POINT TO PONDER
“All that a person achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his/her own thoughts.”
STORY LINE from “The Psychology of Winning” by Denis Waitley*.
It's the World Series. The New York Yankees vs Milwaukee Braves are in the ninth inning. The score is tied. Two men on with two out. The pitch count is three balls and two strikes.
On the mound is one of the greatest left handed pitchers of all time, Warren Spahn. At bat is the Yankee great, catcher Elston Howard.
The Milwaukee manager comes out of the dugout to go over the situation and give some encouraging, motivational advice to Warren Span. His idea of motivation went like this:
“Don’t give him a high, outside pitch,” said the manager and walked back to the dugout.
Warren wondered “Why did he have to tell me in that way?” “Don’t give him high fast ball, the reverse of what needs to be done.”
Too late! Like a neon sign, it bugs Span. But he throws his pitch and it goes... High and outside. Then the CRACK of the bat...
And out of the park goes the ball.
Yankees win and Braves lose...
Warren wondered for the rest of his life “Why would any one motivate any one else or themselves with the reverse of an idea?”
Good Managers know that the players and team actions will be controlled by the currently dominant thoughts. Winning coaches focus on positive reinforcement to bring up individual and team performance. They focus on rewards of success vs penalty of failures and what needs to be done rather than what needs to be avoided.

Venture Capital: EDAC Labs Raises $3M Seed For Direct Air Capture Of CO2
EDAC’s process captures carbon dioxide directly from the air for utilization and sequestration, enabling businesses to reduce energy consumption and the cost of carbon capture.
EDAC Labs, an innovator in electrochemistry, has secured $3 million in seed funding to expand its distinctive carbon removal technology. The funding round was spearheaded by the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, renowned for investing in early-stage climate-related innovations, and supported by notable angel investors.
EDAC Labs’ pioneering electro-synthesizer device generates acid and base with half the energy consumption of traditional methods. Their technology offers cost-effective solutions for direct air capture, operating at ambient temperature and pressure.
Additionally, it facilitates carbon-negative mining by extracting valuable metals while sequestering carbon, and aids developers in ocean alkalinity enhancement, direct ocean capture, and enhanced weathering by providing efficient electrochemistry solutions that reduce project expenses.
With the newly acquired funding, EDAC Labs plans to scale up its technology and demonstrate its capability to capture one ton of carbon dioxide daily by the close of 2024. Cyril Yee, Director of Investments at the Grantham Foundation, has joined EDAC Labs’ board of directors alongside its founders: James Lavin (CEO), Brian Toll (COO), and Chao Wang (CTO), who is an Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins University.
According to Cyril Yee EDAC Labs’ technology significantly lowers the energy demand and costs associated with various carbon removal methods, positioning it as a foundational technology for global decarbonization efforts.

nForce 4 SLI Motherboard Round-Up
DFI LANParty NF4 SLI-DR: The Board & Layout
DFI's LANParty NF4 SLI-DR looks somewhat different than the other two motherboards in this round-up, not only because of DFI's choice of colors, but because the LANParty NF4 SLI-DR doesn't take many queues from NVIDIA's nForce 4 SLi reference design. This board is unique in a couple of different ways, especially in the way the PCI Express lanes get configured for SLI operation.
The LANParty NF4 SLI-DR continues the tradition that started with DFI's initial LANParty offerings, in that its based on a dark colored PCB that's adorned with UV reactive, brightly colored, slots and headers. Under Ultra-Violet light, the slots fluoresce and appear to glow, which should appeal to the case modders out there. The NF4 SLI-DR is equipped with a single x4 PCI Express slot, a pair of x16 (mechanical) PEG slots, a single x1 slot and a pair of standard PCI slots. Note that if the x4 slot is used in conjunction with an x4 expansion card, the x1 slot that's located in between the PEG slots cannot be used. If, however, the x4 slot is populated with an x1 expansion card, the other x1 slots will still function. Taking a look at the rest of board reveals some other interesting features. The most notably the large jumper blocks used to not only configure the PEG slots for SLI operation, but to tweak the peak memory voltage available. At the upper corner of the board, there is a single jumper block, that when moved out of its default position, unlocks memory voltages up to 4v. The six remaining jumper blocks located between the PEG slots configure them in either an x16 / x2 configuration, or an x8 / x8 configuration.
DFI uses Realtek's ALC850 codec for audio, which supports eight output channels on the LANParty NF4 SLI-DR, but DFI implemented the audio solution in a rather unique way. The ALC850 and the external inputs and outputs are incorporated onto a separate module, dubbed the Karajan audio module that plugs into a header on the motherboard. According to DFI, isolating the audio circuitry onto a separate module helps improve audio quality by reducing electrical noise. Other controllers on the board include a Silicon Image 3114 PCI SATA I RAID controller, coupled to four of the board's SATA ports (the other four are powered by the NF4 chipset and support RAID and SATA II speeds), and a Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit PCI LAN controller. The other Gigabit LAN solution comes by way of a Vitesse VSC8201 Gigabit Phy. And because of the inherent capabilities of the nForce 4 SLI chipset, the DFI LANParty NF4 SLI-DR fully supports nVRAID and NVIDIA's ActiveArmor firewall technology.
The board's cooling duties are handled by a mixture of active and passive coolers located in various positions around the board. The NF4 chipset is cooled by an active, oval shaped, aluminum heatsinks and fan combo, that sits just behind the PEG slots. We should note that with longer graphics cards installed, there is minimal clearance between this cooler and the underside of the video cards. In the VRM and on the memory voltage regulator, there are relatively large aluminum heatsinks installed, that pull heat away from these hot running components.
The LANParty NF4 SLI-DR's overall layout is quite good with no major issues to speak of. The power connectors, drive connectors, and various headers are located along the front and bottom edge of the board. There are even a pair of power and reset switches incorporated onto the LANParty NF4 SLI-DR that make it easy to test without having to wire up any case switches or LEDs. While we're talking about LEDs, we should also mention that there are 4 diagnostic LEDs on the board that will light in a certain combination should there be a problem. These LEDs also interface with the FrontX ports, so you can see the diagnostic information without having to open up the case. The I/O backplane (pictured here without the audio module installed) is home to six USB 2.0 ports, a pair of PS/2 ports, a Firewire port, two audio connectors, and two RJ45 jacks.

