Yesterday I was influenced with the rottenness of human relations. They appeared full of death and decay, and offended the nostrils. In the night I dreamed of delving amid the graves of the dead, and soiled my fingers with their rank mould. It was sanitarily, morally, and physically true.

The government has called for investment in innovations in the art and craft sector to ensure that exporters reach their destination markets with standardized products.
He said the country’s handicraft sector with the right support could be well-positioned to feed the economy while stakeholders derive good income from earnings.
Mr. Alan Kyerematen, the Minister of Trade and Industry, said this in a speech read on his behalf at the opening of a newly refurbished Aburi Craft Village and a five-day exhibition.
The refurbishment of the Aburi Craft Village was supported with Government funding.
However, the items on display have been carefully crafted by Artisans from other locations within Ghana.
He said the growth of public-private partnership would drive future success stories in the export trade sector, saying the government was committed to promoting its industrialization agenda and focusing on the value-addition of raw materials sourced in the country.
The Minister said the preservation of Ghanaian traditional culture and art had become increasingly important as it was an area that seemed more to be consistently infiltrated by modern and foreign influences.
He said the handicraft products’ actual contribution to the total NTE basket was still low at 1.1 per cent, representing $ 30.6million but it is a huge improvement on the sector’s 2019 figure of $ 14.5million.
In November 2021, Ghana represented at the Intra-Africa Trade Fair at Durban in South Africa with 1,100 exhibitors from 55 countries in attendance.
Ghana stood tall when it won the award for the “Most Extraordinary Experiential Stand.”
A review of the 2020 Non-Traditional Export Report indicates that of all three sectors’ contribution to the total earnings, it was handicraft products that recorded a percentage increase of 110 per cent as against 0.65 per cent for Agricultural products and negative 2.94 per cent for manufacturing products.
Ghana, he said, was renowned for producing the best and authentic African arts and crafts, ranging from ceramics, woodwork, brass and bronze sculptures, jewellery, artefacts made from stone and metal as well as a range of textiles.
He said the country had enormous export opportunities brought about by the African Continental Free Trade Area market, which was worth some $ 3 trillion.
He urged all to support government practical initiatives and policies, including the National Export Development Strategy, the 10-point industrialization agenda, the one district, one factory and the GHS100 billion Ghana CARES Obaatanpa programme.
Dr. Afua Asabea Asare, the Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Export Promotion Authority, said the Aburi Craft Village had been in existence for over three decades, starting as a small enterprise with challenges, including having a showroom to exhibit their beautiful pieces and how best to drive sales.
The Authority, under the auspices of the Ministry of Trade and Industry, developed the idea to build the multifaceted edifice, which could be used to tackle the various challenges faced by the workers and to ensure that they bounce back to business.
She said before July 2020, the beads producers in Abompe, who produced Bauxite beads had to carry out the arduous task of chipping, drilling, grinding, and polishing the beads, with their bare hands in a painful process, using rudimentary equipment with very little efficiency.
GEPA intervened in the process by supporting the infrastructure to upscale their skill using mechanized means and enabling them to expand production.
In July 2020, GEPA built and handed over a multi-faceted workshop at Abompe, complete with mechanized machinery to serve as a common use facility for bauxite beads production.
She said GEPA had similar plans for the Art and Craft Centres at Abrafo in the Central Region, Keta in the Volta Region and the Bolga Market where famous Bolga baskets were woven.
She encouraged the Leadership of the Centre to instil a strong maintenance culture and sustain its patronage, saying “it is only with close collaboration and support that we can achieve the objective of this Art and Craft Village which is to be an Exhibition Centre of international repute.”
Otoobuor Djan Kwasi II, the Chief of Aburi, thanked the organizers for the event and pledged his support for the success of the exhibition.
Nana Krobea Asante, President, Aburi Craft Village Association, appealed to the government to build an ultra-modern machine shop to meet international standards for their exhibitions.

Monessen residents soon will be able to borrow library books – at the laundromat.
Jill Godlewski, children’s director at the Monessen Public Library, is planning to place several portable libraries scattered around town. Godlewski hopes to situate the wooden dispensaries once the weather clears.
“The idea is to get books to people instead of people having to come to the library to get books,” Godlewski said. “We want to make sure there are no barriers to getting a book.
My favorite part? A partnership with the local school!
Monessen school district Superintendent Linda Marcolini is planning for wood shop students at the high school to build sturdier, weather-proof units for outdoor locations like City Park.
“Mr. (David) Gilpin, our shop teacher and students will be making them,” Marcolini said. “They will get done before the end of the school year… our district would do anything for our community and public library.”
What an awesome take on an already awesome project.
PS: Jill Godlewski is not only a fantastic librarian, but she is also my mother in law.

