PreCentral: Carbon finally updated to fix broken mentions and search
At long last the single most popular Twitter app for webOS smartphones has seen an update. Long overdue, the folks at dots & lines pushed out an update to Carbon that has fixed a number of bugs and improved support for the HP Pre3. It's a minor update, but it fixes major problems.
As far as bug fixes are concerned, you can expect version 1.2.4 of Carbon to mark the return of functional feeds for Trends and Mentions, as well a working Twitter search function (in as far as Twitter search itself is working well, which often it seems to not). As for the Pre3, Carbon's graphics library has been updated to support the big-screened higher-resolution webOS smartphone, and tweaks have been applied to get rid of that damned black bar at the bottom of the screen. The end result is a crisper-looking app that fits the full 3.6-inches of the Pre3's 800x480 screen. To be honestly, we're just totally pleased to be able to see our Mentions again.
That's just the bug fixes and improvements that Carbon has seen. While we still love the webOS version, we can't help but look at the Graphite-inspired features like inline image previews that have been worked into the newer Windows Phone and Android versions of Carbon. Then again, given what we would expect the current sales rate for Carbon webOS to be, we wouldn't expect dots & lines to exert the effort it would take to rewrite Carbon to support the new features. We'll take this update and call it a happy.
Carbon 1.2.4 is available now in the App Catalog. It's a free update to current Carbon webOS users, or $1.99 to new purchasers. If you're a webOS smartphone owner and Twitter user and haven't downloaded Carbon yet... well, you might be wrong.

PGS subtitles support and darker options for subtitles color
Hello, It would be a great addition if OLED TVs had more options for subtitles color: like a dark gray, a very dark gray and maybe a transparency setting also. As it currently stands the subtitles ruin the watching experience a bit because they're too bright on HDR content :( The gray option nearly identical to white. Also support for more subtitle formats such as PGS would be great, it would remove the need to have an external device for video playback and improve the overall experien

Online Spring Benefit Success!
Community Engagement, Land Protection, News, Spring Benefit, Volunteers / By Barb Labus
We are pleased and humbled to report that our first-ever Online Spring Benefit was a tremendous success. Thanks to dedicated supporters like you, the special challenge gifts from Dale and Nancy Nichols, and Leslie Shad and Joe Brennan, together with the support of many new donors, we have raised more than $220K for our mission to preserve and restore natural lands and waters in northwestern Indiana, and to engage people in nature and conservation.

In place of our traditional in-person gathering, the innovative online fundraiser was delivered through a series of four video testimonials from supporters, and a video message from Executive Director Kris Krouse. The testimonials were shared with participants via email, on our freshly redesigned website, and through our social media channels. In case you missed them, they remain available for viewing on our website.
In his testimonial, Board Treasurer Matt Vessely spoke of the value of supporting the permanent protection of natural land in northwestern Indiana. Longtime Board Member Anne Walsh shared her passion for nature and protecting the unique ecology of the region. Volunteer Jaimee Janiga spoke of her deep connection to the natural world, Meadowbrook Nature Preserve, and the rewards of being a volunteer, and Board member Dale Nichols spoke of how he became involved, what motivates him, and the many different ways in which volunteers are vital to the success of the organization.
In his message, Kris Krouse summarized our new strategic plans to address climate change and water quality in the region, protect nature in our local communities, build an appreciation for conservation through programs that engage people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds; strengthen public access on our nature preserves, and create community conservation destinations at Meadowbrook Nature Preserve in Valparaiso, and Lydick Bog Nature Preserve in St. Joseph County.

Krouse thanked the many partners and individuals who helped to make the online event a success, including the evening's Benefactor Sponsor, Northern Indiana Public Service Company, the Karner Blue sponsor, ArcelorMittal, along with all corporate and individual sponsors.
"Given this year's unique challenges, it's truly amazing that we surpassed our monetary goals for the benefit," Krouse says. "Special recognition goes to Dale and Nancy Nichols, and Leslie Shad and Joe Brennan, who provided early challenge donations which inspired others to contribute. Their generosity produced an unprecedented response that will help assure we can continue to advance our critical work during these challenging times."
Dale and Nancy Nichols responded, "We are extremely gratified by the wonderful response from so many in support of the important work of Shirley Heinze Land Trust."
Leslie Shad and Joe Brennan remarked, "The benefit is an important fundraiser for Shirley Heinze, and we welcomed the chance to encourage the success of the online format. We were glad to encourage others to contribute. We are extremely pleased to see such a generous response."
Board President Kelly Carmichael stated, "We are so fortunate to have the unwavering support and commitment from so many people throughout the region. Their support is truly inspiring, and it will help to sustain our important work."

Camera obscura (z lat. temná komora), dírková komora nebo pinhole je optické zařízení používané jako pomůcka malířů a předchůdce fotoaparátu.

Princip
Camera obscura je v principu schránka (třeba i velikosti místnosti) s otvorem v jedné stěně. Světlo z vnější scény po průchodu otvorem dopadne na konkrétní místo na protější stěně. Promítalo-li se na papír, mohl malíř obraz jednoduše obkreslit. Výhodou této techniky bylo zachování perspektivy a tím větší realističnost výsledného obrazu.

S popsaným jednoduchým aparátem byl promítaný obraz vždy menší než ve skutečnosti a převrácený. V 18. století byla používána konstrukce se zrcadlem, která obraz promítala na průsvitný papír položený na skleněné desce na vrchu skříňky.

Se zmenšujícím se otvorem je promítaný obraz ostřejší, ale zároveň se snižuje jeho jas. Je-li otvor příliš malý, ostrost se opět začne zhoršovat vlivem difrakce. Pozdější camery obscury používaly místo otvorů objektivy, umožňující větší průměr při zachování ostrosti obrazu.

