Meth fueled chase earns Patrick Fitzsimmons of Sherman 20 years in prison
By Jerrie Whiteley, Herald Democrat
Patrick Fitzsimmons, 43, had been a methamphetamine addict for about 20 years on Jan. 16, 2018 when his drug use caused him to chase a Grayson County corrections officer around downtown and in to the parking lot at the Sherman Police Department.
Wednesday in the 15th state District Court, Fitzsimmons begged and pleaded with Judge Jim Fallon to allow him to seek treatment while on deferred adjudication instead of going back to prison.
Fitzsimmons said he wanted another chance to be a father to his two sons, now 17 and 20, and a chance to own his sobriety. He said he knew he deserved whatever Fallon might decide to give him, but he was asking for one more shot at probation.
Fitzsimmons will have to serve at least half of the 20 years Fallon sentenced him to before he will become eligible for parole.
Grayson County District Attorney Brett Smith played a 911 call in which a Grayson County jailer calmly, much more calmly than many could have probably managed in a similar situation, described Fitzsimmons tailing her through downtown Sherman, out to the U.S. Highway 75 access road, down that road to FM 1417 and across the bridge to State Highway 11 and back through town.
The corrections officer said she first saw the silver truck Fitzsimmons was driving that day as she was leaving the Grayson County Jail staff parking. She didn't think much of it as she left and he followed her out to the highway. But once she was headed south, she noticed he was making moves that indicated he was following her. She said when he followed her back toward town on Hwy 11 she knew he was following her. He then removed all doubt by getting out of his truck and ranting and raving at her when they were stopped momentarily.
She called 911 and was told to head back to the Sherman Police Station. When she got there, she jumped out of her vehicle and ran into the 911 answering area where staff locked the doors behind her. Sherman Police Officer Kevin Garbacik was waiting to stop him. When asked why he was following the corrections officer, Fitzsimmons gave rambling answers about the failure of his marriage and his estranged wife's interest in another man.
That was actually the second time that police had interacted with Fitzsimmons that day. Earlier in the day, he had been pulled over after police were called because he was acting strangely at his estranged wife's father's house. He had threatened to take his wife's car. His father-in-law told Smith that Fitzsimmons "had pretty wild eyes" and looked like he was high on meth. After failing to stop for a Sherman officer, a Texas Department of Public Safety officer was able to stop Fitzsimmons. But, he hadn't hurt anyone and was allowed to go after getting ticketed.
Sherman Attorney Pamela McGraw asked each witness if they thought that Fitzsimmons suffered from an addiction to drugs and most of them said that they did believe that. She asked if each witness if they thought treatment would help Fitzsimmons. Each said it would, but most said he would have to really want it.
Fitzsimmons said he did want it. He said he had never made use of treatment before because when he was younger, he thought he could just put the meth down and rebuild his life. But, he couldn't.
"I believe you mean what you are saying now," Fallon told Fitzsimmons as he prepared to sentence the man to his fourth term in prison. Fallon said he compared the danger of what Fitzsimmons had done to a driving while intoxicated third offense, and if it were just a matter of Fitzsimmons using meth again, then he might have considered a more treatment oriented sentence. But Fitzsimmons had already put someone else's life in danger once and there wasn't a lot to show that he wouldn't do it again if his resolve to stay clean faltered.
The plea agreement that landed Fitzsimmons in front of Fallon capped the sentence he could get at 25 years after the DA dropped the aggravated assault with a deadly weapon retaliation charge that Fitzsimmons had faced in the matter.
Fallon said he would not go below the cap but he was sentencing Fitzsimmons to prison. He must also pay court costs. Fallon asked if there was any restitution due in the case and Smith said that insurance had paid for any restitution that was due. McGraw pointed out that it had been Fitzsimmons' insurance that paid that restitution.
After the case, Smith said he thinks the sentence was appropriate and had Fitzsimmons gone to trial, 25 years would have been the starting point for the punishment.
"I understand addiction," Smith said, but added that what people need to understand is that meth addiction has collateral consequences.
"People who use meth do things other than just use or sell meth," Smith said. "These are often people who commit murders, who end up raping or sexually assaulting our children. These are the people who commit the vast majority of property crimes."

