OCR makes example of the importance of mobile device security with $850,000 settlement
HIM-HIPAA Insider, December 7, 2015

Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts, agreed to pay an $850,000 settlement to OCR for potential HIPAA violations resulting from the theft of an unencrypted laptop August 11, 2011. The laptop was used to operate a portable CT scanner and produced images for viewing through the hospital's radiology information system and picture archiving and communication system, according to HHS's statement. The laptop and CT scanner were left overnight in an unlocked treatment room in the hospital's radiology department. The laptop contained the PHI of 599 patients. Lahey reported the theft to HHS on October 11, 2011, according to the resolution agreement.
OCR's subsequent investigation produced evidence of "widespread non-compliance." The press release and agreement specifically list the hospital's non-compliance, including the following:
Failure to conduct a risk analysis
Lack of physical safeguards
Failure to implement and enforce policies and procedures governing the storage, use, movement, and removal of portable devices that contain ePHI
Absence of unique user name and user tracking system
Not recording and examining activity at the workstation
OCR concluded that these oversights led to the "impermissible disclosure" of patient's PHI. Covered entities are expected to apply appropriate measures to ensure the security of workstations and devices and the safety of PHI contained on them, Jocelyn Samuels, director of OCR, said in HHS' statement.
Lahey agreed to conduct an enterprise-wide risk analysis and submit that with a risk management plan to OCR, in addition to the settlement. The hospital is also required to report specific events and provide evidence of compliance. Once HHS approves its risk management plan, Lahey, according to the terms of the Corrective Action Plan, will submit their new security policies and procedures to HHS for revision and approval.

Sina Weibo, Alibaba File for US Stock Listing
Carlos Ageng'o
Most of the internet services termed revolutionary in the free world are blocked in the Middle Kingdom. As the Chinese Communist Party would have it, this places some form of control on the political rhetoric in the country. This has created an environment for the growth of internet companies which specifically target the Chinese population, and the immensity of the Chinese nation has brought a lot of wealth to Asia's internet billionares. Social media giant, Weibo and now Alibaba, the e-commerce company have announced their intent to list in the US securities market. In a country of 500 million internet users, Weibo serves a fifth of this number reporting revenues of $188 million in 2013. Weibo hopes to raise $500 million through its IPO in the US market.
Alibaba's grip on Chinese e-commerce is in contention as the ambitious JD.com is working hard to take over China's online retail market. But the former has been around for 15 years and now holds 45.1% of China's online retail market. JD.com has the advantage of having partnered with Tencent who own WeChat, this places 225 million users of the chat service at JD.com's disposal. While JD.com has a market share of 14%, there was growh in its userbase over the last year compared to Alibaba which dropped its market share from 46.1%.
Analysts predict that Alibaba's IPO could raise up to $15 billion valuing the company at $140 billion. This would be the second largest IPO by an internet company after Facebook. With $586 million invested in Weibo, Alibaba owns an 18% stake in the social media platform. This is part of its strategy to ramp up its mobile services as they follow the money. Chinese mobile users are the most active worldwide, data from iResearch projects that by 2017 this number will reach 750 million.

The U.S. Census Bureau has released a list of the top ten fastest-growing languages.
According to the latest statistics, Nigerian languages — Yoruba and Igbo — are leading the chart of languages spoken at home.

This is is according to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau. This list includes other languages from Africa like Swahili, other Central/Eastern/Southern African languages, Twi (a dialect spoken in Ghana), other Western African languages; and Amharic/Somali.
While African languages are on the rise, the statistics show that the number of people who speak English at home is going down. It dropped from 78.4% in 2016 to 78.1% last year.

This trend has been attributed to an increase in African immigrants. The share of immigrants from Africa has doubled every decade since 1970, according to a Pew Research Center report titled: 'At least a million sub-Saharan Africans moved to Europe since 2010: Sub-Saharan migration to the United States also growing.'
Now, Africans make up 39% of the total foreign-born black population in the United States. As of 2017, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana and Kenya were some of the top countries of origin for most of the migrants living in the states.

Fusion Friday Kabbalat Shabbat Is Back!
CBS is proud to announce the return of Fusion Friday Kabbalat Shabbat, a spirited Kabbalat Shabbat service that provides its many participants with a transformative experience that is as moving as it is joyful.
Led by Rabbi Aubrey Glazer, the Shir Hashirim Ensemble – Hazzan Richard Kaplan, violinist Lila Sklar, and Sheldon Brown (on clarinet, flute, saxophone, and bass clarinet) – will provide participants with an exquisite Friday night service featuring Jewish sacred music from around the world and drawn from Sephardic, Ashkenazic, and Mizrahi traditions. Each Fusion Friday Kabbalat Shabbat will incorporate contemplative prayer, mantra-like tunes, a Jewish/Turkish/Sufi zikr, klezmer and jazz accents, and beautiful Zoharic teachings and meditations by our own Rabbi Glazer. The prayer leaders, music, spirit, and ideas of the Fusion Friday Kabbalat Shabbat series make the vital passage between the rest of the week and Shabbat the extraordinary experience that it should be! Shabbat is a gift. We hope you will celebrate it with us!
Let's sing together on Friday, March 16! The Fusion Friday service is free.
Sing in the "Season of Awe"!

