saturday, June 9, 2018 | 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM | Board room
One of the most important skills in science is the ability to successfully apply for and acquire funding, whether in a postdoctoral or principle investigator position. Sources of funding are often difficult to identify, and postdocs may find themselves feeling under-equipped in their search and acquisition of grant support. This session will explore approaches for seeking funding, how to tailor applications for foundation and corporate grants, best practices in government grant applications (i.e NIH), and how to write an application that seems beneficial to potential funding partners- "how do I make my application sound fundable?" We invite a diversity of panelists with experience in government, foundation and corporate granting schemes to share their expertise.

Q: My program is showing no errors but won't print results to a label in TKinter for Python? I wrote this program and was trying to learn TKinter GUI.  I get no errors when I run the program and it looks good with the GUI, I then enter the values in the boxes and hit calculate button and nothing happens, I would like to find out why nothing is put in the result label at the bottom of the GUI.
Thanks for any help.

        if elevud.get() == 'u':
            elev = float(elevation.get()) / 3

        else:
            elev = float(elevation.get()) / 3

A: Somehow you got the positioning of your text boxes mixed up. elevud should be in row 3, not row 5; and so on.
distance_entry = ttk.Entry(mainframe, width = 7, textvariable = distance)
distance_entry.grid(column = 2, row = 1, sticky = (W, E))
elevation_entry = ttk.Entry(mainframe, width = 7, textvariable = elevation)
elevation_entry.grid(column = 2, row = 2, sticky = (W, E))
elevud_entry = ttk.Entry(mainframe, width = 7, textvariable = elevud)
elevud_entry.grid(column = 2, row = 3, sticky = (W, E))
wind_entry = ttk.Entry(mainframe, width = 7, textvariable = wind)
wind_entry.grid(column = 2, row = 4, sticky = (W, E))
windfb_entry = ttk.Entry(mainframe, width = 7, textvariable = windfb)
windfb_entry.grid(column = 2, row = 5, sticky = (W, E))

As it was originally, entering "u" in the third text box would cause wind to be "u" rather than elevud, which would cause float(wind.get()) to crash because "u" can't be converted to a float. Note that it's easier to debug these sorts of things if you don't pass when you encounter an exception.
Incidentally, <Enter> doesn't trigger whenever the enter key is pressed. It triggers whenever the mouse cursor enters the boundaries of a widget. Were you thinking of <Return>?

Q: What's the point in defaulting functions in C++11? C++11 adds the ability for telling the compiler to create a default implementation of any of the special member functions. While I can see the value of deleting a function, where's the value of explicitly defaulting a function? Just leave it blank and the compiler will do it anyway.
The only point I can see is that a default constructor is only created when no other constructor exists:
class eg {
public:
    eg(int i);
    eg() = default;
};

But is that really better than how you do it now?
class eg {
public:
    eg(int i);
    eg() {}
};

Or am I missing a use-case?

A: A defaulted constructor will have a declaration, and that declaration will be subject to the normal access rules. E.g. you can make the default copy constructor protected. Without these new declarations, the default generated members are public.

A: 1) Implicitly generated destructors are currently not virtual. So you need to define them in order to make them virtual, in which case they are not as efficient. With =default, You will have both virtual and efficent as implicitly generated destructors.
2) They will have access specifiers, contrary to implicitly generated ones.
3) If you inline your defaulted constructor, your class still remain trivial.
Here is an article elaborating this new feature.

A: Those examples from Stroustrup's website might help you understand the point:

defaulted and deleted functions -- control of defaults
The common idiom of "prohibiting
  copying" can now be expressed
  directly:
class X {
  // ...

  X& operator=(const X&) = delete;    // Disallow copying
  X(const X&) = delete;
};

Conversely, we can also say explicitly
  that we want to default copy behavior:
class Y {
  // ...
  Y& operator=(const Y&) = default;   // default copy semantics
  Y(const Y&) = default;

};

Being explicit about the default is
  obviously redundant, but comments to
  that effect and (worse) a user
  explicitly defining copy operations
  meant to give the default behavior are
  not uncommon. Leaving it to the
  compiler to implement the default
  behavior is simpler, less error-prone,
  and often leads to better object code.
  The "default" mechanism can be used
  for any function that has a default.
  The "delete" mechanism can be used for
  any function. For example, we can
  eliminate an undesired conversion like
  this:
struct Z {
  // ...

  Z(long long);     // can initialize with an long long
  Z(long) = delete; // but not anything less
};

A: As well as changing the accessibility (private/protected) of generated functions, you will be able to make them virtual.
struct S
{
    virtual ~S();
    virtual S& operator=(const S&);
};

S::~S() = default;
S& S::operator=(const S&) = default;

The following aspects of defaulted functions can be modified:

*

*access (be made non-public)

*virtual

*explicit (constructors)

*exception specifications

*const-ness of parameters

but to do so, the functions must be defined outside the class (8.4.2/2 in the C++0x Final Committee Draft).
A version of the original proposal by Lawrence Crowl is here.
Thanks to Roger Pate for the clarification and citation.

A: I suspect that being able to default generate the copy constructor will be actually useful. I can't see a use for default generating the default constructor since as you say the implementation you type in would be shorter.

A: See Item 17 from Scott Meyer's great book "Effective Modern C++". It describes many conditions under which default copy constructors, copy operations, and move operations are generated (or NOT generated).
In other words, the compiler might not "do it anyway". But if the default special member function makes sense, the user could use the "default" keyword to explicitly tell the compiler to generate a default function that otherwise not be generated.
From the Things to Remember at the end of Item 17:

*

*Move operations are generated only for classes lacking explicitly declared move operations, copy operations, or a destructor.

*The copy constructor is generated only for classes lacking an explicitly declared copy constructor, and it's deleted if a move operation is declared. The copy assignment operator is generated only for classes lacking an explicitly declared copy assignment operator, and it's deleted if a move operation is declared. Generation of the copy operations in classes with an explicitly declared destructor is deprecated.

A: For me its the disabling feature that will be useful, For most of the classes I currently create I disable copying & assignment - it will be nice to have a feature the compiler can recognise to do this, rather than depending on linker errors.

