Claims of age cheating quashed…

Premier Cup tournament director PJ Williams was quick to dismiss allegations of age cheating against Supersport United after reports that their goalkeeper is overage were published online.

The Pretoria side were still celebrating their 1-0 victory in the final against Ajax Cape Town when the Citizen newspaper published a story and quoted an unnamed Amazulu official as saying Supersport goalkeeper Mondli Mpoto was overage. Mpoto played a key role in Supersport’s victory, winning the goalkeeper of the tournament, following his heroics between the sticks.

The official, according to the paper, said the goalkeeper played for the club’s under-15 side eight years ago and his real age should be around 25 now. On top of that, a 2015 article was circulated in the social media and went viral. The article stated, among other things, that Mpoto was, back in 2015, 21 years old, having been born in 1994.

However, in response to the claims in the Citizen, Amazulu immediately issued a statement distancing themselves from the allegations.

Williams also issued a, saying: “After doing an internal investigation via our scrutiny system, we can confirm that Mondli Mpoto was registered correctly and without any discrepancies. All documentation for the aforementioned player was deemed true and correct with his date of birth being cited as 24 July 1998, and we also confirm that the player has been on our database since his first registration in 2014.”

Williams said Supersport United also informed them that the information on the 2015 article was a result of an error on the writer’s part.

SAN ANTONIO (FRONTLINE MEDICAL NEWS) – A novel antibody drug conjugate has shown promise in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), according to new findings presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

Sacituzumab govitecan, a novel antibody-drug conjugate, demonstrated significant clinical activity when used as a single agent among patients with relapsed/refractory disease who had already received multiple lines of therapy. The objective response rate in a cohort of more than 100 patients was 34%, and that included 3 complete responses and 34 partial responses.

“Sacituzumab govitecan demonstrated significant single-agent activity in this population,” said lead author Aditya Bardia, MD , of Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center.

“Metastatic triple-negative breast cancer is an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis that tends to affect young women,” said Dr. Bardia. “Visceral and brain metastases are very common. Currently there is no single standard chemotherapy for relapsed or refractory metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.”

He noted that the response rates to standard chemotherapy are low and that median progression-free survival is in the range of 2-3 months. The response rate to standard chemotherapy first line and beyond, based on available data, is in the range of 6-15%.

“Consequently, there is a large unmet need in the breast cancer community,” said Dr. Bardia.

Sacituzumab govitecan (IMMU-132) is an antitrophoblastic cell-surface antigen (anti–Trop-2) and humanized antibody-SN-38 conjugate, which is the active metabolite of the topoisomerase I inhibitor irinotecan. Trop-2 is highly expressed in most epithelial cancers, including TNBC. A phase 1/2 basket trial was previously conducted in a cohort with multiple, advanced epithelial cancers and showed encouraging activity.

Dr. Bardia and his group also published preliminary results earlier this year in patients with metastatic TNBC, which showed an objective response rate of 30%, and last year, sacituzumab govitecan was granted Breakthrough Designation by the Food and Drug Administration. In the current study, the authors expanded the cohort and looked at a more defined population (third-line setting or greater in metastatic TNBC).

In this study, 110 patients who had metastatic TNBC (109 female, 1 male) and had received two or more lines of therapy for metastatic disease were enrolled between July 2013 and February 2017. The cohort included 53 patients from the investigators’ previously reported study in metastatic TNBC (n=69 total). As of this study’s cutoff date (June 30, 2017), 66 patients had died, 30 were in long term follow up, and 14 were still on treatment.

All patients were treated at the 10 mg/kg dose level, receiving 14.5 median doses (range, 1-88) over a median duration of 4.9 months. Treatment was administered on day 1 and 8 in a 21 day cycle, until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Within the cohort of this heavily pretreated group, 41% received sacituzumab govitecan as third-line therapy while 59% received it at fourth line or more. The majority of patients had previously received taxanes or anthracyclines, and of note, 75% had previously received prior platinum, and 17% had previously received checkpoint inhibitors.

The clinical benefit rate, calculated using the rate of complete and partial response and stable disease greater than 6 months, was 45%. Responses were durable, with a median duration of 7.6 months by local assessment and 9.1 months by central review.

The median progression-free survival was 5.5 months (95% confidence interval, 4.8-6.6) and median overall survival was 12.7 months (95% CI, 10.8-13.6). Of the long term responders, nine have been progression free for more than a year, and four for more than 2 years. At the time of data cutoff, 12 responders were still receiving treatment.

Of note, Dr. Bardia said, patients stayed on sacituzumab govitecan longer than they had stayed on their most recent previous therapy.

The authors also conducted an exploratory subset analysis but found no difference in response when looking at age, prior regimens, onset of metastasis, the presence of visceral involvement at study entry, or Trop-2 expression.

Response among patients who had previously received checkpoint inhibitors was 47%, but Dr. Bardia cautions that “these numbers are small.”

