COMMUNICATION services in Mulaba Village, Sengerema District in Mwanza Region have been made possible, thanks to the newly built communication tower by Airtel Tanzania in partnership with the Universal Communication Services Access Fund (UCSAF).
The UCSAF Chief Operating Officer Engineer Albert Richard said that the government has been forefront in making sure that telecommunication companies extend their services to most parts of the country and especially in rural areas.
"The government through UCSAF commends Airtel for extending quality and affordable communication services especially to rural areas," he said during the visit of the UCSAF board members in a newly built communication tower at Mulaba village in Sengerema District, whereby the board members have been satisfied by efforts being made by Airtel of extending communication services and especially to rural areas.
The government has been using a lot of efforts to make sure that most parts of our country and priority being rural areas are covered by communication services.
"I'm so happy that Airtel Tanzania has been very supportive and this communication tower we have visited here today is an example of that. I have learned that the communication serves the entire district of Sengerema and stay connected to Airtel network.
I'm very thankful and I take this time to congratulate Airtel Tanzania for that," he said. Sending and receiving money through Airtel Money is now very possible.
In addition farmers will get the price of the produce through mobile, said Engineer Richard adding that the time farmers used to waste by visiting markets to look for a good price of their crops will now use for other economic activities.
Airtel Tanzania Manager for Lake Zone James Moilo said the construction of the tower we are visiting today here is one of the Airtel initiatives and plans of working with the government through UCSAF to provide communication services to Tanzanians and especially to areas where there are no business attractions.
"Our vision is continue expanding our network by launching more communication towers aimed at making sure we cover most parts of the country," he said.

Since Donald Trump's inauguration in January, numerous high-ranking Russian officials have been found dead under suspicious circumstances, including another one on Saturday.
Vladimir Evdokimov, executive director for Russia's space agency Roscosmos, was discovered dead by investigators who say he had two stab wounds on his body.
Evdokimov, 56, was found in his prison cell where he was being held on charges of embezzling 200 million rubles ($3.1 million) from the MiG aerospace company.
Zerohedge.com reports:
As we noted previously, six Russian diplomats have died in the last 3 months – all but one died on foreign soil. Some were shot, while other causes of death are unknown. Note that a few deaths have been labeled "heart attacks" or "brief illnesses."
1. You probably remember Russia's Ambassador to Turkey, Andrei Karlov — he was assassinated by a police officer at a photo exhibit in Ankara on December 19.
2. On the same day, another diplomat, Peter Polshikov, was shot dead in his Moscow apartment. The gun was found under the bathroom sink but the circumstances of the death were under investigation. Polshikov served as a senior figure in the Latin American department of the Foreign Ministry.
3. Russia's Ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin, died in New York this past week. Churkin was rushed to the hospital from his office at Russia's UN mission. Initial reports said he suffered a heart attack, and the medical examiner is investigating the death, according to CBS.
4. Russia's Ambassador to India, Alexander Kadakin, died after a "brief illness January 27, which The Hindu said he had been suffering from for a few weeks.
5. Russian Consul in Athens, Greece, Andrei Malanin, was found dead in his apartment January 9. A Greek police official said there was "no evidence of a break-in." But Malanin lived on a heavily guarded street. The cause of death needed further investigation, per an AFP report. Malanin served during a time of easing relations between Greece and Russia when Greece was increasingly critiqued by the EU and NATO.
6. Ex-KGB chief Oleg Erovinkin, who was suspected of helping draft the Trump dossier, was found dead in the back of his car December 26, according to The Telegraph. Erovinkin also was an aide to former deputy prime minister Igor Sechin, who now heads up state-owned Rosneft…

