Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins reported 385 new cases and 13 deaths on Wednesday.
Pfizer says early data shows booter offers omicron protection, The Dallas Morning News reports. Pfizer and BioNTech say while their initial two vaccine doses are not strong enough to prevent infection, the booster increases protection against the omicron variant by 25-fold. The companies say the original two boosters should still prevent severe disease or death from the omicron variant.
Dallas County is preparing for the COVID-19 omicron variant, NBC DFW reports. Even though Dallas County has not yet recorded a confirmed case of the omicron variant of COVID-19, officials are preparing as if it is already in the county. Dallas County Health Director Dr. Philip Huang says the holiday season may promote the spread of the virus. Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins says, “Get vaccinated if you’re not already vaccinated. Get boosted if your vaccination was some time ago. Wear your mask indoors.”
US tightens COVID protocols for travelers, WFAA reports. The U.S. mask mandate for travelers on airplanes, trains and buses as well as airports and train stations will be extended until mid-March. All travelers to the U.S., regardless of nationality or vaccination status, currently need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test within one day of their flight.

Doesn’t this delicious coconut quinoa porridge with apricots, raspberries and peanuts look super tempting?! Quinoa is, besides oats, chia seeds and millet, my favorite ingredient for a yummie, long-lasting breakfast. Quinoa not only tastes good, it is also one of the most protein-rich plant foods ever. Quinoa contains all nine essential amino acids that the body can not produce itself. Also, calcium, iron, magnesium and vitamin E can be abundantly found in the delicious, nutty grain, which is also gluten-free. But enough of the praise to quinoa. This wonderful, warm porridge with coconut, apricots and raspberries is completely sugar-free except for the sweetness of the fruits. I just sweet it with a ripe, smashed banana, which I add to the simmering quinoa. With this porridge you have in any case an all-round healthy and energetic start of the day. I am looking forward to your feedback. See you soon, Lea
Ingredients (2 servings)
- 200 g (1 1/4 cups) quinoa
- 350 ml (1 1/2 cups) plantbased milk (e.g. almond milk or rice milk)
- 1 ripe banana
- 4 apricots
- 1 small tsp ground vanilla or 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 30-40 g (1/3 cup) desiccated coconut
- 60 g ( 1/2 cup) fresh raspberries
- 20 g (1/8 cup) unsalted pistachios
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut flakes
- Peanut butter to your liking
- Optional: lavender flowers for garnish
Instructions (25 minutes)
- Thoroughly rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve. This removes the slightly bitter taste of quinoa. Then put the quinoa with 350 ml plant drink (or water) in a saucepan and heat. When the quinoa is boiling, reduce the heat and simmer the quinoa gently for about 17 minutes. If necessary, add a little more liquid.
- While the quinoa is cooking, finely crush a ripe banana with a fork and stir in the simmering quinoa. Wash 2 apricots, remove the stones, finely dice and add. Add a small teaspoon of ground vanilla or vanilla extract.
- When the quinoa is cooked, fold in the desiccated/grated coconut and let the quinoa soak for another 5 minutes with the lid closed.
- Wash 2 additional apricots, remove the stones and cut into slices. Wash raspberries carefully. Peel and chop pistachios.
- Put the cooked quinoa into two bowls. Spread the apricot slices, raspberries and chopped pistachios on the quinoa. Add coconut flakes and peanut sauce as you like. Enjoy the meal!
If you like, you can also sprinkle a few lavender flowers over this delicious breakfast.

For the pupils of the Otto-Hahn-Gymnasium grammar school in Böblingen, it all began with a visit to the SCHAUFLER Academy in Ergenzingen, to which Florian Stupp’s class was invited. ‘The idea came about during a refrigeration workshop,’ he explains. ‘I had lots of fun working with BITZER!’
Research and training are extremely important to BITZER as a leading manufacturer of components in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry, which is why the SCHAUFLER Academy, the international BITZER training centre in Rottenburg, not only trains industry specialists, but also acquaints students and pupils with the topic of refrigeration and air conditioning. ‘We’re extremely proud of Florian for making it this far, and of course are more than happy to continue supporting him and his projects in the future,’ says Volker Stamer, Director of the SCHAUFLER Academy.
A short time later, Florian Stupp, Volker Stamer and Simon Beck, Deputy Head of Research at BITZER, agreed on the specific topic and defined the project structure, which was followed by experiments, tests and concepts on implementation and programming. The developed content for detecting bubbles in liquids was then tested at a refrigerant circuit at the SCHAUFLER Academy. Volker Stamer is satisfied with the results: ‘We’ve tested the system several times and it’s highly effective at quickly and precisely detecting bubble formation in the sight glass. The design is simple and affordable, which allows the system to be retrofitted with minimal effort and investment – and those are key factors for small companies.’
As a regional winner in technology, Florian’s advancing to Baden-Württemberg’s ‘Jugend forscht’ state competition with his project. He has also won two special prizes for his work.
In this video, he explains his project personally starting at minute 57:50 (German only).
About the project: monitoring refrigerant circuits in the field
Small companies with high cooling demands such as bakeries and butcher’s shops rarely have consistently monitored cooling systems. But monitoring can prevent system errors and refrigerant leaks, which can be harmful to the environment and health. This is where Florian Stupp’s project comes in: to make monitoring systems affordable for small companies, he dedicated himself to the sight glass, an instrument for observing liquid flows and levels in the refrigerant circuit, as bubbles that form there could be a sign of a potential leak. With the support of the SCHAUFLER Academy, Florian Stupp developed an optical system that can detect the formation of bubbles like these with the aid of a microcontroller and inform the user via an interface. The system can identify system malfunctions and thus prevent downtime and refrigerant leaks, which are harmful to the environment.

