MFA files formal complaint over Breaking the Silence's exhibit on 'life in the West Bank' to Bern; Zurich: this starts dialogue.
Israel has lodged a formal protest with Bern over Swiss funding for an exhibit by extreme leftist NGO "Breaking the Silence," officials said Wednesday to AFP, following a declaration by Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) to fight the group.
The exhibit will open in Zurich later this week.
Hotovely is determined to prevent the exhibit from taking place, ordering both the ministry and Israel's embassy in Bern to examine ways of preventing it, ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon told AFP.
The exhibit allegedly sheds light on the day-to-day reality of life in Judea-Samaria - dubbed "the occupied West Bank" - and has received funding from both the Swiss foreign ministry and the city of Zurich, officials told AFP.
A foreign ministry spokesperson confirmed Bern made a contribution of 15,000 Swiss francs ($16,000/14,300 euros) to the exhibit.
A spokesman for Zurich's finance department confirmed donating 10,000 Swiss francs from a fund which can be used for various non-profit organizations.

Akufo-Addo's Free SHS: Over 1,400 students pregnant in one year - Minority claims
2 months ago 1710 views by Jeffrey Mensah
- Minority MPs have claimed over 1,400 SHS students got pregnant in the 2018/2019 academic year
- According to the MPs, President Akufo-Addo's implementation of Free SHS is the cause of the pregnancies
- The MPs made the claim at a press conference addressed by Ranking Member on Parliament's Education Committee, Peter Nortsu
Our Manifesto: This is what YEN.com.gh believes in
Over 1,400 Senior High School (SHS) students got pregnant and dropped out of school in the 2018/2019 academic year, the Minority in Parliament has claimed.

According to the opposition MPs who failed to provide any proof to back their claims, the double-track system introduced by President Akufo-Addo's government into the Free SHS system is the cause of the pregnancies.
The double-track system was introduced after the implementation of the Free SHS policy saw a major increase in SHS students leading to congestion across schools in the country.
Under the system, one batch of students stays in school for some two months, while another is at home. When the first stream goes on break, the second also goes to school.
The double-track system has been received with mixed reactions since it was first introduced and the opposition NDC has been one of the staunchest critics.

Addressing the opposition MPs press conference on Wednesday, November 6, 2019, Ranking Member on Parliament's Education Committee, Peter Nortsu, reiterated that the increasing rate of teenage pregnancies recorded is as a result of the introduction of the double-track system.
He added that the long vacation unnecessarily exposes the students to social risks such as alcoholism and the cultivation of deviant behaviour among others.
The MPs also said the double-track has failed to cure the problem of congestion due to the huge infrastructure deficit.
According to them, the government has abandoned all the projects the NDC government started before they were ousted in the December 2016 elections.

By the time you read this article, you may already be able to purchase the Alcatel 1X. On the surface, this phone probably wouldn't get a lot of coverage. It is very much an entry-level phone that carries a very impressive price tag. If you live in the US though, this is the very first phone you will be able to buy that comes with Android Oreo Go pre-installed. If you would like to learn more about Android Go, you can read our article here.
This is going to get the same treatment as any other phone I do a write up on. While you are reading these specs please keep in mind this phone comes in at just a shade under $100!
For $100, this phone should get the job done. Coupled with Android Go, you should have better performance than any other phone with similar specs. If it does, that would really make a case for having Android Go on these entry-level smartphones.
Judging from the pictures, this phone looks like it is made out of plastic and it looks to have a very sleek profile. Outside of that it really does seem to fall in line with most of the design cues from other smartphones. Something to note that I really wouldn't expect to see on a phone in this price range, is a fingerprint sensor. Even better, it's in the perfect position, below the camera on the back of the device. I would be very interested to see how well that sensor is implemented. Will it recognize quickly and accurately?
My Mom has a prepaid phone and I think this would be perfect for her. She's always complaining about how slow her current phone is. If Android Go lives up to its billing, this should fix that problem. Will you be getting the Alcatel 1X? If you do, will you be getting it for yourself? Or a loved one? Let us know in the comments if this Alcatel phone intrigues you!

Recently I had the honor of viewing an exclusive online premier of Mighty Fine. The film, based on writer/director Debbie Goodstein's childhood experiences, touches upon the controversial and difficult roles that anger and aggression can play in a family.
Mighty Fine tells the story of a 1970's family, who move from Brooklyn to New Orleans in search of a better, more prosperous life. The movie paints the picture of Joe Fine's (Chazz Palminteri) love for his wife (Andie MacDowell) and daughters (Jodelle Ferland and Rainey Qualley), juxtaposed against his explosive, rage-filled side, which he often takes out on those closest to him.
The emotional abuse leaves Stella, Maddie, and Natalie conflicted between their love for this charismatic, generous man, and their vulnerability in the face of his unpredictable mood swings.
In the beginning, Joe appears to be a generous and loving husband and father. As the movie progresses, Joe's temperament and his anger problem start to be revealed. His anger fuels conflict in his family, exacerbating the communication problems and power struggles with his teen daughters.
If you've ever known anyone with angry/abusive behavior, you'll recognize the polar opposite mode of him trying to make up for his angry outbursts by spending money and giving his family elaborate gifts.
I have to admit that it was a little difficult for me to watch, as I was previously married to someone who was exactly like Joe. It did, however, make me realize how lucky I am that I was strong enough not to put up with the abuse and erratic behavior, and leave before I felt 'stuck'. I knew if I stayed, I would have lost myself (or my life), and if we had ever had kids together, they would feel his wrath, too. So I guess you could say not only was I looking out for myself, but for my future children as well.
There has been a conspiracy of silence among people who have experienced emotional abuse. I myself was guilty of that when I was married to the abusive ex-husband. No one had a clue until after I had left – and in some cases, not until years later – what I had actually gone through behind closed doors. It's true that many families cover up the fact they have hostile home environments.
It's not fun having to live life walking on eggshells – particularly around someone who's supposed to love you – due to flaming tempers and abrasive personalities. So many people and families go through their day-to-day routines pretending to ignore the tension in the household. I know I sure did.
The film, Mighty Fine, premiering in select cities May 25th, explores The Fine family dynamic and how the effects of an explosive parent can ripple through a family. The film strikes a chord among those who've experienced the often incomprehensible behavior of an abusive parent. It also makes the connection between economic uncertainty and its impact on people whose mental health is already precarious.
I highly recommend seeing it – Chazz Palminteri gives the performance of a lifetime that will mesmerize and haunt viewers.
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Mighty Fine and the distributor. I received access to an online showing of the film and a promotional item to thank me for participating". All opinions are my own and not influenced by outside sources.

