The year 2000 started well. I was an ecstatic little boy graduating from elementary school in provincial Japan. Finally, I was joining the "big boys" at the middle school across the street, donning the cool uniforms that I observed in pure envy for the past six years. Change was afoot, and I was so ready to embrace it. Instead, the change was much more radical than I had ever imagined. Instead of moving across the street, father came home one day and notified that our whole family is moving to the USA, thousands of miles away.

Can Reducing Focus on Finding Good Food Lead to More Productivity?
There is no doubt that that rural Africa is not a desirable destination for food-lovers. This blog has reiterated that fact repeatedly in previous blog posts. So, logically speaking, someone who loves food but have not had the chance to enjoy many different kinds of it should make every effort to enjoy that great variety after leaving rural Africa. Without going to excess, the person should be finding the most delicious spots around town, so that s/he can make up lost times of eating rice and beans everyday in rural Africa. And the person would absolutely enjoy that exercise.

A Person's Past Should Not be Simply Dismissed as Static History
It has been some six ears since I was last at my parents' house in San Diego. And it has been more than ten since I properly lived in it as a high school student. Returning the place where I studied, slept, and waited for news of being able to finally leave for school somewhere else, I noticed, before everything else, just how little the place has changed over the last decade. The same books I read then, the same furniture that I sat on, and the same decorations that I stared at still grace the house, with all of them in exactly the same places that I would have found them a decade ago.

The Benefits of Not Being the Family's Embrace
This author grew up around the world. From taking his first trip outside the country when he was age five, he has rarely stayed in any place for more than a few years before moving to the next location with his family. Courtesy of such experiences, he never had the opportunity to meet many of his distant relatives, many of whom are still in China, nor had he the chance to step into his ancestral hometown. One reason among many that pushed him to attend the wedding of his cousin (who he has also not met more than once every half a decade or so) is so that he can at least say hi to these relatives he has only heard about but never met.

At What Point Does One Become Too Old for Birthday Celebrations?
The optimist will righteously cry out "never!" but the reality is, birthday celebration for a grown adult just do not have the magic feel that a 5-year-old would feel for his or hers. The kid, looking forward to the imaginary greatness of adulthood, cannot wait for celebration of being one year closer to that goal. But during past years of rather low-key birthday celebrations, the author never failed to wonder whether that purportedly "goal" was achieved, and by extension, whether it was worth getting excited about in the first place in his earlier years.

Homey Feel of an Inner City American Ghetto
For those who do not know, the author first landed in the US at age 12, in a neighborhood called Roxbury in Boston, MA. Any Bostonian would timidly tell you that this is one of the city's roughest neighborhoods, a classic inner city African-American area with high crime rate, poverty, and plenty of dilapidation in a formerly industrial neighborhood. Despite being almost directly south of the city's downtown areas, the 'hood that is Roxbury sees little sign of gentrification that has made restored the historical glory of the downtown, only helping to accentuate its continued obviously rundown nature through contrast.

Cinematic Resonance with the "Ordinary"
When mentioning Japanese films, those in the know often come up with a few titles of horror ("the Ring" being the most well-known to a Western audience), cheesy tales of lost love (the list of tear-jerkers in this category goes on and on), or gruesome social critiques that evokes thoughts through exaggerations ("the Suicide Club" is a highly suggested film in this genre). In all three, the ability to use an effective script for storytelling, often with limited budgets common for Japan's relatively small domestic market, is a key for success.

The Erotic Sounds of a Capsule Hotel
As previously mentioned, traveling in Japan is an expensive affair. This is true not only for casual foreign passers-by but also for tens of thousands of Japanese business travelers who need to keep their company's budgets in line but get to places promptly and rapidly. For them, staying far away from train stations and other nodes of public transportation simply is not a viable option. To be on-time to visit their clients and return to headquarters, they need to keep to downtown areas where they can come and go quickly.

The One Who Wants Time to Stop
The author met a former coworker from Rakuten, who he has not met in some four years since he quickly departed from the company after less than a year of work. Interestingly enough, he had met her on the very day she was handing in her marriage registration. The author, not someone eager in communication, obviously had no idea of the fact that she was getting married, or that she was in a serious relationship at all. Surprising at it seems, four years is not a short time for a person to grow up. It gives a person much time to proceed with personal plans outside the career path.

The Exceptions to "History is Written by the Victors"
For those who are knowledgeable about modern history of Japan, Kagoshima is very much considered a pivotal place. Led by the open-minded Shimazu family, the former Satsuma domain remained in contact with the outside world, absorbing Western technologies and ideologies during the long self-isolation imposed by the Tokugawa Shogunate. As the 19th century saw the forced opening of the Shogunate to Western military coercion, the leaders of Satsuma emerged to lead the reformist movement in Japan to modernize the country, ending the Shogunate and rapidly catching up with the West with Meiji Restoration.

"Omotenashi" in the Red Light District
"Omotenashi" (おもてなし) is a cultural concept that the Japanese are deeply proud of. While difficult to translate directly into other languages, it pertains to attentiveness toward small details when dealing with customers in the service industry. Often, it is most visibly displayed in the meticulous training Japanese personnel receives on what kind of languages and gestures to use under what circumstances when speaking to clients, as well as the little things Japanese restaurants and hotels use, such as tools and signage, to make customer feel comfortable and convenient while dining.

