Breaching our Maginot Line: Ebola in U.S. Was Clearly Preventable
By Jean Kaufman 2014-10-24T11:15:05
For a while, it seemed the U.S. Ebola crisis might be calming down. But it was unrealistic to think we had seen the last case of ebola in the United States. Now, with yesterday's diagnosis of Dr. Craig Spencer, recently returned to New York City from treating Ebola patients in Guinea, the situation is back and more public than ever.
Even before Dr. Spencer's diagnosis, when we were only dealing with the fallout from the first Ebola patient to be diagnosed in this country, it had already become necessary to take a hard look at the depth and breadth of the institutional rot that had been revealed. Who would have thought the arrival of one ailing Liberian could have uncovered such unpreparedness and incompetence within our health care system? On the national and the local levels, from prevention to diagnosis, from crisis intervention to communication to containment, the deficits appear to have been greater than even the most cynical among us might have imagined.
Each line of defense was breached, one by one, in ways that have seemed frighteningly careless. Our Maginot Line failed to protect as promised. Through it all there were repeated attempts to reassure us, but as the problems mounted, those confident assurances were exposed.
Health authorities did not lack warnings or time to prepare. Ebola has had outbreaks in Africa for nearly four decades, and the current epidemic in East Africa, the largest by far, has caused worldwide alarm for several months. As long as people were allowed to arrive in this country from Ebola-ravaged areas of Africa, it should have been glaringly obvious that the entry of a patient into the U.S. was a strong possibility and would present unique and serious challenges. We needed to address the issue as if it would happen, and to have stout defenses in place already.
A commonsense first line of defense is a travel restriction. Instead, the administration, for political reasons -- chose to rely on the screening measures in place in African airports to prevent the exit of people who might have Ebola. These efforts were designed to identify those at high risk of recent exposure, as well as those who were already beginning to exhibit symptoms. But the screening depends on self-reported questionnaires and temperature-taking to detect the presence of early disease. Obviously, this system is porous -- and U.S. officials knew this. The questionnaires are susceptible to ignorance or lying, and a fever can be foiled by Tylenol, inadequate equipment, or poorly trained screening personnel.
Because of those obvious vulnerabilities, authorities must have assumed that the measures would fail as a first line of defense, and that someday a patient would walk into a U.S. emergency room exhibiting symptoms of Ebola. That being the case, plans for this eventuality should have been comprehensive, detailed, and communicated clearly and urgently to every hospital in America, and accompanied by training.
It is obvious now that this did not happen, and that preparations were desultory and marked by a strong sense of denial. Even knowing of the flawed screening measures, the administration seemed to believe it almost certainly wouldn't happen here. This attitude seems to have filtered down through the system.

Newsom gives $100,000 to Florida Gov. DeSantis' Democratic opponent
San Jose Mercury News (San Jose, Calif.) | Aug 26, 2022 | News | 9
File - U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist, D-St. Petersburg, waves to supporters during a campaign rally as he annouces his run for Florida governor Tuesday, May 4, 2021, in St. Petersburg, Fla. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)
With his reelection against a little-known GOP state senator more or less assured, Gov. Gavin Newsom waded deeper into the politics of far-away Florida with his Thursday announcement of a $100,000 donation to the Democrat running against Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The donation to Charlie Crist, a former Republican governor of Florida now running for his old job as a Democrat, follow's Newsom's July 4 weekend ad by in the Sunshine State in which he criticized DeSantis, a rising GOP star and potential 2024 presidential candidate in a race Newsom is rumored to be eyeing.
"For a governor to be taking his money and parking it in someone else's race is unusual," said political analyst Bill Whalen, a Hoover Institution fellow who worked in former Gov. Pete Wilson's administration and consulted for former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Los Angeles mayor Richard J. Riordan.
"Time to make Ron DeSantis a one-term governor," Newsom said on Twitter of his potential presidential rival, announcing "I'm pledging $100k right now" to Crist. "Who will join me in helping Charlie become the next Governor of Florida?"
Newsom's campaign did not immediately respond to questions about the donation.
Newsom has said he's not running for president and that Vice President Kamala Harris should be President Joe Biden's successor as the Democratic Party's nominee. But polls have shown both Biden and Harris to be unpopular, even among Democrats, and Newsom often is mentioned as an alternative should Biden and Harris bow out.
Crist tweeted a thank you to Newsom for his "generosity and support."
DeSantis hasn't commented on Newsom's donation to his reelection rival on Twitter. But his campaign spokeswoman, Christina Pushaw, dismissed the threat from Newsom.
"Who needs opposition research when your opponents are like this," Pushaw tweeted Thursday.
Whalen said governors typically help their party's other candidates by hosting fundraisers or traveling across the country to join them in campaign appearances. But he said it will be telling to see if Newsom travels to Florida, Georgia, Texas and other states where Democrats are trying to unseat Republican governors.
If the races are close, Whalen said, those candidates may not want to be linked to Newsom and California, where far-left policies and the states high taxes, home and gas prices, rampant homelessness and other problems could potentially alienate undecided voters.
"For Democrats in other states, this is complicated lining up with this guy," Whalen said.