LAMBERTVILLE — Authorities said a 74-year-old man jumped to his death off the New Hope-Lambertville Route 202 Toll Bridge.
The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, was pulled from the water near the New Hope free bridge shortly after 1:30 p.m. today by Lambertville rescue and was declared dead at the scene, according to the Star-Ledger of Newark.
“There doesn’t seem to be any foul play,” State Police Sgt. Adam Grossman told the newspaper. “Preliminary investigation indicates it may be a suicide.”
The 1,053-foot, steel truss bridge spans the Delaware River and connects the town of Lambertville with New Hope, Pa.
The six-span bridge was built in 1814, according to reports.

Liquid CO2 is expanded in a special nozzle. The developing dry ice will be shot by compressed air to the parts which have to be cleaned. The fine particles remove slackly adhesive dust or oil from the surface.
Messer covers the whole range of CO2 distribution for the snow cleaning process. Especially automation needs a constant distribution of liquid CO2 for the snow cleaning nozzles. A liquid pump helps to install a ring system so that liquid CO2 is non stop available at the point of use. Due to our cooperation with partners in this field we fulfill the necessities to make trials previously to find the best nozzles for the task.

I specialize in Hawaiian Massage, Lomi Lomi. It is a sensual and deeply spiritual practice that takes the giver ana receiver to another world. The movements are long and fluid strokes, imitating lava or ocean waves. It is considered a great honor in Hawaii, thought to be an opening for intuition and Visions of what a persons purpose and role is in the community. I also offer organic plant based skin care and supplements for inner health. But the business is mainly focused on the healing powers of Lomi Lomi. That is my gift. The gift of magic hands. 💚💜💚

I loved this design in a Japanese menu. The woman with the light coming out is beautiful. Kala means no limits in Hawaiian. Sol means light. So unlimited light coming from the woman (me) really resonates with the mission:) I would love to see something similar but with a Hawaiian flower (plumeria) in the Hair.
I like the blue and the circular shape of the logo. My friend painted it. But I thought it was hard to read the business name. Just didn’t feel right. I like it, but I don’t love it.
This is a picture of me in Hawaii doing my thing. It’s what I use for the fliers.
Just to get you in the aloha state of mind
Just to give you that aloha frame of mind. This is how Lomi Lomi makes you feel- free!
You never know where Lomi Lomi will take you...sometimes you find swings in the middle of the woods :)
The connection I have with people through this practice is miraculous. It can’t be described
And it can also be a playful experience
Always asking to be a vessel, always
Artsy picture I like of a Lomi Lomi sessionmor
Just another pic to add to the spirit of Lomi Lomi
I love silhouettes. I love plumeria flowers. Rays of light. And colors of nature. I like organic but sophisticated. So grateful for everyone working on this. I can’t wait to see the results!

Review Brew: Harley Quinn and the Suicide Squad April Fool’s Special #1
As a newbie to comic books, my knowledge of Harley Quinn stems from her appearances in pop culture and video games. I know Harley as the delightfully insane companion to the Joker with her own sense of sick, twisted humor. I see her on t-shirts, posters, and fanart. Nerds talk about her all the time, and she’s a big focus on all the upcoming Suicide Squad trailers. Even the non-comic fan knows of her unique character. This basic understanding of Harley’s complex personality worked in my favor when I picked this issue up.
There are two covers available: one that reflects actual reality, and one that reflects the reality which Harley has created in her own mind (you spend equal time in both).
So begins her story…
We find Harley in her apartment, feeling bored and beaten up over being a super-villain, when a knock on the door offers her a new outlook on life. She realizes her new direction is to become a psychiatrist to the super-villains. Immediately she gets to work with her first unwilling patient, The Man-Bat. Things don’t quite go as planned and Harley is rendered unconscious, but not before a mysterious figure rescues her from incarceration. This is when the artwork shifts to a child-like art style to emphasize that this is all going on in her mind. She wakes up in a quaint psychiatrist’s office where she begins to see super-villains ranging from Killer Moth to The Toymaker. However, like every professional super-villain, she gets bored doing the right thing and goes back to her insane ways. The final twist creates a set up for the Suicide Squad in film and future comics.
The disproportionate items confined within each panel (no out-of-panel drawings here) frame just how wild, yet constricting Harley’s story is. The artists, split between panels 1 – 10, 11-20, and 21-30, split Harley’s world between reality (drawn by Jim Lee) and her mind (drawn by Sean “Cheeks” Galloway). By having her mind drawn in childish themes, the comic emphasizes her insanity without saying a word. The large items and big heads make her imagination almost seem cute. However, the writer, Rob Williams, interjects reminders that what she’s doing isn’t cute, but psychotic. Then, to help drive the point, the artwork changes and we’re back to the same insane world that the story started in.
The overall joke is the irony of a super-villain psychiatrist treating other super-villains with the hope of curing them. No matter how hard Harley tries, she can’t be anything other than bad. The Joker knows this (with his brief appearance), the audience knows it, and Harley eventually knows it. However, it’s still fun to play along with the idea, especially since it’s an April Fool’s Special.
I give this issue 4 out of 5 giant hammers.

Usually Coil Spring comes in Various Types, but the Three Common Types of Coil Springs are Compression Springs, Extension Springs and Torsion Springs. Coil Springs are designed to satisfy Four Operating requirements i.e. Energy, Space, Environment and Service.
Energy : All of the above Four Operating requirements Energy is considered on Priority in Coil Spring Design because a Spring is defined as a Device for Storing Energy and Energy is function of Load and Travel (Deflection), thus the Energy of Coil Springs can be specified as follows :
• Two Loads at Two Lengths.
• Rate and a Load at a Length.
• Free Load and a Load at a Length.
Space : Space is defined as the operating envelope, the area in which Coil Springs will be used. In case of a Compression Spring, this may be the hole into which the Spring fits, the rod over which it operates.
Environment : Environmental factors include Heat, Cold and Corrosion. Select a material to suit the environment in which the Coil Springs operate and automatically choose a modulus of rigidity and material strength.
Service : Finally, the intended Service of Coil Springs helps to decide how much of material strength should be use. Whether Coil Springs require Service i.e. Static or Dynamic?, Is the range of Stress is large or Small? These questions helps us to decide the ultimate strength to be used for Coil Springs.
The Combination of above Four Operating requirements gives us a World Class Quality Product.

