Bored with his deteriorating world and the laconic way of his fellows, shinigami Ryuuk drops his Death Note on Earth and watches to see if it stirs up anything interesting. His plan succeeds beyond his wildest expectations when the Death Note is found by brilliant high school senior Light Yagami, who is also bored with a world he considers rotten. Although initially he regards the book as a prank, Light soon discovers, through experimentation, that the book's claim is true: picture a person in your mind as you write the person's name in the Death Note, and that person dies 40 seconds later of of a heart attack (although a different time frame and manner of death can be specified). Armed with that power, Light sets out on a quest he sees as noble: make the world a better place by eliminating all its criminals using the Death Note. Soon cast as the mysterious "Kira" (a Japanese pronunciation of the English "killer") in the media and on the Internet, some take exception to his playing god, most notably the police and the enigmatic master detective L, who resolves to do everything in his power to stop Kira. Light counters by doing everything in his power to prevent people from identifying or interfering with him, even if that means getting rid of people investigating him.

The series takes place in the near future, when it is possible to instantaneously measure and quantify a person's state of mind and personality. This information is recorded and processed, and the term "Psycho-Pass" refers to a standard used to measure an individual's being. The story centers around the "enforcement officer" Shinya Kougami, who is tasked with managing crime in such a world.
In the future, it is possible to quantitatively measure a person's emotions, desires, and every inclination. In this way, it is also possible to measure a person's criminal tendency factor, which is used to judge criminals.
This is the story of a team of policemen dedicated to maintaining public order. Some of them work in the Enforcement Division, responsible for the apprehension of criminals, while others belong to the Supervisory Division which oversees their colleagues in Enforcement.

As a result, it should be noted that any views expressed – including on matters relating to environmental, social and governance considerations – are those of the author(s), and may differ from views held by other Jupiter investment professionals.

1 tsp (5 ml) pumpkin pie or apple pie spice or 2 tsps cinnamon in total.
3 tbsp (45 ml) shredded, sweetened regular coconut.
8 oz (250 g ) cream cheese – I use lite, Neufchatel, soft at room temperature.
1 tsp (5 ml) gf vanilla extract – don't be heavy handed as it overpowers.
1 can – 8oz, 250 g- crushed pineapple in juice, drained well.
2. Spray a 10×15 jelly roll(swiss roll) pan and line with parchment (greaseproof) paper, pushing paper into the edges and corners and up the sides for overflow. Spray paper as well.
3. Put eggs, both sugars and vanilla in large bowl (stand mixer) and whisk for several minutes until mix is fluffy, increased in volume and whisk leaves trail in the egg mix.
4. Mix flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, spices and salt with shredded carrots.
5. Gently fold flour carrot mix into whisked eggs taking care not to deflate.
6. Spoon mix into jelly roll pan, gently spreading it to the corners and edges. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and coconut. These give a different texture and help stop cake from sticking to dish towel when cooked and turned out.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes. Cake should have risen almost level with top of pan, nice light golden color and feel cooked but soft fluffy.
8. Remove from oven, place lint free towel on top of cooling rack, place rack with tea towel on top of cake, flip and remove jelly roll pan. Tear small pieces of the parchment paper off the cake. If you try and tear large pieces, cake can be caught and tear.
9. Loosely roll cake with lint free towel caught inside to make a short fat roll. I leave for only about 15-20 minutes to cool down. If you leave cake for 45-60 minutes, then it cracks when you unroll.
If you don't feel confident rolling cake, then cut it into 2 or 3 strips in either direction and stack like a layer cake. It will taste just as good.
Beat really soft butter and cream cheese together. If they are hard then you won't get smooth mouth feel and little blobs of hard butter and cream cheese will be visible.
11. Unroll jelly roll after 15-20 minutes. It won't lie flat. If it is still quite warm in the middle, let it cool for about another 15 minutes. Gently spread filling to edges, trying to make filling reasonably even. Make sure you spread to the edges, nothing worse than no filling.
12. Spread with drained crushed pineapple, there isn't that much.
13. Re-roll with seam underneath, place on serving plate and refrigerate or serve immediately.
14. Remove from fridge so filling can soften. With butter it can stiffen to piping consistency.
I've made regular carrot cake for years – I always had to make one for a friends party, Rick had the carrot cake (even at Christmas) and Karen had my chocolate peanut butter cheesecake. I know, I get told by friends what dessert to bring to a party and it doesn't matter that it's gluten free and they're wheat eaters, it still gets demolished. I was tweaking this recipe and took it to a chamber of commerce luncheon as I really don't need a full size jelly roll in the house. One of the young men came back for seconds, said I could make it for him anytime and had no idea it was gluten free. I always try and simplify my recipes as none of us have time for involved methods and lots of dirty dishes. I saw one recipe that cooked the carrot and puréed it. That just didn't work for me. I tried cooking shredded carrot in the microwave, but it didn't make a difference, took more time and dirtied another dish. I like the shreds of raw carrot, gives texture and does cook in enough time.
I prefer the finished cake served at room temperature, the filling softens and the whole jelly roll melts in your mouth.
Don't worry about length of recipe, it's easy and I try to give as much advice as possible to help you.