Excess moisture in the air may not only cause considerable damage to your items but also to your well-being. The best dehumidifier gets rid of excess moisture in the air and could help save you from mold and get rid of allergies.
You should know that humidity levels above 50% can breed dust mites, mildew and mold, triggering allergies or other health problems. Therefore, it is important to own a good dehumidifiers to keep the excess humidity in check and to protect your health.
How Do Dehumidifiers Works?
There are two primary dehumidifiers on the market today – the refrigeration type of dehumidifiers and desiccant dehumidifiers. Each of these types of dehumidifiers has unique attributes that make them suitable for different uses.
A refrigeration dehumidifier, sometimes known as refrigerant dehumidifiers, removes water through producing a cold surface that the moisture can condense on or it is an air to air heat pump.
It uses a fan to pull warm, moist air from the room that passes through a filter and then over a series of coils – a refrigerated coil and a heated coil. Using condensation on cold refrigerant coils to take away moisture, the warm moist air condenses into water droplets and drips into the container inside the machine. The dried air is then reheated via a heated coil and released back into the room as drier air free from moisture.
A refrigerant or sometime known as compressor dehumidifiers are the most common dehumidifiers found in homes, industrial and commercial because they provide the ideal level of water extraction at the lowest cost operating effectively at varying temperatures.
A desiccant dehumidifier removes moisture from humid air through the absorption process. It uses a chemical called desiccant – hence the name – to soak up moisture in the air.
How to Know You Need a Dehumidifier at Home
Here are 5 signs that indicate you might need a dehumidifier at home:
- Water stains on your walls or ceilings of your home
- High humidity rooms with poor ventilation or no ventilation
- Small black spots or mold spores growing on your walls or in areas with high humidity
- Moldy or mildew smells
- Mold growing on your furniture or items


Notts County host their first home game of the season this weekend when they play Chesterfield at Meadow Lane.
The Magpies go into the game having produced a fine performance at Scunthorpe United on Tuesday night when they were knocked out 6-5 on penalties, after the game finished 3-3 after extra time.
Boss Kevin Nolan made eight changes to the team which played Coventry City, which saw Ryan Yates, Jorge Grant, Rob Milsom and Carl Dickinson all enjoy fine games.
Nolan admitted afterwards that competition for places is fierce this season and, following some impressive performances, has some tough decisions to make.
Does he recall Lewis Alessandra and Shola Ameobi? Or does he keep the faith with the team that was excellent on Tuesday night?
What would you do if you were Nolan?
Well here’s your chance to give us your team for the Chesterfield game at the weekend and share it with fellow Notts fans.

For those who have wondered where the West Pole on earth is located, Bee Cave, Texas marks this official point. In 2007, the Texas legislature formally declared this small city located on the 95th meridian as being worthy of such recognition.
Bee Cave has been a self-governing city since 1987 but its roots date much further back to the 1850’s. At the time, Travis County was experiencing a population boom and Dietrich Bohls decided to pack up his family and move out to the land between Barton Creek and Little Barton Creek. Not long after, a merchant set up a small store and identified his location at the intersection of what is now State Highway 71 and Hamilton Pool Road as Bee Cave just outside of downtown Austin TX . Mexican honey bees once lived along the shores of these two rivers in such abundance that their influence on the growing community could not be ignored. While the honey bees are no longer in abundance, armadillos are and each February 2, the City of Bee Cave celebrates Armadillo Day.
Drive east on TX-71 E toward Cross Town Parkway. Exit left onto US-290 E/TX-71 E. Merge onto TX-1-LOOP N/S Mo-Pac Expressway. Take the exit toward TX-360-LOOP/Capital of Texas Highway.

The photograph transports us back to Victorian times, evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era defined by its intricate water management systems and transport infrastructure. The reflections dancing upon the tranquil waters add depth and atmosphere to this timeless composition. Preserved within Historic England's archive collection, this remarkable snapshot offers glimpses into life during the 1880s. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's enduring allure. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing riverscape frozen in time, we are reminded of our shared history and how it continues to shape our present-day experiences along these historic waterways.

