The summit of security: fortifying Toronto for the G8/G20 meetings
June 18, 2010 Paul Raven 2 Comments
Regardless of your personal politics, it's hard to look at the extensive preparations for summits like the G8 and G20 groups – both of which are meeting near Toronto in Canada at the end of the month – and not be dumbfounded by the huge amount of money that gets pissed away on "preparing" for them.
Tim "Quiet Babylon" Maly takes a look at the "media pavilion" that's been constructed for the world's journalists to lounge around in, complete with simulated lakefront ambience and local rural flavour, and there's a bunch of links at MetaFilter talking about the extensive fortification of the town against the inevitable floods of protesters – up to and including the removal of street-side trees and saplings, lest they be used as weapons (yes, seriously).
Maly makes much of the parasitic nature of these conferences, beaming in and completely subsuming a location for the duration of the summit, and that's certainly one weird aspect of the whole business. But weirder still, at least to my eye, is the sociopolitical nature of the thing: here's a meeting of powerful people who are ostensibly discussing ways to make the world a better place, and they have to defend themselves from political dissent to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
That's the sort of budget that most dictatorships can only dream of, all spuffed away for a week or so of hermetically-sealed political secrecy and security for the allegedly democratic governers of the civilised world. There's something deeply paradoxical – I might even go so far as to say "fucked up" – about that; defending oneself from external enemies is one thing, but any governmental organisation that spends that much money on protecting itself from the people it ostensibly looks after is doing something very, very wrong.

Did the Iranian "Twitter Revolution" actually happen?
June 11, 2010 Paul Raven
You know, I'm always advising people not to believe everything they read, but I'm just as bad at doing it as anyone else – we all give credence to the stories we want to believe, I guess (and hell knows that media companies know how to exploit that).
So, remember the Twitter Revolution in Iran? That there was a revolution is not in question, but that the revolution was powered by social media? That's not so clear [via MetaFilter]:
… it is time to get Twitter's role in the events in Iran right. Simply put: There was no Twitter Revolution inside Iran. As Mehdi Yahyanejad, the manager of "Balatarin," one of the Internet's most popular Farsi-language websites, told the Washington Post last June, Twitter's impact inside Iran is nil. "Here [in the United States], there is lots of buzz," he said. "But once you look, you see most of it are Americans tweeting among themselves."
A number of opposition activists have told me they used text messages, email, and blog posts to publicize protest actions. However, good old-fashioned word of mouth was by far the most influential medium used to shape the postelection opposition activity. There is still a lively discussion happening on Facebook about how the activists spread information, but Twitter was definitely not a major communications tool for activists on the ground in Iran.
To be clear: It's not that Twitter publicists of the Iranian protests haven't played a role in the events of the past year. They have. It's just not been the outsized role it's often been made out to be. And ultimately, that's been a terrible injustice to the Iranians who have made real, not remote or virtual, sacrifices in pursuit of justice.
I'm starting to wonder if a faith in the hierarchy-corrosion of modern communications systems isn't becoming a core plank of what, for want of a less contentious or partisan label, we might call the postmodern progressive liberal platform. Maybe because we feel ourselves to have been liberated from something by the internet (even though we're not sure what it is that we've been liberated from), we think that it can deliver liberation to others from things that are far more oppressive and powerful (at least at the level of curtailment of individual freedoms) than we have the context and experience to understand? That political revolution can be as safe, easy (and fun!) as our spare time whiled away on social media? (See also: the illusion of participation produced by slacktivism.)
Or maybe it's just old-fashioned and fallacious Golden Age pulp technophilia: "Twitter is the future! The future is something we progress toward! Democracy in Iran would be progress! Therefore Twitter will help create progress toward democracy in Iran!"
I'm having a weird week; I've been spending a lot of time thinking about how we make pretty much everything into a story that reflects what we already believe to be true. The trouble with dwelling on that for a while is that you reach a point where you realise that, if that assumption is true, then that assumption is also part of a narrative that's reinforcing itself through you. Which is a pretty weird psychological and philosophical paradox… not to mention being remarkably unconducive to getting anything practical done.

