PUERTO PRÍNCIPE, Haiti – A fire swept through an uncredited orphanage in Haiti led by a Christian group based in Pennsylvania, killing at least 17 children, the social welfare authority said on Friday.
The cause of the fire has not been determined, but an official said investigators are focusing on a lit candle that is used to light during a blackout. The energy shortage is chronic in Haiti, among the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, but it has worsened in recent weeks.
The Pennsylvania group was not authorized to operate the orphanage, said Arielle Jeanty Villedrouin, general director of the Institute for Social Welfare and Research, which oversees social welfare programs and is responsible for issuing accreditations.
"It's a very sad situation," said Villedrouin, who had cited the candle as the main investigative theory.
The orphanage, in a suburb of Port-au-Prince, is run by the Church of Biblical Understanding, a group that describes itself as a small Christian community with a presence in New York, Florida and California along with Pennsylvania, and a participation in Haiti since 1977.
The group did not immediately respond to requests for comments sent to their email address and left a voicemail message at their office in Scranton, Pa. A woman who answered the phone in the group's office in Haiti refused to Comment and did not identify.
By Friday afternoon, dozens of people, including former residents, were on the grounds of the three-story orphanage, its upper floors obscured by smoke. The orphanage staff had been taken to a local police precinct for questioning, while the surviving children had been relocated to another orphanage.
Gardy Charles, 36, who said he had spent 25 years at the orphanage, was one of those who stopped. "The whole country has been raised by this orphanage," he said about the generations of children who had lived there.
According to their On the website, the group opened its first orphanage in Haiti about four decades ago with six children, and now runs two orphanages with about 150 children and supports others with weekly food deliveries. Orphanage residents range from babies to young adults, the group said.
"The most central part of our work in Haiti is to rescue children," the group said on its website. "Sometimes we hear about a seriously ill child during our food distributions, other times, unfortunately, they have been abandoned at our door or in a neighboring area, and occasionally they come through referrals from friends or people who work with us."
The work is funded by donors and commercial operations, according to the group's website.
The orphanage is one of the 754 operating in the country, said Villedrouin, although only 35 of them are accredited by the government. She said authorities have closed 160 uncredited centers in the past five years.
The installation led by the Church of Biblical Understanding, added Mrs. Villedrouin, "should have been closed."
According to The Associated Press, the Church of Biblical Understanding lost accreditation of its orphanages in Haiti several years ago due to unsanitary conditions and overcrowding, along with inadequate training of its staff.
Although these homes are often referred to as orphanages, many of the children who go through them are not technically orphans but are sent there by parents too poor to support them.
In 1985, a judge in Manhattan He ordered the group to stop housing fugitives and other unaccompanied children in their buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn because they had not obtained a license from the state Department of Social Services.
Several months earlier, state officials who visited the buildings had found runaway children living in miserable conditions.
Haiti has suffered problems for a long time with its electricity supply. But a contractual dispute between a private power company and the government has made things worse in recent months, leaving fringes of the capital and the rest of the country in frequent darkness.
The energy emergency is part of a broader political and economic crisis that has ravaged Haiti for almost two years and has included frequent, sometimes violent, street protests calling for the impeachment of President Jovenel Moïse.
The Christian group owns Olde Good Things, an architectural recovery operation with stores in New York City and Los Angeles. Store revenues support the group's work in Haiti, according to the company's website.
Harold Isaac reported from Port-au-Prince and Kirk Semple from Mexico City.

CFS in a nutshell:
The CFS aims to make all fuels cleaner, and includes policies such as adding ethanol to gasoline or requiring more renewable natural gas to be produced from landfills and food waste.CFS regulations for liquid fuels will come out next spring - just in time for the federal election. Solid fuel regs will come into effect in 2020.
While a carbon tax targets the person using the fuel, the CFS is aimed at companies supplying the fuel.
It's difficult to pinpoint what impact the CFS could have since the policy is still being developed, however it could raise gasoline prices by five cents per litre at the pump, according to an estimate by the Alberta government. Natural gas and other energy prices would rise as well.In reality there is no CFS policy as such, at least not yet. It's still being formulated which means it has about the same chance of a stillbirth as electoral reform, especially if Alberta has anything to say about it.
The Alberta government says the CFS could undermine all the work the province has taken to tackle climate change since it could add significant costs for low-income families and trade-exposed industries without any provisions to cushion the blow.
This feels like they are writing off Alberta and we can't have that happen. We're prepared to continue swinging on this one and stand up for what's important in Alberta," said Marg McCuaig-Boyd, Alberta's energy minister.
The CFS will have an impact on all provinces, but especially Alberta.Alberta complains CFS will mean bigger bills for consumers, as much as five cents per litre at the pump for gasoline.
A large oil company would likely see costs rise across the board at every facility it owns. For instance, an oilsands plant would pay more for using natural gas to process its bitumen, a refinery would pay more for natural gas used to separate oil into different fuels and petroleum products, and a company would likely have to buy ethanol to mix with gasoline before it can be sold at the pumps. Across the board, expenses could increase in the oilpatch.
The Alberta government is also watching smaller details of the CFS such as how coal-fired power plants will be impacted. The federal government was considering excluding those power plants from the CFS since those facilities are already being phased out by 2030 under a separate policy. However, the Alberta government is concerned the CFS could be a perverse disincentive for companies to switch from coal to natural gas in power plants, since natural gas would be impacted by the CFS.This sounds ambitious - CFS atop carbon pricing. Unfortunately this prime minister doesn't do 'tough' well and he would have to be tough enough to tame the western producing provinces and the eastern consuming provinces and a disgruntled public - all in an election year.
Any bets? Place your bets. We're giving odds. The fact that next to no effort is being made by the government to inform the public of CFS (or carbon pricing for that matter) to build popular support for the initiative speaks volumes. Without some degree of public acceptance, CFS is just another tax on the working man's pay packet, another cash grab. That's how Trudeau's opponents will sell it and this may go the way of Dion's doomed-from-the-outset, Green Shift programme.
Oh yeah. CFS also won't affect bitumen sales on world markets or the Justin Trudeau Memorial TransMountain Pipeline. Trudeau is concerned about Canadian fossil fuel emissions, not the emissions from Canadian bitumen burned abroad. Sure it all goes up into the same atmosphere but somehow it's not the same, sort of.

