Idris Elba gives coronavirus health update, says he and wife still not experiencing any symptoms
Idris Elba took to Twitter to give fans a report on his condition in the wake of revealing that both he and his better half have coronavirus.
On March 16, the "Hobbs and Shaw" on-screen character uncovered that he tested positive for COVID-19, yet noted at the time that he was not encountering any side effects of the infection. He's since shared customary reports via web-based networking media, including uncovering that his wife, Sabrina Dhowre, tested positive too. His most recent update came Wednesday night when he posted a photograph of himself beside a window alongside an inscription about how he's adapting.
"Trusting everybody is adapting to this [email protected]@!! At present, despite everything isolate. Sab I despite everything feel alright so far without any changes," Elba composed. "Dr disclosed to us that after isolate we will be invulnerable for a specific time since our antibodies battled this. Sooner or later, we'd prefer to return home to London. Bsafe."
The actor previously said that he experienced a migraine and body aches on the day he was tried however has since bobbed once more from that. In view of his most recent post, it appears the greatest obstacle for the star's recuperation right now is escaping isolate and returning home.
Elba was in New Mexico working when his positive test outcome came through. He's been in segregation there since the time with Dhowre, who uncovered on Oprah Winfrey's new Apple TV+ series "Oprah Talks COVID-19" that she stayed at her better half's side notwithstanding the dangers of getting the infection.
"As soon as I heard that Idris was potentially exposed, I mean, I was on my way anyway, I wanted to be with him," she said. "I think that's an instinct as a wife. You just want to go and take care."
"We didn't change the way we interacted," she added. "I could have made a decision to put myself maybe in a separate room or stay away, and I'm sure that people are making those decisions that are tough decisions to make. But I made the decision to be with him and still touch him."
Elba made a point to take note of that he was with his significant other before he got tried and conceded that the probability that she wasn't at that point uncovered was low.
He clarified that they "settled on a determined choice as a family to stay together through this."
Elba is one of a few big names to get the novel infection, including Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and Kristofer Hivju.

Q: Kafka Streams - Application JVMs crashing randomly I have a Kafka Streams application running on multiple JVMs (5 in total) to improve throughput. It runs fine for an hour or so and then, each JVM starts crashing one after another except the last one. is crashing randomly without exceptions in my code. When I looked at the core dump, it says:
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

I'm unable to correlate this error with my code.

A: Based on the comments, it would be best to use the latest Java version that Kafka supports, for example, Java 11 (and optionally with Scala 2.13).
Overwise, you can change the Garbage Collector to something like CMS instead of G1GC

