 440 Guam residents afflicted by cancer and brought in over $1,810,538.02 in external resources, to included but not limited to; low to no-cost chemotherapy drugs or direct financial assistance for eligible Guam cancer patients from stateside organizations via cancer organizations/foundations and pharmaceutical companies. In addition, Guam Cancer Care has issued out approximately 335 Financial awards to a total of $456,800.53, helping to cover the costs of much needed cancer treatments for patients who are currently on active treatment.
Funding provided to Guam Cancer Care comes out of the Guam Cancer Trust fund, which was established by Public Law 30-80, and redirects 15% of all tobacco taxes generated within the Territory to be deposited to the Guam Cancer Trust Fund, under the purview of the University of Guam, to be used exclusively to provide direct services for Guam cancer patients.

The Loose Ends List by Carrie Firestone is a book of beginnings, middles, and ends, but is also a book about firsts and lasts. When I was first pitched the premise of The Lose Ends List by Hachette Book Group Canada, I was intrigued. The story follows the narrative and perspective of Maddie O'Neill Levine. She's lived a wonderful life, most part due to her incredible grandmother, who is also her best friend and closest confidante. When the news that her grandmother is terminally ill arises, her over the top family plans a trip of a lifetime all over the globe to celebrate with their grandmother one last time. Along the way, Maddie meets an exciting cast of characters and even falls in love, but in the end must face that she will soon be saying goodbye to her best friend.
"If you're watching this, I'm dead. I hope you are surviving without me. I was the glue that held this family together. That's not up for debate. But stick together, and you'll be just fine."
Not many books make me cry, but The Loose Ends List by Carrie Firestone certainly did. I wasn't best friends with my grandmother, but I respected her highly (as one should). I saw (and still see) her as a giver of wisdom, excellent advice, and the odd snarky comment that would make me giggle. Maddie's grandmother was quite similar, and I found it so heartwarming to read Maddie's dialogue and thoughts in respect to her grandmother. The Loose Ends List takes readers into what it feels to first fall in love with a complete stranger, and what it feels like to grieve even though that someone is still with you. Out of personal experience, my mother passed away when I was fairly young from cancer. Maddie's grief was quite reminiscent of my own. I felt like I was grieving the loss of my mother before her passing, and having to read Maddie go through that brought back some memories. Not overly negative ones, but it definitely brought me back to that time, and I couldn't resist picturing myself in Maddie's shoes.
Readers who loved Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, or with a hankering for an emotional contemporary read, are highly recommended The Loose Ends List by Carrie Firestone.
So sorry to hear of your loss. This book made me cry hard too. I really enjoyed it but found Maddie's attitude in the beginning a bit bothersome. What did you think?
Probably not a book I'd voluntarily read because I don't like to cry but it sounds good.
I was indifferent towards this book upon hearing about it as I thought it sounded like every other YA novel out there i.e. loved one sick/dying, MC goes through changes, meets new friends, finds love, goes on trip of a lifetime etc. but it sounds like it is really a heartfelt story that I should give a go. I hope I won't be disappointed!
Very sorry to hear of your loss <3 This book does sound like an interesting read and a very emotional one at that. I think I'd really enjoy reading the relationship between Maddie and her grandmother but I'm sure I'd end up in a bucket of tears by the end.

Fundamo was a forerunner in mobile financial services, but unknown to many in the international mobile or banking industries. And even fewer understood its value.
Together, CCgroup and Fundamo had to boost short term sales across mobile and banking industries and maximise Fundamo's long term value for future exit.
With few obvious examples of mobile money success – plus concerns regarding the profitability of Vodafone's M-PESA service – prospects and investors remained wary.
We had to prove Fundamo had the technological expertise, the business experience and the vision to succeed. We had to promote the achievements and potential of the entire mobile money community. We had to become spokespeople for the industry.
After developing strong messaging, we launched a series of highly successful programmes: joint media activity with customers; thought leadership campaigns for conferences, awards and influencer tours; and countering misinformed stories on behalf of the industry.
For three years, Fundamo executives spoke at every major relevant conference. We achieved blanket business and trade media coverage, outgunning our competitors around the world. Industry analysts profiled us, addressing misconceptions about industry value based on Fundamo's implementations.
PR helped develop the immediate sales pipeline and shone a light on Fundamo's visionary leadership, IP ownership and significant business achievements. In June 2011, Fundamo was acquired by Visa for US $110 million.

