Belesi, Mejias Vie for 14th Legislative District Seat
The 14th Legislative District encompasses the communities of Farmingdale and portions of Massapequa, Old Bethpage, Plainview, Levittown and North Wantagh. Democratic incumbent Dave Mejias is seeking election to his fourth consecutive term as legislator of the 14th District. Opposing Mejias is Republican Joseph Belesi. The same questions were asked to both candidates running for the two-year seat. There is no limit to the number of terms legislators may serve. Their stories appear below in alphabetical order. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Joseph Belesi
Longtime Farmingdale resident Joseph Belesi is a Vietnam veteran and retired Nassau County Police sergeant who currently works parttime for the Nassau County Legislature for Peter Schmitt. Belesi had an unsuccessful bid for this seat in 2007; however, is currently on the Republican and Conservative Party lines.
"I am the best candidate because I have experience my opponent does not have," he said. "I know as a parent what impact runaway taxes have on our community."
Belesi mentioned the fiscal condition of Nassau County as one of his campaign's key issues.
"Nassau County is facing a $ 212 million deficit over the next four years," he added. "The challenge is to eliminate that deficit by cutting spending. Three billion dollars is enough for county government to spend in any given year. Taxes are 43 percent higher than when the Democrats assumed control. The county deficit is 50 percent higher than it was. It is time for a new direction, time for change we can afford."
He listed three other issues as: repealing the "onerous" home energy tax, freezing and fixing the "broken" reassessment system that he says costs Nassau taxpayers $100 million per year and cutting county spending by cutting wasteful spending.
"The 2.5 percent energy tax is an equal opportunity destroyer," he said. "It does not discriminate. It does not care if you are a Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Independent or if you are Caucasian, African American, Latino or Asian. Every time you turn on the television, washing machine or refrigerator, or heat or light your home it hurts. We must repeal this unfair crushing tax."
As for his favorite aspect of the 14th L.D., Belesi said "the diversity of people and communities and my family roots – especially, my grandchildren."
"I want them to remain here and not be forced to leave because of high taxes," he added.
Belesi is a member of the Italian Americans in Government Service (executive board), Sons of Italy Columbus Lodge 2143, Knights of Pythias, former Farmingdale Baseball and girls' soccer coach and VIP member of the Superior Officer's Association. In the Nassau County Police Department, Belesi served in the 5th and 6th Precincts and was assigned to the Bureau of Special Operations SWAT Team. While serving in the Vietnam War, he was awarded the Purple Heart. Belesi his wife Donna have three children, Jennifer, Laurie and Christopher and seven grandchildren.
Dave Mejias
Current Legislator Dave Mejias, the managing partner of Mejias Milgrim & Alvarado, P.C., is running on the Democratic, Independence, Working Families parties.
"I have a proven record of independent leadership, even fighting my own party when I thought it was the right thing to do," he said. "I have fought my own party to defeat a 90 percent pay raise, twice, passed the toughest Megan's Laws in New York State and passed balanced budgets freezing taxes five out of the last six years. I will continue to fight machine politics, putting people before political parties."
Some challenges Mejias anticipates if re-elected include finding "creative ways to save money."
"Recently, I fought to put nonviolent inmates that taxpayers pay to put up at the jail to work for the county," he added. "Cutting spending is the only way we can continue to freeze taxes. Last year I held up the county budget until another $25 million was cut. Since I have been in office, the county portion of your property tax has gone from 23 percent to 16 percent of your tax bill."
Regarding voting in favor of the home energy tax, Mejias said it was necessary due to the "international downturn in the economy" hitting Nassau County particularly hard.
"The dramatic decrease in sales tax created a $130 million hole in the budget," he added. "I refused to fix the budget by raising taxes. We simply had to find another way."
Mejias also penned the first heroin notification law in the country, requiring law enforcement to inform school districts if a heroin arrest is made.
He said it is an honor to represent the area that he grew up in and spent his entire life in.
"Working together with residents, I have delivered grants to the district for new playgrounds, traffic lights, speed monitoring devices, and life-saving equipment for our fire departments," he said. "I have secured over $1.4 million for my district since I came into office in 2004. In addition, I have delivered over $500,000 in federal grant money to the Village of Farmingdale for needed improvements such as the Village Green and gazebo, streetscaping and downtown revitalization, park improvements, the creation of a pocket park at the north end of Main Street, as well as repaving of roads."
Mejias is involved in the Farmingdale Fire Department, Rolling Thunder, Greater Long Island Running Club, Sons of Italy #2143, Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce, Concerned Citizens Association of Farmingdale and Long Island Dog. He was recently named the Parents for Megan's Law 2009 Champion for Children.