Happily Ever After: Reducing the Risk When Migrating IBM-Centric Businesses to the Web
"E-COBOL," the marriage of COBOL-based programming and e-commerce, gives COBOL-trained companies a chance to enter the ever-expanding market of e-business with as little difficulty as possible.
"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" is the traditional formula for a happy marriage.
The marriage of COBOL-based programming and the new wave of e-commerce, which we call e-COBOL, run along the same formula. e-COBOL allows a company to take its existing programs written in the COBOL language, tie them to the exploding world of e-business, borrow some handy technology to bridge the gap between the COBOL world and the Internet, and profit from the new opportunity.
e-COBOL extends the COBOL language so the ACCEPT/DISPLAY verbs (used to accept screen input and display text) can accept a Web form and display a Web page. This enables the programmer to use familiar syntax without being concerned with the details of CGI, SAPI or NSAPI. There is also an EXEC HTML statement, similar to EXEC SQL, that allows the acceptance of SQL data. EXEC HTML enables a programmer to embed HTML directly into a COBOL program, substituting dynamic data in the same way as the SQL data.
E-Business Success
As we approach the Year 2000, e-business promises to be the major driving force in IT development through the early part of the next millennium. The challenge is making it happen fast enough to create a competitive advantage while leveraging existing skills and investment. The cost-effectiveness of NT and UNIX platforms is also making it increasingly attractive to migrate mainframe applications to these popular platforms.
Operations like the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) know the value of e-COBOL. AAFES sells a wide range of products to active and retired armed services personnel through 10,878 facilities worldwide. With revenues of $5 billion, AAFES processed over 5 million invoices last year.
AAFES was aware of the success of online stockbrokers like e-schwab and e-trade. They knew that amazon.com was able to turn its electronic inventory 25 times a year and that organizations like autobytel.com have gotten 1.5 million purchase requests in the past three years. AAFES was quite unwilling to concede the potentially lucrative online market to any start-up firms. Yet many key processes, like their Visa statement system, were based on COBOL.
AAFES wanted to offer its customers the same kind of convenience in every area of its business, but was unwilling to throw out its old computer system and felt it imperative to use its existing staff to develop its e-business system. Today, they have fully automated their Visa statements so people can look at them online.
By now, most companies have dealt with the Y2K problem. The world of e-commerce is the next challenge IS/IT departments will face. According to International Data Corp., by 2001, the global Web economy will surpass $500 billion. Interestingly, while the consumer market is attractive, 80 percent of that growth will be in the business-to-business area and only 20 percent in the consumer market. That makes the case for e-business all the more compelling.
There are three levels of e-business development that any organization has to deal with:
•	e-support – improving service or support
•	e-commerce – trading on the Web
•	e-business – the all-encompassing term which is the sum of e-support and e-commerce
The term e-business also is used to describe business-to-business systems (using the Web as the EDI transport layer). This is a rather narrow definition. Perhaps, better is IBM's definition that says, "e-business is what happens when you combine the broad reach of the Internet with the vast resources of traditional information technology systems."
Changes in Structure
The GartnerGroup predicts (with an 80 percent probability) that the browser will displace Windows as the primary client platform for new application development. By the Year 2000, the browser will be as important as the Windows client. This does not mean that Windows is dead – the browser will run under Windows. But with this swing toward the browser as the main client, the browser will represent the biggest threat to Microsoft and the PC-oriented Web world.
The message is clear: No matter what is being used in today's computing environment – whether Windows or COBOL – it must be browser-compatible.
Users are moving up a ladder from static applications to database-enabled applications. Next, they will go to transactional applications, and eventually (at the top level) to fully integrated processes that allow Web-enabled commerce between companies. At that point, buying and selling will be fully integrated in an EDI-like manner.
That last step is a tough one, especially for companies with a history of commerce. Most COBOL programmers would envy amazon.com's "greenfield" approach to programming. They had a vision and wrote software to enable them to do commerce on the Web. Their programmers did a fine job of executing the company's business plan.
The typical Fortune 1000 firm has a huge investment in COBOL. It is the heart of their business logic. They cannot afford to create an e-commerce system from scratch and then discover that it is not compatible with decades of corporate applications deployed on other systems. It is simply impractical to consider any alternative that does not allow the company to leverage its existing COBOL infrastructure.
Moving applications to the Web can involve screen scrapers. A screen scraper sits between the 3270 data stream and converts it to a graphical user interface format. A good example of the complexity required is the typical airline's database. Every airline has a reservation system, with flight times, ticket costs, aircraft configurations and frequent flier information. That information is presented to ticket agents, travel agents and other industry insiders. The presentation is less than beautiful, but the information is available to anyone that has undergone two week's training and studies the manual.
Unfortunately, typical travelers making airline reservations on the Web for a honeymoon trip to Cancun do not have the time to ramp up to the educational level required. They expect a pleasing, simple front-end interface that tells them which flights are available, at what times and for how much money.
The challenge for the MIS department is to change the plain, functional front-end visual format to something more graphically friendly, but to retain the information from the COBOL program and the transaction information that is running on the host. To do that, the front-end has to be changed while the back-end is retained. The key to success is to reuse as much of the COBOL as possible.
When connecting back to the mainframe, any key middleware should be usable, whether it is TX series, MQ series or Microsoft Transaction System. It also is imperative to gain access to the data whether SQL Data, Mainframe VSAM Data or some other data type is being used. That data must be available and usable by the computer in the format in which it currently exists.
Human Investment
Beyond the business tools, there is a sizable human investment in COBOL. The existing cadre of COBOL programmers are familiar with the company's core business logic and its supporting data. They know which systems link to others. They know the people in the accounting and marketing departments. They have a deep loyalty to the organization. It would be senseless to waste valuable human resources with COBOL expertise which have built successful companies. In just about every case, the firm will have to keep some COBOL programmers on staff to guide the new, high-priced Web talent.
Most have no understanding at all of COBOL, which will be the key source of their information. It is fair to say that Java programmers typically a have much lower understanding of the business requirements of such projects, so there is a greater risk of failure.
Most of these Web programmers come from a Microsoft-centric world, one dealing with relatively small volume, small scale, departmental-based systems. At the higher end, typically the IBM/Cobol end, one finds large enterprises focused on transactional systems with CICS and IMS. The problem most programmers face is making the leap from the IBM mainframe world to the world of e-business.
After a one-week training program, typical COBOL programmers become familiar with Web-enablement technology and understand the issues involved in Web architectures (such as coping with the lack of states in HTTP).
There is a watershed decision that needs to be made early in any e-business development process: Is the organization going to make its own solution or is it going to buy the expertise it needs? Starting from scratch obviously will take a long time. However, it may result in the most flexible and the most customizable solution.
Packages are quite fast to implement, but they do not allow the business to differentiate well. The real need is a process that takes a sizable core of existing COBOL programming – eliminating the need to develop from scratch – while permitting some customization to give the interface and graphical look needed for e-business.
To accomplish this, programmers need tools that have the staying power to support editing, compiling and debugging legacy mainframe COBOL applications. Gaining the competitive edge requires a product that provides all the programming tools in one easy-to-use, consistent interface.
Many firms have a deeply embedded COBOL base. Using e-COBOL simplifies the development of e-business applications and the extension of legacy applications to the Internet and eases legacy application migration.
e-COBOL is a powerful combination of COBOL syntax and highly productive tools that enable the programmer to develop Internet applications without needing to understand the detail of Web interfaces like CGI, ISAPI or NSAPI.
The challenge, then, is to extend the existing databases and programming resources to the world of Web-based commerce. One of the fastest ways to bring an e-business project to market is to leverage the existing databases and existing human skill sets. This is what AAFES continues to do successfully.
A project which could have taken a year or more to complete, had management decided to re-invent the wheel by developing a complete Internet-based system, was executed using existing systems in three months and has been bringing in revenue ever since.
The secret is to find a way to make use of the existing business logic. (The fact remains, business logic is still developed in COBOL with an appropriate front-end). By using e-COBOL to extend its business applications to the Web, AAFES was able to re-host existing legacy applications and optimize the reuse of its existing business logic. e-COBOL makes it easy to create an HTML front-end around a COBOL business logic component and at the same time access transactions easily in that environment.
Taking COBOL to the Web
While nobody wants a shotgun wedding, time is of the essence. There is no question that the fastest way to get to e-commerce is to identify and reuse existing business logic. After that, other requirements would include support for CGI, ISAPI and NSAPI; ability to create CORBA/COM objects; a server-oriented Web design program, oriented to the typical COBOL programmer; and ability to execute remote transactions for IMS and CICS.
Forget about throwing a COBOL programmer some Front Page disks and expecting an e-business solution to appear a few months later. Any solution has to integrate COBOL and HTML. It has to provide transaction integrity. Parts of applications will have to be re-hosted on the server.
The programmer will want to select a tool that allows him or her to:
•	Maintain existing applications
•	Develop applications that require data and transaction access
•	Identify and component-ize business logic (use COBOL to create CORBA objects from existing logic)
•	Develop dynamic HTML and create Web pages
•	Re-map from the Web page directly to a COBOL data item
•	Generate applications from a Web page that automatically updates itself on the server
Typically, data in a Web page is ordinary string data. But a COBOL programmer wants COBOL numeric data items so they can be manipulated mathematically and converted from string to numeric data (or vice versa). Programmers must be certain to use an "open technology" approach, so as not to force dependence on a single middleware solution. Most successful IT organizations will elect a "best-of-breed," third-party approach.
In large corporations, it is the business systems that differentiate one from another. Service delivery, shipment tracking, customer access to databases, presentation of historic data – all are key components which provide the hallmarks of service used by different companies. Adopting a packaged application forces the company to become another face in the commercial crowd, and costs the company its service cachet. Once a company realizes the benefits of differentiation, any desire to dump the COBOL databases for a packaged plan simply disappears.
With the proper tools, a COBOL-trained shop can get to e-business in a matter of months. AAFES completed four e-COBOL projects in one year using just two COBOL programmers. The key concept to keep in mind is that a COBOL/e-commerce marriage brings together two well-established families of technology. The mainframe component brings with it traditional values like scalability and reliability from the IBM world. The new technology comes from the Microsoft family with its heightened graphics and distributed background. The real challenge is to marry those two families of technology into a long, harmonious and productive relationship.
A reasonable business goal is to become fully e-business-compatible in 12 months or less. Key points to keep in mind are that the successful company must get to the Web – fast. It will leverage existing human skills and reuse existing applications and data. The payoff will be faster implementations, shorter payback time, flexibility to differentiate your company from all others and a scalable solution.
The next step is to move to the Unix world. The challenge of porting Unix to the Web world is similar, in broad terms, to COBOL's. The payoff will be similar: scalability from the smallest PC-based system, through COBOL, up to the largest Unix-based system.
What about the "something blue" in our wedding success formula? In the case of e-COBOL, we can chase away the blues by planning the program properly and quickly moving forward to the world of e-commerce.

