Information Security acts as a steward for the university when responding to reports of copyright infringement. As a team dedicated to maintaining the integrity and survivability of the university's network, we will act on each notice and investigate each incident to validate reports. When the report of copyright violation is found to be valid, we will act to disable the offending host on our network. We will also send a report of the incident to the Dean of Students (in the event that a student is the offending party) or to the Employee Relations Director (in the case of a staff member).
Reports of copyright infringement violations should be submitted to Information Security by sending mail to abuse-dmca@depaul.edu. We require a digitally signed message that allows us to verify your identity.
The Digital Millenium Copyright Act
The Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) focuses on the protection of an authors' rights to intellectual property in a digital age. The Act was passed by the U.S. Congress on 12 Oct 1998 and signed into Public Law 105-304 on 28 Oct 28 1998 by President William Clinton. The DMCA was designed primarily to sufficiently address the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) treaties signed at the Geneva conference during December of 1996. The DMCA is, by far, the largest Act to supersede pre-existing U.S. copyright law in more than a generation. DMCA highlights include the following:
Outlaws the circumvention of anti-piracy techniques employed by software creators while outlawing the creation, distribution and deployment of "code-cracking" devices built specifically for the circumvention of anti-piracy measures.
Permits the research and testing of such copyright protection devices to assess their encryption measures, interoperability and security integrity.
Limits the distribution of unauthorized or unlicensed copyrighted material including provisions for service providers to limit copyright infringement liability through preventing further spread of copyrighted material and removing such material from hosts, where necessary. Further, limits the liability of higher education institutions in the event they provide connectivity services for faculty and graduate level students.
Requires specific licensing fees to be properly distributed towards artists and authors during Internet broadcasts.
DePaul University, as a service provider for students, faculty and staff, must honor the DMCA in accordance with applicable laws.
Preventing P2P Copyright Infringement
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have become a commonplace for the exchange of material ranging from movies, music, images, software and more. One of the frst vendors of wide-scale P2P networks was Napster, Inc, with others such as Aimster, Gnutella, KaZaA, Limewire and others following closely after. P2P sharing can also be performed by using the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) via the Direct Client to Client (DCC) protocol, a method in existence since the early conception of IRC networks.
Configuration errors are easy to make with P2P software, and we have seen cases of users unwittingly sharing their entire hard drive on the P2P network. Check your configuration carefully to ensure you are not sharing anything you hadn't intended to and that you are not illegally sharing any copyrighted material.
While you are on DePaul's network, we strongly urge you to disable file sharing in your P2P client. In most clients, this can be performed through an explicit option being set in the configuration preferences, or through changing the number of "allowed uploads" to zero (0).

League of Legends – 2020 Worlds Championship Review
by David Black
Image source - Pexels.com
Time for a brief history lesson to give everyone a background about how League of Legends evolved to where it is now. The first official "Worlds" tournament of season 1 was in 2011. The teams consisted of three NA teams, three EU teams and two SEA teams (from the Philippines and Singapore).
Two EU teams made it to the finals with FNC winning (after going 1-2 in group stage) and TSM finishing third for NA, which is a fact that EU fans like to remind NA fans of to this day. EU would see a six-year drought before another finals appearance and NA has never made it to the finals.
It did not take long for the Asian regions to assert their dominance from that point forward with a Taiwanese team Taipei Assassins from the now defunct LMS region winning season 2 and the infamous SKT T1 winning season 3.
It was not until 2014 that Worlds would take the shape as we know it today (and for the Super 4 regions LPL, LCK, EU and NA to become established). In the main Worlds tournament there are four groups of four teams that compete in a double round robin BO1 format.
Each of the top two teams from the groups advance to the bracket stage of the tournament where three rounds of BO5 play determine the Worlds winner. The path to qualification for the Worlds tournament has been changed for each region many times throughout the years.
Since 2014-2019, there have been a maximum of three teams for the CN, KR, EU and NA regions (with additional teams from the LMS or PCS). In 2017, the Play In stage of Worlds was added to allow a better chance for teams outside of the major four regions to qualify for Worlds.
In the 2020 Worlds, CN and EU (the two regions with the best two-year cumulative performance) have received an opportunity to qualify an unprecedented fourth team. There have been no new regions added to Worlds this year.
The PCS (a combination of the former LMS and SEA regions) was hardest hit this year dropping a combined four seeds in 2019 (two direct seeds and two play in seeds) to two seeds (one direct and one play in) for 2020. The VN region is unable to travel/compete due to COVID restrictions.
The dominance of the top four regions (CN = LPL, EU = LEC, KR = LCK and NA = LCS) is easily visualized by looking at their domination in both the Worlds main and play in tournaments (from 2014-2019 for Worlds and from 2017-2019 for the play ins).
Of the regions that have fielded three teams in each Worlds since 2014, NA has performed the most poorly advancing two teams to the quarterfinals, one team to the semifinals and no teams to the finals. NA also failed to advance from group stage in 2015 and 2019.
KR and CN have been traditionally the strongest regions although EU has outperformed KR in the past two years. No region outside of the top four have advanced teams past the group stage since 2017.
The play in seeds from CN, EU and KR have advance more teams (6) in three years than NA (5) has advanced in the last six years. This is another mark of how poorly NA has performed compared to the other three top regions.
Dating back to 2014, here have been the results.
Here is what the 2020 Worlds group stage draws like.

