The New Broadband Access Boom
October 28, 2019 in Engineering, News, Telecoms
Mobile broadband in the form of 4G and now 5G may have been grabbing the headlines for the past few years, but in the background the fixed line broadband market has been growing steadily, driven by both regulatory imperatives and operator expansion ambitions on the supply side, and the increasing use of bandwidth-hungry applications on the demand side.
Introduction: The Many Flavours of Broadband
Although demand for ever higher-capacity broadband connections are often associated with entertainment services, for example high-definition video streaming or connected gaming, much of the demand for fixed line broadband connectivity is linked to the pervasiveness of digital lifestyles, as growing numbers of people require reliable Internet connectivity to support an ever broader range of applications — remote working, financial services, medical care services, e-commerce and more – and an increasing number of devices.
Broadband access is an encompassing concept. Competing technologies have flourished during the past two decades. Some ride on the legacy copper PSTN networks – the various iterations of DSL technology and, most recently, Gfast – while others deliver fast Internet connections via cable networks, especially in North America. Satellite connections have also played a (limited) role.
In recent years, fibre connections running all the way to homes or buildings – collectively, fibre-to-thepremises
(FTTP) — has evolved from a niche, high-end solution to becoming a mass market proposition, though this varies wildly from country to country. This medium promises the fastest broadband access speeds to support the most demanding of applications and, as will be evident at the Broadband World Forum in Amsterdam (October 15-17), it is
still witnessing ongoing technological innovation as various flavours of passive optical networking (PON) technologies, such as XGS-PON and NG-PON2, come to market.
Meanwhile, thanks to the ascendency of 4G cellular technologies — primarily LTE, but also WiMax – and the arrival of 5G, fixed-wireless access (FWA) is also gaining increasing, albeit still limited, traction. This option is usually associated with rural and/or underserved areas but is now becoming a viable option in urban areas where the deployment of fibre is challenging or deemed uneconomic.
In addition to the differences between technologies, what qualifies as 'broadband' has also been evolving. In 2010, when Finland became the first country to set out the national policy to define access to broadband Internet as a basic right, the threshold was set at 1 Mbps downlink.
The FCC has been using 25 Mbps/3 Mbps (downlink/uplink) as the benchmark to evaluate how well fixed broadband has been deployed. By way of contrast, the US regulator has adopted 5 Mbps/1 Mbps as the benchmark for mobile (LTE) data service coverage.
At the beginning of September 2019, the Norwegian government started the consultation process to make broadband access a statuary obligation by the operators, becoming the latest country to elevate or aim to elevate broadband access to the status of a legal right. Here the government proposed two sets of metrics on which to gather comments: 20 Mbps/2Mbps and 10 Mbps/2 Mbps.
In its policy paper, titled 'Connectivity for a Competitive Digital Single Market – Towards a European Gigabit Society', published in 2016, the European Union's vision included Internet access downlink speeds for all European households of at least 100 Mbps.
Sweden is the most aggressive country when setting its broadband targets. The country's 'Broadband Strategy', published in 2016, defined a 'completely connected Sweden by 2025' in three tiers: 98% of all households and businesses should have access to a downlink speed of at least 1 Gbps; 1.9% should have access to 100 Mbps; and the remaining 0.1% should have access to at least 30 Mbps.
For any deployment of broadband connectivity to succeed, a number of factors need to be in place: There must be market demand that can be met by broadband connectivity; the technologies being used should be tried, tested and future-proof; the broadband service providers must be able to achieve a positive return on investment; and there should be a favourable regulatory environment.
Given the current market conditions impacting the suitability of the different technologies (see the next section), projected potential service uptake, and the drivers on the supply and demand sides, this report will focus on developments related to two key technologies: FTTP and 5G-based FWA.

