tempted. The road leading from Clayton to Clarkesville, was.
formerly a toll-road, and is now a fair county-road, though in
places it has steep grades. Materials for road-building in Rabun
county are abundant and widely distributed. They consist of
granite, gneiss, hornblende-schist and trap rock. The gneisses are
the most common, available for road-purposes. They are found
in all parts of the county, and are generally compact and fine-
grained. Hornblende-schists are also abundant. Dr. Francis P.
King, formerly Assistant Geologist on this Survey, speaks of this-
rock's being found more or less plentiful, in the northeastern part
of the county, in the vicinity of Laurel Creek. Trap rock has
been seen by the writer at only one place in the county. This ex-
posure is at the Smith Gold mine near Burton, in the western part
of the county. The trap here occurs in the form of a small dike,,
only a few feet in thickness. A large deposit of this same stone is
reported to occur on the road to Tennessee valley, about 2 5^ miles-
north of Clayton.
Rabun county, in the last few years, has constructed three iron
bridges at a cost of $6,000. The roads are worked, on an average,,
about six days each y^r. They are said to have been much im-
proved in the last few years.

would involve the county in an enormous debt The question of
constructing passable roads through the more mountainous por-
tions of Habersham has been agitated for years. In the early for-
ties, a number of turnpikes were projected for this county, and a
few of them were actually built White, speaking of them in his
Statistics of Georgia^ says : "The Unicoy turnpike road tuns from
North Carolina to Clarksville, forty miles, crossing the Blue Ridge.
There is also a turnpike from Major Logan's, at Loudsville across
the Blue Ridge through Tesnatee gap, seven miles long; which
cost $3,000. It pays a good interest on the investment, and is
chartered for thirty years." These roads have all, since, passed
out of the hands of the stock companies ; and now they constitute
a part of the public-road system of the county, kept up entirely
by statute labor. The highways of Habersham at present are in
a fair condition considering the hilly nature of the county, and
the system, under which they are maintained. This is especially
true of all the main thoroughfares, such as the Nacoochee, the
Toccoa, the Tallulah and the Demorest roads. Were it not for the
unusually steep grades of these several roadways, in places, they
would compare favorably with the roads in the more level coun-
ties of the State. Each individual, subject to road-duty, is said to
work, on an average, about six days per annum. Most of this
time is put in, on general repairs, and but little work of a perma-
nent nature is attempted. The result of this method of road-
working is that the highways remain practically the same, from
year to year.
The road-building materials of Habersham county are the usual
crystalline rocks, common to the Crystalline area. The gneisses
are the most abundant, and are most widely distributed. Trap
rock (diabase) occurs in the vicinity of Toccoa and Tallulah. It
is also reported to occur in other portions of the county; but it
was examined only at the above named localities. One of the
best exposures of this class of rock examined by the writer occurs
in a cut on the Southern Railway about two miles northeast of
Toccoa. The rock appears here in the form of four well-defined
EQUIPMENT, METHODS AND MATERIALS, BY COUNTIES 123;.
dikes, one large, and three small ones. The smaller dikes, which
vary from a few inches to three feet in thickness, are all well ex-
posed in the cut ; while the large or main dike crosses the railroad
in a fill near by, but is to be seen in a small ravine, a few rods
south of the road, where it has a thickness of many feet. This
main dike can be traced, as a more-or-less continuous outcropping,
in a northwest direction for several miles. It is well exposed at
Toccoa creek, a few miles northwest of Toccoa, where it gives rise
to rapids in that stream. At several points along the line of out-
cropping between the Southern Railway and Toccoa creek, are
many exposures, where the weathered boulders are so abundant,
as to render the cultivation of the soil impracticable. The trap
occurring in the vicinity of Tallulah seems to be the northwest
extension of the dike. A microscopic study of the specimens of
this rock taken from the dikes on the Southern Railway shows it
to be a typical olivine-diabase. It varies from an exceedingly
fine- to a medium coarse-grain. Some specimens show a slight
tendency to a porphyritic structure, due to the presence of large,
stout crystals of plagioclase; though most of the plagioclase
crystals are small and needle-like.
The olivine is very abundant, and is often present in well formed
crystals, which occasionally show an advanced stage of serpentin-
ization. The specimens from the smaller dikes diflFer from the
specimens taken from the larger dikes, only in having a finer
texture or a closer grain. The rock is extremely difficult to break,,
and apparently possesses all the other qualities essential to a first-
class road material. Its proximity to the railroad, together with its
extent, makes the trap, here exposed, one of the most valuable de-
posits of this class of rock in the State.

White county is hilly, and the public roads often have steep
grades. The road materials of this county are abundant. They
consist of granites, gneisses and schists. There is also much gravel
along the streams, well suited for road-surfacing. The roads are
worked, on an average, only about five days each year; and they
are frequently in bad condition, during the winter and early spring
months.
The streams of the county are rapid, and are rarely bridged.
The fords are generally rocky, and frequently dangerous, especially
when the streams are swollen.

Topographically, Lumpkin county is quite mountainous, and
the cost of building roads of easy grades throughout its several
districts would necessarily be very expensive. The majority of
the leading thoroughfares were located, many years ago, during
the early gold excitement in that region ; and but little attention
seems to have been given to the question of grades. In order to
establish first-class roads in Lumpkin county, as well as in the
majority of the other mountainous counties of North Georgia, it
is essential, that the roads, in many cases, should ^ re-located.
This would not only reduce the cost of construction, but it
would at the same time greatly lessen the expense of maintenance.
The several roads radiating from Dahlonega, the county-seat, were
nearly all originally badly located, and, in most cases, they will
probably remain unchanged. No modem practical highway-
-engineer would attempt any permanent improvement on these
roads, until they are surveyed and re-located.
The clays of Lumpkin county, which originate chiefly from the
EQUIPMENT, METHODS AND MATERIALS, BY COUNTIES 135
breaking down of the gneisses and schists, are usually of a red
color. They make good roads, as long as they are dry and well
drained ; but, in the winter and early spring, they often become
almost impassable.
The streams of the county are numerous and rapid. The larger
ones are generally crossed by wooden bridges, which are not always
kept in the best repair. The county at present owns one iron
bridge, erected at a cost of $3,5CX).
The roads of the county are kept up entirely by statute labor.
They are worked, on an average, seven days each year ; but much
of this time is idled away.
The road-building materials are chiefly gneisses and schists.
There is also, in some places, granite, which appears as intru-
sions, mostly in the form of small dikes. It is usually coarse-
grained, and poorly suited for road-metal. The following is a de-
scription of two diflFerent varieties of schist, of very common occur-
rence in Lumpkin county, g^ven by Dr. Thomas L. Watson, in
the report on the Gold Deposits of Georgia : — *
"No. 4. Locality — The dump-pile of the Moore and Cannon
cut. Singleton mine.
Quartz-Amphibolite {Hornblende-Schist). This is a rather
coarse-grained, dark-colored, speckled rock, with a decided schistose
structure, when viewed from one side. Otherwise, it appears to be
perfectly massive. Hornblende, quartz and pyrite are discernible,
megascopically ; the pyrite, however, only in occasional small
particles.
Microscopically, the rock is composed principally of common
green hornblende, quartz and epidote, with some pyrite and cal-
cite. The hornblende is mostly prismatic and fibrous in outline,
although allotriomorphic grains occur, in which both cleavages
are well developed. The epidote occurs in irregular small grains,
scattered through the interlocking quartz grains.

