The spy who came in from the desert
This was published 10 years ago
Australians are about to get a glimpse of life inside Pine Gap, writes Dylan Welch.
By Dylan Welch
June 25, 2011 — 12.00am
There are many secret, inscrutable things in the vastness of the Australian outback, but few are so determinedly and actively unknown as the small technical encampment more than a dozen kilometres outside Alice Springs called Pine Gap.
For 41 years, the joint US-Australian intelligence facility - officially known as the Joint Defence Facility Pine Gap - has remained protected by a seemingly impenetrable wall of government secrecy.
Fear of the unknown ... Pine Gap has been the site of many protests since its opening.
But in 2008, and after 18 years of service, one of the men who worked there walked out of the desert and set about writing a book detailing his time at the super secret base.
What makes the effort so remarkable is that not only was the American-born electrical engineer-turned-technical spy David Rosenberg one of the longest-serving and most experienced officers at Pine Gap, he is also a 23-year veteran of the US's most secretive intelligence agency, the National Security Agency.
Protesters at Pine Gap.
''They will never let you write this book, let alone publish it,'' were the comments Rosenberg received from his colleagues.
Three years later, Rosenberg has proved them all wrong. Despite a long and frustrating struggle with the NSA - whose function is so secret it is jokingly referred to as No Such Agency - over the contents of the book, in several days a description of life inside one of the world's most secretive spy bases will be available for sale.
Titled Inside Pine Gap: The Spy Who Came in From the Desert, Rosenberg's book discusses the role of Pine Gap from 1990 to 2008, and it details his life and work across four Australian prime ministers, three American presidents, numerous wars in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia as well as the end of the Cold War and the 2001 terrorist attacks in the US.
Through all that, Rosenberg sat in a large dark room in the centre of Australia, watching and listening.
''We weren't publicised, our role was wasn't well known, and some of the stuff that we did at our facility and also what happens at other facilities was quite remarkable,'' Rosenberg says from his Sydney home. He became an Australian citizen after leaving Pine Gap and now works for a NSW government department.
He remains under a lifetime onus not to reveal classified details of his work, but he can say that he was trained as an analyst of ''ELINT'', or electronic intelligence.
''I was initially trained in the analysis of foreign radar emissions, electronic warfare, weapons testing methodologies for various military systems, and that included surface-to-air and ballistic missiles.''
When asked to describe what Pine Gap does, he points to a statement made by the former prime minister Bob Hawke in Parliament in 1988: ''Pine Gap is a satellite ground station, whose function is to collect intelligence data which supports the national security of both Australia and the US. Intelligence collected at Pine Gap contributes importantly to the verification of arms control and disarmament agreements.''
The chief role of Pine Gap is to monitor and report upon the existence and modification of weapons systems, particularly nuclear stockpiles and ballistic missiles, of countries of concern to the US and Australia. Via its satellites, Pine Gap absorbs a massive spectrum of communications, telemetry signals and radar emissions and funnels them to analysts on the operations floor for monitoring and examination.
For more than four decades it has played a vital role in the signals intelligence collection capability of Australia and the US. As Professor Des Ball, Australia's leading academic expert on the base, writes in his foreword to Rosenberg's book, ''Pine Gap is one of the largest, most important and most secret US intelligence collection stations in the world.''
Ball also describes being ''amazed'' that the NSA allowed Rosenberg to publish the book.
''He does not disclose technical detail … but he does relate a litany of activities that would previously have been regarded as being beyond 'top secret'.''
Ultimately, Ball writes, the book may have been allowed to be published because it is a ''great success story'' regarding the US-Australian partnership and the achievements its unassuming intelligence analysts have racked up since the base began operations in June 1970.
Rosenberg takes the reader into his first day inside Pine Gap's ''secure building'', past the entrance where a pair of Australian and US flags are displayed and into the open-plan operations floor.
''The entire operations floor was dimly lit as the analysts needed low light to help them see details on their computer monitors,'' Rosenberg writes. ''I saw signs above the various work areas indicating the type of activities being performed by these highly specialised operators.''
Later: ''For an operator/analyst, a day on the operations floor was a mix of the routine and the sometimes surprising … Depending on world events at the time, Pine Gap focused on various 'hot spots' of military interest.''
Rosenberg describes - sometimes in frustratingly scant detail - searching for weapons systems before and during both American wars in Iraq, scanning for rebel leaders in Somalia, intercepting Serbian leaders communications during the 1998 Kosovo conflict, monitoring North Korea's emergent nuclear facilities and even hunting for Osama bin Laden.
''Because of the level of secrecy at the NSA, it's very, very difficult for anyone to conceive of writing a book,'' Rosenberg says. ''It's something that I had to consider when I was writing, because I knew that a lot of what I was going to write would be taken out.''
He was right. After spending six months writing the book, he submitted his manuscript to the NSA's pre-publication review board in 2009, hopeful he would get a response within 30 days.
In the end, it took more than a year, although Rosenberg was ultimately surprised by the amount of sensitive information the board allowed him to retain.
Those expecting revelations of malicious government spying will find the book a disappointment, however, as Rosenberg remains a committed advocate of the role he says the spy base plays in securing the interests of Australia and the US.
''Australians share the load at Pine Gap, they share the leadership and the information and Australian security interests are certainly addressed at Pine Gap,'' he says.
''It's one of the things that helps keep the Australian and American partnership working as well as it does and Australians should be aware it's also there to help keep Australian citizens safe.''
Inside Pine Gap is published on Monday by Hardie Grant Books, $35.

