Plymouth celebrant Wendy Coulton has received national award recognition for Outstanding Funeral Celebrancy Practice.
Families and funeral directors were among those who nominated Wendy for the National Celebrant Awards 2018 which seeks to applaud professional standards, innovation and achievements.
There was a specific award category for the contribution made by celebrants who create and conduct memorable high quality funerals and go the extra mile for the bereaved. There was an overall trophy winner for Outstanding Funeral Celebrancy Practice and a runner up.
Winners were announced at the National Convention for Celebrants in Kettering.
At the convention Wendy led two workshops for celebrants on how to find and set up new venues for non-religious funeral services as an alternative to crematoria chapels. She shared her experience of establishing new venues in Plymouth, in partnership with funeral director David Parslow of Walter C Parson.
Wendy, who was the first Plymouth-based civil funeral celebrant when she started over five years ago, was the Good Funeral Guild Celebrant of the Year national runner up in 2017 for her services for the bereaved.
Thank you so much to the families and Funeral professionals who took the time and trouble to nominate me for a national celebrant award this year.
The awards for 2018 seek to recognise and celebrate the professional standards and achievements of celebrants with a wide range of skills including creativity, empathy, warmth and sensitivity. They also possess a high level of writing and delivery skills as well as a good knowledge of poetry. music and personal touches to make a ceremony memorable.
I have been nominated as a Civil Funeral Celebrant for the Outstanding Celebrancy Practice award for established successful celebrants who continually surpass expectations by delivering unique ceremonies. The award organisers say nominees possess a very high level of skill and put their heart and soul into every ceremony they plan and conduct.
I am attending the convention to present a workshop about identifying and holding funeral services at different community venues from hotels and sports grounds to private homes.
Plymouth celebrant Wendy Coulton was named a national runner up for the Celebrant of the Year 2017 title at the funeral industry Oscars in recognition of her services for the bereaved.
Twenty eight contenders for this award category were considered by The Good Funeral Award judges and Wendy was announced as one of three runners up at a prestigious ceremony in London.
The award judges were impressed by the innovative work Wendy has done above and beyond conducting celebration of life funerals in the city.
Initiatives she has led include the first Death Cafes to encourage open discussion about end of life matters; and organising a free public two day event called The Elephant in the Room to provide guidance on a range of issues from wills and finances to organ donation and bereavement counselling. She has also championed greater choice for funeral service venues with new places being used like Devonport Guildhall, Mountbatten Sailing Centre and the Moorland Garden Hotel. Regarded as the Oscars for the funeral industry, the independent Good Funeral Award organisers says being a winner can be a sign that the public can enjoy the high quality service they deserve.
Plymouth funeral celebrant Wendy Coulton has been selected from hundreds of nominees to go through to the final stages of this year's Good Funeral Awards.
Wendy is now in line to win the prestigious title of Celebrant of the Year. Award winners will be announced at a special ceremony at Porchester Hall in London on 7 September 2017.
The Good Funeral Awards are now in their sixth year and recognise excellence in the world of funerals, rewarding the best funeral directors and all associated services that are involved in creating memorable funerals.
Wholly independent of the funeral industry, the awards are supported by consumer advocates the Good Funeral Guide and the Natural Death Centre.
Chief Executive of the Good Funeral Guide and joint organiser of the awards event Fran Hall said: "The Good Funeral Awards recognise exceptional service to bereaved people from all aspects of the funeral industry and supporting services.
Wendy, who has served the bereaved in Plymouth and surrounding communities in Devon and Cornwall for the past four years, said: "To receive this recognition of my service and care of the bereaved from an independent national advocate of excellence in the funeral industry is a real boost.
Why should we plan our own send-off? The well-known saying goes 'it's what he/she would have wanted', and planning ahead for a funeral can do just that. Everyone is different - some people want a religious funeral, some want it to be a celebration of their life, some want solemnity and some want humour - so it may be worth customising our own send-off in advance.
Wendy Coulton became Plymouth's first funeral celebrant four years ago and since then has planned a myriad of services, guiding families through the most agonising time before saying goodbye to their loved ones in the best way possible.
A feature run in the Plymouth Herald on 23 May 2017.

Q: Getting locals in given order with Python I have some functions that have huge inputs (some of them has 28 etc), I have to print those variables by same sequence with inputs. I'm getting those variables with locals() functions.
However this function gives me a dictionary which has totally different sequence.
So, how can I get these variables without changing their sequence ?

A: Give a look at this other SO question. They suggest several ways of doing what you want. The easiest one seems to be using inspect instead of locals.

Q: How to find out which installer package a given exe/dll belongs to I would like to know what MSI installed a given dll or exe on my system. I know that Windows fixes deleted files if they belong to an installed package. Can I query that information without actually deleting the file? Is there a tool or Win32 API to check what package a file belongs to?