Deposits of Georgia ; pp. 324 and 327.
Mica (Muscovite-Biotite) -Schist. Megascopically, the rock is
medium-grained, very light-colored, and rather finely banded.
Quartz, miiscovite and biotite are visible. Microscopically, the
rock consists essentially of quartz, biotite and muscovite. Some
feldspar, more or less altered, with numerous small grains of
epidote, are found scattered through the section.
The two micas are intimately associated, and are present, in
about equal proportions. Both are drawn out into long, narrow
strips, which are grouped into layers, arranged in the direction of
their longer diameters. The greater part of the rock is made up
of quartz, which forms irregular-shaped grains."
Both these varieties of schist are very abundant in the vicinity
of Dahlonega. The former is often associated with gold-bearing
rocks, and is called, by the miners, brick-bat^ from its peculiar
mode of weathering. It is very hard ; and, when massive, it makes
an excellent road material.
Gravel is found, more or less plentiful, in all the streams. Espe-
cially is this true of those streams, which have been worked for
gold. In many places, there are to be seen great heaps of gravely
ready for use on the roadway.

Topographically, Dawson county is broken ; and in places it
becomes quite mountainous. The construction of first-class roads
in the county will always be an expensive undertaking, on ac-
count of the cost of grading. The county is well supplied with
granite, gneiss etc., suitable for road-surfacing. Hornblende-
schist is quite abundant in this county ; at many places, when de-
composed, it gives rise to the red hills. Trap rock is reported

at a number of localities in the county ; but its extent and mode
of occurrence have not been investigated. The roads of Daw-
son county, at the time of the writer's visits, were found to be
in fair condition, for a hilly district. Some of the roads, in places,
have very steep grades; but, in many cases, these difficulties could
be overcome by re-locating the roads ; while in others, expensive
grading would have to be resorted to, in order to construct first-
class roadways with easy grades.
The citizens of the-county appear to be satisfied with the present
system of road-maintenance ; or, at any rate, the question of chang-
ing their plan seems not to have been generally discussed.

The roads of Forsyth county are worked, on an average, about
five days each year; and, as a consequence, they are not always
in first-class condition. The surface of the county is generally
hilly, and the roads, in places, have steep grades. This defect,
however, in many places, could be easily overcome by the re-loca-
tion of the roads.
The road-building materials of the county consist of granites,
gneisses, hornblende-schists and trap rock. The last named rock
is said to be found in large quantities along the Chattahoochee
river, in the eastern part of the county. It is also reported to
occur in the northern part of the county.
The Ordinary, in speaking of the method of road-maintenance
now in force, says : * * Our roads are worked under the old road
law. In my opinion, the new law would prove more satisfac-
tory."
Forsyth county has constructed, in the last few years, three ex-
cellent iron bridges, at a total cost of about $10,000.

The highways of Hall county, at the time of the writer's visit,
were found to be in fair condition, considering the system, under
which they are maintained. There appears to be considerable in-
terest manifested throughout the county for the betterment of the
highways ; and it seems to be only a question of time, when the
county will levy a special highway tax, and the roads will be kept
tip, by means of hired or convict labor. Dr. E. E. Dixon, Chair-
man, Board of Roads and Revenues, in speaking of the roads of
Hall county, says: "Our present system is imperfect. We are
trying to work up a sentiment to move up on a better system."
The road-building materials of Hall county are granite, gneiss,
hornblende-schist and trap rock. The first three varieties of rock
are quite abundant throughout the county ; while the latter is lim-
ited to a few localities. One of the best exposures of trap rock in
the county occurs on the old federal road about eight miles south
of Gainesville, and five miles east of Flowery Branch. It occurs
here in large quantities on the surface in the form of rounded bowl-
ders, which vary in size from a few inches to several feet in diam-
eter. The rock is exposed at no place in situ. However, judging
from the large number of bowlders on the surface, the dike must
be several feet in thickness. A similar dike, or probably a con-
tinuation of the same one, is exposed near the Southern Railway
two miles south of Gainesville. The outcropping here is also in
the form of bowlders of disintegration, which are frequently of
large size, and so abundant, in places, as to seriously aflFect the cul-
tivation of the soil. A specimen of the rock (Museum No. 1,654),
secured from this exposure, was shown by microscopic examination
to be oli vine-diabase, or a true trap rock, the best known material
for road-surfacing. The rock is fine-grained and of a dark-g^ay

color, and consists of plagloclase, augite and olivine. Other ex-
posures of trap rock are reported, both in the eastern and western
part of the county ; but they were not examined. The trap dike,
spoken of above, near the city limits of Gainesville, seems to offer
an excellent opportunity for that city to secure the best of material
for street macadam at small cost.

The highways of Banks county are reported by the Ordinary,
Mr. T. F. Hill, to be in poor condition. It is practically impossi-
ble to maintain first-class dirt roads, in any hilly section of the
country, like Banks county, by statute labor, when the number of
working days is so small.
Road materials are abundant in Banks county. They consist of
granite, gneiss and probably trap rock. The latter, however, has
not been examined ; though it has been reported to occur in sev-
eral localities.