Transform Your Log Cabin into Something More Than Just an Outdoor BuildingApril 10, 2019
Last modified: June 11, 2019If you currently have one that fits the plans to install a cabin but don't want it to be anywhere near a boring space, then these ideas are for you.
Home Interior
Transform Your Log Cabin into Something More Than Just an Outdoor Building
Log cabins are one of the most versatile garden buildings that can be turned into almost anything. However, the majority of them lie in backyards with conventional layouts and dull decorations.
If you currently have one that fits the description or plans to install a cabin but don't want it to be anywhere near a boring space, then these ideas are for you.
We have collected a few of the coolest but easy to simulate inspirations for your next log cabin designing adventure. Giddy up and wear on that belt bag of tools with your to-buy list kit.
1. Rustic Design
View this post on Instagram
One of the best ideas to start off with in transforming a log cabin is applying the rustic setting. In design, simplicity means sophistication. And since log cabins are mostly made with wooden materials, this idea will be the easiest to bear.
"Rustic" designs largely describe everything from farmhouse decor to a Tuscan-style estate. Its monotony brings a granular but strikingly beautiful composition that a lot of modern homes also apply.
The main challenge in coming up with this style is the choice of right furniture and fixtures that will resemble the simplicity and beauty found in the natural, outside world.
In creating this warm and organic aesthetic transformation, you would want to incorporate wood into plenty of your furnishings. Organic textures will also complement the design as well as sturdy fabrics to add up to that sense of warmth and cosiness in your cabin.
2. Vintage Vibe
View this post on Instagram
Vintage will never go out of style. Most modern interior designs still incorporate the vintage vibe in various structures and a log cabin is never an exception.
For avid lovers of sensational connections and patient collectors, this idea is perfect. It applies a worn look around the cabin through the use of corroded steel, aged wooden board and vintage furnishings.
This image is only one example but vintage designs vary on the era that you want to bear resemblance to. Some retro hipster ideas apply strong colours along with carefully selected patterns alluding to the 50s, 60s and 70s.
If you choose to apply this kind of style, don't forget the general principle in achieving a perfect vintage design: mix together old and new pieces of furniture.
3. Modern Minimalist Concept
View this post on Instagram
Modern interiors often display a more spacious impression inside the cabin. And though there is no rulebook when it comes to modern design, most styles apply sleek materials and clean lines.
In employing this kind of style, you can encompass a wide range of styles as long as you use more novel fixtures and furnishings around the log cabin. You can start off with a minimally-designed matting and tapestry paired with a new-fashioned couch and metal details.
While most provided examples show bedrooms and living room spaces, there is a plethora of work or home purposes you can turn your log cabins into. That minimal space can be maximised into a cosy office space or a luxurious retreat house for relaxation and solitude.
4. Past Meets Present Vibe
View this post on Instagram
If you can't choose between the vintage and contemporary setting you have in mind, you could have both without sacrificing one with this log cabin set up.
You can turn your log cabin into a concept of past meets present by installing some white or colourful modern equipment with some vintage and traditional displays.
The difference between the vintage vibe and this past meets present is that you incorporate like legit antique and other colourful objects with the latter, rather than having only some gloomy and basic colours.
5. Bare Design
View this post on Instagram
This might be suitable for guys who own a log cabin and do not want to have a lot in their room. This bare design of a log cabin could be perfect for your dream clutter-free space.
You could, of course, barely have a set of furniture and different colours around. Keep it simple and natural with the original colour it has since it was made.
This is also best for someone who has a small log cabin but still wanted to make the most out of it and make it his special relaxation space. Go now and create your new sleek and clean room.
6. Garden but Glossy Look
The garden but glossy look might be your thing if you want your log cabin to look expensive with the shine and nature displays.
In achieving this design, you could use wood paints and tools to let your cabin shine. Add some traditional wooden table set up and cabinets inside. Moreover, do not forget the greens and earthy designs like those birds on the side and make it more with nature. Add an old chandelier also to add some feeling of intimacy and class.

The destruction tornadoes leave behind is irreparable. For one Texas mother and daughter, the damage was insurmountable.
Amber Jenkins, her service dog, and her mother Catherine were left homeless when their home was completely destroyed.
Little did they know that someone was watching the whole time.
Ron Sturgeon is a millionaire, but he's not like the Scrooges we're used to seeing on TV. Ron is self-made, and when he was much younger, his father died and left him homeless — he is all too familiar with having the rug lifted from right under him.
Not to mention he is an absolute dog lover.
The owner of two mansions, one worth $1.5 million, Ron knew he had to do something after he saw photos of the tornado wreckage.
"I was just moved because I'm such a dog person. Then I saw the pictures of the devastation and I don't know, I think a lightbulb just went off in my head and I said, 'I've got two big houses sitting vacant — surely I can help somebody that would need housing,'" Ron told CBS's Joel Thomas.
So he reached out to Catherine, Amber, and their dog Maggie and offered them his mansion for $1 a month.
"I just can't even believe this house," says Amber, who loves the home and is especially glad Maggie feels safe. "Ever since we've been in this house, the past couple of hours she has been running around outside, I have not seen her this happy in weeks."
Please SHARE if you know that if you had the means, you would have done exactly the same!

North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un sent a valued gift as a token of peace to South Korea on September 20. Kim Jong-un sent tonnes of pine mushrooms believed to be worth $1.83 million.

These mushrooms are so valuable that there has been a bid for them. According to South Korea's National Forestry Cooperative Federation, in a recent bid, these pine mushrooms got 769,100 won per kg. The mushrooms which have been sent will be given to 4,000 South Koreans who were separated from their families back in North Korea in the Korean War.

The recipients too, have been selected on the basis of criteria. The oldest living members of the separated families will get 500 kg each informed South Korean President Moon Jae-in's spokesman. Each package has a personal card written by Moon. It reads, " North Korea has sent the pine mushrooms with their heart. (The mushrooms) carry the scent of the northern mountains." He also added a ray of hope to his people. He was quoted, "I hope the mushrooms, with the scent of North Korea intact, may offer some condolence. The day will surely come when you can embrace your loved ones."