Caution: 5 Beauty Cycles That Can Suck You In
In the world of beauty, there's high-maintenance and then there's low (I'm of the latter category, in case my story on my dirty hair didn't clue you in). And while no one here will argue about the power of a perfectly applied set of lash extensions or blindingly gorgeous blond hair color that requires nearly biweekly dates with your colorist, you should know what you're getting yourself into. Before you sign part of your life away, consider whether you have the time, budget, and patience to make these processes part of your life. #1. Lash Extensions Lash extensions can reduce your morning getting-ready time like nobody's business, but it's also unavoidable that they'll need some professional love down the line. When I had a set done, I was told they'd fall off on their own with time, but it might not be pretty. The individual fringe, part of what makes the effect so gorgeous, also means lashes will fall out individually and from wherever they want. It won't be uniform, and it could very well look scraggly. Verdict: If you're not planning on maintaining your lashes and don't want to go back in for removal, resist the temptation and practice

In the world of beauty, there's high-maintenance and then there's low (I'm of the latter category, in case my story on my dirty hair didn't clue you in). And while no one here will argue about the power of a perfectly applied set of lash extensions or blindingly gorgeous blond hair color that requires nearly biweekly dates with your colorist, you should know what you're getting yourself into. Before you sign part of your life away, consider whether you have the time, budget, and patience to make these processes part of your life.
#1. Lash Extensions
Lash extensions can reduce your morning getting-ready time like nobody's business, but it's also unavoidable that they'll need some professional love down the line. When I had a set done, I was told they'd fall off on their own with time, but it might not be pretty. The individual fringe, part of what makes the effect so gorgeous, also means lashes will fall out individually and from wherever they want. It won't be uniform, and it could very well look scraggly.
Verdict: If you're not planning on maintaining your lashes and don't want to go back in for removal, resist the temptation and practice with your own falsie strips and eyelash glue.
#2. Gel Manicures
Trust: I love a gel mani like nobody's business. What I don't love is the unavoidable headache that comes after when—cut to a week later—I want the polish off, badly, but am too busy (or lazy) to get myself to a salon. Picking it off isn't recommended, though I'm totally guilty of that sin, and some salons will charge for removal; if they don't, I usually feel guilted into getting a normal manicure even if I'd rather have bare nails for a bit. Sigh.
Verdict: When the situation calls for it (like you need glossy nails for a full week of vacation), treat yourself. Just remember the end situation isn't as simple as swiping remover on at home, so don't become a junkie.
#3. Spray Tan
In my early days living in New York City, I moonlighted at a spray tan salon, a job I completely loved. And while some women would come in and say their tans just faded away gorgeously, others (including me) weren't so lucky. The faux color can be gorgeous and it's definitely a quick fix for the winter beauty blues, but as the color wears off, it can appear splotchy and not so chic, resulting in a hurried scrub and another booked appointment.
Verdict: Many were the women I met with a standing weekly appointment: They were worried that coworkers who saw them brilliantly bronzed one week would be confused, understandably, if they showed up at next week's meeting back to porcelain. To avoid the tan-to-pale problem, opt for (more affordable) lotion that will build a glow, slowly, from the comfort of your own home.
#4. Highlights
As ombre and visible roots have grown in popularity and acceptance, the manic pace of keeping up with highlights has slowed some. Still, if you're not down for the dark roots thing, know that color applied right at the roots is going to take some vigilance to maintain. As an alternative, colorists are buzzing about écaille, a technique that results in super blended color, with the roots being a tick or two darker than the rest.
Verdict: If you love your color and are willing to be disciplined, go for it. If you want to dabble but know you'll go absolutely cuckoo running to the salon that often, consider something like subtle ombre that doesn't need as much upkeep.
#5. Hair Extensions
The appeal of having instantly long, luscious locks is pretty tough to ignore. It's a fun way of playing dress-up, but there are some things to think about. "It'd be great if you're a celebrity with someone doing your hair every day," Marissa, who's considered it before, commented from her chair a few desks over. "If you're a regular person, it's hard." Having the faux strands in can make blow-drying your hair a special challenge and there's worry that, similar to a super-tight ponytail holder, the area where the extension is bonded to natural hair could come out the other end weaker.
Verdict: Unless you have lots of cash to plonk on your head, consider experimenting with a wallet-friendly clip-in piece. Stylist to the stars Ken Paves' line has been around for a while now, and I've heard good things from girlfriends.
Where do you fall on the 1-to-10 scale of beauty maintenance? Let's say 10 is Kim Kardashian levels of hair and makeup, whereas 1 is not much more than lip balm and a hairbrush.____

Benefits flowing from assured career progression scheme & modified assured career progression scheme are incentives and are not part of pay - Supreme Court of India
Case : Union of India v. R. K. Sharma & Ors. Civil Appeal No. 1579 of 2021 (@ SLP (C) No.15572 of 2019)
Bench : Justice L. Nageswara Rao and Justice Vineet Saran
Article 133 of The Constitution of India
1. The Respondent was appointed as Deputy Director in the Bureau of Industrial Costs and Prices in the Ministry of Industry, Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion which was subsequently merged with Tariff Commission. He was promoted as Director by an order dated 09.02.1994.
2. Certain recommendations were made by the 5th Central Pay Commission relating to the Assured Career Progression Scheme (for short, 'ACPS') for Central Government civilian employees in all the Ministries/Departments along with conditions for grant of benefits under the ACPS. It was implemented in respect of Group 'D', 'C' and 'B 'officers and those holding isolated posts in Group 'A'.
3. By a resolution dated 29th August 2008, Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (for short, 'MACPS') concerning civilian employees of the Central Government in Groups 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' and officers in the All India Services, Chairpersons, Members of the Regulatory Bodies (except the Reserve Bank of India) was accepted by the Central Government with respect to revised scales of pay and dearness allowances w.e.f. 01.01.2006. In so far as the revised allowances, other than the dearness allowance, the effective date according to the memorandum is 1st September 2008.
4. As the scheme was made applicable for officers of the organized group 'A' services w.e.f. 01.01.2006, the Respondent requested the Government to extend the benefit to him as well. He made two representations to the Government but get no response to the representations preferred by him seeking implementation of the MACPS w.e.f. 01.01.2006.
5. Therefore, Respondent filed O.A. in the Central Administrative Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi. The Tribunal dismissed the O.A. filed by the Respondent by its judgment. The Respondent challenged the judgment of the Tribunal before the High Court of Delhi by filing a Writ Petition. The High Court allowed the Writ Petition and directed the Appellants to grant the second financial upgradation to the Respondent under the MACPS w.e.f. 01.01.2006.
Whether the Respondents are entitled to seek implementation of the benefits of MACPS w.e.f. 01.01.2006 according to the resolution dated 29.08.2008?
1. The Honorable Court discussed the case Union of India & Ors. v. Balbir Singh Turn & Anr (2018) 11 SCC 99 and Union of India and Ors. v. M.V. Mohanan Nair (2020) 5 SCC 421 and pointed out that the benefits flowing from ACP & MACP Schemes are incentives and are not part of pay. The resolution dated 29.08.2008 is made effective from 01.09.2008 for implementation of allowances other than pay and dearness allowance which includes financial upgradation under ACP & MACP Schemes.
2. Moreover, the court observed that the implementation of MACPS by granting financial upgradation only to the next grade pay in the pay band and not granting pay of the next promotional post w.e.f. 01.01.2006 would be detrimental to a large number of employees, particularly those who have retired.
3. The Honorable Court find force in the submission made by the learned Additional Solicitor General that uniform implementation of MACPS for civilian employees w.e.f. 01.01.2006 would result in large scale recoveries of amounts paid in excess.
1. The Honorable Court set aside the judgment of the High Court and allow five Appeals out of twenty-seven appeals and held the Respondents and other similarly situated officers not entitled to seek implementation of the benefits of MACPS w.e.f. 01.01.2006 according to the resolution dated 29.08.2008. The remaining appeals was listed for further hearing after summer vacation.


