Druid today announced that the company purchased the building known as Lowstrand House, Flood Street, where Druid offices are currently housed.
Tonight we will unveil a proposal to Galway City Council to transform the three story building, which backs onto the Mick Lally Theatre on Druid Lane. The development could be done by 2020, in time for the city's tenure as European Capital of Culture, if successful. The Mick Lally Theatre would remain as a smaller performance and rehearsal space and a larger 240-seat theatre would be built alongside it. Druid would continue as a producing company, staging and touring work, while the building would centre on artist development, education, festivals, events, and community engagement.

Angola - Salesian Brother: a life style delineated in experience of Baptism and following of Jesus
(ANS - Luanda) - The proposal of Jesus that we read, meditate and live comes from the Gospel. Every day we dive into those pages to meet the Teacher and practice a good concrete lifestyle in our daily lives. In the nineteenth century, in Italy, a young man named Giovanni Bosco undertook this evangelical adventure by becoming a priest and dedicating himself to the poorest young people. He imagined the Salesians of Don Bosco as a religious congregation manifested in the community life of clerics and laity (priests and brothers) who share a common mission. His original idea became a proposal for religious life.
By Br José Enrique Sobrero Bosch, SDB
And it must be emphasized that this way of being, this style of life, is defined and precisely delineated in the experience of Baptism and the following of Jesus.
The members of the religious community manifest themselves in two ways: the clerical component and the lay component. These are people who live a common vocation (religious life, Salesian life) and a particular vocation (priest or brother). Both are religious, consecrated and complementary in common life, in the mission and in the witness of the Evangelical Councils of obedience, poverty and chastity.
The Salesian brother is therefore a consecrated person, a lay religious, who lives in the religious community together with the Salesian priests or deacons. Brothers and priests work together, pray together, live together in communion by their religious consecration, in the commitment to the perfection of their Baptism. We highlight this complementarity to keep alive the community image that Don Bosco himself wanted. If we consider only one component, we will have an incomplete view of the Salesian consecrated vocation.
The Salesian brother professes a religious life rich in faith, affection, joy and humility in the various tasks entrusted to him and which he carries out.
The Salesian brother or coadjutor is the bearer of a careful secularity in the details of daily life. These details of service and good humor will help every member of the community to fulfill their role with more time and dedication. Thus, for example, the priest will always be available to preach, celebrate Mass and care for souls.
The Salesian brother is also a sign of fraternity in the community - this is his most evident contribution. The young people and the laity perceive him as a person dedicated to professional and pastoral commitments.
Once a young man told me: "The Salesian brother is that person who is seated near us at Mass." It made me think that the consecration of the lay Salesian allows him to give himself to everyone, in any place and time. This availability, which arises from the encounter with Jesus and always returns to Him, is a sign of service and complementarity with the other members of the Salesian pastoral and educational community.
The Salesian brother is a person who is discovered, and discovers himself, in daily life, working and praying.

Return Frederick Douglass to Prominence in Rochester
Rochester was the most important place in America for the early civil rights movement in this country. This is pretty much common knowledge to anyone who has ever lived in the Rochester area. We were among the most important points of the Underground Railroad, a key meeting place of abolitionists and suffragists, and a place where many firsts were achieved. However, it is as the home and final resting place of both Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, that the Flower City can stake its claim amongst America's great historic centers.
While Susan B. Anthony has long had a worthy memorial at the Susan B. Anthony House on Madison Street, where is our memorial to Frederick Douglass? While Washington DC has the National Frederick Douglass Historic Site at Cedar Hill and Cincinnati has the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, Rochester still has scant little to show for Mr. Douglass' achievements here and elsewhere. This must change, and soon. Today's Democrat & Chronicle has a story on two competing proposals to establish memorials to Douglass and the Underground Railroad. One proposal is the Frederick Douglass Resource Center, which would be built at a former steel fabricating plant on King Street not far from the Anthony House; the other is the Freedom Trail Interpretive Center at High Falls.
Both of these proposals have merit and I applaud their backers for their efforts to build facilities worthy of Rochester's heritage. But shouldn't they be combined into one single effort capable of creating something that would firmly establish Rochester as a center for cultural tourism? Shouldn't this facility be built at a prominent location to ensure its own success while also having an important economic spin-off for the city that Douglass loved so much? In my opinion, the competing efforts should be merged into the "North Star Museum of Civil Rights" that would be built at the Talman Building (see picture below) on Main Street in downtown Rochester.
The Talman Building is where Frederick Douglass published his anti-slavery newspaper, The North Star, for 17 years. It is in a prominent location near the Four Corners and there is a large surface parking lot to its rear to accommodate school and tour buses. Although it is currently a fully-occupied 20,000 square foot Class B office building, I believe the conversion could be relatively easy since the building is well-maintained, its current owners are local, and there are not many tenants to displace. Besides, there is a ton of vacant Class B office space in downtown Rochester that could easily absorb these tenants. Personally, I'd be happy to show them around.
But wait, there's more! The above photo shows the Frederick Douglass Monument at Highland Park. This statue, the first government-commissioned statue to honor an African-American, was once located at the intersection of St Paul Street and Central Avenue in downtown Rochester (where the Inner Loop is now). Today, it is overlooked by residents and visitors alike due to its nearly invisible location off of South Avenue overlooking the Highland Bowl. This highly important monument must be returned to a prominent location in downtown Rochester. The legacy of Frederick Douglass must continue to be preserved and enhanced and what better place to do so than in his adopted hometown, our hometown.