The sumptuous brick and stone mansion of Benjamin Newton Duke and his wife, the former Sarah Pearson Angier, at No. 1009 Fifth Avenue had stood only seven years in 1908. Nevertheless, the millionaire began to assemble plots further north, at the southwest corner of Fifth Avenue and 89th Street, as the site of the family's new home.
In March that year he purchased the 34-foot wide corner plot, and in October acquired the 129-foot long parcel on 89th Street. The Real Estate Record & Builders' Guide commented, "The additional property has been secured to enable Mr. Duke to increase the size of the residence which he is going to build on the site, plans for which are being prepared by architect C. P. H. Gilbert." Gilbert's plans called for a six-story residence to cost $190,000--just under $5.5 million today.
Construction took three years to complete. The regal Renaissance Revival structure was faced in limestone and surrounded by a balustraded stone wall. The entrance within a columned portico was centered on 89th Street. Gilbert forewent fussy decoration, producing a dignified, understated residence that reflected the massive wealth of its owner.
Benjamin Duke was the son of industrialist Washington Duke. He and his brother, James, now headed their father's American Tobacco Company. In 1905 they had founded the Southern Power Company, later named Duke Energy. Benjamin and Sarah had two children, Mary Lillian and Angier Buchanan.
Mary was 24-years old when the family moved into their new mansion. Her father's great wealth and her beauty and cultural refinement drew many suitors. Among them was Prince Ludovico Pigniatelli d'Aragon of Spain, who fell hopelessly in love with her. It was a one-sided romance and one that neither father supported. (For one thing, the prince was a Roman Catholic and the Dukes were Methodists.)
The prince visited New York in the winter of 1911, prompting The Evening World to comment, "Rumors that the tobacco prince's daughter would see the visiting Spanish prince caused much discussion." Like Benjamin Duke, however, King Alfonso of Spain was vehemently opposed. The World reported that in March 1912 Prince Pigniatelli "left for Spain to win the King's consent to his proposed alliance."
The attempt failed. On May 13, 1912 The Evening World reported that the prince "has retired to Biarritz, very much depressed. The cause of Prince Pigniatelli's depression is the determination of Miss Mary L. Duke...not to marry the Spanish nobleman." A reporter who knocked on the door of the Fifth Avenue mansion got a curt, one-line statement from Benjamin Duke: "There never was any engagement between my daughter and Prince Pigniatelli."

Not long afterward the New-York Tribune reported that the prince had attempted "suicide in his apartments in Paris after he had been reported as jilted by Miss Mary Duke...A revolver bullet was removed from above his heart and his life saved after several weeks in the hospital."
The year 1915 was remarkable for the Duke family. On April 28 more than 1,200 persons filed into Philadelphia's Holy Trinity Church to witness the wedding of 31-year-old Angier to 17-year-old Cordelia Drexel Biddle. Mary Duke was the maid of honor. The New York Times said "the fact that one of the oldest and richest Philadelphia families was united with one of the richest families of the South combined to make today's ceremony one of the most notable in this city in recent years."
The reception was held at the Biddle mansion, during which some guests may gotten a surprise. The bride's spotlight was slightly stolen when the engagement of her brother, Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, Jr. and the groom's sister, Mary, was announced.
The Evening World wrote, "it was a real love match, this betrothal of one of the greatest of American heiresses and a sturdy young member of an American family which is foremost in democracy, blood and wealth. Miss Duke had been wooed by princes and noblemen. She rejected them all for a keen, clean-cut, blue-eyed Yankee."
The wedding took place at James B. Duke's country estate, Duke Farms, in Somerville, New Jersey two months later on June 15. The Evening World reported, "On the great Duke estate of 4,900 acres, filled with fountains and flowers, birds and trees of all kinds, they found a background for a romantic wedding which could not be equaled anywhere in the world." One guest, former President William H. Taft, agreed, calling the ceremony "A marriage in Paradise."

