Nurturing the demolition man – Reda Johnson at home with Eastleigh
Oct 4, 2019 | Interviews and Features, newsnow
Photo: Eastleigh FC
When Eastleigh secured a deal for buccaneering defender Reda Johnson, it is fair to say that many were caught off-guard. The full-blooded performer has long had a scoring knack plenty of strikers would gladly settle for, and three years on from his move to Hampshire, he feels his decision to switch to the Spitfires has been more than vindicated.
In Sheffield Wednesday's automatic promotion from League One in 2011/12, Reda Johnson played an unforgettable part. As a centre-half converted to left-back, the Marseille native helped the Owls to various vital victories, and he proved a formidable proposition for opposing defenders, too, as he plundered seven goals.
The finishing touch was there on many occasions in the Championship, and he enjoyed two second-tier seasons with Wednesday, captaining the side during the latter of those. The biggest challenge for the former Plymouth Argyle man, however, has undoubtedly been keeping him on the pitch.
Statistics can be misleading at times, though his 2012/13 record of 17 games and six goals could barely capture it more aptly in this case – a defender with an extraordinary goal ratio, but far too few appearances. The big man was loved in the Steel City, a fan favourite in every sense, and there was no shortage of sadness when he departed at the end of his contract in 2014.
With injury disruption wiped from his career, it is hard to imagine he could be playing lower than the Championship now, at 31. Getting into the EFL with Eastleigh is his goal now, nevertheless, and he feels he is at a club doing all they can to help him play regularly.
"Last year was the first for a long time where I managed to do 36 games," he explained. "It's been managed with a lot of rest, or sometimes like when you have seven or eight games in a month, trying to not play one or two games, like a 3G (pitch) game.
"When you play on 3G, it's terrible. I remember some players like (former Wednesday teammate) Anthony Gardner, when we were training in Sheffield on a 4G, we were not training, because you can hurt your back, and if you hurt your back, you can hurt your hamstring, and I was really weak on my hamstring."
Plenty of non-league clubs through the years have bagged a well-known name or two in their 30s, with former League players often keen to carry on as long as they can, and willing to drop down divisions to do so. Eastleigh, however, signed Reda at 28, and after two seasons in League One with Coventry City, it seemed a startling coup.
The endeavours to get Eastleigh into the top four divisions, though, have been no secret. Reda signed for the Hampshire club during current Sunderland owner Stewart Donald's tenure, and he recalls why he was convinced to climb on board, and why he still hasn't jumped ship.
"To be fair, when I left Coventry to go to Eastleigh, people didn't really understand how I could go from Coventry, where I had a really good side, and drop to that level. You have to remember I was out injured for a year, and I talked with the chairman, who's now the chairman of Sunderland, and he told me about what he was trying to do.
"To be honest, the challenge was just unbelievable, and there were players like Ryan Cresswell who were going there, so the challenge for the chairman was to go up as soon as possible. We started very, very well the first season, and when Ronnie Moore left, we had just beat Swindon, who were League One, 3-1 away from home (in an FA Cup first round replay).
"They brought Martin Allen in, and Martin was very good with me and very fair, like every manager I had, but we went something like ten games without a win or a point; we were really struggling. The second year, we had a not very good season and Stewart Donald decided to leave for Sunderland.
"I decided to stay, because I still had two more years on my contract, so I just decided to stay, and I enjoy it."
After successive mid-table finishes, Eastleigh began knocking audibly on the door of League Two again last season. With Andy Hessenthaler leaving to take the reins at Dover in October 2018, it was assistant manager Ben Strevens, an established former Football League name himself, who stepped up.
The ex-Brentford and Barnet forward's interim spell was made official in early-November, with the Spitfires going on to take the final play-off place. Reda featured in the extra-time win at Wrexham, as well as the 1-1 draw (and subsequent shootout loss) away to Salford City in the semi-final.
They were two steps away last time around, and Reda could very well return to the EFL with his current side, but how much of a deep desire is there to play League football again, and how much is about just enjoying his football, after several disrupted campaigns?
"A lot of people don't believe me, but I like to have the security. When I signed for Eastleigh, I could have signed for Charlton, Bradford, Shrewsbury, so I had clubs in League One, but I just decided to drop, because I knew the project and the security the chairman was offering me was a lot better than what I could get with those clubs.
"I had some great times here and I signed a new three-year contract that January, so it's not just about going to play in the Football League, but the right team."
Reda has worn the armband during his time at the club, and captain Danny Hollands is currently in rich scoring form as they eye a move up the table from 15th in the weeks to come, with teams still very much congested. At 39, manager Ben Strevens is not long removed from the heart of the matchday action himself, and Reda feels that is a significant plus point.
"The difference (to other managers) is that I played with him, so he's someone who can really understand the players, because Strevs was still playing with us last season. Sometimes, if you've been a manager for 20 or 30 years, you can forget some of it.
"He's very close with the players and he's also got a very good coach with him, Jason (Bristow), so it's working really well."
The match-winner at home to Notts County back on the opening day, Reda wants to be bringing similar noise over the months to come. There is, however, no longer a chirpy Irish winger to help with that side.
"We had Mark Yeates last year, who plays for Fylde now; he was the DJ last season, and a very good DJ, to be honest. Right now, it's Joe Partington; he just signed from Bristol Rovers.
"Last year, it was a bit of everything; like for the boys who love to go to Ibiza to listen to before the game. I won't say electro, but it's a bit of house and everything.
"This season it's a bit different, so I'm not going to lie, I took my own earphones and I listen to my own music!"

