As artificial intelligence becomes a more prominent part of the industry, a smart home is no longer just one that can react to your voice commands or be controlled by a home automation app, but one that can do all that while learning how to better answer your questions, follow your commands, and predict based on your preferences.
Smart home automation is changing as the capabilities of AI grow. If your home automation system utilizes a Nest Learning Thermostat or Vivint Element Thermostat, artificial intelligence is already part of your smart home, with your thermostat studying your daily routine and creating a schedule based on your preferences—all while saving you energy. If you take advantage of voice-activated, hands-free control with a personal assistant like the Amazon Echo, you may experience your home getting smarter very soon.
That's because Amazon itself is working on AI chips for their full line of smart speakers, including the Echo and the Dot. These chips will allow Alexa, your virtual personal assistant, to answer your questions faster. The way Alexa currently works, the device doesn't actually understand what you're asking. Instead, it turns your question into data, then sends that data to the cloud, asking Amazon's servers for an answer. Integrated chips will allow Alexa to understand and answer the question itself—all while learning what types of questions you ask and how you ask them.
Google is powering its own Google Assistant, available on newer Android phones and Google's smart speakers, with WaveNet, developed by Google's AI division, DeepMind. WaveNet improves text-to-speech, learning as it goes, to make conversing with your smart home more natural than ever. WaveNet's neural network uses recordings of real speech to generate new waveforms rather than simply gluing together bits of pre-recorded speech, the way other text-to-speech devices do.
Initially, these improvements will likely only decrease response time for simple queries like what the weather will be like that day, and how natural the device's response sounds. But as the capabilities grow, artificial intelligence in home automation will change the game. You won't need to remember to activate your home automation security system because your smart home will learn what times of the day your home is unoccupied and needs to be secured. Smart plugs will better regulate your energy use. You won't have to program settings for room lighting, because your system will learn your preferences. The limits to how AI can be used to improve your home are determined only by the imagination of those creating new products.
Those limits are there, however. Many smart home devices are used to solve problems that humans already could. While it's convenient to set a timer with your voice while cooking, it's not essential. For AI to become a major part of everyone's home, it must work quickly and solve problems that humans can't. While a very advanced artificial intelligence home automation system isn't here yet, we're getting there, and the future of home automation and security is looking very promising.

Resistance Behind Bars: Robert King
March 12, 2011 Andrea Gibbons Leave a comment
How do you organise around ideals and fight back in a system designed to control and repress any and all dissent? It is an important question for all of us, but how much more so for those actually trapped behind prison walls?
On the 9th at Birkbeck we held a small workshop with Robert King of the Angola 3 and Denise McNeil of the Yarl's Wood 3, sponsored by the law college and holding maybe 30 people or so. We took the opportunity to do it, with the help of the marvelous Sarah Lamble and Isabelle Fremeaux of Birkbeck, given Robert King is back in London!
It's always such a pleasure to have him here, though I confess I have been dead sick this go round. But the antibiotics have kicked in and I am finally getting round to the blog!
The goal was to get into an in depth discussion of the parallels between two countries increasingly turning to prisons to control their populations. The stats on the US are familiar enough, two and half million in prison, over 8 million within the system through probation, 1 in 9 black males under 25 in jail. The UK seems to stretching itself to join it: prison populations have hit record highs, and as a proportion of the population, blacks are incarcerated at an even higher rate. Only this month, Met officers were asked to explain why blacks were the victims of tasering at such a higher rate (50% of recorded taserings, though about 2% of the population).
Denise was getting her son ready for school when the police and immigration burst into the block of flats looking for the man living upstairs. They searched her flat looking for him, and arrested her violently in front of her son for the small amount of cannabis in her bag. Violence has been at the forefront of her encounters with the system. She served her six months, and was then immediately transferred to another prison to await deportation. She was there a year and a half, and only just recently released on bail after long struggle in the courts. Two other women, Sheree Wilson and Aminata Camara, remain in prison.
Her stay in immigration prison was both indefinite and abusive, and she joined other women in a five week hunger strike. She was there when the guards locked the striking women into a corridor for hours with no toilet facilities, food or water. She was beaten by guards and placed into solitary confinement for four weeks. You can read Denise's statement on the hunger strike as given to the Guardian two weeks into it here.
In Yarl's Wood the women worked to overcome barriers of language and race to come together and strike to improve their conditions; those perceived as the leaders were thrown into solitary. Angola the same, with the duration of solitary being the primary difference. As King said, however, solitary always changes you, traumatizes you, no matter how long or short a time you stay there. He has known men to be broken in only a day, it is in itself an inhuman thing to do to another human being and should be abolished.
So how did they organize? Talking to each other, the way you do on the outside. In some UK prisons you are allowed mobiles, which clearly facilitates things a great deal. But you can always pass messages. King remembers from solitary, men who were so skilled they could bank rolled up balls of newspaper off of a wall and into any cell they chose. You bribe orderlies and guards with cigarettes. You use fraying threads from your shirt to create strings to pass or collect notes. The ingenuity of human beings is incredible, and where there is a will to organise and improve conditions, there seems to be a way to do it.
This is just a very small taste of Wednesday's inspiration of course, I'd definitely encourage you to listen to the podcast here, and please do look at the campaign pages for the Angola 3 and the Yarl's Wood 3 to see what you can do.
There have been a whole round other events for King of course. We started it all off on Monday 7th March at UCL, screening In the Land of the Free to over 300 people in the Cruciform Theatre, followed by a discussion with King and director Vadim Jean. We also heard poignant statements from the other two of the Angola 3, Albert Woodfox and Herman Wallace, sent to us from their cells where they continue to be held unjustly:
Similar events were held at Birkbeck, Centerprise, the George Padmore Institute, the Karibu Centre and Rio Cinema in Hackney. A great tour all round, and still a few more private events to go…
So if you missed the events, buy a book or dvd, I promise you will not regret it, and your money will go to Robert or the Angola 3 campaign. No better cause I could think of.

