A pandemic drone, that monitors temperature, heart and respiratory rates, is being developed to detect the coronavirus.
Fitted with specialised sensors and a computer vision system, the drone can also detect people sneezing or coughing in crowds or indoor places where people congregate, like offices, airports or cruise ships.
It’s the work of a team from the University of South Australia, led by Defence Chair of Sensor Systems Professor Javaan Chahl, who have partnered with Canadian drone technology company Draganfly.

Professor Chahl said the technology was originally envisaged for war zones, natural disasters and remotely monitoring heart rates of premature babies in incubators.
“Now we see a need for its use immediately, to help save lives in the biggest health catastrophe the world has experienced in the past 100 years,” he said.
Prof Chahl previously helped develop image-processing technology to detect a human’s heart rate from drone video and more recently algorithms to interpret human actions such as sneezing and coughing.
Draganfly chief Cameron Chell said the technology would be available to government, medical and commercial customers.

- ‘Unpractical’ coronavirus rule lifted within 48 hours
“Health and respiratory monitoring will be vital not only for detection but also to understand health trends,” Chell said.
The drones can measure heart and breathing rate with high accuracy within 5-10 metres of people.
“It might not detect all cases, but it could be a reliable tool to detect the presence of the disease in a place or in a group of people,” Prof Chahl said.

Wasn't sure whether to post this here or at the 35mm page.
I've been doing a lot of research about the cinematography of Kill Bill and Death Proof, however some info has confused me.
First, I know that tarantino always shoots on film, and he likes to shoot with anamorphic lenses too I think (I think PF, IB, DU were all shot on film with anamorphic lenses, like what used to be called "Cinemascope", correct me if I'm wrong).
I've read in a number of places (including from what I think is Robert Richardson's diary) that Kill Bill was shot on super 35. This sounds right because the films don't really have that "anamorphic" look, (softer frame edges, horizontal flares and warped bokeh and other shapes). It also looks very grainy, I think that it was pushed to bring the colours and the grain out.
However, everywhere says that it was shot on 3-perf super 35. The film has an aspect ratio of 2.39:1, which I thought was obtained by shooting 2-perf super 35. I was under the impression that 3-perf super 35 would give a narrower, 1.85:1 image. I think it's the same story with Death Proof
Did they crop it, or combine 3-perf with anamorphic lenses?
Are these sources incorrect, or is some of my info incorrect? Would someone please explain, if I have something wrong please correct me I won't take offense.

[ntp:questions] Price of GPS receivers

> e.g. http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-refclk.htm#AEN4581
> The same page mentions DCF77 receivers.

They work anywhere that the signal reaches. That means Germany and
perhaps any place within 200-300 KM of the transmitter.
> Are there other types of receivers?
> These look interesting:
> In short, can I find a reference clock that costs less than 200 euros?
Unless you are very lucky, you won't get one that meets your
specifications! If you drop the requirement for a PCI card and are
willing to do a little soldering, you can have a GPS refclock for less
than $100 US! Take a look at the Garmin GPS18LVC. You have to solder
an RS-232 connector and provide 5VDC somehow but the price is right!
If you DO find a GPS on a PCI card for less than 200 Euros, please let
us know; most of us will probably want one!

The new powerups are really good, but let’s talk about the arena. For starters there are bots but when you get out by the bots they all disconnect sometimes leading you in first second or third place. But you still get a loss it should be great if you fix the loss to an easy win. The arena prizes are.
January 26, 2022
Cute animals and fun to play, great unlockables and it’s really cool that you can chat with friends. This being said, the quick race has only a few maps, the matchmaking is odd and you have too few lives in the arena. Add a few maps, maybe update Matchmaking, amazing quick little game. This game isn’t a huge.
February 7, 2022
This game is pretty fun when you are bored trying to pass time. You can also play with friends and that’s always great! 👍👍 Good Game. It is a fun little running race with items to kill your enemies and defend yourself. ^-^ Would recommend it.

Hospitals face nursing shortages as another COVID surge looms, offer significant incentives
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (CBS 58)-- As COVID cases surge, hospitals and skilled care facilities across Wisconsin are coping with nursing shortages that are impacting care.
Froedtert Hospital is offering a $6,000 sign-on bonus to experienced RNs, trying to attract critical care nurses. But in the meantime, over-worked and over-stressed nurses across the state are trying to cover the gaps.
Gina Dennik-Champion is the Executive Director of the Wisconsin Nurses Association. She says, "I think nurses are really feeling the stress. They were not anticipating another surge."
Dennik-Champion says staffs are stretched thin as hospitals are filling up and most primary care clinics are back open. Hospitals are rushing to bolster their ranks, but in the meantime it's impacting care. She says, "Nurses are getting yelled at. A lot. Which really doesn't help morale."
She says many nurses are leaving COVID units for less-stressful positions and with a third of the nursing workforce expected to retire within next ten years, many may be leaving early.
On average, the state of Wisconsin graduates 3,000 new nurses every year, and so far the forecast looks ok through 2025. Dr. Marilyn Frenn is a professor at Marquette University's College of Nursing. She says, "The people we do get are very committed. They're doing this because they want to help other people."
Dr. Frenn says application rates are high, classes are full, and the pandemic is not scaring people away. But instructors are focusing more on mental health and support."We have definitely been working on that all along, but even more now. In each of our classes, we reach out to the students to say 'how are you doing?' 'what's going on?'"
Students are still getting important clinical experience, but nurses say it doesn't quite match what's happening in the field, and that includes the stress. Dennik-Champion says, "They're tired when they get home. And as much as we push self-care, self-reflection, they just don't have the energy."
Nurses will renew their bi-annual licenses this coming January and February. The experts say that will be a good indicator of the state of the industry.

