Your second thread has been updated:


A new disturbing video has emerged online in which a lady was being raped, while some other young men were filming the act.
In the video, the lady who looked helpless was held down by one of the men, while another raped her.
As at the time this report was filed, it isn’t yet sure where the incidence occurred.
The young men apparently spoke in another language different from English, but rumours have it that the language is from the northern part of Nigeria.
The video cannot be uploaded on this platform due to the level of violence involved,
In the last couple of weeks, the spate of rape incidences seems to have increased.
It could be recalled that Uwaila Vera Omozuwa was reportedly raped while studying inside a Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, in Benin, the capital city of Edo State.
While various public outcry and agitations against the act were still ongoing, another young lady, simply known as Barakat, was said to have been raped and killed by her rapist in her home in Ibadan.
In a bid to end this evil act, President Muhammadu Buhari led government has announced that it has set up a Gender-Based Violence Management Committee, which would look into these incidences and develop better ways of addressing the issue and curtail the menace.
Naija News also reported that the Nigerian lawmakers are working out plans to enact critical legislation to protect victims of rape against any form of stigmatization in the country.
The bill, titled ‘Rape and Insurgency Victims Stigmatization (Prohibition) Bill 2019’, scaled second reading during Wednesday’s plenary session.
When this bill is passed, it would provide for the prosecution and punishment of any person or group of persons who stigmatizes such victims.

Michigan on Thursday became the 10th state to have legal recreational marijuana. Washington, D.C., also allows recreational use of the product.
The new law, which passed via ballot measure last month, took effect Thursday at midnight.
Michiganders age 21 and older will now be allowed to carry up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana, the highest recreational carry limit in the nation.
People will also be able to keep 10 ounces in their home and grow up to 12 marijuana plants for personal use.
Smoking marijuana in public will still be illegal, including on porches or in driveways outside of a private residence, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Recreational marijuana won’t be available for purchase in the state until at least 2020, when regulators will start accepting applications for sale licenses. The state also plans to levy a 10 percent tax on legal recreational pot sales.
The state has had legal medical marijuana since voters approved it in 2008.
Though Michigan lawmakers have not yet passed any legislation to change the status of past marijuana-related convictions, Democratic Gov.-elect Gretchen Whitmer has said that she would support such a bill, according to the Free Press.
As more states legalize the drug for recreational use, officials nationwide have been moving to wipe past marijuana convictions from the books, noting that there is a large racial disparity in those convictions.

We need more accurate terminology to describe the instructional strategies we employ in our designs. The term learning objective is far too vague to be of much use. This blog post explains how the term fails and offers an additional term, stochastic learning objective, to clarify differences among instructional strategies. Not all learning is stochastic, but much is.
Disciplines within education use the same term in different ways, confusing everybody and wasting time. In instructional design (IDT) programs, objectives suggest discreet performances that are either mastered or not. There is no flexibility. Mastery is obvious. Scholars point to Ill-defined as a design term suggesting content that may have multiple correct associated performances, but the term confounds content and performance. Language Education also uses the term objectives, albeit in a different way. Language educators are not talking about ill-defined content. They have a pretty solid idea of correct language performances, even if they choose not to predict those performances. In Language Education, designers of instruction will not have confusion about the content and still see a range of mastery performances; objectives often revolve around communicative tasks. Discrete linguistic performances do not determine mastery of, or even failure to master, an objective. Rather, Language Education has evolved the term, objective, to be broader and more appreciative of multiple communicative strategies. The definition of the term is less flexible in other areas of education. Study abroad programs and immersion programs are great examples of the stochastic instructional strategy. In such cases, discrete language performances may not determine success or failure of a study abroad participant, but by virtue of the experience, learning is likely to have occurred. The instructional design of the study abroad experience endeavors to create a context where learning is likely to take place. Language immersion programs work much the same way.
Stochastic Learning Objectives are a set of competencies or knowledge items that we hope learners will come to in the process of learning, but our instruction is not explicitly targeted on the performance itself. Often, there is no single discrete performance that constitutes mastery. Rather, the instructional design is aimed at building a context where the learning of skills is likely to occur, and multiple performances, taken holistically in or around the educational context, indicate learning. The terms stochastic learning, and stochastic learning objectives, are useful for conveying the point others have already made.
Stochastic designs are everywhere outside of online learning
The relationship between instructional strategies and stochastic learning has not been labeled in the past, but the concept has been around a long time. Noam Chomsky told the students and faculty at Arizona State University that if we knew what the outcomes were before we started teaching, it would not be education. Education, he says, is joint discovery that happens among teachers and learners. When we start, we don’t know the answer, and that’s the objective— to learn together. He stops short of drawing a distinction between education and instruction, but his logical trajectory is not hard to guess. In contrast, Mager has made a career of explaining instructional performance objectives. In Mager’s objectives, the answer must be known ahead of time; otherwise, it is not instruction at all. Standards and school districts spend countless hours debating objectives. A lot of confusion arises because we don’t have a common meaning to the term. We draw distinctions in isolation from each other. Stochastic learning objectives offers a way to identify instructional strategies that do not hinge on single items, but rather rely on probabilities.
In stochastic designs, the probability that one will learn, or not learn, is often separated from the sequence of instructional events. Instructional sequences need not be dictated in stochastic designs, nor are learning items necessarily contingent upon one another. In a stochastic design, a mastery performance need not come together in a specific way. A parallel example exists in visual art. Jackson Pollack is often credited for capitalizing on the stochastic nature of dripping paint– at some point the process, the artist will come upon the aesthetically pleasing image (see public domain image in this post). His admirers’ credit him not for dripping paint particularly well, but rather for knowing when to stop. Recognizing when the performance was complete.
PhD programs are also stochastic in many ways. An example of a skill that is typically approached stochastically is scholarly hedging. Early researchers are cautioned not to make claims prematurely. In this process of learning, they go from having ideas to having hedged notions. In lay speech we find the term “idea” quite often, but when we switch to academic discourse, ideas seem to be replaced with notions. Notions are less rigid than ideas; it’s ok for a notion to be vague. The notion is a wonderful example because while I find that graduates of PhD programs have notions and others have ideas, I have never heard of any course or advisory bullet point directed at teaching PhD students to have notions and not ideas. In fact, it is ludicrous to think of it. Stochastic outcomes are quite common in discourse learning. I have had that notion for the past few years; previously I only had ideas. 😊
Not enough online learning uses stochastic designs
At-a-distance learners rarely encounter stochastic designs because we plan the stochastic nature out of our learning interventions by disassembling content too much. Online learning emphasizes pin-point precision, and carefully supported performances where the undisputable correct performance is obvious at every stage. That is far easier to accomplish when a task is dissected into constituent parts. Bite-size content with clear performance objectives accompanied by lots of support via examples and supplemental material are common recommendations for at-a-distance designs. Evaluation systems such as Quality Matters celebrate these highly targeted, discrete point, overly scaffolded designs. We’ve developed a system that purposefully avoids stochastic designs even when it is exactly what learners need. Removing all of the stochastic nature out of designs disempowers learners, and weakens their ability to think and explore.
Removing all the stochastic elements within a design is a disservice to our learners. Instructional designs that lack an element of exploration will stop short of education, and get stuck in instruction. No amount of supplemental material will prepare learners for some of the learning they need; namely, the attitude and disposition to move up the high order thinking continuum. For example, I assigned learners to collaborate via a wiki. My goal was to support critical thinking about technology choices in online collaboration. A specific learner, through no fault of her own, experienced some of the less attractive attributes of wiki collaboration. Her work was overwritten because she had saved just moments prior to another student’s saving a different version of the wiki page. This effectively deleted her entire contribution. A second experience revolved around incompatibility issues with how the collaboration rendered on different devices. From a Quality Matters perspective, this instruction was poorly designed. However, in the context of graduate learning in instructional design, these events effectively brought about the learning I had hope to support. I had hoped to support a critical discussion of media affordances in light of asynchronous collaboration. had we approached the topic discussing each affordance separately, the discussion would have been dry, disengaging, and unhelpful.
In my stochastic intervention, I could not have predicted these events even though I suspected the collaboration might be clumsy. No number of forewarnings could have generated the deeper learning that took place when learners recognized the negative attributes of wikis. These must be experienced for the concept to be learned. As a teacher, I did not intend for students to delete one another’s work. Rather, I wanted learners to grasp both the positives and negatives of the tool. The learning objective was stochastic, and meant to empower, rather than to lead learners through a predetermined process. Realizing the larger ambitions for online learning will require recognizing where stochastic interventions fit in, and where they do not.