We know that navigating the Canadian immigration system with a conviction can be confusing- there are a myriad of forms, fees, and regulations that can seem impossible to understand. That's why we've decided to answer the most basic, common questions that we get from our clients. Hopefully this can shed light on some of your areas of concern. Everything you need to know before you reach the border.
If you have committed a crime that makes you inadmissible, such as driving under the influence, assault, or theft (full list below), then you likely need a "Criminal Rehabilitation" or "Temporary Residence Permit" to be able to enter the country, whether you are entering by land, sea or air. Here is a list of the most commonly asked questions about this process, and the steps that you should complete before attempting to cross the border.
What crimes make me inadmissible?
Here is a list of the crimes that will make you inadmissible to Canada (this list is not exhaustive and is a compilation of the majority of cases we see/hear about).
DUI (including DWI, DWAI, reckless driving, etc.)
weapons violations
vehicular manslaughter (voluntary or involuntary)
drug manufacturing or cultivation
failure to appear
racketeering (RICO)
resisting an officer (resisting arrest)
soliciation
aiding & abetting
motor-vehicle theft
What is the difference between a Temporary Residence Permit and a Criminal Rehabilitation?
A Criminal Rehabilitation, if accepted, waives your inadmissibility to Canada permanently. Therefore, if you are eligible for a Criminal Rehabilitation, it is advised that you apply for it as well as a Temporary Residence Permit, since the Criminal Rehabilitation offers a permanent solution, while the Temporary Residence Permit only offers a temporary one.
A Temporary Resident Permit is not permanent, and only extends to a granted, specific, period of time. A Temporary Residence Permit restricts the length of your stay, and makes you subject to various conditions, such as not being allowed to work or study without a work or study permit, not allowed to re-enter Canada, and being forced to leave immediately after your authorized stay.
I committed a DUI, but it was over 10 years ago, do I still need a Temporary Residence Permit?
Yes. If you committed a DUI over 10 years ago, you are technically deemed rehabilitated, but it is ultimately up to the discretion of the border officer whether or not you are refused. It is always safer to have a completed Temporary Residence Permit or Criminal Rehabilitation with you at the border. Also, it is important to note that if you were convicted of a DUI after December 2018, your DUI is now considered a serious crime in Canada and will never expire.
I committed a different crime (not a DUI) that makes me inadmissible, but it was over 10 years ago, do I still need a permit?
Yes. If you have committed some offences over 10 years ago, you are technically automatically deemed rehabilitated. However, it is ultimately up to the discretion of the border officer whether or not you are refused. It is always safer to have a completed Temporary Residence Permit with you at the border.
How does Canada know that I have committed a crime?
Whenever anyone is arrested and fingerprinted, a criminal record is created, which can be accessed at the Canadian border, where there is no presumption of innocence.
What if I was only arrested and not convicted?
You will need to provide evidence that the charges were dropped or that the relevant charges did not result in a conviction. If you don't, the border officer can still see your arrest records and will not presume that you were innocent of the crime.
How do I complete a Temporary Residence Permit or Criminal Rehabilitation?
You have to provide your criminal background and court records and photo government identification documents (preferably a passport). You must also provide an account of the circumstances of the crime you committed, a personal reflection on how you have rehabilitated, and proof that your reason for traveling to Canada is legitimate.
What counts as a legitimate reason to enter Canada?
This is up to the discretion of the border official. However, normally leisure requests are not granted. Work related travel and travel for significant personal events (weddings, funerals, etc.) are more likely to be accepted as valid.
What if I was convicted of the crime as a minor?
This will not impact your admissibility.
How much does it cost to submit an application on my own?
The processing fee depends on what is on your record – for regular criminality like DUI the processing fee is $200 CAD. For more serious offences the fee is $1000 CAD – those offences include drug trafficking, financial crimes over $5000, anything involving weapons, minors or sexual offences.
Around 4 months for a Temporary Residence Permit and 12 months for a Criminal Rehabilitation
If my application gets rejected, is there an appeal process?
There is no appeal process – if you are denied entry you can try to procide additional evidence/proof of your rehabilitation and re-apply
What if my Criminal Rehabilitation is rejected but my Temporary Residence Permit is accepted?
This is completely ok for your upcoming trip. But, depending on the conditions of your Temporary Residence Permit, you may have to apply again for future visits.