You can find Sunstroke Newsom all over the sidewalks of San Francisco.
That is, if you go through his dubious list of so-called accomplishment, his only real legacy.
And now he hopes to do it to Florida, and eventually, the entire Country.
inluminatuo on 8:49 am August 26, 2022 at 8:49 am
Newsom can afford to be so generous,,,with other people's money. I guarantee you this will not come out of his personal bank account, and probably even never will. Just more media hype to promote the allusion that politicians actually create their own wealth rather than the truth that they just redistribute the real wealth and life force earned by others. Keep an eye on his campaign fund donations of dirty money I am sure is laundered in ways that make "THE BIG GUY" look like an amateur wash woman.
Makes me wonder, HOW MUCH of it came from WE the tax victim?

* Charlie Crist began his political career as a Republican, serving in the Florida Senate from 1993 to 1999,
* April 2010, Crist left the Republican Party to run as an independent.
* On December 7, 2012, Crist joined the Democratic Party.
I believe that self-righteous, self-serving Charlie Crist is not loyal to anyone or anything except himself.
Charlie Crist is only in politics for riches and power that he can con out of the taxpayers.

Malaika Arora And Kirron Kher React On Sajid Khan Sexual Harassment Allegations: Women Are Not Playthings, Don't Take Them For Granted
Judges on India's Got Talent get talking about #MeToo movement and the Sajid Khan sexual harassment allegations

We caught up with Kirron Kher and Malaika Arora this afternoon on the sets of India's Got Talent. The topic drifted towards #MeToo and the two ladies spoke very candidly. Read what they had to say about the campaign and Sajid Khan
Talking about the #MeToo movement which is fast gathering movement, Kirron said: "It's happening all over the world, not only in film industry. There is a law called Vishakha guidelines and I feel it should be followed everywhere. It has to be followed and if things are not being done in that regard, then it has to be investigated why they are not being done. Jo itne itne saal wait karte hain apni baat bolne ke liye unhe immediatelytely bolna chahiye. It is happening unfortunately because of the mindset. Why is rape happening in the world? Why did it happened to Nirbhaya in Delhi? Women are not respected."
Malika Karan And Kiran Kher In Indias Got Talent
Malaika said, "I have a son and so does Kirron Ji. It's very important to start at the root level. You teach them that you should not take women for granted. Don't think women are like playthings. Because unfortunately that is the mind set. You have to teach your son that you should respect women."
Sonali Sajid And Rachel White
Talking about Sajid Khan who has been accused by Saloni Chopra and Rachel White, Kirron Kher said, " I know him for many years. Jabtak mere saath Kuch nahi hua, toh main kya bolu? Ab usme kitna Sach Hai kya hai only Sajid can answer or the young ladies who have made the allegations. I don't think it is right for me to comment on what has been written on social media. Because I haven't seen it with my eyes. And I have not experienced it either. Still the women must have their say and I respect the girls who have come out and called out." Malika endorse Kirron on this, and said, "If a woman has spoken up, I think you have to hear her out, you have to give her that chance and if something has happened then I am sure the law will take its course and if you are at fault and blamed, you should be punished for what you have done."

and then, in November, he told her that exactly because they were so wrong for each other, exactly because it seemed such a bad idea, the two of them together would probably be such a great fit, such an opportunity for happiness. Yes, we would most likely destroy each other, but think about how great we'd be together, how happy we would be until then. And maybe we can be clever enough to get out of it just in time.

