Edith Haworth (1878–1953) was an American painter, who studied art in New York and showed her work in New York City and Detroit, Michigan, particularly at the Detroit Institute of Arts. In 1903 she was co-founder and treasurer of the Detroit Society of Women Painters.

Education
Haworth studied under William Merritt Chase at the Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art on Long Island, New York. She studied at the New York School of Art, now Parsons The New School for Design, which was founded by William Merritt Chase in 1896. Haworth had art instruction in Europe.

Personal life
In 1897 she is listed as an artist, and she lived at the same address in 1898. In 1915 she was no longer living in Michigan, but continued to contribute to Michigan Artists exhibitions.

Career

She was at the Detroit School of Art in 1900 and 1904. Three years later, she was a founding member and treasurer of the Detroit Society of Women Painters, which was formed to provide art instruction and broaden artistic opportunities for their members.

In April 1909 Robert Henri made a portrait of Haworth that is in the collection of the Indiana University Art Museum.

In Michigan, she exhibited at the Detroit Society of Women Painters and Sculptors, the Detroit Water Color Societies and "numerous times" between 1905 and 1924 at the Detroit Institute of Art. In New York, she exhibited in 1912 and 1914 at the MacDowell Club; the 1913 International Exhibition of Modern Art, including two watercolors, The village band and The birthday party; and at the 1914 National Arts Club exhibition of the Pastellists. She also exhibited there in 1919 at the Powell Galleries exhibition. Before 1911 she exhibited in Munich. She also exhibited at the Independent Artists Exhibitions.

During February 1931, Morton Galleries held a retrospective of her oil paintings since 1905. The following year her water colors were shown there in January.

ISLAMABAD - With the start of hot summer, mounting circular debt might force some power plants to shut down their operation of electricity generation in upcoming days, worsening load-shedding crisis across the country. Reliable sources in water & power ministry disclosed that Pakistan Electric Power Company (Pepco) has to pay Rs 480 billion to fuel and power suppliers.
They said at present thermal power plants are operating 40 to 50 per cent power generation capacity, which may further drop due to non-payment of dues. They also said that six power plants including Orient, Halmore, Saif, Saphire, Uch and Hubco Narowal have been shut down due to circular debt issue.
�Pepco is to pay Rs 300 billion to Independent Power Plants (IPPs) which were earlier stood at Rs 200 billion,� chairman IPP Advisory Council Abdullah Yousuf said. He said that power crisis would further worsen in coming days due to circular debt, which was mounting on daily basis.
Meanwhile, the Senate Standing Committee on Water and Power was informed on Wednesday that there would be no relief in loadshedding in upcoming season, as people would be facing load shedding at least eight hours.
Briefing, Parliamentary Panel presided over by Senator Zahid Khan, Additional Secretary Water and Power, Arshad Mirza said that financial constraints do not allow running of RFO fired power plants at full capacity.
He said that power subsidy would reach Rs 291 billion by end June against allocation of Rs 185 billion for ongoing financial year. He said that a special bailout package of Rs 20 billion was approved by the caretaker Prime Minister Mir Hazar Khan Khoso but added that government cannot afford financial bleeding for an unlimited time.
He argued that Pakistan was going against international practices with respect to energy mix as no mega hydel project had been started after Ghazi Brotha Hydropwer Project.� �We have to re-fix our priorities and concentrate on coal as the developing countries are giving preference to coal fired power plants. ADB has already offered financing for two blended coal thermal power plants,� he added.
He apprised the committee that at present about 9200 MW electricity was being produced while the shortfall was 3400 MW, however due to line losses and some other technical faults the production was reduced by 1800 MW. He said that ongoing loadshedding would be controlled following the release of Rs 20 billion by Prime Minister as private companies do not provide electricity without money.
Mualana Abdul Ghafoor Haidri expressed his anger and said that Balochistan was being given less than 350MW of electricity even though its share was 700 MW; Arshad Mirza assured him that Balochistan would be supplied up to 500 MW power within the next three days and further improvements would be gradual.
Standing Committee recommended that Indus River System Authority (Irsa) should appoint Members from Federation and Balochistan.
The committee expressed anger over the absence of Chairman Wapda, Raghab Abbas Shah who was accompanying caretaker Prime Minister Mir Hazar Khan Khoso. �Caretaker Prime Minister�s job is to hold general elections and not to take heads of different organisations with him,� Zahid Khan said.
Chief Engineer from Lahore informed the meeting that out of the total production 21pc share was specified for Lahore Division, however it received only half. Senator Zahid Khan said that the information mechanism should be made effective so as to update people and all those officials who show slackness in performing their duties should be fired instantly. The representative of Lesco said that stern steps had been taken in this regard and ten employees were fired. Senator Shahi Syed said that main reason for the current power crisis is non-recovery of outstanding dues.
Senator Gul Muhammad Lot suggested that electricity should be provided to industry and the rich on full cost recovery. He argued that a short term plan may be submitted to the committee in its next meeting. He further stated that Ministry of Water and Power should take all appropriate steps to recover outstanding amount without any fear in the presence of a caretaker set up. �Brief us on your priorities in the next meeting, we should do what we can, to provide relief to the people,� he continued.
Senator Zahid Khan said that electricity price is already high and tariff should not be increased further.
Meanwhile Senate Standing Committee on Rules and Regulations was informed that Senator Mukhtar Ahmad Dhamara got restored power supply to electricity bills defaulters from Kandkot by pressurising Wapda officials.� The senate committee met under its chairman Tahir Mashdi Wednesday in parliament house. The committee reviewed the privilege motions of Senator Mukhtar Ahmad Dhamra and Senator Saeed Ghani. Privilege motion by the latter was disposed of being not pressed further.Chief Executive of Sukkar Electricity Supply Company told the committee that secretary to Senator Mukhtar Ahmad Dhamra asked XEN Wapda by telephone to restore power supply to the defaulting consumers of Kandkot. These consumers defaulted on the payment of outstanding bills to the tune of Rs 19,50,000.� Outstanding bills amounting to over Rs 100,000 have yet to be paid by secretary to senator, he further told.
The committee directed Pesco to recover all the outstanding dues� from defaulters and if any laxity is shown in this regard then the concerned officials of Wapda will be proceeded against under the rules.