Home Instead Supports Parkinson's Awareness Week
This week over 200 events have been organised across the UK as part of Parkinson's Awareness Week, the aim of which has been to help raise awareness of the urgent need to find a cure for Parkinson's.
Here in Gloucestershire a County Conference was organised by local representatives of Parkinson's UK, bringing together members and supporters of Parkinson's UK as well as health professionals and specialists in the field.
Owner of Home Instead covering Cheltenham and the Cotswolds, Amanda Hamer, was delighted to be able to show her support for Parkinson's UK and attend the event.
The main speaker of the day was Dr Paul Thomlinson, Clinical Research Fellow at Oxford University, who gave a fascinating insight into the 'Tracking Parkinson's' project which was launched nationally by Parkinson's UK on April 16th.
This will be the world's largest ever in-depth study of people with Parkinson's, involving thousands of people across the UK over a five-year period. As Dr Thomlinson explained, the aim of the study, which is funded by Parkinson's UK, is to speed up the search for a cure for Parkinson's by finding 'biomarkers'. These are samples of body tissue or body fluids which can potentially be used to mark the presence of disease. They can be used to diagnose a disease or monitor its progression.
At present there are no biomarkers for Parkinson's and this is a real barrier to developing new treatments for the condition. To achieve their ambitious aims for the project, UK researchers will study Parkinson's as it develops in greater detail than ever before.
In addition to the speakers, the conference also provided an opportunity to sample a range of practical workshops, from Tai Chi to drumming, and from singing to Conductive Education. All of these are considered to be beneficial to those with Parkinson's and the importance of exercise was a key message throughout the day.
The Parkinson's UK website at www.parkinsons.org.uk features lots of information for people with Parkinson's and their families, as well as more details about the 'Tracking Parkinson's' project (and taking part). The website also provides information about support available through Parkinson's UK across the South West and links to local branches in Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Cirencester/Stroud.

Jeremiah does not specifically use the term "plumb line" here, but in verse 8, he uses "line," meaning a measuring line: "He has stretched out a line." It is a similar image. When a workman lays down concrete or puts up posts for a fence, he stretches out a line to make sure that his work meets the measurements for that particular project. God has done this as well. He has stretched out a line, and the implication is that, in this case, the daughter of Zion has crossed it! So He said, "That's it!" and He did all these terrible things that Lamentations speaks of. God destroyed the wall, made the people suffer lack and degradation, etc.
In destroying the wall—taking away the people's source of protection—He will determine who trusts Him and who does not. He will see who will stick by Him and His way of life and who will not. When the wall is destroyed, people and their characterss are exposed. Then God will see just where they stand—on which side of the line: on His side or on the other side.
Verse 9 mentions scattering: "Her king and her princes are among the nations." It also speaks of disregard of His law: "The Law is no more." He writes also, "Her prophets find no vision from the LORD," meaning there is a disconnect between God's people and God Himself. They are not getting the instruction they need.

When and where will Eurovision 2020 be held? Our theories as Amsterdam drops out of race
Emma KellyFriday 5 Jul 2019 2:59 pm
The contest will be held in Netherlands after Duncan's win (Picture: Getty Images Europe)
The 2020 Eurovision Song Contest will be taking place in the Netherlands after Duncan Laurence's win with his song Arcade – but exactly when and where is still up in the air.
Amsterdam – considered to be the favourite city to host the contest – has officially pulled out of the running, leaving five cities bidding to be the host city.
The remaining candidates have until 10 July 2019 to submit their proposals, with the host city expected to be confirmed in August, while the contest date will be confirmed around the same time.
But when and where will you be celebrating Eurovision 2020 if you choose to go? Here are our theories.
Where will Eurovision 2020 be held?
Nine Dutch cities initially put themselves forward for the job of hosting the Eurovision Song Contest after Duncan Laurence's win in May – Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Den Bosch, The Hague, Leeuwarden, Breda, Arnhem and Maastricht.
However, The Hague, Leeuwarden and Breda previously opted out, while Amsterdam dropped out due to the Ziggo Dome – the most likely venue for the contest – being unavailable.
Mayor of Amsterdam Femke Halsema said: 'The main reason for Amsterdam's withdrawal is a message from the Ziggo Dome stating that the venue will not be available in the relevant period next year due to bookings and reservations that cannot be cancelled.
'The RAI Amsterdam and the Johan Cruyff Arena are also not available and the AFAS Live Music Room would not be large enough to host the event.
'Amsterdam wishes Rotterdam, Utrecht, Den Bosch, Arnhem and Maastricht every success in the preparation of their bidbook.'
The Rotterdam Ahoy fits the EBU's requirements (Picture: Ahoy)
Considering Amsterdam was the hot favourite to win the bid, this has thrown the race wide open – but we reckon Rotterdam will come out on top.
The Province of South Holland (Zuid Holland) announced it would contribute €1million to Rotterdam if it wins its bid to hold the contest – while Utrecht's hopes of hosting were pretty much dashed as its municipality does not wish to invest in the competition.
They won't have much of an issue in hosting, as the 15,000 capacity Rotterdam Ahoy – which meets all the conditions set by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) – has been blocked for the required eight week period from 2-16 May.
Rotterdam City Councillor Said Kasmi said: 'The fact that Amsterdam is no longer in the race, increases Rotterdam's chances and is very beneficial. Given the appearance, the experience in organising large events, it all falls into place.

'Everyone is talking about Rotterdam's Eurovision bid today, but the Municipal Council will meet on Tuesday when they are set to make a final decision on whether we will actually send our bidbook to Hilversum the following day.'
Rotterdam's strongest competitor in the bidding race is Maastricht, but at the moment, Rotterdam is the clear favourite.
And Eurovision enthusiasts agree, as hotel prices in the city for the rumoured Eurovision week have rocketed – while 3,000 rooms for the delegations, accredited media and the Eurovision production team have been block-booked as part of their bid.
When will Eurovision 2020 take place?
We all know that Eurovision takes place in May, but the actual dates have yet to be decided.
However, a number of events and holidays in the Netherlands make it likely that the semi-finals and grand final will take place on 12, 14 and 16 May.
Liberation Day on 5 May, a Tuesday, rules out that week, while the Grand Prix Formula 1 in Zandvoort is expected to be held in the first fortnight of May.
Throw in some European football matches, and all arrows are pointing towards the 16 May as the Eurovision grand final date.
The 2019 contest was held in Tel Aviv on the 14, 16 and 18 May.

