Digital access is a civil right, and there is a lot happening in the legal space. Court decisions, government agency activity, and private party settlements are defining best practices and the scope of digital accessibility requirements. Organizations across industries need to be aware of these developments to better understand their legal obligations.
This webinar will be presented by Lainey Feingold, a nationally recognized disability rights lawyer and pioneer of Structured Negotiation known for negotiating landmark accessibility agreements. Lainey's book, Structured Negotiation: A Winning Alternative to Lawsuits, is now available from the American Bar Association (link in bio, below). Her presentation will analyze key cases, government agency activity, settlements, and other developments in digital accessibility through September 2016.
How the law is impacting accessibility in fields as diverse as finance, education, voting, healthcare, employment, and transportation.
Lainey Feingold is a disability rights lawyer who works primarily with the blind community on technology, digital, and information access issues. She is internationally recognized for negotiating landmark accessibility agreements and for pioneering the collaborative dispute resolution method known as Structured Negotiation. In 2014 and in 2000, she was honored with a California Lawyer of the Year (CLAY) award. Her book about Structured Negotiation is now available from the American Bar Association (but it's not just for lawyers)!
Since so much was covered in the presentation, and so much is happening in the world of web accessibility law generally, we decided to outline main takeaways in this blog post to help make the legal year a bit more digestible to our readers.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law.
When it was passed in 1990, the internet as we know it today did not exist, and legislators have been very slow to bring those regulations up to speed.
As a result, regulations ensuring that people with disabilities have equal access to the internet are essentially missing from the ADA's language.
So, as Lainey points out, it is worth applauding the Department of Justice (DOJ) for being a true champion of civil rights by enforcing the ADA in such a way that does support equal access to the internet.
While 2016 has not yet seen any major updates to accessibility law, there are still big changes on the horizon.
In 2010, the DOJ said they were going to update Title II of the ADA, clarifying its application to the internet presence of state and local governments. The update was submitted for official review in July 2014.
Unfortunately, on April 29th, 2016, in a frustrating blow to advocates everywhere, the DOJ scrapped the new regulations and said it was starting the process all over again.
However, in the same motion that the DOJ discarded the old update, they also issued a new Supplemental Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SANPRM) in order to solicit additional public comment on various issues to help the DOJ "shape and further its rulemaking efforts," citing evolutions in the internet and assistive technologies. The deadline for public comment was October 7th, 2016, so assuming no further delays, Title II guidance will hopefully come sometime in 2017.
In 2013, the DOJ also announced it would discuss issuing new guidance for Title III, recognizing that accessibility for commercial entities is just as important. However, the same SANPRM that delayed Title II's new rules pushed back Title III's, as well.
Web accessibility guidelines for entities that operate web sites considered "places of public accommodation" under Title III are slated to come in 2018.
As mentioned in an earlier post, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act has undergone an information and communications technology (ICT) refresh which is slated go public this October.
The major changes will include new language that aligns the law closer to WCAG 2.0, which means more clarity as to what kind of new technologies are required to be accessible and how.
The ICT Refresh is currently being reviewed by the White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is awaiting final approval.
As previously mentioned, revisions to the ADA seemed like they were on the way this year. The main reason the DOJ decided to start from scratch was because the new regulations did not get approval from the OMB. Hopefully, this will not be the case with the Section 508 ICT Refresh.
Do Regulations Even Matter at This Point? Yes, and No.
Case law, which is derived from court rulings, increasingly favors the rights of people with disabilities.
Before the NAD v. Netflix case it was assumed that Title III of ADA limited "places of public accommodation" to physical structures. As a result of the ruling, it is now widely known that ADA regulations can be applied to online businesses.
[Even] though they're going through this whole regulatory process, they make it very clear that the Department has taken the position Title II covers internet web access.
They also said the Department believes that Level AA conformance of WCAG is the most appropriate standard. So I get frustrated when I hear, well, we don't know what to do. There's no regulations. We do know what to do. The Justice Department has said, the ADA covers web access for state and local government and Title III, and that WCAG AA is the appropriate standard.
So does it matter that we don't have regulations? I say no, and I say yes. The ADA already covers digital access. That's the takeaway. That's the law in your back pocket. That's a civil right. ADA's a civil rights law. Justice Department says it covers digital.
On the other hand, we're sick of excuses. There shouldn't be any more excuses, and until we have regulations, there will probably continue to be excuses. So for that reason, I think it does matter, and it's very frustrating that the process has taken this long.
Any new developments in accessibility law cases are very exciting — partly because these cases can take a long time before a decision is reached so any news is exciting — but mainly because the rulings have major ramifications for so many individuals and organizations within the US.
The case law resulting from an accessibility case ruling is a sign of how courts are interpreting the law as it applies to new scenarios and technologies, usually foreshadowing how laws will be written in the future.
One of the more prominent web accessibility stories from 2016 is the ongoing DOJ investigation into inaccessible tech at the University California, Berkeley.
In the letter sent to the university, the DOJ claims that a great deal of educational resources at the university — namely their iTunes channel, YouTube channel, and the massive open online courses of the university — are inaccessible to people with hearing, vision, and motor disabilities.
Because the school receives federal funding, the DOJ has the right to investigate under Title II of the ADA.
In Lainey's view, this case is peculiar because the investigation is underway even though the university has an excellent accessibility department. The DOJ discovered that many of the violations found in the investigation resulted from the allegation that the university's accessibility policy was not being properly enforced.
In an effort to prevent litigation, the DOJ wants to try collaborating with the school to find solutions to their inaccessible web resources. In response, the school put a statement on their website claiming they also looked forward to collaborating with the DOJ, but they also implied that failure to reach an agreement could result in them removing their public-facing online courses.
UC Berkeley has a successful history of cooperating with outside groups to correct inaccessibility issues, so hopefully they can do the same with the DOJ this time.
As many in the world of accessibility already know, students represented by the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) are currently suing MIT and Harvard University over inaccessible educational video content available to the public via massive open online course (MOOC) initiatives operated by the two academic giants.
[It's] just sitting in the court system waiting for a district court judge to approve the findings, which we are confident will happen.
The outcome of this case will essentially determine the degree to which video captioning will be required in higher education and in the world of free, internet-only education. A ruling in favor of the NAD would mean that universities across the US will need to reevaluate whether all of their educational video content is properly captioned.
During the presentation, Lainey went over a lot of other accessibility cases and legal developments.Check out her website to stay on top of them all.
In one of the highest attended webinars of this year, we were very lucky to host disability rights lawyer Lainey Feingold who presented on web accessibility trends and updates from 2016.
Lainey Feingold is internationally recognized for negotiating landmark accessibility agreements with large corporations like Bank of America, Major League Baseball, and Walmart. She is also a pioneer of the dispute resolution method known as structured negotiation, and recently authored the book Structured Negotiation: A Winning Alternative to Lawsuits available now via the American Bar Association.
Our audience was full of great questions about web accessibility law as it applies to higher education and the corporate world. Read on for condensed highlights from the Q and A session, or watch the webinar above.
What would you say is the biggest change regarding the law and post-secondary education in the recent year?
LAINEY FEINGOLD: I myself haven't done higher ed cases. I do know [about] the Department of Education's investigations. There was a report out that 350 complaints or investigations opened have been filed. So I think this just heightened attention.
Higher education institutions are covered by the ADA either if they're private or if they're [public].
The ADA has required accessibility for a long time. But obviously, there's heightened attention to it. All of you wanted to be on this webinar. Some of that has to do with the new players coming in and having a different approach and filing more demand letters. I also think that we have more and more disabled students, more and more people growing up in the age of the ADA, recognizing their rights.
I certainly see that in law school. When I started in, there were not that many blind lawyers. Now there are more and more younger blind lawyers, who are insisting on their rights, who are doing this work both for themselves and for clients. So I think that those all contribute to the heightened awareness of this.
Do you think companies see accessibility as a hindrance to developing and marketing new products?
LAINEY FEINGOLD: I hope not. I hope not. It shouldn't be. I think that's all of our job[s]. I think all of us, everyone on this webinar is a champion in your own way, or else you wouldn't be here. And our job is to say, man, we are in a country that recognizes that not everybody accesses digital the same way. Not everybody sees a screen. Not everybody hears video. Not everybody has hands to use a keyboard.
And that can encourage creativity, and that can enhance the options and the wide availability of whatever is being developed. And there's a strong message that comes the other way. "Oh, my god, accessibility – it's a burden, and the law is coming down" and blah, blah.
But it's our job to see it in a different way, and that's why I like doing these presentations, because it makes me sad when the law is seen as a real negative when I know from 20 years of working in collaboration in this space that when we do bake in accessibility, companies like it. They're excited. Major League Baseball took the baton and ran with it. Bank of America, Weight Watchers, so many of the companies that we've worked with, when they understand it from the disabled person's perspective and not as some force outside that is trying to interfere with their business, they like it. They like it.
On our campus, we have two camps. One camp is not as concerned about making the deadline, and the other is terrified. Do you think it's better to wait for the discovery from the DOJ or to take proactive action now to prevent DOJ discovery?
Everyone would know that I'm going to say, be proactive. Be proactive.
I just don't understand, honestly, in this climate where you have strong government, strong advocates. Each advocacy effort that's undertaken sparks more […]. I think the Harvard and MIT lawsuits also elevated higher ed accessibility issues.
I don't know what it's called in higher ed. In law, it'd be malpractice, not to be proactive. But again, I'm not giving legal advice. But I think when you are proactive, and you meet your students with accessibility, and you think of it as a process of inclusion and doing well by your students, people are going to want to do it.
When you think of it as, oh, let's wait for the DOJ to knock on our door and fight them, people are not going to want to do it. It's human nature, which is why I like structured negotiation. I talk in the book about when you create a collaborative environment, everybody tends to be collaborative. It's hard to be confrontational when people around the table are trying to work out a solution. And that's what I've seen doing this work in this way for 20 years. That's what I try to convey in the book, how we do that. So I'm all for proactive.
Are there settlements or decisions which speak specifically to the accessibility of marketing materials?
QUIZ: What Captioning Laws Apply to You?
Take this quick quiz to see which laws may require you to add captions to video.
LAINEY FEINGOLD: I'm not aware of anything where that is called out. [In] structured negotiation, we don't file a legal complaint. We don't file a negative press release. And I talk about it in the book. I have a chapter on media.
Well, our website is really just a marketing tool. We have a vendor. We don't really consider it information like online banking or health, explanation of benefits. But in fact, it was content, [and] these days the line is very blurred [around] content marketing.
The more research that I conduct about technology accessibility, the more information I find about visual or auditory impairments. Are there additional needs that we should also be considering for individuals with differing abilities, not just hearing and vision?
LAINEY FEINGOLD: Yes. That's a very good question, and a good place to start on that is the WebAIM website, webaim.org. They have a really good section on how people of different disabilities use the internet, so just two quick things.
There's a woman I know, who doesn't have hands, and she gets super frustrated by Dragon Dictate and without an accessible website and thinking about how people are using speech input are using the site. That's one issue.
And there's a lot of work going on right now for cognitive disabilities. The Web Accessibility Initiative has a cognitive task force. The Cognitive Disability Task Force is really looking at ways to make web content – and honestly, I think this is going to help people with and without disabilities – simpler, easier to access. And there's a book by a law professor in New York named Peter Blanck called eQuality, about the law and cognitive disabilities and where that might go.


