(Lanka-e-News -25.July.2020, 11.30PM)
Between 10th July and 17th July, over 1,250 positive test results were recorded, of which just over 800 are associated with the new Kandakadu cluster. Public Health Inspectors (PHIs) had been trying to alert the national task force and health ministry about the large number of inmates showing respiratory symptoms at Kandakadu for days, but were only taken seriously when 40 samples tested at Sri Jayawardenapura came back positive in a single day.
As of Tuesday (21) morning, 92 patients being treated in a makeshift military hospital near Kandakadu were in serious condition, suffering from severe respiratory illness and high fever. Medical officials have sought their urgent transfer to Colombo or another hospital with the appropriate facilities to care for them, but the army commander has denied permission to move the patients on the basis that they are prisoners who cannot be moved without a court order.
New patients from the cluster have since been identified from Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Gampaha, Ratnapura, Colombo and Kalutara. Over 3,500 people selected by the military have been placed into makeshift quarantine centres staffed by soldiers instead of qualified medical personnel. PHIs across the country told AIP that there is strong evidence of widespread COVID-19 infection across the community despite government denials and attempts to hide the spread of the virus until the general election.
Health officials and even some task force members have warned the government to close down all schools, universities, factories and other crowded areas in the eight districts where they suspect the disease is spreading, but the government agreed only to close universities. The President and Defence Ministry has said that more widespread closures will only be permitted in the Northern and Eastern provinces.
Uniformed military officers in army vehicles have thereafter forcibly abducted over 80 'suspected' COVID-19 patients and their families from impoverished areas in Kekirawa, Shawastipura, Ambalantota and Neluwa, without informing PHIs or local government agents ('grama sevakas'). PHIs were later informed that these people have been taken to quarantine camps. The method of forcible removal is similar to that used by the military on suspected Muslim COVID-19 patients in the Kalutara and Kandy districts earlier in the year.
The Sri Jayawardenapura testing lab has come under fire for releasing positive test results to the requesting physicians without authorization from the task force, which is how news of the Kandakadu cluster first became public. The lab has stopped testing samples after its results were contradicted by the government, which called several hundred of their tests "false positives."
In fact, it is almost impossible for COVID-19 PCR tests to deliver false positive results. False negatives are much more common. Guidance from School of Medicine at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published on 13th May 2020 describes the test procedure as follows:
"The PCR test for COVID-19 works by detecting genetic material from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The genetic material from SARS-CoV-2 cannot be confused with the genetic material from other viruses, so the COVID-19 diagnostic test is highly specific. This means it almost never gives a false positive. If you are tested for COVID-19, and the test comes back positive, you can be very sure that you are infected with this virus."
The same MIT guidance warns that false negative results occur "relatively often", meaning that many people who test negative for the virus may actually be infected. This is exactly what researchers at Sri Jayawardenapura University had also tried to warn the government about, based on their careful study of test kids widely used in Sri Lanka. They were ignored. The research was ultimately submitted to the Journal of the Ceylon College of Physicians, showing that several test kits had a false negative rate of over 30%. The university has now refused to test further samples due to government pressure, to protect the reputation of the university and its faculty from government attack.
The Chairman of the University Grants Commission (UGC) Sampath Amaratunge, a former Vice Chancellor of the University and acting Vice Chancellor Sudantha Liyanage, whose wife is a UGC member, have reprimanded university staff and warned them against making further statements that would embarrass the president or government.
Since the Sri Jayawardenapura incident, other labs around the country have locked down the dissemination of test results, communicating all results only through military officers designated by the task force or by the health ministry secretary, who too is an army general. According to officials with access to data held by the task force, at least 3,100 positive patients have been identified as of 10:00 am today. Where the government is unable to demonstrate a direct link between a patient and a known cluster, the results have been suppressed.
Sri Lanka is one of few countries in which people are not regularly and repeatedly encouraged to come forward and seek COVID-19 testing if they are experiencing respiratory symptoms. This is a deliberate policy choice by the President and his task force, overruling health officials, to minimize the known spread of the virus. Many doctors have also warned their patients against seeking testing, for fear that both doctor and patient and their families may be forced into quarantine. Instead doctors routinely encourage patients to self-quarantine if they feel sick unless they require emergency care.
The self-censorship is most evident in a dramatic decline in the detection of influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) by the influenza surveillance program of the Health Ministry's Epidemiology Unit. There are typically several thousand patients per month with such symptoms but since March 2020 the Epidemiology Unit has reported under 200 cases a month of these kinds of illnesses. Public health experts assess that these low numbers can only be the result of dramatic underreporting.
The government rarely issues a test result on samples collected from people who they believe may test positive for COVID-19, with exceptions being tests conducted on people traced to quarantine centres, prisons or rehabilitation camps. The government has identified just under 3,000 persons in the cabinet, military, police, public service and Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna who may come into contact with the President or his close associates. These people, predominantly military personnel, are tested on rotation every three days, at a rate of just under 1,000 per day.
Compared to other countries who claim to have largely contained the virus, Sri Lanka tests far fewer members of its population. The country's rate of tests that are positive is significantly higher and more erratic than the rates seen in Australia, New Zealand, South Korea or Taiwan. Sri Lanka's positive rate averages around 1.9%, while the rates of these countries are six times lower, at approximately 0.3%.
Australia is an example of a country with approximately the same population as Sri Lanka. Due to its small landmass, Sri Lanka is 110 times more densely populated, or congested, than Australia is. There have been around 12,000 cases detected in Australia, or 4.5 times as many as have been detected in Sri Lanka. However, Australia has performed nearly 3.5 million tests, or 25 times as many tests as have been performed in Sri Lanka.
Given the high and erratic rate of positive test results in Sri Lanka, and the published evidence of a high false negative rate, both local and international health experts believe that if Sri Lanka drastically scaled up testing and bolstered public confidence in coming forward to get tested, several thousand more cases could be detected and tens of thousands could be prevented. The disease will not be under control in Sri Lanka or any other country until a low portion of test results, approximately 0.2%, come back positive, for at least a month period. These criteria and observations are shared by public health experts in the United Kingdom and European Union, which have declined to allow travel from Sri Lanka during their phased reopening.
After several months of raising objections to their being left out of the decision making process, and of the military interfering with and taking credit for their work, the PHI union has begun a strike, and withdrawn from COVID-19 detection and prevention work. These health inspectors have been working seven days a week since the crisis began. They are on the frontline of contact tracing efforts and identifying potential patients and new clusters. In many cases they have been separated from their families for months due to the need to self-isolate in their dangerous work. Several still sleep on desks in their offices.
Despite their heavy burden, the government has refused to pay their entitled emoluments such as overtime and regular allowances, claiming that it is short of funds. After several months of empty promises, the PHIs begun to strike, resulting in a 60% drop in the identification of new samples for COVID-19 testing. The government has not been affected by the strike, as it considers a decline in case detections to be a boon to them until the elections are concluded.
Article 14 (1) (i) of the Constitution guarantees that every Sri Lankan citizen has an unrestricted fundamental right to return to Sri Lanka. While Article 15 permits certain restrictions on several other fundamental rights such as freedom of speech or assembly, the freedom to return to Sri Lanka is an unrestricted right that cannot be abridged by the government under any circumstances. However, as of this week, at least 82 Sri Lankan citizens stranded in the Middle East have died. Most of the dead had lobbied vociferously for the government to arrange their repatriation. The government had however taken a policy decision against returning these mostly lower-middle income citizens to Sri Lanka. Over 1,100 Sri Lankans remain stuck in the Middle East. Neither the Foreign Ministry nor the Foreign Employment Bureau are responsive to their queries on when or whether they will be allowed to return.
The Health Ministry delayed the publication of social distancing rules for the elections until the majority of government campaigning was complete. The guidelines were only issued on 17th July when the Election Commission warned the Health Ministry and the President that they may be compelled to postpone the election once again unless the guidelines were issued. The rules themselves are tailored to prioritise campaigning and pleasing politicians over containing the virus. For example, Regulation 3 states that the number of persons attending an election meeting shall not exceed three hundred. The rule then makes an exclusion: "provided, however, where the leader of a political party or an independent group participates at such meeting, the number of persons attending such meeting shall not exceed five hundred."
The Sri Lanka Podujana Alliance (SLPA) and Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) alliances are both composed of multiple smaller political parties such as the Mahajana Ekshath Peramuna (MEP) and Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) in the SLPA, the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) and Upcountry People's Front (UPF) in the SJB. Effectively most election meetings can now bypass the 300-person limit.
The Attorney General has already indicted SJB candidate Champika Ranawaka. The President has also instructed that charges be filed against UNP candidate Ravi Karunanayake, All Ceylon Makkal Congress (ACMC) leader Rishard Bathiudeen, SJB candidate Rajitha Senaratne, Swiss Embassy employee Garnier Francis and attorney Hejaaz Hisbullah, all prior to the election. The Attorney General has responded that it will not be possible to charge Hisbullah before the election, but that the others can be indicted on time.
The President is extremely confident of securing at least a simple majority, and possibly even a two-thirds majority in the forthcoming elections. The Ministry of Defence has prepared a radical plan to lock down and contain COVID-19 after the new Parliament sits, including an effort to increase testing to over 25,000 samples a day and to ramp up the forced quarantine program.
The President has also decided to appoint a major general to the post of Inspector General of Police, after the Constitutional Council is replaced under the new Parliament. The two shortlisted candidates are incumbent Chief of National Intelligence, General Jagath Alwis, and General W.A. Wanniarachchi, a former Director of Military Intelligence who has been implicated in the disappearance of journalist Prageeth Eknaligoda and the murder of journalist Lasantha Wickrematunge.

