Magic Johnson: 20th Anniversary of HIV Announcement
Nsenga Burton
PublishedNovember 7, 2011
Today marks the 20th anniversary of an announcement that rocked the sports community: the announcement that legendary basketball player Earvin "Magic" Johnson was retiring, having contracted HIV. Relatively little was known about the virus at the time — so much so that Johnson had to be reminded that he had HIV, not full-blown AIDS, before making the announcement.
On Nov. 7, 1991, the world stopped for a moment as it learned that the man with the magic touch and infectious smile was now facing what was believed at the time to be a certain death.
The announcement came just after Johnson had married his longtime girlfriend, Earleatha "Cookie" Kelly, in September of that same year. After a routine physical examination, the seemingly invincible point guard tested positive for HIV.
Instead of watching a powerful man known for his physical prowess on the basketball court wither away and die, we have seen Johnson defy the odds, battle his diagnosis and become a symbol for living with HIV. Although he has been able to fight the disease off the court, it was harder for him to fight prejudices associated with it on the court.
In 1992 Johnson attempted a comeback in the NBA. Johnson, who was seen as someone impossible to guard but whom top-tier players wanted to challenge, was met with blatant discrimination. When he moved into the paint for a shot, players would part like the Red Sea, getting out of the way, not because they had been beaten, but because they feared contact with Johnson.
Many players expressed fear and concern about playing with him on the court, and the comeback was short-lived. Despite the mistreatment by some fellow players, Johnson was named to the NBA All-Star team that year, becoming the game's MVP.
Undeterred, Johnson channeled his energy into creating campaigns to promote HIV awareness and prevention, establishing the Magic Johnson Foundation. He also briefly served on President George H.W. Bush's National AIDS Commission but resigned because of what he perceived to be the commission's lack of commitment to solving the AIDS crisis.
In addition to promoting AIDS awareness and prevention through his foundation, Johnson has become an iconic businessman, opening Starbucks, T.G.I. Fridays and movie theaters in black neighborhoods throughout the country. He and his wife, Cookie, have been married for 20 years and have two children, one of whom is adopted.
Magic Johnson's announcement 20 years ago helped usher in an era of educating people about HIV awareness and prevention. His diagnosis helped challenge stereotypes about who could acquire the disease and how one could get it. Johnson's commitment to healthy living and fighting the disease serves as a shining example that an HIV diagnosis does not have to be a death sentence. Some would say that is a far greater achievement than anything he accomplished on the basketball court. Magic Johnson is clearly winning at the game of life.

Q: Create index with mongodb C Driver I can create index in mongodb via mongodb shell
i.e. db['test'].ensureIndex( { fieldname:1 } )
But how to create the same index with mongo-c-driver?
    Who could point me out? thanks a lot!

A: If you have a set of documents with keys as name and age
You can create indices like this:
static void tutorial_index( mongo_connection *conn ) {
  bson key[1];

  bson_init( key );
  bson_append_int( key, "name", 1 );
  bson_finish( key );

  mongo_create_index( conn, "tutorial.persons", key, 0, NULL );

  bson_destroy( key );

  printf( "simple index created on \"name\"\n" );

  bson_init( key );
  bson_append_int( key, "age", 1 );
  bson_append_int( key, "name", 1 );
  bson_finish( key );

  mongo_create_index( conn, "tutorial.persons", key, 0, NULL );

  bson_destroy( key );

  printf( "compound index created on \"age\", \"name\"\n" );
}

Q: How do I perform Bayesian Updating for a function of multiple parameters, each with its own distribution? I have a variable that is a recursive function involving other variables with known distributions (see problem below).

*

*Let $b(t+1) = b(t) + C \sqrt{b(t)}$ where I know $C \sim N(1.82, .0298)$ and the initial value of $b$ [$b_{initial} \sim N(.02,0.0036)$].