UK food tech entrepreneurs buoyed as Britain becomes world's hottest tech start-up hub
By Oliver Morrison
22-Aug-2019 - Last updated on 22-Aug-2019 at 12:36 GMT

The UK tech start-up sector is shrugging off concerns over a no-deal Brexit.
Foreign investors have piled a record £5.5bn into British tech start-ups so far this year, according to official figures.
The UK tech sector has attracted more foreign investment in the first seven months of 2019 than it did during the whole of last year, said the government's digital economy council. Investment in UK startups is reaching new heights, mainly driven by rounds above $100 million, while rounds below $100 million also continue growing.
Tessa Clarke, CEO and Co-founder of OLIO, the UK-based food sharing app founded in 2015, said the news augurs well for the food sector. "The modern food system is no longer fit for purpose - it's unsustainable, generating a quarter of all carbon emissions, wasteful (one third of all food produced is thrown away), it's inequitable (800 million people are hungry), and it's unhealthy, contributing to the global obesity epidemic," she told FoodNavigator. "UK entrepreneurs have quickly realised this and are rapidly innovating in order to both solve these problems and figure out how we can feed a global population of 10 billion people. With incubators, pitch days, meetups, co-working spaces and funds all focused on food tech, there's no better place to be a food tech entrepreneur."
UK tech smashes records in 2019
Between January and July this year, UK-based tech firms received $6.7bn in funding – with $3.7bn, or 55%, coming from US and Asian investors. One of the biggest drivers of 2019 investment includes London-born Deliveroo's $575m Series G round led by Amazon and Fidelity. During the second quarter of 2019, investment in UK tech smashed previous records by more than one billion dollars, putting the sector on track for its best year to date.
The data suggest that Britain remains the most attractive country for overseas tech investors. While all of Europe is experiencing increased interest from US and Asian investors, the trend is the strongest in the UK. Since 2013, UK startups have raised more from US and Asian investors than most of Europe combined. As a result, the funding mix in the UK has dramatically shifted. By contrast, France's funding mix has remained relatively stable.
The UK, added the report, has had a wider mix of investors, compared to Germany, Sweden and France which rely more on domestic and European funding.
Concerns about the effects of a no-deal Brexit appear to have not diminished investors' enthusiasm for the host of unicorn firms (private companies worth more than $1bn) to have emerged in the UK recently.
Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Nicky Morgan, said: "These fantastic figures show the confidence overseas investors have in UK tech with investment flows from the US and Asia at an all-time high.
"We have a longstanding reputation for innovation and the statistics endorse our reputation as one of the best places in the world to start and grow a digital business."
Since 2013, UK tech has attracted double the investment of Germany from US and Asian investors, and six times as much as France. The total amount of investment in the UK from these sources has surpassed $3.7bn in the first seven months of 2019.
With the exception of Germany, the surge in foreign investment from US and Asian investors is higher than the amount received by the whole of the rest of Europe combined. Since 2013, this takes the total amount of money put into the sector by US and Asian investors to $14.6bn compared to a respective $6.5bn and $2.5bn into Germany and France.
Weak pound boosts exports
Britain's weaker pound in the wake of Brexit, meanwhile, has helped exports of red meat from the UK to enjoy a strong start to the year. Shipments surpassed 300,000 tonnes – up 13% on 2018 according to the latest HMRC figures, with more than £711 million worth of beef, lamb and pork products were shipped around the world in the first six months of the year.
This is a rise of eight per cent compared to last year, when red meat exports stood at £658m. Figures show exports of pork and pig meat products rose from 166,000 to 183,000 tonnes, worth £268m – an increase of 15%.

