Party at the base of Roxy Ann
What I am asking about happened long ago, when I attended Phoenix High School back in the World War II war years. The government brought in Mexican nationals to help in the fall fruit harvest. The workers had an encampment on the southeast flanks of Roxy Ann Peak. I remember one year the workers had some sort of evening celebration with light food and entertainment. The community was invited, and I was one of many who attended. My question is, did this encampment exist or am I delusional? Hoping you wonderful people can dig up something.
— J.D., Medford
We can't tell whether you're delusional, J.D., but you're not wrong about those workers.
During WWII, young men were leaving towns and cities by the thousands.
"Thousands on the West Coast in particular were faced with a labor shortage," said Alec Lamoreaux, operations manager for Northwest Seasonal Workers.
During that time, the Bracero Program came about. Under the program, workers from Mexico came to work in area orchards during the harvest.
Lamoreaux said there were 350 to 400 pear orchards in Medford, including several near the base of Roxy Ann.
The end of the harvest culminated with a celebration — something you know about firsthand, J.D. — and the community would be invited.
Public Law 78, which said these workers could continue to be hired, was signed in 1951. The program eventually ended because of strikes over wages and working conditions, Lamoreaux added.

SKAdNetwork: A Mobile Marketer's Guide (Part 1)
Sep 22, 2022 10:02:58 AM
In 2018, alongside iOS 14, Apple introduced two new privacy-focused technologies. The AppTrackingTransparency (ATT) framework required users to consent to tracking, whereas SKAdNetwork served as an attribution safety net for those that didn't. Here's what marketers need to know about SKAdNetwork in 2022 and beyond.
What is SKAdNetwork?
How SKAdNetwork works
StoreKit-Rendered Ads and View-Through Ads
The limitations of SKAdNetwork
What does SKAdNetwork mean for marketers?
The future of SKAdNetwork
SKAdNetwork (or StoreKit Ad Network) is a privacy-first framework launched by Apple in 2018 to enable advertisers to track the effectiveness of their User Acquisition (UA) campaigns in aggregate, without visibility of user-level data.
SKAdNetwork was created alongside another privacy-focused initiative, Apple's AppTrackingTransparency (ATT) framework. If you've used an iPhone in the last few years, you've probably seen the consent pop-up asking if you're happy for your activity to be tracked. This is an opt-in for IDFA (Apple's unique device ID) sharing, and stats suggest that adoption remains low, with only around 20% of users accepting tracking as of September 2021.
So how do advertisers continue to measure the effectiveness of their UA campaigns without access to IDFA user-level tracking? This is where SKAdNetwork – Apple's campaign tracking safety net – comes into play.
To maintain user privacy, SKAdNetwork is designed to prevent data being traced back to any single individual. It does this via the aggregation of conversion event data combined with a time delay in reporting.
SKAdNetwork relies on three core components:
An app's Ad Network, which signs the ad and is responsible for receiving confirmation should the ad lead to an install.
The source app, where the ad itself is actually displayed.
The advertised app, which is the app being promoted by the ad.
To simplify how conversions are attributed in the SKAdNetwork framework, here's a play-by-play of an ad impression leading to an app install conversion event:
An ad for app 1, which has been signed by an ad network, appears in app 2. The signature of the ad includes an encrypted value for the campaign ID, which is required for attribution.
A user taps the ad within app 2 and is taken to the App Store to install it.
Once installed, an install attribution "postback" is sent to the ad network between 24 and 48 hours later. A postback is essentially a notification sent to an ad network when a specific event – like an app install or in-app action – occurs. Conversion values, which can be used to represent specific actions within an installed app, can optionally be sent alongside the attribution postback.
The ad network receives the winning postback and can share the data with its advertisers. Following iOS 14.6, up to five ad networks can also receive non-winning postbacks. And, starting from iOS 15, developers of advertised apps can also opt-in to get copies of the winning postbacks for reference.
Source: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skadnetwork
It's worth mentioning the two types of ads available via SKAdNetwork: StoreKit-Rendered and View-Through Ads.
At launch, the only ad type available was StoreKit-Rendered, which is essentially a rendering of an app's App Store page alongside an install button to allow users to install directly without having to visit the App Store itself. Once a user clicks the install button, StoreKit presents an overlay of the advertised app's product page. For a StoreKit-Rendered ad to qualify for an install-validation postback, the user must install the app within 30 days.
A StoreKit-Rendered ad in action
With the 2.2 update of SKAdNetwork, Apple also introduced support for View-Through Ads, which can essentially be any type of ad placement – display, video, etc. – served by any supported third-party ad server. For View-Through Ads to qualify for an install-validation postback, the user must install the app within 24 hours.
As changes such as the introduction of View-Through Ads demonstrate, Apple is open to making changes to the SKAdNetwork framework to help marketers get more from their advertising dollars.
That said, there are still plenty of limitations for this framework when compared to IDFA-driven tracking.
To ensure user-level data is further obscured, there is an enforced postback delay of between 24 and 48 hours.
Only 100 campaigns per ad network per-app are supported.
Apple only sends data in aggregate, making smaller scale campaigns more difficult.
For advertisers, aggregated data is only sent to the ad network, meaning it has to be collected from each one they work with. This also necessitates a level of trust in the ad network's reporting.
For publishers, integrating with the SKAdNetwork API is essentially a requirement in a post-IDFA world. Relying on IDFA opt-in rates is likely to be a losing game in the long-run.
For advertisers, SKAdNetwork has become the de facto method for conversion tracking and attribution for CPI and UA campaigns on iOS.
While not a perfect solution, especially compared to IDFA tracking, it's currently the only option to achieve any level of scale in reporting. In addition, with 81% of large app publishers either already using SKAdNetwork or planning to in the near future, the industry's direction of travel seems clear. And where publishers go, advertisers are sure to follow.
With multiple iterations – including some significant changes and improvements – of SKAdNetwork already released, the next big leap is on the horizon.
With SKAdNetwork 4.0, scheduled for release later this year, Apple seeks to make changes to conversion windows, conversion values, and web-to-app tracking for Safari. But we'll save all of that for part 2 of this guide, which we'll link to here as soon as it's available.
In the meantime, if you're a brand or advertiser looking to supercharge your mobile user acquisition, get in touch with the BidCore team to discuss our uniquely powerful in-app solutions.