Most students who are bullied do not report their experiences. This was the case 30 years ago and still is the case today according to Co-Director of the Cyberbullying Research Centre, Justin W Patchin.
A pilot study from 15 years ago even confirms this, showing fewer than 15% of those who had been cyberbullied told an adult about it. Of this, 10% informed a parent, while 5% reported it to the school.

How would I say: Why do you know? Can one rearrange the word order, like one does in English, to change the emphasis and thus the meaning of the sentence?
I was wrong for "Why do you know?" and was also wonder how THAT SENTENCE READS IN HUNGARIAN.
"Why do you know?" - "Miért tudod?"
"Do you know why?" - "Tudod, miért?"
Why is this definite, i.e. not Tudsz miért?
I can understand Nem tudom. "I don't know (it)." by itself, but asking for "Do you know why it?" seems to have two objects: knowing it, and knowing why.
Or does "why" as a concept count as something definite?
As a quick rule of thumb, tud in the sense of knowing something factual or knowing an answer (as opposed to its other main use knowing how / being able to do something) is almost always definite. The logic behind this is basically, "Do you know [the answer]?" or "I know [the fact]".
which doesn't have any apparent word as the object for tudom but the object is the following clause, and the sentence could be written more fully to make that explicit: Azt tudom, hogy fáj.
Incidentally, I see that I'm starting to get into the part of the course where it's "guess which one possible wording is accepted (so far)" territory.
I wonder how the people who got further than this managed to do it while retaining their sanity. Keeping a notepad with the currently-accepted wordings somewhere to copy and paste?
I see a good deal more reporting in my future.
This is one of the reasons why I love the Hungarian language so much. It is utterly logical. A language of chess players. Everything makes sense.
For a language "utterly logical" their speakers failed to create a course that is even close to anything I would call logical in many regards.
Everything makes sense? Every rule seems to have exceptions. We use azt unless we don't bother... That is not chess but any game were rules are bent to make a child happy.
So, I can not really agree. Hungarian has a nice sound due to vowel harmony, but its grammar is a mess like probably in all languages.
"rules are bent to make a child happy"
Exactly! That's why people are happy in Hungary!
The rules are only there to serve us, not the other way around.
And I guess the exceptions are "historical artifacts", a cultural heritage.
It's not "Do you know why it?", but "Do you know it, why?"
And ..., hogy miért also sounds illogical to me, since in the languages I had learned so far, "why" can start a relative clause by itself.
Perhaps I'll have to think of it as something like "Do you know the following: why .... ?".
Oops, sorry, I thought it made sense. :D I was still thinking in Hungarian, it seems.
"Látni akarom, hogy mennyit csináltál."
"Azt" is similarly optional in these sentences (but the definite conjugation is necessary in the first clause).
I learned something early on that has served me very well over the years. It is about when to use "what" "which" and "that". It is specifically about the word "what", when it is not a question word. It is a simple test, to decide whether the usage of "what" is correct.
The word "what", when it is not a question word, can ALWAYS be replaced by these words: "the thing that". If you are not sure whether to use "what", substitute the words "the thing that" in the sentence. If it does sound correct, "what" is to be used. It never failed me.
"What I said is correct" - "The thing that I said is correct"
"I don't know what you mean" - "I don't know the thing that you mean".
And so on. All correct sentences. I am not saying they mean the same thing (they do), but they are all correct. So, the use of "what" is correct.
"Yogurt is delicious, what is a surprise" - "Yogurt is delicious, the thing that is a surprise".
Oops... Incorrect. Seriously, it works perfectly.
But the point I am trying to make here is this: the word "what", as "THE THING that" has an implied, built-in, definite object. And that is what makes it a definite construction.
And this is equally true for all the other similar words ("where", "why", "who", etc.). They all have this built-in definite object, even if it may not be so easy to put into words. Because they don't have their own specific satellite words like "what" does in "that". But the concept still stands.
"where" - "the place where"
"who" - "the person that/who"
So, "tudod" in the sentence above is addressing that implied direct object hidden in the "W" word.

