'Killing Eve' Review: A Suitable Season 3 Settles Into an Edgeless Groove
If Season 1 was the honeymoon and Season 2 an ensuing rough patch, then Season 3 is the marriage itself — reliable, flawed, and held together by love.

Jodie Comer in "Killing Eve"
Des Willie/BBCA
When "Killing Eve" began, its title's threat, promise, or intimation (however you want to read it) felt immediate — as if in any episode, at any moment, intelligence officer Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) could fall prey to the inventive assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer). But such immediacy inevitably mitigated; success demanded extending their story, and the plot twisted itself into knots so the cat and mouse could work together (and two award-winning stars could share the screen). A forbidden romance became a dysfunctional relationship, and the enticement of inexplicable attraction turned into a confounding inability to explain why this cop and this killer are drawn to one another.
Season 3 wisely stops trying to explain it, but it also simplifies the story to an all-too-comfortable degree. "Killing Eve" has always been a procedural at heart, first as Eve studied Villanelle's murders to get closer to her, and then as they teamed up to track down a new, unknown killer. As much as its serialized aspects made the BBC America drama out to be a new kind of crime show, the bones of a procedural have kept it alive. Serialization got everything twisted up, and procedure is the work of detangling. What's left may not provide the anything-can-happen rush of early episodes, but for those happy just to spend a little time with their favorite ex-agent and ultra-assassin, "Killing Eve" Season 3 should suffice. For those looking to be wowed week-in and week-out, well, it's just not that kind of show anymore.

To say much of anything about the first five episodes would send us into spoiler territory, so here's what can safely be said about where Season 3 stands. For one, Eve is alive. As if there was any doubt following the would-be Season 2 cliffhanger, the bullet that struck Oh's lead detective passed through her body safely enough to keep her breathing. Now, the former MI5 and MI6 operative is tearing up chicken gizzards and pinching together dumplings in the back of a restaurant, hiding from her former life as much as her former love.
Villanelle (Comer), meanwhile, is looking to be promoted. Her handler, Dasha (played by new cast member Dame Harriet Walter), helps facilitate a management training period, but anyone should be able to imagine why a solo artist like Villanelle might struggle caring for others. Still, Season 3 is another Villanelle-forward entry. Perhaps new writer and executive producer Suzanne Heathcote recognized the enticing complexity of a remorseless murderer, or simply how brightly Comer shined with the added spotlight last year. No matter the reason, Eve isn't just kept in the back of the restaurant — she's taken a backseat in the show. Villanelle even gets a standalone episode at the season's midway point, right after Eve's most substantial moment yet.
Sandra Oh in "Killing Eve"
Laura Radford/BBCA
Most notably absent from the season's first half are "Killing Eve's" odd injections of fun. That leaves the two leads to invent the series' trademark weirdness with their endless array of expressions and gif-ready reactions, which they can do, but the lack of creative dialogue and minor flourishes emphasizes Season 3's familiarity and repetitiveness. Season 3 is built around another ongoing investigation (this year's is revealed at the end of the premiere), and each episode tackles one clue at a time to tick forward the serialized story. Villanelle, meanwhile, still kills people — with the style and flair Comer carries so well — but these scenes serve as much-needed comic relief, their darkness evoking some of the strangeness found elsewhere in years prior. The series doesn't spend any extra time explaining how Villanelle gets in or out of the various predicaments she oh-so-casually creates, which keeps her intriguing, borderline supernatural, mystique intact.
It also suggests "Killing Eve" could work just fine if it followed through on its title. Losing Oh isn't the answer — Eve is half of the core couple, the eponymous lead, and the beating heart of an increasingly bloody narrative. But Oh has become more surprising than her character. She's expressive, spunky, and the way Oh sits down is more memorable than plenty of her obligatory exposition. Eve doesn't need to leave, but we're either in for two or three more seasons of a prolonged, circular, cat-and-mouse chase, or the old Eve has to die so a new, more honest version can emerge. In Season 3, she's still stuck in transition, while Comer lights up the screen and runs away with the story.
"Killing Eve" is a hybrid — a serialized procedural — and Season 3 tests how comfortable fans will be with a regimented structure. It's perfectly fine entertainment, supported by two excellent performances. But if the series wants its edge back, it will have to go in for the kill.
Grade: B-
"Killing Eve" Season 3 premieres Sunday, April 12 at 9 p.m. ET on BBC America and AMC.

