1930s & EarlierMona Lisa Stolen 1911
This is what remained of the Mona Lisa in The Louvre after it was stolen on August 21, 1911--four metal hooks on a wall. The famous painting was missing until December 1913 when an Italian, Vincenzo Peruggia, tried to sell it to a museum in his own country. Peruggia was portrayed as a patriotic Italian who wanted to return the Mona Lisa to his homeland. However, the real story of the painting's theft did not come out for years. Peruggia actually stole the Mona Lisa for an Argentine art forger who had already made six passable copies of it. When the theft became public news, the forger had no use for the real painting. Instead he sold the six copies to six different gullible art fans for extraordinary sums, each buyer believing he had bought the true Da Vinci masterpiece. During the 27 months the painting was missing, Peruggia had kept it in a trunk under his bed in his apartment not far from The Louvre. He was waiting for instructions from the art forger that never came. Eventually Peruggia tried to sell the original painting himself and was promptly arrested.

1930s & EarlierBiograph Girl Florence Lawrence
Canadian born Florence Lawrence was America's first big movie star--but no one knew her name. During the first decade of the twentieth century, movie companies did not publicize their actors' names in order to keep their salaries down. Florence Lawrence made dozens of films for D.W. Griffith's Biograph Company and became the studio's most noteworthy star. Nevertheless she remained anonymous. Known to her fans only as 'the Biograph girl,' she was earning just $25 per week. When she left Biograph in 1910 to join the newly formed IMP company, her new studio started a false rumor that she had been killed in a streetcar accident in St. Louis. It then announced that 'the Biograph girl' was Florence Lawrence. She was alive and well and about to star in a new film for IMP. This was likely the first Hollywood publicity stunt. Lawrence appeared in more than 300 films, but her popularity waned almost as quickly as it had grown. By the 1920s she had only uncredited bit roles and was earning $75 per week. The Great Depression ruined her finanacially and she endured three unhappy marriages. In December 1938, a week before 53rd birthday, Lawrence committed suicide by ingesting ant paste.

Pinpointing roof leak no easy task
Homeowner should check 3 key areas
by Bill and Kevin Burnett
Last week, a reader asked if we knew of a quick fix for a leak that showed up after her garage was expanded and a front porch was remodeled.
We offered a temporary solution, giving her a primer in the sometimes-confusing world of caulk. Today, we would like to tell her how to begin getting rid of the leak once and for all.
Water is the bane of all homebuilding, whether new construction or renovation. It will seek the weak point in the structure and find its way inside. What's more, leaks can be tough to locate. Their source and the place they ultimately show up inside the building can be many feet apart.
Kevin had a persistent leak in his Mansard roof in Alameda, Calif. Mansard roofs, sometimes called French roofs, have steeply pitched, nearly vertical sides that connect with the building's walls. The top of the roof is pitched only enough to shed water and is almost always invisible from the ground. This created more living space and, at one point in history, a tax dodge.
In 18th-century Paris, buildings were taxed by their height to the base of the roof. This height was measured only to the cornice line, so any living space contained in a Mansard roof was tax exempt.
Kevin started searching for the leak about two years into his seven-year stay in the house. Logically, the leak should have been a flaw in the flat roof, so he put on a new roof. The leak persisted and Kevin remained befuddled for years. But just before he put the house up for sale, he discovered water was infiltrating the steeply pitched sidewall shingles.
We're willing to bet that our reader's leak is in one of three places:
Where the porch was reconfigured to connect with the garage addition.
At the point where the new roof structure meets the old.
Where the new roof structure meets the siding.

Comcast Graciously Drops Data Caps, but Only for Northeast Customers, Until 2022
Photo: Joe Raedle (Getty Images)
Comcast has once again decided to cut some of its customers a break with their data caps, Ars Technica reports. Facing ever-increasing pressure from customers and lawmakers, the internet service provider has decided to not enforce data cap overage fees on its Northeast customers until 2022.
How to Fix Your Awful Wifi
I'm a Designer—Here's What I Think of the Surface Studio 2
Teenage Cybercrime Gang LAPSUS$ Strikes Again
"We recognize that our data plan was new for our customers in the Northeast, and while only a very small percentage of customers need additional data, we are providing them with more time to become familiar with the new plan," Comcast said in an announcement yesterday.
The latest change affects Xfinity customers in Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
If Comcast had proceeded with its policy, Northeast Xfinity customers would have had to pay an extra $10 for every 50 GB of data they went over after they hit their 1.2TB limit, unless they subscribed to an unlimited plan, starting last month. Those charges would top out at a max of $100 a month.
Earlier this month, Comcast had said it would not charge data overage fees to customers in those states until July 2021 after negotiations with Attorney General of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro. The state of Massachusetts introduced legislation last month to temporarily ban ISPs like Comcast from imposing data caps on customers in the state until the covid-19 pandemic is over.
Comcast also recently increased the speed of its Internal Essential package from 25/3 Mbps to 50/5 Mbps, starting next month, in response to parents, teachers, and students saying the previous speed wasn't enough for low-income households to attend school virtually. It seems like the push-back has been working to get the ISP to treat its customers with a little more compassion, but the work needed to close the digital divide is not close to being done.
As a reminder, the rest of Comcast's Xfinity customers in non-Northeastern states not only still have to worry about data caps, but they are still paying overage fees too, even though the covid-19 pandemic also affects them. It's been pointed out time and time again by organizations like Electronic Frontier Foundation that data caps don't exist to manage network capacity. They exist to charge customers more money, whether that comes in the form of overage fees or convincing customers to upgrade to a more expensive plan.
As of now, Comcast has not said anything about what it will do once January 2022 roles around.

