Flat roofs can be a continuing problem with damp penetration and short lives. Illustrated here are three examples; one of a flat roof with no laid incline, one with ponded rainwater due to inadequate incline and one with a slight pitch to the roof. The roof with chippings has moss growth and poor run off for water. In contrast the roof with some incline allows the water to run off .
Ponding of rainwater on a poorly laid roof can lead to short term erosion of the felt and damp problems.
Its best to get Chiltern Associates to perform a building survey and assess all of the flat roofs on your proposed purchase so you know for the future.

Editorial - (2016) Volume 8, Issue 3
More than 30 years after the identification of the first cases of AIDS, numerous advancements have occurred involving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of it. Despite all the advances and reduction of new cases in the world, Brazil maintains the persistent increase in the number of HIV infection and deaths. In this sense, the risk of perinatal infection also remains. Vertical transmission of HIV is a complex multifactorial process. The therapeutic and biomedical advances have not been sufficient to create a generation of children free of HIV. Thus, it is necessary to face other difficulties related to transmission of the virus, such as hunger, poverty, poor education, lack of access to health services and, in the existence of these, the quality of services provided. At the same time, so that the AIDS surveillance continue identifying the changes of HIV transmission patterns, it is necessary to improve the quality of information; build, understand and evaluate indicators; appropriately allocate resources, plan and monitor the impact of interventions.
<Keywords: HIV, Vertical transmission of infectious disease, Prevention of disease, Antiretroviral drugs
The term epidemiological surveillance date of the 1950 and originally meant the systematic and active observation of suspected or confirmed cases of communicable diseases and their contacts. In 1968 the epidemiological surveillance was the central theme of the 21st World Health Assembly where it was decided to expand the scope of the theme to cover most of the public health problems such as congenital malformations, poisonings in childhood, leukemia, abortions, accidents, occupational diseases, behaviors as factors risk, the use of chemical additives, among others [1].
The Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) incorporated the National Epidemiological Surveillance System established in 1975 by Law No. 6,259/1975 and Decree No. 78231/7 whose described the epidemiological surveillance as "a set of actions that provides the knowledge, detection or prevention of any change in the determinants and individual or collective health conditions, in order to recommend and adopt the measures of prevention and control of diseases and injuries" [2].
Despite the initiatives related to epidemiological surveillance, the epidemiological studies were the first to identify the main routes of HIV transmission, even before virus was discovered, a fact that enabled the implementation of prevention strategies by surveillance networks [3].
Many changes have occurred since the first cases of AIDS, including the transition to a manageable and chronic disease. The reduction of Aids mortality, added to continuous infection of new individuals, led to the increase of the population infected with HIV and the need for new confrontations [4]. The criteria for HIV/AIDS notification have been periodically revised to incorporate the current understanding of the disease and the necessary changes in medical practice. Over time, the AIDS surveillance data have identified changes in the patterns of transmission of HIV and reflect the effect of prevention programs on the incidence of HIV infection and coinfection [3].
HIV vertical transmission
Knowing the epidemiology of HIV vertical transmission is important due to the high vulnerability of women and low income population groups [5-8], either by the little control over the risk of being infected by HIV or by the little or no access to care and appropriate supports when infected. Added to all this, it is the pregnancy and immediate exposure of newborn HIV.
Transmission from mother to child is the main route of infection among children, accounting for over 90% of children in infections [9]. Risk factors for mother to child transmission include high maternal viral load [10-12], advanced maternal immune deficiency [13], prolonged rupture of membranes [14] and the presence of sexually transmitted infection, type of delivery, prematurity and drug use [15-17]. Risk factors related to transmission of HIV through breast milk have been less studied, but transmission by this route was associated with either viral load as subclinical mastitis [18].
The results of AIDS Clinical Trial Group Protocol 076 (PACTG 076) still represent the greatest discovery in the context of HIV vertical transmission. This clinical trial showed a 67.5% reduction in the rate of vertical transmission of the virus when adopted chemoprophylaxis with AZT and not breastfeeding [19].
Rate of HIV vertical transmission
In the absence of antiretroviral therapy, the rate of HIV vertical transmission varied between 15% and 45%. However, with the knowledge and availability of prophylaxis, the rate dropped significantly to less than 2% in some countries. To achieve this level, it was necessary to conduct tests for HIV research during prenatal care, incorporate therapeutic regimens and replace breast milk by artificial one [20-22].
In Brazil, the rate of HIV vertical transmission was estimated at 16% in São Paulo [23] and at 2.75% from 1996 to 2000 in Rio de Janeiro [24]. In Campo Grande-MS study conducted in HIV Reference Center from 1996 to 2001 described vertical transmission rate of 2.5% [25]. Another group of Rio de Janeiro State showed vertical transmission rate of 3.57% on 297 HIV positive pregnant women [26] while researchers of Porto Alegre identified data transmission rate of 3.2% [27]. A further study repeated by the group of Rio de Janeiro identified vertical transmission rate of 1.6% between 2002 and 2004 [28]. Still, in the state of São Paulo, when prenatal care coverage was 97% and prophylaxis of vertical transmission with antiretroviral 85.5%, a vertical transmission rate of 2.7% was observed [29,30]. A high-coverage public health prenatal program from Goias State described 2.01% as rate of HIV vertical transmission [31].