Nation-state gives way to city-state?
June 8, 2010 Paul Raven 2 Comments
More future politics, courtesy SlashDot: excerpts from a speech by John Perry Barlow, co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (and former Grateful Dead songsmith), in which he states that the mechanics of national government in the US is failing because it's swamped by too much data, and that a move back to the city-state model may be on the cards:
"The political system is broken partly because of Internet," Barlow said. "It's made it impossible to govern anything the size of the nation-state. We're going back to the city-state. The nation-state is ungovernably information-rich."
Barlow also said that President Barack Obama's election, driven largely by small donations, has fundamentally changed American politics. He said a similar bottom-up structure is needed for governing as well.
"It's not the second coming, everything won't get better overnight, but that made it possible to see a future where it wasn't simply a matter of money to define who won these things," Barlow said. "The government could finally start belonging to people eventually."
"There is a circle of fat around the Beltway that is incredibly thick" Barlow said. "We can no longer try to run this country from the center. We've got to run it, just like the Internet, from the edges."
I expect Barlow's quintessential hippie credentials will invalidate his ideas for some, but I think he's on to something here. I'm no mathematician, but I suspect that the resources needed to maintain centralised control of any system will rise exponentially in proportion to the complexity and size of said system; in effect, we're trying to run huge nations using software that can't scale up effectively enough to cope.
However, I'm not naive enough to think that governments will be keen to devolve into federations of city-states; large systems gain a sort of momentum, and develop subroutines to protect their integrity and position of control. But perhaps the economic phase shift that some pundits are saying is just round the corner will leave them with little choice; at some point, it may simply be the path of least resistance (not to mention least resource expenditure) to let small communities hive off and self-manage within the loose framework of a (global? continental?) federal constitution. As Barlow points out, we have the technology to make such a world possible; it's the lock-in compatibility issues of the current socio-politicall operating system that will prevent such a change from happening.
Related: responding to the UK government's sudden embracing of transparency, Aditya Chakrabortty at The Guardian wonders whether it's going to do as much good as its advocates hope:
Who could be against see-through government? After all, it feels so democratic and bipartisan (civil servants privately admit that they had already prepared the pay document for former Labour minister Liam Byrne), and it feels so modish and internet-friendly. But the mistake that is being made here is assuming that merely pumping out information is an end in itself, which doesn't require context or any consideration of what it's in aid of.
That might sound odd coming from a journalist, but it's an argument that's gaining traction in other quarters too. Last year, the American legal scholar Larry Lessig wrote an essay called Against Transparency. It made precisely the opposite case that you might expect from a stalwart of the transparency movement. In the face of all Barack Obama's promises of greater openness, Lessig argued that more and more information released "unqualified or unrestrained by other considerations" would be harmful both to political debate and in the end to the ability of government to get things done (the example he used was campaign donations).
[ We talked about the Lessig article here at the time. ]
Beyond the bash-the-public-sector headlines, all this transparency is most helpful to those who are already able and willing to use it – that is, with the internet connections and time to sift through all the data. And, researchers have found, those tend to be the same relatively well-off and highly educated people who are already pretty well served by the public sector. As Tobias Escher at Oxford University puts it: "You end up giving more of a voice to those who already have pretty good representation."
There's also another concern, namely the sizeable number of people who simply don't care to find out how their government works, though one might argue that they've dug their own hole. But the point remains – transparency isn't going to be a panacea to the problems of large-scale nation-state governance. If anything, it's just providing greater amounts of evidence for the underlying problem: a system too large and complex for anyone to fully understand, let alone begin to fix. That said, I'd rather the data was available than not, even if it's analysed primarily for pillorying the public sector for headline-worthy misdemeanours (while more complex but fundamental issues are ignored because they lack a narrative hook or easy non-partisan explanation).

