#1 Golden Globe Award • Fiji Rami Malek Wins Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture | The Golden Globe Awards
Rami Malek wins Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture for Bohemian Rhapsody at The Golden Globes. Watch his grateful and humbling acceptance speech here!
And the Golden Globe for most obvious PR stunt goes to Fiji Water Girl
By Lianne Kolirin, CNN
Updated 7:12 AM ET, Mon January 7, 2019
(CNN) Glenn Close may have snagged the Golden Globe for best actress in a drama movie and Christian Bale won for best actor in a comedy.
But when it came to stealing the show, it was all about a mysterious brunette who you have almost certainly never heard of.
Wearing a deep blue evening dress, the initially unidentified woman managed to make herself known to the paparazzi at Sunday's award ceremony by photobombing almost every red carpet shot -- appearing behind just about everyone from Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis to Idris Elba and Richard Madden.
Jamie Lee Curtis was in danger of being upstaged by the Fiji Water girl.
She also stole the spotlight from the likes of Jim Carrey, Dakota Fanning and Camilla Belle.
And here she is again with actress Holly Taylor.
Later revealed as an LA-based model, Kelleth Cuthbert pulled off the brazen publicity stunt by continuously posing with a tray of bottles of Fiji Water intended for the thirsty guests.
And it was not just a case of standing demurely in the background. Instead Cuthbert, who originally hails from Toronto, made a point of staring into the camera and grabbing the global limelight.
The woman in blue emerged as the star of the 76th annual Golden Globe® Awards
At the start of the night, she posted a picture of herself on Instagram, captioning it: "Not the worst way to spend a Sunday... #goldenglobesfijigirl #fijiwatergirl"
Pictures of the model quickly went viral, with a host of memes and even a spoof Twitter account appearing within hours.
Fiji Water, which sponsored the award ceremony, later tweeted: "We're so glad everyone is talking about our water!
"*senses ominous presence*
"She's right behind us, isn't she? #FIJIwatergirl"
'Fiji Water Girl' photobombs celebrity pictures at Golden Globes; starts meme fest on social media
As the woman appeared to be posing in most celebrity pictures, many wondered if her presence was indeed intentional. Calling her as the "Fiji Water Girl", it did not take long for people to convert the viral picture into hilarious memes.

Netizens noticed an unknown face in the background of almost all celebrity pictures clicked at the Golden Globes red carpet venue. Dressed in a flowy violet attire was a woman holding a tray of Fiji water bottles.
As the woman appeared to be posing in most pictures, many wondered if her presence was indeed intentional. Calling her as the "Fiji Water Girl", it did not take long for people to convert the viral picture into hilarious memes. However, many also suggested that the woman could be given an award for the "best supporting role" at the ceremony.
The woman, who was later identified as model Kelleth Cuthbert, was seen photobombing pictures of many celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Dakota Fanning, Jim Carrey, Judy Greer and more.

Shares of Loxo Onocology (ticker: LOXO) were indicated up about 65% in premarket trade Monday, after the biopharmaceutical company agreed to be acquired by Eli Lilly (LLY) in a deal valued at $8.0 billion. Lilly's stock fell 2.0% ahead of the open.
Under terms of the deal, Lilly will pay $235 in cash for each Loxo share outstanding, which represents a 68% premium to Friday's closing price of $139.87, and 24% above Loxo's record close of $189.96 on July 6, 2018.
The deal is the largest in a series of acquisitions by Lilly to broaden its cancer treatment efforts, Lilly said. The deal is expected to close by the end of the first quarter. The company said it will provide an update to 2019 financial guidance, when it reports fourth-quarter results on Feb. 13.
Loxo shares have lost 12.4% over the past three months and Lilly shares have eased 0.3%, while the SPDR Health Care Select Sector ETF has shed 8.8% and the S&P 500 has declined 12.3%.
Eli Lilly to buy Loxo Oncology for about $8 billion in cancer bet
Published 3 Hours Ago Updated 52 Mins Ago Reuters
Eli Lilly set to buy Loxo Oncology for $8B 2 Hours Ago | 01:14
Eli Lilly said on Monday it would buy Loxo Oncology for about $8 billion in cash, buying into a portfolio of targeted medicines to treat cancers.
The offer of $235 per share in cash represents a premium of about 68 percent to Loxo's Friday close. Loxo's shares surged 32.8 percent to $185.70 in light trading before the bell, while those of Lilly dropped 2.7 percent to $111.60.
Last year, U.S. regulators approved Loxo's first commercial medicine, Vitrakvi, which was shown to be effective against a wide variety of cancers driven by a single, rare genetic mutation. The drug is sold in partnership with Bayer.
Loxo Oncology is developing a pipeline of targeted medicines focused on such cancers that can be detected by genomic testing.
Deutsche Bank is Lilly's financial adviser and Weil, Gotshal & Manges is its legal adviser. Goldman Sachs is the financial adviser, while Fenwick & West is legal adviser to Loxo.
The Lilly acquisition comes a week after Bristol-Myers Squibbannounced plans to buy Celgene in a blockbuster $74 billion deal.

