Screening Tool Predicts Risk for Dementia in Patients with Parkinson's Disease
VBCN - July 2015 Volume 2, No 2 - Parkinson's Disease
Chase Doyle
San Diego, CA—A quick and easy clinical prediction tool can delineate a 4-year risk for dementia in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). According to a study presented at the International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders, the tool, which can be applied in bedside assessments, predicted dementia with >80% accuracy in patients with PD.
"The 6- to 8-item clinical prediction tool was able to clearly delineate medium-term risk of dementia in PD," said Julius B.M. Anang, MD, PhD, Neurologist, St. Boniface Clinic, Winnipeg, Canada. "Further confirmation of predictors and validation of tool is needed in larger cohort."
Dr Anang told Value-Based Care in Neurology that dementia is among the most devastating nonmotor features of PD, causing severe decline in quality of life, increased caregiver burden, increased mortality, and often institutionalization. The prevalence of dementia in patients with PD ranges between 24% and 50%.
In Dr Anang's opinion, it is necessary to develop a predictive algorithm for PD dementia so that only the highest-risk patients are treated with potentially harmful neuroprotective medications. Recognizing early cognitive impairment could also enable researchers to select better populations to test these drugs in clinical trials.
"It's important to expose only the highest-risk patients to those side effects," he said. "People who have the highest risk of developing dementia would be the best group to target with these medications."
Using regression analysis, receiver-operating characteristic curves, and sensitivity analysis in the primary cohort, Dr Anang and colleagues chose 8 variables to generate a dementia scoring algorithm. They then tested these predictive variables in 2 external prospective cohorts in Montreal and Japan.
"We chose variables that predicted dementia on regression analysis and could be applied in bedside assessments," Dr Anang reported. "This test is designed to be performed in a matter of minutes. Someone used to doing it should only take about 10 minutes."
Screening for Dementia
The 8 variables included age >70 years, male sex, bilateral disease onset, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder, freezing and/or falls, orthostatic systolic blood pressure reduction >10 mm Hg, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and having hallucinations.
Of these variables, 5 were significantly associated with dementia in this cohort. Bilateral disease onset, hallucinations, and freezing and/or falls were not significant, but all had odds ratios between 1.7 and 2.0.
The researchers then created 2 predictive scales. One scale combined all the variables (the primary outcome), and the second did not include variables directly related to cognition (MCI, hallucinations).
The scale predicted dementia with 82% accuracy, 71% sensitivity, and 85% specificity in 214 patients, Dr Anang reported.
"Using a 3-category delineation, dementia risk was 3% in the 'low-risk' patients, 31% in the 'intermediate-risk,' and 70% in the 'high-risk' group," he said. "The triple combination of baseline REM sleep behavior disorder, MCI, and orthostatic systolic blood pressure drop conveyed the highest risk."
Dr Anang added, "due to time constraints, physicians often fail to perform blood pressure of patients with PD, which is an important, nonmodal feature of cognitive dysfunction. Because most physicians that we contacted didn't have this aspect of the scale, we couldn't use their data."
Dr Anang is continuing to verify this scoring system. "The best way to verify our findings is to have other physicians look at their patients and see how accurately this scale is able to predict dementia. If you see someone with a score of 5, this might be someone you want to follow more closely. In Canada, for example, patients are only seen once every 16 months by their neurologist, so those higher-risk patients should definitely be seen a bit more frequently," he concluded.

BkiUfIg5qhDCnXuZu-Yk | They say the Mayan's got it wrong...but the Mayan's never said anything about the end of the world...that was our own trusty media?
I am still working on surviving the holidays given the abundance of calories I am ingesting. Also working on surviving my choice of Christmas gifts I got for Lois. She wasn't too thrilled with the electric toothbrush I got her.
She wasn't even happy that I hired a maid to clean up the mess.
And they got me something..as always..
Anyways...As far as the holidays go, I have been eating way too much...and way to much nasty stuff. So I have been trying to ride as much as possible to offset the calorie intake...lest I look like this.
I have actually been getting in some very good bike rides. The conditions have been perfect ...cold enough to get frozen trails for mountain biking...yet warm enough to allow road rides. I have been able to hit the trails with Rod, and on a couple of BicycleWorks group rides. All of which are properly challenging and great workouts and calorie burns. Especially on our local trails, which are some of the most challenging trails around.
Rich has not been getting out as often as he used to...and is a little out of shape. So he would end up dropping back, and we would stop to wait. However, it was cold (it is December after all), and stopping when sweating is damn chilling...so eventually when he dropped off far enough instead of stopping, we would just slow to let him catch back on. However, at one point we looked back and there was no Rich...we slowed...still no Rich; we stopped...waited...no Rich. We assumed he made a wrong turn at the last intersection...so we did a 15 km loop in the direction we assumed he went...but did not run into him. Well there were only two more options that he could have taken from where we were (unless he had packed it in and went home), so we decided to split up and take one of the routes each...and meet back at the Kilbride General Store where we had last seen him. So went our Quest for Rich...Fig went East...I went west.
She hadn't seen Rich...she was on a quest of her own. (In case you are wondering this is rather obscure reference to an 80's movie...yes I am old...I will leave you to determine which movie).
Ran into this cool little dude...but he hadn't seen Rich.
I guess we just have different preferences. While we argued about it Fig got a text message. It was Rich; he HAD bailed and went home. Oh brother. After all the extra kilometres searching for Rich we had had a thorough ride and headed back ourselves.
As for other rides for the rest of this week, there is a Holiday ride planned for tomorrow, and there is Riot's Birthday ride planned for Sunday...but the 27 feet of snow we got last night may put a dent in the plans. OK...27 feet may be exaggerating but it took me over an hour to shovel the driveway this morning!!
To watch the World Juniors and Spengler Cup hockey tournaments that are tradition for this time of year.
Mayans, Christmas, and Mountain Biking?
Thought I had better get a post in before the end of the world on the 21st.
Actually there are Mayans but you get the picture.
Anyways one thing we can't complain about is our December weather? It has been just cold enough to freeze the trails, or warm enough to road ride, and I have been fortunate enough to do both...and play some hockey.
Besides the weekly league games I was in a hockey tournament last weekend. Lois attended one game and took some pics. Yup...I am a goalie.
And we were fortunate enough to win the thing.
Anyways back to the biking thing. Got in a few mountain bike rides with Rod. In case you don't remember from a previous posting, Rod is a powerhouse.
This ain't Rod but you get the picture.
There are not Rod's quads, but you get the picture.
A regular ride for Rod is a workout ride for most guys. One of Rod's workout rides will destroy most guys...he likes to pick every hill possible...especially the nastiest ones...so it makes for a worthwhile ride when you aren't walking up a hill he just made look easy. No wasted time or effort on these rides! We've gone out in early mornings when it has just been cold enough at night to freeze the damp trails to catch the trails while they are still frozen and epic!
When it hasn't been cold enough to freeze I have been getting out on the road. Not many instances worthy of reporting. Other than, perhaps last Saturday; a road ride with Fig. It was dry, but cold...0 degrees Celsius and a small breeze from the North East. So we decided to go east and north so we could have the tail wind on the last half of the ride (planned for a 60 – 100 km ride). So off we went, and Fig himself picked some of the best sprint segments and then some of the longest, steepest hills around...so the first half of the ride was great...fast, and some god awful hills (Bell School Line hill, Sixth Line hill...and others that I think I blacked out on cuz I don't remember where they were) ... so it was making for an awesome workout. Then at about the 45 km mark we decided to head back. Fig was starting to cramp a little and whimper. Now, again, if you don't remember from a previous post, Fig is a young 30 something, fit, and one of the fastest cyclists I ride with. Rides with him are always a challenge worthy of testing my limits. But this time I was dropping him, and he was close to puking.
This isn't Fig but you get the picture.
I suggested we get to Moffat, and he could get something to eat...that may help. Moffat is the home of Dar's Delights...a little bake shop that makes some of the best buttertarts around.
So we get to Moffat and Fig scarfs down 4 buttertarts, and we head south for home. Well wouldn't you know it...the wind has shifted...and doubled in intensity...so we now are dealing with a very stiff, cold headwind. Fig is dropping...I am waiting...and trying to chide him into speeding up..."Ya ain't gonna let a fat old guy beat you are ya??". But it wasn't working...he was hurting. Then up the Cedar Springs Road to Brittania east climb...I got to the end of Brittania looked back and Fig was barely in sight. I waited, when he showed up I donated him the rest of my water, as he made every excuse possible (the cold, the wind, he was sick, last night's Christmas party...).
This isn't Fig either but he wishes it was.
OK...enough picking on Fig. It's just that I don't end up in front of him all that often...so gotta milk it when I do. Just hope he doesn't destroy me next ride. I'm sure this is what Fig is doing as he reads this.
End of the world? All because of this?
Guess I better get Christmas shopping after all. After some struggle getting it up from the basement, I did manage to get the tree up last week.
Just kidding...this is actually our tree corner.
And a gratuitous Rudolph pic.
Anyways here I go again. So off topic, and out of time, with so much more to share. Next time. And if that isn't before Christmas, I wish you and yours all the best.
Merry Christmas, Happy New years!!
Mountain Biking, Zen, and the New World?
I have now also drunk the Kool Aid (shoulda made it Captain Morgan Silver...that stuff is candy!!), and am tracking my activity on Strava...under the pseudonym 'Michael Tourond'. See the summary on the gadget on the sidebar here. Oh yeah, I am high tech.
Anyways, if you don't remember, a couple of posts back I mentioned that someone once questioned why I bother to race mountain bikes at my age, and at the risk of getting on my soap box I will address that. You might think it was a young kid asking, but no, it wasn't. Well I don't think this portly pontificator ever saw more than the couch view of any sporting event so I didn't really bother to get into it, cuz I knew he wouldn't get it. But I know both of you reading this will understand.
Anyways, I am wandering off topic again. So I hope that answered the question...and I hope you are not as confused as me. I apologize for the soapbox thing...this is a MTB blog, not a life lesson blog (RiotOnReality???).
Definite improvement. Actually in that MTB getup Jim kinda looks like the Knights that say Ni...doesn't he??
Actually, EnglishJim messaged me this week that registration is open for the Summer Solstice 24 Hour Mountain Bike Race (which will sell out fast), so hopefully NewfieSteve, who wants to be Captain, will get us registered soon!! The team is ready and waiting!! | c4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUeWzxK7IDPXIhnwCY | Together with the newest AR Trail function, operators will possess the capacity to tell the flight path over the monitor. Gesture Mode Drone pilots are now ready to easily possess a selfie without the requirement for an distant. The Phantom 4 drone has become easily the most forward-looking digicam quadcopter but. It's the complete exact same drone, however using a control which has an integrated touchscreen show. Now remember, based on where your property is, it truly is likely prohibited to fly your own drone beyond the point of sight, and naturally, we know some users are likely to try any way. We scoured the web to acquire all the rumors, leaks, and allegations which are enclosing the drone that's everyone in the border of their own seats. Among the popular rumors is that whenever the discharge date is still.
Many people might feel that it's a little large, and I'm convinced DJI will ensure it's only a bit bigger. DJI always rolls out updates to this bulk of its own goods, also we've got no motive to believe that the P4 Pro will undoubtedly be quite distinct. The DJI P4 incorporates push-to-release props. The improved ESCs are intended to be far efficient.
If you can pay it then you have to go for Phantom 4 Guru. If you're acquainted with the white Phantom 4 Guru, you are going to find the specs will be the same, and actually it's possible touse the white batteries and charger on the Obsidian version. DJI's Phantom has been our favourite model of drone for that previous few decades, however this latest version will not only keep the mantle whilst the most best unit you may purchase.
On the face of the drone, then you're see a memory-card slot wherever your micro-sd card will go. Make sure once you insert the card that you set it in upside down again. I trust you have the ideal advice. That is why its important to acquire an all-inclusive comparison of the several characteristics and specifications. The Plus model comprises an incorporated display on the handheld remote controller, differently, they truly are the specific same machine.
You've got a live feed by the drone most important camera in the screen of your mobile apparatus. Even the basics of the Phantom components retain the top quality of earlier editions with some smaller tweaks and improvements. It is not equipped with portability in your mind despite the fact that it's still modest enough to be more stuffed within a backpack if necessary.
Most RC Quad-copters are only capable to maintain in mid for several moments at an identical time. Spotlight, to the reverse side, also enables one to lock on a subject, but gives you the power to fly both the drone out at virtually any way round it. If you're around the watch for that ideal drone using camera with a mix of features, also it isn't difficult to fly, then the Phantom 4 is still among the most useful drones to purchase. Very unexpected maneuvers are able to create your video clip jerky or attract portions of the drone in to the picture which you don't need, but generally speaking, even in the event you fly pretty effortlessly, you're going to be given a precise steady video really. This is really a tricky maneuver, also for a seasoned pilot, and it might lead to footage that are amazing.
The battery is a little larger but otherwise identical. Apparently, this gadget is really a fantastic and proven approach to experience shooting aerial videography and photography. A sensor that is bigger is going to have significantly more dynamic selection, an improved signal-to-noise ratio, also improved lowlight performance. Let's talk a bit about the transmitter.
The DJI Phantom 4 Pro is the most high level drone so far. There are far more but I really don't require this video clip for long, so I Will set a connection in the description where you're able to locate more info. You will likely be readier to pick the fearless photo when you understand you are in full control. My target together with each thing review is always to provide you with a thorough review of the item features as they relate with real life utilization.
Controls are simple to use and fairly specific. You're Ready to place the controllers below the Home Line by Property Lock. Regardless of most its detectors and security capabilities, you can not know if you might require to take responsibility for the drone so as to prevent an collision. This mode enables users to solely concentrate in their own drones digital camera control for more complicated shots. Picking the perfect flight manner will allow it to be feasible for pilots to locate the particular control that they require.
And when it's travelling at top speed, it requires a lot more hours to be able for this to stop. Having the capability to steer clear of trees is especially significant while using the return-to-home function that summons back the drone again to you personally. The usage of two specific frequencies has more disadvantages seeing flight performance. Having said this, it isn't the item which you get your seven-year-old kid can hover readily. The refurbished products can be found the DJI Online Store as well as different on-line platforms for example e bay. Assortment is likewise rather somewhat better compared to original p 4. Operating range is extremely solid. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

Playwrights and Gatekeepers
I was hoping to have a workshop of a new play of mine this spring. Obviously, that's off. Even gathering a bunch of friends together for a reading at home is off (it would be anyway, my dog attacks anyone who comes through the gate.)
As a playwright, I know how important it is to hear the words I've written spoken aloud in a reading or workshop as I move through drafts. It's illuminating, revealing things about the play I didn't even know I were in there. And it's motivating. Plays are meant to be heard aloud - that's how they come to life, and how you know if there's life in what you've written.

