Stringent efforts to curb illegal file-sharing as proposed in the Digital Economy Act may be in the offing as leading Internet Service Providers, BT and TalkTalk have lost a judicial challenge against the controversial legislation.
The Digital Economy Act proposed a host of measures to deal with illegal file downloading and these include the provision of blocking the Internet access of repeat offenders.
The challenge to Digital Economy Act was nixed at a hearing in the London High Court where the challenge brought by ISPs was removed on nearly all legal grounds including "basic rights and freedoms"
ISPs however plan to challenge the ruling and a TalkTalk spokesman mentioned "We're disappointed that we were unsuccessful on most of the judicial review. On the question of the proportionality of the act, we're pleased the judge identified issues but disappointed that he felt that the evidence of the futility of the measures imposed by the act, and the cost and harm they will cause, is not sufficiently definitive enough at this stage to uphold our claim".
While ISPs may logically be disadvantaged by the current ruling, the music industry is definitely experiencing a relief as illegal downloading today leads to significant revenue loss. With the plans of sending warning letters to illegal downloader likely to go ahead in near future, the figures for illegal file-sharing in UK just may come down.

Please be aware, there is a minor SPOILER in this post regarding Proof. If that bothers you, please come back after you've seen the play!
Proof is one of those plays that can have a thousand different loglines. Is it about the relationship between a father and a daughter? The line between madness and genius? The competitive nature of sisterhood? The desire to succeed and fear of failure? The passage of time and lost chances?
It all depends upon which formula you plug in.
When I first saw Proof some seventeen years ago, it was all about the madness/genius angle for me. After spending my 30s taking care of my critically ill mother, it is about the delicate balance of taking care of someone else without losing yourself.
The moment that stands the strongest in my memory from Good Company Players' production is a moment I repeated with my mother many times, and always with a little more drama each time.
Fighting against a relapse into mental instability, Robert (a well-calibrated Gordon Moore) writes his mathematical ideas furiously into a notebook. Finding him alone in the Chicago cold and without a jacket, his daughter, math prodigy Catherine (Bailey Johnson, in the best work I've seen from her thus far), approaches him and bids him come inside.
In an effort to grasp onto the last bit of hope that he's not as sick as he suspects he is, Robert thrusts the notebook into Catherine's hands and demands he read the formulas out to him.
After a moment's calculation, Catherine does. The notebook is full of gibberish.
Anyone who has had to view their parents' decline and confront them with the truth of it knows that moment. It's the moment you have to take away their drivers' license, keep them from using the stove alone, discuss putting them into assisted living. . . or the moment you realize you have to make a major sacrifice and take care of them yourself.
And it is utterly heartbreaking.
Directed by Denise Graziani, this moment in Proof soars.
If you're wondering if a play like Proof is too much of a downer or too intellectual for your tastes, don't. It is one of the most accessible plays out there for a general audience. It is thoughtful, contains familial humor and poignant drama. If you're into television like "This is Us" or "Brothers and Sisters", you should take a chance on Proof.
Proof runs June 21 – August 12, 2018 at Good Company Players' 2nd Space Theater.

Linden Public Schools Honored Nationally as One of 34 "Districts of Distinction"
Submitted by Gary Miller
The Linden Public School system has been included among 34 "Districts of Distinction" nationwide for its innovative ideas to solve challenges and support students.
Honorees were chosen by District Administration magazine, which provides school district leaders with critical information for district management.
"We are very happy to have been honored as one of the Districts of Distinction," said Acting Superintendent Denise Cleary. "As an administration, it is our mission to provide our teachers and support staff with the tools they need to ensure that every student has a learning environment that allows them to excel in the classroom and beyond. This honor highlights the initiatives we have taken to ensure that we continually meet or exceed that goal."
The "Districts of Distinction" program was established by District Administration Magazine to honor school districts that are leading the way with new ideas that solve challenges. Honorees are selected based on quantifiable results and the replicability of their initiatives. The July 2019 Districts of Distinction honorees were selected by the magazine's editors from numerous nominations.
"These districts have developed innovative programs to support students in their education and well beyond the classroom," says JD Solomon, editorial director of District Administration magazine. "We hope our readers are inspired by the efforts of these honorees to create successful initiatives in their own districts."
The Linden administration was chosen because of its use of Instructional Leadership Teams – teachers, instructional coaches, and administrators who work together to connect standards, student learning, assessment, professional learning, and school culture.
The teams, which began in 2016 as part of a five-year strategic plan, analyze data during summer sessions to develop action plans and instructional strategies. Collective efficacy has encouraged additional collaboration in instruction.
"Teachers receive targeted professional development, coupled with opportunities for peer collaboration, allowing educators to share their ideas and gain new insights and perspectives," Cleary said.
Over the past three years under the program, the number of students who have met or exceeded expectations on English Language Arts assessments has increased at three times the state rate.

Dear Fellow Survivalist;
To those of us who carry, our guns are an important part of our lives. We become accustomed to them and the added security they provide to our lives. Many of us have developed other habits as well, to go along with carrying, such as always taking a seat where we can see who comes in the door of a restaurant and scanning the street when we walk out the door. We feel half-naked if we find ourselves in a situation where we are forced to leave our guns behind.
Yet with all our concern about our guns, there are times when we just miss the boat. I'm specifically referring here to the ability to maintain our guns in a crisis situation. When your gun breaks and you can't find a gunsmith around, that gun is nothing more than an expensive paperweight. Better to be able to take care of it yourself, if you need to.
