Communicable Diseases Intelligence, Volume 26, Issue number 2 - June 2002 /
The National Public Health Partnership
This article published in Communicable Diseases Intelligence Volume 26, No 2, June 2002 contains a description of the National Public Health Partnership, which was established in 1996 through a Memorandum of Understanding between the State, Territory and Commonwealth Health Ministers.
The National Public Health Partnership was established in 1996 through a Memorandum of Understanding between the State, Territory and Commonwealth Health Ministers. It is the peak intergovernmental forum on public health issues reporting directly to the Australian Health Ministers Advisory Council (AHMAC).
The Partnership group members include senior public health officials from the States, Territories and the Commonwealth health departments and representatives of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare and the National Health and Medical Research Council. A representative of the Ministry of Health of New Zealand attends Partnership meetings as an observer. The Partnership has an advisory group of representatives of peak non-government and professional organisations with an interest in Public Health, and the chair of the Advisory Group also attends Partnership meetings.
In the early years of its work the Partnership focused its attention on public health infrastructure issues such as information, public health practice and planning issues, workforce issues, research and legislative reform and established the National Public Health Information Working Group and the Legislative Reform Working Group.
In 1999 a decision was made by AHMAC that all public health committees reporting to AHMAC would become committees of the Partnership, hence the then Communicable Diseases Network Australia New Zealand became a sub committee of the Partnership and a member of the Partnership was appointed as the Chair of the Network.
This decision coincided with a general shift in the Partnership's agenda to include specific priority public health issues along with issues of public health practice and infrastructure. The Partnership now has a number of subcommittees addressing the range of public health priority issues in addition to Communicable Diseases Network Australia (CDNA), including:
enHealth Council, addressing environmental health matters;
SIGNAL, the Strategic Intergovernmental Nutrition Alliance;
SIGPAH, the Strategic Intergovernmental Forum on Physical Activity;
IPP, the Strategic Injury Prevention Partnership;
CHIP, the Child and Youth Health Intergovernmental Partnership; and
PHGWG, the Public Health Genetics Working Group.
The Partnership has always sought to work in partnership with other key groups and has joint working groups in general practice, mental health and healthy ageing with other key national bodies.
The Partnership has a number of major ongoing projects including:
Development of the Public Health Evidence Schema. This project is developing a schema for considering evidence in relation to public health interventions which is broader than assessment based on a hierarchy of evidence more suitable for clinical practice and more readily addresses issues such as context.
Development of public health performance indicators. A consultation process is currently underway in the States and Territories to assess appropriate indicators for public health for inclusion in national health performance reporting.
The Public Health Expenditure Project which reports on expenditure in a number of categories of public health practice across the States, Territories and the Commonwealth.
Development of a framework for public health workforce studies.
A project to develop guidelines for National Public Health Strategies to improve their capacity to address Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health issues.
In addition, each sub-committee has an extensive work program.
A review was conducted of the Partnership's activities over the first 5 years of its operations. This review reported to AHMAC in February 2002. At that meeting AHMAC endorsed the Partnership's continuing operation for the next 5 years and endorsed a framework for its agenda and priorities. The current Chair of AHMAC, Dr Rob Stable from Queensland, was appointed as Chair of the Partnership from June this year.
Communicable diseases remain a key priority for the Partnership under its new work program. The CDNA is strongly supported by the Partnership with project funds for some key initiatives of CDNA being funded through a cost sharing arrangement between Partnership members.
A number of key themes have been endorsed to guide the work of all sub-groups of the partnership over the next few years. These themes include:
addressing health inequalities through public health programs and interventions;
improving the quality of public health practice;
engaging effectively with non-government organisations, key experts, major national structures and key consumer groups;
strengthening the evidence for public health interventions;
integrating key risk groups, settings and priority areas into all work programs;
collaborating and priority setting in public health research; and
regulatory reform.

Love Worth Finding - February 20, 2012
<< Adrian Rogers' Daily Devotionals
Holding Back—Nothing!
"She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint My body to the burying." Mark 14:8
Mary loved Jesus so much that she gave all she had. She didn't just pour out a little perfume to anoint Him, she gave it all (see Mark 14:3-9). She couldn't put that perfume back in the bottle. She had broken it! Maybe it was her inheritance or hope chest. She didn't hold back any for a rainy day or her retirement.
Most of us would have said, "Lord, I would like to give You a little of this perfume. It cost me a year in wages, so I can't give it all to You. But I want You to have some of it to show You how much I love You."
Does this speak to your heart as much as it does mine? Confess, "Lord, I'm not willing to break the alabaster box. Forgive me. Enable me to give my all. Here I am. Take all of me."

Q: How to implement video DRM in iOS I'm looking to implement DRM in an iOS video player, but I'm not sure how to implement this. In order to implement video DRM (while still using Apple's hardware accelerated H264 decode), I need a way to feed the decrypted H264 stream into the standard iOS video playback APIs.
According to this question, it was not possible to implement 3rd party DRM in September 2010. There's a thread in the Apple Developer Forums that goes nowhere. However, as of today a number of 3rd party DRM libraries exist: Widevine, Irdeto (PDF), Marlin. They have clearly found some way to pass a custom stream to the media player in Apple approved apps.
I've found two leads. One is a suggestion to create a custom URL protocol, but people seem to have poor success using this with video. The other is to create a local HTTP server thread and provide the content by HTTP live streaming on 127.0.0.1 inside the iDevice. I'd like to be very sure that Apple will approve before going that route.
So - what Apple approved APIs do 3rd party DRM implementations use to get decrypted video data into the video player?
Edit: the latest BBC iPlayer for iOS allows programmes to be downloaded for later viewing. Either they store the content in the clear, or they have cracked this problem.

A: You can begin decrypting the file into another file and playback that file as you decrypt. You'll need to let it buffer a few seconds worth of video, but it will work.
Additionally you'll need to make sure that the moov atom is BEFORE the mdat atom in the file, otherwise it won't work.  (AVFoundation, for example, creates MP4s where the moov atom comes after the mdat atom, and so they would need to be modified to work)

A: A working solution is local http server. But the patent application was submitted by Authentec.