Tom DeLonge explains his reasons for leaving Blink-182
Just a few days after Mark Hoppus took to Instagram to tease the new Blink-182 music featuring Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba in place of Tom DeLonge, Tom has taken to Radio.com in a new interview to explain "why [he] really left Blink-182."
Read more: Tom DeLonge claims to be doing "really important things" with Area 51
DeLonge blames his departure from Blink on his other entrepreneurial endeavors:
"What people don't know about me, because I've never been out there telegraphing it, is that I've been building companies for a long time and I learned quite a hell of a lot. And, the skill sets that I've acquired for the past 15 years in terms of understanding the monetization of the arts—I built a platform that Kanye and Nine Inch Nails and Pearl Jam would use to monetize all of their art, their fan clubs, ticketing and all that stuff—to building hard core skateboarding companies and surf companies where the culture involved is super snobby and picky. I grew up skateboarding most of my life. I really learned how to identify with a core group of people that hated everything. So, at this point in my life I just know a lot of things and it's a better use of the skill sets that I've acquired to be doing what I'm doing now than just being on stage playing the songs over and over again—even though it's fun as shit when there's pyrotechnics and lasers—I love that. But I've never needed attention to feel good about myself… even though it's fucking awesome and I love attention, don't get me wrong, but I need to create things. That's where I win emotionally I guess."
DeLonge continues:
"I hit a very specific part in my life. I'm 39 years old. If I was to continue to stay in the studio for a year to write a record that I need to rehearse for eight weeks to go on tour for another six months, and it's only about those twelve songs I'm going to be severely limited in what I can achieve artistically and I'm going to be looking back when I'm 50 kinda going, 'Fuck, I really love all these other forms of art, I really wish I could have done something with it. So what happened was that I decided that… [pauses] just to do it. I decide to do it because it afforded me the ability to be with my family a hell of a lot more. It afforded me to inspire other artists. It afforded me to use all the other skill-sets I've acquired of bringing people together and putting a business model to a new form of art. Guys are creating graphic novels, guys are writing books, guys are making movies, guys are making animations… I created a system of glue to pull all those people together into one vehicle and make it happen, then it's bigger for everybody."
It looks like Tom rejoining the band is out of the question…for now. We all know how quickly that could turn around, because, you know. It has happened before.

UN pushes Nepal to amend transitional justice act - Nepalee.Com
UN pushes Nepal to amend transitional justice act
by Nepalee	 April 18, 2019 56 Views
18 April 2019, Geneva – Its been more than 12 years since the peace agreement deal was signed between then Maoist and Rulling government to end the violent crisis in the country. since then, thousands of people all over the country seeking justice for their dear lost relatives but till now no such provision have been implemented. Several government changed in between, several promises been highlighted but still no justice have been assured.
As delayed by several years, UN pushes Nepal to amend transitional justice act in a strongly worded letter recently.
As per reported, A little over a month after Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali assured the international community that Nepal would amend its Transitional Justice Act in line with the Supreme Court ruling and international commitments, the United Nations has expressed its serious concern over the selection process of new leadership in the two transitional justice commissions and the delay in Act amendment.
The United Nations has asked the Nepal government to recall the ruling from the country's Supreme Court. In 2015, the Supreme Court had struck down the amnesty provision and said the consent of the victims was necessary for any reconciliation.
The letter also has reminded Gyawali of his address to the Human Rights Council in Geneva last month, in which he said the transitional justice laws would be amended as guided by the Comprehensive Peace Accord, the Supreme Court directives, and international commitments.
UN officials, in a 10-page letter, also reminded the Foreign Ministry of their repeated requests for a visit by the Special Rapporteur
Gyawali had also assured that there would be no blanket amnesty in the cases of serious violations of human rights.
The strongly-worded letter from the UN has also nudged Nepali officials about the pending requests for a visit from the Special Rapporteur. "We look forward to receiving your invitation to visit the country soon," the statement said.
The rapporteurs also have sought government's clarification on any measure it has taken or intends to take to make the two transitional justice bodies more effective.
An official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to discuss the letter with the media, confirmed that the letter from the UN was still at the Permanent Mission of Nepal in Geneva and that it would be dispatched to Kathmandu soon. The official also said that the ministry would decide whether to reply to the concerns after reading upon it.
However, ministry spokesperson Bharat Raj Paudyal said he had no official information about the letter.
Human rights advocates say the government should take heed of observations from the United Nations and address them as much as possible.
"This is also the reflection of how the world perceives our government," said Charan Prasain, a human rights defender. "The government must be serious before the transitional justice issues get internationalized."
Nepal had long suffered from civil war and other violations inside the country and whoever ruled the country, it has never complied with international justice system.

