Q: Show $\mathcal{A}$ is $\sigma$-algebra for $X$ if and only if a statement over increasing sequence holds . Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an algebra for $X \neq \emptyset$. Show $\mathcal{A}$ is $\sigma$-algebra for $X$ if and only if the following statement holds:
$E_{i} \in \mathcal{A}$ and $E_{i} \subset E_{i+1}$ with $i \in \mathbb{N}$, then $\bigcup_{i=1}^{\infty} E_{i} \in \mathcal{A}$.
I was trying to prove this as follows:
$\Rightarrow$ If $\mathcal{A}$ is $\sigma$ algebra, then  by definition of $\sigma$ algebra we have that for any sequence $\lbrace  E_{i}\rbrace_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$ where $E_{i} \in \mathcal{A}$ for every $i \in \mathbb{N}$, then $\bigcup_{i=1}^{\infty} E_{i} \in  \mathcal{A}$ particulary if the sequence is increasing as the statement holds. So we are done.
$\Leftarrow$ Having the statement as hypothesis I want to prove that $\mathcal{A}$ is a $\sigma$ algebra. As $\mathcal{A}$ is an algebra for $X$ we already have that $X \in \mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{A}$ is closed under compliments. So, I only need to prove  $\lbrace  E_{i}\rbrace_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$ where $E_{i} \in \mathcal{A}$ is closed under enumerable union.
Case 1-  If the sequence is increasing then $\lbrace  E_{i}\rbrace_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$ where $E_{i} \in \mathcal{A}$ is closed under enumerable union as we are supposing the statement.
Case 2.- If the sequence is increasing then $\lbrace  E_{i}\rbrace_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$ where $E_{i} \in \mathcal{A}$ is decreasing.
Case 3.- If the sequence is is such $\lbrace  E_{i}\rbrace_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$ where $E_{i} \in \mathcal{A}$ is such is neither increasing or decreasing.
If my idea of proving this by cases how can I end up this proof as Im pretty up out of ideas to prove case 2 and case 3.
Other ways to prove this are welcome. Thanks

A: If $E_n, n \in \omega$ is any sequence in the algebra $\mathcal{A}$, define $$E'_n = \bigcup_{i \le n} E_i \in \mathcal{A}$$
as algebras are closed under finite unions. Also the sequence $E'_n$ is increasing in $n$ by definition, and it's easy to check that
$$\bigcup_n E_n = \bigcup_n E'_n \in \mathcal{A}$$
the last holding by the assumption on the increasing sequences of sets.  No need for case distinctions.

Comatose victim of rock attack, 4, ordered out of rehab
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The family of 4-year-old Adele Biton, who remains in a coma one year after a Palestinian rock attack, has been told the girl must leave her Raanana rehabilitation center.
A lawyer's letter on behalf of the Loewenstein Hospital Rehabilitation Center delivered on Tuesday gave the family 24 hours to leave with their daughter.
Pleas from the girl's mother, Adva Biton, to Israel's health and economy ministers, Yael German and Naftali Bennett, requesting more time from the center were not successful.
Adva Biton said the family, who lives in the West Bank Jewish settlement of Yakir, has not spoken personally with hospital personnel and thus was unprepared for Adele's release.
"We are not here because she is sick, but rather because Adele was injured in a terror attack because she's Jewish," Biton said, according to the Times of Israel. "The State of Israel owes us the time and assistance she requires."
The hospital told the Times of Israel that it had given the family a month's notice and that the girl's treatment had concluded with no signs of improvement.
Adele has remained unconscious since the March 14, 2013 attack, when a car driven by Adva Biton carrying her three young daughters near the West Bank settlement of Ariel swerved after being hit by rocks thrown by two Palestinian teens and struck a truck.
"Ariel Sharon lay in Tel Hashomer [hospital] for eight years, in a coma and on a respirator, with no improvement in his condition, and I paid for it," Adva Biton said. "[Here is] a 4-year-old girl who is showing signs of life — give her a five-month grace period."

Q: $O(1)$ algorithm for coin change w/out nickels For the coin changing problem in the case without nickels (only quarters, dimes, and pennies available), assuming you use quarters until $x < 50$  since it's better to use quarters for $x \geq 50$; $x$ is the change) what would be an $O(1)$ algorithm that, given an input $n$, returns the number of quarters, dimes, and pennies that give the correct change with a minimum amount of coins??

A: Depending on your model of computation, you might not even be able to read the input in time $O(1)$.  But assuming all the standard arithmetic operations can be done in unit time, which seems to be the case here, the number of quarters (call it $q$) is
either $\lfloor n/25 \rfloor$ or $\lfloor n/25 \rfloor + 1$.  You then have
$n_1 = n - 25 q$ cents to make up with dimes and pennies, and you use
$\lfloor n_1/10 \rfloor $ dimes ...

A: The following is pseudocode that does what you ask:

getCoins(remainder){
    if(remainder >= 30){
        // 30 <= remainder < 36 || 40 <= remainder < 46
        if(remainder % dime < 6){
            coins += remainder/dime
            coins += remainder % dime
        // 36 <= remainder < 39 || 46 <= remainder < 49
        } else {//remainder % dime >=6
            coins += remainder/quarter
            coins += remainder % quarter
        }
        return coins
    // 25 <= remainder < 29
    } else if(remainder >= 25){
        coins += remainder/quarter
        coins += remainder % quarter
        return coins
    // remainder < 25
    } else {
        coins += remainder/dime
        coins += remainder
        return coins
    }

}
/* This is the function that, given an amount, will return the minimum number of coins that can change the amount into quarters, dimes and pennies.

change(amount) {
quarter = 25
dime = 10
pennie = 1
coins = 0
/*First we check if the starting amount is greater than 50*/
if(amount >=50){
    //If amount=a*50+b, "multiple_of_50" will be a*50 //always.
    multiple_of_50 = amount-amount%50
    //And here we get b into the variable "remainder"
    //for later use
    remainder = amount % 50
    //Here we add the number of quarters in a*50 to coins.
    coins += multiple_of_50/quarter;
    /*
    Now, because of what we did above, remainder is less than 50 always.
    */
    coins += getCoins(remainder)
} else {//amount < 50
    coins += getCoins(amount)
}
return coins

The gunboat Essex reconnoitered us this morning without coming within range and immediately returned. Reliable information from Baton Rouge puts the strength of the enemy at that place at eighteen regiments of infantry, with about 300 cavalry, in all estimated at about 12,000 men, under the command of Brigadier General C. Grover. The troops are all new levies, except about three regiments, and the regiments are well filled up. The gunboats and transports have all returned to New Orleans, except a sloopt of war and the Essex. About 200 infantry and 100 cavalry advanced about 12 miles on the Clinton road this morning and had a skirmish with my cavalry, in which the enemy's cavalry were driven back on their infantry with a few killed and a few wounded.
I would respectfully urge that more heavy guns be sent here as soon as possible, and a larger supply of ammunition is urgently needed for all the river guns.