Amanda Knox Interview, Book to go on as Planned
Jamie A. April 11, 2013 0
Despite the recent Italian court ruling striking down the acquittal of an American college student, plans for Amanda Knox's memoir and an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer will go forward.
"Waiting to Be Heard," the memoir of Knox caught up in her roommate's murder investigation will be released on April 30, 2013.
"As planned, HarperCollins will publish Amanda Knox's book… and will move forward with the interviews that we have scheduled," said HarperCollins spokesperson Tina Andreadis.
According to reports, an ABC spokesman confirmed the interview hasn't been recorded yet and is still scheduled to air on a special primetime broadcast on April 30.
It's believed that Italian prosecutors won't be able to force Knox to return to Italy to be retried in the murder of her roommate.
Legal analyst Kendall Coffey says, "Of course, [they're] going to demand that she return,'' Coffey, told Newsmax TV's "The Steve Malzberg Show.''
"[But] extradition is a time consuming process. It requires facilitation by the State Department and then you have a judicial right in the federal courts to fight extradition."
Coffey said that under U.S. law, trying Knox again for the same crime would be considered double jeopardy.
Knox, from the Seattle area, moved to Perugia, Italy for a study-abroad program in 2007. Her British roommate Meredith Kercher was found murdered in their small bungalow.
Police charged Knox, her new boyfriend Rafaele Sollecito and Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast resident living in the city, with the murder. Knox and Sollecito's conviction was overturned on appeal in October 2011, when their lawyers raised questions about the handling of the evidence, and the pair were freed. Guede remains in jail.


Coolum Beach is a beachside town on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia and is also the beach around which the town is based.HistoryThe name is derived from the local Undumbi word gulum or guloom, meaning "blunt" or "headless", referring to the shape of Mount Coolum, which has no peak.According to Aboriginal legend, Ninderry knocked off Coolum's head and it fell into the ocean and is now Mudjimba Island.The Coolum district was the traditional land of the Inabara or Yinneburra clan of the Undanbi Tribe. In turn, they were part of the larger group of the Kabi Kabi.In 1823, the first Europeans to pass through Coolum were castaways and shipwrecked sailors. The first land selection in Coolum was made in 1871 by Grainger Ward - a pastoral lease of 255 hectares. Here, Ward ran upwards of 300 head of cattle. In 1881, Mark Blasdall selected his own lease of 252 hectares. Blasdall was the first to plan sugarcane in the area and to cut timber. He built two huts and a sawmill as well as clearing Coolum Creek, thus enabling steampships to enter to load timber and deliver supplies. By 1882 the steampships 'Tadorna Radjah' and 'Gneering' began to regularly travel from Brisbane to Coolum creek. In 1883 the first Coolum land was freehold and by 1884, Blasdall was declared insolvent and his land freeholded.The first permanent settler of Coolum was William Perry-Keene and his family in 1905. His home was called "Green Hills" and was situated at the corner of Beach Road, Daytona and Key West Avenues. Between 1906 and 1912 many people settled permanently in the region. By 1912 there were eight to 12 families living in the district. In 1909, Coulsin established a mailboat service on the Maroochy River. This provided the first regular connection between Coolum and the railhead at Yandina. In 1911, a horse-drawn tramline and punt loading facilities were built at Coolum Creek.
Coolum Beach is in Sunshine Coast. Use our Australia trip itinerary builder website to plan your trip to Coolum Beach and other destinations in Australia.

When DG's Fiery Angel appeared I was as loud as anyone in applauding their initiative; this is a belter of an opera and it had to wait far too long for its first CD recording. However, as regards the performance I was less welcoming than most critics. At the time I had the 1957 Charles Bruck LPs to remind me what was missing under Jarvi; but that performance is in French and has long since been consigned to the rarity department. Soon after the DG issue came the Covent Garden production, superbly conducted by Sir Edward Downes. That was a shared enterprise with the Kirov/Maryinsky, and those who saw the London performances will know that they were only a qualified success. But now there is Gergiev and his home team in a live recording of the same production, and at last we have something close to the music's full potential revealed.
The opera itself is no blameless masterpiece – Prokofiev's indulgence in lurid sensationalism sometimes gets the better of his artistic judgement, as I explained in my earlier reveiw. But that sounds a pretty po-faced judgement in the face of the overwhelming power which so much of this score exudes. Or should exude. It was Jarvi, in his interview with David Nice in the July 1991 Gramophone (page 14), who put his finger on the problem: "You need remarkable singers who are intelligent enough to understand what Prokofiev is asking of them, dramatically speaking, and you need a great conductor of the symphonic repertoire who can make a symphony out of the opera – but in the opera house." The fact is that Gorchakova and Leiferkus in the new Philips recording live up to that billing far more than Jarvi's brave but ultimately over-faced soloists. And Gergiev, whatever his credentials in the symphonic repertoire, gets orchestral playing of far greater weight, drive, precision and character than Jarvi's Gothenburgers can muster.
The comparison is of course unfair, as the Maryinsky performance comes live from what is clearly a highly-charged occasion in one of the world's great opera houses. That brings with it the disadvantage of a constrained opera-pit acoustic, which makes some of Prokofiev's over-the-top scoring seem pretty congested. But the immediacy and clarity of the sound, plus the orchestra's rhythmic grasp, ensures that the effect is still properly blood-curdling.
If Leiferkus's distinctive rich baritone at first sounds a touch microphoney, the ear can soon adjust to that too, and Gorchakova brings intense beauty as well as intensity to Renata's hysterics, taking us inside the psychological drama in a way DG's Nadine Secunde was always struggling to achieve. The supporting roles are filled with more consistent distinction than either DG or Covent Garden could muster, and this makes a huge difference to the sustaining of dramatic tension, the crescendo which Prokofiev aimed to build through his five acts.
Considering the extent of the stage goings-on there is remarkably little audience distraction on the recording. Inevitably there is some clumping around from the acrobats, and those who have not seen the staged version will not realise what an inspired touch it was on David Freeman's part to include them, as representations of Renata's delusions.