The decline in the rate of vertical transmission of HIV observed in some Brazilian states showed that it was possible to improve the current situation. For this, it was important to know the national rate of transmission of the virus. In the early 2000s, a study conducted in 20 states and Brasilia estimated vertical transmission rate of 6.8% [32]. The estimated national rate of vertical transmission of HIV suggests that the difference between the states is related to factors such as late diagnosis of HIV infection in pregnant women, poor compliance to the technical recommendations by the health services as not offering the serology for HIV during antenatal care and quality of care, especially in regions with lower service coverage and less access to health network [33].
In 2007, antenatal coverage in Brazil was above 85%, with a ratio of five prenatal medical appointments in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), but the pregnant care quality was short of needs. As a result of the efforts made in all areas of care, such as the mandatory offer of HIV testing in antenatal services and the implementation of the Program for Humanization of Prenatal and delivery in 2010/2011 it was found that approximately 99% of pregnant women had at least one prenatal medical appointment, and, 69.9% had six or more appointments. In the same period, the coverage for HIV testing in prenatal care increased from 51.6% in 2002 [34] to 62.3% in 2006 and 83.5% in 2010 [35]. However, despite increased testing coverage for HIV in pregnant women, the rates observed in the country still remain lower than the rates of many developing countries, such as Botswana, Ukraine, Thailand and Argentina, which exceed 80% [36].
The fight against HIV vertical transmission
The most important interventions to reduce MTCT recommended by the National STD and AIDS included in 2007 the need to identify and treat HIV positive pregnant women and their children [37] and the implementation of Stork Network in 2011 to ensure humanized attention and increase HIV testing in Primary care [38]. However, at the beginning of the fourth decade of the AIDS epidemic, it was necessary to expand the field of prevention.
The English acronym PMTCT refers to prevention of HIV from mother to-child transmission, which is based on four pillars that aim to prevent new HIV infections in children and keeping mothers alive and healthy families. The four pillars are: halving the incidence of HIV among women of childbearing age (pillar 1), reduce the lack of family planning among women with HIV (pillar 2), providing prophylaxis with antiretroviral drugs to prevent transmission of HIV during pregnancy, labor and breastfeeding (pillar 3), and care, treatment and support for HIV mothers and their families (pillar 4). Often, the acronym PMTCT is erroneously used to refer only to the pillar 3, which is the provision of antiretroviral [39].
It is important to state that in some developed countries, infection in children was almost eliminated [40]. In Cuba, vertical transmission of HIV is no longer a public health problem, and this was the first country to receive the WHO validation concerning the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis [41].
In developed countries, the knowledge, the availability and proper use of therapeutic and biomedical tools have been sufficient to reduce the transmission of HIV [42]. On the other hand, developing countries face other difficulties related to transmission of the virus, such as hunger, poverty, poor education, lack of access to health services and quality of services provided [43]. Brazil is between the two realities. It has one of the largest and most successful programs in the world of AIDS treatment and great social inequalities with its consequences.
When medical care is available and people have access to this, the next step to consider is the quality of health service. However, it has been identified flaws in the detection of HIV infection among Brazilian pregnant women at all stages of the process, since no prenatally link establishment and late identification of HIV infection, to the absence of serological test and unknowing of HIV status before delivery [32,44]. These failures directly reflect the ongoing incidence of HIV vertical transmission.
The quality of care provided in health facilities, including the quality on the records reflect on the quality of information, or in the absence thereof, by the notification forms. Incomplete or ignored information may not reflect the reality of services provided in health facilities and weaken the national program to reduce vertical transmission of HIV [45], as hinder the evaluation of care, interventions and more featuring detailed epidemic [46]. However, despite prophylactic coverage does not cover 100% of HIV-positive pregnant women, about 200,000 new infections among children have been prevented worldwide since 2001 [47].
Maybe it is time to improve over again the Brazilian epidemiological surveillance and interconnect the Laboratory Tests Control System (SISCEL), Logistics Medicines Control Information System (SICLOM), Prenatal Information System (SISPRENATAL), Information System for Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) and Mortality Information System (SIM). The crossing of databases is an appropriate strategy to improve the quality of information; build, understand and evaluate indicators; allocate resources appropriately and plan and monitor the impact of interventions [48].
The organization of the local service network, referral and counterreferral services, and improvement of the quality of health care is also a challenge. Other strategies that could also help include active search strategy for HIV pregnant women and the directly observed therapy used in tuberculosis cases.
However, considering the complexity of HIV transmission, the discussion would be partial if it did not approach the issues of HIV pregnant woman herself, such as difficulty of understanding health information and their own condition of seropositive, difficulty of using health services and, mainly to adhere to therapeutic procedures [6]. Some women even choose not to share their HIV status in prenatal environments due to potential disclosure risks, including loss of economic support, guilt, abandonment, physical and emotional abuse, discrimination and disruption of family relationships [49]. In this sense, it is necessary to implement strategies related to social determinants of health. Maybe one day not only Brazil but the world will be free of HIV.