The Indian patent law nurtures and promotes innovation
The evolution of patent system in India is not a natural choice of independent India unlike the drive towards investing in research and development, import substitution, indigenous development of know-how and adaptation of technology. India has had its patent law since 1856 and continues to have it after independence with due amendments from time to time. Inventions are not necessarily dependent on existence of a patent law, although the patent law is certainly a big contributing factor in promoting inventions which can lead to innovations.
Innovations are inventions plus, and generally understood to be in terms of products or processes which are successful in the market or have the potential to be successful. An invention needs to be followed by many more steps such as scale up, prototyping, testing, characterization, and safety studies to meet regulatory requirements and standards etc. These steps have to be followed by effective manufacturing and marketing to remain competitive.
The Indian patent law is compatible with TRIPS and takes care of essential features of an invention namely novelty, inventiveness and utility. In its philosophy and character, it is no different from patent laws of other countries. The growth in patent filing by Indian residents in the post WTO period is testimony to the fact that inventive activities have grown primarily due to larger awareness and better understanding of ever increasing competition. A study by the author reveals that 16% of MSME drug companies have been filing patent applications in the last ten years.
The Indian law is very sensitive to the inventiveness aspect and therefore has stipulated that some inventions are not patentable in India. The laws of many countries do not spell out such exclusions but do attach importance to inventiveness or non-obviousness. For example, rearrangement of known devices or components not leading to a new effect is not patentable in India. The same concept was followed by the US Supreme Court in deciding the KSR v Teleflex case.
It must be remembered that the patent law has a strong element of public policy as it gives exclusive and monopolistic rights to an individual or a company for exploiting inventions while denying / limiting the remaining population the right to use and practise the invention.
The Section 3(d), perhaps more commonly applied to drugs as it talks of efficacy, is an example of ensuring inventiveness in inventions dealing with drugs and chemicals, and balancing with public policy is achieved in most cases. The law has however, not provided any direction towards interpretation of efficacy and left it to competent authorities like the Patent Office, Intellectual Property Appellate Board and courts. This needs to be looked into as efficacy is linked with scientific and technical aspects and a common rule may not applicable to all cases.
The provisions of compulsory licensing and working of patents are meant to avoid misuse of patents by the patent holder in specific situations. These provisions are, prima facie, not anti- inventions or anti-innovation. A company aspiring to get a patent in India should take into consideration these aspects, because they may affect its business prospects in very specific cases. However, a high degree of judiciousness based on reliable data and analysis of social and market aspects is called for while arriving at the decision of awarding compulsory license.
The process of patent granting in India takes a little longer and that has been a cause of concern for inventors and companies, especially MSME. Whether the law should stipulate stricter timelines is a matter for consideration by the competent authority. This is an operational aspect and does not in any way affect the intrinsic character of the law. Like any other patent law, the Indian patent law promotes and nurtures inventions; there is no evidence to conclude otherwise. If the level of inventive activities which the patent system protects, has not grown in the manner expected by us, the answers may lie elsewhere.

An effective tuberculosis (TB) control program requires early diagnosis and immediate initiation into treatment to reduce transmission. In 2011, recognizing this fact, the USAID funded TB CARE II Project developed a framework for analyzing TB delay along with a set of tools to collect data on patient delays. TB CARE II then conducted field assessments using these tools in two high-burden TB countries— Bangladesh and Swaziland—in order to identify specific factors causing delay.
The project has compiled the knowledge gained from these field assessments into a newly published Toolkit to Address Timely TB Case Detection and Treatment. The purpose of this toolkit is to provide local TB and health program managers step-by-step assistance in understanding and identifying the possible reasons why people with TB symptoms delay in getting diagnosed and treated for TB. Additionally, the toolkit provides guidance on interventions to address these delays, emphasizing the importance of utilizing a patient-centered approach to care.
This hands-on toolkit is composed of an easy-to-read description of why patients delay seeking TB care, diagnosis, and treatment initiation and that obstacles to delay include patients, communities, providers, and the health system itself. The toolkit provides a visual planning tool for TB program managers to assess where the barriers causing delay are and for selecting appropriate interventions. In addition, it provides practical assessment tools to measure causes of delay among different audiences (TB patient, TB health care provider, health facility manager, and NTP/district level manager) as well as health clinic registers from the first signs and symptoms of TB to treatment initiation.
It is our hope that this toolkit has been implemented in TB CARE II countries so that country-level action plans can be developed to address TB delays effectively.

Kashmir Boatman is Helping Covid Patients Fight Stigma With Floating Ambulance Service On Dal Lake
Srinagar's Dal Lake To Get First Floating Ambulance Service
Tariq Ahmad Patloo, a local resident, is the man behind the idea to set up a floating ambulance service. Ahmad came up with the idea soon after he tested positive for Covid-19.
The Dal Lake in Srinagar is all set to get its first floating ambulance service.
The famous Dal Lake in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar is getting its first floating ambulance service. Tariq Ahmad Patloo, a houseboat owner, is the man behind the initiative. Tariq Ahmad set up the boat ambulance services a few months ago in view of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Patloo came up with the idea soon after he tested positive for Covid-19. He said nobody was ready to escort him from his houseboat when he was infected. Ahmad said he faced immense difficulties in going to the hospital.
He then decided to start a boat ambulance service for helping people living in the Dal Lake area.
"When I tested positive few months back, it was a harrowing time for me and my family. Nobody would come forward to help me. Nobody even helped me cross the lake so that I could go to the hospital. That is when I realised how necessary it was for the lake to have a boat which was dedicated for these medical purposes," said Ahmad.
It took Ahmad around a month to build the boat. He has used traditional material mostly of wood for building the Shikara, which is a light, flat-bottomed boat. Ahmad then equipped the boat will basic medical equipment for treatment.
He said it will be a helpline for those in need of treatment. "It will be like a helpline. There will be a phone number on which people can call and the boat will rush for help. We are fixing a decent motor to this, which will make sure the response time is lesser," he said.
The ambulance will provide proper healthcare services to people during an emergency. Tariq Ahmad said he heard so many stories where people living around the lake have suffered due to lack of medical facilities.
"As you know, the lake is also a great place for the tourists so this boat will also be helpful to them. If they fall sick they need treatment. Now we can provide them timely treatment through this facility," Tariq Ahmad added.

Cricket/Indian Premier League (IPL 2020)/News
IPL 2019: We Have A Realistic Chance To Win In This Season – Jofra Archer

The last season has been one stellar ride for Rajasthan Royals. Out of nowhere, they reached playoffs with a fine display of cricketing skills. However, it was only for one game, as they lost the game in the eliminator to Kolkata Knight Riders. Meanwhile, Jofra Archer believes that they can win the trophy this time around.
Jofra Archer was the find of the season in IPL 2018. His heroics at the death helped his side to secure victories during crunch situations of the game. However, he couldn't repeat the same, as he, unfortunately, sustained injury.
There is no reason why we can't win this season – Jofra Archer
Speaking of the upcoming season, the flamboyant cricketer quoted that they have got a great chance to make things fall in place for the team. Further, he went on to add saying that the presence of Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler will be a massive boost for the team.