Women are always in search for something special and innovative. What can be better than the recreation of antique jewelry from the Golden Era. The antique jewelry belongs to the rulers and the Mughal period that ruled in India for several years. Their jewelry is precious and inventive. Many makers have created new models of the antique jewelry to be able to sell it to the common man. Huge necklaces, Kundan made earrings, jhumkas, etc. are some of the jewelry that were used by the queens of the ancient history. The designs of these jewellery had several patterns and they were crafted in the finest way.
It might be a simple pearl necklace or a heavy ornamented chain that were used by queens and princesses. Then comes the use of diamond bangles and hair pins. All of these jewelry were made of pure diamond and they used to shine and glitter all the time that the queens wore them. These jewelry are kept safely in museums so that the makers can take note of them and it will help them to make these at a more reasonable price. South India was famous for the jewelry that they used to possess.

Q: Combining Stack, Drawer and Tab Navigator I am having trouble realising the following:
I want a Tab Navigation with two Tabs: Home and Map.
In the Home Tab I want a Drawer Navigation. Within the Drawer Navigation I want to be able to Navigate to the screens Profile and About. When clicking the Back Button from Profile or About, I want to come back to the open Drawer Menu.
Currently I have this:
import React from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/bottom-tabs';
import { createDrawerNavigator } from '@react-navigation/drawer';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';

import DrawerContent from './DrawerContent';
import Mapp from './Mapp';
import Home from './Home';
import Profile from './Profile';
import About from './About';

const Stack = createStackNavigator();
const Drawer = createDrawerNavigator();
const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();

const HomeStackNavigator = () => {
    return <Stack.Navigator>
        <Stack.Screen
            name='Tab'
            component={TabNavigator} />
        <Stack.Screen
            name='Profile'
            component={Profile} />
        <Stack.Screen
            name='About'
            component={About} />
    </Stack.Navigator>
}

const TabNavigator = () => {
    return <Tab.Navigator>
        <Tab.Screen name='Home' component={Home} />
        <Tab.Screen name='Map' component={Mapp} />
    </Tab.Navigator>
}

const DrawerNavigator = () => {
    return <Drawer.Navigator
        drawerContent={props => DrawerContent(props)}>
        <Drawer.Screen name='Home' component={HomeStackNavigator} />
    </Drawer.Navigator>
}

const Navigation = () => {
    return <NavigationContainer>
        <DrawerNavigator />
    </NavigationContainer >
}

and <DrawerContent /> looks like this
import React from 'react';
import {
    DrawerContentScrollView,
    DrawerItemList,
    DrawerItem,
} from '@react-navigation/drawer';

const DrawerContent = props => {
    return <DrawerContentScrollView {...props}>
        <DrawerItemList {...props} />
        <DrawerItem label='Profile' onPress={() => props.navigation.navigate('Profile')} />
        <DrawerItem label='About' onPress={() => props.navigation.navigate('About')} />

    </DrawerContentScrollView>
}

export default DrawerContent;

This gives me
The Tab Navigation (why is there a header with title Tab, I don't want this, but I must set name prop in <HomeStackNavigator />).

Then I can open the Drawer (works as expected)

When I click on i.e. Profile I am only able to go back to Tab. Why not to Drawer?

What also drives me nuts is, that I cannot remove the Home Menu Item in the Drawer.

A: The drawer doesn't open in that scenario, you will need to open it yourself:
const HomeStackNavigator = () => {
    return <Stack.Navigator>
        <Stack.Screen
            name='Tab'
            component={TabNavigator} />
        <Stack.Screen
            name='Profile'
            component={Profile}
            options={({ navigation }) => ({
               title: '',
              headerLeft: () => (
              <Button
                title="<"
                onPress={() => {
                  navigation.goBack();
                  navigation.openDrawer();
              }}
            />
          ),
        })}/>
        <Stack.Screen
            name='About'
            component={About} />
    </Stack.Navigator>
}

Here's a working Snack.

