Cheney and democracy: Letters

The politicians who are claiming our democracy is at stake are the ones taking action to demolish democracy. Liz Cheney and Hillary Clinton are sounding the trumpet against former President Trump that he will destroy democracy if elected in 2024. Liz's father committed a crime when he pushed then-President Bush to take military action against Saddam in Iraq. Vice President Cheney did more harm to democracy in America than President Biden and President Trump combined, while enriching himself using the revolving door between political office and war manufacturers. Dick Cheney is the main reason we spent so much time, effort and money in a losing cause trying to spread democracy in a place where people cannot accept it as the U.S. tried to force it upon them. Hillary Clinton needs to look into the mirror and have a discussion about her actions while serving in office politics. Both Hillary and Liz must have continuous nightmares with images of the orange man in their dreams.

Jan. 6 peaceful protest
Re "Have the Jan. 6 riot wounds healed yet?" (Jan. 4):
The only "wounds" I have from the incident on Jan. 6 is the hypocrisy of using terminology like riot or insurrection to describe a peaceful protest. We all watched rioters attacking federal courthouses, trying to destroy police stations (some with people still in the buildings) and burn and loot businesses. Why is all that destruction and loss of life not a threat to democracy? Why isn't trying to create an area separate from the United States, remember they called it a CHOP Zone, not an insurrection? Until the media and administration are honest about the riots of 2020 I don't accept their dishonest terminology regarding Jan 6.
— Donni Herrmann, Simi Valley
The homeless count
Re "Volunteers needed for Los Angeles' homeless count" (Jan. 5):
So upsetting to read that they need volunteers to count the homeless. When the first tent was set up on public property it should have been stopped. It has now become a way of life for so many people. The answer is very hard to come by. You can count all the homeless this year and there will be more next year if some major steps aren't taken.

Dr. Fauci the COVID-19 messenger of doom
It's become increasingly more apparent that Americans don't know, at least with any level of confidence, what we are dealing with as we move forward and away from the original pandemic crisis. One day the message is optimistic, another day bleak. Sadly, the messenger has now become almost caricature-like and the messaging out of Washington remains inconsistent and contradictory. Having already received three vaccine shots early on, I can see where "another shot" will likely be the fallback recommendation every time a variant is discovered, in spite of a steady rise in breakthrough infections. That's merely playing catch-up, but not getting ahead of the problem. Americans now need less of Dr. Anthony Fauci and more of the true experts, the ones who are active in their field and not paid consultants, to construct and deliver the messaging to Americans going forward. We need greater clarity.
— Brian J. Goldenfeld, Oak Park
No federal solution to a global virus crisis
So now President Biden says there is no federal solution to the virus, but the federal government can and should aid the states in their individual needs. What was the media response to this? Nothing. Interesting. And yet when Trump opined that states should be responsible for making their own health care decisions not quite two years ago, what did the media say then?
Well, The New York Times said he was ceding any semblance of national government on the pandemic. Biden campaigned on not shutting down the economy but instead shutting down the virus. Well, he did shut down the economy, and he did not shut down the virus. Had Trump totally botched these campaign promises, what would the headlines have been?
I'm still waiting for the media's proportional response to Biden's abject failures on all fronts to his presidency.

It sad to say, but our society is treating Devin Riley unfairly.
He is the Brooklyn, Iowa resident who could possibly be the last person to have seen Mollie Tibbetts before her disappearance. So Devin did what he was right to do, he told police what he knew, and what he saw.
After Devin told authorities that he recalled seeing Mollie on the evening of her disappearance, he and his family have been burdened with unfair and unnecessary treatment on social media and in person.
The hurtful comments and frosty stares are the exact opposite of what Devin should be receiving. Instead of being thanked for providing information to police and media that might shed some light on the case, KCRG reports that he and his daughters are feeling the negative backlash of uninformed and prejudice judgement of the general public.
It is obvious why this kind of public opinion is harmful to the case. What if someone else recalls something, but fears going to police in fear of being ostracized by neighbors or accused of wrongdoing simply by coming forward?
It's sad enough that weeks have gone by with no new leads to help find Mollie.
But to unfairly judge or profile those for simply coming forward with information is wrong, and harmful. This type of behavior needs to stop.
The Crimestopper's reward has increased to over $300,000 but still we wait with hope that someone will come forward with information to help bring Mollie safely home.

In order to give them insight and experience with ministry, Trainees will have the opportunity travel with the company to certain performances in churches or other venues and perform as a part of the company's repertoire. This provides them with ministry experience as well as being able to watch company members perform and minister.
A big part of the heart of In His Steps is mentoring and teaching dancers to grow spiritually as well as improving their technical ballet skills. The Trainee Program provides this for its members. The program's length varies for each dancer, and upon completing the program, dancers will be accepted into In His Steps as company members. Company dancers dance Principal roles in each of the Company's original ballets. Trainees may be promoted to Company at any age.

Antique maps by James Imray
James Imray
James Imray was a publisher specialized in nautical charts. He started one of the most successful blue-back chart-selling companies of the nineteenth century; it is still in business today. Imray's father was a dyer and he was born in Spitalfields, London, an area known for its garment industry. James did not want to enter the garment trade, however, and instead apprenticed to Stationer William Lukyn in 1818. Imray began his business as a book publisher and seller; however, he shared premises with Robert Blachford, a chartseller. Imray entered into business with Robert's successor, Michael. He turned the business into a success and bought Blachford out in 1846, publishing under the imprint of James Imray. In 1854, son James Frederick joined as a partner and the imprint changed to Imray & Son. They thrived thanks to targeted marketing and excellent compilation charts that focused on trade routes. The busines entered in a long decline after the death of James Sr. in 1870. In 1899, Imray & Son amalgamated with Norie & Wilson. This conglomerate was bought by the Laurie firm in 1904 and today the business trades as Imray, Laurie, Norie & Wilson.

