via Corruption begins with parliamentarians, top government officials: Chinotimba | The Zimbabwean by Nelson Sibanda 24.09.13
Corruption in Zimbabwe begins with top government officials and parliamentarians, said Zanu (PF) Member of Parliament for Buhera South, Joseph Chinotimba.
In his contribution to parliamentary debate today, Chinotimba said the majority of Zimbabweans continued to suffer economic hardships as a result of corruption at the highest levels of government.
He called on legislators and responsible arms of government to implement calls by President Robert Mugabe, to stamp out corruption from Zimbabwe in all its forms.
"There is no reason why Mugabe's resolutions should fail to see the light of the day," Chinotimba said.
The self-styled war veteran cum legislator urged government to allocate emergency funds to the Grain Marketing Board and Ministry of Agriculture to purchase relief food for starving people.
Speaking in vernacular (Shona), Chinotimba said given the famine which was taking its toll on some people, the funds should be distributed without parliamentary intervention.
"Hyenas have invaded my constituency attacking villagers because of scarcity of food," said Chinotimba.
Government was urged to expedite distribution of agriculture inputs 'since failure to do so before end of this month would spell disaster to the 2013-2014 farming season'.
He described food shortages in Buhera South as serious. Chinotimba urged parliamentarians to perform and deliver as expected 'not just coming to warm seats in the August House'.
The Zimbabwe National Roads Authority was challenged to spread its highway infrastructure upgrading activities to rural gravel roads.
Contributing to the debate, Member of Parliament for Bikita West, Karikoga Kereke, said the Constituency Development Fund should not be regarded as a token since it was the quickest and most significant intervention vehicle to development.
"Parliament should therefore set rules and framework for a transparent administration of the funds," Kereke told the National Assembly.
On farming, Kereke said the agriculture sector cannot be revived without direct government support.
He said promises made by President Mugabe to the agriculture sector should be implemented timeously, since Zimbabwe was already in the farming season with no inputs in sight.
Kereke said for Mugabe's proposed economic revival road map to be successful, corruption should be fought both at individual and institutional levels.
He called for collaborated effort between the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Unit and police, to eliminate corruption which has turned cancerous.
Several Zanu (PF) legislators who contributed to the debate showered praises and congratulatory messages on President Mugabe following his landslide election victory.
They described the Mugabe and Zanu (PF) harmonised election victories as triumph for SADC, Africa and all agents of democracy.
Today's parliamentary session was aimed at debating President Robert Mugabe's speech made at the opening of the house on September 17.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — With minty mojitos and flank steak served Mexican-style, friends and family of the Lobo Loco staff and ownership celebrated their kitchen's first run for a crowd. The 300-seat cantina-concept by the Abitino Group is officially open in New Springville at 280 Marsh Avenue. It is located at the Staten Island Mall's Crossings.
Lobo Loco comes to The Crossings in the space formerly occupied by TGI Friday's, closed in the summer of 2019. Some of the current digs are reminiscent of its prior iteration.
Furniture and the bar are the same although chairs have been refurbished and painted red. Artisan workers sanded down the bar and painted it black. Alternating glass windows separating the bar from a dining area have been covered to make opaque panels.
One notable Friday's holdover is the illuminated "kitchen" sign which has been repainted and enhanced with LED lights.
Poor Rupert designed a riotously colored mural, decoration in the midst of alaveras de azúcar aka decorative Mexican skulls.
The new "crazy wolf" project is over three years in the works, said Mario Abitino. Plans for the business were dropped early in the pandemic but Mall reps revisited the matter with the Abitino family and they came to terms with a lease on the 8,700 square-foot space.
Hours will be 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily except Friday and Saturday when the kitchen and bar serve until 2 a.m. Entertainment is in the works. Dawn Michaels will sing on Thanksgiving Eve. She will return on Dec. 8 for karaoke. Drag queen Luscious Lola will perform on Saturday, Dec. 9 with a time to be announced.
Hours of Lobo Loco will be 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday the restaurant is open until 2 a.m. It features two areas that can be cordoned off for private parties.
This will be the second Lobo Loco concept for the borough with the inaugural spot The Boulevard complex of New Dorp at 2656 Hylan Blvd. The flagship location is at 8530 Third Ave., Bay Ridge.
The Abitino's also own O'Sfizio at 4651 Hylan Blvd., Annadale; Osfizio.com. The South Shore eatery takes its name from the word "craving" or "whim" in Italian.
Lobo Loco can be found at 280 Marsh Ave., New Springville; 718-494-6000, Lobolocony.com at the Mall's "Crossings," a collection of sit-down eateries that includes Outback Steakhouse and Angelina's Kitchen.
Pamela Silvestri is Advance Food Editor. She can be reached at [email protected].

