E3 is going to just be awesome. I cant express how much i want to play mario kart dd.and fzero. i hope they announce a new zelda game! and the metroid prime video. it s going to be great!!!!!!
my nintendo power said something about a new game next month and their is a shadow of link next to it. i doubt its soul calibur 2 they are talking about and i also heard of a new zelda game in the works so i think there will be a new zelda for sure!
I would have to agree with you on this one Andy. Yeah I know I have also added to the many spam filled threads and post. But Im not like this in other fourms I am in. Other fourms I am in, we post stuff that has a point and we don't like post about nothing. The thing is though is that there are hardly any members and so that means theres not alot to talk about. I have tried my best to try not to spam and hopefully I will get better at this.

That Escalated Quickly: Neighborhood Feuds for the Ages
It's an old saying, but it sometimes rings true: good fences can make good neighbors. Partitions encourage boundaries, which can foster respect and a healthy relationship with the people over your wall. But sometimes we hire experts to build fences because the neighbors may be less than ideal.
People in proximity can sometimes get on each other's nerves, and sometimes tempers can suddenly burst. An outburst of violence should never be the solution to an issue with your neighbor, but some people have made getting back at their neighbor into an art form.
Take a look at some neighborhood feuds that may go down in history because of the creative, and sometimes petty, ways they vented their frustrations.
Unsolicited Dating Advice in a Banner
A man who lived in an apartment in Washington, D.C., had grown tired of the two restaurants that shared the alley in front of his building. According to him, the food establishments would routinely leave garbage and spoiled food in the alleyway, and the bad smells would waft into his apartment. The man phoned the health department with his complaints. The health department found no serious code violations and concluded their investigation.
In retaliation, the owner of the restaurants placed a large banner directly facing the apartment. Printed on it were the words "YOU NEED A BOYFRIEND." Unfortunately for the petty restaurant owner, other residents of the apartment took offense at the unsolicited dating advice, including a single woman who promptly complained about what she thought was an attack against her.
A Very Rude Statue
Two neighbors in Los Angeles got into a boundary dispute because of an ornamental pond. The woman who had the pond made did not know at the time that the space intruded on her neighbor's property. After the neighbor asked her to move the pond, the angry woman contemplated on how she was going to announce her feelings.
Her anger manifested in a statue of a giant hand with its middle finger extended. The statue was visible from the street and directly faced her neighbor. The rude stone hand caused quite a stir when it went up, and it remained on the lawn for years. But the feud between the two neighbors had long since faded.
This wasn't the only time a homeowner erected a massive middle-finger statue in anger. A Vermont man had one carved and set on an illuminated 16-foot pole to show his anger at the local government because of a decade-long permit battle.
A Huge Stone Wall
An English couple added a sundeck to their home in a coastal town in Lancashire, United Kingdom. The couple wanted to enjoy seaside breezes and a great view of the Irish Sea. Unfortunately, the sundeck also looked over the backyard of their neighbor. The man was unhappy at what he thought was a breach of his privacy and decided to reclaim his peace and quiet.
The neighbor built a 16-foot high brick wall between the two properties. The wall, which became a sort of local tourist attraction, blocks the sundeck's view of the neighbor's yard and the sea breezes the couple wanted. The couple and other locals have complained about the massive brick divider, with some of them comparing it to the Great Wall of China or the Berlin Wall. Although local authorities had part of the structure pulled down, he still managed to retain 80 percent of the brick wall.
Having a neighbor you don't see eye to eye with can be difficult. Although it can be easier to simply build a wall between you, building a better relationship is more sensible. Talk to your neighbor, and have a respectful discussion of your grievances. And if that fails, you can always invest in better property barriers. Or a giant hand with its middle finger extended.

Marianne Faithfull: Come and Stay With Me – The UK 45s 1964-1969
English songbird in a gilded cage
Although she had four Top-40 Billboard hits in 1964 and 1965, Marianne Faithfull's early years as a singer are largely remembered in the U.S. for her original version of "As Tears Go By." She gained worldwide fame with her 1979 comeback, Broken English, but her early years as a UK hitmaker have remained relatively unknown in the States. More surprisingly, Faithfull herself doesn't reflect with great fondness on these early records, suggesting at the time of her late-70s re-emergence, "I've never had to try very hard. I've never really been expected to try at all. I've always been treated as somebody who not only can't even sing but doesn't really write or anything, just something you can make into something." She continued, "I was just cheesecake really, terribly depressing. It wasn't depressing when I was 18, but it got depressing when I got older because you're a person just like anyone else, even if you are a woman."
The truth of her early works lays somewhere between her own negative reaction and the positive commercial success bestowed upon her. After debuting with "As Time Goes By," Faithfull tackled Dylan's well-covered "Blowin' in the Wind," and B-sides – "Greensleeves" and "House of the Rising Sun" – drawn from the trad catalog. Her fragile tremolo seems overmatched by the ornate arrangements, but her shy delivery is bolstered by a sense of determination. It's that balance between introversion and steadfastness that makes these singles so intriguing. Her third single, Jackie DeShannon's "Come and Stay With Me," demonstrates Faithfull's growing confidence, as does the anguished questioning of "What Have I Done Wrong." The harp and strings of her next single, John D. Loudermilk's "Little Bird," leave more room for her voice, and she takes flight with the Tennessee Williams-inspired lyrics.
Faithfull's catalog includes titles by Goffin & King ("Is This What I Get For Loving You?") and Donovan ("The Most of What is Least"), and a sprinkle of original material ("Oh Look Around You" and "I'd Like to Dial Your Number"). Her final single for Decca was 1969's "Something Better," written by Gerry Goffin and Barry Mann, and performed by Faithfull in the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus. The B-side featured the rare, original recording of "Sister Morphine," released two years before the Stones included it on Sticky Fingers. Her transformation from English songbird to ravaged chanteuse is foreshadowed in the desperate lyrics and vocal, and despite Jagger's dramatic performance on the album, it's Faithfull's original that resounds with the personal truth that reclaimed her songwriting credit for the lyrics.
These early sides don't reflect the lived life of Broken English, but you can hear Faithfull gaining experience at light speed. Her 1965 cover of "Yesterday" and the following year's "Tomorrow's Calling" are filled with melancholy, and her 1967 cover of the Ronettes' "Is This What I Get For Loving You?" might not have been an expression of doubt about Mick Jagger's fidelity, but seems to bely a fundamental insecurity. The collection pulls together the mono A's and B's of her eleven singles and a three-song EP, as released by Decca between 1964 and 1969. The 24-page booklet includes liner notes from journalist and longtime Marianne Faithfull fan Kris Needs, as well as numerous period photos, sheet music, label reproductions, and song credits. With the concurrent release of Faithfull's new album Negative Capability, and its newly struck version of "As Time Goes By," this is a timely spin for fans who've never taken the opportunity to enjoy Faithfull's early work.