The good news is that guns actually aren't all that hard to work on, at least not to do common repairs and modifications. If you are fairly good with tools, chances are that you'll be able to learn how to do most maintenance work on your guns yourself.
The first part of maintaining any firearm is keeping it cleaned and oiled. I've been surprised at how few shooters I know regularly clean and oil their guns. Maybe that's because I was in the military and every time you touched your gun, you had to strip it down and clean it.
But there's a reason why the military trains soldiers to care for their guns that way. That's because dirt is the enemy of firearms. Actually, it's the enemy in more ways than one, as dirt can cause jams, as well as causing excessive wear. Dirt acts as an abrasive, whenever the gun cycles, especially if it gets into anywhere where there is metal rubbing against metal.
I don't clean my guns as often as I used to in my military days, but I still field strip my carry gun monthly, so that I can clean and oil it. A lot of dust and lint tends to get in the gun from carrying it every day, so I usually have to blow out the trigger mechanism with compressed air, as well as normal cleaning.
The other part of this that I see is people either not putting any oil on their guns or putting too much oil on them. In the case of too much, it's not that they pour it on, it's just that they oil the gun every time they shoot it, without ever cleaning the old gummy oil out. This builds up deposits of residue in the gun, which will eventually harden and can cause malfunctions.
The second part of maintain your firearms is to have a stock of the most commonly needed parts on hand. There really aren't all that many of them, so we're not talking about a huge investment here. But in an emergency situation, especially a post-disaster time, you may not be able to find parts anywhere.
So, what parts should you have?
In addition to these basic parts, you should check to see if there are any parts that tend to break for the specific guns you own. Each gun is unique and could have parts which are a problem.
You will likely find that there are a few specific tools that you'll need, which you don't have. When I built my AR-15, I had to buy a few specialty tools. Likewise, I've found that I needed some very small hex wrenches for working on my guns, as well as some drive pin punches. As you learn about repairing your guns, you'll probably find a number of tools mentioned by the instructors. Take note of those and make sure you buy yourself good ones.
Finally, you want to learn how to do the work. This is extremely easy in this day and age, as you can find videos for a huge amount of things on YouTube, including complete breakdown and reassembly of just about any firearm on the market.
Since you don't know what specific repairs you are likely to need, the best thing to look for is videos which will show you full breakdowns and rebuilds. Going through these a few times, taking your own guns apart and reassembling them, will ensure that you know how everything goes together. Then, if a part breaks, you'll know how to get to it and how to put it in.
You might also want to try and find exploded view drawings of the guns you have and print them out. I have these for various firearms, and find them extremely useful for identifying parts and showing the orientation of how they go together. While not a perfect reference, they provide a lot of useful information in an easy to use manner.
So, there you go. Follow those few steps and you'll be ready to maintain your own guns, ensuring that they will always be there to work for you. And as always, keep your powder dry and your survival gear close at hand (as well as your repair parts).
Dr. Rich

The central storyline in RTÉ's mainstay soap, Fair City, centres on domestic abuse between Damien Halpin (Maclean Burke) and his wife Suzanne (Sarah Flood). As a programme that attracts 645,200 viewers on average (source: http://tvsales.rte.ie/insights/topprogrammes.htm), I was surprised that RTÉ did not put a Helpline at the end of the programme.
Admittedly I missed the beginning where a Helpline was possibly aired, but for such a serious issue, surely RTÉ should air a Helpline at the end too.

On Aug. 10, 2013, McGill-Toolen Catholic High School teacher and track and cross-country coach Marie Bader completed a 10K on sand, which ran from the State Park Cotton Bayou complex to the Gulf Shores public beach. With her final steps in the World-Beater All-Beach 10K, she clocked in a time of 55 minutes and 1 second which won her first place. She also earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for "Fastest 10KM on Sand."
Bader was surprised with the honor on Jan. 24 during McGill-Toolen's Coming Home Pep Rally.
"She doesn't know this, but just this month she is officially a Guiness World Record Holder," said Athletic Director Bill Griffin.
The race that earned the accolade for Bader was not an easy one.
"It was incredibly hard," Bader said. "You just don't get the bounce off your step that you do on either grass or cement. There were times that I was running through water and my feet were sinking into the sand. A couple of times I was just, 'I give up.' I felt like I was stuck in there.
"This is a good race."
When Bader signed up for the race, she said she didn't even know the McGill-Toolen tennis team was spearheading it.
"It was a good surprise to see a lot of the kids I teach," she said. "It was really nice."
The small race, which applied for world-record sanctioning for "Fastest 10KM on Sand" for the individual and relay team, wasn't the first brush of Guinness Book of World Records for Bader. She previously participated in the largest Zumba party as well.
However, the individual honor means much more than the shared record with several 1,000 other people.
"I never thought I would ever be in Guinness Book of World Records," Bader said. "I mean, the Zumba thing is different. This is for just me."
While Bader is the only Guinness World Record holder from the event, a three-person team from Auburn holds the World-Beater All-Beach 10K American Record for a team. Guinness World Records has not yet certified the win.
Big Dog Running Company — Jake Brewer, Chris Patrick and Richard Alverson — won the relay.
The World-Beater All-Beach 10K was relatively small with only 30 runners in 2013, but Bader hopes it grows.
"It is such a great run. I hope that with this record more people come out in August for the second race and compete," she said.
The race's founder Joe Moore hoped for the same.
