CBC declares blood emergency
Community Blood Center (CBC) has declared a blood emergency and is asking for community members to donate blood to help replenish the CBC blood supply.
CBC serves numerous area hospitals, including Sabetha Community Hospital, Hiawatha Community Hospital, Holton Community Hospital, Horton Community Hospital, Community Healthcare System in Onaga, Colmery-O’Neil VA Medical Center in Topeka, and Stormont Vail Health in Topeka.
In order to maintain a safe blood supply, a seven-day inventory of all blood types must be continually replenished. Right now, reserves are below that minimum, following a drop in the number of donations in April and May.
These low levels are particularly dangerous leading into summer months, when people are less likely to donate blood as schools go on summer break and families take vacations. The best preparation for life-threatening situations is having blood on hospital shelves in advance.
“While blood donations tend to slow down in the summer months, the need does not,” said David Graham, executive director of CBC. “Right now, supplies are low and we need all those who are able to donate and help ensure that every patient and hospital has access to life-saving blood when they need it.”
People with all blood types are encouraged to donate, especially donors with O negative and B negative blood types. O negative blood donors are considered “universal,” and their blood type is needed most readily in trauma situations and emergency rooms across the country. B negative is a particularly rare blood type.
Community members are encouraged to find time to donate blood at a CBC donor center or convenient mobile blood drive. Companies, organizations, and community groups are also encouraged to host a blood drive this summer to help rebuild the blood stock supply.
In just 60 minutes, you can donate one pint of blood and Save a Life, Right Here, Right Now in your own community. About one in seven hospital admissions requires a blood transfusion, and with a limited shelf life, supplies must be continually replenished. Those in need include cancer patients, accident, burn, or trauma victims, newborn babies and their mothers, transplant recipients, surgery patients, chronically transfused patients suffering from sickle cell disease or thalassemia, and many more.
How to help: donate blood or platelets at a donor center; donate at a mobile blood drive; host a blood drive in your community or at your organization; educate others in your family, community, and organization about blood donations, and encourage them to donate themselves and/or host a blood drive; or promote the need for blood donors on social media.
The next Sabetha Community Blood Drive will be held from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 31, at Sabetha City Hall.

Everyone wants to be a professional writer! Or so it seems sometimes. In my life, it’s more unusual to come across someone who doesn’t want to write than someone who does.
I love my job, but writing is very difficult. People think that because they learned basic writing in school and enjoy fantasizing that they can do it, which is a little like getting an A in high school biology and calling yourself a doctor. So let’s talk about it: should you be a professional writer?
First, let’s define terms. What do I mean by professional writer? I’m old-fashioned. I think it means getting paid to write. Sometimes, though, this is indirect: for example, many literary writers don’t get paid to publish their fiction but their writing leads to grants and teaching jobs. Let’s define “professional writer” as your livelihood revolves around publishing your writing in some way.
Here’s what you probably know. You probably know that writing means a lot of rejection. At least I hope you know that, because you will get rejected. A lot. Like it will almost be funny how many rejections you get. And you probably know that you’ll have to spend time alone in a room struggling with your thoughts. There will be agonizing, discouragement, and doubt. These emotions are real, and not at all romantic—don’t underestimate the toll they’ll take on you.
Those are the common things people know about being a professional writer. Here are some things that most people don’t know:
* People will constantly tell you that what you do is not worth paying you for. In fact, maybe you should pay them to even be considered for publication.
* Everyone in the industry complains about how no one reads and journalism is collapsing and publishing is dying and no one reads and ebooks! and Amazon is a meanie and no one reads anymore. So get ready for that.
* You will reach what feels like the end of your intellect, vocabulary, and imagination, and it will be humbling.
* People will tell you that they think they can be a writer because they can type fast. Really. That is something someone said to me.
* Most people who show interest in your career are looking for tips on how to do the same thing.
* In social settings, when you say you’re a writer, some people will think this means you’re an unemployed person giving yourself airs, and will expect you to prove otherwise by listing off your resume.
* People will ask you point-blank how much you’re paid or what you make in a year, even though they would never do that with another job because it’s rude.
* You know you will be poor, right?
So. That’s what you have to deal with in today’s writing community. Still interested? Okay, you must really like writing! Or do you? Let’s take a test.
Signs You Should NOT Be A Writer:
* You never have time to read.
* You find it hard to write. The act of putting words down on paper is a struggle for you.
* You feel you need to read self-help books to learn how to be creative.
* You don’t like writing, or, writing makes you unhappy and depressed.
* Your self-doubt strangles you to the point that you can’t write anything. You beat yourself up endlessly over this problem.
* You expect to be a success right away and get upset if you fail.
* You can’t handle rejection.
I don’t like to squash blossoms of hope, but if you don’t like writing and reading, or the idea of writing makes you so nervous you can’t bear to contemplate it, then you don’t have a deep enough reserve of love for this career. Without that reserve of love, the industry will turn you into a dehydrated toad. Publishing is full of dehydrated toads.
But since this post is sounding a bit negative, here’s the flip side:
Signs you SHOULD be a writer:
* Writing is emotionally and spiritually satisfying to you. It comes easily (most of the time) and you love it with the passion of a thousand Latin lovers.
* You have so many ideas, you don’t know what to do with them all.
* You feel there is something unique or original about you that you need to express.
* You’re an obsessive reader.
* You love language. Well-written words fill you with joy.
* You naturally make narratives, connections, and observations that are sharp and interesting.
* You have a huge imagination.
* You’re tough and disciplined.
* You’re willing to do the sacrifices that writing requires.
Finally: there is nothing wrong with writing for the fun of it. It’s a great form of self-expression and an enriching activity. And, bonus, writing as a hobby has none of the above problems—no rejection, no having to defend yourself, no fear or doubt. That’s a pretty good deal. Why not leave that stuff up to the professionals?
I would say that of all the strangers outside the writing field who find out I’ve written a book, about 70% of them either ask me how they can get a book published or tell me they would like to write one, too. The only time this ever bothered me was when someone told me that the reason they wanted to do it was because they needed an easy fallback career. Ha!