By Elyssa Dziwak | February 4, 2019
Transparency, anonymity and respecting others are the golden rules that public relations professionals like to emphasize when dealing with social media ethics. It's very easy to get carried away and stretch the truth, or flat out lie, but like all things in life there are consequences to unethical behavior.
To really understand social media ethics, it's important to understand what the term "ethics" actually means. Countless definitions exist, but the Oxford Dictionary defines it as "moral principles that govern a person's behavior or the conducting of an activity." How might this apply to social media? Well, a person's behavior (and sometimes their morals) are consistently displayed on social media. Since social media is designed for users to voluntarily share their thoughts, feelings and personal lives to their followers, it's difficult to find a case where some form of ethical conduct is not present.
According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), the ASHA Code of Ethics (2016) states that under some circumstances, inappropriate use of social media could lead to an ethical violation under this code. This code is not considered a civility code, but rather a guideline for professionals in support of day-to-day decision-making related to professional conduct. So, although this code may not be "official" in the sense of being written into law, it does provide legitimate precautionary advice that could result in avoiding legal misuse/mistakes. Two important professional proscriptions that are written into this code are: breach of confidentiality and avoiding misrepresentation.
Breaching confidentiality is not only unprofessional but, in the case of a business, it can damage an organization's overall image. Posting personal details about a client, employee or anyone else online, no matter how seemingly insignificant, could result in legal ramifications and should be avoided, not only for legal reasons but because it is breaking an ethical obligation.
Avoiding misrepresentation, specifically in the promotion of services or products and listing of credentials, can be very tricky since some violate this code unintentionally. ASHA gives a great example of this: say "an audiologist in a metropolitan area ear, nose, and throat (ENT) practice promotes his practice by posting [on social media], 'Highest qualified practitioner in the area!' This post violates the code because no basis exists for the statement and it is misleading to the public." Although this audiologist was simply trying to promote his practice by posting about it, he broke the code of ethics by making a suggestion which has no proof, and is therefore misleading and unethical.
Determining what is ethical and what isn't can be really difficult, especially since not everyone always agrees on what is and isn't ethical. A good ethical (and life) suggestion to consider, is that if you wouldn't feel comfortable saying it to a person's face, then it's probably best not to post it.

Homeowners and business owners have options when it comes to installing Infloor Heating Systems. Experienced contractors can take care of the entire process, working with us directly to ensure the system is optimally installed and operational. However, some ambitions homeowners enjoy taking on the challenge themselves, for which we also provide support and guidance. Whether you are a DIY-er or experienced contractor, when it comes to installing a radiant heating system, there are important rules to the installation process, considered the "golden rules," to live by for the best results and outcome.
Why Does Infloor Radiant Heating Feel So Comfortable?
Have you wondered why radiant heating systems are touted as being "more comfortable" than other heating methods? Do you have floors that feel cold to the touch? Do you feel drafts of warm and cold air in your home? There may be more to your comfort than you may think.
Infloor Stainless Steel Manifold a Featured Product in Contracting Business Magazine
We are thrilled to see our new product, Infloor Stainless Steel Manifolds, featured among other great products in Contracting Business Magazine. Infloor pre-assembled Stainless Steel manifolds are used to distribute heat-transfer fluid throughout a hydronic radiant heating system. They can be used in traditional radiator systems, and innovative under-floor radiant systems. Made of stainless steel, they are particularly suitable for heating systems, allowing all of the project parameters to be controlled, providing the perfect balance of each outlet. This avoids any unnecessary waste and ensures an elevated level of thermal comfort.
The All-In-One Zoning and Temperature Control Solution
Infloor radiant heating systems are not only the most comfortable heating systems available, but are also the smartest. We can design a heating system that is intuitive, eco-friendly, and responsive to your individual heating needs. We are thrilled to have added the tekmar Zone Valve Control Box 304V and 306V to our product offerings, giving you more from your zone control solution. Live more comfortably while reducing your heating costs and carbon footprint with integrated RoomResponse™ technology, which satisfies heating needs directly at the source. And you now have the option to adjust the boiler temperature based on feedback from… READ MORE
Must-Have Elements for Building a Sustainable New Home
When someone builds a home for you, you have the opportunity to make it as sustainable, eco-friendly and energy-efficient as possible. Not only are sustainable homes more cost-effective over the long term, they have a smaller environmental impact, and can be more appealing to home-buyers when you're ready to sell and move. In fact, more than half of Realtors report consumers are interested in sustainability, according to the National Association of Realtors' REALTORS and Sustainability report. What's more, 70 percent say a home's efficient use of energy is important to potential buyers.
Breathe Easier: Ways to Improve your Home's Indoor Air Quality
Help children avoid asthma attacks by improving home indoor air quality. More than 6 million American children – nearly 9 percent of all kids in the U.S. – have asthma, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Each year, asthma attacks send more than a million people to emergency rooms, including approximately 24,000 children younger than 15, the CDC reports. Yet health experts agree many of those asthma attacks could be avoided through a range of tactics, including by improving air quality inside homes.
Radiant Heat Provides Poolside Comfort for Students
In-floor radiant heating boasts versatility and design freedom unlike forced air heating. Any flooring surface can be heated by radiant, providing invisible comfort virtually anywhere, including outdoor areas and poolside.

Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
The Afaraukwu-Ibeku community in Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia has demanded the whereabouts of Eze Israel Kanu from the community in the aftermath of the 2017 "Operation Python Dance II" in Abia.
The community had declared Kanu missing after the alleged attack on his palace in September 2017.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Kanu is the traditional ruler of Afaraukwu Autonomous Community and father of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Addressing newsmen in Umuahia on Wednesday, Chief Emeka Ezebuiro, the President General of Afaraukuwu Ibeku Development Union, said that the community was still at a loss over the disappearance of their royal father.

Ezebuiro said that the community had been passing through psychological trauma since the monarch got missing.
In a statement jointly signed by the president-general along with the traditional rulers of Okwulaga and Enyiukwu Autonomous Communities, Eze Eddy Ibeabuchi and Eze Philip Ukaegbu, respectively, the community called for the immediate release of the missing traditional ruler.
The community further distanced itself from the newspaper publication alleging that Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu "was playing politics with the plight of our traditional ruler."
It absolved the governor of complicity over the continued disappearance of the octogenarian monarch.

