African American history month – Black history month
The annual observance of Black History Month in February has its origins dating back to 1926 when the historian Carter G Woodson, author of 'The Journal of Negro History', announced the second week in February to be "Negro History Week".
The flame flickered until, in 1970, the first Black History Month was celebrated at Kent State University between January 2nd and February 28th.
Six years later during the celebration of the United States Bicentennial, President Gerald Ford urged Americans to "seize the opportunity [of Black History Month] to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history".
Of course, Black Americans have made ground-breaking contributions in many areas. In this article we concentrate on scientific and social advances made in the field of medicine. We examine what remains to be achieved.
James McCune Smith, MD (183-1865)
James McCune Smith was the first black American to receive a medical degree. Racist admissions practices at U.S. medical schools meant that he had to study at the University of Glasgow Medical School, where he was first in his class and in 1837 gained his Doctorate in Medicine. On his return to the USA he practiced in New York and became the first black American to own and operate a pharmacy (West Broadway). In 1863 he became Professor of Anthropology at Ohio University.
In this Academic year 2019/2020 Glasgow University opens the $120 million James McCune Smith Learning Hub. The hub provides a 'state of the art' learning and teaching facility for over 2,500 students.
Rebecca Lee Crumpler, MD (1831-1895)
Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first black American woman to receive an MD degree. Like James Smith 25 years before, she had many obstacles to overcome before being accepted, 1859, at The New England Female Medical College, Boston. She was aided by the sponsorship of the doctors with whom she had worked for the previous eight years. Despite the interruption of the Civil War she earned her medical degree in 1864 (aided by an award from the Wade Scholarship Fund).
At the end of the Civil War she set up practice in Richmond, Virginia, working with missionary and community groups to provide medical care to newly freed slaves. On returning to Boston, Rebecca Crumpler focused on the treatment of illnesses affecting women and children.
Her book, 'A book of Medical Discourses in Two Parts', was a manual for women looking after themselves and their children. Published in 1883 it was one of the earliest medical texts written by an African American and possibly the first by a woman.
Dr. Charles Richard Drew (1904-1950)
Known as 'Father of the Blood Bank', "Dr Charles Drew broke barriers in a racially divided America to become one of the most important scientists of the 20th century" (American Chemical Society).
In 1922 he entered Amherst College in Massachusetts (on a football, track and field scholarship!). He was one of only thirteen African Americans in a student body of six hundred.
Apart from his athletic prowess Drew showed no great promise until a biology Professor sparked his interest in medicine.
As with many other fields, medicine was largely segregated. As African American this limited his education and later his career options. Nevertheless, his perseverance gained him a place at McGill University, Montreal, where he gained his MD and CM (Master of Surgery) degrees, graduating second in a class of 137.
During his internship at Montreal Hospital (1933-1935) Drew developed his interest in transfusion medicine. He went on to earn his Doctorate at Columbia University based on his assessment of previous research into blood and transfusion, blood chemistry and fluid replacement.
His key findings concerned the collection, processing and storage of blood products. This led to his appointment to Head of Blood for Britain (BFB), a project which collected and transported much needed blood and plasma to Britain during WWII.
When the program ended in 1941 BFB had collected over 14,000 blood donations and through the Red Cross shipped more than 5,000 liters of saline solution to England.
Drew returned to Howard University (DC) where he had briefly studied (1935/6) as Head of the Department of Surgery, the post he held until his untimely death in a car accident.
His self-proclaimed mission was to "train…young African American surgeons who could… in turn nurture the tradition of excellence".
Marilyn Hughes Gaston MD (1939-)
Born to a family of limited means Marilyn Hughes was strongly influenced by her mother: "You can be whatever you want to be" and her godmother, who took her every Saturday with a group of local children to a local 'whites only' swimming pool. She, Marilyn's godmother, succeeded in desegregating the pool.
Between them these two "fierce black women" instilled in her the twin values of ambition and perseverance.
Her college prep school discouraged her from starting on a medical career but she enrolled in Miami University, studied zoology and graduated in 1960.
She was faced with the dilemma of whether to pursue her ambition to become a doctor. She was poor, female and black.
One physician with whom she discussed her dilemma told her "You will never be satisfied with nursing duties [which she was then doing]. If you really want to be a physician go for it!" And she did!
Marilyn Hughes Gaston enrolled in the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine and graduated in 1964. She had been one of six women and the only African American woman in her class.
During her internship at Philadelphia General Hospital she had a chance encounter with an infant patient with a swollen hand, the cause of which she struggled to identify. The supervising resident suggested that the child might be suffering from SDC which was confirmed by bloodwork. From this she developed an interest in sickle cell disease (SDC).
This incident led to a lifelong interest in developing a superior means of treating the disease which led ultimately to changes in the standard of care for infants born with SCD.
On completing her residency (pediatrics) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center she practiced medicine in Lincoln Heights, an all African American suburb of the city. Refusing several offers to practice in wealthier neighborhoods she continued to pursue her interest in SCD and secured a grant to set up the Lincoln Heights Health Centre, the first Community Health Centre in Ohio, of which she became Director in 1969.
In 1972, using funds allocated by President Nixon, she set up and opened the Sickle Cell Disease Center which she led until 1976 when she moved to Washington (DC). She took the position of medical expert (Sickle Cell Center), one of the branches of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Sickle Cell Disease is an inherited blood disease found almost exclusively in infants of African or South Asian descent. At the time, mid 20th Century, the majority of children were not expected to survive into adulthood. Her leadership (NIH) and ground breaking research (published 1986) led to the rapid implementation of national screening tests to ensure that all new born children with the condition, whatever their ethnic background, could be identified and treated appropriately.
Gaston had joined the U.S. Public Service Commissioned Corps in 1979 and in 1990 was promoted to Assistant Surgeon General and Rear Admiral, only the second African American woman to reach this rank.
If there are lessons to be learned from BLACK HISTORY MONTH, they are lessons for all ethnic minority groups and all professions. The medical profession illustrates the need for society as a whole to address benefits of diversity in the development and sustenance of our communities.
These four thumbnail sketches spread over 200 years tell us that ambition and perseverance are key drivers to success. In every case the catalyst was a role model to provide inspiration and self-belief. Sometimes a relative, a teacher, a colleague, a superior or an institution but there is always an external influence and OPPORTUNITY.
After 200 years there are not so many 'firsts' but recent studies show that in medicine the situation has not significantly changed. The needs and opportunities are greater.
African Americans comprise 15% of the U.S. population but only 4% of U.S. physicians.
A recent study (Stritch School of Medicine, Loyola University Chicago, IL.,) considered student perceptions on the barriers to African Americans pursuing careers in medicine.
The major barriers cited by the students included
financial constraints
lack of knowledge about medicine
little or no encouragement at home or in school
lack of African American role models in the community and on TV
negative peer views on excelling academically
easier and more appealing ways of making money.
The researchers concluded that these factors might well "contribute to racial disparities in the physician workforce for African Americans".
They went on to say "Exposure at a young age to role models and to medicine as a profession might increase the number of African American physicians".
Do we need more Physicians? It is of course a matter of opinion/judgement but by comparison with other nations the answer is probably yes!
One measure is the number of physicians per 1,000 of the population. Canada, the UK and America range between 2.3 and 2.8. The EU average is over 3 and Switzerland has over 5 per 1,000.
There are still barriers to break but the needs and opportunities remain!