Ocala – Marion County – After a Marion High School Student tested positive for tuberculosis back in August, Marion County is now investigating 12 more cases.
According to the Health Department, 12 more cases have been confirmed.
The Marion County Health Department said that family members, friends, classmates, and teachers from both North Marion High and North Marion Middle School have tested positive to TB.
Marion County school officials are saying they do not want a panic on their hands but at the same time it should be taken seriously.
The Health Department is maintaining that the students are not contagious.
Tuberculosis has always been know to be extremely contagious. We contacted two separate healthcare offices who do not wish not to be identified, we got the same statement on each occasion.
According to Mayo Clinic documentation, tuberculosis is contagious. It is spread from person to person through the air by coughing, speaking, sneezing, spitting, laughing, or singing. The Mayo Clinic says that most individuals that have had proper treatment for at least two weeks may no longer be contagious. However anyone that has been in contact with an infected person prior to receiving treatment are urged to get tested.
We have reached out to the Marion County Health Department and we are awaiting their response.

EXCLUSIVE: Michael Mosley Talks 'Sirens' and Playing a Villain on 'Castle'
He's played a pilot in the '60s. He portrays a killer every now and again on a hit ABC drama. Now, he showcases his funny and lifesaving side on a new USA comedy from Denis Leary and Bob Fisher.
Yes, I'm talking about Michael Mosley from 'Sirens,' where he struts his stuff as EMT Johnny Farrell. When he isn't saving lives, he's busy pranking the new rookie with his best friend, Hank (Kevin Daniels), and figuring out his love life with Theresa (Jessica McNamee).
Mosley was nice enough to sit down with TVRage.com to chat about the brand new comedy, what it's like working with Leary and the cast, and how he hopes to be back as everybody's favorite killer on 'Castle.'
TVRage: So, let's talk your new show 'Sirens.' What was it that attracted you to the show and your character, Johnny?
Michael Mosley: Well, what first attracted me to the show is getting a job and a paycheck … [that] was my first attraction. Obviously, to be able to work with Denis and Bob is amazing. To have Denis there -- I didn't know how involved Denis would be. You never know with these things. … I didn't really know his involvement, but having him there as often as he's been there, which has been pretty much all the time, has been awesome. It's been amazing. To get to work shoulder to shoulder with him and Bob (the creator of 'Wedding Crashers') … to be shoulder to shoulder with those guys and kind of attack the material with them -- they're kind of comedic geniuses -- so it's been like a master class, you know?
TVRage: Obviously, you play an EMT. Did you do any real-life training or research for the part?
Mosley: Yeah, we had a couple technician guys, well, they're called technical advisors, that were there to make sure that if they heard anything that sounded like bullshit, they would come over and make sure we were doing it right. But, for the most, the show is not a tech-heavy feel, it's mostly about us being screw-ups and busting each other's balls and being ridiculous. Then, they kind of temper it with these real incidents. If it was a really tech-heavy day, or there was a lot going on, or we were doing a lot of saving and stuff like that, then we were sure to have those guys right next to a camera so we could run over and make sure nothing looked like baloney.
TVRage: Since you actually spoke with EMTs, how many of the scenarios we've see are based on real-life situations?
Mosley: Yes, some of them are. … The porn thing [Episode 3, "Rachel McAdams Topless"], that was a real thing. That was one of our guys that was working on the show. He thought he was having a heart attack. No baloney. He thought he was having a heart attack -- it was just like a panic attack or whatever. So, he was going to the hospital and he had another guy that works on our show go back to his hotel room and erase his web browser. That's what he was thinking about. As he thought he was turfing out, when he thought he was going to be seeing Jesus and walking into the gates (laughs), and the last thing he thought about was his web browser, which is just fascinating to me. So, that's a real thing. Denis heard the story and was like, 'Well, shit, we gotta put it in the show.'
It's really fun to have Denis be that improvisational and to be able to move that quick. He hears this and he likes, 'Oh, shoot,' and he starts writing. Very fun, and I guess it speaks to the essence of the show that they're just open to what's funny. There's not just some dogma or doctrine about where we're gonna go or what's gonna happen -- from what I can see. I don't know, maybe they've got ideas as far as Seasons 2, 3 or 4, but at its core, it's very loose and I like that about it.
TVRage: There's great chemistry between you, Brian (Kevin Bigley) and Hank. Was there an immediate connection, or did it take some time?
Mosley: There kind of was. A lot of time you do these shows and there are people that are kind of -- there are like assholes around. There's somebody's that's gonna think that what we're doing is curing cancer or something like that, and it's not. It's fun and we have a great time doing it and we should enjoy it. With the Kevins, we immediately got along, and the same with Jess McNamee. The four of us were like the four musketeers. We have a great time. We hang out off set all the time. We have dinner. Yeah, they're really great guys, and same with Jess.
We shot the pilot in 2012, and then we shot the season in 2013, and now, we're airing in 2014. So, I've known them for almost two years. That's very helpful. Other times on a show, you'll meet the cast, and then a week later you're shooting, and then a month later you're airing. Then, some months after that the numbers aren't good, so everybody's kind of removing themselves from the situation. We were allowed to sit out in Chicago and shoot this whole series within two months. We weren't airing while we were shooting. We were kind of in a little bubble out there. It was kind of like being at camp.
TVRage: That's great that you had time to bond and get to know one another.
Mosley: Yeah, we got to know what the show was. As the show progresses -- the episodes now are when we all kind of started looking at each other on set and we started to get a handle of what the show was and what the show was naturally becoming. So, I'm really excited about these next few episodes.
TVRage: Now, you're character is also in love with Theresa. So, what can fans expect between Theresa and Johnny in upcoming episodes?
Mosley: The nature of this thing is boy-gets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-gets-girl-back. That's how these things kind of go, but you'll just have to wait and see. I don't want to spoil anything. I think he would do anything for her -- anything in the world -- because he loves her to death. He would do anything for her, except for moving in with her. That's the one pill he can't swallow. I think he's still deathly afraid of commitment.
TVRage: Let's switch gears and talk about your role on 'Castle,' where you play Jerry Tyson aka 3XK (The Triple Killer). What's it like being known for playing a killer?
Mosley: I love that show. I love working on that show. I love everybody on that thing. You know what's crazy? Fans of that show are rabid. I only did two episodes of that show, but people love the character and the storyline. It's amazing. It's amazing to play the bad guy. Playing the bad guy is so much fun. You get to find the good in the bad guy. Well, not the good, but part of the bad guy that the bad guy likes. He doesn't think he's bad. He thinks what he's doing is justified. So, to find those things in him that are good. Does that make sense?
TVRage: I understand what you're saying.
Mosley: Yeah, I don't know if I'm articulating it very well, but it's been awhile and people love that show. People love that character. So, that's been fun to be a part of.
TVRage: Like you said, you've only been in two episode. Sometimes you're not even in an episode, but your character is just mentioned and it sets the tone for the entire episode. What's it like to play a role that has that kind of presence?
Mosley: I know! I don't know. It's crazy. I just want them to call me back. Not that I'm calling them. (laughs) It's like, I'm like, 'Hey, guys, I'm over here! I'm not shooting right now. Can I come?' No, they don't call me back, but I do want them to call back and invite me back to do more stuff. It's so much fun and I want to chase Castle [Nathan Fillion] down into the woods or something. I feel like they have to put Tyson out, because he hasn't really been killed yet. They don't think he's been killed yet.
TVRage: It's very open-ended. I can only imagine you'll come back sooner rather than later. I think fans would enjoy that as well.
Mosley: I hope so. I hope it's not just another dead body in the dumpster. And, they're like, 'Oh, that's Tyson. Someone got him before we did.' It's been awhile since they've been able to crack that character and that storyline. And like you said, they just mention the guy's name and it just changes the whole kind of ego to the show. It's been a cool ride.
In addition to 'Sirens' and 'Castle,' Mosley will soon be appearing -- again -- on A&E's 'Longmire,' where he plays Katee Sackhoff's husband.
You can catch a new episode of 'Sirens' tonight at 10:04/9:04c on USA.

