Ede also said he wants to ensure “individuals [aren’t] … prosecuted or denied any form of social integration or jobs based on their sexual orientation or gender identity,” but also wants to work to “disentangle that from the treatment or the response to children.” Ede did not provide specific examples of how he would fight against discrimination The PPC platform, however, aims to remove Bill C-16, which protects trans people and other gender diverse people from discrimination in Canada Regarding educating children around such issues incapable of understanding … the long term impact of things like ..

Francine Houben (Holland 1955) began formulating the three fundamentals of her lifelong architectural vision while studying at the Delft University of Technology It was in this crucible of higher learning that she began an architectural practice with two fellow students with the design of a groundbreaking social housing development she graduated as architect with cum laude honours in 1984 and officially founded Mecanoo architecten with these same partners.Francine has remained true to her architectural vision Always looking for inspiration and the secret of a specific location Francine bases her work on both analyses and intuition playful and humane aspects together in order to form a unique solution to each situation Francine Houben combines the disciplines of architecture urban planning and landscape architecture in an untraditional way; with sensitivity for light and beauty.Her use of material is expressive She is known as one of the most prolific architects in Europe today Her wide-ranging portfolio comprises an intimate chapel built on the foundations of a former 19th century chapel in Rotterdam (2001) to Europe’s largest library in Birmingham (2013) Francine Houben’s work reveals a sensory aspect determined by form and space a lavish use or subtle combinations of the most diverse materials Francine’s contribution to the profession of architecture is widely recognized She was granted lifelong membership to the Akademie der Künste she received the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman of the Year Award Honorary fellowships to the American Institute of Architects and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and an international fellowship to the Royal Institute of British Architects were granted to her in previous years The past three decades have seen her cumulative effect on the profession of architecture Francine lectures all over the world and takes part as a jury member in prestigious competitions.Her commitment to research and education is evidenced in her instatement as professor in Architecture Chair of Aesthetics of Mobility at the Delft University of Technology (2000) her professorship at the Universitá della Svizzera Italiania Switzerland (2000) and her appointment as visiting professor at Harvard (2007) Dedication to her alma mater is reflected in generous sponsorship of the UfD-Mecanoo Award for the best graduating student of the Delft University of Technology a modern city where the skyline is dotted with buildings designed by world renowned architects; including her award winning Montevideo Skyscraper (2005) It was in this dynamic city that she directed and curated the First International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (2003) She has realised numerous signature projects throughout the Netherlands and Europe including Philips Business Innovation Centre La Llotja Theatre and Conference Centre in Lleida Spain (2009) and the Delft University of Technology Library (1999) she is expanding her architectural vision to other continents with the design of Taiwan’s largest theatre complex The Wei-Wu-Ying Center for the Arts in Kaohsiung (2014) Dudley Municipal Center in Boston (USA) and Shenzhen Cultural Center (China) In 2011 the book Dutch Mountains was released a chronicle of Francine Houben and eight special projects in five different countries.Francine maintains an active presence in academia and culture regularly publishing and giving lectures worldwide She has performed in many academic and professional capacities throughout her career including Chair of Architecture and Aesthetics of Mobility at Delft University of Technology visiting professor at Harvard Graduate School of Design and as director of the First International Architecture Biennale in Rotterdam.Francine has received honorary fellowships from the Royal Institute of British Architects the American Institute of Architects and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada In 2014 Francine was named Woman Architect of the Year by the Architects’ Journal and in November 2015 Queen Máxima of The Netherlands presented Francine with the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Prize for her wide-ranging career Francine was awarded Honorary Doctorates from the Université de Mons Belgium (2017) and the Utrecht University (2016) “Architecture must appeal to all the senses Architecture is never a purely intellectual Architecture is about combining all the individual elements into a single concept What counts in the end is the arrangement of form and emotion.” architect/creative director Mecanoo Architecten Archive Architecture Freek van Ede wants to understand what lies at the core of cognition — and he’s doing by looking deep in your eyes By Bethany Brookshire their