Exclusive — Pompeo: Trump Confronting Radical Islamic Terrorism Made America and the World Safer
Because the Trump administration directly confronted radical Islamic terrorism, Pompeo said that during Trump's presidency, there have not been a litany of such terrorist attacks like there were during the end of the previous administration, which saw radical Islamic terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, California, and Orlando, Florida, among other places. While the problem is not entirely eradicated, the nation's chief diplomat said that Americans are clearly safer at home with Trump in the White House than they were before he was president.
"There have been a couple incidents during our time, but is the case that this idea that we're going to call it what it is — radical Islamic extremism — we're going to confront it by taking away their real estate and destroying the caliphate. We're going to confront it by taking the architect of a good deal of this terrorism, Qassem Soleimani, from the battlefield," Pompeo said. "These are serious actions by serious leaders who said it's not enough to appease and allow them to grow. That will one day lead to bad outcomes. By confronting it, we've succeeded in avoiding entering any new wars — that's no small thing for an administration. We've begun to move past the counterterrorism model we had post-9/11 and said we can still maintain our position and protect the homeland but with fewer of our young American men and women in harm's way. It is possible to accomplish each of those objectives, and I think we have demonstrated our ability to do so."
Pompeo explained that the approach the Trump administration has taken to confronting terrorism is one that understands the "risk" domestically from such actors is "multifaceted." So, the president and his team — of which he has been a leading player, first as CIA director then as secretary of state — have sought to empower like-minded nations in the region and directly confront and challenge those who would bring harm upon us.
"The risk to the homeland from terrorism is multifaceted and can come from multiple places," Pompeo said. "What you want to find is friends and partners who are like-minded and have capabilities to help you respond to it and make sure you're deploying whatever resources you have available to the problem as it stands today. Afghanistan is a piece of that. After 9/11, we had over 100,000 soldiers there at one point. When President Trump came to office, there were multiple thousands of soldiers there. We said, 'look, we have a terror threat all around the world. How should we best deploy our resources?' We concluded we could work with the Afghans, talk to the Taliban, and get to the table and have negotiations and lead ourselves to a place that reduces the risk to the homeland, reduces the risk to lives of American soldiers. This is the same model we've used in the Middle East more broadly: go find friends and partners. So, the Emiratis, in North Africa, Sudan, the Bahrainis, and others who will partner with us against the central threat there which began as the caliphate. Remember, they were cutting people's heads off and putting them in cages when we came into office. That's not happening today. The Iranians displaced over six million people in Syria and President Obama chose to make a threat and then walk away from it signaling to the Syrians and the Iranians that there is no place you can go that will cause us to respond in a serious way. President Trump, when the Syrians used chemical weapons, we struck. People have forgotten about this, toward the first part of our administration, they used chemical weapons and President Trump responded in a serious way. When they used Qassem Soleimani, the president responded in a serious way. We have not been unwilling to use American power, but we've used it in a way that actually confronts the real threat as it's presented, and we've done it using diplomatic and economic tools more often than we've chosen to resort to military tools."
As former Vice President Joe Biden – the Democrat candidate for president who currently leads enough states' certified election results to win the electoral college in Monday's meeting at which he is expected to become president-elect — prepares to take office, many on the right are concerned that Biden may seek to reenter the failed Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) from the Obama years. Pompeo, asked about the Iran deal, told Breitbart News that its "fundamental flaws" are "legion," and reentering it or something like it would be a huge mistake.
"The fundamental flaws of the JCPOA are legion," Pompeo said. "They begin with the fact they are temporary, any restrictions, and we are now five years on — it was 2015, and it's now 2020 — and most of the restrictions are in the ebb. One of the restrictions, the capacity for the Iranians to buy and sell weapons, has already expired. We did our best at the UN to stop that. But that restriction is gone. It was only temporary, and it didn't address this problem over the long haul of even their nuclear program, and it presented a clear pathway for Iran to ultimately obtain a nuclear weapon. Second, it was too short and not broad enough. It didn't address what we have seen, which is their ballistic missile program continues to advance and the JCPOA didn't address it. We've seen the terror campaign, and so the only way we found to address those issues was to deny the regime resources. Now, tens and tens of billions of dollars of resources denied to the Ayatollah, Khamenei, to conduct terror around the world and so that must certainly be better. Reentering that deal would light up the Iranian economy and give them all the money and wealth that they want for themselves. They will steal it, and they will not use it to take care of their people. They'll use the remainder of that for terror. So, that is a bad pathway, and the countries in that region know it's a bad pathway. Our Gulf friends and Israeli friends know it's a bad pathway, and down that pathway lies ruin."
When asked about the Biden team's plans to keep the peace deals that Trump has negotiated between Israel and several Arab countries — like Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Sudan, and now the latest last week Morocco — dubbed the Abraham Accords, Pompeo said that was a "good" thing.
"That's good because the Israelis, the Bahrainis, the Sudanese, and the Emiratis certainly want to keep them," Pompeo said.
"There will be [other countries that join]," he added. "We never know the when, but we know the what. We know that these nations will all conclude that recognizing Israel as the appropriate homeland of the Jewish people is the right thing to do for the people of their country. This is a pathway that many of these countries will choose soon, and others of these countries will choose in more time, but they're all going to head that way. It's become clear that the economics, the security relationships, all the benefits that come from partnering with Israel to counter the Islamic Republic of Iran is the right thing to do so I'm very confident more nations will follow."
This is the third and final part of Pompeo's latest Breitbart News exclusive. The other two addressed the future of America First and its "lasting legacy," and how President Trump has exposed the Chinese Communist Party as a serious threat to the world.

SAA's biggest unions head to court to stop retrenchments
By LUYOLO MKENTANE - 25 April 2020
Numsa members picketing at national carrier SAA. The National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa), and the SA Cabin Crew Association (Sacca), the two biggest unions at SAA, said on Friday that they will go to court to defend jobs at the ailing state-owned airline.