The optimal anti-oxidant
The way to measure an appropriate or ‘optimal’ anti-oxidant is not only by its ability to counteract free radicals but primarily by its safety and versatility, say Dr Vladimir Badmaev and Dr Muhammed Majeed in the concluding part
Health and Disease-II
To support the anti-oxidant system of the body, we may resort to supplemental vitamins, minerals and natural compounds such as phenolics or flavonoids, which have the ability to counteract free radical damage. Measured anti-oxidant supplementation is particularly recommended when the anti-oxidant defense is gradually overwhelmed despite proper nutritional and behavioural modifications.
This negative occurrence may be due to the aging process, disease, the wear and tear of daily pressures, or from forcible physical exercise, as in the case of professional athletes.
The way to measure an appropriate or ‘optimal’ anti-oxidant is not only by its ability to counteract free radicals but primarily by its safety and versatility (first do no harm). Effective and safe anti-oxidants scavenge free radicals at the cost of becoming weak and short-lived free radicals themselves. Ideally, these ‘second-hand’ free radicals should be unreactive products, and should not pose a health hazard. Some synthetic anti-oxidants like BHT or BHA commonly used in the food industry, although powerful scavengers, result in the formation of long-lasting ‘second hand’ free radicals.
The other important aspect of an effective and safe anti-oxidant’s use is to remember that ‘more’ is not necessarily ‘better.’ This means that the anti-oxidant should be used in a quantity that preserves the balance in the body, without shifting that balance into inhibiting the physiological or natural oxidative processes. A useful addition to the vocabulary on effective and safe anti-oxidants is the term ‘bioprotectant.’
Anti-oxidants with bioprotectant effects have been defined in laboratory analyses to show that they can prevent free radicals formation in the first place and intervene to neutralize free radicals which have already been formed. This definition of bioprotectant activity is based on original research by the authors in cooperation with Rutgers University in New Jersey.
The three main phenolic anti-oxidants, or curcuminoids, that were isolated from turmeric root (Curcuma longa fam. Zingiberaceae) in specific proportions, ie. curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bisdemethoxy curcumin fit into the definition of an anti-oxidant compound that is also a bioprotectant. It should be noted that relatively few anti-oxidants nutrients have bioprotectant activities, and most natural and synthetic anti-oxidants can only intervene or quench free radicals.
Interestingly, curcuminoids besides being versatile anti-oxidants exert an anti-inflammatory mechanism which is more precise and safe than that of aspirin. For example, a recent study on curcuminoids done at the prestigious Sloan-Kettering Cancer Research Center in New York showed that the anti-inflammatory mechanism of curcuminoids operates by suppressing the enzyme cylooxygenase type 2 (Cox-2) which excessive activity is responsible for manufacturing the inflammatory compounds (eg. prostaglandin thromboxane) in the body (the daily recommended anti-oxidant dose of curcuminoids is 50-150 mg; the anti-inflammatory dose is 500 mg tid).
A particular group of anti-oxidant ingredients that should be mention are those which can play a preventive and positive nutritional role in a disease. Nowhere is the need for an appropriate anti-oxidant supplementation more obvious than in the devastating disease of diabetes. The course of diabetes, particularly the adult onset type (NIDDM or type II diabetes), if diagnosed in its early stages can be dramatically improved with life style and dietary modification, including the use of anti-oxidants. Oxidative stress is one of the major mechanisms in diabetics that leads to accelerated cataract formation and eye retina damage with resulting blindness, as well as nervous and cardiovascular system damage (accelerated atherosclerosis being a major cause of mortality among diabetics).
Some important anti-oxidants in managing diabetes include alpha lipoic acid (used successfully in Europe for several decades to alleviate diabetes caused neuropathy and retinopathy), standardized extract of Momordica charantia (fam. Cucurbitaceae), and Gymnema sylvestre (fam. Asclepiadecae), minerals like L(+)selenomethionine, zinc monomethionine, magnesium citrate, organic forms of vanadium, and a body-made anti-oxidant Coenzyme Q10. These nutrients, besides being anti-oxidants, can be considered useful in the nutritional support of diabetes.
Selenium, especially in organic form like selenomethionine, is one of the most versatile anti-oxidant minerals. Selenium is an essential trace element in nutrition for the prevention of disease in humans. Epidemiological studies indicate an association between low nutritional selenium status and increased risks of cardiomyopathy, cardiovascular disease and carcinogenesis in various sites of the body. The role of selenium supplementation in the prevention of a virus infection (eg prevention of HIV related pathology) has been considered.
Selenoproteins (proteins with selenium in their structure) discovered in mammalian cells may
account for the essentiality of selenium in the body antioxidant defense (selenium is indispensable in function of glutathione system), the thyroid hormone function, the immune system function, particularly the cellular immunity, formation of sperm and functioning of the prostate gland.
The nutritionally recommended dose of elemental selenium is estimated at 50 to 200 micrograms per day. Another less known and increasingly discussed anti-oxidant is Coenzyme Q10. The nutritional supplementation of coenzyme Q10, a ubiquitous body made molecule, is of clinical significance since its deficiency has been found in course of aging, physical exhaustion, in patients with diabetes, and with ischemic heart disease. Supplementation with coenzyme Q10 (daily recommended dose 50 to 120 mg) has been shown to be beneficial in nutritional support of congestive heart failure, dyslipidemia, complications of diabetes, Parkinson’s syndrome and as a potential therapy in some forms of male infertility.
Last but not least, the optimal nutritional support with anti-oxidants should take into consideration the bioavailability, and especially the gastrointestinal absorption, of a supplemented anti-oxidant. To paraphrase the old adage: you are what you eat as well as what you absorb. Bioperine is a patented natural product designed for enhancement of broad range of nutrient bioavailability.
Bioperine consists of 95 per cent pure natural alkaloid piperine, a pungent principle derived from fruits of black pepper. The increased nutrient absorption in the presence of Bioperine has been achieved with 5mg of the compound co-administered with the supplemented nutrient. Bioperine has been evaluated with fat soluble beta-carotene, water soluble vitamin B6, vitamin C, Coenzyme Q10 and mineral selenium in the form of L-selenomethionine in human volunteers.
The mechanism(s) by which piperine increases the absorption of diversified nutrients is likely a non-specific and operate directly in the gastrointestinal tract. These mechanisms may involve increased gastrointestinal blood supply, increased micelle formation, and epithelial cell wall modification due to the lipophilic nature of the compound. The most interesting mode of action of piperine may be due to its postulated thermogenic properties and the increase in bioenergetic processes (creating increased demand for the supplied nutrient) in the gastrointestinal epithelium described in literature as its thermonutrient activity.
In summary, the perspective of anti-oxidants and their nutritional use in medical practice should be considered in the context of how they can be used to balance the processes that lead to formation of free radicals – the oxidative processes. Only with this perspective can we make a wise choice helping our body, instead of adding a new health burden.