We sat down with Holger Kahl, Managing Director of Nobiskrug, ahead of the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show to discuss the shipyard’s unique values – as well as getting some teasers about the company’s new 85-metre that recently entered the yard.
“I would love to tell you all the details but as usual we are not really able to do that,” he said, “but it will be one of the next breathtaking yachts that will appear somewhat a little bit later and will be one of the iconic yachts in the 80-85 metre range which is really a fantastic thing which is coming out.
“I think a lot of people are speaking about that yacht already as being the ‘glass yacht’. What does it mean? There is a lot of glass, a lot of unusual glass, but this is really all I can say.
“As we know, it is our philosophy and we are not a mass builder, we are doing these very, very unique yachts and are happy to do such a project and am looking forward to telling you a little bit more once she is out. It will be amazing.”

CHAMPAIGN — The numbers are out on a COVID-era program meant to help learning at Decatur Public Schools.
The pre-Kindergarten through eighth graders in the DPS 61 Extended Day program had higher attendance, higher reading scores and fewer disciplinary issues than their peers, according to the district.
“Without the program I would not be able to continue working full time as a single parent. Each day they are provided with a light meal, assistance with homework and access to the library to enhance their reading skills,” said parent Ykina Perry.
Decatur’s Extended Day occurs before and after school at 13 elementary and middle schools. It includes tutoring and is free to parents.
But the program is being paid for by federal COVID-19 relief and could go away next year. The deadline to commit the money to contracts is September 2024, and the district believes they can continue to spend it through the rest of the fall.
“I hate to see a program that is proving positive get unfunded,” said Board of Education member Jason Dion.
Superintendent Rochelle Clark said she tentatively expects to continue the program through other grants.
Literacy has been a hot topic in Decatur after a Wall Street Journal editorial last year lambasted District 61’s low reading scores — without context, state and local officials say.

