The San Antonio Arts Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved the City of San Antonio's Department of Arts and Culture's budget for arts agencies. The City's fiscal year 2019 budget will go before City Council in August and it will include the first arts agency budget developed under new equity lens guidelines.
If approved, local nonprofit arts organizations will receive an annual total of $6,783,833 over the next three fiscal years. That figure represents an annual funding increase of $537,433, or nearly 8.6 percent more than the 2018 budget. In past budgets, arts agency funding was set in two-year increments. Under the new Cul-TÚ-Art Plan, Debbie Racca-Sittre, director of the Department of Arts and Culture, has recommended a three-year budget cycle.
The funds are derived from a portion of local Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) revenue, dedicated to "the creation, encouragement, promotion and exhibition of the arts and culture of San Antonio," according to the City's website.
Most agencies will experience funding increases, to 120-150 percent of 2018 funding, and none will receive less than 75 percent of their previous funding allocations. Increases and decreases were capped by the department in order to prevent unmanageable changes to agency budgeting, Racca-Sittre has said. Click here to download a full list of funding changes.
The overall increase in available funds allowed funding increases for 37 of 43 eligible organizations. Of the six "large agencies," four received the same amount of funding as in 2018 (The DoSeum, Briscoe Western Art Museum, Southwest School of Art, and San Antonio Museum of Art), and two, the Witte Museum and the San Antonio Symphony, will receive decreased funding to 75 percent of their previous levels. Two festival organizations, Cactus Pear Music Festival and Luminaria, will also receive 75 percent of 2018 funding.
Two other festival organizations, Avenida Guadalupe Association and the Japan America Society of San Antonio, did not meet eligibility guidelines for City funding.
Nicole Amri, program director for youth arts education agency SAY SÍ, disagreed with the peer review panelists who found that her organization did not meet "culturally specific" program guidelines, which would have made SAY SÍ eligible for an additional 15 percent funding over their base funding for operational support.
Two other groups, Network for Young Artists and Forward Progress, were also deemed ineligible for culturally specific program funds. Eligibility guidelines and funding details for those funds are available on page 13 of the City's arts funding guidelines.
Through SAY SÍ educational programs, kids learn to express their identities, and become creative leaders in the community, Amri said, "doing exactly what we think this designated funding has the opportunity to do, really break down barriers and let this next generation cultivate what culture means, and what inclusivity means."
In response to Amri's concerns, Racca-Sittre pointed out that the "culturally specific" designation is based on the nature of the programming and mission of an agency – not on whom the agency serves. Arts Commission Chair Guillermo Nicolas pointed out that SAY SÍ will receive 107 percent of its 2018 funding amount next year, though it will not receive the extra 15 percent it wanted.
SAY SÍ plans to expand its programs, Amri said, and will have to seek funding elsewhere to meet those goals.
Seven groups will receive funding under the culturally specific category: Conjunto Heritage Taller, San Anto Cultural Arts, Inc., Centro Cultural Aztlan, American Indians in Texas at the Colonial Missions, Urban-15 Group, Esperanza Peace and Justice Center, and Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center. All received a range of increases to 120 percent to 150 percent of their 2018 allotments.
"It seems like it was a win for everybody," said Graciela Sánchez, executive director of Esperanza Peace and Justice Center, crediting Racca-Sittre's prior experience in other City departments, where equity in contracting with minority-owned businesses is mandated.
"What she did I think helped everybody," Sánchez said. "Not just culturally-specific groups, but everybody in general. And yet there's room for improvement," she said.
During its meeting, Arts Commission members said they appreciated the hard work done by Arts Funding Committee members, peer review panelists, the department's staff, and particularly Racca-Sittre, who became director of the department in 2016 and has guided its new cultural equity funding policy.
"Debbie Racca-Sittre is a breath of fresh air. She has changed what that office was," said Henry Brun, a prominent jazz musician and 20-year Arts Commission veteran. "Now the office is truly a champion of the arts … [she has] put in long hours."
Those "long hours" included multiple community input sessions and workshops with artists and nonprofit arts organizations, to explain how the new focus on cultural equity would affect funding decisions, and to help guide agencies through the application process.
Most importantly, Brun said, was Racca-Sittre's focus on community involvement in helping shape the policy. "To have guidelines actually inspired by the people, and vetted by the community, says a lot about what that office has done over the last two years," he said.
Now, though, the true hard work begins, Brun said. "To me, the agencies need to be accountable for producing stellar programming with the money they get from us," he said.

One aspect of our discussion today that interested me, was how the "fendys" were the cause, or instigators, of the sin in "The Incestuous Daughter" and "The Jealous Wife." In the former, we (and the Bishop) see them dragging the woman with a chain around her neck, obviously leading her in the path of sin. In the later, the husband automatically attributes his wife's behavior (of murdering their children and herself) to the fiends. Even in "The Knight who Forgave his Father's Slayer" and "Sir Cleges," there is much moral ambiguity. As we discussed in class, there is no distinct explanation of why the first Knight killed the father, only that the son Knight should avenge his father's death because it's "right" to do so. In "Sir Cleges," the Knight's generosity leads to his own poverty, and after complaining (and some violence) God graces him with more riches than he had before. Their religion in the end saves them, but I wonder what their behavior has to do with it.
The last two texts particularly made me wonder what role free will served in Medieval Catholicism. It seems that the fiends lead the characters into great folly that is only saved through their (or their loved one's) religious repentance. Admittedly, I know very little about Catholicism, but I wondered, what role did "free will" have in the middle ages–in these texts the characters' bad actions are attributed to the Devil(s) while their good actions of prayer and contrition are their own and worthy of God's mercy. I guess, as Exemplum works, this emphasized the importance of God's will and mercy over that of humans.

