Kalpavriksh is a non-profit organisation based in India with its office in Pune, Maharashtra. The organisation takes up research, networking, education, grassroots work, advocacy and activism in the field of environment, ecology, development, and alternatives. The institute was formed in 1979 when a student-led group began to campaign for Delhi Ridge Forest.

Focus areas
Kaplavriksh organisation works in five major focus areas.

Alternatives
It refers to initiatives proposed in consent with different stakeholders such as civil society organizations, government, individuals, communities, and more. The initiatives carry features such as ecological sustainability, social well-being and justice, direct democracy, economic democracy, and more.

Conservation and livelihoods
This program has its traces from institutes earliest initiatives since the early 1980s. It deals with activities such as field documentation, legal and policy analysis, biodiversity campaigns, protected area update etc.

Environment education
It aims at sustainable use and conservation of natural resources by raising awareness with education to incorporate social equity and ecological sustainability. The goal is to make children sensitive about environment issues besides raising awareness and to develop and implement, decentralised (local) materials and programs for the conservation of the environment.

Urban environment
Its focus is on care and protection of standing trees in urban areas such as river front, public gardens, ridge forests etc. It also monitors several urban development activities that may prove detrimental to trees such as road widening, construction of flyovers, footpath design etc. The institute is also working in collaboration with the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi to provide for tree authority and tree helpline for a better implementation.

Economic and development
The institute investigates research on environmental regulatory regimes that concern the individual's environment and livelihood. They comprise issues related to coastal regulations, forest clearance for projects etc. Right to Information Act, 2005 usage remain central to this focus area.

Oxford High School survivor Phoebe Arthur goes home: 'She is a fighter'
Phoebe Arthur is out of the hospital.
"My sweet baby is HOME ❤❤❤❤ GOD IS GOOD," wrote her mother Sandy Cunningham on a verified GoFundMe page set up to help the 14-year-old Oxford High School gunshot victim.
"OUR COMMUNITY IS AMAZING ❤ lots of love to you all!"
Phoebe had just been released from Hurley Medical Center in Flint. This means one child remained hospitalized in the Nov. 30 shooting that killed four students and injured seven other people, including a teacher .
A 17-year-old female student was in stable condition at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office in a news release Sunday.
An image of Phoebe Arthur, 14, a recovering gunshot victim who survived the Nov. 30 killings at Oxford High School on Nov. 30. Her family is raising money through a verified GoFundMe.com account. The $70,746 reflects funds raised through Sunday, Dec. 5, 2021.
The GoFundMe page for Phoebe was set up by Naomi and Edward Ernest of Manchester Township, a cousin. The dollars go to her parents.
On the home page, Ernest wrote that Phoebe had been shot in the chest and neck.
"Thankfully, a friend kept Phoebe out of harm's way, holding her, praying with her, and putting compressions on Phoebe's wounds to stop the bleeding until paramedics could arrive. Phoebe sustained serious injuries that required immediate surgery, after which she was put on a ventilator until stable," Naomi Ernest wrote on GoFundMe.
"Through it all, her mom says Phoebe 'has been the strongest, bravest, most epic human. She is a fighter.' "
The fundraiser is intended to help cover expenses related to the trauma, both short-term and long term. All money goes directly to the family. By late Monday, the site had about 1,300 donations totaling $75,258 toward a $100,000 goal.
'Made it through'
Updates on the page have included photos and optimism.
"Phoebe had such a big day and made so many advances towards her recovery," Cunningham posted Friday. "She sat up, made it to a chair, walked, did laps around the ped(iatric) unit. She only had one awful pain breakdown today, those being the moments we don't share. Along with all the doctors, nurses, psychologist … she made it through a big day."

Ernest thanked people for the messages of support.
"I feel you all should know that your prayers and rallying around Phoebe is truly making a difference, along with her strength and determination to get better. Peace and love to you all," she wrote.
The Free Press has reached out to Ernest to see if she would like to comment further.
Naomi Ernest, a cousin to Phoebe Arthur, a victim of the Oxford High School shootings Nov. 30, 2021, posted an image Sunday, Dec. 5, 2021 of Phoebe laughing. The friend with Phoebe appears to be a classmate who is still bandaged, too.
Donations on the GoFundMe page ranged from $5 to $2,000. Some left messages on the site and others contributed anonymously. Donor comments came from all over the country and included:
"You are a true warrior," from Shannon Gammon.
"Keep fighting — and know you are supported," from Anita Banach from Romeo.
"Stay strong Phoebe!! Sending love & prayers to you & your community. Charleston, SC stands with you all!" from Ashley and Travis Parys.
"I don't know your family but my heart goes out to every victim of the Oxford shooting. I'm a college student and $5 is all I could do but I hope that you get your expenses covered and I can't wait to hear about updates on your recovery!" from Soraya Olds.
"We have adopted family and friends in Metamora — this is still much good in the world — we want to show it," from Jeen Kobb.
"Recovery quickly, dear one," from Jeanne Hoover-Kitzman, Oxford High School Class of 1965.
"Because nobody is alone," wrote Patrick Yoshida.
One of the photos posted by Ernest includes Phoebe with a classmate who is also still bandaged.
Aiden Watson
Overall, there are eight verified GoFundMe pages related to the Oxford shooting as of Monday, seven designated for victims and one for the community.
A verified page was added Monday for gunshot survivor Aiden Watson, 15, by his aunt, Barb Crumback. The day of the tragedy would have would have been the first day he was in the water as a freshman for the high school swim team, she wrote on his page.
Depth of injury
To illustrate the gravity of costs for survivors, Michelle Carter-Johnston, a cousin to shooting victim Eli Mueller, organized his GoFundMe effort and provided a detailed account of his medical challenges.
"The bullet grazed his two fingers as it passed between them, went into his open mouth, hit and shattered 3-4 teeth, then out his right cheek below his ear," Carter-Johnston wrote on the GoFundMe page. "This young man at the age of 14 will have to pause his teenage life to go through medical procedures and take time to heal in many ways."
Eli Mueller, who survived the Oxford school shootings Nov. 30, has been released from the hospital. His family set up a GoFundMe.com page to help offset medical and other costs. This image was taken Monday, Dec. 6, 2021.
Money will be spent on medical costs and other bills related to the recovery, unpaid leave for his parents, college.
By late Monday, the Mueller page had about 1,600 donations totaling $75,177. Recent gifts ranged from $5 to $1,000. And comments included:
"Best of care and healing of wounds and his spirit," from Lisa Clark.
"Mr. Mueller is a former coworker and colleague of the Pontiac School District. I absolutely don't mind contributing for such a cause. Mr. Mueller is passionate about all students. We love you here at Pontiac MS. Ms. L. Smith your Forever Secretary," from LaTrena Smith
"I am a teacher in Texas — my students are the same age as Eli. I hope Eli's road to recovery is as smooth as possible and I hope his family and school community can find peace," from Caroline Pinkston.