Hi, Spurs fans! Were you feeling like there was a dearth of narrative in your life? Fret no more: Liverpool have hired Jurgen Klopp, and his first match is at White Hart Lane.
3-2, 0-3, 4-0, 0-5. We all know the scores from the previous four matches against Liverpool, all losses. The Reds have had Spurs' number the past few seasons, and it's been more or less ugly. But this time it feels different. On paper, Spurs would actually seem to have the upper hand. They are the in-form team at the moment, having lost only one league match all season. But it's Jurgen Klopp. Also, it's Liverpool, and this is the kind of match that always seems to come back to bite Spurs in the rear end.
The Kloppster (is that a thing? Can we make that a thing?) is bringing a banged up squad that is minus Christian Benteke, Jordan Henderson, Danny Ings, Roberto Firmino, and Jon Flanagan. Spurs are likewise missing Ryan Mason, Nabil Bentaleb, Son Heung-Min, and Alex Pritchard, while Eric Dier misses the match due to suspension. So it doesn't look that great for Spurs' midfield, either.
However, that's what we said about the Manchester City match, too, and that turned out pretty good. In a sense this could be the best possible time to face Liverpool: they're under new management and haven't yet found their feet. Three points against a club that's outscored us 15-2 the past four meetings would sure make a statement, wouldn't it?
Let's gegenkick their ass. COYS!

All I-129 petitions, whether initial requests or requests for extension of visa status, will be subject to the same level of scrutiny, USCIS has confirmed. The agency will no longer defer to the findings of a previously approved petition even when the key elements of the petition have remained unchanged. This will affect most nonimmigrant workers in the U.S.
This is another policy change following President Donald Trump's "Buy American, Hire American" Executive Order.
Each case will be reviewed on its own merits and the burden of proof in establishing eligibility will remain, at all times, with the petitioner. Employers filing requests for extension for their employees cannot assume that if the petition was previously approved, it will be approved again. This will heighten the anxiety that employers and foreign national employees are already feeling due to the Administration's stance on foreign national employees and the protection of U.S. workers.
The USCIS policy regarding "deference" has been in effect since it was set out in a 2004 policy memorandum. In a separate 2015 policy memo regarding L-1B adjudication, USCIS reiterated its deference policy with regard to L-1B extensions. Both the 2004 memo and the section of the 2015 memo regarding deference now have been rescinded.
The official rescission of the deference policy comes as no surprise. Immigration attorneys and employers have seen heightened scrutiny in the form of numerous Requests for Evidence (RFEs) from USCIS seeking further documents and information in order to approve extension requests. At first, such RFEs appeared to affect primarily H-1B cap cases, but it then became clear to practitioners and petitioners that extensions also were being subject to RFEs at an increased rate. USCIS' latest policy memorandum simply formalizes what had become the apparent policy.

