Conor David Coady (born 25 February 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Everton, on loan from fellow  club  Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the England national team.

Coady came through the academy system at Liverpool and made two appearances for the first team before spending a season on loan at Sheffield United and then moving to Huddersfield Town on a permanent transfer in 2014. A year later he signed for Wolverhampton Wanderers for £2 million and has played over 300 games for the club, winning the Championship in the 2017–18 season.

Coady represented England at youth level, being named in the team of the tournament as England won the 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and captaining the England under-20 team at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He made his debut for the senior team in 2020 and was part of the squad that came runners-up at UEFA Euro 2020.

Early life
Coady was born in St Helens, Merseyside, and grew up in nearby Haydock. He is of Irish descent through a grandparent. He attended Bleak Hill Primary School, Windle and Rainford High Technology College. He grew up supporting Liverpool F.C.

Club career

Liverpool
Coady is a product of the Liverpool Youth Academy after joining the club in 2005. During the 2010–11 season, Coady was on the fringes of the first team, making the substitutes' bench twice but failed to make a first-team appearance. Coady played every Reserve League and NextGen Series match during the 2011–12 season, scoring five goals. Despite being named in the senior squad list and being called up to the senior squad occasionally from 2009, he did not make his senior debut until 8 November 2012 in a UEFA Europa League group stage match against Anzhi Makhachkala. After Andre Wisdom's promotion as a full-time senior squad member, Conor Coady was installed as full-time captain of the Under-21 squad and on 12 May 2013 he made his Premier League debut in a 3–1 win at Fulham.

Coady agreed a six-month loan with League One club Sheffield United on 22 July 2013, later stating that he had turned down the chance to go on Liverpool's pre-season tour of Australia and the Far East in order to join up with his new club. Coady made his debut for the Blades in the opening fixture of the following season, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 home victory over Notts County, and made his first start for the club in the following game, a League Cup first round defeat to League Two club Burton Albion.

Coady scored his first senior goal in a 1–1 draw at Leyton Orient on 30 November 2013. Having been in and out of the team during the first half of the season, Coady began to cement a regular first-team place over the Christmas period, prompting United to extend his loan spell during the January transfer window, and once more in February to extend his stay until the end of the season. Coady played regularly for the Blades for the remainder of the season including playing on the losing side in the 5-3 loss to Hull City in the FA Cup semi-final  and returned to Anfield having played 50 games and scored 6 goals.

Huddersfield Town
On 6 August 2014, Coady signed for Championship club Huddersfield Town on a three-year contract for a fee believed to be around £500,000. He made his debut as a substitute in the 4–0 defeat by AFC Bournemouth on 9 August. On 1 October, he scored his first goal for the club against Wolverhampton Wanderers where Town won 3–1 at Molineux Stadium. He again found the net, this time in a 2–2 draw against Rotherham United.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

On 3 July 2015, Coady signed for Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £2 million. He scored his first goal for Wolves in a 2–1 EFL Cup first round win against Crawley Town on 9 August 2016.

Under new head coach Nuno Espírito Santo, Coady moved to the centre of a three-man defence for Wolves from the 2017–18 season onward, where he spent much of the season as club captain, and has been full-time captain since the club's return to the Premier League from the 2018–19 season. In September 2017 he signed a new four-year contract. On 21 April 2018, during his 120th league appearance for Wolves, he scored a 66th-minute penalty in a 4–0 win against Bolton Wanderers to record his first league goal for the club, as Wolves sealed the Championship title.

On 15 February 2019, Coady signed a new contract lasting to June 2023. He was an ever-present player for Wolves in both the 2018–19 and 2019–20 Premier League seasons, in which they finished 7th in both cases. He also played every minute of Wolves' Europa League campaign in 2019–20 as they reached the quarter-finals. At the end of the competition, he was named in UEFA's Squad of the Season.

On 30 September 2020, three weeks after Coady won his first full England cap, he signed a new five-year deal with the club, keeping him at Wolves until 2025. In late November, he missed the game against Southampton as he had been in contact with a person diagnosed with COVID-19; this broke an 84-game streak of playing every minute (7,560 in total), third-best for outfield players in the history of the Premier League.

On 2 March 2021, Coady scored his first-ever Premier League goal, a header, in a 1–4 away defeat to Manchester City. His first home goal in the league was the following 15 January, on his 298th appearance for the club, in a 3–1 victory over Southampton. On 5 February 2022, he made his 300th competitive appearance for Wolves against Norwich City at home in the 4th round of the FA Cup. He scored the only goal on 13 March in a win at Everton that constituted Wolves's 1,000th win in top-flight football (over 67 seasons dating back to 1888) and also sealed their first league double over that opponent since 1972–73.

Loan to Everton
On 8 August 2022, Coady signed for Premier League club Everton on a season-long loan with an option to buy. He made his debut five days later in a 2–1 loss at Aston Villa, leaving the game with a late injury. On 3 September, he put the ball in the net in the Merseyside derby against his childhood team Liverpool, but it was ruled offside in a goalless draw. On 1 October 2022, Coady scored his first goal for Everton in a 2-1 away win against Southampton.

International career
Coady has represented England from under-16 to under-20 youth levels. He has been capped 17 times for the England national under-17 football team. He played and captained the England team at the 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Liechtenstein where he and his England colleagues won the tournament, and became the first England team to win an international tournament in 17 years. He was then part of the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Estonia in which England got as far as the semi-finals where they were knocked out by Greece. He was named captain of the England under-20 team by manager Peter Taylor for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He made his debut for the team on 16 June, in a 3–0 win in a warm-up game against Uruguay. On 23 June, he scored in the opening group-stage game against Iraq.

In August 2020 Coady was called up to the England senior squad by Gareth Southgate for the Nations League matches against Iceland and Denmark, starting in central defence against the latter on 8 September in a 0–0 draw, and in doing so becoming the first Wolves player to start for England since Steve Bull in 1990. Coady was awarded man of the match by Sky Sports. On 8 October 2020, Coady scored his first goal for England in his second appearance, a 3–0 friendly win against Wales at Wembley.

