Well Lincoln City, are promoted to League 1, this was confirmed after last weekend's draw against Cheltenham and thanks to results elsewhere, with MK Dons surprisingly losing to Tranmere Rovers.
So that leaves a very intriguing race for the remaining two automatic promotion places, between the following teams.
There are only 3 points seperating Bury from Tranmere, and given the way the seasons has unfolded to this point, you would have to be a very wise man to bet with any certainty on who would take the remaining 2 places.
On paper, you could say that MK Dons, would be one of the two favourites to sneak a place, but this is tempered by the fact that out of the above teams on current form, they have won just 2 of their last 6 and in the current form table lie, 16th, and have 12 defeats in total.
That is one place above Bury, who have an idential form record to MK Dons having won just twice in the last 6 and have 10 defeats all season.
Mansfield, who on current form lie in 12th Posistion, due to the fact that they have lost only 7 matches all season.
That leaves just Tranmere Rovers, who are enjoying a good season, following their promotion from the National League Last season and who on current form sit second in the league, with just 1 defeat in the last 6 and 11 overall.
So as you can see, its a close call, the only consistency, given that this is a promotion race is the fact that all the teams, instead of being on winning runs as Lincoln are, are doing the opposite and losing at the wrong time.
However, given the depth of the squads involved, you would have to say that both.
MK Dons and Bury, would be the two teams more likely to scrape over the line.

Q: SSH -L Tunnel no longer working Local machine running my scripts needs to access a remote server's DB.
Last week I could do, on the local machine
ssh -f -N -T -L1081:localhost:3306 ueser@remoteserver -p2222
on the local machine:
# netstat -an | egrep "tcp.*:1081.*"
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:1081          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 ::1:1081                :::*                    LISTEN

then telling my scripts to use port 1081 for mysql connections worked. This netstat command shows me im accepting connections fine on the local side but the same check on the remote machine the one with the actual mysql server is not listening in on 1081 at all, which wasn't the case before
I checked sshd_config which seems to allow tunnelling, that is no config change.
I also tried opening a tunnel to another server on my network and that's also not working, is my command crap or something? Tried with various combinations of  -f -T

A: I have drawn some sketches
The machine, where the ssh tunnel command is typed is called »your host«.

Introduction

*

*local: -L Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side.
ssh -L sourcePort:forwardToHost:onPort connectToHost means: connect with ssh to connectToHost, and forward all connection attempts to the local sourcePort to port onPort on the machine called forwardToHost, which can be reached from the connectToHost machine.

*remote: -R Specifies that the given port on the remote (server) host is to be forwarded to the given host and port on the local side.
ssh -R sourcePort:forwardToHost:onPort connectToHost means: connect with ssh to connectToHost, and forward all connection attempts to the remote sourcePort to port onPort on the machine called forwardToHost, which can be reached from your local machine.
Additional options

*

*-f tells ssh to background itself after it authenticates, so you don't have to sit around running something on the remote server for the tunnel to remain alive.

*-N says that you want an SSH connection, but you don't actually want to run any remote commands. If all you're creating is a tunnel, then including this option saves resources.

*-T disables pseudo-tty allocation, which is appropriate because you're not trying to create an interactive shell.

Your example
The first image represents your case. If you do
ssh -L 1081:localhost:3306 remotehost

all connection attempts to the green port 1081 are forwarded through the ssh tunnel to the pink port 3306 on the remotehost's localhost, i.e. the remotehost itself.
Now your php scripts can access your database via localhost:1081. But the netstat command on your remotehost can't find anything listening at 1081 (at least not as a result of the tunnel).
Because the pink port isn't a listening port created by ssh, but the target of the forwarding. And it is not forwarding to port 1081 but to 3306.
Is your db server really listening on port 3306 or possibly on port 1081? If the latter is true, then your command should be changed to look like this:
ssh -L 1081:localhost:1081 remotehost

If your database listens on port 1081 you should find it with netstat (independently of ssh).

A: You wouldn't expect the remote side to be listening on port 1081.  You're asking the tunnel to connect to port 3306 on the remote side, and this is mysql's default port.  It might be worth checking that it is actually listening on that port.  Alternatively, if you actually want to use port 1081 on both sides, substitute your -L option with -L1081:localhost:1081.

WTO Deal on Fishing Subsidies May Reduce Ocean Overfishing

Issue Backgrounder: WTO Deal on Fishing Subsidies May Reduce Ocean Overfishing
By Joseph A. Davis
An agreement just inked by 164 nations in the World Trade Organization that aims to dampen the most harmful subsidies that encourage global overfishing may make for an environmental reporting bounty in the next few years.
The deal, clinched in Geneva, Switzerland, in the early hours of June 17, was a compromise that left some nations and conservationists unsatisfied. Others viewed it as an accomplishment, given that it had taken more than 20 years to negotiate under the framework of the WTO.
The agreement will not take effect until two-thirds of the WTO members ratify it — by depositing their "instruments of acceptance" with the WTO. The ministers who met in Geneva will meet again in two years, at which time they may be able to develop the agreement further.
Global protein stock overfished
The issues the deal addresses are critically important, since many of the world's billions of people get their protein from marine fisheries, with fish providing 20% of animal protein needs for 3.3 billion.
Yet the Food and Agriculture Organization, a U.N. body, estimated that 34% of global stocks are currently overfished, compared to 10% in 1974. In all, experts estimate that some 90% of all marine fish stocks are fully exploited or overfished.
Subsidies make things worse in a number of ways, driving unsustainable fishing. A 2018 study showed that without government subsidies, up to 54% of high seas fishing grounds would be unprofitable.
Industrial vs. small-scale fishing
Because there are many kinds of marine fishing, one way to look at the issue is via the contrast between industrial fishing and smaller-scale, artisanal fishing. Through this lens, it can become an environmental justice issue (although that, too, can be an oversimplification.)
Along coasts all over the world — from Goa, India, to Gloucester, Massachusetts — fishers from local villages have traditionally gone out on short trips in small boats, caught fairly small catches, sold them locally or at the dock, and sustained their families and communities. Often they stay within their nation's exclusive economic zone.
Large ships have plied international waters far from
their home ports, catching huge amounts of fish.
Some use destructive methods like bottom trawling.
By contrast, large ships (fleets, even including processing and refrigeration ships) have plied international waters far from their home ports, catching huge amounts of fish. Some use destructive methods like bottom trawling.
On the high seas, in international waters, the reach of the law is attenuated. What law there is goes through a network of 17 regional fishery management organizations, or RFMOs. But RFMOs do not cover all fisheries and not everyone obeys their rules.
'Worst offenders' on subsidies
Governments subsidize marine fisheries in many ways, including by offering below-market pricing for fuel, gear and vessels, as well as building ports and providing various tax breaks.
Estimates vary as to the total amount of government subsidies to fishing operations. Pew Charitable Trusts, a think tank that advocates reform, estimates global total subsidies at the equivalent of $35 billion a year — of which $22 billion are "harmful subsidies" that promote unsustainable fishing.
China is by far the worst offender. Its "harmful subsidies" amount to several times the amount from the next-highest, the European Union. Overall, seven entities account for over two-thirds of the harmful subsidies worldwide, according to Pew: China, Japan, the EU, South Korea, Russia, the United States and Thailand.
What the WTO agreement does
The agreement:
limits subsidies for illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing;
limits subsidies for fishing of overfished stocks;
limits subsidies to vessels fishing on unregulated high seas; and
includes measures to enhance transparency and accountability.
Governments agreed to continue negotiation over further rules to limit harmful fishing.
Reporting resources
Here are some of the players who may make good sources.
World Trade Organization: The international body that negotiates trade issues among governments. It has a lot of information about fisheries.
Pew Charitable Trusts: A think tank that advocates through its "Reducing Harmful Fisheries Subsidies" project. The organization had strongly advocated for the WTO deal and said it was pleased that the agreement had been reached.
Oceana: A nonprofit advocacy group focused on ocean conservation. The group said the WTO deal "falls short of the target" because too much had been given away to get the final agreement.
International Institute for Sustainable Development: An independent think tank devoted to sustainability.
International Coalition of Fisheries Associations: A federation of fishing industry trade groups.