"We plan to grow this race, maybe even set it at one particular place or resort for a set number of years," he said. "What we've found is that this race offers runners a wonderful opportunity that you don't just stumble across every day – setting an American or World Record for the Fastest 10 K on Sand."

Traditional Criminal Procedure in Ethiopia
Stanley L,Fischer
"'No modern legislation which does not have its roots in the customs of those whom it governs can have a strong foundation."
Haile Sellassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia DOWNLOAD FILE
In the decade 1955-1965 the Ethiopian government completely revolutionized its legal system by promulgating comprehensive legal codes and a new constitution.1 These laws have a predominantly Western flavor, and seem to bear little relation to the traditional patterns of life which still prevail in the Empire-one of the least "developed" areas of Africa. This state of affairs has led some to characterize the new codes as "fantasy law," which may serve to put a modern "face" on the country but, at least for some time to come, will not have any serious impact on the conduct of its affairs.2
Ethiopia's policy in regard to customary law does seem to have been remarkably negative. The codifiers apparently made no attempt to review existing written sources on the customary legal systems in operation throughout the Empire, much less to initiate or en courage systematic studies to supplement the scanty information available. Post-hoc justifications of this policy have been published
by some of the code drafters as well as by scholars. They range from denial that customary law really existed in Ethiopia, to negative comments on its changeability, lack of uniformity, incompleteness, obscurity, and low status. These commentators also point out that some customs have been incorporated into the new laws, or otherwise permitted to operate within the new legal framework, that uniformity of laws is necessary and desirable for a country as heterogeneous as Ethiopia, and, finally, that the abandonment of custom is not a serious worry because for a long time to come the codes will not be applied in large parts of the Empire.3 These circumstances raise two important questions: first, what was "the customary law" of Ethiopia which the codes changed, and, second, how have the new codes changed it, both "on paper" and in practice? In this article we shall attempt to answer only the first of these questions, with regard to the law of criminal procedure. Drawing mainly upon scattered secondary sources,4 we shall attempt to construct a model of Ethiopian customary criminal procedure.
This model will hopefully provide some basis for future research assessing the Ethiopian Criminal Procedure Code of 19615 in the light of this background
Homicide in Ethiopia: Human Rights, Federalism, and Legal Pluralism DOLORES A. DONOVAN and GETACHEW ASSEFA
This is a paper about human rights, federalism and legal pluralism in Ethiopia. It is a deeply practical paper, in many ways a paper about the responsibilities and limits of state power. The topic is how the Ethiopian state can maintain the level of protection of human rights necessary to protect its standing in the international community while at the same time respecting and incorporating within its formal legal system the multiple customary law systems existing within its borders. The conclusion is that the key to success is adoption of a maximally flexible system of legislative federalism.
Ethiopia enjoys a rich heritage of customary law systems. There are more than sixty such legal systems in Ethiopia, some of them operating quite independently of the formal state legal system. There are two reasons for the relative autonomy of Ethiopia's customary law systems. First is that the state's resources are insufficient to extend the state legal system to every corner of its empire. Second is that the Ethiopian government has a real, though as yet unstructured, commitment to the preservation of the customary law systems within its boundaries.
The Ethiopian government also has a commitment to establishment of the rule of law in Ethiopia, in the conventional nineteenth-century European meaning of the term. A central attribute of that nineteenth-century European rule-of-law model is the notion of a unitary legal system generating uniform legal rules from a central state authority. Another attribute of that sort of rule of law is the guarantee of protection for individual rights, today better-known as human rights.
Tension exists between the Ethiopian government's commitment to the concept of uniform legal rules throughout its territory, including rules protecting human rights, and its commitment to preservation of the Ethiopian customary law systems. The Ethiopian Federal Constitution of 1994 guarantees protection for a broad range of human rights, incorporating by reference the major international human rights covenants signed and ratified by the Ethiopian government and repeating, verbatim, the language of the most important rights. The state constitutions - now in the process of adoption throughout Ethiopia - tend, on the whole, to mimic the federal constitution in this regard. The customary law systems, however, deviate in at least some ways from the norms set up by the federal and state constitutions.
The tension between the customary law systems and the statutory and constitutional norms of the Ethiopian government is most clearly seen in the rules and practices relating to the crime of homicide. The federal Penal Code, written in 1957 and still in force, purports to establish rules uniformly applicable throughout the geographic confines of the Ethiopian state.! Yet many, if not most, cases of homicide are dealt with by the sixty Ethiopian customary law systems.
In such a situation, the classical European goal of total certainty in the law, especially the criminal law, must necessarily be reconsidered. The nineteenth-century model of uniform legal rules, expressed by code and uniformly applied throughout the country, is not viable in large multicultural nations such as Ethiopia. The federal constitution adopted by Ethiopia in 1994 is the first legislative recognition of that fact. The second legislative recognition of that fact should be enactment of a flexible federal statutory framework conferring a high degree of legislative autonomy on the Ethiopian regions. Once federalism is decided upon, flexibility and local autonomy come into competition with certainty as desirable values informing the law(s). Even more flexibility, to allow for local variations in the law, is required when a federal government embraces, as has the Ethiopian government, the principle of preservation of its multiple customary law systems.