Coady was in the England squad that came runners-up at UEFA Euro 2020, held in 2021. Though he did not play any games, he was dubbed England's "player of the tournament" by assistant manager Steve Holland, who believed that his presence in the team's camp was similar to that of John Terry when he played less often in his final years at Chelsea.

Personal life
In November 2021, Coady was named Football Ally of the Year at the British LGBT Awards for his outspoken support for gay footballers. Coady said that "Equality is a massive word, and when it comes to LGBTQ stuff, I'm big on making people feel involved." Coady concluded that in his team "[criticising a player based on their sexuality] would never be the case within [our] dressing room."

Q: Differences in currency number formatter I have a local vagrant vm, which has identical php/mysql versions to live servers. Im trying to format decimal to currency with currency symbol.
My approach:
    $fmt = new \NumberFormatter('lt_LT', \NumberFormatter::CURRENCY);
    return $fmt->formatCurrency(1598, 'EUR');

Everything would be great, but in vagrant vm the result is 1,598.00 € and in live server: 1 598,00 €
Tried searching settings in php.ini, but with no luck. Why the results are different? (lt_LT is Lithuanian locale).

A: Results are different because it's depend of your local which must be different between your vagrant vm and your live servers.

APR Is Set With Pair of VW's Continental Tire Sports Challenge
5:15 PM PST - 1/24/2013 Written By: APR LLC
Michael Taylor to become youngest-ever driver in CTSCC, while race-winner Aleks Altberg to partner with Diego Duez in second APR Motorsport VW
Looking to continue its race winning tradition in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, APR Motorsport has finalized its driver lineup for this weekend's BMW Performance 200 at Daytona International Speedway.
In addition to the no. 171 APR VW that will be driven by South African rookie Michael Taylor and GRAND-AM veteran Ian Baas, Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge race-winner Aleks Altberg, from Renton, Washington will partner with Diego Duez, from Cuernavaca, Mexico, in the team's no. 181 APR VW Jetta GLI. Altberg, who will enter his second year in the CTSCC and APR, took his maiden win in 2012 at Elkhart Lake in a nail-biting race that saw him withstand heavy pressure in the final laps as he nursed home a car that was both out of fuel and out of tires. Duez, who has been an VW Motorsports Factory driver in his Mexico for three seasons, drove in 2012 in the VW Polo R Cup in India.
"It's great to be returning to the CTSCC with APR Motorsport," said Altberg. "The effort this year is more focused and I'm coming in with more confidence. Last year I think we had the pace to be at the front more often than we were, and now I think I know how to get to the front and stay at the front. I'm really looking forward to working with Diego and with APR again this year."
Duez is eager to parlay his international experience behind the wheel of VW's into the CTSCC with APR Motorsport.
"The whole team is working very hard, and I am looking forward to my first race here in Daytona,"said Duez. "The level of competition is very high and the Daytona track is a new experience for me. It's going to be a very exciting weekend and I am looking forward to racing the APR Jetta GLI on Friday."
Taylor, who is also a rookie to the CTSCC, will enter Daytona with the benefit of having spent time behind the wheel of the APR VW's under the guidance of Baas. At sixteen years old, Taylor will become the youngest driver in series history.
"It's very exciting to be here at Daytona for the first race of the season,"said Taylor. "Ian has helped me to get up to speed and the Jetta GLI was really fun and easy to drive. From what I have seen we will have a very competitive car for the race and my job will be to give it to Ian in good shape and near the front of the field. It's exciting to be the youngest driver in the history of the CTSCC, but now I'd like to become the youngest winner!"
Since entering the championship in 2009, APR Motorsport has won each season it has competed in the CTSCC. Baas, who has four ST-class wins in the CTSCC with APR Motorsport, will also drive the no. 52 APR Audi R8 GRAND-AM in this weekend's Rolex 24 at Daytona.
"I'm really excited to be back in ST this season,"said Baas. "With Mikey and our APR VW's, we have a very fast combination that can win races and contend for the championship. Every year the level of competition in the ST class goes up , and APR has stepped up their game as well. Daytona should be a good track for our cars and I'm really looking forward to the race."
The BMW Performance 200 from Daytona International Speedway will be broadcast on February 2 at 4:00 PM ET on SPEED Channel.

Q: How to access the item after in a SortedSet How to access the item after in a SortedSet?
string entry;
private SortedSet<string> pastEntriesSS = new SortedSet<string>(StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

entry = entry.Replace("\t", "").TrimStart();
entry = Regex.Replace(entry, @"\s+", " ");
string s = pastEntriesSS.FirstOrDefault(x => x.StartsWith(entry.Trim(), StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(s))
{
    if(string.Compare(s,entry.Trim(),true) == 0)
    {
        // what I what here is the entry after s
        // how do I get the index of s
        int index = -1;
        s = pastEntriesSS.ElementAt(index + 1);
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(s)) entry = s;
    }
    else
        entry = s;
}

This is used for an autocomplete and if they hit that tab on an exact match then I want to get the next
I think I was looking at this wrong
This is what I came up with
entry = entry.Replace("\t", "").TrimStart();
entry = Regex.Replace(entry, @"\s+", " ");
string s = pastEntriesSS.FirstOrDefault(x => x.StartsWith(entry, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(s))
{
    if(string.Compare(s,entry,true) == 0)
    {   // it they tabbed on an  exact match then go to next or prior
        if (Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.LeftShift) || Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.RightShift))
        {
            s = pastEntriesSS.Reverse().FirstOrDefault(x => string.Compare(x, s, true) < 0);
        }
        else
        {
            s = pastEntriesSS.FirstOrDefault(x => string.Compare(x, s, true) > 0);
        }
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(s)) entry = s;
    }
    else
        entry = s;
}

A: If I understand correctly, you are trying to get the index of the value s, then retrieve the element right after it.
You could accomplish this with an extension method that retrieves the index of s:
public static class MyExtensions
{
    public static int IndexOf<T>(this SortedSet<T> mySet, T val)
    {
        int index = 0;
        foreach (T el in mySet) {
            if (mySet.Comparer.Compare(el, val) == 0) {
                return index;
            }
            index++;
        }
        return -1;
    }

    public static int IndexOf<T>(this SortedSet<T> mySet, T val, IEqualityComparer<T> comparer)
    {
        int index = 0;
        foreach (T el in mySet) {
            if (comparer.Equals(val, el)) {
                return index;
            }
            index++;
        }
        return -1;
    }
}