Juvenile Crime Case Results
Riverside, Shoplifting at Three Stores, WIC 654.1 Program
Our client and her friend, both minors, went shopping for swimsuits, bras and jewelry, except they did not intend to pay for any of it.
Our client selected three items of jewelry, two swimsuits and two bras at three separate stores (one was Target) before being stopped by one store's loss prevention officers with the items in her purse. The items' value was $80.57. Her friend had considerably more items, perhaps valued at $150, when caught.
After loss prevention took her and her friend into custody, they realized our client and her friend had had a shoplifting spree and called the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, who took custody of the pair and transported them to the sheriff's station.
Our client was a senior in high school at the time of the arrest. She had no prior criminal history and was looking forward to a four-year college. She had mostly B's in high school, except in math. Her parents were very proud of her, as neither had gone to a four-year college.
The client's parents contacted Greg Hill & Associates shortly after their daughter's arrest. The parents were terrified that all of their daughter's hard work in high school, including varsity sports, was going to be erased by a conviction for a crime of dishonesty.
Summary: Client, age 17 and a senior in high school, arrested for commercial burglary (Penal Code § 459) after being caught shoplifting at three stores in Riverside mall; case dismissed under WIC 654 Program.
What the parents did not know, but is a sad fact, is that certain student loan providers will not approve such a loan if the student has a juvenile adjudication for theft, as they believe that the risk of the person being kicked out of college is higher due to proven dishonesty already and that even if the person does graduate, the person will not pay back the loan because he or she is a thief. In other words, it is just common sense and good business not to loan money to a thief.
Greg Hill discussed the case at length with the parents and commented that the Welfare & Institutions Code (WIC) § 654 pre-filing diversion program might be a way to preserve the client's resume and avoid any action in the Riverside County Superior Court that could ruin their daughter's future.
Greg also recommended that the client enroll in and complete an online shoplifting awareness class (either through Tom Wilson Counseling Center, Logan Social Services or the National Association of Shoplifting Prevention), which the client did do.
Greg Hill's hunch proved correct, as after he wrote the Riverside County district attorney handling the case, enclosing the client's proof of completion certificate from the online shoplifting prevention course and suggesting the WIC 654 program, the district attorney called our office.
The district attorney acknowledged receipt of the letter and commented that our client must really care about her future and how her recent lapse of judgment would affect her future. The district attorney then indeed offered the 654 program to the client, which our client accepted at the arraignment. However, in a somewhat unusual step, the prosecutor brought the complaint to court, but did not file it.
This program is a form of pre-filing diversion normally, wherein a plea is deferred pending the juvenile's performance of certain requirements and if such requirements are met, the case is simply never filed (some would say it is dismissed, but this is technically untrue because it is never filed).
In the case of our client, she was required to attend an in-person (not online) theft prevention course and perform 40 hours of approved community service within six months. She was also required to keep her grades high and not miss school without a valid excuse.
The client then completed the 40 hours of community service and the case was indeed dismissed. The client and her parents were relieved to find their daughter unscathed by a conviction and on her way to college.

Impact of Social Media on Chennai Floods
In the first week of December 2015, Chennai, India's fourth largest city with a metro area the size of Chicago, was paralyzed. Flooding from record rainfall, the heaviest in more than a hundred years, has cut off more than 3 million people from basic services for days.However this has taken a different turn on Social Media. Social media has created a significant impact on Chennai floods by clubbing in people from around the world in providing relief for the flood victims. Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Whats App have played a crucial role in spreading message to help marooned citizens in flood ravaged Chennai, with many offering voluntary services and establishing contact with loved ones through these medium. Though several areas were inundated in last week's heavy rains, people still managed to post messages seeking help or sharing information about those ready to offer help.
Facebook and Twitter hashtags have made a huge contribution on bringing in the attention to many during Chennai floods. Facebook has also started its Safety Status update which provides an alert for Facebook users by marking their status as safe. After Google and Facebook offered to help citizens of Chennai affected heavily by rains, Skype has also joined the list. Chennai locals have already started using Twitter not just to tweet images and updates of the floods, but also to organize and coordinate rescue and relief efforts.
Hashtags such as #ChennaiRainsHelp, #ChennaiRescue and #ChennaiMicro are being used by stranded people to ask for help, as well as help the volunteers to offer food, shelter and transport. Twitter handles such as @ChennaiRains are also sending live updates. Google India also activated its Crisis Response page, which compiles resources for emergency helpline numbers, crowd sourced maps, flooded streets and relief centers. A crowd sourced Google spreadsheet started by Chennai residents has become one of the most popular platforms for relief efforts. It has a list of shelters and other helping aid being offered by volunteers.
Its overwhelming to watch youngsters utilize the Social Media in such a productive way. Social Media providing a great platform for uniting people from every corner of the world and allowing every single person to be a participant for varied causes. This reflects the utmost potential for our future generations, pushing it to a level were even the current political existence can be challenged and upturned.

Video Me Out Live! – Facebook
Judging by the trend, social media has rocketed to a level where we can share seconds of our life with our loved one at the other part of the world. "The recent test run by Facebook , which lead's user to have live video streaming" is a classic example.
New Features Added To Facebook
Facebook last week launched a beta version of its Live Video service for a small percentage of iPhone users in the United States. Live Video reportedly will be available for the Android platform at a later date.
Facebook press release stated that it is a pilot project to make it easier to share videos from mobile devices. The lessons learned from that will help Facebook decide which new items to share in the future.
For the selected few, you can bring the photos and videos you share on Facebook to life with live video and collages, to help friends and family feel like they're in the moment with you.
Dec 03, Facebook marked the beginning to test the ability for people to share live video on Facebook, starting with a small percentage of people in the US on iPhone's. Live lets you show the people you care about what you're seeing in real time — whether you're visiting a new place, cooking your favorite recipe, or just want to share some thoughts. No matter where you are, Live lets you bring your friends and family right next to you to experience what's happening together.
Wants to share your first video? Follow this.
To share live video, tap on Update Status and then select the Live Video icon. You can write a quick description and choose the audience that you want to share with before going live. During your broadcast, you'll see the number of live viewers, the names of friends who are tuning in, and a real-time stream of comments. When you end your broadcast, it will be saved on your Timeline like any other video, which you can then delete or keep for your friends to watch later.
Live Video could appeal to independent broadcasters looking to add a stronger social element to their videos, and companies seeking to add a new twist to their social marketing campaigns
Also headed to their app is a handy new Collage feature. Because chances are you want to share more than just 1 photo of an event or outing, going through your "Camera Roll" and picking them out 1-by-1 can be tedious. With Collage, Facebook organizes recent photos and videos from your gallery based on where they were shot.

