Staff Opinion
Snowden's efforts don't quite warrant Nobel Prize
Kevin Griffin
A new twist has emerged in the saga of National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The man who is considered by some to be a hero and by others a traitor has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by two Norwegian officials, according to The Guardian.
Snowden has been a polarizing figure, particularly in the United States where 61 percent of people believe he should be tried in the United States, and only 23 percent believing Snowden deserves amnesty, according to CBS.
So much of this debate about Snowden centers on whether he is a hero or a criminal.
Really, he is both. While he has violated the law, his disclosures have created a situation where some of the more detestable acts of the U.S. government have come to light.
But I am not sure that this should necessarily qualify him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Snowden has certainly made worthwhile contributions to the world, but I don't think we know yet what his contributions to world peace are.
Snowden's efforts have had much more of an impact on the idea of freedom and how freedom is controlled and exercised in the digital age. His disclosures have allowed U.S. citizens to see the amazing extent of surveillance programs, igniting a debate about the legality and propriety of the government.
We have learned that the government is collecting the data of Verizon customers and general user data of Americans from across a wide range of technology services, according to The Guardian.
In the last few months, we have seen some indication that there may be some changes with this situation.
In December, two federal judges gave differing opinions on the constitutionality of the surveillance program, according to The Atlantic. This means that we could see in the not so distant future a court case addressing this defining issue of our time.
Snowden's work has certainly had an impact on the U.S. and the world, and I am glad he is receiving recognition through this nomination, but I still believe he does not quite deserve the award himself because of the questionability of contributions to the cause of peace.
We must also consider the possibility that the nomination may have been made to spite the U.S.
After all, how would it look if Snowden did end up winning the prize and the U.S. were to jail him at some point in the future?
Despite this, Snowden has still done a service to the U.S. and likely the world, though I do not think his actions rise to the ideally high standard one would hopefully reserve for Nobel Peace Prize winners.

Q: JQuery Mobile - User Login Best Practice I'm building a mobile interface with JQuery Mobile for an already existing web app which requires user authentication, and I cannot settle on the best approach for implementing a login process.
I'm not so concerned about the server side authentication, but rather how to implement it on the user side.
After some experimenting, it seems that the options are:

*

*Standard form submit with POST\redirect:
-Disable automatic ajax with data-ajax="false"
-User submits, check credentials at server, then send redirect to app on success or back to login page on failure.

*Ajax method with $.mobile.changePage
-Send username/passwd via Ajax
-Based on response, either add front page of app with $.mobile.changePage or display error message

*Ajax method with window.location.replace
-Similar to option 2, except use window.location.replace to add front page of app

*Ajax method with POST; redirect only on failed login
-Keep ajax enabled for form submissions.
-On the server side, combine your user authentication function with the entry page of your app in such a way that it only executes if the form fields are set.
-On successful login, return front page of the app.
-On failed login, redirect back to the login page.
-If the form values are not set, check if the user is properly logged in and then return the standard output page. If not logged in, redirect back to login.
Some considerations:
-It must use POST to avoid attaching login data to URL
-Maintaining correct back button functionality so that navigation is user friendly appears to be kind of tricky.
-I'd like to make the process flow as easily as possible with as few page reloads as possible
Any ideas?
EDIT:
I found a 4th method, which may be the best approach. It avoids the back button functionality issues resulting from the POST/redirect method. If the user authenticates on the first attempt, the smooth page transition is maintained the entire time. If not, the page transition flow will be continuously maintained after successful a login. Furthermore, all of JQM's built in error handling features remain available.

A: I know this question is more than a year old, but here are my two cents.
What I did is a JQuery Mobile form that looks like:
<form method="PUT" action="api/auth" data-ajax="false">
    Username:

    <input type="text" name="login_username" id="login_username" />

    Password:

    <input type="password" name="login_password" id="login_password" />

    <button id="login_submit" type="submit" data-theme="a">Submit</button>
</form>

Then a function to intercept the "Submit" button click:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#login_submit").click(function(event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        var credentials = { type: 'EMAIL', username: $('#login_username').val(), password: $('#login_password').val() };
        $.ajax({
            type: "PUT",
            url: "api/auth",
            cache: false,
            data: JSON.stringify(credentials),
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            success: function(data) {
                //validate the response here, set variables... whatever needed
                    //and if credentials are valid, forward to the next page
                $.mobile.changePage($('#main_menu'));
                    //or show an error message
            },
            error: function() { // server couldn't be reached or other error }
        });
    });
});

Of course this should go over HTTPS. In my case, I am validating with a server side REST service. You can make it return 403 if the credentials are wrong, for example. Then, you forward using $.mobile.changePage() to a page within the same DOM or to another URL.

A: Basically that's according to the need.
Standard form submit( Point 1) is a very clear cut way, but if login is failed, need to reload the page so, multiple requests( one for login-check, another for page-load) are made & also, need to populate back input data.
Some advantages for AJAX r-

*

*If connection is closed or network failure, we can show proper error- keeping the page design intact. In case of standard submit- it will show connection error- in which point user may need to restart the mobile-app.

*In future use, if we force user to login to view content of a page, AJAX can simply do that trick, quickly. So we can put that login-box every-where & log in user without interrupting current state.

North Korean defectors warn Donald Trump, 'Kim Jong-un is lying' on nuclear deal

Julian Ryall
9 March 2018 • 11:13am
Defectors and human rights activists have expressed serious concerns about the sudden warming of ties across the Demilitarised Zone that has divided the Korean Peninsula since 1953, with escapees in particular emphasising that Pyongyang cannot be trusted.
"Kim Jong-un is lying – it really is as simple as that", said Lee Ae-ran, who fled the North with her family in 1997.
"The Kim family have never told the truth in the past – to their own people or to other governments when they have negotiations – so why does anyone think they are telling the truth now?"
Mrs Lee, who operates a restaurant in Seoul that only employs other defectors from the North, is certain that Kim Jong-un, the North Korea leader, only proposed direct talks with President Donald Trump because the sanctions are swiftly bringing his regime to its knees.
And she fears that Mr Trump and Moon Jae-in, the South Korean president, will be persuaded to ease the pressure on Pyongyang if Mr Kim promises to stop nuclear tests.
"I think President Moon is a good man, but he is too trusting", she told The Telegraph.
"The sanctions are causing big problems and Mr Kim only thinks about himself and protecting his rule, so this is the only reason they are talking now".