I have not updated this in a while. I find myself starting over again. Last year, had dropped down from 190 to 165! With that weight loss came fertility. I became pregnant in September of 2015 and had a beautiful little girl this past June. I found myself over 200 pounds during pregnancy. Only to be at about 190 again after having the baby. In the past few months, I have lost only 10 pounds and need to start losing weight all over again.
I have been overweight a lot of my life. Aside from playing sports my freshman year of High School, I have never been very active. One of the main contributors to gaining weight has been Poly-Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). I was diagnosed in my early teens. The thing about PCOS is that it causes you to gain weight and makes it difficult to lose, however losing weight could greatly improve your symptoms. So finding balance is a struggle.
I won't blame my weight gain on PCOS alone. I love food! I have never had any restrictions on what I ate. I was never taught how to eat in a way to simply sustain my body. My favorite foods have always been pastas, breads, and good ole soul food.
I never exercised. In fact, I have always called exercise "the E word." As a teen, mentioning exercise was like saying a cuss word to me. I despised it! I hated it. BUT because the weight had not caught up with me yet, it did not seem like a big deal.
The weight didn't really start catching up with me until my late teens/early twenties. I didn't realize it as a problem at the time because it was all proportionate. I didn't think I was fat. I was just 'thick." It looked good, so I didn't see a problem and never made any changes to ensure that it didn't become a problem.
At the age of 32, I topped at my max weight of 190 lbs. It was not the cute "thick" weight that I was carrying in my early twenties. To me, I started to see FAT on my 5 foot, 2.5 inch frame!
On 3/6/15, I made a decision to see a weight loss doctor. He basically told me that at the bare minimum, I needed to lose 40 pounds. That was the only way, in which my body would be in a place where health risks would diminish and the weight wouldn't come right back. He told me that whatever I do, do NOT stop until I reach that 40 pound loss. If I do stop before that point, I will put the weight back on almost instantly. Losing more than 40 pounds would be ideal, but 40 is bare minimum. That day, I made a decision that I needed to be serious about getting fit. I started counting my calories from that moment.
About a month later, I found a book called Skinny School. This book has changed my life! First, I learned that it is okay to make fitness one of your major life goals. It is also important that you treat it as a major life goal. That means working it hard until you reach your ideal. Failing is a part of being a champion. It teaches you where you are weak so that you know where to spend more time growing. One of the main concepts of this book is to get rid of sugar and simple carbs. I will post a review of this book very soon.
To date, (5/19/15) I have gotten rid of 15 pounds since that appointment on March 6. I am very proud of myself and will continue to drop pounds until I reach my goal. I use terms like "get rid of" or "drop pounds" because I have learned how the mind works. When you lose something, your subconscious sees it as something that you want to find. I never want to find these pounds again. I am purposely destroying them!

