2Gs Mademoiselle. GIRL POWER CWD STYLE!
CWD has launched its first saddle designed especially for the female morphology, far from all vain discussions on gender theory. The result is a lighter, slimmer saddle adapted to the female pelvis for ever greater performance. The low down on 2Gs Mademoiselle.
Take a 2Gs® saddle. Spend months poring over it in the CWD TECHNOLOGY Laboratory, revising every detail with women in mind, especially the Dynamick® saddle tree. Focus on the comfort of the seat. Continue working, weighing-up, testing. Combine all this with the requirements of sustainable development and aesthetics customization, a slim twist and easy girthing, and 2Gs Mademoiselle is at last ready to make a sensational entrance.
In order to keep her spine straight, a woman has to tip her pelvis further forward than a man, thereby shifting her center of gravity. She therefore sits further forward on her pubic bone which touches the saddle. This position can cause pain in the pubic symphysis. If the saddle is not padded at this level, female riders have to compensate by stooping to find their balance further back on the saddle. 2Gs Mademoiselle frees up the pelvis, making work all the easier. The U-shaped flat seat and use of foam at the front of the saddle and at ischial level perfectly espouse the female morphology to provide unbeatable comfort.
The injected carbon kevlar Dynamick® saddle tree that forms the backbone of the 2Gs saddle has been redesigned to perfectly espouse the female morphology. The performance of the 2Gs Mademoiselle rests in large part upon this light and strong, flexible framework.
In addition to improved comfort for the rider, thewide opening of the Dynamick® saddle tree frees the horse's movement when jumping. Every element of the assembly (stirrup bars, seat etc) is inserted directly onto this framework. Contact is therefore at a maximum.
That's precisely what the new connected 2Gs® saddle and its iJump app invite you to do.
By providing the rider with objective feedback on the sensations experienced when training or competing. Evaluating the quality of the horse's canter and jump when approaching and landing, the regularity of strides, and the symmetry and impetus, not forgetting the speed, the height of the jumps, and especially the locomotive recovery after effort. Detailed, valuable indicators for measuring performance and progress with certitude.
It's official, the Internet of Things now features among the innovations offered by CWD TECHNOLOGY. The result of a lengthy development in partnership with our riders, the new 2Gs® is connected and will revolutionize training and analysis of competition videos. With the iJump app, the data gleaned from the saddle and transmitted via the Cloud to your tablet or smartphone, is analyzed as never before.
This enables highly pertinent variables (impetus, rhythm, speed, regularity, symmetry when jumping, etc) to be synchronized on video to show the horse's performances.
And thanks to a dedicated web platform, all this information can be compared, to enable the progression of work and results to be assessed in an objective fashion. The revolution lies in the connection.
A sensor at pommel-level accurately measures the horse's locomotion.
An antenna at cantle-level provides long-distance communication with the iJump app. An innovative system recharges the device thanks to optimized energy management.
A CWD algorithm analyses the horse's locomotion by detecting occurrences and then calculating the significant parameters of the horse's locomotion. Translating this data into real variables provides numerical data for the sensations experienced by riders by visualizing them on the app.
The iJump app : smart training just a swipe away.
The iJump app, available from the App Store, is a gem of precision and intuition. The app menu enables performances for several horses and riders to be displayed, point by point. After creating and personalizing the account, iJump also offers training advice, in addition to consultations and analyses of rounds. Retrieving and displaying work performances is straightforward.
Training has never been so smart.
LIM France has teamed up with a leading academic research unit, on a private/public partnership basis, to create new expertise with which to innovate within the field of equestrian performance and healthcare.
A program that we are proud to reveal to you here.
CWD VetLab – the first shared laboratory combining a veterinary research unit and a business dedicated to equipment for sports horses and their riders – came into being with the help of the French National Research Agency (ANR). A joint venture along the lines of an economic cluster or innovation center, the strength of which is to bring together all those working within a given field to achieve the best results possible, whatever they may be.
In previous issues of CWDers, we've mentioned the Maisons-Alfort Veterinary School (ENVA) near Paris, as well as the Centre of Imaging and Research on Equine Locomotor Affections (CIRALE), in Goustranville, Normandy. It's with this Equine Biomechanics and Locomotor Pathologies unit that we had the opportunity of setting up the CWD VetLab.
LIM France already had a strong relationship with ENVA and CIRALE, strengthened in recent years by having overseen a number of Masters projects and a doctoral thesis conducted through a CIFRE industrial research agreement which were considered extremely successful at a scientific and innovative level. Outstanding among them was the Saddle In Motion project, which led to the iJump and CWD Connected Concept.
• Acceleration of technology transfer.
capable of transforming these skills into innovative products. The Dynamick® saddle tree for the 2Gs® saddle and the design of the 2Gs Mademoiselle are the direct result of this joint venture, as is the iJump. Tomorrow, it's not only our saddles that will be connected, but also our boots and bridles. CWD VetLab is more than a strategy; it's an outright conviction. And the only way forward, economically-speaking, as far as we are concerned.
The measuring tools developed by the CWD VetLab will nurture, in a synergetic, complementary fashion, new clinical research projects within CIRALE, thereby helping develop new products respectful of the animal's well-being. A bonus for all concerned within the sports horse sector.
LIM France's internal Research and Development unit was created in 2005 by CWD. There are now 11 people in charge of 3D design, rapid prototyping by 3D printer, and computer-aided manufacturing thanks to two centers for machining and complex composite production. Command of the entire leather production chain allows us to design functional prototypes in our workshops as quickly as possible. The work of our doctoral graduate, Pauline Martin, in 2012, enabled us to give structure to this research hub. Subsequently, the company mastered the tools for measuring and analyzing movement and pressure. New approaches are developed every day and plans for research and innovation are forever growing.
You can count on the CWD VetLab to come up with something special for you to share real soon!

