WHO and UNAIDS promoting circumcision to prevent HIV is misguided and will backfire
March 28th, 2007 by Dan Bollinger
ICGI denounces the recent WHO and UNAIDS calls for mass adult male circumcision in Africa. Circumcision is unnecessary, risky, and not cost-effective.
African men are being led to believe that, if they get circumcised, they are protected from HIV. Proponents are calling it a 'vaccine;' but it is not a vaccine and these men are being prompted to get circumcised under false pretenses.
"The century-old circumcision 'experiment' in the United States is a failure, why should sub-Saharan Africa be any different?" asks Dan Bollinger, director of ICGI. "We are deeply concerned about the long-term consequences of mass circumcision campaigns, from increasing infections and deaths, to human rights violations, and creating a false sense of immunity in African men. And even as adults are being targeted for genital cutting, it still remains an invalid justification to forcibly cut the genitals of infants and children."
Circumcision is not the panacea the world has been awaiting. The emphasis needs to stay on proven HIV deterrents—the basic tenets of the ABC campaign. Shifting emphasis from proven HIV-reduction programs, such as abstinence and condoms, to risky and unsafe surgeries could ultimately endanger the lives of millions of African men and their partners.
Bollinger says, "Whether circumcised or not, individuals engaging in high-risk behaviors are still at risk. The new genital-cutting campaign sends a dangerous message of false protection to Africans. Scientists also report that female circumcision reduces HIV transmission; are WHO and UNAIDS going to promote female genital cutting, too?"
There is significant risk of HIV transmission by the operation itself through the use of contaminated instruments and unsterile conditions according to researchers Deuchert (Annals of Epidemiology, 2007) and Gisselquist (Int'l Journal of STD and AIDS, 2003). Mass circumcision campaigns cannot be carried out with the same aseptic conditions of the scientific experiments, education programs, and emphasis on condom use. And a 2007 study by Brewer published in 'Annals of Epidemiology' says circumcised men are three times as likely to transmit HIV to their partners.
Some areas of Africa have high rates of circumcision and HIV infection. As the African studies confirmed, circumcised men still get AIDS. In comparison, three-fourths of adult males are circumcised in the United States, which has a higher HIV-infection rate than its non-circumcised European counterparts.
A newly published study by Sorrells, "Fine-touch pressure thresholds in the adult penis" (British Journal of Urology Int'l, 2007), shows that circumcision significantly decreases penile sensitivity, not only raising serious human rights concerns but also a genuine concern that circumcised men, with one-fourth the penile sensitivity as intact men, might not wear condoms, which further desensitize the penis.
If such circumcision programs are to be funded at the expense of other programs, such as the "zero grazing" campaign in Uganda, the result will be an even greater increase in the rate of HIV/AIDS transmission.
Until vaccines are available, the emphasis needs to stay on proven, safe, and cost-effective methods of HIV prevention.

Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) allow direct control over technology using brain activity alone.
Neuroscience has always fascinated me, which is why on my 2nd year as an undergrad Electrical Engineering student I started working as a research assistant at the Computational Psychiatry Lab at Ben Gurion University.
Finding this intersection of engineering and brain research was great. Building interfaces for 'mind control' over technology seemed like science fiction, this is also where I was first exposed to Machine Learning, which is the bread and butter of brain computer interfaces.
My first BCI (that actually worked) was a result of a project I worked on during the Braininhack hackathon in Tel-Aviv, hosted by Microsoft and Autodesk and organized by Israel Brain Technologies (IBT). I used MATLAB and Simulink to design an interface that samples, processes and decodes brain signals in real-time.
Using the interface I built, and a g.HIamp EEG set, we showed how we can control the movements of a Lego Mindstorm robot built by my supervisor's son.
The user controlled the movement of the robot using a BCI technique known as Motor Imagery, where imagination of hand movements generates detectable patterns in brain activity over the motor cortex. Brain activity was recorded by the EEG, which was sampled, processed and classified by my interface. Classification results were broadcasted by Wi-Fi to the Lego robot which steered left or right accordingly.
I believe appearance is better than words, so here's a video of my team member Shaked navigating the robot using the power of her mind!
Following 2 days of developement, Our project won 3rd place in the hackathon (article on Geektime magazine).
Our project was received with great interest by the university. We were invited to give live demos to distinguished guests and donors of BGU. Including foreign politicians, representatives of global companies such as Tata, Samsung, Huawei, Bosch and more.
We were also invited by national news on channel 10, to participate in a piece about BCI. Click to watch.
As the project led to deeper research, we presented our BCI at the international IBT conference (2017). We gave a workshop titled 'Hands-on introduction to Brain Computer Interface' together with Christoph Guger, owner at g.tec Neurotechnology.
As time went by, what started as a hackathon project led to serious research in the field of brain computer interfaces and deep learning. I started investigating new directions for BCI, both in algorithmic research and practical design.
In my M.Sc thesis I studied the use of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) for BCI design, specifically using Echo State Networks (ESN). We showed that RNNs, which are capable of dealing with the dynamical nature of brain activity, can improve Motor Imagery (MI) BCI accuracy. We submitted two journal papers which are currently under review.
In the summer of 2016 my thesis supervisor Dr. Oren Shriki and I founded a start-up company called Cerebro. We developed a BCI based controller for Virtual Reality (VR) platforms. We worked on this project for a full year.