Updated Tuesday December 5, 2017 by WSLL.
Registration for the 2018 season is opening soon!
Recent changes have been made to BASEBALL DIVISIONS ONLY in determining a players league age. See attached for new age chart and details implementation strategy.
Softball league age chart is attached.
Q. Which level of play should I sign my child up for?
A. Players at ages 5-7 who have never played should start with T-Ball. Players at ages 8-11 who have never played should consider AA baseball or softball. All players ages 9 to 15 wishing to play AAA, Major, Junior or Senior Division Baseball or Softball must try out.* Players at 8 years of age with one year at the AA level may also tryout for AAA baseball or softball.
Q. Does my child have to try out for T-Ball?
A. No, players at the T-Ball and AA levels are assigned to teams by the league.
Q. Do I have to provide proof of residency for my child to play in WSLL?
A. Yes. A league can only accept player candidates who live within the geographic boundaries of the league. Verification of residency is required upon registration of a child. A driver's license, voter's registration card or utility bill is acceptable to confirm permanent legal address. A temporary residence or residence of convenience (grandparents, relatives, friends, day care providers, etc.) is not permitted. A boundary map is available in the Downloadable Form & Files section.
Q. How can I volunteer with WSLL?
A. Volunteers need to fill out a Little League volunteer application each season. The applications can be found in the Downloadable Forms & Files section of this website and will be available at signup dates. Please note two types of volunteer applications. One for those returning as a volunteer and another for those brand new to volunteering with WSLL.