Jason Fagone: The Woman Who Smashed Codes @ Literati
Literati is thrilled to welcome journalist Jason Fagone whose new book The Woman Who Smashed Codes explores the life of brilliant codebreaker Elizabeth Smith.
About The Woman Who Smashed Codes:
Joining the ranks of Hidden Figures and In the Garden of Beasts, the incredible true story of the greatest codebreaking duo that ever lived, an American woman and her husband who invented the modern science of cryptology together and used it to confront the evils of their time, solving puzzles that unmasked Nazi spies and helped win World War II
In 1916, at the height of World War I, brilliant Shakespeare expert Elizebeth Smith went to work for an eccentric tycoon on his estate outside Chicago. The tycoon had close ties to the U.S. government, and he soon asked Elizebeth to apply her language skills to an exciting new venture: code-breaking. There she met the man who would become her husband, groundbreaking cryptologist William Friedman. Though she and Friedman are in many ways the "Adam and Eve" of the NSA, Elizebeth's story, incredibly, has never been told.
In The Woman Who Smashed Codes, Jason Fagone chronicles the life of this extraordinary woman, who played an integral role in our nation's history for forty years. After World War I, Smith used her talents to catch gangsters and smugglers during Prohibition, then accepted a covert mission to discover and expose Nazi spy rings that were spreading like wildfire across South America, advancing ever closer to the United States. As World War II raged, Elizabeth fought a highly classified battle of wits against Hitler's Reich, cracking multiple versions of the Enigma machine used by German spies. Meanwhile, inside an Army vault in Washington, William worked furiously to break Purple, the Japanese version of Enigma—and eventually succeeded, at a terrible cost to his personal life.
Fagone unveils America's code-breaking history through the prism of Smith's life, bringing into focus the unforgettable events and colorful personalities that would help shape modern intelligence. Blending the lively pace and compelling detail that are the hallmarks of Erik Larson's bestsellers with the atmosphere and intensity of The Imitation Game, The Woman Who Smashed Codes is page-turning popular history at its finest.
Jason Fagone is a journalist who covers science, sports, and culture. Named one of the "Ten young Writers on the Rise" by the Columbia Journalism Review, he is a contributing writer to the Huffington Post Highline, and writes for a number of outlets, including GQ, Esquire, The Atlantic, the New York Times, Mother Jones, and Philadelphia magazine. He is the author of Ingenious and Horsemen of the Esophagus, and lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

William Rapai: Brewed in Michigan @ Literati
Literati is excited to partner with our neighors at the Arbor Brewing Company to welcome author William Rapai who will be sharing his new book on craft beer Brewed in Michigan.
About Brewed in Michigan
Brewed in Michigan: The New Golden Age of Brewing in the Great Beer State is William Rapai's "Ode on a Grecian Urn"-a discussion of art and art's audience. The art in this case is beer. Craft beer. Michigan craft beer, to be exact. Like the Great Lakes and the automobile, beer has become a part of Michigan's identity. In 2016, Michigan ranked fifth in the number of craft breweries in the nation and tenth in the nation in craft beer production. Craft brewing now contributes more than $1.8 billion annually to the state's economy and is proving to be an economic catalyst, helping to revive declining cities and invigorate neighborhoods.
This book is not a beer-tasting guide. Instead, Rapai aims to highlight the unique forces behind and exceptional attributes of the leading craft breweries in Michigan. Through a series of interviews with brewmasters over an eighteenth-month sojourn to microbreweries around the state, the author argues that Michigan craft beer is brewed by individuals with a passion for excellence who refuse to be process drones. It is brewed by people who have created a culture that values quality over quantity and measures tradition and innovation in equal parts. Similarly, the taprooms associated with these craft breweries have become a conduit for conversation-places for people to gather and discuss current events, raise money for charities, and search for ways to improve their communities. They're places where strangers become friends, friends fall in love, and lovers get married. These brewpubs and taprooms are an example in resourcefulness-renovating old churches and abandoned auto dealerships in Michigan's biggest cities, tiny suburbs, working-class neighborhoods, and farm towns. Beer, as it turns out, can be the lifeblood of a community.
William Rapai lives in Grosse Pointe, Michigan and is the author of two other books: Lake Invaders: Invasive Species and the Battle for the Future of the Great Lakes (Wayne State University Press, 2016) and The Kirtland's Warbler: The Story of a Bird's Fight Against Extinction and the People Who Saved it.
Fiction at Literati: Casey Barrett: Under Water @ Literati
Literati is excited to host author and Oylmpian Casey Barnett to read from and discuss his new novel Under Water.
About Under Water:
Duck Darley should have been a winner. Once a competitive swimmer destined for Olympic gold, he drank away his gilded youth and followed his fraudster father's footsteps into prison. Barely scraping by as an unlicensed private investigator, Duck now chases down cheating spouses for the same Manhattan elite who once viewed him as equal, and drowns bitter memories with whatever fills his glass.
Duck's lost glory days resurface when he's tasked with finding the teenaged sister of a former teammate turned Olympic champion. Privileged Madeline McKay vanished over Labor Day weekend, leaving behind a too-perfect West Village apartment and a promising athletic career of her own. Duck thinks he's hunting for a self-destructive runaway–until Madeline's film student ex is savagely murdered, and the media spins her as the psycho who killed him.
As Duck searches for Madeline, he's plunged back into the dark underbelly of Olympic swimming–a world rife with wild lies and terrible violence. And he soon learns that no matter how hard he tries to escape his past, demons still lurk beneath every surface . . .
CASEY BARRETT is a Canadian Olympian and the co-founder and co-CEO of Imagine Swimming, New York City's largest learn-to-swim school. He has won three Emmy awards and one Peabody award for his work on NBC's broadcasts of the Olympic Games in 2000, 2004, 2006, and 2008.