The country singer, 29, performed at the Birmingham venue on March 30, vowing to help his hometown repair and recover. Tornadoes ripped through Jacksonville on March 19, causing damage and destruction.
Under an agreement with Iron City, all proceeds from ticket sales will go to tornado relief in Jacksonville. Half of the money is earmarked for Jacksonville State University, Green said. Proceeds from the show will be funneled through the Jacksonville State University Foundation.
Green, born and raised in Jacksonville, is a former student at Jacksonville State. He played quarterback for the Gamecocks from 2008 to 2010, but left college when his music aspirations took hold.
He's gained a measure of fame for EPs such as "Bury Me in Dixie," "County Line" and "Outlaws Like Us," but Green still lives in Jacksonville and recently built a house there. It emerged unscathed from the storms, but Green said he has friends and acquaintances who weren't so lucky.
"I was in Nashville when the tornado came in, and it was a pretty nerve-wracking time," Green said during an interview with AL.com. "I got back to town (on March 22) and pictures didn't really do it justice. Not being in town, not able to get out there with a chainsaw, clearing roads ... As a singer-songwriter, I started to think about what I could do."
Green donated his time and talents to the Iron City concert. His bandmates and two special guests, singer-songwriters Kyle Coulahan and Adam Hood, did the same.
Todd Hagerty, general manager of the entertainment complex at 513 22nd St. South, confirmed that Iron City planned to cover all of its concert expenses for the show, essentially donating the costs of sound and lighting, equipment load-in and load-out, security, box office staff and more.
"This is something Riley Green wanted to do," Hagerty said. "It's the right thing to do."
The main stage area at Iron City can hold about 1,300 people. Tickets for the show were priced at $20 general admission, $100 VIP.
With the help of some great fans we raised $50,000 for Jacksonville last night. Big thanks to everyone who came out and supported my hometown and @jacksonvillestateuniversity thanks to @ironcitybham for hosting the event and thanks to all the guys that played @adamhoodmusic @davekennedymusic @treylewismusic @kylecoulahan @benmillermusic @earthquinnandfire @tylergallowaygtr @robjoycemusic @alejandro_medina_3 @65southal @randimcfadden @joeleenash photo cred: @dvnaman

IS WINNING ALL THAT COUNTS?
AUTHOR: admin // CATEGORY: Silver Awards
Vitoria-based athlete Iván Fernández Anaya refused to take advantage when his rival stopped short of the finishing line in a cross-country race. Spanish athlete Iván Fernández Anaya was competing in a cross-country race in Burlada, Navarre. He was running second, some distance behind race leader Abel Mutai – bronze medalist in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the London Olympics. As they entered the finishing straight, he saw the Kenyan runner – the certain winner of the race – mistakenly pull up about 10 meters before the finish, thinking he had already crossed the line. Fernández Anaya quickly caught up with him, but instead of exploiting Mutai's mistake to speed past and claim an unlikely victory, he stayed behind and, using gestures, guided the Kenyan to the line and let him cross first.
"I didn't deserve to win it," says 24-year-old Fernández Anaya. "I did what I had to do. He was the rightful winner. He created a gap that I couldn't have closed if he hadn't made a mistake. As soon as I saw he was stopping, I knew I wasn't going to pass him. But even if they had told me that winning would have earned me a place in the Spanish team for the European championships, I also think that I have earned more of a name having done what I did than if I had won. And that is very important, because today, with the way things are in all circles, in soccer, in society, in politics, where it seems anything goes, a gesture of honesty goes down well."

Douglas County receives another federal disaster declaration, this one for April's heavy rain
CARISA CEGAVSKE Senior Staff Writer The News-Review
Carisa Cegavske
The rainstorms that brought landslides and floods in April have been declared a major disaster by the federal government, Sen. Ron Wyden announced in a press release Wednesday.
Douglas County is among six counties named in the declaration. President Donald Trump approved the declaration, sought by Gov. Kate Brown and members of Oregon's Congressional delegation.
The declaration will clear the way for $8.2 million in federal funding to repair infrastructure and allow local governments, residents and businesses to apply for loans and other relief to pay for the cost of repairs.
Rainstorms hitting the region between April 6 and April 21 led to floods, landslides and other difficulties for Douglas County and the other counties listed in the declaration — Curry, Grant, Linn, Umatilla and Wheeler.
In Douglas County, more than 3 inches of rain fell in a 72-hour period ending April 9, swelling rivers, causing minor flooding and forcing highway closures as debris and landslides blocked roads.
It's not the county's first major disaster declaration this year. The February snowstorm that toppled trees and wiped out power for weeks in some areas of the county was declared a major disaster in May.
Snowmelt from that storm exacerbated the problems caused by April's heavy rains.
"These storms brought flooding and landslides that devastated communities, damaging bridges, roads and other critical infrastructure used by Oregonians living in these counties," Wyden said. "I heard at my recent town halls throughout Oregon that relief is desperately needed to help rebuild these communities and help Oregonians facing these losses."
Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Springfield, said the funds will support critical public assistance projects and repairs to public infrastructure.
"April's severe weather caused millions of dollars in damage to the Willamette Valley and southwest Oregon, and I'm pleased that funds will be provided to help us rebuild and reinforce our infrastructure in case of flooding in the future," DeFazio said.