Study elucidates how essential amino acid in humans acts as growth signal for cells
Reviewed by James Ives, MPsychJan 7 2019
A recent study from the Laxman lab elucidates how a small metabolite and amino acid, methionine, acts as a growth signal for cells, by setting into motion a metabolic program for cell proliferation.
For cells to grow and then divide, they must be in an anabolic state, where there is sufficient production of all necessary building blocks. It was earlier thought that as long as enough nutrients are present, cells would continue to grow under the control of different internal signaling programs. However, recent studies show that many small intermediates and products of biological metabolism commonly termed as metabolites can themselves act as signaling molecules and control cell growth programs.
Several studies, particularly from cancer researchers, have hinted that methionine might be a signaling metabolite. Many cancers appear to be dependent on methionine for growth. However, how methionine controls growth is still a mystery. We used a very simple model system (budding yeast cells), to address how methionine might regulate growth. To understand the logic of such a growth program, we analyzed gene expression profiles as well as measured the new synthesis of necessary building blocks. By piecing together this network, we constructed the organization of a core anabolic program triggered by methionine. This anabolic program relies on a few specific nodes in metabolism and is sufficient to orchestrate an entire cascade of transcriptional and metabolic events that can sustain growth.
Our findings on how cells perceive methionine as a growth cue are illustrated in the simple cartoon (see banner image). When methionine is limited, cells do not grow (the unhappy cell without a bud, on the left). On the other hand, when methionine is abundant, it acts as a growth signal and triggers a cascade of biochemical events, ultimately leading to cell growth (the happy yeast with a bud, on the right). Analogous to the butterfly effect, methionine leads to a series of larger metabolic events, controlling an entire cellular program. Methionine activates three key nodes in metabolism: the pentose phosphate pathway, the production of glutamine, and the formation of pyridoxal phosphate (the PPP-GDH-PLP node). These nodes produce a set of critical substrates and co-factors that fuel the production of all other amino acids, as well as make nucleotides, which are critical for growth. In the cartoon, the dominoes of increasing size show this chain of events and capture how methionine eventually has a significant impact on cell growth.
This is a fundamental study, which advances our understanding of how some metabolites can act as signaling molecules and play a critical role in controlling cell growth. This study provides a much-awaited explanation on the role of methionine in sustaining cell growth, and it might clarify why cancer cells are addicted to methionine for their growth. However, a long-term methionine study could provide strategies to control the growth of many types of cancer.

Google Drive update will fix this major issue with the storage service
GOOGLE Drive is set for an update that will fix a major issue with the cloud storage service, it has been announced.
By JOSEPH CAREY

Google Drive is the American tech giant's internet storage solution that is incredibly popular.
Available on both desktops, smartphones and tablets, the software allows users to synchronise files, photos and more between devices.
Anyone that uses Google Drive gets 15GB of free storage for content.
However, customers need to pay a monthly subscription to the tech firm if they want a greater allowance.
While Google Drive offers an intuitive interface with useful functions, it is certainly not perfect.
One of the biggest problems for users is the fact no function exists to confirm whether the user wants something shared with them or not.
This means files can be sent from one person to another instantaneously without relevant permission.
While this seems designed to make sharing easier, it has ultimately resulted in a deluge of spam for some users.
One in particular, as noted by How-To Geek, stated they were being shared unwanted files on Google Drive from an ex-boyfriend.
Moreover, they also highlighted that Google's service does not allow users to remove access to files themselves in certain circumstances.
The user said: "Four weeks ago I discovered I am still shared on a Google Drive folder of photos my abusive ex controls and is actively putting photos into.
"At the same time I learned there is no way to remove your own access from a folder you have been given view-only access to."
If a user only has a "view" permission for certain items, they are unable to remove themselves from the Google Drive share.
Once a file has been shared it will appear in both the software's "quick access" bar at to the top and the "shared with you" section.
Google has promised to make sharing permission changes to Drive (Image: Google)
That means users that do not want to see certain files are unable to avoid them in certain scenarios.
However, it appears Google has acknowledged the problem and has promised to make changes.
How-To Geek shared the user's Tweet discussing drive that was mentioned above with Google and received a response.
A spokesperson for the tech giant said: "For the vast majority of users, the default sharing permissions in Drive work as intended. Unfortunately, this was not the case for this user and we sincerely apologise for her experience.
No release date was given for the permission changes discussed by Google (Image: Getty)
"In light of this issue, we are evaluating changes to our spam, abuse, and blocking features that will prevent this kind of activity from taking place on Drive."
While Google promised alterations are incoming, it discussed how users can best avoid certain files in the software in its current form.
The Mountain View company went on: "In the interim, users who are experiencing similar issues can remove themselves from the folder, and the folder should not reappear in either 'My Drive' or 'Shared with Me' unless they revisit it."
Unfortunately, no release date was given for the permission changes discussed by Google.
Google Promises To Fix Google Drive Spam
By Tyler Lee on 01/07/2019 02:09 PST
Google Drive has a problem, but not so much in terms of functionality and features, but rather the abuse of one of its features that has resulted in what many consider to be spam. A report from How-To-Geek revealed that Google Drive has a spam problem, where anyone can share files and documents with you as long as they have your email address.
When this happens, files will automatically appear in your Drive account. The other problem is that these files cannot be fully removed either, and at most you can hide it but it will still show up if you search for it. Thankfully Google is aware of the issue and in a statement made to the publication, Google claims that they will be looking into it.
According to a statement made by a spokesperson, "For the vast majority of users, the default sharing permissions in Drive work as intended. Unfortunately, this was not the case for this user and we sincerely apologize for her experience. In light of this issue, we are evaluating changes to our spam, abuse, and blocking features that will prevent this kind of activity from taking place on Drive."
Google is also advising users to just remove themselves from these shared folders until a more permanent solution can be had. "In the interim, users who are experiencing similar issues can remove themselves from the folder, and the folder should not reappear in either "My Drive" or "Shared with Me" unless they revisit it."