Creativity:
Don't let the conservative image fool you, their music is as far away from Catholicism as it comes. Frank Peterson, the renowned, long-serving producer of Sarah Brightman, had the idea of integrating Gregorian chant with pop music in the eighties. He teamed together with Michael Cretu and David Fairstein and created Enigma who had a worldwide hit with Peterson's co-written 'Sadeness (Part I)'. Peterson left the project soon after, but took the idea of Gregorian and pop with him. He briefly put this into motion on his own in 1991, releasing an album titled Sadisfaction, but it wasn't until 1999 that he truly began the project he dreamed of. Gregorian has become a surprise success in Germany. They frequently tour there, and have released several DVDs. Unlike Enigma, this project is devoted to pop and classic rock, and dodges electronica and new age. As time has gone on, Peterson has concentrated on a more gothic sound. They cover well known chart hits, such as 'Vienna', 'Tears In Heaven', 'With or Without You', 'Sacrifice' and 'My Immortal'. It sounds bizarre, and it shouldn't work, but it does. They also have the odd original song, frequently offered by Amelia Brightman. She and her sister, Sarah Brightman, often lend their vocals to the project. Due to the ambiguity of their name, it's best to search them as 'Gregorian: Masters of Chant' which is how they have named most of their albums.

La Chapelle-Vicomtesse est une commune française située dans le département de Loir-et-Cher en région Centre-Val de Loire.

Située au nord-ouest du département de Loir-et-Cher, la commune fait de la grande région du Perche, caractérisé par une forme mouvementée de relief. Elle est drainée, dans sa partie nord, par la Grenne et par divers petits cours d'eau. L'intersection du  parallèle nord et du  méridien à l'est de Greenwich se trouve sur le territoire de la commune.

L'occupation des sols est marquée par l'importance des espaces agricoles et naturels qui occupent la totalité du territoire communal. Un espace naturel présente un intérêt patrimonial, la « Vallée de la Grenne », qui est recensée dans l'inventaire national du patrimoine naturel comme zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF). En 2010, l'orientation technico-économique de l'agriculture sur la commune est la polyculture et le polyélevage. À l'instar du départemental qui a vu disparaître le quart de ses exploitations en dix ans, le nombre d'exploitations agricoles a fortement diminué, passant de 23 en 1988 à 10 en 2010.

Le territoire communal est intégré aux aires de productions de divers produits bénéficiant d'une indication géographique protégée (IGP), dont les Volailles de l'Orléanais, les Volailles du Maine et les vins du Val de Loire.

Avec  en 2017, la commune fait partie des  les plus faiblement peuplées de Loir-et-Cher.

Ce type affecte l'ensemble du Bassin parisien avec une extension vers le sud, et en particulier la plus grande partie du département de Loir-et-Cher. Le climat reste océanique mais avec de belles dégradations. Les températures sont intermédiaires et les précipitations sont faibles (moins de  de cumul annuel), surtout en été, mais les pluies tombent en moyenne sur  en janvier et sur 8 en juillet, valeurs moyennes rapportées à l'ensemble français. La variabilité interannuelle des précipitations est minimale tandis que celle des températures est élevée.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir cette typologie comportent  pour les températures et 8 pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent aux données mensuelles sur la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-contre. Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont pu depuis évoluer.

Milieux naturels et biodiversité

Zones nationales d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique

L'inventaire des zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF) a pour objectif de réaliser une couverture des zones les plus intéressantes sur le plan écologique, essentiellement dans la perspective d'améliorer la connaissance du patrimoine naturel national et de fournir aux différents décideurs un outil d'aide à la prise en compte de l'environnement dans l'aménagement du territoire. Le territoire communal de Chapelle-Vicomtesse comprend une ZNIEFF : la « Vallée de la Grenne » ().