Yahoo-Right Media: Execs Address Questions Of Conflicts, Value
David Kaplan Apr 30, 2007 - 2:10 PM CDT
The midnight announcement that Yahoo is acquiring 80 percent of Right Media for $680 million was followed by a call Monday with Yahoo chairman and CEO Terry Semel, Sue Decker, the outgoing CFO who now heads the advertising and publisher group, and Right Media CEO Michael Walrath, explaining the deal to analysts and media. [Update: Semel also addressed the acquisition in a blog post.]
Some of the details:
Changing Valuation: Last fall, when Yahoo bought a 20 percent stake in Right Media for $40 million, Yahoo valued the company at $200 million. Now, at the time of the announcement, it was valued at $850 million. Asked what accounted for the change — did Right Media experience substantial growth since then or has the M&A environment tightened – Decker answered: "There are three considerations in the value that we saw. One is the value in the stand-alone business. That's all that we considered when we were looking at it the $200 million valuation last fall, because we were only owning 20 percent and we couldn't have the integration capabilities that we can have today." Secondly, Yahoo now believes it can create a much more robust platform for its display publisher network from Right Media's existing tools and experienced sales team. Yahoo also hopes to gain from opening up the ad network to all publishers. Decker: "We're calling it the 'we sell/you sell' model, where we're going to open this up to other publishers' sales forces, who have a scarcity of premium inventory, and would like to sell more, potentially Yahoo inventory and exchange inventory. Those factors dramatically enhance the scale of the ad network."
Yahoo Expects Price Lifts Of 50 Percent For Ad Inventory: Yahoo had previously moved a small portion of ad inventory over to Right Media to gauge possible returns. Decker: "We've seen price lifts on what we have moved of over 50 percent. Right Media has seen even higher percentages with other publishers. A good portion of our inventory is sold to resellers and other ad networks, and we believe that there is a meaningful price spread in the buy price from us and the sell price to the markets. We believe we can narrow that by creating a more efficient auction by bringing our two channels together. Also, there's a lot we didn't include, in terms of upsides, I talked about a combined roadmap, which could allow it to offer more formats, video, mobile, text
One Response to "Yahoo-Right Media: Execs Address Questions Of Conflicts, Value"
Tim May 1, 2007
I'm a little confused. Yahoo's saying that Right is worth $200 million as a business. But it's worth 3.5 times that if a company (like Yahoo) were to come along and, say, buy the company outright, which of course is exactly what Yahoo's doing.
Is Yahoo stupid? Are they acting as buyer AND seller in this transaction?
Do the Yahoo lawyers put an offer on the table, and then run around to Right Media's side and whisper in their ears, "No that offer's too low. We're totally going to make a lot of money off you guys. Make us go higher."
If I were a Yahoo shareholder, I'd be kinda pissed.

Viewers use photographs to separate the dangerous from the desirable.
There is a marked difference in how first impressions are made through photographs versus in person. Because of the lasting power of first impressions, it is necessary to strategize both.
Regarding virtual communication, people can spend time thinking through answers before hitting the keyboard, making undesirable characteristics easier to hide. Yet photographs communicate personality traits as well.
Although no substitute for in-person chemistry, good photographs are important communication enhancers during the initial information-gathering phase of a relationship. The first impression that is made in person can corroborate or contradict personality traits that are expressed through an online profile, so choose your photos carefully.
Just like online shopping for consumer products, browsing dating sites involves forming impressions based not just on what you read, but on what you see. In fact when looking at photographs of faces, what you see can be the fastest way you form a first impression—without even realizing it. Sure, profile descriptions are helpful, but at first glance, research reveals that expressions matter.
Research by Bar et al. entitled "Very First Impressions" (2006) studied impression formation in a context without the benefit of emotional cues.[i] They examined how quickly threat judgments are formed by simply looking at a face. They presented participants with photographs of 90 Caucasian males with neutral expressions and measured the extent to which participants judged the faces as threatening. The study includes photographs of the four faces which were judged as most threatening.
One of the interesting aspects of this study is the finding that because the neutral expressions were devoid of emotional cues, resulting judgments related to personality rather than a temporary emotional state such as anger.
Another discovery was that first impressions can be formed within the first 39ms, based on whatever information is available. The researchers noted that when it came to judging intelligence, impressions were less consistent—suggesting that traits related to survival are made more quickly.
So when choosing pictures for an online profile, consider the impact of selecting photographs depicting a neutral expression, versus pictures showing positive emotion—such as smiling or laughing with family or friends. Apparently, your photo selection can quickly define your online desirability—or lack thereof. Even if you are incredibly handsome, a straight-faced photo might look more like a mug shot than a glamour shot.
Obviously, you should exercise good judgment in deciding when and where to meet an online interest offline for the first time. Public place, well lit, cell phone charged, you have heard about all of the reasonable precautions to take. Having done so, you are now in a far better position to get an accurate read on your date in person rather than online.
In person, even when your date displays a neutral face, such as when they are listening to you talk, you have the advantage of behavioral and personality cues to guide your impression. Unlike the research by Bar et al. which involved looking at photographs, when you meet in person, you have the benefit of emotional information to inform your assessment of your partner´s suitability.
And because research reveals that emotional responsiveness is itself an attractive quality at first meeting,[ii] an endearing photo online combined with a warm demeanor offline appears to be a winning combination. Take advantage of the power of emotional expression both in the cloud and on the ground to increase the chances of a great first date leading to a great relationship.