The 5 Top Facebook Music Apps
While Facebook seems increasingly to be an adult network of anyone over age 25, it still has over a billion users worldwide, and a number of them frequently listen to music on the service. The analytics site MetricsMonk determined that the top 10 Facebook music apps have around 74 million active monthly users, which is around 33% more than last year. Here are the top 5:
1. Spotify - 33 million
2. Pandora - 8 million
3. Soundcloud - 7.8
4. Deezer - 7.8 million
5. iHeartRadio - 4 million
The big winner here is Spotify, as it almost doubled its users from last year, while Pandora ominously shed users by more than half. The big trend though, seemed to be towards services like Songza and 8Track that provided more personalized streaming, although none of those services even remotely challenges Spotify at this time.
That said, the latest numbers (as of May 1, 2013) state that there are over 1.13 billion active monthly users of Facebook. If less than a tenth of them get their music through the service, then these numbers may not be anything to get excited about. Yes, they're increasing, but there doesn't seem to be a challenge to the standalone streaming services by Facebook in the cards anytime soon.

Is Music Discovery All It's Cracked Up To Be?
To many in the music tech community, the holy grail of online music involves music discovery. As a matter of fact, some within the industry feel that the music business' future depends on it. That's why any company that has "discovery" as a feature suddenly becomes a hot investor attraction even as investors grow wary of the music industry.
The reason why some think that discovery is the future is many feel that's the best way to grow the industry. Instead of listeners recycling their listening with more or less the same songs from years past as well as a smattering of songs from today that are high on the charts, any way that exposes a listener to something new means that there's a new potential sale, either from buying music, merch or concert tickets.
While that certainly seems plausible, one has to wonder just how much better the current discovery algorithms can get, and if an improvement is really all that necessary. In an interesting article on Hypebot last week, a number of industry vets were asked their views on the subject, and they had some interesting insights.
In the article Jay Frank, the author of Future Hit. DNA (a great resource for anyone in the music business) postulates that music discovery is overrated, since it appeals to only a limited segment of listeners, the ones actively looking for something new, to begin with. That, of course, limits the widespread usefulness of such an algorithm considerably.
Where once upon a time you were exposed to new music on the radio whether you wanted to be or not, today we have too many choices for that to happen as much (even though radio is still the largest form of music discovery, with YouTube far behind). In fact, so much of music discovery still comes from word-of-mouth. If all of your friends rave about the new Daft Punk album, of course you're going to check it out. If you hear mixed reviews, you're less likely to take a listen unless you're overwhelmed by the media exposure (think the last Justin Timberlake album). With a discovery algorithm, you might be exposed to something new, but will that single listen to a single song be enough?
While an improved music discovery algorithm might still be the holy grail for some, it doesn't seem likely that it will change the music business as much as some hope it will.

Is Vimeo Better Than YouTube?
YouTube is the undeniable king of the hill when it comes to online video hosting, but it's far from the only game in town. At last count there were over 90 other sites doing roughly the same thing, which you can see at all-video-sites.com. While most of these sites were very specific in their content, a number of them are a catch-all, open to anything that one might post, as is YouTube.
There is a competitor to YouTube that doesn't open its arms quite as wide, which in many cases makes it a better choice for the serious artist or videomaker. That's Vimeo, which gets 70 million unique visitors a month that are generally more engaged that what you'll find watching the competition.
One of the advantages of Vimeo is that the content is generally up a notch or two from YouTube, with fewer cat and baby videos. Add to that a streamlined layout that allows you to find and watch what you want a lot easier, and you can see why it's preferred by many after they try it.
One of the best reasons to watch on Vimeo though, is that it's advert free, which won't make money for the content creator but sure is better for the viewer. Let's face it; no one likes to wait for a pre-roll commercial before you get to the video you want to check out.
A basic membership is free and allows you to upload one HD video per week or 500meg of storage. The downside is that your uploaded videos are subject to banner ads, the ability to make a video private is turned off, and the analytics package is pretty basic. Upgrade to Vimeo Plus for $9.95 a month and those limitations are lifted. If you're a pro, you can upgrade to a Vimeo Pro account for $199 per year that basically ups the game by providing better video quality, more storage and bandwidth, and the ability to monetize your content.
You might not want to change completely from YouTube, but Vimeo offers a lot - for a price. Then again, with a service like OneLoad, you can upload to a number of platforms and have a presence across all of them. After all, there's nothing like a video everywhere to raise your profile.

Facebook's 3D Music Map
One of the cool things about the online world is the variety of measurement tools that are available, and the fact that new ones are being created all the time. Take for instance the 3D music map that Facebook commissioned Stamen Design to come up with.
In the following video, you'll see a number of views of the 90 day viral spread of 3 songs on Facebook; Will.i.am and Britney Spear's "Scream And Shout," Macklemore and Ryan Lewis "Thrift Shop," and Swedish House Mafia's "Don't You Worry Child." Check out how "Scream and Shout" starts to go viral in Miami and New York first before it spreads, and how "Don't You Worry Child" surges in Texas in the middle of February.
While this is just a test of the technology, I can see how a more real time version could be useful to record label marketing departments and agents, as they could see the hot spots of a song's activity and be able to respond with a greater artist presence in the area. For now, it's just a cool video (with no audio, by the way).
The map is part of Facebook Stories, a blog that looks at different ways that people use the social network.

Predicting Retweets
What if you could determine how many retweets you'd have before you even sent the tweet? It probably would change the way you compose your tweet and use Twitter for promotion.
Up until now, most marketers depended upon data that suggests either the best time of day, or the best hashtags to use (or a combination of both) to get a feel for what their tweet might do in the wild. That might all change, as an MIT professor has now created a computer model that predicts the number of retweets in its entire lifetime after only a couple of minutes of retweet activity.
"A lot of people felt that Twitter usage was totally random and unpredictable, that it was all just noise," stated Sloan School of Management assistant professor Tauhid Zaman in an article in the LA Times. "But it turns out that there is a systematic, repeatable behavior that you can model." Who knew?
You can actually see the model in action on his website Twouija: the Retweet Oracle, which is a twist on the old physical Ouija board. The site shows a number of tweets from celebrities and shows, as well as how well they match his predictions.
While on the surface this might seem like a boon to anyone who does promotion via Twitter, I don't think the model by itself adds much in terms of promotion, since you have to actually release the tweet first before it can predict what it will do. By correlating that data over time though, it might provide some better clues as to the parameters that make a tweet more "retweetable."
That said, I can tell you that without any of the fancy computer models or predictions. Just write something worth retweeting.