Philippines gaming regulator PAGCOR says it has cut the number of platform providers offering services to online gaming operators to “a little under 200” under its Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGO) scheme.
Speaking to reporters in Manila this week, PAGCOR boss Andrea Domingo said the figure represented a huge reduction compared with almost 30,000 illegal operations that had previously flouted the nation’s online gaming regulations.
“We are serious about implementing President Duterte’s directive to stamp out illegal online gambling,” Domingo said, according to the Inquirer. “We will not stop under they are eradicated.”
Her comments came as the government unveiled a new inter-agency council aimed at combatting illegal online gambling activities in the Philippines, with PAGCOR set to work more closely with the Philippines National Police, National Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Immigration and the Office of Cybercrime.
PAGCOR recently revealed that POGO had contributed revenue of Php7.365 billion (US$139.3 million) in 2018 – almost double the amount contributed in the previous year.

The Berlin Feminist Film Week is a film festival with focus on feminist films and discourse, aiming to not only tackle the quantitative issue of representation and diversity but also the misrepresentation and qualitative issue of diversity in mainstream cinema. The Berlin Feminist Film Week is Germany's biggest feminist film festival: we welcome submissions from all women, queer, trans and LGBTQI* filmmakers out there from any country in the world.
As of now, the patriarchy controls storytelling and most films are made from a white cis-male perspective. Women, PoC and queer filmmakers are underrepresented in front as well as behind the camera and we think that everyone deserves to be represented and truly represented in the stories the world gets to see. Not only at big festivals but in cinemas, there is a true lack of diversity and though our festival is small, we hope that we can inspire others to change this.
We seek to increase visibility for all femtastic filmmakers out there and highlight films with interesting, complex female characters and films which challenge existing gender norms. Our focus is mainly on film made by non-cis-gendered men, as they already have enough ground in the film industry. In the majority of all movies currently shown in cinemas around the world, women are often founding in supporting roles, people of color as well LGBTQ*, queer and non-gender-conforming characters get even less screen time. Not to mention characters combining these. We want to put forward female and minority filmmakers, films featuring women *, films in which women are portrayed as active rather than passive, in which women play the leading role and movies in which women are as interesting and diverse as in real life.
Our ambition is to show a varied and diverse program with films from multiple genres from different parts of the world and explore feminism via cinematic experiences. We aim for this festival to be accessible and inclusive for everyone. Feminism take many shapes and forms, even a not explicitly feminist film plot can be changing the gender norms. But feminism can also be very subjective, what might be empowering for us might not be so for you. Therefore we try to incorporate discussions and dialogues around our films and welcome an interactive dialogue with our guests.
We welcome everyone who considers themselves a feminist filmmaker to submit film to the Berlin Feminist Film Week, however please respect our mission as state above as our aim is to provide space to female, non-binary, queer and trans filmmakers. The 7th edition of the Berlin Feminist Film Week will take place in March 2020. Keep an eye out for upcoming programs, find us on Facebook or subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to date.
Please include the following in your submission:
- Film file / Link with English subtitles (unless the film is in English)
- Three stills from film (300 dpi)
- One photo of the filmmaker (300 dpi) and a short biography
- Short and long description of the film
- Trailer if available
Audience Award for best short film
Our terms and conditions apply:
- Films have to have relevance for feminism and the feminist discourse, but does not have to explicitly deal with the topic of feminism and/or gender roles. Any narrative, which moves beyond the cis-male (white) characters or mainstream cinema is relevant to our festival.
- Shorts are any films under 40 min, features anything above 40 min.
- We accept films from any genre and of any length.
- Year of completion does not matter, we accept films from any year as long as relevant to the festival.
- We like Berlin premieres, it is, however, no must.
- Please note our mission statement, we are dedicated to providing a space for filmmakers, who are usually underrepresented in the film industry (women, trans, non-binary, PoC, queer filmmakers) and films made by cis-male filmmakers will only be accepted as an exception.
- The submitter must be entitled to submit the film and the legal rights to screen it.
- Submission does not guarantee acceptance, the team of Berlin Feminist Film Week will select the films for the festival and the submitter will be notified if the film has been accepted. Please note that we do not have the capacity to contact all filmmakers personally. We will send out notifications to selected filmmakers via FilmFreeway and reply to non-selected filmmakers if we have the capacity to do so.
- We have to be notified of any screening fees in the initial submission or else it will be assumed that the film can be screened free of charge. Screening fees might affect acceptance.
- We do not return any material sent to us.
- The submission fee is non-refundable.
- By submitting a film the filmmakers, copyright owners, and distribution rights owners agree to have the film screened if selected for the program. We might also re-screen films for future short film programs curated by the Berlin Feminist Film Week.
- We reserve the right to use the stills and images for our promotional material such as the website, our program or our press releases with no further mention of photo credit.
- For submission, it will be enough to send a link to Vimeo or similar with a password and once the film has been accepted, we will let in which format we will need the screening copy. If the screening format is DCP only, this has to be communicated to us at the time of submission.
- Shipping costs / digital transfer costs have to be paid by the filmmaker.
- Please contact us if your country has sanctions on Paypal, we're happy to help out.
If you have any questions please contact us at email@example.com. Looking forward to your work!