Blackhawks' Kevin Korchinski: One assist in loss

Korchinski notched an assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 8-1 loss to the Coyotes.

He set up fellow rookie Connor Bedard for a first-minute tally which was all the Blackhawks could muster Monday.

Two officials in Morocco’s Ministry of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development and Water and Forests have been sacked after 1490 turtle doves were massacred by Gulf tourists in the area of Marrakech.
A video documenting the massacre of 1490 dove birds in the area of Morocco’s Marrakech by Gulf tourists triggered a public uproar last August. Moroccans called upon the authorities to intervene and punish those responsible for what they called an ‘environmental massacre’, which led the Ministry in charge to begin an investigation.
Around ten days later, two high ranking officials were found responsible for this serious abuse and were sacked immediately. They are the Regional Head of Waters and Forests and the Head of the Wildlife Surveillance and Control Unit in the High Atlas.
The investigations led by the Department of Waters and Forests confirmed the authenticity of the photos and videos that were shared on social media. Then, it located the places where the incident took place and revealed that they belonged to a lot leased to a hunting company.
According to a communiqué released by the mentioned ministry, the hunting company did not supervise the hunting activity, as dictated by the provisions of the leasing contract.
This makes the company fully responsible “for the acts committed by its customers,” it adds. The communiqué goes on to say that the department has proceeded to the suspension of the hunting license from the “company which will also be subject to legal proceedings.”
Morocco’s hunting regulations specify that the hunting limit for this species is 50 birds per person per day.

A discount retail chain has set its sights on a former grocery store in the Lakeside area for its latest local expansion.
Gabe’s, a West Virginia-based chain selling off-price clothing, home goods, pantry items and other goods, plans to open a new outpost at 5700 Brook Road, taking over the anchor space at Brook Run Shopping Center.
The store plans to open in its approximately 60,000-square-foot space in late June, per the company’s website.
The store appears slated to be the third Gabe’s location in the Greater Richmond area, joining 11003 Hull Street Road near Brandermill and 1040 Temple Ave. in Colonial Heights, according to the company’s website.
The company didn’t respond to a request for comment Friday.
The space was once home to grocery store Big Apple Neighborhood Market, which closed there in 2018 after fewer than six months of operation. Before Big Apple, the space was occupied by Martin’s Food Markets, which shuttered in 2017.
In other local retail news, TJ Maxx’s parent company is preparing to open a location of its off-price outdoors store Sierra and discounted home goods retailer Homesense in a former Stein Mart space in Short Pump.

New bat mark can be found in the place shown on the picture above – in the central part of Founders’ Island, not far north from Adams port. During the next Azrael battle you will face not only common bandits, but elite opponents as well.
Leave the Clock tower: Azrael leaves the sword on the shelf, instead choosing to simply leave the Clocktower using the elevator. This leaves the Sword on the clock tower for the rest of the game.
In Arkham Knight, the characters available depend on the DLC you’ve got. Everyone can play as Robin, Catwoman, Nightwing and Azrael, whether you’ve reached the point in the story where they’ve turned up or not. You can only use Red Hood, Harley Quinn and Batgirl if you own their respective DLC packs.
Complete Knightfall Protocol Ending. The Complete Knightfall Protocol can be enacted only when Batman was apprehended ALL of Gotham’s Most Wanted. This includes defeating all of the Arkham Knight’s militia – the Road Blocks, Watchtowers, Mines, and of course, the last leader of the militia – Deathstroke.

He was always white in the comics.
In the Batman Arkham games, Azrael (the Michael Lane version) positions himself as Batman’s replacement, and the player takes control of Azrael as Batman tests him. With Batman dead in Gotham Knights, it would be likely that Azrael would return in some fashion to take up the mantle of the Bat.
Instead, you are plopped back into the world and are confronted with another mission: The Knightfall Protocol.To activate this mission, you’ll need to mop up roughly half of the side activities in the game.
Arriving at the scene, Batman discovers much to his dismay that Nightwing was killed by a mysterious assailant. Reconstructing the crime scene, he learns that his killer knew exactly how he would fight.
You can find Manbat once more after completing the Infiltrating Stagg Airships portion of the main story. Once you have gotten out, Manbat will be circling the skies of Bleake Island. Use the methods from your last encounter to tackle him again.
49 years (May 16, 1972)
Although WB Montreal did work on Batman: Arkham Origins and several other tie-ins to Rocksteady’s Arkham franchise, it has been confirmed that Gotham Knights is not a sequel to Arkham Knight.
It’s a fantastic premise, there’s just one problem – there’s no way the caped crusader is actually dead. Batman isn’t dead in Gotham Knights. … It would be interesting to see a Batman game set post-Batman, but it would pose a financial risk.
Azrael is of cosmic size: with his 4,000 wings and a body formed by as many eyes and tongues as there are living human beings, he stands with one foot in the fourth (or seventh) heaven, the other on the razor-sharp bridge that divides paradise and hell.
She is the author of the book “Wake Up to Wonder.” In art, Azrael is often depicted wielding a sword or scythe, or wearing a hood, since these symbols represent his role as the angel of death who is reminiscent of the popular culture’s Grim Reaper.
In addition to Michael and Raphael, the 12 archangels are Ariel, Chamuel, Zadkiel, Gabriel, Raziel, Metatron, Jophiel, Jeremiel, Raguel, Azrael, Uriel, and Sandalphon. To learn more, here is a list of the 12 archangels and their connection with the zodiac signs.
Powers and Abilities
His mental conditioning through “The System” make him an expertly trained martial artist, but further training from Batman has groomed him into a formidable combatant. Azrael’s traditional weapon of choice is two flaming daggers that extend from his gauntlets, but he has also used a flaming sword.
Jean-Paul Valley Jr. Azrael is a antihero turned superhero in the DC Universe and was most famous for temporarily replacing Batman as a more ruthless vigilante.

