The Systemic Effects of Racial Profiling on People of Color
Being stopped by a police officer is definitely not a great way to end the day, especially if it's just for broken taillights.
By Ellyot Chen, Pasadena City College
Cruising the edge of the night, you're enjoying the evening breeze as you listen to the radio replay the same songs over and over again. At the same time, you're feeling exhausted and relieved that you're almost home — until you see the flashing blue and red lights in your rearview mirror.
Immediately and while profusely sweating, you stop your car, believing that no traffic violations have occurred, or at the very least you hadn't been speeding, right?
Lowering your side window, you wait for the police officer to come over and tell you what's the matter. The police officer saunters up and mentions that one of your taillights is broken. He doesn't give you a ticket and you say your goodnights. Shortly after, you see a similar car with a broken taillight driving past you, but not one police car goes after them.
Imagine a policeman stopping you every day for other trivial, likely false reasons such as a broken brake light or malfunctioning headlights. Unfortunately, this incident is not new for people of color, considering that deterring the practice of racial profiling — the use of race or ethnicity as grounds for suspecting someone of having committed an offense — remains an ongoing challenge.

Undoubtedly, the rise of racial profiling is embedded within the nation's history of racism, particularly alongside the stereotype that African-Americans are more likely to be criminals than any other ethnicity.
The Debate Over Policing: Reform, Defund or Abolish?
Although racial profiling violates the U.S. Constitution — specifically the Fourth Amendment that promises its citizens "the right…to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures" — racial profiling continues to thrive on the streets and is indicative of the lasting prominence and institutionalization of racism.
A couple of years ago, The Atlantic reported that Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina was stopped seven times by law-enforcement officers. He recounts, "I do not know many African-American men who do not have a very similar story to tell no matter their profession, no matter their income, no matter their disposition in life."
Because numerous African-Americans have several similar accounts of being stopped by the police, it directly suggests that police officers specifically target this specific group, thus lumping physical descriptions together and dehumanizing them overall.
Regardless of their nature, intellect, class or authority, African-Americans, along with other people of color such as Mexican-Americans, are frequently stopped by law-enforcement officers due to prejudiced training. As surprising as it may sound, these ethnic groups have all faced the same kind of discrimination at one time or another down the road.
For instance, even Trevor Noah, host of "The Daily Show," has been frequently stopped by the police officers. His South African identity does not exempt him from racial profiling; he is only another black face waiting to be criminalized.
Sen. Scott also mentioned that one of his staff members drove a Chrysler 300, "'a nice car, but not a Ferrari. He was pulled over so many times here in D.C. for absolutely no reason other than for driving a nice car. He sold that car to stop being targeted.'"
Clearly, roaming the streets with a nice car means you're a danger to the community. In this case, Scott's staff member notably went to great lengths by selling his beloved car in order to stop law-enforcement officers from tailing him.
Losing his mode of transportation was a sacrifice that he had to make in order to ensure his protection from being the next Philando Castile: the case of an innocent neighborhood man who was stopped for having broken brake lights and was brutally shot in front of his family.

Unfortunately, countless African Americans are stopped by police officers for trivial and pathetic reasons every day. Not only are they delayed from arriving at their desired destination, but they also become filled with fear, anxiety, anger, humiliation and shame afterward for being pulled over at a higher rate than any other minority.
'Lovecraft Country' Shows the Horror of Both Ghosts and Racism
Several states still have different stances on racial profiling; even worse, some actually allow racial profiling despite its infringement of the U.S. Constitution. For instance, the Oklahoma Watch recently reported that 58 complaints regarding alleged racial profiling have been filed since 2008.
Most of the complaints have been dismissed since the internal investigation could not find any substantial evidence. Generally, in Oklahoma, the police officers are not required to record or publish the data on who they stop and for what alleged offense the drivers committed. By recording the data, there would be solid identification and evidence that would indicate racial profiling.
In the same report, senior pastor of East Sixth Christian Church Jesse Jackson Jr. claims, "I think just about everyone in my congregation has a racial profiling story, but I don't think many people make complaints because it is just part of the social fabric of our lives. We expect to be stopped and profiled for no reason."
Within the state of Oklahoma, African-Americans being profiled has become a tradition, or rather, a routine that they unquestionably have to follow and accept, which is quite disheartening and baffling since law-enforcement officers are instantly assuming that they are criminals solely based on the color of their skin.
Recently, the U.S. News reported that the Racial Profiling Bill, the proposal that would have shielded African-Americans as well as people of color from being stopped by law-enforcement officers, died shortly after being introduced in the Alabama Legislature.
'Nice White Parents' Podcast Looks at School Segregation
All Sen. Rodger Smitherman and House Speaker Mac McCutheon wanted was a fair ballot on the bill, but they didn't even get that due to the mixed opposition and time constraints.
Evidently, the bill had successfully made its way through the stalling process; however, without the voting process, the voices of many people of color are once again silenced. Nevertheless, despite the plummet of progress, the battle is still not over, but its lengthening has certainly not disrupted the everyday flow of injustice faced by people of color.
To this day, racial profiling continues to be a flagrant struggle among people of color across the nation, even though it infringes upon basic moral grounds as well as the U.S. Constitution. It is incredibly discriminatory that people of color had and still have to face unnecessary encounters with police officers who exercise such an atrocious practice.
Ultimately, if police officers continue to racially profile, they are doing nothing but preserving racism in this nation.