This morning I slept in for once and it felt great! This was breakfast: berries, a few slices of banana, homemade pecan butter, and 2 scrambled eggs.
Lunch was my unstuffed peppers!
Dinner will be zucchini noodles that I prepped Friday.
I had a pretty killer workout this morning. I planned it last night. I must say... I am loving the HIIT style of working out the last two days. If you are trying to read this picture it may be a little confusing. I took a screen shot of the notes in my phone, so start on the left. It ends with 6 pushups so then go to the right photo and find where it says 6 pushups and pick up there! I like to try to give people workouts they can do at home with little equipment. If you don't have a bench to use for this workout, find something you can use a a step up. You could use stairs or a chair. For the bench jumps, you could use a bench in the park or get creative and think of something else to use. If you do not know what some of these moves are, refer to yesterday's post!
After my workout, I decided to soak up a little sun since it has been rainy here for over 2 weeks. Once I got to the pool the sun only stayed out for about 30 minutes. I was pretty bummed, but some sun is better than no sun at all.
The rest of my day will be spent watching netflix and looking over notes and lesson plans for this week of classes.

In the second commentary article in a series for Financer Worldwide, Emma Clark, head of business development, UK and Europe at Falcon Group, discusses that as oil revenues continue suffer and bank liquidity dries throughout the GCC region, corporates will continue to seek alternative means of financing than traditional bank lending.
Unhampered by the same regulatory restraints that regional and global banks face, alternative finance firms have been able to fund corporates’ day to day operations and growth through innovative solutions and by tailoring financing solutions to clients’ needs. In fact, the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance reported that total African and Middle East alternative finance markets grew by 59 percent in 2015.
With the global reach and adaptability these firms provide, corporates often find that specialist financers can accommodate their individual goals to a greater extent than traditional house banks. However, specialist financers should not be considered competitors to the banks, rather partners. Specialist financing can be combined with bank lending to achieve the best of both worlds: the resources of a global bank and the flexibility of a specialist.

No Justice in Sterlite Case So Far, How Long for Jeyaraj-Beniks?
The police firing during the anti-Sterlite protests and the Jeyaraj- Beniks incident are proof of police brutality.
(This article was first published on 2 July 2020 and has been reposted from The Quint’s archives on the death anniversary of Jeyaraj and Beniks.)
A father and son. When they left home on 19 June to open shop, little did they know that it would be their last day seeing their family. By night, they were lying down in the Sathankulam police station bloodied and moaning in pain. The alleged brutal custodial death of Jeyaraj and Beniks sparked massive outrage with many demanding justice and condemning police brutality.
Injuries found on the bodies of the deceased, as mentioned in the postmortem report and the Magistrate's report citing accounts of several eyewitnesses can serve as prima facie evidence to charge the Sathankulam police with counts of murder, said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on 30 June.
Finally, after 11 days of uproar, inspector Sridhar, sub-inspector Balakrishnan and Raghuganesh and constable Murugan were arrested by CB-CID under IPC 302 (murder).
Constable Muthuraj has been held by the police but his name has not been added to the first information report (FIR) yet.
However, within 24 hours since the Kovilpatti Magistrate told the Madurai bench of the Madras High Court, that Thoothukudi Assistant Superintendent of Police D Kumar and Deputy Superintendent of Police C Prathaban had threatened him during the inquiry, they were given new postings.
This incident took place in Sathankulam in Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu and the district has been quite infamous for police brutality.
The Anti Sterlite Fight
I recall visiting 17-year-old Snowlin’s family back in May 2018, when an unconsolable mother said she couldn’t sleep or eat as the sight of her daughter dropping dead to the ground was still fresh in her mind.
“Stand up for us. Stand up against Sterlite,” were some of her last words and then just silence, she had told.
“If we intended to make a ruckus, would we have taken little children for the protest?,” her mother had asked.
On 22 May 2018, police had opened fire on a crowd of men, women and children, who were protesting against the Vedanta-owned copper smelter plant, accusing the factory of polluting their groundwater and causing cancer.
Autopsy reports had revealed that twelve of the 13 protesters were hit by bullets in the head or chest, and half of those were shot from behind. Two others died after bullets pierced the sides of their heads.
In the case of the youngest victim, Snowlin, a bullet had entered the back of her head and exited through her mouth, the autopsy report stated.
Police rules in India allow the use of live ammunition to counter civil unrest, but the response should not be -- shoot to kill.
Again, no police officers were charged in connection with the killings.
The Long Wait for CBI Report
The CBI was given the task of investigating the shootings and on 20 September 2019, the team submitted its status report before the Madras High Court bench.
When the bench sought to know the developments of the investigation, the CBI said that the probe was going on without any hitch.
Various political parties, including the DMK, had expressed dissatisfaction over the ''slow progress'' in the investigation.
Similarly, in the case of Jeyaraj and Beniks, following the state government order, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over the investigation.
Several activists have slammed the government for this move stating that considering the number of witnesses and evidence there is, this could be dealt with quicker and put to trial and a CBI investigation would just drag it all out.
However, many other analysts believe this would serve to be fair method.
“CBI investigation is the right way to go, as the accused are members of the state police. It is better that an external agency does the probe. Otherwise, you will have a colleague doing the investigation. Even if they do a proper investigation, it will be suspect,” political analyst Sumanth Raman told The Quint.
However, the prolonged delay is not acceptable, many noted.
“Clearly, it should take at most a year to come to a conclusion about who gave the orders to fire, what was the cause for provocation, and was it justified…because you are dealing with an established chain of command. It is disappointing that it is dragging on.”Sumanth Raman, Political Analyst
Thoothukudi Not an Isolated Case
The custodial deaths of the father and son duo has created a nationwide uproar, just like the anti-Sterlite protests. But this police excess is not isolated to Thoothukudi alone.
DMK MP Kanimozhi had recently slammed the state government stating that according to the National Crime Records Bureau, Tamil Nadu stands at the second position when it comes to lockup deaths. “Not even a single charge-sheet has been filed and no one has been punished. This situation must change,” she said.
“Very often the police excess and custodial deaths happen in Tier-2, Tier-3 cities. In metro cities, it will be picked up by the media and there is a lot of uproar. And this is serving as a restraining influence. The SP and the Collector are like the king of the district and that level of impunity trickles down to the constable also,” said Sumanth Raman.
Many experts suggested that in order to avoid such brutality, it is imperative that the Prevention of Torture Bill be passed.
The Bill was introduced to ratify the UN Convention against Torture of 1975 and seeks to provide for punishment for torture committed by government officials. However, experts have pointed out that the delay has been caused by the state governments who do not want “their police force to be accountable,“ said Raman.