A: It appears like there might be a way after all!
I recently discovered registry entries for files installed by Windows Installers under the following subtree:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData
I wrote a small Python script to lookup the installer for a file using the information stored there:
> python windows-installer-file-search.py opus.dll
File: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mumble\opus.dll
Product: Mumble 1.2.13
Install user: S-1-5-18
Cached installer: C:\Windows\Installer\2f6b072.msi

It is available here: https://github.com/Zero3/windows-installer-file-search

A: If you are okay with just finding plausible needles in the haystack, this quick and dirty abuse of 7-Zip will work:
7z.exe l -an -air!C:\Windows\Installer\*.msi > needlelist.txt

Then open needlelist.txt in any text editor, search for needlename.dll and you will find the corresponding .msi package in the listings generated by 7-Zip.
(Note: This method is 'dirty' because it just tells you which .msi packages that contains a file named needlename.dll. But it is probably fine for most use cases.)

Netflix Party aids group movie watching
Social distancing forced me to change one pastime where I screen dvds classes. This new adjustment inspired me to check out a program called Netflix Party, which lets groups watch the same show simultaneously but from different locations. Of course, many proclaim it as "easy" and "brainless," but my friends and I fall into an age group that works on a "need to know" basis with our personal computers: we need to know how to turn them on, type messages, and send e-mails. Beyond that, we require help from seven-year olds.
Proceeding confidently without any input from kids, we followed instructions by logging into netflixparty.com on our Google Chrome browsers. We responded to prompts and clicked various "add to" buttons. I also watched instructions on Youtube.
At an agreed-upon time, we all got in front of our p.c.s. I logged on to Netflix, started a movie, paused it, and clicked an icon in the top right that said N.P. Easy, right? So far, yes. Clicking the NP made me the screening's official quote "moderator," so I received a URL address that I copied and emailed to the group. Easy. Yes…but. We hit some snags.
It turned out one person used the Safari browser so she had to switch to Chrome. Then her p.c. crashed and she had to reboot. It took twenty-five minutes before all of us showed up in the Netflix Party chat box that comes on screen and lets us type in comments during and after the movie. Ultimately, the screening worked just fine and we had fun making snide comments and wise observations while watching the film. We want to do it again but agreed the next movie will be something more cheerful than Outbreak about a pandemic overtaking a small northern California town. Timely, yes, but we need a laugh.

Desert research leads to master's degree
08 December 2020 | Story Farah Khalfe. Photo Liezl Maritz. Video editors Nico Badenhuizen, Evan Zerf. Read time 6 min.
Liezl Maritz is graduating with her Master's in Biological Sciences.
"During my solo fishing expeditions, there would always be black-backed jackals nearby, indifferent to my presence, observing and patiently waiting for me to finish my dissections so they [could] collect fish scraps. Regular sightings of the peculiar brown hyena were a constant reminder of the wild nature of the coast. This experience has taught me to make time to reflect and appreciate the small moments in life."
This is how University of Cape Town (UCT) graduate Liezl Maritz describes the experience of completing her Master's in Biological Sciences while working in isolation on the coast of the southern Namib desert.
After completing a degree in environmental management in 2012, and then obtaining a BSc Honours in Geography – both from UNISA – Liezl was well equipped to identify and understand spatio-temporal patterning and the relationship between natural and anthropogenically induced phenomena.
In 2017 she put these skills to use when she began her master's. Her research took place within the Southern Coastal Mines licence area — one of the largest licencing areas held by Namdeb Diamond Corporation, where Liezl has been employed since 2012. The region is a high-security area enclosed by a double fence where public access is strictly controlled.
She undertook the first (and only) investigation of the ecological viability of wetland marine ponds created by diamond-mining activities.
"The mining activity that takes place progressively pushes the coastline out into sea. This enables mining to take place in what was previously a surf zone, in the lee of 'sea walls' that hold the sea at bay. In the process, multiple large marine ponds – some as much as 1 km long – are created along the coast, which are clearly visible on Google Earth," she said.
"Liezl aimed to assess whether these ponds could supplement the sparse estuarine and lagoonal systems that exist on the parched coast."
Prior to the mining, the coast was covered in a naturally occurring dune hammock system, which has now disappeared and been replaced by the man-made marine ponds. Liezl aimed to assess whether these ponds could supplement the sparse estuarine and lagoonal systems that exist on the parched coast.
When conducting her study, which took place on an area approximately 75 km in length and with 150 pools in total, she assessed the age, physical properties, amount of salt-marsh vegetation, bird species and fish benefitting from each pond. This allowed her to determine whether the ponds serve an important ecological role worth preserving.
In the end, the final verdict was positive. Her research revealed that the pools do in fact support and attract biodiversity.
"In short, they allow the development of salt marshes that would otherwise be absent, support populations of a limited number of marine fish species and have a remarkably rich waterbird fauna."
Findings from her research show that the rich waterbird fauna found in the area is on par with other regions classified as Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas. Thirty-six different bird species were recorded during her study, and the ponds provide an attractive alternative habitat for waterbirds to nest, forage and roost.
With these findings, as well as her ongoing research, Liezl is confident that she will make a valuable contribution to the biodiversity conservation efforts in the Southern Coastal Mines area and Namibia as a whole, as well as create opportunity for the fields of restoration, ecology and mining environmental management to expand and grow.
"There are a limited number of studies conducted in the area because of access restrictions, making the data I collect very valuable," she added.
Access control wasn't the only challenge she faced when completing her degree, however. She also had a full-time job and had to constantly balance her time, energy and attention. She overcame this obstacle by strictly managing her daily schedule and weekly deliverables. Allowing time for herself to rest and recuperate was also an important factor in her success.
"My conservation project is a continuation of my MSc project — with a focus on multiple bird species."
With only a two-way radio to communicate with security in the study area, and having remote contact with her supervisors, Liezl admitted that despite all the challenging times there were also many rewarding moments, which is "typical when spending time in nature".
She also recently completed a training programme for conservation leadership, administered by Fauna and Flora International and funded by De Beers. Moving forward, she plans to continue working on her conservation project for this programme.
"My conservation project is a continuation of my MSc project — with a focus on multiple bird species and explores the extent to which birds benefit from the existence of the mining ponds," she explained.
For Liezl, it was always a pleasure sharing her experiences with her supervisors, Professor George Branch and Dr Deena Pillay, who have visited and share the same passion for the unique area.
When it comes to motivational forces during her study, she credits Professor Branch for playing a critical role in her success.
"He is regarded as a world leader in the field of marine science and sets an admirable example of what one can achieve through hard work and dedication. His guidance, support and kindheartedness are what kept me motivated."
It is evident that for Liezl this degree is more than just an accolade. Instead, it is a symbol of the lasting positive impact and legacy she is leaving in her field and beyond.