Literature ennobles and enlightens. Most of the time. But when outlaws and crooks turn reading and writing into accessories to their crimes, we Book 'Em.
Just the facts: An Ohio woman escapes from prison during a trip to the library.
When books are cited as agents of liberation, it's usually meant in a figurative sense. Not so for Nicole Lyons, a twenty-four-year-old prisoner at Lorain County Community Based Correctional Facility in Elyria, Ohio, who went missing on October 29th after a group of inmates were allowed a visit to a bookmobile, which seems to have parked outside, rather than within, the prison gates. Lorain County sheriff Sgt. Donald Barker had the unlucky task of explaining that Lyons didn't return with her fellow prisoners. Perhaps some earlier reading had inspired Lyons's casual escape: "A Walk to Remember," "The Count of Monte Cristo," "Freedom"?
There is a sturdy tradition of prison literature through the ages—from the opening section of "Don Quixote" to "Letter from Birmingham Jail"—and a robust and praiseworthy network of prison libraries, mobile book trucks that travel to jails, and reading programs throughout the country. Libraries may seem like rather cushy places for convicted criminals, but anyone who takes the rehabilitation role of prisons seriously must recognize the value that books and literacy education offer the incarcerated. (For a personal account of this issue, check out Avi Steinberg's "Running the Books: The Adventures of an Accidental Prison Librarian," about his time as a steward of books at the Suffolk County House of Correction, in Boston.)
Less clear, however, is just what reading material should be offered in prison libraries. This question emerged in Connecticut during the recent trial of one of the men charged with the grisly, horrific murder of a woman and her two daughters in Chesire in 2007. (That man, Steven Hayes, was convicted on October 5th, and on Monday, was sentenced to death.) At one point in the trial, a request by the defense to bar mention of books that Hayes had read while previously serving time in jail sparked speculation as to just what the potentially incendiary titles might have been. A review last month of libraries in the Connecticut prison system by the Associated Press found that inmates "have access to true crime books and works of fiction that depict murder and graphic violence, with no apparent restrictions based on a reader's criminal history." A state senator has vowed to pass legislation to restrict such material from being offered in libraries; the A.C.L.U. has objected.
What characterizes appropriate reading for the incarcerated, and who decides—those are thorny, difficult questions. The Ohio case provides a much clearer lesson: prison libraries are most effective when they manage to confine the prisoners.
Verdict: "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" meets "Keystone Kops."

I believe in talking to spirits.
My aunt over the past several years had been battling cancer. She had stage 4 Melanoma(which stage four is the worst). She past away in 2007 leaving behind family and friends. Ever since she has past i can always hear a faint voice when I go to do things.
At first this scared me, but I thought, what if my aunt is trying to stay in touch with me? When I hear these voices I try to talk to back to let her know that im doing well. Yes it sounds crazy, but keeping in touch with loved ones that have past is amazing!
Ever since this has happened I have felt lucky. I have a gardiuan angel with me 24/7. And knowning that she is guiding me through life, makes me want succeed in life.