    $this->_acl = new Model_HotelsAcl;
    $this->_auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();

    Zend_Debug::dump($this->_auth);

    $fc = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
    $fc->registerPlugin(new Plugin_AccessCheck($this->_acl, $this->_auth));

    return $modeLoader;
}

When I load the page, I receive the following error:
Uncaught exception 'Zend_Acl_Exception' with message 'Resource 'authentication' not found'

I cannot find my error...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Otterbein University's Registrar's office responds to student frustrations over class scheduling
Three-credit-hour model causes problems in Otterbein's scheduling system
After scheduling for the 2019 spring semester, many Otterbein students have complained about the difficulties of scheduling under the new three-credit-hour model.
Problems include pages failing to load in Otterbein's Self-Service Banner, students' degree audits not accurately reflecting academic progress, overlapping of classes, and minimal offerings of class sections.
Michael Wright, a sophomore nursing major, risked losing seats in several other classes by choosing to add a different, more important class to his schedule. He also said he could have had less issues if the system had recognized him as a junior, rather than a sophomore.
"This is my third year at Otterbein, but I only have 58 credits, so I'm recognized as a sophomore," said Wright. "I had to wait another day to add classes. It's bullshit."
Mariella Briones, a junior public health education major and psychology minor, said she had so many issues with her schedule, she had to take a summer semester at Columbus State Community College.
Briones said she tried to fit a night class in her schedule to be make room for a public health class. However, the professor removed already-seated students to reserve seats for other students, causing Briones to change much of her schedule.
Briones originally had her psychology minor completed, but now said she has to take another class, which wasn't introduced until after the switch to the three-credit-hour model.
"I talked to my advisor, and he said I had to take one more class, so I might end up having to take it at Columbus State over the summer because I have no room [in the spring]," said Briones.
David Schneider, who works at the registrar's office, talked about changes in this semester's scheduling, and how to better accommodate students in the future.
"From where I sit, the semester is not vastly different," said Schneider. "Class times are a little bit shorter, and students are expected to take one to two more courses per semester than they had in the previous four-credit model. The part that helps is that because classes are shorter, there are more sections offered to accommodate students."
Schneider said some INST classes had long waitlists and that there is still work for the registrar's office to do.
"As a university, we need to do a better job of spreading out sections," said Schneider. "Classes that have sections offered at 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. need to be viable options, rather than cramming everything into the 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. window."
Schneider said the registrar has made an investment in DegreeWorks, which will eventually replace Banner options and make them easier Students could be using the portal as soon as fall of 2019.

Just wiped her down with some bar keepers friend. The glass had some very hard water stains. Got em off in one passing.
Looks beautiful! I love the rock formation. Your harlequins look gorgeous btw!
Thanks. I wanted to try marimo moss ball. They look super cool. I'm gonna trim it when it grows a bit more and start attaching them to the drift wood.
Just want to make sure you are aware that the floating ball is not a Marimo Ball but Java Moss wrapped around a foam ball.
Thanks! Beautiful aquarium and thanks for sharing the photos with us! Nice job!
My shipment of plants should be coming in today.
I have three other tanks to spread the unused plants to. But this tank has the best lighting so I wanna heavily plant this one.
I was going to ask where you got them... then I read your info.. Your Backyard! Wow. If you weren't in HI I think I might as to buy some from you but shipping from HI has to be rediculous!
Your tank is gorgeous. Love where and how you placed your rocks.
Weight on shipping would be a killer though.


Dubai, UAE, April 10, 2019: While technology hasn't always been so much of a focus for construction as it has been for other industries, what it has made way for is cost reduction through the introduction of new materials and processes, allowing for greater value engineering and deeming projects far more economical, especially in the face of potential economic downturn. Because human intervention still plays a key role in operational strategy for construction companies, reliance on technology has not been as imperative as we might observe in other sectors, and the advancements we have seen in construction have been comparatively gradual.
Yet as with all growth, continual technological developments in other sectors filter down for adaptation within the construction sector, allowing for the development of more efficient processes that best serve the industry's needs.
An example of such technology is contour crafting, which is a concept of 3D printing that has been expanded into construction and has paved the way for better efficiencies in the development of low-cost housing. Software developments have also been instrumental to ongoing success, moving away from drafting by hand to the use of AutoCAD, and more recently, Building Information Modelling (BIM), making processes cheaper, faster, and higher in quality in terms of construction.
The Middle East itself is a region greatly leveraging technological advancements in the construction industry and over the past two decades has set the scene for possibly some of the world's greatest construction stories. Erecting the world's tallest building to some of the largest and most complex infrastructural airport, museum, and shopping mall designs, the region has continued to push the boundaries of construction. Such feats have inadvertently lead to related technological advancements geared towards engineering marvels and project management for complex structures and programmes.
So how can construction companies around the world adopt the technologies they need to increase productivity, in much the same way renowned Dubai-based companies have done? And how can the industry, which has a reputation for being slow to adopt technologies, attract tech-savvy workers, or train the ones they do have? The answer lies beyond robotics and automated building processes.
Cutting edge technologies such as BIM implementation and LEED designs are just a couple applications used at Teraciel Group within key projects. The main focus is to integrate operations through a robust and comprehensive ERP System, in order to manage the supply chain and project overall. These robust platforms integrate all aspects of construction across the project life cycle, allowing companies to coordinate at a much greater level, reducing conflicts in terms of design as well as potential delays, whilst shortening project completion and improving overall quality.
In addition to this, green building technology has become one of the hottest trends in construction and no longer a new concept to land on the agenda. As a depth of research has confirmed, the benefits of a green technology application in construction are far-reaching and comprehensive, offering significant advantages when used in new facilities as well as existing structures. Green technology makes buildings more energy-efficient and sustainable, so they have a lower carbon footprint and a reduced impact on the environment. Builders, building owners, and tenants all realize considerable benefits from the application of green construction technology. In new buildings, green building construction plays a role in every phase of development. Every aspect of the structure, including siting, design, construction materials, and the systems used to run and maintain operations are chosen to be as sustainable and energy-efficient as possible.
Technology is not guaranteed to make the future easier. The resolution of long-standing industry issues – from payment delays to skills shortages – will take more than a piece of software. But it is undeniable that digitisation provides a clear path to much-needed construction resource optimisation and greener solutions. Business leaders must accept and embrace technology to strive forward in tomorrow's market.


Current issue includes 14 publications written by media scholars from 6 different Russian cities and one foreign university.
The issue was published in 2014 by the Non-Commercial Partnership "National Association of Mass Media Researchers" in cooperation with the Faculty of Journalism, Lomonosov Moscow State University.