To get my daughter to take a break from Pokemon Go this summer, my wife insisted she read a total of three books, and not just the comics she loves (Dork Diaries, anything by Raina Telgemeier) but something appropriate to her grade level (she is entering middle school this year). So I suggested on a pact. My daughter, my wife, and I would each pick a novel, a total of three, and share our thoughts about them when we were finished. My wife chose The BFG, because, I think, of the recent trailers for the Steven Spielberg film; I picked The Giver; and my daughter, Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life (for obvious reasons).
Roald Dahl is best known for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was a favorite film of mine growing up. I also liked the Tim Burton version, but not as much. He also wrote The BFG, which is, without question, a simple story written for kids. There are only two main characters to speak of, Sophie, a little orphan girl, and a twenty-four foot giant who simply goes by the name of The BFG (Big Friendly Giant). Even for children, the story is a bit straightforward, with very few surprises, aside from some unexpected gruesomeness. Everything turns out pretty much as you might expect, though that may not hold true for younger readers. Even so, I found plenty to enjoy in The BFG.
Dahl's writing is economical and direct, so that the pages just fly by. Never once did I feel it was a chore to get through, and the plot itself consists of enough tension and intrigue to keep readers of all ages engaged. The author also likes to make up words, lots and lots of nonsensical words. Dahl is arguably the undisputed king of onomatopoeia-like wordplay. In many ways, I was reminded of Mary Poppins. Much of what happens in the story is utterly absurd. But in this way, the book possesses a child's-eye charm, Dahl's work being less fantasy and more of what I like to call surrealist fiction, more Alice in Wonderland than Harry Potter. Unlike Poppins or Alice, however, which unfold as a series of loosely connected events, The BGF keeps to a single narrative, with a definite beginning, middle and end. There are no trivial, throw-away chapters here. That being said, the ending struck me as something written not by a renown author, but by a kid. I imagine the author sitting with his daughter or granddaughter, asking her how he should complete his novel. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you, as I feel it added to the book's absurdist charm.
While The BFG isn't quite on the level of The Never Ending Story or even Charlotte's Web, I enjoyed it more than Alice in Wonderland or Mary Poppins, and a lot more than A Wrinkle in Time. With a story like The BFG, a lot depends on age, and I would guess that it is likely to appeal more to children under nine. Then again, what do I know? I'm just a jaded, 40 year old writer. So let's see what my 11 year old, Jasmine, had to say.
WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!
Nick: Jasmine, how did you like The BFG?
Jasmine: I liked it. I like how The BFG bottled dreams and blew them into children's bedrooms. Also, how he was able to mix dreams together to make new ones.
Nick: Yes, it was a lot of fun reading about those dreams. Dahl seems to have a great mind for the absurd. Which was your favorite?
Jasmine: I liked the dream about the boy who pressed his bellybutton and turned invisible. His parents kept freaking out because they couldn't see him!
Nick: Yeah, that was a good one. But I have to go with the kid who wrote a book that people literally couldn't stop reading. Pilots were crashing planes because they were too busy reading it, and surgeons were doing surgery while reading it. Those dreams were a nice addition to the story, but it begs the question as to why The BFG collected them in the first place. The author never really tells you.
Hynde (my wife): I wasn't crazy about that part either. I was bothered by a lot of the logical inconsistencies. For instance, the giant kidnaps Sophie, because she is the only person (in hundreds of years) to have ever seen him. I guess I found that a bit implausible. Also, according to the story, giants eat people (adults and kids) on a nightly basis, but this goes largely unnoticed by the public.
Nick: I agree with the logical issues, but it didn't bother me much, I think because I was reading it as something written not only for kids, but by a kid. The questions you raise are ones children typically don't ask, or don't care to have answered. Also, since a lot of the book focuses on dreams, I half expected the "it-was-all-just-a-dream" ending. Typically, these are the worst kinds of endings, but in The BGF, it might actually have worked. At any rate, the story had a dream-like quality to it, where things don't really make sense, especially toward the end. Did any of that bother you, Jasmine?
Jasmine: Not really.
Nick: So, what was everyone's favorite part?
Jasmine: The dreams!
Hynde: I like how The BFG created a nightmare for the Queen of England, so that she would become aware of the giants who were eating kids. That was clever.
Nick: Yes, that was good stuff, and I'd like to add how surprisingly gruesome the whole "eating of children thing" was. I can't imagine a publisher today accepting such a premise for a kid's book. It reminded me a lot of Grimm's fairytales, where Cinderella's sisters are cutting off their toes and heels to fit into the glass slipper. As my favorite part, I loved it when they went to look for giant country, and the helicopter pilots realized they had flown "off the atlas." They were pointing at a blank page, saying, "we must be somewhere here." That kind of nonsense is something Dahl does really well, and it lets you know not to take the book too seriously (or literally). I also love Dahl's puns, especially when The BGF tells the Queen how the other (evil) giants had gone to Baghdad to "bag dad"—after they had eaten a father along with his family!

The Link Between Asteroids and Meteorites
In theory, asteroids and meteorites are made of the same basic elements; it's just that asteroids are much much bigger. But scientists had always found troubling chemical differences between the two kinds of objects. New data gathered by the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa, which recently visited the near-Earth asteroid Itokawa, shows that there's a good reason for the difference. It's the long-term effect of space weathering – solar and cosmic radiation – that changes the surface of asteroids to look different from meteorites.
Asteroids and meteorites are supposed to be made of the same stuff – at least that's what earth science teachers have been telling their students for decades. But until recently, the data didn't quite fit the story. When researchers compared the near-infrared reflectance of asteroids (as measured from Earth) and meteorites (collected on Earth) they found enough differences to raise doubts about whether the asteroids really could be the source of Earth's meteorites.
A detailed new comparison of the near-Earth asteroid Itokawa with existing meteorite samples confirms that the process of space-weathering can explain the difference in reflectance pattern (spectrum) between asteroids and ordinary chondrites, the most common class of meteorites.
"They [chondritic meteorites] are so abundant, there have to be many, many asteroid sources," said Takahiro Hiroi, a senior research associate at Brown University and the paper's lead author, "but we couldn't find any that matched so clearly, until now. These observations really let us see space weathering at work."
Over millions of years, the flow of high-energy ions and microscopic particles vaporizes the surface of asteroids, depositing a thin film that changes the asteroid's optical properties. Highly weathered areas tend to appear dark and red. (The near infrared spectrum of such areas is shifted toward the red end of the spectrum.)
Hiroi visited several museums and collected dozens of samples of fresh, or newly fallen, meteorites. He rejected many samples because the oxidation caused by rain and air on the Earth's surface changes the rock's composition and interferes with the asteroid comparison. Together with other researchers from the Hayabusa mission, Hiroi compared the near-infrared reflectance spectra of meteorite samples with spectra observed at specific locations on the asteroid.
One sample (from a meteorite dubbed Alta'ameem, for the area in Iraq where it fell) resulted in a near-identical match after correction for the changes that result from space weathering. Those changes include a reduction in mean optical path length – usually a sign of smaller grain size – and an increase in tiny iron particles known as nanophase metallic iron or npFeo.
Hiroi was able to see the effects of space weathering by taking spectra from one light and one dark area on the asteroid's surface. Matching the observed spectra to that of the Alta'ameem meteorite, he estimated that the highly weathered site contained about 0.069 percent nanophase metallic iron and the less-weathered site contained about 0.031 percent. Because Alta'ameem is an LL chondrite, a class that represents only 10 percent of ordinary chondrite meteorites, Hiroi suggests that there must be many asteroids in near Earth orbit with compositions similar to the more common L- and H-type meteorites.
Evidence of space weathering has been seen before on moons and larger asteroids, but such clear evidence is new for smaller asteroids, such as the 550-meter Itokawa. It had been thought that such bodies, with their smaller gravitational fields, would quickly be stripped of the weathered material. This new evidence shows that space weathered material does accumulate on small asteroids, which probably are the source of most meteorites.