The National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa), and the SA Cabin Crew Association (Sacca), the two biggest unions at SAA, said on Friday that they will go to court to defend jobs at the ailing state-owned airline and instructed their members not to sign retrenchment agreements with the business rescue practitioners.
The unions said they reject the threat of retrenchments and the intimidation of workers by the joint practitioners Les Matuson and Siviwe Dongwana.
"We reject attempts by these failed practitioners to coerce workers into signing hollow, empty retrenchment packages, when they have been unable to deliver on a turnaround plan to save our national carrier and save jobs," the unions said.
The practitioners, who have proposed a winding down process that involves retrenching all employees, say they have two choices: either carry on and implement that plan or throw in the towel and apply for liquidation.
A wind-down would give employees a better claim on termination pay than a liquidation, but for this to happen employees must provide their consent, which they have not done so far. The company does not have funds to pay salaries beyond April and the government has refused to give it more cash.
In a notice to affected parties on Thursday, the practitioners said that if SAA employees do not accept the proposed wind-down, they would be unable to continue with the business rescue process and would have to make an urgent application to the courts for an order to discontinue the proceedings and place SAA into liquidation.
This situation could have been avoided if the very same, incompetent practitioners had heeded advice from unions, and had taken the decision to place workers on the training lay-off scheme in line with the settlement we secured after the strike last year
"This situation could have been avoided if the very same, incompetent practitioners had heeded advice from unions, and had taken the decision to place workers on the training lay-off scheme in line with the settlement we secured after the strike last year," the unions said.
A training lay-off scheme is a temporary suspension of work of a worker or group of workers that is used for training purposes. Employees don't get a salary during the training period but receive a training allowance amounting to 75% of their salaries while in the programme.
"If they had put employees on the training lay-off scheme in December, the majority of the workforce would be on full-time training right now, earning full salaries paid for by the Sector Education and Training Authority."
The unions said the practitioners chose to ignore the advice because "their goal has always been the collapse and liquidation of the airline".
Numsa and Sacca said they are left with no option but to launch a court application to remove the practitioners. They called on the department of public enterprises to join the application to defend the airline and "work with us in developing a turnaround plan that will secure the future of the airline and save jobs".
"This is a battle for the very survival of the airline and for all the working-class families who will be affected by the cruel and calculating actions of the practioners," the unions said. "We call on all political parties and all progressive formations who care about the working-class and the poor, to do their patriotic duty and support this court application."

On April 3, 2018, an active shooter opened fire on three people at YouTube's California headquarters before taking her own life. Dataminr quickly detected eyewitness reports of the incident posted to social media and notified corporate security clients, providing early awareness of the event and details from those on the ground. Dataminr's first alert preceded major news reports by 11 minutes.
Dataminr's critical updates helped clients maintain awareness of the event as it was unfolding. Live streams and images showed the exact location of the attack and how authorities were responding. Alerts included details about injuries, road closures, and when the suspect was found. This information aided clients in their ability to keep key stakeholders informed and respond quickly and appropriately.
In the immediate aftermath of the YouTube shooting our GSOC was able to break the news of the incident through Dataminr, ensure employees near the location were safe, and communicate to U.S. based employees the proactive measures that the team was taking to ensure their safety.
Dataminr's first alert preceded major news reports by 11 minutes.
Dataminr for Corporate Security quickly detected eyewitness reports of the incident posted to social media.
~20 gunshots fired across the street @ Youtube. police with automatic weapons and SWAT just entered the building. our building is on lockdown until further notice.
Apparently two people have been shot so far at @Google @Youtube in San Bruno. Suspect allegedly female.


Under the 'Video Systems' tab, you can see all of the video systems that you are able to use within your organisation. These are listed within the main table, along with the system type (i.e. hardware or software). If you are an owner of a video system, these will also be listed in a separate table, where you can easily schedule a test should this be needed.
Every user has the opportunity to choose a favourite way of joining a videoconference, which is shown at the top of the 'My Video Systems' page. Your 'favourite' will be your default way to join a conference when you or another user is scheduling a videoconference. You can change your favourite at any time.
If you need to search for a video system, you can simply use the search box on the top right hand corner of the page or find 'Search video systems' under the 'Video systems' tab.
It is quick and easy to register a new videoconference system. There are a number of required fields but the more information you add, the easier it is for other users to identify the system. It is especially useful if you give your system a meaningful name, (e.g. universityname_buildingname_roomnumber). Additional information can also be added, such as room photographs, number of onsite technical support etc, although this information is not required.
Should you need to, you can modify details for your registered videoconference system. To modify details you must be either an owner or administrator for that system.
You can view details of a videoconferencing system at any time, by clicking on the name of that system. This may be useful if you need to find a suitable videoconferencing system for an upcoming videoconference. You can also see who the owners are of that particular system if you need to contact them.
We recommend that you annually test your videoconferencing system and our friendly Vscene Operators are here to help. The test takes no longer than 15 minutes, and can be scheduled when it is convenient for you. To schedule a test, either click on the 'Schedule test' button next to the video system to be tested or click on 'Schedule an operator assisted test' under the 'Video systems' tab.
To help with booking a suitable test date and time, you can see all the available upcoming slots. Simply click on one of the available slots. Before confirming the slot you can view the details of the test and have the opportunity to change the date/time if necessary. To confirm, click on the 'Schedule test' button.
Once you have conducted a test of your hardware system, you will receive confirmation of the pass/fail. You can reschedule a test at any point.
Similarly to the hardware system test, you can test your Vscene Desktop prior to a videoconference. Simply go to the 'Video systems' tab and click on 'Browser video test'. There is a public virtual room, which is available 24/7. To enter, simply click on the join button.
Before joining the test room, you should select your camera, microphone and speaker settings. Vscene should automatically detect any devices connected to your PC. We recommend using a headset when using any browser-based system. Vscene Desktop currently does not support Chrome.
Inside the test room, you will see yourself on one half of the screen and a video on the other half. This video has audio, so you can test not only your video but also your audio settings. See 'Browser test room' for more information.