This court took judicial notice of the Framingham water supply act, St. 1906, c. 526.
In the absence of evidence that a town had accepted the provisions of Sections 42A and 42F of G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 40, they were not considered by this court in an action by a landlord for reimbursement by a tenant for water charges paid by the landlord to the town.
An agreement by a tenant at will with his landlord to pay the charges for municipal water used by the tenant on the premises was not shown by the mere fact that he made no reply when the landlord sent him water bills which the landlord had received from the municipality and had paid.
In the absence of any contractual or statutory obligation, a tenant at will is under no duty to pay the charges for municipal water used by him on the premises, and the landlord cannot recover the amount of the charges from him after having been compelled to pay them to the municipality.
CONTRACT for the amount of the charges for water supplied by the town of Framingham to the defendant and used by him on premises hired from the plaintiff. Writ in the First District Court of Southern Middlesex dated April 12, 1941.
The action was heard by Luby, J., who refused the following requests for rulings by the plaintiff: "1. The evidence justifies a finding of fact that the plaintiff and defendant
Page 472
agreed that defendant would pay all water charges for water used and consumed by the defendant while the defendant was a tenant of the plaintiff. 2. A local custom or usage which may exist concerning the rights and duties of the landlord and tenant of a tenancy at will cannot change or alter or vary the rights and duties as established by law and the law relative to a tenancy at will is the same throughout the Commonwealth." "7. In the absence of any agreement between the landlord and the tenant of a tenancy at will relative to the payment of water rates or charges for water used by the tenant on the premises, the tenant is under a legal duty to pay such water charges, and upon the tenant's failure to perform such duty and upon the landlord's payment of such charges to prevent the imposition of a lien on the premises, the landlord may recover from such tenant the amount of the water charges so paid."
The judge found for the defendant. His report to the Appellate Division for the Northern District contained the following: "No evidence of any kind or nature was introduced relative to any custom and usage in Framingham, Massachusetts, or anywhere else, relative to payment or to nonpayment of water bills by landlord or tenant, with or without a special or a general agreement other than that which the court knows of its own knowledge. . . . Upon all the evidence in this case I find as a fact that the defendant made no promises or agreement of any kind, either to the plaintiff or its agents or servants, to pay for the water used on the premises. . . . I further find as a fact that in the absence of a special agreement to pay water bills, the custom and usage in Framingham, Massachusetts, that being the location of tenement rented by defendant from the plaintiff, is that the supplying of water for domestic use is incidental to the contract of hiring and that the cost thereof is paid by the landlord and not the tenant."
The Appellate Division ordered the report dismissed, and the plaintiff appealed.
L. Whittemore, for the plaintiff.
C. A. Sheridan, for the defendant.
Page 473
LUMMUS, J. In this case the briefs refer us to G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 40, Sections 42A and 42F, which make charges for water supplied at the request "of the owner or tenant" a lien on the real estate, and give to "an owner of real estate who, in order to prevent the imposition of a lien thereon or to discharge the same, has paid charges for water furnished to a tenant or other person who was bound to pay the same," a right to recover over from the tenant. See Mechanics Savings Bank v. Collector of Taxes of Holyoke, 299 Mass. 404. But these statutes cannot be considered, for they apply only in municipalities which accept them, and there is nothing to show that Framingham, where the land in this case was situated, ever accepted them. Handyside v. Powers, 145 Mass. 123, 128. The plaintiff's brief refers us also to the Framingham water supply act, St. 1906, c. 526, which contains the following section: "Section 5. The owner of any tenement, building or other property, the occupants of which use water supplied under the provisions of this act, shall be liable for the payment of such water, and in case of non-payment by him, the sums due therefor may be collected in an action of contract brought in the name of the town of Framingham." This, we think, was substantially an act of incorporation, of which we take judicial notice. G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 233, Section 74. American Steel & Wire Co. v. Bearse, 194 Mass. 596, 600, 601. Brodsky v. Fine, 263 Mass. 51, 54. Bleck v. East Boston Co. 302 Mass. 127, 128.
The defendant in this case hired a tenement as a tenant at will from the plaintiff to live in with his family. The plaintiff paid to the town of Framingham charges for water used by the defendant, and brings this action of contract to recover the amount. The plaintiff sent the water bills, received from the town, to the defendant, who made no reply. There was no evidence of any custom in the town or elsewhere as to whether the landlord or the tenant should pay water bills. There was no agreement between the parties as to paying water bills. The judge found for the defendant, and reported the case to the Appellate Division.
The defendant was under no obligation to reply when
Page 474
sent the water bills, and his failure to do so did not show an agreement on his part to pay them, under the doctrine of Milliken v. Warwick, 306 Mass. 192, 197, and cases there cited. No contractual or statutory duty on the part of the defendant to pay for water as between the parties is shown. The three requests relied on by the plaintiff were rightly refused.
Order of Appellate Division dismissing report affirmed.

Two Best Project awards have been given by Engineering News Record (ENR) Southwest to SolarReserve, a developer of utility-scale solar power for a particular solar project it designed for Nevada called Crescent Dunes. The construction phase of the project has been completed, and now the project is in the commissioning phase, which means the plant is being started up and tested. (Construction began in 2011, so we see how fast it can be to build a large solar power plant.)
Utility-scale solar is not new, but the Crescent Dunes facility also has its own form of energy storage. Heat created by the solar power system is transferred to a molten salt power tower. The heated salt is extremely hot and can retain its heat for hours. In fact, it can provide 10 hours of full-load energy storage.
"The Crescent Dunes project will set industry standards for solar energy storage and will prove U.S. developed technology to be the world's leading solution to efficiently and cost effectively store solar energy, so electricity can be dispatched to meet demand whenever it's needed – day and night," explained SolarReserve's CEO, Kevin Smith.
The electricity generated by the plant will be used by NV Energy during peak energy demand times. It has been estimated that Crescent Dunes will be able to provide electricity to about 75,000 homes during such peak energy periods.
NV Energy signed a 25 year power purchase agreement for the plant's electricity.
Many solar power plants don't have the electricity storage capability that Crescent Dunes does, so it has an advantage over them, and that is one of the reasons it was given the engineering awards.
Another project plus was the fact the most of the construction workers were sourced from within Nevada, so the local economy received some sort of boost. Once operational, the plant will employ about 45 permanent workers.
A Department of Energy loan of $737 million was included in closed financing for the project. SolarReserve, ACS Cobra and Santander also invested.
Through the first ten years of operation, it has been estimated that about $37 million will be generated in tax revenues.
SolarReserve, LLC has its headquarters in Santa Monica, CA

Language barrier blocks British graduates
British graduates are missing out on top business jobs because of their lack of language skills, an academic has warned ahead of a review of the Government's foreign languages policy. Bill Houston, programme director of undergraduate international business at Newcastle Business School at Northumbria University, said a shortage of languages was having a knock-on effect in the business world. Mr Houston said British graduates were increasingly losing out to their foreign counterparts for top jobs because they did not have the bilingual skills required for those positions. Lord Dearing, in his interim report on language teaching to be published this week, is expected to say that French, Spanish and German should be made compulsory in primary schools.