Der Weg im Dunkel ist ein US-amerikanisches Filmdrama von Sidney Franklin, inszeniert im Jahr 1935. Das Drehbuch basiert auf einem Bühnenstück von Guy Bolton, das er unter seinem Pseudonym H. B. Trevelyan verfasste. Uraufgeführt wurde der Film am 5. September 1935 in New York. In Deutschland kam der Film nicht in die Kinos. Am 29. Mai 1981 wurde er erstmals im deutschen Fernsehen, in der ARD, ausgestrahlt.

Handlung
Schon seit ihrer Kindheit sind die Cousins Gerald Shannon und Alan Trent mit Kitty Vane befreundet. Auch als Erwachsene sind sie unzertrennlich. Kittys aufrichtige Liebe gehört Alan, den sie heiraten will. Als 1914 England in den Krieg eintritt, werden Alan und Gerald eingezogen. Gerald, der ebenfalls etwas für Kitty empfindet, gibt beiden bei einem Heimaturlaub seinen Segen. Beide werden zur Front zurückgerufen, die geplante Hochzeit platzt. Die Nacht, bevor die Cousins nach Frankreich müssen, verbringt Kitty mit Alan. Heimlich gehen sie in ein Lokal, werden aber dort von Kittys Cousin Lawrence Bidley gesehen.

Als Gerald von der Nacht hört, leugnet Alan das Treffen mit Kitty, woraufhin beide Männer in Streit geraten. Gerald ist insgeheim immer noch eifersüchtig. Er schickt Alan auf eine gefährliche Mission, bei der dieser bei einer Explosion scheinbar umkommt. Kitty hat Alans Tod geahnt. Als Gerald ihr von seinen Schuldgefühlen erzählt, gesteht sie ihm, dass sie die Frau gewesen ist, die mit Alan in dem Lokal war.

Der Krieg endet, und Gerald kehrt nach England zurück. In der Zwischenzeit ist auch der totgeglaubte Alan nach England zurückgekommen. Doch er hat sich nicht gemeldet und lebt unter einem falschen Namen. Er ist im Krieg erblindet, darum will er weder seiner Familie noch Kitty mitteilen, dass er lebt. Mit der Zeit wird er zu einem erfolgreichen Schriftsteller von Kinderbüchern. Er lebt auf dem Land, zu seinen neuen Freunden zählt auch Sir George Barton. Gerald hat alte Fotografien von Gerald und Kitty bei Alan gefunden, daher erkennt er sie bei einer Verlobungsmeldung.

Als Alan und George mit ein paar Dorfkindern angeln gehen, begegnen sie unvermittelt Gerald und Kitty. Gerald kümmert sich um Kitty, die bei einer Fuchsjagd vom Pferd gefallen ist. Beide bemerken Alan nicht. Doch George, der Gerald bei der Versorgung Kittys hilft, erzählt ihnen von einem Freund, der Bilder von ihnen hat. Gerald ahnt, dass es sich dabei um Alan handelt. Mit Kitty sucht er Alans Landhaus auf. Alan will kein Mitleid, also gibt er vor, sehen zu können. Er will aber nicht in sein altes Leben zurück. Gerald und Kitty kommen jedoch der Wahrheit auf die Spur. Kitty sucht Alan auf und erzählt ihm, dass sie nie aufgehört habe, ihn zu lieben. Sie umarmen sich und beschließen, für immer zusammenzubleiben.