Why this PE exhaust maker is SA's best factory
10 July 2019 | Web Article Number: ME201915316
THE first Factory of the Year (FotY) award has been presented to Eberspächer South Africa.
The jury acknowledged the Port Elizabeth-based manufacturer of exhaust systems as being a highly efficient manufacturer, with a balanced score across all dimensions assessed, scoring within the top quintile of global benchmarks within the "Quality" dimension. In addition, the company's advanced use of robotics and automation has brought about efficiency gains for the factory in recent years.
Four "excellence" awards were given to participants which performed exceptionally well in a specific dimension of the FotY competition. Columbus Stainless was recognised for Excellence in Large Scale Production with Nyamezela Metering acknowledged for Excellence in Small Scale Production. The Excellence in Digitisation award was given to Atlantis Foundries and Nampak (Bevcan Rosslyn) won the award for Excellence in Resource Efficiency.
Factory of the Year is a global annual benchmarking competition that has been running for over 25 years and, according to its organisers, is recognised as the toughest benchmarking test for companies in the production arena.
The competition has benchmarks and best practices from over 2,000 factories across all industries and over 30 countries. This initiative was launched in 2018 in South Africa by A.T. Kearney in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Manufacturing Circle and Manufacturing Indaba.
Igor Hulak, Partner at A.T. Kearney, said the current dynamics of the globalising world presents a challenge for all manufacturing operations, and specifically within the South African manufacturing environment where a strong sector has immense downstream impact.
"More than ever, companies have to find the right balance in their manufacturing footprint and global value chain design. To successfully sustain and grow production, achieving and maintaining world-class excellence requires every manufacturer to relentlessly and continually pursue efficiency improvements," he said.
"But nowadays, that is not enough. The 4th Industrial Revolution is not a theoretical term any longer, yet to be somehow understood. As such the local manufacturing community can no longer shy away from the pace of adoption of the 4IR technologies on shop floors, which has been dramatically increasing over the past three years.
Though the South African sector in general has a relatively wide performance gap to close, we have been very pleased to see that the top awardees in this country can withstand direct comparison with world-class performance and standards on the evaluated dimensions."
Hulak added that the idea of identifying and rewarding world-class performance and providing all participants with a confidential evaluation of their competitive position free of charge is therefore more meaningful and beneficial than ever before.
"FotY is much more than a competition, it is bringing about consciousness of future manufacturing in South Africa, trends and examples of Industry 4.0 solutions that work," said Ilse Karg, Chief Director of Future Industrial Production Technologies, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), one of the organisations which partnered with A.T Kearney for the FotY competition. "Small Businesses and suppliers need to take note of the FOTY award winning companies and the opportunities becoming available from market leaders."
Philippa Rodseth, Executive Director of the Manufacturing Circle said she was inspired by the range and quality of submissions, and to see how applicants compete with international counterparts according to the objective benchmarking process that has been established over several years by administering the competition across various countries.
"This competition is important for the manufacturing sector because it raises the profile of our industry. It is important that the broader public has a better understanding of what different manufacturing businesses entail, from the likes of a foundry dealing with molten metals, to a high-tech facility managing the interface between people and artificial intelligence in a production process," Rodseth said.
Martin Sanne, Executive Manager at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) said all South African manufacturers could learn from this competition as it is not only a benchmark of capability against the world or in South Africa but also against oneself. "It was a pleasure to see the amazing capability of South African manufacturers and I am confident that manufacturing has a great future in South Africa as we have world class capability," he said.