Planification
La loi SRU du  a incité fortement les communes à se regrouper au sein d'un établissement public, pour déterminer les partis d'aménagement de l'espace au sein d'un SCoT, un document essentiel d'orientation stratégique des politiques publiques à une grande échelle. La commune est dans le territoire du  SCOT des Territoires du Grand Vendômois, approuvé en 2006 et dont la révision a été prescrite en 2017, pour tenir compte de l'élargissement de périmètre.

En matière de planification, la commune, en 2017, avait engagé l'élaboration d'un plan local d'urbanisme.

Risques majeurs

Le territoire communal de Chapelle-Vicomtesse est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : inondations (par débordement ), climatiques (hiver exceptionnel ou canicule), mouvements de terrains ou sismique (sismicité très faible).
Les mouvements de terrains susceptibles de se produire sur la commune sont soit des mouvements liés au retrait-gonflement des argiles, soit des glissements de terrains. Le phénomène de retrait-gonflement des argiles est la conséquence d'un changement d'humidité des sols argileux. Les argiles sont capables de fixer l'eau disponible mais aussi de la perdre en se rétractant en cas de sécheresse. Ce phénomène peut provoquer des dégâts très importants sur les constructions (fissures, déformations des ouvertures) pouvant rendre inhabitables certains locaux. La carte de zonage de cet aléa peut être consultée sur le site de l'observatoire national des risques naturels Georisques.

Brawny Man is the manliest of the major paper towel brands. But he got a makeover a few years back and cleaned up his image. So if you wanna go full brawny like back in the 70s, you'll want to grow out your hair, wear a mustache, and show a little chest.


The number of transactions was expected to increase.
This is the second straight month of declines.
According to the NAR, sales of homes priced below $100,000 plunged about 18 percent in May from a year ago. Houses for sale typically stayed on the market for 26 days in May, matching April's seven-year low and slightly down from 27 days a year ago. Fifty-eight percent of homes sold in May were on the market for less than a month.


An affordable survivor exotic that's built for grand touring comfort. Yes, this 1983 Porsche 928S is the perfect car to take on a long weekend trip and then find a car show to showcase it.The 928 has aged gracefully as it has become a classic in its own right. Smooth and purposeful, it still generates a ton of attention out on the road, and despite its modest asking price, folks will still think you won the lottery if you park it in your garage. In fact, its perpetual high-end appearance is why this coupe has been so well pampered and the original paint is in particularly nice condition. That's good news because the factory Ruby Red Metallic is one of those deep and sophisticated colors that never goes out of style. The same goes for the great-looking sport alloy wheels. The 928 was Porsche's most expensive model by a wide margin in 1983, and you received exceptional build quality for your house-sized sticker price. Fit and finish are exemplary, so you can shut the doors with confidence every time. The S offered a larger rear wing, flush-mounted taillights, and, of course, those instantly recognizable retracting headlights. Typical Porsche focus on the driver dominates the interior, with comfortable tan leather buckets and a perfect driving position. Averaging less than 1,200 mile a year means very little seat time. So the driver's bucket shows minimal wear for being original and 30+ years-old. In fact, all four seats are buckets to provide the best individual comfort in supple leather. The carpets, door panels, dash, and headliner are all in coordinating earthtones and have a time machine level of freshness that will make you believe it's 1983 all over again. As a true grand touring Porsche, this comes loaded with features like power windows, power seats, cruise control, sunroof, and provisions for air conditioning. In fact, the only non-factory item you'll find is an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo. It doesn't look out of place in the dash, and provides more modern tunes, but purists will be happy to know the original radio comes with the sale. You'll love sitting behind the original 928 tilt wheel and watching the full gauge pack do its dance and you dig into the deep tones of the motor.Under the hood is the original 4.7-liter V8 that with more displacement for '83 pumped out a very respectable 234 horsepower. The overhead cam motor provides the best of both worlds as it has muscle car-like low-end torque, yet shrieks to redline like an exotic when you prod of the accelerator. The exhaust note is truly a symphony for the ears that you control all with your right foot. The transxale setup makes for a wonderfully balanced feeling on the road, and that's exactly where this car belongs. Sure, it's a survivor with ultra low mileage and so many original components, but you should never deny yourself the pleasure of driving an affordable and powerful Porsche. Especially when it has great driving features such as a fully independent suspension, performance-mined four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes.The market is catching up to the 928, but there's still time to get into a fully sorted survivor like this one. It even comes with the original warranty card, owner's manual, and maintenance records. For a short time the Porsche mystique and performance is within reach for those of us with modest budgets. Call today!!!
1984 Porsche 928S! Only 67,496 miles! Nice Car! AS-IS.
1985 Porsche 928S Only 28K Miles.Excellent!!