Репарация ошибочно спаренных нуклеотидов — система обнаружения и репарации вставок, пропусков и ошибочных спариваний нуклеотидов, возникающих в процессе репликации и рекомбинации ДНК, а также в результате некоторых типов повреждений ДНК.

Сам факт ошибочного спаривания не позволяет исправить ошибку, поскольку она может находиться на любой из двух составляющих ДНК ниток. Однако ошибки спаривания, как правило, локализуются только на одной (дочерней) нити ДНК, что позволяет избежать неоднозначности в интерпретации ошибки. В грам-положительных бактериях исходная нитка ДНК метилирована, а дочерняя нитка некоторое время остаётся неметилированной. Механизм распознавания исходной и дочерней ниток у других прокариот и эукариот в настоящее время неясен. Предполагается, что у них дочерняя нить ДНК содержит разрезы, которые затем удаляются ДНК-лигазой.

Вероятность ошибки при репликации ДНК составляет 10–7—10–8. Система репарации ошибочно спаренных нуклеотидов снижает эту вероятность до 10–9.

Процесс репарации заключается в распознавании дефекта, определении исходной и дочерней нити ДНК, удалении ошибочно включённого нуклеотида и его замена правильным нуклеотидом. Удаляется обычно не только неправильный нуклеотид, но и часть нити ДНК вокруг него, после чего дочерняя нить восстанавливается, используя основную нить как матрицу.

Белки-репараторы
Репарация ошибочно спаренных нуклеотидов — чрезвычайно консервативный процесс, практически без изменений унаследованный эукариотами от прокариот. Впервые этот тип репарации был обнаружен у S. pneumoniae (гены HexA и HexB). В дальнейшем исследования E. coli позволили обнаружить ряд генов, блокировка которых вызывает резкое повышение уровня мутаций. Белки, кодируемые этими генами, являются главными активными составляющими системы репарации и обозначаются префиксом «Mut»: MutS, MutH и MutL (MutS и MutL являются гомологами HexA и HexB соответственно).

MutS формирует димер (MutS2), который распознаёт неправильный нуклеотид на дочерней нити ДНК и связывается с дефектным участком ДНК. MutH связывается с полуметилированным участком ДНК, однако не совершает никаких действий, пока не будет активирован димером MutL (MutL2), который служит медиатором между MutS2 и MutH, активируя последний. Спираль ДНК расплетается в поисках ближайшей к дефекту метилированной группы GATC, которая может находиться на расстоянии 1000 нуклеотидов и более. MutH разрезает дочернюю нитку ДНК вблизи метилированной группы и активирует одну из хеликаз UvrABC, которая отделяет дочернюю нить от основной и отрезает её в районе дефекта, включая сам дефект и ближайшие к нему нуклеотиды. Используемая эндонуклеаза зависит от того, по какую сторону (3' или 5') от дефекта MutH разрезает нитку ДНК. Если разрез сделан на стороне 5', используется RecJ или ExoVII, если на стороне 3', то ExoI. Образовавшийся однониточный участок заполняется ДНК-полимеразой III, которая использует основную нитку в качестве образца, а затем разорванная нитка ДНК сшивается ДНК-лигазой и метилируется метилазой.

Гомологи MutS
Связываясь с ДНК, MutS2 деформирует спираль и покрывает около 20 нуклеотидных пар. Он обладает слабыми аденозинтрифосфатазными свойствами и связывая АТФ формирует третичную структуру молекулы. Рентгеноструктурный анализ показывает, что структура молекулы MutS исключительно асимметричная, и хотя активной конфигурацией является димер, только один из мономеров взаимодействует с дефектным участком ДНК.

У эукариот в качестве гомологов MutS обнаружены два гетеродимера: Msh2/Msh6 (MutSα) и Msh2/Msh3 (MutSβ). MutSα используется для репарации нуклеотидных замен и небольших петель, возникших в результате вставки или делеции нуклеотидных цепочек. MutSβ удаляет только длинные петли (10 и более нуклеотидов).

Гомологи MutL
MutL также обладает слабыми аденозинтрифосфатазными свойствами (использует АТФ для движения вдоль нитки ДНК). Он образует с MutS и MutH комплекс, расширяя участок взаимодействия MutS с ДНК.