Historie
 5. století př. n. l. – čínský filozof Mo Ti popsal princip jevu, při kterém světlo procházející malým otvorem do temné místnosti, vytvoří na protější stěně převrácený obraz předmětů před otvorem.
 350 př. n. l. – Aristoteles popsal ve svém díle princip camery obscury.
 1020 – Arabský fyzik, matematik a filozof Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Hajtham známý jako Alhazen se zabýval lomem a odrazem světla a čočkami. Používal přitom desku s dírkou, před kterou vyrovnal svíčky. Jejich obraz se promítal na druhé straně desky a zakrýváním svíček zjistil, že obraz levé svíčky se promítne vpravo, z čehož odvodil, že světlo se šíří přímočaře. Arabové používali v astronomii při určování polohy Slunce nebo slunečních zatmění přístroj nazvaný později camera obscura.
 1545 – V díle De Radio Astronomica et Geometrica holandský astronom Regnie Gemma Frisius uveřejnil první nákres camery obscury, s jejíž pomocí o rok dříve pozoroval zatmění Slunce.
 1485 – Leonardo da Vinci popsal ve svém spisu Codex Atlanticus (na kterém pracoval v letech 1478–1519) praktické pokusy s využitím jevu, který nazval camera obscura čili temná místnost, a na jejich základě odvodil vztah mezi funkcí oka a perspektivou.
 1550 – Gerolamo Cardano zabudoval do vstupního otvoru camery obscury skleněnou čočku a tím výrazně zjasnil přenášený obraz.
 1550 – Gemma Frisius vsadil čočku do vstupního otvoru camery obscury, aby zvýšil světelnost.
 1558 – Neapolský vědec Giovanni Battista della Porta ve svém díle Magia Naturalis (Přírodní magie) zveřejnil ucelený popis camery obscury. Pro obveselení promítal svým hostům obrazy herců na stěnu s takovým úspěchem, že ho inkvizice málem dostala na hranici.
 1568 Giambattista della Porta vynalezl clonku ke zlepšení ostrosti kresby jednoduché spojné čočky.
 1568 – Daniel Barbaro zlepšil ostrost kresby jednoduché spojné čočky camery obscury zavedením clonky.
 1620 – Jan Kepler vyvinul přenosnou verzi camery obscury, která se stala vítanou pomůckou malířů krajin.
 1685 – Johan Zahn popsal vliv čoček o různých ohniskových vzdálenostech na velikost promítnutého obrazu a využití matnice.

V následujících desetiletích vznikaly různé modifikace camery obscury podle účelu, kterému měly sloužit. Pro vědce, malíře nebo jako turistické atrakce. Vznikaly přístroje se systémem zrcadel pro nepřevrácený obraz, malé kapesní, velké umístěné na rozhlednách a majácích.

 Walter B. Woodbury si sestrojil vlastní cameru obscuru jako student stavebního inženýrství v Manchesteru z krabice na doutníky a brýlových čoček.

What Am I Missing With This Cheap Mining Stock?
By Tyler Crowe, Jason Hall, and Matthew DiLallo – Sep 15, 2018 at 10:20AM
NYSE: CLF
Cleveland-Cliffs
(0.20%) $0.04
The market may be overlooking Cleveland-Cliffs.
Even when we're not writing about stocks, we're probably discussing some investment theme or stock that piques our interest. Here's a sneak peek at some of the conversations that go on behind the scenes with some of our writers here at The Motley Fool.
Sometimes, it's hard to see the other side of the argument when it comes to investing. At times like this, it's helpful to bounce ideas off a friend or fellow investor to challenge your thesis. Recently, I (Tyler here) have had a hard time seeing the bearish argument against U.S.-based iron ore manufacturer Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF 0.20%). I wanted to know what I was missing with this cheap stock. So I asked two colleagues to give my thesis a reality check. Here's a summary of why I'm bullish on the stock and their retorts.
Not the same company it was
I keep getting this feeling that Cleveland-Cliffs stock is priced as the company it once was rather than what it is today. A few years ago, it operated iron ore, metallurgical coal, and alloy mineral mines around the world that had marginal returns and had a huge debt load. When current CEO Lourenco Goncalves was brought in to fix the problem, he jettisoned any asset that wasn't related to its core business: U.S. iron ore mining. It's a lucrative business for a couple of reasons:
It has a dominant market share with high-grade product: Cleveland-Cliffs owns 54.9% of the U.S. iron ore pellet market, and one of its competitors (ArcelorMittal) is also its largest customer. A large portion of the iron ore it produces consists of what are called DR-grade pellets, which are the highest-quality pellet available and carry a high premium to lower-quality ores.
Geographic advantages give pricing power: Iron ore is a heavy bulk commodity, which means that transportation costs are high. As a result, Cleveland gets to lock its customers into long-term takeaway contracts that account for the base price of ore and the premium they would pay for higher transport costs. In the second quarter, Cleveland-Cliffs EBITDA margin was 45% even though the spot price of iron ore is down 50% from a decade ago.
By shedding its other assets and cleaning up the balance sheet, Cleveland-Cliffs is generating sizable profits from its core business. Now, it intends to take on another high-cost steel input that is traditionally imported, hot briquetted iron. If management's projections are to be believed, this will be an even higher-margin business that will significantly move the needle and management intends to reinstate dividends and buybacks.
Despite the fact that this business is nowhere near the business it once was, shares are currently trading at 6.9 times earnings. That seems incredibly cheap for a high-margin business that has a growth catalyst and the ability to throw off cash to investors. What am I missing here?
Have you considered the impact of Trump's tariffs?
Matt DiLallo: You make a compelling case for Cleveland-Cliffs. As you mentioned, Goncalves has engineered an impressive turnaround that has the company on track to grow earnings and cash flow in the years ahead. That positions the iron ore giant to not only invest in the future but begin returning money to shareholders, which is particularly intriguing since it could potentially buy back what appears to be dirt-cheap stock in a move that could create big-time value for investors.
However, one thing you might be missing is the possible negative ramification of the Trump administration's decision to impose a 25% tariff on imported steel. The driving force behind the move is to level the playing field for the U.S. steel industry, which is something Goncalves wholeheartedly supports.
While that move makes sense on paper, tariffs don't always work as well as hoped, which certainly seems to be the case with the Trump administration's steel tariffs. For starters, they're having a negative impact on a range of steel-consuming industries in the country, which could do more harm than good since they might negatively impact steel demand here. Furthermore, as you pointed out in this article, tariffs don't tend to be the long-term solution. You said that "tariffs don't necessarily change the global oversupply issue, and that tariffs have historically been a temporary thing." Because of that, it seems that they could do more harm to Cleveland-Cliffs than good. That's why my advice would be to carefully consider the impact the tariffs could have on Cleveland-Cliffs in the long term before buying its stock just because it's cheap.
CLF data by YCharts.
Just a good company in a tough industry?
Jason Hall: I'll start by saying that I think Tyler is absolutely right about many things with Cliffs. Management has done a solid job of improving the balance sheet and shifting the company's direction up market into more profitable products that steelmakers are willing to pay a premium for. And to some extent, that should lead to better cash flows and earnings over time.
But there's the bigger issue: Iron mining and feedstock production is still a tough, capital-intensive commodity business, and the vast majority of Cliffs' revenue will come from cheap iron, with market prices being the key factor behind its selling price. In other words, Cliffs has very little ability to command a premium price and is subject to the whims of the market, including foreign competition.
Cliffs does look like a very well-run company with solid leadership pulling the capital allocation strings. To merely survive in this commodity business, however, that's a prerequisite, not something that makes it a worthy investment. I expect that, going forward, Cliffs will do well for an iron producer, but I'm far from convinced that "well for an iron producer" equates to a market-beating investment, even when you can buy shares for seven times earnings.
My prediction: Just as in the past, iron prices will remain the biggest factor behind Cliffs' future prospects, no matter what management does. How much have you considered that in your thesis for Cliffs?
Jason Hall owns shares of ArcelorMittal. Matthew DiLallo has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. Tyler Crowe owns shares of Cleveland-Cliffs. The Motley Fool has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