Former AIDS Ambassador, Joyce Dzidzor Mensah.
A former AIDS Ambassador, Joyce Dzidzor Mensah has threatened to commit suicide along with her three adorable kids on Saturday.
Joyce Mensah, who courted huge controversy after denouncing her HIV status after five years of leading an HIV/AIDS campaign, said she will go to her hometown where she plans to kill them and kill herself.
She is set to grant her last radio interview before moving to her hometown in Peki Dzake in the Volta region of Ghana.
"These are my three children. Today is our last day on earth," she declared in a Facebook post with a family photo of herself and the three children, threatening "Am going to kill them and kill myself".
According to her, the family has suffered a lot of discrimination and humiliation after she came out publicly to tell the world that she was living with HIV/AIDS.
She had to denounce her HIV status, she said in an earlier interview, to save her children from the public stigmatization.
Her post on social media reads: "These are my three children. Today is our last day on earth. I have my last interview at 3fm this afternoon. I will then proceed to the village where my children are.
"Am going to kill them and kill myself. We are going to a place where there is no sorrow, a place where people will never call my children AIDS children, a place where I will not be judged wrongly, a place where there is no hunger.
When TV3 contacted her on phone, she sounded sad and was sobbing.
Meanwhile, the Media General group has informed the Ghana Police Service who are putting together every effort to talk her through the decision to commit suicide and give her the needed support .

Panasonic finds itself in need of some Tesla-style boldness as it enters its next era
Victor Colstrup 12/15/2020 12/15/2020 No Comments on Panasonic finds itself in need of some Tesla-style boldness as it enters its next era
Tesla's oldest battery partner, Panasonic, is finding itself at a crossroads once more. With Chief Executive Kazuhiro Tsuga poised to step down next June, the massive Japanese conglomerate is feeling some pressure to optimize and streamline itself. To accomplish this, Panasonic may need to channel one of its key battery partners, Tesla, and its CEO, Elon Musk, to make the bold decisions needed to thrive in a new era.
When Tsuga took Panasonic's reins eight years ago, he stated that his first priority would be to return the massive conglomerate into a profitable "normal company." He did not disappoint. Tsuga stemmed a record loss by pulling the company out of the plasma television market and repositioning the firm as an automotive-and-housing conglomerate. The veteran Japanese executive also did something unexpected: he initiated a $5 billion battery manufacturing tie-up with Tesla in 2014.
Tsuga's strategy of partnering with Tesla, then an unproven electric car maker, and a CEO known for a Tony Stark-like persona, was considered a courageous move on the Japanese conglomerate's part. The partnership of the experienced Japanese veteran and assertive US startup bore fruit, with Gigafactory Nevada becoming the world's largest battery facility. Its operations with Tesla are even closing in on its first annual profit. But the journey to this point was not easy.