One of the reasons cited to justify government intervention in health care is to correct the inequities in service provision that might arise if services are provided by private sector. But in practice government decisions are taken by a few individuals and groups and these decisions might reflect their interests than that of the community. The paper examines the role government provision of health services has historically played in Kerala
The science of health has been characterised by positivism and extreme rationalism, divested from its social and economic context. The use of social sciences is still confined in the prison of reductionism for with the increased interaction of the disciplines of medical sociology and psychology with health, there is a greater adherence to the quantitative method, nowhere more evident than the interaction of behaviourism to health. This, in turn, obfuscates both the causes of disease and ill health in a society and therefore, the quest for solutions. This study tries in its different sections to expose the handiwork of such deterministic sciences.
Some things never change. In a typically nonchalant move, ignoring past debate, medical and social facts, the health ministry has recently announced plans to introduce Net En, an injectable contraceptive on a trial basis in select medical colleges around the country. This is, no doubt, is a prelude to introducing it in the public health system, a move that the health ministry has long contemplated but has hesitated to make for a variety of reasons, not least of all, the opposition to it by women's and health groups....

A Kronecker product model is an exponential family whose sufficient statistics matrix factorizes as a Kronecker product of two matrices, one assigned to a visible set of variables and the other to a hidden set of variables. We estimate the dimension of the set of visible marginal probability distributions by the maximum rank of the Jacobian in the limit of large parameters. The limit is described by the tropical morphism: a piecewise linear map with pieces corresponding to slicings of the visible matrix by the normal fan of the hidden matrix. We obtain combinatorial conditions under which the model has the expected dimension, equal to the minimum of the number of natural parameters and the dimension of the ambient probability simplex. Furthermore, we prove that the binary restricted Boltzmann machine always has the expected dimension.

DAKAR (Reuters) - Soldiers in Mali have been responsible for killing at least 71 civilians since early December, a leading rights group said in a report on Tuesday.
Mali's military government contested the findings by New York-based Human Rights Watch.
Army abuses in the centre and southwest of Mali, including executions of the elderly and children, have risen as soldiers attempt to counter an Islamist insurgency that has swept across the country since 2012.
"There has been a dramatic spike in the number of civilians, including suspects, killed by the Malian army and armed Islamist groups," said Corinne Dufka, Sahel director at Human Rights Watch. The abuses likely amounted to war crimes, she said.
Over the same period, Islamist militants killed 36 civilians, Human Rights Watch said.
Mali's government did not respond to Reuters requests for comment.
It told Human Rights Watch that it was investigating a number of abuses outlined in the report but denied involvement in the gravest incident - a mass execution this month in which the charred bodies of 35 civilians were found in the Ségou region, some with holes in the back of their heads.
Witnesses told Human Rights Watch that among the dead were people recently arrested by the army. The United Nations is investigating the incident.
Mali's troubles date back to 2012 when jihadists took over a northern separatist uprising. Former colonial power France sent in troops which beat back the insurgents in 2013, but by 2015 armed groups linked to al Qaeda had rebounded and unleashed a wave of violence.
Attacks continue unabated, despite the presence of thousands of international troops and peacekeepers. Many areas are under the direct control of militants.
The situation has led to a breakdown in democracy. A military junta snatched power in 2020 in part because of frustrations over the government's inability to take control.
The military has in some cases acknowledged that its forces were implicated in executions and other abuses in recent years, but few have faced criminal charges.

Grass Kings creators Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins have reunited to investigate an unsolvable crime/mystery that's haunted history.
In Fear Case from Dark Horse Comics, Kindt and Jenkins follow a pair of rookie Secret Service agents who, in a bit of hazing, have been tasked to investigate a mysterious box - the titular Fear Case - that has been connected to innumerable crimes and murders, from the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. to Nazi death camps and even back to Aztec times.
"Whoever comes into possession of this case must pass it on within three days or face deadly consequences," reads Dark Horse's description. "The agents must track down this Fear Case while staying one step ahead of a psychotic cult and the otherworldly forces behind the Case's existence."
Check out this eight-page preview:
A chilling blend of True Detective and The Thing, Fear Case pits these two Secret Service agents against the case, the cult that formed around it, and their own mix of rightful questioning of this mythical force and the real fear that is bubbling as they learn more and more to find out its real.
"I've never written a story in the horror genre before. Real life is already so full of it," Kindt said in the book's announcement. "This is the most grounded thing I've ever written. And as a result, it's definitely the most horrific. I apologize in advance."
Jenkins has drawn the primary cover, with variants by Duncan Fegredo and Francesco Francavilla. Here they are:
Fear Case #1 (of 4) goes on sale on February 3.

Women Who Went Before is a gynocentric quest into the ancient world. Come along as hosts Rebekah Haigh and Emily Chesley interview the world's top scholars and unearth the history of women from the past. It's a history podcast and detective journey in one, sifting through texts and tropes to find the women who lived beneath.
Season 1 asks the big questions: How did male authors use women's stories for their own ends? How can we recover the women who lived and wrote and taught in the ancient Mediterranean? What spaces did women forge for themselves despite social and religious barriers? And why does this matter today?
Rebekah Haigh and Emily Chesley host, write, produce, and edit the Women Who Went Before podcast. Both are PhD candidates at Princeton University.
Rebekah specializes in Religions of Mediterranean Antiquity and is writing a dissertation that explores gendered piety and violence in the Dead Sea Scrolls and ancient Judaism.
Emily researches the History of late antiquity, and her dissertation studies women's social history in the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire from the 5th through 8th centuries.
The podcast emerged from an interdisciplinary reading group they organized in 2020-2021.
Moses Sun composed and produced the podcast's music.
Individual episodes were reviewed for accuracy by Jillian Marcantonio, Eliav Grossman, and George A. Kiraz.
Elio Lleo provided editing support.
Women Who Went Before is funded by the Center for Culture, Society, and Religion, the Program in Judaic Studies, and the Stanley J. Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies at Princeton University.
Preproduction of the podcast was made possible by the GradFUTURES New Media Studio and the inspiration of James M. Van Wyck.
The views expressed on the podcast are solely those of the individuals, and do not represent Princeton University.