DM REVIEW
Data Visualization:
Creative Visualization: Best in Show
Column published in DM Review Magazine
By Stephen Few
This is the final column in a series that features the winners of DM Review's 2005 data visualization competition. In the fourth and final event of the competition, participants were given the opportunity to showcase their data visualization skills and imaginations without restriction to a prescribed set of instructions. Here are the only instructions they were given:
This scenario is not prescribed. You may present any real-world data and message that can be addressed through a data visualization. It may be a graph, a dashboard, or any other visual presentation of quantitative data. This is your opportunity to showcase a data visualization of which you are particularly proud.
I was especially excited about this part of the competition because it would invite innovative approaches to the visual presentation of data. I wasn't disappointed. In fact, a few of the submissions expressed imagination that ventured well beyond the bounds of effectiveness.
The winning solution was submitted by Jock Mackinlay of Tableau Software, who also took the prize for scenario number one and for the competition overall. Given his pedigree, it's no surprise that Jock's entries did well. Jock has a Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford, where he began his research in the field of information visualization many years ago, before joining the user interface research group team at Xerox PARC. He worked there from 1986 until recently when he became the director of interface design at Tableau Software. Jock was also one of the three authors, along with Stuart Card and Ben Shneiderman, who wrote the best overview to date of research in the field of information visualization, entitled Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to Think (1999).
The data visualization that Jock created using Tableau's software was designed to help a video game company analyze its competitors' advertising strategies. Before reading the following description, take a minute to examine the solution in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Winning Data Visualization Created by Tableau Software to Analyze the Advertising Strategies of Video Game Companies
Here's Jock's description: What are the advertising strategies of my competitors? A company required a competitive analysis comparing the weekend TV advertising strategies of different companies in the video game industry. The companies have similar overall strategies with more ads running Sunday evening than Saturday evening. However, EA Sports stands out as having an unusual advertising strategy: running a lot of low cost, 15-second cable TV spots throughout the weekend with several high cost, 30-second network TV spots Sunday afternoon. The motivation was immediately clear: live Sunday sports broadcasts are an ideal advertising venue for sports video games.
This analysis involves the simultaneous visualization of five variables: 1) video game brand, 2) time the ad ran, 3) ad length (15, 30 or 60 seconds), 4) type of television broadcast (network, cable or satellite) and 5) ad cost ($0 to $200,000). Each of these variables was encoded in a different manner, consisting of the following visual attributes: 1) vertical 2-D location, 2) horizontal 2-D location, 3) symbol shape, 4) color and 5) symbol size. The size of an object usually doesn't display quantitative values effectively because it is difficult to compare their 2-D areas to one another with any degree of accuracy. However, in this case, precise comparisons of ad costs weren't necessary, only a rough sense of relative size. Visualized in this way, the insight that Jock reports in his description jumps out quite clearly. You don't have to be a genius or have a degree in statistics to make sense of this visualization. Despite the concurrent presentation of five variables, this solution is simple and clear - it communicates! Chances are you would have difficulty visualizing multivariate data in this way unless you have Tableau's software. Only a few commercial products today incorporate useful visualization functionality like this. Most vendors are too busy trying to get the needles on their dashboard gauges to bounce around when the values change. (Apologies to my colleagues in the BI industry who have proudly shown me this feature in their software.)
I get very excited whenever I'm shown true innovations in the field of data visualization. Much of my time is spent teaching people the fundamental skills of graph design because so many of those who routinely communicate quantitative business information require help at this level. It is always refreshing to see effective new approaches to data visualization for communication and analysis, but too many of these efforts are misguided and simply don't work. The biggest problem today involves attempts to make data visualizations look impressive, pretty and photo-realistic in apparent imitation of the video game industry. Jock's solution analyzed data related to the video game industry, but he knew better than to do so using visuals designed to look like a video game.
I appreciate everyone who spent the time required to participate in the data visualization competition and don't wish to show disrespect for anyone's efforts. However, it is useful to include examples that illustrate what can happen when creativity is misapplied. The map-based visualization in Figure 2 displays the annual amount of snowfall at several ski resorts in Idaho. It is beautifully rendered. However, the eye-catching imagery distracts from the actual data, and the use of green circles, blue squares, and black diamonds to encode the amount of snowfall is not intuitive. The designer of this display did not focus on the goal of communication.
Figure 2: The Image on this Map Distracts from the Snowfall Data
The image that you see in Figure 3 is a snapshot from an interactive 3-D virtual environment that you can roam through in the form of an avatar to view a collection of interactive graphs. Virtual environments that simulate physical space can be effectively used when the experience of that environment is critical to the information that you're exploring or the skills you're trying to learn. Flight simulators are a great example. Navigating through a physical world of sales figures, however, adds no value.
Figure 3: This Solution Misapplies a Virtual Reality Environment to the Communication of Numbers
As long as business intelligence software vendors continue to market flash and dazzle and spend their time adding features that are seldom useful rather than developing software that works seamlessly as an extension of human perception and intelligence, most BI users will continue to waste much of their time on window dressing rather than squeezing valuable insights out of their data. Most - but not all. You can choose to be an exception.

ATPA represents the interests and goals of New York's premier proprietary agencies and through ATPA you have a formidable voice in every critical area that is vital to our success as business leaders.
Last month ATPA celebrated a victory in the passing of historical legislation directly impacting your ability to do business in New York.

Because ATPA is NY's only association for proprietary providers, OASAS and NYSDOH, as well as the State's legislative leadership, continually request us to be part of their key work groups. This allows us to directly influence new regulations, policy and the overall understanding of the field of proprietary providers. Surely you want to be part of this effort.
On the heels of our recent victory, and considering the quickening pace of our field's evolution, there is no better time to be part of ATPA. The more members, the greater our impact – we strongly urge you to become involved with ATPA as we create our 2014-2015 legislative and budgetary agenda.

BkiUdQo4dbgg4JMhnX46 | Blues musician Jonny Lang had a record contract before he was old enough to drive. Now 25, he has five albums and years of performing experience under his belt. He has been nominated for a Grammy, performed for a president, and toured with the likes of B.B. King, Sting and the Rolling Stones.
Yet these days the young celebrity is more interested in faith than fame. His latest album, Turn Around, is a musical tribute to his spiritual journey. Lang recently talked with Staff Writer Christina Quick about how a relationship with Christ altered his perceptions of life and success.
tpe: What were the challenges of achieving success at such an early age?
LANG: Starting out young in a band, there were a lot of venues we would play where you could only get in if you were 21. Stuff from that environment rubbed off on me. I started smoking when I was 12. I became an alcoholic and a drug addict in my teens.
tpe: When did you realize something was missing in your life?
LANG: I always felt it. When IÕd go to bed at night and when IÕd wake up in the morning, I realized something was missing. When you feel something is missing but you donÕt know what, itÕs horrible. Somewhere in my heart, even during my most jaded times, I knew about Jesus.
tpe: How did you make the leap from having a vague knowledge of Christ to experiencing a relationship with Him?
LANG: God sort of chiseled away at me over the years. The main event took place when I was 18 or 19 and dating my wife. Her father, Cliff, was dying of hepatitis C and had cancer. I had grown really close to him.
There was a break in our tour schedule so I was able to go and visit them. One night as he was being taken care of, I went to leave their house to go smoke pot with a friend. Before we had a chance to get high, the phone rang. Cliff had just died. As I headed back to their place, something sort of hit me in the chest, and I felt total peace. All through that night as I was grieving with the family, I felt this strength I had never felt before. It was so different and so powerful.
Later, as we were sitting in the backyard, I felt that same feeling and all of a sudden I just said, ÒJesus!Ó right in the middle of the conversation. When I said His name I began shaking. When it was done, I knew IÕd had a personal encounter with Him.
I was both ecstatic and horrified. I was confronted with how IÕd lived my life. I knew Jesus was the true, living God, and IÕd denied Him all those years. It grieved me. I fell down on the ground and gave my life to Him right there. He totally, instantly delivered me of my addictions. I had no taste for those things anymore.
tpe: What else changed in your life?
LANG: IÕm not the person I was. I lost a majority of my friends because our friendships were based on partying. I had to let go of everything.
I used to play music for myself. It was the only thing that fulfilled my life. Music was sort of my god. Now I understand music is a gift God has given me. IÕm trying to be a good steward of that gift.
True success is serving God successfully, nothing else. If I can be obedient in the things He asks me to do, I think IÕve been successful. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdc84ubng2gXILc9f | The KSU elections campaign showcased the lack of transparency and accountability. Is it any wonder that the politicians of tomorrow will not uphold these principles once they are entrusted with the public funds?
Time and again, with others or on my own, I argued that the case against corrupt politicians cannot be limited to the misdeeds of this or that individual (though, obviously, these are important and justice should be meted in relation to such cases), but that there are structural features relating to the economy, to the dominant culture which the institutions that mould public opinion buttress, and to political praxis that sustains such bad practices.
These relations have created a society where success (measured in economic and/or public appeal terms) is the ultimate benchmark of value, where form is more important than substance, where ideology is often neglected in favour of 'pragmatism'. Debates concerning the type of economy, the social cost of privatisation and/or social classes are now considered passé. Meritocracy, employability and efficiency are treated as self-evident virtues. The individual is supreme, the public is simply the arena for displaying individual success, and the 'common good' is a non-existent or merely accorded lip-service. The ethos of such a society will obviously make it morally less difficult for one to take a kick-back or to sneak away from paying taxes if the opportunity presents itself.
Debates concerning the type of economy, the social cost of privatisation and/or social classes are now considered passé.
It is important, for those who are milking the benefits of this situation, that this ethos is not merely kept in place, but is perpetuated by the coming generations. It is imperative to catch them young. An occasion to witness this in blatant and grandiose terms were the recent KSU elections. The features of the organised student-political activism, be it of Christian Democratic or Social Democratic kind, is not only devoid of challenges to the status quo, but is set to reinforce it.
This year's KSU campaign has been pharaonic. Both Pulse and SDM have deployed electoral material which parallels (parallels, not imitates on a smaller scale) that of the major local political parties.
The campaign material at the Univeristy of Malta's main campus (other material was on show elsewhere, like the Medical School and Junior College) involved meters of canvas displayed on metal structures covering the path from the old main gate to almost the entire quadrangle, illuminated by a top-notch lighting system: a set up that must have cost thousands of Euro (not to mention the printed material and the freebies). Compare this to a campaign for increasing the minimum wage, in which I was involved a year ago. We wouldn't even dream of using a tenth of the resources Pulse and SDM pulled, even though the campaign was led by a number of organisations.
From the little I know about parish festas, even organisations involved in them would find it hard to finance the type of advertisement Pulse and SDM produced, despite the fact that parishes are long-established communities with fund-raising events all year long. Do the student organisations receive funding from the two major political parties?
No account was published by either organisation regarding the costs involved in their campaigns and how they managed to foot the bill.
Up to now, no account was published by either organisation regarding the costs involved in their campaigns and how they managed to foot the bill. It can hardly be the case that such an extravagant campaign was financed by student activities like live-ins, BBQs and discos. Nor is the easy explanation informally given by individual members of 'generous sponsors' quite credible. How much would a sponsor donate to a student organisation which claims to be autonomous from other institutions? And, if the amount is conspicuous, why?
Unfortunately, with the exception of Benjamin Dalli and possibly some other Lone Ranger, the heart-on-sleeve crusaders for transparency have failed to ask SDM and Pulse the obvious and required questions. I would have expected Awturi, given that it is based at University, to be more vociferous. Neither does the University of Malta as an institution seem to demand from organisations that run for KSU accounts of their expenses and funding.
Is it any wonder that these politicians of tomorrow will not cherish transparency and accountability once they will be entrusted with the public funds?
Is it any wonder, then, that these politicians of tomorrow will not cherish transparency and accountability once they will be entrusted with the public funds? Or will they use "transparency" and "accountability" simply as a stick to beat up their opponents, but not consider it a value one should genuinely uphold?
The other feature which stood out in this KSU electoral campaign concerned inclusion. It should be a laudable value, requiring deep discernment as to what it implies in particular contexts and the audacity to face the challenges it raises. Yet, 'inclusion' is often reduced to a trendy buzzword in mainstream politics and media. Only lip-service is paid to this ideal and inclusion-related activities turn out to be PR exercises aimed at catching the attention or, in the case of political parties, the vote of this or that group.
The recent KSU election campaign did not challenge such caricatures of inclusion, but trained these politicians of tomorrow in how to use inclusive language without embracing the virtue. The manifestos and some of the aspects of the campaign used LGBTIQ-friendly language, which in itself is praiseworthy. Yet, other forms of inclusion were noticeable by their absence.
Some faculties were over represented (law- and finance-related degrees), and others scarcely or not represented at all.
Candidates included only nondisabled, white, young students with Maltese names. The many students who do not fit this category, for some reason or other, were conspicuous by their absence. Also, some faculties were over represented (law- and finance-related degrees), and others scarcely or not represented at all. Doesn't this selection of candidates speak volumes of whom the student organisations consider suitable to be the leaders and decision-makers?
Moreover, something that was noted by a number of friends of mine and which I myself could attest to is that, in the distribution of the many freebies (which, in the culinary variety, one could find waffles, doughnuts, ice-creams, mini-burgers, bottles of water and other food-stuff—good training in light of the hampers they will distribute when they grow older), people who looked older than mid-30s were excluded from this generosity.
Inspiration for the KSU campaign's freebies: hampers distributed during the general elections in 2017. Photo by Malta Independent.
If this impression is correct, the exclusive treatment was based on the assumption that older-looking individuals were not students, but employees/visitors/parents (a false assumption in a number of cases), and hence not worthy of wasting a freebie on. Thus, distribution of waffles was meant to translate into votes—a callous calculation by people in their later teens/early twenties.
Finally, Pulse and SDM drilled their members and the student electors in general into accepting another feature of elections and mainstream politics in Malta and beyond—the non-issues.
There was no sign of attempting to promote social justice and democracy on campus.
Clearly, these organisations believe that politics is not about challenging the educational-economic system, of which the university is a part. There was no sign of attempting to promote social justice and democracy on campus, to discuss what these values demand in practice in the context of a university.
Pulse and SDM campaigns were about non-issues like having a mini-van driving you to campus, even if you live within a walking distance! Given the features that the leaders of tomorrow showcased in their campaign, those who truly cherish democracy, transparency, honesty and justice should be hearing alarm bells.

BUA, Axens 200,000bpd refinery project gets underway
Gbemi Faminu Apr 19, 2021
BUA Group and Axens, a France-based petroleum technology company, has confirmed progress in the construction of BUA's 200,000 barrels per day (BPD) refinery and petrochemical plant in Akwa Ibom state. This is coming six months after both firms signed an agreement for the supply of process technologies and the design of the facility.
In affirming progress of the project, the duo also reviewed and signed a statement of acknowledgement in order to further improve the construction operations.
BUA disclosed this in a public statement, where it stated that Emmanuel Macron, French President, commended the Chairman of BUA Group, Abdul Samad Rabiu for his commitment to developing lasting relationships between French and Nigerian businesses and for his efforts in making the Nigerian economy resilient.
Macron who was represented by Franck Riester, French Minister for Foreign Trade and Economic Attractiveness, said that the French Government is ready to support people-oriented and developmental projects in Nigeria.
"We think that we have to support long term investment of French companies in Nigeria and Nigeria companies in France and this project of refinery is a wonderful project for Nigeria," Macron said.
The French minister who paid a visit to the BUA Group headquarters in Lagos also handed over a personal invitation from Macron to Rabiu to attend the Choose France Summit in June in Paris representing business leaders from Nigeria and Africa.
Rabiu in his remarks commended the efforts of the French president and minister in fostering business relationships between BUA and other French businesses, while expressing confidence in the quality of expertise and technical know-how of the French companies BUA has partnered with.
He said that when the BUA refinery is commissioned and fully operational, the cost of transporting crude oil offshore, refining it and importing it will reduce. He added that the choice location for the refinery was strategic due to the huge availability of raw materials and its proximity to export petroleum products to other countries.
Jean Sentenac, President, Axens said that the project is progressing as scheduled which is a good development for both parties. He reiterated that Axens is committed to delivering the project promptly with excellent standards
BUA also announced that its group chairman Abdul Samad Rabiu was appointed chairman of the France-Nigeria Investment Club.

Associate Data Scientist
Bird migration is a sustained subject for scientific scrutiny and fascination. This behavior befuddled humans for centuries until scientists linked patterns in flight and global climate changes with avian ecology. Now, we can pinpoint where, when and why certain bird populations migrate. Flamingos, for example, flock by the millions to India from November until May to take advantage of the tropical climate. Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Mumbai alone hosts 251 different species of migratory, land and water birds. The park's rich biodiversity attracts more than two million visitors annually, including local photographers like Ameya Patankar.
"It's amazing to see such variety in such large quantities in one place," Ameya says. The park is one of his favorite places to shoot. Apart from the flamboyance of flamingos, it is home to over 1,000 different plant species. Ameya has been photographing flora and fauna since he was fifteen. It requires a good eye, or the ability to recognize a series of combining factors – such as lighting, color and frame – to create a composition that is visually appealing and tells a story.
Ameya's eye extends beyond just the lens of his camera. "Numbers have always come naturally to me," he notes. Like his father, he pursued a degree in organic chemistry, achieving a bachelor's in Chemical Engineering from the Institute of Chemical Technology in Mumbai. Through his studies, however, Ameya realized he craved a career with more fluidity than organic chemistry allowed, where most time would be spent in a lab. Then, a program at Northeastern University caught his eye. Captured by the array of possibilities that a career in data analytics offered, Ameya journeyed to Boston and obtained his master's in Industrial Engineering.
Data Scientists evaluate and recognize patterns and trends within numbers. They then take a snapshot of this information and portray it in a way that conveys meaning, or tells a story. Sound familiar? Information cultivated from data science can give insight into business trends and help identify new opportunities. "Overall it's about improving the user experience," says Ameya. Here at Laddawn he does just that, harnessing data to inform smarter decision making that increases efficiency and ultimately leads to happier customers.
Flamingos do not migrate to Boston. Still, Ameya enjoys photographing the diverse beauty New England has to offer. From burgeoning spring blossoms and fall foliage to the snowy peaks of Northern Appalachia, he continues to capture stories through his calculating lens, including our own. Picture that. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdO04uzlhfiRYFBTK | Devin Willock and staff member Chandler Leroy Death : Car Accident kills Georgia Bulldogs player, worker
Devin Willock, an offensive lineman, and Chandler LeCroy, a staff member, according to the University of Georgia officials, both died in a car accident early on Sunday morning in Athens, Georgia.
The University of Georgia football team had just had a parade to celebrate winning the national championship when the crash happened.
The University of Georgia expressed sorrow on the tragic deaths of football student-athlete Devin Willock and football staff member Chandler LeCroy in a statement issued on Sunday. "Devin and Chandler were exceptional people who meant a lot to the University of Georgia, our football program, and our athletic department.
Recently, both of them passed away. We kindly ask that everyone remember their families in their prayers and thoughts at this incredibly trying time.
Two more football team members were hurt as a result of the incident, according to the school. Right now, they are both in a steady state.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart acknowledged the death of athletes Devin Willock and Chandler LeCroy in a statement issued on Sunday.
We are all horrified and heartbroken, Smart declared. Devin was a remarkable young man in every way, and he always had a smile on his face.
It was a pleasure to coach him because he was a fantastic teammate. Chandler was an essential member of our football squad because he brought a great attitude and lots of passion to our team every single day.
We offer our condolences to their families during this trying time and pledge to do everything we can to support them.
According to the police, the incident happened around 2:45 in the morning in the 900 block of Barnett Shoals Road.
According to the officials, the 2021 Ford Expedition was traveling south when it went off the path and struck two power lines and numerous trees.
Willock, a 20-year-old man, was declared dead on the spot.
LeCroy, a 24-year-old man, was injured, and the Athens police department said he was taken to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries and died.
A male passenger, age 21, who suffered minor injuries, and a female passenger, age 26, who suffered severe injuries, were both involved in the accident, according to the authorities.
The university said in a statement that the "UGA Athletic Association will work with our medical team as well as our mental health and performance experts to ensure that we are offering our staff and student-athletes who are processing this tragedy the finest assistance available." We are unable to add any more commentary at this time.
Police say the investigation is still ongoing. Anyone with information about the collision is asked to