Good Morning Britain’s Dr Hilary Jones has issued a warning to anyone hoping to have a summer break away this year.
On the ITV show this morning, he was questioned about the prospect of staycations or even going abroad as people look forward to a loosening of coronavirus restrictions.
It came as Health Secretary Matt Hancock urged people to be “patient” over the prospect of getting away.
The minister said in an interview that the government is “doing everything that we possibly can to make sure that people can have a holiday this summer - but the vaccine rollout is absolutely essential to that.”
Dr Hilary told hosts Kate Garraway and Ben Shepherd that it was ‘far too early’ to even consider booking holidays abroad.
Many will be hoping that a ‘staycation’ within the UK will be more likely to go ahead as the country’s high vaccination rate slows infections.
But the GP warned people booking British breaks to ensure that their booking is transferable.
He told viewers: "Look, it is far too early to be thinking about travelling abroad internationally to the sun or the beach.

"Because we have 13,000 new Covid-19 cases," he said.
"But what about in the UK though, Dr Hilary?" asked Ben.
He then admitted: "Well, yes, it may be that by summer we are in a place where we have got the R rate down sufficiently enough to go and have a staycation somewhere lovely on a coast or in the hills or in the forests for walking holidays, for things like that.
“But I think it is good to have that hope and optimism but as long as you can book and defer if necessary.
"Because we do not know whether the Bristol variant will become more prevalent and become more transmissible and become more resistant to a vaccination.
“We do not know what the R rate is going to be doing."
Holidays are banned under the UK’s current Covid-19 lockdown, but the travel industry is desperate for rules to be relaxed in time for the vital summer season.
The government has since told reporters that it is 'too early' to speculate on how restrictions will look this summer.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “Of course we are doing everything we can to make sure people can have a holiday this summer, and we know that people are keen for certainty, but we are unfortunately not in a position to set out more detail at the moment.
“The Prime Minister said yesterday it is too early for people to be certain about what we will be able to do this summer.
Ministers are set to release a roadmap in the coming weeks that will detail how Covid restrictions are eased across England, as transmission rates fall.
The spokesman added that Boris Johnson has not yet booked a summer holiday.

Okay, guys. I was able to narrow down my favorite prints from Minted (believe me, it was super hard to commit!). I knew I wanted a gallery style wall, but this time around I wanted one that one was not uniform like the one I had done in my living room. I ended up selecting six prints at first, but after I placed all of them on the ground (to get an idea of the layout I wanted), I decided I still needed another picture to complete my look.
When I was going through all of the prints on Minted, I decided to start with a base print. I wanted this print to be the main focus and the one I would use to build the rest of my prints off of. The base print I chose was The Meadow. I loved all of the colors in this print and thought they would look great against my wall. I ordered my print in 18×24 since I wanted my base print to be the largest.
Once I had my base print, I looked for other interesting prints that would coordinate well with my main print. I ended up doing random sizes of the other prints I chose (you can see all of them below). Like I said earlier, I had no plan for the design of my gallery wall; I just wanted it to be a bit random!
1. Green Floral
2. Sky Lines
4. Stone Pile
5. The Meadow
After I ordered for my prints, I swear they arrived at my house super quick! I was so excited to see (more…)

FAO steps up aid to Sahel pastoralists
FAO is stepping up aid to herders and pastoralists in Niger and Chad amid a growing food crisis caused by last year’s poor rains that have resulted in a steep decline in agricultural production and dried out livestock pastures.
An estimated 9.8 million people are now vulnerable to severe hunger in the two countries, with thousands more under threat in the north of Burkina Faso and northeast Mali. UN and government surveys in most of the east Sahelian countries indicate a prevalence of global acute malnutrition higher than 16 percent. These rates exceed the World Health Organization (WHO) critical threshold.
In addition, food prices remain high, making it even harder for poor farmers and pastoralists to buy food.

The second day of the conference began with introductory remarks by Dr. Charles English, U.S. Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dr. English, shown shaking hands with Kennedy, began by asking how the crime of genocide could have happened again in Europe, fifty years after the Holocaust. He spoke about the need for justice and reconciliation and the importance of remembering those who lost their lives during the conflict.
Dr. Edina Becirevic, professor, analyzed transcripts from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the court in The Hague, Netherlands, operating since 1993 to prosecute perpetrators of genocide.
In my remarks, I examined the question of how people can do evil things, and I discussed the manipulation of situational factors that can influence ordinary people to engage in acts that lead to dehumanization, torture, and extermination.
The conference concluded with Hasan Nuhanovic, a Srebrenica survivor who shared his story of witness, loss, and ongoing efforts for justice from the United Nations and the government of the Netherlands; and Dr. Fikret Karcic, professor, with an analysis of Bosnia’s failure to pass a law prohibiting genocide denial.
The conference was publicized widely in all Sarajevo media; I also gave an interview for Radio Free Europe. We hope that the messages of remembrance and ‘never again’ will engage students and ordinary citizens here in Bosnia and elsewhere.