Are you looking for an inexpensive way to commute to work daily? In our Golden Cycles review, we tell you why a bike can make you ditch your car for good.
I always thought my car was the only way to commute around the city. Owning a bicycle was never in my mind because I felt it was not practical. Traffic got worse and my daily commute to the city became harder. A colleague of mine rode to work every day. It was odd that he would beat me to work on two wheels while I had four. I decided to give biking a try. I got a Golden Cycles bike and the results impressed me. I was no longer late to work and I could plan my mornings better. Commuting became cheaper as I was spending less on gas.

A bicycle may not shield you when it rains, but it can beat any car through traffic. A Golden Cycles fixie is the type of bike that concurs the urban jungle. It has thick rims and rubber tires that grip the road better and perform under pressure. The frame features an old school BMX design. This bike also has more color variety than most bikes you find on the market.
Golden Cycles bike features a high tensile steel frame. The bike maker tig-welded the frame and forks to give the bike its smooth look. High tensile steel is also very tough and durable. it gives this bike the ability to perform under pressure with minimal wear and tear.
The handlebar boasts of quality alloy construction. It has the old school riser design popular with BMX bikes. One other thing to appreciate is the ample spacing between saddle and handlebar. It allows you to ride in an upright position with the arms stretched out. This riding position ensures you enjoy the ride without getting tired. The saddle to handlebar spacing also allows for bar spin clearance if you love to stunt on your bike. You will also not experience any toe overlaps on this bike.

Cubs still have faith Heyward's hitting will come around
During the season-ending news conference held by Cubs president Theo Epstein last October, I asked specifically about right fielder Jason Heyward.
Heyward's offensive numbers in 2017 were only marginally better than they were in 2016, his first season of an eight-year, $184 million contract with the Cubs.
My question to Epstein was: Considering Heyward's contract and minimal offensive production over two years, was the situation a bigger fix than anticipated or could Heyward improve more than marginally?
Epstein's lengthy answer is worth revisiting here:
"By definition, I think he can improve more than marginally from where he is right now because he's done it in the past," Epstein said. "He was a 6-win player, I think, in four out of five or four out of six years. That's really the standard. That's what we want to get him back to, being a 6-win player.
"In order to do that, he's got to continue to play his great defense, continue to run the bases really well - added benefit of everything he does in the clubhouse with his leadership and professionalism. But to be that type of player again, there needs to be some improvement with the bat to get back to that level, and we'd love to see that, which means driving the ball more consistently to all fields and getting on base more and being a little bit more of an extra-base threat.
"He's done it before. You're never going to give up that that can come back. But this is a guy who has a ton of pride and understands he's contributed to a lot of wins and to a World Series title and another successful season (in 2016) but that there's more he can do and wants to do. He's a proud guy. He's a talented player, and there's some room for improvement offensively."
When Epstein was talking about "6-win player," he meant wins above replacement (WAR). According to fangraphs.com, Heyward reached a 6 WAR twice, in 2012 with the Braves and in 2015 with the Cardinals. Baseball Reference is a little more generous, rating Heyward as a 6-WAR player in 2010, 2014 and 2015.
However you calculate it, there is indeed "room for improvement offensively." During his first season with the Cubs, he had a line of .230/.306/.325 with 7 homers and 49 RBI. And after working extensively with then-hitting coach John Mallee last spring, Heyward put up a line of .259/.326/.389 with 11 homers and 59 RBI.
Heyward won Gold Gloves in both seasons with the Cubs, and his rain-delay speech in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series is the stuff of legend.
But the offensive numbers are a far cry from those in 2012, when Heyward went .269/.335/.479 with 27 homers and 82 RBI with Atlanta.
With the Cubs, Heyward found himself on the bench for some postseason games in both 2016 and 2017, and he's off to a slow start this spring. Entering Wednesday, he was 4-for-26 (.154).
This spring also brought more work, this time with new hitting coach Chili Davis, who replaced the fired Mallee.
"It's been a very easy transition because he played for a long time," Heyward told cubs.com. "He switch hit, he knows how to talk 'feel' and things like that. Sometimes you may not need to talk about a mechanical thing, sometimes you just need to talk about feel or whatever, and it gets you in the right mindset and things fall into place that way.
"At the end of the day during a season, 162 games, that's what you need more than anything. You can work mechanics, you can work drills all you want, but the mindset going into that drill is important and the mindset going into each game and at-bat is important."
If manager Joe Maddon decides to sit the left-handed hitting Heyward against tough lefty pitching, Albert Almora Jr. can handle right field quite competently. Veteran Ben Zobrist has appeared in 392 big-league games in right field.
The big question is what happens if Heyward gets off to a slow start at the plate. Will Maddon stick with him, or does he become an expensive defensive replacement?
The ZiPS projection system has Heyward going .262/.335/.393 with 11 homers and 60 RBI this season. The PECOTA system of Baseball Prospectus projects Heyward at .261/.341/.395 with 11 homers and 52 RBI.