In a major setback for advocates of stronger separation of religion and state in Japan, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday against a Christian woman who sued the government for violating her rights by enshrining her husband in a Shinto ceremony after he died on military duty.
The high court overturned two lower-court rulings that the "personal religious rights" of the widow, Yasuko Nakaya, 54, had been violated by Self-Defense Forces officials who helped in the enshrinement over her objections.
Shinto, which derives from the animistic, indigenous religion of the Japanese islands, evolved into a nationalistic cult during the period of rapid modernization earlier in the century and became the state religion, headed by the emperor, in Japan's era of militarism.
Nakaya argued in her 1973 suit filed in Yamaguchi, on the southwestern tip of Honshu Island, that the enshrinement violated a provision in the postwar constitution forbidding government involvement in religious affairs.
Although her husband received a Christian burial and is worshiped at the Shinto shrine only in spirit, Nakaya argued that she had been denied her "personal right" to religious freedom because the enshrinement "disturbed my spiritual peace to quietly remember my husband." The lower courts awarded her 1 million yen (about $8,000) in damages.
In Japanese law, personal rights are generally asserted in environmental cases. Applying the concept to religion was radical and untested, Nakaya's attorney said.
"It's a new concept as far as spiritual matters go," said Kenkichi Nakahira, head of Nakaya's team of lawyers. "We weren't surprised the Supreme Court didn't recognize it, given its conservative bent."
More controversial than the widow's personal rights, however, was the signal the court gave on the constitutional question of how far the government can go in sponsoring or cooperating with Shinto practices, Nakahira said.
The ruling is especially important for its expected effect on critics of the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo where the souls of Japan's military martyrs, including convicted war criminals of World War II, are worshiped. Official visits to the shrine by cabinet ministers in recent years have aroused public indignation, and worship at the shrine has come to symbolize the ruling party's attempts to erase the shame of World War II.
Citizen groups across Japan have been fighting court battles to block local government support of the shrine, and representatives of several anti-shrine groups assailed Wednesday's ruling, the newspaper Asahi reported.
Nakaya's case dates back 20 years, to when her husband, Takafumi, then 37, was killed in a car accident while a first lieutenant in the Self-Defense Forces, Japan's military. A Christian, Nakaya buried her husband without incident at her church, but was surprised to learn four years later that an association of bereaved families planned to enshrine him along with 26 other men who died on duty.
She asked that her husband not be included and sued the government and the association the following year after he was enshrined at Gokoku Shrine in Yamaguchi.
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the defense forces were not directly involved in the enshrinement but merely provided administrative help to the private association and did not cross the line separating religion and state or violate Nakaya's rights.
But Nakahira, the lawyer, noted that eight of the 15 justices said the government should at least avoid the appearance of having an interest in religious affairs, and he counted this as a small victory.
"The real aim of this suit was to stop the Self-Defense Forces from meddling in people's personal religious affairs, and I think we've accomplished that," Nakahira said.
Japan's Christians make up less than 1% of the population. Most Japanese are nominally Buddhist but participate in various Shinto rites, such as marriage ceremonies.


It would be cool if the Buffalo Bills actually played in Buffalo. Orchard Park isn't as bad as the NY Jets/Giants playing in another state though.
The idea of a domed stadium in Buffalo is pretty dumb though. Takes all home field advantages away.
It'll congest traffic and parking downtown. Wrong time be taking out the rail system. Stupid move. Plus as much revenue as it will generate for downtown Buffalo, it'll destroy the vintage charm of the city.
The traffic thing would definitely be a nightmare. Sabres games are a headache, and football games would be much worse.
Many many people don't care bout bills or sabres. True fact.
I would like the Bills to play downtown, and if the stadium actually doubled as a privately-held convention space and somehow useable facility for the days other than rare home football games, I'm all for it.
However, when billionaires are involved, NO PUBLIC MONEY should ever be used for a project like this.
I agree with that. The Harbor Center got 30+ million in tax breaks for what amounts to mostly minimum wage jobs. The numbers just don't add up. Hopefully the place is still occupied when it actually gets on the tax rolls. If you have 2 billion to buy your own foosball team, then you should be able to slap up your own hotel without public cash.
"A key argument if taxpayers are asked to fund a stadium project will be over the financial return to the public. Study after study has shown taxpayers often get far less back in return, such as an increase in sales or income tax revenues, than governments have put into stadium construction projects".
Remember Bass Pro? That was going to fix everything too.
Don't believe anyone who tells you this is worth public money. It's not ever been true. We have so much else that needs to be done.
The stadium should be in downtown....I think if it was, it would be used more in the off season. That One Direction thing this summer is the first time it's being used off season in quite awhile. Ida, I can't say you're wrong for your take, but downtown Buffalo has a lot of things...vintage charm is not one of them. Cleveland got it right...Baseball stadium right next door to the Arena and the football stadium is right at the end of downtown.
I was there in may staying across the street from the baseball stadium....it was a sunday night and the city was insane with people and fun. Lady GaGa was at the arena and the Indians were home. Having a downtown stadium could do nothing but help the city.
The other huge question....after spending $133 million on upgrades to Rich...what do you do with it?