A: Defaulting is more useful for copy-constructors if you have a class with lots of attributes.
For example, if you have this class:
class MyClass {
private:
   int offset;
   std::string name;
   std::vector<Person*> relatives;
   float weight;
   MyClass* spouse;
   Vehicle* car;
   double houseArea;
   Date birth;
   Person* parents[2];

public:
   /* Default constructor will be defined here */
};

instead of defining the copy-constructor this way:
MyClass(const MyClass& that) :
   offset(that.offset),
   name(that.name),
   relatives(that.relatives),
   weight(that.weight),
   spouse(that.spouse),
   car(that.car),
   houseArea(that.houseArea),
   birth(that.birth),
   parents(that.parents)
{}

you would define this way:
MyClass(const MyClass&) = default;

Organizers of the Fairfield Women's Club Arts & Crafts Market on Town Hall Green Saturday are, from left, Barbara Gomperts, Corinne Dellaera, Betty Walsh and Edie Szabo.
Mother Nature got the message and painted Saturday's skies brilliantly sunny and blue, showcasing the Fairfield Woman's Club Arts & Crafts Market on Town Hall Green.
The 30th annual event, at the corner of Beach Road and Old Post Road, attracted about 50 vendors and a steady stream of local residents come to enjoy the day and find last-minute gift items to honor Mom on her special day.
"We always hold this the Saturday before Mother's Day," said Betty Walsh, the event chairwoman. "Our vendors are offering everything from jewelry and art to crafts and clothing. With the rain earlier in the week, we were thankful for such a gorgeous day today. Besides the vendors, we have grilled food from Bob's Buns on the Run, old-fashioned kettle popcorn, homemade baked goods from our club and an auction for a variety of baskets of goodies donated by club members."
Walsh said the event's proceeds go toward a $2,500 high school scholarship, a drama award, FIDELCO seeing-eye dogs, an arthritis organization and military veterans, among other causes the Fairfield Women's Club supports.
Vendors were housed in white tents arranged in rows on the green, among flowering plants and trees in their spring splendor. The aroma of kettle corn and hot dogs hung in the air. Visitors strolled across the grass, going from booth to booth browsing among the crafts.
One craft vendor, Jin Lee of JL Craft & Design, who was exhibiting handmade sterling silver artisan jewelry, said she is a veteran of the Fairfield event. "I've been here for the past seven years," she remarked. "It's a wonderful show. I've got a lot of repeat customers who enjoy my work. I'm glad to be here."
Examining a quilted checkbook cover, visitor Paula Posser of Fairfield said, "It's a beautiful day to see the crafts. I come every year and always find new, interesting things."
Fellow Fairfielder Samantha Mooney, browsing with her daughters Bailey and Kelley, agreed with Posser. "We finally have some good weather," she said. "We wanted to get out of the house, were driving by and decided to stop in."
Howard and Ziva Bader trekked down from Danbury to visit the show, though they were also seeing family in the area. "This is our first time here," said Howard. "It's beautiful, great stuff, wonderful crafts, very creative."
Of course, those still looking for a Mother's Day gift, like Kayla Delventhal, shopping with her friends Casey Clifford and Katie Craig, found plenty of options. "Craft fairs are the best," said Delventhal. "There's such a variety of different things you can find that aren't in the mall. A lot of handmade items showing a lot of effort. Perfect for Mother's Day."


When Life Takes A Pause.
An actor's life is unpredictable both on and off the screen. Mostly they are expected to react to every situation, and react in a way that it shows. So what happens when an actor takes a pause from life and goes into a meditative mode of zero reaction? No emotions, no expression, and no speech either. Is it possible for an actor to stay neutral? Nayika shares with us her experience of an induced 10-day silence and what it brought to her.

Tech roles in India 'most promising' for job seekers since 2014: Indeed study
Data from Indeed, one of the leading job sites, reveals that technology-related job roles in India are among the most promising for job seekers, as these job openings have grown consistently in the past five years (February 2014 to February 2019). Technology job roles increased by an overall 8% between February 2014 and February 2019.
Women stitching garments at home entitled to PF: SC
In a landmark judgement which may affect both government and private managements in India outsourcing the work to escape the labour laws by claiming that the persons so engaged are not their workers, the Supreme Court has declared that women tailoring garments at home for a company are entitled for the employees' provident fund (EPF)
India must tap on youth potential to drive economic growth before time runs out
India, which is home to more young people than any other country, is running out of time to harness the potential of its youth to drive economic growth. The nation's population in the under-19 age group has already peaked, government data show. That means the labour force will grow more slowly from here on out.
Maharashtra Government Doubles Minimum Wages For Workers
The Maharashtra government on Wednesday doubled the minimum wages of workers employed in shops and establishments across the state. Talking to reporters, Labour Minister Sanjay Kute said the decision will benefit nearly one crore workers employed in 10 lakh shops and establishments in the state in 67 different types of employment. "As per clause III
India's hidden challenges of employment, ageing and health
The budget for 2019 is a surreal mix of fact and fancy. While there is a belated recognition of investment as a barrier to the acceleration of growth and a sharp spike in the allocation for agriculture, primarily to finance higher minimum support prices (MSPs), healthcare—especially of the ageing, a growing share of the population—has
Law of unintended consequences

Wage imbalance
Last week, the Union cabinet approved the revised version of the Code on the Wages Bill. The bill envisages a national minimum wage, linked to factors such as skill level and geographical region. This national wage would effectively serve as a floor wage, with states having the option of setting higher wages. Minimum wage legislation
Labour Law reforms: Nobody knows who's a 'worker' under Indian laws! Do you?
India not only lacks an accurate estimate of its work force, a substantial part of which is in the informal sector (85% of all workers), it is yet to develop an uniform definition for several critical concepts like workers, wages, organised-unorganised or formal-informal sectors, small and medium enterprises etc to enable such estimation. This hampers

One of the best ways to keep muscles healthy and strong, the CDC advises, is through exercises called strength training.
Done regularly, strength training builds bone and muscle and helps to preserve strength, independence and energy. These exercises are safe and effective for women and men of all ages, including those who are not in perfect health. In fact, people with health concerns—such as arthritis or heart disease—often benefit the most from lifting weights a few times each week.
• Arthritis—It reduces pain and stiffness and increases strength and flexibility.
• Diabetes—It improves glycemic control.
• Osteoporosis—It builds bone density and reduces risk for falls.
• Heart disease—It reduces cardiovascular risk by improving lipid profile and overall fitness.
• Obesity—It increases metabolism, which helps burn more calories and helps with long-term weight control.
• Back pain—It strengthens back and abdominal muscles to reduce stress on the spine.
What's more, studies have shown that people who exercise regularly sleep better and have less depression, more self-confidence and self-esteem, and a greater sense of well-being.
Fortunately, strength training exercises are easy to learn, and have been proven safe and effective through years of thorough research. What's more, you may be relieved to learn, there are ways to train without undo strain, aches and pains.
• Find a few minutes at least two to three times a week to maintain general fitness. Try three or four five-minute bursts of activity such as walking or climbing the stairs at the office.
• Take two or three more minutes a day for yoga breathing and movements to help your body maintain balance, usable strength, flexibility and muscular restoration.
• Spend another few minutes every day and before any vigorous exercise doing calf stretches and forward bends.
• Stay hydrated before, during and after your workout.
• To reduce your risk of muscle soreness after exercise, consider a massage, an Epsom salts bath or intermittent hot and cold showers, as well as proper stretching and cooldown.
• Muscle strains and muscle pulls are major health concerns for weekend athletes. Signs you should look for alerting you to rest your muscles and avoid overtraining are a higher than normal resting heart rate, disrupted sleep due to an elevated heart rate, muscle cramping and muscle twitching.
• Eat right. In addition to lots of fruits and vegetables and a few lean meats, consume foods with magnesium, which helps fight inflammation, and with vitamin B12—especially if you're over 50—such as fortified cereals. Drink three cups of fat-free or low-fat milk throughout the day or consume the equivalent in yogurt, cheese or other dairy products. Consider an anti-inflammatory diet—cut out sugar, potatoes, tomatoes and eggplant.
• Go topical. Topical pain relievers such as creams, gels and patches work locally. For example, the Salonpas Lidocaine 4% Pain Relieving Gel-Patch provides the maximum strength of lidocaine available without a prescription.
These unscented patches can desensitize aggravated nerves and provide numbing relief generally within an hour of application.