White House slams China's 'highly dubious' infrastructure project as Bolton warns Ukraine
EXCLUSIVE: The White House shot back at China and its multibillion-dollar global infrastructure project, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), this week, saying any outcomes would be "highly dubious" and other countries should be wary of working with China.
The BRI consists of China's planned economic infrastructure projects and investments in dozens of countries around the world. While China has claimed its investments will benefit other countries, the initiative has been viewed as China's way to create its own trading economy, with an eye toward dominating global affairs and creating financial dependencies.
"China's Belt and Road Initiative purports to address the legitimate infrastructure demands of the world's less-developed economies, but primarily aims to export China's own economic imbalances – industrial overcapacity, excess labor, large foreign currency reserves – and to convert these into political influence and strategic military access," a senior administration official told Fox News on Wednesday.
"In most or all cases, China's state-driven approach to infrastructure development has facilitated corruption, enabled poor fiscal management and damaged economic governance and institutionality in recipient countries," the official said. "It hasn't taken long for much of the world to recognize that for all of China's claims, the development outcomes of its infrastructure projects are highly dubious."
INSIDE CHINA'S 'MASSIVE' AND 'RELENTLESS' PLOT TO SPY ON THE U.S.
A war of words also escalated between China and National Security Adviser John Bolton, who this week warned Ukraine not to become subject to China's machinations.
Ahead of his trip to Ukraine, Bolton warned about the dangers of BRI. After meeting with officials in Kiev, Bolton said the two countries "share a common commitment to preserving Ukraine's security and sovereignty, and to ensuring it is not subject to Chinese economic exploitation."
China hit back with its own statement.
"We firmly oppose Mr. Bolton's attempt to smear BRI cooperation and to drive a wedge between China and other countries," Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang said Wednesday during a news conference, noting that Bolton's comment "came as nothing new to us."
CHINA ANNOUNCES IT SEEKS 'CALM' END TO TRADE WAR, AS MARKETS TANK AND CURRENCY HITS 11-YEAR FLATLINE
"Unlike the 'America First' policy pursued by some in the U.S., the principle China upholds in its BRI cooperation with over 160 countries and international organizations is extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, which has produced mutually beneficial results," Shuang said. "It is the same with our cooperation with Ukraine. I believe most countries in the world are capable of making independent, fact-based policy choices that are in their own interests."
China has signaled it might buy Motor Sich, a Ukrainian aircraft engine maker, which concerns Bolton and the administration.
"We laid out our concerns about … unfair Chinese trade practices, threats to national security we've seen in the United States," Bolton said in Kiev, Reuters reported Wednesday.
Bolton also said Beijing has engaged in "debt diplomacy" and theft of intellectual property, cautioning Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky against engaging in trade with China.

HMCS Calgary was a Royal Canadian Navy revised  which took part in convoy escort duties during the Second World War. She fought primarily in the Battle of the Atlantic. She was named for Calgary, Alberta.

Background

Flower-class corvettes like Calgary serving with the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War were different from earlier and more traditional sail-driven corvettes.  The "corvette" designation was created by the French as a class of small warships; the Royal Navy borrowed the term for a period but discontinued its use in 1877. During the hurried preparations for war in the late 1930s, Winston Churchill reactivated the corvette class, needing a name for smaller ships used in an escort capacity, in this case based on a whaling ship design. The generic name "flower" was used to designate the class of these ships, which – in the Royal Navy – were named after flowering plants.

Corvettes commissioned by the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War were named after communities for the most part, to better represent the people who took part in building them. This idea was put forth by Admiral Percy W. Nelles. Sponsors were commonly associated with the community for which the ship was named. Royal Navy corvettes were designed as open sea escorts, while Canadian corvettes were developed for coastal auxiliary roles which was exemplified by their minesweeping gear. Eventually the Canadian corvettes would be modified to allow them to perform better on the open seas.

Construction
Calgary was ordered 20 February 1941 as part of the Revised 1940-41 Flower class building program. This revised program radically changed the look of the Flower-class corvette. The ships of this program kept the water-tube boilers of the initial 1940-41 program, but now they were housed in separate compartments for safety. The fo'c'sle was extended, which allowed more space for berths for the crew, leading to an expansion of the crew. The bow had increased flare for better control in heavy seas. The revised Flowers of the RCN received an additional two depth charge throwers fitted amidships and more depth charges. They also came with heavier secondary armament with 20-mm anti-aircraft guns carried on the extended bridge wings. All this led to an increase in displacement, draught and length.