CONWAY, S.C. — Illinois State coach Dan Muller decided to switch things up defensively and told his Redbirds to keep attacking off the dribble through contact — even if there were no fouls called — against a physical power-conference opponent.
Turns out, it was the perfect plan to beat South Carolina in the relocated Puerto Rico Tip-Off.
Milik Yarbrough had 18 points in an all-around performance to help the Redbirds beat the Gamecocks 69-65 in Thursday's tournament opener, earning a big win for a Missouri Valley Conference program that lost four starters from a 28-win team last year.
The Redbirds (1-1) frustrated the cold-shooting Gamecocks with an active zone defence that they barely ran during a high-scoring season-opening loss to Florida Gulf Coast. Muller said his team was so bad defensively that he probably should've used it more.
Illinois State led by as many as 12 points before halftime and saw the Gamecocks rally to twice tie it after halftime before holding on down the stretch. Evans hit a free throw with 4 seconds left to make it a two-possession game and seal the win.
Hassani Gravett had 10 points, nine rebounds and five assists for the Gamecocks (2-1), who shot just 30 per cent.
The tournament was set for the coastal city of Fajardo, Puerto Rico, but damage from Hurricane Maria forced it to Coastal Carolina in Conway.
Illinois State: The Redbirds responded to the Florida Gulf Coast loss with a tough performance. Yarbrough, who sat out last year as a transfer from Saint Louis, was a particularly frustrating matchup for South Carolina with his ability to attack off the dribble to go with six rebounds and six assists.
South Carolina: The Gamecocks returned just a quarter of their scoring from last year's surprise Final Four team, so Martin knew it would take some time for this group to reshape its offence. But South Carolina never effectively attacked the zone and missed the open looks the Gamecocks did have, including going just 9 of 32 (28 per cent) from behind the arc.
Evans said the Redbirds were ready to "drive through contact." It got them to the line 39 times in a whistle-heavy game, 17 coming from Yarbrough.
Yarbrough and Phil Fayne (14 points, 10 rebounds) didn't start for Illinois State because they were late for a team breakfast Wednesday.
Illinois State: The Redbirds will play Boise State, which beat UTEP on a late 3-point play, in Friday's winner's bracket.
South Carolina: The Gamecocks will play UTEP in Friday's consolation bracket.

