This week Gerald Kitabu interviewed academician and gender activist Rose George Mbezi on how gender division of labour obscures the importance of women work. Excerpts:
QUESTION: I understand that you have conducted research on gender division of labour, what is it?
ANSWER. Gender is a social category referring to the social expectations that are developed and placed upon individuals on the basis of their biological sex. Different roles exist for males and females, through which they are expected to become and act 'masculine' and 'feminine'. Gender division of labour, therefore, is the social construction of roles between men and women.
The roles are then learned, we are not born with them. Gender roles define appropriate manners of interacting, dressing as well as providing limitations on goals and aspirations.
Q: What's the situation like in Tanzania?
A. Gender division of labour is neither rigid nor universal, since the division of tasks varies from one country to another as well as from one community to another. Tanzania has undergone several socio-economic changes regarding the nature of work between the two genders. As such, the distribution of work between men and women has changed to suit the current socioeconomic framework. In the beginning there were several assumptions concerning the work of men and women in the family.
There were clear divisions of labour based on gender. The man of the family, conveniently identified as the breadwinner, is primarily involved in productive work outside the home, while the women as the housewife and home maker takes overall responsibility for the reproductive and domestic work involved in the organization of the household.
Of recent, however, there is an increase of women's involvement in cash economy, especially in the informal sector to subside the income of their households. Women are nowadays supposed to integrate productive, reproductive and community management roles.
In most cases societies as I have already said before, have attached reproductive and community management roles to women and productive roles to men. However in most feminist literature, the sexual division of labour which attaches reproductive and community management roles to the female gender and productive roles to male gender is identified above all as embodying and perpetuating women subordination.
Q: How do they perpetuate women subordination?
A: Actually the basis of women subordination in terms of gendered division of labour lies in the discourses of what is and what is not work in a certain socio-economic context. In most case work is defined according to several criteria such as time and labour spent on it, the cash income it generates and may be the social status or identity it bestowed upon individual by the society or him or herself.
It is obvious that women spend too much time to accomplish their roles in maintaining households and societies in general, and to some, this make them feel good due to what their work do to their families and communities.
The arising problem nowadays is the growing of cash economy. Money is universally used to measure the value of someone work in most societies.
As such, the work that women do in productive, reproductive and community management roles are not understood in conventional economical terms as people are so used to valuing and calculating value of work or things in terms of prices using money. Those whose work brings a lot of money is the ones who are likely to be mostly valued.
Unfortunately, the majority of women in Tanzania are employed in the informal sector. The activities done by the majority of women in informal sector operate in subsistence economy as such, the state receives very little revenue. Sometimes the returns from the activities done are very little to cater for households needs.
It becomes therefore difficult for both the Government and society in general to establish if whether women involved in productive work give value to Government economic establishment and their society in general.
Q: Sometimes, gender division of labour is associated with culture, particularly norms and customs whereby in some societies women are assigned specific duties and barred from doing other duties. What are your views on this?
A: Any healthy society is ordered. So, I do not have any objection with gender division of labour. I am, however, not happy with the value systems of most communities in our country. As you know gender, division of labour is not homogeneous. The division of tasks between men and women is not the same in all communities.
However, often societies develop a certain value system based on the gender division of labour attached to the roles performed by each gender, whether at home or in public. The tendency has been to give men's roles a high value while women's roles are accorded low value.
Q: Are your efforts as gender activists bring any desired results?
A: Yes, to some extent, but remember gender roles are acquired through the socialization process. Socialization is different from learning. The actual process of learning involves a small part of the many more complex ways in which humans become individuals and members of society. Socialization on the other hand refers to such additional factors as the acquisition and acceptance of the ideas, beliefs, behaviours, roles, motives, and thought patterns of a particular culture in a society. So, we still need to work hard to harmonize gender division of labour to facilitate development processes in Tanzania.
Q: By the way, are gender laws and policies friendly to women empowerment?
A: It is difficult to say exactly if gender policies and laws are friendly to women empowerment or not because it depends on someone's view. But I think Tanzania has done a considerable effort to make sure that there are several windows to make gender equity and equality a reality.
Tanzania has ratified the international and regional conventions, protocols and declarations that aim at redressing the violation of human rights at national and global levels including the rights of women, youth and children as vulnerable groups.
At national level, the Government of Tanzania has passed specific laws, which counter gender based violence such as the SOSPA (2001). Tanzania has also issued the Gender and Women Empowerment Policy (2000) plus its implementation strategy (2005) with a view to promoting gender development in the country.
The National Strategy for Gender Development is meant to provide guidance as it outlines the gender main streaming responsibilities for all the sectors (Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Non-State Actors (NSA) and other stakeholders.
In addition, Tanzania has also domesticated the CEDAW through a Country Report. The above gender framework can be used in different sectors to mainstream gender concerns in order to address problems encountered by women and the most vulnerable in our society.
Q. What exactly should be done so that the gendered division of labour is harmonised to facilitate the development process?
A. Let me make myself clear here. I detest the thinking that for women work to be valued they should take the work and responsibilities that are associated with men. For in a society like ours where money is often measured to value the importance of someone's work, women should learn to value their work themselves, appreciate what they do regardless of how much cash it brings.
This will be the basis for more work and more rewards, for one cannot expect to earn or advance more in whatever he or she is doing if in the first place does appreciate what he or she does.
Q. Finally, being a gender activist, what's your advice?
A. No one can deny the fact that societies are sustained through the integrated nature of people's activities regardless of how much cash it brings, it is important therefore to focus on each individual human being (women in particular) as a potential contributor towards building a sustainable development, especially in the current socio-economic changes.

The iCAN (intelligent car navigation systems) project is collaboration between academia (the University of Tokyo) and industry (the Toshiba and Yazaki corporations) to pursue intelligent systems and their enabling technologies for near-future intelligent transportation systems. The ITS scenario is complex, involving fundamental nontechnical (such as legal and institutional) issues. So, iCAN's vision of a near future ITS incorporates both technical and nontechnical concerns. On the basis of this vision, we decided to focus on driver assistance systems and smart-community transportation systems.