yellow ed wrote: Totally. It's a nightmare downtown on Sundays already.
This made me larf out loud.
Not really but it was funny.
They have a Dome in Arizona, if they don't build a stadium with a retractable dome here, especially with BirdAir in our town, then they should all be shot! I just hope it's not the same people tasked with building the new Peace Bridge!
Ida wrote: It'll congest traffic and parking downtown. Wrong time be taking out the rail system. Stupid move. Plus as much revenue as it will generate for downtown Buffalo, it'll destroy the vintage charm of the city.
I couldn't agree more. Leave the stadium where it is. The while dead on arrival comment of the team actually playing in the city bears no merit. They at least play in the state...look at the giants and jets, they didn't even play in nys but they get the tag.
Downtown is bad enough to navigate with a stoop light every two feet and no parking as it is. New stadium...build it in lot 3 next to the Ralph. Truly though, or house is like Fenway. Don't take it down. We don't need a new stadium.

Q: How to download file as document in Internet Explorer? My file download as document is not working in IE. How can I write code in PHP to download the file correctly in Internet Explorer

A: The following is the code i have been using for the past three years and it is working fine.
Just now i tested in all browsers IE6, IE7, IE8 and in all those it is working fine.
The $fn is the full path of the file.
and make sure that no other extra spaces or newlines are there anyway i have used ob_clean before flushing the file to the browser.
Better if you have no other html code sent above this... so use it seperately with no other content. else start the code with ob_start(); so at the line of ob_clean() there wont be any extra chars.
$filename = "$fn";
ob_clean();
header("Cache-Control: no-store");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($filename)."\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header('Content-Length: '. filesize($filename));
readfile($filename);

I have a file management module where i upload files and the user can download it.
If you still have issues or unable to make it work the just add few more lines of your problem and the people who ever sees would respond to that.
THE REASON I HAVE USED SOME MORE HEADERS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS BECAUSE INITIALLY I HAD PROBLEMS WITH IE 6.
for secure servers HTTPS replace the first two headers with this one.
header("Cache-Control:  maxage=1");
header("Pragma: public");

this way it is working for me.

A: Check to make sure that your header declaration is not in error.  (With PHP you have to make sure that the Content type is declared correctly, and is the first line of the php file. http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php)

A: Set correct HTTP header
<?php
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"');
readfile('original.pdf');
?>

Apropos of nothing, a quick post about quickies
Glommed on to this funny/sad piece at CNN, where it has been determined (scientifically!) that most people take only 3 to 13 minutes for sex. Of course, I see a flaw in their methodology right off that may have skewed results.
Dr. Irwin Goldstein, editor of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, cited a four-week study of 1,500 couples in 2005 that found the median time for sexual intercourse was 7.3 minutes. (Women in the study were armed with stopwatches.)
Oh yeah. Nothing makes a man feel like James Bond Meets Johnny Wadd Meets Adonis quite like drillin' some chick who's timing you with a stopwatch. Thanks for the "self esteem" boost.

On the whole "being offensive" thing
In my Dawkins report, I discussed the way many Christians — primarily of the conservative stripe — can't stop whining about how horribly offensive the anti-religious rhetoric of the "new atheists" is, while intentionally ignoring, and even defending, far worse behavior from their own. A perfect example is this odious hypocrisy I read via Ed Brayton's blog.
Oklahoma representative Sally Kern, not surprisingly a sponsor of the anti-education bill HB 2211, recently had a sickening homophobic hate screed of hers recorded and made public. Is she apologizing? Of course not. She's a Christian, and morally superior to you, after all. So not only is she sticking to her guns, she's got the lunatics at the WorldNutDaily (to which I refuse to link, so go over to Ed's if you must immerse yourself in such filth) concocting a nice little conspiracy theory in her defense as well. Get a load of this. Here they are talking about how the thousands of gays and lesbians whom Kern gratuitously offended with her hate speech are the ones with the problem, and how they're victimizing her.
Basically, they're trying to silence her by threatening, intimidating, harassing and frightening her until she can't take any more abuse. No dialogue, no debate – just crush her.
Only a fundie would think there's something meriting "dialogue" and "debate" when some foul-tempered, hideous old cow (oh noes, the eebul afeist is calling her naaames!) rants about how gays and lesbians are more dangerous to America than terrorists, that they're bringing about the downfall of civilization, and who lies about non-existent "studies" that support such idiotic ideas.
From where I'm sitting, the entirety of the "dialogue" and "debate" hate speech like Kern's deserves can be summed up as, "You're a sick individual, a disgrace, and a vile liar, and would you please go crawl back under your rock, you ignorant useless bitch. Thank you. Signed, The Human Race."
That's their game. It's despicable, and utterly un-American.
While religious hate is just so praiseworthy and "pro-American," of course.
In a sense, Kern does a better job of validating Dawkins' points than Dawkins does. When Dawkins wrote in his essay "Logical Path from Religious Beliefs to Evil Deeds"…
Religion changes, for people, the definition of good…. For non-religious people, the behavior of consenting adults in a private bedroom is the business of nobody else, and is not bad unless it causes suffering – for example by breaking up a happy family. But many religions arrogate to themselves the right to decide that certain kinds of sexual behavior, even if they do no harm to anyone, are wrong…. The following quotation from the Nobel prize winning physicist Steven Weinberg has become well known, but it is so devastatingly true that it is worth quoting again and again: "With or without [religion] you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion."
…he was talking about you, Mustang Sally.
Now, back under the rock with you. Here, take your Bible. You'll need that, since you haven't got a brain.
Oh gee. Did I offend someone?