Guide to Eat
ing Out
by Larry North
AS PROFESSIONAL SALESPEOPLE, we often eat on the go, or take clients out to dine. Before you go out and start special ordering, make sure you know what you're eating. It's a little counterproductive to go into an Italian restaurant and order a creamy pasta dish such a fettuccini Alfredo and say, "And make that low fat." No chef can take the cream out of creamy pasta. The waiter will respect your request more if you ask for pasta dressed only in tomato, basil and garlic or perhaps with a little wine.
Here's another common mistake: You sit down for breakfast in a restaurant and proudly ask for an egg white omelet. But you don't specify how you want it prepared. Yes, you will get your egg whites all right, but the omelet may be swimming in butter and covered with cheese. You end up with an omelet that has thirty grams of fat! The lesson? Be specific. If you ask for an egg white omelet without cheese and prepared with no butter or oil, then you have just brought the fat content of that omelet down to almost zero. Don't simply ask for grilled chicken. When you order fish or chicken, ask for it to be cooked with lemon juice or lime juice as an alternative to oil or butter. You will never feel worse than when you order what you think is a low fat piece of grilled chicken and learn later that it is swamped with fat, all because the cook added four to five tablespoons of cooking oil. You have to specify!
Finally, if you're at a restaurant or bakery and you see certain claims about how many calories are in one of their dishes, be careful. I'll never forget a nutritional analysis in a New York magazine of twenty bagels bought at an variety of shops around the city. Although the bagels were advertised as being around 200 calories each, the magazine discovered that the average calorie count was more than twice that! Don't necessarily trust a restaurant or bakery when it tells you on the menu how many calories are in one if its dishes. The magazine found one bakery advertising a fat-free muffin. When analyzed, the muffin contained 750 calories and forty five grams of fat. The baker later explained away his false advertising by saying, "I didn't want people feeling guilty about eating my food!"
A restaurant might claim on the menu that its food has only a certain number of calories, but I wouldn't accept those claims at face value. It's one thing for the restaurateur to put down some calorie count on the menu. It's another thing entirely for the kitchen staff to try to follow those calorie guidelines. In a future issue of Transaction World Magazine, I will give you a list of types of restaurants from french to steak houses, even fast food, and what to look for and ask for when ordering your meal.

Northwestern Medicine opens Polsky Urologic Cancer Institute

Avi Varghese, Reporter
Northwestern's Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center announced on Jan. 7 the opening of the Polsky Urologic Cancer Institute, dedicated to the research and care of urologic cancers.
The Institute was funded by a $10 million donation from Michael Polsky, the founder and CEO of clean energy firm Invenergy. Polsky's name is also attached to the University of Chicago's Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, to which he has contributed $50 million.
The Institute will treat urologic or genitourinary cancers, which include bladder, kidney, prostate and testicular cancer — each of which can create unique complications. Led by Dr. Edward Schaeffer, the chair of the Urology department in the Feinberg School of Medicine, the Institute brings together an interdisciplinary group of urologists, medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists to target these cancers. It will also provide patients with access to genetic counselors and nurse practitioners.
Specialists at the Institute are already frequent collaborators under the larger umbrella of the Lurie Cancer Center, said Dr. Maha Hussain, the deputy director of the Center. She and Schaeffer emphasized that the Institute is an "optimization" of ongoing operations through the creation of a urologic cancer-focused group as well as a new wellspring of funding.
"It doesn't change what we do. … The Polsky Institute is one of the umbrellas that we are working in," Hussain said. "Our mission is to make things better for humans, and that's going to happen through excellence in patient care, research and services. [The Institute] brings us even more together, and it has the resources which enhance those different aspects."
The team expects to move into a planned "collaborative space" by September, Hussain said.
Students who work with doctors and researchers involved in the Institute may collaborate on internal projects, Hussain added. Schaeffer said the opening of the Institute will improve the educational experiences of students who are headed for careers in clinical urology and urologic oncology.
"If we make our enterprise that much better of a place for our patients, and more patients come with complex disease states, the students will benefit significantly," Schaeffer said.

The Straits Times recently reported that an extensive study in Singapore, revealed that an average 12 year old in Singapore spends 61/2 hours on screens per day. Similar stats emerge from the US and UK. Children go online to use search engines, listen to music, watch videos and play video games, the study found.
The repercussions of too much screen-time on health and emotional well being of kids and adults is known; lack of focus, impact on social skills, problems reading emotions, less time spent outdoors, virtually distorted reality and above all, addiction. Children are exposed to online dangers, which include cyber bullying, online grooming, inappropriate content and fake news.
Parents need to educate their children on responsible usage of devices and set reasonable limits on their screen time, so they have time for other activities.

