Dr Anna Odone, Unit of Public Health, University of Parma, said the previous version of the schedule paid too little attention to adults.
This prompted collaboration by four scientific societies – the Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health, the Italian Society of Paediatrics, Italian Federation of Family Paediatricians, and the Italian Federation of General Practitioners.
Dr Odone said that ageing populations in Italy and elsewhere in Europe will bring a rising burden of disease, along with increased economic costs. "Vaccination plays a key role in healthy ageing in the 21st century," she told a pre-conference session at the European Public Health Conference in Glasgow.
The Italian system remains complex with variations in vaccine policy arising because services are delivered by 21 separate regional authorities. Dr Odone said harmonising immunisation strategies across Europe would help to reduce inequalities and simplify adult vaccination campaigns.
Meanwhile, concerns over a perceived rise in vaccine hesitancy in Italy prompted Italian health professionals to launch VaccinarSí, a website providing vaccine information to the public.
Professor Carlo Signorelli, President, Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health, said the reasons for delaying or refusing vaccines were complex.
Nonetheless, he said health making quality information available online was essential given the growing usage of the Internet and social media. The site is supported by the Italian pharmaceutical industry and has the backing of the Ministry of Health.
The project targets the general population and healthcare workers involved in immunisation decisions and features articles, videos and multimedia presentations curated by a scientific committee.
"The Internet might not reach everyone but it is a powerful channel. The results so far of this comprehensive, publically available vaccine information have been very encouraging. They have led to a significant reduction in negative commentary and press articles regarding vaccines. Interestingly healthcare professionals are equally reaping the benefits of the website information and further expansion of the site will be considered," said Professor Signorelli.


Positive Thinking introduces the practical application of Yoga philosophy, and this weekend offers numerous tools for empowerment and for improving the quality of everyday life. You'll begin to examine the nature of your thoughts and learn to transform them, making way for a calmer mind and better relationships.

Congress to states: How can we help you boost cyber?
Written by Neal Sayatovich
House lawmakers pressed state IT executives for ways the federal government could help them better prepare for cyberattacks.
States identified cybersecurity as their "lowest-rated core competency" in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's most recent annual National Preparedness Report. During a hearing before two Homeland Security subcommittees Tuesday, state tech and emergency response leaders said boost state cyber defenses was a priority — but lamented that resource concerns stymie their efforts.
Indeed, Mark Raymond, vice president of the National Association of State Chief Information Officers, said state IT managers recognize the importance of cybersecurity: His group found in a 2015 survey that 80 percent of states had adopted a cybersecurity framework based on national standards and guidelines.
"State CIOs are committed to securing state networks, protecting the digital business of state government, and coordinating with diverse stakeholders to ensure government continuity in times of disaster," said Raymond, who also serves as Connecticut's chief information officer.
Though he cited several barriers for states addressing cyber: insufficient budgets, increased sophistication of threats and a lack of qualified cyber professionals. He added that most state governments spend 1 to 2 percent of their overall IT budget on cyber. By comparison, the federal government spends 15 percent.
"The workforce is probably the biggest challenge where federal government can help," said retired Brig. Gen. Steven Spano, president and chief operating officer of the Center for Internet Security. "That's an area where states are really struggling."
States have to compete with industry, which often offers better pay, he said at the hearing — which was held by the Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Security Technologies, and the Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Communications subcommittees. He suggested that the federal government could serve as a "catalyst" to promote interest in science and technology careers so that
Other witnesses, while praising the work the Department of Homeland Security has done to assist state governments, said that sometimes the federal government's priorities for states are not well defined.
"I think that part of it is because the [cybersecurity] emphasis from the DHS to the states and to the state administrative agents that are doing the investment adjustments are not very clear," said Mark Ghilarducci, director of emergency services for the office of the governor of California. "After all, it's an evolving field."
States will continue to face challenges in cybersecurity as the field evolves, Raymond said. As a result, states must streamline their processes and continue to partner with the federal government to position themselves for success.
"Given this background, the Congress and federal agencies should continue to partner with state CIOs and CISOs when reviewing or promulgating new data security laws or regulations to ensure that the goal of security is achieved without undue burden or redundancy," he said.