Except for one man, sitting on a bar stool, and he looked like a bum! Bearded, in sweats and a baseball cap, he was hardly the sort of prospect she was after. She decided to play a waiting game, taking a small round table for one against a mirrored wall. Somebody would wander in, looking for a little singles action. Some married man, perhaps

Auctions July 18, 2014 July 18, 2014
Iconic 'Flag Over Reichstag' Leica III camera to be auctioned at Bonhams
Another iconic Leica camera is soon going to come under the hammer at a Bonhams auction. The auction house has previously auctioned some very rare Leica shooters including an extremely sought-after Leica II Luxus camera which is believed to be one of the rarest cameras in the world. This Leica III camera which will be auctioned at the Bonhams Leica Centenary Sale in Hong Kong on 30 November was used by Yevgeni Khaldei to take one of the most iconic images of the World War II. Yevgeni Khaldei who worked as a photo journalist for the official Soviet news agency TASS used this very camera to capture the "Raising a Flag Over The Reichstag" photo.
Khaldei's image was taken on 2 May 1945 shortly after the Reichstag had finally fallen. It is a restaging of the moment when Red Army fighters had first flown the flag over the building two days earlier before the Germans fought back and dislodged them. It is reported that Khaldei had hoped that the image would have the same impact as Joe Rosenthal's famous photograph 'Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima'. The camera, bearing the serial number 257492 is accompanied by an Elmar f/3.5 50mm lens with the serial number 471366 and is estimated to sell at £230,000-340,000 ($400,000-582,000). Bonhams Head of scientific instruments Jon Baddeley said, "It is a great privilege to be selling a camera with such evocative associations. Raising a Flag over the Reichstag is a defining image of victory over evil which affected people deeply at the time and has continued to resonate for later generations."

What does China's crypto crackdown mean for global digital currency?
China is issuing a ban on cryptocurrencies just as it launches its own CBDC, but will this move shake up the world's crypto markets?