Calgary was laid down by Marine Industries Ltd. at Sorel on 22 March 1941 and launched on 23 August of that year. She was commissioned into the RCN on 16 December 1941 at Sorel. During her career she had two significant refits. The first began in December 1942 after Calgary developed severe mechanical problems. She was forced to undergo a three-month refit at Cardiff which was only completed in March 1943. The second major overhaul took place between January and March 1944 at Liverpool, Nova Scotia.

Wartime service

After arriving at Halifax 28 December 1941, she was initially assigned to the Western Local Escort Force (WLEF). She remained with that force until November 1942. During that period, on 30 July 1942 Calgary rescued 71 survivors from the crew of the British merchant ship Pacific Pioneer that was sunk by  southwest of Sable Island.

In November 1942 Calgary was deployed to assist in Operation Torch, the amphibious invasion of French North Africa as part of the North African Campaign. However, after arrival in the United Kingdom she developed severe mechanical problems which led to an extensive refit. She only returned to service in April 1943, having never taken part in any duties connected to Operation Torch.

Upon resumption of her duties she sailed back to Canada and rejoined WLEF in April 1943. In June 1943 she transferred to escort group 5, also known as the 5th Support Group, under Western Approaches Command. On 23 August 1943 Calgary, as part of the 5th Support Group, was deployed to relieve the 40th Escort Group which was undertaking a U-boat hunt off Cape Ortegal. The warships of both groups were attacked by 14 Dornier Do 217s and 7 Junkers Ju 87s that were carrying a new weapon, the Henschel Hs 293 anti-ship guided missile. Several sailors were killed and injured on  (40th EG) but Calgary escaped damage. Two days later, the 5th SG was relieved by the 1st Support Group and the warships of both groups were again attacked by 18 Dornier Do 217s also carrying Hs 293s.  was heavily damaged and  was sunk but Calgary again escaped damage.

Later that year on 20 November 1943 Calgary, along with  and , depth charged and sank U-536 northeast of the Azores at . In December 1943, she transferred to the 6th Support Group, before departing for refit in January 1944.

In May 1944, Calgary, after completing workups was ordered to the United Kingdom and in June 1944  was deployed to assist in Operation Neptune, the amphibious invasion of Normandy, France known as D-Day (Operation Overlord). In September 1944, she was reassigned to Nore Command and remained with them for the remained of the war. On 29 December 1944 Calgary depth charged and sank  in the English Channel south of Weymouth at  .

Post-war service
After the cessation of hostilities Calgary returned to Canada in May 1945 and was paid off from the RCN on 19 June 1945 at Sorel. She was sold for scrapping on 30 August 1946 and broken up in 1951 at Hamilton.

Cyanogen shuts down Seattle office; co-founder Steve Kondik separates
Things are not fine at Cyanogen. The company, which was behind the world's leading custom Android ROM, has now consolidated its global sites into a single premise in Palo Alto and separated ties with its co-founder Steve Kondik.
Cyanogen debuted in the world of open source with CyanogenMod seven years back, when Android was just a bairn in the smartphone market. In March 2015, over 50 million CyanogenMod users emerged globally. But the arrival of newer Android versions adversely affected the custom ROM.
CEO Lior Tal has revealed the consolidation of Cyanogen's team in a blog post. "The purpose of the change is to improve the communication and performance of the team which will now operate under one roof. This consolidation effort will allow us to build in greater efficiencies and reduce restrictions in our product development lifecycle," he writes in the post.
Apart from confirming the shutdown of its Seattle premise through consolidating the team under one roof at the Palo Alto office, Cyanogen has formally departed Kondik who wrote the initial custom portions of CyanogenMod.
"Cyanogen has separated ties with Steve Kondik, allowing him to continue to forge his path as he sees fit. We wish him the best of luck in his next venture," Tal added.
Kondik recently reported to having some conflicts with other Cyanogen executives. In a private Google+ post, he blamed Kirt McMaster, another co-founder and chairman of Cyanogen, of "not owning the vision" to run the business.
Last month, Cyanogen shifted its strategy from a complete custom Android platform and planned Modular OS. This was aimed to provide clients dynamic modules and mods on top of Android environments.