Actions that people take not only affect them but also affect the people closest to them. In The Scarlet Letter Pearl and Hester, Chillingworth and Dimmesdale are all affect by the sin of adultery committed by Hester. This sin has a different amount of impact emotional, physical, and mental impact on each character.
678 words - 3 pages always feeling remorse for them as well, because he feels that they are just. Towards the end of the novel, Dimmsdale joins both Hester and Pearl on the scaffold to be shamed in public together, after he realizes that he must move on from his sin, just as Hester did, and learn to grow from it. These were the effects of Dimmdale's sin. These are the three main characters through out the novel "The Scarlet Letter" who are most affected by sin: Hester Prynne, Chillingworth, and Dimmsdale. Each of their live sis altered during the plot due to their sin.

Digital Design Without Inclusive Accessibility Is Blind
Posted by David Best on 9 November 2017 - 12:43pm
posted in: Technology
Going Digital
I have just returned from the three day inaugural FWD50 Canada's Digital Government conference, and would like to share my experience with you. I was invited to speak at the FWD50 Conference, Which was held last week in Ottawa, on the growing digital communications gaps for blind Canadians. Earlier this year the Treasury Board of Canada launched the Canadian Digital Services (CDS) without any apparent user engagement strategy that included blind Canadians, which I believe should be a major concern. We need to be participants in the design and development of the CDS, and not just consumers of the end product.
The FWD50 was a government technology event, bringing together citizens, the public service, elected officials, technologists, and innovative thinkers from around the world, to talk about digital transformation. There is tremendous potential to dramatically improve the lives of everyone, increasing engagement and dialogue while streamlining bureaucracy, but only if there is an inclusive dialog. The FWD50 event offered keynote speakers, workshops, panel discussions, debates, and plenary sessions on government technology innovation. I would like to thank the FWD50 conference organizers for their responsiveness in supporting blind participants, and for giving us a voice at this important mainstream event.
Session Topic
Democratic governments live in the tension between two often competing ideas: The will of the popular vote, and the constitutional rights of the individual. For digital government to work, it must not just be for the masses, but for everyone. While technology holds great potential to streamline government processes, it also runs the risk of widening an already significant digital divide by ignoring those who need it most. What does accessibility means for a connected citizenry, and why digital government for everyone isn't just a constitutional right; it's the right way to build sustainable platforms. From my perspective, there were three main themes throughout this event, that I would like to share.
1. Open Collaboration
Many of the speakers talked about the importants for an open collaboration in the Canadian digital transformation process. Today, access to online information and services is a critical requirement for successful inclusion in society. But many digital resources are still not accessible to people living with vision loss. The FWD50 event was a great opportunity for networking, and meaningful conversations; But does Open Collaboration mean the same thing as Inclusive Collaboration? In open collaboration anyone can contribute and anyone can freely partake in the sharing and interacting of the group activities, but only if the mode of communications and the format of interaction processes are accessible to all. Does AEBC have a role in the design and development of the Canadian Digital Services, and what are the open access barriers preventing Canadians with vision loss from full participation in the CDS engagement process?
2. Enabling Productivity
Another theme common to most speakers was the idea of creating accessible and flexible workplaces. Emerging technologies, such as desktop virtualization and cloud software, enable Canadians to work remotely in secure and accessible ways. many Canadians are choosing remote work to avoid traffic, reduce travel expenses, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and to increase productivity; But is this an option for Canadians living with vision loss? With collaboration taking place within the social media framework and withengagement software tools that are inaccessible to blind users, the productivity challenges are overwhelming. Accessibility is a measurement of productivity not disability, and the Canadian Digital Service strategy must become more inclusive with productivity techniques.
The Code for Canada group, as a government partner, provides digital talent for the design and development of government digital services, but has no inclusive accessibility strategy. That is, the engagement processes, and the Fellowship work program, are not compliant with accepted accessibility standards. Should AEBC partner with the Canadian Digital Service to drive productivity changes? Is inclusive employment as important as the delivery of accessible digital services?
3. Positive Action
The Government of Canada, across all levels of operations, must adjust more quickly to rapid digital communication developments and the accessibility needs in our society. Several speakers identified the government need to take innovative approaches to keep up with new procurement needs and enhance collaboration with an increasing number of partners. Alex Benay, the Government of Canada's Chief Information Officer, stated that "A fundamental change is required in our public service to keep pace with this new world. We must adjust to meet both traditional needs and new realities in modernizing the public service technology landscape for the benefit of all Canadian citizens." To this end, the Canadian Digital Service has developed a set of principles to guide digital development in the Government of Canada. These principles, based on international best practices and consultation feedback, will shape how the government manages information, technology innovation, and provide digital services. So, in the spirit of collaboration, we need to review The Digital principles and advise the Treasury Board of Canada Chief Information Officer on AEBC digital accessibility expectations.
It is imperative, due to the digital divide experienced by persons with disabilities, that Canada's new Digital Economy Strategy is inclusive. A successful digital strategy for Canada would be one that includes a mechanism that ensures that investments in digital innovations are designed to be inclusive for all Canadians. The Digital Advisory Board is a new space for government to interact with experts in the public and private sector, to seek strategic and informal advice on digital government transformation. To learn more about who represents blind Canadians on the Digital Advisory Board, email the Open Government team at open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca.
The Government of Canada Information Technology Strategic Plan 2016-2020 is intended to guide federal organizations and the Information Technology community on IT priority setting and decision-making. The Government of Canada's Information Technology Strategic Plan sets out the four-year strategic direction for Information Technology (IT) in the federal government. In responding to government priorities and current challenges, the plan charts the path forward from an Information Technology perspective. Positioning the government to manage and use Information Technology as a strategic asset, in innovative ways, to deliver better programs and services and ultimately value to Canadians. However, the accessibility challenges, and the priority given to accessibility innovation is not defined in this strategic plan. It simply states, "Tools that respect government requirements such as accessibility, privacy, security, information management and official languages will be used to promote digital collaboration." The Appendix B: Key Performance Indicators, Appendix C: Government of Canada Modernization Priorities 2016-19, and Appendix D: Roles and Responsibilities, makes no reference to accessibility measurements, priorities, or responsibilities. With no clearly defined inclusive accessibility strategy, blind Canadians have been marginalized in the design and development of the Canadian Digital Service plan. Should this be a concern for AEBC members? Who represents and speaks for blind Canadians in the CDS transformation process?
Harnessing The Power Of Collaboration
"None of us is as strong as all of us"
There were a lot of exciting conversations at the FWD50 conference about security, privacy, accessibility, open information requirements, and artificial intelligence. However, it was disturbing that the focus of the accessibility conversation was primarily onaccommodating disabilities rather than inclusion strategies of enablement. Canadians demand a digital experience that is optimized, integrated and diversely client-centric. Employees in a modern workplace need digital tools that promote collaboration, information sharing and increased productivity. Should we expect anything less? The Government of Canada strives to be an innovative organization that provides its employees with modern technology that supports information sharing, collaboration, and that will attract, retain and encourage public servants to work smarter, be innovative, greener and healthier so that they may better serve Canadians.
there is a digital divide that is marginalizing the disability community from the economic prosperity in Canada. It is estimated that people with disabilities in Canada are about 30% less likely to have basic computer skills, as compared to a person without a disability; And it is estimated that more than 80 percent of blind Canadian adults are unemployed. AEBC has a huge challenge and a tremendous opportunity to take the leadership in shaping positive actions for the Canadian Digital Service strategic plan. Positive action is a range of measures taken to encourage and train people from under-represented groups to help them overcome disadvantages in competing with other applicants. there is a large "digital divide, and we need a positive action plan to build digital skills through colaboration. The FWD50 conference organizers have opened a door for greater advocacy and partnership colaboration in building a smarter and more accessible Canada. What are your thoughts on moving forward with positive actions? Please post your comments or send me an email at bestaccessibility@davidbest.ca.