Ontario is not a "Universal Jurisdiction" under the Ontario Securities Act: Leave to the SCC denied in Yip v. HSBC Holdings
On March 28, 2019, the Supreme Court of Canada denied leave to appeal in Yip v. HSBC Holdings plc, 2019 CanLII 23866, leaving standing the Ontario Court of Appeal's decision in Yip v. HSBC Holdings plc, 2018 ONCA 626, affirming Yip v. HSBC Holdings plc, 2017 ONSC 5332.
The case serves as an important precedent for future securities class actions, in addition to cross-border claims against financial services defendants and other cases where plaintiffs seek to ground jurisdiction over foreign entities based on their ownership of, and involvement with, Canadian subsidiaries.
This was a proposed secondary market securities class action against HSBC Holdings plc ("Holdings") and its former Head of Group Compliance alleging misrepresentations in public disclosure. Holdings has no offices, assets, or employees in Canada. Its shares have never traded on any Canadian exchange, and it has never been a reporting issuer in any Canadian jurisdiction. The representative plaintiff, Mr. Yip, resides in Markham and used his home computer to purchase HSBC Holdings common shares using Hong Kong dollars and through an online Hong Kong brokerage account.
Holdings successfully brought a preliminary motion to challenge the action on jurisdictional and forum non conveniens grounds.
The Court of Appeal affirmed the lower court decision that the Ontario court lacked jurisdiction simpliciter over both defendants, and that Ontario was forum non conveniens, given that the U.K. and Hong Kong were more appropriate locations to hear the claim.
Canada is Not a Universal Jurisdiction - Secondary Market Claims
The Plaintiff's theory was that Ontario Securities Act creates a statutory cause of action for secondary market misrepresentations by a "responsible issuer", because this term refers not just to reporting issuers (which Holdings is not), but also to any other issuer with a real and substantial connection to Ontario, any securities of which are publicly traded. This, by his own admission, would have made Ontario a universal jurisdiction for secondary market misrepresentations made anywhere in the world.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the Plaintiff's theory that the Ontario Securities Act creates a statutory cause of action for secondary market misrepresentations by any issuer with a real and substantial connection to Ontario with securities which are publicly traded and made it clear that the Act should not be used to create "universal jurisdiction" in Ontario. The Ontario Court of Appeal rejected the argument that Holdings was carrying on business in Ontario directly or indirectly through its indirect subsidiary. The simple fact that the plaintiff downloaded Holdings' materials here, or that Holdings materials were available on HSBC Canada's website, did not point to any real relationship between the subject matter of the litigation and the province.
Comity is a Key Consideration in the Forum Non Conveniens Analysis
The Court of Appeal also held that comity is a "key consideration", such that "the more appropriate forum for secondary market claims will often favour the forum of the exchange(s) where the securities trade" and declined to give decisive weight to the various legal and practical differences between litigating his case in Canada and in other jurisdictions, including the availability of class remedies and the financing of such litigation, emphasized by the Plaintiff.
While the Court of Appeal did not elevate the comity analysis to a mandatory rule, it did recognize its importance in confirming that the more appropriate forum for secondary market claims will "often favour the forum of the exchange(s) where the securities trade." It held the plaintiff's juridical advantage of being able to assert a class action in Ontario was not an "inviolable right", and agreed with Justice Perell that the U.K. or Hong Kong was a more appropriate forum. In so doing, the Court of Appeal aligned Canada with the prevailing international norm that securities litigation should be pursued in the jurisdiction where the securities at issue were traded or where the issuer defendant is resident.
Implications for Future Class Actions
While a cause of action under the Ontario Securities Act remains available where the issuer's connection to Ontario can be shown to be real and substantial,[1] this case should assist in preventing claims where there is only a peripheral connection to the jurisdiction and in underscoring the importance of comity in the forum non conveniens analysis.
In a time of technological change in the investment space which makes it possible for investors in Canada to easily invest in markets around the world, this case makes clear that, even in these changing times, the well-established rules of jurisdiction and forum non conveniens still apply.
Disclaimer: Brandon Kain and Charlotte-Anne Malischewski of McCarthy Tétrault LLP acted for the Defendants in this case.
[1] This is different from the Supreme Court of the United States ruling that the securities legislation can only have an extraterritorial application where that is explicitly provided for in the language of the statute

Friday October 4 @ 8:00 pm – at the Sutter Creek Theatre
Wood & Wire's 2018 GRAMMY Nominated album for "Best Bluegrass", North of Despair ( Blue Corn Music), is populated with songs by people like songwriter Tony Kamel's own grandfather, who built the family's hunting lodge in Llano, Texas with his own two hands. The characters on the album live large, and aren't afraid to share their opinions about the modern world. This kind of vivid, haunting songwriting focused on lives spent deep in the countryside is a hallmark of Texas songwriting. But it's the melding of this hard country songwriting with high-octane bluegrass instrumentation that makes for Wood & Wire's signature sound. Artists like John Hartford have trod this ground before, mixing up great songs, bluegrass virtuosity, and a strong sense of place, and Wood & Wire aim to pave the way for Austin's roots scene, bursting out of the giant expanses of the state with a fully-fledged vision for a new Texan sound. On North of Despair, they bring the ferocity of their live shows to the studio, whipping through barn-burning anthems about hard people in hard times.