Can LeBron James and the Cavaliers shock the world one more time? Photo Courtesy: Erik Drost
Watch the NBA Finals at Big Shucks!
Brought to you by: Big Shucks
By Joel Montgomery
For the 4th consecutive season's end (a league record), the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers will once again face off in the NBA Finals. Albeit this season, with at least a little more resistance than last year, Golden State had their backs against the wall for the first time since Kevin Durant joined their ranks. Fortunately for them, an injured Chris Paul gave them the opportunity to overwhelm Houston in games 6 and 7 to ultimately win the series. As for Cleveland, they enter the Finals with perhaps their lowest-tier squad since LeBron James' Finals debut in 2007, where they were promptly swept by Tim Duncan and the peak-dynasty Spurs. James once again finds himself put up to the task of carrying an under-performing team against an overwhelming powerhouse. After a superb 15th season of milestones and achievements, can the King overcome this final obstacle, even with such stacked odds?
Cleveland's Case
On paper, Cleveland's bench actually stacks up nicely against Golden State's, with both teams having plenty of depth with young players that can provide substantial roles in any given series. While at first hopes were high for Cleveland to hit the ground running with their reshaped roster from the trade deadline. However, they struggled to find a consistent schematic throughout the season. The Cavs' current problem is getting the most, if not just a portion of the output expected from these players on their roster in most games, from guys both young and old. It's an expectation at this point that LeBron James is going to get his in any given contest. But if James wishes to have any success or even have the Warriors look his way on their planned route to another supposedly-easy title, he's going to have to get some kind of support from his cast. Kevin Love's status for the start of the series is still in question due to his concussion from game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, as both his play and durability this postseason have been subpar. Hopefully for Cleveland, he will be able to return strongly and finally give a resonating spark that James and company need.
Golden State's Case
As for the Warriors, ever since Kevin Durant's infamous signing now 2 summers removed, they have seldom faced considerable resistance in their ongoing tenure. As a matter of fact, apart from their last series against Houston, they haven't even been pushed beyond a 5-game series in the postseason. With this in mind, it's been apparent that they enter some games (even in the playoffs) by cruising or playing half asleep with miscommunications and an overabundance of isolation-play in the first half. But all of that goes flying out of the window when they unleash their wrath in the 3rd quarter. With 4 all-stars and an assortment of guys who know and enjoy their role, when the Dubs are locked-in come the second half, it can be a scary sight. Golden State is at it's best when Stephen Curry runs the floor and they play at his pace, with fast transitions, screens and lots of off-ball movement. When things slow down is when they play through Kevin Durant and ball movement decreases considerably–with an over-reliance on iso's. If Cleveland can get Golden State to play untraditionally (as well as, in contrast, be on-fire offensively themselves), then they could have a puncher's chance in these Finals' games.
It might not be what people want to hear, but Golden State is without a doubt the heavy favorites over Cleveland in this series. And while logic and odds might not favor the Cavs, they DO have the one man in James that's chasing the ghost in Chicago, and if he wants another point for the status of GOAT, who knows what he could do.
Prediction: Golden State wins series, 4-1

Abbas Urges European States to Recognize 'State of Palestine'

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas yesterday urged European states to play a more active role in the peace process and recognize a "State of Palestine", reported the Times of Israel.
In a short speech at a two-day summit of Arab and European leaders in the Egyptian city of Sharm El-Sheikh, Abbas said:
"Has the time not come for European states that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to do so, especially in light of your belief in the two-state solution?"

— Children of Peace (@ChildrenofPeace) February 23, 2019
"You have recognized Israel, supported it since its establishment and defended its security. That is your right. But if you'll allow me to say this: Your not recognising the Palestinian right to self-determination in its state is a move that contradicts your values and your European principles".
According to Abbas, the recognition of a State of Palestine would not be a "substitute" for negotiations but rather would encourage Palestinians to maintain hope for peace.

The Times of Israel reported that,
"Abbas also called on the Europeans to play a greater role in peace negotiations and repeated his frequent call for an international peace conference not under the auspices of the US".
Abbas also reiterated his support for the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, the implementation of which he described as "the only way to achieve peace, and this is what all the Arabs are standing behind".

Torquay United had been both the last team to finish bottom under the old election system, and the last team to finish bottom of the League and survive due to the Conference champions not having a good enough ground. However, this season they finished bottom and dropped out of the League. They were joined by Boston United, who went into administration in the 87th minute of the season's final game (but would still have been relegated even without the 10-point administration penalty).