Q: fetching only new rows from mysql with jquery ajax
Possible Duplicate:
jquery/ajax load new content when available

i have a table named news with 3 fields i.e (id, news, time) and i have a setInterval after every 3mints to fetch news from google or any news site ....
now i want to fetch only new rows inserted after every 5 minutes...with jquery $.ajax()...how can i do that...
do i reload the whole table or there is a way to fetch only the new ones...

A: You'll want to select when your time is greater than current time - 3 minutes and current time.  This will give you the newest rows that have been inserted within the last three minutes.
I don't know what database you're running, but it will be much faster to run a query every three minutes than try to process over the entire database result set.

A: Have a variable which stores the latest ID number for a returned row, and then include that in the AJAX call (having the PHP server-side script only return rows with an ID greater than it).
In the Calling Page
var latestID = 0;
...
/* Within the Variables Section for the AJAX Call */
  laterThan : latestID
...
/* Within the Success AJAX Function */
  latestID = data.highestID; /* Where "data.highestID" is the highest ID returned */

In the Server-Side Script being called via AJAX
<?php
...
/* Within the SQL Query creating the returned rows */
'WHERE
  ...
  AND `id` > '.( isset( $_GET['latestID'] ) ? (int) $_GET['latestID'] : 0 )

Good things come in small packages. Or big ones. Or unusual ones. When it comes to direct mail, creativity is key. Amidst the plethora of other media competing for your audience's attention, your mailpiece design is as important as its content. Sending something intriguing — or simply just fun — can give your offer the interest and impact it needs to generate new sales.
Back in the good old days, if people were excited about your business, they told each other — over the fence, at the water cooler, etc. Today's world is different. People are overbooked, with very little in-person time to share thoughts on companies or give recommendations. Add in all the apps for curbside/in-store pickup, and there's no longer even chatter while waiting in line.
Brand strategy is boss these days. Just about every company relies on its "brand" to capture prospects, boost loyalty, and create an enduring image that drives new sales and growth. It all starts with brand recognition. Just look at Apple, Nike, and Coca-Cola. Their brand power is so pervasive, it only takes a glance at a print ad or social media post to know it's theirs. From there, consumers take notice and respond.
Apple Pages, Microsoft Publisher, and even Word now have the tools to let anyone become their own designer. Yet, while DIY saves costs, it may not be that simple. You still need to stand out and deliver a message that connects with your audience. And you still need to use visually appealing design.
Digital printing has been around for a long time, but for many people, it may be new. Perhaps you work at a catalog or magazine business and have always done long-run web printing. Or maybe you're a new graphic designer or marketer starting out. Others may have held back because of the "toner" look or need to replicate Pantones or specialty mixes.
Being successful in business requires smart marketing. But more than that, it takes ingenuity. Your direct mail effort is a great place to start. Tangible and tactile, your postcard, tri-fold, dimensional mailer, or other piece offers promise of getting sorted through the hands of your consumer rather than breezed through on their phones. Be respectful of this privilege, and give recipients a reason to respond.
What Makes for Great Customer Data?
Data is all the rage these days. Open any industry journal, attend any conference, or simply sit in on a marketing meeting, and you're sure to hear the need for your data to be "robust," "relevant," and "targeted." However it's framed, the objective of data is to ensure it has the power not only to drive sales now, but also to continue profitable business for years ahead.
For most of us, New Year's resolutions are a losing proposition. Who actually is still going to the gym by January 15? And, of course, all the leftover pumpkin cheesecake needs somewhere to go. Yet, while our personal resolutions may have limited effect, our business ones can have a lot greater value. Chosen wisely — and kept — they can have tremendous impact on our companies, our customers, and our bottom lines.
As the end of year approaches, many businesses can get overwhelmed, finding themselves barely able to accommodate workloads, much less manage other important functions. This can mean skimping on your customer holiday message, or worse — sending an e-card!

In March, the A.I. platform AlphaGo beat a human champion at the (notoriously complex) game of Go.
Later this year, at the 2016 Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG) Conference, bots will leverage machine-learning algorithms to play "Doom," the classic first-person shooter.
Now comes the next stage in the machines' inevitable overshadowing of humans' game-playing prowess: Google's DeepMind has learned to beat "Montezuma's Revenge" (screenshot above).
If you're a child of the 1980s, you may remember "Montezuma's Revenge," a difficult side-scroller in which an explorer navigated through an ancient temple, jumping over rolling skulls and figuring out how to grab keys to unlock new levels. Unlike board games such Go or chess, side-scrolling video games demand split-second timing and a little ingenuity if you want to succeed.
How did Google's DeepMind division, tasked with building A.I. platforms that rapidly learn and adapt, build software capable of guiding a digital character through all manner of obstacles without splattering everywhere? Simply put, it built a sense of "artificial curiosity." If the software "wants" to survive and explore, it will keep trying and dying until it figures out the patterns necessary to make it through.
The benefit of older games like "Montezuma's Revenge" is that every element is pre-programmed, as opposed to procedurally generated (as with many modern games); that means a rolling skull will always roll across a particular floor with the same timing, no matter how many times the player encounters it. If you tried using DeepMind's software to beat a procedurally generated game with random elements (such as level maps or enemy movement patterns), the software's avatar would likely have a difficult time surviving.
If you're interested in learning more about machine learning, check out Dice's article on breaking into the field. Data scientists and software engineers are particularly suited for jobs that involve building or refining machine-learning algorithms; soft skills are also a must, as a lot of A.I. projects are also cross disciplinary. Gaming skills may also become a nice-to-have; you'll never know when your current A.I. project will want to challenge you to a match.