I don't want to smile in my pictures. The muscles in my cheeks are usually already sore from laughing, so it hurts to smile.
I don't walk around with a pie eating grin. I can not fake that nonsense for a camera. We have become a society that has to micro-analyze every detail. People need to grow up and stop making snap judgments. Any psychopath can have a charming smile.

5/5 for Patrollers / Blogue 5/5 des patrouilleurs
Al McInnis – National Nordic On-Snow Coordinator
By A.P. Crawford, CSP Periodical Editor and Production Manager (5×5@skipatrol.ca)
It is with sadness that we advise that National Nordic On-Snow Coordinator Al McInnis passed away in the middle of September. Al was a man who exemplified effective leadership, innovation and dedication to the aims and objectives of the CSP.
According to Central Zone President Mark Brown, Al was a cornerstone patroller in the zone and a tireless advocate for Nordic patrolling. He was a leader in the introduction of basic life support training and pioneered the Sunday advanced first aid course in the zone. On average, he recertified up to 175 patrollers per year. He worked tirelessly to support the zone's training and development initiatives as an instructor-trainer.
Al also served as the Barrie district AFA supervisor for Central Zone for several years, responsible for 150 to 200 patrollers across five resorts. Additionally, he was in charge of arranging access to Georgian College, where the zone hosts many of the Barrie CSP courses and was the instructor for the inaugural first aid course recognized as a credit course for students in the college's snow resort operations program.
In years prior, Al was an on-snow rescue instructor who participated in the development of toboggan handling for snowboard riding patrollers. Yes, there are many funny stories from that initiative.
While qualified in alpine, Nordic and snowboard disciplines, Nordic was his passion and he is more well-known across the CSP in his role as the national Nordic on-snow coordinator.
Al was also the founder of the Central Zone bike patrol. He represented the CSP at many off-snow events including short track speed skating, Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash and the Becel Ride for Heart (now the Manulife Ride for Heart) to name a few.
Al was the recipient of NAA No. 1411 in 2005 and CSP No. 911 in 2016 along with numerous other awards from Central Zone. His presence across the CSP will be missed.

With portable grills you can even have a tailgate party during the college football season and wait until you are ready to eat to cook the food. There's no more eating cold hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken.
A portable grill is not only great for cooking meat when you're tailgating, having a beach BBQ or are camping with the family. Sure, they cook hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and other meats to perfection. However, they can also be very helpful in preparing side items like baked potatoes or grilled corn on the cob.
For families who love to camp in the great outdoors, portable grills can also be great for cooking breakfast. Simply bring along a griddle to fit the top of the grill and you can easily cook bacon, sausage, pancakes, eggs and French toast.
Portable grills can make a camping trip a lot easier, especially if you are tent camping. Many families today choose to use campers (complete with stoves and bathrooms) during their camping excursions.
However, those who still love the idea of sleeping under the stars in their sleeping bags or in tents often use an open fire to cook their meals. This can be difficult if the weather doesn't cooperate (rain) and using a fire can make it difficult to cook things evenly. However, portable propane or portable charcoal grills can make cooking a breeze while you're out in the wilderness.
Thus, to have a barbecue picnic or cookout you must go elsewhere where they have community grills. Portable charcoal grills and portable propane grills allow you the freedom to host your picnic wherever you'd like to do so.
You can bring a portable grill to a sporting event tailgating area, to a park, to the beach or even to an amusement park picnic area and have tasty food you, your family and friends can enjoy.

Q: getting value of input box on another page I have two pages; page1 and page2. page1 holds a form while page2 has some images. I want to enter a sentence into the form on page1 and get the value of that text box on page2.
the form on page1
<form name="input" action="page2.html" method="get">
    <input type="text" name="textbox" id="textbox">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

what would be the proper way to go about this?
Would I use the get method along with the action method to send the value through the url and then extract it using window.location.href then splitting the text after the ? or is there a simpler way of achieving this?
Thanks

A: Just send it in the query string and read it in page2, as you said.
See this to have an idea of how to read the query string parameter:
How can I get query string values in JavaScript?

A: Your way of doing this would work, although it's certainly not a good long term solution.  If your site is going to get more complicated, it would be better to use a server-side language like .NET, PHP, Ruby, etc.

A: If you have to get thed data using only JS, then you need to use URL. Otherwise you can use server side script like jsp.
When you use URL, make sure the text is URL-encoded before appending to the URL.

Writing a research summary is without any doubt a very tough task. Students often find it difficult to write a strong summary even if the research, analysis and other time-consuming tasks are smoothly done by them. This is because they have to review and find out the information as well as the points that can be included in the summary.
Your research paper or the dissertation will need an important part called research summary, because it gives a brief overview of the research you have done. It will also give your readers an idea on which methodology you have used for the research and what have you achieved. They will also be able to understand the effects of your research on related field and how the outcomes can be implemented further.