I am trying to analyze an old malware sample in OllyDbg. It has instruction of the format CALL
I am not an expert in Assembly. I know that CALL is used to call a sub-routine and JMP is used to jump to a particular address in the memory but what is the result of using CALL with JMP? Could anyone clarify on it? Even pointers to where I could find answers would be very helpful. Thanks.
Seeing a call in the form CALL suggests that the binary was compiled with Visual C++'s /INCREMENTAL option, hence the table of jump thunks.
... an incrementally linked executable (.exe) file or dynamic-link library (DLL):
 - May contain jump thunks to handle relocation of functions to new addresses.
you're right, it could be called directly instead of being jumped after a call.
However, it makes it easier if the address of the API is referenced only once, and this single reference should be a JMP (otherwise, it would alter the stack).
So, there is only one memory reference to the API, via a single JMP. Each time the API is used, this JMP is CALL-ed, so execution is transferred transparently, and at the end of the API, the original address of the caller being still on the stack, the caller will be transparently returned to.
The reason is for loading performance - the jumps are gathered into a single region that is made temporarily writable for the purpose of placing the API addresses, and is usually only a single page in size. This avoids multiple calls to VirtualProtect() by the loader, in order to write all over the code space to every reference to any given API.

The building which is nowadays the site of the University of Seville was formerly the Cigar Factory.
Sevilla, as it had the monopoly of the trade with America, was the first place in Europe to know tobacco and the Cigar Factory of Seville was the first built in Europe.
In the 18th century, in order to meet its development, a big building of dun stone was erected in the current Prado de San Sebastian of Seville. It had two stories, surrounded by a ditch and it looked more like a palace than like a factory. There is an anecdote which tells that at the cigar factory worked the cigar makers, typical women surrounded by legend (the mythic Carmen was a cigar maker), who were portrayed by artists like Gonzalo de Bilbao.
The factory lines are sober, except for the pyramidal crowns of the corners and the colorful main façade adorned with medallions representing America's discovery -conquerors, galleons, natives smokingand crowned by a dynamic statue of the Fame, winged and playing a trumpet. Besides the interest of its façade, it is especially interesting, in the interior, the Patio del Reloj (The Clock Patio).
Half way through the 20th century, the University of Sevilla started to be moved into the building, thus the Cigar Factory moved out to another building by the banks of the Guadalquivir River. Today the building is occupied by the rector's offices and the central services of the University of Sevilla as well as some faculties.

How to Remove Old Device Drivers from Vista & Windows 7
One of the most annoying issues with Windows is when your hardware manufacturer fails to provide a proper driver for the operating system. Even when you do find the proper driver, sometimes the manufacturer releases an updated version which you then need to install on top of the older version. As if that's not enough, every version of Windows from the past 10 years or so, including server versions will retain the older driver binaries even if you upgrade or change hardware.
There is a logic behind this behavior. If, for example, you're using a removable USB disk drive, which has once been plugged in, Windows will install the appropriate driver for it. When you eject that drive, Windows retains the drivers so that they will be ready the next time you connect the drive.
But what about replacing a video adapter? A network interface card? A printer that has been thrown away? What about working with a laptop that you once used to connect to an external device, and has not used that device since? What happens to that driver if you never connect that device to your computer again?
With time, your computer will gather an increasing number of unused drivers that not only take space on your hard disk, having been still installed, they might cause problems if they are somehow enabled. In some cases they can also cause hardware conflicts. And to make things worse, when you do want to use the same device after a long period of inactivity, even if you re-install an updated version of the driver, Windows might still use the older version of it.
So how do you remove these old and un-used drivers? Let me show you.
By default, Device Manager will only show you the devices it's currently using.
phantom-drivers-win7-1
What you need to do is to configure Device Manager to show all those non-present device drivers, sometimes known as "phantom devices".
Warning!
This document contains instructions for editing the registry. If you make any error while editing the registry, you can potentially cause Windows to fail or be unable to boot, requiring you to reinstall Windows. Edit the registry at your own risk. Always back up the registry before making any changes. If you do not feel comfortable editing the registry, do not attempt these instructions. Instead, seek the help of a trained computer specialist.
Method #1:
1. Go to Control Panel and double click on System. You can also right-click "Computer" on the Start menu (or on the desktop if it's shown there) and choose Properties.
Note: A faster way for opening up the System applet is to press the Windows logo key on your keyboard and then press Pause/Break at the same time.
2. Click on "Advance System Settings" link, and then click on the "Environment Variables" button.
phantom-drivers-win7-2
phantom-drivers-win7-3
3. In the System Variables section click on the "New" button.
4. In the New System Variable dialog box, under the Variable Name value enter devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices (just copy the value from here and paste it there) and give it a variable value of 1.
Click Ok.
phantom-drivers-win7-4
5. In the Environment Variables window notice how the new variable appeared in the System Variables section. Click Ok.
6. In the System Properties window click Ok.
7. Log off and log on.
8. Open Device Manager (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager).
9. From the View menu click Show Hidden Devices and notice the change.
phantom-drivers-win7-5
Method #2:
You can perform the same task by using the registry (or even create a logon script that will add the following key to the registry):
1. Open Registry Editor.
2. In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:
3. Create the following value (DWORD):
devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices
and give it a value of 1.
4. Close Registry Editor and reboot.
Important Note: Before removing the old drivers for devices you still use, it's a good idea to find and download the driver updates to a folder on your drive – especially if they're for your networking devices. If you know specifically which drivers need updating you can search for new drivers manually, but if you don't, a driver updater tool can perform an automated search and help you locate the correct downloads.
If you're specifically looking for updates for Windows 7, Device Doctor also has a handy list of the top-requested Windows 7 driver updates to get you started.

Exhibitions: Fugue (Dear Darkness), 2009
My Fugue (Dear Darkness) series forms part of my research into echolalia and the family narrative. Echolalia is an involuntary reflex that involves the repetition or echoing of an utterance from another person. I am concerned with the impulse most people have to repeat family stories and the pattern, repetition and slippage that exist in the retelling of the family narrative.
In these works I have sought to capture the emotive echolalic moment by simulating a record of the reflexive experience to repeat a story. I was intrigued with the idea of what the experience of an echo might look like if you were able to capture it and freeze it just at the crest point of remembrance. What does it look like to be immersed in this way?
The photographs are portraits that have initially been altered through digital layering with images of landscapes and organic material, producing second generation images that have been immersed in water and physically frozen inside a block of ice. Simulating the echo, I re-photographed the portraits inside their block of ice using movement and blur. As a result the images appear marked, stained and blurred.
They are an allegory for the immersive experience of being caught in the echolalic moment.