Discover the best drawing pens for artists!
Before you even start making pen and ink artwork, you will need to make two important choices: what kind of pen(s) and paper will you use?
On another page we discuss the best types of paper to use if you are making pen and ink artwork that you plan to sell. On this page, we'll talk about the best brands of artist pens to use if you want to create pen and ink drawings that will stand the test of time.
When choosing a drawing pen, it's best to look for one that is labeled "archival". Archival pens contain inks that won't fade or lighten over time (as long as the artwork is properly handled, stored and displayed).
Archival pens are the best choice for fine artists because you want your drawings to last as long as possible, especially if your artworks will be sold. At the very least you definitely want your art to last a lifetime, preferably for centuries or even millennia! Your art stands a greater chance of long-term survival if the materials you use are archival.
That said, it’s worth noting though that in this digital age, you might not be overly concerned with longevity if your main intention is to scan your artwork to sell as reproductions, rather than sell the originals. In that case, archival pens are a bonus but not a necessity, as long as you’re aware that the ink will likely fade over time (and sometimes quicker than you might think).
Good quality artist pens will meet the following criteria:
- fade-resistant / lightfast
- pigment ink *
* Drawing pens are filled with either pigment ink or dye ink. Artwork created with pigment ink will last longer and retain color better than artwork created with dye ink.
The Best Drawing Pens
Based on the above criteria, here are my top 4 recommended drawing pens for artists. I have used each of these brands so I can vouch for their quality!
I've provided links below to the relevant products so that you can easily find them on Blick Art Materials, my favorite online art supplier. I'm a member of Blick's affiliate program, which means if you make a purchase after clicking on one of these links, I'll receive a small commission (at no extra cost to you). Click here for more info.
Prismacolor Premier Illustration Markers
Prismacolor Premier Illustration Markers are a popular choice when it comes to artist pens.
Although they are labeled as "fine line markers", these Prismacolor markers are actually more like pens than markers. They come in a range of nib sizes, from 005 (the smallest) to 08 (the largest). In addition to black, they are also available in blue, brown, green, orange, purple, red and sepia.
The tips of these artist pens are very durable. In the past I've used other art pens that had nibs that became easily bent if too much pressure was accidentally applied, but I've never had that problem with these Prismacolor artist pens.
Two things I really like about the Prismacolor Premier Fine Line Markers are that:
they don't bleed through the paper
they can achieve excellent line quality
Sakura Pigma Micron Pens
Sakura Pigma Micron Pens are another excellent choice for pen and ink artists.
These pigmented ink artist pens can produce nice smooth lines that dry quickly and won't smudge once dried.
Sakura Pigma Micron Pens are available in 6 sizes, from 005 (the smallest) to 08 (the biggest). They are sold singly and in sets.
They come in a variety of colors in addition to black, such as sepia, blue, blue/black, brown, burgundy, fresh green, green, hunter green, orange, purple, red, rose, royal blue, and yellow.
Staedtler Pigment Liner Sketch Pens
Staedtler Pigment Liner Sketch Pens are another fine choice when it comes to archival artist pens. They are only available in black and come in 4 sizes, from 01 (the smallest) to 07 (the biggest).
Ohuhu Fine Line Drawing Pens
If you would like a pen set that includes more sizes as well as a brush tip, Ohuhu Fine Line Drawing Pens are an excellent option. (As an Amazon affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)
Each set comes with 8 pens that range in size from 0.2mm at the smallest end of the scale to a 1mm bullet tip at the largest end of the scale, plus a pen with a versatile brush tip. The brush tip can be used to create variable line widths and also to fill in large spaces more quickly than the smaller pens. Currently these pens are only available in black, but Ohuhu might add more colors in the future.
I especially enjoy using the Ohuhu Fine Line Drawing pens in conjunction with Ohuhu alcohol markers, because the ink from the pens doesn’t smudge when colored over with the alcohol markers, which makes them great for creating an underdrawing. They also work well when adding details on top of alcohol markers.
The 4 brands of drawing pens mentioned here are amongst the best pre-filled ink pens that artists can buy, and they are relatively inexpensive as well, with each pen usually costing under $2!
If you're not sure about which archival pen to buy, visit your local art supply store where they usually have a pad of test paper next to the pens so you can try them out before you buy.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the House passed H.R. 1644, the “Save the Internet Act,” which included an amendment introduced by Rep. Greg Stanton to help promote accessible and affordable broadband internet service on tribal land.
The Save the Internet Act, if signed into law, would reverse the repeal by President Trump’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of net neutrality protections. The bill outlines three net neutrality principles: no blocking, no throttling and no paid prioritization. It also restores the FCC’s authority to support funding of broadband access and deployment, especially in rural communities.
Stanton’s amendment directs the FCC Chairman to engage with and collect feedback and data from tribal stakeholders and providers of broadband internet to evaluate their access.
“Access to high-speed internet is essential in today’s economy—it’s a key component to our nation’s innovation infrastructure,” Stanton said during his remarks on the House Floor. “Yet on tribal lands across this country, a digital divide exists, and we have to work to close it.”
According to an estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau, only 53 percent of Native Americans living on tribal lands have access to high-speed internet service compared to 82 percent of all households nationally.
A recent report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined how the FCC collects, validates and uses data on broadband availability. It found that the FCC overstates the availability of broadband internet service on tribal lands and that the digital divide is greater than many originally thought. [Source: https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-18-630]
“These overstatements limit FCC and tribal users’ ability to target broadband funding to tribal lands,” the GAO concluded.
The FCC even categorized communities as broadband “accessible” when those areas don’t have the infrastructure needed to connect homes to a service provider’s network.
“Part of the challenge in the lack of reliable data stems from the lack of meaningful consultation and engagement with tribal nations,” Stanton said. “It’s more than just checking a box—it’s important for the FCC to not only listen to tribes, but to actively engage and learn from them.”
Stanton co-sponsored H.R. 1644.

Silent Lucidity has an excellent post on the latest forgery meme put out by R.L. to dismiss the Downing Street memo.
[Excerpt] If the DSM "doesn't say anything" or if it's "old news" then why would anyone go to all the trouble to forge them, knowing the kind of trouble that could bring to the Times, and knowing the serious personal consequences that would be the result of English Libel Law? Hmmm?
Multiple news organizations have authenticated the documents. Smith has stated publicly that he destroyed copies of the documents and returned the originals to protect the source. The originals were not destroyed as erroneously reported in a single AP report. There is good reason to destroy the copies, however, because copy machines can be traced by the pattern of ink dots sprayed on the paper during the copy process.
The Associated Press released excerpts from the memos, including the July 23 memo, on June 18. "The following are excerpts from material in secret Downing Street memos written in 2002. The information, authenticated by a senior British government official, was transcribed from the original documents," the AP wrote.
Officials in both the American and, perhaps more importantly, the British governments have said the "memos" are authentic. If that were not the case, then you can be pretty damned sure that Blair would bring Mr. Smith and the Times to court under British libel laws, which differ quite a bit from U.S. laws.
Blair sits quietly, and so do the British Ministers who are also implicated. They would be, at the very least, publicly threatening lawsuits if they thought these documents were fake.
"In fact, no one involved has disputed the authenticity of the Downing Street memo -- not Blair; not Sir Richard Dearlove, the head of British intelligence who wrote it; not the CIA; not the FBI; not the Defense Department; not the White House. And they've all had seven weeks in which to do so." - CJR
Got it, Rush?
Now, why are they still paying you to be on television and radio?
In addition to these good reasons for believing that the memos are authentic, we have Blair's statement that the memos don't contain anything new. This would be an odd statement to make about forgeries. If someone created a fake memo of a meeting attended by numerous cabinet members, the thing to do would be to simply say that the memo was fake. End of story. What's interesting is that Blair's statement is surprisingly candid. For most of us, the memos indeed don't contain anything "new." We have known for a long time now that the Bush administration cooked intelligence.