NJ Police FB post misgendering and dead naming endangers trans woman's life
Added by Kelli Busey on October 14, 2015.
Tags: NJ Police Transphobia
Transgender woman Cyndi Kirke outing, misgendering and dead naming by the New Jersey Police on Facebook has resulted in her car being vandalized with transphobic slurs and endangered her life. The language used by the NJ state police in the first facebook post and the second after Kirke turned herself in was quickly picked up by mimicked by NJ.com and other media outlets who have called her "a man who has a penchant for cross-dressing".
The police haven't moderated comments, in fact, appear to encourage the public to respond this way.
The New Jersey Police are encouraging hate crimes against transgender people by posting her picture in this way and BY ALLOWING the hateful comments to remain on the posting.
The NJ State Police media and communications office wasn't answering their phones at press time.
The New Jersey State Police have marginalized and endangered every trans person nationwide. An example of the highly transphobic reporting can be found at NJ.Com, normally a respectful media outlet.
Source NJ.com" A man who was wanted on a theft charge told authorities he felt the "pressure" to turn himself in after his photo, alleged crime, his tendency to dress as a woman and use a female alias were released on the State Police's Facebook page.
Michael Mathews, 46, of Sparta, turned himself in at the State Police station in Sussex on Friday, according to the State Police.
Mathews, who is known to dress as a woman and use the alias Cyndi Kirk, was wanted for allegedly selling a fraudulent vehicle warranty worth more than $4,500 to a Sussex Borough man in January 2013.
According to a Garden State Equality press release Cyndi Kirke is her legal name.
Garden State Equality press release:
Garden State Equality was outraged by the recent conduct of the New Jersey State Police, New Jersey Herald and NJ.com which has resulted in a bias crime being committed against a transgender woman. Cyndi Kirke recently found her vehicle defaced with death threats and homophobic slurs after State Police and local media outed her as transgender.
At a time when transgender women are facing what has been called an epidemic of violence, the New Jersey State Police, The New Jersey Herald, and Nj.com outed Kirke as transgender, and reinforced negative stereotypes about transgender people.
"Transgender people, face shockingly high levels of violence and discrimination," said Aaron Potenza, an activist and the Director of Programs and Policy at Garden State Equality. "Tragically, many transgender people have been revictimized by law enforcement, and nearly half of transgender people say they are uncomfortable turning to police for help. The media has come under fire for focusing disproportionately on criminal cases, and misgendering transgender people by referring to them by the wrong pronouns and names. Unfortunately, Kirke's case follows this all too frequent pattern."
On October 2nd, the New Jersey State Police authored a Facebook post titled "Man Wanted for Theft by Deception." The post, which was accompanied by a photo of Kirke, was supposedly meant to aid police in locating her, and asked readers to "please share." The Facebook post referred to Kirke by her former name and male pronouns exclusively, while her legal name, Cyndi Kirke, was called an alias. The police outed Kirke as transgender, noting, "he is also known to dress as a female and use the alias Cyndi Kirk [sic.]." Three days later the State Police reposted the same statement and photograph, this time with the caption "Man Wanted for Theft and Deception Surrenders After Pressure from Social Media." While the original post has been removed, the second post remains on Facebook, where well over half of the comments are transphobic remarks about Kirke's gender identity and expression.
The New Jersey Herald and Nj.com published online articles that echoed the transphobia of the State Police Facebook posts. Both news outlets identified Kirke as a man, referred to her exclusively with male pronouns, and as a man "dressing as a female", and printed an accompanying photograph. NJ.com titled their essay "Cross-dressing Man Says Social Media Forced His Surrender."
"It is outrageous," said Potenza, "that in this state the police and media would behave in this fashion. Based on information provided to Garden State Equality, a simple investigation would have revealed that Ms. Kirke is transgender and, legally changed her name along with other appropriate legal steps as part of her transition. Unfortunately, the manner in which this situation was handled, and the resulting hate filled venom proves there is still a great deal of bias and prejudice against transgender individuals in New Jersey. There is still a lot more work to be done."
Garden State Equality calls on the New Jersey State Police to take the bias crime against Ms. Kirke seriously, and to conduct a full investigation. We further call on the New Jersey Herald and NJ.com to print retractions of their articles. We are also reaching out to the New Jersey State Police, New Jersey Herald, and NJ.com to demand that they should take steps to become educated on gender identity issues and curtail this type of discriminatory behavior.

It still feels hollow, very bittersweet – Faf du Plessis on Sri Lanka drubbing
Ken Borland in Chester-le-Street
Faf du Plessis of the Proteas during the South African national men's cricket team squad departure press conference at Powerade Centre of Excellence on May 18, 2019 in Pretoria, South Africa. Picture: Lee Warren / Gallo Images
The captain praised his bowlers for closing down the Sri Lankan innings, which went from 67 for one in the 10th over to 203 all out 40 overs later.
When a team has already crashed out of World Cup contention, any win thereafter is usually celebrated rather economically and Proteas captain Faf du Plessis admitted that their triumph over Sri Lanka at the Riverside Stadium on Friday was "hollow".
South Africa hammered Sri Lanka by nine wickets with 76 balls to spare in a clinical display of bowling and batting, but it left a bittersweet feeling as their fans were left wondering where all that verve had been in the first five weeks of the tournament.
"It was great to win, but it still feels hollow, very bittersweet. We know we have let a lot of people down and that was never the plan. We will enjoy the performance but there's still a hollow feeling and you're left wondering about what could have been. It's been a crazy World Cup with any team able to beat anyone, the margins have been so small.
"We just put it all together today, we bowled really well to restrict Sri Lanka and then chased down the target clinically. We showed a massive intention today to fight as hard as we can, but the better teams are in those top four positions for a reason – they've been very consistent and they deserve to be there. We have to acknowledge that we have put ourselves in that position of no longer being able to qualify," Du Plessis said after South Africa's second win of the campaign.
Du Plessis' 103-ball innings of 96 not out saw him play with freedom and his attacking shots were hit with tremendous timing as he collected 10 fours and a six. He and Hashim Amla, who played his most fluent innings of the tournament in scoring 80 not out off 105 deliveries, added 175 off 202 balls for the second wicket. It is South Africa's second-best second-wicket partnership ever in the World Cup after the same pair put on 247 against Ireland in Canberra in 2015.
The skipper said he had felt close to putting in such a dominant performance with the bat right through the tournament.
"Personally, I've felt that I've been batting really well, I've been feeling good at the crease but just not converting. In a finely-balanced run-chase, there are times of risk that are necessary, but today we were able to dictate with the bat and just concentrate on the basics of getting a partnership going, there hasn't been enough of that and in a World Cup you depend on your senior players doing well.
"Hash has also had one or two starts and just hasn't been consistent enough in giving us good starts. But he did brilliantly today and if there had been one or two more scores like that from me and Quinton de Kock too, then we would have sat in a different position. If your top three does well then the team will do well, and the other guys in the batting line-up are still young in their careers," Du Plessis said.
"Chasing 200 is obviously easier, it is a completely different game, you can bat at your own tempo. Dwaine Pretorius [10-2-25-3] bowled really well today and the bowlers, in general after the first six overs, did a really good job and put their skills together. Our plan was the slower the bowler the harder it is to face," Du Plessis said.

