President Trump's tweet questioning why Christine Blasey Ford didn't immediately report being sexually assaulted in the 1980s inspired the hashtag #WhyIDidntReport on social media, as woman shared the many reasons they didn't come forward with earlier abuse.
An author and the host of ''Top Chef,'' Padma Lakshmi was one of those who came forward with a harrowing tale of her own sexual abuse. Writing in The New York Times on Tuesday, Lakshmi, recently names a visiting scholar at MIT's Center for Gynepathology Research, expanded on the conversation about her own past that she began after Trump's tweet.
''I have been turning that incident over in my head throughout the past week, as two women have come forward to detail accusations against the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh,'' she wrote. ''On Friday, President Trump tweeted that if what Dr. Blasey said was true, she would have filed a police report years ago. But I understand why both women would keep this information to themselves for so many years, without involving the police.''
Lakshmi said she was raped on New Year's Eve at the age of 16 when she was still a virgin, by the 23-year-old man she was dating. After a night at a couple of parties, she had fallen asleep at the apartment of the man, whom she did not name.
She said that she did not report the incident to the police, or tell her mother, writing that she had not fully understood the experience despite the trauma inflicted on her.
''We had no language in the 1980s for date rape. I imagined that adults would say: 'What the hell were you doing in his apartment? Why were you dating someone so much older?' '' she wrote. ''I don't think I classified it as rape — or even sex — in my head. I'd always thought that when I lost my virginity, it would be a big deal — or at least a conscious decision. The loss of control was disorienting.''
She also described another incident of sexual abuse, when she was 7 years old and a relative of her stepfather touched her between her legs and put her hand on his penis, she said. Her mother and stepfather had sent her to India to live with her grandparents after she told them, giving another reason why she was perhaps reluctant to speak out in the future.
''The lesson was: If you speak up, you will be cast out,'' she said. ''These experiences have affected me and my ability to trust.''
Lakshmi said that she's been telling her 8-year-old daughter to yell if anyone ever does something to make her physically uncomfortable and tell someone about it later.
''I have nothing to gain by talking about this,'' she wrote. ''But we all have a lot to lose if we put a time limit on telling the truth about sexual assault and if we hold on to the codes of silence that for generations have allowed men to hurt women with impunity.''

NEW YORK—Mayor Bill de Blasio indicated today he's ready to drop his request for state approval to tax wealthy NYC residents if funding provided by the state is stable enough to provide for universal prekindergarten.
"I'm absolutely open to an alternative that gets the job done," he said during Monday's "Morning Joe" program on MSNBC, adding emphasis to the second part of the sentence. Yet he still maintained that his idea to increase income taxes on people earning over $500,000 is the best option.
The mayor, and the governor, who repeated his offer to fund pre-K with state funds again Monday, appeared to be moving toward a state funded solution.
Then in a dramatic turnaround, at 8:30 p.m., the mayor's office released a statement praising Speaker Sheldon Silver and the Assembly majority for committing to "stable, sufficient and dedicated funding needed to ensure full-day pre-K for every child in New York City—as well as after-school programs for every middle-schooler."
"Together, these legislators are standing up for our families and our future," de Blasio stated.
De Blasio was referring to a bill sponsored by New York state Sen. Adriano Espaillat authorizing de Blasio's rich tax.
The bill "authorizes the increase of tax by .75 percent on city taxable income greater than $500,000 to fund universal pre-kindergarten and after-school programs."
Cuomo's Offer
In his budget proposal, Cuomo offered $1.5 billion over five years to fund pre-K statewide. That is less than the $1.7 billion de Blasio planned for the city alone.
But the governor repeatedly said he has whatever money pre-K will need.
"Forget the numbers," Cuomo said Monday on WNYC's "Brian Lehrer Show." "As quickly as cities can bring it online, we will fund it."
He pointed out even the mayor's tax plan wouldn't be rock solid. "There's nothing that says if you pass a tax you can't undo the tax," Cuomo said.
De Blasio said he would accept Cuomo's offer if it guarantees enough money for five years, but despite their "very good conversations," they weren't able to find a common approach.
"We haven't gotten to the point of a five-year plan that we could actually hang our hat on," de Blasio said.
The rich tax would yield some $530 million, $340 million of which would serve to expand the city's pre-K to full day service for all 4-year-olds.
The rest of the $190 million would double the seats of middle school after-school programs.
Multiple after-school providers told Epoch Times that their funding, both private and public, had declined in recent years and they have no way to expand their services without new money, despite existing demand.
Cuomo did not mention funding for the after-school part of de Blasio's education plan.