Twitter Moving t.co to HTTPS Only for New Links
Twitter is now moving t.co to HTTPS only for new links from October 1, 2015 onwards. The HTTPS scheme helps Twitter securely transfer readers to the intended landing page.
One of the team members from the Twitter development team published a thread on the Twitter Community forum stating that the new company's plan for HTTPS on new outbound links. So from October 1, 2015 onwards, if you share a link on Twitter, it will cloak in https://t.co. This HTTPS scheme allows Twitter to securely transfer readers to the intended landing page, even if the landing page is not an HTTPS link.
Going forward, this HTTPS change will increase the length of cloaked URLs by a single character. Another issue with this change is tracking referral traffic to non-HTTPS sites. Twitter explains that non-HTTPS sites may notice an apparent decrease in referral numbers from Twitter. Based on Twitter estimates, you may see a 10% drop in traffic attribution as a result of this HTTPS change. Also, the percentage will decrease over time as users update their browsers to the latest versions supporting to the referrer policy.

Troy McClain has been tracking a cougar through the snow for several hours in an attempt to get close enough to set his dogs loose in order to tree him. Well after a long tracking session, he summoned his partner. I walked it out as far as I could walk out. I said hey I got this old logging road that is covered in snow so somebody come pick me up. So I radioed out. They come pick me up and I said somebody else walk this track out. I've got it fresh as I think it can be. So we switched it up, I had a buddy, he began to walk it out and he starts tracking the track. We have all heard the stories about how cougars are the most proficient killers in the Northwest. They are unbelievably stealthy. These animals can creep up on you without you even knowing it. So I jumped in the truck and said hey you walk it out a little bit more, before we set the dogs loose and he starts walking it out and as he's walking these tracks, he's following cougar track, following cougar track and the cougar track started looping around, started making 180° turn and as he's following this big U-turn, pretty soon he gets onto my tracks, tracks that I was walking on the cougar, and the cougar's tracks are in my tracks. As he keeps walking it out he gets onto his tracks back to where we met on the road and that cougar must have been up in the tree and then circled back around and followed me of the old time and then following him. In the end, Troy got the dogs involved, found the cougar in a tree, and just took pictures.

Sunny Rajab, CEO of Business Communications Solutions, faced the biggest challenge of her life when her 5-year-old daughter, Shayda, was diagnosed with a rare type of Stage IV cancer and given a slim chance of survival. After nine months of chemotherapy and a hard-fought battle, Shayda beat the cancer and inspired her mother. Appreciative of all the support they received, Sunny and Shayda wanted to support and encourage other children fighting cancer, so they founded the Shayda Strong Foundation, a pediatric cancer charity.

Q: Enumeration Combinatorics A board game contains three bags: a blue one, a red one, and a green one. The game also
contains 5 gaming chips labeled with the numbers 1 to 5.
(a) Explain why there are 243 ways of distributing all the chips over the bags. (There is no order of chips within a bag. It only matters which chip is in which bag.)
(b) In how many ways can all the chips be distributed over the bags so that the red bag
is not empty?
(c) In how many ways can some or all chips be put into the bags? (I.e. not every chip
needs to go into a bag.)
(d) In how many ways can you put exactly 3 chips into the green bag and 2 chips into
the blue bag?
(e) Now the chips are removed from the bags (and you can forget about the bags). Two
stacks are formed from the chips, one for Player A and one for Player B. Note that
stacks do have an order, i.e. it matters which chips are on top of which other chips.
i. In how many ways can the chips be stacked if all the chips are in Player A's
stack?
I really don't understand how to do the first part if someone can explain then I can do the second part

A: (a) For each chip, the chip may either be put in the blue bag or red bag, or green bag. So, there are three possibilities for each chip. Thus, by the fundamental principle of multiplication, there are a total of $3\times3\times3\times 3\times 3=3^5=243$ possibilities.
(b) The number of ways in which all the chips go to the other two bags
is $2^5=32$. Consequently, the required number is $3^5-2^5=243-32=211$.
(c) In this case, the required number is $4^5-1=1024-1=1023$ ways.
(d) For this, you choose the three you want to put into the green one. The required number would be $C(5,3)=10$.
(e) It would be $5!=120$.

