Media Recognition
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in making an impact with your investment. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Deetken Impact. The use of the Internet pages of the Deetken Impact is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Deetken Impact. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, Deetken Impact has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
The data protection declaration of the Deetken Impact is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
Deetken Impact
Suite 501 – 1755 W. Broadway,
V6J 4S5 Vancouver

Website: deetkenimpact.com
The Internet pages of the Deetken Impact use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Through the use of cookies, the Deetken Impact can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
The website of the Deetken Impact collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the Deetken Impact does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Deetken Impact analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
On the website of the Deetken Impact, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
The Deetken Impact informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter at any time via email link in the newsletter, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way (via email or phone).
The newsletter of the Deetken Impact contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Deetken Impact may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The Deetken Impact automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
The website of the Deetken Impact contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
The Deetken Impact offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a web-based, publicly-accessible portal, through which one or more people called bloggers or web-bloggers may post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blogposts. Blogposts may usually be commented by third parties.
9. Subscription to comments in the blog on the website
The comments made in the blog of the Deetken Impact may be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, there is the possibility that a commenter subscribes to the comments following his comments on a particular blog post.
If a data subject decides to subscribe to the option, the controller will send an automatic confirmation e-mail to check the double opt-in procedure as to whether the owner of the specified e-mail address decided in favor of this option. The option to subscribe to comments may be terminated at any time.
10. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the Deetken Impact, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of Deetken Impact shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An employees of the Deetken Impact will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the Deetken Impact, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the Deetken Impact will arrange the restriction of the processing.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of the Deetken Impact.
The Deetken Impact shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the Deetken Impact processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the Deetken Impact to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the Deetken Impact will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the Deetken Impact for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of the Deetken Impact. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, the Deetken Impact shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the Deetken Impact.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the Deetken Impact.
13. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google AdSense
On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdSense. Google AdSense is an online service which allows the placement of advertising on third-party sites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects advertisements displayed on third-party sites to match with the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows an interest-based targeting of the Internet user, which is implemented by means of generating individual user profiles.
The operating company of Google's AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
The purpose of Google's AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google AdSense component is integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google AdSense component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Alphabet Inc. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Alphabet Inc., inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently create commission settlements.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Additionally, cookies already in use by Alphabet Inc. may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in web pages to enable a log file recording and a log file analysis through which a statistical analysis may be performed. Based on the embedded tracking pixels, Alphabet Inc. is able to determine if and when a website was opened by a data subject, and which links were clicked on by the data subject. Tracking pixels serve, inter alia, to analyze the flow of visitors on a website.
Through Google AdSense, personal data and information—which also includes the IP address, and is necessary for the collection and accounting of the displayed advertisements—is transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. These personal data will be stored and processed in the United States of America. The Alphabet Inc. may disclose the collected personal data through this technical procedure to third parties.
Google AdSense is further explained under the following link https://www.google.com/intl/en/adsense/start/.
On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google's search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest based advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must access from each of the browsers in use the link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
On this website, the controller has integrated Jetpack. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in, which provides additional features to the operator of a website based on WordPress. Jetpack allows the Internet site operator, inter alia, an overview of the visitors of the site. By displaying related posts and publications, or the ability to share content on the page, it is also possible to increase visitor numbers. In addition, security features are integrated into Jetpack, so a Jetpack-using site is better protected against brute-force attacks. Jetpack also optimizes and accelerates the loading of images on the website.
The operating company of Jetpack Plug-Ins for WordPress is the Automattic Inc., 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, UNITED STATES. The operating enterprise uses the tracking technology created by Quantcast Inc., 201 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, UNITED STATES.
Jetpack sets a cookie on the information technology system used by the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a Jetpack component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to submit data through the Jetpack component for analysis purposes to Automattic. During the course of this technical procedure Automattic receives data that is used to create an overview of website visits. The data obtained in this way serves the analysis of the behaviour of the data subject, which has access to the Internet page of the controller and is analyzed with the aim to optimize the website. The data collected through the Jetpack component is not used to identify the data subject without a prior obtaining of a separate express consent of the data subject. The data comes also to the notice of Quantcast. Quantcast uses the data for the same purposes as Automattic.
The data subject can, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Automattic/Quantcast from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Automattic/Quantcast may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data relating to a use of this Internet site that are generated by the Jetpack cookie as well as the processing of these data by Automattic/Quantcast and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must press the 'opt-out' button under the link https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/ which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with this purpose is placed on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies are deleted on the system of the data subject, then the data subject must call up the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.
With the setting of the opt-out cookie, however, the possibility exists that the websites of the controller are not fully usable anymore by the data subject.
The applicable data protection provisions of Automattic may be accessed under https://automattic.com/privacy/. The applicable data protection provisions of Quantcast can be accessed under https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/.
The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is a web-based social network that enables users with existing business contacts to connect and to make new business contacts. Over 400 million registered people in more than 200 countries use LinkedIn. Thus, LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, UNITED STATES. For privacy matters outside of the UNITED STATES LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to the download of a display of the corresponding LinkedIn component of LinkedIn. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-in may be accessed under https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During the course of this technical procedure, LinkedIn gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on LinkedIn, LinkedIn detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the LinkedIn component and associated with the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, then LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in at LinkedIn at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the LinkedIn button or not. If such a transmission of information to LinkedIn is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their LinkedIn account before a call-up to our website is made.
LinkedIn provides under https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls the possibility to unsubscribe from e-mail messages, SMS messages and targeted ads, as well as the ability to manage ad settings. LinkedIn also uses affiliates such as Eire, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua, and Lotame. The setting of such cookies may be denied under https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. The applicable privacy policy for LinkedIn is available under https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. The LinkedIn Cookie Policy is available under https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.
This Privacy Policy has been generated by the Privacy Policy Generator of the German Association for Data Protection that was developed in cooperation withPrivacy Lawyers from WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE, Cologne.