The first hints that Benjamin Duke's health was declining came in February 1917 as he and Sarah were heading to Palm Beach. They got as far as Jacksonville, Florida, when doctors deemed it "advisable" to turn around and go instead to Durham, North Carolina. On February 20 the New-York Tribune reported that he was "said to be suffering from a nervous breakdown."
Press attention would turn to Angier the following year, when Cordelia left him, taking their two sons, Angier, Jr. and Anthony Drexel Biddle Duke. Cordelia "made her home at Byrn Mawr," said the New-York Tribune, while Angier moved back into his parents' mansion.
On August 13, 1921 The New York Herald ran the shocking headline "Angier B. Duke Held On Homicide Charge" and reported that on August 9 he was driving from his summer home in Ardsley-on-Hudson, New York when he was involved in a collision with the automobile of Henry L. Hobart at Broadway and 201st Street. Owen Kevlon, a 50-year-old chauffeur, who was walking along the roadway, was struck and killed.
Duke, released on bail, did not help his public persona by his actions. On August 14 the New York Herald reported that he "could not be reached yesterday to learn his side of the story. It was said first at his home in Ardsley-on-Hudson that he was golfing and later that he had gone to the Ardsley Club for dinner." Nevertheless, on September 15 The New York Times reported that charges against Duke had been dropped for insufficient evidence.
Five days after that article Cordelia filed for divorce. It is possible that she suspected that there was another woman. On September 20, 1921 the New-York Tribune noted, "It was reported in New York about a month ago that Duke, after being divorced, purposes to wed Miss 'Peg' Watson, of New York."
Angier Duke's misfortunes only continued. On August 25, 1922 he crashed his automobile into a light post in Southampton, Long Island. The New-York Tribune reported, "The force of the collision broke the post and badly damaged the automobile. Duke was taken to Southampton Hospital with cuts and lacerations.
The next year he was returning from the Kentucky Derby and slipped while passing between two private railroad cars, breaking his shoulder. "According to witnesses, it was fortunate that Duke did not fall beneath the wheels," reported the Daily News on May 27, 1923. His luck would not last through the year, however.
On the night of September 3 Duke and five guests, including three women, boarded a small boat to row out to the Duke yacht moored near the Indian Harbor Yacht Club in Long Island Sound. One of the party, Mrs. Richelieu E. Wheelan,
later said, "The dinghy was overloaded when Angier stepped in, throwing us into the water." Angier had just helped Mrs. Wheelan back into the boat and was about to pull himself in, when he was apparently struck by a float and was drowned.
His funeral was held in the Fifth Avenue mansion on September 4 after which his body was taken to North Carolina "in the special car occupied by Mrs. [Florence] Harding in President [Warren G.] Harding's funeral train," according to the Daily News.
Angier B. Duke's casket is removed from the mansion following his funeral. Daily News, September 5, 1923 (copyright expired)
Only Mary attended the ceremonies in Durham. The Daily News reported, "Sorrowing in their Fifth Avenue mansion over the accidental drowning of their son, Angier B. Duke, thirty-nine, Benjamin N. Duke, multi-millionaire tobacco maker, and Mrs. Duke were unable yesterday to escort the body to its final resting place," and added, "The Dukes are prostrated by their son's death."
Benjamin N. Duke's health continued to fail. Finally, on January 9, 1929 The New York Times reported that "the last of the famous Duke tobacco family...died at 5:45 o'clock yesterday morning at his home, 2 East Eighty-ninth Street. He was in his seventy-fourth year and had been in ill health for several years." Sarah, Mary and her husband, and the family's clergyman, Rev. Dr. Ralph W. Sockman, were at his bedside.
The New York Times noted that at the turn of the century Duke's fortune had been estimated at more than $60 million (closer to $1.9 billion in today's money). But over the years he had given massive amounts to "numerous public and private benefactions."
The bulk of the fortune was left to Mary, and $1.165 million was bequeathed to philanthropic enterprises including $580,000 to the Angier B. Duke Memorial, Inc. Sarah received "the life use of the residences" in New York and Durham.
Sarah did not remain in the mansion which she and her husband had erected two decades earlier. On October 11, 1929 the New York Evening Post reported that the Thorofare Development Company had "persuaded the Benjamin Duke estate to sell its large house." It was in turn sold to the James L. Stewart Corporation which was gobbling up the adjoining mansions. After four months of purchases the corporation laid plans for an 18-story and penthouse co-operative apartment house.

That structure survived only until 1958 when it was demolished to make way for the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.


If an indie coming-of-age film met a blockbuster from ‘80s Tokyo, that would be the movie that sets the stage for Kennen’s music. Born in ‘99, the young Toronto-based producer, songwriter and singer draws from a wide range of inspirations to create a unique pop sound – all from the laptop and mic in his bedroom.
‘City Lights’ is Kennen’s new single from his upcoming debut EP. And it is a chill pop song that will make you want to hit up your friends for a night drive, a 12AM burger run, or a trip to the beach to stare at the waves and the silhouette of the skyline.
Or just give you the inkling to hold the one you love, tight, as the sun sets over the California sun of your dreams.
Production is angular, with proficiency at crest – Kennen’s ambitions, per note to note, delivers with overwhelming value and emotional connection.

A headline is making the viral rounds: “Lena Dunham: ‘I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had.’” What Dunham was expressing, in her Women of the Hour podcast, was a wish for abortion to be destigmatized. But she expressed this wish in very on-brand (that is, oblivious and outrage-inspiring) terms, thereby insuring virality. Who — regardless of stance on abortion — wouldn’t be offended by a remark like that? (There’s also a persuasive progressive critique.) And so here we are, neck-deep in a conversation about how problematic Lena Dunham is, rather than one we ought to be having, about threats to reproductive rights.
Why does Dunham keep going viral? I was going to point you to my 2013 blog post, “The millionth thing you’ve read about Lena Dunham and privilege,” but why not start with Michelle Dean’s 2012 (so how did I only just find this?) Nation article, ” What We Talk About When We Talk About Lena Dunham,” which is overall quite thoughtful, but which contains the following frustrating passage:
“The word ‘nepotism’ gets thrown around, and even disputed, although its use doesn’t much bother me. Though I’ve yet to hear of some precise connection Dunham pulled, I’m sure somewhere there is one. This is, after all, New York.”
With all the honest-to-goodness nepotism around, I’m inclined to skip calling out the forms that are only inferred.
In any case, four years on, we’re still hearing about Lena Dunham’s privilege, the left and right taking turns, but landing in much the same place. Kay Hymowitz’s (right-leaning) City Journal piece from December 18th, i.e. two days ago, which makes the point, by now rather familiar to Sisterhoodreaders, that mainstream feminism didn’t manage to predict (or prevent) Trump. “[T]he Girls creator and star doesn’t know much about ‘women,’ but she has a Ph.D. in privilege,” is how Hymowitz’s piece wraps up.
I’m not a “Girls” fangirl (fanwoman?), exactly, and don’t know Dunham personally. So why do I keep returning to the topic? Two reasons: First, I think there’s something sloppy about the knee-jerk attribution of all the world’s woes to one (intentionally?) controversial celebrity. Yes, she made for odd choice of Democratic presidential surrogate, but unlike a certain other controversial celebrity who comes to mind, she is not president-elect.
Next and more importantly, I’m not convinced anything all that… politically beneficial comes of Dunham scapegoating. Anti-Dunham-ism hovers between much-needed critiques of a certain brand of celebrity activism and a socially acceptable way of channelling distaste for women, and more specifically: outspoken women, feminist women, progressive women, ambitious women, Jewish women, ordinary-looking women, and women who are just a bit too New York. Women, that is, who are not, by and large, either rich or famous. Anti-Dunhamism, in other words, has all the risks of populism, with the added one that comes from anointing just one person the elite.