The Drupal content management system (CMS) is one of the top four on the web today. If you own or are responsible for a website on this platform, and don't have a long term commitment with your developer or a dedicated staff of IT personnel, you'll likely need a Drupal maintenance service at your disposal. Over time a website needs upkeep, content changes and additions, design tweaks, photo and video additions, fixes, blog posting, social network integration and other maintenance requests. Most business owners and adminis will know exactly what they want done to a site; however they often don't know to make these changes themselves. A Drupal manager can solve this problem. Website maintenance and management can be accomplished in fewer steps and for less of an investment. Your time and resources are important; being able to rely on one company to maintain your Drupal site can mean the difference of growing your presence online or becoming outdated, inaccurate and uninviting.
Your website needs changes and monitoring, and that is exactly what a project or monthly Drupal maintenance service accomplishes. You'll benefit from upgrades, graphic design, theme tweaks and changes, color changes, layout changes, security monitoring, website analytics and reporting, page additions or deletions, miscellaneous fixes and much more. In short, it takes your visions and makes them a reality. Through proper management, your site will be SEO optimized for organic searches, contain the latest web trends and designs, remain absent of security threats, convert visitors into customers or followers at higher percentiles, and much more.
Whether you don't have the slightest clue how to manage your Drupal site, or you just don't have the time; a Drupal management service is ideal for businesses and branded website owners. You'll be able to request changes and updates, and then approve them while you continue to focus on other important elements surrounding your business and/or website. A website has become extremely important in today's business world. The internet is fully immersed into our daily lives and is only one click or tap away. Mobile searches are up ten-fold and customers are basing their purchase and inquiry decisions during their internet research on the usability and overall website presentation. A website is your online real estate. It should not have inaccurate information, a poor user experience, be outdated or confusing. All of these aspects are important for a physical building location, and they are equally important online.
How Does a Drupal Maintenance Service Work?
If after reading step 2, you find yourself in a panic because you have no idea what your Drupal hosting, FTP or admin login information is, don't worry -an account representative will assist you in obtaining all of this information.
Why is Webdigia the Right Company for You?
For one, we are comprised of a team of professionals who are passionate about what they do. When you have passion for what you do, and encourage creativity and recognize hard work, the quality of our work remains consistent and surpasses other companies' abilities. Webdigia is also much more than your average website maintenance company. We also specialize in internet marketing and constantly stay ahead of the curve when it comes to succeeding and building or maintaining a brand online. Because a large part of internet marketing involves continual updates and website management, we decided to expand our specialties.
You can also rest assured that our Drupal maintenance services weren't just thrown together over night. We researched the most common needs for managing a Drupal site. Then we spoke with website owners and administrators to see what they needed to maintain and what the most common updates were. With this information we devised a solution for Drupal site owners that speak directly to them. Our services are straightforward and powerful. We'll offer our expert advice on your maintenance requests, offer shortcut solutions if they exist to save time and money and never sell you something that you don't need.

Church Planting Overview
Planter Pathway
Send Edmonton
Capital of Canada's Alberta Province, Edmonton lies along the curving North Saskatchewan River. The population has grown by 160,000 in the past 10 years. The swell in numbers has been attributed to an increase in student attendance at the area's dozens of universities and post-secondary institutions as well as an influx of workers from China, India, the Philippines and other parts of Canada who have found employment in city's thriving the oil business.
Though the number of people in general is growing, the percentage of those who follow Jesus is not, and it is this statistic that makes Edmonton an ideal ministry target. At present, only about 5.9 percent of people are Christians, and there is only one Canadian National Baptist Convention (CNBC) church per 60,645 people in the Edmonton metropolitan area.
As Canadians and immigrant populations move to the "Oil Capital of Canada" for fortunes or for higher learning, we as the Church are laying the foundation for another type of future growth.
Send City missionary Nate Vedoya hopes to see local leaders and business owners join forces and be part of the vision and ministry efforts here. He says, "We are looking for partners from other places who will join us in reaching Edmonton for Christ."
From planting a church to partnering with those already on mission in Edmonton, you and your church can make a difference; connect with us to learn how.