brain takes in information from what they’ve perceived but can no longer see Their brain sorts through that information — the color for example — and selects what is most important the biker takes the correct turn and continues on Freek van Ede uses a lot of bicycling metaphors This makes sense for a researcher in the Netherlands A cognitive neuroscientist at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam His focus is not on external attention — what someone is looking at or attending to in the moment van Ede is trying to understand internal attention — how the brain focuses on and grabs exactly what it needs from vast amounts of incoming information to guide future behavior We summarize the week's scientific breakthroughs every Thursday By subscribing, you agree to our Terms & Privacy Policy.  You must be 13 or older to sign up For full digital access, consider a $2.99 per month subscription Van Ede thinks of the brain as an organ of anticipation using recent experience to guide upcoming actions is a process our brains are performing at all times “It’s really at the core of cognition,” van Ede says the ability to store information short-term but also attention — because we have to select from that stored information to translate it into action and I think that’s what appeals to me about it Though scientists often form subdisciplines that treat different aspects of brain functions as discrete areas of research van Ede hopes to combine studies of working memory and attention to get a better understanding of thought as a whole van Ede and his colleagues have developed new techniques to measure exactly how people might be processing the world around them.   Van Ede and his collaborators have “really pushed the investigation of the relationship between attention and working memory in sort of new and fresh directions,” says Tobias Egner a cognitive neuroscientist at Duke University “It’s really gained fresh momentum in the last decade and I think Freek’s work is being quite influential in that.” During his undergraduate studies at Utrecht University in the Netherlands van Ede was thrilled to find out that he could continue studying and learning for his whole career — all he had to do was become a scientist He especially recalls what drew him to his eventual postdoctoral mentor He remembers “just reading her studies and thinking there’s somebody doing things a bit different than most people do it.’” At the time, most cognitive neuroscientists were looking at attention in terms of space —putting blocks in different places on a screen, for example, and asking people to select among the blocks. Nobre, however, was interested in how time might play a role Van Ede began thinking about the question of time We move through the world and see things in sequence or even ride a bike or anything we do,” van Ede says “our movements are carefully orchestrated in time.” Getting a more real-world picture means measuring brain activity in real time, which is why van Ede uses electroencephalography “It’s kind of remarkable that we can put an electrode on somebody’s skull … and we can measure electrical activity emitted by the brain,” he says “That means we can measure brain activity as it’s happening.” People can also move freely in EEG caps and so encounter the world more realistically van Ede and his colleagues were pairing EEG with eye-tracking data — a way to ensure participants looked at what they were told to I decided to actually dive in and explore the eye data,” van Ede says “I think out of curiosity really.” He found that when someone was asked to recall something about an object that had been on-screen their gaze flicked toward where the object had been That flicking was detectable as microsaccades — tiny unconscious movements that your eyes make multiple times per second These microsaccades are invisible to the naked eye and are smaller than the saccades that your eyes make two to three times per second to take in a visual scene Van Ede’s lab has used the technique to show that when preparing for the future, the brain doesn’t hold multiple pieces of disparate information and wait until all the information is in to make a plan. Instead, the brain plans possible actions as each piece of information comes in — even though the brain can only select one plan in the end Van Ede “seems to be very good at coming up with new twists on older designs” for a task “looking at new measures and old measures in new ways.” The surprise finding is emblematic of the curiosity-driven research that van Ede hopes to emphasize in his lab A basic understanding of how the brain plans actions could someday help us understand memory disorders or attention problems What he and his team choose to study is “a little bit based on our intuition or based on some intriguing findings that we want to chase down,” van Ede says In recent work, van Ede and colleagues are looking for signs of the systematic pulling of microsaccades while participants play in virtual reality Study participants work inside a virtual world where objects flow past rather than flashing on-screen as is typical in such tests van Ede tracks the tiny eye movements to see how participants’ brains are using the information they recently encountered to make a plan It’s one step closer to biking through the streets of Amsterdam Questions or comments on this article?

