Sports News of Friday, 4 December 2015
Ebusua Dwarfs chief Nana Aidoo has ordered for the immediate suspension of the side’s pre-season activities due to the uncertain start of the Ghana Premier League.
Dwarfs who have secured a return to the Ghanaian top flight after winning their zone in the second tier league have commenced training weeks ago in anticipation of the start of the Ghanaian top flight at the tentative date of December 20.
But with legal challenges raised over the qualification of Dreams FC and Techiman City FC, this tentative start date for the league is highly unlikely.
And the Dwarfs chief feels the uncertain start of the league is draining scarce resources into indefinite pre-season activities and have thus called for its suspension.
“Since we don’t know the start of the league, we are unable to plan our pre-season activities.”

Redheads really do suffer more than blondes and brunettes. It takes a fifth more anaesthetic to stop them feeling pain, Edwin Liem of the Outcomes Research Institute in Louisville, Kentucky, found when he looked at how much desflurane it took to stop blonde, brunette and redheaded women responding to "painful stimuli". Liem says there is an explanation. Skin and hair cells have surface receptors that regulate pigmentation. These molecules are less sensitive in redheads, so they produce more of the hormone that activates the receptor. But the same hormone also activates a brain receptor that increases sensitivity to pain.

- Ram Gopal Varma all praise for Mohanlal’s ‘Kanupapa’
Veteran Indian filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma was all praise for Mohanlal’s performance in the movie, ‘Kanupapa’ recently. The film, which was the Telugu version of the actor’s super hit Malayalam film, ‘Oppam’ was directed by Priyadarshan. Lavishing praise on our Lalettan for excelling in his role, Varma also mentioned that other stars should stop doing the routine acts and follow Mohanlal. RGV took to his social networking account and wrote: "What some stars could not achieve in Tollywood, MohanLal Garu did that with just 3 movies. #Kanupapa is a brilliant movie, must watch. ….Atlas after watching #Kanupapa all the big Stars & Directors should stop doing same old routine formula movies. My Sincere to MohanLal (sic)" Kanupapa is a crime thriller in which Mohanlal plays a blind man, while Anushree Nair, Samuthirakani, Vimala Raman and Baby Meenakshi appear in other significant roles.
- Malashree to nurture new talent in film
Imran Sardhariya is following up his directorial debut ' the romantic thriller Endendigu, which starred Krishna Ajai Rao and Radhika Pandit ' with Uppu Hulli Khara, which goes on the floors today. This project will be a marked departure from Imran's first film for two reasons ' it will have an ensemble cast comprising mostly newbies and will be a dark comedy. 'The cast features Anushree, who was last seen in Ringmaster, opposite newbie Sharath. The other pairs are Jayashree from Big Boss Season 3 and Shashi, who plays the lead in the TV serial Om Shakti Om Shanti, along with Dhananjay, who's been a dancer for the past 12 years, and Masha, who is from Ukraine,' reveals Imran, adding, 'The soul of the film will be Malashree. The film begins and ends with her.' When asked how exactly the movie is a dark comedy, Imran says, 'The film is a tragedy for the actors, but a comedy for the viewers. It's about three guys who plan to do a bad thing to become famous, how it actually turns out to be a good thing, and how they really do become famous in the process.' The film will be shot in Bengaluru in places like Malleswaram, Chamrajpet and Rajajinagar. 'We want to showcase these places in a manner that hasn't been done in a long time. We want to get an authentic feel of these areas and use real locations and real crowds,' says Imran.

There are about 3,000 Kenyans stuck in Sudan following a war break out in the country, Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Dr Alfred Mutua has revealed.
Mutua said that the government is in communication with national carrier Kenya Airways (KQ) in a bid to try and evacuate them "once things cool off".
"We have almost three thousand Kenyans stuck in Sudan. We are in communication with KQ, and once things cool off, we will bring the Kenyans back here. I advise Kenyans in foreign countries to register with the embassies. That way, we can easily contact them," Mutua said.
On Saturday, clashes erupted between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group.
It’s not yet clear what triggered the fighting, but tensions have been high in Sudan following a stand-off between the two factions.
Sudan has been in political turmoil since Gen Burhan led the military in toppling a civilian government in October 2021.
Sudan, once the largest and one of the most geographically diverse states in Africa, split into two countries in July 2011 after the people of the south voted for independence.
On Saturday, KQ suspended flights to Khartoum with their communications team saying passengers would be advised as the situation which is being monitored unfolds.

