Political correctness and freedom of speech
The world could be very different from the way we perceive it to be. The concept of the "normal" and the "possible" depends on the perception that each one of us has of reality, whether it is being on a personal or on a collective scale. Focusing on how the perception of reality relates to the freedom of expression, we will see the role that political correctness plays in our day-to-day life in this regard.
The "normal" is what we normally experience
Since we come to life we start experiencing the world and constructing our reality in a certain way. Our thoughts, ideas, and behaviors respond to the way we see the world. For instance, if an individual grows up in a violent and competitive environment, violence and competition would be the norm and thus a peaceful, cooperative behavior may be considered a strange thing. On the other hand, if we took an individual who grew up in a peaceful and cooperating environment, the use of violence would be nonsense and regarded as something negative. It must then be understood that the "normal" is what we normally experience and it can vary from one person to another. In other words, the "normal" depends and responds to each one's construction of reality.
The "possible" is what we accept as possible
Taking the previous into consideration, one can assume that what is possible for those individuals having different constructs of reality and concepts of "normal" also differs. Let us consider again the example of two individuals. The first one who grew up in a materialistic environment and his or her greatest aspirations are limited to material things. The second one was raised in a family that practiced values such as love and humanity for which spiritual expansion was a priority. While for the first one what is possible may be reduced to what he or she can buy with money or own, for the second one there might be a much wider range of possibilities, apart from the material ones. Therefore, one might come to the conclusion that each one's reality constructions also depends on the predisposition of accepting new possibilities.
Limiting perception and possibility: a progressive assault on freedom of speech
Censorship and lack of freedom of expression have become a reality in nowadays societies. Free expression and free opinion rights are being continuously violated before the eyes of a big majority of the population that does not question when it comes to retrieving information from the internet. The fact is that the information available on the internet is being limited. Also, the news people have access to are gradually being conferred to the mainstream version. The reason for this is that well-known companies such as Google, Facebook and Twitter are carrying out a progressive and systematic assault on the free flow of information on the internet. The way this is being done is through constant censorship of specific subjects, news, words, and phrases in the name of discrimination, fake news, and political incorrectness. Therefore, the power to control what people can hear, read and watch is on the hands of a few companies ruling search engines, media, and main social networks. It might then be concluded that the reactions, thoughts, and decisions made by the population are based on the available sources only and that people's perception of reality intended to be dangerously reduced to the mainstream vision. Core to all this is the existence of the internet. There is a fervent wish for all existing information to be progressively transferred to the digital format. Once the information has become digital, algorithms can be applied and the potential to censor words, subjects and sites increases. The more information is in digital format the easiest to censor and control the flow of information that people have access to.
Political correctness
In the past few years companies like Google and Facebook, along with the mainstream media, have contributed to a progressive change in the societies' perception of reality, including changes in the understanding of common concepts. One of the decisive elements that contribute to this change is the agenda for the politically correct language, which can be described as 'the language that seems intended to give the least amount of offense, especially when describing groups identified by external markers such as race, gender, culture, or sexual orientation.' Those who are most strongly opposed to political correctness argue that it is a form to persuade people to be offended by more things so that there can be an excuse to censor people's views. It must be noted that the standards for the consideration of a speech as offensive for certain communities are set by the same companies that implement this agenda.
In addition to this, it may seem somehow curious how mainstream media and social networks are actually encouraging people to feel more offended by the use of certain terms that until now had been generic and did not use to offend anyone. A clear example of this is the fact that if someone uses the term 'disabled' it might be considered disrespectful and politically correct terms such as 'physically challenged' or 'differently-abled' would be preferred. In the same line, if a black person uses the term 'black' to refer to someone it would not be considered an offense, but if the person employing the word is not black, they might be labeled racist. If we applied a politically correct language, a suitable term for black would be for instance 'dark-featured.' In the end, we find how society increasingly demands the use of the new politically correct terms to the detriment of the traditional ones, resulting in the fact that if someone is not politically correct they may be labeled rude, racist and sexist among others.
Silence, compliance, and lack of freedom
One of the outcomes of political correctness is the deletion of genuine speech, double standards and the gradual silencing of the population. On most occasions, the response from society is silence. However, to remain silent means compliance, which eventually turns into a lack of freedom of expression. The causes may be due to the fear of being dismissed, as people who normally question the norm-establishment view are generally intimidated by their own society. This being said, I suggest that the solution starts with raising awareness about the issue so that more people are conscious of the effects of political correctness in our daily life.