Today's question is: Who knows what, and when?
Sometimes concepts from my day job cross-over into my writing. This week another one cropped up – The Johari Window.
It's often used for improving communication, team building, and personal development. I think it also has a direct application to creative writing:
The four-panes of the window map out the information that is known to an individual and/or to others. Or, in the case of fiction, what is know to a character and what is know to the reader. It is a simple square divided into four quadrants, as so:
- The things that known to both the reader and the character: Known as the open window
- Things that are known to the reader but NOT the character: I call this the secret window
- Things that are known by the character but not to the reader: I think of this as the mirrored window (those on the outside can't see in)
- Things that are known by neither the reader nor the character: I like to think of this as the dirty window
1. The Open Window
The Open Window starts off pretty much non-existant, since when you open a book you have no information about the character. Some books immediately start trying to help you out with this:
"Jenny ran her long fingers through her blonde hair as she studied her tall, slender frame in the mirror".
That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but that's the writer pulling down the sash, pretty brutally. Of course, increasing what a reader knows can be done much more subtly, through dialogue, clues, the character's actions and through a drip-feed of pertinent information. Even if you feel you know your character well, the reader's intimacy with the character should increase gradually over time.
2. The Secret Window
In the secret window, the reader has information that the character does not. This can be simple information (Jenny is being stalked!), or can involve deep issues which the character can't face, and yet can be seen by others. For example the reader sees Jenny's drinking habits and realise she is an alcoholic, but Jenny has not understood this herself. Information kept in this window can be used to build tension (as with the stalker), or empathy, making the reader want to reach out and help the character…
3. The Mirrored Window
This is information that the character knows about him/herself that readers do not. Perhaps she lost her parents in an accident, perhaps she is really a man. Perhaps she likes chips for tea. Perhaps she lied when she said she loved Geoff. The writer will choose how much of this information to share with the reader throughout the story, but the information will always affect the character's actions.
4. The Dirty Window
The reader doesn't know, the character doesn't know, so who does know? Ah yes, that would be you, the author. For example, Jenny is pregnant, but she has no idea. Or she is courageous but has not yet had a chance to prove it. Or, subconsciously, she still not forgiven her father for not taking her to the circus in 1975. Information in this square drives your character's actions and through character development and plotting, more information becomes known to the character herself.
So at the end of the story, the open window is bigger and the others have shrunk. We feel like we've got to know the character better, and the character has grown as a person. Critically, though, the other windows have not vanished all together. If we want to write a sequel, maybe Jenny will still be unaware she has a stalker, and unless it's really important to the plot, we may never find out that Jenny likes chips for tea.
Keeping track of who knows what is particularly important during the editing stage of writing a novel, when whole chunks of action can get moved around. What do you think, could using this idea help?

Dressing For Lust
Even though you may be madly in love with your partner, that doesn't mean that you should ignore the lustful part of your relationship. You most likely only began talking to each other because of the physical attraction you had for one another in the first place, so it is obvious that this element of the relationship is something that should remain for the entirety of the relationship.
But many couples fall into the trap of getting too comfortable with each other, leaving them to dress down rather than dress up when they are around their loved ones. Think about it – when you were first on the dating scene, you probably wore your best outfits to make you look sexy, or distinguished, or well-off, all in order to stand out to potential mates, including your current boyfriend or girlfriend. Yet now, when you are around that very same man or woman for whom you put so much effort in to attract, you dress in sweatpants and oversized t-shirts.
This is especially true on days when you spend most of the day inside the comfort of your own place, since you have even less of an incentive to dress up for other people in public, let alone for your own partner.
While being comfortable with your partner is obviously good in that they can love you even at your worst, it doesn't mean that it has to become the standard for how you dress around one another. This can actually make the relationship go south, and rather quickly.
By not dressing up to a certain standard, you make yourself look like you don't care about not only the other person, but also about your own physical appearance, both of which are turn offs to the other person.
In addition, dressing down to often can actually lead you to change other aspects of your life, including your diet and exercise routines, which can ultimately end with you actually physically becoming less attractive beyond the clothes you wear.
Now, this is all a simple fix – just dress your best, even when you are alone with your partner. Don't forget about the initial physical spark that drew you two together, and keep in mind that rekindling that spark can be as simple as wearing a tight pair of jeans or a nice dress shirt around the house if you are a man, or wearing a skimpy skirt or other sexy outfit if you are a woman.
These small changes can even lead to more sex if both of you put in an effort to showing that the physical attraction is still important in the relationship. But even if it doesn't, by dressing for lust you and your partner will keep the relationship from going south simply because of what the two of you are wearing. In a world it takes a full effort by both parties to make relationships work, it is important not to forget the importance and significance of physical attraction, for which dressing for lust plays a huge role.