One of the downsides to long term living with HIV and taking HIV medications is the increased risk of strokes and heart attacks. Today I will be talking on this issue again.
People with HIV have more than four times the risk of sudden cardiac death than the general population, researchers reported.
In a large cohort of HIV-positive people in San Francisco, the mean rate of sudden cardiac death over a 10-year period was 2.6 per 1,000 person-years, according to Zian Tseng, MD, of the University of California San Francisco, and colleagues.
That was 4.46 times higher than expected given the background rate of sudden cardiac death in the city (6.73 based on 2007 rate and population), Tseng and colleagues reported in the May 15 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
The underlying mechanism that causes the increased risk remains unclear, the researchers noted, but the findings suggest that physicians treating HIV patients should be aware of the danger.
The study arose out of earlier research into sudden death in San Francisco, Tseng said in a statement.
"I noticed that many of these cases involved individuals with HIV infection who were dying suddenly," he said. "I wondered if there was some sort of connection there."
To find out, he and colleagues studied medical records of 2,860 consecutive HIV patients, all at least 18-years-old, enrolled between April 1, 2000, and Aug. 31, 2009 at a public HIV clinic in San Francisco.
Over a median follow-up of 3.7 years, there were 230 deaths in the cohort. Most of those, as expected, were from AIDS (131 or 57%), 30 (13%) met criteria for sudden cardiac death. There were also 25 deaths from other natural disease and 44 from overdose, suicide, or unknown cause.
All told, the 30 sudden cardiac deaths accounted for 86% of all 35 cardiac deaths, the researchers found.
Patients who died of sudden cardiac death were older than those who died of AIDS, had more robust immune systems, and had lower viral loads. Specifically, the average age of people who died of AIDS was 44.9, compared with 49 for those who had a sudden cardiac death. The difference was significant at P<0.02.
Also, the median count of CD4-positive T cells was 87 cells/mm3 of blood for those who died of AIDS, compared with 312 cells/mm3 of blood for those who had sudden cardiac death. The difference was highly significant at P=0.0001.
And for those who died of AIDS, the median plasma viral load was 4.8 log10 copies of HIV RNA/mm versus 3.8 log10 copies of HIV RNA/mm for those who had sudden cardiac death. The difference was significant at P=0.009.
Those findings suggest that patients are at risk for sudden cardiac death "even in the setting of mild HIV disease," the researchers argued.
On the other hand, some risk factors were evident, they reported.
Tseng and colleagues cautioned that the study was retrospective and it is possible that the rate of sudden cardiac death was over-estimated. Nor did chart data allow extraction of the duration of antiretroviral treatment, which might be a risk factor.
Finally, they noted, patients with prevalent cardiovascular disease were over-represented in the cohort, which might have affected the outcome.
They called for further studies to look at the underlying mechanisms in this patient population, "which may include inflammation, antiretroviral therapy interruption, and concomitant medications," they said.
Now you know the rest of the story. Hope you have a safe and great Thursday!

Don't buy vehicles with no import duty - GRA cautions public
Date: Nov - 26 - 2020 , 10:40
BY: Pacome Emmanuel Damalie
The Eastern Regional Office of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has cautioned the public against purchasing vehicles from importers who fail to pay import duties on their vehicles.
The Assistant Commissioner (AC) of the Custom Division of the GRA in the Eastern Region, Ms. Agnes Moddey, said some importers had created and were taking advantage of unapproved routes, especially at the eastern frontiers, to smuggle in cars to avoid payment of import duties.
In an encounter with the media last Saturday, she said the situation had placed the GRA on alert to hunt for vehicles that did not go through due process.
She lamented that usually unsuspecting buyers bore the ultimate penalty because they found themselves at the wrong side of the law.
Ms. Moddey urged the public to do thorough checks to ascertain the authenticity of vehicle documents from the GRA offices before purchasing them from importers.
The Head of Medium Tax Office (MTO) of the GRA in the Eastern Region, AC Joseph Asare, expressed optimism that the outfit could meet the revised revenue target despite the outbreak of COVID-19 which interrupted commercial activities for most part of the year.
"Businesses have slacked and it has impacted revenue generation, but we are making headway. We are sure the revised target would be met before the end of the year despite the prevalence of COVID-19," he said.
He added that the GRA had been working on the integration of the Tax Identification Number (TIN) and the National Identification Card from next year as projected by Vice-President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, to facilitate tracking and revenue generation.