The Happiness of the Supposedly "Incompetent"
The older generation of Japanese often lament that the youth in the country are not aggressive or ambitious enough. They are easily satisfied by the status quo and seem to be quite narrow-minded and short-sighted on how they see the changing world around them, much unlike the older generation that has experienced so much of sudden changes in their lifetimes. The elders say want the youth to go out there to the big cities and outside Japan, so that they can become global citizens capable of changing not just their country but be a much more active force in global affairs than Japanese have ever been.

A Legend in a Legendary Town
"Hey, do you know what time is it now?" A fairly normal-looking elderly man casually asked the author as he was walking down the backstreets of Nagasaki. Given the time, the elderly did not simply walk away. Instead, he pointed the author to the nearest streetcar station (without the author's prompting), and motioned the author to walk with him as he was heading toward the same direction. The author was a little hesitant at the beginning as he was eager to head to the next major scenic spot in the scenic port town, but little did he know that he was about to speak to one of the most legendary figures from a legendary time.

Charting the Unpredictability of a Distant Future
Given that this is 3 days from the author's (once again) departure from Malaysia, the author is has a very relaxing time not doing much, well, at all. Reflecting back on the another year spent here required so inputs so the author found himself watching the new Terminator movie that just came out across the theaters here in Malaysia. While there is little notable about the plot worthy of in-depth discussion here, this particular installation in the series put a much stronger emphasis on the ability of time travel to change events, and the idea that knowledge about events in different timelines can be simultaneously had by one person.

Cynicism of Ideals and Idealism of Cynics
Southeast Asia used to be (and in many ways still is) a playground for some of the largest developmental organizations in the world. The fact that Asian Development Bank has its headquarters in the region, along with multiple offices of UNDP and aspiring smaller NGOs, says much about how modern developmental work has shaped Southeast Asian economies. Indeed, the long presence of aid organizations here have contributed much to how people locally perceive themselves, seeing themselves often as the deservedly unfortunate individuals who should receive the constant developmental support they are receiving.

The Social Disease of "Being Satisfied with One's Lot"
It was field meeting day at a small Tanzanian village 45 minutes down a one-lane dirt path from the nearest paved main road. The staff of the NGO, which honorably hosted the author in his three-day visit, was waiting in the village's main "square" for the farmers' arrival. The field team has been working hard all day to go door to door, getting people's commitment to show up for a 2pm meeting that explains in detail what programs the NGO has to offer to help farmers increase their yields for the next planting season.

The Origin of Tiresomeness (the Mental Kind)
Perhaps it is not the specific attributes of certain individuals to feel tired out of the blue, for no reason in particular. There was no exercise of any sort done recently, nor has there been any particular mental task that required so much thinking that it strains the body for just supplying oxygen to the brain. A person can just sit there, surf the Internet, be completely passive for a couple of hours, and still manage to feel absolutely tired out in a short period of time. It really makes the person think about exactly what is causing the energy drain.

Asian Cuisine's Perplexing Partiality of Vegetarianism
The author, being a skinny man that he has been for the past God-knows-how-long, has never really been too careful on the foods he eats. The logic is that, given the lack of body fat, high intakes of fattening foods should not be too problematic as long as certain precautions are taken. And the author has been doing some of that, mostly avoiding fried snacks like potato chips and carbonated sodas, while keeping alcohol consumption to a social minimum. Yes, there is lack of exercise, but he never thought of himself as terribly unhealthy.

How to make notes from newspapers for UPSC
We all accept the fact that reading newspapers is important for preparation of competitive exams. It becomes even more important for current affairs heavy exams like the Civil Services and for all UPSC exams for that matter. It is also important for exams like Bank PO and SSC.
There is so much to read in a newspaper everyday. It is virtually impossible to read each and everything and remember it. I would even say that reading everything and trying to remember everything is more harmful than it is helpful.
The question is how do we read so much stuff and how do we make meaningful notes out of it.
Here are seven steps on how to read the newspaper and make notes from the perspective of competitive exams.
Step 1.
Understand the different sections of the newspaper.
There are sections which cover events. These sections could be on different topics such as politics, environment, science, technology, business, and sports.
Editorial sections contains opinions and analysis on different subjects and often contains point of views.
Review sections contain evaluations of different products, technologies, or strategies.
Understand that different sections contain different types of information and must be read differently.
Step 2.
Learn to ignore small and trivial incidents. Do not waste time on a controversy around a statement or a small result of a contest. Focus on bigger issues.
Step 3.
Read the review and editorial sections very carefully. This is one reason we update editorials of leading newspapers on UPSCguide FB page.
Step 4.
Mark the important news and create a list of events, people, outcomes.
Step 5.
Associate the items in the list with other people, and events. For example, if Gulzar received the Dada Saheb Phalke award, who won it last year?
Step 6.
Do not waste time on meaningless entertainment section. I am not asking you to avoid entertainment, just keep it separate from serious study.
Step 7.
Last and foremost, be regular. Stay updated and stay updated regularly.
You will find a big change in your current affairs preparation within one month.