SSP Kharel Probe panel wants him transferred to HQ


My name is Debra Bradshaw. I am 57 years old. I come from a family of two sisters and one brother and a mom and dad.
My dad was a World War II veteran. He was 100% disabled.
I have been married 37 years to a very loving man. I have three boys and eleven grandchildren.
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1980, so I've been living with MS for 33 years. It started with double vision. There was three of everything I saw.
Next, I started to drag my right leg. Then I lost my equilibrium and walked with a cane. Then came the walker. Now I am in a wheelchair.
I have horrible pain in my back down to my toes. I stand on one leg to transfer from the wheelchair to another place. Every muscle in my body tightens so I cannot move. All of my nerves tingle throughout my body.
Living with a disease is very expensive. Insurance pays only so much. In January I was given medication that I am allergic to. I was put in hospital and rehabilitation hospital for three weeks.
The hospital turned our bills into the credit bureau. They now garnish my husband's paychecks. I'm in need of help.
I applied for Social Security and Social Security Disability income but was denied in 1981.
I applied for Disability in 2010, but was once denied again.
I applied for Disability Medicare in 2013 and was also denied once again.
I need things to take care of myself. I cannot afford to purchase handicap equipment. It is very expensive.
I am looking for a disability grant to make my home more accessible for me. I need things so I can take care of myself. I need a walk-in bathtub so I can bathe. I need a scooter so I can go outside.
I need money to help pay for my hospital and doctor bills.
I will also need extra money for equipment I will need in the future.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, following his recent role in Dollhouse and the feature Big Fan, comedian Patton Oswalt is now joining the cast of Syfy's upcoming drama series Caprica as a recurring character. According to the article, on the Battlestar Galactica prequel, Oswalt "will play Baxter Sarno, a popular Caprican comedian and talk show host on whose show Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) and Amanda Graystone (Paula Malcomson), ultimately appear."
As this character was not in the original two hour pilot, obviously as the show is currently filming in Vancouver, the producers felt they needed some sort of recurring character like this to provide some overall context to events unfolding after the first Cylon has taken its first steps. Oswalt is a pretty good choice for this type of role where his humor and somewhat abrasive style can take center stage and provide that context and commentary. Should be interesting to see what he makes of the role.
Oswalt joins a cast which already includes the aforementioned Eric Stoltz and Paula Malcomson and also includes Esai Morales, Sasha Roiz, Polly Walker and the recently announced Luciana Carro. Caprica debuts on SyFy on January 22, 2010.