Method statement for construction
Method statements are widely used in construction as a means of controlling specific health and safety risks that have been identified (perhaps following the preparation of a risk assessment) such as; lifting operations, demolition or dismantling, working at height (such as work on roofs), installing equipment, and the use of plant.
A method statement helps manage the work and ensures that the necessary precautions have been communicated to those involved.
The process of preparing a written method statement provides evidence that:
- Significant health and safety risks have been identified.
- Co-operation of workers has been ensured.
- Safe, co-ordinated systems of work have been put in place.
- Workers have been involved in the process.
Like risk assessments, method statements are not a requirement of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, however they are identified by the Health and Safety Executive as one way of satisfying the requirements of the regulations and as an effective means of assessing risks, managing risks, collecting workers' views and briefing workers. The fact that method statements are not a requirement of the CDM Regulations is evidence of the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE) intention that implementation of the requirements of the CDM Regulations should not be a paper exercise, where the filling out of a standard template is sufficient, but that it should be an integral and fundamental part of the construction process.
At the outset of a project the format in which the method statements are reviewed and used should be set out, this is best done within the Project Execution Plan (or PEP), ensuring not only that the method statement is produced by a competent person, but that it is peer-reviewed as part of the QA system prior to it's use.
Where they are prepared, method statements need be no longer than is necessary for them to be effective. They are for the benefit of those carrying out the work and so should be clear, should not be overcomplicated and should be illustrated where necessary.
Method statements should be written by a competent person who is familiar with the process being described and may need to be agreed between the client, principal contractor and contractor. The HSE suggests that those preparing method statements should consider:
- Is there a safer way of doing this task?
- Will workers actually implement the controls as planned?
- Do these controls make the job difficult or inconvenient?
- Are there small changes that will improve the intended method?
- How will these controls work in adverse conditions, e.g. weather?
- Will workers require additional briefing or instructions?
The contents of a method statement will vary with the work process being described however, they may contain:
- Details of the organisation in control of the activity.
- Details of the individual responsible for the activity.
- A description of the activity.
- A description of how the work will be managed.
- The location of the activity, its boundaries, means of access and how it is segregated from other activities.
- Plant and equipment required.
- The procedure for changing the proposed method of work if necessary.
- A step by step description of the activities to be undertaken.
- Precautions necessary to protect workers, and other people that could be affected, including personal protective equipment and ventilation requirements.
- Training procedures.
- The need for specially-trained operators for certain activities.
- Emergency procedures, including the location of emergency equipment.
- The handling and storage of materials and pollution prevention procedures.
- Temporary works designs.
- The method for safeguarding existing structures.
Together, risk assessments and method statements are sometimes described as 'RAMS'. RAMS may be required by third parties to demonstrate that health and safety has been properly considered and that the requirements of the CDM regulations have been satisfied. For example, a contractor may require submission of RAMS form sub-contractors, a landlord may require submission of RAMS from tenants proposing to carry out works to a property, or a client may require submission of RAMS from contractors operating on their premises.

Mulch has sometimes been known to smoke and heat up, and in some cases, it can even ignite spontaneously. The main issue is that some types of mulch are highly flammable, and the fire they produce can extend to nearby buildings and forests, which can lead to an extensive fire that would threaten human and animal life alike.
Of course, mulch doesn't usually produce fire on its own. Typically, smoking materials such as cigarette buts can make their way to the mulch, and cause it to smoke or even ignite. Also, if the mulch is pushed deeper into the ground, the heat and pressure can build up, leading to it producing an open flame.
To prevent mulch from bursting into an open flame in a dry area, you can take a few precautions:
- Dispose of all your smoking materials responsibly, and avoid smoking in the area where your mulch is located.
- Regularly water your garden to make sure that the mulch is constantly moist – even when there's a drought or the weather is uncommonly warm and dry.
- Use less flammable mulch, such as pine bark nuggets or shredded hardwood.
- Add a rock bed barrier between your garden and any nearby buildings, including your home.

Productions of Langston Hughes' holiday classic Black Nativity are numerous in the DC area this holiday season, but the joint production by ANKH Repertory Theatre and The Finest! Performance Foundation offers an updated, thought-provoking version of this holiday classic. You may have seen Black Nativity before, but you've never seen it like this.
Originally premiering Off-Broadway in 1961, Black Nativity is a retelling of the Nativity story with an entirely African American cast and featuring Christmas carols sung with a gospel twist.
While the second act of this production retains much of the poetry and music from Langston Hughes' original story, Act I features a new adaptation (by co-directors Kelly Chauncey and Kashi-Tara) that tells the story of a shunned woman about to give birth in the context of current political and social tensions.
The adapted story line draws a beautiful parallel between the story of the Virgin Mary and the challenges faced by black citizens in the early 21st century and ends with an uplifting message of hope.
In this updated version of the story, the family at the center of the drama is reeling from the recent unprovoked killing of their son at the hands of a police officer. Complicating the family's reaction is the fact that the family patriarch is himself a police officer. In cleverly written scenes, members of the family hash out their various unique perspectives on how to come to terms with violence against members of the African American community at the hands of police officers.
The theme starts strong out of the gate with the aid of the Arts Barn's video projector which was used skillfully to flash the names of recent shooting victims and photos of Black Lives Matter protests. Familiar names such as Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray, Philando Castile flash before our eyes as two singers (Edward Byrd and Jasmine Prather) clad in choir robes sing a moving original song "We Need Change" composed by Byrd himself.
Edward Byrd gave a strong performance as Chinaka, the police officer whose son was killed. His voice rings out in the "Still Running" reprise. Monisha Coleman, as the pregnant woman Zawadi, displays equally impressive vocal skills throughout the show and especially in the song "Still Running," and she gives a touching monologue near the end of Act I.
Other strong performances were given by Jasmine Prather, who played Issa, Chinaka's husband. Prather's singing framed the show, from the opener "We Need Change" to the closer "On Time God," and several lovely songs in between. My favorite performance was Linae' Bullock as the cantankerous Aunt Leta. Bullock crafted a character who had great energy and presence and her large voice filled the auditorium in "Living in Vain."
Some of the new dialogue could use some polishing and the story line meandered a bit near the end of Act I but in general, I found the story to be simultaneously entertaining and thought-provoking.
Act II featured gospel renditions of many well-known traditional songs such as "Go Tell It On the Mountain" and "Little Drummer Boy" which were beautifully harmonized by the ensemble cast. The show ended with an uplifting dance (choreographed by Kelly Chauncey and Kashi-Tara). Joshua Sommerville (musical and vocal director) skillfully accompanied the entire show on piano. Karen Rawlins, President and CEO of The Finest! Performance Foundation, Inc. provided costume and lighting design.
I recommend ANKH Repertory Theater's production of Black Nativity for anyone with an interest in Langston Hughes and people who enjoy art that inspires thoughtful reflections on social issues.
Running Time: Two hours and 15 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission.
Black Nativity plays weekends through December 18, 2016, at ANKH Repertory Theatre and The Finest! Performance Foundation performing at The Gaithersburg Arts Barn – 311 Kent Square Road, in Gaithersburg, MD. For tickets, call the box office at _PHONE_, or purchase them online.