Running Windows XP Media Center
I believe that the malware I have is called Ukash.
Once Windows loads, I get the request for $$ and the computer is completely frozen, including the mouse (how you're supposed to enter the code is beyond me).
I am unable to start Windows in safe mode as well.
I have already tried the Kaspersky rescue disc and run a full system scan. Two Trojans were found and cleaned but it has not made a difference. I am still locked out of my computer.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The Wellsboro Varsity Boys Soccer team took home a 2nd place finish at the Millville Tournament to host Millville on Saturday, August 31.
The Hornets took a 2-goal lead early in the 1st period on a pair of goals by junior Joseph Grab. Grab's first goal came off an assist from junior Zach Rowland, and the second was headed in off a corner kick by junior Will Poirier.
Then the wheels fell off. The defending state champ Quakers quickly added 3 first-period goals to take the lead, then added 2 more in the second period for a 5-2 win.
"Our preseason scrimmages and opening regular season schedule has provided us with a great opportunity to test our level of play," coach Todd Fitch said. "Having a match today against 2018 PIAA class A state champion, Millville, is an example.
"We struck first and took a two goal lead in the first half but when you play a team of that caliber, the battle continues. Their productivity on set pieces (ex. free kicks, corner kicks) revealed that we need to be better in that part of the game."
The Quakers outshot Wellsboro 11-7, Wellsboro had an 8-7 edge in corner kicks, and Millville had 9 direct kicks to the Hornets' 6.
Junior Ethan Ryan made 4 saves in goal.
Wellsboro (1-1) begin Northern Tier League play at Athens on Wednesday, September 4.

Tyndall to house MQ-9 Reapers
Unmanned aerial drone squadron to employ 1,600 personnel, boost economy
TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE — Tyndall Air Force Base’s workforce will increase by more than a third after the Air Force on Tuesday named the base its preferred location for a new unmanned aerial drone wing.
The MQ-9 Reaper Wing could bring in, according to various estimates, from 1,400 to 1,600 airmen and their dependents. The base currently employs about 3,500 military members, along with 1,200 civilians and 1,500 contractors.
“We have the space over there and the infrastructure,” said U.S. Rep. Neal Dunn, R-Panama City, who has advocated for Tyndall’s selection since his election. “It will bring a tremendous boost to our region. Tyndall is a perfect location for this new wing, and this community will welcome the new airmen and their families who come to live and work here with open arms.”
Dunn said he wasn’t “prepared to guess” the local economic impact but that “it will be huge.”
“As additional personnel from the MQ-9 community are assigned, this will mean an increase of our footprint, not only on our economic impact, but also in the Bay County and Panama City community, Tyndall spokesman Don Arias said. “As of 2014, Tyndall’s total economic impact was $605 million.”
The MQ-9 is an armed unmanned aerial vehicle that can perform combat, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, according to a news release from Dunn’s office. The Reaper has a wingspan of 66 feet, a range of 1,000 nautical miles, and a service ceiling of 50,000 feet. It can be armed with AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, GBU-12 Paveway II, and GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munitions.
Arias said the base is looking forward to serving with the MQ-9 airmen.
“We expect airmen will begin arriving to Tyndall as early as 2020. The first aircraft are expected to arrive at the new location in 2022,” Arias said. “This will be a process. ... It’ll be a few years until we meet those airmen.”
Tyndall had been a front runner — along with nearby Eglin Air Force Base, Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California — to house the squadron, which is expected to include 24 of the aircraft.
“We selected Tyndall Air Force Base because it was the best location to meet the unique requirements of the MQ-9 Reaper” because of fewer aircraft competing for air space, nearby training ranges, great weather and lower up-front costs, Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson stated in a press release from Tyndall.
The selection also helps diversify opportunities for MQ-9 personnel by sending them to different bases, the release stated. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein said co-locating the wing with NORTHCOM’s Air Operations Center and 1st Air Force, also housed at Tyndall, “will bring increased capability ... in addition to increasing lethality and giving our other combatant commanders the best trained operators possible.”
“Remotely Piloted Aircraft and the intelligence capabilities supporting them remain vital to our national security and the security of our allies,” Goldfein said.
Dunn said the new wing is “huge” for Bay County and thanked Tom Neubauer, Glen McDonald and others with the Bay Defense Alliance, along with other military and civilian leaders.
Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the decision is “a big win not only for Panama City, but for the entire state of Florida.”
The Air Force now must complete a legally required environmental analysis to “examine the potential impacts of bringing the Reaper to Tyndall” before making a final basing decision. It is unknown when the analysis will begin, although Arias said it is a “lengthy process” that could take up to two years.
The U.S. Air Force proposed the MQ-9 Reaper system in response to the Department of Defense directive to support initiatives of overseas contingency operations. It is larger and more powerful than the MQ-1 Predator, and is designed to execute time-sensitive targets with persistence and precision, and destroy or disable those targets. The “M” is the DOD designation for multi-role, and “Q” means remotely piloted aircraft system. The “9” indicates it is the ninth in the series of remotely piloted aircraft systems.