From Disney Mobile, the team behind Where's My Water?, Where's My Mickey? and related spin-offs, Stack Rabbit is an isometric puzzle game that's so adorable it just might melt your face off. Playing as a blocky rabbit searching for food, your job is to steal veggies while avoiding the not-so-watchful eye of Max the guard dog. It's an extraordinarily simple premise that's executed with a lot of style and flair, just the way we like our mobile games!
Swipe the screen to hop across the grid-based garden. Each leap that puts you in contact with a ripe veggie places it on your head. Stack three or more of the same vegetable and they create a match, vanishing to storage and causing the other crops in the garden to grow. Match veggie types in the order and quantity shown on the side of the screen to progress to the next level. You can even deploy power-ups to give you a little bit of an edge, if you need it.
In-app purchases are part of the Stack Rabbit ecosystem, but Disney Mobile seems to be trying out a different pricing structure for this release. Instead of dozens of small purchase options, you have a handful of expensive things to buy, such as power-ups, extra rounds, and storage space increases. There are small purchases you can make during the game, such as continuing a level after failing, which feels like overkill, but it's easy enough to skip over and start the stage again. Stack Rabbit comes with a lot of free content (65 levels, to be exact), and buying things is completely optional.
Beautiful graphics, simple gameplay you'll fall for right away, and a gentle difficulty curve that keeps a perfect balance between puzzle and speed. Stack Rabbit is one easy game to love, even with the heavy-handed in-app purchasing model.

No reported cases of omicron variant in Georgia as of Tuesday
by: Archith Seshadri
ATLANTA (WJBF) — The Georgia Department of Public Health says it is closely monitoring the new omicron COVID-19 variant first detected in southern Africa, but says there are no reported cases in the Peach State at this time.
Doctors at Emory University say if you have symptoms of COVID to get tested immediately, adding that current PCR tests can detect the presence of the omicron variant.
The state health department says its working with the World Health Organization and federal agencies to better understand the variant and reduce risk to Georgians.
Local medical leaders react to word of new and more contagious COVID variant
"That this variant appears to be capable of infecting both vaccinated and unvaccinated people, however, some of those vaccinated people seem to have a pretty mild illness, but I will caution from assuming that because most of the cases we have seen so far, have been in young individuals," says Dr. Carlos Del Rio, an infectious disease expert at Emory.
But Emory doctors believe omicron is already in the U.S., given the number of international travelers and direct flights from South Africa.
"What omicron is different, is that omicron has, as you said, multiple, multiple mutations and those mutations occur in two sites, in particular," says Dr. Del Rio. "One of them occurs in the spike protein and this is really important because that is what a lot of our treatments, our antibodies, our vaccines are directed."
"We know that scientists are working very quickly to try to get answers to certain questions such as this is more transmissible than other variants, is this disease in this variant more severe than in other variants, how well do our vaccines work and our therapeutics work," says Dr. Alexander Millman, chief medical officer at the Georgia Department of Public Health.
Scientist who helped identify omicron: 'It's more of a Frankenstein than others'
The state's public health commissioner says getting vaccinated will prevent the virus from mutating and stop new variants from emerging.
"Because of the experience that we've had responding to COVID the past two years, we are prepared to be able to respond to a case that may be detected in Georgia in the future," says Dr. Millman. "For example, we have the testing capacity right now to be able to detect a case, we have countermeasures that are available such as vaccines."
But the good news is DPH says don't cancel your holiday plans just yet.
Emory doctors say the previous delta variant is still present in more than 80% of counties in the country with a high transmissibility rate. That's why the DPH is urging Georgians older than 5 to get vaccinated especially with the holidays around the corner, and getting boosters for those older than 18 if they have completed their first series of the vaccine.
Omicron spread wider than originally thought, new info shows
Cases of the new COVID-19 variant have been detected in South Africa, Hong Kong, Israel, Belgium, Canada, Australia, Denmark, France, Italy, Germany and the UK.
Emory doctors say the omicron variant was first discovered on Nov. 9 in Botswana, and then seen in South Africa three days later. The two cases in Hong Kong were men who had received the Pfizer dose but tested positive for the omicron variant.


Door is a passage, an exit, an entrance, a gate, a lock, a corner and part of the body. It is us, you and them. It is what we go through every day.
Door connects a space with another. A universe lies in front of the door, and another lies behind. Can you peep behind the door? Is what we see and hear the truth? Will that get in the way when we are seeking the truth? What IS the truth?
Door divides a group of audience from another. Different events take place simultaneously and asynchronously on both sides and stay on both sides. You will be deceived by the truthful performers and enjoying the complex simplicity unless you go through both sides.