Diamond Mitsubishi Fuso has got your back with long-term box truck rentals.
Leasing is a popular option among trucking enterprises because of the flexibility of adding vehicles to a fleet at any time, without the financial commitment that purchasing requires. Our low monthly lease rates also appeal to trucking firms.
Long-term box truck rentals are even more flexible than leasing, offering freedom for companies with an eye on the bottom line whose hauling schedules fluctuate almost daily.
Diamond Mitsubishi Fuso’s long-term box truck rentals are open-ended. For companies that wish to accommodate customers with unpredictable hauling requirements, our long-term arrangements are ideal.
At monthly rates that fit your budget, your business can use quality Mitsubishi box trucks for as many weeks or months as you need. You may rent additional vehicles when demand picks up, and when orders slow down, return the trucks to our commercial truck dealership, at no continuing obligation.
Long-term rentals of box trucks from Diamond Mitsubishi Fuso include these valuable benefits:
Diamond Mitsubishi Fuso’s long-term box rentals work best for companies that need trucks for at least several weeks. Our dealership does not rent for services such as residential moving. In those cases, renting from U-Haul, for example, is a better solution.
For more than 50 years, our dealership has served trucking enterprises in the Bay Area, including the cities of Fremont, Sunnyvale, San Jose, Santa Clara, and Milpitas.
To learn more about our long-term box rentals, talk to a Diamond Mitsubishi Fuso professional. Call 408-263-7300 today, or visit our San Jose dealership.

What gas is used in a refrigerator?
The gas commonly used in a refrigerator is called Tetrafluoroethane. It is a refrigerant that is safe for the environment and effective at keeping your food and drinks cool.
How often does a refrigerator need to be refilled with gas?
A refrigerator should only need to be refilled with gas occasionally, if at all. It is typically only necessary to refill the gas if there is a leak or the refrigerator is not cooling correctly.
Can a refrigerator gas leak be dangerous?
A gas leak in a refrigerator can be dangerous if it is not addressed promptly. Tetrafluoroethane gas is not toxic but can displace oxygen in the air, leading to asphyxiation. In addition, the gas is flammable and could cause a fire if it comes into contact with an ignition source.
What should I do if I think my refrigerator has a gas leak?
If you think your refrigerator has a gas leak, it is essential to take action immediately. First, turn off the power to the refrigerator and unplug it. Next, open the windows and doors to ventilate the area. Do not attempt to repair the leak yourself; instead, call a qualified repair technician to fix the problem.
Can I refill the gas in the refrigerator?
No, the refrigerator gas filling process needs an expert. R134a gas is pressurized and can be dangerous to handle without proper training and equipment. It is best to leave this task to a qualified repair technician with the knowledge and tools to do it safely.