Former FARC Fighters Make For Hot New Hires
Gangs look to recruit seasoned leftist rebels

In 2016, Colombia's FARC guerrilla army — which had waged the world's longest-running insurgency — officially agreed to cease hostilities with the Colombian government and demobilize. But not all members of the group accepted the agreement.
There have been bloody clashes between rival factions and competition for lucrative criminal enterprises, including drug trafficking and illegal mining, which the FARC once managed. Now several South American criminal groups are in a bidding war for the services of FARC dissidents and the smuggling groups they once controlled.
One of the groups looking to recruit FARC guerrillas is the Brazilian crime empire Primeiro Comando da Capita. It's the largest criminal organization in Brazil, and quite possibly the largest in South America.
The PCC got its start as a prison gang. Forming in direct response to the 1992 Carandiru Massacre — when Sao Paulo military police killed more than 100 prisoners — the gang fought for better prison conditions and prisoners' rights.
In 2001 the PCC coordinated simultaneous rebellions in 29 Sao Paulo state prisons. The group gained public notoriety after a wave of violence in May 2006, during which gang members attacked police and staged numerous prison revolts. Thirty cops, 21 civilians and 79 suspected PCC members died in the clashes.
The group's founding manifesto explicitly forbids mugging, rape. Members are not allowed to use the PCC to resolve personal conflicts. Many experts assert that the PCC continues to pursue its core mission, trying to improve prison conditions.

However, the group also engages in drug trafficking and other criminal activities, ostensibly to increase the organization's influence and funding. In some cases, this drug money supports members' families and also pays for former prisoners to attend law school, after which they can advocate for reform.
Over the years, PCC's moneymaking enterprises have moved to the forefront, often resulting in conflict with other criminal gangs — not only in Brazil, but across Latin America.
In March 2014, Brazilian authorities seized a 3.7 tons of cocaine from São Paulo's biggest port. Brazilian federal prosecutors later reported there was evidence that PCC members were working with the Italian 'Ndrangheta mafia to coordinate the shipment to Europe.
The PCC seems to hope it can capitalize on FARC guerillas' expertise as the group expands its operations.
"There are multiple reasons why the PCC would be interested in aligning with FARC dissidents," the U.S. Army Foreign Military Studies Office's monthly magazine O.E. Watch noted in its March 2017 issue. "These include the opportunity to receive weapons and training needed to fight against Brazil's armed forces, and control of key trafficking routes in Colombia."
"With a presence in two-thirds of Brazil, the PCC is currently considered Brazil's largest and most powerful criminal group. It also maintains powerful ties with criminal groups in Bolivia and Paraguay."
The Colombian government currently estimates there are somewhere between 150 and 300 FARC dissidents that the PCC could try to recruit. The PCC is particularly interested in two key FARC leaders — Gentil Duarte and Francisco Javier Builes, a.k.a. John 40.
O.E. Watch claimed that John 40 is the bigger prize. He was a powerful leader within the FARC and directed the group's financial operations.
But the PCC isn't the only group interested in hiring former FARC guerillas — nor the only group interested in taking over old FARC smuggling routes. Significantly, the FARC already had ties to the Brazilian Família do Norte, a group the PCC has feuded with in the past.
Various criminal groups are vying for control of the drug trade in FARC territories as the group splinters. In January 2017, at least four different criminal groups battled for control of the formerly FARC-controlled port town of Tumaco. One of those factions is the Urabeños group.
On Jan. 25, 2017, Colombian attorney general Néstor Humberto Martínez told reporters that the Urabeños is offering a monthly salary of 1.8 million Colombian pesos — roughly $600 — to any FARC dissidents willing to join. The Urabeños, also known as "Clan Usuga," is considered one of Colombia's last criminal organizations with a truly national reach, as well of one of its most ruthless syndicates.
Under the leadership of kingpin Dario Antonio Usuga, better known as "Otoniel," the group has some 2,000 active members spread throughout the country. It maintains relationships with Mexican drug trafficking groups — notably the Sinaloa Cartel and Zetas —in order to move cocaine north.
The Colombian government has been aggressively pursuing the Urabeños, but Otoniel has managed to avoid capture so far. According to El Espectador, there's evidence that the Urabeños in Antioquia may have forged ties with corrupt members of the Colombian military.
Local leaders in Antioquia alleged that illegal miners are using explosive materials that they could only have obtained from the government-controlled Indumil defense company. It's not clear that FARC rebels would be enthusiastic about working with the military they'd fought against for so many years if they went to work for the Urabeños.
But at the end of the day, the drug business is a business. And it's a business that has lead to stranger alliances before.

Lagos State, Nigeria's commercial capital, has been ranked as second world's least liveable city.
It ranked second behind Damascus in an annual report by The Economist, which placed Melbourne, Australia, as the world's most liveable city for the seventh year running.
The Lagos rating was a fall from the third position from the bottom as contained in the 2016 report.
The 2017 'Global Liveability Report', which was released on Wednesday by The Economist's Intelligence Unit, stated that terrorism and diplomatic tensions were eroding living conditions worldwide.
The report was premised on the criteria of stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.
The "overall rating" of Lagos State stood at 36 per cent with stability, pegged at 10 per cent; healthcare, 37.5 per cent; culture and environment, 53.5 per cent; education, 33.3 per cent and infrastructure, 46.4 per cent.
Agence France Presse reports that conflict and terrorism were the major factors responsible for those cities finishing on the bottom of the survey.
"Violent acts of terrorism have been reported in many countries, including Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, France, Pakistan, Sweden, Turkey, the UK and the US.
"While not a new phenomenon, the frequency and spread of terrorism have increased noticeably and become even more prominent," the report added.
Melbrourne, the Australian city was ranked number one out of 140 cities, slightly ahead of the Austrian capital Vienna, with the Canadian trio of Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary completing the top five.
The survey revealed that medium-sized cities in wealthy countries fared best.
Major hubs like New York, London, Paris and Tokyo which were hives of activity reportedly lost points due to high levels of crime and overcrowded public transport.