Welcome to Yale Stress Center
Stress is known to play a key role in many chronic illnesses including chronic pain, heart disease, diabetes, and some forms of cancer. But there has been relatively little research on how people manage their response to stress by engaging in behaviors that worsen their health, such as smoking, excessive use of alcohol, and over eating.
The Yale Stress Center conducts cutting-edge interdisciplinary research that focuses on developing and testing novel treatments to reverse the destructive effects of stress on integrated brain, body and behaviors. Our goal is to develop new prevention and treatment strategies to decrease the harmful impact of stress on health and increase our ability to regulate stress, promote health and wellness, and have better self-control over addictive behavior.

A new approach to real-time joint classification and classifier design is proposed in this paper. It is based on the recently developed evolving fuzzy system (EFS) method and is applied to mobile robotics. The approach s t m from subtractive clustering method and its on-line evolving extension called eclustering. A new formula for data potential (spatial density) determination based on the participatory learning and data scatter concepts is introduced in the paper that is computationally simpler and more intuitive. An EFS-based self-organking classifier (eClass) is designed by automatic labding the landmarks that are detected in real-time The proposed approach makes possible fully autonomous and unsupervised joint landmark detection and recognition without the use of absolute coordinates, any communication link or any pr&raining. The proposed algorithm is recursive, nowiterative, one pass and thus cornputationally inexpensive and suitable for real-time applications. Extensive simulations as well as real-life tests has b m carried out in an indoor environment (an office located at InfoLab21, Lancmter University) using Pioneer3 DX mobile robotic platform equipped with sonar and motion sensors and on-board PC. The results indicate superior rates of recognition, flexibility, and computational demands of the proposed approach comparing with the previously published similar methods. Further investigations will be directed towards development of a cooperative scheme, tests in a realistic outdoor environment, and the presence of moving obstacles. (c) IEEE Press

The Toledo Blade reports on Modern Chemistry and Ancient Medicine:
A team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have begun using modern chemistry to identify key ingredients in ancient Egyptian medicines. Chemical testing techniques have allowed scientists to identify certain herbs and other ingredients that were added to wine. The mixture had medicinal qualities that were so highly valued that people traveled from abroad to seek them. Some ingredients were recorded as hieroglyphs, and these inscriptions are being used as well to help with the identification of the medicinal ingredients.
Recently two clay jars, one approximately 1,500 years old and the other as old as 5,000 years, have provided residue that can be identified as herbs such as coriander and rosemary. Some researchers, including scientists from Penn's Abramson Cancer Center, are testing these ancient remedies to see if the herbalists of antiquity were on to anything with their concoctions. By taking these ancient compounds and applying them to modern medical studies such as cancer research, scientists are effectively using archaeology to gain greater knowledge of modern science.

Optimal financial repression
In the article there are analyzes the direction of reforming of institutional regulation of pension transfers in the developed world and in Ukraine. On the basis of the institutional approach argumented the importance of the transition to a funded pension system as adequate market conditions. Analyzed institutional factors limiting its introduction in Ukraine.
Financial repression in the form of regulated expansion of demand for public bonds with below-market rate of return stabilizes public debt and decreases its service cost. This helps financing of fiscal stimuli programs in times of economic recession and high public sector indebtedness. But being implicit and distortionary taxation of households, financial repression interferes with market mechanisms and can decrease the effectiveness of fiscal stimulus. In this paper we augment the New Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with the elements of financial repression to evaluate the impact of financial repression on fiscal multipliers. We compare different regimes of finance of fiscal expansion and confirm that lump-sum taxation delivers the highest multiplier, while proportional labor income taxation leads to substantial distortions and decreases the effectiveness of fiscal stimulus. Most importantly, we show that tighter financial repression in the form of higher requirement for households to hold public debt only marginally decreases the fiscal multiplier. At the same time, tightening repression by decreasing the rate of return on public bonds leads to higher fiscal multiplier. This result is in line with the literature, which shows higher effectiveness of fiscal stimuli under zero lower bound in the money market. We also estimate the short- and the long-run impact of financial repression on public debt. Under substantial inflation inertia, positive monetary policy shock provides long lasting effect of the liquidation of public debt.
The ageing of the population and the imbalance of public finances force governments to carry out pension reforms in order to insure the sustainability of pension systems. The reforming of social security systems is becoming even more urgent as the government ability to cover the deficit of pension funds with transfers from federal budgets is limited. The paper presents the modification of overlapping generations model developed by [Heijdra, Bettendorf, 2006]. The model was extended to account for the unbalanced pension system and endogenous interest rate, important in estimation of pension expenses. We consider an optimal combination of fiscal instruments depending on the retirement age, life expectancy and productivity of labour and compare social welfare in the case of balanced and unbalanced pension system. The welfare analysis shows that financing the pension fund deficit via income taxes is a part of optimal policy. It was also shown that when the deficit of the pension fund is covered by the government, income tax and social contributions are perfect substitutes when the interior solution is considered. Thus in case of balanced pension system optimal social contributions are positive and are used to finance pensions, while optimal income tax rate does not depend on the rate of population growth. In the case of unbalanced pension system, the maximization of welfare function points in favour of corner solution with zero social contributions and positive income tax, which depends on population growth, retirement age and labour productivity. While an unbalanced pension system with optimally chosen fiscal instruments allows to achieve higher social welfare due to higher level of capital per efficiency unit of labor and lower equilibrium level of public debt.
Smoking is a problem, bringing signifi cant social and economic costs to Russiansociety. However, ratifi cation of the World health organization Framework conventionon tobacco control makes it possible to improve Russian legislation accordingto the international standards. So, I describe some measures that should be taken bythe Russian authorities in the nearest future, and I examine their effi ciency. By studyingthe international evidence I analyze the impact of the smoke-free areas, advertisementand sponsorship bans, tax increases, etc. on the prevalence of smoking, cigaretteconsumption and some other indicators. I also investigate the obstacles confrontingthe Russian authorities when they introduce new policy measures and the public attitudetowards these measures. I conclude that there is a number of easy-to-implementanti-smoking activities that need no fi nancial resources but only a political will.
One of the most important indicators of company's success is the increase of its value. The article investigates traditional methods of company's value assessment and the evidence that the application of these methods is incorrect in the new stage of economy. So it is necessary to create a new method of valuation based on the new main sources of company's success that is its intellectual capital.