The worker’s union of the Philadelphia Museum of Art has authorized a strike. On Tuesday night the union met to vote, and it says 99% voted in favor.
The vote does not mean the union is on strike, nor that it will strike, but the unit has agreed to if necessary during contract negotiations.
The widespread union covering many departments at the museum formed in 2020, and has been negotiating its first contract with management for 22 months. Last Friday, it filed charges against the museum with the National Labor Relations Board.
The union alleges the museum has violated federal labor law, accusing management of replacing full-time staff positions with temporary positions, which reduces the size of the union’s bargaining unit.
“It’s been positions like department assistants. There is a need for these roles beyond the term of the employment for which they’re arguing these positions should be termed,” said union president Adam Rizzo.
Other charges filed against museum management with the NLRB claim the museum is misrepresenting contract negotiations in its internal, all-staff emails.
“We have been working with our attorneys for the last couple of months and have been meticulously documenting behavior from the management team,” said Rizzo. “These are all violations of federal law.”
The museum says it’s “disappointed” with the union’s decision to file an unfair labor practice.
“The museum has been bargaining in good faith with the union, and we remain committed to making progress toward a collective bargaining agreement,” said a museum spokesperson in a statement. “The museum does not agree with the union’s assertions in the filing and looks forward to responding.”
The National Labor relations Board could take months to make a decision regarding the union’s accusations.
“This is an opportunity for us to send a message to senior management to tell them to stop messing with the process and get serious at the bargaining table,” said Rizzo, who described management contract offers as “insulting.”
By the time the NLRB makes a decision, the museum may be under new leadership.
Sasha Suda will begin her role as the museum’s new director and CEO in September. She is a former unionized gallery worker and most recently was leader of the National Gallery of Canada, in Ottawa, which is a unionized museum.
Saturdays just got more interesting.

Jazz Master of the Month: Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers, Jr.
Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers, Jr was a prolific bassist who recorded over one dozen projects as a leader, but has become most widely appreciated as a sideman who performed with John Coltrane, trumpeter Miles Davis and pianist Wynton Kelly.
Chambers was born April 22, 1935 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, and was raised in Detroit, Michigan.
A consistently inspired bassist, Chambers was one of the first Jazz bassists (other than Slam Stewart) to perform beautifully constructed “arco” or bowed bass solos. His emphasis on excellent time keeping and extraordinary melodic sense made him a widely sought-after session musician in the New York area during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.
Chambers played the baritone horn in school parades, and later studied tuba but became slightly disinterested after having to carry those instruments around. He also played baritone sax. His formal bass interest began when he started studying in 1952 with an excellent bassist who was a member of the Detroit Symphony. By the time he was invited to leave Detroit for New York by tenor saxophonist Paul Qunichette and his ensemble, Chambers was an accomplished multi-instrumentalist.
In New York, Chambers began performing with trombonist JJ Johnson, Thad Jones, Barry Harris, Kai Winding, Benny Green and others. He joined the Miles Davis group in 1955 and stayed with the group for almost ten years. His performance on the best selling Jazz recording in history, Miles Davis’s “Kind of Blue,” captures one of Chambers’ classic bass statements: his performance of the opening duet “So What” with pianist Bill Evans has become a jazz band standard immemorial.
Playing on John Coltrane Giant Steps, Oliver Nelsons “Blues & the Abstract Truth, and Thelonious Monks “Brilliant Corners,” further exemplifies the appreciation that other musicians had for Chambers’ musical contributions. John Coltrane fondly called him “Mr. PC”. Drummer Max Roach wrote a drum solo in his honor titled “Five for Paul” and Sonny Rollins affectionately wrote “Paul’s Pal” in his honor.
Chambers’ short 13-year recorded history is one of the most studied in jazz bass history. Chambers appears on over 1,600 album releases. He recorded over 14 albums with John Coltrane alone, further exemplifying his accurate intonation and ability to play a wide range of styles.
Chambers’ fellow musicians have said much in the way of praise for his excellence:
“Paul Chambers was a great genius of the bass. He was incredible, you know. Some of the things he did weren't really touched by anybody. Just things that he could do, nobody really knew what it was he was doing. He was fantastic." — Herbie Hancock
"One of the greatest bass players in jazz. His playing is beyond what I could say about it. The bass is such an important instrument, and has so much to do with a group and (how) a soloist can best function that I feel very fortunate to have had him on my recordings and to have been able to work with him in Miles' band so long." — John Coltrane
“The first guy who was really distinctive to me — when I was 19 or so — was Paul Chambers, who I heard on all those Prestige and Riverside records. There’s an underrated player! He had a way of playing chromatic notes in his bass lines that was just unreal. He would go up into the high register and then skip down, tying it together… He had this great sound, and this great time.” — Charlie Haden
Chambers was hospitalized in 1968 with what was thought to be a severe case of the Hong Kong Flu. Tests revealed that he had Tuberculosis. His organ functions deteriorated sending him into an 18-day coma before his death on January 4, 1969 in New York City. It is believed that his addictions to heroin and alcoholism contributed to his health problems. Four members of the famed Miles Davis Quintet died before the age of 51 and only one (drummer Jimmy Cobb) lived past the age of 65. Chambers was 34 at the time of his death; the first and youngest of the quintet members to pass away. His star shone brightly in a burst of success but flamed out quickly. His music and his influence live on.
Paul Chambers was elected to the Downbeat hall of Fame in 2011 and is also honored in the American Jazz Hall of Fame.