Digital Platforms Change Their Relationships with Content Providers
Jan 22, 2018 by Jeremy Marsh	in Business
Digital behemoth Facebook recently announced it is changing its News Feed algorithm to prioritize content from family and friends over posts from media organizations and companies. Another major player, YouTube, indicated it is making its advertising structure more strict for content creators in response to the recent outrage over Logan Paul's YouTube video featuring what appears to be the body of man who recently committed suicide.
This week: Youtube announces more plans to self-police bad content. Last week: Facebook moves away from news/commercial content. Both trying to deal with consequence of running a platform where someone else supplies the content.
— Peter Kafka (@pkafka) January 16, 2018
As Recode's Peter Kafka alludes to, both platforms are trying to figure out what exactly is their relationship with both content providers, content consumers, and inherently, advertisers.
Facebook Changes Its Feed
Mark Zuckerberg posted on his Facebook page that users will "see less public content like posts from businesses, brands, and media," and more posts from family and friends. Zuckerberg cites Facebook research that shows "when we use social media to connect with people we care about, it can be good for our well-being."
To elaborate, Facebook's Head of News Feed Adam Mosseri explained in a blog post, "Because space in News Feed is limited, showing more posts from friends and family and updates that spark conversation means we'll show less public content, including videos and other posts from publishers or businesses."
What Mosseri said next is what scares media organizations most: "As we make these updates, Pages may see their reach, video watch time and referral traffic decrease."
Business Insider 5/24/17 chart showing Facebook and Google's Dominance in Referral Traffic
The impacts the media industry are likely to be profound; according to Pew 2016 analysis, 44 percent of U.S. adults get news from Facebook and 66 percent of identified Facebook users say they get news from the site.
Backlash from news organizations has been widespread. In an article entitled, "Facebook is done with quality journalism. Deal with it." Frederic Filloux, editor of the Monday Note wrote, "Let's admit that publishers have been screwed by Facebook."
On Friday, Zuckerberg further wrote on his page that, "After this change, we expect news to make up roughly 4% of News Feed — down from roughly 5% today. This is a big change, but news will always be a critical way for people to start conversations on important topics."
What garnered more media attention however was his announcement that "as part of our ongoing quality surveys, [Facebook] will now ask people whether they're familiar with a news source and, if so, whether they trust that source."
Zuckerberg's announcements have made one thing clear: the nature of the relationship between Facebook and news organizations is changing.
Making Money as a YouTuber Just Got Harder
As YouTube posted on its blog, it is shifting the requirement to be a part of it YouTube Partner Program "from 10,000 lifetime views" to "4,000 hours of watchtime within the past 12 months and 1,000 subscribers." Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan and Chief Business Officer Robert Kyncl wrote in the post that, "These higher standards will also help us prevent potentially inappropriate videos from monetizing which can hurt revenue for everyone."
On its advertisers blog, YouTube told advertisers that, "Moving forward, the channels included in Google Preferred will be manually reviewed and ads will only run on videos that have been verified to meet our ad-friendly guidelines." While it is unclear if either change would have prevented the video that Logan Paul posted, both changes make it more difficult for content creators to monetize on YouTube.
According to Statistica, "YouTube accounted for 20.9 percent of the U.S. video advertising revenue market," in 2016. Additionally, the platform is projected to have net advertising revenue of 3.96 billion dollars in 2018. When YouTube makes a change to its advertising programs its ripple will be felt throughout the digital space.
By making it more difficult to advertise on YouTube, the company is taking a risk to protect its brand. Considering its large market share, YouTube is hoping that the vast majority of content creators have nowhere else to go and will continue producing videos for its website and sharing its profits.
Backlash from creators has been extensive. In an interview with VideoInk's Matt Lopez, Rumble (a full-service video and rights management platform) CEO Chris Pavloski said, "On the one hand, YouTube should protect its advertisers, but on the other, firing the small creator is not the solution."
The fight for meaningful engagement and advertising dollars is one that has consumed the world of digital media. Whether it be fake news on Facebook, or inappropriate content on YouTube, both platforms are dealing with the reality that they have become so big that they cannot totally control what dominates traffic on their sites.

The Journal of Arab & Muslim Media Research released its new issue (Vol. 7, Issue 1, 2014), edited by Noureddine Miladi from the Qatar University. The issue focuses on representation of Muslims in the British media and the future of traditional media in the Middle East region.
Referencing key contemporary debates on issues such as surveillance, identity, the global financial crisis, the digital divide and Internet politics, this book is a critical intervention in discussions on the impact of the proliferation of digital media technologies on politics, the economy and social practices. Divided into three parts, the first highlights the way in which digital media challenges normative conceptions of the public sphere and discusses this in relation to the creation of new forms of knowledge through the digitization of scholarly resources and the impact of digital media on traditional conceptions of identity. The second part focuses on the digital economy, emphasizing the opportunities it affords through the creative industries, as well as the threat posed by the computerization of the financial industry, and the third part focuses on uses of digital media through a number of case studies relating to online reading, the new social movements, surveillance and the developing world.
The book explores the correlation between the study of religion, media, and popular culture and broader sociological theorizing on religious change. Contributions devote serious attention to broadly-defined media including technologies, institutions, and social and cultural environments, as well as mass-mediated popular culture such as film, music, television, and computer games. This interdisciplinary collection addresses important theoretical and methodological questions by connecting the study of media and popular culture to current perspectives, approaches, and discussions in the broader sociological study of religion.
The book offers a comprehensive introduction to the contemporary field of religion, media, and culture. It explores: the religious content of media texts and the reception of those texts by religious consumers who appropriate and reuse them in their own religious work; how new forms of media provide fresh locations within which new religious voices emerge, people reimagine the "task" of religion, and develop and perform religious identity.
The book is concerned with conceptions of language, knowledge, and thought about political conflict in the Middle East in two national news media communities: the United States and the United Kingdom. Arguing for the existence of national perspectives which are constructed, distributed, and reinforced in the print news media, this study provides a detailed linguistic analysis of print news media coverage of four recent events in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in order to examine ideological patterns present in print news media coverage. The two news communities are compared for lexical choices in news stories about the conflict, attribution of agency in the discussion of conflict events, the inclusion or exclusion of historical context in explanations of the conflict, and reliance upon essentialist elements during and within print representations of Palestine-Israel.
The Rassed research program at Qatar's Ministry of Information and Communications Technology released its report The Attitudes of Online Users in the MENA Region to Cybersafety, Security and Data Privacy. The study "benchmarks the experience of Internet users in the region against global users in five key areas: access to technology, attitudes towards the Internet, levels of concern, trust in online actors and user behaviors." The survey included 2,793 respondents from across 14 countries in the Middle East.
This book presents wide-ranging and up-to-date research that sheds light on the political, sociological and ideological processes that are affecting the dynamics within, as well as the relationships between, the Shia and Sunni worlds. Among the themes discussed are the ideological and doctrinal evolutions that are taking place, the contextualisation of the main protagonists' political practices, transnational networks, and the role of intellectuals, religious scholars and the media in shaping and informing this dynamic relationship.
The book takes a sharp look at the causes, dynamics, and effects of the Arab uprisings. Compiled by one of the foremost experts on Middle East politics and society, The Arab Uprisings Explained offers a fresh rethinking of established theories and presents a new framework through which scholars and general readers can better grasp the fast-developing events remaking the region. These essays not only advance the study of political science in the Middle East but also integrate the subject seamlessly into the wider political science literature.
This book sets out to analyse the relation between social media and politics by investigating the power of the internet, and more specifically social media, in the political and social discourse. The volume collects original research on the use of social media in political campaigns, electoral marketing, riots and social revolutions, presenting a range of case studies from across the world as well as theoretical and methodological contributions. Examples that explore the use of social media in electoral campaigns include, for instance, studies on the use of Facebook in the 2012 US presidential campaign and in the 2011 Turkish general elections. The final section of the book debates the usage of Twitter and other Web 2.0 tools in mobilizing people for riots and revolutions, presenting and analysing recent events in Istanbul and Egypt, among others.
The book explores the role of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs, within the field of global journalism with a focus on the recent protests during the 'Arab Spring'. The book is timely as it deals with the transforming media landscape during crisis reporting as a result of the rise of social media news coverage and usage. Specifically, this book focuses on the journalistic challenges, issues and opportunities that have arisen as a result of social media increasingly being used as a form of crisis reporting.