Q: Is there an efficient way to provide an alias for a class member in C++? Here is a base class:
class Base
{
public:
    int foo;
    // ...
};

This class is declared in a header file that I cannot change because I don't have the rights to do so.
Here is a derived class:
class Derived : public Base
{
public:
    // provide alias to Base::foo
    // ...
};

Is there a way I can provide an alternate name that refers to Base::foo inside class Derived without using pointers or references?
In other words, is there any way to provide an alias without adding any extra class members to Derived?
Also, if conditional compilation directives can be avoided, that would be ideal.

A: No, there is no renaming feature (though there was some work done on such a feature in the early days but it was dropped).
There's no way to do what you want other than adding the desired name as a member to Derived, and forwarding it to the base class function.  Note however that this can be inline and should be absorbed by the compiler so it won't hurt performance.

eSanjeevani – India's National Telemedicine Service
Sh. Lav Aggarwal1, Dr. Sanjay Sood2 & Dr. P.K. Khosla2
1 Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India, New Delhi
2 Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, Mohali
eSanjeevani – National Telemedicine Service is a cutting-edge, indigenous telemedicine system that is not only bridging the rural-urban, digital health divide but is also provisioning health services for the Indian populace in the confines of their homes. eSanjeevani is an initiative of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India it has been developed and is being managed by the Health Informatics Group at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) in Mohali. eSanjeevani is providing telemedicine services in two variants: 1. eSanjeevaniAB-HWC: A Doctor-to-Doctor telemedicine system under Ayushman Bharat Scheme of Govt. of India at Health & Wellness Centres, to provision specialised health services in rural areas and isolated communities, and 2. eSanjeevaniOPD: a Patient-to-doctor, telemedicine system that is enabling people to get outpatient services in the confines of their homes.
In a very short span eSanjeevani has evolved into South-East Asia's largest telemedicine service. Collectively, the eSanjeevani network is operational in 31 States, around 35,000 doctors and paramedics have been trained and onboarded, and around 18,000 Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs) have been enabled for telemedicine services across the country. 256 online OPDs have been set up on eSanjeevaniOPD. eSanjeevani telemedicine network is providing safe, contactless medical consultations without having the patient to travel to the doctors. eSanjeevani is supposedly India's largest telemedicine service. In less than one-year eSanjeevani has served over 3.7 million patients and daily around 45,000 patients are served through eSanjeevani. Numerous premier institutions like AIIMS Bathinda, AIIMS Bibinagar, AIIMS Rishikesh, Lady Hardinge Medical College and Hospital, King George's Medical University etc. are offering specialised services through eSanjeevani. This flagship telemedicine application of Government of India is in a continuous state of flux, it is being enriched on regular basis (with innovative concepts and flows) based on the feedback received from the State Administrations that are using eSanjeevani, and also on the basis of the directions of Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India.
eSanjeevani is the first telemedicine platform that conforms to the Electronic Health Records Guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India. It being a cloud-based system, the system can be configured and expanded in no time. The telemedicine platform enables health administrators to efficiently utilise doctors in their team as the system permits health administrators to dynamically regulate doctors onboarding and offboarding in OPDs, based on the footfall. In eSanjeevani, the processes have been designed in such a way that patients do not need to wait for more than 15 minutes to get a medical consultation. As of now average patient waiting time in eSanjeevaniOPD is 8 mins 47 sec.
eSanjeevani empowers, doctors and patients additionally as it is also integrated with few healthcareIT applications that are being used in the States. eSanjeevaniAB-HWC is seamlessly (& wirelessly) integrated with a compact and integrated diagnostic device. It can gather over 30 medical parameters based on point of care tests (POCT) and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) besides the physiological parameters. eSanjeevani variants are available as web-apps (esanjeevani.in & esanjeevaniopd.in) and Android application of eSanjeevaniOPD is also available, it has been downloaded by over 500,000 users. The iOS version of eSanjeevanOPD is undergoing testing and soon it will be rolled out. With the launch of iOS based app of eSanjeevaniOPD, it is anticipated that the utilisation of eSanjeevani would grow further. At the moment over two-thirds of the consultations are being executed through mobile application. eSanjeevani is being readied to comply with the compliances specified by the National Health Authority in National Digital Health Mission of National Health Authority, Govt. of India.
In December 2020, at Digital India Awards 2020 eSanjeevani was adjudged as the country's best innovation during pandemic and the award was conferred by Honb'le President of India. eSanjeevani has also been recognized by Computer Society of India, SKOCH Group and has won the Gem of Digital India Award. eSanjeevani is also amongst the front-runners at Govt. of India's National Awards for eGovernance (NAeG).