Tim has been appointed to referee the WWFA Intermediate Cup Final on Wednesday 13Th May at the Liberty Stadium, between Bonymaen Colts and South Gower.
Wow! What a shock! There must be some mistake!
A big thank you to the West Wales FA for this Appointment.
Also, the same big thank you to the Swansea Referees Society and all who have passed on their congratulations to me for this Appointment. It's without doubt my biggest game.
As the footballing cliche goes, I'm "Over The Moon" and am really looking forward to the challenge. I'd be lying if I said I was not a little nervous but once that first whistle goes I'm sure I'll be focussed on the job in hand.
Finally, I would like to pass on my heartfelt congratulations to my Assistants, T A Jones and P Meredith together with S D Williams (4th Official) for their Appointments. I am looking forward to meeting them all – I know we will be a great team!
Here's hoping the best team wins!
SOUTH Gower lifted the Evening Post West Wales FA Intermediate Cup for the first time after a 1-0 win over Bonymaen Colts at the Liberty Stadium.
Jon Swain netted the only goal shortly before the break to seal the silverware for Peter Honey-Jones's team in a tight contest with their Swansea Senior League rivals.
It was Bonymaen who had the first serious opportunity of the night after South Gower defender Matthew Jones was penalised for handball just outside the box.
Centre-back Ross Edwards smashed the free-kick goalwards, but keeper Christopher Honey-Jones made a smart block.
In the scramble that followed, Steve Gardener connected well with an overhead kick but the ball drifted harmlessly wide.
The first half was a fairly even contest, though it was South Gower who created the better chances.
Will James's 24th-minute long-ranger was saved comfortably enough by Bonymaen keeper Brian Sparkes.
But Sparkes was required to make a superb stop four minutes later when James Gowing teed up James for a fierce drive which was destined for the top corner.
A clever Dean Squires flick carved an opening at the other end but, after Dean Evans had given him the ball back, Squires dragged his shot wide.
South Gower were soon pressing again, Gowing seeing an effort deflect narrowly wide before Matthew Kendall's dipping volley was tipped to safety by Sparkes.
But the Bonymaen keeper was finally beaten three minutes before the break when Swain rose highest at the far post to nod home Andrew Ferguson's corner.
Sparkes was back in action early in the second period, kicking away a James shot after Jon Gill had charged down Edwards's clearance.
But it was Des Edwards's Bonymaen side who got stronger as the half wore on. Their appeal for a penalty was turned down after Andrew Allen tumbled, then Allen's right-wing cross reached Edwards at the back post only for him to shoot wide.
Bonymaen were enjoying their best spell, but they were not giving Honey-Jones enough work in the South Gower goal.
Ben Higgins might have sealed it for South Gower but shot wide, then Squires came as close as anyone to a leveller with a curling free-kick which Honey-Jones pawed to safety.
Bonymaen pushed hard, but it was South Gower who almost doubled their advantage late on when James's shot was well saved by Sparkes.
Bonymaen Colts: Sparkes, Robert Jones, Matthew Woods (Parry 85), Ellery, Edwards, Evans, Hughes (Cameron 80), Allen (Liam Woods 80), Gardener, Mark Woods (capt), Squires.
South Gower: Honey-Jones, Swain, Jimmy Lee (capt), Matthew Jones, Harris, James, Gowing, Kendall, B Higgins (Jon Lee 88), Gill (capt), Ferguson. Subs not used: Withey, Atherton.
What a great evening and an occasion I will never forget.
Conditions were fine with a little drizzle beforehand which left a slightly greasy surface.
Rather sheepishly, I asked the security chap if it was ok to go out onto the field to which he replied "Of course you can, you're the referee!" At that stage, it dawned on me what a big occasion my colleagues and I were lucky enough to be involved in.
Both teams played their part in a closely fought contest on a big pitch. To be fair to the players, they listened to my pre-match briefing and focussed on playing good football in front of great support for both teams.
I could have perhaps issued one or two cautions but tried to focus on talking as much as possible to the players and man managing each situation. I believe that the players responded well as there were no persistent offenders.


Violence Prevention is made up of groups working to help eliminate any emotional, physical, sexual, domestic, or other violence within our communities.
Break the Cycle inspires and supports young people to build healthy relationships and create a culture without abuse. Break the Cycle is the leading national nonprofit organization providing comprehensive dating abuse programs exclusively to young people ages 12 to 24. From the classroom to the courtroom to the floor of Congress, we work every day to give young people, and those who care about them, the tools they need to live safer, healthier lives.
VetoViolence is CDC's online source for free violence prevention trainings, tools, and resources. Check out the VetoViolence website to learn how to stop violence, before it happens.
Research suggests that over the course of a year, nearly 60 percent of the children in the United States will either experience or witness violence, crime, or abuse in their homes, schools, or communities. Exposure to violence leaves physical and emotional scars that can last a lifetime. Youth who have been exposed to violence are more likely later in life to abuse drugs and alcohol, suffer from depression and other disorders, have difficulty in school, and engage in criminal behavior. Too often, the violence that children experience and witness is regarded as little more than the price of growing up.
Cure Violence stops the spread of violence in communities by using the methods and strategies associated with disease control – detecting and interrupting conflicts, identifying and treating the highest risk individuals, and changing social norms – resulting reductions in violence of 40% to 70%.
When domestic violence survivors escape a dangerous home situation, they often find safety at an emergency shelter. The time period in which women can stay in a shelter varies—sometimes they can stay for weeks, sometimes a few months. But where do they go then?
Striving to reach new audiences and transform social norms, we train professionals such as doctors, nurses, judges, and athletic coaches on improving responses to violence and abuse. We also work with advocates, policymakers, and others to build sustainable community leadership and educate people everywhere about the importance of respect and healthy relationships.
HazingPrevention.Org is a national organization dedicated to empowering people to prevent hazing, by providing education and resources, and building partnerships with others. Major initiatives of the organization include National Hazing Prevention Week™, the Novak Institute for Hazing Prevention™, and educational courses that touch the lives of thousands of individuals, organizations, campuses and communities.
Take the pledge and make a personal commitment to help keep women and men safe from sexual assault.
Love is Louder was started by The Jed Foundation, MTV, and Brittany Snow to support anyone feeling mistreated, misunderstood, or alone. It's hundreds of thousands of people just like you who have turned this idea into a movement. A movement of all types of people who have come together to raise the volume around the message that love and support are louder than any internal or external voice that brings us down.
Loveisrespect's mission is to engage, educate, and empower young people to prevent and end abusive relationships.

Corrine Brown Sentenced to Five Years in Prison in Fraud Case
Corrine Brown / Getty
David Rutz • December 4, 2017 11:25 am
Former Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown (Fla.) was sentenced to five years in prison on Monday for her conviction in a federal fraud case involving a charity she used to enrich herself.
The sentence matches the recommendation from prosecutor Tysen Duva, who asked the judge at Brown's sentencing hearing last month to not give her anything less than five years, according to Action News Jax.
Brown was convicted in May on 18 counts of wire fraud, tax evasion and other charges stemming from her theft from a Virginia-based charitable foundation. She was found guilty on seven counts of wire fraud, five counts of mail fraud, one count of scheme to conceal material facts, three tax fraud charges, and one count of obstructing IRS laws:
More than $800,000 was deposited into One Door for Education, the Virginia-based foundation. Only $1,200 of the foundation's money went to charity.
Federal authorities discovered last year that Brown, Elias, and Carla Wiley, the foundation's president, spent $200,000 of the group's money on NFL tickets, luxury vacations, plane tickets, car repairs, and lavish events.
An FBI agent testified during the trial that Brown had cash taken from the foundation and funneled into her bank account.