Ginkelse Heide which commemorates the Allied airborne landings of September 1944 It was a mid-Thursday morning when our convoy of 18-seater buses rumbled to life embarking on a journey whose final destination remained a mystery to many of us The excursion marked the grand finale of the three-day OsunSDG Creatives program there was speculation about one particular stop—Ede Land “What could possibly be in Ede?” I wondered stepped off the bus to inquire about an alternate route that would bypass Ede entirely uncertain about what the town had to offer it became evident that Ede was our first destination Our doubts evaporated the moment we arrived their pulsating rhythms mingling with melodic voices in a mesmerizing welcome sweeping us into an atmosphere rich with tradition my eyes locked onto the bold Yoruba inscription at the entrance of a grand compound: Afin-Ilu But I soon learned the true meaning—The Drum’s Palace confirmed this distinction after a spirited performance by the students of the drum academy an extraordinary display of Yoruba musical heritage unfolded before us stood alongside striking cultural artworks their presence whispering stories of the past “Omo mo wa gba mi o gba ike; Omo mo wa gba mi o gba ike” (“I want a good child; I don’t want an imbecile.”) that the four wives of Obatala—the ancient Yoruba deity—sang to their husband as he danced after his favorite meal What began as a simple vocal melody evolved into something more profound: the rhythmic strike of a single stick on a drum The Ilu Igbin—a four-piece drum set—is deeply rooted in Yoruba cosmology the revered orisa believed to have descended from the heavens these drums stand proudly among countless others each bearing its own history and significance a direct descendant of Oba John Adetoyese Laoye I Afin-Ilu is an extraordinary cultural sanctuary It houses a vast collection of Yoruba musical instruments—sekere and a multitude of traditional drums—all carefully preserved to safeguard an artistic legacy Afin-Ilu was inspired by the late Oba Laoye a legendary drummer and dancer whose mastery of traditional music extended far beyond Yoruba land His influence was so profound that even Queen Elizabeth II was once welcomed to Nigeria with the resonant beats of his talking drums Balancing royal duties with his passion for drumming Oba Laoye became a global ambassador of Yoruba music propelling the talking drum to international recognition and cultural enthusiasts from around the world emphasizing the enduring role of drums as a language in Yoruba society “Drums are more than instruments; they communicate,” he explained He also underscored the importance of leveraging digital platforms to promote cultural heritage has been instrumental in bringing Afin-Ilu global attention and fostering new opportunities—most notably a recent partnership with Africa’s first music city What began as a reluctant detour turned into an unforgettable immersion into Yoruba tradition we were enveloped in a world where history and rhythm are inseparable and the wisdom shared by Prince Laoye transported us beyond the present—connecting us with centuries of cultural expression it was clear: Ede is not just another town It is a living testament to the power of tradition a place where the past sings and the drums never fall silent Miracle Adebayo is a Nigerian journalist with a

after it was reported by De Gelderlander The reason for this is the large fire on a nature reserve in Ede on Thursday which was caused by a smoke grande that was being used in a military exercise “We have told the units to be extra alert in these types of procedures.” Minister of Defense Ruben Brekelmans had said that the incident was no reason to stop the exercises especially considering the threats coming our way.” The Defense is going to investigate what went wrong on Thursday The VVD minister added that these type of exercises always come with certain risks It will now be investigated whether the right procedures were followed They are also looking into ways to reduce the risk of fires in the future “You want to prevent these types of fires.” The fire led to the Ede council receiving written questions on Friday “How is it possible that such exercises are allowed during a period of increased fire risk?" councilor Wesley Glasmacher of Forum voor Democratie asked The municipality reported on Friday that around 130 hectares caught fire Glasmacher stated that the fire had caused considerable damage to nature and caused unrest among the residents of Ede He wants to know from the council in what way the Ministry of Defense is being held responsible and whether the damage is recovered in any way The man who confessed to taking four workers hostage at a café in Ede earlier this year was found guilty by the District Court of Gelderland on Tuesday the court took the man’s mental state and lack of access to adequate mental care into account to nine months in prison and mandatory treatment in a TBS psychiatric facility and based in part on the recommendation from a psychiatric expert the TBS measure may be extended indefinitely Even though the victims were utterly terrified and feared for their lives a lengthier jail sentence would potentially interfere with H and could lead to another violent incident the jail time ordered was offset by the equivalent