As noted in a Financial Times report, Panasonic and Tesla clashed over the years, and these tensions reportedly manifested themselves when the Japanese firm decided to not invest in Gigafactory Shanghai. This resulted in Tesla partnering with other suppliers like LG Chem and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL). Tesla has also announced plans to start producing its own 4680 tabless cells for its vehicles and energy storage products.
As the outgoing Panasonic CEO prepares to step down in June, his promise of running a "normal company" is leaving a bitter aftertaste to the company he will leave behind. Over the years, rivals such as Sony and Hitachi have gone on massive divestment initiatives to streamline their businesses. And while Panasonic has followed a similar path, executives continue to struggle to define what kind of company it is. Newly-appointed chief executive Yuki Kusumi, who is poised to succeed Tsuga, referenced this when he stated that Panasonic could achieve growth if it could optimize businesses that excelled in its portfolio, which currently stretches across a whopping 520 subsidiaries.
Panasonic establishes a global battery cell production facility in 2017 for electric vehicles
The outgoing Panasonic CEO, as a final departing measure, is hoping to change the company into a holding company structure, which is similar to a move that rival Sony will make around April. According to Panasonic, the shift, which is expected to be completed in 2022, could help accelerate decision-making across the conglomerate by running its units independently. Yet even this strategy poses challenges for Panasonic since unlike Sony, which has found its "core" in the games, films, animation, and the music segment, Panasonic's "core" still seems unclear. This difference is evident when one looks at the two Japanese firms' performance in the market. Sony has increased 78% since February while Panasonic has dropped 30%.
But things may be looking up for Panasonic. When he announced Panasonic's shift to a holding company, Tsuga resurrected car batteries as a "core" by branding it as an "energy business." Thanks in part to this, as well as the ongoing expansion of profitable projects like Gigafactory Nevada, Panasonic's next CEO, Yuki Kusumi, would be taking control of a company that is in a much better financial position as the one handed over to his predecessor. As highlighted by the Financial Times, if Kusumi would like to usher in a revival or a breakthrough of sorts for Panasonic in the coming years, he would have to channel less of his predecessor's "normal company" strategy and more of the boldness characteristic of partners like Tesla.
Markets like the battery industry are only just heating up, after all. While Tesla has stated that it intends to keep and grow its partnership with suppliers like Panasonic despite its own battery production plans, competitors like LG Chem and CATL are not sitting out the next few years. LG has even posted a bold challenge of sorts to the Japanese conglomerate recently, with the South Korean firm stating that it has every intention to become Tesla's main battery supplier in the near future, effectively taking Panasonic's place. With some Elon Musk-style boldness, however, perhaps Panasonic could still keep its lead in the battery sector, and perhaps even increase its reach in the growing EV segment.

It is SUCH a thrill to have my art on the cover of the New Yorker! Every since I was a little girl I loved drawing women and pretty clothes. When I realized this could be a career like my babysitter Martha Vaughn who went on to illustrate the Style section of the Washington Post - I knew that was what I wanted to be - a fashion illustrator. I graduated from the Academy of Art in San Francisco where I was lucky enough to study with fashion illustrator Gladys Perint Palmer. Her free and loose way of drawing was a huge inspiration to me. I worked for many clothing designers, often bartering for clothes instead of money. I once pulled up to the toll booth on the Golden Gate Bridge in my little red Fiat sports car wearing $1000 leather pants and not enough money for the toll. (now I drive a Prius and try to only buy second hand :) When I met my husband, artist Peter Kitchell in San Francisco and we moved to the boonies of Western Massachusetts, I soon realized I'd need to branch out if I wanted to continue to make a living from my art, but fashion and beauty still remains one of the things I love to paint most.
It gives me much joy to share a bit of beauty through my art and if it brings even just a moments respite for people from all the ugliness we are bombarded with daily- then I am thrilled. Painting beauty in many forms has become a very important aspect of my work.
Here is a bit of my process showing how I arrived at this final cover art. Yes, sometimes the final result has very little to do with the beginning ideas!