Training workshop for journalists on energy interconnection
Latin America has the conditions to universalize access to energy services and ensure the energy supply that sustains the sustainable economic development of the region, given its wide potential resources. That is why the Regional Program for Energy Security and Climate Change in Latin America (EKLA) of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, together with CONNECTAS and with the support of the City of Knowledge Foundation, held the workshop for journalists: "Electrical Interconnection and its relationship with the Development Agenda in Latin America".
Collaborative and cross-border journalistic work on key issues for development, such as energy interconnection, is one of the challenges facing journalism today. A key part of their success depends on building trust among the members of the work teams, among other variables. The objective of the workshop was to get the participants to expand their knowledge on this subject and from there motivate their interest to the production of stories in depth.
"The importance of this workshop is to generate knowledge and exchange experiences so that the energy sectors are better connected," said Katherine Segura, an expert on energy issues at OLADE. “The workshop allows for a more active and dynamic interaction for journalists, who are the people that are most closely linked to the community and who we must conscientize in a correct way”.
Experts on energy issues in the region conducted the activity and journalists from various Latin American countries participated in it. During the workshop, held at the City of Knowledge Training and Business Center, participants were trained on techniques for in-depth stories and accessed specific knowledge about the potential and challenges of achieving energy interconnection in the region.

Date of Award
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Prof. LAU, Kin Chi
This dissertation seeks to contribute to our understanding of Eurocentrism, Modernity,and their impacts on traditional Chinese cultural formations. It is based on ethnographic research conducted in Shenzhen, South China and Qinghai, West China, and explores the impacts of Chinese modernization on everyday forms of sociality.
I conceive of Eurocentrism foremost as an Ontology, a mode-of-being grounded in a cosmology about the nature of reality and human being-and-becoming in the world. I argue that because Eurocentrism is an ontology predicated on materialism and individualism - “matter” being the basis of reality and the “individual”, the fundamental unit of society, respectively - it was able to manifest materially and to spread by way of coloniality. Its perpetuation was justified by two interrelated premises: that the West in being Modern was the avant-garde of progress and, concomitantly, that the history of the West should be the fate of all humanity. It is on the pretension of being Modernity’s progenitor, along with its corollary of the Modern being Universal, that Eurocentrism was materialized as an ontology throughout the globe. Because of Modernity’s historical imbrication with the West, one cannot speak of Modernity without implicating Eurocentrism and vice versa.
The ideologies of Euro-Modernity have permeated the Chinese social fabric since the colonial encounters of the 19th C. The depth of their penetration renders the desire for Modernity in China today ubiquitous: being modern is verily the mark of progress. But since the Modern is of Eurocentric provenance, involving a certain cultural ontology that was itself the result of a momentous religio-cultural revolution in the West, my research is animated by the following query: How and to what extent has the Eurocentrism implied in Chinese modernity transformed traditional forms of Chinese sociality? My research thus consists of an ethnographic study of contemporary Chinese cultural change, examining Modernity’s impact on the most fundamental aspects of Chinese culture today: its forms of sociality.
My studies in Shenzhen and Qinghai reveal that while much of Chinese life has adopted the standard ideologies and practices of Modernity, rich socio-cultural practices of communality and kinship remain. These practices of sociality are a crucial cultural resource making possible the felicities of everyday Chinese living. They stabilize and sustain Chinese socio-cultural life as it is confronted by the de-culturing effects of Modernity. This insight is noteworthy since it challenges the ubiquitous faith that becoming Modern will yield a better life in some hoped-for future, mostly by material progress. Against this, my findings suggest that the “better” life in China is already attainable in the here-and-now, inhering not in greater material progress but in the nourishment of the relations that have traditionally bound kith and kin. Hence, life’s meaning does not reside in the domain of matter, as per the illusion of Modernity; it is found in the ineffable realm of moral economy and sociality: in the mutuality-of-ourbeing. This insight harbours potential, for if acted upon, offers up all peoples the possibility of a human future beyond the monoculture of Modernism.