'Pied Beauty' belongs to the middle period of the poetic career of Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-89), that period when he had found his distinctive poetic voice but before he became plagued by depression later in his short life. The poem reflects this: 'Pied Beauty' is written by a poet who is confident in his style, and in his religious faith. Here are some thoughts on the poem, which might be considered some notes towards an analysis of it.
In summary, Hopkins's poem is a celebration of 'pied' things and the beauty of pied things: that is, things that are made up of two different colours, often containing black and white or dark colours with light colours. These 'dappled things' exist thanks to God, says Hopkins: they all reflect his creation. Whether it's the 'stipple' (or freckled markings) on trout swimming in the water, or the wings of finches, or the contrast of colours (such as the black-and-white of clouds) in the sky, these depictions of 'couple-colour' in the world of nature are to be celebrated.
wings of the (flying) finch, the changing appearance of the skies – are things in flux, which are not the same, or in the same place, from one hour to the next. Even the land of 'fold, fallow, and plough' is tilled, crops are planted, seeds are sown, things are cultivated: the world of 'Pied Beauty' is a world that is forever changing. In another of his poems, Gerard Manley Hopkins describes nature as a 'Heraclitean Fire', and Heraclitus, among other things, argued that everything exists in a state of flux: you cannot step into the same river twice, since the current of the river is always moving and changing. This notion of change is made explicit in the poem's penultimate line: God's beauty is the only beauty that is 'past [i.e. beyond] change', but everything else is destined to alter. 'Pied Beauty' is, in the last analysis, a poem about difference, and a celebration of difference – and not just between things but within the same thing. The sky like a piebald cow brings together black and white in glorious contrast. The river that trout swims in today is not the same river it swam in last week.
Hopkins conveys this sense of flux through utilising some of his trademark techniques, which are here imbued with an additional significance in light of the poem's theme: so his fondness for compound words neatly captures this idea of two different things being joined in one: 'couple-colour', 'rose-moles', 'chestnut-falls', and 'Fresh-firecoal' (which is actually a triple compound, since 'firecoal' is itself a compounding). The two words are different and yet brought together through hyphenation (the word 'hyphen', by the way, literally means 'under one', because two or more things are brought together as one unit). Elsewhere, words rub up against each other, similar yet different: the sounds of words appear to change, to be in constant flux. So 'tackle' turns to 'fickle' which quickly changes into 'freckled'; even the rhyme of 'strange' with 'change' points up the fact that things are rendered unfamiliar to us because they alter. So, although Hopkins's poem is, on the surface, simply a song of praise to 'dappled things', it is also about the fast-paced movement of those things and the way that beauty is caught in a moment here, a sudden glance there.

I am dreadful with poetry and this has made this piece all the more beautiful for me, for which I thank you.
I love this poem, which also seems to me to embrace and celebrate complexity, that life is not this thing OR that thing, but is this thing AND that thing. It's a kind of antidote to the binary world we increasingly seem to think we must categorise – is this person good OR bad corrupt OR pure, right OR wrong. Manley embraces the difficult, the shadow and the light. It feels curiously Eastern to me, rather than a concept of either/or, it is the more difficult one of – everything, accommodation. And, moreover, as you point out, even the this and that of dapple is in flux!
Great write-up, really enjoyed it. You brought out the freckle and the deckle.
A superb analysis of one of my all-time favourite poems. Thank you!
Thanks for talking about my favorite poem!

Background Age-related differences of clinicopathologic features, outcomes, and molecular properties of hepatocellular carcinoma remain unclarified. Methods We classified patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma into 3 groups by age bracket; younger group (<50 years), middle-aged group (50 to 79 years), and elderly group (≥80 years) and compared age-related features. Results Hepatitis viral infection was dominant in the younger group (hepatitis B virus [HBV]; 67%) and middle-aged group (hepatitis C virus [HCV]; 56%), whereas the elderly group showed a significantly higher rate without hepatitis virus infection (absence of HBV and HCV infection, 66%; P =.0001). There was a significantly greater proportion of age-associated pre-existing comorbidity in the elderly group (89%; P =.0004). Liver cirrhosis in the elderly group (24%) was significantly lower than other groups (younger, 67%; middle-aged, 50%; P =.0058). There was no significant difference in perioperative and postoperative outcomes among these groups. Microarray analysis revealed age-related upregulation of androgen and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways in the tumor tissue and downregulation of the fibrosis-related pathways in the noncancerous liver tissue. Conclusions Based on increased correlation with the absence of HBV and HCV infection and pre-existing comorbidity, the age-related carcinogenic pathways might play a critical role in elderly hepatocarcinogenesis.

I wholeheartedly agree - everything is better with cake. And what better way to celebrate our 2 year blogiversary (say what?!) than with a gorgeous, moist, moreish, tangy cake - flourless orange and hazelnut cake to be exact.
It's got no flour, is sweetened naturally with fruit and honey, and has a total of 5 ingredients - so it's the perfect example of an easy, healthy, delicious cake. My favourite kind.
This cake is based on a recipe that we used to make when I ran a cafe, I've made it so many times over the years I have no idea where I first saw it. It was always a huge hit with the customers, who lovingly called it "the health cake" despite my repeated attempts to explain to them that "flourless" doesn't actually equate to "healthy". Especially as the cake we made for the cafe used lots of white sugar and was covered in an orange syrup after baking!
Regardless, that cake was one of our best sellers and I think this redo will become a favourite too.
As this cake is flourless, the beating stage is very important. The more air you incorporate into the egg and honey mixture to begin with, the lighter your cake will be. You want the mixture to be very pale and creamy, as shown in the picture above. The paler the mixture, the more air you've incorporated and the better your cake will be. Just remember - you can overbeat the mix so try to aim for as close to the colour and consistency in the picture as possible.
As far as icing goes, we used to do an orange syrup at the cafe but it used A LOT of sugar. I made this cake with my mum in mind; and as jaffa (chocolate and orange) is one of her favourite flavours it seemed a no-brainer to use a chocolate frosting. For this recipe I used my homemade nutella recipe to keep with the hazelnut theme, but a straight dark coconut ganache (like the one used in this recipe for almond butter coconut cookies) would also be beautiful.
And on a personal note, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to every single one of you that reads, likes, follows, comments on and supports The Fit Kitchen blog, and JL Fit Nutrition in general. My purpose for starting this blog has always been a desire to share recipes that showcase healthy food and highlight that eating well doesn't need to be boring and bland, and to direct people away form fad diets and towards embracing wholefoods.