Other defectors have also said that the South and the US must remain firm in their dealings with the North to ensure that Pyongyang complies fully with the demands of the international community.
Quoted in the Korea Times, a female defector said President Moon should not go to Pyongyang for a proposed summit because "North Korea hasn't and won't change.
"It will be a waste of time, a one-time political show", said the defector, identified only by her first name, Eun-joo. "Moon is so stubborn, trying to negotiate with a regime that only wants to destroy South Korea, not negotiate".
Human rights activists are similarly worried that any agreement that legitimises the North Korean regime will effectively mean the abandonment of tens of thousands of political prisoners held in the North's infamous labour camps and prisons for anyone who has uttered criticism of the government.
"Mr Trump has met defectors and spoken with them about their experiences and those left behind in the North, but we can only hope that he keeps his word to make sure that human rights are a condition of any agreement", said Song Young-chae, of the Seoul-based Worldwide Coalition to Stop Genocide in North Korea.
"We worry that those in the prison camps in the North could be forgotten if an agreement on security issues is close to being signed", he said.

Ken Kato, director of Human Rights in Asia, said Mr Moon has "simply forgotten that North Korea does not respect any agreements that it signs or promises that it makes.
"Mr Moon is extremely naïve, but he has to remember that the lives of his fellow Koreans are on the line if he fails to protect those in the North's camps," he said.
"Estimates suggest that as many as 200,000 people may be detained in these camps in the most appalling conditions, with hundreds reportedly dying every day", he said. "If the Kim regime is permitted to carry on with business as usual, then there is no reason for them to halt their political repression and thousands more will die.
"There is talk about the US signing an agreement that recognises the regime, which would condemn so many more to death", he said. "There needs to be pressure for an agreement that opens these camps up and ensures they cannot continue.
"The international community must ensure that human rights are protected in the North and that these gulags are dismantled".

"A SIBLING RIVALRY THAT DOESN'T QUITE MAKE AN IMPACT..."
Take2IndieReview: Nate Raven
FUNERAL FOR FURMANSKI
Director: Johnny Catalano
Cinematographer: Markus Cook
Producer: Erica Bock
Writer: Johnny Catalano, Abel Catalano
Starring: Johnny Catalano, Chad Goodwin, Olivia Dennis
Genre: Short/Drama
Film Website: https://www.facebook.com/funeralforfurmanski
Funeral for Furmanski tells the story of three siblings who are forced to come together to deal with their father's death. The film opens with a vintage black and white credits scene from the past, flashing between dancers and a foreign language. This helps set the film's stylistic tone which harkens back to the 70's decade of films. Writer and Director Johnny Catalano pulls from the past in his filmmaking approach, but oftentimes the big stylistic swings come across as a miss.
From the introduction of the three siblings, it is clear that they have lots of emotional baggage and issues they need to hash out with one another. Chase (Chad Goodwin) is a power hungry, arrogant real estate agent who attempts to help Steve (played by Catalano) move his life forward after their father's death. Emma (Olivia Dennis) is a wannabe actress living in LA who just wants the night to be over. It is obvious from the opening moments Steve is attempting to make an effort to engage them, but ends up not connecting with them.
Having just come home from the funeral, Steve offers his brother and sister something to drink. This sparks a banal conversation about whether to drink beer, wine, or water. It is palpable that none of them want to be in their old, country home that comes complete with a mounted deer head and antler table adornments.
In the film, Catalano plays these scenes with his brother and sister in a very minimalistic way. Most of his interactions with his siblings are detached and indifferent – until he is ignited into a screaming match. He lets his anger boil out of control, which initiates his siblings into shouting out their feelings as well. But in the end, the arguments go nowhere. Goodwin is capable at playing the arrogant, successful brother, and Dennis plays the indifferent actress easily. The actors' performances needed much more subtlety and nuance to carry the weight of their father's death and their feelings toward one another. This all works on a surface level, but the underlying subtext and multi-faceted layers could have helped elevate the film to another level.
Much of the scenes between the three siblings are spent in small talk, happening in the most mundane of ways. Steve offers them food and admits that he only has spaghetti available. Chase scolds Emma for smoking and how bad it is for her health. At dinner, they all chat about the future now that their father is gone – but the future remains unclear for them. All of these are important conversations on the surface, however they tend not to tread too deeply. Much of the dialogue also feels to be improvised in many scenes which took away from the emotional connections that were lacking between the characters. The scenes ended up circling around the same subjects with nothing being accomplished in the end.
To add to the style, and oftentimes confusion of the film, the emotional scenes were interrupted by clips from the 70's featuring a chorus of singers. The haunting vocals felt out of place and didn't connect with what was happening in the given moment. Again, this could be a choice made to fuel the concept of the film, but it detracted from what was really going on in the overarching story.
Funeral for Furmanski was a huge undertaking for a fairly new filmmaker. There were lots of interesting ideas and devices put into play. Unfortunately, the film's emotional arc fell flat and left the viewer feeling unsatisfied and indifferent toward this family.

On Wednesday, renowned economic historian Paul Tiyambe Zeleza came to give a talk at Hampshire College. His talk drew on his latest book, Africa's Resurgence: Domestic, Global and Diaspora Transformations. The event was well attended and provoked a lot of interesting questions. The part that stuck with me most was Zeleza's discussion of the growing importance of the diaspora in Africa's future.
Going beyond the power of remittances in shaping individuals' lives, Zeleza talked about the many different ways the diaspora contribute to development back home — and how they have been for generations. He talked in particular about an initiative he's started, The Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program, which generously supports African-born academics in the U.S. and Canada in pursuing partnerships and research opportunities with academic institutions in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda. Paul is himself part of the diaspora — a Malawian born in Zimbabwe, educated in Canada, and working in the U.S.
I'm lucky to have and come across a number of students who remind me of what a young Paul Zeleza might be like today. A few of them are engaging in just the kind of diaspora-driven development projects Paul talked about on Wednesday. A couple are raising funds for these projects. I don't normally use this blog as a forum to solicit charity donations, but these are great projects led by thoughtful people who are trying to give back to the places they're from.
Jemimah Kamau, a junior at Mount Holyoke College, is raising funds for Peace Through Literacy: Ting'ang'a Library Project, a library to be shared by four elementary schools in Kiambu, Kenya.
Another Mount Holyoke student, Ellen Chilemba, has started a grassroots NGO supporting women in her home country, Malawi, and you can support her organization, Tiwale, by purchasing beautiful hand-dyed fabrics.
Oumar Ba, a PhD student at the University of Florida, is raising funds for a computer lab for Galoya High School, in his hometown in northern Senegal.
If haba na haba readers know of other worthy diaspora-driven development programs worth supporting, please share them (with links) in the comments!
Yes! AiD is like the meta- initiative of this!