Eleanor Roosevelt chose Val-Kill for her retreat, her office, her home, and her "laboratory" for social change during the prominent and influential period of her life from 1924 until her death in 1962. During that time she formulated and carried out her social and political beliefs. This is the place most closely associated with one of the most prominent women of 20th-century America.
Stone Cottage is located on the grounds at Val-Kill and was shared by Eleanor Roosevelt and her two friends, Nancy Cook and Marion Dickerman. The main building at Val-Kill served as a furniture factory. When the factory closed in 1936, Mrs. Roosevelt converted it into a cottage for herself. Upon FDR's death, Val-Kill Cottage became her permanent home.

It's Time to Legalize your Philippines Lending Business
April 14, 2017 March 1, 2017
The War on Money Lenders
Emmanuel F. Piñol Secretary of Agriculture posted on his facebook page on January 10, 2017 that President Duterte ordered the arrest and deportation of foreigners engaged in 5 – 6 money lending.
5 – 6 money lending; are small loans given to small business who cannot obtain bank loans as they are unable to provide collateral. 5 – 6 loans interest rates are usually in the range of 20% a month.
"They are violating Philippine laws by indulging in a money-making business without the necessary permits," President Duterte said.
Indian national are prominent 5 – 6 money lenders and President Duterte has asked Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay, Jr. to inform the Indian Ambassador of his decision to stop the usurious lending scheme in the Philippines.
Foreigners of other nationalities and Filipinos are also involved in illegal money lending schemes.
Risking Arrest
Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre announced that foreigners lending money without permits may be arrested even without a warrant of arrest as they're operating illegally without permits and licenses and therefore are committing a crime.
Following these announcements, there has been a surge in Lending Investors registration with the SEC as people are scrambling to avoid the crackdown on illegal money lenders in the Philippines.
Money lending is highly regulated in the Philippines. Lenders must incorporate as a Lending Investor and obtain a secondary license from the SEC.

Q: Exporting results of foreach loop to CSV The script reads in a .TXT file of computer names. It then checks to see if Windows Update is set to Auto or Manual; the computers name and update type are then exported to a CSV. At first, it was only exporting the final computer and it's type.  I did some research and saw that creating an object to hold the name and type and then adding that object to an array would work.  However, exporting the array to a CSV results in interesting data which is related to the array instead of the computer name and type.  On top of that, I have the array printed out in the console pre-export and it looks to be the last computer and its type listed 9 times, the amount of computers on the one .TXT file I'm reading in.  I know export-CSV now has an append parameter that could take care of this but we have much more PS 1.0 and 2.0 in the office and need it to work on those version.

export-csv -Path "c:\Scripts\pcListCSV" -inputobject $list -notype

A: Ok, a couple things. The script looks fairly good really, all things considered, and a couple little tweaks and it should work fine. Let's approach this a tad different and just construct the object all at once instead of making it then adding noteproperties.
Also, we'll just make 1 call to GWMI (short for Get-WMIObject). I think this will work better for you. First off, making the GWMI call once means we have to select more than one thing when we make it. Since you are really making the exact same call twice, and selecting two different things from it each time, this just kind of makes sense. We're going to skip defining things in a select, and just let $pcName store all the data from the GWMI call. Though, first we're going to make sure that there's no old data in $pcName just to make sure we don't get duplicates.
clear-host

$item = new-object PSObject
$list = @()
$c=Get-Credential
$a = gc "c:\Scripts\pcList.txt"

ForEach ($b in $a)
{
    if(Get-Variable pcName -ea SilentlyContinue){Remove-Variable pcName}
    $pcName = Get-WmiObject win32_service -filter 'name="wuauserv"' -computer $b -credential $c -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Ok, now we create the object, and we'll just add it directly to the array. Here's where we define things like Name and StartupType as object properties, so when you display the array later it shows those two properties for each item. After that we'll close the ForEach loop and both display the list to the screen and pipe it to Export-CSV to save the results.
    $list += New-Object PSObject -Property @{
        Name = $pcName.SystemName
        StartupType = $pcName.StartMode
    }
}
$list
$list | Export-Csv "C:\Scripts\pcList.CSV" -notype

So, this doesn't check to make sure that the systems are online, or do any error checking like that, but if that's OK with you then I think this should do exactly what you need.

Doctors and pharmacists clash over complementary medicines
Categories: Skepticism , Tags: Pseudoscience, Pharmacy, CAM
The Pharmacy Council is trying to change part of its Code of Ethics: Here is the old code:
6.9 Only purchase, supply or promote any medicine, complementary therapy, herbal remedy or other healthcare product where there is no reason to doubt its quality or safety and when there is credible evidence of efficacy.
And the proposed new one:
6.9b Only supply any complementary therapy or other healthcare product where there is no reason to doubt its quality or safety and when sufficient information about the product can be provided in order for the purchaser to make an informed choice with regard to the risks and benefits of all the available treatment options.
The NZ Skeptics have prepared a submission, and asked people to visit pharmacies to gather evidence about how they sell homeopathy:
http://skeptics.nz/latest/alert/pharmacy-council-submission (opens new window)
As part of this, I visited 9 pharmacies and heard some pretty bad claims. Others were told a lot of bad things:
"It brings the body back into homeostasis"
"I have had a number of people tell me it really helped"
"When asked if they were as effective, she said that it has to do with your belief system."
"When asked how the homeopathic remedy that she could order in for me works she said that it would help my body to heal itself"
On Stuff:
Pharmacy Council chairman Dr Andrew Bary said the rules as they stood were "unworkable" and many pharmacists, including himself, were already selling complementary medicines, even if they didn't believe their claims.
The Society for Science Based Healthcare has also prepared a submission (opens new window)

Conan the dog gets hero's welcome at White House after being hurt in Islamic State raid in Syria
Donald Trump described Conan, a Belgian Malinois, as an "ultimate fighter" during the appearance in front of US media.