Cindy Milstein and Jeff Clark: Rebellious Mourning @ Literati
Join us as we are excited to hear authors Cindy Milstein and Jeff Clark share the book Rebellious Mourning, a look at grief's power for social transformation
About Rebellious Mourning:
We can bear almost anything when it is worked through collectively. Grief is generally thought of as something personal and insular, but when we publicly share loss and pain, we lessen the power of the forces that debilitate us, while at the same time building the humane social practices that alleviate suffering and improve quality of life for everyone. Addressing tragedies from Fukushima to Palestine, incarceration to eviction, AIDS crises to border crossings, and racism to rape, the intimate yet tenacious writing in this volume shows that mourning can pry open spaces of contestation and reconstruction, empathy and solidarity. With contributions from Claudia Rankine, Sarah Schulman, David Wojnarowicz, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, David Gilbert, and nineteen others.
Cindy Milstein is the author of Anarchism and Its Aspirations, co-author of Paths toward Utopia: Graphic Explorations of Everyday Anarchism, and editor of the anthology Taking Sides: Revolutionary Solidarity and the Poverty of Liberalism.
In Conversation: Jessica Shattuck and Laura Thomas @ Nicola's Books

Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, New Yorker, Glamour, Mother Jones, Wired, and The Believer, among other publications. A graduate of Harvard University, she received her MFA from Columbia University. She lives with her husband and three children in Brookline, Massachusetts.

New Bill Would Make Amazon, eBay Liable for Counterfeits
The Shop Safe Act aims to make e-commerce companies such as Amazon and eBay liable for any counterfeit products sold on through their online marketplaces.
Matthew Humphries
I've been working at PCMag since November 2016, covering all areas of technology and video game news. Before that I spent nearly 15 years working at Geek.com as a writer and editor. I also spent the first six years after leaving university as a professional game designer working with Disney, Games Workshop, 20th Century Fox, and Vivendi.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/new-bill-would-make-amazon-ebay-liable-for-counterfeits
E-commerce companies such as Amazon and eBay are currently not liable for counterfeit goods sold by third-parties on their platforms, but that could change thanks to newly proposed legislation.
As CNBC reports(Opens in a new window), four House members have co-sponsored the Shop Safe Act(Opens in a new window), which would implement new measures to ensure online marketplaces are better policed and ultimately make the platform owners liable for any counterfeit goods sold.
One of the House members sponsoring the bill, Jerrold Nadler, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, explained, "American consumers increasingly turn to the internet to shop. Counterfeiters have followed consumers, and it is clear more must be done to combat the rising trend in online sales of counterfeit products. Consumers should be able to trust that what they see and purchase online is what they will get, but counterfeiters continue to join platforms with ease and masquerade as reliable sellers in order to infect American households with dangerous and unsafe counterfeit products. The SHOP SAFE Act proposes a set of commonsense measures to tackle the gaps in these platforms' systems and stop counterfeit sales."
The commonsense measures proposed in the bill include establishing trademark liability for companies selling counterfeits, requiring online platforms to "establish best practices to vet sellers to ensure their legitimacy, remove counterfeit listings, and remove sellers who repeatedly sell counterfeits," and enforcing contributory liability against any online marketplace that does not prevent the continued sale of counterfeits by a third-party seller.
eBay to Offer Storage and Shipping Service for Merchants
Amazon Removes Fake Products Promising to 'Kill' Coronavirus
Amazon Opens Smaller, Robot-Filled Warehouses Closer to Cities
If the Shop Safe Act legislation passes, the focus will be placed firmly on the platform owners to properly police their own marketplaces. That would surely cost the platforms more in terms of time, effort, and operational costs, but as trademark lawyer Josh Gerben rightly points out, "Quite frankly it is about time that Congress did something about it because the online marketplaces that exist today have not put consumer safety first."

Aphra Behn-Johnson (Kent, 10 juni 1640 – Londen, 16 april 1689) was een Britse auteur en de eerst bekende vrouw in de Engelse literatuurgeschiedenis die met schrijven in haar levensonderhoud voorzag.

Behn was de dochter van Bartholomew Johnson en Elizabeth Denham. Als kind reisde ze vermoedelijk met haar familie of als gezelschapsdame naar Suriname dat in die tijd in handen van de Britten was. In de Britse kolonie verzamelde ze het materiaal dat ze later in haar bekendste roman Oroonoko verwerkte. In 1658 kwam ze weer terug in Engeland en vermoedelijk in 1664 trouwde ze Mr. Behn, een koopman van Nederlandse of Duitse afkomst, die kort daarop overleed. Over het huwelijk is verder niets bekend. Voor een weduwe zonder veel geld waren er in de 17e eeuw zo'n beetje drie mogelijkheden: opnieuw trouwen, in een klooster gaan of iemands maîtresse worden. Omdat ze - naar eigen zeggen - een huwelijk vanwege het geld als "een vorm van prostitutie" beschouwde, besloot ze om haar eigen geld te gaan verdienen.