How to make Excel data from Infinite list show in multiple columns instead in one cell?Asked by bkbarnes on July 18, 2016 at 04:32 PM
I am using the Infinite List widget in a form called Sukkot 2016. When I download the excel report, all of the fields in the infinite list widget are in one field on the report.
Here are the options for my form:
First name, last name, Gender, Age, Volunteer area(s).
I need for each of these to be in their own excel column, for each member that get's added. Is there a way this can be done?
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, it is just a limitation of the Excel. But there is a workaround for this.
1. You can open your Excel file and select the cell where your infinite list data is.
2. Click Data and then Text to Columns.
3. Make sure to select Delimited on next screen:
4. And for Delimiter choose Comma:
That should split your data into four columns.
If you need further assistance please let us know, also you can check this article for more information.
Thank you!
I'm having a similar issue with the Infinite List widget. If we, for example, have 3 columns, Name, Phone, Email and the user enters 20 lines of data, it's pretty obvious that a report, whether it be Excel, CSV or whatever, should be formatted in such a manner that the names are in one column, the Phone numbers in another and the Email in a third.
Similarly, the native JotForm Input Table has the same shortcoming.
I feel like we've somehow missed the point in how data should be formatted in a usable manner.
I should note that the E-mail message comes through looking just perfect. Rows and columns of data, laid out as we'd expect, with a column of names, a column of addresses, etc.
Is there another tool that works as I've described?
As I'm thinking about this, what I'm describing would break with the "One Form / One Record" model. Each form submitted would need to be appended to the previous results.
As a temporary work-around, I've built a Excel worksheet that can transform the JotForm generated Excel report and move the columns around as needed, but it's clumsy and not terribly elegant.
Any thoughts?
JotForm Support
I opened a separate thread for you and we will attend it here: https://www.jotform.com/answers/1127555 shortly.
Thank you!

UFC Fight Night Halifax DraftKings Lineup
- Updated: February 19, 2017
Listen up fight freaks, UFC Fight Night Halifax represents a unique opportunity to create a DraftKings lineup that is packed with fighters keen on finishing. Triple digit scores are the name of the game and these 11 scheduled fights offer a wide variety of lineup opportunities.
I am always looking to put together a lineup that maximizes finish potential while trying not to leave much of the designated budget remaining. I was able to do so for this fight card and want to share it with The Runner Sports faithful. Let's jump right into the lineup, keep in mind I enter multiple lineups for each fight card and I encourage you the reader to come with your own unique combinations while taking into account my own picks.
DraftKings Lineup:
1. Sara McMann $9,300
McMann has her eyes set on the 135lb title and Mazany just doesn't pose much of a threat to McMann anywhere in the octagon. McMann's Olympic level wrestling in conjunction with her ability to smother her opponent and take their back for the finish is likely how this fight will play out. A submission or ground and pound finish should come in round two of this fight. Strong possibility for a finish favors Sara McMann. Vegas has McMann favored at -500 and for good reason.
2. Santiago Ponzinibbio $9,200
Santiago "Gente Boa" has put up three triple-digit DraftKings scores in his last six fights. Ponzi is also on a three-fight win streak and has twice as much fight experience than his opponent Nordine Taleb. Ponzinibbio throws the cleaner more powerful strikes of the two. Taleb has takedown ability but closing the distance on Ponzi will prove difficult and he is likely to get caught by a power shot trying to close the distance. This fight favors Santiago on the feet en route to an early TKO finish. Vegas has Ponzinibbio as a -380 favorite.
3. Aiemann Zahabi $8,800
Zahabi is a Tristar standout and brother of world famous head coach Faras Zahabi. The future looks bright for this young prospect, 6-0 with all first round finishes point to a productive UFC career if he can get past Reginaldo Vieira. Viera is an MMA veteran with a good submission game and little to no power in his hands. Zahabi has shown the cage IQ and patience of a veteran, probably due to the fact that his brother is one of the best coaches in the world. Look for Aiemann to control this fight from start to finish. Equally impressive on the feet and the ground, I see this as Zahabi's coming out party. In Canada on Sunday the odds for a finish from Zahabi are strong. Vegas has Zahabi as -220 favorite.
4. Sam Sicilia $7,800
Sicilia has made his living in the UFC as a gateway for young up and coming fighters. This looks to be no different as he goes against Canadian native Gavin Tucker. Tucker is another undefeated prospect making his UFC debut. Octagon jitters can be a real thing, especially for a fighter making his debut in his home country. The advantage for Sicilia comes on the feet if Gavin elects to stand and bang with Sam. Although Sicilia is just 2-2 in his last four fights, I think he can pull off the upset against Tucker. A decision win for the veteran looks to be in the cards for Sunday. Vegas has Sicilia as a +135 underdog.
5. Johny Hendricks $7,700
"Bigg Rigg" Hendricks has lived up to his nickname recently, weight cut struggles and age seem to have caught up to the former champion. Hendricks and Lombard will both be moving up to 185 to fight at a weight that makes sense for both fighters at this stage in their careers. If this fight can get into the later rounds I believe Hendricks has the ability to grind out a decision win against Lombard. Hector Lombard has a notoriously bad gas tank probably due to the fact that he carries so much muscle on his frame. Always a threat for a first round knockout Lombard's gas tank usually drops off drastically in rounds two and three. I believe Hendricks has the experience to stay away from Lombard's power early and can take control of the fight as they move into the later rounds. Vegas has Hendricks as a +130 underdog.
6. Ryan Janes $7,200
Okay so to round this lineup out I had to do a little bottom of the barrel scraping. At the bottom I found Canadian Ryan Janes. 1-0 in the UFC and 9-1 in his MMA career, Janes is a submission specialist that has shown the ability to navigate his way through a fight on his feet if needed. Gerald Meerschaert has more experience and is the better fighter but I think the hometown fighter can pull off an upset if he can get this fight to the ground. I am not confident Janes will taste victory but I do think he can last all three rounds and rack up some points to help bolster a lineup ripe with finishers on it. Vegas has Janes as a +250 underdog.
I was able to use all of the $50,000 budget with this lineup, but a winning lineup is not necessarily one that utilizes the full $50k budget. This Fight card has 11 fights, not the usual 12 or 13 that round out a UFC event, which means DraftKings players have a slightly better chance of finding that winning lineup. Good luck fight freaks and be sure to post your comments and lineup ideas below.