UK National Health Service turns to traditional medicine to reduce antibiotic use
The UK National Health Service (NHS) has recently announced a 5-year antimicrobial action plan and 20-year vision to tackle the mounting problem of increasing rates of antibiotic resistance resulting from the over-prescription of antibiotics. The overuse of antibiotics has allowed bacteria to evolve and render the drugs ineffective – endangering public health.
An independent review on antimicrobial resistance has predicted that antibiotic resistance could kill 10 million people every year by 2050 and without direct action, health authorities around the world are becoming increasingly concerned that routine operations like caesarean sections, hip replacements and many other straightforward, everyday operations could become too dangerous to perform.
The UK action plan, announced on 24 January 2019, aims to cut prescribing of antibiotics by 15 per cent by 2025 and cut the of drug-resistant infections by 10% (5,000 infections in the UK) by 2025. Despite the UK already cutting antibiotic use by 7%, the number of drug-resistant bloodstream infections have increased by 35% from 2013 to 2017.
NHS to fund trial on traditional herbal medicine Andrographis as an alternative to antibiotics:
To tackle the crisis the NHS is looking at effective, low cost alternatives to antibiotics and is looking to traditional medicine for answers.
In the first intervention of its kind, the NHS is funding a new trial of the traditional Ayurvedic herbal medicine Andrographis paniculata ('Andrographis'), traditionally used to treat symptoms of coughs, colds, sore throats and sinusitis.
The trial is being conducted by the University of Southampton and involves 20 surgeries in south east England – commencing April 2019 and running through to the European winter.
Long history of traditional use:
A substantial body of traditional evidence already exists supporting the use of Andrographis, which has been used for centuries in Indian and Chinese herbal medicine for acute upper respiratory tract infections (such as coughs, colds and influenza) and digestive disorders.
As with many herbal medicines, its use is being supported by a growing body of scientific evidence. Around 33 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have been conducted to date, with findings suggesting that Andrographis could replace antibiotics.
A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of these 33 RCTs (involving 7,175 patients) suggests that Andrographis performs better than placebo after 5-7 days in treating symptoms of acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) such as the common cold and flus. It concluded,
"Andrographis paniculata appears beneficial and safe for relieving ARTI symptoms and shortening time to symptom resolution"
while cautioning that further well-designed trials evaluating the effectiveness and potential to reduce antibiotic use of Andrographis are warranted. The new NHS trial to tackle the growing threat of overuse of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance does just that.
British Prime Minister Theresa May said in relation to the threat posed by antibiotic resistance:
"The increase in antibiotic resistance is a threat we cannot afford to ignore. It is vital that we tackle the spread of drug-resistant infections before routine operations and minor illnesses become life-threatening."
What's happening in Australia?
While the NHS is taking proactive steps and looking to traditional medicines to tackle the problem, Australia has been preoccupied with banning public access to health insurance rebates for visits to the very health professionals (herbalists and naturopaths) who are specifically trained in prescribing medicines such as Andrographis to patients that routinely present with acute upper respiratory tract infections.
The Australian Government review of herbalism and naturopathy claimed there was 'no evidence' for these therapies, without assessing any of the thousands of studies that have been published on herbs (such as Andrographis) and other agents routinely prescribed by herbalists and naturopaths. Reviews of medical practice routinely assess the drugs that GPs prescribe.
Your Health Your Choice spokesperson Petrina Reichman said, "The public has been denied access to rebates for naturopaths and herbalists based on a review that actively excluded any assessment of herbs or supplements. Medical practitioners in Australia have similarly been denied being informed of potentially effective and cost-effective treatment options for patients presenting with such common problems."
"Hopefully the Australian Government will follow the UK's lead in taking proactive, innovative steps to tackle the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Over two in three Australians already turn to traditional medicines such as Andrographis and it's time the Australian health bureaucracy opens its mind to looking at what such approaches have to offer the community and tackle the very real problem of antibiotic resistance," she said.
Despite doctors being asked not to prescribe antibiotics for self-limiting illnesses such as ARTIs, one in three people still leave the GPs office each year with an antibiotic prescription for minor infections – despite their being little evidence they make a difference and can cause side-effects such as dysbiosis, which can further weaken the immune system.
On 7 April 2019, the Liberal National Government announced $2 million for updated review of natural therapies, including a five year update to its 2014-15 review of natural therapies, to determine which natural therapies are eligible to again attract the Private Health Insurance Rebate. This outcome was a direct result of the Your Health Your Choice campaign, which inspired 13,323 Australians to personally write to the Minister for Health, LNP Senators and local Members Between February and March 2019 protesting the removal of rebates for natural therapies.
All eyes will now be watching the Chief Medical Officer's review updates, to ensure that this time around they are free from bias, involve subject research experts, use accepted scientific methods and are appropriately scoped.
For example, the review updates of herbal medicine and naturopathy should this time include an assessment of the practice tools of herbalists and naturopaths: herbs (such as Andrographis).
Australia is a signatory to the World Health Organisation (WHO), which requires member States to develop proactive policies to integrate traditional medicine into their healthcare systems in line with the WHO Strategy on Traditional Medicines 2014-2013. Without addressing such issues head-on and integrating different approaches, Australia risks falling further behind the rest of the world.

First Chevrolet Volt Headed to Dealers
The first shipment of the 2011 Chevrolet Volt left the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant on Monday for customers in California, Texas, Washington D.C. and New York.
GM says that the customers in those launch markets should have the first 160 Chevrolet Volts within a few days.
Earlier this year, GM shipped 15 pre-production Chevy Volts to technology enthusiasts and electric vehicle advocates whom were the first consumers to experience the Volt every day under real-world conditions during a 90-day vehicle and charging evaluation program.
The heart of the Chevrolet Volt is its Voltec electric propulsion system, which combines battery-only electric driving with an efficient, gas-powered engine giving the Volt up to 379 total miles of driving before having to recharge the battery or fill up the small gas tank.
The 2011 Chevrolet Volt gets an EPA estimated 93 miles per 'gallon-equivalent' when driving under electric power only, 37 mpg when in gasoline mode and over the long term it is estimated to get 60 miles per gallon in combined gasoline-powered and electric-powered driving.
The Chevy Volt goes has a sticker price of $41,000 (including a $720 destination charge). Including the $7,500 federal tax credit for which the 2011 Chevrolet Volt will be fully eligible, the consumer's after-tax net value of the vehicle will be $33.500. GM is also offering a leasing option for the Chevrolet Volt available on a 36-month term which will set you back $350/month with an initial payment of $2,500.
The first Nissan LEAF, a pure electric car and a rival to the Volt, was delivered to a customer in California this weekend — kicking off the sale of electric cars for the mass market. Now it's GM's turn.[wzslider height="400″ lightbox="true"]

Indulis Emsis (ur. 2 stycznia 1952 w Salacgrīvie) – łotewski polityk, biolog i nauczyciel akademicki, parlamentarzysta i minister, premier Łotwy (2004) i przewodniczący Sejmu (2006–2007).