Behn was een overtuigd royalist en had banden met het hof van Charles II. In de jaren zestig van de zeventiende eeuw werkte ze als boodschapper of zelfs spion van de koning in de Nederlanden, onder andere in Antwerpen. Ze werd voor haar diensten niet of slecht betaald, en kwam wegens schulden in 1668 in de gevangenis. In 1670 werd haar eerste theaterstuk The Forced Marriage met veel succes uitgevoerd.

Vrouwen waren in het Elizabethaanse tijdperk uitgesloten van het theater. Tijdens de  Restauratie in Engeland vormden ze niet alleen een aanzienlijk deel van het publiek, maar speelden zij als professionele actrices ook de rollen die voordien door mannen werden gespeeld. In de volgende negentien jaar schreef Behn toneelstukken, proza en gedichten en was ze als vertaalster actief. Haar meest populaire stuk, The Rover werd tussen 1703 en 1750 jaarlijks gespeeld.

Haar werken bleven tot het midden in de 18e eeuw geliefd, tot ze plotseling – vanwege de veranderende normen – van het toneel verdwenen. Haar scherpe analyse van de dubbele (huwelijks)moraal en van de "goede zeden" werd het publiek plotseling te veel. Het feit dat ze door een werkende vrouw geschreven waren, werd plotseling een probleem.

Ook in haar eigen tijd had Behn problemen: ze werd in 1682 nog wegens te grote "vrijpostigheid" in haar stuk Like Father, Like Son enige tijd opgesloten.

Haar meesterwerk, de roman Oroonoko over een slaaf in Suriname, werd in de 18e eeuw in het Duits en Frans vertaald en speelde een rol in de anti-slavernijbeweging.

De vrouwenbeweging eert Aphra Behn als een van haar eerste voorvechtsters. Vanaf de jaren zeventig van de twintigste eeuw kregen Behns werken opnieuw waardering van feministische critici en schrijvers.

What was the first synoptic gospel?
Which book of the Gospels was written first?
Did John write the Synoptic Gospels?
Do we know who wrote the Gospels?
Who wrote the Gospel Matthew?
Why was Matthew the first Gospel?
What are the 4 Gospels?
Who wrote the second Gospel?
The first group are the synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The synoptic Gospels are called synoptic from a Latin word, which means "seen together," because the synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke tell many of the same stories, often in the same words, frequently following the same order.
Is Matthew the first Gospel written? The tradition handed down by the Church Fathers regarded Matthew as the first Gospel written. This view of Gospel origins, however, began to be challenged in the late 18th century, when Gottlob Christian Storr proposed in 1786 that Mark was the first to be written.
John's is the only one of the four not considered among the Synoptic Gospels (i.e., those presenting a common view). Although the Gospel is ostensibly written by St. John the Apostle, "the beloved disciple" of Jesus, there has been considerable discussion of the actual identity of the author.
But for more than a century, scholars have generally agreed that the Gospels, like many of the books of the New Testament, were not actually written by the people to whom they are attributed.
IT IS IMPORTANT: Who is the ultimate judge in the Bible?
It has traditionally been attributed to St. Matthew the Evangelist, one of the 12 Apostles, described in the text as a tax collector (10:3). The Gospel According to Matthew was composed in Greek, probably sometime after 70 ce, with evident dependence on the earlier Gospel According to Mark.
Matthew became the most important of all Gospel texts for first- and second-century Christians because it contains all the elements important to the early church: the story about Jesus's miraculous conception; an explanation of the importance of liturgy, law, discipleship, and teaching; and an account of Jesus's life …
The four gospels that we find in the New Testament, are of course, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The first three of these are usually referred to as the "synoptic gospels," because they look at things in a similar way, or they are similar in the way that they tell the story.
Gospel According to Mark, second of the four New Testament Gospels (narratives recounting the life and death of Jesus Christ) and, with Matthew and Luke, one of the three Synoptic Gospels (i.e., those presenting a common view). It is attributed to St. Mark the Evangelist (Acts 12:12; 15:37), an associate of St.

Impeachment Diary
closeOpinion A column or article in the Opinions section (in print, this is known as the Editorial Pages).
Trump just assured his own impeachment
President Trump. (Evan Vucci/AP)
President Trump all but assured his own impeachment Friday night, but not without kicking out two more legs of the defense of him Republicans had been making in the House.
For much of the past week, Republicans in Congress have been demanding that the House majority slow down the impeachment process.
"The issue that we have to deal with going forward is, why the rush?" Rep. Doug Collins (Ga.), the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said this week.
"You set an incredibly short period," Republican witness Jonathan Turley scolded at a hearing this week.
The latest commentary about the Trump impeachment inquiry
"It's the fastest impeachment in history," echoed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.).
And for the past couple of months, Republicans in Congress have been demanding that Trump have the opportunity to defend himself in the proceedings.
"I find it unconscionable that they have not allowed the president to defend himself on the House side," said Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-La.).
"Will he be able to defend himself?" demanded Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
"He has no way to defend himself," said Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio).
But White House counsel Pat Cipollone, in his letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler ((D-N.Y.) on Friday, undermined both complaints: The letter served as a formal answer from Trump refusing the Democrats' invitation for him to defend himself in the House proceedings, and it instructed Democrats to hurry up.
"House Democrats have wasted enough of America's time with this charade. You should end this inquiry now and not waste even more time with additional hearings," it said, adding: "As the president has recently stated: 'If you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can get back to business.'"
Thus did Trump invite the House to move forward expeditiously with impeachment, assured that he would continue to obstruct the investigation, regardless of its length. The House has no option but to accept.