"We have a realistic chance of winning this season as we have a good team. Last season things didn't go our way with international selections as Jos (Buttler) and Ben (Stokes) were missing in the eliminator. There is no reason why we can't go all the way," all-rounder Jofra Archer said in an exclusive interaction with Hindustan Times.
Unfortunately, he sustained an injury in the previous season but this time, he would like to make a note of it and wants to deliver goods for the team. Jofra Archer wants to bag at least 23 wickets in the upcoming season for Rajasthan Royals.
"I got injured last season and as a result could not play all the matches. This year I hope to stay fit and pick up 23 wickets if possible. It is tough bowling in the death and you can practice as much as you want but it is on the day that you have to believe that things will go right for you and do them accordingly," the 23-year old said.
All in all, as Jofra Archer said, they got a brilliant squad to make things fall in place. They will be taking on Kings XI Punjab in their first game at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Rajasthan.
On the personal front, this would be the defining season for Archer, as he wants to feature for England in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2019. There can be no good platform than IPL to display his skills.

You are here: Home / Windows / How To Fix Taskbar Not Hiding in Windows 10?
Windows 10 was released back in mid-2015 and it is the latest version with over 400 million running devices all over the world.
Out of these users, some of them prefer hiding on the taskbar to get extra space on the main screen. By following a few steps, you can hide it when not in use.
However, there are users who keep it fixed on its place and work on the remaining space available on the main screen.
Suppose you are willing to hide the taskbar for personal reasons, you need to enable the auto-hide feature. At times, it creates an issue and users won't get the desired response.
No doubt, you need a solution on how to fix taskbar not hiding in Windows 10. Fortunately, you can fix it with simple steps and ensure that you get the space you need on the main screen.
Let's discuss the methods of how to fix Windows 10 taskbar not hiding in fullscreen problem.
NEW NOTE: We have included video walkthrough of the process at the end of the post.
I have mentioned four different methods to hide the taskbar below. Please try them in the order until the taskbar gets hidden. This post is also useful if your taskbar gets hidden and you want to unhide it.
It will open Window Settings on the main screen.
Here you will get options such as 'Lock the taskbar', Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode' and so on.
You have to Select the feature 'Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode' to ensure that it will hide when not in use.
Rather than this option, you can also Select 'Automatically hide the taskbar in tablet mode' and so on to enable them as per your needs.
Suppose you select 'Lock the taskbar', it means you can't move it from its usual place. By De-Selecting it, you can move the taskbar to any corner of the main screen.
Apart from the above-discussed method, you can also use another way to check the auto-hide feature to get rid of the problem, 'taskbar won't go away in fullscreen'.
It will redirect you directly to the settings and you can view this on the screen.
Here you have to follow the same steps what we have discussed now.
Suppose you don't find 'Windows Explorer' once you opened the Task Manager dialog box, you have to look at the 'Apps' section. You can find 'More Details' because of multiple running apps on Windows. Click on it and scroll down.
Hopefully, this will solve and problem and also cleared your query on how to fix taskbar not hiding in Windows 10.
There could be a new notification of apps that keep on flashing on the taskbar. It is essential to give attention to those things and you need to click on it.
You will find a number of icons of the running apps. Don't forget to select the icon which is flashing and read the information as well. However, clicking on the icons could work.
Note that you have the option to remove the unnecessary app icons depending on your needs and ensure that there would be no appearance of the taskbar on the fullscreen.
Now, you need to check the icons that you want to disappear. You have to select 'On/Off' for the respective apps. Or else, you can also choose 'Off' as a single option on 'Always show all icons in the notification area.
Remember that you can go with a few icons on the taskbar at all times. And, you can also select 'On' for all icons depending on your requirements. Suppose you have identified any specific app that creates trouble, you can keep it 'Off' all the time.
It's all about the solutions related to your query on how to fix taskbar not hiding in Windows 10. Hope you get to know the methods very clearly and ensure that you could make a difference in your work.
Remember that you can save valuable seconds if the taskbar appears all the time and it also doesn't take up much space on the main screen. So, make a decision wisely!

Jonsson School Dean Shares Vision for Industry's Role in Educating Future Engineers
By Kim Horner •March 12, 2020
Dr. Stephanie G. Adams, dean of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, advocated for industry to become more involved in educating future engineers at a recent Tech Titans luncheon.
Universities need greater involvement from industry to teach future engineers the skills they will need to tackle challenges such as climate change, cybersecurity, and providing food and clean water to a growing global population.
That was the sentiment expressed by Dr. Stephanie G. Adams, dean of The University of Texas at Dallas' Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, to an audience of North Texas technology leaders at a recent luncheon.
"There are no clearly defined solutions to these problems," Adams said at the March 6 event, which was sponsored by Tech Titans, a technology association for North Texas. "Our task is to produce an engineer who is agile and flexible in their thinking and brings a variety of perspectives to the problems you're asking them to solve."
Adams poses with Tech Titans leaders Barbara Baffer (left), Deborah Sawyer and Paul Bendel.
Adams, the Lars Magnus Ericsson Chair at UT Dallas and president of the American Society for Engineering Education, said engineering schools must adapt to new trends and educational approaches to prepare students for the world they will inherit rather than the one that exists today.
"I tell young people when I talk to them: 'The jobs you're going to have in seven years haven't been created yet,' " Adams said.
In her speech, titled "Transforming Engineering: Industry's Role in Improving the Landscape," Adams cited "The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century," a National Academy of Engineering report that emphasizes the need for students to be creative and use critical thinking skills. She highlighted UT Dallas' UTDesign Senior Capstone Program as an example of the type of industry-university partnership that helps students develop those skills. UTDesign gives teams of senior engineering students the opportunity to develop, test and implement concepts to solve real-world problems for business sponsors.
Be a UTDesign Sponsor
UTDesign helps companies expand their resources by partnering with computer science and engineering students at UT Dallas. Learn more about the benefits of becoming a company sponsor.
UTDesign teams are working on more than 200 projects, with more than 80% sponsored by companies. The students have won eight national first-place awards since 2014. Tech Titans honored UTDesign with its 2013 Tech Titans of the Future Award. The UTDesign Studio features the Texas Instruments Innovation Lab, a facility for student and faculty engineers and computer scientists, as well as a campus workspace for students who participate in a State Farm internship program.
Adams invited industry leaders to collaborate with engineering schools to develop long-term research projects, create faculty internships and serve as advisors by participating on councils and boards. She added that UTDesign needs sponsors for summer and fall projects.