The north is best for culture and highly diverse scenery, but much depends when you plan to visit. It can be quite cold in the north between mid-December and mid-March, although temperatures vary widely from year to year. Conversely it's usually extremely hot and humid during the height of the summer. This is also one of the outstanding beauty of North Vietnam, creating the unique values of this land.
Unfortunately one week is really too short to go to all the highlight places of the north. Although Ninh Binh is definitely worth visiting, which has similar karst formations but set among rice paddies rather than sea water. I think you will have to save it for another trip. Halong Bay over two nights is so much nicer than just one night. The additional full day on the bay gives you a chance to see more remote and beautiful parts of the bay as well as activities like kayaking through lagoons, visiting caves, Money island, etc. With that in mind, below is my suggestion for maximizing your time while not making it so fly by night than you miss the beauty and charm of the north.
Hanoi, the Vietnamese capital, although not as large as its Southern rival is still pretty big with a population of 6.5 million. Hanoi feels more Vietnamese, more authentic and the locals seem to be living a more traditional way of life compared to those in Ho Chi Minh.
With its abundance of French colonial architecture, the city is often referred to as the Paris of the Orient. We enjoyed wandering the old quarter, visiting the endless little shops and coffee houses. Some of the streets are narrower and maze-like so hours can be spent meandering the pavement in search for your next noodle soup hit.
Hanoi does have it's fair share of traffic and noise but it's not as fast and furious as Ho Chi Minh. And even if it's still too much for your liking Hanoi has plenty of green spaces to get away from it all. Hanoi is a city of leafy boulevards, peaceful parks and calm lakes. Hoan Kiem Lake is based in the historical centre and is a popular place for walks, picnics and morning t'ai chi classes on the shore. The lake also surrounds Ngoc Son Temple, isolated on an island which can be visited by tourists.
Hanoi also has plenty of museums and sights to satisfy history buffs. The most popular is the monumental, marble structure of Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum. So many visitors go to see the frail, pale body of Ho Chi Minh that at times ques snake for 100s of meters! We also enjoyed the excellent Vietnamese Women's Museum which showcases women's role in Vietnamese society and culture.
380 km from Hanoi, Sapa is a beautiful, remote, mountainous town close to the border with China. Most visitors reach Sapa by an overnight train from Hanoi which is a great experience in itself. Sleeper trains are much safer and more comfortable than taking the other option of a sleeper bus. Sapa, overlooking wonderful rice fields is a popular destination for trekkers as the Muong Hoa Valley offers plenty of walking trails and the option to climb the nearby 3143m tall Fan Si Pan Peak.
Although still home to local hill tribes, Sapa has seen a lot of tourism in recent years so it's not unusual to see local women chasing tourists down the street in pursuit of a brightly coloured clothing sale. It's worth visiting some of the neighbouring villages where tourism has not had such a negative impact. Some of these villages can be reached on foot so it's a great excuse to head out and discover more of the stunning mountain scenery.

Radio Australia: East Timor Ombudsman Recommends Prosecution of Justice Minister [Transcript incl: Sebastiao Ximenes and Jose Ramos-Horta]
Radio Australia July 23, 2009 -transcript- East Timor Ombudsman Recommends Prosecution of Justice Minister
East Timor's Ombudsman is calling for the country's Minister of Justice to be prosecuted, over allegations of corruption, following calls from the country's opposition for Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao to resign, following revelations he authorised a multi-million dollar rice-importation contract to a company linked to his daughter.
The Ombudsman says his office has launched an investigation into the Ministry of Commerce and Industry over that - and a number of other deals - authorised by Mr Gusmao.
Presenter: Stephanie March
Speakers: Sebastiao Ximenes, East Timor Ombudsman; Jose Ramos-Horta, East Timorese President
MARCH: East Timor's ombudsman Sebastiao Ximenes says corruption is a serious problem in the country's administration
XIMENES: The corruption in Timor-Leste, we can say that maybe the problem is the control of our Ministers against civil servants, or maybe the control from the top leader, to the minister, so that is the problem we face in Timor Leste.
MARCH: Late last year, allegations surfaced that East Timor's Justice Minister Lucia Lobato had colluded with a friend in order for that friend to secure a $US1 million contract to rebuild a wall at the Becora prison in the capital DIli.
She said she was prepared to face justice - without using her ministerial immunities - if it found she was involved in any wrongdoing.
The ombudsman, Sebastiao Ximenes, has now passed on his findings to the office of the Prosecutor General.
MARCH: So have you recommended to the Prosecutor General to prosecute the Justice Minister or just investigate further?
GRAB: Yes, investigate further, and also to prosecute. Not only Minister of Justice, we also found some companies involved in this project
MARCH: So both the minister and the companies?
XIMENES: Yes.
The Minister of Justice has not responded to requests by Radio Australia to comment.
The recommendation follows recent revelations East Timor's Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao signed off on a $US3.5 million contract to a company part owned by his daughter, Zenilda Gusmao.
Several of the companies are part owned by the wife of another government minister.
The contracts totalled $UA 56 million.
Mr Ximenes says his office has now launched an investigation into the the circumstances surrounding the Prime Minister and Commerce Minister's approval of the contracts.
XIMENES: I receive a letter from Mr Ramos-Horta, the President of the Republic, to request to our office to conduct investigation against Minister of Commerce and tourist, that is why I mention we already start.
MARCH: President Jose Ramos Horta has conceded there's a chance of making mistakes when multimillion dollar contracts are signed by government officials.
Dr Horta has defended the Prime Minister's role in authorising the contract to the company linked to his daughter.
HORTA: I think corruption is serious in Timor Leste but I reject the charges that top government officials are involved like the prime minister. Tthe prime minister is a very very honest person, he wants to do things fast.
MARCH: Sebastiao Ximenes say he hopes the investigation into the issuing of rice-import contracts will be complete in two months.
But he says that depends heavily on cooperation of the government officials and companies involved.
XIMENES: When our office invite them to come the office, sometimes they have some excuse not to come... So that's a problem that we face.
MARCH: Even if the investigation is completed in the expected time frame and passed on to the prosecutor general, Mr Ximenes says East Timor's legal system already has a backlog of corruption cases.
XIMENES: The Prosecutor General already received from our office 28 case for corruption, but not one case they forward to the court... but I believe the problem they face is manpower - no prosecutors.
MARCH: East Timor's parliament recently passed legislation to set-up an anti-corruption commission that would take on the role of the Ombudsman in dealing corruption allegations.