I create and manufacture in Tel -Aviv and almost everything is a walk away from home. The fabrics, the haberdashery in 'Nachalat Binyamin' and all the professionals… everything is so close. When I get my pictures taken around the city, I feel comfortably at home.
The 'Mix' model is based on the first model that appeared in the blog – 'Café Café'. I wanted to combine two opposites: Negative-Positive, Top-Bottom.
In the past few months I learned an important lesson – if you don't try you'll never know. I can draw sketches, imagine and fantasize, but only after buying the fabric and creating a model I know if I have succeeded. Only this way I can see if the fabric really suits the model. I wear the item a few times and inspect it from every possible angle, how it 'sits' on the body and whether it is flattering. I found two fabrics that are a perfect negative of one another; I was ratified. When I enter a fabric store I'm like a little girl in a candy shop, everything seems so new and exciting. I chose a soft summery cotton fabric, with a gentle slightly-retro pattern.
I decide to take the photographs in 'Neve Tzedek', one of the most charming places in Tel Aviv. On the day of shooting I looked for colorful spots and for places that give the feeling of a neighborhood. I love contrasts – old and new, bare and hidden. It's fun to tour the city on foot and discover it anew each time.

Nun Embezzles $853,000.00; Confesses
JayCee Published: June 9, 2021
Photo by Viktor Talashuk on Unsplash
A nun in California has confessed to stealing over $853,000 from the school where she worked.
According to the United States Attorney's Office in the Central District of California, Sister Mary Margaret Kreuper, 79, has pleaded guilty to embezzling the $853,000.00 + from funds that were meant for the school.
She faces fraud and money laundering charges.
Kreuper took her vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience when she was just a young 18 years old, and was, from outward appearances, a model nun for many years. And then they put her in charge.
According to the story in the Washington Post, Kreuper took the reins of St. James Catholic School south of Los Angeles in 1990 and served in that position for 28 years.
Beginning in 2008, she started to divert funds from the main school account and put them into the account the nuns are authorized to use for day-to-day living expenses. For the next 10 years, she was able to divert over $853,000.00 into the nun's expense fund and then used those funds to fuel her gambling addiction.
How did she get away with it? Through lies. She falsified accounting records, taking donations and checks that were meant to fund the school and using them to gamble and pay credit card debts. She also directed employees to destroy documents related to her theft.
After her admission of guilt, the court scheduled her arraignment for July 1st of this year.
If punished to the fullest extent of the law, she will receive 40 years in federal prison.
Something tells me that, due to her age and her many years of dedication to the church, her punishment will not fit the crime.
Money can make good people do bad things.

Semyon Alexandrovich Ginzburg () (1900–1943) was a Soviet tank designer. He enrolled in business school in 1918, but then volunteered for the Red Army in 1919 and served in the light artillery squadron of the 3rd Rifle Division. After the division had retreated to Voronezh, Ginzburg enrolled in the Military Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces and graduated in 1920. He was appointed as a platoon commander in the 52nd Rifle Division and fought at Kakhovka and in Crimea. He continued his studies at the Dzerzhinsky Military Technology Academy in 1926 and graduated in 1929 after specializing in tank designs. He was one of the earliest tank designers in the Soviet Union who expressly studied to become one.

He worked in the GKB (the main design bureau) and in the KB-3 in Moscow. In 1930 he was a member of the Soviet purchasing committee in Great Britain that prepared buying a license for the Vickers 6-Ton tank.

Ginzburg then headed the OKMO experimental group in Leningrad preparing the production of the T-26, based on the acquired Vickers 6-Ton design. Later he was directly involved in development of experimental types like T-33, T-43, T-29, T-46-5, T-100 and T-126SP, as well as in the series built T-26, T-28, T-35 and T-50 types.

A deputy to Joseph Yakovlevich Kotin, himself a deputy to the People's Commissar of the Tank Industry, Ginzburg was directly responsible for development work of the SU-76 light self-propelled gun. The transmission problems of the first serial variant was a reason for his removal from that position and sending to front. He became a chief technical officer of 32nd tank brigade, and was killed during Battle of Kursk.

Q: Pureadmin not working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS I installed pure-ftpd and pureadmin on my computer which is running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using the following command:
sudo apt-get install pure-ftpd
sudo apt-get install pure-ftpd pureadmin

Everything seemed to install fine.
However, when ever I try to open PureAdmin, I get the password entry field, and after entering my password nothing happens?
Any ideas on what to check?