Franklin county lies wholly within the Crystalline area. The
surface is rolling, and the soils are mostly clays. The roads are
generally in fair condition, considering the method, under which
they are maintained.
Road-building materials are plentiful. They consist mainly of
granites, gneisses and trap rock. The granites and gneisses are
often fine-grained, and well-suited for road -surfacing.
Trap rock occurs in a large, more or less continuous dike, trav-
ersing the county in a northwest-and-southeast direction. This
dike seems to be a continuation of the one intersecting the South-
ern Railway near Toccoa. Good exposures of it are to be seen
four miles northeast of Carnesville, on the road leading to Lavo-
nia; also, on the Elberton Air-Line Railroad, two miles northwest
of Martin station. Between these two points, are numerous other
outcroppings, where the rock occurs in considerable abundance in
rounded bowlders in the woods and cultivated fields. The thick-
ness of the dike varies from a few yards to several rods. Near the
main dike, are to be seen, in places, small dikes running parallel
with it. The smaller ones are often only a few inches in thick-
The following is a description of a specimen of the rock, taken
from the largest dike : —

road to Toccoa.
Megascopically, this is a rather coarse-grained, dark-gray rock,
in which the needle-like crystals of plagioclase are quite conspic-
uous. There is also to be seen on a fresh fracture large angular
grains or imperfect, glistening crystals of plagioclase, which give
to the rock a somewhat porphyritic structure. Microscopic exami-
nation shows, that all the original mineral constituents, with the
exception of magnetite, have commenced to undergo alteration.
Many of these plagioclase crystals are more or less completely
kaolinized. . The augite is undergoing uralitization, or changing

statute and free hired labor.
The surface of Hart county is generally much broken ; and the
cost of constructing first-class highways with easy grades is neces-
sarily great.
The materials of the county for road-building are abundant and
quite generally distributed. They consist of granite, gneiss, horn-
blende-schist and trap. The last-named rock is reported as occur-
ring at several localities in the county in large quantities.
The roads are at present being kept up by means of statute and
free labor. They are reported to be in fair condition. The county
levies a special tax, of one mill on the dollar, for road purposes.
The amount collected from this source is about $2,500. This
amount is used for the payment of hands employed on the roads.
Each person, subject to road-duty in Hart county, is required to
pay a commutation-tax of $1.60, or work on the public roads four
days annually. The present system of road-working in this county
has been in operation only a short time, and its merits have not
yet been tested.

Elbert county lies in the northeastern part of the State, wholly
within the Crystalline area. Its surface is usually rolling, and the
highways in places have steep grades. The crystalline rocks suit-
able for road purposes including granites, gneisses, trap etc., com-
mon to the Crystalline area, are both abundant and widely distrib-
uted. Typical specimens of the granite, which occurs in this
county, may be seen at the quarries near Elberton, where the stone
is extensively worked for monumental and building purposes. The
stone is medium fine-grained, has great strength, and is well suited

for macadam. Trap rock is reported as occurring at several local-
ities in the county ; but it was examined at only one place, namely,
on E. B. Heard's property near Blue Branch, some seven miles
east of Elberton. The trap occurs here in two small dikes, neither
of which has a thickness of more than four feet. Both dikes are
well exposed in the embankment on either side of the public road.
They are only a few feet apart, and correspond in dip and strike
to the enclosing gneisses and schists. These dikes can be traced
for some distance through the cultivated fields, by the weathered,
rounded bowlders lying on the surface.
A specimen of the trap rock (Museum No. 1,603) » taken from the
exposure on the roadside at Blue Branch, is a fine-grained, dark-
gray, olivine-diabase, weathered into the usual characteristic
rounded form. The individual minerals are diflScult to make out,
without the use of a lens. Examination in thin sections under
the microscope, shows an unusually large amount of olivine, which, •
in places, has partly altered into serpentine. The plagioclase
occurs in the form of long needles and as short stout crystals.
The latter are not abundant. The augite is present in the form of
plates and irregular masses, filling up the interstices between the
feldspar crystals. It rarely shows any distinct cleavage lines.
Magnetite and chlorite are both present. The former mineral
occurs in considerable abundance, usually as crystals. It would
be a difficult matter, to find a rock better suited for road-surfacing
than the trap here described.
Another rock (Museum No. 1,627), well-suited for road*purposes,
occurs at the Pearl cotton-mills, six miles east of Elberton. This
is a medium fine-grained, dark-green, massive diorite, with a few
large, conspicuous crystals of green hornblende. The other min-

In this paper we investigate teaching with a classroom response system in introductory physics with emphasis on two issues. First, we discuss retention between question rounds and the reasons why students avoid answering the question a second time. A question with declining response rate was followed by a question addressing the student reasons for not answering. We find that there appear to be several reasons for the observed decline, and that the students need to be reminded. We argue that small drops are unimportant as the process appears to work despite the drops. Second, we discuss the dynamics of learning in a concept-sequence in electromagnetism, where a majority of the students, despite poor statistics in a first round, manage to answer a followup question correctly. In addition, we analyse the response times for both situations to connect with research on student reasoning on situations with misconception-like answers. From the combination of the answer flows and response time behaviours we find it plausible that conceptual learning occurred during the discussion phase.

The wavefunction is the central mathematical entity of quantum mechanics, but it still lacks a universally accepted interpretation. Much effort is spent on attempts to probe its fundamental nature. Here I investigate the consequences of a matter ontology applied to spherical masses of constant bulk density. The governing equation for the center-of-mass wavefunction is derived and solved numerically. The ground state wavefunctions and resulting matter densities are investigated. A lowering of the density from its bulk value is found for low masses due to increased spatial spreading. A discussion of the possibility to experimentally observe these effects is given and the possible consequences for choosing an ontological interpretation for quantum mechanics are commented upon.

In this work, I consider the center-of-mass wave function for a homogenous sphere under the influence of the self-interaction due to Newtonian gravity. I solve for the ground state numerically and calculate the average radius as a measure of its size. For small masses, M≲10−17 kg, the radial size is independent of density, and the ground state extends beyond the extent of the sphere. For masses larger than this, the ground state is contained within the sphere and to a good approximation given by the solution for an effective radial harmonic-oscillator potential. This work thus determines the limits of applicability of the point-mass Newton Schrödinger equations for spherical masses. In addition, I calculate the fringe visibility for matter-wave interferometry and find that in the low-mass case, interferometry can in principle be performed, whereas for the latter case, it becomes impossible. Based on this, I discuss this transition as a possible boundary for the quantum-classical crossover, independent of the usually evoked environmental decoherence. The two regimes meet at sphere sizes R≈10−7 m, and the density of the material causes only minor variations in this value.

Refraction, interference, and diffraction are distinguishing features of wavelike phenomena. Although they are usually associated only with a purely spatial wave-propagation pattern, analogs to interference and diffraction involving the spatio-temporal dynamics of waves in one dimension have been discussed. We complete the triplet of analogies by discussing how spatio-temporal analogs to refraction are exhibited by a quantum particle in one dimension that is scattering off a step barrier. Similarly, birefringence in spacetime occurs for a spin-1/2 particle in a magnetic field.