Swapping the Senate for Reddit, and other daft ideas about digital democracy
February 25, 2010 Paul Raven
For the sake of change-around, I'm gonna let someone else propose the wild idea this time. So, how's about you US citizens swap your Senate for something like Reddit.com? [image adapted from a photo by cliff1066™]
Let's abolish the Senate! Replace it with something truly new and egalitarian, a system that gives us thrilling optimism and empowerment, something far more representative than the so-called "House of Representatives" […] My proposal is to replace the moldering Senate with an electronic plebiscite system, i.e., something like Reddit.com.
Everyone who reaches voting age gets a log-in ID and a password.
All bills advanced by the House of Representatives are posted on "reddit.com" for approval.
Upvote or Downvote, voters get two weeks to cast their ballots and to state their opinions in comments as lengthy and as often as desired.
The millions of comments are categorized in an efficient way so that the curious public can read all existing viewpoints. They are, in turn, also upvoted and downvoted as people find them more or less relevant.
At the end of two weeks, all proposals that have received 60% (or another agreed-upon number) approval are enacted into law.
That would be just the start, apparently… :-s
Look, I'm a proponent of the idea of digitising democracy, but Reddit itself is a great example of why it wouldn't work for major policies at a national scale. The tyranny of the minority, a banal hegemony of kneejerk special-interests NIMBYism and me-too-gimme-gimme… not entirely unlike a lot of the Western world as it already stands, in other words, albeit with more cat videos (which would admittedly be something of an improvement).
But if you can't see how easily that sort of plebiscite framework could be gamed (let alone hacked)… well, you were a bit bold naming your website "Extropism", let's put it that way. Rhizomatic digital democracy could work, sure, but only in small numbers over small areas. You wanna go national with plebiscite, you need to think again, especially in a territory as large as the US – and you're going to have to think about representatives in some shape or form, because there's too much law and too little time for us everyday Josephines to deal with it at the same time as holding down a job. Now, if you want to talk about ways of building a representation system with total transparency and full-duplex discussion between the people and the rep, though, that's another argument entirely…
That said, it's hard not to be sucked in by the illusion of participation that the internet already offers – I've signed more petitions in the last two years than I have in my entire life, just because it's so damned easy to do online. But things easily done are easily ignored, and that nice warm glow you get afterwards is the glow of complacency. You may not believe me, but the big charities and campaign groups are certainly waking up to it:
"… underlying slacktivism isn't enough — you can't just turn your profile green. If you show support you are lazy? No. But there has to be a number of people taking actions in the real world, too." Anderson said.
It is this growing trend to show support via an online campaign that is threatening human rights movements across the globe, and the panel quickly picked up on the drawbacks of the internet in promoting false activism.
"I coined the phrase 'mousy solidarity' to explain how easy it is to click on a petition. We feel like we can participate." said Professor Sreberny.
What was made clear from the event was that both sides — activists and regimes — can see the potential for technology to promote their cause. But it was the words of a press spokesman for hosts Amnesty International that really struck home, underlining the need to continue to fight across several platforms, rather than relying on new trends to promote the cause.
Speaking of supporting political protest against corrupt regimes, everyone seems a little stuck on this whole Iran business. Why don't we just bombard Iran… with satellite internet signal!
This would be an invaluable help for a movement that the government can currently easily hinder with telecommunication cuts in the wake of large demonstrations. Most importantly, and from a US policy perspective, it would empower Iranians without committing troops or confronting the Iranian regime directly, solving the dilemma of American non-interference.
(Ah, non-interference is a dilemma, now? Is that another word for "knowing that there's no legal way to pull it off, and remembering how badly it worked out last time?")
Complications might, of course, arise. The Iranian government can crack down on the use of satellite dishes, as it has consistently done in the past, or attempt to jam the signal. The whole project might prove costly, perhaps cost more than the Voice Act's $20m budget. But is a cyber war with Tehran's regime not a more palatable route than the other "options" that remain relentlessly on the table?
Um. This chap somewhat misses the point of cyberwar – namely that the people opposing you on the web don't necessarily have to be based in the country you're trying to face down, or even care much about it beyond some vague and naive notion of religio-cultural brotherhood – but the idea itself isn't entirely crazy.
In fact, if I wanted to destabilise a totalitarian regime with a censorship fixation, giving its people open internet access is one of the first things I'd want to be able to do… which leads me to suspect that toppling the Iranian regime probably isn't as big a priority for the governments of the West as they might like us to think.
But maybe it would be, if we all just popped over to Reddit and clicked "upvote" enough times through multiple different proxy servers…

The web =/= the mob?
December 15, 2009 Paul Raven 1 Comment
Seeing as how I ended up with a whole bunch of related links, I thought they might as well all fit in one post. So, your overarching thematic question is: the power of the web and social media is pretty much a given, but does it empower us in ways that are beneficial or detrimental?* [image by arenamontanus]
For a start, Bruce Sterling points to what must be the third story I've seen in the last year about what happens when jurors are accustomed to social media and ubiquitous information access. In a nutshell, it's almost impossible to keep people in an informational vacuum without locking them up in a Faraday cage, or to keep them from Tweeting about a case they're hearing… so what happens to the existing legal model of the unprejudiced jury of your peers? Pandora's box is well and truly open; how can we develop fair trials in the information age? Expert systems instead of juries? Crowdsourced multiplex juries? Or a trial process that not only accepts but embraces its position at the centre of a media ecology based on novelty and shock?
Over in Egypt, however, the political counterculture is just starting to flex the lithe and slippery new limbs that the internet has provided it, thanks to the incumbent government's possibly self-defeating decision to leave the internet predominantly uncensored in the hope of encouraging international trade and domestic development. Decentralised networks like Twitter are undermining the official media controls and embargoes that are the hallmark and lynch-pin of the despot… with the end result that the Egyptian government is falling back on the time-honoured (if counterproductive) methods of intimidating and threatening the loudest dissenting voices.
Meanwhile, televangelist megapastor Rick Warren caves in to public opinion and writes publically to Ugandan ministers to condemn their violent persecution of homosexuality. While it's impossible to truly know the mind of another, I think I can safely assume that Warren would have lost no sleep over the Ugandan lynch-mobs; the bad publicity focussed on himself as a result of staying quiet, however, was simply unacceptable. A small victory for public opinion, perhaps.
But that knife cuts both ways. Remember me linking to an interview with Indian science fiction author Ashok Banker, in which he took the Western publishing industry to task for institutionalised racism, accompanied by a chorus of voices denying that any such racism existed? Well, that interview has been deleted from the World SF Blog at Banker's request, because he and his family have been receiving death threats in response to it, through assorted social media channels. A sad story, and one that pretty much proves his initial point… as well as demonstrating that the "pure" democracy of the web can enable the primacy of hatred just as easily as justice (your postcard from Switzerland has just arrived). It all depends on which group cares enough to do the most hard work with that media lever.
And speaking of inequalities, here's a post from a well-known figure in the copywriting blogosphere, wherein he reveals that he's actually a she. And no, it's not even some dramatic story of gender confusion and coming out: it's an inside account of the glass ceiling that still exists in the Western world for women who dare to make their own way in a male domain. Long story short: after a long period of crap work, poor pay and demanding clients, she started using a male pen-name and found that everything improved drastically.
In some ways, there's a small victory for the web here: intertube anonymity overcomes the gender boundary, saves family from poverty! But the story overall is a sad one, highlighting an institutionalised misogyny that we still perpetrate at a subconscious cultural level, even on the supposedly egalitarian plains of the internet. Worth bearing in mind next time the subject of female authors submitting stories using their initials rather than their first names comes up, and folk start saying that they're doing themselves a disservice by doing so, eh?
[ * Obviously the answer is "both", but I think there's a lot of value to be gained by thinking about how these things happen. We've asked whether the web is an inherently democratising force here before, and the stories above seem to suggest that social media empowers the most vocal and/or powerful groups that possess the savvy and access to use them effectively. In Egypt, that appears to be the good guys (at least from my perspective); unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case everywhere. ]