Życiorys

Meta-Analysis of the Association of Alcohol-Related Social Media Use with Alcohol Consumption and Alcohol-Related Problems in Adolescents and Young Adults
Despite the pervasive use of social media by young adults, there is comparatively little known about whether, and how, engagement in social media influences this group's drinking patterns and risk of alcohol-related problems. We examined the relations between young adults' alcohol-related social media engagement (defined as the posting, liking, commenting, and viewing of alcohol-related social media content) and their drinking behavior and problems. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies evaluating the association of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems with alcohol-related social media engagement. Summary baseline variables regarding the social media platform used (e.g., Facebook and Twitter), social media measures assessed (e.g., number of alcohol photographs posted), alcohol measures (e.g., Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test and Timeline Follow back Interview), and the number of time points at which data were collected were extracted from each published study. We used the Q statistic to examine heterogeneity in the correlations between alcohol-related social media engagement and both drinking behavior and alcohol-related problems. Because there was significant heterogeneity, we used a random-effects model to evaluate the difference from zero of the weighted aggregate correlations. We used metaregression with study characteristics as moderators to test for moderators of the observed heterogeneity. Following screening, 19 articles met inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. The primary findings indicated a statistically significant relationship and moderate effect sizes between alcohol-related social media engagement and both alcohol consumption (r = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.29 to 0.44, p < 0.001) and alcohol-related problems (r = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.21 to 0.51, p < 0.001). There was significant heterogeneity among studies. Two significant predictors of heterogeneity were (i) whether there was joint measurement of alcohol-related social media engagement and drinking behavior or these were measured on different occasions and (ii) whether measurements were taken by self-report or observation of social media engagement. We found moderate-sized effects across the 19 studies: Greater alcohol-related social media engagement was correlated with both greater self-reported drinking and alcohol-related problems. Further research to determine the causal direction of these associations could provide opportunities for social media-based interventions with young drinkers aimed at reducing alcohol consumption and alcohol-related adverse consequences.

GRM Exclusive: Kida Kudz Talks New Project 'Top Memba', Nigeria, Fashion & More
Author Jordan McDonald @J_Mac16
Since bursting onto the scene in 2017 with his inspired hit "Issa Vibe", Kida Kudz has been all about making music from the heart and implementing sounds he grew up on. Whether it be the energetic hit "1AM" or the fresh sounds of "Animalistic", Kida has been able to showcase his versatility throughout his music, all whilst displaying and touching on key themes that we can relate to in everyday life.
Music is at the forefront for Kida Kudz, but the talented artist has no limits on trying to expand on his successful career, fashion playing a pivotal role too. Last year saw the emergence of his stylish clothing line Jiggy Boyz and a strong collaboration with the up-and-coming Daily Paper. The rapper who originates from Nigeria, gifted fans the merchandise they've been waiting for, which included trendy sweats, joggers and the highly-anticipated durag wave cap!
Tomorrow will see Kida Kudz release the visuals for his Tupac-inspired single "Makaveli", fitting in perfectly with the birth of the legendary rapper (June 16th). The Jiggy Boyz frontrunner is ready to take over the charts and July 9th is the date set-in-stone for his eagerly-anticipated new project Top Memba.
We spoke to Kida Kudz to find out more about the Top Memba, the recording process, inspirations and all other motivating factors that played a part!
Let's talk about the upcoming project Top Memba, explain what this tape means to you?
"This is just me bigging up my chest again, Top Memba is like a fine-tuned, well-balanced Kida Kudz. My first project was more of an introduction, this is certified bangers! Over the last few years I've been working hard, perfecting the craft. I'm excited to put this one out there and this ones for all the members!"
What was the recording process like?
"The majority of the records were done in my front room to be honest! Maybe 8 out the 10 tracks, that was the recording process. I like to be in my own world the majority of the time so that was the best way to record this project."
What do you want the listeners to feel when they listen to Top Memba?
"I want them to fly away! I want them to forget their sorrow, Animalistic Dancing (Referring to the single "Animalistic") – Put all the pain away. I just want everyone to have something to feel good to and to have a break from this current madness (Covid-19). Hopefully by summertime we can do shows and see all the people in real life!"
Let's speak about the single "Ball Till We Fall" featuring Bella Shmurda – What was the vibe like when creating the song?
"I was seeing the number 444 on my phone randomly for three nights. I went studio and searched what it meant, and it told me that it's an angel number, someone trying to contact you and let you know what going on! I recorded that in the living room with my friends and created a vibe. Me and Bella were speaking prior about being on each other's albums, so it was perfect to get one verse from each other. We did it online then flew out to Nigeria to shoot the video."
So you shot the visuals in Lagos, Nigeria, just like you did for "Animalistic". Is there an importance of going home to shoot the videos for the new project?
"Of course, everyone's been waiting to see me in a video in Nigeria! I've been away for a second, but it's only right to go back and connect with the people again."
You've been creating all these vibes, spreading all the energy, how has it been not being able to share it in person with the fans?
"It's been the biggest problem I can't lie. Every artist, when we make music in the studio we hope to perform straight away because that's the joy we get from creating these records. Fortunately for me, I performed a few times in Nigeria. Hopefully soon, everything will come together once again."
When did you feel like it was time to take music seriously and take it forward as a career?
"Ever since I was 14 when I started. I went school, college, university, but have done music all my life. I can't do anything better than music!"
There's a real mix of sounds on Top Memba – "Problem" is a smooth, head bopper. "Ghetto" is raw and has a great story. "Redemption" has positive messages throughout. What was the most enjoyable track for you to record?
"I would say "Ghetto". That was my first time being able to connect with my people from another country (Jamaica). I'm big on the new school Jamaican music, and it's really nice to link up with the people that I listen to from the other side and we make great records together!"
So we've touched on Top Memba, now let's talk about Jiggy Boyz. What does it mean to be a Jiggy Boyz member?
"It's just you being real, being yourself, not seeking validation from anybody and being solid! Standing on your ten toes without having to explain yourself. It's everything to do with yourself and what you bring to the table!"
Is it something you want to expand in the future?
"The brand is going to get so big. Entertainment, sport and fashion. We're going step-by-step and eventually get to the stage to invest in other artists."
You previously collaborated with the brand Daily Paper, how did it feel bringing out a clothing line with them?
"Shout out to Daily Paper! The design was done in a Nando's shop! These are the Kida Kudz fits, extra large / baggy wear, I want the supporters to be able to dress like that without having to spend too much money. It was worldwide shipping, I went back to Nigeria and seeing people wearing the wave cap, I was like wow! We're working on new designs with Daily Paper and will be working in the future. Something will be dropping soon again."
What are your other go-to brands at the moment?
"Supreme, Bape, Billionaire's Boys Club, Palace. I'm on a streetwear vibe!"
We've also seen that you have two baby boys! Is that extra motivation to succeed and push yourself more?
"Yes, I think that comes naturally. I'm trying to be a Dad and enjoy my moments with my kids. The industry is crazy, it's up and down but I'm trying to find a way to enjoy my career besides my family. No pressure, it's just beautiful!"
So who were your inspirations growing up and did they shape the music you make now?
"I'm sure all my neighbours back home added to my career! In Africa, we grow up on music around us and it's just me absorbing this stuff without even trying to. I grew up listening to a lot of local music. There's this great man called Ebenezer who makes Apala music! Another genre of Afrobeats."
Is there anyone from the UK that's also inspired you and helped to shape your music?
"When I first moved here, I listened to a lot of Tim Westwood, watching freestyles of Wiley. Shout out to the G.O.A.T Wiley who I actually made a record with! I knew about him before I even came here."
So far, who's been the most enjoyable artist you've got to work with?
"I would say Rema but that's not even out yet! Both of us in the studio, not speaking to each other just trying to get our verses out there! I've always wanted to match my energy with somebody that doesn't want to speak, just ready to work. That was a lovely session, big up Rema."
What key tips do you have for any aspiring artist or anyone trying to break through the industry?
"Just keep doing what your doing, don't watch nobody! Focus on your craft, focus on the music because that will be the greatest achievement. If the music is good, everything else will come with it."

