A day after an under-construction flyover collapsed in the city leaving at least 24 dead, the police on Friday night arrested three top officials of a Hyderabad based company which was building the flyover and slapped murder charges on them.
The 10 IVRCL detainees include a few engineers, managers and vice-president of the construction company, a Kolkata police official said.
"We are questioning them to find out what went wrong before the flyover collapsed. Strict action will be taken against them," the officer said, adding that a police team has reached Hyderabad to meet the top bosses of the company.
The state government on Friday suspended two engineers of the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority who were involved in the construction of the flyover.
Agencies engaged in rescue work said that there was a possibilty of a person being trapped inside a truck which is still under a girder.
Armymen along with police, disaster management team, NDRF and fire brigade personnel engaged in rescue work throughout the night, pulled out three more bodies from under the rubble of concrete, a police officer said on Friday.
About a 60-metre-long stretch of the 2.2 km flyover under construction crashed down on Thursday afternoon on a congested road intersection in Kolkata.
A day after an official of IVRCL dubbed the flyover collapse as an "act of God", IVRCL's legal team head P Sita said, "It is an accident". She also did not rule out sabotage.
Showing a photograph of the mishap site published in a newspaper, she said that it looked like a site of bomb blast. There were various aspects which should be looked into.
Sita also said, "...100 per cent no issues with regard to quality. It is the same material, as was used to construct the 59 sections earlier with approval, with which the 60th section (which collapsed) was built ... Unfortunately it collapsed."
The West Bengal government has already ordered a high-level probe into the incident that triggered a blame game with the Opposition accusing the Mamata Banerjee government of callousness.
Trinamool Congress and the BJP were engaged in a slanging match after Union Minister M A Naqvi accused the state government of "criminal negligence" in relief work, which the TMC described as "cheap politics".
Naqvi, Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, said that the TMC government showed "criminal negligence" in ensuring relief work and engaging in a "competition on corruption" with the previous Left Front government which resulted in the flyover collapse.
TMC national spokesperson Derek O' Brien termed Naqvi's statements as "cheap politics" in the election season.
"Just saw a BJP Minister's statement. Reeks of cheap politics in election season. Army came at state's request. Army belongs to nation, not the BJP," Brien said.
Naqvi also reiterated the party's demand for a CBI probe into the collapse.
Meanwhile, a senior police officer said, "The main road crossing near Ganesh Talkies would hopefully be cleared by Saturday. But the rest like the iron piers, iron pillars, broken concrete parts will be cleared in a step-by-step process."
KMDA had entered into a joint venture with IVRCL for constructing the 2.2-km-long Vivekananda Road flyover in north Kolkata.
Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd has been assigned the task of removing the collapsed spans on Kali Krishna Tagore Road, the statement from state secretariat said.
The statement said 62 families in neighbouring houses have been requested to vacate their premises temporarily to enable the safe removal of the collapsed span.

UPDATE at 1:40 p.m. on Thursday, June 18
A day after the Bureau of Land Management said that there was no timetable for reopening Fishermen's Bend Recreation Site, the agency reversed course and said it would reopen day-use facilities on Friday.
The popular site east of Salem will reopen its boat ramp, hiking trails and picnic areas, but will keep closed its campground and playground for now, officials said.
The abrupt about-face came as Marion County was approved to move into phase 2 reopening by Oregon Gov. Kate Brown.
Officials warned that the park could be crowded and to make sure and exercise social distancing.
ORIGINAL STORY
Across Oregon generally, and in the Santiam Canyon in particular, just about all outdoor recreation facilities have reopened from COVID-19 closures that swept the state in March.
State parks and country parks, trailheads and boat ramps, and even a large collection of campgrounds have reopened entirely or for day-use.
But east of Salem, there is one major park that hasn't reopened at all, and it's causing increasing frustration for fishing guides, outfitters and river-runners as summer kicks into high gear.
Fishermen's Bend Recreation Site, a crucial hub and access point on the North Santiam River, hasn't reopened or set a date for opening, even as every other river access park and point on the stream has restored access.
And that's a problem, because Fishermen's Bend is the main link between two fairly different runs on a section of river floated by thousands of people, primarily when the weather gets warm. Its boat ramp is a critical take-out spot for raft and fishing trips that begin at Packsaddle Park and run challenging Class III rapids. It's also the beginning for a slightly easier but still fun Class II+ run to Mehama boat ramp.
Without it, there's a number of logistical and business problems, locals said.
The Bureau of Land Management, which manages the site, said there was no timeline for reopening.
In an emailed statement, BLM said they were seeking to keep staff and volunteers safe while prioritizing sites that are "operationally ready, appropriately staffed, and provide opportunities for social distancing."
"We plan to open Fishermen's Bend, the largest, highest visitation site on District, once we're able to show that we can safely and effectively manage our less developed sites to best meet public needs and keep our staff safe," BLM said.
They did not explain why they couldn't reopen the boat ramp and trails, while keeping the campground closed for the moment, as neighboring sites have.
"The lack of access to the boat ramp at Fishermen's Bend will have a negative impact on my fishing guide service this summer," said Mike Ferris, a fishing guide on the North Santiam. "Without it, my access to about 10 miles is severely limited. I would normally expect about half my business to be on those sections of river during June, July and August. That's a big hit."
Just as frustrating for locals is the fact that Fishermen's Bend is the lone holdout in the network of North Santiam parks and boat ramps from Salem to Detroit Lake.

The largest campground in the region, Detroit Lake State Recreation Area, is open. So are many Forest Service campgrounds and all recreation sites. Every other boat ramp is open. Even guided trips on the river have been given the green light, as it becomes clear that the novel coronavirus typically spreads largely indoors, and not in outdoor environments where particles are typically dispersed more quickly, health experts have said.
"The reality is that people are a lot safer being outdoors and recreating than being indoors," said Sam Drevo, owner of eNRG Kayaking, which runs raft and kayak trips on the Santiam. "It seems silly they're not encouraging people to get out, having education about distancing and allowing use of at least of some parts of the park.
"It's a critical access point for people using boat trailers, " Drevo said. "It's unfortunate"

The situation illustrates the problems with having multiple land management agencies running sites in the same area during a pandemic.
There are six different agencies that manage recreation sites in the Santiam Canyon, and four different agencies managing sites on the North Santiam. That makes it hard to have a cohesive system, even though the public generally doesn't know the difference.
On this stretch of the North Santiam, for example, Packsaddle Boat Ramp is managed by Marion County; North Santiam State Recreation Site is managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. Both were closed during late March, April and early May, but reopened by June.
Meanwhile, Mehama and Stayton boat ramps, managed by the respective cities with help from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, never closed during the pandemic.
Locals have had trouble understanding the reason for the closure.
"The camp hosts and maintenance crews have been there and prepared to open for at least the last month," said Lee Harrington, who lives in Mill City and often rides his bike through the park, which is open to local foot and bike traffic. "All the roads, trails and blowdown has been cleared."