Q: Pass a variable that's part of a URL to a script? The page for abstract photography on my photo site uses a link like this:
myphotosite.com/abstract.html

That page uses a script to call on the Flickr API to fetch my photos & info.  It includes a few lines like this:
    {
        photo_set: "abstract",
        tags: "best"
    },

My site currently has a ton of pages and a ton of scripts (one of each for each photo set).  What I'd like to do is have one page plus variables in the url and one script which uses the variables.  Following the example above, the link would be something like this:
myphotosite.com/page.html?variable_1=abstract&variable_2=best

And the script would be something like this:
    {
        photo_set: "variable_1",
        tag: "variable_2"
    },

How do I pass variables in a url on to a script used on that page?

A: You may use the URL API to parse the page's URL and extract the query params from it. See the following demo:

// Set this to window.location.href in actual code
let pageUrl = "https://myphotosite.com/abstract.html?variable_1=abstract&variable_2=best";
let url = new URL(pageUrl);

// Construct your object
let obj = {
  photo_set: url.searchParams.get('variable_1'),
  tag: url.searchParams.get('variable_2')
};

console.log(obj);

PS: URL API is not supported on Internet Explorer.

A: Brad posted a link above which led to the answer.  Thank you, sir!  Here it is for anyone who is interested:
Here's the page he linked to:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/3855394/362536
From there, I found the following code which I added at the top of my script, as follows:
// get the variables

 var url_variable = (function(a) {
    if (a == "") return {};
    var b = {};
    for (var i = 0; i < a.length; ++i)
    {
        var p=a[i].split('=', 2);
        if (p.length == 1)
            b[p[0]] = "";
        else
            b[p[0]] = decodeURIComponent(p[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
    }
    return b;
})(window.location.search.substr(1).split('&'));

The part of my original script for using the variables is as follows:
{
    photo_set: url_variable["album"],
    tag: url_variable["tag"]
},

Thus, if I want an album of my best abstract photos, my url would be:
myphotosite.com/page.html?album=abstract&tag=best
It works like a charm!

That's mostly because of the increased thermal limits or frequencies. GPU BIOS modding can do that, but does not turn a card into another. As you put it it was much more important change than that. Maybe I read that wrong though.
The fact that NVIDIA can get away with this tells me that NVIDIA may have been enjoying a near-monopoly position in the market
Well, no, everyone does market segmentation like that in the integrated circuit world (even for far simpler cheap 2$ microcontroller chips) and it's not "wrong" per-se. R&D costs aren't specific to a product line, nor are most other fixed costs.
Segmenting the market allows them to ask what they think is a "more fair" prices for the features they are offering. Because the additional features actually required more R&D and validation and whatever other costs. Companies can afford to pay a few thousands for a high end compute card that offers compute features.
While for those that only need the card for gaming they remove the compute features and leave only the 3D acceleration.
The customer is paying for the features, which is ok. Technically the hardware can do that too, but that's an artifact of manufacturing technology, making hardware that can only do the features you pay for would be more expensive to manufacture or to develop, so they resort to disabling stuff in hardware or in software after it was manufactured.
Deliberately making your products artificially shit in a competitive market would simply mean your competitors would produce better products in that market (eg the mid-range gaming graphics card market) and you would lose lots of sales.
Yes, and that's one of the reasons I don't think they are doing that, but are focusing on obsoleting old cards or doing something minor.
But if we are talking of product segmentation again (i.e. allowing the gaming cards to steal sales to the businness/computing cards) then it's not going to happen. Your competitors also have their market segmentation in place and will not do that as they will also shoot their own foot.
What I get from whining and other things I get in forums is that it seems they are decreasing performance of older cards, to push people to buy newer cards sooner than the hardware becomes actually obsolete. There are people that keep using old drivers because it's what gives them best performance on their old card.
I can't state this as fact as I only heard it and never tested it, but it does make more sense than segmenting consumer GPU market.
And again this trickery can't be done if there is an open driver they don't control.
I feel hopeful about AMD. They've made some huge improvements recently so NVIDIA might be forced to stop relying on doing things like you suggested. With Intel potentially entering the gaming graphics card market in 2020, it would further improve the situation.
I don't see how that could change. Both Intel and AMD know full well that they need to segment the market, and are doing so.
Sure more competition will help in keeping th eprices down, and NVIDIA is indeed jacking up prices just because they can (no competition in upper midrange and high end gaming GPUs, 0 competition for computing using CUDA, limited competition for OpenCL) but it won't make Quadro cards sell for cheap.
Again: with AMD stepping up their game, this may change for the better now.
Again, no fucking chance. They will keep server features and high multicore counts in expensive Xeon processors, just as AMD does.
It seems more likely to me that until recently AMD has just been producing inferior products to NVIDIA and Intel so they haven't had the option of producing artificially restricted products as doing that would make them even less competitive.
Imagine if AMD tech was inferior to NVIDIA's. If AMD was to artificially restrict the capabilities of their-mid range graphics cards it might make them far more inferior to the NVIDIA offering in the same market. In this scenario, NVIDIA could get away with these artificial restrictions, because even with the restrictions their cards were superior to the AMD offering in the same market.
Can you please stop thinking about midrange gaming cards? That's not what all this is about.
The product segmentation in effect is the distinction between Quadro/Tesla/Volta/FirePro/Xeon and their consumer counterparts. With the professional lines being a very big revenue stream for NVIDIA and Intel, and quite a bit less for AMD.
AMD is artificially restricting stuff to an extent too (there is a bunch of pro features available only in pro cards and not consumer ones, nothing really game-changing for consumers anyway).
As their products get better market share, they will have good reasons to artificially restrict stuff more.
If we want AMD to remain as it is now, we should wish it to remain in the 20%ish marketshare or so, where it is more important to sell than to segment the market.

On windows there was a program called rivatuner that would mod the driver for geforce 6800 gs and I could turn into a gt or a quadro and it was known as softquadro. Back then there was no difference between a geforce and a quadro but the bios and the driver. The difference these day's is that pro cards have maybe have ecc ram and other input/output's for production on a quadro. Nvidia also wants people to pay extra for vm support and will block geforce cards from what I have heard.
Amd's gpu is not inferior hardware it's that they are slow to produce good drivers people call it Amd radeon fine wine.