1) Place oranges in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, then let the water boil for 10 minutes.
2) Drain the water off, then repeat step 1 a further two times (for a total of three 10-minute blocks). Drain the water and allow oranges to cool.
3) Once oranges have cooled to room temperature, place them in a food processor and blend until smooth (or mostly smooth).
4) Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Place eggs, honey and vanilla in a bowl and whisk until the mixture is thick and pale, approximately 5 minutes.
5) Add hazelnut meal, baking powder, salt and pureed oranges to the egg mixture and very gently fold through.
6) Slowly pour the batter into a 25cm bundt tin (or 25 cm round springform cake tin). Place in the middle of the oven and cook for 60 - 70 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
7) Allow the cake to cool completely before removing from the tin, then frost with icing of your choice.

Start small Although it is rare, jumping right into vigorous exercise after being sedentary for a long time can increase your risk of having a heart attack; therefore, it is best to go slow and start with something less intense, such as walking, swimming, or biking. Starting slow will also help to reduce your chances of getting injured, which can put a hold on your fitness efforts. After a while, you can increase your activity intensity and duration, such as from walking to jogging, or biking on a flat surface to biking on a somewhat hilly surface, or swimming for 45 minutes instead of 30 minutes. Starting with small, more easily-achieved goals helps people stick with their plans. Drastic changes are harder to stick with — find something that you enjoy and seems doable.
Fight your way forward with running plays Generally the most common type of play seen in football is the running play. Running plays tend to yield less yardage per play than passing plays but are much less likely to accidentally transfer control of the ball to the other team. They have the added advantage of getting the football out of the quarterback's hands quickly before an aggressive defense can reach his position and cost the team extra yards. If the ball is dropped during a running play, it is called a fumble. A fumbled ball can be picked up by either the other team, or the team that fumbled it to gain or regain control of it. The quarterback normally hands the ball off to a teammate (typically a running back) to execute a running play, but he can also choose to run the ball himself. Being able to think quickly and assess the situation as it changes is a vital skill for a quarterback to help him decide when to run the ball on his own. Running plays have the benefit of being difficult to see in detail from behind the defensive line. Very often, the offense will try to trick the defense by seeming to hand the ball off to two or even three different runners. When the ruse works, the one runner who actually has the ball can sometimes break past the defense before they know what has happened and run all the way down the field for an easy touchdown.
Secure a job before making your move Unemployment rates tend to be high in Alaska, so make sure you have a job before you move. If you don't have a job, make sure you have enough money saved for a ticket home in case your job search turns up short. Big cities have a lot more jobs than smaller towns, and many people choose to commute so they don't have to pay city living prices. Some seasonal work might be available at hotels or parks, but you should try to find a permanent position as soon as possible.
Consider adopting a furry friend to be your companion Most cities and towns in Alaska are extremely dog-friendly. There are plenty of places for a dog to run, jump, and play. Visit a local animal shelter when you're settled in Alaska to pick out an animal friend who's right for you and your schedule. If you're not interested in getting a dog, cats also make great companions, and there are many cats in need of a home at shelters throughout Alaska!