Treatment with sacituzumab govitecan was well tolerated overall, with 2 patients discontinuing the drug because of related toxicity, and no antidrug antibodies detected. Grade 3 or greater toxicity included neutropenia (39%), leukopenia (14%), and anemia (10%); the incidence of febrile neutropenia was low (7%). There was a high rate of gastrointestinal related toxicity, but the majority were grade 1-2, and the rate of grade 3-4 “was in the single digits, ranging from 5-8%,” said Dr. Bardia. There were no drug-related deaths.

Given the high unmet medical need among patients with metastatic TNBC, data from this trial is being sent to the FDA to be considered for accelerated approval, and a global confirmatory randomized Phase 3 is now underway. “The ASCENT trial is recruiting in the United States right now,” said Dr. Bardia; this trial will include patients with metastatic TNBC who will receive either sacituzumab govitecan or physician’s choice of standard therapy.

Additional studies including rational combinations are currently being evaluated for metastatic TNBC and other breast cancer subsets.

Anatomy of Immune System

Anatomy of the Immune System

December Awareness Months and Weeks bring us a variety of topics, including three related to the immune system—WHO World AIDS Day, National Influenza Vaccination Week, and National Handwashing Week—and one to support a fun holiday season!

Anatomy of the Immune System

The immune system is one of the most complex systems within the human body, made up of both physical structures and processes, comprising a network of organs, tissues, and cells that protect the body from disease and foreign invaders. Its main function is to keep us healthy and prevent illness.

The major component of the immune system is the lymphatic system, composed of the bone marrow, spleen, and thymus gland, as well as the lymph nodes and ducts. In addition, there are specialized blood cells (lymphocytes and leukocytes) that work within the immune system.

The human immune system acts as the guardian of our physical health by providing safeguards to the outside invasion of pathogens, which include viruses and bacteria. Over the past 100 years, many organisms have been recognized by clinical researchers as pathogens, with the ability to cause harm to humans. This has led to the creation of biologics (drugs and immunizations) to fight these invaders at the cellular level.

One of the deadliest invaders of the past 50 years is the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), a disease in which there is a severe loss of the body’s cellular immunity, greatly lowering the resistance to infection and malignancy.

Since the late 1970s, more than 70 million people have been infected worldwide, with over 35 million deaths and approximately 38 million living with HIV. The disease has caused both cultural upheaval and economic devastation in many countries.

Currently, the focus is on prevention and early treatment. Every year on December 1, the World Health Organization (WHO) celebrates World AIDS Day, to bring focus to and provide education on HIV and AIDS, its prevention, and the treatment process.

Hands Up for HIV Prevention
As a footnote, the 21st International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2016) will be held in Durban South Africa in July.

The Anatomy of Immunizations

December also gives us National Influenza Vaccination Week in the U.S., which encourages people to be immunized against the influenza virus. In addition to the “flu shot”, there are many other immunizations available to prevent disease, disability, and death from a wide variety of germs (viruses and bacteria).

One of the jobs of the immune system is to protect the human body from outside invaders such as viruses and bacteria. The immune system does this by remembering a germ to which it has been exposed, reacting to it, and destroying it. In the case of communicable diseases (such as measles, mumps, rubella, and polio), the immune system can be primed to remember through an immunization (a shot) instead of the actual germ. An immunization contains killed or weakened parts of the virus or bacteria, thus stimulating the immune system to react to the material to produce antibodies, which in turn will react to the virus or bacteria the next time it is introduced into the body.

National Handwashing Week (December 4–10)

Handwashing has been called a “do-it-yourself” vaccine, for the role it plays in keeping our bodies healthy. And while it seems like a simple act, it can prevent the spread of diseases that could lead to serious disability or death.

The 4 Principles of Hand Awareness
1. Wash your hands when they are dirty and BEFORE eating
2. DO NOT cough into your hands
3. DO NOT sneeze into your hands
4. Above all, DO NOT put your fingers into your eyes, nose, or mouth

Safe Toys and Gifts Month

In 2011, an estimated 262,300 toy-related injuries were treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments—72% in children 15 years old or younger. Sometimes, choosing the right toy can be difficult, and a typical toy store can easily overwhelm even the shrewdest shopper.

When evaluating what toys to buy this year, consider the following:

  1. Children under three years old tend to put everything in their mouths, so avoid buying toys that have small parts and may pose a choking danger. Look for quality in design and construction, and follow age and safety recommendations on labels.
  2. Consider purchasing a small parts tester to determine whether small toys for children under the age of three might present a choking hazard.
  3. Toys with strings, straps, or cords longer than seven inches may pose a risk of strangulation.
  4. Toys that are constructed with thin, brittle plastic might easily break into small pieces or leave jagged edges.
  5. Avoid cap guns because the caps can be ignited by the slightest friction and cause serious burns.
  6. Avoid toys with sharp points or edges, toys that produce loud sounds, or projectiles (such as dart and firing rockets).
  7. If you buy a bicycle for a child, buy a helmet too and make sure the child wears it.
  8. Make recommendations to family members and friends about gifts that you feel are appropriate for your child.
  9. Inspect all toys as much as possible before taking them out of the box. Once opened, go through each part of the toy to make sure there are no small parts that could be choking hazards.

