by Agency ReportGovernor Aminu Masari of Katsina State has presented a budget of N249.5 billion for 2020 to the State House of Assembly for approval.
Presenting the budget on Wednesday in Katsina, Mr Masari said it was tagged “Budget of Reflection and Progress’’, to ensure continuation of the restoration agenda and policies of his administration.
He said N75.6 billion, representing 30.30 per cent of the budget, was for recurrent expenditure, while N173.9 billion, representing 69.70 per cent, was for capital expenditure.
Mr Masari said the budget was higher than that of 2019 by N48.7 billion.
“It is important to note that the 2020 recurrent revenue has an increase of 17.91 per cent over that of 2019.
“Similarly, the recurrent expenditure in 2020 budget has an increase of about 23.72 per cent over that of 2019.
“This indicates that in real terms, the revenue will increase by about 17.91 per cent over that of 2019,’’ he said.
He said the recurrent expenditure has components which include -personnel cost of N30.8 billion, overhead cost N20.9 billion and consolidated revenue charges of N23.8 billion.
Mr Masari commended people of the state for coming out en masse to vote for All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2019 general elections.
The Speaker, Tasiu Maigari, said the house would immediately invite various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) for budget defence.
He assured of speedy passage of the budget to enable government to continue to provide dividends of democracy to the people.
Mr Maigari applauded the existing cordial relationship between the executive and legislature in the state.

No one would have been able to live up to the contract he got. What was he supposed to do, turn down the money? We are stuck with Soriano, and fans ripping him all the time is not helping.

If he is aging then he needs to work with the trainers to get his body to where it needs to be at such an old age. It is very clear to me, and other fans, that he is very lazy on the field and when he is batting. He strikes out more than anyone I can remember and he runs after fly balls like they are going to be in the air for hours. If we are paying him so much money to be great, then he needs to put in the effort to make sure he is doing so. - id: 5423 author: ryanativyenvydotcom author_email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>author_url: http://firstorderhistorians.wordpress.com date: '2012-03-06 12:06:27 +0000' date_gmt: '2012-03-06 18:06:27 +0000' content: Actually, that isn't the funniest part of the quote to me at all. The funniest part of the quote to me is by far the first line. "I don't like to be the leader" Although at surface value there isn't much there to make you laugh, there is hidden entertainment value because just the fact that he thinks for some reason he needs to clarify that is hilarious. We've been covering this team for what...six hundred games at this point and that guy has the audacity to think that for some weird reason we just haven't noticed? In his defense based on his grammar I'm not even sure that he knows what he's talking about either. ---
If you read our blog regularly, you could probably accuse me (accurately) of perseverating. With the new changes in the organization and the clear and concise change in focus with the Cubs, the one person that stands out as potentially not fitting with that change is Alfonso Soriano.
Last wee, I posted that signs may indicate that we won't see Soriano held to the same standards as the other players when it comes to things as simple as not standing and watching a warning-track shot. Well, to start your week off on the right foot, I'd like to share this Soriano quote with you. If you've seen Soriano play one game, you'll find the humor in it.
I don’t like to be the leader. My teammates can see how I play hard and how I work. I think they can take that to the field. I don’t like to talk much. Just work hard and try to be better every day and try to win. That’s what I can take to the young guys here.” - Alfonso Soriano
Of course the part that made you chuckle is that Soriano sees himself as a hard worker, trying to improve his game on a daily basis. The sad part is that a player entering his 14th MLB season, and his sixth season with the Cubs, that will earn nearly $20 million this year, does not see himself as a leader and doesn't want the added responsibility of being a leader to the youngsters of the organization. Then again, perhaps we don't want him influencing the future of the organization.

Review (c)1998 eric lurio
Wild Things Directed by John McNaughton
Kem Nunn and Stephen Peters must have been on something when they wrote the script. for this thing.
It's campy, it's cheezy as cheetos, and half the time it careens from one plot twist to another in a paint by numbers fashion.
Oh yeah, it's almost pornographic, too.
Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon) is a guidence counsellor/sailing instructor at a high school in the ritzy Miami suburb of Blue Bay.
We begin the movie with Sam moderating a class called `senior seminar,' and today's program features police detectives Ray Duquette (Kevin Bacon) and Gloria Perez (Daphne Rubin-Vega) in a discussion of SEX CRIMES!
Can someone say `foreshadowing?
That's right folks! No sooner has the word been uttered than we find Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards), the rich high school slut, trying to get into Sam's pants.
But poor Sam doesn't (apparently) want her to, because he's already done it with Kelly's mom (Theresa Russell) and is currently working on Mom's lawyer's daughter (Jennifer Bini).
Ah! But what about Suzie (Neve Campbell)? Yes...Suzi, the everglades punker. She's hanging around too from the very beginning, getting ready to pounce.
Kelly makes her move. Sam (apparently) rebuffs her. So we get the old `Refusal of sex? Then it must be rape' ploy. Detectives Duquette and Perez are on the case! Then Suzie says SHE was raped by Sam too!
Sam's life goes in the toilet.
Fortunately, our hero (?) has hired a lawyer, and in keeping with the tone of the movie, he just has to be Bill Murray...
Murray is at his best here. Sleazy as hell and wearing a neck brace in case insurance agents drop by, it's almost a shock to see that he's actually competent.
It was all a plot.  The scene's a real hoot.
Then we get to the first unexpected plot twist.
We can tell you about the first unexpected plot twist because it's in the trailer.
Sam was in on the whole thing, and soon he and his two erstwhile accusers are making love on the screen right in front of you.
Now Detective Duquette is unhappy at being duped. He is sure that it was a plot to get Kerry's mom's money from the lawsuit that followed the confession.
They made us promise not to tell what the surprise ending is. And yes, there is one after about twelve more unexpected plot twists.
Then they try unsuccessfully to explain the surprise ending through flashbacks in the middle of the closing credits.
Nekkid high school students with large boobs!!! Now that's what we in the business call `high art!'