Popular sweet, spicy basil that is essential in Thai cuisine. Very flavorful with a nice licorice taste.
These plants did great in the container garden on my urban rooftop. I stared the seeds indoors in February and the seedlings were so small and delicate at first. I had my doubts about whether they would survive when I transplanted them outside. My building's rooftop is super windy and has an extreme of temperatures - very chilly in the Spring and blazingly hot in Summer. But after a while, these guys took off and grew into a beautiful, flourishing bush. It helps to harvest often, as this seemed to encourage new shoots and less bolting. I grew another Thai basil variety (Siam Queen) and these leaves were much more tender and tasty. They lasted well into the Fall, too. I will definitely be growing them again next season.
What are the cons? start early!
I started this via winter sowing but it took a while to grow. Plants were small for a long time. But when they picked up they really did! I am drying basil right and left and I have tons of it. Love it! Excellent anise flavor.
Did I mention that it is flavorful? I have grown several of the varieties offered on this website and this one I like the best. I use it in salads, sandwiches, curries. I even chop them up and add to the meat when making meatballs.
What are the pros? Easy to grow, love 4 cooking!
I REALLY recommend this if you like cooking. It is an unusual herb, so guests are really impressed by it, it is very easy to grow and has very low maintenance (we went away for 3 weeks and when we returned they where huge), I pinched them when they where small (15cm aprox) so they grew really bushy and beautiful. It is excellent for soups, tea and so many thai recipes. It also flowers a lot so it is easily reseeded.

In pictures: Jack Savoretti at Forest Live 2019
By Matt Hall
Jack and his band performed on the penultimate night of Westonbirt's 2019 summer concert season.
Savoretti was joined by special guests, The Wandering Hearts, who warmed up the crowd with their folk tunes including Wish I Could and Wild Silence.
Jack brought a strong set to the stage - providing a mix of warm and intimate tracks - allowing fans to enjoy a Saturday evening amongst the arboretum's stunning tree collection.
He and his band performed material from his new album Singing to strangers, including Candlelight and Love Is on the Line and alongside classic Savoretti tracks such as Soldier's Eyes and Sweet Hurt.
Jack got the crowd dancing and singing along to his alternative, acoustic cover of Human, by the Killers as the sun began to set.
Dropping anecdotes between songs, he spoke of his marriage, wife and his love for music.
Savoretti closed his set with an encore of Going Home, a release from his first number-one album which was released in 2019.
Forest Live is a major outdoor live music series held every summer by Forestry Commission England in seven beautiful forests, including Westonbirt Arboretum.
Over 1.75 million people have attended a forest gig in the last 18 years.

FILE - Motorists pass by a stretch of a metro railway project being constructed in Hanoi, Vietnam, April 7, 2013.
Vietnam's transport minister has publicly criticized the management of a Chinese railway company following accidents at a key elevated railway construction project in the capital, Hanoi.
Dinh La Thang was seen in a nationally televised broadcast late Wednesday shouting and pointing his fingers at a representative of the China Railway Sixth Group during a meeting.
The minister's blunt words were delivered days after a scaffolding collapse that nearly killed a taxi driver and his passengers, and a month after an incident involving a crane left one person dead.
Thang urged the Chinese side to fire its consultants and subcontractors and replace them with local workers.
In response, the contractor's representative said his company would follow Thang's instructions and hold his staff accountable for what happened.
The first urban railway project in Hanoi, with a preferential loan from the Chinese government, has faced repeated delays, costing Vietnam approximately $300 million.
Public concerns over the infrastructure contract come amid anti-China sentiment sparked by Beijing's assertive moves in the South China Sea last year.
During the height of the confrontation over a Chinese oil rig in disputed waters, Vietnamese rioters attacked and severely damaged several Chinese-owned businesses across Vietnam.