When Las Vegas cops put on bodycams, they used 37% less force and generated 30% fewer complaints
Cory Doctorow 9:49 am Wed Dec 20, 2017
A study published this year traces policing outcomes in Las Vegas between Sept 2014 and Oct 2015, comparing the conduct of 200 officers who wore bodycams and 200 who did not.
The study, conducted for the National Institute of Justice by UNLV and the Center for Naval Analyses, found that bodycams correlated with a 37% reduction in use of force incidents, a 30% reduction in public complaints against the police, and saved $4 million/year in administrative costs associated with police use of force.
Officers who wore the cameras were more likely to make arrests, and less likely to issue citations. The officers who wore the camera did not report a subjective change in their behavior, despite the marked differences in the outcomes.
According to the study, camera footage has been used to close more than 500 internal investigations, with 462 of those exonerating the officer. The remaining cases resulted in disciplinary actions, including the termination of one officer. While it still seems odd such a high percentage of officers would be cleared, the fact remains officers' fears of managerial gotcha tactics are unfounded.
The addition of body cameras has another positive effect, one that goes straight to the bottom line. With footage available for use in internal investigations, the cameras' initial cost is far outweighed by net savings for taxpayers. From the study summary [PDF]:
When considering the investigator's modified hourly wage and hours spent investigating a complaint of misconduct, considerable cost savings are realized when BWC video is available. Rather than a combined 91 hours of investigative time costing $6,776 without BWCs, the estimate is slightly over 7 hours of investigative time costing $554, for a difference of over $6,200 per complaint of misconduct.

By Ann: "What comes around, goes around". Whatever you do, it will come back to you, good or bad. These are the thoughts that I keep reminding my clients whenever they are in doubt of something. Hello again! It is nice to see you reading this Blog. The topic right now is the turning point. Do you ever wonder when you need to give up on a situation and move on and let go?
Have you ever wondered why this is not happening the way you would like it to, and you are sick of waiting and the time just drags on, this can be so frustrating.
There are a lot of reasons why this happens. Maybe the person is not ready. In this life, you must be ready for any challenge; I call this being one step ahead of any situation that you can encounter, good or bad.
Of course, it is all about what you believe if you trust in the universe or God. The reason I say this is simple, because I am talking about your higher self. Did you know that with tapping into your higher self, you can accomplish anything? This is called tapping into the universal life force. Sure there are skeptics and only believe what they see and this is the illusion.
You see, once you put out there the power of belief and trust that this will happen and stop worrying about the time it takes and keep moving forward in life and let the situation take care of itself. Of course you ask your higher self and the universe to help you in all things and they will. Spirit beings (that we call Angels) really does exist and there is a turning point or do we just go with the process of life and get on with moving forward and when it happens, it happens. This is the attitude to have.
There is no accurate time. There are never estimates but, human beings do not want to wait for things to happen in their own time. You cannot control another human being. To be with you or do anything you want them to do and if you try to do this someone will enter your life that will do it to you. You have heard the saying "What comes around, goes around". Whatever you do, it will come back to you, good or bad. For example, I had a client that wanted her license so bad and she went the first time and failed. She did not want to go back again. She felt that she was doomed, and she was never going to go forward in life. I asked her to trust and go for the driving test again. She failed again and she came to me and said I will never get it. I told her that this is a lesson. The more she thinks she will not get it, the more she won't. This is what you are attracting to herself and each time she will be disappointed and the more she will not get her licence. She insisted that she was still not going to get and each time I said trust in her higher self-ask the Angels to help. She was so down on herself and her self-esteem was lowest point of her life.
On the 10th time, she failed then she came to me and asked what is she doing wrong? I told her, "What do you feel that you are learning from this?" She said to me all she knows is that she will never going to get her licence and she is doomed.
Well, my client, Kyle went again and did not listen and she failed again.
I told Kyle what she needs to do. She needs to do is go again and apply for her license again and again, even if she fails and trust that she will get her license and ask the Angels to help her. This is all you do then you let the time go she asked me. "Ann, what do you mean?" I told her to forget how many times she have gone for her license, every time she should think this is her first time and she will get her license and this will be the turning point in her life that you will not have to walk everywhere and she will be able to take her daughter to school. It will give her a sense of self-worth.
Kyle did get her license the 13th time. She applied and she adopted the attitude to success and belief that this was going to happen for her and when she came back and showed me her license. She said "Ann, I did this the hard way and all I needed to do was change my attitude, it was hard for me to believe that I can do something right and to believe in myself." Anyhow, Kyle is in a loving relationship, has two daughters and now has her license and is studying. This was her turning point. What is it going to take for your turning point in life?

The DSA congratulates Brazil
The DSA congratulate ...