First use of the Prefix 'Tele' for Telemedicine
(History and Evolution of Telemedicine – 6th Milestone)
Dr. Sunil Shroff, MS, FRCS, Dip. Urol (Lond.)
President, Tamil Nadu Telemedicine Society of India,
Editor, www.medindia.net,
Consultant Urologist & Transplant Surgeon, Madras Medical Mission Hospital, Chennai, India (shroffmed@gmail.com).
The credit for using the prefix 'Tele' goes to the speciality of cardiology. In the earlier issue of the newsletter, the transmission of ECG over 1500 meters by Willem Einthoven, a Dutch professor of physiology (Telehealth Newsletter -Vol.1, Issue.2 Nov 2020) was covered. It was Einthoven who first to use this Latin prefix Tele to denote distant medical care and called it "telecardiogram". He went on to publish this in 1906 in the journal "Archives Internationales de Physiologie" describing this experiment as the first tele-medical technology (Einthoven, 1906). After this over the years, several publications were made on the use of tele-ECG application that avoided the need for the patients to travel.
But it was M. Franke and W. Lipinski 1936 who published an article about clinical application and variations in tele-electrocardiogram of patients with infectious diseases (in particular with scarlet fever and diphtheria). They invented the Franke-Lipinski tele-cardiological system and helped patients to avoid travel. Franke said in an article, "keeping the patient in one place allowed avoiding adverse events, associated with the patient's transportation." This was more required for patients with infectious diseases where remote monitoring was required. They also felt that it could be applied for critically ill patients on ventilation and this was the first indication of the use of telemedicine for intensive care.
In 1980 E. Sh. Halfen, said "One of the characteristic features of medicine of our time is authoritative, irresistible penetration of mathematics and cybernetics into medicine" He determined three main lines for tele-ECG application (Halfen E., 1980; 1985; 1974; 1977; 1980 a; 1980 b; 1980 c; Khramov A. et al., 1996):
1. Clinical medicine (including rural health care, emergency medical service, large enterprises, sanatoria, etc.);
2. Mass preventive onsite screening examinations (combined with automated ECG analysis);
3. ECG patient-activated transmission (auto-transmission) during outpatient treatment.
And between 1972 and 1979 about 250 000 ECGs were transmitted in Saratov region.
Today India's own STEMI project is an advanced application of remote monitoring through ECG transmission to reverse the fatal ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). This is a clinically a challenging condition that requires prompt intervention. In Tamil Nadu alone there have been over 2,400 early interventions in the last few years. The National Commission on Macro-economics and Health has projected the evolving epidemic of coronary artery disease in India. There were 60 million patients with coronary heart disease in the year 2015 with a yearly mortality close to 3 million. A substantial number of these were due to acute STEMI or the delayed consequences of STEMI. If the project is implemented nationally and connected to the 108 State Ambulance services it can save millions of lives.

An A.I.-powered "swarm intelligence" has predicted a winner for this possible NFC title game.
I wonder if last year's NFC title game will come up, or whether NBC will show this highlight. Poor, poor Marcus Williams, who lowered his head in an attempt to gore Vikings receiver Stefon Diggs on the game's final play, only to come up with nothing but air and become famous for all the wrong reasons. The internet then set to work doing what it does best: holding up the unfortunate as objects for our collective ridicule.
Prior to this season, both of these teams looked primed to return to the NFC Championship, and despite some early stumbles, a rematch looks like a distinct possibility (although of course, the undefeated Rams will almost certainly have something to say about that).
The Vikings replaced Case Keenum with Kirk Cousins in the offseason, a clear upgrade at the most important position. However, injuries have taken a toll, as the once-promising second-year running back Dalvin Cook continues to miss time due to a hamstring injury. Star defensive end Everson Griffen also missed time, but in rare bit of good news, he has rejoined the team — although it's unclear whether he will play this week.
On the other sideline, the Saints now employ the passing-yardage GOAT and have marched to a 5-1 start and exalted status as One of the Four Actually Good Teams in the NFL (my term; go and get your own). Even so, the Saints needed a missed extra point from the NFL's most accurate kicker of all time to squeak by the Ravens last week. The law of averages holds that the Saints' luck is destined to balance out at some point. Why not this weekend? Vikings 31, Saints 27 is my prediction but how did an A.I.-powered "swarm" of NFL experts predict this one turning out?
To predict the result of this Week 8 match-up, Unanimous A.I. used what's known as swarm intelligence to forecast the week's slate. Some 25 NFL enthusiasts worked together as a hive mind to make picks. As you can see in the animation below, each participant controlled a little golden magnet and used it to drag the puck toward the answer they thought was the most likely outcome. As the users saw the puck move toward a particular decision, it triggered a psychological response. They readjusted their decision-making, building toward the consensus you see below. It's an artificial intelligence produced by human brains working together as a swarm.
As you can see in the animation above, the swarm of 25 NFL experts worked together to create a hive-mind that chose the Saints to beat the Vikings on the road. The swarm also has low confidence that the Saints will beat the 1-point spread in this match-up.
The Saints play at the Vikings at 8:20 p.m. Eastern Sunday on NBC.


· Could you describe a life situation or relationship that needed forgiveness on your part?
- One relationship where I have had to exercise forgiveness was with my mother. Based on how she has behaved for many years, I have a lot of anger and resentment towards here.
· What made you decide to forgive?
- This was not soemthign that happened overnight. The best way to describe it would be to say that it is soemthign that happened over time. As I continued to heal myself and my awareness increased, it was a natural consequence of what I had been doing for many years.
· What was your inspiration or motivation to forgive?
- I wasn't prepared to stay stuck and to hang onto feelings that were having a negative effect on my life. What it all came down to, as I have said above, is awareness. I would say it doesn't matter whether someone forgives another or not, what matters is that they are able to process how they feel.
· Are there any specific types of tools or practices that helped you forgive?
- I would say there were a number of things that helped. One thing that helped was talking about my feelings and being validated. Another was reading about human psychology and find out why people do what they do. This allowed me to step back and to see that her behaviour was unconscious and not intentional.
· What important advice or tips would you give to someone in regards to the power of forgiveness?
- I would say that if someone is finding it hard to move on and to put something behind them, it is going to be important for them to ask themselves if they want go stay stuck or if they want to move on. They could hold onto how they feel (and after a while they could become addicted to these feelings), but this won't change anything. The only thing it will do is have a negative effect on their life.
So if this is something they are struggling with, it is going to be important for them to seek external support. This could be a therapist, a friend or it could be support group. What matters is that they reach out and don't allow what happened in the past to define their life.