Samuel L. Jackson stars as the titular character in M. Night Shyamalan's Glass.
In 2000, when writer-director M. Night Shyamalan released Unbreakable, comic book movies weren't a sure thing: Iron Man was still eight years away, and the larger-universe model that the X-Men franchise hinted at had yet to be fully realized. So even though he'd made a movie with strong comic book themes, no one wanted him to emphasize that point.
As turned out, Unbreakable faltered when it was released. Despite starring both Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, it garnered about a third of the box office take of Shyamalan's knockout studio debut, The Sixth Sense. "It was disheartening," Shyamalan said. But over the years, as hero narratives ascended, it found its fans. And Shyamalan never forgot about it. Years later, he took a character—Crumb—that he'd discarded from the Unbreakable script and turned him into a character, one that would be played by a guy he met at Comic-Con.
That movie became Split, a film about a man struggling with the 23 personalities in him. Made for $9 million, it went on to make $138 million at the US box office—and contained just the slightest hint that it was connected to the story Unbreakable had started 16 years before. Moviegoing audiences, and the rest of the world, had finally caught up with Shyamalan and all those people who go to conventions.
And on Friday, the writer-director for the first time showed footage of Glass, the completion of the trilogy that started with Unbreakable—and a reunion of sorts that brings together Samuel L. Jackson (Elijah Price/Mr. Glass), Bruce Willis (David Dunn), and all the various characters embodied by McAvoy in Split. (He has 21 in the current edit, Shyamalan said.) Glass's conceit, per the trailer released Friday, is that the three men have all come under the care of Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson). What will then happen to them, and how they'll affect each other, remains to be seen. (Though has any director ever hired American Horror Story alum Sarah Paulson for a genre film and asked her to keep it light?) What is known is that it's the culmination of the work of a director who finally got to find his audience.

As the Eid delight of Salman Khan paves its way towards the 200 Cr mark, we give you 10 reasons why this one is a must watch for all the people who love The Bhai as well as others.
1. Harshaali Malhotra: First and foremost the child actress, this little wonder is the life and soul of the movie. She has taken it to a whole new level. She is not our regular cute film child who everyone empathises with; she is way more than that. She is the best child character I have ever seen in a movie. Playing a mute character, her display of emotions will move you and wrench your heart.
2. Salman Khan: For a beautiful change, he is not just standing, making girls woo her and beating up goons in an unrealistic way, he has put in efforts for this movie, has went inside the skin of his character and has provided us with such a positive, lovable character as of his.
3. Nawazuddin Siddiqui: The guy with the golden touch, he has again struck just the right chord with his remarkable performance and superb dialogue delivery. He picks up the ante and makes the ride even fun. His role is small but immensely affective.
4. Kabir Khan: 'Kabul Express', 'New York' and 'Ek Tha Tiger' director and dialogue writer, this guy has perfected himself in so many ways. Directing Salman Khan in such an amazing way takes much toil and hard work. He has played beautifully with the emotions of the viewer and has garnered the script with some hard hitting and wise dialogues.
5. Cinematography: Right from the beginning credits you are lost into the picturesque beauty of the locations. Aseem Mishra's work is commendable. Camera work is fabulous and the land is shown in a marvellous way.
6. Background Score: Julius Packiam provides us with the right kind of music at just the right time. Judicial use of the songs 'Tu jo mila' sung by KK and Javed Ali and 'Zindagi' by Jubin Nautiyal is remarkable. Music is a bit funny though but the story makes up for it. 'Bhar Do Jholi' is the best from the lot by Pritam.
7.Supporting Cast: Kareena Kapoor, Sharat Saxena, Alka Kaushal, Anuj Shrivastava and Meher Vij and others are all together a treat to watch and they make the story as enjoyable as it can get. To top it all, Om Puri is in special appearance. Quite a win-win here.
8. Extremely Emotional: There was not a single eye which was not wet during the whole second half. The director, along with the strong acting by the cast, has made us cry a lot of times and kudos to them for that. It just makes every character so much close to the heart. Completely awe-struck.
9. Pakistan: Our neighbouring country has been displayed in a very positive light and there are no overtly racial dialogues. The locations as well as the people are displayed with genuine believable positivity and that is the prettiest part about it.
10. The Superlatives: Salman Khan giving his best performance since Wanted and making us all weep and laugh and most importantly make us learn the importance of humanity and pure heartedness. The story is the stellar part about the flick and with the kind of peaceful message it is spreading, is sure is a must watch. Salman Khan and Kabir Khan at their best..! Don't miss it at all.