Yesterday, the 25th of February, the board of commissioners of ANATEL has decided to open the complete 5925-7124 MHz band (6 GHz band) for unlicensed access by restricted radiation devices.
This decision places Brazil in a leadership position worldwide, as a hub for development of new technologies, enabling innovation, new use cases and considerable benefits for Brazilians and the national economy.
DSA celebrates this decision and is convinced that unlicensed access to the 6 GHz band will benefit Brazilian businesses and consumers by providing sufficient Wi-Fi capacity for data intensive video applications, 4G and 5G (data) offloading, and for allowing users to take full advantage of the new applications enabled by the large channel sizes available with the new Wi-Fi-6E generation of equipment.
By 2030, Brazil will see huge economic benefits, through optimising the use of the 6 GHz band. According to the study requested by the DSA, the economic value of enabling unlicensed access to the 5925-7125 MHz band in Brazil will increase to $163.5 billion. Furthermore, Latin American countries in general could also see those benefits, according to the latest studies they could be $150.27 billion in Mexico and $40.42 in Colombia. These last two countries, as well as Honduras, Costa Rica, Canada, Peru and Argentina already had public consultations about the future of the 6 GHz band and regulatory decisions are expected this year.
Regarding the available equipment ecosystem, it is worth mentioning that last year the FCC certified the first Wi-Fi 6E chipset and its first 6 GHz Wi-Fi device. FCC has currently certified multiple Access Points that operate in the 1200 MHz of the 6 GHz band. In early January of 2021, the Wi-Fi Alliance began certifying Wi-Fi 6E devices, paving the way for new gadgets that can transmit across the entire 6 GHz band. Currently there are 14 Wi-Fi 6E certified devices and many Wi-Fi 6E products have being announced at this year's (virtual) Consumer Electronics Show from marks like Linksys, Nighthawk®, Netgear and TP-LINK . On January 14th, Samsung announced a new mobile phone that incorporated a Wi-Fi 6E client. In light of this momentum, the research firm IDC has forecast that more than 316 million Wi-Fi 6E devices will enter the market in 2021 and shipments will rise rapidly over the next three years. Following Brazil's decision DSA companies and Wi-Fi 6E manufacturers are ready to deliver chipsets and start producing and introducing equipment in the Brazilian market.
By optimising the use of 6 GHz and allowing unlicensed spectrum access, it can be freed for use by other devices without interference, ensuring that incumbent services are protected and given room to thrive and grow within the band. This results in more opportunity for connectivity through unlicensed operations across the 6 GHz band, promotes the development of cutting-edge technology and contributes an estimated global economic impact of around US$4.9 trillion by 2025. According to our economic study, in 2021 Brazil's number of lines in excess of 150Mbps is 1.05% but it is predicted that by 2030 it will be up to 44%. Colombia and Mexico are following the same prospects, with Colombia at 3.29% and Mexico at 3.35% in 2021, this is set to rise to 25.72% and 25.39% by 2030.
The Dynamic Spectrum Alliance (DSA) highlights the Brazilian decision and calls for more unlicensed spectrum to be dedicated to Wi-Fi networks and wireless devices, in order to use the 6 GHz band to it's full potential. This will improve the experience for residential and corporate use, but also enable better opportunities for rural and underserved areas to become connected. Spectrum sharing in the 6 GHz band allows for crucial contributions to be made to the development of next generation dynamic spectrum management in the form of network innovation. The DSA strongly encourages the adoption of regulations to support its deployment and is dedicated to driving the movement so that reliable connectivity can be achieved world over.

Martinelli Tours Changuinola – Site of Violent Protests
Saturday, July 17 2010 @ 04:37 PM EDT
Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli began his tour of Changuinola in the province of Bocas del Toro with "Finca 66" – where he met with some leaders of the Cambio Democratico political party. During the meeting they talked about what happened last week in clashes between police and strikers. He reiterated his apologies, as he listened to their requests to repeal Law 30. During the tour, Martinelli took the opportunity to provide scholarships to the children of the union leaders who were killed in the clashes. It is expected that during the afternoon, the President will make a major announcement regarding the future of the employment status of banana plantation workers. The atmosphere in Changuinola has been quiet, even though some had said there would be protests, before the preparations for the funeral which will be held tomorrow. (TVN Noticias)

20,000 foreigners to legalize their stay in Panama
About 20,000 undocumented foreigners living in Panama will be granted legal right to stay, an official of National Service of Migration (SNM) said on Thursday. Launched by Panamanian President Ricardo Martinellithe, the migratory policy "Panama Race Melting-pot" is aimed to benefit foreigners who have been living here for two years. SNM Director Maria Cristina Gonzalez said a publicity campaign has been launched to help foreigners learn about the necessary procedures and sufficient staff assigned to meet the demand. Citizens have to pay a fee of $765 for those from countries that allow mutual visa exemption for Panama and $1,275 for those from other countries, she added. (China Daily)
Protesters in Bocas del Toro Refuse To Meet With Martinelli
"It's not the right time." That is the general perception among banana union workers and indigenous leaders about the visit Panamanian president Ricardo Martinelli is making today to Changuinola, in the province of Bocas del Toro. The "Bocatorenos" are still feeing the pain and anger over those who were killed and injured during two weeks of violent clashes between protesters and riot police. "We have to respect those who were killed. We mourn. We are not available to meet with the government now, it's not the right time," said Samuel Quintero, a union leader. Meanwhile, the unions and indigenous leaders confirmed that today there will be a vigil for the deceased and a funeral on Sunday. Yesterday, ministers of state had paved the way for the President to tour medical and social care facilities in that community. (La Estrella)
Fines And Fees – An Obstacle To Overcome For Foreigners At The ATLAPA "Melting Pot" Immigration Fair
Hundreds of illegal immigrants in Panama who went to the ATLAPA Convention Center yesterday to participate in the "Melting Pot" program in an attempt to normalize their immigration status in the country expressed their concerns over not being able to pay the fees and fines established by the National Immigration Service. These people, of various nationalities, came hoping to get the card that identifies them as being legal in Panama, but for many their dreams were cut short, because Immigration has not established any way for them to make payment arrangements to be able to pay the accumulated fines and fees over time. Testimonials. Mariela Pardo, a Colombian national, came early to stand in line in order to be one of the first people legalized. Despite fulfilling the requirements, she did bring all of the money with her, so she had to wait to see if her husband could find a way to get a loan. Mariela and several other foreigners found themselves with this same dilemma. The lack of money would be an obstacle on the road.
For her part, María Cristina González, the Director of the National Immigration Service, said the amount they are charging is much less than what the applicants would have had to pay on the normal fee schedule. She said the amount being charged already contains a discount, and therefore they cannot establish a payment arrangement. She said members of her staff are performing socioeconomic assessments to determine which of the low-income foreigners they can help.
The thousands of immigrants who came to ATLAPA did not seem to mind putting up with the discomfort of sleeping on the floor, the cold night, or the lack of bathrooms, but they wanted to be at the front of the line and the first ones to obtain the identity card. This program to normalize the immigration status is for all foreigners who have been in Panama for more than two years, who have no pending cases with either the Panamanian justice system or that of their home country. In addition, Immigration is working in conjunction with the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) and the Department of Security of Colombia, to ensure that those people who are being legalized in Panama do not represent a danger to the country.