Economics - the electronic way
Cambridge students signing up for the Judge MBA in 2007 will discover that dusty old economics textbooks are passé. Instead, they will be taught the latest in both macro and micro economics using only electronic tools. The Judge Business School will be the first MBA programme to adopt the LiveEcon electronic system of teaching economics, which creator Charles Jordan describes as turning economics textbooks "into a movie". The electronic textbooks are intended to cut down the time it takes to learn economics and accounting by using interactive graphs, computer modelling, annotated text and quizzes. The micro and macro economics courses have been designed for undergraduate economics students, but at the Judge School, Jochen Runde, reader in economics, is using the material to teach MBA students.

Chemical firm 'paid cancer pioneer'
The reputation of Professor Sir Richard Doll, one of Britain's finest post-war scientists, was under siege yesterday. Sir Richard, who first definitively linked smoking to lung cancer, conducted much of his research while in the pay of chemical companies. The American Journal of Industrial Medicine says that Swedish researchers have found that Sir Richard, who also co-wrote a famous paper minimising the role of chemicals in causing cancer, failed to disclose that he was being paid at the time by the chemical company Monsanto. From 1970 to 1990, Sir Richard, who died last year, was paid up to £1,000 a day as a consultant by Monsanto, now associated with GM crops rather than chemicals.

Success of shuttle is new dawn for revived Nasa
A British astronaut was celebrating his first day in space yesterday after a spectacular shuttle launch that turned the Florida night sky to day and sealed a new dawn for Nasa. Nicholas Patrick and six crewmates streaked into orbit at 17,500mph after dismal weather conditions suddenly cleared over Cape Canaveral to allow Nasa's first night-time launch in four years. At the moment of ignition, the explosion from Discovery 's 500,000 gallons of fuel lit up the sky for 30 miles and the spacecraft was visible across much of the eastern US as it climbed aloft trailing a blinding fireball, en route to the International Space Station.

'Ray gun' cancer cure nears speed of light
Medical scientists will soon be able to offer cancer patients a radical new treatment using hugely accelerated ion particles to target tumours precisely without the dangerous side-effects of current procedures. The carbon-ion therapy accelerates ions to up to 73 per cent of the speed of light in a synchrotron - a machine similar to the particle accelerator at the Cern laboratory in Switzerland - before beams are fired into patients' cancerous cells. Juergen Debus, the chief radiologist at the Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Centre in Germany, where the treatment will first be available, claimed the process turned the carbon ions into "miniature precision-guided missiles" that can destroy cancer cells with pinpoint accuracy.

Today, many Christian churches following the most common Lectionary would have featured a particular segment of the Sermon on the Mount as the Gospel reading: namely Matthew 5:38-48. This is the part which includes Jesus' admonition to his followers to "turn the other cheek" in response to being slapped in the face, which is one of those sayings of Jesus which has entered the lingo of believers, unbelievers and … just about everyone else too.
Interestingly, it seems that it is a relatively rare occurrence for this reading to be so featured. It appears this year because of the nature of the liturgical calendar: the season of Epiphany is unusually long this year, and so today was the seventh Sunday after Epiphany, and the Lectionary for Year A is in effect (versus B or C). As a result many preachers may have found themselves addressing this famous text in depth from the pulpit for the first time.
Of-course there were ways to sidestep that too. Some preachers could have chosen to speak to one or other of the first two readings of the day, from chapter 19 of Leviticus or chapter 3 of First Corinthians. And then some of the faithful out there might have the bad luck — in my view — to attend a church where the preacher speaks mostly of things other than Holy Scripture; politics, for instance. And in some other places, including a few that reside in my memory, a cutesy story and a rundown of upcoming parish events generally suffices as a homily.
No doubt you can find some sermons given today online which address the difficult "turn the other cheek" instruction fairly head-on. One such indeed is this sermon on Matthew 5:38-48 (pdf).
In exploring the subject, the preacher in that text compares Martin Luther's rather fiercely pragmatic take on Jesus' words with the more literal angle of the early church figure St. John Chrysostom. Chrysostom is quoted explaining why he believes we really should turn the other cheek when struck by an enemy:
"What then?" it is said, "ought we not to resist the evil one?" Indeed we ought, but not in this way, but as He hath commanded, by giving one's self up to suffer wrongfully; for thus shalt thou prevail over him. For one fire is not quenched by another, but fire by water.
Now — I'm conscious of some sad irony in proceeding from mentioning Martin Luther and St. John Chrysostom to then invoking Bob Dylan (as I'm about to) because the legacies of both of those aforementioned men are marred by anti-Jewish sermons or writings to one extent or another. That's beyond just a shame, but nevertheless their stature in Christian history rests on the positive aspects of their preaching rather than those things which they got so terribly wrong.
The fact is, Chrysostom's angle on turning the other cheek to an enemy ("for thus shalt thou prevail over him") happened to remind me of a remark Bob Dylan made in an interview (with Bill Flanagan in 1985) when he commented on that same instruction. In context:
Q: "Masters of War" is a very harsh song: "I'll stand o'er your grave 'til I'm sure that you're dead." "Neighborhood Bully" is equally hard, yet a lot of critics expressed surprise at its militancy. I don't understand why so many people assume you're a pacifist. The critic Mark Rowland said you were always more concerned with justice than politics.
DYLAN: (Laughs.) Yeah. I don't know why people choose to think whatever they think. Is pacifism a philosophy? I'm not really sure what it is.
Q: If someone strikes you, you turn the other cheek.
DYLAN: That's not pacifism, though. Turning the other cheek is an aggressive move, actually. There is some strategy where if someone pushes on you, you can go with their push and make their strength work against them.
So Dylan dismisses pacifism while at the same time suggesting that turning the other cheek to an enemy can be a way of somehow vanquishing him.
As a practical matter, I think that we could all conceive of scenarios where that could be true, where an aggressor could be disconcerted or shamed by such a response, even to the point of defeat. It has happened. In some context, I don't doubt that it happens every day. I think the trouble is that we can also conceive of enemies who are incapable of shame and would simply be glad of the chance to take advantage of such acquiescence on the part of their intended victims. This especially applies to those who believe their targets to be sub-human, and therefore undeserving of sympathy in any event; e.g. the Nazis of the past and the Islamic jihadists of the present — not to mention the individual sociopath one might encounter about town. For Christians, Jesus' words must be believed and grappled with but for most of us they also must surely remain something of a mystery and even a quandary. The final part of that passage from Matthew is this sentence from Jesus: You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. On its face, this jaw-dropping instruction flies in the face of so much else in Scripture and in theology; humans are not perfect and are not God. Yet, the instruction is there in black and white, and Jesus is believed by Christians to be the one man who lived up to it. (You might say He practiced what He preached …)
Getting back to Dylan, an interesting fact is that he also addressed this "turn the other cheek" instruction in a song, and in a similar sense to the way in which he addressed it in the interview. But the song is not from his "gospel era," but rather from 1965 (his amphetamine era?). It's a verse from Queen Jane Approximately.
Now when all the bandits that you turned your other cheek to
All lay down their bandanas and complain
And you want somebody you don't have to speak to
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
So, the singer imagines the bandits who are attacking Queen Jane reaching a point of frustration, because she keeps turning the other cheek. They take off their bandannas and complain to her. Please — can't you just act like a proper victim? In the context of the song it's essentially a joke, at least to this listener, but it's a resonant and insightful one nonetheless. It comically envisages how turning the other cheek can flummox or defang an adversary. Even aged 24, Bob innately knew what turning the other cheek could mean, or could achieve, as distinct from mere submission. I think that's noteworthy.
I can't finish without mentioning that Dylan also references the same phrase from Jesus in his 1981 song Angelina.
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?
If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
Aside from observing that that particular couplet has the quality of a prayer, I'm not going to try to interpret it. I love listening to the song, but Angelina is such a swirling maelstrom of images and emotions that I'd be afraid of getting irretrievably lost in trying to figure it out.
I guess there are some songs to which you just have to turn the other cheek.