A: (a) $243$  (b) $211$ (c) $1023$ (d) $10$ (e) $120$

I always like to wear a beautiful coat to the ANZAC dawn service. I feel like ANZAC Day so frequently marks the "turn in the season" when we have to say goodbye to Summer and long hot days that I may as well try to welcome in the colder seasons in style and use it to help me get excited about being able to wear cuddly winter clothes (especially since I am never excited about the drop in temperature. Not. Ever.). In fact more often than not there is vintage or homemade hats and gorgeous gloves present for this event too. It is usually really really cold at Dawn in April after all!
I've only attended ANZAC Day dawn service since I met the FFA (fabric folding assistant/husband) but I have to say as much as we often complain about being frozen and sleepy it is always a moving experience – if you've never been to a dawn service you should go even just once!
This cape has been a long time coming – like a year or more really…I started out great guns planning to wear this to last years dawn service, then I decided to add a lining to the unlined pattern…and realized I didn't know how to sew welts…and that I didn't have just the right buttons…so for these and other reasons this cape languished through last Winter and Summer while I accumulated supplies like lining and buttons and gathered up the courage to start in on those welts. I seriously think I watched a feature film's worth of youtube tutorials on welt making gearing up to finally stitch those buggers!
Part of the problem was that I loved the fabric so much – it's some sort of wool-look-alike poly blend from Spotlight which works for me, since most real wool like this would just make me itch and this doesn't! So of course loving the fabric meant it had to sit and wait until I had moved out of the honeymoon-phase of fabric love and into the more practical, real-world love phase where it was ok to cut into this glorious fabric, even if what I made wasn't perfect *gasps in horror*!
The pattern is McCalls M6446 and I will admit that part of the appeal of a cape was 1) Not having to fit it like a normal garment, if it went over my head that was great! This turned out to be a good thing since I am definitely a different size/shape now compared to when I started sewing this project. 2) I love the vintage feel of capes with big welts for your hands. Also this means I can pretend I am Little Red Riding Hood for no good reason… See attached photos if you don't believe me hehehe 3) If it is really cold I can pull my arms inside the body of the cape and really huddle for warmth! Ditto wearing like 10 layers under here and still looking chic!
I made a standard size 10 and am happy with the fit – there is ALOT of fabric in this cape but the shoulder darts really help control the fall of the fabric. The edges of the collar and pocket flanges are covered with satin bias binding from Spotlight that conveniently matched the gorgeous rose red/pink colour of the checks. I actually bought this stuff back when I bought the fabric and pattern and was intending to make an unlined cape. Then I decided to match the lining satin to the bias binding and had a massive struggle finding a similar colour – DK Fabrics eventually came to my rescue!
The only 2 things that lets this make down for me is that I should have made bound buttonholes since the vintage buttons I bought at the Burra Antiques Fair were so huuuge that my automatic buttonhole foot can't make buttonholes big enough for them! Since I only discovered this right at the end of this project my solution was to add black press studs instead and sew on the buttons for decoration. I actually really like the studs now since this cape is quick and easy to get off and on with minimal fussing. The other point is that because it took me so long to get through this project the addition of the lining wasn't planned very well. I have only made a lined jacket once before and that was simple to follow the pattern. Since I added my own lining the hems are just stitched and turned on this and the edges of the big welts are not stitched down very evenly at all. I'm actually considering unpicking this and re-stitching it again but I'll wait and see if I can be bothered first – I was so excited to finally be able to wear this beauty I rushed through this finishing step so I could wear it sooner!
I think this will get quite a bit of wear this year – it's very very comfy and warm but still looks like I made an effort so I'm sure it will go on rotation in my wardrobe as Winter hits.
P.S – check out the new shoes! I've been looking for some black shoe/boots with peeptoes for ages and finally found a pair. Yay for new shoes!

The latest Burkina Faso terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of 28 and injured 56 others highlight the imminent threat of World War 3. This, on top of the tension between the two Korean nations and the ISIS threat all point to a potential global war ahead.
Islamist terrorists attacked a luxurious hotel in Burkina Faso on Friday night shooting some and taking others as hostages in a siege that lasted hours.
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) claimed responsibility for the assault at the Splendid Hotel, popular among foreigners in the capital, Ouagadougou, according to BBC.
Burkinabe Security Minister Simon Compoare said security forces entered the hotel early Saturday and freed 176 hostages, half of whom were hospitalised. At least four attackers died in the assaults while there were claims that some of those involved were women. The attackers also targeted the Cappuccino café across the street and another hotel nearby.

Chasing service jobs won't save midsize cities. Education and manufacturing innovation can.
Wednesday, Apr 12 2017
Iowa native Austin Frerick is an economist who has worked at the Institute for Research on Poverty and the Congressional Research Service. -promoted by desmoinesdem
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of hearing about the death of every Iowa community that isn't home to a Starbucks.
The Register published an in-depth story recently on the economic decline of Iowa's midsize cities. The economic picture is bleak. Iowa's midsize cities are the poorest parts of the state by most metrics.
In the article, two Iowa State University researchers argued that these communities should seek to lure "professional services jobs in health care and education and attracting lawyers, accountants and architects" instead of pushing for more jobs in manufacturing, which they call a "race to the bottom."
I strongly disagree.
Fort Dodge, Keokuk and the 15 other midsize cities can thrive with both manufacturing and professional service jobs. Moreover, there is a real opportunity to bring back the type of well-paying manufacturing jobs that will allow these towns to once again thrive.
The human cost of Big Pharma's greed: Overcharging the Hepatitis C cure
Tuesday, Mar 21 2017
Did you know drug companies exploit charities to increase their profits? Neither did I before reading this piece by Austin Frerick. -promoted by desmoinesdem
Susan, a 52-year-old mother of two from Indianola, thought she had landed the perfect job. She would be sitting behind a desk in Des Moines after years of working on her feet in retail and even got new benefits like the day off on Christmas Eve. But her excitement ended when her life insurance application was denied because she had Hepatitis C.
Susan is one of 3.5 million Americans living with chronic Hepatitis C, nearly 80 percent of whom are "baby boomers" (born between 1945 and 1965). Susan, like most other baby boomers, was likely infected during a blood transfusion before hospitals screened blood for the virus. The infection can last a lifetime and lead to serious liver problems, including cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) or liver cancer. Many other baby boomers in Iowa only recently discovered that they were infected, either through a routine physical or when they started showing symptoms. A new report by the state Department of Public Health found that reported cases in Iowa have increased by nearly 200 percent since 2000.
Why Iowans need job-protected paid leave