Biden, Giuliani Discuss Health Care
By Armen Hareyan G+ Oct 30 2007 - 1:52pm
Summaries of recent developments in the presidential campaign related to health care appear below.
- Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.): Biden on Friday at a Manchester, N.H., forum sponsored by Divided We Fail, a campaign launched by AARPand other groups that seeks to focus the 2008 presidential election onhealth care and financial security issues, discussed his health care proposal, the AP/Wilmington News Journalreports. According to Biden, the proposal, which would cost between $80billion and $110 billion annually, would not require U.S. residents toobtain health insurance. He said, "Americans will not accept mandates,"adding, "America is not prepared for that to happen. You will never getit passed. We are different and independent in a way that othercountries aren't." In addition, Biden said that a provision in theproposal under which the federal government would cover 75% ofcatastrophic health care costs -- medical bills that exceed $50,000 --would reduce health insurance premiums for companies and individuals.Biden also promoted a provision in the proposal that would allowindividuals between ages 55 and 64 to pay to participate in Medicare(Ramer, AP/Wilmington News Journal, 10/27).
- Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R): Giuliani on Monday released a new radio advertisement to promote his health care proposal in which he discusses his experience with prostate cancer, Long Island Newsday reports (Thomas, Long Island Newsday,10/30). In the ad, which will begin to air on Tuesday in New Hampshire,Giuliani says, "I had prostate cancer, five, six years ago. My chanceof surviving cancer, and thank God I was cured of it, in the UnitedStates: 82%," adding, "My chances of surviving prostate cancer inEngland: only 44% under socialized medicine" (Campanile, New York Post,10/30). He adds that his health care proposal would lead to a "marketof 50, 60 million Americans buying their own health insurance, withouta mandate" and that the "cost of health insurance will come down andthe quality will come up" as a result. Under the proposal, familiescould receive tax deductions of as much as $15,000 to purchase privatehealth insurance. In addition, Giuliani in the ad criticizes healthcare proposals offered by Democratic presidential candidates as"socialized medicine." He says, "Government has never been able toreduce costs. Government never increases quality," adding, "We have thebest health care system in the world. We just have to make it better"(Curl, Washington Times, 10/30).

Sometimes you just need a little something to inspire creativity. Here are six words guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing.
Words to Inspire
1. Meraki
(n.): The soul, creativity, or love put into something; the essence of yourself that is put into your work.

2. Elysian
(adj.): Creative or beautiful; divinely inspired; peaceful and perfect.
In classical Greek mythology, the Elysian Fields refer to a paradise of heroes immortalized by the gods.
Use it: We're getting married on a mountain with elysian views.
3. Palinoia
(n.): The obsessive repetition of an act until it's mastered or perfect.
But, don't let this word make you nervous. It's more about passion than obsession.
Use it: She's a skillful dancer thanks to years of training and intense palinoia.
4. Chimerical
(adj.): Created by unchecked inspiration; fantastically visionary or highly improbable.
Another Greek mythological term, the Chimera was a fire-breathing monster made from the parts of multiple animals.

So, there you have it: six words to inspire you to further your making, creating, and imagining. See if you can use them all in a single sentence and leave it in the comments (we couldn't do it!).

Aggregated Micro Power Holdings PLC (LON:AMPH) shares brightened on Thursday after its off balance sheet vehicle, Aggregated Micro Power Infrastructure 2 PLC (AMPIL), raised £15.1mln in the form of 8% loan notes.
The clean energy specialist said the total notes in issue amounted to £67mln, with the additional funds allowing AMPIL to diversify and grow its clean energy portfolio while AMPH would generate development fees from its projects pipeline.
READ: Aggregated Micro Power hit by mild winter
Richard Burrell, AMPH's chief executive, said the fundraise was "another milestone" for the company and the funding would underpin progress in its projects division, which had been performing "ahead of expectations".
He added that AMPIL was now reaching "institutional scale" which was "very positive" for future fundraisings.
In mid-morning trading, shares were up 1.4% at 74p.

500 types of shots (many involving fire), all for two Euros each
People love Chupitos. Any American who has visited Barcelona most likely ended up here at some point, even though it's an impossibly small and narrow bar. The size keeps it from becoming totally overrun with tourists, as some locals do come here for incandescent drinks or shots on fire now and then. Speaking of the fire, most of the shots you order involve it. A lot of them are sugary, too, (and as a result, pretty yummy) although if you ask for a straight shot of something or a more common drink, they'll gladly serve it up to you. Just whatever you do, don't order the Monica Lewinsky… at least for yourself. If you want to pull an embarrassing prank on a friend and you are confident they can publicly handle what an exploding beer and the name "Monica Lewinsky" might have in common, then order one for him or her.

Books May 1985
A review of Andrew Jackson by Robert Remini.
Political biographies are not what they once were. Often these days they are as indigestible as meticulous scholarship, uninspired by intellectual daring, can manage. There are not many of us, I suspect, who turn to them the way Harry Truman is said to have turned to Plutarch: in order to understand a friend or enemy by learning to read his soul.
Robert V. Remini's biography of Andrew Jackson, now complete with a third volume, Andrew Jackson and the Course of American Democracy: 1833-1845, seems to me a partial exception to this.[1] Remini's work is as fine as any the contemporary historical establishment can claim. It is fair-minded, colloquial, urbane, and up to the best standards of scholarship. What is more, Remini has a large point to make about Jackson and about American history. Certainly if any one recent work allows us to ask what keeps...