BLM said they'd let people know when the park might open, but didn't have any outline at this point.
What boat access on the North Santiam is open, closed?
Jefferson Boat ramp: open
Green's Bridge: Open, but seasonal gate limiting drive-in access closed as it normally is this time of year
Buell-Miller County Park: open
Stayton boat ramp: open
Mehama boat ramp: open
John Neal boat ramp: open
North Santiam State Recreation Area: open
Fishermen's Bend: closed
Mill City access: open
Packsaddle Park: open
BLM also keeps Elkhorn Valley closed, while Gorge and others parks shuttered
Fishermen's Bend is not the only site closed in Oregon, however.
In the Little North Santiam Canyon, BLM has also kept Elkhorn Valley Recreation Site closed.
"Elkhorn Valley is tentatively scheduled to open later this month in an effort to provide public access within the Little North Fork corridor while also gauging overall public response and program readiness prior to making further decisions about Fishermen's Bend," the BLM said.
Beyond the Salem area, the most popular sites in the Columbia River Gorge near Multnomah Falls have remained closed.
"For the Gorge, it's a combination of staffing shortage and the need for a better plan in cooperation with the Forest Service to manage congestion before it can be re-opened," OPRD spokesman Chris Havel said. "Busier parks, plus interagency planning means more time is needed."
Some large state parks, including Cape Blanco, won't reopen this summer, because the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is facing a $22 million shortfall and couldn't afford to hire 400 seasonal staffers.
More:Oregon State Parks face $22 million shortfall, planning layoffs, reduced services
"Cape Blanco isn't just a matter of lack of staff to prep the park, but lack of staff to actually operate it, so it will probably remain closed all summer," Havel said.
While the Forest Service has opened many of its campgrounds, some will remain closed into July as teams get them ready for use.

I'd like to continue the "New York notes" that I started in the last issue.
1. New York Bridges
The FiveBoro Tour crossed about five bridges. Most of the big bridges in New York are suspension bridges — the Brooklyn Bridge, the Verrazano Bridge, the George Washington Bridge, etc. Perhaps the first suspension bridges were rope bridges slung across ravines by the natives of Tibet or Peru. Such a bridge would tend to sag in the middle ("suspension" comes from the Latin pendere, to hang down). But what if the bridge's deck, or roadway, were held up not by sagging horizontal ropes, but by a second set of ropes — by vertical ropes hanging down from the horizontal ropes? If the vertical ropes were all the same length, they would perpetuate the sag in the middle, but if the vertical ropes in the middle were shorter, they would correct the sag. This is the basic principle of a suspension bridge.
If the horizontal ropes/cables are suspended from tall towers, the bridge will be high above the water, allowing ships to pass beneath. The most conspicuous feature of suspension bridges are their tall towers (usually two in number), and the design of these towers allows the tourist to identify the bridge. The towers of the Brooklyn Bridge have two Gothic pointed arches (the Brooklyn Bridge was begun in 1870, when the Gothic style was popular).
Also characteristic of the Brooklyn Bridge are the massive, solid bases of its towers.
The Manhattan Bridge, begun in 1901, has one pointed arch in each of its towers:
The Verrazano Bridge, begun in 1959, has tall, slender towers, with one rounded arch:
The Verrazano Bridge has a span of about 1300 m, as compared to just 500 m for the Brooklyn Bridge. The Verrazano Bridge is so long that it's affected by the curvature of the earth: "Because of the height of the towers (211 m) and their distance apart (1,298 m), the curvature of the Earth's surface had to be taken into account when designing the bridge — the towers are 1 5/8 inches farther apart at their tops than at their bases."1
The Triboro Bridge (East River section), begun in 1929, has slender towers with no arches at all:
Suspension bridges can handle long spans. For shorter spans, a "cable-stayed bridge" is sometimes used. In a cable-stayed bridge, the roadway is supported by cables tied directly to one or more towers; it doesn't have the hanging/sagging character of a suspension bridge.2 An example of a cable-stayed bridge is Boston's Bunker Hill Bridge, begun around 1995:
Here's another example of a cable-stayed bridge:
the Langkawi Sky Bridge, a pedestrian bridge in Malaysia
For even shorter spans, a cantilever bridge might be used. A cantilever bridge isn't supported by cables from above, but by piers from below.
The Queensboro Bridge, begun in 1901, is a cantilever bridge, perhaps because it doesn't need to span the entire East River, like the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge, it only needs to reach Roosevelt Island. Or to put it another way, Roosevelt Island makes it possible for the Queensboro Bridge to have more piers, and a shorter span. Or to put it still another way, if Roosevelt Island weren't there, the Queensboro Bridge would probably be a suspension bridge, with fewer piers and a longer span.
The Queensboro Bridge circa 1908
Several bridges over the Harlem River are arch bridges, such as these three:
From nearest to farthest: the High Bridge, the Alexander Hamilton Bridge (part of I-95), and the Washington Bridge
On the High Bridge's east side (Bronx side), the old Roman-style arch bridge, begun in 1837, can still be seen.
This old section was part of the Croton Aqueduct, which brought water from the Croton River to New York City, a distance of 41 miles. This aqueduct is now a trail/park. The Friends of the Croton Aqueduct organizes walks. A group called NYC H2O also organizes water-related walks.
While suspension bridges have a downward arc, a sag, arch bridges have an upward arc, a rise.
The Konitsa Bridge over the Aoos River in northern Greece, built in 1870. The roadway is just two meters wide.
Some of Europe's old bridges are arch bridges, such as the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, built in 1345:
While the Ponte Vecchio has three arches (three spans), the Rialto Bridge in Venice (begun in 1588) has only one arch:
Boston's Longfellow Bridge has eleven arches:
An arch bridge like the Longfellow Bridge has its roadway on top of its arches. On the other hand, a Through Arch Bridge has its roadway through the lower part of its arch, and much of its arch is above the roadway. An example of a Through Arch Bridge is New York's Hell Gate Bridge:
The Hell Gate Bridge, looking southwest toward Manhattan. On the right is Wards Island, on the left is Astoria Park in Queens. Behind the Hell Gate Bridge is the Triboro Bridge (East River span).
Hell Gate Bridge was a model for the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
Perhaps the best introduction to bridges — their history and their engineering — is David Macaulay's short documentary, Building Big: Bridges. The Building Big series includes documentaries on tunnels, skyscrapers, dams, and domes, as well as bridges. The documentaries are based on Macaulay's book, Building Big.
Someone started a blog devoted to New York bridges. It's called "The Bridges of NYC: An Urban Odyssey," and the motto is "There are 2,027 bridges in NYC. I'm trying to find all of them. And then cross all of them." The blog gets data from nycroads.com.
If you want to learn more about New York bridges, consider The Great Bridge, David McCullough's book about the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. If you're interested in New York skyscrapers, visit this website, and consider reading Skyscraper: The Making of a Building, by Karl Sabbagh.3 John Tauranac has written several books about New York and its skyscrapers. Charles Lockwood is the author of Bricks and Brownstone: The New York Row House, 1783-1929. The architecture of many New York buildings is discussed in The AIA Guide to New York City (AIA = American Institute of Architects). There's even a website that attempts to describe every building on every street in the southern half of Manhattan (south of 59th Street). And there's a website that attempts to draw every building in New York. (New York seems to attract obsessive types, people who want to put their arms around its immensity, who want to know it from top to bottom.) The AIA hosts a boat trip around Manhattan, with architecture commentary.
There's a mnemonic device to help remember the names of New York bridges: BMW — Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg is the sequence of bridges, moving from south to north. There's also a mnemonic device to help remember Manhattan streets: Ladies Prefer Men (when travelling west) — Lexington, Park, Madison.