Hey there knowledgable people. Does anyone know why the chillipeppr auto level is driving by bits into the material at full speed snapping them off every time?
I have my probe wiring to connected to the A5 pin on the Grbl1.1f board.
In CNCjs, if I run the probe command, it lowers the z axis until it makes contact and the raises. The expected result.
In Chillipeppr, if I ‘Run Test Probe’ , the Z axis lowers until it makes contact, then stops. The expected result.
In Chillipepper, If I now lift the z axis up a couple of mm back off the board, then execute the Autolevel, the z axis just goes full pelt into the board, snapping the bit. I don’t know how many more bits a can sacrifice testing this.

About 200 people lobbied the Scottish Parliament in support of equal marriage on Wednesday of last week.
MSPs from across the political spectrum supported the demonstration. Tasha Boardman from BLOGS, the Edinburgh University LGBT Society, said, “Students can’t understand why there would be a ban on equal marriage.”
People chanted, “Black, white, gay, straight—love does not discriminate”.
The legislation passed its first stage later that day.

The Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha and Meijer recently joined forces to teach kids about healthy habits and nutritious foods through the Kids in the Kitchen program, which gives children the opportunity to learn how to prepare meals and cook.
Meijer Healthy Living Adviser Maribel Alchin joined several students to answer questions about making healthier choices and demonstrate how to create tasty, healthy snacks. Participants created Greek yogurt parfaits and learned about the benefits of each ingredient.
We believe that as children learn about healthy habits and become more confident in the kitchen, they are able to prepare healthy meals. As one of several ways Meijer is strengthening its commitment to health and wellness, we are proud to support the program that equips them with these skills.

Rice declined to say if disbursements under that program had been halted, but said further discussions were needed about Pakistan's fiscal spending plans, structural reforms, particularly in the tax and energy sectors, and social spending.
IMF staff were unable to complete the talks during a recent mission, but the global lender remained "fully engaged" and aimed to resume the discussions in the period ahead, Rice told a regular IMF briefing.
"We stand ready to continue to support Pakistan," he said. "As the recovery gains strength, it will be important to accelerate the implementation of policies and reforms needed to address some of the long-standing challenges facing the Pakistani economy."
Pakistan this month set a target of 4.8% growth in gross domestic product for the 2021-22 financial year and a fiscal deficit target of 6.3%.
The country, which borders India, Afghanistan and Iran, surpassed growth projections in the 2020-21 financial year despite a third wave of COVID-19 infections, reaching GDP growth of 3.96%, after a 0.47% contraction in 2019-20.

Pro-Tinubu Group Procure 1,200 JAMB Forms For Kogi Students
In a bid to promote education and support less-privileged students in Kogi State, the Nigerians Unite for Tinubu/Shettima, NUFTS, has procured about 1,200 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, forms for students in the three senatorial districts of the state.
The forms which were distributed through the “RTA JAMB Support” initiative of the group, aimed at alleviating the financial burden faced by students who aspire to further their education but lack the necessary resources to do so.
In a statement on Wednesday, the RTA Coordinator for Yagba West Local Government Area, who is also a member of NUFTS, expressed appreciation to Dr Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, Honorable Minister of State, Federal Capital Territory, FCT, for supporting the initiative.
In his remarks, the coordinator noted that the gesture was timely, considering the economic challenges faced by many families in the state.
He added that the JAMB forms would go a long way in assisting less-privileged students to gain admission into higher institutions.
Meanwhile, the NUFTS has called on well-meaning individuals and organizations to support the initiative and contribute to the development of education in Kogi state and Nigeria as a whole.
The procurement and distribution of JAMB forms by NUFTS are seen as a laudable initiative that will help to promote education and reduce the financial burden faced by less privileged students in Kogi state.
It is hoped that more individuals and organizations will emulate this gesture and contribute to the development of education in the state and the country at large.
The forms were distributed as follows: 400 forms for students in Kogi West senatorial district, 400 for students in Kogi East and 400 forms for students in Kogi Central senatorial district.