Q: How do I only change end date in v-date-picker range I want to use v-date-picker to make a date range, Now when I first click a date, it is start Date, second click is end date. but I don't want to change start date, only change end date.
<v-date-picker v-model="timeRange" range no-title scrollable>
     <v-spacer></v-spacer>
     <v-btn text color="primary" @click="menu = false">
      Cancel
      </v-btn>
      <v-btn text color="primary" @click="$refs.menu.save(timeRange)">
      OK
       </v-btn>
</v-date-picker>

data(){
timeRange:["2022-04-10","2022-04-29"]
}

I don't want change "2022-04-10", just change "2022-04-29",
How can I do?

A: What I came up with is a bit hacky but it seems to work:
First disallow the selection of any date earlier than your start date with the allowed-dates prop:
<v-date-picker
  v-model="timeRange"
  range
  no-title
  scrollable
  :allowed-dates="(d) => new Date(d) >= new Date(timeRange[0])"
>

Then add a watcher for changes on your timeRange variable:
watch: {
  timeRange(newValue, oldValue) {
    if (newValue.length == 1) {
      this.timeRange = [oldValue[0], newValue[0]]
    }
  },
},

This code checks if the length of the new value is 1, which indicates that a start date has been chosen. We then construct a new array with the orignal start date and the clicked value as the new end date. That way the start date is fixed and cannot be changed.

Chamber of Deputies Heeds Electoral Court, Delays INE Election
Posted on January 4, 2023 January 5, 2023 by Kelin DillonIn Mexico, Politics
President of the Mexican Chamber of Deputies' Political Coordination Board, Ignacio Mier. Photo: Mary Carmen Glez
By KELIN DILLON
In a decision made on Sunday, Jan. 1, the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo) of Mexico's Chamber of Deputies unanimously agreed to delay the selection of four new directors to the country's autonomous National Electoral Institute (INE) until it can officially modify its search criteria when the Chamber of Deputies' regular session resumes in February, heeding the orders of Mexico's highest electoral court, the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary (TEPJF).
The TEPJF initially ordered the Chamber of Deputies to alter its appointment process of the INE officials in question back on Dec. 24, when it requested that the lower legislative house modify its search criteria for the electoral personnel to include gender-equity provisions and make clear distinctions between applications for the various vacant positions, as well as guarantee the autonomy of the Technical Evaluation Committee throughout the appointment process.
According to Jucopo president and the National Regeneration Movement's (Morena) parliamentary coordinator Ignacio Mier, the INE electoral process will not be resolved until on or after Feb. 1 – meaning that aspiring candidates will no longer be allowed to register applications for the vacant positions on Jan. 9 as initially scheduled.
"It will be the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies that determines the terms of the call once the regular session begins. All the stages considered are suspended, both in the summons for applications and the integration process of the Technical Evaluation Committee," said Mier at the time. "The procedure is totally suspended until the plenary session pronounces itself."
"As the lawyers say, subjudice, it remains in abeyance," added Mier, noting that the lower legislative house would have 58 days from the start of its regular session to complete the appointment process, a process that takes an average of between 42 and 46 days.
However, despite the Chamber of Deputies' compliance with the TEPJF order, Mier went on to criticize the electoral court for purportedly overstepping its legal boundaries with its request.
"The Electoral Court carried out actions that constitute a systematic violation of the Mexican Constitution and a violation and interference with legislative power," concluded Mier. "For this reason we are going to initiate the legal path that allows us to set a limit to the TEPJF."

The Guatemala highlands is an area of contrasting climate, topography, and agricultural potential. High basins and fertile valleys are situated among a series of mountain ranges from the Pacific Coastal volcanic chains to the massive uplifts to the northeast, offering several advantages that facilitate human settlement. The Central Highlands are home to important natural routes, including the Motagua River, which drains into the Atlantic Ocean and separates a series of these mountain ranges crisscrossing Guatemala from east to west. To the north, tributaries of the Chixoy River irrigate the Central Highlands. This article focuses on the Central Highlands, and in particular on the primary site of Kaminaljuyú, which can be used as a proxy to understand better developments throughout the region.