Attention, Channing Tatum: The men of MTV's Teen Wolf have put together their collective audition tape for the next installment in the Magic Mike saga.
Just kidding! (Sort of.) The above video, literally titled "Shirtless Montage," is actually a special feature on the Season 4 DVD, which officially hits shelves Tuesday. And while the added dance music puts the memorable scenes in a totally different context — like when Parrish was set on fire, or when that wendigo kid heard his parents killed in the next room — something tells me the fans won't be complaining.
Of course, this skin-tastic DVD extra does have a bittersweet undertone, as it's probably the last time we'll see the great Derek Hale in various states of undress. Tyler Hoechlin not being a series regular in Season 5 means no more Derek-on-Braeden action in the foreseeable future, though newcomer Cody Christian does an admirable job of picking up the torch.
Hit PLAY on the video above, then drop a comment below: If you had to be stranded on a deserted island with one Teen Wolf character (and zero shirts), who would it be?

Ex-Wells Fargo advisor hit with 128-count felony indictment after SEC case
January 02, 2019, 3:38 p.m. EST
Fourteen years of fraud and forgery in an alleged Ponzi scheme led to 128 felony counts for a former Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network branch manager.
Sheriff's deputies arrested John Gregory Schmidt on Dec. 28 after a grand jury in Dayton, Ohio, handed down the indictment, per Montgomery County court records. In a civil filing this past September, the SEC had accused Schmidt, 67, of defrauding his mostly older clients out of more than $1.1 million.
Schmidt preyed on "particularly vulnerable" clients, five of whom died during the scam and several of whom were suffering from Alzheimer's disease or dementia, SEC investigators say. He transferred annuity assets from one group of client accounts to another to hide shortfalls, according to the SEC.
"He had to keep stealing from more investors in order to cover for the thefts from other investors," Montgomery County Prosecuting Attorney Mat Heck said in a press release.

'Rubbish': Advisors, firms trade barbs over SEC's best interest rule
Clashes over the Labor Department's fiduciary rule have carried over into the debate on the SEC's proposed regulation.
Steven Pierson, the attorney representing Schmidt, didn't respond to requests for comment on the allegations. Wells Fargo Advisors spokeswoman Shea Leordeanu sent an emailed statement when asked about the case.
"At Wells Fargo we hold all advisors to the highest ethical standards," Leordeanu said in a statement. "We fully cooperated with all regulatory and law enforcement investigations regarding this formerly affiliated advisor."
SEC staff attorneys received an offer of settlement from Schmidt, but the grand jury charged him with 124 counts of forgery, two counts of theft of more than $150,000 from an elderly or disabled adult, telecommunications fraud and fraud or deceit by an investment advisor.
Wells Fargo fired Schmidt in October 2017 following allegations of "unauthorized money movement" and inaccurate client account statements, according to FINRA BrokerCheck. FINRA barred him the following March after he failed to respond to a request for information.
Former clients accusing Schmidt of absconding with their money and making misrepresentations have received two settlements for a combined $1.7 million, BrokerCheck shows. Another client received $80,000 in a different claim filed in 2007. At least two others have pending arbitration cases.
Schmidt — a former CFP and 35-year industry veteran who ran a Dayton-based practice named Schmidt Investment Strategies and lives in nearby Bellbrook — led an independent FiNet office, the SEC says. The scam fell apart after state insurance regulators launched an investigation in the summer of 2017.
In a Dec. 21 filing in the U.S. District Court in Dayton, the SEC notified Judge Walter Rice that staff attorneys and Schmidt had arrived at a potential settlement they find "acceptable in principle." The SEC's enforcement unit and the Commission itself must approve any settlement, however.
The process usually lasts four to six weeks, according to the civil case filing. A spokesman for the regulator declined additional comment when asked for further details on the potential settlement.
Schmidt's lawyer has filed a request for discovery in Montgomery County Court seeking witnesses, records and other evidence in the case. Deputies arrested and booked him at the county jail, and prosecutors scheduled his arraignment for Jan. 10.

The 7th Symposium of the Rare Disease Research Centre (NEDR), organized by the Centre for the Study of Rare Diseases of the Portuguese Society of Internal Medicine (SPMI), was held at Hotel Villa Galé in Coimbra on 3 and 4 February this year.
As in previous years, a number of topics that are scientifically new and others where there have been significant advances in both clinical and therapeutic aspects have been addressed. Several sessions were also held, such as on Aquaporins, Alkaptonuria, Dysautonomia and Thrombotic Microangiopathies.
The speakers and moderators involved in the event were mainly internists and physicians from other specialties, such as Endocrinology and Dermatology, of recognized competence in the areas covered (some working at Hospital de Santa Maria-CHLN).