Signal to Syria: Straighten Up
by Daniel Pipes and Gary C. Gambill
https://www.meforum.org/4158/signal-to-syria-straighten-up
After a recent intensive three-hour meeting with Syria's President Bashar Assad, Secretary of State Colin Powell announced some good news: Assad had made "some closures" of terrorist offices openly operating in Damascus. But the next day, Powell switched to the future tense in discussing these closures: "I welcome what [Assad] said he was going to do."
Powell again and again insisted that Assad not just mouth the right words but really shutter the offices of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command: "It's performance that we'll be looking at in the days and weeks and months ahead." Powell had warned Assad of "consequences" should he ignore the U.S. demands. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld reiterated this message: "Words are one thing, actions are another."
But Assad flouted these warnings. "We are still talking" about what to do, he told Newsweek, adding that his closing the offices would be "related" to regaining control over the Golan Heights from Israel (a distant prospect, at best).
The terrorist groups themselves brazenly announced operations as usual, if a touch more discreet. In Beirut, Hamas asserted its office in Syria was open. Representatives of Islamic Jihad boasted, "This is just talk" and "Nothing has changed."
"We heard nothing of that," said one Popular Front official. "No change has occurred in our situation," added a leader of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Several Syrian spokesmen further amplified this attitude. Imad Fawzi Al-Shu'aybi, an analyst, airily dismissed the whole subject of terrorist offices. "I think that talking about these organizations, such as Hezbollah, is symbolic." He even lectured the Americans that if they were serious about democracy, they'd leave these offices open.
Likewise, Mahdi Dakhlallah, editor of the government-run daily paper Al-Baath, scorned Powell's message (the U.S. government "does not have many tools to pressure us") and creatively interpreted the secretary's visit to signify that Washington considers Syria "a party to conduct dialogue with and not to threaten or employ pressure on." He also understood from it that "the role of the Pentagon will diminish in favor of the State Department" (i.e., a softer approach toward Syria will prevail).
Adding a touch of levity, the president of the Syrian Chamber of Commerce and Industry claimed that if Washington imposed economic sanctions on his homeland, Syrians "could rely on other countries, especially Malaysia," to take up the slack.
With terrorist offices open and his regime insouciant, Assad shows a risky contempt for the administration that just overthrew his Baathist neighbor to the east. In fact, there is a reason for this apparent madness – his experience in early 2001.
That's when Powell visited Damascus to complain about Syrian purchases of Iraqi oil in violation of U.N. sanctions, winning what the State Department spokesman called a "direct commitment" from Assad to desist. But the illegal imports continued and even grew. In reaction, Washington not only didn't penalize the Syrians, but soon dropped the entire subject.
To compensate for this mistake, the administration now needs to communicate to Syrian leaders its seriousness of purpose. Fortunately, it has a powerful tool at hand: the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act. Introduced by Reps. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), this mandates economic sanctions should Syria not end its:
support for terrorism;
occupation of Lebanon; and
possession and continued development of weapons of mass destruction.
Should the Assad regime continue these policies, the Engel bill would (among other provisions) ban most U.S. exports to Syria and bar U.S. businesses from operating there. Introduced just a month ago, it already has 85 co-sponsors in the House. Engel tells us he is confident it will pass - unless the administration actively lobbies against it.
Powell has acknowledged using the bill to pressure Syria to make improvements, so logically he should now want to see it enacted into law. It offers him exactly the right mechanism to convince Assad & Co. that they need to make fast, deep, and lasting changes.
Or else the squeeze will begin.

June 12, 2003 update: In remarks published by As-Safir, William Burns, U.S. assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, stated that Damascus is still not fulfilling promises made to Secretary of State Powell: "Until now we have not seen enough changes that allow us to say the Syrian regime is taking into account strategic developments in the region. We don't understand how Syria can say it supports the peace process while continuing to openly support terrorist organizations that try with every means to destroy it. … We don't understand their attitude toward the offices of terrorist groups in Syria, nor the arms shipments to Hezbollah."
Sep. 19, 2007 update: Bashshar continues to make error-prone and provocative moves. Here is David Schenker on his record:
Policies pursued by the Asad regime, particularly since 2003 -- from Iraq, to Lebanon, to the Palestinian Authority -- have been highly provocative. Syria under Bashar has actively worked to undermine stability in four of five neighboring countries. And now, revelations about the Syrian nuclear program threaten to ignite a war with Israel.
Jan. 30, 2014 update: David Schenker further updates Assad's record in "Syria Cheats," where he argues that the Syria regime's "long history of reneging on promises and legal obligations does not bode well for full implementation of the chemical weapons deal."

She's passionate about this cause.
When she's not making music history or dishing out excellent advice to fans, Rihanna's a fierce education activist. Last year, she started a scholarship for international students to attend college in the U.S. In January, she went to Malawi to teach kids math and raise money for the Global Partnership for Education, where she serves as an ambassador. The following month, Harvard named her Humanitarian of the Year. Her most recent humanitarian act? Urging world leaders to commit to funding education in developing countries at July's G20 Summit.
Over the past few days, she's tweeted at Argentina's President Mauricio Macri, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, France's President Emmanuel Macron, and Germany's spokesman for the Federal Government Steffen Seibert to ask them to "#FundEducation," Buzzfeed reports.
Two of them responded that they've got her back.
121 million children and teens around the world are currently without an education, according to the Global Partnership for Education. To fix this, Rihanna's hoping to get G20 leaders to commit $3.1 billion in total to the organization.