I ordered a Pebble smartwatch as a Christmas Present
to myself from my wife. Caught the Black Friday sale, which was even better. It took about a month to get here, even though Pebble is based in the US, all the watches are shipped direct from Singapore.
The watch itself is very nice, it's black hard plastic, with a mirror-like surface. It has an e-Ink display, which makes for a very long battery life. It averages two to three days on a charge, that's with everything updating, and a "classic" face that updates every second. I've since started using the text face which lasts an extra day.
I had bought a Sony LiveView when they came out, that isn't even on the same playing field. The LiveView was literally just a bluetooth display, it couldn't even tell time without being connected to the phone. The Pebble on the other hand, runs a Linux (of course) RTOS, and is capable of functioning as a standalone unit.
One surprise was the Pebble's charger. The LiveView also had to be removed from the strap to charge, and had to charge daily. The Pebble is waterproof so they couldn't really put a port on there. There's two terminals on the left hand side, and two magnets. The charger attaches magnetically to the watch, with USB on the other end. The strap stays on. If I have one complaint, it's actually the strap that came with the watch. It is rubber, and feels cheap. They're very upfront with the dimensions, and encourage personalizing it with your own strap so I had already made a leather strap before the Pebble got here.
It shows right on the watch, and vibrates when someone is calling, or when a text message or email is coming in. It's unbelievable how convenient it is to not have to pull out my phone, especially when at the store, or driving. That was good enough out of the box, but the real fun came with the 2.0 Beta software. Pebble has released a developer API allowing anyone to write apps that run right on the watch! So far I can dial my phone and answer calls, but it's a short stretch to controlling lighting in my house from the watch.
I had been keeping an eye on them since the original kickstarter campaign, but couldn't really justify the price until now, especially never having the chance to see one let alone use it. Having now used one, I can honestly say it's a "shut up and take my money" kind of thing.

Earlier in the day, the Attack acquired Propp – 6'2, 195lbs goaltender out of Milton, ON – from the Barrie Colts in exchange for the Erie Otters' 2nd Round Pick in the 2019 OHL Priority Selection, as well as Owen Sound's 5th round pick in 2019 and 7th round pick in 2020.
Lyle, a native of North Bay, was the Battalion's 1st round pick (18th overall) in the 2015 OHL Priority Selection. In 111 career Ontario Hockey League games, he was scored seven goals while adding 30 assists. In nine games so far this season, Lyle found the back of the net twice.
Of Lyle, DeGray said "he's a strong, puck moving defenceman that brings a lot to our back end. Being a right handed shot helps add depth to our blueline and we think he'll fit in fantastically in our dressing room."Lyle will not be in uniform when the Attack take on the Otters in Erie this evening, and is expected to join his teammates for practice on Monday, Oct. 23.
Puck drop at the Erie Insurance Arena is slated for 5:00pm and can be viewed live on Rogers Local 53 or listened to live on Kia of Owen Sound/Terry's Trailer Service Bear Radio.
This season of Attack Hockey is brought to you by Lerner's Personal Injury Lawyers and Bertrand & Muzzell Paralegal Services.