There may be a time in the near future when breaking up Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand will be the Bruins' best bet for balancing out their lines.
As far as coach Bruce Cassidy is concerned, that time hasn't arrived yet.
So, with Bergeron back from his 16-game absence after a rib/collarbone injury, Cassidy balanced his lines but made sure his lineup started with Bergeron and Marchand side by side, like peanut butter and jelly, at the top of the depth chart. That decision paid off in a 5-2 win against Nashville at TD Garden on Saturday.
Bergeron finished with two goals, two assists, and Marchand had one goal and two assists. Neither had a primary assist on the other's goals but they were always involved in each other's scoring chances, whether they went in or not, and picked up where they left off in mid-November.
Playing with Marchand also made Bergeron feel as comfortable as possible in his return game.
"Obviously playing with Marsh, we're used to playing [together], [I] know where he's going," Bergeron said after he had two goals and two assists in 16:25 of ice time.
After Marchand and David Pastrnak found some electric chemistry with center David Krejci during the latter stages of Bergeron's absence, Cassidy had a dilemma for how to handle his top-six forward group when Bergeron returned. He could reunite the Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak line, keep Krejci in the middle of Boston's best two wings while asking Bergeron to carry two other wings, or go the route the coach went – pairing Marchand with Bergeron, Krejci with Pastrnak, and looking for a third wing for each line. In Saturday's case it was Danton Heinen with Marchand and Bergeron, Joakim Nordstrom with Krejci and Pastrnak.
There was debate in all quarters of the Bruins' orbit, but Marchand knew the only options that would've sat well with him involved him being reunited with his longtime center.
"I mean me and Butch may have had it out if that was the case," Marchand said about the coach mulling breaking up him and Bergeron.
Marchand had to be pleased Saturday, and no one could argue with Cassidy's plan after the Bruins took out one of the elite, although slumping, teams in the NHL.
But one has to wonder how long the Bruins can enjoy the luxury of playing Bergeron and Marchand together. There's has been a wonderful marriage since 2010-11 but Marchand has come a long way since his rookie season, from being a pest with talent to being an All-Star that annoys as a hobby.
Pastrnak is the Bruins' best pure scorer and a future superstar, but he still has years of practice and maturation to go before he's close to being a two-way player of Marchand's ilk. And Krejci showed he could still score and create at an elite level when grouped with a talent like Marchand, but the center has yet to really show that he and Pastrnak can do it without Marchand.
When it comes to balancing out the Bruins' lines to make sure teams like Tampa Bay, Toronto and Washington can't just focus on shutting down one line, the objective might not actually be finding the correct wings for Bergeron and Krejci to play with; it might be finding the right linemates for Bergeron and Marchand.
Marchand has had success with other centers, most recently Krejci, last season with Riley Nash. The Little Ball of Hate has become a big star of the league, worthy of playing with Sidney Crosby at the World Cup and getting invited or elected to All-Star games. He can drive a line as well as Bergeron and might be the key to making sure Boston's top two lines are equally dangerous for the stretch run and postseason.
The Chicago Blackhawks' best teams of recent years often featured Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews playing separate. The defending Stanley Cup-champion Washington Capitals went through most of their run with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom on separate lines.
Trading for the type of top-six wing the Bruins need to either complete the Marchand-Bergeron line so Pastrnak can stick with Krejci, or to play with Krejci in Pastrnak's place, is going to be costly to general manager Don Sweeney and might be impossible considering the reluctance of NHL GMs to move any top-line players during the season.
The best solution might be finding out how the Bruins' pool of grinding veterans and talented younger players fare playing on a Bergeron Line and a Marchand Line.
But while the Bruins await the return of Jake DeBrusk, Zdeno Chara and Kevan Miller from injury, and Sweeney continues to attempt to upgrade his top six or nine via trade, Marchand and Bergeron will be the dynamic duo keeping the Bruins in the playoff mix in the challenging Atlantic Division. When the dust settles, though, a Marchand-Bergeron divorce might be the Bruins' best option.