These fourteen stories range widely across the golden age of British crime fiction. Stellar names from the past are well represented--Arthur Conan Doyle and G. K. Chesterton, for instance--with classic stories that have won acclaim over the decades. The collection also uncovers a wide range of hidden gems: Anthony Berkeley--whose brilliance with plot had even Agatha Christie in raptures--is represented by a story so (undeservedly) obscure that even the British Library does not own a copy. The stories by Phyllis Bentley and Helen Simpson are almost equally rare, despite the success which both writers achieved, while those by H. C. Bailey, Leo Bruce and the little-known Gerald Findler have seldom been reprinted.

Vahan Mkhitaryan: It's a great honor to be the flag bearer of Armenia
13:20 - 25 Jul, 2016
The main sporting event of the last four years, Olympic Games, will kick off in a few days.
At the 31st Summer Olympic Games Armenia's flag bearer will be swimmer Vahan Mkhitaryan. ANOC President Gagik Tsarukyan announced it at the meeting with athletes and reporters.
In a conversation with the ANOC press service Mkhitaryan confessed that he had been so confused and excited that had forgotten to thank the president for the mission entrusted to him.
''To say sincerely, I was very surprised; I was so confused that I didn't expressed my gratitude. This is a great honor for me. Believe me, I can't describe it in words. The only thing I want to do at this moment is to shout for joy,'' Mkhitaryan said.
Mkhitaryan was also a flag bearer at the Nanjing Youth Olympics.

Q: Error when running scala script from terminal; however :load works fine inside interpreter I am trying to learn Scala, or at least the basics for now.
I went to the scala website to download it from there. I followed the steps and download Coursier and called cs setup and then cs install scala:3.1.1 and cs install scalac:3.1.1.
I started writing simple scripts without classes, like how you'd do in the interpreter. So I opened a text file and wrote print('x') and saved it to filename.scala, then I went to terminal and tried scala filename.scala; however, that gave me the error ("Illegal start of toplevel definition"). I changed the code inside the .scala file to a simple var x : Int 4, and I get a different error ("Error: No main methods detected in script Desktop/filename.scala").
When I open the scala terminal and use the :load option, everything works fine. After looking around SO for a good half an hour, none of the mentioned answers helped. I understand that scala is looking for a full program with objects and methods like java. But from what I read, it should be able to run scripts like the one I wrote by guessing its type. What's the problem? Is this a problem with scala 3 or my terminal? or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Money Makin' Nique – "The Realest Sh*t" (prod. Alchemist)
blame it on Meka July 6, 2016
What do producer Alchemist and rapper Styles P have in common with Money Makin' Nique?
On the surface they appear to have no kind of relation to the Atlanta rapper, but like the opening lines of ScHoolboy Q's "My Homie" Nique has longed to work with Al while he credits Styles' 2007 release Ghost In The Shell as the album that changed his life. He now pays homage to the two on "The Realest Sh*t," which will live on his project Bring Money Witchu.

The University of Colorado on Wednesday submitted comments and questions on behalf of its four campuses to the U.S. Department of Education in response to its revisions to proposed Title IX guidelines.
The department provided a two-month public comment period, which ended Jan. 30, regarding the proposed new rules for how campuses handle cases of sexual assault. The department has not determined when any changes may go into effect.
A CU systemwide committee led by CU Vice President and University Counsel Patrick O'Rourke reviewed the proposed rules and feedback and ultimately recommended the comment and questions that were adopted and submitted on behalf of University President Bruce Benson.
According to O'Rourke, the questions and comments are intended to help determine how to interpret and implement some key points if the proposed rules were to be adopted in their existing form.
At CU Denver, we remain steadfast in our shared responsibility to create and maintain an environment that is welcoming, safe and inclusive for everyone. We will keep you updated, as appropriate, on any federal policy decisions that could impact our campus community.