Repertory cinema's self-perpetuating cycle.
Posted by Vadim Rizov on May 10th
After some uncertainty in its opening stages, the inaugural Turner Classic Movies Film Festival held in Los Angeles at the end of April went off, by all available accounts, with great success. At The House Next Door, Dennis Cozzalio goes long on his time there, in the process tangentially collating a nice portrait of what going to repertory cinema is like these days.
There is much to think about in the piece, although most of them stem from seemingly immovable facts: New York and L.A. are havens of repertory cinema where dedicated cinephiles have to flock for sustained rep cinema; any screen star, no matter how octogenarian or nonagenarian, is a bigger draw than the actual film; there are always forgotten movies from deep within the studio vaults that are as good or better than the established classics, which in most places consist of "the occasional showing of 'The Wizard of Oz,' or 'Singin' in the Rain' or (shudder) 'Grease' on an outdoor screen at some city-sponsored summer family-oriented gathering." (Add "The Big Lebowski" to the list.) Film history is also finding itself constantly rewritten, both in anecdotal history and scholarly form, by rep viewers.
Comprehensive as it is, there's pretty much only one thing Cozzalio doesn't touch upon. It's pretty certain that if you're an aficionado of the most demanding contemporary formalist filmmakers out there — the ones that attract rabid fans, festival attention and typically little financial reward — you are almost certain to be very serious about film history as well. However, the converse isn't true: there's definitely a certain kind of rep viewer that's unapologetically nostalgic in outlook and has no interest in the present day. In fact, one of the reasons rep cinema isn't more pervasive could have to do with the musty aura and self-perpetuating air that can surround the more esoteric rep screenings, where there's always more discoveries and obscurities to sort through.
What Cozzalio's piece records is that young kids are, in fact, showing up to rep cinema as long as it's attractively packaged as an "event," something to build your weekend around. And this logic basically works for every film festival in the world when it comes to packing the locals in. But it'd be great if these people weren't just interested in "old movies" as a genre, but as a gateway for all the viewing options they might not even know about. The TCM Festival is, of course, restricted to the past, but it
suggests a potentially closed loop of cinephilia where compulsive sifting for new discoveries in back catalogs results in an ignorance towards what's going on in the here and now — something that needs to be addressed if new audiences are to be found.

Why Was the Decision in "Roe V...
Home Government & Politics Law
Why Was the Decision in "Roe V. Wade" Important for Feminists?
Roe v. Wade is considered a watershed moment by many feminists because the decision affirmed a pregnant woman's right to privacy, explains U.S. History. This affirmation is also the basis of laws that allow and regulate abortion in the United States.
The first feminist movements date back to the 19th century, notes Wikipedia. They primarily fought for the right of women to vote. Feminist movements in the twentieth century focused on fighting social and cultural inequalities. This focus formed the backdrop for Roe v. Wade.
In the '60s, there was no overarching law governing abortions in the United States, explains U.S. History. The practice was banned in many states and only allowed where the mother's life was in danger. Feminist movements argued that such severe restrictions encouraged women to seek illegal and potentially harmful alternatives.
In time, states such as New York and California legalized abortions, notes U.S. History. With the federal government failing to declare a stand on abortion, feminist groups began to seek the opinion of the Supreme Court. That opinion came as a result of a legal challenge against Texas' abortion laws by Norma McCorvey, who used the pseudonym Jane Roe.
The challenge eventually worked its way to the Supreme Court, explains U.S. History. On Jan. 22, 1973, the Supreme Court struck down Texas' abortion law by a 7-to-2 vote. The Court also made it illegal for any state to prevent abortion in the first three months of pregnancy. However, states are allowed to make laws restricting abortion in the second and third trimesters.