Hope all of you had great weekends! Mine was filled with family time, more Diwali celebrations, and a date night. There is something especially fun about eating at a celebrity chef's spot, and that was part of the reason I was so excited to try Colicchio & Sons. I was hoping to get a glimpse of Tom Colicchio himself, but we weren't so lucky. The space is grand and lofty, but the tables are close together and add to the neighborhood feel. When we walked in, we were greeted by exquisitely tall stems in thick glass vases, and a smell of wood smoke in the air. Perfect on a cool New York night. The food felt like a blend of Italian dishes with French flair, and even hints of Indian spices shone through.
The staff was friendly and quickly accommodating to my vegetarian needs, and while there were not too many veggie options on the menu (this was formerly a steakhouse, after all), I was very satisfied with the options. I started with the Wild Mushroom Salad which was served with the most savory shaved parmesan cheese I've ever had. For my entree, I tried the seasonal Squash Ravioli that was recommended by our waiter, and it melted in my mouth. The restaurant offers an extensive beer list (hubby was thrilled), but I chose a Cahors from Southwest France which was ideal with my meal. It was a great romantic spot, but would also be fun with a big group. Next time I would definitely try the Pea Cake and the Mushroom Risotto.
Definitely worth a trip to the meatpacking district, even if means dishing out a few extra bucks.