Originally written for and published in Europe & Me magazine issue 19: http://www.europeandme.eu/19brain/1089-towards-a-european-energy-strategy.
Energy policy has the potential to foster Europe's role as an innovative hub for transnational cooperation, but it too often demonstrates the gaps between competing national interests. This article explores energy cooperation through the internal market, external energy security and how Europe is creating innovation in the sector.
Towards a European energy strategy?
The first multinational attempts to institutionalize and regulate energy interests emerged after the Second World War. New energy market dynamics and the awareness that disputes over natural resources can breed war led to the creation of the coal and steel agreement, providing the first pillar of communal European interests. The European Union now oversees its Member States' own measures and conducts its own transnational decision-making processes to ensure a stable and affordable energy supply across Europe.
The ambitious Europe 2020 Energy initiative, formulated in 2010, required member states to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, to increase the share of renewable energy to 20% and to improve energy efficiency by 20%. During the next two years the European Commission responded to the lack of commitment by member states and has since issued a series of European level reforms to ensure that European Member States pull their weight in producing a sustainable energy program. These additional steps show a distinct aim at closing the gaps between national actions and European visions.
One key vision put forward in the Treaty of Lisbon was the notion of a transnational energy market. One key vision put forward by the Commission in the Treaty of Lisbon was the notion of a transnational energy market. Energy was now to be considered an EU policy area in its own right and the creation of a single internal European gas and electricity market was a major goal that would support the Energy 2020 goals. At its core, this common market aims to separate energy production from international distribution by breaking big companies' exclusive infrastructure ownership and to encourage competition among energy providers. Hence, this market would grant all European consumers more supply options, would enhance free trade and make an important step towards common market-based prices. This plan therefore directly Europeanizes two key facets of energy strategy: better accessibility for supply and greater price affordability.
Responses to Russia
Better accessibility has not reached a point where energy security is no longer fragmented among its members. This is simply due to the fact that external market actors are essential for guaranteeing the energy supply of most member states because European energy created within European borders cannot meet demand. There is a universal consensus that Russia, and its state owned company Gazprom, is the most important actor in the EU's energy security system. Russia currently supplies 38.7% of total gas imports and 32.6% of total oil imports to the EU. In several Eastern European states and particularly the Baltic countries, all gas is provided by Russia.
Despite a recognition that Europe is subject to the whim of Russia, there exists no unified response to this development among EU states. Even after 2009, when Gazprom cut gas supplies to Ukraine, a 'transit country' to the rest of Europe, and the impact was felt as far as the UK, the approaches of different member states continued to conflict with one another. Germany sought close ties with Gazprom, and pushed for the construction of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, running through the Baltic Sea, to avoid land transit through Belarus and Ukraine. Poland's government was horrified by the new German-Russian alliance, with Radek Sikorski going so far as to call it the 'Molotov-Ribbentrop pipeline', and Polish public opinion remains very negative towards the project. The project in fact evolved into a multilateral endeavor, albeit a western one, involving not just Russia and Germany but also France and the Netherlands.
In contrast, the Baltic States traditionally pursue a rather cautious policy towards Russia and are certainly wary of their 100% dependency of Russian gas. They have engaged in an Eastern European movement to tackle the troublesome Gazprom monopoly of European energy. Lithuania initiated the complaint against allegedly unfair pricing mechanisms, contracts for gas which are linked with (greatly increasing) oil prices – resulting in an official investigation of Gazprom by the EU Commission on anti-trust law violations. The investigation covers deals between the Russian state company and the buying nations Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, who are all highly dependent on Russian gas. If the investigation turns out to be successful, Gazprom could face fines of up to 10% of its annual sales.
The issue of external actors shows that European states aren't acting as a unified front. However, they all share the common understanding that unilateral decisions are memories of the past and that the EU should be the body to handle issues of vital importance regarding energy security. After all, Nord Stream is gradually evolving to be a multinational pipeline, and all member states respect the EU's authority with regard to pursuing the anti-trust investigation against Gazprom. Gazprom has already announced that it is likely to cut long-term contract prices to Europe next year.
European innovation or fragmentation?
An answer to the energy security dilemma would be to produce more European domestic energy, but even here there is a split between states who are trying to promote renewable energy and those who aim to harness their domestic shale gas supplies. Germany is steadily withdrawing from nuclear energy and promoting renewable energy sources, eager to be recognised as an innovator in green technologies. Poland on the other hand is strongly promoting shale gas extraction to diversify its energy supply. As Brain editor Matt Shearman argued here, the Polish Government is undertaking these measures in order to cope with the green energy policies of the EU, as much to reduce its reliance on Russian imports.
At a European level, the question of shale gas extraction remains a complicated one.
At a European level, the question of shale gas extraction remains a complicated one. While Warsaw regards hydraulic fracturing (fracking) as a bridge technology to meet its decarbonisation requirements, the European Commission is concerned about the potential large scale environmental effects, thus negating the environmental benefits. Are these contrary approaches undermining a pan-European energy strategy? After all, every member state is entitled to create its energy mix according to its own needs and particularities. Here, EU strategies function rather as guidelines and provide important regulation frameworks to ensure an innovative and sustainable transnational energy policy in the long run.
The EU's major framework for sustainable energy is the EU Emission Trading System (ETS), a system based upon trading emission allowances that companies are allotted; the less carbon used, the less carbon allowances need to be bought, or else a greater number can be sold to recoup money. At a European level, the EU will continue to reduce the limit at which greenhouse gas emissions are allowed before carbon permits need to be bought as well as expanding the ETS to include more industry sectors. It is planned that the market will reduce carbon emissions by 8% in comparison to 1990.
The impact of this framework can be seen by how it will affect energy production in Eastern Europe. Polish coal plants for example, the primary source of Poland's carbon emissions, originally received free carbon allowances – literally 'allowing' them more carbon produced for their energy – but will now buy them from the start of 2013. This will make dirty coal energy production less competitive, forcing industries to invest in greener sources of energy instead of trading in costly carbon allowances. In the short term, Warsaw is likely to introduce supportive measures for its coal industry, but the ETS is slowly forcing Poland's long-term reliance on coal to come to an end.
Energy as a 'European common good'?
Energy is intrinsically linked to the core of national security, and for this reason it is especially hard to find common ground between Member States, even when the right universal aspirations might exist. But the general trend suggests that European leaders are increasingly shifting their approach towards unified strategy proposals. The EU summit in 2011 demonstrated the uniqueness of European cooperation, where national initiatives are continually transposed to European strategy.

France pushed for the promotion of low-carbon sources to foster its construction plans for nuclear power plants, leading to an official accord for the European promotion of "investment in renewables and safe and sustainable low carbon technologies." Germany and Poland demanded a legally-binding target for energy efficiency, which led to a reassurance statement by all member state leaders that they would deliver on the Energy 2020 targets. These founding agreements led to the agreement for a more coherent European foreign policy in terms of energy.
…most importantly, the instinct towards autarky and fear of external European suppliers must disappear to improve the energy mix in all European countries
Whilst this is often hard to perceive, it is important to remember the degree of consensus among member states when attempting to put European energy strategies into a global context. Supranational strategies are vital when it comes to pushing individual states to promote alternative energy methods.
There is still a lot of work to do in order to foster the notion of a true European energy security system though, domestically as well as in how European states respond to global actors. Perhaps most importantly, the instinct towards autarky and fear of external European suppliers must disappear to improve the energy mix in all European countries. It is crucial to the future wealth and energy security of Europe to put a positive value on coordination, mutual dependence and the effective allocation of financial resources and the impact this might have on energy-rich neighboring countries. After all, the idea of a globally integrated energy system has existed for several years – initiative is the next step it needs to keep developing.