Shelter
We don’t have to read A Canticle for Leibowitz for long before we get to the fallout shelter.
Warning: spoilers follow. A Canticle for Leibowitz is a great book, and it would be a great pity if you were to read this little essay without reading the book first. I can’t get Octopress’s excerpt feature to work yet, so here’s the warning again:
Spoilers follow. Stop reading now.
When we get there, we discover the remnants of a civilization that managed to incinerate itself despite all of its wealth, power, and knowledge. All that remains within the crumbling concrete structure are bones and a few scraps of paper.
It would not be fair to say that Canticle is primarily about the question of where we can find safety — if anything, it is about the two-edged nature of knowledge — but places of refuge are a theme throughout the book, and their problems mirror the problems of the human condition.
The fallout shelter itself is long, long disused. When Brother Francis finds it, he marvels at its engineering and is boggled by its terminology, thinking perhaps that a fallout is a kind of salamander. And yet, for all of its technological wonder, he finds in it the bones of its occupants. As everyone who lives after the “flame deluge” knows, knowledge is not enough to spare one from destruction.
And yet, Brother Francis belongs to an order of monks dedicated to preserving the knowledge of the past. Their abbey guards sacred, original texts – the Memorabilia – protecting it both from the ravages of time and from an angry populace that has come to resent all book-learning.
Protecting it also from kings. Much as in Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, the monks come to believe that scientific knowledge will inevitably be abused by those with political power. Thus they are divided, for although they begin by sheltering this knowledge from a hurt and angry world, they must eventualy do their best from allowing a greedy, gluttonous world to devour it, and consume it for its own violent purposes.
Thus, that which shelters also imprisons. That which makes the abbey a place of safety for scholars, monks, and ancient texts also makes it an ideal military outpost.
Even the spiritual safety of the Church is questioned. Yes, there is much wisdom there, and a long, long historical perspective that scientists and politicians seem to lack. But there is also bickering and infighting, spying and political intrigue, cowardice and lying.
At one point, Miller refers to a line from G. K. Chesterton. When asked “what is wrong with the world?”, Chesterton replied, “I am”. Whether in a monastery or a university or a parliament or a hermit’s hut, we can find no true shelter, for we always bring the storm within ourselves.
The final parts of the book pit the ultimate forms of shelter against each other. On one side, a doctor contends for the merciful sleep of death, where one is surely safe from the very real suffering in this life. On the other side, a priest offers the hope of salvation. Where should one seek refuge? In Canticle, Miller raises the question, and leaves us to find our own answer.


Dana Rosaline Manyothane
Democrat
I am a program manager for Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).
I have a BA in Biology from the University of Colorado-Boulder.
80031
I have not been actively involved in past political activity or donated to any political campaigns or other political organizations.
I have been active in the Colorado Black Arts Festival for seven years. I served as Executive Director before my departure to work at the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). At SCFD, I work with several arts, culture, and science organizations. The organizations range from the Denver Zoo and Denver Museum of Nature & Science to tiny bell ringing organizations and chorales. Part of my duties at SCFD is to work with county cultural councils with appointed members to ensure state statutory requirements are being followed during organization funding allocations. I have the honor of working with non-profits, governmental agencies, and employees to ensure procedurally we are honoring the will of voters. Also, I served on the board of directors for the Colorado African Organization for two years. Last, I am involved with my children's school community as a member of their Building Advisory Accountability Committee.
I am passionate about providing opportunities for inclusion, equity, and opportunity. All organizations that I aligned with are about engaging the community in opportunities for sustainability, equity, and a sense of belonging. As a well-rounded leader, I have experience in delegating, planning, analyzing, and advocacy in my professional and volunteer experiences.
The democratic process is sacred to me. I stand on the shoulders of elders and ancestors that have come before me to be a part of a process that speaks to the freedoms we have as Americans. I am a native Coloradoan, and I want to do more for my beloved State of Colorado. I have voted, and now I want to do the work necessary to advance democracy in Colorado. The work needed to carry out Colorado residents' wishes to address Colorado adopted Amendment Y in 2018, which empowers citizens like me to be a part of the process to conduct redistricting.
I fervently believe that everyone has a voice, and every voice should be heard. I am able to listen to anyone with an opinion, even if it is the opposite of my views and beliefs. I have learned over the years through family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances that sometimes a robust discussion and consensus are necessary to get things done. I can hear and find commonality in most situations. This skillset serves me well in my role at SCFD by committing to organizations' success as they provide accessibility to the residents of the cultural district.
As a former Executive Director of a community-based non-profit, I am used to looking at complex information and distilling it down to what's necessary to have a final outcome. I am accustomed to looking at financials, spreadsheets, comparing data, to name a few of my skills. I am thoughtful and look for answers to problems.

Road-trip End
August 14, 2008
So this morning, around 12:00 we've crossed the Golden Gate building and the road-trip has come to an end. It's been two weeks and a half of joy, full of fun and where I've also learnt a lot about different things. Now it's too early so as to throw any reflection, that will come later once I get "home" (so the pictures of the trip will come); but I just wanted to say I'm safe and sound, my friend Jesus has already picked me up and I'll stay at his place today and tomorrow; on friday, I'll get on a bus and, after 15 hours through the Californian coast and inwards, I hope I gett off in Phoenix, AZ. There my new housemate will pick me up and take me to what it'll be my new "home" for 10 months in Tempe, AZ.
The new life is coming right up!!! Until then, let's enjoy San Francisco :)

The data for this project come from the College Scorecard API, developed and hosted by the US Department of Education. This rich dataset contains thousands of variables on thousands of institutions, their students, and those students' outcomes. These data are collected through the annual IPEDS reports required of all institutions receiving Title IV aid funding for students (including Pell Grants, subsidized loans, and federal work-study).
The data were accessed through an API call programmed in Python using the json, requests, csv, and time packages. Due to the limitations of the College Scorecard API and the potential size of calls, two measures were implemented: the request was limited to one year (2013) and one state (California, with the largest community college system in the country) and the call was slowed with the sleep command. The data pulled were stored in a CSV file for analysis.
Results were produced using the statsmodels.api module for Python. As discussed more in depth in the Methodology and Results sections, an ordinary least squares regression was run on a number of independent variables to determine their effect on graduation rates.