Late homer lifts A's over Astros
HOUSTON - The Oakland Athletics weren't concerned when they were down by two runs entering the seventh inning on Wednesday against the Houston Astros.
They hit three homers after the seventh inning in the first two games of the series combined and saw no reason their late flashes of power would stop in this one.
Coco Crisp hit a two-run homer in Oakland's three-run seventh inning to help the Athletics to a 4-3 win over the Astros on Wednesday.
"What it does is it gives us the confidence that we can come back," manager Bob Melvin said of the late homers. "And then we know that when we get a guy on base we're one hit away from being in a better position than we were."
The A's trailed by two before an RBI double by Eric Sogard with one out cut the deficit to 3-2 and chased starter Bud Norris. Crisp launched his home run off Travis Blackley (1-1) to the Crawford Boxes in left field to put Oakland on top.
"I don't think we rely on home runs, we just got up there and battle," Crisp said. "It just so happens that's how this series broke down. We just go out there and battle and try to manufacture runs in any way that we can."
Blackley was disappointed that he didn't execute against Crisp.
"I just didn't do my job," he said. "I got ahead like I was trying to do and I just left one about three inches too high and he did his job well and took care of it."
John Jaso had a solo homer in the first inning for the A's, who have won 11 of 12 against Houston this season. It was the 21st win for Oakland in a one-run game which is the most in the American League.
A.J. Griffin (9-7) allowed six hits and three runs and tied a season-high with eight strikeouts in 6 1-3 innings for the win.
"I felt like I had the best stuff I've had this year," he said. "My lanes were good to the plate with all my pitches. I felt like I was doing a good job of keeping my delivery the same for every pitch.''

A: $body_node->childNodes is a DOMNodeList object, which does not implement the Countable interface. Use $body_node->childNodes->length instead of count($body_node->childNodes).
DOMNodeList does implement the Traversable interface, though, so you can loop through the child nodes using foreach.

EU deal on copyright a blow to the free internet
On the 13 February 2019, trilogue negotiations on the Copyright Directive have just finalised a text containing a worrying version of Article 11, on the link tax, and the most negative version of Article 13, concerning upload filters, to date. It goes beyond any text the Parliament has previously agreed to by including even small businesses in the controversial upload filter provision, which were previously excluded by Parliament.
Negotiators also watered down the authors' right to proportionate remuneration to the point of being useless, by explicitly allowing total buy-out contracts in the final text.
The Greens/EFA group will now fight to have the link tax and upload filters rejected in the final plenary vote before the end of the Parliamentary term.
Julia Reda, Greens/EFA Vice President and shadow rapporteur on the Copyright Directive comments:
"This deal is a threat to small publishers, authors and internet users alike and risks putting the internet as we know it solely in the hands of the tech and media giants. Upload filters do not work as algorithms simply cannot tell the difference between copyright infringements and legal parodies. Even the most sophisticated upload filters routinely block perfectly legal content. Requiring platforms to use upload filters would not just lead to more frequent blocking of legal uploads, it would also make life difficult for smaller platforms that cannot afford filtering software.
"The narrow majority for Article 13 that rapporteur Axel Voss managed to secure back in September was only possible due to an exemption for small businesses, which he has now rolled back on in siding with France and Germany during the negotiations. The content of the deal on the table no longer resembles what the Parliament voted for. We urge the whole Parliament to reject the Directive's most harmful Articles 11 and 13 on the link tax and upload filters.
"Today's news is a backwards step for freedom of expression online, but it's not the end of the road, we can still fight against damaging upload filters and a link tax. We need to send a clear message that we want to protect authors' rights as well as users and small publishers."
The compromise on Article 13 mirrors the German-French deal, which will force all for-profit sites and apps where users may share content to install upload filters, except services which fit all very narrow criteria of: being available to the public for less than three years, having an annual turnover below €10 million, and fewer than five million unique monthly visitors. The version of the link tax which was approved is extremely worrying and excludes "single words or very short extracts". This result will undoubtedly limit access to news and drive small online newspapers out of business.
The final vote in plenary could be as soon as 25-28 March, 4 April, or at the latest 15-18 April.

Q: Javascript UI isn't working This problem is caused by my acknowledge of English and jQuery or maybe something else.
I was using tutorial for jQuery - http://blog.bernatfarrero.com/jquery-and-rails-3-mini-tutorial/ .
In my application.erb.html:
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults, "rails.validations", "rails.validations.custom" %>
<%=  javascript_include_tag  "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"%>
<%=javascript_include_tag  "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.min.js"%>

I think I didn't included some library because my page in view.
But my page looks like:
    0 Comments
    Say something!

EDITED
My generator didn't created js files,so I created file rails.validations.custom.js and added code from GitHub:
   ClientSideValidations.validators.local['email'] = function(element, options) {
    // Your validator code goes in here
      if (!/^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/i.test(element.val())) {
    // When the value fails to pass validation you need to return the error message.
    // It can be derived from validator.message
    return options.message;
      }
    }

A: The comments thread for the question is getting long, so I'm going to create an answer.
We have established by looking at the firebug console that two of your JavaScript files are not where your application expects them to be:
/assets/defaults.js
/assets/rails.validations.custom.js

What you need to do is either move those two files to the /assets directory, or modify the file path to point to the location where those two files actually reside.
I'm not a rails guy, but here is my guess about how you might do that:
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults, "/js/rails.validations", "/js/rails.validations.custom" %>

I think this would look for the files in /assets/js directory, but obviously you would need to modify the path to point at the actual location of you files. I'm sure a rails developer will chime in and tell me if I've got the wrong end of the stick!


"Most importantly, the wellbeing and safety of people helped by social workers will be increased.
"The changes to mandatory reporting come into force progressively over the next two years, and mean that members of the public can have greater confidence that social workers will be properly qualified and subject to professional standards and competence requirements.
"The Social Work Alliance, a cross-sector representative body of social workers, was essential to the passage of this bill and ensuring we had legislation that was fit for purpose and backed by the sector. I want to thank all of those people who contributed to the bill and have helped us pass a truly transformative piece of legislation.
"Social workers undertake difficult and challenging work with people who are often highly vulnerable. Their contribution to our communities should be trusted, valued, and respected. The legislative changes will contribute to this happening. I want to acknowledge the tremendous contribution made by members of the sector in shaping this legislation" Carmel Sepuloni said.

Homo Noeticus è un concetto che sintetizza una profezia antropologica sostenuta da Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, che vede l'Homo Noeticus come punto di arrivo ("uomo nuovo") del futuro processo evolutivo della specie umana.