Here is the code I placed in the Value of the 'onchange' property of the Extended Properties of the dropdown. The name of the 'Save and Submit' button is btnSaveAndSubmit.
"$('#" + btnSaveAndSubmit.ID + "').attr('disabled', true);"
When the screen opens, Disposition is 'Pending', making the button disabled. Any selection leaves the button disabled, which is incorrect behavior. The button should become enabled upon selecting Deferred, Recommended, Rejected, or Approved. To test my syntax I changed the above statement to If(condition, disabled=false, disabled=false). On the first change of the dropdown the 'Save and Submit' button became enabled, confirming the onchange was being read and my button ID and syntax were correct.
If the above does not work, how do you read a form widget during the onchange event?
add an action that should only do an ajax refresh to the submit button.
As exemple you need to create a screen with a preparation and put a combo box / dropdown inside a form and a button "Save And Submit" on the screen and 2 tables (Disposition table and OtherTable).
2-Drag disposition table and drop it inside of your preparation.
3-Drag table1 table and drop it inside of your preparation.
Select GetTable1s.List.Current as Source Record.
Select GetDispositions.List as source Record List, Disposition.Label as Source Attribute and in the Onchange Action create select "New Action". It will create na Action with name "OnChange".
Put an ajax refresh widget.
When option is Pending, button is disabled.
When other option is set, button "Save and Submit" is enabled.
Thank you both. Marcelo for the solution and Nuno Goncalo for all the details to execute it.
Works beautifully, and so much simpler than Java Script!

This Was the World's First Fighter Jet
It's a common misconception that the Messerschmitt 262 Schwalbe (Swallow) was the first fighter jet in history, though it certainly was the very first fighter jet to enter service. It was actually preceded by a different twin-engined turbojet-powered fighter, also of German origin. Built by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke, the He 280 was the world's first fighter jet, though it never saw active service with any air force, and never entered mass production.
In the late 1930s, Ernst Heinkel, an aircraft designer and the founder of the aviation manufacturer which bore his name, was in the midst of developing a new aircraft unlike anything the world had ever seen before. Carefully avoiding drawing attention to his project, he combined a metal airframe with a turbojet engine, the HeS 3 Strahltriebwerke (German for "jet engine"). The result was known as the He 178, the first jet-powered aircraft in history. After flight tests were completed on the He 178, Heinkel set his sights on weaponizing jet aircraft, turning them from innocuous yet incredibly loud testbeds into fast, well-armed fighters designed to take on bombers and fighters of any class and caliber.
The Heinkel He 178. (Author unknown)
Heinkel's design team for the fighter jet project was led by Robert Lusser, a German pilot and engineer who envisioned a very "traditional" approach to sculpting the future of fighter aviation. Using a conventional fuselage and wings that bore strong resemblances to those of other fighter aircraft of the period, Lusser quickly brought together the fighter on the drafting table. He added a tailplane with twin vertical stabilizers at the end of each horizontal stabilizer, making the aircraft look more like an undersized bomber or reconnaissance bird than a fighter. The two turbojet engines that would power the aircraft were to be placed close to the fuselage in pods slung underneath the wings. Now dubbed the He 280, Heinkel's fighter jet was taking shape fast.
The project had begun in late 1939, mere days before the invasion of Poland which lit the fuse to the Second World War. By the summer of 1940, Heinkel's factory produced one working prototype, fitted with an ejection seat – the very first of its kind. When everything seemed to be going according to plan, things started to unravel. The He 280 would be powered by a pair of HeS 8 engines, the direct derivative of the aforementioned HeS 3. But the problem with the HeS 8 was that it didn't really work. Issues with thrust output slowed down the project, and led the program's engineering staff to attaching weighted pods where the engines would normally go, so that the aircraft could at least conduct a series of glide tests. A second prototype was completed and finally flown using its own engines, though the problems with the HeS 8 persisted. Alternatives were explored and testing continued.
In what would perhaps be the finest demonstration of the He 280's improvements upon conventional piston-powered fighters, a prototype was pitted in a "fly-off" against a Focke Wulf Fw 190 Wurger (German for "shrike"). German military officials were finally interested. An order was placed for 300 mass-production units of the He 280. But the powerplant woes remained. Around the same time, a design team at Willy Messerschmitt's aircraft company toiled furiously over the development of the Me 262, which proved to be the He 280's only rival. Military officers involved in program oversight noted the failings of the He 280 (i.e. its thrust issues) were largely absent in the Me 262. Interest in Heinkel's jet began to diminish.
It remains to be seen whether or not the He 280 would have actually been the game-changer the Axis so desperately needed to shift the advantage of complete aerial supremacy entirely to their side of the ring. The He 280 in comparison to the Me 262 was slower, poorly armed, and considerably lacking in range. Air Marshal Ernst Udet, a celebrated former fighter pilot (and high-scoring ace) of the Luftwaffe, was largely unimpressed by Heinkel's brainchild. As the director of the Luftwaffe's research and development section, it was his job to sift through various proposals and projects to find what he believed would be ideal for Germany's wartime needs. Had he endorsed the He 280, the outcome of the Second World War in Europe could potentially have been vastly different.
Adding political clout to the development of the He 280 would have given the project the funding and attention Heinkel was desperate for, so that he could keep the fighter jet alive. Had the He 280 received better engines more suited towards the airframe and an upgrade in armament, it's very possible that the Luftwaffe might have given the next-generation aircraft a chance, presenting a very adverse scenario for Allied air forces operating in Europe. Piston-powered fighters, such as the Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, Curtiss P-40 Warhawk and North P-51 American Mustang could maneuver far better than the He 280 (and even the later Me 262), and were fairly well armed, but were unable to match the speed of the German fighter jet.
As the late military historian Robert F. Dorr said, in his own analysis of the He 280:
The Americans were going to change everything with their own four-engine heavy bombers and with high altitude precision daylight bombing of military and industrial targets. Yet as late as October 1943, they lost 60 bombers on one mission and had not yet fielded a true escort fighter, the P-51 Mustang. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was telling anyone who would listen that the Allied air campaign would have to succeed or plans for the invasion of Europe would have to be put on hold. If hundreds of He 280s had been in the field before the bombing campaign even began, before the first P-51 arrived or even before the first American bombers reached Berlin in March 1944, B-17s and B-24s could have been swept from the skies.
(Source: Germany's First Jet Fighter: The He 280)
Hypothetically, He 280s could zip into ideal positions to attack large "boxes" of American and British strategic bombers en route to strike German ground positions, take them out while using their speed to their advantage, before fleeing so that the remaining bombers and escort fighters could be dealt with by other German fighter aircraft. Had the Luftwaffe been able to enter the He 280 into service, it would have also enabled Heinkel to rapidly mature and re-develop the fighter using the lessons learned in combat to make it a more potent combat platform. This would have undoubtedly had an umbrella effect on other German fighter programs at the time, advancing German fighter aviation far beyond what the Allies had to offer. This would have also necessitated a scaling-down in mass production of piston-powered fighters like the Messerschmitt Bf 109, which was, by then, already a tried-and-proven combat aircraft and well-liked by the pilots who flew them.
It's worthy noting that the Allied side was over a year to two years behind in developing combat-capable fighter jets of their own. The British Gloster Meteor flew for the first time in 1943, becoming fully operation over a year later, months before the conclusion of the War in Europe. The American P-59 Airacomet flew first in 1942, but was deemed unsuitable for aerial combat and was only used for testing and training purposes. The next American jet contribution would be the P-80 Shooting Star, which entered service in 1945, after Allied victory in Europe.
However, the He 280 just wasn't meant to be.
An He 280 prototype. (Author unknown)
The project's constant mechanical issues and its lack of a suitable powerplant were the final nails in its coffin. The Luftwaffe refused to press the He 280 into service, citing its gross inefficiency and constant delays in the development program as the reason for eventually canning the entire project. In late March, 1943, word was handed down to Ernst Heinkel that the He 280 was to be immediately canceled and that he was to focus more attention on building more advanced strategic bomber aircraft instead. The world's first fighter jet was officially dead, with nine prototypes built. The pre-production models were dismantled, and the Luftwaffe focused its attention elsewhere. Heinkel was later further humiliated when the Luftwaffe made it known that it would be proceeding with the procurement of the Me 262, the progeny of Heinkel's fierce rival, Willy Messerschmitt. He would hold onto the bitterness stemming from this particular defeat until his death in 1958.