Home Mix The song "The Girl of Neighbors" by Egyptian singer Hassan Shakoush is...
The song "The Girl of Neighbors" by Egyptian singer Hassan Shakoush is a surprising success on the SoundCloud and YouTube websites.
On the noise of a crowded street, a driver (a three-wheeled motor vehicle) waited in front of a spinning factory until customers boarded his vehicle, in a popular Cairo neighborhood in Shubra El-Kheima, north of the capital.
The driver named Wael raised the voice of the song player on one song he repeated several times, which is the song "Bint Al Jeeran", which belongs to what is known in Egypt as "songs of festivals." Her words drew the attention of passers-by among those who enjoyed it and were upset with it.
But perhaps Wael and his fellow drivers who keep hearing this color of songs during their work day may not know that last week is considered the most prominent in the history of Egyptian "songs of festivals". The song "Bint Al-Jeeran", by artist Hassan Shakoush, ranked second in the list of materials. The most listened to the famous "SoundCloud" site, with more than five million listeners in one week, more than 45 million listeners in total, as well as more than 70 million views on YouTube.
The song "Bint Al Jeeran" has surpassed other international songs and syllables, most notably a recent song by the famous American businessman "Elon Musk", which came in eighth place, not only this, but Shakosh also surpassed Musk with another song called "Shams of the Galaxy" – with the participation of the singer The famous Egyptian in this type of songs "Hamou Beca" – which ranked seventh on the same list.
Wael tells the BBC that he listens to this "festival" by singer Hassan Shakoush and other festivals, during his working hours, and adds: "This type of songs attracts the attention of customers and helps to work in focus without getting bored," explaining that it is not possible to listen to festival songs with a voice Khafar, justified by saying that most people in this region wrote songs for festivals years ago.
He sings at the "Girl's Neighbor" festival with his friend Omar Kamal, Shakosh, and the words of the song composed by Mostafa Hadouta in the neighbor's girl, and show the extent of attachment to it, to the point that abandoning him will cause him to lose his way and drink "wine and hashish."
The songs of the festivals appeared in Egypt about a decade and a half ago among the youth from the working and middle classes, in the popular areas, some means of transportation, and the popular wedding parties, but it attracted a larger audience than the listeners from other classes during the past five years.
The singers of festivals, most of whom have not studied singing academically, resort to young authors who write words, most of them inspired to live in popular places, and then compose them electronically, while adding some sound effects to them.
YouTube Shield
Commenting on the arrival of the second-generation "Bint Al Jeeran" festival on SoundCloud in the last week, Hassan Shakoush says that "thanks to my mother's invitations" and the support of friends and loved ones.
"I was sleeping, and I woke up to phone calls from my friends and acquaintances congratulating the song, the girl of neighbors, for the second place on the famous site," Shakosh said, in a press statement to a local newspaper posted on his Facebook page.
Shakush was a football player at the Ismaili Club, which represents the city of Ismailia in eastern Egypt, and says that he left football forcibly because he did not get an adequate money, before he went to sing festivals ten years ago, explaining that he had fulfilled his father's dream of becoming a famous football player or singer .
The official Shakoush channel on YouTube crossed the one million subscriber barrier a few days ago, and the site presented it with a shield on this occasion, which he will receive this week.
While Shakosh said that he is a member of the Syndicate of Musical Professions, the Syndicate says that he is not yet so, even though he applied for membership in the Syndicate recently and performed the necessary tests, but the results of these tests have not yet emerged, according to union officials.
The Syndicate of Musical Professions in Egypt, the authority authorized to grant permits to sing in the country, banned 16 festivals from singing, or holding any parties, and refused to join the union.
Tariq Murtada, a spokesman for the Musicians Syndicate, told the BBC that we should not support this kind of phenomenon that has nothing to do with art, adding, "This is a regret and unfortunately it has become a lot of people."
Mortada adds that "facing this type of phenomenon is through the provision of serious and meaningful art and its support," saying that there are palaces from the state and from the musicians that allowed the spread of the phenomenon of festival songs.
Responding to the reasons for achieving festival songs for all these millions of listeners, Murtada explained, "The public lacks good art because of the lack of positive talents in the music singing market."
The union warned of a deterrent punishment, which is imprisonment from one to three months, and a fine of 10 to 50 thousand pounds, against any of them if they participate in singing concerts, and whoever facilitates their participation in singing.
The popular Egyptian song, "Shams Al Majara", ranked seventh on the SoundCloud website this week
Cliche mother An extension of folk art?
The songs of the festivals, since their appearance, raise a lot of controversy in Egypt, between those who consider it a extortionate type of songs that offends the public taste and constitutes a negative impact on the youth, and between those who see it as a natural extension of folk art that meets the demands of the recipient and the listener, and which he chooses voluntarily and not others.
However, the spread of listening to festive songs outside Egypt created a third kind between the two teams, which calls for training festive song artists and benefiting from their wide spread as a "soft power".
Mohamed Saqr, a music critic, says that this type of musical art "comes out of a real reality, and the audience listens to it despite its simplicity because it is consistent with reality and places its hand on the problems of the simple."
Saqr adds in an interview with the BBC that the phenomenon of festival songs can last for years, and it is not a negative phenomenon as some people imagine it, but rather it is a different kind of art.
Saqr explains that "against festivals by preventing and warning, and that the way to confront art is with another art that reaches the audience better."
Recently, party organizers began hiring festivals' singers to sing at major hotels and popular restaurants, and to travel abroad to celebrate parties.
Khaled Montaser, an Egyptian doctor and writer, says that the songs of the festivals have become a great controversy, and he asks: "Is it a phenomenon that we must absorb and march and accept, and more importantly study it? Are they the reason for the decline in taste as it is said, or is the taste descended by those songs?" Are these songs a cause or a result?
Montaser adds that some object to these festivals, considering that the audience's dance when heard is not an excuse to judge it as bad. Here, the response will be: What is the criterion of mediocrity? If you mean the words, the words of the most famous American songs are of low value and trivial, and your response may be: The banality is different On simplicity, their songs are simple, not trivial, etc. ", according to Montaser.
Most of the festival's songs revolve around the problems of poverty, marginalization, drugs and friendship, and have gradually expanded to include school and university students during the past few years.