Foundation president Carla Wiley was sentenced to 21 months in prison, with a three-year supervised release, for her role in the scheme, and Brown's former Chief of Staff Ronnie Simmons was sentenced to 48 months.

Q: Borderlands 2 FPS drop I have been playing Borderlands 2 for about 200 hours. A few weeks ago, however, I bought a new PC. Now the game's framerate drops down to around 20 FPS.
PC Specs:

*

*CPU: Intel i7 4790k (5GHz)

*GPU: 2x Asus Poseidon GTX 980 (SLI)

*RAM: Corsair Vengeance 64 GB Pro 2400MHz

*OS: Windows 8.1

I didn't have such issues on my old PC, which had an EVGA GTX 570 HD graphics card. Can't remember the rest of the specs on that one, though.
Any thoughts?

A: By doing a quick search (not sure this will fix your problem). This person does not have the same specs as your computer but maybe these could fix your lag spikes?
[Engine.Engine]

//PhysXGpuHeapSize=128

//PhysXMeshCacheSize=8

PhysXGpuHeapSize=256

PhysXMeshCacheSize=16

[SystemSettings]

//Fullscreen=False

//WindowedFullscreen=True

Fullscreen=True

WindowedFullscreen=False

[MemoryBudgets]

//AnimationMB=15

//AudioMB=10

//CodeMB=30

//LevelObjectsMB=4

//TerrainMB=4

//GameDataMB=3

//MaterialMB=1

//ParticleMB=5

//PhysicsMB=10

//ScaleformMB=8

//ShadersMB=10

//SkelMeshMB=2

//StaticMeshMB=10

//TextureMB=120

AnimationMB=32

AudioMB=16

CodeMB=64

LevelObjectsMB=16

TerrainMB=16

GameDataMB=16

MaterialMB=16

ParticleMB=16

PhysicsMB=32

ScaleformMB=32

ShadersMB=32

SkelMeshMB=16

StaticMeshMB=32

TextureMB=256

The above settings basically double the resource settings devoted to PhysX, as well as one setting for using Fullscreen mode. Windowed full screen mode costs some frames, so using fullscreen mode should net some extra FPS (I get around 15 FPS more using it alone). The above settings smoothed out my FPS to a steady 60 even in fairly high combat areas. The only area I currently have a problem with is one many others are as well, and that is the final area of the DLC "Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep".
This fixed the lag issue for another person on Steam Forums. His reply is:
Thanks for the clarification. Lath's tweak worked out well though, I'm getting much better framerates in areas that were previously trouble spots.
If this does not fix your problem, you can always try to delete your .ini files in your /Documents/My Games/Borderlands 2/WillowGame/Config and re-do your settings. I reccomend starting on everything very low/low and then work your graphics up until you it achieves a stable fps.