A pair of new laws in Michigan will toughen the state's stance on ransomware, a type of malware that has caused $2.6 million in damages to the state in 2017, according to FBI statistics.
PA 95 and 96 were signed into law by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder on Monday, closing a loophole in Michigan code that allowed cybercriminals in the state to legally possess ransomware. Even if the state police suspected that a cybercriminal was planning a cyberattack with ransomware, they couldn't act until the ransomware was used.
Iden told StateScoop that state police had numerous cases in the past that were restricted by the loophole, which effectively protected cybercriminals from law enforcement until after the crime had been committed.
The new laws, based on HB 5257 and HB 5258, are intended to remedy that.
There were more than 1,300 reported cases of ransomware attacks in Michigan in 2017, according to FBI statistics. A ransomware attack on Lansing Power and Light in 2016 cost nearly $2 million. Rep. Iden says it was that incident that made ransomware law reform a primary issue for the state legislature.
Iden said he originally proposed a 10-year maximum sentence for the felony punishment outlined in HB 5258, the bill introduced by Rep. James Lower, but it was reduced to three years during the legislative process.
Michigan is now one of a number of states that have similar laws specific to ransomware and computer extortion, including California, Wyoming, Texas and Connecticut.
Michigan is the latest state to tackle cybercrime on the state-level following Georgia's recent "unauthorized access" computer crime bill. Security researchers and white- and gray-hat hackers have expressed deep concerns over that legislation, which stakeholders say could effectively outlaw much of the business of cybersecurity in Georgia.
PA 95 and 96 appear to be more carefully constructed than Georgia's SB 315 law, but still might present headaches for Michigan's community of cybersecurity researchers , University of Michigan computer science professor Kang Shin told StateScoop.
Shin said that even with the "intent" provision requiring prosecutors to prove malicious desires, security researchers who study ransomware and require samples of it will still probably be fearful of having to prove innocence every time they experiment.
"It creates an extra step or additional effort, because you have to prove that you're not going to use [the ransomware] for a malicious purpose," Shin said.
Iden and Shin were both optimistic about the chance for a procedure or form that ransomware researchers could use to avoid suspicion.

Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock has hailed his side's showing at Manchester City despite the champions recording a straightforward 2-0 victory.
Though they rarely threatened themselves, Warnock was impressed by the attitude and application of his players during the loss. Speaking after the encounter at the Etihad, he said (as quoted by Wales Online): "I was just really proud of them. To concede a goal as early as that, you do fear the worst.
"[Manchester City] started like the Real Madrid of ten years ago. They're so quick, everybody's comfortable on the ball. We only had one day [of training] after the disappointment of the Chelsea game.
Despite the lack of attacking opportunities, the Welsh outfit fared much better in the north-west than some of their fellow strugglers have this season. In this campaign alone City have hit both Southampton and Huddersfield for six, whilst also racking up five goals in their thrashing of Burnley back in October.

Metallica Announces New Album '72 Seasons': See Track Listing
Claude Turner November 29, 2022 2 min read
Metallica has announced a new album titled 72 Seasons, to be released on April 14.
72 Seasons marks Metallica's first studio album since 2016's Hardwired … to Self-Destruct. James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich are again co-producers with Greg Fidelman, whose other credits include Slipknot, Black Sabbath and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band previewed 72 Seasons on Monday with the short, blistering single "Lux Æterna."
The album is available to preorder in a variety of formats, including black and limited-edition color vinyl, CD and digital. You can see all the configurations at Metallica's website and see the full track listing below.
Hetfield describes the album's concept in an official statement: "Seventy-two seasons. The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves. The concept that we were told 'who we are' by our parents. A possible pigeonholing around what kind of personality we are. I think the most interesting part of this is the continued study of those core beliefs and how it affects our perception of the world today. Much of our adult experience is reenactment or reaction to these childhood experiences. Prisoners of childhood or breaking free of those bondages we carry."
Metallica will support 72 Seasons with the massive M72 world tour. The trek is scheduled to begin on April 27, 2023 in Amsterdam and run through Sept. 29, 2024, in Mexico City. The band will play two nights per city over the course of a "No Repeat Weekend," with each night featuring a different set list and lineup. Opening acts across various legs include Pantera, Mammoth WVH and Greta Van Fleet.