Lifeline Every semester, $0.44 of your student fees go to support the Student Refugee Program. Run by World University Service Canada nationally since 1978, the program brings in students from refugee camps somewhere in the world to study here at the University of Alberta, as well as other universities across the country. Your money goes to pay for residence and meal costs, helping to bring one student a year to the University of Alberta.
The Gateway
volume ci number 41
But who exactly does this money help? Here are the stories of two student refugees whose lives have been changed by the program you help fund.
Mohamed Salat (somalia)
Wubshet Kassa (ethiopia)
written by Ali Churchill
ike so many students who come to Edmonton from warmer climates, Mohamed Salat was warned of the city's harsh winters. But initially, Edmonton's famously cruel winters were a disappointment. "When it first started to snow, there was not that kind of big snow, they were only small things. I thought [it] had started, I thought that the temperatures were way down. So I had to wear my very big jacket that had to be worn for -30°C or something like that and then when I went to class, it was very hot. I was so uncomfortable." Salat laughs at the memory, now wiser to Edmonton's climate. Dressed in a thick black coat and jeans, he looks like any other student on campus. He takes the bus to class with a backpack stuffed with books and a ringing cellphone in his pocket. But Salat's journey to the University of Alberta is anything but typical. He's one of more than 60 refugees brought over each year by World University Service Canada (WUSC) to study at a Canadian university. Salat was born in Kismayu, Somalia around 1985. He's unsure of his exact date of birth, and because of this he had to fill out extra paperwork to get into the WUSC program. In 1991, his life was disrupted by the fall of Somalian dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. With the collapse of Barre's 20-year rule, various tribal factions began vying for control of the government. The fighting spread from the Somalian capital of Mogadishu to Salat's childhood home. "There was a fight over my town, where I was born. Where we were living was attacked by armed men, militia. They targeted my family. They took the animals and then my father escaped because they would have killed him." Left with three young children and under constant threat from the militia, the rest of the family were forced to flee. They wandered without food or water, under constant threat of attack from militia, before finding other refugees. Salat and his family made it to the SomaliaKenya border in 1992 after running from armed militia for three months. He says he has no clear memories of those months, but his mother has told them of the hardships. "Without food or water, some people were even feeding on the trees. There was nothing to eat."
The conditions were so harsh that Salat's younger sister died. "She just got sick. We never know what she was suffering from — she got sick for some days and later on, she just passed away." The Kenyan government sent Salat's family to Dabaad, where the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) had set up three refugee camps. They were settled into the Hagadera camp where they were given a tent to live in and a small food stipend that was distributed every 15 days. As the fighting in Somalia intensified, more and more refugees poured in and the food supplies shrank. "People started suffering from malnutrition, diseases related to malnutrition like tuberculosis and these kind of diseases," Salat explains. But the fighting between the tribes had not been left behind in Somalia, and this again put Salat and his family in the middle of a hostile situation. "After more people came to the camp, there was tribal tension between the people. Some people got guns — I don't know from where — and they started killing each other. Women were raped when they would go out and look for firewood, […] Even inside the camp, there were attacks by unknown people. They raped women, they killed men." In 1995, the United Nations, along with the Kenyan government, introduced schools to the Dabaad camps and slowly, the atmosphere began to change. Tribal tensions began to ease, according to Salat, and interactions between various groups began to spring up. Even inter-tribal marriages in the camps started to take place. Life in the camps improved with the opening of the schools, but it was still far from an ideal situation and Salat often went to school hungry. With his mother's encouragement and his own motivation, Salat studied hard and graduated with high marks, enough to qualify him for a scholarship through WUSC. But this still resulted in an intense selection process. After a round of interviews and an exhilarating trip to Nairobi, Kenya's capital — which was Salat's first time outside the camp since his arrival — he got the news of his placement at the U of A in May 2009. "I had to talk to a friend who lived in Nairobi, to just google what the University of Alberta looked like."
written by Scott Fenwick His family had grown to include 11 children since their arrival in Hagadera after his father found them at the camp. Despite Salat's excitement about coming to Canada to study, he describes leaving his family and friends behind as difficult. "My mother was crying. But actually, deep inside her heart, she knew that I would be leaving and doing something very constructive." Salat arrived in Canada on August 22, 2010, after sharing a stressful flight with a friend, another sponsored student who was headed to Grant MacEwan University. "At the airport, I was received by the local committees of WUSC [from the] U of A. I started being happy at that time because on the airplane, I was getting relief from the stress and terror of the journey. I was feeling lonely, missing my parents and young siblings, but then I had some kind of company, moral support from the WUSC club." The WUSC group helped Salat settle into his room in HUB Mall, showing him around campus and the city, as well as helping him get used to his new lifestyle both socially and academically. He had difficulty in his first few weeks on campus as he adjusted to the new course loads. Even the accents of his new professors proved somewhat difficult for him to overcome. But through hard work and the motivation of his family back home, Salat was able to push through the first few difficult months in Canada, and is now enrolled in his second year of the Mathematics and Economics program in the Faculty of Science. Salat hasn't seen his family in two years, and won't be able to see them for another three due to restrictions on his permanent residency requirements. But the camps are never far from Salat's thoughts and he, along with other refugee students at Canadian universities, started Somali Students for Refugee Students. They've been able to send money back to their families, sometimes enough to help other students buy textbooks and even employ teachers at the camps. "Education can improve the living standard of someone. It can elevate someone. I was just a child who could not even afford to buy food […] But I came from that small, prison-like camp to this, one of the most prosperous countries in the world," says Salat. "It can make someone realize their dreams."
"There was a fight over my town, where I was born. Where we were living was attacked by armed men, militia. They targeted my family. They took the animals and then my father escaped because they would have killed him." - Mohamed Salat
"I feel I am judged based on what I do [in Canada], which is what I didn't have when I left home. That's the kind of thing I left behind, and there's nothing I would trade." - Wubshet Kassa
When Wubshet Kassa looks back at his time at the University of Alberta, he still remembers his first impressions of Edmonton, a city where the streets appeared empty, with not a soul in sight. Kassa, who grew up in the south of Ethiopia, knew to expect snow when coming to Edmonton, but not much else. But after a WUSC volunteer picked Kassa up from the airport, one of the first things he noticed was that nobody was walking outside. "The first question I asked her was, 'Where's everybody?' " he says. "In Ethiopia, people are walking outside, but I didn't know that most people drive instead of walk here. So that's what she told me — everybody's inside. That was my first impression. I was struck to see nobody walking around, and not seeing just a soul on the street was striking for me." The snow followed shortly. He arrived in August 1992, two weeks before school started that year. Two days after Kassa touched down in Edmonton, the city experienced its first August snowfall in decades. But although he experienced a cold welcome to Canada, Kassa was at least safe from the political instability he experienced in Ethiopia — just days before, he had been living in a refugee camp for more than a year. Shortly after a rebel movement overthrew the local government in 1991, he fled Ethiopia out of fear of his own safety. Leaving his family behind in Ethiopia, Kassa travelled south to the neighboring country of Kenya with two friends. He would spend the next 15 months with 10,000 other refugees in a former military camp designed to fit 2,000 people. He says that living in the camp, located just outside of Nairobi, was one of the most difficult times of his life. He describes his 15 months in the camp as idle time. "I don't even remember doing anything valuable, because there wasn't anything valuable," he says. "In general, the desperation was very, very hard. And if you have no hope of either going back or going somewhere — for most people, it was pretty tough. I was okay because I had considered all these options before I left Ethiopia. But it was tough. It was one of the toughest places I've ever been." Coming to Canada was difficult, too. In Kenya, he knew that if he wanted to go back home, it was a two-day car ride away. Getting home from
Canada was nearly impossible, given the distance and cost. "The toughest part was adjusting with the whole situation here in Canada," he says. "Coming to Canada, learning the food, learning the culture, making friends, and just not going anywhere during holidays when the rest of the students were going home [...] was pretty tough." Kassa made friends with a handful of international students, including others who were at the U of A because of WUSC. However, he says that he typically didn't mesh well with others in his Environmental and Conservation Sciences program, citing his timid tendencies. He also had trouble understanding the accent of one of his professors, who was from the southern United States. He remembers being the only person in the room not laughing when the professor made jokes. Although he was 28 years old when he started studying at the U of A, the only time Kassa felt conscious of his age was when doing group projects. He typically gravitated toward older students because he felt that they understood where he was coming from, given his inexperience with Canadian customs. Kassa came to the U of A with his first year fully funded. Tuition was taken care of and he had a few hundred dollars of spending money every month for rent in HUB Mall and food. He also remembers that some WUSC volunteers would go out of their way to make him feel welcome, such as inviting him to their homes for dinner or giving them presents during Christmas. "I was pretty lucky, I would say, to be able to get that opportunity because I didn't have any other way to come here without that opportunity. I'm very indebted to WUSC. Everything I have become is because of that. I'm very glad I had that opportunity." Thinking about his experience as a student at the U of A, Kassa says that although he was still uncertain about his future upon graduation in 1996, the experience he received because of WUSC helped him greatly. Today, he works as an environmental conservation officer for Environment Canada in Vancouver. This August will mark 19 years since he arrived in Canada. "In general, I can't tell you [that there] is one thing I really did well at the end of my schooling at the U of A, but there were so many little things
that were the start of a good foundation, I would say," he says. When Kassa first came to Canada, he didn't know what to expect, and there were many different ways he needed to adjust. He initially planned to go back home after finishing his degree, but decided to stay in the country after his four years at the U of A, having gained a large
appreciation for Canada. "I feel I am judged based on what I do, which is what I didn't have when I left home. That's the kind of thing I left behind, and there's nothing I would trade. My coming here was a good decision. In general, I have a greater appreciation of Canada and Canadians, and I'm glad to be here."