Smith Takes Three-Shot Lead Into Final Round At Australian PGA Championship
REUTERS/Paul Childs/
Home hero Cameron Smith carded a two-under-par 69 to take a three-shot lead into the final round of the Australian PGA Championship on Saturday, inching closer to a third title at the A$2 million ($1.35 million) event.
British Open champion Smith got off to a strong start with four of his six birdies coming in his first six holes, but the world number three struggled on the back nine in windy conditions.
The 29-year-old, who won back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018, moved up to an 11-under total of 202 at the event, which is co-sanctioned by Europe's DP World Tour.
"It was a bit frustrating on that back nine, but in these conditions I would have taken two under," Smith said.
"I'd like to be six or seven ahead, to be honest, but it's a good spot to be in.
"I can't complain. Everything's feeling really good, so feeling really confident and really looking forward to tomorrow."
Smith will also be competing at next week's Australian Open in Melbourne.
"My big thing down here was to have a really big crack at the Aussie Open. I haven't won one of those yet and I think that would be a really good end to a really good year," Smith said.
Overnight leader Jason Scrivener had a day to forget after he failed to recover from a poor start at the Royal Queensland course.
Three bogeys on the front nine were followed by bogeys on the 14th and 16th for the Australian, who partially recovered with two successful birdie putts in his last two holes.
China's Liu Yanwei shot a 70 to move up to joint second on eight-under with Japan's Masahiro Kawamura, three strokes off the lead.
Australia's two-times winner Adam Scott struggled to a three-over 74 to sit tied for 39th.

Prop. 37: YES! Right to Know if Food is Genetically Modified. This measure will require food sold in California to disclose in a label any ingredients that have been genetically engineered. More than 40 countries currently do this, including nations in the European Union; why not us? Consumers should have the right to know this information before they buy. We are an original cosponsor of this measure.
Richmond Measures N & O: El Monte Measure H: Yes! Tax on Sugary Drinks. Americans today consume about 278 more calories a day than they did in the mid-1970s and 40 percent come from sugary drinks, according to recent studies. Health advocates in Richmond in the north and El Monte in the south are acting locally to try and improve their community's health with similar measures imposing a penny-an-ounce tax on sugar-sweetened beverages. Industry front groups— the "Community Coalition Against Beverage Taxes" in Richmond and "El Monte Citizens Against Beverage Taxes—are massively outspending proponents of both measures. The money—$2.4 million to oppose the Richmond measure and $1.3 million against El Monte's—comes mostly from the American Beverage Association whose members include Coca-Cola Co. and Pepsico. That should tell you all you need to know.
Prop. 30: Yes to Boost Education Funding. For six straight years, California school districts have been slashing teachers, counselors, libraries and nurses, imperiling the ability of students—especially those in low-income communities—to get a good education. Community colleges have hiked fees and eliminated classes. Prop. 30 would increase taxes on people earning over $250,000 a year and boost the sales tax by a quarter-cent for four years to fund public schools and community colleges. It also would help defray the public-safety costs local governments must absorb as non-violent state inmates are shifted to local control. Gov. Jerry Brown has worked with teachers, unions, school districts and other stakeholders to create this initiative. Failure to pass it would be disastrous, leading to cuts of about $6 billion from schools, community colleges and public safety departments.
Prop. 32: No! Cuts Political Donations by Unions, Ignores Corporations. This unbalanced measure, financed largely by two billionaires, takes aim directly at unions and their ability to raise and spend money on political campaigns. According to the Center for Investigative Reporting, business interests spent $700 million to influence the outcome of elections in California from 2001 to 2011 while unions spent $284 million. The measure bars unions and corporations from donating directly to campaigns and bars unions from using payroll deductions to collect donations from its members, even if the members wish to give. The measure does nothing to limit donations by hedge funds, insurance companies, investment firms and businesses that aren't structured as corporations. Nor does it regulate giving to so-called independent committees—Super PACS—that are becoming the major players in political campaigns. The League of Women Voters and most unions oppose it. So do we.
Prop. 33: No. Auto Insurance Rates. This measure allows insurance companies to offer discounts to drivers who switch companies as long as they were continuously insured. But it penalizes people who drop their insurance, perhaps because they stopped driving altogether for a time (an act we'd like to encourage). It's backed by insurance company executives and opposed by Consumers Union, which says it will raise rates for many people.
Prop. 34: YES! Abolishes the Death Penalty in California. More than 700 inmates await execution in California, the largest Death Row in the country. They are mostly people of color, reflecting the racial imbalance embedded in the criminal justice system. This measure would replace the death penalty with life imprisonment and apply to those now awaiting execution. The state's Legislative Analyst estimates the bill would, in a few years, save $130 million a year in money now spent on appeals and other legal costs. It also would keep the state from executing innocent people.
Prop. 36: Yes. Revises Three Strikes Law. After California's three-strikes law passed in 1994, the state began locking up inmates for longer periods of time and the prison population grew by 46 percent to reach about 163,000 by the end of 2010. Today 3500 inmates are serving terms of 25 years to life for non-violent, non-serious third-strike crimes. This wastes the money of Californians and the lives of non-violent offenders. Prop. 36 would revise the law so people who already had two felony convictions would no longer get life sentences if convicted of a non-violent third offense. It will reduce the prison population and help address gaping racial disparities: African-Americans are 6 percent of California's population yet make up 44 percent of those convicted of a third strike. It would also save $70 million to $90 million a year and is a badly needed first step in the effort to change the focus on incarceration over education and social justice.
Prop. 38: Yes. Another tax measure to support schools.
Prop. 39: Yes. Taxes for Multistate Corporations. Today, corporations that operate in California and other states get to choose which of several methods they will use to calculate the taxes they'll pay. This measure will take away that latitude and require them to pay taxes based on the portion of their sales take place in the state. If one-quarter of their sales are in California, one-fourth of their profits would be subject to California taxes. This would bring in about $1 billion in new state revenue that would go to increasing the use of alternative energy and train workers for jobs in that field.
Alameda County Measure B1: Yes! Continues a half-cent sales tax that will provide $7.7 billion for transportation in Alameda County over the next 30 years. Almost half goes to mass transit, 30 percent goes to roads and 8 percent goes to improving bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.