BkiUalrxK5YsWV5L1kVC | By getting the proper education and applying for a job, our unemployment has a good chance of decreasing a fair amount.
Unemployment is a big issue since some people seem to think that they can stay unemployed and on welfare for their whole life and get a fair amount of money from our government. "Permanent unemployment is BAD. It's bad for people, it's bad for business and industry, it's bad for productivity and therefor prosperity" (Sartorius, unemployment 4-5). Some citizens believe that even though the current unemployment rate is only about five percent, that still is not that good considering how many people that there are in the United States of America. That is still over five million citizens remaining unemployed (Sartorius, unemployment 4-5). The unemployment rate for August in the United States was "5.1 percent, down three tenths of a piont since the prior month" (Griffin 1). Some researchers have found links between unemployment, poor mental health and poor general health possession. Other studies have shown that the informal support systems, like friends and relatives, can help absorb shock against the negative effects of unemployment (Unemployed 1).
The latest unemployment rate for August '96 shows that 4.3 percent of Vermont's citizens are unemployed. That is about fourteen thousand people in just this one small state (Griffin 1). Think of how many people are unemployed in the entire United States. That would be over five million people. If people wanted to get out and get a job, they probobly could pretty easily. Instead of waiting for theirchecks from the government,they could get a job and bring home more money than the government sends considering that they have the proper education. One way to decrease unemployment would be to get the proper education to be successful in the job industry.
For my solution to the problem, I can launch a page on the internet to let peeople know that they should try their best to achieve a well paying job. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUeIE4dbghYS8bBGfk | Covid: No Last Goodbyes in India
April 23, 2021 April 27, 2021 / Ullekh NP
These days, as people run out of breath while scrambling for oxygen cylinders and hospital beds with ventilators to save their acutely Covid-19-infected kin and friends in panic and dread, Neha Alawadhi routinely tweets and retweets online appeals for help that attract her attention. I am always ready to help, she says. Alawadhi is in the process of seeking what she describes as "closure" for the demise of her father who died of Covid 13 days before she gave birth to a baby girl last July and months short of his 50th wedding anniversary.
Her father, a former employee at the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC), died at the Covid ICU of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi last June, and Alawadhi, his youngest child, regrets that the family hardly had the time to fully mourn him for a raft of reasons. First, she was in her tense pregnancy when he expired, and she could not see his face one last time because of Covid protocols. His body, including the face, was completely wrapped in a leak-proof white body bag decontaminated with hypochlorite solution—a name tag was the sole identification mark—before being dispatched along with myriad other bodies to a designated electric crematorium for coronavirus victims at Shalimar Bagh in north Delhi. And so, nobody could take a photo of him on his deathbed.
Exigencies of Alawadhi expecting a child demanded that the rest of the family stay undemonstrative. Two months after he was gone, when a prayer event was held at her parents' home in Sheikh Sarai, her mother instructed everyone else—her brother, who is 14 years older and a father figure to her, and close relatives—to treat the occasion as one of joy for a new birth in the family, not of the sorrow of a sudden and unfortunate loss. The mother was also admitted to AIIMS when the father was in the ICU, but could not see him even once. Regardless, the 75-year-old put on a brave face.
"Our time to mourn him has passed," Alawadhi says with a whiff of regret. She says she often tells her family how she feels about it. What upsets her is that she and other members of the family had no idea of how his life was in the ICU. It must have been very lonely for him, she surmises. On earlier occasions, whenever he faced health problems, he had the family to fall back on for emotional support. Despite a history of medical issues, he always had a sunny disposition and was jovial, the daughter, who is a techie-turned-journalist, recalls. "His life in the ICU is a mystery to us," she rues, emphasising that there is no dignity in a Covid death. Rabindra Nath Alawadhi, who got into a partnership business after retirement, was 78, but his death came out of the blue.
The second wave of Covid has made India one of the worst affected countries in the world in terms of daily infections, which have witnessed an exponential jump over the past few weeks. The nation, as a consequence, is hit by a wave of grief and loss, dashing earlier hopes of this year being less harsh on people after an unforgettable year of distress and chaos worldwide. The demand for oxygen has spiked this time round on account of more Covid patients suffering from shortness of breath and breathlessness than last year thanks to their exposure to new variants of the mutated virus. The health infrastructure is coming under tremendous stress—and to the brink of collapse in some states—and the contagion is expected to hobble normal life for much longer than anticipated, leaving in its wake more pain and hardship.
Although older people like Alawadhi's father are expected to bear the brunt of this phase of the scourge as well, official data show a pronounced rise in infections among the younger lot: 5.8 per cent of those infected this time are in the age group of 0-19 as opposed to 4.2 per cent last year, while Covid cases among those aged between 20 and 39 have soared this time. Some of the variants of the virus are known to spread faster and it is suspected that existing vaccines are ineffective in fighting them. Recently, a four-day-old baby, whose mother had contracted the disease, tested positive for Covid-19, and later died at Surat in Gujarat. Reported shortage of vaccines and vaccine hesitancy are adding to the woes as people are reeling under the pandemic that has forced them into long queues even to cremate the dead.
The only thing certain amid all the uncertainty is that nobody is safe until everybody is safe.

Mumbai-based Pushpalatha Bhaskaran says she learnt it the hard way: that until it happens to a blood relative or a closest friend, one feels that Covid deaths happen only to others. This 74-year-old resident of Dombivli near Mumbai recently lost her 52-year-old healthy son to Covid. The second son, 48, based in Bengaluru, is in hospital after testing positive for the virus and is not yet out of danger. Her Navi Mumbai-based son-in-law is also in hospital infected with Covid.
Before her son passed away in early April, she had an inkling of a bad omen that her oldest son, estranged from her, was in trouble, she says. "The next morning, I called up one of his friends I always call to hear about him. And that person told me that my son was hospitalised after he developed some complications related to Covid-19. I got no further news for some more days. Then my daughter-in-law called my daughter to confirm his death. Because of Covid, I could not go and see him one last time or visit his family," she notes. She affirms that she used to tell her daughter that she hoped the whole family would come together at her cremation. "And then this happened," she says on the phone. Her son was an Indian Railways employee. "Now I am worried for other younger people in the family. The tension is very high and I sleep very late at night. Over the past week, I lost more than 2 kg," says she, adding that staying alone in her home has never been more traumatic. She visits her daughter occasionally but hasn't travelled to meet her younger son in Bengaluru in more than seven months now.
"I used to be very close to my son and family, but somehow they decided to snap ties with me over time. I have no clue what happened. There has not been much communication after my attempts to get in touch with my son some years ago failed," she says. She lost her husband, an officer with the Indian Railways, in 1998. Life throws up its challenges, but these days it is more than what one expects to take on, Bhaskaran, a homemaker, says. She keeps herself occupied so as not to feel any loneliness and stays in touch with her friends on the phone, but the prolonged state of anxiety and the recent bereavement and fears about other relatives are damaging in an insidious way. "I have faced many tough moments in my life, but this one looks like the toughest yet. This is like slow poisoning," she laments. Relatives and even patients are invariably worried not only about themselves but also about the next of kin and friends who may also have contracted the viral disease and are battling for life.

Mental fatigue and burnout that accompany the loss of near and dear ones are compounded by estrangement as well as distance.
For Vikram Chopra, it is his inability to leave Mauritius to meet his dying mother in Gurugram that he expects to haunt him forever.
His mother Anu had a cold in September 2020 and later tested positive along with her husband for Covid. While the latter got well, the 70-year-old homemaker began to complain of shortness of breath and had to be admitted to a multi-specialty hospital. As is the case with Covid patients, family and friends could not pay her a visit. In such isolation, things began to get worse for Chopra's mother: she suffered brain damage, doctors told the family. Finally, she went on to stay confined to the ICU for a month before she passed away. "I was bitterly disappointed that I could not be there," says Chopra who cannot leave the island nation due to a decades-long, ongoing legal dispute with an influential India-born business family whose pater familias is now in trouble and whose bank accounts have been frozen and companies blacklisted in the UAE. Chopra, a fund manager, won the case—a dispute over a real-estate fund—a few months after his mother's death in the Supreme Court of Mauritius. He remembers his parents coming over to meet him in Mauritius last year. "Had it not been for the support of my parents, I would not have been able to fight on," says Chopra. What he inherited from his late mother is a die-hard optimism in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, Chopra feels. But the ache of not having been able to be there when his mother lay ill before she breathed her last, he says, is not going to go away anytime soon.
In Chennai, a well-known social activist, who says she lost 12 members of her family and close friends to Covid in a short time, seeks solace in silence. She is busy working to save the lives of Covid-infected people, and hopes to tide over the sorrow by dealing with those losses in private, and not by talking publicly about them
From across the country, just as it is the case the world over, there is no shortage of tales of heart-rending personal tragedies. For instance, in Chennai, a well-known social activist, who says she lost 12 members of her family and close friends to Covid in a short time, seeks solace in silence. She is busy working to save the lives of Covid-infected people, and hopes to tide over the sorrow by dealing with those losses in private, and not by talking publicly about them.
But the race to cope runs both ways.
Varanasi-based politician and businessman Gaurav Kapoor feels that such stories need to be told so that we do not forget the systemic flaws in our healthcare system and governance that need to be identified and corrected. As someone who gets numerous calls every day from even strangers to help with oxygen beds and Covid medicines, Kapoor is aware of the challenges ordinary folks face in availing of Covid treatment in the city.
Kapoor got to experience for himself what until then happened in the lives of others in mid-April when, within 72 hours, he lost three of his closest relatives to the disease. It is not that he hadn't felt empathy for others earlier, but then, as always, death in the family leaves far more excruciating effects because of the memories you have with the departed, he reasons. He calls what is happening around him a "human tragedy of mammoth proportions". His tauji Mohan Lal Kapoor (father's older brother) died first, taiji Nirmal (wife of another brother of his father) and then badi taiji Meena (wife of Mohan Lal Kapoor) died within 72 hours of each other, the last death occurring on April 17th. It was as infernal as things could get, with sudden deaths leaving a vacuum and bringing to the fore the extremely precarious nature of life in these times, he notes. As a social worker, he is used to frequent calls these days from people asking him to help arrange for remdesivir vials and oxygen cylinders and ICU beds and he often obliges them by calling up friends.
The chain of events started with a call from his cousin who lives in Pune, the son of Mohan Lal Kapoor who is a resident of Varanasi, requesting him to check on his (the cousin's) dad. When the young Kapoor called up his paternal uncle's home, he had already gone to sleep after taking some medicines for high fever and other symptoms. But calls kept coming hours later, and as it happened, the uncle had to be shifted to a hospital. He managed an oxygen bed in an ESI near the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Hospital in the city, one of the oldest living urban centres in the world, which is considered the holiest of holy cities by Hindus. The next thing the 43-year-old Kapoor heard from the medical facility was that his uncle was gone. "And then it was all about getting him cremated and there were long queues there as well," recalls Kapoor, who keeps tweeting about long queues at Manikarnika Ghat and Harishchandra Ghat where bodies are cremated along the edge of the Ganga.
Notwithstanding the penetrating agony and the struggle to cope with the losses—as is the case with the fury of pandemics historically—the signs of torment tend to disappear from the faces of survivors now, only to go deeper and deeper
"My uncle and aunts were all healthy and fit adults, and had hardly stepped out of their home ever since Covid-19 struck. I am still confused about how they contracted the disease because they all maintained social distancing and wore masks whenever they had to step out of their home to buy vegetables and so on," points out Kapoor, who is deeply distraught especially by the death of the younger taiji, Nirmal, whom he had been close to. "I am deeply shaken by these losses," says Kapoor who avers that he tells everyone who contacts him to take care.
"Be very wary, stay indoors and wear double masks when you step out," a former colleague from Ahmedabad, who very recently lost her sister-in-law to Covid for want of an oxygen bed, warned me after accepting my condolences.
Notwithstanding the penetrating agony and the struggle to cope with the losses—as is the case with the fury of pandemics historically—death seems to have lost its sting as the signs of torment tend to disappear from the faces of survivors only to go deeper and deeper.
And just as we hoped the worst of immeasurable tragedies was over, it is as if the portents of doom have resurfaced for all to see: the worst is yet to come. A Delhi-based senior physician sums up the size of the grief he confronts every day, "I have always thought of my community being some sort of psychopaths in the sense that we treat deaths as mere deaths. But this is too much even for us. This is beyond what anyone could have ever imagined."

BkiUbpY25V5hc_Oxwljs | Another inspiring piece from Lior Arussy ("Self-Service Is Just Less-Than-Full Service," Customer Centricity, October 2008, http://snurl.com/1008arussy). From my perspective, the right answer is a bit more gray than it is black and white.
First, customers should be provided with functionality that meets their expectations. Sometimes I prefer self-service and get annoyed when I get "please call" or "please email." Other times, I want live chat or to make that call. It depends—but the decision should be mine.
Second, the brand should deliver nothing short of what it promises. It's not enough to say, "We're high-end" or "We're customer-focused." The brand has to walk the walk. The customer expects what we all expect—to get what we pay for. (Ideally, a little more.) It's not a question of self-service versus full, but simply of customer expectations and value.
The hospitality industry is actually the model for all others to follow: They don't have customers, they have guests. In fact, it doesn't matter what you're selling, if your brand looks at everyone as guests—and treats them as such. Bottom line: Good service—self- or otherwise—is when I'm not made to feel as if I made a mistake for wanting what I want (however unreasonable my request might seem).
So ask yourself, how does my company treat my guests?
[T]he article examines the flaws of widespread self-service—namely that customers see diminished values provided by companies and make more price-motivated decisions. Toward the end of the article, Lior Arussy...poses this question: "Do you think customers favor self-service over high-touch, high-quality service?" He says no.
But I'd like to argue that sometimes I do. For example, when I run out of milk at home and need to run to the store for a replacement gallon, do I wait in line to be served by an uninterested teenager or head to the self-service lane? Um, self-service lane, please. Or when I'm at a gas station to fill up the tank, do I swipe my credit card at the pump or run inside to carry out that transaction? It might sound a little lazy, but I'll pay at the pump.
I use ATMs. I use vending machines. Willingly. For me (and I venture to guess a few of you, too), it's all about convenience and simplicity. If the transaction is an easy one, I'll take self-service whenever it's offered, especially if it means I can get it done faster. But if it's a more difficult process, I'll gladly seek out some help.
Weigh in on the debate: think self-service is the end of the customer service world as we know it? Do you loathe it? Love it?
I have always admired Senior Editor Marshall Lager's writing style and the uniqueness of content in each edition of CRM magazine. The topic of "An On-Demand Assessment" (Pint of View, October 2008, http://snurl.com/1008pov) was very interesting and I wanted to share some of my thoughts based on real-world "walk-the-walk" experience. I am a CRM strategist and technology implementation professional having successfully implemented software-as-a-service (SaaS) and on-demand for Fortune 1000 companies.
You refer to "SaaS" as a cool delivery model, but to SaaS implementation professionals like me, it's more of a service that's simply enabled for subscribers. "On-demand" and "SaaS" are often used interchangeably (especially by sales folks, some vendors, and executives), but there is a clear difference between the two.
Let me draw an analogy here: On-demand is how you order pay-per-view movies through your cable or satellite provider—making "on demand" merely a delivery model here, not an example of SaaS. Where you place the order—either through your TV's user interface or through a computer—is the SaaS example, representing more of a service front-end or enabler.
Looking at the gory details, "on demand" commonly refers to the capability of preparing the infrastructure ahead of clients' needs. It includes designing a readily scalable architecture, redundant server support, and the ability to reassign server capacity based on the need of the hour. "SaaS," on the other hand, is a (typically Web-based) toolset that allows clients access and control over how much capacity they wish to subscribe to—which they can then modify from time to time. One could argue forever about the exact definition of a "delivery model," but in this context, SaaS is a mere front end while on-demand actually delivers to the client's needs.
Your point on needing service-level agreements for SaaS comes into play since individual client needs with regard to uptime can vary. The on-demand delivery model needs to support the uptime demand as the client uses SaaS to drive that demand ever higher.
You also made a great point on "premise" versus "premises." You lit the light bulb in me—I promise I'll use "on-premises" going forward.
Thank you for triggering some good thoughts through your Pint of View.