Chandigarh: The Punjab and Haryana high court has sought response from Punjab government on a plea challenging direct recruitment of 81 junior engineers (JEs) in the water supply and sanitation department.
The high court bench of justice Mahabir Singh Sindhu also asked the government why the process should not be stayed.
As per the plea, after 2016, qualified employees under the quota of 15% diploma pass and 6% departmental test pass, quota were not promoted by the department. But direct recruitment was carried out of 55 junior engineers in 2017, 210 junior engineers in 2019 and now more 81 junior engineers are being recruited through direct recruitment. The employees of the water supply department have been waiting for promotions for 15 years now, and should also be given promotions, the plea argued.

The preliminary data suggests that many more New Yorkers may have been infected than was previously believed.
A top New York City health official warned against relying heavily on antibody tests in making decisions about social distancing and restarting the economy.
Confirmed cases and deaths in New York State
(See maps of the coronavirus outbreak in New York »
(The) Street Street subway station at Sixth Avenue in Manhattan on Thursday.
More than percent of around 1, people in New York City who were tested for coronavirus antibodies this week
were found to have them , Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said on Thursday.
The results were from a state program that tested 3, 23 supermarket customers across New York State. Nearly 36 percent of the tests came back positive, Mr. Cuomo said.
It was unclear just how telling the preliminary data was, as Mr. Cuomo acknowledged. And the accuracy of the antibody testing available in the United States in general has been called into question .
Antibody tests are intended to signal whether a person may have built immunity to virus. They do not test for the virus itself.
But if the state’s numbers indicated the true incidence of the virus, they would mean that more than 1.7 million people in New York City, and more than 2.6 million people statewide, have already been infected.
It would also mean that the fatality rate from the virus was relatively low, about 0.5 percent, Mr. Cuomo said.
Antibody Tests Show High Infection Rate for New York City (About) percent of people in New York City who were tested for coronavirus antibodies tested positive, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said.
So we have undertaken the largest, most comprehensive study of New York State to find out what is the infection rate. And that we started a few days ago. Sample size, so far, 3, people statewide. Let’s find out what the infection rate is. We have preliminary data on Phase 1, and this is going to be ongoing. We did about 3, 25 tests. But what we found so far is the statewide number is . 9 percent tested positive for having the antibodies. What does that mean? It means these are people who were infected, and who developed the antibodies to fight the infection. Long island at . 7, New York City at . 2 Westchester / Rockland, . 7 and rest of state, 3.6. This basically quantifies what we’ve been seeing anecdotally, and what we have known, but it puts numbers to it. It changes the theories of what the death rate is. If you get infected, 33 percent of the population is about 2.7 million people who have been infected. If you look at what we have now as a death total, which is , , that would be about 0.5 percent death rate.
The city’s top disease control official, Dr. Demetre C. Daskalakis, wrote in an email alert on Wednesday that the tests “may produce false negative or false positive results,” pointing to “significant voids” in using the science to pinpoint immunity.
Mr. Cuomo declined to speculate on what the preliminary data might mean. He said its main use would be to provide a baseline for tracking changes in the infection rate.
Supermarket customers do not constitute a random sample of the population. On one hand, they are out in public and spending time in stores, which could increase their exposure to the virus.
On the other hand, they are presumably not actively sick, or living in nursing homes, where the virus has taken a heavy toll. And, of course, no one who was killed by the virus was tested for antibodies.
“What does it mean? I don’t know, ”Mr. Cuomo said. “These are people who were out and about shopping. They were not people who were in their homes, they were not people who were isolated, they were not people who were quarantined. ”
Mr. Cuomo also released the state’s daily figures of deaths and hospitalizations:
Deaths are falling:
- deaths were reported on Thursday, down from on Wednesday. The number of deaths in the first four days of this week is down percent compared with the first four days of last week. The state’s death toll is now , . ()
Fifty-one people in the care of the city Department of Homeless Services have died of complications related to the coronavirus, which has now spread to more than a third of the city’s shelters, the agency reported on Thursday.
The overall toll rose on Wednesday when officials learned of the deaths of three men who had been living in shelters meant for single adults and who died after being hospitalized with the virus, officials s aid.
Nearly three of every four homeless people who have died of the virus and were being tracked by the homeless services agency were adults living in shelters where multiple people share rooms and bathrooms.
At a meeting on Thursday, the City Council’s general welfare committee took up legislation that, among other things, would require that single homeless adults be provided with private rooms.
Advocates for homeless people have pushed the city to move people out of shelters into empty hotel rooms, where they would be in a better position to isolate themselves.
Before the pandemic hit New York, about 3, 040620 single adults were living in double hotel rooms because there were not enough shelters to accommodate them.
To protect the most vulnerable shelter residents from the virus, the city began to move older people, those with underlying health conditions and others out of 27 most densely populated shelters. As many as eight to people can live in one room in some shelters, making it difficult to practice social distancing. The city expects to move about 2, (homeless people.
Advocates have argued that all homeless people should have access to empty hotel rooms, as health care workers and people who have homes but cannot safely stay in them have had under separate programs.
The programs drew scrutiny this week after three men were found dead at a Hilton Garden Inn in Manhattan last Saturday.
New York City’s jails, where inmates and correction officers cram together in cell blocks that are unsanitary and crowded even at normal times, have been among the most vulnerable workplaces during the pandemic.
In a lawsuit filed on Thursday, the union accused the city of putting correction officers at further risk by requiring them to work overtime to fill staffing shortages. Some officers, the suit says, have been forced to work three straight shifts of at least eight hours each.
The union , the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association, said the 44 – hour shifts were damaging the officers’ physical and mental health and forcing them into a “cesspool of illness.”
Adding to the officers’ exposure, the suit says, was the city’s failure to require that those who missed work after showing signs of ill ness test negative for the virus before letting them return.
A spokesman for the city’s Law Department said officials would review the issues raised in the suit carefully. He said the city had been working to keep the jails safe by following guidelines established by the federal centers for Disease Control and Prevention while “addressing challenging staffing issues.”
In an earlier suit, the union accused the city of failing to provide adequate testing, masks and other protective gear to its members. The union said it had to get 47, (N) masks for officers from its own supplier.
The two sides settled that suit this month, with the city agreeing to provide, among other things, free testing for any correction employee who exhibited virus symptoms or who had been exposed to someone with the virus.
The researchers found that dozens of children and teenagers were hospitalized with the virus, but survived it, and that women had a clear edge in beating the virus. Fewer of them were hospitalized to begin with, and they were more likely to survive.
One in five hospital stays ended in death. The mortality rate for those who were placed on ventilators and were no longer in the hospital was 300 percent. That was higher than some other (early case reports) , which found death rates of 70 percent to almost 92 percent, have shown.
Like several other reports on smaller patient groups at area hospitals, the Northwell research indicated that obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes were common risk factors for severe Covid – disease requiring hospitalization. One of the most striking findings: only 6 percent of hospitalized patients had no underlying health conditions at all.
. days he spent fighting off the coronavirus as a patient at Montefiore Nyack Hospital, there was one thing Mark Schwarz couldn’t figure out.
“You would randomly start hearing music playing and wonder, ‘What’s that for?’” Mr. Schwarz said.
On Monday, when it finally came time for Mr. Schwarz to go home from the hospital in Nyack, NY, he heard for himself: The cheerful chorus of the Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” rang through the hospital hallways.
Many hospitals around New York have adopted semiofficial songs to celebrate the release of virus patients. “Don’t Stop Believin ‘” and “Every Breath You Take” are among the popular ones.
At some hospitals , the music starts playing long before discharge. At Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, nurses call for a “Code Sun” when a patient is removed from a ventilator and successfully breathing on their own; Montefiore Nyack plays it when patients move out of intensive care.
“Honestly,” said Devjit Roy, Mr. Schwarz’s doctor at Montefiore Nyack, “I guess it’s just the sound of hope.”
New Jersey was on the verge of reaching , 25 virus cases, Governor Philip D. Murphy said on Thursday.
Mr. Murphy reported 4, new cases at his daily briefing on Thursday, bringing the total to , . He noted that , of those involved people who had cleared the virus’s two-week incubation period .
“Let’s remember that there are tens of thousands of residents who received a positive result who have now likely defeated the virus , ”He said.
The number of hospitalizations rose slightly to 7, 599 but the number of people on ventilators fell to 1, , the lowest it has been in nearly three weeks, Mr. Murphy said.
As he regularly does, Mr. Murphy memorialized some of the state residents who have died of the virus.
Mr. Murphy said Rutgers University had developed a saliva test that would be given to 1, patients and 4, 823 employees of the state’s five developmental centers, which treat residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The test relies on saliva to show the presence of the coronavirus and university officials have said it would allow for broader virus screening than the current method of using nose and throat swabs.
“With this new testing we can test , 24 people a day, ”said Dr. Brian L. Strom, the chancellor of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences.