Copyright is a legal right, existing in many countries, that grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights to determine whether, and under what conditions, this original work may be used by others. This is usually only for a limited time. Copyright is one of two types of intellectual property rights, the other is industrial property rights. The exclusive rights are not absolute but limited by limitations and exceptions to copyright law, including fair use. A major limitation on copyright on ideas is that copyright protects only the original expression of ideas, and not the underlying ideas themselves.
Copyright is applicable to certain forms of creative work. Some, but not all jurisdictions require "fixing" copyrighted works in a tangible form. It is often shared among multiple authors, each of whom holds a set of rights to use or license the work, and who are commonly referred to as rights holders. These rights frequently include reproduction, control over derivative works, distribution, public performance, and moral rights such as attribution.
Copyrights can be granted by public law and are in that case considered "territorial rights". This means that copyrights granted by the law of a certain state, do not extend beyond the territory of that specific jurisdiction. Copyrights of this type vary by country; many countries, and sometimes a large group of countries, have made agreements with other countries on procedures applicable when works "cross" national borders or national rights are inconsistent. Typically, the public law duration of a copyright expires 50 to 100 years after the creator dies, depending on the jurisdiction. Some countries require certain copyright formalities to establishing copyright, others recognize copyright in any completed work, without formal registration. Generally, copyright is enforced as a civil matter, though some jurisdictions do apply criminal sanctions.
Most jurisdictions recognize copyright limitations, allowing "fair" exceptions to the creator's exclusivity of copyright and giving users certain rights. The development of digital media and computer network technologies have prompted reinterpretation of these exceptions, introduced new difficulties in enforcing copyright, and inspired additional challenges to the philosophical basis of copyright law. businesses with great economic dependence upon copyright, such as those in the music business, have advocated the extension and expansion of copyright and sought additional legal and technological enforcement.
Copyright came about with the invention of the printing press and with wider literacy. As a legal concept, its origins in Britain were from a reaction to printers' monopolies at the beginning of the 18th century. The English Parliament was concerned about the unregulated copying of books and passed the Licensing of the Press Act 1662, which established a register of licensed books and required a copy to be deposited with the Stationers' Company, essentially continuing the licensing of material that had long been in effect.
Copyright laws allow products of creative human activities, such as literary and artistic production, to be preferentially exploited and thus incentivized. Different cultural attitudes, social organizations, economic models and legal frameworks are seen to account for why copyright emerged in Europe and not, for example, in Asia. In the Middle Ages in Europe, there was generally a lack of any concept of literary property due to the general relations of production, the specific organization of literary production and the role of culture in society. The latter refers to the tendency of oral societies, such as that of Europe in the medieval period, to view knowledge as the product and expression of the collective, rather than to see it as individual property. However, with copyright laws, intellectual production comes to be seen as a product of an individual, with attendant rights. The most significant point is that patent and copyright laws support the expansion of the range of creative human activities that can be commodified. This parallels the ways in which capitalism led to the commodification of many aspects of social life that earlier had no monetary or economic value per se. Copyright has grown from a legal concept regulating copying rights in the publishing of books and maps to one with a significant effect on nearly every modern industry, covering such items as sound recordings, films, photographs, software, and architectural works.
The first copyright law, was the 1709 British Statute of Anne gave the publishers rights for a fixed period, after which the copyright expired. The act also alluded to individual rights of the artist. It began, "Whereas Printers, Booksellers, and other Persons, have of late frequently taken the Liberty of Printing … Books, and other Writings, without the Consent of the Authors … to their very great Detriment, and too often to the Ruin of them and their Families:". A right to benefit financially from the work is articulated, and court rulings and legislation have recognized a right to control the work, such as ensuring that the integrity of it is preserved. An irrevocable right to be recognized as the work's creator appears in some countries' copyright laws.
The Copyright Clause of the United States, Constitution (1787) authorized copyright legislation: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." That is, by guaranteeing them a period of time in which they alone could profit from their works, they would be enabled and encouraged to invest the time required to create them, and this would be good for society as a whole. A right to profit from the work has been the philosophical underpinning for much legislation extending the duration of copyright, to the life of the creator and beyond, to their heirs.
The original length of copyright in the United States was 14 years, and it had to be explicitly applied for. If the author wished, they could apply for a second 14‑year monopoly grant, but after that the work entered the public domain, so it could be used and built upon by others. Copyright law was enacted rather late in German states, and the historian Eckhard Höffner argues that the absence of copyright laws in the early 19th century encouraged publishing, was profitable for authors, led to a proliferation of books, enhanced knowledge, and was ultimately an important factor in the ascendency of Germany as a power during that century.
The first International Copyright laws were created when The 1886 Berne Convention first established recognition of copyrights among sovereign nations, rather than merely bilaterally. Under the Berne Convention, copyrights for creative works do not have to be asserted or declared, as they are automatically in force at creation: an author need not "register" or "apply for" a copyright in countries adhering to the Berne Convention. As soon as a work is "fixed", that is, written or recorded on some physical medium, its author is automatically entitled to all copyrights in the work, and to any derivative works unless and until the author explicitly disclaims them, or until the copyright expires. The Berne Convention also resulted in foreign authors being treated equivalently to domestic authors, in any country signed onto the Convention. The UK signed the Berne Convention in 1887 but did not implement large parts of it until 100 years later with the passage of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Specially, for educational and scientific research purposes, the Berne Convention provides the developing countries issue compulsory licenses for the translation or reproduction of copyrighted works within the limits prescribed by the Convention. This was a special provision that had been added at the time of 1971 revision of the Convention, because of the strong demands of the developing countries. The United States did not sign the Berne Convention until 1989.
The United States and most Latin American countries instead entered into the Buenos Aires Convention in 1910, which required a copyright notice on the work (such as all rights reserved), and permitted signatory nations to limit the duration of copyrights to shorter and renewable terms. The Universal Copyright Convention was drafted in 1952 as another less demanding alternative to the Berne Convention, and ratified by nations such as the Soviet Union and developing nations. The regulations of the Berne Convention are incorporated into the World Trade Organization's TRIPS agreement (1995), thus giving the Berne Convention effectively near-global application.
In 1961, the United International Bureaux for the Protection of Intellectual Property signed the Rome Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations. In 1996, this organization was succeeded by the founding of the World Intellectual Property Organization, which launched the 1996 WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty and the 2002 WIPO Copyright Treaty, which introduced greater restrictions on the use of technology to copy works in the nations that ratified it. The Trans-Pacific Partnership includes intellectual Property Provisions relating to copyright. Copyright laws are standardized somewhat through international conventions such as the Berne Convention and Universal Copyright Convention. These multilateral treaties have been ratified by nearly all countries, and international organizations such as the European Union or World Trade Organization require their member states to comply with them.