Who Will Win The Prize of CRM Enterprise?
It's the modern-day tale of David vs. Goliath as to who will win the fight within the CRM enterprise market. HubSpot recently announced at the INBOUND 18 Marketing Conference their move to bring their popular growth platform into the enterprise market to take on top players like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Marketo with new products within the Enterprise Growth Suite.
Although an ambitious move for HubSpot, it comes as no surprise one of the most popular CRM platforms is aiming to advance its digital foothold by increasing its product and services offering in the enterprise market to expand its global reach.
HubSpot is known traditionally as the platform that helps businesses negotiate their digital transformation journey through CRM, sales and services. However, this announcement signals a new business move to enter the generation of enterprise tools and join big players like Slack, KISSMetrics and Crimson Hexagon who are enjoying widespread adoption of their product across the world.
Market Prognosis expects the global marketing automation software market to register a compound annual growth rate of 7.56% over the forecast period of 2018-2023, which comes as no surprise since the value of marketing automation has over the years, advanced at a great pace. Marketing automation technology vendors have gone to great lengths to provide essential tools for small, medium and enterprise businesses to communicate with customers both existing and potential. They've also made sure these tools seamlessly integrate with channels such as social media, paid search, e-mail, display, content syndication, and mobile application so customers can find feasible solutions to information they request or enquire. HubSpot is on trend with capitalizing on this growth and continue to seamlessly integrate and create new enhancements to meet the needs of a growing customer base.
This announcement comes on the heels of many other enhancements as well. In our most recent post, we reviewed their latest product: Service Hub. Other expansions include the March 2018 announcement of its Sales Partner Program - a program to help sales coaches, business consultants, and CRM implementation companies generate business and retain their clients - made available in Latin America. Just shortly before, in February 2018, HubSpot became an official badged marketing partner with Facebook much accredited to its capabilities, deep expertise, and long track record of success in advertising technology.
These continual expansions of services and products are a result of HubSpot's commitment to listening to the customer and the sector needs and wants, and regular extensive research in the betterment of their current products and services or the creation of new ones.
According to HubSpot CEO Brian Halligan, this move in the direction of the enterprise CRM market traditionally dominated by Microsoft and Salesforce is the result of a significant R&D investment.
64% of sales managers (mainly in the UK and US) experience undesired challenges in the way they report on the performance of their teams.
On average, sales managers are spending 60% of their time working on administrative tasks.
Nearly seven out of every ten sales contracts require approval from either a legal department, product manager or senior executive before sign-off.
The new HubSpot Sales Hub Enterprise was developed with these challenges in mind, and its features will address these salesperson and team manager's needs.
As first signaled in a post that gave followers and clients a preview of announcements at the upcoming INBOUND 18, HubSpot highlighted the launch of major upgrades for their Enterprise products, including its Marketing Hub, Sales Hub product, Service Hub, and new Growth Suite bundles.
HubSpot's Sales Hub Enterprise is designed to help advanced sales teams improve efficiency, reduce time spent on administrative tasks and increase the time spent on selling. These updates are in turn to better support the needs of large, sophisticated teams and provide advanced tools for growing organizations without the complexity.
The individual features that make up the Enterprise Growth Platform as a whole were designed to help sales teams improve their efficiencies, reduce time spent on administrative tasks and increase time spent on what they do best: selling.
Scalable Marketing Tools - Scale up as your business grows with advanced controls over your marketing – such as custom analytic reporting and enhanced social permissions - and automate your optimization with machine learning allowing you to focus on more mission-critical tasks.
Personalization, Personalization, Personalization - Customize the entire buying journey, streamline marketing and sales alignment, and deliver personalized content with features partitioning, recommendations and membership based.
Make Sales Easy, Not Complex - Harness the power of the CRM and sales acceleration tools such as advanced deal management and attribution reporting to manage sophisticated sales motions and keep deals moving forward. Additionally, the new Sales Hub Enterprise platform will see a resource feature hybrid called Sales Playbooks that will allow users to build a library of best practices and resources for the team.
This new business angle signals the increasing popularity and moves towards enterprise development for software, especially in the digital space. More companies and users are genuinely looking for a single solution that will scale with their business as they grow in client and team size, but also in what they offer concerning products and services.
Putting client feedback, research and R&D at the forefront of their development also showcases the dedication and commitment from HubSpot on listening to their users and the sector to make enhancements.
Finally, with HubSpot stepping into the ring, it will be interesting to see how this may influence the release of new features, platforms or service and pricing models of the more significant players like Salesforce and Microsoft.

Elmer E. Fryar
Medal of Honor Recipient Conspicuous Bravery
Posthumous Award
Organization: U.S. Army, Company E, 511th Parachute Infantry, 11th Airborne Division
Place and date: Leyte, Philippine Islands, 8 December 1944
Entered service at: Denver, Colorado. Birth: Denver, Colo.
G.O. No.: 35, 9 May 1945
Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Pvt. Fryar´s battalion encountered the enemy strongly entrenched in a position supported by mortars and automatic weapens. The battalion attacked, but in spite of repeated efforts was uanble to take the position.
Pvt. Fryar´s company was ordered to cover the battalion´s withdrawal to a more suitable point from which to attack, but the enemy launched a strong counterattack which threatened of cut off the company. Seeing an enemy platoon moving to outflank his company, he moved to higher ground and opened heavy and accurate fire. He was hit, and wounded, but continuing his attack he drove the enemy back with a loss of 27 killed.
While withdrawing to overtake his squad, he found a seriously wounded comrade, helped him to the rear, and soon overtook his platoon leader, who was assisting another wounded. While these 4 were moving to rejoin their platoon, an enemy sniper appeared and aimed his weapon at the platoon leader. Pvt. Fryar instantly sprang forward, received the full burst of automatic fire in his own body and fell mortally wounded. With his remaining strength he threw a hand grenade and killed the sniper.
Pvt. Fryar´s indomitable fighting spirit and extraordinary gallantry above and beyond the call of duty contributed outstandingly to the success of the battalion´s withdrawal and its subsequent attack and defeat of the enemy. His heroic action in unhesitatingly giving his own life for his comrade in arms exemplifies the highest tradition of the U.S. Armed Forces.

GUO FLUTES
Sherry Finzer
Review of Sherry Finzer's "Transcendence"
Transcendence REVIEW BY JANET MAWDESLEY APRIL 10, 2020
Hauntingly beautiful, this solo flute album from Sherry Finzer is simply put, a journey that is timeless, absorbing and infinitely soothing. Recorded at The Tank in Colorado, the single voice of the flute is transformed into a melodic and ethereal language of absolute peace and tranquility.
Transcendence moves beyond the everyday world of 'new age' music to create a sea of tranquility with an otherworldly ambiance; pure, simple which because of this simplicity, has an aura of delicacy that moves well beyond the physical plane.
The Tank is a venue much coveted by musicians for the unique reverberation created as notes are formed, a reverberation that allows the note to be drawn out, to linger, offering a unique sound unable to be created or formed in any other manner.
A rare addition to the music formed within The Tank is the sound of nature, the breath of the musician, the sound of the keys being depressed which are all captured in the recording process, adding to the absolute charm of the music.
Finzer has harnessed these distinct characteristics to create an album woven with a delicate touch, an improve collection which is dreamy, relaxing and inspirational.
Originally constructed as a water tank for the Steam Trains in 1940 but never used as such, The Tank was moved to Rangely, Colorado, in the 1960's, where it was once again never used, as the location proved unsuitable for the weight of the tank, once filled with water. Abandoned, it became the haunt of locals who were familiar with the wonderful acoustics. A group of musicians heading home stopped off at The Tank, realising the potential of the acoustics. They eventually purchased it and in doing so created a unique recording studio which was carefully kept secret for some years. Now invited musicians can use the wonderful venue to create some of the most unique music recorded with instruments, rather than electronically.
Sherry Finzer hopes this gloriously peaceful collection brings with it a sense hope, peace and tranquility, which I can say after listening to this work a number of times, it certainly does, offering a moment of peace, Transcendence, in a world so recently very changed.