A couple celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary in Midtown was attacked by a crazed stranger who spit on the woman and then pummeled her husband in the face.
New Jersey restaurateurs Jeremy and Paola Goldberg, both 35, had just caught the Broadway hit "Dear Evan Hansen" at the Music Box Theatre near Times Square when they were attacked around 10 p.m. Tuesday.
"New York City is supposed to be a place for everybody and this was unacceptable," Jeremy said.
"It was outrageous. It was an awful experience."
The happy couple, residents of West Orange, N.J., were walking down Eighth Ave. toward Penn Station to take a PATH train home when 6-foot-5 suspect Derrick Boyce allegedly sneaked up on them from behind.
He tapped Paola on the shoulder and, when she turned, spit in her face, cops said.
The brawler, clad in shorts, a shirt and a towel on his head, then pounced on Jeremy Goldberg, repeatedly punching him in the face, knocking him down, cops said.
Goldberg fell to the ground under Boyce's hail of haymakers.
"He just started pummeling me, yelling 'It's your fault! It's your fault!' " Jeremy said. "He was a big guy. My face is pretty messed up. Not one bystander did a thing."
Boyce dashed off west on W. 35th St., but when he realized he was on the same block as the Midtown South Precinct stationhouse, he changed direction and ran downtown on Eighth Ave. toward Penn Station.
The Daily News Flash
The Goldbergs followed him at a safe distance while Paola called 911.
Cops arrested Boyce, 40, at W. 33rd St. and Eighth Ave. and charged him with assault.
He has a dozen prior arrests, most recently in November for attempted robbery in East Harlem, authorities said. He was awaiting arraignment Wednesday.
Jeremy suffered a black eye and cuts to his face, nose and tongue. He is being treated for a possible concussion.
"We go into the city as much as possible. I love New York City," Jeremy said. "We are hardworking restaurateurs and we don't get much time off. This was a pretty difficult night."
The couple moved to the metro area from Miami three years ago seeking a safer place to live. They now run a restaurant called Essex Junction Craft Kitchen & Bar in Bloomfield.
"My face will heal but this memory will last forever," Jeremy said. "My wife is from Mexico City. She'll never go back here alone or with her daughter again."

The natural foods movement has recently sparked an interest in bowhunting among non-hunters. Knowing how the food on your plate got there and taking part in the process is a great way to eliminate concerns of whether your meat was ethically sourced. Not to mention, you'll feel great fulfillment providing your own food for you and your family.
If you're new to bowhunting or considering trying it for the first time, you may wonder how wild meat tastes. Let's look at a few common game species and learn about the lean, organic meat they yield.
White-Tailed Deer
The white-tailed deer is the most commonly hunted game species in the country and for good reason. Whitetails can be found in almost every state in the continental U.S. with the exception of a few western states. The venison provided from a successful whitetail hunt is an excellent source of lean protein that makes outstanding table fare. That said, a few factors influence the taste of venison. For example, consider where the deer lives and its diet. A deer harvested in a northern cedar swamp will yield meat that tastes different than one taken in the lush midwestern farmland. Also, the time of year, age, sex and field care of the animal affects how the meat tastes.
Pros: Whitetail venison is very lean, making it much healthier than beef. Venison contains roughly half the calories of beef and nearly one-sixth the amount of saturated fat. Large population numbers make whitetail venison a very sustainable resource. You can enjoy venison stew, steaks, burgers, summer sausage, and other favorites.
Cons: While whitetail venison is arguably the most popular wild meat, it typically isn't regarded as the best tasting. Some cuts produce tender meats, while others are tougher and might require hardy chewing if prepared improperly. Make no mistake – venison is delicious no matter how it's prepared, but a few close relatives to the whitetail have more tender, appetizing meat.
Wild Turkey
If old Ben Franklin had his way, this popular game bird would have been named our National Bird. Lucky for hunters and anyone who enjoys delicious food, the Bald Eagle got the nod, leaving the American wild turkey to become a popular target for bowhunters during spring and fall. The wild turkey can be found in all U.S. states except Alaska. They aren't large, but underneath all those feathers is plenty of meat. In fact, of the animals on this list, turkey provides the most meat per its total body weight.
Turkey can be prepared as you would any domestic poultry, and with peace of mind knowing this bird is definitely free-range and antibiotic-free.
Pros: Just one wild turkey yields a ton of lean, organic meat. Turkey breasts are easy to cook with and can be used in many of your favorite poultry recipes.
Cons: The leg meat from a wild turkey can be more difficult to prepare than breast meat. Wild turkeys are almost always on the move, making these cuts smaller and tougher than a domestic turkey leg. Also, the gamier flavor sometimes associated with wild turkey meat will be most noticeable when the meat is baked or deep-fried. Opt for other options, such as marinades or – my personal favorite – slow-cooker BBQ turkey sliders.
Elk are primarily found in the western U.S. and are atop many bowhunter bucket lists for more than just impressive antlers. Elk is commonly considered among hunters to be one of the best wild-game meats. It's similar to venison, but is usually leaner and has little-to-no gamey flavor. You can prepare elk meat as you would beef.
Pros: An elk provides a massive amount of lean, organic meat that lacks fat and wild-game taste.
Cons: Elk hunting isn't as accessible to bowhunters as other species. Also, because of the extremely lean meat, fat must be added during processing when making ground burger.
Other Noteworthy Options
A few other species are often harvested for their tasty meat. If you are an adventurous hunter, consider these options.
Moose: These massive animals live in a few northern states in small populations, as well as Alaska and Canada. Their meat is on par with elk and there's a lot of it; a full-grown male moose can weigh nearly one ton.
Axis Deer: Native to India but existing in free-ranging herds in Texas and Hawaii, the axis deer is widely considered to yield the best wild meat on the planet.
Wild Pigs: Found from Maryland to Maui, wild hogs can be hunted most places. Their meat is similar to that of a domestic hog but leaner.
If this list has your mouth watering and you're ready to try bowhunting, visit your local archery pro shop to get started. Also, review online resources to learn what type of bow is right for you and find delicious wild-game recipes. Decide for yourself which wild meat tastes best!