HSE considering a complete ban on selling tobacco in Ireland
According to HSE figures, 100 people die and 1,000 people are hospitalised in Ireland every week because of tobacco use

The HSE is considering a total ban on the sale of tobacco in a bid to bring an end to cigarette smoking in Ireland.
Another strategy under consideration is to reduce the number of shops licensed to sell tobacco products - which are defined as anything containing tobacco for inhaling but does not include e-cigarettes.
These are both options being explored by an office of the HSE, according to an Irish Times report on Thursday.
It reported that the group is looking into making major tobacco companies cover the State's health costs associated with nicotine addiction.
Research will also explore introducing a year-on-year tax increase of up to 20% a year on the sale of tobacco products.
A number of surveys will be launched next year in a bid to test public support for the "innovative" proposals and results will be shared in a report for the Tobacco-Free Ireland Strategic Programme Plan 2022.
According to HSE figures, 100 people die and 1,000 people are hospitalised in Ireland every week because of tobacco use.
Gardaí release more details of Cork city New Year's Eve stabbing as teen arrested
Earlier this month, New Zealand introduced a ban on young people born after 2008 from buying cigarettes in a bid to stop them from ever taking up smoking.
It was one of the world's toughest crackdowns on the tobacco industry, as the country argued that other efforts to extinguish smoking were taking too long.
People aged 14 and under in 2027 will never be allowed to purchase cigarettes in the Pacific country of five million, part of proposals unveiled on December 9, that will also curb the number of retailers authorised to sell tobacco and cut nicotine levels in all products.
The restrictions would then be rolled out in stages from 2024, beginning with a sharp reduction in the number of authorised sellers, followed by reduced nicotine requirements in 2025 and the creation of the "smoke-free" generation from 2027.
The new rules would halve the country's smoking rates in as few as 10 years from when they take effect, the government said.
Smoking kills about 5,000 people a year in New Zealand, making it one of the country's top causes of preventable death.
Four in five smokers started before age 18, the country's government said.

But, meanwhile, the countdown seemed to be proceeding, and she hauled herself rapidly out of the cooling water, blotting the excess moisture from her body before tugging on her robe and knotting its sash firmly round her waist.
Malory had reached 'Two!' when she flung open the door and confronted him.
'So will I please go and leave you to your own devices,' he finished for her.
He studied her for a moment, his face expressionless. Then he said, 'Just as you wish' and, turning, went downstairs. She was brushing her hair in the bedroom when she heard his car drive away, and drew a breath of profound relief.
She couldn't deny that he'd been very kind, but it irked her that it should ever have been necessary. She had behaved like the top hysterical idiot of all time, and that was quite bad enough, without having Malory Templeton observing the whole performance as if she was some specimen for dissection.
Of course, he'd had an emotional set-back of his own, although he'd seemed to take it pretty much in his stride. Amanda put down her brush. If she was honest, she decided, she couldn't altogether blame Clare for chasing Nigel. He had a glamour that Malory totally lacked. Malory might be rich, and be the brains behind Templeton Laboratories, but in other ways he was pretty much of a nonentity. In fact, she found it difficult to recall exactly what he looked like. But what did that matter, she asked herself impatiently, when almost certainly she would never be obliged to see him again?
Nigel arrived an hour later. Amanda hadn't heard his car, but the two imperative rings at the doorbell were his trademark and, reluctantly, she went to answer his summons.
She stood silently aside to admit him to the hall.
'What was she doing there in the first place?' Amanda asked quietly.
The casual cruelty of it made her wince in swift distaste.
'Then why are we here?' Amanda asked wearily.
She heard herself say, 'It's not as simple as that…' and heard yet another echo from her conversation with Malory.
'But it is, or it could be if you'd let it.' Nigel took a step towards her, his face darkening a little as she backed away. For a moment, a sharp tension enwrapped them both, then he relaxed deliberately, giving vent to a little sigh.