Renault Zoe – Game Changer
March 12, 2013 Trevor Larkum	7 Comments
Renault Zoe 2013 (Image: Renault.com)
I have been intending for a long time to right up my views on why the Zoe is a 'game changer', i.e. why it is such a significant vehicle. With the various launch delays there seemed to be no urgency, but now the Zoe is actually about to be delivered to its first customers it seems like the perfect time to put pen to paper.
In my view the time of the electric car has come – however, here I want to consider that a given (I will likely return to that topic in a later post) and look at the reasons why the Zoe is special, a game changer, and why I believe it will have a big impact on the market.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary:
Definition of game changer
"an event, idea, or procedure that effects a significant shift in the current way of doing or thinking about something"
I believe the Zoe hits this mark because it has the potential to revolutionise personal transport in terms of cost, convenience and – most importantly – climate change impact.
There are other electric cars out there, of course – most notably the Nissan LEAF, Chevrolet Volt (Opel/Vauxhall Ampera) and Mitsubishi i-MiEV (Peugeot iOn/Citroen C-Zero). They have been on the market since 2010 and are showing constant, but slow, growth. They are generally being refreshed to improve their performance and specifications, and to lower prices, but this change is incremental. It is unlikely they will have significantly greater impact on the market in the future than they have at present, though of course sales should continue to grow solidly over time in line with general increasing EV market share.
I see the Zoe as combining a significant number of improvements in key areas to produce, overall, a package that is a game changer. I can see it having a massive impact on the market in a similar way to Ford's original Model T – that car was not the only one available at the time, but its combination of capability and low price produced a revolution in car ownership. The Zoe has the ability to repeat that revolution in the major shift that is beginning as the world transitions its cars from fossil fuels to electricity.
Of course, I am not the first person to see the Zoe as special or a game changer, and certainly won't be the last. Here are some quotes that have caught my eye:
"The Renault ZOE could be a game changing electric car thanks to a low price and fast charging system"
Torque News
"Never has a supermini caused so much excitement, but Renault's near imminent launch of the ZOE supermini is expected to be a game-changer for electric vehicles, bringing them within the reach of a much wider audience."
Green Car Website
"Renault Zoe is the most important new-generation EV to date"
Eco-Drive.co.uk
"I have been saying this since the Zoe concept was first shown: I believe it is the model that will take electric cars in to the mainstream."
ConnEVted Blog
"Could Renault's Zoe be a game-changer in the electric car market? It might only be going on sale in Europe, but several signs are pointing towards it being significantly more popular than cars like the Nissan Leaf."
Green Car Reports
"Renault's Zoe electric car could be a game changer for the French company."
Cars Guide
"Zoe is the best-priced, most attractive and easy to use electric car to date."
The Zoe Package
So what is it about the Zoe 'package' – its specification, purchase and ownership – that makes it special? While this discussion is about the Zoe versus other electric cars, it should also be considered in the context of replacing conventional cars. Therefore it is important to give that context at the outset – compared to an equivalent internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, such as the Renault Clio, it is quieter, generally cheaper to own and run, smoother to drive, less dirty and polluting, and has the potential to reduce the production of climate change greenhouse gases.
With that stated, I believe these are the key points in a comparison of the Zoe with other electric cars:
1. Market Leading Range
Range is often cited as the most significant shortcoming of electrics vehicles (EVs). While it is typically overstated by non-owners, and accepted by EV owners, it is nonetheless a significant consideration. The range of the Zoe under the 2012 European (NEDC) system is 210km (130 miles) which compares favourably with other fully mass market electric cars: the LEAF at 175km (109 miles), the i-MiEV at 150km (93 miles) and the Ford Focus Electric at 122km (75 miles).
The luxury Tesla EV is not considered a direct competitor since even its lowest cost version, which has a range of about 260km (160 miles) on the US EPA system, starts at about three times the cost of the Zoe.
2. Affordable Price
Zoe is half the price of the Nissan LEAF, the most comparable electric car. The key to this difference is that the Zoe battery is leased separately rather than included in the purchase price. This approach immediately makes the Zoe affordable, putting it at about the same price as the equivalent Renault Clio (after typical government subsidies), while the battery lease cost should be no more than the monthly saving in fossil fuel. An additional benefit is that this removes any worries about deterioration of the battery – if it drops significantly in capability then Renault guarantees to replace it under the terms of the lease. There is also the potential (not promised by Renault) that the capacity of the battery (and hence the range of the car) could increase over the lifetime of the lease as battery technology improves.
3. Chameleon Charger
The Zoe comes with its own built-in 'Caméléon' fast charger – this is a radical approach not available on any other car. In the short term this feature will probably not appear to be very significant. Most EV owners charge their cars overnight on their domestic supply. Other EVs provide a typical choice of charging at 3.3kW (LEAF) or 6.6kW (Ford Focus Electric) and the Zoe will be similar, though at the higher end (about 7kW), on a standard single-phase supply. However, the Chameleon can also use a three-phase supply, and so accept up to 22kW – and in many European countries such supplies are relatively common in family homes. This gives the potential of an 80% charge in about an hour at home (and in about half an hour at an even more powerful commercial charge point).
The longer term effect is perhaps less obvious – when fast chargers are installed in large numbers throughout Europe there will be a choice for installers between providing expensive DC fast chargers suitable for the LEAF and other EVs, or simply providing cheap three-phase outlets. If they choose the latter, only the Zoe will be able to use them.
4. Heat Pump
Fossil fuel cars are so inefficient that they provide lots of spare heat to warm the cabin in cold weather – a distinct advantage over most electric cars which typically use a significant proportion of their battery charge (and hence range) when they need to warm the cabin. The Zoe instead uses a highly efficient heat pump (essentially an air conditioner in reverse) to provide significant cabin heating in cold weather without a major impact on range.
5. Looks
This is a tricky one to gauge. The Zoe is different from the most popular EVs to date (the LEAF and i-MiEV) because it looks like a conventional car – in fact, in most dimensions and other respects it is almost identical to the new style Renault Clio. While a small proportion of potential owners want a vehicle that stands out from the crowd (and I include myself in that), it is most likely that major sales will only come for a car that is a direct replacement for an ICE in terms of looks. It seems that most people don't want other people to know that they are driving an EV, or at least they don't want to appear to be 'shouting about it'. Essentially, if it looks like a typical car then that is one less obstacle to most people buying one.
These five characteristics together produce a package that is unsurpassed in the EV marketplace. Renault has created a vehicle that is head and shoulders above others. The litmus test now is whether the market exists for electric cars in general, for if it does then the Zoe will lead it. Initial indications are very good. This is an exciting time in the electric transport revolution – just watch this space.