Repair services specializing in Sitar jawari and general repairs covering instruments as Surbahar, Tanpura, Dilruba, Esraj, Sarangi and others.
History/Bio: I have been involved with Indian instruments in one form or another for over 30 years. Due to the nature of the business with importing from India I've dealt with many instruments, some of which have required setup to be finished. In the past I have not offered these services except to customers who have purchased instruments from us but am now extending to all who need it due to the influx of instruments via ebay and elsewhere that are in need of setup and repair. I have been fully trained and received guidance along the way from Naushad Sitarmaker of Bharatiya Tantuvadya Kendra (Naeem Sitarmaker) and Rajesh Sharma of Mohan Lal Sharma as well as Scott Hackleman. We had hosted Scotts 'site' and info here in the past, he now has his own website here and I highly recommend him as well.
There are no one size fits all rates since each instrument is unique and I don't want to overcharge or undercharge, I have given general estimates for some services below.
Most of the work I do is done exactly as I learned in India with the same tools they use there.
Also, qualified people who do repairs on Indian instruments are quite scarce this side of the world but if I feel you'll be better served locally near you I won't hesitate to recommend someone.
Repair services are $40/hr. plus materials and return shipping, etc.
Send me an email with photos of what you need done along with detailed descriptions of any problems in playing, hardware, etc..
I will give you a rough estimate of what's involved time-wise to repair it. This will include a packing charge of 1 hour @ $30 per hour for packing plus any materials. The estimate will be accurate to within an hour if your description of what's needed is correct.
After confirming the estimate we'll arrange for you to bring or ship your instrument to us, I will also assist with packing instructions which are quite specific. If you're bringing your instrument then we'll work out the details once we figure out what's needed. For simple problems you can usually wait while I repair it.
You will be kept up to date as much as possible during the whole process, your instrument is safe with us!
Jawari cleanup: 1/2 hour ($20). For regular jawari wear, the bridge is filed to the original shape of the maker. You can send just your bridge.
Full Jawari: Anything that involves shaping, action height change, opening, closing, etc. is by the hour. Expect around 2 hours or so. To do an accurate jawari it's necessary to sit and play as you're working. It is best to send the whole instrument in but in some cases if you own an instrument purchased from Rain City Music you can send the bridge only as usually I will have another instrument from the same maker which I can use. This requires about an extra hour but well worth it.
Other services by the hour including: Full jawari, sympathetic jawari, fret setting (for buzzing frets), retie frets, raise or lower action, fix pegs, new pegs, "chasing the buzz" for phantom buzzing sounds, chikari posts, broken langot posts, replace nuts, regroove nuts and bridges, french polish gourd (polish only), recolor gourd, gourd cracks, & more.
Full string change: 2 hours ($90 includes strings) Other services by the hours include: Regroove and bridge and nut jawari, Dilruba sympathetic bridge jawari, refit pegs, replace pegs, french polish, etc. Some parts on these instrument will have to be ordered for replacement if not in stock.
If you have an aptitude and willingness to do basic repairs you can also consider a Skype session and I will walk you through it. 1/2 hour minimum and basic tools will be required. Skype sessions do not cover jawari services however as it's a little more specialized, sorry.
For more info please feel free to call 253-678-2605 or email.
A few things to consider: Indian instruments are hand-made and will never be factory perfect. Even the very best makers tend to leave things at 95% sometimes, if something isn't working right there's no need to panic though. If you've gotten a quality instrument from an established maker most fixes are relatively minor. A new instrument often has to settle in and can get a few quirks especially if they haven't set the neck bend in (we do this on our own instruments).
Be realistic in your expectations. Many instrument makers in India actually have nothing to do with the structure of your instrument as it's made elsewhere. So they don't really know how to get the best sound. The problem for someone here is that you want a super-charged Ravi Shankar open sound but you've got an instrument with the thickness of a plank. Or you want a 5 minute sustain but got a booming loud boutique sitar from Delhi with a paper thin tabli. Neither situation is optimal and may require sacrifices in volume or sustain. I will do my best!
And also to minimize repairs the most important thing is to get a good instrument!
Thank you so much, Lars! I just played the bina, and it is sounding lovely!
We appreciate your work so much.
hi Lars hope all is well. i put ur SG jawari on a few days ago. it is beautiful. probably needs to break in a bit, but the sound is very good. thank you. i love it.
Just wanted to give some feed-back. The bridge arrived more than a week ago. I mounted it this friday. It just needed a few strokes with the sandpaper to fit perfectly. Just like you said the first string was more "round" than my previous bridge. The other strings were more closed. After playing a few days I am very happy with the sound. The symp. strings sings more than ever and the sound is louder than before. I am surprised and happy that it worked out so well. Good job, Lars!!

Q: Stop JQuery function inside $(document).ready function I have a JQuery slider that starts automatically whenever the page loads. I also have next (nextSlide function) and previous (prevSlide function) buttons that work. What i'm trying to accomplish is this... I would like to STOP the 'autoSwitch' whenever the $('#next').on('click',nextSlide); or $('#prev').on('click',prevSlide); is activated.
In other words, autoswitch works on page load but stops as soon as user clicks the 'next' or 'previous' button.
$(document).ready(function() {
var autoSwitch = true;          // auto slider
var autoswitch_speed = 4000;    // auto slider speed

// Add initial active class
$('.slide').first().addClass('active');

// Hide slides
$('.slide').hide();

// Show first slide
$('.active').show();

// Next handler
$('#next').on('click',nextSlide);

// Previous handler
$('#prev').on('click',prevSlide);

// AutoSwitch handler
if (autoSwitch == true) {
    setInterval(nextSlide,autoswitch_speed);
}