Roger survives 3-set thriller to face Nadal in Finals of Shanghai
October 14, 2017 -- Shanghai, China
After being taken out in the US Open by Juan Martin del Potro, Roger had a chance to beat the big hitting Argentine today in the semifinals of the Shanghai Rolex Masters. While Roger struggled to convert break points in the first set, he held on and waited for del Potro to make some errors to turn the match in his favor. After dropping the first set 6-3, the Swiss Maestro did not allow del Potro a break point for the rest of the match and won the final two sets 6-3, 6-3.
"Clearly getting the break and then holding, it's always key in tennis," he said. "I'm happy I was able to do it, especially with all the twists and turns and, blink at the wrong time, he might hold the game and then you don't know what's going to happen next."
This win takes Roger into his third final at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event. He won Shanghai in 2014. And he will face Rafael Nadal in the finals for the fourth time in 2017. Roger has beaten Rafa each time they have played this year including the finals of the Australian Open, the finals of Miami and the Round of 16 at the Indian Wells BNP Paribas Open.
Semifinals set in Shanghai
Roger solidified his semifinal appearance at the Shanghai Rolex Masters today as he battled against Richard Gasquet. The feisty Frenchman kept up and even broke early in the first set, but Roger buckled down to win the match 7-5, 6-4.
"I thought it was a really good match. Some big points, important shots at the right time for both guys sometimes to stay even, and we both created chances," he said. "I thought we were able to keep up the level from the beginning till the very end...I enjoyed it because it was slices and topspins and angles and power and finesse. I think the match had a bit of everything."
Roger sets up another clash against the big-hitting Argentine, Juan Martin del Potro. However, unfortunately during his match he fell and hurt his left wrist and went to the hospital to get an MRI.
"I hope for him that it's nothing serious. Of course it's on the wrist, as well, that he's had problems in the past, so this is where he's worried, rightfully so. For me, at the end of the day, nothing changes. I'm ready to come out here tomorrow and see the match like it's a revenge chance for the US Open, where it was tight and I couldn't win. So I see that more than his injury," Roger said. "But I hope for now that Juan Martin can recover and we can play a normal match."
Quarterfinals up next for Roger in Shanghai
Roger took another step forward in Shanghai today after defeating Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-4, 6-2. Looking to be in control the whole match, he only faced one break point. He advances to the Quarterfinals for the fourth time in six appearances and will face Richard Gasquet next.
"I felt good in the first match," he said. "So I felt, I think, the same. I think maybe the matchup was maybe a bit easier and I took my chances more. Had a better ratio of winning on the break points that I didn't quite have against Schwartzman. That's maybe the biggest difference of both matches, so I'm happy I was able to do better today on the break points."
Roger is currently ranked No. 2 in the Emirates ATP Rankings and is looking to gain his sixth title of the season.
Roger improves to 40-4 after 1st win in Shanghai
In his first match back since the US Open, Roger found himself facing a tough opponent in his first match this evening at the Shanghai Rolex Masters. Diego Schwartzman pushed the Swiss star as the fiesty Argentine clawed his way back from 2-5 to take the first set to a tiebreaker.
"I knew going in it was not going to be easy. He's had a great run in recent weeks and months. I really felt that he was confident. Shaking off misses, no problem. He was serving well. You could see he was taking the right decisions on his groundstrokes," Federer said.
The second set was a bit more routine for Roger as he settled in and broke early taking the 2nd set 6-4.
"I think getting the break early in the second set gave me the chance to try a few more things, play more relaxed, go for my shots more, and then I was able to bring it home, coming back from love/30 I think in the last game," Federer said. "So it was a good match for me. I'm actually very happy with my level."
Roger improves to 40-4 after this win. He will face Alexandr Dolgopolov in the next round.
RF rides the Metro in Shanghai
While most athletes are accustomed to being driven from the hotel to the courts and everywhere in between, Roger jumped on the metro yesterday in Shanghai. With the longest metro system in the world, Shanghai is incredibly proud of their public transportation system as it boats over 600kms of tracks. Over 10 million people ride the metro everyday in Shanghai and yesterday, the Swiss star was one of them.
"The Metro experience was a great one," he said. "I grew up on public transport when I was younger in Switzerland. I used to take either tram, train, or bus to practice on a daily basis, and then also a lot of the train until about 20 years old, going to tournaments even to Italy, even internationally. So for me it's something very normal."
Roger begins play at the Shanghai Rolex Masters today against Diego Schwartzman.

The 34th Annual Sports Day
The 34th Annual Sports Day was held on the 9th and 10th October at Aberdeen Sports Ground. All the events were completed successfully in fine, but windy, weather on the two days. In the opening ceremony, Principal Li addressed the students, teachers and guests and then introduced our Officiating Guest, Ms. Yeung Man-wai, Cecilia, professional high jump record holder of Hong Kong, who shared some words of inspiration with the students. She encouraged them to choose a career they liked as they would feel happier with their everyday work in future.
Following Ms. Yeung's inspiring words, the Sports Day was kicked off with a blowing of the horn by Principal Li after which students and teachers walked together round the track. Soon the tracks and field were left vacant with only the workers stationed at their posts in readiness for the athletes to compete to go faster, higher and farther. With the support of the spectators, Keung Pui In (F5C) proudly broke two school records in the Girls Senior 800m race and in the high jump.Yam Sai Kit (F5C), Lee Chun Hin (F4C) and Yuvraj-Singh (F1B) won the Boys A-Grade, B-Grade and C-Grade overall championships respectively. Keung Pui In (F5C) and Yiu Kit Ying (F3B) respectively won the Girls Senior and Junior Section overall championship. Paul House got the house championship.
This year, we were delighted to see 14 primary schools sending their teams for the boys and girls 4x100m Invitational Relay competitions. They were Aberdeen St. Peter's Catholic Primary School, Precious Blood Primary School (South Horizon), St. Charles School, St. Peter's Catholic Primary School, Precious Blood Primary School (Wah Fu), S.K.H. Tin Wan Chi Nam Primary School, S.K.H St. Matthew's Primary School, Yaumatei Catholic Primary School, Kwok Man School, Cheung Chau Sacred Heart School, San Wui Commercial Society School, Raimondi College Primary Section, King's College Old Boys' Association Primary School, TWGHs Hok Shan School. Their participation added colour to our Sports Day.
Before the closing ceremony, members of the Dance Club and cheerleaders of the four houses caught the attention of the audience by their brilliant performances. Finally, Gregory House won the inter-house cheerleading competition. In the closing and prize-giving ceremony, a speech was given by another Officiating Guest Mr. Chau Chi-kwong, Senior Curriculum Development Officer (Physical Ed) of the EDB. By asking students why traditional schools should exist since tutorial schools were already able to help students prepare for public examinations, he argued that traditional schools are indispensable in providing a place for students to pursue their dreams. He encouraged all students to pursue their dreams while they are studying at school.
After the flag-lowering ceremony, the 34th Sports Day came to an end in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

BkiUe-45qhDCZ21LCpHQ | Second consecutive day of protests: Thousands of Egyptians defy gov't ban on protests, angrily calling on President Mubarak to resign. Six dead.
Second day in a row: Thousands of Egyptians defied a government ban on protests today and angrily called on President Hosni Mubarak to resign.
The U.S.seems to have partially abandoned its long-time Arab ally, with Secretary of State Hilary Clinton telling the Mubarak government it must implement democratic reforms and allow peaceful protests.
Six people are reported dead and hundreds have been arrested following the second day of protests in several Egyptian cities. In the city of Suez, rioting demonstrators set fire to a government building on Thursday.
The ailing Mubarak, 82, has been in power since 1981, after the assassination of his predecessor Anwar Sadat. He has not said whether he will run in the September elections; he has long been considering backing his son Jamal.
A leading figure in the pro-reforms movement is Mohamed ElBaradei, who is set to return to Egypt as the anti-government protests give his bid for the presidency a powerful boost.
The White House pointedly turned down a direct opportunity to affirm support for Mubarak. Asked if the Obama administration still backed Mubarak, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said only, "Egypt is a strong ally."
"I do think it's possible for there to be reforms," Clinton said at a State Department press conference with visiting Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, "and that is what we are urging and calling for."
The U.S.position is somewhat surprising, seeing as if Mubarak's regime falls, it is likely that the extremist anti-Israel and anti-West Islamic Brotherhood will gain much power. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUfog5qhLByVBy15Pm | Mahavavy-Kinkony is a place like no other: a vast complex of forests, lakes, marshes, mangroves and grasslands, packed with extraordinary and rare wildlife. And it's not just wildlife – its towns, villages and landscapes also make it a vibrant cultural hub for the people of western Madagascar. So far, only a few intrepid ecotourists have visited the site, but this is set to change. Asity Madagascar (BirdLife Partner) has brought together local and national organisations to vastly expand birdwatching tourism at Mahavavy-Kinkony, an action that will benefit local communities and wildlife alike.
The site takes its name from a combination of Lake Kinkony, Madagascar's second biggest lake, and the River Mahavavy, which flows through to reach the sea via a large delta. It covers such a range of habitats, from mudflats, mangroves and forests to freshwater lakes, marshes and grasslands, that it's no wonder the site is classed as an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area, a Wetland of International Importance (Ramsar Site), and a vital Protected Area (created in 2015 thanks to the efforts of Asity Madagascar).
Birders venturing out to this area are in for a real treat. The wetlands of western Madagascar hold several bird species found nowhere else, including Madagascar Teal Anas bernieri (Endangered), Madagascar Fish-eagle Haliaeetus vociferoides (Critically Endangered), and Sakalava Rail Zapornia olivieri (Endangered), all of which can be spotted by eagle-eyed ecotourists. And it's not just birds. Visitors are likely to encounter spectacular lemurs such as Crowned Sifaka Propithecus coronatus and Decken's Sifaka P. deckeni.
As well as its value as a wildlife haven, Mahavavy-Kinkony is also of immense cultural importance as the heartland of the Sakalava ethnic group, who inhabit of much of Western Madagascar. In fact, Sakalava royalty are among the key supporters of the site's conservation. All this makes it a very promising prospect for ecotourism.
To kick it all off, in 2016 an annual event called Safari Birding was set up in Mahavavy-Kinkony to promote ecotourism. Asity Madagascar joined forces with local tourism offices and the local community* to catalyse the transformation of the site into a birding hotspot. Its success sparked an even bigger event in November 2017, and it has since become a flagship project for Boeny Region.
The event consisted of an exhibition, followed by a public conference / debate on the ornithological importance of the Protected Area, not to mention birdwatching itself. Birdwatchers were fascinated to learn about the birds that made their home in in Mahavavy-Kinkony, especially since they included some of the world's most sought-after species. Locals were surprised to hear that the Sakalava Rail of Lake Kinkony was of particular interest to birders due to its great rarity, and had the potential to attract birders from around the world.
National tour operators also took part, and were particularly interested in the potential of the Mahavavy Delta as an ecotourism destination. They responded positively, giving recommendations and agreeing to improve the organisation of birdwatching activities on this site – because although visitors report wonderful experiences, access remains a challenge for ecotourism operators to rise to.
Local communities who co-manage the Protected Area with Asity Madagascar will share the benefits, so we look forward to hearing more of the success, along with travellers' tales from this amazing site.
*The Safari Birding event was made possible thanks to the support of the Malagasy Ministry of Tourism (Directorate in Boeny Region), the Regional Tourism Office, Local Community of Ampitsopitsoka, Alliance Française Mahajanga, Madagascar National Parks, UNDP-GEF MRPA Project, European Union/Indian Ocean Commission Biodiversity, PAGE/GIZ and BMZ. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdf025V5hdn6rRPsz | , also known as , was the 111th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.
Go-Sai's reign spanned the years from 1655 through 1663.
This 17th-century sovereign was named after the 9th-century Emperor Junna and go- (後), translates as later, and thus, he could have been called the "Later Emperor Junna". Emperor Go-Sai could not pass the throne onto his descendants. For this reason, he was known as the Go-Saiin emperor, after an alternate name of Emperor Junna, who had confronted and reached an accommodation with similar issues. This emperor was also called .

Events of Go-Sai's life
Nagahito-shinnō became emperor when his emperor-brother died. This death left the throne vacant and the succession (senso) was received by the new monarch. Shortly thereafter, Emperor Go-Sai is considered to have acceded to the throne (sokui). The events during his lifetime shed light on his reign. The years of Go-Sai's reign correspond with a period in which Tokugawa Ietsuna was the leader at the pinnacle of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Go-Sai married the daughter of the first ; and he succeeded as second Takamatsu-no-miya. Then this Imperial prince became the emperor as a temporary measure until his younger brother, could grow older.
January 1, 1638: The birth of an Imperial prince who will become known by the posthumous name of Go-Sai-tennō.
January 5, 1655: The death of Go-Kōmyō caused the succession (senso) to be passed to his brother; and when the succession (senso) was received, the reign of Emperor Go-Sai was deemed to commence.
1655 (Meireki 1): The new ambassador of Korea, arrived in Japan.
March 2–3, 1657 (Meireki 3, 18–19th days of the 1st month): Great Fire of Meireki: The city of Edo was devastated by a violent fire.
1659 (Manji 5): In Edo, construction begins on the Ryōgoku Bridge (ryōgokubashi).
1661 (Manji 6): Imperial Palace in Kyoto is burnt to the ground; and the Gekū at Yamada was seriously damaged by fire.
March 20, 1662 (Kanbun 2, 1st day of the 2nd month): There was a violent earthquake in Kyoto which destroyed the tomb of the Taiko, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
1662 (Kanbun 2): Emperor Gosai ordered Tosa Hiromichi 土佐広通 (1561–1633), a Tosa-school disciple, to adopt the name Sumiyoshi (probably in reference to a 13th-century painter, Sumiyoshi Keinin 住吉慶忍), upon assuming a position as official painter for the Sumiyoshi Taisha 住吉大社).
March 5, 1663 (Kanbun 3, 26th day of the 1st month): Emperor Go-Sai abdicated, which meant that the Prince Satohito received the succession (senso). Shortly thereafter, Emperor Reigen formally acceded to the throne (sokui).
After abdicating, Go-sai put his heart into scholarship and he left behind many books, including the "Water and Sun Collection" (Suinichishū, 水日集). He was talented in waka; and he had a profound understanding of the classics.
During his reign, because of great fires at the Grand Ise Shrine, Osaka Castle, and the Imperial Palace, among others, the Great Meireki Fire, earthquakes in the region, and because of repeated floods, many people blamed the Emperor, saying he lacked moral virtue.
March 26, 1685 (Jōkyō 2, 22nd day of the 2nd month): Former-Emperor Go-Sai died; and a great comet was observed crossing the night sky.
Emperor Go-Sai is enshrined in the imperial mausoleum, Tsuki no wa no misasagi, at Sennyū-ji in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto. Also enshrined are Go-Sai's immediate predecessors, Emperor Go-Mizunoo, Empress Meishō and Go-Kōmyō. Go-Sai's immediate Imperial successors, including Reigen, Higashiyama, Nakamikado, Sakuramachi, Momozono, Go-Sakuramachi and Go-Momozono, are enshrined here as well.
At the Kitano Shrine, a tablet over the Chu-mon entryway reads tenmangu in the calligraphy of Emperor Go-sai.
Kugyō
is a collective term for the very few most powerful men attached to the court of the Emperor of Japan in pre-Meiji eras. Even during those years in which the court's actual influence outside the palace walls was minimal, the hierarchic organization persisted.
In general, this elite group included only three to four men at a time. These were hereditary courtiers whose experience and background would have brought them to the pinnacle of a life's career. During Go-Sai's reign, this apex of the Daijō-kan included:
Kampaku, Nijō Mitsuhira, 1653–1663
Sadaijin
Udaijin
Naidaijin
Dainagon

BkiUgGQ5qhDC0V1en3ut | The descriptions of Gemma's abuse are graphic -- and can be agonizing to read. It's frightening to enter the mind of the abuser, but it's necessary for adults to get an unvarnished view of what child sexual abuse is. This is a subject that author Meg Tilly, sadly, knows well from first-hand experience. Meg Tilly has woven a tale that delicately balances the terrible rawness of abuse with an uplifting story. After Hazen Wood kidnaps twelve-year-old Gemma Sullivan, the two embark on a journey that tests the limits of young Gemma's endurance. When Gemma tries to escape, Hazen drags her back and threatens her even more. It is only Gemma's resilience and fertile imagination that protect her from the worst of the trauma she suffers. And, finally, it's the power of unconditional love that gives her the courage to speak out and claim the life she deserves. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUc_o5qYVBP38sXtZE | Typically, wisdom is something we gain with age, when the gray hairs have begun to sprout atop our heads and the aches have begun to work through our bones, and we're often left thinking, If only I knew then what I know now. This is why calling someone "wise beyond their years" is perhaps the greatest compliment you can pay—it implies a special understanding and appreciation of life, with all its bittersweet tapestry, its twists and turns, and its ups and downs. This week's Unbound features a fourth-grade writer from Del Valle Elementary who fits the wise beyond her years tag to a tee. Like a great jazz song, Storm's poem takes us through the transformative nature of sadness—its onset, its sudden departure, its stubborn ability to linger—while managing to make the experience beautiful and reflective. Congratulations to Storm for penning a poem that invites us to pause, deliberate, and wait patiently for silliness.
Our years in school are filled with facts—historical, biological, familial, geographical. We learn where things are, why they do what they do, and how they work. Often, when we hear these bits of information for the first time, they're utterly mind-blowing, vastly expanding our small sense of the world. But slowly, over the years, these facts become second nature—two plus two is four, Europe is north of Africa, giraffes have very long necks. Today's young writer, however, offers a fun reminder that it's wise to occasionally question what we already know to be true, to ask again, and to go straight to the source. Congratulations to Gabby at Del Valle Elementary School on a poem that, in a sense, turns the facts on their head (at least as far as monkeys are concerned).