Which let's you call IndexOf on your set:
int index = pastEntriesSS.IndexOf(s);
if (index >= 0)
{
    s = pastEntriesSS.ElementAt(index + 1);
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(s)) entry = s;
}

A: Using the logic provided by the asker, here is a way to provide ElementBefore and ElementAfter access to any SortedSet using extension methods:
public static class BeforeAfterExtension
{
    //The true workhorse of the code!
    public static T ElementBefore<T>(this SortedSet<T> mySet, T val, IComparer<T> comparer)
    {
        //we are getting the first element el such that it is before
        //the provided value val. We must reverse the set because
        //otherwise, the first element in the set is always the first
        //to be less than the provided value.
        return mySet.Reverse().FirstOrDefault(el => comparer.Compare(el, val) < 0);
    }

    //Contains all the actual logic
    public static T ElementAfter<T>(this SortedSet<T> mySet, T val, IComparer<T> comparer)
    {
        //we are getting the first element el such that it is after
        //the provided value val.
        return mySet.FirstOrDefault(el => comparer.Compare(el, val) > 0);
    }

    //use the existing logic, but use the default comparer for the set
    public static T ElementBefore<T>(this SortedSet<T> mySet, T val)
    {
        return ElementBefore(mySet, val, mySet.Comparer);
    }

    //use the existing logic, but use the default comparer for the set
    public static T ElementAfter<T>(this SortedSet<T> mySet, T val)
    {
        return ElementAfter(mySet, val, mySet.Comparer);
    }

    //provide a condition that the element must already exist in the set
    //Consider a set of strings containing only "apple" and "cat"
    //without forcing the element to exist in the set, we could search for
    //the element before "bear" and get "apple" even though "bear" is not
    //in the set. Forcing the element to exist by setting mustExist=true
    //would return null if the element is not there already
    public static T ElementBefore<T>(this SortedSet<T> mySet, T val, bool mustExist, IComparer<T> comparer) {
    {
        if (mustExist)
        {
            if (mySet.Contains(val))
            {
                //take advantage of existing logic
                return ElementBefore(mySet, val, comparer);
            }
            else
            {
                return null;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            //take advantage of existing logic
            return ElementBefore(mySet, val, comparer);
        }
    }

    //provide a condition that the element must already exist in the set
    //Consider a set of strings containing only "apple" and "cat"
    //without forcing the element to exist in the set, we could search for
    //the element after "bear" and get "cat" even though "bear" is not
    //in the set. Forcing the element to exist by setting mustExist=true
    //would return null if the element is not there already
    public static T ElementBefore<T>(this SortedSet<T> mySet, T val, bool mustExist, IComparer<T> comparer) {
    {
        if (mustExist)
        {
            if (mySet.Contains(val))
            {
                //take advantage of existing logic
                return ElementAfter(mySet, val, comparer);
            }
            else
            {
                return null;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            //take advantage of existing logic
            return ElementAfter(mySet, val, comparer);
        }
    }

    //just use the default set comparer
    public static T ElementBefore<T>(this SortedSet<T> mySet, T val, bool mustExist)
    {
        //take advantage of existing logic
        return ElementBefore(mySet, val, mustExist, mySet.Comparer);
    }

    //just use the default set comparer
    public static T ElementAfter<T>(this SortedSet<T> mySet, T val, bool mustExist)
    {
        //take advantage of existing logic
        return ElementAfter(mySet, val, mustExist, mySet.Comparer);
    }
}

There are some additional methods in there that allow the customization of the comparer used, and to require the element exists in the set.
Now all that is required is
if (Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.LeftShift) || Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.RightShift))
{
    s = pastEntriesSS.ElementBefore(s);
}
else
{
    s = pastEntriesSS.ElementAfter(s);
}