At 9 p.m., we invite young Jewish singles, couples, and friends to join us for scotch and a rousing musical Havdalah with Yehuda Solomon (frontman of the popular Isareli-American band, Moshav), Nahman Solomon, and our community leaders.
At 10 p.m., all ages are invited to join us for Broken Prayer & Its Repair, a deep dive into the songwriting of the late, great Leonard Cohen (z"l) and its Selichot significance.
Then, at 11:30 p.m., we'll open our hearts, dance, and prepare for the work of redeeming our world in 5778! After the incredible success of last year's Hardly Strictly Selichot Unplugged, we're super psyched to again raise our voices together. Yehuda, Nahman, Hazzan Avyatar Alfassi, Rabbi Glazer, and other friends will lead us in the joyous communal sing-along experience, one that features appearances by many special guests – musicians, singers, and rabbis – it's a neo-Carlebach kumzitz meets The Last Waltz mash-up! Singing and moving together with communal leaders and singers from CBS, Kehillah San Francisco, The Kitchen, and Congregation Anshey Sfard, we'll rediscover the power of the Selichot, our tradition's beautiful and meaningful penitential piyyut (Jewish liturgical poems).
All parts of this special evening are free, but pre-registration is required. Please register below!
Shaliach tzibbur (prayer leader), musician, and teacher Aviva Chernick returns again to CBS to lead Renew Our Days: The High Holy Days Unbound, a special, two-part service occurring on the mornings of Rosh Hashanah Day 1 and Yom Kippur.
Renew Our Days is a prayer lab, a non-halachic service (e.g., there is no Torah service) inspired by traditional liturgy, but not bound to it. The service continues to evolve from last year's initial iteration; it will move a bit further from a traditional structure, letting go of more of the text and incorporating more contemplative and embodied practice.
Highlighting selected passages and prayers, Aviva will guide participants on a journey, an opportunity to rediscover and reconnect with the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual substance of Jewish prayer and the High Holy Days. "With curiosity and an openness to discover the experience of prayer anew," Aviva says, "so much is possible."

Announcing Fusion Friday Kabbalat Shabbat!
Beginning in 2014, the CBS community has gathered on the third Friday of each month to welcome Shabbat with uplifting song.

This year, CBS is proud to announce Fusion Friday Kabbalat Shabbat, an exciting new iteration of our 3rd Friday series!

At 9 p.m., following a musical Havdalah with Yehuda Solomon and Duvid Swirsky of the Israeli-American folk-rock band, Moshav, we will stretch our spiritual and intellectual muscles with a screening of Rabbi Aubrey Glazer's short film, Fire on the Water. The 30-minute film uses a father-son fly fishing trip to grapple with divergent notions of sibling rivalry, parental love, trust, reconciliation, and sacrifice. This special screening will be followed by a panel discussion exploring the themes of the film as they relate to the spiritual journey of the Yamim Noraim, the Days of Awe – featuring many of our CBS High Holy Days spiritual leaders, including cantorial soloist Aviva Chernick, filmmaker Jonathan Crosby, and Rabbis Aubrey Glazer, Peretz Wolf-Prusan, Dorothy Richman.
Then, at 11:30 p.m., we'll put those limber muscles to work as we usher in "the season of awe" with Hardly Strictly Selichot Unplugged.

Let's (Continue) Our Spiritual Musical Journey!
On the heels of Rabbi Aubrey Glazer's jubilant installation as the spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Sholom (CBS) in September 2014, the CBS community has gathered on the third Friday of each month to raise our voices together, welcoming the Sabbath. The spirited 3rd Friday Musical Kabbalat Shabbat service is as profound as it is joyful, providing participants with a powerful transformative experience, one that nourishes and empowers. There is no other musical service like it in the Bay Area!
If you haven't participated in the service, we invite you to get a sense of it by pressing play (just below) before you read on!
Shabbat is a gift. At CBS, the vital passage between the rest of the week and Shabbat is accentuated by a truly talented line-up of musicians and prayer leaders that make the 3rd Friday services come alive. Led by our own Rabbi Glazer, Hazzan Richard Kaplan (piano and percussion), Lila Sklar (violin), and John Erlich (guitar and oud) awaken our neshamot, appealing to the joy that each of us can experience.
The music and singing of the 3rd Friday series welcome Shabbat in singular fashion. When we raise our voices in song and dance, we are celebrating our community and life itself. Moving together through this musical journey, on the wings of Jewish song from around the globe, we find (and expand) our Sabbath souls!
The 3rd Friday Musical Kabbalat Shabbat series was subsidized as a pilot program that recently concluded. An anonymous donor has graciously covered the cost of 3rd Friday services through March 2016, and CBS recently launched a CrowdRise fundraiser to maintain the innovative and inspiring series through the 2016-17 season (June 2017)!
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today. Your generosity will ensure that the music continues!
The words of our liturgy may be recited silently, chanted, or sung. Our 3rd Friday Musical Kabbalat Shabbat series emphasizes the latter, louder approach!
When we raise our voices together as a community to welcome Shabbat, we create a powerful transformative experience, one that sustains and empowers us not just in the moment, but also during the rest of the week.
Let's sing together this Friday, October 16, at 6:30 p.m.!
Scotch, sushi, and kid-friendly snacks will be served.

Counting Carbon: Forward-Looking Analysis Of Decarbonization
Ryan Thomas Trahan
Policy analysis primarily looks backward to solve problems of individual and public choice. Analysts often seek to derive and draw marginal curves from existing data to extrapolate observed relationships into the future. Indeed, the White House Council on Environmental Quality recently issued a proposed rule that would, among other things, codify the concepts underlying these tools for environmental matters, i.e., requiring the considered effects of a proposed action to be "reasonably foreseeable" and meet a "reasonably close causal relationship." That proposal expresses a perspective with a long tradition, yet it presents a curious circumstance. Although marginal and statistical regression tools are among the most powerful methods for understanding past continuous change, their power and efficacy diminish when applied to discontinuous change, meaning disjointed or abrupt.
This article discusses the discontinuity problem that is inherent in reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions (decarbonization). It suggests that combinatorics (i.e., mathematical analysis by counting and ordering) offers a useful methodology for evaluating that discontinuous change. Here, a simple counting approach (viz. Equivalent Substitution Analysis) considers, as two corresponding sets, the discrete number and combination of technological substitutions that are required for decarbonization. One implication of the analysis is that decarbonization need not be analyzed solely as a collective action problem. The article proceeds by exploring decarbonization conceptually and against archetypal modern analysis. The article concludes with a detailed case study of an electric utility, the nexus of decarbonization in the United States ("U.S.").