Corporate tax in the UAE
In January 2022, the Ministry of Finance (Ministry) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced its intention to…
In 1996 case In re Caremark International Inc. Derivative Litigation, 698 A.2d 959 (Del. Ch. 1996), the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware has ruled that a corporate board of a company must "make a good faith effort to exercise its duty of care. A failure to make that effort constitutes a breach of duty of loyalty".
Basically, the Caremark reflects on one on the basic principles of US corporate law called the "business judgment rule". This principle means that a Company's top management is liable not only for its own managerial decisions and their implementation. But also, if a director fails to exercise its "duty of care", their oversights of certain "red flags" and company's politics breaches are of consistent nature, and they lack a good faith in exercising their power, then the court may conclude that such director's is in breach of their "duty of oversight" to the company and its shareholders.
Before Caremark this criterion applied only to directors and C-Level Executives that are supposed to owe this duty to a company's shareholders.
However, in a recent (January 26, 2023) decision, the Delaware Court of Chancery has expanded the Caremark teaching from top management to junior management (Company's Officers in huge corporations). In this particular case, the defendant, former Global HR of one of the largest US corporations, even though he was not a member of top managerial bodies of this company, was found to have breached his "duty of oversight" by not establishing a safe and respectful environment for all the workers. Not only he did not prevent multiple harassment cases during his work as a top HR, but he personally was also found to be guilty in several cases of harassment against the coworkers.
The Delaware Chancery Court concludes that company's officers, being even "closer to the business" than directors and members of board of directors are, should be liable just as the directors if they oversight certain "red flags" in the area of their direct responsibility:
… that corporate officers owe a duty of oversight. The same policies that motivated Chancellor Allen to recognize the duty of oversight for directors apply equally, if not to a greater degree, to officers. The Delaware Supreme Court has held that under Delaware law, corporate officers owe the same fiduciary duties as corporate directors, which logically include a duty of oversight. Academic authorities and federal decisions have concluded that officers have a duty of oversight.
The fact that corporate directors owe a duty of oversight does not foreclose officers from owing a similar duty. Just as a junior manager with supervisory duties can report to a senior manager with supervisory duties, so too can an officer with a duty of oversight report to a board of directors with a duty of oversight. And just as a senior manager with supervisory duties can hold a junior manager accountable for failing to fulfill the junior manager's supervisory duties, so too can a board with a duty of oversight hold an officer accountable for failing to fulfill the officer-level duty…
The expansion of top management-only Caremark test to junior management and officers shows a huge responsibility such managers should have in their given field.

Many millions of species have existed in Earth's past. What distinguishes those which survive like humanity and those who don't survive?
And what is it about Man's ability to survive which has made us the dominant mammals on Earth?
In this book we look at the things man has done uniquely to succeed. This includes the use of fire for all of our existence as Home Sapiens and much of our history as hominids.
How have we survived floods, the ice age, huge volcanos and other disasters? And what about the development of weapons which made us better able to conquer other predators and provide food in a much better way?
The combination of fire and weapons has given us an incredible edge in the survival or our species. Domesticated Animals and Plants also gave people a huge advantage in survival.
This book examines what we know about human survival over the ages and how it has led us to where we are today.

Independent Communications Authority councillor, Rueben Mohlaloga says the authority is still waiting for confirmation from the SABC with regards to an EFF complaint in order for a court hearing date to be set.
This comes after the public broadcaster pulled an EFF election advertisement off air, citing that it incites violence.
In the advert, the EFF says it will physically destroy e-tolls in Gauteng if it gains power.
Earlier this month, the SABC also canned a DA TV advert on similar grounds, but restored it after a hearing by the same Icasa committee ruled in its favour.
Mohlaloga says the Complaints and Compliance Committee will hear a complaint from the SAPS on the same DA advert, which shows police aiming rifles at members of the public.
He says the SAPS complaint will be dealt as a different matter outside of that of the EFF.
The advertisement will be flighted until a decision has been made.
Mohlaloga says all these issues put the role of Icasa in the spotlight as an appeal authority for all broadcasters and all political parties concerned. – Edited by Paballo Lephaka

My First Concert Post-Pandemic
When the pandemic began, uncertainty was felt in every aspect of life. We couldn't leave our homes, much less go to an entertainment event. Going to a concert larger than a pub or house show hasn't been on my radar until recently. I've been wanting to go to a big show, something similar to a pre-pandemic concert. It just so happened that a friend of mine was seeing Greta Van Fleet in Albany on October 5th, and she had an extra ticket.
Am I the biggest Greta fan in the world? No. I was familiar with their music but not extensively. I'd liked what I heard from them so I figured this could be a great return to large concerts. By the time I arrived to MVP Arena, I was excited for the experience of sharing music with a large group, even if I didn't know many of the songs that would be performed. By the time I left, I was speechless, as it was truly one of the best live shows I've ever seen.
/*! elementor – v3.7.8 – 02-10-2022 */

To start the show the audience was introduced to 68-year-old Robert Finley. The blues and jazz inspired artist was not someone I had heard of before, but he got the crowd excited for what was to come. Accompanied by a band, which included his daughter, Finley put on an energetic performance that truly showed age is just a number. Linked here is his Spotify. I highly recommend checking him out if you like an old blues sound with a modern twist.
The second opener was Houndmouth. Before walking into the arena, I didn't know who the openers of the show were. When I saw the poster hanging up by the merch stand I got super excited seeing who the second opener was. The friends who were with me at the concert didn't really know who Houndmouth were or why I was so excited about an opener. After their performance, my friend sat next to me turned and said "I get why you were so excited." They played a mix of their newer and older songs and had an energetic stage presence. Houndmouth was a fun surprise for me, and a great energizer for what was to come. Their Spotify is linked here if you want to give them a listen.
Before Greta began their set, a curtain was lifted that surrounded the entire stage. (If you're curious, the cover photo is the curtain.) As lights illuminated the designs from behind the curtain, lead singer Josh Kiszka began a monologue whilst hidden from the audience. With the monologue concluding, the curtain dropped, and the band immediately went into Built By Nations.