Do you still think this is the case? I'm getting increasingly concerned about the charging situation, and the absence of occasional charge cable could be a major drawback to the ignorant mass market. How many charging stations will the Zoe now be able to exploit? Discussions I"ve seen here and elsewhere are confusing me, and I get th eimpression that there'll be a whole host of charging points that Zoe owners will be unable to use.
After patiently waiting for the Zoe for so long, I'm worried that it's now going to be dead-on-arrival due to a lack of mass market interest, and will soon be abandoned as a failed experiment by Renault.
Buzzar
DOA I don't think so as more than 2000 Zoe's have been sold in France to date and hasn't the UK government just announced that it is to put aside a few millions of £'s to inject into the UK EV charging network? 🙂
@buzzar: There are only something like 350 Zoe reservations in the UK. I can imagine the UK being an abandoned market due to lack of consumer interest, and it certainly doesn't help that ours will be more expensive to manufacture because of the driving-side issue.
I guess I can't imagine convincing someone uninterested in EVs that the Zoe is a good idea when telling them they'll *have* to get a wall box, and can't charge the car at friends' houses. For instance I've got a lot of friends I'd like to visit who will be pushing the Zoe's range. With the occasional charge cable I had some confidence that if I was borderline on being able to make it home, I could charge whilst visiting people to err on the safe side. Now it looks like even these reasonably short trips will become exercises in logistics planning.
Thanks Trevor for summary of ZOE's qualities, I suspect we all started to have our doubts.
Personaly I started to think about smaller cars such as E-UP! who weighs one tonne, and is about 400kg lighter than ZOE. I hope iz will be easier to charge it at home.
I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to charge my car at home, after all some of my home appliances have more than 2kw of power consuption. I can't believe this is an engineering problem, it has to be something else.
PerLyngemark
The single biggest question is the home charging, and without it the ZOE could become DOA in many countries, like Sweden where we have FOUR compliant chargers.
With a support of granny cables, the ZOE could take off like crazy, and be the game changer we all hope it will be.
I see no reason why granny cables wouldn't work technically, especially not with the ZOEs acclaimed chameleon charger. It would be insane if Renault modified the ZOE to refuse charging from non-wallboxes. Hopefully we get a straight answer from Renault very soon (after all the cars are reaching customers any day now in France), I'm sure we will see several customers trying various cables.
Is it possible the chameleon charger just doesn't work properly? After all, isn't it the first of its kind?