Deb Sawyer, managing director at ZRG Partners who is also vice chair of the Tech Titans programs, said Adams gave a realistic look at how the National Academy of Engineering envisions educating engineers in 2020, and where universities are falling short of this vision.
"Programs such as universities' capstone design programs, like UTD's UTDesign Program, can fill these gaps, bringing real-world challenges into a teaching environment by coupling students with industry to better prepare them for the workplace," Sawyer said.

Crisp and juicy pork with green peppers, onion and pineapple tossed in a sweet and tangy sauce.
I have always been a huge Chinese food person. There are few things I love more than a night at home with some take-out in sweat pants while watching a movie. I sound really exciting, don't I? Haha sometimes it is just easier to make take-out at home then toting 4 little ones to a restaurant with me!
One of my all time favorite recipes on our blog is our Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken. I actually prefer our recipe to restaurant take-out because I know exactly what ingredients are going into it and I don't feel sick after eating it like I do when I eat traditional fried take-out.
I love fried food, but I hate the mess it makes so I tried to simplify this recipe as much as possible to make this the easiest baked sweet and sour pork of all time. Typically when I make battered food at home, I dip it in an egg wash, followed by a cornstarch/flour mixture before frying. It is seriously a disaster. My fingers are covered and sticky and I absolutely hate touching raw meat. For this recipe, I cut my pork loin roast into 1-inch pieces and placed them in a gallon Ziploc bag.
Rather than dipping the pork multiple times in an egg wash/dry ingredient mixture, I just poured my cornstarch directly over the pork, sealed the bag and shook it until all the pork was covered. This doesn't give the pork as much of a breading as you would get in a restaurant, but that also means it doesn't soak up as much of the oil when you fry it, which I like. The best part was that I didn't have to touch any of the meat with my hands haha!
I know this is a recipe for "baked" sweet and sour pork, which it technically is. However, I do like my pork to have a little bit of a crispy outside to seal in all the natural juices. After the pork was covered in cornstarch, I fried it in vegetable oil for just a few minutes so it could form a nice crust on the outside. You will be baking the pork after you fry it, so you don't need to worry about cooking it all the way through at this point.
I love having other flavors and textures with my sweet and sour pork, so I seasoned my pork with salt and pepper then threw in an onion, green bell pepper and some pineapple chunks (be sure to save the juice from your canned pineapple to use in the sauce). If you have picky eaters that don't love some of these ingredients, you could omit them completely. The sauce with the pork over some rice is still delicious!
I made a simple sweet and sour sauce on my stovetop with the pineapple juice leftover from my pineapple chunks, sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and a little garlic salt. I typically don't add pineapple juice when I make sweet and sour sauce, but after making this recipe, I will never go back! It added just the right amount of sweetness to the sauce. I whisked the ingredients together and brought them to a boil over medium heat to help it thicken up just a little. It will continue to thicken as it bakes.
I poured my homemade sweet and sour sauce over my pork, gently mixed it together and put it in the oven for an hour. I made sure to stir everything every 15 minutes or so to keep the pork coated in sauce and so that it wouldn't burn.
We served our sweet and sour pork over rice and it was the perfect meal. Even though this dish cooks for an hour, it is really simple to throw together and our family loved it! I loved that it wasn't a really heavy dish because of the light breading on the pork and the flavor of the sweet and sour sauce was spot on.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Cut pork roast into 1-inch pieces and place in a gallon sized Ziploc bag.
Pour cornstarch into Ziploc bag, zip closed and shake until pork is evenly coated with cornstarch.
Carefully add pork a few pieces at a time to hot oil, let cook for 2-3 minutes, remove and place on a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat until all pork has been cooked in oil.
Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and spread pork in the bottom.
Sprinkle on chopped onion, pepper and pineapple chunks. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Pour pineapple juice from pineapple chunks into a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce and garlic salt.
Bring to a boil and pour over the pork, vegetables and pineapple. Gently stir to combine.
Place pan in oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to continually coat pork in sauce.
Remove from oven and serve over rice.
If you want to enjoy a full Asian-inspired night at home, eat this Sweet and Sour Pork with our Baked Crab Rangoons, Baked Veggie Egg Rolls and Chicken Fried Rice.

Khoder Nashar/Amjad Saleh, WAM (Emirates News Agency)
SOUTH AMERICAUAEECONOMY
DUBAI- Marcos Troyjo, President of the New Development Bank, said that the UAE is a "prime example of an economic miracle", while speaking at the fourth edition of the Global Business Forum Latin America (GBF LATAM) 2022, which kicked off earlier today in Dubai.
In a session titled 'New Priorities for the Post-Covid World', Troyjo explored the key areas of reform that are necessary to combat the challenges of income inequality, poor health and education provision facing Latin American and Caribbean countries, and the role that trade with markets like UAE can play in advancing those priorities.
"One of the most dynamic frontiers for infrastructure investment over the next decade will take place in Latin America," asserted Troyjo. "It's only natural that economies such as the UAE will have its eyes set on those dynamic prospects."
He noted that the World Development Bank is tasked with mobilising resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS), as well as other emerging economies and developing countries.
The organisation recently welcomed the UAE as its latest member, in line with its commitment towards global growth and development and in recognition of the country's commendable capabilities and expertise in supporting infrastructure projects and sustainable development.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, GBF LATAM 2022 is organised by Dubai Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Expo 2020. The event bears the theme Towards a Resilient Future and supports Dubai Chamber of Commerce's flagship Global Business Forum series.
GBF LATAM 2022 is the third forum of its kind to be held during Expo 2020 Dubai, with GBF Africa held in October and the first-ever GBF ASEAN hosted in December.