Since season 1, Jessica Jones has struggled to mix horror with superheroes
The genres blend well, but after a ferocious kickoff season, the series stopped combining them effectively
By Noah Berlatsky
Jun 18, 2019, 6:33 PM UTC |
Significant spoilers ahead for season 1 of Jessica Jones.
The horror and superhero genres approach the world from opposite directions. Horror is meant to make the audience feel disempowered and terrorized. Superhero stories, by contrast, make viewers feel empowered and triumphant. Both genres often set out to give the audience the same thing — a big, satisfying burst of catharsis — but in different ways, and for different reasons.
But at the same time, the genres draw liberally from each other. To heighten the empowerment sensation, the superhero genre often uses horror elements. In the recent film Shazam!, the hero is menaced by oozing, hulking nightmare monsters, and his victory is sweeter because he's initially terrified by what he has to overcome. Horror, on the other end, often includes a final victorious, empowering reversal. An aging Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) in 2018's Halloween remake survives a seemingly fatal fall and comes back to brutalize the villain, Michael Myers. She might as well be the Punisher, taking a brutal beating and coming back for more. Empowerment and disempowerment in these stories aren't opposites: they're complements. The superhero and horror genres fit into each other, creating a single monstrous or heroic amalgam.
Netflix's Jessica Jones television series has been particularly fascinated with the line between superheroes and horror. The series' title character (played by Krysten Ritter) is nominally a superhero. She has super strength and can make super-leaps. But she isn't that strong; she can bust locks, not tear apart buildings. It's difficult for villains to convincingly threaten Superman — that requires heavy special effects intervention, or obvious plot fixes like Kryptonite. But threatening Jessica is easy: she isn't much harder to damage than a regular person. In the show's most recent season, she's wounded and has to have her spleen surgically removed, which has to be a first in a superhero story. Jessica is an empowered person always teetering on the edge of disempowerment.
Jessica Jones' initial season brilliantly exploited the tension between horror tropes and superhero stories by pitting her against a terrifyingly powerful antagonist. Kilgrave (David Tennant) can control minds — whatever he says, people do. Jessica was under his influence for years, but eventually developed an immunity to his power. But everyone around her is susceptible. Kilgrave can manipulate Jessica's friends and lovers, her neighbors, the police, even random bystanders in the streets.
Jessica Jones' first season is essentially an extended slasher movie. The virtually omnipotent Kilgrave stalks Jessica through 13 episodes, orchestrating elaborate nightmare scenarios and murdering whenever the whim strikes him. Around Jessica, daughters smile while they kill their parents, and boyfriends set themselves on fire. The show is even more viscerally disturbing than most horror films because the sense of disempowerment is so absolute. As in horror films like The Last House on the Left and I Spit on Your Grave, that sense of futility is explicitly linked to sexual violence. Kilgrave has raped Jessica before, and the threat that he will do so again hangs over the series. Like an abusive spouse or parent, Kilgrave controls the entire world. There's no way out.
And that makes Jessica's triumph all the more satisfying and empowering. Like Ripley in Alien, or Laurie in Halloween, or many other Final Girls before her, Jessica snatches victory from defeat, facing the undefeatable and becoming undefeatable herself. Her final confrontation with Kilgrave is a perfect encapsulation of the empowerment / disempowerment dynamic which links horror and superhero narratives. She seems to be completely defeated, losing her self and soul. The threat of further sexualized violence is obvious. And then she suddenly has the power, and her enemy doesn't. The series has repeatedly questioned whether it's all right for heroes to kill villains, but there's no question that Jessica has to kill Kilgrave. She's a superhero, but he's put her in a slasher story.
After Jessica Jones' brilliant first season — easily the best single season of any of Netflix's Marvel shows — showrunner Melissa Rosenberg has struggled with ways of balancing its horror and superhero leanings. The second season used a Frankenstein-type story, with Jessica's mother Alisa (Janet McTeer) gaining super strength much greater than Jessica's after undergoing medical experiments. Those same experiments leave Alisa unable to control her anger. The story unfolds as a kind of tragic horror melodrama (again, Frankenstein-like), with Jessica powerless to prevent her mother from destroying herself and others.
Season 3 has shifted back toward the slasher storyline of the series' beginning. The main villain is a Hannibal Lecter-like super-smart serial killer named Salinger (Jeremy Bobb). He doesn't vastly outmatch Jessica as Kilgrave did, so the horror aspects don't come through as clearly. Rather than running for her life, Jessica spends most of her time trying to figure out how to get evidence for the police. Justice by the book is sometimes a concern of superhero shows, but it's not something slashers generally worry about much.
Still, as Samantha Nelson points out in her Verge review of season 3, the genre confusion does raise interesting questions about heroism, and less explicitly, about horror. Salinger constantly sneers at Jessica for "cheating" by getting her superpowers through luck, rather than earning them. But Salinger didn't work for his brains either. Empowerment isn't really about fairness in superhero or horror narratives. It's a rush, not a deserved achievement.
And to heighten that rush, to bring home the sense of power, someone else needs to be disempowered. Both horror and superhero stories require unfairness and imbalance. In superhero stories and horror stories alike, there are strong people and weak people. The main difference between the genres is which group viewers are supposed to identify with. Salinger's resentment of Jessica in season 3 echoes the reactionary bitterness of white male entitlement: he's angry because he's used to feeling powerful, and he finds it unfair that someone else — a woman he'd otherwise feel superior to — has more power than him, without "earning" it in a way he approves of. But he's also angry because he's a horror villain who's stumbled into a superhero story. He sees himself as in control, until the darn superheroes get in the way.
Jessica Jones, for her part, often feels like a superhero who's wandered into a horror narrative. She tries to fight for truth and justice, but like most people's powers, hers are limited. She's cynical, bad-tempered, and often drunk because she's trying to be a hero in a world that has its teeth more than half-sunk into a different genre. It's appropriate that the show has been the last Marvel Netflix series to be canceled. Jessica is a superhero familiar enough with horror to know that sometimes empowerment is just being the final girl standing.

Stomach ulcers usually develop in the stomach lining, but they can also appear on the intestine close to the stomach; doctors call this latter type of ulcer a duodenal ulcer. While the positions of these ulcers within the body differ, the treatments are similar. Stomach ulcers are not always painful so a patient might be unaware of their presence from the pain. Sometimes they have other symptoms, for example, the patient feels sick, or they have bad indigestion or heartburn. Bacterial infections and long-term use of non-steroid drugs are the main causes of stomach ulcers. If you suspect you might have a stomach ulcer you need to consult a doctor.
If the doctor sees that the stomach ulcer developed because of a reaction to the long-term use of painkiller medications, he or she needs to review the patient's need for this drug. It is sometimes possible to find a remedy that brings the same benefits without damaging the stomach. The doctor often recommends taking a proton pump inhibitor, and sometimes they prefer to prescribe one of the H2-receptor antagonist drugs. Also, antacids could help to heal the ulcer. A gastroscopy enables the doctor to check the success of the cure.


The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, and a man is valued by what others say of him.
This is an unfortunate fact of life, that our value is measured by what others say or think about us. Jesus said, "Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets."(1) What matters more than man's opinion is God's.
Look at the people of scripture who were rejected by man, but accepted by God. Consider Moses, Lot, David and Jeremiah. These men were rejected by their own, hunted as enemies and imprisoned for their prophecies.
Flattery, praise and compliments are the furnaces and refining pots of our character. If we endure them in humility we will test as pure gold and refined silver. In a clear vernacular, don't let it go to your head. Those that easily laud you one day will just as easily curse you the next. The only praiseworthiness we have is Christ in us the hope of glory.

MMDA: A portion of North Avenue will be closed off until June 2022
To make way for the ongoing MRT-7 construction
by Leandre Grecia | Oct 8, 2021
PHOTO: Google Maps
The ongoing construction of the MRT-7 project will continue to affect traffic along North Avenue over the next few months. To those who often pass through this area of Quezon City, take note.
According to the latest advisory from the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), a portion of the eastbound side of North Avenue headed towards Elliptical Road will be closed to traffic from October 15, 2021 to June 1, 2022.
Vehicles entering Wildlife and Veterans Memorial Medical Center will still be able to pass through North Avenue, while those headed to Elliptical Road are advised to take Quezon Avenue via Agham Road instead.
The MMDA says this closure is expected to have less of an impact on traffic as this portion has been previously closed off to the public already. You can check out the official Facebook post below:

The Project Management Manifesto is a call for the US government to properly oversee and manage projects that will be financed with taxpayer money. The originators of the Manifesto recognise that lawmakers and government officials in the USA have good intentions and are working hard to address the recession. But it is the project management profession that understands how to plan, manage and govern programs and projects. There are best practices available that should be used and promoted. It is very important that the stimulus funds are used as effectively as possible, and not wasted.
I believe this initiative should be extended to Australia and every other nation who's government is planning to spend our children's taxes to minimise the impact of the world-wide recession. The challenge is for project management leaders world wide to latch onto this initiative, couple it to effective practices and standards such as PRINCE2, PMBOK® Guide, OPM3, P3M3 and others and make a difference.
Project managers, project management professionals, company executives and government leaders are encouraged to visit the PM Manifesto website at http://pmmanifesto.ning.com to read the declaration and proposed policy measures, and then decide how to best make use of them 'at home'.
For more on the launch see the PM Forum web site at seen at http://www.pmforum.org/blogs/news/2009/01/ProjectManagementManifestoPublishedinUS.html.
PMI's new PM Teach is aimed at encouraging Universities and Colleges to teach accredited project management courses. The PM Teach program makes a range of resources available to academic staff interested in developing a PM course and then having the course accredited by PMI.
A key component of the PM Teach program is linking academic institutions with R.E.P.s that have the skills and knowledge to assist in curriculum development. Mosaic has joined this part of the program based on the work of Dr. Lynda Bourne at a range of institutions including RMIT University Melbourne and The University of Sothern Queensland, both in Australia; and more recently the University of Maryland (UMUC).
To develop a useful scenario for a short 1 or 2 day workshop you need a few 'larger than life' characters – good guys bad guys and some in between. If these were based off a real life situation we could be sued. Most of the characters in the case study are an amalgamation of some people we have met….. but they are designed to highlight characterisations rather than individuals.
The scenario needs to be very simple to run through all of the issues involved in managing and communicating with stakeholders. 'Real' scenarios are usually far too complex for a workshop (unless you are working inside an organisation and everyone already understands the business).
By developing a totally fictitious business in an exotic location, the 'Paradise Isld. Utilities Corporation' (PUC) everyone in the class is free to imaging 'what might be'. If the scenario was too real some people would 'know the answer' based on direct experience and others would be left out.
When you are dealing with stakeholders, you can never know exactly what their version of reality is! You have to base your decisions on what you think their perceptions of the project are. Your stakeholder management and communication plans are based on your team's perceptions of the stakeholder's perceptions. The advantage of a neutral scenario is this 'fog' is the same for everyone but the teams in the class can decide exactly what the right outcome should be. We have seen some amazingly different scenarios created in the minds of teams from the same information and the great thing is they are all 100% correct. The learning comes from dealing with the scenario as imagined and crafting effective communication strategies to manage the stakeholders.
So in short, the reason we use a fictitious scenario is we feel it helps us deliver much better training outcomes for public classes and internal workshops already have a built-in scenario in the organisation.
I cannot think of anyone in the last 30 years who has carried a greater weight of expectation into a new job than Barak Obama. Not only the diverse expectations of over150 million Americans, but also the hopes and expectations of billions of people around the world.
Expectations include; solving the economic crisis, balancing the American budget, promoting racial harmony and equality, solving the Palestinian crisis, the Iran crisis, the Iraq crisis and possibly even the Afghan crises… sorting out the American car industry, delivering health care to the underinsured and solving unemployment and poverty to name a few.
With all the resources of the USA and the White House it's a massive challenge and we whish President Obama every success in his endeavours.
My concern is the backswing when unrealistic expectations are not fulfilled. How President Obama manages this is likely to be educational and if the last 24 hours are anything to go by highly innovative. I could not think of a more effective way to mark the difference between the old Presidency and the new than seeing the President Elect helping out at a charity on the holiday before his inauguration.
This is a project management blog – the rest of us need to remember 'unrealistic expectations are unlikely to be fulfilled' and we need to make sure our stakeholders expectations are managed if we expect to be successful. For President Obama, the rules may be different – I certainly hope so there's a lot for him to achieve.
There's lots to do and many of the changes will need good project managers to make them happen. The next few years will be an interesting and hopfully successful journy.
I was recently asked by a colleague for the definition of key stakeholder. Everyone writing about stakeholders uses the term probably synonymously with 'important stakeholder' but what is the actual definition?
One definition is from Cornell University, Information Technologies. Their definition is: 'Key Stakeholders are a subset of Stakeholders who, if their support were to be withdrawn, would cause the project to fail'.
This definition is probably true of IT and internal projects but ignores important stakeholder groups such as the 'environmentalists' opposed to a major engineering project. Some important stakeholders will never support the project and are focused on preventing it proceeding (or in the example above, at least minimising its impact on the environment). They may never see the project's output as good or desirable – for these, effective stakeholder management is about finding an effective, ethical way of neutralising the threat they pose.
We use the term key stakeholder to identify members of the sub-group of stakeholders who have the power to substantially damage the project and may potentially cause it to fail. This group are both important and influential/powerful; they may be individuals such as an important manager or entities such as a regulatory authority. This concept of key stakeholder is used extensively in my book Stakeholder Relationship Management: A Maturity Model for Organisational Implementation (due for publication, September 2009).