The Ethiopian government's commitment to establish the rule of law while protecting its customary law systems confronts it with three immediate tasks: 1) creating a federal framework of statutory law flexible enough to allow the nine Ethiopian state governments to enact their own statutory frameworks, in turn flexible enough to accommodate the customary law systems within their borders; 2) inventorying the more than sixty Ethiopian customary law systems, most of which have never been studied by legal anthropologists, to evaluate their procedures and practices and determine which are and which are not in conformance with the international human rights guarantees contained in the Ethiopian constitution; and 3) devising techniques to monitor the performance of the customary law regimes for compliance with minimal standards of human rights protection, and to upgrade their performance in that regard. Completion of these tasks requires reconciling competing pairs of values: rule of law and preservation of customary law, protection of human rights and protection of custom, certainty in the law and flexibility, uniformity in the law and local autonomy.
The crime of homicide has been chosen for a case study because it presents these tensions in their most extreme and hence most clear form. The substantive rules of law governing homicide are generally the same in both customary and modern legal systems. Unprovoked killings are wrong; self-defense is an excuse, and so on. Because of this high level of consensus, the variances, when they occur, are startling and crystal-clear. An example of such a variance, found not just in Ethiopia but also in many other parts of the world, is condonation at customary law of the killing of a witch or of revenge killings.
Where a variance such as that relating to witchcraft or revenge killing occurs, one is confronted with the situation of a nation-state tolerating the existence within its borders of a competing legal authority endorsing radically different norms relating to the taking of human life. On the one hand, tolerance of these radically different customary law norms is arguably the duty of a government that purports to be representative, for the customary law systems are more closely linked to and reflective of the traditions and expectations of the local peoples they serve than are the rules enacted by the nation-state. On the other hand, tolerance of these norms calls into question the sincerity of the formal government's constitutionally-expressed commitment to protection of the fundamental and universal human right to life and to equal protection of the laws. In the end, or so it is argued, the impact of multiple variances between the norms of the customary law systems and those of the modern nation-state can call into question the legitimacy of the formal, modern, legal system and eventually that of the modern nation-state itself.
Less is at stake when it comes to procedure. The procedures utilized by a society for dealing with killings are not so reflective of core social values as are the norms of conduct governing the killing of one human being by another. Nonetheless, even with respect to rules of procedure rather than those of substance, the legitimacy of the formal legal system can be cast into doubt when the people it purports to serve prefer and utilize the dispute resolution procedures familiar to them through their customary law rather than those set up by the modern state.
Such a situation exists in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is a vast and multi-ethnic nation. The modern European-style legal apparatus of the state, established in the mid-20th century, has only recently been extended to the more distant regions of the country. In those regions, the norms of behavior that govern the taking of human life, and the procedures that surround its sanctioning, are not those established by the Ethiopian Penal Code and the Ethiopian Criminal Procedure Code, but rather the norms and procedures of the ancient customary law systems of the Ethiopian peoples. Even in regions that for more than two thousand years have formed the nucleus of the Ethiopian state, loyalty to customary law norms and procedures continues to frustrate enforcement ofthe modern criminal law and to fuel dissatisfaction with the government's system of criminal justice.
A few generalizations about the customary law of homicide in Ethiopia are in order. First, the typical outcome of customary law homicide procedure is that the slayer is freed by the payment of compensation to the families of the victim. In other words the slayer does not encounter any loss of liberty as a penalty. Once the amount of compensation is paid out in full, the offender can engage himself in day-to-day activity as though nothing has happened. He is not to be put behind the bars as is the case where the written national laws apply. Second, there are variations as to the amount and mode of payment from one group (culture) to another. The slayer may be required to pay in compensation as many as a couple of hundreds heads of animal beginning with camels down the line to cattle, sheep and goats. Third, since the amount of compensation to be paid is extremely high, the slayer cannot pay it all by himself. It, therefore, is one of the principles of the law of homicide that the offender will be assisted by his clan, the members of which will contribute as much as they can to the full amount of the compensation fixed as payable. Responsibility for homicide is thus familial rather than individual. Fourth, the amount of compensation to be paid sometimes differs in the event of the homicide of a woman and that of a man. Among peoples adhering to this principle, the life of a woman is compensable with approximately fifty per cent fewer heads of animals than the life ofa man.
This paper examines customary law practices relating to homicide among three ethnic groups: the Show a Amhara of the Amhara Regional State; the Gumuz people in the Beneshangul and Gumuz Regional State; and the Somali people in the Somali Regional State of Ethiopia. The Amharas are the people most closely identified with the ancient and the modern Ethiopian State. The material on the Amharas focuses on the interaction between the state legal system and the Amhara customary law system in cases involving revenge killings. The Gumuz people are among the most removed from modern civilization of all Ethiopian ethnic groups. The section on the Gumuz considers sorcery and status (adventure) killings. The Somalis, who are nomadic pastoralists, are the people least assimilated into the modern Ethiopian State. The section on the Somali focuses on cases involving the killing of women and the related sentencing practices that discriminate against and devalue the lives of women. These three groups have been selected for study because each manifests a very different dimension of the problem of human rights, federalism and legal pluralism that confronts the Ethiopian State.
Part I of this paper describes the modern Ethiopian State, the ethnic composition of the Ethiopian people, with particular reference to the Amhara, Gumuz and Somali peoples, and the geography of their lands. Part II examines the treatment of homicide within the customary law systems of the Amhara, Gumuz and Somali peoples. At issue are the right to life, the protection of female children against exploitation, and the right of women not to be discriminated against on the basis of their gender. Part III, the heart of the paper, examines the interplay between these customary law systems, modern notions of human rights, federalism and legal pluralism. Part Three also considers procedural mechanisms useful for reconciling the formal Ethiopian legal system and the informal Ethiopian customary law systems. Part IV, the conclusion of the article, proposes a plan of action for the Ethiopian government that will respect and preserve the customary law systems while modifying them to effectuate the universal human rights norms contained in the Ethiopian constitution.