Lagoon Design
In June 2014, Comstock Construction recommended to the Spring Prairie Hutterite Colony that they retain Interstate Engineering to perform a design review of their wastewater stabilization ponds. At the time, the Colony had been working for two years on building their own centralized wastewater collection and treatment system. Construction had been performed based on drawings prepared by another consultant and approved by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) with a permit specific deadline requiring completion by October 31, 2014.
The Colony was having difficulty constructing the two-cell, five-acre lagoon system and was not receiving satisfactory support from their current consultant. After a site visit and review of the design drawings, Interstate Engineering provided recommendations but declined the offer to take over the project. Interstate Engineering suggested that the Colony continue with their current engineer. In response, the Colony terminated their relationship with their current engineer and repeated their request to Interstate Engineering, which was accepted. Over the course of four months, Interstate Engineering performed a variety of tasks to assist the Colony. These included establishing benchmarks; geomembrane installation CQA; leak testing; and final recommendation to place in service.
Benchmarks had not been provided for the project by the original design engineer and the existing design information conflicted with itself. Upon commencement of work, Interstate Engineering surveyors established control for the site and performed a topographic survey of the pond as currently constructed. A three-dimensional model of the topographic survey and a modified pond design was prepared by Interstate Engineering staff. The design elevation of the pond was adjusted to minimize earthwork to reach the new Interstate Engineering design grades. The proposed design by Interstate Engineering was submitted to the MPCA and then approved for construction. The Colony retained Comstock Construction to do the fine grading work required to reach the approved pond grades. Interstate Engineering provided a three-dimensional model of the lagoon design so that Comstock Construction could use GPS guided equipment to complete the work.
Geomembrane Installation CQA
The MPCA requires full-time geomembrane installation construction observation. Prior to commencement of the geomembrane installation, Interstate Engineering reviewed the already contracted installer's agreement with the Colony. Their proposed installation specifications did not comply with the MPCA requirements but met industry standards. Interstate Engineering worked through the differences with all parties to ensure that the MPCA would accept the work as installed. Upon commencement of work, Interstate Engineering furnished full-time construction observation for the 100-mil High-Density Polyethylene liner. Critical components of the work included trial welds; non-destructive and destructive sample testing. There were some failing trial welds, destructive and non-destructive test results. Interstate Engineering observed correction to failing welds to verify conformance with the project specifications. For example, the 100-mil liner is uncommon, and the installer had difficulties maintaining an air channel in their double seam fusion welding devices for non-destruct air testing. Upon completion of geomembrane installation, Interstate Engineering wrote a documentation letter requesting MPCA approval for the Colony to proceed with the following stage of the project – leak testing.
Leak Testing
The MPCA requires leak testing for new lagoon cells to demonstrate performance-based statutory requirements of a maximum leak rate of 500 gallons per acre per day based on an 85% confidence interval. Interstate Engineering staff established a test plan and collected water level data in three barrel sets (as shown in the photo) for each pond for approximately three weeks. Based on the testing standards, the test passed one day after the minimum testing period elapsed.
Letter of Recommendation
Upon completion of the leak test, Interstate Engineering wrote a letter to the MPCA summarizing the results of the leak test and recommending approval and authorization to commence operation of the lagoons. The MPCA authorized the Colony to commence operations.
Interstate Engineering provided full-service engineering for the Spring Prairie Hutterite Colony. In this unique situation, Interstate Engineering worked on a tight schedule to assist in completing a project that was designed and permitted by a different company to meet a client's needs.


text: Well Angela came down to give a great DBPro presentation at the TFS SIG in Indy last night. It was a great time. It was a little nerve racking at first, we were locked out of the facility and Angela's badge did not work, but we finally got in. We had folks in all the way from Decatur, Illinois. Awesome, thanks guys!! What I find to be absolutely fantastic (about as much as Angela's talk) was that the majority of the group hung out afterwards and broke up into small groups to chat TFS stuff. It was exhilarating to stand back and here all the chatter going on. Cube talk here, Tester tools talk there. Man that is what its all about. Well I am hoping next month for a repeat performance. Also keep your eyes out for me to possibly be in Chicago at their TFS group soon.

His private trumpet students are some of the without a doubt the finest trumpet players I have seen in my career.. In a jazz jam I recently attended, I was truly inspired when student after student of Dorian's took the stage, stood next to Dorian and with their mentor at their side they played with confidence and style. I am genuinely amazed at Dorian's ability to draw the very best from his students and know that he will continue to blend that one-on-one methodology with his classroom and ensemble duties."

Apple Unveils Apple TV+ and Apple TV Channels
Apple has unveiled Apple TV+, a streaming service full of original shows, movies, and documentaries. This will be Netflix without the filler, with Apple going all-in on original content you'll only be able to watch through Apple TV+.
Streaming Services Switch to Original Content
When streaming services first took off, they were filled with old shows people wanted to watch again. However, now, with Netflix and Amazon leading the way, streaming services are packed with original shows you can't see anywhere else.
The idea is to make a subscription to Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu an essential rather than a luxury. And Netflix in particular has spent a small fortune on original content Netflix Raises Prices to Fund More Original Content If you're currently subscribed to Netflix then you should prepare yourself to start paying more for the privilege. Because Netflix is raising the price of two of its three plans in several countries. Read More in the hopes of retaining existing customers and enticing new subscribers.
And now Apple is joining the party.
Apple TV+ Bags a Host of Celebrities
Apple is pitching Apple TV+ as "the new home for the world's most creative storytellers". Once launched, the service will feature a host of "exclusive original shows, movies and documentaries". And the line-up of actors and directors involved is impressive.
Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, J.J. Abrams, Jason Momoa, and M. Night Shyamalan, are among the big names who have signed up to star in, direct, or produce original content for Apple TV+.
Details on the content is thin on the ground at this stage, but Spielberg will be rebooting Amazing Stories and Aniston and Witherspoon will be starring in a drama called The Morning Show. Apple is rumored to be spending billions on this original content.
Apple TV+ is due to launch in the fall. It will be available in 100+ countries, be completely ad-free, and offer downloads for offline viewing. You'll be able to access Apple TV+ through the new Apple TV app on iOS, macOS, smart TVs, and streaming devices.
Apple TV Channels Steals Amazon's Idea
The one thing Apple hasn't disclosed is the price of Apple TV+. It could be that the company is still working out how much it needs to charge to claw back the amount of money it's investing. After all, Netflix keeps raising prices to pay for original content.
Apple also revealed a new version of the Apple TV app, plus Apple TV channels. The latter means you'll be able to subscribe to premium services such as HBO and Showtime all within the app. In the same way you can using Amazon Prime Video Channels 8 Amazon Prime TV Channels Actually Worth Watching Amazon recently added about 30 TV channels that you can subscribe to for an additional monthly fee, but are they worth subscribing to? Here are eight that could be worth your time and money. Read More .