Silambattam Review
Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 19:56
Starring: Silambarasan, Sneha, Sana Khan, Prabhu, Santhanam
Direction: Saravanan
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Production: Lakshmi Movie Makers Limited
Silambattam is about retribution, an oft repeated theme in Tamil cinema and a very regular element of Silambarasan starrers. It is all about the feuds within a family that take on unmanageable proportions and result in death and despair for many. An extended family in a village is leading a happy and united existence. The head of the family is a much loved man in the village and in his last days he leaves a large chunk of his property for the welfare of his villagers. Most of the family is happy to abide by the decision of their godfather, but there are factions that believe that the old man has shown more largesse than is agreeable and decide to oppose it. Push comes to shove and the inevitable sickle takes center stage. As many members of the family are killed, some of them make off with their lives, never to return. But destiny brings back one boy to his roots and when he learns of what has passed, then retribution is the only thing on his mind.
The director has admitted that the plot is not novel. Well, we don't expect a path breaker either. The director has handled the story and screenplay and while it cannot be denied that the plot and the script do show signs of promise and potential, the ultimate realization has been found wanting. Somehow, one gets the feeling of an opportunity that has been wasted. The narration is not sound, though it is difficult to put one's finger on exactly what the weaker points are, lack of application on the director's part seems to be the culprit here.
Silambarasan has turned in a whole hearted performance. Appearing in two roles for the second time in his career, he makes good use of the scope provided. His role as the villager in the 'flashback' mode must be appreciated, especially his combination with Sneha who also has managed to make an impact with a limited role. Their chemistry is surprisingly good, with machan machan song having come out really well. Sana Khan, paired with the present day Silambarasan, has been largely sidelined by the main plot. Then there is the seasoned Prabhu, the able Kishore, the veterans Nedumudi Venu, Nirosha, Yuvarani etc. But in spite of having such a cast at his disposal, the director has failed to make an impact in many scenes. The talent of these artistes cannot be doubted, the fault has to be with way they were utilized. Santhanam and Karunas shoulder the comedy in the flashback and current modes respectively. There are certain lewd and at times unsavory dialogues that have been passed off as comedy, definitely in bad taste. But Karunas salvages pride for the comedy department with interestingly devised comic situations which blend in with the plot.
Highlights of the movie are undoubtedly Silambarasan's dance skills and the foot tapping tunes. Silambarasan does not disappoint, nor does Yuvan. The Machan Machan song in Ilaiyaraja's voice is a delight while 'Where's the party' is a typically trendy pub number, thoroughly enjoyable. The action sequences too have been crafted well. But one gets the feeling that director Saravanan has relied too heavily on these elements to carry the weight of the movie, while the execution of a fairly good plot has left a lot to be desired though there are certain scenes (few and far in between) that reflect the director's ability. Saravanan fails to join the list of cinematographers turned successful directors.
Overall, Silambattam is not a bad product, but it could have been a lot better had it not been for the lackluster handling. At the box office, Silambarasan fans might not feel let down by the content and regular additives, but when it comes down to the others, it's a bit of touch and go. Saravanan, Silambarasan and the rest of the Silambattam team will have to wait and watch.
Verdict – Silambattam – Nothing special

What Have They Been Upto?