2. Since the Brooklyn Bridge has some cables running directly from towers to roadway, it's technically a hybrid of Suspension Bridge and Cable-Stayed Bridge. back
3. This book was made into a documentary, but the documentary isn't easy to find. According to Wikipedia, "The building of One Worldwide Plaza [on 8th Ave. and 49th Street] was documented in a Channel 4 / PBS mini-series and a companion book Skyscraper: The Making of a Building by Karl Sabbagh." back

So, you're in the South Island of new Zealand and want to check out Milford Sound? Sweet, I don't blame you! If you're looking at getting the most out of your visit and coming home with some great photos, here's a few things to keep in mind for your trip to the '8th wonder of the world'.
Fortunately, you don't have to worry too much about getting lost when driving to Milford, as there's only one road in and out. Traveling the Milford Road (SH94) is my favourite drive in the world and basically commences from Te Anau, where I now live. There's an abundance of vistas and scenery to check out along the way and for that reason you should really allow more time than the estimated 2 hours. Do yourself a favour and leave after breakfast so you can take your time all day.
A map and some of the common highlights are below. Keep in mind that this road has many narrow sections with a an elevation gain reaching almost 1km. The weather can change incredibly fast from one valley to the next and there's plenty of other tourists on the road who are also driving in unfamiliar conditions. Take it slow and be safe! The car park for Milford is signed at the end of the road on your left had side. Te information centre, small cafe and public restrooms are across the road from the car park.
Out of the 14 Fiords in Fiordland, Milford Sound is the only accessible by road. For this reason, it's the most popular location in the entire National Park, however this doesn't mean that there's not an abundance of equally and if not more impressive places to explore down in this rugged part of the world, even just off the side of the road on the way to Milford itself.
Allowing yourself extra travel time to stop and explore will truly heighten your experience and appreciation for this beautiful and rugged part of the world. From a photographic perspective, adapting and reacting to the conditions at hand can and will yield some beautiful results, particularly in the rain when thousands of waterfalls begin to flow from high peaks.
Driftwood, reflective pools and mossy boulders make great foreground interest. Please tread carefully out here as it's a fragile environment. The tide also moves in noticeably fast.
Hang around – Milford works best as a sunset location. Thankfully most tourists have left by then as they head back to Queenstown on the bus.
Expect it and don't be put off by the rain – through dozens of visits and running my workshops, without a doubt Milford Sound and Fiordland is the most spectacular during heave rainfall. The atmosphere and innumerable waterfalls are unlike anywhere else in the world. Less photos are taken on the blue sky days.
Most importantly, the best coffee is found at the Milford Lodge which is another 400m back down the Milford Road. You would have passed the entry driveway on your way in. This is also the only option for accomodation.
If you can, I strongly suggest doing one of the 'Nature Cruises' which a number of operators offer. Most of these are the same but I've found Go Orange to be one of the best priced and they also have food included. This is a great way to get a completely different perspective on Milford and will really help you appreciate the grand scale of the mountains here and the power of the glaciers that once carved them. It's also fun going beneath some of the waterfalls and spotting some of the wildlife, including seals and occasionally dolphins.
Of course, if you'd like a personal tour and have everything taken care of for you so you're at the right place at the best time, I'm based in Te Anau and offer workshops in Fiordland year round. Just contact me for details. Some of my work at Milford and greater Fiordland can be viewed below.
Thanks for the post William. I'll be coming to NZ next April and was thinking about renting a 7m RV. Do you think it would be possible to drive that to Millford and other areas like Lindis Pass, Moeraki boulders, Mt Cook Lake and Wanaka Tree. I'm worried that the roads might be too narrow or there are low clearances. Thanks so much for your help on this.