Indianapolis defeated Columbus 1-0 in a not-very-eventful game Thursday night at the Clippers' Huntington Park.
Indianapolis had its work cut out for it tonight -- opposing starter Danny Salazar was easily the best Columbus pitcher I've seen in three years living here, and he's probably one of the best pitchers currently in the minor leagues, a hard thrower who looked like a big-league ace in the making last season and might still become one if he can cut down his walks a bit. He walked five batters today, but Indianapolis' hitters failed to do much against him.
Brandon Cumpton pitched a poor first inning, walking his first two batters and giving up a line drive single to Jesus Aguilar, but Brett Morel bailed him out by starting a double play from third. He settled way down after that and didn't allow another hit until the eighth, when Carlos Moncrief led off with a double, then moved up on a sacrifice. Cumpton got a shallow fly ball and a groundout, though, and that ended his night with eight scoreless innings. He struck out three and walked four.
McGuiness led off the ninth with a double to deep left center, and then pinch-runner Mel Rojas moved up on Blake Davis' sacrifice. Dean Anna then brought Rojas home with a sacrifice fly. Josh Wall pitched the ninth for the save.
A few notes:
-P- Andrew Lambo, playing his first game back at Triple-A after a thumb injury in May, hit a line drive for an out in the first and then singled in the fourth. He whiffed in the sixth, then again in the eighth.
-P- Tony Sanchez nearly took a Salazar fastball to the face early in the game (there was some history between the two teams -- Wirfin Obispo apparently buzzed a Columbus batter twice last week in Indianapolis). But Sanchez got revenge, driving Salazar out of the game in the sixth with a double to left. Sanchez also gunned down a basestealer with a terrific throw in the sixth.
-P- Davis and Brent Morel don't hit well, but they looked terrific on the left side of the infield, making a number of tough plays. Neither of them are likely to become big-league starters, but they could probably fill in well enough if needed, because of their defense.


text: Last week, these nice ladies both came in to celebrate their birthdays. I remember them from my days when I first started at T-Bones, but hadn't seen them in a long while. They always come in together and have the same thing, just like back in the day. When I found out their special event, I hooked them up with lunch.

Light shining through a wall experiments can be used to make measurements of photon-WISP couplings. The first stage of the CASCADE experiment at the Cockcroft Institute of Accelerator Science and Technology is intended to be a proof-of-principle experiment utilising standard microwave technologies to make a modular, cryogenic HSP detector to take advantage of future high-power superconducting cavity tests. In these proceedings we will be presenting the preliminary results of the CASCADE LSW experiment showing a peak expected exclusion of $1.10 \times 10^{-8}$ in the mass range from 1.96$\mu$eV to 5.38$\mu$eV, exceeding current limits.

It takes the silence of the good for evil to prevail. Today I do not post a story for you to read and laugh and then go away holding your ribs. It is a post by Boniface Mwangi– perhaps the only person I know who still gives a damn about this country. He understands that we have been silent for far too long- we have cut our tongues out of fear. So he speaks for us. But there are tall people in high places who would rather have him dead than talking.
Remember that movie, V for Vendetta? There is something V says; "Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there?"
I hope you are human enough to let Mwangi's story spur something in you.
My name is Boniface Mwangi and I am an activist and a patriot. I say patriot, because I think it's important for people to remember why activists do the things they do. We agitate because we love our country and because we want it to be a better place for everyone who lives in it.
I have been threatened many times since l became an activist; harassing phone calls from politicians, emissaries sent to me, police visiting my office and even comments on social media urging that l should be killed. My relatives tell me that l am ridiculed on Kikuyu vernacular stations because every time l protest, the radio commentators go ballistic, accusing me of betraying my community.
On two occasions, the threats against my life have been higher; in the lead up to the last election in 2013, given the bold content we ran on our Mavulture website; and again in early 2014 just before the 13 February State of the Nation protest – a demonstration on insecurity and poverty as Kenya marked its 50th anniversary since the founding of this nation.
Earlier this year, l quit activism after l was accused of being involved in a plot to overthrow the government after staging the 'State of the Nation' protest. I learnt through back channels that there were plans by people within the government to harm me, so l quit.
I quit because I knew that every time an activist or a politician is killed in this country, the state first maligns him or her, creates doubt around their reputation, and then kills them. The assassination of Oscar King'ara and GPO Oulu State House road came after being accused of being members of the dreaded Mungiki gang by current Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua. A few hours later they were assassinated by the state.
The latest threats against me followed last week's #Tumechoka and #OccupyHarambeeAvenue protests. These protests were spurred by the Mandera terror bus attack on Saturday, 23rd November in which 28 people were shot at point-blank range by Al Shabaab militants. 24 hours after the attack, there was no word from president who was in Abu Dhabi at the time. By Sunday afternoon Kenyans On Twitter (KOT) had decided to Occupy Harambee Avenue, which I assisted in coordinating.
Occupy Harambee Avenue was the fastest protest l have ever been involved in planning; we did the planning in two days. Allegedly and unknown to me, the moment we said we were going to protest, people working at the Office of The President called a Mr. Mark Moses Mungwana to ensure the protest did not take place.
On Tuesday 25th November, the day of the protest, the first batch of activists' who arrived found drunk goons waiting for me. The goons asserted that were looking for Boniface Mwangi but l did not arrive until around 11:30 with a car full of crosses to symbolize the people who have died due to terror attacks in Kenya's recent past. Almost immediately, the goons attacked me. I later learnt that the goons were supposed to cause a scuffle and one of them was meant to stab me.
During the scuffle l shouted at the police to arrest the man with the knife but they ignored me. During the entire confrontation between the Occupy Harambee Avenue peaceful protestors and the goons, the police watched us without intervening. All this happened outside the office of the president.
I tracked down the goons who were hired to stab me and they told me they were told the government was on their side. They allege that the money to hire the goons came from the Office of the President. They assert was allegedly given to Mark Moses Mungwana who contracted Henry Shitanda because according to the office of the president,"he is a known hooligan". Mungwana was assisted by a Mr. Livingstone Ngugi. Shitanda later told me they had been assured that no one would be arrested if they managed to stab me.
Mark Moses Mungwana does the dirty jobs for the Office of the President and one of his mentors is Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria. In September 2014, Moses Kuria threatened me publicly and l reported to the police but no action has been taken yet. The police officers told me – "We cannot summon the president's friend".
Kuria, who is facing charges of hate speech, has been gagged by the courts from making xenophobic and hateful posts on his social media accounts.
I have reported the matter to the police and if anything happens, know that the President's men will have carried it out. Since Kenyatta became president about 94 activists have reported threats on their lives, some have quit and others have been forced to leave the country. All the threats were reported to the police but not a single person has been charged with threatening human rights defenders. I have no intention of leaving this country, nor will l stop the work l am doing.
Government propaganda says that we are paid to protest,but by whom? I earn my honest living as a photographer and a team leader at Pawa254 – a collaborative space for journalists, artists and activists.
Good governance, accountability, transparency are not foreign ideals. It is insulting to tell us when we demand better that we are doing at the bidding of "foreign masters". l shall not allow fear or state sponsored violence to silence my voice.
The struggle for a better Kenya continues.