Pulte support
Philanthropist Bill Pulte, CEO of Pulte Capital based in Boca Raton, Florida, has urged his 3.2 million followers to donate to GoFundMe sites that benefit Oxford families.
He wrote to the Free Press after its story on Madisyn Baldwin and said he was grateful to see the coverage. He confirmed Monday he personally had contributed to her fund.
Pulte is grandson of the late founder of PulteGroup, a home-building company that started in Detroit nearly 70 years ago as Pulte Homes. His family still has a home in Oakland County and a summer home in Cheboygan County, just south of Mackinaw City.
"The situation with Oxford is one where it is every parent and child's worst nightmare," Pulte wrote. "And so, when we think about philanthropy and why philanthropy exists, it should be exactly used for something like this."

By Emilie Hackett, Special to the Record – Bishop's College School (BCS) will be the home of Ideation, a thought-provoking play by Aaron Loeb, from May 2 to May 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the R. Lewis Evans Memorial Theatre. Tickets are $10. The BCS Players' Club production features six senior students, under the direction of Miranda McGie, presenting the modern play where mundane meets dystopia, comedy meets thriller, and morality meets insanity. Year 12 students Bohong Fu, Timothy Chevalier, Cala Tesolin, Pierre Anglade, Sebastian Colley and Chang Min Son have been working tirelessly since January to become the characters in this out of the ordinary production. "I've done many plays at BCS, but this one is special," mentioned Fu, who is also stage manager for the first time. "Usually in the spring we'll do a big fairy-tale style production, but this is a very realistic and modern play. I love the script because it's different than anything we've done before." See full story in the Wednesday, May 1 edition of The Record.

The Great Western Ocean is the largest single body of water known to the people of Ithria. As referenced on most maps, it leads to the end of the world. The name of this water simply refers to all the seas that lie west of Ithria. The bathyns, karthasians and the elves fish and travel these waters in a variety of ships. The phellysians have a strong aversion to ocean travel.


The 2016 Golden Globes nominations have finally arrived, and major congratulations are in order for a certain actress. Cate Blanchett snagged a nomination for the highly coveted Best Actress category, but there's really no surprise there, TBH. The award-winning actress has achieved countless accolades for her many riveting roles in films like Blue Jasmine and The Aviator, but her portrayal as one half of a lesbian couple in the movie Carol has got to be one of her best performances yet. With the anticipation of such a big honor, only one question remains — what will Blanchett wear to the 2016 Golden Globes? The forecast reads something majorly luxe and high-fashion.
Throughout her nearly 20-year career in Hollywood, Blanchett has made a name for herself as quite the fashionista. She always managed to set herself apart from the rest, constantly pushing the fashion envelope in cutting-edge designs that always possess that wow factor. Just these past few months alone she stepped out in a parade of drop dead gorgeous looks that came straight off the latest runways, including a silk and lace Givenchy jumpsuit and a Proenza Schouler midi dress.
My guess is that she will opt for something hot off the Spring 2016 runways. The Golden Globes are pretty formal, so she will probably go for something super elegant and regal.
Perhaps this Spring 2016 Givenchy ball gown? It's got lots of drama and a particularly majestic feel, and we know she loves Givenchy.
The actress actually wore something similar to last year's Golden Globes.
...And to the 2015 Oscars.
Clearly, she is a fan of black gowns.
Or maybe she will choose this Spring 2016 Marchesa gown?
It doesn't get more fashion-y than this. The pastel hues would look gorgeous on Blanchett's complexion, and we know she is a fan of soft colors, like this dress she wore to the 2011 Oscars.
This is one of my all time favorite red carpet dresses.
My last prediction is something elegant with lots of beading, like this Spring 2016 Delpozo look.
Blanchett has worn many beaded gowns on the red carpet.
This Oscars 2014 gown was covered in intricate beadwork and looked super ethereal on her.
It's a toss up between black, beaded, and pastel, but whichever gown she chooses, I know it will surely be breathtaking.

Q: TortoiseSVN and .svn folder using a symbolic link My company uses TortoiseSVN internally to keep our files updated. The .svn folder for the project I have is massive (250GB) and as such I had to move it off to an external HDD. I created a symbolic link to the new location so that TortoiseSVN 'should' still continue to work.
I managed to run a clean-up, but when I tried to revert a file, it gave me an error 'Failed to run the WC DB work queue associated with (file)" and "Can't move (tmp file) to ... (original file): The system cannot move the file to a different disk drive". I found that this error is caused by Windows not letting a file be renamed while it is being moved. Does anyone know a solution to this?

A: Found this wonderful explanation in Internet.

Subversion, during normal operations, has to atomically rename (and
move) a file from somewhere in the .svn/ directory to its expected
location in the working copy. Windows can't do that if the source and
target of the rename are on different volumes, that's what the error
message is telling you. It's the move to a different volume
that fails, not the renaming of the file.
Subversion assumes that it is possible to atomically move a file from the .svn directory to the working copy's checked out files.  That would not possible when the .svn directory is on a different drive / filesystem.
The integrity of the working copy
relies on atomic renames.

In my case I moved only one subfolder of local repository, not the .svn folder. But the issue is the same, once source .svn folder and destination folder end up to be on a separate disks, atomic file move fails.
There is no option B but to move the folder back to the same disk. You can try to reduce size of your .svn folder by doing 'Clean Up' with 'Vacuum Pristine Copies' flag on.
Or grab a bigger disk.

Q: Proper initialization of sys.path when main script is in a submodule The first entry of sys.path is the directory of the current script, according to the docs. In the following setup, I would like to change this default. Imagine the following directory structure:
src/
    core/
        stuff/
        tools/
            tool1.py
            tool2.py
    gui/
        morestuff/
        gui.py

The scripts tool*.py and gui.py are intended to be run as scripts, like the following:
python src/core/tools/tool2.py
python src/gui/gui.py

Now all tools import from src.core.stuff, and the GUI needs gui.morestuff. This means that sys.path[0] should point to src/, but it points to src/core/tools/ or src/gui/ by default.
I can adjust sys.path[0] in every script (with a construct like the following, e.g., at the beginning of gui.py):
if __name__ == '__main__':
    if sys.path[0]: sys.path[0] = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.path[0]))

However, this is sort of redundant, and it becomes tedious for a mature code base with thousands of scripts. I also know the -m switch:
python -m gui.gui

But this requires the current directory to be src/.
Is there a better way to achieve the desired result, e.g. by modifying the __init__.py files?
EDIT: This is for Python 2.7:
~$ python -V
Python 2.7.3

A: The only officially approved way to run a script that is in a package is by using the -m flag. While you could run a script directly and try to do sys.path manipulations yourself in each script, it's likely to be a big pain. If you move a script between folders, the logic for rewriting sys.path may also need to be changed to reflect the new location. Even if you get sys.path right, explicit relative imports will not work correctly.
Now, making python -m mypackage.mymodule work requires that either you be in the project's top level folder (src in your case), or for that top level folder to be on the Python search path. Requiring you to be in a specific folder is awkward, and you've said that you don't want that. Getting src into the search path is our goal then.
I think the best approach is to use the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point the interpreter to your project's src folder so that it can find your packages from anywhere.
This solution is simple to set up (the environment variable can be be set automatically in your .profile, .bashrc or some other equivalent place), and will work for any number of scripts. If you move your project, just update your environment settings and you'll be all set, without needing to do any more work for each script.