one question for people who have the CV 40mm 1.4. Do you see vignetting at 1.4?? Not sure if it is my hawk's adapter but at 1.4 i see vignetting....i had forgotten when the vignette disappears stopped down but it does go away when you decrease aperture.
EDIT: LOL, i should have googled first.....yes, it does vignette wide open.
Post edited over 4 years ago by ekie.
just got the Voigtlander 15/24.5 (v3) yesterday. Didn't have get a chance to take it outside to test so I only took a couple indoors using the close-focus adapter. The lens can get really close and its super sharp (at least in the Center in these photos). Lens feel really nice, very light when mounted on the A7R.
I've never really considered Voigtlander lenses, but this made me reconsider. Been hearing a lot about them recently and that picture of how close you can focus with that 15mm + Close-Focus adapter made my eyes wide open.
Which one of your Voigtlander lenses is the most fun, or most used?
POTN Feedback / My Work!
At the moment, I would say the 40/1.4 only cause its so small and had it for the longest. The 35/1.2 I just got last week and the 15/4.5 just yesterday so haven't really spent much time shooting those yet. The 35/1.2 is pretty sweet though, it is longer and bit heavier than the 40/1.4 but provides different rendering and the 1.2 @ 35mm.
jeeze, those are tiny, love the size. My first voigtlander is coming soon, the cv40.
also have a cheapie helicoid coming, if that doesnt pan out well, then I may consider the hawks. Also got a fotasy adapter from amazon.
It is an option yeah you are correct. I've not yet bought an EF>E adapter though so I don't know what it's like to manual focus on the A7. I guess the advantage with older manual lenses is the fact they have a longer throw for focusing.

now sharing my simple(poor) setup... yap in our garage.
We just can't seem to get enough of this model Excellent as always, Vin.
I read the Philip Reeve tip on shimmering pixels where he said that if you put sharpness to +3 (which makes the shimmering more apparent), you can see shimmering around the areas that are in critical focus. I tried this but i cant see these shimmering pixels.
Anyone can help me understand the tip, i might be missing something here.
Is this something that can be seen if you magnify or just at full view??
I am still having issues manual focusing with just focus peaking. What i do is i use focus peaking to get to the general area i want in focus and i do this not by checking the peaking on the actual subject which can be misleading but ALSO checking what other items are peaking if they seem to be in the same general area i then go to step 2 which is to magnify and then judge critical focus which can be a good amount of time moving back and forth to make sure i got critical focus. Of course this is important for very big apertures at f4 and above I can be a little loose.
I've never tried the shimmering thing. Landscapes & stopped down a bit I find I can focus peak & lately I've been trying the 'low' setting. I've also read that shooting in the black & white mode allows the peaking 'colour' to show up better/easier - This obviously only really work if you shoot Raw.
Nice shots Eddie. The lens does seem to produce nice images when paired with the A7 series. I'm well over spent at the moment - I need to finish selling things or wait & earn some more then I may try an adapter.
Thank you buddy. Appreciate it.

Q: PIR transistor ,minimal circuit, minimum current, We would like to take a PIR transistor (not a module) , and use it to detect a human body in a distance of 20cm only .
The thing is, we don't want to use an amplifier ,  we want the current under 100uA.
So i am looking for some configuration where putting this transistor together with some resistors divider, to produce high logic on a human presence within 20cm .
I couldn't find anything but the modules -HC-SR501 .
Could someone give me something to start with , some minimal configuration to start and read data ?
thanks .

A: First of all, a PIR sensor is not a transistor, although the packaging may be similar in some cases.
Secondly, the output of a PIR sensor is an AC signal, based on the changes in thermal energy it is receiving, not its absolute value. These changes are enhanced by using optics (usually a Fresnel lens of some sort) to project multiple "zones" onto the sensor, and the output signal is caused by a warm body entering and leaving those zones. For this reason, a PIR sensor is not really all that good at detecting nearby warm objects that cover multiple zones at once.
If you want to detect "warm" bodies at close range, you'll need something a lot more sophisticated than a bare PIR sensor. For example, look into the technology used to automatically flush toilets, etc. — they run for a long time on low current.

A: Like Dave said, raw PIR sensor won't be very useful for you. The modules contain a small IC which do the processing for you. They perform the calculations on the output generated by raw PIR sensor and give you a HIGH or LOW depending upon whether motion is being sensed or not. See the image below. There is a chip BISS0001 which does that for you:

Trying to achieve that using a raw sensor and basic circuit will be difficult and not at all power saving.
Panasonic manufactures passive PIR sensor modules which draw very low current. WL series consumes 1-6 uA during standby and 100 uA while detecting and should be suitable for your job. These are compact as compared to the general PIR sensors that you find on hobby electronics websites. Here is an image:

On a flip side, you won't have features like sensitivity and delay adjustment. You need to take care of those things using a micro-controller. Well, can't have everything at once...