The snowing doesn't seem to ever stop…
We get more and more and more snow. All the plowing of the roads and shoveling snow away from the roofs will get very expensive for our housing cooperative. Some of the snow we won't get rid of until spring when it melts by itself. Like outside my kitchen window (the one with the light in the window, behind the heap of snow) for example.
That heap of snow came from the shoveling of the roof. Under it I have (had?) two very small bushes. In the corner there is (was?) a larger bush. Do I still have those by spring? Remains to be seen.
So far the largest heaps of snow somehow have missed the berry-bushes this side of the tree. It just envelopes them, which is actually good for protection. I miss two of them though behind the tree. They are under there somewhere. Just like my flowerbeds.
The roof shovelers and the plowers will be back on duty tomorrow morning to continue. It has to be done. We don't want our roofs to get damaged.
Today it rained, tomorrow it will be sun and temperatures above 0°C (so they say – I'll believe that when I see it), and then it will be cold again and whatever melted will freeze and stick to roofs and roads.
There is also a problem with what to do with all the snow and where to put it. We are running out of places where to put it.
Whoever thought that the winter of 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 were snowy… that was nothing compared to this winter. It was colder then though.

When our team arrived in Costa Rica in March of this year, we didn't know what to expect. With support from the likes of Red Bull, Ryan Sheckler, We Journey and Glasswing International, the construction of our Luzo Skatepark brought life to a community that deserved it, and freedom to a generation that craved it. We had no idea that our journey would make way for the multitude of friendships that followed.
One of those relationships has been with the San Rafael Extremo group. Comprised of about 30 middle to high school-aged students, its mission is to use the power of action sports to inspire kids, encouraging them to stay off the streets and away from the harmful drug and gang-infested culture that persists.
With the completion of our skatepark serving the same area as San Rafael Extremo, its students have already implemented the skatepark into their daily lives, sending us film or footage updates of newest tricks they've landed. We've made sure to keep inspiring the SRE students with weekly board challenges, empowering them to continue feeding their passions. In the name of developing our newly formed friendship across cultures, we recently 'sat down' with David Gomez– one of SRE's own- uncovering his passion for skate and how the LuZO Skatepark has impacted his life:
Sean co-founded the non-profit, "A Walk on Water", which specializes in Ocean and Surf Therapy for people needing the healing powers of the ocean. A Walk on Water was founded in 2012 by four men who shared the belief that the ocean's healing powers could help people. They all had a passion for Surf Therapy and giving back, so they wanted to make it accessible to children who needed it in the USA.

Problem: What problem is this initiative trying to address?East Pokot has a population of 166,000 and less than 10% are in permanent homes while the 90% live in stick houses which are temporary homes because of pastoral migration in search of pastures and water. East Pokot has experienced prolonged drought and inter-ethnic conflicts for the last 6 years and as consequence, deaths are commonplace. World Vision Kenya describes it as one of the worst situation in the last 19.5 years. Women and children are
Solution Summary: What is the proposed solution? What do you see as its most promising aspects for creating shared value?The proposed solution is sand dam technology. The beauty of this technology is that it seeks to bring adaptability to unfavorable climatic changes across the globe. Sand dam technology is the most sustainable model of rainwater harvesting in drought-prone regions since it has virtually zero maintenance cost. It is technology that seeks to enrich the water table of an arid area over time by storing water in the sand hence preventing the extreme rates of evaporation in such regions. An example of Natan village in East Pokot Sub County in Kenya provides proof of the viability of this technology. Since the implementation of this technology in Natan, 1000 households immediately settled in Natan Village, approximately 100,000 livestock benefited from the available water source and a projected population of 5,000 Pokots' are expected to permanently settle in Natan.
Impact: What is the impact of the work to date? Specify both the social and the environmental impact of your workSavinglives: By December 2016, 90% of water sources in East Pokot dried up. Migration started in search of pastures and water. On January 10 2017, Kenyan President declared drought a national disaster. Families migrated towards Natan village. Natan is the only place with Sand Dam harvested water. Food security: Introduction of a 40 Acre community drip irrigation resulted in the transformation of 587 households from being pastoralists to full-time farmers. Promotion of education: Impact of the Natan sand dam was access to clean water for people, livestock and farms. Natan primary school has been born from the sand dam success. 60% of Pokot children never attend school. Literacy rate is 4%. Local ecology transformation: The water held behind the dam spreads horizontally creating a permanent increase in the water table, allowing trees grow naturally and transforming arid lands into farms.
Financial sustainability plan: How is this initiative financially supported? How will you ensure its financial sustainability long-term?Sand dams require no maintenance and are sustainable with minimum effort. Sand Dam technology also depends on community involvement. This is a basic requirement for all successful and sustainable projects beyond funding period. Community participation in design, implementation and sustainability of sand dam structures eliminate the need for continued financial support from donors. Our plan is to empower Natan people to understand the co
Unique value proposition: What makes your initiative innovative? How does your project differ from other organizations working in the same field?Sand Dam technology is affordable to mass poor and best for drylands and volcano belt areas.
Founding story: Share a story about the "Aha!" moment that sparked the beginning of this initiative.In 2014, HAO and Rotary Club of Port Orchard, USA, undertook a pilot project focusing on equitable community access to safe water, improved sanitation and hygiene and community ability to develop and maintain sustainable water and sanitation systems. The project targeted pastoral communities.It is discovered that80-90% of the rivers there are seasonal and 70-80% of water facilities dry up each dry season. Underground water harvesting in regions along Rift Valley exhibits high-risk factor of up to 90% due to active volcano activities. Local communities lack skills and resources necessary to maintain operationalization of already drilled boreholes and 1 of known 7 boreholes drilled in East Pokot according to information from County Officials