According a poll, Barack Obama’s new position on gay marriage is having a positive influence with African-American voters in key states.
As reported by Public Policy Polling, black voters in the mid-western US state Missouri are becoming more accepting of marriage equality.
‘African-American voters lead the spike in support for gay marriage after a complete turnaround from just four months ago,’ Public Policy reports. Fifty percent of Missouri African Americans think gay marriage should be legal, twice their level of support in January. Eighty-one of Missouri African Americans believe gay couples should either be allowed to marry or form civil unions, a 31-point upswing from the previous survey.’
This upswing replicates numbers in another 2012 election battleground state. At the end of last month, Public Policy found 39 percent of people living in the north-eastern state of Pennsylvania were pro-marriage equality; 48 percent against. However, last fall the numbers were more stark. ‘Only 36 percent of all Pennsylvanians thought gay marriage should be legal and 52 percent illegal.’
The turnaround was due to the seismic shift in black opinion. In the fall, blacks were heavily against it, 52 percent opposed compared to 34 for. Now, the numbers are virtually down the middle in support, 42 to 41.
‘We’ve now found in both North Carolina and Pennsylvania that black voters have moved more toward support of gay marriage in the wake of Barack Obama’s announcement,’ said Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling. ‘The media’s been asking the wrong question- the big issue isn’t how Obama’s stance will affect his reelection hopes. It’s how Obama’s stance will move public opinion on gay marriage.’

The way a neighborhood looks and feels when you walk or drive around it, from
its setting, its buildings, and its flavor, can make all the difference. This
neighborhood has some really cool things about the way it looks and feels as
revealed by NeighborhoodScout's exclusive research. This might include anything
from the housing stock to the types of households living here to how people
Notable & Unique: People
The W 24th St / N Lamar Blvd neighborhood stands out for having an
average per capita income lower than 99.9% of the neighborhoods
in the United States.
In addition, neighborhoodScout's analysis shows that the W 24th St / N Lamar Blvd
neighborhood has a greater concentration of residents currently enrolled
in college than 99.7% of the neighborhoods in the U.S. With
85.5% of the population here attending college, this is very
much a college-focused neighborhood.
Also, one of the really interesting characteristics about the
W 24th St / N Lamar Blvd neighborhood is that, according to NeighborhoodScout's
exclusive research, it is an excellent choice in which to reside for
college students. Due to its popularity among college students who
already choose to live here, its walkability, and its above average
safety from crime, the neighborhood is ideal for prospective or
already-enrolled college students. Between semesters and during
school breaks, you'll notice that the excitement here fluctuates with
the college seasons. Despite the excitement however, parents of college-age
children can rest easy knowing that this
neighborhood has an above average safety rating. For each of these
reasons, the neighborhood is rated among the
top 1.9% of college-friendly places to live in
the state of Texas.
Notable & Unique: Migration / Stability
The freedom of moving to new places versus the comfort of home. How much
and how often people move not only can create diverse and worldly neighborhoods,
but simultaneously it can produce a loss of intimacy with one's surroundings
and a lack of connectedness to one's neighbors. NeighborhoodScout's exclusive
research has identified this neighborhood as unique with regard to the
transience of its populace.
In the W 24th St / N Lamar Blvd neighborhood, a greater proportion of
the residents living here today did not live here five years ago than is
found in 99.7% of U.S. Neighborhoods. This neighborhood,
more than almost any other in America, has new residents from other areas.
Notable & Unique: Modes of Transportation
More people in W 24th St / N Lamar Blvd choose to walk to work each day
(24.7%) than almost any neighborhood in America. If you are
attracted to the idea of being able to walk to work, this neighborhood
could be a good choice.
Also, if your dream is to be able to ride your bike to work each day, look no
further than this unique neighborhood. With 4.1% of residents in
the W 24th St / N Lamar Blvd neighborhood commuting on a bicycle to and
from work daily, this neighborhood has more bicycle commuters than
96.4% of all neighborhoods in the U.S., according to
NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis.
Notable & Unique: Diversity
Did you know that the W 24th St / N Lamar Blvd neighborhood has more
Brazilian and Asian ancestry people living in it than nearly
any neighborhood in America? It's true! In fact, 0.8% of
this neighborhood's residents have Brazilian ancestry and 20.1% have Asian ancestry.
W 24th St / N Lamar Blvd is also pretty special linguistically. Significantly, 1.0% of its residents five years old and above primarily
speak Gujarati, which is native to the Indian state of Gujarat, at home. While this may seem like a small percentage, it is higher
than 96.6% of the neighborhoods in America.
Notable & Unique: Real Estate
If you like crowded places, then you will probably enjoy the W 24th St / N Lamar Blvd neighborhood. According to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive data analysis, this neighborhood is more densely populated than 96.4% of neighborhoods in the U.S., with 25,543 people per square mile living here.
In addition, one of the really unique and interesting things about the look and setting of the W 24th St / N Lamar Blvd neighborhood is that it is almost entirely dominated by large apartment buildings, such as apartment complexes or high-rise apartments. 89.8% of the residential real estate here is classified as such. This puts this neighborhood on the map as having a higher proportion of large apartment buildings than 98.5% of all neighborhoods in America.
Furthermore, 95.4% of the real estate in the W 24th St / N Lamar Blvd neighborhood is occupied by renters, which is nearly the highest rate of renter occupancy of any neighborhood in America.