4 billion years of evolution beats $1 billion in abstinence-only sex ed
Big surprise! Abstinence-only sex ed doesn't work.
Big surprise! It's a huge waste of money.
Big surprise! 4 billion years of evolution in making every living thing on this plant successful because of our collective ability to procreate beats out religiously motivated wishful thinking. Who could have possibly known? (Certainly not anyone who thinks that Jesus solves all your problems.)
Big surprise! It was all just a way for the religious right to get money from its shills in the government. Sadly, this blatant and obvious corruption at the expense of our youth will likely never be punished. I, for one, would like my tax money back on this one.
We've been saying this stuff all along, but nobody listens to us atheists. We're immoral.

The fundies' continued obsession with fudge-packin' and rug-munchin'!
Fundamentalist Christians' obsession with homosexuality baffles me. That anyone at all would care what two consenting adults do in the bedroom points, I humbly submit, to an unhealthy psychology. I can't say I have much reason to give gay people and their private lives a moment's thought, and my best friend in the world is a femme lesbian who makes most Hollywood actresses look like five miles of bad road. The homophobia of the Christian Right has been a long-established reality, but it takes on a whole new character when they start having conferences and symposia on the subject.
The Exodus Freedom Conference has been running for 31 years now, teaching gay people that they have to deny their identities and hate themselves if they want to achieve "Christ-likeness". It's a practice we saw work so very well in the case of Ted Haggard. Anything at all is better than catchin' teh gay, and the Exodus people are there to help!
Just looking through the list of seminar topics, we see just how much these folks' views on every area of human sexuality that doesn't fall under the rubric "straight married Christians makin' a baby Christian" is informed by fear, confusion, guilt, and mistrust of one's own body and biological urges. Here we see the Christian mantra of "sin" driven in with a sledgehammer; these tingly feelings you have are evil, you're evil for having them, and you need to get right with God pronto if you have a hope of entering dem pearly gates.
The Sin Cycle: Breaking the Cycle of Repetitive Sin and Moving Forward
Sometimes it is hard to see the possibility for change when our lives seem dominated by repeated and cyclical destructive behavior. But Change does happen and the cycle of sin can be broken. This workshop will explore an amazing picture of how we get stuck in cycles of sin and, most importantly, how to open your self to change and how to move forward in freedom.
Cyclical destructive behavior is quite an ugly reality when it comes to things like drug abuse, violence, or criminal activity. But remember, the Exodus folks are using this label to guilt people of a Particular Sexual Preference, and that's pretty ugly too.
Things get weirder further on. Just who the fark would get up in front of a roomful of people and identify themselves as a "chronic masturbator"? You might as well guiltily confess, "I'm a former bag-a-day chocolate chip cookie eater," with the only difference being that masturbation doesn't have all the saturated fat.
Finding Freedom From Masturbation
Often in our recovery we trade one vice for another in an effort to medicate from our pain. Many have given up sex with others in exchange for self-sex, considering it the lesser of two evils. A former chronic masturbator shares her struggle to overcome her habit and the shame, guilt, and contempt that accompanied. This class will explore whether masturbation is sin, are there special circumstances when it is not, tips and techniques to increase self-control, the importance of accountability, and the role of thought life.
I'd love to have a transcript of this one; I'm sure it's at least as delightful as the legendary Mormon Guide to Self-Control.
Now with this one, things get both hilarious and surreal.
Escaping the Gaytrix
In the blockbuster trilogy, The Matrix, moviegoers are challenged to explore a fundamental theme we can all relate too: what is the truth underlying reality? This workshop will challenge and explore how gay defined reality is a complete system of beliefs, moral code and philosophy presented as imposed reality on all those who have same sex attraction. Christ presents a complete paradigm shift that initially feels like Morpheus' statement "Welcome to the desert of the real," but in reality, while Truth may be initially foreign and difficult, Jesus leads us to the abundant Life found in contentment in Christ. This workshop will help us all view life with same sex attraction in the Light of Truth instead of imposed gay ideology.
You think these wackjobs are projecting just a wee bit when they go on about "imposed ideologies"?
Here's a fascinating article on just how wrong-headed and simplistic the Exodus folks are in their attempts to examine human sexuality and "cure" gays, and the way in which these "ex-gay" ministries are actually, repellently, exploiting emotional vulnerabilities in order to inculcate more guilt and rake in a whole new flock of dependent followers.
"Sure, there are some people out there who say that they've been cured," he says. "Either they're greatly in denial and they are living a life to satisfy the perceived demands of a harsh God or they are bisexual, which is a rare possibility, or that they were really never gay in the first place. There are a lot of people in ex-gay groups who were molested and therefore think they're gay."
Again, one only needs to go back to The Wonderful Week of Haggard to contrast the shame and scandal surrounding his outing — loaded down as it was with the baggage of Christian anger, fear, and loathing — with the very positive, happy and healthy vibes radiating from celebrities like Neil Patrick Harris and Lance Bass, who were coming out around the same time. Being gay is just a reality for some people. Deal with it. Attaching self-loathing and guilt to it is abominably abusive, especially when it's a guilt tied to fear of the wrath of a nonexistent deity.