The pine mushrooms are very difficult to grow and require perfect weather conditions for a good crop. Since they are not in plenty, the scarcity makes them more valued. It is also very difficult to find where these mushrooms grow in the wild.

Historically, neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) has been mainly used
to convert breast cancer
from inoperable to operable;
however, today NST also is
incorporated into the treatment
of patients who initially present
with operable disease. NST
can allow some patients with
stage II-III breast cancer who
initially present with disease
extent necessitating mastectomy
to possibly undergo breast-conserving therapy (BCT)
by down-staging the volume
of disease in the breast. This
neoadjuvant approach is
particularly useful in patients
where systemic therapy is
clearly indicated, such as
triple-negative breast cancer
(TNBC) and Human Epidermal
Growth Factor Receptor (HER)
2-positive disease.1- 4
Although NST has been studiedextensively, comprehensivedata on the impact of NSTon converting BCT-ineligiblepatients to BCT-eligible islacking. To quantify thisconversion rate, a prospectivesurgical study was incorporatedinto Cancer and LeukemiaGroup B 40603 (CALGB,now a part of the Alliance forClinical Trials in Oncology), arandomized phase II-III trial thattested the addition of carboplatinand bevacizumab to a standardneoadjuvant regimen (paclitaxelfollowed by doxorubicin andcyclophosphamide) in TNBC.
The primary clinical endpoint
was pathological complete
response (pCR), defined as the
absence of residual invasive
disease in the breast, and the
primary surgical endpoint was
breast preservation rates. 5, 6
Specifically, this study
required that the treating breast
surgeon assess and document the
patients' eligibility for BCT based
on physical exam, native breast
size, and breast imaging studies
both at initial presentation
before the start of NST and
after the completion of drug
therapy. The surgeon also was
asked to document the reason
for non-candidacy for breast
conservation at both time points.
A total of 404 TNBC patients,treated from 2009 to 2012, hadpre- and post-NST surgicalassessments and surgicalprocedure outcomes. BeforeNST, 219 ( 54 percent) patientswere considered eligible forBCT; of these patients, 197
(90 percent) remained eligible,
with BCT attempted in 138
(70 percent) and successful in
130 (94 percent). Of the 185
( 46 percent) patients who were
considered ineligible for BCT
pre-NST, 78 ( 42 percent) were
considered eligible for BCT after
treatment. Of these, BCT was
attempted in 53 ( 68 percent) and
was successful in 48 (91 percent).
Overall, there was a
significant increase in the
incidence of surgeon-determined
BCT eligibility from 54 percent
before NST to 68 percent
after NST (p < 0.001). BCT
was attempted in 69 percent
of eligible patients and was
successful in 93 percent. Final
surgical management was BCT
in 191 ( 47 percent) patients and
mastectomy in 213 ( 53 percent)
patients, including 13 patients in
whom BCT was unsuccessful.
The rate of pCR did not differ
significantly according to breast
conservation candidacy.