Lead poisoning can still be a problem for Idaho’s children. There is evidence that children eligible for Medicaid may be at higher risk for lead exposure. Elevated blood lead levels have been linked to developmental disabilities and other serious conditions in children, including reduced IQ, hyperactivity, nervous system, and kidney damage. Children under the age of six are at highest risk.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) mandates that all Medicaid eligible children be tested for lead at 12 and 24 months, or between 24 months and 21 years of age if they have not been previously tested. If a child has a blood lead test with a result of 5 µg/dL or greater, providers are required, under Idaho law, to report the case to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Office of Epidemiology and Food Protection, or their local health district.
Idaho Medicaid providers can be reimbursed for lead testing by a venous blood draw or capillary test.
- Lead Test CPT: 83655
- Routine Capillary Collection CPT: 36416
The Department of Health and Welfare (DHW) will provide a LeadCare Analyzer machine to providers at no cost. This machine tests for lead by a simple capillary test ("finger prick"). The results are available immediately.
If you are a provider and have questions about the program or would like to request a LeadCare Analyzer, call 208-364-1922.


19.03.2020 – Warsaw, Poland – The European manufacturer of CPU coolers and PC cases, SilentiumPC, inspires fans of CPU coolers with unique looks by introducing the Fortis 3 EVO ARGB. The new model is able to combine the usual quality features of the Fortis CPU cooler series with a striking eye-catcher design. The fully nickel-plated heat-sink of the tower cooler fits perfectly with the fully illuminated 140 mm fan, resulting in a very stylish overall appearance. The bundled fan is the new Pulsar HP ARGB 140 mm SE PWM model, which is made of a milky polymer material and can therefore be illuminated entirely by the addressable RGB LEDs. The asymmetrically designed tower cooler ensures maximum compatibility and great cooling capacity at a competitive price.
Unique Design with ARGB Lighting
The brand new Pulsar HP ARGB 140 mm SE fan gives the Fortis 3 EVO ARGB a distinctive overall appearance and allows phenomenal lighting effects at the same time. The nine addressable RGB LEDs shine smoothly through the milky polymer material of the fan and radiate in all imaginable colors. For convenient fan speed control, the 140 mm fan can be easily regulated in the speed range of 250 and 1,400 rpm via the PWM controller of the mainboard.
Thanks to the standardized 3-pin ARGB connector used here, users are able to choose from several options for adjusting the colors and effects of the lighting. This can be done either by connecting it to a corresponding socket on compatible motherboards, or by using the included Nano Reset ARGB controller, or the Aurora Sync PWM EVO Controller which is available separately. Supported motherboard systems include Asus™ Aura, ASRock™ Polychrome Sync, MSI™ Mystic Light and Gigabyte™ RGB Fusion.
High Performance Tower Cooler
The Fortis 3 EVO ARGB is one of the high-end models in the SilentiumPC's CPU Cooler line-up, which makes this model particularly suitable for processors with high thermal dissipation and thus offers plenty of reserves for modern PC systems. The whole tower is manufactured in high quality and is nickel plated up to the black top plate. The five 6 mm copper heatpipes, which form a major part of the base-plate contact surface area, efficiently conduct the generated heat to the aluminum fins. This enables the tower cooler to effectively cool modern high-end processors.
Compatibility to RAM with high heatsink has also been considered, when designing the Fortis 3 EVO ARGB. For this purpose the whole heat-sink is laterally offset and thus creates sufficient space to the RAM slots. In addition, the Fortis 3 EVO ARGB is limited in its height to 158 mm, in order to assure it easily fits into most PC cases.
Easy installation is also guaranteed, as SilentiumPC relies on a proven multi-socket mounting system based on a backplate for the Fortis 3 EVO ARGB. Compatible sockets include Intel™ sockets LGA 1151, 1150, 1155, 1156, LGA 2066, 2011-3, 2011, LGA 1366, LGA 775 and AMD™ sockets AM4, AM3(+), AM2(+), FM2(+) and FM1.
In addition to Nano Reset ARGB controller and the mounting clips, the scope of delivery also includes the powerful Pactum PT-2 thermal paste.
The SilentiumPC Fortis 3 EVO ARGB CPU cooler is now available in online shops and specialist stores. The manufacturer's recommended retail price is 42.90 € (incl. 19% VAT).