The passenger access system which allows foot passengers to board MV Loch Seaforth at Stornoway could be under repair as early as the end of this month, it’s been reported.
The bridge system linking the CalMac terminal to the passenger door of the ferry has been out of operation since December last year, with foot passengers required to embark and disembark via the car deck.
But a local source today (Monday 10 April) confirmed that the parts needed to complete the repair were being shipped this week from Italy to the manufacturers, Spanish firm Adelte.
Parts are then expected to be shipped on to Stornoway and it’s hoped that both Adelte engineers and the right parts will be on site for a repair to begin ‘within the next two weeks.’ The repair itself is expected to take up to six days.
Stornoway Port Authority, who commissioned and are responsible for the linkway, told welovestornoway.com last month that supply chain challenges had led to delays in the repair process.
They said: “The repair required was larger than initially thought and additional specialist components were not immediately available. We now anticipate that works will begin at the end of April.”
Ullapool’s passenger access system, also engineered and installed by Adelte, was out of commission for some days in March this year.
Adelte has come under fire elsewhere, with a similar passenger access system fitted at Brodick in Arran, where it has failed repeatedly after causing significant delays to the new Brodick ferry terminal opening.
In July 2017, CMAL’s head of civil engineering, Ramsay Muirhead said: “Unfortunately, Adelte has experienced unexpected delays in the delivery of our order, which will impact on the completion of the overall terminal redevelopment project.
“Clearly, we are very disappointed, particularly as all other areas of the project have remained on track with our scheduled completion dates.”
The pictures show passengers boarding MV Loch Seaforth via the car deck earlier this year (Fred Silver), the Stornoway passenger access system during installation (Adelte) and Brodick ferry terminal with the system in operation (CMAL).

APPLE VALLEY — Authorities said a 27-year-old man remains in critical condition after he was struck by a vehicle on Highway 18 Tuesday, the second such crash to occur here this week.
San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department officials said they found the man, who remains unidentified, laying in the roadway in an area near Highway 18 and Pawnee Road just before 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Deputies were responding a report of a fight in the area, in which the man was reportedly involved in, officials said in a statement.
“It was determined that following the reported fight, one of the involved parties was in the roadway and a vehicle struck him,” officials said.
The man was airlifted to Antelope Valley Hospital and is listed as being in “critical condition,” officials said. A second involved party, 18-year-old Daniel Zuniga, was subsequently arrested for being drunk in public.
The incident occurred less than 24 hours after a man was reportedly struck by a vehicle on Highway 18, near Mondamon Road, Monday night.
Details on how that crash occurred are still unknown, but Apple Valley Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Larry Soper said the man, believed to be in his late 30s, was struck by “multiple vehicles” and was also listed as being in critical condition.
Both crashes remain under investigation.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Deputy Gina Kuhn or Sergeant Jim Evans of the Apple Valley Sheriff’s station at 760-240-7400. Persons wishing to remain anonymous can contact the We-Tip Hotline at 1-800-782-7463 or online at www.wetip.com.

The project revolves around three distinct labyrinths: "Play," a fun labyrinth for easy navigation; "Calm," a mandala labyrinth promoting a sense of serenity; and "Stuck," a challenging labyrinth with limited exit options.
I designed a series of three posters centered on the labyrinth concept for an architecture event. Each poster features custom typography, aligning with the chosen labyrinth theme. The challenge involved selecting materials pertinent to the labyrinth concept and developing a visual system through custom type.


The US President said he would like to strike a deal now but that China was not ready.
He said: “I think that we will make a great deal with China and it has to be great, because they've drained our country.”
Washington is reported to be preparing to announce tariffs on all remaining Chinese imports by early December if talks next month between Mr Trump and his counterpart Xi Jinping fail to ease the trade war.
The US has already imposed tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods, and China has responded with retaliatory duties on $110 billion worth of goods going the other way.
It has to be great, because they've drained our country
And Mr Trump said: “I have $267 billion waiting to go if we can't make a deal.”
He has long threatened to impose tariffs on all remaining Chinese imports into the US if Beijing fails to meet his demands for sweeping changes to trade, technology transfer and industrial subsidy policies.
Mr Trump and Mr Xi could meet if, as expected, they both attend next month's G20 summit in Buenos Aires.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said China and the US have all along been in communication about exchanges at all levels, including a possible Xi-Trump meeting in Argentina.
Donald Trump has issued a new tariffs warning to China
Mr Lu said if the US was not willing to promote win-win cooperation then China is fully confident in being able to continue with its reforms and develop itself.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders declined to elaborate on further tariffs and only said that she hoped the meeting between Trump and Xi goes well.
The final list of goods would largely hit consumer products and capital goods, which the Trump administration has so far spared, and likely would push up prices for many US businesses and consumers.
Economists and US companies have warned that the increased costs from the tariffs could hurt the American economy.
China saw its currency reach its lowest point in a decade on Tuesday while the threat of new tariffs remains.
The Yuan’s value remains a major concern as there are worries that it will lead to slow growth in China with the potential for it to fall even further in the coming months.
On Tuesday, the currency’s midpoint was set at 6.9574 per dollar.
This was weaker than the previous 6.9377 per dollar in May 2008.