Profile of Abdul Wahid Hamid
Abdul Wahid Hamid was born in San Juan, Trinidad where he had his early education and worked as an elementary school teacher before leaving on a scholarship to the Azhar in Cairo, Egypt.

One Hajji's apprehension (then acceptance) of the animal sacrifice
Sacrificing certain types of animals during Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha are part of Islamic rites. Here is Muslim American Michel Jansen's experience of apprehension towards Islamic animal sacrifice during Hajj and how she reconciled herself to the rite.
Excerpts from "Islam: The Natural Way"
These are a series of excerpts from Abdul Wahid Hamid's book "Islam: The Natural Way", an excellent guide to the Islamic worldview and lifestyle, particularly for Muslims born and/or raised in Western countries.
Book review of "Islam: The Natural Way"
Islam the Natural Way by Abdul Wahid Hamid provides an understanding of the main concerns of Islam and the foundations on which it is built. It seeks to show that Islam is the natural way for all creation.

Companions of the Prophet Book Review
What I like about the Companions of the Prophet is that, like in Islam The Natural Way, it is not formal, difficult to understand, or preachy. It is a straightforward narrative, that not only gives you the information, but hits you where you need it the most: your heart.

UAE dairy Al Rawabi introducing new products
Dubai: Dubai-based dairy and juice firm, Al Rawabi, plans increase its turnover to Dh1.5 billion by 2020, its Vice-Chairman Abdullah Al Qubaisi said. Turnover in 2015 was around Dh890 million.
The company aims to do this by launching new products, such as cheese and coffee, and increasing its share in the UAE market from 35 per cent today to 40 per cent, Al Qubaisi told Gulf News on the sidelines of a press conference in Dubai on Wednesday.
Founded in 1989, Al Rawabi manufactures juice and dairy products at its farm in Dubai's Al Khawaneej area, and exports to Oman, Qatar, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Yemen.
The company will also focus on producing more functional products that have more healthy ingredients, such as milk for consumers that have diabetes.
"We will not leave our core products like milk and juice but we will be more specialised in functional products," said Al Rawabi chief executive Ahmad Al Tigani
On Wednesday, the company said that it will embark on an Dh80 million regional expansion.
It will invest Dh60 million to modernise its production facility in Al Khawaneej.
"We are going to change the filling machines and the pasteurisation and homogenisation units to be more automatic. We are going to add new inventions from Sweden and Denmark," he said. "This will improve the quality of the products and help deliver them faster to consumers."
The production facility is expected to be automated by March 2017, boosting daily production of dairy products and juice by 15 per cent, from the current 285,000 litres and 185,000 litres respectively, Al Tigani said.
The remaining investment will go into setting up distribution centres in new markets in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) and Africa, including Kuwait, Bahrain, Algeria, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Kenya, he said. It is also looking to open distribution centres in Saudi Arabia, including Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam, by 2017.
"Africa is a promising market … it has a big population and the consumption there is very high," he said.
In Abu Dhabi, Al Rawabi is looking to acquire a farm with an existing production facility, Al Qubaisi said. The facility, which is 80 per cent complete, will need an additional investment of $100 million in the next five years.
"We are in discussions with investors who own a farm but cannot run it. We will run it and transfer everything, including the cows," he said, adding that Al Rawabi's existing farm in Dubai is "fully utilised".
If the company reaches an agreement with the investors, whom Al Qubaisi did not name, the facility could be operational by the end of 2017, he said. Al Rawabi also aims to supply its products to more than 15,000 stores in the GCC by the end of this year, from 12,500 today.
Al Tigani said he expects the company's turnover to grow by 15 per cent in the current year.

An excellent and very professional production
Aberystwyth Arts Centre , Aberystwyth Arts Centre , August-29-09
"Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start." "To begin at the beginning…" despite these lyrical recommendations I am going to start halfway through. Not withstanding the near-flawless first half of this excellent and very professional production by Anthony Williams, it was the second half that really compelled. Marcus Cunningham was well into his engaging stride as the strong and single minded king.
The tension in the story is much higher now. The beautiful love between the lovely young Tuptim (an attractive chattel given as a gift to the King of Siam by the King of Burma for his own delight) and her handsome beau Lun Tha is hurtling towards its doomed ending. Both these roles are exquisitely acted and sung by Jennifer Tanarez and Makakilo Ancheta. They are part of the strong core of International, West End performers that greatly enhance the Aberystwyth stage. Shona Lindsay as Anna adds to the poignancy and the drama with her beautifully sung reprise of Hello, Young Lovers. She maybe getting the King to see things more her way and they both are sheer delight in their invitation: Shall We Dance, and execute a perfect, prancing polka. Sadly it was the King's last fling. A little later we see him on his death bed. In his last moments Cunningham shows real acting strength. This is reflected in the fine performance of Aberystwyth schoolboy Aled Jones as the new king and a leader of his country into a more civilised and progressive attitude. Williams allowed his play to end realistically, in spite of its sadness, giving us all an up-lifting note of hope in our hearts as we left the theatre.
A very strong point in Anthony William's choreographic style is the way he allows his dances to grow organically out of the story and they are always a true enhancement to the development of the narrative. His expertise is in bold and delightful evidence in the two notable diversions in this act. First, the opening number, Western People very amusingly led by another perfectly judged performance by Joanne Henry as the loyal Lady Thiang with the company around her making very clever play with their eastern fans. The presentation of the play within a play, The Small House of Uncle Thomas was sheer icing on the cake. The story engagingly told to us by Tuptim whilst behind her exciting dancing, flowing silks and striking lighting on the bright reflective floor dynamically illustrated the simple story.
This was a satisfyingly theatrical production, almost Brechtian. A spacious fairly bare stage, dominated by a huge Statue of the Buddha, splendidly executed by designer Steve Denton. This meant a big demand on the lighting design which was faultlessly met by Iestyn Griffith. Sound design and control was also top quality as was the unseen band under the expert direction of Michael Morwood, the vividly colourful costume design lighting up the stage.
There was a very spectacular opening as a thunderstorm welcomed Mrs Anna's ship into the Siamese port. The Captain of the Ship and later Sir Edward Ramsey were both given an assured and sensitive performance by National Theatre player Andy Hawthorn. As soon as we set eyes on Shona Lindsay it was clear that not only was she good to look at but she was commandingly at home on the stage and in her role.
The strength of the second act came from its verisimilitude. Although we are in the world of make-believe musical theatre it is important that we are convinced of the truthfulness of all the characters and the relationships between them. There was a need for this to be drawn more clearly right from the first moment. For example the young actor playing Anna's son Louis spoke well and sung excellently, no weakness in his individual work, but he needed to be given more assurance to enable him to stand strong in his role. Again the ensemble playing wasn't led to gel too well in the early part of the play but it gained in strength as the story progressed as did the strength of our appreciation.