How #MLSIsBack is shaping up for Orlando City
When and where will the tournament get underway?
MLS Is Back will be taking place in our own city (well just outside of it), at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Walt Disney World Resort in neighbouring Lake Buena Vista beginning on July 8th.
So what exactly is this tournament?
The tournament, which will be played behind closed doors, encapsulates a unique way for MLS to resume its 25th season under these unprecedented circumstances. Group stage matches will count against the MLS regular season standings. So, 3 points in the group stages translates to 3 points towards that teams' regular season total. MLS' plan is to get back to regular season action, following the conclusion of this tournament. Finally, the tournament winner will earn a spot in the 2021 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League.
How can I tune in to the action?
For the tournament opener against Inter Miami kick off is set for 8 p.m. ET (1 a.m. GMT on the 9th) on July 8 with the match set to be broadcast on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and TSN. The game against New York City FC is on Tuesday, July 14 at 10:30 p.m. ET (3.30 a.m. GMT on the 15th). This game will be broadcast on TUDN and TSN in the US. And finally (for the group stages anyway) Orlando close out the tournament on Monday 20 at 9 a.m. ET (2 p.m. GMT) against expansion side Nashville SC, who have been moved to the Eastern Conference for the remainder of the 2020 MLS season. This game will be broadcast in the US on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and TSN.
Select matches will also be shown globally via MLS partner networks (that's FreeSports and Sky Sports for us UK folk). Check local listings for more information.
How are Orlando City shaping up?
The enforced break will have undoubtedly come at a frustrating time for the Lions. A promising, and sprightly performance in the 0-0 draw with Real Salt Lake on opening day, was followed by a disappointing late defeat in Denver against the Rapids.
On the plus side, the Lions have been able to get Dom Dwyer back to something resembling full fitness, and will also be able to call upon the services of their talismanic skipper. Luis Nani. Nani missed the first two games of the regular season, through a suspension carried over from 2019. Oscar Pareja is in his first year with the club and made several impressive moves during the off-season, bringing in the likes of Pedro Gallese and Junior Urso.
As the tournament hosts, the City have been seeded at the top of group A, the only group in the whole tournament that is made up of six teams in total - Orlando City SC, Inter Miami CF, Chicago Fire FC, Philadelphia Union, Nashville SC and New York City FC. Due group A being a much larger group than the rest, MLS has announced that the top three finishers in Group A will advance to the Knockout Stage presented by Audi, along with the top two teams advancing from the other five groups. In addition the three best third-place finishers will also advance.
Key player:
With 12 goals and 10 assists from 26 starts and 4 substitute appearances in 2019, it's easy to see why Nani is this team's key man. The former Manchester United winger was coming off the back of playing the first half of the european season for Sporting CP, fatigue became an issue towards the end of 2019 as a result. He still managed to feature in 85% of City's MLS games. Nani is a leader in every sense of the word, and he will have to be on form if Orlando are to run deep into this tournament.
What of our opponents?
David Beckham's mob from down the road are something of an unknown quantity. There are lots of interesting caveats to this game. It's the first in the rivalry series, it's the first game of the tournament and subsequently the first since quarantine began. They have also signed former Lion Brek Shea, following his release from Atlanta. With Miami being an expansion side also, it adds to the unpredictability of this game.
Miami have been able to assemble a decent looking roster. They have plenty of MLS experience with the likes of A.J. DeLaGarza, Will Trapp and Roman Torres. Rudolfo Pizarro is the standout name on this team, however. They have managed to ensure they have depth all over the pitch, and in manager Diego Alonso they have a 2019 CCL winner.
Defeats in their opening 2 games left something of a bitter taste in the mouth for Miami supporters. They were no doubt buoyed by the first goal in club history just before the break. This team has all the ingredients on the field to be successful. Dangerous opponent.
Key player
Rudolfo Pizarro
DP Pizarro is arguably Miami's main man. The Mexican is the archetypal number 10, someone who plays between the lines and has the poise to pick out passes others simply do not see. The Uruguayan also has a keen eye for goal having netted 13 in 45 for Guadalajara and 8 in 51 for Monterrey. Pizarro is also responsible for Miami's first, and this far only, goal in MLS history. He knows the current Miami head coach well, as both were part of the Monterrey set up that won the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League. Miami will be hoping that he is able to bring that winning mentality to Mi- I mean, Fort Lauderdale.
NYCFC topped the Eastern conference standings in 2019, before ultimately falling in the conference semi-finals for the MLS Cup play-offs. Former Celtic boss Ronny Deila will be keen to build on last season, heading into the MLS Is Back tournament. NYC scored an impressive 63 goals on their way to topping the Eastern conference. They are a side that shares the goal scoring load well, allaying early season concerns about a lack of depth at striker. Héber and Mitriță led the charge at 15 and 13 goals apiece, with Castellanos (11), Moralez (7) and Tajouri-Shradi (7) also weighing in with goals. This club is capable of scoring goals from all over the pitch.
NYCFC arguably have one of the toughest runs in the tournament with games against Philadelphia and Chicago either side of their game with us. Yes, I am implying we are a tough opponent. I'm being optimistic. Sort of.
Maxi Moralez
Moralez is possibly one of the best attacking midfield players in MLS, and for me he is the glue that holds this attack together. Equally adept at carrying the ball into dangerous areas as he is picking out a pass. His tally of 29 assists last season backs that up. He also has a keen eye for goal, having plundered 20 in 92 appearances since arriving in the Big Apple. The Argentine has had success in the Argentine Primera División and the Italian Serie A during his career so far, and has thus far established himself as one of the top players in MLS. Expect him to have a big tournament.
Much like Inter Miami, Nashville are largely an unknown quantity. Which makes them a tricky opponent. Nashville have assembled a squad packed with MLS experience though, with the likes of David Accam and Walker Zimmerman making the move to Tennessee. Dax McCarty also joined from Chicago Fire during the off-season. And with former Dynamo keeper Joe Willis between the sticks, the team have a strong spine. They will be focused on making themselves hard to beat. And with the likes of Daniel Rios and Dominique Badji competing for starting berths, they have goals in them.
Walker Zimmerman
The acquisition of USMNT defender Walker Zimmerman was rightly seen as astute bit of business when he signed from LAFC during the winter. The former Dallas defender is a defensive stalwart. He is a solid defender, who is as good in the air as he is on the deck. He strengthens an already strong spine for this team. He will also go down in history as scoring the first goal in Nashville's MLS history in their opening day defeat to Atlanta.