Human quadruple-stranded DNA discovered
By Daniel Jacobson
Appeared in BioNews 1057
Quadruple-stranded DNA has been observed in healthy human cells for the first time, shedding light on its possible role in cancer.
Scientists based at the universities of Cambridge and Leeds, and Imperial College London, are now able to visualise and track this structure, formed from four separate DNA strands, in living cells. This will allow them to investigate its function and role within its natural environment.
'This forces us to rethink the biology of DNA' said Imperial's Dr Marco Di Antonio, who co-lead of the project. 'It is a new area of fundamental biology, and could open up new avenues in diagnosis and therapy of diseases like cancer.'
DNA, which is normally held in a two-stranded double helix structure, has been observed in its quadruple-stranded form before. However, this required either killing the cells, or using large volumes of chemical probes which would interact with the structures themselves.
Using a technique called single-molecule microscopy, the researchers were able to use much smaller amounts of fluorescent markers to identify the structures. This allowed the markers to bind very quickly with the DNA without altering its shape, enabling its formation and activity to be tracked and analysed.
The researchers have suggested that quadruple-stranded DNA arises in order to temporarily hold the double helix open, allowing it to be expressed and for proteins to be produced – making it a type of temporary epigenetic modification. These structures were found to be far more common in cancer cells than in healthy tissue and are normally associated with genes with established roles in cancer.
With greater knowledge of the role played by quadruple-stranded DNA, Dr Di Antonio hopes that this research will pave the way for further work into possible cancer treatments:
'We know [quadruple-stranded DNA] appears to be more prevalent in cancer cells', he said, 'and now we can probe what role it is playing and potentially how to block it, potentially devising new therapies.'
The research was published in Nature Chemistry.

300 Nigerian students kidnapped by Boko Haram returning home
More than 300 schoolboys abducted last week by armed men in northwest Nigeria have been released, a government official said Thursday.
In an announcement on Nigerian state TV, NTA, Katsina State Gov. Aminu Bello Masari said the 344 boarding school students were turned over to security officials and were being brought to the state capital, where they will get physical examinations before being reunited with their families.
"I think we can say … we have recovered most of the boys, if not all of them," Masari said. He did not disclose if the government paid any ransom.
President Muhammadu Buhari welcomed their release, calling it "a big relief to their families, the entire country and to the international community," according to a statement from his office. Amid an outcry in the West African nation over insecurity in the north, Buhari noted his administration's successful efforts to secure the release of previously abducted students. He added that the government "is acutely aware of its responsibility to protect the life and property of the Nigerians."
"We have a lot of work to do, especially now that we have reopened the borders," Buhari said, acknowledging that the Northwest region "presents a problem" the administration "is determined to deal with."
Boko Haram claimed responsibility for last Friday's abduction of the students from the all-boys Government Science Secondary School in the Katsina State village of Kankara. The jihadist group carried out the attack because it believes Western education is un-Islamic, factional leader Abubakar Shekau said in a video earlier this week. More than 800 students were in attendance at the time of the attack. Hundreds escaped, but it was believed that more than 330 were taken.
For more than 10 years, Boko Haram has engaged in a bloody campaign to introduce strict Islamic rule in Nigeria's north. Thousands have been killed and more than 1 million have been displaced by the violence. The group has been mainly active in northeast Nigeria, but with the abductions from the school in Kankara, there is worry the insurgency is expanding to the northwest.
The government had said it was negotiating with the school attackers, originally described as bandits. Experts say the attack was likely carried out by local gangs, who have staged increasingly deadly assaults in northwest Nigeria this year, and could possibly have been collaborating with Boko Haram. Armed bandits have killed more than 1,100 people since the beginning of the year in the region, according to Amnesty International.
Parents of the missing students have been gathering daily at the school in Kankara. News of the students' release came shortly after the release of a video Thursday by Boko Haram that purportedly showed the abducted boys.
In the more than six-minute video seen by Associated Press journalists, the apparent captors tell one boy to repeat their demands that the government call off its search for them by troops and aircraft.
The video circulated widely on WhatsApp and first appeared on a Nigerian news site, HumAngle, that often reports on Boko Haram.
Usama Aminu, a 17-year-old kidnapped student who was eventually able to escape, told the AP that his captors wore military uniforms. He said he also saw gun-toting teens, some younger than him, aiding the attackers.
He said the kidnapped boys tried to help each other as bandits flogged them from behind to get them to move faster and forced them to lie down under large trees when helicopters were heard above.
Aminu escaped at night. He was able to return home after being found by a resident in a mosque who gave him a change of clothes and money.
Government officials said earlier this week that police, the air force and the army tracked the kidnappers to a hideout in the Zango/Paula forest.
Katsina state shut down all its boarding schools to prevent other abductions. The nearby states of Zamfara, Jigiwa and Kano also have closed schools as a precaution.
Masari said the government will work with the police to increase private security at the Kankara school "to make sure that we don't experience what we have experienced in the last six days."
Only one policeman was working at the school when it was attacked.
Friday's abduction was a chilling reminder of Boko Haram's previous attacks on schools. In February 2014, 59 boys were killed when the jihadists attacked the Federal Government College Buni Yadi in Yobe state.
In April 2014, Boko Haram kidnapped more than 270 schoolgirls from a government boarding school in Chibok in northeastern Borno state. About 100 of those girls are still missing.
In 2018, Boko Haram Islamic extremists brought back nearly all of the 110 girls they had kidnapped from a boarding school in Dapchi and warned: "Don't ever put your daughters in school again."