Cody Lindsay became the latest 67 to show that Ottawa's hot streak is a total team effort.
Lindsay scored twice as the 67's beat the Mississauga-St. Michael's Majors 3-2 for their ninth win in 10 games Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.
"All the lines have been firing," Lindsay said. "It's someone new every game and that's what we need right now."
Lindsay opened the scoring less than three minutes into the game and made it 2-0 in the second before Kale Kerbashian countered for the Majors (22-16-1-1) midway through the period.
Ottawa's Ryan Martindale replied just 23 seconds later, though, and the 67's (24-14-1-2) were on their way to their second win in less than 24 hours.
Mississauga has also been hot lately, winning 10 of its last 11 prior to Saturday. The Majors had a chance to pull within one point of Ottawa for third place in the Eastern Conference, but now face a five-point gap.
Elsewhere in the OHL, it was: Barrie 5, Brampton 3; Belleville 3, Plymouth 1; Kingston 2, Peterborough 1; Owen Sound 6, Erie 3; and Sault Ste. Marie 4, Kitchener 2.
At Ottawa, Kaspars Daugavins had the other goal for Mississauga.
Chris Perugini made 33 saves for the 67's. Majors goalie JP Anderson stopped 32 shots.
At Barrie, Ont., Josh Brittain had a goal and two assists to lead the Colts over Brampton.
Stefan Della Rovere, Darren Archibald and Alex Hutchings each added a goal and an assist for Barrie (19-19-2-0).
Matthew Kane, Andrew Merrett and Anthony Peluso scored for the Battalion (24-14-1-1).
At Belleville, Ont., Luke Judson opened the scoring 33 seconds into the first period and added an assist as the Bulls downed Plymouth.
Luke Pither scored 30 seconds after Judson and Cory Tanaka iced the game in the final two minutes of the third for Belleville (27-13-2-2).
Tyler J. Brown had the lone reply for the Whalers (18-19-4-0).
At Peterborough, Ont., Ethan Werek scored a pair of goals to lead Kingston past the Petes.
Werek's second power-play goal, 1:27 into the third period, proved the winner for the last-place Frontenacs (9-28-4-2), who dropped nine of their last 10 games.
Ryan Spooner scored for Peterborough (18-23-0-2).
At Owen Sound, Ont., Marcus Carroll scored three goals to help the Attack double up on Erie.
David Kolomatis, Andrew Wilkins and Steven Shipley also scored for Owen Sound (16-16-5-4). Josh Moes added three assists.
Ryan O'Reilly scored a pair of second-period goals to bring the Otters (21-19-2-0) within one before Carroll completed his hat trick midway through the third. Brandon Biggers had the other Erie goal.
At Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Brett Thompson scored three goals, including the tying and winning goals in the third period as the Greyhounds came from behind to defeat Kitchener.
James Livingston scored an empty-netter and added an assist for Sault Ste. Marie (16-24-2-1).
Jason Akeson and Alex Aleardi replied for the Rangers (17-21-1-1).

The Daily Vote | What is the best Nintendo game ever?
The Daily Vote is a daily community feature in which GameRevolution's readers choose the victor of a hotly-contested topic. This week, we decide on the best Nintendo game EVER. From the NES to the Switch, which game is better than ALL the rest?
This one's a biggie. If yesterday's vote on the best PlayStation game ever was a tough one, then how on Earth are we going to decide the best Nintendo game ever?! There have been multiple classics across the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Switch, and more, with there being almost too many critically-acclaimed games over the years.
We've rounded them down to four of the greatest in the below tweet — Breath of the Wild, Super Smash Bros Melee, Super Mario World, and Metroid Prime — though if you disagree with our choices, you can leave your own thoughts in the comments section below. We'll reveal the winner in Monday's The Daily Vote!
VOTE below (or tweet us your own choice) and we'll reveal the winner on Monday in #TheDailyVote!
Paul Tamburro, GR's executive editor: "My vote's for Super Mario World. Though there have been Nintendo games since the SNES launch title that have been more technically capable, more revolutionary, and more original, SMW is basically condensed joy. Every world's brimming with color and personality, there are so many secrets to uncover, and I've played it so many times I feel like I could beat it with my eyes shut.
Bradley Russell, GR's news editor: "I'll be silently judging every person who doesn't overlook the above entries to vote for Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker instead. Sure, it may lack the epic scale of a Breath of the Wild or the shock value of an Ocarina of Time, but it's the Zelda I grew up with and that's that. Nintendo games are almost always tied in some way to our childhoods and I'm sure many of you can remember searching every inch of Windfall Island, or sneaking your way around Forsaken Fortress, like it was yesterday. Wind Waker also showed that Nintendo wouldn't play it safe when it didn't have to, and paved the way for more stylized games for years to come.
What is the best PlayStation game ever?

Determining When Pro Basketball Will Resume

People all over the world have been forced to isolate themselves at home with no clear end in sight. The authorities insist on people staying at home and keeping the distance to slow the spread of the virus as much as possible. This is already a strain on some. If you add the fact that there are no live sports to follow – things can get almost unbearable at times. Having pro basketball resume would be a step in the right direction towards normalcy.
Even the athletes are forced to shelter in place, with discussions about the pros and cons of resistance training online being the closest they get to training these days. Everyone is eager to know when sports will resume – especially pro basketball – even if only to TV, with no live audiences. Basketball fans are not an exception.
The Return of Pro Basketball to Aid in Helping the Return to Normalcy
Hopeful for the Return of the NBA
Adam Silver, the National Basketball Association's commissioner, still hopes to play out the remaining games of the season. The pressure is high, especially on the financial side. The clubs need revenues to stay alive, and these revenues have essentially dropped to zero due to the ongoing pandemic.
If the NBA is to return, it won't happen any sooner than June. Or better said, "significantly later than June", as Silver put it. The league hopes to re-open team facilities but this won't happen before May 8th. A lot depends, of course, on the evolution of the ongoing pandemic that doesn't seem to slow down right now.
Teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and the Milwaukee Bucks are hoping the season resumes. These teams are prime NBA title contenders.
European Basketball Returning Soon, With Some Changes
The regular basketball seasons in Europe have pretty much all have been suspended. In some countries, the situation seems to be improving. Athletes will be able to resume training (and, eventually, matches) sooner rather than later.
In Germany, the clubs of the Basketball Bundesliga have agreed to play out the rest of the season with just 10 of the 17 teams, at a location that will be decided and announced on May 4th. The playoffs will begin as soon as the health authorities allow it.
In France, matches could resume as early as June, pending approval by the health authorities. When it comes to EuroLeague, there is no word on if and when it will resume the matches suspended in March.
The effects of the pandemic have been felt by the EuroBasket tournament scheduled for 2021. Due to the changing schedule of other major international sporting events, the tournament has been postponed until September 2022.
The Professional Basketball World is Hopeful for a Return, Soon
If all goes well, we'll be able to see the first games played by professional basketball players as early as June. The matches, of course, will be played behind closed doors. The public will not have access to the stadiums. Even if the TV will be the only medium through which we'll be able to follow live basketball again, it will be much better than nothing, right?