Is someone able to send me a private message regarding first order logic in LEAN? I am working a homework that requires it and it is difficult, for LEAN is very new to me.
If you have specific questions you should feel free to ask them (publicly) in this thread. Have you seen the relevant chapters of Logic & Proof?
I have seen them, and that is the book that I use for reference. However, I am yet to be able to figure out the issue.
Here is the code I have:
I am needing to prove the statement following example:
section
variable U : Type
variables A B : U → Prop
example : (∀ x, A x ∧ B x) → ∀ x, A x := assume (x : U), assume h1 :∀ x, A x ∧ B x, assume h2 : ∀ x, A x, assume y, have hy : A y, from h2 y, show ∀ y, A y, from h2 y (hy) end
Here is the error I am getting:
However, A y is a function, so I dont understand this error.
function expected at
h2 y
term has type
A y
A y
is not a function, it's a Prop
.
A
is a function.
So, what would need to follow the 'from'
I would reconsider the strategy for proving this. In particular, your assume
statements are out-of-order / some of them are unnecessary.
As a hint, assume h1:∀ x, A x ∧ B x
should come first, and then assume x:U
. You can see this by breaking down what you're trying to prove from left to right. Remember that you can use an underscore _
and lean will tell you the type of what you're still missing.
After doing so, I am given more errors than before.
add more underscores, the compiler will tell you what you're doing wrong
Maybe this will help. Let me go through the last example from section 9.2 of Logic & Proof which is very similar.
Let's start by just putting an underscore in for the entire proof:
variable U : Type variables A B : U → Prop example : (∀ x, A x) → (∀ x, B x) → (∀ x, A x ∧ B x) := _ /- don't know how to synthesize placeholder context: U : Type, A B : U → Prop ⊢ (∀ (x : U), A x) → (∀ (x : U), B x) → ∀ (x : U), A x ∧ B x -/
No surprise here, lean just restates the goal for us. We see from the arrows in the goal that it is a function. To construct a function we should begin by assuming things:
example : (∀ x, A x) → (∀ x, B x) → (∀ x, A x ∧ B x) := example : (∀ x, A x) → (∀ x, B x) → (∀ x, A x ∧ B x) := assume hA, _ /- don't know how to synthesize placeholder context: U : Type, A B : U → Prop, hA : ∀ (x : U), A x ⊢ (∀ (x : U), B x) → ∀ (x : U), A x ∧ B x -/
There's still an error, but we see that it's telling us that we're making progress. Indeed, lean actually has inferred the right type for hA
, which we can put back in if we want to be fully explicit. The goal is still a function so we continue assuming:
example : (∀ x, A x) → (∀ x, B x) → (∀ x, A x ∧ B x) := assume hA : (∀ x, A x), assume hB, _ /- don't know how to synthesize placeholder context: U : Type, A B : U → Prop, hA : ∀ (x : U), A x, hB : ∀ (x : U), B x ⊢ ∀ (x : U), A x ∧ B x -/
So that's what hB
is. We still have a function (the goal depends on a bound variable) so let's try assuming one more time:
example : (∀ x, A x) → (∀ x, B x) → (∀ x, A x ∧ B x) := assume hA: (∀ x, A x) , assume hB: (∀ x, B x), assume y, _ /- don't know how to synthesize placeholder context: U : Type, A B : U → Prop, hA : ∀ (x : U), A x, hB : ∀ (x : U), B x, y : U ⊢ A y ∧ B y -/
Now we're in a place where we have a term that we can construct by applying hA and hB. The final answer:
example : (∀ x, A x) → (∀ x, B x) → (∀ x, A x ∧ B x) := assume hA, assume hB, assume y, ⟨hA y, hB y⟩
Which is equivalent to the proof given in the book.
To summarize, if you look carefully at the type errors you get, they may help guide you to the proof you're looking for.