Q: Switching between branches with long names in Git Is there an easy way to switch between branches without typing long branch names? I can presumably refer to the latest commit in the branch with a hash. But how do I get the hash while having another branch checked out?
I would like to do something like:
> git branch -a
master ab12cd...
feature/separate-sound-channels 34efgh...
> git checkout 34efgh

A: How about with tab-completion?
http://code-worrier.com/blog/autocomplete-git/

A: You can't simply checkout the hash because, while that will get the correct commit, it will put you in "detached HEAD" state, which basically means your working copy isn't associated with a specific branch and so git commands that move a branch label around won't know which branch to affect.
As @John Zwinck mentions, git-completion.bash will perform head-completion (among other niceties) when you type a git command and hit tab when a head name (branch or tag) is expected next on the command line:

A burn mass casualty event due to boiler room explosion on a cruise ship: Preparedness and outcomes

The purpose of this study was to review our experience with a mass casualty incident resulting from a boiler room steam explosion aboard a cruise ship. Experience with major, moderate, and minor burns, steam inhalation, mass casualty response systems, and psychological sequelae will be discussed. Fifteen cruise ship employees were brought to the burn center after a boiler room explosion on a cruise ship. Eleven were triaged to the trauma resuscitation area and four to the surgical emergency room. Seven patients were intubated for respiratory distress or airway protection. Six patients had >80 per cent burns with steam inhalation, and all of these died. One of the 6 patients had 99 per cent burns with steam inhalation and died after withdrawal of support within the first several hours. All patients with major burns required escharotomy on arrival to trauma resuscitation. One patient died in the operating room, despite decompression by laparotomy for abdominal compartment syndrome and pericardiotomy via thoracotomy for cardiac tamponade. Four patients required crystalloid, 20,000 mls/m2-27,000 ml/m2 body surface area (BSA) in the first 48 hours to maintain blood pressure and urine output. Three of these four patients subsequently developed abdominal compartment syndrome and died in the first few days. The fourth patient of this group died after 26 days due to sepsis. Five patients had 13-20 per cent burns and four patients had less than 10 per cent burns. Two of the patients with 20 per cent burns developed edema of the vocal cords with mild hoarseness. They improved and recovered without intubation. The facility was prepared for the mass casualty event, having just completed a mass casualty drill several days earlier. Twenty-six beds were made available in 50 minutes for anticipated casualties. Fifteen physicians reported immediately to the trauma resuscitation area to assist in initial stabilization. The event occurred at shift change; thus, adequate support personnel were instantaneously to hand. Our mass casualty preparation proved useful in managing this event. Most of the patients who survived showed signs of post-traumatic stress syndrome, which was diagnosed and treated by the burn center psychology team. Despite our efforts at treating large burns (>80%) with steam inhalation, mortality was 100 per cent. Fluid requirements far exceeded those predicted by the Parkland (Baxter) formula. Abdominal compartment syndrome proved to be a significant complication of this fluid resuscitation. A coordinated effort by the facility and preparation for mass casualty events are needed to respond to such events.

Latin American and Caribbean Association of ccTLDs (LACTLD) is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1998 that strives to bring together ccTLD administrators in the Latin America and Caribbean region.
LACTLD was first established on August 20, 1998 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was established within the framework of the meetings of the International Forum on White Paper (IFWP).
Vision The main vision of LACTLD is to be the collective voice of ccTLDs in Latin America and Caribbean.
LACTLD was supportive of the functioning of ICANN as a private entity. It was of the view that, with ICANN, it would be easy to coordinate with the entire global Internet community. It was also of the view that ICANN would help to ensure that protocol parameters, IP numbers, and domain names were operated appropriately. LACTLD also supported the creation of the ccNSO, an institution within ICANN, that would help identify the entire volume of ccTLDs in general and the issues related to it in particular.