You can play on mobile and tablet, which means your poker games are always accessible whenever you have an Internet connection.

Great Bonuses

There is a 100% match bonus to a maximum of $500 available when you sign up at Everest. You'll also get a €10 free welcome bonus and potentially an opportunity to play poker against superstar pro Sam Trickett, who serves as Everest's ambassador.

Game Formats

There is plenty of varied action to find at Everest, with some of the available poker options as follows:

  • Texas Hold'em
  • Omaha
  • Omaha Hi Lo
  • 7 Card Stud
  • 5 Card Draw

As long as you have internet connection, you’ll be able to play your top poker games on the Everest Poker mobile app while on the move. This is a real advantage for those players that wish to utilise their time well, playing and placing bets while on their way to work, or waiting for an appointment, for instance. Online poker will be at your fingertips with this fantastic mobile app.

The Everest casino mobile app has all the features of the desktop version, making playing on the go straightforward and accessible. All you have to do is download the app on your Android or Apple device, log in, and you’re good to go. You’ll get quick access to the latest mobile casino games, including slot and table games. Plus, all the games have high quality graphics and casino sound effects making it feel just like the real thing. Take your pick of Progressive Jackpots, Live Roulette, Baccarat or Texas Hold ‘Em. You’ll also have the option to test these games out in the demo version before placing your real money bets.

The Everest Poker mobile app allows for safe and secure banking transactions, just like on the desktop version. Bonuses, promotions and challenges will keep your gaming and betting fun and exciting while you play on the mobile application.

Fish Everywhere

Everest is known throughout the circuit as a site with plenty of "fish" (aka weak novice players) swimming around. This can make it an easy mark for good wins, should you find the right rooms and come up against weaker opponents. Be wary of fish confusing things by playing with odd logic however.

Customer Service

Everest has a team on hand to answer your questions by email or via their live chat feature. This is not a 24/7 offering, but you should find your questions are answered in a prompt fashion, especially during business hours.

Multiple Languages

Being an international poker site, Everest has gone to the trouble of providing versions of its site in at least 12 languages.

VIP Program

Everest has a membership program that rewards loyal players who spend at the site. You'll benefit from special promotions and be eligible for special rewards and bonuses based on the level of VIP status you achieve.

A message to our Minnesota readers

Marine Corporal Johnathan Benson of North Branch, Minnesota was serving his second tour in Iraq when he was seriously wounded. Editor Mary Helen Swanson of the East Central Minnesota Post Review covers Corporal Benson’s story in “Hometown hero needs your support.” Ms. Swanson asks only that we write Corporal Benson and express our support while he undergoes rehabilitation, providing his address at the conclusion of her story:

Corp. Johnathan Benson
c/o Marine Liaison
Brooke Army Medical Center
3851 Roger Brooke Drive
Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234-6200

We were alerted to Swanson’s story about Corporal Benson by a message from Patrick Tepoorten, who writes:

I was hoping you might help spread the word about Corporal Johnathan Benson of North Branch, Minnesota. Mary Helen Swanson, editor of the Post Review in North Branch, has a story about this brave kid who has been wounded for the second time in Iraq.

He is in pretty rough shape this time, having lost a leg and part of an arm, as well as suffering a number of internal injuries. He is in Texas recovering right now and his family is asking that people consider sending some encouragement his way.

In the interests of full disclosure, Swanson is my editor and this is my newspaper. However, I am not looking to gain from this. I just want to get the word out. I’m hoping you might find it in your hearts to use your much larger platform to spread the word about a pretty fantastic kid fighting for us all.

Any questions can be sent here or to [email protected] during the day. Or direct questions to Swanson at [email protected]

Thanks again,

Pat Tepoorten

UPDATE: Fuzzilicious Thinking has more here; please check it out.

MORE: Reader John Furutani of Centcom has copied us on his message to Corporal Benson:

Your dedication to service and country is incredible, and your sacrifice is duly noted and thanked. In order to provide a measure of that thanks from one fellow citizen, I will be going to the Valour IT site and donating sufficient monies to fund a voice-activated laptop for your personal use.

I have been in Iraq in 2003 and Afghanistan in 2006, so I am familiar with the conditions which we ask our military to endure for the country’s sake. The fact that you have gone in country–twice—speaks well to your courage and honor.

Again, please accept my thanks on behalf of myself and my family. Please remember during your rehabilitation that you have the support and well wishes of other beyond your immediate family and community.

If any member of your family, or someone close to you, may need frequent flier miles to make the trip to San Antonio, please have them contact me [email address omitted].

The Week in Pictures: Scalia Awesomeness Edition

The picture of the week—maybe the picture of the year—is the first one here, of Justice Scalia’s clerks lined up as an honor guard at the Supreme Court yesterday. Has any other Justice in the history of the Court received such devotion from his ranks of clerks? Maybe, but I’m not aware of it. Do you think Justice Breyer, or Justice Kagan, or Justice Kennedy, or anyone else on the Court today would inspire this kind of deep act of respect? (Yes—Clarence Thomas will some day, for the same reason.)