We have obtained numerically exact results for the spin-related geometric quantum phases that arise in p-type semiconductor ring structures. The interplay between gate-controllable (Rashba) spin splitting and quantum-confinement-induced mixing between hole-spin states causes a much higher sensitivity of magnetoconductance oscillations to external parameters than previously expected.

We generalize the standard linear-response (Kubo) theory to obtain the conductivity of a system that is subject to a quantum measurement of the current. Our approach can be used to specifically elucidate how back-action inherent to quantum measurements affects electronic transport. To illustrate the utility of our general formalism, we calculate the frequency-dependent conductivity of graphene and discuss the effect of measurement-induced decoherence on its value in the dc limit. We are able to resolve an ambiguity related to the parametric dependence of the minimal conductivity.

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is an important tool for controlling light propagation and nonlinear wave mixing in atomic gases with potential applications ranging from quantum computing to table top tests of general relativity. Here we consider EIT in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped in a double-well potential. A weak probe laser propagates through one of the wells and interacts with atoms in a three-level Lambda configuration. The well through which the probe propagates is dressed by a strong control laser with Rabi frequency Omega(mu), as in standard EIT systems. Tunneling between the wells at the frequency g provides a coherent coupling between identical electronic states in the two wells, which leads to the formation of interwell dressed states. The macroscopic interwell coherence of the BEC wave function results in the formation of two ultranarrow absorption resonances for the probe field that are inside of the ordinary EIT transparency window. We show that these new resonances can be interpreted in terms of the interwell dressed states and the formation of a type of dark state involving the control laser and the interwell tunneling. To either side of these ultranarrow resonances there is normal dispersion with very large slope controlled by g. We discuss prospects for observing these ultranarrow resonances and the corresponding regions of high dispersion experimentally.

The Sagnac effect is an important phase coherent effect in optical and atom interferometers where rotations of the interferometer with respect to an inertial reference frame result in a shift in the interference pattern proportional to the rotation rate. Here, we analyze the Sagnac effect in a mesoscopic semiconductor electron interferometer. We include in our analysis the Rashba spin-orbit interactions in the ring. Our results indicate that spin-orbit interactions increase the rotation-induced phase shift. We discuss the potential experimental observability of the Sagnac phase shift in such mesoscopic systems.

We study the photoassociation of Bose-Einstein condensed atoms into molecules using an optical cavity field. The driven cavity field introduces a dynamical degree of freedom into the photoassociation process, whose role in determining the stationary behavior has not previously been considered. The semiclassical stationary solutions for the atom and molecules as well as the intracavity field are found and their stability and scaling properties are determined in terms of experimentally controllable parameters including driving amplitude of the cavity and the nonlinear interactions between atoms and molecules. For weak cavity driving, we find a bifurcation in the atom and molecule number occurs that signals a transition from a stable steady state to nonlinear Rabi oscillations. For a strongly driven cavity, there exists bistability in the atom and molecule number.

Detection of weak forces with an accuracy beyond the standard quantum limit holds promise both for fundamental research and for technological applications. Schemes involving ultracold atoms for such measurements are now considered to be prime candidates for increased sensitivity. In this paper we use a combination of analytical and numerical techniques to investigate the possible subshot-noise estimation of applied force fields through detection of coherence dynamics of Bose-condensed atoms in asymmetric double-well traps. Following a semiclassical description of the system dynamics and fringe visibility, we present numerical simulations of the full quantum dynamics that demonstrate the dynamical production of phase squeezing beyond the standard quantum limit. Nonlinear interactions are found to limit the achievable amount to a finite value determined by the external weak force.

Q: How can I create structure for object and get values in golang? I'm trying to write a function that will take an encoded string, send a request to the jsonrpc service, then I need to choose a boring data (ask:assets:interface) and create a new variables
How can I create structure for object:
{
  "ask": {
  "amount": 0,
  "assets": [
    {
      "assetref": "74-266-27408",
      "name": "USD",
      "qty": 5000
    }
  ]
  },
  "cancomplete": true,
  "candisable": true,
  "complete": false,
  "offer": {
  "amount": 0,
  "assets": [
    {
      "assetref": "73-266-61482",
      "name": "BTC",
      "qty": 1
    }
  ]
  },
  "requiredfee": 0
}

And make a function wich decode hex string:
type Order struct {
    Ask []Ask `json:"ask"`
    Cancomplete bool `json:"cancomplete"`
    Candisable bool `json:"candisable"`
    Complete bool `json:"complete"`
    Offer []Offer `json:"offer"`
    Requiredfee int `json:"requiredfee"`
}

func DecodeOrder(datahex string) (Order)   {
    order, _ := rpcClient.Call("decoderawexchange", datahex)
    var d = make([]Order, 0, 100)
    err := order.GetObject(&d)
    if err != nil || d == nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    return d
}

Issue resolved using generated structure:
type Order struct {
    Ask struct {
        Amount float64 `json:"amount"`
        Assets []struct {
            Assetref string `json:"assetref"`
            Name     string `json:"name"`
            Qty      float64    `json:"qty"`
        } `json:"assets"`
    } `json:"ask"`
    Cancomplete bool `json:"cancomplete"`
    Candisable  bool `json:"candisable"`
    Complete    bool `json:"complete"`
    Offer       struct {
        Amount float64 `json:"amount"`
        Assets []struct {
            Assetref string `json:"assetref"`
            Name     string `json:"name"`
            Qty      float64    `json:"qty"`
        } `json:"assets"`
    } `json:"offer"`
    Requiredfee float64 `json:"requiredfee"`
}

A: I did not get so much from your explanation but you can cycle through the arrays like this with range operation which returns index and value.
for index, value := range !YourArray!{
        //Do your stuff here
    }
edit:
Just to get single value from for loop with range you can use _ operator to neglect the unwanted variable.
    for _, u := range urls {

Above index variable neglected,
    for i, _ := range urls {

Value variable neglected.

production: MM Square Film
Shi-lan is fourteen and eagerly delves deeper into the world of video games as the relationships with his adolescent peers are becoming increasingly difficult. The weird physiological symptoms he is experiencing do not make his life any easier. And their cause is very serious – Shi-lan's parents keep from him the diagnosis of sex development disorders. Without informing him about the real goal of the procedure, they subject the boy to a sex reassignment surgery, after which he will slowly become a girl.
The dramatic story of the young person is a rare cinematic attempt to portrait the complex experiences of intersex people and the multiple layers of misunderstanding they are facing – and an intriguing look at the gender norms in the Taiwanese society. It is also a universal story of a person who was denied their basic right to decide about themselves, served in a very moving form.
The director, inspired by a story of a person close to her, directs her message at a wide audience, looking for a way to raise debate about the rights of intersex people and the medical procedures they are subjected to. The leading role is played by a young Taiwanese actress, Lily Lee, who received the Yakushi Pearl Award at the Festival in Osaka for her performance.
Lily Ni
Director and screenwriter. She studied at the Beijing World Youth Academy, Boston University and University of Southern California. She made over a dozen shorts, including the award-winning "FeMale" (2016). "Born to Be Human" is her feature debut.