The number of inhabitants of the riflemen who are reaching maturity and the measurement of the injured shooters as a whole opens the way to the recognition of the crossbows. Many states are now opening their crossbow effective hunting seasons and it is up to us as trackers to do as well as we would expect when hunting. There are the essentials that every tracker must think about before taking off in forested areas, but the crossbows offer their own remarkable situation. It's like the looks and it's not a great weapon, but its shots are extraordinary. It is like a vertical arc, but its level direction changes the direction of the bolt. Here are some tips that are regularly overlooked to improve hunting skills.
Part of crossbow hunting that is often overlooked is the question of incline. This is primarily a beginner crossbow client related difficulty, but tends to occur for more experienced shooters as well. Tilt occurs when your arc does not coincide with the ground, making one of the appendages taller than the others. This can happen regularly to more advanced trackers who fire from a position located in light of the body's characteristic tilt to aim the arc when we enter the firing position. This problem can be solved by focusing on the appendages corresponding to the ground when repeating.
You also need to make sure it is properly aligned on your location gadget. Most tracking devices are intended to operate at a distance of 30 to 50 meters. In order to properly fire a crossbow, you must also understand the direction of your beams and their connection to sight. If you see your device correctly, then your beam will bolt upward when you focus on your creature from a specific separation. This will make up for the management and simplify your life.

Let's Go on Safari! - Book Reading and Signing
What happens when Kate, an 8-year-old girl from Austin, Texas, meets Michelle, a professional wildlife guide, while on safari in South Africa? The two new friends turn their adventures into a book encouraging kids everywhere to advocate for wild animals!
Kate Gilman Williams wrote Let's Go On Safari! when she was 8 years old, following a trip to South Africa with her family. On a safari adventure, she became friends with their guide, Michelle Campbell, who taught her about the many threats facing wildlife. Kate came home determined to do something to protect wild animals whose survival was being endangered by humans – and she knew her young generation could be inspired to help.
Michelle Campbell was born in South Africa and schooled in the UK. Working first as an economist, it was her love for nature that drew her back home to South Africa, where she worked as a safari guide for 6 years. She then spent a year volunteering for wildlife projects (living in her Land Rover!), documenting and sharing her conservation adventures on her website, Wild Wonderful World. Today she is working on conservation projects of her own, advocating for wildlife and encouraging children, through education and exposure, to get involved in saving wildlife.

On February 9, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) released an announcement about updates that postsecondary institutions must make to their cybersecurity and data protection policies in order to comply with the Federal Trade Commission's amended Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information (Safeguards Rule), a component of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). The effective date for most of the changes to the Safeguards Rule is June 9, 2023. The announcement provides a summary of the changes to the Safeguards Rule, explains the impacts of the changes on postsecondary institutions, and describes changes to ED's enforcement of the GLBA requirements.
As background, and as discussed here, the Safeguards Rule requires nonbanking financial institutions to develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive information security program to keep their customers' information safe. The amended Safeguards Rule requires more specific criteria for what safeguards financial institutions must implement as part of their information security programs. Title IV schools that have agreed to participate in federal student financial aid programs must comply with the Safeguards Rule to protect student financial aid information.
Notably, the Safeguards Rule uses the terms "customer" and "customer information." For a postsecondary institution, customer information is information obtained when providing a financial service to a student (past or present). According ED's announcement, institutions provide a financial service when they, among other things; make institutional loans, including income share agreements; or certify or service a private education loan on behalf of a student. The inclusion of income share agreements to the announcement is consistent with ED's prior statement that income share agreements are private education loans under the Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z.
An institution's written information security program must include the following nine elements (seven if the institution maintains information on less than 5,000 students):
- A designated qualified individual responsible for overseeing and implementing the institution's security program.
- A risk assessment that identifies reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks to the security, confidentiality, and integrity of student information.
- Safeguards to control the risks the institution identifies through its risk assessment.
- Regular testing and monitoring of the safeguards.
- Policies and procedures to ensure that personnel can enact the information security program.
- Oversight of the information system service providers.
- Evaluation and adjustment of its information security program in light of the results of the required testing and monitoring
- The establishment of an incident response plan.
- Periodic (at least annual) reports from the designated qualified individual to those with control over the institution.
ED plans to conduct compliance audits and any GLBA findings will have the same effect on an institution's participation in the Title IV programs as any other determination of non-compliance and will require resolution through a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) or put the institution's participation in the Title IV programs at risk.