What I want to see at WWDC2020
WWDC is Apple’s “World Wide Developer Conference.” It’s where developers come to learn about what will be new in Apple’s operating systems (iOS, iPad OS, MacOS, ETC.), and learn how to make the best of Apple’s walled garden of tools to program apps. Tech reporters also come to the event, to gather all the news and distill it into the expected bite-sized, simple pieces. Be assured, my readers, that I will not hold anything back from you in my analysis of the event.
WWDC is not here just yet. I know, many news sites are predicting and yammering and getting all giddy with “what if” excitement. I won’t bore you with such useless speculation just to fill the headlines and homepages. I fear that I lack the imagination and incentive to create such pieces. Besides, I’m more interested in what a device can do, and less about how it looks or feels.
However, I am Invested in Apple’s operating systems. I do want to see Apple succeed in accessibility and think that, if they put enough work into it, and gave the accessibility team more freedom and staff, that accessibility would greatly improve. It is in that spirit that I give you my hopes, not predictions, for WWDC 2020. This “wishlist” will be separated into headings based on the operating system, and further divided into subsections of that operating system. After WWDC, I will revisit this post, and updated it with notes on WWDC if things change on the wishlist, and then do a post containing more notes and findings from the event.
MacOS
MacOS is Apple’s general computer (desktop/laptop) operating system. With much tried and true frameworks and programs, it is a reliable system for most people. It even has functions that Windows doesn’t, like the ability to select text anywhere and have that text spoken immediately, not screen reader needed, and remap keyboard modifier keys, and system wide spell checking. These help me greatly in all of my work.
Its screen reader is VoiceOver. It’s like VoiceOver on the iPhone, but made for a complex operating system, and has some complex keyboard commands. Accessibility, like anywhere else, is not perfect on the Mac. There are bugs that have stood for a long time, and new bugs that I fear will hang around. There are also features that I’d love to see added, to make the Mac even better.
In short, MacOS accessibility isn’t a toy. I want the Mac to be treated like it’s worth something . From the many bugs, to missing features, the Mac really needs some love accessibility-wise. Many tech “reporters” say that the Mac is a grown and stable operating system. For blind people, though, the Mac is shriveled and stale.
Catalyst needs an accessibility boost
“Catalyst” is Apple’s bridge between iPad apps and Mac apps. It allows developers, Apple included, to bring iPad apps to the Mac. Started in MacOS Mojave with Apple’s own apps, Catalyst accessibility was… serviceable. It wasn’t great, but there wasn’t anything we couldn’t do with the apps. It just wasn’t the best experience. The apps were very flat, and one needed to use the VoiceOver custom actions menu, without the ability to use letter navigation, to select actions like one would using the “actions” rotor on the iPad.
Now, in Catalina, the Catalyst technology is available for third-party developers, but accessibility issues still remain. The apps don’t feel like Mac apps at all, not even Apple’s own apps. So, in MacOS 10.16, I hope to see at least Apple’s own apps be much more accessible, especially if the Messages app will be an iPad catalyst app.
VoiceOver needs a queue
Screen readers convey information through speech, usually. This isn’t new for people who are blind, but what may be new is that they manage what is spoken using a queue. This means that when you’re playing a game and new text appears, the screen reader doesn’t interrupt itself from speaking the important description of the environment just to speak that an unimportant NPC just came into the area.
VoiceOver, sadly, does not have this feature, or if it does, it hardly ever uses it. Now, it looks like the speech synthesis architecture has a queue built in, so VoiceOver should be using this to great effect. But it isn’t. This means that doing anything complex in the Terminal app is unproductive. Even using web apps, which have VoiceOver speak events, can be frustrating when VoiceOver interrupts itself to say "loading new tweets" and such. It was so bad that the VoiceOver team had to give the option for a sound to play instead of the "one row added" notification for the mail app.
This is a large oversight, and it has gone on long enough. So, in MacOS 10.16, I desperately hope that VoiceOver can finally manage speech like a true screen reader, with a speech queue.
Insertion point at… null
Long time Apple fans may know what the insertion point is. For Windows, Android, and Linux users, it is the cursor, or Point. It is where you insert text. On Mac and iOS, VoiceOver calls this the insertion point, and it appears in text fields. The only problem is, VoiceOver says it appears on read‐only places, like websites in earlier versions of MacOS 10.15, and emails to this day.
VoiceOver believes that there is an insertion point in the email somewhere, but says that it is at “null”, meaning that it is at 0, or doesn’t exist. That’s because there isn’t one. This only appears when you are reading by element, VO + Right or Left arrow, and not when you are reading by line with just the up and down arrows, where there is a sort of cursor to keep track of where you are. But this cursor is, most likely, a VoiceOver construct, so it should know that when moving by element, there practically isn’t one besides VoiceOver’s own “cursor” that is focusing on things.
This bug is embarrassing. I wouldn’t want my supervisor seeing this kind of bug in the technology that I use to do professional work. I stress again that the Mac is not a toy. Yes, it has “novelty” voices, and yes, some blind people talk like them for fun, or use them in daily work to be silly. I don’t, though, because the Mac is my work machine. What’s a computer, Apple asks? A Mac, that’s what! I rely on this computer for my job, and if things don’t improve, I’ll probably move to Linux, which is the next best option for my workflow. Of course, things there don’t improve much either, but at least the screen reader is actually used by its creator and testers, so silly bugs like that don’t appear in a pro device. So, in MacOS 10.16, I hope that the accessibility team took a long vacation from adding stuff and spent a lot of time on fixing MacOS’ VoiceOver so that I can be proud to own a Mac again.
I need more fingers
The Mac has so many keyboard commands, and letter navigation in all menus and lists make navigating the Mac a breeze. But some of the keyboard commands were clearly made for a desktop machine. I have a MacBook Pro, late 2019 with four Thunderbolt ports, but still the same Function, Control (remapped to escape), Option, Command, Space, Command, Option, Capslock (remapped to control because Emacs), keyboard layout. In order to lock the screen, then, with the normal keyboard layout (without remapping due to the touch bar and Emacs), I’d have to lock the screen by holding the command key with my right thumb, hold control with my left pinkie, and… and… how do I reach the Q? Ah, found it! I think. That may be A, or 1, though.
My point is, we blind people pretty much always use the keyboard. sure, we can use the track pad, but that’s an option, not a requirement like the touch screen of an iPhone. Keyboard commands should be ergonomic, for every Mac model, not just the iMac. So, in Mac OS 10.16, I hope to see more ergonomic keyboard commands for MacBooks. I hope VoiceOver commands become more ergonomic as well, as pressing Control + Option + Command + 2 or even Capslock + Command + 2 gets pretty cramped. I know, the Touchbar means less keys, but my goodness I hate using those commands when I need to. And no, having us use the VoiceOver menu isn’t a fix. It’s a workaround. And no, having us use letter navigation to lock the screen or do any number of hard keyboard commands is not a fix, it’s a workaround.
Find and replace Touchbar with Function keys
I’ve talked about the Touchbar in earlier articles, so I’ll just give an overview here. The Mac does not have a Touchscreen. The Touchscreen is slower for blind people to use, and so is the Touchbar. We can’t even customize it, as that part of system preferences is seemingly inaccessible to us. One Mac user said he has answers on how to use it well, but I asked him about it, and haven’t seen a reply to my query. For now, then, the Touchbar is useless to me, and blind people who, like me, use their Macs to get work done.
Now, one place it could be good at is in Pages. While in Pages, the Touchbar acts like a row of formatting buttons. But there are keyboard commands for almost all of them, except for adding a heading. If the Touchbar were that useful everywhere else, it may have a place in my workflow. But I write all of my documents, when I can help it, in Markdown or Org-mode, inside Emacs or another text editor. So the Touchbar would be better gone from my MacBook, and replaced by the much more useful function keys, with tactile buttons that do one thing when pressed in each context, and I know what they’ll do when pressed.
So, in a new model of the MacBook, I want the option to use regular function keys, even if it costs $20 more. Either that, or give me a reason to use this useless touch strip that only acts to eliminate keys that VoiceOver can use and make keyboarding that much more limited. And no, an external keyboard is not a fix. It’s a workaround.
Text formatting with VoiceOver
This applies to both MacOS and iOS, but it’d be more useful on the Mac, so I’m putting it here. As I wrote in my Writing Richly post, formatting is important for both reading and writing. I did send Apple feedback based on this, so I hope that in 10.16, I, and all other blind people, are able to read and write with as much access to formatting as sighted people.
What’s that window say?
In MacOS Catalina, Apple added a little‐known feature to VoiceOver: the ability to get a “caption” from any element, or “control”, on the screen.
iOS
There’s nothing on the screen
There are many iOS apps that are very accessible. They work well with VoiceOver, and can be used fine by blind people. However, there are also many which appear blank to VoiceOver, so cannot easily be used. VoiceOver could use its already‐good text recognition technology to scan the entire screen if an element cannot be found with an accessible label, other than the app title. Then, it could get the location of the scanned text and items, and allow a user to feel around the screen to find them.
This could dramatically improve access to everything from games, to utility apps written in an inaccessible framework, like QT. May QT be forgotten, forever. So, in iOS 14, I hope that Apple majorly ramps up its use of AI in VoiceOver. Besides, that would put Google, the AI company, even further to shame, since they don’t use AI at all in TalkBack to recognize inaccessible items or images.
Services
Apple Arcade for everyone
Apple Arcade came out some time last year. 100 games were promised around launch time, and at $5 per month, it is an amazing deal, as you can play these games forever; there is no rotation like in XBox Game Pass. For now, though, there have been no games that blind people can play, so I just canceled my subscription, my hope in Apple dwindling further. So, in this year’s WWDC, I hope that Apple not only adds accessible games to Apple Arcade, or even makes a few of their own, but shows them off. People should know that Apple truly cares, as much as a 1.5 trillion dollar corporation can, about accessibility and people who are blind, who cannot play regular, inaccessible games.
Conclusion
I hope this article has enlivened your imagination a bit regarding the soon‐to‐be WWDC 2020. I’ve detailed what I want to see in MacOS, my most often used Apple system, iOS, and Apple’s services. Now, what do you want to see? Please, let me know by commenting wherever this article is shared.
Thanks so much for reading my articles. If you have any suggestions, corrections, or other comments, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I eagerly await your comments.