text: Week In the Know | June 1, 2018 Top Stories Disaster recovery leader says RISE West Virginia is 'stagnant' CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Jack Lipphardt, director of West Virginia United Methodist Disaster Recovery, is frustrated by the pace of long-term flood recovery. In mid-May, Lipphardt wrote a letter to Sen. Joe Manchin's office, asking for assistance. Emails reveal more details surrounding WV flood recovery program's woes Amid several emails wondering why a $150 million flood recovery program wasn't getting money to the people it was supposed to help, one emergency official was told that Gov. Jim Justice had frozen the program because of the legislative session — an explanation the governor's spokesman vigorously disputes. WV Governor, Senate president point fingers on flood recovery office legislation Both the Governor's office and the Senate president say they're not to blame for a recovery office created after the deadly June 2016 flood winding up under the state Department of Commerce. The spat comes as public scrutiny regarding the stagnation of a $150 million federal flood recovery program grows, and legal and legislative investigations loom. Elections Democratic poll: Manchin up double digits in West Virginia Senate Democrats didn't get Don Blankenship as their GOP opponent in West Virginia. But they are nonetheless happy with the matchup between Sen. Joe Manchin and Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. A Democratic poll taken after the GOP primary this month shows Manchin leading Morrisey, 52-40, in the critical Senate race, according to a summary obtained by POLITICO. The poll was paid for by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and conducted by Geoff Garin of Hart Research Associates. Consumers Jackie Roberts PSC Consumer Advocate Utilities save millions because of federal tax reform CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Appalachian Power Company saved $235 million dollars from the federal tax cuts and the company is proposing passing the money back to its customers in a variety of ways. The multi-pronged proposal is in a filing with the state Public Service Commission due Wednesday. The PSC is requiring all utilities to tell it their tax cut savings and what they plan to do with it. Education WVU Rep: Rising tuition doesn't change school's value MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia University remains the best 'bang for your buck' in the region, according to WVU's Rob Alsop. Polls say teachers underpaid, and higher taxes to pay them OK Teachers seeking higher pay and more school funding walked out of classrooms in half a dozen states this year. Now, three national polls report that most Americans agree that educators don't earn enough. And two of the surveys found that at least half of Americans said they would pay higher taxes to raise educator salaries. With Shootings on the Rise, Schools Turn to 'Active Shooter' Insurance After every mass shooting, more calls come in: from private companies, from large stadiums, and — increasingly — from government agencies and public schools. They all want to talk about the same thing. "We probably have seen a tenfold increase in inquiries since Parkland," says Paul Marshall, an insurance broker for McGowan Program Administrators, an underwriter based in Ohio. "People just feel vulnerable when [a shooting] happens. And that's when we get phone calls, because it feels inevitable and very difficult to manage." Health Care McKinley, others work to obtain grant funding to fight opioid epidemic MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Almost $7 billion has been allocated to fighting the opioid epidemic across the nation, making it challenging for rural or sparsely populated areas to obtain grant funding for their respective programs. Public Employees Can New Perks Make Up for Smaller Pensions? In some state agencies in Arizona, it's Take Your Child to Work Day everyday. The state's Department of Health Services has long allowed mothers, fathers, foster parents and legal guardians to bring in babies under six months old. It's not uncommon there to see desktops next to infant carriers, and last year, the state expanded the Infant at Work program to more agencies. Broadband FCC grants Manchin waiver to challenge broadband maps WASHINGTON — The Federal Communications Commission adopted an order last week granting U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., the opportunity to participate in an effort to make sure broadband coverage maps of West Virginia are accurate. Manchin submitted a waiver on May 15 to participate in the Mobility Fund Phase II challenge process in order to make sure data collection records accurately showed coverage available to West Virginians.

Over $1 billion has been wiped off the value of Sirtex Medical shares after the companies clinical trial failed to show an improvement over for liver cancer therapy over the standard chemotherapy treatment.
The shares themselves had seen growth of 150 % in the last 12 months when it announced that it would begin trialling the new treatment.
As of Monday morning, their shares were trading at around $39 but as Tuesday approached they were seen as low as the $14 mark and recovered to above $17.30 around lunchtime. Around 2 o'clock they rose again to around $18.70 and then dropped again on closing at 4pm to $17.53.
This comes after last month UBS analyst Andrew Goodsall and Wilson HTM analyst Shane Storey upgraded investment recommendations to "buy" and gave 12 month target prices of around $50.00 for the stock.
Oncosil shares also dropped by 27.5% over the course of the day which is another company developing similar technology.