7-year-old Guatemalan girl died in US Customs and Border Protection custody
A 7-year-old Guatemalan girl has died in US Customs and Border Protection custody, a source with the agency told CNN late Thursday.
The source referred questions about all other details on the matter to local authorities.
The Washington Post first reported Thursday that the girl died of dehydration and septic shock last week in El Paso, Texas after she was taken into custody by Border Patrol after crossing illegally with her father into the United States.
“Our sincerest condolences go out to the family of the child,” CBP spokesman Andrew Meehan said in a statement to the Post.
“Border Patrol agents took every possible step to save the child’s life under the most trying of circumstances. As fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, we empathize with the loss of any child.”
The girl and her father were part of a large group of migrants who approached Border Patrol agents in a remote area of the New Mexico desert last Thursday, the newspaper reported, citing CBP records.
After the child began having seizures hours after she was taken into custody, she was airlifted to the Providence Children’s Hospital in El Paso, where she died less than 24 hours later, CBP told the Post.
“Due to patient confidentiality, the hospital is unable to provide any patient information and is referring any inquiries regarding this patient to CBP,” said Monique Poessiger, a hospital spokeswoman.
CNN has reached out to local CBP authorities.
Congressman Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, said late Thursday in a statement he was “devastated by reports that a seven-year-old girl who was taken into Customs and Border Patrol custody died of dehydration and exhaustion. I’ll be asking for a full investigation by the Inspector General and Congress into the conditions and circumstances that led to her death.”
“We can do better as a nation,” said Castro, a member of the House Foreign Affairs and House Intelligence Committees.
“This is a humanitarian crisis and we have a moral obligation to ensure these vulnerable families can safely seek asylum, which is legal under immigration and international law at our borders,” Castro’s statement said.
Cynthia Pompa, advocacy manager for the ACLU Border Rights Center, in a statement called for “a rigorous investigation into how this tragedy happened and serious reforms to prevent future deaths.”
“This tragedy represents the worst possible outcome when people, including children, are held in inhumane conditions,” the statement said. “Lack of accountability, and a culture of cruelty within CBP have exacerbated policies that lead to migrant deaths. In 2017, migrant deaths increased even as the number of border crossings dramatically decreased.”
Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas on Thursday called for transparency in the investigation of the child’s death.
“I am deeply saddened by this girl’s death. There must be a complete investigation and the results shared with Congress and the public,” he tweeted.

As if this weekend's unusual — exceedingly, hellaciously — hot summer temperatures weren’t enough, Bay Area locals were treated to a rare lightning show last night and early this morning as wild thunderstorms roared through much of the region.
Suffice to say it's been a weekend filled with atmospheric anomalies. We've seen record-high temperatures (that spurred rolling blackouts); strong gusts of wind swept through various parts of the East Bay; a literal fire tornado, birthed by the Loyalton Fire, was recorded in Lassen County and made media headlines across the country. And now we can add severe thunderstorms to that previous list of descriptors.
Wondering where this moisture is coming from bringing us these thunderstorms? Check out this GOES-17 infrared imagery and follow the moisture back to Tropical Storm Fausto#CAwx pic.twitter.com/cOWq5pABcs— NWS Bay Area (@NWSBayArea) August 16, 2020
As reported by the Chronicle, this round of hot weather triggered an unusual series of summer thunderstorms Sunday evening that created wind gusts of 75 mph and sparked a few small brush fires. Though those blazes were mostly subjected to areas north, south, and east of San Francisco — some grasslands along Point Reyes caught flame; the East Bay saw a handful of brush fires (including a 50-plus acre inferno in Livermore), as did parts of the Santa Cruz Mountain range — lightning lit up skies across our slice of Northern California.
And with warm, sweltering temperatures expected well into next week, there's a chance another round of thunderstorms might be on the horizon.
Pontifications aside, scroll through some of our favorites snaps (and a few videos) of last night's local lighting shows.