Dog injured in IS raid goes to White House
A US military dog injured in the raid where Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi killed himself has been given a hero's welcome at the White House.
Conan, a Belgian Malinois, appeared less interested in Donald Trump's praise and more keen on Mike Pence's head scratches.
He even repeatedly looked up at the vice president for more attention.
During Conan's visit to the White House, the president described the canine as an "ultimate fighter", as well as "incredible, brilliant, smart and very special".
Image: Conan was welcomed to the White House by Donald Trump and Mike Pence
Conan was hurt when he was exposed to electrical wires in last month's special forces operation while chasing al Baghdadi at the terrorist's compound in northwest Syria.
Introducing the dog, Mr Trump said: "So this is Conan… right now, probably the world's most famous dog."
He also called him a "tough cookie" and awarded him with a medal and a plaque.

Mr Trump said Conan was initially going to be muzzled for the appearance, but added he thought that would put the dog in attack mode.
Speaking to dozens of reporters in the Rose Garden, he said: "He's not in a bad mood today, so you're safe."
Mr Trump added he asked members of the US special forces if an unarmed man would stand a chance against Conan. The answer was apparently "no".
"Conan is really a hero," Mr Pence said while patting him on the head.
Image: Abu Bakr al Baghdadi killed himself after being hunted down by US special forces
Shortly after al Baghadi's death in October, Mr Trump shared a picture of Conan on Twitter.
The accompanying post read: "We have declassified a picture of the wonderful dog (name not declassified) that did such a GREAT JOB in capturing and killing the leader of ISIS Abu Bakr al Baghdadi!".
Conan accompanied Delta Force soldiers into Syria's Idlib province to hunt down the IS leader.
The dog chased al Baghdadi into a tunnel, where he then detonated a suicide vest killing himself and two of his children.

Q: Should I cycle my Li-ion from 100% to 80% or from 60% to 40% to maximise life? Reading a few other answers including:
this detailed answer,
this one and this one on apple discussions
The evidence in those answers focusses on the 100% start point in the discharge cycle.
Generally there is agreement that the net amount of usage (total current in and out) increases with lower depth of discharge, or at least lower cycle range. I wonder if the word 'depth' isn't a little erroneous. Apparently Li-ion degrades fastest at the highest state of charge.
Many of my devices have design lives of 1000 cycles.  If I want to increase this by reducing the depth of discharge cycles I might say reduce the cycles to 20% rather than 80% cycles.  If I do that is it best to start at 100% and go down to 80% or start at a lower value and go down from there? What is the most optimal point?
I presume starting at 20% and draining to 0% is a bad idea.
The use case I'm most interested in is my laptop, and mobile phone.

A: Both extremes of full charge, and full discharge, reduce the life of a lithium cell. Operating the cell between nominally 80% and 30% SOC will give a greatly improved lifetime.
NASA apparently charge their Lion's to 3.92v instead of the rated 4.1v to maximise their life.


The ceilings soar, the service impresses and the food enchants. The architects of this trifecta are Executive Chef Bryce Shuman, former Executive Sous Chef of Eleven Madison Park, and General Manager Eamon Rockey, formerly of Eleven Madison Avenue as well. Located just off Fifth Avenue on 57th Street, the food is billed as Modern American and it is sublime.
Of particular note are the Ricotta Gnudi with a delicious Moroccan Olive glaze, Sauteed Skate Wing with shaved Cauliflower I mistook for thinly sliced parmesan, and a wonderfully juicy chicken breast with the most lovely assortment of tiny, garden vegetables. But, as humble as it might be, the dish that am still longing for is the Grain Salad with labna and sprouts..OMG..I could live on it.


I went for a casual three hour bike ride today. When I finally returned to Saranda, I had forgotten how to walk. I stumbled a few steps, laughing, before the feeling eventually returned to my extremities.
To the left is the map of the route we took. It was 14.9 KM one way. I am going to call it a 30 KM round trip - completed in a little over three hours .

What Not to Do at the Beginning of Your Career
BoF shares insider tips from industry experts including Lucinda Chambers and Drew Elliott.

LONDON, United Kingdom — The adage "we learn from our mistakes" is never truer than at the beginning of your career. But BoF is here to help, sharing insights and insider tips from industry experts on what not to do when you're starting out.
Fashion Styling and Image Making
Legendary stylist Lucinda Chambers spent 36 years at the forefront of magazine publishing as fashion director of British Elle and British Vogue. Chambers provides her insight on what not to do on a photo shoot, and how to adjust accordingly:
"[It is] a good thing not to hold onto your first idea, not to assume that the first idea you've had about a shoot is necessarily going to be the best idea. Don't hold onto something out of fear, let your head give space for better ideas to come in. When you've had the idea, leave room and gaps for different things to float in. I think that comes with time as well. Leave those gaps, leave those rooms, and don't hang on."
Build Your Dream Career
Musa Tariq, one of a highly select group appointed to the C-Suite under the age of 35, has previously held directorial roles at Burberry, Nike, Apple and Ford, which led to his current position as head of marketing at Airbnb. Tariq explains what not to do while building your network and how to change your approach:
"The best time to build your network is when you don't need something. It's obvious when you're the type of person who reaches out only when you need something. When things are going well in your career, take the time then to reach out to people and foster that relationship. When you do need something, those people are more likely to help than if you just reached out to them when you need help."