China's blanket ban on cryptocurrency has arrived just when the People's Bank of China (Pboc) is planning to issue its own digital currency. The big question is, however, what effect will China's strategy have on global digital currency?
In May 2021, the Chinese government announced a major crackdown on cryptocurrency mining and trading. Previous attempts at curbing China's cryptocurrency sector had focused primarily on exchanges and associated businesses. By concurrently planning to launch the digital yuan, a blockchain-based central bank digital currency (CBDC), the PBoC appears to be harnessing the benefits of cryptocurrency's underlying technology while removing its primary characteristic of anonymised decentralisation that threatens its fiat currency.
What is a central bank digital currency?
CBDCs are cryptographically secure digital currencies issued by central banks. A CBDC's underlying blockchain technology allows transactions for fractions of currency without administration overheads. Every fraction of the digital currency is recorded on an immutable and traceable ledger, for full transparency. The advantage of CBDCs is that they will allow faster, cheaper and fully transparent payment systems.
China has historically dominated global Bitcoin mining operations. If Bitcoin were a country, it would be in the top 30 energy users worldwide, according to the University of Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index with China ranking first at almost double the energy consumption of the US in second place.
Since 2017 the Chinese government has introduced a raft of cryptocurrency regulation prompting major trading exchanges in mainland China (including the world's largest exchange, Binance) to relocate to Hong Kong and elsewhere. Thus began a gradual shift of the global crypto centre of gravity out of China towards Europe and North America.
Chainalysis chief economist Philip Gradwell believes the most recent ban on mining will have a limited effect on global trading because the vast majority of the world's leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, is already mined. Of Bitcoin's 21 million finite supply, 18.7 million bitcoins had been mined by August 2021, according to Blockchain.com.
Gradwell even goes as far as to say that the Chinese Communist Party's ban on crypto may have some positive short-term effects on the global market. China's coal-powered energy use for mining Bitcoin did not sit well with Western investors. "From an ESG perspective, as more mining moves into the US and Europe I think investors can be comfortable that cryptocurrency mining is becoming more environmentally friendly and amenable to regulation if need be," he says.
In addition, Gradwell sees no sudden shock in the global market as Chinese appetite for cryptocurrency was has been declining for some time. "There has been a big transfer of investment away from China; for instance, the recent investment wave in the first quarter of 2020 has been North America and western European-based," he adds.
In fact, China's global share of Bitcoin mining fell from 75.5% in September 2019 to 46% in April 2021, demonstrating that China's mining dominance was waning well before the PBoC's latest crackdown, according to research by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance.
An East/West crypto divide
The PBoC is aiming to launch the largest digital currency project of any major economy, with pilot tests under way since mid-2020 and plans to set it in motion around the 2022 Winter Olympics, which will be hosted in Beijing.
Launching its own CBDC alongside banning cryptocurrency is aligned with the Communist Party's centralised approach of leadership in all aspects of a citizen's life. Cryptocurrency's underlying premise of individual monetary freedom for the holder remains a threat to such centralised monetary systems.
The same blockchain technology that underlies both CBDCs and cryptocurrency will be used according to the ideological differences of the state that implements them, either using the data that digital currencies provide to control and monitor its populations or to disrupt existing banking systems by allowing greater individual freedoms in banking processes.
Is cryptocurrency a threat to global banking systems?
While many applications of blockchain technology – such as non-fungible tokens or smart contracts – can improve the efficiency of industry supply chains, cryptocurrencies are a blockchain application that is inherently destabilising, says GlobalData's head of thematic research, Cyrus Mewawalla. CBDCs have the potential to create an entirely new global banking ecosystem. "I expect many Western countries to be considering the launch of digital currencies because CBDCs give central banks a tool to address the threat from cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin," says Mewawalla.
"China's crackdown on cryptocurrencies mirrors its crackdown on Big Tech and sends the fintech industry a clear message – banking and the monetary policy levers that central banks wield are not going to succumb to disruptive forces," he adds. "Across the world, regulators are likely to regulate cryptocurrencies in some form or another, and soon, for the same reasons as China."
In the US and Europe, regulators are grappling with conflicting definitions of where cryptocurrency lies in the regulatory framework. In the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission sees them as securities, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission calls them commodities, while the Treasury calls them currencies, with even the Internal Revenue Service considering them as property for tax purposes.
However, regulation is unlikely to curb the global appetite for cryptocurrency now that it has entered the mainstream. Once a niche concern, cryptocurrency represents an increased percentage of financial services investment portfolios in the US and Europe. The 2021 US listing of Coinbase, the cryptocurrency trading exchange, reported about 53 million users and a quarterly trading volume of $335bn.
According to Chainalysis, global cryptocurrency adoption grew 2,300% from the third quarter of 2019 to the second quarter of 2021, and by more than 881% from the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2021. Adoption in North America, western Europe and East Asia over the past year has been largely driven by institutional investment, according to Chainalysis, demonstrating a mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrency.
The pandemic prompted a flood of investment in cryptocurrencies by hedge funds, institutional investors and high-profile proponents including Tesla's Elon Musk. Since March 2020, cryptocurrency markets have spawned a new generation of blockchains including Solana, Cardano and Polkadot. All of this has come despite the market's extreme volatility: Bitcoin hit a high of just below $67,000 in October 2021, up from $0.08 in 2010. No matter the threat to traditional banking systems, cryptocurrency is unlikely to be eliminated from free market economies, and China's crackdown, although extreme, is commensurate with the level of perceived threat to existing banking systems in China through its potential transformative effect due to its openness. This provides a message even cryptocurrency sceptics in the West are likely to receive loud and clear.

Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts records
Overview The Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts, (a community-based movement devoted to empowering African Americans and other people of color to enter into the economic and social main stream), began its work in 1917 when a group of citizens led by Eugene Kunkle Jones met to discuss ways to help the growing number of black migrants from the South and immigrants from the West Indies find housing and employment in Boston. Once established, it became an affiliate of the National Urban League and...

BASK Gili Meno - Island property for sale close to Lombok and Bali
BASK Nest – Underwater Sculpture by world renowned Jason DeCaires Taylor
BASK Nest
Location: BASK Gili Meno, Indonesia? Depth: 4m
The hauntingly beautiful sculpture comprises of a circle of 48 life-size figures encircling yet more figures on the sea floor. Designed by Jason deCaires Taylor, the interlocking pieces connect to provide a platform for marine life to colonise and inhabit. As corals continue to form on the pH neutral sculptures, more and more marine life will form.
Gifted to the local community by BASK Gili Meno, the man-made reef is situated in shallow water which is a short swim from the beach. It is fast becoming the number one must see attraction on the Gili Islands, with local boat companies providing regular trips to the sculptures from the surrounding islands.
Behind the Design – Jason DeCaires Taylor?
Jason deCaires Taylor is a sculptor, environmentalist and professional underwater photographer. He became the first of a new generation of artists to shift the concept of the land art movement into the marine environment and is recognised for his eco-friendly underwater sculptures.
Taylor's work spans several continents including the Caribbean, the Canary Islands and even in the Thames in his home country of Britain. Over the past 10 years, he has created several large-scale underwater "Museums" and "Sculpture Parks", with collections of over 850 life-size public works. BASK Nest is the first of its kind in Indonesia.
His work is not only designed to provide public art, but works of art that seek to encourage environmental awareness, instigate social change and lead us to appreciate the breathtaking natural beauty of the underwater world.
"First and foremost, BASK Nest is an environmental space. The figures are arranged in a circular formation as an echo of the circle of life, and they will soon teem with life. Soft corals and sponges should flourish quickly paving the way for delicate hard corals and a fully established reef", said deCaires Taylor.