A Primer on Reformed Christianity
Elder, Agros Church
In this age of the blogosphere, the question often arises among Christians: What is Reformed Theology? A popular belief is that holding to TULIP, or being a Calvinist, fills out the whole definition for what is meant by the term, "Reformed". While this is a vital aspect of the Reformed tradition, there are many other components to it that often go overlooked. In this primer, I hope to introduce Reformed Theology by means of its historical roots, and provide a basic background and definition for what has historically been defined as the Reformed Christian tradition.
Reformed Christianity describes not only a particular doctrine of soteriology, or manner by which man is saved, but also provides a rich means of religious life and practice. On October 31, 1517, in Wittenberg (pronounced Vittenberg), Germany, an Augustinian monk by the name of Martin Luther posted 95 theses, or debate points, onto the church door. The church door is where all announcements were made, so imagine it being like a community announcement board. Martin Luther's students took his 95 theses, written originally in Latin, and translated, copied, and distributed them throughout the city, and before the end of the week it had become a massive controversy.
The 95 theses were largely a protest against the Roman Catholic sacramental system that had grown predatory and abusive, particularly relating to the selling of indulgences to people to pay for time out of purgatory for themselves and loved ones as well as a correction regarding penance, which Luther pronounced to be an incorrect understanding of the text, "do penance" (Mat. 4:17). Luther held onto several Roman Catholic practices such as a form of transubstantiation that his understudy Philip Melanchthon later solidified in the Augsburg Confession. That branch of the Reformation ended up being the starting point for Lutheranism
Just before Luther nailed his theses, Desiderius Erasmus created a translation of the Bible into Latin from the Greek, also wildly controversial at the time. This led to his collation of a New Greek Testament, which he called the Novum Instrumentum - New Instrument. This Greek New Testament was published in 1516. It was later revised and updated by Stephanus and Theodore Beza and was the starting point for the Textus Receptus - the received text, the primary text used to translate the King James Bible. It was this project that fueled the fire Luther started in 1517, and with the help of the printing press and men like William Tyndale, freed the Word of God which had laid locked up in Roman Catholic libraries for 1,100 years in the form of Latin Vulgate, a 5th century translation of the Bible. Since the common people did not read Latin, the Roman Catholic Church had functionally forbidden the Word to be read. For his part, William Tyndale's goal in producing an English translation of the Bible was so that even the common boy who plowed the fields would know more Theology than a Catholic priest.
During the Reformation period (16th century), protestant religion exploded. Men like Ulrich Zwingli produced his own 67 articles, which further solidified the protestants' rebellion against the Roman Catholic church. The Roman Catholic church responded quickly, and in 1545 held the Council of Trent, the counter-reformation council. As a result, the authorized persecution of men like William Tyndale was set in motion; he was captured and executed. Despite this, almost 90% of Tyndale's english translation of the New Testament now lives on in the King James Version of the Bible.
The Five Solas (Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, Soli Deo Gloria) became the battle cry of the reformation. These five pillars declared that salvation came by grace through faith alone in Christ (Eph. 2:8-9), to the glory of God alone, and that all matters of faith and practice were to be derived from Scripture alone. In the unbridled distribution of the Word of God to the people of God, the church realized that God did not need Papal authority to be saved. Justification found its proper home in the church as an act of God upon men, and salvation did not require the man-made sacramental maintenance of grace, which can only be offered by the Roman Catholic church. Jesus was exalted as the author and finisher (Heb. 12:2) of faith once again by the people of God.
With the Word of God unleashed into the world, the number of trained, protestant Theologians exploded. John Calvin released his first edition of "The Institutes of the Christian Religion" in 1536 and began the systemization of Christian doctrine in print. John Knox in Scotland influenced the covenanting of the entire nation to Christianity. William of the House of Orange in the Netherlands established a legacy of Reformed churches for the following three centuries, which produced men like Petrus Van Mastricht, Wilhelmus A Brakel, Geerhardus Vos, Herman Bavinck, and Abraham Kuyper. The Dutch Reformed church produced a long lasting confession of faith in 1561, the Belgic Confession, which is still the standard for the Dutch Reformed church, alongside of the Heidelberg Catechism and Canons of Dort, which form the Three Forms of Unity.
At the beginning of the post reformation period (17th Century), Reformed churches throughout the world sought to solidify protestant doctrine in the form of confessions of faith. As a result, the Westminster Confession of Faith was produced in 1647 and the second London Baptist Confession of Faith in 1689. The Savoy Declaration was also drafted by a committee led by Thomas Goodwin and John Owen as a congregationalist response to the Westminster Confession of Faith. The Three Forms of Unity, the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Savoy Declaration, and the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith are the long-lasting doctrinal products of the Protestant reformation. The goal of the framers of these confessions was to create a doctrinal representation of Biblical teaching for the ages to come.
Reformed Christianity has a rich and fascinating history that is calvinistic, confessional, covenantal, centered on both church life and home life with catechism.
The Five C's of Reformed Christianity
Calvinistic
T - Total Depravity (Rom. 3:23; 5:12; 8:7)
U - Unconditional Election(Eph. 1:4,5)
L - Limited Atonement(John 6:37,44,65)
I - Irresistible Grace(Rom. 8:29)
P - Perseverance of the Saints(Phil. 1:6)
TULIP, or the doctrines of grace, describe a Biblical model of salvation - that men and women are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone. Man is (T)Totally wicked apart from God from the time they are born due to the first man, Adam. God in His goodness and by His pleasure, (U) unconditionally elects man unto salvation before the foundation of the Earth, not according to any merit of those He saves, but purely according to His own will. God's unconditional election is (L) limited to only those whom He elects and those Jesus died for on the cross. Outside of Christ there is no salvation. When God unconditionally elects a totally depraved person, they are changed in heart and mind by the power of the Holy Spirit and having a new heart, (I) cannot resist the grace that has been showered upon them. God, in His goodness, gives assurance to those who believe, and by His mediation and intervention, causes the believer to (P) persist until the end of their life in the faith. The believer thus is secure in their salvation, being equipped for every good work, to God's glory and their enjoyment in Him.