Career Profile
I have spent most of my software development career working at Start-ups which I'm thankful for because that has really shaped the way I think and solve problems also this has really benefited me as a programmer in that in a start-up environment you have to on some level learn a variety of skills and be very involed in front-end to back-end development. I have experience in the entire SDLC, UI & UX and logic. The Highlight of my career thus far is having over 100,000 downloads on my personal android app on the playstore. The app got plenty of local and international coverage landing me a number of TV, radio, web and print interviews.

TimeWize Parental Control is a simple to use mobile application that allows you to remotely control your child's usage of their Android tablet or phone from your Android Phone or iPhone. You get to set a schedule for when the phone or tablet will be locked and unlocked as well as setup individual permissions for each app that will be locked or unlocked according to the schedule. If the child needs to use the phone or tablet out of this scheduled time, they can send an unlock request from the tablet to your phone where you can allow it for a certain period or decline it. We have also included a handy little feature called "Don't Ask Again" which will let you block this request for a preset period of time.

Log backups
When you are backing up data, you must select the option Enable Log Backups to enable log file backup. Archive log backup is only possible when either LOGARCHMETH1 or LOGARCHMETH2 is set to OFF. In some cases, a combination of settings can cause an error where IBM Spectrum Protect™ Plus cannot enable log archive backup.
When you are backing up data with the Enable Log Backups selected, the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Db2® agent looks for an available LOGARCHMETH parameter with an OFF value. This parameter is then used to set the DISK path for the backup operation.
Important: To ensure that your backup jobs include log archives, one of the Db2 LOGARCHMETH1 or LOGARCHMETH2 parameters must be set to OFF. This setting ensures that IBM Spectrum Protect Plus can set the DISK path for the log backup operation to the vSnap repository.
Refer to the relevant version of the Db2 documentation to review the log backup settings and log backup destinations.
Exceptions
If both LOGARCHMETH parameters are OFF.
When both parameters are OFF, archive logs are not backed up, even if Enable Log Backups is selected. This is because the database is not in recovery mode. You must set one LOGARCHMETH parameter to a value other than OFF, so that the database is in rollforward recoverable mode, and restart the database.
Note: To disable log backups, deselect Enable Log Backups and run the backup job. This setting resets the required LOGARCHMETH parameter to its original value, disabling log backups.
If LOGARCHMETH1 is set to LOGRETAIN, or one is set to USEREXIT.
This configuration supports log backup. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Db2 application server resets LOGARCHMETH1 to DISK path for the log backup operation to the vSnap repository.
If both LOGARCHMETH parameters are set to DISK, TSM, or VENDOR.
This setting combination causes an error when IBM Spectrum Protect Plus attempts to enable log backups. To fix this, set one of the parameters to OFF, and run the backup job with Enable Log Backups selected.
Note: This setting never backs up logs and prohibits recovery from transactional logs during a restore operation.
Truncating archive log backups
IBM Spectrum Protect Plus automatically deletes older transactional logs after a successful database backup. This action ensures that capacity is not compromised by retention of older log files, which are already saved in the snapshot. The retention of snapshots is defined in the SLA policy chosen. For more information about SLA policies, Defining an SLA Backup Job.
IBM Spectrum Protect Plus does not manage the retention of other archived log locations. Administrators must continue to manage those logs with their existing log retention policies. Db2 provides a command to purge log archives and database backups with a specific timestamp.