Reef Rejuvenation and Sustainability Benefits
Sustainability has always been at the forefront of the BASK management team's mind. With forty percent of the world's coral reefs being lost over the past few decades and with scientists predicting more being at risk, BASK commissioned the installation of BASK Nest as a reminder to visitors of the many fragile treasures beneath the sea.
The sculptures are used to instigate growth and the subsequent changes intended to explore the aesthetics of decay, rebirth and metamorphosis. Within the relatively short period, since it was installed, BASK Nest has already become home to corals, sponges and diverse fish species.
As these organisms populate the reef, its overall biomass will increase, with BASK Nest enhancing its resilience and becoming an integral nursery for native species, which in turn is encouraging other marine life. This paves the way for delicate hard corals and eventually, a fully established reef will form safeguarding Gili Meno's fragile ecosystem as well as enhancing the diving and snorkeling experience on the Gili Islands.
What Can You Expect To See?
The warm waters around the islands are teeming with marine life including turtles, moray eels, octopus, cuttlefish, rays, sea snakes, white tip and black tip reef sharks, bumphead, parrot fish and clown fish. At BASK Nest you can expect to see an abundance of clown fish, triggerfish and banner fish to name just a few.
It is not only the fish that attract hundreds of visitors throughout the year, but also the array of soft and hard coral and the incredible underwater photo opportunities.
Most of the boat companies on the Gili Islands will run multiple trips to BASK Nest during the day, but we suggest getting there early to avoid the crowds.
BASK Nest is swimming distance from the shore and is opposite the BASK sign on Gili Meno. With water temperatures of around 28 degrees, your standard swimmers will be fine for viewing it.
Don't forget your snorkel and flippers

West Ham United: Obiang signs new Hammers deal
WEST HAM UNITED have announced that Spanish midfielder, Pedro Obiang, has signed a new five-year contract with the London Stadium side.
Obiang arrived at West Ham from Italian side Sampdoria in summer 2015 and has made more than 50 appearances for Slaven Bilic's side. Speaking to West Ham TV about the new deal, Obiang said: "Over the next five years, we can achieve many, many things but we are going to start from today.
"Of course, I trust the Club and the situation and I know I am in a very good team at a very good Club.
"I have a lot of teammates here and I talked to Manu [Lanzini], Adrian and Angelo [Ogbonna] over the summer when we were on holidays and that's maybe a little bit of the reason I signed a new contract is because I prefer to be here than in another place, because I feel like part of a family here.
"I think here we can do many things. When I start to play, I have confidence and I don't know why the situation changed [last season]. I had the possibility to start and to demonstrate what I wanted to demonstrate in my first season here, but for many reasons I didn't do. Now I have time to do it."

Chinese media and academia debate journalism standards and payment for interviews