It said that Ikpeazu had at different meetings with the community leaders promised to engage other South-East governors to facilitate the return of the traditional ruler.
The president-general said that the governor had openly resisted alleged pressure to dethrone Kanu on the grounds that the monarch did not commit any offence against the laws of the land.
"We wish to state that our people have never accused Ikpeazu of being the mastermind of the attack on our community.
"We were privy to the efforts he made to stave off the attack as well as his exemplary post-crisis management efforts.
"We, therefore, wish to call on politicians and their hirelings to desist from meddling in our matter for cheap political gains," the community said.

And they are super nice and easy to work with. I HIGHLY recommend you work with them.
Matthew Crowder, Supplement Services
Design for Products and E-Commerce is a different animal. Just hiring a designer is not enough. There are regulations, gotchas and a ton of specialized knowledge needed for compliance and conversions into sales. Amber's team has mastered them all and provides a seamless process to get my clients products on line and for sale in a minimum amount of time.
Dana VanBrocklin, NutralinkUSA
I have used Amber and her team at Wildcraft Designs for some time now and wouldn't use anyone else for all my graphic design needs. They are always prompt and professional. Amber has that rare natural intuition to fill in the blanks and provide the right creative concepts for my business and my customers. I highly recommend to anyone.
David Podgurski, Brand Owner
Wildcraft Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only do they do fantastic design work but they were also very responsive, attentive, and helpful in every step of the creative process. After such a great experience I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Amber!
Jacob Smithers, Brand Co-Owner
Wildcraft Designs creates absolutely phenomenal product labels! I co-own a dietary supplement company and have utilized many designers in the past BUT NONE have come close to the caliber of Amber and her team. One of the biggest strengths I find with this company (aside from design) is their knowledge of their clients markets. For example, in my market there are many FDA guidelines to adhere to in labeling, their team has helped my products be compliant for manufacturing. This is an A-to-Z design company they are not only able to create your design like freelancers off the internet, but also have made strategic partners to put your label into production at speeds people in my industry dream for! We look forward to growing our business relationship with such an amazing company! Keep up the great work!
Nicholas Shucet, Romans Tide
Wildcraft Designs is always a pleasure to work with. They are always able to deliver amazing results each and every time. They go above and beyond on every single project I have used them on. Highly recommended.
Lee Anne Stewart Dance School
Wildcraft Designs create artistic, eye-catching images that reach the target audience and make a lasting impact. They have outstanding, friendly service. It has become the only design company I use for performance and studio marketing.

As with a lot of business, gambling has become globalised. Australian investors and governments over history have courted high rollers – VIP clients ready to spend very large amounts of money on the gaming tables of luxury casinos. From being the bogeyman of Australian racial imagination in the late 19th century, the Chinese gambler became the hope of the Australian investor in the early 21st.
The arrest of 18 Crown employees in China is a reminder that the risks associated with this industry are not only taken by the high rollers at their VIP tables.
The Chinese VIP
A decade ago researchers on Chinese gambling in the Asia Pacific noted that outbound tourists from China were headed mainly to Las Vegas or Australia. But ageing Australian facilities were already facing increasing competition, not only domestically, but from new challengers in Asia.
Over the following decade Macau became a premier destination in terms of gambling visitor numbers as well as revenue - at its height in 2014 the revenue was reported to be more than seven times that of Las Vegas.
In that year Macau received at least 28 million visitors and upgraded its border management processes to accommodate a daily flow of approximately 500,000 visitors. But as the Chinese government began to crack down on corruption and money laundering, the fortunes even of the Macau casinos have slowed.
Participants in that great Australian past-time, tracking the fate and fortunes of the Packer family, know of some of these recent changes. James Packer's publicly listed company, Crown, some time ago embarked on a mission to create Sydney as a destination of choice for Chinese high rollers. He was competing with other major Pacific rim gambling enterprises in Singapore, the Philippines and of course Las Vegas, as well as Macau and Hong Kong.
Crown has recognised the Chinese VIP customer wants a six star resort hotel. So building one on Australia's best harbour and beside the iconic bridge is Crown's aim. The Barangaroo complex, a mix of residential and casino offerings, remembers in its name a powerful female Aboriginal woman, a wife of Bennelong.
Neither Crown nor Sydney play in this field alone of course. Indeed Crown's ambition flows in part from its success in Melbourne where it boasts of being Victoria's largest single site private sector employer. This is an astonishing testament to the changes that have taken place in the economy and labour market in Australia since the 1980s.
High rollers are not the only Chinese visitors to spend money gambling in Australia. A survey from Tourism Australia suggests Chinese visitors who come here to gamble spend much more doing so than visitors from anywhere else – although the volume of their spending does not yet exceed the vast pool of international student income that funds our universities.
Changing attitude to the Chinese gambler
No mention is made on Crown's Barangaroo website of an earlier history of Chinese gambling on the other side of the Miller's Point Peninsula in Sydney. But more than a century ago a Royal Commission in NSW investigated alleged Chinese gambling and immorality and associated bribery of police in the Rocks and surrounds.
Witnesses testified to a very active Chinese gambling industry, operated through street-front shops which sold the tickets for pak-ah-pu (a kind of lottery) and in back rooms where fan-tan (a Chinese gambling game) was played and large amounts of money appeared to change hands.
Evidence suggested that some of the gaming delivered money into the hands of the fraternal associations that helped Chinese living in Australia. These associations arranged funeral services, returning bones to China, and supported the surviving family members.
Gambling revenue also funded the often successful legal defence of those prosecuted by colonial police. One of them was successful on appeal to the NSW Supreme Court in 1881 against a gaming conviction for running a game of pak-ah-pu.
As a story of colonial Australia, the prosecution of Chinese gamblers may be something of a picture of the experience of Chinese more generally at that time. It was a symptom of sometimes aggressive policing, but equally a means of provoking an assertion of legal rights in the face of that policing.
Through such legal actions Chinese gamblers asserted their entitlements, and their capacity to gather resources, financial and personal and community, in their own defence.
The return of the Chinese gambler
In October 2013 James Packer joined champion tennis player Li Na in Beijing to announce the renewal of his company's sponsorship of her tennis venture. It was another gamble that paid off handsomely when Li Na won the Australian Open just a few months later.
This relationship was not just a sporting moment, but a passage in Chinese-Australian relations. In Beijing, Packer welcomed the accolade accorded his enterprise in the Gillard government's White Paper on "Australia in the Asian Century". Crown had been singled out for its vision:
"The tourism industry needs to develop culturally relevant products to capitalise on growing Asian interest in Australia as a tourist destination. This will mean developing sophisticated luxury urban tourism opportunities, such as those offered by Crown Limited, as well as showcasing Australia's outstanding natural beauty."
Contemporary Australian governments and leading companies are increasingly courting Chinese gamblers – they do so in an increasingly competitive global gambling environment. Crown's case reminds us this is not without risks.