A: Coming in late for an answer, but I once had the same issue and it appeared that pureadmin had to be sudoed.
Please note that before running pureadmin, you should have a pureftpd fully configured and functional.

Woodstock je fiktivni lik žute ptičice koja pripada Snoopyju, fiktivnom liku iz serije stripova Peanuts. Osmislio ga je Charles M. Schulz. Od 60-ih godina često se pojavljuje ptica (ili više njih) koja leži ili sjedi na krovu Snoopyeve kućice, karta, igra tenis i sl. U crtanom filmu Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown, and dont't come back! (1980.)  koji govori o putovanju Charlieva društva u Francusku, Woodstock često pokazuje ljutnju na Snoopya koji radi ili posjeduje jednostavno ono što Woodstock ne podnosi. U Race For You Life, Charlie Brown (1977.) Woodstock pobjeđuje u jednoj utrci života, ali kad je u oluji izgubio svog "vlasnika", Snoopya, jasno pokazuje veliku tugu. Pojavio se
u stripu prvi put 60-ih godina 20. stoljeća.

1967. godine kod Snoopyja dolazi Woodstock, ali on još nema ime. Dobiva ga nakon velikog rock festivala održanoga 1969. godine, 22. lipnja 1970. Kada se glasao, glas mu je posuđivao Bill Melandéz koji je posuđivao glas i Snoopyju.

Iran to enrich uranium upto 20 per cent as soon as possible
By Khalid Mehmood Khalid	 On Jan 3, 2021 121 0
Iran said Saturday (January 2) it plans to enrich uranium up to 20 per cent at its underground Fordo nuclear facility as soon as possible, pushing its program a technical step away from weapons-grade levels as it increases pressure on the West over the tattered atomic deal.
The move comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the US in the waning days of the administration of President Donald Trump, who unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran's nuclear deal in 2018.
That set in motion an escalating series of incidents capped by a US drone strike that killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad a year ago, an anniversary coming Sunday (January 3) that has American officials now worried about possible retaliation by Iran.
Iran's decision to begin enriching to 20 per cent a decade ago nearly brought an Israeli strike targeting its nuclear facilities, tensions that only abated with the 2015 atomic deal. A resumption of 20 per cent enrichment could see that brinksmanship return.
Iran's decision comes after its parliament passed a bill, later approved by a constitutional watchdog, aimed at hiking enrichment to pressure Europe into providing sanctions relief. It also serves as pressure ahead of the inauguration of US President-elect Joe Biden, who has said he is willing to re-enter the nuclear deal.