The Kiss From A Rose Ketubah $290.00
The Kiss From a Rose Ketubah combines the vibrancy of art inspired by Romero Britto, with the theme of passionate love between two women. The wild colors and dozens of patterns in the background represent a life of many changes and passion, while the foreground of two women show love in its most direct form.
The Kiss From a Rose is perfect for the lesbian couple whose passion is bright and intense, and who want a Ketubah that captures not only their love but the different sides, colors and patterns of their love for each other.
When it comes to an Interfaith Ketubah, you want to have the perfect design that beautifully blends not just your beliefs and interests, but your unique love and bond as well. This design will reflect your unique style, the dynamics and beauty of both of your beliefs, and the depth of your love!
The Lovers' Sunset Ketubah $290.00
Dusk is, for our artists, the most powerful time of day: when the bright lights of the day fade into the blackness of the night, when the naive sunshine turns into the cynical night. It is the moment when two worlds meet, when light and dark fight for dominance — two worlds merging, with all of its good and bad, in the same way that two worlds, those of each partner, meet when two people commit their lives to each other.
The Lovers' Sunset is perfect for the same sex couple who wants to acknowledge their changing and merging worlds together, with all of the good and bad that it entails — in a direct and honest way. The Lovers' Sunset is for the calm couple that is preparing for the next stage of their lives together.
Notes: The proportion of this Ketubah is different from others on our site. The Medium or Classic ketubah size, for this one, is 12×24 (instead of the usual 16×24); and the Large size for this ketubah is 15×30 (instead of 20×30).
The Pride and Groom Ketubah $290.00
The couple's loving embrace is the classic picture of the excitement and bliss on their wedding day. The mosaic backdrop behind the couple and the floral framing exudes the brightness of a wedding day, and every day after. With a Britto influence combined with a modern and fresh creates the perfect Ketubah for any gay couple!
The Pride and Groom Ketubah blooms with nothing but happiness, love and color. The striking patterns and tons of color not only emphasizes their love and passion, but also the pride and loyalty they have in one another — a beautiful picture of a couple head over heels in love.
The You and I Ketubah $290.00
You & I Ketubah is a modern take on the ancient Jewish concept of "romance." Romance, in all ancient traditions, mixed and matched boundaries in the most unexpected ways. You and I Ketubah takes these ancient boundaries and reshapes them in a way to combine the subtle and obvious sides of the boundaries: the outlines of two women, the strong contrast between the silhouette and the pure, naïve white background. This work takes the cliché of "love knowing no boundaries" and flips it on its head by simultaneously breaking boundaries while using a silhouette and contrast precisely to emphasize the boundaries.
You & I is perfect for the lesbian couple that has a cheesy side to them, as our team of artists do (we are proud of our cheesiness!), that wants to use the simple and even naive style to capture the depth and subtlety of their love and passion together.

Peru's Boluarte Appeals for Calm as Lima Braces for More Unrest
PERU PROTEST MARCH IN LIMA
With Peru's capital bracing for two days of anti-government protests starting Wednesday, President Dina Boluarte called on the demonstrators flooding into Lima to gather "peacefully and calmly" – even as they demand her resignation.
The South American country has been rocked by over five weeks of deadly protests since the ouster and arrest of her predecessor Pedro Castillo in early December.
Thousands of protesters from rural areas are descending on Lima this week to keep up pressure against the government, often defying a state of emergency declared to try to maintain order.
With tensions mounting, many poor and Indigenous demonstrators were already making their presence felt Tuesday in the capital, where police used smoke canisters against marchers who gathered ahead of the larger mobilizations.
"We know they want to take Lima, given everything that is coming out on social media, on the 18th and 19th (Wednesday and Thursday)," Boluarte said in a speech at Peru's Constitutional Court.
"I call on them to take Lima, yes, but peacefully and calmly. I am waiting for them in the seat of government to discuss their social agendas."
Convoys of demonstrators were still on their way.
Hundreds of members of the Indigenous Aymara community boarded buses Tuesday from Ilave city in the Puno region, on the border with Bolivia.
"I am excited to travel to Lima because the fight continues, all the Aymara blood brothers are traveling to the fight," Julio Cesar Ramos told AFP before boarding one of the buses.
"It hurts me to see my country like this, that is why Aymara and Quechua brothers, we are united as one," said Roger Mamani, 28.
At least 42 people have died in clashes between protesters and security forces, largely in the country's south and east, according to Peru's human rights ombudsman.
Various groups are demanding Boluarte's resignation, the dissolution of parliament and immediate elections.
But the president warned that "the rule of law cannot be hostage to the whims" of a single group of people.
Rival marches
Demonstrators from all over Peru have arranged to meet in the capital to protest together, but despite various announcements, it is still difficult to determine how many people will arrive in Lima.
By Tuesday afternoon, dozens of people were already marching through Lima's streets to Plaza San Martin, the historic epicenter of demonstrations.
"All of us who have come from the city of Cusco are joining the national strike. Dina Boluarte should leave because she does not represent the coast, the mountains, or the jungle," said teacher Edith Calixto, 45 from the Andes.
Residents of the northern city of Cajamarca carried signs that read "National Insurgency." Some held "rondero" whips of the type used by local patrols in rural areas.
"Dina, please, resign so that this town calms down because the town is not going to give up," Antonia Riveros, a 55-year-old native of Huancavelica, said.
Meanwhile a "march for peace" was also underway in Lima, with dozens of members from community groups and political parties wearing white T-shirts in rejection of the protests against Boluarte.
"We do not want violence in our country. I know that now there is a group that disagrees with the current government, but nevertheless it is not the way to carry out protest," 56-year-old merchant Cesar Noa told AFP.
Protesters have maintained almost 100 road blocks in several parts of Peru.
Security forces cleared one road block on the Panamericana Norte highway early Tuesday morning. Boluarte said others would be dismantled soon.
President Castillo was removed from office and arrested on December 7, after attempting to dissolve the country's legislature and rule by decree, amid multiple corruption investigations.
Boluarte, who was Castillo's vice president, succeeded him. But despite Boluarte belonging to the same left-wing party, Castillo supporters have rejected her, even accusing her of being a "traitor."

End the Lockdown: Coronavirus Fatality Rate 0.26%, 8-15x Lower than Estimates
Data from the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that the novel coronavirus's true fatality rate in the United States, which takes into account mild and asymptomatic cases, stands at 0.26 percent, about eight to 15 times lower than earlier mortality rate estimates of between two and four percent, which prompted the lockdowns.
The case (or crude) fatality rate only takes into account confirmed coronavirus cases, excluding people with mild or no symptoms that do not require medical attention.
Meanwhile, the infection fatality rate (IFR) accounts for the estimated number of mild and asymptomatic cases. It tends to be lower than the crude fatality ratio because it shows that more people have contracted the virus without dying.
The 0.26 percent mortality rate (about three in 1,000) linked to COVID-19, the disease produced by the coronavirus, is lower than the death rate predicted by the infamous Imperial College report and other assessments that prompted the lockdowns across America.
Using data contained in a CDC report, last reviewed on May 20, Daniel Horowitz, a senior editor at Conservative Review (CR), noted in an editorial this month:
For the first time, the CDC has attempted to offer a real estimate of the overall death rate for COVID-19, and under its most likely scenario, the number is 0.26%. Officials estimate a 0.4% fatality rate among those who are symptomatic and project a 35% rate of asymptomatic cases among those infected, which drops the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) to just 0.26% — almost exactly where Stanford researchers pegged it a month ago.
Ultimately, we might find out that the IFR is even lower because numerous studies and hard counts of confined populations have shown a much higher percentage of asymptomatic cases. Simply adjusting for a 50% asymptomatic rate would drop their fatality rate to 0.2% – exactly the rate of fatality Dr. John Ionnidis of Stanford University projected.
The CDC data is consistent with other assessments. "By now, multiple studies from Europe, Japan, and the U.S. all suggest that the overall fatality rate is far lower than early estimates, perhaps below 0.1 to 0.4%, i.e., ten to forty times lower than estimates that motivated extreme isolation," Dr. Scott Atlas, a senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, told lawmakers in early May, referring to the infection rate.
By taking into account mild and asymptomatic cases that were not clinically confirmed, some health analysts have determined that COVID-19 is more widespread but less deadly than early estimates suggested.
Health experts have noted that the faster the disease spreads and hits its peak, the fewer people will die.
In early March, the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), a United Nations component, explained the difference between the crude and infection mortality rates, noting:
Mortality for COVID-19 appears higher than for influenza, especially seasonal influenza. While the true mortality of COVID-19 will take some time to fully understand, the data we have so far indicate that the crude mortality ratio (the number of reported deaths divided by the reported cases) is between 3-4%, the infection mortality rate (the number of reported deaths divided by the number of infections) will be lower. For seasonal influenza, mortality is usually well below 0.1%.
In April, the CDC reportedly placed the crude fatality case at around four percent.