The LG G8 ThinQ is expected to launch at MWC 2019.
That would put the G series back on track after the LG G7 ThinQ's delayed launch in 2018.
Renders purporting to show the G8's design have been refuted by LG.
At present, the answer to all this depends on who you believe — LG's head of global PR Ken Hong or respected leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer a.k.a. OnLeaks and a few anecdotal comments from members of the tech press.
It's impossible to tell who is in the right at this stage, although it's worth noting there are a few inconsistencies when comparing the renders with other rumors coming out of South Korea.
The phone in the renders sports a wide notch, just like the G7 ThinQ, however it's been speculated that the G8 ThinQ will feature a waterdrop-style notch like the OnePlus 6T. The pictured device also only has a dual-lens rear camera, but the G8 is rumored to carry a triple-lens shooter.
There are some things we hope do make it over from OnLeaks' renders — the returning dedicated Google Assistant button and the 3.5mm headphone jack chief among them — but otherwise we've got our fingers crossed that LG has a fresher design template up its sleeve.
The G8 is also rumored to sport a triple-lens camera and feature Sound on Display audio tech.
Even if it does pack the 5G-ready Snapdragon 855, the G8 won't be compatible with fifth generation mobile networks. That honor will instead go to LG's 5G phone that it plans to launch in partnership with Sprint in the U.S in Q1 2019.
While the disputed renders noted in the last section would beg to differ, there are also rumors the LG G8 ThinQ will have a triple-lens rear camera with 3D capabilities for advanced augmented reality features. Here's hoping LG has improved on the LG V40 ThinQ's lackluster triple camera.
Could the LG G8 ThinQ go up to $850?
Samsung's cheapest S10 smartphone is expected to retail at around $850, so it's certainly not out of the question that LG would aim for a similar price point. The V40 ThinQ hit the market at upwards of $900, so it'd still technically be the cheaper option if you want a recent LG flagship.

After 6 months of working an (awesome) full-time job in addition to running my business, I'm excited to be back at my business full-time. And a little relieved--I feel like I've just been through boot camp! But what any good boot camp does is prepare you for top performance in your field.
As I've transitioned back into working just from home, I've noticed that I'm working much differently than before my boot camp. And being the productivity junkie enthusiast that I am, I just had to share my discoveries (so wanted to make a biceps metaphor here) with you.
Old way: Wake up at 6 am, immediately hop on the computer, work until 9 pm with few breaks.
New way: Wake up at 6 am, write some morning pages, have breakfast and get ready, and do whatever I want until 9 am. End work at 5 pm.
Boot camp benefit: With the old way, I never felt like I was done working. With no defined workday, I always felt like I should be doing more. Now I have a set schedule, making room for being a person, and can stop working at a reasonable hour knowing I've done a full day's work. I can always work more if I want to, but I have a sense of completeness at 5 pm.
Old way: 2 pm on a Tuesday: check the fridge, need bread. If I don't have an appointment, go get bread. 2:30 pm, Mom calls. Answer the phone and talk for 15 minutes.
New way: No bread? Write it down and go to the store after work. Mom calls during the work day? She can leave a message.
Boot camp benefit: I used to interrupt my workday frequently with personal tasks and errands that a good boss would never let me get away with. "But Laura, one of the great things about working from home is the flexibility!" I know, I know. But that flexibility wasn't working for me.
Old way: Wake up at 6 am, check my email, do some social media, do some work. 10 am: realize it's 10 am and that I'm still in my pjs and haven't eaten. I've gotten some work done, some messing around done, but I feel kinda gross and out of it.
New way: At 9 am, I'm in my office, ready for the day, and do a quick routine which includes: feeding my 2 pet bunnies (they live in my office), opening the blinds, and lighting a candle.
Boot camp benefit: I feel ready and like a pro. I'm focused, and my little ritual triggers a "game on" response. "But Laura, one of the great things about working from home is that you can be in your pajamas!" I know, I know. Again, wasn't working for me.
Old way: Work all the time, everyday, not sure what day of the week it is. Have faint memory of a mythical day called Friday, but never experience it.
New way: Work M-F, 9-5. Treat a weekend like a weekend. Create as Folk is pretty much a one-woman band, and I love what I do, so sometimes I might need or want to work. I still treat it like a weekend. Pajamas? Ok. Work from the couch? Ok. Watch new pilots on Hulu at 11 am? Ok. I take away all the structure from the workweek so I can relax a bit, but still get stuff done.
Boot camp benefit: I get to have a Friday! And down time. And be a person.
This article might be more aptly named, "How To Make Working From Home Work For Laura Simms." While I think you'll find some helpful info here, you still have to find what will work for you. Be honest, evaluate often, challenge your assumptions, and keep asking, "Is this really working for me?"
1. What are your tips for making working from home work for you?
2. What about working from home do you struggle with?

Paweł Gużyński, né le  est un prêtre, prédicateur et liturgiste dominicain polonais.

Biographie
Originaire de Toruń, il a un diplôme de technicien en construction de routes et de ponts. Dans sa jeunesse, il  joue au football au club Elana Toruń pendant 12 ans. En 1988, il adhère au mouvement . Il distribue des tracts et des publications clandestines. Le , il est arrêté par le service de sécurité pour avoir diffusé des publications illégales avant d'être libéré et condamné à une amende. Il refuse le service militaire de remplacement dans les conditions proposées par les autorités.

Il est aumônier universitaire à Poznań et à Rzeszów puis prieur du monastère dominicain de Łódź (2012-2015). Il est connu notamment pour avoir dirigé le programme Rozmównica sur la station de télévision . Il collabore à  avec le vlog Mimochodem et a un blog sur NaTemat.pl.

Certaines de ses déclarations médiatiques suscitent des controverses, en particulier celles dans lesquelles il critique vivement certains évêques, l'épiscopat polonais ou d'autres prêtres, et les liens trop étroits entre l'Église et la politique. En 2017, le provincial des dominicains, le père , constitue une commission spéciale pour examiner les déclarations du religieux. En , le père Gużyński doit quitter la Pologne pour prendre un poste dans un établissement de formation de son ordre à Rotterdam aux Pays-Bas.