[This review of Ivor Noël Hume's recent autobiography will appear in the Times Literary Supplement next month. Cite this paper as Hicks, D. in press. Fragments of Life. Times Literary Supplement.]
Ivor Noël Hume. A Passion for the Past: the odyssey of a transatlantic archaeologist. University of Virginia Press, 2010. ISBN 978-0-8139-2977-4 (cloth) £26.95.
Ivor Noël Hume is famous as a British archaeologist who pioneered the archaeological study of the early modern American past. His autobiography brings his distinctive writing style to bear upon his own life and work. It describes a bleak and itinerant childhood, beginning in London in 1927, against which background Noël's developing archaeological interests are introduced: a chance participation as a cub scout in the 1939 excavations at the Sutton Hoo Viking ship burial, collecting shrapnel after air battles, and explorations during Devon holidays at the deserted coastal village of Hallsands and the abandoned ruins of 19th-century Eggesford House.
Failed attempts to develop a career in the theatre prefigure the unemployed 22-year-old Noël's 'treasure hunting' along the Thames foreshore in central London, donating what he collected to the Guildhall Museum. Offered a job at the Museum, and later joined by his wife Audrey, during the 1950s Noël became a pioneer of the archaeological 'watching brief'. In workmen's lunch breaks, at evenings and weekends, or ducking between machine bucket and trench, for eight years he collected and recorded archaeological remains exposed at construction sites in the Square Mile and beyond. Noël's vivid anecdotal accounts of this nascent rescue archaeology, managed by Adrian Oswald and Ralph Merrifield and assisted by volunteers (the 'Guildhall Irregulars'), feature coal sacks full of artefacts dragged from the Bankside Power Station site, a perfectly-preserved sparrow in peat below Walbrook Street, and a 'Roman goat-skin bikini bottom' from Queen Victoria Street. During the construction of the Lloyds Building in 1952, hundreds of bottles of port sealed after a fire in a pre-war wine merchant's cellar are uncovered: the aroma drifts along Leadenhall Street 'prompting wine connoisseur businessmen to stop, sniff, and smile'.
The Guildhall's bitter rivalry with the London Museum, and especially with William Grimes' Roman and Medieval London Excavation Council, is sketched. The adventurous 'building site archaeology' and Noël's imaginative engagements with the press are contrasted with Grimes' more scientific programme of controlled excavations at bombed-out sites, most famously at the Temple of Mithras. His account of the unrecorded destruction of the 1950s – what he calls the post-war 'slaughter' of London's archaeological deposits – calls into question the response of Grimes and his colleagues. At the same time, Noël describes his growing commitment to post-Roman, and especially to post-medieval, archaeology, inspired by Oswald's studies of seventeenth-century glassware and clay pipes.
The second half of the book reflects upon Noël's activities after being hired in 1957, aged thirty, to direct the archaeological programme of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Some Guildhall themes resurface in Virginia. Difficulties with architectural historians, and with 'anthropological' approaches, recall earlier conflicts with Grimes, as Noël sets out his scepticism about programmatic or excessively scientific approaches, which downplay interpretation. He nicely explains how his interest in the seventeenth century was out of step first with the Roman and Medieval focus of London's archaeologists, and then with the Georgian aspirations of Williamsburg preservationists. Indeed, much of his achievement in Virginia, especially in his excavations of Martin's Hundred and Wolstenholme Towne at the Carter's Grove site, was to reveal potential of the seventeenth-century archaeology of Virginia. But Noël also describes how the Guildhall's failure to complete reports was reproduced in Williamsburg's rescue activities. Combined with an excessive focus upon collecting and cataloguing artefacts, a habit learned from building site archaeology this has limited the impact of the extensive fieldwork undertaken by Noël at other sites in Virginia and beyond.
Despite the dearth of field reports, Noël's 'Virginia adventure' produced a wide range of museum displays and popular publications, especially his 1970 Artefacts of Colonial America, which brought his broad knowledge of British material culture to an American readership. However, his 1969 introductory textbook, Historical Archaeology, was disliked by many because of its astonishing sexist comments on women in archaeology. An apology to what he calls the 'anthropological bra burners' is never quite provided here, and the book is predictably silent on African-American and indigenous history. Instead it repeats Noël's more generalizing, but pioneering commitment to re-imagining 'the broken and the commonplace' as 'tools to give post-medieval history a new dimension'.
The book concludes with regret for the changes at Williamsburg from the late 1970s, which redefined it 'less as an ongoing restoration project than as a university campus, and regret for the closure of Colonial Williamsburg's archaeological service in 2007, and regret for the selling-off of Carter's Grove in 2008. Indeed, the book's sustained melancholy reminds the reader that Noël's vision of archaeology as 'handmaiden to history', rather than an anthropological pursuit, was wedded to a particular nostalgic vision of re-fitting the fragments of an imagined English past. With a degree of showmanship, he collides British 1940s counter-modernism with the latent colonial revivalism of 1950s Williamsburg. And while the empirical results of Noël's 'history with the dirt on' were sometimes disappointing, his central role in establishing the archaeology of the modern period as a creative field of enquiry – grounded, in his famous phrase, in 'the art and mystery of historical archaeology' – is indisputable.
A Passion for the Past is a likable and honest account of an archaeological life. It re-states the humanism that lay at the heart of the 20th-century rescue and preservation movements: the persuasive suggestion that, as Noël has it, 'artifacts have to be seen first as fragments of life and only afterward as potsherds to be scientifically studied'.