amount of time H The incident made headlines globally as the situation unfolded over the course of a Saturday morning “The man said that he had explosives in his backpack with which he could blow up the entire street The man held the four victims against their will in the café for hours,” the court said in its summary of the day Neither he nor the victims were physically harmed with the four victims reporting symptoms of serious psychological trauma as a result of the crime himself who ordered the victims to call emergency services to notify them of a hostage situation after he frisked the two male victims and had the female victims frisk each other requested to discuss the situation with a police negotiator During a status hearing before the Zutphen judges in July and with victims and family members present His defense largely relied on his personal circumstance as a mentally ill individual who has been desperate to get adequate psychological and psychiatric help borderline and narcissistic traits are recognized within the personality Both the autism spectrum disorder and the personality problems are characterized by a lasting nature and were present at the time of the charge,” the court said spent a long time searching for “appropriate assistance” This despite the fact that he was convicted in December 2023 on allegations that he threatened two police officers with a firearm was undergoing treatment at a specialist clinic H.’s attorneys said his residential treatment center poorly handled changes to prescription medications His parents further said that they called authorities during the hostage situation to notify them of behavioral changes that they observed after the prescriptions were changed The psychiatric expert noted that previous mental care has been insufficient borderline and narcissistic traits and the alcohol use probably partly influenced the suspect’s behavioral choices and behavior at the time of the charge be imputed to a lesser extent,” the court wrote “The psychiatrist believes that there is a high chance of violent recidivism both within and outside a controlled environment,” the court said the judges did not convict the man of hostage-taking but of the lesser crime of deprivation of liberty While he could have received up to eight years in prison the court found the mandatory and indefinite TBS measure to be more crucial than keeping H the crime fit the definition of the more severe charge of hostage-taking For the direct and indirect damages caused he was ordered to pay each victim amounts ranging from 4,800 to 5,200 euros He was also ordered to pay 1,240 euros in material damages to the café itself is banned from being in the municipality of Ede for a period of five years can periodically be granted

As a result, as the monarch turns 70, drums have been rolled out to appreciate his benevolence, candour and humanitarian disposition in the affairs of the kingdom. Ceasing the moment, the Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, sent a heartwarming message to celebrate the landmark age as well as the monarch’s achievements in 15 years of rulership. In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, and titled ADELEKE CELEBRATES TIMI OF EDE ON HIS BIRTHDAY, the governor hailed the monarch as a distinguished leader with remarkable flair for development, acknowledging his visionary and purposeful style to rulership, which has greatly impacted on the lives of subjects over the years. He also lauded him for entrenching sense of togetherness and patriotism, which has guided the physical development and economic progress the ancient town has seen in recent time while affirming the immeasurable benefit of the counsels of the monarch in enabling peace and tranquility in the state and beyond, commending his historical role in promoting Yoruba culture and traditions. He said: “As Oba Munirudeen turns a new age, I join family, friends and well-wishers across the globe to felicitate with him. Oba Munirudeen is a leader who prioritise the interest of his subject, exploring every opportunity to impact the lives of his people and cause admirable progress for his domain,” Governor Adeleke was quoted as saying in a congratulatory message. “By divine guidance and Kabiyesi’s leadership prowess, Ede land has enjoyed incredible progress over the years. On a personal note, Kabiyesi is a positive influence for me, as I am always inspired by his passion to make a difference in the lives of our people.” Also celebrating the monarch on his great day, popular hip hop sensation, Davido, gifted him a brand new GAC GS8 SUV luxurious car with total demonstration of respect and admiration for the chief custodian of Ede tradition. It is important to note that Davido is a native of Ede. As a follow-up to the celebrations, subjects, friends, well wishers and the general public organized a well deserved party for the monarch with notable personalities including Governor Adeleke, prominent Osun government officials, natives of Ede from all walks of life and members of the Nigerian entertainment circle. On the band stand on the day was the highly sought-after music maker, Evangelist Ebenezer Obey among others. The monarch, regally attired with all the paraphernalia of royalty was all smiles as he interacted with guests, impressed at the barefaced show of love.