The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution is rapidly changing our society to a world in which everyday objects will be connected to the Internet, making computing pervasive like never before. From a security and privacy perspective, this tsunami of connectivity represents a potential disaster, as each object will become inherently remotely hackable and, as a consequence, controllable by malicious actors: a hacked robot or industrial machine or smart object can act as an insider threat in organizations, industries, public spaces and private homes.
This talk will give a security perspective on the ongoing Internet-of-Things revolution, with emphasis on why everybody should be concerned about that and protect their systems accordingly. Focus will be given to typical Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS) applications, with real-life examples taken from smart manufacturing, smart cities, smart living, smart medical systems, and robotics (including a case study of the well known human-shaped robot Pepper).
The tutorial is not meant for security experts, but it targets researchers/practitioners in ICPS and IoT who want to get an introductory tutorial on IoT security. So, the tutorial is open to all conference attendees, and it does not require any specific security background.
Define what is Energy Internet and how the technological advances in machine-type communications (MTC) are enabling its development. Model human- and machine-type of traffic.
Differentiate operation modes of the Internet of Things (IoT), namely Ultra-reliable Low-latency Communications (URLLC) and massive Machine-type Communications (mMTC) in addition to the broadband communications.
Propose possible ways to manage the energy system based on packetized energy together with the required IoT/MTC solutions.
Persons working in the digitalization of energy systems, either from academia or industry. No background in communications engineering is needed.
This tutorial focuses on the management of the electricity grids using energy packets to build the Energy Internet via machine-type communications. We will revisit some attempts to design a digital grid similar to the internet and discuss the viability of up-scaling this approach to manage energy inventories so that supply and demand always matches, given storage capabilities, loads with priority and usage flexibility. The proposed approach relies on virtualization to change the dynamics of the physical system, building then an energy industry application of cyber-physical systems.
This tutorial introduces the Smart Transformer concept and takes into account power system considerations as well as power electronics knowledge. ST architectures and topologies, basic controller designs and innovative concepts for increasing the availability are introduced. The advanced features, which the Smart Transformer offers to the AC grids are examined. In particular, the focus is on voltage and frequency control in grid forming operation, load sensitivity identification, load control, and reactive power support in grid feeding operation. For the design of the ST, modular power converter are considered with the opportunity to control the metrics efficiency, grid services and remaining useful lifetime by taking into the useful remaining lifetime of building blocks. This tutorial will summarize the results of EU ERC Consolidator Grant Project "HEART" by Prof. Marco Liserre and update on current projects promoted by Distributed System Operators leading to testing the Smart Transformer technology in the field.
The learning objectives are to familiarize with the solid-state transformer concept, its topology and its control. The attendees will have a clear conceptual map of the challenges and of the possible solutions related to the smart transformer application in the electrical grid. With the reference list provided the attendees can start tackling the unsolved issues of the smart transformer application and start their own research activities.
From the Solid-State-Transformer (SST) to the Smart Transformer.
The increasing connection of renewables and new loads is challenging the distribution grids. For overcoming actual and foreseen challenges, a new concept, with the capability to form intelligent grid nodes, is proposed: the "Smart Transformer". The Smart Transformer is a power electronics-based transformer, aiming not only to adapt the voltage level from MV to LV grids but also providing ancillary services to the grid. In order to exploit its capability, the ST requires combining power system aspects and power electronics constraints, resulting in new requirements and challenges.
The Smart Transformer provides galvanic isolation, voltage adaptation and the capability to control the reactive power in grid feeding operation for sustaining the voltage profile in grid. On the Low Voltage Side, it can interact with loads and generators by means of voltage and frequency control, thereby controlling the power generation and the consumption in the grid. Additionally, the Smart Transformer is a natural connection point for hybrid (AC and DC) grids both at MV and at LV levels, being an enabler for the DC connectivity. Among the others for storage integration and for EV fast charging station integration. Nevertheless, the application of the ST requires an optimization of the system for minimum costs, maximum availability and high efficiency.
The tutorial topic relates to the ICPS application of the Smart Grid. The ICPS architecture that the Smart Transformer paradigm advocates for is to make the grid interface more intelligent to make the whole electrical power distribution grid smarter.

This tutorial will provide ICPS Architecture for production automation build on Interoperability at a service level. The architecture support ICPS engineering of production automation enabling implementations of standards architectures like RAMI4.0 or IIRA.
In this tutorial, we introduce the new IEEE 11073 SDC family of standards for operating room and clinic that enables manufacturer-independent medical device communication.
Since this standard (SDC: service-oriented device connectivity) family is based on the basic concepts of service-oriented device architecture and uses the information model from IEEE 11073 for modeling, the tutorial will introduce both basic concepts. Further, we will elaborate the new architectural concept of service-oriented medical devices architecture (SOMDA). Using easy-to-understand examples, participants are introduced to the domain information and service model and learn to model surgical instruments. In addition to that, the tutorial will discuss the extensions that are specified in IEEE 11073-20702 Medical Devices Profile for Web Services (MDPWS). In the tutorial participants will also be introduced to a client application which can be used to read and modify data and control a complex medical system. Today, some open source libraries are available and will be presented in the tutorial. Finally, we compare the IEEE 11073 SDC standard family with similar middleware approaches in the medical domain and interoperability technologies and protocols from automation domain (e.g. OPC UA), building automation domain (e.g. BACNet) and IIoT protocols like MQTT, CoAP and others.
In this tutorial we introduce three new IEEE 11073 standards, called IEEE 11073 SDC. These standards are applicable to integrate and combine medical devices and clinical information systems from different vendors. The overall architecture uses the Devices Profile of Web Service (DPWS) but through its flexible definition, it is agnostic to the basis communication technology. Above DPWS, these standards comprises the description of the data exchange (IEEE 11073-20702), the domain information and service model (IEEE 11073-10207), and the binding to a specific communication channel (IEEE 11073-20701).
Participants are going to learn about these three standard. They will be able to use open source software and standards to establish interoperable solutions for operating room and clinic. Further, they will be able to classify them in the concert of Industry 4.0 solutions and IIoT technologies, protocols and standards.
This tutorial contributes to the ICPS scopes technologies, applications, and engineering via introducing This tutorial contributes to the ICPS scopes technologies, applications, and engineering via introducing Service-oriented Medical Device Architecture (SOMDA). The tutorial presents the main technologies of the IEEE 11073 SDC standards that uses a service-oriented approach being similar to those used in industrial and building automation. It consist of various modules and technologies that encompasses an additional IIoT protocol and information modeling approach applicable to the medical domain. While today's operating rooms are mainly based on proprietary networking technologies, vendor-independent interoperability is a key enabler for every comprehensive CPS. Users can benefit from using these standards via open-source libraries to interconnect different devices and systems in an open manner combined with features from using an SOA like plug-and-play and improved interoperability.
Academics and developers from related or other industrial domain that focuses on Industry 4.0 solutions and industrial cyber-physical systems. Researchers and developers that are interested in service-oriented architectures especially in medical domain, clinical information systems, operating room, and eHealth systems.