42. Jack Davidson Reigns In Spain
Jack DAVIDSON won the Spanish International Amateur Championship yesterday at the challenging El Saler course near Valencia.
For the man from Newport, Wales this was by far the best result of his career. The Spanish Amateur is one of the world's top 20 amateur events nowadays enjoying a strong entry from across Europe every year. First played in 1911 former winners include Philip Walton (1981), Jose Maria Olazábel (1983-84), Darren Clarke (1990), Sergio García (1998), Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño (2003), Joost Luiten (2005), Danny Willet (2008) and Romain Langasque (2016).

The 36-hole stroke play qualifier was played in strong winds which caused havoc with the scoring, particularly in Round 1. Chris MACLEAN (SCO) eventually achieved medalist honours with an impressive 143 (-1) total. He was the only player to record an under par score. Stuart GREHAN (IRE) 144 (E) was 2nd whilst Alfie PLANT (ENG) and Harry GODDARD (ENG), both 146 (+2), also qualified well finishing in tied 4th. Interestingly the eventual Champion shot rounds of 76 and 75 to secure the 32nd and final place in the match play stage with a 151 (+7) total.
Amongst those to miss out on the match play were Initial Walker Cup Squad members Barry HUME (+8), Bradley MOORE (+8), Conor O'ROURKE (+10), Robert MACINTYRE (+11), Colm CAMPBELL (+11), Alex GLEESON (+14) and Owen EDWARDS (+16). In addition in form Irish player Robin DAWSON (+8) also just missed out.
Davidson beat Maclean (2&1), Javier Sainz (1Up), David Puig (3&2) and Kevin LE BLANC (2&1) in the semis to set up a 36-hole final with Englishman Marco PENGE. Penge went into lunch with a 1-hole lead but Davidson came out strongly in the afternoon. The Welshman moved into the lead after a birdie on the fourth and didn't relinquish it, eventually running out a 4&3 winner on the 15th green.
Marco Penge will be disappointed that the Spanish title evaded him particularly as this was the second match play final he has lost this year. He reached the final of the New South Wales Amateur in Australia a month ago before losing by 1-hole to compatriot Scott GREGORY. Gregory who lost last year's Spanish Amateur final to Langasque was missing this year as he paces himself ahead of his Masters appearance next month. Nevertheless Penge can take solace in the fact he has moved a few steps closer to the Amateur World's top 50 (he's now 55th in the SPWAR) and has once again demonstrated competitive match play skills. Both should stand him in good stead as this Walker Cup year progresses. He won't have long to dwell on the final as next week he starts his defence of the Sunningdale Foursomes, which he and girlfriend Sophie Lamb won last year.
There is no denying that Jack Davidson's win was a surprise but upon closer inspection he does appear to be a player growing in confidence and ability. This season he has already finished 3rd in the South American Amateur (74 67 69 68 -10) and followed that up with a tied 7th place result at the Portuguese International Amateur (71 75 74 66 -2) last month.
Jack started 2017 ranked 580th in the SPWAR. He is now 131st and 18th in the GB&I list. The Spanish International Amateur is clearly a prestigious title and it will be interesting to see if he can build on this in the coming months and push himself further into the Walker Cup reckoning. With David BOOTE already well placed could we see at least two Welsh players in the final 2017 GB&I team ?
Whatever happens no one can take this title off him and 2017 will be a memorable year. Well done to Jack on a great win and good luck for the rest of the year.

New federal CISO needs experience, technical know-how
Written by Greg Otto
Feb 9, 2016 | FEDSCOOP
A job listing for the promised new federal chief information security officer is now online, providing more details about the position that President Barack Obama created Tuesday as part of his national action plan to bolster cybersecurity.
The new CISO, who will report to federal CIO Tony Scott, will work in collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and agency CISOs on all federal cybersecurity activities, the notice states. He or she will oversee cybersecurity practices and implementation across the government, relying on "widely accepted" standards and frameworks, and using emerging technology from the private sector, to "assess risk, identify vulnerabilities, prioritize threats, secure investment, and measure and communicate progress."
The hire will chair the Information Security and Identity Management Committee of the CIO Council and coordinate a program with the Office of Personnel Management, DOD, DHS, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology that aims to recruit and train a cybersecurity workforce for the federal government.
"In reality, the CISO role is a policy-coordinating role across the federal government," Scott said Monday during a media call addressing the action plan.
The hire needs to demonstrate technical expertise in a variety of fields, including: "Understanding complex, interconnected, modern web and other current technology platforms/system architectures, software development practices, and cybersecurity solutions; securing enterprise IT architectures, networks, systems, data, and applications, to include mobile and customer facing applications; and leading responses to large-scale cyber incidents."
The position will be designated as senior executive service, with the need for a top-secret/sensitive compartmented information clearance. The salary will range from $123,175 to $185,100 per year.
The job listing is open until Feb. 26. Interested applicants can apply on USAJobs.gov.