In the West it is understood as a matter of course that journalists must not offer cash or other inducements to secure story interviews [Example: LA Times ethics code/SEE "Access"]. In the wilder world of Chinese journalism, however, the lines are not always so clear, and one obstacle facing journalists in recent years has been public figures and academics demanding payment before granting interviews. Summaries of some of the most relevant cases on this issue follow plus a list of arguments pro and con:
The Li Yinhe Case – In March 2006 Guangzhou Daily said one of its reporters was asked to pay an "interview fee" after requesting to meet with Li Yinhe, a researcher from The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. According to the newspaper, Li's rate was 500 yuan per hour (US$60/hr), with no charge for interviews under 15 minutes. The reporter interviewed Li for just over an hour and was asked to pay 500 yuan. Li Yinhe later explained publicly that she began charging in order to discourage a flood of interviews making demands on her time. She said interviews, which require time and energy, should not be granted free of charge. Li cited the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) as an example of media who pay for interviews. In fact, the BBC's code of ethics explicitly states the network must, "Disclose any direct or indirect payment made for interviews" and may not "pay people who act as information sources." [Guangzhou Daily coverage of Li's response available here].[More Chinese coverage here].
The Sun Daolin Case – According to a February 2005 news report by Yangcheng Evening News, when reporters approached film director Sun Daolin about a story on his experiences as a filmmaker and his thoughts on contemporary film, Sun asked to be compensated. The director argued that his speech amounted to a sharing of intellectual property. However, after Yangcheng reporters asked to know what Sun's going rate was, the director said he could not determine this himself and stressed that he was not motivated by personal profit, the newspaper reported. [Yangcheng Evening News report available here].
The China Foreign Affairs University Case – According to a June 2005 report by Beijing Times, academics from China Foreign Affairs University agreed among themselves to demand "interview fees" from media at a minimum rate of 200 yuan per hour (US$25/hr). Their reasoning, according to the newspaper, was that as the interviews addressed the academics' personal research achievements. The university reportedly responded by saying it had no right to interfere in the academics' decisions concerning their personal rights and behavior. [Beijing Times report available here].
Arguments against "interview fees":
A June 2005 editorial in China Youth Daily argued that officials and celebrities have a duty to uphold openness of information. By receiving payment for interviews, they may do harm to their credibility, the editorial said. It added that such exchanges of money are harmful to freedom of expression. [Chinese here].
In July 2005, the Global Times spoke with media organizations from South Korea, the United States, Germany and India and said it had found that payment for interviews fell outside journalism's accepted norms. The newspaper said it had also found that the majority of media believed such behavior compromised the objectivity of reporting and damaged the credibility of experts, as well as serving as a harmful example to society. [Chinese article here].
Also in 2005, professor Zhan Jiang of China Youth University for Political Sciences argued that interview is a two-way process, allowing media to benefit from the expertise of a source and offering the interviewee an opportunity to build their reputation. Academics and officials, he said, should not request payment because in this capacity they serve a "public function". If someone believes an interview will compromise their research achievements, they should refuse the interview rather than asking to be paid. [Chinese coverage here].
Arguments supporting "interview fees":
In March 2005, Legal Daily published an editorial by Professor Sun Guorui, the Deputy Director of School of Law, Beihang University, arguing it was reasonable for media to pay for interviews with experts, who spend time and effort to contribute knowledge, experience and information. Sun also dragged the debate into the arena of intellectual property protection. [Chinese coverage here].
An editorial by Xiaoxiang Morning Herald in March 2006 argued that someone who is not a public official should not have a duty to the public's right to know. If experts are offered the right to refuse interviews, said the editorial, they should also be given the right to request payment. The editorial said it was unreasonable to talk about journalists' right to information without expecting them to pay for that information. [Chinese coverage here].
In April 2006 Ma Shaohua, an associate professor of journalism at Renmin University, argued in Beijing Youth Daily that the argument that says paying for interviews violates journalistic norms is irrelevant given the fact such norms have not yet taken shape in China. [Chinese coverage here].

Richie Porte: 'We can hit the ground running at Tour Down Under'
The Australian is hoping to settle in quickly with his new Trek - Segafredo team

Tour Down Under 2020
Riche Porte is looking to add to his collection of victories at the Tour Down Under in his first race with Trek – Segafredo.
Porte will line up with his new team during the first WorldTour race of the year, as he chases a sixth consecutive win on Willunga Hill.
The 33-year-old, who has only taken overall victory at the TDU once in 2017, has been chasing Grand Tour success in recent years and will be looking for an emphatic start to his season.
Porte said: "It's always nice to start with a new team.
"I haven't done a lot of time with the rest of the Trek – Segafredo boys but I know most of the guys and we have a good solid team here, so I think we can hit the ground running in this first race of the year."
>>> Extreme heat & wind forces Tour Down Under to cut kilometres
Porte switches to Trek – Segafredo from BMC Racing, where he had been striving for Grand Tour success.
The Australian's hopes of Tour de France victory were upended on stage nine of both the 2017 and 2018 races, when he was forced to retire due to crashes.
On his new outfit, Porte said: "We have probably one of the strongest teams I've ever been in for stages likes the last one to Willunga Hill, with guys like Peter Stetina and Jarlinson Pantano.
"Besides them, we've also got guys like Koen de Kort, who's one of the most experienced and very good at crosswinds, together with Kiel Reijnen and Ryan Mullen.
"We've got a well-balanced and solid team here and I hope it will continue like that for the rest of the year."
The now-famous Willunga Hill stage has been moved to the final day, meaning the general classification battle won't be settled until the final meters.