VA celebrates the 75th Anniversary of the GI Bill
News Sections: Benefits, Top Stories
Published On: June 21st, 2019|427 words|1.4 min read|
On June 22, 2019, we celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the GI Bill (Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944). The Bill, which was intended to help those returning from service during World War II to transition into civilian life, has been changing the lives of Veterans and their families ever since.
When President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the legislation on June 22, 1944, he wrote, "With the signing of this bill a well-rounded program of special veterans' benefits is nearly completed. It gives emphatic notice to the men and women in our armed forces that the American people do not intend to let them down."
This sweeping legislation made college education and home ownership a possibility for the average American.
The Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 contained the following major provisions:
Education and training costs of up to $500 per year and a stipend for living expenses
VA guaranteed low cost home and business loans
Rehabilitation and job placement programs
Substantial increase in the number of VA hospitals
What happened because of this legislation was unexpected and unprecedented.
Nearly eight million Veterans enrolled in education programs. Colleges and universities were unprepared for the influx of students. Schools quickly added prefabricated buildings for classrooms and housing.
In a few short years, higher education went from something only available to the elite, to an attainable goal for the average American. Many Veteran students were the first in their families to attend college. The number of degrees awarded by U.S. colleges and universities more than doubled between 1940 and 1950.
"Because of this massive effort to educate young people, the United States became the world leader in technology and scientific advances, said Paul R. Lawrence, VA Under Secretary for Benefits. "When we look at the achievements of "The Greatest Generation"–medical advances, new technologies like computers, space travel–we have to attribute this, at least in part, to the GI Bill."
Achieving an education led to the emergence of the middle class with more buying power. With low cost, VA backed home and business loans, Veterans bought homes instead of renting and they started businesses. The "Greatest Generation" was on the way to making the American Dream a reality.
This impact continues today as generations of American Veterans have benefited from this legislation.
Since 1944, VA has paid about $400 Billion in education benefits to more than 25 million beneficiaries.
Over 24 million home loans have been guaranteed by VA since 1944.

Developing nations push for greater South-South cooperation, fighting climate change
By Ali Akbar Dareini, AP
G-77 calls for greater South-South cooperation
UNITED NATIONS — Representatives from developing nations railed at the world's rich nations for failing to fulfill their commitments to increase financial aid, reiterating that developed nations are responsible for challenges like global warming that the poorer nations are now grappling with.
Members of the Group of 77 called Tuesday for better cooperation amongt the world's developing nations and joint action on global challenges such as climate change, food security and poverty to promote their own interests.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit complained that developing countries aren't getting enough aid and don't have the economic clout they deserve.
The "core of the problem," Gheit said, is the "lack of adequate funding as a result of the failure of many developed countries to fulfill their financial commitments."
The Group of 77, which unites 132 mainly developing countries — most of them in the Southern Hemisphere — and China, held a daylong meeting at U.N. headquarters where the chairmanship was handed from Yemen to Argentina.
Undersecretary-General Sha Zukang, who oversees economic and social affairs, pointed to the accelerating degradation of the environment and continuing lack of consensus in the international community on how to deal with climate change.
"Against this backdrop of the multiple crises … the leadership role of the Group of 77 has never become more important," he said.
General Assembly President Joseph Deis said the G-77 represents almost two-thirds of the U.N. member states and is "increasingly being recognized as emerging economic powers."
Deis called for global action to address the challenges and threats a more interdependent world is increasingly facing, including the financial crisis and climate change.
Yemeni Foreign Minister Abubakr al-Qirbi, the outgoing G-77 president, said climate change was an urgent challenge for the group because it "threatens not only our societies' developmental prospects but also their very existence."
Al-Qirbi said cooperation among developing countries has increased "in importance and scope," but compliments rather than substitutes cooperation with developed countries.