presents 23 site-specific artworks displayed throughout Basel's historic center.
Jessica Stockholder, Thomas Struth, Paloma Varga Weisz and Hannah Weinberger.
place at Messe Basel from June 14 to June 17, 2018.
Opening Monday afternoon, June 11, ART PARCOURS 2018 will reflect on the political potentials of storytelling, seeking to investigate what stories can tell us about our lives. Titled 'Telling Stories for the Future', the exhibition will encompass presentations in civic and private locations that will open exclusively for Parcours as well as collaborations with Basel's museums, encouraging alternative social and geographical encounters with the city.
Through a focus on storytelling, Samuel Leuenberger, Director and Curator of SALTS in Birsfelden, Switzerland, aims to cultivate commonalities and allied thinking across social, geographic, ethnic, economic and ecological boundaries. Highlights include Thomas Struth's 'Animals' (2018), a series of 10 photographs that sensitively capture animals following their moment of surrender. Installed in the Erste Kirche Christi, the work will be drawn from his recent images of scientific and surgical environments, as well as the history of memento mori in art. A program of live music, chosen by Struth in collaboration with guitarist Frank Bungarten, will be presented at selected times throughout the week.
By installing 10 sound systems throughout Basel's sewers, Hannah Weinberger will create a mysterious soundscape scattered across the city that invites the public to tune into a new experience of the city. Each of the 10 sewers will be activated with site-specific compositions created by Weinberger that play against the daily sounds of the sewers and the city.
Suspended in mid-air inside the Antikenmuseum Basel und Sammlung Ludwig, Elmgreen & Dragset's large-scale sculpture 'Hanging Rock' (2017) will act as a blockade, concealing certain elements of the architectural structure that surrounds it. Playing on the ideas of nature, gravity and natural phenomena, the piece explores preconceived views of natural beauty and the overcoming of obstacles. Pierre Huyghe's 'Exomind (Deep Water)' (2017) features a crouching female figure with a beehive growing from her head. The colony of bees living inside the hive will pollinate the surrounding flora in the garden of the Allgemeine Lesegesellschaft Basel.
Half of the positions this year feature solo artist projects and "dialogues" between two artists, the foundation of VOLTA's focused and artist-centered program. Among the 20 solo presentations for 2018: Jorma Puranen (presented by Galerie Anhava, Helsinki), a conceptual photography pioneer and celebrated vanguard of the Helsinki School; Malala Andralavidrazana (presented by Alessandro Casciaro, Bolzano), the Paris-based Malagasy artist whose re-appropriated precolonial maps encourage cultural centering and global connectivity; Jaco van Schalwyk (presented by Barnard Gallery, Cape Town), who unveils Nemora, an enveloping forest installation that reflects both Paradise and the peril of over-industrialization; Ilona Szalay (presented by Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh), a Threadneedle Prize finalist, whose figurative compositions on aluminum speak strongly to #MeToo; and a commentary on value structures, via mechanized cardboard object-sculptures by Daniel Agdag (presented by MARS Gallery, Windsor), whose film Lost Property Unity was shortlisted for Best Animated Short at the 2018 Oscars.
Highlights from the 20 dual-artist booths at VOLTA: a consideration on art as activism presented by AD Gallery (Athens), featuring Manuel Ocampo, who co-represented The Philippines at the 57th Venice Biennale, and Mihael Milunovic, subject of a major solo exhibition at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in his homeland, Serbia; an interface of digital and physical realities implemented by SCAG (Vienna), featuring new media rising stars Christiane Peschek and Julian Palacz; and a cross-generational celebration of an artist's handwork at Tezukayama Gallery (Osaka), starring mark-making minimalist veteran Moriyuki Kuwabara, who made his Art Basel debut in 1977, and emotive figurative sculptor Yoshiyuki Ooe, whose own international splash occurred nearly 40 years later at Art15 London.
The other half of VOLTA14 exhibitors convey thematic concepts and material surveys, with highlights including: "Tables Pots and Plants – A Song for Matisse", a love-letter to the still-life from V1 Gallery (Copenhagen), featuring an ensemble cast from the gallery's international roster, furniture by Charlotte Perriand, and a publication; "The Hierarchy of Scale" by Charlie Smith London (London), highlighting the classical power imbued in artworks miniature and monumental, with artists' differing dimensions in direct dialogue with one another; and Primae Noctis (Lugano) champions distinct local tradition and sociopolitical concerns across the African continent, led by Abdoulaye Konaté, the celebrated Malian textile artist whose recent exhibitions include a two-decade survey at ARKEN Museum of Modern Art (DK) and a major installation for Vive Arte Vive at the 57th Venice Biennale.
VOLTA 14 moves location for the upcoming 2018 edition, inaugurating the former COOP distribution center at Elsässerstrasse 215, adjacent to Novartis Campus, the Basel headquarters of the global healthcare company. Following the adage "there's no place like home", VOLTA's new venue is a five-minute walk from Voltaplatz, site of the original VOLTAshow and down the street from where the Rhine baptized its founders back in 2005. VOLTA 14 opens in previews on Monday, 11 June and continues through Saturday, 16 June, concurrent with Art Basel Week 2018.
Finally the best week of Basel has arrived. The Art Basel week with VOLTA, SCOPE, LISTE, DESIGN MIAMI BASEL and many other side shows. My first blog post about this years Art week is dedicated to VOLTA 13 and their partners AESOP and galleryLOG. Lets start with the AESOP installation by Irena Eden & Stjin Lernout.
German-Belgian artist duo Irena Eden & Stijn Lernout have created a site-specific installation at Aesop's Spalenberg boutique in Basel, a diaphanous intervention that plays off the building's architecture in bold, space-defining color and pattern. Their project compliments Eden and Lernout's solo booth with Krupic Kersting Galerie | Kuk (Cologne) at VOLTA13, which further defines their research into social relationships and cultural cartography via geometric abstraction.
Eden & Lernout's site-specific installation at Aesop Spalenberg, photographed by Nicholas Winter.
For VOLTA13, GalleryLOG has selected Jane Benson (exhibiting with LMAKgallery, New York), Dennis Dawson (exhibiting with frosch&portmann, New York), Erika Harrsch (exhibiting with RoFa Projects, Potomac), and Rachel Owens (exhibiting with ZieherSmith, New York).
Dennis Dawson reuses and rearranges media unearthed from consumer catalogues and other magazines, particularly loose pages that bear some prior purpose. By using material already existing materials, Dawson contributes to a dialogue of shared experience and interconnection.
Exit Highway A2 at Basel City and head towards Bahnhof SBB.
Today I wanna share a very simple body scrub DIY with all of you. Something that is done super easy and can be changed in many ways. Now lets see what you need inorder to make these body scrubs. I made two different scrubs, one with coffee and one with lemons and oranges.
In this DIY I show you how I made the coffee body scrub. Take some coffee grounds and mix it with 2 tabelspoons of coconut oil. In case your coffee grounds is still warm then you dont have to heat the coconut oil, if not I would suggest to heat it up a bit.
Add three tablespoons of normal table salt and six tablespoon of sea salt. Mix everything. And that was it. Super easy and simple. It only takes three steps and it is a great way to recycle coffee grounds.
For the lemon and orange body scrub you start with the normal and sea salt. Then you grate the peel of a lemon and orange. Squeeze the juice of the lemon and orange and mix it with the salt. Then add the coconut oil and mix everything. Again, thats all I did for this second scrub.
I use the scrubs two to three times a week after washing my body. The most amazing thing about these scrubs is, that you dont have to use any body lotion. The coconut oil totally does that job. The scrubs leave your skin super soft and especially in winter our skin can need some extra pampering.
I made these scrubs so many times and I love how simple it is. There are many ways to change them. Instead of coconut oil one could add massage oils or any other scented oils. Or you could add some fresh vanilla to the coffee scrub in order to make it a tad sweeter. The best parts about these scrubs are that you dont end up with any plastic trash and you save lots of money. Coconut oil, salt, lemons and oranges are quiet affordable and easy to find. So I would love to hear from you. Did you make any scrubs? If so, what did you use?
The Pink Ribbon Charity walk was a big success. I had lots of fun with TEAM LUBEX ANTI-AGE with whom I ran already last year. Pink Ribbon Charity Walk is taking place for the ninth time with 5,000 runners from 22 Swiss cantons.
Overall CHF 88,000 were raised and donated to the Swiss Cancer League. The annual breast cancer solidarity event has once again demonstrated the solidarity of the Swiss population with those affected, because the Pink Ribbon Walk is not about their own victory, but about putting a big sign in the fight against breast cancer in the community.
LUBEX anti-age had a booth at the Stadion. There they were handing out samples and gave helpful information about their awesome products. At the booth one had the chance to get a free hand massage treatment with the Lubex anti-age hydration oil. I would have never thought to use this oil for the hands, but indeed it works super well.
The PINK RIBBON CHARITY WALK 2016 was lots of fun. I heard that it was fully booked three days in advance. Thats awesome! In case you wanna run for a good cause next year check pink-ribbon.ch for more information.