Synod of Dort
The people of God have set their beliefs in stone from the beginning of time, by God's command to Moses first in Genesis, continuing on throughout history. We find early forms of confessions and creeds in the New Testament in the Epistles, the Apostolic Church Fathers with the Regula Fidei, and of course the Creeds of the 3rd and 4th centuries. Later on, as a product of the Reformation, the church set in stone a Body of Divinity in the confessions and catechisms. The confessions that were produced and have been used by the church for hundreds of years include the Westminster Standards, the Belgic Confession, the Savoy Declaration, the London Baptist Confession of Faith, and many other similar documents. These confessions and creeds are not above Scripture in authority. In fact, they are the strongest tools the church has to defend and protect a pillar of the Reformation, Sola Scriptura - Scripture alone. The confessions provide a comprehensive exegesis of what Scripture says, with Scripture proofs, so that the believer can be fully equipped (2 Tim. 3:16-17) to handle any question or challenge to their faith. Confessionalism is rich, time tested practice of Reformed believers all over the world.
Covenantal
God has always operated through covenants with His people. In the garden He gave Adam and Eve a covenant of works, one whose sole requirement was to abstain from the fruit of one tree. Having broken this covenant, Adam and Eve are the first in a pattern of covenant breaking by God's people, yet God proves Himself a faithful covenant keeper. After Adam and Eve violated the covenant of works, God, by His good pleasure, applied to them a curse that would affect all of their children, instead of killing them outright as he had warned (Gen. 2:17). In this transaction, God makes another covenant, a covenant of grace. The covenant of Grace is the only covenant by which man is saved. In Genesis, God, through the covenant of Grace, continues His pattern of relating to man by means of covenant, promising that by the seed of Eve, a savior will be born that would crush the head of the serpent. This savior is Jesus Christ, from eternity to eternity. Proceeding forth from that point on, we see scripture tell a covenantal story of God promising salvation to His people by means of washing them clean. He gives this promise in various forms to Noah (Gen. 9), Abraham (Gen. 15), Moses (Ex. 20), David (2 Sam. 7), and finally, Jesus, the faithful covenant keeper (Hebrews 7:22). Covenant Theology is simply the product of viewing the Bible as a story of redemption, a story that points to Christ in every page.
Church-based
The Church, being composed of both those who are partakers in the covenant of Grace (internal) and those who are associated by family (external) to those who are partakers in the covenant of Grace, respond in obedience to God by meeting on the Lord's Day, the Christian Sabbath, first instituted in creation on the last day of the week and made new on the first day of the week in Christ. On the Lord's Day, Reformed Christians put aside all matters of recreation and work to honor the rest that they have in Christ, who has done the work for them. Reformed Christians celebrate the Lord's Day by faithfully observing the regulative principle of worship, which is restricts the practice of the church during service to what is prescribed for worship in the Bible. The regulative principle of worship requires faithful preaching from the text of Scripture by qualified elders, the singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (Eph. 5:19) in accordance to the Scriptures, such that the congregation may be heard singing over the volume of the worship leader, the participation in the sacraments (Communion and Baptism) administered by qualified elders, the reading of Scripture, and praying congregationally, also led by qualified elders. Activities on the Lord's Day are centered around fellowship, which means that before and after the church service, additional instruction is given by means of Sunday School and evening services.
Catechetical
Catechism is a daily practice in the home of a Reformed believer. Reformed Theology extends past the corporate worship service on Sunday and into the homes of the members of Reformed churches. Catechism includes daily reading of Scripture and the confessions, the memorization of catechisms, prayer, and singing of Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Historically, a man would not be able to take communion if he was not leading his family in this daily endeavor. For instance, Wilhelmus A. Brakel, a Dutch Reformed pastor, would not administer communion at his church until he had personally visited each home in his congregation to ensure catechism and family worship was being practiced in his church. This is practiced by single men and women by training themselves in such practice, either under the leadership of their father, or under the leadership of elders at their church. Catechism is the means by which the leaders of households equip their families to provide a defense of the faith, be emboldened in personal devotions, and be outfitted with a body of divinity from an early age.
Reformed Christianity: A Historically Rich Tradition Founded in Biblical Truth
The Reformed faith has a history dating back to the 1500's, and a Theology dating back to the Apostles and the Prophets. The combination of a strong belief that God has worked in history through covenants with mankind, Calvinistic soteriology, adherence to a confession and catechism, and a focus on church life and fellowship makes the reformed tradition a complete system that enriches the life of the believer in private, family, and corporate devotions. This tradition seeks to provide a structure to devote not just the heart to God, but the whole being (Deut. 6:5).

Q: No of items in PCollection is not affecting allocated no of workers I have a pipeline which comprises of Three steps. In First step which is a ParDo which accepts 5 urls in a PCollection. And each of the 5 items generate thousands of urls each and output it. So input of second step is another PCollection which can be of size 100-400k. In the last step the scraped output of each url is saved to a storage service.
I have noticed that First step which generates the url list out of 5 input urls got allocated 5 workers and generates new set of urls. But once the first step is completed no of workers get reduced and reach 1. And while second step is running it's only running in 1 worker (with 1 worker my dataflow is runing for last 2 days So by looking at the logs I am making a logical assumption that the first step is completed).
So my question is eventhough the size of the PCollection is big why it's not split between workers or why more workers are not getting allocated ?  Step 2 is a simple web scraper which scrape the given url and output a string. Which is then saved to a storage service

A: Dataflow tries to connect steps together to create fused steps. So even though you have few ParDos in your pipeline, they'll be fused together and will be executed as a single step.
Also once fused, scaling of Dataflow is limited by the step at the beginning of the fused step.
I suspect you have a Create transform that consist of few elements at the top of your pipeline. In this case Dataflow can only scale up to number of elements in this Create transform.
One way to prevent this behavior is the break fusion after one (or more) of your high fanout ParDo transforms. This can be done by adding a Reshuffle.viaRandomKey() transform after it (which contains a GroupByKey). Given that Reshuffle is an identity transform, your pipeline should not require additional changes.
See here for more information regarding fusion and ways to prevent it.