By Dustin Rowles | News | April 20, 2020 |
By Dustin Rowles | News | April 20, 2020 |
Good morning. It's Monday, April 20th. It is the birthday of Luther Vandross. It has been one month and nine days since Tom-and-Rita Day, and since then, we have learned from Tom Hanks that the virus was difficult for him, but far more difficult for his wife Rita, who "was so nauseous, she had to crawl on the floor from the bed to the facilities."
Meanwhile, what we are increasingly learning is that, while Tom and Rita's experiences are not atypical, and while this virus is very dangerous to certain people, particularly older folks and those with underlying conditions, we are also discovering that many more people than what we may have initially thought are not experiencing symptoms at all. This is both a blessing and a curse.
There's a flood of new data coming out that confirms what we learned early on from testing on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, namely that a large number of people who test positive are asymptomatic. Many of those people later develop symptoms, but many of those people never do. Here's what we have learned in the last week or so:
— In a Boston homeless shelter, 397 people were tested and 146 came up positive. None of them were experiencing symptoms.
— Likewise, a small serological/antibody study conducted in Chelsea, Massachusetts — a hot spot — showed that 30 percent of a random sampling of 200 people had developed antibodies, meaning 30 percent had the virus without knowing it (and because of the nature of the random study, even those who tested positive for antibodies were not told).
— On the USS Theodore, where there was obviously a huge outbreak. About 60 percent of those who tested positive were not symptomatic (so far). 585 of 3,8000 on the ship tested positive. There's been one death.
— In a New York hospital, all the pregnant women brought in to deliver babies were tested. Fourteen percent tested positive, and of the 33 who tested positive, 29 had no symptoms (though some developed them later).
— In a Little Rock prison, one inmate tested positive for the virus. Everyone in his barracks was also tested. Forty-four out of 47 tested positive but were all asymptomatic.
— A much bigger antibody study was carried out in Santa Clara County in California, where 3,300 people were tested for antibodies. That study showed that from 1.5 to 2.8 percent tested positive, which translates to roughly 48,000 to 81,000 cases in a county where only 1,000 positive cases had been reported. In other words, there are about 50 times more cases than reported (this study has not yet been peer-reviewed).
A similar study out of Los Angeles County is expected to report results as early as this week.
What does all of this mean? The good news is that, if we continue to see the same percentage of unreported/asymptomatic cases, it will show that the fatality rate is much, much lower than previously believed. To wit, based on the Santa Clara study:
Given the study's estimate of 48,000 to 81,000 infections in early April - and a three-week lag from infection to death - the 100 deaths suggest that the infection fatality rate is between 0.12% and 0.2%.
That's a far contrast from the county's mortality rate based on official cases and deaths as of April 17 — 3.9%.
Meanwhile, the head of the CDC believes around 25 percent of infected people might not have symptoms, while that rate may be as high as 60 to 70 percent among a younger, healthier overall population of military personnel, according to the vice-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. John Hyten.
In other words, if these studies continue to show the same thing, it means that a lot of people get it and don't know it and the virus is much less lethal than previously believed. The flipside, however, is that all of these asymptomatic people are still spreading the virus, which will make it very difficult to contain the virus in the long term.