Kristen Corey of Ankeny remembers the moment clearly. The moment she realized that things were different for women in the working world than for men.
Twenty-five and newly married, she just started a new job and asked her human resource professional about the company's maternity policy. The HR person looked at her and with a short laugh answered, "Well, you just use your accrued sick and vacation time." Kristen responded, but "what if I get pregnant in the next few months?"
To that the HR person quipped, "Don't get pregnant."
Failing Iowa's Children: The shortcomings of welfare reform and the path forward
Monday, Sep 19 2016
Austin Frerick, an Iowa native and economist who has worked at the Institute for Research on Poverty and the Congressional Research Service, examines state assistance to poor children 20 years after federal welfare reform. -promoted by desmoinesdem
Nine-year-old Kaylie moved into a cheap motel after her mother got evicted. They have no refrigerator. Kaylie retrieves ice from the ice machine and fills the sink with it to keep the milk cold. When they have milk. Kaylie is just one of the approximately 110,000 Iowa children living in poverty, up 44 percent since 2000. Frontline profiled Kaylie and several other poor Iowa children in the acclaimed episode "Poor Kids."
This year marks the 20th anniversary of President Clinton's Welfare Reform. Prior to the reform, any poor mother and child in this country received a monthly subsistence check. This law changed that. It destroyed that safety net. It removed this promise and left states free to almost eliminate welfare. Politicians promised innovation by devolving power to states on the premise that they would come up with new ways address poverty but that never happened (Iowa's last innovation meeting occurred in 1996). They promised it would get poor mothers back to work, but the programs proved ineffective (Iowa allocates less than 6% of funding to job assistance).
Most welfare dollars don't even go directly to poor children anymore. Most states, including Iowa, use this money to supplement funding elsewhere. Twenty years later, there are now more poor kids receiving less support. We have let the bottom fall even further for our most vulnerable.
Iowa should abandon its current failed welfare system and instead enact a Social Security program for all of its children. This idea builds on the simple notion that parents know what is best for their children, and it would remove layers of ineffective bureaucracy.
Disheartened in the Heartland: Iowa's Disinvestment in Higher Education (UPDATE)
Thursday, Jul 28 2016
Austin Frerick, an Iowa native and economist who has worked at the Institute for Research on Poverty and the Congressional Research Service, follows up on the trend of Iowa state universities becoming "increasingly dependent on higher tuition and student fees to make up for the declining state support." -promoted by desmoinesdem
The Iowa Board of Regents recently approved another budget that does nothing to stem the privatization of higher education in Iowa. State appropriations in fiscal year 2017 for the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, and the University of Northern Iowa is still LESS than it was in 2001, down 32 percent when you adjust for inflation. And while investment falls, tuition and student debt continues to soar to record highs.
I updated the figures from a previous post on the subject and the trend lines have only intensified.
Big Meat, Small Towns: The Free Market Rationale for Raising Iowa's Minimum Wage
Friday, Jun 3 2016
Austin Frerick, an Iowa native and economist who has worked at the Institute for Research on Poverty and the Congressional Research Service, makes a distinctive case for raising the minimum wage, last increased in Iowa in January 2007. -promoted by desmoinesdem
All of the states that border Iowa, except one, have raised their minimum wage above the federal level. In fact, a majority of states in the union have a higher one. A recent study estimated that 413,000 Iowa workers would benefit from a wage increase to at least $12 and most of the benefits would accrue to full-time adult women. The public also already decidedly supports this action as a recent Des Moines Register poll found that nearly two-thirds of Iowans favored raising it. This debate is especially relevant for Iowans employed in the numerous slaughterhouses that dot the state.
Company towns, once a relic of America's industrial past, have reemerged in American society, notably in rural Iowa slaughterhouse communities. This occurred because of a market climate that made their monopsony position in these communities attractive to firms. This predicament causes a market failure. Therefore, raising Iowa's minimum wage will correct this market distortion for these especially vulnerable Iowans.

Coronavirus: Doesn't SARS-CoV-2 Infection Cause Immunity?
Corona infection: not automatically immune?
According to the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA), studies have shown that people who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection develop specific antibodies. "However, it is still unclear how robust and permanent this immune status will be and whether there may be differences from person to person," wrote the BZgA a few weeks ago. There are now more insights into this.
In many people shortly after being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, tests no longer find any special antibodies in the blood. What does that mean for herd immunity, immunity passports and the development of vaccines?
No antibodies detectable
In the corona pandemic, many people hope for immunity - after surviving infection or through a vaccination that will soon be available. Both of these could arm the immune system against the pathogen and protect people against the disease COVID-19. Now, however, many studies indicate that, especially in people who have had little or no symptoms, antibodies in the blood are no longer detectable soon after an infection.
Understanding of immunity unclear
It is still unclear what that means for a possible immunity. However, the observations raise doubts about the validity of antibody tests and the immunity passports currently under discussion. A precise understanding of the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 would also be crucial for the development of a vaccine.
The immune response appears to be inconsistent in humans. In principle, the immune system can react to pathogens with so-called T cells. Some T cells activate B cells, which then produce antibodies. Antibodies bind to certain characteristics of pathogens and can inactivate them.
At first glance, the presence of special antibodies seems to be a good indicator of an earlier infection. However, an investigation by the University Hospital Zurich found no so-called IgG antibodies in the blood of people with mild or asymptomatic courses. These are important for the immune memory - so that the immune system reacts stronger and faster when it comes into contact with the pathogen again.
So far, the study is only a preprint - it has therefore not been reviewed by experts or published in a specialist journal.
Researchers are unsettled
Another study published by the Lübeck Health Office as a preprint found no antibodies in 30 percent of 110 corona infected people who also had moderate COVID-19 symptoms. And in the journal "Nature Medicine", researchers from China report that the antibody concentration in the blood dropped significantly after a short time in infected people without symptoms.
Such studies make the validity of antibody mass tests, which should clarify the extent of the corona infection wave in the population, appear questionable. In addition, immunity given by antibodies in many SARS-CoV-2-infected people could disappear after a short time.
Accordingly, Thomas Jacobs from the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM) in Hamburg sees the introduction of immunity passports for people who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. In any case, there is no scientific guarantee that the presence of antibodies automatically protects against renewed infection.
"We generally do not yet know exactly how antibodies protect," says the immunologist. Studies would suggest such protection, "but it remains unclear how high the antibody level must be, for example."
Antibodies have different qualities
Klaus Cichutek, President of the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI), emphasizes that one has to differentiate between antibodies: "There are different qualities of antibodies and not all prevent infection." It is important here to find hard data: "Whether one Immune protection arises, must be measured against reality. "
Likewise, Jacobs is not surprised by the results of the study that, in the case of asymptomatic illnesses, few or no antibodies can be found quickly: "A few viruses in the neck and throat area are probably not enough to trigger a large antibody response or T cell immunity."
This adapted reaction makes sense for the immune system, since we are constantly exposed to pathogens in everyday life: "If we can answer with light weapons, we do not need to use heavy artillery." However, COVID-19 diseases with more severe symptoms will probably be a problem longer-term protection established.
Immunity remains only a few months
Studies on other coronaviruses indicate that renewed SARS-CoV-2 infection may prevent immunity from persisting for only a few months, as the virologist Shane Crotty from the La Jolla Institute of Immunology in California told Nature magazine. A symptom-relieving immunity could therefore last longer.
It is uncertain which part of the immune system is particularly important for this protection. "In addition to the antibody-producing B cells, the T cell response to the pathogen can be just as important," explains Jacobs. Which mechanism works above all is a central question for the development of a vaccine.
The infection researcher refers to studies from the USA and Germany: In it, up to 30 percent of people who were not infected with SARS-CoV-2 still had certain T helper cells that reacted to this coronavirus: "They have probably had it before Contact with so-called common cold corona viruses "- in other words with other corona viruses that trigger conventional colds.
Such contact could offer partial immunity to COVID-19. "That would explain why there are so different dynamics and symptoms to be observed in the infection," presumes Jacobs. However, it is still unclear whether and what protection this so-called T cell reactivity could offer. (ad; source: dpa)