There have been opportunities to reflect on leadership, organizational culture and change management during the past months at the University of Saskatchewan. The campus community has been involved in the impacts from TransformUS, a project that has been described by President Barnhart as "… too big, moving too fast". "We have been part of a crisis…" (the President's description of events) with activities unfolding in fast paced succession and resulting in the departure of several members of the senior leadership team. This astonishing progression was followed by a lull over the summer months as a modified leadership team met to determine a way forward.
During that time, although leaders were busy gathering information and consulting with stakeholders, there was little communication which deepened the feeling of suspension on campus. On September 9th, the President and senior team held a town hall meeting for the campus community and outlined their priorities for action this year. The majority of employees, I think, began to breathe again. Those who had resisted this change felt vindicated.
Although in normal times we take organizational culture for granted, in a crisis, which is usually characterized by accelerated change and often unpredictable outcomes, we long for familiar touchstones. Culture once established is difficult to change because it encompasses our overt beliefs and behaviours as well as those that are unspoken. When fundamental or transformative change is the goal then a shift in culture must occur if the change is to stick. This is why there have to be compelling reasons to initiate complex change. The cost of maintaining the status quo has to be higher than the cost of the proposed change to justify going ahead. Often, the change process involving a large scale change takes longer than predicted, and encounters more hurdles than anticipated.
There is a vast literature on managing change with lots of advice on doing it well and cautionary tales for failing. Daryl Conner and John P. Kotter are two researchers who have written widely and their theories and advice are quite accessible. Conner, author of Managing at the Speed of Change, addresses roles in change management. He examines peoples' psychological reactions to change, namely that we fear disruption of our expectations and seek control in our lives. Since employees have to "come along" for change to succeed, the most effective employees are those who are resilient, that is, they are adaptable in an ambiguous environment. Resilient employees look for some degree of direct or indirect control they can exert in the change process; they can assimilate the pace of change around them; they accept that there will be micro levels of change (will my desk move?) as well as macro changes at the organizational level. We all perceive things around us in our own way, so different frames of reference have to be taken into account when asking employees to participate in the change process.
Kotter developed 8 steps to transforming your organization in a 1996 article called Leading Change: Why Transformation Efforts Fail in HBR that is still cited. Firstly, Kotter advises creating a sense of urgency around the change process otherwise it's business as usual. Other steps include forming a powerful guiding coalition, creating a vision to direct the change, communicating that vision, and empowering others to act on it.
Returning to the impacts of TransformUS on the campus community, in my opinion, senior leadership could have been more effective in communicating the vision surrounding TransformUS. As well, they failed to modify the change process to take into account feedback from stakeholders who wanted their leaders to slow the process and be more forthcoming about the financial reasons for the initiative. On the part of employees, we didn't model resilient behaviour that would have positioned us to view the proposed changes through a more neutral lens acting for the benefit of the institution. In the fall of 2014, calmer times prevail, to be sure; I have to ask – have we settled for the comfort of the status quo and will we pay a bigger price sometime in the future?

Tickets are an important part of any event. For the consumer, they're the only tangible parts that remain long after the end of an event or trip, such as a concert, fair, raffle draw, or even a trip to the movies or an amusement park. A professionally-designed ticket can reinforce a brand, be it an organization, event, or cause, while giving people a remnant of the day to take away.
Tags, similarly, can be used in a number of ways. They can brand a product or piece of clothing, accompany product packaging, be used as identification while traveling, and bolster security to prevent thefts at point-of-sales locations.
Let The Agile Artist create the ticket to your success, and get professional designs that you'll love to showcase with a price tag that you'll be happy to pay for.

El patrón Decorator responde a la necesidad de añadir dinámicamente funcionalidad a un Objeto. Esto nos permite no tener que crear sucesivas clases que hereden de la primera incorporando la nueva funcionalidad, sino otras que la implementan y se asocian a la primera.

Motivación

Un ejemplo para poder ver la aplicabilidad del patrón decorador podría ser el siguiente:
Disponemos de una herramienta para crear interfaces gráficas, que permite añadir funcionalidades como bordes o barras de desplazamiento a cualquier componente de la interfaz.
Una posible solución sería utilizar la herencia para extender las responsabilidades de la clase. Si optamos por esta solución, estaríamos haciendo un diseño inflexible (estático), ya que el cliente no puede controlar cuándo y cómo decorar el componente con esa propiedad.
La solución está en encapsular dentro de otro objeto, llamado Decorador, las nuevas responsabilidades. El decorador redirige las peticiones al componente y, además, puede realizar acciones adicionales antes y después de la redirección. De este modo, se pueden añadir decoradores con cualidades añadidas recursivamente.

En este diagrama de clases, podemos ver que la interfaz decorador implementa la interfaz del componente, redirigiendo todos los métodos al componente visual que encapsula.
Las subclases decoradoras refinan los métodos del componente, añadiendo responsabilidades.
También se puede ver que el cliente no necesita hacer distinción entre los componentes visuales decorados y los sin decorar.