Information Los Angeles Hotels
$155 and also upFor a 92-year-old hotel, the Resort Figueroa is extremely "on pattern," as marketers like to state. It was built by the Y.W.C.A. as an exclusively female hostelry a spot where single ladies, including aspiring starlets, can stay without concern of the Harvey Weinsteins of the world. The Figueroa apparently even gave the USA its initial female resort manager: Maude Bouldin, a motorcyle-riding scenic tour de force.
After that the long decrease of downtown Los Angeles took a toll. By 2014, when brand-new owners began a $60 million deluxe revamp, the resort had a Morocco-by-way-of-Sweden theme (don't ask) and was providing to discount German scenic tour teams. The improvement, which was completed previously this year, leans right into the Figueroa's feminist history, with art work from neighborhood female artists on the walls and typical areas designed to host women-centric "salons."The Fig, as locals know it, sits nearby from L.A.
. The Grammy Gallery is likewise situated there. Midtown stretches in the contrary instructions, supplying the gentrified foodie holy place Grand Central Market and also the recovered Cinema at Ace Hotel, which hosts indie bands and also displays art movies. The cavernous Blossom Market to the south is eye-popping as well as only costs $1 admission on Saturdays.
Valued at $359.20 for a Saturday night in very early November, not including tax, our "traditional queen" area on an upper flooring seemed like a closet, and the sight was mostly of a wall surface. A kindly stocked minibar occupied most of the real storage room, leaving no room for a travel suitcase.
(My partner, Joe, sarcastically kept in mind that the space did come with two condoms, nonetheless.) The thermostat seemed to have a mind of its very own, that made me bloodthirsty. On the bonus side, there was a basket of totally free treats Oreos, Red Vines as well as the bed was comfortable. The room was also very peaceful.
The bare walls looked like incomplete concrete and among both light fixtures alongside the mirror was missing out on; a bare light bulb just hung there. Activating the shower needed the navigation of 2 counterintuitive bars, and also it was so dark in that corner of the shower room that it was hard to tell which container was shampoo and which one was body wash.
Bouldin!Before dinner, we picked up drinks (a martini for Joe as well as a cucumber mint lemonade for me) at Rick's, a charming indoor-outdoor lounge. As "Juicy" by the Infamous B.I.G. played on the audio system, we encamped by a crackling fireplace as well as wondered at the monumental, 50-year-old cactuses lining the hotel's coffin-shaped pool (Information Los Angeles Hotels).
Our server, Christopher, patiently answered my 700 questions about the small plates as well as "pintxos" on the food selection. We inhaled the fried kale lollipop with dill crme frache ($10) as well as plaything box squash with avocado and also olives ($14) prior to proceeding to entrees, consisting of deep-fried chicken with a grilled peach and jalapeo salad ($29) spicy and tasty, also if the fruit was inedibly unripe – Information Los Angeles Hotels.
We ordered room solution using an iPad perched on the nightstand and also were provided a 35-minute delay time. It took an hour and also 14 minutes for our basic order of coffee, yogurt and also a pork, egg and also cheese sandwich to arrive. The server shrugged when I complained as well as directed out that the pointer was already consisted of.
Pets rate to stick with their owners for a $50 charge. The hotel has a fashionable, 24-hour gym furnished with treadmills, an elliptical equipment, kettlebells as well as exercising weights, to name a few products. Exclusive yoga exercise classes as well as health and fitness trainers are available upon request (Information Los Angeles Hotels). High-speed Wi-Fi is free.