A superb camera for beginners and intermediate users; an extended set of scene modes complement a full set of pro-style exposure controls.
Excellent touch screen makes navigating menus and setting camera modes easy. Easy to use, but offers lots of features to explire. Lightweight but rugged, and takes sharp, clean photos even in very low light.
Excellent photo quality. A solid choice, but we recommend the D3300 for a little more performance at a similar price.
Users agree that this is a superb basic DSLR that takes great photos right out of the box. Packed with all the most commonly-used features.
Some users complain about its heft and a sometimes confusing interface.
This is an excellent, affordable entry-level camera that is compatible with the whole family of Nikon accessories (including a Wi-Fi adapter).
Point-and-shoot automatic features produce great results in most situations. Customers are happy with its very sharp photos with great color, as well as superb low light capabilities.
Advanced controls are clumsy to navigate. Video capabilities are limited and some users complain about poor sound quality.
Less expensive models offer similar quality and reliability. Not worth the extra cost for unreliable wireless features.
Easy to use, lightweight, versatile, and takes beautiful, high-quality pictures. Overall, a solid camera with a good battery life.
The wireless SnapBridge feature that transfers images to phones is not always reliable.
A superb camera with fun and practical "extras" like Wi-Fi connectivity and GPS.
Many users love the swivel-out LCD display, which makes it easy to shoot from almost any angle.
When you think of great cameras, the Nikon brand name jumps immediately to mind.
Nikon Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras render an excellent performance in many areas of photography.
With smartphone cameras taking over the point-and-shoot sector of the camera market, DSLRs continue to grow in popularity.
In fact, many people looking for a good beginner camera now seek an entry-level DSLR instead of a point-and-shoot camera.
Nikon offers a host of DSLR cameras that range from entry-level models to professional-level models. This gives photographers who love Nikon the opportunity to find the DSLR that meets their skill level and budget.
DSLR cameras borrow their shape and basic interior design from 35mm film SLR cameras.
If you're already using a smartphone camera or a point-and-shoot camera, you may wonder whether you need a Nikon DSLR. Mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras have also become popular. Below, you can read about the pros and cons of different types of cameras.
Most people carry a smartphone at all times, making it handy to use as a camera. People love the ability to share photos instantly on social media, and a smartphone camera excels in this area. The touchscreen operation of this type of camera simplifies its usage quite a bit over a DSLR.
The image quality of a smartphone camera remains well below that of a DSLR camera, especially when shooting in harsh lighting. You get significantly less optical zoom capability with a smartphone camera than you do with higher-quality camera lenses.
To find a lens for a Nikon DSLR camera, it has to be compatible with the Nikon F-mount.
Many point-and-shoot cameras are smaller and weigh less than DSLR cameras. Point-and-shoot cameras are extremely easy to use. If you'd like a large telephoto lens that can reach far-off objects, the cost is lower in a point-and-shoot camera than the cost of a DSLR telephoto lens.
Overall image quality in a point-and-shoot camera cannot match a DSLR. If you want to shoot action photos or have a minimum shutter lag, the DSLR dramatically outperforms the point-and-shoot camera. You cannot swap out lenses with a point-and-shoot camera to gain new features.
DSLR cameras cost more than point-and-shoot cameras because they offer higher-quality interior components that control processing speed and image quality.
A mirrorless camera has a thin body similar to that of a point-and-shoot camera, yet it provides image quality closer to a DSLR. You can use interchangeable lenses with a mirrorless camera, adding versatility. Mirrorless camera bodies tend to offer more design style and versatility than DSLRs.
As a general rule, a mirrorless camera cannot match a DSLR camera in terms of image quality and performance speed. (They're close, but they're not quite equal yet.) The interchangeable lenses can be expensive over time.
Nikon DSLR cameras use EXPEED image-processing chips. Newer and faster EXPEED chips include the EXPEED 4 and EXPEED 5.
A DSLR camera produces the best image quality and best performance speeds of any camera. Interchangeable lenses give the photographer more versatility. DSLR cameras are much easier to use than they were several years ago.
The only significant downside to a DSLR involves expense. DSLR camera bodies are pricey initially, and owners incur added costs for lenses and other accessories.
Those who own a Nikon DSLR camera will want a camera bag to protect their equipment during transport.
Nikon DSLR cameras will carry one of two sizes of image sensors. These image sensor sizes can affect how your lenses will work, so you need to know the difference.
A DX-format image sensor measures 24mm by 16mm, making it the smaller of the two options.
The FX-format image sensor has about the same dimensions as a frame of old 35mm film. The image sensor measures 36mm by 24mm. You'll also hear this referred to as a full-frame image sensor camera.
The Nikon D5500 is an exceptionally strong camera for beginners and intermediate photographers at a great price. It features both simple automatic controls and advanced manual controls to help your photography skills grow. Its 24.2 megapixels of resolution will fit the needs of most non-professional photographers, creating amazing photographs. The D5500 is fun to use, as it offers special effect features and full-HD movie recording.
Because of the way the Nikon DSLR lenses are designed, they have different capabilities with different image sensors. For example, Nikon makes both DX and non-DX lenses.
For a DX lens, you'll see "DX" in the name of the lens somewhere. If the Nikon DSLR lens does not say "DX" in its name, you'll refer to the lens as a non-DX lens.
DX lenses can be built smaller because they're designed to work with the smaller DX image sensor. Non-DX lenses are larger and heavier. We've collected some additional information on these two types of lenses as follows.
With Nikon DSLR cameras, you can use either a fully automatic shooting mode, a fully manual mode, or something in between. These cameras offer great versatility.
If you use a DX lens on a DX image sensor or FX image sensor Nikon DSLR camera, you'll receive a greater telephoto capability than the lens has typically. Nikon calls this situation the crop factor for the lens.
DX lenses feature a crop factor of 1.5x. So a lens with a stated 50mm focal length would look like a 75mm focal length on the DSLR camera because of the crop factor.
This feature works well for people who want more telephoto capability, but as a trade-off, you lose some wide-angle capability.
If you use a non-DX lens on either a DX or FX Nikon DSLR camera, no crop factor occurs.
When comparing Nikon cameras, pay attention to whether it uses a DX or FX image sensor. FX sensors are larger with better performance levels, but they also cost more.
You'll find Nikon DSLR cameras in several different price ranges. The list here focuses on the camera body only, rather than kits with the camera body and a basic lens.
The most basic Nikon DSLR cameras cost $300 to $750. These include slightly older models as well as newer, basic cameras.
Most of these DSLR cameras offer 16 to 24 megapixels of resolution.
The Nikon D5300 DSLR camera represents a slightly older technology, but it still works very well. With 24 megapixels of resolution, most photographers get excellent results from this camera. The D5300 shows its age a bit in terms of operational speed. However, the best part about purchasing a slightly older piece of tech like the D5300 is that you'll save a few hundred dollars in the process.
Also called intermediate-level cameras, these Nikon DSLRs carry a price tag of between $750 and $2,000.
You may find some older pro-level cameras in this price range, but most feature the latest technology. These cameras offer between 20 and 35 megapixels of resolution.
DSLRs run the range from cheaper models aimed at beginners to high-cost cameras for professionals.
Pro-level Nikon DSLR cameras are some of the best digital cameras ever created. You can expect to pay more than $2,000 for these DSLRs and perhaps as much as $10,000.
They carry all of the latest features, the fastest processors, and the highest megapixel counts – usually well over 30 megapixels.
Nikon is one of the most trusted camera brand names, dating back to the days of film cameras.
Q. What are some extra costs I may incur with Nikon DSLR cameras?
A. Beyond the cost of the camera body, you can expect to pay for add-on components. For example, you may have to buy extra lenses separately. Individual lenses can run anywhere from $100 to $1,000 or more. Additionally, you can purchase things like memory cards, extra batteries, and external flash units to use with your Nikon DSLR camera.
Q. How do pro-level Nikon DSLRs differ from entry-level Nikon DSLRs?
A. You'll initially notice the price differential between these levels of cameras. An entry-level DSLR body can be found for around $500, while Nikon pro-level DSLRs will cost $2,000 or more. For the extra cost of a pro-level DSLR, you'll receive a larger image sensor, which results in better image quality. You'll also enjoy faster performance than an entry-level DSLR, resulting in less shutter lag and more shots per second.
Q. What is a kit lens?
A. When you shop for a Nikon DSLR camera, you may see some models sold as the camera body only and some models sold with a kit lens. The package with the kit lens includes both the camera body and a basic lens, so you can begin shooting photos immediately. The package with just the camera body has no lens in the box, so you must purchase a lens separately before you can begin shooting.
Q. Will older Nikon lenses work on a new Nikon DSLR camera?
A. Yes. As long as the lens makes use of an F-mount, it will fit. All Nikon DSLR cameras make use of the F-mount so that all Nikon F-mount lenses will fit all Nikon DSLRs. The only Nikon lenses that won't fit a Nikon DSLR are those interchangeable lenses made for Nikon mirrorless cameras. Even some F-mount Nikon film SLR camera lenses will fit Nikon DSLRs.
The ability to change out lenses gives the DSLR camera more versatility and is one of its greatest strengths.