and this is extensible to sets containing any kind of object, not just strings

Killer Groove issue 1 is a solid opening to a series. It has a gripping story with outstanding Art from all involved. This comic is a must read for all fans of classic or modern crime stories.
Advanced Review: KILLER GROOVE Serves Up A Tasty Crime Story
By Darryll Robson
Murder, mystery and a fair share of music make up the first issue of Killer Groove from AfterShock Comics. Due out on 29 May, the new series is ready to take you by the scruff of the neck and give you a good shaking.
From the writer of The Kitchen for DC-Comics, which is currently being adapted for the big screen by Andrea Berloff, Killer Groove gets beneath the underbelly of 1970's L.A. life and focuses on desperate people in desperate situations.
Killer Groove #1 Credit AfterShock Comics
Jonny plays guitar and works behind a bar. His life hasn't turned out exactly as he hoped it would and his dreams of a musical career are slowly fading away. But fate has one more card to deal for Jonny and a chance meeting with the ruthless Ignatius puts Jonny on a whole new path.
Ollie Masters has written some outstanding crime stories, The Kitchen for DC and Snow Blind for BOOM! Studios for example, and Killer Grove starts off no different. He introduces a number of intriguing characters, seemingly unrelated, and then uses a series of events to slowly pull them together.
Just like any good noir mystery, the character interactions weave a tangled web, leading the reader from one scene to the next, constantly on the lookout for links and clues. Masters focuses on details within the characters' lives but also gives the reader an overview of the way they live. By the end of this first issue, we are fully integrated into the character's world.
The overall look of the comic is very 'matter of fact' with an attention to locale and design. The lighting used plays an important part in this, creating an aesthetic similar to the 1973 film version of The Long Goodbye. By deciding to move away from a stylised approach, like Titan Comics Triggerman or even Brubaker/Phillips' Criminal series, Eoin Marron injects a sense of realism into the comic. Killer Groove's style comes from the changing camera angles and attention to the characters.
The action is produced via clever compositions and changing panel layouts. For fast paced moments, Marron employs a high number of panels in a row. Each with a glimpse of the action, indicating the adrenaline rush and, in some cases, desperation felt by the characters. This approach has more in common with Japanese comics than its western peers. In fact, Marron uses a number of techniques common in Manga to tell the story; switching camera angles focusing on single characters instead of group shots; an increase in panels for short moments of action. The outcome of this is that the reader is provided with a lot more information in smaller, more focused panels, allowing the images to feed the mystery element of the comic, just like the classic Noir movies of the 1940's.
Where the pencils and inks are the informative aspect of the narrative, the colors represent the atmosphere and emotion. Jordie Bellaire produces a sun bleached motif which runs through the comic giving it a worn out, almost tiring, feel. The backgrounds become blocks of color at pivotal moments to emphasis the foreground but also to enhance the emotional context. For example, the background in the bar changes to reflect Jonny's mood as his day drags on.
Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou has a unique style for the lettering. Everything looks hand drawn giving the speech extra character with physical inflections beyond a simple bolding of text. The speech balloons are purposefully inconsistent with tails that lack a point. The has the effect of making each character seem abrupt and stand-offish. They have all built walls around themselves and, for whatever reason, don't let anyone in.
Otsmane-Elhaou also injects the sound effects with some dynamism. The bright colors and the movement lines add an extra dimension, emphasising the onomatopoeic words. In turn they make the action lively and those panels stand out on the page. In most cases there is only one sound effect on a page and in that instance the panel with the sound effect becomes the focal point of the page with the narrative revolving around it.
There are only a handful of good crime comics on the market, and a number of those employ a gimmick to make them stand out; such as last years' successful series Abbott from BOOM! Studios which included a supernatural element. However, Killer Groove is a straight up, historical crime story which draws inspiration from cinema and literary classics. There is an element of Raymond Chandler and Mikey Spillane in these pages but also more modern influences like Brubaker and Max Allan Collins.
As first issues go, this has everything you want. It sets the tone, introduces the characters and lays the groundwork for the narrative to follow. There is plenty going on and Ollie Masters controls the pacing beautifully. With a striking visual and unique details in lettering and coloring, Killer Groove is a title to keep a close eye on.

Valerie Marchini: What Is Your Story's Hook?
What Is Your Story's Hook?
Simply stated, your hook is what makes your book unique. Your hook is just as important as your story's characters, plot, climax and resolution, if not more. Can the reader relate to the hook, is it marketable and will the reader feel it's worth their time?
Once you've identified your hook, ask yourself, would an age appropriate reader for your story care about it. For example, would an 11-year-old boy care if his mother got a promotion and his father stayed home doing childcare? Probably not, but he would care if his whole family went on vacation and left him home alone.
Your hook can be a statement or a question.
In THIS TINY PERFECT WORLD by Lauren Gibaldi, will Penn stay in her small town and marry her boyfriend or will she leave and pursue her dream of acting in a big city?
In GEMINI by Sonya Mukherjee, Clara, a conjoined twin wants surgical separation, but her twin, Hailey, does not. Can Clara convince Hailey to have the surgery?
IF I STAY by Gayle Forman, after a tragic car accident leaves Mia in a coma, she must choose to fight for a life without her parents and brother or give up and die.
RAIN REIGN by Ann M. Martin, Rose, a girl with autism, has to decide whether to look for her lost dog or stay home where it's safe and familiar, but never see her dog again.
FAR FROM THE TREE by Robin Benway, Grace, who always knew she was adopted, tells her adoptive parents that she wants to find her birth mother.
Think about some of your favorite stories. What made you read the book? A good exercise to help you identify and write your hook is to read the back cover of novels. You can also include your hook in your query letter.
Before you spend months or years working on your novel, spend time thinking of a hook that is identifiable, unique, one that is strong enough to be turned into a book (a product that can be sold) and one that a reader will care about.

Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add flour and cook, stirring frequently, for several minutes until flour just starts to brown.Add beef broth, stirring constantly. While continuing to stir, bring to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. (I find it helpful to remove pan from heat to do the stirring, then return it to the heat to cook and thicken it.)Stir in cooked meat and vegetables. The filling might look a little pale at this point. Stir in browning sauce to achieve a more appetizing color. Set filling aside until crust is made.Line a 9×13 glass baking dish with crust. Add filling, then top with crust. Seal edges and cut vents. Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes or until crust has browned as desired. Remove from oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
Combine flour and salt, then cut butter into flour until mixture resembles small crumbs (I use a food processor for this).
In a small bowl, beat egg with water and vinegar.
Add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Roll dough on well-floured surface.