Hobart based website design offering the very best websites at the very best prices.
What if you could have a professionally produced website at a fraction of the cost? Now you can! We design websites for clients from Hobart to Devonport and all throughout Tasmania. We work across a broad range of businesses from School websites and Not For Profits to Accommodation, IT and Construction. From big names in industry to small boutique businesses, iDesign will meet and then exceed your expectations.
iDesign Websites is the passion of long time Hobart website designer Dermot Cottuli. Not happy with the explosion of template driven web sites that lock people into ongoing contracts and restrict functionality and owner access, iDesign offers fully functional web sites that give the owner complete access to the backend and total control of their site. All for an amazingly low price. These are stand alone websites just like the ones the big boys have, without the jaw dropping cost.
It's a fancy term that simply tells you that we build your site to display and work just as well on your tablet or phone, as it does on a desktop computer.
With the boom in handheld internet devices don't be left behind with a website that doesn't scale across multiple screen sizes. At iDesign Websites every one of our sites work right out of the blocks with every type of device. And we include it for free in our incredibly low prices.
Go ahead and test it on your computer. Grab the right hand side of your browser window and drag it toward the left shrinking your window size down. As you do you'll notice the page contents rearranging on your screen so that it still remains legible. Once your page passes a predetermined size the menu at the top of the page will change style to better suit tablets and phones whilst the rest of your site remains perfectly useable. Pretty cool hey?
If you find that your site fails the test, speak to us about upgrading your site so that it works across all sized platforms.
How can we offer such low costs with a personalised service?
We keep our costs down by offering a standard package and not being greedy. We also don't have hugely expensive overheads because we don't have an office in the city although we still include an onsite visit in the Hobart area as part of our initial service. Hobart Web Design could be exactly what you've been looking for.
For the past 18 years we've prided ourselves on looking after our clients needs first and foremost – it's called a service industry for a reason.
Does Hobart Web Design offer more than basic website packages?
Absolutely, although we always tell people to start off small and test the water first if they've never had a website before. Developing engaging content for your site is crucial to your site's success and the site owner is responsible for their own content. It's always easier to add more content at a later date but very difficult to regain lost trust if your initial site isn't as good as it should be.
We also offer ecommerce add-ons for you to sell your products online and the cost is only $300 on top of your basic site. Extra pages are only $85.
A simple way for you to decide if iDesign Websites is the Web Design Studio you've been looking for is right in front of your eyes! This site is a typical example of our work. Have a look around and you'll see what you can expect for your money. This site would have cost you $800 for the first 4 pages + $160 for the 2 extra pages – a total price of $960. If you can find a better price with the same quality as us, go with them.
So don't hesitate any longer. If you've been thinking of getting a website we'd love to work with you to bring your dreams to fruition. CONTACT us today and we can start the process right away. We guarantee a 7 day* turn around so you can be online before you know it.
*7 day turnaround guaranteed AFTER we have received all of your content and images.


Shining Champion settled ahead of midfield and one off the rails, rounded the final bend two from the outside and finished willingly to get up 20m out for a second win from three outings over this trip this term. Lucky Day travelled one off in fifth, cornered five deep and stayed on nicely to make it close on the wire. Sight Seeing enjoyed a nice spot in fourth along the rails, angled into the clear three deep at the 350m and kept up a good gallop to make it close on the wire as the firming favourite. Travel Renyi travelled deep with cover behind midfield, lost some momentum when copping bumps on both sides at the 1,000m, shifted into the clear four from the right at the 250m and ran on steadily to finish a distant fourth.
HEALTHY JOYFUL and HELLA HEDGE bumped heavily at the start.
HAPPY AND HEALTHY began only fairly.
Passing the 1000 Metres, SUPEROI commenced to prove difficult to settle, shifted in and bumped FIGHTING CHAMP which became unbalanced.
SUPEROI then continued to be difficult to settle and got its head up repeatedly when being checked away from the heels of SHINING CHAMPION.
This resulted in SUPEROI shifting in and bumping FIGHTING CHAMP again near the 900 Metres.
SUPEROI then got its head on the side and shifted out abruptly making the turn after the 900 Metres, resulting in TRAVEL RENYI being bumped and taken wider and in doing so making contact with HELLO KIMBERLEY which became unbalanced.
After this, SUPEROI continued to travel keenly.
The racing manners of SUPEROI were considered unacceptable.
Before being allowed to race again, SUPEROI will be required to perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial around a bend.
After the 1000 Metres, HEALTHY JOYFUL got its head up when proving very difficult to settle.
Then approaching the 900 Metres, HEALTHY JOYFUL, which was continuing to race intractably, was severely checked when crowded for room between TRAVEL RENYI which shifted out and HELLO KIMBERLEY (M L Yeung) which shifted in despite the efforts of its rider.
M L Yeung was reprimanded and advised that whilst there were some circumstances to this incident, nonetheless in similar circumstances he would be expected to react quicker than he did on this occasion when his mounts shift ground.
TRAVEL RENYI had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight.
Throughout the race, HELLA HEDGE travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground.
A veterinary inspection of HELLA HEDGE immediately following the race revealed that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm.
Before being allowed to race again, HELLA HEDGE will be required to perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
SIGHT SEEING, SHINING CHAMPION and LUCKY DAY were sent for sampling.