How COVID-19 has raised the profile of laboratory professionals: the unsung, unseen heroes of the pandemic
PCR testing is largely misunderstood work. But thanks to the extraordinary efforts of lab technicians, scientists, and pathologists throughout the fightback against COVID-19, laboratory professionals are starting to receive the plaudits they have always so thoroughly deserved.
While frontline workers such as doctors and nurses have rightfully been celebrated since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the ones processing SARS-CoV-2 samples — the lab workers — are just as critical to the collective response to the virus. Without the support and vital insights provided by an army of industrious lab scientists, frontline health workers would be firing blind.
Tests carried out in the laboratory are central to the entire health ecosystem. According to the CDC, <70% of all medical decisions are based on lab results. It seems unfair, then, that lab professionals are rarely classified as essential workers.
Lab scientists have always been well-regarded for their high level of proficiency and attention to detail, but the pandemic has pushed this to the limit — and required them to work at a feverish pace.
Working long hours in clinical laboratories — often around-the-clock with little sleep — they have played a pivotal role in rapidly diagnosing cases of COVID-19 and preventing its spread. In many instances, they are the reason entire industries have been able to stay functioning and avoid complete collapse.
Before the first COVID vaccines were approved in late 2020, mass testing was the only reliable way to trace, contain, and treat the virus. The burden placed on lab professionals has been huge, and burnout has been common — particularly given how demanding and meticulous polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is.
Stopping the virus in its tracks
PCR tests are the most common type of COVID test performed by laboratory professionals. They involve isolating and detecting the virus' RNA (genetic material) in the cells collected on a nasal swab. While RNA is similar to DNA, RNA is a single strand folded into itself (as opposed to DNA's double strand).
Once RNA has been detected, the next step is to convert it into DNA. This DNA is then replicated millions of times to make it even easier to detect. If the genetic material for SARS-CoV-2 is still detected, the patient is confirmed as having COVID-19.
Quickly identifying a COVID-positive patient means the team can immediately refer the patient to health professionals and prevent them from spreading the virus to others — saving lives in the process.
Of course, most patients don't see the lab. Operating behind the scenes, lab scientists might not get the same coverage as frontline workers, but they're equally as diligent and resilient. Processing thousands of tests each day is no mean feat, particularly during coronavirus spikes that threatened to overwhelm the entire healthcare system.
Since the pandemic began, lab technicians and scientists across the globe have carried out a virtually uninterrupted diagnostics programme. In doing so, they've given physicians the means to administer more effective therapeutic treatments for COVID.

The rise of the remote laboratory
In response to the pandemic, bespoke remote testing teams have sprung up all over the world — providing tailored solutions to different organisations' specific needs and ensuring that industries can keep operating safely. This visibility, as much as anything, has helped raise the profile of lab professionals and shine the spotlight on what their work entails.
As part of the global mass testing drive, SRG's scientific service provider Synergy has supported Cignpost Diagnostics — a U.K. government-approved COVID-19 testing provider — in the swift delivery of highly experienced scientific professionals for rapid onsite testing.
Cignpost Diagnostics was established to help businesses of all sizes create safe working environments during the pandemic. The screening service provides onsite and offsite testing for COVID-19, as well as consultancy services to ensure clients' employees can work safely. Cignpost Diagnostics' complete end-to-end testing solution helps businesses get back up and running and represents the gold standard for the industry.
As the pandemic progressed, Cignpost Diagnostics sought to pivot their existing services and approached Synergy for assistance in hiring, onboarding, training, and managing the team required for the projects they had recently won.
The Cignpost Diagnostics team needed a rapidly scalable model that allowed them to provide on-location scientists to keep the PGA Golf Tournament running, as well as various high-profile TV and film set locations around the U.K. In other words, they needed scientists willing to temporarily relocate and join mobile teams that could deliver timely, accurate results.
Lab technicians and scientists were quick to address the call. Within the space of five months, Cignpost Diagnostics had, with Synergy's resourcing support, assembled talented teams of lab professionals across twenty-three global locations. By remaining agile and following meticulous COVID testing protocols for employees, these highly mobile teams ensured that major global events could safely go ahead.
Without their steadfast commitment to rapidly test everyone involved, these events would not only have been cancelled, but the virus may have spread further.
The work continues
Despite being largely hidden from view, lab professionals have always been at the forefront of the major developments in medicine — from 19th-century lab tests to identify cholera to the pandemic response units of the early 21st century. Indeed, the existence of a strong, longstanding laboratory infrastructure has proven crucial over the last year.
Even now, COVID sampling rarely stops. Thousands of tests are carried out in numerous locations and containers of test swabs continually stream into the lab. But teamwork makes the dream work — as the saying goes — and the camaraderie at the heart of a COVID testing team is the driving force behind their vital work.
At the time of writing, over 85 million COVID tests had been performed in the UK alone — at a rate of almost 600,000 a day. As mass vaccine programmes enable societies to slowly reopen and gain some respite from the virus, the public is finally starting to see the true extent of the role that laboratory scientists, technicians, and technologists continue to play.