Top 25 skills employers need in 2019 include creativity, persuasion, AI: LinkedIn data
By Douglas Perry | Posted January 07, 2019 at 08:03 AM
The U.S. economy continues to pump out jobs, adding more than 300,000 of them in December and holding the unemployment rate under 4 percent. Yet many jobs remain highly competitive.
So how do you get your CV to the top of the stack in 2019? LinkedIn mined its user data to create a list of skills and experience that will improve your odds.
The social-media employment and networking service came up with its ranking "by looking at skills that are in high demand relative to their supply. Demand is measured by identifying the skills listed on the LinkedIn profiles of people who are getting hired at the highest rates."
Below are the Top 20 "hard skills" and the Top 5 "soft" skills, according to LinkedIn.
Top hard skills:
20. Competitive strategies
Business Dictionary definition: "Long-term action plan that is devised to help a company gain a competitive advantage over its rival."
19. Industrial design
"Industrial designers not only focus on the appearance of a product," writes the Industrial Designers Society of America, "but also on how it functions, is manufactured and ultimately the value and experience it provides for users."
18. Digital marketing
Business Dictionary definition: "The promotion of products or brands via one or more forms of electronic media."
17. Journalism
Fake news? Apparently not. Says LinkedIn: "Once a dwindling skill, journalism isn't just for journalists anymore as marketing and content teams alike vie for people who can tell compelling stories."
16. Business analysis
Business Dictionary definition: "Investigation into the operations of a business to expose the causes behind the results achieved, and the effects of those results on the business."
15. Animation
Surprised to see this particular skill in the Top 20? You shouldn't be, says LinkedIn, "considering the surge of video traffic and the increasing prevalence of the GIF."
14. Social media marketing
This subcategory of digital marketing is highly in demand.
13. Game development
This shouldn't be confused with game designing, points out GameDesigning.com. The website explains: "a video game developer is a person or more often a group of people that convert the ideas and objectives of the design team into the actual game."
12. Scientific computing
Using computers to solve or understand problems (such as climate change) has been called the "'third pillar of science,' standing right next to theoretical analysis and experiments for scientific discovery."
11. Natural language processing
Forbes describes it as "a form of artificial intelligence that focuses on analyzing the human language to draw insights, create advertisements, help you text (yes, really) and more."
10. Audio production
"Behind every recording," writes the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences, "there are thousands of puzzle pieces that need to be put together to paint our aural picture."
It's a big, interconnected world. And have you noticed that Google Translate isn't as smooth as you'd like it to be?
8. Sales leadership
Some things never go out of style. "Sales," writes LinkedIn, "is one of those skills that's always in demand, and great sales leaders are only becoming harder and harder to find."
7. Video production
While you read this, a lot of other people are watching video.
6. Mobile application development
"Mobile application development," writes the Essential Guide, "is the set of processes and procedures involved in writing software for small, wireless computing devices such as smartphones or tablets."
5. UX design
"A UX designer's role," writes the Adobe Blog, "is directly involved in the process of making a product useful, usable and enjoyable for its users."
4. People management
We're all introverted tech geeks now, so the ability to "coach and empower," writes LinkedIn, "[is] a difficult skillset few professionals possess."
3. Analytical reasoning
"In short," writes The Classroom, "analytical reasoning is the ability to recognize and determine the meaning of patterns in a variety of information."
2. Artificial intelligence
In the context of jobs for humans, AI refers to the "theory and development of computer systems to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, decision-making and translation between languages."
1. Cloud computing
Amazon, a leader in the field, describes it as "the on-demand delivery of compute power, database storage, applications, and other IT resources ... via the internet."

9 things to know about Bachelor Colton Underwood
By: Nick Schwartz | January 7, 2019 12:42 pm The new season of The Bachelor starring ex-NFL player Colton Underwood will begin on Monday night. Colton's been a recurring cast member in the Bachelor universe, and he'll meet the 30 women vying for his heart in Episode 1. If you haven't watched The Bachelor or Bachelor In Paradise, here's all you need to know about Colton Underwood.
1. He's a virgin
This is the big one. You'll probably be reminded of Colton's virginity roughly 40 times per episode of The Bachelor, so we'd advise against designing any viewing party drinking games around the word. Colton joked in an appearance on Ellen that he's excited to play board games in the fantasy suites this season.
2. This is Colton's third season in the Bachelor universe
Colton was a contestant in Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette and made it to the final four, but was eliminated after a dramatic twist involving a former partner (more on that later).
He returned last summer for Bachelor In Paradise, but voluntarily left the show in Week 4 when he realized he wasn't fully committed to a relationship with Tia Booth.
3. Colton wasn't a popular choice to be The Bachelor
Colton's relationship with Becca on The Bachelorette and his relationship with Tia on Bachelor In Paraside were major storylines on the respective shows, and Colton coverage often dominated entire episodes.
Many fans on Twitter were simply suffering from Colton overload, and there was significant backlash when ABC announced – just a day after his breakup with Tia was aired – that he would be returning as The Bachelor.
4. Colton's had two dramatic breakups on national TV
One reason Colton is a controversial choice to be The Bachelor? He recently went through devastating, dramatic breakups with two women on national television – and he might not be ready to commit to another relationship.
Colton became a favorite to win The Bachelorette in Becca's season – but a former girlfriend (and Bachelor cast member), Tia, showed up to reveal to Becca that she still had feelings for Colton.
Becca eliminated Colton later in the very same episode, but later said that Tia's revelation had little to do with her decision.
Colton and Tia reunited on Bachelor In Paradise – a show that was seemingly designed to be cruel to the future Bachelor. He arrived to the show late, which gave Tia just enough time to start a relationship with another guy, but the couple eventually committed to an exclusive relationship in Paradise. Not long after, Colton decided his heart wasn't in the relationship, and both he and Tia left the show.
5. Colton once landed a date with Olympian Aly Raisman with a video message
Rich Polk/Getty Images for Life is Good
Before Colton showed up on The Bachelorette, he was involved in a relationship with three-time Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman that began with this video.
6. He's very into dogs
Colton's love for dogs has been a recurring theme throughout his Bachelor career, and it just so happens that one of the women in this season's cast is a dog rescuer (Alex B.). It is meant to be?!
7. He doesn't wear underwear
Colton revealed in episode 7 of Bachelor in Paradise that he doesn't typically wear underwear, but does wear spandex when he works out.
8. He had a short NFL career
AP Photo/Rick Scuteri
A former tight end, Colton played football at Illinois State but went undrafted in 2014. He signed with the Chargers as a free agent, and later spent time with the Eagles and Raiders. Colton never made a regular-season roster.
9. He has a foundation
Becca's hometown date with Colton on The Bachelorette allowed him to highlight his Legacy Foundation, which assists people suffering from cystic fibrosis.
Via ColtonsLegacy.com:
"The Colton Underwood Legacy Foundation is a non-profit organization that was created by former NFL player, Colton Underwood to provide resources for research and support of people living with cystic fibrosis. We work to empower people with Cystic Fibrosis to dream big and live life fully while managing their health and medical challenges."