Press Release: The Home in the Digital Age | February 2019
News Digest from HRF/STI Experts' Meeting: The Home in the Digital Age
25- 26 February 2019 The Royal Society of Medicine, London
Vision and Background
We live in in a world where technological advance and above all the astonishing pace of change is challenging many of the values and modus operandi we have long taken for granted. Much of this change coupled with the increased transparency which comes with it is undoubtedly for the good of society and especially disadvantaged minorities but equally there is no doubt that some of its use or abuse can be threatening.
Within this political and societal maelstrom the aim of Home Renaissance Foundation is to raise awareness of the home as a vital contributor to individual and social wellbeing. Our work is through research and academic meetings on current relevant trends and challenges. There can be few trends more relevant and challenging than the one identified as the focus of this current Experts' Meeting: The Home in the Digital Age. What are the contributions – and what are the dangers – of Artificial Intelligence in our homes?
The meeting brings together world-class expertise from fields of computational logic, digital economics, sociology, philosophy of science and architecture. The discussion promises to bring light to an area often ignored by academics and the media: the Home Front.
Much attention has been given to the effects of AI on individuals and on the workplace. Far less has been written or discussed on the implications on the new technologies on the life and work of the home. The home though is truly the front line for many of these developments. HRF has been ground-breaking in raising awareness of this. The home, common to us all, is often lost in plain sight. By channeling attention to the specific context of the home HRF intends to sharpen the focus of the AI debate.
Relevant and resonant questions for the meeting and for society include:
How are these new technologies changing the perception of our bodies, our sense of belonging, and social relationships?
How can we make best use of the opportunities offered by AI and what should we protect in the context of the home and household?
What might be the specific benefits and the specific costs of how the new technologies can enhance children's growth, their social integration, intergenerational relationships in the domestic environment, and the care of the elderly?
It was fully expected and encouraged that within the presentations other areas of discussion and significance would be raised. The following news digest follows the key points of each presentation and the final section offers a summary and some pointers to the next stage.
Keynote Monday 25th February: Background to HRF
Professor Sophia Aguirre, Professor of Economics in the School of Business and Economics, Catholic University of America, Washington DC, USA, outlined the background to the research element of Home Renaissance Foundation: to give status and increased understanding of the work and life of the home and to provide an evidence base to inform and influence policy and decision making at a local, national and global level.
Session 1 AI, Automation and the Home.
Economic historian Dr Stephen Davies, Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), London, UK, gave a historical perspective on the anxieties associated with the new developments. Society has faced great technological shifts in the past and has found ways of adapting and making the most of them. The relevant strand from this presentation was that all discussion of the effects of AI on the labour market has focused on the workplace rather than the home context. "The home is not a central or explicit concern or topic of debate, the strengthening of the home and households and families is not an explicit goal of public policy. If it were the discussion of automation and its possible effects would have quite a different content and flavour." This point was reinforced by Dr Davies pointing out that only since the middle of the 20th Century have individuals been seen as the economic unit rather than the family or household. Looking forward he sees a return to home working with an emphasis on those things that cannot be made by machines, alongside the prediction that 80% of "white-collar" jobs including GPs and lawyers will be replaced by AI systems. The new era of the artisan will have many implications for the domestic sphere. Will there be a return to the pre-industrial model of home as undifferentiated economic and domestic value?
Session 2 The impact of AI on Employment.
Economist Dr Mia Mikic, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, Bangkok, Thailand, picked up on the strand introduced by Dr Davies that the economic impact of AI is broadly being seen as an impact on employment. In considering just 15 major developed and emerging economies the World Economic Forum predicts that frontier technological trends will lead to a net loss of over five million jobs by 2020. Dr Mikic developed a point of Dr Davies that even though many of these workers will be redeployed, the individual, familial and social upheaval of relocation, retraining and changed income levels is not factored into global forecasts and spreadsheets. Dr Mikic was keen to point out that although there are social benefits to much of the "almost intelligent" technology taking over many of the more dangerous tasks including bomb disposal, at the domestic level the benefits are harder to call. Key societal responses to the new technologies should be improving access to education in these new life-skills and ensuring inclusivity especially by encouraging women to play a full entrepreneurial role in the digital economy.
Dr Joy Malala, Strathmore University, Nairobi, Kenya, responded to this by drawing attention to the experience of Kenyans who have been enfranchised by the new "hand-held" technology that does not depend on a national infrastructure. The mobile revolution has put financial planning and educational opportunities literally into the hands of Kenyan householders. "99% of the population does not have a bank account, but they do have a phone."
Session 3 Digital Home: The Missing Element for a People-centered Digital Future.
Technology pioneer Mei Lin Fung, People-Centered Internet, World Economic Forum, shared statistics on the scale of our digital progress (e-addresses being contained in something the size of a beachball to now, exponentially, something the size of our sun) and placed them firmly in the context of their implications for our shared future: "We are at the 50/50 moment when half the world is connected to the internet. What happens when the other half come on line is in our hands. We have the opportunity to prioritize home and family above work – and still live well." Mei- Lin drew parallels with the pioneer families in the early days of the American West taking wagons across unknown and dangerous land with the journey we are on as a society on the digital frontier. She urged us to remember that on those wagons, along with food and arms, they also took pianos. We need to have on board the things that build good homes and lives. "Understanding what the Digital Home could be- a safe, welcoming and happy place where people together expand their social and economic activities…is an important endeavour." "The home is the custodian of what is shared and what is private. The node that connects and protects wider communities." Mei Lin concluded with a call for a "Renaissance in research about the home for humanity." We need a seat at the table and a piano on the wagon.
Deborah Gale, Global Institute of Experienced Entrepreneurship, co-author of the presentation added her plea for active participation and leadership in the regulation and planning for the digital future. This was echoed by Lord Best responding to the question "Is the internet too big and too disparate for regulation?" and calling for urgent engagement in providing good regulatory guidance and safeguards. A point developed by Professor Sonia Livingstone in her keynote presentation. (See below.)
Session 4 Contested Homes in the Age of the Cloud.
Professor Gamal Abdelmonem, Chair in Architecture and the Director of the Centre for Architecture, Urbanism and Global Heritage, Nottingham Trent University, UK, addressed one of the key questions of the meeting: how are these new technologies changing the perception of our bodies, our sense of belonging, and social relationships. Two fundamental changes are affecting the life of the home, 1) the increasing number of older people as percentage of population in the UK and Europe, 2) the increasing encroachment of technologies in the way homes operate on a daily basis. Smart homes for the elderly need to address the actual concerns of older people not only their carers. Issues of safety and security are important, but so, argues Professor Abdelmonem, are fears of social isolation and lack of privacy. He also noted the changes to private and public spaces and contexts; these shift relative to the size and activity of the home. Private/personal space can now be achieved by plugging in to the digital world, creating isolation in formerly shared space. The challenge is for "homes of the 21st Century where work, care and emotional support are contesting the very nature of socio-spatial patterns of the domestic space….To be sustainable and central to family living." Home planning for all generations needs to recognize the shifting demographic and private/public domains and to "Revisit [the home's] roles as private spaces, and integrate technologies that are family friendly with clear ethical and moral principles." Human values must underlie digital development.