Confrontation and competition between a nation's formal legal system and its customary law systems is not inevitable. The tension between the two can be mediated by legislation artfully designed to promote the interests of both systems. The central vision of the proposed plan is the introduction of flexibility into Ethiopia's federal and state penal and criminal procedural law so as to permit co-existence and cooperation between the customary law systems and the state criminal justice system, subject to the authority of the human rights provisions of the state and federal constitutions. These new, flexible, legal norms would then be extended, in combination with or preceded by a campaign of community education, to those customary law systems heretofore untouched by or resistant to the legal authority of the state.
Discussions on euthanasia usually revolve around medical, legal and moral issues geared at determining the extent to which a physician may feel obliged to accede to the request of the terminally ill patient to bring to a graceful end his or her pain and suffering by assisting the patient to die. In some jurisdictions, physicians are statutorily conceded such rights in spite of the Hippocratic Oath. But the conservatively religious would have none of such as life is seen as sacred which only the Creator could terminate at the chosen time. This paper examines various views on euthanasia, zeroing in on criminal law regimes of two countries in Africa, namely Nigeria and Ethiopia. It is discovered that while the statutes and judicial decisions in these countries (especially in Nigeria) appear favourably disposed to the idea of passive euthanasia, active euthanasia is still criminalized whatever may be the intention of the doctor, and even at the request of the patient. A strong case is made for the need for these countries to borrow a leaf from some European countries, such as the Netherlands and Belgium, which have legalised euthanasia as a mark of respect to the right of the terminally ill to choose the most honourable way of passage to the Creator while putting an end to unceasing pain and suffering associated with the ailment.
CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT IN ABORTION CARE IN ETHIOPIA H.Y. LUKMAN and A.T. RAMADAN
Objective: To illustrate the disparity in the law enforcement in abortion care and the widely reported induced abortion rates.
Design: A descriptive study.
Setting: The computer-entered data from the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Police Information and Documentation Center.
Materials and Methods: Two hundred and sixteen case files handled by the police in the last two years. The data of 326 subjects accused of alleged abortion related legal wrong doings were analysed for age, marital status, educational level, occupation and the due process in the court of law. The magnitude of induced abortions is reviewed from the available institutional based studies.
Results: The majority of aborting mothers, the service providers and their accomplices are found to be young, unmarried, poorly educated and of low socio-economic profile. The files that are under investigation and pending court rulings are remarkably high. The published incidence of induced abortion ratio of 318 per 1,000 live births is disproportionately greater than those that actually come under the attention of the law. Conclusion: The 1957 law is not officially repealed and its restrictive nature is not influencing the prevalence of illicitly induced abortions since the legal instruments are not fully operational. This is the consequence of fewer complaints advanced to the police and/or lack of obligatory reporting system of the events by the service delivery points.
The Estimated Incidence of Induced Abortion in Ethiopia, 2008
Susheela Singh, Tamara Fetters, Hailemichael Gebreselassie, Ahmed Abdella, Yirgu Gebrehiwot, Solomon Kumbi, Suzette Audam
As part of law reform in Ethiopia in 2005, the penal code was revised to broaden the indications under which abortion is permitted. Termination of pregnancy is now legal when the pregnancy results from rape or incest, when continuation of the pregnancy endangers the health or life of the woman or the fetus, in cases of fetal impairment, for women with physical or mental disabilities, for minors who are physically or psychologically unprepared to raise a child and in cases of grave and imminent danger that can be averted only through immediate pregnancy termination. These are significant changes from the previous law, which permitted abortion only in cases of grave and imminent danger that could be averted only through immediate pregnancy termination
A second, related change was the 2006 publication by the Ministry of Health of technical and procedural guidelines for the provision of safe abortion services, to "translate the law into actionable measures" and to inform "women, health professionals, law enforcement agencies and all sectors of society" about implementation of the law. l However, various factors-the need to inform women and providers about the new law, a shortage of trained personnel and inadequacies in the country's health care infrastructure, especially in terms of coverage of the large rural population-mean that providing wide spread access to new services would take time and require efforts from many institutions and sectors of the population.
Prior studies have documented that unsafe abortion has been an important and ongoing health problem in Ethiopia. The 2005 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) estimates that 673 women died of pregnancy-related causes for every 100,000 live births in the six years prior to the survey.2 The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that in Eastern Africa, unsafe abortion accounts for one in seven maternal deaths.3 In a 2001-2002 study in a major university hospital in Addis Ababa, post abortion complications were one of the three leading causes of maternal mortality. According to a large-scale study in 2000 of 15 hospitals in nine of the country's 11 regions, more than half of women treated for complications of induced abortion had gone to an untrained provider or had induced the abortion themselves.5 A bibliographic review spanning 1985-2000 indicates that many attitudinal and organizational barriers prevented women from obtaining post abortion services without delay and that these barriers resulted in low-quality increasing.