Aboriginal Children and Family Centres need funding certainty…now!
With the end of financial year in sight, the 38 new Aboriginal Children and Family Centres (ACFCs) across Australia are continuing to operate under an uncertain funding future with no indication yet that the issue will be resolved before 30 June.
The 38 ACFCs represent a $300m investment by COAG under a National Partnership Agreement on Indigenous Early Childhood between the Australian Government and state-territory governments.
These centres — and other Indigenous community-controlled early childhood services — are playing a vital role in giving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children the best chance to do well at school and life, as well as providing important practical support (such as health services) to families.
Some of the ACFCs have been operating for over a year, while others — for example, the Bairnsdale (Victoria) and Ballina (NSW) ACFCs — have officially opened only in the past few weeks.
But with the 30 June deadline approaching, SNAICC has been told that some centres have had to reduce their services and let go of staff. One ACFC has been advised to give staff three months' notice of termination.
This unacceptable situation — which is affecting an estimated 1400 children and their families — is the result of a lack of concrete plans under the national partnership agreement as to what would happen with the funding post June. The Australian Government believes it is a state responsibility, and the states believe it's a Commonwealth responsibility.
SNAICC CEO Frank Hytten, in an interview on NITV on 3 April (segment starts at 5m:55s), has called on governments to get together urgently to end this damaging impasse and guarantee the long-term future of these vital services.
SNAICC is continuing to run a campaign, in partnership with ACFCs and Budget Based Funding (BBF) services, to gain the support of key figures to achieving sustainable funding for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander early years services.
In February, SNAICC, in partnership with ACFCs and BBF services, held a highly successful Parliamentary breakfast to promote the importance of Indigenous early years services. Over 70 people attended the breakfast, including MPs, Senators, political advisers and members of the Prime Minister's Indigenous Advisory Council, as well as representatives from ACFCs and BBF services.
SNAICC and ACFCs/BBF representatives also held 33 individual meetings with MPs and Senators to canvass the funding of services, with a number of MPs expressing a commitment to raise the issue at Senate Estimates and with the Federal Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Nigel Scullion.
A number of MPs, including the shadow minister for education and early childhood, Kate Ellis, have spoken passionately on the importance of the ACFCs and BBF services in Parliament.
"We know that these Children and Family Centres not only provide a safe and loving environment where qualified educators provide a culturally appropriate education. The centres have also become a community hub for parents and carers who want to access services and advice for their family," Ms Ellis said.
"So not only are the children getting a quality early childhood education to set them up for their school years, to set them up for their futures, but the families are getting extra support that they may need to make sure that these children thrive. This is the key to closing the gap in education and to making sure that every child has the best start in life."
And a member of the Indigenous Advisory Council raised the issue at a meeting of the council held on the afternoon of the breakfast.
The parliamentary event and intensive series of meetings were held in the same week that Prime Minister Tony Abbott tabled the sixth Closing the Gap report in Parliament.
Delivering mixed progress on the efforts to close the gap on Indigenous disadvantage, Mr Abbott announced a new target for school attendance, adding to existing targets on educational achievements and access to early childhood education for all Indigenous four-year-olds.
Our community-controlled early childhood services must be given adequate long-term funding to continue to play a pivotal role in achieving these important targets.

Vose and fellow team members Charles Luce (Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station), Toral Patel-Weynand (Forest Service Washington Office), and James Clark (Duke University), developed a national assessment of the impacts of drought on the nation's forests and rangelands that provides the foundation for developing science-based options that managers can use to increase the resiliency of U.S. forests and grasslands.
Findings are synthesized in the general technical report (GTR) published by the Forest Service, Effects of Drought on Forests and Rangelands in the United States: A Comprehensive Science Synthesis, and were featured in special issues of the scientific journals Global Change Biology and Forest Ecology and Management.
The assessment and synthesis also provided critical information in support of the reauthorization of for the National Integrated Drought Information System and addressed the National Climate Assessment need for scientific information on drought.

It would be great if we could bottle it up and take it home.
Melbourne is just sports crazy. So they're really excited about this.
Sure, it would be great if we had every single one of the best athletes in Canada here. However, we know that athletes have all sorts of priorities.
We have a very strong team coming. We have some excellent proven performers who've been to other major events, including previous Commonwealth Games.
I think the encouraging things are to see some of the performances of the young Canadians that have been at their first Games.

Home/NFL/Will Bell Get Locked Up Long-Term by Pittsburgh?
Will Bell Get Locked Up Long-Term by Pittsburgh?
Leading up to the 2017 NFL season, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell elected to hold out due to contract negotiations. On September 4th, Bell ended the off-season saga by signing his franchise tag, which will pay him $12.1 million by the end of this season. With Bell finally signing the franchise tag, the question now is whether Bell will get the extension that he has been seeking from the team.
In 16 regular season games last season, Bell rushed for 1,268 yards and 8 touchdowns. On top of that, he also had 76 receptions for 616 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. Last year, Bell was a huge part in helping Pittsburgh win the AFC North and advance to the AFC Championship game, only to lose to the eventual Super Bowl winners: The New England Patriots.
Ever since entering the NFL in 2013, Bell has proven that he is arguably the best running back in the league, which is evident in his blazing speed, as well as his ability to break tackles. Bell is undoubtedly one of the top running backs in the NFL for a reason, and he should continue to hold his own, especially with him only being 25-years old.
This is not the first time that the Steelers and Bell have been on different pages, as this controversy has been ongoing since last season, in which Bell believed he deserved a lot more than the $4.12 million salary he was receiving during his rookie contract.
On July 14th, which marked the last day the Steelers could cut a deal with Bell, the franchise reportedly put an offer on the table for Bell and his agent, which was a 5-year deal, and was worth more than $12 million annually. On that day, Pittsburgh thought that everything was going well, and believed that Bell was going to put pen to paper and sign the extension, only to have Bell pull out of the contract at the last minute.
With the numbers that Bell has produced over the past few seasons, he is a very important piece of the Steelers offense. With him in the lineup, Pittsburgh does not have to depend on veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for most of the offensive production, which is crucial, considering Roethlisberger is aging. In fact, trying to lock up Bell to a long-term contract should be very high on the priority list for General Manager Kevin Colbert and the rest of the front office.
Even though the Steelers are currently having problems re-signing Bell, that does not mean that the team is having a problem signing other players to contract extensions. Outside of Bell, Pittsburgh has locked up Pro-Bowl wide receiver Antonio Brown to a four-year contract worth $68 million dollars, which makes Brown the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL at the moment.
With the way Bell plays, it should be a no-brainer that he should get a big contract from Pittsburgh, but it is easier said than done. Since 2013, Bell has only played a full season once in his entire career, and that was in 2014. Yes, Bell is a physical running back, but his lack of playing time has proven to be a concern.
Another reason that signing Bell to a long-term contract might be concerning is the fact that ever since getting drafted in 2013, Bell has had two large incidents with the NFL. In 2014, Bell, alongside then-teammate LeGarrette Blount, was arrested for DUI and marijuana possession. Due to the arrest, Bell was suspended for three games, which was then reduced to two games after a successful appeal process.
In 2016, Bell once again was suspended, this time it was for the first three games of the regular season, due to violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. This was a huge blow to the Steelers, who ended up finishing 2-1 during his suspension.
With Bell becoming a potential free agent next summer, someone will likely pay him the money that he is worth. In the NFL, you have to pay a lot of money to get superstar talent, and Bell is unquestionably a superstar. As long as Bell can produce the same type of numbers that he has been producing in the last few years, he will be getting a big pay day if he hits the free agent market, and it will either be from Pittsburgh, or from another NFL franchise.
The biggest reason why signing Bell to a long-term contract will be concerning is the fact that he is desiring too much money, and is aiming to become the highest-paid running back in the NFL. With the way he plays on the field, it makes sense for Pittsburgh to pay him. Off the field is a different tale, because when you hand players large contracts, you should want them to evolve as a leader in the locker room. For Bell, he has not proven those qualities in his short amount of time with Pittsburgh.