No, of course not. That's still different hardware, to do that you would need to change the GPU's BIOS, and maybe its hardware fuses (not possible at all?), and also enable the disabled cores (assuming they are actually stable, and were not laser-cut off), which is an entirely different kind of animal.
I'm talking of making a customized driver. With an open driver you can have the GPU run better some SPECIFIC workload, while sacrificing others. For example AMD's mining drivers.
Ah, my mistake. I thought you were talking about the firmware/bios being used modified to unlock features.
Or the "workstation drivers" of both camps that enable features that technically speaking also gaming cards can do but are not doing because it's disabled in the driver.
For example, NVIDIA Geforce gpus can't be passed to Xen guests, while all AMD cards can, and Quadro/computing ones can be passed. There is not much that the card itself (in firmware) can do to avoid this.
A customized driver can lead to a shift in cost-performance ratio for those running this SPECIFIC workload, so they won't buy higher end cards that have larger profit margin, but many lower end cards with less profit margin.
The fact that NVIDIA can get away with this tells me that NVIDIA may have been enjoying a near-monopoly position in the market or that they are far ahead of their competition. If this wasn't the case, they couldn't get away with artificially delivering inferior products to the market via software/driver profiles. Deliberately making your products artificially shit in a competitive market would simply mean your competitors would produce better products in that market (eg the mid-range gaming graphics card market) and you would lose lots of sales.
If we're really lucky, NVIDIA -- noticing that they can no longer benefit from having closed/controlled drivers -- may reconsider their stance on helping the nouveau project.
The same behaviour can be seen with Intel, that is very careful to not provide consumer CPUs that could in any way compete with their Xeons. But there they can easily do so by laser-cutting off features or making CPUs with low core counts.
AMD does not seem to care about such grave risks as they have low market share to begin with, and their main priority now is selling stuff, not necessarily enact a master plan for the future like this. If it turns out they start selling a ton of consumer GPUs and less pro ones they can scale accordingly, they don't have so much to lose as NVIDIA that has basically cornered the market in the high end.
This is an interesting theory and I hadn't considered it before, but even if what you are saying is correct (that NVIDIA use firmware/microcode as their means of artificially limiting the performance of lower end products), it doesn't explain why they don't release legally usable copies of their signed firmware.
Because the firmware is doing low-level stuff like power management at the hardware level, or teaching the graphics cores how to react to a specific command from the driver.
All the APIs (CUDA, OpenGL, DirectX to some extent as it also has components in the OS because of obvious reasons) come from the driver.
IE I am assuming you can't just take a GTX 1080 firmware image and send it to a GTX 1060 to "upgrade" aspects of the performance of the 1060 to that of a 1080.
Also, I don't know why the gaming cards from NVIDIA have unnaturally low computing FLOPS, if this is done by the driver and not in hardware....
For gaming this would probably not matter that much, but I'm talking of SPECIFIC workload. Which means businness. If this actually dethrones the Quadro/Tesla cards (and it's entirely possible) they would be totally fucked. It would be a disaster as they would lose what is a very big source of income.
Also, I'm pretty sure NVIDIA does make custom drivers for some large buyer that isn't making a true supercomputer but is still buying a few hundred serious compute cards, and again this isn't a free service and they won't like having to compete with third party mercenaries like Collabora developing the open driver for their client's needs.
This is the actual risk they could face if they lose the control over the driver, and why I'm pretty sure they will not release firmware that lets their cards do more than basic display interface (i.e. a fallback driver, just good enough to use the screen until you can install the proprietary driver.
On a GPU it's harder to keep the market separate as on a GPU it's more the raw power than the features that matter, and there is overlap between the markets.

Reprogramming BIOS is irrelevant for opensource support, what opensource driver needs is firmware blobs to load at runtime (like the proprietary driver does).
And they won't release them to make sure the open driver can't be optimized or modified in ways that would screw with their product segmentation (making cheaper cards run closer to more expensive ones) and offer features otherwise limited to Quadro GPUs that cost much more, for example.
This is an interesting theory and I hadn't considered it before, but even if what you are saying is correct (that NVIDIA use firmware/microcode as their means of artificially limiting the performance of lower end products), it doesn't explain why they don't release legally usable copies of their signed firmware. Emphasis added to the word "signed", to highlight the fact that making this firmware legally, available for use by nouveau would not stop them from being able to artificially limit performance. Their low-end cards would simply not accept tampered firmware which was coded to remove the restrictions, because the tampered firmware wouldn't be correctly signed.
My above comment is made under the assumption there is either a separate firmware program for each product that is not compatible with other products or the generic firmware checks a product specific ID to select a product-specific performance profile for that product. IE I am assuming you can't just take a GTX 1080 firmware image and send it to a GTX 1060 to "upgrade" aspects of the performance of the 1060 to that of a 1080.
I think my assumption is fair because if NVIDIA really are doing what you are saying, then it should be an obvious loop-hole to an engineer if the user can simply upload firmware from better cards to their inferior card to get a performance boost. It would be unreasonable for them to assume that the illegality of it (if any) would stop users doing that (cite: the pirate bay).

And the drivers they made ARE MONETIZED since is more a SOFTWARE COMPANY rather than hardware company.
Lol what? NVIDIA is a hardware company, drivers are part of the deal (you can't use the hardware without them), and they treat OEMs like their bitch too. (see the attempt at stealing all the gaming brands for NVIDIA cards with what is de-facto an exclusivity contract)
Also they enforce stricter PCB design rules, which makes most cards look very similar once you remove the heatsink.
Is no secret that our favorite closed source graphics mafia (as they are known in the AAA gaming code world) do many things with their drivers, and one of them is artificially optimize games for their hardware, for a fair price,
AMD does too, and AFAIK neither requires payment for that. They do it because they want to look better in benchmarks and games so people will buy more of their cards, it's not a racket.
nvidia as a bussiness colective, HATES open source culture,
More like they don't comprehend how to use it. They don't go out of their way to block opensource per-se. They don't want to allow opensource to screw with their plans, which is a different thing.
(done because of open source, and to prevent sales of fake cards with reprogrammed bioses, as some chinese cards were sold some time ago).
This is kinda douchy, but it's perfectly understandable, they make money because of that after all, they can't afford to lose control over their own products.

But when we think about this, and consider the hard working and talented people behind Nouveau, the obvious conclusion is that this is indeed a rout, for Nvidia.
How can a company be so tragically closed, and closed minded, so dismissive of its users, that it would cripple an open source project to this extent, through this unjustifiable holding back of information.
Nvidia might like to take a page out of Satya Nadella's Microsoft's book. Not perfect, but a zillion miles away from Nvidia at this point.
Is no secret that our favorite closed source graphics mafia (as they are known in the AAA gaming code world) do many things with their drivers, and one of them is artificially optimize games for their hardware, for a fair price, and believe me when i say nvidia as a bussiness colective, HATES open source culture, since they cannot monetize it for now (The nvidia linux drivers exists only because there are big players with big money that uses linux as their default platform, and nvidia support directly to them, they just publishes the resulting driver, that shares most of the windows code). Also these guys invest quite an ammount of resources and money intro Research and Development for their video cards, and these will never be open source. (or at least not until the actual management (CEO included), and their open source haters (engineers) are replaced)
Expect every genertion of nvidia chips have more and more safeguards to prevent reverse engineering and illegal reprograming of their chips (done because of open source, and to prevent sales of fake cards with reprogrammed bioses, as some chinese cards were sold some time ago).