Justia Dockets & Filings Second Circuit New York Northern District UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. Gulyas Filing 8
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. Gulyas
DECISION AND ORDERED, that the Governments Motion for Default Judgment (Dkt. No. 7) is GRANTED; and it is further ORDERED, that the Government is entitled to judgment as follows: $41,101.25 in unpaid principal and $629.30 in accrued interest, for a total award of $41,730.55, plus post-judgment interest pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961. Signed by Senior Judge Lawrence E. Kahn on March 28, 2017. (sas)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, -against- 1:16-CV-0726 (LEK/DJS) JOSEPH GULYAS, Defendant. DECISION AND ORDER I. INTRODUCTION On June 20, 2016, plaintiff United States of America commenced this action alleging that defendant Joseph Gulyas defaulted on three promissory notes. Dkt. No. 1 ("Complaint"). Presently before the Court is the Government's motion for default judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b). Dkt. No. 7 ("Motion"). For the following reasons, the Motion is granted. II. BACKGROUND On January 10, 1985, Gulyas executed a promissory note to secure a loan in the amount of $10,004 from BayBank Norfolk County Trust Company, located in Dedham, Massachusetts. Dkt. No. 7-5 ("Exhibit A") at 2;1 Dkt. No. 7-6 ("Certificate of Indebtedness") at 1. On November 11, 1985, Gulyas executed a second promissory note to secure a loan in the amount of $10,033 from the same trust company. Ex. A at 7; Certificate of Indebtedness at 1. On June 10, 1986, Gulyas executed a final promissory note in the amount of $10,417 from BayBank. Ex. A, at 12; 1 Citations to the Exhibits correspond with the pagination assigned by the Court's electronic filing system ("ECF"). Certificate of Indebtedness at 1. The loans were Health Education Assistance Loans ("HEALs"). Certificate of Indebtedness at 1. Eventually, the HEAL notes were assigned to the Government. Id. at 2. Gulyas defaulted on the loans, and the Government commenced the present action. Compl. Gulyas did not file a responsive pleading, and on August 4, 2016, the Clerk of the Court filed an entry of default against Gulyas at the Government's request. Dkt. No. 6 ("Entry of Default"). On August 12, 2016, the Government filed the pending Motion, seeking an award of $41,101.25 in unpaid principal and $629.30 in accrued interest as of December 16, 2015. Certificate of Indebtedness at 2. III. LEGAL STANDARD "Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55 provides a two-step process that the Court must follow before it may enter a default judgment against a defendant." Elec. Creations Corp. v. Gigahertz, Inc., No. 12-CV-1423, 2013 WL 3229125, at *3 (N.D.N.Y. June 25, 2013) (quoting Robertson v. Doe, No. 05-CV-7046, 2008 WL 2519894, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. June 19, 2008)). "First, under Rule 55(a), when a party fails to plead or otherwise defend . . . the clerk must enter the party's default." Id. Second, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b)(2), "the party seeking default judgment is required to present its application for entry of judgment to the court." Id. "When a default is entered, the defendant is deemed to have admitted all of the wellpleaded factual allegations in the complaint pertaining to liability." Bravado Int'l Grp. Merch. Servs., Inc. v. Ninna, Inc., 655 F. Supp. 2d 177, 188 (E.D.N.Y. 2009) (citing Greyhound Exhibitgroup, Inc. v. E.L. U.L. Realty Corp., 973 F.2d 155, 158 (2d Cir. 1992)). "While a default judgment constitutes an admission of liability, the quantum of damages remains to be established by proof unless the amount is liquidated or susceptible of mathematical computation." Flaks v. 2 Koegel, 504 F.2d 702, 707 (2d Cir. 1974); accord Bravado Int'l, 655 F. Supp. 2d at 189. "[E]ven upon default, a court may not rubber-stamp the non-defaulting party's damages calculation, but rather must ensure that there is a basis for the damages that are sought." Robertson, 2008 WL 2519894, at *3. "The burden is on the plaintiff to establish its entitlement to recovery." Bravado Int'l, 655 F. Supp. 2d at 189. "While 'the court must ensure that there is a basis for the damages specified in a default judgment, it may, but need not, make the determination through a hearing.'" Id. at 190. Under Local Rule 55.2(b), the moving party must submit with its motion for default judgment: (1) "a clerk's certificate of entry of default," (2) "a proposed form of default judgment," (3) "a copy of the pleading to which no response has been made," and (4) an affidavit. L.R. 55.2(b). The affidavit must set forth that: (1) the party against whom judgment is sought is not an infant, incompetent, or in military service; (2) the party against whom judgment is sought has defaulted in appearance in the action; (3) service was properly effected under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4; (4) the amount sought is justly due and owing, and no part has been paid; and (5) "the disbursements sought to be taxed have been made in the action or will necessarily be made or incurred." L.R. 55.2(a). IV. DISCUSSION In the present case, the Government has met its burden of showing that it is entitled to a default judgment. The Complaint and the exhibits attached to the Motion demonstrate that Gulyas executed three promissory notes to obtain student loans. Compl; Ex. A at 2–16. The Government has demanded payment in accordance with the terms of the notes, and to date, Gulyas has failed to pay the debt. Compl. ¶ 4. These allegations, which are deemed admitted by 3 Gulyas's failure to respond, are sufficient to establish his liability. Cotton v. Slone, 4 F.3d 176, 181 (2d Cir. 1993). Further, the Government has complied with Local Rule 55.2(b). Finally, the materials the Government has provided "are sufficient to establish damages on the promissory notes because the principal owed on the notes and the interest are susceptible to mathematical computation." United States v. Williams, No. 12-CV-124, 2012 WL 1977969, at *1 (N.D.N.Y. June 1, 2012). V. CONCLUSION Accordingly, it is hereby: ORDERED, that the Government's Motion for Default Judgment (Dkt. No. 7) is GRANTED; and it is further ORDERED, that the Government is entitled to judgment as follows: $41,101.25 in unpaid principal and $629.30 in accrued interest, for a total award of $41,730.55, plus post-judgment interest pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961; and it is further ORDERED, that the Clerk of the Court serve a copy of this Decision and Order on all parties in accordance with the Local Rules. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: March 28, 2017 Albany, New York 4