Not only are these list poems proof of a young writer's expanding vocabulary, but they also highlight one of the finer moments from our Community-Wide Reading event, which happened this past Saturday.

I specialize in working with adults who are going through transition and change. My approach is goal oriented and solution-based counseling. I use a collaborative, empathic, integrative and dynamic model. I believe that creating empathy, focusing on strengths, developing new skills, strategies, and coping mechanisms empower my clients to find the missing piece from their career and personal world.
I am a career changer as well. After graduating college I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Central America. I was assigned to be Superintendent of Psychology at the Ministry of Education in Costa Rica.

I have traveled, lived and worked with people from all over the world, and I thoroughly enjoy a wide and diverse multicultural clientele. My ideal clients are highly motivated to move forward to accomplish their goals. What distinguishes me from many other counselors is that I am a licensed mental health counselor who also has an expertise in career counseling and coaching; therefore, I am able to work with emotional issues that often accompany career counseling concerns.
I am a member of the American Counseling Association, the National Board of Certified Counselors, The Maryland Career and Development Association and Licensed Clinical Counselors of Maryland.

My role as a counselor is to help individuals and couples identify and reach career as well as personal goals such as behavioral changes, symptom relief, self-awareness and the enhancement of well-being at work and in daily life. I individualize my approach based on the unique characteristics and needs of each person. I use a person-centered approach to develop a positive relationship with my clients and include elements of reality therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and brief solution-focused therapy in designing interventions and strategies. My style is conversational, warm, direct, empathic and down to earth.
The process of counseling takes time as well as energy. Counseling often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems and significant reductions in feelings of distress, but there are no guarantees of what you will experience. In order for counseling and/or therapy to be most successful you will have to work on issues and strategies we talk about both during our sessions and at home.
Our first few sessions will involve an evaluation of your needs. By the end of the evaluation, I will offer you some first impressions of what our work will include and a plan to follow. My counseling methods vary according to what I feel is appropriate for your specific issue, and I incorporate cognitive restructuring components and goal setting since they have objective measurements of success.
The amount of time my clients spend in a helping or therapeutic relationship with me varies according to the needs of the individual and/or the couple. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
e.g. SLC35F1 or 20:27519120-28057219 or glycoprotein
OryCun2 (GCA_000003625.1) is an assembly of rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). It was sequenced to a 7X. The genome sequencing and assembly are provided by the Broad Institute within the mammalian genome project.
Of the 2.74 Gb genome, approximately 82% has been anchored to chromosomes, which include autosomes 1-21 and sex chromosome X. The remaining unanchored contigs have been concatenated into virtual chromosomes "Un".The N50 size is the length such that 50% of the assembled genome lies in blocks of the N50 size or longer. The N50 length for supercontigs is 35348.54kb and is 64.65kb for contigs. The total number of bases in supercontigs is 2.66 Gb and in contigs is 2.60 Gb.
The genome assembly represented here corresponds to GenBank Assembly ID GCA_000003625.1

RABBIT (Release 58, May2010)
The gene set for rabbit was built using the Ensembl genebuild pipeline. Gene models are based on genewise alignments of glire proteins as well as genetically distant proteins from other species, including most mammal proteins from Uniprot. To improve the accuracy of models generated from distant species, the Genewise alignments were made to stretches of genomic sequence rather than to 'miniseqs'. Additionnaly, human and mouse one-to-one orthologues were aligned using exonerate, combined with rabbit-specific proteins. The protein based gene models were then extended using rabbit cDNA and EST alignments. The resulting gene models were then assessed by generating sets of potential orthologs to genes from other vertebrate species. Potentially missing predictions and partial gene predictions were identified by examining the orthologs, which were then used to build new gene models.

Oryctolagus cuniculus is one of 24 mammals that will be sequenced as part of the Mammalian Genome Project, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The species were chosen to maximise the branch length of the evolutionary tree while representing the diversity of mammalian species. Low-coverage 2X assemblies will be produced for these mammals and used in alignments for cross-species comparison. The aim is to increase our understanding of functional elements, especially in the human genome. | commoncrawl | 5 | 5 | 4 | 3 |
BkiUbJo5qsBB3Od3gWP9 | Parmotrema arnoldii, commonly known as the powdered ruffle lichen, is a widely distributed species of lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It has been recorded from Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, Macaronesia, and North and South America.
Taxonomy
The lichen was first described in the scientific literature as Parmelia nilgherrensis by William Nylander in 1874. This taxon was later (1875) transferred by Ferdinand Arnold into Imbricaria (a now obsolete genus name sunk into Anaptychia). However, Nylander's 1874 publication of this species is an illegitimate homonym, as he had previously published this name with a different type in 1869. In 1924, Gustaf Einar Du Rietz described the same taxon as Parmelia arnoldii. Mason Hale transferred it to Parmotrema in 1974, as part of a taxonomic transfer of all species in Parmelia subgenus Parmelia section Irregulare. It is commonly known as the powdered ruffle lichen.
Description
Parmotrema arnoldii has a pale grey thallus comprising lobes that measure 6–15 mmm wide. The thallus lacks maculae (spots or lines free of photobiont). There are soralia present on the upper surface of the tips of the lobes, which causes them to curl downwards. The lobes, especially those lacking soredia, have abundant, long cilia. The lower surface of the thallus (the subthallus) is black to brown and has a naked marginal zone (i.e. without rhizines). Secondary compounds present are atranorin, alectoronic and α-collatolic acids, sometimes accompanied also by skyrin.
Similar species
Parmotrema margaritatum is identical in appearance, but it has salazinic acid. Cetrelia chicitae is similar in morphology to Parmotrema arnoldii and produces the same secondary substances. However, unlike P. arnoldii, it has pseudocyphellae and thallus margins without cilia.
Habitat and distribution
Parmotrema arnoldii is widely distributed, and has been recorded from temperate locations in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, Macaronesia, and North and South America. Typically growing among mosses that associate with plants, often on old shrubs or horizontal tree branches, the lichen prefers relatively well-lit and humid undisturbed woodlands.

BkiUcxk4ubnjorNy34Dx | Review: Room
Year: 2015 (U.K Threatical Release: 2016)
Director: Lenny Abrahamson
Screenplay: Emma Donoghue
Starring: Brie Larson, Jacob Tremblay, Joan Allen, William H Macy
Synopsis is here:
Despite the film's slow build, and it's sometimes misguided moments of tone, Lenny Abrahamson's adaptation of Emma Donoghue's novel; Room, is an involving drama led brilliantly from the film's main cast. To say too much about the plot, is to ruin things. The film's marketing has already perhaps let in too much air. Although it would be difficult to sell Room without hinting at least some of its dark premise.
The film's bleak introduction is tough going. For some, it will be the very idea of what's happening within the enclosed space. Despite being a work of fiction, Donoghue's story was inspired by a very disturbing true story. One which may switch off one or two in the audience, but would surprise fans of Abrahamson's previous works. For myself, I found the films first act difficult to get my teeth stuck into. Its situation is troubling, the cast brings forth the right chemistry, yet the stodginess of the piece (while seemingly intentional) becomes slightly overbearing.
Room becomes a far more engaging film after a pivotal event, to which we are suddenly pushed forward into a new range of dynamics. All from the viewpoint of a small child. There's a slight echo of Terry Gilliam's Tideland (2005), but while Abrahamson never delves into the recesses of a disturbed child as vibrantly as Gilliam, he maintains a similar innocence while keeping in place a wonderful eye for detail. Room is a film of close ups and reactions, both captured expertly by (cinematographer) Danny Cohen, who manages to display the disorientating effects of an encapsulated youth with a disturbing accuracy.
It is the leads who pull off the films real power. Brie Larson's darting eyes and troubled glances are matched with the brevity of newcomer Jacob Tremblay. Neither performance is easy to pull off. Both are layered with emotional and give the film's extraordinary situation its pull, even if the catharsis isn't as powerful as expected.
As an introduction to Abrahamson's work, Room is far more accessible than the deeply affecting What Richard Did (2012), or his macabrely quirky Adam and Paul (2004). It still brings about some difficult watching and while it doesn't home as hard as previous efforts (does the film need to lean on its score as hard as it does?), it's certainly a solid piece of work from an upfront and ambitious director. It'll be easy to see audience members ignore my heart of stone and flood a screening room in tears.

Review: Youth
Year: 2015 (UK Theatrical release: 2016)
Director: Paolo Sorrentino
Screenplay: Paolo Sorrentino
Starring: Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, Rachel Weisz, Paul Dano, Jane Fonda.
It's funny that amidst all the #Oscarsowhite nonsense, we have Michael Caine telling black actors and filmmakers to "be patient" when it comes to award nominations. Caine says this while promoting yet another film which once again highlights the first world problems of very wealthy white creatives. A film in which its director, Paulo Sorrentino, has already graced his presence with two years ago. Only this time we get more Paul Dano.
The rather gruff old man I sat next to in the screening picked up his stuff and left swiftly though the second act. A film about apathetic old men was just too much. Life's too short. At one point I too considered such an option. As a film, Youth isn't a badly made piece. Its visual opulence is remarkable. The performances from all the cast hold sensitivity and humour. But I feel that I could have edited my review for Sorrentino's The Great Beauty and would only have to change less than 100 words.
The second reason behind possibly leaving was that unlike its leads, I still, at this point, have my youth. I will wholeheartedly admit that what Sorrentino is aiming for, I may be too immature to fully appreciate. This doesn't explain why The Great Beauty tickled the right spot. Maybe it's because the texts are just so similar. There's little to be said here that wasn't said better in Sorrentino's 2013 acclaimed feature. We go over the reminiscing, fear and lost loves of both Fred (Caine) and Micky (Harvey Keitel) as they grow old disgracefully during a holiday in the Swiss Alps. The feelings of desire and the wish for more time and energy witness are relatable to anyone who holds a close relationship with their parents/grandparents. Yes, we must embrace life, as to look back with regret is most disheartening. It's not that what Sorrentino's saying doesn't hold a sense of truth. However, this was said with more bite two years ago. Toni Servillo wandering the ruins of Rome, looking back at his own feelings of unfulfilment within a city of such succulent culture gave an entertaining dynamic. Having Caine conduct music with cows wearing bells is cute, but doesn't really do too much else.
Cute is what Youth often is. Having an aging Maradona reflect on when he had the world at his feet is a highlight. As is the film's gorgeous compositions of the human body which range from the young and voluptuous to the aged and decaying. Sorrentino is quite skilled at conveying certain emotions and moods wordlessly.
It is difficult to believe a lot of Youth however. The narrative thread of Rachel Weisz's character is weak on many accounts, not just for the bizarre meta reference of using Paloma Faith as a Homewrecker. Despite the amusing end gag at Miss Faith's expense, the film often derails itself on such indulgent flights of fancy.
Should we have expected anything thing else from a film like Youth? Probably not. I do have to admit that the film is a bit of a let-down. While holding the same visual elegance of The Great Beauty, it lacks that film's sense of place. While lovely to look at, nothing really seems to stick. Although the screenplay tries incessantly to do so with its more obvious dialogue.
Amusingly, Fred states at one point that "Intellectuals have no taste." Another cute moment in a film that could likely be highly acclaimed by intellectuals. My mind wandered back to the gruff man who exited early. I wonder if he left to watch a movie where robots fight aliens or something similar. That's what I would have done.

BkiUeME4eIOjRst9_09C | Real World Economics
A Post-Autistic Economics Reader
Edited by Edward Fullbrook
An engaging, important text calling for the reform of economics and pushing for the discipline to become an honest and effective tool for democracy.
PDF, Pages
Title:Real World Economics
The articles in this book have been selected for their importance to the reform movement and for their accessibility to the general reader. Intelligibility is one of the movement's two keystones. "Real economic problems" concern real people, so their analysis must be made intelligible to an educated general public if real democracy is to function.
The second keystone of the post-autistic movement is pluralism. All analysis proceeds on the basis of concepts that admit only a partial view of the economy, thereby predetermining the set of possible conclusions. This requires economists to begin to develop an ethos of honesty regarding the limitations of their chosen approaches. In engaging and thought-provoking prose, the 66 chapters of this book bring these and other conflicts out into the open and place them in the context of the major issues of the 21st century.
'This book is an effort to bring economics back to reality. Given the influence that economists often have on public policy, this is an important task.' —Dean Baker, Co-Director, Centre for Economic and Policy Research, Washington
'This book should be required reading for students taking economic classes and for heterodox economists who want to create a better economics.' —David F. Ruccio, Professor of Economics & Policy Studies, University of Notre Dame
'Promises to reshape contemporary economic discourse to the benefit of students, professors, activists, and citizens of the world.' —Frederic S. Lee, University of Missouri-Kansas City, author of 'Post Keynesian Price Theory' and editor of the 'Heterodox Economics Newsletter'

BkiUfHU4uzlh_1001PHV | Call to Arms 5 – Round 3 Stats
We're half way through Call to Arms 5 and to celebrate, I thought I'd get the stats out to you in record time.
The scenario for round 3 was Raze. Personally this is one of my least favourite scenarios as I feel that the 'score as you go' mechanic doesn't fit well with the rest of Kings of War. You can often find yourself in very asymmetrical situations where your opponent has already claimed all your objectives, but you're still trying to get theirs. At that stage, one person is playing Kill and the other is still trying to play a scenario game.
Of course, my opinion on the scenario has no relevance to the stats…
Continuing the theme of using the terrain to make players think a bit differently, I presented this monstrosity of a map! The idea behind it was to force players to think ahead about how they were going to reach their opponent's Raze counters, when so many of their movement lanes were closed off by Obstacles.
I can at least say that no one can ever accuse me of designing maps that benefit myself, seeing as after putting together this map I went and played infantry Dwarfs!
One thing that I've been interested to track this Call to Arms is the number of Draws per scenario. I'm also intending to go back through the data from previous Call to Arms to do a bit of analysis there as well. While a high number of Draws isn't a bad thing, I always think there is merit from a TO point of view in knowing which scenarios are more likely to provide a decisive result and which may lead to more Draws in a round.
Another stat that I'm tracking more for myself as a TO, is the average score per round. This lets me gauge the health of the Northern Kings Scoring System as we aim to have each scenario be as evenly weighted as possible – the scenario in Round 1 shouldn't be more lucrative than Round 6 for example. At the moment, it looks like we're in a good place, with the average score for the winners remaining within a range of 0.3 points.
Both wet and dry Undead continue to hold the top spot for most popular army, closely pursued by Nightstalkers and Salamanders.
Every army has been used at least once now. It looks like Twilight Kin generals are the most consistent, as they're the only army to have been used the same number of times each round.
Army Stats
Nightstalkers enjoyed their five minutes of fame as the most successful army in the tournament, before being toppled by the usual incumbents of Abyssal Dwarfs and Undead. Abyssal Dwarfs are currently sitting on a 2:1 win/loss ratio so the changes to the Angkor Heavy Mortar and Ignore Cover rules didn't seem to have as big an impact as some people were claiming they would.
As the most popular army with the largest dataset, you would expect that Undead should be the most likely to fall to an average 50% win rate – it stands to reason that players from across all skill levels will be using them. However, having lost only 7 of their 26 games, I think its fair to say that there might be some truth in the idea that Undead are the strongest faction in Kings of War at the moment… maybe a little too good.
The biggest shock of the tournament so far is Varangur with an abysmal 20% win rate from 15 games. I'm personally surprised by this as I've always found Varangur to be a solid army. I also though they would do well with the map in Round 3, as their heavy hitting Frostfang hordes come with built in Strider. What do people think about Varangur? Is this a spate of bad luck or a sign of wider issues with the list?
Clearly still angry about the loss of their Stampedes and Eagles, the Herd have taken their frustrations out on their opponents, scoring the highest average kill percentage. The Order of the Brothermark on the other hand are clearly too pious for bloodshed with a pitiful 44.5% average kill percentage.