Il termine Homo Noeticus è stato usato da alcuni esponenti delle correnti New Age per riferirsi ad uno stadio evolutivo futuro dell'umanità, e.g. P. D. Ouspensky, Jan van Rijckenborgh e Rudolf Steiner.

Descrizione della profezia

In Teilhard de Chardin tale profezia è maturata dall'impegno nel coniugare la fede cristiana con la ricerca nel campo della paleontologia. Nella sua visione del futuro dell'umanità, l'Homo Noeticus, risultante dall'ulteriore evoluzione della coscienza umana, preluderebbe alla convergenza dell'intera umanità nel Punto Omega finale, caratterizzato da una forte attrazione gravitazionale verticale rappresentato dal Cristo «evolutore», come lui lo definisce.

Attualmente altri filoni di pensiero si rifanno al concetto di Homo Noeticus, talune allontanandosi radicalmente dalla prospettiva teilhardiana e oggi il termine è ripreso dalle idee sul cyberspazio come realtà alternativa e da altre prospettive teologiche.

Wage & Hour Lawsuits Hit Record High, Put Emphasis On Labor Justice
Wage and hour lawsuits have reached historic highs across the nation, as more and more workers become aware that they have rights – and those rights aren't always respected.
Nearly 9,000 Overtime Lawsuits Filed Last Year
8,871 lawsuits cited violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, a law that sets minimum wage and overtime requirements, in the year ending September 30, 2015, according to recent statistics released by the Federal Judicial Center.
Compared to only 1,935 filed in 2000, that's a 358% increase in just 15 years. The Washington Post reports that federal lawsuits overall rose only 7% in the same time period.
Here's a look at how wage and hour suits have grown over time:
Now there's a lot of variation evidenced in these numbers, but the general trend is clear: workers are waking up to the reality of wage theft.
Why So Many Workers Are Filing Lawsuits
As overtime lawsuits continue to grow, numerous theories have been floated to explain the rise.
1. New industries have created legal "gray areas."
Just look at Uber, DoorDash or any other company in the so-called "sharing" economy. Are those drivers independent contractors or true employees? Employers unanimously say independent contractors, since it's cheaper that way, but workers argue that since companies control almost every aspect of their working lives, they should be entitled to benefits, expenses and overtime.
True to form, Uber drivers are lining up to file wage violation lawsuits against the San Francisco technology giant.
2. Unionization is on the decline.
Between 1973 and 2007, union membership among American men dropped from 34% to 8%, and membership among women fell from 16% to 6%. The same American Sociological Review that reported those numbers linked the decrease in unionization to rising levels of wage inequality. In other words, fewer workers are banding together, and employers are winning as a result.
Without unions to protect their interests, more and more individual employees are turning to the court system to get the money they've earned.
You can find the Washington Post's in-depth look at the effect of unionization on wages here.
3. The government is cracking down on illegal pay practices.
A slew of new guidances from the Department of Labor (DOL) have put the national spotlight back on fair – and unfair – labor practices. In fact, some legal pundits believe we're living in a golden age of overtime, as recent interpretations from the DOL have expanded wage rights to thousands of home health aides and workers who used to be classified as independent contractors.
For his part, President Obama has proposed to increase the overtime salary threshold from its current level of $23,660 to $50,440. That means thousands of new workers (many of whom are living below the poverty line, which is set at $24,008 right now) could be entitled to overtime very soon.
Update September 7, 2017 – Labor Department Accepts Overtime Rule Failure
Salaried workers shouldn't expect an expansion of overtime rights anytime soon. The Department of Labor, now controlled by appointees of President Trump, has allowed former-President Obama's proposed overtime rule to burn out in a Texas federal court. The rule, which was challenged by business organizations and a number of state governments, was recently struck down by Federal Judge Amos Mazzant on Thursday, August 31, 2017. The Labor Department has now said that it will not appeal Judge Mazzant's ruling. Read more here.
4. Workers are fighting for a minimum wage increase.
Advocates at the national, state and local level have been clamoring for an increase in the federal minimum wage for decades. But their voices have never been louder than they are now. That's because the minimum wage has actually gone down over time, not up.
If we adjust historical minimum wages for inflation, they peaked in 1968, nearly 50 years ago. Since the last increase, a minimum wage worker's money has lost value; someone making the minimum now can buy a little over 8% less than they would have been able to in 2009.
The Pew Research Center has a great graph to show you just how much minimum wage workers have lost over time.
Will 2016 Be Even Bigger?
All these changes mean that wage and hour lawsuits are likely to increase even more next year. Current estimates suggest that well over 9,000 overtime claims will be filed in federal courts in 2016. It's more important than ever for workers to familiarize themselves with the Fair Labor Standards Act and its protections.
If you think you're being taken advantage of, act now. Know your rights and stand up for them.

The next installment of the hidden classics of European cinema focuses on Jacques Audiard's Un héros très discret / A Self-Made Hero (1996). Audiard is now a well-established figure both in French cinema and internationally, with a range of awards, Oscar nomination and box-office success for films such as A Prophet (2009) and Rust and Bone (2012). However, at the time of the release of his second fearure, A Self-Made Hero, he was perhaps best known for being the son of the celebrated French screenwirter Michel Audiard. This screening at the Picture House offers a rare chance to see the film brought Audiard to the attention of a wider audience both in France and internationally on the big screen. A Self-Made Hero is also a notable film due to the casting of the enfant terrible of French cinema of the 1990s, director and actor Mathieu Kassovitz. To the surprise of many crticis and spectators, Kassovitz carried the starring role with aplomb. A Self-made hero confirmed Kassovitz's status as an screen actor of considerbale subtlty and quality – a fact that continues to be overlooked in France today.
A Self-Made Hero tells the story of Albert Dehousse, a young man exempted from military service and oblivious to the resistance activities of his wife during the occupation. After the war has ended, Dehousse decides to leave his home and family for Paris in order to fabricate a heroic past for himself as a resistance activist – a past the strangers and authorities around him, desperate to invest in myth of national resistance under Nazi occupation, are only to keen to validate. Audiard's exploration of the 'great lie' of France as a war resister was hardly a new departure, having been dealt with by historians as well as filmmakers since at least the early-1970s. However, the film offers a significant commentary on the selective process of memorializing history and the construction of a collective past that continued to take place in France during the 1990s. Moreover, A Self-Made Hero's treatment of the myth of France as a nation united in its resistance to Nazi Occupation during the Second World War remained highly topical at the time of release given revelations im France during the 1990s relating to outgoing French President Mitterrand's links to the Vichy government during the occupation, as well as the trial a year after the film's release of former Paris police chief, Maurice Papon, for his involvement in the deportation of French Jews to Nazi concentration camps.
As interesting as the film's exploration of French history past may be, A Self-Made hero offers, above all, a beautifully crafted screenplay (where heritage film meets melodrama and political thriller) combined with assured direction from Audiard that draws excellent performances from the film's cast. A Self-made hero provides a subtle and engaging exploration of deception and myth-making: considering the extent that an individual will go to create a new life and heroic identity for himself and the extent to which, when it feels that it needs to, society is only too willing to accept the lie that it is being sold.