The world is more technologically driven and interconnected than it has ever been before, and this also means that the demand for essential resources is higher than it has previously been. As a result, a number of shortages are likely to take place, and lithium is likely to be affected. This is especially true when considering the world is working towards sustainable energy solutions, and lithium has become a real cornerstone of this. For instance, lithium batteries play a huge role in renewable energy storage and the electric vehicle revolution. To that end, the global resource shortage is explored in further detail below, paying close attention to the exciting developments in the lithium industry, which is commonly referred to as the “Lithium Revolution.”
The Role of Lithium-Ion Batteries in the 21st Century
When it comes to transitioning to a sustainable energy future, lithium plays a significant role. It’s primarily used in lithium-ion batteries, and these power the likes of electric vehicles, laptops, smartphones and more. Since the world is getting further and further away from fossil fuels, the demand for lithium is skyrocketing, which is raising concerns about a potential resource shortage in the future.
Lithium-Polymer Batteries in the Surging EV Market
The electric vehicle market is rapidly expanding, and this is the primary driver behind the surge in lithium demand. Stringent emissions regulations are being implemented by governments globally, which is why automakers are pushing to produce hybrid and electric vehicles. Naturally, as EV production grows, so does the lithium battery demand.
The Renewable Energy Storage of a Lithium-Ion Battery
As well as electric vehicles, solar and wind power sources are driving the demand for lithium-ion batteries. This is because these power sources are intermittent, meaning battery storage is essential for them to be a viable option. Since lithium batteries provide this power, they’re an asset to the renewable energy sector.
The Geopolitical Challenges of a Li-Po Battery
Lithium reserves can’t be found in the same volumes on a global scale; instead, lithium is predominantly found in Argentina, China, Chile, and Australia. Naturally, this means that some countries will struggle to get their hands on the critical resource.
The Lithium-Polymer Revolution
The rapid advancements in lithium-related industries and technologies are otherwise defined as the Lithium Revolution. There are multiple key developments that are inspiring the revolution, which are explored in further detail below.
Lithium-Ion Battery Innovations
There is constant research being carried out to improve the sustainability and performance of lithium-ion batteries. Battery lifespans are being extended, charging times are being reduced, and energy density is being enhanced, which are all crucial developments in the field.
Recycling and Circular Economy
The disposal practices of lithium-ion batteries have raised concerns in recent years as they’re not thought to be very environmentally friendly. In response to this, steps are being taken to recycle lithium-ion batteries. From this, the demand for new lithium resources is being reduced, and so is their environmental impact. During the recycling process, valuable materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel can be recovered., which reduces the need for new mining operations.
Lithium mining, processing, and battery manufacturing have been significantly in, which is also a notable feature of the Lithium Revolution. Research institutions, governments, and private companies alike are all pouring resources into the lithium supply chain so that the growing demand is met.
Expansion of Lithium Production
As a result of this growing demand, mining companies are expanding their operations. This means that more lithium is being extracted from existing deposits, and new sources of lithium, such as unconventional reserves and deep-sea mining, are being explored.
Gigafactories and Electric Vehicle Production
Gigafactories are being built by large-scale automakers, which are massive battery production facilities. These are designed to scale up battery production to meet the rising demand for electric vehicles.
Policy and Regulation
The Lithium Revolution is being supported by governments globally, as regulations, mandates, and incentives are being put in place to encourage the adoption of renewable energy and electric vehicles. From this, a more predictable and stable market is being created for lithium-related industries.
Step into the Lithium Revolution with YOK Energy
Here at YOK Energy, we manufacture and supply lithium batteries of all kinds in order to make the leap into the Lithium Revolution. If you’re unsure about which type of battery would be best suited to your company’s needs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. If we’re unable to find a standard battery that suits your requirements, we’re able to craft a bespoke solution so that you’re not forced to compromise.
We’re constantly looking for ways to combat the potential resource shortage so that we’ll be able to provide you with solutions for years to come.
We look forward to hearing from you and helping you reap the benefits of the Lithium Revolution!