Stakeholders urge housing regulation, masterplan
By Chinedum Uwaegbulam
23 July 2018 | 4:12 am
Fresh impetus was added recently to the drive to enhance sustainability in Nigeria's housing and mortgage markets, with stakeholders agitating for housing masterplan for each city in the country.
The newly completed Karsana housing scheme in Abuja
They also called for real estate infrastructure policy that would ensure greater impact in homeownership, especially on site and services schemes. They believe such deliberate policy will reduce the cost of homes and instill investors' confidence as well as ensure effective housing delivery.
The stakeholders, comprising chief executive officers of the real estate companies, institutions, development agencies and government agencies and regulatory bodies, also harped on the need to utilize regulatory measures to closeup the increasing property vacancy rate in cities.
They met at the 12th Abuja International Housing Show(AIHS), where the Ghanaian Deputy Minister of Works and Housing, Mrs Freda Prempeh, urged African countries to boost housing development by exploring local resources to achieve local content.
Prempeh said Africa was endowed with natural resources like timber, clay, mine stones, among others, but were not being harnessed for housing development.
She bemoaned the housing deficit facing the continent, adding that Ghana recorded many housing intervention programmes to reduce housing deficit and achieve Sustainable Development Goal nine and 11.
While calling on African governments to ensure collaboration with private sectors to acquire landmark and provide infrastructure needed for effective housing development, she added, "the housing industry is capital intensive, so we have to be innovative by using different technologies."
Specifically, the Acting Managing Director, Shelter Afrique, Mr. Femi Adewole said that regulations must increasingly play a role in addressing the issue of data. "The market plays a natural role, it must surely gravitate to segments where the returns are higher. Occasionally, you must constrain market players and resources on the direction you want it to go as as a social policy.
"Government should designate some areas where you can only build housing, within a certain price range and approvals will be given to developers that fulfill the criteria. "I mean zoning useful land and regulating its use for either for a low income or medium income housing scheme.
"Secondly, regulating occupancy and use. There is something wrong with having huge chunk of vacant occupancy rate where people are searching for houses. Impose property tax on the houses and lets people fill the pinch. All has a goal of diverting market activities where you want it to be," Adewole said.
Collaborating his view, Prof. Timothy Nubi, the founder and Director, University of Lagos Centre for Housing Studies, stressed the need for control in the housing sector. He recommended for a housing masterplan with a life span of 20 years.
"We're making attempts to get housing data, investors don't need data, we can only use it to prepare a master plan. We must ensure that each city has a housing masterplan,"he said.
The outgoing Managing Director, UPDC, Mr. Hakeem Ogunniran argued that what the industry needed was long-term funding and government's deliberate infrastructure policy on site and services scheme. He also called for an enabling environment by government for property development.
National President, Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN) and board member of AIHS, Ugochukwu Chime urged government to see housing provision as its primary responsibility by making policy framework and creating enabling environment for real estate business to thrive.
He said: "The 1999 Nigerian Constitution, Section 16, under the Fundamental Objectives of State Policy, compels the Nigeria State to provide suitable shelter for all citizens. The need to have access to decent housing at affordable disposal prices ought to the birth right of every Nigerian."
Chime called for a vibrant policy that will accommodate the interests of the financiers/investors, which was not accommodated in the existing laws, policies and processes to unlock the capacity in the real estate industry.
The President, Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), Kashim Ali said that the housing and mortgage sub sector needs intervention in all aspects to ensure that it functions effectively. "While it is very important to ensure that government enact a policy that create efficient housing markets, it is also necessary to have effective housing finance considering it's importance in the operation in the housing markets.

The Pioneer Women's Trail honours the early German women settlers in Hahndorf. The colony of South Australia was barely two years old in 1838, when the first ships arrived with Lutheran refugees from Prussia who were eager to build new lives free from religious persecution.
As soon as the first produce was ready the women of the village started what became a regular 35km trek on foot into Adelaide, carrying their wares. They left Hahndorf in the middle of the night, and arrived in the early morning at the stream in the foothills close to where Beaumont House now stands. There, the women refreshed themselves and rested briefly before continuing the walk to Adelaide.
Take up the challenge: Walk in the footsteps of German pioneer women and men, from Hahndorf to Beaumont House or shorter distances from Bridgewater, Stirling or Eagle on the Hill. Runners are also very welcome.
Commencing at The Hahndorf Institute, the route follows the main road out of Hahndorf, crossing the Onkaparinga River before joining the official trail at Verdun. The trail winds through Bridgewater, following Cox Creek part of the way. After traversing beautiful Mt George Conservation Park the trail detours through Stirling, with its many coffee shops. It continues through Crafers and Cleland Conservation Park, before joining the Old Bullock Track, finally emerging to stunning city views and the descent to Beaumont House in Burnside. Your family and friends can join you there and enjoy refreshments, music and tours of Beaumont House.

Clay Road Bridge
Bridge Documented: June 30, 2006
Clay Road Over Mill Creek
Rural: Ashtabula County, Ohio: United States
1919 By Builder/Contractor: Brookville Bridge Company of Brookville, Ohio
Not Available or Not Applicable
47 Feet (14 Meters)
16 Feet (4.88 Meters)
This is a small Warren pony truss, that retains a high degree of historic integrity. The bridge retains original pole railings. The builder plaque remains on the bridge, crediting the Brookville Bridge Company with building the bridge in 1919. The deck is concrete. Connections on the bridge are riveted. Extensive v-lacing is on the bridge, present under the top chord / end posts, and on the verticals and diagonals. Steel on the bridge was fabricated by Cambria.
Information and Findings From Ohio's Historic Bridge Inventory
Setting/Context
The bridge carries a 1 lane road over a stream in a sparsely developed, rural setting.
The 1 span, 50'-long rivet-connected Pratt pony truss bridge is composed of built-up members and has pipe railings.
Summary of Significance
The 1919 Pratt pony truss is a late example of its type/design with no distinguishing features. It has riveted connections, typical of Pratt trusses from about 1900 to the 1940s when riveted connections began to be phased out in favor of welded connections. This example is not historically significant for its technology or context. More distinguished examples better represent the significance of the type/design in the development of the state's road systems.
Pratt trusses were undoubtedly the most popular truss design of the last quarter of the 19th century and continued to be built into the 20th century, although eventually superseded in popularity by Warren trusses. The design, which initially was a combination of wood compression and iron tension members, was patented in 1844 by Thomas & Caleb Pratt. Ohio has three covered bridges that use this combination configuration, but they are all modern reconstructions based on the Pratt patent. The great advantage of the Pratt over other designs was the relative ease of calculating the distribution of stresses. More significantly, it translated well into an all-metal design in lengths of less than 200'. Significant surviving examples of all-metal Pratt trusses mostly date to the last quarter of the 19th century, and they are found with thru, pony, and the less common bedstead configuration. Prior to about 1890, a variety of panel point connections were in widespread use (including bolts, cast-iron pieces, and pins), but engineering opinion was coalescing around pins as the most efficient and constructible. Many of the connection details were proprietary and associated with individual builders or companies, and thus earlier examples are generally taken to be technologically significant in showing the evolution of the design. Later post-1890 Pratt trusses show a progression toward less variation in their details such that by 1900 the design was quite formulaic with few significant differences between the designs of various builders. This marked the end of the pin-connected Pratt's technological evolution and, in fact, it was soon waning and eclipsed in the highway bridge market by more rigid, rivet-connected truss designs, particularly the Warren but also riveted Pratts. The transition to riveted connections, which happened even earlier with railroads than highways, was in no small part due to concerns about stress reversals at the pins under heavier loads and improvements in pneumatic field riveting equipment in the early 1900s. In Ohio, Pratt truss highway bridges, whether pinned or riveted, were almost always built under the auspices of counties and local units of government; the Pratt was not a standard design of the state highway department.
In Ohio, there are 185 Pratt trusses dating from ca. 1874 to 1945 with at least 60 dating prior to 1900 (Phase 1A, 2008). The technologically significant unaltered examples of pin-connected Pratt trusses for the most part date prior to 1900 and have documented or attributed builders and dates of construction and/or significant connection or member details. Later post-1900 examples are less technologically significant. Significant unaltered examples of riveted-connected Pratt trusses date from ca. 1900 to 1915.