Except that AMD is in PS4, XBox One, and now the upcoming (Linux-based) Atari console. The only non-PC platform Nvidia has is Nintendo Switch, which basically uses a tablet SoC - anything written for it will fly, on a PC.
So, for cross-platform titles and those using cross-platform engines (Unity & Unreal), I see an advantage for AMD. Their biggest problem is the relative inefficiency of their hardware. If a future generation would be the "Zen" of GPUs, they could truly dominate. Of course, Nvidia will probably have stopped caring about gamers, by then.

Edit: rhysk has a better answer, see Post #4
Oh you can own the hardware, there's nothing they can really do to prevent you from owning and doing what ever you want to it. First Sale doctrine applies to physical goods. But thanks to our legal system in regards to copyright and the UCC you don't own the software that enables it to run. And to be fair, faik there's no fully opensource AtomBIOS nor Intel firmware system implementation from those respective vendors either. The difference is that AMD is somewhat more open source friendly allowing AtomBIOS to be more permissively used while Intel is schizophrenic at best. It's not black and white, it's shades of gray.
I personally have a GeForce card in my desktop, because at the time AMD's FGLRX driver was... pretty terrible and I was tired of dealing with it. Nvidia's proprietary driver at least works from a gamer's point of view (for me). So when my AMD 7850 died, I had to make a choice, the AMDGPU drivers weren't a thing then and I had no confidence they'd be any better than what'd come before. So I went with Nvidia along with a lot of people, including GPGPU users. I haven't regretted that choice. Would I do the same thing now, with AMDGPU apparently proceeding at a good pace? Maybe. I honestly don't know. The reason being game devs often only write for single hardware platforms, and more often than not it's Nvidia they're being paid to write for. It becomes the path of least trouble for gamers and the Steam hardware stats tend to confirm an Nvidia bias.

Language learning, CALP and making the move from disciplinary to transdisciplinary
By edyta on 11 February 2014 in approaches to teaching
Sabrina McCartney, Carrollwood Day School, USA and Elizabeth McIIroy, Prem Tinsulanonda International School, Thailand
Join two PYP educators as they join a language and learning working group to create teacher support materials, and have their 'aha' moment…
As PYP educators, Elizabeth and Sabrina were invited to join a CALP Language and Learning Continuum working group, developing teacher support materials, alongside MYP and DP colleagues. They were asked to look at the task at hand looking through the lenses of mathematics and social studies.
If you are not familiar with the terminology CALP, the cognitive academic learning proficiency (CALP) framework is based on the work of Jim Cummins and is intended to scaffold the planning and teaching of academic language, ie language skills needed by students for language learning in the classroom .
The process includes developing literacy and communication skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), collaboration and social skills (interacting) and thinking skills (evaluating evidence, critically reviewing evidence, and analyzing and interpreting data).
Rolling our sleeves up, we discovered that creating teacher support materials, which would demonstrate integration of language in other areas of the curriculum, is a four-step process:
1) activating background knowledge
2) scaffolding for new learning input
3) acquisition of new learning through practice
4) demonstrating proficiency.
We questioned whether two separate documents─one focusing on math and the other on social studies─would align with the PYP transdisciplinary pedagogy?
We began by identifying the academic language required to teach the social studies and mathematics content of a 2nd grade unit of inquiry focusing on the related concepts of location and orientation.
As we created our list of target vocabulary─and it got longer and longer─we realized that although there were transdisciplinary links, the two disciplines each have their own academic language and, as our starting point, we needed to address them separately.
We developed four learning engagements for social studies before moving on to develop the ones for mathematics.
As we started to write the third learning engagement for mathematics, we had our "aha!" moment.
Authentic links between the two disciplines became obvious and we could see clearly how our learning engagement for mathematics and social studies could indeed be the same for activities 3 and 4.
We had made the move from disciplinary to transdisciplinary.
Did we also make connections with the DP and MYP? Yes, but that is another blog story.
Sabrina is a PYP coordinator and a MYP/DP Individuals and Societies teacher, a workshop leader and an online course facilitator.
Elizabeth currently teaches elementary music and has worked across a number of curricula and student support roles in the UK, Japan and Thailand.

This is a really exciting mission for us ELL teachers, who support language to access and work in the curriculum. I'm looking forward to following this blog!

I am delighted to have just found out about this initiative! As the head and founder of a Bilingual IB world school which has been implementing the PYP for the past 6 years, my biggest challenge has been the lack of focus and thinking direction on behalf of the IB with regards to an effective implementation of such a complex program in contexts where the majority of learners are second language learners. We all know that this is a feature of most international schools and not only of bilingual schools.
I am passionate about and very committed to Bilingual Education and IB programs, so finding a forum of like minded people where I can hopefully contribute and learn from a professional dialogue is a breath of fresh air for me! I will be happy to share experiences and expertise in the field of second language acquisition and learning and look forward to learning from other professionals who share similar interests.

Arizona State University chose Blackboard Connect for its new mass notification system, which will use email, texts, RSS, Facebook and Twitter to send emergency notifications and important campus updates to students, faculty and staff.
The system began operating on Jan. 1, and students, faculty and staff were automatically enrolled in late December and prompted through the MyASU web portal to update, customize or opt out of the system, which also allows users options such as choosing which campus location they receive information from.
ASU has a longstanding relationship with Blackboard, having previously adopted the company's learning management system, Blackboard Learn, in 2001 and Blackboard Student Services in 2011.