Session 5 Homes as Human Robot Ecologies:An Epistemological Inquiry on the "Domestication" of Robots
Professor Luisa Damiano, Logic and Philosophy of Science, University of Messina, Italy, explored how the notion of "domestic robots" has moved from science fiction to frontier research. As with Professor Abdelmonem, Professor Damiano's focus was on how human needs and behaviours need to be integrated with these developments – not teaching humans how to be with robots but making robots that genuinely benefit humans in domestic contexts. The so-called "peer-to-peer" interaction skills of robots in a wide range of home-based care and work tasks from cleaning to baby-sitting "promises a considerable transformation of humans' domesticity, and more in general, way of living." Like earlier speakers Professor Damiano advocated the urgency of a specific ethical reflection on these developments. "Instead of prioritizing the inclusion of robots into domestic environments by enhancing their networks of [robot-robot] relations, to favour the design of robots as "social connectors": prioritizing the goal of empowering human-human relations inside and outside domestic environments."
Dr Ioana Ocnarescu, Design Researcher at Strate School of Design, Paris, France, responded by perfectly illustrating Dr Damiano's argument with examples from the robot design perspective. Designers are most often approached once the robot has been created and are asked to optimize its use. This, Dr Ocnarescu argues, is the wrong way round. Designers are best-placed to be a part of the process from the beginning to ensure that the robot fits human needs rather than humans learning to fit in with the robot.(Video link to be found at:https://vimeo.com/128873380)
Keynote Tuesday 26th February: Digital Families: Grand Hopes, Growing Fears, Everyday Struggles.
Professor Sonia Livingstone OBE FBA, Professor of Social Psychology in the Department of Media and Communications London School of Economics (LSE), UK, presented relevant aspects of her work with Alicia Blum-Ross on Parenting for a Digital Future. This directly addressed the key question: What might be the specific benefits and the specific costs of how the new technologies can enhance children's growth, their social integration, intergenerational relationships in the domestic environment? Professor Livingstone established that 5 in 6 of all parents use digital technologies for parenting. She outlined some of the mixed messages both parents and children are receiving about the new technologies. On one hand they are encouraged to prepare for a digital future, on the other hand they are bombarded with scare stories about excessive screen time and internet dangers. Future-proofing or brain-washing? Negotiating a path through this new terrain causes tension within the home and relationships. Parents feel disconnected from their children and each other and it is hard for them to gain advice in managing these new conflicts. Professor Livingstone's own research suggests that many of the fears about screen time and access are not borne out in evidence. Gaining digital confidence, learning about coding from an early age should equip children for the new world. How far though does this increase the disconnect between parents and their children in the shared space of the home? Bearing in mind some social class distinctions found in the research, what are the shared values which we can encourage for all families, not just "the Geeks"? What does digital citizenship look like in the domestic context? What does need to be addressed is the age at which children become digitally active. This led to a return to the discussion concerning regulation and safe-guarding. It is clear that governments find themselves on the back foot in attempting to regulate something which is moving so fast and will only move faster in the future. It is also clear that any regulation or education plan needs to consider the whole family dynamic and needs.
Session 6: AI Empowered Technology in the Home.
Professor Francesca Toni, Professor in Computational Logic in the Department of Computing, Imperial College London, UK, and the founder and leader of the CLArg (Computational Logic and Argumentation) research group, picked up on a theme of the meeting, that these technologies although evolving fast still have a long way to go. Professor Toni's perspective suggests that there is still time and opportunity to make these new technologies work for and not against human social needs. The commercial developments that we see in place now aim to identify and optimize human activities. Currently "Connected Homes" are seen as places where control of energy consumption and security are managed either remotely or centrally by householders. There is not yet much available that engages directly with social connection facilitated by AI within the home between family/household members. This is an area where conversation between those working in the field of AI, scientific and commercial, and those concerned with policy making is vital.
Addressed by Professors Gamal Abdelmonem, Luisa Damiano, Sonia Livingstone, Francesca Toni and by Mei Lin Fung, and by respondents, Homayoun Alemi FRIBA, Dr Ioana Ocnarescu and Professor Matilde Santos, Professor in System Engineering and Automatic Control, University Complutense of Madrid, Spain.
Key strands
Many of these technologies are still at an early stage and evidence is still unclear as to the direct effect on the perception of our bodies, our sense of belonging, and social relationships.
Evidence we do have shows that the line between the private and the public is shifting and affecting the groups we feel we belong to. Questions concerning individual privacy are dominating the discussion of digital access, while more important shared concerns are less well-represented.
There is intergenerational tension in social relationships where use/overuse/inappropriate use of digital technology is perceived.
Addressed by all participants already cited and including respondent Dr Gloria Pasadilla, Partner and Business Director of Leadership Design Pte, Ltd, Singapore.
No one is currently raising the home context in the forums of AI and digital technologies. There needs to be "space at the table" for those concerned with these issues to engage with those making the decisions which reach into our homes.
The speed of development requires an urgent engagement with the ethical and social implications of the digital frontier and the prioritizing of human-human connection over human-robot connection.
Regulation, "trust-gates" and "gate-keepers" and firm ethical guidelines need to be integrated, and develop alongside with all technologies affecting the domestic context.
More research needed to see how the next generation of AI will impact on the home.
There are clear benefits to children's individual access to education and employment from digital technology. There is an impact on relationships within the home but these often arise from intergenerational tensions around amount of time children spend on screen and parental lack of knowledge/confidence on how to manage this.
There are clear benefits to the elderly from technologies designed to improve their security, safety, health and independence at home. There must be an awareness that many of these technologies are designed for the benefit of carers/relatives rather than the older person. Aim to work with rather than for the elderly to develop next stage of "care" technology.
There is no indication of the intergenerational benefits of AI being addressed or developed as key requirements or needs. That is in terms of communication, mutual nurturing, or intergenerational living.
Indicators for Future Actions/Engagement
No one is currently raising the home context in the forums of AI and digital technologies. There needs to be a "seat at the table" for those concerned with these issues to engage with those making the decisions which reach into our homes.
Construction of a framework and content of support and guidelines for parents and carers, and access to this, needs to be developed in the context of all who share the home.
More research is needed on the costs/benefits of the new technologies to the home.
There was little mention of any specifics in terms of ethical principles or guidelines to inform the above actions and engagements. This is clearly an area for further and detailed discussion.