Acts 10
Cornelius Calls for Peter
Caesarea's inhabitants included
Cornelius, a man divinely mooded
who happened to be part of Rome's huge army,
a captain never anything near barmy;
devout was he as were, in fact, all folk
in his mere household -- far above some joke
that might accuse all humans of long staying
quite sure to be sad creatures often straying;
he happily both generously gave
the poor much sustenance & seemed a slave
to offering perfected prayers to God.
Near three one afternoon, when eyes will nod
toward special reveries, he had a vision
in which one heavenly angel sans derision
approached him & addressed him, very loud:
"Cornelius!" Cornelius, so cowed
he almost more than seemed composed of fear,
replied: "Dear sir, what brings you here so near?"
The angel answered: "How you treat the poor
is something God perceives as an allure,
an offering deserving of much note.
Now send some men to Joppa, & let float
strong summons toward a man named Simon Peter
who lives with one more Simon, a completer
of special tanning & a resident
near beaches maybe nearly opulent."
No sooner had that angel vanished quite
than brave Cornelius with words unslight
required a couple of his household helpers,
plus one devoted soldier, serve like whelpers
of wondrous news; & soon he sent them all
toward Joppa, to declare what worlds let fall.
Peter Visits Cornelius
While those three messengers were traveling
& nearing Joppa Peter chose to bring
his presences atop a roof whose flatness
might niftily support the verbal fatness
his varied prayers would very strongly form
against how some events implied a storm.
High noon then loomed so absolutely large
much hunger had set in & taken charge;
while Peter's next repast was being made
he drifted in a trance that would not fade,
& suddenly the sky cracked open wide
& let his eyesight feel nigh edified
as something like some huge four-cornered sheet
descended in a manner neat & meet.
Within that sheet throve many forms of life --
beasts, reptiles, & bright birds -- , all sleek & rife;
a voice then said to Peter: "Peter, go,
& slaughter all those creatures till their glow
has had some final opportunity
to feed your stomach highly splendidly."
"Lord," answered Peter, "Never once, at all,
have I consumed food whose components fall
outside the purviews of our Jewish laws
as those decree some facts chock-full of flaws."
That voice, however, spoke again & said:
"Call nothing 'foul' which God has left no shred
of sorrow on"; then, three more times repeated,
that selfsame vision saw its force regreeted;
then, all at once, the sheet was pulled toward heaven.
Perplexed, as though hit hard by some strange leaven,
did Peter sense much vast uncertainty
about that vanished vision's vibrancy,
& at that very moment, those three men
Cornelius sent saw clearly in their ken
the house of Simon & outside its gate
sincerely craved one Simon Peter's fate;
&, in the meantime, as dear Peter stayed
in puzzlement those visions made remade,
the Holy Spirit said to him: "Three men
have sought you, Peter, time & time again;
now go downstairs, & with scant hesitation
& for whatever adequate duration,
accompany them gladly, since my wishes
decree such action 'perfect & nonvicious.'"
Indeed, then, Peter, went downstairs & said:
I am the man you're seeking, & I'm led
toward begging you to tell me truthfully
exactly why you want to speak with me."
They glibly answered: "We were sent along
by one Cornelius -- a Roman strong,
an officer devoutly full of graces
& liked by sundry Jews in lofty places;
an angel from on high instructed him
to ask you to arrive with ample vim,
in order that he might hospitably
receive from you your new verbality."
Soon Peter had invited those three souls
to stay the night & sharpen several goals;
the day ensuing saw both him & them,
& other Joppan brothers, strive to stem
all senses of aloofness & apartness,
sad causers of excessive social tartness;
once in Caesarea, that jolly crowd
met with Cornelius & seemed endowed
with possibilities gregarious
that might preclude a world too ominous.
When Peter had set foot inside his house,
Cornelius fell, prostrate, like some mouse
abjectly lost in total scurryings
resembling all of Nature's sufferings;
yet, Peter gently asked that officer
to practice modes entirely happier;
"Stand up!" he said; "I'm human just like you!"
Thus, with in fact no further large to-do,
those recent visitors all strode inside,
wherein all found effects seemed unified.
Advice from Peter bloomed, in words like these:
"You surely know how laws & verities
long practiced by us won't permit a Jew
to gain much entry, nor to mar the view,
in any Gentile's home -- nor ever slightly
to share in ways you live your life politely;
however, God has lately shown to me
I ought to cease opining hostilely
in styles that deem a person or a group
an entity that poisons any soup.
I therefore hastened here immediately
when told you might have some real need of me;
now, please declare how I might prove of use!"
Cornelius's answer, undiffuse,
harked back to when at three o'clock past noon
some four days previous a quasi-swoon
set in & seemed to blind him utterly.
"Why, all at once" (said he) "in front of me
a man in dazzling clothing stood & spoke;
'Cornelius, like some strange masterstroke,
feel vastly blessed!' was how the talk began,
&, soon enough, that selfsame sounding ran:
'God certainly has noted & esteemed
your charity as such keeps worlds engleamed!
Send messengers to Joppa, & discover
where Simon Peter lives, & he must hover
(at least for now) within the domicile
of one more Simon, known to own the guile
of practicing fine tanning while a dweller
quite near the seashore'; thus, like some impeller
of pure perfection, I soon sent for you,
& that you now are here enshrines life's view.
We all are gathered, wondrously together,
in hopes you'll kindly serve as some strong tether
providing us whatever news you have
of how the Lord might be our utmost salve."
The Gentiles Hear the Good News
Then Peter answered: "I now clearly see
God plays no favorites in mundanity;
in every nation extant on the Earth,
He tolerates all humans full of worth
whose fear of Him pervasively includes
correct intentions couched in kindly moods.
That surely is the message of Good News
for all of Israel -- words worlds might use
to bolster concepts Jesus Christ remains
the source for God's removing sundry banes,
since Jesus surely is the very Lord
whose potencies should never be ignored!
You're quite aware of much that soon occurred
throughout Judea once John spread the word,
at first in Galilee, about his styles
of baptism against life's many trials;
&, furthermore, you genuinely know
of God's anointing Jesus, whose main glow
seemed Nazarene, with total kinds of power
that made pure Holiness all truth's endower;
then Jesus went from place to place & fashioned
much goodness that included ways impassioned
that quickly healed assorted populations
oppressed by Satan's goadings 'gainst great nations.
And all of us apostles could attest,
in grand regard, to ways in which our zest
within Judea & Jerusalem
let flesh bespeak large forms of diadem;
Him they did kill by hanging on some cross,
yet God in three mere days repaired that loss
by letting Him rebreathe, then show His powers
to us again, who'd known Him through long hours.
He had already shared both drink & food
when, having quite regained His former mood
& thriving richly, He had ordered us
to preach His Word without one jot of fuss
so far & wide that every soul might sense
how fully Jesus counters each offense
opposing godliness & is a judge
whose tendernesses bid no glory budge.
He first & last, we all might testify,
has strengths that force all forms of death to die,
so every breathing entity on Earth,
along with lives deceased, might know the mirth
that once apparently permitted life
to seem &, yes, to be, bereft of strife –
so much so that with helps from God's mere name
some total terminus might end all shame."
The Gentiles Receive the Holy Spirit
As Peter thus was preaching ardently
the Holy Spirit showed much harmony
by visiting the group's assembled strength
as every heart was liking each word's length;
those Jewish converts who arrived with Peter
seemed awed by God as 'greeter & completer' –
a force who let mere Gentiles understand
so deeply their strange talk had large command
of life's full godliness; then Peter asked:
"Would anybody feel too overtasked
by being baptized, now that one & all
have joined us in the very rich nonsquall
of taking in the Holy Spirit's powers
as those provide through umpteen days & hours?"
He soon gave orders for the ritual
(entirely likely to prove beautiful)
of baptizings devoutly aimed toward Christ,
&, after celebrations seemed sufficed,
Cornelius quite cordially requested
his skill for hospitality be tested.