Author of the forthcomingSex is as Sex Does: Transgender Identities, Sex Classification, and the State
Category: Sex Classification
Locker Rooms are the New Bathrooms–Bodily privacy and the opposite sex
May 3, 2018 May 3, 2018 ~ Paisley Currah	~ 3 Comments
Locker rooms are the new bathrooms. Officials in Maryland are in court to keep 16-year-old Max Alexander Brennan out of the boys' locker room. According to the Washington Post, school administrators "have said they must look out for all students, who have a right to 'bodily privacy' and should not be forced to undress in front of the opposite biological sex."
Of course, the idea of "biological sex" is nonsense, and in more than only way. How will these officials define biological sex–as the sex assigned at birth, as a post or "partially" transitioned body, or as gender identity? It's gender identity that's the criterion for M/F classification on drivers' licenses in 32 states, and for US passports. In fact, as I argue in my book, there's no there there when it comes to deciding who is F and who is M. In the past, what sex is depended on what sex does for a particular institution. More recently, it's become a particularly charged site for the re-prosecution of the culture wars. During the Obama administration, gender identity became the metric for F or M in a number of departments, from Education to Housing and Urban Development. The Trump/Pence administration is not so enamored of officials interpreting sex to include gender identity. (Neither were our friends at Jacobin: for them, sex means as assigned at birth until legislators decide otherwise). That's why the Trump/Pence crown has been undoing these regulations wherever they can. At least the feds have zero ability to rollback progressive state policies. (Go states! Yay federalism!)
Still, let's stipulate that biological sex is just one thing (which it's not)–defined, say, by the presence or absence of penises, breasts, or vaginas. Even so, those appendages don't stare at people, people do–1990s SNL skits notwithstanding. Of course, the messiness of a concept like biological sex in no way prevents state actors from using the force of law to clean it up, give it a shave and haircut, and declare that it's simply common sense. Judges, state agencies, legislatures can and do define who is male and who is female. Much as many of us would like to get states out of the business of telling people whether they are women or men or even gender non-binary, we still have a long way to go. But good luck trying to wrest people's gender identity from them. In many of the older cases on sex classification, even judges who found that transsexual women were "really" men, and vice versa, would often use the respectful pronoun. In locker rooms, birth certificates aren't floating around looking for a place to change and a hook for their clothes, people are–with all our complex desires, identifications, and contradictions.
Aside from the nuttiness of worrying about "female" vaginas looking at "male" penises and vice versa, there's a larger problem here. The idea of bodily privacy is important, in itself and also because it can be the springboard for more substantive rights, such as the right to bodily integrity and autonomy. But why is bodily privacy thought only to mandate protection from the presence of the "opposite sex"? Because…heterosexuality, of course, and because of the gender binary that underwrites it, and–this is where the opposition to trans students come in–because of the assumption that sex is what's between your legs. In the ideal locker room of the right, everyone is 100 percent straight, everyone's gender identity matches the sex assigned to them at birth, and no one is looking at anything other than the soap dispenser. ("Keep your eyes to yourself," the locker room etiquette sign–see below–admonishes.) Everyone is equally fit, equally able-bodied, and equally beautiful in each others' eyes. And all the sexualized body parts conform to the Lake Wobegon rule–everyone's bits are (equally) above average. There's no judgment, no comparison, definitely no desire to have or to be another body.
That would be unlike every locker room I've ever been in. While conservatives are worrying about what's underneath my towel, I'm fretting about what's hanging out above it. As someone who is a step or three beyond the dad bod, I'm concentrating on sucking it in on the walk to my locker.
A right to bodily privacy that only cares about hetero/gender normativity, implemented through the blunt instrument of gender segregation–whatever the rule for classifying people as M or F–takes one aspect of our embodiment as its entirety. What about the right to not be seen by people who are fatphobic, by people who think colostomy bag is weird, by people who stare at scars, by people who judge someone for breast pumping, by people revolted by the aging body? Establishing bodily privacy will require much more imagination–and resources–to partially undo the hierarchies of difference established through the architecture of the locker room.
Finally, back to the transgender question–although the right has been scare-mongering about the (non-existent) dangers of transgender people in bathrooms for a few years now, public opinion is moving toward a gender identity standard for bathrooms. But with locker rooms, so-called reasonable people are still very susceptible to the notion that body parts shouldn't be in mixed company. Almost twenty years ago, Congressional Representative Barney Frank, one of the few gay rights advocates in Congress at the time, told trans advocates that "Transgendered people want a law that mandates a person with a penis be allowed to shower with women. They can't get that in ENDA [a federal non-discrimination bill]." That view didn't disappear with Frank's retirement. The locker room is the next phase of the right wing's assault.
What will happen to trans people now?
November 17, 2016 November 17, 2016 ~ Paisley Currah	~ Leave a comment
Here's the short answer: trans people who were already especially vulnerable to discrimination and violence before the election–the homeless, the incarcerated, undocumented immigrants, sex workers, among others–are going to be even more vulnerable. For those with (some of) the security that class, whiteness, ability, employment provides, it's not going to be the apocalypse, but there will be probably be some minor rollbacks and you should definitely get your federal IDs in order. (The National Center for Lesbian Rights has an excellent FAQ on that.) The election shouldn't change our priorities–just as before, we need to focus our activism on the trans people at the margins.
There is no one who has more experience working with government–courts, agencies, legislatures–on trans policy issues than my very good friend Shannon Price Minter. A reporter asked Shannon, who is the Legal Director at the National Center for Lesbian Rights, what he thought trans people should be concerned about now. Here is his answer:
I remain optimistic that we will not see major rollbacks of the gains transgender people have made in the past two decades. Many of those gains are based on federal civil rights statutes and federal court precedent, which cannot be quickly undone. I am also optimistic that the US Supreme Court will affirm that Title IX protects transgender students in the case now pending before them. Many states have also enacted policies and laws protecting transgender people, and social acceptance has reached a critical mass that will only continue to grow. There is much for our country to fear from the incoming administration, but there is no immediate reason to believe that transgender people will be a particular target, though certainly we may lose some executive agency protections and will no longer have a strong champion in the White House.
I am most deeply concerned about the impact of heightened deportation on undocumented transgender people, many of whom have fled life-threatening situations. I am deeply concerned about transgender people on Medicare and Medicaid, and transgender people living with HIV, as proposals to privatize and cut back on these public benefits proliferate in the Republican Party. Many transgender people in this country are living in poverty and hanging by a thread. Any further erosion of our nation's already paper thin safety net will be devastating for many transgender people who have been pushed to the margins of our society. There is also reason for concern about an escalation of police violence against transgender people, and particularly transgender women who are engaged in survival sex work and already face so much often race-based profiling and brutality, both from police and others.
It is distressing to see the far right's elevation of issues around transgender people and restrooms eclipse these broader issues. Like others in our country, transgender people want to be able to live safely, to be able to work and have access to decent healthcare, and to be able to live with dignity. We don't want to be in the crosshairs of a trumped up culture war.
So, there you have it from someone who knows whereof he speaks.
A final word. It's only human to put oneself at the center of things–as a victim, as a hero. But let's try to edit that first draft. If you weren't especially vulnerable before the election, you're still not that vulnerable compared to others in our community. If you're not in the trans "precariat," don't panic, just act. Get your own ID ducks in a row, certainly, and then start to organize and be organized.