This is an interface to the 2005 version of the nomenclatural crosswalk compiled by Dr. Fred Hrusa. The crosswalk is a database that accounts for the application of names of California plants. For the most part, The Jepson Manual of 1993 is the source of accepted names. The crosswalk is Dr. Hrusa's attempt to determine the Jepson name for names occurring in previous literature.
The crosswalk is neither exhaustive nor peer-reviewed (yet). It is made available by Dr. Hrusa with the hope that it will facilitate understanding of nomenclature of California plants.

Katie Walker is known for her LEGO design prowess. I check out her photostream constantly to see each new fantastic creation. This may not jump out as being a complicated model, but in actuality, it has more technique than it seems at first glance.
I made it to play with my daughter, because figuring out how to do those X's was oh-so-much easier than grabbing a pencil and sheet of paper.
Seriously, though, it took a long time to get the X's, and they're still not perfect. Good enough for a 4-year old, though. They needed to be at a 45 degree angle and then line up enough with the square so that any jagged edges could be covered with a tile, but the tile still had to have enough solid brick studs to attach on firmly.

There are deals at Lego for free shipping and double points and free Lego goodies but if you have other Lego to buy during these incentives, the Costco deal is pretty nice.

Abstract: Roughly 9 months after the end of the 5-year transient search in the Dark Energy Survey (DES), DES submitted a series of papers describing its first cosmology results based on measuring cosmic distances for a small fraction of the Type Ia Supernova sample. I will give an overview of DES, our first results, and the analysis, highlighting where we have made improvements necessary to reduce uncertainties. I will also briefly describe future prospects for SN Ia cosmology with DES (full sample) and the WFIRST space mission.


Most people will answer this question with 'to earn and learn" but truly an apprenticeship is so much more than that, especially with large corporates like BT. The scheme I'm on allows you to study part time for a full BSc (Hons) Degree in Networks or Software at Ravensbourne University located in North Greenwich. The degree is fully-funded by BT and has the equivalence to a degree studied in the traditional method.
One of the key challenges in this job market is standing out, graduates may have a fantastic degree but often lack experience – an apprenticeship with BT solves this conundrum. Even after my first year in the apprenticeship, I've made valuable connections and experiences which will help me progress in my career in both the broadcast and technology industries. This is something no amount of money, or degree, could buy. On top of all this, you still receive a competitive salary with fantastic perks for working at a highly respected multi-national corporation. This combined puts people on these new Degree Apprenticeships on an equal, if not greater, footing to peers at universities, as we will finish the scheme with no student debt, a full degree, a career and four years' worth of valuable experience.
What do you do day-to-day in your role?
Most of my days are pretty different working at BT, In TV our apprenticeship lets us change roles every six months in order to gain as wider an experience as possible. For my first role I worked in a technical role as part of our platforms support team. Here I helped both BT employees and external corporate customers, who utilise our broadcasting systems and software. Essentially my role was to help resolve problems when things don't go according to plan! I've now rotated to a role in our Business division; 'Media & Broadcast' in Marketing, which is completely different, but is enabling me to see our business from a commercial perspective.
There are many other roles that are available including; rotations that focus on the development and upkeep of software on our apps and set-top-boxes, the provision of our networks to broadcasters and business focused roles like product management.
The key differential to my apprenticeship though is what we do other than our day-to-day role. We are actively encouraged to partake in volunteering opportunities, such as charity events and community work. Last year I even volunteered at the BT Tower to take donations over the phone for Children in Need!
On top of this, there are many events and visits we go on which help us gain a wider understanding of our industry, these have included going to the BBC at MediaCityUK in Salford, Google and Sky's HQ in London. This is as well as internal visits to other parts of BT like our sites in Oswestry, Madley Earth Station and the BT Sport Studios in Stratford, East London.
Finally, I'm also London regional co-lead for The Apprentice Network where we organise events for all BT, Openreach and EE apprentices to attend like opportunities to meet senior leaders or socials. Combined, this is much more than an apprenticeship – it gives us a wider context and understanding of how the technology and broadcast industries operate.
BBefore BT, I studied History, Politics and IT at A Level in Sixth Form. I love technology and how immersive it can be, but I'm also a bit of a politics boffin – with Brexit and the election of Trump, I've been in my element the past couple of years! Of course, the political themed House of Cards is one of my favourite TV shows! Interesting fact, I once went to Question Time and got my 30 seconds of fame on national TV. Outside of that, I try to go swimming as often as possible, take the dog out for relaxing walks and love visiting new places (I especially want to see far more of Asia).
What do you aim to do in the future and how has your apprenticeship helped with those goals?
Since I've only been with BT for the past year in my apprenticeship, I've still got far more to learn and discover both about myself and where I want to go in the future. I feel that being in a massive multi-national like BT and in the dynamic area that is TV – I've realised that this is the industry and part of the business I want to work in.
Do you have any tips for people looking to do an apprenticeship or choosing their options?
If you're unsure on whether university is for you, or you want to get a degree but don't want the debt take a look on the internet (with sites like GetMyFirstJob, corporation's early career sites and GOV.UK) for Degree Apprenticeships. Most importantly, for people like me who wanted a degree but also experience and no student debt it is the perfect solution which can be found at a whole host of high-class, blue-chip firms like BT. Apply for as many of the schemes as you possibly can, and of course, study hard to get good grades.
Even if you want to go to university, don't completely disregard Degree Apprenticeships as there is a wide variety of schemes available for all different professions.
Do what's right for you, don't fall into the trap of letting an educational institute push you into going to university. Further education isn't right for everybody, and neither are apprenticeships – people learn in different ways, and finally, the education system is catching up with the introduction of Degree Apprenticeships.