Краткий обзор статьи: Saturn's diffuse E ring consists of many tiny (micron and sub-micron) grains of water ice distributed between the orbits of Mimas and Titan. Various gravitational and non-gravitational forces perturb these particles' orbits, causing the ring's local particle density to vary noticeably with distance from the planet, height above the ring-plane, hour angle and time. Using remote-sensing data obtained by the Cassini spacecraft in 2005 and 2006, we investigate the E-ring's three-dimensional structure during a time when the Sun illuminated the rings from the south at high elevation angles (> 15 degrees). These observations show that the ring's vertical thickness grows with distance from Enceladus' orbit and its peak brightness density shifts from south to north of Saturn's equator plane with increasing distance from the planet. These data also reveal a localized depletion in particle density near Saturn's equatorial plane around Enceladus' semi-major axis. Finally, variations are detected in the radial brightness profile and the vertical thickness of the ring as a function of longitude relative to the Sun. Possible physical mechanisms and processes that may be responsible for some of these structures include solar radiation pressure, variations in the ambient plasma, and electromagnetic perturbations associated with Saturn's shadow.

New surgical procedure enables men born with a very small penis to acquire an average-sized one
A surgical procedure being pioneered by University College London (UCL) urologists is enabling men born with a very small penis to acquire an average-sized, functioning penis which not only allows them to urinate normally, but for many, to enjoy a full sex life for the first time.
In a talk to be given on Wednesday 8 December at the European Society for Sexual Medicine conference in London , Dr David Ralph will present the results from recent operations performed at UCL to correct the condition known as micropenis, which is though to affect 0.6 per cent of the population. Whereas the average size of the human penis is around 12.5 cm or 5 inches, a micropenis spans less than 7 cm or just over two inches.
A micropenis can develop from inadequate testosterone in the 2nd and 3rd trimester of fetal growth, although there may be other causes such as genetic make-up or androgen insensitivity, where the fetus begins as a male but is insensitive to the male hormone testosterone during growth. A number of treatments are available or alternatively gender reassignment may be considered.
Phalloplasty or penile enlargement involves cutting a flap of skin from the patient's forearm and shaping it into a penis four or five inches long. To maintain erogenous sensation, the original penis is incorporated into the surface of the transplanted skin. Patients receive a urethra to enable them to urinate, and an inflatable penile prosthesis to allow an erection to engage in sexual intercourse.
UCL surgeons performed the operation on nine men aged 19 to 43 with a range of medical backgrounds, including three hermaphrodites and two men who had problems with androgen (the group of hormones which includes testosterone), one of whom became deficient in androgen after chemotherapy.
Following surgery, all patients were found to be satisfied with the cosmetic appearance of their penis, with four patients able to urinate standing up and four able to have regular sexual intercourse. However, in several cases multiple complications arose, such as an infection or a shift in the cylinder position, with subsequent revision operations needed.
Dr David Ralph of UCL's Institute of Urology says: "This operation can change the life of young men, improving their self-esteem and quality of life and allowing many of them to have sexual intercourse, sometimes for the first time in their life. However, patients should be aware of the high risk of complications from this procedure."

Space Grant's 30th Anniversary Celebration
Georgia Space Grant Consortium (GSGC) joined 24 fellow Space Grants in the Foyer of the Rayburn House Office Building on February 25, 2020 for a Program Showcase. GSGC invited three students from the Georgia Outreach Team for Space (GOT Space) to feature their specialized presentations to Congress, NASA, and other Space Grants.
Emma Pearson, a 4th year undergraduate Physics major at Kennesaw State University explained her research on detection of elementary particles from cosmic rays. Justin Robinson, an Astrophysics PhD candidate at Georgia State University, put people on Mars with his Virtual Reality head sets. While, Carson Coursey, a 2nd year undergraduate Aerospace Engineer at Georgia Tech, broke down rocket science, using paper rockets since they would not allow his team's 14 ft. tall rocket into a Capitol Building..
These students also had the opportunity to meet with various members of congress as well as hear from members of NASA leadership. Each did a wonderful job representing GSGC and GOT Space and their home institution.
GOT Space:
ASK ME ANYTHING EVENTS
The Georgia Space Grant Consortium will be hosting a couple "Ask Me Anything" live events on Tuesday April 7, 2020 and Tuesday April 14, 2020 at 2pm EST via YouTube. These live events will be hosted by GOT Space Ambassadors Carson Coursey (Georgia Tech) and Justin Robinson (Georgia State).
Carson: April 7, 2020 2pm EDT
Tune in to learn about rocketry and aerospace engineering! Georgia Tech undergrad Carson Coursey talks about rockets he's built in the past, as well as his time at Georgia Tech studying aerospace engineering and how he got there. He'll also answers questions about rockets, big and small, such as: how they work, how fast they go, why they fly, etc.
Justin: April 14, 2020 2pm EDT
Will focus on the first REAL image of a supermassive blackhole that we've ever gotten. The image, released in April of last year, is the first of its kind, meaning it is the first image created from real data taken by telescopes spread across the globe, effectively creating a telescope that's as big as the surface of the Earth. The image from Messier 87 (the galaxy that houses this black hole) is a huge leap forward in terms of our theories about black holes, how they behave, and how they interact with things around them. First thing's first, though, we need to understand the basics. I'll first talk about what black holes are, how they form, and how we can detect them. Next up, I'll describe how we think matter would behave if it gets too close to a black hole that's as massive as M87's. Lastly, I'll show simulations from other scientists that describe all that must be going on in the center of M87 to produce the specific image we got.