Tella Justin Giresse is simply an international personality, with the capability to fix it all; diplomacy or business. A lot has happened in the life of African richest man, Aliko Dangote, since he celebrated his 67th birthday just about a year ago. One of such is the revolutionary trend in the petroleum industry following the kick off of production in his audacious refinery in Lagos. At 68 today, Dangote has become a greater force, maximizing respect for not just a job done, but a job perfectly done. Consequently, accolades from personalities across the nation, including President Bola Tinubu, Femi Otedola and a host of others have continued to surge towards the President, Dangote Group, a man of immense entrepreneurial and industrial expertise, as he hit another glorious age, celebrating 68 in grand style. To President Tinubu, Dangote is “Africa’s industrial icon,” whose unwavering commitment to nation-building must be praised. “Aliko Dangote’s life embodies hard work, generosity, and faith in Nigeria’s potential. His willingness to invest in people and nation-building reflects profound business ingenuity and love for humanity,” Tinubu noted. Otedola described him simply as one whose ‘journey is inspiring’, while heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, joined in the euphoria of conviviality, which describes the personality of the rich but simple Dangote. In fact, the cakes that were presented to celebrate his birthday are all testaments of the accomplished entrepreneur’s strides in the past years. Organisations such as GTBank, Access Bank, and FCMB each presented custom-made birthday cakes inspired by the legendary business achievements of the celebrant. One of the cakes was a towering depiction of a refinery, another was styled like a grand mosque, while yet another was designed in the shape of a cement factory. The billionaire businessman has consistently proved that his entrepreneurial skills are not just geared towards uplifting him as a person, but to creating an enabling environment for the Nigeria youth and child to grow and develop in an environment he can proudly co-own. His vision, no doubt, is practically for the greater good of the world in general, and Nigeria in particular. For so many blessed reasons and very many more, Dangote was named, and for the second consecutive year in 2024, the Africa’s foremost entrepreneur and humanist, and was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award. The billionaire industrialist was accorded special recognition by the Organised Private Sector (OPS) employers in the country under the aegis of Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA). That was just a tip of the iceberg in consideration to the avalanche of efforts he has put into business, and the lives touched so far. Born in Kano in 1957, Dangote proudly shuttles between three wonderful tags as the richest man in Nigeria; the richest man in Africa and the richest Black man in the world. He has paid his dues, and mankind is the better for it. The primary focus of ADF is child nutrition, with wraparound interventions centered on health, education and empowerment, and disaster relief. The Foundation also supports stand-alone projects with the potential for significant social impact. The Foundation works with state and national governments and many highly reputable international and domestic charities, non-governmental organizations and international agencies to advance its humanitarian agenda. In one of its biggest collaboration to date, Aliko Dangote Foundation started working in partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and key northern State Governments in Nigeria from 2013 to eradicate polio and strengthen routine immunization in Nigeria. Worthy of praise is the fact that nearly a decade, the Foundation has spent over N7 Billion in the course of feeding, clothing and the general welfare of the Internally Displaced Persons in the Northeast. To make his host communities feel at ease, and the impact of his presence, Dangote has embarked on an initiative to provide further support to improving educational systems in Ibeju-Lekki and Epe locality. The educational support initiative is a tripartite programme consisting of scholarship, capacity building for teachers and school infrastructure projects. In addition, Scholarships have been awarded to 52 secondary school students whilst some financial support was provided to their parents and/or guardians. Tertiary students will be included in the next batch of the scheme. Furthermore, about 100 teachers, principals and school administrators were trained in teaching techniques for the 21st century. After which they were monitored in class on how they were using the skills acquired. There is hardly any sector that has not felt the milk of human kindness running through Aliko Dangote; the military, media, politicians, governments across boards and more. As at today, there is no space for slowing down for Dangote as he continues to trudge on, creating firsts after first for himself and for humanity. He is blessed with three wonderful daughters, who have followed the rewarding footprints of entrepreneurship. Congratulations are in order for the African giant, and may he continue enjoy many more laurels as his footprints remain indelible in the sands of time.