A: You've got three basic options here. I've been through all three in both a production environment and personal projects. In many ways they build on each other. However, my advice is to just skip to the last one.
The fundamental problem is that you need your ./src directory to be in the python search path. This is really what python packaging is all about.
PYTHONPATH
The most straightforward, user defined way to adjust your python path is through the environment variable PYTHONPATH. You can set it at run time, doing something like:
PYTHONPATH=/src python src/gui/gui.py

You can of course also set this up in your global environment so hopefully all processes that need it will find the correct PYTHONPATH. But, just remember, you'll always forget one. Usually at 3 AM when your cron task finally runs.
Site Packages
To avoid needing an environment variable, your options are pretty much to include your software in an existing entry in the source path, or find some additional way to add a new search path. So this can mean dropping the contents of your src directory into /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages or wherever your system site-packages is located.
Since you may not want to actually include the code in site-packages, you can create a symlink for your two sub-packages.
This is of course less than ideal for a number of reasons. If you're not careful with naming then suddenly every python program on the machine is exposed to potential name conflicts. You're exposing your software to every user on the machine. You might run into issues if python get's updated. If you add a new sub-package, now you have to create a new symlink.
A slightly better approach is to include a .pth file somewhere in your site-packages. When python encounters these files, it adds the contents (which is supposed to be the name of a directory) to the search path. This avoids the problem of having to remember to add a new symlink for each new sub-package.
virtualenv and packaging
The best solution is to just bite the bullet and do real python packaging. This, combined with great tools like virtualenv and pip let you have an isolated (or semi-isolated) python environment.
Under virtualenv, you would have a custom site-packages for just your project where you can easily install your software into it, avoiding all the problems of the earlier solutions. virtualenv also makes it easy to maintain executable scripts so that the python environment it runs under is exactly as you expect.
The one downside is that you have to write and maintain a setup.py which will instruct pip (the python installer) to include your software in the virtualenv. The contents would be something like:

!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from distutils.core import setup

setup(
    name='myproject',
    package_dir={'myproject': 'src'},
    scripts=['src/gui/gui.py', 'src/core/tools/tool1.py', 'src/core/tools/tool2.py']
)

So, to setup this environment, it's going to look something like this:
virtualenv env
env/bin/pip install -e setup.py

To run your script, then you'd just do something like:
env/bin/tool1.py

A:
I wanted to do this to avoid having to set PYTHONPATH in the first place

There are other places you can hook into Python's sys.path initialization, using the site module, which is (by default) automatically imported when Python initializes.
Based on the this code in site.py...
# Prefixes for site-packages; add additional prefixes like /usr/local here
PREFIXES = [sys.prefix, sys.exec_prefix]

...it looks as if the intention was that this file was designed to be modified after installation, which is one option, although it also provides other ways you can influence sys.path, e.g. by placing a .pth file somewhere inside your site-packages directory.
Assuming the desired result is to make the code work 'out of the box', this would work, but only for all users on a single system.
If you need it to work on multiple systems, then you'd have to apply the same changes to all systems.
For deployment, this is no big deal. Indeed, many Python packages already do something like this. e.g. on Ubuntu...
~$ dpkg -L python-imaging | grep pth
/usr/share/pyshared/PIL.pth
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL.pth

...but if your intention is to make it easy for multiple concurrent developers, each using their own system, you may be better off sticking with the current option of adding some 'boilerplate' code to every Python module which is intended to be run as a script.
There may be another option, but it depends on exactly what you're trying to achieve.

"We will back you every step of the way": Theresa May to business leaders at last year's summit
"The world does not owe us a living. Britain has to earn a living." Speaking only months after forming the coalition government, David Cameron received overwhelming backing from delegates of the first CEO Summit for his plans to tackle the deficit.
Sir John Rose, the chief executive of Rolls-Royce, said: "We have become complacent, fuelled by growing public-sector debt and the ease of debt to allow growth." Mr Cameron's plans received further support from Jean Chrétien, the former prime minister of Canada, whose government presided over radical budget cuts without suffering a crisis.
A panel including Sir Kevin Smith, the chief executive of GKN, called for lower taxes and a focus on infrastructure to ensure that Britain could earn its living. Sir Terry Leahy, the…


If your rare, exotic, purebred, or prized animal has been stolen or has gotten lost, then you may want to consider a stolen or lost pet investigation.
If your rare, exotic, purebred, or prized pet has been stolen or has gotten lost, then an investigation into its theft may be necessary.
The bond people form with their pets is often quite strong, and the emotional trauma of losing one's prized pet can far outweigh any monetary loss. But when an expensive and rare pet is stolen or lost, the need to investigate its disappearance quickly and efficiently is even greater. Nearly two million pets are stolen each year, sometimes by thieves using a variety of tactics such as false pretense using a "free to a good home" ad, abducting them from your yard, or taken from animal shelters. Pets are taken for a variety of reasons, such as for sale into fighting rings, puppy mills, to be used as cheap meat, or for illegal chemical testing. The last thing you want is to find out your animal is lost forever to an unlicensed medical testing facility to be used as an experiment, abused until it is no longer of any use to the "scientists." If you believe your pet has been stolen or even if it is just lost, contact ICS immediately and let our highly skilled, experienced pet investigators get to work for you before it's too late.
Losing your pet can be traumatic far beyond and financial loss it may cause. The bond between pet and owner is incredibly strong, and knowing that your pet has been lost, or even stolen and sold off into some abusive animal fighting ring or to be used in experimental testing may be an unbearable burden. If you believe that your pet has been stolen, then you cannot waste any time. Contact ICS and let our experienced pet investigators get to work right away. Our investigators are highly skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to stolen and lost pets, and we will get to work immediately so that we can conduct a thorough, efficient investigation into your stolen pet.