Noun(1) a photograph made by an early photographic process; the image was produced on a silver plate sensitized to iodine and developed in mercury vapor
(1) Although Philadelphians were intrigued by the invention of the daguerreotype , photographic portraits did not fully meet their needs during the 1840s and 1850s.(2) In the mid 19th century, Scottish photographers were among the first to use the variety of photographically linked techniques such as the calotype, daguerreotype and photogravure.(3) Talbot's negative-positive process was a major factor in the decline of the daguerreotype - which was a one-shot, like a Polaroid.(4) After all, it is no coincidence that the daguerreotype in its highly polished and silver plated form was known as the ÔÇÿmirror with the memory.ÔÇÖ(5) In the mid-1800s, with the invention of the daguerreotype and the fixed printing processes of William Henry Fox Talbot, photography as a tool of art and science rapidly evolved.(6) Over the summer I had established that my photograph in fact was a copy of a daguerreotype made years earlier.(7) Within a few months of the announcement of the first daguerreotype in Paris in 1839, photography had arrived in India.(8) Like all the archaic photograph processes - and like a Polaroid - the daguerreotype delivers instant gratification.(9) In the French version of this exhibition, for example, a daguerreotype titled Study of Rocks appeared in a section titled ÔÇÿVues de Paris et de France.ÔÇÖ(10) Its inventor around 1820 was the French landscape painter Louis Daguerre, later a pioneer of photography and originator of the daguerreotype .(11) Starting with the invention of the daguerreotype in France in the late 1830s, photography has undergone a succession of technical innovations.(12) Like the earlier daguerreotype , each image is unique, made one at a time in the camera.(13) Studio photographers produced most of the earliest images using standard-sized plates for daguerreotypes , ambrotypes, and tintypes.(14) In the first three chapters of her book, Sandweiss focuses on early daguerreotypes taken by photographers during the Mexican-American War and by photographers employed to document early government expeditions to the West.(15) Most of the earliest daguerreotypes were portraits.(16) Those who mastered the rather complicated process of making daguerreotypes were awestruck that these pictures revealed details invisible to the naked eye.

Q: Can the Sequel Gem connect to MySQL over SSL Does anyone have any information on how to connect from the sequel gem to a remote mysql database over ssl?  I can connect without ssl but trying to connect as a user who requires ssl just fails with the error message:
Sequel::DatabaseConnectionError: Mysql::Error Access denied for
user 'ssl_user'@'<IP_ADDRESS>' (using password: YES)

I can connect fine using the mysql client so I'm guessing that maybe sequel can't handle ssl - though I would have thought that this was the job of the mysql client library.
Thanks
Chris

A: You can try the patch at http://pastie.org/pastes/1232925/text and specifying either the :sslca or :sslkey options.  If I works, let me know and I'll try to make sure it makes it into the next version of Sequel.

The three different stages are based on age and are scientifically designed to ensure that you are giving your little one the right level of nutrition needed for their age. Given that infants (ages 0-3 months) are solely breastfed, they require different nutrients than a bub who is older and able to consume solid foods and drink water. The formulation for each stage is regulated and designed to ensure that all babies are getting the right nutrients needed for their ages to establish a healthy growth and brain development.

FDB Launches 2015 FDB Small & Medium Enterprises Awards in Suva
Recent News News
WELCOME & INTRODUCTION NAFITALAI CAKACAKA – GENERAL MANAGER BUSINESS RISK SERVICES
Chief guest Professor Ian Rouse;
Our valued sponsors, invited guests, our friends from the media, ladies and gentlemen.
A very warm welcome to you all this morning.
Today we will launch the 2nd FDB Small & Medium Enterprises Awards.
This initiative which only started last year succeeds the bank's former Small Business Awards, a journey that goes way back to 2004.
I'm excited at the inclusion of new sponsors in this year's awards and I thank Quality Print Ltd, Vinod Patel, Fiji TV and Redox Fiji for choosing to sponsor these prestigious awards for the first time. For the benefit of our chief guest and our new sponsors, let me take you back down memory lane.
In 2004 the bank introduced the FDB National Small Business Awards which drew inspiration from our clients who against insurmountable odds, continue to thrive because of their tenacity and determination.
The name change a year later in 2005 to the FDB Small Business Awards, set the trend of continuous development and innovation, propelling this event to continuously aspire for greater heights.
In light of this, we transformed the FDB Small Business Awards to what is now the FDB Small & Medium Enterprise Awards further expanding the awards to include the medium enterprises locally. What this means is that businesses that turn over up to $500,000 per annum are now eligible to enter as opposed to the $100,000 per annum requirement previously.
The theme for this year's event is "Courage, the Sure Step to Success" signifying that starting or running a business is not for the faint of heart!
I have always been of the view that anyone that starts a business deserves a medal! One can have all the requisite tools of starting a business but without the valour to take that first step, everything counts for nothing! Awards such as these are one of the avenues that such courage is rewarded.
The SME Awards is very unique in that entrants do not need to be a customer of the Bank to participate. Entry is free of charge and open to anyone to enter. FDB with the assistance of our kind sponsors fully funds the travels, meals and accommodation costs for the finalists. I can assure you this will be a rewarding experience for those who choose to enter the awards.
A total of 15 awards and $36,000 in prize money are up for grabs for this year.
There are five main categories which are Agriculture, Manufacturing, Wholesale & Retail, Tourism and Professional Business Services.
For the jury prizes, there are four main awards and these are the Best Business Practice Award sponsored by LICI, the Best Risk Management Award sponsored by Sun Insurance, the Green Conscious Award sponsored by New India Assurance and the Rookie Entrepreneur of the Year award sponsored by Redox. The Rookie Entrepreneur award is aimed at encouraging young entrepreneurs to step into the world of business!
The final award is the SME of the Year Award sponsored by FDB. This award will be given to the SME entrepreneur that best exemplifies the spirit of enterprise, innovation and good financial management.
Ladies and gentlemen at this juncture I would like to introduce our chief guest Professor Ian Rouse.
Professor Rouse has been the acting Vice Chancellor for the Fiji National University since January this year.
Prior to his appointment, Professor Rouse was the Dean of the Fiji School of Medicine since 2009. He has undergraduate qualifications in biological sciences, postgraduate experience in health sciences, doctoral research in epidemiology and postdoctoral research in nutritional epidemiology from the Harvard University.
His employment history spans the fields of medical research, public health, epidemiology and information management in Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and the United States. He has been involved in the medical fraternity since joining the Biochemistry Department of the University of Western Australia in 1975.
So why ask a medicine man and the head of FNU to speak on small & medium enterprises?
FNU provides the much needed training to mould and enhance business minded individuals through its College of Business, Hospitality and Tourism Studies, the College of Engineering, Science and Technology, the College of Agriculture and the National Training and Productivity Centre.
As an educator, Professor Rouse is aware of the importance of SMEs as an economic driver in providing employment opportunities to students graduating through FNU.
He recently spoke at a training of trainers on Total Quality Management for SMEs focusing on the need for SMEs to embrace quality systems. At the helm of FNU, the good Professor will be able to fully appreciate the importance of SMEs to any economy.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I invite Professor Rouse to deliver his keynote address and launch the 2015 FDB Small & Medium Enterprises Awards.
Vinaka Vakalevu.