This seems like an odd title for a Post from an "expert" on Pressure Points?
Well, yes and No. Let me explain further.
One of the most common questions I get asked at a Seminar or a Course is "Why do these points cause this effect?".
It is a very valid and fair question.
We are all there to learn right?
The problem is, that I can't really answer the question in a setting of that format.
You see, the Why question is a great one, but it opens up a whole lot of other issues with the question.
My short answer to the question is this "Because it just does".
This sounds flippant and appears to be dodging the bullet right?
Actually no… it is because in that format it is about the best answer I can give.
My explanation (which I also give) is below.
For me to truly explain how and why these points cause these reactions would PRE-SUPPOSE that you already had a detailed enough understanding of too many things for me to give an answer that truly befits the question.
Let me throw this analogy at you.
You get a phone call from your Friend Mr Smith.
He tells you that Mrs Smith has slipped on the Ice and is in Hospital with a broken Hip.
You FULLY understand everything within that one sentence.
Now we get to the WHY Parts.
Why did Mrs Smith slip on the ice?
Well we ALL KNOW that ice is slippery.
Well that then begs another question, why is ice slippery? And so on and so forth!
Why did Mrs Smith Fall?
We we all know about gravity?
Well that then begs another question, why does gravity make you fall to the fall? And so on and so forth!
Why is Mrs Smith in Hospital?
Well, we all know that if you have an accident you will be taken to Hospital.
Which begs the question, why do we have hospital?… and so on and so on.
Why does Mrs Smith have a broken Hip?
Well, we all know that if you fall you could break your hip.
Which begs another question, why did Mrs Smith not break anything else?
All of these why questions are not needed BECAUSE we have PRIOR and existing knowledge of all of the above.
So when Mr Smith tells us about the accident to the poor unfortunate Mrs Smith, we understand everything very quickly.
We understand because we just know that's the way it is.
It Just Does Happen That Way.
And that, is how I have to explain WHY Pressure Points work.
My answer of "Because They Just Do" is not flippant.
It is because I can't do justice to the question in that setting.
Sometimes we just have to accept that it works because it does.
It's All Just A Guess Really!
or you could say: overstimulation of the human sensory system causes an dramatic effect on the organism.
It is simple. for every action there is an equal reaction. The action for a pressure point is normally a strike of some sort.
that same strike to a different location causes a measured input to the sensory system (nerves and brain) and the body reacts.
When a pressure point is accurately struck, the sensory system is either overwhelmed or tricked into a more dramatic response than seems appropriate for the force applied.
It's the same as poking your thumb into your hip bone and using the same force to poke your thumb into your eye ball. Same force, but a markedly different response. Pressure points are like the eye ball of our anatomy. A little force extracts a great reaction.

Deathstroke's outing in Ben Affleck's The Batman script revealed
September 21st, 2017	by Dave Bowling	Comments
Trying to get a standalone Batman project off the ground is apparently something akin to climbing the north face of the Eiger. At night. Backwards. In clown shoes.
Ben Affleck's position as writer, director and star of The Batman, originally slated to come out next year, has significantly diminished since he stood down as director in January. Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) was brought in to helm and rewrite the project, leaving us to wonder what a man with Oscars for screenwriting and directing might've made of it.
Some clues were revealed recently when The Wrap's Umberto Gonzalez did a live video on Periscope where he revealed details he'd learned of Affleck's original script. As previously suspected, the main villain of the piece was intended to be Slade Wilson himself, Deathstroke. The plot was also supposedly inspired by the 1997 David Fincher movie The Game:
"Sources tell me it's inspired by The Game, where Deathstroke is setting up all these traps and beating the crap out of him…"
For the uninitiated, The Game saw Michael Douglas play an investment banker brought into a mysterious game by his brother, that sees a mysterious organisation infiltrate every aspect of his life. Losing his money, home and eventually brother, he finally discovers that everything has been staged all along. How this would directly relate to Deathstroke and Batman is unknown, but it does sound like an interesting concept.
The sheer confusion over the project has led to inevitable changes in staff, and it's no longer even certain that Deathstroke will even be in the film. Still, we can but hope…

What Happens To First Time Offenders in Wyoming?
Wyoming has a one time diversion program called "Probation Before Sentencing". A person convicted of a 1st offense is not sentenced but placed on probation for 6 months, during which time they must participate in an alcohol education or treatment program according to their assessment. Upon successful completion the conviction is removed and the record is cleared. You may participate only once in this program.
At the court's discretion as a condition of probation.
If you are under 21 and your BAC was as little as .02% or greater, you will you're your license suspended and may be fined as much as $750. First-offense suspensions are for 90 days.
In Wyoming, the period of time in which a judge or administrator can review an offender's record (the "look-back" period) is 5 years. If you have had no DUI or related offense in the last five years, then you are considered a first offender.

Note that there will be a series of performances of Die tote Stadt at the St Gallen City Theatre in May/June 2014. It seems that advance booking is already open. Warning: Swiss hotels are outrageously expensive for what you get, so why not stay overnight in Germany - it's only 20-25 miles away.
Thank you very much for the tip Peter!