Known to the medical world as canine infectious tracheobronchitis, Kennel Cough is a respiratory disease that can affect a huge number of pups. Highly contagious, the disease is commonly spread when dogs interact with other dogs (hence the "Kennel") and results in a hacking, choking cough that sounds terrible but is rarely a serious condition.
Akin to the common cold in humans, multiple different viruses and bacterium can be the underlying cause of Kennel Cough. The most prevalent of these agents are the Parainfluenza virus, Bordetella bacteria, Mycoplasma and Canine herpes virus.
If a dog inhales one of these virus particles or bacteria their respiratory tract comes under attack and becomes infected. Spread from dog to dog through breath and contact, Kennel Cough is easiest to spread and to catch when a large number of dogs share the same space for long periods of time. Much like any other virus.
Kennel Cough manifests itself as an inflammation of the larynx (voice box) and will cause choking, gagging, and coughing in puppies. Some dogs will seem to be suffering from a cold or allergies: a runny nose and eyes, sneezing, and sniffling are the order of the day.
Loss of appetite and energy are fairly common symptoms as well. Most of all, the powerful and persistent cough should be a dead giveaway. Left untreated, Kennel Cough usually clears itself up after three to four weeks in puppies and younger dogs but may last double that time in older canines. However, there is a chance that an unchecked, persistent cough can lead to pneumonia.
Most owners want their furry friend to play with other pooches. After all, a well-socialized dog is a happy dog, but it is always good to keep in mind the risk of Kennel Cough on your puppy's playdates. In the same way you would avoid contact with a coworker suffering from a cold, try keeping your pooch away from dogs that display any of the symptoms listed above.
Quick conversations with fellow dog owners can set your mind at ease at the puppy park, and, if you have to kennel your dog for a spell, well-ventilated, clean facilities are your best bet to prevent contraction of Kennel Cough.
Vaccination is also a good way to prevent Kennel Cough infections. Available in shot, nasal spray and pill form, these vaccines are not necessarily foolproof as many different forms of bacteria and viral agents can cause Kennel Cough.
If your dog is suffering from a persistent cough, low energy, or low appetite it is always a good idea to take him to the vet. If you suspect it's Kennel Cough, tell your vet before coming in so they may make arrangements to keep your dog separate from other canine patients. Once your pooch has been diagnosed, veterinarians often recommend that you isolate your dog from contact with all other puppies.
Kennel Cough is incredibly contagious and can be spread from dog to dog even in the briefest moment of contact. In multiple dog households, isolation can be difficult or even impossible, so you may have to resign yourself to having more than one sick pup on your hands.
Often enough, your dog will just have to suffer through a few weeks of coughing before the body overwhelms the disease on its own. Sometimes, however, if the infection is deemed to be bacterial rather than viral, veterinarians may prescribe antibiotics for your dog.
Home treatment options are similar to those you'd administer to a sufferer of the common cold. Giving your dog a steam shower will help loosen the mucus in his chest and relieve his cough. Ensuring your pup gets some good rest is also essential, as the body needs to spend its energy fighting the disease rather than rough housing.
Even the tried and true remedy of warm water, lemon and honey can soothe their troubled throats. There may also be merit in switching from a collar to a harness while your dog is suffering from Kennel Cough, just in case they pull too hard on their leash and aggravate the throat even more.
At the end of the day, Kennel Cough may be an unavoidable affliction if your pup is popular with other pooches. All you can do is try to make your puppy comfortable, seek professional medical advice and, more often than not, just wait it out.


Landing your drone doesn't always go so smoothly, especially when it comes to grass, mud, sand and uneven terrain. That's why we have developed our own robust roll away drone pad. As most drone users will know trying to land on thick grass the drone propellers cut through the grass and cover your prized drone in gunk, getting into your propellers also landing in mud and your drone gets dirty and we don't want that now guys do we.
Our drone pads are made from a thick 3mm durable rubber, printed and then finally laminated in a clear durable rubber ensuring the paintwork does not fade or get damaged. The best part is that our pads roll up making them easy to carry.
Besides they do look pretty awesome.

The gaps between the words — a small history of space
Stephen Robertson, City University, London
Most modern information retrieval systems rely heavily on the initial separation of words in natural language text. In English, and in many other languages using alphabetic scripts, this is a simple, almost trivial, task — it is (almost) universal in English text to separate words with spaces (possibly with other signs such as punctuation). A few alphabetic languages (German, Finnish) are a little trickier, and some non-alphabetic languages (Japanese, Chinese) require more serious deconstruction for the extraction of words. But in the roughly 3000-year history of alphabetic writing, the habit of inserting spaces between words was only initiated about 1500 years ago, and only became universal some centuries after that. Further, the idea of having an explicit character code for space does not appear until the second half of the twentieth century, well over a century after Morse's coding scheme for alphabetic and numerical characters. In this talk, I will give a sketch of this history, and try to give an idea of how our sense of word spacing has changed over time.
Rich Explanatory Models of IR System Performance
Nicola Ferro, University of Padua, Italy
IR is an heavily experimental discipline with a long-lasting tradition in evaluation and system performance measurement. Nevertheless, there are two major shortcomings: we would need more insightful and richer explanations of IR system performance and we should devise techniques for prediction of IR system performance and the ahead design of IR systems, meant as the capability of designing them as to meet an expected level of performance before actually needing to implement them for discovering what are their performance. The talk will discuss the state-of-the-art in performance modelling and will outlook how to turn these results into a performance prediction framework, drawing from the results of a recent Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop on predicting performance across IR/NLP/RecSys.
Word relatedness from Word Embedding in Information Retrieval
Allan Hanbury, TU Wien, Austria
Word Embedding approaches, such as word2vec, are being increasingly used as the basis for a wide variety of text analysis and information retrieval applications. In this talk, I present some of the recent contributions to this area from my research group. The first part of the talk analyses the similarity values produced by word2vec, in particular to determine the range of similarity values that is indicative of actual term relatedness. Based on these results, uses of the similarity values in Information Retrieval are presented. Finally, we discuss the problem of topic shifting in Information Retrieval resulting from the incorporation of word2vec term similarities, mainly due to the local context of these similarities. A solution is presented that involves combining the local context of word2vec with the global context provided by Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI)
Less is More: Learning Sparse Representations for Neural Rankers
Jaap Kamps, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
We introduce sparse neural ranking models that learn a latent sparse representation for each query and document. This representation captures the semantic relationship between the query and documents, but is also sparse enough to enable constructing an inverted index for the whole collection. Our model gains in efficiency without loss of effectiveness: it not only outperforms the existing term matching baselines, but also performs similarly to the recent re-ranking based neural models with dense representations. Our results demonstrate the importance of sparsity in neural IR models and show that dense representations can be pruned effectively, giving new insights about essential semantic features and their distributions.
Cross-Language Information Retrieval in the MATERIAL Program
Douglas W. Oard, University of Maryland, USA
MAchine Translation for English Retrieval of Information in Any Language (MATERIAL) is a research program that includes Cross Language Information Retrieval (CLIR). Test collections of CLIR are used for set based rather then ranked retrieval and it evaluates using system generated English summaries to identify relevant documents. It also includes discussion on issues in design of evaluation and some open research options
An architecture for the automatic identification of arguments in legal documents
Paulo Quaresma, Universidade de Évora, Portugal
The talk will propose a threefold architecture to identify arguments in legal documents. The system identifies argumentative sentences, clusters them into arguments and identifies the structure of the arguments. The proposed system was implemented at the University of Évora and it was evaluated with an annotated ECHR corpus. The architecture will be described in detail and the extension of this work to other language and/or domains will also be discussed
Karin Verspoor, University of Melbourne
The language of biomedicine is varied and complex, with a plethora of surface variation, synonyms and name overloading occurring in a diversity of text types. This talk will explore the interaction between information extraction and information retrieval in the biomedical domain, arguing that normalization of concepts to ontologies and formal representation of relations is key to supporting effective retrieval of relevant texts in response to specific queries.
Machine Translation of Low Resource Languages
Pushpak Bhattacharya, IIT Patna, India
Machine Translation has always been an important problem, and data driven MT is the reigning paradigm today. However, absence of parallel corpora is a constraining factor which is a reality for most language pairs of the world. In this presentation we will describe our work on low resource MT, exploiting the techniques of factors, subwords, pivots and unsupervised Neural MT for translating between pairs of languages that have no or little parallel corpora. Our case studies are on various Indian Languages and English. We achieve significant performance improvement through the use of a combination of techniques.