Ralf Gschwend, better known as Ralfonso, is an acclaimed Swiss artist, known for his kinetic, light and interactive sculptures. Through his body of work, he has pushed the boundaries of traditional, static art forms to introduce visual experiences through the interaction with the environment such as wind, light and water. Unlike other artists, Ralfonso’s artistic practice has developed in a reverse order – from large to monumental scale outdoor public art work to small, indoor kinetic sculptures for private homes.
Born in 1959, Ralfonso always wanted to be an artist. Since he was a very young boy, he was always fascinated with engineering, mechanics and design. But it was clear to him that he wanted to be free from financial pressures in his art and creative endeavors. As a result, he wanted to get a business education first. Ralfonso received his undergraduate education both in Europe and in the US. He later continued his formal business education at the Wharton School of Finance, receiving an MBA in 1985. Later, while working in the real estate field in San Francisco, the artist began a series of kinetic sculpture drawings. Without major financial stress, these drawings slowly became the basis for his very first large kinetic sculptures in public places. One of the early public designs was the Wind Rings, later renamed G-Rings, which are still being exhibited in various exhibitions.
Created from stainless-steel, fiberglass and Kevlar laminates, his sculptures are mostly inspired by nature, by the shape and natural interaction of all the elements. Each design is unique and relies upon mechanics and a bit of engineering, and has the power to change shape as they move in the wind, or when pushed by hand.
Clients for his large, site-specific public sculptures are mostly cities such as Orlando, Beijing, Zhengzhou, Wuhu, among others. The second largest group of clients are developers of large, master planned developments, such as the Mass Transit Railway Corporation (MTR) in China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or large corporations, such as the RBI Holding in the Russian Federation, or the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line Corporation in the USA.
His sculptures have so far been exhibited or permanently installed in Switzerland, The Netherlands, the Russian Federation, China, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, France and the United States.
Ralfonso’s Dance with the Wind is a 10m tall wind sculpture that was commissioned and permanently installed at the Olympic Park in Beijing, China, in 2008. His project UNION #2 represents a group of 6 wind driven kinetic wing sculptures, commissioned by the City of Orlando and permanently installed in 2013 in the Central Lake Eola Park, Orlando, Florida, USA.
With his passion for Kinetic Art, Ralfonso co-founded the Kinetic Art Organization – KAO, which has now became the largest kinetic art organization in the world.
After 15 years building very large to monumental public sculptures around the world, the artist is now focusing on small kinetic and still sculptures. Beijing Museum of Contemporary Art - MoCA, has recently acquired a small kinetic sculpture for their permanent collection. In addition, Ralfonso has been asked to consign a small Dance with the Wind kinetic sculpture for the special Contemporary Curated Sotheby NY Auction, which will be held in March 2016.

NH and Maine Police Officers Growing Beards for Children’s Fundraiser
For the month of October, some New Hampshire and Maine police officers are taking a break from shaving all for a good cause.
According to Seacoast Online, the razors will be tucked away in order to raise money for a couple of children's advocacy groups. Officers will let their facial hair grow in support of children's advocacy groups in both Rockingham County in the Granite State and York County in Maine. The organizations both provide services for abused children.
During last year's fundraiser, close to $18,000 was raised for the Rockingham County center through 'Beards for Bucks.'
If you're wondering, female employees that will partake in the fundraisers will participate by wearing blue nail polish.

Libya’s oil output has dropped by around half as workers in the industry have fled because of the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi.
That estimate comes from the chairman of Libya’s National Oil Corporation Shokri Ghanem.
He also said Libya’s oil installations are undamaged and everything is being does to keep them safe. He also insisted the National Oil Corporation is overseeing production and exports.
On the 50 percent fall in output Ghanem said: “It is basically due to the labourers leaving because of the panic. If they come back, it is well protected and production can continue as before.”
He declined to comment on reports of a split in the national oil firm. A Libyan official told Reuters on Monday that a unit of NOC had decided to operate separately from its parent until Gaddafi is overthrown.
Hassan Bulifa, a member of the management board of Agoco, a unit of NOC, said in the eastern city of Benghazi that his firm was considering setting up its own marketing division to sell crude.
Ghanem declined to comment on the development and said NOC remained in control. “I am in my office; we are running the business; we are trying to do our utmost to keep the oil installations safe,” he said.

PEABODY — As they were being driven away from the scene of a stabbing that has left a New Hampshire man hospitalized, suspect George Moise, still wearing bloodstained clothing, turned to his girlfriend and yelled, "It's all your fault," according to police.
"If you weren't (expletive) the guy, this wouldn't have happened," the driver quoted Moise as saying to his 21-year-old girlfriend.
Moise, 23, of 19 Farm Ave., Peabody, is now charged with attempted murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in the stabbing of Robert Kowalchik, 51, of Nashua. Police say Kowalchik was stabbed multiple times in the abdomen outside Moise's Peabody home.
Kowalchik was reported by Peabody police to be in serious condition yesterday at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Moise, who turned himself in to police late Tuesday afternoon, is being held without bail, pending a hearing on Wednesday into whether he poses a danger if released.
Police received a 911 call from a passer-by shortly after noon on Tuesday.
Kowalchik was taken to the hospital, and police began looking for the culprit.
They first encountered David Moise Sr., the father of the suspect, who said he had seen two men fighting. He eventually acknowledged that one of the men was his son, George.
Moise Sr. told police he saw the fight outside, then stopped to put on a prosthetic leg and went to help his other son, David Moise Jr., who was trying to break up the fight.
David, who was initially reluctant to identify his brother as the assailant, eventually told officers that his brother George had tossed the weapon, a "John Wayne" hunting knife, into some nearby weeds. He helped the officers find the knife, police said.
But he had little sympathy for Kowalchik, telling officers "he got what he deserved" because Kowalchik was engaging in sexual relations with George Moise's girlfriend.