The purpose of the Bort SDK [source] is to make it really easy to collect detailed diagnostics from your entire Android device, from low-level or hardware issues to high-level application crashes, and upload them automatically to Memfault.
This document provides a detailed reference of the SDK, how it works, and how to configure it.
For a detailed guide on how to integrate the Bort SDK into your devices, see the Getting Started guide.
The Bort SDK supports two parallel and complementary data collection systems:
- Bug reports, a diagnostics reporting tool built into AOSP.
- Memfault Caliper, a system designed to precisely specify what diagnostics information to collect on the device for improved performance and privacy.
Below is a summary of the Bort SDK features and the version of the SDK in which they were added.
|Device History Metrics||1.0||3.0|
At a high level, the process of capturing and uploading diagnostics data involves the following components that work together.
The Bort app is a configurable, updatable app that controls the SDK's behavior and contains the SDK's business logic.
When the Bort app has collected diagnostics data, it will enqueue it for upload, which will take place when the relevant constraints are met.
For security reasons, the Bort app is a privileged app. This means that it must be included in your devices' system image, but it can be updated via over-the-air app updates. While over-the-air updates of the Bort app are not required, they allow for easy SDK behaviour changes and updates to incorporate new functionality.
The UsageReporter app is a companion system application that provides a mechanism for the Bort app to collect diagnostics information.
The UsageReporter app provides protected APIs for collecting information using two systems, described in detail below.
First released in Bort 3.0, the Caliper system supports trace; per device and fleet wide metrics collection via the Android batterystats subsystem; and log collection via logcat.
Memfault's Caliper system can be used to precisely specify what diagnostics information to collect on the device. We recommend using this system because it allows for:
- The smallest possible runtime footprint on the device
- Minimal bandwidth and on-device storage
- Fine-grained control over what data and when it's collected
Caliper uses the DropBoxManager API to receive traces and crash data from the operating system.
Metrics are collected using the Batterystats subsystem.
Logs are collected from logcat when issues occur.
For a summary of Caliper's features, see Feature Release History.
When a bug report is
requested by the Bort app, the UsageReporter app invokes invokes the
MemfaultDumpstateRunner to capture the bug report.
This native program is exposed as an "init.rc service" (see
for details). This is so that it can be executed in the required
security context, but get triggered by the Bort app, via the UsageReporter
system app. The Bort app runs in the much less capable security context compared
/system/bin/dumpstate(through another init.rc service,
- copy the bugreport.zip file out of the shell file system sandbox and into Bort's file system sandbox,
- broadcast an Intent with the final path such that Bort can process it further.
MemfaultDumpstateRunner to do all the things it needs to do, it is
labelled with the existing/builtin
dumpstate sepolicy label and is broadened a
little further as well (see
memfault_dumpstate_runner.te). It's possible to
make a tail-made policy that is narrower in scope but this requires more changes
to the builtin AOSP system/sepolicy, so we choose to piggy-back on the existing
dumpstate type instead. This is also the approach that the AOSP Car product
(Android Auto) takes. See
sepolicy/file_contexts for reference.
This is the AOSP-built-in Bug Report capturing program; it requires no modification.
The Bort SDK provides an optional patch so dumpstate can run in its default behavior, but also in a "minimal" mode. See Minimal Mode below for more information.
Note that it is not triggered through the builtin
dumpstatez init.rc service,
but through the slightly specialized
memfault_init.rc for details on the differences.
The Bort SDK contains an Over The Air settings system so that settings are defined on the web in your Memfault project, and the SDK will periodically pull the latest settings at run-time. This makes it easy to enable or disable different data sources, or change configuration options. Settings can be updated through the web UI or programmatically via a web endpoint -- no need to deploy an app or OS update.
The settings can be found in the
Settings part of the web UI. SDK settings are
only visible to and configurable by project administrators.
As part of the build process, the Bort SDK will fetch the current SDK settings
and store them as a file called
settings.json. We recommend storing this file
in your version control system. The Bort SDK embeds this file as fallback SDK
settings, used temporarily until fresh settings are retrieved from the web, at
If, during the build process, the Bort SDK detects the local
stale, the build will intentionally fail to alert you that the default settings
are out of date. To fix this, remove the stale
settings.json file and re-run
If you wish to disable this check, you can skip this step when building the Bort APK by setting a gradle property:
The bort app periodically generates bug reports by scheduling a periodic task to
The bort app registers a handler (broadcast receiver) for the system boot event as well as when the app itself is updated or installed. When either of these happens, the app will register the periodic task if one is not registered.
There are configuration options to set the period of this task as well as the initial delay for when the first bug report is generated (e.g. if you wish to wait until more data is available). See SDK settings.
Bug reports can also be triggered programmatically via an
Memfault provides the option to capture "minimal" bug reports. These collect the data required for Memfault diagnostics while being roughly 5x smaller and requiring 10x less load on the system. If system load or bandwidth are concerns for your deployment, we recommend using minimal mode.
If you do not have those constraints and would like to download the bug reports from Memfault to look at deeper diagnostics information, we recommend disabling minimal mode and capturing "full" bug reports.
Enable "minimal" mode via the SDK settings.
In addition to generating bug reports at regular intervals, you may also wish to capture a bug report if a significant event occurs. Doing this will not affect the scheduled bug reports.
Note that if the dumpstate runner is busy capturing a bug report already, the in-flight bug report will continue and the interrupting request will be ignored.
Triggering a bug report requires that the sender hold the permission specified
BORT_CONTROL_PERMISSION property in
bort.properties. The default is
An optional ID can be provided via the string extra
com.memfault.intent.extra.BUG_REPORT_REQUEST_ID. When provided, the
dumpstate.memfault.requestid system property is set to this value. The value
can be any string of up to 40 ASCII characters.
BroadcastReceiver can be implemented to handle the status reply
that Bort sends in response to a bug report request. Replies are sent using
targeted Intent broadcasts. They are only sent when the
com.memfault.intent.extra.BUG_REPORT_REQUEST_REPLY_RECEIVER extra is set to
com.package.id/qualified.class.name of the
To register a receiver class called
this to your
The code to handle the reply Intent would look like something along these lines:
If you wish to generate a bug report using the SDK on a development device over
bort_cli.py provides a convenience command:
By default, the SDK assumes it is running on a device that may contain Personally Identifiable Information (PII). As such, it will not run until it is explicitly told to do so (e.g. when user consent has been obtained). Once enabled, that value will be persisted in preferences. If the bort app's data is cleared, this value must be set again.
To enable the SDK, send an intent to the
ControlReceiver. Note that the sender
must hold the permission specified in the
bort.properties. The default is