Lt. Doug Bounous has been selected as the Jail Administrator of the Year by the Missouri Sheriff's Association. This award is the first offered by the Missouri Sheriff's Association and was presented to Lt. Bounous at the 2014 Jail Administrators Conference in Jefferson City.
Lt. Bounous was recognized for his efforts serving as jail administrator for the Lawrence County Jail. Including finding and receiving over $15,000.00 in unpaid board bills from the state, collecting social security fees from inmates, as well as other sources of revenue that had not been coming into the jail.
Not only does Lt. Bounous serve as the jail administrator, he also serves as evidence officer and supervises the bailiff and transport division. While he continues to have many duties working for the Sheriff's Office, Jail Administrator is his biggest challenge. The amount of work, effort and dedication he puts into the job is immeasurable. his contribution to the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office goes unseen by many of the people that we serve. He does everything to the best of his ability to operate a safe, efficient, and organized facility.


Much like driving, baby care is an excellent use case for hands-free computing. As such, Amazon is investing in tools to help developers build Alexa skills to track baby activities.
Amazon has announced a new API for Alexa called the Baby Activity Skill API. Per Amazon, "The Alexa.Health API is a set of interfaces that allows you to build baby activity skills for your health and wellness apps and devices. Your customers can manage health and wellness data for themselves, their children, and other family members by talking to Alexa." Amazon has created specific APIs around tracking weight, sleep, diaper changes, and infant feeding.
It's another step in the overall tact Amazon continues to take with the Alexa ecosystem: building API sets tailored to the needs of various product categories to optimize for new usage scenarios. In this case, it's activity logging for early childhood.
Hatch Baby, a maker of "smart nursery" products, also announced that it has received investment from Amazon's Alexa Fund.
We would expect to see more Alexa integrations into hardware and software in the baby category in the year ahead. While some will be hesitant to adopt tools like these, as parents and caretakers begin to use Amazon services for more aspects of child care, the Baby Activity Skill API creates another vector for engagement and ultimately sales.

4.5 stars of ever shifting hotness!
I am a big fan of Ms. Sommerland's writing – she has some particularly amazing books in the sports genre (Dartmouth Cobras) that manage to integrate a wide variety of people and their kinks into a wonderful collection of stories – which I turn to whenever I want a favourite good read. She has also written some fantasy which make for some very enjoyable reading. Branching out into the world of shifters made me very curious as to how her natural inclination to ménage relationships would be manifested!
Well, I was most impressed with the world that this book creates, and the wonderful mix of shifter creatures makes it a very rich read. There is a lot of folklore and fantasy woven into the tale, which gives it a pleasing depth. The importance of family over gender in one society; and the complete opposite in another; the impact of control, of magic, of trust and faith – so many issues brought together in what is also a lovely romantic story. Livvie helps to bring humour to a quite dark tale, and the combined skills of the main trio ensure a settled ending.
I think this may be one of those books which will benefit from rereading, as there are many layers and links which in the excitement of getting the romance sorted, can get missed. I am hopeful that there will be more from this wonderful new world, giving me the perfect excuse to revisit this delightful story.
Reviewers on the Wicked Reads Review Team were provided a free copy of Tamed by Bianca Sommerland to read and review.

Hardwood timber in home-building
From houses to skyscrapers, ceilings to floors, timber has been used as a building material for centuries to create the areas in which we live, work and socialise.
Specifically in home-building, hardwood timber is at the forefront of most interior designs. Hardwood is typically a lot denser than softwoods, making it ideal for the more hard-wearing home installations, including doors, window frames and stairs. Without the properties of hardwood timber, the chances of your stairs diminishing in stability and durability would increase, your doors wouldn't have the same longevity and your window frames wouldn't be able to withstand the weathering processes that take place on a day-to-day basis.
Hardwood timber is harvested from countless species across Europe, West Africa and North America, including Mahogany, Hard Maple, White Oak, and Black Walnut, and shipped worldwide to help us create our perfect homes.
Our hardwood product range has been carefully crafted to ensure you have a myriad of design options when it comes to flooring, stairs and windows.
Our stair range in White Oak and White Ash gives you a comprehensive choice of stair components that are available ex stock for flexible ordering and guaranteed deliveries, whilst our hardwood flooring – full of character and beauty – blends durability and excellent acoustic properties, making them ideal for commercial, leisure and residential applications.
To improve upon our hardwood timber offering, we successfully launched our Intelligence range last year, combining hardwood timber with engineered products to create bespoke solutions that were formerly difficult to come by.
The Intelligence solution provides a range of benefits for customers including:
A totally new look and quality feel – sleek and sophisticated, perfect for the modern-day household
Environmentally friendly, ensuring your home plays its part in helping the UK become carbon negative
Excellent thermal properties – this is particularly important for your windows and doors, and helps you save money on heat and electrical bills
Long terms solutions for individual applications
Stronger, more durable and resistant solutions
To see the benefits of our Intelligence range, we pulled together this quick case study of how Intelligence helped one of our customers save money, save on manufacturing time and retain their high-quality door standards.
It's also important to note the environmental benefits of using hardwood timber in home-building. For years, many people have opted for PVC as their go-to choice for windows and doors as it's cheap and widely manufactured. In more recent years however, as people become more aware of their carbon footprint, this plastic alternative has started to lose its shine.
PVC doesn't have any environmental benefits when used as part of a new build, and the creation of PVC involves a lot of toxic chemicals which is incredibly damaging to the atmosphere. Hardwood timber on the other hand not only ensures you're emitting less Co2 gasses, but it's also a carbon negative and is known to be the most resourceful way to build!
Similarly, timber is widely agreed as the best material for staircase manufacturing, as its alternatives – concrete, metal and glass – produce higher levels of carbon and are more expensive. It would makesense to go for the stronger, more versatile and easier to work with timber option.
And that's it
The use of hardwood timber in home-building and interior design is something that's not only remained popular for centuries, but has seen a huge rise in popularity globally.
If you would like to speak to a timber consultant about our product range, or want a bit more information on the use of hardwood timber in home-building, get in touch and we'll be able to help you out.
Oh, and don't forget to follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to keep up to date on all the latest timber news!