The desire for smaller families is increasing, which reflects broader social and economic changes in the country: The average desired family size declined from 4.9 in 2000 to 4.0 in 2005. And although contraceptive use has increased, unmet need for contraception has remained high. Women in Addis Ababa and other urban areas are delaying marriage into their 20s, probably in response to adverse economic conditions. This delay in marriage may result in increased sexual activity among unmarried young women, raising their risk of unintended pregnancy as well as abortion, given that childbearing outside of marriage is highly stigmatized. In DHS surveys, few unmarried women report ever having been sexually active, but data from other, smaller-scale studies suggest that sexual activity among the unmarried is not uncommon.
The present study was undertaken to estimate abortion incidence in Ethiopia, to shed light on the extent to which unsafe abortion is occurring and to estimate the level of use of legal abortion procedures following the 2005 change in the abortion law and the 2006 Ministry of Health safe abortion guidelines. Better documentation of the overall incidence of abortion and of its two components-clandestine or unsafe abortion and legal abortion-is essential for informing policy decisions and program design, and for monitoring the impact of existing policies and programs in Ethiopia. Data on the overall incidence of induced abortion is a crucial indicator of women's and couples' difficulties in preventing unintended pregnancies, and of their need for better contraceptive services. Information on the level of unsafe abortion and post abortion complications can be used to help focus public attention on this issue. In addition, it can help the government design improved post abortion care services (including the provision of contraceptive services as part of post abortion care), and programs to educate women and couples about legal provision of abortion and how to obtain the procedure. National data on the incidence of legal abortion is an important indicator of women's access to services under the new criteria and of women's, providers' and the general public's awareness of the abortion law.
ABORTION LAW IN ETHIOPIA: A Comparative Perspective Tsehai Wada
Induced abortion or the deliberate termination of pregnancy is one of the most controversial issues in legal discourse. As a legal issue, abortion is usually discussed in light of the principles of criminal law. Depending on circumstances, however, abortion can also be discussed from the standpoint of constitutional law. In the former case, the issue usually takes the form of criminalizing or decriminalizing the act, while in the latter, the issue becomes whether a pregnant woman has a constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy. The issue thus usually involves the competing arguments in favour of the "right" of the fetus to be brought onto life (i.e. personhood) vis-à-vis the right of the mother to abortion based on her interests and choice.
Although many factors have contributed to the debate, it appears that religious outlooks permeate the controversy pertaining to criminalizing and decriminalizing abortion. Major religions still hold that abortion is the deliberate taking away of life and, therefore, not condoned under any circumstance. On the other side of the spectrum, advocates of women's rights, argue that when the interests of the fetus comes into conflict with the rights of the pregnant woman, the latter should take precedence and it is the woman's decision that should count in the end.
The issue whether a fetus has a life of its own that is worthy of protection under the law, is found to be another issue of contention. Some argue that a fetus has no life of its own for some weeks while others contend that life starts from the very moment of the union of the sperm and the egg, which according to this view is a scientific truth. One of the major aspects of the debate on abortion is the mindset of these perspectives of thought influenced by different values.
Abortion is an issue, which affects every country in the globe. In countries that have decriminalized abortion, women are spared of the dire consequences of illegal abortion. In many other countries wherein abortion is a criminal act, however, illegal abortion is the major cause of maternal mortality and other serious health problems, as is to be discussed at a later stage.
Given the nature of abortion as an act as well as a point of debate, the issue deserves discussion from a comparative perspective.
This article attempts to shed light on the historical development of the laws of various countries and the effects of illegal abortion in many countries. Religious positions are the main catalysts that fuel the debate on abortion, and the article will thus attempt to highlight the positions of some of the major religions.
Ethiopia's legal regime pertaining to abortion has been changing through time. In 2004, Ethiopia has enacted a new Criminal Code that has radically (albeit inadequately) reversed the highly restrictive position of previous laws on abortion. The process had involved a lively and heated public debate on the pros and cons of criminalizing / decriminalizing abortion. In addition to changes in the law, therefore, the debate has enhanced public awareness and concern over the issue. Thus, the new law and the setting of public discourse which accompanied its enactment will definitely influence the conduct of many individuals including pregnant women, physicians, illegal abortionists, etc. for the years and decades to come. This article, therefore, attempts to show the nature of the debate and critically examines whether the new law has appropriately and adequately addressed the issue.
This article encourages readers towards informed judgment rather than polarized recriminations. The first and second sections of this article discuss the history of abortion and the positions of major religions on abortion. The third section addresses the legal regime and its impact in various countries. And the last three sections deal with Ethiopia's abortion law and the public debate that surrounded the 2004 Criminal Code, followed by conclusions and recommendations.

Sky Blues' hunt for goals continues
The magnificent Sky Blue Army turned out in their numbers but Coventry City couldn't send them home celebrating with full three points against a resilient MK Dons.
A total of 6,274 fans travelled to Stadium:MK to cheer Mark Robins's men to success, only to come away with a frustrating goalless draw as a first win on the road continues to evade the Sky Blues.
City had the better of the first half when the home side didn't have a single chance on goal but both sides had chances to win the game after the break, Jordy Hiwula missing a penalty and the Dons hitting the crossbar in a livelier and more open second 45.
Coventry enjoyed plenty of possession from the first whistle when they played some bright, attacking football but took their time to carve out any clear cut chances on goal, their first coming on 26 minutes when Liam Walsh slipped a lovely ball through to Callum O'Hare, with Jordan Shipley executing a smart dummy on its way, but the Aston Villa loan man's final sliding touch was blocked by a defender.
Seconds later the Sky Blues recycled the ball with Sam McCallum sending in a decent cross from the left which Amadou Bakayoko – in for the injured Matty Godden – headed wide of the left-hand post.