Key stakeholders are a subset of stakeholders who have power to prevent the project from achieving its full set of objectives and potentially may cause the project to fail.
This is the flip side of success. Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it. (Chuck Noll, ex-Pittsburgh Steelers Coach). If you fail to manage your project's key stakeholder community, your project is almost certain to fail: not failing however, does not mean succeeding.
A large proportion of the project's key stakeholders will also have the power to influence the determination/perception of the project's eventual success. But in most circumstances, if the project is to be deemed successful, a large numbers of additional stakeholders will have to want to make use the project's output to realise the value/benefits the project was initiated to create.
Achieving success involves significantly more than just completing the project on-time and on-budget. For more on this see my earlier post Success and Stakeholders.
Organisation's Stakeholder: Stakeholders are individuals or groups who will be impacted by, or can influence the success or failure of an organisation's activities.
Project's Stakeholder: Stakeholders are individuals or groups who will be impacted by, or can influence the success or failure of the project's work and/or its deliverables.
Important Stakeholder: A stakeholder who has been identified as important, using an appropriate prioritisation methodology (such as the Stakeholder Circle®), for the purpose of allocating scarce resources to ensure effective communication and to focus other stakeholder management initiatives.
Key Stakeholder: A stakeholder who has to power to prevent the project from achieving its full set of objectives and potentially may cause the project to fail.
Note: By these definitions, key stakeholders are always a potential risk to the project (opportunity and/or threat) but may not be particularly important 'at this point in time' if the relationship is working well (ie, they may not need high priority communication at this point in time). This will be the subject of a future blog.
Are you aware of any better definitions of key stakeholder? Your comments are welcome.
I have been putting the hard yards into finishing my new book on Stakeholder Relationship Management Maturity (SRMM®) over the holiday period and have been considering the relationship between success and stakeholders.
One potential conclusion is that success is gifted to you by your stakeholders, you have to earn the gift but there is no way of knowing for sure if it will be granted. This means as a project manager, sports person or business executive, you have to put the effort in to 'win' by delivering 'on-time and on-budget', finishing first or achieving the planned objective; but achievement on its own does not translate to success. Success is when your achievement is acknowledged by your key stakeholders and they declare it a 'success'.
Some of the world's most famous buildings were project management disasters, but they are now considered outstanding successes. The Sydney Opera House overran time, overran budget and the original scope not achieved. The London Eye needed an additional £48 million loan from British Airways to finance is construction in addition to the original capital raising and was months late in opening to the public (in 2005 BA sold its share of the project for £95m and waived £60m of unpaid interest).
Success seems to come from a combination of two factors. One is delivering something of real value to the stakeholder. The other is when a critical mass of key stakeholders recognises the value and appreciates it. Value is not a synonym for 'on-time and on-budget' these two factors only matter to the extent that they impact on the usefulness of the outcome when it's actually used by the stakeholders. Certainly time and money may be important, more often they are not; particularly if a longer term view of benefits realisation is considered. Benefits are realised when the product is actually used and this requires the relevant stakeholder's participation in actually using the product or output to achive the intended outcomes.
Another important factor in achieving success is meeting the stakeholder's expectations. This involves identifying and managing their expectations (unrealistic expectations are unlikely to be fulfilled) which in turn requires effective two-way communication. But the stakeholder community for any business activity can be huge.
There are a vast number of potential stakeholders who you don't know and can't see. This group is often considered as 'classes' of stakeholder such as 'the public'. The only way to reach individual people this group is through broadcasting messages in a similar way to a corporation advertising it brand image to a general audience. Businesses see this activity as Public Relations (PR) or Marketing. In project space, this is the casual audience for general project newsletters, headlines on a project web page and the corporations 'rumour mill'.
A sub-set of the overall group are the people you know you need to positively influence. In business these groups are the focus of targeted advertising campaigns with specific 'calls to action'. In project space they may be groups such as the end users of a new system. You need to 'sell the benefits' of the product or project to this group so they buy-in to the concept and appreciate the value of the outcome you are creating. There are still too many for one-on-one communication but a carefully planned 'sales campaign' associated with effective change management and similar initiatives are critical if you expect a successful outcome. Many of this group may be recipients of routine monthly reports and the like but more is needed; you need to create positive expectations and then deliver on them.
The smallest and most important group are the key stakeholders who wield significant influence or power. This group require targeted one-on-one communication to build and foster positive relationships. It's a two way process, you need support from them, they need to appreciate the benefits your project or activity will deliver. The Stakeholder Circle® methodology and tools are focused on identifying the 'right' stakeholders at the 'right' time in a project for this critical communication activity. Failure with this group will generally cause your project to fail and before you can 'win' you first have to 'not lose'!
However, the thought in this blog is these key people are probably not enough on their own to declare the final result of your efforts and outstanding success. Real success requires buy-in from a much larger group of stakeholders, such as the 30 million visitors who have 'flown' on the London Eye. But is your organisation mature enough to support the type of structured communication needed to achieve this level of success?
My SRMM® construct addresses the maturity of an organisation to engage in effective stakeholder relationship management and this is a critical start. The bigger question is who's responsible for the wider communication: the project team, the change manager, the sponsor or the organisation? Achieving real success is definitely a lot more complex than just being on-time and on-budget…. Perhaps this could be the subject for another book?