Users will get more control on Instagram, opportunities will increase for creators
Instagram head Adam Mosseri has announced the app's key priorities for the year 2022. He focused on video, messaging, transparency and creators as four key areas. In the coming year, this photo-sharing app will focus on these areas. The Instagram head also talked about the update that came to the app this year. These include sensitive content controls and a feature to hide like counts. Instagram also released limits and hidden words this year, which block direct messages (DMs).
In a video on Twitter, Mosseri revealed Instagram's goals for 2022.
In his video, Mosseri said that we have to re-think what Instagram is because the world is changing rapidly. We have to change with this. Mosseri lists Instagram's priorities for 2022. These include video, messaging, transparency, and creators.
In the coming year, Instagram is planning to merge all its video formats around the reels.
Mosseri said that we are going to double our focus on video. We are no longer just a photo-sharing app. Mosseri said Instagram will focus on messaging and will double up on controls in the coming year to improve transparency. He said that to help and empower the creators, more earning opportunities will be given on the app.
Mosseri said that we are thinking about who we are, what we value and what kind of change we want to see in the world.
Mosseri also talked about the work that was introduced this year to give users more control over their feeds and profiles. These include controls brought in to filter sensitive content, 'hide like count' and 'limits' feature.
The sensitivity filter was introduced in July. It allows users to set limits on sensitive content on their "Explorer" page. With the help of hide like count feature, users can remove the number of likes on their posts. On the other hand, limits automatically hide comments and direct message requests from people who do not follow the user or who have started following the user some time ago.

The Literary Encyclopedia - Biography of Matthew Parker
Parker, Matthew
August 6, 1504 Norwich England
May 17, 1575 (aged 70) Lambeth England
Role In:
Matthew Parker, (born Aug. 6, 1504, Norwich, Norfolk, Eng.—died May 17, 1575, Lambeth, London), Anglican archbishop of Canterbury (1559–75) who presided over the Elizabethan religious settlement in which the Church of England maintained a distinct identity apart from Roman Catholicism and Protestantism.
Parker studied at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and was ordained a priest in 1527, though he had already become sympathetic to Lutheranism. From 1535 to 1547 he was dean of a college of priests in Suffolk and from 1544 to 1553 master of Corpus Christi College, occasionally holding other positions concurrently, such as chaplain to Henry VIII (1538) and vice chancellor of the University of Cambridge (1545, 1549). Forced to resign and retire to private life under the Roman Catholic Mary I, he was consecrated archbishop of Canterbury 13 months after Elizabeth I's accession.
As archbishop, Parker supervised the revision of Archbishop Thomas Cranmer's 42 doctrinal articles of 1553: the Thirty-Nine Articles (on which the Church of England doctrinally rests) were printed in 1563 and authorized in 1571. He also organized a new translation of the Bible, himself translating Genesis, Matthew, and some Pauline letters; this Bishops' Bible (1568) was official until the King James Version (1611). The most troubled part of Parker's primacy involved the increasing conflict with the extremer reformers in the Church of England, known from about 1565 as Precisians, or Puritans (who were not curbed until after his death at age 71).