With a growing number of technological advancements, Pii Digital examines the latest trends that shape the way we interact with UI and UX design.
Following a year of pioneering innovation and a number of technological advancements, Pii Digital examines the latest trends that shape the way we interact with UI and UX design.
From content driven design, to relooking usability to cater specifically to "Generation Z", virtual assistance, borderless and immersive experiences and incorporating inclusive and accessible principles, user experience designs continue to evolve, commanding a progressive approach to the way in which we roll out new and state-of-the-art user interface designs.
Following in the footsteps of the likes of Microsoft and Google we continue to pursue the perfect UI design that caters to the needs of as many users as possible. Through inclusive and accessible designs and tapping into leading trends while referencing the trials and errors learnt from times since past, today we hope to make user interface design and user experience as comfortable for as many users as possible, catering to the various needs and different conditions under which users access information.
Clean, sharp layouts that are clear of animations, extravagant outlines, flashing interfaces and that offer ease of accessibility. While the allure to overexert design elements and page layouts for the sake of experimentation might be appealing, always keep in mind the need of the user and their usability objectives when rolling out a new user interface.
While your target audience and customer has a "type", always keep in mind the broad range of people, their level of experience and the various ways in which they will browse your build. Be mindful of diversity and accept that although you may have a perfect picture of who your customer (and visitor) might be, needs, ability and accessibility vary and your main objective is to reach and engage with as many prospective clients as possible, through a seamless user experience.
Test, test and test again! The last leg of every build project and always the step to get the least bit of attention, test your build. To ensure that your design is as inclusive as it can be, get as many users from diverse backgrounds and on a number of different devices and platforms to test your design.
As diverse as your customer range, so should your design team be. Employ the skills of various levels of designers, empowering junior team members to challenge the status quo while encouraging more senior builders to look at new projects from various different angels. The more diverse your team the greater the success in creating an inclusive and accessible design.
Up and coming trends that agencies and designers will need to get accustomed to in order to stay relevant include: Experimenting with facial recognition API's, don't discount the growing opportunities that augmented reality presents, learn as much as you can as quickly as possible about Gen Z's and start looking into ways of ensuring that the quality of your content is as prevalent as your design elements are.
Combine minimalistic user interface designs with linear journey or user flows that will ultimately see the user reach the end goal regardless of the journey they follow in order to get there.
Immersive, full-screen, edgeless designs replace past user experience design approaches, resulting in easily scrollable one page web sites that cater to the ideal user interface design.
While trends and technology continue to alter the way in which we present brands, products and promises to the marketplace, underpinned by the latest tech and hottest trends is an ever evolving arena of customers each looking to satisfy their consumer goals. Increasing the accessibility of information and acquisition by addressing usability and customer journeys we are better equipped to progress alongside the changing needs of customer UX.