CES: Governing Along Religious Lines: Jews, Muslims, and Christian Settlers in French Algeria, 1830-1870
When French troops invaded the Ottoman Regency of Algiers in 1830 they initiated a bloody conquest that lasted for over half a century. French colonial rule in Algeria was predicated on a treaty that legally committed France to "tolerate" the religion of local populations. This talk explores religious toleration as an instrument of colonial control; an instrument that aimed to draw the boundaries of inclusion and differentiation in French Algeria along religious (and consistorial) lines. At the same time, this colonial policy also served as a critical...

Argentina on 'collision course' towards currency devaluation
Argentina Financial Times - Reino Unido Economía Regional Benedict Mander
Gap between official and black market exchange rates continues to widen
Argentina is heading towards its seventh currency devaluation in 20 years, analysts say, as pressure builds on the peso and investors lose faith in the government's ability to stabilise the economy.
The country struck a deal to restructure $65bn of foreign debt in August, shunting debt repayments far into the future. But financial markets remain fragile. Bond prices have dropped back down to distressed levels, equity prices have collapsed and the gap between the official and black market exchange rates is widening.
Analysts and investors think that with just $1bn in liquid reserves to hand, Argentina's central bank will be forced to tighten restrictions on imports and reset the peso at a new, much weaker value.
"They are on a collision course [towards a devaluation]. The question is how long it takes," said Alejo Costa, a strategist at BTG Pactual, a Brazilian investment bank. "If they keep postponing a devaluation, the inflationary impact will only get larger — and more [politically] destabilising . . . but this kind of administration only devalues its currency when it is forced to."
Local savers and businesses have little faith in the peso's value. Under the official exchange rate set by the central bank, one dollar buys 77 pesos. But on the black market, it buys more than double that — a record gap.
A devaluation poses a problem because it would push up inflation at a time when prices are already rising very fast.
Already, the official peso rate has dropped 22 per cent against the dollar so far this year, in a slide that accelerated in early October after tighter capital controls were introduced.
The government has sought to control the currency's pace of decline, with measures including tighter capital controls and lower taxes for the agricultural powerhouse's soya exporters. But those measures are unlikely to have much impact, say analysts. Reserves fell by $1.2bn in the second half of September after they were announced.
"Unfortunately, the measures have not created any incentive to increase the supply of dollars, so the central bank is clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel in search of more dollars," said Martin Redrado, a former central bank governor. A $3.1bn loan from the Bank for International Settlements could help to buy some time, he said.
Given the crisis of confidence facing the government, authorities had only two options, said Miguel Kiguel, a former finance secretary. One is simply to devalue the peso, like the last devaluation under a Peronist government in 2014 when the currency lost about a quarter of its value — although that might not be enough this time around.
The second option is to introduce a formalised dual exchange rate system, with many operations moved to a new weaker exchange rate, but a much narrower gap between the two rates than exists today.
"The government is trapped in a very difficult situation where any alternative has costs . . . [but] it's going to be very hard to maintain the status quo," he said. "But more than that, they need an integral economic plan, otherwise [any success] will last the blink of an eye."
The IMF, which has lent Argentina $44bn since the country's last currency crisis in 2018, may help towards the implementation of an economic plan to restore calm to markets. The multilateral lender, which sent officials to Buenos Aires on a fact-finding mission last week, is unlikely to demand tough austerity measures in return for assistance at a time when poverty has risen to more than 40 per cent due to the pandemic.
Argentina's coronavirus lockdown has been one of the longest and strictest in the world, exacerbating the economic blow. It has just been extended once again to October 25.
One former official believes the government will be forced to act by the end of November because this year's steady depreciation in the peso of about 2 to 3 per cent a month would no longer be sustainable. "Although the government might be able to hold on for longer than many think, once the situation accelerates, it goes fast. It looks like there are practically no breaks on this dynamic already."
Proceeds from the farming nation's soya exports are due to start arriving by March, prompting many analysts to believe the government could "muddle through" perhaps until the middle of next year.
But with midterm elections due in October next year, that strategy would be risky for the government. Deeper economic strain could compromise the re-election chances of the Peronist government in 2023.
"They can hold on for a very long time through tighter and tighter capital controls," said Graham Stock, head of emerging market sovereign research at BlueBay Asset Management. "But that's moving policy in the wrong direction . . . Politically, that's very dangerous, as it would be a symbol of very low confidence in economic management."
"They are caught between a rock and a hard place," Mr Stock said, pointing to the impact of the pandemic that has aggravated a recession now in its third year. "There are no easy answers."