My observation for updating is a discrete value of $b$ for a certain '$t$' (say $b(1500) = 0.005$) but I need to find posterior distributions for $C$ and $b_{initial}$.
Any thoughts or resources that can be directed my way would be extremely helpful.
Thanks

A: Probabilistically, the right way to do this is a posterior joint distribution for C and binitial--if you know b(t) exactly, then you'll get a line of sorts, where if binitial is .022 that implies that C was 1.81, but it binitial was instead .023 then that implies that C was 1.76. Each of those points has a probability associated with it from the prior, and the update just consists of renormalization from the entire 2D space to that line.
If you know b(t) inexactly, then you instead need to calculate the probability of that b(t) measurement for everywhere in the distribution, multiply those, and then renormalize. (That is, you're updating with a continuous likelihood, instead of the 0 or 1 likelihood implied by an exact measurement.)
For your particular function, it doesn't look like it'll be computationally easy to work with, although it probably is smooth (in the sense that the derivatives with respect to C and binitial are well-behaved). Seeing if you can come up with something where you can shift C by $\Delta$C and get the corresponding $\Delta$binitial shift (or the reverse) looks like it'll be very useful.

Return of Rohingya people 'not working'
by Adam Becket
Repatriation must be safe to relieve pressure on Bangladesh, says agency
Rohingya build shelters in camp 15, one of two run by Christian Aid in Bangladesh
THE settlement of the Rohingya people in Bangladesh is the "fastest-growing humanitarian crisis globally", Christian Aid's country manager for Bangladesh, Shakeb Nabi, has said.
"No one was prepared for this kind of crisis," Mr Nabi said on Monday; the Rohingya were "forced to settle in an unprepared area".
Christian Aid runs two camps for Rohingya refugees from Myanmar: camps 14 and 15, which contain 85,000 people.
More than 700,000 Rohingya have crossed the border from Rakhine state to Bangladesh since August 2017, fleeing a violent crackdown by the military and Buddhist mobs, during which their villages were razed to the ground, women were raped, and thousands were killed (News, 8 September 2017). The UN has described the violence against them as "ethnic cleansing".
Mr Nabi said: "Christian Aid welcomes Myanmar's commitment to the voluntary return of the refugees, but we call on the government to give them the right conditions to return, according to Kofi Annan's plan.
"So far, the repatriatiation has not been successful, and the Rohingya people need to go and see where they will be living to make sure it is correct. Bangladesh has deep solidarity with the people of Myanmar, but the Rohingya need to be given a safe, dignified, and voluntary repatriation."
Earlier this month, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, warned that any repatriation should be only on the basis of a "free and informed decision by refugees, on an individual basis" (News, 16 November).
He said: "The responsibility to improve those conditions rests with Myanmar. Although UNHCR does not believe current conditions in Rakhine state are conducive to the voluntary, safe, dignified, and sustainable return of refugees from Bangladesh, we remain committed to supporting the government of Myanmar's efforts to create such conditions."
Mr Nabi continued: "The Bangladesh government has said it will not happen until these conditions are met. Bangladesh has a high population density, and there is a huge strain on resources at the moment because of the large refugee population.
"There has been a lot of dialogue between Bangladesh and Myanmar — they are both on the same page in terms of what needs to happen, and we see commitment on both sides."
The humanitarian crisis has been worsened by the stretched resources: Mr Nabi said that "there is a huge pressure on reservoirs, on the labour market, and on food supplies" in the region. Christian Aid, he said, was "trying to fulfil the needs and aspirations of the host community".
He continued: "Christian Aid has been passionate about localisation, and we work with five local partners in Bangladesh. We are trying to make sure that local communities are helped by local partners. The money required for the Joint Response Plan is only 40-per-cent funded; so the international community really needs to be more forthcoming."

Good governance requires dynamic planning that constantly considers key economic factors and a good working knowledge of their application. As economies are ever changing due to local, regional and global conditions, good fiscal and economic governance requires reaction and adaptation to maintain economic control. Without good fiscal and economic knowledge, policy and practices as well as the ability to monitor and react and or adapt quickly, a nation's economy will suffer, as will the opportunity available to its people. If left unchecked or uncorrected the likely symptoms are increased crime, higher unemployment, lower wage growth, lower consumer confidence, poor business confidence, less foreign direct investment, lower productivity and poor morale to name but a few.