The monumental Rialto Bridge and its surroundings reveal one of Venice's most authentic sides.

Where Venice - - Contents - BY SIMONA P.K. DAVIDDI

A MONUMENTAL LANDMARK. The Rialto Bridge is one of the most famous and widely photographed landmarks of Venice. Not only the undisputed icon of postcards and ‘selfies', but also the oldest bridge in the city (until 1854 it was the only means of crossing the Grand Canal on foot). Located in the picturesque Rialto neighbourhood, it is a heady mix of shops, eateries and architecture, where the days are marked by the cries of the vendors of its famous, bustling market and by the comings and goings of Venetians and tourists who are either in search of a traditional ‘osteria' or ‘bacaro' for an ‘ombra de vin' or a ‘cicheto', or looking to make a purchase from one of the innumerable artisanal ‘botteghe' that line its ‘calli' and ‘campielli' and flank both sides of the bridge.

FROM HISTORY TO LEGEND. The history of this iconic bridge dates back to the year 1000 when it was built as a pontoon bridge at the canal's narrowest point. Due to increased traffic it was replaced with a wooden bridge in 1181, known as the ‘Ponte della Moneta' both due to the toll that people had to pay

when crossing it and because the city's mint was located at its easternmost end. In 1250, its wooden piles were replaced by a mobile structure and its name was changed to the Rialto bridge.

A dark period followed. In fact, during this time, the bridge collapsed and was damaged several times. It was only in 1588 that the Senate of the Serenissima decided to announce a competition to finally rebuild a stone bridge. Numerous renowned architects submitted their projects, including Sansovino, Vignola and Palladio. However the daring but scenically impact-making design submitted by the aptly named Antonio da Ponte was chosen. His bridge consisted of a single 22 meter stone arch span, supported by a broad rectangular deck carrying two arcades of shops and ‘botteghe' fronting on three roadways. Legend has it that da Ponte was visited by Satan himself who, in exchange for his help, asked the architect to pledge the soul of the first person crossing the bridge to him. The architect thought that he would trick Satan by having a cock cross the bridge for the first time. However, on learning about this deception, Satan vindicated himself by tricking da Ponte's pregnant wife into crossing the bridge. Her child was stillborn, and according to legend, its soul wandered haplessly, for years, on the Rialto bridge, until a gondolier finally helped it to cross over to the other side. Even the famous street market boasts a storied past. In fact, historic documents testify to its presence way back in 1097 when it was much larger than its current counterpart and sold exotic goods and spices and precious fabrics.

THE FAMOUS MARKET. Currently Venice's market par excellence, it is divided into the Pescaria, where fish caught in the lagoon are sold, and the Erbaria, whose vendors sell only the freshest, seasonal fruit and vegetables. Although a visit to this market means elbowing one's way among throngs of Venetian shoppers, the market nevertheless boasts two gems of historic and artistic interest: a loggia dating back to 1907 featuring a blaze of maritime and symbolic decorations, including a number of esoteric elements that are mixed in with the fish, lobsters and octopi sculpted on the capitals of its colonnade. More attentive visitors will also notice a marble plaque embedded in one of its red brick facades, which shows regulations set centuries ago for minimum allowable sizes for lagoon fish.

FOR SHOPPING ADDICTS. However, Rialto also means shopping. While strolling through the ‘rione's' tiny streets or when crossing its bridge, you'll come across several unusual shops that are imbued with the atmosphere of a bygone era. These include antique shops, artisans' workshops, old book binding shops where books are still bound according to time-honoured tradition, and jewelry stores selling original creations made from Murano glass beads. On the other hand, those in search of an amazing experience, should head to the old post office which now houses the T Fondaco dei Tedeschi, a lavish, highend department store and a magnificent feat of architecture that has been updated to brilliantly balance the old with new. The building boasts a marvelous terrace offering visitors a 360-degree view over Venice.

A HUB OF COMMERCEThe Rialto Bridge is the dividing line between the districts of San Marco and San Polo. It is lined on both sides by shops, and includes 120 steps. Right, the porticos of the Rialto fish market. Below, the Erbaria market selling fruit and vegetables, and the Pescaria (fish market).

Pencils For Kids

About Wellness

Pencils For Kids, a registered charitable organization, provides education, training and income-generating opportunities for children and women in Niger, West Africa.

Sharpening the minds of the future

It all started with 30 kids sharing 1 pencil.

  • Canadian charity run solely by volunteers, with no paid staff
  • 95% - 97% of every donation goes directly to our projects

Their story

It all began in the fall of 2005 when Canadian athletes participated in the “The Games of La Francophonie” in Niger, West Africa. During the Games a group of athletes visited a school in Liboré, a commune outside Niamey, the capital of Niger.

Learn more about the origins of this incredible organization by clicking HERE

Farmers of the Future
Empowering women and youth to approach farming as a business, thereby increasing economic opportunity and significantly reducing poverty.

Pencils for Kids (P4K) is piloting the first Farmers of the Future program with Dov Pasternak and ICRISAT to teach children in primary school how to grow vegetables and fruits, use drip irrigation, market their produce and invest their earnings. The first site for P4K was inaugurated in February 2010 in the village of Guireguinde in Liboré, Niger. It is a move from subsistence agriculture to agribusiness.