Q: Python3: Cannot catch stdout of subprocess running `auto-apt -ysi run` I want to match lines start with Install: from the output of auto-apt -ysi run cmake .. (which runs cmake with auto-apt in simulation mode). I could get all stdout or stderr of this command except the lines I want...
Sample output (manual run):
zhangysh1995@ubuntu-zhangyushao:~/tmp/project/OpenRaider/cbuild$ auto-apt -ysi run cmake ..
Entering auto-apt mode: cmake ..
Exit the command to leave auto-apt mode.
Install:universe/devel/cmake-curses-gui file:/usr/bin/ccmake    by:cmake ..
-- Setting build type to 'Debug' as none was specified.
CMake Error: Could not open file for write in copy operation /home/zhangysh1995/tmp/project/OpenRaider/cbuild/CMakeFiles/git-data/grabRef.cmake.tmp

What I get (subprocess.check_output):
Entering auto-apt mode: cmake ..
Exit the command to leave auto-apt mode.
-- Setting build type to 'Debug' as none was specified.
CMake Error: Could not open file for write in copy operation /home/zhangysh1995/tmp/project/OpenRaider/cbuild/CMakeFiles/git-data/grabRef.cmake.tmp

This line is missing from stdout from my script:

Install:universe/devel/cmake-curses-gui file:/usr/bin/ccmake
  by:cmake ..

Code:
def runSim():
    output = ''
    results = ''

    try:
        process = subprocess.run("auto-apt -ysi run cmake ..", stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
                                         stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True)
        # fix: cannot catch `Install:xxx` here
        output = process.stdout.decode('utf-8')
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
        output = e.output
        # print(output)

    for line in output.splitlines():
        line = line
        if line.startswith("Install:"):
            results += line + ', '

    for pkg in results.split(','):
        print(pkg, end=' ')

My question is: could subprocess.check_output() get all stdout of a subprocess? If yes, is my code correct? If no, what could do to get the lines I want? (I think no because this command could open another subprocess of itself.)

Nescafe adds variety to at-home coffee
The brand moves beyond the "instant" label with new campaigns capitalizing on consumers making more drinks themselves.
By Daniel Calabretta
For some, coffee is more than just a beverage that helps them kick-start their day. Some turn to coffee to relax, unwind and have a little "me time," looking to indulge in crafted, specialty cups of java.
According to Carm DaSilva, marketing director for beverages at Nestle Canada, Nescafé had a product range that was perfectly suited for that. It launched instant specialty drinks like lattes, cappuccinos and mochas under its Gold brand about three years ago. But Nescafé didn't put a lot of focus on the Gold brand at the time, DaSilva says, and there was little customer awareness.
"When we actually showed them the product and they saw it, they couldn't believe how fast and easy it was to get an authentic cappuccino or latte," DaSilva says. She adds that Nescafé knew specialty coffee was growing in the out-of-home segment and that there was an opportunity here. "Out-of-home shops have been meeting that need for a special, relaxing 'me time.' But there are times when consumers don't want to leave the comfort of their home."
Nescafé's Gold brand will be highlighted as one of two campaigns the coffee brand is launching this month. One of the spots shows a barista serving a woman a cappuccino, before revealing them to be a couple who made the beverage in their own home.
DaSilva says part of the objective for the Gold campaign is to build awareness for the fact that there are specialty beverages beyond the basic cup of instant coffee, showing people they can add an upscale "specialty coffee occasion" to their week through a format that is easy to make at home.
The second campaign features Nescafé's Rich brand – the first work showing the product line's shift from instant to single serve coffee. The spot shows a man visiting a friend, getting him to return the single-serve coffee maker he lent out, as the Nescafé instant coffee he is a fan of is now available in pods.
DaSilva describes Nescafé Gold as being slightly more indulgent than a quick morning cup of coffee. Nescafé Rich instant coffee, meanwhile, has often been associated with "consistency, quality and convenience," DaSilva says. With more convenience-focused drinkers increasingly turning to other formats, she says it made sense to extend the brand into single serve. The strategy behind the Rich campaign is for Nescafé to make it apparent that it's a coffee brand, not just an "instant" coffee brand.
Despite COVID-19 forcing consumers to drink most, if not all, of their coffee at home, DaSilva says the pandemic didn't have a huge impact on the strategy for the campaigns. While it may have made them more relevant, she says in-home coffee consumption had already been trending upwards.
One impact the pandemic has had is that in-store displays, activations and sampling for the products had to be cancelled, and replaced with an at-home sampling program. Given the reaction consumers have when trying the products for the first time – experience taste and craft not typically associated with instant coffee – driving trial is an important goal of both campaigns.
Millennials and out-of-home consumers who enjoy an espresso-based beverage are the target for Nescafé's Gold specialty products, whereas the Rich campaign is attempting to bring in consumers who already use single-serve coffee makers.
The Nescafé Gold Specialty campaign will appear on TV, digital video, social media and Amazon until July 5. The creative for Rich will run on national TV in Canada from May 25 until July 19. Both campaigns were led by Colorado-based agency WorkInProgess.