I made this card to with my new stamps by PTI and to try out the paper piecing technique which I have grown to love so much lately. This card can be made with limited supplies like some patterned paper, stamps and cardstock.
Start with an 8.5x11 sheet of cardstock and using a paper trimmer cut in half vertically to make it 4.25x11 and score in the middle and fold to get a standard size card 4.25 x 5.50.This is the base card .
Layer different shades and hues and patterns to create an interesting design . This is where a patterned paper pad comes handy since all the papers are coordinated .
For the center focal point, start by stamping the chairs , once on a seprate piece of white cardstock and again on different patterned paper, cut them out and adhere it to the stamped chairs on the white piece. Do the same with the lampshade . The cushions are on foam adhesive to give some depth, stamp and color the area rug under the chairs with markers.
Stamp the sentiment. In this particular card I used a technique called selective inking where I inked part of a stamp to create the sentiment I needed. To do that you could either carefully ink part of a stamp with a small ink pad or markers or as I did use some tape to cover the portion of the stamp to be blocked out, ink the stamp , remove the tape and stamp.
Finally draw the lines with black micro tip pen.
Adhere this panel with foam adhesive to the base card and we are done.
I am a self-taught artist who loves to make oil paintings and create beautiful watercolors. Over the last decade, I have branched out into papercrafting and this has now turned into a passion. I love to create something new everyday.

Kalcijum nitrat (Norveška šalitra), je neorgansko jedinjenje sa formulom -{Ca(NO3)2}-. Ova bezbojna so apsorbuje vlagu iz vazduha i obično se nalazi u obliku tetrahidrata.

On se uglavnom koristi kao komponenta đubriva mada ima i druge primene. Nitrokalcit je ime minerala koji je po sastavu hidratisani kalcijum nitrat. On se formira kao eflorescens na mestima gde je stajsko đubrivo u kontaktu sa betonom u suvoj sredini. Niz srodnih soli je poznat, među kojima su kalcijum amonijum nitrat dekahidrat i kalcijum kalijum nitrat dekahidrat.

Proizvodnja i reaktivnost
Kalcijum nitrat je bio prvo sintetičko azotno đubrivo. Proizvodnja je počela u Notodenu u Norveškoj 1905. Najveći deo svetske proizvodnje kalcijum nitrata u današnje vreme dolazi iz Porsgruna, Norveška.

On je proizvodi tretiranjem krečnjaka sa azotnom kiselinom, čemu sledi neutralizacija amonijakom:
-{CaCO3 + 2 HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + CO2 + H2O}-

On je takođe nuzprodukt nitrofosfatnog procesa za ekstrakciju kalcijum fosfata:
-{Ca3(PO4)2 + 6 HNO3 + 12 H2O → 2 H3PO4 + 3 Ca(NO3)2 + 12 H2O}-

On se može pripremiti iz vodenog rastvora amonijum nitrata, i kalcijum hidroksida:
-{2 NH4NO3 + Ca(OH)2 → Ca(NO3)2 + 2 NH4OH}-

Poput srodnih zemnoalkalnih metalnih nitrata (kao i -{LiNO}-3), kalcijum nitrat se razlaže nakon zagrevanja uz oslobađanje azot dioksida:
-{2 Ca(NO3)2 → 2 CaO + 4 NO2 + O2 ΔH = 369 kJ/mol}-

Despite Blu-ray players becoming more popular, the humble DVD is still by far the best selling format. When you consider that the latest upscaling DVD players like the Toshiba SD-390 can offer near high definition quality at such good value prices, it's not hard to see why.
The Toshiba SD-390 DVD Player is a solid looking unit with a great deal to offer the home cinema fan who wants to obtain every last bit of quality out of their DVD collection. The unit looks high quality, and although that impression is slightly dashed on closer inspection, the 390 is still a well built machine. Round the back there is a comprehensive set of connections with an single HDMI, component, digital co-axial and scart sockets.
The player is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and DTS sound, and with 1080p upscaling the player produces a stunning near high definition quality picture, so you can enjoy your DVD collection all over again!
This player cannot play DivX files, so if this is a necessity, you should look further up the Toshiba range, such as the SD-490.

Internace je pojem, který v plném významu označuje nucené uvěznění osoby a její držení na určitém místě nebo na omezeném prostoru po určitou dobu; zpravidla z politických, náboženských, etnických či jiných společenských příčin. Internace jsou prováděny do různých internačních zařízení respektive internačních táborů různých typů (zajatecký tábor, koncentrační tábor, imigrační komplex, klasická věznice, odlehlý ostrov, sportovní stadion, městské ghetto apod.). Internováni však mohou být i nežádoucí imigranti případně jiné nežádoucí osoby na území státu.

V mezinárodním právu
V mezinárodním právu je internací nazýván stav, kdy v době války mezi dvěma státy dojde k omezení svobodného pohybu (spojené popřípadě s omezením dalších osobních svobod) u občanů nepřátelského státu. Postup při internaci a práva internovaných osob upravují Ženevské úmluvy na ochranu obětí války. Příkladem je například omezení pohybu osob japonské národnosti po území USA během druhé světové války (viz Americké internační tábory pro Japonce), jednalo se tehdy i o zvláštní internaci, jež – údajně z bezpečnostních důvodů – zahrnovala i řádné státní příslušníky Spojených států amerických.