PRESS RELEASE Monday Sept 12th, 2016

Prisoner Strikes and Supporter Protests Sweep the Nation
ATMORE, AL – Over the weekend more than 50 protests erupted across the country and around the world in solidarity with the September 9th nation-wide prisoner work stoppage and protest. Mothers and Families, the outside support organization for the Free Alabama Movement (FAM) rallied with drums and noisemakers outside of Holman Prison while workers kicked off their strike inside. "Officers are performing all tasks" a prisoner texted outside supporters indicating the prisoner work stoppage was successful.
Although the full extent of facilities participating in the strike will not be known for another two weeks, we have received early reports of work stoppage and resistance from Holmes, Gulf and Mayo units in FL, Fluvanna prison in Troy VA, and unnamed units in North Carolina and South Carolina. Central California Women's Facility, Oregon State Penitentiary and St Cloud Correctional Facility in Minnesota were on lockdown in response to organizing on Friday. Hundreds of prisoners started fires, attacked surveillance cameras and damaged the facilities at Kinross Correctional in Northern Michigan and Holmes Correctional in Florida. No one was seriously injured and prisoners are refusing to work.
There are confirmed hunger strikes underway in Wisconsin, Ohio, California and Guantanamo Bay. At Merced County Jail in Central California family of inmates have reported that the hunger strikers were threatened with shotguns and dogs. In Ohio there are at least two prisons, Lucasville and Ohio State Penitentiary, where prisoners went on hunger strike beginning September 9th. Prisoners at both Ohio prisons have reported being threatened with being stripped of their contact visits in retaliation for going on strike. We stand in solidarity with prominent US Army whistle blower Chelsea Manning, who initiated a hunger strike on September 9th to protest lack of adequate medical care for trans prisoners.
In Greece and across the US, protests occurred outside of jail, prison and immigrant detention centers. Three large banners were held up facing the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville Ohio, the site of a massive and deadly prisoner uprising in 1993. The Campaign to Fight Toxic Prisons rallied outside Buckeye State Prison in Arizona, one of many prisons where pollution and contaminated water harm prisoners.
US Embassy protests occurred in England, Australia, Sweden and Germany. From Oregon to Florida and in between, companies profiting off prison were targeted by outside protesters, including Bank of America, McDonalds, Aramark, AT&T and Starbucks. In Lansing Michigan protesters blocked a downtown intersection for hours with a large UHaul truck. In New York City and Durham North Carolina they blocked freeways. In Portland OR protesters disrupted an AT&T and McDonalds, both corporations which use prison labor, as well as held a noise demonstration outside a local jail, then they shut down traffic. There were arrests in: Oakland, CA; Milwaukee Wisconsin; Nashville, Tennessee; and Atlanta, Georgia. Most were quickly released, but at least three protesters in GA are facing multiple felonies.

Fifty-three years ago today, — one day after the start of the
Children's Crusade marches, — black youth were in the streets in Birmingham to march on City Hall and protest Jim Crow in one of the best-known protest marches in American history. They stood up against Mayor Art Haynes and
Public Safety Commissioner Eugene Connor and his police and his fire department and the whole violent system of Jim Crow. They filled the jails and they kept marching. Desperate, Bull Connor ordered police and firemen to turn police dogs and water cannons on the kids in the street.
In the end, the kids in the street won, and the white power establishment, the segregationist politicians and the Public Safety Commissioners and the police lost.