The next car in line after the XT5 is the 2018 Cadillac XT7. This will be the perfect replacement for the current SRX model. The vehicle was spotted by spy shooters while it was going road-test. It features an excellent SUV design with three-row cabin design. The new Cadillac XT7 shares its design platform with the current XT5 and the Cadillac Escalade models. The major competitors include Jaguar F-Pace, BMW X3, Audi Q5 and others.
The upcoming Cadillac XT7 SUV is quite longer than its predecessor, the XT5. The design is more of a combination between XT5, XT6, and Escalade. It features a larger wheelbase which allows for more interior space. You should expect a bold grille and enlarged bumper at the front end. The 2018 Cadillac XT7 also comes with revised air vents for better engine cooling. It adopts modern LED technology for the headlights and taillights. The automaker has installed fog lights to enhance visibility during rainy periods. The full-size crossover adopts a light chassis featuring a combination of aluminum and high-strength steel. The light body designing will help in improving the car's aerodynamic power as well as fuel efficiency. Furthermore, the rear end appears sportier with a premium exhaust system. It will ride on luxurious aluminum alloy wheels.
Inside the car, consumers will access a modern functional cabin featuring the latest infotainment features and technological equipment. The enlarged wheelbase contributes to the spacious interior room with sufficient headroom and legroom. This is actually an excellent improvement from the manufacturer considering the previous XT5 had lesser space inside. However, the 2018 Cadillac XT7 crossover comes with high-quality seats with premium leather upholstery. Most sections of the cabin, including the revised dashboard, adopts quality wood trimming.
The car will be offered with a wide-screen infotainment touch screen where most control and operation features will be accessed by the driver and the front passenger. Entertainment will be offered using a 10 Bose sound system with USB ports interface, HD satellite radio, Bluetooth audio connectivity and also CD/MP3/MP4 player. Other standard interior features are automatic climate control, smartphone integration, modern air conditioner and satellite navigation system. The automaker is going to provide numerous safety and driver assistance features including rearview camera, cruise control, blind-spot warning system, rear parking sensors, forward collision monitoring system, safety belts, airbags, and also automatic emergency braking system.
The Cadillac has not provided full powertrain details for the 2018 XT7. However, there are greater chances that the vehicle will be powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine capable of delivering up to 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. It will be mated to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission system that is rooted in either front-wheel drive (FWD) system or all-wheel drive (AWD) system. There are rumors that the Chinese market will be getting a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. This is actually the highest performing engine version of the Cadillac XT7.
The manufacturer has not yet confirmed the exact release date for the vehicle. It is however expected to hit showrooms by the mid of 2017. Finally, the 2018 Cadillac XT7 will cost around $39,990 for the base model while higher versions will go for as much as $65,835.

The Book of Boba Fett Featurette Spotlights Temuera Morrison's Performance
Dec 29, 2021 Boba, book, Featurette, Fett, Morrisons, Performance, Spotlights, Temuera
Disney+ has released a brand new behind-the-scenes featurette for Lucasfilm's latest live-action Star Wars series The Book of Boba Fett, featuring commentaries from Dave Filoni, and Robert Rodriguez. The first episode titled "Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land," is now available for streaming.
The Book of Boba Fett featurette, which you can check out below, gives spotlight to Temuera Morrison's performance as the titular bounty hunter, with Filoni and Rodriguez praising Morrison for his incredible work on the character.
RELATED: Robert Rodriguez on The Book of Boba Fett: 'Every Episode Has Big Surprises'
The Book of Boba Fett sees the return of Temuera Morrison as he reprises his fan-favorite space bounty hunter role as Boba Fett, who was last seen by Star Wars fans during the post-credits scene of the second season finale of The Mandalorian.