Hello! I am Pol and I am one of the programmers of the team.
In this project I have worked from the beginning as an engine programmer and the last days I have worked in gameplay. I worked on creating the UI system on the engine we use. I spent all these months creating and improving the system every day to offer the maximum features to the team so that they had no barriers when creating the gameplay.
I chose to do the UI system because I was the UI programmer in Project II and I also did the UI system for the video game engine subject. This has increased my interest as it is a very important part of the game.
I started working with Alex Morales and Oriol Capdevila, who helped me with the bases, and then I worked alone on the system.
The UI system works similarly to how Unity does, as we've taken references from it. If you want to create a UI element at least you need a Canvas. There can be as many canvas as desired and each UI element must be assigned to one, otherwise it will not be seen.
We have implemented the basic UI elements:
Canvas is the main element in the UI system. Every single element need a Canvas. There can be as many canvas as desired. If an element has no Canvas, it won't appear. There are two types of Canvas:
The normal canvas or 2D is the traditional canvas. It allows to render the UI in a 2D mode. In the other hand, canvas world or 3D allows you to render UI 3D, as if it was a cube for example. To do this, a billboard must be made to the camera since the elements have to be orientated to the camera each moment. There are three different types of orientation for the UI World: Screen, World and Axis. Also, the canvas can allow or not the navigation of its childrens.
It is made up of different states: Idle, Hover, Click, Pressed, Disabled. At least one texture can be assigned per state, found in the inspector. This means that each state can have more than one texture, creating animated textures, like a gif.
You can change the color of every state too.
You can also modify the velocity of the animated image of every state.
The button is one of the navigable elements in the UI. As you can see in the inspector, there is a section for the navigation. This will be explained later to understand how it works.
The same as the navigation, there is a section for the script listeners. You can attach at least one function from a script to each of the states of the button. This functions will be called when the button is in a concret state. This will be explained later to understand how it works.
By last, every navigable element have a section for its sound. This sounds will be played when you click the element or you move from one to another.
The Checkbox is one of the navigable elements. It has different states to determinate what it should do and it has some sections similars with all the navigable elements. First, it is made up of three textures: background, cross and tick. The Cross and the mark change each other each time the checkbox is interacted with. You can also scale the cross and tick, to fit it with the background. Also, you can change the color of the background, tick and cross. The shared sections are the navgiation and the script listeners. This works the same for each navigable element.
The slider is the last navigable element. It is composed by two textures: background and slider dot. The slider will move based on its value that is shown in the inspector. You can change the slider colors and change the slider dot scale. It has the Navigation section but it doesn't have the script listeners section. This is because the slider doesn't need to call a function. You can take the value throught script or modify the value. Last, it has the Audio section.
The bar is an element that has two textures: background and bar. The functionality of the bar is to increase the value of the texture of the bar. Commonly used for life bars, resistance bars, experience bars and much more. You can customize the minimum and maximum value of the bar and change the current value. Also you can change the bar scale and add an offset, to create richer bars and have more freedom at the time of adding the textures. As the other UI elements, you can change the bar and background colors. What makes it distinctive is the fact that you can set what type of scissoring you want to apply. The scissoring type indicates how you want the bar to increase. We have three different types:
This scissoring type can be setted using the inspector
The animated image works as a gif should do. There is no limit when putting more textures. With the "+" button you add a new position to the array and with "-" you erase the last position. You can add textures to the different positions to create a gif. The speed of the animation can be controlled through the inspector or through scripts. You have the possibility to set the gif as a loop or not.
When I started thinking about how to create the UI navigation, I had a hard time thinking how could I do that with GameObjects.
The idea of creating Navigation as Unity does in one of its options, was given by my teammate Christian Martinez.
Navigation consists of each navigable element having four possible neighbors that we will move to when we interact with the gamepad.
The neighbors are: Up, Down, Left and Right.
This neighbor type is linked to gamepad movement.
This type of navigation provides much more extensive customization and allows links to be made between elements in a way that would not be possible with another system.
The UI elements that allows navigation are:
This system was possible thanks to Oriol Capdevila
There are two UI elements that can call functions from a script. These elements are:
They can call at least one function in its state. The most common state to add a function is OnClick()
To add a function to a state, you need to add the script to the user interface element in question. Once you add it You will have in the inspector the option to add a function of that script to any of the states you want.
There is no limit of functions by state
In the inspector you will see the Functions Added and Functions to Add
Working with such a large team has been more difficult than I expected, but it is a unique and sometimes fun experience. In addition, the pressure that falls on oneself when what has been done does not work well is very great.  Seeing the good results that all your hard work has given is very gratifying.

Michael Bloomberg considers run for president against Donald Trump
Bloomberg, 77, had considered a run earlier this year but decided not to run and instead support Democratic efforts to regain control in Washington
by BloombergFormer New York City Mayor Michael R Bloomberg is once again considering a run for president in 2020, with an advisor saying he is concerned that the current crop of Democratic contenders will not be able to defeat President Donald Trump.
Bloomberg, 77, had considered a run earlier this year but decided not to run and instead support Democratic efforts to regain control in Washington. Now he is open once again to running against Trump himself. Bloomberg is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News.
“We now need to finish the job and ensure that Trump is defeated — but Mike is increasingly concerned that the current field of candidates is not well positioned to do that,” said Bloomberg adviser Howard Wolfson.

This research presents a framework for shared analysis based on a critical look at the information flows between government agencies, consultants, and stakeholders. The strategy achieves four goals:
- The nature of analytic models is made more visible and therefore brought into the public discourse.
- The infrastructure proposed lowers transaction costs, making reflection, repetition, and refinement more feasible.
- Models from different groups can interact and be the basis of more holistic research.
- Barriers between presentation, analysis and record-keeping tools are removed.
Many emerging information technologies are discussed, including XML, XML Schema, Semantic Web, Web services and Flash.

Well what can I say....
I was on vacation for fall break, relaxing in beautiful San Destin. I had reserved an ounce of some delicious(but overpriced) cannabis I always purchase for special occasions. You know, the green and orange frosted nugs. Anyways, I had also purchased a quarter of shrooms. This would be the first time I had tripped shrooms. I had tripped lsd on one occasion but as for tripping that was it. However, I'm a daily smoker.
I was with two of my good friends the night I ate the shrooms. I was skeptical of eating a quarter so I measured out 5 grams instead. One of my friends ate the same amount of shrooms and smoked herb with me. Luckily he had his own herb to smoke on so I wasn't unnerved with having to pass my spliffs.
We ate the shrooms around 6:30 pm, nearing darkness. We were all 3 sitting in our condo living room, balcony open with a fantastic view of the beach, smell of the ocean, breeze strong. It was pure relaxation. I felt very confident that I would enjoy my trip being in a very temperate florida climate with the beach within footsteps.
Wow. The trip really started kicking in around 7:15. I felt a little shakey and sweaty but I knew the feeling all too well from my last lsd experience. Surprisingly, the uneasiness went away within minutes. I'm assuming this is the difference between the organic trip and the synthetic trip at this point.
I felt very close to my two friends and their words began to hold more meaning to me. With every hit I took from my spliff I felt the rush of thc in my bloodstream. I closed my eyes and imagined the chemicals travelling in my veins. It seemed that I could imagine anything I wanted to and I could live it inside my thoughts.
 We are walking out to the beach. The cool breeze feels like it's cleansing every pore on my body. As we approach the beach I stared out in the ocean. It looked like a black abyss, territory that I wouldn't dare venture to.
I lit up a spliff and slowly crept down the shore lost in the patterns the water made in the sand when the tide splashed up on the shore. I felt synchronized with time and with everything around me. The large buildings away from shore by the condo looked like giant glowing sculptures, being that some windows on the side were lit up and some were dark. Needless to say, the buildings looked extremely trippy. I thought to myself 'These shrooms grow on the earth naturally and when they are eaten one can see such beauty and feel such euphoria as I am.' I realize it is an extremely simple and a not very exciting thought, but it comforted me at the time and made me feel connected with this world.
My heart almost stopped when I saw a group of sea gulls flying low to the water right beside me. Their eyes glowed green and they glided so smoothly close to the surface. It was truly a visual and mental spectacle that I'll remember and relate to forever.
After the beach the trip was slowing down and I enjoyed the rest of it with more spliffs to eventually put me to sleep.