Elements of Set Theory : The Note
This is my note during the reading of the book Elements of Set Theory by Herbert B. Enderton .
The book is great.
Baby Set Theory
Sets - An Informal View
In a naive approach, here is some definition.
A set is a collection of things(called its members or elements), and the collection being regarded as a singel object.
\(t\in A\) means \(t\) is a member of \(A\), and \(t\notin A\) means \(t\) is not a member of \(A\).
\(A==B\) could be translated that \(A\) has the exact same members as \(B\), in which case, \(A\) could be \(\{2,3,5,7\}\) and \(B\) could be the set of all solutions to the equation \(x^4-17x^3+101x^2-247x+210=0\)
to which, we say:
Principle of Extensionality \(\quad\) If two sets have exactly the same members, then they are equal.
In a less naive approach, we could say:
Principle of Extensionality \(\quad\) If \(A\) and \(B\) are sets s.t. for \(\forall t\) \[ t\in A \iff t\in B \] then \(A=B\).
Empty set, noted as \(\emptyset\), has no members at all. and it's the only set with no members.
\(\emptyset \in \{\emptyset\}\) and \(\emptyset \notin \emptyset\), so \(\emptyset \neq \{\emptyset\}\)
Union and Intersection \(\quad\) noted respectively as \(\cup\) and \(\cap\), means all elements of \(A\) and/or \(B\) and all elements of \(A\) and \(B\)
The set of all subsets of \(A\) is noted as power set \(\mathscr{P} A\) of \(A\), also could be noted as \(2^{A}\)
Method of abstraction \(\quad\) is a very flexible way of naming a set. Notation used for the set of all objects \(x\) s.t. the condition P(x) holds is \[ \{x|P(x)\} \]
This method causes two disastrous paradoxes in set theory, which is
Berry's Paradox \(\quad\) an expression which is self-referenced negatively
Russell's Paradox \(\quad\) exemplified by \[\{x|x\notin x\}\]
None of the later work will depend on this informal description.
Skip if you want.
First we gather around all the things that are not sets but we want to have as members of our sets, call such things as atoms. Atoms are not sets of any kind. We put all of those atoms in a set which could be noted as \(A\), it is the first set in out description.
And now imagine a hierarchy \[ V_0 \subseteq V_1 \subseteq V_2 \subseteq \cdot\cdot\cdot \] of sets, and we take \(V_0 = A\), the set of all atoms, and we difine the rest of the sets recursively, for example: \[ V_1 = V_0 \cup \mathscr{P}V_0 = A \cup \mathscr{P}A \] so, the general formula for constructing this hierarchy of sets would be: \[ V_{n+1} = V_n \cup \mathscr{P}V_n \] Thus we obtain $V0, V1, V2,….$, but this infinite hierarchy does not include enough sets. For example, the infinite set \[ \{\emptyset,\{\emptyset\},\{\{\emptyset\}\},...\} \] but we have \(\emptyset \in V_1\),$\{ ∅ \} ∈ V2 $, etc. To remedy this lack, we contrust an infinite union \[ V_{\omega} = V_0\cup V_1 \cup \cdot\cdot\cdot \] and then let \(V_{\omega+1} = V_{\omega} \cup \mathscr{P}V_{\omega}\), and in general for any \(\alpha\), \[ V_{\alpha+1} = V_{\alpha} \cup \mathscr{P} V_{\alpha} \] so we could conclude that for each set \(S\), \(\exists \alpha\) s.t. \(S \in V_{\alpha}\)
And for now, if we banish the atoms, instead take \(A=\emptyset\), and here is the ordinals.
There is no "set of all sets", which is later presented as a theorem, provable from the axioms.

Twinwall ducting is an invaluable product to have on hand when a need for high strength ducting arises. This can be, say, when the ducting is used at a greater depth than it usually would, perhaps under a road, path or driveway – because it then needs to be much stronger than the usual ducting.
Perhaps the secret of twinwall ducting's strength is that it's made from HDPE [High Density Polyethylene], and is therefore actually stronger and lighter than PVC is?
There are plenty of ways in which twinwall ducting can offer useful advantages to a range of service workers in the fields of gas, water, electricity, traffic signal, cable TV, telecommunication, railtrack and more, so here we look in a little more detail at the top five of those benefits so you can decide if they are of use to you.
Twinwall ducting provides compression strength, which means it can deal with very high-pressure levels without breaking or becoming less effective. In part it is the corrugations which are on the outside of the twinwall ducting which adds this extra level of strength.
Based on NJUG recommendations twinwall ducting comes in a range of colours, each of which serves its own specific purpose. Typically these are black for electrics, yellow for gas services, purple is used for motorway communications, blue for water services, green which covers cable, CCTV and other telecom related services and orange which is used for street lighting.
It is designed to be both lightweight and flexible without compromising on either strength or life length. In part it is the ridged outside casing (made from polyethylene) which adds to the overall strength of twinwall ducting, and as the inside section is smooth there is no risk of cables catching and snagging and being left damaged as a result.
The strength of the ducting, along with the way it can deal with intense pressure and very low temperatures without any noticeable effect, makes twinwall ducting such an attractive material for projects which are built to last.
Twinwall ducting is available in a range of lengths and diameters, and both joints and bends can be added if extremely long runs are what you need. In many cases the twinwall ducting is flexible enough to cope, although as with all ducting it is best to plan for as few sudden and sharp twists and turns as possible.
Interestingly, there are various non-standard ways which people use twinwall ducting for, and these include using it to create a run for pets like rabbits to play and hide in, or by businesses as storage places to keep suitably shaped smaller items in.