A soft silvery colored metal that rapidly oxidizes to a dark grey.
Ocassionaly found in nature in its pure form and was known to the ancients.
When people think of heavy things they often thing of lead.
This is ingrained in our society, even among engineers and people that should know better.
There are recomendations for making power hammer rams from tubing filled with lead.
This is one lead use in our community that I address repeatedly.
Use of lead for this purpose is needless and wrong thinking.
Lead is only 40% denser than steel therefore it only requires 40% more steel to make the same mass and radiation shielding as lead.
Lead is soft and cannot support itself in many cases.
Steel can support itself plus much additional load.
Lead is expensive to buy and lead scrap is usually more valuable than steel.
Lead is toxic and transfers to the body by simple contact while steel is nontoxic.
One should wash their hands carefully after handling lead.
Lead poisioning is cumulative over a lifetime.
The only advantages lead has over steel is its softness and low melting point, thus ease of castability.
Due to its toxicity lead is no longer used in many cases including where a soft surface is needed.
Tin alloys have replaced lead where a low temperature melting point is needed such as in solder and pewter.
While there are some places using lead is almost unavoidable, most uses can and should be avoided.
If you need to fill that tubular ram with something then use steel rods and weld them in place.
Simple, easy, non-toxic.
A few decades ago lead was used for a great many things in the shop.
It was used for soft work surfaces by file makers, for backing up detailed repousse' and forming hollow vessles.
Lead was used for bending tubing and soft hammers.
Lead was common in solders of many types including that used for both plumbing and electrical work as well as craft work.
Lead is often a major constituant of bearing babbit.
Lead was added to pewter to make it chaeper and thus much old pewter is good only for decorative purposes, not servring food.
Melted lead baths were used for heat treating and lead is still used in plumbing drain pipes.
Lead white (paint) was also a good high pressure lubricant and was used to lubricate lathe centers. . .
Lead has also been added to both steel and brasses to make them machine more easily.
Today, a few lead spills from casting swept out the door can get your soil tested as high lead and make your property impossible to sell unless cleaned up to meet the EPA's satisfaction. It happens. . .
Lead oxide was also used heavily in paint because it atabilized the oil and made colors UV resistant.
Leaded paints lasted longer without cracking.
Chinese paint makers still insist on lead because of the brighter colors and thus the repeated discoveries of lead in imported children's toys.
Tetra Ethyl lead was used in gasoline to raise its octane thus reduce engine knock and valve clatter. This lead to the brand name and common usage of "Ethyl" for the better "new" gasolines with lead. "Fill 'er up with Ethyl". Almosat all gasoline had lead added to it, the more the higher the octane and price. Despite adolescence logic high octane gasoline burns SLOWER then low octane gasoline. . .
The combination of aging paint and automobile fumes but a large amount of fine lead into our environment and people started to study its effects on humans, particularly children. Despite the sources of lead it was clearly proven that lead slowed early development to the point of retardation in some children. When scientists discovered lead from gasoline in what was thought to be the pristine environment of Antarctica that was the straw that broke the Camels back. It was everywhere! It was toxic and it could make our children retarded. . .
Some of the worse cases of lead retardation was in the children of lead workers who came home with fine lead dust in their hair and on their skin and clothes. Other cases were largely inner city and were believed to be due to crumbling lead paint in old houses and apartments. It was found in these buildings and in the soils in the neighborhoods.
So lead rose in prominence as an environmental pollutant to remove from the environment at all costs. Paint was the first target and over the years lead was removed from paint for children's toys and furniture, to house paint and eventually to almost all paint used in the U.S.
Then lead had to be removed from gasoline. This was somewhat of a problem because modern high compression automobile engines needed high octane fuel to run properly. AND while there was natural high octane gasoline (such as the "white" gasoline sold by Texaco) cheaper grades of gasoline could be made to perform by the simple addition of tetra ethyl lead. Removing the lead was a long hard battle between the auto companies (didn't want to do it), the oil companies (didn't want to do it) and the vocal environmental consumer (so called tree huggers) and the U.S. Congress. Congress and the tree huggers won. . .
Lead has continued to be taken out of more and more products both to remove the lead from the manufacturing workplace as well as the consumer environment. Lead shot is no longer used in hunting ammunition and lead is no longer used to make free machining steels (great stuff).
Lead is still being used for a great many things but if it can be phased out, it will be.
I am surprised that lead fishing weights and lures are still allowed.
Have we gone too far? It is hard to tell. On the whole the public tends to be quite reactionary about such things and then unreasonable fears set in. . .
But there was an interesting study done that has failed get hardly anyone's attention.
Folks studying lead in soils where children were found to have high lead levels discovered an interesting fact.
If you took two identical neighborhoods with the same age structures, the same paints used and general maintenance, one neighborhood could be much lower in lead and children tested there have very low levels of lead compared to other neighborhoods where the levels were the highest. It was NOT the paint. City lots could be tested that never had painted structures on them and the lead levels were almost as high as lots where old houses with lead paint had been scraped and painted over and over again.
It was the proximity to major highways, particularly those big interchanges that were often built over and through many city neighborhoods AND occasionally to old industry such as foundries.
When lead content in soils was plotted on a map it created a perfect road map with highlighted traffic concentrations and an occasional isolated spot where an industry was located.
Should we still use lead in the shop?
I would say, as little as possible and to avoid it at all costs if you have a pregnant female or children in the house.
I would not panic about occasional use of lead solder or a lead hammer.
But any process where you melt quantities of lead should be avoided or kept to a minimum, especially in environments where young children might be present.
This includes working with lead such as casting then going home to young children.
Note that we have had several warnings about melting lead.
When melted at a just pourable temperature it is OK.
But you can overheat lead and create lead fumes that are very toxic which can result in heavy metal poisoning.
- guru (webmaster/editor)
I will weigh in on Lead (PTree).
My background, I have been certified as a Lead inspector and lead risk assesor.
The Guru is very right about mental retardation in children.
It appears from the studies the effects are most severe at ages under 6 years.
Lead is a cumulative toxin, and a risk to all. Once you have your body loaded to the point of health problems, there is not much way to get the lead out, short of chealation therapy, and that has risks and bad times associated with it.
A source not often mentioned for lead in the household is PVC plastic.
Lead and lead acetate is added to PVC as a molding agent.
That film you see on those miniblinds that have been hanging in the sunny window for years? Mostly lead.
Gasoline was indeed one of the main sources of lead in the environment.
Tetra ethyl lead was discovered in the late 20's and early 30's in a trial and error program to stop detonation in Presto-Light Kerosene generator sets. The testing was done at the Dayton electric Labs (DELCO later).
Oddly the first thought was that the Rommanian Petrols, dyed Red were better due somehow to the color slowing the flame propogation. So they tested every dye known and many other chemicals. The standard gasoline used before the Lead had a natural octane rating of US gas about 30-40, and required very low compression ratio's. In WWII Hundreds of millions of gallons of Leaded 115/145 octane gas was burned in aircraft. The tetra ethyl retards the speed of the flame propogation and thus reduces detonation. ( The allies got about exactly double the Hp from the same displacement compared to the Axis, due to the 115/145 octane)
About the only leaded gas sold in the US is 100 Octane LL for Low Lead used in aviation.
Much lower lead levels, and since the military and airlines, the big users now burn kerosene, the issue is much reduced.
Metalic lead sitting there is really not much of an issue.
Lead Fume, that is vaporized lead that appears as smoke and is really vapor droplets that have cooled and solidified but are fine enough to be aerosols are big problem.
Lead solder? Not unless you work with it every day.
Lead from chalking paint, or PVC that is chalking?
Big problem if it gets in the body.
In undesturbed soil not a big risk.
Let kids run in it and destroy the grass, or dig play holes etc? big problem.
The primary risk from lead is if you ingest it, either from inhalling fine dust or eating it.
Kids, especially tots have the instant hand to mouth thing.
Another developing issue is that many studies are linking viloent offender youth to lead exposure in the under 6 ages.
One last tidbit, The lead researcher on the tetra ethyl lead project became quite rich as a founding member of the Ethyl Corp. and continued to work as a researcher. He was the same guy that discovered/developed Freon for Dupont, two wonderful answers to industrial needs that ended up have disasterous results for the environment in the long run. I think Harold Midgley had died before the problems were discovered.