Q&A WITH JACQUELINE HOBBS M.D., PH.D.
By: Kim Rose, Sarah Stanley
Over the past three years, a hardworking group of doctors, nurses and operations leaders have led a process-improvement initiative to enhance care for emergency patients with behavioral health conditions. Their approach aims to preserve the dignity of this vulnerable patient population in the acute care setting. A specific priority has been to improve E.R. patient transport and hand-off to other units, emphasizing a safe and respectful experience for each customer.
The Behavioral Health Work Group, or BHWG, has expanded to include representatives not only from emergency medicine, psychiatry, nursing and patient services and operations, but also from facilities, legal services, pharmacy, quality and safety, security, social work and transportation. The group now addresses issues such as patient elopement prevention, suicide screening and assessment, involuntary hospitalization (Baker Act and Marchman Act) training and tracking, hand-off communication, safety concerns for patients and staff, privacy concerns and patient education. The BHWG's evolution has provided a very active hospital wide, multidisciplinary forum for faculty and staff discussion, problem-solving and strategic development as advocates for patients with behavioral health challenges. One major outcome has been a complete overhaul of our inpatient suicide risk screening and assessment, based on new requirements from The Joint Commission.
Guiding the work group for two years has been its chair, Jacqueline Hobbs, M.D., Ph.D., a UF College of Medicine associate professor of psychiatry. She also serves as the psychiatry department vice chair for education, residency training director and a physician director of quality, or PDQ.
What does quality in behavioral health care mean to you?
To me, quality means that every patient, no matter where they enter our system, will have their behavioral health concerns recognized and addressed in a dignified and compassionate manner. It also means standardizing our processes to offer the best possible outcomes. In July, we updated our suicide screening process. Without these standard questions, quality outcomes may be adversely impacted. Health care providers may not ask about risk factors in the same way, and serious indicators could be overlooked.
How does a person's mental health affect other aspects of their health?
It is difficult to have good physical health without good mental health and vice versa. In the worst-case scenario, someone could end their life, but there is also a full spectrum of harmful effects that impact achieving one's full potential in life, including poor performance in school and work, troubled social function or isolation. Additionally, even if a health care team formulated the best treatment plan for a patient's physical needs, if mental health is not addressed, the patient may never carry out that perfect plan, and their overall health will continue to suffer.
How does the Behavioral Health Work Group address stigma in mental health?
The BHWG provides a forum for a multidisciplinary group to evaluate and work on improving our current practices. I think talking about mental illness in the BHWG — educating each other on how to treat mentally ill patients both personally and medically — helps overcome the stigma.
Why do a patient's psychiatrist and psychologist notes remain private and inaccessible to other health care providers? How does that create a barrier to providing the best patient care?
Our patients frequently move between non-behavioral and behavioral health care arenas. Providers in each need to know certain facts to provide the best care. Psychiatrists and psychologists are held to high standards of confidentiality, both ethically and by law, and their notes are kept under lock and key. Part of our notes contains the intimate details our patients share with us, which aren't necessary for other health care staff to know. We also document medications patients are taking, side effects they've experienced and their health histories — that's what other providers need to know. The plan is to keep the intimate details in a separate, private note — and make the other, relevant information in the patient's medical record available to other physicians and staff.
How is UF Health preparing the next generation of medical professionals to care for patients with behavioral health concerns?
Our medical students spend six weeks on a rotation focused on psychiatry and addiction medicine. That's a significant rotation in medical school. This time is crucial to helping future doctors understand these disorders and their impacts on overall health. In addition, our psychiatrists visit other departments to educate physicians and staff on these issues. We also have Handle with Care courses that demonstrate how to engage with these patients.
What research has sparked your interest lately?
Part of my background is in research, so I'm very interested in gene therapy for mental illness— finding genes that impact mental health and learning how to replace them. On the other hand, I'm an educator, so I have been engrossed in psychiatry curriculum redesign. We are constantly discovering different and better teaching methods, and neuroscience is continuously evolving, so we have to keep up.