En 2016, il reçoit la Croix de la liberté et de la solidarité.

Really digging this mate, solid stuff. Mix down sounds good, just need to bring out those pads a bit more. Could be something as simple as a warm compressor like the CLA-76 or some simple chorus to give it some more space and stereo imaging.
And for that off hat, instead of something that's very "clanky" maybe try something it a bit more "sheen" like a soft, short ride for example? Would give it a bit more air and bounce as well I think.
But overall one of the better tracks I've heard on here in a long time. Keep at it mate, you have something special going on.
Thanks man! Appreciate the feedback as always. I actually did use a warm compressor on it, and in the wav version of the song it sounds decent. I think either through the conversion to mp3 or uploading it to soundcloud made it lose its wide, analog sound. Like the bass sounds extremely digital, one thing I hate about soundcloud.
I don't know much about deep house, but I think the synths (melodic stuff) can be a bit harder? Just a tiny bit?
I like it and would play it in one of my sets.
+1 for all this. Proper ketamine house. Really like it.
Lets keep the insults out please.

The Lovecraft e-zine Podcast Interview, with book list/links
Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of being interviewed on The Lovecraft e-zine Podcast, which is one of my favorite weekly podcasts. Thanks to Mike Davis, Pete Rawlik, Phil Fracassi, Matt Carpenter, and Kelly Young for their hospitality and good conversation. If you'd like, you can listen to the broadcast here.
During the show, in conjunction with discussing my recent reviewing for Locus magazine, I mentioned a number of books that are well worth a look. Some of them appeared this past year, some are a bit older. I thought it would be a good idea to post links to them here. If you have a little disposable income, and want to read excellent novels and stories, you might want to check out a few (or all) of these.
Looming Low, eds. Sam Cowan and Justin Steele: This struck me as one of the major anthologies of 2017. It brings together a number of up and coming writers of weird fiction with more established writers in the field, and in the process offers fresh insights into the relationships between their work. (Pair it with Joe Pulver's Walk on the Weird Side, and you have a nice overview of the state of the field.)
UBO, by Steven Rasnic Tem: Tem is one of the legends of the horror field, and his latest novel demonstrates why. It's an alien abduction story, of a kind, in which monstrous insects spirit people from their beds to a strange planet where they're strapped to strange machinery that drops them into the consciousnesses of some of (human) history's greatest villains. Nothing else I read last year compared to it in terms of sheer weirdness and sheer humanity. (I also mentioned Tem's collaboration with his late wife, Melanie, The Man on the Ceiling, which is one of my absolute favorite horror novels of the last decade plus.)
My reviews of S.P. Miskowski's I Wish I Was Like You and Gwendolyn Kiste's Pretty Marys All In a Row were posted at the Locus website, but I also wanted to recognize their recent collections, Strange is the Night and And Her Smile Will Untether the Universe, respectively. Kristi DeMeester had a two book year, as well, with her debut novel, Beneath, and collection, Everything That's Underneath, establishing her as a strong voice in horror fiction. Nadia Bulkin's She Said Destroy is a welcome collection of her searing stories; while Philip Fracassi's Behold the Void contains one of my favorite recent horror stories, the novella, "Altar."
Finally, during our conversation, I had a chance to mention the work of Thomas Tessier, whose werewolf novel, The Nightwalker, remains a favorite decades after I first came across it in a used bookstore after literally years of searching for it (based on Stephen King's recommendation in Danse Macabre). It may be the horror novel I've re-read the most; certainly, it's among the top three or four. Slender and elegant, Tessier's novels are overdue a revival. If you like The Nightwalker, take a look at Finishing Touches or Phantom.

Boskone 55 Schedule
The weekend of February 16-18, I'll be heading up to Boston to take part in Boskone 55. I've been attending Boskone for I can't remember how many years now. It provides me a welcome opportunity to see a number of my friends, and engage in some fine conversation. If you're free that weekend, I recommend stopping by for some or all of the convention. If you do, please say hello.

Frankenstein 200 Years Later
Format: Panel
17 Feb 2018, Saturday 17:00 – 18:00, Marina 4 (Westin)
It's still alive! In 1818, Mary Shelley stitched together a bone-chilling tale of dread and science, and created a monster — whose humanity cut as deeply as Dr. Frankenstein's knife. This Promethean fiction has inspired authors, fans, and scientists ever since. (Though is it better remembered than read?) What challenges did Shelley face in bringing her story to print? What would she think of her effect on literature over the last two centuries? After all these years, let's find out what makes this tale tick.

Neil Gaiman Anniversary Reads
18 Feb 2018, Sunday 13:00 – 14:00, Harbor II (Westin)
It's a notable year for Neil Gaiman, with publication anniversaries for his engaging, ironic dark fantasies The Graveyard Book (10th) and The Ocean at the End of the Lane (5th) — plus from his lighter side, Don't Panic: The Official Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Companion (30th). Let's gab about his novels and stories, comics and characters, movies and TV adaptations and rock-star aura.