Mourinho foresaw United's derby downfall and was powerless to stop it
Manchester United lost to Manchester City after going behind early. Jose Mourinho feared it would happen, but could do nothing to stop it.

The most die-hard Manchester United fan would have feared the worst when Paul Pogba was ruled out of the derby against Manchester City through injury.
It proved a well-founded concern. Last season, Pogba was the catalyst as United came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Etihad Stadium and delay its neighbour's title celebrations. This time, with the scoreline reading the same, Pogba was seated in the stands, chewing gum with a mournful expression.
Jose Mourinho did not look dissimilar even though the champion did offer United a lifeline through Ederson's clumsy challenge on Romelu Lukaku, which let Anthony Martial score from the penalty spot. The nerves jangled around the blue seats again. But the early damage was too great even before Ilkay Gundogan's fine finish made the win safe. It was just as Mourinho had predicted.
On Wednesday, United came from a goal down to beat Juventus 2-1 in Turin. It was a brilliant result, and the third time this season the side has come from behind to win. But Mourinho was worried.
"If we keep conceding goals before the opponent, there will arrive the day where we cannot come back," he said on Friday. So it proved.
Just like those matches against Newcastle United, Bournemouth and Juve, United started the derby in dreadful fashion. It had barely mustered a pass, never mind an attempt on goal, by the time David Silva broke the deadlock 12 minutes in. The Red Devils had been pressed, passed through and punished accordingly, the midfield three of Nemanja Matic, Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera incapable of the kind of control in possession Pogba can provide.
Once again, it was a goal against the side that inspired some signs of life in Mourinho's men. They began to contain City with more comfort and the passing count slowly built; a little more composure from Martial could have brought about a chance to level. But as soon as David de Gea let Sergio Aguero's rasping drive through his hands, another comeback had slipped from their grasp.
It is difficult to level too much fresh criticism at Mourinho. With Pogba sidelined, Alexis Sanchez carrying a knock and every player presumably fatigued by the journey to and from northern Italy this week, his selection was almost made for him. There were more signs of spirit from United in the second half, especially given its opponent had scored 12 goals in its preceding two games and lost only one match since April. But the gulf in class between these teams remains as stark as last season and was never going to be bridged on Sunday, regardless of the result.
The problem is that Mourinho saw this coming and could do nothing to prevent it. He knew United would continue to start sluggishly until it was punished. He pinpointed the magnificent Silvas, David and Bernardo, as City's chief threats, but his man-markers could barely lay a finger on them. He was likely aware starting Marcus Rashford as a lone striker could see him far too isolated and he hauled him off after 72 ineffective minutes.
United's manager needs nobody to tell him the problems his side has, but he lacks either the tools or the tactics, or possibly both, to address them. It left them with too much to do to avoid losing the derby and dropping 12 points behind the league leader, and too much to consider itself anywhere near the title race.
United's season is already starting to look a disappointment. If that is to change drastically, new players are needed to implement Mourinho's methods, or the management needs replacing. With neither looking likely, it's not hard to predict more trouble ahead.