It’s been that kind of season for a lot of us.
Tanner Usrey, first place winner from week 5, who was to open the show, was one of those under the weather. The rules of the contest state that if a first place winner it unable to open the following week, he forfeits entry into the semi-finals. However, with illness being a valid reason for missing, Tanner will still advance. As will Joe Watson, second place winner from the previous week, who stepped up to come and open the show.
,Joe started the show with four songs, a mix of originals and cover songs. Ordinarily, it would be three songs, but with few competing performers, more songs were needed. Fill-in acts were Cheryl McGuire and Tomas Pineda, Jr. The judges even got into the act, as it were.
Lonny did a Louis Armstrong impression with What a Wonderful World. The only thing missing was the
handkerchief to wipe away the sweat on his brow. Comedienne Tanya got up on stage for a few routines. Dan closed the show with a few of his songs on ukulele and harmonica.
With only three competitors, David Conger came in first place, Cindy Lewis was second, and Sonja Wade was third.
Come on out Friday night for week seven. There is always a lot of good talent. Great music, good food, reasonable drinks, and a friendly staff. If you would like to play as a fill-in performer or compete in the contest, call Anthony at 214-660-4799. There are spots open for this week. Come show us your talent!
Keep writing the songs that are in your heart.
Peace be with you.

Opposing a long-standing orthodoxy of the Western philosophical tradition running from ancient Greek thought until the late nineteenth century, Frege argued that psychological laws of thought—those that explicate how we in fact think—must be distinguished from logical laws of thought—those that formulate and impose rational requirements on thinking. Logic does not describe how we actually think, but only how we should. Yet by thus sundering the logical from the psychological, Frege was unable to explain certain fundamental logical truths, most notably the psychological version of the law of non-contradiction—that one cannot think a thought and its negation simultaneously. In closing the gap that Frege opened, Kimhi shows that the two principles of non-contradiction—the ontological principle and the psychological principle—are in fact aspects of the very same capacity, differently manifested in thinking and being. As his argument progresses, Kimhi draws on the insights of historical figures such as Aristotle, Kant, and Wittgenstein to develop highly original accounts of topics that are of central importance to logic and philosophy more generally. Self-consciousness, language, and logic are revealed to be but different sides of the same reality. While astronomer Vera Rubin made significant contributions to our understanding of dark matter and championed the advancement of women in science, she is not that well known outside of the scientific community.
Sad face graffiti on the wall in Breckinridge. Kimhi, an associate professor in the John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought and the College, is famous in modern philosophical circles for his Thinking and Being: A Two Way Capacity —a book forthcoming from Harvard University Press but long in circulation in the form of drafts and lecture notes passed among colleagues and former students. His research connects logic and the philosophy of language to questions in metaphysics and psychoanalysis. When I arrive at the fifth-floor classroom in Foster Hall on a Tuesday in April, I find a diverse group of about 15 undergraduates, a few missing among 19 enrolled. This is a comparative literature class, a philosophy class, and a Committee on Social Thought class, and I recognize fellow English majors besides.
A negative judgment " S is not p " says what is not the case, but since what is not the case is nothing and does not exist, a negative judgment says nothing and is not a judgment at all. Wittgenstein called this state of affairs "the mystery of negation. No less fastidious a logician than Rudolf Carnap sneered at philosophers who take such trifles seriously. Parmenides, the first of many who did, drew the conclusion that one simply cannot say or think what is not, admonishing followers: "Say and think only this, being is. The price they usually pay for their explanation is metaphysical idealism. The truth of thinking including thinking what is not must depend on nothing but thinking itself, and the favorite way of explaining that proposition is to identify being with thought. If I think it, truly think it, then it is.