A few years ago I saw an amzing antique toy. It was a small Bunsen burner, a bunch of small toy molds (like cowboys, indians, horses) and a small crucible for melting lead pellets. The whole set up was old, rusty and obviously well used. I was amazed because this was a childrens toy, meaning kids were bored at home (no TV, maybe some crappy radio programs and "grown up" books) and playing with toxic material, changing its state and inhaling copious amounts of lead oxides.
And America has a problem with minute amounts of lead paint on a fake hamster toy?
- Nippulini - Friday, 03/26/10 10:28:55 EDT
Nip, My brother and I had one of those sets. It was very satisfying casting the soldiers and then playing with them. We also used to rub mercury on pennies. I've made it to 76 and still going strong with no ill effects.
Carver Jake - Friday, 03/26/10 10:52:09 EDT
I used to make fishing lures (Pro-Line if any of you have used them).
When the Lead was at the correct temperature there was no problem as the OSHA approved ventilation was more then adequate.
The guys that did the pouring and molding wanted to get their numbers up.
They turned up the heat on the Lead allowing them to pour an extra mold per casting cycle.
This caused a heavy gas that OSHA simply called Lead Vapor.
This resulted in four of our workers ending up in the hospital being treated for heavy metal poisoning.
All but one fully recovered.
My friend Alex Mendoza now suffers extreme daily headaches, joint pain, and memory problems.
He also has had a major change in his overall demeanor and is now easily irritated at/by people, objects and situations.
He is now disabled and has not been able to hold even a part time job to help make ends meet.
This same issue happened to another friend but not as severe.
He works on high performance wheels.
He was heating a specialy made wheel to change the bead angle when he "suddenly smelt something funny, got dizzy and dropped to the ground."
The hospital stated that it was heavy metal poisoning caused by Lead.
After hearing this his boss inspected the wheels and found that Lead was used to fill and weight the bead.
He had massive headaches for almost six months afterwards.
Please be careful around Lead especially when melting or casting.
OSHA approved ventilation is not sufficient if lead vaporizes. This can cause serious and permanent health problems.
Arron Cissell- Thursday, 06/02/05 19:08:34 EDT
Heating, melting or torching lead indoors should never be done except if there is an industrial ventilation and filtering equipment installed in order to pull the fumes out.
Such activity is probably illegal in most places.
Lead poisoning does serious damage to the lungs, central nervous system, and skin. children are even more sensitive.
Their I.Q. drops in a direct proportion to the amount inhaled and ingested.
Lead is absorbed by the body (stored in fats) and little of it is shed.
In other words, lead collects in our bodies after each exposure.
Accumulated body lead can be pulled out of the body by treatment with chelating chemicals such as E.D.T.A. (ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid for any other fussy chemists on the website).
Hopefully, the treatment should be started before much damage has been done to the patient.
But chelation treatments are very unpleasant.
Lead can be detected by blood tests.
A doctor, can detect ingested lead by looking for a "lead line" seen in the gums, if he suspects lead poisoning.
Lead poisoning is serious stuff.
Please permit me to relate the following story (anecdote).
The well-known American landscape artist Emil Gruppé writes that several of his artist friends had to stop oil painting after being poisoned by lead.
Flake white, a lovely white oil colour is made from lead carboate.
His friends (several of them), regularly soaped their brushes in the palm of their hands after cleaning them with turpentine or naphtha.
He describes how one painter's skin had turned dark metallic.
He died two years later. (yes, lead can go through the skin and get into the blood stream.)
Those artists, from the first three or four decades, of the previous century just past, did not know about the poisonous consequences of lead ingestion.
Today, artist and artisans (in my case metal basher) have no excuse.
Please let me summerise the previous long-winded, melodramatic prose. DO NOT MESS WITH LEAD FUMES.
it's not worth it.
Regards and live long, and well.