Central Securities Depositories Regulation is an EU regulation aimed at the harmonisation of the regulatory environment of securities settlement and Central Securities Depositories in the Union.
The European Union's CSDR is designed to increase the safety and efficiency of securities settlements and settlement infrastructures as well as to apply high prudential requirements for Central Securities Depositories ('CSDs').
Under Article 38(5) of the CSDR, an HSBC Private Banking business unit which is a direct participant of a CSD in the European Economic Area (EEA) must offer its clients whose securities are held through the CSD the choice between an Omnibus Client Segregated Account (OSA) and an Individual Client Segregated Account (ISA). In addition, article 38(6) of the CSDR requires the HSBC Private Banking business unit to publicly disclose the levels of protection and the costs associated with the different levels of segregation that the accounts provide, and to offer those services on reasonable commercial terms.
An ISA is used to hold the securities of a single client and therefore the securities of that client are held separately from the securities of other clients and HSBC's own proprietary securities. An OSA is used to hold the securities of a number of clients on a collective basis. However, HSBC does not hold its own proprietary securities in Omnibus Accounts.
The article 38(5) CSDR requirement only applies where an HSBC Private Banking business unit is a direct participant of an EEA CSD. For example, an HSBC Private Banking business unit is not required to offer the choice between an ISA and an OSA in respect of securities which it is holding for clients through a sub-custodian who in turn is the CSD participant for the securities.
The article 38(5) and (6) CSDR requirements become effective as of the date of authorization of the relevant CSD under the CSDR. Please click on the links below for combined CSDR offers and disclosures of certain HSBC Private Banking business units that are direct participants of EEA CSDs. Please note that the below disclosures are applicable to the Global Private Banking business. For other lines of business within HSBC, please refer to the disclosures on their respective websites.
The HSBC Group is one of the largest banking and financial service organisations in the world.