The speech by Reuters' Tom Glocer hailed by Jeff Jarvis has been published in the Financial Times (a couple of weeks after it published a snarky, fairly clueless piece diminishing blogs). It has been a long time since I thought of Reuters as anything other than a dozy company, but Glocer is pretty spot on:
First, media companies need to be "seeders of clouds". To have access to high-value new content, we need to attract a community around us. To achieve that we have to produce high-quality content ourselves, then display it and let people interact with it. If you attract an audience to your content and build a brand, people will want to join your community. This is as true for traditional "letters to the editor" as for MySpace.com.
Second, we need to be "the provider of tools". This means promoting open standards and interoperability, which will allow a diverse set of consumer-creators to combine disparate types of content.
Third, we must improve on our skills as the "filter and editor". Media have always had these functions. The world will always need editing: consumers place value in others making decisions about what is good and what is not.
After all, just because everyone now has the ability to publish their own work does not make them the next Salam Pax, the pseudonymous blogger at the time of the invasion of Iraq. It is our job as media companies to find that new content gold in the pan of dust and dirt and give it a mass audience.
In the news industry, professional and "amateur" content combined creates a better product. It tells the story at a deeper level. Take the tragic Boxing Day tsunami in 2004. For the first 24 hours the best and only photos and video came from tourists. By day two, professional news organisations got to the scene and captured the horror of the aftermath, influencing the international response by capturing the sheer scale of the disaster. A pro-am co-operation meant telling the story at another level – the horror of the wave strike and the tragedy of the aftermath.
You have to be open to both amateur and professional content to tell the story completely. I believe that professional articles and photographs, if available, will generally be authoritative. But, in the first instance, they can be complemented by content created by amateurs.
We are now at our crossroads. Old media – and I now would include the first wave of online publishing – have a choice: integrate the new world or risk becoming less relevant. Our industry must not fall into the old protectionist strategies that defined the first phase of the internet. The internet was not invented just to show a replica of yesterday's newspaper with a few banner advertisements. We cannot be the choke-hold, blocking the new creators in a bid to protect our legacy businesses.

The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
When I was a young man I carried my pack
And I lived the free life of a rover
From the Murrays green basin to the dusty outback
I waltzed my Matilda all over
Then in nineteen fifteen my country said Son
It's time to stop rambling 'cause there's work to be done
So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
And they sent me away to the war
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As we sailed away from the quay
And amidst all the tears and the shouts and the cheers
We sailed off to Gallipoli
How well I remember that terrible day
How the blood stained the sand and the water
And how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay
We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter
Johnny Turk he was ready, he primed himself well
He chased us with bullets, he rained us with shells
And in five minutes flat he'd blown us all to hell
Nearly blew us right back to Australia
But the band played Waltzing Matilda
As we stopped to bury our slain
We buried ours and the Turks buried theirs
Then we started all over again
Now those that were left, well we tried to survive
In a mad world of blood, death and fire
And for ten weary weeks I kept myself alive
But around me the corpses piled higher
Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over tit
And when I woke up in my hospital bed
And saw what it had done, I wished I was dead
Never knew there were worse things than dying
For no more I'll go waltzing Matilda
All around the green bush far and near
For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs two legs
No more waltzing Matilda for me
So they collected the cripples, the wounded, the maimed
And they shipped us back home to Australia
The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane
Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla
And as our ship pulled into Circular Quay
I looked at the place where my legs used to be
And thank Christ there was nobody waiting for me
To grieve and to mourn and to pity
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As they carried us down the gangway
But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared
Then turned all their faces away
And now every April I sit on my porch
And I watch the parade pass before me
And I watch my old comrades, how proudly they march
Reliving old dreams of past glory
And the old men march slowly, all bent, stiff and sore
The forgotten heroes from a forgotten war
And the young people ask, "What are they marching for?"
And I ask myself the same question
And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
And the old men answer to the call
But year after year their numbers get fewer
Some day no one will march there at all
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
And their ghosts may be heard as you pass the Billabong
Who'll come-a-waltzing Matilda with me?

History & Synopsis
"And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is a song written by Scottish-born Australian singer-songwriter Eric Bogle in 1971.[1][2] The song describes war as futile and gruesome, while criticising those who seek to glorify it. This is exemplified in the song by the account of a young Australian soldier who is maimed at the Battle of Gallipoli during the First World War.
The song incorporates the melody and a few lines of lyrics of "Waltzing Matilda" at its conclusion. Many cover versions of the song have been performed and recorded.
The song is often praised for its imagery of the devastation at Gallipoli. The protagonist, a drover before the war, loses his legs in the battle and later notes the death of other veterans with time, as younger generations become apathetic to the veterans and their cause.
In May 2001, the Australasian Performing Right Association, as part of its 75th Anniversary celebrations, named "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time.[3]

Rihanna's former church pastor has told her that she should stay away from her ex-boyfriend, the singer Chris Brown.
The 'Talk That Talk' star caused controversy when she recently collaborated with Brown on a remix of her track 'Birthday Cake'. Brown had previously attacked her on the evening of the 2009 Grammy Awards and was subsequently sentenced to five years of probation and six months of community labour, with a US court rejecting his plea to end his probation term last month (February 10).
In an interview with The Sun, Bishop Vibert Lowe of Barbados said that the singer should not become too close to Brown, stating:
After all he did, I'd tell her to steer clear of him. He's not the correct influence on her life.
Lowe also criticised Rihanna's sexualized image and high-profile partying. "A lot of people have been praying for her and hoping that she will drop these bad habits," he added. "We feel it's wrong for her to behave like this. As a young lady, she's not setting a good example.
"Young people look to her as a mentor, they regard her as an idol and copy her lifestyle. There are people on the island who think she parties way too hard."
His comments come less than week after singer Will Young claimed that Rihanna was a poor role model for women (March 8). The Pop Idol winner said that her lyrics weren't empowering, adding: "Women in a patriarchal society should be empowering and owning their bodies, I don't think Rihanna is. I feel quite strongly about this."
Rihanna has been criticised on several occasions over her image. The video for her single 'We Found Love' was described as a "disgrace" by anti-rape campaigners after it showed her being spanked by male model Dudley O'Shaughnessy.
And US pressure groups called for the video for her single 'Man Down' to be banned after they claimed it promoted murder, although she insisted it could help "give a voice to victims". The video portrayed her shooting an attacker after being raped.
Rihanna returns to the UK this summer to headline Wireless Festival.