Whether it's from Trump or your own boss, it's always difficult to hear: You're fired
November 2, 2004
Approaching the age of 64, Lowell Shatraw of Greeley knows a few things in life. He's good at what he does in the information technology field and retirement is not in his business plan.
He's got one major strike against him: He was laid off in July in a market saturated with IT professionals.
He remembers July 12 as clear as yesterday. He was in the middle of deploying software in a classroom for a technology giant in northern Colorado when his supervisor took him aside to tell him that after seven years with his company, Shatraw was laid off because of company cutbacks.
"The site manager came over and asked if I had a minute," Shatraw said. "We walked into a room and he said, 'Well, I gotta let you go.' "
Being fired is one of those ugly life experiences that can make or break an employee or a company. The trick is for both sides to get over it quickly and move on.
With layoffs occurring throughout northern Colorado and economists predicting a touch-and-go economy next year, it's likely that occasional layoffs will continue. Last March, unemployment rates for Weld County hit 6.4 percent — higher than the national rate of 6 percent — while Larimer County's rate was 5.1 percent.

Layoffs hurt the worst, as employees who love their jobs are sent packing after years of service. Like Shatraw, employees are left to wonder about their worth, and then spend much of their free time looking for new work in a highly competitive labor market.
Other layoffs are different. They are necessary because some people slack off, or have trouble learning, or in general are not the right fits for the jobs they're in.
Adam Schuster, 23, a senior at the University of Northern Colorado, did his best to get the boot a few months ago. So, when his name didn't appear on the schedule one day at his restaurant job, he didn't need those two nasty words to see the writing on the wall.
"We all knew I was burned out and I wasn't putting in 100 percent," Schuster said. "I probably should have confronted the situation before there were so few alternatives left. I should have recognized the situation and resigned."
For Schuster, it was a lesson learned. In future jobs, he said, he'll find something he's passionate about, like Shatraw, who has no plans of trying something new. He's been a systems administrator since 1981.
Shatraw's ego was hurt a bit when he was let go, but he won't let it get him down. He continues to have a tough time finding a job with up to 20 applications a week and four resumes hitting different employer audiences. He's signed up for classes and hopes to get the degrees and certificates that most employers prefer these days over his 20-plus years of experience.
His time may come, though.
"The average search right now for people is probably six months," said Dawn Mular of Brighton, who started Helping Friends, an online career network. In 2001, she had to lay off 50 percent of her own IT staff at Sun Microsystems in Broomfield. "In 2001 and 2002, the average search was eight to 12 months in IT."
Most job coaches tell people to look at being fired as an opportunity. But, if they want to stay in Colorado, they may have to wait a while.
"There are jobs to be had," Mular said. "You may have to make compromises."
That may also mean abandoning the traditional job search of sending out tons of resumes and hoping for a response. Most companies these days won't advertise job openings.
"It costs them more to advertise in the paper and screen people who are not qualified," Mular said. "In this market, they don't need to do a lot more than advertise on their own Web sites."
The key is networking, Mular said: "Personal relationships will get you in the door before the door even opens."