It can be even more frustrating if you don’t get enough information to understand why the error is occurring or what to do next. That’s why back in 2020, we launched support for Extended DNS Error (EDE) Codes to 1.1.1.1 As a quick refresher, EDE codes are a proposed IETF standard enabled by the Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS) spec. The codes return extra information about DNS or DNSSEC issues without touching the RCODE so that debugging is easier Now we’re happy to announce we will return more error code types and include additional helpful information to further improve your debugging experience Let’s run through some examples of how these error codes can help you better understand the issues you may face To try for yourself, you’ll need to run the dig or kdig command in the terminal. For dig, please ensure you have v9.11.20 or above. If you are on macOS 12.1, by default you only have dig 9.10.6. Install an updated version of BIND to fix that Let’s start with the output of an example dig command without EDE support we tried to do DNSSEC validation on dnssec-failed.org Now let’s try that again with 1.1.1.1’s EDE support this time there is also an EDE Code 9 which stands for “DNSKey Missing” we also have additional information saying “no SEP matching the DS found” for dnssec-failed.org Another nifty feature is that we will return multiple errors when appropriate we returned a SERVFAIL with three different error codes: “Unsupported DNSKEY Algorithm” Here’s a list of the additional codes we now support: We have documented all the error codes we currently support with additional information you may find helpful.

center of Ede offered his apologies to them in court on Tuesday his attorney argued that the situation was the result of a mentally ill individual receiving inadequate care poor monitoring of the impact of prescription changes and a failure to get placement in a more appropriate treatment center said defense attorney Petra Breukink in court and tends to regret his actions once he cools off to first address those taken hostage when she spoke in court "Corné apologizes to his victims," she stated He understood the damage his actions caused and has sincere regret for being the reason they may now suffer from post-traumatic stress "He feels guilt and sorrow for the victims is the main theme." The owner of the cafe previously said H. was in the pub and looked confused and “lifeless” before four employees were taken hostage at about 4:30 a.m The bar owner had already left the venue for the night but checked the live stream from Petticoat’s security cameras at 5 a.m He then saw a masked man appear on one of the cameras then ordered the two female hostages to frisk each other They were then forced to remain on the floor with their hands on the wall he insisted on a ransom of 10,000 euros in cash and non-violent treatment by police were shaken up as they walked to a police staging area wearing black hoodies with the Petticoat logo on them The fourth hostage was released less than an hour later The hostage-taker then walked out of Petticoat at 12:30 p.m wearing a balaclava with his hands raised high and police blindfolded him before taking him in for questioning It emerged in court that as the situation unfolded during the ensuing hours They had noticed behavioral changes in their son after his medication was adjusted an act which earned thanks in court from the Public Prosecution Service (OM) was residing in an assisted living home that poorly handled prescription changes The OM also acknowledged that the probation services agency also tried to organize better care for H. has agreed to undergo questioning in the case A forensic social worker will also examine the case Breukink said this was never a situation of an uncooperative individual refusing treatment He badly wanted sufficient help to treat his healthcare issues He was receiving treatment at his residential clinic but his attorneys already questioned whether H was getting the care he needed there in April They said "a hopeless situation arose," telling RTL Nieuws that he was desperate to get "appropriate assistance.” was convicted of threatening police officers in December the court suspended 103 days of a 120-day sentence The probation order was to remain in place if the man underwent psychiatric treatment They already said they wanted to investigate if H. created the hostage situation just to get access to mental healthcare. He never had a direct connection to the Petticoat café "It seems likely that there is a connection with the client's very long search for appropriate assistance," said Breukink and Willemijn Oosterbaan-van Veen "This appears to have led to the terrible event that we regret for all involved."