The Art and Science of Buying and Merchandising
Susanne Tide-Frater, fashion consultant and brand and strategy director at Farfetch, began her career working in trend development and has since worked for Selfridges, Harrods and Victoria Beckham. Tide-Frater explains what is not conducive to a successful career in buying and merchandising, and how to overcome it:
"Look at your experiences, do not be too adventurous right away, but maybe be led more by the numbers to start with. Add a bit of spice [with] your intuition, see how it performs, get a bit gutsier and build it from there. It is an amazing profession, but it is not learned overnight."
Co-owner and creative director of Paper Communications, Drew Elliott, built his career from an internship to heading up the renowned New York publishing and marketing company. Elliott describes how not to start a career in digital marketing, and what you should do instead:
"If you want to reach out to someone, it's never going to happen if you don't ask. It's so important to have the confidence to know that someone's going to pick it up. At the end of the day, everyone's rooting for you. You just have to figure out the right route for you. Everyone asks me, 'How should I get started?' Just get started."
Fashion History for Today
During his career, fashion writer, journalist and academic Colin McDowell MBE has published several books, curated exhibitions and acted as chief fashion writer of The Sunday Times Style Magazine for over 20 years. McDowell discusses the fleetingness of fashion moments:
"Fashion moments don't come [around] very frequently and they really come from people who are at the top of the tree creatively. Nowadays, a designer has to be someone very special to have a real impact — somebody like Alexander McQueen or Miuccia Prada. It's much harder for [designers] to make any moment their real moment."

You can free yourself as a physician and change our healthcare delivery system without taking on extra work and without interrupting your current panel and long-term relationships.
We are recruiting 20-40 physicians in each region that want to change healthcare without disrupting their current practice.
Open to all primary care physicians – independent, groups, hospital employed, etc!
You have the power to change it!
We can't trust the administrators, insurance companies, and politicians that created this mess to fix it.
Forthright Health provides legal support, sales, marketing, billing, customer service, many of the things you don't have time to do as a busy physician.
Forthright Health puts the infrastructure in place to attract employers, wraparound insurance plans, exchanges and other value-added tools and services.
Don't Wait, Find Out More!
You can be free of coding, paperwork and mandates. Your only responsibility is to deliver the best care possible to your patients, in whatever ethical form you desire. If you want to make housecalls, you can. If you want to text message with your patients, you can. If you want to monitor your patients' gym use and eating habits, you can. What if you were compensated to keep people healthy, not to do tasks?
We will be waiting forever for bureaucrats, administrators and lawmakers to construct a system that actually makes sense. You are smarter than all of them anyway. It is time for physicians to take control and design a system built around the true needs of patients, not based on the coding system and mandates from the government, insurance companies and large hospital systems.
You are currently constrained by a payment system that only compensates you if you see patients face-to-face in your office. Meanwhile, the insurance-based coding and paperwork system adds nearly 50% to your overhead. What if you could begin to remove those two constraints? How would you deliver care if you didn't have to worry about RVU targets and seeing 25+ patients per day?
Almost all of the efforts to change healthcare to date have originated from the top down. Where have those initiatives that left us? Primary care is the most crucial part of healthcare. You know what changes need to be made, but for too long your voice has fallen on deaf ears. Forthright Health wants you to be able to make those changes with the support and safety of other primary care physicians in your region.
You're busy struggling to keep your head above water and now Forthright Health is coming along and asking you to change things. You don't have time for that. That's why Forthright is here to provide many of the things you don't have time to do as a busy physician – sales, marketing, billing, customer service, etc. If we change healthcare the right way, your life and vocation should be easier, not harder.
Going it alone is risky. Most patients lack even a basic knowledge of how healthcare works and is financed. In order to change healthcare, we need to take advantage of existing distribution networks. Forthright Health frees primary care while opening the doors to employers, wraparound insurance plans, and private and public exchanges.

Kate makes third visit to Wimbledon to watch men's final with William
By Brinkwire on July 14, 2019
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be in the crowd as Roger Federer makes a bid for a record extending ninth Wimbledon title.
William and Kate will be in the royal box on Centre Court on Sunday for the Swiss great's match against defending champion Novak Djokovic.
The duchess, patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, will be making her third visit to the championships in SW19 this year.
Roger Federer is eyeing his ninth Wimbledon crown (Adam Davy/PA)
On Saturday, she sat alongside her sister-in-law the Duchess of Sussex to watch Serena Williams crash to a straight sets defeat against Simona Halep in the women's final.
Halep, who previously shared her hopes of seeing Kate in the royal box, said it was an "honour" and "an extra boost" to play in front of the duchesses.
Kate was among the first people to congratulate the Romanian as she left the court to celebrate her maiden Wimbledon title.
Earlier in the tournament, Kate enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of the club and made the rare move of watching a game on one of its outside courts.

Her visits have included meeting British players past and present, junior competitors and the project managers behind the recently redeveloped Number One Court.
The duchess also received a few gardening tips from Marion Regan, one of the owners of Hugh Lowe Farms which has supplied the famous Wimbledon strawberries for more than 25 years.
Last week, Federer revealed he had recently played tennis with Kate's son Prince George, with the 20-time grand slam winner describing the young royal as a "cute boy" who had "good" technique.