Aplicabilidad
 Añadir responsabilidades a objetos individuales de forma dinámica y transparente
 Responsabilidades de un objeto pueden ser retiradas
 Cuando la extensión mediante la herencia no es viable
 Hay una necesidad de extender la funcionalidad de una clase, pero no hay razones para extenderlo a través de la herencia.
 Existe la necesidad de extender dinámicamente la funcionalidad de un objeto y quizás quitar la funcionalidad extendida.

Estructura

Participantes

 Componente
Define la interfaz para los objetos que pueden tener responsabilidades añadidas.
Componente Concreto
Define un objeto al cual se le pueden agregar responsabilidades adicionales.
Decorador
Mantiene una referencia al componente asociado. Implementa la interfaz de la superclase Componente delegando en el componente asociado.
Decorador Concreto
Añade responsabilidades al componente.

Colaboraciones

El decorador redirige las peticiones al componente asociado.
Opcionalmente puede realizar tareas adicionales antes y después de redirigir la petición.

Consecuencias

Más flexible que la herencia. Al utilizar este patrón, se pueden añadir y eliminar responsabilidades en tiempo de ejecución. Además, evita la utilización de la herencia con muchas clases y también, en algunos casos, la herencia múltiple.
Evita la aparición de clases con muchas responsabilidades en las clases superiores de la jerarquía. Este patrón nos permite ir incorporando de manera incremental responsabilidades.
Genera gran cantidad de objetos pequeños. El uso de decoradores da como resultado sistemas formados por muchos objetos pequeños y parecidos.
Puede haber problemas con la identidad de los objetos. Un decorador se comporta como un envoltorio transparente. Pero desde el punto de vista de la identidad de objetos, estos no son idénticos, por lo tanto no deberíamos apoyarnos en la identidad cuando estamos usando decoradores.

Implementación

El patrón Decorator soluciona este problema de una manera mucho más sencilla y extensible.

Se crea a partir de Ventana la subclase abstracta VentanaDecorator y, heredando de ella, BordeDecorator y BotonDeAyudaDecorator. VentanaDecorator encapsula el comportamiento de Ventana y utiliza composición recursiva para que sea posible añadir tantas "capas" de Decorators como se desee.
Podemos crear tantos Decorators como queramos heredando de VentanaDecorator.