Copyright Litigation: Forensic Exam, Testimony Fail to Demonstrate Infringing Material on Defendant's Computer
Chicago, Illinois – Magistrate Judge Geraldine Soat Brown of the Northern District of Illinois granted the motion for summary judgment of John Doe, the anonymous Defendant sued by pornographer Malibu Media LLC ("Malibu") on allegations of copyright infringement.
Plaintiff alleged that, between May 2013 and July 2013, Defendant infringed Malibu's copyright in 24 movies by downloading them from the internet using file-sharing software known as BitTorrent. Copyright attorneys for Malibu filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Defendant, stating that Defendant had been identified by the internet protocol ("IP") address that had been used to infringe. Defendant was permitted to litigate anonymously as "John Doe" ("Doe").
Malibu submitted various pieces of evidence to support its contentions that Doe had infringed the copyrights on Malibu's works, including a declaration by the founder of Malibu and declarations of various experts, such as forensic investigators. Doe denied Plaintiff's claims and contested its method of proof.
The court evaluated Malibu's evidence, noting that some of it was simply pro forma and included no relevant and particularized statements about the copyright infringement that Malibu alleged had been committed by Doe. The court stated that at least one pleading was described by Malibu as containing attached materials that had not, in fact, been attached. Other material was described by Malibu as having been sent to the court, while the court indicated that it had never been received.
The court also reproached Malibu's attorneys for misrepresenting to the court the court's earlier statements regarding the relevant evidentiary requirements to prove Doe's liability. It further noted that Malibu had failed to adhere to required procedures, such as the serving of several disclosures under Rule 26(a)(2). Because those disclosures had not been made, and because the court held that the failure to disclose was evidence of at least willfulness, if not bad faith, two of Malibu's declarations were stricken in their entirety as were portions of a third declaration. All of Malibu's statements of fact that relied upon the stricken material were also excluded from evidence.
The court subsequently concluded that "Malibu has no evidence that any of its works were ever on Doe's computer or storage device," stating that Malibu's contention that Doe had used visualization software to infringe Malibu's works was merely speculation:
Malibu admits that there is no evidence of visualization software on Doe's computer, and not even any evidence of the deletion of visualization software. Malibu says that is "beyond fishy," and speculates that Doe must have deleted visualization software from his computer in some way that hides the fact that it was deleted, and then extends the speculation to suggest that Doe must have done that deletion to hide his infringement of Malibu's works. That is not evidence that Doe copied or distributed Malibu's works.
The court granted Defendant's motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, which asked the court to conclude that Doe had infringed its copyrighted works, was denied.
Practice Tip #1: Malibu has filed a multitude of virtually identical lawsuits around the country. According to a recent case in New York, "Malibu is a prolific litigant: between January and May 2014, for example, Malibu was responsible for 38% of copyright lawsuits filed in the United States." Malibu Media, LLC v. Doe, No 15 Civ. 4369 (AKH), 2015 WL 4092417, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. July 6, 2015).
Practice Tip #2: We have blogged about Malibu Media's litigation exploits before. Some recent posts include:
• Magistrate Rejects Malibu Media's Request for Fees and Sanctions
• Malibu Media Sues Nine Additional "John Does" Asserting Copyright Infringement
• Fourteen New Lawsuits Asserting Copyright Infringement Filed by Malibu Media
• Malibu Media Alleges Infringement of Thirty Copyrighted Works
• Another John Doe Sued by Malibu Media on Allegations of Copyright Infringement
The opinion was by Magistrate Judge Geraldine Soat Brown in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The case was assigned Case No. 1:13-cv-06312.

One chart that shows why the Republican Party was ready for Donald Trump
America might be a nation of immigrants, but voters don't agree about whether immigrants are good for America.
By Dara Lind May 3, 2016, 11:20am EDT
Share All sharing options for: One chart that shows why the Republican Party was ready for Donald Trump
Immigration reform used to be an issue that split both parties: Pro-business Republicans faced off against cultural conservatives, while within the Democratic Party Latino advocates faced off against labor.
But over the past 10 years, immigration has become a partisan issue.
This change isn't just a shift in where politicians take certain policy questions. It's also a change in whether Americans think that immigrants, in general, are a good thing for America:
This is about culture first, and politics second
To a certain extent, polarization on immigration in Washington and polarization among voters reinforce each other.
In 2005, when comprehensive immigration reform was a key priority of President George W. Bush, Republicans and Democrats were about equally likely to think that immigrants strengthened America. Once Bush's successor, Barack Obama, started stressing the need for comprehensive immigration reform, though, Republicans were much less likely to look favorably on immigrants — according to Pew's findings, Republican attitudes changed precipitously between late 2009 and summer 2010.
But this isn't the whole story, because the debate in Washington over comprehensive immigration reform has always had a tenuous relationship to how Americans actually feel about immigrants.
Historically, even the "anti-amnesty" politicians who opposed comprehensive immigration reform stressed that immigrants were welcome in America as long as they came (and stayed) legally. For most Americans, though, the difference that matters isn't between legal and unauthorized immigrants — it's between immigrants they find likely to assimilate into "American culture" and those who (they believe) cannot.
Related How Americans really feel about immigrants
Americans are much more ambivalent about immigrants, in general, than you might expect from listening to politicians talk about immigration — or than you might guess by looking at polling for various immigration reform proposals.
For many white Americans over the past couple of decades, that ambivalence has hardened into a constellation of stereotypes: associating "immigrant" with "illegal immigrant," "illegal immigrant" with "Latino immigrant," and "Latino immigrant" with "criminal."
This is the genius of Donald Trump's presidential campaign: His rhetoric homes in directly on the things that actually worry many Americans about immigrants, rather than using economic or legal arguments as a way to gesture toward cultural fears.
But as the chart shows, Trump wasn't just exploiting a sentiment among American voters — he's exploiting a sentiment among specifically Republican voters.
Anti-Latino sentiment has consolidated in the GOP
The changes shown in the Pew chart don't just reflect Democrats or Republicans changing their minds about whether immigrants are good for America. (In fact, most of the people changing their minds are embracing immigrants; overall, the most recent Pew poll found 59 percent of Americans agree that immigration strengthens the country, which is the highest level of support in 20 years.)
They reflect changes in who identifies as a Republican or a Democrat.
Over the past 20 years, the Democratic Party has gotten markedly more ethnically diverse...
Marisa Abrajano & Zoltan L. Hajnal
...as white voters have increasingly identified with Republicans:
Not all of the white voters who have switched parties are motivated by anti-Latino sentiment. But the voters who are motivated by anti-Latino sentiment are particularly likely to have switched parties.
Before 2000, there was a correlation between negative feelings toward Latinos and identifying as strongly Republican. But that was just a side effect; how people felt toward black Americans was a much better predictor of how strongly they identified with the GOP.
In the 21st century, the two have diverged. All else being equal — even sentiment toward African Americans — a white American in 2008 who felt negatively toward Latinos was likely to be more strongly Republican (one-third of a point on a seven-point scale from strong Republican to strong Democrat) than someone who felt positively toward them.
There's no indication that the trend has abated since 2008. Indeed, the Pew polling shows that sentiment toward immigrants among Republicans hit new lows in May 2015, with only 27 percent of Republicans saying immigrants strengthened America. That was just before Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign.
While Donald Trump didn't make Republicans wary of immigrants' effect on America, though, he does appear to have made the remaining skeptics in the Democratic Party embrace them.
In May 2015, on the eve of Trump's campaign launch, 62 percent of Democrats said that immigrants strengthened America. In March 2016, 78 percent said they did — a 16-percentage-point jump.
That's the biggest reason pro-immigrant sentiment is at a 20-year high: The Democrats who hadn't already embraced immigrants are doing so now.
If that holds, it will complete the last phase of the partisanization of immigration. Republican voters are already fairly united in their distrust of immigrants, and many Republican politicians are following their lead. Democratic politicians, meanwhile, are fairly united in their support of immigrants. And now, Democratic voters appear to be embracing their identity as the pro-immigrant party.