Man, what a year 2017 was. Talk about a mix of the good and bad (or the wonderful and the dreadful): while my personal and family life featured a number of highlights, the national political scene swung into something so bad it's become a parody of itself–which in no way mitigates the harm it's doing and has done. In the past, I've tried to use social media as a way to keep in touch with friends and family and to share news relevant to my writing life; this year, however, I found myself speaking out more than I ever have about socio-political conditions in the country. I expect that will continue in 2018. Oh, and the whole finding-out-I'm-diabetic thing was less than a thrill.
Yet there were good things this past year, and I don't want to overlook them. My wife is the joy of my life, as are my sons and grandchildren. We took a ridiculous fifth dog into our household. I had the pleasure of being room-Dad for David's AC/DC rehearsals at The Rock Academy, and then watching him and his fellow cast members dazzle their audiences. I continued to study Tang Soo Do, and went a good part of the way towards learning the new forms necessary for me to advance to my next rank. I also taught a good deal at the school's Saugerties studio, which I found both rewarding and challenging. As the year came to an end, I was reminded how much I love my friends Laird Barron and Paul Tremblay–seriously, these guys are the best. I attended my first Necon with Laird and had one of the best conventions I've ever had. The Fisherman won an astonishing two awards, a Bram Stoker Award and a This is Horror award. House of Windows was re-released in a snazzy new edition by Diversion Press. I wrote and had accepted for publication a number of stories, and am on the verge on completing my egregiously overdue third collection, Sefira and Other Betrayals. I finally read Peter Straub's brilliant The Skylark (not to mention, his astonishing novella, The Process [is a Process of its Own]). David and I saw a lot of the movies you'd expect (Wonder Woman, Justice League, Spider-man, Star Wars) and went to a number of the Rock Academy's other shows (including their fabulous punk and metal shows).
As the New Year wheels forward, I'm back writing, because that's what I do. I hope the months to come bring you and yours something good.
Here's a picture of a happy dog, because why not?

After having created the "Create step-by-step a simple pattern-type with SmartCloud Application Workload Services" article, I challenged myself to create a Master-Slave pattern-type. The main difference consist of creating a link between both servers from the Master to the Slave, and retrieve some information from the Slave (ie: IP address) to configure the Master.
I would like to stress the difference between pattern-type and pattern. A pattern-type provides all components, links, scalability rules… to build a pattern. The best example is the pattern-type for Web-Application (see demo) which provides Enterprise Application, Database components and scalability rules to design your own pattern which you will be able to deploy multiple time. So in this article we show how to create a pattern-type which requires more effort than create a pattern based on a pattern-type. ISV and/or company with home made application which not fit one of the existing pattern-type would be interested in this as pattern-type allows to put all the infrastructure intelligence in the pattern-type in order to deliver the best pattern for your customer.
Don't forget also that next to virtual application pattern with their pattern-type you have to capability to create virutal system pattern, which allows you to deploy topology with your own images and scripts.
I will not focus more on the creation of the two components are it was already explained in the part 1 of this serie. One of the component will be the Master and the other Slave. Let's focus on the link between the Master and Slave.
The last the element has been added in to appmodel, his type is 'link' and it specifies a source and a target. The source is the Master element and the target the Slave element.
## Link templates render the depends objects to be added to the source role.
## sourceRole is required to locate the source of the link.  Value is the type of the source role.
## String argument is the type of the target role.
2) The type must be the type of the target element.
The OSGI directory must be updated too with a new file specifying to velocity to transform this new physical model.
All these scripts will run in a certain order, please refer to IWD User Guide for more information.
The 'changed.py' scripts will run on the Master node and use the IP address of the Slave. How this is done?
This will copy the Slave IP address into the maestro environment of the current role.
This will read the value of the 'Slave_IP' attribute in the first dependend role of the Master vm-templates. The dependend role is automatically added to the Master vm-template at run-time.
After deploying this new pattern-type in my environment, I can run the test.
You can see we have a message 'Configure MasterSlaveLink with SlaveIP=170.225.184.208′.
It is quite easy to create a link between two component if we respect the naming convention.

The Legendary Mary Tyler Moore Has Passed Away
Posted on Wednesday, January 25th, 2017 by Jacob Hall
Mary Tyler Moore, the Emmy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated star of The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Ordinary People, has passed away at the age of 80. Moore belongs on the short list of performers whose impact on popular culture simply cannot be measured. For her, there is simply a "before Mary Tyler Moore" and an "after Mary Tyler Moore."
Born in New York City in 1936 and raised in Los Angeles, California, Moore entered show business at the age of 17, pursuing a career as a dancer and model. In 1959, she was cast in the television series Richard Diamond, Private Detective, where she supplied the voice and legs (her face was never seen) of the receptionist, Sam. While she continued to work in television (other credits include Stagecoach West and 77 Sunset Strip), her actual big break came in 1961 when she joined The Dick Van Dyke Show as Laura Petrie, the wife of Dick Van Dyke's Rob Petrie.
The Dick Van Dyke Show is one of the greatest television comedies ever made for a number of reasons (series creator Carl Reiner's marvelous wit, Van Dyke's lead performance, a deep bench of strong supporting players), but it did something truly remarkable: it allowed Moore to shine as brightly as her male co-stars, letting her be as funny as the man with his name in the title of the show. Moore would win her first Emmy in 1964 and her second in 1966.
Her other four Emmys would come with The Mary Tyler Moore Show, the legendary sitcom that launched the career of James L. Brooks and solidified Moore as an icon. Moore starred as Mary Richard, a 30-year old single woman who enters the hectic world of television news after being jilted by her boyfriend. What's commonplace now was revolutionary in 1970 – Moore was playing an independent single woman who pursues a career in a tough field, not the housewife stuck at home with the kids. The series' feminism set a new standard for what we expect from our female television characters, and it did it while being really, really funny.
Moore followed seven seasons of The Mary Tyler Moore Show with The Mary Tyler Moore Hour before starring in director Robert Redford's 1980 film Ordinary People, which took home Best Picture at the Academy Awards and won her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Although we commonly remember Moore as being one of the sharpest and funniest women to ever grace television screens, this film serves as a reminder that she was a dramatic powerhouse as well.
Mary Tyler Moore continued to work steadily over the past few decades, famously playing herself in an episode of The Ellen Show and appearing in David O. Russell's Flirting With Disaster. She died of complications from Type I Diabetes, which she was diagnosed with when she was 33 years old.
While she may be gone, her legacy will live on. As the theme song to The Mary Tyler Moore Show promises us: "You're gonna make it after all."