Editorial | What Every Microscopist Should Know (Take the Challenge)
The Microscope 66 (2), p ii
Excerpt: When I introduce the topic of substance examination and the study of samples to an audience of budding microscopists, I will try to persuade them that once particles are classified, they need not learn how to identify every possible example in that class until they first learn the types of particles that are encountered daily by the microscopist. The number is always far less and more manageable, and this usually puts them at ease — for a while. … It got me thinking that most microscopists will likely never see but a small fraction of any class of any substance no matter how long they live, and they are likely to view 10-20 of them repeatedly in a variety of contexts. So this begs the question: what are the Top 10 of every class of particles every microscopist should know? And, if we haven't learned those 10 yet, we have some catching up to do.
Integrated Optical, Micro-Raman, and Compositional Analysis of Rock Samples from Former Talc Mines in the Gouverneur Mining District, New York
Brittani D. McNamee and Aaron J. Celestian
The Microscope 66 (2), pp 51 – 63
Abstract: In this study we compare the morphology and composition by polarized light microscopy (PLM), micro-Raman spectroscopy, and wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS) using an electron microprobe of tailings samples from two former talc mines in the Gouverneur Mining District in New York State. The main purpose of this project was to better understand the alteration of amphiboles into talc within these samples. The interaction of these minerals along their grain boundaries is important due to the resulting asbestiform and acicular (i.e., non-asbestiform) morphologies of talc and anthophyllite within the rocks in this mining district. Intensity maps created from micro-Raman imaging highlight the different mineral phases present in the samples, while the electron microprobe precisely determines the weight percent oxides of the mineral phases, which aids in their identification. Backscattered electron (BSE) imaging with the microprobe was also used to compare differing mineral compositions with the Raman maps. The samples were prepared as polished thin sections for our analyses. Each mineral phase was discernable from each other through both analyses, however, changes in the talc and amphibole orientations created variable intensities in the Raman maps. The first sample is from the Arnold Pit near Fowler, NY within the mining district and is a talc schist with some tremolite and calcite. The talc occurs primarily as platy crystals and in some fine-grained masses. Compositional and morphological analyses of the minerals suggest the platy talc in this sample is an advanced alteration product of non-asbestiform anthophyllite. The fine-grained talc in this sample potentially formed from a separate hydrothermal event. The tremolite occurs as unaltered, blocky crystals. Some of the tremolite and calcite crystals are fractured without any visible alteration with fine-grained talc filling in the fractures. The second sample is from the Talcville mine near Talcville, NY and is a tremolite schist with some crystals of anthophyllite, talc, and phlogopite. The tremolite is long, acicular, and unaltered. Phlogopite occurs as plates in the sample. Anthophyllite grains are acicular and fractured perpendicular to the long axis of the grain. Talc occurs as an alteration product as fine-grained masses along the edges of anthophyllite grains and within the fractures of the anthophyllite.
Observations on Temperature Variations in Liquid Mounts During Light Microscopical Investigations
Jan Burmeister
Abstract: The precise measurement of refractive indices (RIs) of transparent small particles in a liquid mount slide preparation (using classical light microscopy and polarized light microscopy techniques) requires exact knowledge of the slide preparation temperature, and that the necessary temperature coefficient calculation be performed for the liquid before reporting final measurement results. Commercially available RI standards for microscopy are supplied as liquids in bottles with the temperature coefficient printed on the label or available from the manufacturer. Previous proposals for temperature measurements in a microscope's light path (as published in handbooks and online articles) may be misleading due to the large and thermally inert mass of the mercury-containing thermometer bulbs that are routinely used today. An experimental setup was devised and duly calibrated using a miniature negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor as the temperature sensor and a high-resolution ohmmeter to observe temperature effects in a way that is much closer to reality than the older, obsolete procedures. The results for this particular setup show that only negligible thermal effects are observed in slide preparations containing three drops of immersion liquid. Extrapolation calculations for situations with less liquid show that, in such cases, the expected temperature effects are also small to negligible.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti XC Ultra we're testing today strikes a balanced compromise. Nvidia's $280 GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is the best GPU you can buy for 1080p gaming, full stop. It's an enticing option for 1440p gaming too, usurping the last-gen GTX 1070 that debuted at nearly $100 more.
But while Nvidia offers its own "Founders Edition" graphics cards for all RTX 20-series GPUs, it's skipping direct consumer sales for the return of the GTX brand. That means the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti's launch consists solely of models sold by Nvidia's board partners, each with its own unique spin.
We've already reviewed the Asus ROG Strix GTX 1660 Ti and fell in love with its borderline overkill custom cooler and abundant features. But at $330, the triple-slot behemoth commands a steep $50 price premium. The EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti XC Ultra we're testing today offers a hefty overclock like the Asus ROG Strix and a customized dual-fan cooler of its own, but in a more accommodating dual-slot design—and for $20 less.
Can EVGA's GTX 1660 Ti XC Ultra ($310 on Amazon or Newegg) impress even with less raw heavy metal than the mammoth ROG Strix? Spoiler alert: Yep. Let's dig in.
Before we dig into EVGA's customizations, here's a quick refresher on the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti's core tech specs. Highlights include a massive jump in overall memory bandwidth thanks to an upgrade to ultra-fast GDDR6 VRAM, and a massive upgrade in Turing GPU-enhanced CUDA cores, all at the same 120-watt TDP as the older GTX 1060. Spectacular stuff—though note that all GTX 1660 Ti models lack the dedicated ray tracing and AI hardware found in the pricier RTX 20-series GPUs.
The EVGA GTX 1660 Ti sticks to the reference specifications with one key exception: the GPU clock speed. EVGA's card claims the same 1,860MHz boost clock speed as the ROG Strix, a sizeable 90MHz increase over the reference spec. Also like the ROG Strix, the EVGA GTX 1660 Ti XC Ultra actually soars even higher out of the box, maintaining clock speeds around 1,935MHz to 1,950MHz in most games. It's fast.
EVGA's graphics card maintains those supercharged clock speeds thanks to its potent custom cooler. The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti XC Ultra includes the overhauled custom cooling design found on many of EVGA's RTX 20-series GPUs. Dual hydraulic dynamic bearing (HDB) axial fans emblazoned with tiny "E"s sit atop a deep, dense heat sink, and EVGA claims that the mixture of HDB fans with the tiny letters result in a 19 percent reduction in noise levels compared to competing fans with sleeve-bearing fan designs. We can't quantify that ourselves, but there's no question that the EVGA GTX 1660 Ti XC Ultra runs pretty quietly for such a potent graphics card.
The custom cooler wasn't the only thing EVGA redesigned from the ground up for this generation. The company's Precision X1 software has evolved into one of the slickest and easiest-to-use overclocking tools available, with everything you need to push your GPU to new heights—including dead-simple one-button automatic overclocking for folks who don't like to get their hands dirty. It's highly recommended if you have any interest in tinkering with your graphics card.
Returning to physical design, the EVGA GTX 1660 Ti XC Ultra sticks to basic port options, limiting itself to solitary HDMI, DisplayPort, and dual-link DVI connections—though we're very happy to see the latter whatsoever. By comparison, the Asus ROG Strix dumps DVI, but doubles up on HDMI and DisplayPorts. EVGA's card measures 10.5 inches long and requires only a single 8-pin power connection, so it should have no problem slipping into the vast majority of gaming PCs.
Wrapping things up, it's worth noting a few omissions on EVGA's card, RGB LEDs being the most glaring. We're fine with the decision, but it's increasingly rare to see a modern graphics card without flashing lights. The card also lacks a backplate, but that's not really a negative either—just a point worth mentioning given that this is EVGA's highest-end GTX 1660 Ti offering.
But enough tech spec talk! Let's take the EVGA GTX 1660 Ti XC Ultra to the test bench.
The EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti XC Ultra strips out fancy extras to focus purely on great performance in all functional areas. It's an outstanding all-around graphics card.