“The Farmers of the Future program is the brainchild of Professor Dov Pasternak an agricultural scientist with fifty years experience in dry regions. The program is done in partnership with an American NGO, Eliminate Poverty Now."

Learn more about Pencils For Kids Farmers of the Future program HERE

Sewing Program
Training girls to become tailors in Liboré at the Cooper Sewing Centre in order to earn a living from a trade.

Pencils For Kids noticed there were many girls who simply could not stay in school for a variety of reasons.

  • They were needed at home
  • They were married young
  • Their parents didn’t understand why educating girls mattered

How could we help them to earn a living and contribute to their families?

The Cooper Sewing Centre and Store are now located in the new Education and Apprenticeship Centre, built by Pencils for Kids in 2016.

To learn more about the Sewing Program click HERE

Scholarships for Girls
Our scholarships pay for books, uniforms, food allowances and most importantly 8 hours of additional tutoring weekly in 2-3 subjects.

The Beginning
Beginning in the 2009/2010 school year, P4K launched its Scholarships for Girls program, offering scholarships to four girls in the Madougou CES Secondary School in Liboré, and 39 girls in the Junior High School.

The results were outstanding, and the girls excelled in their studies, moving on to the next grade level.

The most remarkable transformation has been in the community itself – parents encouraging all their daughters to attend school, strive for excellence and reach for their potential. This change of mindset has impacted far more families and girls than the scholarship beneficiaries themselves.

Amandla Stenberg to Sexual Assault Survivors: 'You Are Not Alone'

Amandla Stenberg Opens Up about her Experiences with Sexual Assault in
Zachary Zane

Amandla was steadily breathing in her hotel room as she live-streamed Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony on national television. Listening to Dr. Ford inspired Amandla to open up about her experiences with sexual assault in a powerful op-ed for Teen Vogue.

The 19-year-old actress and star of The Hate U Give detailed her two experiences of sexual assault, the first when she was younger and felt as if she had no choice but to go along with the actions of her assaulter.

“I felt I only had two options,” she wrote. “I could A) voice my discomfort and protest, probably to be met with further force and/or male disapproval or B) convince myself that this was something I wanted. I chose the latter out of self-preservation and to placate male desire. I had not consented, but I had not said no.”

The second experience was more recent and initially started off consensually. Stenberg says she protested everything while it happened and was “silenced verbally and physically.” After the encounter, Stenberg woke up to a text message telling her to go find Plan B.

Initially, she blamed herself. “This was my fault for not having been smarter.”

But with the help of Dr. Ford and other survivors speaking up against their abusers, she’s come to realize, “It is not your fault. It is not your responsibility to figure this out by yourself. It is not your responsibility to sacrifice your comfort to gratify others. Assault can look like many different things. Consent is continual. You are not dirty. You are not stupid. You are not weak for needing help. You are not defined by this. You are not alone. You are loved. Cry if you need to. Breathe. Your breath and your body belong wholly to you.”

This test focuses on aspects of the economy that can change as often as daily.

These questions come from the board game WONKS, which like MONOPOLY is designed to entertain and enlighten at the same time. Believe me, there are some mind-blowing stats out there. The answers to these questions can be found at official sites or professional sites that cull the official statistics.

The links are provided. But no cheating! Do take a guess first … and have fun!

1) How much do Americans spend not on death but on Taxes? Out of the work year, when do Americans quit working to pay for taxes on income, sales, buildings (property), and imports (tariffs)?

2) Currently, the US federal government collects taxes totaling $3.4 trillion annually, yet spends much more than that most years. (Gee, why can’t we all do that?) After years of this, by now how much is the Federal Gov’t’s Debt?

3) In the recent past, “experts” said it’s normal for Americans to spend a quarter of their income on Housing. Are you normal? Now days, what percent of median income goes to mortgage or lease (“rent”)?

4) You’ve heard Americans have the best medical system that most Americans can not afford to use, thanks to the huge markup on medicine and medical products and services. Out of gross national income, what how much goes to getting well (hopefully)?

5) To afford the cost of living, how much do average Americans earn? If you don’t make that much, don’t feel too bad since very high incomes pull up the average. Anyway, how much is the Mean Income?

6) Most recently, taking into account inflation, did most Americans’ Real Earnings rise or fall?

7) When you go shopping, how far does your dollar go? How much is the current or most recent Inflation Rate, officially or corrected?

8) To take their mind off money matters, how much do Americans spend on Entertainment? Out of the mean income of working Americans, what percent goes to going to the movies, a sporting event, a park, etc?

9) What’s the most Common Leisure activity by far, and is it yours?

10) Among fun stuff Americans do, in what place does Game-Playing come in?