2018 Ferrari 488 Pista First Drive: A First-Time You'll Never Forget
It has Ferrari's best weight-to-power ratio, and it's backed up by a stellar chassis.
By: Andrea Farina
There are moments that leave their mark, like the sum of all your fantastic "firsts". I was born a few kilometers away from Maranello; as a child, I would hang on fence around the track, living it from the outside. To find myself in Fiorano driving the new Ferrari 488 Pista for the first time was a mix of memories and emotions that only the Cavallino can create.
We Drive The Pista:
2019 Ferrari 488 Pista First Drive: Proving What's Possible
2018 Ferrari 488 Pista Prototype First Drive: Even Better Than The GTB
No special version has ever been so extreme. The list gives me goosebumps, from the first Challenge 348, the 355, 360 Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia designed with Michael Schumacher, up to the 458 Speciale (the name says it all). It is designed for speed, which is clear even when the motor isn't running; the aerodynamic refinement stands out with flashy elements that are functional. The Pista's efficiency is 20 percent more than the GTB due to modifications, including an internal S-Duct, the 488 GTE's lateral flicks, and ducts that move air from the sides to the rear spoiler, directly connected to the engine's air inlet.
How it Drives
It's a tradition for Ferrari: baptism by fire. Alongside Cavallino's head pilot, Raffaele De Simone, we take a few "warm-up" laps, which should explain it all. The Pista's smooth harmony in taking curve after curve is disarming, and over 180km/h, the aerodynamic downforce becomes evident.
My three laps in Fiorano (quality, not quantity!) surprised me. I never expected to drive with immediate confidence. The dual-clutch, 7-speed DCT transmission is said to be faster than 30 milliseconds in Race, but what impressed me the most was the violence of the change to the second clutch, which could be felt in the rear axle only when driving straight on.
I never expected to drive Fiorano with immediate confidence.
Brembo's fantastic braking system, taken from the 488 Challenge, has a master cylinder that shortens the pedal distance, giving the driver confidence when taking curves on the track (the real playground for this supercar).
The Pista is faster an more responsive than the GTB, and yet remains easier to control in oversteer. This balance is satisfying for the sports car lover, seeing as in CT-OFF, the new Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer system helps the driver "guide" the car in a small window of 30 to 40 degrees of yaw. With all the controls deactivated, it is full throttle, but the beauty of the highly-evolved CT-OFF is Ferrari's control's down-to-the-millimeter precision, smooth and accommodating for the driver. Despite its name (pista-track), the adaptive suspension is perfect for the road, especially on uneven asphalt.
It has 50 horsepower more than the GTB, and 115 in comparison to the 458 Speciale, all thanks to the important fine-tuning of the almost 4.0-liter, dual-turbo V8. It gives back with an impressive 720 horsepower at 8000 rpm and 568 pound-feet at 3000 rpm. It is 198 pounds less than the GTB, gracing the track as Ferrari's car with the best weight-to-power ratio in history. It's no problem believing that at Fiorano, the Pista did a lap in 1:21.5, two seconds less than the GTB and 458 Speciale.
The Pista is in direct competition in every aspect with the Porsche 911 GT2 RS and McLaren 720S, including the price. It costs 296,000 euro, excluding various options, like carbon-fiber wheels that reduce the car's weight by 20 percent. A big selling point is its availability: Ferrari's 488 Pista is not a limited edition, but will be manufactured for a limited amount of time, so if you are keeping your eye on it (and have the budget to make a move), make your move now!

Since last fall, I have been working with Matt. His situation is not uncommon. It is one thing to look like a good skier. It is another matter entirely to be able spread your wings and fly like a bird in free form, fluid skiing. A small number of skiers can ski at this elite level in boots right out of the box, with little or no modification. These are the skiers that rise to the top. Based on my experience, I estimate that this elite skier group makes up less than 0.5% of the skier population. But these are the skiers those such as Matt are chasing but never getting any closer to, no matter how hard they work at their skiing. Matt's problem isn't a lack of talent, fitness or athletic ability. Matt's feet are simply out of specification for most performance ski boots.
The reason I started this blog is to provide serious skiers like Matt with information that would help them realize their full potential. About a year ago, I started working with a small number of serious skiers and racers in different parts of the world, mostly by email. Since that time, I have learned a lot more than I previously knew about how equipment, especially the ski boot, can affect a skier. More important, I have learned a lot more about the process with which to correct and reverse these effects so skiers whose progress has stalled, can reach a higher level.
Matt knew that something was preventing him from realizing his potential.
The first thing I did was ask Matt to send me photos of his feet taken from top, sides and rear. Matt is solid and athletic. His problem is his feet, not in terms of their function, but in their inability to function within the constraints of pretty every performance ski boot.
In the photos below, Matt's big toes are angled inward and twisted outward. His forefoot is also wider than performance boot shells, which are narrower than recreational boots. A big clue to Matt's issues are the prominent heel spurs on both feet and the inflamed area outlined on the shank of his left foot. It was almost certain that his prominent inside ankle bones were in hard contact with the inside of the shells of his boots.
Although not as obvious, the front to back cross-section of Matt's leg, above the ankle bone, appears big in proportion to the length of his foot. The mass of Matt's calf muscle is also larger lower down on his leg than that of the typical elite skier. This issue is exacerbated by the large heel spurs that prevent Matt's foot from moving all the way to the rear of the liner and boot shell.
As far back as 1987, the importance of ankle flexion and maintaining the center of force on the shin was recognized by a number of preeminent authorities.
In Sports Medical Criteria of the Alpine Ski Boot – W Hauser P. Schaff of the Technical Surveillance Association, Munich, West Germany said, "Many alpine skiers have insufficient mobility in their knees and ankle. The range of motion, particularly in the ankles, is much too small".
In Ski-Specific Injuries and Overload Problems – Orthopedic Design of the Ski Boot – Dr. med. H.W. Bar, Orthopedics-Sportsmedicine, member of GOTS, Murnau, West Germany said, "Few forms of athletics place as high demands on the footwear used in their performance as alpine skiing. It (the ski boot) functions as a connecting link between the binding and the body and performs a series of difficult complex tasks. (my emphasis added) "The boot must assure freedom of mobility to the toes. This is accomplished by having a large enough inner shoe.
In my next post, I will discuss what's wrong with ski boots in general.
Every year or two I would go to the best boot fitter. In the beginning, my boots fit like a glove and performed as I would have expected. But, being in my boots over 100 days each season it wasn't long (2.5 months) before my feet had lost significant muscle and were sliding around inside the boots.
It should also be noted that I do a lot of walking around in my ski boots, which they simply were not made for.
I believe that for those of us who spend more than six weeks in our boots we should look at alternatives for comfort, performance but more importantly, prevention. That's why I proudly wear http://www.apexskiboots.com and feel free and fluid now.
What is the basis for your perception that a boot should 'fit like a glove'? I agree that boots are not made for walking significant distances in. However, if they are set up properly (few are) and the closures adjusted to allow for function of the lower limbs, walking is not cumbersome.
Apex boots provide an option for walking. They are also probably comfortable, But performance is another matter. Performance according to what criteria or standard? If you read my recent posts, especially the post on CARV where I provide details on tests done with hockey skates and cycling shoes fit with my technology, the improvement in performance on a quantifiable metric like force transfer was between 40% and 280%. Typical incremental improvements seen in conventional skates and cycling shoes are in the order of <2%, usually <1%. So if you are gauging performance based on your expectation, you could be underestimating your potential by close to 300%.