PSEG Long Island to Reimburse Customers for Food and Medicines Spoiled During Tropical Storm Isaias
(UNIONDALE, N.Y. – Aug. 17, 2020) – PSEG Long Island is expanding its claims policy due to the COVID-19 pandemic so that customers whose electrical service was interrupted by Tropical Storm Isaias for at least 72 hours can be reimbursed for spoiled food and medication. The tropical storm knocked out power for more than 420,000 customers on Long Island and in the Rockaways, making it the most destructive storm since Superstorm Sandy.
"We recognize that losing power in August, together with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, was a hardship for many of our customers," PSEG Long Island President and COO Daniel Eichhorn said. "Given the unique combination of circumstances, we believe the right thing to do is to expand our claims process to ease the burden on the customers most impacted by Tropical Storm Isaias."
PSEG Long Island will reimburse residential customers up to $250 and commercial customers up to $5,000 for food spoilage if their service was interrupted for 72 hours or longer between Aug. 4, and Aug. 12, 2020 because of Tropical Storm Isaias.
For residential customers, food spoilage claims of $150 or less must include an itemized list. Food spoilage claims over $150 must include an itemized list and proof of loss (for example: cash register tapes, store or credit card receipts, canceled checks or photographs of spoiled items).
Separately, customers will be reimbursed for losses, up to a maximum of $300, for prescription medications that spoiled due to lack of refrigeration. Customers must provide an itemized list of the medications and proof of loss (for example: pharmacy prescription label or pharmacy receipt identifying the medicine).
Commercial customers applying for reimbursement must supply an itemized list of spoiled food and proof of loss (invoices, inventory lists, bank statements).
Customers can apply for reimbursement at www.psegliny.com/claims. The reimbursement claims cannot be processed over the phone.
Customers will have until Sept. 16, 2020 to file claims. Reimbursement is expected to take up to 60 business days from when a proper claim form is completed and submitted to PSEG Long Island.