Governments and ruling regimes tend to face revolution in the face of harsh hikes in prices. Margaret Thatcher's rule in Britain was rocked by the poll tax. In France, the once enthusiastically embraced Emmanuel Macron has decided to leave the ground rich with challenges against his administration. The Yellow Vests, the gilet jaunes, have decided to take up the chance protesting with such intensity it has led to death and serious injury.
The pretext was an old one. An increase in carbon taxes was imposed in 2017 as part of a push to support renewables. "Support for renewable energy," announced the environment ministry, "will be increasingly financed by a tax on fossil fuel consumption." In 2018, the amount rose from 30.5 euros to 44.6 euros per ton, rising to 55 next year. Diesel and petrol have been affected, a matter than proves less of a problem for those in city environs, serviced by public transport, than rural areas, where the car remains essential. "Macron has to understand," came the familiar sentiment from demonstrator Patrick Perez, "that Paris is not France."
In the second round, France duly divided along the lines of favouring Le Pen or fearing her, hence Macron's deceptively bolstered victory. The grand centrist was born, a person who had been warned in 2008 by friends that joining the Rothschild investment bank would mar his political prospects. The "Mozart of finance" is finding the job of governing France a far more complex prospect than the cold business of debt restructuring, mergers and acquisitions.
To his Romanian hosts, he explained with the relief of someone away from a troubled home that France was "not a reformable country… because French and women hate reform". Many leaders had failed in the effort to buck this trend. To his Danish hosts, he was similarly heaping upon the French some manured derision while praising his audience in Copenhagen. "What is possible is linked to a culture, a people marked by their own history. These Lutheran [Danish] people, who have lived through the transformations of recent years, are not exactly Gauls who are resistant to change."
But part of the issue with tarnished presidential popularity has been a diminishing of a position that always demanded a certain, high-peak majesty. The French president, gravitas and all, was also a European, if not global statesman. Macron's predecessors, Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande, were also victims of the 2000 referendum which reduced the period of the presidency from seven years to five. (This is not to say these characters were not, in of themselves, defective in character or policy.) Then, as now, the French authorities also faced a national revolt over high fuel taxes.
While seen as a necessary mercy for a modern time, le quinquennat had the added effect, according to historian Jean Garrigues, of encouraging the leader to be seen as temporary commodity, easily purchased, irritably used, then disposed of. "Voters no longer believe in ideology, they consume and then reject their elected representatives, including the President of the Republic." A clue was in the 2000 referendum turnout: 70 percent preferred to stay away from the polls. "A little yes, but a big slapdown," came the observation of le Parisien. As ever, the French, masters of the strike, had initiated something similar at the ballot box.
The Yellow Vest movement is not a Gallic shrug but a shaking roar. The initial target was increased fuel taxes, but the indignation has become a broader church of disaffection on living in general. It is also being given a ringing endorsement by political opportunists who argue that the movement has no political roots. Le Pen has been there, fanning matters while providing Christophe Castaner, the interior minister, a distracting if shaky alibi. "The ultra-Right is mobilised and is building barricades on the Champs-Elysées." For him, such protests are the work, not of a broad movement but a few casseurs, or troublemakers.
Macron is doing his level best to avoid confronting the movement, but his Prime Minister Edouard Philippe is attempting to bribe the protesters into silence, or at the very least a more timorous form of disagreement. Energy subsidies to 5.6 million households, up from the current number of 3.6 million, are being proposed. France's poorest families will also see fuel credits directed to those whose livelihood depends on car travel. These measures, alone, will be no panacea for Macron's declining influence.


If Trump Declares a National Emergency, What Happens Next?
If President Donald Trump declares a national emergency to fund some portion of a wall along the US-Mexico border without congressional authorization, what would happen next?
As I explain in my book "Emergency Presidential Power," presidents generally claim emergency power two ways: through inherent or implied authority under the US Constitution or under statutory authority granted by Congress.
Relying on the Constitution as a basis for emergency power is controversial, and less likely to stand up to meaningful congressional or judicial review. The US Constitution says nothing specific about presidential emergency power: Presidents can only claim such authority is implied or inherent.
Perhaps most importantly for Trump, the National Emergencies Act provides no criteria for deciding whether a national emergency exists.
Under Jackson's test, presidents are on the strongest possible footing when acting with congressional approval. In this case, Jackson said, Truman's position was weak since he was taking action that did not comply with the relevant legislative framework. In Jackson's view, Truman's reliance on inherent emergency power under the Constitution would dangerously concentrate power in the president's hands, something the framers would not have wanted. When factory owners sued the administration, the Supreme Court, by a 6-3 vote, ruled against Truman in the famous Youngstown Sheet decision. Justice Robert H. Jackson's concurring opinion in that case has been especially influential and is often cited by legal scholars and judges. He outlined a three-part test to be used as a starting point in determining when presidential action is constitutionally permissible.
The National Emergencies Act permits the president to declare a national emergency without congressional approval, triggering specific statutory powers that the president can use. For instance, presidents have used this law to impose economic sanctions against terrorists after 9/11 or regulate foreign ships in US waters. Thirty-one emergency declarations are currently in effect under the statute.
For example, in 1846 President James Polk falsely claimed that Mexico had spilled American blood on US soil as a pretext for gaining a declaration of war from Congress.
By contrast, it would be straightforward for Congress to reverse a declaration of national emergency. The National Emergencies Act gives legislators authority to reject a presidential declaration of national emergency through simple legislation that would require majorities in the House and Senate. President Trump would presumably veto such action. Legislators would have the opportunity to override a presidential veto with a two-thirds majority vote. That, of course, would be no easy task in the current Congress.