Should Microsoft Take You out of the Patching Question?
Sometimes Microsoft gets pushy and tries to force policies on customers, but not usually. The monthly patch cycle is an example of how they give enterprises as much flexibility as they can, and you wouldn't want it any other way. Customers gain nothing if Microsoft abandons the monthly cycle and will only lose customers if it forces users to apply updates.
When Microsoft went to the regular monthly patch cycle many years ago it seemed counter-intuitive to many. Turns out it's very popular among enterprises. But it still rubs some people the wrong way, including Wolfgang Kandek, chief technology officer at security company Qualys.
Kandek has been quoted in more than one publication recently arguing that Microsoft should abandon the monthly patch cycle, at least for Internet Explorer, and follow the Mozilla model. That model has the application searching for and installing updates automatically when it is launched.
It's not for nothing that Kandek says this; the success of the Conficker worm confirms his assertion that many companies don't apply patches as quickly as they should. The security advisories on the particular vulnerability exploited by that worm were about as explicit and dire as they could be. I said at the time: This vulnerability is one of those rare ones that could result in a true network worm, where a system could be successfully attacked over the network with no user action at all.
There are plenty of mitigating circumstances for this worm; for instance, while Vista could theoretically be attacked, in practice defense-in-depth features make it almost impossible to do so. All the exploited systems in the real world are XP and earlier. But the large majority of enterprise systems run those older platforms, so any conscious network administrator should have prioritized this patch. Many did not.
Of course, the schedule isn't the problem here. Very few outbreaks of any vulnerability happen before the patch, and when something is urgent Microsoft can go out of band. The real problem, as Kandek sees it, is that network admins have chosen to centralize administration of patches and to go slow with them. Thus the key to Kandek's proposal is not to change the schedule, although he does say that IE patches should come out as soon as available, but that IE should have its own independent patch mechanism, and that administrators should not control it.
Updates to IE, Kandek says, should just be installed automatically. No testing by you.
No doubt this would increase patch frequency in the enterprise, and I sympathize with Kandek. I definitely think that the odd application compatibility problem introduced by a patch have to be minor in comparison to the potential security problems of not patching. But that's not my decision to make. I have no business making your patch decisions for you and neither does Microsoft. It's your job. And if your decision not to rush the MS08-067 patch resulted in a Conficker outbreak in your enterprise, well you and whoever else is responsible deserve to suffer the consequences. It's not Microsoft's fault; they made a patch available and told you how serious the matter was.
As for single users and unmanaged networks, once again I don't see the advantage. Automatic Updates is on by default in Windows for many years, so end users should be getting these updates, too. Unless they turn off automatic updates, which a stunning number of users do.
So if we move the patch decision from Windows to IE, won't those same users defer patching because they heard somewhere that these patches actually make things worse?
The only alternative, where Kandek appears to be going, is to take the decisions out of the hands of the users. Do what Google's Chrome does, and what Firefox comes close to doing: patch without asking. Chrome doesn't bother to ask; Firefox asks, but they ask over and over again until you say yes. And there's no way to manage the updates at a network level.
And Firefox's pushiness may not be the be-all and end-all of this; A German study using Google user-agent data showed that "...the maximum share of the latest, most secure version never exceeded 80% for Firefox users..." Even for Firefox some users blow off the updates. Sounds like user freedom is a loser and Chrome's forced patching model is the only alternative.
I really want to hear from you, either through e-mail or with a comment below: how do you feel about losing the decision-making power on whether to patch IE?

Newcastle Falcons' 2020/21 kits hark back to the club's amateur era
Newcastle Falcons have revealed the new jerseys that the club will wear as they mark their return to the Premiership, and the away shirt pays tribute to the club's pre-processional identity as Gosforth RFC.
The home shirt sports some tonal black on black hoops mixed with light grey sleeves and collar, but the away shirt is something altogether more interesting.
Back in 1996, Sir John Hall made Newcastle Gosforth RFC the world's first professional rugby club, and as part of a wider branding exercise changed the club's colours to black and white to fit in with the Newcastle United FC, while also changing the club's name to Falcons.
Black and white might be popular up north, but it did mean the rather nice colours that 'Newcastle Gosforth' wore between 1990 and 95 – black, white and green hoops – passed into history.
Until now that is, with the new Falcons away shirt paying tribute to that period of the club's history – and very nice it is too.

Q: Unlocking computer with NFC-enabled phone I want to have an NFC sticker on my laptop/desktop which when swiped with my NFC phone will unlock my computer. If I don't have my phone with me, I can still login using my normal password. I so far bought some NFC stickers and installed TagStand on my phone which manages to post to a server that I control. I want to write some small piece of software that would listen to this server and unlock my computer if the server tells my computer to do so. I have not made the last part work as I don't know how to write such a software for either Mac or PC. Is it possible? If so, how?

A: The NFC part is very simple but the unlocking part is more complicated than you think. Unlocking your computer should never be done programmatically because if your program can do it, then so can others. Not to mention that this 'program' is going to act based on communication between a remote server and itself. This is a security nightmare, that has no use other than the experimental benefit.
If you do enough research you'll find that locking (not unlocking) a computer is possible programmatically. Unlocking on the other hand is not easy..
Here are a few links for you, I've been though them before, never tested them though...
Remotely-Unlock-a-Windows-Workstation
unlock-local-computer-using-net
unlock-windows-workstation-programatically
aucun

A: I thing another way of accomplishing this would be to do it the other way around. Have your phone store your password in an app that could pass it along to the computer. The computer would need some sort of USB NFC reader that would essentially act as a keyboard. When you tap your phone to the USB device it "types" your password into the text box and the last thing the app does is "hit the enter key" Obvious security issue is if you are running the unlocker app it is essentially just constantly sending out your password...

A: I would like to note that Asus has launched a product that does this (allows NFC login) for windows 8, so it is possible - as far as how secure it is I don't know...