BOSTON – The Boston Celtics are set to tip off the 2018-19 Season with two rookies on their roster. First-round draft pick Robert Williams will be fighting his way for some frontcourt action, while international journeyman Brad Wanamaker will be looking to break out in the backcourt.
We've dug up five fun facts on the pair of first-year Celts, so brush up on your team trivia below as they prepare to make their respective marks in the NBA.
Brad Wanamaker
Wanamaker was signed by the Celtics this summer after spending his previous seven seasons playing overseas and in the NBA G League (formerly the D-League). Here are his five facts:
- Brad Wanamaker and his twin brother Brian were both fixtures of the Philadelphia basketball scene growing up. During their senior year in high school, they led Roman Catholic to a 29-3 record and a consensus top-20 national ranking. Brian Wanamaker went on to play college basketball at Central Connecticut, Lon Morris and Texas Wesleyan, respectively, before taking his talents overseas.
- Like Brian, Brad also played internationally at the professional level, making stops in Italy, France, Germany and Turkey respectively. In between his time in Italy and France, Wanamaker made his way back to the U.S. for a brief, half-season stint with the Austin Toros, whom he helped guide to the 2012 D-League title.
- Wanamaker played four seasons at the University of Pittsburgh, where he became one of only two players in program history to tally at least 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 400 assists.
- Wanamaker and Celtics big man Daniel Theis were teammates for two seasons while playing for Brose Bamberg of Germany's Basketball Bundesliga. They won the German BBL championship both seasons, with Wanamaker earning 2015 Finals MVP and then the 2016 German BBL MVP.
- Wanamaker is also a former teammate of Celtics swingman Marcus Morris. The pair played AAU basketball together while growing up in Philadelphia.
Robert Williams
The Celtics selected Williams out of Texas A&M University with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Here are his five facts:
- ESPN listed Williams as the top-ranked player in Louisiana for the high school class of 2016. He was also ranked 50th nationally on the ESPN 100, and was 10th among all power forwards.
- Williams averaged 25.0 points, 14.0 rebounds and 6.0 blocks per game during his senior season at North Caddo High School, which helped him earn Louisiana's Class 2A Player of the Year honors.
- Williams blocked at least one shot during all 30 games of his freshman season at Texas A&M. His streak continued all the way until January of his sophomore campaign, ending at 40 games.
- Williams nabbed SEC Defensive Player of the Year honors during both of his collegiate seasons at Texas A&M. He averaged 8.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game as a freshman and 9.2 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game as a sophomore.
- The only other player in Celtics franchise history with the first name "Robert" was Hall-of-Fame center Robert Parish. Coincidentally, Parish and Williams also share the same hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana.

Credit Issues Force Small Business Owners to Finance with Personal Assets
COLUMBIA - Assistant professor in the MU financial planning department Tansel Yilmazer says that due to a current reduction in credit availability, some small and family-owned businesses are resorting to raising money from personal sources without resorting to bank loans. Yilmazer says that businesses that use owner resources and put off payments for household expenses make up the majority of businesses that report needing further financing for their businesses.
As a result of these businesses not establishing relationships with banks, they may face problems obtaining future bank loans, Yilmazer says. She notes a growing trend of households putting their own assets at risk for their businesses.
"Recession has increased the risk of business failure," Yilmazer said. "Since business is inherently risky, financing with owner resources would seem to extend that risk to the household in ways that owners may not be adequately considering."
Yilmazer's study was published i the Journal of Family and Economic Issues and was co-authored with Holly Schrank from Purdue University.

The following items related to teacher and administrator licensure were included in the GOP K-12 education package adopted by the Joint Finance Committee (JFC) :
Eliminate Expiration Dates for Teaching and Administrator Licenses–Provisional three-year licenses would be provided for new educators, administrators, and pupil service professionals, with a lifetime license granted after the completion of six semesters of successful experience, as certified by the school board(s) where the person worked.
Continue to require the DPI to conduct background checks on behalf of school districts as under current law. Require the DPI to issue a provisional three-year license to current holders of initial licenses, who could then acquire a lifetime license after six semesters of successful service. Provisional three-year licenses could be renewed if the holder does not complete six semesters of experience within three years.
Teacher Licensure Rulemaking Process–Require the DPI to submit a proposed rule to the Legislature by January 1, 2018, revising PI 34, which contains the existing administrative rule provisions related to teacher licensure. The rule could not reduce the standard of quality for obtaining a teacher license. Require the rule to simplify the licensure system as much as practicable, including at least all of the following:
- simplify the grade levels licensees can teach and create broad field subject licenses;
- enable school districts to increase the number of teachers by offering internships and residency opportunities;
- simplify out-of-state licensure reciprocity;
- expand pathways for existing licensees to fill positions in geographic areas or subject areas that are in need of educational personnel; and
- create a permit that allows a person enrolled in an educator preparation program to work in a school district as part of an internship, residency program, or equivalent program.
Teaching and Administrator License Based on Reciprocity–Delete current law requiring that an individual has to have received an offer of employment from a school in Wisconsin to be eligible for a teaching or administrator license based on reciprocity.
Faculty Teaching in Public High Schools–Allow a faculty member of an institution of higher education to teach in a public high school or charter school operating only high school grades without a license or permit from the DPI if they successfully complete a background check.
Alternative Teacher Preparation Program–Require the DPI to grant an initial teaching license to an individual who meets the following criteria:
- possesses a bachelor's degree;
- has successfully completed an alternative teacher certification program operated by an alternative program provider that is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that operates in at least five states and has been in operation for at least ten years, and that requires the candidate to pass a subject area exam and the Professional Teaching Knowledge pedagogy exam to receive a certificate under the program; and
- successfully completes a background check.
This license would authorize an individual to teach the subject and educational levels for which the individual successfully completed this program.
Substitute Teacher Permit for Individuals with Associate's Degree–Require the State Superintendent to grant a substitute teacher permit to an individual with a two-year degree or its equivalent and substitute teacher training.
Online Teacher Reciprocity–Provide that an individual who is located in another state but teaches an online course through a virtual charter or public school located in Wisconsin, and who holds a license or permit to teach that subject and level in their state, would be appropriately licensed to teach that subject and level in Wisconsin.
Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps (JROTC) Teaching License–Require the DPI to grant a license to an individual to provide instruction to pupils enrolled in a JROTC program offered in the high school grades if the individual satisfies the following criteria:
- possesses a bachelor's degree;
- successfully completed a JROTC instructor certification program; and
- fulfills current lawrequirements related to criminal convictions and background checks for educators.
The license under this provision would authorize the individual to teach the courses for which the individual successfully completed the JROTC certification process.