Q: return original value of sha256 I have a table called user in my database and I save the passwords in sha256. And I am wondering if I can now get the original value from the sha256, to display it on the user profile frontend.
Example
use sha2::{Digest, Sha256};

fn test() {
    let password = "secret value";
    let password_sh256 = Sha256::digest(password.as_bytes());
    let encrypted_password = format!("{:x}", password_sh256);
    println!("result: {:?}", encrypted_password);
    // result: "c3a57afaa51d985ac0b4117f509e2ce6dd94d520e441778736a945b4cb941755"
}

Now how could you have the original value of the variable named password making use of the variable named encrypted_password?
I appreciate any help.

A: SHA-256 is designed to be computationally infeasible (in simpler terms: practically impossible) to invert like you want to do.  In fact, it is provably the case that there are multiple inputs that hash to the same value (although it is also currently computationally infeasible to find them) so at best, you would be able to find some input that hashed to the same value.  However, as mentioned, it is very unlikely that anyone can presently do so.
Additionally, there are some things to mention.  First, you should never show the user their plaintext password.  You don't know if the user is in a coffee shop, library, or other public place where others might be shoulder-surfing, so you wouldn't want to expose this.  In addition, you don't want to be able to invert the password for security reasons (because that means anyone else can), so there's no way to actually show it.
Furthermore, you don't want to use plain SHA-256 for password hashing.  The reason is that if people pick bad passwords, like "password123," then all the users with the bad password will have the same password hash, and it's also easy to make a giant list of passwords that are known to be compromised and look them up in the list.  What you want to do is use a password hashing function like Argon2 or bcrypt that (a) uses a unique salt (random data) for each password and (b) iterates the operation multiple times so that it's slow and guessing many passwords takes a long time.  Fortunately, there are libraries in Rust for doing just this, and the argon2 crate has great documentation explaining how to do just this.

Netflix Statement on Trans Employee Walkout Protesting Dave Chappelle
Netflix, in advance of an employee walkout Wednesday protesting the streamer's defense of Dave Chappelle's stand-up special rife with transphobic and homophobic commentary, issued a statement acknowledging "deep hurt" the controversy has caused.
In a statement, Netflix said, "We value our trans colleagues and allies, and understand the deep hurt that's been caused. We respect the decision of any employee who chooses to walk out, and recognize we have much more work to do both within Netflix and in our content."
Chappelle's "The Closer," released Oct. 5, has stirred a major backlash inside and outside the company. On Wednesday (Oct. 20), hundreds of company employees are planning to stage a walkout to protest Netflix management's uncompromising position on the issue, and organizers have set a "Stand Up in Solidarity" rally at Netflix's EPIC building in L.A.
Netflix co-CEO and chief content officer Ted Sarandos, in an interview Tuesday with Variety, acknowledged that he "screwed up" in communicating the company's position on the Chappelle special and by not being more sensitive to employees who were hurt by the decision to keep it on the platform. But he indicated "The Closer" will remain on Netflix and reiterated that he doesn't believe it falls into the category of "hate speech."
Sarandos had previously defended the company's partnership with the comedian in internal memos. "As with our other talent, we work hard to support their creative freedom — even though this means there will always be content on Netflix some people believe is harmful," he wrote to senior execs on Oct. 8.
In a subsequent communication sent to all employees, first reported by Variety, Sarandos doubled down on Netflix's stance about the Chappelle special and said "we have a strong belief that content on screen doesn't directly translate to real-world harm."
Sarandos' statements have only angered critics, who believe Netflix is helping to perpetuate anti-trans attitudes that do, in fact, have real-world ramifications. Netflix's Chappelle special has drawn sharp criticism from talent who have worked with the streamer including comedian Hannah Gadsby and Jaclyn Moore, co-showrunner of "Dear White People."
Last Friday, Netflix said it fired an employee who leaked confidential financial and viewing data on Chappelle's two most recent specials, "Squid Game" and Bo Burnham's "Inside." The info, which the staffer admitted to sharing externally, was cited in Bloomberg articles. The leaker may have been trying to embarrass Netflix by pointing out that the company paid more for "The Closer" ($24.1 million) than "Squid Game" ($21.4 million), an unexpected global hit that Netflix's internal documents project will produce nearly $900 million in value, per Bloomberg.
In "The Closer," Chappelle admits to being "transphobic" and wonders whether there is "even such a thing as a woman or man or anything anymore." He shares anecdotes about befriending a trans woman and beating up a trans woman, while also aligning himself on "Team TERF" (referring to "trans-exclusionary radical feminist") with "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, who has made anti-trans comments.

(L) A 24 foot tall, three sided Acoustifence barrier was installed around the industrial chiller on an existing chain link fence. (R) The top 10 feet of the adjacent Festival Foods warehouse-sized store is treated with QuietFiber to prevent sound reflection over the top of the chiller barrier.
SHEBOYGEN, Wisconsin, April 30, 2012 – Installation of a 24-foot noise barrier utilizing Acoustifence outdoor sound abatement material at the new Sheboygan Festival Foods store is complete, ending complaints from nearby residents over extreme levels of noise leaking from the store's industrial refrigeration chillers into the community.
Just one, 1/8 inch layer of Acoustiblok in a standard wall can result in more sound reduction than 12-inches of poured concrete. Environmentally friendly, Acoustiblok contains no lead, barium, or asbestos, is UV resistant and impervious to water and mold; it is UL rated and classified in the US and Canada (CUL) for virtually all wall, floor, and ceiling installations.