Clearly it is not a stretch for me to have lots to say and forgive me for not blogging lately. Our Melting Pot has been stirring up so much, I haven't opted for the pure pleasure lately of telling stories here...but oh, we had fabulous tours this last Friday and Saturday so kindly settle in for some yummy tales!
On Friday we welcomed a lovely family of 3 from Cincinnati and herein I learned of the Cincinnati Chili company - which food signature Lisa and I are well familiar with, both from our birth family (my cousin is married to a wonderful man from Cincy), and our extended family which would be the Robertos. LuAnn Roberto is our company's Art Director, Creative Genius, and all-around savior at times...and Cincinnati is her hometown.
The granddaughter of the Skyline Chili's founder was my guest, visiting LA for the week with her husband and son. Here is a little about this grand company that was started 60 years ago, by a humble Greek immigrant family!
"In 1949, on a hilltop overlooking Cincinnati, Ohio, Nicholas Lambrinides and his sons opened a small restaurant and began serving what would soon become a Cincinnati icon--Skyline Chili. The name came from the impressive view of the city's outline against the sky and has since become synonymous with a unique dish known as Cincinnati-style chili. Today, there are more than 100 Skyline Chili restaurants in four states, a credit to the vision of Nicholas Lambrinides and his sons--men who had the determination to perfect a truly new dining experience way back in 1949."
Today this company is said to be a $100 million enterprise so, how humbled and honored was I to host its lovely people! Their Cincinnati chili (which secret recipe is said to live in a locked vault!) does have cinnamon, but not chocolate (rumored to be used in others' recipes). The influence of spices in a savory recipe makes perfect sense to me now that I know a Greek family had something to do with the tradition!
Also on Friday, the grand prize winner of our Facebook "Amazing Foodie Race" contest, Antoine Maury, and his lovely girlfriend joined us for the tour. Since Antoine is from France and the Meyer family has traveled extensively through France and once bought a Paris-St Germain (Antoine's team) football jersey, there was lots of lively conversation for the duration!
And no paparrazzi!! Which was a big tipoff (for me), a few weeks ago when Jessica Alba stepped out of an SUV in front of Little Next Door and, my guests had to tell me who she was.

Comics Review – Batman Earth One, Volume 3 by Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Jon Sibal and Brad Anderson
Batman Earth One, Volume 3 was the best book I've read from Geoff Johns in quite some time! Maybe since Batman: Earth One, Volume 2. It's been 6 years (!!!) since the second volume was published and almost a decade since the first. Sometimes I wish the Earth One books would come out more regularly, but I think it might lessen the novelty.

Book Review – Avengers: Infinity Prose Novel by James A. Moore
This is the prose novelization adaption of the Infinity storyline that ran in Avengers about a decade ago. I enjoyed that story so I gave this a shot in audiobook form. It's one of the more faithful adaptations of a comic story that I've experienced. It's comprehensive and preserves almost all of the original story. And it's a good story for me.

Book Review – Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Andy Weir is back and once again he's putting the science in science fiction. Project Hail Mary is Weir's third novel, after the literary and cinematic sensation The Martian and his second book, Artemis. I enjoyed The Martian about as much as anybody. Weir has a knack for writing hard science in a way that's intriguing. I found Artemis to be a bit of a letdown. The science was there but the story wasn't. That's not a problem in Project Hail Mary. It's not only a return to form, but I found it to be his best work to date by a comfortable margin.
Book Review – Greater Good (Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy #2) by Timothy Zahn
Greater Good is the second book in the Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy by Timothy Zahn. It's a fairly unique entry in the greater Star Wars canon in that it exclusively explores Grand Admiral Thrawn's past in the Chiss Ascendancy. The Ascendancy exists completely outside the realm of the Republic or Empire.

I feel like it's not often that I'm genuinely shocked by a book the way I was by Sazan & Comet Girl. I read a lot of manga and comic books. Just an absolute ton of both. But I'd never heard of this before. Nor had I heard of the creator Yuriko Akase.