Personally I think the undead are a nice benchmark of where all the other lists should be, so rather than hitting the the undead with a nurf hammer how about tapping each other army with a buff mallet till things even out.
btw, thanks for all the great content, much appreciated.
epm571 says:
Absolutely. I'm a big fan of the video game design principle of encouraging the behaviour you want to see rather than blocking gameplay options. I think that can be applied to KoW by giving all armies as much variety of viable choices as possible and then using other tools like the scenarios to promote certain styles of play.
Thats one of the reasons that I pushed for so many units to be made regular in CoK21 – my approach is, players should have as much choice as possible, unless there is a very clear reason why not.
In saying that though there are issues with Undead that go slightly beyond 'they have lots of good choices'. They have units that are clearly a little but too good for their points and so while I'm not in favour of wholesale nerfs, we'll be keeping a very close eye on them in the RC.

BkiUcPnxK1yAgWt79ZCW | One from the more distant archives. This one is an article in the New York Times, mainly about the popularity of the hack circle and similar activities, such as juggling, taking off on campuses around the time. Some quotes from Gerg Cortopassi, co-founder of World Footbag Association.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11— The object is a small, floppy sphere that lies inert wherever it falls, but it has started students leaping and kicking and, according to one professor here, "feeling better about themselves" on campuses around the country.
At Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania it is called a Hacky Sack, at the University of Delaware a footbag.
By whatever name, it is the instrument of a new sport with ancient Oriental roots that moved down the West Coast, crossed the country to East Coast colleges and now, proponents say, is beginning to find converts from Europe to the Far East.

At the luxury Amathus Beach hotel in Cyprus, I made a lot of Greek specialties. Since then I've perfected this recipe, and it's one of my go-to weekly salads. It is not only my favorite but also beloved in the Mediterranean and internationally for it's flavorful, healthy ingredients and simplicity.
Made in under 10 minutes, this delicious Greek salad recipe is filled with juicy ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, Spanish onions, savory olives and fresh feta cheese. The classic Greek salad is made without lettuce. To make the classic variation, double the ingredients and exclude the lettuce. Serve with pita bread.
Wash the baby gem, tomatoes, and cucumber. Pat dry.
Peel the Spanish onions and the garlic.
To make the Balsamic Dressing, crush the garlic, add the vinegar, salt, and white pepper to a small bowl. Add the oil and mix until it's well incorporated. Then, set aside.
Roughly slice the baby gem and add it to a large bowl.
Slice the tomatoes and cucumber and add to the large bowl.
Next, finely shave the onions with a mandoline. If you don't have a mandoline, slice or dice with a knife.
Then, cut the feta cheese into 1 cm cubes.
When you are ready to serve, season the salad with the dressing and place in a shallow salad bowl or on a plate. Then add the onions, feta, and olives on the top. Bon appétit! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdgo4eIZijinjAiJx | On August 10, 2006, British police announced the arrest of several individuals in connection with a major terror plot against airlines traveling from Britain to the U.S. As a result, the U.S. government elevated its terrorism alert to Red, the highest level for flights originating in the United Kingdom bound for the United States. Additionally, the threat level for all commercial aviation operating in or destined to the U.S. has been raised to High, or Orange. Travelers have been prohibited from taking liquids of any type into the airport beyond security check points. This has resulted in slowdowns and passenger anxiety at some security checkpoints across the U.S.
How will the heightened security measures impact AAA members?
Travelers face tighter security restrictions and longer lines because of rules imposed by U.S. and British officials. Travelers are advised to arrive at the airport three hours in advance for international flights and two hours in advance for domestic flights.
What is prohibited in my carry-on bag?
The new rules ban almost all liquids and gels from being taken aboard flights. That means you should not carry: sunscreen, lotion, perfume, hand sanitizer, shampoo, toothpaste, hair gel or beverages. Those items must be put in your checked luggage if you want to take them along when you travel.
You can still bring baby formula, breast milk or juice if you're traveling with a child; prescription drugs if your name is on the bottle; and insulin or other "essential" non-prescription medications.
Are the rules different in the United Kingdom?
If you're on a flight leaving the United Kingdom, there are more restrictions: You will need to check ALL luggage — that means no carry-ons whatsoever — and every passenger will be hand-searched at security checkpoints. Only a few personal items, such as wallets, glasses, medications and travel documents, are permitted, and a bag used to carry those items must be plastic. On flights to the USA, passengers will be searched again at the gate before they board.
Do the rules in the UK also apply to flights from the USA to the UK?
There is some confusion among the airlines on this subject. American Airlines says the restrictions apply to UK-bound flights, some other airlines say they do not. We are working now to clarify this.
Are there any exceptions to the new rules in the USA?
A few. You can still bring baby formula, breast milk or juice if you're traveling with a child; prescription drugs if your name is on the bottle; and insulin or other "essential" non-prescription medications. Screeners should not make you sample the liquids.
Can I still bring medicine along if it's not in liquid form?
If I forget to remove liquids or gels from my bags before I get to the security checkpoint, what happens?
Screeners will ask you to put them in a checked bag or give them to someone who isn't traveling. Otherwise they will be confiscated.
What should I do if the screeners overlook something?
If your toothpaste or hair gel inadvertently makes it through a checkpoint, authorities recommend you turn it in to a security officer. You won't necessarily get in trouble for having it, but it could cause concern if other passengers see it.
Am I allowed to purchase toothpaste or other liquids after I get through security and then take them aboard the flight?
No. You are not allowed to carry aboard anything liquid aboard your flight no matter when or where you purchased it.
Besides the liquid and gel bans, what else will be different about security?
The TSA says screeners will be checking passengers more thoroughly at checkpoints, including inspecting more bags by hand. They are also searching some passengers a second time immediately before boarding — a practice instituted shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks but discontinued several years ago.
Will I have to wait longer in lines?
Most likely. AAA advises that you get to the airport at least three hours before an international flight and two hours before a domestic flight.
Why can I put liquids and gels in a checked bag but not carry them aboard?
Transportation Security Administration spokesman Amy Von Walter says authorities are concerned that liquids could be one part of a bomb, not necessarily a fully-assembled explosive. If those parts are in carry-on bags, someone could put the bomb together in flight; if they're in the cargo hold, they couldn't.
How long will these new rules last?
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the rules would be "constantly evaluated and updated when circumstances warrant."
Are there any other efforts or new steps being taken to thwart terrorists aboard flights?
The government sent more air marshals to the United Kingdom. Many U.S. airports also have deployed more uniformed police officers. At some airports, such as in Boston and LA, the National Guard has been called into security duty.
What if I have an airline ticket to or from the United Kingdom and I want to cancel?
Customers may be rebooked without normally applicable change fees or additional collections to a new flight on August 10 or 11, 2006. Changes to origins or destinations are not permitted; however, changes in connecting points are permitted.
Northwest will waive normal change fees. Customers may postpone their travel for up to one year from the date their ticket was issued, providing they rebook by October 31, 2006.
Has AAA received many calls for cancellation?
As of Thursday (Aug. 10) afternoon, no cancellation requests were received.
What is AAA doing with regard to cancellations?
AAA customers who booked air tickets through AAA Travel Agency have been contacted or are in the process of being contacted. AAA will provide these customers with the information they need to make an intelligent decision. Cancellation requests will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
Customers who have NOT booked through AAA will need to contact the airline or alternate booking agency directly to resolve these issues.
If I have travel insurance, am I covered?
Most travel insurance policies will reimburse travelers for expenses they incur due to delayed or canceled flights, such as the cost of a hotel room at the airport. However, travel insurance most likely won't reimburse the cost of upcoming trips that travelers cancel due to security concerns. Travelers should contact the booking agent directly to resolve cancellation questions.
This information only applies to policies purchased prior to August 10, 2006.
For insured travelers affected by carrier-caused delays, our Travel Delay benefit reimburses for additional travel expenses according to the policy's terms and conditions.
For travel between the U.S. and the U.K., we will cover delays encountered on August 10 & 11th due to the security conditions as long as the consumer has a policy with Travel Delay benefits. This is liberalization and all other policy terms and conditions will apply.
As an additional accommodation, insured travelers may change travel dates on their insurance plans if the original destination was the United Kingdom; and the policy transfer is made before September 31, 2006.
Also, Access America and World Access will continue to provide Emergency Assistance and Concierge Services to our customers as needed, including the Emergency Message Relay to help customers reach friends and family.
For assistance or to modify your policy, insured customers may contact Access America at 800-284-8300. For customers currently traveling in the U.K., call us collect 804-281-5700.
Policies do not provide coverage if a person wants to cancel, interrupt or their trip is cancelled or interrupted due to this situation. For policies purchased on or after August 10, 2006, the potential for delays is considered known and will not be covered. No coverage is provided for changes in travel plans due to fear.
Allow extra time to arrive and go through security at the airport.
Bring only necessary items in your carry-on luggage, which may have to be checked.
If you are carrying medication, be sure to have your prescription-marked container with you.
Save receipts for additional expenses if you have Travel Delay coverage.

BkiUeDjxaKgQNOzmp5PH | Online jigsaw of a ski resort in Switzerland with ski tracks in the snow going down the side of the mountain. Ski lifts in the distance take skiers to the top of the mountain.
Love these snow scenes maybe one day we could meet up and go sledge-ing, one can but dream. thank you once again for such a good choice of the snow scene.Santa.
I've never been skiing - I've been on a ski lift. Now, probably the only way I could go skiing would be on one of those things that The Beatles had sat on in the movie "Help! " - they were kind of like a scooter but on skies instead of wheels.
Wanted to remember the snow we had and now it is so hot!
It looks like this outside right now! What a blip! Now that it is February we are getting all the snow!
Simply beautiful, & a lovely puzzle to do, thanks team.

BkiUdE44uzlhfMbxTrqU | Melissa West is a yoga teacher. I have never met her, but she has hundreds of beautiful yoga videos available on youtube. For free. Her yoga is for real people with real bodies so people like me with a blown knee can do it. And people like me who aren't skinny all over and smooth bodied and smooth faced can do it too. And if you are a person like me and you do Melissa's yoga, you will soon know again that your lumps and bumps and squishynesses are perfect and beautiful and as deserving of a nice swimsuit as anyone else's.
But really Melissa's yoga is about real life too. Yoga for courage to apply for the job and attend the job interview. Or to ask for help, to acknowledge a mistake. Yoga for grieving – to say goodbye, to feel it, really feel it, and let it be for a bit, or even let it go. Yoga for going inwards and remaining strong when the world shouts that you are too old, too wrinkly, too fat, and not enough of this and this and that. And yoga for having a go, trying your hardest and collapsing in a heap, a giggling heap, laughing your head off as you realise that some big drama in your life is not such a big bloody deal after all. That was my favourite yoga moment.
Or maybe my favourite yoga moment was when I did a twist and grasped my wonky knee and encouraged by Melissa's philosophy was gentle with it and placed it just so and felt a real rush of love and admiration for my bony old knee and all we have been through together and gave it a little pat – there there old girl. That was nice too.
But maybe the best bit is that it is those moments that keep me coming back – not weight loss, age reversal or the general yogarobics crap. Just me, loving me and loving the body I'm in. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Morocco & Tunisia express resolve to boost economic exchanges
Tunis - Morocco and Tunisia expressed on Thursday shared will to give new impetus to their economic cooperation and trade and bring it to the level of the bilateral exemplary political ties.
Tunis – Morocco and Tunisia expressed on Thursday shared will to give new impetus to their economic cooperation and trade and bring it to the level of the bilateral exemplary political ties.
Talking at the opening of the Moroccan-Tunisian economic forum, held in the Tunisian capital prior to the official visit that HM King Mohammed VI will be paying to this country starting on Friday, Moroccan minister of Industry, trade, investment and digital economy, Moulay Hafid ElAlamy, and Tunisian minister of industry, energy and mining, Kamal Ben Naceur, took the floor to reaffirm the shared will of the two countries.
Stressing that the forum is held in an international and regional context of major economic and social hardships, the Moroccan official called the two countries to establish "strong and lasting partnership" in order to generate more growth, reduce unemployment, and meet social aspirations.
After recalling the strong bonds uniting the two Maghreban countries, El Alamy deplored the low level of economic exchanges.
Tunisia is Morocco's 35th customer and 31st supplier with a general volume of exchanges hardly reaching, in 2013, 2.58 billion Dirhams.
The Moroccan minister urged for seizing the visit of HM King Mohammed VI to Tunisia to boost economic ties, through a renovated and long-term approach driven by a pragmatic win-win partnership.
He also urged for moving forward in regional integration which, he said, might start with the integration of the Moroccan and Tunisian financial markets.
The same opinion was shared by the Tunisian official who called for joining efforts to improve trade between the two countries, pointing out that Morocco and Tunisia are both willing to increase the level of exchanges from 1pc of their global exchanges presently to 10pc.
He stated that his country plans to carry on efforts to improve its institutional framework in order to stimulate investments between the two countries.
Over 200 Moroccan and Tunisian business operators participated in the economic forum.

BkiUdRw25V5jC8VS7G4j | The fine art of Drew Conley, based out of Greenville, S.C.
Born in Greenville in 1959, Drew Conley has spent all but nine years in the upstate of South Carolina. His father served as brass musician, college professor, and pastor; his mother, as an art gallery docent. From a child Drew loved to draw, paint, and sculpt. In college he double-majored in Bible and in art, with a particular emphasis on terra cotta sculpture. While working on his Ph.D. in Theology, he joined three friends who became career artists to form the Summer Studio at Bob Jones University, running three summers from 1989 to 1991. During that period Drew did landscapes, portrait busts, and sculptures of historical and literary figures. One of his lifesized terra cotta sculptures (1990) sits in the lobby of the Children's Hospital at Greenville Memorial Hospital.
In the late summer of 1991 Drew entered full-time pastoral ministry in the suburbs of Columbia, SC, and continues in that vocation in Greenville since 2000. In 2008 he renewed his artwork with a focus on oil landscapes. John Singer Sargent, Kevin McPherson, and Scott Christensen have strongly influenced his approach to painting, along with the instruction and inspiration of nature itself. Both as pastor and artist Drew seeks to help people see the glory of the Creator's handiwork—with their eyes and soul. Pastoral demands are great, but days off and vacation times allow recharging through artistic expression. Drew currently resides in Greenville with his wife and their two sons.
To help people not just look, but actually see—that's what an artist does. Every day we pass through a world that displays the handiwork of the Master Artist, Creator of heaven and earth. Ever changing, ever speaking, all life and light whispers and shouts His astonishing power, wisdom, and love. Even in a broken world, divine beauty still shines through.
My oil landscapes attempt to capture the wonder, the joy, the glory of the Creator's light—the life force that surges through earth, sky, and seas—and paints the cities of man with shimmering light. I am striving to help others see, then seek—and love—the Source of life and light. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUasbxK1yAgXBVCatJ | Police have arrested the fiend who shattered the jaw of a Bronx deli worker by whipping rock-hard avocados at him during a melee last month.
Brad Gomez, 28, was picked up by cops Thursday and taken to the 44th Precinct for questioning. He was charged with assault.
Gomez was supposed to turn himself in Thursday morning but never showed up, prompting cops to go out and pick him up.
Gomez and another unapprehended man went berserk inside the Stadium Gourmet Deli after they got into an argument with an employee who messed up his food order on May 29.
He then became irate when he tried to talk to Amir Alzabidi, 21, who does not speak English.
One of the avocados pelted Alzabidi in the side of the face, breaking his jaw.
He underwent surgery on June 6 and is still recovering from his injuries. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdwk241xg-Ma3x9Ee | Competitive advantage. The value chain. Five forces. Industry structure. Differentiation. Relative cost. If you want to understand how companies achieve and sustain competitive success, Michael Porter's frameworks are the foundation. But while everyone in business may know Porter's name, many managers misunderstand and misuse his concepts.
Understanding Michael Porter sets the record straight, providing the first concise, accessible summary of Porter's revolutionary thinking. Written with Porter's full cooperation by Joan Magretta, his former editor at Harvard Business Review, this new book delivers fresh, clear examples to illustrate and update Porter's ideas.
Magretta uses her wide business experience to translate Porter's powerful insights into practice and to correct the most common misconceptions about them—for instance, that competition is about being unique, not being the best; that it is a contest over profits, not a battle between rivals; that strategy is about choosing to make some customers unhappy, not being all things to all customers.
An added feature is an original Q&A with Porter himself, which includes answers to managers' FAQs.
Eminently readable, this book will enable every manager in your organization to grasp Porter's ideas—and swiftly deploy them to drive your company's success. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdUk5qhLA8xWe_gVO | "Galatea" and "Midas" are two of John Lyly's most engaging plays. Lyly took up the story of two young women, Galatea (or Gallathea) and Phillida who are dressed up in male clothes by their fathers so that they can avoid the requirement of the god Neptune that every year "the fairest and chastest virgin in all the country be sacrificed to a sea-monster." Hiding together in the forest, the two maidens fall in love, each supposing the other to be a young man. "Galatea" has become the subject of considerable feminist critical study in recent years. "Midas" (1590) uses mythology in quite a different way, dramatizing two stories about King Midas in such a way as to fashion a satire of King Philip of Spain (and of any tyrant like him) for colossal greediness and folly. In the wake of the defeat of Philip's Armada fleet and its attempted invasion of England in 1588, this satire was calculated to win the approval of Queen Elizabeth and her court.
(c. 1553 or 1554 – November 1606) An English writer, best known for his books Euphues,The Anatomy of Wit and Euphues and His England. Lyly's linguistic style, originating in his first books, is known as Euphuism. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