2012 Sun Bowl: Matt Barkley's collegiate finale in doubt

Gary A. Vasquez-US PRESSWIRE
With less than two weeks remaining before a Sun Bowl game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, the quarterback situation for the USC Trojans is far from set, as senior Matt Barkley has yet to return to practice, according to a report from Ken Sugiura of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Barkley is still trying to recover from a shoulder injury suffered in a loss to the UCLA Bruins. In the following week, Barkley sat out while redshirt freshman Max Wittek took over against the No. 1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and completed 14 of 23 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown in a loss.
Per Sugiura, Barkley is not expected to return in time for USC's first practice in El Paso on Dec. 26. With the 2013 NFL Draft less than four months after the Sun Bowl, it's possible that Barkley will not want to risk pushing his shoulder past its limits. Wittek and Barkley are currently listed as the co-starters at quarterback for the Trojans.

Intrigued by the violin, Elizabeth Skinner began studying music at the age of nine in her hometown of Victoria, Canada. Since then, she has become an engaging and versatile performer and educator, sharing music across America, Europe and Asia.
An active chamber musician, she is a founding member of Trio Émerillon and a member of Montreal's cutting-edge classical string band, collectif9. She has performed at notable festivals including the Lucerne Festival Academy in Switzerland, Music Masters Course in Japan, the Banff Centre Music Festival, the Toronto Summer Music Academy, Domaine Forget Music Academy as well as Chamber Academy, Music By The Sea, and the Rosebud Chamber Music Festival in Canada. Elizabeth has also performed at the Brevard Music Festival and Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival in the USA, New Music for Strings Festival in Denmark, the Rome Chamber Music Festival in Italy, and Moritzburg Music Festival in Germany. She has been privileged to perform with musicians Amy Schwartz Moretti, David Halen, Robert McDuffie, Daniel Phillips, Axel Strauss, Eric Nowlin, Marc Coppey, Kurt Muroki, Huw Watkins, Pedja Muzijevic, Steven Dann, Ernst Kovacic, Anssi Karttunen, Yury Revich, Stéphane Tétreault, and Johannes Moser.
In 2006 at the age of 15 she was the youngest member of the National Youth Orchestra of Canada and since then she has had the opportunity to perform under the baton of notable conductors including Alan Gilbert, Robert Spano, Hannu Lintu, Ward Stare, Naoto Otomo, Andrés Cárdenes, Eric Jacobson, Edward Gardner, Janos Sandor, Matthias Pintscher, Alexis Hauser, Pablo Heras-Casado, Kent Nagano and Valery Gergiev. A recognized leader, Elizabeth has enjoyed the role of concertmaster with the McDuffie Center String Ensemble, the McGill Symphony Orchestra, and the McGill Contemporary Music Ensemble. She currently performs regularly with the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra and is a substitute violinist with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra.
In 2015, Elizabeth was the winner of the Canadian Music Competition (19-30 years strings category) and the Jeunesses Musicales du Canada's Peter Mendell Award. She won first prize in the Prix d'Europe competition strings category in 2016, as well as third prize in the overall competition, and the Guy Soucie prize for her interpretation of a Québécois work. The same year, Elizabeth won the McGill Chamber Music Competition with Trio Armonioso and they performed at the Salzburg Mozarteum. In 2017 she was a recipient of the Sylva Gelber Music Foundation award, and in 2018 she was a finalist in the Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition. Most recently she was named one of CBC's "30 hot Canadian classical musicians under 30".
Elizabeth graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from the Robert McDuffie Center for Strings at Mercer University in Georgia, USA. She also holds a Master of Music in Violin Performance and recently completed her Doctor of Music in Performance Studies at McGill University's Schulich School of Music where she studied with Axel Strauss. Her doctoral dissertation "An Authenticity Puzzle: The versatility of arrangements and their role in today's musical landscape" explored the evolution of the arrangement from the 18th to 21st century, including issues of authenticity and stigma, and their relevance and importance today. Through analyzing arrangements created for collectif9 and Trio Émerillon she examines the arranging process and the potential for finding solutions that balance what have historically been two mutually exclusive concepts: creative freedom in altering a work, and perfect authenticity.