NFL teams have already seen everything they need to see from Missouri's four-year starter. Still, it didn't stop Lock and his coaches from painstakingly assembling a 54-play script to throw against air at Missouri's pro day. How a pro day performance comes together. Plus, the latest on the Giants' interest in Dwayne Haskins.
UPDATE: At Missouri's pro day, Drew Lock threw a few eye-popping balls, like this one, thrown while escaping the pocket. Two notable NFL people in attendance were Giants offensive coordinator Mike Shula and Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt. NFL Network's Steve Wyche reported that Lock has met or will meet with the Giants, Dolphins, Chargers, Broncos, Washington and one surprising team, the Lions.
All eyes will be on Drew Lock at Missouri's pro day, as he throws a script of around 54 passes. But the reality is, scouts already know everything they need to know about Lock. They've already studied every game over his four seasons-worth of tape as Missouri's starting quarterback. They've watched him play in the Senior Bowl. They've interviewed him at the combine. Whether Lock goes 54-for-54 or 49-for-54 is not going to change what any team thinks about him. Still, he and his quarterback coaches Justin Hoover and Jordan Palmer have spent countless hours tweaking a personalized script.
Creating that script is no simple task. Lock's own script, maintained in a Google doc, has already seen 10 different iterations in the last month—Lock, Palmer and Hoover were all shared on the doc and could go in and make changes as small as the hashmark, or the receiver catching the ball, or changing one play to an audible at the line of scrimmage.
Many quarterback scripts begin as a generic template, and are personalized for the quarterback to include throws that he feels confident in. They usually begin with a few easy completions, slants and pitches, like a standard game plan would, to help the quarterback establish a rhythm. "When you walk in a gym and you get ready to start shooting baskets, you're not going to start with three point shots, you want some easy makes," Hoover says. From there, the throws will increase in difficulty, and for most prospects like Lock, they need to show some skills that weren't part of their collegiate offense, like a seven-step drop from under center. For Lock in particular, scouts will be looking for that footwork and timing and his consistency in ball placement.
Because Lock has so many throws on tape, he could probably get away with a shorter script, but Hoover doesn't want to risk implying anything. "If you only do 35, get in and get out, then it is like, Well, what don't they want to throw?" he says.
And then you have to think about travel time in between throws for receivers. If receiver prospect Emanuel Hall runs a dig route from left to right, it only makes sense that he should run a curl route from right to left, because he finished the previous play on the right side of the field.
Every good pro day script also has a backup plan. An in-case-of-emergency-break-glass option to use if, say, a receiver pulls a hamstring and can't finish the script. In Lock's case, three of his receivers are not Missouri football prospects, but they are running a few routes and will be able to sub in if anyone gets hurt.
Lock has gone over his script so many times he's nearly memorized it, but he and his receivers weren't all together in the same place until Wednesday in Columbia, the day before show time. Hoover called that the dress rehearsal, when it finally started feeling real for Lock and the receivers.
Most quarterback coaches print out the script and pass it out to scouts and NFL personnel in attendance, so it's easier to follow along. Some scouts like to mark each throw on their script sheet with plus or a minus sign. If there's a certain throw that a team wants to see, they have a chance to ask for the quarterback to throw it at the end of the workout. That rarely happens though. These scripts are so fine-tuned that nothing is left out.
MORE PRO DAY UPDATES: Meanwhile in Morgantown, W.V., quarterback Will Grier thoroughly impressed scouts at his pro day. ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted that a scout told him Grier "put on a show" and will likely be "a riser" in the draft. Of note, Giants head coach Pat Shurmur attended Grier's pro day. NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala reported that Lock met with the Giants on Thursday and had two dinners with teams on Wednesday night—one with the Panthers offensive coordinator Norv Turner and quarterbacks coach Scott Turner, and another with Redskins head coach Jay Gruden.
DRAFT NEWS AND NOTES: Mike Garofolo reported that Giants brass had dinner with Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins Tuesday night ahead of Ohio State's pro day. The Giants' group included head coach Pat Shurmur, offensive coordinator Mike Shula, senior VP of player personnel Chris Mara, national scouting director Chris Pettit and assistant general manager Kevin Abrams. It's beginning to feel like the Giants are doing plenty of work on the QB they've often been connected to … ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Haskins is scheduled to visit Washington, Denver and the Giants.
Another good point on the Giants and their reported lack of interest in Haskins: A scout told me the report doesn't make sense because every team has to do work on every player that is at a position of need. Players rarely fall through the cracks these days because teams are so good at turning over every stone and evaluating every player. So for the Giants, there isn't a quarterback in this draft that they haven't already done a lot of work on.