In October 2016, the Royal Victoria Hall was given recognition for its role as a "heritage asset" for Southborough. That followed nomination by 15 residents and an assessment by the Tunbridge Wells Borough Conservation Officer, Mark Stephenson.
Being on the list of "Local Heritage Assets" will allow the planners to weigh up the gains from a new development against the loss of heritage if the Hall is to be demolished. It means public comments on the heritage value can be taken into account. I (Martin Webber) submitted to the planning website two extracts from Southborough's history.
The same extracts are copied here so they are a more easily accessible resource. One of my favourite pictures from early 1900s is below (the same photo is given two different tints).
They are sections of reports from the Courier newspaper in 1899 and 1900 that show the depth of local pride in the town itself at that time and the solid nature of the building.
(1) From 1st November, 1899, ahead of the Hall's opening:
THE SOUTHBOROUGH VICTORIA HALL
The Victoria Hall, by which the town of Southborough, thanks to Sir David Salomons' characteristic generosity, will possess a most useful memorial of her Majesty's Jubilee, is now approaching completion. The carpenters and painters are busily engaged in the final touches, and the District Council (Southborough Urban District Council) and the Tradesmen's Association are discussing what will be the most befitting manner of declaring open, for public use, Sir David's most liberal gift…..
It had often been described as a great want at Southborough that the town should have a building for public and social purposes, available for the unrestricted use of all classes of inhabitants. What the residents did not see their way to accomplish, the generosity of Sir David in the Jubilee year rendered an easy matter. The original offer of Sir David underwent several modifications to meet various circumstances, and the matter ultimately resolved itself into the District Council taking over the scheme, which will therefore be controlled by the inhabitants themselves through their duly elected representatives.
While we in Tunbridge Wells are wondering what has become of our Jubilee memorial, which has been lost to the public ken for some time, we must heartily congratulate Southborough on the acquisition of a public hall, which in many respects is far ahead of any hall of the kind possessed by either Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells, so that the half-way town may be regarded as well provided for in this respect for some generations to come.
The hall, the cost of which Sir David has practically defrayed, adjoins the District Council offices and for the exterior no pretentious architecture has been attempted which would be out of keeping with the existing Council offices. In every other respect, however, the building left nothing to be desired.
The workmanship throughout is of a most substantial character and a credit to the local labour, which it was the wish of Sir David should be employed. The great feature of the building is the stage, which has led to it being popularly known as the Southborough Theatre, although, of course, the building is a hall designed for all public purposes.
While the seating accommodation which is over 600 exceeds that of the Tonbridge Public Hall, and is only slightly under that of the Tunbridge Wells Great Hall, the stage and its appointment are far in front of anything possessed by either of these towns. The seating including the gallery is, of course, quite commensurate with the population of Southborough, while as regards ventilation, heating and internal arrangement generally, the building is a model of the very latest improvement in these matters.
(Photo above from 1910)
The designs were, in fact, modelled after Sir David's own famous scientific theatre at Broomhill, which, on a smaller scale, it closely resembles. The plans were really Sir David's own, and this is equivalent to saying that nothing has been left undone to provide Southborough with an up-to-date building.
The stage, instead of being the ordinary platform of small provincial towns, is equal to the majority of London theatres, having a permanent proscenium with fire-proof, and drop curtains, footlights and top-lights, special provision for arrangement of scenery for theatrical performances, a sunk orchestra, and ample accommodation in dressing rooms. The body of the hall is available for any purpose from a banquet to a dance, not to mention the more prosaic public meeting, while in the gallery is a platform and facilities for lantern exhibitions to be projected onto the stage. The basement provides admirable kitchen accommodation…
Work was commenced in December of last year. Messrs Strange being the contractors… The entrance is to be completed by a covered way, which will extend nearly to the road. Inside are two inner lobbies … and these have a dado of green and blue tiles, which looks very effective…The hall is entered through a massive six foot double doorway, and all the wood-work, it may here be said, is of massive pitch-pine panelling.
There are also three sets of exits in the Hall, which is lighted by side windows, and all doors are six feet across and open outwards. The Hall, which has noiseless block paving, will seat 500 and another 100 in the gallery, and its dimensions are 150 feet by 40, exclusive of the gallery which is 55 feet by 40, and the stage, which is no less than 40 feet by 25, and is the largest stage area in any building for miles around.
Round the Hall is a solid pitch-pine dado, and above this decorative colouring in terra cotta. The ceiling is of pitch-pine panelling with a large sunlight in the centre, and surrounded by a cone or frieze in blue. At the stage the provision for a sunk orchestra can be boarded over to give the extra floor space when required, and over the well-modelled permanent proscenium is to be the Royal Arms, to use which the special permission of Her Majesty was sought, and graciously given.
The stage has the great technical advantage of being raked, and there are all the necessary accessories for dealing with scenery, which can be brought into the building by 10 feet doors at the back of the stage…and at the rear of the stage is a green room with dressing rooms on either side for ladies and gentlemen respectively.
The stage arrangements are so complete that until Tunbridge Wells has its new Opera House built we shall really be inferior to Southborough in accommodation for the histrionic companies which favour us with visits. But as the Victoria Hall is for a variety of purposes, the basement has been fitted with every possible convenience for catering and a kitchen of 40 feet by 40 is provided, which will, we imagine, be the envy of local caterers, of whom we have heard cooking in the open-air with gasstoves on stormy nights.
The lighting is at present by gas, as Southborough does not yet enjoy the advantage of the electric light, which the Tunbridge Wells Council are now offering her, but the heating apparatus and the ventilation are as perfect as can be desired. Messrs Suggs, of London, were the contractors for the gas fittings, and Messrs Rental and Gibbs, of Liverpool, for the hot water apparatus.
(2) From 26th January 1900
SOUTHBOROUGH ROYAL VICTORIA HALL
COMMEMORATION OF ITS OPENING
To commemorate the opening of the New Royal Victoria Hall, at Southborough, a public subscription dinner was held in its precincts on Wednesday evening when there was a large company present.
All having partaken of the excellent spread placed before them, "The Queen" was proposed and loyally drunk.
Revd C. Darroch…. congratulated Southborough on the magnificent Hall, and hoped it would tend to promote good fellowship and usefulness amongst them for many generations (applause).
The Mayor on rising to propose the toast of "Sir D. L. Salomons and Success to the Royal Victoria Hall", was given an enthusiastic reception. He said that he considered it an honour that they should entrust the proposing of that toast to one outside Southborough, especially as it related to their best friend in Southborough (applause). Before he alluded further to him, they would know the reason he could not be there that night, for he had been struck down with sorrow in losing a daughter, and he (the mayor) was quite sure the sympathy of everyone was quite warm towards him and his family, and they all hoped he would recover that health and pleasant way that he had with him (here, here).
In Sir David, Southborough and the district had a great friend (applause).
The Chairman was given a hearty reception….
He (Mr Gallard) had as they all knew been a member of the Council for a great number of years and he would leave him to give them the historical part….
Mr Gallard said he was not aware when he came there that he was to give a historical lecture. He became a member of the Local Board in April 1875, and he had been so ever since (Applause)….
When he looked back to what Southborough was 30 years ago, he thought of the paving, which was simply made with local gravel. They had no proper system of drainage and no water supply. When he looked at what they had done, he considered that for so small a place as Southborough there were few to equal it (applause). He was proud to think they had done so much in a quarter of a century.
A responder to one of the toasts that night had referred to the taking over by Tunbridge Wells of Broomhill. He could assure them that if they attempted to do so they in Southborough would oppose it with tooth and nail. In conclusion he could only say that he hoped to do what he could for some years to come in the interest of the place. (applause)
Mr Cripps asked to be first allowed to say how very much they who came from the neighbouring towns felt the kindness and hospitality with which they had been treated on this the first public dinner held in their new Victoria Hall. Let him say also how much they congratulated them on the possession of so admirable a building, and a hall of so admirable and excellent acoustic properties.
The last toast of the evening was that of the Press, and the singing of the National Anthem brought a most enjoyable evening to a close.