Welcome to the December 30, 2011 edition of ACM TechNews, providing timely information for IT professionals three times a week.
Please Note: In observance of the New Year's Day holiday, ACM TechNews will not be published on Monday, Jan. 2. Publication will resume Wednesday, Jan. 4.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) recently wrote U.S. Department of Commerce secretary John Bryson and National Telecommunications and Information Administration administrator Larry Strickling, asking them to review plans by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to add potentially hundreds of Web suffixes beyond .com and .org because it could cost companies millions of dollars. "It is prudent for you to ask ICANN to re-evaluate its current plan," Rockefeller wrote. "You should consider asking ICANN to either delay the opening of the application period or to drastically limit the number" of new domain names. Corporations such as General Electric, Johnson & Johnson, and Coca-Cola have joined with the Association of National Advertisers to oppose the expansion, claiming it will increase costs for companies, confuse customers, and create new risks of Internet fraud. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission recently recommended that ICANN introduce the expansion as a pilot program and reduce the number of domains created. ICANN's Kurt Pritz says the changes are designed to "benefit the billions of Internet users through increased competition, choice, and innovation."
Hackers who have shut down Web sites by overwhelming them with Web traffic could use the same approach to shut down the computers that control train-switching systems, says Technische Universitat Darmstadt professor Stefan Katzenbeisser. "Trains could not crash, but service could be disrupted for quite some time," he says. Although GSM-R, a mobile technology used for trains, is more secure than conventional GSM, which is used in phones, security experts recently showcased a new attack for GSM-R at the recent Chaos Communication conference in Berlin. The software encryption keys, which are needed for securing the communication between trains and switching systems, are downloaded to physical media such as USB sticks and then sent around for installing, which raises the risk of them ending up in the wrong hands. "This will be a big issue in the future, how to manage these keys safely," Katzenbeisser says.
Recent studies indicate that cars' increasing reliance on computer systems that control everything from airbags to crash-avoidance systems has left them vulnerable to cyberattacks. "I can definitely imagine organized crime or potentially even nation-states leveraging weaknesses in these functions to cause different kinds of havoc," says Intel's Ryan Permeh. Car manufacturers are taking the threat of cyberattacks very seriously. For example, Ford's Rich Strader says the company is "working to ensure that we've developed a product that is as resistant to attack as possible." The threat also is being addressed by the U.S. government. "The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is aware of the potential for 'hackers' and is working with automakers to better understand what steps can and are being taken to address the problem," according to an agency statement. University of South Carolina researchers recently hacked a vehicle, causing the tire-pressure warning system to send fake alerts to the vehicle's dashboard. University of California, San Diego professor Stefan Savage says it will be difficult to anticipate all of the schemes that could come about in the future. "I would be quite surprised if there are not additional vulnerabilities," Savage says.
The United States is rapidly adding to its collection of supercomputers, with new high-performance computing (HPC) systems under development at various labs. However, there are not enough people who know how to make use of all the new supercomputing power, say HPC industry experts. This talent shortage is the "missing middle," meaning there are enough specialists to run the handful of world-beating supercomputers that cost a few hundred million dollars, and plenty of people who can manage ordinary personal computers and servers, but there are not nearly enough people who know how to use the small and midsized HPC machines that cost between $1 million to $10 million. "We need people who can build the applications and algorithms needed to effectively use the equipment," says the University of Tennessee's Jack Dongarra. The Virtual School for Computational Science and Engineering is a program that offers online courses for graduate students who want to learn how to use HPCs. This year, 1,000 students participated, up from 40 in 2008 when the program began, according to National Center for Supercomputing Applications director Thom Dunning.
Researchers at the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center are using the Apollo Zone Digital Image Mosaic and Digital Terrain Model, as well as new image-processing algorithms, to map the lunar surface in the closest detail ever. The maps cover about 18 percent of the lunar surface at a resolution of 98 feet per pixel. "The main challenge of the Apollo Zone project was that we had very old data--scans, not captured in digital format, [which] were taken with the technology we had over 40 years ago with imprecise camera positions, orientations, and exposure time by today's standards," says Carnegie Mellon University-Silicon Valley's Ara Nefian. The researchers created computer vision algorithms that automatically generate the two- and three-dimensional maps. "The key innovation that we made was to create a fully automatic image mosaicking and terrain modeling software system for orbital imagery," says NASA Intelligent Robotics Group's Terry Fong. In the future, the researchers plan to expand the use of the algorithms to include imagery taken at angles, instead of just straight down at the surface.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed Boxie, a documentary-making robot designed to wander the streets shooting video and asking random people to tell an interesting story. "The idea was to create a robot that was interesting enough for people to engage with it and offer to help it, carrying it around and up and down stairs to show it things," says MIT researcher Alexander Reben. Boxie uses ultrasound sonar to detect walls and obstacles, and is equipped with a body heat sensor that alerts the robot when it has found a person. "Boxie has a script in which it asks people questions and asks them to pick it up and show it around an area like a lab or mall," Reben says. Over a few days, Boxie conducted about 50 interviews, which the MIT researchers edited down to a five-minute documentary. "A coherent movie was easily produced from the video clips captured, proving that their content and organization were viable for story-making," according to the MIT team. Bristol University's Robotics Laboratory director Chris Melhuish says that "future smart machines will need such social intelligence to interact naturally--utilizing appropriate gestures, body pose, and nonverbal communication, for instance."