Dairymaid cuts wastage by 41% through Wonderware Upgrade
Commonly known as 'The Smile Maker', Dairymaid's ice cream has been a favourite in many South African households for the past three decades. Keeping the factory running and ensuring the quality of the ice cream remains at an exemplary level, is critical to the brand's reputation.
PCS Global was the first choice to upgrade the Clayville, Gauteng factory's control system. Wonder Phakathi, Control Systems Engineer at PCS Global explains: "Two years ago Dairymaid contacted us on Christmas Eve with a downtime problem on their production line. We assisted them and the problem was quickly resolved. This resulted in PCS subsequently providing them with a consulting service and, during a complete audit of their system, we identified a number of key risk areas that were affecting their productivity."
The existing system at the Dairymaid production facility had a number of issues which needed to be addressed to ensure minimised downtime and enhanced productivity. Phakathi says that the outdated Wonderware system licences posed a risk as they were based on an old, legacy operating system which was no longer supported by Microsoft. In addition, a number of redundant licences were not being used.
"Lack of centralisation of systems was another pressing problem. Outdated infrastructure and non-user friendly interfaces meant the was not only was the system unstable, but it was also difficult to use to isolate problems efficiently. This ultimately led to losses, so in order to ensure that the company was not plagued by unnecessary downtime, we needed to upgrade the system," says Phakathi.
The upgrade process firstly entailed a complete restructuring of the control systems architecture. The primary intention was to eliminate standalone systems and create a centralised data repository. The firmware and the hardware were both outdated, making the system cumbersome and ineffective. The look and feel of the SCADA was updated and optimised to make it easy for the operators to fault find.
"The Wonderware packages were in fact two versions older than current firmware models, leading to minimal support available for them as far as the vendor is concerned. Similarly, the hardware was of outdated version going back to 2008, making it extremely slow and prone to excessive downtime," says Phakathi.
According to Phakathi, the biggest challenge PCS faced was in retrieving the data from the legacy system. "We encountered a large number of corrupted data backups, so it took us much longer than expected to update the system. In addition, we had to perform the upgrades while production was underway, in order to further minimise downtime. The project was a learning curve for all and has highlighted the problems encountered when regular firmware, software and hardware updates are not performed."
PCS upgraded the control system to a virtualised server which allocates functions according to the new architecture. The development environment, which includes Wonderware System Platform and Historian both 2017 version , were all centralised for ease of management and control.
The project started in April 2019 and commissioning and handover began in early November. "We have added on further elements as the project evolved and we are currently still working with the Dairymaid team to ensure that the system is optimised. The expanded system is now completely stabilised with added functionality and a reduction in downtime of a very admirable 41%. The project was rapidly and efficiently deployed resulting in a ROI within 2 months. The success of this project has resulted in Dairymaid's management initiating audits on other areas within their operations and the cost savings they have realised from the reduced downtime is now being allocated to further optimisation," says Phakathi.
PCS Global provided training on the new system and provided the operators with an SOP manual and insights on how to leverage the benefits of mobile apps to provide a further, remote level of monitoring and control. The new system is highly intuitive, making it easy to navigate and produce beneficial reports. Phakathi says that the feedback that PCS has received is that the site coordinator and operators is now more inclined to use the software, resulting in a more productive environment.

A surgery-free prosthetic retina restores vision in blind mice and raises the prospects for something similar in people.
Scientists have built a new type of prosthetic retina that could someday restore detailed sight to the millions of people who've lost their vision to retinal disease.
Line of sight: A new technique allows researchers to take a grayscale image (top left), encode it (top right), and transmit it to the brain with far less loss in fidelity (bottom left) than the standard method allows (bottom right).
Neuroscientist Sheila Nirenberg, of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, and postdoctoral student Chethan Pandarinath have enabled blind mice to see nearly normal images of everything from human and animal faces to complex panoramas of Central Park.
Artificial retinas already exist. But they require surgery to implant an array of electrodes deep into the eye. The electrodes stimulate cells that transmit information to the brain, and must be powered by an external battery. They are capable of restoring crude vision, allowing patients to pick up only major contrasts and edges, such as a light object against a dark background. But Nirenberg's research, which was presented this week at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego, enables still and moving images to be conveyed more cleanly and rapidly than ever before possible. And the method doesn't require surgery.
In mammals' eyes, a set of cells in the retina detects light, and then a separate layer of cells, called ganglion cells, relays that information to the brain. Because macular degeneration and other retinal diseases cause the light-detecting cells to die but leave the ganglion cells intact, researchers have been trying for 50 years to decipher their code—the patterns by which the ganglion cells fire—so as to capitalize on the eye's natural circuitry. Nirenberg has now nailed that, or at least a close approximation. After 10 years of work, she knows the relationship between what we see and how that translates into ganglion-cell firing patterns.
After deciphering the retina's code, Nirenberg wanted to deliver it to the brain in a way that was more precise than was possible using existing electrode technology. For this, she and her colleagues turned to optogenetics, a recently developed technique that infuses neurons with light-sensitive proteins from blue-green algae, causing them to fire when exposed to light.
The researchers used mice that were genetically engineered to express one of these proteins, channelrhodopsin, in their ganglion cells. Then, they presented the mice with an image that had been translated into a grid of 6,000 pulsing lights. Each light communicated with a single ganglion cell, and each pulse of light caused its corresponding cell to fire, thus transmitting the encoded image along to the brain. "Right now, you can't get individual cells to fire using electrodes. With channelrhodopsin, you can target individual ganglion cells," Nirenberg says.
In humans, such a setup would require a pair of high-tech spectacles, embedded in which would be a tiny camera, an encoder chip to translate images from the camera into the retinal code, and a miniature array of thousands of lights. When each light pulsed, it would trigger a channelrhodopsin-laden ganglion cell. Surgery would no longer be required to implant an electron array deep into the eye, although some form of gene therapy would be required in order for patients to express channelrhodopsin in their retinas. Nirenberg and Pandarinath have begun collaborating with a specialist in retinal gene therapy, University of Florida ophthalmologist William Hauswirth.

Montreal pilots mental health service for youths
MONTREAL – The University of Montreal Hospital Research Centre (CRCHUM) and Strata Health Solutions will conduct a pilot aiming to improve direct access to public mental health services for young people and empowering them in the initial consultation process.
In Canada, 75% of youth aged 11 to 25 with mental health problems do not have access to the services they need. "They often face excessive wait times and complex pathways to services, which discourage young people from taking the steps needed for receiving appropriate assessment and care," said Shalini Lal, a researcher at CRCHUM and professor at the University of Montreal.
Given that one in five people will be affected by mental illness during their lifetime and that most mental illnesses occur before the age of 25, young people are particularly vulnerable. "New technologies can be useful to ensure that their initial access to care experience is positive," said Lal. "If young people are greeted by an answering machine or have to explain to several people why they are consulting, it can increase their psychological distress and discourage them from seeking the help they need."
To tackle this problem, Lal will oversee the development and evaluation of an innovative self-referral strategy to improve direct and rapid access to youth mental health services using online technologies.
"Young people can complete a referral form themselves on a secure platform. The form will be integrated with an electronic referral management system which will help a clinician triage requests and give appointments for consultations in person, by phone, live chat, or video conference, depending on the youth's preferred mode of communication. We believe the use of new technologies will facilitate access to care and empower young people to undertake the initial process of consultation themselves," Lal explained.
As a key partner in the project, Strata Health Solutions, will deliver the technology components of the solution – the self-referral form, the e-referral management system, the secure platform, and other supporting health technologies. "We are pleased to work with Shalini Lal and her team on this research project to collectively contribute to improving access to mental health for our youth and better understand the clinical and economic outcomes of these self-referrals" said Peter Smith, EVP, Strata Health Solutions. "Strata Health Solutions is committed to provide $720,000 of in kind contributions to make this project work, knowing this will further innovate and improve our product value offer to our customers."
The project is funded by the Canadian government through a $750,000 grant over four years from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research as part of the eHealth Innovations Partnership Program. The Graham Boeckh Foundation is also investing $325,000, bringing the total funding to $1.075 million.
The eHealth Solution will be tested in six sites in Canada: CLSC Dorval-Lachine (Montréal, Québec), CLSC Parc-Extension (Montréal, Québec), Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (Chatham, Ontario), Alberta Health Services and CASA (Edmonton, Alberta), Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay (Eeyou Istchee Cree Territory, Québec), and Eskasoni Mental Health & Social Work Services (Mi'kmmaw Eskasoni First Nation, Nova Scotia).
These sites are participating members of ACCESS Open Minds, a pan-Canadian, 200-member network of youth, families, service providers, researchers, decision makers, and community organizations.
Shalini Lal, PhD., is a researcher at CRCHUM, professor at the University of Montreal, and principal investigator of the project, "An Integrated Self-Referral eHealth Strategy for Improving Rapid and Direct Access to Youth Mental Health Services: A Stepped-Wedge, Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial in Six Canadian Healthcare Settings," funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Graham Boeckh Foundation. The other project partners are the company Strata Health Solutions, the ACCESS Open Minds network, the organization Kids Help Phone, the Children and Youth in Challenging Contexts (CYCC) Network, and the organization mindyourmind.