Fairgoers likely to cool off today
The Pueblo Chieftain
[Attendance Monday: 38,872
Total: 658,676]
Chieftain photo by Bryan Kelsen

Sean McMahon, 9, of Durango beats the heat by putting his head in the fountain outside the Palace of Agriculture at the Colorado State Fair.
Cooler weather and cloudy skies are expected to greet Colorado State Fair visitors today. But even the prospect of bad weather isn't dimming the enthusiasm of fair manager Jerry Robbe.
"We're just coasting along now," Robbe said.
Fair attendance through Monday was 14.7 percent ahead of last year's record pace, at 658,676. Monday's attendance of 38,872, though modest by this year's standards, was enough to put the fair even further ahead of last year's pace.
Last year, 574,290 people had come through the fair turnstiles in the first 10 days.
It's enough to get Robbe talking about setting another record by the time the fair closes Monday night.
"We need a good weekend, but I'd be lying to you if I didn't think we had a good shot at it," Robbe said of last year's attendance mark of 1,082,018 for the 17-day fair.
Robbe credits a good talent lineup this year, and overall good weather, with helping swell attendance.
"Hopefully, we're giving a better product every year," Robbe said.
Today's weather forecast, though calling for the less-than-ideal conditions fair visitors have become used to the past 10 days, is also probably not bad enough to keep people away.
Instead of boiling in mid-day heat, fairgoers will enjoy a taste of autumn. The National Weather Service predicts an afternoon high in the 70s, with evening temperatures dipping into the 50s. There's a 60 percent chance of afternoon showers and thundershowers.
The long-range forecast will even be more pleasing to fair officials.
Temperatures on Thursday are expected to recover to near 80 degrees, with weekend highs reaching 90 degrees and higher, said Norban Larson, a meteorologist with the Pueblo office of the Na tional Weather Service.
The big event at the fair today is the junior livestock sale, a 32-year tradition. The junior livestock sale is a showcase where the "best of the best" Colorado 4-H and Future Farmers of America raised animals enter the sale ring for fast-paced bidding.
The top 105 beef, hogs and lambs that have been shown in market livestock shows at the state fair are to be auctioned off. The sale time will be 6 p.m. at the VIP Tent in Recreational Park. The sale is open by invitation.
There also will be a rodeo at 7:30 p.m. in the Coors Grandstand, along with plenty of free entertainment. Denise Hood is to appear at Family Park, while Timberline Rose will be at the Pepsi Tent and Patrick Preston Roller will be at the Miller Amphitheatre at 6 p.m.
At 7 p.m. Tracy Byrd will be at Miller Amphitheatre, the Cactus Brothers at the Pepsi Tent and Okolitza Tamburitzans at Family Park.
At 8 p.m., the Jump Club will be at the Bud Club, while C.W. Dancin' Eagles will perform at Family Park. At 8:30 p.m., Patrick Preston Roller will perform again at the Miller Amphitheatre and Timberline Rose will return to the Pepsi Tent.
The evening's entertainment will wrap up with a 10 p.m. performance by Tracy Byrd at the Miller Amphitheatre, a 10 p.m. show by Cactus Brothers at the Pepsi Tent and an 11 p.m. performance by Timberline Rose at the Pepsi Tent.
For flower enthusiasts, judging is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the Antique Rose Flower Shoppe's harvest arrangement contest in the Creative Arts Building.
Despite the success of this year's fair, Robbe said Tuesday he's looking toward making next year's better.
With the new events center available next year, the location of some attractions will be changed to improve traffic flow around the fairgrounds, Robbe said. He also plans to look at what might be done to prevent the overloading of fair activities on weekends.

The USTA Texas Section Senior Women's 3.5 team.
The "Happy Feet" Shirt worn by the Texas women's team.
Close up detail of the "Happy Feet" Shirt worn by the Texas women's team.
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – In the 12 years that Dallas resident Edna Ground has been captain of the USTA Texas Section Senior Women's 3.5 team, she has told her teammates to have "Happy Feet" as a way to motivate them to keep moving on the tennis court.
That advice finally paid off this year as her senior women's 3.5 team advanced to the USTA Senior 3.5 League National Championships for the very first time.
When asked about the "Happy Feet," Ground, a Dallas resident who is still active in a family business, said, "That's been my motto for 12 years to get the girls to move their feet on the court. I sign all of my emails, 'Happy Feet – Keep Moving.'"
Taking her "Happy Feet" motto to heart, Ground had each member of her team wear a jeweled pin in the shape of two feet when they played in the USTA/Texas Senior Ladies 3.5 Section Championship last month in Tyler, Texas.
When the team, which represents the Brookhaven Country Club in Dallas, arrived in Indian Wells for the Nationals, they came dressed to impress. They wore a specially designed shirt to the Official Player Party held on Thursday night at the Miramonte Resort & Spa.
The teal-colored shirt read "Dallas area Champions 2011" and had a circular logo, which were pairs of feet. Each team member also wore their "Happy Feet" jeweled pin.
"We came up with the idea and our shirts were designed by one of the girls on the team," Ground said. After the design was completed, a team member's son made the shirts.
While her "Happy Feet" motto helped the team to keep moving on the court, Ground said they also had a little luck in getting to the Nationals for the first time.
"When we went to Sectionals, they told us there was luck involved and there was," Ground said as she explained that her team received a good draw at the Texas Sectional Tournament. "I think it was probably just the draw that we were in. Maybe we were able to play those players stronger than in other draws," she added.
In her 12 years as team captain, Ground had led her team to the Sectionals on several occasions, but always fell short of reaching the Nationals. "We tried hard every year and we didn't make it, so it was an honor to make it to Sectionals and it' really a big honor to make it all the way to Nationals," Ground said.
"It feels good to be here finally. We were on two different flights, but everybody all got here," Ground said after arriving in Indian Wells. "We practiced (Thursday) afternoon and we're ready."
The Texas Section Senior Women's 3.5 team is playing in Flight 3 at this weekend's League Nationals. They will compete with Hawaii, Southern and Intermountain Sectional teams for a spot in Sunday's semifinals.