In an election that year, when he handed his Department of Veterans Affairs card to the registrar, he was turned away. No matter that he had used that ID for more than 50 years without a problem. Texas had recently passed a burdensome and unnecessary law that required voters to show a state-approved ID with a photo. His card didn't have one.
Voters across the country are now realizing that they, too, have crossed into the twilight zone: citizens of America without full citizenship rights. The right to vote is central to American democracy. "It's preservative of all rights," as the Supreme Court said in its 1886 ruling in Yick Wo v. Hopkins. But chipping away at access to that right has been a central electoral strategy for Republicans.
Anthony Settles, a Texas retiree, had been repeatedly blocked from the ballot box because his mother changed his last name when he was a teenager, and that 50-year-old paperwork was lost in what he described as a "bureaucratic nightmare." After spending months looking for the wayward document, and then trying to get certified by the name he has used for more than half a century, he knew, beyond all doubt, that he had been targeted.
That was the point. Demoralize people. Strip away their voting rights. Debase their citizenship. Dilute the diversity of voters until the electorate becomes homogeneous. Lie and say it's because of voter fraud. But most important, do all of this in the name of saving democracy.
Rampant voter fraud does not exist. There is no epidemic of illegal voting. But the lie is so mesmerizing, it takes off like a wildfire, so that the irrational fear that someone might vote who shouldn't means that hundreds of thousands who should can't cast ballots, in part because of the increase in voter ID laws across the country in recent years.
The best way to understand the lie is to understand how it began: on Election Day in 2000. What happened then affects who will show up to vote in less than two months, and how confident they'll feel when they get to the polls.
Florida's electoral malfeasance in the 2000 vote is infamous. But that election in St. Louis was also a disaster, and it taught the Republicans an important lesson: Block people of color from polling places by any means necessary. And it showed them, point by point, how to create a voter suppression road map that is paying dividends today.
The St. Louis Board of Elections had purged some 50,000 names from the voter rolls, primarily in key Democratic precincts. And it had failed to notify the people who had just been stripped of their vote, as the law required.
So when those voters showed up to cast their ballots, they were told they were no longer registered. Besieged precinct workers couldn't get through on the jammed phone lines to check much of anything. Some opted to send frustrated would-be voters downtown to the Board of Elections office to resolve the issue there.
This combination of poor record keeping and ill-prepared officials meant that hours and hours dissolved as the clock on Election Day wound down. When the polls were about to close, the lobby was still packed with people waiting to cast their ballots.
Democrats filed for an injunction to keep precincts open to accommodate voters who had been caught in the Board of Elections runaround. A circuit court judge agreed and ordered the polls to stay open for a few more hours.
Republicans were not having it. Senator Christopher Bond said the voting extension "represents the biggest fraud on the voters in this state and nation that we have ever seen." Others made the case that this was just a Democratic maneuver that would result in hundreds of fraudulent votes.
Republicans filed an appeal to close the polls. A state appeals court obliged. Shortly after the circuit court's decision, the doors slammed shut on hundreds of people waiting in lines to vote.
Missouri Republicans twisted this clear case of election board wrongdoing into a torrent of accusations against the Democrats and the overwhelmingly black residents of St. Louis. Missouri's Republican secretary of state, Matt Blunt, called the effort to keep the polls open an attempt "to create bedlam so that election fraud could be perpetrated." Senator Bond went further: It was a "brazen" and "shocking" effort to commit voter fraud.
It was, of course, nothing of the sort. Instead, it was an illegitimate purge of approximately 49,589 eligible voters by the Board of Elections. It was also sloppy record-keeping and bureaucratic malfeasance. But, for the Republicans, that was not the point. Rather, it was about fine-tuning a voter suppression master plan. They learned three key lessons from the bungled election.
The first lesson was that demographics were not destiny. The voting-age population was becoming less white and more African-American, Latino and Asian. In 1992, nonwhite voters made up 13 percent of the American electorate. By 2012 that figure had risen to 28 percent. That growing share of the electorate favored the Democrats. A poll by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies in the late 1980s found that only one in two black Republicans thought his party cared about problems facing the black community. In the 2000 presidential election, nine in 10 black voters, 62 percent of Hispanic voters and just over half of all Asian voters backed Al Gore.

Did you know that tree roots cause up to 90% of sewer backups and blockages? Unfortunately, tree roots flourish in the sewer system, seeking and thriving off of the nutrients found in the pipes below us. Gross right? Very. Fortunately for you, DRC's formula is engineered to kill the roots present, without killing the trees that beautify our city.
In general, most plants are very similar in nature as to how they grow. Traditional methods of removing roots from pipes was to cut them out. Well what happens when you trim your roses or cut your grass? It grows back stronger and faster and the same thing happens to the roots in the pipes.
Root control is and always has been a struggle for municipalities trying to reduce or prevent Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO's). SSO's cause pollution and are a major health risk for the community and the environment.
DRC utilizes the Sanafoam Vaporooter II* formula which was developed nearly 50 years ago when government agencies from around the country convened to find a solution to the damage caused by roots in the sewer.
DRC is proud to bring this same technology to the residential market to save you from the headaches, and high costs of backups and sewer line failures.
Get piece of mind through our annual service plans and no root growth guarantee.
Sewer failure does not happen overnight. A large percentage of pipe blockages in sewers are caused by tree roots growing in sewer pipes.

Q: Field calculation based on the field name by using arcpy The shapefile table is like this.

I want to do the sum of cells when their field names meet the condition. In this case, I want to sum the cells to the TotalCT field if the field name contains the string "CT". The manual way is to do it like this.