Instagram Testing Story Cross-Posting Feature To WhatsApp
Just click and share on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook at once
Facebook, the social media giant and the company that owns Snapchat's two top-notch competitors Instagram and WhatsApp are planning a new gift for users. It seems Facebook has taken the cross-posting feature very seriously as it is testing the same with Instagram stories for WhatsApp. Stories, the feature that lets the users post images, videos, and text for a limited time on Instagram is getting linked to the WhatsApp status. In October, the cross-posting was first introduced by the search giant for users to post Instagram stories directly on Facebook.
According to the recently posted local Brazilian blog, Instagram lets the users share their stories as WhatsApp status with an Instagram Icon. The messaging app's status feature is similar to the stories through which users can share decorated images, videos, and GIFs, that will appear for 24 hours after posting. By allowing the cross-posting, the Instagram posted stories can also be shared as WhatsApp status with encryption and will get disappear after 24 hours like normal status.
In the blog, a user shared an image showing the Instagram story posting screen one side and a shared WhatsApp status on the other side. The Instagram screen shows an option with a plus sign to share the story on WhatsApp and afterward user had to press 'send' in WhatsApp to finally post the story as a status. However, the cross-posting feature is being tested with a handful number of Instagram users till date. The move comes under the publicly available code by WhatsApp that makes possible for the messaging app to integrate with any third-party app on web or Android.
Adding the WhatsApp in the cross-posting cycle didn't come as a surprise as it was expected from Facebook to further snatch the Snapchat's market. There could be a few reasons for Facebook for adding one more cross-platform posting option. Increasing the WhatsApp status users could be one of those but unlike Facebook stories, the WhatsApp status has almost 300 million daily active users. This leaves us with the major reason that could be, powering up its social media ecosystem by keeping the users busy with its interconnected product. This will also expand the user's time spent over the social media apps every day.
However, there could be one problem that users could face with this addition and that is getting bored of the same content. There is a huge portion of users that uses all the three platforms regularly and they may end up seeing the same content everywhere they look, that is annoying. Facebook is working on a way to filter the Instagram stories for users, so if anyone who has seen a story on one platform will not be delivered same content on other channels.
Stories are not the only thing that Facebook is planning to gift cross-platform functionality, recently it was also spotted testing the cross-notification feature between Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram. A few days back, WhatsApp also accidentally released a new feature that went viral among the users. Once the Instagram story cross-posting with WhatsApp hit the wider audience, it will be easier for users to share their stories on different platforms with a single move.