Digital Geneva Convention: multilateral treaty, multistakeholder implementation
Jovan Kurbalija 23 Feb, 2017 1 Comment Internet Governance
Just as the world's governments came together in 1949 to adopt the Fourth Geneva Convention to protect civilians in times of war, we need a Digital Geneva Convention that will commit governments to implement the norms that have been developed to protect civilians on the internet in times of peace.
Brad Smith, President and Chief Legal Officer, Microsoft
Microsoft's call for a Digital Geneva Convention, outlined in Smith's blog post last week, has attracted the attention of the digital policy community. Only two years ago, it would have been unthinkable for an Internet company to invite governments to adopt a digital convention.
Microsoft has crossed this Rubicon in global digital politics by proposing a Digital Geneva Convention which should 'commit governments to avoiding cyber-attacks that target the private sector or critical infrastructure or the use of hacking to steal intellectual property'. Smith's blog post initiates public discussion with many questions to be addressed. Here we will focus on a few of them.
The unthinkable has become almost inevitable
In the search for a more secure and stable Internet, global Internet companies need to work with governments. Any major fragmentation and disruption of the Internet would affect the core business model of Internet companies, based on global access to data. Governments are gaining more cyber-power to potentially disrupt the cross-border movement of data for different political ends ranging from security to censorship and taxation. If companies do not engage with governments and work together on reasonable policy arrangements, Internet companies could face major risks. More importantly, this would, in turn, also disrupt the now-global social and economic models based on a digital environment.
An element of surprise?
Microsoft has been particularly sensitive to the Internet as global public good.
In what can be described as a bold attempt to ensure observance of international law, Microsoft successfully opposed requests from US authorities to use the search warrant mechanism to access data stored on the company's servers in Ireland. The Appeals Court's ruling – which now stands, after the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied a rehearing of the case – has had an enormous impact on the protection of data and the international operations of the major Internet companies.
Moreover, through its Global Security Strategy and Diplomacy Team, Microsoft is among the few ICT companies that have embraced diplomacy as an approach to shape global public policies After following closely the diplomatic dialogue shaping norms of state behaviour in cyberspace and confidence-building measures (CBMs), especially within the UN Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), Microsoft proposed a set of cyber-norms for states in 2015, which was further updated with the proposal of cyber-norms for the ICT industry in 2016.
The company's proposal, therefore, did not come as a surprise. In this context, the proposal can be seen as the evolution of Microsoft's diplomatic efforts in the field of international security and cyberspace.
What is the main aim of the Geneva Digital Convention?
The Geneva Digital Convention should create binding rules out of the voluntary norms on secure cyberspace developed by the UN GGE and regional organisations. A few additional norms could be added. Embedded within a convention, this set of norms could become a legal obligation, with the corresponding enforcement mechanisms. According to Microsoft's proposal, the convention should motivate states to adhere to the agreed norms.
What should the proposed Geneva Digital Convention regulate?
Source: Microsoft
The six principles listed are typically based in national security, related to both defensive and offensive cyber-operations. They are a mix of policy and legal regimes. Principle 1 could be classified as the ius ad bellum principle, dealing with justification and prevention of conflicts; principles 3,4, and 5 have a strong cyber-disarmament focus; principles 2 and 6 are applicable both in conflict and peacetime operations.
Policy issues related to the six principles are part of the mandate of the UN security bodies. The most active is the UN General Assembly's First Committee, which is also the home of the UN GGE. Other UN bodies that may get involved in cyber security matters are the UN Conference on Disarmament and the UN Security Council.
Moving from the six principles, further in the text Microsoft's arguments shift towards protecting citizens in the case of conflict – which in legal terms is known as ius in bello – or even broadly speaking towards what we might call human cybersecurity:
Just as the Fourth Geneva Convention has long protected civilians in times of war, we now need a Digital Geneva Convention that will commit governments to protecting civilians from nation-state attacks in times of peace.
Human security is anchored in the protection of human wellbeing. It encompasses economic, food, health, and environmental aspects, among others. Since human wellbeing increasingly depends on digital space, the question of human cybersecurity is likely to come more into focus.
If Microsoft's proposal aims to focus on human cybersecurity (focus on the protection of individual users), this will inevitably bring developmental aspects into discussion – ensuring the availability of tools and means for people to achieve cyber wellbeing (access to the Internet, development of local content, etc.), as well as human rights issues, including a potential right to safe access to the Internet (analogous to developments in other human security areas that inspired rights to water, food, etc).
While governments may become the main sources of threat with their increasing cyber capabilities, they should be also the main enablers of a safe Internet, which is considered a global public good. This can be achieved only with co-operation and shared responsibility between government and the private sector, with the Internet industry as the key Internet player. More than 90% of Internet traffic and activities are conducted by private sector. Currently, most of the threats to civilians online comes from cyber-criminals exploiting the vulnerabilities of Internet applications.
As a practical example of public-private co-operation, Microsoft's proposed principle No. 3 on responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities would increase the overall resilience of products and cyberspace, reduce cyber-armament by states, and limit the proliferation of state-built cyber-arms available to criminals.
How could a Geneva Digital Convention be implemented?
Smith introduced ideas aimed to serve as a potential inspiration for a multistakeholder implementation of the Convention. The involvement of other actors, beyond governments, in the implementation of the Convention makes a lot of sense. While governments should ensure rule-based digital governance, shared responsibility should involve the private sector that runs most of the Internet and the technical community that sets most of technical standards. Here are a few building blocks from Smith's blog post, with a few comments.
In addition, a Digital Geneva Convention needs to create an independent organization that spans the public and private sectors. Specifically, the world needs an independent organization that can investigate and share publicly the evidence that attributes nation-state attacks to specific countries.
An independent organisation should be public-private partnership that can deal with attribution – the main challenge in addressing cyber-attacks. Potential inspiration can be found in the Montreux process for private military and security companies which consists of:
the Montreux Document (2008), signed so far by 54 states, which contains the main principles.
the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Providers (ICoC) – aimed at providing multistakeholder governance and international governance for private military and security companies.
the ICoC Association, an organisational set-up, which certifies and monitors member companies and handles complaints of alleged violations of the code of conduct.
Smith also mentions the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in nuclear non-proliferation as a possible inspiration for the future cybersecurity organisation. In this analogy between nuclear and cyber he stresses two elements: the centrality of technical expertise and public shaming for the violation of rules ('Only then will nation-states know that if they violate the rules, the world will learn about it.')
A question of technical expertise needed for attribution will be at the centre of future discussions on the Microsoft proposal and, indeed, other proposals. Microsoft suggests that international capacity for digital forensic should be built on expertise and experience that the Internet industry has already developed in dealing with cyber-attacks against their clients. While this could be the key input, digital forensic for international cyber conflicts would need additional robustness since attribution to cyber-conflicts could lead to the name-shaming of states with severe geopolitical consequences.
Smith also suggests the Red Cross as an inspiration for the future cyber arrangement. The main analogy is to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the pillar organisation of the Red Cross movement and implementer of the Geneva Conventions. The ICRC is a private organisation under Swiss law with a public mandate provided by the Geneva Conventions.
Other parts of the Red Cross movement could also provide some inspiration, such as national organisations that have an auxiliary role to governments. They are not part of government structures, but they are legally recognised by governments as public actors in the humanitarian field. The role of CERTs (Computer Emergency Response Teams) could be upgraded in this direction. They may not be part of government but their role could be recognised as a public role in protecting civilians and entities in the event of a cyber-attack.
Achieving neutrality in cyber arrangements
Neutrality is frequently mentioned in the Microsoft proposal. Neutrality (or the lack of it) can make or break any future cyber arrangement. Microsoft links the proposal to Geneva ('Geneva Digital Convention') and Swiss neutrality ('neutral Digital Switzerland'). As Geneva and Switzerland are sought for the establishment of good offices and as a mediator in times of traditional conflict, it may extend this role to cyber conflict and crisis. The centrality of Geneva – as an important hub for digital policy, among other policy areas – also comes into focus in the Microsoft proposal.
The future cyber governance architecture will be discussed in many contexts during 2017. The UN GGE will have to propose next steps after the conclusion of its mandate this year. The 12th Internet Governance Forum (IGF), which will be held in Geneva in December 2017, could be also a place where security, economic, technical, and other communities can converge to address Internet issues in a multidisciplinary way, without the pressure of reaching a binding commitment at the end of the meeting.
Microsoft's proposal for the Geneva Digital Convention provides inspiring analogies and initiates discussion on the future of digital governance, in particular in the security field. While there are major differences among stakeholders, there is also considerable convergence and many common interests. Major actors from government and the business sector stand to lose in the absence of a unified and stable Internet. This common interest provides some optimism for the future discussions and negotiations on digital governance.