Discovering a body while strolling along the Hudson River at midnight, Mike Hammer determines the victim's identity to be the butler of a recently deceased millionaire, in a case that takes Hammer to upstate New York to investigate numerous family suspects.
Taking a midnight stroll along the Hudson River, Mike Hammer gets more than he bargained for: a partial corpse on an ice floe. The body is that of a butler who spent the last years of his life working for a millionaire--also now deceased--and his notoriously privileged children.
Were both master and servant murdered? Captain Pat Chambers thinks so. But to prove it Hammer must travel to upstate New York to investigate the dead man's family, all of whom have a motive for murder, and one of whom who has a taste for it.
Collins's 10th posthumous novel-length collaboration with Spillane (after 2016's A Long Time Dead) successfully integrates PI Mike Hammer's stereotypical tough-guy narration into a whodunit plot set in 1965 New York. Hammer's knack for being in the wrong place at the right time again manifests when he discovers a corpse on a late-night walk along the Hudson River. The body, whose bottom half is missing, is eventually identified as belonging to Jamison Elder, the butler for the late Chester Dunbar, a former cop who became a millionaire and used his money and power to send crooked politicians to prison. Three years earlier, Dunbar died at his estate outside Monticello, N.Y., apparently from a heart attack after being unable to reach his nitroglycerin capsules in time. Dunbar's death was ruled accidental, but his friend and Hammer's, NYPD Capt. Pat Chambers, believes that both Dunbar and Elder were murdered, and hires the PI to investigate. The solution to the mystery isn't one of Collins's cleverest, but fans of the originals are likely to be satisfied. Agent: Dominick Abel, Dominick Abel Literary. (Mar.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Rakusan did not include the Fan Series in his main sequence numbering. Therefore, the original number used for each of the 36 Series prints has been modified to identify the Fan Series members of its theme. The five different fan silhouette shapes have been here assigned arbitrary numbers 1 through 5. To indicate a fan design these shape designations are added to the 36 Series number separated by a hyphen. In themes which contain duplicated fan shapes, one has been arbitrarily designated A and the other B. 120-3 indicates that this is a Fan Series design with fan shape 3 in the 120 Tea Flower theme. Like all other designs in this series, 120-3 was only produced in a single print run, and few copies are currently documented.
The Fan Series delivery documents for installment six in September 1934 announced that tea flower designs would be published the following month. Those for installment seven confirm that the Fan Series of the 120 Tea Flower theme were printed during October 1934 and distributed October 15, 1934 as part of installment seven (of twelve). On both sets of delivery documents Rakusan used the theme subject title 茶の花, cha no hana, 'tea flower' which is the original title of 36 Series design 120 published at the same time.
The 120 Tea Flower theme includes only three fan designs, two less than the normal quintet, and is the smallest theme in the series. There are designs for fan shapes 3, 4, and 5, but none for fan shapes 1 and 2. Rakusan had originally planned the 120 Tea Flower theme to have its full complement of five designs. From the signature and seal markings, it appears that Rakusan created 120-5 at the end of 1933, and the next two designs (120-3 and 120-4) shortly thereafter in the early part of 1934. Subsequently, he painted 120-0 as the model for the 36 Series design 120. The tea flower fan designs were among several groups Rakusan then set aside, intending to complete each of them with additional designs later.
Although most such groups were indeed eventually infilled and published as regular themes, Rakusan modified his original plans for four of these incomplete groups. He decided to assemble installment seven using existing designs only. Since each installment was supposed to have three themes, two of the incomplete groups with four designs each (bamboo-grass and pine) were merged into a single compound theme with eight designs. To this he added the three tea flower designs and the four nandina designs to make up the required installment total. As a result, installment seven ended up with the advertised fifteen designs in three themes, but each of its themes, 119, 120, and 121, is exceptional; and none has a perfect quintet of designs.
Tea, Camellia (Thea) sinensis, 茶, cha, is an originally exotic shrub which is now a common agricultural crop in Japan. Its leaves are harvested to make various kinds of tea. The closely trimmed plants are often supported by bamboo stakes as shown in 61. Tea plants typically flower in the winter months.