By starting with Built By Nations, Greta let the audience know the explosive show we were in store for. And when I say explosive, I mean literally. Pyrotechnics illuminated the stage; the heat being felt on my face high up in the 200 section. If anyone in the audience wasn't convinced that this show would be electric, Greta quickly put those thoughts to bed.
Part of the setlist included Heat Above, Broken Bells, Light My Love, and other songs from their 2021 album The Battle At Gardens Gate. Each song grew off each other, creating a captivating experience. Every person in the audience was so engrossed in the performance that time seemed nonexistent. When the last notes of The Weight of Dreams rang out, the ending of the show felt surreal. No one was ready to leave quite yet. Cheers of 'Greta, Greta' roared through the venue.
The band wasn't ready to end the show either and came back out for an encore. Their return to the stage had them playing Age of Man, a track off their 2018 album Anthem of the Peaceful Army. Fans were ecstatic and the band only aided in the audiences excitement as they geared up for their final song. Josh asked the audience, "One more? Something like a grand finale of sorts?" Jake Kiszka then started the intro for Highway Tune, a song from their 2017 album From The Fires.
The audience went crazy upon hearing the opening guitar riff. The show ended the way it started: explosive. When the lights finally came up and the show ended, I sat there for a moment and took in all that I just witnessed.
Final Thoughts
Going into this show I didn't know what type of experience a Greta Van Fleet concert would be. I only hoped that the songs would sound somewhat similar to what I've heard in digital recordings. To say my small expectation was blown out of the water is an understatement.
Josh sounds the same in person as he does on my phone. With a voice as unique as his I didn't know if it would translate the same in person as it does in recordings. He was phenomenal from the first lyric to the last.
The talent from every member of this band was otherworldly. Jake had a several fantastic guitar solos, one of which was a several minute solo played behind his head. Sam expertly switched between the bass and keys, never having anything other than smooth transitions. And Danny killed his drum solos, one lasting well over five minutes, never once dropping in intensity.
While the show itself was fantastic, I wanted to take a moment to recognize the phenomenal staff at MVP Arena. Particularly, the medical personnel and security. During Houndmouth, a fan in the pit fell unconscious. Houndmouth stopped their set and security quickly cleared a path to get the fan the help they needed. Throughout the rest of the night, I noticed almost a dozen people pulled out of the pit for various reasons. The staff at the arena were on top of keeping the fans safe and should be recognized for their continuous efforts throughout the show.
I never wanted this concert to end. Greta Van Fleet are truly great performers and someone you should add to your concert wish list. After not having seen live music in this capacity for over two years, it was more than I could have asked for. Now if you excuse me, I need to go rewatch all of the videos I got from the show.

A rainbow has appeared over Buckingham Palace amid fears surrounding the Queen's health.
Concerns for Her Majesty escalated earlier today when the Palace announced that the 96-year-old was under medical supervision.
Since the news was announced, crowds have been gathering outside the Queen's residence in London as the world awaits news on her condition.
And in one video posted to Twitter, a large rainbow has formed outside.
A statement from the Palace released earlier this afternoon, said the Queen was at her home in Balmoral and 'comfortable'.
It read: "Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision.
"The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral."
Clarence House said The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall had travelled to Balmoral to be with the Queen, and that the Duke of Cambridge was also travelling up.
However, no further information about the Queen's condition was offered.
Following the announcement, Prime Minister Liz Truss said: "The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime.
"My thoughts – and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom – are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time."
Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle also shared his best wishes with the country's monarch.
He told MPs: "I know I speak on behalf of the entire House when I say that we send our best wishes to Her Majesty the Queen and that she and the royal family are in our thoughts and prayers at this moment."
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said he was 'deeply worried' by the news and that he was hoping for the Queen's recovery.
He wrote in a tweet: "Along with the rest of the country, I am deeply worried by the news from Buckingham Palace this afternoon.
"My thoughts are with Her Majesty the Queen and her family at this time, and I join everyone across the United Kingdom in hoping for her recovery."

This quilt top began with the leftovers of a set of fabric in the Alegria lin from Cloud 9 by designer Geninne Zlatkis that I bought about eight years ago and used to made a little spring/summer bunting. I had planned to make the rest into a table runner, but when I sat down to make a list of things to finish this year (this year being my year of finishing all the things), the idea just didn't excite me. Did I really need another table runner? And wouldn't it just get all stained and dirty from the sloppy people I live with?
Instead I would make a quilt--a quilt for my own bed, which I've never made before. It would be both pretty and practical. C and I use a down comforter most of the year, but there are a few weeks in the summer where it's too warm for goose feathers. But even on those hot nights, when I lie down beneath a sheet and thin blanket an C sprawl on top of the blanket with a fan blasting him (which I turn off, because I can't stand to sleep with a fan blowing), he ends up getting up in the night and rummaging in the closet to find additional blankets, which inevitably don't fit my aesthetic--scratchy red wool things. I've been meaning to make a summer quilt to solve this problem for a long while.
I was able to find a couple of pieces from the Alegria line online, enough to make borders (albeit in two different colorways), but I had to find other fabrics to fill out a whole quilt. I went with another Cloud 9 line, Birds & Branches, as well as fabrics from Cotton & Steel and Rifle & Paper, all selected from tiny pictures on the internet, with great hopes that they would all work together, since the quilt stores around me are still closed. I added in some fabric from my stash, including a couple of Kaffe Fasset prints (there always has to be Kaffe Fasset) and then arranged them in 4-patch blocks, because I was afraid just random arrangement of all this disparate fabrics would be too much, even for me.
Since I chose a pattern of 4 and 8-inch squares, it came together quickly, and I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out, even though it's more pastel than bright, which is my general go-to color zone.