biography
Hi,my name is Jingxing Yao, a big fun of science and history. Everything like miracle takes my fancy a lot. I think that's the reason why I am so fonded with front-end development, since it is a mixture of aesthetics and technology. A decently designed app or web page
is truly an artifect.
I am a big fun of javascript and typescript.


go-ian
Simple debian package building and management named in memory of the late Ian Murdock, founder of the Debian project.
The purpose of this tool is to decrease the overhead in maintaining a debian package stored in a git repository. It tries to mimic the CLI of other popular tools such as git and bundler. It is intended to be helpful when integrating other build tools/systems and with CI/CD.
It has been ported to golang from the ruby project of the same name.
You can download binaries and Debian packages from the releases page.
Requirements
I shell out a bit to save time, will eventually make things more native. For now, need the following tools:
- dpkg-deb
- fakeroot
- rsync
This should do it.
sudo apt-get install fakeroot dpkg-dev rsync coreutils findutils
Installation
Simple to build / install, provided you have go setup:
go get github.com/penguinpowernz/go-ian
go install github.com/penguinpowernz/go-ian/cmd/ian
I will provide some binaries once I figure out how github releases section works.
Usage
This tool is used for working with what Debian called “Binary packages” - that is ones that have the DEBIAN
folder in capitals to slap Debian packages together quickly. It uses dpkg-deb -b in the background which most
Debian package maintainers frown at but it is suitable enough for rolling your own packages quickly, and it
scratches an itch.
Creation/Initializing
ian new my-package
Analogous to bundle new gemname
or rails new appname
this will create a folder called my-package
in the
current folder and initialize it with the appropriate debian files.
ian init
Analagous to git init
this will do the same as new
but do it in the current folder.
Now you will see you have a DEBIAN
folder with a control
and postinst
file.
Info
ian info
This will simply dump the control file contents out.
Set fields in the control file
The architecture and the version can be set quickly in this manner. Other fields are not (yet) supported.
ian set -a amd64
ian set -v 1.2.3-test
You can also use increments on semantic versions like so:
ian set -v +M # increment the Major number
ian set -v +m # increment the minor number
ian set -v +p # increment patch level
Packaging
ian pkg [-b]
The one you came here for. Packages the repo in a debian package, excluding junk files like .git
and .gitignore
,
moves root files (like README.md
) to a /usr/share/doc
folder so you don’t dirty your root partition on install.
The package will be output to a pkg
directory in the root of the repo. It will also generate the md5sums file
and calculate the package size proir to packaging. By adding a -b
flag it will run the build script before
packaging.
Build
ian build
This will run the build script found in DEBIAN/build
parsing it the following arguments:
- root directory of the package git repository
- architecture from the control file
- version from the control file
It can do whatever things you need it to do to prepare for the packaging such as building binaries, etc.
Push
ian push [name]
Setup scripts to run in a file called .ianpush
in the repo root and running ian push
will run all the lines in
the file as commands with the current package. The package filename will be appended to each command unless $PKG
is found on the line, in which case that will be replaced with the package filename. Alternatively the package
filename can be given as an argument.
Other
Some other commands:
ian install # installs the current package
ian excludes # shows the excluded files
ian size # calculates the package size (in kB)
ian -v # prints the ian version
ian version # prints the package version
ian versions # prints all known versions
ian deps # prints the dependencies line by line
bpi # run build, pkg, install
pi # run pkg, install
pp # run pkg, push
bp # run build, pkg
bpp # run build, pkg push
You can also use the envvar IAN_DIR
in the same way that you would use GIT_DIR
- that is, to do stuff
with ian but from a different folder location.
Library Usage
The Debian package Control
struct could come in handy for others. As a quick overview here’s what it can do:
Parse([]byte) (Control, error)
- parse the bytes from the control fileRead(string) (Control, error)
- read the given file and parse it’s contentsDefault() (Control)
- a default package control filectrl.Filename() string
- the almost Debian standard filename (missing distro name)ctrl.String() string
- render the control file as a stringctrl.WriteFile(string) error
- write the string into the given filename
Plus the exported fields on the Control
struct that mirror the dpkg field names.
For more information please check the godocs.
Dogfooding
The debian package source for Ian is actually managed by Ian in the folder dpkg
. So you can build the debian
package for ian, using ian. Give it a try!
go get github.com/penguinpowernz/go-ian
go install github.com/penguinpowernz/go-ian/cmd/ian
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/penguinpowernz/go-ian/dpkg
ian build
ian pkg
sudo $GOBIN/ian install # or sudo dpkg -i pkg/ian_v1.0.0_amd64.deb
TODO
- tests
- add help page
- add subcommands help
- releasing
- pushing
- test pushing
- ignore file
- allow specifying where to output the package to after building
- deps management
- running of a build script
- install after packaging
- package a specific version
- optional semver enforcement
- utilize rules file
- support copyright file
- support changelog
- don’t shell out for md5sums
- don’t shell out for rsync
- don’t shell out for find
- pull maintainer from git config