New lead law,
Beginning in April (2010), everyone remodeling a house built before 1975, will have to use lead safe practices.Hanging plastic is the least. Extensive remodeling requires moving out. Replacing 1 window will cost aprox. 100. extra.

12L14 is hot short - it will give off lead fumes while being reheated for forging.
In addition to the lead it intentionally contains a high level of sulfur to make it easier to machine (Another reason it's hot short).
Personally, I'd avoid it like the plague, unless I was doing some sort of screw machine work.
But then, I'm just a metallurgist who was working on alternatives to lead in free-machining bar stock in 1980. :)

Lead makes the material, known as 12L14, easy to drill and cut, but its presence also requires that steelmakers follow strict safety measures to ensure that lead fumes and dust don’t endanger workers or pollute the environment. Chips and scraps cut from 12L14 steel parts contain lead and must be handled in a special way.
According the Science News 1999 tin is replacing lead in free machining steels.
Other than the above article and many notices of the patent on the tin bearing steel I could not find more information. So its available, but possibly only if you are a large buyer. 12L14 is still being sold.
One of the shops we dealt with in the 1980's that did some heavy machining for us had sources of heavy flame cut plate in free machining (leaded) steel. Apparently that is no longer available. Matweb also listed a narrow range of sizes for the material.
There is a definite push to get the lead out of steel but until the patent runs out on the tin steel replacement I doubt that it will be very popular.

I recently read an interesting CSCW 2008 paper by Wendy Ju: Range: Exploring Implicit Interaction through Electronic Whiteboard Design. She describes a framework for implicit interaction and applies it to the design of an interactive whiteboard application called Range.
The paper is situated in the field of ubiquitous computing. The goal of Mark Weiser‘s vision of ubiquitous computing was calm computing, where calm reflects the desired state of mind of the user. Invisibility in ubicomp is more about enabling seamless accomplishment of task than staying beneath notice. Just as a good, well-balanced hammer “disappears” in the hands of a carpenter and allows him or her to concentrate on the big picture, computers should participate in a similar magic disappearing act. Calm computing moves between the center and the periphery of attention. The periphery informs without overwhelming the user, but the user can still move to the center to get control. The implicit interaction framework presented in this paper contributes to how calm computing can be effectively realized. It allows to reason about the way users can mitigate actions the system takes, and is a good complement to Eric Horvitz’s work on mixed-initiative interaction.
Implicit interactions enable communication and action without explicit input or output.One way that an action can be implicit is if the exchange occurs outside the attentional foreground of the user (e.g. auto-saving files, filtering spam, and ubicomp interaction). The other way is if the exchange is initiated by the computer system rather than by the user (e.g. an email alert, screen saver, etc.). Although it may seem strange that something that grabs attention is implicit, the key factor is that the interaction is based on an implied demand for information or action, not an explicit one.
The implicit interaction framework divides the space of possible interactions along the axes of attentional demand and initiative:
Attentional demand is the degree of cognitive and perceptual load imposed on the user by the interactive system. Foreground interactions require a greater degree of focus, concentration and consciousness and are exclusive of other focal targets. Background interactions are peripheral, have less demand and can occur in parallel with other interactions.
Initiative is an indicator of how much presumption the interactive system uses in the interaction. Interactions that are initiated and driven by the user explicitly are called reactive interactions, while interactions initiated by the system based on inferred desire or demand are proactive interactions.
The implicit interaction framework builds on Bill Buxton’s background/foreground model. Buxton’s model assumes attention and initiative are inherently linked. On the contrary, this framework decouples attention and initiative in two separate axes. Buxton’s foreground corresponds to the reactive/foregound quadrant, while his background corresponds to the proactive/background quadrant.
An example: a word processing program that …
- auto-saves because you command it to is situated in the reactive/foreground quadrant
- auto-saves because you have set it to do so every 10 minutes is situated in the reactive/background quadrant
- auto-saves because it feels that a lot of changes have been made is situated in the proactive/background quadrant
Being proactive means the word processing program is acting with greater presumption with respect to the needs and desires of the user.
Designers can manipulate the proactivity and reactivity by (1) dictating the order of actions (does the system act first or wait for the user to act?); or by (2) choosing the degree of initiative (does the sytem act, offer to act, ask if it should act, or merely indicate that it can act?); or by (3) gathering more data to ensure the certainty of the need for an action or when they design features to mitigate the potential cost of error for the action. Even in the reactive realm, the degree of initiative can vary based on the amount that the user needs to maintain ongoing control and oversight of an action in progress.
Ju discusses 3 implicit interaction techniques:
- user reflection
- system demonstration
User reflection is how the system indicates what it feels the users are doing or would like to have done.
A good example are modern spell-checking programs. Early versions had to be invoked explicitly, and engaged the user in an explicit dialog about potentially misspelled words to repair. Current spell-checking programs run continuously in the background allowing users to more easily notice potential errors. The implicit alert of this interaction is far more seamless than that of earlier spell-check programs. A similar example is the continous compilation used by modern IDEs such as Eclipse and Visual Studio. Earlier programs only showed compile errors when the user explicitly activated the compile command.
System demonstration is how the system shows the user what it is doing or what it is going to do.
In Range, the whiteboard animates its transition from ambient display mode (where it displays a set of images related to the workspace) to drawing mode (where users can make sketches and diagrams) as a demonstration-of-action that calls more attention to the mode change than a sudden switch would, and provides a handle for override (see later).
Override techniques allow users to repair misinterpretation of the user’s state or to interrupt or stop the system from engaging in proactive action.
This usually occurs after one of the previous techniques (user reflection or system demonstration) alert the user to some inference or action that is undesirable. Override is distinct from “undo” because it is targeted at countering the action of the system rather than reverting a command by the user.
An example of override in Range is that in the transition between modes users are able to “grab” digital content to use it as part of the whiteboard contents, or to stop the motion of objects that are being moved to make space for drawings.
The main contribution of this framework compared to prior models for implicit interaction lies in the key variable of initiative. Without this variable, it would not be possible to distinguish user reflection techniques from system demonstration techniques or to map the role of override.
In conclusion, a very interesting paper that offers a framework to reason about proactive user interfaces and make sure that users are always in control.