Microsoft Research's Bill Buxton believes the recent touch technology explosion is part of a theory called the Long Nose of Innovation, which states that much of the innovation behind any technological breakthrough actually takes place over a long period of time. Buxton says the Long Nose theory has led to touch technology such as iPads, which are being used for a variety of practical applications. In Arlington County, Va., for example, elementary school students use the tablet computers for writing, math, and reading graphic novels. The county also provides enough iPads for every student in a special education program. Apple says that more than 2,300 U.S. school districts have iPad programs for students or teachers. Hospitals are also exploring the usefulness of iPads. For example, doctors are using the tablets to inform patients and other care takers of changes in a patient's health status. Meanwhile, Samsung and Microsoft recently released Microsoft's Surface, which looks like a table, but is actually a multi-touch computer. "Not only is it a display that can present graphical information to you, each pixel can be thought of as like a camera element in a digital camera, or scanner," Buxton says.
Malaysia must produce its own cyberinformation security software, because relying on foreign software could risk information leaks and intelligence breaches, according to Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) computer science and information technology dean Ramlan Mahmod. "For the realization of this information technology, the country needs to acquire 'technical knowhow' in information security and expertise in various fields such as computer science, mathematics and engineering," Mahmod says. The country needs to execute the foundation work, such as training more experts in information technology and by bringing more foreign technologies into Malaysia. The information leaks could happen when the data is in transmission or it could be hacked out of existing data storage, according to Mahmod. The Malaysian government needs to be heavily involved in the development of a cyberdefense system, which needs financial commitment, expertise, legislation, and continuous monitoring. "Cybersecurity is the same as national security involving many operational aspects such as prevention, defense, detecting, intelligence and attack," Mahmod says.
Pressure sensors in car seats could be used to identify drivers and could help provide anti-theft protection. Researchers at the Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology have developed a system that uses sensors to take precise measurements of a driver's posterior, its contours, and the way the person applies pressure on the seat. The researchers say a car seat identifier could serve as an alternative to biometrics techniques such as iris scanners and fingerprint readers. They note that pressure sensors would not carry the same level of stress and psychological baggage as other biometric techniques. The team has lined a bucket seat's lower section with sensors that measure pressure on a scale of 0 to 256. The seat's 360 sensors send information to a laptop, which aggregates the information, generates the key data, and produces a precise map of the seated person. The device recognized people with 98 percent accuracy in lab tests, and potentially could be used in office settings when people log onto their computers as they sit down.
Toyohashi University researchers are developing a telepresence robot that will give humans more physical immersion in remote locations. "We have to provide tactile feedback to make him or her more involved, and also motion feedback so we can feel more like we are human on the robot side," says Toyohashi professor Dzmitry Tsetserukou. The Toyohashi researchers have developed NAVIgold, a robot that allows a human controller to guide it remotely using torso movements, and receive physical feedback from the robot. The system is programmed to detect the shape and speed of obstacles on all sides of the robot to make navigation easier and safer. The researchers found that using the torso gave almost the same precision of navigation as using one's hands. The team is currently working on refining the system. The researchers want to give the robot more human-like features, such as an expressive face that reflects the user's emotions, and arms covered in warm, touch-sensitive material. "This kind of robot can enhance our ability to live and to spend our time more a more useful way," Tsetserukou says.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researchers are developing a portable, wearable system to measure walking patterns that can be applied to real-world activities in a variety of settings, and could be used to help injured soldiers lead a more active lifestyle. "For example, if an amputee soldier wants to train and return to active duty, we need to understand how he or she would fare on a military training course, which you can't measure in a laboratory setting," says ORNL researcher Boyd Evans. The researchers' ultimate goal is to improve prosthesis performance for young adults. The ORNL team also wants to develop a gait analysis system that can be utilized outside of a confined laboratory setting. "This will allow advanced rehabilitation techniques to both be used in smaller clinics and to be taken outside the clinic," Evans says. The data collected from the system is transferred to a computer, and algorithms calculate the motions and forces associated with specific joints. The researchers think this system "will improve the prosthetic fitting and aligning process and help lower the risk of chronic joint disease in this group of wounded warriors," says ORNL researcher John Mueller.
The latest data analytics research is concentrating on searching for trends, patterns, and other useful insights about people's preferences and behaviors that might be hiding in massive amounts of data. "Big analytics toward the end of the year became the big term and into next year it will be the big term," says analyst Rob Enderle. "Analytics is really the core of what will be happening in everything from medical research to advertising." At this year's Web 2.0 Summit, the theme was unlocking the power of big data, and the topic was explored by top Internet company executives. "Analyzing data can tell you want resonates and what doesn't," Enderle says. "Applied to elections it could be the difference between winners and losers." He notes that IBM's Watson computer demonstrated the technology's power by beating people on the Jeopardy! TV show, and he predicts that data analytics will lead to many breakthroughs. "You can do some amazing things by drawing conclusions from information you already have but couldn't make heads or tails of before now," Enderle says.