The dead dugong was pulled out of the sea between Koh Pu and Phi Phi Island. The other dead dugong was found washed ashore on Hat Samran beach in Trang's Hat Samran district.
The Krabi dugong was a 2.3-metre long male weighing about 400kg, said Worapoj Lomlin, head of Hat Noppharat Thara – Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park.
The dugong was transported to Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya's Trang campus for an autopsy, he said.
The Krabi dugong was the fourth death, and the Trang dugong the fifth, in the past four months, said Mr Kongkiat in his Facebook post yesterday.
Thon Thamrongnawasawat, deputy dean of Faculty of Fisheries of Kasetsart University, said the dugongs may have been hunted for their tusks which are made into talismans.
The expert said the earlier rescues of two young dugongs, named Mariam and Yamil, had captivated the public.
Those two young dugongs are now being nursed under the care of the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources.
Meanwhile, a group of more than 100 blacktip reef sharks were also spotted swimming near a wharf located on Hong archipelago in Krabi's Ao Luk district.
Some officials at Than Bok Khorani National Park said that was the largest number of blacktip reef sharks they had observed in the area.

My 17 favorite pics from 2017
Looking back
For the last several years as part of my year-ender posts, I share some of my favorite pictures of each year. It's always very hard to narrow down to 17 because I post a new pic each day on Facebook. Here they are in no particular order.