Local search engine optimization is important if you use a website to operate an online business in a specific geographic area. With the help of local SEO, it becomes possible to attract local customers to your website.
Without SEO, although your website may be attractive, it may not attract customers as it remains inaccessible to search sites. SEO optimizes your website as it is located by search sites and customers.
You can get the best information about local SEO Company in Phoenix by searching the internet.

The importance of local SEO is that today there are many people who use the Internet for shopping and are more interested in local businesses to fulfill their needs. Also, as a practitioner, local search engine optimization becomes more essential than global SEO when you try to create a niche for yourself in a specific area.
For example, in real estate, a global business would require an SEO for 'luxury villas' to attract traffic, whereas, a local business would require SEO for more specific keywords such as 'Georgetown Villas'. Therefore, local search engine optimization helps attract a local crowd as opposed to a global crowd.
The need for local search engine optimization arises from the fact that when you want to promote an online business locally, you may want to eliminate global competition that could cause you to lose business.
A local SEO is also important when you want to target a particular crowd that you think needs your product the most. In this way, you can attract real and targeted website traffic to help you directly increase sales revenue.
Employing local SEO to maximize your site is the perfect method to obtain a foothold to your company especially if there's a tough competition about. This is particularly beneficial when you run companies like property agencies, hotels, or retail shops for that there's always plenty of rivalries.
In such a company, attracting a worldwide audience isn't of any consequence, instead of targeting neighborhood audience gains significance. As an example, designing a site using a neighborhood search engine optimization is the sole solution.

Tour Divide Diary Day 4
Fernie to Eureka
69.3 miles 2109 feet of climbing
226 miles 10639 feet of climbing
Today we actually set an alarm so we could get up and out earlier, we'd decided to buy breakfast rather than cook it and riding past Starbucks we saw a couple of construction workers digging the road, both wearing Fox MTB shirts, figuring they would definitely know where to get a good breakfast we asked the question and got directed to Big Bang Bagels (https://bigbangbagels.com/) in the town. We had a monster bagel each, a big coffee and bought cookies to eat while out on the trail.
As we were leaving the town we spotted the bike shop, Gearhub Sports (http://gearhub.ca/), what an amazing shop! There's clearly a good downhill / enduro scene locally as there were lots of that style of bike there, as well as fat bikes too. Then for the winter they had all the skiing and snowboarding kit as well as rifles and the like, not what we're used to seeing in a bike shop in the UK!
I went in and they very kindly topped up the air in my tyres using the compressor as they were running a little low. Also as I knew there were a few road stretches today I got them to put in 15psi, which is two more than normal, but rolls along nicely. By this time Tom had decided he wanted to relocate to Fernie as not only did they have all the kit in the shop, but the other side of the railway was a set of dirt jumps and a concrete skatepark too, perfect! He'd just better get a place that is big enough for me to stay at as well….
Leaving Fernie we joined Cokato Road, which eventually became a gravel road, which was about half way up the side of the valley. The views were great and on the opposite side of the valley you could see the ski runs, which are used for MTB in the summer. The road shadowed the railway line for a while and we took the opportunity to take some photos of the track although we saw no trains. We also had to dodge the logging trucks that were using the gravel road too.
It was getting pretty hot again and the map promised a full range of services at Elko, this proved to consist of just one service station though and the food inside looked like it could do you some harm. Beggars can't be choosers though and we opted for pre packaged with ice cream, donuts, Pringles and Gatorade, a lunch of champions. Special mention must go to the hunting gallery by the toilet door, with a memorial to a chap who had managed to shoot himself and his carcass had then been half eaten by a bear! As with the bike shop the service station had a full range of weapons for sale too, machetes seem to be popular in Elko!
After Elko we took a wrong turn and ended up doing about ten miles on Highway 93, the map said turn left, which we did, but it was actually the second left we needed. The road went to the same place though so we stuck with it and eventually rejoined the route down near the Elk River. Special mention at this point must go to Canada's road bridges. All the highways have a really ample shoulder which means you can ride on them and still feel safe. However when you come to a river the bridges are only the width of the carriageway. Which means if it is a long bridge, like the Elk River you need to look over your shoulder to check the traffic, then go as fast as you dare and blast across in between cars and lorries. It was actually pretty scary, though there was a decent downhill to the Elk River so we were doing about thirty five by the time we hit the bridge and just managed to get off the other side before the next truck rumbled over.
We finally turned back off the highway on to the Dorr Cutoff Road, a really nice gravel road through some amazing scenery, it was all beginning to open out a bit more so the views were fantastic. However by this point the Garmin was reading forty three degrees and we were feeling a little worse for wear, this lead to a really bad navigational cockup and as we stood overlooking Lake Koocanusa admiring the cool water stretching out for miles in each direction I realised we'd missed a left hand turn and we spent a sweltering forty five minutes riding back up the hill to the junction where we'd gone wrong.
The map showed services at Grasmere and despite the fact we'd been drinking a lot both of us had stopped sweating, which is a fairly good indicator you may be getting a bit dehydrated. Back onto tarmac and down the hill to Grasmere it seemed to take forever, even though it was only about two miles and we were pleased to roll into the shop there and get even more 7up and ice cream. Grasmere wasn't nearly as nice as our Grasmere in the Lake District, it was just a skanky shack on the roadside, but it was food and drink none the less. The shop wasn't really air conditioned, but it was cooler than outside so ate and drank in there before heading back out into the sun for another ten miles of Highway 93 to the border.
At the border we went in the duty free shop on the Canadian side, Tom went in first and while I was sorting the bikes out a kindly gent opened up the boot of his car and got us two bottles of ice cold water out and handed them to me. More trail magic.
We chatted to the woman in the shop, bought even more water and drank it and also got Tom some replacement flip flops as his had vanished somewhere in the first twenty miles. At the actual border crossing they asked us to go into the office which was awesome as it was air conditioned! We told him to take his time and he cross examined me a bit, I guess to make sure we were going to do what we said! We filled up all our water bottles and headed out into the USA….
The Airport Road to Eureka was dead straight, hot and constantly undulating, we were so close to our stop for the night but it didn't seem to be getting any nearer. Back on Highway 93 again on the outskirts of Eureka we bought a load of food from the supermarket and then coasted down the road into the town. Eventually we came to the southern end of Eureka and the campground, though the word campground is a bit ambitious in this case! It's just a green squeezed in between the town office, Tobacco River and Sinclair Creek. There were half a dozen other cyclists there who were doing a road tour so we had a good chat with them.
After dinner Tom decided he would jump in Tobacco river as there were lots of locals doing the same, but after I had dipped a toe in I decided it was way too cold, despite the temperature still being in the thirties. However as the showers were already shut, even though it was only being seven in the evening, the river came in handy for washing the saucepans up. We were happy to get off to sleep after such a long, hot day in the saddle.