LiDAR gets ready for automotive mass-market – An interview with Velodyne
Home | News & Articles | LiDAR gets ready for automotive mass-market – An interview with Velodyne
Alpha Puck™ - Point Cloud - Courtesy of Velodyne
Along with electric vehicles, autonomous driving is the next big thing for the automotive industry. Part of this revolution is Light Detection And Ranging, better known as LiDAR, a sensing technology measuring distances using laser beam pulses.
Autonomous driving started in the first Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Grand Challenge, which took place in March 2004. In 2005, David Hall, the founder of Velodyne LiDAR, participated in the second Grand Challenge. Hall introduced his own invention to autonomous driving: A 3D real-time LiDAR capable of measuring how far away objects are across the full 360° of the surrounding environment in real-time.
Since then, Velodyne has become the champion of real-time LiDAR, with its systems involved in almost all autonomous driving projects. They also can be found on flying taxis, or in industrial and scientific applications, which include drones, mapping, advanced robots, mining trucks, archeology, smart buildings, and security.
Yole Développment expects autonomous driving to have a huge impact on LiDAR technology and the related industry, as described in our recently published report: "LiDAR for Automotive and Industrial Applications 2019".
Today, Alexis Debray and Pierrick Boulay, Market and Technolgy Analysts for Yole Développement have the chance to discuss with Marta Hall, President of Business Development and Chief Creative Officer of Velodyne, to better understand what the current status is in this revolution in autonomous driving and LiDAR, and what the future of Velodyne will hold.
Alexis Debray (AD): Can you please introduce Velodyne?
Marta Hall (MH): Velodyne provides the smartest, most powerful LiDAR solutions for autonomy and driver assistance. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in San Jose, California, Velodyne is known worldwide for its portfolio of breakthrough LiDAR sensor technologies. In 2005, Velodyne's Founder and CEO, David Hall, invented real-time surround view LiDAR systems, revolutionizing perception and autonomy for automotive, new mobility, mapping, robotics, and security. Velodyne's high-performance product line includes a broad range of sensing solutions, including the cost-effective Puck™, the versatile Ultra Puck™, the perfect for level 4-level 5 autonomy Alpha Puck™, the ultra-wide angle VelaDome™, the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)-optimized Velarray™, and the groundbreaking software for driver assistance, Vella™.
Pierrick Boulay (PB): Can you briefly present Velodyne's LiDAR technology?
MH: As the world leader in LiDAR, Velodyne's sensors boast an unmatched combination of long range, high resolution, and wide field of view. The result is a clear and detailed image of the surroundings that enables reliable and safe navigation.
A LiDAR sensor bounces laser pulses off an object, like a tree, at an enormously high rate – millions of laser pulses each second – and measures how long the light from the laser takes to reflect from the object to a light detector. The amazing thing about LiDAR technology is this process works for nonstationary objects in real-time, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, and other cars.

Based on the time of flight, the distance to an object is calculated by the LiDAR device in real-time, and the millions of data points are used to generate a point cloud, which is a complex "map" of the surroundings that includes measurements of how far away objects are from the vehicle. This process is kind of like spraying paint all over a surrounding environment in order to highlight objects, make them recognizable, and show movement.
A robust LiDAR has between eight and 128 laser beams to measure a car's surroundings. In surround-view sensors, the laser beams cover 360 degrees to completely see around a vehicle – something not possible for a human driver. That means typical issues that may cause collisions for drivers, such as blind spots or wide-angle hazards, will be nonexistent in self-driving cars.
LiDAR is able to accurately identify objects at up to 300 meters distance. It is critical that an autonomous vehicle can recognize a paper bag blowing across the roadway versus a small child in order to make accurate split-second decisions.
Fully autonomous cars represent an enormous technological leap beyond today's vehicles. LiDAR is the essential sensing technology needed to operate autonomous cars safely.
AD: In late 2018, Velodyne and Nikon announced a collaboration. What will this collaboration provide in the future?
MH: Specifics will be public in six months. We can share that this initiative aims to combine Nikon's optical and precision technologies with Velodyne's LiDAR sensor technology. Both companies have begun investigating a wide-ranging, multifaceted business alliance, including collaboration in technology development and manufacturing. Velodyne believes the relationship will advance the timeline for manufacturing and mass production of LiDAR for the autonomous and advanced safety global market. The companies share a futuristic vision of advanced perception technology for a wide range of applications including robotics, mapping, security, shuttles, drones, and safety on roadways.

PB: Velodyne succeeded in reducing the size of LiDARs, with 128 lasers now embedded in the Alpha Puck. How did you achieve this? Have we reached the minimum size with mechanical scanning, and should we use another technology like MEMS to further decrease LiDAR size?
MH: This is proprietary information. We are extremely proud of our leadership and breakthroughs in LiDAR technology, and we will continue to innovate, including in the areas of size. Our portfolio of LiDAR solutions, which is ever-expanding, will meet the all of the LiDAR market needs.
AD: In January 2019, Velodyne and Veoneer announced a collaboration. What do you expect from this relationship?
MH: This collaboration will result in millions of units produced and manufacturing cost coming down, along with a contract with a major automotive OEM. Veoneer is developing and commercializing the next generation of LiDAR systems for automotive applications using Velodyne's scalable auto-grade LiDAR sensor, core 3D software technology and proprietary LiDAR Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) engine. Both companies will contribute key components, technologies, know-how and other intellectual property needed to optimize a next generation of affordable, high performance LiDARs for the automotive market.