The full-back and striker combined again on the half hour when the big front man was left thumping the turf in frustration after sending his header narrowly wide for a second time, while Hiwula had a shot from the edge of the box deflected wide just before the break to end a frustrating 45 minutes for the visitors who enjoyed 56 per cent of the possession and had six attempts on goal, albeit none on target.
Robins's men were desperate for a spark to liven things up and that almost came in the shape of a goal early in the second half when Shipley hit a hard and low free-kick from 20 yards out that was denied by a brilliant save by Lee Nicholls, who dived to his left to push the ball out for a corner.
City then passed up a golden opportunity to get ahead when Hiwula was brought down by the keeper as he ran through, looking favourite to beat him, but the striker stepped up to take the resulting penalty which was saved low to the stopper's left.
Marko Marosi was called upon for the first time at the other end on 55 minutes when Hiram Boateng had the Dons' first attempt, the City keeper punching clear before City had a penalty appeal waved away on the hour when Alex Gilbey tackled Liam Walsh in the box.
Max Biamou and Gervane Kastaneer replaced Bakayoko and Hiwula midway through the second period when the game was a lot more open and looking like the result could go either way.
Dons' substitute Ben Reeves almost snatched victory four minutes from time when he let fly from 25 yards, beating Marosi but not the crossbar as he watched his powerful effort bounce away from danger.
But despite both sides battling on to try to win the game through four minutes of added time, City had to settle for a single point that was enough to take them back into the play-off places in sixth place.

'Being out of the workforce for over 20 years, I felt too old to be studying again, but I went to the Gordon information centre in Westfield Geelong to just get some information on where to start. I saw that they offered a course on Early Childhood Education and Care, so I went to the information evening about the Certificate III & ended up enrolling. I found the course & the teachers involved, to be absolutely amazing, extremely helpful & very encouraging. Upon completion of my Cert III in 2017, I was interested in furthering myself within this field, so with the encouragement from my teachers & my own determination, I enrolled in the Diploma level of Early Childhood Education and Care.
I was one of the lucky diploma students picked to go on the study tour to Cambodia in 2018, which was fantastic as well as being my first time outside of Australia. The Gordon is fantastic for providing opportunities like this.

High-performance scanning in a compact body
Versatile document handling
Wired and wireless connectivity
Nothing so compact scans so much
As you will no doubt agree, in every working environment, space is at a premium. And obstructions to smooth operations are not an option. So it is vital that your technology helps, rather than hinders, the way your business works, delivering the premium performance and space saving design you demand.
The KV-S1037 Series compact scanners deliver both in abundance, offering scanning versatility that outdoes anything else in this scanning category.
High-speed output
Alongside impressively compact dimensions, the KV-S1037 Series scanners deliver performance to match anything in the class.
Alongside an auto-document feeder (ADF) capacity of 50 sheets, the two models scan at up to 30ppm/60ipm @300dpi in colour, giving you the same speeds for both binary and colour documents.
Unmatched versatility
In terms of document and media handling, the KV-S1037 Series scanners are more than a match for the competition. Both can scan paper and card weighing anything between 20-413gsm and offer passport scanning as standard. With unlimited long-paper capability, the scanners handle documents ranging from invoices and medical scripts to ID cards.
Real-world reliability
The KV-S1037 Series scanners are designed to meet the rigorous demands of life in your industry.
Both have a daily duty of up to 3,000 pages per day and a roller replacement cycle of 100,000 pages.
For additional reliability, a double feed prevention roller system means fewer scanning delays,
and faster, smoother scanning operations.
Wireless makes the perfect connection
While both models in the series now feature USB3.0, the KV-S1037X also offers a built-in Gigabit Ethernet and IEEE802.11b/g/n WiFi, allowing you to connect directly to other devices without the need for cables.
Easier operation
The KV-S1037 Series scanners could not be easier to operate, thanks to single-touch scanning. You simply press one of the three preset buttons to scan and send the data to defined destinations. You do not even need to touch the scanner to operate these devices. For convenient manual paper scanning, you just insert your document directly into the ADF to start the scan.
Saving you vital space
They say the best things come in the smallest packages. That is certainly the case with the KV-S1037 Series compact scanners. Both models feature a compact body that can fit into confined, narrow spaces. Meaning you save space without compromising on performance.
Easy document management
With Panasonic Image Capture Plus technology, you can transfer scanned data to a PC in an image format. This means you can edit, switch or delete pages via a thumbnail interface. It also allows you to manage complicated scanned documents and file them easily.
Simplified scan settings
With these compact scanners, you can eliminate the possibility of problematic scan settings. An integrated auto preview function automatically adjusts whatever is scanned, offering nine possible candidate types. You can then select the most suitable image with a single click, making any further adjustments that might be required. So there is no need to waste time going through a trial-and-error process and highly legible electronic documents are produced, quickly and easily. Also, to save you time and effort, an auto rescan feature allows the user to adjust the image on a PC screen without rescanning the original document.

Fantagraphics to publish BTTM FDRS by Ezra Claytan Daniels & Ben Passmore
Fantagraphics hasannounced the acquisition of BTTM FDRS by writer Ezra Claytan Daniels and artist Ben Passmore. Out in Summer 2019, this shocking satire explores a world where gentrification and body horror collide in a rapidly changing Chicago.