AI's shaky foundations
Bryan Walsh, author of Future
Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios
A new academic group is sounding a warning about powerful, if poorly understood, AI systems that are increasingly driving the field.
Why it matters: New models like OpenAI's text-generating GPT-3 have proven so impressive that they're serving as the foundation of further AI research, but that risks propagating the biases that may be built into these systems.
What's happening: This morning a group of more than 100 researchers released a new report on the "opportunities and risks" of foundational AI systems as part of the launch of a new group at Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered AI called the Center for Research on Foundation Models (CRFM).
The report warns that the very qualities that have made these models so exciting — and potentially so commercially valuable — creates what Percy Liang, a Stanford computer science professor and the director of CRFM, calls "a double-edged sword."
"We're building AI infrastructure on a handful of models," he adds, but our inability to fully understand how they work or what they might do "means that these models actually form a shaky foundation."
Background: Liang notes that until recently, AI systems were built for specific purposes — if you needed machine translation, you built a machine translation model.
But that began to change in 2019, when Google introduced its BERT natural language processing (NLP) model.
BERT now plays a role in most of Google's search functions, while Facebook researchers harnessed BERT as the basis for an even larger NLP model that it uses for AI content moderation.
At the same time companies like OpenAI and AI21 Labs have begun allowing developers to build commercial applications off their own massive NLP systems.
How it works: With these systems, "you just grab a ton of data, you build a huge model, and then you go in and discover what it can do," says Liang.
As an AI scientist, he adds, the power of these models is "so cool," but they also risk homogenizing the AI field.
Any biases in these models — or in the data they're built upon — "risks being amplified in a way that everyone inherits," says Liang.
The bottom line: The good news is this foundation is still being built, so interdisciplinary groups like CRFM can work to study those defects and hopefully correct them.
The bad news is that we may be running out of time to do just that.
Editor's note: This story was updated to clarify that the Center for Research on Foundation Models (CRFM) is at Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered AI.

An insider's view of "algorithmic warfare"
Illustration: Eniola Odetunde/Axios
Artificial intelligence will "change the nature of war," according to Robert Work, a former deputy secretary of defense.
Why it matters: Success on the battlefield will increasingly come down to the ability to make algorithmically aided decisions faster, and while the U.S. has long maintained a decisive technological advantage in warfare, its lead in AI is much narrower.
OpenAI's GPT-3 gets a little bit more open
The artificial intelligence research company OpenAI will eliminate the waiting list for access to the API of its natural language processing program (NLP) GPT-3.
Why it matters: The move will accelerate access to the world's best-known reading and writing AI model, and is a sign that OpenAI believes the program is safe enough — and can be monitored sufficiently — to be disseminated more widely.
Taming the wild west of AI-based hiring
Illustration: Aïda Amer/Axios
New laws and regulations are aiming to draw some boundaries for the fast-growing but often black-box approach of using AI to hire employees.
Why it matters: Companies large and small have embraced AI-based tools to screen, assess and select job candidates, but algorithmic approaches have been largely unregulated and risk perpetuating biases on race, gender, disability and more.

Q: GNU Make: define a local variable that will never import? Suppose I have a gnu-make automation node (this isn't an actual thing; it is something I use make for).
makefile
runFoo/
  runFoo.mk
thisBar/
  thisBar.mk

And inside the makefile, I have:
# makefile
include runFoo/runFoo.mk
include thisBar/thisBar.mk

Now, what I want to do is have a set of variable names that I always use. For example, node or nodeName would be a great variable that is defined for all of my "nodes" in the automation neighborhood that I've defined:
# runFoo/runFoo.mk
nodeName=runFoo
$(nodeName):
   ~/.local/bin/runFoo.sh # for example

# thisBar/thisBar.mk
nodeName=thisBar
$(nodeName):
  @touch $@/$@

And the question amounts to:
Is there some way to define a variable such that it is used locally in the included file, but does not clash with any re-definitions in other files?
I.e., in the main makefile,
echo:
  @echo $(nodeName)

Would print nothing:
~$ make echo

I am looking at MAKELEVEL in the documentation, which is almost what I'm aiming for...
Basically, the idea is to define a this variable/name for a makefile a la C++ OOP.

Fur Seal Chills Out at Sydney Beach
1 December 2020, 6:50 am
A fur seal was spotted relaxing at Manly Beach in Sydney on Monday, November 30, as beachgoers were warned to keep a safe distance.
The fur seal, which has been named Reg, is being closely monitored and has recently visited Sydney and other parts of the Central Coast, reports said.
Reg spent Monday night on the beach and was still resting there on Monday. ORRCA, a cetacean research and rescue group, advised the public not to feed or disturb the seal and to stay at least 40 meters away at all times. Credit: Paul Lo Russo via Storyful
Two more big American banks posted results Tuesday that breezed past Wall Street's targets. Goldman Sachs' quarterly profit more than doubled to $4.4 billion, crushing analysts estimates. Goldman did so well it completely absorbed the $3 billion hit to its annual profits stemming from the settlement with regulators over its role in Malaysia's IMDB corruption scandal in which U.S. authorities say about $4.5 billion was siphoned from a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund founded in 2009 by then Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak. Goldman got a boost from the fees it earned for underwriting high-profile IPOs like Airbnb and Doordash. That lifted its investment banking revenue 27%. Like other Wall Street banks, its trading revenue also soared as financial market volumes remained high. Strength in the trading business also bolstered Bank of America. A 7% revenue increase at its sales and trading unit offset a drop in revenue in consumer banking that was partly caused by lower interest rates. Bank of America's profit dropped but it was much better than what analysts had forecast. The second largest U.S. bank is seen as an economic bellwether. In a sign of confidence in the economic recovery, the bank released $828 million from its credit reserves. Its board also approved a $3.2 billion share buyback program. Shares of BofA and Goldman fell in early trading Tuesday.

El primer Día Mundial de la Obesidad unificado tuvo lugar el 4 de marzo de 2020.