PB: Which OEM will be the first to profit from this partnership? Are traffic jams expected to be the main use case of this autonomous feature or do you expect other use cases for ADAS level 3 vehicles?
MH: We cannot comment on our customers or OEM profitability. Our LiDAR sensors will improve ADAS features, including Lane Keep Assistance (LKA), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Blind Spot Monitoring. Our LiDAR solutions will be applicable for all levels of ADAS and autonomy, advancing safety in the roadways.
AD: What is the most important bottleneck for automotive LiDAR today and how can it be solved?
MH: Producing automotive-grade sensors at scale is the industry's top challenge. Velodyne is leading the market in addressing this need. Velodyne created the world's first in-house automated manufacturing processes to produce automotive-grade LiDAR products at scale. Velodyne's manufacturing operations include a 200,000 square foot megafactory in San Jose, California, where highly-automated robotic assembly techniques are utilized to build a range of sensors. Invented by Velodyne, these revolutionary manufacturing systems form the foundation of the company's mass production capabilities. Velodyne is also scaling production by licensing core LiDAR technology to Tier 1 supplier Veoneer for a long-term, high-volume manufacturing agreement with a global automaker.
PB: We are now hearing lots about industrial applications of LiDAR. How do you see this application evolving?
MH: Velodyne's sensors are used in a myriad of new technologies in industrial applications, providing safety and efficiency in agriculture, construction, logging, maritime, mining, pipeline inspection, and railway. LiDAR helps these systems navigate within natural environments by performing collision avoidance, object profiling, and identification. This enables them to better understand both the physical environment they are operating in and changes in their surroundings such as moving people and objects. These new industrial systems will thrive only if they can be reliably reproduced. Therefore, the systems must be designed with commercially available components that are easy to source and can be purchased in volume. Velodyne's real-time 3D LiDAR sensors are built with widely available 905nm lasers and avalanche photodiodes. The established breadth and scale of the supply base for Velodyne's 905nm LiDAR components are at least one order of magnitude larger than those utilized in other types of LiDAR technology. Many of the board- and chip-level electronic components are Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) which helps to reduce price and lead-times on both new sensors and Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) repairs.
AD: Today, Velodyne is the uncontested leader in 3D real-time LiDAR. How will your company remain at the top?
MH: Velodyne is the highest-volume supplier of LiDAR sensors to the automotive industry with more than 250 customers globally. Our robust solution portfolio meets the entire range of LiDAR needs for autonomy and driver assistance – and we are committed to driving innovation to strengthen this leadership position. David Hall first deployed vehicle software in 2004 as part of the DARPA Challenges. Over the last 15 years, we have continued to add intelligence to our sensors, enabling a variety of LiDAR sensing capabilities that allow our customers to detect more objects and offer cars a more detailed view of their surroundings. For example, recently at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2019, we unveiled VelaDome™, a compact embeddable LiDAR that provides an ultra-wide 180° x 180° image for near-object avoidance, and Vella™, breakthrough software, which was developed in close collaboration with our LiDAR hardware experts, that will enable a seamlessly integrated ADAS solution powered by our LiDARs.
PB: How do you see the LiDAR industry over the next 10 years?
MH: LiDAR's continued technological innovation and production at scale advance vehicle autonomy and driver assistance will continue to be a major industry focus in coming years. Like most technologies, LiDAR in automotive will evolve to three major suppliers. Velodyne will definitely be one of the three suppliers. The other two are still to be determined.
Velodyne is also investigating what are the next big areas to tackle with our LiDAR innovation. Keep an eye on LiDAR in trucking, smart cities, augmented reality, and security.