Once a thriving working-class neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, The "Bottomyards" is now the definition of urban blight. When an aspiring fashion designer, Darla, and her image-obsessed BFF, Cynthia, descend upon the neighborhood in search of cheap rent, they discover something far more seductive… and deadly.
At its core, BTTM FDRS is an allegory for cultural appropriation, which first fears, then desires, then takes, then nullifies the object of appropriation without suffering personal consequence. Diverse, dynamic, and thought-provoking, BTTM FDRS aims to appeal to an audience that encompasses anyone who enjoys smart writing with thrilling visuals

What's it say about America when there are more qualified candidates for the Pro Football Hall of Fame than president of the United States?
Not only is John Lynch far better at playing cover-2 than Hillary Clinton, he might be better equipped to sit in the Oval Office than Donald Trump.
Please forgive me. I know your beef: Stick to sports. Right?
But on the eve of the Super Bowl, football becomes all about politics, when 47 Hall of Fame electors debate in a room for eight hours to decide which of your favorite players are deemed immortal, as opposed to merely darn good.
Then, for weeks on end, NFL fans across the country complain about the inane outcome of the vote and how the voting system is rigged. It's a pretty fair summation of the current state of politics in America, don't you think?
The Hall's induction Class of 2018 is an amazing collection of talent, including Ray Lewis, Randy Moss and Brian Dawkins, who delivered the last 188 soul-rattling tackles of his brilliant career for the Broncos. So what's there to be upset about?
Plenty. In Denver, we're 100 percent convinced it's a football injustice that Broncos owner Pat Bowlen has yet to be enshrined in Canton, Ohio, just as in Washington, D.C., there are folks demanding a recount because offensive tackle Joe Jacoby can't kick down the door to the Hall.
We the people … are aggrieved. We like football. But we love to gripe.
As best I understand it, they are holding the Super Bowl in Minneapolis, where the high temperature Sunday is predicted to be a balmy 6 degrees, so Sports Illustrated writer extraordinaire Peter King could go ice fishing before he messed over your favorite gridiron giant in the Hall of Fame voting.
The New England Patriots, who are less popular with U.S. citizens than the president, have been invited to smear the Philadelphia Eagles in the big game, primarily so Tom Brady can vanquish Nick Foles (who?), after beating Marcus Mariota (what?) and Blake Bortles (why?), thus proving Handsome Tom is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the most talented quarterback ever to throw a football, whether it's inflated to regulation size or not.
Broncos Country had the great displeasure this season of watching both the Patriots and Eagles trounce Denver with our own eyes, by a cumulative score of 92-39. Philadelphia was the best NFL team I saw in person. If quarterback Carson Wentz had not gone down with a knee injury, I'd say the Eagles were a lock to win, but … oh, what the heck, let's call it Philadelphia 27, New England 24.
Lynch owns one championship ring, while Brady celebrated last season by taking home his fifth ring, which gleamed with 283 snarky diamonds. So am I to assume Brady is five, maybe six times the football player that Lynch ever was? That's absurd. Yet we look to the Super Bowl to prop up our Hall of Fame arguments, perhaps because it's easier than slogging through hours of video from all those regular-season games in September, October, November and December.
In my book, Terrell Davis was a no-doubter for the Hall of Fame from the time he carried John Elway and the Broncos to victories in the Super Bowl that had previously been out of the strong-armed quarterback's grasp. Yes, Davis is a member of the NFL's exclusive 2,000-yard rushing club, but I'm convinced what pushed his candidacy for the Hall over the top in 2017 was his visibility on the NFL Network, with a television career that's now longer than his previous, injury-shortened life as a pro running back.
The moral of the story? Get enough meaningful face time in front of the voters on TV, and you can get elected to the Hall of Fame or the White House. That's politics.

bill-swift - April 25, 2016
Ashley Greene has held a special place in my mind, body and soul for many years now, since Twilight when the vastly underrated hottie coming out of that first movie made her way into the public consciousness. It's been a fun ride ever since, seeing the boobtastic beauty in various states of undress, but only once ever without clothes on, in a series of leaked photos that had legal cease and desist letters flying around Hollywood via pneumatic tube. Those were the days, before the FBI started knocking down doors and celebrities drove privacy laws on encryption that have thwarted far more vital national security actions. Now, we get a chance to see Ashley topless for real and official for the first time in the Audience Network show, Rogue. A big boost indeed to that lesser known network.
Joining Ashley this week in the Boob Tube Roundup, Catriona Balfe in Outlander on Starz, Carice van Houten topless in the opening episode of Season 6 of Game of Thrones on HBO, and a couple or three hotties from House of Lies on Showtime, vastly underrated for its contribution to skin on the small screen. While still trembling from views of a topless Ashley Greene, this entire week was one big celebration of thespianic beauties baring their sweet teats. Dig in. Enjoy.

Graduation season is upon us. Your niece is finishing high school. Your neighbor's son is graduating from Tulane. Your boss just got her second Master's. How did it get to be that the obvious gift for all of these people is... a Dr. Seuss book?
And then: Vulture, this week, published a click-bait listicle ranking all the HBO shows ever. The Nose took the bait and clicked. And... Six Feet Under didn't make the top ten? Girls isn't in the top 25? John from Cincinnati made the top 30? Did anybody even understand that show?
And speaking of shows, George Clooney and Grant Heslov's new Hulu miniseries is a four-and-a-half-hour, six-episode adaption of Joseph Heller's Catch-22. Is that what the world needed right now?