Understandably, there's a non-profit money grab going on now. If you can give, give to the organizations that focus on the margins, not on the mainstream.
The new transgender panic: men in women's bathrooms
March 31, 2016 November 6, 2019 ~ Paisley Currah	~ Leave a comment
The "transgender panic" is often deployed by defendants in cases where someone has murdered a transgender woman. Romantic advances or sexual intimacy are usually involved. Like the "gay panic" defense, Cynthia Lee and Peter Kar Yu Kwan point out in a 2014 law review article, the defense is calculated to appeal to the jury's own biases. As a result, in some cases a first degree murder charge may be rejected in favor of lesser charges: second-degree murder or even just voluntary manslaughter. They explain this "provocation defense is based on the idea that certain extreme circumstances might cause the average person to lose his or her self control and react in a fatally violent way. If the provoked killer's loss of self-control is something that an ordinary person in the same situation might experience, the provoked killer is considered less culpable than the average intentional killer, and therefore deserving of some mitigation."
It's not clear if the majority of "ordinary persons" hold this view, but certainly many people do: a law professor doing a training on transgender issues for social service providers was told by one of the attendees: "What I think is a problem is that these transgenders lie and say they're women to get with some man, and then he's got to beat them up" (page 97 of the law review article linked above). In 2014, California banned defense attorneys from invoking the trans panic defense, the first state to do so.
Of course, what animates this logic is a particular cultural trope–the shock of a penis appearing where it is not expected (e.g. Neil Jordan's 1992 film The Crying Game). In the trans panic defense, the context is sexual intimacy. Now, with the recent surge of anti-transgender bills, that trope has migrated from the bedroom to the bathroom. The new rallying cry, from the group that successfully campaigned against Houston's Equal Rights Ordinance to the legislators in North Carolina who passed a bill mandating that individuals use the bathroom that corresponds to the sex indicated on their birth certificate, is "No men in women's bathrooms." And, for these legislators, by men they mean people with penises. And people with penises in women's bathrooms will, naturally, provoke justifiable violence in response. Says North Carolina State Senator David Brock, "You know, $42,000 is not going to cover the medical expenses when a pervert walks into a bathroom and my little girls are there."
The legislation (PDF) was passed in a special emergency session on March 23rd. Legislators had to act fast, they explained, to override a new human rights law passed by the city of Charlotte which would have gone into effect on April 1st. Charlotte's new law included gender identity and gender expression, and, significantly, removed a sex-based exemption from their existing human rights law. Previously, the prohibition against sex discrimination would not apply to restrooms, showers, bathrooms and similar facilities. By removing that section and explicitly including gender identity, Charlotte legislators signaled that access to sex-segregated facilities would be based on gender identity. Another senator described the urgency thus: "Lawmakers were forced to come back to session to address the serious safety concerns created by the dangerous [Charlotte] ordinance…which…created a loophole that any man with nefarious motives could use to prey on women and young children." That there have been no documented cases of transgender people assaulting women or molesting children in bathrooms did not matter to the legislators.
Five days after the bill became law, the American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund filed suit against it, arguing that the law violated the "constitutional and statutory rights to equal protection, liberty, dignity, autonomy and privacy" of LGBT people in the state. (The law also invalidated protections from discrimination based on sexual orientation.) In the original filing, the lawsuit's plaintiffs include two transgender men who both have birth certificates designating them as female. By choosing to feature to transgender men, the lawsuit shows that it's the legislators who have created a situation in which men will use women's bathrooms, not the Charlotte ordinance. (The quotes from the legislators can be found in the lawsuit.)
I understand the strategy: pointing out the unanticipated effects of using "biological sex" as the proxy for gender. Both the transgender men plaintiffs are taking masculinizing hormones. And their secondary sex characteristics (such hair growth on the face, hair loss on the head, musculature, voice) are going to make them seem very out of place in a women's room.
(Another unanticipated effect of the law, not pointed out in the lawsuit: North Carolina does require genital surgery before one's birth certificate can be changed but an ever-increasing number of other states do not. That means that some people will have birth certificates with a gender marker that matches their gender identity without having such surgery. As of now, legally in North Carolina, a trans woman who has not had genital surgery but has had her birth certificate amended in another state will, for the first time in US history, have an affirmative right to use the bathroom that corresponds to her gender identity.)
No doubt poking holes in this bill is fun, it's deconstructive, it shows the impossibility of having the legal category of "sex" or "gender" do the work many want it to, when every jurisdiction, every agency, can have its own rules for re-classifying sex. (This is one of the subjects of my book manuscript, now only six years overdue.)
But is simply identifying inconsistencies enough? In an essay on the contradictory politics of conservatism in Britain, Stuart Hall argues, "in our intellectual way, we think that the world will collapse as a result of a logical contradiction: this is the illusion of the intellectual—that ideology must be coherent, every bit of it fitting together, like a philosophical investigation." Merely highlighting contradictions does not inevitably destroy the political and regulatory work that installs and arranges difference. Pointing out the impossibility of securing gender to the body in a perfectly transparent universal binary will not necessarily conjure away deeply rooted common sense notions of gender's relation to the body, or its equally deeply rooted imbrication in race.
The governor and the legislators are not likely to back down in the face of these inconsistencies. To wit–when Governor McCrory was presented with the situation of a transgender man, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, being forced to use a women's bathroom, he responded: "You know, we all have to make adjustments in life." But what exactly would those adjustments be? To be realistic, most transgender men aren't going to be able to use women's bathrooms, even if the law gives them the right to do so. Tobias Wolfe spells out what "adjustments" really means in the Nation: "The only way these 'bathroom bills' make any sense is to imagine that they will make trans people cease to exist altogether. Supporters of these laws don't want trans dudes to use the ladies' room or trans women in men's rooms. They want to exile trans people, exclude them from the public square, cast them out to some faraway place."
The whole point of the lawsuit is to move the battle from the legislature to the friendlier terrain of the Obama administration and the federal courts. With regard to schools and colleges, the new state law clearly contravenes federal interpretations of Title IX. Perhaps eventually a federal court will find that the law governing bathrooms in state agencies runs afoul of the equal protection clause–though the district court judge assigned to the case is rather conservative.
But what about the larger political situation–the rush to pass these bills, the revanchist moves of state and local Republicans to re-prosecute the culture wars by fomenting transgender panics? And let's not forget the penis. It's telling that no transgender women were among the named plaintiffs. By leaving them out, the legal groups skirted around the crux of the controversy. That may be a reasonable legal strategy, but it's not a political response to a raging conservative anti-trans agenda.
Nor is it a response to the violence wrought upon trans women. Some of that violence is made possible by the same ideas about gender that make the trans panic defense seem reasonable. In 2015, twenty-one trans women were murdered in the United States, and most of them were women of color. And there are probably many many more of these murder victims, who remain uncounted because police departments do not identify them as trans or whose murders are not investigated because authorities and communities consider these lives disposable. At some point, the LGBT movement must stop colluding in the erasure of those lives and find a way to confront the virulent, entrenched misogyny and racism directed as these women. Even in the relatively antiseptic context of impact litigation, the movement could use this litigation to open rather than avoid the question of what underlies the hostility directed at trans women.

Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY … Three Hofstra University students were invited to present their original choreography at two prestigious dance programs in New York City at the start of 2013: the College Partnership Program at New York Live Arts on February 24 and DanceWave's "Kids Café Festival Goes to College" on March 2 and 3.
Every fall, Hofstra dance students present their original choreography to the dance faculty. The students listen to their professors' feedback and continue to develop and revise their work. At the end of the fall semester, there is a final adjudication performance at Hofstra's John Cranford Adams Playhouse. From that, the dance faculty selects two student works to be performed at the College Partnership Program, one student to represent Hofstra at the Kids Cafe Festival and three additional student pieces to be performed at the American College Dance Festival.
This year's College Partnership Program featured works by students from five different dance departments – among them were Hofstra students Julie Seal and Laura Merkel. This was Julie's second time in the program. She performed her original work, "Construct," to music composed by Arthur Solari, Music Director for Hofstra's dance program.
Julie, 21, is a Hofstra senior from Bayport, NY, who is majoring in dance and minoring in psychology. Her choreography was also recently featured in a dance performance at North Shore University Hospital on February 1. She and fellow students performed in memory of their late professor Niles Ford as part of the American Heart Association's 10th annual National Wear Red Day. Julie will next be seen in Hofstra's Spring Faculty Dance Concert in April where she will be performing Bebe Miller's work, "Guardian Angels," restaged by Nancy Duncan, producing director of CoDanceCo, Inc.
Also at the College Partnership Program, Hofstra junior Laura Merkel, 20, of Westerly, RI, presented her choreography – a duet titled "Astasia," performed by Julia Macchio and Brianna Rogers. Astasia is the inability to stand, walk or sit without assistance because of a lack of muscular coordination. Laura says, "Both the concepts of lack of control and assistance are reinforced by a manipulative movement vocabulary that drives the piece." Last spring 2012 Laura was chosen to perform her choreography, "Rue des Cascades," at the American College Dance Festival in Michigan. Laura will also be featured in Hofstra's Spring Dance Concert, in pieces choreographed by Hofstra faculty Stormy Brandenberger and Maxine Steinman.
Junior Brianna Rogers represented the Hofstra Dance Program at the Kids Café Festival at the Kumble Theater of Performing Arts at Long Island University in Brooklyn, March 3. Brianna, 21, a resident of Nashua, NH, is majoring in both dance and Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences.
She says the goal of the Kids Café Festival is to expose New York area high school students to college dance programs. "Many students at this point in their lives are wondering if they should continue to dance and have many questions about what dancing in college is like." The Festival allows the college students to share their experience studying and performing dance on the college level, and also to perform their original choreography for the high schoolers. Brianna presented her work "Wayfaring" at the Festival.
Like Julie and Laura, Brianna will also perform in the 2013 Spring Faculty Dance Concert, where she will perform a modern dance piece choreographed by Hofstra faculty member Maxine Steinman.