Thomas Spencer FORSAITH1
Father* Samuel FORSAITH1 b. 1776, d. 1832
Mother* Elizabeth EMBERSON1 b. 1782, d. 1844
Rev Thomas Spencer FORSAITH
(1814-1898) in 1850s
Thomas Spencer FORSAITH was born in London, Middlesex, on 18 July 1814.2,3,1,4 and was baptised on 16 September 1814 at St Lukes Independent Tabernacle in Finsbury.3,4,5
He married Elizabeth Mary CLEMENTS, daughter of Robert CLEMENTS and Mary (---?---), at Congregational Church, Broad St in Hoxton, East London, Middlesex, on 17 May 1838.3,1,6
Thomas and his wife Elizabeth left Plymouth on the 14 June 1838 in the ship Coromandel and arrived in Sydney on the 2 October before continuing on to New Zealand.7
By 1847 he had moved to Auckland and established a successful drapery and manchester shop in the heart of the growing town.
Merchant's token distributed by T S FORSAITH in Auckland, NZ
Thomas and his wife Elizabeth arrived in Melbourne on the Pioneer from New Zealand in March 1856 accompanied by their child Charlotte.8
Thomas was present at the wedding of Samuel Ludbrook CLARKE and Mary Lee (Hannah) CHRISTOPHER at 'Brick House', Queen St (home of the bride's mother) in Auckland on 30 June 1857.9,10,11,12,13
He signed the register at Thomas Morell MACDONALD and Charlotte Clements FORSAITH's wedding at the Forsaith residence, Khyber Pass Rd in Auckland on 7 January 1862.14,15,16,17,18
Thomas and his wife Elizabeth arrived in Melbourne on the Otago from New Zealand in March 1867.19
Forsaith began to hold services in the old School of Arts in Parramatta, but land for the erection of a church was purchased in 1871 and the foundation stone laid in May. A year later the church was opened (19 May 1872).20
Congregational Church, Parramatta, founded by T.S. FORSAITH in 1872
Thomas and his wife Elizabeth left Melbourne on the Claud Hamilton in November 1873, bound for New Zealand.21
He acquired 'Morton House' in Melville St, Parramatta in 1874 and it remained his principal residence until his death. Morton House was originally built by architect/builder James Harrison for John Morton Gould. The lot was auctioned in 1855, and probably bought by Gould at that time. The house was sold to Forsaith in 1874 (see auction notice in Sydney Morning Herald 7 April 1874), who added the chapel, but built it on inferior foundations. The house passed to Macarthur and then to Kings' School under the name Macarthur House. It was bought by Richard Pike in 1965 after lying vacant for some years. The site of the original cellar (supposedly extensive) is not known, as Harrison's original drawings were destroyed in a 'cleanup' according to Mr Pike, when interviewed in December1990.22,20
Marguerite Elizabeth SIMPSON and Walter Forsaith LAWRY were married by Thomas Spencer FORSAITH at the residence of the bride's parents in Nth Shore, Sydney, New South Wales, on 24 February 1880.23,24,25,26
Thomas and his wife Elizabeth left Melbourne for New Zealand in March 1882 on the Rotomahana.27
Thomas and his wife Elizabeth returned to Melbourne in April 1884 on the Berengaria from the UK.28
He was named executor and beneficiary in the will of Elizabeth Mary CLEMENTS dated 27 June 1895 in Parramatta, New South Wales.29
He signed a will dated 13 June 1898 in Parramatta, New South Wales, a long and rambling document of some 17 foolscap pages (plus a 2-page codicil of 12 Nov 1898), in which he went to some length to request the publication of his 'memoirs'. All but the first 12 volumes of this hand-written biography are in the National Library, Canberra, but the whereabouts of the missing volumes is unclear, although they were all willed to his nephew Walter Forsaith LAWRY. It is possible they may have been sent to London for his printing relatives to supply a publication quote, but this is supposition. The will also requested busts of himself and his wife to be erected in the Congregational Church, Parramatta, but this also failed to occur (possibly due to the onerous conditions he imposed on the church for compliance). His bust later turned up in a house in Conon St, Invercargill, previously occupied by his grand-daughter, Mrs Quinn (reported in the Southland Times).30
Thomas died on 29 November 1898 in Parramatta, New South Wales, at age 84.2,1,31 He was buried on 1 December 1898 at the Rookwood Cemetery in Rookwood.2,32,33
Grave - Thomas S FORSAITH (1814-1898) and Elizabeth (nee CLEMENTS)(1813-1900), Rookwood Cemetery, NSW
Thomas's will was probated in Sydney, New South Wales, on 22 December 1898 Walter LAWRY renounced probate (despite the codicil to the will specifically adding him as executor) and a fourth named executor (David Stuart WALKER) while not a family member, was probably the family accountant.34