Karoon Gas Australia Limited (KAR) had a great day though rising over 14% to $2.60
Sirtex Medical was the worst performing on the ASX200 which was down 55% on closing at $17.53

In this region, Southern Windsor County invites a tour of its historic towns, starting perhaps with a visit to Windsor. On July 8, 1777, the constitution that forged the Republic of Vermont was signed here, giving this town its claim to be the "Birthplace of Vermont." The area also offers many recreation possibilities, plus visitor-friendly local events of all sorts such as community suppers, church bazaars, lawn concerts, craft and country fairs.
A concentration of the arts, scenic touring and recreation exists in the SoVermont area. From the Norman Rockwell Exhibit in Arlington to Manchester's Hunter Park, there are art objects that appeal to every taste. Backroad Discovery Tours out of Manchester Village promises roads yet to be mapped, secret waterfalls, panoramic vistas and old quarries. The largest public collection of Grandma Moses paintings and memorabilia can be viewed at the Bennington Museum.
Adventures for competitive as well as touring cyclists abound in Southern Vermont. The leg-motor set can look forward to rides along mountain creeks as well as village-to-village stints. Brattleboro became well-known as a 19th Century home of one of the first water-cure experiments in the country. Today visitors enjoy a water cure of a different sort on the nearby Connecticut River and its tributary the West River, aboard the cruise boat Belle of Brattleboro, other pleasure craft or by canoeing and skiing.

"A coach is someone who tells you what you don't want to hear, who has you see what you don't want to see, so you can be who you have always known you could be." – The Trillion Dollar Coach
The most important role any coach has is to put the team first. In youth sports, this is especially tough because most parents do not understand that. They have been looking out for their little one with blinders on so why or how can they see past the three-year-old who is now 16 and driving? My guiding principle is that the team is paramount and the most important thing I look for and expect in people is a "team-first" attitude!
What most good coaches understand is that it is their job to put the team first no matter what. Charles Darwin wrote in his book The Descent of Man: "A tribe including many members who, from possessing in a high degree the spirit of devotion, dependability, respect, courage, and kindness, were always ready to aid one another, and to sacrifice themselves for the common good, would be victorious over most other tribes; and this would be natural selection." This should be a mantra for all teams and all its stakeholders.
Teams are not successful unless every member, including parents, is loyal and will, when necessary, subjugate their personal agenda to that of the team.

Archaeology is most meaningful when it is collaborative and interdisciplinary. Conducting community-engaged research is an important part of how I work; my aim is to do archaeology in support of descendent community interests and priorities.
My research and scholarly work falls into three interconnected areas of interest, all focused on past and present hunter-gatherer peoples of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest: 1) study of human-environment interactions, including contemporary climate change, 2) hunter-gatherer cooking and food preparation technologies, and 3) applied archaeology. My work is informed by Indigenous archaeological theory, feminist theory, and ecological approaches to studying the past.
I work with a variety of partners across state, federal, Tribal and Alaska Native organizations (e.g. National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Native Village of Kotzebue, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde). I continue to work in both the field and lab to provide training experiences for students while engaging them in my research.
You may have seen posters in your community or seen a talk asking you to provide feedback on two of the projects I am working on in Northwest Alaska. Your thoughts are important to me, and I hope that these feedback forms are the start of new relationships, where your voice and your community are heard in my research. Follow the links below to read more about those projects, and have an easy way to contact me.

Harvey, Severino power Orioles to 4-3 win over Tigers
Jul 30, 2021, 7:12 AM | Updated: 7:28 pm
DETROIT (AP) — Matt Harvey extended his shutout streak to 18 1/3 innings, and Pedro Severino homered twice, leading the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
Harvey (6-10) allowed six hits in 6 1/3 innings without walking a batter. The right-hander struck out five and pitched a third straight scoreless start for the first time in his career.
Cole Sulser pitched the ninth for his fourth save.
Tarik Skubal (6-10) took the loss, giving up four runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. The left-hander struck out four and allowed three home runs for the second straight start.
Baltimore took a 1-0 lead when Pedro Severino hit the first pitch of the third inning into the second level of shrubs above the 420-foot sign in center field. Ryan Mountcastle made it 2-0 with a solo homer in the fourth.
Miguel Cabrera nearly hit his 498th career homer in the fifth, but had to settle for a double off the out-of-town scoreboard in right-center. Cabrera added a single in the seventh for his 2,941st career hit.
Severino's second homer — the 25th allowed by Skubal — put the Orioles ahead by three runs in the fifth, and Ramon Urias ended Skubal's night with an RBI single in the sixth.
Harvey left with two one and one out in the seventh, and Paul Fry retired the next two hitters to preserve his scoreless streak.
Detroit rallied with three runs in the eighth.
Derek Hill led off with a triple and scored Detroit's first run on Tanner Scott's wild pitch. Akil Baddoo beat out an infield single and Scott hit Jonathan Schoop before walking Robbie Grossman to bring up Cabrera with the bases loaded.
Dillon Tate replaced Scott, and gave up a long sacrifice fly to Cabrera, who received a standing ovation from the crowd.
Jeimer Candelario bounced into a force at second, but Tate walked Eric Haase on a wild pitch, allowing Schoop to score Detroit's third run and Grossman to take third.
Tate then retired Zack Short to escape the inning with a 4-3 lead.
The Tigers beat the trade deadline by sending LHP Daniel Norris to the Milwaukee Brewers for minor-league RHP Reese Olsen. The move came six years to the day after Norris was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays as part of the David Price trade. Detroit recalled LHP Ian Krol from Triple-A Toledo to take Norris' roster spot.
"The toughest part of this is seeing where this team is now, seeing it rise and how much fun it is to win here," Norris said. "That's one of the reasons I'm really sad about leaving."
The Tigers installed a pair of manual signs listing Cabrera's career hits and homers as he tries to join Albert Pujols as the only active players with 3,000 hits and 500 homers. He would be the seventh player to reach the milestone.
The teams continue their four-game series on Saturday, with Detroit rookie Matt Manning (2-3, 6.00) facing John Means (4-3, 2.94).

Marvel Studios delivers a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe with WandaVision. In this series, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) are two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives. But over time, they begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems.
Why did Marvel make a TV series? Is it easy to follow without watching the entire MCU? To help breakdown the series, we get some superhero assistance from SpreeNoel, a subject matter expert for all things Marvel. During our conversation, you'll also hear some 'super' input from some of the stars of the show: Elizabeth Olsen, Teyonah Parris, and Kat Dennings.
I give WandaVision a 9.5 out of 10. It definitely helps if you're familiar with their background, but, the flashback are plentiful and should provide enough backstory for you to keep up. The writing was beautiful, the amount of detail that went into the sitcoms was impressive, and the series will leave you with a laundry list of epic quotes to remember in life. You can listen above to my full review of the series, commentary from our special guest, and hear from a few of the women that make this series so special.
WandaVision is available now on Disney+. Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast on Anchor. You can also find us on Apple, Google, and Spotify, among others. You can follow our special guest SpreeNoel on Instagram.
WandaVision may be over, but Marvel has another series waiting for us in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier this Friday, March 19, 2021. WandaVision not only sets up the next Doctor Strange film perfectly, but sets the tone for Marvel TV series to come.