Covid-19 remains infectious on banknotes and other common surfaces for weeks
Staff Writer13 October 2020
The new coronavirus may remain infectious for weeks on banknotes, glass and other common surfaces, according to research by Australia's top biosecurity laboratory that highlights risks from paper currency, touchscreen devices and grab handles and rails.
Scientists at the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness showed SARS-CoV-2 is "extremely robust," surviving for 28 days on smooth surfaces such as glass found on mobile phone screens and plastic banknotes at room temperature, or 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit).
That compares with 17 days survival for the flu virus.
Virus survival declined to less than a day at 40 degrees Celsius on some surfaces, according to the study, published in Virology Journal.
The findings add to evidence that the Covid-19-causing coronavirus survives for longer in cooler weather, making it potentially harder to control in winter than summer.
The research also helps to more accurately predict and mitigate the pandemic's spread, the scientists said.
"Our results show that SARS-CoV-2 can remain infectious on surfaces for long periods of time, reinforcing the need for good practices such as regular hand washing and cleaning surfaces," said co-author Debbie Eagles, the center's deputy director, in an emailed statement Monday.
The coronavirus is transmitted mostly through direct contact with an infected person, especially the virus-laden particles they emit while coughing, sneezing, speaking, singing and even breathing.
SARS-CoV-2 may also contaminate surfaces when these particles settle, creating so-called fomites that the researchers said may play a lesser, though important role in transmission of the virus.
"It does raise some critical issues around the need to keep on disinfecting surfaces, even when community cases are low," said Trevor Drew, the center's director and another co-author, in an interview.
"We still need to carry out those disinfection regimes, both personally and at a public level, even when there don't seem to be any cases around because there
may well be some residual virus that you've missed."
SARS-CoV-2 spread via fomites is plausible, researchers at Kansas State University said in a study released ahead of publication and peer review in August.
They analyzed the coronavirus's stability on a dozen surfaces and found it survived five-to-seven times longer under cooler, less-humid spring/fall conditions compared with the average temperature and humidity in summer.
'Big surprise'
The finding bodes badly for controlling Covid-19 during the Northern Hemisphere winter, said virologist Juergen Richt, who led the research. "If we couldn't control it very well during the summer, we are in for a big surprise," Richt said in an interview.

Here's how the #coronavirus will be different in winter, according to @KState virologist Juergen Richt, who tested #Covid19 on different surfaces. More @business: https://t.co/yJCWECcIKN pic.twitter.com/mWNCxI7ToO

Scientists at the Australian government laboratory have determined virus survival previously for hundreds of different viruses.
They found in the case of SARS-CoV-2 that it survives longer on nonporous or smooth surfaces, compared with porous complex surfaces, such as cotton.
The research received funding from Australia's defense department. It involved drying the coronavirus in an artificial mucus on different surfaces, at concentrations similar to those reported in samples from infected patients, and then re-isolating the virus over a month.
The study was also carried out in the dark, to remove the effect of ultraviolet light, as research has demonstrated direct sunlight can rapidly inactivate the virus.
The time taken to achieve a 90% reduction in the amount of virus present on the surfaces studied under different temperatures is tabled below:
"While the precise role of surface transmission, the degree of surface contact and the amount of virus required for infection is yet to be determined, establishing how long this virus remains viable on surfaces is critical for developing risk mitigation strategies in high contact areas," Eagles said.
Transmission risk
The persistence on glass is an important finding, given that touchscreen devices such as mobile phones, bank ATMs, supermarket self-serve checkouts and airport check-in kiosks are high touch surfaces which may not be regularly cleaned and therefore pose a transmission risk of SARS-CoV-2, the researchers said in the paper.
They found the longer survival time of SARS-CoV-2 than seasonal flu on banknotes "of particular significance, considering the frequency of circulation and the potential for transfer of viable virus both between individuals and geographic locations."
Before SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic, China had started decontaminating its paper currency, suggesting concerns over transmission via paper banknotes existed at the time, the researchers said, noting that the U.S. and South Korea have also quarantined bank notes as a result of the pandemic.
The survival of the coronavirus on stainless steel at cooler temperatures may help explain Covid-19 outbreaks linked to meat processing and cold storage facilities, the authors said. Their data support the findings of a study showing the survival of SARS-CoV-2 on fresh and frozen food as well, they said.
A reduction in temperature to about 6 degrees Celsius correlates with about a 10-fold increase in the virus's survival, Drew said. Blood and oils associated with fresh meat and fish processing and handling may also help to preserve the virus.
"It's going to survive for much longer in cooler conditions, and that's irrespective of whether it's on a surface or whether it's in the air," Drew said. "This may help to explain why the sort of environments, such as slaughterhouses, would be potentially a more hazardous area."

Q: Nginx Reverse Proxy SSL Error So I have my Nginx reverse proxy set up as follows.
    listen 80;
    server_name mydomain.net;
    return 301 https://mydomain.net$request_uri;
    }
server {
    listen 443;
    server_name mydomain.net;

    ssl_certificate           /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.net/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key       /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.net/privkey.pem;

    location / {
       proxy_pass http://myip:myport;
    }
}

But when I try to connect to my website it says "This site can't provide a secure connection, ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. Did I misconfigure SSL?