General practitioner Northern Ireland
GPs back mass-resignation plan
Hundreds of GPs in Northern Ireland have backed plans for mass resignation.
The overwhelming majority of the country's GPs who attended five BMA-organised roadshows between October and December have declared themselves willing to sign undated letters of resignation.
Northern Ireland GPs committee chair Tom Black has urged politicians to engage meaningfully with doctors in coming up with solutions for the medical community and patients.
He added that the outcomes of the negotiations on a rescue plan for general practice would be considered before at the next meeting of NIGPC on 25 January.
He said: 'What we have heard across all these meetings are the very issues we have been flagging up in general practice for many months now and unfortunately it looks like it's crunch time.
'While there were some positive announcements by [health minister Michelle] O'Neill recently as part of her health and well-being plans, until we have greater clarity about the funding for these initiatives we need to move forward with our own plans.'
Dr Black was referring to the Northern Ireland Government's recent Health and Well-being 2026: Delivering Together, a 10-year plan to improve health and social care performance.
'We will now enter into negotiations with the Department of Health on funding the rescue plan for general practice. The agreement will then go before the next meeting of NIGPC on 25 January for decision on whether it will meet the needs of the GP service here.'
Steps toward submitting undated resignations began following the approval of a motion at the BMA Northern Ireland local medical committees conference in March, calling for GPs to take action if a rescue package for general practice was not implemented within six months.
Measures being sought by NIGPC include a commitment to invest 10 per cent of Northern Ireland's health budget into general practice, as well as an immediate stabilisation fund for vulnerable practices and a credible plan for training and recruiting more GPs.
Following the motion, NIGPC staged a series of roadshow meetings in towns and cities across Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Armagh and Derry, to gauge opinion over taking action.
Ninety seven per cent of those attending the five events stated they were prepared to begin the process of resigning from the NHS by signing undated letters of resignation.
Addressed to a GPs' commissioning body, signed letters of resignation would be put at the disposal of the BMA, which can then decide if and when to send them.

The Geekdom Fund, a venture capital firm seeding tech companies, announced it has raised $20 million to invest. That's more than five times what they raised in 2014 for their first fund.
Geekdom Fund Managing Director Michael Girdley says it's the largest seed fund ever raised for technology in South Texas. With more than 60 investors, he thinks it is a reflection of the growing tech scene in San Antonio and surrounding cities.
"I think people, when we talk to them about being a part of this journey with us, they're excited about what's going on on Houston Street. They're excited about what's happening in Austin. Houston is starting to come on line with real tech growth," Girdley says.
The Fund has already invested in several companies with local connections. Dauber is a construction trucking fleet company, and RealCo is a San Antonio-based technology accelerator program. The fund isn't limited to just Texas though and is interested in promising companies all over the country, Girdley says.
Geekdom Fund provides support before traditional investors and VC firms. While nationally only one in 10 startups is a success, Girdley says many of their investments continue to raise money and three have had successful exits.

INEOS confirms entering bidding process to buy Manchester United

United have agreed terms with Rangnick, but not with Lokomotiv Moscow, where he is the head of sports and development.
Manchester United are close to appointing Ralf Rangnick as interim manager on a six-month contract, reports The Athletic.
The 63-year-old German is poised to join United but will not be in charge this weekend against Chelsea while he waits for his work permit.
It comes after United sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday following a trophyless three-year spell as boss.
Rangnick won the German Cup with Schalke in 2011 and took RB Leipzig to the final in 2019.
During the 2010-11 season he guided Schalke to the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they lost 6-1 on aggregate to United, who were then beaten by Barcelona in the final.
United are eighth in the Premier League and Solskjaer, who scored the winning goal in the 1999 Champions League final for the club, was dismissed following an embarrassing 4-1 loss at Watford on Saturday.
Michael Carrick, Solskjaer's assistant, was placed in temporary charge, with United saying he would be in place while they looked to appoint an interim manager to the end of the season.
Carrick took charge of United on Tuesday for the 2-0 win at Villarreal, a result that ensured they would finish top of their Champions League group.
Rangnick has built an impressive coaching reputation during his time in Germany, chiefly through spells at Stuttgart, Hannover, Hoffenheim, Schalke and RB Leipzig.
He was subsequently in charge of the Red Bull group of clubs and his current club Lokomotiv have a Europa League game against Lazio on Thursday evening and United are mindful of not disturbing their preparation.
Rangnick impressed during an initial conversation with United officials earlier this week.
However, he has held further discussions about his role beyond the end of the season.
Senior United figures believe Rangnick's expertise will be invaluable from a technical and structural perspective.
The move backs up the Old Trafford outfit's view that bringing in an interim manager to the end of the season will provide them with space to assess the managerial situation properly.
Mauricio Pochettino is known to be interested in the United job but the Premier League club are wary of getting into protracted discussions with PSG that could drag on for longer than they want.
It is understood Carrick will remain in charge for Sunday's game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