"Are Mose and Minerva Less Distinctive than Lakisha and Jamal? The Use and Abuse of Distinctively Black Names in Slavery and in Freedom"
Charles W. Johnson
Auburn University
Black and white Americans have different names. Names like "Keisha" or "Darnell" are widely and instantly perceived as 'black,' and names like "Brad," "Meredith" and "Todd" as 'white.' The perception reflects a statistical reality: white and black Americans' naming choices do systematically differ. Racialized naming differences can carry social and economic baggage for people with names that are perceived as distinctively black, including discrimination in education and during job searches. Economists such as Fryer and Levitt (2004) or Bertrand and Mullainathan (2004) devote several recent studies to possible causes and consequences of distinctively black naming patterns in the post-Civil Rights era. Yet distinctively black names, and social stigma against them, are not recent developments. In 1870 there were eight men named "Pompey," or "Pomp" for short, living in Macon County, Alabama. All were black farm-hands, born under the Black Belt's system of plantation slavery. Local whites included "Leonidas" and "Alexander," but none were named after Caesar's rival. "Pompey" was no outlier: in 1870 the Pompeys of Macon County lived alongside Livy Pinckard, Cato Brown, Romulus Dowdell and Remus Rainey – all exclusively black names, never seen among Macon County whites. Generally, the particular names marked as black or white have changed throughout American history, as the period of slavery receded and names like Mose or Minerva were replaced by Lakisha and Jamal. But divergent black and white naming systems are a long-standing, continuous phenomenon of America's biracial culture, with their earliest roots in conflicts and negotiations between white slaveholders and black slaves over control of naming under slavery.
In this paper I offer a new analysis of quantitative data on naming patterns, based on the 1870 Census for Alabama Black Belt counties. Previous studies of slave naming practices have focused either on single plantations or on distinctive regions such as the South Carolina coast or Caribbean, with comparatively little attention to the Black Belt. Analysis of the Alabama data, using techniques from recent studies on contemporary naming practices, reveals distinctively black naming patterns in the Black Belt and a large pool of distinctively or uniquely African-American names dating back to the period of slavery. Contrary to Herbert Gutman's suggestion that lexically distinctive black names (e.g. from classical or traditional African sources) were rare or marginal by the late antebellum period, I find that the data from the Black Belt counties demonstrate the persistence of significant, ongoing distinctively or uniquely black naming pools throughout the last decades of slavery and the first decade of emancipation.
Black Belt naming practices reveal elements both of planters' impositions and slaves' adaptation and resistance. Moreover, discrimination today against distinctively black names parallel the repetitive rhetorical use and abuse of 'black' names in antebellum writing as tropes standing for derisive or stereotyped images of blackness; but their use by freed black Alabamians also reveal the powerful personal and cultural meanings that they conveyed. Distinctively black names under slavery are like scars: visible signs of deep wounds, but also of the body's effort to adapt and to heal.
Alabama's Solution to Prison Riots: Build More Prisons
Alabama hopes to solve its prison crisis by building new prisons. Critics warn that more riots are likely.
In addition to its lawsuit, the SPLC issued a damning report exposing widespread neglect and denial of medical care. In particular, the SPLC found that to cut costs inmates were regularly denied medical treatment, which in several cases resulted in death. The report described requests for medical help that were ignored, derided, or met with beatings or segregation. It found that inmates were unwillingly or unknowingly signed up for "do not resuscitate" orders, that poor diabetes care led to frequent amputations, and contagious diseases like hepatitis C spread untreated. The SPLC also found that surgeries were denied for sometimes as long as a decade, broken bones were often ignored for weeks, and prisoners suffering from burns and strokes were at times denied care for days.
The inmate interviewed by The Intercept said that in one instance, a fellow prisoner repeatedly tried to gain admission to the infirmary but was turned away. When he finally saw a doctor, he was diagnosed with cancer, had five tumors removed, and died weeks later. "I felt like they killed him," the inmate said. "We really have no value."
Glasgow and others in close contact with prisoners told The Intercept that more protests across Alabama prisons are imminent, and they listed a long catalogue of abuses compounding prisoners' anger over their living conditions, including rat infestations, inedible food they dubbed "road kill," and guards forcing inmates to fight each other in laundry rooms while betting on the outcome.
"When we look at how our prisons run, it's really not a criminal justice system. It's a criminal enterprise. A legal, criminal, enterprise," the Holman inmate said. "If you make a felon out of a man, you take away his rights as a human being."
Alabama's new prison plan, if enacted, will add approximately 3,000 beds to the system, reducing overcrowding to 125 percent. In order to pay for it, the state will authorize an $800 million bond, which will be serviced by up to $50 million a year redirected from what the state already spends to maintain its decrepit prisons. "We were already solving this problem long before this took place," Alabama's governor, Robert Bentley, said in a press conference following the riots. He called the proposal "transformational thinking."
Prisoner advocates were less impressed. "That would just move the problem," said Watson. "In Alabama, we have a history: If we build them, then we overfill them." Morrison, of EJI, said the state consulted several experts about its prison problems, and none had recommended building new prisons as a solution. "A multi-year prison construction does not address the immediate crisis they have," she said.
Prisoners and their advocates say the only way to make incarceration humane — and legal — is to drastically cut the population of prisons, not build new prisons.