This particular formulation of the law of non-contradiction appears to specify a limit on what is possible to believe or to think. There are three traditional ways to understand the necessity expressed by this formulation of the law: 1 the law is a law of nature, and thus expresses a natural or empirical necessity, 2 the law is an instance of a logical truth, and thus expresses a logical necessity, 3 the law is a normative law of thoughts-- a demand to which all intellectual activities must conform. I shall discuss the dual concepts of affirmation and denial and some of their history. There is, I shall try show, a different way different from 1 2 and 3 associated with Spinoza to see the law. Spinoza's discussion of affirmation will allow us to see that "this law is not a law but life", and thus "life as it is lived in the village at the foot of the hill on which the Castle is built.

For businesses across the region, the cloud presents a unique opportunity to innovate, develop new products and services, and scale into new markets or geographies
By Hardeep Sound
When the early days of the pandemic pushed industries across East Africa into survival mode, a wave of cloud adoption swept through the region.
Investment into cloud technologies and digitalisation has since helped organisations in the region build greater resilience, unlock new business models, and push up revenue streams.
Even the most reluctant businesses and their customers gathered momentum and entered the online space, an indication that the benefits of digitalisation became clear almost immediately.
Businesses that grabbed the opportunity at the outset to build new capabilities, establish new revenue streams, or simply transform their business models rapidly gained an advantage over those that were slower to transform.
It was a tough affair so much that the retail sector, for example, embraced technology to adapt to lockdown restrictions and reach customers, sell products and improve visibility over volatile supply chains. Many of the businesses that digitised with speed are now enjoying the benefit of more resilient business models that are better suited to the demands of the modern economy. Cloud is at the heart of East Africa’s future success.
For businesses across the region, the cloud presents a unique opportunity to innovate, develop new products and services, and scale into new markets or geographies. Cloud technologies offer access to services and capabilities that are generally prohibitively costly for most companies.
By adopting cloud solutions for key business processes, organisations can drive greater efficiency and optimise their business processes without the upfront capital outlay of on-premise solutions.
Cloud ‘as-a-service’ can also augment internal capabilities and unlock access to supplier networks, tech skills and other capabilities that were previously out of reach. Many businesses have experienced the advantage of such services especially when the first lockdowns created the need to enable remote work capabilities.
Most businesses were able to maintain communication with teams and customers and kept going just because of cloud technology, which still plays a central role in transforming how organisations measure, manage and motivate their hybrid workforce.
As the ripple effects of the pandemic travelled through the global economy, businesses turned to technology to improve not only visibility over their supply chains, but also convenience, planning and risk mitigation.
A recent study revealed that some East African industries have taken the lead with cloud adoption, including the banking, marketing, agriculture and education sectors. Also, considering the importance of manufacturing and tourism to the regional economy, organisations operating in these industries should leap at the opportunity to digitise.
Business-to-business spending in Africa’s manufacturing sector is set to hit $1 trillion by 2050, and the sector is well-placed to grow and become more competitive through digitisation. That is why, by building ‘industry 4.0’ capabilities underpinned by cloud, manufacturers could unlock the benefits of Artificial Inteligence and robotic process automation with predictive analytics to gain unprecedented control, predictability and operational efficiency.
The tourism sector was one of the hardest hit by pandemic restrictions as international travel came to a total standstill at the peak of the pandemic. To tap into a global tourism sector hungry for new experiences, only innovative ways will go a long way. Here are three focus areas for cloud success.
1 Innovate big time
East Africa will remain competitive, and lure foreign direct investments, if and only if, it invests big on innovation, research and development.
The pharmaceutical sector, for example, holds enormous potential for research and development initiatives that can drive economic growth and create new industries while also reducing the region’s need to import product and service innovations.
Regional innovators could consider to leverage the experience and market insight of cloud service providers with experience supporting pharmaceutical innovation. This can help avoid costly mistakes, close the gap on best practice, and ensure there is an optimal technology mix to support innovation.
2 Environment of uncertainty
The continued volatility in the global economy has created an environment of uncertainty that is hampering growth and innovation. To remove some of this uncertainty, organisations should invest in enterprise resource planning solutions to achieve greater clarity and control over key business functions and core processes.
Cloud adoption can also unlock access to data and analytics capabilities that can empower decision-makers with accurate insights over their businesses, enabling them to guide the business through challenges more effectively.
3 Aim for speed
One of the greatest advantages cloud offers is speed. Instead of spending long periods of time building on-premise capabilities, businesses can readily tap into a wealth of cloud-based solutions to immediately enjoy efficiency and innovation gains.
For mid-market organisations, this could unlock opportunities to quickly test new digital channels and trial new business processes. Successful trials can be rapidly scaled to the rest of the business or to new geographies, powering their growth.

Stopping fossil fuel funding is seen as a major step the world can make to limit the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times, which scientists say would avoid the most devastating impacts of climate change, according to Reuters.
In a communique, which Reuters saw and reported earlier on Friday, the Group of Seven nations – the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan – plus the European Union said "international investments in unabated coal must stop now".
"(We) commit to take concrete steps towards an absolute end to new direct government support for unabated international thermal coal power generation by the end of 2021, including through Official Development Assistance, export finance, investment, and financial and trade promotion support."
Coal is considered unabated when it is burned for power or heat without using technology to capture the resulting emissions, a system not yet widely used in power generation.
Alok Sharma, president of the COP26 climate summit, has made halting international coal financing a "personal priority" to help end of the world's reliance on the fossil fuel, calling for the UN summit in November to be the one "that consigns coal to history".
He called on China to set out its "near-term policies that will then help to deliver the longer-term targets and the whole of the Chinese system needs to deliver on what President Xi Jinping has set out as his policy goals".
The G7 nations also agreed to "work with other global partners to accelerate the deployment of zero emission vehicles", "overwhelmingly" decarbonizing the power sector in the 2030s and moving away from international fossil fuel financing, although no specific date was given for that goal.
They reiterated their commitment to the 2015 Paris Agreement aim to cap the rise in temperatures to as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times and to the developed country climate finance goal to mobilize US$100 billion annually by 2020 through to 2025.
US climate envoy John Kerry urged countries in the Group of 20 world's largest economies to match the measures.
But some green groups said while they welcomed the steps, the G7 needed to set a stricter timetable.