International Development: Article databases
These databases - mostly bibliographic rather than fulltext - will identify the journal article literature on aspects of international development, as well as books, book chapters, and other material. They may cover gray literature - technical reports, project reports, conference papers, and other informally published materials. Most of these databases will link to fulltext through the PennText Article Finder.
Good First-stop Article Databases
These databases identify articles published in particular disciplines. You may need to use PennText to search for the article online or in print, or to request it from another library.
Just look for the PennText icon after the results from your database search:
A wideranging bibliographic database on human and physical geography. Incorporates International Development Abstracts, covering agriculture and rural development; environment and development; industrial policy; social policies such as health, housing, and education; health, demography; gender and culture; aid, international relations and politics.
HINT! To restrict your GEOBASE searching to International Development Abstracts, add this classification code string to your "expert search":
((74*) WN CL)
• GEOBASE Classification Codes (PDF)
1910-present. Covers the research and development literature on agriculture, forestry, human health and nutrition, animal health, and natural resource conservation and management. Produced by CABI, formerly Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux - so especially strong on former British colonies. Includes WAERSA (World Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology Abstracts).
HINT! Use this search string to restrict your results to WAERSA:
(0r or 2r or xr).ss.
HINT! CABICODES are classification codes that serve as "chapter titles" for big chunks of CAB Abstracts. They're handy for quickly pulling out a bunch of articles on a general topic, if you're interested in a country. Use the .cc. field code to search CABICODES:
(nn700 OR pp600 OR xx*).cc. for pollution and waste management
• CABICODES Classification Codes (PDF)
IBSS - International Bibliography of the Social Sciences
1951-present. Bibliographic citations and subject indexing for the international journal article and book literature in anthropology, economics, political science, and sociology.
Sociological Abstracts's mainstream sociology, demography, and social psychology coverage has absorbed the ceased Social Services Abstracts database covering social policy, social welfare, and social work .
Covers contemporary public policy issues worldwide, 1915-present. Indexes articles, books, government documents, and grey literature. "Contemporary" = Indexed articles will address topics relevant to the time they were written.
Historical Abstracts
Historical coverage of the world from 1450 to the present (excluding the United States and Canada). Try your country as a subject term; if you have too many results to sort through, try adding "health" as a keyword. For U.S. and Canadian history, search HistAbs' counterpart, America, History & Life.
HINT! HistAbs advanced search page offers searching by date as subject.
Anthropology PLUS
Two research library catalogues with journal article indexing included, covering anthropology, ethnography, and archaeology from the mid-19th century to today. Difficult to use, as the Tozzer Library and the Library of the Royal Anthropological Institute use different subject headings and the database offers no de-duplication.
HST - History of Science, Technology, and Medicine
International bibliography on the history of science, prehistory to present. Try searching with your country name as either subject term or keyword.
Multidisciplinary and regional article databases
Multidisciplinary and regional databases are powerful tools for finding articles. HOWEVER, it can be difficult to determine the disciplinary focus of an article you find. Don't assume that an article is in a particular discipline until you check with an expert.
African Studies Centre, Leiden, Catalogue
Much bigger and more important than you'd think from the title! The Leiden ASC library supports a major research center on African political economy, and its catalogue describes journal articles - NOT like Franklin. BEWARE! Don't use the "ASC Link" buttons to request materials - instead DO USE Franklin and PennText to find materials you identify in the Leiden catalogue.
Handbook of Latin American Studies
1936-present. Produced by the Library of Congress as a "selective" annotated bibliography covering anthropology (including archaeology, ethnohistory and ethnology), art, economics, geography, government and politics, history, international relations, literature, music, philosophy, and sociology.
Bibliography of Asian Studies
1971-present. Covers western-language scholarly works on East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
Although primarily focused on scholarly works on Islam and its adherents, Index Islamicus includes broad coverage of countries in which Islam is practiced.

Covers labor related topics, including employment, labor relations, labor law, working conditions, women workers, child labor, migrant workers, and economic and social rights.
EconPapers
Working papers - in many cases, the preliminary versions of scholarly articles - are the lifeblood of academic economics. EconPapers and SSRN together provide fulltext for economics working papers. EconPapers is a much larger repository, offers more powerful searching, and seems particularly strong on European contributors.
Health Specific Article Databases
Global Health consists of more than 800,000 records from 1910 on, covering public health, tropical and communicable diseases, nutrition, more. Produced by CABI, so it shares many features with CAB Abstracts.
HINT! Global Health busy? Try MEDLINE
Bibliographic citations with subject indexing and abstracts for the scholarly literature in population studies, family planning, and related subjects.
WHO Regional Index Medici
Regional sections of WHO produce Index Medici in order to give access to health literature published in or related to those specific regions. The WHO African regional office's contribution is: African Index Medicus (AIM)

Google's Chromecast has surprising use
By Dave Johnson
July 31, 2013 / 1:52 PM / MoneyWatch
(MoneyWatch) By now, you've almost certainly heard of Google's Chromecast, an inexpensive wireless transmitter that connects almost any device to the HDMI port on your television or monitor. Designed as an entertainment device, Chromecast streams content like Netflix and YouTube -- as long as it appears in a Chrome browser, you can watch it on the big screen.
That sounds great for home entertainment, but as Tom Bradley points out in PC World, the Chromecast also has some surprising potential as a business tool.
Making your smartphone battery last longer
Defending cameras from the smartphone revolution
A pocket-sized charger for all of your mobile devices
If you're not familiar with this new gadget, here's how it works in a nutshell. It's about the size of a typical USB memory gadget and plugs into your display's HDMI port. Any Chrome-capable device can connect to it wirelessly, which includes phones, tablets and laptops. Anything you see in a Chrome browser can be displayed on the screen. But Chromecast doesn't stream video from your device to the TV -- instead, it grabs that content from the Internet cloud.
As a consequence, you can use Chromecast not just to watch movies from Netflix, but also to display documents from Google Drive, as well as Gmail and other online apps and services. You can even display native Microsoft documents by converting them to HTML or by opening them in Office Web Apps in Chrome.
Is this the most comprehensive solution for projecting business documents on the big screen? No, clearly not -- an ordinary projector is a more comprehensive solution because it can display anything and isn't beholden to Chrome. But Chromecast is portable, easy to use, and costs just $35, which is less than your petty cash account's rounding error. It's one of those too-cheap-and-handy-not-to-buy purchases and can be a lifesaver when traveling.