Looking forward: 2018 Winter Olympics
by: Andrew Marden
This weekend is it for the 2016 Summer Olympics, and it was another successful games for Team USA. with more than 100 medals won by the red, white and blue.
But what's in store for the next Olympics in two years?
As the world prepares to say goodbye to Rio de Janeiro, a look ahead to Pyeongchang. South Korea has the distinction of hosting the next Olympic Games, the Winter Olympics, in February 2018.
The Korean tourism organization has representatives in Rio, they're set up at Copacabana Beach.
Myung Woon is the project manager of the Pyeongchang Organizing Committee.
"We do have all the digital stuff, like the 4-D Experience Zone, the chairs moving. And also the ski jumping experience, the Korean food culture, and every night we have little concerts, taekwondo shows, it's all about Korea and Pyeongchang," Woon said.
Woon said the winter is much different than in Rio.
"In Korea, of course, the winter in Pyeongchang the mountain area is very very cold. In celcius it goes down about -10 degrees to -15. It will feel like much colder. Expect the cold in the Pyeongchang winter."
Interestingly enough, the next three Olympic Games are all in Asia: South Korea in 2018, Tokyo, Japan, in 2020 and Beijing, China, in 2022.

Math Circle Solving Problems for 20 Years
Joy Washington
USA students John Pomerat, center, a sophomore computer science and mathematics major, along with Daniel Hodgins, a freshman engineering major, show Murphy High School student Mollee Bearden how to problem solve during a recent Math Circle session.
Despite a full day of being homeschooled, John Pomerat spent his Monday evenings over a five-year period in the Math Circle, located in the mathematics and statistics department at the University of South Alabama.
"I never attended high school. I was 'unschooled,' which is a hands-off approach to learning where the student follows their interests," Pomerat explained. "Math is all about creativity and critical thinking, but this true nature of mathematics rarely shows up in the math education most students receive."
USA's Math Circle is designed for students like Pomerat, who enjoy math and want the challenge of exciting problems that are normally outside the school curriculum. Pomerat, now a sophomore at South, volunteers to lead some of USA's Math Circle sessions. He is double majoring in computer science and mathematics. Upon graduation, he hopes to attend graduate school and conduct research in artificial general intelligence.
"What I have learned in the Math Circle has been useful in my majors," Pomerat said. "The Math Circle was the primary place where I learned the problem-solving skills that are needed for success in technical fields like computer science."
South's Math Circle is held during fall and spring semesters at 7 p.m. on Mondays on campus in the Mathematical Sciences and Physics Building. The sessions are managed and coordinated by Drs. Cornelius Pillen and Vasiliy Prokhorov, professors in the mathematics and statistics department in the College of Arts and Sciences. Prokhorov regularly teaches a graduate course on problem solving for future math teachers who are studying in the College of Education and Professional Studies. South students taking his class often help lead Math Circle sessions.
"We are very pleased with the success of our Math Circle," Pillen said. "Our students can come and go at any point during the academic year. There's no fee to attend. Our hope is once they come, they will be intrigued and like what they are experiencing and return for more sessions."
Math Circles are a tradition that started in Hungary and eastern Europe more than a century ago and continues to grow stronger worldwide each year. Prokhorov helped develop the Math Circle session at South in 2000. As a middle and high school student, he attended a Math Circle and learned from a leading scientist at that time.
USA's Math Circle started as a pilot program held at the Alabama School of Mathematics and Science in Mobile and then was transferred to the South Alabama campus. And, South was one of the first in the United States to start a Math Circle.
"John is just one of many examples of a student who attended our Math Circle and has done well," Prokhorov noted. "John is a very gifted student, and we are pleased to have him helping and leading some of the sessions. We are introducing students to math and creative thinking through problem solving. We are exciting the minds and spirits of young students to further study math and science. We also offer guidance, enrichment and educate students about careers in math and science."
The Math Circle has continued to grow and become more diverse with female, African American, Asian and Hispanic students.
"I have had the opportunity to lead a few Math Circle sessions, and it's been a rewarding experience to work with so many wonderful students," Pomerat said. "I have found the best way to solidify your understanding of something is to teach it. And helping students younger than myself is a great way to give back." Approximately 40 students are regularly attending this year's sessions.
The Math Circle has enjoyed longtime support from the Alabama Space Grant Consortium, whose recent $5,000 grant will allow Pillen and Prokhorov to bring in noted mathematicians and scientists.