My dissertation "Unchain the Singer! Gender, Performance Norms and Artistic Agency in Opera" is taken from an opera singer’s perspective and the aim is three-fold: • to investigate and problematize how gender and performance norms are reproduced on the opera stage • to provide tools and propose approaches to transform gender perspective and norm critique into a creative artistic practice, enabling conscious and active artistic choices in relation to gender and performance norms • to explore ways to expand the singer's artistic agency. The artistic research project draws on knowledge from both my own practice as a professional opera singer and my collaborators’ experiences from the worlds of opera, classical music and theatre. The thesis consists of four artistic investigations: 1. In "Mönster och möjligheter" (Patterns and Possibilities), gender markers were explored and identified, both in vocal and dramatic performance. The five Mozart scenes that were studied revealed a structure suggesting that femininity in the operatic art often can be expressed by taking responsibility for the music, for facial features and bodily behaviour, and for the audience. Correspondingly, masculinity seemed to be expressed by actively taking less responsibility in these areas. 2. The second investigation was connected to Norrbottensmusiken's production of the new opera "Under en kvinnas hjärta" (Beneath the Heart of a Woman). This study exposed how performance norms affect singers' artistic possibilities also in contemporary opera. The investigation found that if the director's reading of an opera is norm-creative, it can facilitate a less traditionally gender-coded performance. However, even in more traditional opera productions, there are still options for the singer to work norm-creatively with their role, for example by mixing feminine and masculine gender markers. 3. The third investigation, the concert production "Sångernas sång" (The Song of Songs), explored an expanded artistic agency for the singer. Actively using my experience from my career as an opera singer, I wrote the libretto for the chamber mini-opera "Stark som döden" (Strong as Death) in collaboration with a composer. The study suggested that singers, in addition to their creative work on the role, could also contribute with other important perspectives. Concert and opera productions, as well as newly written works, can be enriched by a dialogue with the singers early on in the artistic process. In the creation of the two roles in the chamber pieces "Hög visa" (Songs of Solomona) and "Stark som döden", useful methods for creating a subject position for the characters were developed, as well as ways to work in a concert situation with the portrayal of sexual desire. 4. The fourth and final investigation, "Interaktion och intimitet" (Interaction and Intimacy), was an exploration of intimate scenes. The study showed that the method and know-how of an intimacy coordinator can provide a sense of security that can make the singers freer in their portrayals of sexuality. A greater focus on the story can also make the scenes more interesting artistically. In addition, this study revealed the potential of an expanded agency for the singers. Allowing singers to adapt the text and the distribution of lines in repertoire opera, as well as creating a more collective rehearsal process, where the singers take an active part in the stage directing work, could open up for more norm-creative representations of gender on stage.

Jason Greenblatt, the US Representative for International Negotiations, on Monday rejected reports claiming that the Trump administration’s peace plan for Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) would only be economic in nature.
“To those falsely claiming our vision is just economic peace: we've been clear that the economic vision we present can't exist without the political component, and the political component can't succeed without the economic. Don't believe rumors the plan is only economic. It's not,” he wrote on Twitter.
Senior White House officials said on Sunday that the Trump administration is planning to release the economic component of its upcoming Middle East peace plan in late June, adding that it would break up the release of the much-anticipated plan.
The first half of the plan, dubbed the “Deal of the Century” by President Donald Trump, will be released at an international summit in Manama, Bahrain on June 25 to 26. The US is playing down the summit, however, and is calling the event a "workshop".
The announcement that the plan would be released in two stages had led to speculation that it was solely economic in nature.
Meanwhile on Monday, the PA announced that it would boycott the economic conference.
PA “information minister” Nabil Abu Rudeineh said that the conference would be a meaningless meeting that was part of a meaningless plan.
"An economic agreement, with no political discussion on its side, will fail miserably, and we will not accept any proposal that does not include the basis for the establishment of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital," he declared.
Talks continue regarding the details of the political portion of the peace plan, which is widely rumored not to include provision for the establishment of a Palestinian state – a massive departure from previous American-led peace efforts.
While the Trump administration has largely remained mum on the details of the upcoming Middle East peace plan, some senior officials have hinted that the plan indeed will not provide for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Last month, senior Trump adviser Jared Kushner emphasized that the new peace plan would be try something “different” with regards to the two-state solution.
"If people focus on the old traditional talking points we will never make progress. What we will put out is different.”
Last week, Greenblatt said that the peace plan would be released after the Ramadan and Shavuot holidays, which end on June 4 and 9 respectively. No prior mention was made of splitting the plan’s release.

City council passed legislation to invest $1.7bn in road infrastructure over 10 years in move to improve safety
New York is set to build more than 250 new bike lanes and add 1m sq ft (92,903 sq meters) of pedestrian space in a landmark move designed to break the car culture of the city.
The city council passed legislation this week that will see $1.7bn invested in road infrastructure over 10 years in a move that it is hoped will transform city streets and dramatically improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians.
The New York city council speaker, Corey Johnson, who introduced the streets master plan bill and is anticipated to run for mayor in 2021, said after the vote: The way we plan our streets now makes no sense and New Yorkers pay the price every day, stuck on slow buses or risking their own safety cycling without protected bike lanes I want to completely revolutionise how we share our street space, and thats what this bill does.
This is a roadmap to breaking the car culture in a thoughtful, comprehensive way, and I am so proud to pass this bill today.
While cycling is on the rise in New York the number who ride several times a month grew by 26% between 2012 and 2017, according to the citys most recent cycling trends report more cyclists are dying.
So far this year there have been 25 cyclist deaths, the highest number in 20 years, and pedestrian and cyclist fatalities have risen by 24%.