Besides the difference in root inherent traits, the vetiver roots also has elastic cortex, particularly aerenchyma sandwiched between the soil and vascular cylinder, which would be able to alleviate the radial pressure from soil compaction.

Both treatments occurred in the early summer months (May to July), a period early enough to avoid extreme fire hazard conditions but late enough so that soils are not saturated with moisture -- operating when soils are relatively dry is a best management practice for avoiding compaction.
These conditions increase the compaction effort with a specific energy of about 2.

The stream compaction (stream reduction) is an important algorithmic function, a primitive building block, useful in many algorithms that benefit from the massive parallelism.
The sensor measures changes in sand compaction, which is affected by the mechanics of the vibration system, including motor and linkage wear, changes in the sand properties (fine content and loss on ignition percentage), and environmental changes (temperature and humidity).

Home News Leica Q2 Monochrom full-frame monochrome camera launched in India for Rs. 4,11,000
Leica Q2 Monochrom full-frame monochrome camera launched in India for Rs. 4,11,000
Sovan Mandal
How about a camera that costs as much as a decent entry-level hatchback? That's the way it is with the new Leica Q2 Monochrom that is priced Rs. 4,11,000 here in India excluding GST, which means the final price is going to be even more.
However, there sure is a lot that the new Q2 Monochrom has to offer in terms of picture clarity and everything else, even if all of it is limited to just two colours – black and white. Technically, the new Q2 can be considered further evolution over the Leica Q2 full-frame camera that the company had introduced back in March 2019.
However, unlike the Leica Q2, the Q2 Monochrom comes with just a black and white image sensor. That makes it to operate in an extremely niche segment and is likely to be picked up by those who know what they are up to and have more than a fair bit of knowledge about monochrome photography. That way, the new Q2 Monochrom is in the league of the M10 Monochrom that too shoots in black and white.
Coming to its specs, the Q2 Monochrom comes across as a fixed lens camera with a 47.3-megapixel CMOS monochrome sensor that has been designed specifically for it. The sensor however works in collaboration with the Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH. prime lens that we have seen on the Leica Q2 range.
The monochrome sensor also ensures the camera is capable of ISO 100,000 max. The autofocus is improved so that it can lock onto the subject in just 0.15 secs. There is a digital zoom function of up to a max of 75 mm. Other features of the camera include a 3-inch TFT touchscreen along with an OLED viewfinder having a 3.68 MP resolution.
Video capabilities include the ability to shoot 4K videos at 30 fps or 24 fps. Besides, it can shoot Full HD videos at frame rates of 120, 60, 30, or an even lower 24 fps. All of this is achieved with a 28 mm F1.7 fixed prime lens that is made of 11 elements in 9 groups and 3 aspherical elements.
Also, it being a monochrome camera, the menus are a lot simpler as there only are settings relevant to black and white images. That includes only three colour filers – blue, sepia, and selenium that apply to monochrome photography. Everything else shares a lot of similarities with the company's standard Q2 range of cameras.
There also is the Leica FOTOS App that the company offers, and which can be used to share your pictures on social media or anywhere else easily. For this, the camera also features an integrated Wi-Fi module as well which makes it possible for the camera to communicate with the app seamlessly. You have the option to change various camera settings along with even the shutter release, which can be actuated via the app. The Bluetooth LE lets the camera to have a permanent connection between the camera and the smartphone.
The new Leica Q2 Monochrom is available for sale from the Leica Store India, Connaught Place, New Delhi. It can also be ordered online via the company's online store in India.