How scammers are selling your personal information on the dark web
Attorney General's office provides first look at hidden world.
WRTV's Kara Kenney reports. A first of its kind look at how hackers steal your personal information and sell it on the dark web.
By: Kara Kenney
INDIANAPOLIS — In an undisclosed building, the Indiana Attorney General's office has a computer that allows the agency's investigators to access the dark web.
The dark web is a hidden collection of internet sites you can't find through traditional search engines, like Google.
"It's off the beaten path," said Douglas Swetnam, section chief for data privacy and the identity theft unit at the Attorney General's office. "You can't see using your normal browser. You need a special browser to see it."
The Attorney General's office keeps the computer separate because what's on the dark web could infect and destroy the computer, or even the entire network.
Swetnam said you should not attempt to visit the dark web.
"It's not the kind of thing you should do unless you're really sure what you're doing," said Swetnam. "It's a really good way to ruin your computer or get scammed."
The Attorney General's office gave WRTV Investigates a first-of-its-kind inside look at the dark web in the hopes that people will take additional steps to protect their personal information.
The agency monitors the dark web to look for trends so it can alert the public.
"The dark web markets are like the amazon of crime," said Swetnam.
Swetnam showed WRTV the dark web has an endless supply of illegal activity you can get involved in, including drugs and paraphernalia to buy, as well as how-to guides on hacking.
"Here's a tool so someone can hack into your Android phone and use it for whatever they want," said Swetnam. "It's a dollar."
WRTV Investigates saw "exploit kits" for just $10, which allow someone to install malware on your computer or phone and get access to your personal information.
When there's a data breach, like the one that happened with Equifax, hackers sell your personal and financial information on the dark web.
Swetnam also showed us how for just $75 you can get a package deal with someone's credit report, social security number and driver's license.
"I don't think people realize there's a website out there that's actually selling their information," said Swetnam.
Someone can easily buy your personal or financial information on the dark web, steal your identity and rack up debt in your name.
WRTV Investigates has told you about an uptick in all kinds of scams including government imposter scams, like the one that hit Jena Pollard of Indianapolis.
PREVIOUS | Government imposter scams on the rise | Uptick in employment scams
"They told me my social security number had been compromised and that they were going to be giving me a new one," said Pollard.
The Attorney General's office showed WRTV Investigates how an increasing number of scammers are getting how-to guides on phone scams on the dark web.
"The ultimate fraud package of 6500 items for nine dollars," said Swetnam. "It's almost a dictionary of fraud."
Criminals are using the dark web and COVID-19 to defraud the state's unemployment system and even small business loans.
"The CARES Act and the flood of new money into the system opened an opportunity for all the bad guys," said Swetnam. "It's Christmas for crooks."
Swetnam said he's some crazy things on the dark web.
"An advertisement for assassins, murder for hire, beatings, torture, making it look like an accident," said Swetnam.
So, why not shut down the dark web or at least the people selling on it?
"It's whack a mole," said Swetnam. "As soon as they take down one market, another one pops up."
The Attorney General's office does often alert the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to what they see on the dark web, but tracking the culprits is difficult because the dark web thrives on anonymity and secrecy.
Plus, making arrests can be difficult even if you know who the criminals are.
"Most of the activity that we see originates outside the US," said Swetnam.
The Attorney General's office wants to show you the dark web so you will take better steps to protect yourself.

12,000 feet above the Swiss Alps in a hot air balloon.
HIGH RESOLUTION version of this article(1000 pixels wide) available here.
See the 360° panorama taken inside the basket.
As we arrive as 6 AM on a Sunday morning, the three balloons are already taking shape. The pilot starts to inflate them with a huge electric fan.
The inside of the balloon is so big you could host a wedding banquet in it.
... until it slowly rises, turning the basket up. Ready to board.
We board, 7 passengers and the pilot.
... and up we go.
The gorgeous Swiss prealps start to unfold all around us.
... and passes right below us.
... we see many lakes, here the Lac de l'Hongrin, an artificial lake.
... as the view continues to unfold 360° around us.
... by pulling on a lever that releases another fire tongue into the huge balloon.
After two hours, François the pilot starts thinking about landing - but where will the wind take us? Below our feet we see Zweisimmen, one of the many airfields in the Swiss Alps.
All is still on the airport as we slowly advance. Where exactly will we land? François talks with his ground crew to tell him where to pick us up. A field perhaps? I prefer to land on something dry so as to keep the balloon cloth dry. Kind of hard to find a cloth hanger large enough to hang it to dry at home, François tells us.
Now it's clear - François will go for the landing strip. Farmers don't like it so much when you land in the middle of their crops, says the pilot. If you manage to land it in the middle of the runway, I will eat my hat, says one of the passengers, soon regretting his bravado.
The car the pilot was calling on the radio is already on the runway, waiting for us.
Like in a dream, we float above the runway and move by inches. François touches down on the runway and lets out the strongest three passengers, all volunteers.
The balloon rises again because of the sudden loss of weight.
As the balloon is hovering 2 feet above the ground, the three passengers bravely push it towards the pickup truck.
Like a Pays d'Enhaut cut paper, our shadow spreads on the runway.
... and the balloon starts coming down on God's green earth.
It lays on its side, keeping its hot air in.
A passenger is kindly asked to pull the top rope to ensure the balloon is properly stretched.
... then slowly collapses as the pilot winds it so we can pack it.
... and a little vehicle comes to collect the wound balloon carried by the passengers.
Another fine day in the Swiss Alps.
You can make the same flight by calling the people below. Don't forget to check the day before whether the flight is still on - nobody flies in less than perfect weather and many flights are rescheduled.

Q:  element invents extra space just to mess up my layout behold my html code after apache and internet explorer have had their way with it.

Observe how my TD-element (highlighted) has the dimensions: 1056 x 196.14. Observe also that on several occassions in the code it is clearly expressed that the dimension should be 1056 x 192.
Highlighting the parent TR-element will reveal auto x 192, and highlighting the child IMG-element will reveal 1056 x 192 yet again.
So why on earth is my TD-element's height 196.14? It DOES show 4.14 pixels of whitespace between table rows when rendered. If I remove the IMG-element it does seem to work, and the TD-element becomes 192 pixels like it should be.
Chrome shows a slightly different result:

In Chrome the parent TR-element does say it is 196 pixels high, but the IMG-element is still 192 pixels. Removing the whitespace in the HTML file around the perpetrating TD-element has no effect.
Infuriating! Where are those extra pixels coming from? Any ideas? :)

A: Turn your image to a block element to avoid the gap:

More and more, Italian grape varietals are showing up in wines at Texas wineries and tasting rooms. Probably the key reason for this is that these grapes prosper in hot, arid, sunny areas of Texas that are similar in climate to important Italian growing regions that are hilly, if not downright mountainous, limited in rainfall, and blessed with maritime influenced, rock-strewn, sandy, calcium-rich soils.
Vermentino (or Rolle) is a white wine grape that may have originated in Spain, but is now found predominantly in Italy. It is used in many DOC (like appellations or AVA's) regional wines, including Sardinia, in Liguria as Pigato, on the island of Corsica, in the Piedmont as Favorita, and Tuscany as Vermentino. The grape is also common to the southern French regions of Languedoc and Roussillon where it is called Rolle. Because Wild Horse Winery in Paso Robles originally registered the grape as Vermentino in the U.S., the BATF limits this grape to that single name throughout the country.
Vermentino has found its way into other wine regions, including Carneros and Paso Robles in CA, the southern Appalachian mountains of VA, the Yadkin Valley of NC, and several areas in Central/West Texas and New Mexico. Many of the U.S. vines were sourced from NovaVine nursery in CA, the partner of Tablas Creek Winery owned by the Perrin family, proprietors of the famous Chateauneuf-du-Pape estate, Ch Beaucastel. The Perrins brought the grape to the U.S. believing it would thrive in the warm, rocky limestone soils of Paso Robles. There are also Vermentino plantings in western and southern Australia.
Vermentino has bright acidity, making it very refreshing and food friendly, with citrus and wet mineral aromas and flavors. The grapes are large with excellent sugar/acid balance, and produce full-bodied wines with rich floral aromas. Vermentino is also commonly harvested for table grapes. The hot, dry, rolling rocky hills of the island of Corsica are the most common growing area for Vermentino. That sort of sounds like the Texas Hill Country – right?
In the vineyard, Vermentino is an easy varietal to grow. It is a vigorous vine, resistant to most vineyard diseases and pests, tolerant of drought conditions, and tends to ripen conveniently in the middle of the harvest cycle. At the recent Texas Grape Camp, presented in Fredericksburg by the Texas Wine and Grape Growers Association, a panel of grape growers presented lots of evidence that Vermentino may be the best-suited white grape currently growing in the Lone Star State. Good quality, ripe fruit, even at generous yields, produces a lot of delicious, refreshing wine. Vermentino handles drought conditions well, needs less irrigation than most other grapes, and the natural resistance to vineyard diseases (mold and mildew) and pests is a true blessing to grape growers.
To preserve freshness, bright citrus character, natural minerality and mouthwatering acidity, Vermentino is usually fermented cool in stainless steel tanks and not allowed to undergo secondary malolactic fermentation. Wines tend to be light in color and lower in alcohol with aromas and flavors of green apple, lime fruit and oyster shells. Make sure to try as many Vermentino wines as possible and prepare yourself for many more as Texas growers and winemakers focus on this versatile and valuable white grape.
Vermentino is found in several wines at 4.0 Cellars. McPherson Cellars produces a lovely varietal Vermentino with citrus and mineral notes, perfect for the patio or table. Vermentino is often used in blended wines by both McPherson Cellars and Lost Oak Winery.

News News Democracy across Southeast ...
Democracy across Southeast Asia is in danger – but all is not lost, says armed conflict mediator
Michael Vatikiotis discussed Southeast Asia's political and economic issues at the FCC. Photo: Sarah Graham/FCC
A "democracy deficit" fuelled by conflict, religious division and widespread corruption has led to instability in Southeast Asia – and things will improve but at a cost, according to a mediator in armed conflict.
Michael Vatikiotis, whose new book Blood and Silk: Power and Conflict in Modern Southeast Asia examines the region's dynamics of power, said that in the next 30 years Southeast Asia will look like it did before it was colonised by European powers.
But currently, he warned: "Across Southeast Asia, democracy is in peril.
"Myanmar's democratic transition is faltering; Thailand is enduring fourth year of military rule; Cambodia has launched an aggressive campaign against the opposition and threatens to wage war if it loses elections in 2018. Malaysia's angry electorate is unlikely to be able to vote out of power a ruling party that has governed the country since independence; whilst in the Philippines, the number of people killed without due process this past year has already exceeded the total number killed by Marcos the dictator in the 1970s and 80s.
"Even in Indonesia, where democracy seems secure, there are indications that popular demand for equality and security are starting to outweigh respect for one-man one-vote."
Factors contributing towards this "democracy deficit" in a region of 600 million people include enduring impunity and lack of accountability of governments; unresolved violent conflict; chronic levels of corruption; and alarmingly high levels of economic inequality, said Vatikiotis, who is Mediator in Armed Conflict, Asia Regional Director at the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue.
Scroll to the bottom to watch Michael Vatikiotis at the FCC
"Despite the gloomy perspectives elaborated above, I am reasonably confident that the region will continue to prosper; its people will achieve significant levels of wealth and security. But there will be costs."
He said the democracy deficit would deepen; sectarian and ethnic strife would intensify; and China would dominate the geo-political domain. He added that there would be less tolerance of the region's traditional balancing of powers impulse; less economic and financial autonomy; and the threat of China's particular form of extra-territoriality with regard to the overseas Chinese.
Why such a pessimistic outlook?, asked host and board member Victor Mallet (read his Blood and Silk: Power and Conflict in Modern Southeast Asia review here). Vatikiotis cited Cambodia as an example: economic growth of over 7% which has been a huge benefit to workers who have been pulled out of poverty. "Yet you have a PM that doesn't believe anyone has the right to turf him out of power," he said, adding: "He's decided if the opposition wins the election he'll go to war." Vatikiotis said this undermines stability in society and sets up inevitable conflict.
On China, Vatikiotis said that President Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) had stirred suspicion in Southeast Asia that the chief beneficiaries would be further away – South Asia and beyond. He added: "For the time being it's mainly seen as a metaphor for China's strategic ambitions."
He said there was a great fear in the region that if China's economy "went pair-shaped" there would be mass migration that would affect its neighbours.
Despite the gloomy outlook for the region in the interim, Vatikiotis believes that ultimately stability will return.
He said: "Fortunately, both access to technology and a sufficient degree of what I call 'demi-democracy' will enable civil society to address to a degree the need for some capacity to represent people, and push back on the state. This is 'democracy you can eat'; it bypasses the political parties that have failed to deliver to communities at the grass roots, it ignores increasingly onerous security restrictions, and asserts popular will."