WhatsApp Fixes Video Call Flaw That Allowed Account Hijack
All Tech News > category news Mobility > category news Mobile Apps

Facebook service fixes video call flaw that could allow hackers to hijack user accounts
Facebook has reportedly fixed a serious vulnerability that could have allowed hackers to hijack user accounts via a flaw with the video calling facility.
The flaw affected both the WhatsApp app on both Apple and Android devices, but not web users, as the browser-based client instead relies on the WebRTC protocol.
It comes after another major security incident at parent firm Facebook, after it reported last week that hackers have may have gained access to nearly 50 million accounts by exploiting flaws in the social network's code.
But according to ZDnet and The Register websites, the WhatsApp flaw could allow hackers to hijack the app (and thus the user's account) if they answered an incoming video call in Android or iOS.
The hacker could potential send a malformed Real-time Transport Protocol packet, in order to corrupt the app's heap memory and open it to attack
The flaw was apparently discovered by Google Project Zero's Natalie Silvanovich, and she responsibly informed WhatsApp about it in August.
Silvanovich has now revealed the flaw after WhatsApp fixed it in early October.
Meanwhile a WhatsApp spokeswoman confirmed that it had acted "promptly" to fix the flaw.
"We routinely engage with security researchers from around the world to ensure WhatsApp remains safe and reliable," Ann Yeh, spokeswoman for WhatsApp told Reuters. "We promptly issued a fix to the latest version of WhatsApp to resolve this issue."
The good news is that a WhatsApp employee familiar with dealing of the issue told Reuters that there was no evidence that hackers actually exploited the bug to launch attacks.
Popular app
It is worth remembering that WhatsApp is a widely used messaging service nowadays. Indeed, it is said to be used by more than 1.2 billion people around the world.
Facebook of course acquired WhatsApp in 2014 for a staggering $22bn, despite the fact that WhatsApp at the time had a tiny revenue stream.
WhatsApp co-founder Acton left Facebook in November last year, and he was followed by Jan Koum in May 2018, after he also reportedly clashed with Facebook's attempts to use its personal data and weaken its encryption.

Georgia Governor: Plug Power Opening in Camden County
Gov. Kemp Announces Plug Power Opening Green Manufacturing Plant in Camden County
Atlanta, GA (STL.News) Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp announced that Plug Power, a leading global provider of hydrogen solutions, will invest $84 million in opening a green hydrogen fuel production plant in Camden County. Plug Power has deployed more than 40,000 fuel cell systems for e-mobility, delivering efficiency gains, fast fueling, and lower operationa l costs to their customers, and delivers 40 tons per day of hydrogen fuel to those customers.
"I'm glad to welcome Plug Power to the number one state for business," said Governor Kemp. "As the home to several of Plug Power's great Georgia-based customers, including Southern Company and The Home Depot, I'm confident they will find continued success and innovative partnerships in the Peach State."
Plug Power's vertically integrated GenKey solution ties together critical elements to power and fuel and provides services to customers including Amazon, BMW, Southern Company, The Home Depot, Group Carrefour, and Walmart. The company is continuing to expand to markets including zero-emission on-road vehicles, robotics, and data centers. With close proximity to I-95 and strategically on the Eastern Seaboard, this new zero-emission fuel production plant will help the company better serve their industrial customers across the Southeastern U.S.
"With this hydrogen production plant, we are expanding our green hydrogen network to provide zero-emissions fuel to customers in Georgia and across the Southeast," said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power. "Investing in Camden County is the right choice to support Plug Power's continued growth."
Located at the Camden County Industrial Park in Kingsland, the company's hydrogen fuel production facility will create 24 jobs in Camden County. As soon as summer 2022, Plug Power will be hiring for careers in operations, engineering, maintenance, and logistics. Individuals interested in opportunities with the company are encouraged to visit plugpower.com for additional information.
"We look forward to working with Plug Power and our state and local economic development partners on this exciting project that clearly demonstrates that Kingsland is open for business," said Kingsland Mayor Dr. C. Grayson Day.
"We are proud to welcome Plug Power to Camden County," said Executive Director of the Camden County Joint Development Authority James Coughlin. "The Authority was happy to structure a package that is beneficial for the company and the community and we are grateful for the cooperation between our partners; Okefenokee EMC, the Georgia Department of Economic Development and the City of Kingsland. This type of forward-thinking collaboration is what makes projects work in Southeast Georgia."
Assistant Director Alyce Thornhill represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development's (GDEcD) Global Commerce division on this project in partnership with the Camden County Joint Development Authority, Georgia Ports Authority, Georgia Power, and Okefenokee EMC.
"Having Plug Power expand its footprint to Georgia is exciting news for this growing industry," said Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) Executive Director Griff Lynch. "The Ports of Savannah and Brunswick provide the capacity needed for auto part imports and auto exports, making the I-95 corridor perfectly suited for this type of development."
"Georgia is a great place to do business, and because of that, we continue to attract the jobs of the future," said GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. "Many thanks to Plug Power for choosing to invest in Georgia, and for helping bolster our green technology ecosystem. Congratulations to our partners in Camden County, and thank you for your efforts to help bring jobs to Georgia that positively impact our economy and our environment."

UPI Horse Racing Weekend Preview: Delaware Handicap highlights action
Robert Kieckhefer, UPI Racing Writer
Unbridled Mo, seen winning the Grade I Apple Blossom at Oaklawn Park this spring, is among the favorites in a tough field for Saturday's $750,000 Delaware Handicap. Photo courtesy of Oaklawn Park
The Delaware Handicap, with Elate and Unbridled Mo facing off, and a clutch of 3-year-old races on both dirt and turf highlight weekend Thoroughbred racing.
Ax Man and Blended Citizen feature in the Los Alamitos Derby while King Zachary is a heavy favorite in the Indiana Derby.
On the international scene, English fans can drown their World Cup sorrows with some nice races at Newmarket. But Investec Derby runner-up Dee Ex Bee will be in France on Saturday, where the football crowd will be looking forward to Sunday's World Cup final against England-beater Croatia.
With sympathy for our British friends, we move along.
RELATED UPI Horse Racing Roundup: Belmont Park purse split
King Zachary is the solid morning-line favorite among nine lining up for Saturday's $500,000 Grade III Indiana Derby at Indiana Grand. The Curlin colt backed out of the Triple Crown grind after finishing sixth in the Grade II Wood Memorial, detouring to victories in a Churchill Downs allowance race on Derby Day and the Grade III Matt Winn Stakes under the Twin Spires last month. Among the other eight, the oddsmaker looks to Axelrod, who ships in from California after finishing second in the Grade III Affirmed in his most recent outing.
Ax Man reappears in Saturday's $150,000 Grade III Los Alamitos Derby after a trip to Kentucky that produced a third-place finish in the Matt Winn. He's one of two in the five-horse field for trainer Bob Baffert. The other, Once On Whiskey, hasn't stirred much enthusiasm yet. Doug O'Neill also field two, including Blended Citizen. The Proud Citizen colt didn't make the Kentucky Derby field but won the Grade III Peter Pan as a consolation prize. He then finished ninth in the Belmont Stakes. O'Neill's King Cause and the Peter Eurton-trained Draft Pick round out the field.