US Drops 'Mother of All Bombs' on Afghanistan
Filed to:Barf Bag
An artistic rendering of the Trump Doctrine. Image via Getty.
Barf BagWelcome to Barf Bag, a daily politics roundup to help you sort through the chaotic Trumpian news cycle.
As some famous guy once wrote, "April is the cruellest month."
Here's all the shit we couldn't cover today:
The Pentagon announced that it dropped a GBU-43, the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US military's inventory, on ISIS forces in Afghanistan. It is the first time that the United States has used the bomb which, according to reports, was considered in the early days of the Iraq War (Part II, in 2003). According to a statement from the Pentagon, the bomb was the "right munition" for targeting ISIS. [Washington Post]
Donald Trump declined to say whether or not he authorized the airstrike. Instead, he said that "I authorize my military," adding that "We have the greatest military in the world and they've done a job, as usual." Trump described the airstrike as a "very, very successful mission." I'm having terrible flashbacks to Trump's February press conference where he waxed poetically about nuclear weapons. [White House Pool]
Meanwhile, in Syria, another country we're bombing, an American-led coalition airstrike killed 18 American allies. [New York Times]
According to a report, British spy agencies have "specific concrete and corroborative evidence of collusion," between the Trump campaign and "agents of [Russian] influence." [The Guardian]
House Democrats are calling for Jared Kushner's security clearance to be revoked. [The Hill]
No one is really sure how much Donald Trump's trips to Mar-a-Largo are costing taxpayers but, dear lord, don't eat there. [Associated Press]
Speaking of food, I'm pretty certain that despite his dumb trolling, Donald Trump Jr. has never eaten at a Chick-fil-A. [Talking Points Memo]
A reporter went deep on Ivanka Trump's Passover Insta. [Twitter]
The Anti-Defamation League has offered to teach Sean Spicer and other White House staffers about the Holocaust. [WSJ]
Huma Abedin is maybe shopping a book for the reasonable price of $2 million. [The Hollywood Reporter]
No thank you, Martin O'Malley. [USA Today]
Here are some tweets that the president was allowed to publish:
This has been Barf Bag.

BkiUccDxK7ICUuXekYoe | Andrea Miller – Singer, Songwriter, Producer – Soulful, Hypnotic, Endearing
Andrea Miller – www.AndreaMillerSings.com
"A brilliant young singer" – Al Jarreau
Andrea Miller's voice has been described as soulful, sensual, hypnotic and endearing. In 2020 she became a Top 5 Finalist in the International Sarah Vaughan Jazz Vocal Competition. Influenced by Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughan and Stevie Wonder, Andrea is currently heating up the international jazz scene and radio stations.
Andrea opened for the legendary Al Jarreau at many concerts before he passed including the Newport Beach Jazz Festival. She received a standing ovation and gracious compliments from Jarreau and his band and was set to tour with and open for him in Europe 2017, just prior to his passing.
In 2020 Andrea headlined Bemol 5 Jazz club in Lyon, France. In 2019 she headlined Jazz De Polanco Festival in Mexico City and Jazz at LACMA in Los Angeles. In 2018 Andrea headlined the Newport Beach Jazz Party Series, and in 2017 she headlined the Utah Arts Festival, the Salt Lake City Jazz Festival and the Newport Beach Summer Jazz Series with the Tom Kubis Big Band.
A member of SAG and ASCAP, Andrea's performances have gained critical acclaim at venues such as The Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Pasadena Jazz Institute, Baked Potato, Spaghettini, Catalina Jazz Club, Vibrato, Casselberry Jazz Festival and others.
Andrea had the honor to work with David Foster, Quincy Jones and Alan & Marilyn Bergman when recording a vocal demo for CELINE DION "I Knew I Loved You". Originally trained in opera at a young age, Andrea won first place in the Oregon State Vocal Competition first soprano category when only 14 years old. She then went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts from USC.
In addition to performing, Andrea keeps busy recording as a session singer. Her voice can be heard on recordings by Disney/Pixar, Paramount Pictures, NBC, ABC, Samsung, Warner Brothers, EMI, Mattel Toys, and others.
In 2021 Andrea released her fifth album "Time to Stay" with the San Gabriel 7. Her other albums available online are "Maybe Today", "II By II", "Andrea Miller Featuring the Salt Lake City Jazz Orchestra", "Soulful Dream", "Imagine – EP", "Fly Like an Eagle – EP" and "Andrea – EP".
"As my countdown to stage got smaller and smaller, I started to hear some marvelous music coming from the stage, floating through my dressing room window. Our opening act was a brilliant young singer named Andrea Miller. The whole band was impressed with her song selection, with her bandmates, arrangements and her jazz sensibilities. I enjoyed listening the little bit I got to, and the band enjoyed their even closer look." (Al Jarreau)
"As I told Andrea after she sang The Masquerade is Over, she owns that tune. In all my years in this business playing with the best jazz singers Carmen McRae, Anita O'Day, Peggy Lee etc., I never heard anyone sing it as good." (Pat Senatore)
"Andrea will get to your heart even if she sings in the middle of a boat in the sea. What she does has nothing to do with being in L.A., London, Paris or whatever. It has to do with artistic commitment and love for every note she sings, and that's how great artists act, don't you think?" (IAC.com)
"She's very charming, personable and attractive and sings with a lot of emotion". "Her delivery is soft and sensual, almost hypnotic. She sings with confidence". (L.A. Jazz Scene)
"Everybody's heard the old standard, 'Cry Me A River,' every long, drawn-out sob story milked within an inch of its life. Miller as the vocalist gives each line just the right amount of pathos, verve, and snap. She isn't the kind of singer to wallow in the pitiful aspects, but to turn up the rebound several notches for a refreshing take." (AXS)
"Listening to her music, it is easy to see why she was honored, her honest, touching lyrics are delivered by her strong, soulful voice in such a divine way that you can't help but be drawn in. After seeing her flawless live performance of the old standard 'My Funny Valentine', I realized that this is one artist who deserves all the accolades and awards she gets. Andrea has a captivating quality about her that commands your attention and earns your praise. Andrea is definitely an artist worth listening to." (Indie-Connections.com)
"One listen to Andrea Miller's 21st century update of "Angel Eyes," will endear you to this song all over again." (AXS)

BkiUd0LxK6-gDyrT936V | White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert is leaving the Trump administration, another departure during what has been a chaotic few months of personnel changes.
Bossert, a favorite of Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, is leaving one day after national security adviser John Bolton began the job. Bossert was believed to be on shaky footing in the Bolton era, and he resigned two days after Michael Anton, the National Security Council spokesman, also quit.
Bossert's resignation was requested by Bolton, according to three people familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal personnel issues. Bolton himself conveyed that request to Bossert on Tuesday morning when Bossert walked into the office, the people said.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders declined to comment on whether Bossert was pushed out.
Bossert joins a growing list of officials who have left the administration in recent months as the historically high staff turnover rate continues under Trump.
So far this year, the president has changed his secretary of state, national security adviser, veterans affairs secretary, CIA director, chief economic adviser, staff secretary, communications director and members of his legal team.
Bossert and former national security adviser H.R. McMaster feuded bitterly throughout their tenure in the White House in meetings that on occasion devolved into screaming, according to people familiar with their relationship who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the situation. McMaster and others in the White House were particularly frustrated that Bossert was slow to move forward with a strategy to both defend the United States and punish Russia for its efforts to interfere in U.S. elections.
Bossert has publicly taken issue with assertions that the Trump administration has not imposed sufficient costs on Russia.
Bossert, who also served in the George W. Bush administration, wasn't a marquee name, but he was liked by the president, senior administration officials said, and often defended Trump's agenda in meetings and in interviews with the media.
His most public role came during last summer's hurricane season, when he often appeared in the White House briefing room and on TV. When the administration was facing heavy criticism for its response to the hurricane that devastated Puerto Rico, Bossert was one of the officials put forward to defend the president.
"I understand the coverage, in some cases, is giving the appearance that we're not moving fast enough," Bossert said on Sept. 28. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdc45ixsDMS2a6FMQ | You might remember from last week that Susannah Breslin was asking young female journalists for their best pitches. She has now selected a winner and five runners-up.
You can read about the runners up here but we wanted to call out the qualities of the winner because she sounds like a truly interesting young woman.
Lauren covers a variety of stories but also goes deep into anime fandom to cover stories about this subculture, which is one that doesn't normally get a lot of attention in mainstream media. She's interviewed workers at a maid cafe at an anime convention and spoken with Lolitas on the National Mall. (If you don't know what these things are, well, there's always Wikipedia.) Her story will appear on Susannah's blog later this month. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

UK ministers told to root out money-wasting - PM Johnson's spokesman
LONDON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - British ministers were told on Tuesday to root out waste in government spending, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's spokesman said, adding that a March 11 budget announcement will take tough decisions to prepare the economy for the next decade.
The spokesman told reporters that Johnson and finance minister Sajid Javid briefed a meeting of senior ministers that the budget would focus on delivering on promises made in the campaign ahead of last month's election.

BkiUbXU5qsFAfmG_YHDW | StoneLaurel offers major retailer fresh vision and strategy to propel HR department forward for the near and long-term.
In 2014, a major southeastern retailer's Chief People Officer was eight months into the job and seeking direction. She wanted a long-term vision to propel the HR department forward, and to have the time to focus on that, she also required a near-term plan that would alleviate immediate operational challenges. In addition, she wanted to eliminate operations inefficiencies and find a better way for HR leadership to organize and address priority matters.
The CPO turned to StoneLaurel to get her department on track. StoneLaurel assembled a team with expert knowledge in executive relationship management and PMO and governance development and management. They began in-depth discussions with the CPO and her key lieutenants to understand the company's culture, hopes, and challenges. Then consultants analyzed HR processes, governance routines, and team goals.Following the interviews and analyses, consultants coached HR members and showed leadership how to use new project governance tools. They wrote and implemented an annual performance planning process and documented the CPO's annual goals. The consultants then developed a 3-5 year strategy framework. In addition, they showed leadership new data and analytics methods to help them understand how to position employees in roles that would maximize their strengths, their engagement, the customer's experience, and perhaps most importantly— revenue.
The CPO and HR department now have a realistic, practical strategy they employ – with much success – to help them, and the major retailer they support, thrive. Leadership found significant value in the personal coaching. New project governance tools gave the department direction and a more efficient way to process work intake, approval, prioritization, and the pipeline management for all of HR's work. The CPO's updated annual goals ensure that she will lead the department toward success for the next three to five years, and team members are deploying StoneLaurel's long-term plan with great success. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbSY5qg5A53r24lM- | This week is cervical cancer awareness week and so the dreaded Smear is top of mind. Let's face it, nobody likes getting it done but nonetheless it's so important for all women from the age of 25 and we are lucky to live in a country where there is great free screening.
I was always the worst offender for dodging my smear tests, using pregnancies and every excuse i could think of to get out of it. I even waited until my last day of being 25 to get my first test done. I'm not alone though, i recently learnt that a very level-headed friend gets herself so worked up about it that she has to take valium beforehand.
Book your free smear in a clinic or GP surgery that you don't go to,i find the anonymity helps. There is nothing worse than your GP/nurse asking after your Ma whilst she's scraping your cervix to make the whole experience even more awkward.
Book your test for first thing in the morning and on a day that you are really busy and have lots on. That way you will have it over first thing in the morning, and if you have lots on you will be distracted by all the other things that you have to do after the test.
Take a couple of paracetamol 40 mins before your appointment.
Pop a few drops of rescue remedy on your tongue just before you go into your appointment.
Once the test starts, get your yogic breathing going. Take a really slow deep breaths in through your nose and out through through your mouth. Focus on those nice, loud and noisy breaths and before you know it the test will be over.
Enjoy the nice smug feeling that it's over and that if the results are clear you are off the hook for a couple of years.
Buy yourself a treat afterwards, i usually opt for chocolate.
If you are overdue a test or not sure when your next one is, you can check and book one easily on www.cervicalcheck.ie .
Go on, just do it and get it over and done with! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUf7HxK0wg09KOZsWI | Special Music School (SMS, PS 859) is a K-12 public school that teaches music as a core subject on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City. The school is run as a public/private partnership between the New York City Department of Education and Kaufman Music Center, a not-for-profit, multi-arts organization. The Department of Education funds the academic portion of the students' education, while the music program is funded by private donations through Kaufman Music Center.
Operations
Intended for children with high musical potential, Special Music School provides a rich musical and demanding academic education for grades K-12 through an integrated curriculum with a primary focus on music. In the lower and middle school's children have two private lessons per week in piano, cello, violin, flute, French horn, trumpet, trombone, percussion, or clarinet, as well as classes in music theory, chorus, and movement. Three quarters of the students' time is spent on academic subjects. The school has partnerships with the National Dance Institute, the Center for Educational Innovation, New Visions for Public Schools, Studio in a School, Teachers College, Columbia University and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Special Music School also has a high school at the Martin Luther King Jr. Educational Campus on the Upper West Side, with a music curriculum that emphasizes the development of the student as a musician for the 21st century. With the establishment of the high school extension, Special Music School High School is the city's only K-12 school that teaches music as a core subject. The music program covers the subjects of music theory, music history, and music technology. SMS had their first high school graduating class in 2017 with 100% graduation and college success rate.
Students from all five boroughs of New York City are eligible to apply for admission, across all grades in lower and upper schools, which is by audition. Admission is extremely competitive, and the lower school kindergarten class gets approximately 700 applicants for 15 spaces. The total enrollment for all grades (K-12) is approximately 315 students. SMS consistently ranks among the top NYC public schools, based on student academic performance on New York State assessments.
History
The school was founded in 1996 and originally called The Special Music School of America. Inspired by the "spets-shkola," special music school system of the former Soviet Union, many original members of the music faculty are Russian-conservatory trained musicians.
In the fall of 2006 Special Music School established the after-school Young Artist Program for grades 9–12. It offers music students intensive after-school study courses. Each week students have classes covering literature and composition, music theory, and ear-training. Students also perform in chamber music and solo recitals.
In 2005, former Special Music School Director Jenny Undercofler founded Face the Music, initially an 8-member after school music ensemble, and now NYC's only "alt classical" teen ensemble composed of 75 students from music students in the tri-state area aged 10 to 18. In 2011 ASCAP awarded its Aaron Copland Award to both Face the Music and Jenny Undercofler.
Sports
There are no sports teams for K-8 students, who are discouraged from joining sports teams outside of school. Instead, students are encouraged and expected to devote most of their extracurricular time to practicing their instrument, joining high-level music ensembles in the city and/or making use of Kaufman Music Center's Lucy Moses School classes as well as concerts at Merkin Concert Hall.
However, in high school, Special Music School offers students the opportunity to participate in many different sports. The schools in the Martin Luther King Jr. Educational Campus are all represented in one team within the Public School Athletic League (PSAL).