Cloud computing's current woe: Analysis paralysis
A recent study from application integration/app hosting company Hubspan added to the pile of research showing that a significant percentage of corporate IT people are "confused" about both cloud computing technology and its potential benefits.
Kevin Fogarty (CIO (US))
More than 60 percent of the companies in the Hubspan study said cloud computing was a strategic direction. Thirty-six percent had at least one SaaS or cloud-based application and an additional 25 percent planned to move a business application to the cloud. Only 13 percent had no plans to add a cloud or SaaS-based project.
The top reason 39 percent had not yet moved into cloud computing? They were unclear on the potential benefits of cloud computing.
"You have to ask how they can say that," says Bernard Golden, CEO of consultancy Hyperstratus and a CIO.com blogger. "Do these people work in the technology world? Have they been living under a rock?"
[Is it really just SMBs running apps in Amazon's public cloud? No way, says CIO.com's Bernard Golden. See The Truth About What Runs on Amazon. ]
The amount of information -- and hype -- about cloud computing has been so intense in the IT industry for the last couple of years that it seems almost impossible for someone in the industry to not understand the basic concept and benefits of cloud computing.
"What they may mean is they don't understand how cloud computing may apply to them, to their company particularly," Golden says.
There has been a lot of confusion about what a cloud actually is, let alone what benefits it could bring, according to Sean Hackett, research director for The 451 Group.
For example, a July 6 Forrester Research study found many companies "suffering from cloud confusion" caused by the number of dissimilar products assigned the name "cloud" as a marketing effort.
Cloud Pilot Projects Don't Answer All Questions
For the most part, though, CIOs and senior-level IT executives who say they're 'confused' about the benefits of cloud computing may already have run at least one cloud project, Hackett says.
"They've got everyone saying 'you have to try this,' the board wanting them to test it, the CEO wanting them to get into it, so most have picked some low-hanging fruit, leveraging cloud capacity for a one-off marketing event, or for some DR or test purposes," Hackett says. "Later on, if they're thinking about doing a larger project, or putting something mission-critical in the cloud, they're going to be a lot more careful about knowing for sure that there's a long-term financial benefit and how it will work with their infrastructure."
But for those who haven't even run a pilot project, Golden says, the amount of hype and pressure to try a new technology could be paralyzing.
"Everyone says they're doing it, and you hear the benefits, there are some people who will just shrug and say they have to go do the backups," Golden says. "If you really don't know about cloud, you'll have to eventually to answer other people's questions, and the way we recommend for people to get their level of information is to run a pilot project with a specific plan in mind to answer the questions you need answered."
There is no source of information that can comprehensively answer whether cloud computing will be a financial benefit for a specific company or not. So, at some point, even IT executives at companies that don't adopt new technology easily have to roll up their sleeves and figure out how a new technology does or doesn't match their requirements, Golden says.
"We're going from an early stage of cloud to a more serious one, so people who say they don't understand is a reflection of CIOs sharpening their pencils to look at the financial benefits really hard," Hackett says.
"It's like buying a first car for your kid; you look at the ads, check out some deals, but you're basically going through the motions because you know you're going to buy something cheap," Hackett says. "If you're talking about the family car, or say you want a Mercedes or something in that class, you're going to sharpen your pencil and do a little more homework on pricing and reliability and long-term finances."