Memo to Creditors
Jay Green is a former used-car dealer from Indianapolis. As of now, he is also a former publisher and book distributor from Grand Rapids, Michigan. His book operations recently folded in bankruptcy, leaving more than $1 million in outstanding claims and debts—and many hundreds of unhappy customers.
SHORTCHANGED
The will of the late President Harry S. Truman raised some eyebrows when he left bequests of $500 each to fifteen of the sixteen grandnephews and grandnieces blit only $5 to one, John Ross Truman of Boston. Contacted by newspapermen, the Truman grandnephew said the codicil to the will was drawn at a time when he was studying for the Catholic priesthood, ruling out acceptance of any inheritance because of the vow of poverty. The young man later left his theological studies, took a law degree, and is now associated with the firm of noted criminal lawyer F. Lee Bailey. But Uncle Harry, a Baptist, never changed the will.
GLENN EVERETT
Green, who pitched his mail-order "discount" wares primarily to evangelcals, operated under at least four names: Sovereign Grace Publishers, Associates Publishers and Authors, Southeastern Religious Book Distributors, and Religious Book Discount House (RBDH). RBDH stores were located in Atlanta, Chicago, Fort Worth, and Los Angeles. The firms have been consolidated and reorganized under receivership in an attempt to get the books—and cash—flowing again.
Green advertised heavily in Christian magazines, and promoted a "student [sales] evangelist" program among seminarians and Bible school students. He reprinted old masters and standard works long out of print, offering them at remarkably low prices, and he even came out with his own slightly modernized version of the King James Bible. He discounted contemporary works from dry theological texts to popular best sellers. This earned both him and the publishers who supplied him the ire of retailers. The latter as a rule stick to list prices (the markup on an average book is between 40 and 50 per cent), virtually as a matter of sheer survival. Overhead is high, and volume isn't that great, thus undercutting is a serious threat to them. A few publishers bowed to pressure from a number of Christian booksellers and refused to do business with Green; others stayed with him. Through it all, Green kept insisting his business was a "ministry."
About a year ago, many of Green's mail order customers (annual dues: $2.50) began getting credit memos instead of books. There were few refunds. In fact, Green appealed to his customers to send offerings instead of dun letters. Those who threatened legal action sometimes received a check, but with a printed note attached stating there were no funds in the bank to pay it and asking for a reprieve. He's finally gotten it.
'PRAY FOR MY SON'
They buried Mark "Jimmy" Essex, 23, his body riddled by more than 100 bullets, in the town where he'd spent a rather tranquil boyhood, far from the violence that ended his and six other lives at a New Orleans hotel. Three of the others slain were police officers, gunned down by Essex and possibly accomplices.
The funeral service was conducted in Emporia, Kansas, by Pastor W. A. Chambers of the St. James Baptist Church, who years before had baptized Essex. The black youth faithfully attended St. James with his family, say sources. He tithed, sang in the choir, was active in Sunday school, and ushered as a teen-ager.
Shocked family members and neighbors could offer no explanation for what the youth had done. But somehow, they said, Essex the sniper was "different" from Essex the boy. He had joined the Navy four years earlier, and his experiences there radically changed him, they alleged. They cited racial slurs, run-ins with officers, disputes over ratings, and other troubles that embittered him and drove him AWOL. He was finally court-martialed, and discharged.
The details of just who and what pushed Essex the most may never be known. At any rate, he returned to Emporia from the Navy "with a tremendous hatred for white folks," says Chambers. He also repudiated Christianity as a "white man's religion," but neither the minister nor the family could find out why, reported Judy Henry of the Emporia Gazette. Investigators later found the walls of Essex's run-down New Orleans place smeared with hate slogans, and they say he traveled in militant circles.
In the funeral service, Chambers identified with both black anguish and biblical mandates. "I know our patience has worn thin," he told mourners packed into the 110-seat church, "but [God] will guide us and protect us. Trust in the Lord and wait patiently for him." The world's ills cannot be cured by a philosophy of violence and hatred, he insisted. "The God I know teaches love."
A few softly uttered affirmations from the congregation punctuated his sermon, but it fell on some deaf ears too. There were clenched-fist salutes and black-power tokens at graveside. To one wreath was attached a slogan: "Power to the people." They may have been Essex's last words.
Meanwhile, services were held in New Orleans for the three Roman Catholic police officers, one of them the second-highest ranking officer in the department, and a hotel employee. The bodies of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Steagall, who had been in New Orleans on a delayed honeymoon trip, were returned to Martinsville, Virginia, for a Disciples of Christ burial service. The tragedy hit Steagall's mother hard, but, said she, "I just feel the Lord had a reason for taking them."
During the shoot-out itself, Baptist and Roman Catholic chaplains ministered to firemen and policemen on the scene, to victims in hospitals, and to families of the slain and wounded. When it was rumored that snipers were holding hostages, Catholic archbishop Philip M. Hannan offered to be an intermediary and substitute hostage, but the rumors proved to be false.
On the Sunday morning Essex began his rampage, his mother reportedly rose in church and asked the congregation to pray for her son, "who doesn't want to go along with the Lord."
Shifting The Context
In twin actions at Sacramento last month, the California Board of Education decided that social-science textbooks—rather than science texts—are the proper place to discuss religious theories of creation for the state's 3.3 million elementary-school pupils. A unanimously passed motion shifted the arena of the running battle between creationists and evolutionists on the nine-member board from science to social-science texts. These include history, anthropology, geography, ecology, philosophy, psychology, and economics. The motion was made by Seventh-day Adventist physician John A. Ford, the board's vice-president.
In another action, those on the board who wanted equal treatment for creationism alongside Darwin in science texts failed in a last-ditch attempt.
Member Eugene Ragle had a surprise motion that was defeated 6–3. The vote put the board on record for the first time against placing religious creation theory in science texts. Ragle's motion called for all science texts for children from kindergarten through eighth grade to include, as part of any treatment of life's origins, the statement:
There are two basic conflicting theories as to the origin of life. Either is fully supported by scientific fact. The older of the two is the theory of divine or special creation. A more recent date is the theory of evolution, to which many scientists subscribe.
President David A. Hubbard of Fuller Seminary, with five other board members, voted against the motion. Hubbard commented later that his negative vote was based not upon disagreement with the statement but upon its "timing and strategy." He said that since the board had just recognized that creationism has a rightful place in the social-science curriculum, Ragle's motion was not made at the "right time, place, or context." To have voted for Ragle's motion would "have pleased my creationist friends but baffled my board-member colleagues," Hubbard explained. A number of fundamentalists will be disappointed by the board's action, Hubbard predicted, but "the more perceptive ones will understand."
The actions let stand a decision by the board in December to accept science texts for use beginning September, 1974, that do not mention creation theories (see January 5 issue, page 48). An editing committee of seven persons (including Ford and Hubbard) is at work removing what the board calls "scientific dogmatism" from the science texts' presentation of evolution.