Direct Observation of Remanent Magnetic States in Epitaxial fcc Co Small Disks
C Vaz, L Lopez-Diaz, M Klaui, J Bland, T Monchesky, John Unguris, Z Cui
The magnetic nanostructure of epitaxial fcc Co/Cu(001) circular elements (1.7υm in diameter) has been imaged with scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis. The disks are obtained by ultrahigh vacuum deposition of the metal films onto a prepatterned Si(001) substrate. The Si structures are 700 nm high, ensuring that the continuous background film and that of the circular structures are not physically connected. A closed flux configuration (a quadrant configuration) is observed for some of the disks, characteristic of systems with cubic anisotropy. The measured width of the 90° domain wall varies from 70plus or minus}25 nm close to the vortex core, up to 150plus or minus}25 nm at a normalized distance r/rdasymp} 0.625 from the vortex core (where rd is the domain wall length from the vortex core to the disk periphery), i.e., significantly exceeding the bulk domain wall width, and increasing further with increasing distance from the vortex core. Such a wide domain wall is a consequence of the geometrical constraints imposed by the element, thus defining a geometrically constrained domain wall. This view is supported by detailed micromagnetic simulations that also show that the domain wall width increases dramatically with radial position from the disk center.

(The Center Square) – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Republican governor and now Democratic Congressman Charlie Crist sparred Monday night in a lively one-hour debate full of personal attacks and interrupted by raucous audience members interjecting jeers and name-calling.
While DeSantis and Crist presented different views on nearly every issue, DeSantis highlighted Florida’s strong economy and pledged to implement permanent tax cuts if elected to a second term.
In nearly every answer, Crist argued he would fight for “the right of women to choose to have an abortion” or claimed that DeSantis was running for president instead of governor.
When asked about the economy and inflation, Crist blamed DeSantis for the price of gas and utilities, saying inflation in Florida was “unique to any other state” and was “too high under [DeSantis’] leadership.”
DeSantis said Crist “voting with Joe Biden” helped raise prices and record-high inflation burdening Floridians. If Florida’s economy was as he claimed, Americans wouldn’t be leaving other states to move to Florida, he argued.
People “flocking to Florida,” DeSantis said, “would not happen if Charlie had his way.”
He said Crist wrote him a letter in July 2020 “saying you need to shut down the state of Florida, saying you need to force people to shelter in their homes. That would have destroyed the state of Florida, that would have caused our tourism industry to go into the toilet, it would’ve locked out millions of kids from school. I rejected Charlie Crist’s lockdown letter. I kept this state open. I kept this state free and we have the biggest budget surplus in the history of the state of Florida.”
DeSantis also highlighted the record $1 billion in tax cuts he and the legislature passed earlier this year; the gas tax holiday currently in effect; another 50% cut in tolls for commuters, which he plans to extend next year; Florida’s historically low unemployment rate, the second-lowest in state history; and the second-fastest GDP growth in the U.S.
DeSantis also pledged to implement permanent tax cuts next year on a range of items including baby clothes, cribs and wipes, among others “so you can raise kids and get by.” His pledge came after he proposed last month to implement another $1.1 billion in tax cuts.
“We have the fifth-lowest gas prices in the country because we did do a gas tax holiday,” the incumbent governor said. “We’re proud of that. What we’re going to do for Floridians who commute is we’re going to reduce tolls by 50% statewide for all commuters.”
Crist said DeSantis should have implemented the tax cuts earlier in his first year in office, adding, “Aren’t you supposed to be helping us all four years instead of just the last year? You talk about Joe Biden a lot. I understand. You think you’re going to be running against him. I can see how you might get confused, but you’re running for governor.”
DeSantis replied the only Democrat he’d be “looking to put out to pasture is Charlie Crist.”
Pointing to when Crist ran as a Republican candidate for governor, DeSantis said he pledged to keep taxes down. But when he took office he signed a bill into law enacting one of the largest tax increases in state history. Crist replied saying, “So what we need to do on the economy is make sure we’re focused on Florida.”
Crist said DeSantis “keeps talking about the Biden administration this, the Biden administration that. This is the DeSantis administration. And under the DeSantis administration, the middle class is getting crunched in Florida. You can’t get an apartment, you can’t afford a house, you can’t pay your property insurance because he’s taken his eye off the ball over and over.”
According to a RealClear Politics average of polls, DeSantis is leading Crist by 10 points, up several points from last month.