Diocese of Youngstown
Diocese of Cleveland
Pioneer Catholics
Catholic settlements in the area (the six counties in the northeastern part of Ohio now known as the Youngstown Diocese) date back to the early 1800's when pioneers moved westward from the Atlantic states and from Europe to settle in towns such as (New) Lisbon, Canton, Massillon, and Canal Fulton. Coming from central Ohio, Father Fenwick may have visited the log cabin of Daniel Shehy in Youngstown as early as 1815 or 1816. In 1817 the first Masses were celebrated in the log cabin home of Daniel McAllister at St. Paul Settlement near Dungannon in the dense forests of Columbiana County and under an oak tree on the property of John Shorb at Canton. Three years later the small congregation built the first permanent church in northern Ohio, St. Paul's.
But the "mother church" of the area was St. Columba's in Youngstown. Through the exertions of William Woods, a small frame church was completed in 1853. This was replaced in 1864 by a large brick Gothic church built under the pastorate of Father Eugene M. O'Callaghan. St. Columba's became the cathedral of the new diocese when it was founded in 1943, and the present cathedral building was completed in November 1958 (the first St. Columba's Cathedral burned to the ground in 1954 due to a lightning strike).
Youngstown's first bishop was James A. McFadden, who had been auxiliary bishop of Cleveland since 1932. In 1952, Bishop McFadden was succeeded by his coadjutor, Bishop Emmet M. Walsh, formerly the bishop of Charleston, South Carolina, and who served until his illness in 1966 Bishop James W. Malone was named auxiliary bishop in 1960, apostolic administrator in 1966, and the Ordinary (bishop) of the diocese in May 1968. Bishop Thomas Tobin was appointed Youngstown Diocesan Bishop on December 5, 1995 & installed installed February 2, 1996. Upon Bishop Tobin's appointment as the new Bishop of the Diocese of Providence, Rhode Island, May 31, 2005, Msgr. Robert J. Siffrin was elected Diocesan Administrator of the Diocese of Youngstown until a new bishop was chosen by Pope Benedict XVI. The Most Reverend George V. Murry, S.J., was installed as the fifth Bishop of the Diocese of Youngstown on March 28, 2007.
St. Joseph's Mission Years ~ 1864-1923
Bishop Amadeus Rappe of Cleveland established a mission in Mantua in 1864, with priests from Cleveland's Holy Name Church traveling to Portage County for Mass. The old Irish settlers of this area with a great desire to worship God, though few in number, welcomed the spiritual services of a faithful corps of priests. Rumors exist that Mass was said in Mantua by a Father Kindergraph in 1854 and 1855 but he must have been a missionary because no priest by that name was known in the Diocese of Cleveland. Rev. Jacob A. Kuhn took care of the new mission 1864-1865. St. Joseph Mission was then attached to St. Stephen's Church in Niles & the priests from Niles (Rev. Alexander R. Sidley, Rev. Edward J. Conway, Rev. Bernard B. Kelley, Rev. Michael Ivers), came from 1865 to 1870. [Refer to Leadership page for more details on priests who served St. Joseph]
In 1870 Mantua came as a mission to Warren & Father Edward Murphy built a frame church which was blessed Christmas, 1871 (this was built on the site that the brick church building, Crestwood Schools Board offices until 2017, stands on Prospect St. in Mantua Village). Cost of this 25' x 40' structure was $1,000.00.
Until then Mass was said in the house of Patrick Calvin, the old schoolhouse, and then mostly in the house of Brian Reagan (later occupied by Mrs. Mary Paul). The money to build the church was collected from the poor people and John King, a section foreman on the Erie railroad from his men from Warren to Warrensville. He paid the contractor, Mr. Farr, as he got it, and in 1872 as the report shows, all was paid and everybody was glad, but it shows, too, the spirit among these old settlers.
Father Murphy had left Warren in 1873 and Father Timothy A. Mahoney came from Niles 1871 to 1873 and took care of Mantua, too. From 1873 to 1875 Father Angelo Paganini and Joseph Paganini, cousins, took care of Warren and Mantua. From 1876 to 1877 Fr. Bernard Kelley returned to St. Joseph mission as pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Warren. From 1877 to 1879 Father M. Murphy came who was then succeeded by Father William J. Manning from 1879 to 1882. In July, 1882, came Father Felix Scullin until February, 1884. He was succeeded by Father Denis O'Brien, who died in the late 1930's, in Chicago. In August, 1886, came Rev. Ambrose Weber and served until 1901. Under his guidance the church was beautified and a steeple added.
Father Patrick Dwyer came to Mantua until 1903. Jesuits from St. Ignatius College (forerunner of John Carroll University) in Cleveland were given charge of St. Joseph Mission starting on March 15, 1903 through 1910. During this time the mission was attended twice a month. Click here to more information about the Jesuits & other leaders of St. Joseph's. In 1911 Father Michael F. Shannon received charge of Mantua as a mission, January 1, 1911 through 1918 while pastor of Assumption in Royalton (now Broadview Heights). The 1919 and 1920 Official Catholic Directories list Mantua as being administered from St. Mary Seminary. Rev. James A. McFadden (later bishop of Youngstown) was the rector. Rev. Richard Brennan was listed as being a professor of Canon Law, Introductory Sacred Scripture & Liturgy during that time period. It is safe to say that they probably took care of Mantua during these years. From March 19, 1920 to June 15, 1938, Diocese of Cleveland records show Father Shannon was once again Pastor of Assumption in Royalton and took care of St. Joseph, Mantua until Father Gracey was assigned as the first resident pastor in 1923.
Parish Established In 1923
In 1923, with Rev. Edward Gracey as the first resident pastor, St. Joseph was established as a parish serving thirty-five to forty families. Under Rev. Gracey's supervision the first St. Joseph Church was built & was dedicated in May, 1924 (building 4571 Prospect St., now known as the "Old" Church, was bought by the Crestwood School District Board of Education in 1968 & was used to house Special Services). It was hard labor to bring all members, who had been coming only once or twice a month to come to the church every Sunday, but by and by they got used to it and everything went fine. St. Joseph's became a parish with 35 to 40 families. Father Gracey opened two missions - one in Nelson Circle (which eventually became St. Ambrose), and one in a cottage at Geauga Lake Park (which was established as St. Rita's, Solon) to give those people, especially during the summer time, an opportunity to fulfill their Sunday duties.
Father Edward Gracey was followed in 1925 by Father Hugh L. Collins, coming from the St. Joseph's Church in Collinwood. Father Oldrich Mazanec was pastor after Father Collins and served from 1927 to 1930 with Geauga Lake as a mission. Then, Solon established a mission and when in 1930 as St. Rita's became an independent parish, Father Mazanec left Mantua where he had worked faithfully. As Father Mazanec became pastor of St. Rita's in Solon, Father Frank P. Brennan came to Mantua in 1930 from St. Catherine's Church, where he had worked as assistant pastor. Mantua was his first parish and so his first love. He worked hard as all these priests did. He was transferred to Immaculate Conception in Willoughby in October, 1934.
In 1934 Father Anton (Anthony) L. Battes followed Father Brennan & built the "new" rectory in 1935. In 1968, this building located at 4565 Prospect St. in Mantua (next to the "Old" Church) was bought by the Crestwood School District Board of Education & was used as Board & Administration offices until 2017.
Diocese of Youngstown Established May 15, 1943
The Catholic Church in this area grew to such an extent that in 1943, the Holy Father announced the establishment of the Youngstown Diocese, comprising the six counties of Northeastern Ohio.
Msgr. John Toole, whose fatherly guidance and love of his people, imprinted the character of what a priest is and must be upon his people. He served at St. Joseph's from 1945 to 1951.
Current Property Purchased
Msgr. Father John Lavelle, with big heart and booming voice, made St. Joseph's remember priestly service and dedication. He was pastor from 1951 to 1960. It was he who renovated the old church and extended his service to the mission in Aurora, and who planned well for the future by purchasing ninety-six acres of property on Pioneer Trail for future development just north of the Village of Mantua. In November 1957 he also led the fund drive for the first parochial school in northern Portage County. While funds were being raised, classes were held in the basement of the church on Prospect St.
New Church &
School Dedication
Father Francis Hughes served from 1960 to 1966 & opened St. Joseph's first "school" in the basement of the old church, using also the facilities across the street loaned by the Hilltop Christian Church. He later served as Pro-Tem Administrator from March-July, 1989, & April 30-July 1, 1994, when the parish was without an assigned pastor.
With zeal and selflessness, Father Hughes continued the plans of his predecessor and brought about the building of the first portion of a million and half dollar dream of a parish complex on the new, 96-acre property - a church, school and auditorium. Climaxing nearly a century of spiritual service to the Catholics of Mantua, Ohio, St. Joseph's formally dedicated its new church and school on Sunday, July 28, 1963. The Most Reverend Emmet Michael Walsh, D.D., Bishop of Youngstown, officiated at the ceremony. Located off Pioneer Trail, on one of the highest points in Portage County, the new church and school unit was designed by Architect Charles J. Faroni. The plan was to eventually build a permanent church & use the "temporary church" space as a gymnasium and convert part of the hall into classroom space.
Father Hughes enlisted the services of the Dominican Sisters of Akron (Our Lady of the Elms is their mother house), whose pioneer spirit and dedication made St. Joseph the recognized school that it is today. Under his supervision the men of the parish renovated an old building (known as the The Faragher House) on the corner of the new property to house the nuns during the school year. This was a red-brick Victorian home built around 1885 by Martin B. Sanford [son of Jason and Hannah (Ladd) Sanford]. This building still exists today as a private residence (Bill & Valerie Fosnight), 10941 Main St., on the corner of St. Rt. 44 & the entrance to Crestwood High School.
Description and photos from the church and school dedication booklet (July 28, 1963) . . .
"The focal point on the left side of the building is the artistic entrance to the church, which has a seating capacity of 679. The altar from the old church continues to hold the place of honor in the new St. Joseph's. Decorative wrought ireon frames the drapery backdrop. The unique seating arrangement of six sections of pews formed in a semi-circle around the altar was designed to permit a better view of the altar by a greater number of people."
"To the left of the vestibule is the sacristy and the altar boys' room; to the right are the baptistry and the mothers' crying room for babies [this was later converted into a Day Chapel & is now our All-Purpose Room]. Two confessionals are located adjacent to the sacristy to allow the priests to enter them directly from the sacristy. Two more with similar access are adjacent to the baptistry."
"Another front entrance, which features modern ornamentation, opens into a corridor which affords easy access into the church or lower level school area. This hallway also leads into the kitchen and cafeteria."
"The cafeteria can be used as a social hall or all-purpose room, providing a church-centered place for meetings and recreation for all age groups. There is ample space in the cafeteria to create four meeting rooms in part of this all-purpose hall. If needed, this space can also be used for classrooms."
"The first floor school area includes two classrooms, administrative offices, a checkroom, religious article store, a book store, rest rooms, lay faculty and Sisters' lounges and a boiler room and janitor's shop. The boiler room houses two oil-burning furnaces, an incinerator and a hot water tank. This lower level school area also has it's own entrance on the right side of the building."
"The second floor features six classrooms, a library and rest room, in addition to the choir loft, which overlooks the church proper [this choir loft is now our computer lab]."
In September of 1963, St. Joseph School had five grades and continued to add another grade each year. At that time, three school buses provided the children with transportation.
Father Hughes stated that this was the start of a new chapter in the history of St. Joseph's Church and it was his hope that this chapter would continue until some day we would have the dedication of a permanent church.
In 1973, the parish celebrated its Golden Anniversary with a Mass and Banquet. The main celebrant was Msgr. William Hughes, Vicar General of the Diocese of Youngstown. Concelebrants included Rev. Francis Snock, Pastor, Rev. Francis Hughes (Pastor, St. Patrick, Hubbard), Rev. Timothy Kenney (Pastor, St. Joseph, Randolph), Rev. Theodore Coward (Co-Pastor, St. Mary, Massillon), Rev. George Popovich (Personnel Director, Diocese of Youngstown), Rev. William Yurko (Pastor, Sts. Cyril and Methodius, Youngstown), Rev. Cyril Adamko (Pastor, St. Elizabeth, Campbell), and Rev. Donald Marchand (Faculty, Central Catholic High School, Canton). Master of Ceremonies was Rev. David Rhodes (Vice-Chancellor, Diocese of Youngstown). The banquet was held in the parish hall with Troop 575's color guard leading the Star-Spangled Banner, music by Jim Reboudo & entertainment by the Mother Singers of Garrettsville, Frank Malloy serving as toastmaster, Einar Kropp speaking abou the parish & Mantua Mayor Robert Thomas adding remarks, Msgr. William Hughes giving the main address, with Rev. Snock adding his piece, and Rev. Marchand giving the benediction.