But stage three to Uraidla features 3,000meters of climbing, more than the Willunga Hill test, which means the GC struggle is likely to be defined there.
Porte added: "I think the course suited me a little better two years ago, but this year it's also a good, challenging course.
"It's just nice to come to Adelaide in January, this race is fantastic.
"It depends how [stage three] is ridden.
"We did the recon the other day, it's a pretty tricky, hard stage.
"If it's a hot day and the peloton doesn't feel like riding hard, it could also be nothing, but looking at the course, if the proverbial hits the fan, it's going to be a good fight indeed."

With a population of 1,567,442 and growing, Philadelphia has come a long way since the Founding Fathers gathered here to sign the Declaration of Independence. Today, it is one of the nation's largest metropolitan areas. This can can make choosing where to live within the 136-square-mile city a daunting task. If you are looking for more affordable housing options in proximity to the airport and public transportation with a nature preserve as your backyard, living in Southwest Philadelphia could be the right location for you.
While suburbs rarely get awarded highly walkable scores, people living in Southwest Philly enjoy a robust public transportation system. SEPTA's train and trolley lines offer routes to the Philadelphia International Airport and University City. This makes it possible for residents to access employment, universities, parks, the airport, and the City Center. No matter where you live in Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love offers something for everyone.
Eastwick Urban Renewal Project
Southwest Philadelphia is home to the Eastwick Urban Renewal Project. The country's largest urban renewal project recently came to an end uncompleted. For many, this closure is a welcome change. Today, the residents, community groups, nonprofits, and city agencies are working together to create a community-driven planning process to develop the remaining acreage and improve the residential quality of life in Southwest Philadelphia.
Southwest Philly neighborhoods that make up this urban landscape lie north of the Delaware River. They include Tinicum Township, Kingsessing, Elmwood, Eastwick and Paschall as well as the Philadelphia International Airport, John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, Eastwick Community Garden, Cobbs Creek, and Bartram's Garden. High school students attend Bartram High School or Academy Park and younger kids go to John M. Patterson, Penrose, Walnut Street, Bell Avenue, or Colwyn Elementary School.
John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum
If the Philadelphia International Airport is the heart of Southwest Philadelphia, then the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge is its soul. Home to a variety of habitats, the Heinz refuge is a freshwater tidal marsh within the Delaware Estuary and recognized by the National Audubon Society.
The 1,000-acre park welcomes visitors for hiking, fishing, birdwatching, and outdoor education programs, and it is a perfect weekend retreat for urban dwellers. While the park serves as a resting stop for thousands of migrating birds, a pair of bald eagles make their home in Heinz refuge and are thriving. The eagles first nested here in 2009 and have returned every year to produce nine eaglets—how cute!
Philly Murals
If you love art, then consider moving to Philadelphia. The city's Mural Arts Program discourages random graffiti while encouraging young Philadelphians and professional artists who work together to showcase their talents. The city's architecture is their canvas, and the art they create is an iconic part of the city's landscape.
The program started three decades ago and as a result, some of the murals are in the process of being restored. The "We the Youth" mural, pictured above, was painted by Keith Haring in 1987 just before he died. Haring grew up near Philadelphia and painted the mural with kids from the Brandywine Workshop.
Southwest Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich
Even if cheesesteak isn't your favorite sandwich, it would be a crime to live in Southwest Philly and not try one. Okay, so it's not an actual crime, but you could be missing out. Philadelphians claim that what sets their cheesesteak sandwich apart from all the other cheesesteaks is the Amoroso hoagie roll. They also argue that a Philly Cheesesteak has to be ordered with Cheez Whiz. Don't be fooled on that one, though. If you have to draw the line at fatty goodness somewhere, take comfort in knowing that the fake canned "cheese" was invented long after the Philly cheesesteak sandwich.
So go ahead, indulge in chopped up, griddled-sirloin with provolone thrown in at the last minute and then poured onto a bakery-fresh roll. Add some sauteed bell peppers and French fries to the mix. It will be a just reward after moving and unpacking all of your moving boxes.
Philadelphia Is an Amazing College Town
Whether you are looking for a higher education in the arts or are a recent high school grad moving off to college, you will be glad to know that there are 15 four-year colleges in Philadelphia. Because Southwest Philly is served by SEPTA reaching the University of Philadelphia and many other colleges by train is possible from the Eastwick Station on Bartram Avenue. The main campus of the famed Philadelphia institution, Temple University, is also on the SEPTA-Philadelphia International Airport line.
Here is a list of colleges that appeal to students looking for a degree in the arts:
The Curtis Institute of Music
The Art Institute of Philadelphia
The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College
University of the Arts
Philadelphia International Airport
Did you know there are 150 rocking chairs at the Philadelphia International Airport? Probably not. The airport rocking chair trend started in 1997 during a temporary exhibit of, you guess it—rocking chairs. After the seats had been removed, there was a public outcry. As a result, airports across the nation have added rocking chairs as a seating option.
Located in Southwest Philadelphia on the banks of the Delaware River, the award-winning airport has received accolades for the best concession stand management team as well as for offering healthy eating options. Families traveling through the Philadelphia Airport won't want to miss the Aviation Play Station where the kids can climb a real jumbo jet plane.
Charles Lindbergh famously landed his plane here and inaugurated the airport in the mid-1920s.
Southwest Philadelphia is steeped in a rich and at times controversial history. The bucolic landscapes that once thrived here eventually gave way to large industries. Many of those are long gone too. In their place is a movement to reimagine and rebuild Southwest Philly. Also, SEPTA, the airport, and a nature preserve are parts of today's landscape that make living here appealing. There is a sense of optimism that the future of the Eastwick development will give Philadelphia city planners, residents, and other stakeholders a chance to reimagine their community.
Whether you are moving from across the country or just across town Metro Self Storage offers friendly and affordable Southwest Philadelphia self storage and a free seven-day storage hold.