V českém právu
V Česku zajišťuje svobodu pohybu a pobytu listina základních práv a svobod ve svém článku 14. Tentýž článek stanovuje, že omezit tyto svobody je možné pouze v mimořádných situacích a pouze zákonem. Tím je například zákon o zajišťování obrany České republiky, který v § 53 mimo jiná omezení nařizuje za stavu ohrožení státu nebo válečného stavu pobývat v přikázaném místě, přičemž místní, osobní a časovou působnost tohoto opatření nařizuje vláda.

Příklady internací
 internace Karla Havlíčka Borovského v Brixenu
 internace válečných zajatců v zajateckých táborech během první i druhé světové války
 internace Židů za druhé světové války v městských ghettech (například Terezín, Varšava, Lodž) či v koncentračních táborech (viz holokaust)
 internace etnických Japonců civilistů v koncentračních táborech zřízených režimem ve Spojených státech amerických za 2. světové války.
 v době komunistického režimu v Československu
 internace biskupů a kněží katolické církve
 internace řeholníků katolické a řeckokatolické církve v internačních klášterech, přeškolovacích střediscích a táborech nucených prací
 internace řeholnic v internačních klášterech

Maria Klawe: The Missing Part Of The Satya Nadella Story
education, female economic bubbles, Geeks, Nerds, & STEM, technology 4 Responses »
There has been a missing part to the Satya Nadella story, and that is Maria Klawe. Maria Klawe is the woman who asked Satya Nadella the question about how women should ask for raises. It's likely you haven't heard much if anything about her. Part of the reason for that is that she hasn't spoken out much since the Satya Nadella story broke. Who is Maria Klawe? She's a member of the Microsoft board of directors and the president of Harvey Mudd College. It is highly probable Klawe is the reason that Nadella was even at the Grace Hopper conference about women in computing in the first place. In an interview, Klawe said that she regularly brings female Harvey Mudd students to it every year, and that this action has spread to companies like Microsoft.
Given that Klawe is likely responsible for Satya Nadella wasting his time at a women in computing conference and asked him the question about women asking for raises, Klawe is at least partially responsible for the uproar about Satya Nadella. Given that she is on the Microsoft board of directors and is supposed to have a good working relationship with Nadella, one would expect her to do something to defend Nadella. If Klawe wasn't on the Microsoft board of directors, she would still have a moral responsibility to help defend Nadella. However, since she is on the Microsoft board of directors, Klawe has a responsibility to defend Nadella as a member of Microsoft's board of directors in addition to her moral responsibility. Her lack of serious action in this case is endangering Microsoft. People are calling for Satya Nadella's resignation based on a butchered quote in the media. In addition, a lot of the demands for Satya Nadella to resign are being driven by anti-Indian racism and xenophobia. If nothing else she should be speaking out against that. For all these reasons Klawe should do something to defend Nadella. This situation proves that she is willing to sacrifice the best interests of Microsoft when a "women's issue" comes up. Whether it's wasting the time of Microsoft executives at a bogus women in computing conference or defending Microsoft against baseless media attacks, Klawe is clearly unwilling to take her responsibilities as a Microsoft board member seriously. Microsoft shareholders should start demanding Klawe's resignation since she is endangering Microsoft.
This is not a unique situation for Klawe. As president of Harvey Mudd College, she has similarly focused on "women's issues" to the detriment of the college. Klawe is praised for raising the percentage of women in its computer science program. Since it is safe to assume that the number of seats in its computer science program was not expanded, women replaced more qualified men. How can we know this? The introductory course for computer science was broken up into three sections, the first section for people with no experience in computer science, the second section for people with a little experience in computer science, and the third for people with lots of experience in computer science. Given that computer science programs tend to have a high percentage of people with at least some prior experience in the subject matter, people (mostly men) with prior experience had to be discriminated against in admissions for people (mostly women) with no prior experience. (While most of the victims of this policy are men, some women will be victims too. It is likely that foreign born women, who are more likely than women on average, to have prior experience with computer science will be discriminated against for American born women with no experience in computer science.) It is difficult to come up with another situation where prior experience and a desire to learn some of a subject on your own is considered bad. Yet, that seems to now be the case with Harvey Mudd's computer science program.
The problem at Harvey Mudd goes beyond who is admitted into their computer science program. People who ask too many questions (most likely to be men) in computer science classes at Harvey Mudd get told to stop asking so many questions about "arcane details" in class. This is done because other students (presumably women) found such questions "intimidating". Supposedly, students with questions about "arcane details" can just ask questions after class, but the net effect of this policy is that students will be less likely to ask questions of their instructors. (From an academic freedom perspective, this is particularly disturbing. Anytime an instructor or Harvey Mudd College wants to shut someone up, they can just accuse them of "intimidating women".) Personally, when I was getting my degree in computer science, I learned a lot from men who were asking a lot of questions about "arcane details" both inside and outside of class. They definitely improved the education I received. Thus, Harvey Mudd students in computer science are now receiving an inferior education.
Defenders of these policies will say that they are designed to bring "equality" or some such to Harvey Mudd's computer science program. However, 54% of Harvey Mudd's seniors in engineering majors are female. Given that the percentage of computer science seniors at Harvey Mudd is less than 40%, even after Maria Klawe's "reforms", other engineering majors must be significantly more than 50% female to get a 54% average across all engineering majors. Where are the policies and programs to bring more men into those engineering majors that are more than 50% female at Harvey Mudd? There aren't any, obviously. What has been done at Harvey Mudd is to make the college more hostile to men by discriminating against students with prior experience and students likely to ask a lot of questions. Maria Klawe has helped turn Harvey Mudd's computer science program from a first rate program to a third rate program just so more women could benefit. Just as Maria Klawe is endangering the future of Microsoft, she is also endangering the quality of education at Harvey Mudd.