Axolotls are fascinating creatures and superheroes of the amphibian world. They have always been known for their extraordinary power to regenerate their body parts, a very rare ability. However, despite their fascinating looks and incredible abilities, Axolotls are presently facing extinction and are on the verge of becoming completely extinct. Some of their dangerous enemy in the form of habitat loss, pollution, invasive species, and over-exploitation are continuously lessening Axoltol's number.
Axolotls are native to the Xochimilco canals of Mexico City. However, even their most natural habitat from where they originate is rapidly disappearing. These creatures now have nowhere to go, and even a shift of habitat isn't of any great help. What is disturbing their existence in Mexico City is canal water is now polluted with chemicals and litter. Axolotls are freshwater amphibians, and this toxic environment isn't healthy for these salamanders. And to even worsen it, invasive species, including carp and tilapia, have been found in the canals. Both these animals are preying on the axolotls and competing for resources making their existence even more difficult.
Join us to learn more about Axolotls and what is making these amphibians critically endangered.
Axolotls- An Introduction
Axolotls, or the Peter Pan of the animal kingdom, have gathered enough attention for quite a lot of years now. These captivating creatures are known for their ability to regenerate their organs and remain in a juvenile state for life. Axolotls are a type of salamander that have been studied for their potential use in medical research.
However, Axolotls are facing a critical threat of extinction today. This is happening due to habitat loss, pollution, and overexploitation. Presently, it is very important to take action and protect these amazing creatures. Doing so is important to ensure their survival for future generations.
Where Are Axolotls Found In the Wild?
Axolotls are exclusively found in the Xochimilco Lake complex near Mexico City, their natural habitat in the Wild. Their appearing home basically comprises Lake Xochimilco and a network of man-made canals and waterways. All of these intersect throughout Mexico City. Axolotls live in a high-altitude region where the average water temperature is around 20°C. The water temperature stays the same even during winter months, ideal for these neotenic creatures.
Since they were recognized, and maybe even before, Axolotls have been an important part of Mexican culture. They are addressed in the local mythology as creatures as an embodiment of an Aztec god. He is believed to have transformed himself into a salamander to avoid being sacrificed. Besides this belief, Axolotls are also a local delicacy in Mexico City amongst some local indigenous communities. Presently to involve them in food items, Overfishing has contributed to Axolotl's critically endangered status.
Why Are Axolotls Endangered?
Axolotls are fascinating and unique creatures that are not on the verge of extinction. They have played an important role in Mexican mythology but are now lessening in number rapidly.
According to the IUCN conservation index, Axolotls are critically endangered. The sharp decline in their number is a real threat leading to them going extinct in the near future. A study by Mexican biologist Luis Zambrano revealed that there were 6,000 axolotls per square kilometer in the Xochimilco Lake complex in 1998. However, this number has declined today, and there are chances of only a very hundred Axolotls being in the Wild today.
The decline in the number of Axolotls is due to several factors. Firstly, the rapid development of Mexico City has increased water pollution within the Xochimilco network. This led to making some areas in the Canal inhospitable for aquatic life. Another major factor is Overfishing, which has become another biggest threat to axolotl numbers. It is due to their consumption as a delicacy on the rise. Besides that, the introduction of invasive species and climate change are also contributing to the decline of Axolotl populations.
Presently, more than that in the Wild, there are now more axolotls in captivity. However, keeping Axolotls in captivity isn't a solution to keep their population intact. In order to save them from extinction, several renewed efforts are taken. These creatures are placed in strategic positions around Mexico City's canals. Biologists and scientists are working on different projects with the aim of reintroducing lab-bred individuals back into Xochimilco. This will encourage natural breeding and thus may boost the numbers of Axolotls. However, the success of this particular effort is yet not measured.
Why are Declining Axolotl Populations Concerning?
The declining axolotl populations are concerning for a lot of reasons. Axolotls are among the most studied freshwater creatures in the world. Scientists and researchers claim that Axoltols are unique, and their genetic makeup gives more ideas for learning. Their ability to regenerate limbs and stay in their juvenile state forever in life has kept researchers' curiosity. Scientists believe that Axolotols may have great value for human medicine. They may also be used in the treatment of certain degenerative diseases.
Besides that, the inbreeding of axolotls in captivity have impacted their long-term health and genetic characteristics. This will weaken their value from a biological standpoint. The number of inbred animals can also negatively impact their conservation efforts, including diseases and deficiencies. In addition, until significant conservative efforts are made to safeguard axolotls in the Wild, the species will continue to face a real and imminent threat of disappearing. Not only Axolotls but their natural habitat is also reduced due to the explosion of Mexico City's population. Also, invasive species and pollution have contributed to the same.
Axoloitls are a microcosm of conservation in the 21st century. Nevertheless, conservation is key to the future of this unique and remarkable species.
How Many Axolotls Are Present In Wild Today?
Presently there are only 700 to 1200 Axolotls left in the Wild. According to some concerns, their population may be even lower now. Axolotls haven't been seen in some areas of Mexico City for over a year now. The decline in axolotl populations is a cause for concern as Axolotls face an imminent threat of disappearing.
How Many Axolotls Are Present In Captivity Today?
According to an estimate, there would be roughly as many as 1 million Axolotls in captivity worldwide. Not only as pets, but Axolotls are kept in research labs, universities, and private collections as well.
Axolotls, though, are native to Mexico City, but they are also popular in many countries as pets and research animals. They are found in areas of the United States and the United Kingdom, Japan, and China. Besides these countries, Axolotls are also found in captivity in many other cities of the world. There are multiple axolotls in captivity due to their popularity as research animals.
What Would Be The Impact If Axolotls are Extinct?
The extinction of axolotls can have several significant scientific and ecological impacts. Axolotls are crucial in scientific research, all thanks to their unique regenerative abilities. Scientists believe that this can potentially lead to breakthroughs in human medical treatments. If we lose Axolotls, we may also lose the significant potential for medical advancement.
Apart from that, ecologically, Axolotls are important in the aquatic ecosystem. Axolotls are apex predators who help maintain the balance in their natural habitat. They keep a population check of smaller organisms. Their extinction could potentially lead to an overpopulation of these smaller organisms. It can further have detrimental effects on other species in the ecosystem.
Axolotls are also a part of the cultural heritage of Mexico. They are deeply ingrained in the history and mythology of the city. The Aztecs inhabited this region before the Spanish conquest, and centuries before, they viewed axolotls as symbols of transformation and healing. If we lose Axoltols today, we will lose a significant cultural heritage and identity for the Mexican people.
Lastly, losing axolotls also means loss of biodiversity. They are essential for maintaining the health and resilience of ecosystems. Losing them will have a ripple effect on the ecosystem.
How Can We Save Axolotls?
Saving the Axolotl from extinction will require a multifaceted approach. It is important to address the immediate threats these creatures face in Mexico City's canals. Protecting wetlands and controlling the introduction of invasive species will improve their condition in the Wild.
However, doing so will require cooperation from government agencies, conservation organizations, and local communities. Another important thing that can be done is to support captive breeding programs. Doing so will help preserve genetic diversity and prevent inbreeding. Programs like these will serve as a source for reintroducing axolotls in their natural habitat.
Public awareness campaigns have always been helpful in the majority of such causes and so will be in saving Axolotls. As we will educate people about the importance of preserving Axolotls, the threats will significantly reduce. Besides that, scientific research can help unlock the secrets of the Axolotl's remarkable regenerative abilities. Theirs is yet a lot to learn if this ability can help in saving the extinction of Axolotl species.
Ultimately, saving the Axolotl from extinction will require a long-term commitment. Individuals, communities, and governments will have to come together and make equal efforts. The right combination of conservation efforts can possibly preserve this fascinating species for future generations.