During the course of its general business activities, the Volkswagen Group is exposed to foreign currency, interest rate, commodity price, equity price and fund price risk. Corporate policy is to limit or eliminate such risk by means of hedging. Generally, all necessary hedging transactions with the exception of the Scania, MAN and Porsche Holding GmbH (Salzburg) subgroups are executed or coordinated centrally by Group Treasury.
Fair value hedges involve hedging against the risk of changes in the carrying amount of balance sheet items. As of the reporting date, both hedging instruments and hedged items are measured at fair value in relation to the hedged risk, and the resulting changes in value are recognized on a net basis in the corresponding income statement item. In the previous year, income from fair value hedges amounted to €7 million.
The table presents effects taken to equity, reduced by deferred taxes.
The gain or loss from changes in the fair value of hedging instruments used in hedge accounting corresponds to the basis for determining hedge ineffectiveness. The ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge is the income or expense resulting from changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument that exceed the changes in the fair value of the hedged item. This hedge ineffectiveness is attributable to parameter differences between the hedging instrument and the hedged item. Such income and expenses are recognized in other operating income/ expenses or in the financial result. In fiscal year 2017, ineffectiveness amounting to €−11 million was recognized in the income statement. The Volkswagen Group uses two different methods to present market risk from nonderivative and derivative financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 7. For quantitative risk measurement, interest rate and foreign currency risk in the Volkswagen Financial Services subgroup are measured using a value-at-risk (VaR) model on the basis of a historical simulation, while market risk in the other Group companies is determined using a sensitivity analysis. The value-at-risk calculation indicates the size of the maximum potential loss on the portfolio as a whole within a time horizon of 40 days, measured at a confidence level of 99 %. To provide the basis for this calculation, all cash flows from nonderivative and derivative financial instruments are aggregated into an interest rate gap analysis. The historical market data used in calculating value at risk covers a period of 1,000 trading days. The sensitivity analysis calculates the effect on equity and profit or loss by modifying risk variables within the respective market risks.
In addition, hedging instruments are entered into to hedge against the risk of fluctuations in future cash flows. The table below shows the notional amounts, fair values and base variables for determining the ineffectiveness of hedging instruments designated as cash flow value hedges.
The change in the fair value to determine ineffectiveness corresponds to the change in fair value of the designated component.
When accounting for cash flow hedges, the designated effective portions of a hedging relationship are recognized in OCI I. Any changes in excess of the fair value of the designated component are recognized as ineffectiveness through profit or loss.
If expectations about the occurrence of the hedged item change, the arrangement is reclassified by terminating the hedging relationship prematurely. Changed expectations are primarily caused by a change in projections for hedging sales revenue.
Changes in the fair values of non-designated components of a derivative are likewise always recognized immediately through profit or loss. An exception from this principle is any change in the fair value attributable to non-designated time values of options, to the extent that they relate to the hedged item. Moreover, the Volkswagen Group initially recognizes in equity (hedging costs) changes in the fair values of non-designated forward components in currency forwards and currency hedges attributed to cash flow hedges. This means that the Volkswagen Group recognizes changes in the fair value of the non-designated component or parts thereof immediately through profit or loss only if there is ineffectiveness.
Foreign currency risk in the Volkswagen Group (excluding Volkswagen Financial Services subgroup) is attributable to investments, financing measures and operating activities. Currency forwards, currency options, currency swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps are used to limit foreign currency risk. These transactions relate to the exchange rate hedging of all material payments covering general business activities that are not made in the functional currency of the respective Group companies. The principle of matching currencies applies to the Group's financing activities.
Hedging transactions entered into in 2018 as part of foreign currency risk management were amongst others in Argentine pesos, Australian dollars, Brazilian real, sterling, Chinese renminbi, Hong Kong dollars, Indian rupees, Japanese yen, Canadian dollars, Mexican pesos, Norwegian kroner, Polish zloty, Russian rubles, Swedish kronor, Swiss francs, Singapore dollars, South African rand, South Korean won, Taiwan dollars, Czech koruna, Hungarian forints and US dollars.
All nonfunctional currencies in which the Volkswagen Group enters into financial instruments are included as relevant risk variables in the sensitivity analysis in accordance with IFRS 7.
If the functional currencies concerned had appreciated or depreciated by 10 % against the other currencies, the exchange rates shown below would have resulted in the following effects on the hedging reserve in equity and on earnings after tax. It is not appropriate to add together the individual figures, since the results of the various functional currencies concerned are based on different scenarios.
Interest rate risk in the Volkswagen Group (excluding Volkswagen Financial Services subgroup) results from changes in market interest rates, primarily for medium- and long-term variable interest receivables and liabilities. Interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps are sometimes entered into to hedge against this risk primarily under fair value or cash flow hedges, and depending on market conditions. Intragroup financing arrangements are mainly structured to match the maturities of their refinancing. Departures from the Group standard are subject to centrally defined limits and monitored on an ongoing basis.
Interest rate risk within the meaning of IFRS 7 is calculated for these companies using sensitivity analyses. The effects of the risk-variable market rates of interest on the financial result and on equity are presented, net of tax.
If market interest rates had been 100 bps higher as of December 31, 2018, equity would have been €131 million (previous year: €88 million) lower. If market interest rates had been 100 bps lower as of December 31, 2018, equity would have been €66 million (previous year: €24 million) higher.
If market interest rates had been 100 bps higher as of December 31, 2018, earnings after tax would have been €24 million higher (previous year: €76 million lower). If market interest rates had been 100 bps lower as of December 31, 2018, earnings after tax would have been €26 million lower (previous year: €64 million higher).
Commodity price risk in the Volkswagen Group (excluding Volkswagen Financial Services subgroup) primarily results from price fluctuations and the availability of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, precious metals, commodities required in connection with the Group's digitalization and electrification strategy, as well as of coal, CO2 certificates and rubber.
Commodity price risk is limited by entering into forward transactions and swaps.
Commodity price risk within the meaning of IFRS 7 is presented using sensitivity analyses. These show the effect on earnings after tax of changes in the risk variable commodity prices.
If the commodity prices of the hedged nonferrous metals, coal and rubber had been 10 % higher (lower) as of December 31, 2018, earnings after tax would have been €197 million (previous year: €101 million) higher (lower).
The special funds launched using surplus liquidity and the equity interests measured at fair value are subject in particular to equity price and bond price risk, which can arise from fluctuations in quoted market prices, stock exchange indices and market rates of interest. The changes in bond prices resulting from variations in the market rates of interest are quantified in sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, as are the measurement of foreign currency and other interest rate risks arising from the special funds and the equity interests measured at fair value. As a rule, risks arising from the special funds are countered by ensuring a broad diversification of products, issuers and regional markets when investing funds, as stipulated by the Investment Guidelines of the Group. In addition, we hedge exchange rates when market conditions are appropriate.
As part of the presentation of market risk, IFRS 7 requires disclosures on how hypothetical changes in risk variables affect the price of financial instruments. Potential risk variables here are in particular quoted market prices or indices, as well as interest rate changes as bond price parameters.
If share prices had been 10 % higher as of December 31, 2018, earnings after tax would have been €16 million higher and equity would have been €4 million (previous year: €28 million effect on equity) higher. If share prices had been 10 % lower as of December 31, 2018, earnings after tax would have been €25 million lower and the equity €4 million (previous year: €108 million effect on equity) lower.
Exchange rate risk in the Volkswagen Financial Services subgroup is mainly attributable to assets that are not denominated in the functional currency and from refinancing within operating activities. Interest rate risk relates to refinancing without matching maturities and the varying interest rate elasticity of individual asset and liability items. The risks are limited by the use of currency and interest rate hedges.
Microhedges and portfolio hedges are used for interest rate hedging. Fixed-rate assets and liabilities included in the hedging strategy are recognized at fair value, as opposed to their original subsequent measurement at amortized cost. The resulting effects in the income statement are offset by the corresponding gains and losses on the interest rate hedging instruments (swaps). Currency hedges (currency forwards and cross-currency interest rate swaps) are used to mitigate foreign currency risk. All cash flows in foreign currency are hedged.
As of December 31, 2018, the value at risk was €122 million (previous year: €167 million) for interest rate risk and €187 million (previous year: €165 million) for foreign currency risk.
The entire value at risk for interest rate and foreign currency risk at the Volkswagen Financial Services subgroup was €214 million (previous year: €167 million).