How Genetic Mutations Turned the Coronavirus Deadly
Tracing the path of a pandemic.
By Robert Bazell
Long before the first reports of a new flu-like illness in China's Hubei province, a bat—or perhaps a whole colony of them—was flying around the region carrying a new type of coronavirus. At the time, the virus was not yet dangerous to humans. Then, around the end of November, it underwent a slight additional mutation, evolving into the viral strain we now call SARS-CoV-2. With that flip of viral RNA, so began the COVID-19 pandemic.
As in almost every outbreak, the mutations that set off this global crisis went undetected at first, even though the family of coronaviruses was already known to cause a variety of human diseases. "These viruses have long been understudied and have not been given the attention or funding they have deserved," Craig Wilen, a virologist at Yale University, told me.
A bat coronavirus caused the SARS outbreak that terrified much of the world and killed 774 people in 2002 and 2003 before it was contained. Since then, there have been regular flare-ups of Middle East respiratory Syndrome or MERS, caused by another bat coronavirus that passes through camels; since 2012, it has killed 884 people. Most research on potential pandemics nevertheless continued to focus on influenza viruses, such as bird flu, because they carry a significant annual death toll. COVID-19 is exposing the dangers of such a single-minded approach.
DO NO HARM: Bats (like the horseshoe bat seen here, common in China) carry dozens of viruses in the coronavirus family. Most of the viruses live in harmony with their hosts and cause no harm.Taylor, Stoffberg, Monadjem, Schoeman, Bayliss & Cotterill / Wikimedia
A few scientists tried to sound the alarm. In a 2015 study, epidemiologist Ralph Baric and his colleagues at the University of North Carolina analyzed the genomes of bat coronaviruses and warned, "Our work suggests a potential risk of SARS-CoV re-emergence from viruses currently circulating in bat populations."1 A second paper from the same group the next year warned that another SARS-like disease from bat coronaviruses was "poised for human emergence."2
Bats are well known as a reservoir for potential new human diseases. The animals carry dozens, perhaps hundreds, of members of the coronavirus family. Most of those viruses are part of the bats' normal microbiome, living in harmony with their hosts and causing no harm. But coronaviruses, like all forms of life, accumulate random genetic changes as they reproduce. Occasionally the mutations allow the viruses to infect other animals (including humans) and to score the big win in natural selection: producing ever-more descendants.
A win for the virus, that is. For us, not so much.
Two critical mutations in the bat coronavirus set us on the path to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first modified the structure of the spike-like structures that protrude from the virus. Those protrusions give the virus its family name: "Corona" means "crown" in Latin. The altered spikes allow the virus to latch onto a protein called ACE2, which lines the respiratory tract.3 The related virus responsible for the SARS epidemic employs a similar infection mechanism, as does another bat coronavirus that causes common colds in humans.
The second key mutation allowed the coronavirus to grow a protein dagger called a furin, which can slice through other proteins to make the virus bind tightly to throat and lung cells.4 The furin protein is what made the COVID-19 virus so infectious and deadly to humans. In that sense, SARS-CoV-2 is similar to anthrax and various bird flus that also rely on furins to carry out their infection.
Two critical mutations in the bat coronavirus set us on the path to COVID-19.
Those mutations could have occurred while the virus was circulating in bats. It's also possible that one or both mutations could have erupted in a person who was infected by an earlier version of the virus, but who showed no symptoms. Most likely, there was an intermediate host between bats and humans. The pangolin, a creature prized in China for its meat and for the alleged medicinal value of its scales, is a strong candidate. Epidemiologists suspect that someone bought a pangolin at one of the "wet markets" in Wuhan and got infected consuming it, setting off the chain of transmission.
For now, this story of the emergence of COVID-19 is hypothesis. "I suspect we will never know," Wilen said, because we don't have enough samples of the viruses in bats, people, and potential intermediate hosts. But the narrative agrees with the ways that most pathogens transfer between species. This process of species-jumping, called zoonosis, accounts for 60 percent of human disease and 75 percent of newly emerging infections.
The narrative agrees, too, with detailed new studies of the virus using the tools of genetic epidemiology.5 Nature provides a convenient clock that aids the researchers trying to reconstruct the evolutionary history and development of viruses such as COVID-19. Every genome mutates at a predictable background rate. Most mutations yield no significant effects on the biology of the organism, but the tick-tick-tick of genetic changes allow scientists to construct the order in which different strains or species diverged from each other. With that information in hand, they can then construct a phylogenetic tree—a branching diagram that depicts the evolutionary relationships.
On January 10, a group of Chinese and Australian researchers published the first sequence of the (then-unnamed) new virus from the Wuhan outbreak on GenBank, a publicly accessible genetic data source. Other sequences from Wuhan quickly followed, allowing Trevor Bedford at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle to start constructing a phylogenetic tree of the virus that we now call SARS-CoV-2.
So far, there is no sign the virus is becoming any more deadly or infectious.
If the outbreak was caused by several viruses that had emerged from multiple sources, there would be much genetic diversity. In reality, Bedford saw little. "From very early on, it was clear that the nCoV genomes lacked the expected genetic diversity that would occur with repeated zoonotic events from a diverse animal reservoir," he said. His research progressed rapidly. On January 13, the first cases of COVID-19 appeared outside of China, in Thailand. Adding those two cases into his database, Bedford concluded that the world was facing an outbreak of a single, deadly new disease.
"The conclusion of sustained human-to-human spread became difficult to ignore on January 17, when novel coronavirus genomes from two Thai travel cases that reported no market exposure showed the same, limited genetic diversity," he said. "This genomic data represented one of the first and strongest indications of sustained, epidemic spread. As this became clear to me, I spent the week of Jan 20 alerting every public health official I know."
Almost no one listened. "I remember being flabbergasted by the continued narrow case definition and restricted testing," Bedford recalled. The United States did not declare a state of emergency until March 13.
Bedford is now trying to assist with the next stages in containing and combating the COVID-19 pandemic. He and his team run a project called Nexstrain that tracks multiple pathogens, including flu, tuberculosis, West Nile virus, and now SARS-CoV-2. As of March 20, the phylogenetic tree for SARS-CoV-2 included 855 genome sequences of different strains. The genetic sequences catalogued in Nexstrain and other genomic databases will allow infectious disease specialists to monitor any worrisome changes to the virus.
So far, there is no sign that the virus is becoming any more deadly or infectious—although neither is it becoming any less so. Near-stasis is typical for a new human pathogen. From an evolutionary perspective, SARS-CoV-2 is already doing a great job of reproducing itself. It's therefore feeling little evolutionary pressure to change. The viruses will just keep doing their thing until they are contained, or until they have killed their hosts.
A model for how COVID-19 might change comes from HIV/AIDS.
"Although none of the COVID-19 mutations look particularly interesting, there are a few things to watch for," Bedford said. He is particularly vigilant in monitoring any mutations in the spike protein, which would have big implications for vaccine development.
Flu season illustrates the potential impact of viral mutations. Influenza viruses manage to infect people continually because the proteins on their surfaces keep changing. Your immune system fails to recognize the viruses' reshuffled proteins, so you need a new flu shot every year. Fortunately, SARS-CoV-2 is quite a bit different. Flu viruses have a much smaller set of genes, and they circulate constantly between multiple species—pigs, birds, and people. Both attributes make mutations more likely in influenza than in coronaviruses, which contain one of the biggest RNA viral genomes and which jump across species barriers far less often.
A better model for how COVID-19 might change comes from the biggest pandemic of modern time: HIV/AIDS. Because of some of the most elegant genomic epidemiology work ever performed, we know that the ancestor of HIV had lived harmlessly in monkeys before jumping to chimps, probably through an ill-advised meal.6 In chimps, the virus evolved into something close to modern HIV. Around 1931, AIDS first appeared in a human in southwestern Cameroon; possibly someone was butchering a chimpanzee for food and got cut. HIV stayed rare among humans in rural Africa until entering the city of Kinshasa in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Once it reached an urban setting, transmission of the virus exploded, first there and then around the world.
When HIV was discovered in 1981, many people feared it would mutate into something even more deadly, possibly an airborne form. No one knew then that the virus had already been around for four decades without changing much. Another four decades later, HIV has not become any more deadly or infectious, yet it has still infected 75 million people and killed 32 million. Those are sobering numbers as we confront another disease that has jumped from animals to humans. Even if the COVID-19 virus proves to be slow-changing, like HIV, it may take years to get fully under control. And many more outbreaks of species-crossing disease are likely due to population growth and human encroachment on wild environments.
Will we learn our lessons? If you are a virologist, you will surely have a far easier time getting funds to study coronaviruses—for a while, at least. Almost every country is talking about beefing up its preparedness for another pandemic. And soon after the current outbreak began, the Chinese government shut down the sales of live animals for food and medicinal purposes in the loosely regulated wet markets.
Then again, China did the same after the SARS outbreak, when epidemiologists deduced that the virus started in bats and spread through a cat-like animal called a civet, also sold in the wet markets. Over the years, tradition and corruption quietly allowed the markets to reopen.