It was Canadian sociologist Marshall McLuhan who seems to have been first in introducing the frameworks of the theory of media globalization. However, since then (the early 1960s) there have been many discussions about the effects of this process, which continue to this day due to numerous contractions that arise in the course of modern information transformation. Following the agenda of the international conference "Media Readings 2013" held at the MGU's Faculty of Journalism, the author tends to carefully discover the pros and cons of different approaches to the theory of media globalization and its consequences for modern national societies. The analysis is based on numerous scientific investigations concerning the current situation. Diverse scholarly approaches confirm that technological breakthroughs currently taking place, which seem to be productive for fruitful national developments, are likely to increase confrontations between countries because of the great imbalances that have already appeared in these relationships. Therefore, the McLuhan's concept still provokes discursiveness and can be applicable to different trends in the humanities.

The article presents early insights from an ongoing study of the respective musical cultures of young audiences in Stockholm and Moscow. The 3-year research project "Music in the Digital Age" is conducted by a research group at Södertörn University, Sweden and financed by The Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation. The crosscultural study focuses on the impact of the Internet on music in everyday life. This article presents the first results from the Russian segment of the study: we look into how the growing Internet access affects the patterns of music-related practices in Russia.
Kazakov, A. (2014). Setting the Agenda: A View of Western Communication Scholars. World of Media. Yearbook of Russian Media and Journalism Studies, 60-74.
The term, "agenda", quite common in modern political communication studies, was coined in the United States. Nowadays, different aspects of agenda setting attract the attention of scholars from all over the world, including Russia. Paying tribute to those Russian researchers who contributed to the exploration of this phenomenon, we deem it necessary to place emphasis on the way agenda is analyzed in Western (mostly Anglo-Saxon) communication studies. Main trends and tendencies of agenda studies by European and American scholars are considered in this article. Similarities and differences between agenda setting and priming, on the one hand, and framing, on the other hand, are analyzed. Special attention is accorded to the patterns of different types of agenda-setting, i.e. political, media, and public, as well as to the correlation between "agenda setting" and "agenda building". The media agendas effects on international relations, which are attracting attention abroad, are also addressed. Twenty-five of the most cited articles about various aspects of an agenda from the database Web of Science contributed to the empirical basis of this paper.
Key words: media agenda; agenda setting; agenda building; framing; priming; evaluative tone.

Korkonosenko, S. (2014). Mediapolis as a New Reality and Complex Research Project. World of Media. Yearbook of Russian Media and Journalism Studies, 106-127.
The article represents modern media, cultural and social realities in the context of the Mediapolis. European theorists, Roger Silverstone in particular, proposed this effective concept. In essence, it reflects the formation of a new environment for the individual, society, and for their media life. The Mediapolis represents a specific analogue of the real city taken in its media hypostasis. In the article behavior is considered as everyday practices of the individual. Taken together, different aspects of media life comprise the content of the research project "The Modern Russian Media-polis", the main directions of which are described in the essay.

Kokkonen, E. Forms of Conflict Discourse as a Reflection of Conflict Dynamics: Peculiarities of Regional Media. World of Media. Yearbook of Russian Media and Journalism Studies, 147-159.
From the perspective of discoursive psychology, discourse is "the primary arena for human action, understanding and intersubjectivity" (Potter,2012: 114). Conflict discourse as it appears in media texts refers to the descriptions of situations and psychological states that play an important role in the formation of particular actions, and the tactics disputants use to criticize other parties' moves and position themselves for accountability. The Novgorodian media (newspapers and e-papers) are enclosed within the information field of the region and reflect changing situations within its frame through different forms of conflict discourse. It presupposes that descriptions of the situation change as the situation alters under the influence of participants involved in confrontation. Thus the media bring into focus and fix parties' positions, their motives, their conflict interaction as it develops, and their conflict resolution (termination) if it happens; they influence to some extent the trajectory of a developing situation.
Key words: conflict discourse; conflict dynamics; regional media; forms of conflict discourse; language peculiarities of the conflict discourse forms.
Pilgun, M. (2014). Communicative Behavior Types of New Media Users. World of Media. Yearbook of Russian Media and Journalism Studies, 160-180.
This article analyzes the most common user communicative behavior models in the Russian-speaking new media. The method of coordinated management of meaning (CMM, by B. Pearce and V. Cronen) serves as the methodological basis for this research. As part of the research plan, a 500 respondent survey was conducted. The survey results highlight the most actively used blogging services and makes it possible to analyze 135 blogs (27 of each type) and to identify five Russian blogosphere communication models. The study finds that the dominant communicative strategy of current web space is dialogical.
Key words: new media; blogosphere; communicative behavior.

Vartanova, E., Lukina, M. (2014). New Competences for Future Journalists: Russian Journalism Education Executives Evaluate Industrial Demand. World of Media. Yearbook of Russian Media and Journalism Studies, 209-232.
The article provides results and analysis of the survey of how journalism educators as main stakeholders in Russian journalism education evaluate the current situation in the area of high professional education. The survey also focuses on what decisions on curriculum priorities they make, what revisions in education programs they plan according to new requirements of the Russian media industry, and what competences are being envisaged for the future media practitioners. The article presents results of the national survey of Russian JE (Journalism Education) executives – deans, directors and heads of different schools /chairs/institutions which provide journalism training in a wide range of educational structures from universities to academic chairs. Geography of the study covers journalism education all over the country – from the enclave Kaliningrad in the Western part of Russian to the Siberia and the Far East region. The study showed that while journalism basic courses are still at the core of the education programs, digital professional competences and tech savvy skills, due to their innovative nature and attractiveness to employers, predominate in modern journalism training. We also revealed that there exists a common understanding of the need for further developments of JE towards cross-platform and networking programs.