THE SHRINKAGE OF A WATER SURFACE:
SAN FRANCISCO BAY
THE SHRINKAGE OF A WATER SURFACE:
COPYRIGHT © 2001 Paul R. Baumann
San Francisco Bay, a water body of inspiring beauty and imposing magnitude, covers an area of over 450 square miles (1,165.5 square kilometers) in size. Outlined by softly shaped hills and low mountains it extends for approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers) in its north-south length and from 12 miles (19 kilometers) down to one (1.6 kilometers) mile in its east-west width. It opens to the Pacific Ocean through a spectacular gap called the Golden Gate. The Bay provides a large and refreshing open space for the millions of people who live and work in the crowded urban and suburban landscapes ringing its shores.
Figure 1 provides an overview of the Bay region. This Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+)digital image was recorded during the late spring period of 1999. It is a true color composite generated by combining ETM+ spectral bands 3 (visible-red), 2 (visible-green), and 1 (visible-blue) as red, green, and blue, respectively. The image covers the San Francisco Bay and Delta region. The cities of San Francisco and Oakland can be seen to the left of center. The bright white areas correspond to urban areas, which surround the Bay. San Pablo and Suisun Bays are to the northwest of center and the Sacramento River is shown in the north/northeast portion of the image. The combination of the three visible bands makes it possible to detect the flow of water and build-up of sedimentation within the Bay. The large green areas in the northeast section of the image are agricultural fields in the Delta region of the Central Valley of California. The bright green colored features at the south end of the Bay are diked salt ponds.
This biologically rich and psychologically serene environment is quietly and steadily being modified by the encroachment of various human activities. The Bay is shrinking in size through different sedimentation processes. The goal of this instructional module is to develop a methodology using satellite imagery to identify those water areas within the Bay facing the immediate danger of disappearing and determine the amount of area in immediate danger. This methodology employs a Landsat 7 ETM+ data set (taken July 7, 1999), which covers a study area of 1501 rows by 1501 elements in size. This data set not only includes San Francisco Bay but also the urban development around it.
The Problem: The Shrinkage of the Bay
San Francisco Bay is facing some major environmental problems, foremost among these is the sedimentation, and thereby, the shrinkage of the Bay. In 1850, San Francisco Bay along with San Pablo and Suisun bays covered around 680 square miles (1761 square kilometers). By 1970, 250 square miles (647 square kilometers) of water surface, mainly around the shores, had disappeared. See Figure 2. This rapid reduction in the size of the Bay corresponds to the growth and spread of human activities around the Bay's shoreline, initially as agricultural development and salt pond construction followed by industrialization and urbanization. Diking and filling in with trash and dry fill to create land for port facilities, airports, roads, industrial-commercial developments, and housing areas has been the main justification for reducing the bay's overall size. Diking has also been done to make salt ponds.
Figure 3, produced under Project Gigalopolis at the University of California at Santa Barbara, shows the development and spread (in red) of the urban landscape within the Bay area from 1800 to 2100. The years from 1800 to 1990 are based on actual census counts and the years after 1990 relate to population projections. In 1990, the San Francisco-Oakland Metropolitan area had a population of over six million people, making it the fourth largest urban concentration in the United States. In displaying the future population growth around the Bay, Figure 3 is also illustrating the magnitude of the problem of keeping the Bay from shrinking.
Of the nearly 430 square miles (1114 square kilometers) left, little over half is less than 12 feet (3.66 meters) deep and can be easily and quickly filled. If filled, the Bay would shrink to 187 square miles (484 square kilometers) and sections would be basically converted into rivers. Unlike the Chesapeake, Delaware, and other bays located along the Atlantic coastline, San Francisco Bay rests completely within the political domain of one state. However, its shores fall within nine counties and thirty-two cities with various vested interests. To complicate further the jurisdiction and control issue, about twenty-two percent of the Bay's bottomland is in private ownership with another twenty-three percent owned by cities and other local governments. Most of this bottomland is situated around the Bay's present shoreline where most future development is likely to occur. California controls about fifty percent of the Bay's bottom and the Federal government only has about five percent. Fortunately, the U.S. Corps of Engineers now has jurisdiction over all tidelands below mean high tide within the Bay. Because of this jurisdiction permits are now required for any diking or filling in, and to obtain a permit public notification and an environmental impact study are required. In addition, the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) was established to bring together the various interest groups concerned about the use and development of the Bay and to prepare a plan. The BCDC points out that as the result of its efforts the filling process has dropped from 2300 acres (931 ha) per year before 1965 to now 15 acres (6 ha) per year. Also, the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge was created in the southern part of the bay and most of the salt ponds reside within the refuge. Pond diking can significantly modify tidal zone habitats where salt water and fresh water blend to form biologically rich environments. These various governmental attempts to protect the Bay can have an impact on the large and more publicized endeavors to fill in sections of the Bay.
However, the harder issue relates to how to control the acceleration of sedimentation due mainly to the increased paving of urban and suburban land surfaces which creates more and faster runoff of storm water. Due to growing environmental concerns about storm water runoff, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) act was passed. The goal of NPDES is the reduction and elimination of pollutants in storm water discharge from large and medium size municipal storm sewer systems. Large sewer systems serve populations greater than 250,000 and medium size systems deal with populations between 100,000 and 250,000. In the implementation of this act, the United States Environmental Protection Agency published a series of regulations in November 1990 requiring municipalities and industries to obtain NPDES storm water permits. Since no Federal funds were made available to achieve this mandated program, each local government has been faced with finding funds within its own budget, which generally means an increase in local property taxes.
The Physical Environment
The climate of the Bay area can be described best as having warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Under the Koeppen climatic classification system the area is defined as a Coastal Mediterranean climate (Csb). September is the warmest month with daily temperatures generally in the 70's. January is the coolest month but winter temperatures rarely reach the freezing level. It is slightly warmer on the east shore of the Bay than the west shore. Total rainfall is about 20 inches during the year, coming predominately in the winter. Figure 4 is a climatic data chart showing the monthly average temperatures and precipitation levels at the Oakland Airport. It illustrates the mild temperatures throughout the year and the summer dry condition. Fog, generally associated with San Francisco, occurs mainly on the Pacific side of the city. The coastal mountains and hills keep most of the daytime fog from reaching within the Bay area.
During the summer the climate is associated with stable air coming from a subtropical high-pressure cell located over the Pacific Ocean, near the California coast. Being so close to the land, due to the California cold ocean current, the air from the cell has little opportunity to collect any moisture from water surfaces to provide rainfall. Precipitation amounts, during this period of the year, correspond to semiarid and arid conditions. During the winter when the entire global circulation system migrates southward, the subtropical high-pressure cell situated off of the California coast shifts south. This movement allows the westerlies from the cell to travel over more water before reaching the Bay area, and thereby, bringing in more precipitation. This rain comes mainly in the form of cyclonic precipitation but the hills throughout the Bay area do produce some orographic rainfall. In some years the subtropical high-pressure cell does not shift away from its summer position resulting in a dry winter. After the normal dry summer, a dry winter followed by a second dry summer results in a drought situation. With respect to storm water runoff and sedimentation the winter is a much more active period especially at the beginning of the winter rainy season when impervious urban surfaces are covered with tremendous amounts of grit and hillsides are bare of vegetation from a long, dry summer.
Due to the excellent climate in the Bay area few homes need air conditioning. However, the filling of the Bay can significantly change this situation. The daily tidal flow within the Bay serves as a natural air conditioning system. Decreasing the volume and surface area of water adversely impacts this system. It also increases the probability of more temperature inversions, the prime condition for air pollution and smog. In addition to the tidal flow, the salt ponds maintain the water level, and thereby,