In art’s history, there are two types of popularity. The first type is artist popularity. This is when the artist themselves receive more recognition and praise than their plethora of works. Renaissance artists Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (better known by his first name only), as well as modern artists, like Pablo Picasso and Akiane Kramarik, are fine examples.
If you happen to be traveling by plane over the Norwegian countryside (or, maybe, spying aerial perspectives of the region by drone) Design Museum suggest flying over a little municipality called Klepp in Rogaland county. There, you’ll find artists and organizers prepping for a not-so-little street art festival known as Nuart, set to open its 15th iteration on Sept. 4.
So Design Museum brings to you French artists Ella & Pitr. Unless they are followed within the artists’ social and media circles, most people may not know who they are. However, their work on murals is recognized worldwide. Now, they are being honored for creating the “world’s largest mural” at Norway’s Nuart Festival.
Ella & Pitr created the mural starting on Friday, August 21, 2015, for the upcoming Nuart Festival in the Klepp Kommune.
With the help of an army of volunteers and Block Berge Bygg providing their building’s roof — which is about 21,000 square meters (or 226,040 square feet) in size — as its canvas, Ella & Pitr set to work over the course of four days. Needless to say, the mural — titled Lilith and Olaf — is amazing, especially when viewed from above (shown in the video below).

Stock investment is a terrific method to gain money by capitalizing on the expansion of businesses. Starting up in the financial markets might be intimidating for many newbies, despite the possibility of long-term benefits, but then you can consider purchasing stocks at the moment.
Therefore, how are you going about investing in stocks? It’s after all fairly straightforward, and there are various options. Among the most straightforward methods is to register an online trading account as well as purchase stocks as well as stock ETFs. If you aren’t satisfied with all of that, you could employ an expert or a trading bot like Tesler to handle your investment for a charge. In any case, you may start investing in stocks available on the internet with little capital.
4 Simple Actions To Get Began
So you’d like to start putting money into stocks? Here’s a four-step guideline to really get you started:
1. Determine How You Wish To Participate.
Once it involves investing, you already have various alternatives, allowing you to truly tailor your investment strategy to your expertise and the amount of money and effort you would like to devote to it. You could spend as much or as little time as you desire.
What will happen to your funds?
- A Human Specialist: This option is ideal for people who only desire to devote a few seconds a year to think about investment. It’s also a wonderful option for folks who are beginner investors.
- Robo-Advisor: Another good “do-it-for-me” option is a Robo-advisor, which uses artificial intelligence software to handle your funds employing the same decision-making procedure that a personal adviser would, but for a significantly cheaper price. You may rapidly establish an investing scheme, and after that, all you have to do is put funds; the Robo-advisor will take care of the remainder.
- Self-Managed: For individuals who have more expertise or the opportunity to engage themselves, this “do-it-yourself” alternative is a terrific alternative. A trading account is required if you wish to choose your personal stocks or investments.
2. Establish Your Stock Investment Budget.
Let’s start by discussing the capital you must never put into stocks. Funds that you could require over the following 5 years, or at the very least, should not be invested in stocks.
Even though the financial markets would almost surely increase in value over the upcoming years, there is so much unpredictability in financial markets right now; in reality, a decrease of 20% in just about any particular year is not uncommon. Following the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, the stock market crashed by more than about 40% before quickly rising to a record peak.
3. Create A Brokerage Account.
If you lack the means to purchase stocks, together all novice stock trading information in the world won’t help you enough. You will want a particular kind of account known as a trading account to accomplish this.
Firms including TD Ameritrade, Tesler, Charles Schwab, and several others provide such services. Additionally, establishing a trading account is often a simple, simple procedure that requires only a few moments. EFT transfers, postal checks, and wire transfers make it simple to finance your trading account.
4. Select Stocks.
The query about the purchase of stocks has been addressed. After all, obviously, we can’t cover all you must think about while choosing and analyzing stocks within only a few paragraphs, but these are the key ideas to understand when you begin:
- Increase investment diversity.
- Spend only in companies you fully comprehend.
- Till you master trading, stay away from stocks with significant fluctuation.
- Resist undervalued stocks at all costs.
Understand the fundamental ideas and parameters for stock valuation.
This is a great idea to comprehend the idea of diversity, which states that your portfolio must contain a range of various types of businesses. We would advise you to avoid diversifying your business far too much, though.
Keep your investments in companies you are familiar with. If you find that you are particularly adept at (or at ease with) stock analysis, there is nothing wrong with having a sizable portion of your portfolio invested in that particular sector.
Another of the leading investment techniques is revealed here. To get excellent outcomes, you should not be doing unusual actions. Investing in stocks of successful companies at fair rates and holding on to them until you require the funds or the company’s continued success is the best reliable method for making a profit in the financial market. This can result in certain instability along the road, however overage, you’ll generate good profits from your investments.