Rabat – Imagine smiling after a slap in the face; then think of doing it all your life. This is the way women live in Moroccan society. Women’s lives are shaped by deadlines; that is, we are taught to believe blindly that as women we have a very short period to live, marry and have children, or else we will fall into the dungeon of spinsterhood or simply become scrap. Raised to take on responsibilities at an early age and to stop thinking about their own dreams, young girls often end up as unfulfilled and miserable women.
Moroccan women are expected to meet society’s standards. Based on a long list of do’s and don’ts, these standards are not created in a vacuum but are an accumulation of the way society educates women and the way women accept their roles. I am by no means blaming men; rather, it is the whole society – institutions, men and unfortunately women themselves – that creates and maintains these standards. What exactly is the role of society in educating women? How and why do women accept the way society raises them? And, most importantly, is there any voice raised against the social disapproval which limits the life of women?
Clearly, the education and treatment of women is at the root of masculine domination and women’s dependence. As women are guided into their role — one that is chosen by society and transmitted from generation to generation — the various do’s and don’ts become embedded conventions and beliefs. At the top of the list is marriage. Marriage, along with many other conventions, limits women’s lives, enclosing them in a circle of house cleaning and child rearing. Maddeningly, these conventions both suffocate women and make them believe blindly in their role. If a woman deviates from her role and loses the financial support of her husband, there may be dire consequences such as divorce, poverty, and homelessness for both the woman and her children. Sadly, there is little difference between past and present social conventions.
The problem is not that women get married and have children; rather, my irritation arises from the way women and society emphasize marriage over the importance of a woman’s continuing her studies and realizing her life purpose. The role of the housewife is a sacred and a difficult one, but it should not be a woman’s only goal. Marriage should be a relationship between a man and a woman after they both have the opportunity to succeed in their careers.
When a woman’s entire life revolves around her marriage, it can sometimes lead to terrible consequences. Domestic violence is a frequent lament, with the marriage resembling a dead end street. Maltreatment and violence often result in divorce, and the woman and her children find themselves wandering the streets. Women in difficult marital situations then are faced with the choice of either accepting domestic violence and living as doormats or begging and scavenging from place to place.
When a woman’s life falls apart and she finds herself alone in a harsh society without any financial support or any kind of help, she is vulnerable to further victimization which can lead to drugs and prostitution. The accumulated injustices and grievances may cause her to feel angry all the time and sometimes behave aggressively, mainly with her children. Victimization leads women to an abyss of despair, and instead of fighting courageously to change their bad conditions many of them just crumble and accept the social stigma bitterly. Yet women — divorced, raped or faced with violence – desperately need second chances. They are the backbone of our society, yet they are the victims of the way society has limited their lives. They deserve a second chance to live equally and happily in our society simply because they are human beings.
Associations that help women are leading the fight against maltreatment and injustice and are taking a real step forward to change negative social attitudes towards women. One such association, Ain Ghazal, is situated in Oujda and is doing great work with women in the eastern region of Morocco. The association accepts women in difficult situations for a period of one year to work through a three-step process: 1) identify and accept their problems, 2) recover psychologically and physically, and 3) integrate into society. One remarkable feature of the program is that women live together, help each other, and share their stories of suffering and sorrow. The women are kind to each other and help each other by working through their difficulties together.
At the beginning, women often find it hard to open up to the association, but when they get to know the place, they begin to talk about their misery and to accept their situation. Some women are so desperate that they may think of suicide, wishing that the earth would open up to swallow them. However, when other women take their hands and let them know that they are not alone, it helps them. Most of the women say that they wish to turn back time a little, to become children again, but what they do not acknowledge is that they are still kids raising kids. In the first step of Ain Ghazal’s process, women begin to feel secure and not alone and, most important, to meet other women with the same struggles.
The second step involves treatment for the women’s psychological and physical problems. Women who come to this association are frustrated, broken, and weak. They were victims of torture, rape, or violence. They were forced to have sex, often in brutal ways. They are in very bad shape, both psychologically and physically, and they need immediate treatment. Every week, volunteer doctors come to the association to treat and to talk with the women. It is often not easy for them to accept treatment, but once they feel secure they start to believe in the possibility of hope and change.
Last but not least, the third step is integration in society. This step helps women to face society once again, but only after they break down the social conventions that have surrounded them. These women have left home and are now meeting new people; it may be their first experience of living with strangers. This process changes their perspective on the way society educated them and helps them recover from the accumulation of old conventions so that they can now face society with courage and strength. After leaving the association, women may return to their families, decide to work, or finish their studies. If they return to their families or adopted families, the association will check on the women frequently to see if they are being treated well or not.
Ain Ghazal and other association are thus taking the first steps toward helping women and challenging the way that we, as a society, look at women. The real change, however, starts when the whole society changes the way it educates women. The whole sorry existence of women must be transformed into a new spring, when a woman is as free as a butterfly to realize her dreams of living a fruitful life instead of being the doormat of society.

Looking at the recent example of Egypt, I'm arguing against naive ideas of technological liberation: that the internet will 'democratise', for example.
I'm also highlighting its power to waylay passion; to dissipate it, instead of building on it. A sample:
the internet is no magic pill for democracy. When the internet first arrived, some theorists and commentators were quick to laud its liberating power. It was decentralized, fluid, diverse. The technology would encourage a removal of power from a few hands, and place it into the palms of many.
But this hasn’t happened. As demonstrated by the Murabak government’s shutdown, and Barack Obama’s planned ‘kill switch’ legislation for ‘cyber-emergencies’, the internet is not free from interference. China’s censorship makes the same point. It can be easily disconnected and filtered by governments.(Photo: Village Voice)
The internet also has a worrying relationship between secrecy and invasion of privacy: the former for businesses, the latter for individuals. As Facebook and Google suggest, control over information is neither transparent nor equally distributed. Meanwhile, big players like Apple and Microsoft often use proprietary technology and laws to control how and when their products are used.
Access to training and technology is also unequal – not everyone has a computer, let alone internet access, or the know-how to use them.
The point isn’t that the internet is a simple tool of tyranny or inequality. Instead, it’s a simple tool, and no more. The internet is tied to specific individuals and societies. It influences both, and is influenced in turn. It’s complicated, but this is how technology works.