Irish ABC Newspaper Circulation January-June 2018
Home > Blogs > Print > Irish ABC Newspaper Circulation January-June 2018
The ABC's for the first half of 2018 were released earlier today. It shows that the newspaper market had contracted by a further 7.1% over the year. The market annual rate of decline hasn't been below -6% since 2009 and that's a statistic that doesn't need further commentary. The Morning market was down slightly more than the Sunday.
The stark reality for the industry is that newspaper circulation has halved over the past decade alone.
Total Market* 2,939,714 3,194,145 -249,217 -7.8%
The Sunday market now stands at 578,000 copies per day, a decrease of 43,000 on the same period in 2017. It represents a drop of 7.0% over the year and continues a worrying trend of year on year declines with no signs of any slowing (see the Sunday trend in the Annual Rate of Change chart below) and actually, the trend seems to have settled between 6% and 8% over the past five years.
Publication JJ 2018 JJ 2017 Diff '000 Diff %
Sunday Independent 176,580 185,080 -8,500 -4.6%
Sunday World 130,083 143,503 -13,420 -9.4%
Sunday Business Post 28,701 30,202 -1,501 -5.0%
Daily Star Sunday 14,611 15,366 -755 -4.9%
The Sun (Sunday) 52,647 52,124 523 1.0%
Irish Sunday Mirror 21,181 22,931 -1,750 -7.6%
The People 7,753 8,684 -930 -10.7%
Total Tabloid 226,274 242,608 -16,333 -6.7%
Sunday Express 2,739 2,943 -204 -6.9%
Mail on Sunday 62,725 75,144 -12,419 -16.5%
The Observer 4,174 4,543 -369 -8.1%
Sunday Telegraph 1,605 1,941 -336 -17.3%
Sunday Times 75,138 78,658 -3,520 -4.5%
Given the scale of the market drop, the Sunday Independent did better than the market average. Circulation stands at 176,500 down 5% on the same period last year. Beneath the surface, there was no real change in their bulks so the figures are comparable.
The Sunday World's circulation stands at 130,000 down 9.4% on 2017. The publication, for the last few reports, has fallen at a greater pace than the market, but the Sunday tabloid market suffering in general. A decade ago the tabloids made up 47% of the Sunday market, today it stands at 39%
I would have expected that the Sunday Business Post would have got a better bounce from the extensive coverage they gave to Independent News and Media's data woes and the alleged off-site scrutiny of some of its employees' emails. But it turns out that the April number was up 3% on the previous month, less than I would have expected. They were down -5% on last year at 28,700.
Daily Star Sunday still manages to eke out a living from the Irish market managing 14,600 sales every Sunday down, but 5% on the previous year –still ahead of the market decline. The title will soon be consumed into Trinity Mirror group so interesting times ahead.
The Sun on Sunday comes in at 52,600, an 'increase' of 1% year on year. However, if we allow for their new found love of 'paid multiple copies', that figure should be closer to a decline of around -4% as they had no multiples in their 2017 figures.
The Sunday Mirror in recent years has underperformed an already underperforming market. They have managed to fare worse than the overall Sunday market and continue this theme this year. They come in at 21,100, an 8% decline on last year.
Its running mate the Sunday People also have been trailing the market of late and continue to do so. 7,700 is their number for the first six months of 2018, down 11% on last year.
The Mail on Sunday, with a figure of 62,700, is showing a top line -17% decline on the same time last year. No doubt certain elements of the media will focus on that figure without much by way of clarification of the underlying reason.
There would seem to have been a change of policy with the Mail on Sunday and Irish Daily Mail where they no longer use bulks (as of January 2018). This, for this analysis, makes a direct comparison year on year almost invalid as it's one year with and one year without bulks. However, taking that into account, it can't be disguised that, extracting the bulks, they are still back around -8% or -9%.
The Sunday Times comes in at 75,100 a decline of -5% year on year.
The morning market fell by 8.2% to 384,600 copies per day. The rate of change for the Morning market has been hovering around 8% for the last few reports and looks like there is no sign of it moving from that level.
Irish Independent 87,673 94,502 -6,829 -7.2%
Irish Times 58,678 62,423 -3,745 -6.0%
Examiner 26,085 28,338 -2,253 -8.0%

The Herald 31,946 39,093 -7,147 -18.3%
Total 384,618 418,958 -34,339 -8.2%
The Irish Independent stands at 87,600 down 7& on the previous year. There was a small increase in their multiple copies (bulks) which now stand at 20% of their circulation. They also have 3,500 digital subscriptions which is a small increase on last year.
The Irish Times declined by -6% to 57,900 but they have 19,000 digital subscribers as well to increase their 'brand footprint'. In the first half of 2017 they had 15,000 digital subscribers so that equates to a 26% increase in their digital base over the year.
The Examiner reported a circulation of 26,000 a fall of 8% and the Herald had a very poor first half recording an 18% fall in their circulation.
The Daily Star felt an 8% decline in circulation over the year to bring them to a circulation of 46,800. The titles faces a few hurdles in the next few months; the Irish Competition Authority carries out a phase two look at the proposed acquisition of the 50% portion of the Irish Daily by 'Reach' (previously known as Trinity Mirror). The other 50% shareholding is held by IN&M who have their own issues to contend with in the latter half of the year, mainly trying to deal with the Director of Corporate Enforcement. Will it all be too much for the title to contend with?
The Sun managed a 1% 'increase' in its numbers to 56,200. Like its sister Sunday title that was aided and abetted with a few bails of multiple copies, which were not uses in its figures last year. If the multiples were allowed for, the underlying 'sales' would be down around 4%, which still outperforms the market as a whole. Add to that a recent price increase, which is not included in the first six month figures as it took place at the start of July, there may be some pressure on their sales later in the year.
The Mirror had a bad six months down 12% to 30,000 and way above the market average. Overall the tabloids managed a 5% decrease in circulation and it could have closer to the market average if The Sun had not changed its policy on bulks during the year.
Like the Sunday edition, the Irish Daily Mail changed its bulks policy taking meaning it took hit of around 3,500 copies per day in the first six months of this year. The 'decline' of 23% looks so dramatic – but you have to take the policy change into account. Allowing for the bulks and you'd be looking at a 14% decline in sales.
I touched on the Times Ireland edition before. The grossly inflated 96% 'increase' is simply down to multiple copies – to the tune of 44% of their circulation in June – whereas they had no bulks last year, I'll leave it at that.
* In the tables – the morning market includes The Herald in both years. In the figure for the overall market the Echo is added to the total. In the charts for the morning, the Herald is excluded as their move to the morning would distort the trend.