Armoury Chamber
The Armoury Chamber, a treasure-house, is a part of the Grand Kremlin Palace's complex. It is situated in the building constructed in 1851 by architect Konstantin Ton. The museum collections were based on the precious items that had been preserved for centuries in the tsars' treasury and the Patriarch's vestry. Some of the exhibits were made in the Kremlin's workshops, others were accepted as ambassadorial gifts. The museum was named after one of the oldest Kremlin's treasury stores.
One of the world's largest museums of applied art, it contains items ranging in age from the 4th cent. A.D. to the 20th century, arranged in thematic collections — i.e. weaponry, jewelry, Russian and West European silverware, precious textiles and embroideries, regalia, carriages and ceremonial harnesses.
Here on the display there are samples of ancient armory, valuables of all Grand Princes from the Ruric Family to the Romanovs, monastic utensils, a rare collection of jewelry. The Armory Chamber of the Moscow Kremlin was the treasury of the Moscow tsars and emperors for 8 centuries. The highlight of the museum is the collection of Easter eggs by Faberge jewelers (19th cent); among them there is a silver egg, the surface of which is engraved with a map of the Trans-Siberian railroad, the "surprise" inside is a golden clockwork model of a train with a platinum engine, windows of crystal, and a headlight made of a tiny ruby.

MACHINE LEARNING-Living In The Age Of AI
A documentary from WIRED
AI - Artrificial Intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems.

Autumn Art
Today I decided it was time for Colby and I to do another "project." He had so much fun last time with the leaf project that I really wanted to do something else with him. A while back I came across this "How to Paint Fall Trees" project from That Artist Woman. I thought it looked like a perfect idea for Colby and I to do together.
As most of you know, I started college as an art major. Even though that was more years ago than I care to think about, I still had some paints, including water colors, hanging around my art supply tackle box. So we busted out the paints, brushes and straws and got to work. Colby LOVED painting with the big brush!
Hey, Mommy! Look at this!
Ladies, eat your hearts out! Just look at those long, dark eyelashes (not to mention those gorgeous baby blues) and that adorable little paint-splattered nose. Heartbreaker...
After painting the entire background of the picture with various fall colors, it was time to "paint" the tree. This was done by dipping a straw into watered down black paint and blowing the paint onto the paper. Super fun!
Unfortunately, I didn't go back to re-read the directions before we started, so it didn't really work out all that great. I was impatient and didn't let the background paint dry completely before trying to paint the trees. After helping Colby do his, I tried my hand (mouth) at straw painting. It was definitely harder than I had thought it would be. And I have to say that Colby did a better job painting his background. Mine turned out way too pastel. I guess the whole project would have turned out better if I had had the appropriate paper (something other than cardstock) and had followed the directions. Oh well, it was still a good time and we have something new to hang on the wall.
Next up will be some sort of Thanksgiving project. Hopefully it will be a little more successful!

Just watched this TED Talk on "why live arts matter" by Ben Cameron.
Technology disrupting the arts and putting many sectors of live performance (stage and concert hall) on the verge of extinction, but there are benefits of this ongoing "reformation." More techniques and many more participants in the arts, broadening range of cross-culture and inclusive "channels" and implementation in activism on a wide range of issues, many of which that were previously unexplored. Training, organization and structure falling behind. It could be that the arts will soon become more important than ever. War of values, spying and fraud are problems, though. We need a great consciousness and unity to raise up the arts in line with movements to raise up humanity.
I have been feeling like I am falling through the cracks of this ongoing "seismic shift." So much seems unfair. I try to keep up and am far more involved in change and technology literate than many of my peers, but feel behind when I hear others talking or learn of their achievements. I often feel invisible, still, despite my interactions and what I have to offer. I send out flyers and resumes and nobody answers, except when they want money from me or service for free. I feel that many people looking at me do not see the experience of education, work, travel and human relations. Requirements published on job ads are often downright ridiculous and impossible. The expectation of refined compatibility and skill sets is ludicrous, in many cases. How many papers and years of education does one have to have propping them up to get through? How long a resume can do it? Why expect anyone in this world of constant career transition and industrial and communication evolution to have remained in one distinct area of work? A career path is simply not that straight and narrow these days. How can dreamed-up and wished-for hybrids of education, training and career experience be matched by real live humans?