On the interface between technology, people and society
Online courses, diets, and going to the gym. The science of why we give up.
November 3, 2014 8.17am EST
David Glance, University of Western Australia
David Glance
Director of UWA Centre for Software Practice, University of Western Australia
University of Western Australia provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation AU.
Empty Gym.
One of the characteristic features of Massive Open Online Courses is the observation that no matter how many students enroll in a course, only between 5 to 10% of them will ever complete it. Setting aside the argument of whether this actually means that MOOCs are considerably less "massive" than the name suggests, the interesting question is what is behind this high level of drop-outs and why does it seem so consistent?
To investigate this phenomenon further, a colleague and I at UWA collaborated with Stanford University and looked at MOOC activity for 42 of their courses that were run on Coursera. We assessed student activity by the simple measure of how many people watched each of the videos offered by each of the courses. It turned out that people belonged to one of two different groups and that these groups drop out of the courses in a remarkably consistent way.
The first group of MOOC students drop out quickly with half of them stopping after only 10% of the videos have been watched. In an average MOOC this means that half will have dropped out before they have watched the first week's videos. The second group consist of those students who stick with it for longer and so their drop-out rate is slower. The pattern of student drop out of a typical course is shown in the following graph.
MOOC Attrition.
The amazing feature of all of this is that it didn't matter what the course actually is about, nor did it matter who taught it or how they taught it, students all dropped out of all of these MOOCs at very similar rates.
It turns out that the drop out pattern seen in MOOCs is actually similar to those seen in a range of different areas including gym attendance and how long people wear fitness trackers. In both cases, there is a group of people who will give up going to the gym or wearing a fitness tracker (or dieting) faster than a second group who drops out over a longer period of time. Of course, as with people taking MOOCs, there are those people who will stick it out on an ongoing basis.
Gym Membership Retention.
The way people stop doing MOOCs or stop going to the gym is remarkably similar and follows a pattern in which two parallel processes are losing numbers at different rates, one fast, the other slow. Coincidentally, this pattern is seen frequently in biological and physical systems.
A limited pool of self-control
One possible explanation for this phenomenon comes from psychology and is known as "ego depletion". Ego depletion is a theory that proposes that people have a limited amount of self control, or willpower, and that this is reduced every time we exert it, for whatever reason. In an experiment to demonstrate this, researchers have found that if they give their test subjects two tasks that require self-control, the subjects show less self-control in the second task than those subjects who were first given a different task not requiring self-control. In other words, doing any task requiring willpower makes any subsequent task that much harder to do.
Ego depletion may be the reason that we give up going to the gym, give up on diets and any other program for self-improvement. With every bit of self-control we exert, every subsequent demand for it becomes harder. The drop outs from MOOCs demonstrate that across a large number of people, how quickly we run out of self-control is fairly consistent, explaining why the drop out curves are similar across different courses.
People naturally exhibit different levels of ability when it comes to self-control. People who have measurable traits of higher self-control are more successful in losing weight. It is also possible to work on improving self-control through a range of strategies including exercises.
The causes of self-control sapping
The actual demands on willpower, in the case of MOOCs at least, are likely to be about how the participants prioritise their time. Lack of time is probably the most significantly cited challenge of persisting with MOOCs. Given that these courses are commonly done by people who are working or engaged in other studies, it is easy to see how ego depletion would work to make it hard to fit a MOOC into an existing schedule.
The difficulty for organisations that run gyms or put on MOOCs is that when dropout is due to factors that are inherent in the general population, there is little that they can do to influence retention short of offering expensive incentives. This task is made especially hard because once someone drops out, there is no easy way to engage with them to get them to start again.

Westfarms is a shopping mall on the West Hartford–Farmington town line in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It was opened in 1974, expanded in 1982 and 1995–1997, and remodeled in 2008–2009. With  of gross leasable area, Westfarms is the third-largest mall in Connecticut. It is located on Route 71, off the I-84 and Route 9 junction and near several open-air shopping plazas. The mall is currently owned and managed by Taubman Centers, a subsidiary of Simon Property Group.

History
Westfarms opened in 1974. It was developed by Bloomfield Hills-based Taubman Centers, which remains in charge of its management since then. Its original anchors were G. Fox & Co., J. C. Penney, and Sage-Allen. The mall was expanded with a new retail wing in 1982, which included a Lord & Taylor store. They relocated from Bishops Corner in West Hartford.

Hartford-based G. Fox was acquired by Boston-based Filene's in 1992, and the Westfarms store was rebranded on January 30, 1993. Sage-Allen filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1992, and closed permanently in 1993. Facing competition from the newer Buckland Hills Mall in nearby Manchester, Taubman began a USD $100-million renovation and expansion of Westfarms in 1995. In the first phase, Filene's and Lord & Taylor were remodeled, and the vacated Sage-Allen space became a Filene's Men's & Home. A four-level parking garage was built in the second phase in 1996, and a new retail wing between J. C. Penney and Lord & Taylor with two additional parking garages was completed in 1997. The wing is anchored by Seattle-based Nordstrom, which opened on September 6, 1997. It was the first Nordstrom in New England and remained their only store in Connecticut until The SoNo Collection in Norwalk opened in 2019.

On September 9, 2006, Filene's became Macy's.

In August 2020, Lord & Taylor announced they would be shuttering their brick-and-mortar retail base after modernizing into a digital collective department store. In December, 2022, it was announced that Jordan's Furniture would be reconstructing the original Lord & Taylor structure which will open by 2024.

Architecture
Unlike many enclosed malls, Westfarms does not feature a common-area food court, but some wings of the mall contain several quick service restaurants that are housed in their own storefronts.

LinkedIn has formally announced its plans to go public through the filing of an S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this afternoon, making it the first time that the business networking site has turned over many of the detailed facts about its financial operations.
"We believe we are transforming the way people work by connecting talent with opportunity at massive scale," LinkedIn explained in its filing. "Our goal is to provide a global platform capable of mapping every professional's experience, skills, and other relevant professional data to his or her professional graph, including connections with colleagues and business contacts."
Through a combination of advertising and business services, LinkedIn has managed to actually make some money in the process. Net revenue in the first nine months of 2010 was $161 million, with a profit of $10 million' in the same period in the previous year, it logged half that revenue and only $3.4 million in profit.
LinkedIn has more than 90 million registered members, up from 55 million a year before--a statistic that it's been more vocal about as a private company. But in the S-1 filing, the company warned that not all of its registered users are active and that a minority of members are responsible for the "substantial" majority of its 5.5 billion page views.