Q: Sampling distribution, bias and variance of cross-validation methods (particularly LOOCV) (TL;DR version below) If my understanding is correct, bias/variance are measures of goodness of fit of a statistical estimator w.r.t. the sampling distribution. So if I have a statistic $t(X)$ that estimates a given population parameter $\theta$ with high variance, it means that for every sample $x$ drawn from the population, the estimate $t(x)$ will have high variance w.r.t. the true parameter $\theta$ in the sampling distribution.
Now I'm trying to think of how this applies to cross-validation techniques such as:

*

*Holdout

*Leave one out Cross Validation (LOOCV)

*K-fold Cross Validation (kCV)

My understanding is that these techniques are also meta-estimators where the population is the training set and the parameter to be estimated is the generalization error on the entire unseen portion of the data. What I do not understand, however, is how bias/variance of these estimators are measured. I guess for Holdout and kCV, the sampling distribution is going to comprise the different ways in which you can divide the dataset into partition(s). But what about LOOCV? The partitioning appears to be deterministic and yet many textbooks seem to suggest that this method exhibits high variance. I know that there are other answers that tackle this question (Bias and variance in leave-one-out vs K-fold cross validation), but I am trying to understand cross-validation as statistical estimators from a theoretical perspective.
TL;DR: What does the sampling distribution of cross-validation methods (especially LOOCV) look like and how can bias/variance be calculated?

In the first official purchase under CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber has acquired the electric bike-share company Jump for an undisclosed amount, rumored to be around $200m.
Currently operating in San Francisco and Washington, DC, Jump raised about $15m in funding prior to the acquisition, becoming the first in SF to receive a permit for dockless bikes.
The dockless bike world just got a lot more competitive
Dockless bikes, AKA a middle finger to the notion of putting things back where you found them, have quickly taken off in China and are expanding like crazy stateside.
Uber now has to contend with a few established competitors, like New York's Citi Bike program, which, according to Buzzfeed, saw its 50 millionth ride last year (Jump averages around 28k trips a month in places like San Francisco).
For Uber, it's about upping their point A to point B game
Dockless bikes have posed a threat to Uber when it comes to trips under 3 miles. Now, Uber is one step closer to realizing their golden vision of becoming a wall-to-wall (or should we say door-to-door) urban mobility platform.
Bikes, fine — but we're drawing the line at dockless scooters.

Q: How do you Implment fmt::Display for an array or slice of type T in Rust? How do I implement Display for [&MyStruct]?
I've implemented Display for MyStruct,
impl fmt::Display for MyStruct {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
        write!(f, ..., ...)
    }
}

This issue I'm running into is when I return a [&MyStruct], I can't print it,
11 |     println!("{}", sliceOfMyStructs);
   |                               ^^^^^^^^^ `[&MyStruct]` cannot be formatted with the default formatter
   |
   = help: the trait `std::fmt::Display` is not implemented for `[&MyStruct]`
   = note: in format strings you may be able to use `{:?}` (or {:#?} for pretty-print) instead
   = note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `std::fmt::Display` for `&[&MyStruct]`
   = note: required by `std::fmt::Display::fmt`

What I've ready tried is (MyStruct is defined in my crate),
17 | impl fmt::Display for [MyStruct] {
   | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ impl doesn't use types inside crate
   |
   = note: the impl does not reference only types defined in this crate
   = note: define and implement a trait or new type instead

The political strategies of Facebook and Twitter
In October, the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, announced political ads would no longer be permitted on the platform. In a series of tweets, Dorsey detailed the new policy along with the reasoning behind this sudden change. Even "hot button" topics that have been branded as political, such as climate change, are prohibited to be used in an advertisement on the platform. Strikingly, even ads spreading science-backed information are nevertheless not permitted under this system. It is not surprising that this controversial and broad policy has been met with backlash.
Lizz Winstead, the founder of Abortion Access Front, believes non-profits are hit hard by this new policy stating that Twitter has "killed our nonprofit's ability to pay for ads that promote our shows, rallies, and actions." When she tried to apply to be able to run ads, she was denied because her personal Twitter had profanity on it. The personal ban on political ads extends to any brand with any association with her. This leads to the ban spreading to Abortion Access Front, even though Twitter only took issue with her personal account.
Winstead also offers a unique perspective on how this policy is detrimental to non-profits. Ads can no longer target a specific zip-code, meaning that in the case of Abortion Access Front they cannot target people with limited access to abortion clinics and care facilities. Targeting certain communities can help those that lack education in certain political areas. However, Twitter's counter-argument is that regional targeting ads are often used to promote false information as well. Using data gathered through social media, ads can be targeted to fit your political bias. This makes the acceptance of information easier without the need to fact check.
The Twitter ban has been met with criticism from people such as Jessica Alter, founder of the self-proclaimed progressive group Tech For Campaign. Alter claims that this ban only helps those who "can pay for less cost-effective forms of media." Lesser-known candidates will have yet another hurdle to jump. They will no longer be able to break through the barriers of a new candidacy with a wide-reaching ad on a social media platform. Instead, they will have to resort to more expensive advertising such as through television or newspapers. Natasha Lomas, a reporter for the online newspaper TechCrunch, contrasted it with the no-fact check policy of Facebook. Lomas asserts that Facebook's policy is "blame-shifting," later saying that Twitter's and Facebook's policies are forms of "attention-manipulation." They both make broad and vague policies in order to get clicks to bring more people to their respective platforms.
Facebook will no longer fact-check political ads unless they can lead to harm, violence, or voter suppression. This means that political lies can be easily perpetrated on a mass scale as long as someone is fiscally capable of doing so. This can lead to a vast amount of misinformation spread on the platform relatively quickly.
Twitter and Facebook have taken to two opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to allowing political ads. But from the outside, it seems that the platforms are doing this for ease on themselves. Facebook no longer has to do research to fact-check certain ads and Twitter's ban prevents them from having to monitor ads. These social media platforms are going about the problem wrong. Both offer suppression of positive and educational information. Facebook can be overrun with unscientific data and false claims, while those on Twitter are less likely to see the information that can directly affect them.
Instead of attempting to take the easy way out, platforms should be helping to spread valuable information. Social-media allows for bite-sized pieces of information to be consumed quickly. The platforms are available to spread facts and knowledge, yet they are cowering for the sake of clicks and operating expenses. Yes, social media does have a great potential to be abused, but the positive impact of some political ads should not be minimized or abolished because of misuse.