New Zealand Plans To Sign Biosafety Protocol Today :
Advanta moves seed production to New Zealand
As at least the first fifty countries are expected to sign a Protocol on Biosafety (1) in Nairobi today, including the New Zealand delegation, Greenpeace International is calling for a trade ban on genetically modified organisms (GMOs), at least until this Biosafety Protocol has entered into force (2).
Greenpeace said that the urgency and necessity of such a trade ban was demonstrated by last week's evidence that thousands of hectares have been planted in Europe with GE-contaminated rape seed from the company Advanta, without the farmers and authorities knowing.
"If such scandalous breaches of the law happen in Europe these days, what then is the situation in other countries around the world, where neither the technical means to detect such GMOs are available, nor the institutional and legal framework is in place to prevent them?", asked Arnaud Apoteker, Greenpeace Genetic Engineering campaigner in Nairobi.
Advanta have now moved their seed production to New Zealand to ensure GMO-free purity, to avoid any future contamination of conventional seeds with GE seeds. "This move is demonstration that New Zealand is currently perceived globally as a GE free nation, and that we could attract new scientific and corporate interest if we maintain this status in the long term" said Tricia Allen, Campaign Director for Greenpeace in New Zealand.
"A trade ban would represent the best incentive to make the Biosafety Protocol operational as soon as possible," said Apoteker. "It would also be a good way to persuade the US Congress to finally ratify the UN Convention on Biological Diversity." (3)
Note to editors:
(1) The Biosafety Protocol to the Convention on Biological Diversity which was adopted in January 2000 in Montreal, recognises the right of any country to say No to GMOs on the basis of the precautionary principle. According to the precautionary principle, the limits to our scientific knowledge should not be used to postpone preventative action when there is a serious cause for concern. (PTO)
(2) This week´s signature of the Protocol is only the first step. New Zealand, along with other signatories, must then ratify the Protocol as required by our national laws and political systems (generally, ratification of an international instrument of this kind must be submitted to our national Parliament). The Protocol will enter into force only 19 days after at least 50 countries have ratified it.
(3) Under pressure from the US pharmaceutical industry which does not want to share with developing countries and indigenous communities the benefits from genetic resources, the US Congress has vetoed since 1992 the ratification of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.

On 11 January 2014, the Durban Flying Squad, Durban Tactical Response Team and Public Order Police made a breakthrough when they arrested five suspects for car hijackings that occurred in various Durban suburbs. The suspects were arrested for crimes committed in Merebank, Wentworth, Westville and Verulam. The five men were arrested in Umlazi and four vehicles were recovered in the Umlazi Township.
On 7 January 2014 at about 21:30, a 35-year-old female was threatened with a firearm and a knife while entering her house in Merebank and hijacked of her Toyota Conquest. A 25-year-old woman was hijacked of her VW Polo at knifepoint in Merewent on 10 January 2014 and another 25-year-old was threatened with high calibre firearms and robbed of her Renault Clio and handbag. The men have also been accused of stealing a Toyota Avanza in Verulam on 11 January 2014. Police seized a 9mm firearm with its serial number filed off from one of the suspects as well as toy gun that they allegedly used in the hijackings. Five suspects aged between 19 and 22 will be charged for three counts of hijacking, possession of unlicensed firearm and theft of motor vehicle. They will appear in Durban Magistrates Court soon. We are still looking for one other member of the gang who is from Umlazi and we believe that these men will be linked to other hijacking cases in the Durban area.
The KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Mmamonnye Ngobeni commended police for the breakthrough. "The arrest of these criminals is a massive achievement for police and we believe it will contribute to our efforts in reducing the incidents of hijacking in Durban and surrounding areas," she said. – SAPS news service

Education Fair: How to make use of it?
Dig out information. Inculcate the habit of research, so that you are able to gel with the academic culture of the UK, where students are expected to work independently on their projects. "If you can't research on the colleges you might like to study in, how do you expect to adapt yourself to the academic rigour of UK education?" asks Moneesha of the British Council.
Being run by the UK government, the British Council provides you official information about UK education. Students interested in studying in the UK can attend briefing sessions of the British Council every Wednesday (Delhi). It is a 45-70 minute session, inclusive of question/answer sessions, is free of cost, and open to parents too.
For the US, there is US-India Educational Foundation or USIEF. USIEF also hosts briefings every Thursday (Delhi). A toll-free number 18001031231 is available Monday-Friday between 2-5 p.m with services in Hindi and English to answer queries about education in the US.
The British Council frequently hosts delegates coming in from various institutions in the UK. Students should know how to make best use of an education fair. Don't go unprepared, and end up chatting with any representative of any institution. "Come with your research, have specific questions, the answers of which you have not found on the net," advises Moneesha. "And do carry photocopies of your education certificates and other relevant documents."
The British Council (BC) has lists of agents or channel partners on their website, but the British government does not endorse them. The licensed partners are mandated to provide only correct information to students.
List of approved education providers:
- For UK: www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk.
- For US: www.educationusa.state.gov & www.chea.org
Regional accredited colleges are better than national accredited colleges as the latter are mostly faith-based colleges, says Renuka Raja Rao, country coordinator, USIEF. "If an agent claims that he has contacts to get you US VISA, he is totally misleading you. Administrative officers have an X-ray vision, says Renuka They can tell the genuine applicants from fraudulent ones. Renuka cautions further, "Once you are denied VISA, it is very difficult to obtain one next time," says the author of a popular book, 'Study In America'. According to a conservative estimate, the ongoing commission per student that an agent may earn is 5-7 per cent of the tuition fee. "We take commission of up to 3000 US dollars on each student," an agent informed on the condition of anonymity.
If a student turns down the first set of universities suggested by the agent because he/she cannot afford them, a second menu of less expensive colleges is put on offer. Likewise, a third and fourth set is flashed out before the student. The agent will never let you go empty-handed. In common parlance, if a Rs. 100 grape cookie is out of bounds for you, no problem; you can still shop for a Rs. 15 apple cookie, but cookie you will certainly walk away with. It is another matter perhaps that by the time additional information, viewpoint that could be important in making the final decision you realize the cookie is crumbling, you have sunk your money and wasted your precious weeks, months or years. Unfortunately, then there is no going back.
"Agents may not encourage students to apply in good colleges, even if their grades are good because those colleges may not be on the agent's list. That obviously limits the choice of students," says Jitin Chawla, a Delhi-based consultant. Besides, not all agents cater to all universities, adds Pervin. So never limit your choices to what the agent suggests.
It's important to realize that in India, educational consultants have been operating in an unregulated environment, which makes it easy for them to continue their shoddy services without being accountable. As for students, they often find themselves lost because of lack of professionalism in this trade. "There are no official ranking of overseas colleges that can guide students," Jitin points out. Loud advertisements also mislead students.
When an unregulated scenario such as this exists, the only way out is to be your own guide first and then go about seeking help.