In the past, the BAFTA Rising Star award has predicted some of the biggest actors in Hollywood, from last year's winner Jack O'Connell, to big names like James McAvoy and Kirsten Stewart.
So who should we be looking out for this year?
Who: Daughter of Melanie Griffiths and Don Johnson, granddaughter to Tippi Hedren, there was no doubting that Dakota Johnson wasn't going to make it in the acting world, but taking on the biggest role of 2015 as Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey was still no mean feat.
Why we love them: While everyone had spent all year obsessing about Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey, it was actually Dakota that stole the show, both on the big screen and the red carpet. Plus, she's followed it up with A Bigger Splash opposite Tilda Swinton.
Who: Boyega was a relative unknown when he was plucked from the masses by JJ Abrams to play Finn in the latest Star Wars film.
Why we love them: He may have only been on our radar for the later part of last year, but he's already proven he's got talent and a big personality. Didn't see him sparring with David Beckham on The Graham Norton Show? Watch it immediately.
Who: Having starred in one of the biggest films of 2015, Trainwreck, this year sees Larson transformed for the book-to-film adaptation of Emma Donoghue's Room.
Why we love them: Hilarious in Trainwreck, heartbreaking and awe-inspiring as a young mother who was kidnapped as a teenager in Room, she's proving she's a master of all trades.
Who: Having started out on CBBC in the series M.I. High, Bel Powley has now made the move to the big screen with roles in The Diary of a Teenage Girl and A Royal Night Out.
Why we love them: Bel became a new kind of role model for teenage girls everywhere when her on screen character Minnie gave an honest account of love as a teen in The Diary of a Teenage Girl, when she starts an affair with her mother's boyfriend, played by Alexander Skarsgaard.
Who: Another one who started out on TV and has since moved over to film, with big roles in Testament of Youth, Legend and Kingsman: The Secret Service last year.
Why we love him: He stole all our hearts as Colin Firth's protégé Eggsy in spy film Kingsman (with another film to come), and bagged himself the best male newcomer title at the Empire Awards. Plus, next year he's starring in a re-make of Robin Hood as Hood himself and the Eddie the Eagle film as Eddie.

Captain America's Best MCU Moments (So Far)
Posted by Amy Ratcliffe on March 22, 2018
Captain America: The First Avenger wasn't the first official film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but the 2011 movie did introduce the best MCU character: Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America. Don't at me. With Chris Evans' time as Captain America coming to an end after the as yet untitled fourth Avengers movie, it's the right moment to look back at the best Cap one-liners, gifs, and scene-stealing moments in the films…so far.
"I can do this all day." Steve was a super human before he became a super soldier. He didn't tolerate bullying, and despite his skinny frame, he fought back against injustice. This moment in The First Avenger is everything Captain America is about in a nutshell. When Cap said it again in Civil War, I experienced a lot of feels.
Since Steve was a Capsicle for decades, he missed out on a lot of pop culture. References often fly right over his head, but in The Avengers, he got a nod to The Wizard of Oz. So proud of you, Steve.
Remember that time Steve did PSAs.
Well, you can't blame the whole being frozen in ice thing for Steve misunderstanding some basic lessons about the birds and the bees. Fondue hasn't been the same since 2011.
I mean, if you have the gumption to order Hulk around…
You can find a lot of impressive action sequences in the MCU, but Captain America's elevator knockout in Winter Soldier stands out among the dozens as maybe the best and most memorable one.
Steve had to get used to so much after he thawed and emerged into the modern century. But like he points out in The Winter Soldier, one of the positive changes is the oh so helpful internet.
Captain America was born in a different time with different ideas about what is proper. He's old-fashioned, which is charming as hell when put against Tony Stark's personality. Steve calling Stark out on his language is the most Cap thing to ever Cap.
Steve Rogers' Captain America will always stand against bullies—even if they were once his friends. I hope the next Cap can do the same.

H5N1, also known as avian influenza or bird flu, has apparently found a perfect environment to thrive in Egypt. Since the initial onset of the virus back in 2006, new outbreaks of the flu have occurred every single year, making Egypt one of the world's few endemic countries for the virus, along with Indonesia and Vietnam. The government, taking the threat of a pandemic seriously, has launched annual vaccination campaigns to mitigate the number of fatalities in Egypt, which made up 55 of the 159 total reported cases according to the World Health Organization.
The amount of data collected by Egyptian veterinary services and bird flu specialists on the ground since 2006 is massive, yet these scientists lack proper technology that could track the virus and identify areas where the virus could potentially strike again.
Three specialists from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) conducted a three-day workshop this week to familiarize Egypt's leading researchers, vets and ecologists with Geographic Information System (GIS), a system designed to capture, manipulate, analyze, merge and present all kinds of geographically referenced data to track the bird flu virus across the country. GIS merges cartography, statistical analysis and database technology and has proven extremely useful in fighting epidemics and pandemics worldwide, giving precious help to epidemiologists who specialize in tracking viruses.
Ryan Harrigan is a postdoctoral student at UCLA who specializes in spatial modeling for avian influenza. After installing GIS software on the attendees' laptops, he kept hopping around from one person to another to help them use the program.
"Everything we do," he explains, "is linking cases of influenza with the environment that surrounds it. What makes a site have positive cases and another devoid of them? Farming practices, land use, density… in what type of environment does H5N1 persist in?" he asks, stressing how interesting Egypt's case study is.
The training is financed by the US National Institute of Health and Fogarty International Center, the latter having a program that focuses on avian influenza across the world, with an emphasis on Africa.
Not only this, he adds, but this modeling tool will also bring a vast array of factors together — like density, water presence and altitude of the location — and correlate them, which will help identify the most significant factors that trigger bird flu outbreaks. Njabo explains that identifying the environmental factors will help determine high-risk population centers before the epidemic reaches them because they have similar environmental characteristics as the infected areas. This would mitigate the impact of another potential outbreak.
"Awareness campaigns will have to be conducted in these potentially threatened areas, to teach people simple hygiene practices that are really efficient to prevent infection by the virus," Njabo says.
But, Njabo feels that the main problem is poverty. Also, the blatant distrust that exists between the people and the state needs to change, so people report cases of dying birds without fearing that their source of income will be wiped out. Many farmers fear that identifying their poultry as infected will result in a government order to cull the birds without compensation.
"No one will speak when in fear of some kind of retaliation," he says.
Harrigan also sees another aspect that needs improving to track the virus with more accuracy.
"There is a disconnect between the people collecting the data, the breeders and the modeling people, which does not contribute to giving a clear image of how the virus is developing on the ground," he stresses.
What he is already certain of is that the entire Egyptian population being crammed onto 5 percent of the country's land allows bird flu to spread at a fast pace.
Although the chance that the virus will mutate to become transmissible from human to human is very unlikely, Fuller insists on the importance of mastering all the data to be able to mitigate the consequences of this disastrous scenario.
Basma Sheta, one of the attendees of the training, is a PhD student from the University of Mansoura. She is an experienced field researcher who studies the transmission of the H5N1 virus from migratory birds to domestic birds. She conducted fieldwork at the beginning of the year in the Monufiya, the governorate which has been the most harshly hit by the virus so far, and she can already assert that the virus is becoming more aggressive.
"For the first time, I found a case in a wild but resident bird, which proves that the virus is in mutation," she says.