She has always been there to ask players questions immediately following big moments, and sometimes has been in the line of fire with a few too many unwanted Gatorade showers and champagne baths. The iNews Network sat down with Marakovits over Zoom to discuss her career path and trajectory, her role models, and her many memorable interviews that she has conducted while with the YES Network.
iNews: What did Meredith Marakovits want to do when she was in middle or high school?
Meredith: You're looking at it. I wanted to do TV in some capacity, I had a feeling that it would be sports broadcasting because I grew up in a very athletic oriented family, I always played a lot of sports and got a D1 volleyball scholarship. So I guess that's what I thought going into my later years of high school that I wanted to focus on and most of the schools that I looked at I wanted to make sure they had a strong communication department and had a TV station, was one of my requirements, that they either had a station or was near a major city that would give me access to some of those big professional sports teams.
iNews: Did you ever have a "eureka" moment, like where you knew you wanted to be in broadcast?
Meredith: I really didn't, I grew up with two older brothers, so all we did was sports, whether it would be playing at the basketball hoop outside our house, or going to games, that was basically what our whole life revolved around, so it's not much of a surprise that I ended up doing something in the sports industry. I know some people say "I know as far back as I could remember I was announcing games on the TV" and doing stuff like that. I had people that I looked up to in the industry and people that I certainly watched, especially women in the industry.
iNews: You mentioned that you had a bunch of people in the sports industry that you watched and looked up to, could you name a few of those people?
Meredith: I loved Linda Cohen, who's still on the air at ESPN, she always did a wonderful job, Lesley Visser, who I had the privilege of meeting, along with Suzyn Waldman, those two are pioneers in this industry, and to be able to have a drink with them and hear about their experiences was absolutely amazing. There have been several, I was in the Philadelphia area, so Dei Lynam who was doing the Sixers games at the time when I was growing up, I wound up getting the Sixers' sideline gig and becoming friends with Dei. I remember speaking to her like you're speaking to me now, I was either in high school or college.
iNews: To make this story as relatable to the readers as possible, I'd like to ask you about rejection real quick. Sports broadcasting is such a competitive industry, what advice would you give, from your experience, to someone who has gone through or will go through that kind of rejection professionally, and how they can get through it even if it feels devastating?
Meredith: Well while the rejection is frustrating, it is part of the process. In my mindset, I only needed one person to say yes, I didn't need 20 people to say no. I needed one person to say yes to me and take a chance on me and then it's up to me to prove that they made the right choice. To me getting in, all I needed was one person to like me, to say yes, and once you get your foot in the door it's easier to move around, the struggle is just getting that first job, and trying to work on your craft. I would tell them, while it is frustrating, if this is what you want to do, keep working at it, keep getting your reps and keep putting yourself out there. You also don't have to hole yourself in, a lot of people say "Oh, I want to do sideline, I want to be a play by play guy on TV." One of my first big breaks was on radio, and I never had any interest in doing radio, but I took that gig because it was in Philadelphia, and to me it was better to be in a major market, and try to work it out that way as opposed to going to, say, somewhere in Montana. At that same time I was able to do TV at a local station in Allentown (Pennsylvania), but I think you have to look big picture and think, the journey is part of the fun too and you'll look back at some of those rejections and think, "I can't believe I doubted myself there."
iNews: One thing about sports broadcasting is you have to really think on your feet. Have you had a situation where you've been sort of a "deer in the headlights" and really had to think on your feet?
Meredith: So, my first TV gig ever, I was either a sophomore or junior in college, and I was just so excited that someone was giving me an opportunity and that I was going to do sidelines for TV. It was a doubleheader, a men's/women's basketball game, they used to have doubleheaders back in the day. While I had done a few things for LaSalle 56 which is now named LaSalle TV where I went to college, I showed up at Stabler Arena (in Bethlehem, PA) that day having never worked in a professional capacity before, and they handed me a microphone, and simply said "When the red light goes on, talk." I kid you not. I don't even think we had IFBs (monitoring systems used in broadcast and radio), so I couldn't hear what the announcers were saying, it was like "Here ya go, kid, have at it." So that was kind of like a "What are we doing here" moment, but you learn fast that way, and I'm kind of glad it happened, because it forced me to think on my feet and be ready and have something to say. Now, would I love to see those tapes? I probably wouldn't, it would probably be very cringeworthy, but it was great experience.
iNews: There are people out there who know what they're interested in doing and know their passions but are struggling to figure out their personal brand and ways that they can project themselves to the world. What advice would you give to someone on how to manifest their interests online, especially on social media?
Meredith: I don't think you need to figure it out all right away, you can find yourself a little bit along the way, and I think that's one of the beauties about the evolution of technology, and how much stuff you have access to that other people might not have access to. You can start a YouTube channel at a very young age, there's so much available to you at your fingertips and I think what's key is to find what you're passionate about, because if you're passionate about it, it will show, whether it's on camera, writing, on radio, whatever you wind up doing the passion will shine through. If it's something that feels like a job that you don't really want or like doing, don't do it. You guys are so young and you have a ton of time to figure it out, and it's okay if you don't have all the answers right now, that's part of the process. You might think that you want to be on-air and find out that you like producing much more and like being behind the scenes and editing more. As far as building a brand, I think you need to be as smart as possible about the decisions that you're making, especially at a young age, knowing now, in the digital world, things stick for a long time, so just make sure what you're posting and talking about, if it follows you, that you're okay with it following you. You guys have access to people, you can send somebody a DM, send someone a Twitter message, it's easier to find email addresses, and doing Zoom calls like these are great for people to work on interviewing skills and get comfortable with the camera and seeing themselves, watching it back and seeing what you could've done differently.
iNews: To build on what you said about Zoom, we've all had to become acquainted with using this platform during the pandemic, and some things that you're used to doing as sort of a routine like pregame and postgame interviews with players and coaches, have had to be transferred to virtual. What, if any, strategies have you used to navigate virtual conversations and communications?
Meredith: Luckily I had a fairly good handle on the technology aspect, I already had a circle light, tripods, I already had some production equipment at my house, so I feel like early in the pandemic I already had a leg up because I had access to it and knowledge on how to use this equipment. I will tell you that there is no substitute for in-person conversation, and I do find that sometimes some stuff isn't lost in translation but it is more difficult to conduct interviews like this, because you do get a better feel when you're looking at the person physically instead of on a screen. But it is what it is, you have to make the best of the situation and try your best to get what you want going into the interview. You have to have an idea in your mind of where you want the interview to go and what you want to achieve from it, if you have that it's not much different than what I had been doing. But, it's just that everyone's internet speed is different, with Zoom it feels like every day is a new adventure, and something always inevitably pops up so you have to be prepared for technical difficulties and almost laugh them off. You can't let every little thing bother you. I'm trying to think about who we had, and I kept freezing, or they kept freezing, or they're not recording on this end, something always happens. It's like, 2020, we're still working, it could be worse.
iNews: What's been the most memorable interview you've done with someone? Aside from this one, of course.
Meredith: This one's definitely number one. No, I would say, and this is what a lot of people point to, unfortunately I've never covered a World Series with the Yankees but there have been some unbelievable moments over the years. If you think about some of the players who've retired while I've been there: Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettite, C.C. (Sabathia) last year, so I was able to do some of those closing interviews and I think the Jeter game when he retired with his final game at Yankee Stadium (where he got a walk-off single to end the game) was just a storybook, movie ending. Like no one's career, one that's so charmed, could end like that, and of course it did for him. His final interview at Yankee Stadium in 2014, I want to say it was September 27th, 2014, I was one of the last interviews that he gave at Yankee Stadium. They had it looped into the loudspeaker, it was funny, I said the first couple words and you could hear people quieting, but as soon as Derek (Jeter) said one word, you could hear a pin drop in the stadium. It got quiet so fast, it was wild to me. Another thing about that game that I found looking back on it, was how the energy at the stadium for such an ordinary game, like, the Yankees had been knocked out of the playoffs, it didn't mean anything. David Robertson was the closer, he was having a really nice year closing and he wound up blowing the save to even give Derek the opportunity to get up to bat again in the bottom of the 9th. There's so many things that had to fall into place for Derek to have that chance, and the fact that it felt like Game 7 of a World Series in there for a meaningless September game, is just wild to me.