Connected devices security legislation outlook for 2021
January 6, 2021 Haydn Povey
This article aims to offers some insights and predictions about how legislation and technology will impact security in connected devices, also often referred to internet of things (IoT) devices, for the complete lifecycle of product development, from design to delivery and beyond, in 2021.
Currently security is primarily implemented only in high-end, next generation, expensive chips designed solely for companies specifying a need for some level of security. However, in 2021, this will no longer be the norm as security becomes – or must become – an inherent design feature of all chips, whether an $0.80 or $8.00 microcontroller. While the level of security may vary based on the protection required and its value, every device will need to have a certain "hygiene" level that is higher than the norm today. Security will thus become mainstream.
Simultaneously, security will become part of the development flow, and not separated. The C-suite executive in a business will realize that protecting code means is directly linked to protecting customers and the business. They will begin to define and set policy to create a secure supply chain where companies can manage the content in each product, including its development and upgrade programs, and protect its IP. These policies will be designed to ensure security at every step, from design to delivery, and to prevent hacks or backdoors.
In addition, these policies will mandate that updates are provided securely and in a timely manner, and that only updates with the right versioning from the right vendor can be applied with proper encryption technology when breaches occur.
Traceability in the supply chain
Finally, we will see the development of a more secure global supply chain that allows traceability much like in the agricultural/food industry. Security must be mandated at every point at which a company sources chips, subassemblies, and other devices from different manufacturers that ultimately are integrated into an end product.
Frameworks are evolving from organizations like the IoT Security Foundation, which require identity to be built into a product and to be included in a production manifest. Companies will have to demonstrate how a product is managed throughout its entire lifecycle to ensure it's not cloned, not counterfeited, and that it is secure. We will need to ensure the product has traceability much like food can be traced from farm to table today.
This change in mindset and behavior will come in part from legislation and in part from potential threats. For example, the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act was passed in the United States on December 4, 2020. It requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Office of Management and Budget to take specified steps to increase cybersecurity for IoT devices.
This was one of the few bills to receive bipartisan support in 2020, underscoring its importance. Throughout 2021 this will drive the adoption of enhanced devices as it is enforced to meet the mandates. It's a huge turning point. And they will need products like Secure Thingz Embedded Trust, and IAR Systems C-Trust to help meet those requirements.
Another example is Online Harm legislation that will we expect to become the norm in 2021. Countries around the world are adopting laws that enable them to block services like social networks, search engines, and other services if they are mendaciously enabling harmful content. This type of legislation will force the C-suite to take more responsibility for how their products and services are utilized, including cyber-stalking and coercive manipulation of victims, plus proactively fix or manage known issues.
Other important events to watch for in 2021 include:
GDPR-level fines. The EU signed onto the EN 303 645 Consumer IoT standard and is expected to adopt General Data Protection-level (GDPR) fines for data breaches, which can range from 10 million Euros to 4% of corporate global revenues. We will see other countries follow this lead.
Cyber-physical events leading to serious harm or death such as an automotive hack.
A significant artificial intelligence (AI) poisoning event, either accidental or intentional, that can occur when an AI system learns or is taught the wrong behavior.
These are the most important security developments that will impact 2021, as well as a few predictions about "headline-driving" events that we can be expect. The good news is that technology exists to ensure applications are secure and used as they are intended. Let's see what the year brings.
Haydn Povey is the founder and CEO of Secure Thingz, and general manager for embedded security solutions, for IAR Systems, a supplier of software tools and services for embedded development. He also currently sits on the executive steering board of the IoT Security Foundation. With over 20 years in management positions at global technology companies, Povey was also at Arm for 10 years where his roles included strategy and product roadmaps for IoT and M2M security, and leading the development and introduction of the Cortex-M microprocessor family.