Geo-reference HRRR Images
Posted By: Tim Moran
Date: 5-January-23 0312Z
I would like to accurately place images from HRRR into Google Earth or GIS applications. Can anyone provide me with the projection information for the HRRR images, so that I can do this? In particular I am interested in the regions Wash-Balt-Phil and NE. Right now, I am downloading these images in PNG format, which does not contain any geographic information. Are these images also available in a geo-referenced file format?

Why won't the fascination about Steve Jobs end? It's because he appeared to be someone who could see into the future as to what will be most important to people and we are in dire need of individuals who can do that. He was also the creative force behind Apple and that is a company that everyone wants to emulate.
Watch the videos below to discover his secret and what you must be able to do if you want to be highly successful.
What Jobs was able to do and so must you are:
- 1. Identify something that masses of people will need, want and have to have or be able to do that isn't going to go away
- 2. Have it be something that causes customers intense pain, frustration, exasperation or even fear
- 3. Have it be something that all of your competitors have poor solutions for
- 4. Have a solution that is so much better that it not only causes customers and clients to need and want it, it causes them to "gotta have it." And when you create that, you don't have to sell or persuade anyone to buy it. You just take sales orders.

The Glory of God
And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord. 1 Kings 8.10-11
The glory of God can only be poured out after man has been removed.
God created everything in six days. And everything was perfect.
Many have been coming to the Church for 1, 2, 3, 10 years and have even received some miracles, but their life has not truly changed.
There is nothing extraordinary in their life with God. Why is that?
This is because man has not been removed yet; therefore his will is what prevails. God cannot pour out His glory because the inner man has not been removed yet. Like Paul says in Galatians 2.20: ...it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
A person must empty himself or herself out, so that God can be in control. Everyone who did this was victorious and witnessed the extraordinary.
Abraham let God be in control and witnessed the extraordinary.
Gideon let God be in control and witnessed the extraordinary.
Moses let God be in control, freed millions from slavery in Egypt and witnessed the extraordinary.
Mr. Claudio, a former beggar, let God be in control and witnessed the extraordinary.
Little Esther died, but her mother went to the Altar and the extraordinary happened.
Mr. Darcy lived on the streets for 40 years, but when he received the envelope for the Israel Challenge – even without understanding anything about it – he let God be in control and now has an extraordinary life.
Bishop Macedo let God be in control and here we have an Extraordinary Temple.
What is easier for God: having to do create the whole world again (sun, stars, the whole Universe) or change someone's life? The answer is: create the world again. Why is that? Because of free will. The sun does not say that it wants to shine more or less, it just lets God be in control.
God can only change the lives of those who surrender themselves completely to Him. It's fast when one someone surrenders their all, places everything on the Altar, sacrifices and lets the Lord Jesus take control of everything. They certainly will be victorious!
The sacrifice was on the Altar, the priests came out and the Glory of God filled the Temple.
A person may want a mansion, a fancy car, a beautiful and wonderful family, etc. But the question is: Have you surrendered yourself completely so that the Glory of God can fill your life?

Find yourself in need of a family custody lawyer? You need to find one quickly, but this is far too important to just hire the first one you see. You need someone who will help you every step of the way. Here are some suggestions we've gathered to help you find the lawyer that's right for you and your situation.
You could have two major resources at your disposal when you begin your search for the family custody lawyer. One is the amazing ability of social media networking sites to whip up a storm and help you find many contacts online. The other is the contact that you may already have among your acquaintances. Find out if there are any lawyers among them and research despite all the recommendation to be amply sure.
Are you aware of whether or not your family custody lawyer receives any type of performance bonus? Does such a bonus affect the way in which they treat their individual clients. If a lawyer's treatment of his or her clients is influenced by getting or missing out on a bonus, you should wonder whether or not you are receiving the quality of service you disserve.
The internet holds plenty of information on family custody attorneys, including their credentials, tests scores, client reviews, and contact information. Use all of this to your advantage if you are in need of legal help. Don't let it go to waste if you have a court date coming up, but no attorney to help represent you. Research today and find someone who will be guaranteed to win your case.
Communication is important and good family custody lawyers will know this. Therefore, they will share their thoughts regarding your particular situation, as well as the reasoning behind these thoughts. Ideally, a client will never leave a lawyer's office confused.
The great thing is it's easy to discover a family custody attorney along as he/she is just a few miles away. Not very likely you have the very best attorney in the world, you need one that will prove him/her personally to you to allow them to get the job done. Call up several family custody lawyers, make certain everyone appreciates what your case is about.
Bear in mind that fees charged by good family custody lawyers are pretty steep. Search on Google to find one who gives some free advice and information before the actual hiring. There is even a chance that you might land a lawyer who might offer his services for free. Do your research thoroughly before hiring a lawyer.
If you find a family custody lawyer that doesn't seem flawless but he is able to prove that he can get the job done that's great. Especially, if your lawyer is willing to show he cares about your situation and wants to make sure you get the best possible outcome. You want to be able to trust your lawyer. These actions show that he is concerned and willing to go above and beyond for you.
Simply find any popular search engine and search for kenton county child support if you need more useful ideas about child support attorney.