Bedding can be provided, but in the winter, you may wish to bring an extra blanket if you suffer from the cold. A torch, raincoat or umbrella, and gumboots or other sturdy footwear are necessary. Those staying at the monastery are expected to attend the core daily spiritual activities. All visitors are asked to respect the codes of conduct of abstaining from killing stealing, lying, sexual misconduct, and the use of intoxicants, including cigarettes. Pets are not allowed on the monastery grounds. The front gate usually is locked by 7:30 pm. You will need to bring your own vegetarian food, meat may not be cooked in the Bodhi House.

City animation institute wins excellence award
Creative Mentors, a city based animation and gaming institute, is on top of the moon after picking up an award for excellence in technical education
Published: 19th April 2013 08:11 AM | Last Updated: 19th April 2013 08:11 AM | A+A A-
By Rahul V Pisharody | ENS
Hyderabad seems to be emerging as an animation hot spot, what with Tollywood director Rajamouli's movie Eega picking up a national award for special effects. And now, city-based Creative Mentors has been awarded the Best Excellence in Animation and Gaming Education by Brand Academy and Big Brands Research.
Considered to be one of Asia's premiere awards, Suresh Kovvuri, managing director of Creative Mentors walked away with the prize, which was awarded in New Delhi last Saturday. The 32-year old tells us more.
A mechanical engineer by education, Suresh says he was interested in gaming since his childhood and always dreamt of setting up an animation school. With more than a decade's worth of work experience in the industry, six years ago, he realised his dream with Creative Mentors.
"We have tie ups with many major colleges and universities including MG University in Meghalaya and by next month, we are opening our new college at Madhapur," informed Suresh, who has not had any formal training himself.
Learning on the job, which he feels is the best way to do so, Suresh picked up the tricks of the trade from his time at Satyam Animation in Chennai, DQ at Hyderabad, Synergy Images at Bangalore and Crest Animation at Mumbai.
The animator's repertoire includes work for Disney, Mike Young Production that produces children's TV series, Nick--American satellite network and National Geographic Channel Germany.
Over the years, the engineer turned animator is of the opinion that the State has the largest pool of manpower but is unable to tap into the Rs 3,900 crore potential of the animation industry in the country.
"Given the long tradition of culture, the treasure trove of various folk arts and tales, abundant pool of animators with excellent technical skills, low cost operations, the vibrant film industry, experience in multi platform development and design and excellent technical education infrastructure, Hyderabad could very well be the next big animation capital of the world," he states. With a city that hosts over 150 colleges offering the specialisation and over 30 animation studios and companies, he doesn't see why not.
Creative Mentors managed to tip that potential in their favour when they were selected from over thousands of entries from across the country. With each city being awarded, Creative Mentors was one of the privileged few that made the cut.
"It means so much to me to win this award. The whole team put so much love into every frame of animation we produced, it's amazing to have our efforts and work recognised," shares a beaming Suresh.
The timing for them couldn't have been better though. The team is currently working on a Bollywood 3D animation movie project Dots and the award could not have been a better morale booster.


I have always enjoyed taking walks with my kids and teaching them the names of the flowers. Nature study is an integral part of many homeschools. We call it science. It can be as simple as taking walks outside with our kids and talking about what we see. It can be as complex as keeping nature journals and drawing pictures and taking notes of what we observe. Recently, I realized that nature study can be very beneficial for moms (and dads, too.) As an adult, I may not be concerned with the botanical name, or how many petals the flower has, but nature has much to teach me.
When I spend time outside, listening to the birds and delighting in the beauty of the flowers, I learn the simple, yet difficult, lesson of trust. I encourage you to spend some time outside while reading Matthew 6. Those flowers, growing so gracefully and effortlessly, rely solely on their Creator for sustenance. They don't worry about tomorrow. They just bloom and grow. Do you struggle with worry? Do you have a hard time trusting your Father with your future plans? Look no further than the meadow flowers. They have a lesson of trust to teach you, if you will take the time to listen.
The birds are particularly good at teaching this lesson. Have you ever had the opportunity to observe a mama bird and her babies? She works hard to build a safe, secure, comfy home for her little ones. She carefully "prepares" their food to make sure it is digestible. She protects them from predators. She instinctively nurtures her babies to help them thrive. Look for opportunities to watch the birds, so you can learn from them. They aren't comparing themselves to other birds. They aren't reading manuals on how to hatch and raise baby birds. They are simply doing what YHVH put in them, which is to nurture their babies. Learn from the birds, and don't be afraid to follow their example. Cuddle your little ones more. Hug them more. Play with them more. Listen to them more. Relationship and connection with your child is not spoiling. It's absolutely necessary for their growth.
It is unavoidable to learn the value of numbering our days if we spend any time outside. We marvel at the passing of the seasons. We observe life and death at our feet. The beautiful flowers are here today, and withered tomorrow. We are only allowed a certain amount of time on this earth. We would do well to use our days wisely, as well as embrace the natural ebbs and flows of life. Life is full of seasons, ups and downs, busy days, and quiet days. We are wise to be present now, and plan for the future as well.
Psalm 1 gives an amazing picture of productivity and success, and the picture was taken outside! We have an apple orchard by our house. In the spring, we see soft, fluffy, pink blossoms, and in the fall, we see round, shiny apples. The apples are what we are really after, not the leaves, or even the blossoms. We want the fruit. In Scripture, fruit is valued as well. Have you read Galatians 5:22-23? We are expected to produce fruit in our lives. We are expected to become more like our Creator each day. Each time you look at a piece of fruit, or are able to spend time in an orchard, take time to evaluate yourself. Are you producing lasting fruit in your life?
These are a few obvious lessons nature has to teach us at any age. One amazing thing about Scripture is how visual it is. It is full of spiritual lessons that we are able to learn because the visual aid is right outside. If you have been taking nature walks with your children, you have made a great start. Now, take it up to the next level and begin looking for the spiritual secrets in nature. Don't just look at it as an opportunity to teach your children. Look at it as an opportunity to grow yourself. And I dare you to not go find an anthill after reading the verse that starts with "Go to the ant…" Bonus points if your nature journal also contains the spiritual lessons you learned while walking among the flowers with your children.