Prezi is a new Flash based online presentation tool from Zui Labs, which lets you create extra ordinary "zooming" presentations.
With traditional presentation tools such as Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote, you have to work slide by slide to create your presentation. With Prezi you have only one slide to work with! But rather than thinking your working space as a "slide" in Prezi, you should think it as a big (actually limitless) scientific poster.
I know, you probably started thinking that "How is a gigantic scientific poster is more interesting than a ordinary scientific poster?". I totally agree, scientific posters are usually boring if not horrible, but this is not the case for Prezi. With Prezi, your scientific poster becomes a magical space where you can zoom in and out as you want to focus a piece of information on it, and where you can organize the transitions between these information holders to create the flow of your presentation. Also, because your presentation has the feeling of deepness, thank to ability of zooming in and out, you can even create presentation that feels like they are three dimensional. Please click on the image above or check the video below to see a living example.
Prezi lets you control everything either with the menu at the top left corner of your screen, which consists of a bunch of hierarchically connected circles in different sizes, or with keyboard shortcuts (i.e. pressing "b" chooses square frame, and CTRL+Z undoes your last action) while editing.
When you click on the "Place" circle in the menu (or simply press "p") and click on an object on your presentation, a circular zebra pattern appears on top of your object, which helps you to move, rotate or resize the object with your mouse. Again, please check the video below for the usage.
While presenting, you can control jumps between zooming sections via menu at the right bottom of the screen or use your keyboard. You can also reach a timing menu if you click and hold the right arrow on the navigation menu, where you can choose between 2, 10 and 20 second intervals.
Prezi definitely has a learning curve for a PowerPoint or a Keynote user, but it is not steep one. It feels like the user interface cleverly designed with simplicity in mind, and when you get used to its controls and the concept itself, it literally frees you in space :) Prezi supports the special characters of your alphabet, or at least the ones we use in Turkish. Don't sure if it supports languages like traditional Chinese or Russian.
Presentations you've created with Prezi are also ultimately portable. You can download and run your presentation as a flash projector executable on any computer running Windows or OSX, even presence of flash on that computer is not necessary!
Prezi is currently in private beta status (invite only), and maybe because of this, it is lacking some crucial features like Microsoft Excel support and copy-paste. Themes are limited in quantity and you can't tweak the designs. Also, currently you can only use flv videos, according to FAQ. I wish they offer a stock image library like Slide Rocket,
and I'd like to see importing of .swf files (which will let me use the charts I created with Swiff Chart) (my mistake, it is possible).
I'm using Prezi not for a long time, but liked it a lot. I have tried other online presentation tools, including Google Docs, Zoho and Slide Rocket. Prezi is far more creative and innovative than any other tool I've used, and I'm sure they'll change everyone's mind about other presentation tools when they decide to open their doors to the masses.
I strongly suggest you to get your email enlisted for an invitation, here.

Sarah finishes her seasonal swim program next Tuesday. She's a little bummed that she's not going to get to swim again until the spring. I would like her to be able to swim year round but that's so expensive and consumes a lot of time. This seasonal program is was a good fit for us because there are no swim meets. It's just practicing for improvement. The program is set up so that you could sign up for 1, 2, or 3 nights a week. We chose one night and it was perfect. I just wish we could keep on through the winter. But the instructor is a high school swim coach and that season is about to start so his program will end until the spring. But I might let Sarah do two nights in the spring.
Peter had his first basketball practice last night. He will have practice two nights a week from 6:30 to 8:30. He and I are both a little stressed about that. I wish at least one of the practices was right after school or at least earlier than 6:30. But I think this time works best for his coaches. And these guys don't even have kids at our school any longer. They just love Our Lady of Mercy and coaching basketball and I know I'm not willing to coach so, 6:30 - 8:30 it is!
And speaking of basketball, Sarah has decided not to play this year. I'm a little bummed because I really enjoy watching her but she just really doesn't enjoy it the same way she enjoys swimming. And if she doesn't enjoy it, then why are we doing it?
Sarah just bridged up from Juniors to Cadettes and she just received her Bronze Award. Here are a couple of less than perfect photos:
Sarah went to the fair with her friend Mia and came home with not one but TWO! goldfish. And these things look pretty hearty so I've got a feeling they are going to be with us for a while. We've never had much luck with goldfish before. (That one only lasted a few months). And WILL YOU LOOK AT MY LITTLE BABIES??????????
Now I'm a little weepy thinking about how small they were and how big they are now. Especially since I am in process of buying Peter a whole new wardrobe IN THE MEN'S DEPARTMENT because nothing fits any longer. NOTHING!
The length of the pants I'm buying him is 32 (which is the length I buy for Dan, although the waist size is a completely different story!) and his shoes are an 11 which is a size and a half BIGGER than Dan's. But neither one of us is tall so I am assuming he will level off soon.
In other riveting news, I purchased a new shade of nail polish, and if you play your cards right, I'll show it to you later on this week.
And now I'm off to clean out my closet. I am getting rid of all the clothes that no longer fit me. And unfortunately, it's not because I'm growing up...