A whirlwind tour of streets that change the way we get around. "10 Streets That Changed America" – Oct. 1 at 9 pm
Posted on: Sunday, September 25, 2022
10 Streets That Changed America
Saturday, October 1 at 9 pm
Discover how streets have connected the nation, divided communities, and changed the way Americans live, work, and shop. Trace Broadway's 400-year evolution: from Native American trail to Dutch trading route to the home of America's first public transit service and an electrically-lighted theater district known as the "Great White Way." This episode reveals how Broadway has become the poster child for the "complete streets" movement, in which automobiles take a back seat to more sustainable forms of transit. Ride from Boston to New York on the Boston Post Road, a dirt "highway" created for the nation's first mail carriers. Take America's oldest streetcar line out to some of the nation's first suburbs in New Orleans, and in Detroit drive a Model T along America's first mile of concrete-paved road. Explore a car-friendly street created by a 1920s entrepreneur who predicted that Los Angeles would be dominated by the automobile, and take a horse and carriage ride on a Brooklyn parkway built on the proposition that streets should be scenic. Streets featured are:
Covered wagon on The National Road.
Broadway, New York, NY – Discover the Native American and Dutch roots of the Great White Way, the first street in America to feature mass transit.
Boston Post Road, Boston, MA to New York, NY – Travel the highway that helped win the American Revolution and served as the nation's first "information superhighway."
St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA – Ride the streetcar that helped launch a wave of suburban development across the nation.
The National Road, Cumberland, MD to Vandalia, IL – Learn about the first road ever paid for by the federal government, which paved the way for covered wagons carrying settlers to the West.
Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY – Enjoy a ride on America's first "parkway," designed by Frederick Law Olmsted as a tree-lined oasis for city dwellers.
Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI – Join Geoffrey in the Motor City for a ride in a Model-T on the first concrete-paved modern highway.
Lincoln Highway, New York, NY to San Francisco, CA – This cross-country road, which began as a PR stunt dreamed up by car salesman Max Fisher, laid the groundwork for America's love affair with the road trip.
Wilshire Drive
Greenwood Avenue, Tulsa, OK – Visit what was once known as the "Black Wall Street" until a violent mob burned it to the ground in 1921.
Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA – Discover the story behind the development of L.A.'s "Miracle Mile," a revolutionary new shopping district catering to motorists in what was once considered "the suburbs" of the city.
Kalamazoo Mall, Kalamazoo, MI – In the late 50s and 60s, shoppers were abandoning traditional downtowns for suburban malls. See how Kalamazoo turned "Main Street" into a pedestrian mall, a pattern that would play out with mixed results across the nation.

Monster Beats Tour review
The Monster Beats Tour are among the most exciting and excitable earbuds we've heard Tested at £120.00
Entirely fit for purpose, the Tours are among the most exciting and excitable earbuds we've heard
Clever anti-tangle cord
driving, punchy listen
Cheerfully unsubtle sound
Seems a Premier League footballer can't appear at the post-match interview these days without a pair of Monster's Dr. Dre-endorsed Beats headphones.
We were interested to see if these Monster Beats Tours in-ears proved as ubiquitous.
The thin red cable may look like a rubber band (or a Fruit Winder, depending on the age of your cultural references) but it certainly does what it's supposed to: prevent itself becoming easily knotted.
The headphones themselves are sturdily made and, thanks to the four sizes of earbud provided, are comfortable and light to wear.
Big, bold and punchy
The Tours sound like the sort of headphones Andre Young would be happy to put his (stage) name to. The Roots' Thought @ Work sounds bold and punchy, the jackhammer beat nicely controlled, and there's no shortage of dynamic or drive.
The midrange and, to a lesser extent, the upper frequencies attack crisply; there's an immediacy and excitement that few price-comparable alternatives can rival.
There's a little coarseness to the way vocals are reproduced, and the overall signature is relentlessly forward which suits some material perfectly.
If you're looking for a subtle performance, you probably didn't have these on your shortlist anyway.

Although many are familiar with the national manufacturing PMIs released each month by IHS Markit, one often overlooked data set that provides an invaluable insight into the manufacturing sector is the Consumer, Investment and Intermediate Goods PMIs released each month for a select group of countries. This dataset allows us to examine in detail the three subgroups of the manufacturing sector; investment goods (goods that enable the production of other goods), intermediate goods (goods that are used as inputs in the production of other goods) and consumer goods (goods intended for final consumption by consumers). In this short note, we use this dataset to take a micro look at the manufacturing sectors of Germany, France, Italy and Spain in order to provide a more granular understanding of the current moves within the manufacturing sector in the Eurozone.

Q: Should I replace GA snippet with GTM snippet? Similar questions on this topic exists but they all seem a bit out of date.
I'm using Google Analytics snippet on my website and it works really well. However, I would like to track individual elements and therefore I am planning on installed Google Tag Manger to help me.
My question is, should I replace the GA snippet with the GTM snippet?

A: It is up to you. You can still trigger events using analytics.js or even gtag.js. Just need a little javascript.
GTM makes it easier to track elements based on attributes, css selectors, etc.

A: We moved from GA to GTM a while ago at my place of employment. As your website grows and you add more tags to it, GTM makes life much easier in terms of adding, testing and deploying. Would highly recommend moving to GTM.
For Google Analytics specifically, you get a lot more flexibility in terms of custom events, attributes etc as mentioned by xtothel above.

Many families are relieved to find that St. Jude will never send them a bill for their child's lifesaving treatment.
We also provide housing and food while they're here, and cover travel expenses too. Learn more about our unique operating model.
There are great research institutions, great hospitals and great charities. We're all three.
Our researchers and doctors work together to turn laboratory breakthroughs into lifesaving treatments for children.
Even the medicines we use are made right here at St. Jude, so that every patient gets exactly what they need.
St. Jude was the first fully integrated children's hospital in the South.
From the first moment Danny Thomas began raising money in the 1950s to build a children's hospital, his mission was to help all desperately ill boys and girls, regardless of a family's religion, race or financial status.
Learn more about the legacy of St. Jude during the civil rights era.
We share what we know.
St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
We also give specialized training to international healthcare professionals, so they can use that knowledge in their own countries. We also provide a free online portal for doctors and researchers around the world to collaborate.
St. Jude patient Jordyn (right) with her family
We can do all of this because of friends like you.