DI was in the thick of it, and though there were more zipwires, craft beers and trapeze lessons than we could try, here's a shot at the top ten moments of 2017's Common People.
Being on-site in South Parks from the start meant DI could appreciate the plethora of food stalls, stages, disco sheds and family activities on offer. But we needed two more elements – weather and people. They were (respectively) glorious and super-numerous: half of Oxford's population, at my count. You were all dazzlingly attired, Oxford – from those wearing novelty animal tails to the glitterbearded gents, you were only outclassed by one woman staging her hen party here in full bridal regalia.
Many eras and genres being represented, it was ska survivors The Selecter that got our Saturday crowd bouncing. Their mix of effervescent rhythm and social consciousness is as potent as ever - Pauline Black has increased in regality, and 'Gaps' Hendrickson reading a roll-call of slain black youths was a sobering moment.
This was a week of nationally significant and reprehensible events - Common People created a safe space in the middle of a city, through things as pragmatic as bag-check policy and as perfectly judged as their celebratory décor. Mounted police were around on-site, but punters made friends with the forces and stroked their horses' manes.
"I got the right temperature to shelter you from the storm" promised former chef Mr Henriques – and a wave of Caribbean pop-fusion certainly helped keep the clouds away. We all heeded his suggestion to "Get jiggy / Get crunked up / Percolate", and (I'm told) club-ready dancehall could be heard all over OX4 and OX3.
Secretly, my favourite CP place was #PigsBigRecordClub, a vinyl-decked tent in which DJs spun 78s and other ancient formats. Saturday morning: introverts were artfully arranged across its sofas. Sunday afternoon: the tiny floor was heaving with all ages of punters were jiving to zydeco, ragtime and Little Richard.
Who'd've thought that an Elvis impersonator fronting a Nirvana tribute act could be a good idea, let alone something so vital? Singalongs to a grunge reading of 'Suspicious Minds', karate kicks executed in time to expert drum fills, and several outings into the crowd (to high-five a beaming 7-year-old, why not) changed plenty of minds.
Anyone still traumatised by the 'thong malfunction' of increasingly clothing-free Cuban Boys frontman can call the hotline number below.
Ok, so it's not really a moment – but to have the entire weekend of local acts on the Uncommon Stage showed what an embarrassment of riches Oxfordshire has. From the Epstein to the sweltered gypsy-punk-ska of Balkan Wanderers, from Catgod to Kanadia – DI thought this could've been a festival in itself, and enjoyed such new discoveries such as Leader and Low Island.
Quite some headliners ya got there, Common People! Rising soul star Rag 'n' Bone Man not only played a blinder, but visiting Oxford for the first time he was visibly moved to find thousands singing along to every word of his songs. He may have timeless tunes and the voice of a haunted Isaac Hayes, but Rory Graham unleashed the smile of a big kid.
In terms of artists, atmosphere and random things to do, Common People turned it up to 11. So my Top Ten is similarly overstuffed. 2017's closer Pete Tong and the Heritage Orchestra welcomed Chicagoan house pioneer Jamie Principle to the stage, dedicating his house classic 'Your Love' to Manchester in an undeniably moving experience amid a set full of bangers.

ID&T PURSUES SUMMARY JUDGEMENT FOR FESTIVALS WITHOUT CAMPING
After yesterday's announcement, that multi-day festivals will no longer take place this summer until September 1st, ID&T is pressing ahead with the summary proceedings for one-day festivals. They believe they can prove that one-day festivals can take place safely and will argue for this in court.
Now that the government will not clarify the situation regarding events without an overnight stay before 1 August, the organization and its co-claimants feel compelled to continue with the summary proceedings
Following the discussion on a sustainable future for the events industry that took place on Tuesday 20 July between the state and among others the ID&T Group, the Alliance of Event Builders, and Fieldlab Events at the proposal of Minister De Jonge, the government announced today that multi-day events with camping will not be allowed until 1 September.
"It is not an option for us to wait until August 13 for a decision for events that are already scheduled for the following day"
Rosanne Janmaat, COO of the ID&T Group: "Although we are extremely disappointed that we have to miss an edition of Mysteryland and Decibel outdoor for the second year in a row, we understand the ban on festivals with camping. Together with our suppliers and artists, our teams work extremely hard all year to do everything possible to give our visitors a fantastic experience, however, after consulting with the various government agencies, it appears that it is logistically impracticable to retest the camping guests every 24 hours."
However, the industry is left with great ambiguity regarding whether or not events can continue without an overnight stay. Despite previous discussions with government representatives indicating that a decision on non-overnight events is needed as soon as possible, the government announced today that it will not give a decision on this until August 13. This brings irresponsible high risks with it, the organization of events in August are in such a critical final phase that every day counts. Now that the government has indicated that it will only provide clarity on this matter on August 13, the ID&T Group feels that it has no other option but to continue the preliminary relief proceedings in order to force a faster decision. The court has been asked to schedule a hearing at the shortest possible notice.
"Based on the outcomes of the Fieldlab events, we know that we can safely and responsibly host events without an overnight stay. It is not an option for us to wait until August 13 for a decision for events that are already scheduled for the following day," said Rosanne Janmaat.