Stephanie Borg ... February 24, 2017
Excellent analysis of Microsoft's proposal, which sheds light on the building blocks of a possible convention, and how it could be implemented. Indeed this proposal does not come as a surprise: the industry's potential role in solving the social costs of fast digital developments was predicted in the start-of-the-year forecast (Dr Jovan Kurbalija - 'Digital politics in 2017: Unsettled weather, stormy at times, with sunny spells' at www.diplomacy.edu/2017predictions). Similarly, cybersecurity within the premier league of global politics, calls for security standards, and the impetus of a digital realpolitik towards new arrangements, were also predicted. The proposal is likely to be at the centre of discussions this year; processes such as the Montreaux process will be interesting to analyse further.

Q: Why hawtio/OSGi/Jboss Fuse doesn't recognize camel routes? I've tried to publish https://code.google.com/archive/p/apache-camel-mashup/downloads app to my JBoss Fuse using Red Hat JBoss Development Studio but Camel routes are not determined.
I see that it must work because camel context is defined in META-INF/Spring and pom.xml seems to be ok.
Could you tell me what should I do to force the app to work properly? The status of the app is "Active" but I can't see THE routes in hawtio or via camel-routes or in JMX.

Samsung Galaxy S7 With Snapdragon 820 To Target US And China
9:17 am October 2, 2015 By Roland Hutchinson
There has been evidence that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will come with two different processor options, a Samsung Exynos 8990 and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor.
According to a recent report, Samsung will be targeting the US and China with their new Samsung Galaxy S7 handset with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820.
Samsung will apparently launch the Exynos powered version of the Galaxy S7 in Europe, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
The last thing we heard about the handset is that Samsung may launch the device in February, we had previously expected it to launch in March.
There will be two versions of the new Samsung Galaxy S7, one with a flat display, the Galaxy S7 and one with a curved display, the Galaxy S7 Edge, Samsung may also launch a larger S7 Edge+ later in the year.
We can also expect the cameras on Samsung's new flagship smartphone to get an update, we could possibly see an 8 megapixel camera on the front and a 20 megapixel camera on the back. The handset is expected to launch with the latest version of Google's mobile OS, Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
As soon as we get some more details about Samsung's new flagship smartphone range, including some pictures of the device and a full list of specifications, we will let you guys know.

Described by Ralph McTell as "one of England's best voices", Bob Fox makes his first recording for Topic, and we're delighted for him to be here. He is one of the hardest working performers in the country, playing more dates than almost anyone else.

His exceptional voice and inspired guitar have a lightness of touch and a sureness of purpose that go straight to the heart of the song, be it traditional or contemporary.


Andreas Liris, CIO of Maple Leaf Foods and Glenn Sawyer, director of digital supply chain at SAP.
Andrea Lirius, left, and Glenn Sawyer, right.
It's no secret that global food production is heading towards a crisis. The system is unsustainable, and things will only get worse unless we figure out a way to feed what will be nine billion people on Earth by 2050.
This is not a time for food producers to pretend all is well. On the contrary, they must set ambitious and determined goals to do better. Maple Leaf Foods has set the goal of becoming the most sustainable protein company on earth. The company aims to reduce its footprint in water and natural gas by 50 per cent by 2025, while finding ways to create a food system that can help to feed all those new mouths.
Only with intelligent and aggressive use of technology can this be achieved. Precision agriculture is showing great promise in reducing the environmental footprint while increasing production, and advances like high-tech lighting and alternative energy-powered battery storage are helping to make greenhouse production more efficient. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensor technology, and the Internet of Things are showing huge potential and will surely provide some of the solutions that make up the sustainable ecosystem.
Alongside these advances, one of the most exciting developments is the integration of traditionally consumer-based technologies with B2B software. A recent project at Maple Leaf Foods serves as a good example: the company kitted out its production supervisors in 10 factories across Canada with iPads loaded with an app that digitizes and mobilizes dozens of previously paper and office-based tasks.
The goal was simple: find a way for production supervisors to do on the shop floor everything they do in their offices, including keeping track of materials and inventory, making process orders, scanning labels, and staying in touch with others.
The act of moving between the floor and office was an inefficient process for production supervisors, and they had to decontaminate every time they entered the production area. Furthermore, if they, for example, found a problem with a piece of equipment, the process of logging it involved e-mailing a picture and entering data into clunky forms. It all felt very early 2000s.
With the new app, things like this can be done quickly and efficiently by just pressing a few buttons, as can barcode scanning, transactions, and dozens of other tasks. Production supervisors now spend 50 per cent less time in the office, which has helped the company improve overall efficiency by 20 per cent. Not a bad result from a few iPads and an app.
It's now clear that every business-process-creating chief information officer must take Apple and its devices seriously. Since the company began partnering with business software makers such as SAP to support the development of enterprise apps, the opportunities to create elegant solutions that improve efficiency have become too powerful to ignore.
Many companies are reaching the point where they're no longer solving IT issues. They have the plumbing in place – a cloud platform and a consolidated database of information – and can begin turning their attention to finding new efficiencies from emerging technologies.
The sheer number of opportunities to use technology in enterprise today is dizzying, and technology is changing so quickly that keeping on top of it is a major challenge. This is where technology partners come in. Don't underestimate their ability to understand your business, your customers, and the challenges in your industry. In today's digital world, they should be your closest allies.