50 writers from 15 languages, hundreds of avid book-lovers, book exhibitors… the celebration of our literature is all set to continue at the biggest and the unique platform of its kind– the LIC Gateway LitFest 2017.
We celebrate our traditions and triumphs, travails and tribulations as different literary streams flow in and melt here for two days. Jnanpith laureates, Akademi Award winners and budding writers together discuss, debate and dissect our diverse literary trends to make the world listen to and salute.
According to a recent report by IANS, there are 90 literary festivals in India and these fests have given a new fillip to reading habits. But, most of the fests give prominence to English writers. So, the question is whether the festivals are doing something to revive reading in our regional languages.
"Literary fests are able to serve as a mirror for reflecting the culture and literature of a particular part of the country. With the growing population numbers, we are at the threshold of creating new readerships and lit fests are a sound way of putting the reader in touch with the authors, increasing exposure and interaction." — Mita Kapur, writer and CEO of Siyahi which has crafted numerous literary festivals.
"In countries abroad, to listen to a Nobel laureate speak is expensive. But in India, we are able to bring Booker winners, Pulitzer prize recipients and Nobel prize winners on one stage to our festivals, entirely for free. It is a development for the country to have people and children listening to such inspiring people instead of watching movies or spending time on the internet."– William Dalrymple, director of Jaipur Literary Festival.
"Literary festivals give readers an opportunity to hear and see writers speak about their work and discover new voices…at the end of the day, books are not autonomous artefacts cut off from their contexts; they are moments in the lives of authors, they are the voices of authors."—author Mani Rao.
Here is the two day schedule of event in detail.

Research programme for solar system physics and space technology
Within the Solar System Physics and Space Technology research programme, we study the solar wind's interaction with various celestial bodies in the Solar System.
The solar wind is a flow of charged particles from the sun. We want to understand how planets (including the Earth), comets, moons and asteroids interact with the space environment. In order to perform this research, we develop instruments for satellite-based measurements, which constitute a significant part of the programme's activities.
The instruments measure the fluxes of particles: ions, electrons and energetic neutral atoms (ENA).
All stages of instrument development are carried out within the programme, from design, manufacture and calibration to operation of the instruments. In our research and instrument development, we collaborate with a large number of research groups in many countries.
The programme has developed instruments that have recently made measurements at a comet and at Venus, and are making measurements at Mars. We have built instruments that during 2018 was sent to Merkurius and to the Moon. Also, we are developing instruments to make measurements at Jupiter.
We are also working to develop SpaceLab, a facility for testing and calibrating space instrument.
Personnel in the Solar System Physics and Space Technology research programme work at IRF in Kiruna.

US envoy to NATO says not much compromise with Russia on alliance's expansion eastward
Washington [US], January 11 (ANI/Sputnik): US Ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith said on Tuesday that there is not much room for compromise with Russia on the issue of the military alliance's expansion.
"Frankly, I don't see a lot of compromise," Smith said in an interview with CNN regarding Russia's concerns about NATO's further expansion into Eastern Europe.
On Monday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said Russia needs firm legally-binding guarantees that Ukraine and Georgia will never become members of NATO. He added that this issue is a matter of Russia's national security.
Smith said there is currently no option on the table to halt the expansion of NATO and the door remains open for other countries to join. Any decision about membership is for the alliance and the country in question to decide, she added.
Talks among NATO representatives, member states and Russian officials will take place in Brussels on Wednesday to address Moscow's concerns about the alliance's expansion eastward and the alleged threat that Russia may invade Ukraine.
Smith said all the parties are currently "committed to dialogue" to resolve their issues. She said Wednesday's meeting is expected to address the ongoing talks about placing some reciprocal limits on military exercises and missile placements in Eastern Europe.
On Monday, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman led a US delegation in Geneva at the meeting with their Russian counterparts to discuss the pressing issues at hand, including US missile placements in Europe. (ANI/Sputnik)