HomeMessiMessi, FC Barcelona In Joint Press Conference At Camp Nou On Sunday
Messi, FC Barcelona In Joint Press Conference At Camp Nou On Sunday
Africa Daily News August 07, 2021
Lionel Messi (Credit: Pundit Arena)
Spanish club, FC Barcelona, announced on Saturday a joint press conference with Lionel Messi slated for Sunday to straighten perspective on the departure of its most valuable and highly celebrated player in recent history.
The Argentine forward is widely expected to join French side Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the coming days after FC Barcelona said they could not afford to retain him.
His contract expired at the end of June and both parties had agreed fresh terms, only for FC Barcelona to announce the bombshell news of his departure on Thursday.
The Spanish club said they could not proceed due to "financial and structural obstacles".
The club's all-time record scorer, who has made more appearances for FC Barcelona than any other player, recently won the Copa America with Argentina.
He landed the Copa del Rey with FC Barcelona last season, adding to an array of trophies.
During his time at FC Barcelona, the only club of his professional career, Messi has helped the team win 10 LaLiga titles and four UEFA Champions Leagues.
Also, He has been awarded the Ballon d'Or a record six times.
FC Barcelona said Messi would address the media in the Auditori 1899, a large function room at the stadium, at 12:00 local time (1000 GMT) on Sunday.
"On Thursday, it was announced that the Argentine star would not be staying at FC Barcelona, where he has set club records for appearances, goals and official titles," the club added.
There has been no indication of a change in FC Barcelona's stance, with seemingly little prospect of a U-turn. FC Barcelona's announcement of Messi's departure stated it was a move that "both parties deeply regret".
The club cited "Spanish LaLiga regulations on player registration" as preventing them from handing him a new contract.
Like many clubs, FC Barcelona have been hit hard financially by the COVID-19 pandemic. Heavy spending on players in recent seasons has largely not paid off, with Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid winning the most recent two LaLiga titles.
FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta said on Friday, "There was a moment when La Liga insinuated to us that the proposed contract could suffice. But, after a technical analysis by its financial commission, they then informed us that wouldn't fully suffice either."
What Messi has to say about the recent chain of events is keenly awaited.

Horsefly bite. Bitten by horseflies? Read here what to do.
What do you have to do right after a horsefly bite to alleviate the pain and reduce the swelling? Sometimes people talk about a horsefly sting. But a horsefly doesn't sting, it bites.
Cool the area of the horsefly bite with a wet cold washcloth, a coolpack or some ice cubes in a washcloth.
Disinfect the bitten area by washing thoroughly with water and soap or treat it with (for example) alcohol. Disinfecting with vinegar is also an option.
Keep an eye on the bitten area for a few days. There's a small chance a bacterial infection might occur. If the area stays red or you see little yellow crusts, then go see your general practitioner.
Treat the area with special medication. Your pharmacy sells several treatments for insect stings and horsefly bites.
It's of the utmost importance to act quickly in case of a horsefly bite, as described above. Cooling and disinfecting should be applied immediately after the bite. Using special treatment like After-Bite is even better. These special treatments are specifically meant to alleviate the effects of horsefly bites, insect bites and insect stings. If you plan on visiting an area where you know will be lots of horseflies, be sure to bring an After-Bite pen.
To reduce the risk of getting bitten by a horsefly, you could consider placing a horsefly trap.
A horsefly belongs to the sanguivorous insects. Read more information about horseflies at Horsefly.

It's pan-sauteed speckled trout with a lemon butter sauce made in the style of shrimp scampi. You can use crabmeat or crawfish in their seasons instead of (or in addition to) the shrimp. This was a great specialty in the kitchens of the late Jimmy Moran: La Louisiane and then Moran's Riverside. The dish lives on at restaurants run by the chefs who worked at Moran's over the years, notably Sal & Judy's and Impastato's. (It has different names at each.) Here is the way I make the dish at home. It's a tribute to the late, great Jimmy Moran. And this is one of the times of year when speckled trout is often available.
1. Make the sauce first. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and the shrimp and cook until the shrimp turn pink. Remove and discard the garlic. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
2. Add the sherry, lemon juice, and stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce the liquid to about one-third the original volume, then remove from the heat.
3. Cut the stick of butter into small chips and whisk them in to make a creamy-looking sauce. Stir in the parsley, then add the crabmeat and the reserved shrimp. Set aside in a warm place.
5. Heat the 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Saute the trout, two fillets at a time, until golden brown–about three minutes per side.
6. Place a trout fillet on each serving plate and top with the sauce, splitting the shrimp equally among the plates.