Children's Craft: Parenting Workshop

Men Art Therapy September.jpg

Any parent of a young child could tell you how isolating parenting can be in our modern world. Specifically, when your world is unfamiliar or new, raising a young child is an intimidating feat. That’s why ARTogether decided to build a community group for parents of young children, particularly refugee or immigrant parents, through a fun, interactive art workshop. The workshop, held at the Jewish Family and Community Services center of the East Bay, brought together a diverse set of mothers from the Bay Area for a relaxing, bonding experience with their little ones.

When the parents arrived at JFSC, few knew what to expect from this “child-parent bonding art workshop.” Nevertheless, the room soon filled up with six moms and their children ready to make art. ARTogether, a local nonprofit that seeks to connect refugees and immigrants to the Bay Area arts community, organized the workshop and brought the materials for the project. The moms smiled with excitement when they realized the workshop would consist of making their very own homemade playdough.

Children Flag Making Workshop-2.jpg

The workshop started with a fun ice breaking activity during which the moms introduced themselves and their children, and then everyone gathered together for a singing activity. The singing seemed to break the children out of their shells -- the music got louder and the children became more comfortable in their new environment. The children moved shyly away from their mothers’ sides, and the moms immediately began talking amongst themselves. As they mixed the materials for their playdough, the women shared their stories and laughed while the children patiently waited to smush playdough between their fingers.

Yalda Mobasher, one of the event facilitators, explained how playdough is a great material for children’s creativity because of its soft texture and versatility. The sensory dough allows children use their hands to create anything they can imagine; there are no boundaries. Furthermore, the durability of playdough allows children to explore their interests because their art creations can constantly be transformed into something new. While the children experimented with the playdough, the moms reflected on how difficult it can be to keep young children entertained for long periods of time. Even though they all agreed that keeping children happy can be quite frustrating at times, the moms helped each other by sharing tips and fun activities they’ve tried to avoid reverting to screens.

When the workshop ended, the women thanked ARTogether and JSFC for the workshop. After expressing interest in attending another parent-child art workshop in the future, many of the mothers exchanged contact information in order to stay connected.

Parallelism Constraints

Katrin E. Erk, Joachim Niehren

International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, Vol. 1833 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science, pp. 110--126, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2000

Parallelism constraints are logical desciptions of trees. They are as expressive as context unification, i.e. second-order linear unification. We present a semi-decision procedure enumerating all most general unifiers of a parallelism constraint and prove it sound and complete. In contrast to all known procedures for context unification, the presented procedure terminates for the important fragment of dominance constraints and performs reasonably well in a recent application to underspecified natural language semantics.

Seaport Enhanced

In 2002, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) promulgated Seapower 21. Seapower 21 provides a framework to align, organize and integrate the U.S. Navy to meet the wide variety of challenges that lie ahead. The CNO called upon the entire Navy to find ways to become more efficient and effective. To meet Seapower 21 objectives and to increase efficiency, the NAVSEA Warfare Centers established the Seaport Enhanced (Seaport-e) Multiple Award Contract (MAC) vehicle, using a web-based, e-business procurement Portal, to facilitate performance-based service acquisition, leverage buying power, improve business intelligence and reduce cycle time. In October 2004, the Virtual SYSCOM Commanders formalized an agreement to expand the ordering community of Seaport-e to include all Virtual SYSCOM activities and to leverage the success of SeaPort-e in achieving the aforementioned objectives across the Virtual SYSCOM.

In the SEAPORT Enhanced (SEAPORTe) Multiple Award Contract (MAC), the Naval Undersea Warfare Centers, the Naval Sea Systems Command and all of their Field Activities, Naval Air Systems Command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, Military Sealift Command, Naval Facilities Command, Strategic Systems Programs, and the United States Marine Corps, have established a mechanism to work efficiently and effectively across the entire Navy Acquisition Enterprise to acquire Engineering, Technical, and Programmatic Support Services that potentially span the entire spectrum of mission areas supported by the activities and technical capabilities that comprise the various ordering offices. Additionally, activities may provide limited support under this contract to other Department of Defense (DoD), non-DoD, or Joint agencies for work that is integrally related to product areas and mission. These Services span twenty-two Functional Areas in support of twelve core Product Areas.

3 Secrets of Great Warehouses That Nearly Everyone Misses

3 Secrets of Great Warehouses That Nearly Everyone Misses

Posted on December 28, 2016

3-secrets-of-great-warehouses-that-nearly-everyone-misses-2If you’re a business looking for a third-party logistics provider to store your merchandise, it only seems fair that you’d want to know the secret to a good warehouse. Your choice could ultimately influence your business in either positive or negative ways, so putting forth the effort in finding the right warehouse for you is extraordinarily important. Warehouse operations differ with each 3PL provider, and each of them will have their own tricks of the trade that make their business successful. Here are some secrets that could make the difference in your decision to choose a warehouse that’s the right fit for you.

1. Freight.

With the number of warehouses in the US, freight is still a relatively underutilized means to transport merchandise and products across great distances. The plus side of the railway is that mostly anything can be shipped by rail. While trucks can be a good solution for goods traveling short distances, the farther a product needs to travel, the better a solution railway can become. With railways, there is a potential for limited stops, meaning your products could reach their destination in a much shorter amount of time. This is especially nice for companies that are shipping raw goods or foods that have a small timeframe in which they need to be sold and utilized.