President Trump – here's a thought, if you don't like how much NATO costs – dissolve NATO and get your troops out of Europe!, that'll save you a few $million!.
Eh- its just Trumps way of begging for money. Who uses and direct NATO wars? US, and they want all the others to pay.
Everyone else should note the way US loses their wars and are completely helpless in stopping nongovernmental rogue armies like IS.
Any state are better off alone, but if we could create a Nato without sicko aggressors US and UK, we would be successful. We should use the anti-trump wave to get cooled down relations with US.
Let NATO disappear into the sunset .Its reason for being is no longer there as the world is now a different place from what it was when NATO was formed. And don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way out. Nato has become the instrument of the deep state / MIC .
Demanding that they comply, given the current Zeitgeist in Europe, will push European governments into Russia's and China's arms. And that is a good thing. Recall that Trump said in his campaign that NATO was outdated. Maybe this is his way of dissolving it while appearing patriotic.
Mr Trump has matters backwards.
Let us abolish NATO altogether, immediately – and see who shrieks loudest.
The new Italian government before being elected, expressed the desire to reconsider membership of NATO., although this desire has not been pursued since being elected. Of course Trump himself questioned whether NATO was necessry before he was elected.
Just stop trying to be Europe's sugar daddy and get the hell out!
No one needs US to bomb European countries, like they did in Bosnia and Serbia.
The US has around 800 bases in 70 countries around the World, how can this ever make financial sense to the American people or be morally just?
The worst examples of this US expansionism is in Eastern Europe, where NATO (US mainly) forces are literally hundreds of metres away from the Russian border.
How is this not regarded as aggressive by any right minded person?


Last week the EU conference gathered together experts representing various fields, including policy-makers, investors, academia, trade unions and environmentalists, with the aim to reflect on how to foster more sustainable governance in line with the Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth. The key message emerging from the event points out that if we want sustainable finance, we need sustainable corporate governance.
For the last few months the European Union has been setting the tone of public debate focused around the need of building a more environmentally and socially sustainable financial system in Europe. As strongly highlighted by the EU, financial sector is critical in the transition process to a low-carbon, more resource-efficient and sustainable economy. At the same time, the EU has pointed out that far-reaching reform is needed to build a financial system that supports European environmental and social objectives. It has also become clear that the reform cannot take place without a closer look at corporate governance standards.
Driven by the concept of sustainable finance, the wider investor community contributed to a debate on the role of responsible investing, fiduciary duty and short-termism versus long-term value creation, among other issues. The important milestone in those discussions was a report published by the so-called High-Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance (HLEG) in early 2018 followed by a concrete 'Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth' towards reforming the entire investment chain and building a sustainable finance strategy.
And it is the HLEG work that brings the sustainable corporate governance on the agenda recognising the fundamental role of the boards in the transformation process delivering the EU's commitments related to the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris agreement on climate change. In its Action 10, the EU's Action Plan gives a special attention to fostering sustainable corporate governance through redefining corporate board duties. Further, it also examines an undue short-term pressure from capital markets on corporations as opposed to the long-term value creation crucial for the sustainability transition.
Beyond considerations at the EU level, 2018 also saw a number of initiatives undertaken to revise the existing corporate governance laws and regulations both in the EU and worldwide. The UK Corporate Governance Code and the US Accountable Capitalism Act are the examples. The newly adopted regulations indicate a shift in the boards' focus from shareholders to stakeholders as well as a stronger emphasis on preservation of the business success in the longer-term. The trend coincides to a great extent with the objectives of the EU sustainable finance concept and the role of the financial sector.
To date, responsible investors have also been an important voice in strengthening corporate governance practices mostly through active ownership. In responsible investments, material ESG factors remain a key driver in delivering the positive long-term investment outcomes. Notwithstanding the fact that, responsible corporate leadership integrating sustainability risks and opportunities into governance is a key to create more stable performance in the capital markets. As such, it is important that investors, fulfilling their own fiduciary duties, take a clear position on corporate governance and effectively engage with the investee companies on the associated issues.
Typical corporate governance engagement process covers the topics related to the board independence, board skills and diversity and board effectiveness, executive pay, risk oversight, accounting and integration of environmental and social risks and opportunities into board's considerations. In addition, Corporate Governance is a priority engagement issue in relation to the incidents where the companies are complicit in bribery and corruption allegations. However, despite those efforts, corporate governance known today is still very much focused on the good governance within the company and less on the inclusiveness of sustainability into the governance structures and practices. In other words, the corporate governance model focused on maximising shareholder returns continuous to dominate the economy.
The EU, discussing the future of corporate governance in support of the environmental and social commitments, has now raised the questions whether the existing corporate governance rules and frameworks fit for purpose and how can governance contribute to addressing socio-economic and environmental problems with a view to fostering long-term value creation. Again, it appears that the HLEG' framework will guide the direction for corporate governance transformation going forward.
HLEG lays an emphasis on the role of the boards in incorporating sustainability and the view has been once again highlighted during the most recent EU's conference on Sustainable Corporate Governance. There should be a clear understanding at the board level of sustainability drivers and ability to translate the arising risks and opportunities into the business models. Whereas promoting long-term value creation and integration of sustainability factors remains a core element of the investor stewardship activities.
On the way to the sound corporate governance practices, following the HLEG recommendations, investors could encourage the companies to embed an overarching commitment to sustainability into the duty of the company directors as well as to the governance rules related to management, supervision and incentive systems. Strengthening of directors' duties related to sustainability and composition of governance and supervisory bodies are essential. Furthermore, measurable sustainability targets should be implemented into the business planning process. While the remuneration policy and the incentive schemes should be consistent with the sustainability goals, last but not least, providing transparency of sustainability impacts in financial terms is pivotal.
Although there is no consensus yet on the cross-border regulatory frameworks in the European Union, more changes in the corporate governance world can be expected in the future. Ahead of the coming sustainable financial system, investors can already take immediate actions to steer corporate governance to being more sustainable.