CD73 Background
5'-nucleotidase, also known as NT5E, NTE, and CD73, is a cell membrane protein which belongs to the5'-nucleotidase family. CD73 is a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored purine salvage enzyme expressed on the surface of human T and B lymphocytes. CD73 catalyzes the conversion of purine and pyrimidine ribo- and deoxyribonucleoside monophosphates to the corresponding nucleosides. CD73 serves as a costimulatory molecule in activating T cells. CD73 generated adenosine functions in cell signalling in many physiologic systems, including intestinal epithelium, ischemic myocardium, and cholinergic synapses. CD73 might mediate lymphocyte-stromal cell interactions or condition the local microenvironment to facilitate lymphocyte development and/or function. In CD73-depleted cells, surface levels of the leukocyte adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin increase. CD73 produces extracellular adenosine, which then acts on G protein-coupled purigenic receptors to induce cellular responses. CD73 has also been reported to regulate expression of pro-inflammatory molecules in mouse endothelium.

New York High Court Upholds the State's ...
New York High Court Upholds the State's "Amazon Law"
| By Michael Mazerov
Earlier this week, I applauded a recent "test" vote in the U.S. Senate that signaled overwhelming and bipartisan support for pending legislation that would require large Internet merchants to collect state and local sales taxes. Yesterday, New York's high court upheld the constitutionality of a 2008 state law designed to achieve the same goal.
First, some background: the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1992 that out-of-state sellers cannot be required to charge sales taxes on sales to residents of states in which the merchant lacks a "physical presence." (Buyers are obligated to pay the sales taxes directly to their states when the seller doesn't charge them but, of course, very few do.) But an earlier Supreme Court decision held that in-state independent sales representatives who solicit sales on behalf of out-of-state merchants can satisfy this physical presence requirement.
The New York law at issue asserts that online companies like Amazon and Overstock have that "physical presence" — that is, the cyberspace equivalent of door-to-door salesmen in the state — when they have marketing partners known as "affiliates" in New York; thus, they must charge sales tax on all sales in New York. Affiliates are businesses and nonprofits that link to an Internet retailer from their own site and receive a commission when readers click on the link and then make a purchase at the retailer's online store.
I've urged states with sales taxes to enact laws modeled on New York's. Eight states have done so (Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Vermont), and a ninth, Pennsylvania, is enforcing the same policy with respect to Internet retailers with in-state affiliates under its existing sales tax law. Amazon or Overstock may appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, but we hope that the final decision in the New York court system will encourage additional states to act. The Supreme Court has declined to review several state court decisions on the obligations of out-of-state merchants to charge sales taxes since its 1992 decision; it's likely to deny this case as well.
The New York law only partially solves the problem of interstate sales that escape taxation, because some Internet retailers don't operate affiliate programs and because others have responded to these laws by terminating their programs in some states rather than collect sales taxes. The federal legislation that the Senate endorsed in its recent vote is still needed to solve the problem comprehensively. Policymakers should enact that legislation soon. In the meantime, the remaining states should emulate New York's law, and its court victory should be celebrated.

Beaufort Co. students had option to return in-person 5 days a week
By Kristen Rary | January 4, 2021 at 3:30 PM EST - Updated January 4 at 7:21 PM
BEAUFORT COUNTY, S.C. (WTOC) - Students in Beaufort County had the option to return to school five days a week in person Monday, Jan. 4 for the first time in nearly nine months.
"Getting kids in school, being able to teach face-to-face, is important component I think for them," Beaufort Schools Superintendent Frank Rodriquez said.
"It's just nice. It is a progression towards normal," Battery Creek High School Principal Chad Cox said.
School officials in Beaufort County say they feel confident going back to school five days a week
"While community spread may be high, spread within the schools is fairly low."
They have spent the last few months monitoring what practices do and do not work and say they are confident with their COVID-19 precautions.
"You know, we'll keep an eye on it, we will keep monitoring it, if the need arises to quarantine a classroom, we will. If we need to quarantine at grade level, we will if we need to quarantine at school we will. We won't hesitate to do that."
Battery Creek is expecting some changes to who will be learning in person and who will be learning virtually.
"It will be at like, 50-50."
The principal says for many students their education will improve learning in person. But the decision was also social.
"You know, we don't have lunch anymore. Like they're used to. The class changes are minimal. You must wear a mask all day. Do you have to be on one side of the hallway? Everybody is spread out. It's so eerily quiet here during the day. They're not used to that."
They say the building will be deep cleaned every evening and over the weekends.
"We are excited to have them back in our buildings, we know it's going to help them academically and so we look forward to the rest of the school year."
The superintendent was asked what the school system was planning just in case there is a classroom that cannot be spread out. He said in that situation they have barriers that can go up in between the desks.
Students excited to be back in the classroom
"It feels great actually," junior student Jacove Enperson said.
"It feels pretty good. I don't mind being back at school," senior student Matthew Selby said. Several students say it's the best way of learning for their grades.
"I was always really stressed out about my grades because I always like them to be perfect. And so virtual school was hard for me," freshman Juliana Riche said.
"I prefer being back in school just because it's easier for me to learn," junior Destiny Barker said.
Many say they are excited about one major thing.
"It's easier to talk to my teachers. It's easier to talk to everybody else," senior Aiden Ferguson said.
But even if this year is not what they expected they're are excited to be around people again.
"Being social. Seeing my friends is still a big one for me."
"I do like seeing a lot of my friends. It's really nice."