But this is only a very small example. I wonder how can I realize it with Python or Arcpy code?

A: You seem to know how to do this in the ArcGIS Field Calculator.
Instead, do exactly the same thing using the Calculate Field tool, taking care to set your parser to Python.
Once you have run the tool you can use the Geoprocessing | Results window to locate and right-click on the tool to Copy As Python Snippet.

When Laughter Really is the Best Medicine
While many of are struggling during Melbourne's lockdown, Director of Student Wellbeing Brett Borbely, considers the invaluable role that laughter plays in helping us cope even as fatigue sets in.
It is often said "laughter is the best medicine". This is true because other than simply communicating joy, laughter has both psychological and physical benefits. While Victoria State navigates through this sixth lockdown, these benefits are crucial as feelings of exhaustion and frustration can easily present themselves.
Without knowing what the future holds or how long the transitions between onsite and offsite learning will repeat, some are struggling to find motivation and focus. While these feelings are understandable and normal, all must be proactive in working to keep spirits high, purpose clear and hope afloat. And laughter is one, free and accessible way to support these lofty aspirations.
Research has well documented that laughter and humour have enormous benefits, including psychological, physical and relational advantages.
Humour activates the release of the happiness hormones in the brain, particularly endorphins and serotonin. Endorphins, known as the 'natural pain killer', help alleviate feelings of pain and reduce anxiety, and serotonin, known as 'the mood stabilising hormone', leads to feelings of psychological safety, belonging, and self-belief.
Due to the psychological advantages of laughter, cackling can also improve learning outcomes "by attracting and sustaining attention, reducing anxiety, enhancing participation and increasing motivation" (Savage et al. 2017).
Chuckling increases the amount of oxygen one breathes in, which in turn, fuels the heart, lungs and muscles. This process naturally increases and then decreases one's heart rate and blood pressure, supports muscle relaxation and can help with blood flow and circulation. Thus, both physical and psychological stresses decrease when this happens.
Laughter also activates T-cells within the body, which are specialised cells that support the immune system and help protect the body from foreign particles and guard against illness.
Lastly, laughing is often contagious, and as such, it forms bonds and connections with others. Because of the release of serotonin, uplifting humour gives individuals a sense of belonging and calmness, which strengthen ties between people and further build their relationships.
Of course, humour that is insensitive or offensive to another person does not have the same benefits, as it often fuels disconnection and increases stress. Therefore, it is necessary to remember that the type of humour and the catalyst for the laughter are crucial aspects to enjoying all of the benefits outlined.
So, while people across the State of Victoria navigate through this lockdown, and any other possible future lockdowns, it is important to remember the benefits of laughter. Watch funny YouTube clips, listen to a favourite comedian, call a friend and be silly together. Do whatever is necessary to keep the laughter going long into the future.

Automated services begin on Paris Line 1
PIERRE Mongin, chairman and CEO of Paris Transport Authority (RATP), inaugurated the commissioning of the first automatic driverless trains for Line 1 of the Paris metro at a ceremony held today.
Mr Mongin was joined by Ms Nathalie Koscisusko-Morizet, French minister for ecology, sustainable development, transport and housing, and Mr Jean-Paul Huchon, president of the îl-de-France regional council, to commemorate the event, which RATP says is the first time that a metro line has been automated without an interruption to services.
Eight automatic driverless trains have been introduced on the line which will initially run in tandem with manually-operated trains. Two additional trains will be added each month until December 2012 when all 49 trains that operate on the 16.6km east-west line will be entirely automated.
The trains will then be capable of running at 85 second headways, compared with 105 seconds at present.
Siemens was awarded the contract to automate the line in November 2005 and has delivered its Trainguard MT CBTC solution, control centre, which controls train movements, and 954 platform screen doors for each of the line's platforms.
The cost of the project to automate the line, which serves up to 725,000 passengers per day and is the busiest on the Paris metro, is Euros 600m. This is the second fully-automatic driverless line in Paris following Line 14, which was built as a driverless line from the outset.

Q: How to Convert Complex Nested JSON Structure to CSV File Using Python? My json string:

{

Using Python I am trying to get the following ouput in excel:

Link of online tool for converting json to excel: https://products.aspose.app/cells/conversion/json-to-xlsx
In Jupyter I have tried this:
import json
    with open("E:/TP/json_to_csv/json_data.json", "r") as read_file:
        data = json.load(read_file)
        print(data)
        print(type(data))
    df = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(data)
    df

But I am getting this error:
ValueError: Mixing dicts with non-Series may lead to ambiguous ordering.

I have also tried this code:
import json
import pandas as pd
with open('E:/TP/json_to_csv/json_data.json', 'r') as f:
  data = json.load(f)
df1=pd.json_normalize(data['data'])
dfu=df1.explode('users')
shift=pd.DataFrame(dfu['users'].apply(pd.Series))
t=shift.explode('shifts')
t.to_csv('E:/TP/json_to_csv2.csv')

Which gives this result

How do I proceed further? I am stuck. Any help is appreciated :)


Distributed and causal influence of frontal operculum in task control.
Higo T., Mars RB., Boorman ED., Buch ER., Rushworth MFS.
It has been suggested that the frontal operculum (fO) is a key node in a network for exerting control over cognitive processes. How it exerts this influence, however, has been unclear. Here, using the complementary approaches of functional MRI and transcranial magnetic stimulation, we have shown that the fO regulates increases and decreases of activity in multiple occipitotemporal cortical areas when task performance depended on directing attention to different classes of stimuli held in memory. Only one region, the fO, was significantly more active when subjects selectively attended to a single stimulus so that it determined task performance. The stimuli that guided task performance could belong to three categories--houses, body parts, and faces--associated with three occipitotemporal regions. On each trial, the pattern of functional correlation between the fO and the three occipitotemporal regions became either positive or negative, depending on which stimulus was to be attended and which ignored. Activation of the fO preceded both activity increases and decreases in the occipitotemporal cortex. The causal dependency of the distributed occipitotemporal pattern of activity increases and decreases on the fO was demonstrated by showing that transcranial magnetic stimulation-mediated interference of the fO diminished top-down selective attentional modulation in the occipitotemporal cortex, but it did not alter bottom-up activation of the same areas to the same stimuli when they were presented in isolation. The fO's prominence in cognitive control may stem from a role in regulating the level of activity of representations in posterior brain areas that are relevant or irrelevant, respectively, for response selection.