We leave tomorrow morning for Minnesota. Anna is getting married to a delightful young man and I am thrilled for her. Is a wonderful thing.
We have a pretty tight schedule traveling to Minnesota, but we are ambling a bit on the way back. Going to do some camping and sightseeing and, most importantly, visiting with friends and family. And we're swinging south to Philadelphia to meet up with Pantsters. I love the Pantsters!
So, it's all packing and cleaning and the dogs are freaking out because suitcases mean someone is leaving and I can't tell them that they are also leaving with us. There is much anxious cuddling.
We're staying with my mom up on Mille Lacs and will be driving in and out of the city a few times. We're doing pancakes at the OPH, send me a message for details. Pancakes are delicious.
I live in a new state for the first time in my life.
So what happened on our drive to Vermont? Well, we ate lunch at a picnic table near the dumpster at a Bob Evans. I had a screaming meltdown in the parking lot of a Days Inn next to the Toledo airport. I learned to drive a stick shift in Chicago, in Chicago traffic, during a Chicago rain storm. It was like Lake Michigan belched its whole self up into the sky and fell in great pleated sheets on us. I ate a lot of peanut m&ms. Chester didn't puke.
It is obnoxiously bucolic here. It's almost as if nature hired Disney to make this place all beautiful and Vermonty. The trees are just starting to change and it is amazing to watch. We live in a little town, a little cute rural town with a little bit of tourism and a lot of very cute everything!
We live in a big, jumbly house. One part was built in the late 1700s and has been added on to so many times over the years. It's all doors and stairs and halls. Our apartment is little but it's cheap and we rented a storage space for most of our stuff.
We're getting our plan together. I've started collecting resources and making lists of things we need to learn, we'll spend the winter doing that. We're also taking advantage of our (intentional) no-job situation and using that time to go out and explore. There's a lot of hiking and investigating to be done. Mostly, right now we are tired, though.
There should be internet set up in our place this weekend, but I'm super loving the internet-accessing bakery up the road (because what I need in my life is more pastry).
So so busy packing and moving and packing and trying to make dinner when the only things you have in your kitchen are a bottle opener and a tub of coffee beans.
There were 2 going away parties this past weekend and they were wonderful and sad. There are lots of photos and lots to tell but I don't have time! So, here's a quick and dirty and unlabeled set of photos.

Possible Cohort for Breast Cancer Prevention Trials Defined
NEW ORLEANS--Cytologic and biomarker assessment can be used to identify a cohort of women at extremely high risk for short-term breast cancer development, Carol Fabian, MD, said at the American Society of Preventive Oncology annual meeting.
NEW ORLEANS--Cytologic and biomarker assessment can be used to identifya cohort of women at extremely high risk for short-term breast cancer development,Carol Fabian, MD, said at the American Society of Preventive Oncology annualmeeting.
This, in turn, raises the possibility that such a cohort could be enrolledin breast cancer chemoprevention trials using biomarker changes as surrogateendpoints rather than development of cancer.
The researchers, from the University of Kansas Medical Center, KansasCity, previously reported that evidence obtained by random fine needleaspiration (FNA) of epithelial hyperplasia with atypia and biomarker abnormalitieswas more prevalent in women at increased epidemiologic risk for breastcancer than in low-risk controls.
The current study included 335 women (median age, 44) who were at highrisk for breast cancer because of a first-degree relative with breast cancer,prior precancerous biopsy, prior invasive cancer, or some multiple thereof.They underwent FNA and were followed for subsequent cancer developmentbetween 1989 and 1996. These results were compared with FNA findings andcancer development in a group of paid volunteers who were at low risk forbreast cancer.
The study found that cancer was more likely to develop in women withFNA evidence of hyperplasia with atypia. In turn, hyperplasia with atypiawas predicted by the presence of multiple biomarker abnormalities--DNAaneuploidy, overexpression of p53, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR),and Her-2/neu overexpression.
FNA evidence of hyperplasia with atypia was present in 18% of womenwith risk factors for breast cancer. An additional 13% had evidence ofhyperplasia without atypia but with multiple abnormal biomarkers. Thus,in a population at increased epidemiologic risk, largely because of positivefamily history (69% of study subjects), 31% had random FNA biomarkers associatedwith a marked short-term risk of breast cancer, Dr. Fabian said.
Significant differences were found in low-risk vs high-risk subjectsin the prevalence of normal, hyperplastic, or atypical pathology. And exceptfor ploidy, there was a stepwise increase in all biomarkers with the degreeof cytologic abnormality.
Twice the Expected Rate
At 34 months' follow-up, 10 women had developed ductal carcinoma insitu or invasive cancer; an additional four women developed lobular carcinomain situ. This is twice the expected rate, Dr. Fabian said.
Cancer developed in 5 of 40 subjects with both atypical hyperplasiaand multiple biomarker abnormalities; in 2 of 21 women with atypical hyperplasiaalone; in 2 of 70 with multiple biomarkers alone; and in only one of 203subjects with neither atypical hyperplasia nor multiple bio-marker abnormalities.
All of these cancer cases occurred in women in the high-risk group;however, Dr. Fabian pointed out that the low-risk volunteers were not followedwith the same intensity.
According to this analysis, 5% of high-risk women with atypical hyperplasiaor multiple biomarkers will develop breast cancer within three years, Dr.Fabian said. The strongest predictors of breast cancer were atypical hyperplasiaand multiple positive biomarkers, especially EGFR and p53. One third ofsubjects in the study had one or both of these findings.