Here is a picture from an anti-Wells Fargo protest at Macalester college:
What is missing from this picture? Men. The only men in it are the man at the desk who is working there and not part of the protest and some kid who looks like he actually there to see a professor or something like that (and possibly not a part of the protest). He's also not screaming like the rest of the women so that makes it more likely he really isn't part of the protest.
Where are the men? As men are expected to work, they don't have time for pointless and meaningless protests like this. Many men aren't there because they decided not to go to college after realizing its an anti-male cesspool where protests like these double as protests against men. (When these girls protest Wells Fargo, they only see the executives, the apex of Wells Fargo, which they imagine to be all men.) Some of these men may be working to repair damage from superstorm Sandy, a job women aren't doing. Men who are going to college major in useful areas of study that require real work like STEM. Those men are in class or studying since they actually have to work for their grades unlike the girls above who are probably majoring in feminist basket weaving where they will get an automatic A for having a vagina.
Why are the men missing from this picture? Because they have to work. Because they don't have a vagina and thus don't get free stuff.

The Spearhead: The Decline And Fall Of Antioch College
education, saturday night live, sexual harassment, the spearhead No Responses »
My latest post for The Spearhead is up. As with all Spearhead posts comments are disabled so comment on the post at The Spearhead.
In my last post I predicted that the University of Cincinnati would collapse due to its embrace of feminism and leftism at the expense of real scientific disciplines like computer science. Several comments brought up the example of Antioch College which had collapsed due to its embrace of feminism and leftism.
Antioch College was originally founded in 1853 in Ohio by the Christian Connection movement and the Unitarian Church. Beginning in the 1940s it became a hotbed of progressivism and one of the first colleges to experience leftist student activism. This continued to the 1960s when Antioch College became one of the primary locations of student radicalism, the New Left, the anti-Vietnam War movement, and the Black Power movement in that part of the US. The 1970s were more of the same for Antioch College, but it expanded to include several satellite campuses under the name of Antioch University. In the late 1970s Antioch College started having problems with its finances and experienced a decline in enrollment from around 2000 students to around 1000 students. While Antioch College's financial situation stabilized in the 1980s it never was able to increase student enrollment beyond 1000 students.
Antioch College started having problems again in the early to mid 1990s when its "Sexual Offense Prevention Policy" received national publicity. According to the policy, consent for sexual behavior must be mutual, verbal, and reiterated for each new step of sexual behavior. The original version policy was created at Antioch College's "Womyn's Center" due to the agitation of a group of students called "Womyn of Antioch" and called for immediate expulsion of any man accused of a sexual offense with no rights given to the accused. A revised version of what the "Womyn's Center" wrote became policy for Antioch College. Even the revised version was so absurd that it became the basis of a Saturday Night Live sketch called "Is It Date Rape?"
Things continued to deteriorate at Antioch College so that by 2000 Mumia Abu Jamal and transgendered rights activist, Leslie Feinberg, were invited to be speakers at that year's commencement. This also recieved national publicity, and in the few years after enrollment declined to 600 students. By 2003 the situation at Antioch College deteriorated to the point where a renewal plan was started. This was done alongside deep cuts in staff which included eliminating Antioch College's Office for Multicultural Affairs. The led to a student protest called the "People of Color Takeover". Antioch College created the "Coretta Scott King Center for Cultural and Intellectual Freedom" in response to that protest but Antioch College still deteriorated. By 2007 enrollment had declined to 370 students. Also during 2007 the faculty of Antioch College filed a lawsuit against its Board of Trustees. Soon after operations were suspended at Antioch College, and it was closed in 2008.
Currently there are plans to reopen Antioch College in the fall of this year. Even if Antioch College reopens it is unlikely that it will ever regain the status it had.

Bisexual Asian Studies Needs It's Own Building
education, Spearhead Related 1 Response »
I had wanted to include this in my most recent post on The Spearhead but it didn't quite fit. There was a movie back in 1994 called PCU. The idea was that it stood for politically correct university and was about a college where political correctness had run amok. And no, it wasn't a documentary.
There's this one part of the movie that takes place at a faculty party. At the faculty party, some of the professors are talking about how "bisexual asian studies needs its own building". The only question is how bisexual asian studies will get its own building. Either the math department or the hockey team will have to go.
Doesn't this sound like the University of Cincinnatti's elimination of their computer science major? I never thought I would see that part of PCU happen in real life, but it has.