Reading: Ephesians 4:29, Philippians 4:6-7
When you marry someone you take vows to love for better or for worse, in sickness and in health. We automatically assume that this applies only to each other. In reality, although we don’t repeat these vows out loud for all to hear, whenever we come into a genuinely invested relationship, we subconsciously promise these same things.
About 8 months ago, tragedy struck. During those few months, there were many challenging and critical moments. Our niece passed away unexpectedly. She was joy, laughter, passion, and had a smile that could light up any room. Her type of passing leaves a distinctive kind of grief, filled with unanswered questions, and at times immense guilt. This is a topic we don’t openly discuss. It is still quite painful. With pain comes growth and change. This loss has definitely changed our family. The moment we heard of her passing we knew things had to change in our family. We knew that we as parents, friends, and people in general had to change. God revealed things to us through her passing. In these moments God reminded us once again of the importance of our words.
The Holy Spirit revealed in those painful moments of grief and loss that our words can build or break another person’s heart and spirit. What we say is a direct line to our heart, and our heart a direct line to our spirit. He reminded us that He lives in us, and that even in the little moments love should always come first.
He revealed to us that it is always more important to live in the moment, and to do that we must learn to live in Him, which we discover is allowing Him to live in us. Memories are made when we choose to be present. These moments are brief and they will pass quickly. So we savor the opportunity to be present in someone’s life.
A little guy once told me that we need to love people on the good days and the bad. I’ve learned you must love them on the bad, because that is when they needed love the most. Speaking of that little guy, he showed us what loving someone in sickness and in health really looks like. As a family we experienced a moment where time stopped. Our future felt paralyzed for a brief moment. Our energetic, spunky, wild 4 year old was about to battle his own Goliath. At a time where it would have been only natural to let fear and doubt consume you, God came in and scooped us into his mercies before the enemy had a chance to stir our hearts. He placed prayer warriors around us at a time when we felt overwhelmed and at certain moments angry. He gave us family when ours was distant. In those anxious moments He revealed simple truths to us.
Do not be anxious about anything. Pray and be thankful in every situation. Present your needs to God. God’s peace will guard our hearts and minds.
God revealed to us that the only way we were going to get through this season of our life with peace in our hearts was to trust in his plan. We did not need to worry about tomorrow or the weeks to come. He revealed that in some moments and times of turbulence, all you can do is pray. We do not control the bigger picture. We cannot fix everything, but He can.
The most important thing God has revealed to us in these “big life moments” is the impact of love. As a couple we take our vows to each other seriously. As human beings we never really considered these vows in regards to others. God has shown us that being invested in someone’s life means loving with prayer and encouragement. It means being kind before being judgmental. Most importantly, it means being present and appreciating the time you have with them - even on the bad days.

What Is the Visual Cloud?
With visual computing workloads growing at an accelerating pace, cloud service providers (CSPs), communications service providers (CoSPs), and enterprises are rethinking the physical and virtual distribution of compute resources. Visual cloud computing consists of a set of capabilities for remotely consuming content and services that center around the efficient delivery of visual experiences —both live and file-based —as well as applications that add intelligence to video content and tap into machine learning and other artificial intelligence areas, such as object recognition.
Visual Workloads Demand a Modern Edge Infrastructure - A Guide for Enabling the Visual Cloud
Emerging visual cloud workloads will demand highly evolved data centers and edge networks. Providers need resilient, scalable infrastructures and the right combination of modern hardware, advanced software, and optimized open source components. Read this guide to help determine the right portfolio that meets your needs.
The Open Visual Cloud
To help strengthen the ecosystem and provide ready access to the building blocks and pipelines for cost-effective Visual Cloud innovations, Intel is providing reference pipeline recipes for Visual Cloud services using existing open source functions from Intel in an open source project called the Open Visual Cloud. The Open Visual Cloud provides availability of high performance, high quality, open source, validated building blocks—across encode, decode, inference, and rendering — as well as reference pipelines that support visual cloud workloads. The goal is to minimize barriers to innovation for quickly and easily creating and monetizing Visual Cloud services. Support for familiar industry standard frameworks leverage the larger open source community and include media (FFMPEG and GStreamer), AI (TensorFlow*, Caffe*, MXNet*, ONNX*, Kaldi*), and graphics (OpenGL, DirectX).