Regina Chamber Commerce CEO passes away
The Regina and District Chamber of Commerce announced on Feb. 2, 2022 that longtime CEO John Hopkins passed away after a battle with prostate cancer.
A dynamic and inspiring leader, Hopkins held the role for more than 20 years and was a passionate advocate for Regina, its businesses and the community as a whole. He volunteered on many local boards and committees, and named CTV Regina Citizen of the Year and Red Cross Humanitarian of the Year in 2019.
After his cancer diagnosis, he turned his passion for music into a fundraising effort for the Allan Blair Cancer Centre and cancer research. His Garage Band – with bandmates David Malloy, the University of Regina’s vice-president of research, former Regina mayor Michael Fougere, Economic Development Regina board chair Frank Hart, AGT Food and Ingredients CEO Murad Al-Katib and Steve Compton, executive director of the YMCA – raised $1.4 million for the cause.
Rest easy, John. You will be missed.
ROK Resources Inc. acquires assets from Federated Co-operatives Limited
The announcement on Feb.3, 2022 included “low-decline, oil-weighted production in southern Saskatchewan and Alberta” and a working interest in the Weyburn-Midale Enhanced Oil Recovery Project. The Weyburn-Midale project is one of the world’s largest carbon capture, utlization and storage projects, sequestering nearly two million tonnes of CO2 per year. According to ROK, the project has sequestered a total of 36 million tonnes of CO2 since inception.
“The Acquisition materially transforms ROK’s financial and operational strength through the addition of a high-quality, low decline, environmentally sustainable, oil-weighted asset base that is expected to generate substantial free funds flow at current commodity prices. Weyburn is a world-class asset capable to organically fund what we have identified as a deep inventory of drilling opportunities at Southeast Saskatchewan and Kaybob, and we expect it will uniquely position ROK to be a net-negative CO2 emitter by 2023,” said Cameron Taylor, ROK’s chairman and CEO.
FlexNetworks grows in Saskatchewan
FlexNetworks has acquired Saskatchewan’s Redbird Communications Inc., a company providing fibre to the province’s rural communities since 2008.
“We chose to combine with FlexNetworks because I believe their management team has the knowledge and expertise, as well as the foresight to deliver a scalable long-term solution for the Internet services that the residents of Saskatchewan deserve,” said Robin Seaborn, one of Redbird’s original founders. “I have been working for almost two decades on getting services equivalent to what is available in Saskatoon to rural areas, and I am excited to have found a partner who shares that vision.”
BHP Telecom, doing business as FlexNetworks, owns and operates an extensive fibre-optic infrastructure network in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. According to FlexNetworks, the company will have invested over $100 million and built more than 1,500 km of fibre-optic cable to connect 106 underserved communities across Saskatchewan by the end of 2022.
“There’s exponential growth potential in Saskatchewan,” said Jacques Taillefer, executive vice president at FlexNetworks.
Bison return to The Key First Nation
On Feb. 1, 2022 the Government of Canada and the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) announced that 40 plains bison were successfully moved to The Key First Nation in Treaty 4 territory, to establish a new herd.
Twenty plains bison from Grasslands National Park and 20 bison from Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area (OMB) were moved to the First Nation.
“Repatriation of bison is the true cultural revitalization piece for our Anishinaabe people immediately creating unity and togetherness within the community chi-miigwech,” said Christopher Gareau, councillor for The Key First Nation.
“Indigenous peoples of North America lived alongside bison for thousands of years, and in many Indigenous cultures, bison and humans are inextricably linked. The grazing patterns of bison also help shape the vegetation composition, ecosystem function and structure of the Prairies. Partnerships with Indigenous communities are a vital part of NCC’s work as a land conservation organization. We strive to ensure that collaborating with Indigenous peoples becomes a routine part of our conservation work. We are honoured to help establish a plains bison herd for The Key First Nation,” said Jennifer McKillop, Saskatchewan regional vice-president for Nature Conservancy of Canada.
The Key First Nation is located near Norquay, Sask.