Distaff
Elate, Unbridled Mo, Mopotism and Farrell are set to duke it out along with five others in Saturday's $750,000 Grade II Delaware Handicap. Elate, by Medaglia d'Oro, won the Grade I Alabama and Grade I Beldame last year before finishing fourth in the Breeders' Cup Distaff and makes her first start of 2018 as the 2-1 favorite on the morning line. Unbridled Mo, a 5-year-old daughter of Uncle Mo, missed most of last season but won the Grade I Apple Blossom at Oaklawn Park this spring. Mopotism, by the same sire, hasn't been a frequent winner but has regularly hit the board. Farrell swept last year's 3-year-old filly series at Fair Grounds, struggled this spring at Oaklawn but had two nice runner-up finishes at Churchill Downs in May and June.
Talk Veuve to Me is the even-money favorite among eight entered for Saturday's $200,000 Grade III Indiana Oaks at Indiana Grand. The Violence filly makes just her fifth career start and has never been worse than second. That tally includes runner-up showings in the Grade II Eight Belles at Churchill Downs and the Grade I Acorn at Belmont Park in her most recent efforts. The Rodolphe Brisset trainee looks tough to beat here. But they run the races for a reason.
RELATED UPI Horse Racing Roundup: Wonder Gadot wins Queen's Plate
Gamble's Ghost is the 125-pound highweight in Sunday's $125,000 (Canadian) Grade III Ontario Matron on the Woodbine all-weather course. The 5-year-old Ghostzapper mare comes off a win in the Grade III Trillium over the course and faces eight rivals.
Untamed Domain is the lukewarm morning-line favorite for Saturday's $200,000 Grade III Kent Stakes at Delaware Park, a wide-open affair indeed. The Animal Kingdom colt was second in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, where he was gaining on Mendelssohn in deep stretch but fell 1 length short. In four previous starts this year, his best showing was a second in the Grade II American Turf at Churchill Downs. Any of the other look capable of stepping up in this one and the race easily could produce some new players in the division.
Blue Point, winner of the Group 1 King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot, is the antepost favorite for Saturday's Group 1 Darley July Cup at 6 furlongs Saturday at Newmarket. The Shamardal 4-year-old, trained by Charlie Appleby for Godolphin, has been a totally consistent performer throughout his career, bar a ninth-place finish in April in Hong Kong. The opposition is suspect. Coolmore's U S Navy Flag hasn't been the same since his trip to Del Mar last fall for the Breeders' Cup. Eqtidaar exits a victory in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot but that was only his second-ever win. Sands of Mali was second in the Commonwealth Cup. One might be inclined toward Dreamfield, theoretically Godolphin's second team but a winner three times from four starts and most recently a good second in the Wokingham Stakes at Royal Ascot where he faced 27 rivals, missing by a neck to 33-1 chance Bacchus.
On Friday at Newmarket, Alpha Centauri is the prohibitive favorite in the Group 1 Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes for fillies and mares at 1 mile. The Mastercraftsman filly, out of the Rahy mare Alpa Lupi, was the convincing winner in the Group 1 Irish 1,000 Guineas and the Group Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot in her last two starts. Aidan O'Brien has Clemmie, who was fifth in the Coronation but is 2-for-2 at Newmarket. Threading, second in the Coronation, represents the Mark Johnston yard.
Dee Ex Bee keynotes a short field for Saturday's Group 1 Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris Saturday at ParisLongchamp, a 1 1/2-miles test for 3-year-old colts and fillies. The Farhh colt, out of the Seeking the Gold colt Dubai Sunrise, was second to Masar in the Investec Derby but a disappointment in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby, reporting seventh. Mark Johnston trains this one. Heading the local contingent is Neufbosc, winner of the Group 3 Prix du Lys in his last outing for trainer Pia Brandt. Aidan O'Brien sends Kew Gardens and Nelson. Joseph Patrick O'Brien saddles Downdraft and it's never wise to ignore the trainer-jockey team of Andre Fabre and Maxime Guyon, who field Folamour.
News and Notes:
The Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings for the first half of the year paint an interesting picture and seem to leave matters fairly wide open for the remainder of 2018 -- bar, of course, Winx.
Australia's super mare remains atop the ratings at 130, followed by Gun Runner (129), Cracksman and Poet's Word (125) and Justify and West Coast (124). Winx's connections opted to stay Down Under rather than travel to Royal Ascot so we'll never know how she would have fared in international competition. But there's no questioning her dominance in Australia. The ratings include horses who ran at any point from Jan. 1 onward so Gun Runner qualifies via his victory in the Pegasus World Cup. But he's long gone from competition. Cracksman has shown none last year's dominance so far this season, most recently losing to Poet's Word by better than 2 lengths at Royal Ascot.
The door would seem to be open for Justify to move up the rankings -- except that he currently is being treated for filling in an ankle. That touched off the conspiracy theorists who believe his ownership team is building an excuse to retire him without further ado. West Coast hasn't raced since finishing second in the Dubai World Cup in March and shows no current works although he reportedly is back with trainer Bob Baffert for a restart.
It's enough to make you want to buy a horse and get in the game!

Q: Matplotlib: I don't know if I'm plotting in the correct way When I need to plot 2 series on y axis, I don't know if this is the best way. It works with lines, but it does not work with line + bars. If I set y2 kind='bar', this serie disappears. indexesM is my dataframe. This is the code:
x = indexesM.index.to_timestamp()
y0 = indexesM['cdi t12m']
y1 = indexesM['ipca t12m']
y2 = indexesM['br real yield t12m']
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x, y0, label='CDI')
ax.plot(x, y1, label='IPCA')
ax.plot(x, y2, label='Juro real')
plt.show()

A: I created a composite graph by customizing a sample from the official reference. It uses ax.bar().
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = {'apple': 10, 'orange': 15, 'lemon': 5, 'lime': 20}
names = list(data.keys())
values = list(data.values())

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(9, 3))
ax.bar(names, values, color='g')
ax.scatter(names, values, color='r', s=30)
ax.plot(names, values, color='b', lw=2)

ax.set_title('Categorical Plotting')

plt.show()