OFC 2020: Hollow-core fiber advances towards exceeding telecom fiber limit
Researchers at Southampton's Zepler Institute for Photonics say this technology "will soon eclipse conventional optical fiber rates."
Click for larger version.
Researchers from the Zepler Institute for Photonics and Nanoelectronics at the University of Southampton, UK, have demonstrated what they call "a new leap in hollow-core fiber performance", adding that it "underlines this technology's potential to soon eclipse current optical fibers."
Hollow-core fibers replace conventional glass cores with gas or a vacuum to enable properties including faster transmission speed and reduced sensitivity to environmental variations.
The novel technology, which is being developed in the Zepler Institute's Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), is believed able to reach lower loss and higher data transmission capacity than all-solid glass fibers, with current research accelerating models toward this peak performance.
The Southampton researchers and collaborators presented their latest findings in San Diego last week in two high profile post-deadline papers at OFC 2020, the world's largest optical fiber communication conference.
The latest hollow-core fibers attenuate the light traveling through it by 50% less than the previous record transmission, reported only six months ago. The maximum transmission length at which data can be relayed in such fibers has also doubled.
Thanks to an innovative design proposed at the ORC, in the space of 18 months the attenuation in data-transmitting hollow-core fibers has been reduced by a factor of >10, from 3.5dB/km to 0.28 dB/km within a factor of two of the attenuation of conventional all-glass fiber technology. At the same time, the maximum transmission distance at which large bandwidth data streams can be transmitted through an air-core has been improved by more than 10 times, from 75 to 750km.
'Revolutionizing optical communications'
Professor Francesco Poletti, Head of the ORC's Hollow Core Fibre Group, said, "Transmitting light in an air core rather than a glass core presents many advantages which could revolutionize optical communications as we know them.
"These latest results further reduce the performance gap between hollow core fibre and mainstream optical fibre technology, and the whole team is really excited by the prospect of the additional significant improvements that seem possible, according to modelling.
He added, "Latency, which is the round-trip time for communications, is becoming as important as bandwidth for the new digital economy. Network latency creates a delay between sensing and its response, causing sickness in AR/VR users, loss of fidelity in remote surgery and accidents in autonomous systems.
"These fibers deliver a vital 30% reduction in round-trip data transmission times and could enable the next generation of connected real-time digital applications, from smart manufacturing and advanced healthcare to the entertainment."
The significant improvements in attenuation and transmission distance demonstrated in the two papers preented open up the possibility to target longer reach distances, edging close to the 1,000km span of typical long distance long haul terrestrial data transmission links.
Southampton researchers are pushing the boundaries of hollow-core performance in several major research programmes, including the European Research Council-funded LightPipe and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council-funded Airguide Photonics.
The team are working in close collaboration with one of the leading groups in advanced optical communications at the Politecnico di Torino, led by Professor Pierluigi Poggiolini, and ORC spinout Lumenisity.

Cavaliers to Compete at NCAA East Regional In Track & Field
The University of Virginia track and field team is sending fourteen student-athletes to compete in the NCAA East Regional meet, which will be held in Gainesville, Fla. on the campus of the University of Florida. This meet is the next step in qualifying for the NCAA National Championships, which will take place in Austin, Texas, June 9-12. Leading the way for the Cavaliers is All-American and ACC Champion Inge Jorgensen, who ranks fourth among all collegians in the javelin with her personal-best 177′ 10″, which she set earlier this year. The top-ranked performer for the men is school recod holder Kellen Blassingame, who sits at #5 in the East meet in the 400 with his 46.18.
Jorgensen earned All-American honors in the javelin in 2001 with her fourth-place finish at the NCAA meet. She won her third ACC title this season in her third season of competition, coming back after two years out due to injury. Jorgensen will be joined by fellow javelin thrower Annie Bobiak, the 2003 ACC javelin champion, who ranks fourth all-time in Virginia history. Teammate Meggie Schuelke also earned All-ACC honors this year with her second place finish in the high jump, and she and Rachel Marks will both compete for Virginia after clearing 5′ 9.25″ this year.
The Cavaliers will have an athlete compete in both horizontal jumps as Tomika Fergasun will compete in the triple jump and fourth-year Caroline Harvey will jump in the long jump. Harvey will also compete in the 100m dash and is the only Cavalier who is declared in two events. Erin Crawford, who already ranks third all-time in Virginia history in the 400 hurdles, will run that event at the regional meet, where she enters as the tenth-ranked performer in the competition. A pair of distance runners will also race for the Cavaliers as 2002 NCAA participant Melanie Matthews will run in the steeplechase while Sharon O'Connor will compete in the 1500m run.
Blassingame will be joined in the 400m run by teammate Jason Young, whose 47.07 makes him the #4 performer all-time at Virginia in the one-lapper. McGavock Dunbar, who was runner-up in the 800m run in both indoors and outdoors, will compete in that event after running a personal-best 1:49.72 this year, which moves him into #9 on the all-time perfomers list at Virginia. Teammate Alex Tatu will run in the 1500m following his blistering 3:46.63, which ranks him at #8 all-time at Virginia as a freshman. School record holder David Sullivan, who took second at the ACC Outdoor meet with his 17′ .75″, will pole vault at the meet and comes in ranked ninth in the East.