Representatives from banks, finance, land and housing ministries from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda gathered in Kampala with American and UN officials for the first regional meeting devoted to promoting innovative financing for affordable housing.
The three-day meeting organized by the Government of Uganda, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, and UN-HABITAT is aimed at sharing experiences and identifying strategies that stimulate funding for affordable housing in East Africa. Civil servants, investors, and bankers sought to define strategies to help close the wide gap between the availability and demand for housing, particularly in rapidly urbanising areas.
In his welcoming statement, Captain Francis Babu, the Ugandan Minister of State for Housing, highlighted the crucial role of housing in poverty alleviation.
“A homeowner saves more, is more patriotic and more credit worthy,” he said. He thanked the United States and other development partners for their commitment to help Africa’s development efforts through debt relief, development assistance, and partnerships to meet the Millennium Development Goals. He said targeting the urban poor was a daunting task because low-income families do not have leases or title deeds that can be used as collateral. But the government could help by improving infrastructure to trigger development and reduce the cost of housing construction.
Ms. Shannon Sorzano, Director of International Housing Finance and Deputy Secretary at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development said that in the United States where over two-thirds of households owned their homes, statistics showed that “for every thousand homes built, 2,500 jobs are created. Furthermore, home owners are wealthier than renters, are more likely to invest in their communities, and their children are more likely to graduate from college and do better at school.” She stressed that access to credit was a cornerstone to home ownership. “We have seen the transformable power of home ownership and the stimulating and critical role that housing plays in the economy and society, we are eager to share what we have learned,” she concluded.
Tanzania’s Director of Housing, Mr. Blasi Seleki said his country was reviewing its housing policy and enacting regulations to facilitate access to land for construction. It was also registering informal settlements and issuing residential licenses that can be used as collateral. This allows poor people to obtain loans for homes and small business projects. Mr. Amon Urio, Director of Planning at the Bank of Tanzania said the government had also made mortgage finance a centrepiece of its financial reforms. Attracting long-term finance for mortgage banking along with other regulatory reforms in the capital markets would help the government regularize land and offer security of tenure, he said.
In Kenya, the housing demand in the country’s cities is 150,000 units per annum yet the country can only produce 50,000. Around 60 per cent, or 1.9 million of the 3 million residents of the capital Nairobi live in slums and informal settlements. The Director of Housing in the Kenyan Ministry of Lands and Housing, Mr. Julius Malombe described the Kenya Slum Upgrading Programme, initiated by his government in partnership with UN-HABITAT to improve the lives of these slum dwellers and outlined the policies to prevent new slums.
Mr. Chris Williams, Acting Director of the UN-HABITAT Human Settlements Finance Division welcomed the private-state partnership at the heart of the meeting. He said that “efforts of capacity building, policy reform, cannot work alone – currently there is very little investment from private sector to deal with rapid urbanization. Only 5 per cent of the funding needed is currently available.”
He said the Millennium target on improving the lives of slum dwellers could not be achieved unless domestic capital was considered as part of the solution for housing development. He explained that this peer exchange was aimed at using existing knowledge to generate action to address the issues affecting housing delivery.
The meeting is one of the initiatives supported by UN-HABITAT to find practical solutions to the problem of finding adequate funding for housing. It will produce proposals as a basis for future action by governments and financial institutions.

“Africa’s Broadcast Industry Must Create Platforms To Expand Audience Base And Footprint” – Botlenyana Mokhele, Councillor, Independent Communications Authority Of South Africa (ICASA)
Botlenyana Mokhele, Councillor at the Independent Communications Authority Of South Africa (ICASA) believes that OTT content streaming and VOD can contribute to diversity and media plurality by increasing accessibility of content services to a broader variety of audiences.
Botlenyana, in an interview with Broadcast Media Africa (BMA), in preparation for the Industry OTT Content Streaming and VOD Services Forum taking place on the 5th – 6th February 2019 at the in Radisson Blu (Gautrain) Hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa is urging the industry to focus on creating platforms to expand their audience base and footprint.
Below is an excerpt of the conversation Botlenyana had with the BMA on the forthcoming Forum where she is a featured speaker and panellist:
BMA: Why did you decide to get involved in this Industry Forum On: OTT Content Streaming And VOD Services?
Botlenyana: To better understand these services and their impact and contribution to the broadcasting industry, I view OTTs and VOD as complementary to traditional broadcasting services. The fact that their advent has changed audience consumption behaviour (audiences especially younger ones) are now multiple screen users and competition dynamics in relation to existing players. The fact that they can leverage a global presence while still fulfilling the niche needs of local audiences. Their flexibility and ease of market entry.
On the one hand, depending on their conditions of operations, they can contribute to diversity and media plurality by increasing accessibility of content services to a broader variety of audiences; and on the other hand they can entrench the digital divide by virtue of the high cost of data and access devices being out of reach for low-income audiences.
All this means that all stakeholders have to engage and better understand the nature and the impact of these services. I’m particularly interested in the forum from a regulatory perspective, whereas they are not regulated in South Africa, they do have an impact on the regulated sector which we still need to quantify and examine carefully.
BMA: What are your aspirations for the industry in relation to ways of leveraging the evolving changes in media consumption to the benefit of all industry stakeholders?
Botlenyana: OTTs can be complementary to traditional services and thus serve to increase their footprint; and audience engagement particularly with public interests content such as news, actuality and educational content. They are also introducing more and varied content into the market, by virtue of them being available across platforms means that they have a wider audience base and thus services that leverage OTT services can now reach a wider audience, which they previously could not reach through their traditional services.
BMA: Could you please tell us what you hope fellow participants will take away from this industry event?
Botlenyana: The industry needs a paradigm shift, instead of looking at OTTs as pure competition and focusing on their unregulated status, they should find ways of embracing the platforms and using them to augment and improve their services. Traditional broadcasting services have a loyal audience, are more affordable, and especially the Public Broadcasting Services have compelling content favoured by the majority of South Africans. If they could focus on creating platforms of their own and thus expanding their audience base and footprint, they could derive an additional revenue stream and related benefits and thus leverage the new technology to achieve their mandates.
BMA: What are your expectations for the Industry Forum in February?
Botlenyana: I expect to engage with peers from a wide range of interest areas and better understanding the OTT VOD business and operational models.
About Botlenyana Mokhele: Botlenyana has a wealth of experience in broadcasting media policy and regulation from a career spanning over two decades. Prior to being appointed to the Council of the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), she was a Principal Consultant at Pygma Consulting based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Before becoming a consultant, Ms Mokhele served in a number of senior positions at the Department of Communications (DoC), including that of the Chief Director 2010 Broadcasting, responsible for implementation of the South African Government’s ICT Guarantees for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Mokhele will be speaking at the Industry Forum on OTT Content Streaming And VOD Services as a representative of the Independent Communications Authority Of South Africa.