They're all trying to put brave and smiling faces on their new government project, but the three other leaders of Prime Minister Erna Solberg's newly expanded coalition still face serious problems within their own parties. There's also a distinct lack of enthusiasm for Solberg's project among the public, with polls showing that the coalition would not have been voted into power if there was an election today.
Solberg dropped her planned participation in the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, along with several other meetings, to pull together her new ministerial line-up. It was expected to be presented on Tuesday, with speculation running high around who will represent the government's newest member, the bitterly divided Christian Democrats, and what kind of power they'll wield.
Several political commentators have written since the expanded coalition's platform was presented late last week that it's not formed by four parties but rather "just three-and-a-half." Nearly half the Christian Democrats' board voted against joining Solberg's government, preferring to cooperate with the opposition Labour and Center parties instead.
The infighting continued through the weekend. Several top Christian Democrats reportedly have declared they don't want to serve as ministers in the government. Others have said they don't want deputy party leader Kjell Inge Ropstad, who helped negotiate the new platform, to take over as party leader after Knut Arild Hareide. They don't think the conservative Ropstad will manage to re-unify the Christian Democrats.
Newspaper Dagens Næringsliv (DN), meanwhile, reported over the weekend how Hareide fought hard for a reversal of the decision to join Solberg's government, and wanted the Christian Democrats to vote down the new platform. Hareide had lost his bid last fall to side with Labour instead of Solberg's Conservatives, and he resigned as party leader right after the new platform was introduced last week. Now he's being called "a bad loser" for refusing to accept defeat and instead seem to undermine the winning side's authority.
Hareide himself has publicly declared defeat, but that didn't play out in the back-room meetings on the platform last week. "Knut Arild fought until the last minute to say 'no' to the platform and not join the government," one source told DN. "The result is an even more divided party." Hareide reportedly was irritated that Ropstad's negotiating team had kept him out of the negotiations on government policy. He also reportedly complained that Ropstad's team "hadn't delivered" on efforts to make significant changes in Norway's abortion law, and broke the party's promise against joining a government that includes the Progress Party.
Some party officials equated Hareide's last-minute objections to "a coup attempt," even though Hareide himself "never wanted to change abortion law." When he lost again last week, after a slim majority of board members voted in favour of the new platform, Hareide changed his tone again, speaking well of Ropstad and wishing both him and his fellow deputy party leader, Olaug Bollestad, well. Bollestad will serve as acting leader of the Christian Democrats until the party's next national convention next spring, and both Bollestad and Ropstad were expected to be named as ministers in Solberg's government.
Meanwhile, the Liberal Party is also deeply divided, with some party officials unhappy with the new platform, too, and demanding more high-profile ministerial posts that would give them a chance to carry out their policies. Grande's party leadership has also been under fire.
Environmental organizations are calling on both the Christian Democrats and Liberals to get much tougher and try to wrest control of the Oil and Energy Ministry away from the pro-oil Progress Party. That's likely wishful thinking, but the two small parties managed to keep Solberg's government from allowing oil and gas exploration off some of Northern Norway's most scenic coastline. Frederic Hauge of Bellona said it's "completely incomprehensible" that Progress can be so eager to hand out other new exploration licenses "when we know that Norway must restructure its economy away from oil," in order to cut carbon emissions sufficiently to help halt climate change.
All of the four parties now making up Solberg's government have also been faring poorly in recent public opinion polls. Newspaper Dagsavisen pointed out that six out of 10 voters don't want it, and the hype around the new coalition's negotiations hasn't stirred up more enthusiasm.
There were no big celebrations when Solberg finally achieved her dream last week of forming a non-socialist majority government. The Liberals have fallen as low as 2.4 percent of the vote in research firm Opinion's "party barometer" in January. The Christians Democrats are down at 3.7 percent, the Center Party is currently bigger than Progress. Even Solberg's Conservatives have fallen from the 25 percent they won in 2017 to 22.9 percent now. The Socialist Left party (SV) has been climbing in the polls, meanwhile, and took in 350 new members just last week, according to news bureau NTB.
There's no question, though, that it's likely to become more conservative, stress more "family values" and push for even more protectionism in the heavily subsidized agricultural industry. If the Christian Democrats gain control of the agriculture ministry, in line with speculation, they may chip away or even reverse some of the market liberalization policy championed by the Progress Party.