A modern casino with excellent gambling attracts many, but to go there dare not everyone. Another thing — home electronic arcade. Here and nice and safe and the costs are minimal. On how to initiate the creation of such games, says the factsheet, which draws on materials from the Bulgarian periodical "Young designer".
The electronic version of the skittle alley is equally well perceived by both adults and children. Moreover, the sharpness of points, emerging often in the course of the game, each captures so much that off-beat. Indescribable excitement overcomes!
The translation of the "playing field" of bowling alley on microraster — part plastic boxes 100×65 mm — entailed, of course, and a number of conventions. Instead of launching players the balls with well-aimed shots to bring the maximum number of points (or, conversely, directly followed by "milk" knocking-without hitting a single skittles), in the electronic version used pushes the button. With the subsequent trigger circuits and by turning the appropriate number of LEDs in a certain way are oriented on the front panel. Comparing the displayed results, find the winner.
For the implementation of an electrical circuit microthelia, its implementation into the current design does not require any particularly deep knowledge in the field of radio engineering, no hard to find parts. Four logic element IC К155ЛАЗ work in it as a generator of rectangular pulses with a frequency defined by capacitor C1 and resistor R1. From the output of DD1.4, these pulses will arrive (of course, if you press SB1) on an integrated circuit К155ИЕ5 that represents not that other, as the binary counter 16. The numbers appear in coded form. So the decoder (decoder), the duties of which are assigned to the IMS DD3.
Integrated circuit КР514ИД2 typically used to control solid state seven-segment digital indicators with separated cathodes (e.g., ALS 324В). In our case, the latter replaced by LEDs. The pins 11 and 10 DD3 they are connected not by one but by two. This gives you the opportunity to get a result as many as 16 combinations of illumination that will match different hits balls on full-sized bowling alley.
With the release of the button SB1, the counter remembers the state, where he remained in contact with the last pulse from the generator. And since the code that is submitted to the decoder, constant, and burning one, a certain set of LEDs.
Power microcephalin, according to the developers, must be supplied from patientage stable DC source. But it is quite acceptable to use ordinary "flat" the battery cell with a voltage of 4.5 V.
The advantages of the device in question can be attributed to the fact that with proper installation and adjustment work is not required.
To embed the printed circuit Board with wiring and electricity, it is recommended to use plastic housing of a suitable size. And on the front panel (cap) it is reasonable to infer LEDs under them with signed numbers dialed points SB1 and not shown on the wiring diagram power switch.
Now for the second scratch for the home game room. It is essentially an electronic version of roulette. Set in plastic box sizes 105x105x30 mm output on the front panel of sixteen LEDs placed in a circle and numbered (numbers from 0 to 15) and the SB1 button and power switch.
With a click of the button starts to work prepared to enable the electrical circuit, simulating the movement of the roulette ball in a circle by switching the LEDs on the principle of "running lights" on the Christmas tree. The next (repeated) pressing of the "ball" is gradually slowing down, until it stops on a particular number, accompanied by an audible signal. That is, roulette remains the roulette even in electronic version.
From the circuit diagram it is easy to verify that the basis for the device the oscillator is made on transistors VT1, VT2 and grouped around them elements, the binary counter DD2, binary-decimal decoder DD1, dynamic speaker and LEDs.
After pressing the button SB1 to the base of transistor VT1 will go positive potential. Once it exceeds the threshold voltage, VT1 opens. To open slightly and VT2, and a coil on the speaker current to flow, causing the sound diffuser.
But paradisica the capacitor C1 begins to discharge, and VT1 will close.
You should re-charge C1. The potential of the base of transistor VT1 will increase again, leading to repetition of already considered process.
The frequency of the generator is mainly determined by the resistors R1, R2 and capacitor C1. If necessary, it can be corrected by changing the resistance R2.
When the button SB1 is pressed again, the operation of the circuit suddenly stops. Switching transistor VT1 goes on for a while. At the same clock frequency decreases. And go, this process will go on until, until the voltage subsides below the threshold of unlocking of the transistor VT1. In a similar way, electronic circuit simulates the rotation of the ball a real roulette.
The pulses received from the clock generator are input to the binary counter DD2 — integrated circuit К155ИЕ5. But I think it can up to 16, while the last pulse does not return everything to its original state. In the elementary case it can be connected to four LEDs which will show only the state of the clock generator. In addition, the encoding… That had developers to introduce the scheme of binary-decimal decoder IC К155ИДЗ.
When you different binary States at the inputs takes DD1 to one of the relevant outputs the signal to control, again one located in a circle of LEDs. Exception — findings numbered 10 and 11, each of which is managed by the not one, but two solid state indicators. So if you look at the counter alternately include LEDs, arises the idea of running in a circle luminous ball of roulette.
When turn on the clock generator, the counter is immediately set to a certain state which is immediately and "will be remembered". Due to the decoder will Shine with one well-defined led, indicating "unattached" at the moment "happy" number. In addition, work and alarm will sound.
Performing installation of electronic roulette on the PCB, it is important no to make a mess. In this case, the efficiency of the scheme is guaranteed when the supply voltage within the boundaries of 4.5-5 V.
And again. When installing LEDs, remember: a glowing ball of roulette should rotate counterclockwise. Antenna hole (as, indeed, all other operations on the front panel) should be performed with special care, to home-made looked no worse options industrial manufacture.
As for mounting the speaker, here this feature. On the front panel of the housing corresponding to the raster done by drilling 2 mm holes at a distance of 5 mm from each other, and then set the 8-Ohm loudspeaker.

Searching for the Genetic Underpinnings of Morning Persons and Night Owls
Researchers identified hundreds of gene variations that may be connected to when people go to bed.

By Veronique Greenwood
Early to bed and early to rise is a maxim that's easy to follow for some people, and devilishly hard for others.
Now, in a study published Tuesday in Nature Communications, researchers curious about the genetic underpinnings of chronotype — whether you are a morning person, a night owl or somewhere in between — looked at about 700,000 people's genomes. They identified 351 variations that may be connected to when people go to bed. While these variants are just the beginning of exploring the differences in chronotypes, the study goes on to suggest tantalizing links between chronotype and mental health.
[Like the Science Times page on Facebook. | Sign up for the Science Times newsletter.]
The researchers drew on data from 23andMe, the genetic testing company, and the UK Biobank, which tracks hundreds of thousands of volunteer subjects in Britain, about 85,000 of whom wear activity monitors that record their movements.
Those data were key, said Michael Weedon, a bioinformaticist at University of Exeter in England and an author of the new paper; earlier studies had relied only on people's subjective opinions of whether they were morning people. Using the activity monitors, however, the team was able to confirm that self-reported morning people did go to sleep earlier — and people with the most morning-linked gene variants went to bed 25 minutes earlier than people with the fewest. Morning people did not sleep longer or better than night people; all that differed was the time that they went to sleep.
The genes flagged in the study play a wide variety of roles in the body.
Many seem to play a role in brain tissues, and others are already known to be central to the body's circadian rhythm. A few were active mainly in the retina, and the people who possessed an uncommon version of one of these genes had an increased chance of being night owls, said Samuel Jones, a researcher at the University of Exeter and the study's lead author. That could imply a potential a connection between how the eye responds to sunlight and when a person sleeps.
Another gene was involved in the body's processing of caffeine and nicotine, two of our species' favorite stimulants. Continued study of these and the other genes could provide leads for future work on the biology of sleep timing.
"The most interesting ones are the ones where we don't know what it is," said Dr. Weedon.
When the researchers crunched the numbers on chronotype's connection to mental health, they also found that self-identified morning people reported a higher level of general well-being. People in this group also were less likely to report having depression or schizophrenia, in line with epidemiological studies suggesting that evening people struggle with mental health.
The researchers wonder whether having a lifestyle that aligns with one's chronotype may be more important in mental and physical health than whether you are merely a morning or night person. In future work, they are hoping to see whether morning people who are required to stay up late for their jobs or other commitments — perhaps similar to night owls who must rise early for 9-to-5- jobs — show higher levels of mental disorders than their well-aligned counterparts.
"Perhaps evening people are constantly fighting their natural clock, which might have unintended consequences farther down the line," said Dr. Jones.