Wealth managers complacent about digital changes
By Katherine Denham
Investment groups are showing "surprising complacency" when it comes to adapting to digital changes, according to a major study by PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
Of the 185 asset and wealth management firms PwC surveyed across 45 countries, just 10 per cent planned to strengthen their digital capabilities.
This comes despite two thirds of chief executives saying they were concerned that the speed of technological change is a threat to growth.
Barry Benjamin, global asset and wealth management leader for PwC, said investment houses seem to be less familiar with new technologies than their peers in other sectors.
Once artificial intelligence is up and running, we will be way better at making informed, relevant, consistent decisions.
Peter Harrison
He pointed out that these technologies have as yet disrupted the asset management industry less than sectors such as banking, where 74 per cent of chief executives said digital change has completely reshaped competition in the sector.
By comparison, just over half of asset and wealth management bosses said technology has had a huge impact on their business.
Yet Mr Benjamin questioned whether digital innovation will now start to seriously interrupt fund groups as well.
This comes as a survey from research house Cerulli Associates warned fund groups were in danger of falling behind because they were failing to have a clear strategy in place for coping with digital change.
While the PwC report indicated that a growing number of asset managers are expecting technology to have a huge impact on the industry, Mr Benjamin warned many still seem to underestimate the threat.
When comparing the views of chief executives of large asset management firms and those of the rest of the financial services sector, he said fund groups show "surprising complacency" about technological innovation beyond automated advice.
"Blockchain, the use of artificial intelligence in portfolio management and a range of digital applications, promise significant opportunities for [investment groups] that should not be ignored."
Schroders' group chief executive Peter Harrison agreed that technology will lead to considerable change.
"I think the advent of artificial intelligence is the thing which will really change the way in which we approach our work.
"We haven't really started on how we process information without behavioural biases," he said, claiming as individuals we bring far too much behavioural bias into the workplace.
"Once artificial intelligence is up and running, we will be way better at making informed, relevant, consistent decisions."
While Mr Harrison said this would cause its own problems too, he said it will "undoubtedly" be the thing which changes most over the next 20 years .
Brian Conroy, president of Fidelity, said his firm has no intention of being left behind.
He said: "In order for any firm to successfully deliver financial products to clients going forward, they're going to absolutely depend on being at the cutting edge of technology."