:: Guide :: Tasks ::
Adapting Domain Properties
If the domain object properties are implemented as Java Bean properties,
they can be converted to ValueModels using a PresentationModel,
BeanAdapter, or PropertyAdapter. Typically you'll use
a PresentationModel, in some cases the simpler BeanAdapter, and only
if you want to convert a single property, you may consider using
a PropertyAdapter.
Observing and Firing Property Changes
In most cases we want to automatically update the view
of a bound domain property changes. More generally,
we want to update a view if a bound value changes.
Therefore we must be able to register with the bound value
to get notified about changes. That's the second role
of the ValueModels - besides reading and writing values.
The Java Bean standard describes a standard mechanism
to report changes in property values and to listen to
these changes, or in other words, to observe values.
To make Bean properties bound, the bean class must
provide a pair of methods to add and remove a
PropertyChangeListener.
We use the same mechanism and exactly the same events
for all ValueModels in the JGoodies Binding.
To minimize the effort required to make your bean
properties bound, you can extend the class Model
that provides all the methods necessary to fire events
and register listeners.
Converting Values to Views
To present a value with a Swing component, you can either
set the value in the component, or you can provide a component model
that will be used by the component to read and write values from/to.
If possible we favor the latter approach and therefore offer
a bunch of adapter classes that convert ValueModels into
the model interface required by the different Swing components.
For example, the RadioButtonAdapter is a model that converts
a ValueModel so it can be used with a JRadioButton.
And the DocumentAdapter converts a ValueModel
into a Document implementation, for use in JTextField,
JTextArea and all other JTextComponents.
The BasicComponentFactory can create Swing components
that are bound to a ValueModel; the factory chooses the appropriate
adapter. If you already have a component factory, or if you are using
customized versions of the standard Swing components, you can use
the more basic Bindings class. It establishes the connection
between a ValueModel and a given Swing component by setting the
appropriate ValueModel adapter as the component's model.
A BufferedValueModel is used to hold a temporary copy of
the value in another ValueModel (known as the subject).
The application modifies the temporary copy, but the
BufferedValueModel only gives this temporary value to its subject
when the application confirms the changes.
The application also has the option of canceling the changes,
resetting the temporary copy to the subject's value.
For example, suppose the application provides a series of text fields
for entering customer name, address, phone, etc., but we only want
the Customer object to be updated after the user has finished
entering data and has indicated completion by clicking on an OK button.
This technique is often used in database applications, to postpone
updating the customer record in the database until all changes to that
record are completed. In this application, the customer's old address
would likely be held by an PropertyAdapter on the Customer bean.
The property adapter would become the subject of a BufferedValueModel.
The BufferedValueModel would make a temporary copy of the customer's
address and make that value available to the input field for editing.
The user could change the address, but so far only the temporary copy
has been altered. Only when the users clicks on 'OK' does the application
notify each field's BufferedValueModel to replace the corresponding value
in the Customer object.
A BufferedValueModel is constructed for given ValueModels for the subject
and trigger channel. The subject is a ValueModel containing the data value.
The trigger channel is a ValueHolder containing the boolean object false.
Later, when the user clicks on 'OK', the application can cause the
temporary copy to become the subject's value by setting the triggerChannel's
value to true. The application can also cancel any edits, by setting
the triggerChannel's value to false. Note that the prior value in
the triggerChannel is not significant - as long as a value change
is reported.
By using the same trigger channel for all of the BufferedValueModels,
the application can cause them all to be updated at the same time.
This is the usual arrangement for a set of related widgets.
Change Management
You may want to detect whether the user has changed an object
in an editor to enable or disable a 'Save' action or an 'OK' button.
Therefore you can compare the edited object's old and new values,
or listen to object property changes, or observe the buffering state
of BufferedValueModels - if you use any.
Comparing old and new values is the most precise approach
to detect whether things changed or not. But it requires
to duplicate the edited values and compare them later.
You can copy (or clone) your domain objects and compare
them after each change using a custom #equals implementation.
The classes PresentationModel and BeanAdapter provide a means
to detect potential changes. They listen to all bean property
changes and keep this state in a bound property changed.
You can read, write and observe this state, for example to
enable or disable Actions.
If you are buffering the edited values, you can listen to
the BufferedValueModels buffering property to detect
pending changes.
Indirection
Indirection is used to change the target object of a bound
object property from one target to another. For example,
if you display a list of albums, and present the selection
in a details panel, you want to change the target object
whenever the selection changes. In other words, the details
components are bound to the property of an object,
the indirection tells the binding which object it is.
If you are using PresentationModel, BeanAdapter or PropertyAdapter to convert
Bean properties to ValueModels, you can set the current target bean
in these adapters using #setBean(Object).
If multiple ValueModels shall be redirected from one target
to another, you'll typically use a bean channel.
That is another ValueModel that holds the target bean.
And every interested party can observe changes in the
bean channel to change its target. The PresentationModel,
BeanAdapter and PropertyAdapter already provide constructors
to use a bean channel.
The ValueModel interface operates on general Object instances.
If you want to convert types, you can wrap a ValueModel and
perform the conversion while you get and set a value.
In addition you must convert the old and new value in all
PropertyChangeEvents fired by the wrapping ValueModel.
Class AbstractConverter minimizes the effort required
for such a conversion.
Conversions among ValueModels are rare, just because most conversions
are required only for the presentation in the user interface.
The latter can often be handled using the JFormattedTextField
that provides a powerful means to format, parse, verify, and
modify objects. See also the JavaDoc class comment in
AbstractConverter.
Renaming Domain Properties
If you use Java Bean properties in the domain layer,
there are no direct references from the model or presentation layer
to the domain. To access properties the property's name and
the accessor names must by synchronized. This makes renaming properties
a little bit harder.
I recommend to use String constants, not Strings,
for the property names. Then refer to these constants when
getting ValueModels from a PresentationModel or when adding
and removing listeners. Renaming a property is then a 2-step process:
you rename 1) the getter and setter and 2) the property name constant.
Note that this renaming problem applies to code obfuscation too.
Most code obfuscators rename the property accessor names,
but leave the property name unchanged. Attempts to observe
the property or to create an adapting ValueModel by the
property name will then fail.
Either you exclude the Bean accessors from the obfuscation,
or you use ValueHolders in the domain. I personally favor
Beans and assume that most accessor names do not expose
the domain logic to be hidden by the obfuscator.

First case of sexually transmitted dengue confirmed in Spain
by bdnews24.comHealth authorities in Spain have confirmed the first ever case of dengue virus to be transmitted through sexual contact which until recently was thought to be transmitted only by mosquitos.

His dengue infection was confirmed in September and it puzzled doctors because he had not travelled to a country where the disease, which causes severe flu-like symptoms such as high fever and body aches, is common, said Susana Jimenez of the Madrid region's public health department.
"His partner presented the same symptoms as him but lighter around ten days earlier, and he had previously visited Cuba and the Dominican Republic," she added.
"An analysis of their sperm was carried out and it revealed that not only did they have dengue but that it was exactly the same virus which circulates in Cuba."
A ‘likely' case of sexual transmission of dengue between a man and a woman was the subject of a recent scientific article in South Korea, she said.
Bangladesh witnessed worst dengue fever outbreak so far this year in 2019.
According to the Health Emergency Operations and Control Room of the Directorate General of Health Services or DGHS, a total of 91,053 patients suffering from dengue have received treatment in the hospitals across the country since the beginning of the year.
The government records show 50,148 patients received treatment for dengue fever from 2000 to 2018.
Dengue fever spread for the first time in the country in 2000. The government figure of patients suffering from dengue was 5,551 that year with 93 among them dying. That was the highest number of deaths due to dengue over the past 19 years.