David Zisenwine – Tel Aviv University, The Kelman Center
Modern education systems function to build social cohesion through homogenization, whether in decentralized and varied school systems as in the USA or in highly unified and centralized systems as in France. The main vehicles for homogenization are language, culture, values, texts, secularism, epistemologies, interpretations, codes of conduct, design, and curricula; yet their efficacy in actually promoting positive forms of social cohesion remains unclear and varied. At the same time, cultural diversity and cultural sustainability pose challenges to the social cohesion agenda of education both for those concerned with integrating diverse groups within a nation-state and for those oriented to enhancing equity and autonomy for a particular ethnic or cultural community.
The question of whether culturally specific – faith, ethnic, linguistic, Diaspora, Indigenous – education exacerbates societal divisions has been an ongoing issue in modern political settings, despite the lip-service paid to diversity being a source of civic strength and pride. A plethora of educational solutions have been attempted with more or less success. Questions concerning which educational policies/approaches/curricula/strategies are better and in which contexts remain open, as do the implications for their multiple potential beneficiaries (states, communities, parents, students, and teachers). Some have even denied cultural sustainability as a relevant concept for it reifies and essentializes cultures and group boundaries in ways that can be less than liberating, not to mention empirically hard to demonstrate.
The great challenge confronting our world today is how to balance the competing interests of sustainability and social cohesion, and how to overcome local and international divides that threaten the spirit of cooperation needed to acknowledge the rich diversity that characterizes both global and local societies. Creating shared meanings, while validating diversity, is a pre-condition to securing the world guaranteeing our co-existence. Education that is sensitive to these issues can vastly contribute to an increased sense of civic global and local belonging, and promote a shared civic vision and agenda.
The Conference on Cultural Sustainability, Social Cohesion and Glocal Education will focus on these complex questions and issues from multiple disciplinary theoretical (psychology, sociology, education, economics, history, literature) and methodological perspectives. More specifically the conference wishes to critically examine the repertoire of educational strategies and pedagogies available to approach these issues and their implications for their multiple potential beneficiaries (states, communities, parents, students, and teachers).
The conference will bring together scholars who have dealt with these issues in the context of studies of minority, migrant, diaspora, and indigenous education throughout the world. In doing so, it will offer a unique opportunity to enrich the knowledge, communication, and cross-pollination of ideas of those who have, because of academic constraints, sustained parallel yet segregated scholarly inquires.
The conference will take place at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in June 2013.
Interested parties should submit an abstract of 600-800 words (not including bibliography) that describes in detail the subject chosen, research aims, a review of relevant literature, methodology adopted and findings. Abstracts should be submitted in a word document (font: Times New Roman, 12 points, double spaced) according to the following format:
(Manuscript Title)
(Last Name) (First Name) (Middle Name)
(University/Institute)
(Department)
(Address Street)
(City –State if relevant)
(Country + Country Code)
(Abstract Title)
(Abstract 600-800 words)
(Bibliography)
Abstracts should be sent to Zvi Bekerman mszviman [at] mscc [dot] huji [dot] ac [dot] il before March 1, 2012. Decisions will made by March 30th, 2012. If accepted, participants will be asked to pay a participation fee of $100. A copy of the accepted papers should be submitted by January 1st, 2013.
We count with a limited number of stipends to support the participation of authors of outstanding papers.
The organizers will publish an edited volume with the best papers presented in the conference. Other outstanding papers can be submitted for special issues of DIME – Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education: An International Journal. The Conference is devoted to facilitate further interdisciplinary research on the topics discussed and should provide possibilities for international cooperation in research (comparative) projects.
Organization and Accommodation
The Hebrew University – School of Education, Melton Center will be responsible for the organization and administration of the conference.
Hotel accommodation will be booked independently by participants. More information on accommodations will be supplied as the date approaches. (Suggested: The Faculty Club of the Hebrew University http://www.bmfc.huji.ac.il/eng/ )

Q: Apply a request action foreach data angular 2 In angular 2, I want to dispatch a request for multiple data.
For example I have some user data (2 ids) and want to apply a request for every id.
My code:
handleOnBulkAction(actionId) {
  const dataUser = this.userState.bulkList.map((userId) => {
    return {
      item: userId,
    };
  });
  this.dialogRef.afterClosed().subscribe(result => {
      if (result) {
        dataUser.forEach(user => {
          console.log(user); //it return the id
          this.store.dispatch(new user.DeleteAction({
              user: user.item,
              organisationId: this.organisationId
          }));
        });
      }
      this.dialogRef = null;
  });
  return;
}

And it gives the error:
ERROR TypeError: user.DeleteAction is not a constructor

Do you have any idea?
EDIT:
actions/user.ts
export class DeleteAction implements Action {
  type = ActionTypes.DELETE;

  constructor(public payload: any) {
  }
}

effects:
@Effect()
delete$: Observable<Action> = this.actions$
.ofType(user.ActionTypes.DELETE)
.map(toPayload)
.switchMap((args) => {
  return this.userService.deleteUser(args.user)
    .concatMap(response => [
      new user.DeleteSuccessAction(args.user),
      new organisation.FetchOneAction(args.organisationId)
    ])
    .catch((error) => [
      new layout.HideLoadingAction(),
      new user.ChangeStatusErrorAction(error)
    ]);
});

service:
 public deleteUser(user) {
  return this.http.delete(`${this.userApi}/${user.id}`, {
    withCredentials: true,
  }).map(() => {
   }).catch(this.errorService.handleError);
 }

World's biggest semi-submersible crane vessel
On 24 May 2019 it was announced that the world's biggest semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV) is set to enter service in the coming months, with the most powerful pair of revolving cranes for offshore oil, gas and renewable energy installation and decommissioning jobs.
Named after the Norse God Odin's eight-legged stallion and newly completed at Sembcorp Marine's Tuas Boulevard Yard for owner Heerema Marine Contractors, SSCV Sleipnir has a 220m by 102m reinforced deck area, making her the largest crane vessel to be built.
The vessel also has two 10,000-tonne revolving cranes which can lift loads of up to 20,000 tonnes in tandem. No other existing crane vessel has this capability.
Sleipnir can accommodate 400 persons and will be deployed globally for installing and removing jackets, topsides, deep-water foundations, moorings and other offshore structures.
Importantly, with her its single-lift capability catering to larger integrated structures than previously possible, Sleipnir will minimise offshore assembly work and raise operational efficiency to a new level, while not compromising the flexibility and robustness of traditional installation methodologies.
The vessel further stands out as the world's first crane vessel with dual-fuel engines running on Marine Gas Oil (MGO) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
Coupled with an IMO- and US Coast Guard-approved ballast water management system, Sleipnir will operate sustainably across all environmental jurisdictions.
Heerema has already secured contracts to deploy the vessel in various offshore energy developments, including: Leviathan topsides installation in the Mediterranean Sea; Tyra jackets and topsides installation and removal in the Danish North Sea; Brae B jackets and topsides removal in the UK North Sea; as well as transportation and installation of the Hollandse Kust Zuid (HKZ) Alpha HVAC platform in the North Sea, off the Dutch coast.
In the offshore wind sector, Heerema sees a significant growth in the size of wind turbines and foundations, which requires specialised equipment for their installation.
With her large cranes capable of a 129m lifting height and a combined 20,000-tonne lifting capacity, Sleipnir is very well placed to accommodate this trend of increasingly bigger offshore wind turbines.
The vessel will leave for sea trials shortly and is scheduled for delivery to Heerema soon afterwards.