Rays clinch the American League East
Glasnow won his fifth game of the year./JEFFREY S. KING
Thursday, 3 a.m.
In the weirdest, wackiest baseball season of them all, the most normal sights of them all were the Tampa Bay Rays, celebrating yet another win.
The Rays -- champions.
Tampa Bay clinched the American League East title -- the third in their history -- and lead the league race for the No. 1 playoff seed with an 8-5 victory over the New York Mets.
It must have been surreal, standing on the Met's home turf of Citi Field, with no fans and no noise. There were cardboard cutouts around them,
and someone had brought confetti streamers, and someone else had brought cigars. But it was a strange celebration of a strong season.
Think of all the injuries, of all of the one-run games, of all the pitchers. Think of all the steals, of all the wins against the Yankees, of winning despite a batting order with holes in it.
"It was pretty exciting," said Rays' manager Kevin Cash. "I don't know if you can ever prepare for a moment that that. It's pretty special. I told the guys thank you, the many people who have been a part of this club. This is not an easy thing to do. There are not many people in this room who have been part of winning a division."
How did the Rays win this? They won it by winning 13 one-run games. They won it with 12 different pitchers collecting a save. They won it by beating the high-priced New York Yankees eight of 10 games. They won it by going 21-7 in August. They won it by winning 26 games inside the division. They have won 18 come-from-behind victories.
And now...they're in. If the playoffs began today, they would face the Toronto Blue Jays.
Even Wednesday night, it was great planning that led the Rays. Starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (along with Austin Meadows) came in a heist of a trade with Pittsburgh for Chris Archer.
Then, this year, don't forget the wisdom of trading away Jose Martinez to create a space for Randy Arozarena. Arozarena had two home runs in the 8-5 victory. Joey Wendle and Brandon Lowe also hit homers.
Now, after a weekend series against Philadelphia, the team starts the playoffs.

On the other side, aging parents face decisions about retirement, downsizing and increased health concerns. Oh yes, and right in the middle are the weary hero and heroine, trying to keep a marriage vibrant, maintain successful careers, have milk in the frig and pay the relentless bills on time. Lots of responsibilities and lots and lots of people to love and to serve.
As you try to juggle it all (and often feel like you're failing) a newfound sense of appreciation for your own parents begins to bubble up. Gratitude for the countless sacrifices and gifts you're finally realizing they have made on your behalf over the years.
Amidst the busyness of your life, it's easy to think that your parents will live forever. News flash: they won't! Life is moving quickly, and parents age, get sick and die, often unexpectedly. It's inevitable.
I have a plea to every one of you who is blessed to still have your parents on this earth: eulogize them while they are living! Tell them what they mean to you and put it in writing so that your words and sentiments can be read and re-read.
Recently, I received an email from someone who heard me speak several years ago. What fuel she provided to the importance of leaving nothing unsaid, and of telling our parents while they are here what their love and support has meant to us.
"I attended a luncheon in Atlanta a few years back at which you were the speaker. At the time, my mother was 86 and in relatively good health.
Around that same time, a good friend of mine's mother passed away. Afterwards, many of us were talking about her and how wonderful she was and sharing joyful memories. I immediately thought of things that you had said and realized that I did not want my mother to pass without hearing firsthand how I felt about her. We were close and as we both aged, got to be the best of friends. Right then, I sat and wrote her a letter recalling stories, memories of things we had done together and how they made me feel. I wanted her to know what a great job she did as my mother and how I felt badly for everyone else who didn't have her as their momma! I told her that it was a 'pre-eulogy' honoring her life and that I could not bear the thought of her passing away, and me getting up to eulogize and wonder if she knew how I felt about her. It confirmed for her that as my momma, she did a JOB WELL DONE.
I read it aloud and gave my copy to her that year for Mothers' Day. She was so honored and told me where she was putting her copy. She asked me to read it at her funeral.
She passed in November and I did just that. I am forever grateful to you for opening my eyes to this opportunity that I did not let pass. I have shared this with people every chance I get.
Please, please heed her advice. Don't allow excuses keep you from doing this for your aging parents. It's a loving act that you will never regret. With Mother's Day and Father's Day approaching, why not start now and begin writing letters to your parents? Your affirming words will mean more than any gift that money could ever buy.
If you need help, order a copy of Leave Nothing Unsaid. This easy-to-use workbook is designed to help you write a meaningful letter. And if you're really stuck, I'm available to help, too!
PS: You can also forward this blog post to your own children as a not-so-subtle hint!!