A KEY FACTOR IN A SUCCESSFUL PHOTO SHOOT IS FUN. We had an absolute blast shooting "Super Natural," the beauty feature in our brand new issue. And how does this fun happen? Well…you start with some sincere passion, then add to that a group of creative individuals, an idea everyone can get behind, some rockin' tunes… and blend, blend, blend! Oh, and of course, lots of hard work is involved. But when you're having fun, hard work becomes second nature. Speaking of nature, she was our muse in the making of the beauty feature! Get glimpse of the behind-the-scenes action in our exclusive video:
Having the talented Melisser Elliott on board again, who did makeup and hair on two features in our Premier Issue, was a no-brainer. Of course, as always, she used all vegan and cruelty-free makeup and hair products, and shared indispensible beauty tips. Our amazing photographer Ashley Macknica provided the city/nature concept for the shoot and the perfect location for it in the form of her East Village home in NYC. Our vegan model Maggie Geha had just the right look, and was a total pro in not only taking direction, but adding her own personality to the shoot (she's also an actress!) We took things a step further this time and also included fashion stylist! Liz Polden pulled an amazing selection of vegan and ethically-produced garments, which really made all of the beauty looks come alive. Our amazing nail artist Miss Pop dazzled up the digits with her second-to-none artistry and cruelty-free lacquers. We even had a prop stylist—Jules Manoogian finessed the details of our portrait and product shots. All of this amounted to a dream project for me to art direct! So, there you have it—a shoot so fun, you'd want to do it over and over!
IN OUR EQUALLY-FUN FASHION FEATURE "SUMMER FLING," WE PAIRED cutting-edge style with a vintage hair look. To achieve this, we recruited makeup and hair maestro Bettina May, who also just so happens to be an outspoken vegan burlesque star! Bettina created a lovely modern take on the classic pin-up hair do. "The best way to create soft glamorous curls is with an old-fashioned roller set," she explains. Here, she gives us simple instructions on how you can re-create this look at home:
[1] To start, comb the hair into the part you want for the style. Then, using the end of a rattail comb, section hair into equal parts, and spritz the setting spray from root to tip (about 3 sprays will do it for medium length hair) holding the bottle 8-10 inches from hair.
[2] Next, rolling away from the part, wrap the hair around your curler, always rolling under, and make sure your ends are wrapped in neatly. For best results, use smaller rollers around the face, and larger curlers on the top of the head.
[3] Leave hot rollers in for at least 30 minutes (just enough time to do your makeup!), and then unroll the curlers and brush fabulous curls out with your fingers or a nylon bristle hair brush (I love the classic Mason Pearson brushes). And voilà— a sexy throwback, perfect for summer.
See the final result on our vegan model Emily Wilson, along with gorgeous vegan fashion and accessories, in our BRAND NEW ISSUE!

TRAVEL GUIDE: VEGAN IN BERLIN
REFERRED TO AS "VEGAN PARADISE" IN A RECENT GUIDED TOUR, Berlin is the undisputed heart of Germany's nearly one million-strong vegan population. Reasons to love Berlin are countless. A diverse range of fabulous vegan food abounds in the capital: innovative restaurants, cafés and snack bars that cater to every taste, from fast food to haute vegetable cuisine. There are a multitude of places to shop for vegan food: not only are there small vegan grocery stores, but also two vegan supermarkets. There is a thriving vegan fashion scene; tons of options to get beautified, vegan-style; and of course, an active animal rights community. Here are some of my absolute faves and hidden gems:
Berlin has something known as "the vegan avenue" in the neighborhood of Prenzlauer Berg!
[1] The best place for compassionate and chic fashion shopping is Dear Goods. You will find clothing for girls and boys as well as a small selection of jewelry, bags, wallets, and home accessories. But the store is not only animal friendly; eco- and human-friendliness is also crucial for the owner Nicole Noli. Dear Goods is located in Schivelbeiner Straße 35, 10439 Berlin
[2] To complete your vegan outfit, go next door to Avesu. There, you'll find elegant and chic footwear from Good Guys Don't Wear Leather, sneakers from Veja or Ethletics, non-leather Doc Martens, and hiking boots from Vegetarian Shoes. They carry tons of styles for women, men, and children. Avesu is located in Schivelbeiner Straße 35, 10439 Berlin
The vegan and eco conscious brand Jonny's Vegan (pictured) launched recently. The first collection soon became a favorite of veganistas and shoe lovers alike. Manufactured with fair labour in Spain. (Available at Avesu.)
[3] Founded by twin sisters Anja and Sandra Umann, Umasan is the world's first vegan high fashion brand based in Berlin. They only use the finest eco-innovative materials such as Seacell, Soyfiber, Bamboo, Protein Fiber, Energear, Smartcel and Tencel. As for the designs: timeless, avant-garde and incredibly chic and comfortable. The Umasan flagship store is located in Linienstrasse 40, 10119 Berlin
[4] Good Guys Don't Wear Leather. This innovative vegan brand has built a cult following not only in Germany, but has crossed over internationally. Large selection available at Avesu.
BONUS! Also part of "vegan avenue" is the vegan supermarket Veganz. It's right next to Avesu and Dear Goods. Your can find everything there, from fruits and veggies, to raw foods, a huge freezer filled with vegan ice cream, pizza, every vegan meat imaginable, as well as a great selection of cheese, plant-based milk drinks, candy bars, cookies, and chocolate. Basically everything that makes you feel as if you're in vegan food heaven. The bistro Goodies is located in the entrance area of Veganz, serving bagels, salads as well as smoothies, coffee and raw cake. Veganz is located in Schivelbeiner Str. 34, 10439 Berlin. Recently a second location opened in Friedrichshain in Warschauer Strasse 33, 10243 Berlin.
[1] My favorite place for a lazy afternoon with coffee and cake: The prettiest location in town is Café Vux, where the yummiest bagels, the most delicious cakes and the best coffee are served. Located in the popular district Neukoelln and right across the street from the vegetarian & vegan Italian restaurant Ponte Verde for a seamless transition from late afternoon coffee to the dinner table. Sunday is brunch day at Café Vux. Café Vux is located in Wipperstrasse 14, 12055 Berlin
[2] The best vegan food in Berlin: The vegetarian restaurant Cookies Cream is a hidden gem in Berlin-Mitte. Once you have made your reservation (please note that you wish to eat vegan) and made your way through the delivery yard at the back of the Westin Grand hotel, you will enjoy a delicious three-course meal made from fresh regional and seasonal ingredients in a stylish but yet inviting location. Cookies Cream is located in Behrenstrasse 55, 10115 Berlin
[3] The absolutely divine Vanilla Chocolate Cupcake at Café Vux.
[4] A very particular Berlin speciality: Vöner serves the typical Berlin dish – a döner, a doner kebab – vegan style. Located in Friedrichshain, one of the districts where the vegan scene is really happening, Vöner has become an institution for greasy, savory and delicious fast food. Insider tip: order the "Wagenburger" and french fries with vegan cheese sauce. You'll be saying, "Mega lecker!" (it means "extremely delicious" in German). Vöner is located in Boxhagener Straße 56, 10245 Berlin
These brands are not to be missed:
Over 30 years ago, Ingrid Stamm founded i+m Naturkosmetik: the Berlin-based natural cosmetics brand. At that time, she was a pioneer – and she still is. The brand is certified organic, 100% vegan, uses only cold pressed oils, no artificial ingredients or mineral oils, no preservatives, like parabens, does not test on animals, and supports fair trade projects. The product range includes skin, hair, and body care. The packaging is also environmentally friendly, following the cradle to cradle design. Reflecting the spirit of i+m's hometown, the Berlin-line was created, which also comes in a very nice travelling package with shower gel, body cream, hair shampoo, and conditioner. This makes a great, eco friendly, and vegan souvenir for all loved ones at home, or a way to remember this trip when back home. The products are available at whole food stores, such as Bio Company, LPG Biomarkt, Basic, Alnatura or Bio Company.
Luckily, great cruelty free and vegan beauty products can be found all over town. Here are a few brands and where they can be found:
Drugstores: Terra Naturi (Mueller), Alverde (DM) and Alterra (Rossmann) – organic skin and haircare, vegan products are clearly labeled
Supermarkets: bulldog (Rewe) – organic and vegan skin care for men
Health food stores and organic supermarkets: benecos skin and hair care as well as make up (tip: great nail polish) is an organic brand with a great vegan selection.
One of the first German organic skin care brands was Dr. Hauschka, with many vegan products to choose from. (Tip: the Cleansing Milk is a staple in my bathroom.)
ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISM IN BERLIN
When it comes to meeting like-minded people and fellow animal rights activists, Berlin Vegan is the place to go. Twice a month this group of regulars meets in a vegan location to share news, tips and plan upcoming activities. New faces are more than welcome, and help for their various projects such as a website, a restaurant guide app, and an annual summer festival is always highly appreciated. This year the summer festival will take place August 31st, 2013 at Alexanderplatz. Yummy food, great people, informative speeches and cookery shows – be there, or be square.
About the author: Franziska Schmid is a vegan writer and blogger living in Berlin. When she became a vegan in 2008, she wanted to continue to visit nice restaurants and cafés, enjoy good food, cosmetics, and use red lipstick and wear cool shoes. She started her site Veggie Love to share her finds and inspire others.
LAIKA Magazine is available at Berlin's do you read me?! bookstore! They currently stock the Premier Issue, with our Second Issue coming there soon!