The Mondial 250 GP was a unique piece of performance kit. Motorcycle manufacturer FB Mondial was run on a shoestring, compared with some of its more mainstream rivals. They included MV Agusta and Ducati. But it had entrepreneurial spirit by the bucketload. Bespoke to the core, its products were masterpieces of creative engineering. Founded in '29 – by five Boselli brothers – Mondial Moto was based in Lombardy, Italy. Bike racing was in its blood!
Though small, the Mondial race team was a serious player. After all, the great Mike Hailwood successfully campaigned Mondial 250s – in '59 and '60. A decade or so before that, Mondial machines won the first three 125cc World Championships. The opener was in '49. In '57, Mondial won both 125 and 250cc GP series. So, no slouches, for a relatively underfunded équipe!
Such motorsport feats, of course, do not come cheap. Ultimately, Mondial were unable to sell enough roadsters to foot the competition bill. Sadly, therefore, they were forced to retire early from racing. Mondial, as was, ceased trading in '79. Since then, they have enjoyed something of a renaissance – and, indeed, are back in business at this point. And their classic bikes – resplendent in silver and blue livery – still circulate around racetracks. After all, the Mondial 250 GP harks back to a time when beauty was built to last!

Google has pulled popular video app TikTok from the Play Store in India following a local court's direction, stoking fear among some activists that this could set a dangerous precedent. Apple, which has also been ordered by the government to pull the app from its app store (App Store), plans to comply with the order later this week, a person familiar with the matter said. Google and Apple declined to comment. TikTok, which has amassed over 120 million monthly active users in India, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
TikTok, operated by Chinese conglomerate Bytedance, has come under hot water in India in recent weeks after some users complained about inappropriate content, including pornography, on the video service. A high court in Southern state of Tamil Nadu urged the central government to ban the download of TikTok in India earlier this month, alleging that TikTok "encouraged pornography" and risked spoiling the "future of the youngsters and mindset of the children."
Bytedance challenged the state court's order in India's apex Supreme Court last week, asserting that such a move would undermine freedom of speech in the nation. The Supreme Court referred the case back to the state court on Tuesday, thereby rejecting Bytedance's appeal to call off the ban.
AI Unleashed
An exclusive invite-only evening of insights and networking, designed for senior enterprise executives overseeing data stacks and strategies.
The government sent a notice to Google and Apple earlier today to pull the app from their respective app stores, preventing any more downloads, as first reported by The Economic Times. Google's Android mobile operating system runs on more than 95% of smartphones in India, according to estimates from research firm Counterpoint.
Notably, users who already have TikTok app installed on their Android smartphone can continue to use the service.
In a statement earlier today, a TikTok spokesperson told VentureBeat that the video service had "faith in the Indian judicial system and we are optimistic about an outcome that would be well received by over 120 million monthly active users in India, who continue using TikTok to showcase their creativity and capture moments that matter in their everyday lives."
In the meantime, the state court (Madras High Court) has appointed Arvind Datar as an independent counsel to look into further proceedings. The next hearing will be on April 22, where Bytedance will likely try to make a case for why the ban should be withdrawn.
At an event in New Delhi earlier this year, weeks before the app landed itself in trouble in India, TikTok representatives told VentureBeat that the company was growing its content moderation team in India and training its machine learning algorithms to weed out questionable content in several local Indian languages. When asked how many moderators the company had in India, representatives declined to share a specific number.
The Indian court's step today underscores a growing sense of accountability that the Indian government expects of social media. In December last year, the Indian government proposed that any "intermediary" that had more than 5 million users in India to set up a local office, and appoint local leaders who would be deemed responsible for any trouble their platforms incurs in the nation.
Such a move would significantly limit, or even end, the so-called safe harbor laws in India that technology companies have long enjoyed. Some critics likened the proposal to censorship in China.
Commenting on today's move, Salman Waris, a technology lawyer at TechLegis Advocates & Solicitors, told Reuters that the legal action against Bytedance could "set a precedent of Indian courts intervening to regulate content on social media and other digital platforms."
Update at 8 p.m. Pacific: Apple has also pulled TikTok app from the App Store in India.

District 742 Releases 2018 Climate Survey
ST. CLOUD -- The latest climate survey for how parents, students and staff feel about how things are going in District 742 is out.
The survey gauges how people in the district feel about three main categories. The categories are engagement, environment and safety.
The engagement category shows how staff, students and parents feel things like communication, how well teachers support students and how different cultures in the schools interact.
Environment covered areas like how teachers engage students in learning, how well families supported their students and how staff treated students.
Finally, safety covered things like bullying, and how receptive teachers and staff are to ensuring kids have a safe learning environment.
Overall, the district found that safety was the highest rated category among staff, but the lowest rated by parents and students. Engagement was the highest rated category for parents. Environment was the highest rated category for students, but lowest for staff.
The climate survey also took a look at the demographics of the district.