Opposing the Civil Rights Act Means Opposing Civil Rights? It Just Ain't So!
Charles Johnson, September 2010 • Volume: 60 • Issue: 7
Just after winning his Republican primary in May, Rand Paul got himself into a political pickle over his views on property rights and the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Having reluctantly discussed concerns about antidiscrimination laws with the Louisville Courier-Journal and NPR, Paul made his now-notorious appearance on the Rachel Maddow Show, where Maddow grilled him for 15 minutes on whether he opposed government intervention to stop racial discrimination. After saying he favored overturning government-mandated discrimination, Paul finally admitted that he opposes Title II, which forbids private owners from discriminating in their own businesses.
As he told the Courier-Journal:I don't like the idea of telling private business owners—I abhor racism; I think it's a bad business decision to ever exclude anybody from your restaurant; but at the same time, I do believe in private ownership. . . .
Maddow responded:I think wanting to allow private businesses to discriminate on the basis of race, because of property rights, is an extreme view.Within a day Progressives were touting the interview as proof of a deep conflict between libertarian defenses of private property and struggles for racial equality. Meanwhile, compromising libertarians like Brink Lindsey reacted by discovering exceptions to libertarian principles—to make room, again, for federal antidiscrimination laws. The entire debate has played out as an argument over libertarianism andextremism,with Progressives and many nominal libertarians both condemning Rand Paul's simplisticextremismabout private property and libertarian rights.
I have little interest in defending Paul but it's strange to treat him like some case study in the dangers of libertarian extremism. Rand Paul is a conservative, not a libertarian—let alone anextremeone. He's said as much, in so many words, in repeated interviews. Now, you could simply say,He may be no libertarian, but never mind Rand Paul—what about the issue?Libertarianism opposes government control of private business decisions; taken to extremes, doesn't that include laws against racist business practices—the civil rights movement's crowning achievement?
Well, I do have something to say on behalf ofextremism.Not on behalf of sacrificing the civil rights movement's achievements toextremestands on antistatist principle. Rather,extremestands on antistatist principle show what the civil rights movement did right, and what it really achieved, without the aid of federal laws.
[I]f libertarianism has anything to teach about politics, it's that politics goes beyond politicians; social problems demand social solutions. Discriminatory businesses should be free from legal retaliation—not insulated from the social and economic consequences of their bigotry. What consequences? Whatever consequences you want, so long as they're peaceful—agitation, confrontation, boycotts, strikes, nonviolent protests.
So when Maddow asks,Should Woolworth's lunch counters have been allowed to stay segregated?neither she nor Paul seemed to realize that her attempted coup de grace—invoking the sit-in movement's student martyrs, facing down beatings to desegregate lunch counters—actually offers a perfect libertarian response to her own question.
Because, actually, Woolworth's lunch counters weren't desegregated by Title II. The sit-in movement did that. From the Montgomery Bus Boycott onward, the Freedom Movement had won victories, town by town, building movements, holding racist institutions socially and economically accountable. The sit-ins proved the real-world power of the strategy: In Greensboro, N.C., nonviolent sit-in protests drove Woolworth's to abandon its whites-only policy by July 1960. The Nashville Student Movement, through three months of sit-ins and boycotts, convinced merchants to open all downtown lunch counters in May the same year. Creative protests and grassroots pressure campaigns across the South changed local cultures and dismantled private segregation without legal backing.
Should lunch counters have been allowed to stay segregated? No—but the question is how to disallow it. Bigoted businesses shouldn't face threats of legal force for their racism. They should face a force much fiercer and more meaningful—the full force of voluntary social organization and a culture of equality. What's to stop resegregation in a libertarian society? We are. Using the same social power that was dismantling Jim Crow years before legal desegregation.
I oppose civil rights acts because I support civil rights movements—because the forms of social protest they pioneered proved far more courageous, positive, and effective than the litigious quagmires and pale bureaucratic substitutes governments offer.

System frequency support using wind turbine kinetic energy and energy storage system
Xu, Guoyi and Xu, Lie and Morrow, D. John (2013) System frequency support using wind turbine kinetic energy and energy storage system. In: 2nd IET Renewable Power Generation Conference (RPG 2013). IEEE. ISBN 978-1-84919-758-8Full text not available in this repository. Request a copy from the Strathclyde author
This paper investigates the use of embedded energy storage within wind turbines to provide frequency support to connected AC systems. An energy storage device with a bidirectional dc-dc converter connected to the dc link of a fully rated converter based wind turbine is proposed. Different control methods for emulating inertial response to reduce both the rate of change of frequency and frequency nadir are proposed for variable speed turbines. The energy storage is used to smooth the transition of the wind turbines rotor from deceleration to acceleration after inertial response. Matlab/Simulink simulations based on a simple power system have demonstrated the frequency support effect of the proposed methods.