as privileged apps on the system image (

To disable the SDK, for example if the user later revokes consent, simply send the same intent with the opposite boolean extra
If the SDK is running on a device that does not require user consent, this
requirement can be disabled by changing a property in
If you wish to enable the SDK on a development device over ADB,
provides a convenience command:
enable-bort command runs this ADB command under the hood:
It is possible to customize which values to use as the Software Version, Hardware Version or Device Serial for a given project. For background on software and hardware versions, see Software and Hardware Versions.
The customization is done during the project creation. To change these settings, you must create a new project.
The Bort SDK automatically retrieves these settings during the APK build process so no additional configuration is required.
If you wish to upload bug reports to Memfault via your own server, you can
enable this by providing a custom

The default SDK location is in
vendor/memfault/bort. If you would prefer to
place the SDK at a different location in your source tree, first clone the SDK
to the desired location in the source tree, then find and replace instances of
vendor/memfault/bort with your target directory.
For example, to place the SDK in the
system partition, clone the SDK to
packages/apps/bort then run find and replace (e.g. on BSD/macOS):

Saudi, Dubai tourism stay dynamic
JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia and Dubai have shown particularly positive results in tourism, despite a generally bleak market in the Middle East and North African region as a result of political restiveness.
Tourism sector in both Saudi Arabia and Dubai remained dynamic all throughout, the latest issue of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer showed.
“The sustained optimism shown by the UNWTO Confidence Index is reassuring, especially as we still face many factors which could dampen growth. While global economic prospects indicate an improved second half of the year, UNWTO remains alert to social instability in certain parts of the world, volatile oil prices and concerns over fiscal stability in the US and Europe,” UNWTO Secretary-General Taleb Rifai said.
The Middle East (-7 percent) and North Africa (-11 percent) have been considerably affected by recent developments, the report noted. Yet, within Africa (+2 percent), arrivals to Sub-Saharan Africa (+8 percent) stand out.
UNWTO maintains its forecast for international tourist arrivals in 2011 at between 4 percent and 5 percent, slightly above the long-term average and in line with previous assessments. The developments in the Middle East, North Africa and Japan are not expected to significantly alter the global forecast.
The report noted the marked differences in the confidence levels for different world regions, with experts in the Americas and Europe anticipating the best outcomes. Confidence remains high in Africa, but lower than might have been expected in Asia and the Pacific. Experts in the Middle East are the least optimistic.
Growth in Asia and the Pacific (+5 percent) was in line with the world average, but slightly below previous prospects. Asia, and in particular Northeast Asia, suffered the impact of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan which affected both its inbound and outbound travel as well as intra-regional travel from other markets. International tourist arrivals grew by 4.5 percent in the first four months of 2011, despite new challenges emerging since the beginning of the year, the report further said. According to the latest issue of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, growth was positive in all regions with the exception of the Middle East. Some subregions achieved double-digit growth: South America (+17 percent), South Asia (+14 percent) and South-East Asia (+10 percent).
“Global tourism continues to consolidate the recovery of 2010 despite the impact of recent developments in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as the tragic events in Japan, which are temporarily affecting travel flows to these regions. We should nonetheless remain vigilant as we face other persisting uncertainties such as high unemployment and increased public austerity measures,” Rifai added.