A numerical investigation of flowfield modification in high-speed airbreathing inlets using energy deposition
Keywords and Phrases
Flowfield modification; Inlet unstart
"Energy deposition in front of dual-mode ram/scramjet engines is numerically investigated utilizing two-dimensional CFD for its potential to modify inlet/isolator flow-fields for engine start/unstart control and for its general potential for generating large-scale flow-field modification in such flows. A simplified (high Mach number) constant-area duct geometry is initially defined in order to test the feasibility of the concept; the results from this initial investigation demonstrates possible beneficial effects of depositing energy upstream of a thermally choked duct in terms of causing massive changes in flow patterns, including the reestablishment of supersonic flow throughout the duct. This study is followed by the definition of a realistic high-speed engine domain focusing on the lower external and internal engine side of a hypersonic vehicle. A quasi-one-dimensional solver is constructed and used to establish approximate understanding of thermal choking limits in the defined geometry. A CFD investigation of this actual engine geometry is performed in which heating blocks are used to simulate fuel-air combustion in the engine combustor. Actual choking limits are established and a base-line case defined with substantial (choked flow) upstream interaction. A range of energy deposition cases are then run in order to assess the use of upstream energy deposition for facilititating restarting an unstarted engine, mitigating unstart, and generating large-scale flow-field modification in the isolator/inlet of a dual-mode ram/scramjet engine. Results indicate that, although the ability to actually increase performance of an unstarted engine through the use of upstream energy deposition is minimal, there is indication that the use of such a technique for generating a "virtual cowl" and/or a "virtual" isolator (including throats, etc.) is possible"--Abstract, page iii.

Lahore Police on high alert following Karachi CID building bomb attackBy ANI
Saturday, November 13, 2010
LAHORE - The Lahore Police have beefed up their security around important government and commercial buildings in the city following the gun and bomb attacks on the CID Police Headquarters in Karachi on Thursday night.
Police sources revealed that snap checking had been intensified at all entry and exit points of the Punjab capital, and that they had also been directed to carry out thorough searching of all vehicles, The Nation reported.
While the police patrolling is heightened in the city, senior police officers at the division level have been strictly directed to monitor security arrangements by conducting surprise visits in their respective areas.
According to a circular issued in this regard, plain-clothed policemen would be deployed around the leading commercial and key government installations to keep a check on any activity of miscreants.
Round-the-clock patrolling has been ordered around important buildings located in posh and sensitive areas. The police deployment around shopping malls and commercial centres has also been enhanced to avoid any untoward incident.
Official sources claimed that heavy contingents had been deployed around religious places and shrines as well in a bid to thwart any possible terror attack. (ANI)

Three Overflows
November 11, 2019 by Robin Steinweg
Filed under Daily Devotions, Family
By Robin J. Steinweg –
1. A fizzy hissing in the background crescendos within seconds to a fizzy, hissy crackling. A nasty odor assaults the nostrils before my frantic rush can prevent its cause. It's not the first time I forgot to set the timer on the stove! Now breakfast is over—over the pot, the burner, the counter, the floor…
2. I see it coming and I leap to prevent it—the action switches to slow motion. My toddler has developed the strength and dexterity to remove the lid from a jar of pickled beets (a feat I have yet to master without benefit of a crowbar). A distant voice (my own) cries, "N-n-n-n-n-n-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!" I dive (still in slow-mo) like a 275-pound receiver to catch the 12 ounces of Red-Stain-in-a-Bottle before the contents hit the floor. In seconds it, too, is over—over the table, the high chair, the beige carpet and me.
3. Like the jar of pickled beets, I am emptied. I wait. I set no timer. My Bible lies on my lap, still open to the passage I have read. I sense a crescendo of joy bubbling up into awe, gratitude and praise. I don't rush to prevent it spilling over—over me, under me, around me—I dive deeper. I am a different kind of receiver today. This overflow will result in a sweet fragrance. It can cleanse the deepest stain. No chaos or mess this time.
The Spirit of God fills me to overflowing. In this way, He slakes the thirst, satisfies the hunger and meets the needs of those around me.
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, empty me of myself and fill me to overflowing with Yourself: Your Word, Your way, Your life. Spill out to bless those around me. I ask in Jesus' name to be a fragrant offering to You.
BIBLE VERSE: "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint me with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" (Psalm 23:5-6 NIV).