Call of Duty series keeps getting better and better, and the next game will be set during World War II as Activision officially confirmed.
The announcement was brief, but according to the publisher, we are going to find out more about the Call of Duty: WWII in a live stream next Wednesday. For now, we only have this promotional photo that was delivered. Although the release date of the actual game was not officially marked on the calendar, we all know that Activision announces its Call of Duty games in spring and they go on sale in November.
The report states: “Call of Duty returns to its World War II roots with Call of Duty: WWII, developed by Sledgehammer Games. More details are incoming during the game’s Worldwide Reveal livestream on Wednesday, April 26 featuring Sledgehammer Games co-studio heads and founders Michael Condrey and Glen Schofield. Fans will be able to tune in to get a first look at Call of Duty: WWII and get intel on the studio’s vision for the game.”
The first game of the popular series was launched back in 2003, and it was set in the World War II. There were four more titles set in that time period with the best one probably being the Call of Duty: World at War. However, the franchise focused on other conflicts and wars, so we have battles in the 1960s and the future.
Sledgehammer Games was established back in 2009 by ex-members of Visceral Games that produced the sci-fi horror action adventure series called Dead Space. This company helped developing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 just two years after it was founded. Furthermore, they created Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in 2016 and this game received positive feedback. Now they are working on the new Call of Duty: WWII.
Activision spoke to the investors and said that the upcoming game “will take Call of Duty back to its roots” and that the futuristic setting in the Infinite Warfare “just didn’t resonate.”
Stay tuned for more details.

The Replacements have been revived - in pencil-style animated form - for a new video for "Shutup," a fast-paced track from their soon-to-be-reissued debut album Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash.
READ MORE: The Replacements' 'Trash' is a Box Set Treasure
As the second-to-last track on the 1981 album, "Shutup" is a raw self-skewer, addressing frontman Paul Westerberg's apathy and the band's artful incompetence ("Tommy's too young / Bobby's too drunk / I only shout one note / Chris needs a watch to keep time / we'll never find time to vote"). The animation by Pat Moriarity and Seth Zeichner adds to the down 'n' dirty zine feel of the music, with some cool references for eagle-eyed fans, from a sleeveless tee bearing the name of Minneapolis punk progenitors The Suicide Commandos to Chris Mars' bass drum head bearing the name "Dogbreath," the first band name Westerberg, Mars and Bob and Tommy Stinson performed under.
The deluxe Sorry Ma, due out Oct. 22, will feature three bonus CDs featuring demos, outtakes, alternate mixes and a previously unreleased live performance, plus a vinyl record culling the best of the alternate takes into a second version of the original album.

‘Freedom Writer’ Erin Gruwell visits Health Professions
Her story inspired movie starring Hilary Swank
Erin Gruwell, the Southern California teacher whose work with at-risk teens inspired the movie “Freedom Writers,” spoke with students at Health Professions High School last Thursday.
Gruwell brought some of her original group of students with her to the North Land Park campus and spoke to the school about the importance of sharing your story.
In 1994, Gruwell began teaching at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach. She was assigned to work with 150 at-risk students and strongly believed that through education they could overcome even the worst kinds of adversity.
Inspired by “The Diary of Ann Frank,” Gruwell encouraged her students to keep journals. Four years later all 150 students, dubbed the Freedom Writers, graduated from high school. The students’ book, “The Freedom Writers Diary,” became a best-seller and the subject of a movie.
To honor Gruwell’s connection to Ann Frank, the Health Professions choir last Thursday sang an English version of a Hebrew song.
Says Health Professions Principal Ann Curtis: “Erin was an inspiring speaker and her message was heard loud and clear by the students, staff and alumni who attended.”
These days, Gruwell teaches teachers around the country how to implement her lesson plans in their classrooms through the Freedom Writers Foundation, which she founded. Health Professions High School teachers have employed the lessons to great success.