Every dollar makes a difference.
There are great research institutions, great hospitals and great charities — we are all three. Learn more about our unique operating model.
Danny used his fame to fulfill his vow and to change the lives of thousands of children and families. In 1962, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital opened in front of a crowd of 9,000 in Memphis, Tenn.

Havas Lynx swept the board at the 2016 PM Society Awards on Friday, taking home four Gold awards and two Silvers for its HIV campaign on behalf of ViiV Healthcare.
The Manchester-based agency's 'Change the Face of HIV' won Gold in the craft award category for advertisement campaign, primary care campaign and film. It also scooped the top accolade in the primary care advertisement category as judged by healthcare professionals and pharma executives across the UK.
Matching last year's biggest winner VCCP Health for Golds, Havas Lynx won the Gold disease awareness award for its 'Sun Safety on Site' skin cancer awareness initiative, which used UV ray-activated posters to target construction workers.
The agency brought its awards total up to 10 when it won Silver in the HCP-judged house promotion category for 'Generation Now; The impact of the millennial HCP on our world', and two Bronze awards for its 'Get It Right' respiratory campaign for Teva and 'Ask Your Dermatologist' psoriasis campaign for Novartis.
Healthcare marketing agencies CDM London and Frontera London earned three Gold awards a piece, while Sudler London, Bedgebury Communications and VCCP Health each took home one Gold.
Aurora Healthcare Communications won the target award for corporate communications on behalf of Takeda UK's Entyvio brand, for its 'Bringing a patient support programme to life' campaign targeting HCPs.
But the inaugural Best in Show award - now a permanent fixture after last year's one-off Winner of Winners prize - went to Ascensia Diabetes Care and CDM London for their 'Contour Diabetes Solutions' campaign.
The disease management campaign features three animated clips of a vinyl record player, Polaroid camera and videotape through which patients talk about their diabetes diagnosis and daily care habits.
Head judge Dean Woolley from woolley pau gyro said: "In selecting this campaign we asked ourselves four questions: Is there a proper idea at the heart of it?; does it answer the brief?; is it beautifully done?; and is it something we could all be proud of?
"The work by CDM London for this diabetes campaign really hit the mark on all of these".
Now in its 31st year, the PM Society will this year see co-chairs Rachel Farrow and Carwyn Jones step aside to make way for the organisation's first chairman from a pharmaceutical firm, Shire's Craig Bradley.

Inorganic nanoparticles, which can absorb and convert near infrared (NIR) light to heat to ablate cancer cells, have been widely investigated in photothermal therapy. However, the inherent poor solubility and acute systemic toxicity of these inorganic particles hinder their application in clinical practice. Polymeric nanocomposites materials containing both inorganic nanoparticles and polymers could be harnessed to achieve enhanced photothermal therapeutic effect as well as improved biocompatibility and multi-responsiveness. Synergistic chemo-photothermal efficacy towards cancer cells and tumor tissue can thus be realized through such multi-functional and multi-responsive polymeric nanocomposites. In this review, the recent developments in polymeric nanocomposites based on different types of inorganic nanoparticles (i.e. gold, carbon nanotube, graphene, and upconversion nanoparticles) for NIR-triggered cancer therapy are summarized.

Android Malware Hides Behind Black Screen
by John Lister on April, 25 2022 at 03:04PM EDT
A new variant of Android malware quite literally hides its activities. 'Octo' darkens the screen so that users can't see it stealing data. Researchers at Threat Fabric say the malware takes advantage of a built-in Android feature called ... "STREAM_SCREEN". It's not quite a live feed, but remotely transmits around one screenshot a second. (Source: threatfabric.com ) The scammers then misuse an accessibility feature in Android to remotely control the device. The stream screening lets them see what they are doing, despite not having physical access. Black Screen Disguise The sneakiest ... (view more)
Phone Screens Could Use Less Power
by John Lister on January, 20 2022 at 04:01PM EST
New technology could significantly reduce power that phone and other gadget screens consumer. It could also reduce the risk of screens being damaged by images "burning in." The technology is for OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screens which are ... now common in smartphones and other displays. In simple terms, the pixels in an OLED screen light themselves, whereas regular LED screens need a backlight behind the display. The main advantages are less power use and a thinner screen. The biggest drawback is a likely shorter lifespan, though that doesn't necessarily play a factor in devices such ... (view more)
Samsung Plans Triple-Screen Phone
Samsung has got approval for a patent on a phone with a double-folding mechanism. It would effectively be a tablet computer that fits in the pocket.

The new patent is for a double-hinge with one folding forward and one folding backward, a little like a "zed bed" mechanism.

How to Fix: Boot Windows 10 using Basic Display Adapter Driver

Facebook Launches Dedicated Screens
by John Lister on October, 9 2018 at 12:10PM EDT
Facebook is launching dedicated devices for video-calling friends and family. While they have some impressive technology, it's a bold move from a company whose reputation on privacy issues is controversial to say the least. The devices are known as ... the "Portal" and "Portal+". They both offer some of the features of 'smart speakers' such as Google Home and the Amazon Echo, but the main function is for making video calls.