My math skills are limited but that's not unusual. Try as I might during junior high school I could learn how to use the quadratic equation that haunts middle schoolers everywhere but I could never tell you why it mattered or what it did. My experience is probably commonplace; it is primarily mathematicians that can tell you why the quadratic equation matters. That lesson about understanding the implications of relatively simple math suggests why recent calls for companies to share publicly their algorithms, which are complex computer coding instructions like the quadratic equation on steroids, are mistaken.
While many people are making a living coding software today, algorithms are even harder to read than math equations. An algorithm is, in essence, a complex set of instructions to a computer for sorting and sifting through data sets. Translating and interpreting an algorithm – achievable by computer scientists and computer engineers – may tell you what work a computer program may undertake but little more.
Well intentioned privacy advocates and academics are making a new demand that companies disclose their complex computer codes for making choices for and about consumers – so called "algorithmic transparency." The idea behind the request, ensuring fairness in the outcomes of companies' data analytics, is noble. But advocates' reform targets are off the mark.
Understanding the sifting and sorting process that a code directs a computer to undertake does not tell consumers, companies or government agencies whether the algorithm could be a tool for discriminatory action. Instead of seeking transparency of software code, we should be passing laws to prevent the unfair use of data against individuals.
Worries that the increasing availability of data about individuals and groups could, when paired with sophisticated computer algorithms, become a new tool for oppression and injury are understandable. We all agree that computing power should not facilitate bias. To stop bias, however, privacy advocates should focus on data brokers buying and selling discriminatory information about customers to unscrupulous businesses to plug into algorithms. Calls for radical algorithm transparency from America's businesses, rather than stopping misuses of data being sold, is like a doctor treating a symptom rather than curing an underlying disease. The currently prescribed algorithmic transparency prescription is no cure.
First, businesses are unlikely to turn over their algorithms – even under duress – for fear of disclosing their business secrets. Simply requiring American companies to cough up their code could be a gift-wrapped present for foreign competitors who would benefit from the competitive advantage they had just been handed. It is unimaginable to think that foreign countries would reciprocate and demand similar transparency from their companies. Even if they would, the comparative success of US-headquartered data companies would mean that Goliath would be handing a foreign David the stone to slay him.
Second, once an algorithm from a company like Facebook is leaked, companies marketing to Facebook users will be able to manipulate those algorithms to gain unfair market advantage and take advantage of consumers. Imagine ad serving, search or social networking software being bombarded by sophisticated businesses eager to improve their businesses by using the disclosed code to their benefit. It's possible this utterly predictable gamesmanship would leave individuals and disfavored groups worse off in the digital marketplace than they are today.
Third, let's imagine there are legions of altruistic, civic activist algorithm readers in the ranks of coders, or that we could crowd source the review of certain companies' algorithms. Without explicit coding directions that say, for example, reprehensible, bigoted or offensive things like "exclude gays" or "flag people from the wrong side of the track," we still would not have people who could tell us whether any algorithm is fair or just. The skills that make someone a great coder do not necessarily translate into their ability to detect or identify sources of bias.
Fourth, forcing companies' to make algorithms public and getting them translated diverts altruistic coders' best societal uses; we would rather have them instead using their rare talents to build code to tackle society's most intractable problems. Progressives should want to put the best software-producing talent out there to crunch data to solve more pressing problems, such as helping to produce enough clean water for the planet, stamp out redlining of the poor and minorities, or identify previously unknown cancer clusters. Pushing coders into reviewing companies' algorithms seems like a waste of their talent.
Moreover, we should not blame the messenger when the message is an unfair one. The algorithm itself does not perpetuate bias. It is the people collecting the underlying data analyzed by an algorithm, or those who misuse the outputs from an algorithm who are biased. Code that uses biased data is not the problem. Rather, corporate America should commit to stamping out underlying bias in society instead of society blaming technology for society's biases.
Algorithms, like statistics, can of course be manipulated. Virtually any technology can be perverted and used for ill. Many technologies have been misused, but that does not mean we should reject the technology. The better solution is to prevent unfair outcomes for individuals. Instead of blaming consumer code for society's ills, let's use advanced analytics and ever-increasing processing speeds to crunch massive data sets to solve societal problems.
What really matters is whether the data input contains bias and whether the output of the analytics will be used for ill to harm an individual or society. The call for algorithmic transparency should be a call to all companies to anticipate and prevent bias using sophisticated data.

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)
A GMP is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimise the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product.
GMP Genuine Certification
GMP genuine certificates are issued for the purpose of exportation of locally manufactured registered products. It endorses that the local manufacturer complies with the current GMP requirements. These certificates are required by the overseas regulatory agencies for products registration in their countries. Thus when filling in the GMP certificate application form, the correct address of overseas regulatory agencies given by the companies is crucial.

Topics: Main Topic: Identity and Community, Jewish Identity, National Identity, Nationalism, Jewish - Non - Jewish Relations
Abstract: This paper will investigate the construction and ongoing renegotiation of Jewish identity in the Irish context from the late nineteenth century to the present day, considering how some of the key elements that have shaped modern Irish identity have impacted on the consciousness of Ireland's tiny Jewish minority. Jewish immigration to Ireland, which peaked between 1890 and 1905, coincided with the crystallisation of an Irish identity with a strong foundation in the beliefs and values of Roman Catholicism. Consequently, the emerging discourses of Irish nationalism, in particular the struggle for independence and the complex Irish relationship with Britain, have had a major influence on the formation of a specific Irish-Jewish identity. The impact of Irish nationalism, sectarianism and anti-Jewish prejudice in a still-evolving Irish society will be explored in terms of Jewish perception and identity formation on both the individual and the collective levels. After a brief introduction, I will outline my findings on the Jewish relationship with Irish nationalism, before exploring the way in which Irish-Jewish identity has tended to be presented to the wider world. Issues to be considered will include the significance of variations in nuance between different representations of Irish-Jewish identity and belonging; the role of communal narrative in shaping the consciousness of the individual; and the question of why, in the post-modern era, it should be necessary to keep searching for, re-/presenting and justifying the identity of a minority within a minority to the world at large. Throughout, the focus will remain on the need for a fresh approach to the sources and the issues at hand, in order to create a more holistic, objective and inclusive history of the Jewish experience in Ireland.
'Remember, Reflect, Reimagine': Jews and Irish nationalism through the lens of the 1916 centenary commemorations
Date: 2017
Abstract: This paper examines popular representations of Jewish attitudes towards Irish nationalism, and the way that these have evolved in the hundred years between the Easter Rising of 1916 and its centenary commemorations in 2016. Although it is now a standard assumption that Jews supported the Irish nationalist movement, including its militant branch, sources from the first half of the twentieth century suggest that the reality was in fact significantly more nuanced and ambivalent. The fiftieth anniversary of the Easter Rising appears to have marked a turning point for constructions of both Irish and Irish Jewish identity. In 1966, the Irish government viewed the first state-sponsored commemoration of 1916 as an opportunity to foster more unifying and inclusive constructions of "Irishness" with the Easter Rising as a focal point. Around this time, a more positive narrative of Jewish engagement with Irish nationalism also appears to have emerged. In the ensuing fifty years this narrative has been gradually buttressed, expanded upon and embellished, particularly in the run-up to the much anticipated centenary commemorations of 2016. In this article I investigate how the narrative of Jews and Irish nationalism has evolved, and continues to evolve, in response to changing needs and circumstances both within and beyond Ireland's Jewish community.