Protease Inhibitor-to-Isentress Switch is Effective, Lipid Friendly
July 19, 2010 • By Tim Horn
Replacing a Norvir (ritonavir)–boosted protease inhibitor with Isentress (raltegravir) may be an effective option—with improvements in blood lipid levels—for HIV-positive individuals with undetectable viral loads, according to the results of two Spanish studies reported Monday, July 19, at the XVIII International AIDS Conference in Vienna.
One study indicated that it may even be possible to switch to once-daily dosing of Isentress, as opposed to the standard twice-daily dosing of the drug, while also warning that switches from a Norvir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI) to Isentress—either once or twice a day—may only be suitable for patients who don't have a history of resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).
As was noted by Jose Gattell, MD, of the Hospital Clinic in Barcelona, who presented the results of the SPIRAL study on behalf of his colleagues, Norvir-boosted PI-based therapy has been associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease due, at least in part, to lipid effects. Isentress, Gattell pointed out, may show a better lipid profile, all the while being as effective as Norvir-boosted PI-based therapy in selected patients.
Eugenia Vispo, MD, of the Hospital Carlos III in Madrid, who presented data from the ODIS study, went one step further. Not only has Isentress demonstrated good antiviral activity and safety when dosed twice-daily, but its long intracellular half-life—concentrations of the drug remain elevated inside cells for several hours—might allow once-daily administration of Isentress among those switching to the drug from a Norvir-boosted PI.
The SPIRAL Study
The SPIRAL study enrolled 282 people living with HIV, all of whom were on a Norvir-boosted PI plus two other antiretrovirals (ARVs) for at least six months and had an undetectable viral load for at least 180 days. Of these patients, 142 switched their Norvir-boosted PI for Isentress (400 mg taken twice daily), and 134 patients remained on their pre-study regimen.
The primary measurement of the study was the percentage of patients free of treatment failure, for any reason, through 48 weeks of follow-up. Treatment failure was defined as virologic rebound (two consecutive viral loads above 50 copies), discontinuation of study therapy, disease progression or death. A secondary measure of the study was the proportion of patients with virologic failure at or before week 48 (the first of two consecutive viral loads above 50 copies at least two weeks apart).
Patients entering the study were, on average, 45 years old. Nineteen percent of those in the Isentress group were female, compared with 28 percent of those who continued Norvir-boosted PI therapy. Most patients entered the study using either Kaletra (lopinavir plus ritonavir) or Norvir-boosted Reyataz (atazanavir), with either Truvada (tenofovir plus emtricitabine) or Epzicom (abacavir plus lamivudine).
Before enrolling in the study, patients had been on an average of five ARV regimens. Thirty-eight percent had a history of virologic failure using previous regimens.
Eight-nine percent of those who switched to Isentress were free of treatment failure through week 48 of the study, compared with 87 percent of those who remained on Norvir-boosted PI therapy. As for virologic failure, this was avoided by 97 percent of those who switched to Isentress, compared with 95 percent of those who remained on Norvir-boosted PI treatment.
The average change in CD4 counts was similar in both groups. There was a 46-CD4 cell gain in the Isentress group and a 44-CD4 cell gain among those who remained on their Norvir-boosted PIs.
Adverse events, leading to study drug discontinuation, occurred in 2 percent of patients in both groups. Serious adverse events occurred in 4 percent of patients in both groups.
Of note, there were significant differences in blood lipid changes through week 48 of the study. Total cholesterol, for example, decreased by 11 percent in the Isentress group, compared with a 1.82 percent increase among those in the PI-treated group. Similarly, triglycerides decreased by nearly 21 percent in the Isentress group, compared with a 4.72 percent gain in the PI group. These differences were statistically significant, meaning they were too great to have occurred by chance.
The ODIS Trial
In the ODIS trial, Vispo's group randomized 311 patients to receive either twice-daily (73 patients) or once-daily (149 patients) Isentress, instead of their previously prescribed PI, after maintaining an undetectable viral load for at least six months. What's more, patients randomized to twice-daily Isentress who maintained an undetectable load for three months in the study were randomized again to either continue twice-daily dosing (35 patients) or switch to once-daily Isentress (38 patients).
The average age upon entering the study was 46 years. About 67 percent were male. The study volunteers had been receiving ARV therapy for an average of 101 months before entering the trial; 68 percent had a history of virologic failure; and 33 percent had a history of NRTI resistance. As with the SPIRAL study, almost all patients were on either Truvada or Epzicom upon entering the trial.
About 6 percent of the patients in the study experienced virologic failure—a rebound in viral load—after switching their PIs for Isentress. Among those in the once-daily Isentress group, 6.4 percent experienced virologic failure, compared with 2.9 percent of those in the twice-daily Isentress group. This difference, however, was not statistically significant.
As for those with prior virologic failure, the overall rate of virologic failure in ODIS was 8 percent. Among those in the once-daily Isentress group with a history of virologic failure, the rate was 8.7 percent. Among those in the twice-daily Isentress group with a history of virologic failure, the rate was 4.3 percent. Here, too, the difference was too small to be statistically significant.
There was, however, a statistically significant difference when looking at those with a history of previous NRTI resistance. Among those in the once-daily Isentress group with a history of NRTI resistance, 17.7 percent experienced virologic failure within 48 weeks of switching. Among those in the twice-daily Isentress group with a history of NRTI resistance, virologic failure occurred in 8.3 percent within 48 weeks of switching.
As was seen in SPIRAL, reductions in lipid levels were documented in ODIS.
In his conclusion of the SPIRAL study, Gattell remarked that, in patients with sustained virologic suppression on a Norvir-boosted protease inhibitor-based regimen, switching to Isentress demonstrated non-inferior efficacy and resulted in a better lipid profile.
Though the ODIS study lacked a control group involving patients who remained on a PI-based regimen for comparison purposes, Vispo also said that a switch from PIs to Isentress among people with undetectable viral loads effectively sustains viral suppression—as long as NRTI resistance has not be documented in the past. In this setting, she said, the efficacy of Isentress may not differ between providing the drug twice daily or once daily.