Take a walk into the Suggs Laboratory for Precision Agriculture and Machine Systems and it's hard not to be impressed. Named after Charlie Suggs for his contributions to the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering (BAE), NC State and the field as a whole, the lab embodies his work ethic and dedication to furthering knowledge.
The brightly lit space houses a sleek drone fitted with crop sensors in one corner and a tractor with a field computer and automatic steering being installed in another. Both will be used in various research, extension and academic projects, all with the aim of improving efficiency in agriculture. A newly mounted whiteboard takes up most of another wall. Current projects, collaborators and bullet points are scrawled across the board, spanning research areas from cotton to Christmas trees to corn and pigs.
"I tried to take a photo to show my parents, but couldn't fit it all in just one photo," says Kyle Townsend, an undergraduate researcher in the lab.
One such project underway involves placing sensors over corn crops to assess weather damage.
Ward joined BAE as an assistant professor in precision agriculture in 2017 and hit the ground running, bringing valuable experience spanning over 10 years in industry, government and academia.
BAE student Ryan Phillips participates in undergraduate research in the department. Photo by Rebecca Nagy.
In this project, unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, will be used to quantify crop damage. These findings will be compared to the condition of crops on the ground. Using this data, the precision agriculture team can compare specific measurement technologies to find the best set of tools to quantify the severity of damage and area of impact.
These findings can have value not only for farmers to prioritize their harvest, but could also have implications for the insurance industry or federal disaster response agencies.
"If they can catalog the damage quickly, then that means that more resources come open for farmers," Ward adds.
"There is a long history of precision agriculture both here at NC State and as a department," notes Gary Roberson, associate professor and extension specialist specializing in machine systems and precision agriculture.
Roberson prides himself on starting his career working for Charlie Suggs, a giant in the field of agricultural engineering who also happened to be the department's first Ph.D. student.
The recent NC State Academy of Outstanding Teachers and College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Outstanding Teaching Award recipient received his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from BAE.
"Early collaborations between BAE, the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, the Department of Horticultural Science and other departments at NC State led to the first Precision Agriculture Field Day at Cherry Research Farm," Roberson remembers.
A current project he's working on involves something many may not associate with each other or North Carolina: UAVs and Christmas trees. The use of UAVs to apply various nutrient and chemical applications in place of the traditional manual method is both safer and faster. This is especially true in the mountains where the terrain can be unkind, Roberson explains. In additional to spray treatment, the UAVs will be able to provide size and growth data, which will be vital to growers to continue to improve efficiency.
Roberson and Ward are also undertaking a project with funding from industry partner Cotton, Inc. By using John Deere radio frequency harvest ID tags, researchers will be able to track the quality of cotton from bale to gin, linking fiber quality data to specific field locations within a cotton field. Ultimately, this information can help cotton producers manage for quality and yield while improving harvest logistics and minimizing contamination.
Jared Day, a BAE agriculture and environmental technology alum who works for John Deere, is another collaborator. "Being able to work with the university toward a common goal is a great thing," Day explains.

"North Carolina is one of the most diverse states in terms of agriculture, which leads to challenges as well as opportunities," notes Roberson.
And after accounting for the resources available at NC State for collaboration — and the industry resources right down the road at Research Triangle Park — it's easy to see how BAE can take a leading role in precision agriculture moving forward.
Continuing the department's trend of unprecedented growth, a newly hired faculty member will bring a different kind of expertise.
Sierra Young will join BAE in January 2019 in biosensors. Her research interests focus around the use of robotics and automation for sensing and sense-making in agricultural, natural and urban systems, and human-robot interaction for unmanned systems.
Young received her bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Cornell University and a master's degree in civil and environmental engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The Department of Defense National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellow is completing her Ph.D. in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as she holds a visiting scholar position in Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering at Iowa State University.
Young recently presented research at national conferences on measuring soil moisture and temperature with UAVs, rapid phenotyping row crops with robots, and high precision control of tracked robots on crop fields.
While the department's approach to precision agriculture is expanding, the basic tenets of its philosophy will stay the same.
Amazing good article of Agri tech. The full potential of drone technology in the agricultural sector hasn't been fully released. However, it can already help farmers take the guesswork out of farming with sophisticated data collection and analysis. These insights can be used to develop precision farming techniques that will generate greater yields with fewer resources.
Drone technology can help farmers boost efficiency and profits even as they battle the repercussions of Brexit, volatile commodity prices and skill shortages. Let's take a closer look at some of the realities; the specific agricultural applications already available, their affordability and future possibilities.

People working in the social sciences often treat social survey data as if it is dangerous to interpolate more than a few missing values. This is not true. There is so much redundancy in typical datasets that large amounts of missing data can be replaced without serious problems.
The images below show this clearly.
Compare the two images above. The one on the left is an uncompressed image of the Banff Springs Hotel in Alberta, Canada. The second image is the result of a lossy compression using the JPEG algorithm, followed by its inverse expansion. The original image was compressed by a factor of almost 20, from 115,366 bytes to 5,937 bytes. Almost 95% of the original data was thrown away, yet the reconstructed image is quite recognizable.


Dozens of people were taken to hospitals after reporting dizziness and shortness of breath Wednesday at a Bank of America call center in Fort Worth. An additional 110 were treated at the scene.
At first, fire officials suspected that carbon monoxide or some other toxic fumes had sickened almost 150 people at a Texas bank call center.