Many companies are still hung up on only transporting goods through the use of trucks, but freight opens up many different doors for transportation. It provides some cost-saving measures through fuel usage and even works to deliver products in a shorter span of time.

2. Warehouse operations.

There are a few things that can make for a great warehouse. The way it’s operated and organized is one of those key factors that can make it efficient. The real estate of a warehouse can use complex organization sheets or it could use a common sense approach such as expected time to pick (ETP). On average, picking is a much more time-consuming activity than put away since it’s where the most labor is utilized. If a warehouse optimizes their slotting to ensure that pallet positions and storage match the flow of goods than overall everything is much more organized and concise. It’s all about keeping like products together, so shipments become easier to fulfill.

Additionally, we all know that having large batches means more of something is being made or produced. In this instance, the batch orders refer to bulk orders. Instead of shipping one item at a time, you can ship things in bulk, which would make your operations much more productive. There would be no need to revisit the same location consistently because all of one shipment would be sent out at the same time.

This type of shipping makes sense for any company that frequently ships large quantities. It could aid in cost saving measures, which would make both the 3PL and the companies they provide services for quite happy.

3. Bright ways to save.

Many warehouses are still utilizing fluorescent lights within their facility. An interesting fact about fluorescent lights is that they have an automatic 15-minute timeout period, which put simply means it takes 15 minutes for the lights to turn off completely. That’s money going out of your pocket simply for lights. LED lights don’t share this same 15-minute turn-off period. Instead, they only use a 30-second timeout period, which maximizes energy savings. Fifteen minutes versus 30 seconds, it’s a no-brainer. When you upgrade your warehouse from fluorescent from LED, you can save approximately 60% in energy costs alone. In addition to cost savings, LED lights are also better for employees. There have been numerous studies between light conditions and the human performance. When we work for long periods in terrible lighting, it can lead to fatigue, which often makes us sluggish and not as efficient. On the flip side, when we work under appropriate lighting we can remain more alert and work much more efficiently.

There are no foolproof methods to create a cohesive warehouse. It’s all about each aspect of the warehouse coming together to create a well-organized machine, and these three details are a step in the right direction.

Weird History Gladiator Might Be One of The Most Historically Inaccurate Movies Ever

Setareh Janda
30.4k views 14 items

The writers and directors of Gladiator would seriously flunk a history class. Though the film is ridiculously fun and has held up pretty well since its release in 2000, it often provides entertainment at the expense of fact. In taking a look at the historical facts Gladiator got wrong, it becomes clear that the film puts story over substance. Known as one of Ridley Scott’s best moviesGladiator was one of the first commercially and critically successful films of the 21st century. And though it won Oscars and brought in piles of money at the box office, its success meant that audiences became familiar with a fictional ancient Rome.

From falsely portrayed historical figures to inaccurate social patterns, historical errors in Gladiator abound. The bad history in the film doesn’t mean that it is a bad movie. It just means that viewers should turn to a history book, rather than this sword-and-sandals epic, to learn a thing or two about the Roman world. Check out all the things that are historically inaccurate in Gladiator

No, Commodus Didn't Murder His Dad

No, Commodus Didn't Murder His... is listed (or ranked) 1 on the list Gladiator Might Be One of The Most Historically Inaccurate Movies Ever
Photo:  Paramount Pictures

One of the most dramatic, heartbreaking moments in the film happens within the first 35 minutes: Commodus, the troubled, wounded son and expectant heir of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, strangles his father when he learns that he intends to revive the republic and make Maximus the protector of Rome. It's a chilling moment that succictly tells the audience everything it needs to know about Commodus. The only problem? The young Emperor never actually killed his own father.

Marcus Aurelius died in 180 AD while leading a military campaign against northern Germanic tribes. While historians still debate what specifically caused his death (some claim it was the plague, since it had stricken his army), one thing is for certain: he did not die at the hands of his son and heir. In fact, his health had been deteriorating for a while before he passed away.

Lucilla Didn't Get A Happy Ending

Lucilla Didn't Get A Happy... is listed (or ranked) 2 on the list Gladiator Might Be One of The Most Historically Inaccurate Movies Ever
Photo:  Paramount Pictures

Lucilla is one of the most interesting characters in the film. The film constantly suggests that she would make a better ruler than her brother, and she is clearly intelligent, thoughtful, and capable of acting against things she perceives to be wrong. Gladiator ends with her mourning Maximus' death, but relieved that her son was now safe from Commodus.

However, the real Lucilla had a far more dramatic story. She was married off twice to her father's political allies, even as she cultivated a mind of her own. After her brother succeeded their father as Emperor, Lucilla became concerned over his behavior and came to the conclusion that he had to go.

With the help of her lover, Lucilla orchestrated an assassination attempt to rid Rome of her brother. The plot failed and Lucilla was banished to the island of Capri, where she was later executed.