Who has the most to fear from C-51? Canadian Muslims
Shahina Siddiqui, President of the Islamic Social Services Association, and Ihsaan Gardee, executive director of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, announce the release of the handbook "United Against Terrorism: A Collaborative Effort Towards A Secure, Inclusive and Just Canada" on September 29, 2014.

This article was originally published by iPolitics.
Just over a month ago, Canadian citizen Benamar Benatta quietly settled his lawsuit against the federal government over the unlawful treatment he suffered in the days immediately after 9/11.
Benatta, an Algerian, spent five years in American prisons because Canadian border officials at Fort Erie, Ont., turned him over to U.S. officials for investigation after he showed up at the border crossing and said he wished to claim refugee status. It took him years to clear his name.
"Canada is a great country but, unfortunately, there are many examples where Canadian officials have dispensed with human rights in the name of national security," Mr. Benatta said after his lawsuit was settled.
"People need to understand a terrible injustice was done to me. I was labelled a terrorist because I happened to be Muslim … That is racial profiling at its worst. These Canadian officials ruined my life without a second thought, and that is really hard to bear."
Benatta's story is yet another cautionary tale that should convince Canadians — and their government — of the need to stop and think before granting even broader powers to law enforcement agencies. Canadian Muslims know that what happened to him could easily happen again — and that they're likely to be the ones paying the price for flaws in the federal government's new and hastily-crafted anti-terror law, C-51.
Justice Dennis O'Connor, overseeing the inquiry into Maher Arar's case back in 2006, said as much. "Given the tendency thus far of focusing national security investigations on members of the Arab and Muslim communities, the potential for infringement on the human rights of innocent Canadians within these groups is higher."
Look beyond these high-profile 'false positive' terrorism cases — which have robbed some Canadians of their reputations and livelihoods, and have cost the taxpayer millions of dollars in compensation in the few instances where the government was held to account — and it's clear there are many more Canadians out there suffering racial profiling, particularly while travelling. Many Canadians are seeing their passports suspended, are being turned away from border crossings or are otherwise being treated unfairly — without full explanations. This little known and humiliating reality was brought into sharp view earlier this year when a Toronto ER physician and his family were denied entry to the U.S. for a planned trip to Disneyland.
Under C-51, Canadian Muslims can expect more, not less, of this sort of discrimination. Even after the Conservative government buckled to pressure to amend the law, Canadians can still be deemed too dangerous to travel by airline and won't be allowed to challenge the "evidence" against them. As lawyer and author Faisal Kutty puts it, Canadian Muslims can be considered "too guilty to fly, but too innocent to charge."
The Arar Inquiry report offered recommendations on how to ensure that the egregious mistakes made by law enforcement discovered by the inquiry would never be repeated. The government has ignored most of them.
Law enforcement agencies already have many tools at their disposal under existing (yet seldom used) anti-terrorism measures. It's up to the federal government to justify the further erosion, or outright suspension, of Canadian rights and freedoms. It has not done so.
Bill C-51 is a reckless attempt to win over an understandably fearful electorate under the pretence of fighting terrorism.
Rather than implementing a new and dangerous security regime that fails to guarantee safety, the government should heed the advice of security experts and leaders who argue that community partnerships are urgently needed to effectively confront the threat of violent extremism. Simply put, we won't be able to spy and arrest our way out of this problem.
What's needed now is a national, comprehensive and well-funded grassroots campaign based on mutual trust, solid research and genuine scholarship. Marginalizing the very Canadians who are on the frontlines of this struggle is worse than poor policy — it's a threat to all of us.

Attainder
guilty, person and bish
ATTAINDER. That extinction of civil rights and capacities which takes Place whenever a person who has committed trea son or felony receives sentence of death for his crime. 1 Steph. Corn. 408 ; 1 Bish. Cr. L. § 641.
Attainder by confession is either by plead ing guilty at the bar before the judges, and not putting one's self on one's trial by a jury, or before the coroner in sanctuary, when, in ancient times, the offender was obliged to abjure the realm.
Attainder by verdict is when the prisoner at the bar pleads not guilty to the indict ment, and is pronounced guilty by the ver dict of the jury.
Attainder by process or outlawry is when the party flies, and is subsequently outlawed. Coke, Litt. 391.
The effect of attainder upon a felon is, in general terms, that all. his estate, real and personal, is forfeited; that his blood is cor rupted, so that nothing passes • by inherit ance to, from, or throlgh him ; 1 Wms. Saund. 361, m ; 6 Coke 63 a, 68 b; 2 Rob.
Eccl. 547; 22 Eng. & Eq. 598; that he cannot sue in a court of justice ; Co. Litt. 130 a. See 1 Bish. Cr. Law, § 641.
In England, by statute 33 & 34 Viet. c. 23, attainder upon conviction, with consequent corruption of blood, forfeiture, or escheat, is abolished.
In the United States, the doctrine of at tainder is now scarcely known, although during and shortly after the Revolution acts of attainder were passed by 'several of the states. The passage of such bills is ex pressly forbidden by the constitution.
Under the Confiscation Act of July 17, 1862, which imposed the penalty of con fiscation of property as a punishment for treason and rebellion, all that could be sold was a right to the property seized, terminat ing with the life of the person for whose offence it was seized; Bigelow v.. Forrest, 9 Wall. (U. S.) 339, 19 L. Ed. 696.