Heartbreak City and Adam McNamara captured the Ebor last weekend
PICTURE: Edward Whitaker (racingpost.com/photos)
By Peter Scargill 11:35AM 26 AUG 2016
JOCKEY Adam McNamara has spoken of his devastation at the death of friend and mentor Tom O'Ryan, who he credited with helping him improve as a rider since he joined the Richard Fahey stable last year.
McNamara was praised for his winning ride on Heartbreak City in the Ebor at York last weekend and has partnered 33 other winners in a breakout season in Britain after moving across from Ireland.
But it was the assistance and pointers provided to him by O'Ryan that McNamara says is the reason behind him unlocking his potential on the course this season.
He said: "In my first few weeks riding I was becoming increasingly impatient with myself. I wanted everything to happen yesterday and this was evident in my riding. That period of frustration ended thanks to Tom, who would speak to me after every race.
"With Tom's help I soon learned to be patient and he helped me to improve beyond recognition. I'm sure winning the Ebor put a smile on his face, and although I didn't get the chance to see him, I know he would have been proud."
'A brilliant listener'
O'Ryan, who died on Tuesday aged 61, was credited with helping the careers of a number of riders including the likes of former champion Paul Hanagan.
And it was his ability to talk to and listen to riders in their early days that McNamara feels was such a vital part in the success O'Ryan played in the careers of so many jockeys, including his own.
"Tom was not only a great mentor, but he was a true friend. He has been hailed as a great speaker, but I think his best quality was that he was brilliant listener," McNamara said in his blog on Harrowells.
"Whether you were having a good or bad day, Tom was only a phone call away. He would listen to every detail before offering his opinion, and there was never a time when I didn't feel better after a conversation with him. He had time for everyone, no matter their status."
He added: "I simply don't have the words in my vocabulary to describe how much of an incredible man he was, nor could I describe how much we will miss him.
"I know how lucky I was to have him on my side, and I know that it's not going to be easy without him, but I'll continue to work hard and be patient like he taught me, and I hope that I'll make him proud. I will miss him more than I can explain".

'Nashri tunnel a good step, but won't serve any substitute for youth's aspirations'
Srinagar, Apr 02 (KNS): Construction of roads or inaugurations of tunnels are of lesser importance; however, it is hard to come to the expectations and accept hard realities, said Hurriyat Conference (G) on Sunday. Kashmir issue is serious and sensitive political issue as such extraordinary & exemplary courage is needed to resolve Kashmir issue, Hurriyat said.
In a statement issued to KNS, reacting to the visit of Indian PM Narinder Modi and inauguration of Nashri Tunnel, Hurriyat (G) said that today's shutdown is an eye-opener & serve message that Kashmir issue can't be solved or shelved through the cosmetic approach.
Asking Narinder Modi to take brave steps and act as statesman, saying this will pave way for overall development in India & peace in subcontinent. It will prove helpful for south Asia and India too will get ride from many complex problems facing at home. Hurriyat asserted that the world has changed into a global village & Improving connectivity through roads and tunnels is a good idea, however they no more serve any purpose to political and human issues.
Hurriyat said it is better for Indian authorities to shun their rigid approach, face reality and help resolve the Kashmir issue.
Hurriyat said that human race has touched the extreme level for reasoning and no power on earth can suppress their yearning for honor and freedom.
Referring to Nashri tunnel, Hurriyat said no doubt it is good step however, it won't help or serve any substitute for aspirations of youth. Taking into consideration the yearning for freedom & our struggle since last 70 years, all these exercises will prove futile to change the course, we have been pursuing since long.
Referring to the present young generation and their aspiration, Hurriyat said that right to self-determination granted to people in East Timor, South Sudan, Scotland Yard has rejuvenated and infused their sprits for pursuing their right of freedom in occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Hurriyat said that people and youth are very serious about right to self-determination.
All these construction works were carried since long, however nothing has changed and instead situations turned more grim and serious, said Hurriyat. Terming the Kashmir issue serious and unpredictable, Hurriyat said that Kashmir issue is the main reason for instability and sense of uncertainty haunts throughout whole subcontinent.
Modi has two options, either to follow his predecessors with folded eyes or as statesman make history by taking bold steps, said Hurriyat. There is nothing extra ordinary in opening roads, anybody can throw open these tracks and tunnels, however realizing realities and using wisdom for resolution, need extraordinary willpower and determination.
Thanking people for observing shutdown, Hurriyat said that it proved beyond any doubt that people in state have always professed their verdict and conveyed message that they will never succumb to pressure and people of state are pursuing their right to self-determination and will continue till the issue is resolved as per their aspirations", statement reads.