The Spearhead: University Kills Computer Science Major But Keeps Womens Studies
education, socialism, the spearhead No Responses »
Universities like everyone else are feeling the pinch in the current economy. This has led to them to look for places where they can cut expenditures. It would make the most sense to cut the useless parts of a university such as womens studies majors, various ethnic studies majors, "diversity" programs, programs for women, affirmative action, etc. and all of the associated expensive deans and bureaucracy that come along with such uselessness. The University of Cincinnati has not done this. Instead the University of Cincinnati has decided to cut its computer science major.
While the university claims that the computer science major is really being folded into other majors so nothing will be "lost", this is not true. Computer Science is an independent discipline. Folding computer science into other majors is like a university trying to eliminate its chemical engineering major into its chemistry major. Despite the overlap, it makes no sense.
A university has many purposes ranging from preparation for jobs and careers to loftier goals such as expanding the sum total of human knowledge. The University of Cincinnati by cutting its computer science major instead of its womens studies major and all other useless majors has failed all of these purposes. What they decide to eliminate and keep sends a strong message about what they think is important. The University of Cincinnati has sent a clear message that what they think is important is feminist and leftist indoctrination.
Even knowing that the University of Cincinnati has decided to place more importance in feminist and leftist indoctrination than employment and the body of human knowledge, why was computer science chosen as the first major to be eliminated? Most likely there were several factors in the university's decision but one of them had to be the pervasive anti-male bias that exists at most universities. Computer science is a major that is taken by mostly men, and those men are mostly "politically incorrect" men such as white men and asian men. If the University of Cincinnati cuts more majors they will most likely be other engineering and science majors that are made up of mostly "politically incorrect" men.
In the end this decision really only hurts the University of Cincinnati. Anyone who wants to major in computer science will go elsewhere along with their tuition and fees. Many men who weren't going to major in computer science will still avoid the University of Cincinnati because its anti-male bias is clearer than the average university. In a few years alumni donations will start to collapse as men who are employed in computer science jobs will be donating to the universities they went to and not the University of Cincinnati. All the womens studies and ethnic studies alumni will not be able to make up for the lost alumni donations. The womens and ethnic studies alumni are going to government, quasi-government, and other government mandated jobs that are going to collapse in the near future. A alumni with no job or a job where they have to say, "Would you like fries with that?" will not be able to donate to their alma mater. Research grants will fall apart for the University of Cincinnati as they will not be able to make use of them.
In a way it's good that the University of Cincinnati made this decision. Instead of hiding what they're really about, now everyone knows.
The Spearhead: Credentialism is not Education
education, the spearhead No Responses »
When debating feminists or even just reading or listening to their drivel, they are guaranteed at some point to make a reference (really several references) to their "education". As we know this is meant to convince us (unsuccessfully) that they are intelligent and have knowledge. The fact that feminists went to school or received a degree does not mean that they are intelligent or have knowledge. That is obvious from the fact that they fail to grasp basic concepts such as cause and effect and supply and demand. (Neither concept really requires that much intelligence, knowledge or education to understand.) Many of their degrees are in "women's studies" which is about indoctrination and not knowledge or they got their degrees through affirmative action or some other form of female privilege. In either case, having a degree does not mean these feminists (and other women) received much if any education.
Since we know that they didn't receive an education, a new word is needed to describe the process of going to school, receiving a degree without gaining any real knowledge or education. I propose, credentialation.
They have gone through a process that on the surface seems similar to getting an education, but all they have done is received a credential that is supposed to mean they have received knowledge in a particular subject. However, no real knowledge was gained, but these women are able to use the "credential" to act as if they actually received the knowledge the credential claims. They can't even master 10 fun typing games for kids.
Credentialation doesn't automatically mean some type of indoctrination happened, but in many cases it did. A degree in "women's studies" is a good example. Classes in "women's studies" do not impart any actual knowledge, but plenty of anti-male propaganda is presented (indoctrination). Many degrees in liberal arts fields also have indoctrination with anti-male propaganda but to a much lesser extent. Working for a degree in those fields can also be a credentialation since its possible to skate by on anti-male propaganda. It's also possible to get a credentialation in an engineering field or the sciences, but this is more difficult since both those areas deal with the real world and thus require students in those fields to produce real, tangible results. However, due to "women in engineering" programs and other affirmative action for women, it's still possible to get a credentialation and not an education in engineering and the sciences.
The are a couple of good ways to test if someone received a credentialation or an education. The more someone mentions their degrees as an argument the more likely they received a credentialation. If despite receiving a degree, it's obvious that person didn't gain any knowledge (particularly if they don't understand basic knowledge about how things works), then they received a credentialation. Feminists are likely to fail the first test and will definitely fail the second.
The Spearhead: Organized Labor Has Become an Arm of Female Supremacism
education, female economic bubbles, socialism, the spearhead No Responses »
Recently, I wrote on my blog about about an article from Reason Magazine (found via our own EW's blog) that said that the primary class war is now between public sector employees and private sector employees. The article explains how government jobs are now better paid, have better benefits, have platinum plated pensions, and in some cases are even effectively exempt from some laws such as various traffic laws. I made the observation that this meant the primary class war was now between men and women because public sector employment is now mostly female. Public sector employment is now a vehicle for promoting female supremacism.
This also means that organized labor has also become a vehicle for promoting female supremacism. It used to be that organized labor was made up of men working in the private sector. In fact, unionization of government employees at the federal level wasn't even allowed until 1962. Over time, private sector unionization has gone down while public sector unionization has gone up. For the first last year, a majority of unionized workers have jobs in the public sector (making up 52% of unionized workers) instead of the private sector. As a result, unions have become more and more about political activism for raising taxes and increasing unsustainable government spending. There are many examples of this. In Arizona, the Arizona Education Association (the teachers' union in Arizona) successfully lobbied against repeal of a $250 million a year statewide property tax and identified another $2.1 billion in tax increases to forestall spending reductions. In California, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) spent $1 million on a television ad campaign pressing for higher oil, gas, and liquor taxes. In Maine, the Maine Municipal Association, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the Teamsters, and the Maine Education Association collectively spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to campaign against a ballot initiative in November 2009 that would prevent government spending from growing faster than the combined rate of inflation and population growth and require the government to return excess revenues as tax rebates. In Oregon last week, there were two ballot initiatives to raise personal and business taxes that passed. Ninety percent of the advertising promoting a yes vote was provided by public employee unions who also made sure that the money that will be collected from the tax increases will go into benefits for public sector employees.
Knowing that the public sector workforce is predominately female, this means that all of these tax increases with increased spending on public sector employees are effectively acting as a transfer of wealth from men to women. It's no surprise that state branches of the National Education Association (the teachers' union) come up again and again when it comes to increasing taxes to spend on government employees as the teaching profession and by extension the membership of the NEA is predominately female. These are the reasons why organized labor has become another arm of female supermacism.
The Spearhead: Boy's Science Project Mistaken for Bomb, Boy Remanded for "Counseling"
(My latest post at the Spearhead is up. As always comments are disabled here. Comment about this post at the Spearhead.)
The San Diego Union Tribune reports that an 11 year old boy's personal science project was mistaken for a bomb. An 11 year old boy who attends Millennial Tech Magnet Middle School in San Diego was working on a personal science project to build some type of motion detector. He made the mistake of bringing it to his school. A vice principal at Millennial Tech saw the boy showing the device to other students at the school, and believing it was a bomb, IED, or some other type of harmful device put the school under lockdown and brought in the San Diego Police. Later the school was evacuated, and the device was scanned and determined to be harmless. The boy's house and garage was checked by fire officials to make sure there was nothing harmful or explosive. Obviously, there wasn't. While there will be no prosecutions (since no actual laws were violated), authorities are still "recommending" that both the boy and the parents "get counseling" because the boy supposedly violated some school policy.
One aspect of female supremacism is prosecuting a war on boys. This case is a stellar example of that. It's safe to say that if an 11 year old girl brought a personal science project to school, it would be held as proof of "female empowerment". However, since a boy did it, the police were called in, his house was searched for chemicals and explosive materials, and he (along with his parents) was remanded for "counseling" since they couldn't find anything.
It's even worse than it seems, because this is a tech magnet school. By definition a tech magnet school will have students who are interested in technology, engineering, and science. Trying to build electronic devices such a motion detector, as this boy did, should be considered typical – and even praiseworthy – for a student in such a school. Instead, any outside interest in science, engineering, and technology by boys is quashed by school authorities. If you wonder why the scientific, technological, and engineering fields are moving to Asia, just consider that what female supremacism is doing to boys is a huge part of it. Of course, with the export of feminism, Asia's leadership in science, engineering, and technology will be short-lived, because boys will likely be treated with the same distrust and hatred in Asia as they are here in the near future.
Spearhead Article: Male unemployment and crumbling infrastructure
education, female economic bubbles, mancession, socialism, the spearhead No Responses »
This Spearhead article should be up sometime today. As with all my Spearhead articles comment at The Spearhead.
By now you have already heard about the "mancession", and you know that men are disproportionately losing their jobs compared to women in this recession. Since the official unemployment rate in the US is already in the double digits, President Obama did the only thing he knows how to do, talk, by holding a jobs summit. All that came out of the jobs summit was undeniable proof that all the attendees at the summit should probably be unemployed.
Originally, the "stimulus" (which was supposed to keep the official unemployment rate well below its current level) was supposed to be spent on infrastructure. The I-35W Mississippi River Bridge collapse in Minnesota in 2007 and the DC Metro crash earlier this year in June (which was also covered by our own Roissy on his personal blog) showed that spending on maintaining current and building new infrastructure has been insufficient for a long time. The stimulus would have been a good opportunity to begin to correct this massive error as solid infrastructure is necessary for long term economic growth (not to mention safety), but womens' (such as NOW) groups objected. They called the original stimulus "burly", "macho", and "sexist" demanding that the stimulus be spent on women. This was despite the fact that millions of men were losing their jobs, and education and health care added jobs primarily benefiting women. NOW and the other womens' groups were successful with the stimulus was skewed towards education and health care leaving infrastructure in the same dangerous state it was before. In addition the gap between male and female unemployment is the largest in the history of unemployment data going back to 1948 when such data began.
This "women oriented stimulus" along with other things has caused the federal deficit for this year to surpass 1.8 trillion dollars, far beyond the deficit of any previous year. This causes more men to be unemployed since this massive federal debt is sucking capital out of the private sector which destroys jobs. Literally, there is no capital for new business creation and business expansion that would create jobs. Given all of the other factors here, effectively the stimulus and other ballooning government spending is causing millions and millions of more men to be unemployed. At least if the stimulus was spent on infrastructure jobs doing badly needed work would be created that would have provided a solid foundation for long term economic growth. Instead we have infrastructure that continues to crumble plus more and more men losing their jobs.
Since government policy is now driving the problems of male unemployment and crumbling infrastructure, only a significant change in government policy will solve these problems. Until then millions more men will become unemployed and there will be more bridges collapsing, metro crashes, electrical grid failures, and other disasters that should never have happened.