Curiosity. A word with a tinkling, magical sort of quality. One source refers to it as, “The fuel for development.” But I read something recently that said there seems to be a curious absence of curiosity in children these days, as they are “raised in a culture of reality shows and endless deconstruction of the melodramas of other people’s lives.” That’s a mouthful, but it does make me wonder. Are kids as curious as they used to be? Do they self-question and self-reflect? Or is most of life one big feeding tube of information for them?
As a writer, this concerns me. A lot. How far do we raise the bar of “story” in order to cultivate curiosity in our readers? I’m speaking in generalities here – I know there will always be those children or young people who read voraciously, for the pleasure of reading. But what about the average child or young adult reader? At what point do we allow the the story to lose its purity as “literature” and be turned into a techno melting pot instituted to capture waning curiosity in the reader? Where do we draw the line? Or do we?

Versett leads the charge for change
Raising awareness for diversity and inclusion in tech
Last year, digital product consultancy Versett took home the first Diversity & Inclusion Leader Award from our Be Local Awards. The award recognized Versett’s work towards a diverse tech industry, and they haven’t stopped there.
“We wanted to become leaders in our industry,” says Vinciane de Pape -- Versett’s Director of People and Culture, who’s leading the charge for inclusion and education within the office and beyond.
“There’s a host of research that supports why it’s beneficial for business reasons, but ultimately we know it’s the right thing to do. We wanted to show that you can be a highly successful, profitable company and still be at the forefront of diversity and inclusion initiatives.”
Versett’s initiatives have included articles and annual reports, and internal education through workshops covering topics such as “ally skills,” which Vinciane says “is a more empowering way to say ‘bystander intervention training.’”
“I really had to dig for examples that could apply for that particular workshop. These situations can be highly nuanced.”
To be a good ally, Vinciane says it starts with knowing you will make mistakes. The terminology that was acceptable even a few years ago may not be okay today, and “having the humility to admit that you were wrong, and the commitment to try hard. We’re constantly trying to learn.”
“We’re really fortunate that everyone at Versett is already so socially-conscious and progressive,” she says, recalling back in June when she and a colleague were getting t-shirts made with the Versett logo in the Pride and Transgender flag colours for Pride Month. She put the call out to the rest of the office, and was delighted to find that every single one wanted in on the shirts.
This staunch effort for diversity and inclusion at Versett has accidentally become a sort of vetting procedure for new hires.
“Being open and receptive is really important to allyship. And believing the experiences of those from marginalized groups, because they probably know best.”

Garth Patrick Beams of Tualatin was sentenced to life in prison by a Washington County circuit court judge last month for beating his 74-year-old mother to death with a baseball bat in 2018.
Beams was convicted on Aug. 25 of second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon in the attack on his mother, author and screenwriter Wendy Henson, and subsequently sentenced by circuit court Judge Ricardo Menchaca. He will be eligible for parole after 25 years.
On July 19, 2018, Beams, then 47, called 911, telling the dispatcher he had “clobbered” his mother inside their Southwest 72 Avenue Home. He remained on the call for 15 minutes, complaining about his mother. When asked to render aid to Henson, Beams told the dispatcher he wasn’t interested in helping.
Tualatin police found Henson inside the home with multiple head injuries. She was transported to Oregon Health and Science University Hospital, where she died later from the injuries.
Beams, who lived with his mother, was diagnosed in 1995 with schizophrenia and was the subject of a conservatorship, according to court records.
“This was a cruel, unprovoked attack on a disabled, elderly woman,” Washington County Deputy District Attorney Rayney Meisel said in her closing argument. “Garth Beams killed Wendy Henson. He did it out of frustration. He did it out of rage. He killed her. Brutally, intentionally, eternally.”
Henson is survived by another son, Michael Beams, who also lived in the home at the time of the attack.
“Garth’s crime shattered what was left of our family,” Michael Beams told the court. “There are only broken pieces to pick up. I feel stuck in a boxing match, fighting against bitterness and outrage. In addition to dealing with the grief, moving out of the house was economically implausible for me. In a nasty twist of fate, every day, to this day, I have to walk past the location where [my brother] felled mom.”
Henson, a former college screenwriting instructor, was the author of multiple plays, screenplays, novellas and a textbook.
Her 2018 novella, Honor Song, was adapted from an earlier award-winning screenplay.
Henson was passionate about the arts and loved talking about movies, writing and the actors who brought scripts to life.
She wrote the reoccurring movie review column, Now Playing, for this paper.