Yesterday (Aug. 1), University of Cambridge mathematician Caucher Birkar won the Fields Medal — the highest prize in mathematics, awarded every four years to a small group of mathematicians age 40 or younger. The award came with a 14-carat gold medal and 15,000 Canadian dollars (about $11,500). According to the BBC, Birkar put the medal in his briefcase, along with his wallet and phone, and left the briefcase on a table in the Rio de Janeiro conference center where the award was presented.
When he returned, the briefcase was gone.
Birkar was one of four mathematicians to recieve a Fields Medal in 2018. He recieved the prize for his work in the field of algebraic geometry.
"As a mathematician," Quanta Magazine explained in a profile published Aug. 1, "Birkar has helped bring order to the infinite variety of polynomial equations — those equations that consist of different variables raised to various powers. No two equations are exactly alike, but Birkar has helped reveal that many can be neatly categorized into a small number of families. In two papers published in 2016 he showed that an infinite number of different polynomials can be defined by a finite number of characteristics — a result which demonstrated that this bewildering array of seemingly unrelated algebraic equations shares something in common." [What Is Topology?]
This is one of the Fields Medals awarded in 2018, held by its winner, Birkar's co-honoree Alessio Figalli (who, as far as we know, still has his award). (Image credit: Silvia Izquierdo/AP/Shutterstock)
Birkar, a Kurdish refugee from Iran, is the second person born in Iran to win a Fields Medal in this decade. Maryam Mirzakhani, a Stanford mathematician from Iran, became the first (woman and remains the only one ) to win a Fields Medal in 2014. She died in 2017 at the age of 40.


I often wish I had access to balanced coverage of Turkish politics. The combination of the anti-government rhetoric of my largely Left-leaning Turkish family and the pro-opposition narrative of the British Press provides a wholly unsatisfactory picture.
This is not the lament of an AKP supporter — I'm not one by any means. I acknowledge that they have done great things for their country, but they also have many shortcomings. As an outsider, many of their actions perplex me. No, this is not the lament of an ardent supporter protesting bias; it is just an ode to balance.
The way Turkish politics are reported in Britain, you'd think the leftist HDP obtained the majority vote in the June elections or that they are a dominant force in Turkish politics. But of course the truth is that the ruling AKP obtained 41% of votes, followed by the secularist CHP with 25%. The HDP, by contrast received just 13% of the votes, however significant that may be in their own terms.
I have no idea how November's elections will play out. One thing is certain though: the British press will continue to ignore the majority who vote for either the AKP or CHP. It is as if only 10% of the electorate matter to Britain's divisive journalists.


Here's me and Takae with the dream catcher.
Then we headed to Parliament hill for politics central. Takae wanted to meet Steven Harper, but the darn guy wasn't in that day (or at least we didn't see him).
We did sit in on the Senate and House of Commons sessions, but photography in there wasn't allowed, so if you wanna see, you'll have to come up to Ottawa!!!
Then we headed to the Royal Canadian Mint where our money gets printed, and then the National Art Gallery.
Finally, we crossed the bridge over to Hull to check out the Museum of Civilisation.
On the bridge. That's the Ottawa river you see that separates the provinces of Ontario and Quebec as well as the cities of Ottawa and Hull. That big building with the round roof to the right of the high-rise is the museum.
You get a good view of the back of Parliament Hill when you cross the bridge. The brown-roofed round looking building to the left of the Peace Tower is the National Library.
AND OF COURSE DINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We wanted to go to Chinatown for hotpot, but it was already 9pm by the time we finished touring the museum, so we settled on a Japanese restaurant down the street from our apartment instead. Dinner was much fun with plenty of Kazuki-centred discussion headed by yours truly.
the creepy giant spider statue that's in front of the art gallery that just sounds wrong...-_-'...why the heck do they want to put a spider (of all things) infront of a building??
haha so cute XD and i get to see the parliament since i'll probably never go.
and the food looks soooooooooooo delicious.
Tell Takae she now has her very own fangirl.
(then again, it'll probabky scare her, so don't. XD BUT SHE DOES LOOK GOOD).