Installation view of Joe Bradley ( June 24 – October 1, 2017) in the 1905 Building. Photograph by Tom Loonan.
Joe Bradley (American, born 1975) is widely known for his powerful abstract paintings and instinctive drawings. This mid-career survey illustrates how, with minimal fuss, he also pivots between abstraction and figuration, the earnest and the comic. By contextualizing Bradley's diverse bodies of work from the past decade, the exhibition captures his ever-changing approach to artmaking and unique take on abstraction and the evolutions of style. He has observed, "I think that time moves slower in painting. And maybe that accounts for a lot of the anxiety around painting in the last forty or fifty years. You have the twentieth century wrapping up and everything is moving at this breakneck speed? And then, painting is still walking. It's just a very human activity that takes time."
Bradley grew up in large family in Kittery, Maine, and remembers drawing from a young age. He was fascinated with comics both mainstream and underground, everything from Marvel to R. Crumb. Bradley recalls, "I think I could have made it as a gag cartoonist, but somehow painting took over." When he began studying art as an undergraduate at the Rhode Island School of Design, Bradley discovered art history and started devouring paintings from the 1960s and 1970s by the Chicago Imagists and Philip Guston, the spontaneous drawings of Cy Twombly and A. R. Penck, and the heavily layered nineteenth-century landscapes of Albert Pinkham Ryder.

The exhibition begins with examples of two "modular" paintings—multiple canvases assembled into oddly humorous humanoid figures—like those shown in Bradley's first New York solo exhibition in 2006. Subsequent galleries focus on different bodies of work from the past decade, including Bradley's quickly sketched and immediately engaging drawings and his Schmagoo paintings: a series of grease-pencil drawings on canvas that debuted in 2008. Several galleries are dedicated to Bradley's densely layered expressionistic abstract canvases, dating from 2010 to the present, that record the detritus and spontaneity of the studio environment. The exhibition also includes examples of Bradley's recent figurative bronzes based on found amateur sculpture and his silkscreen paintings based on the wide-ranging images—from comics to outdated periodicals—that so often inspire his work.
This exhibition is organized by Senior Curator Cathleen Chaffee.

China Sentences Hong Kong Reporter to Five Years for Spying
BEIJING – A Hong Kong reporter for a Singapore newspaper was sentenced Thursday by a Chinese court to five years in prison on charges of spying for rival Taiwan, a high-profile verdict in a government crackdown that has seen dozens of journalists jailed.
The conviction of Ching Cheong came a week after a Chinese researcher for The New York Times was acquitted of espionage charges but jailed for three years on a fraud claim.
Ching, a Hong Kong-based correspondent for The Straits Times, was detained in April 2005 during a visit to the mainland and for months the government released little information about his situation, prompting an outcry by Hong Kong journalists and press freedom groups.
CountryWatch: China
In one of the first official explanations of the government's case, the state-run Xinhua News Agency said that Ching was convicted for selling unspecified "state secrets and intelligence" to a Taiwanese foundation that was really a spy agency. Xinhua said Ching contacted the foundation, which it didn't name, while working as a reporter in Taiwan.
The company that publishes The Straits Times expressed concern at Ching's sentence and defended his behavior as a journalist.
"We wish to reiterate that since his recruitment in 1996, he has served us with distinction and has never given us cause to question his integrity and professionalism," Singapore Press Holdings Ltd. said in a statement. It called for "leniency and compassion," saying he was in poor health and suffers from high blood pressure.
President Hu Jintao's government has engaged in a sustained effort to tighten control over media and information, seeing a more aggressive, freewheeling press as a threat to its authority. Dozens of Chinese journalists and Internet essayists have been jailed, often on charges of violating vague secrecy or security laws.
Allegations of spying for Taiwan, a democratically ruled island which split from the mainland in 1949 amid civil war, are common. Both sides maintain robust espionage operations against the other.
Though China's maximum penalty for espionage is death, Xinhua said the Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court gave Ching a lighter sentence because he confessed.
Ching stood trial Aug. 15 in a one-day proceeding, according to his lawyers.
Ching was detained during a visit to the southern mainland city of Guangzhou, near Hong Kong.
His wife, Mary Lau, has said Ching was set up by an unnamed intermediary who claimed he could help get tapes of interviews with the late leader Zhao Ziyang, who was deposed after the 1989 crackdown on the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests and held under house arrest until his death last year.
Lau said Ching may have been targeted because of his ties to a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a government think tank, who had access to confidential discussions between China's leaders.
In an open letter to Hu that was published in Hong Kong newspapers in June, Lau wrote that the researcher, Lu Jianhua, "frequently shared with Ching Cheong classified comments made by leaders, including yours and those of other leaders."
The letter said Lu shared the information in hopes that Ching would be able to help him conduct interviews and prepare briefings for the Chinese leadership about Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Lu Jianhua stood trial on Aug. 17 in a closed proceeding that lasted less than two hours, according to Frank Lu, a Hong Kong-based activist who runs a small news agency.
It was not clear what charges Lu Jianhua faced.
In the Times case, researcher Zhao Yan was accused of "leaking state secrets to foreigners." The government didn't release details of the case, but it was believed to stem from a 2004 report by the newspaper that former leader Jiang Zemin was preparing to step down from his last major post.
Zhao was acquitted of the secrets charge because the court ruled that prosecutors failed to prove their case, according to Xinhua. He was jailed on unrelated fraud allegations in what his supporters was an attempt to save face for authorities.
China has made similar claims in the past that Taiwanese foundations serve as fronts for spying.
Li Shaoming, a Chinese-American academic who was among several people convicted in 2001 of spying for Taiwan, said the only evidence presented at his trial was a letter from China's main security agency saying that a Taiwanese foundation to which he had applied for a grant was really an espionage organization.
That foundation, the Taiwan Three-Principle Reunification Alliance, denied spying on the mainland.