Op-Ed | We Need to Move on From Cultural Appropriation
By hiring more people from minority groups, and putting them in positions of power, cultural appropriation will become a non-issue, argues Vienna Kim.
Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2017 | Source: InDigital.tv
Vienna Kim
LONDON, United Kingdom — We live in the "Era of Outrage". It's fashion week, so now is about the time that scores of impassioned Twitter tirades and countless articles on the topic of cultural appropriation flood the internet. However, these have often obscured what exactly cultural appropriation is, and it seems only the loudest and angriest voices get heard. For better or for worse, cultural appropriation has been in the spotlight in recent years. However, many experts agree that the spotlight is on the wrong issue. Antonia Opiah, founder of Un-Ruly, a platform that celebrates the beauty of black women, says that angry tweets "don't do a lot to address the larger issue." So what is the greater problem, and how can we tackle it?
The primary concern with instances of cultural appropriation in fashion is that it propagates structural imbalances in society. Put simply: when a white designer takes a symbol, pattern, motif, or style from a minority culture that has historically been oppressed by Western imperialism, it adds insult to injury. It effectively says, "We can take your culture and use it for our own commercial gain, without giving due credit or profit to you." If this were done on an even playing field, where minority groups had an equal social standing to Caucasians, it would not be an issue. However, since it is enacted within a history of plundering and murder by imperialists, cultural appropriation becomes yet another act of injustice where white Westerners take what is not theirs for their own gain. As Jessica Andrews, digital fashion editor at Teen Vogue, states, "When brands culturally appropriate while discriminating against people of colour, it sends the message that your hairstyles or your style of dress is acceptable, but your bodies and lives are not."
Beyond the obvious social offenses, cultural appropriation also affects business. "Woke" members of the millennial and Gen-Z generations will call out or boycott brands they have come to disrespect due to acts of cultural appropriation.
"[The younger generation] is thoughtful about their purchases, and they want to spend with fashion brands that are inclusive when it comes to casting models and hiring staff — fashion brands that make a concerted effort to respect cultures other than their own," Andrews continues. "With this new generation, we're seeing a change across the industry. Now representation matters, equal pay matters, a brand's take on political and social issues matters."
Indeed, think of Vogue endorsing Hillary Clinton for president, or how Everlane launched its "100% Human" collection to support ACLU, Equality Now, and the Human Rights Campaign. Brands are becoming increasingly transparent, and are unafraid to voice their political opinions. Now that millennials have become the largest demographic in the workforce, it is important to note that this is the popular turn brands are taking.
With this new generation... representation matters, equal pay matters, a brand's take on political and social issues matters.
Although various publications and websites are talking more about cultural appropriation and diversification in the fashion industry, as the VOICES 2016 talk with Joan Smalls and Hari Nef revealed, these concerns are not being remedied. Brands are proving slow to understand why cultural appropriation is such a big deal. Robbie Sinclair, womenswear editor at WGSN says: "There is a very blurred, grey area of understanding about … cultural appropriation. That's what brands struggle to get their head around." Designers and CEOs need to do their research, read about cultural appropriation, discover what the real issue is (continual structural imbalance) and understand that their younger audience deeply cares about such issues. However, in order to truly move past the problem, we must put our money where our mouth is.
The first step is to be mindful of the cultures we are quoting or referring to. Have a discussion with members of that minority group so that they can advise whether such an approach would be acceptable or not, and give credit where credit is due. Even better, collaborate with designers and businesspersons that belong to these groups. "The idea that cultural appropriation precludes you from drawing inspiration from other cultures isn't necessarily true," says Andrews. "The issue comes in when you pull from other cultures without doing your due diligence: acknowledging the culture that popularised the look and respecting symbols that are considered sacred."
Opiah adds that empathy is also key: "As individuals, [we must] approach conversations about cultural appropriation with an open mind and think about the underlying tensions… look for those tensions and understand the challenges the minority culture is up against and listen to them, empathise with them."
Lastly, and most poignantly, we need an overhaul of the fashion system, in business, as well as in representation on the runway and magazine covers. We need to hire more talented people that belong to minority groups so that there can be a diverse pool of voices that are able to inform whether a potential instance of cultural appropriation is problematic or not. "People in power need to be aware of any existing inequalities in their industries," says Opiah. "Business-wise, challenge people to think about who they are hiring and why — is it making their work place homogenous?" Greater diversity of voices will inform the choices made around potential instances of cultural appropriation, thereby avoiding careless mistakes or mishaps.
So, does fashion need cultural appropriation? Yes, but not in the ways of the past. We need to hire qualified, talented people from minority groups (and put them in positions of power), collaborate with cultures we are inspired by, and let people who have been dispossessed have their say about their culture in order for "appropriation" to become a non-issue. When the playing field is equal and artists and cultures are given due respect, only then can members of all cultures exchange motifs, patterns and cuts freely, without fear of the dreaded Twitter backlash. Such a world seems like a far-off Utopia, but it is one that businesses and individuals can nonetheless aspire to. This will increase exposure to a variety of worldviews, thus producing new collaborations, new mixtures, new fascinating perspectives and — most importantly — a fresh creative output where inspiration can truly be unlimited.

Avant-gardism is a term that has become overripe and lost its sheen, but I believe it is as essential today as it was decades ago. The fashion industry is at a critical point where consumer behaviour is rapidly changing, technology is becoming our lifeblood, and ideas are so prolific, it is difficult to single out which ones are worth pursuing. This is why we constantly need fresh talent to spotlight where the future of fashion is headed, and instigate its inevitable progression.
It is therefore a massive honour to have been chosen as one of these avant-gardists, as a part of the Future VOICES programme. My profoundest thanks goes to the Business of Fashion team, especially my editor, Osman Ahmed, who encouraged me to be ambitious whilst writing this article. He believed in my ability to make a difference.
Personally, I see this article as the launch of my role as a fashion activist. I am passionate that fashion should be a platform for positive change — environmentally, politically, socially and personally. I hope this will be the first of many opportunities where I will be able to speak on behalf of those who do not feel fashion is for them, when it should be.
The views expressed in Op-Ed pieces are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Business of Fashion.

August Ludwig Mensching (auch: Augustus Ludovicus Mensching sowie Ludewig Mensching; * getauft 15. Januar 1753 in Boizenburg; † 23. August 1804 in Nienburg an der Weser) war ein deutscher Arzt und hannoverscher Hofmedicus.

Leben
August Ludwig Mensching war ein Bruder des späteren Hofmedicus Johann Heinrich Mensching und wurde zur Zeit des Kurfürstentums Braunschweig-Lüneburg während der Personalunion zwischen Großbritannien und Hannover im Jahr 1753 geboren. Über seinen Lebensweg ist nur wenig bekannt.

1777 wirkte Mensching als Respondent an der Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen für eine medizinische Dissertation von Ernst Ludwig Baldinger.

In Hannover wirkte Mensching schließlich als königlicher und kurfürstlicher Hofmedikus Am 18. September 1797 verfasste er einen Brief an den Direktor des Georgianum Johann Georg Heinrich Feder, in dem er die Gründung einer naturhistorischen Lesegesellschaft und den Aufbau einer hierfür geeigneten naturwissenschaftlichen Bibliothek anregte. Kaum drei Monate später wurde am 11. Dezember 1797 im "Westernacher'schen Gartenhaus", dem Vergnügungslokal Vauxhall, die dann Naturhistorische Gesellschaft Hannover (NHG) genannte Vereinigung gegründet. Zum ersten Direktor wurde Mensching gewählt. Noch am Gründungstag unterzeichnete Mensching als Direktor und mit ihm Gottlieb Franz Münter als erster Sekretär der Gesellschaft beispielsweise die Ernennung des in den Herrenhäuser Gärten tätigen Gartenmeisters Johann Christoph Wendland zum ordentlichen Mitglied der NHG. Die Urkunde aus der vormaligen Königlichen Gartenbibliothek Herrenhausen findet sich heute in der Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Bibliothek – Niedersächsische Landesbibliothek und zählt zum Kulturerbe Niedersachsens.