Folding Smartphone Screens Could Be Gamechanger
by John Lister on June, 14 2018 at 01:06PM EDT
Samsung looks set to release a phone with a giant foldable screen. But rumors of the price are varying wildly. Reports suggest that the phone will fold out a little like a book. When open, the screen will be more than seven inches across, meaning it ... resembles a small tablet computer. When folded, the device will be the size of an ordinary smartphone and, although a little thicker than most phones, should fit easily in a pocket. The idea is that the design would dramatically change what's viable with a phone. For example, working on document editing would be much more bearable for the user. It ... (view more)


A pair of scandalous photographs making their way around in the Internet feature a man who bears a remarkable resemblance to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and two young ladies caught in some pretty suggestive positions.
Another photograph that originally was culled from this Twitter feed (via The Big Lead) features a woman kneeling with her head leaning against Jones' crotch (semi-NSFW — VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED — as Jones appears to be sans-pants).
There is no way at this point to confirm that the man in the photo is in fact Jones, so the grainy photos should be taken with a grain of salt.
But if at some point it can be confirmed that the photograph above featuring a man who looks a lot like Jones grabbing the breast of a much younger woman — much less the much more salacious image only linked above is actually Jerry Jones?
Well, then Double-J has a lot of explaining to do.
And if this isn't Jerry Jones? Then this guy could make a career out of being a Jerry Jones impersonator … or cause the Cowboys owner a mountain of headaches. Or both.

Galaxy Digital Obtains Approval to Launch new Bitcoin Fund in Canada
Galaxy Digital merchant banking institution has obtained legal approval from Canadian securities regulators to launch a Bitcoin Fund (recognized as CI Galaxy Bitcoin Fund) in Canada. Galaxy Digital has formed a partnership deal with CI Global Asset Management, Canadian investment firm, to facilitate such a launch of a public Bitcoin Fund in the nation.
CI Galaxy Bitcoin Fund aims to give Canadian unitholders (investors of any entity including partnership, company, and others) the ability to invest in Bitcoins directly using the fund's holdings.
As part of the initiative, CI Global Asset Management has obtained legal clearance from the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) to proceed with an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of CI Galaxy Bitcoin Fund. The IPO would consist of Class F units and Class A units at a price of $10 per unit each. As investors buy such units, Galaxy Digital would allocate the purchases in terms of BTC purchases from the fund's holdings.
CI Global Asset Management would be in charge of the management of the new Bitcoin fund. On the other hand, Galaxy Digital would serve as its sub-advisor tasked with the execution of all Bitcoin trading activities on behalf of the fund. The new fund would be offered in all territories and provinces of Canada.
The fund would be available to Canadians and allow investors to sell and buy Bitcoin ownership on publicly regulated markets, including stock exchanges and over-the-counter (OTC) exchanges. This approach would encourage serious investors to invest in Bitcoins, instead of trading on unregulated cryptocurrency exchanges.
Michel Novogratz Committed to Bring Bitcoin to Institutions
Founded and owned by Bitcoin bull Michel Novogratz, Galaxy Digital Holding limited is an investment company seeking to institutionalize blockchain and digital assets space, making principal investments, and providing investing, asset management, trading and advisory services. The firm provides investors with exposure and access to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin through its various partnerships.
In the past, the firm launched funds such as the Galaxy Institutional Bitcoin fund and the Galaxy Bitcoin Fund. The company is also offering many other funds based on various cryptocurrencies like EOS. While the Galaxy Institutional Bitcoin Fund is only available to institutional firms in the U.S, the new Canadian fund is open for public investment in Canada.