Kaepernick gift lets 'I Will Not Die Young' expand violence prevention work
February 14, 2017 by Emmy A. Yates Leave a Comment
Muhibb Dyer, co-founder of the nonprofit I Will Not Die Young, was the keynote speaker at a Diversity Dialogue hosted by MATC in December. (Photo by Keith Schubert)
When "I Will Not Die Young" co-founder Muhibb Dyer learned that his organization had received a $25,000 donation from Milwaukee-born Colin Kaepernick, quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, he thought it was a prank.
"I have no idea to this day how Kaepernick became aware of our organization," Dyer said.
Kaepernick attracted attention this past football season by refusing to stand during the national anthem to protest police brutality toward African-Americans and other minorities.
Since Kaepernick's protest, he's created a national conversation on wrongdoing against people of color. He also has pledged $1 million to support nonprofits that work with teens in African-American communities.
Two Milwaukee organizations, Urban Underground and I Will Not Die Young, each received a $25,000 donation from Kaepernick.

I Will Not Die Young is an initiative that teaches boys and girls in middle school through high school how to identify the sources of their pain in an effort to reduce violence. Writing workshops are used to create an outlet for students to express themselves in a positive way.
"People who are hurting, hurt other people," Dyer explained.
After Dyer's godson was murdered in 2005, Dyer and Kwabena Antoine Nixon created the Flood the Hood With Dreams campaign, which was later taken over by MPS, becoming "Saving Our Sons — I Will Not Die Young." While the program is no longer an MPS initiative, it still serves MPS by conducting workshops in schools.
In 2016, I Will Not Die Young worked with approximately 25 MPS schools. Workshops reached between 200 and 1,000 children each.
The organization plans to use the $25,000 contribution to offer more workshops and "peace assemblies" in schools and juvenile detention centers, where participants are encouraged to talk about their personal pain.
The group also intends to bring in speakers and facilitators to help educate young people about college and planning for their future. Other funds will be used to buy materials for workshops and seminars.
With a bit of theatrical flair, the organization also invested in a coffin.
"We wanted to begin our presentations by using real-life scenarios like being in a casket and showcasing where the path of violence and recklessness can lead you," Dyer said.
At a recent peace assembly, the presenter started a conversation with the 150 attendees by exiting the casket, said Dyer. The main goal of these assemblies is to stop children from believing that they can't get off the path to violence.
"I never thought I was going to finish school or go onto college," said Mantrell Williams, who participated in I Will Not Die Young for two years. "Muhibb and Kwabena took me under their wing and we set up goals and we made plans for my future."
Williams said he was homeless and not attending school when he discovered the organization. Now enrolled in community college in Minnesota, Williams credits I Will Not Die Young for putting him on the right path.
"They make a real change with individuals like myself from the community, and I feel like everyone should get behind what they're doing," Williams said.
Dyer said I Will Not Die Young is grateful that Kaepernick remembers his Milwaukee roots. Dyer added that he admires Kaepernick's activism.
"When you take a political stance, your sponsors can leave you and that sacrifices your money," Dyer explained. "Mr. Kaepernick is a throwback to former activists and athletes during the civil rights movement."
Dyer added that Kaepernick's activism highlights one of the organization's proverbs: "We're ultimately defined by making the world a better place."
"He isn't investing his money in a status quo organization; he's putting his money towards disenfranchised populations who struggle to exist," Dyer said. "It was very honorable of him to contribute."

About Emmy A. Yates


OK, so the run is over. I'd hoped it could last forever, which comes from the same part of me that also believes we can win the Premier League one day - it's technically possible but ludicrously unlikely.
As I look back over the last few months and our excellent performances I want to say thank you to everyone involved, you've made many people sit up and take notice of our football club and made us all very proud.
There is a part of me that worries that we still need another four or five wins to keep us out of the relegation zone. It might seem unlikely that we will be troubled in that direction but until those points are on the board it's still an uncertainty, so hopefully we can find those wins soon.
Looking back at the goal that beat us, it was an audacious strike from Marcus Madison. When you look back at the goals we've conceded, there have been some very good ones from distance, the goal in the Walsall game and the one in the Plymouth game stick in my mind. I think it speaks volumes about our defensive capabilities that teams often have to do something quite special to get anything from us.
I was apprehensive about missing Junior Brown and Mat Sadler but I thought they dealt with their challenges competently and apart from the wonder goal they kept a clean sheet. You're always going to miss players like Brown and Sadler but both Joe Riley and Omar Beckles are more than able replacements. Hopefully they'll both be part of our next good run of form.
This week saw Paul Hurst celebrate a full year as Shrewsbury Town manager and it's been rather good so far. He's taken a team limping toward relegation and turned them into one with purpose, tenacity and industry. An incredible turnaround that has surprised literally everybody!
Looking ahead to next weekend, we have a break from League One with the visit of Aldershot of the National League. They sit just one point and two places below the play-off positions and will be hoping to cause an upset but like us, they lost at the weekend after a decent unbeaten run.
On Sunday afternoon, Shrewsbury Town Ladies won 5-0 at home to Brereton Town Ladies with the seemingly unstoppable Katie Doster scoring a brace. Next weekend the Ladies are away to Staffordshire based Bilbrook F.C.