HTC's Nexus Tablet gets regulatory approval in South Korea
August 11, 2014 by Dusan Belic - Leave a Comment
Yesterday it was a rumor and now it's almost confirmed. HTC will make one of the next Nexus tablets.
The earlier leaked HTC Volantis has cleared the regulatory barriers in South Korea and is now officially ready to be sold in the Samsung land. Korean RRA (Radio Research Agency) gave the tablet its seal of approval, but that doesn't mean it's launching tomorrow — it's up to Google to decide when this device will go on sale.
While we don't have that information, we do know this will be one of the best tablets money could buy. Unlike earlier Nexus products that were affordable first, great second – this model will be great first, and perhaps even not that affordable.
From what we know, the Volantis aka Flounder will be a premium product, boasting an aluminum body like the HTC's flagship phones. That fact alone will make it a direct competitor to the Apple iPad, which still tops the best-selling tablet charts.
Moreover, this unit will pack a top-notch hardware too, pretty much making it the Android L poster child (at least among the tablets). And yes, we can't wait to try one the second it's out; and we're hoping to see some cool accessories launching alongside the tablet itself… In the meantime, we're eager to hear what do you think about the HTC Volantis and whether you too would be willing to buy one of these when they hit the market?

I recently had a question from a customer on how to create Wildcard Service Monitors + Recoveries. The Service Monitor from the Monitoring template and a simple Unit Monitor for services both require an explicit service name, no wildcards allowed. For most services this is fine, but there are some applications which do fun and interesting things like concatenate computername + service to create a unique service name. This creates a bit of a problem for monitoring. You can create individual monitors, but if you have hundreds of services each with unique service names that follow a particular pattern creating hundreds of corresponding monitors could get a little time consuming.
Brian Wren has a great article from back in the SCOM 2007 R2 days that answers part of this question, but when I went through the steps I found it needed some slight tweaking and updating for SCOM 2012 R2. Once that was complete I also needed to come up with a simple low overhead wildcard service recovery for when one of the services stops and needs to be brought back online.
Enter Service Name. Use % for a wildcard representing multiple characters. As I don't have any unique services in my environment I am using m% to demonstrate how this can work. For the rest of these instructions wherever you see m% keep in mind that you need to modify this value to match your unique service name wildcard value. Be careful using too broad a wildcard could create a lot of noise and load very quickly in your environment.
We'll be making a few replacements in the code.
In Brian Wren's instructions he used TypeID="Windows!Microsoft,Windows.Win32…" The Alias in my custom console generated MP is MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7585010! If you run into any errors keep in mind that whatever alias is present in the manifest references must be consistent. I haven't tested to confirm, but based on the output it looks like the console MP generated alias is based on MP+Version Number. If you have a different version of the MP and you follow my steps exactly you will likely hit an error as the Alias I provide for Microsoft.Windows.Library is going to be off by a few numbers from yours. If this is the case just modify the alias in my example to match what you have in the rest of the .xml file.
To check and confirm that the discovery associated with the wildcard monitor is working.
A few minutes after importing the updated pack you should see services discovered.
You should now be all set to test out and validate your new monitor.
Just keep in mind that a wildcard discovery if targeted incorrectly (too broad a wildcard, too broad a target group, or both) you could have the recipe for a single monitor that can cause a lot of churn/perf issues/and noise in your environment. So be cautious and test very carefully. Make sure you have a good sense of the number of objects this monitor will pick up not just in your test environment, but once you move it into production. To be clear I would never recommend using a wildcard as broad as m% in production. This picks up way too many services that you likely don't care about.
Also please note that the recovery is equally general as the monitor if not more so. It is also not checking to see if the services that apply to it are already started. In the case of my example m% picks up a bunch of services. If a single service matching that criteria goes down, the recovery will attempt to recover/start every single service that matches that criteria m%. So if you are building your wildcard service monitor to pickup multiple services on single system that follow a common pattern, a failure of one will result in an attempt to recover all.
In theory this shouldn't be a problem. The method I am using is extremely lightweight and if the service is already started in the background the service will just output an exit code of "I'm already started" and remain started. With that said this is only a sample, and its still worth testing in your environment to confirm the behavior and make sure you understand exactly how the recovery is working before you consider implementing.

Inside Rob Lowe's 'near-death experience' with Bigfoot after 'hearing monkey hoots and spotting glowing orbs in the woods'
ROB Lowe said he had a "near-death experience" with Bigfoot while filming his supernatural docuseries.
Throughout his long career, the actor has worn many hats and appeared in multiple movies and TV movies.

In 2017 Lowe starred in The Lowe Files which examined unsolved mysteries across the United States.
The show ran for nine episodes and also featured Lowe's sons John Owen and Matthew.
During his brief time as a paranormal investigator, Lowe and his sons explored poltergeists, alien abductions and cryptids – one of those experiences that nearly cost the actor his life.
While venturing into the mountains of Oklahoma, Lowe described an "incredible encounter" with Bigfoot that left him terrified.
Lowe, who has been interested in Bigfoot for years, said the fascination began after watching the 1972 film The Legend of Boggy Creek as a child.
"There's very little I can say with a totally straight face that I've waited my whole life to do," Lowe told his sons during the show's third episode.
"Going to find Bigfoot is one of them. Every time I've tried camping throughout my life, I've stayed up all night hoping to find Sasquatch.
Two episodes were devoted to chasing the ape-like creature through Northern California before heading to Oklahoma.
The crew also teamed up with Finding Bigfoot host Matt Moneymaker in hopes of luring Sasquatch out of hiding using a series of calls and punches.
In an interview after filming the docuseries, Lowe shared details of the harrowing camping trip.
"We found ourselves 200 miles away in the Ozark Mountains, where no human would ever be at three in the morning surrounded by creatures that made that noise," he said, the creature's grunts during a appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Lowe said, "I was lying on the floor thinking I was going to be killed," before admitting he knew he looked like "a Hollywood lunatic."
However, Brian Brown, a member of the North American Wood Ape Conservancy (NAWAC) who accompanies the Lowe family on the trip, shared his version of events in a blog entry on the organization's website titled My Long, Strange Night. With Rob Lowe.
Brown corrected some of Lowe's statements, saying the trip took place in the Ouachita Mountains rather than the Ozarks.
Brown admitted to hearing a few strange noises as well, including one he said was so clear he assumed the production crew had faked it.
"Some of us were hearing faint monkey-like gasping sounds. Ho-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Quiet but apparently close enough," he wrote.
Glowing orbs were captured on the crew's thermal camera, which Brown said "changed from a marginal appearance of eyes to a more person-like appearance with flashlights."
In the show, the mystery was "solved" after it was revealed that the lights and noises came from a group of Earth clubbers.
Years after production of The Lowe Files ended, Lowe still remembers it fondly.
However, when asked whether or not he believed he had met Bigfoot, Lowe replied, "I don't know" in a 2020 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.
"I mean, here's the thing, like the tagline of The Lowe Files, is it's more fun to believe, and that's really where I get off."