"Dolphin" attacks can trick voice assistants
Research teams work out hacking method for AI voice assistants
Sam Bridgett
Voice assistants are one of the better Living In The Future developments of recent years, allowing you to control various things in your house and on your phone with only your own dulcet tones. But as with any new tech, there are kinks to work out, and researchers have found a way to hack the machines.
The Amazon, Google and Apple assistants have all been found to respond to commands broadcast in ultrasonic frequencies that can be heard by dolphins but not humans. A Chinese research team has reported being able to make smartphones with the assistants enabled dial phone numbers and visit websites. Additionally, an American team working on a separate study has been able to activate the Amazon Echo smart speaker using the same method. The latter said the attack worked because the target machine's microphone processed the audio and interpreted it as being human speech.
"After processing this ultrasound, the microphone's recording… is quite similar to the normal voice," they said in a research paper.
As long as attackers use each assistant's key phrase that acts as a wake word ("OK Google", "Hey Siri" for Apple or "Alexa" for Amazon), the malicious controlling works. It is worth noting, though, that Google's assistant can be set up to only work for one person's voice, Siri requires a smartphone to be unlocked before performing activities such as visiting websites, and both Siri and Google's wake word feature can be turned off.
"Although the devices are not designed to handle ultrasound, if you put something just outside the range of human hearing, the assistant can still receive it so it's certainly possible," said Dr Steven Murdoch, a cyber-security researcher at University College London.
"Whether it's realistic is another question. At the moment there's not a great deal of harm that could be caused by the attack. Smart speakers are designed not to do harmful things. I would expect the smart speaker vendors will be able to do something about it and ignore the higher frequencies."
Google and Amazon have both released statements saying they're investigating the claims made in the researchers' papers.