Indore: Pressed for marriage, youth tells girlfriend! Will Chop you into 35 pieces
Indore (Madhya Pradesh): An event manager was allegedly raped by a person on the pretext of marriage in the Banganga area, the police said on Tuesday. The accused also threatened to chop her into 35 pieces if she forced him to marry. The police had earlier launched a manhunt for the accused and he was arrested in a late-night development.
It may be recalled that Aftab Amin Poonawalla killed his live-in partner, chopped her into 35 pieces and scattered the body parts across Delhi. Five months after committing the crime, he was arrested.
According to the Banganga police station staff, a case has been registered against one Shubham, a resident of Shivakanth Nagar area on the complaint of a 22-year-old girl under various sections of the IPC.
The girl stated in her complaint that she hails from Mumbai and was living in the city for a few months and worked as an event manager. She met the accused a few months ago.
According to the girl, the accused reached her rented house and had physical relations without her consent. The accused told her that he loved her and they would get married. After that the accused got physical with her several times on the pretext of marriage.
On January 5, the accused again reached her place and had an intimate moment with her. He then threatened to chop her into 35 pieces if she forced him to marry her. Petrified with the thought of being chopped, the girl did not reveal the matter to her family but reported the matter to the police.
Man raped girl, duped her of Rs 26000
In another incident, a 23-year-old youth had a physical relationship with a girl on the pretext of marriage in Chhatripura. He also took Rs 26,000 from her on the pretext of some treatment. According to the police, one Sourabh was booked under Sections 376, 376 (2) (N), 506 of the IPC on the complaint of a girl on Monday. The girl informed the police that she met the accused a few months ago. He had a physical relationship with her and later refused to marry her. The accused had taken money from her too and had promised to return the same soon. He, however, went back on his words. The police are searching for the accused.

Microsoft has built custom hardware for its datacenters, as The Verge previously exclusively reported, so that existing and future Xbox games will be compatible with the services. Games will be streamed to devices, and Microsoft has been testing the xCloud service with Xbox wireless controllers connected to consoles, mobile devices, and PCs. Microsoft says its research teams are "creating ways to combat latency" via advanced network techniques combined with video encoding and decoding. This should make game streaming viable on 4G networks, too.
Public trials of the service will begin next year, and Microsoft's Xbox game streaming service will face competition from a variety of existing services. The most popular include GeForce Now, PlayStation Now, Shadow, and Liquid Sky. Microsoft's xCloud unveiling comes just days after Google announced its own Project Stream service that will let testers play Assassin's Creed Odyssey through its Chrome browser on a laptop or desktop. Microsoft isn't revealing exactly what it's doing differently than the competition, but we'll find out more details when public testing starts in 2019.

MXGP 2022 Friday, August 19th 2022
Preview Round 17 MXGP of Charente Maritime (FRA) France
Newly-crowned champion Gajser,
After all the celebrations from Tim Gajser's fifth world championship title in Hyvinkaa, Finland last weekend, Team HRC's focus is now fully on the penultimate round of the series, to be held at the familiar venue of St Jean D'Angely in France.
In one of the most competitive eras in motocross history, for Gajser to make it three championships in four years is an amazing achievement, and like his previous titles, his ability to wrap it up early takes all the pressure off these last two rounds, giving him a great chance to add to his already unmatchable 13 race wins and eight overall GP victories. And having won the last GP to be held at the St Jean D'Angely track, in 2019, he is really looking forward to getting back to winning ways in front of what is sure to be a packed hillside of French fans.
For teammate Mitch Evans, Finland certainly wasn't his best outing but he is now channelling that frustration into some positive energy for these last two rounds of the season. Setting himself a goal of getting on the podium in 2022, the Australian has put in some really good rides, without gaining the rewards he deserved. Now though, he is determined to put that right, and that starts this weekend where he will be looking to show-off his speed at every opportunity.
In what is the third of three back-to-back rounds, the hard-pack hilly venue of St Jean D'Angely always provides entertainment for the passionate French supporters who line themselves up all around this historic track. And when the gate-drops on Sunday 21st August, Team HRC will be hoping that they'll be two Honda CRF450Rs up the front of the field, battling for victory.
After winning the championship last weekend, I feel like a lot of the pressure has gone and I can concentrate on just the races, rather than the whole points situation. So, I hope for France this weekend and the final round in Turkey, I can get back to winning ways and add to my eight overall victories so far in 2022. The response after winning the title has been amazing, and I just want to thank everyone for all their messages. I still can't believe it was my fifth title and I'm so thankful to have all the support from my team, and from all the fans around the world.
Mitch Evans 43
Finland really didn't go my way, but I'm still feeling good about these last two rounds and that's what I'm putting all of my effort into. I really want to get a podium before the end of the season so that's what I'll looking for in St Jean D'Angely this weekend. I also want to say a big congratulations to my teammate Tim for winning the championship in Finland. Being with him every weekend, I know first-hand how much work he puts in, so he fully deserves it.
It was awesome for Tim to win the title with two rounds still to race, he's done so well all year and it's amazing what he's been able to accomplish in his career. Five world titles at his age puts him up there with the very best of our sport and he still has plenty of time to climb even higher. It is a pleasure to work alongside him and we all hope he can add to even more championships under the Team HRC awning. Now we are focused on him and Mitch doing as best they can in St Jean D'Angely this weekend, and we are confident they can both be successful.

Though predominantly plastic, the G933 and G633 both felt very well made, even when flexing them with both hands. Thankfully there was an absence of the characteristic creaky plastic noises often heard from cheap construction, which extended to the time I was actually wearing them. There is a really high level of fit-and-finish to these that's apparent from the moment you remove them from the box; while only time will tell how durable they are, they do feel very solid.
One aspect of the design stood out right away, and that was the quality of the headband adjustment. The size adjustment was quite strong, and there is a reassuring click with each step. The headphones hold their position well, too; making it easy to keep them at your preferred setting through multiple listening seasons. I simply set them down on the desk between uses, and they were at my setting when I picked them back up, even after moving them around. I own headphones that have to be readjusted each time, so this was a nice surprise.
Overall I was very impressed, and as we move on to comfort we'll see more details about the construction of these headsets.
These are big headphones. There's no way around that. The earcups stick out about 2.5 inches from the side of your head, which contributes to a 'large' feel. As the owner of a pair of Audio Technica AD700X's I'm used to a large size, but these felt larger on my head.
They weren't as heavy as I was expecting at 13 oz considering how substantial they look, and both headsets felt fine after longer listening sessions. To put the weight into perspective, the Razer Tiamat 7.1 headset is close to the same weight at 12.6 oz, and the ASUS STRIX 7.1 is 15.8 oz.
This is made from combination of materials. Internally it starts with a metal band, which is covered with plastic trim panels and has a fabric cushion where it rests against your head. The foam inside this pad is more dense than that of the ear cups, and feels like it will hold up for some time.
This is moderate; enough force to keep the ear cups against your head without squeezing - though I can only speak for my own dome here. This is an important aspect of comfort, and in this case level of force contributed to a more comfortable feeling during longer listening sessions.
The ear cups are large and have a soft, padded fabric cushion that fits around the ear.
These were comfortable and did a surprisingly good job of reducing outside noise. They don't create an airtight seal, but I prefer this only mostly open-ear designs (personal preference here, of course). So, while these are definitely not open-ear headphones, the breathable cushion does allows some air - and thus noise - in. This external noise is faint, as I could barely hear anything with the headphones in place and nothing playing, and with the game or music on I didn't notice any outside noise.
Another benefit of the fabric is breathability, and this aided in the comfort over longer listening sessions by preventing uncomfortable perspiration buildup against the ear cups (it sounds gross, but it happens!). And on this topic, the ear cushions are actually easily removeable for cleaning.
Simply pull them off to wash (I recommend hand washing with light soap and then allowing them to air dry).
The ear cups also swivel generously; moving inward several degrees as needed to provide a good fit, and outward close to 90 degrees.
The headphones can also lay completely flat, and it's useful to be able to turn an earcup away from your ear without completely removing the headset.
Next we'll look at controls and software.