A: You should change the listen directive to listen with the SSL protocol: listen 80; says to listen for http connections on port 80, but listen 443 ssl; says to listen on port 443 for https connections.
the configuration should be as follows:
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name mydomain.net;
    return 301 https://mydomain.net$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name mydomain.net;

    ssl_certificate           /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.net/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key       /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.net/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://myip:myport;
    }
}

you can also combine them. you can remove your return statement, and combine all others into one server block. just add this snippet:
  if ($scheme = http) {
    return 301 https://$host$uri?$args;
  }

I'm the new zookeeper. It seems like an easy job. And, a way to start contributing (in a teensy-weensy capacity) to the Plone community.
Tonight, I have, alas, a small problem with my ssh keys. Tomorrow, I should launch the "DeRosa era of zookeeping" by processing existing requests for additions to the blog list.
Congrats on the new assignment, John. And thanks for your contribution!
Thanks for stepping into the zookeeper's shoes!
I am writing to you in hope if you can help me!
Yesterday I start to read a text in Planet Plone, about CMS and usability for older people.
Today, when I return to Planet Plone to finish the reading, the article was not there no more!
Can you please help me to find the text, or point me to the author??
@Jota: The Planet Plone page is a a list of blog posts ordered by date, and, as you've discovered, there's no "older entries" link at the bottom. Once a blog post rolls off the page, it's no longer accessible from that page. That's a conscious decision — it's for only the most recent news and buzz.
But that post still exists on its home blog, of course. So your first option would be to search the web for it.
Another possibility would be to search Plone's support forums for questions similar to yours. Or, ask for pointers on the #plone IRC channel.
Whenever I read an interesting post, I always add its blog to my syndication reader. That way I can always get to it.
Another thought is, if you viewed that post's URL in your browser, it should still be in your browser's history list.
@Jota: I think Plone Metrics carried the post you're looking for.


Happy birthday to Mrs. Marathon Man, with whom I share a birthday. I also think there's a sister of Marathon Man who was also born on this day.
Speaking of Marathon Man, who has lately become something of the Tunesmith to my Anthony, he's been bogged down by a heavy workload in grad school. He'll return soon.
I'll post some Christmas pictures of the kids later this week.
How 'bout those Nittany Lions?
Now that Mary Worth has gotten past three weeks worth of debate over Charterstone condo bylaws, perhaps something interesting will happen. But I doubt it.
And finally, here's a bit of post-holiday cheer that I meant to post prior to Christmas, but forgot.
Growing up in the extreme eastern end of Allegheny County, we were never able to get Channel 11 (the local NBC affiliate) very well. (Yes, kids, this was back in the days when we got our tv over the air, not via cable.) However, Channel 6 from Johnstown came in quite clearly, so we were among the millions who were served from atop the Alleghenies.
One of the things I looked forward to every year were a couple of short little holiday animations that Channel 6 would begin running shortly after Thanksgiving. Their appearance meant that Christmas was imminent.
They're hopelessly dated now, and perhaps even a little annoying -- but nonetheless, here's a little bit of nostalgia from my past. Ladies and gentlemen -- I give you "Susie Snowflake" and "Hardrock, Coco and Joe."
I remember Susie Snowflake! Thanks for that.
I couldn't get through the videos. I'm afraid I'd be singing Suzie Snowflake for the next 24hrs. But I know what you mean - I've got a soft spot for the Eat N Park commercial. It's not Christmas until I've seen that star get up the tree. I admit to squeeing when I see it.
Even though Penn State won, I really wish they had pulled off a Statue of Liberty play to seal the victory like Boise State.
As Frosty the Snowman so eloquently put it, Happy Birthday.
If your name began with the letter "T," we could both lose those 2 hangers on and join blogging forces. But alas, "B&A" sounds like a railroad.
My lasting childhood memory of televised Christmas in Pittsburgh is Paul Shannon loading a rocket full of letters to Santa and firing it off to the North Pole.
We were easily entertained in those days.
I'm a little sketchy on the visuals, but I certainly remember the songs. Especially, "I'm Joe."

Russian orthodox christianity beliefs
Why did Russia choose Orthodox Christianity?
He sent his emissaries to various countries to learn about their religions. Vladimir felt that Russia would become a unified nation if its people practiced one central religion. As a result, the prince chose the Byzantine faith of Orthodox Christianity as the faith to bring his country of turmoil into harmony.
What do Russian Orthodox believe about salvation?
The Orthodox believe that there is nothing that a person ( Orthodox or non- Orthodox ) can do to earn salvation . It is rather a gift from God. However, this gift of relationship has to be accepted by the believer, since God will not force salvation on humanity.
Is Russian Orthodox the same as Christianity?
Christianity in Russia is the most widely professed religion in the country, with nearly 71% of the population identifying as Orthodox Christian according to World Atlas. The largest tradition is the Russian Orthodox Church .
What religion is banned in Russia?
Activities of the Jehovah's Witnesses are currently banned in Russia. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 there has been a revival and spread of Siberian shamanism (often mixed with Orthodox elements), and the emergence of Hindu and new religious movements throughout Russia.
What is Orthodox Christianity beliefs?
Essentially the Orthodox Church shares much with the other Christian Churches in the belief that God revealed himself in Jesus Christ, and a belief in the incarnation of Christ, his crucifixion and resurrection. The Orthodox Church differs substantially in the way of life and worship .
Which Bible does Orthodox Church use?
the New King James Version of the Bible
You might be interested: Principle beliefs of christianity
Do Russian Orthodox celebrate Christmas?
Christmas in Russia ( Russian : Рождество Христово Rozhdestvo Khristovo, in the Russian Orthodox Church called Е́же по пло́ти Рождество Господа Бога и Спа́са нашего Иисуса Христа), commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, is celebrated on 25 December in the Julian calendar used by the church, which falls on 7 January in
Does the Orthodox Church believe in Mary?
Standing center in Orthodox tradition concerning the Virgin Mary is a singular concept. She is the Theotokos, the woman who bore the life-giving God into human life. Within the Divine Liturgy, Mary is always granted esteem because she is the Theotokos.
Can Orthodox and Catholic marry?
Apostolic succession and sacraments Most Orthodox Churches allow marriages between members of the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. Catholic canon law allows marriage between a Catholic and an Orthodox only if permission is obtained from the Catholic bishop.
Is Russian Orthodox the same as Catholic?
The Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church have been in a state of official schism from one another since the East–West Schism of 1054. The main theological differences with the Catholic Church are the papal primacy and the filioque clause.