Mark Cavendish denies he's about to quit the Tour de France
Cycling Weekly understands the plan was for Mark Cavendish to leave the Tour de France after stage 16, but the Manxman may have other ideas
Mark Cavendish has sprinted to four stages so far in the Tour de France, more than many imagined possible, but is finding it hard going as the race enters its third week. A decision to pull the plug could come soon with his next goal in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics on the horizon.
The Dimension Data sprinter worked to deliver Edvald Boasson Hagen to the victory in Berne, Switzerland, but as he moved up to do so, the group swerved right and closed him out. It would have created an even bigger celebration for Mandela Day – one year since Steve Cummings took the South African team's first Tour win in Mende.
"I'm happy. We've won a third of the stages already, and still more to come hopefully. We missed an opportunity today, but tried our best," Cavendish told Cycling Weekly after stage 16.
He sat and rose slowly with his muscles still sore from today's effort and the last 16 stages. It is nothing new to him as he already finished six editions of the Tour.
Watch: Highlights of stage 16
Cycling Weekly understands the plan is for Cavendish to head home on Tuesday and return to the Manchester track to build for Rio. Cavendish, though, said that he must assess his level of fatigue before deciding.
"That was hard today. And yesterday, but I'll see how I recover tomorrow," Cavendish added.
"Every day someone has asked me if I'm going home in the last week. I even went for the green jersey points [on stage 16], which I don't think [I would do] if I was planning on stopping."
The race stays in Berne on Tuesday for its second of two rest days. It will be a moment for Cavendish to reflect on how far he has come in this Tour de France and what is ahead in the Omnium, three weeks after the Tour pulls in to Paris.
Before the Champs-Élysées, where Cavendish won four consecutive years from 2009 to 2012, the race covers four tough Alpine stages and the Manxman is starting to feel the heat in more ways than one.
"The heat has been a factor for the whole tour for me. Unusually, I train in Italy before the Tour, but this time I was in the velodrome in Manchester, I haven't seen the sun.
"The heat has been the biggest factor for me in this Tour. Even in the mountains, my inability to climb this year has been more a case of the heat than the actuall gradients."

MASSILLON, Ohio — The heroic actions of several Massillon police officers this past weekend was caught on body camera as they rushed into a burning house to save four people and their pets.
According to the Akron Beacon Journal/Ohio.com, Officer Ryan Wood had just finished responding to an emergency medical call when he saw smoke pouring out of a home near Eighth Street and Commonwealth Avenue NE.
Wood and two other officers—Joseph Williams and Anthony Crabtree—found the burning house in the 700 block of Commonwealth Avenue.
The officers ran inside the burning building and helped the residents out, the Akron Beacon Journal/Ohio.com reported. The residents were unaware that the back portion of the house was on fire when officers arrived.
The video shows the officers rounding up the pets in the house, including one that was inside a dog kennel.
After getting everyone out of the burning structure, Williams used a garden hose that was attached to a neighboring house to control the flames until the fire department arrived, Akron Beacon Journal/Ohio.com reported.
Thanks to the officers' quick response and actions, no one was injured in the fire. Authorities say the fire may have been ignited by a smoldering cigarette, the Akron Beacon Journal/Ohio.com reported.