Erin officials move to prevent future water problems
City of Erin seeking emergency grant to replace waterline from treatment plant, following recent breaks
Mark Hicks
USA TODAY NETWORK – Tennessee
ERIN, Tenn. — During the recent waterline breaks and subsequent water outage, Erin City Recorder Angie Neilson was taking hundreds of pictures.
"It's documentation," she said.
Neilson wasn't just recording the images of crews working to replace the waterline beside Highway 149 that was severed by a mudslide and the relief effort that followed for the sake of history, it was for future prevention.
City officials are in the process of applying for a $500,000 emergency grant for U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development to replace the affect 18-inch waterline from the city's water treatment plant, which is just inside Montgomery County.
The waterline was installed when the treatment plant was built on the Cumberland River more than three decades ago.
Because the break happened in the only line from the water plant, the facility had to be shut down while repairs were made. In the meantime, customers who had water service continued to use water still in the elevated storage tanks and throughout the system.
Once repairs were completed and the water plant began distributing water once more, it took three days for it reach all households. The City of Erin Water Department has about 2,350 customers in not only Erin and Houston County, but also in Cumblerland City and the Sailor's Rest area of Montgomery County.
Neilson said because the main lines from the water treatment plant are so vital and a break in it can affect customers throughout the entire system, the City of Erin qualifies for the emergency grant, which requires no local matching money.
Her photos will be part of the supporting documentation to justify receiving the emergency grant.
"With the available grant money, we will do our best ton ensure that if this problem happens again, it won't be in the same location," Erin Mayor Paul Bailey told Board of Mayor and Aldermen members at the May 2 meeting.
The mayor recognized various people during the meeting who helped to fix the break, as well as those who helped distribute bottled water to local resident who did not have water service.
"We really appreciate the city and our community pulling together to do what they could do," added Alderwoman Betsy Ligon.

The graph of f(x) = 10^x and it's translation, g(x), are shown. what is the equation of g(x)?
idk lol
1,150 give brainliest
step-by-step explanation
2r= 2300
r =1150
take it another
[tex]Well i failed : ( i'm sad and tired[/tex]
the correct option is:
b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.
the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).
for example, given the following polynomial:
[tex]3x-6[/tex]
the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:
[tex]3x-6=0[/tex]
[tex]3x=6[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{6}{3}=2[/tex]
therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.
we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.
hence the correct option is:
3 (x + y) = y If (x, y) is a solution to the equation above and y ≠ 0, what is the ratio of x/y
3 (x + y) = y If (x, y) is a solution to the equation above and y ≠ 0, what is the ratio of x/y...