preprocessing raw sequence data in a UBAM file from IonTorrent 16S Metagenomics kit
Hi everyone!
I have raw, paired-end sequence data in a UBAM (unmapped) file after sequencing 16S gene from water samples. The UBAM file contains both forward and reverse reads but unjoined. How can I do the following:
1) Map UBAM to a reference genome so that I will have an aligned, paired-end mapped BAM file? I heard you can use picard but which function to use, I am very unsure.
2) Prepare that BAM file for analysis in QIIME 2.0 by converting it to fastq? I believe I can use samtools to convert BAM to FASTQ but I want to get your advice.
These may be silly questions but I am new to bioinformatics so any help will be appreciated!
1) I think this tutorial will help.
2) You can use BamToBfq.
@Sheila thank you for your response! The tutorial you suggested in going in opposite direction. It is guiding on how to get a uBAM from BAM or FASTQ (I do not want that).
My problem is different: the end goal of the project is to get a fastq file ready for analysis in QIIME 2.0.
Therefore, I am trying to figure out a way to process the raw uBAM file (which contains unaligned paired end data). What I need to know is how to align the paired-end reads in the raw uBAM file to a reference genome, getting an aligned BAM file in the end?
The tutorial does guide you on that, but you can also use it to align your uBAM with BWA. Note, you need to convert your uBAM to FASTQ to run BWA. Section 3 helps with that. You will get a clean aligned BAM from following that tutorial. Also note, you can start with section 2 since you are starting with uBAM. From the tutorial: "If you have raw reads data in BAM format with appropriately assigned read group fields, then you can start with step 2."

Look Deep Into My Eyes
If you ever find yourself with a view like this in real life, turn and run. From Oscar Scherer State Park this weekend and their Earth Day festivities, this is a great horned owl. These are among the most ferocious predators in the avian kingdom, meaner than most hawks and probably some eagles. I can only think of one time I've seen an owl in the wild, and that's thanks to the fact that they are nearly silent in flight, and they don't hoot as often as you might hope. I love the picture above, except for the fact that his eyes are out of focus. The camera is focused on his beak. The shot below is nice, too, but not nearly so fierce.

Reserving a date to depart or changing a departure date
If you have an open ended ticket or would like to change your departing date, you will have to call and reserve a date to depart.
"I have an open ended ticket and I would like to schedule a departure date."
"I have a ticket and I need to schedule a departure date."
"I am scheduled to depart on June 15th. Can I change this to a later date?"
"I have a ticket to depart on June 15th. I would like to see if there is an earlier flight available."
With any of these questions, the other person will usually ask for your ticket number. After that, they will ask you what date you want to depart.
"What date would you like to depart?"
"What date would you like to change it to?"
"When do you want to depart?"
You should respond by selecting a date.
"I would like to leave on June 22nd."
"Is June 22nd available?"
"Can you check if June 22nd is possible?"
"I was hoping to reserve a seat for June 22nd."
After you select a date, they will either say OK, or they will tell you the closest dates available to your selection.
"Yes. We have seats available for the 22nd. Would you like me to reserve them?"
"On the 22nd, the departure time is 1:00pm. Should I reserve them?"
"We have two flights departing on that date. Would you like to depart at 10am or 7pm?"
"I'm sorry, but we do not have any available seats on the 22nd. Should I put you on the waiting list?"
"I'm sorry, there are no departures for the 22nd. We have a flight leaving on the 21st and the 24th. Will either of these days work for you?"
"The 22nd is full. The next available flight is on the 23rd. Would you like me to reserve a seat on that date?"