Im ersten Adressbuch der Stadt Hannover für das Jahr 1798 war "Ludewig Mensching" als Hofmedicus mit Wohn- und Arbeitsstätte am Neuen Weg der Altstadt verortet.

Schriften (Auswahl)
 Ernst Ludwig Baldinger, August Ludov Mensching: De Regvlis Generalioribvs In Morborvm Cvrationibvs Vbique Observandis. Ex Decreto Medicorvm Ordinis Praeside Ern. Godofr. Baldinger ... Pro Gradv Doctoris Medicinae D. XXIX. Martii. MDCCLXXVII. Dispvtabit Avgvst. Lvdov. Mensching, Megapolitanvs, Goettingae, Typis Joann. Christian. Dieterich, [1777]; Digitalisat der Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen (SUB)

Menschingstraße
Die 1924 im Stadtteil Bult angelegte Menschingstraße in Hannover, die vom Robert-Koch-Platz zur Lindemannallee führt, soll laut dem Adressbuch der Stadt Hannover von 1930 "nach einer alten hannoverschen Familie" benannt sein. Genauer war sie wohl entweder nach dem Geheimen Sanitätsrat und Direktor des Friederikenstiftes Ernst Georg Moritz Hermann Mensching benannt oder – nach Hinrich Hesse – nach dem Hofmedikus Ludwig Mensching.

Q: Question on ANTLR grammar rule in TSqlParser.g4 at https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4/blob/master/sql/tsql In the TSqlParser.g4 file
    1.On line 3247, a rule predicate is defined as
    predicate
         expression comparison_operator expression
    In turn comparision_operator is defined as
    comparison_operator
        : '=' | '>'

 | '<' | '<' '=' | '>' '=' | '<' '>' | '!' '=' | '!' '>' | '!' '<'

2. On line 3166, a rule expression is defined as
expression
     expression op=('*' | '/' | '%') expression

Why would someone write a rule one way or the other ? The predicate rule too could have been written as "expression op=( '=' | '>' | '<' | '<' '=' | '>' '=' | '<' '>' | '!' '=' | '!' '>' | '!' '<' expression". Or the expression rule could have been written as "expression divMultModOperator expression" with divMultModOperator defined as '*' | '/' | '%'. What are the advantages (or rationale) for writing a rule one way Vs the other ?

When clicking on the drawing tool in the upper right corner, the colors on the pallet are not the only available choices. If one moves his finger from the palette around the screen, without picking up his finger, there are a range of other colors to choose from. White can be chosen near the left edge of the screen, and black can be picked at the bottom. There are also many shades of brown, pink and teal in between.
Another useful hack deals with taking videos. There are many phones where the Snapchat app is downloadable on, but this trick only works with iPhones unfortunately. Once the user starts the video by holding the photo button, he can double click the home button as if he were going to clear his "recently used apps." This person can lift up his finger and keep the screen like this for a while, and the video on Snapchat will continue to record. Making extra long videos for friends might confuse them a bit as the receiver reads the message in 10 seconds, but in reality, it is much longer.
One more trick has to do with the text ability on the app. By going to the notes app or any place where typing can be done, copy multiple lines of spaces and then paste them in the Snapchat text bar. Once this step is completed, typing extra long messages with more characters is possible.
There are many more tips and tricks for iPhones and apps like Snapchat available on the App Store. Just search around on the internet and experiment a little, and use the sneaky techniques to amaze other students and friends.

In late October 2020, Guardian Angel staff members representing all departments came together for a working session to develop a statement in support of Black Lives Matter. The following statement reflects the ideas generated in the session, as well as feedback gathered after a draft was disseminated to the entire staff. This agency-wide process generated a lively and candid discussion of how Guardian Angel's values, history, and services to the community align with the vision of the BLM movement. Ultimately, any statement is only as meaningful as the actions that make it a reality. We recognize that more work must be done.
"Guardian Angel Settlement Association stands in solidarity with and in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. As the BLM movement strives for equity in our society, for generations our quality childcare and social service programs have made a positive impact by uplifting and empowering members of our community and paving the way towards a more equitable future for those who we serve. Our 160-year history of mission driven service to the St. Louis community has informed our values and shaped our goals. We proudly acknowledge that our mission, values, and goals align with the BLM movement and we are committed to do our part to ensure that racial equity becomes a reality. We condemn police brutality, institutional racism, white supremacy and all forms of oppression. We support the rights of all people who seek a more just and equitable world.
Social work is rooted in social justice and anti-oppression, and so is our mission. Our mission is to serve people by helping them to improve the quality of their life and achieve economic independence. Our mission is guided by the knowledge that education promotes equitable participation in the world and leads to economic uplift. Further, we understand the need for and the power of people telling their own stories. In honor of that truth, we provide our clients, families, and volunteers a space to tell their own stories in an accepting and non-judgmental space.
The foundation of our values is respect. We respect the community that we serve. We respect each other in our workplace. We respect the mission that has inspired us as an organization for 160 years. We are a family focused and community-oriented grassroots organization. Our commitment to caring for and making a difference in the lives of children by delivering early childhood education and providing food security are all reflections of our values. We also live our values through our work to promote independence and empowerment of those we serve. We are responsive and inclusive to the needs of both our internal and external communities. We value building relationships that meet the unique needs of each individual that we serve. We value empathy and counseling as tools for positive impact in our community. In addition, we value helping other grassroots organizations in order to achieve greater impact in our community. These values are parallel to the value of the BLM movement and the fight for racial justice.
We strive to be a village that collectively cares for one another. Within our work community we promote financial stability through compensation/benefits which reflect that commitment. We maintain an open-door policy so that everyone in our work community feels supported and heard.
Within the St. Louis community, we aim to serve as a resource for solutions, listen to and address the concerns of the community, promote retaining money and economic activity in our community, and build bridges and open lines of communication between individuals and organizations throughout the City. Our goal is to be a safe haven for our community.
Both internally and externally, our goal is to advocate for the respect of the humanity of all people. We embrace the representation of cultural differences and believe in the transformative power of love. Our goal is to use that power to heal our city.
We are well aware of the long history of segregation and racial inequity in St. Louis. Our small but mighty organization has and will continue to work tirelessly to eradicate these barriers through the services and resources that we provide. We are committed to continuing our work and call upon others to join us as we build a community in which justice and equity thrive and Black lives matter. "

The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility (AWA) is dedicated to the study of electron beam physics and the development of accelerating structures based on electron beam driven wakefields. In order to carry out these studies, the facility employs a photocathode RF gun capable of generating electron beams with high bunch charges (up to 100 nC) and short bunch lengths. This high intensity beam is used to excite wakefields in the structures under investigation. The wakefield structures presently under development are dielectric loaded cylindrical waveguides with operating frequencies of 8 -15 GHz, in which gradients of 100 MV/m have been reached. Similar structures have also been used as RF power sources, driven by single electron bunches or bunch trains of up to 16 bunches. Other important experiments, at different RF frequencies and using planar or cylindrical geometries, have been carried out at various other facilities. A number of new experiments are planned in the near future to explore the capabilities of this class of structures. This presentation will provide an up-to-date survey of the activities in this area of research.