Home/News/Meta Hit With $275M Fine Over Scraped Facebook Data
Meta Hit With $275M Fine Over Scraped Facebook Data
Meta has been caught failing to abide by Europe's privacy rules, resulting in the Irish Data Protection Commission slapping the social media giant with a hefty fine.
Facebook's parent company must pay a 265 million euro ($275 million) penalty and take a number of corrective measures, the Irish DPC said in an announcement on Monday as it concluded a year-and-a-half-long investigation.
The watchdog launched an inquiry into Meta after it discovered a collated dataset of people's personal Facebook data had been made available on the internet. After closely scrutinizing Facebook Search, Facebook Messenger Contact Importer and Instagram Contact Importer tools, it found that Meta was not living up to its legal obligation to ensure that it was protecting data by design and default.
It falls to Ireland's privacy watchdog to ensure Meta is following Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which went into effect in 2018, because like many other Silicon Valley tech giants, Meta has chosen to base its European headquarters in that country. The GDPR gives European internet users some of the strongest privacy protections in the world. If there are security breaches, or if that data is held longer than necessary, companies can get in big trouble.
It's not the company's first such brush with the law. Back in September 2021, the DPC fined Meta because its messaging service WhatsApp had failed to properly explain to users how it was using their data. There are several other areas of Meta's historical privacy practices the DPC is also currently probing. But for now, the company has this week's big fine to contend with.
"Protecting the privacy and security of people's data is fundamental to how our business works," said a spokesman for Meta in a statement. He added that the company had complied with the DPC's investigation and had made changes to the platform in the interim period to prevent scraping of data, including telephone numbers.
"Unauthorized data scraping is unacceptable," he said, adding that Meta was carefully reviewing the DPC's decision.

My aim when writing this book was that it would be a functional working manual. Following through my original aim, so that as many as possible could enjoy the making of Ruskin Lace. The technique notes were tested on beginners by allowing them to take the notes for their next stage home with them. If those who had no basic knowledge could understand the notes then they were functional. This is why so many the world over now enjoy making Ruskin Lace in isolation, having seen evidence of many results this has given me a great deal of reward and satisfaction.
This is the only definitive instruction on this subject. First published at the request of B.T.Batsford Ltd., London, October 1985, reprinted 1986, soft cover introduced approx. 1989. After being out of print a few years I was able to retrieve the copyright and re-issue it in 1997. Finally a revised edition was published, 1999. This continues to be available.
The revised edition is bound on a continuous spiral for ease of use and it is always obvious where the outer cover is. folded open at the relevant page it sits happily on the lap or is not taking up valuable space on the work surface. the diagrams are simplistic and uncluttered, the photography and printing reproduction are excellent.
This book is available from me. Please for cost of method for mailing (airmail, surface etc.) to your part of the world. The book cost is £12.50each, sterling + £1.32 postage and packing. Trade/wholesale enquires are welcome, minimum number 5 copies.

What Barnes thinks Warriors must do to get back to playoffs
/ by Josh Schrock
While the rest of the NBA duked it out this season, the Warriors lie dormant, recuperating and recalibrating after five straight trips to the NBA Finals.
It almost certainly will be an abbreviated stay at the bottom of the league. A fully healthy Steph Curry and Klay Thompson should propel the Warriors back to NBA relevancy. But the reimagined Warriors are far from a finished product, and former Warrior Matt Barnes believes Golden State has some things to iron out before drawing their path back to the playoffs.
"The one thing I will say is that the Warriors are going to have to rebuild that bench," Barnes said on ESPN's "The Jump." "The bench was always very key for them with Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, David West, Patrick McCaw. They always had a lot of guys that added so much to that team from the bench, so that's one thing I will say is that they definitely have to strengthen that bench up."

The Warriors undoubtedly have the best top four in the NBA with Curry, Thompson, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins, but they will need to rediscover the strength in numbers that made them so successful over the last half-decade.
Bench question marks aside, Barnes still believes the Warriors will be one of the best teams in the Western Conference next season.
"I think the Warriors will be in the top three in the West," Barnes said. "They are coming back with a well-rested Steph and Klay and Draymond is well-rested as well. Whether they decided to move the No. 2 pick and package it with a young talent and Andrew Wiggins to possibly steal a superstar from somewhere but they are very high on Andrew Wiggins. I feel like the Warriors are going to be right back where they left off now that they have everyone healthy."
RELATED: LeBron's LA title finally gives NBA real Warriors-Lakers rivalry
The Warriors have a treasure chest of assets with which to improve their roster this offseason, including the No. 2 overall pick and a $17.2 million trade exception.
Bench depth will be important for success in the rough and tumble Western Conference, but the health of Curry, Thompson, Green and Wiggins remains the most important factor for the Warriors' rise back to the top.
The Los Angeles Lakers conquered the bubble to claim the franchise's 17th title and currently sit atop the NBA. The Warriors will be coming for them, as will the Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, Miami Heat and Boston Celtics, among others.
Golden State will need to make some tweaks in order to match up with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but they should enter the season as one of the favorites to lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
As long as Curry and Thompson are lacing them up, the Warriors will be a force to be reckoned with.