I finally gave my talk about my MSc project today at an institutes seminar. The title "Genetic factors associated with radio-iodine uptake in mice" attracted a few peoples interest, and after I finished my talk they started a discussion about the link between radioiodine uptake in the fetal thyroid gland and the risk to develop thyroid cancer later in life.
I had to tell them that at least in the mouse model that we studied together in your lab, there was not such a simple link. Radioiodine uptake and pharmacokinetic are determined by genetic factors, but the long term cancer risk is obviously governed by other genes. And the subtle differences between different mouse strains in their isotope retention in thyroid seems to be only a minor determinant in cancer risk. Other genes or their variants are obviously more important, but we have not found them yet.
Most colleagues assumed that there must be a direct linear connection between isotope uptake or thyroid dose and cancer risk. Only a professor from human genetics department told people they should start to "think outside their box". I did not knew this phrase before, therefore I checked it in Google. And I came across an interesting research paper in a psychological journal. The authors of the new paper were inspired by metaphors about creativity found in boardrooms to movie studios to scientific laboratories around the world and previous linkages established between mind and body.
Want to think outside the box? Try actually thinking outside of a box. In a study to be published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, researchers had students think up solutions to problems while acting out various metaphors about creative thinking and found that the instructions actually worked.
Enjoy your day, and remember there are not only cages that restrict our physical freedom, but also boxes which keep our inspiration and phantasy down.
Thanks for the nice thoughts. I printed out this last sentence from you and sticked it on my memory board. It is there together now with a sentence by Oscar Wilde: "We all live in a cage, but there are only a few of us whocan see the stars". Of course you are one of those few.


Apple is set to take the stage on Thursday, October 16, 2014 at their main campus in Cupertino. Referred to as the Townhall, it serves as a smaller location for special events.
This will be the final event of the year with a couple of new products and surprises to be unveiled. The venue selection is on the complete opposite side of the spectrum compared to their September Event that was held just over a month ago. The Flint Center attracted thousands of attendees to be a part of the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch announcements. A smaller crowd in the hundreds will gather this time to see what Apple has in line for the rest of the year. The holidays are just around the corner and consumers are waiting to see what the big ticket items will be to purchase for themselves or as gifts.
The next generation iPad is planned to be the main highlight of this event. Internally named as the iPad Air 2, it will feature a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, NFC for Apple Pay, and possibly an iPhone 6 related design. Considering that the iPad Air was the first design change since the iPad 2, it will be interesting to see if they revise it again so quickly. The only way it will make sense is if the iPad Air accessories are compatible with the new model. Tech specs will include a modified 64-bit A8X processor, 2GB of RAM, an enhanced camera system, and the same storage reconfiguration as the iPhone 6. The processor could be upgraded to quad-core, as all previous models have only been dual-core. While this hasn't limited the iPad in performance, applications and features in the near future may require it. A unique characteristic revealed by leaked parts lead to the mute switch being removed.
The iPad Mini will also see a refresh, featuring the same design change if the iPad Air adopts it. Considering that the Retina iPad Mini has the same resolution as the full-size iPad, the same internal upgrades will apply. The long-rumoured 12″ iPad Pro may see the light of day at this event, although all reports are saying it has been delayed into 2015. This product will branch out into the multi-window functionality that has been recently implemented into devices from competitors. A new release of iOS 8 could integrate this feature into current models, but may be limited to the new generation because of hardware capabilities. iOS 8.1 will be mentioned that includes Apple Pay alongside other small refinements and additions. These new iPads should be released on Friday, October 24.
The last major reveal will be with the Mac platform. New minor refreshes are planned for the standard iMac lineup, but may not be announced at this event. The caption on the invite leads industry experts to believe that it's referring to new Mac categories. The Mac 30th anniversary image shows an exact replica of the coloured Apple logo. There are a two key areas where the Mac could be reinvented. The first is a Retina enabled iMac, which has been hinted at in OS X Yosemite's system files. A 12″ Retina Macbook Air has also been in the works for some time now and could be revealed at this event. The second option is an overhauled Mac Mini, as it hasn't seen an update since October of 2012. I had envisioned a redesign similar to the new Mac Pro when it was unveiled last year.
Other than the Apple HDTV, there are no more long-awaited rumoured surprises left. It will certainly be an event to remember with just the products listed above. The iPhone 6 has smashed records since it's release less than a month ago. Apple has proved that they're focused now more than ever to surprise customers with amazing products.
A live stream of the event has been confirmed for 10AM PST or 1PM EST over at Apple's Live Events page. Join us after the event for a full recap of all the new products announced.