Q: How to check failed container logs in Kubernetes Before i check the logs, pods are failing and removed by jenkins and I am unable to see the logs.
How can i check the logs of the pods that are removed.
is there any simple way to save the logs in kubernetes.
I don't have any logging system for my kubernetes.
In a fraction of seconds, it keeps creating and deleting because of some error. I want to find what the error is. before i check the logs, the container name is changed.
Thanks,

A: Most probably you meant "pods are failing and removed by kubernetes and I am unable to see the logs." This is kubernetes itself who manage API objects, not jenkins.
Answering your question directly - you are not able to fetch any logs from any of your containers once related POD was deleted. Deletion pod means wiping all pod's containers with all the data included. Logs were deleted in the moment your pod was terminated.

By default, if a container restarts, the kubelet keeps one terminated
container with its logs. If a pod is evicted from the node, all
corresponding containers are also evicted, along with their logs.

If you pod were alive - you would be able to use ----previous flag to check the logs, but unfortunatelly thats not your case.
There are a lot of similar questions - and the only main suggestion is to set up some log aggregation system that will store logs separately. IN that case you wont lose them and will be able at least check them.

Leon is a serious but easy-going fellow, friendly to most people while also honest about what he thinks about people or situations he's confronted with, which can be problematic if those are what he considers "bad".
The things Leon loves most in life are piloting his Mobile Suit while staying idle in space, and spending time with his crewmates, whom he views as his family, and will do anything he can to help them if need arises.
Battle Strategist: Leon was never taught proper MS combat, and as such, will usually come up with battle plans on the fly if his current strategy isn't working.
Couple Protector: Because of his complicated love life, Leon will protect any couple he sees from any harm that comes their way, even if he was just fighting them, and will stop what he's doing to get them to safety. He will also refuse to kill anyone that has a lover.
Main Target: In order to minimize the number of victims in an all-out fight, Leon will target the enemy leaders or figureheads to make the rest retreat. This leads him to fight opponents much stronger than he is.
Leon is a blond-haired, blue-eyed man that usually wears a black shirt, red pants, a red and gold jacket, and a gun holster strapped to his belt.
Leon was born sometime in UC 0067, in a Zeon colony, which was attacked by space pirates when he was only a few months old. One of the pirates decided that a child this young didn't deserve to die, and adopted him. For all his life, the only home Leon has truly known was the interior of a rusty old spaceship. He was the only child on the crew, and quickly had to learn to fight and fix problems from a young age.
When he was 15, Leon managed to salvage the wreckage of a Zaku that was drifting in space, and customized it. He became proficient with the Mobile Suit, and became the crew's ace in the hole, heading out to battle only when the situation became dire.
When he was 18, Leon's adoptive father died, and, while on his deathbed, told him the truth of his origins. Leon didn't pay it any mind, as he already thought of Zero Sky as his one true family.
A few months afterwards, he was deployed into battle and was shot down by a cannon. He crashed into a Side 6 colony, and was found by an orphaned young woman named Lena Shire. The two of them became close quickly because of their similar backgrounds, and when Leon managed to repair his Mobile Suit, he took her with him onto the Zero Sky crew's main ship. She lived there for a few months, and the two of them developped strong feelings for each other, but tragedy eventually struck, as Lena was killed in the crossfire of a raging battle between Zero Sky and Federation Mobile Suits.
A few days after Leon turned 20, the crew became business partners with Zeon, and is now helping them in battle when needed.
MS-0X Zero Sky Zaku: Leon's customized black Zaku II with a big, white zero painted on its back.
Revolver: An old, gunpowder-using six shooter that Leon carries around for "good luck".
sky pirates? I knew i shoulda replayed ff12 when i had the chance.
I'd work on the history a bit, maybe split up the last paragraph and add more depth to the romance and wieght to it.
It's a decent start but you'll need to flesh it out.
This doesn't say much about his personality. This doesn't say much about him as a person. How did he appear nice and friendly to enemies? Everyone would fight more seriously against an opponent. Why would opponents surrender and run away? This is war, not some video game.
Flashy Pilot: Leon is a pretty great pilot, and loves to show off.
Couple Protector: Because of his complicated love life, Leon will protect any couple he sees from any harm that comes their way, even if he was just fighting them.
Which are the strengths and which are the weaknesses? More importantly, why are there strengths or weaknesses? You need to use this to shape him into a believable character. If that is his fighting style I doubt he would have graduated from the mobile suit academy, not to mention being allowed in a battlefield. You might want to think that part over.