Novel SERD Reduces Risk of Death by 30% in HR+ Breast Cancer
Roxanne Nelson, RN, BSN
As compared to standard of care, an investigational oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) demonstrated a 30% lower risk of death or disease progression in women with estrogen receptor (ER)–positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer.
Findings from the phase 3 EMERALD trial, presented today at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) 2021, revealed that the effects of elacestrant (Menarini Group & Radius Health) were even more pronounced in women with ESR1 mutations. Women in the elacestrant arm had a 45% reduced risk of death or disease progression in comparison with those who received standard of care.
This new agent is the "first oral SERD to demonstrate a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement of progression-free survival in patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer in the second- and third-line settings," said lead author Aditya Bardia, MD, MPH, director of the breast cancer research program at Mass General Cancer Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School, Boston. "Clinically, elacestrant has the potential to become the new standard of care in the study population."
Endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitors remain the mainstay for the management of ER+/HER2 metastatic breast cancer. However, most patients will eventually develop resistance to these agents, often caused by the development of ESR1 mutations.
At the current time, fulvestrant is the only SERD available on the US market, which means there is an urgent unmet need for new, effective SERDs in this setting, especially for patients harboring ESR1 mutations, Bardia explained.
In an early phase 1 trial, Bardia and his team evaluated elacestrant for safety and antitumor activity and found it had an acceptable safety profile and demonstrated single-agent activity with confirmed partial responses in heavily pretreated patients with ER+ metastatic breast cancer.
This trial provided the rationale for investigating elacestrant in a phase 3 setting, Bardia said.
The multicenter, randomized, controlled phase 3 EMERALD trial included 477 postmenopausal women with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer who had received one or two prior lines of endocrine therapy and no more than one line of chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. Patients had also progressed on prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Patients were randomized to elacestrant 400 mg orally daily (n = 239) or standard of care (investigator's choice of fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor, n = 238). The cohorts were further stratified by ESR1 mutation status, prior fulvestrant exposure, and presence of visceral disease.
The co-primary endpoints were progression-free survival in patients with tumors harboring ESR1 mutations and in the entire cohort. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, safety, tolerability, and quality of life.
"This was a positive study as it met both primary endpoints," said Bardia.
The team found a 30% reduction in the risk of progression or death in the elacestrant arm for all patients (HR, 0.697; P = .0018) and a 45% (HR, 0.546; P =.0005) reduction in the risk of progression or death among those with ESR1 mutations.
At 12 months, the progression-free survival rate was 22.32% with elacestrant vs 9.42% for those receiving the standard of care. Among the ESR1 mutation group, those rates were slightly more pronounced: 26.76% with elacestrant vs 8.19% with standard of care.
Overall survival data were not yet mature but trended in favor of elacestrant in all patients (HR, 0.751; P = .0821) as well as those with ESR1 mutations (HR, 0.592; P = .0325). The final overall survival analysis is expected next year, Bardia said.
Common treatment-related adverse events with elacestrant vs standard of care included mostly grade 1 or 2 nausea (25.3% vs 8.7%), vomiting (11% vs 2.6%), and fatigue (11% vs 7.9%). The rate of grade ≥3 adverse events was 7.2% in the elacestrant arm vs 3.1% in the standard-of-care group and was mainly driven by nausea. Treatment-emergent adverse events leading to discontinuation of elacestrant or standard of care were infrequent in both arms (6.3% and 4.4%, respectively). No treatment-related deaths occurred in either group.
Bardia added that further studies are planned. Those studies will assess the efficacy of elacestrant during earlier lines of treatment and in combination with other therapies, such as CDK4/6 inhibitors.
Weighing in on the recent findings, Carlos Arteaga, MD, who was not involved in the research, said this represents an important study evaluating a therapeutic priority.
"The data suggest that [elacestrant] may be a new option, not only as monotherapy but in combination with other therapies," Arteaga, director of Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, and co-chair of SABCS, told Medscape Medical News.
Coral Omene, MD, PhD, a medical oncologist at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and assistant professor of medicine at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey, also commented on the importance of the EMERALD results.
"I would think that this is practice changing," said Omene, who was also not involved in the research. The new oral SERD "demonstrates a significant advantage in progression-free survival over either fulvestrant or an aromatase Inhibitor."
An oral drug could also potentially save patients from painful injections that can occasionally result in injection site abscesses from long-term administration, she explained. "It's also more convenient to take oral pills at home. It saves on transportation and omits waiting in treatment rooms for administrations."
Although the overall survival data are not yet mature and the rate of adverse events was higher with elacestrant, "progression-free survival is a surrogate endpoint widely used for overall survival and is reasonable to consider a treatment regimen based on this while awaiting mature survival data," Omene added. "The increase in nausea and vomiting seen in oral SERD arm is likely manageable, as there were no significant differences in discontinuation in both arms of treatment."
The study was supported by Radius Health. Bardia has served as a consultant or on an advisory board for Radius Health, Pfizer, Novartis, Genentech, Merck, Immunomedics/GileadSciences, Sanofi, Daiichi Sankyo/Astra Zeneca, Phillips, Eli Lillyand Company, and Foundation Medicine. He has conducted contracted research or received grants from Genentech, Novartis, Pfizer, Merck, Sanofi, Radius Health, Immunomedics/Gilead, Daiichi Sankyo/Astra Zeneca, Natera Inc, and Eli Lilly and Company.