PVAMU Picks Pugh As Head Women's Basketball Coach
Published: May 7, 2018
Sandy Pugh has been named the new head women's basketball coach at Prairie View A&M University.
Pugh spent the previous 18 seasons as head coach at Southern University (2000-18), leading the Jaguars to seven outright or shared Southwestern Athletic Conference regular season titles. She also led Southern to four SWAC Tournament titles, four NCAA Tournament berths, and four NIT appearances. Pugh is a four-time SWAC Coach of the Year, including this past season when she led the Jaguars to the SWAC Regular Season title. Pugh
She succeeds Ravon Justice who, after two years, left in April to become head basketball coach at Sam Houston State.
RELATED: HBCU Basketball Coaching Changes
Pugh led Southern to 15 seasons of .500 or better, including 13 winning seasons, five seasons of 20+ wins, and more than 300 victories during her tenure. In her second season as head coach, Pugh led Southern to a school record 26 wins and its first SWAC regular season and tournament titles and first NCAA Tournament appearance. The team was led by Jaclyn Winfield, who was drafted in the fourth round by the WNBA's Utah Starzz and is the only SWAC player to be drafted in league history.
The 2002 championship was the first of three occasions Pugh and the Jaguars won both the SWAC regular season and tournament titles and an NCAA Tournament berth in the same season (shared regular season title in 2006, outright title in 2010). SU also won the SWAC Tournament championship following the 2004 season.
"I want to thank Ashley Robinson for this incredible opportunity to be able to come to Prairie View A&M," Pugh said. "PV is at the forefront of everything in our conference. The growth has just been magnificent here at the University and in Athletics under Ashley's tutelage. What I see in the Athletic Department is just astounding, and for to have an opportunity to be a part of this growth and development and to come over to coach the women's basketball team is a blessing. I'm so looking forward to being here and being a part of the PV family. The family atmosphere here I've experienced has been overwhelming."
Pugh, who also served as interim Athletic Director at Southern from 2011-12, led Southern to NIT appearances in 2009, 2011, 2016, and 2018.
In addition to her NCAA and WNIT appearances while leading Southern, Pugh has previously been in the postseason three additional times as an assistant coach.

Q: XPages sessionScope variable and DateTime values I seem to be losing the value of sessionScope variables between XPages when I load DateTime values from a Notes document (not from the XPage). Here is what I do:
I have an EditBox where the contents are set to type Date only:
<xp:inputText value="#{document1.datum}" id="datum" defaultValue="#{javascript:@Now()}" required="true">
<xp:this.converter>
     <xp:convertDateTime type="date"></xp:convertDateTime>
</xp:this.converter>
<xp:dateTimeHelper></xp:dateTimeHelper>
</xp:inputText>

I then save this to a sessionScope variable :
sessionScope.put ("datum", getComponent("datum").getValue());

Then I change XPages by doing a:
var extCont = facesContext.getExternalContext();
extCont.redirect("xpNextPage.xsp")

I then do a sessionScope.get:
print (sessionScope.get ("datum"));

And the contents are fine.
if I do the same thing with a document that I have loaded:
var date:NotesDateTime = doc.getItemValueDateTimeArray("datum");
var start:NotesDateTime = doc.getItemValueDateTimeArray("von");
var dt:NotesDateTime = session.createDateTime (date [0].getDateOnly() + " " + start [0].getTimeOnly());
sessionScope.put ("datum", dt);

then switch to the next page and try and load it with:
print (sessionScope.get ("datum"));

I get a value null.
I have attached a screenshot of the problem (I printed other fields as well so you can see it is only the DateTime fields that are the problem). I do notice that the format of the DateTime value is different... could this be the problem?