Influenza A virus subtype H3N2 (also H3N2) is a subtype of viruses that cause influenza (flu). H3N2 Viruses can infect birds and mammals. In birds, humans, and pigs, the virus has mutated into many strains. H3N2 is increasingly abundant in seasonal influenza, which kills an estimated 36,000 people in the United States each year.
Seasonal influenza kills an estimated 36,000 people in the United States each year. Flu vaccines are based on predicting which mutants of H1N1, H3N2, H1N2, and influenza B will proliferate in the next season. Separate vaccines are developed for the northern and southern hemispheres in preparation for their annual epidemics. In the tropics, influenza shows no clear seasonality. In the past ten years, H3N2 has tended to dominate in prevalence over H1N1, H1N2, and influenza B. Measured resistance to the standard antiviral drugs amantadine and rimantadine in H3N2 has increased from 1% in 1994 to 12% in 2003 to 91% in 2005.
Seasonal H3N2 flu is a human flu from H3N2 that is slightly different from one of last year's flu season H3N2 variants. Seasonal influenza viruses flow out of overlapping epidemics in East and Southeast Asia, then trickle around the globe before dying off. Identifying the source of the viruses allows global health officials to better predict which viruses are most likely to cause the most disease over the next year. An analysis of 13,000 samples of influenza A/H3N2 virus that were collected across six continents from 2002 to 2007 by the WHO's Global Influenza Surveillance Network showed that newly emerging strains of H3N2 appeared in East and Southeast Asian countries about 6 to 9 months earlier than anywhere else. The strains generally reached Australia and New Zealand next, followed by North America and Europe. The new variants typically reached South America after an additional 6 to 9 months, the group reported.

CRYPTO MINDSHARE CREEP
As far as crypto has come since the broad market selloff in March, 2021 is being primed to be even more consequential for the industry. Now, with the bitcoin and cryptocurrency community looking forward to a slew of developments in 2021—including the much-anticipated launch of Facebook’s bitcoin-inspired cryptocurrency and potentially industry-defining U.S. cryptocurrency regulations— Wall Street giant Wells Fargo WFC said it expects to be “discussing the digital asset space more” next year.
John LaForge, head of real asset strategy at Wells Fargo, wrote in an investment strategy report this week that “Over the past 12 years, [bitcoin and cryptocurrencies] have risen from literally nothing to $560 billion in market capitalization… Fads don’t typically last 12 years. There are good reasons for this—reasons that every investor should hear. As we roll into 2021, we’ll be discussing the digital asset space more—its upside and its downside.”
NOTHING WORTH HAVING COMES EASY
This certainly applies to crypto, as markets have stalled in the last week. After flirting with $20,000 and a new all-time high, bitcoin prices temporarily fell below $18,000 multiple times this week, declining to their lowest since late November before bouncing back. This development was not surprising to analysts who closely studied bitcoin’s technical charts and on-chain data. For instance, whale (large scale holders) inflows into exchanges increased to the “bearish zone” this week,indicating that many were convinced that the current phase of this rally had run its course and they planned to take some profits off of the table.
That said, most industry watchers continue to have a bullish outlook in the near-term, much of it based in the continued institutional interest in acquiring long positions in the asset. This week MicroStrategy signaled its intention to issue debt in order to buy more bitcoin. On Friday it announced that it had ultimately raised $650 million. Additionally, news just broke that MassMutual entered into a $100 million position in bitcoin and even invested $5 million in the financial services firm, NYDIG.

CRYPTO BANKS FOR EVERYONE
Long faced with challenges opening bank accounts to fund operations, crypto firms have turned to seeking their own banking charters. Most recently, bitcoin and cryptocurrency payments company BitPay filed paperwork with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to create a national bank —named the BitPay National Trust Bank. BitPay’s bank bid comes after OCC acting comptroller Brian Brooks, who served as the chief legal officer of major U.S. bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase from 2018 until earlier this year, revealed plans to empower payment firms to operate across state lines with a single set of consolidated rules and said the OCC is ready to begin accepting applications.
But that was not the only newsworthy item in the crypto banking industry, as Paxos (PayPal’s PYPL crypto partner) and Figure Technologies have also recently filed applications with the OCC. That said, these companies should not start planning their national rollouts right away, as the OCC Fintech Charter has faced opposition from state banking regulators since its creation in 2018.

DEFI COMES TO BITCOIN
DeFi (decentralized finance) has long been concentrated on ethereum despite efforts from so-called eth-killers/clones to siphon off applications and volume. Now, due to an unprecedented securities offering on top of bitcoin, the original cryptocurrency is throwing its hat into the ring. Revealed exclusively to Forbes, on the evening of October 28, the creator of the $5.2 billion cryptocurrency litecoin, Charlie Lee, received stock in a little-known video game startup called Exordium, using technology built on the bitcoin blockchain. Other investors include Blockstream CEO Adam Back, former Monero lead maintainer and Riccardo “FluffyPony” Spagni.
The transaction was completed in seconds and incorporates sophisticated tools, such as the ability to whitelist accredited investors so that the initial offering and subsequent trading can remain compliant with securities regulations.