Anikina, M. (2014). Journalism as a Profession in the First Decades of the 21st Century: the Russian Context. World of Media. Yearbook of Russian Media and Journalism Studies, 233-251.
The new century poses a wide range of research questions and defines new approaches for research, which deal with the specifics of journalism as a field of professional activity, with the characteristics of the professional journalistic community and with the peculiar features of its representatives. The rapid development of the diverse spheres of everyday life leads to a larger scope for research, a formation of new thematic streams and a redefinition of the methodological approaches in studies of professional journalistic culture. This article analyzes journalism as a profession in contemporary Russia. Such an approach will try to fit within the existing sociologic frames. This article is focused on the skills and competencies of modern Russian journalists, their freedom and professional autonomy, and covers the issues of responsibility and ethics of service. The empirical basis of the presented article is constructed with data from an international research project titled "Journalism in change – professional journalistic cultures in Russia, Poland and Sweden" initiated by Södertörn University (Sweden), granted by the Baltic Foundation in Sweden and realized by scholars from Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia), Södertörn University (Sweden) and Wroclaw University (Poland) in 2011-2014.

Mansurova, V. (2014). Intellectual Journalism vs Copy-Paste Journalism. World of Media. Yearbook of Russian Media and Journalism Studies, 252-264.
"Journalism of facts" gives its place to journalism of ideas. The excess of information in global communication systems leads to the necessity for "protocols of access to meanings" of informational messages. Intellectual journalism is the answer to this demand since it has the necessary potential to create a socially important world view and to accept digital technology challenges associated with the production and broadcasting of information in a social medium. "Personological turn" in the field of mass communication is the revival of journalism in a new social status to represent the basic life values of society.
Key words: crisis of journalism; informational rationality; media person (homo mediatus); intersubjective communication; ethical standard; is-ought problem ("Hume's Principle").

This article presents the results of a complex analysis of the multimedia content of U.S. and Russian media outlets. The research aims to distinguish specific features of multimedia stories as a new type of media text. The results of the research point to the fact that multimedia, as a special technique for presenting information, can be used in various genres. The author challenges the myth that multimedia cannot be used in the creation of analytical journalistic materials.
Key words: multimedia journalism; multimedia text; polyphony of reality; multimodality of perception.

Facebook takes aim at Snapchat with new Slingshot app
The app is geared toward photo and video sharing with larger groups of people
Zach Miners (IDG News Service)
Facebook's Slingshot app for photo and video sharing.
Facebook has launched a new photo- and video-sharing app called Slingshot that's aimed squarely at popular cool-kid Snapchat.
Slingshot lets users take photos and videos that disappear in the app after they've been viewed and swiped away. Facebook is starting to roll it out Tuesday in the U.S. for iOS and Android.
Slingshot works a bit differently than Snapchat. It lets people send photo and video messages that disappear after a certain period of time. But unlike Snapchat, Slingshot requires the recipient to "sling" something back before they can view what they've been sent.
"With Slingshot, we wanted to build something where everybody is a creator and nobody is just a spectator," Facebook said in its announcement.
"Friends won't be able to see your shot until they sling something back to you. They can then reply with a reaction--or simply swipe your shot away," Facebook says.
That could make Facebook's app more interactive, but it could also turn users off who don't want to send a messages just to see what they've received.
Slingshot users have to provide their mobile number when they sign up for the app. The app checks their phone contacts to see which of their friends are using Slingshot, so they can send messages to them or invite them to join, according to the privacy policy.
Facebook is taking direct aim at Snapchat, even calling the company out in its announcement. "We've enjoyed using Snapchat to send each other ephemeral messages and expect there to be a variety of apps that explore this new way of sharing," it said.
Snapchat has been a bit of an annoyance to Facebook. Last year, the social network reportedly offered US$3 billion to buy Snapchat but it turned them down.
In 2012 Facebook launched Poke, an alternative to Snapchat, but it never took off the way Snapchat did.
Slingshot could provide a fun, new way for Facebook users to message each other. But could also be too little, too late. Time will tell.
Snapchat released a new tool of its own on Tuesday for sharing photos with larger groups of people, geared toward public events. It was unclear of the timing was a coincidence.

Pumping iron not only pumps up your muscles, it also builds bone strength, burns calories, reduces the risk of heart disease and protects against cognitive decline. Despite the massive benefits, an effective strength-training workout doesn't have to take up a lot of time.
Doing just 11 repetitions (or one set) of a single exercise was as effective for building strength and endurance as doing 5 sets, according to a new study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. Men in the low volume resistance training group who performed just one set of squats or bench presses spent less than 15 minutes on their strength-training routine but experienced similar results.
Matt Minard, physical therapist and certified strength and conditioning coach, explains that high-intensity interval training for resistance exercises (HIIT-RE), which involves alternating between high intensity and active recovery with minimal-to-no rest creates oxygen deprivation, causing your body to burn calories at rest.
The American Council on Exercise (ACE) sponsored research to determine whether HIIT-RE provided similar results to a conventional strength-training program. Lead researcher Lance Dalleck, PhD, associate professor of exercise and sport science at Western Colorado University found 20 minutes of HIIT-RE was at least as effective — and sometimes more effective — than strength training workouts that took twice as long.
The ACE research showed the results were best with five repetitions of maximum weight — the highest amount of weight each individual could lift five times with proper form. In other words, the definition of high-intensity has a lot of individual variation.
To get the most out of a HIIT strength-training workout, find out what high intensity means to you; as your strength builds, you'll need to adjust the maximum weight to ensure the workout remains challenging. Minard suggests thinking of exertion on a 1–10 scale; high intensity is best when you feel like you're working out in the 7–8 range: You should only be able to get a word or two out between breaths, Minard says.
While emerging research shows HIIT-RE is effective, don't try to get too much of a good thing, Dalleck advises, adding, "More isn't better." His research shows 2–3 days per week of HIIT resistance training is more than enough to see results.
The next time you're tempted to skip the gym or bail after a 30-minute sweat session on the treadmill, reconsider. "A short strength-training workout can raise your heart rate more than typical strength training with long rest breaks and lower intensity levels," Minard says.