Día Mundial de la Obesidad

"Las personas con obesidad son constantemente avergonzadas y culpadas por su enfermedad. Esto se debe a que muchas personas, incluidos médicos, formuladores de políticas y otros, no entienden que la obesidad es una enfermedad crónica. Lo ven como una simple falta de fuerza de voluntad, pereza o una negativa a "comer menos y moverse más". Pero como todas las enfermedades crónicas, las causas de la obesidad son mucho más profundas. Pueden ser genéticos, psicológicos, socioculturales, económicos y ambientales. Es hora de que rompamos el ciclo de la vergüenza y la culpa y revaluemos nuestro enfoque para abordar esta compleja enfermedad crónica que afecta a 650 millones de personas en todo el mundo".

Do development permit systems inherently facilitate intensification objectives?
The construction of the gamer identity as one that is naturally male, originates from culturally embedded societal gender roles and techno masculinity, and the industry as a male-dominated space. Despite these associations being solely derivative of cultural norms, each posits female gamers as inferior to their male counterparts. However, the mainstream popularization of gaming, and increase in the accessibility of videogames, has facilitated a diversification of the gaming population and its associated practices, posing a threat to the traditional gamer identity. The result is a cultural shift that could restructure a cultural landscape that was once highly exclusive, initiating a number of operations that alienate female gamers, as a means of preserving an illusion of male ownership. These operations are apparent in literature and gamer discourse. An original survey and participant-observer discourse analysis were used to collect data on the pervasiveness of misogyny in the community.


Local charities and community organisations throughout the Scottish Borders and Midlothian now have the opportunity to apply for a share of £4k of the Borders Railway community safety fund.
The funding marks the last series of grants that will be made available to local community safety and engagement initiatives ahead of the new railway opening to the public in September. To date the community safety fund has distributed £7.5k to over 40 local groups since launching in 2013.
Organisations applying can benefit from up to £250 for projects which encourage railway, site or road safety, discourage theft and vandalism or engage with the local community.
Previous beneficiaries of the Borders Railway community safety fund, which is independently managed by Scottish Community Safety Network (SCSN), include: the Galashiels Air Cadets, Midlothian drama group, Pit Pony Productions in Dalkeith (pictured below) and various primary schools, including Langlee Primary School, which developed an outdoor play and learning area.
Craig Bowman, senior communications manager, Network Rail, said: "Since the fund launched, it has been fantastic to be able to support so many worthwhile causes which are providing a lasting legacy in communities throughout Midlothian and the Scottish Borders.
Jacqui Doig, Scottish Community Safety Network Manager, said: "The community safety grants have supported local engagement and helped raise awareness of the risks associated with construction work and rail safety.
Projects can apply for up to £250.00. Applications must be submitted before 27 February 2015. For more information on the grant please contact info@scsn.org.uk.

There's No More Trouble for Me

Still timely.
11 September 1999 | by Sardony – See all my reviews
Horribly melodramatic, but psychologically complex, well-directed and excellently edited. Spencer Tracy is an innocent man assumed guilty by a mob and "lynched." Making this 1936 film still-timely are the growth of the mob and its trial, conviction and execution of Tracy based only on speculation and emotion instead of on evidence and reason. Also, the line, "I will remind the jury of the easy habit of putting on foreigners events that disturb our conscience" comments on a tendency that still exists today (just listen to talk radio here in Massachusetts!). The story touches on many issues - morality, humanity, patriotism, law, politics, media, etc - and, as such, raises many issues for discussion. Teachers might consider showing this film in class as a start-point into exploration of today's issues. Spencer Tracy gives an appropriately melodramatic performance, but Edward Ellis as the town sheriff gives the best (albeit small) performance. For entertainment value, I'd give this film 6/10; but for fans of any of the stars, the director, or for advocates of civil rights and justice, this film is worth about 8/10; finally, as a tool for teachers, 10/10.

AMB Theatre Podcast #13 presented by LATB : 3-D Theatricals' JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT
Tagged as:	Joseph
(photo credit: Isaac James Creative)
The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father's favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. He is purchased by Potiphar where thwarting advances from Potiphar's wife lands him in jail. When news of Joseph's gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly, unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.

Overpaid or worth the cash? Here's how 10 highest paid assistant football coaches stack up
Tom Schad
Another college football season has come and gone, and salaries for assistant football coaches continue to balloon.
This season brought the first assistant with an annual total compensation of $2.5 million — LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda as well as 20 others who made seven figures, a record number for a single season. Some of the highest-paid members in the group, like Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables, led their units to new heights, while others didn't exactly justify their enormous salaries for 2018.
Here's a look at which of the 10 highest-paid assistants earned their keep this year, and which ones appear overpaid.
DATABASE: Salary data for nearly every FBS assistant coach
1. Dave Aranda, LSU defensive coordinator
Total pay: $2.5 million
Verdict: Overpaid (barely). This is not so much about the performance of the LSU defense this season, which has generally been solid, nor Aranda's track record as a coordinator, which is superb. Really, it's just the fact that he's now being paid more than 69 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches — including 10 in the Power Five — and his unit is ranked outside the top 20 in most major statistical categories. (LSU is currently ranked 22nd in the Football Bowl Subdivision in scoring defense.)
2. Brent Venables, Clemson defensive coordinator
Verdict: Worth it. Venables' salary isn't cheap, but his units continue to rank among the best in the country, year after year. This year's Clemson defense, for example, ranks third in the FBS in rushing defense, third in sacks per game, tied for second in scoring defense and fourth in total defense — all while helping lift the Tigers to an undefeated regular season.
3. Kevin Steele, Auburn defensive coordinator
Total pay: $2.05 million
Verdict: Overpaid. Steele got a huge raise in the offseason, but his unit has taken a small step backward in 2018. Auburn's defense has still been pretty good, mind you; It's now ranked 18th in the country in scoring defense. But defensive lapses in key games — the Tigers gave up 400-plus yards in four of their six Southeastern Conference West division games, including 500 in a lopsided loss to Alabama — have proven to be problematic for a team that ultimately has underperformed at 7-5.
4. Mike Elko, Texas A&M defensive coordinator
Verdict: Overpaid. The Aggies boast one of the country's best rushing defenses but have been terrible against the pass, ranking 109th out of 129 FBS teams. They have also forced just nine turnovers this season; Only Oregon State, which has eight, has created fewer takeaways.
5. Todd Orlando, Texas defensive coordinator
Verdict: Overpaid. The Longhorns are 9-3 and in the midst of a turnaround under second-year coach Tom Herman, but Orlando's unit has been statistically average this year. The Longhorns' defense ranks 57th in points allowed and 68th in yards allowed, and their third-down defense, which ranks 109th, is among the nation's worst.
6. Jim Leavitt, Oregon defensive coordinator
Verdict: Overpaid. Last season, in his first year at Oregon, Leavitt's unit finished 76th in the FBS in scoring defense and gave up 30 points per game in the Pac-12. This year, after Leavitt received a $550,000 raise, his unit is tied for 63rd in scoring defense and gave up 29 points per game in the conference. That's a significant cost for a marginal improvement.