From chatbots and voice recognition to network provisioning and beyond, AI-based automation offers near-limitless possibilities for telecoms. But that's the problem: the opportunities, and the pitfalls, are near limitless.
Telecoms are investing money in all directions, trying to capture the goodness of digital transformation. Much of that money will be wasted because "automation" is and will continue to be an elusive goal that, in itself, won't create profits.
What will create profits will be the way, or ways, that automation is used, and these will vary according to each company's goals, strengths and weaknesses. That's why real-time analytics, what some call RTA, will be the essential component in putting automation and transformational initiatives to best use.
Analytics – Real-time monitoring and visibility of end-to-end services, network components and infrastructure.
In fact, each of these examples can benefit from a degree of analytics intelligence, or machine-level thinking, depending on the sophistication necessary.
In fact, there is a major difference between the AI of simple automation and the AI functions required for real-time analytics.
Robotic process automation, or RPA, is an example of a lower-order cognitive function. RPA is used in telecoms and throughout industry as a means of turning repetitive processes into automated workflows.
RPA's simple decision-making ability is most often applied to back-office processes such as order validation, credit checks, or service activation to free up human operators to do more productive tasks. Telecoms should keep in mind, though, that RPA should be applied more to repetitive, "transactional" tasks than to the decision-making components of these tasks.
The TM Forum's Inform points this out, saying "Parameters such as high manual efforts, high volume, repetitive and rule-based (tasks) are ideal to identify (transactional) process steps. For example, the process step of last-mile configuration has less scope (for RPA) than a process step such as logical provisioning.
For the decision-making aspects of automation, telecoms need the fast-thinking qualities of real-time analytics, and these qualities represent a major step up from simple automation and RPA.
The "fast" part of the equation stems from the fact that the adoption of 5GL will, for instance, mean gigabit data streams to the home…and everywhere else. The burgeoning Internet of Things will be sending transaction data in the billions, and it's just getting started.
Billions of sensors and other instrumented devices are able to deliver high quality information to the listening telecom. But that data will only be high-quality if the telecom is able to first sort through the volumes of data, and that's where fast data-ingestion comes in.
For instance, it's been said that anomaly detection, one of the most important features of telecom analytics, risks causing more trouble than it's worth because of its tendency to generate high numbers of false alarms. Fast, real-time ingestion of that data gives the analytics engine more time to filter out those alarms. And that's where the second part of "fast-thinking" comes into play.
Higher-order machine thinking requires the analytics engine to seek out meaningful patterns that will differentiate the real anomalies from the noise. It does this by referencing historical and other contextual data that already exists. It then applies machine learning algorithms to determine how to find the right answers…quickly.
And that's just the start of the real-time analytics process. In addition to finding anomalies data, the RTA engine can focus on customer impact, finding how failing network switches and other components may be combining to affect specific customer groups. This is something that's typically invisible to the network operations manager.
Real-time analytics can go further. They can help you locate groups of customers or other users who might be affected by an event that's out of the network's control, for instance, an operating system upgrade sent by a smart phone supplier. With this information, you can alert these customers in advance and proactively suggest remediations or work-arounds. And a real-time analytics infrastructure can automatically trigger workflows, or create trouble tickets, to generate proactive equipment fixes before the failures occur.
All this may sound like magic, but it's possible today with a contemporary RTA infrastructure.
The best examples of such an infrastructure will be cloud based. This avoids the heavy capital investments in computing machinery that would be needed for an on-premise equivalent. Also, an effective RTA infrastructure will feature a variety of built-in tools for helping users and developers create applications that will be customized for specific needs. These include a graphic-based low-code development environment and process templates that can help jump-start analytic applications.
The result is a high-performing and highly flexible RTA infrastructure that can be adapted to changing needs and opportunities, and that will make the most of your analytics investment dollars.