Basic password guidance can dramatically improve account security, study shows
Research comes at a time when the global cyber security threat is continuing to rise with accounts constantly at risk of attack
Password security is now more important than ever (Credit: designer491, Getty Images)
Technology users should be offered more detailed support and guidance when creating account passwords in order to make them more secure and harder to crack, a study suggests.
Research led by the University of Plymouth found those who receive basic guidance including password meters were up to 40 per cent more likely to make their choices secure.
However, those given feedback such as how likely it was that hackers could guess their passwords – and therefore access private information held in their accounts – were up to 10 times more likely to change their original choice to something more secure.
The research was conducted by the University Centre for Security, Communications and Network Research (CSCAN), in conjunction the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University and the Department of Computer Sciences at Purdue University.
Published in Computers & Security, it comes at a time when the global cyber security threat is continuing to rise with accounts held by individuals and organisations constantly at risk of attack.
Steve Furnell, Professor of Information Security and the Director of CSCAN, said:
"Over the past few years, numerous cyberattacks and security incidents have demonstrated that protecting personal and professional assets is no longer an optional duty. Yet many still occur out of unintentional mistakes such as negligence, carelessness, and human errors. Despite the advance in security technology, the weakest link in the information security realm still lies in end-users so it is essential that more support is offered to try and overcome this in the future."
The research focused on two experiments designed to investigate how variations in password meter usage and feedback can positively affect resulting password choices.
In one experiment, 300 users creating an internet account were offered either none or a range of advice including a standard password meter, emojis or an emotive feedback message. The results showed the number of choices rated 'weak' falling from 75 per cent, where users received no guidance, to around a third when they were shown more emotive messages.
For the second, 500 participants in the United States were presented with more specific security-related advice, including suggestions of how long it would take a hacker to crack their password. Those users had a significantly greater understanding of the risks, and created passwords that were longer and up to 10 times stronger as a result.
As part of the study, researchers also demonstrated that several leading sites – including Facebook, Twitter and Amazon – continue to permit weak passwords practice, allowing combinations of the user's first name and surname, a string of numbers such as '1234567890' and the word 'password' respectively.
Professor Furnell added:
"If this lack of provision is apparent with market-leading sites, it is unlikely that users are being better served in other contexts, and it potentially goes some way to explaining why bad practices persist. A common weakness in the provision of security is that while relevant features are present and available to be employed, users are often expected to use them with little upfront guidance, or ongoing support. It is therefore hardly surprising to find that users' resulting behaviours are often explicitly insecure.
"These findings provide a lesson not only for passwords, but for end-user security in general, as the combination of effective guidance and enforcement gives users the chance to understand and buy into security right from the start."
The research paper – Enhancing security behaviour by supporting the user by Furnell et al – is published in Computers & Security, DOI: 10.1016/j.cose.2018.01.016.
Five top tips to securing your passwords
H Longer and more diverse passwords (using upper and lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation symbols) are more resistant to being cracked by automated tools
H Avoid basing passwords on personal information that others know about you (or could get), or on dictionary words (which cracking tools test by default)
H Do not use the same password across multiple accounts and services, because the compromise of your password in one place would then put the others at risk
H If you need to write something down to help you remember, then try to write a (non-obvious) reminder or hint that means something to you, rather than the password itself, and store it in a safe place
H Give particular attention to the password that protects your email account – as this is where the password reset/recovery links for other services are typically sent

Stopping temporary message signs from being cluttered with adverts and distracting logos.
The taskforce forms part of the government's ongoing work to make roads safer and navigation easier for motorists, scrap unnecessary red tape, and declutter roads.
Mr Mcloughlin said: "Useless traffic signs blight our landscape, waste taxpayers' cash and can be a dangerous distraction to drivers.
Research carried out by the Department for Transport (DfT) in 2013 to inform the Traffic Signs Policy Review (PDF, 1500KB) showed that the number of traffic signs has doubled in the last 20 years. The taskforce will make practical suggestions for removing clutter and ask whether some signs can be removed altogether. It will also look at what can be done to change the culture within local authorities to reduce signing and consider the factors that lead to sign clutter.
Britain is renowned for having one of the best traffic signing systems in the world but the 2002 legislation that underpins it is now widely viewed as out of date, meaning some signs are either confusing, redundant, or both.
To enable local authorities to make a difference without having to wait for new regulation, DfT has already relaxed requirements for design and placing of some signs, and new robust advice has been published to helped local authorities declutter roads.
The taskforce will start work soon and present its recommendations to government by December 2015. The consultation will close on 6 October 2015 and DfT will respond in due course.


The reshuffle will see Didi — which owns Uber's China business — knit three key platforms into a new overarching Ride-hailing Business Group (RBG). The merger of Express, Premier and Luxe, its car-hailing offerings in ascending order of quality and rates, comes just a few months after Didi rebranded and upgraded Premium, one of its fastest-growing segments.
The plan includes an upgrade in customer services, driver safety and emergency responses. Defects in the last area have led to one of the passenger incidents, in which a female passenger failed to contact Didi for help.
Aside from addressing safety concerns, Didi is adding fresh growth engines through the reshuffle. The Automobile Solutions Platform will launch consisting of Didi's Asset Management Center and Xiaoju Automobile Solutions. The newly minted group is set to explore retail opportunities, and sells a flurry of existing services, including car sales, loans, car maintenance and refueling, to Didi's 31 million drivers.
Lastly, Didi is upping the ante in cabs and bringing shared bicycles, electric bikes and other public transportation solutions under one umbrella in a bid to serve China's masses. The car-hailing titan will also smooth internal coordination by forming two new units — the Finance and Operations department and the Legal department.

Oil, enamel, canvas
68 x 105,5 cm (h x w)
Signed: Lower right "Emil Filla 32"
From the expert opinion of PhDr. Rea Michalová Ph.D.: "The presented painting "Still Life with a Black Guitar and Fruit" is an original, gallery quality, exquisitely cubist work of Emil Filla, whose artistic talent, strong intellectual foundation and respectable literacy have made him a truly unique cultural a personality of his time, endowed with a special fluid of seriousness and prominence. In his paintings, drawings, graphics and sculptures, he valued the discoveries of Cubism, which he updated with new theoretical studies and developed in many distinctive modifications, releasing the synthetic Cubist vocabulary into more organic, often libidinous forms. The time, when the assessed painting was created, it belonged to an extremely happy period, which can be described as one of the peaks of Filla's creative and life forces. In 1932, the painter turned fifty years old, and he addressed his round jubilee with a generously conceived collective exhibition in Prague's Mánes, which included approx. 360 works from the years 1902-1932, although the catalog only lists works up to 1931. Among the paintings that presented the author's creative direction up to the latest date and were added to the exhibition was the presented, artistically extremely strong and for the painter the most representative "Still Life with a Black Guitar and Fruit". "Still Life with a Black Guitar and Fruit" stylistically falls into the period of late organic cubism, when, in Filla's view, the painting becomes a "lush riot" of colors and forms that wedge into each other and complement each other harmoniously. The presented work is a wonderful proof of exactly that. In a visually very pleasant and representative format, there is an ingenious balancing of tendencies towards sensual hedonism and a well-thought-out construction of the image field."