Hope Solo's suspension from US Soccer is uncalled for
September 1, 2016
Inequality comes in many different forms, and sometimes in unexpected ways. A recent example of this is the controversy surrounding Hope Solo, one of the world's best goalkeepers, and a player on the Unites States women's soccer team.
Recently, her contract was terminated with the national team and she was given a six month suspension by US Soccer. This was done in response to few comments she made about the Swedish soccer team after losing to them in the quarterfinals of the Olympics.
The comments themselves did not deserve the punishment they received. She called the Swedish team "cowards" because they won off of penalty kicks. While not the best sportsmanship, this comment should have received (at most) a slap on the wrist, or a very short suspension. She didn't deserve to have her contract terminated.
US Soccer then said that her punishment was because of a series of events.
This is a valid point. Hope Solo has been consistently surrounded by controversy. She has been suspended before, has domestic violence charges against her, along with a plethora of other such offenses. She is far from a model player in this aspect.
Yet, she also is a world record holder in many areas, a decorated olympian, and has won the golden glove award twice. This makes her case a debate between whether it's more important to be a good player, or a good role model.
To fully answer this debate some background is necessary. This is not just the case of a women's soccer suspension, it is yet another example of the extreme inequality women face in athletics. Women athletes are paid significantly less than their male counterparts. This was shown when members of the US women's soccer team filed a complaint for receiving less pay than the male team, even though the women's team brings in more revenue.
The Rio Olympics had many examples of sexism and male privilege. Fox News had a commentary on why female Olympians should wear makeup when they compete. NBC gave a woman athlete's husband credit for her gold medal win, instead of mentioning her by name. The women's gymnastics team was compared to standing around at the mall, and articles were written about their favorite celebrities instead of their medals. Many more "mistakes" such as these happened.
These events were unfortunate to say the least, with women having made significant strides in garnering rights and being heard. A little over one hundred years ago, the first women were allowed to compete in the Olympics in a few sports.
To have consistent sexism demeaning the hard work female athletes put into their sports hurts and undermines both men and women. The Olympics should be a place of joy, celebration, and achievement; not hateful language and insults.
Ryan Lochte, who made up a robbery, and cost his teammates 11,000 dollars, has only lost four sponsors. He has received no formal punishment yet. He even gained a new sponsor. People made excuses for him, saying that "boys will be boys," even though he is 32. Hope Solo is 35, only a few years older than Lochte, yet no excuses were made for her.
When it comes to situations like Hope Solo's suspension, we should follow the precedent that has been set by the world of sports to date. With male football players, a precedent has been set for punishing players either not at all, or with a six-game suspension (a new policy).
In the world of soccer, male players who have purposefully physically attacked other players, fans or referees have at most been sentenced to a few game bans (or no punishment). Serge Aurier, who used homophobic slurs and profanity to insult his team boss and other countries' officials received a two month suspension. In a similar case with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he received a four-game suspension.
Hope Solo committed crimes nowhere near comparable to these, yet her contract was terminated. This is discrimination at it finest. If athletic authorities wish to enforce more harsh of punishments, they should start doing it equally.
Hope Solo did not deserve her punishment, and I hope for her sake, that her contract with US Soccer is reinstated. Everybody makes mistakes in their lives, but as one of the best goalkeepers in the world she should be allowed to play in the position she has fought for.

Project Details
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): One of the most prevalent morbidities in HIV seropositive (HIV+) patients is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as emphysema, present in ~20%. HIV is now recognized as a risk factor for COPD, independent of cigarette smoking (CS). However, the mechanisms of HIV associated chronic lung disease remain poorly understood. Chronic inflammation and the associated endothelial activation that mediate the development of end-organ disease in HIV+ patients are likely to be major contributors to COPD pathogenesis. One of the earliest detected pulmonary manifestations of HIV infection is a decrease in gas transfer across the alveolar-capillary membrane, reflected by a reduced diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) that is present even in individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Radiographically, the predominant finding to account for low DLCO in HIV+ patients is emphysema, which appears more severe and diffuse, and with greater lower lobe involvement in HIV+ compared to HIV- patients. This distribution is similar to that found in alpha-one antitrypsin (A1AT) deficient patients, who also present with emphysema at relatively young ages and worsen with smoking. Since in addition to its antielastase activity, we and others have demonstrated that A1AT is protective to endothelial cells, relative A1AT deficiency combined with HIV induced endothelial activation may cause endothelial dysfunction, reduced DLCO, early emphysema and enhanced susceptibility to a decline in lung function. Thus, the pathogenesis of emphysema in HIV+ patients may be initiated primarily in the vascular compartment and may be distinct from that in HIV- patients. We will test the hypothesis that the impaired pulmonary gas exchange in HIV+ patients is explained by lung microvascular dysfunction synergistically aggravated by cigarette smoke and identified by biomarkers of endothelial activation and dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, we will use a complementary translational approach that takes advantage of the unique strengths of our multiple PI team. We will leverage an efficient study design using existing biospecimens and clinical data from demographically similar HIV+ and HIV- patients, complemented by studies of relevant human lung microvascular endothelial injury models that will synergize with proteomic analysis of airspaces. This proposal will test the novel paradigm that endothelial activation is an initiator o impaired gas exchange and of the development of chronic lung disease in HIV infection. Understanding the mechanisms of impaired gas exchange is essential as a low DLCO is a risk factor for death in HIV+ patients, and our results can identify targets for new individualized treatments, identify potential biomarkers for future validation studies, and inform the design of clinical trials to improve the health of HIV+ patients with chronic lung disease. Statement of Relevance HIV infection is associated with impairment in gas exchange in the lung; this defect is associated with an increased risk of death. The studies proposed will advance our understanding of the mechanisms for the development of gas exchange abnormalities in HIV, and will inform the development of tailored therapeutic interventions to improve the long-term function and survival of HIV infected individuals.