Healthcare Minister claims insufficient funding of medical branch in 2021
Ukraine could suffer bad loss of assets unless the government raises salaries for doctors, Maksym Stepanov says
Ukraine's Minister of Health Maksym Stepanov
Healthcare Minister Maksym Stepanov believes that the funding of medical branch in Ukraine's 2021 state budget is currently insufficient. He said so on a briefing on December 16.
"The budgeted costs are not enough to fund the medicine", said the official.
He expressed his opinion that the medicine in Ukraine has been always funded based on what remained in the budget, not based on the first necessity principle.
Stepanov also stated that Ukraine could suffer a bad loss of assets unless the government raises salaries for doctors.

"Yesterday, the state budget for 2021 was approved. Our offers that the Ministry had filed, proceeding from their accounts were not taken into consideration. Yes, we see an increase in the total amount of costs to fund the medical branch, but the increase does not mean it is enough to supprot the work of our healthcare system", Stepanov said.
Over the last 24 hours, Ukrainian doctors confirmed 10,622 new cases of coronavirus. 12,549 people recovered during this period. Maksym Stepanov, the Healthcare Minister reported that on Facebook.
919,704 cases of coronavirus have been detected in this country since the pandemic began. 535,417 people recovered (+12,549 per 24 hours), and 15,744 (+264) deceased.
Most of the cases were detected in Kyiv (1,858), Odesa region (861), Zaporizhya region (801), Kyiv region (705) and Lviv region (600).