I love the sea very much – the tremendous strong Waterworld. I would like to live near the ocean and observe it every day and night. The 10 pictures below show the different moods of the ocean that can be admired in the very nice places on the planet. I had the opportunity to stay in a few places like that.
Cuba, the Atlantic Ocean and the beach of Santa María del Mar, 30 minutes by car from the capital, Havana. The beach belongs to the hotel but admission is free. To get there you have to walk 20 minutes into the ocean from the bus stop on the main road. The beach is calm but there is a good number of people. The sea is very blue and nice. At lunchtime, the waiters leave the hotel and take out lobsters with fruits – that gives a tremendous willingness to eat 🙂
Costa Rica Pacific Beach called Playa Hermosa – is near the capital of San José. Delightfully spacious with big waves. It is a deserted beach where you can find surfers and the lonely tree on the beach.
The Pacific Ocean off the coast of Patagonia Сhilena is cold and threatening. The water is opaque and thick under the setting sun. This ocean was watching me during a 3-day ferry trip through the waters of southern Chile.
The free and impressive waters of the Atlantic on Boldró beach, in the Fernando de Noronha archipelago of Brazil. The island is very large and has beaches for all tastes – lone and wild environment, soft beaches with white sand and nice blue waters.
Cancun, the Caribbean Sea. Warm and impressive, full of his busy life, beauty, and happy tranquility.
Ecuador, Tonsupa beach with the dark waters of the tropical Pacific ocean. On this side of the world water sometimes loses its blue splendor but the ocean is still inspiring.
Easter Island, the beginning of the Polynesia principle. The ocean here lives its craziness with tremendous waves. The coast is steep and dangerous of rocks, stones, and helos. The ocean does not let in its marine kingdom and has an exceptional character.
Maceió, Alagoas – Brazil. A little green and full of joy, the wide tides that expose the splendor of the ocean floor, lots of sun and heat.
Puerto Madryn, Argentina, South – the ocean under the threatening cloud. The ocean can surprise at any moment. Cool but nice and full of Antarctic marine life.
Arid and expectant ocean of Jericoacoara in Brazil.

Albuquerque, New Mexico 2021-05-04 07:28:10 –
Albuquerque, New Mexico (KRQE) – Some people need a job, others create their own. Two Albuquerque hair stylists have decided to open their own salon and take root.
There are no cutouts on the floor yet, but the owners Diana Chaparro and Erin Sanchez are ready to get to work. “My ultimate goal was always to be open to myself,” Chaparro said.
Both Chaparro and Sanchez worked in separate salons in northeastern Albuquerque, but opened in 2020 by purchasing a location away from Eubank and Montgomery. Desert Roots Salon.. “We decided to seize the opportunity and choose it,” said Chaparro.
The pandemic urged them to put their future in their own hands. “It was during the first shutdown, so it really made me want to take responsibility for myself,” Sanchez said.
They are considering hiring at least five other employees in the hope that they will open in June. “You have an idea, and now it’s like being physically there in front of you, and it’s a bit fun to see,” Sanchez said.
Of course, without some setbacks, it’s not a pandemic dream. “We were looking for truck lighting everywhere, but no one seems to have anything,” Chaparro said.
After more than a month of hunting, they finally found some. They are a little late until they get a loan or paperwork.
“During construction, things always happened and obviously it didn’t happen like we wanted to open in April. That’s not unexpected for us,” Chaparro said. .. Despite the delays, they just focus on the journey and remain optimistic.
“I think we made the right decision. I don’t think there’s another shutdown we know, but in my opinion we made the right decision,” Chaparro said. They have support because they know when they can open.
“Thankfully, we both congratulate all clients from our old salon for following us to this salon,” said Chaparro. Meanwhile, they continue to design and plan the perfect space.
Current health guidelines allow you to work with 50% capacity. Bernarillo County remains in Green Tier.