Mandy Moore showed off her charitable side on Monday (19Sep11) by hosting an event for an anti-malaria organisation in New York.
The pop star stepped on stage to oversee the United Nations' Roll Back Malaria reception, which attracted more than 400 guests including heads of state, royalty and singers Youssou N'Dour and Yvonne Chaka Chaka.
Officials at the event, which marked 10 years in the fight against malaria, announced there has been a 40 per cent fall in cases of the disease, but Moore insists it is important to keep up fundraising efforts.
She says, "I think now is a really critical time to continue the momentum that this movement has garnered in the last 10 years in order to meet that millennium development goal by 2015. It's important to continue to raise awareness and to continue to raise funds and to not stop now because so much headway has been made."

“It is clear that the United States has some strategy which I believe entails staying in Syria forever with its armed forces… They are gearing up for separating a huge part of Syria from the rest of the country, violating Syria’s sovereignty of territorial integrity. There they will create quasi-local authorities, will try to create autonomy based on the Kurds,” Lavrov told Euronews in an interview.
The Russian Foreign Minister has stressed that Washington has deployed its forces in the war-torn country without a sanction from the United Nations of a request from the legitimate Syrian government in Damascus.
Lavrov's interview follows a statement from Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, who said on Thursday that the US had, in fact, created an "occupation" zone in the al-Tanf area. She added the US-controlled area was used by the remains of Daesh militants.
She also stressed that the US military "entered into a virtually open confrontation with the Syrian army" by openly supporting allied Kurdish militant groups.
The US has been conducting airstrikes in Syria as part of the international coalition's campaign to eradicate Daesh in the country. The US military coalition that consists of over 70 members has neither been authorized by the Syrian government nor the UN Security Council.

It feels like an indulgence, but let me tell you, it can stop you from burning out and help you be even more productive in your life and business.
You probaby think writing isn’t for you, you might worry about spelling, punctuation and grammar. Trust me, none of that is important. We’re more interested in what you have to say rather than how you say it. You cannot go wrong in this workshop because the subject you are discussing is you.

- Above is episode 107 ("It's a New Day") of Being the Elite featuring Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E. The trio were on this episode as Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks challenged The New Day in Street Fighter V at last week's E3. Both WWE and ROH helped promote the showdown with New Day winning the team series (2-1) while Kenny Omega defeated Xavier Woods in a first-to-five series. At the end of the video Kenny, Matt, and Nick thought it was so great beating New Day at E3 they know they could beat them in another place, like maybe a wrestling ring?
- ROH's next event is the Best in the World PPV in Baltimore, Maryland on June 29. After that, ROH will be holding the following events: Fairfax Excellence (Fairfax, Virginia - June 30), Honor for All (Nashville, Tennessee - July 20), and Saturday Night at Center Stage (Atlanta, Georgia - July 21).
- On social media, indie wrestler Bea Priestley has been campaigning for a dog (specifically, a pug) and her boyfriend Will Ospreay was doing everything he could to avoid getting one. He finally made a deal with her if she sold all of her shirts at an event over the weekend she could get one, but came up a bit short. He gave her until midnight to sell the shirts and that's when Cody Rhodes helped gets sales moving, much to Ospreay's dismay. The shirts eventually sold out and Priestley wants to name the dog, "Hagrid."
There's 10 left...— Cody Rhodes (@CodyRhodes) June 17, 2018
and a pug on the line. Anybody I see wearing this shirt, if there's a bar within reach, I'll buy you a drink...
I had pugs growing up. Y'all want Will to slow down...nothing is slower than a friendly/no flips pug. ?? https://t.co/PNTCIKvBBU
I never ask others to do what I wouldn't do myself https://t.co/jEeUhWb39T— Cody Rhodes (@CodyRhodes) June 17, 2018

In this paper, I develop a sociological theory about how the U.S. Congress works as a racialized governing institution and workplace from the perspectives of Black workers employed there. Black workers’ status as outsiders within an elite political institution provide a unique standpoint from which to examine the intersections of racism, power, and citizenship in the U.S. federal legislature. Theorizing from this marginalized standpoint challenges existing theories about what Congress is, what it does, and who it serves. This approach provides at least three different lenses for analyzing how Congress works. As opposed to a democratic governing institution, this standpoint identifies Congress as an illiberal lawmaking body that instrumental in creating and upholding the racial order. Secondly, its workplace is an inequality regime that trains, socializes, and credentials a white power elite. Analyzing the career of Black legislative workers, I show how congressional work is racially stratified, how physical space is segregated, and how identities and interactions are racialized. And finally, while White elites have dominated positions Congress using their numbers to advance white interests an institutionalized Black political class has coalesced there to resist an illiberal policymaking agenda and advance racial minorities political and social rights. In this way, Congress is simultaneously a site of racial domination and a Black capitol, where Black workers have used their status as legislative employees and citizens to challenge inequality. Thus, I identify Congress as a complex social institution and contested space. I define Congress as a multi-dimensional institution, inhabited by different groups that pursue cross-cutting goals and through which resources and opportunities are distributed. These social relations make and remake the contours of Congress as a racialized governing institution.

The Most Influential Women Of 2018
Pressley is a force who's about to make some major waves in Congress along with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Pressley was the first Black woman elected to the Boston City Council, then this past November became the first Black woman to be elected to Congress from the state of Massachusetts. In her victory speech she said, "My mother did not raise me to ask for permission to lead." And, just like that, a leader was born.