A: NotesDataTime is not serializable, so you cannot store it in the memory. When you use getComponent("datum").getValue(), it returns you Java Date not NotesDataTime. Java date is serializable, so its working.
Try convert your NotesDataTime to Java Date.
dt.toJavaDate()

Q: How to do imbalanced classification in deep learning (tensorflow, RNN)? I am trying to do binary classification of News Articles (Sports/Non-Sports) using recurrent neural net in tensorflow. The training data is highly skewed [Sports:Non-Sports::1:9].
I am using cross-entropy as my cost function, which treats both classes equally.
What are the ways by which user can penalise one class? Or is there any other cost function suitable for this purpose?

A: Hugh is right, this is not a problem inherent to deep learning but is something that comes across multiple datasets and techniques to classify them. As mentioned in the links provided by Hugh there are myriads of techniques to deal with them.
"What are the ways by which user can penalize one class" - You can use cost sensitive training where basically you assign a higher cost if your classifier miss-classifies the minority class, Sports in your case.
You can also look into Boosting based techniques as they do a similar thing.
This paper compares various such techniques.

Toshibas new "Chairs in space" looks like Simon Faithfull's escape vehicles
By Dabitch on November 18, 2009 - 11:39
Toshiba have gone all out weird and send chairs to space in their new campaign to support Toshiba's SV REGZA LCD TV and Satellite T series laptops. When you can watch TV anywhere, where do you want your easy chair to be? Doing a ballon-boy? You got it.
Toshiba - "€˜Space Chair" - (2009) :60 (UK)
As many have nudged me, people think this looks a lot like they're quite inspired by Simon Faithfull's "Gravity sucks" exhibition. Lets compare shall we?
Simon Faithfull - Escape Vehicle number 6 - (2004) :60 (UK)
Now, On Toshiba's own website, as they have heard these questions, Toshiba responds:
Toshiba's new 'Space Chair' ad was inspired by a sub culture of scientists and artists who send objects to the edge of space using weather balloons. Grey London collaborated with a number of talented individuals, including British artist Simon Faithfull, to re-create the concept of launching a generic chair into space, and by using their own HD cameras, to demonstrate how Toshiba technology can take something ordinary and make it extraordinary.
So before you fetch your pitchforks and torches, Simon might have gotten paid for his collaboration. Lets hope so. (Or sharpen the pitchforks anyway, just for that "trying something that's never been done before" line in the "making of space chair" video)
Toshiba - The Making of Space Chair - (2009) 3:34 (UK)
Update - greenface made an interesting comment below
Simon Faithfull: "I was not "absolutely part of the team" as Matt McDowell has recently suggested - the first time I saw the Toshiba film myself was when people started sending me the YouTube link. I did help with the underlying themes and ideas behind the advert in that I had one meeting with Grey within which we discussed the possibility of re-staging my artwork 'Escape Vehicle no.6' during my recent exhibition at the British Film Institute. The idea was that this would be a large, live public event in the centre of London and later there would also be an edited version for TV functioning as an artwork/advert. This subsequently didn't work out and I can't really say any more for legal reasons."
- November 18, 2009 - 16:07
Why not credit the original artist if you're not adapting his work in anyway ? What did the creative team actually do on this one ? Watch the video ? Show it to the client ?
Oh, you built a balsa chair - right..
Robbotman
I second this question.
Perhaps it's all part of a master plan, nothing spreads an ad as quick as a little controversy like the classic: OMG! RIPOFF! ones. Remember Sony Play-doh Bunnies were hotly talked about as quite possibly ripping off artists Kozyndan - see their bunny wave (I love that one).
Since they didn't breathe a word of Simon's involvement in this ad in the first release it seems almost.. planned.
fairuse
[They] Didn't consult the 'psycho'-acoustic rule book. The longer cycle in the original audio is neutral while directing you to look, an artist indeed.
The newer one? Threw the audio out replacing it with a annoying buzz.
I prefer the audio in Simon's escape as well.
Via: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/29575/making-of-toshiba-space-chair
"Although elements of the stunt were original, the Space Chair is in fact virtually identical to a work by UK artist Simon Faithfull, as commissioned by the Arts Catalyst in 2004, called Escape Vehicle No.6 - a film which was recently shown at the BFI Southbank. Thankfully, the original artist was involved in the project second time around.
"Simon was absolutely part of the team. We were obviously inspired by what he had done", answered McDowell when questioned about the 2004 recording, but how does a company which prides itself on innovation align its slogan with a project that is clearly a near copy of something done 5 years ago?
"We weren't saying that the innovation was sending the balloon up. No one had done it in HD before and not as an advert before. We didn't use a music sound track or any celebrity voices. That's the innovation. The fact that we created it as an advert".
- December 4, 2009 - 00:04
Wow, the plot thickens.... Where did you get this quote from? The only other place I find it on the web is as a comment at The Inspiration Room (formerly known as Duncan's TV Ad Land)
Imanaddy
I googled that quote and got two hits, The Inspiration Room and Adland. Where else has this been said greenface? I believe that they ripped Simon off, I know advertising, that is the way it goes even though it might not have been intentional. It even sounds like they tried to get him involved but somewhere along the way that failed, which is a better effort than most agencies would do.
germacc
The audio on the Toshiba video is from a APRS packet beacon which i assume was attached to the balloon to track its position so i decoded the packets and this is what i got...

I don't know if Simon Faithfull knew about this one, but in 1960 the US Air Force beat him to it! Called "Project Man High" the USAF built a MANNED "escape vehicle no. 6" with a big weather balloon and open gondola with Joe Kuittinger riding in the chair in a space suit with parachute. He bailed out at 102,700 feet, approximately the altitude of either unmanned space chair. That video is also on YouTube along with both the others.
Given the time, the USAF was studying the effects of such altitude on the human body barely before the space program started. Definitely not motivated by art.
Joe Kittinger has titanium balls. I've watched this film so many times, and I still get that bad "aaah, I'm falling!" pinch in the middle of my gut for the entire five minutes. *vertigo*
Update to my last comment, Felix Baumgartner also has brass balls. Over and out.

Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken acquires Circle's OTC desk
Circle's months-long search for its hugely successful over-the-counter desk has finally come to an end as South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Kraken takes over the most extensive OTC desks in the crypto markets, Circle Trade.
The OTC desk was initially established to provide the much-needed liquidity for Circle's Bitcoin payment app. However, its presence grew multifold, given the massive demand in counterparties at the time. Soon, Circle Trade became one of the most profitable businesses in the cryptocurrency space.
However, the last few months have witnessed Circle, who is also among the earliest investors in the crypto market, displaying a notable shift in its strategical direction. In September, it put its research and development entity, Circle Research, on halt and ceased its digital currencies payments app, Circle Pay, to focus on its core products. Earlier in May, the Boston-based firm shed around ten percent (10%) of its workforce, quoting regulatory uncertainties.
Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken strikes another goal with Circle Trade
In a 17th December 2019 blog post, Kraken confirmed that it is taking over the once-mighty Circle Trade. Circle's co-founders Sean Neville and Jeremy Allaire also announced the news of the acquisition. In its statement, it says that Circle is proud to be associated with Jesse and his team at Kraken. We have known them for many years, and we are confident that Circle's hugely popular business and best-in-class liquidity services are in good and steady hands. We are thrilled to see how Kraken takes it forward, Circle announced.
Meanwhile, Kraken's head of OTC desk, Nelson Minier, will now be in charge of the Circle Trade division, which he plans to expand further by adding twenty more staff.
Besides Asian market, Kraken has successfully established itself as a name to reckon with in the US and European crypto markets.