Alyssa Powell/Business Insider When you're a Los Angeles-based amusement and also way of living journalist like me, you usually find on your own at the 4 Seasons Resort Los Angeles at Beverly Hills – Information Los Angeles Hotels. That's because the resort is popular as one of the very best seen-and-be seen areas for a functioning check out as well as a power lunch or supper around.
But it's not all rigid company as well as rule. As a Four Seasons, the resort rates to family members as well as vacationers of all kinds seeking the consistency of a prominent worldwide luxury chain. Of training course with the passing celeb as well as bold-faced name, it's likewise fantastic for people viewing. I count myself fortunate to call it something of a 2nd residence in town.
I'll never ever forget the time I checked out with my husband for a staycation when I was nine months expectant, or much more recently, over the cheery vacation period when the usual rooms were adorned with floral as well as decoration installments from celebrity floral designer Jeff Leatham. Thus, it's not a surprise it made our checklist of the ideal hotels in Los Angeles for 2020. Prices for entry-level spaces here start in the $400s, according to on the internet search results at the time of magazine.
On my recent Christmas remain, I remained in a mid-tier Deluxe Porch King space, which was comped for evaluation functions, however generally books for $595. I have actually constantly seen basic areas, which are actually larger, and with a lower price factor. Unless you're taking a trip with household or preparing to delight in-room, in my experience, a standard-sized space is the ideal worth for first-class lodgings that are large, lavish, and prime for people-watching.