House Speaker John Boehner is correct that President Barack Obama has exceeded his authority in a way that violates and undermines the constitutional separation of powers. And he probably has a strong legal case to make that point.
The politics of the lawsuit he proposes, however, are wrong and unwise.
Boehner is asking the House to approve a resolution authorizing him, as speaker, to sue Obama on behalf of the body.
The U.S. Supreme Court has greatly restricted the ability of individual members of Congress to sue to contest executive branch actions. The high court hasn't directly opined on the standing of a congressional body to sue. But lower courts have accepted such lawsuits.
So far, however, it has been on low-stakes matters, such as enforcing a subpoena. Boehner proposes a high-stakes constitutional confrontation that judges would prefer to duck.
And there will be grounds to duck it. Senate Democrats apparently have no objection to Congress being demoted to less than a coequal branch of government or having their lawmaking function usurped. So, the Senate won't be joining Boehner's lawsuit.
The offense of usurping Congress' lawmaking function hasn't, of course, been inflicted only against the House. It is an offense against Congress as a whole. And judges may very well concluded that only Congress as a whole, and not one chamber acting singly, has standing to bring the lawsuit Boehner is proposing.
This, however, is uncharted legal waters. And a resolution approved by a majority of one congressional chamber will be a hard thing for judges to duck.
So, Boehner has a decent chance of getting into a courtroom. And if he gets into the courtroom, he has more than a decent chance of winning.
Contrary to the dismissal of Obama and congressional Democrats, this isn't a political stunt. Obama has asserted an authority to ignore plain statutory law and to essentially craft his own laws unseen since Richard Nixon. The constitutional offense is serious and important.
The problem for Boehner is that the challenge that is strongest legally makes for incomprehensible politics.
Boehner's resolution specifically would authorize him to bring suit to challenge Obama's failure to enforce the various provisions of Obamacare. The strongest legal challenge would be to the delay in the employer mandate.
The statutory language of Obamacare couldn't be clearer. For the employer mandate, the effective date is stated thusly and fully: "The amendments made by this section shall apply to months beginning after December 31, 2013." There is no general saving clause in Obamacare authorizing the president to alter its provisions to smooth its implementation, the rationale that has been given for this and other Obamacare changes contrary to statute.
House Republicans, of course, oppose the employer mandate, indeed Obamacare in its entirety. House Republicans have voted to delay the employer mandate themselves. And the other administrative actions Obama has taken to loosen Obamacare's statutory requirements also implement policy changes Republicans favor.
So, House Republicans would be suing Obama for doing things they think should be done. Boehner's reason for doing so is sound, to defend the constitutional role of the legislative branch. But that stands no chance of getting through the irony of Republicans suing to make Obama enforce Obamacare provisions they think shouldn't exist.
There are currently no better lawsuit targets. Obama also arguably exceeded his authority when he established a process for those brought to this country illegally as children to obtain renewable work permits. But the GOP has enough trouble with the Latino vote without suing to put an end to this program.
Many Republicans believe that Obama is exceeding his authority with his climate change regulatory actions. But so far, the courts are generally upholding them. So, while this might be a less politically dicey lawsuit, it has less chance of succeeding. And there are already plenty of private parties mounting such legal challenges.
This is a country in which liberty was intended to be protected by a tissue of procedural safeguards. The separation of powers is one of those.
An understanding and appreciation for that, however, is greatly attenuated in today's body politic. A lawsuit to reinvigorate both the principle and the perception of its importance requires that the challenge be solid both legally and politically.
The Boehner lawsuit fails the second test. That makes it a mistake.

Franken says the Senate to vote soon on new farm bill
WILLMAR — The Senate is expected to vote very soon on the farm bill, officially called the Agricultural Act of 2014, and Sen. Al Franken is calling the bill a bipartisan effort that is not perfect, but does modernize farm programs, provide jobs and reduce the deficit.
“It’s a good bipartisan bill that will give Minnesota farmers and farmers across the country the certainty they need for the future,” Franken said in a conference call with media Thursday morning.
The House on Wednesday passed the $956 billion bill, of which about 80 percent is funding for nutrition programs. Franken said that if the Senate doesn’t vote this week, the vote will be early next week. The bill includes $16.6 billion in savings, according to figures from the Congressional Budget Office, ends direct subsidy payments to farmers and leaves in place taxpayer subsidization of crop insurance, tying compliance to conservation standards to crop insurance coverage for producers.
Senate passage of the bill is very much expected. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, issued a statement Wednesday after the House passage.
“It’s now up to the Senate to take the final step. The Senate has twice passed the farm bill with overwhelming bipartisan support. I have no doubt we’ll do it again, and show that it is possible to do something to reduce the deficit and boost the economy when people work across the aisle.”
Franken noted the two passages, in June 2012 and June 2013, in his description of the two-year process he called a “struggle” to pass the bill. Debate about cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, still commonly referred to as food stamps, delayed the bill as the Republican-dominated House demanded $40 billion in cuts to program.
Franken touted his role in writing the energy title of the bill, including $880 million funding for biomass, wind and solar energy production, noting that there is support in the bill for biomass, biochemical and biorefineries that are creating rural jobs and strengthening rural communities.
The senator also noted that there is $100 million in funding for helping beginning farmers.
John Mages, who farms in the Belgrade area and serves on the Minnesota Corn Growers Board, spoke on the conference call and noted that the organization’s goals were to get the bill passed and protect crop insurance, which is now the main safety net for crop producers.
“The farm bill is supposed to be written for the bad times,” he said, noting that crop insurance coverage helped producers in last year’s drought, and prevented the need for a major disaster program.
The bill also raises target prices for major crops, $3.70 per bushel of corn, $8.40 per bushel of soybeans and $5.50 for bushel of wheat, at which farmers can claim counter-cyclical payments from the government if prices fall below those levels, Mages noted.
It is crop insurance, which has options for farmers, and the price protections, he noted, that farmers need to survive weather and grain prices.
“If we suffer losses, we need support to get through the challenges until next year,” Mages said.

The SHARE Institute is proud to present a report of all grants and projects funded since its founding in 2000. To date, we have provided grants to 290 projects in 34 countries.
The SHARE Institute was awarded the Small Business Community Association's 2013 Best of Business Award this year. Thank you to all of our wonderful supporters for nominating us for this award. The press release can be found here.
The SHARE Institute is excited to announce the recent expansion of our Intern-run organic garden for the homeless. After the resounding success of our garden over the past three years, SHARE has decided to expand our garden to raise even more produce for the homeless of the Sacramento area. Our interns worked hard over the spring and summer of 2012 to clear the new garden area and build new planters. This project has provided many nutritious meals at St. John's Shelter and continues to be one of SHARE's most successful local projects.