The Struggles of Women in Myanmar and the Sri Lankan Woman
“The strongest part of my body is my knees, and I will never kneel down,” said Aung San Suu Kyi.
By the time I write this, 100 days have passed since military rule began in Myanmar. People are fighting for democracy, while resisting military attacks. They are not satisfied with the positive response from ASEAN in fear of a nominal democracy that can be brokered with the military.
Their election was held on 8th November, and the National League for Democracy Party achieved the majority vote. The new parliament was to meet on February 01 of 2021, but the military prevented it that morning. President Win Myint, state adviser Aung San Suu Kyi and many other leaders of the National League for Democracy Party and the government were arrested. A year-long state of emergency was declared soon after, and both the Vice President and former military officer Myint Swe took over power as the country’s acting president. His powers were vested in the Army Commander General Min Aung Hlaing.
The people of Myanmar struggle, demanding democracy be restored and their leader Aung San Suu Kyi released. They are confident it will happen. The participation of women in people’s struggle is one of the most remarkable features. During the 2015 election, 150 women contested from the National League for Democracy Party and 134 of them were elected to office. The percentage of women in parliament was 12.7%. Women leaders included academics and professionals like doctors, lawyers and educationists. It was a significant increase from 3.5% in 2011. However, it declined to 11.32% in 2019. Myanmar has proposed to increase women’s representation in the public service to 30%.
Compared to Myanmar, the representation of women in Sri Lanka parliament in 2020 is 5.3%, i.e., 12 out of 225 MPs.

As at now, Myanmar’s military has killed over 700 people, including children. Thousands are in custody. The junta released about 24,000 political prisoners sans leaders to mark the New Year. Trade union and women leader Daw Myo Aye is one lof the major figures recently arrested by the military.
The Myanmar opposition has formed a unity government against the military under the leadership of President-elect Win Myint.

A photo of a catholic nun demanding the military to not shoot when a demonstration of children that went viral on social media indicates that religious leaders are also coming to bring peace to Myanmar. Catholics are a minority in Buddhist-dominated Myanmar.

With most of the struggles for democracy and peace around the world, women play a significant role. The situation was no different in the 30-year war in Sri Lanka. According to a census conducted by the Ministry of Women’s Affairs of Sri Lanka in 2010, 89,000 women had become war widows. Forty-nine thousand of them lived in Northern and Eastern Provinces. The Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) pointed out that the major target of the conflict was women, children and the elderly. Many of these widowed women are the heads of households and the primary caregivers to elderly persons and children.
Ma Kyal Sin was an 18-year old girl who was killed by the military junta during a protest in Mandalay, the second-largest city of Myanmar. Every day, thousands of women and girls like her join the struggle.

Although Sri Lanka produced the world’s first woman Prime Minister, we have not yet created a political personality like Aung San Suu Kyi. The political system of Sri Lanka prevents such women from coming to leadership. Compared to Sri Lanka, in India, women’s representation in public office is 12.6%. Nepal has 32.7% female representation in the parliament. Although the 25% quota of women was introduced in local governments elections since 2018, this alone will not create women’s leadership nor guarantee women’s rights in Sri Lanka. Only a few political and social movements in Sri Lanka have a feminist outlook and given opportunity for women. The majority of the 2.9 million people affected by micro-credit loans are women. These women must lead a struggle against this mafia now. The mothers, war widows and their children have been struggling for justice for more than a decade.
(Photo: Children not returned. MOJO video https://youtu.be/z_9B-rvHAXY)
Sri Lankan women need an approach to the struggle for democracy like the women in Myanmar. Unfortunately, the political structure in Sri Lanka does not provide an opportunity for that. Military and other extremisms have led to more suppression of women and other marginalized communities in many other countries like Libya, Ethiopia, Congo, Bolivia, Tunisia and Palestine presently. The issues in these countries have grabbed world attention. For example, 137 human rights bodies signed a letter regarding Myanmar that is addressed to the UN Security Council. The human rights office of Sri Lanka is also a party to that letter.
Myanmar women have shown to the world that they need Aung San Suu Kyi’s leadership and have shown that they will even sacrifice their lives for such leaders. The entire democratic world wants to see the Myanmar military coup defeated and democracy restored.

The family of a disabled woman who died at Blackpool Victoria Hospital say they have applied for judicial review of her inquest in the High Court.
Jackie Maguire, who had Down’s Syndrome, died in February 2017 after suffering a 3cm ulcer that pierced the wall of her stomach.
The 52-year-old, who lived at the United Response care home on St Annes Road East, St Annes, had suffered from vomiting for a week and diarrhoea for a week and a half, and suffered a suspected seizure the day before her death.
Care home staff called a doctor at the Clifton Medical Practice, Dr Sarfaraz Adam, for a home visit, but he decided not to attend.
An ambulance was later called, but the inquest heard how Miss Maguire became distressed and would not co-operate with paramedics.
It was agreed she would remain at the care home under observation. However, her condition deteriorated and she later collapsed on the morning of February 22, and died later that day.
An inquest which took place over two weeks in June and July last year handed down a conclusion of death by natural causes.
Miss Maguire’s mother, Muriel Maguire, 82, wants to ask the High Court to quash the jury’s verdict and order a new inquest at a judicial review in a few months’ time.
At the inquest last year, Mrs Maguire told the court that she had been informed of her daughter’s sickness on the night of February 21, and told staff that Jackie did not have the mental capacity to make the decision not to go to hospital. She said she asked to speak with the paramedics but was told this was not possible.