Hawaii Five-0 Star Daniel Dae Kim to Host APAICS Gala0
Washington, D.C. (March 29, 2011) – The Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies is pleased to announce that Daniel Dae Kim of CBS's hit series "Hawaii Five-0" will host APAICS's 17th Annual Gala Awards Dinner.
The event will be held on Wednesday, May 4, 2011, at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center located at 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. The event entitled, Celebrating Our Legacy of Leadership: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Public Service will start with a reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m.
"Daniel Dae Kim has a history of playing his roles to encourage our community to be more politically and civically engaged," said President and CEO Gloria Chan. "I'm thrilled that he will be able to join us for a week of celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander leadership in our nation this May."
Today, over 16.6 million Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders currently live in the United States. The AAPI community is more civically and politically engaged than ever before. This diverse population has the highest percentage growth rate in the United States compared to other racial groups. By 2050, there will be 40.6 million U.S. residents identifying as Asian alone or in combination with one or more other races, to comprise over 9 percent of the U.S. population.
Even with this rich diversity, the AAPI community struggles against stereotypes that are perpetuated in mainstream media. Through the diversity of his roles on stage and screen, Daniel Dae Kim continues to break stereotypes of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. In characters ranging from the King of Siam, a Shakespearean hero, a social worker for the Chicago needy, to a counter-terrorist agent, his work has consistently transcended the historical barriers of race and stereotype.
Prior to starring as Chin Ho Kelly in "Hawaii Five-0," Kim was best known to audiences for his portrayal of Jin on "Lost." For his performance, he shared a 2006 Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Ensemble, and was individually honored with an AZN Asian Excellence Award, a Multicultural Prism Award and a Vanguard Award from the Korean American Coalition, all for Outstanding Performance by an Actor. In 2009, he was recognized with the prestigious KoreAm Journal Achievement Award in the field of Arts and Entertainment.
Born in Busan, South Korea and raised in New York and Pennsylvania, Kim discovered acting while a student at Haverford College. After briefly considering a career as an attorney, he decided to follow his true passion and moved to New York City where he began his work on stage. There he performed in classics such as "Romeo and Juliet," "Ivanov" and "A Doll's House," as well as working with an improv comedy troupe. Despite his early success, however, he decided to deepen his dedication to the craft by studying at the Graduate Acting Program at New York University, where he earned a Master's Degree in Fine Arts.
Upon graduation, Kim's film career began in earnest, with roles in "The Jackal," "For Love of the Game," "The Hulk," "Spider-Man 2" and "The Cave," as well as the Academy Award-winning film "Crash." Most recently, he completed work on the independent film "The Killing Game," starring Samuel L. Jackson.
On television, Kim has guest starred on numerous shows, including "CSI," on the Network, "ER" and, for two seasons on "24" as CTU Agent Tom Baker. In 2008, he also starred in the Emmy Award nominated miniseries "The Andromeda Strain." Kim has also lent his vocal talents to video games, creating characters in "Saints Row" 1 and 2, "Scarface: The World Is Yours," "Tenchu" and "24," as well as the animated television series "Justice League Unlimited" and "Avatar."
In summer 2009, Kim rekindled his love for the stage by performing the role of the King of Siam in the iconic production "The King and I" at London's world-renowned Royal Albert Hall.
Though he spends time in Los Angeles and New York, Kim resides primarily in Honolulu, where he devotes his free time to a number of different charities and his family.
"Hawaii Five-0" airs Mondays at 10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network.

Here is a fabulous recipe for salmon that you can prepare on the BBQ or in the oven. You can also use low-sodium Tamari sauce as a healthier alternative. Tamari is also gluten-free.
- 1 skinless salmon filet (you can remove the skin after grilling on BBQ in foil.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup regular or low-sodium tamari sauce
- juice of 1/2 orange
- 3 tablespoons raw honey
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 1/2 cups frozen, shelled edamame, thawed and brought to room temperature or fresh refrigerated edamame (I use the ones from Trader Joe's).
Whisk together the tamari sauce, orange juice, garlic, honey and sesame oil in a bowl. Place the salmon in a 9X13 pyrex dish and pour half of the marinade over the fish. Refrigerate for up to 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400° F or fire up the BBQ to medium. When the fish is ready to be cooked, if you are opting to cool in the oven, remove it from the marinade and place it on over on a parchment-lined baking sheet covered with aluminum foil.
If you are grilling on the BBQ, place the fish on top of a piece of aluminum foil and set the heat to medium and close the lid. Cook until the fish flakes when prodded with a knife but is still moist or to your liking. I prefer my fish cooked all the way through. This should take 10-15 minutes for either the BBQ or the oven.
Remove the salmon from the oven or BBQ and let cool for about 5 minutes, and transfer to a serving platter.
Pour the remaining marinade over the fish and sprinkle the edamame and sesame seeds evenly over the top.
Serve immediately. Serves 4-6.

$24,000,000,000. $24 billion. That's a big number. It's even bigger when you think of the dollar sign in front of it. But that's how much the Tea Party, led by Canadian-born Senator Raphael "Ted" Cruz, cost the American people when they shut down the government. Think of all that we could have done with that money. All. That. Money.
Sometimes, though, it's hard to understand just how much $24 Billion really is, especially when we hear big numbers like that floating around in politics all the time. So with Halloween (and Halloween candy) just around the corner, let's put that number into a visual even the kids can understand: CANDY!
Just how much Halloween candy could $24 Billion have bought?
Just how much Halloween candy could $24 Billion have bought? Depends on what kind you want. In my area, a regular sized chocolate bar sells for about a dollar. That means 24,000,000,000 chocolate bars. A "King-Size" candy bar sells for about $1.50. Twenty-four billion dollars could have bought 16,000,000,000 of them.
But what about those bags of Halloween candy that are sold in the store? In my area, they average about $3.50 for a bag containing about 25 pieces. Twenty-four billion dollars could have bought 6,857,142,857 bags filled with 171,428,571,425 pieces of candy. That's enough to give every man, woman, and child (even Ted Cruz) 571 pieces of candy each! Talk about a Happy Halloween!
So what else could that $24 Billion bill have bought, besides Halloween candy?
So what else could that $24 Billion bills have bought, besides 571 pieces of Halloween Candy for each American? At the 2013 pay rate, that's enough to pay the base pay of 1,118,943 Private First Class Army Soldiers for a year. It's enough to pay the base pay over twenty years of over 30,000 soldiers. We could have paid for the school lunch program, which costs about $11 Billion a year, for over two years. At an average of about $20,000 per year to cover tuition plus expenses, we as a country could have paid a year of college for 1.2 Million students. And at its current funding, around $6 Billion a year, we could have funded the National Science Foundation for the next four years.
Instead, what did we do with that money? It was blown in just two weeks, gone down the black hole that is stubbornness and pride.
Fiscal responsibility, they say?