BkiUcibxK4sA-46xNYbo | I Want "Healthy Beautiful" Legs!
Are you one those that have said, "Wow, she has nice toned shapely Legs, or Wow, he has a nice set of Legs!"
Yes, relatively few of us are truly blessed by nature with naturally great looking legs.
Our "genealogy" plays a large part in whether or not you have nice healthy legs. Vascular problems may run in your family. Some experts believe there is a weakness in the gene that governs the development of the veins. Could be defects in the structure of valves and veins…in some people a decrease in the number of valves in the veins. If this is the case, if you are over weight or do heavy lifting this causes an overload on our veins in our legs, causing numerous (ugly and painful) problems to occur in our legs.
If you find a history of varicose veins in your family, the SOONER you follow preventive care for your legs, the better and safer your legs will be.
The "Good News" there's numerous ways to help keep our legs healthy, shapely and pleasing to the eye.
· Exercise…Get Moving – Get that "toned look" get those muscles working in the lower limbs to contract and push blood through the veins and back to the heart…which doctors agree can lessen the symptoms of varicose veins. Easy way to accomplish this is walking, hiking, swimming cycling or similar activities 3 to 4 times a week, doing a 30 to 45 minute workout. It's always good to consult with your physician to get recommendations.
· Avoid standing or sitting "long" periods of time… Depending on your occupation. If possible get up or exercise your legs by lifting them up above the level of your heart (6 to 12 inches).
· Flex your Feet - Stand on your toes and flex the heel up and down ten times. This helps stimulate blood circulation in your legs and "yes" will improve the appearance of your Legs!
· Hydrate your Body properly – The old "8 x 8 rule" …Drink eight 8 ounces glasses of water each day.
AVOID...a severe limit consumption of sugar, caffeinated and alcoholic beverages.
· Avoid Crossing Legs - Sitting with your legs crossed can slow circulation to and from your lower legs.
· Desk Job, Check your Seat - If you sit in a chair with a seat that is too deep for your leg length: The front edge of the chair digs into the back of your knees, compressing blood vessels and restricting blood flow. Get a chair that fits your body better, or scoot your backside away from the chairs back until the pressure on your legs is relieved.
· Wear Compression Stockings – Improve your "blood circulation" help avoid your veins from "working" so hard…trying to transport the blood back to your heart. Yes…WEAR…Compression Stockings to help prevent or reduce any swelling, spider veins or varicose veins in your legs.
Compression Stockings can make you feel better about the way your legs look.
Feel "Energized" All Day Long!!! Check out todays fashionable compression and support hose for the traditional and professional work places.
The "TRUTH IS" our legs are very important and should not be neglected. They carry and support us every day of our entire life. Be good to your legs, they deserve our attention and we should care about their well-being! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

Hundreds of French academics sign letter asking for safeguards on contact tracing
A group of 471 French cryptography and security researchers has signed a letter to raise awareness about the potential risks of a contact-tracing app. A debate in the French parliament will take place tomorrow to talk about all things related to post-lockdown — including contact-tracing app StopCovid.
Among the group of researchers, 77 of them are affiliated with Inria, the French research institute that has been working on the contact-tracing protocol that will power the government-backed contact-tracing app, ROBERT. With this letter, it appears that Inria is conflicted about ROBERT.
"All those applications induce very important risks when it comes to protecting privacy and individual rights," the letter says. "This mass surveillance could be done by collecting the interaction graph of individuals — the social graph. It could happen at the operating system level on the phones. Not only operating system makers could reconstruct the social graph, but the state could as well, more or less easily depending on the approaches."
The letter also mentions a thorough analysis of centralized and decentralized implementations of contact-tracing protocols. It includes multiple attack scenarios and undermines both the DP-3T protocol as well as ROBERT.
Ahead of the debate in the French parliament tomorrow, researchers say that "it is essential to thoroughly analyze the health benefits of a digital solution with specialists — there should be important evidence in order to justify the risks incurred."
Researchers also ask for more transparency at all levels — every technical choice should be documented and justified. Data collection should be minimized and people should understand the risks and remain free not to use the contact-tracing app.
Over the past few weeks, multiple groups of researchers in Europe have been working on different protocols. In particular, DP-3T has been working a decentralized protocol that leverages smartphones to compute social interactions. Ephemeral IDs are stored on your device and you can accept to share ephemeral IDs with a relay server to send them to the community of app users.
PEPP-PT has been backing a centralized protocol that uses pseudonymization to match contacts on a central server. A national authority manages the central server, which could lead to state surveillance if the protocol isn't implemented properly. ROBERT is a variant of PEPP-PT designed by French and German researchers.
While the French government has always been cautious about the upsides of a contact-tracing app, there's been little debate about the implementation. Inria, with official backing from the French government, and Fraunhofer released specifications for the ROBERT protocol last week.
Many (including me) have called out various design choices, as you have to trust your government that they're not doing anything nefarious without telling you — a centralized approach requires a lot of faith from the end users as the government holds a lot of data about your social interactions and your health. Sure, it's pseudonymized, but it's not anonymized, despite what the ROBERT specification document says.
Moreover, ROBERT doesn't leverage Apple and Google's contact-tracing API that is in the works. France's digital minister, Cédric O, has been trying to put some pressure on Apple over Bluetooth restrictions with a Bloomberg interview. Given that Apple and Google provide an API for decentralized implementations, they have little incentive to bow to French pressure.
On Sunday, Germany announced that it would abandon its original plans for a centralized architecture in favor of a decentralized approach, leaving France and the U.K. as the two remaining backers of a centralized approach.
France's data protection watchdog CNIL released a cautious analysis of ROBERT, saying that the protocol could be compliant with GDPR. But it says it will need further details on the implementation of the protocol to give a definitive take on StopCovid.
The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) also said on Twitter that the debate in front of the French parliament is particularly important. "Decisions will have an impact not only on the immediate future but as well on years to come," they say.

France is officially working on Stop Covid contact-tracing app
France's health minister Olivier Véran and digital minister Cédric O have officially announced that the French government is working on a smartphone app to slow the spread of COVID-19. The government is putting a stamp of approval on the Pan-European Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing (PEPP-PT) project but remains cautious about what to expect from an app.
Using mobile apps to track the coronavirus is a sensitive issue in Europe. Dozens of nonprofit organizations have written a common statement urging governments to respect human rights.
They fear that governments could use this opportunity to enforce far-reaching surveillance measures that don't comply with the regulatory framework and that remain in place after the coronavirus crisis. The European Commission reminded governments that they should implement "appropriate safeguards" as EU citizens are not going to trust contact-tracing apps if they don't treat personal information appropriately.
That's probably why the government is preventively trying to reassure people before releasing the Stop Covid app. According to a statement, the Ministry for the Digital Sector says that it is working with the Health Ministry, the Justice Ministry and the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation to coordinate tech-based initiatives.
Led by Germany's Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute for telecoms (HHI), the PEPP-PT project that was unveiled last week is a coalition of dozens of research institutions across multiple countries. France's INRIA is a member of the PEPP-PT and the French government is willing to collaborate with the INRIA as part of the PEPP-PT effort.
They're working on an open standard to develop contact-tracing apps. Those apps would rely on Bluetooth Low Energy to identify other phones running the same app. If, at some point, you are near an infected person, you would be notified.
And the French government says that there will be an app specifically designed to track people living in France. That app will leverage the PEPP-PT protocol.
People in favor of contact-tracing apps say that it would help break infection chains if you combine those apps with proactive tests and self-isolations.
In an interview with Le Monde, Cédric O and Olivier Véran detailed the effort. France isn't going to force you to install the app and "Stop Covid" is only going to use Bluetooth. A prototype is in the works, but it's going to take three to six weeks to develop.
Even then, the French government might not even release the app. "We're not sure that we can overcome all the technical difficulties because Bluetooth hasn't been designed to measure the distance between individuals. We will decide later if it would be useful to roll out such an application or not," Cédric O told Le Monde .
When it comes to privacy, Cédric O says the app will be open-source and France's privacy watchdog the CNIL will have a say. We've reached out to the CNIL for comment but the agency said it was too early to comment.
More importantly, details are still thin on the implementation of the PEPP-PT protocol in France. Privacy experts are debating the design of the system. Some argue that it should be as decentralized as possible. Smartphones should keep a log of your social interactions (via ephemeral Bluetooth identifiers). Your phone would regularly fetch a list of infected ephemeral Bluetooth identifiers and do the heavy lifting.
The PEPP-PT project currently supports centralized and decentralized approaches, which means that governments have to decide on an implementation. In a centralized system, a server would assign each user an anonymized identifier and collect data about your social interactions. Each user would be able to fetch the status of its identifier to check whether they've been potentially infected or not. It creates a single point of failure and presents risks if someone is able to match anonymized identifiers with real names.
EU privacy experts push a decentralized approach to COVID-19 contacts tracing
The Ministry for the Digital Sector also detailed how France is leveraging tech in general to understand the coronavirus outbreak, improve COVID-19 treatments and plan the end of the lockdown in France.
In addition to the app that is currently in the works, the French government has rolled out an official website to inform people, is encouraging telemedicine services to treat patients (such as Covidom from public hospitals in Paris), is mining aggregated data from telecom companies to understand how people move around the country and is leveraging machine learning on big data to forecast the coronavirus outbreak.

BkiUdZQ5qsBDAJXqEg0_ | Recent Changes to FOIA are Government-Friendly
Saturday, September 03, 2011 Julie Tappendorf
House Bill 1716, recently signed into law on August 26, 2011, made three significant changes to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
The first change extends the time period from five days to 21 days for responding to requests filed by "recurrent requesters." Specific triggers for identifying a requestor as a recurrent requestor are set out in the new law. News media and non-profit, academic, and scientific organizations are expressly exempted from this definition.
The second change authorizes public bodies to charge a fee of $10 per hour after the first 8 hours for personnel costs when responding to commercial requests. This change also eliminates commercial requests from review by the Public Access Counselor.
The third change eliminates the pre-approval process for the "personal privacy" or "draft document" exemptions. Under the previous language, public bodies could not deny a request based on either of these two exemptions without the consent of the Public Access Counselor.

Race talk spurred by recent shootings must be ongoing conversation

With the recent tragic killings in this country —including the killings of black men by police in Louisiana and Minnesota and the death of five police officers in Dallas— the topic of race has become more prominent.
People are talking, and it's not just people of color who are taking to social media to be heard. People from all walks of life are joining the much-needed conversation on race. And that's important.
Though many are calling for positive change, there are still those who spew expected and tired divisive rhetoric, including sadly, some state leaders. Still, the conversations have become more diverse since last week's shootings. The evidence is all over the internet. Whites, Blacks, Latinos, Asians — all talking about the same thing: unity and ending police brutality. Here in Central Texas, some have taken to writing their local newspapers, including Kimmie Fink, an education consultant in Temple. (Find the short op-ed she sent to Statesman Viewpoints below).
All this talk about creating a more just nation for all Americans is healthy. The key to real change, however, will be in keeping the conversation going long after the next issue steals the headlines.
The dialogue that has grown since the deaths of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and officers Brent Thompson, Lorne Ahrens, Michael J. Smith, Michael Krol and Patrick Zamarripa must continue. Otherwise, their deaths will have been in vain. Only by ending division can we truly honor their lives.
Some Central Texans have taken the time to send us correspondence to express these positive sentiments. Here are text from two letters received:
Fink's full op-ed follows:
Kimmie Fink
I keep hoping that someday I'll wake up and not read about another Black American being killed by a police officer. Given recent events, that seems less and less likely. On Wednesday, July 5th, Alton Sterling was pinned to the ground by two White officers outside a Baton Rouge convenience store and shot in the chest at point-blank range. Just one day later, Philando Castile of Minnesota was fatally shot during a traffic stop while reaching for his identification. Sterling and Castile were murdered. Before we could even begin to mourn, five police officers were killed by snipers at a peaceful protest in Dallas the following day.
I am physically sickened by the horrific ambush on Dallas police, but I worry about how it will change the conversation. I have to believe that we can honor the sacrifice of police officers while also demanding that police brutality be addressed. Because it's clear that the criminal justice system in this country is broken. According to Campaign Zero, police in the United States killed 1,100 people in 2014. Black people are killed by police at a rate disproportionate to both their criminal activity and percentage of the population. Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Gardner…the list of names grows almost daily now, and it seems like news stories of African Americans shot and killed at the hands of police are on perpetual loop.
I watched Tomi Lahren's Final Thoughts on Jesse Williams's BET speech and the Alton Sterling killing. She tells Williams and the Black Lives Matter movement to stop feeling sorry for themselves. That's pretty easy to say from a position of privilege. After all, Lahren isn't a member of a community still suffering from the painful legacy of slavery and a long history of discrimination and violence perpetrated against it. She brands them "cop haters," and I have no doubt the tragedy in Dallas will give her more fuel. She doesn't understand that being pro-cop and pro-Black Lives Matter aren't mutually exclusive. Rather, we recognize that police officers, due to the nature of their work, wield a great degree of power, so we should hold them accountable when that power is abused.
The double standard is evident to anyone who cares to look. This kind of thing simply doesn't happen to White people. Jesse Williams was right. Police do "manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people every day." In January, armed White men seized government property at the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. It was 24 days before anyone was arrested (one militant was killed during the confrontation). Take a look at how we treat White criminals as well. Stanford swimmer and RAPIST Brock Turner got only 6 months for sexual assault. White teen Ethan Couch killed four people in a drunk driving accident and got probation (which he later violated) to rehabilitate him for his "affluenza."
When African Americans are killed by White police officers, some are quick to point out if they were guilty of prior offenses. Frankly, that's irrelevant. When did we become a society that blames the victims? Women are blamed for their own rapes because they drank alcohol. The murders of transgender people are brushed aside because they are "provocative" targets. Black teenagers who are pulled over should just "get out of the car." The other argument I keep hearing is "All Lives Matter." Well, of course they do. But no one has to be told that White lives matter. The Black Lives Matter movement exists because the criminal justice system has made it clear that their lives are less valuable than White lives.
I stand with the fallen police officers and good cops across the country, but I also stand with Alton Sterling and Philando Castille's family and friends and with Black Lives Matter. Because I am not a member of the Black community, I can never truly understand the depth of their sorrow nor the anger and fear they must feel. Those of us who live under the umbrella of relative security that is Whiteness must speak up and ensure that while we mourn the loss of the Dallas officers, we don't allow what happened to Sterling and Castile to be swept under the rug. To quote the late Elie Wiesel, "We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

When will black lives matter?
In this July 5, 2016, photo made from video, Alton Sterling is detained by two Baton Rouge police officers outside a convenience store in Baton Rouge, La. Moments later, one of the officers shot and killed Sterling. (Arthur Reed via AP)
I promised myself that I would not watch the video of Alton Sterling's death at the hands of a Baton Rouge police officer. Even in the still photos of Sterling in life, I see the face of every black man I know — my 39-year-old brother, my male cousins, my college classmates, my friends.
Instead, I watched the video of Sterling's widow speak at a press conference while her 15-year-old son sobbed next to her. I saw not just a boy reeling from the loss of his father, but the realization of a boy on the cusp of becoming a man that he too faces the same peril. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong cop.
WATCH: Who was Alton Sterling?
Then to be greeted this morning by news of a second police shooting death, even more egregious than the first. A black man stopped for a broken taillight in a suburb of St. Paul, Minn., shot with a 4-year-old in the back seat and his girlfriend sitting next to him. By witness accounts Philando Castile had a license to carry a handgun — a fact that he disclosed to the officer as he had been trained to do. His girlfriend streamed the aftermath on Facebook Live, which has received more than 2 million views by Thursday morning.
Just as Roxanne Gay in today's New York Times writes, I am also "so very tired." I am distraught that two years of videos and outcry seems to have made little difference in the outcomes of these cases. It is one thing to talk quietly among family about how to be cautious in your dealings with police because you know the threat is real; it is entirely another to be bludgeoned month after month on social media by graphic images of case after tragic case with seemingly no end in sight.
Gay wrote:
We know what happens now because this brand of tragedy has become routine. The video of Mr. Sterling's death allows us to bear witness, but it will not necessarily bring justice. There will be protest as his family and community try to find something productive to do with sorrow and rage. Mr. Sterling's past will be laid bare, every misdeed brought to light and used as justification for police officers choosing to act as judge, jury and executioner — due process in a parking lot.
While gun rights activists and the National Rifle Association sanctimoniously argue about preservation of their Second Amendment Rights and their recent victories in Texas over campus carry and open carry, I know that I will never carry a firearm any further than a gun range. I also know that I will tell my daughters to never ride in a car with a firearm, whether the owner is licensed or not. Why? Because the "hero" image in the fight for open carry and gun rights in Texas is a white man in boots, not a black man in a hoodie.

There are problems that our society has no idea how to fix — and the issues of race and policing are in that category. Body cameras help, better training helps, community policing helps, but these are not complete solutions. Ridding ourselves of these senseless shootings requires a degree of honesty about cultural bias, white privilege and perceptions about black and brown people that I'm not confident our society can muster. And as long as the immediate (and human) instinct is to draw a weapon in the face of fear, it is inevitable that an officer will eventually shoot to kill without cause.
I watched both shooting videos this morning so that I could write this column. With each viewing I feel a small sliver of hope and optimism about the future for my daughters and my nephews being sliced away. But this is my job, so I can only hope that one day there are no more videos to watch, not because no one is brave enough to film, but because there is no longer anything to see.