The 8 principles for choosing a welding positioner
Common fault problems and solutions of welding positioner
Welding positioner is a positioning machine that rotates and tilts the weldment, in order to keep the welding seam always in the right position easy for welding. Use welding positioner properly can make welding efficient higher, quality better and labor cost lower.
Meanwhile, it’s one of the essential equipment for mechanization and automation of the welding procedure. By co-working with a welding manipulator, it can deal with auto welding complicated weldment.
Nowadays, welding positioner is widely used in construction machinery, heavy-duty machinery, vehicle, boiler, pressure vessel, pipe and tube, and other manufacturing industries.
Structure types of welding positioners:
There are 4 types: arm-type, seat-type, double-seat type, and L type with dual rotating.
1.Arm type welding positioner: It has a rotating platform, arm, overturning axis, rotating axis, base, and other essential parts. The rotating platform is driven by a motor for constant speed rotating. It’s installed at the end of the arm. The arm together with the rotating platform can tilt for a certain angle with the overturning axis. While the rotary axis can make the platform rotate around the arm’s vertical axis. The advantages of this type are: the working range is big, easy to operate, and good adaptability. The disadvantages are poor stability structure, a low burden. It can carry 600kg or lighter weldment. Usually used on small type weldment, in stick welding (SMAW), MIG welding (GMAW).
When using hydraulic driving the maximum burden can be up to 10T or so.
2.Seat type welding positioner (also called benchtop welding positioner): It’s the most popular structure of welding positioner. It has a rotating platform, overturning module, a motor driving system, and a base. The weldment is put on the platform and clamped by chucks. So the weldment won’t loosen when the platform is turning over. The rotating platform can work with either a DC motor or AC motor. It can achieve infinitely variable speeds in a wide range by the speed control system. Therefore it can meet various welding requirements. The rotating and overturning of the platform is via a fan-shape gear. And it’s driven by a motor or hydraulic cylinder. The maximum overturning angle is usually 110°-135°. And the tilting speed is constant. The weldment can stop and lock at any angle.
This type of welding positioner has a compact structure, excellent stability, big burden (max 400t), easy moving, and operating.
If you want to have a bigger working range and wider adaptability we can make it lifting type. The lifting module runs with motors along with columns and clamping wheels or with ball screw structure.
To have better stability and safety the lifting and overturning part can use a hydraulic cylinder instead of a motor. This makes it even more compact.
One of the disadvantages is that it has strict requirements of the length of weldments. And the centroidal distance should also be in a safe range. When you want to weld long weldment there’s a simple solution: to use a secondary rotator.

I picked up an Accell mini Displayport to Dual link DVI active adapter to drive a Dell 30 inch monitor. I have everything in order but the ATI software will not detect the display. I thought it was defective so I ran down to the local Best Buy store and it worked fine driving an Apple Cinema display from a MacBook mDP port. Additionally, I borrowed a MacBook to try on my Dell and it also worked. It looks to be something specific to the Envy 14. I have two units so I know it is not the a system specific thing (32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7). I am at a loss why it does not work. I cannot find any specific settings with Catalyst to force the monitor to be detected. Anyone have any ideas?
07-24-2010 08:14 PM
I don't have a solution, but I have the same problem. I bought the same Accell adapter and the connected displays are not detected, and like you, the adapter works on my friend's laptop with a mini-displayport. I'm hoping it's a software/driver problem and not laptop. I've tried several dvi cables (both dual-link and single-link) and several monitors without luck.
09-29-2010 11:12 AM
Same problem here.
I cannot get a Monoprice-brand mini-display-port -> DVI adapter to work with my Dell 22" monitor. My VGA adapter works fine (though the image is shimmery) but i thought the DVI conversion would be more simple because it's D->D.
Anyone get this to work that isn't using the $50 HP adapter?
I updated the bios and video-drivers but no dice.
10-05-2010 02:12 PM
I have a similar problem. I try hooking up my VGA monitor with an mDP_to_VGA adapter. The Catalyst Control Center will not find the monitor. It seems likely to me that this is a driver problem, however I'm shure i have the latest version from HP and downloading from ATI is not an option while you loose much of the laptop functionality that way.
The other problem is the complete lack of information on the issue, this community string is all I've found.
If any of you find a solution to the non-woorking mDP plaese post it!

The mdp-to-vga-issue seems to be a huge problem, affecting many units of model HP Envy 14-1085eo, maybe even other models of the Envy-series. Me and my work colleagues all have the same problem as eioshaugstad - Unable to successfully connect to external monitor with mdp-to-vga-adapter cable.
I have tried a mac clone mdp (male)-to-vga female)-adapter + vga-extension cable, which resulted in the external monitor not recognizing any signal at all. I have had some success with a mdp (male)-to-vga (male) connected directly from laptop to external monitor (not using a vga-extension cable). The monitor recognizes the signal but any resolution set above 1280x800 will result in a distorted picture, and my monitor’s recommended resolution is 1680x1050.
I have tried connecting to several different monitors with the same result. Tried updating the graphics card driver and bios, to no avail. I notified HP tech support, who in turn told me to send it for repair - The motherboard was supposed to be replaced but the waiting time for a new motherboard was about 2 months. So finally, I got a new machine - But the problem presists, which leads me to suspect that this is a major design flaw either from HP or AMD (who manufactures the ATI 5650 graphics card).
I have talked to HP’s tech support in Sweden (since I reside in Sweden) but no one takes responsibility, according to HP there is no product specialist for this model in Sweden, so no one can- or are willing to give me a guaranteed working solution. HP sells a HDMI-to-VGA converter but it is ridiculously expensive in Sweden - Around 220 USD for a refurbished one.
This issue is both critical and urgent and I wouldn’t be surprised if HP has to recall all Envy 14 models from the market. I’m only hoping the issue can be resolved with a software update very soon.