This release will be available to purchase soon!
"Unauthorized" was the first of the "Syracuse only" releases. And was a huge success in the Syracuse area outselling new releases by Bruce Springsteen and Elton John. The record was recorded with musicians from Joe Jacksons band. Contained the hits "How Could You Love Me" and "Heart In My Hand". Legend has it that the record was named "Unauthorized" because Benny did not want it to be released. Most of the songs on this record deal with Benny's fight to kick his addiction to heroin. The record was released by BT Recordings which was owned by Syracuse area concert promoters.

If your children go mad for all things Hogwarts, heading to London with kids is the ultimate way to have a hands-on Harry Potter experience. Here you will find the official studio tour, you can sleep in a wizard's chamber, you can participate in unofficial trivia walks of London with kids and you can even set foot on Platform 9¾. Here is the suitcases&strollers travel guide to London with kids, Harry Potter style.
The ultimate wishlist Harry Potter experience in London is, of course, the Warner Bros Studio Tour London The Making of Harry Potter tour. The tours run right next to where the films were actually produced and boast many of the original props, sets and costumes used in the movies. You can walk across the Great Hall, see Diagon Alley, ride a flying broomstick (it's best for little girls to wear pants and not skirts or dresses for this one) and taste some real Butterbeer.
Tickets for the attraction are limited and sold on a time slot basis, so pre-plan and book in advance. It is best to arrive in the mornings because it can be quite crowded in the afternoon as families linger inside. The attraction is not stroller friendly so bring your baby carrier with you (you can check your travel stroller into the cloakroom). You should also bring your own food (you can have a picnic at the outdoor backlot) if you want to avoid the lunchtime queues.
If your kids are old enough to do a walking tour, book in with Muggle Tours who host two-and-a-half hour tours that start near London Bridge station and end at Leicester Square. The tour takes you around many of the London landmarks you might recognise from the films including the entrance to the Ministry of Magic and 12 Grimmauld Place. This is a fun and engaging way to encourage exploring the streets of London with kids while minimising the likelihood of children complaining (the company recommends children should be aged over 7 because of the volume of walking involved – babies are not welcome on the tour). You need to bring a train ticket as a tube ride is involved and the tours depart in all weather conditions so dress appropriately.
Don't miss out stories! SUBSCRIBE here.
The tour does not take visitors to the famous Platform 9¾ to see the departure point of the Hogwarts Express; to see that head to Kings Cross train station where there is a special site set up to pose for funny photos and you can visit the souvenir store.
Then spend the night dreaming you are at Hogwarts at the new Wizard Chambers at the Georgian House. Set in the basement of the hotel, these Gothic-style rooms have all the fine details to transport little wizards into fantasy land including four poster beds, cauldrons and dungeon-like sliding doors.
The space can be a little crowded but if you are particularly after an all-encompassing Harry Potter accommodation in London with kids, this is worthwhile.


UPDATE- Maine game wardens located John Marsh from West Gardner Monday morning, "alive and well."
He was found driving alone on Route 201 north of Jackman.
Wardens were looking for information regarding the 76-year old West Gardiner man after he didn't return home after a fishing trip.
Marsh reportedly had plans to go fishing north of Jackman, off the Kelly Pond Road in the Duncan Pond region.
Game wardens are working to determine why Marsh was overdue from returning home from a fishing trip yesterday.

Study: Squid are masters of disguise
U.S. marine scientists say squid are masters of disguise, using their pigmented skin cells to camouflage themselves nearly instantaneously from predators.
Researchers at the Marine Biological Laboratory say squid can also produce polarized skin patterns by regulating the iridescence of their skin, possibly creating a "hidden communication channel" visible only to animals that are sensitive to polarized light.
Researchers Lydia Mathger and Roger Hanlon say they found the polarized aspect of the skin of the longfin inshore squid, Loligo pealeii, is maintained after passing through the pigment cells responsible for camouflage.
While the notion that a few animals produce polarized signals and use them in communication is not new, Mathger and Hanlon's findings present the first anatomical evidence for a "hidden communication channel" that can remain masked by typical camouflage patterns.
The say their findings suggest it might be possible for squid to send concealed polarized signals to one other while remaining camouflaged to fish or mammalian predators, most of which do not have the ability to recognize polarized light.
The research appears in the journal Biology Letters.

Q: Find n where $GCD(a_{n}, 14) = 7$ The question was:

*

*Find $n$ where $GCD(a_{n}, 14) = 7$ where $n$ is natural if you knew that $a_{n} = n + 3$
The book solved it by saying that means $a_{n}$ is a multiple of $7$ but not $14$ so $a_{n} = 7a$ and by putting it in the equation
$GCD(7a, 14) = 7$ means $GCD(a,2) = 1$ which means $a = 2k + 1$ and by putting it in $a_{n}$ we find that n = 14a + 4$
The first, I understand that because if it was a multiple of 14 then we would take $14$ as the $GCD$ not $7$
What I didn't understand is that what putting $a_{n} = 7a$ has anything to do with not being a multiple of 14? 14 can be written as $7(2)$ which means $a_{n}$ can be clearly a multiple of 14 too.