t-7. Greg Schiano, Ohio State defensive coordinator
Verdict: Overpaid. Give the Buckeyes credit for beating Michigan and winning the Big Ten, but that doesn't change the fact that their defense has been incredibly mediocre this year. Schiano's unit has given up 30 points or more in five games, including 49 in a loss to Purdue and 51 to a middling Maryland squad. And after finishing eighth in total defense a year ago, they're now ranked No. 55.
t-7. Mel Tucker, Georgia defensive coordinator
Verdict: Worth it. Though head coach Kirby Smart obviously keeps a close eye on the defensive side of the ball, Tucker also deserves credit for a unit that is tied for 15th in scoring defense and 13th in total defense. The Bulldogs haven't created many turnovers but have otherwise been pretty stout, allowing 30 points just twice — in their only losses to LSU and Alabama.
9. Pep Hamilton, Michigan passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach
Verdict: Worth it. The Wolverines' offense was much improved in 2018 with Ole Miss transfer Shea Patterson at quarterback, finishing the regular season ranked No. 19 in the country in scoring offense and 18th in passing efficiency. Hamilton's unit also has done a terrific job controlling the ball — Michigan is fourth in the country in time of possession and committed only 10 turnovers in 12 regular-season games.
10. Todd Grantham, Florida defensive coordinator
Verdict: Worth it (barely). The Gators weren't exactly world beaters on defense this season, and their performances in a few key conference games (like the loss to Missouri) were rough. But there was plenty of improvement in Grantham's first year, as Florida now ranks 21st in scoring defense after finishing 72nd in that category a year ago.