WASHINGTON ― Former Secretary of State Colin Powell advised her to "be very careful" in using a BlackBerry for email while at the State Department, Hillary Clinton told the FBI.
Clinton, who became secretary of state in January 2009, said she contacted Powell that month to inquire about his own use of that device when he led the department. Powell also utilized a personal email account during that time.
Powell responded by warning that if her use of a BlackBerry became public knowledge, those emails could become "official record[s] and subject to the law."
"Be very careful. I got around it all by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data," he said.
Clinton told the FBI that she interpreted Powell's message to mean that work-related emails would be considered government records. She said that did not influence her decision to use a private email account.
The exchange was made public on Friday when the FBI released documents relating to its investigation into Clinton's email practices as secretary of state. FBI Director James Comey announced in July that the bureau would not recommend bringing criminal charges against Clinton, but called her handling of classified information "extremely careless."
The New York Times reported the fact of that exchange between Powell and Clinton last month, but not its contents. Citing a book by journalist Joe Conason, the Times also noted that at a dinner party early in her tenure at State, Powell had advised Clinton to use a private email account for non-classified communications.
Powell has pushed back on the suggestion that he played a role in Clinton's decision to use a private email account, telling the New York Post last month that he didn't remember the dinner conversation and that "her people have been trying to pin it on me."
"The truth is she was using it (her personal email) for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did," he told the paper.
Democratic lawmakers, at least, seemed to see the release of the Powell advice as evidence that what Clinton did was not all that unusual. They complained that the FBI did not release all the information it had, including details on many other officials sending sensitive government information through private email accounts.
"I am encouraged that the FBI released some information today, but I am disappointed that it did not release all of the documents together, including documents relating to dozens of other senior officials who authored and sent emails that have now been deemed classified when they were sent," said Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "Even with this limited production, however, the documents made public today demonstrate that our nation's classification system is fundamentally broken and in desperate need of reform."
Cummings and 10 other Democratic committee members invoked an obscure rule to try to push the State Department to release all the email-related exchanges between Powell and Clinton, which Cummings first sought last month after news of them broke. Under the "Seven Member Rule," members of the Oversight Committee can demand unredacted documents from federal agencies. A letter signed by the 11 lawmakers asks the State Department to produce the documents by Sept. 6.
Clinton herself has called her use of a private email account a "mistake." But she has also said she thought it was allowed by the State Department (it wasn't) and has pointed out that past secretaries of state used their personal email accounts.
Michael McAuliff contributed reporting.

The daily newspaper, Al Hayat, has cited the Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sameh Shukri as saying that the French President, Emmanuel Macron, probably put pressure on his Egyptian partner, Abdel Fattah al-Sissi.
It is likely that, due to this pressure, Egypt backed away from letting Syria back into the Arab League.

[4K Ultra HD Review] 'Elvis' (2022); Now Available From Warner Bros
Director: Baz Luhrmann
Cast: Austin Butler, Tom Hanks, Helen Thomson
Release Date: September 13, 2022
A Review By: Kevin Lovell
Film Rating: 8/10
Disc Rating: 8/10
A thoroughly cinematic drama, Elvis's (Austin Butler) story is seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks). As told by Parker, the film delves into the complex dynamic between the two spanning over 20 years, from Presley's rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the significant and influential people in Elvis's life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).

Keith Urban Debuts 'God Whispered Your Name' Music Video

Keith Urban just released the brand new video for his latest single, "God Whispered Your Name."
The Jennifer Massaux-directed clip compliments the song's message perfectly. Beginning with Urban alone in what appears to be a dimly lit basement, the video progresses to show Urban eventually emerging from the dark space. He is then seen walking around a vast open area with the sun shining down on him.
"I wanted to first try and capture a sense of isolation, a lonely, dark place, that transitions into light a bit more as the video progresses, which for me is how I found my own world opening up as I went along my journey," Urban shared.
While he feels like they were able to capture his vision for the video, it didn't come without its challenges, however.
"That dark and lonely place, was underneath a warehouse in Nashville, literally the darkest, dank and smelly place," he recalled. "We spent the whole morning there shooting everything that you now see in the first part of the video."
The smell was terrible, but that wasn't the only problem the superstar encountered during the shoot.
"There was water in this room that I thought was like an inch deep," he explained. "So, I opened the door, walked in and it was really about a foot. The first idea I had was to put my feet and socks into a garbage bag – tie them up and put my shoes on. I'd have my foot, my sock, a garbage bag and then my shoe – it made so much sense – but the water went everywhere. At the end of the shoot I took my boots off and they were drenched – probably as much water in the bag as there was in the waterway!"
On top of filming in Nashville, Urban and his team also captured footage in the small town of Lancaster, California where the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year was required to play guitar surrounded by the picturesque mountainscape. That proved to be quite a task.
"Playing guitar atop a boulder is definitely not a great idea," he confessed. "You just kinda lose yourself in what you're doing, and every minute or two you realize what you're doing, and you think, 'I better not fall off this big ass boulder!'"
The mid-tempo song, written by James Slater, Shy Carter, Micah Carter and Chris August, finds Urban leaning on his spiritual side and praising his better half for being there for him during the dark times. The aid of his true love helps him heal and find a new perspective in the tune, enough to become a changed man.
Urban hopes the video will help bring new life to the song.
"For me, a good music video takes the song to another level. It maybe gives the song a bit more dimension and hopefully we've done that with this one."

Stage-3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the first stage that is identifiable from a blood test alone. In the UK, it accounts for the majority of people on primary care CKD registers. It also represents a group of People who, in the past, would have gone unnoticed clinically. In order to support patients and plan services, the natural history of stage-3 CKD is important.
To systematically review the natural history of stage-3 CKD in order to describe all cause mortality, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and renal outcomes.
Design of study
Systematic review of the literature.
MEDLINE and Embase databases were searched from 1998 to February 2009. Systematic reviews and cohort studies that included adults with stage-3 CKD were considered eligible. Studies were appraised and data extracted by one reviewer and checked by a second.
Thirteen studies were identified including a total of 728 328 people. The all-cause mortality rate varied from 6% in 3 years to 51% in 10 years and was higher in stage-3B CKD (4.8 per 100 person-years) than stage-3A CKD (1.1 per 100 person-years). The relative risk of mortality (all-cause mortality or cardiovascular disease [CVD] mortality) was higher in stage-3 CKD compared with no CKD, but the increase was small for those with stage-3A CKD (hazard ratio [HR] 1.2-1.7) and greater in stage 3B (HR 1.8-3.3). End-stage renal disease was rare (4% in 10 years) and renal progression was evident in <20% of patients after 5 years.
For patients with stage-3 CKD, risk of mortality was higher than for those without CKD, but the risk of progression was low. CKD registers provide an opportunity for GPs to assess the risk of patients developing CVD.