The lack of transparency around the Named Person scheme
Tam Baillie, Children`s Commissioner
Gordon Brewer interviewed Tam Baillie, Scotland`s Children`s Commissioner, on Sunday Politics Scotland earlier today.
He began by mentioning that questions about whether Liam Fee had a single point of contact had been met by accusations of political posturing.
"You wrote an article in the Sunday Times about it today," said Gordon Brewer. "The third sentence of that says and I quote: `that Liam`s death has been used by some as a means to furthering a campaign against the Named Person service. It`s unforgivable. Because the tragic loss of a child should be above political posturing.` What do you mean?"
"There`s two reasons. First of all I mean Liam Fee`s death is an absolute tragedy and it affects the individuals involved, communities and indeed the whole workforce that`s involved in that; and the sad fact is that no child protection service in the world can offer assurances that it will be fail-safe. So that`s the first thing..."
"The second thing is... the Named Person service is really a low level early warning system for where things are at an early stage of going wrong in a child`s life; and I can`t comment on the details of the Liam Fee case but what we do know is that this was a child that was going to social work and that puts that case, that incident, that child, way beyond the level of the Named Person."
"I do understand that. I do take your point. But what about the facts of this case? Fife was a pilot area for the Named Person wasn`t it?"
"Yeah, but regardless whether Liam Fee had a Named Person or not... I can`t say, because I don`t know the ins and outs of the case. But what I would say is this is a child who was in a system where it was obvious ... he was way beyond that early intervention and that early warning..."
"Why don`t you know?" the presenter asked Tam Bailie.
"Well, because I can`t comment on the details of the case..."
"You could have contacted Fife Council and said what exactly were the arrangements in place?"
"Well, it wasn`t my job to try and to find the arrangements in place for that. There`s going to be a significant case review and I also said in the article we have to let the people who are running the significant case review... look at the totality of the actions that were taken which identify where the errors were made..."
Gordon Brewer persisted: "Don`t you think that before you wrote an article in a national newspaper saying people were indulging in political posturing and that their behaviour was unforgivable, as the Children`s Commissioner for Scotland it might have been a good idea for you to have contacted Fife Council and the Scottish Government and ascertained the facts of the case?"
"But even if there`s a Named Person for Liam Fee that is really not the point in terms of that child being known to social work which means that there should have been systems in place to ensure the safety of that child rather than ... the Named Person."
"Yes I understand that .... John Swinney, the other day, the deputy First Minister - he said there was a person, a point of contact, but not in terms of the legislation - Do you know what that means?"
"Mm er ... I presume he`s saying there was a person appointed as a contact somewhere with regard to the handling of the child protection case but I can`t comment ..."
"Many people watching will say, well hang on a minute this guy is the Children`s Commissioner for Scotland, he`s writing articles in national newspapers condemning people for asking questions apropos to this case about the Named Person legislation and he hasn`t even bothered to find out what the facts are."
"I`m saying that it`s wrong for us to link the Named Person with instances of children who are well enmeshed in the system and whether there`s failings there or not. Now there are debates around Named Person whether it`s a good thing or a bad thing or not; but that`s quite separate from those children who are already identified where there are serious concerns and we`ll find from the significant case review as to where those failings actually took place in this instance."
Gordon Brewer pressed further: "The bottom line here is that the Named Person scheme is being piloted in places like the Highlands; it`s being piloted in Fife. If there was a Named Person in this case, even a Named Person but not in terms of the legislation as John Swinney put it, quite clearly it has not worked."
"But the Named Person as I said earlier is not meant to be dealing with those children who have already been identified; where there are serious concerns; where there could be a children`s plan around it; where there should be a number of different agencies. The Named Person is really that early point of contact."
"Again I accept your point that it might not be strictly relevant in terms of this case because this child was known to social services but the fact is what`s at stake here is a flagship policy of the Scottish Government and I fail to understand why first of all, you haven`t tried to find out what is actually happening here, and secondly why it`s simply not relevant to talk about the Named Person. I mean you describe people who`ve been talking about this as behaving unforgivably. What on earth do you mean?"
"In the first instance, it has to be left to the significant case review to establish the facts of the case. Now I also make that point in the article. The second one is that we know, and I repeat, the Named Person is not designed to try to assist those children where we already know there are very serious concerns; that there should be people working around the case who should actually have vigilance in terms of protection of that child."
"As the Children`s Commissioner, had you contacted Fife Council and said I want to know exactly what happened here, of course, quite rightly they would have said - and you would have agreed with them - no there`s a significant case review ... we can`t prejudge that. However, if as the Children`s Commissioner you had said: `look, one of the main issues coming up here is the Named Person legislation, can you just tell me what the situation was here? I`m not prejudging your review...was there a Named Person in this case ? Was it the full service? Or was it, as John Swinney says, a limited version of it, whatever that means?` But you don`t seem to have done either of these things."
In response, Tam Bail merely repeated the same arguments he had made already.
"The point I`m getting at," said Gordon Brewer "is lack of transparency. This is a flagship government scheme. Why can`t the government just say this is exactly what the situation was, and that`s that."
"... I think there`s been a lot of expectation placed on somehow Named Person being able to deal with all instances of concern around children and part of the reason I`ve written the article is that it`s just not the case. What it will do is it will flag up at an early stage..."
"I still don`t understand who`s behaving unforgivably by the way."
Tam Baillie seemed to suggest it was those people who had been linking the Named Person with the Liam Fee case.
"Last point: Some charities have claimed that the Named Person scheme, at least in the Highlands area has been a success... How are the public supposed to judge whether these pilot schemes are a success or not? How on earth can we know?"
"I think there is an issue about presentation about what the Named Person service is meant to do. It`s there as an early pick up."
"But how are we the public meant to judge if it is a success or not?"
"I think there is a presentation issue that the government needs to address in terms of presenting the expectations of the Named Person and what it will reasonably do. We have concerns about children who we don`t pick up early enough and problems then exacerbate. We get in early then we can actually assist children and families at that stage."
The interview begins about 59 minutes into the programme.

It`s a bit clearer why the publicity campaign to win over critics needs a lot more work.

Wales Carp Masters 2008
Following the success of last year's ground breaking event, we are delighted to announce the launch of the 2008 Wales Carp Masters. The grand final is again being staged at the superb Celtic Lakes Resort and takes place between 29th – 31st August.
There are 15 places available at each of 6 qualifying heats, all being staged at Celtic Lakes where last years qualifying produced some incredible winning weights, with the 40 hour Welsh carp match record broken twice, the second time with a hugely impressive 609lb. Expect more of the same in 2008!
Qualifying begins in May with the winning pair and the runners up in each heat winning through to the final.
The prize fund for the 2008 Wales Carp Masters has just been announced:
• First Prize: £10,000 worth of tackle vouchers
• Second Prize: £5,000 worth of tackle vouchers
• Third Prize: £3,000 worth of tackle vouchers
Many other prizes will also be on offer and will be announced shortly.
John Carney, heading the 2008 Wales Carp Masters team said:
"Celtic Lakes produced some unbelievable qualifying heats in 2007 and the final was an unqualified success in terms of promoting fishing in Wales and the sport of carp fishing as a whole. We fully expect the 2008 event to be even bigger and better and look forward to welcoming carp anglers to this fantastic venue and event".