Gender-Inclusive RIT
by Bryanne McDonough | published Feb. 5th, 2016
Illustration by Alyssa Minko
To those who keep asking, I have no gender, no sexuality and no fucks to give.
"To those who keep asking, I have no gender, no sexuality and no fucks to give," tweeted musician Shamir Bailey.
To many, the thought of life without gender is as foreign as the idea of life without a body: unthinkable or even impossible. But for some, like Bailey, it is just the reality of life. As awareness of gender-neutrality becomes more common, RIT is working diligently on becoming a place where every person feels comfortable.
There are many names and variations of gender-neutrality, including agender and non-binary gender. A gender-neutral person often chooses which pronoun they prefer, while some have no preference. Gender-neutral pronouns range from they, them and their to xe, xem and xyr.
Tyler Ford shared their unique self-discovery story with the Guardian. Raised as a girl and then having transitioned to a man, Ford realized that they did not feel at home with either gender.
"On my first day off the hormones, I shaved just one of my legs. To me, this symbolized my confusion and made a statement about the current state of my gender-identity: in flux," Ford shared.
From dating to bathrooms to housing, life as a non-gendered person in a world made for binary genders can be incredibly frustrating. RIT is trying to make that world a little better, however, there are many obstacles to making this a reality.
All of RIT's upperclassmen housing options are gender-inclusive, meaning that people of any gender can share apartments or suites together. The struggle comes with the residence halls, most of which have shared bathrooms. The second floor of Ellingson is currently the only gender-inclusive floor in the residence halls. This is possible because of the suite style of Ellingson dorms; three dorm rooms share a bathroom with one toilet and one shower.
The reason other residence halls cannot have gender-neutral floors is because of their shared bathrooms — a floor will have one female bathroom, one male bathroom and often, but not always, a unisex handicap bathroom. New York state has complicated laws that prevent these floors from becoming gender-inclusive.
"RIT, like most universities, has been rapidly rolling out changes to policies and procedures in order to offer our students an environment that is comfortable and safe and to ensure that we are in compliance with the law," said Carla DiLella, executive director of Housing Operations and Global Initiatives.
Students can change their preferred name and gender at the Registrar's Office.
RIT's progress toward gender-inclusiveness isn't limited to housing, either. Communications sent from RIT either include no reference to name or gender or use the preferred name. Students can change their preferred name and gender at the Registrar's Office and get a new student ID to match. University employees are now trained to avoid using a legal name if a preferred name is available. It may not seem like much, but it makes a big difference to those who experience gender dysphoria.
RIT still faces challenges when it comes to becoming completely gender-inclusive; many of these issues come from existing infrastructure built in the '60s. For example, there are two locker rooms in the Student Life Center (SLC). A gender-neutral person would have to choose either the men's or women's restroom or change in a bathroom across the SLC in order to access the pool.
RIT has had gender-inclusive housing for roughly 25 years.
According to DiLella, RIT has had gender-inclusive housing for roughly 25 years in the on-campus apartments. The Ellingson option began only recently; there was only one interest person the first year gender-inclusive housing was available to freshmen students.. However, in the years since, interest has grown. RIT is one of only a few universities that offer gender-inclusive, or co-ed, housing options for freshmen.
When students fill out their Housing contract, they can mark whether or not they are interested in gender-inclusive housing on a drop-down menu for specialized floors. They can then be matched with a roommate who has also chosen that option.
DiLella pointed to RIT's benchmark universities — schools that RIT compares itself to — as a way to measure how progressive RIT is compared to its peers. There are 21 schools on the list; only three of these schools — Case Western Reserve University, Northeastern University and State University of New York at Buffalo — have clear information about the availability of gender-neutral housing for all students, including freshmen. Another nine of these mention availability of gender-neutral housing to upperclassmen, with varying degrees of effort required to obtain said housing. Pace University, for example, requires potential mixed-gendered roommates to fill out packets and attend meetings before they are granted an apartment, room or suite.
This leaves nine benchmark schools that have very little information about the availability of gender-neutral rooms. This means that for non-gendered or transitioning individuals, they must reach out to different administrators, explaining their situation each time, until they can have alternate housing arranged. This process can often be degrading and time-consuming. Pre-arranged, gender-neutral housing eases this process and allows individuals to avoid uncomfortable questions about their private life.
Comparing RIT to its peers reveals that RIT has competitive gender-neutral housing policies, and DiLella says that there are more gender-inclusive options to come.
Ford expressed the difficulties of being a gender-neutral person to the Guardian: "Going out at night often requires swapping that yellow, vinyl skirt for black skinny jeans. I know what happens to people who look like me on public transport or while walking home at night."
At RIT, however, non-gendered individuals can focus on their school work, comforted by the fact that the university is continuing to work on policies to become more gender-inclusive.
"There are still changes to come," said DiLella. "Housing Operations follows the evolution of university policy changes."