"Ebola Must be Isolated, not the people"
European Union Ebola Coordinator and Commissioner for Humanitarian and Crisis Management, Christos Stylianides has urged countries unaffected by the Ebola Virus Disease not to discriminate against or isolate people of Ebola affected countries, but isolate the disease itself.Commissioner Stylianides' statement comes in the wake of isolation and discriminatory measures by many countries including Morocco, Australia and Canada to prevent people of Ebola affected countries from entering their countries.Speaking at a brief press conference on November 14 at the EU's Mamba Point office, Mr. Stylianides reiterated that "we want to isolate the disease, not the people. We must not allow fear to dictate our actions. This is the foundation of our commitment and solidarity."Commenting further on strategies to curb the disease and take precautionary measures to prevent future outbreaks, the EU Commissioner said now is the time to begin thinking about a plan to build infrastructures, especially the healthcare delivery system on a long-term basis, noting that success cannot be assured without a long-term plan."It is essential to provide the necessary resources to reconstruct the health system which was overwhelmed by the Ebola offense. We are committed to help rebuild it," he assured.The EU diplomat further assured that Liberia, like other Ebola affected countries in the Mano River Basin, is not alone in the fight against Ebola.He said EU's commitment to help affected countries is strong and a long-term one, recalling the union's total commitment of US$1.2 billion since the outbreak to fight the disease.In addition to the previous commitment, Mr. Stylianides announced another amount of US$21 million.In consonance with the Liberian Government and international organizations including the MSF and WHO's announcement of a drop in the rate of infections, Mr. Stylianides observed that, "In Liberia the nature of the epidemic is changing; we need to be more flexible in our response."Considering that complacency may overturn the decline and cause the disease to spread with vigor again, the EU Commissioner warned that we must not lose sight of the threat. He said we must remain on the alert as Ebola remains a "clear and present danger".He acknowledged the presence of other international partners in the fight against Ebola and also paid tribute to frontline doctors and nurses who have lost their lives as a result of their humanitarian decision to take the risk in fighting the disease.Another high profile EU Commissioner, Vytenis Andriukaitis who heads Health and Food Safety, added to his colleague's view that people in other countries must not discriminate against those in affected countries but must be vigilant without fear to ensure that the disease is contained.He warned that the virus exists in communities and community dwellers need to be educated on environmental cleanliness and attitude change.This is not the first time the EU has condemned stigmatization and discrimination against people of and from Ebola affected countries.It can be recalled that a few months back Deputy Director General for Europe Aid, Marcus Cornaro frowned on those discriminating against West Africans affected by Ebola and said that approach was not the right way to solve the problem.Others including the president of the African Development Bank, Dr. Donald Kaberuka, condemned the act from the onset of the spread of the disease and said countries cancelling flights and avoiding those of Ebola affected countries were acting without expert advice.The Government of Liberia through the Foreign Ministry has cried foul against discriminatory and stigmatizing acts by many countries against people from countries affected by Ebola.Foreign Minister Augustine Ngafuan of late complained that some countries (not named) have cancelled flights to Liberia and put in place harsh measures for Liberians studying and working in those countries.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

New movers and shakers in the world of sport
The 119th IOC Session today elected four new members, re-elected Gerhard Heiberg to the Executive Board (EB) and nominated three honorary members.
Women in sport: an IOC focus
The election of HRH Princess Haya bint Al-Hussein (United Arab Emirates), President of the International Equestrian Federation, and Rita Subowo (Indonesia), President of the Indonesian Olympic Committee, strongly reflects the IOC's desire to lead by example as regards its policy of increasing the number of women in sports organisations. The number of female IOC members is now 16. Elected alongside them were Patrick Baumann (Switzerland), Secretary General of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), and Andrés Botero (Colombia), President of the Colombian Olympic Committee. These four new members will serve a term of office of eight years. As of today, the IOC has 115 members.
Executive Board elections
Gerhard Heiberg has been re-elected to the EB as a member for a new four–year term of office. An IOC member since 1994, Heiberg is currently Chairman of the IOC Marketing Commission and a member of the TV Rights and New Media Commission. Chaired by President Rogge, the EB now comprises Gunilla Lindberg, Lambis V. Nikolaou, Chiharu Igaya and Thomas Bach as Vice-Presidents; and Denis Oswald, Mario Vázquez Raña, Ottavio Cinquanta, Sergey Bubka, Zaiqing Yu, Richard L. Carrión, Ser Miang Ng, Mario Pescante, Sam Ramsamy and Gerhard Heiberg.
Three IOC honorary members
Reaching the age limit of 80 years old, Shagdarjay Magvan (Mongolia), Anani Matthia (Togo) and Ram Ruhee (Mauritius), will cease to be IOC members at the end of this year. Upon the proposal of the EB, after serving more than 10 years and having rendered exceptional services to the IOC, they have been elected by the IOC Session as IOC honorary members. Magvan has been an IOC member since 1977, Matthia since 1983 and Ruhee since 1988. Furthermore, Henri Sérandour (France) will also cease to be a member at the end of 2007. However, as he was elected in 2000, he will not become an IOC honorary member.

Book-sized solar panels could power a whole home in new breakthrough
Scientists have developed a pioneering new technique that could generate enough electricity to power an entire home ? all by using solar panels that are much smaller than current models.
A team of experts from the University of Exeter has discovered an innovative way for generating photovoltaic (PV) energy ? or ways in which to convert light into power.
The new technique relies on ?funneling? the sun?s energy more efficiently directly into power cells, such as solar panels or batteries.
Crucially, this ground-breaking method has the potential to harvest three times the energy compared with traditional systems. The researchers believe their breakthrough could result in solar panels, no bigger than a book, producing enough energy to power a family-sized house.
The results are published in the leading scientific journal, Nature Communications.
Adolfo De Sanctis, who is the lead author of the paper, said: ?The idea is similar to pouring a liquid into a container, as we all know it is much more efficient if we use a funnel. However, such charge funnels cannot be realized with conventional semiconductors and only the recent discovery of atomically thin materials has enabled this discovery.?
In the research, the team of physics experts developed a process to ?funnel? electrical charge onto a chip. Using the atomically thin semiconductor hafnium disulphide (HfS2), which is oxidized with a high-intensity UV laser, the team was able to engineer an electrical field that funnels electrical charges to a specific area of the chip, where they can be more easily extracted.
While current solar cells are able to convert around 20% of the energy received from the sun, the new technique has the potential to convert around 60% of it by funneling the energy more efficiently. .. Source