Strata Management Act: 'Let there be light'
ViewPoint January 20, 2017 Property 360 Online
BY The National House Buyers Association
The Strata Management Act (SMA) though has received its Royal Assent on Feb 5, 2013 and gazetted on Feb 8, 2013 was inordinately delayed because of the governing Strata Management (M&M) Regulations as well as a host of other crossed referred laws in the Housing Development (Control & Licensing) Act, 1966 (amended 2012), its HD Regulations (amended 2015) and the new statutory Sale and Purchase Agreements. It finally was implemented by the Minister of Housing and thus came into operation on June 1, 2015.
Maintenance & management – the new regime
As the country enters a new era of democracy, all of us are beginning to realise the importance of information so that we can be aware of our rights, obligations and responsibilities.
This is especially true for owners who are concerned about the management and maintenance of their stratified properties, now governed by the Strata Management Act, 2013 (Act 757) and its governing Strata Management (Maintenance & Management) Regulations, 2015 which has resulted in the repeal of the Building & Common Property (Maintenance and Management) Act 2007 (Act 663) that has outlived its effectiveness.
With the passage of this piece of legislation through Parliament in December 2012 and its introduction to the property landscape on June 1 this year, a framework for the establishment of a Joint Management Body (JMB), Management Corporation (MC), subsidiary MC and the appointment, duties and power of a Commissioner of Buildings (COB) to administer the new legislation are now in existence, as are rules relating to the rights and obligations of owners. It is also supposed to be enforced against offenders, be they big or small developers, a member(s) of a defiant JMB, MC or even rogue managing agents who fail to protect the interest of the body or corporation they represent and/or exercise the due fiduciary duty of care.
The legislation also saw the introduction of the new Tribunal in the form of the Strata Management Tribunal – a quasi form of legal redress; an efficient, cheap and speedy justice where an aggrieved party may seek legal recourse through without having to litigate in Courts.
The Strata Management (M&M) Regulations, 2015 is detailed, comprehensive and is forward-looking with pre-set format from Form of Proxy, Notice of Resolution(s), Notice of Demand to detailed check-list what the Developer must 'hand-over' to the JMB etc. There is a total of 30 pre-set forms. Even a pre-set 'By-Laws' governing stratified property is available as a skeletal guide. However, there are rooms for further improvements in the near future.
The Strata Management Act (SMA) is a victory to the National House Buyers Association (HBA) and those who fought for the wellbeing of stratified property owners in addressing the cumulative problems related to the proper maintenance and management of buildings and common properties and ensuring uniformity of laws and policies where they concern local governments. This SMA legislation includes all stratified properties – residential and commercial.
There were previous allegations of its ineffectiveness because part of the issue that relates to Maintenance and Management (M&M) were under different Ministries, i.e. Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. There were visible boundaries that divided the effectiveness of the laws governing M&M.
Down memory lane – ministers' credit
HBA would like to firstly thank Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting, the then Minister of Housing and Local Government for having the courage to first tabled Act 663 that gives "Power back to the hands of the Owners" in the year 2007. The previous Act instilled on the Developers the mindset and recognized the rights, benefits and entitlement of the strata owners upon delivery of vacant possession. The Developers' duty is to sell property whilst that of the owners is in forming community. The said Act 663 has worked "with some teething problems" for the past eight years. There were a lot of uncertainties and ambiguities. But it has since outlived its usefulness.
When Tan Sri Chor Chee Heung helmed the Housing Ministry portfolio, he boldly took a notch higher in the succeeding years to table the current wholesome legislation named the STRATA MANAGEMENT BILL, in Parliament on Dec 19, 2012.
Congratulations to the immediate past Minister and his team at the Ministry of Housing and Local Government who have worked through unequaled weekends with the numerous stakeholders (including HBA's volunteers) in the related industry: tweaked and tuned both the M&M aspects in the Strata Titles Act, 1985 (Act 318) and the related Housing Development legislation. Hence, the birth of the Strata Management Act (SMA). Equally important is his counterpart Minister at the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Datuk Sri Douglas Uggah Embas, who has also simultaneously tabled his law, i.e. Strata Titles Act,1985 (amendment 2012) at the previous sitting in Parliament to make the SMA a reality.
Credit too must be accorded to the previous Housing Minister, Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan, for implementing the SMA whereupon his Ministry has assumed the task of being the caretaker of M&M as well as following up on the past efforts of his Ministry. We were afraid that he may do another "U-turn" as what happened to HBA's long-drawn proposal in the mandatory implementation of the Built-Then-Sell 10:90 (BTS 10:90) concept in the housing industry.
(PS: We are, however, dismayed that the word "registered property manager" was removed from the SMA legislation which invariably opens the floodgates to unregistered property managers. This is another topic that I have written on numerous occasions.)
Three-fold legal relationship
A person who purchases a unit in a strata development enters into a three-fold legal relationship; firstly, he is the individual owner of his unit; secondly, he is a co-owner with all other owners of the common property and the land of the strata development; and thirdly, he is automatically a member of the owners' body to whom the management and maintenance of the scheme is entrusted.
Harmony can only be achieved if the strata development is managed properly, the common property and facilities maintained adequately and regularly. The proper maintenance, efficient management and ultimately the success of the strata development will depend on a steady flow of payments to the coffers of the common fund of the owners' body.
Repeated failure to contribute to common expenses may hinder timely maintenance and efficient management and ultimately wreck the whole strata development scheme.
Firstly, every strata property purchaser or owner should read and be conversant with the newly minted SMA and its related Regulations to understand his duties, obligations and responsibilities as an individual owner.
Secondly, he should be aware that he is a co-owner of the common property of the strata development and thirdly that he is a member of the owners' body formed.
We have repeatedly stated that laws are only as effective as the degree of enforcement. This had been the bane of the whole situation. Wayward developers, JMBs, MCs and managing agents well know that the chances of them getting away with their wayward deeds are extremely good.
Thus, ENFORCEMENT is the key to more protection. Our fundamental belief is that even the best of legislation to counter a particular situation would just remain as ornamental pieces unless strict enforcements are carried out against offenders, without fear or favour.
Our comments aforesaid are supplementary to our stand that no amount of law will be able to eliminate or solve the problems unless they are strictly enforced. As the saying goes, "THE LAW IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS ENFORCEMENT".

Week 7: Novatron - Week 7's project theme was "light", and there are a lot of ways I could have gone with this one. Despite a few good days of shooting this week I didn't have anything that fit my ideas of light. I did have a few ideas in my head still and ended up executing on this one. A big part of my learning this year is going to be around using light in the studio, so these old Novatron pack lights have been seeing more attention lately. There are two more lights, one each on camera left and camera right, to light up the scene on this "main" light.