Story of Brigit – follow up and reintegration.
In the period January to March 2021, GVRC conducted follow up for two survivors who had been referred to Talia Agler girls' shelter for shelter services and protection. The case studies for the above-mentioned survivors are as follows:
BBR 2020
NATURE OF CASE
Social/family assessment:
Both parents are alive, but Brigit was brought up by her grandmother. Brigit has one sibling from a different father, but Brigit is the first born. Brigit mother gave birth to her when she was in class eight and she went back to school and the man who was responsible for the pregnancy refused to be responsible.
Brigit was referred to GVRC Rongai (Kajiado) branch by Kiserian police station. She was in accompanied by a policewoman.
The circumstances of the incident
BBR is a 20-year-old female currently living in Kiserian. She had gone to stay with her other grandmother away from the one who brought her up in Kisii. One day when Brigit was at home during the day, the uncle wrote a message to her telling her that he is on the way coming back. This did not bother Brigit although a lot of questions were crisscross her mind. On his arrival, he found Brigit and the 4-year-old baby watching the TV. The uncle told the boy to go and play from outside with chickens. Brigit decided to go to her bedroom and locked herself there. Since the uncle had spare key for the room, he easily opened the door and raped her. Brigit was afraid to tell anyone about the incident and since then, it became a routine for the uncle to rape her every time he needed to. The uncle raped her continuously for three months and it's during the third month Brigit never received her monthly period. It really scared her and it is the time she decided to open up and tell her grandmother what was happening for the last two months. Brigit told the aunt she was afraid of telling her. The aunt got furious towards her and she requested her to call her mother so that she could come and listen to her. When the mother came, she was siding with the Brigit mother and told Brigit that she was the one who was seducing the grandfather.
Brigit mother stepped on Brigit phone until it was broken into pieces. The following day, the grandmother begged her to do abortion, but Brigit refused. After two days, the grandmother brought her two types of pills. The aunt showed her which one to put under the tongue and to put in her vagina. Brigit suspected the pills were for abortion because the grandmother told her she will see a lot of blood coming out from her vagina and therefore she should not be scared. When the aunt turned to get a sanitary towel for Brigit, she got a chance to hide all the pills. Since the grandmother was supposed to go to work, she left the husband to monitor the behavior of the girl. After 2 hours, Brigit decided to leave the house and look for help in the nearby police station. When Brigit was walking towards the gate, nobody bothered her and that is how she managed to escape. Brigit went to where she used to take her computer classes to seek for help. One of her classmates directed her to the nearby police station. Brigit spend one night in the police station and the next day she was referred to Nairobi women for medical checkup. In the hospital she expressed herself to the protection.
The survivor is being referred to Talia Agler Girls' shelter (TAGs) where she will receive the necessary aid she requires.
Follow up was also done through phone. The survivor was now seven months pregnant. At this point, TAGS temporarily transfer the survivor to Kiota shelter. This is because TAGS do not have facilities to cater for delivery. On the other hand, Kiota specializes in taking care of pregnant girls and help them through delivery.
Follow up 3 – 18th, Feb 2021.
A physical visit paid to the shelter. The survivor was reported to have had a still birth. The survivor was grieved. She was still at Kiota shelter.
Follow up 4 – 16th, March, 2021
This follow up was made physically to the shelter. The survivor had returned to TAGS. Social assessment was done. She was still recovering from grieve after losing her child. She was taken through counseling session. Her main desire was to go back to her grandmother in Kisii. She wants to continue with her studies since she had a University admission letter to Masinde Muliro University.
Re-integration – 19th, March 2021
Brigit requested followed up. A communication was made to her grandmother and she was willing to take the girl back home. She was invited to Nairobi, where a social assessment was done. The grandmother was willing to take Brigit back to the university to continue with her education. She was finally allowed to take the survivor with her to Kisii. The survivor has since reported to be doing well, she is happy to be back home.

Pakistan has struggled to cope with the spread of polio, a debilitating viral disease. Human infections are frequently reported despite government and international agencies' efforts to eliminate the disease.[1] According to a World Health Organization (WHO) estimate, at least 72 polio cases were recorded in Pakistan in 2013, compared to 58 cases in 2012.[2] In 2014, the number of infected children had already reached 115 through August.[3] The most affected provinces of Pakistan are Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

Baton Wielding Jan 6 Rioter Finally Tracked Down And Arrested
Raymund Joseph Cholod, a 52-year-old Florida man identified by the Justice Department as hailing from Tallahassee, Florida, was arrested this week for his participation in last year's Trump-incited Capitol riot, where he repeatedly participated in confrontations with police.
It's unclear if Cholod ever made it inside the building, but beyond those who did so, prosecutors have also focused on riot participants who joined physical assaults on police officers. Cholod was in the crowd fighting police in the Lower West Terrace tunnel of the Capitol early in the afternoon, about a half an hour after rioters first made it inside the building elsewhere. Available details suggest he helped kickstart the fighting that quickly enveloped that tunnel, around which officers including Michael Fanone (who has since left the force) were attacked and injured.
"At approximately 2:40 p.m., police officers entered a passageway that connected the Lower West Terrace and the interior of the U.S. Capitol building (the "Tunnel") and began to form a protective line with riot shields behind a set of glass doors inside of the Tunnel," a court filing in Cholod's case says. Cholod was in the tunnel within about a minute, making his way to the front of the crowd, where video evidence shows he was essentially face-to-face with officers. "This is our house," he yelled. "This is our fucking house. They fucking stole it and you fucking know it. They stole it and you know it. They fucking stole it." Cholod also attempted to wrestle a riot shield from police. Throughout the afternoon, numerous participants in the Capitol violence stole police equipment and used pieces of it against officers. Cholod eventually exited the tunnel, after which point he hurled what photographic evidence indicates was a baton of some sort at police. It appears as though Cholod's usage of the item directly impacted his charges.
His charges now include assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon; and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a dangerous weapon. It appears as though the specification in the latter two charges that a dangerous weapon was used makes both felonies. The charge of assaulting officers alone comes with up to eight years in prison if found guilty. In the course of identifying Cholod, authorities consulted a variety of individuals, including a former supervisor and individuals at a hotel where he has previously stayed.

The recent face-saving reward plan by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for Petrol stations selling fuel at the approved pump price of N145 per litre, has been described as the height of defeatist strategy at a time realities on ground cannot support that.
The Group Managing Director of the Corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru, earlier in the week, presented what he called a commendation letter to Mrs. Victoria A. Samson, the Managing Director of BOVAS & Company Limited, an Ibadan-based petroleum marketing company, for consistently selling petrol at the approved price of N145 per litre.
During the presentation, Baru explained that his agency was fully convinced that it was possible for oil marketers to sell petrol at the approved price and still make a decent profit, urging other marketers to emulate BOVAS.
"It is on record that you have consistently demonstrated not only your ability to supply products to the market, but also to do so within the government controlled price of N145 per litre. You are even matching the NNPC Retail price by selling at N143 per litre. That is quite commendable".
However, an official of one of the major marketers who barred his mind on the development in Lagos described the move as "a defeatist strategy".
The official who did not want his name in prints said "Let me tell Nigerians, this face-saving publicity will not take the country anywhere".
"The situation Nigeria had found itself since last quarter of last year when the international price of crude oil rose above $50 is not what NNPC should play to the gallery with. Time has come for NNPC and most especially, Mr. President who has continued to double as the Minister of Petroleum to tell Nigerians the truth on why no independent marketer can buy fuel now and sell at N145.
"I think IPMAN had made it clear to the government and every Nigerian willing to listen that so far our refineries are not working and we are importing refined products, the current high crude price has shut up landing cost to above the official N138, meaning that any import now will be sold over and above N145. This is the truth Nigerians need to read and hear and not the cheap blackmail of giving a commendation letter to somebody we do not know how he or she gets the products in the first instance.
Continuing, the official recalled that "Last week or earlier in the week, the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun even made the clarification saying that at the moment crude oil price rises, the economy is in for two-edged sword".
"One; high income for the government on one hand and high cost of petrol on the other, period.
"So giving commendation letter or promising rewards for those that sell at N145 makes no sense.
"What makes sense is one; telling Nigerians the truth this time; working out an understanding that can support major marketers a soft landing by way of giving tax relief on landing cost or total return to subsidy regime. This is the truth and nothing but the truth, otherwise, this embarrassment will linger till 2019 election period, unless crude oil price crashes today.