The ongoing drought has put the dairy industry under threat as milk production declines by over 6% an official said this week as reported by Xinhua this week.
According to the Managing Director of Namibia Dairies Gunther Ling, fodder shortages leading to unsustainable feed prices threaten the existence of Namibia's dairy industry.
"The decline in milk production is due to poor rainfall received this year, which resulted in unfavourable grazing conditions and reduced availability of animal feed. Raw milk production is significantly reduced, while cream supply is also under pressure," he said.
Namibia dairies currently produce raw milk from 14 dairy farms.
He said because of the recurring drought in the past few years, four producers have left the industry.
Statistics show that the total market size for fresh and UHT milk and yogurt is 38 million liters per year, of which 62 % is imported.

The government has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions intensity — the ratio between a country’s gross emissions to its gross domestic product at a particular point — by 33-35 per cent by 2030, compared to 2005 levels. For this, India has to ensure about 40 per cent of its electricity comes from non-fossil fuel sources.
India will also increase its forest cover to create an additional carbon sink of 2.5-3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.
These targets (called the intended nationally determined contribution, or INDC) were presented to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for the global Paris summit on Thursday. Prakash Javadekar, Union environment and forests minister, released these to the media in Delhi on Friday.
The government has said till 2030, these emission intensity-reduction targets and adaptation to climate change will require about $2.5 trillion, as well as an array of technologies.
It committed to mobilise new funds from developed countries and said it would work to build an international architecture for diffusion of cutting-edge technologies, as well as collaborative research and development in this regard.
India, in its submission, said, “The successful implementation of INDC is contingent upon an ambitious global agreement, including additional means of implementation to be provided by developed countries, technology transfer and capacity building, following articles 3.1 and 4.7 of the convention.”
Javadekar said while a large proportion of funding would come from domestic sources, developed countries were obliged to provide funding and technology. “We were not part of the problem but we want to be part of the solution,” he said, adding on several emission metrics, India was and would remain well below developed-world levels, though it had a huge development deficit to bridge in the coming decade and a half.
In conclusion, the INDC noted, “Through this INDC, India has shown its commitment to combat climate change and these actions are important contributions to the global effort. However, our efforts to avoid emissions during our development process are also tied to the availability and level of international financing and technology transfer, as India still faces complex developmental challenges.”
Not relenting to pressure from some developed countries to undertake sector-specific targets, India has explicitly stated, “It is clarified that India’s INDC do not bind it to any sector-specific mitigation obligation or action, including in the agriculture sector. India’s goal is to reduce overall emission intensity and improve the energy efficiency of its economy over time and, at the same time, protect the vulnerable sectors of the economy and our society.”
In 2010, India had committed that by 2020, it would reduce the emissions intensity of its economy 20-25 per cent compared to 2005 levels. In its 38-page document to the UN climate convention, the Union government has said India will undertake the emission intensity reduction and the changing of energy mix by 2030, “being sanguine about the unencumbered availability of clean technologies and financial resource from around the world”. It adds India will “mobilise domestic and new and additional funds from developed countries to implement the mitigation and adaptation actions in view of the resource required and the resource gap”.
In another section of the document, it lists an array of existing and future technologies India will need to move towards a low carbon-development route.
The INDC begins by listing a wide array of activities India has already undertaken to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, including the ambitious target of setting up 175 Gw of solar and wind power capacity by 2022 and an enhanced energy-efficiency mission across industrial sectors. It also promises to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy mix, though it doesn’t explicitly mention 300-350 Gw of solar and wind power capacity will be required to achieve non-fossil fuel power capacity of 40per cent, a projection the government has made to arrive at the INDC. The INDC also mentions the initiatives the government will launch, including introduction of new, more efficient and cleaner technologies in thermal power generation, reduction of emissions from the transportation sector, promotion of energy efficiency in industry, transportation, buildings and appliances, and reduction of emissions from waste.
INTENDED NATIONALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTION
1. Reduction of carbon emissions intensity by 30-35% below 2005 levels by 2030
Effect: India will avoid 3.59 bn tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions over business as usual
2. To get around 40 % of the installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy sources by 2030. Currently, it is around 30 %
Effect : 175 Gw of renewable power capacity by 2022 and 300 - 350 Gw by 2030. A 33% jump in non-fossil fuel sources in 15 years
3.Creation of total carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030
Effect: Addition of 680-817 million tonnes of carbon sink
4. Mobilisation of additional funds, both domestic and from developed countries, to implement adaptation and mitigation goals
Effect: $2.5 trn required for INDC implementation at 2014-2015 prices