Gold Accents and Lavish Florals Set the Scene at This Cosmos Club Wedding
Jillian and Michael said the Cosmo Clubs's Versaille-like ceiling inspired their September wedding.
Written by Amy Moeller
| Published on February 21, 2020

Jillian Long and Michael Thompson met as college freshman at a party at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (he was a freshman at MIT; Jill was a freshman at nearby Boston College.) Though their initial meeting didn't lead to a romantic relationship, the two stayed friends. After graduation, they each moved to New York City. A couple years later, Jill temporarily moved to DC and when she returned, Mike "persistently reached out." Within a couple of months, they were a couple and, they say, "they've been inseparable since." Though the couple currently lives in Brooklyn with their dog Pops, they married September 7, 2019 at the Cosmos Club in Washington, D.C. Check out more of their story, and the details of their Cosmos Club wedding below.
Their Love Story
Jill and Mike met as freshmen in college. "Mike was always a person that I enjoyed being around," Jill says. "In college whenever we would hang out at each other's campuses or at events for the Greek organizations we were members of, I always had a good time with him. His energy was what I found most attractive. He was an incredibly kind and fun person." At their first meeting, Mike invited Jill to sing at an open mic night at MIT. "Thankfully she decided to attend," he says, "and I was blown away by her talent. My heart melted when I heard her voice and to this day I love to hear her sing." Swoon.
For many years, the two were just friends. After moving to New York City in 2012, they went on a date at Soda Bar and though the date "would lay the foundation for [them] to get married seven years later," they say, they remained just friends, more aware than ever, though, that they were beginning to feel more. Jill moved to Washington for one year in 2014, and when she returned in spring of 2015, Mike took her out on another date—the first of many they'd share over the next few months. 'That," they say, "was the summer we fell in love."
Three years after that summer in New York City, on Jill's birthday weekend, Mike planned a full day of fun activities. The festivities began with a spa reservation for Jill and her best friends who, to Jill's surprise, had flown in for the occasion. After their treatments, Mike took Jill back to Soda Bar, where they'd share their first date several years before. Following lunch, they took a walk around Prospect Park, before settling down on a park bench. As Mike began to tell Jill how much he loved her, Jill spotted one of Mike's oldest friends taking pictures of them from the bushes. Amidst the proposal, Jill says she saw her family and close friends—a total of 40 people!—running towards her. "There were many happy tears, lots of hugs, and even more Champagne," she says. After the proposal, the entire group celebrated over Italian—Jill's favorite—at a nearby restaurant. For the next 15 months they planned their Cosmos Club wedding in Washington, DC.
The Cosmos Club Wedding Venue
The couple's venue inspired the entire look of their big day. "When I first stepped into the Cosmos Club it immediately reminded me of Versailles in France," Jill says. "I wanted to incorporate a luxurious French theme throughout the wedding." Inspired by the space, she selected gold accents along with the burgundy and blush color scheme, voluminous flowers, and a dress with a long train and intricate lace detail. "The Cosmos Club's beautiful gold molding all around and the venue itself did most of the work for me," she says. The space itself was the groom's favorite detail. "He loved the ceiling and detailing on the wall," Jill says.
The Entrance Table
Jill's favorite detail, she says, was an entrance table that featured photos of the bride and groom's families. "I have been doing an extensive amount of genealogical research over the past few years on my family and found many amazing photos dating back to even some of my great great great grandparents," Jill says. "Mike's mother also does genealogy research on his side of the family and she sent me their family photos." Jill captioned and framed each one and placed them on the table where guests picked up their escort cards. "Our family members were thrilled to see photos of relatives and to pay homage to our ancestors," Jill says.
Jill's father is the Chief Innovation Officer at Coca-Cola, and she says they are a "proud Coca-Cola family!" To share that love with their 168 guests, the couple included classic coke bottles that read "Share a Coke with the Thompsons, September 7, 2019" as a wedding favor.
The ultimate splurge, the couple says, was their menu. The pair opted for the largest food and beverage package that the Cosmo Club offered, including a massive offering of cocktail hour items, such as the macaroni-and-cheese bar, short ribs, mini chicken biscuits, crab cakes, and more; plus a multi-course dinner featuring crab and avocado salad, a spinach salad, and a choice of three gourmet entrees; a dessert bar to accompany the couple's cake; and a late-night snack bar that included chicken tender and fries, burgers, and milkshakes.
The day after their Cosmos Club wedding, Jill and Mike jetted off for a "once in a lifetime" honeymoon at the lux North Male Atoll resort in the Maldives. "We had a layover in Doha which we got to explore for a few hours," Jill says. "We then boarded our next flight to the Maldives and spent eight and a half days in paradise!" The couple stayed in a west-facing, overwater villa where they could watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean after days spent swimming with sea turtles, dolphin viewing, and snorkeling. "The resort had a phenomenal Japanese-Peruvian restaurant called Inti which was a highlight of the trip," Jill says. "And the island had less than 60 guests on it at the time we were there so it was very secluded and romantic, allowing us to swim in the ocean and walk on the beach privately."