Nicole Seah is one of 12 people elected to the Workers' Party CEC
She says: "In every way possible, we really want to go from strength to strength in serving the needs of Singaporeans"
Facebook screengrab: Nicole Seah
Home NewsSG Politics
Singapore — Ms Nicole Seah spoke at the Workers' Party press conference on Sunday (Dec 27) on being elected as one of the 12 people in its central executive committee (CEC).
"I just want to say a very big thanks to the leadership for supporting us. For me, personally, it's been a very long journey starting from 2015 when I was volunteering as a member, and to come to this stage has been with the support of many members in the party."
"We will continue to keep our heads down and work very hard on the ground. In every way possible, we really want to go from strength to strength in serving the needs of Singaporeans," she added, as WP leader Pritam Singh nodded in the background.
"And more importantly, I think this is a great opportunity even as the WP CEC enters a phase of renewal and growth for the next generation of leaders to come up. We will continue learning from the older, more experienced leaders and members who have paved the way for us."
As for the East Coast GRC, she said that the WP team there has continued with the work that other party members have done over the past election cycles. Ms Seah noted that the WP team has kept up a minimum of three outreaches a week.
She added that it has been very encouraging for her and Mr Kenneth Foo to be inducted into the CEC. They had, with two others, contested in East Coast GRC in this year's General Election.
"We can reflect the needs of East Coast GRC constituents and bring that to the table as part of our leadership plan," she said.
Ms Seah and Mr Foo are among the 12 people elected to the WP's CEC.
Mr Pritam Singh and Ms Sylvia Lim remain party head and chair respectively, and the CEC is a mix of party stalwarts and younger standouts.
The WP's CEC is now composed of Mr Louis Chua, Mr Kenneth Foo, Mr Gerald Giam, Ms He Ting Ru, Ms Raeesah Khan, Associate Professor Jamus Lim, Mr Low Thia Khiang, Mr Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap, Mr Leon Perera, Mr Png Eng Huat, Ms Nicole Seah and Mr Dennis Tan.
Ms Seah first contested in the 2011 General Election in Marine Parade GRC under the National Solidarity Party. Only 24 at that time, she gained enormous popularity, to the point of being dubbed as a "rock star". The NSP was sometimes even known as the Nicole Seah Party.
Her team lost to the incumbents that year but gained a respectable 43.35 per cent vote share, which many credited to her, including former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, who had anchored PAP's Marine Parade slate for many years.
Ms Seah resigned from the NSP in 2014 and started volunteering with the WP the following year, later becoming a member.
She said this year that she contested in the General Election for the sake of her young daughter. "I do it for my daughter because she's the next generation of Singaporeans and I want to leave behind a legacy for her where she would feel comfortable regardless of her political inclinations or the kinds of views she's expressing." /TISG

A potable water survey, in two important municipalities of the state of Sinaloa, Mexico was conducted. Culiacan, capital city of Sinaloa and its neighboring municipality, Navolato were selected to enumerate Aeromonas hydrophila, Escherichia coli, fecal and total coliforms, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Heterotrophic plate count bacteria from 100 households' taps. Manganese; residual chlorine; pH; temperature and turbidity were also examined. Overall, Aeromonas hydrophila was not detected in any of the samples, 3% contained Escherichia coli, 28% had fecal and 46 total coliforms, P. aeruginosa was present in 15% of the samples. HPC bacteria were found in all of the samples but 43% had numbers greater than 500 CFU per ml. The average numbers obtained for the physico-chemical parameters were 0.15 mg/L; 0.32 mg/L; 6.5; 28.7°C and 2.92 NTU for manganese, residual chlorine, pH, temperature and turbidity, respectively. The findings of the current study demonstrate that potable water from both municipalities can harbor substantial numbers of indicator and opportunistic pathogens suggesting that additional treatment in the household may be needed.

The No Blasted Quarry Campaign continues as the trial date has been postponed to November.

China has fired a direct message in response to Australia declaring Beijing's claim in the South China Seas are illegal, accusing Canberra of "recklessly making provocations" and blindly following the United States.
The Australian government formally rejected China's maritime claims in the South China Sea on Thursday with a message to the United Nations.
Through its government mouthpiece, The Global Times, China responded with an article titled "Australia unwisely boards US leaky boat to meddle in South China Sea".
It declared sanctions on beef and wine exports were warranted and warned broken diplomacy between the two countries was unsalvageable.
"The relationship between China and Australia has now deteriorated to a very bad point and the chance for a turnaround is slim in the near future," according to the article penned by Guangdong Research Institute professor Zhou Fangyin.
"One of the main reasons is that Australia's policy lacks independence and its current choice is to closely follow the US lead.
"If Australia further provokes China, not only on political relations, but also economic relations, the damage to Australia should be expected."