In recent years Mali, a West African state, has been confronted by a profound crisis with serious political, socio-economic security and human rights consequences. Mali got independence in 1960 from French colonial rule due to ‘Tuareg’ aspiration movement. Even after being an independent and sovereign nation, shadow of colonial rule and the communal crisis of Mali were not resolved. The crisis stems from long standing structural pillars such as weak state institution and governance, fragile social cohesion due to ‘sense of deprivation’ among communities in the North part of Mali. These conditions were exacerbated by the recent factors of political instability, power imbalance, internal strife and inability to restore the situation by state owned security elements/army.
In this juncture ‘suppressed’ community of Northern Mali known as ‘Tuareg’ aftermath of ‘Arab Spring’ in 2012 revolted under the banner of MNLA (Movement National Deliberation de I’Azawad) and launched the ‘war of independence’ to create a new nation in Sahara called ‘Azawad’. Different international and regional Terrorist Armed Groups (TAGs) joined MNLA and started spreading and gaining control all over Mali. MNLA threatened and attempted to capture the capital city Bamako, triggered French Intervention in Mali in 2013, with an operational ingress called ‘Operation Serval’. Operation Serval could re-conquer the areas from MNLA control with the support from African Led International Support Mission in Mali (AFISMA). On 01 July 2013 United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) took over the authority on 25 April 2013 from AFISMA based on UN Security Council Resolution (SCR) 2100. In June 2015 the government and the ethnic Tuareg rebels signed a peace deal which is known as ‘Algiers Peace Accord’. MINUSMA basically deployed in four most conflicted regions namely Mopti, Timbuktu, Kidal and Gao in Mali with Mission/Force Headquarters in capital city Bamako.
MINUSMA is responsible to maintain law and order in the country in assistance with other stakeholders. MINUSMA ensures PoC and freedom of movement of UN agencies and local authorities to deliver MINUSMA mandate. Contingents conduct various operational activities to deliver MINUSMA mandate making Operating Base (Camp). Contingents provide escort to UN logistics convoys for smooth functioning of logistics resupply and ensuring security of Main Supply Route. Check points, domination patrols day and night, key leader engagement and social / CIMIC activities are conducted by MINUSMA with the aim of showing UN presence in the trouble-shooting areas/localities. These activities ensure safety security and confidence among the inhabitants of Mali. However, the French forces deployed in Mali since 2014 are conducting anti-insurgent operation as ‘Operation Barkhane’. The dichotomies between the operation modalities of different forces at times created a chaotic environment in implementing peace process.
TAGs use various indigenous tactics and techniques to attack against International Forces (IFs), UN Forces under MINUSMA, ‘Operation Barkhane’ (French Forces) and Malian Defence and Security Force (MDSF) within the purview of asymmetric warfare.TAGs fix victim operated IED, pressure plate IED and Radio/Remote control IED in MSR to cause causalities to UN vehicle, logistics and personnel. Convoys are ambushed frequently. Suicidal Vehicle borne IED attack is planned against fortified UN/MDSF camps. They conduct complex attack on UN Super camp, MDSF camp. Indirect rocket or mortar fire is normally planned before the sunset and after sunrise on forces Operational base camps. They also conduct harassing fire on UN Super Camp. Civil unrest, banditry, carjacking, communal riot, target killing are other forms of attack. Recently on 14 July 2021 (‘Bastille Day’) the TAGs conducted several indirect rocket fire attacks that fell inside three UN Super Camps (Gao, Meneka and Kidal) causing human causalities and equipment damage. In April 2021, TAG launched an attack on Aguelhok UN camp causing death toll of four peacekeepers and twenty severely injured.
In the context of such deadliest attack and upsurge, comprehensive measures are undertaken by MINUSMA and IFs to curtail the probability of terrorist attack. The countermeasures include proactive actions as well as robust responses by UN security forces. Proactive measures ensured by fortification of Super Camp, satellite based ground surveillance system, drone surveillance, area domination by force protection, extra vigilance in post duty, conducting routine air patrolling and so on. On the contrary, MINUSMA and IFs project robust responses immediately being engaged by TAG activities by launching quick reaction force, conducting special operation on the spot or close vicinity of the incident. Operation group conduct ‘Key Leader Engagement’, interaction with local population, CIMIC activities and collect intelligence in the process. Besides, as response to TAG attack on MINUSMA or IFs, special operations are conducted to curb miscreant activities basing on specific intelligence. Robust posture and appropriate responses by MINUSMA aimed to transmit a strong message to the TAGs to refrain from launching any miscreant activities.
Pioneer Bangladesh Battalion (BANBAT-1) was deployed on 26 April 2014 in MINUSMA. As seventh rotation contingent BANBAT-7 arrived Gao on 09 July 2020. Since the deployment of BANBAT contingents so far a total of eight Bangladeshi peacekeepers have made supreme sacrifice to uphold the MINUSMA mandate and twelve were seriously wounded in action. BANBAT-7 provides force protection to most vulnerable KPI-Gao International Airport. Being only infantry contingent of Gao, Sector East (MINUSMA), this contingent conduct city domination patrol and provide escort to VIP to ensure civilian agencies freedom of movement. BANBAT-7 undertook several challenging operational assignments to deliver MINUSMA mandate under directives of Force Headquarters, Bamako and Sector Headquarters, Gao. Salient operational tasks performed by BANBAT-7 are mentioned subsequently.
Operation SEKA is conducted throughout the year to restore peace and stability and ensure UN presence in North-Eastern Mali-Niger bordering area. Making TOB in ANSONGO – LABAZANGA area after conducting successful operation round the year the terrorist activities of the said area came to almost ‘zero level’, which was duly appreciated by all concerned.
In January 2021, BANNAT-7 was tasked to deploy one of its company size troops under ‘Operation MONGOOSE’ to assist operations to neighbouring Sector (Centre). Gao-Douentzaroute treated as deadliest due to constant IED finds and IED explosion on the way to sector East to Centre. On 27 January 2021 TAG launched a complex attack immediately after an IED explosion on BANBAT-7 convoy near Douentza (400 km away from Gao). Operation group of the contingent fought valiantly upon being attacked by TAGs and forced to fly away in retaliation. Three military personnel were wounded and an armour vehicle was severely damaged due to that TAG attack. The fearless response and fight back of BANBAT-7 proved the courage and velour of Bangladeshi peace-keepers. Operation MONGOOSE (51 days duration) exhibited professionalism and heroic action of BANBAT-7 members, which was duly recognized by MINUSMA and top military leadership of Bangladesh as well.
Immediately after deployment of this contingent, there was a ‘Military Coup’ on 18 August 2020 in Mali, which caused instability and insecure environment. A large group of TAG attempted to enter and take control of Gao city immediately after the coup. At that juncture, through day-night patrols and communication with local leaders BANBAT-7 could restore the situation and saved the locals from a probable massacre. In March 2021, this contingent established a strong security arrangement in Bourem (70 km away from Gao) under ‘Operation Swan’ and enabled the ‘State Authority’ reinstated after seven years.
Despite numerous challenges and constraints, BANBAT-7 is successful in delivering UN mandate of MINUSMA. Pioneer Female Community Engagement Team (FET) of this contingent for the commendable performance received an award from MINUSMA leadership. SRSG and Force Commander, MINUSMA have acknowledged the performance of contingent with high notes awarding prestigious “Force Commander’s Commendation” to BANBAT-7. Bangladesh peacekeepers have won the heart and mind of Malian people by their devotion, professionalism, impartiality and dedication.