My Beginnings: It was late winter in northern Rus', the air sullen ith wet that was neither rain nor snow.
Rules: *Grab a book, any book. *Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader (If you have to improvise, that's okay.) *Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grab you. *Post it.
My 56%: Muscles quivering, I rolled my shoulder, shook out my damaged wrist. "Laurel Hammer was responsible for the single most humilating moment of my life,"I snapped. "Ever. If anything, I should be the one who doesn't like her. And for the record, I don't".
I like the sounds of both books but would pick up The Bear and The Nightingale first! :-) Happy weekend!

Middletown native and "Hillbilly Elegy" author J.D. Vance is being courted by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, to run for U.S. Senate after Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel dropped out of the race last week. NICK GRAHAM/FILE
"Hillbilly Elegy" author mulls Senate bid, but does he live in Ohio?
Jessica Wehrman
Jack Torry, Washington Bureau
Even as Ohio advisers to "Hillbilly Elegy" author J.D. Vance say Vance is seriously considering launching a bid against Sen. Sherrod Brown for the U.S. Senate, Republicans privately are concerned that the author, who has never before held public office, may have problems that would prove disastrous to his bid.
Key among their concerns: His residency and his critical comments about President Donald Trump, at one point tweeting that he found him reprehensible.
RELATED: Renacci jumps into Senate race
Vance, a Middletown native who told Columbus Monthly in November that he had taken a rental unit in German Village in January, makes no secret of the fact that he also has a residence in Washington, D.C., where his wife, Usha, is a clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
But Washington, D.C., tax records indicate that Vance received a Homestead Deduction for a D.C. property purchased in 2014 as late as last September. According to the district's Department of Tax and Revenue, a taxpayer can only receive the deduction if the property is the principal residence of the owner.
The Constitution requires that a U.S. Senator be an inhabitant of the state he represents. However, it's messy: Many senators maintain residences in Washington, D.C., and in their home states. The amount of time they spend in their state can become an issue with voters: Both Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar, a Republican, and Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, a Democrat, lost elections amid criticism that were only nominally residents of the state that they represented.
RELATED: Mike Gibbons says he will beat Sherrod Brown
Jai Chabria, who is working with Vance, said the author splits his time between both locations, joking that Vance could claim a residency in an airplane because he spends so much time flying between Ohio and D.C.
"I'm extremely confident if he chooses to get in that he'll have a very well-resourced campaign," he said, adding "Sherrod Brown has no desire to face J.D. Vance. Sherrod Brown has beaten a lot of typical Republicans. J.D. is more anti–establishment than other people in the race."
Privately, Republicans are expressing concern about Vance's past statements about Trump. Vance has said he voted for Evan McMullin and not Trump in 2016.
RELATED: Hatch to Sherrod Brown: 'Don't spew that stuff at me'
In October 2016, just a month before the election, Vance tweeted: "What percentage of the American population has @realDonaldTrump sexually assaulted?"
That same month, he also said that "Trump makes people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc. Because of this I find him reprehensible."
Chabria was quick to defend Vance's past comments on Trump.
"There are a lot of Republicans that were critical of the president," he said. "There are also a lot of people who could point to the really positive things he's done…what I can tell you is this: J.D. wants the president to succeed."
Barry Bennett, a GOP political consultant, said both the residency issue and the Trump comments are hurdles. "Washington seems to be absolutely his primary residence," Bennett said. "I don't know what address he claims in Ohio, but he's not living there."
If Vance decides to get in, he would battle businessman Mike Gibbons and U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci, R-Wadsworth for the nomination. The Republican nomination became up for grabs last week when Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel bowed out because of health problems involving his wife.