Q: Cant get the image to show in Umbraco7 with razor I have used the media picker as data type for the type, for which the user is going to choose what image they want as the deal image.
But for some reason i can't get the razor syntax to show the image. If I make an If statement to check if the page contains an image then it won't. I think this is a problem that occurs because i have misunderstood something.
My current razor statement:

The above code won't show anything.
Hope any of you can guide me to what i do wrong and evt. stuff I'm missing.
This is how my current home.cshtml looks like:
 @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    Layout = "Master.cshtml";
}

@Umbraco.Field("dealtitle1")

@Umbraco.Field("dealdescription1")

@Umbraco.Field("dealtitle2")

@Umbraco.Field("dealdescription2")

@Umbraco.Field("dealtitle3")

@Umbraco.Field("dealdescription3")

A: You need to use Umbraco.Media to get the media. So like this

Or

A: An example of using Umbraco.Media:
var myPage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf().Where("DocumentTypeAlias == @0", "yourPageAlias").First();

Umbraco.Media(myPage.myImage.ToString()).Url

A: Link on OUR Umbraco offers two solutions:
Typed:
@if (Model.Content.HasValue("caseStudyImages"))
{
    var caseStudyImagesList = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>("caseStudyImages").Split(new string[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Select(int.Parse);
    var caseStudyImagesCollection = Umbraco.TypedMedia(caseStudyImagesList).Where(x => x != null);

    foreach (var caseStudyImage in caseStudyImagesCollection)
        {

        }
}

Dynamic:
@if (CurrentPage.HasValue("caseStudyImages"))
{
    var caseStudyImagesList = CurrentPage.CaseStudyImages.Split(new string[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
    var caseStudyImagesCollection = Umbraco.Media(caseStudyImagesList);

    foreach (var caseStudyImage in caseStudyImagesCollection)
    {

    }
}

Also, double check your media picker data type alias. Typos are rather common in this part.

A: This may be a bit clunky compared to other answers but this is what I currently have.
var imageId = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<int>("eventPoster"); // gets node id
var evId = evpId.Id; // gets image id
var evMd = Umbraco.Media(evId); // I believe this turns the id into a string
var evUrl = evMd.Url; // gets the url of the string

DOJ antitrust head says he hasn't made a decision on T-Mobile-Sprint merger
As we continue to wait for the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Justice to finish their reviews of T-Mobile and Sprint's merger, there's a lot of speculation, leaks, and rumors about how the two agencies might fall on the deal. Today one of the people that's actually reviewing the deal has spoken up about the process.
Makan Delrahim, head of the DOJ's antitrust team, said today that he hasn't yet made a decision on the T-Mobile Sprint merger. "I have not made up my mind," Delrahim said in a CNBC interview. "The investigation continues. We've requested some data from the companies that will be forthcoming. We don't have a set number of meetings or a time line."
"If the case is there for us to challenge a transaction or suggest changes, we will do that," Delrahim explained. "We're all one team, the antitrust division. We will make a decision collectively. My job is to make sure that the analysis is done properly, make sure that the facts are there."
A recent report claimed that DOJ staff have told T-Mobile and Sprint that their deal is unlikely to be approved as it's currently structured. T-Mobile CEO John Legere called that report "simply untrue," while Fox Business said that the deal's odds of approval are 50-50.
Today we're getting a comment from the DOJ itself on the deal, but unfortunately, there's no info that gives us an idea on which way the agency is leaning. For now we'll have to continue to wait for the FCC and DOJ to examine the deal and decide whether it should be blocked or allowed to happen.
In other merger news, T-Mobile and Sprint submitted a filing to the SEC that says they're extending the deadline for the deal's completion to July 29th.

Maybe we should get Howie Mandel to ask them… or at least have him make the announcement with the doj
Haha. They could have the decision in a briefcase and have Howie Mandel open it up.
(J²)
I think this is ultimately going to be a merger with conditions. If the merger were going to be blocked, it would have probably have spilled over and been stated by now.

Current information regarding Coronavirus
"Brexit presents us with a challenge."
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin | Press Portal | "Brexit presents us with a challenge."
Gesa Stedman has been Professor of British Culture and Literature at the Centre for British Studies at Humboldt-Universität since 2008. Together with Professor Stefano Evangelista from Trinity College, Oxford University, she is currently leading the collaborative project "I am a Camera. Berlin Through the Eyes of English Writers."
In the summer of 2021 - that seems certain today - the brexite will be completed, the exit of Great Britain from the European Union. "Personally, the brexite won't have any major consequences for me," says Gesa Stedman, "because I have a British and a German passport." For the M.A. British Studies course at the Centre for British Centre of Humboldt-Universität, however, the brexite could pose major problems if Britain leaves not only the EU but also the Erasmus+ programme area.
Prof. Dr. Gesa Stedman from the Centre for British Studies of HU
The exhibition "I am a Camera. Berlin Through the Eyes of English Writers" will open in June 2021 in cooperation with the Literaturhaus Berlin, the Gay Museum, the Bodleian Library Oxford and several foundations. A comprehensive accompanying programme of events is planned, including an exhibition in the foyer of Humboldt-Universität.
"This is about the origins of the Berlin myth as a creative hotspot," says Gesa Stedman, describing the project, which focuses primarily on the period after the First World War. "It is about questioning this myth and at the same time supplementing it with unknown and new perspectives. And not to forget the question of what Berlin means to contemporary English-speaking authors.