Ingeteam, an independent supplier of electrical conversion equipment, has introduced its Crowbarless solution, a modular fault ride through (FRT) system for power converters that will strengthen the grid compliance of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs).
According to Ingeteam, the Crowbarless solution offers superior capabilities compared with the active crowbar system traditionally used to protect the power converter from grid voltage transient. The company says its solution highlights a new way to deal with low-capacity transmission lines and FRT events and remain fully grid compliant.
“The traditional crowbar solution used in DFIG topology presents a poor response to the voltage sags. This is because when a voltage sag appears in the stator terminal, the machine side converter is disabled until the inductor generator flux is stabilized. Thanks to new software and hardware implemented in our crowbarless solution, the machine side converter is available at all times during the voltage sag, achieving injection times required by the most restrictive grid codes,” says Carlos Gironés, Ingeteam’s research and development director.
Ingeteam’s power converter uses a modular FRT system that removes the need for the active crowbar, which is the most widely used system to protect power converters from voltage spikes. The company made this decision because while the active crowbar is connected, the power converter is not in operation, the active and reactive power set points cannot be tracked, and, therefore, the wind turbine is not being controlled.
Coupled to a suitable selection of grid filter and control loops tuning, the Crowbarless solution is able to keep the control of the wind turbine during these transients, achieving the control required to operate in weak grids.
In addition, Ingeteam says the modularity concept of the FRT system allows for a cost optimization for each application: The solution is very flexible and offers a cost-optimal power converter option for each wind farm scenario.

The 2016 Big Draw Festival, world’s biggest drawing event, happens annually on October 1.
I am participating in this celebration of drawing, by facilitating a free drop-in drawing activity at The Britannia Drawing Jam.
The activity I’m offering is based on one of The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, developed in the 60’s by psychologist Ellis Paul Torrance. The Incomplete Figure test challenges a person to make a drawing from a given linear shape.
Using my partner and my son as guinea pigs, I gave them the Torrance Incomplete Figure test, with the help of some sticky notes, and while sipping smoothies at our local sidewalk cafe (Best smoothies!).
Of course, artists knew about this process long before Torrance.
This activity is doodle and game-oriented and draws out the inner-magination.
In my version, we give each other the challenge by making up our own marks.
And for anyone who wants to come to my table and do their own thing, on this day of celebrating the joy of drawing, I say, “More power to you!”
Creativity is our birthright.
Check out the city-wide Vancouver Big Draw events.

'Living Instruments' was launched in 2015 when musician Serge Vuille visited the community laboratory Hackuarium in Lausanne with long-time friend and researcher Luc Henry. The hackerspace – promoting an open, multidisciplinary, and DIY approach to science – was the ideal birthplace for this hybrid performance art project. A first series of simple prototypes evolved into complex and multi-layered technological instruments. This process was furthered by important contributions from three additional people: interactive designer Vanessa Lorenzo imagined exotic human-machine interfaces, physics and electronics guru Oliver Keller built circuits to connect living matters with computers, and sound designer Robert Torche created an elaborate musical landscape. The resulting biomusical performance is like nothing you’ve ever seen or heard before.
'Living Instruments' was first performed in February 2016 at the music venue Le Bourg in Lausanne. After a series of acclaimed performances at Café OTO in London, during the Ferien Kurse Neue Musik in Darmstadt, the Nuit des Musées at the Centre Dürrenmatt Neuchâtel, and the Klang Moor Schopfe Festival in Gaïs, the project will be presented for the first time in Zürich as part of '100 Ways of Thinking'.
Robert Torche is an instrument creator, performer, and improviser of electronic music. He specializes in the making and performing of hardware and software electronic musical instruments. More
Oliver Keller studied applied physics and now works at the CERN Media Lab where he develops user interfaces for scientific exhibitions. He is passionate about music, open source software, and hardware.
Luc Henry launched the Science Booster, the first Swiss crowdfunding platform for science. More

There's some good news today for T-Mobile customers in New York City.
T-Mobile activated its 2.5GHz 5G coverage in NYC today. Neville Ray, T-Mo's president of technology, confirmed the news that the carrier's 5G "layer cake" is now live in NYC with high-band mmWave, mid-band 2.5GHz, and low-band 600GHz 5G coverage.
There are currently two phones on T-Mobile that can access all three 5G bands: the Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy S20 Ultra. There are several other phones that can use the low-band 600MHz and mid-band 2.5GHz coverage, including the OnePlus 8 5G, OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, and LG V60 ThinQ 5G.
This is the second city where T-Mobile has activated its 2.5GHz 5G spectrum, with Philadelphia being the first to get it last month. T-Mo acquired this 2.5GHz spectrum as part of its merger with Sprint that closed on April 1.
The 2.5GHz spectrum was a major reason T-Mobile wanted to acquire Sprint, as it'll help the carrier build out its 5G network. High-band mmWave spectrum offers fast speeds but can't reach long distances, and the low-band 600MHz spectrum can reach greater distances but isn't very fast. The mid-band 2.5GHz spectrum helps to fill in the gap between high and low-band and give T-Mobile's 5G network greater depth and speeds.
While T-Mobile currently only has 2.5GHz 5G in two cities, it says that it's "moving quickly" to combine its network with Sprint's to boost its 5G network across the US. There's no word on where we might see T-Mo flip the 2.5GHz 5G switch next, though.
It's on! Today, customers in NY on the Galaxy S20+ & Ultra are the first to have access to the FULL.LAYER.CAKE.