Fuzzy Keyword Search over Encrypted Data in Cloud Computing using String Matching Algorithm
As cloud computing ends up plainly overarching, over and extra sensitive information square measure being incorporated into the cloud. In spite of the fact that antiquated accessible encoding plans empower a client to immovably seek over scrambled learning through catchphrases and by choice recover records of premium, these systems bolster exclusively exact watchword look. Amid this paper, for the most vital time, we have a tendency to celebrate and explain the matter of powerful fuzzy keyword look over encoded cloud information though keeping up catchphrase security. Fuzzy catchphrase seek significantly improves framework ease of use by restoring the coordinating records once clients' watching out information sources particularly coordinate the predefined watchwords or the most noteworthy achievable coordinating documents upheld catchphrase similitude semantics, once exact match comes up short. In our answer, we tend to misuse alter separation to evaluate watchwords closeness and create two propelled procedures on building fuzzy catchphrase sets that succeed enhanced capacity and delineation overheads. We keep an eye on any greenhorn image based trie-cross watching out topic, wherever a multi-way tree structure is made up abuse images revamped from the fluffy catchphrase sets. Through security investigation, we tend to demonstrate that our anticipated answer is secure and protection saving, though appropriately understanding the objective of fuzzy watchword seek. Top to bottom test show the intensity of the anticipated answer.

Limb girdle muscular dystrophies
Limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) are a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by a progressive dystrophic phenotype, mainly affecting the muscles of the shoulder and pelvic areas. Onset and severity of the symptoms are variable. Typical LGMD signs are difficulty in movements, wobbling gait and specific distribution of muscle atrophy. Several severe forms also affect cardiac and respiratory functions that can be lethal to patients.
LGMD is diagnosed via a deep clinical evaluation (identification of characteristic symptoms and patient history) coupled with microscopic examination and molecular analyses of muscle biopsies. Subsequently, a genetic analysis confirms the LGMD and the particular mutation of a determinant protein specifies the subtype. Knowing the exact LGMD subtype provides precious information which is necessary for an effective treatment. Most available therapies used nowadays for LGMD are only palliative and there is no definitive cure to date for affected patients.
Also known as calpainopathy, LGMD-R1 first symptoms appear in childhood or early adulthood. This LGMD subtype is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the CAPN3 gene, which encodes for calpain-3, a skeletal muscle-specific calcium-activated cysteine protease. Patients affected by this condition usually experience symmetrical weakness in their pelvis, upper and lower limbs, causing joint stiffness, difficulties in walking, posture abnormalities and scoliosis. The severity of the symptoms often forces the patients to the use of a wheelchair.
LGMD-R2 is characterized by mutations in the dysferlin gene, usually presenting with a late teenage onset. Dysferlin is expressed mainly in skeletal muscle, heart and macrophages. This protein is involved in a process called cell membrane repair, which is a protective mechanism to reseal membrane disruption, maintaining homeostasis and preventing cell death. This form of LGMD presents with a slow progression of proximal weakness and atrophy of shoulder and pelvic muscles. Typically, there is no involvement of heart or respiratory muscles. Calves pseudohypertrophy and highly elevated levels of serum creatine kinase are frequent in LGMD-R2 patients.
LGMD-R3 and LGMD-R5
LGMD-R3 and R5 are linked to autosomal recessive mutations in α- and γ-sarcoglycans, respectively. Sarcoglycans are a family of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the connection between the internal cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix. In muscles, they are part of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex and prevent sarcolemmal damage during muscle contractions. These 2 subtypes of LGMD share a childhood onset with typical symptoms of the disease involving progressive weakness and atrophy of scapular and pelvic muscles. The prognosis is similar in both disease forms and results in difficulties of movement and reduced quality of life. While for LGMD-R3, cardiac and respiratory symptoms are rare, in LGMD-R5, there is a more frequent involvement of both the heart and diaphragm. A feature, often present in LGMD-R3, is the hypercontraction of the Achille's tendon leading to a peculiar tiptoe gait pattern.
LGMD-R9 is a recessive autosomal dystrophy caused by mutation in the fukutin related protein (FKRP) gene. FKRP is a ribitol-5-phosphatase transferase that participates in α-dystroglycan glycosylation to ensure matrix-anchoring of the muscle fiber.
LGMD2I/R9 affects an estimated 5,000 people in the US and Europe. Symptoms appear around late childhood or early adulthood. Patients suffer from progressive muscular weakness leading to loss of ambulation. They also are prone to respiratory impairment and myocardial dysfunction. There currently are no curative treatments.

The role of seagrass vegetation and local environmental conditions in shaping benthic bacterial and macroinvertebrate communities in a tropical coastal lagoon.