Boosting 'Embarassment' Welfare Payments Would Help Economy
Newstart payments haven't increased in 24 years.
The rate of Newstart payments has been labelled a "national embarrassment" as calls to increase the welfare allowance grow louder after a landmark report outlined the economic benefits of such a reform.
The Australian Council of Social Service has urged the government to immediately raise payments following the release of a new report from accounting giant Deloitte. The report, commissioned by ACOSS, found lifting allowances by $75 per week would lead to a boost for the Australian economy and to regional communities.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
"The report finds that increasing these payments will boost wellbeing in regional communities doing it the toughest, lifting the incomes of people most in need, as well as delivering 12,000 new jobs," ACOSS said.
"The message from the economists at Deloitte is clear: lifting Newstart and reducing poverty and inequality is resoundingly good for the economy."

The current rate for a single person, $272.90 per week, has not risen in real terms for two decades. Other government welfare payments, like the aged pension, have risen significantly in that time.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
The Newstart rate is well below the minimum wage ($694 a week) and poverty line, with previous research from the Salvation Army saying recipients are surviving on just $17 a day after paying for accommodation.
The amount of payment available under government welfare arrangements has increasingly come under the spotlight in recent times, with calls from various charities, unions, economists, and the federal Labor and Greens parties to raise the rate.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
ACOSS chief executive Cassandra Goldie is demanding action.
"What we'd like to see from both major parties is a commitment to immediately increase the Newstart payment by $75 per week," Goldie told reporters on Monday.
"What we're talking about is a group of people who have been deeply affected by the refusal of successive governments to index allowances in the same way we've been indexing the aged pension."
Labor's position is to review Newstart if it forms government, but Goldie says that is "not good enough".
"We welcome Labor's acknowledgement that it's too low, we welcome a commitment to do a review but the review should be about how we never end up this situation again," she said.
Labor MPs Jim Chalmers and Terri Butler told reporters on Monday they were looking forward to a review of payments.
"What we want to do is go about it in a very responsible and considered, measured way in government with full resources," Chalmers said.
"Tapping some of the best minds in this area to work out all the various interactions of Newstart and other government payments and see if anything can be done about it."
Greens senator Rachel Siewert, who last week introduced a bill into the parliament that proposed raising Newstart by $75 a week, said the change was overdue.
"This is a reform that would help some of the most disadvantaged members of our community, those who struggle with even the basics like being able to afford food," she said.
"The Parliament now has the chance to make a concrete difference to people's lives and ensure that people in our community aren't living in poverty while they look for work."
Australian Council of Trade Unions president Michele O'Neil also backed the reform.
"Too many people in Australia are struggling to make ends meet. Whether people are in work or not, we need to change the rules so that no-one lives in poverty," she said.

KEWANEE, Illinois — A 17-year-old student at Kewanee Wethersfield High School was arrested on several drug-related charges on Thursday, Nov. 9, for allegedly selling cannabis on school grounds.
The Kewanee Street Crimes Unit, after receiving a tip, conducted a search at the school on Nov. 9, using K-9 units from both the Kewanee police and Henry County Sheriff's Department. During the search of a vehicle in the parking lot, officers discovered around 10.6 grams (1/3 of an ounce) of cannabis, a digital scale and other drug paraphernalia in a student's vehicle.
That student was charged with manufacture or delivery of cannabis between 10 and 30 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Four-year degrees are now the norm for many young people. With the intensity of student debt and no job guarantees, is it worth it for everyone? Julie Gunlock from Independent Women's Forum stopped by Bold Life to share her thoughts on possible alternatives. She emphasized the fact that "all work brings with it dignity," so you don't have to force yourself into a profession that requires a four-year degree. She told us:
"[There is] this sort of idea that to have a good life, you have to invest in these kinds of degrees. I don't think it's true — in fact I think it harms a lot of young people who would probably benefit from some jobs and a path that doesn't require that much education."