Any updates after the previous comments? Please check this thread about the RP. Only the AEUG and Neo Zeon are available as faction choices.
Valiant just created a character that's a mercenary for the AEUG. Maybe the Sky Pirates can be mercenaries employed by Neo Zeon?
Changed the faction and added a line in the history part to go with it.
Hair: Light auburn bordering on orange, but a close shave around the sides and back of his head suggest his hair was originally a much darker brown.
Teo is a guarded individual, having grown up resenting the silver spoon put in his mouth from an early age. He dislikes being patronized for being of affluent blood, and would much rather prefer people talk to him as a regular man. He is, however due to his sheltered upbringing, quite naive, and believes things to be more black and white as opposed to shades of grey.
Teo is a gifted engineer, having taken after his father, Rasmus Nygaard. He has an intimate understanding of machinery and electronics. However, he is physically quite frail, possessing a significant limp. His resentful personality also tends to get him into heated situations quite easily, landing him in trouble more often than not.
Teo Nygaard is a fairly tall individual of Scandinavian blood, possessing pleasant features: soft grey eyes that mask a purposeful determination and trimmed auburn hair. He is often seen holding a small cane to aid his walk in gravity environments, though he tries his best to keep his back straight and walk tall. When not wearing a Neo Zeon uniform, Teo is dressed in comfortable, if not expensive civilian clothing.
Born on August 12, UC 0067, Teo Nygaard is the only son of Rasmus Nygaard, and one in a long line of heirs to the leadership of the Nygaard Concern, a heavy industries manufacturing company established at the dawn of the Universal Century to build components for Space Colonies. Eventually, the Nygaard Concern would be absorbed into Zeonic to produce mobile suits, though by 0080, Rasmus Nygaard would buy the Concern back from Anaheim Electronics. From then on, the Nygaard Concern would be synonymous with mobile suit customization, with several Earth Sphere aces attributing the high performance of their custom machines to the work of the Concern.
Teo would be brought into a world of luxury; his every need and want fulfilled as he was attended to by a legion of servants, even as the world around him floundered. However, after being near endlessly mocked and ostracized by his peers for being 'the rich kid', Teo begun to resent his upbringing. Due to the status of his family, he would be largely untouched by the horrors of the One Year War, though as the frontlines shifted, the Nygaard family would find themselves moved from colony to colony, eventually taking residence in Axis at the end of the War. It would be here, in the rough-and-tumble refuge of the survivors of Zeon that Teo's resentment of his heritage grew and grew.
When he was old enough to enlist, he would join the draft, looking to serve as a common soldier, but ironically, his position in high society, and his limp, would land him a spot in Neo Zeon's officer academy, where he would graduate as an Ensign.
Not one to throw away an opportunity for business, his father, Rasmus, would position his son as an advisor to Neo Zeon's corps of engineers; effectively a salesman for the Nygaard Concern's products and services. This angered Teo, who would often shirk his duties in an attempt to get himself either demoted or discharged, but the near-constant meddling from his father as a beneficiary of the Army would keep him firmly in place as an Ensign.
When the war against the Earth Federation had finally begun in UC 0088, Teo would quickly find a way to stick it to his father and the Nygaard Concern, this time as a mobile suit pilot, but once again, meddling from his father would have him playing right into the Concern's hands: instead of a standard issue mobile suit, Teo would be at the helm of one customized by the Concern as a show of force from the company.
Still adamant in his desire to break free from his heritage, Teo would endeavor to never score a single kill in his mobile suit.
A necklace made from a small pewter ring he was given by a close friend when they were children.
An MS-14Jg Gelgoog modified by the Nygaard Concern. Equipped with improved armor and an impressive array of thrusters, the Gelgoog [Stutzer]/Nygaard can go toe-to-toe with its modern contemporaries, like the Gaza-C despite its age. This unit was assigned to Teo to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Nygaard Concern's mobile suit modification services.
Designed after the X-04 Beam Machine Gun Prototype developed for the AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra, and earlier RX-78GP04 Gundam Gerbera, this Nygaard Concern copy functions much in the same manner as its Anaheim Electronics counterpart, though its power consumption is scaled down to allow the Gelgoog's older generator to operate it, thus its effectiveness at longer ranges is questionable.
This iconic melee weapon has been modified by the Nygaard Concern to be capable of splitting into two separate beam sabers by way of a decoupling unit in the shaft and the replacement of the single battery with two at each end.
Originally conceived as a component for mobile workers, the Nygaard Concern has seen fit to equip the Gelgoog [Stutzer]/Nygaard with a grapple wire, possessing many uses in both combat and noncombat applications.