Researcher: Key to Understanding Climate Change Could Lie Just Below Ocean's Surface
View all the posts from March 10, 2016
A better understanding of how carbon cycles through the ocean could advance our knowledge of climate change, according to a UT researcher.
From beach shallows to the ocean depths, vast numbers of microbes work together to transform and store atmospheric carbon in the world's oceans, compounds collectively referred to as dissolved organic carbon (DOC). But studying the connections between those ocean-borne compounds and microbes has been impractical because of their huge number and complexity—until now.
UT researcher Alison Buchan, along with a team of US and international scientists, has identified technological developments that are providing scientists with the analytical tools needed to understand these molecular-level relationships.
Their perspective article appeared March 7 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It focuses on dissolved organic matter in the world's oceans as a central carbon reservoir in the current and future global carbon cycle.
Climate change is largely attributed to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.
"The paper is intended to serve as a roadmap for future research in the area of ocean carbon cycling," said Buchan, the Carolyn W. Fite Associate Professor of Microbiology. "This topic is recognized as a high priority research area in earth, ocean, and microbial sciences."
The world's oceans play a critical role in the cycling of carbon, Buchan said. Collectively, organisms that transform energy from the sun into chemical energy convert carbon dioxide to organic carbon, much of which resides in the dissolved organic carbon reservoir and is a food source for the large numbers of microbes that live in seawater. The microbes rapidly transform some of the DOC back to carbon dioxide, but a lot of it is stashed in the ocean.
"We don't know why so much of this material is not readily eaten by microbes. We don't even really know what this complex mixture of dissolved organic carbon looks like from a chemical standpoint nor which microbes eat select components," Buchan said. "While there is still a lot we don't know, we are making important advances that are helping us to better connect the consumer microbes with dissolved organic carbon transformations."
The paper provides the scientific community with information that includes the current state of knowledge in the area of ocean dissolved organic carbon-microbe interactions and transformations, and stresses that the most significant advances in the understanding of this relationship come from studies that pull together scientists from diverse fields.
"This paper is a call to arms for a broad collection of scientists and those who make decisions about funding for science," Buchan said. "It helps advance the field by not just highlighting the gaps in our knowledge but suggesting concrete steps forward that are achievable, given emerging technologies."
Technology has advanced so much in recent years that scientists now have the tools, such as advanced mass spectrometry, that allow them to better tease apart the chemical structure of components of dissolved organic carbon and sequence the genes of all the microbes in seawater to better understand what they are capable of. They also benefit from better computational algorithms and computing power that allow them to examine the immense data sets gleaned from application of these technologies.
The perspective article, "Deciphering Ocean Carbon in a Changing World," was born out of discussions at a 2014 workshop supported by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and Microsoft Research Corporation.
Co-authors on the paper include researchers from the University of Georgia; the University of California, San Diego; Oregon State University; Columbia University; the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington; the University of Washington; the University of Oldenburg in Germany; Sorbonne Universités, and the University of Chicago.

Zweiklang
Rendez-vous des amis: Sophie Taeuber – Hans Arp
13. Mar 2015 – 31. Jan 2016
Exhibition View »Zweiklang«, 2015 © Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2016, photo: Mick Vincenz
This year as part of the presentation of the collection we are issuing an invitation to a particularly charming and intimate Rendez-vous des amis. Our artist patrons Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber met in Zurich in 1915. For the rest of their lives from that point onwards they were engaged in a close exchange of artistic views, and in due course they became lovers. A diverse interchange developed, in which they both took different routes towards abstraction.
Hans Arp, »Sophie«, in: Zweiklang. Arp – Taeuber Arp, hrsg. von Ernst Scheidegger, Zürich 1960, S. 44.
»Many of Sophie's pictures are flowers in disguise«
Hans Arp was one of the pioneers of organic abstraction. He derived his flowing language of forms from nature. The wide-ranging oeuvre of Sophie Taeuber, by contrast, was based on the forms of expression of geometric abstraction. It was her artistic aim to combine art and everyday life and to remove the traditional separation of applied and fine art. Repeatedly the two different approaches flowed together in joint works, the so-called duo works. One particular aspect which forms the focus of an exhibition for the first time is the reflection of the art of Sophie Taeuber in Arp's poetic texts, in which he often voiced his admiration for his companion, who for him made "the shining heavens hover down into this life". We invite you to join us in looking forward to this unusual act of homage.

Unlike its March 7 predecessor, the second general assembly held on Monday by the Concordia Student Union to vote on continuing the strike was met with little success.
While about 2,000 students were present at the first GA, less than 300 showed up on the Reggie's terrace for the outdoor GA organized by the CSU. After more than an hour of waiting in the cold and windy afternoon, the CSU still had not met the minimum of 450 registrations in order to carry out the vote. Around 3:30 p.m., CSU Chair Nick Cuillerier announced only 12 students had registered in the past hour and declared the GA adjourned.
Shortly after the GA, about 100 students organized a sit-in on the 7th floor of the Hall building and started passing around a new petition to call for a third GA. While undergraduates as a whole are no longer on strike, individual faculty departments are still holding strike GAs and are organizing mobilization movements on their own.
Yesterday's adjournment struck some motions off the agenda specifically for that GA. Notably, the motion to pass the minimum agreement, which would prevent the CSU from denouncing the actions of other student associations, as well as requiring that all student associations be present when negotiating with the government.
Walcott said he was confident the movement was not losing momentum.
Some students, including those who organized the petition for this second GA, blamed the CSU for the failure to meet quorum, emphasizing a lack of organization and advertising.
Several students also said that the GA would have attracted more students if it was held indoors. The CSU said it was forced to hold it on the Reggie's terrace because of a double-booking of the Hall auditorium.
The sit-in of the CSU lounge that came after the GA was a direct reaction to a recent email from the administration warning picketers that they could face formal charges.
The original plan to occupy the GM building was cancelled when a student reminded the group that such action could not be carried out without a plan. Instead, the 100 students headed for the 7th floor of the Hall building to prepare an agenda for Concordia's future actions in the movement against tuition hikes.
Just like the provincial student associations, Concordia students talked about a radicalization of the movement, notably by increasing the number of acts of disturbance.