(WMC-TV) – Memphis Light, Gas and Water's budget passed through city council Tuesday.
There are water and gas rate adjustments that likely won't affect your bottom line. But some meter changes are coming down the pipe.
MLGW proposed to add 6,000 more digital utility meters and promised no layoffs. But some people are opposed to the idea.
"Smart meters are digital meters that are not read in the traditional manner. They actually communicate with us electronically," said Glenn Thomas, MLGW.
MLGW has a thousand of those meters in use right now, but some say smart meters are not smart at all.
In fact, they are met with disdain at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1288.
A smart meter showed up on Bill Hawkins door not long ago.
"You can see the meter itself, caught on fire and it burned up," said Hawkins, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. "This is all plastic and what happens is when there's a voltage surge down the line the meter's not going know that. The metal can handle that. The plastic can't."
Tuesday, MLGW proposed adding 6,000 more digital meters. If granted, they promised no staff layoffs. The city council approved 60,000 more, even after Hawkins voiced his concerns.
"There's something wrong with these meters and there needs to be a full investigation before these things are placed in MLGW customers' homes," said Hawkins.
A total of more than a million utility meters are spread throughout the county, but 60,000 is considered merely a pilot program.
MLGW says full implementation is years away, only after real-life experimentation with the smart meter.
"There's a number of advantages that they have and I think the whole industry is moving in that direction," said Thomas.
Some smart meters allow customers to keep tabs on usage.
MLGW says it is only in the planning process of rolling out the next round of smart meters.

by Dale Fleury, A+CR Social Studies Content Director
If you take a look at our nation’s history, examples abound where public civil and political discourse approaches, and sometimes crosses, the line of civility and decency. I’m not just referring to common, ordinary people, but individuals who have gone down in history as playing a significant role in our country’s development.
In his book, Anything for A Vote, A History of Mud-Slinging, Character Assassination, And Other Election Strategies, Joseph S. Cummins, documents that from the beginning of our great nation the civility and public discourse line has been breached frequently. Here are two examples that are edited and fit for print:
In the election of 1796, Thomas Jefferson’s opponents accused him of being an atheist and his supporters “walked in rags and slept with the filth and vermin.” Recall Hillary Clinton calling Trump supporters in our most recent presidential election race, “a basket of deplorables?”
During Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four terms in office, some Republicans spread the rumor that FDR was neither an Episcopalian nor a Roosevelt, but secretly a Jew whose real name was “Rosenfeld.” Remember Donald Trump claiming that a judge could not rule properly on one of Trump’s court cases because he was, “Mexican,” or his insistence that President Obama was not a natural-born U.S. citizen?
The examples are numerous and unfortunately much too frequent. A review of the public record shows that this type of discourse in our history is commonplace and tolerated. The First Amendment protects all citizens who wish to express an opinion. In fact, the United States Supreme Court has consistently upheld one’s opinion; so long as it does not create a “clear and present danger” that the government has an interest in protecting.
The challenge today of maintaining a higher level of civility and decency in our public discussions of controversial issues is much different and much more difficult, especially for educators, in this new age of “instant communication.” According to the organization, Teaching Tolerance;
“We live in a climate ripe for noise: Media outlets and 24-hour news cycles mean that everyone with access to a computer has access to a megaphone to broadcast their views. Never before in human history has an opinion had the opportunity to reach so many so quickly regardless of its accuracy or appropriateness. Compounding the situation, young people are learning in an era when athletes routinely hurl invective at umpires, referees and other athletes, when “entertainment” is laced with verbal and physical abuse; and when political protests too often lead to physical attacks.”
What does all of this mean for educators? When we tolerate and allow what students frequently see and hear on television and via social media, our classrooms become a microcosm of society; a place of fear, bullying, and intimidation.
It’s important to remember that our classrooms are an incubator for the next generation, influencing how they will conduct themselves as citizens of a beautifully diverse community. As educators, we are responsible for what happens in our classroom and have a duty to model and practice proper discourse and behavior. Our students come to us with opinions, misconceptions, and prejudices. We can use opportunities where the line of civility and public discourse is being crossed to engage in strategies where ideas and opinions can be exchanged in a safe environment, our classroom.
Social studies teachers across the state of Alabama are doing just that. In this companion post some outstanding teachers — who understand the opportunity they have to promote “civil” public discourse — share ways they are optimizing these opportunities to help students build strong diplomacy and communication skills.
We encourage you to share some of these best practices with your network of education leaders, as we work together to develop the minds of our future generation. We have a moral duty to leave this place better than the way we found it. These teachers are trying to do just that.