A CLOSER LOOK: THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE
"THINK OCCASIONALLY OF THE SUFFERING OF WHICH YOU SPARE YOURSELF THE SIGHT," philosopher Albert Schweitzer once famously said. In the new documentary The Ghosts in Our Machine, we are asked to look directly at what society routinely averts its gaze from—the lives of the animals we share this planet with. In reality, of course, as this film shows—"sharing" is inaccurate. With over 150 billion animals killed for human consumption annually, and billions more killed for fashion, in vivisection, and exploited for entertainment—"dominating" is a more fitting description of our relationship with our fellow earthlings. Nearly every global industry profits off of the bodies of animals. The film urges the viewer to consider the pain behind ubiquitous things like a pair of leather shoes; the container of milk at the supermarket; a household cleaning product; the circus tent, or the aquarium. The Ghosts in Our Machine arrives at a timely moment, when we as a society are starting to more actively address the moral conundrum and the injustice of hurting animals for our perceived benefit. The film follows renown photographer Jo-Anne McArthur, as she tirelessly documents animals in captivity and in freedom over the course of a year. Through her journey, we discover not only the gravity of animal suffering, but also the depth of animal sentience, as well as our undeniable bond with animals. Here, director Liz Marshall, who has been creating social justice-related projects for close to two decades, offers us some insights into her latest film.
One can't say that this documentary is about animals alone, with Jo as a protagonist. It's also about the human-animal experience. Was that the goal? To make the subject matter more relatable to those unfamiliar with the situation by showing it though the eyes of a compassionate person?
As a social-issue filmmaker I look for creative engaging ways to tell complicated stories, with the hope of elevating tough issues. Not an easy task. It is an issue film, yes, but it is also a cinematic narrative about a photographer. The sentience of animals is at the heart of the film and the sentience of Jo-Anne McArthur is the connective thread that weaves the stories of animal enslavement and liberation together. Through Jo's heart and lens we meet a cast of nonhuman animals. My instinct to feature Jo as the films' protagonist was the narrative device that helped me get clearer about the vision I wanted for the film. I knew I wanted the film to focus on the four main animal industries: Food; Research; Fashion and Entertainment, but was looking for a story. Anchoring the issues through an accessible human story of courage and purpose was a way for us all (including the cinematographers and editors) to illustrate ideas and values (like empathy), by showing and not telling.
By changing just one word ("the" to "our"), the title turned a common expression into something deeply reflexive and compelling. But did you ever worry that our fearful cultural associations with the word "ghosts" could misconstrue the title for anyone? Or has that word and title in fact worked to your advantage in bringing more attention to the plight of animals?
Thanks. I love the reflexivity of the title – and believe me I laboured over it – tossed and turned at night! 'ghost in the machine' is a common phrase, like 'return to sender', I made sure to get legal consultation about this title issue and then we did a professional name search as well, for insurance purposes, because the title was just too important and I wanted to lock into it with confidence during our development phase! I wanted a variation on the phrase, so that we aren't looking outward, wagging a finger at someone or some corporate entity, but rather looking at ourselves: Oh, I am part of the machine! Aha! What can I do about that? Also, importantly, a good title inspires the filmmaking process. THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE is a conceptual title and it is always with me, informing the project. The 'ghosts' are the billions of animals used within the machine of our modern world; they are hidden in the shadows of our highly mechanized world.

What did you learn about animals that you didn't know before you set off
on this path?
A lot. About their moral significance. About their sentience, as defined by the latest scientific reports. About the global magnitude of their suffering. These are things I knew about before, and had sensitivity to, but in living and breathing this project for almost 3 years now, I know it more deeply, as do other key members of our team. Also, I got to spend time with rescued animals, and form relationships with some of them. It was mind blowing to know Fanny, a former spent dairy cow featured in the film. She is remarkable, so unique and gentle. I miss her and hope to see her at Farm Sanctuary again soon!
And similarly, what did you learn about yourself?
I think I have learned a lot about myself. On a personal level I have learned that it is possible and so vital and important to embrace and connect all forms of social justice: human rights, environmental rights and animal rights. They are interconnected. I didn't really know that was entirely possible before but do now! On a professional level, I can see that the years and years I have spent (well I am not that old, but since 1995) honing the craft and exploring the language of documentary, and traveling the world with projects, and exploring social issues, I feel that everything has come together with this project. And how that manifests is that I am at peace with the film, it is the film I wanted to make. With other films, there was always something nagging at me that I wanted to change. Don't get me wrong, there are some details in the film that I would love to change, but I can live with them, I am at peace. Also, the experience of working within this genre and industry has given me added incentive and determination to try to do everything we possibly can to make an impact with this project.
Do you feel like you have a different purpose as a filmmaker now?
Not a different purpose no, but a more defined one. My next project won't be a romantic comedy, let's put it that way!
Any future plans to make more films on the subject of animals?
I can't imagine what it could be … There are many many films about the subject of animals to be made, and they will be made. This my offering, for the ghosts.
The Ghosts in Our Machine is currently screening in Canada, and preparing for its release in the United States. The filmmakers are seeking investors to ensure the widest release possible and are also accepting donations.