Trump Considers Fast-Tracking AstraZeneca Covid Vaccine Ahead Of Elections
Trump Considers Fast-Tracking AstraZeneca Covid Vaccine Ahead Of Elections Tyler Durden Sun, 08/23/2020 - 14:26
With Trump expected to make a "major therapeutic announcement" at 530pm "sharp", and tweeting that the "important White House news conference" will be "very good news"...
Important White House News Conference at 5:30 (sharp) today. Very good news!
... speculation is rampant what Trump will announce.
One clue comes from the Financial Times which moments ago reported that the Trump administration is "considering the bypassing normal US regulatory standards to fast-track an experimental coronavirus vaccine from the UK for use in America ahead of the presidential election."
The FT is referring to a covid vaccine trial being conducted by AstraZeneca, and whose fast-tracking "would involve the US Food and Drug Administration awarding 'emergency use authorisation' (EUA) in October to a vaccine being developed in a partnership between AstraZeneca and Oxford university, based on the results from a relatively small UK study if it is successful, the people said."
One problem is that accelerating the AZN study would prompt concerns that it does not comply with US regulations, and that its safety would not have tested on a sufficient large group of people:
The AstraZeneca study has enrolled 10,000 volunteers, whereas the US government's scientific agencies have said that a vaccine would need to be studied in 30,000 people to pass the threshold for authorisation. AstraZeneca is also conducting a larger study with 30,000 volunteers, although the results from that will come after the smaller trial.
Trump is said to be eager to rush out a vaccine before the elections to allow him "to claim he has turned the tide" on the virus, especially as Democratic criticism of his handling of the pandemic has emerged as one of the main presidential election criticisms of his administration. In his convention speech on Thursday night, Joe Biden said that the US response to the virus was the "worst performance of any nation."
According to the FT, Mark Meadows, Trump's chief of staff, and Steven Mnuchin, Treasury secretary, have told top Democrats that the administration was considering fast-tracking a vaccine, according to one person briefed on a July 30 meeting the pair held with Nancy Pelosi. Meadows said in the meeting that "there could be emergency authorization, possibly for the AstraZeneca vaccine, in September. Mr Mnuchin added that the administration expected an EUA for a vaccine before full approval, said the person, who added that Ms Pelosi warned that there should be "no cutting corners" in the vaccine approval process."
That said, a spokesperson for the Treasury secretary was quick to deny this, saying "Secretary Mnuchin did not make any comments regarding AstraZeneca, nor is he familiar with the specifics of the AstraZeneca vaccine candidate. He is also not aware of any plans the FDA may have regarding any emergency use authorisation for any potential vaccine, beyond what he has heard publicly stated. The secretary believes, and has always believed, that any decision on vaccine candidates and any possible EUA is up to the FDA."
Also casting doubt on speculation that Trump will announce the fast-tracking of a vaccine is Michael Caputo, a spokesperson for the US health and human services department (which contains the FDA) who said any claim that the administration would issue an EUA before the election was "absolutely false." Echoing Bank of America's latest timeline, Caputo said the administration was hopeful that a vaccine would be developed by the first quarter of 2021
"We have always been working towards that goal. I've never been told at any point in time that that goal has changed," he said. "Talk of an October surprise is a lurid resistance fantasy. Irresponsible talk of an unsafe or ineffective vaccine being approved for public use is designed to undermine the president's coronavirus response."
A spokesperson for AstraZeneca told the FT that it had "not discussed emergency use authorisation with the US government" and that it "would be premature to speculate on that possibility."
Of course, it wouldn't be the first time that Trump has "surprised" his own staffers. In this case, however, an unexpected fast-tracking of a potential covid vaccine will likely lead to another round of resignations (especially since there appears to be a lot of political backroom dealing seeking to promote Gilead's Remdesivir as the vaccine of choice although doubts have been case after it emerged that Remdesivir may only provide modest benefit against 'moderate' COVID-19). As the FT notes, if the FDA, which is led by commissioner Stephen Hahn, were to grant emergency approval to the AstraZeneca vaccine based on the Oxford study, "it could provoke a string of resignations from the agency."
Earlier this week, Peter Marks, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research — which is responsible for assessing the vaccines — told Reuters that he would resign if the agency were to approve a jab before definitive data showing it was safe and effective.
"I could not stand by and see something that was unsafe or ineffective that was being put through," Dr Marks said. "You have to decide where your red line is, and that's my red line."
He went on: "I would feel obligated [to resign] because in doing so, I would indicate to the American public that there's something wrong."
An FT source siad that if Dr Marks were to quit, other scientists in his division of FDA would follow suit.
But while a round of FDA departures may not bother Trump, the lack of uptake of the vaccine by a skeptical public will surely be a major concern.
For one thing, as the FT notes, the relatively small UK trial was not designed to produce sufficient data of the kind that would be required for emergency authorisation in the US. US drugmakers Moderna and Pfizer, which are also trialling vaccines, both plan to enrol 30,000 participants in Phase III studies they started in July. Moderna said it would complete enrollment by the end of September, while Pfizer has said it has already enrolled 11,000.
An FT source briefed on the plan said: "I don't see a way forward for [AstraZeneca]," based on the 10,000-person trial. "They're not going to get there. They won't have the clinical end points."
Paul Offit, a vaccine expert at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, echoed the skepticism saying it would be "very disappointing" if the Trump administration were preparing such a plan before it had even seen the data because it risked "politicising the science", although that particular horse has long ago left the barn. He added that even if the study were successful, a 10,000-person trial would not be large enough to rule out rarer side effects. "The job of the FDA is to protect the American public if they see these data as inadequate."
The FDA's Hahn already faced criticism earlier this year after the FDA granted emergency approval for hydroxychloroquine - an unproven drug repeatedly touted by Mr Trump - before reversing its decision when multiple studies showed the drug was not an effective treatment for coronavirus.
Others have also chimed in on the importance of following proper procedure:
In June, Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, told CNN: "Each vaccine needs to be tested on about 30,000 volunteers. We don't believe that we have enough power in the analysis, to be able to document the vaccine works unless you get to roughly that number."
Robert Redfield, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Infection, told the FT on Friday: "Although we have talked about doing this at 'warp speed', it is not through any cuts in our efforts for vaccine safety or scientific integrity. I am confident there will be all the rigour we have always had for developing vaccines for human requirements."
The decision over whether to fast-track a so-far unproven vaccine also involves none other than Anthony Fauci, with the FT concluding that the administration's exploration of ways to circumvent normal procedures "had prompted infighting among the government's top scientists. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Dr Collins are stressing the importance of scientific rigour whereas Moncef Slaoui, the White House's vaccine tsar, wants to forge ahead, the person said."
Judging by the tone of Trump's tweet, those pushing for "forging ahead" have gotten the upper hand.
But even if Trump decides to pursue a fast-tracking, he will face other challenges, not the lest of which is widespread skepticism within the US - and especially among his own core base - toward a vaccine, any vaccine.
As we reported earlier quoting from Bank of America, "even in the best of times, many people refuse to get a flu shot. Americans seem particularly skeptical about public health policy. If masks are unacceptable, what about shots of a brand new drug? A RIWI survey in June and July found big differences across countries (Chart 1). Certainly we would expect the initial take-up to be slow. After all, there have been a lot of confusing public health messages. Such caution is to some degree warranted, with the vaccines being rushed to market without knowledge of the long-term side effects."
One final point, also from Bank of America: "It is also important to note that rolling out a vaccine will not immediately end all social distancing behavior. Some people will respond quickly as pent-up demand is released, taking that long-delayed vacation, for example. However, we assume the majority of people will re-engage slowly as they become more comfortable that the health risk is indeed gone. Some activities could take very long to fully recover."