Tips For Kicking Old Age To The Curb!
Growing older isn't a choice, but the condition of your body and mind is something you can control. Learning how to age more slowly and live a longer life can be made easier by implementing the tips provided here. There are plenty of happy years ahead of you if you choose to follow the advice in this article.
To keep wrinkles away, stop frowning. Although it seems weird, it really works. Distract yourself when you find yourself frowning by pinching your arm skin instead. It may help you to break that bad frowning habit.
Creating and maintaining healthy relationships is important to healthy growing older. Being active in your community has been shown to increase lifespan. For greater benefits from social interactions, focus on intimacy with the people you can trust.
Stop frowning if you want to avoid wrinkles. It sounds strange, but it's the truth. You can pinch yourself to make sure you stop. Over time, you should be able to break this unattractive habit.
TIP! If you are worried about aging, stop focusing on the numbers in your life. You will drive yourself crazy obsessing over your age, height and weight.
Learning new things is one of the keys to be healthy in your getting older process. The willingness to learn is important at any age.
Get enough sleep. Individuals who get between seven and nine full hours of sleep nightly often feel more relaxed as a result of balanced hormone levels. If you are sleep deprived you will become agitated, easily irritated and feel just plain lousy.
Everyone gets older. At some point, the elderly are no longer able to care for themselves. Sometimes, it is best to consider moving to a nursing home or an assisted living facility. Each of these options offers some help with daily living without completely robbing people of their autonomy. Here you will get quality care from licensed professionals when it becomes too difficult to take care of yourself.
It is important for people to maintain social interactions as they age. Volunteering in your community has been linked to a longer, healthier life. Focusing on those who you can emotionally depend on is the best part of social interactions.
TIP! Be sure to keep learning new things and this will keep your mind working. Older people are wiser, so you should work on furthering your intelligence as you grow.
When you age, you often do not want to leave the home because it is safe. Make your home your own space so that you feel comfortable there after a very hard day. Home will be a place where you will feel more at ease.
Leave the friends that are upset along and find ones that are positive. If you're around people who laugh and smile a lot, you will do the same. This can help you to age well and keep you feeling vibrant. Surround yourself with people who encourage you to laugh and smile. Don't hang around those who stress you out or cause you to feel depressed.
Have fun with your life! You need to have the flexibility to enjoy freedoms in every day life, so do the things you need to do to make it happen. Fill your days with the people and things you love.
Eating right is the smartest thing you can do in order to slow down the aging process. A balanced diet consists of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and foods that contain unsaturated fat. By doing this, you will have all the nutrients you need.
TIP! Be a positive presence! Making other people feel happy is extremely rewarding. Joy is a free, infinite resource, so spread it around freely and experience the benefits.
One simple way to reduce your risk of heart disease is to eat less red meat and start eating more fish. Some of the ingredients of red meat can clog your arteries, leading to heart conditions. Plaque build-up is one of the leading causes to both heart attacks and strokes. Fish oil helps to remove the cholesterol from your body, which lowers your risk of developing these issues.
Growing Older doesn't need to be as negative as many people think. It is possible to have a great life if you take care of your brain and your body. Try to fold these ideas into your life. Your advancing years can be the most rewarding of your life.
It's important to get enough sleep each night. Depending on your own body, most people need between seven and nine hours of quality sleep each day. Conditions like depression and heart-related illnesses can be linked to a lack of regular sleep.
TIP! As you start getting older, it is important that you properly care for your eyes. Your vision will worsen a little as you age, but regular eye exams will help catch diseases like glaucoma and cataracts before they become a big problem.
Is a raw food diet your key to fighting aging?

DTU Skylab Digital offers a new innovation competition, Digi DiveX – AI in healthtech—a four-day innovation course. The competition is the first activity in a range of new initiatives where DTU Skylab Digital will attract digital talent and connect players across disciplines to create innovation and provide a good framework for entrepreneurial projects based on digital technologies.
The Digi DiveX final featuring pitches from the participating projects was held on 10 October when mentors, case givers, and key innovation people from the Capital Region of Denmark and the Danish Business Authority were present.
The panel of judges consisted of Peter Jensen CTO of Cellari, Stine Mølgaard Sørensen COO of Radiobotics, and Ben Cahill, Innovation Officer and Head of DTU Skylab Digital.
DTU awards first prize of DKK 100,000 to student-developed digital dialogue tool for first-time parents.
Digital technologies such as machine learning and digital image analysis must be actively employed to ensure that parents of newborns have access to information about acute problems. This is the idea behind the first innovation project which was awarded DTU Skylab Digital's prize of DKK 100,000 to develop digital solutions for healthcare professionals.
The project was realized as part of an innovation competition Digi DiveX—AI in healthtech—a four-day innovation course. The competition, held for the first time at DTU Skylab in October, stems from a collaborative AI entrepreneurial initiative between the Capital Region of Denmark, DTU Science Park, DTU Compute, DTU Skylab, and Nordic AI. The entrepreneurial initiative aims to strengthen existing AI solutions—or generate new start-ups that use artificial intelligence (AI) in the healthcare sector.
The winning project—'Nyfødt' (Newborn)—was developed by four DTU students and a student from the IT University of Copenhagen. The project outlines a website solution that will provide digital information on uncritical post-childbirth issues, thus easing the workload of midwives who currently answer some of the many questions posed by first-time parents.
Machine learning and image recognition
The 'Newborn' solution is based on machine learning, where parents are either referred to more general information online - or to a midwife - if their problem is deemed acute. The digital data processing is complemented by information from the child's and parents' records and is included in the presentation of their case, so they don't have to start afresh when they speak to the midwife.
Newborn project participant Lasse B. Alsbirk who is studying Data Science at the IT University, explains that the solution will build on the experiences that form part of digital communication - e.g. from apps like Vivino, which is based on image recognition.
"Image recognition will be a powerful tool—e.g. in determining whether an infant has a type of diarrhoea for which parents need to seek urgent help. Other solutions may involve using existing data from the Health Platform actively in the information to parents and midwives," says Lasse B. Alsbirk.
In the ongoing work of developing Newborn, the five students can use the DKK 100,000 from Digi DiveX to purchase staff hours from the Capital Region of Denmark and to cover other expenses.
Cases from healthcare
The Digi DiveX contest featured a total of 25 digital innovators—mainly computer science students with competences in AI development. The participants, who were split into five teams and assigned to three different clinician cases from different departments in the Capital Region of Denmark, were then required to develop their own specific AI-based solutions.
Through contact with the Capital Region of Denmark's Centre for Human Resources, a 'New Parents' case was identified at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Hvidovre Hospital. Another case for digital monitoring of patients' diet and nutrition was provided by the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Clinical Research at Copenhagen University Hospital, which has premises at Hvidovre Hospital. And the third case on the use of AI for preventive healthcare came from the New North Zealand Hospital.
DTU Skylab's three collaborators who had delivered cases participated actively in the workshops and maintained regular dialogue with the groups. In addition, AI/health start-ups acted as mentors, sources of inspiration, and served as an assessment panel for the solutions. Nordic AI made fielded mentors from Corti and Unumed. DTU Skylab provided inspiration in the form of presentations by the founders of renowned start-ups such as Cellari, Measurelet ApS, and Radiobotics. And DTU Health Tech supplied a postdoc in health data as a mentor.