"The use of databases and chess engines will be prohibited for this challenge." (games unrated)"
Really ? Looks strange to me... So what about 6-pieces tablebases ?
you are the boss, if say soo, for me is ok. But for shure some not going to do that. And now we have a big problem, the OTB Vs CC rating. Cairo from GK have an elo in OTB +2300, mor or less the same at GK an ICCF, but others, the thing's are different. Like me, i'm a +1700 in otb, and + 2000 in this site, and in GK i'm a +1900 (a lot of timeouts put my rating in 1756 now). soo playng in CC without any help (databases like i play in GK) is hard to play at + 2000. And we need players with good OTB rating's to. Like i say, you are the boss. what time controls we going to use?
It's logical IMO to consider OTB ratings if we all play in OTB conditions, without computer assistance... FIDE or self-estimated OTB ratings should prevail over CC ratings (ICCF, FICGS or so) for the pairings.
About 10 players are interested to play right now.
I think you need to contact directly the players.
I have a great experience to play in Gameknot and can say that ALL( or MIN 95%) players with a rating above 1600 elo uses a chess-engine !!
I know of two exceptions: 1. Yelena Dembo, FIDE rating 2466, WGM, IM, and a GM norm; rating at Gameknot 1775; 2. Marius Ceteras, FIDE rating 2427, FM (he missed IM title due to a strange decision by FIDE officials), very well-known correspondence chess personality, chess publisher, organiser etc.; rating at Gameknot 1740 (not in top 2000 there and loses regularly against 1800 rated patzers). Unfortunately Yelena Dembo is no longer playing at Gameknot; they threw her out. Also Marius Ceteras has no ongoing games there during the past month. So you may be right after all: most players above 1600 are using a chess engine (except the WIMs, WGMs, FMs, and IMs rated below 1800), and certainly all players above 1800 (with one possible exception, a WIM from Holland/Russia, who managed a rating slightly above 1800, but she got thrown out also, for being a nuisance). BTW, it boggles my mind why the use of tablebases is allowed there; unlike engines, tablebases tell you the perfect move to play and what the outcome will be with 100% certainty.
I completely agree with H Muller.
In most web-based sites where computer use is forbidden most high-rated players do actually use them.
The most intriguing example is the very well organised www.playchess.de (not related to Chessbase server) where there are two different sections with respectively computer use allowed and forbidden : there are much more players in the "computer forbidden" section but almost all high-rated players in this section are cheaters (I was one of them and I left because I began to fell disgusted with this necessity to cheat for not being crushed).
That's why I came here and that's also why I will not in any case join the team for the match against GameKnot (or others) if the rules are not modified.
Hey, Thomas! That was nicely said. As it's a friendly match, I think the right spirit of sportsmanship will prevail. By the way, why were some players thrown out of GameKnot?!? When you say some of them were a "nuisance", what exactly did they do?!? I don't think a single player of FICGS has so far been thrown out by FICGS officials.
Of course cheating is always a danger, but I doubt more than a small minority of players do it. Chess appeals to those who enjoy solving problems more than to those who need to maintain a artificial number (rating) alongside a fictitious name. Cheaters likely lose interest fairly quickly. I've played at GameKnot and many similar sites. If any more than a half-dozen of my 300 or so opponents were cheating, they were doing so badly.
I agree with you, the match is for fun only, I like the idea whatever the result, even 100-0 :) .. If players use engines, their problem.. we can't avoid the risk totally... I think it's more logical to prohibite databases too or to allow both databases and chess engines, playing "real correspondence chess", and we could have a larger team for sure... Still discussing.
Thomas! Thanks for the info. I hope the FICGS vs GAMEKNOT match will be a success! Hope there'll be some very exciting games!
When I first played correspondence chess, books were encouraged and the few chess engines in existence were garbage. Good quality engines and comprehensive databases have changed the nature of correspondence play. Nearly everyone permits databases (electronic books), although endgame tablebases are less clear. Engines are permitted some places, while banned others. This site is my first foray into CC where engine use is permitted, but I've played at dozens of sites where I can use databases. (I don't believe I've ever reached a position in which tablebases would be useful, except a few elementary positions that any average player could win against Kramnik.) These inter-site matches, it seems to me, nurture connections across the broad community of correspondence players--a rapidly expanding coterie of chess aficionados thanks to the likes of GameKnot and similar sites.
Hello Dirk (Ghysens ) Accordingly with you, there are exceptions - I said that 95% players from GameKnot used computers ! Therefore not 100% !!
Here at FICGS, real names have to be supplied. This gives FICGS a human element that encourages honour and sportsmanship and in my opinion gives this site a clear edge over its rivals.
95% is an interesting figure and quite an accusation. Could you provide some evidence to support this contention, or at least explain the reasons for your belief? I would say from looking at the blunders during my brief stint at GK that if any players between 1600 and 2100 were cheating, they were incompetent engine users. I cannot imagine using an engine for assistance and achieving a rating below 2100 there.
That is the case. GameKnot players who already registered will play under their real name.
Now, there are 12 players in FICGS team.
It seems to me this question of computer use on GameKnot is quite out of topic (and on the wrong forum)... I proposed to GameKnot rep (Thomas) to prohibite any computer assistance (engines + databases) for the match or to simply authorize it, as I think more players from FICGS would play, and surely players from GameKnot too... Then everyone is free to play, accepting the rules and the risk of cheating (quite small IMO), but it's up to I & Thomas to deal with that. This debate shouldn't happen here IMHO.
Games should be really interesting this way.
One match with no computers and one match with.
If I may ask the question, why would you even want to play a match with chess engines?
I don't see the point, except if you're a chess engine addict and can't play without.
I am totally against the usage of chess engines on internet servers, as its just not sportsmanlike and a match where both players agree using engines is IMHO not worth playing it.
My two cents, as I probably share Marius point of view : The same reasons you like to play a match or any game without engines... Challenge, chess beauty, and so on..
Well I guess there's a point in using chess engies, however to a certain degree. If you only play with chess engines and only do the moves that the engine suggests, you shouldn't play chess anymore.
I think I can accept the combination of a sensible player and an engine from an ethical point of view.
Although I still don't like it, but that's just my opinion on it. I did not mean to offend anyone.
It is nice position. Thanks!
After 17.Bxh6 gxh6 18.Qxh6 white easy win, no doubts.
But black has another move, much better, - 17.. d5. After it white wins, too. But now it is harder to win.
I found only one way for white to win after 17.. d5.
P.S. If we move queen from c7 to d8 in the position, then the sacrifice don't work.
I just sent an email about pairings.
Our friendly match against well-known GameKnot chess server is about to start.
2 players still have to tell me their nickname on GameKnot so that Thomas and I can create the games on both servers. If players want to register now, there could be a replacement... Feel free to send an email to info [at] ficgs.com if you're interested to play.
Thomas, did you receive my emails with the pairings & nicknames ?
Yes I got them...let's begin!
Now 10 are ready to play (I sent lately id for Benjamin Aldag)... Ok, I'll create the first 10 games as soon as I have a username for 'cairo', who will play at board #1.
Anyway I'd like to create Glen & Miguel's games first so that it's easier to follow on the tournament page - games ordered by ratings... We're late (sorry to all players), but it's probably better that most games start at the same time !?
Feel free to replace Selby and Michelson with any players you see fit. You have been very in the pairings so far.

Historic 'House of Mayors' scheduled for demolition in Murfreesboro
Even after more than 170 years of history and a designation on the National Register of Historic Places, the House of Mayors is about to come down.
By: Forrest Sanders
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — It's been around for more than 170 years, watching its city change in monumental ways. Now, the historic "House of Mayors" in Murfreesboro is scheduled to come down. It might be happening as early as Wednesday.
Some hate to lose this history. Others say it's simply part of the passing of time.
"I'm 82 years old," said James Rowlett, sitting at a table at City Cafe in downtown Murfreesboro. "I've been around a long time. I value tradition."
Rowlett has more than a few traditions in his life. For one, people around the city know him as T-Bone. It's a nickname that's stuck since the '50s.
"Oh, it's been like Elmer's Glue, y'know!" he laughed.
He also likes a tradition like City Cafe, which was providing a refuge of hot french fries from a rainy, cold outside.
A man who appreciates his city's best traditions of course knows a house just down the street, a house that's been part of Murfreesboro since 1850.
"Yes, sir. I've seen it for a long, long time," Rowlett said.
At the corner of Spring Street and Bell Street is the Collier-Lane-Crichlow House. Locals know it as the House of Mayors. That's because four different local mayors have all lived there.
Even after more than 170 years of history and a designation on the National Register of Historic Places, the House of Mayors is about to come down. A representative for the Rutherford County Historical Society told NewsChannel 5 the house is in major disrepair with the costs going beyond its worth.
A representative for Hensley Group LLC, which owns the property, told us demolition will likely happen Wednesday. The rep said they're saving the house's brick, chandeliers, and as many other items as possible. Hensley Group LLC said they're unsure of the exact plans of what will go on the property, but it will become multiple new homes.
At City Cafe, patrons gave a variety of reactions to the House of Mayors coming down. Some said it's a shame to lose this irreplaceable history.
Rowlett, with his appreciation for tradition, had a very different take.
"A lot of people are like, 'don't do that, don't do that.' I'm not that way," he said. "You have to grow with the flow of time. You can't take history away; I don't care what you tear down. It's like every other house. Sooner or later, these things are going to come to a halt. Life changes. It doesn't sit still."