The meaning of ‘pnp’ in Social Media is ‘party and play’.
Meaning of ‘pnp’
Over the years, social media has become an increasingly popular way to communicate and share experiences with others. With the rise in social media usage, new terms and acronyms have been created in order to shorten messages and make them easier to understand. One such acronym that is often seen on social media networks is “PNP” which stands for “party and play”.
In the context of social media, PNP typically refers to a type of activity or gathering. It usually involves a group of people who get together to have fun, engage in recreational activities, and/or use drugs such as MDMA (ecstasy) or GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid). The purpose of this type of event is often to enhance the experience of those involved by increasing their connection to each other through drug use.
The term PNP can also be used as shorthand for situations involving consensual sexual encounters between two or more individuals who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In some cases, these types of events may also involve BDSM activities or other forms of kink play. It is important to note that all participants should always provide their full consent before engaging in any type of sexual activity, especially when drugs or alcohol are involved.
It is also important for individuals engaging in PNP activities to practice safe sex and be aware of the potential risks associated with drug use including addiction, overdose, physical harm, and mental health issues. It is always best to seek out help from a medical professional if one suspects they may have an issue with substance abuse or addiction.
Overall, PNP in social media typically refers to recreational activities involving drug use among a group of people who are looking for a good time. It can also refer to consensual sexual encounters between two or more individuals while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. While it can be enjoyable for those involved, it is important for everyone involved to practice safety measures and be aware that there are potential risks associated with this kind of behavior.

For immediate release
November 21, 2022
As meetings rebound, workers warn of looming labor disputes over stagnant wages and poor working conditions
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Sodexo convention center workers in five major markets for meetings and group travel – Orlando, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Sacramento, and Detroit – today warned of possible strikes in Las Vegas and Orlando and labor disputes elsewhere over low wages and working conditions. Cooks, dishwashers, banquet servers, concession cashiers, and other Sodexo workers at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando announced that they have voted to authorize a strike by 100 percent. Centerplate workers at the Las Vegas Convention Center will hold a strike vote on December 7 and 8. Centerplate was purchased by Sodexo in 2017. All are represented by the hospitality workers’ union UNITE HERE.
Sodexo, which operates catering at all five convention centers, reported a “strong increase in revenues and profitability in Fiscal 2022.” Meeting levels in 2023 and 2024 are expected to surpass those from 2019, according to a forecast by Knowland. Yet Sodexo food service workers at convention centers say their jobs aren’t enough to keep up with the cost of living.
“I support a strike because I need more money in my pocket to pay my bills when the cost of life has gone up so much. I struggle with food, rent, and gas with the money I make. I make $13.60 and our convention center is one of the biggest in the country. My coworkers and I are ready to do what it takes to win the contract we need,” said Jackeline Ponce, a Sodexo retail worker at the Orange County Convention Center.
The average hourly wage of Sodexo convention workers at the Orange County Convention Center, Las Vegas Convention Center, New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Huntington Place, and SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in February 2020 was $11.77 and had only increased 5.7% to $12.44 by August 2022; the national seasonally-adjusted inflation between those dates was 14.1%. Of the 154 out of 449 Sodexo convention workers surveyed by UNITE HERE at the Detroit, Sacramento, and Las Vegas convention centers, 84% reported having trouble covering at least one expense – rent or mortgage, food, utilities, transportation, healthcare, childcare – in the past year; of those, 71% reported having trouble covering more than one expense.
“I’m voting to strike because we are the ones that make the Convention Center successful, and we want to get a fair share of that success,” said Dylan Schoenhard, banquet porter for Sodexo at Las Vegas Convention Center. “We have been busy at the Convention Center, with big shows like SEMA. But we need higher pay because everything is so much more expensive now, especially with rent and housing. We don’t want to be treated like second-class workers.”
In addition to low wages, Sodexo convention center workers report they’re doing more work with less help. Between February 2020 and August 2022, all five convention centers saw a reduction of Sodexo’s workforce by 38%. Several departments across the convention centers saw massive decreases in jobs: 53% of kitchen jobs, 50% of bar jobs, and 47% of quick service jobs were lost. Black workers were more likely not to keep their jobs than white workers: 57% of black workers did not keep their jobs, compared to 51% of white workers.
UNITE HERE International President D. Taylor: “The industry is saying 2023 will be a good year for them, and the workers who make meetings and events possible deserve to share in that recovery. But instead, Sodexo is using pandemic job eliminations as an opportunity to keep down labor costs and boost their profits. Strikes at the country’s second and third largest convention centers are a real possibility if Sodexo doesn’t start treating workers with the respect they deserve.”
UNITE HERE is in active bargaining with Sodexo in Orlando (UNITE HERE Local 737) and Las Vegas (Culinary Workers Union Local 226), and is awaiting bargaining in New Orleans (UNITE HERE Local 23), Sacramento (UNITE HERE Local 49), and Detroit (UNITE HERE Local 24). The bargaining units and disputes at each convention center are distinct, but key issues include wage increases, affordable health care, secure retirement, and fair scheduling.
UNITE HERE is the hospitality workers’ union in the U.S. and Canada, representing over 300,000 workers in hotels, gaming, food service, airports, and more.