Kansas City voters choose to rename Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard
Posted 5:52 am, November 7, 2019, by Nexstar
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) - What once was old is new again.
On Tuesday, roughly two-thirds of Kansas City voters rejected the recently-renamed Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. The ballot asked city leaders to revert to the former Paseo Boulevard name. The citizen petition-led drive scored a big win at the polls.
On Wednesday, city leaders said the street sign changes will begin as soon as votes are verified.
Nearly 70 percent of the vote, which came from a low voter turnout, are a sign that change is coming. Kansas City's council members chose to change the name to honor King, the celebrated civil rights leader, in January. The move was met with mixed reactions, which led to Tuesday's item on the ballot.
"The biggest argument came from people who felt like they weren't included in the process," Joey Thomas, owner at JoeyCuts Barbershop, told WDAF.
Thomas ran for council in the springtime, falling only eight percent short of the votes he needed. Thomas' shop sits about a block from the Paseo, and his customers tell him they were against the change because city leaders overlooked the public's input, some of which came in opposition to the name change.
"If changing the name costs me money. If I have to change a sign on my business or change business cards or whatever, I would have wanted to be included in that process," Thomas said.
Kansas City's Public Works Department won't begin the work of changing the 189 applicable signs right away. Once the votes are verified, city workers will begin switching the signs within the next few weeks as workers are available. Labor will be assigned to the same crews who mow grass and fill potholes.
Maggie Green, a spokesperson for KCMO Public Works, said the city's sign shop plans to reuse older signs that still say Paseo. Green said the original sign changes cost the city $60,000. Recycling the old signs will keep the price lower this time.
"Crews will most likely be adding Saturdays to their schedules to make this changeout happen," Green said. "We didn't throw them out. Can we recycle them? Can we reuse them? We anticipate the cost of this one to be a little less because we`re going to be able to reuse some of those materials."
Green said the work should begin in the next few weeks. She said the changeover project could take a couple of months to finish. Green said the city's sign shop will keep the outgoing Martin Luther King, Jr. street signs, in case there's ever another local street that bears King's name.

Discussion in 'iMac' started by iKnowMr.Jobs, Jan 24, 2015.
I've been considering getting an iMac lately. I don't do much that's very CPU intensive, some video and phot work but nothing professional grade, at least now and I've been trying to decide on which config would be best for me. The $1099 option is an absolute no go for me. So I've been looking at the middle of the road config ($1299) with a fusion drive. I didn't check to see what a RAM cost from Apple would be because Apple is notorious for charging quite a premium for more RAM as opposed to buying it afterwards and installing it manually. Because I've been shopping in the education store where everything is a bit cheaper, including upgrades, going from 8 to 16gb of ram is only $180 compared to buying 16 ram on Amazon for about $140. It's $40 more yeah, but I don't have to go through the tedious process of installing it. Think it's worth it?
Considering the small iMac requires you to remove the screen to get to the ram and therefore risking damage and dust on the screen, the $40 difference isn't that much. Do you have all the tools needed?
Unless you are confident you can do this, you are better off paying Apple for the ram. I don't know how they handle warranty claims for people who open up the machine this way. You may have issues, I don't know.
My point exactly. Saving $40 isn't worth trying to upgrade it myself and risk breaking the nearly $2000 computer. Even if I don't upgrade the RAM for a year or two, and buy $16 gb of RAM for say $80, I still don't think its worth it.
I am a guy that is comfortable with fixing an iPhone screen myself but on an iMac, I'd really rather pass off the responsibility to a professional.
No brainer...spend the 40 bucks....!!


Django promises API stability and forwards-compatibility since version 1.0. In a nutshell, this means that code you develop against a version of Django will continue to work with future releases. You may need to make minor changes when upgrading the version of Django your project uses: see the "Backwards incompatible changes" section of the release note for the version or versions to which you are upgrading.
If, for some reason, an API declared stable must be removed or replaced, it will be declared deprecated but will remain in the API for at least two feature releases. Warnings will be issued when the deprecated method is called.