Pertussis exposure improves response to booster vaccine
Editorial Medicalfacts/ Janine Budding 08 december 2022 – 09:36
Taking exposure into account provides more insight into the effect of vaccines
Older children have more antibodies against the whooping cough bacteria than younger children, because they are exposed to the pathogen more often. They also show a stronger immune response after a booster vaccination against whooping cough. Exposure is therefore an important factor in the timing and effectiveness of vaccines. This is evident from a publication by Radboudumc in Nature Communications.
The Netherlands has been vaccinating the population against whooping cough since 1957. That's the 'K' in the DKTP vaccination, which children receive three times in their first year of life, and again when they are four years old. Yet the bacteria that causes whooping cough is still going around and making many people sick. This is because the vaccines protect very well against serious illness, but less well against infection with the highly contagious whooping cough bacteria.
What is the effect of pertussis bacteria circulation on a booster vaccination? Immunologist Dimitri Diavatopoulos and PhD student Janeri Fröberg of Radboud university medical center wondered that. They examined two groups of children. 'One group was between 7-10 years old, the other between 11-15,' says Fröberg. 'They had all received their series of injections from the National Immunization Programme. We gave them a booster and looked at the immune response in the nose, before the booster, and a month and a year after that. In our measurements we distinguished between antibodies against the vaccine and against the bacteria itself.'
sick reports
The first thing that stood out was that the older group of children already had more antibodies against the whooping cough bacteria in their noses before the booster vaccination than the younger group. "That could be due to exposure to the bacteria," says Diavatopoulos. 'Older children have had longer time to come into contact with the bacteria themselves. But whooping cough outbreaks are often very local, so exposure can vary greatly per region and age group.' To check this, the researchers delved into the regional data on whooping cough sickness reports, made available by the RIVM. 'We did indeed see more sick reports due to whooping cough among the older group.'
Second, the researchers studied the response to the booster vaccination. Fröberg: 'In the group with older children, we saw more antibodies in the nose against the vaccine, and a slower decrease in antibodies from one month to one year after the booster. That is a very interesting finding. It could mean that exposure to the pathogen leads to long-lasting antibodies in the nose after a booster vaccination, and thus possibly protection against the disease. Conversely, an additional vaccination without exposure may result in a less strong immune response.'
Insight whooping cough
The degree of exposure to a pathogen appears to be important for the response to a vaccine, with possible consequences for the vaccination programme. 'Different countries vaccinate against whooping cough at different ages, and the number of booster vaccinations also varies,' explains Diavatopoulos. 'We booster children at the age of four, while in other countries this is done, for example, with children aged nine or twelve. In our vaccination program, that shot will soon also shift, from four to six years old. Our study supports this subsequent administration of a booster against pertussis. We do have to take into account the balance between the circulation of the bacteria and the severity of symptoms in the event of an infection. A little exposure can be beneficial for the effect of the vaccination, but the burden of disease must remain sufficiently low.'
That vaccines protect well against disease, but are less effective against spreading, we have heard that more often in recent years. "We see parallels with the corona pandemic," explains Diavatopoulos. 'There too, the immune response is an interplay between vaccination and exposure. The sum of these factors influences how well a vaccine works and to what extent you are protected. As far as I'm concerned, we will take exposure into account in every study into a new vaccine, which will give us much more insight into protection.'

Market gardener and former miner Charlie Ah Lipp poses heroically for his portrait in 1915.
When 18, he left from busy Hong Kong harbour in 1858 for the Colonies. After a short stay in Sydney, he joined the Chinese diggers at Beechworth for 6 months. He worked in country N.S.W. for 3 years, then made his way to the Victorian diggings in Bendigo for 5 years. He continued mining in Castlemaine and finally settled in Malmsbury where he mined, then took up market gardening.
Den Pooh photographed at 55.
Arrived 31 years ago on a tonnage ticket puchased in a Hong Kong store for $300. Met by Hing Kee a store owner in Little Bourke Street who he stayed with for 2 months. Worked in Sydney for 26 years for cabinetmakers and a Chinese store. Went to Ballarat to work for his brother as an assistant herbalist.
This directive was sent to all Customs offices in the Commonwealth. When initially put into practice, some Victorian statutory declarations included the village of origin and /or the village where the wife and children resided in Canton.
5a. (a) Are you married or single (b) if married, where does wife reside (if living)?
This photo of George Young (En Young Fong)and his family was taken in Bendigo before they returned to the village of Gar Yew in 1900. He made his fortune as a sand tailer on the Bendigo goldfields where he employed 70 labourers at Eaglehawk retrieving gold. His eldest daughter Clara used this photo to establish her identity when she returned to Victoria in 1917.
Clara is the girl standing, Harry is the eldest boy then Willie, Frank Mary and Lily. She rememberedlittle of the town of her birthas her father prohibited the children from leaving their home and tutors visited to educate them.
Meu Loong was a prominent furniture manufacturer in Melbourne, trading as Quong Lee and Co where he worked since arriving at 22. He married Yiet Kai who arrived here when she was 11. They had 5 children here before visiting Leong Shan, Canton in 1916, intending to return.When their next child was born in Canton, they sent a doctor's certificate registering the event to Victorian Customs and extended their return permits to 1925. They did not return however and their permits lapsed.

Han Solo's exploits as a hero of the Rebellion are well known. Initially a reluctant participant in the effort to overthrow the Galactic Empire, he later became a general in the Rebel Alliance and was instrumental in the eventual downfall of the Empire and the establishment of the New Republic.
We do not want to diminish Solo's accomplishments, and we, too, are thankful that the Rebellion was successful and the Empire fell. But we still must examine Solo's past, and he must still be held accountable for his crimes.
Before joining the Rebel Alliance, Solo was captain of the freighter known as the Millennium Falcon. He was responsible for delivering commissioned shipments throughout the Outer Rim Territories. He was quite successful, and became one of the preferred shipping providers for Jabba Desilijic Tiure (commonly known as "Jabba the Hutt").
In 0 BBY (3277 LY), Solo was hired by Jabba to transport a shipment of the drug known as "spice." Although spice was illegal in the Galactic Empire, its trade was permitted in the Outer Rim Territories. During transport, Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon, was intercepted by an Imperial starship. Solo, fearing boarding and arrest, dumped the shipment.
Solo had been commissioned by to deliver the shipment intact, and having unnecessarily dumped it despite its legal status in the Outer Rim Territories, Solo was legally required to reimburse Jabba for the value of the shipment. He did not do so. Jabba issued a bounty for Solo's arrest, and Solo became a fugitive who was subject to arrest by any licensed bounty hunter.
When Greedo attempted to apprehend Solo and bring him to justice, Solo shot and killed him in cold blood. Solo has never stood trial for either the destruction of Jabba's property, or the murder of Greedo.