lowercase execute, followed by the exact action name with the first letter capitalized.
In order to request an action, you need to call the front controller script with the module name and action name as parameters. By default, this is done by appending the couple module_name/action_name to the script. This means that the action defined in Listing 6-4 can be called by this URL:
http://localhost/index.php/mymodule/index
Adding more actions just means adding more execute methods to the sfActions object, as shown in Listing 6-5.
Listing 6-5 - Action Class with Two Actions, in myapp/modules/mymodule/actions/actions.class.php
class mymoduleActions extends sfActions
{
 public function executeIndex()
 {
 ...
 }

 public function executeList()
 {
 ...
 }
}
If the size of an action class grows too much, you probably need to do some refactoring and move some code to the model layer. Actions should often be kept short (not more than a few lines), and all the business logic should usually be in the model.
Still, the number of actions in a module can be important enough to lead you to split it in two modules.
sidebar
Symfony coding standards
In the code examples given in this book, you probably noticed that the opening and closing curly braces ({ and }) occupy one line each. This standard makes the code easier to read.
Among the other coding standards of the framework, indentation is always done by two blank spaces; tabs are not used. This is because tabs have a different space value according to the text editor you use, and because code with mixed tab and blank indentation is impossible to read.
Core and generated symfony PHP files do not end with the usual ?> closing tag. This is because it is not really needed, and because it can create problems in the output if you ever have blanks after this tag.
And if you really pay attention, you will see that a line never ends with a blank space in symfony. The reason, this time, is more prosaic: lines ending with blanks look ugly in Fabien's text editor.
Alternative Action Class Syntax
An alternative action syntax is available to dispatch the actions in separate files, one file per action. In this case, each action class extends sfAction (instead of sfActions) and is named actionNameAction. The actual action method is simply named execute. The file name is the same as the class name. This means that the equivalent of Listing 6-5 can be written with the two files shown in Listings 6-6 and 6-7.
Listing 6-6 - Single Action File, in myapp/modules/mymodule/actions/indexAction.class.php
class indexAction extends sfAction
{
 public function execute()
 {
 ...
 }
}
Listing 6-7 - Single Action File, in myapp/modules/mymodule/actions/listAction.class.php
class listAction extends sfAction
{
 public function execute()
 {
 ...
 }
}
Retrieving Information in the Action
The action class offers a way to access controller-related information and the core symfony objects. Listing 6-8 demonstrates how to use them.
Listing 6-8 - sfActions Common Methods
class mymoduleActions extends sfActions
{
 public function executeIndex()
 {
 // Retrieving request parameters
 $password = $this->getRequestParameter('password');

 // Retrieving controller information
 $moduleName = $this->getModuleName();
 $actionName = $this->getActionName();

 // Retrieving framework core objects
 $request = $this->getRequest();
 $userSession = $this->getUser();
 $response = $this->getResponse();
 $controller = $this->getController();
 $context = $this->getContext();

 // Setting action variables to pass information to the template
 $this->setVar('foo', 'bar');
 $this->foo = 'bar'; // Shorter version

 }
}
sidebar
The context singleton
You already saw, in the front controller, a call to sfContext::getInstance(). In an action, the getContext() method returns the same singleton. It is a very useful object that stores a reference to all the symfony core objects related to a given request, and offers an accessor for each of them:
sfController: The controller object (->getController()) sfRequest: The request object (->getRequest()) sfResponse: The response object (->getResponse()) sfUser: The user session object (->getUser()) sfDatabaseConnection: The database connection (->getDatabaseConnection()) sfLogger: The logger object (->getLogger()) sfI18N: The internationalization object (->getI18N())
You can call the sfContext::getInstance() singleton from any part of the code.
Action Termination
Various behaviors are possible at the conclusion of an action's execution. The value returned by the action method determines how the view will be rendered. Constants of the sfView class are used to specify which template is to be used to display the result of the action.
If there is a default view to call (this is the most common case), the action should end as follows:
return sfView::SUCCESS;
Symfony will then look for a template called actionNameSuccess.php. This is defined as the default action behavior, so if you omit the return statement in an action method, symfony will also look for an actionNameSuccess.php template. Empty actions will also trigger that behavior. See Listing 6-9 for examples of successful action termination.
Listing 6-9 - Actions That Will Call the indexSuccess.php and listSuccess.php Templates
public function executeIndex()
{
 return sfView::SUCCESS;
}