COVID-19: Right decisions now will secure a life of dignity for all
Heads of UN agencies, along with scientists and other stakeholders, are holding interactive dialogues focused on the health and humanitarian response, the road to vaccines, and addressing the socio-economic impacts of the crisis.
Since the onset of the #COVID19 pandemic, the @UN System has pulled together in support of the most vulnerable. Very encouraged by the engaging conversation from heads of @UN entities and partners. We need clear results to support those in need. #UNGASS. pic.twitter.com/y9HZ2ly7pv
— UN GA President (@UN_PGA) December 4, 2020
A critical moment
Ms. Mohammed outlined UN support to countries going forward, including mobilizing the $28 billion needed to secure vaccines for all, regardless of wealth or location, and assisting authorities everywhere to operationalize inclusive recovery plans.
"This session comes at a critical moment. If we make the right decisions now, we can meet the humanitarian needs, reset the development pathways, accelerate implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, and secure a life of dignity and opportunity for all on a safe and a healthy planet", she said.
Different countries, different impacts
The General Assembly is often described as "the global town hall", bringing together all 193 UN Member States. "We cannot neglect our duties to the people we serve at this time of crisis, when it is even more important," Assembly President Volkan Bozkir said in his opening address.
COVID-19 has affected the entire planet and, by extension, every area of the UN's work. Although the pandemic is a global health crisis, impacts have varied across countries, as has response.
While many countries have been able to prevent or contain the virus through proven public health measures, "this is not a fluke of geography or demography", according to the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), who delivered a speech from its Headquarters in Geneva.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said these nations have proved the efficacy of "science, solidarity and sacrifice", paraphrasing a motto he has used throughout the pandemic.
"But where science is drowned out by conspiracy theories, where solidarity is undermined by division, where sacrifice is substituted with self-interest, the virus thrives. The virus spreads", he stated.
Situation still dangerous
Globally, more than 64 million cases of COVID-19 have been recorded, with nearly 1.5 million deaths. Even with vaccines on the horizon, "we are still in a very, very dangerous and difficult situation", said WHO's Director of Emergencies, Dr. Michael Ryan, speaking from Geneva during the first dialogue.
He explained that some countries, particularly in the Americas and Europe, are still experiencing major virus transmission. Although the situation in other regions may be stable, some of their countries still battle continued or returning transmission.
"We will be able to add vaccines to the current control measures. But let me clear: vaccines, or vaccination, does not equal zero COVID", he stressed. "We must add vaccines to the existing parcel of measures that we have in place."
Averting hunger and catastrophe
As the UN Secretary-General has remarked, the pandemic has been the greatest challenge to the global community since the Organization was founded 75 years ago. But it has also sparked international action that includes recovery plans and economic stimulus packages, according to David Beasley, Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP).
However, he warned that next year "is literally going to be catastrophic", as humanitarian needs double, with famine "already knocking on the door" of some 12 nations. As war drives hunger, fighting also must cease, he added.
"We can avert destabilization and famine and migration. But we've got to be out there sooner rather than later" said Mr. Beasley, urging countries to step up.
"If we're strategic, and put the funds to these particular icebergs before us, I believe that we can get through 2021, while we work with the vaccines and rebuild the economies so that we can have a better world and achieve Zero-Hunger by 2030."
SDGs still relevant
The Zero-Hunger target is among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which all 193 UN Member States adopted five years ago. The SDGs provide a blueprint for ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring all people live in peace and prosperity.
The goals remain "absolutely relevant" because "they are our compass for getting out of this crisis", said Achim Steiner, Administrator at the UN Development Programme (UNDP).

Among the lessons UNDP learned from the pandemic has been the importance of having good data, critical for targeting people in need, particularly in times of crisis, while issues related to human rights and gender are now part of recovery plans.
'A generational moment'
Mr. Steiner underlined the importance of the UN's work in responding to the socio-economic fallout from the pandemic, which has disproportionately affected women and the poor.
He warned that more than one billion people could be living in extreme poverty by the end of the decade "if we do not manage to make the right choices now", according to a UNDP-backed study issued this week.
"But actually, the opposite is equally possible," he countered. "This is the moment. It is a generational moment in which we need to think about the future of development in very different ways."


[. . .] These four sessions are important since they will address various issues relating to developing coping skills for handling major depressive disorder.
The goal of the first session will be to help the student identify how his/her condition is affecting his/her ability to handle academics and relationships. The second session will focus on helping the student develop self-advocacy skills while the goal of the third one is to create strategies for managing the impact of the condition's symptoms in the school setting. The fourth session will be centered on teaching the student how to seek adult help/support when experiencing difficulties in coping with the condition. These goals and objectives are suitable because it will help the student develop suitable coping and management skills for dealing with symptoms and impact of the condition.
The counseling approach that will be used in this intervention plan is psychotherapy, which has proven to be a suitable measure for managing the condition. Psychotherapy will be used because it helps in identifying the core causes of the individual's condition and how to deal with its symptoms through developing coping skills. The counseling intervention that will be used based on this counseling approach is individual therapy, which entails working one-on-one with the student. This intervention will be used because it enables the counselor to give full-attention to the student towards developing of coping strategies.
Apart from individual counseling, group counseling will also be utilized for a middle school student with major depressive disorder. When working with a student with this condition, group counseling process will consist of three sessions that are carried out once a week. The goal of the first session is to help the student develop interpersonal behavior skills since this condition is characterized by difficulties in relationships. The second session will be centered on how to create support groups that help the student cope with the condition. This is an important objective because multiple support groups are crucial towards helping the student cope with major depressive depression and learn how to interact. The third session will focus on helping the student identify positive behavioral patterns through developing new activities that contribute to behavior change. Behavior modification is important in group counseling because it enables an individual to identify and avoid behavioral patterns that increase the impact of the condition.
Group counseling will be based on interpersonal counseling approach, which focuses on the impact of social interaction on depression. The use of this approach in group counseling is suitable since it examines how the individual responds to social situations and interpersonal behaviors that contribute to development of a depressive mood or depression symptoms (Ng, 2014). The counseling interventions to be utilized include group therapy and psychodynamic counseling since they help in identifying interpersonal deficits and resolving any conflicts.
In conclusion, major depressive disorder is one of the most common psychiatric conditions that have severe impacts on individuals. This condition affects people across all ages, genders, nationalities, and ethnicities/race. Women are more affected by this condition unlike men because of their vulnerabilities to stressors that contribute to depression. For middle school students with this condition, individual and group counseling help in developing coping tactics.