10 of the Best Urban Fiction Authors Circulating the Literary Arena
by tanisha | Apr 19, 2017 | Uncategorized | 1 comment
It is only now that urban fiction authors have begun to attract interest from major publishers who believe that wider audiences are ready to accept the dark tones commonly depicted in urban fiction novels. When it comes to the best urban fiction authors, only a select few names tend to draw attention in conversations. This is not only because of their ability to stand out amongst their peers. It's also because they have attracted a certain level of mainstream popularity.
Also known as 'Street Lit,' or 'Hip Hop Fiction' urban fiction is defined by its contemporary urban settings and characters. These characters are usually in their teens and 20s who deal with relevant issues today. Issues of race, poverty, gangs, drugs, profanity, prostitution and other social-economic realities they experience. The tone is usually dark, with most urban fiction authors drawing upon their experiences to depict their own personal stories.
The nature of urban fiction and the role that race plays amongst its readers has become subject of debates. One is the nationality of many black urban fiction authors (African American). It apparently speaks volumes about the target audience of the books set in this genre. Nonetheless, it is only now that urban fiction authors have begun to attract interest from major publishers. That wider audiences are ready to accept the dark tones commonly depicted in urban fiction novels.
Best Urban Fiction Authors
When it comes to the best black urban fiction authors, only a select few names tend to draw attention in conversations. This is not only because of their ability to stand out amongst their peers, but it's also because they have attracted a certain level of mainstream popularity. ChatEbooks lists down 10 of the best black urban fiction authors in circulation today:
1. Teri Woods
Teri Woods spent six years submitting her first novel, 'True to the Game' to numerous publishers, only to be continuously rejected. In 1998 she started Teri Woods Publishing to publish her own work aimed at a demographic largely ignored by major publishers. Her breakout success landed her a multi-million dollar contract with a major publishing group. In 2015, it was announced that 'True to the Game' will be adapted into film under the same title. Today, the self-published and New York Times bestselling black urban author is considered the pioneer of the urban fiction genre. Her other book titles include 'Deadly Reigns,' 'Angel,' 'Dutch Trilogy' and more.
2. Vickie Stringer
One of the leading writers of urban fiction, Vickie Stringer wrote her first novel, 'Let That Be The Reason' while in prison (federal drug trafficking and money-laundering). Seven years later, she started the Triple Crown Publications, named after her own drug crew, to publish her own work and those of other urban fiction authors. Considered by many as the "Reigning Queen of Urban Fiction," Stringer has written internationally-acclaimed books which include 'Low Down and Dirty,' 'Dirty Red,' 'Still Dirty' and 'Dirtier Than Ever'

3. Nikkie Turner
Dubbed by Trendsetter Magazine as the 'Queen of Hip Hop Lit,' Nikki Turner's first two books, 'A Hustler's Wife' and 'A Project Chick', have made her one of the highest-selling and best urban fiction authors today. Formerly a travel agent, Turner decided to become a full-time urban fiction novelist to show the "dark side" of the street life beyond the "glitz and glamor."
4. Sister Souljah
'The Coldest Winter Ever' is considered one of the greatest urban fiction novels ever written, cementing Sister Souljah as one of the best urban fiction authors ever. Not only did the author rejuvenate the urban fiction genre at a time when it was deemed dead, but her books continue to inspire new authors today. She has charted the New York Times bestseller list three times with her works 'Midnight, A Gangster Love Story,' 'Midnight and The Meaning of Love' and 'A Moment of Silence.' With her novels dealing with universal themes of faith, love and integrity, Souljah's books are available in many prison libraries.
5. K'wan
K'wan Foye, also known simply as K'wan, writes the rawest urban fiction in the arena. With titles like 'Gangsta', 'Hoodlum' and 'Animal' under his belt, K'wan has garnered the attention and respect of readers from all over the world. He also has a publishing company (Black Dawn Books) that is inspiring other African American authors to make their voices heard.
6. Shannon Holmes
Shannon Holmes' first novel , 'B-More Careful,' sold over 100,000 copies in less than a year. His second book, 'Badgirlz' earned the author a publishing deal with Atria Imprint, making him one of very few urban fiction authors to pique the interest of a major publisher. His other notable works include 'Dirty Game,' 'Never Go Home Again' and 'Concrete Jungle.'
7. Wahida Clark
Like Woods, Wahida Clark began her writing career while serving time in prison (money laundering, wire fraud, mail fraud). Upon her release, she started the Wahida Clark Presents Publishing Company and published a total of 11 novels, many of which have been listed on the New York Times and Essence bestseller lists. Known for her 'Thug Series,' Clark describes her genre as Thug Love fiction, a subgenre of urban fiction.
8. Treasure E. Blue
The bestselling black urban author of 'Harlem Girl Lost,' Treasure E. Blue drew the attention of Random House and has since dominated many top selling lists across the country. Dubbed the 'Uncle of Urban Fiction, Blue's other noteworthy book titles include 'Keyshia and Clyde' and 'A Street Girl Named Desire.'
9. Mark Anthony
Mark Anthony self-published 'Urban Massacre' at a time when publishers were refusing to recognize the potential of the urban fiction genre. Throughout his career, Anthony has seen and survived the growing pains of the urban fiction publishing industry. He has also managed dozens of authors in the urban fiction genre, helping them secure lucrative deals.
10. Kwame Teague
Kwame Teague's 'Dutch' is one of the most popular urban fiction books ever written. He knows how to set his audience on fire with his stories. Despite being in prison for the duration of his books' publication, Teague has enjoyed great success as an black urban e authors are worth acknoauthor.
If you're a fan of the urban fiction genre, then you may be familiar with a few of the individuals listed above as the best urban fiction authors.

Book Problems
All of these authors look like they write incredible books. I don't know how I'm going to find time to start reading all of these. I have a big problem of making an impossibly long list of books I need to read that I never even get around to.