The paper claims Australia is "not as tactful" as its Five Eyes alliance partners the United Kingdom and Canada, accusing the Morrison Government of aggressively following Washington's lead against China.
"It should be said that so far Australia has not learned a great lesson," Prof Fangyin's article stated.
"If it still insists on going on the current path, the possibility that China will take strong countermeasures cannot be ruled out.
"For example, China could target substitutable agricultural products such as beef and wine."
The diplomatic relationship between Australia and China soured when Canberra led calls for an international investigation into the initial outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in Wuhan.
The increasingly fraught war of words flirted with aggression last week when five Australian warships were reportedly confronted by the Chinese navy near the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea.
But this recent response published in the country's propaganda outlet is a direct retaliation for Australia filing a declaration at the United Nations in New York, rejecting China's maritime claims as being inconsistent with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The escalation comes just days before an upcoming ministerial meeting between the US and Australia, AUSMIN.
Leading researcher, the University of Sydney's United States Studies Centre, has urged the two governments to narrow their focus on China at the strategic meeting.
The top research institute recently outlined a policy framework for Australia and the US, claiming the alliance has never had a "more urgent" time to show leadership.
China's Belt and Road Initiative, its island grabbing in the South China Sea, military force in the Taiwan Strait, its annexation of Hong Kong's legal system and the recent clashes at the border with Indian forces reveal a menacing strategy for regional control, the centre said.
"While the United States has been largely distracted during COVID-19 with its own domestic concerns, China has taken advantage of an uncertain regional situation to advance its expansive geopolitical interests in key flashpoints across the Indo-Pacific," the centre's director of foreign policy and defence Ashley Townshend told news.com.au.
"China already has already taken advantage of the pandemic to prosecute its regional agenda in ways that are not favourable to our interests."

Obamacare rules let insurers hide abortion charges in government-backed health plans. Lawmakers want it to stop.

Nearly 130 members of both chambers of Congress say that the so-called "Affordable Care Act" has a loophole that allows Obamacare providers to hide surcharges for elective abortions covered by government health care plans. A group of lawmakers want the Department of Health and Human Services to finalize a regulation to close that loophole.
A letter to HHS Secretary Alex Azar signed by 25 senators and 103 House members focused on a proposed change to the implementation of Section 1303 of Obamacare, which deals with the separation of abortion funds, among other "special rules."
Basically, the law as written requires that federally subsidized health plans that covered elective abortions should charge a separated minimum $1 "abortion surcharge" every month and deposit it into a separate account for abortion procedures, the letter explains. The dual intent was to prevent taxpayer money from directly covering abortion procedures while creating transparency via the separate abortion charge.
"Unfortunately, in an exercise of executive overreach, the Obama Administration undermined Section 1303 by interpreting 'separate' to mean 'together' in subsequent regulatory guidance," the lawmakers wrote. "Blatantly disregarding congressional authority, the guidance stated that simply sending a single notice about the surcharge or itemizing the abortion surcharge on monthly bills would satisfy the requirement under Section 1303."
An October op-ed from Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser and Family Research Council Action President Tony Perkins explained that, as of 2018, "federally funded ObamaCare insurance plans in 24 states and the District of Columbia are permitted to cover elective abortion" with the added surcharge.
"By no means is this measure consistent with the principle of the long-standing Hyde Amendment," the letter added, "however, it is important that the administration comply with these minimal requirements with transparency."
As a remedy, the lawmakers pointed to a regulation proposed by the Trump administration last year and called for its "swift implementation."
"The proposed rule is consistent with the clear meaning and congressional intent of Section 1303 and eliminates the hidden abortion surcharge in many ACA plans," Tuesday's letter explained. "While this requirement does not change the fact that the ACA violates the precedent of the long-standing Hyde Amendment through its involvement of tax dollars in subsidies to abortion-covering plans, it is an important step in providing transparency and awareness for enrollees."
"Taxpayer money should never be used to take innocent lives, and Obamacare passed with the promise that taxpayers would not have to subsidize another person's abortion," Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas) said in an emailed statement about the letter. "Nevertheless, these hidden abortion surcharges were pushed upon Americans who would have objected had they known."