Warning: Readers are advised that this report includes graphic photographs and video.
The Islamic State took credit for a deadly attack on Christians worshiping in an Orthodox church in Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim region located between Chechnya and the Caspian Sea. While the authenticity of the statement posted on a website associated with ISIS cannot be ascertained, it is frequently utilized by the Muslim terrorist group to post its statements. The notice on the website claimed that an ISIS operative had carried out an attack on a “Christian temple.”
On Monday, Russian authorities said that they are looking into all leads in order to determine the motivations of the attack that took the lives of five women. According to a TASS news report, Russian Investigative Committee spokesperson Svetlana Petrenko said, "Investigators are looking at various theories of the incident, trying to find out the attacker’s motives."
The presumed murderer has been identified as Khalil Khalilov, 22. Khalilov was shot dead by local police. His wife is being held for questioning. Russian government spokesperson Petrenko said that terrorism is among the motivations her agency is investigating. Khalilov was known by his nom de guerre Khalil al-Dagestani, who ISIS proclaimed as one of its “zealous soldiers of Islam.”
Khalilov is believed to have unleashed fire on Sunday from what appeared to be a hunting rifle or shotgun while worshippers were leaving the Church of Georgi Pobedonostsa in Kizlyar, Dagestan. Orthodox Christians are marking the beginning of Lent in Russia, which is known as Maslenitsa. Surveillance video posted by Russian REN-TV television station showed Khalilov walking on the streets of Kizlyar with a gun in his hands. with the gun along main streets of the city.
At the scene of the crime, four women were killed outright. A fifth woman died of her injuries in hospital. Four others, including police and National Guard officers, were wounded according to TASS. "The victims remain in the same condition, two women are seriously injured, and they are in intensive care," Dr. Kazanfar Kurbanov of the Dagestani emergency medicine center, according to TASS. All of the victims suffered gunshot wounds, while one of the wounded women has had an arm amputated.
According to eyewitnesses, Khalilov started firing when worshippers closed the church doors to prevent him from entering. Father Pavel Kalikin, the pastor at the church, told Russian television, “There were 50 or 60 people inside the church, including children and pregnant women.”
Poverty-stricken Dagestan is where Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the two Boston Marathon bombers, visited in January 2012 before the deadly attack in Massachusetts. Russian authorities had him under surveillance at the time. The unstable region has suffered a spill-over of Islamist violence that originated in the two Muslim jihads in neighboring Chechnya. It has proved to be a recruiting ground for Muslim extremism: ISIS established an affiliate there in 2015 and has claimed responsibility for violent attacks.
According to the U.S.-based Soufan Group, about 3,417 combatants from Russia had joined ISIS in Syria and Iraq, with the majority of recruits coming from the North Caucasus region.
On Monday, spokesman Dmitri Peskov said for the Kremlin that Russia is investigating any possible links between the attack at the church in Kizlyar and extremist organizations in Dagestan. “It is true that a number of such organisations, including those with connections to international terrorism, are pushing ahead with their destructive activity,” Peskov told Tass. “As you know our law enforcement agencies have been working vigorously to quash them.”
In statement following the attack, authorities of the Russian Christian Orthodox Church denounced the attack in Kizlyar as a “monstrous crime” that was a “provocation designed to stoke religious tensions between Orthodox Christians and Muslims” in Dagestan.
On December 16, Russian national guard units using armored vehicles and heavy weapons after negotiations with three Muslim terrorists proved to be fruitless. Special forces moved in on the terrorists early in the morning in the town of Gubden, Dagestan, killing three.
Tourist visa to terrorist
Anzor Tsarnaev arrived in 2002 on a tourist visa in the United States, bringing his sons Tamerlan,and Dzhokhar who were 15 and 8 years old, respectively, at the time. In time, the Tsarnaev family obtained asylum in the country. Dzhokhar became an American citizen. In 2013, the two younger Tsarnaevs unleashed to homemade bombs during the annual Boston Marathon that killed three persons outright and injured dozens of others. The also shot to death a MIT police officer and then had a shootout in nearby Watertown, Massachusetts, where they severely wounded to officers. One of them died of his injuries a year later. Tamerlan died during a shootout and Dzhokhar has been sentenced to death. Their parents have returned to Dagestan.

Voyager Espresso is located in the Fulton Street Center. (Michael Vahrenwald / Esto)
The bar opened in January and was crafted by New York–based design practice Only If, a team of five architects and designers founded in 2013. The clients, a pair of Australians, wanted the space to look distinctly different from the ubiquitous white tile, reclaimed wood, and Edison bulb coffee shop aesthetic and had ambitious plans despite their tight budget. With this in mind, Adam Frampton, principal at Only If, opted for an “inexpensive but futuristic” material palette of aluminum enamel painted oriented strand board, black marble, perforated aluminum and copper, and black rubber.

“In such a small and constrained space, our first intuition was to be very pragmatic with the layout and articulate the design through the materials and details. However, we didn’t want to simply decorate the space,” Frampton said. “It soon became apparent that a more figural gesture—albeit less efficient in terms of quantity of seating—improved ergonomics within the service area and produced a greater identity and hierarchy.”

The “Grotto” at Voyager Espresso. (Michael Vahrenwald / Esto)
Frampton also devised a layout based on two circles: The positive volume, a barista station, allows two baristas to work simultaneously and a negative volume, the “grotto,” a seating space carved out of the surrounding walls. Frampton and his team worked through many iterations before landing on this clever configuration. “The method of exhausting all possibilities until the best fit emerges is probably something that came from my experience working at OMA,” said Frampton. “What’s really interesting about the layout is how it activates different social settings and creates different types of seating.”
The careful planning paid off: After seven weeks of preparing the design and obtaining the correct permit, drawing, and construction documents, the space was built in about eight weeks. It is now open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 110 William Street through the John Street subway entrance.

People from Merseyside are most likely to be signed off work sick, the first NHS breakdown of geographical patterns has found.
The new data details the number of “fit notes” being issued by GPs across the country- with almost 7 million issued between April and December of last year.
The figures show that Knowsley in Merseyside had the highest number of cases, with 3,125 per 100,000 population.
This was more than four times as many as in Westminster, with 688 per 100,000 population.
Cheshire and Merseyside had the most such notes of any region, while London had the least.
The data from NHS Digital shows that more than one in three cases involved workers being signed off for five weeks or more.
Mental health and behavioural problems were the most common diagnosis - accounting for 33 per cent of all cases, while back pain and other muscular problems made up 17 per cent of records logged.
A fit note is issued after the first seven days of sickness absence, following a doctor’s assessment of the patient’s fitness to work.
GPs can decide if a patient is unfit for work, or could be fit for work if their workplace or job was adapted to take account of an illness or condition.
In total, 2.386 million notes were issued in the last quarter of last year - a 2 per cent rise on the same period the previous year.
Fit notes were introduced in 2010, amid promises they would reduce reliance on incapacity benefit, and help those with health problems return to work.
Other areas with high numbers of fit notes issued, relative to their populations, include Cumbria, Lancashire, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the North East. Those with low numbers include Hampshire, Thames Valley, Isle of Wight, Kent and Surrey and Sussex.

Performance analysis on a conventional distributed system consisting of a static (usually homogeneous) pool of computational resources comprises various techniques related to instrumentation, data collection, measurement, analysis and visualization. However, in a heterogeneous, dynamic environment, like grid, post-mortem analysis is of no use and data needs to be collected and analyzed in real time. Novel techniques are also required for dynamically tuning the application's performance and resource brokering in order to maintain the desired QoS. The objective of this paper is to present an agent framework for performance monitoring and analysis of applications running in grid environment and implementation of local tuning techniques for improving their performances. Results of a preliminary implementation are also presented in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the agent framework.