Quebec passes law to regulate Uber
Bill 100 passed with 57 votes for it, 41 against it
The province's controversial taxi bill, which would regulate ride-hailing services such as Uber, passed after the Liberal government forced the legislation to a vote, as the last day of the National Assembly session turned into a marathon.
- Quebec government strikes deal to allow Uber to keep operating
- 'Why are they stalling?' Taxi drivers question new Uber deal
Initially, all sides, including the taxi industry, wanted Bill 100 passed.
The government thought it had reached consensus with all parties on an amendment that would allow Uber 90 days to come up with a pilot project before the law comes into effect.
But today, Québec Solidaire retracted their consent because the party believes the amendment is too vague and would create two classes of taxi drivers.
They believe that is unfair to taxi drivers who hold permits which can cost up to $200,000.
Once Québec Solidaire retracted its consent, the Liberal government said it was forced to invoke a "closure" motion, cutting off debate and forcing the bill to a vote, which passed because the Liberals have a majority.
The opposition accused the government of using an undemocratic tactic.
The new law will require "remunerated passenger transportation services," including UberX, to buy a taxi permit or face stiff fines.
Anyone offering taxi transportation services without holding a permit would face fines of $2,500 to $25,000. The company could be fined up to $50,000.
.@quebecsolidaire not supporting #uber amendment. So if the taxi bill is to pass - govt would bar to invoke closure ("baillon") #polqc—@ryhicks
.@FrancoiseDavid says it's bc the govt would not accept their amendments #polqc #assnat—@ryhicks
The Coalition Avenir Québec, for its part, has argued that the legislation will ultimately hurt consumers in Quebec by limiting their options if it results in Uber being forced out of the province.
CAQ's resistance sparked a protest of its own earlier this week by up to 1,000 taxi drivers in Montreal.
Taxi drivers have always maintained it's unfair that UberX doesn't follow the same rules they do.

Korea Tourism Organization, New Delhi office is the tourism arm of the Republic of Korea under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and is mainly responsible for tourism promotion activities in India and neighboring SAARC countries. The event was an attempt to bridge the gap between the two countries and provided an immersive platform for the guests to soak in the K-experience . The event was hosted at the innisfree store, Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj.
The entire event was curated and planned keeping South Korea and Korean culture in mind with fun activities and quizzes to enthrall the media, influencers, and customers. The highlight of the event was a a chance to "Fly to Korea" on purchase of INR 2500 and above from the innsifree store.
The event was divided into four zones K-Culture, K-Drama, K-Beauty, and K-Pop Challenge. The Korean Beauty and experience zone provided the guests with the best of K-Beauty.

It also hosted fun Korean quizzes and two beauty Masterclasses with AmorePacific Beauty Experts, and Manveen Kaur, MUA and Beauty Creator.

Twelve Mirage 2000 jets from Indian side ran amok in Balakot, Pakistan and blew away Jaish-e-Muhammed terror launchpads at around 3:30 am early on 26th February, 2019. It was a surprise airstrike to avenge the recent terror attack on the Indian military vehicle in Pulwama district of Kashmir that reverberated the valley.
Revenge was paramount when a misdemeanour from Pakistan shook the entire nation. The Modi government is being hailed for being such fearsome and prompt in their action. The fighter jets successfully destroyed terrorist camps in Balakot in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Muzzaffarabad, Chakothi.
Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale revealed that Indian Airforce crossed the line of control based on the information furnished by Indian Intelligence. He claimed that the biggest terror launch camp of Jaish-e-Muhammed was reduced to ashes by the airstrike.
According to the credible sources, Jaish-e-Muhammed was gearing up to conduct suicide attacks in others corners of the nation. The Fidayen terrorists were undergoing training to execute the attacks. This prompted the Indian Army to sit up in alarm and bring them to task as soon as possible. Indian Airforce targeted the biggest terror camp of Jaish-e-Muhammed in the attack and they successfully destroyed it. Further, the claims are made from the Indian side that in the attack, the extremists, trainers, the senior commanders and those undergoing training in the camps were killed. Remarkably, the head of the camp, Maulana Yousuf Azhar aka Ustad Gaudi who is a kin to Jaish-e-Muhammed chief Masood Azhar was killed in the attack too.
The sources claimed that no civilians have been killed in the attack as Indian Airforce approached cautiously. The camp was located in the deep forest bracketed by mountains, far from the civilian habitats. Jaish-e-Muhammed, the terror outfit in Pakistan orchestrated many attacks in India last year under the guidance of chief Masood Azhar which includes the attacks in Indian Parliament and Pathankot. The sources revealed that the makeshift terrorist training camps are operative in the Pak occupied Kashmir. India has unalterable evidence about the existence of these camps even though Pakistan refutes the claims brazenly. However, India claims that this is impossible for the Pakistani government not have knowledge about them when thousands of terrorists are being trained in these camps everyday.
Pakistan was given the taste of their own medicine with this surprise airstrike by India which eliminated large number of terrorists. The aircraft dropped 1,000 kg laser guided bombs on terror training camps, completely annihilating them.

Authorship of Academic Papers
Every departmental coffee machine has probably already witnessed heated discussions on the subject of authorship. Indeed, there are no generally accepted standards for assigning authorship. McNutt and her coauthors (2018) define authorship as follows: "Each author is expected to have made substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data; or the creation of new software used in the work; or have drafted the work or substantively revised it; AND to have approved the submitted version (and any substantially modified version that involves the author's contribution to the study); AND to have agreed both to be personally accountable for the author's own contributions and to ensure that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work, even ones in which the author was not personally involved, are appropriately investigated, resolved, and the resolution documented in the literature." One thing should be said clearly: Providing a few comments on a text certainly does not constitute "substantial contributions" and, thus, authorship – even if you are a supervisor.

To The 'Auntie' Who Keeps Showing up
I write a lot about being a stepmom and the dynamics that role brings. But there is another role out there that certainly doesn't get acknowledged enough — especially when so often a huge amount of effort is being put into it.
Being an aunt who shows up.
Being an aunt may be a role you merely shrug off if you're not very involved in your niece or nephew's lives. However, there are so many involved aunts out there who really do give it their all.
And I want to dedicate this to them.
To the aunt who always remembers a birthday or a special event. To the aunt who stays super involved when she doesn't have to. To the aunt who babysits. To the aunt who is like a second mom. To the aunt who is like a big sister.
I salute you.
To the aunt who may not want her own children yet or maybe can't have children but still adores dedicating her time to her nieces or nephews.
To the aunt who already has her own children yet still seems to find the time to make room for her nieces or nephews.
You are an inspiration.
To the aunt who is always there to add an extra helping hand, extra emotional support, and extra guidance as a teacher and a friend.
To the aunt who always makes time during a hectic schedule, a busy career, or a demanding job.
You really are the best.
To the aunt whom a child can go to when perhaps they cannot talk to mom or dad. To the aunt who listens. To the aunt who offers advice. To the aunt who cares with all of her soul.
To the aunt who takes her niece or nephew back to school shopping or on a surprise movie date. To the aunt who goes on cool road trips or walks through the forest. To the aunt who loves to bake delicious things.
You are so very much appreciated.
To the aunt who you can turn to. To the aunt who offers comfort. To the aunt who teaches kindness. To the aunt who makes you smile.
There are so many things about having an incredible aunt that quite often gets overlooked. We sometimes forget that these women are just as important as those of us who are mothering. They are treasures we should value. They are pure gold.