The CHAPTER2 pattern symbolises "The Road Less Travelled". The story begins with the pattern that starts this design. 'The Raranga' on both ends symbolises that this ties into the land and that the land is woven into the fabric of the people.
RERE means "to flow" in Maori. RERE is a FULL-AERO frame designed to cheat the wind. With Michael's experience in designing a number of Aerodynamic Road and Time Trial/Triathlon rigs, the RERE is the culmination of knowledge and experience in this very specific genre of bikes. Drag (air resistance) is the one thing that all cyclist battle against and the RERE has been designed to slice through the air with Aerodynamic profiles applied to the all exposed surfaces and rigorously tested at Auckland University Wind Tunnel across a wide range of Yaw on both drive and non-drive sides.
The RERE has been designed with quality of ride in mind, and that means a well-balanced geometry, allowance for wider format tires and a carefully engineered Toray® carbon lay-up schedule throughout to deliver an engaging ride, letting you push beyond your limits and explore the road less travelled.

These lizards were said to warn of the presence of crocodiles, and became known in English as monitors.1 - Ehmann, Harald (1992). Encyclopedia of Australian animals: Reptiles. Angus and Robertson. 495 pp In Australia, they are typically called goannas.
Varanus finschi has been reported to occur in Australia, via a publication in German (my German's pretty rusty, so I haven't read it). As far as I can tell, the one specimen was collected a long time ago and the locality information was vague. Until further information becomes available, I'm assuming that the old specimen was mislabelled and I therefore don't recognise that this species occurs in Australia.

Darren Fletcher on the Incredible Experiences He Had With Brian Clough - Including Being Shoulder Tackled
By Robbie Copeland

Darren Fletcher On The Incredible Experiences He Had With Brian Clough | Voices of Football Bonus Ep | 90min Football
Brian Clough. Whether he was winning European Cups, claiming to be the 'top one' in the business of football management or getting into a scrap with someone or other, virtually everyone who has worked with, against, or even in close proximity to the legendary Nottingham Forest boss has a story to tell about him.
And the modern day voice of European football, Darren Fletcher, is no exception to that rule.
Clough led Forest to two European Cups and a First Division title among a host of major honours, and his career - one of the greatest the English game has ever seen - was nearing an end just as Fletcher was starting out his own.
There was more than enough time to fit in a few colourful memories, however, and speaking as part of 90min's 'Voices of Football' series, Fletcher recalls one of his first encounters with Clough's iron personality.
"Forest were going to play Plymouth in a cup tie, so my sports editor and myself drove all the way down to cover this game," Fletcher said.
"Clough came out about half past seven and sat at the side of the pitch, and he was happily signing programmes for the young supporters. It was a big deal for Plymouth, they didn't play teams like Forest too often.
Right ... back to sport. I grew up in Nottingham in the heyday of Brian Clough's Forest in the 1970s and 1980s. As a Southampton fan. So I never luxuriated in the glory of THIS ... football's greatest miracle.

"My boss said to me - obviously knowing what was going to happen - 'go on, take the recording device down and interview him. He likes you.'
"So off I go, he's sat in front of the big main stand which is pretty full. As I'm walking along, I can hear him say 'get away from me', but I'm thinking he must be talking to somebody else, because he'd told me previously to come and see him again.
"As I get nearer, I hear him say again 'I told you, get away from me.' Now I'm thinking he must mean me, but now you've got nowhere to go, you're in front of all these people and the stand has got your boss sat in it watching you, so you've got to make every effort.

"I end up getting really near to Clough, and he's stood up, walked away from the youngsters where he was signing autographs, pretended to trip over, and literally shoulder-charged me away. In front of all these people.
"I go back up to the commentary position, and my sports editor said to me 'let that be lesson number one. He's a very, very awkward man to deal with, forget what he says to you, he'll speak to you when he wants to, and when he doesn't, he won't.'"

Clough would step down from management in 1992, a departure that was attributed to ill-health, reports of a struggle with alcoholism and allegations of corruption. He remains to this day a fabled, legendary name in management, but the sour note on which his tenure ended meant that the media had little to no interest in working with him beyond the dugout.
That was until Fletcher's radio station - lowly Century City Radio - reached out.
"A couple of years passed [after retiring], maybe even longer than that, I started working with Garry Birtles, who had won European Cups with him at Forest. I remember saying to him at the time: 'we never hear from the gaffer.'
"Everybody called him the gaffer, whether you worked for him or not you called him the gaffer.

"We decided to have him in once a month to do a phone-in, where he would come into the studio and people would phone in to talk to Cloughy. He said brilliant, he'd love to.
"Every month he would come in, and then when we'd finished, he would stick around for an hour or so, just to reminisce and tell his stories. I sat there listening to what he was saying thinking I'd got the golden ticket.
"We got word that he fancied doing a bit more, so I said 'does he fancy doing a bit of co-commentary?' Yeah, he'd love to.
"Now, we're turning up at the occasional ground, myself and Garry, with Brian Clough as the co-commentator. To put this into perspective, we're not BT or Sky - we're not even 5Live or talkSPORT - we were Century Radio East Midlands. We're inconsequential on the scale of it.
"Most people when we asked for the press pass thought we were taking the mickey. They didn't believe he was coming, but we'd turn up at the ground with Cloughy in tow, and he'd do co-commentary.
"He was sharp as a razor. Within five minutes, he spotted an issue with the Forest team, and said if they fixed that, they'd be fine. They were a couple of goals down, but they eventually made the change he'd called for after five minutes, and at that point the game turned around, and they were the better team for the remainder.
"He saw it right away."
The sharpest thing about Clough was arguably his wit, however, as Fletcher remembers fondly.
"I remember one time he'd brought his grandson with him to sit in the commentary position, and he was chatting away. I remember saying to him 'Brian, I could just stop commentating and just sit and listen to you.
"Straight back he said 'Son, I think the audience would appreciate it.'"