LSE–LANCET COMMISSION
THE FUTURE of THE NHS
© 2020 LSE
What is a Lancet Commission?
A Lancet Commission involves a partnership with world-renowned institutions and policy experts to focus on wide-reaching issues. Previous Lancet Commissions have covered areas such as Antimicrobial Resistance and AIDS. Each Lancet Commission is different, but all involve a panel of academics who use their collective expertise and draw on input from diverse sets of stakeholders to dissect the driving factors behind the issue at hand, produce original research when possible and a series of policy recommendations. Previous examples of Lancet Commissions are accessible via www.thelancet.com/commissions.
Why a Lancet Commission on the future of the NHS?
There is a historic precedent for major commissions in the NHS. For example, the 1979 Royal Commission on the NHS offered several important insights into its operation. Other landmark reports have contributed significantly to the evaluation and development of the NHS, for example, the 1980 Black Report exposed the growing health inequalities across the population, the 2004 Wanless Report successfully argued for increased funding for the NHS via general taxation and the recent House of Lords Committee has highlighted the need for new models of care and earmarked sustainable funding. Moving forward, there is a need for an independent and objective perspective on the NHS. The LSE–Lancet Commission aims to provide this perspective.
The London School of Economics and Political Science
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is a world-renowned educational institution, ranked 2nd in the world for social sciences. The Department of Health Policy is one of the largest health policy research groups in the UK, and through its Head, Professor Elias Mossialos, and Deputy Head, Professor Alistair McGuire, will devote significant time and resources to ensure the success of the Commission. LSE hopes to build on a long tradition at the university, such as the work of previous LSE Director, Professor William Beveridge, whose seminal 'Beveridge Report' provided the intellectual underpinnings for the establishment of the NHS and others, such as Professor Brian Abel-Smith and Professor Richard Titmuss, who played an important role in supporting the continued development of the NHS throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
The Department of Health Policy is devoted to excellence in multidisciplinary teaching across the full range of health economics and health policy, including the areas of health systems analysis, assessment of health policy reforms, global health governance, health services research, health econometrics, microeconomic analysis of health care, the analysis of individual health behaviours, the economics of long-term care, pharmaceutical policy and economics, and comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of individual treatments.
What will the Commission focus on?
The Commission hopes to address the main challenges facing the NHS in both the immediate future and the next 20 years. These issues are wide ranging, from establishing sustainable funding, to securing a sufficient and skilled workforce and addressing the conflicting incentives between the multitude of organisations within the NHS. In addition, the Commission will consider the health inequalities in the population and the difficulties in accessing consistent and high-quality care, while also considering changing healthcare needs set against a background of shifting public expectations and involvement in healthcare. Lastly, the Commission will focus on the information needs for the NHS, as well as the role of technology moving forward.
The Commission involves over 20 commissioners from many disciplines including health policy, public health and epidemiology, as well as healthcare professionals and managers who have practical experience of tackling the problems facing the NHS. The commissioners are based across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This helps ensure lessons can be learnt from the different governance structures and delivery mechanisms in place across the UK. The full list of commissioners is available here.
Commission outputs
The Commission will produce two outputs. The first will be released in mid-2018 and is a background paper analysing international healthcare financing arrangements and exploring what lessons can be learnt for the NHS. The main Commission output will be a comprehensive report released in 2019.

However, in the near future radio will shed of its age old technology and adapt to newer digital versions. Towers and transmitters will become a thing of the future and the majority of the content will be transferred via the internet. This will lead to highly improved efficiency and huge savings in operational cost.
Single Operators for Radio, TV & News