Similar issue at my university - an Envy 14 that cannot connect to an external display using any Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter. Our Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter works just fine, but all our projectors are VGA.
HP had us send the Envy in for service. It came back with no explanation of any work done.
HP support tells us this is now a 'known issue' that may be fixed in software at some undefined future date.
HP supplied us with an HDMI to VGA adapter, and it works fine. We asked them for an HDMI to DVI adapter as well. With all the reports of problems with the Mini DisplayPort, we don't trust our MDP to DVI to continue working.
HP Service also did not return to us the AC power cord from our AC adapter. When we asked them for an HDMI-DVI adapter and our power cord back, they promptly sent us a 2nd HDMI-VGA adapter, and - wait for it - a 2nd AC adapter, minus, of course, the AC cord.
They have no idea how to fix our problem, return our parts to us, or ship the correct parts, but at least they're fast.
10-07-2010 05:07 PM
Got HP support on chat as to why my Monoprice adapter didn't work (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10246&cs_id=1024604&p_id=6000&seq=1&for...).
Here's the discussion:
Q: Am I the only one having this problem connecting mDP to DVI?
A: This issue has been reported to HP previously. This has been escalated to the engineering department and they are presently working on this issue.
Q: Would it be fixed by ordering the HP-supplied adapter?
A: This issue has been found even with an ATI Eyefinity certified Active MDP to DVI/HDMI/VGA adapters. Only MDP to DP adapters works presently with this port. We are presently collecting more information on this issue so that we can forward this to the engineering department.
The adapter that you are presently using is a passive adapter. This issue should be fixed through a BIOS update. But we have not been notified about the release date of the BIOS update. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.
I guess we wait...
11-09-2010 05:08 PM
I would like to connect my Envy 14 to a VGA monitor port or VGA projector port.
I'm using Apple's mini displayport to VGA adapter which Apple claims is an active adapter in their knowledge base.
(Since I'm only connecting to a single external monitor, I believe I should be able to use a passive or active cable.)
I get no signal output to my monitor. I've tried the same adapter plugged in to my Mac Mini mini displayport and it works just fine.
HP Support has been really frustrating to work with on this issue. When I asked the agent if she even knew there were active and passive adapters, she said she would have to do more research and that next-level support would call me back in 4-24 hours. Of course, it never happened.
Is something wrong with my graphics card (HD5650), is this a known design issue, is there another adapter I should be using?
11-14-2010 06:38 PM
If you have a DVI-D port on your monitor, you can use a hdmi to dvi-d cable to get any higher resolution higher than 1920x1080. I have a 2048x1152 monitor DELL SP2309w and it works perfectly with a hdmi to dvi-d cable.
11-19-2010 04:14 AM
Has anyone tried connecting a HP ENVY 14 (1085eo) with a HP HDMI-to-VGA adapter, to a VGA-screen with a resolution of at least 1680x1050 at 60 Hz, and confirm this to be working?
Thanks in advance!


Cross-Ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP) Phase 2:Intelligent Knowledge Cyber and Processing Infrastructure Integrating Physical Domains
PD：SASO Hideyuki, (Specially Appointed Professor, Tokyo Institute of Technology)
This project is being implemented by NEDO as the legal entity in charge of managing Intelligent Knowledge Processing Infrastructure Integrating Physical and Virtual Domains, one of the twelve issues being pursued by the Cabinet Office during the second phase of the Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program known as SIP.
To achieve Society 5.0—the aspirational future society envisioned under the 5th Science and Technology Basic Plan—it is necessary to realize advanced, high-efficiency collection and accumulation of information at Japan's various high-quality field locations (physical spaces) and establish linkage technologies (cyber physical systems or CPSs*) that realize a high degree of fusion with cyberspace (virtual spaces). It is also important to develop technology that leverages Japan's strengths—including systematization and technology with a focus on real-time processing, controllability, and ultra-low power consumption—and systematizes this technology as a new platform, but the high costs of physical space processing and Japan's shortage of IT human resources have become extremely serious problems.
Therefore, this research and development project is being pursued with the following goals:
- To develop a platform focused on edges (i.e. an edge platform) that makes it easy to link cyber and physical spaces and then implement this platform in society to greatly reduce physical-space processing costs and stimulate the industrial sector, including Japan's SMEs and startups.
- To simultaneously achieve the practical application and systematization of ultra-low-power-consumption IoT devices and innovative sensor technology by utilizing Japanese materials and device technology, one of its strengths.
- To develop social issue implementation technology necessary for the establishment of edge-focused CPSs, and show society examples of the successful resolution of such issues.
- To build a system that enables independent maintenance and updating of the edge platform, with the aim of maintaining and expanding the international competitiveness of Japan's CPSs.
- CPS: Cyber-physical system (a system in which cyber and physical spaces are closely connected)
The main research and development sub-themes are as follows:
- Research sub-theme I. Common platform technology for development of IoT solutions
- Research sub-theme II. Ultra-low-power-consumption IoT devices and innovative sensor technology
- Research sub-theme III. Social implementation technology for achieving Society 5.0