public function executeList()
{
}
If there is an error view to call, the action should end like this:
return sfView::ERROR;
Symfony will then look for a template called actionNameError.php.
To call a custom view, use this ending:
return 'MyResult';
Symfony will then look for a template called actionNameMyResult.php.
If there is no view to call--for instance, in the case of an action executed in a batch process--the action should end as follows:
return sfView::NONE;
No template will be executed in that case. It means that you can bypass completely the view layer and set the response HTML code directly from an action. As shown in Listing 6-10, symfony provides a specific renderText() method for this case. This can be useful when you need extreme responsiveness of the action, such as for Ajax interactions, which will be discussed in Chapter 11.
Listing 6-10 - Bypassing the View by Echoing the Response and Returning sfView::NONE
public function executeIndex()
{
 $this->getResponse()->setContent("Hello, World!");

 return sfView::NONE;
}

// Is equivalent to
public function executeIndex()
{
 return $this->renderText("Hello, World!");
}
In some cases, you need to send an empty response but with some headers defined in it (especially the X-JSON header). Define the headers via the sfResponse object, discussed in the next chapter, and return the sfView::HEADER_ONLY constant, as shown in Listing 6-11.
Listing 6-11 - Escaping View Rendering and Sending Only Headers
public function executeRefresh()
{
 $output = '<"title","My basic letter"],["name","Mr Brown">';
 $this->getResponse()->setHttpHeader("X-JSON", '('.$output.')');

 return sfView::HEADER_ONLY;
}
If the action must be rendered by a specific template, ignore the return statement and use the setTemplate() method instead.
$this->setTemplate('myCustomTemplate');
Skipping to Another Action
In some cases, the action execution ends by requesting a new action execution. For instance, an action handling a form submission in a POST request usually redirects to another action after updating the database. Another example is an action alias: the index action is often a way to display a list, and actually forwards to a list action.
The action class provides two methods to execute another action:
 - If the action forwards the call to another action:
 $this->forward('otherModule', 'index');
 - If

Pupils as young as seven are abusing teachers and making threats against them on social media, a new poll has claimed.
The study, conducted by the NASUWT teaching union, added parents were also using online networks to ridicule and critique school staff and to make allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
Those questioned in the survey said they had suffered racial abuse and comments about their sexuality.
One educator said a parent had called them 'a nasty teacher' and told them to go 'home'.
Another added: 'I had a video taken from the corridor while discussing a report card with another pupil.
'I was then accused of calling the pupil a bitch when I did not.'
The highest percentage of offending pupils were aged between 11 and 16 but some were as young as seven.
Many teachers were reluctant to report online abuse because they thought it wouldn't be taken seriously, according to the survey that questioned more than 7,500 people.
NASUWT's general secretary, Chris Keates, said teachers needed to be protected.

Adding pages to NavigationPane as an object
As part of creating the Marketing application for work, I had to use a NavigationPane in Cascades. The idea behind the NavigationPane is to stack Pages on top of Pages in order to navigate forward and backward through the pages. In the application I am building, there are a bunch of questions and a comment section for the user to answer. Each of the question pages uses a ListView to display a list of choices based on an xml page. This was pretty straight forward when using the StandardListItem as the component. I had to make sure that the title Continue reading Adding pages to NavigationPane as an object
Date Sort in a DataGrid – the easy way
While trying to give suggestions to a post on the Flex Forum, I modified my Simple Data Grid to include a column for a Date. The poster had an issue with sorting the column with dates in it. My guess is, the Date value is actually a String object. It really isn't very hard to create a Date from a string, just parse out the String and feed the appropriate date times into the Date object. Here is how I create the random date value. Since I insert the value into the item Object as a Date object, the sort Continue reading Date Sort in a DataGrid – the easy way

Somewhere along the evolutionary path from proto-simian through hominid, something got lost. A skill possibly instinctive, but most likely cultural. Taught from generation to generation, "Monkey See, Monkey Do".
Now, though it's taken awhile, a network of interlinked computers spanning the planet is propagating this rediscovered knowledge.
How to peel a banana, properly.
Human see, Human do. It is our way to propagate knowledge through prosthetic memory though, be it cuneiform tablet or Internet video. It's our style, what we as a species, do.
Yes, I've tried it. The only bit that gets squished is the fibrous black bit on the end that no-one eats anyway, and the stalk provides a convenient handle. Be warned though, the end bit isn't anchored firmly to the skin, so the whole banana slips out rather easily if you're not careful and peel too far.

Part of the answer refers to GPT, GPT_Pro better problem solving
STPA(System theory Process Analysis) is a failure mode and effect analysis tool based on system theory. It is mainly used for the safety evaluation of aircraft systems. It helps pilots and engineers, as well as other practitioners, assess the safety of aircraft systems, identify the possibility that they are unsafe, and take effective action to address the problem.
The use of
STPA has two main steps, one is to conduct failure mode analysis(FMEA), the other is to conduct effect analysis(ETA). FMEA is a safety assessment method based on failure mode, through analyzing various failure modes that may appear on the aircraft, and evaluating their possible impact. ETA is a problem-oriented safety assessment method, which analyzes various problems that may occur on an aircraft and evaluates their possible impact.
To get started with STPA quickly, we must first master the basic principles and processes of STPA use. The STPA uses a standardized process to evaluate aircraft safety. The first step is to analyze the various conditions or failure modes that a pilot, engineer, or other practitioner might encounter while operating the aircraft. On this basis, these situations or failure modes are analyzed, evaluated and judged according to the standard process and flow chart provided by STPA.
Secondly, it is necessary to learn the various mathematical and information tools used in STPA, such as causal graph, semantic net, security hierarchy analysis, algebraic factor decomposition, possibility hidden decomposition, probability calculation, decision tree, neural network, genetic algorithm and Bayesian net. Learn how they work and how to use them, and then use them to help us evaluate aircraft safety.
Finally, learn how to apply STPA to your own paper. Learn how to apply the principles of STPA to your own paper, such as using STPA to analyze possible failure situations or problems on a particular aircraft; STPA is used to evaluate and judge various problems that may occur on specific aircraft. STPA is used to evaluate and judge various risk factors that may appear on the aircraft under specific circumstances. STPA is used to help us find out the unsafe factors on the aircraft and put forward the corresponding countermeasures.
In conclusion, STPA is a good tool, and learning how to use it will greatly help us prepare and evaluate aircraft safety in our paper.
If the answer is helpful, please accept it.