Frankfurt is a large city in central Germany, the fifth largest of the country, and is located on the banks of the River Main. It is a large metropolis that has several firsts such as the headquarters of the European Central Bank, Germany's financial center, leadership of the chemical industry, has an important car show and is the third European airport. It is a human-sized city, very easy to visit on foot or by public transport.
There are so many things to do and see and, in order not to ruin your trip due to bad weather conditions, it is really important to identify the best time to visit the city.
So here is some information on when to go to Frankfurt, climate, best time and tips month by month.
- Climate, Average Temperatures and Precipitation
- When to go to Frankfurt: the cheapest period
- Frankfurt in Spring
- Frankfurt in the Summer
- Frankfurt in Autumn
- Frankfurt in Winter
- User questions and comments
Climate, Average Temperatures and Precipitation
- Best time: from April to September, due to the mild temperatures
- Period to avoid: from a climatic point of view, the worst period is from December to February, but in reality the city is beautiful even in winter, especially during the Christmas holidays
The climate is continental type, with cold winters and hot summers. In the summer months, it is the hottest city in Germany. Precipitation is distributed throughout the year, with a maximum peak in December, when an average of 18 days of rain and 111 mm of rain fall are recorded.
March and November are two months of transition, where temperatures are low but not like the winter months and the rains are still a bit contained.
When to go to Frankfurt: the cheapest period
The best months, both for the climate and economically, are April and September: the tourist turnout is not as high as in the months of June, July and August, and you can visit the city more easily. In addition to finding lower prices that are unaffected by tourism, it is also the two months that average less rainfall throughout the year and temperatures are pleasant.
If you don't fear the cold and want to save even more, February and March can also be two months to consider.
Frankfurt in Spring
It is a good time to visit the city. Initially cold in March, where some small snowfalls are still possible, the city slowly awakens the climate becomes mild in April, one of the best months to visit the city. The temperatures, in fact, range from a minimum of 8 ° to a maximum of 18 ° and there are only 8 days of rain, making April the month with the least rainfall together with September. From May the temperatures rise again, reaching 20 °.
It's a season full of events, starting with Frankfurter Frühlings Dippemesse, the great fair to celebrate spring. Here you will find stalls with handicrafts, drinks and typical food, as well as numerous workshops and activities for children. There is no shortage of rides, including a large Ferris wheel. It is held in the second half of April at Festplatz on Ratsweg.
Frankfurt in the Summer
It is a good season to visit the city! Temperatures rise and reach 27 ° in July, the hottest month together with August. Rain, unfortunately, will not leave you in peace even at this time of year, so arm yourself with patience and, above all, an umbrella to always carry with you. The situation improves in the month of September, one of the best times to get around the city, when on average only 8 days of rain are expected.
In this period there are a large number of events organized! Starting in June with the World Club Dome, one of the largest electronic and EDM music festivals all over Europe, when the Commerzbank Arena is transformed into the largest nightclub in the world. Between the end of July and the beginning of August another event very much felt by the city takes place, the Mainfest, the festival on the Main. Between rides, flea markets, live music and fireworks, this festival is perfect for kids and all of Frankfurt gets into the party spirit. At the end of August the Museumsuferfest, the cultural festival. Three days of culture, including exhibitions, events and themed conferences.
Frankfurt in Autumn
With autumn, temperatures drop again and the city begins to take on colors such as yellow and red. If you are here in this period you must definitely visit the Holzhausen park, its colors will enchant you. October is still a good month, with temperatures ranging from 8 ° to 16 ° and an average of 11 days of rain. November, on the other hand, is a month of transit where the temperatures drop considerably to then get to the cold of December.
In the autumn the city is full of events! Starting with the very famous and very important Buchmesse, the largest fair in the world of books, literature and printed news. It ranges from every genre: from comics to poetry, from detective stories to romance novels, you will find every literary genre here. It is held in mid-October, from Wednesday to Sunday, and the first edition dates back to 1949. The first three days are generally dedicated to publishers, authors, agents and distributors, while the last two are open to the public, who can participate in events, presentations and workshops. For sports lovers, the Euro Maraton and for music lovers the Jazz festival.
Frankfurt in Winter
From a climatic point of view, winter is the worst time. In December, temperatures are really low, between 2 ° and 5 °, and it is the wettest month of the year, with an average of 18 rainy days. January and February are very cold, with temperatures ranging between 1 ° and 5 ° and on average 3 days of rain. If this is the only time you can visit the city, pack warm clothes and don't forget an umbrella!
If the cold and rain don't scare you, the city has a lot to offer even in these months. Starting with the most beautiful time of the year, Christmas. In December, the city is transformed and the traditional Christmas market, one of the largest in all of Germany! And here they certainly do not spare: among more than 200 stalls, a 30 meter high Christmas tree and decorations everywhere, for a moment you will forget about the cold. Obviously there is no lack of many themed events and events organized this month.
How to dress: what to pack
- In winter: warm clothes, such as sweaters, scarves and gloves, heavy jacket, umbrella
- In summer: light summer clothes, such as short-sleeved T-shirts and shorts, a sweatshirt for rainy days when temperatures can drop, umbrella
- In autumn and spring: spring / autumn clothes, such as long pants, light sweaters, a sweatshirt for days when the temperatures are still low and an umbrella

Suhakam (Human Rights Commission of Malaysia) kicked-off its National Inquiry on the rights of indigenous people in Tenang, Segamat recently. The event was attended by some one hundred and fifty participants comprising mainly of the indigenous people within the district and as far as, Jerantut, Pahang.
Also present were representatives from non-governmental organisations and relevant government agencies like the Johor state land and mining department and the Indigenous People Affairs department.
The Suhakam organised National Inquiry was chaired by chairman, Hasmy Agam and assisted by commissioner Muhammad Sha’ani Abdullah.
During the opening speech, Hasmy Agam briefed the participants on the objectives of the National Inquiry and what Suhakam hoped to achieve after the nationwide tour.
Komunitikini conducted an exclusive interview with Hasmy where he explained at length the roles, objectives and challenges of Suhakam.
The question and answer session started immediately after the opening speech. Several indigenous people representatives vocalised their long standing plights, hardships and unfair treatment from both the federal and state government.
They strongly urged Suhakam to make paramount efforts in assisting them to resolve their community problems especially matters pertaining the customary land rights issues.
Six complaint desks were set up to attend to and record complaints and grievances from the indigenous people.
Suhakam will be conducting another inquiry session in Parit Raja, Batu Pahat soon.
For more information, the public can log on to Suhakam’s official website at www.suhakam.org.my or email : [email protected]

Casinos, betting shops and other forms of gambling can be advertised on TV under proposed new rules published today.
The guidelines set out content restrictions for gambling adverts in both the broadcast and print media.
They follow the Gambling Act 2005 which gives gambling operators greater scope to publicise their services. A public consultation on new rules to ensure gambling adverts are "socially responsible" was launched today.
The rules will take effect from September 2007 when the Gambling Act comes fully into force. TV adverts for betting, gaming and lotteries are currently banned except the National Lottery and some other exceptions.