Cloud-based media processing and delivery demands in response to escalating video traffic across wired and wireless channels have become a vitally important service capability for CSPs, CoSPs, and Enterprises. The predominant use cases involving media workloads are live streaming, broadcast media, and over-the-top (OTT) media. The new Intel® Server GPU is ideal for high-density media transcode/encode for real-time over the top (OTT) video streaming. The Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX-512), makes it possible to accelerate high-quality video transcoding and streaming. Demanding tasks that are vital to a Visual Cloud environment gain performance boosts, including media analytics, video data encoding and decoding, digital content creation, 3D modeling and simulation, and visualization. Additional microarchitecture and instruction sets to drastically enhance visual cloud capabilities, like VNNI (Vector Neural Network Instructions) that improves performance of operations used in deep neural networks.
Content Delivery Network
Today the media and entertainment industry expects more from their CDNs than just simple caching. The industry is transitioning to higher throughput, more complex use cases, and more frequent peaks in traffic. Service providers must have clear indication if performance issues arise and visibility into the overall infrastructure functions. Accomplishing this successfully requires performing many operations in real time: extracting and responding to data analytics, performing load balancing across the network as needed, detecting and correcting faults promptly, and predicting levels of demand as conditions change. The future of CDN from Lumen (CenturyLink) was explored at the Network and Edge Virtual Summit and Rakuten at IBC 2020.
Media analytics performed on live media or distributed video streams can help service providers, content aggregators, and content delivery networks better understand the nature of the visual content and derive useful intelligence from it. By incorporating building blocks from the Open Visual Cloud, like key components of the OpenVINO™ toolkit and Scalable Video Technology, sophisticated media analytics applications can perform functions from surveying traffic patterns in a smart city to customized ad insertion and more. With billions of pieces of visual content exchanged daily, the market opportunities are expansive for creating new, useful services and adding features, and capabilities to existing services.
Innovation in AR and VR solutions is changing the way that human beings interact with the world. These technologies are also inspiring innovators to introduce new products, services, and business models into the visual cloud market, creating opportunities for CSPs, CoSPs, and broadcast companies. Advanced immersive media applications are just beginning to gain traction in the industry, such as 360-degree live streaming, AR-guided service procedures, immersive entertainment experiences, and VR enhanced location-based experiences. Recent advances in moving Visual Cloud workloads to the network edge are providing for more quality experiences by addressing the bandwidth concerns and latency issues that have been a challenge for many immersive media deployments.
People can work collaboratively across 3D graphics applications remotely. With applications from Citrix, Microsoft and VMware, complex renderings, and visualizations can be handled by high-performance servers in a virtualized environment so remote desktop or remote rendering workloads can be adjusted dynamically to meet requirements. Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with the Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit (Render Kit) (part of the Open Visual Cloud) provide powerful and flexible CPU-based raytracing used extensively by professional Hollywood studios and the scientific visualization community.
On-line gaming is moving to a cloud streaming model just like music, movies, and TV shows. The burgeoning growth of online games represents additional revenue with white-label software allowing operators to brand, offer, and monetize an OTT-like service to their subscribers and target casual gamers at home. The new Intel® Server GPU is ideally suited for high-density, low-latency Android cloud gaming.

On April 29, 13 internet platform providers involved in finance services were summoned to a meeting with regulators in Beijing, the latest in a series of meetings aimed at tightening control over the country’s homegrown internet giants.
Tencent Holdings Ltd., the operator of WeChat, and Meituan, the on-demand delivery giant, are among the tech companies that offer financial services such as personal loans and insurance policies through their mobile apps.
After its representatives were summoned to a meeting with the regime’s regulators earlier this month, Ant Group, the financial wing of e-commerce giant Alibaba, confirmed that it would transform into a financial holding company overseen by China’s central bank.
The case of Ant’s group served as a cautionary note, but other financial platforms are still waiting to see what happens, according to state-run media Xinhua News.
According to a statement issued by four regulators, the People’s Bank of China, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, companies were told to proactively restructure their financial wings as holding companies subject to more rigorous supervision and obtain licenses before launching financial services.
Meanwhile, Reuters reported on April 29 that Tencent could face a $1.5 billion fine for its monopolistic practices and failure to properly report acquisitions and investments for antitrust reviews.
Another regulator, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR), imposed a record $2.8 billion fine on Alibaba’s Ant Group on April 10, claiming anti-competitive behavior.
Meituan shares fell 3.6 percent and Tencent shares fell 1.8 percent in Hong Kong on Friday.
According to Lu Zhenning, a sociology scholar at Zhejiang University, the meeting indicates that the authorities have a systematic plan to rein in large private firms.
“It is entirely possible that [the regime] will convert them into state-owned enterprises as the next step.” The state will buy its shares and even become a controlling shareholder, “Lu warned.
The SAMR summoned 34 major internet companies to a meeting in Beijing on April 13 and gave them one month to correct monopolistic practices.

Flying-Fox Species Density - A Spatial Risk Factor for Hendra Virus Infection in Horses in Eastern Australia
MetadataShow full item record
Hendra virus causes sporadic but typically fatal infection in horses and humans in eastern Australia. Fruit-bats of the genus Pteropus (commonly known as flying-foxes) are the natural host of the virus, and the putative source of infection in horses; infected horses are the source of human infection. Effective treatment is lacking in both horses and humans, and notwithstanding the recent availability of a vaccine for horses, exposure risk mitigation remains an important infection control strategy. This study sought to inform risk mitigation by identifying spatial and environmental risk factors for equine infection using multiple analytical approaches to investigate the relationship between plausible variables and reported Hendra virus infection in horses. Spatial autocorrelation (Global Moran’s I) showed significant clustering of equine cases at a distance of 40 km, a distance consistent with the foraging ‘footprint’ of a flying-fox roost, suggesting the latter as a biologically plausible basis for the clustering. Getis-Ord Gi* analysis identified multiple equine infection hot spots along the eastern Australia coast from far north Queensland to central New South Wales, with the largest extending for nearly 300 km from southern Queensland to northern New South Wales. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) showed the density of P. alecto and P. conspicillatus to have the strongest positive correlation with equine case locations, suggesting these species are more likely a source of infection of Hendra virus for horses than P. poliocephalus or P. scapulatus. The density of horses, climate variables and vegetation variables were not found to be a significant risk factors, but the residuals from the GWR suggest that additional unidentified risk factors exist at the property level. Further investigations and comparisons between case and control properties are needed to identify these local risk factors.