How does a 2016 F1 steering wheel work?
Formula One is known for its use of technology in sport.
Honda Racing F1 recently tweeted several pictures of McLaren’s steering wheel pointing out various functions of each button. So, let’s take an in-depth look into the functioning of the new generation F1 steering wheel.
Here is the tweet by the Honda Racing F1 account:
In the centre, there's an LCD Screen which is capable of displaying more than 100 pages of information to the driver. The driver can use the +/- buttons to access various pages of information regarding lap time, engine status, ERS harvest etc. Also, all the warning messages are also displayed on the screen in the event of a component failure.
Above the LCD screen, there are gear lights which aid the driver in gear change.
Energy recovery harvest dial: This is used to control the harvest, that is the amount of energy to be harvested by the MGU-K (Motor Generator unit-Kinetic) under braking which then ultimately gets stored in the battery. But, the way this works isn't so simple.
Say as the driver goes into a corner and he starts braking, two simultaneous processes occur, one is the routine action of the mechanical brakes which is obvious, the second is that the kinetic energy instead of it flowing to the wheels is shunted away towards rotating the MGU-K. So, the car slows down due to the combined action of the brakes and due to shunting away of the kinetic energy from the wheels to the MGU-K. This changes the balance of the car significantly under braking, depending on the harvest status.
And, so comes the usage of the term "Brake-by-wire".
Radio button: As the name suggest, the driver presses this button to talk with his engineer on the pit wall.
Neutral button: The gear change levers are mounted on the back of the steering wheel but the driver can’t engage neutral or reverse using those levers. So, there’s a separate button for the purpose. Depending on how many times it is pressed the car is engaged into neutral or reverse.
The role is merely protective, as during a lap when the driver is downshifting if neutral/reverse is engaged via the gear levers mounted on the back it would lead to significant loss of time and also puts lot of load on the gearbox.
Overtake button: This button basically puts all the settings into “Max Mode”, that is the engine would have Rich fuel mixture plus the ERS would be operating at its maximum capacity giving the driver additional boost.
Message OK “X” button: This button is used to acknowledge a request made via the radio or pit board. Having this button has become ever more important with restrictions on radio communications being in place for the 2016 season.
Differential Settings dial: This dial is used to control the power output to the wheels, that is it basically controls the speed at which a wheel is rotating corresponding with the wheel of opposite side.
Say the driver goes into a left-hander, then the right wheel has to cover a greater distance than the left wheel so the differential instructs the right wheel to rotate at a higher speed than the left.
By changing differential entry and exit setting the driver can dial out understeer or oversteer based on his preference
Brake Balance dial: This dial is used to adjust the front and rear brake bias, that is the amount of braking energy that is to be transferred to the front and rear brakes. So, it is used to control the splitting of the brake energy. This dial is used in conjunction with ERS harvest dial as with the brake-by-wire in place, the ECU checks the amount of harvest before splitting the bias.
Launch Map switch: This blue switch is used to adjust launch settings that are mainly related to clutch such as the clutch bite point.
Pit-Lane speed limit button: As the name indicates this button is used by the driver to maintain the speed to the restricted limit while he is in the pits.
Engine Map dial: Using this dial the driver can put the engine either into “rich mode” or “lean mode”. These are well-defined presents which can be used by the driver depending on the situation he currently is in.
Say if he is engaged in a wheel to wheel battle he can fine tune the settings so that he gets maximum power from the engine, or say if the safety car is deployed he can conserve the fuel and energy by putting the engine into a lean mode.
DRS button: Pressing this button opens the wing flap at the rear thus maximising top speed while reducing drag. This is used by the driver in the DRZ zone which are designated for each track. During a race if a driver is within 1 second of the car ahead he can engage DRS in the DRS zone to get a top speed advantage thus allowing him to overtake the car.
Drink: Hydration is very important for an F1 driver particularly when racing in hot and humid environmental conditions, so by pressing this button the fluid is delivered to the driver via the pipe.
Now, coming to the various rotators:
The central rotator is used for changing tyre settings. Say if the driver changes from a dry tyre to wet tyre then the circumference of the wet tyre is different so to adjust the suspension and other settings the rotatory dial is used.
By changing the settings on the rotator the driver can adjust the performance based on the tyre in use, also, the rotator can be used by the driver to indicate the state of tyre degradation to his pit crew. This is particularly important following the introduction of radio restrictions for 2016 season.
There is also a preset “puncture setting” which adjusts the engine power in such a way that the driver doesn’t exceed a particular speed thus preventing damage to the rim and other suspension components.
The other two rotators are multi-functional for the chassis and the power unit and are used to adjust an array of functions which do not have a dedicated button, like air-fuel ratio , turbo-compressor, MGU-K recovery limits , MGU-K boost limits, dashboard options etc.

MBALE- People in Bugisu Sub-region have been told to embrace tree planting as one of the ways of reducing the current disastrous events.
The Sub-region is experiencing heavy rainfall which has caused thick flooding in many parts, leaving locals homeless and with no food.
Manafwa, Namisidwa and Bududa are some of the highly affected localities.
Elgon Tree Planting Entrepreneurs (ETPE), a local Non Governmental Organization is mobilizing locals to start plating trees in quest to avert further bad effects in near future.
According to ETPE, the current disasters are caused by people who have cut down trees and left the land bare and susceptible to floods.
Francis Aluka the coordinator of the organization says that they are looking at planting over 10 million tress in Bugisu Sub-region and her surroundings.
“We are doing this to see that we can reduce on the climatic changes that are occurring in our districts. We have started with Rwangoro in Mbale district,” Aluka said.
James Mwale, the District Forest Officer for Mbale concurred with Aluka’s statement on tree cutting, adding that cutting down of tress leave the soils bare and crops always affected by strong winds.