Yeah, We Knew That
Thirteen percent of UCLA undergrads join fraternities and sororities, and almost twenty-five percent of USC undergrads go Greek. According to a new study published in the journal Sex Roles, undergraduate women who join sororities are more likely to objectify themselves. In other words, they judge their own bodies from an outsider's perspective. They also display higher levels of disordered eating attitudes and behaviors, and show higher levels of body-related shame than those who don't participate in sorority recruitment. Don't be so quick to judge the Greeks, though: sorority membership may simply amplify pre-existing problems.

Whether you like or dislike Charlie Sheen, the lead actor of “Two and a Half Men” is all over the news lately following his explosive outburst towards the Executive Producer of the hit CBS comedy. As a result, production for “Two and a Half Men” has been suspended for the remainder of the season, if it ever will return. As a result of Sheen’s behavior, he has become subject to a lot of criticism from late-night hosts as well as fellow celebrities. Celebrities have taken to their Twitter accounts to poke fun of Sheen. Although we may be laughing, Sheen probably isn’t.
Comedienne Sarah Silverman tweeted, “If I hung out w 20 year old porn stars all the time time I’d think I was a genius too,” after the “Two and a Half Men” star said he “cured” his drug and alcohol addiction with his mind.”
Zooey Deschanel cracked, “MYSTERY SOLVED: now we know who the “half a man” is in “two and a half men.”…HINT: it’s not the kid!!!!” Adding the latest Middle East crisis into the topic, Denis Leary, Rescue Me star said, “Is it just me or is Charlie Sheen starting to sound a lot like Moammar Kaddafi?”
E! News’ Giuliana Rancic said,”How crazy is that Charlie Sheen rant? Have u noticed he loves saying ‘winning?’” Comic Andy Richter joked.”Unlike SOME people, I can stop winning whenever I want! #sorrycharlie.” Meanwhile, John Stamos put a certain TV-casting rumor to rest. “Contrary to the rumors, i am not replacing Charlie Sheen on Two and Half Men. however, Martin Sheen has asked me to be his son.”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presidential flag-bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), should withdraw from the 2023 presidential race because he has allegedly “been convicted, sentenced and fined for narcotic trafficking in a criminal suit”.
The PDP’s demand was contained in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, and made available to SPY NIGERIA on Monday evening.
The PDP’s call comes hours after Tinubu’s camp asked security agencies to arrest and prosecute Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the main opposition party over a recent revelation of alleged collusion with former President Olusegun Obasanjo to fleece and loot public funds when they were in power from 1999- 2007.
“Having been convicted, sentenced and fined for narcotic trafficking in a criminal suit filed pursuant to the United States Criminal Code, Asiwaju Tinubu cannot by virtue of Section 137 (1)(d) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) seek office as President of Nigeria.
“The APC Presidential Candidate has not come out to deny the conviction and forfeiture or show evidence of any attempt by him to challenge or appeal the judgment, apparently believing that it will slide with time.
“Asiwaju Tinubu ought to know that time does not run against the State in a criminal matter!
“He should therefore withdraw from the Presidential race having been found ineligible and not qualified to run or to contest for the Office of the President of Nigeria under the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution,” the PDP’s statement reads in part.

[Source: State Press] – Scientists at the Polytechnic campus may soon be able to take their algae-based fuel production from the lab to a factory, an investor involved with the project said Thursday.
The challenge now is for researchers to take the exercises they do in the lab to create oil and scale it up to factory production, said Bill Harris, president and CEO of Science Foundation Arizona, a company that helps fund ASU algae research.
The next stage for the research team is creating jet fuel, Harris said. When they get to that point, private investors will fund the process.
One of the project’s lead researchers is Milton Sommerfeld, a professor of applied sciences and mathematics.

HOPKINS, STEPHEN. (1707–1785). Signer. Rhode Island. Born in Scituate, Rhode Island, on 7 March 1707, Stephen Hopkins sat in the general assembly all but four of the years from 1732 to 1752, and held several other public offices before moving to Providence in 1742 to join his brother Esek in business. He served on the superior court from 1747 to 1749, and became chief justice in 1751. In 1755 he became governor, and held this office until 1768 with the exception of three years when he was defeated by Samuel Ward of Newport, his bitter rival. An early champion of colonial rights and union, Stephen attended the Albany Congress of 1754. In 1764 he wrote Rights of the Colonies Examined, in which he argued against the Stamp and Sugar Acts and foreshadowed John Dickinson's theory of colonial home rule. As chief justice of the superior court, he frustrated Crown authorities in the Gaspée affair of 1772. He was a delegate to the first and Second Continental Congresses, signed the Declaration of Independence, and was a member of the committee to organize the navy. In this capacity he would appear to have done his country a disservice in supporting the selection of his brother Esek as naval commander in chief. Presumably he was not an innocent bystander when Esek's son, John B. Hopkins, was appointed one of the four captains in the new navy. After serving on the committee for preparing the Articles of Confederation, Stephen Hopkins returned home because of ill health in September 1776. He served in the assembly from 1777 through 1779, and then retired from politics. He died in Providence on 13 July 1785.