Commodus Was Way More Terrible Than The Film Shows

Commodus Was Way More Terrible... is listed (or ranked) 3 on the list Gladiator Might Be One of The Most Historically Inaccurate Movies Ever
Photo:  Paramount Pictures

Joaquin Phoenix's Commodus comes across as a sniveling, complex villain who is emotionally wounded by a distant father and craves the love of his people. Some of the most horrible things he does is he murders his father, wants to sleep with his sister, and threatens the life of his nephew. The historical Commodus was actually way, way worse.

He was a major gladiator fanboy, had delusions of becoming a gladiator himself, and even frequently appeared in arenas. Commodus even fought in the Colosseum with wooden swords against harmless opponents and pretended to be Hercules. He even renamed Rome after himself and was also a prolific killer of animals.

Worst of all, he actually dressed up disabled people as mythological creatures in one of his gladiatorial spectacles simply so he could slaughter them.

Marcus Aurelius Had No Intention Of Returning Rome To A Republic

Marcus Aurelius Had No Intenti... is listed (or ranked) 4 on the list Gladiator Might Be One of The Most Historically Inaccurate Movies Ever
Photo:  Paramount Pictures

The film holds up Marcus Aurelius as a virtuous, model Emperor. That judgment is underscored by the fact that he wants to return Rome to a republic, something it hadn't been since at least 27 BC. Though it is true that Marcus Aurelius craved a simpler life, there is absolutely no evidence that Marcus Aurelius intended to reinstate a republic.

In fact, his quest for territory in the Germanic lands cultivated his public image as a warrior-emperor, and he was perhaps more of an imperialist than his son, who ended his father's expensive northern campaigns. In addition, behaviors like grooming his son to become Emperor points to the fact that he did not have any intention of restoring a republic.

The film is thus misleading in its depiction of Marcus Aurelius' political intentions.

Publish or Perish

There is a common expression among professional academics, "Pubish or perish". Thank god blogs aren't like that, 'cause I would be dead. Hang on, though; I just checked my site stats and whadda ya know, blogs ARE like that! I am pretty much dead! Go an' figger!

My extended absence from this space wasn't planned or expected or any of that. I honestly hope that the friends I've made here swing 'round again when I start writing regularly once more. I have a problem with my creative outlets it would seem because I am prone to lengthy outages. This is the first long one with the blog, but similar things have happened with guitar and stuff before.

Rather than go into a lengthy exploration of why I stop and start, which is useful to no one, I think maybe I'll just post some stuff from while I wasn't writing here, like this:

Yes, I traveled a bit while I was gone... I'm hoping to keep it highly mysterious, like scooby-do mysterious. Why would a guy like me be taking pictures of posters in Slovakia? What? Why? Were there bikes? Well, no, there were no bikes, sorry.

I've been looking at some of my older posts and feeling like I used to write good stuff, but not lately. It might happen again, but if not I've always got some helmet cam video worth showing, thank goodness. I won't ask you to stay tuned because my return is still sort of fragile, but if you feel like it, come back again. There might actually be something to see or read.

And Oh Yeah, Merry Whatever Floats Your Spiritual Boat!
 Yer Pal,

Good to see you back, Rantwick! Hope your recent adventures were epic. Merry WAHOO to you!

P.S. I posted this once before, but it got eaten. If it shows back up, feel free to delete one of them. :)

Steve A said...

It's been very HARD holding my breath so I could really enjoy this post! Regarding the photos, was the last one a Holiday Inn Express?

cafiend said...

We all clapped our hands to show we believed. And here you are!

RANTWICK said...

Hey, thanks all!

Steve, it was indeed a holiday inn, but not express. If anything it was the nicest Holiday Inn I've ever seen, more like a Hilton or something like that.

Chris Underwood said...

Good to see you back again! Your somewhat zany sense of humour has been missed.

GreenBici said...

Happy New Year, Patrick!
Peace :)

Carolyn said...

Great to see you back! I feel that I am sometimes the same way. I am backlogged on my posts though. :)

rlove2bike said...

Yep...great to see a post. Blogging has been ht or miss on my end. :-)

Building Python3.6.2 with optimizations

Thu Aug 03, 2017 5:31 pm

If I try configuring python3.6.2 with --enable-optimisations and this causes it to segfault gcc during make.
It seems to build OK with a plain ./configure and make.
The error recommends a full bug report - has anyone also had this?

It's very hard to provide help without seeing the actual error you are getting.

Entering crystall ball mode...

--enable-optimizations for python build enables lto and profiling, it also runs a set of lenghty and expensive tests, lto linking requires vast amounts of ram.
It's possible that gcc segfaults due to OOM (out of memory).

Run dmesg after crash - if you see OOM errors then my crystal ball still works.

Try increasing your swap{file,partition} to 4-8 GB.

It's a little while after the earlier posts, but in case it's useful to anyone trying something similar, I managed to successfully compile Python 3.6 (specifically 3.6.4)

My set up is a RPi 3 running Rasbian Jessie Lite

I did the following steps, based on the URL given but for 3.6.4 with the optimisations and LTO enabled (wasn't 100% sure that LTO did anything as I didn't spot any output referring to it, but it didn't seem to do any harm!). ... pberry-pi/