We investigated the influence of seagrass canopies on the benthic biodiversity of bacteria and macroinvertebrates in a Red Sea tropical lagoon. Changes in abundance, number of taxa and assemblage structure were analyzed in response to seagrass densities (low, SLD; high, SHD; seagrasses with algae, SA), and compared with unvegetated sediments. Biological and environmental variables were examined in these four habitats (hereafter called treatments), both in the underlaying sediments and overlaying waters, at three randomly picked locations in March 2017. Differences between treatments were more apparent in the benthic habitat than in the overlaying waters. The presence of vegetation (more than its cover) and changes in sedimentary features (grain size and metals) at local scales influenced the observed biological patterns, particularly for macroinvertebrates. Of note, the highest percentage of exclusive macroinvertebrate taxa (18% of the gamma diversity) was observed in the SHD treatment peaking in the SA for bacteria. Benthic macroinvertebrates and bacteria shared a generally low number of taxa across treatments and locations; approximately, 25% of the gamma diversity was shared among all treatments and locations for macrofauna, dropping to 11% for bacteria. Given the low overlap in the species distribution across the lagoon, sustaining the connectivity among heterogeneous soft sediment habitats appears to be essential for maintaining regional biodiversity. This study addresses a current scientific gap related to the relative contributions of vegetated and unvegetated habitats to biodiversity in tropical regions.

Organizations face the challenge of making their data management more agile and transforming their data into usableinformation based on their activities; creating what we now know as DataOps . DataOps is a methodology that utilizes Agile development practices to create, deliver, and optimize data products quickly and profitably.
In essence, DataOps gives speed and agility to the data channeling process from end to end and from collection to delivery. Its objective is to accelerate the gathering of data along with its processing, integration, and analysis. It is, in other words, a methodology for taking advantage of data efficiently while managing it in line with commercial objectives.
With DataOps, organizations continually strives to create better ways to manage its data. This practice collaborates with the success of digital transformation and includes every part of the life-cycle of data management. It benefits companies by fostering collaboration between teams of data scientists, data engineers and analysts, operations, and product owners.
Data management
DataOps encompasses various disciplines, such as data development, transformation, and extraction, data quality control, data governance and access control, data center capacity planning, and information system operations.
Like DevOps, this methodology is not associated with any specific software tools or technologies. Rather, it consists of "frameworks and groups of related tool collections that enable a DataOps approach to collaboration and greater agility. It also includes automation process practices.
A study was done and found that 73% of the companies surveyed planned on investing in DataOps. These companies had to manage enormous quantities of data (big data) and turn them into knowledge. They needed to put an end to useless and wasteful management processes. A DataOps team that understands the data requisites of the entire organization can do this by orchestrating the centralization of all the flows.
Data analysis
DataOps enables an increase the capacity to offer predictable and reliable commercial value on the basis of data assets. Companies can make greater and better use of their data for making decisions, developing products, and providing services. Some of the benefits this practice brings are better communication and collaboration between different work groups and between members of the same team, optimization of data quality, information on data in real time, reduction of data science application cycle times, and the capacity to predict different scenarios through data analysis.
Are the people in your organization using DataOps practices?

PeKaO Project Room at CCA Ujazdowski Castle / WARSAW (Poland)
23.11.2017 – 26.12.2017
People need fiction. Only through faith in shared fictions could societies, religions and nations emerge. Systems founded on looking jointly and severally in the same direction.
Offering the majority relief in identifying with a greater cause. And the minority – a sense of exclusion. That's what the separatist power of language, flags and monuments is all about. Power is exercised at the symbolic level by dictatorially forcing images and objects—through which history is written—into the public sphere. Power depends on collective fictions. For shaping public opinion, it is not so much the facts that matter as the emotional potential of the message, as well as how it resonates with the recipient's beliefs. This is how contemporary political culture works and why it is ever more difficult to distinguish reality from hallucination. TRIP CITY is a site-specific landscape of a psychoactive hue. Zuzanna Czebatul reads the socio-political sentiments active in public space, hijacks material objects, deconstructs and enters them into new contexts, changing their meaning. She explores the city, focusing on its vulnerable places. In Frequency Respond Test (Harry & Paul), two life-sized plush beasts with their heads cut off, she locates the idea of a dumbed down conflict without a chance for dialogue. A conflict that ceased to be constructive due to more value being placed on physical rather than verbal confrontation.
In the series New Republic the artist takes fragmentary casts from monuments and breaks them into pieces—disassembling their symbolic power as well as the collective cultural identity they project. The identity is ordered to form anew. Complementing the series, a mural refers to expressionist films from the early 20th century— in a critical moment for European history, they helped to tame the fear and negotiate the borders of reality. Czebatul also negotiates these borders— TRIP CITY is a distorted reality weighted by an increasingly emotional burden. By treating history as an area of knowledge particularly susceptible to manipulation, the artist undermines and rejects the mechanisms running the public sphere and scrapes off the layers of ideology.

Knack Is A Platformer That Shows Off The Particle Skills Of The PS4
The first game revealed at yesterday's PlayStation Meeting press conference was Knack, a platformer featuring a relic-absorbing creature for the PlayStation 4.
Knack as a character is basically a simple body from the start until it starts gathering relics onto its person not too different from how it would look when a magnet attracts iron filings. The end result is a larger, taller Knack ready to take on the goblin army.
A post from the Europe PlayStation blog reveals Knack's ability to incorporate other elements like ice and metal, giving him new abilities from level to level. Game director Mark Cerny, who revealed the DualShock 4 and Knack at a segment at yesterday's presser, has worked with other titles like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter, describing the game as "Crash Bandicoot (with) a little bit like Katamari Damacy".
Knack is being developed by Japan Studio, notable for their work with Patapon and Shadow of the Colossus with Team Ico.