TEAM – Together Everyone Achieves More
Ambitious, energetic, but quiet on the culture wars – a year on from Johnson's "stonking" majority, what have we learned?
Tomorrow it will be a year since Boris Johnson won his "stonking mandate" in the general election, and what a year it has been. From managing the Coronavirus crisis, to becoming gravely ill with it himself, to his quest for a Brexit trade deal, to dealing with calls for a second Scottish independence referendum, it's impossible to summarise every aspect of his premiership in one article. But here, at least, are some takeaways from 2020, and what we have learnt from them.
Even Johnson's biggest enemies would struggle to deny that he has shown huge levels of dynamism during this year, epitomised by the fact that he tried to soldier on during his initial fight with Coronavirus. Alongside becoming a father again, he has had to juggle a pandemic, and one of the most complex negotiations of all time, while also trying to spark a green industrial revolution. In an article for The Times earlier this year, James Marriott explained: "Energy is the central principle of Johnson's career".
On this note, it will be interesting to see what projects Johnson takes on in 2021, and how much these will cost. The Government has, of course, had to invest huge sums of money in PPE, the furlough scheme and other Coronavirus measures, but 2021 will see much more pressure on ministers to explain how they're going to pay for all this, particularly with the emergence of the COVID Recovery Group, which has immense concerns about the economic price of lockdown.
Johnson's £12 billion plan for the environment, in particular, is one that will continue to attract criticism, not only about its viability but affordability in a time of national emergency. Nigel Lawson recently called it "absolutely mad" and "crazy". "I think you have to see it to a certain extent in the psychology of Boris Johnson, who loves big projects irrespective of the cost", said the former Tory chancellor, in a description that's hard to deny given Johnson's current plans.
More of a moderate than his critics think
Last year, a number of commentators accused Johnson of being "hard right" and a dictator. Then, without any sense of irony, they were incensed when he became one of the last leaders in Europe to impose a lockdown. Now that he has implemented draconian measures, it turns out the people most likely to call him a dictator are predominantly on the Right (and against lockdown).
Once famous for his libertarianism, Johnson's personal philosophy has been tested greatly by this crisis, and he comes out of it as a politician more inclined to compromise than his enemies might like to admit. This has not only been the case with lockdown, but with other issues, such as the Government's obesity strategy. It could best be described as a "halfway house" designed to please libertarians and interventionists, which many will not have expected from a man who previously promised to review sin taxes. How this personality trait plays out in the last stages of Brexit negotiations will be interesting to see.
Relaxed on immigration
Johnson's attitude to immigration and asylum is much more liberal than the media suggests. During his time as Mayor of London, he called for earned amnesty for an estimated 400,000 people living illegally in London, and his premiership has already seen him introduce a set of relaxed policies.
In September, for instance, he reversed a decision made by Theresa May that forced overseas students to leave four months after they finished their degrees (they can now stay in the UK for two years). In an even more significant move, he offered three million Hong Kong citizens over to the UK, following China's introduction of a new draconian security law.
More recently, and discreetly, he abandoned net migration targets. As I wrote for ConservativeHome earlier in the year, Johnson "is averse to using numbers" in this regard "viewing them as an arbitrary measure of how successful an immigration system is." How this goes down with voters who wanted to "take back control" remains to be seen.
Quiet on the culture war
Given Johnson's career in journalism, including being Editor of The Spectator from 1999 to 2005, he has been uncharacteristically quiet on the culture wars. Perhaps he is taking a leaf out of Keir Starmer's book, who has reportedly been told not to get involved in them by Joe Biden's campaign team.
But many people would like the Prime Minister to adopt a more definitive position on these matters, particularly after a summer in which they watched Churchill's statue defaced under the guise of anti-racism, and Sadiq Khan create a "Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm" to decide what legacies should be celebrated in London.
Some of the most contentious societal issues seem to have been delegated to other Tories. Liz Truss, for instance, has been fighting against the concept of self-identification for one's gender, Kemi Badenoch made a powerful stand against Critical Race Theory, and the Department of Education has asked universities to prove their commitment to free speech in order to receive Coronavirus-related funding. All of these steps matter, but Johnson needs to be more vocal on these issues, otherwise outsider parties might use them to make headway in the next general election.
An underestimated trait
Something underestimated about Johnson's premiership is that he has exhibited huge loyalty in challenging situations. In spite of the fact they eventually parted ways, the Prime Minister stood by Dominic Cummings following his trip to Barnard Castle, and during the time Priti Patel was accused of bullying, though his words were mocked, Johnson called for MPs to "form a square around the prittster." When defending his team, Johnson is able to weather the media storm best.
On details
One of the common criticisms of Johnson is that he's not a "details" person. Coronavirus presented huge challenges, with Johnson accused of implementing lockdown too late, not ordering enough PPE and overseeing a flawed Test and Trace programme. No doubt mistakes have been made and this has been a terrible time.
But the Government has also been able to pull off huge logistical challenges, from increasing the number of Coronavirus tests up by hundreds of thousands, to ordering 350 million vaccines – in what was, actually, an enormous gamble (that has since paid off).
The most significant test for Johnson will come this weekend. Can he get Brexit done? As with lockdown and the obesity strategy, we could see another move towards compromise, although whether it pleases Remainers or Leavers remains to be seen. On the other hand, given Johnson's propensity towards huge projects, do not be surprised if No Deal fits the bill.

Calm has set in once again and an opportunity to wish all our readers BEST WISHES FOR 2010.
After a diving tour around the Northern coast of Phuket, Mike, the Pangaea crew and some members of his family headed back to Phuket for the New Year celebrations. Avoiding the crowds onshore, the team decided to celebrate in true Thai style while observing the spectacular array of fireworks from Pangaea, situated 100 meters off Patong Beach.
The Thai food went down a treat with a bottle of Mumm Champagne and as tradition has it, we lit the lantern (the 'Happy' or 'Good Luck' lantern) to make all our wishes come true in 2010.
Our wishes are many and do not differ much to our dreams and aspirations of 2009. We wish to have a great continuation of the Pangaea Project. In 2009 we saw the Pangaea Project develop from a dream into a recognised global action project with youths and followers supporting us from all around the world. We thank our friends, partners and supporters for their continued support and enthusiasm and together we will continue to reach out to more and more people, enlightening youths from around the world about the beauty of Nature and acting towards bettering the future of our planet.