A: The proof is incorrect / incomplete since it gives only a necessary condition for $n$ to be a solution. To fix it you either need to check that the candidate $n$ works or else verify that all inferences are actually bidirectional (see here for more on the insufficiency of unidirectional inferences). Let's do the proof with bidirectional inferences, which will answer your question along the way.
First, $7$ is a common divisor of $\,n+3\,$ and $\,14,\,$ thus a divisor of $\,n+3,\,$ i.e. $\,\color{#0a0}{7\mid n+3},\,$ Using this and $\, 7x = (7y,7z)\color{#c00}\iff x = (y,z)\,$ by  $\rm\color{#c00}{GDL}$ = gcd distributive law we have
$$\begin{align} 7 = (n+3,14) &\iff \ \ \color{#0a0}{7\mid n+3}\ \ \ \ \ \&\ \ \ 7 = (n+3,\ \ 14)\\[.1em]
&\iff n=4+7k\ \ \ \&\ \ \ 7 = (7+7k,\:\!14)\\[.1em]
&\color{#c00}\iff n=4+7k\ \ \ \&\ \ \ 1 = (1+k,\ 2)\ \ \ \rm by\ \color{#c00}{GDL}\\[.1em]
&\iff n=4+7k\ \ \ \&\ \ \ k = 2j\\[.1em]
&\iff n = 4+7(2j)
\end{align}\qquad$$

A: The argument you quote that $GCD(7a, 14) = 7$ means the same as  $GCD(a, 2) = 1$ and therefore $a=2k+1$ is correct.
You therefore know that $$n+3=7a=7(2k+1)=14k+7.$$
Then $n=14k+4$, as required

And some classy classical as well
by Brett Campbell
Back in the '60s, Michael Doucet was playing in a rock band in Lafayette when he heard the great British folk rockers Fairport Convention play their arrangement of an ancient English ballad. If young Brit rockers could look to their roots for inspiration, the young fiddler reasoned, why couldn't the son of Louisiana's Cajuns (descendants of the French Acadian settlers expelled from Canada by the English) do the same thing? A few years later, Doucet obtained an NEA grant that enabled him to find the old folks who still remembered the old tunes, and he formed a band with some of the area's greatest musicians. Since the 1970s, BeauSoleil has brought the plaintive, swinging sound of Cajun music to a national audience, winning acclaim, Grammys and other awards and new audiences for this irresistible American music. More than just preservationists, like most other creative artists, they've also stirred in influences from other genres — rock, country, blues, jazz, even Calypso — and their new album, Alligator Purse, continues that trend, melding old-time Cajun tunes with avant garde jazz (via guest trombonist Roswell Rudd), folk (John Sebastian), rock (Band organist Garth Hudson), bluegrass and more. BeauSoleil has been a frequent and welcome visitor to the Shedd, and they're back again Thursday, Oct. 1.
On Wednesday, Oct. 7, the Shedd hosts a very different kind of fiddler. For the past decade or so, Regina Carter has been one of the relatively rare jazzers who plays violin, following in the bow strokes of Stephane Grappelli, Ray Nance, Joe Venuti and a few others. She'll play music from her new album, I'll Be Seeing You, and from her earlier tribute to Paganini, which should interest fans of classical as well as jazz music.
On Saturday, the Shedd hosts the resurgent singer-songwriter Chris Smither, long an underground fave for his scintillating live shows and bluesy, well-crafted originals, and who finally reached mainstream acclaim with his smart, catchy 2006 Leave the Light On album. Smither brings his appealingly rumpled voice, wise perspective on American life and songs from his brand new album, Time Stands Still.
Amid that Shedd-load of action, don't overlook some other attractive shows. At the UO's Beall Hall, the university's venerable chamber music series, now with the hipped-up new moniker ChamberMusic@Beall, opens Sunday, Oct. 4, with one of classical music's oldest acts: the Czech Nonet, which for eight decades has been bringing the music of eastern and central Europe to the world. Its size allows the ensemble to perform a richly scored repertoire rarely heard live. With British guest pianist Richard Ormrod, they'll play music by Lutoslawski, Martinu, Mucha, Janacek and Roussel.
Speaking of chamber music, the new resident company at Springfield's Wildish Theater, Chamber Music Amici, opens its first full season Monday, Oct. 12, with one of the gems of small group sounds: Mozart's glittering Clarinet Quintet, plus Prokofiev's Overture on Hebrew Themes. The hour-long show features some of the area's top players: violinists Pilar Bradshaw and Sharon Schuman, pianist Victor Steinhardt, clarinetist Michael Anderson, violist Fritz Gearhart and cellist Andrew Kolb.
If your chamber music tastes run to sounds blown rather than bowed, check the Oregon Wind Quintet's Oct. 8 Beall concert. Composed of UO music faculty (flutist Molly Barth, oboist Amy Goeser Kolb, clarinetist Wayne Bennett, hornist Lydia Van Dreel and bassoonist Steve Vacchi, augmented by soprano Laura Decher Wayte and pianists Alexandre Dossin and David Riley), the ensemble plays contemporary music by still-breathing composers John Harbison (an aria called Song for the Rainy Season, which will probably jinx our weather) and Paul Basler, plus a sextet by 19th century composer Ludwig Thuille.
Still another chamber concert features music from 17th century Italy. Early Italian Baroque music is gradually finding its way onto CDs and concert programs and opening ears to the beauty of Italy's pre-Vivaldi repertoire. Oregon is lucky to have a corps of historically informed musicians that specializes in this too rarely heard music, and five of them (Bryce Peltier on recorder, Hideki Yamaya on theorbo, archlute, and Baroque guitar, Julia Brown on harpsichord and organ, Joanna Blendulf on Baroque cello and baritone Aaron Cain), performing as Ensemble Sprezzatura, will play works by composers including Marini, Castello and Cima, at 7 pm October 11, at First United Methodist Church, 13th and Olive.
For more improvised sounds, the groovy electronic duo EOTO (a String Cheese off-shoot) plays the McDonald Theater on Oct. 2. World music fans can check out the WOW Hall's Oct. 2 concert with the African/rock hybrid Toubab Krewe, and local world guitar great Paul Prince opening.

If five beach bums tried to surf their way to the classic California rock sound (The Doors, The Byrds, etc.) but instead got lost in a cloud of pot smoke and found themselves at a goth house party, you would end up with something like The Growlers. The Growlers are from Orange County; they like a little reverb on their guitars; there's a little bit of dark soul in their sound; and they do look and act baked much of the time, but that's where the similarities to those other bands end.