// Switch to next slide
function nextSlide () {
    $('.active').removeClass('active').addClass('oldActive');
    if ($('.oldActive').is(':last-child')) {
        $('.slide').first().addClass('active');
    } else {
        $('.oldActive').next().addClass('active');
    }
    $('.oldActive').removeClass('oldActive');
    $('.slide').fadeOut(speed);
    $('.active').fadeIn(speed);
}

// Switch to prev slide
function prevSlide () {
    $('.active').removeClass('active').addClass('oldActive');
    if ($('.oldActive').is(':first-child')) {
        $('.slide').last().addClass('active');
    } else {
        $('.oldActive').prev().addClass('active');
    }
    $('.oldActive').removeClass('oldActive');
    $('.slide').fadeOut(speed);
    $('.active').fadeIn(speed);
}
});

A: When you run setInterval store a reference to it:
var intervalID = setInterval(nextSlide,autoswitch_speed);

Then when your direction buttons are hit clear that interval:
$('#next, #prev').on('click', function(){
    clearInterval(intervalID);
});

(Note: This onclick handler must be within your $(document).ready function to have scope of the intervalID variable)

About Krono //
KRONO started uploading their first remixes with the emergence of Myspace and SoundCloud social networks in 2007. Classically trained, the duo began to be noticed for the production of short film music, especially by NIKON and the production of the movie "Fragments".
It was during 2013 that the group was successful with the remix of the track "Dancin" (cult title of the year 2006 who reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot Dance Airplay on the same year). This remix has reached over 140 million plays on Spotify alone to date.
The Duo performed the same year on many stages across Europe and Asia, specifically at the Amsterdam Dance Event in late 2014 with Armin Van Buuren and Dash Berlin.
Being a part of the same label as the DJ Lost Frequencies, a remix of their track "Liberty City" was released by him under the label The Bearded Man.
Krono's album "Metamorphoze" released on June 30, 2015 under Armada Music and The Bearded Man. The track "Redlight" was nominated in the Best Chillout / Lounge Track category at the 30th International Annual Dance Music Awards alongside Nile Rodger and the duo Lamb.
During the same summer, remixes for DJ Klingande and his title RIVA (Restart the Game) featuring Broken Back & Greg Zlap as well as the artist Johnny Flynn were also released.
More recently, Krono released their track "Perfect Strangers (feat. PIOTR)" independently through Tipsy Records and in only a matter of months it has reached nearly 200 thousand plays on Spotify alone.

Global sea level rise is not cruising along at a steady 3 mm per year, it's accelerating a little every year, like a driver merging onto a highway, according to a powerful new assessment led by CIRES Fellow Steve Nerem. He and his colleagues harnessed 25 years of satellite data to calculate that the rate is increasing by about 0.08 mm/year every year—which could mean an annual rate of sea level rise of 10 mm/year, or even more, by 2100…

As Sea Levels Rise, is the Ocean Floor Sinking?

A new paper in the journal Geophysical Research Letters suggests that redistribution of the total ocean mass from ice mass loss and land water storage is causing "the ocean bottom to subside elastically."
A team of researchers from Delft University and the University of Tasmania used estimates of mass redistribution concluded that past estimates of sea level rise are too conservative and that to increase their accuracy, the effect of ocean bottom deformation should be taken into account, either based on modeled estimates of ocean mass change, or using more direct observations…

From coast to coast, hundreds of tide watchers come out with their cameras to record the latest 'king tides,' brief episodes of tidal flooding that could become the norm, with expected sea-level rise.
King tides are a colloquial term for the highest tides of the year. They occur when the moon is closest to the earth at moments when the sun, moon and Earth are in alignment, increasing the gravitational forces at play.
A decade ago, few had heard of "king tides," much less waded through them in galoshes. Now, Miami regularly floods. So does Myrtle Beach, Charleston and other U.S. cities. And more than ever, groups of citizens are out there photographing the results, uploading the pics and debating what the future will bring…

Abrupt Sea Level Rise Looms As Increasingly Realistic Threat, Yale E360 (05-11-2016)
Ninety-nine percent of the planet's freshwater ice is locked up in the Antarctic and Greenland ice caps. Now, a growing number of studies are raising the possibility that as those ice sheets melt, sea levels could rise by six feet this century, and far higher in the next, flooding many of the world's populated coastal areas…

Q: Domain resolution - local first then external I would like to know how I can configure my dns settings so that domain is resolved locally first, then if not resolved it goes to external DNS.
I had this working before, I am using Ubuntu through a VM and need the local domain to resolve first but since I have upgraded I had to reconfigure network and now it works only external, local host file does not seem to even be used.
Is there an easy way to check this out?
I did slap it up in google but no specific answer seemed to match my case and I too tight on delivery deadline to test-and-try different approaches.
You guys rock, thanks.

A: For /etc/hosts on the local machine not to be used first is very strange. Are you sure this is happening? (You say it "seems" not to be used.)
Perhaps you no longer have the correct entries in it, or perhaps they are commented out with #.
On the other hand, if what you mean is that you have an Ubuntu host system virtualizing a guest system, and you want /etc/hosts file on the virtualization host to dictate how the virtualization guest resolves DNS queries, then that's a totally different situation. That would require that you do one of these things:

*

*Run a DNS server on the virtualization host and configure the virtualizationg guest to use it.

*Run a transparent proxy on the host that acts transparently to cache DNS. This is probably more complicated a solution than you're after.

*Make the virtualization guest's hosts file (assuming it's the same style and syntax) a symbolic link, via a VM or network share, to the virtualization host's hosts file. (If you share /etc/hosts with a VM, you should generally make it so that the VM can only read this file, even as root or the equivalent on the VM, unless the VM is fully trusted and you really need to be able to write to it.)

*Make the virtualization guest's hosts file track /etc/hosts on the virtualization host, using some automated mechanism (e.g., scripting).
If this is what you need, I recommend editing your question to make that more clear.