When technology is discussed in terms of how it will free men, the two technologies that come up the most are sex bots and artificial wombs. This is to be expected as so many of the problems women cause men to have are tied up in dating, relationships, and having kids (i.e. divorce and corrupt family courts). However, women cause problems to men outside of these areas.
Take schools for instance. They are run by women and feminist men. Their employees are mainly women. It's no surprise that natural boy behavior is called ADD (attention deficit disorder), ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), or Asperger's syndrome by female teachers who refuse to understand boys. If you talk to parents of boys in your community, you will hear plenty of stories of female teachers who will claim that their son has one of these diseases and will refuse to teach them unless they are medicated.
Before anyone gets on me about claiming ADD, ADHD, and Asperger's syndrome aren't real, I'm not claiming that. They are real, but over diagnosed. Lazy female teachers are motivated to medicate your sons rather than become a better educator. In the case of Asperger's syndrome, most people don't fully comprehend how its a continuum disorder. It's not like being pregnant which a woman is or isn't. Asperger's is in the middle of a continuum between what is known as being neurotypical on one end and full blown autism on the other. As a result its possible to be a little bit Aspergers or autistic and not notice any real problems. As a result of how nebulous this can be, a female teacher can claim a boy is Aspergers, but the only real problem is that he isn't interested in American Idol.
The source of this problem is public schools. When most people think of education, they think of something along the lines of kids receiving the knowledge of previous generations in such subjects as history, math, English, and science. This is not the case. While some knowledge is taught, the fact is public schools are nothing but vehicles for propaganda. This has been true since the beginning of public schools. Horace Mann who is responsible for the creation of modern public education in America had two goals, create obedient factory workers (since Americans were independent thinkers at the time) and make Catholic immigrant's kids Protestants. In other words Horace Mann was not interested educating anyone, but propaganda. Now, public schools are controlled by other interests which include feminists (hence why public schools are hostile to boys) and other leftist interests.
Private schools may or may not be any better. Schools the use the Sudbury Model are most likely very good. However, even schools such as Catholic schools where you would expect to find no feminism whatsoever have plenty of feminism in them. I went to Catholic schools and while its clear that I received a superior education to a public school (which isn't that much of an accomplishment), its was still run by feminists. The teachers went to all of the same education colleges as public school teachers. They were still primarily female and did not understand boys. Ironically, some of the worst feminists were nuns.
If you have a boy, and you want to make sure he receives a true education, you probably have to homeschool. Detractors of homeschooling will claim that your kid won't receive "social skills". However what are "social skills" really? Mindless conformity, getting their lunch money stolen, being bombarded with feminist propaganda, and if the teacher is really lazy being drugged. If you're worried about your homeschooled kid not getting "social skills" you can steal their lunch money and give them placebos instead of real drugs.
As great homeschooling is, it has its limits. Technology will provide us a solution to these problems, namely the direct neural interface. What is a direct neural interface? It's a interface directly between a computer and the brain. If you have seen the Matrix, what they were using were direct neural interfaces (although I doubt it will work like that). What direct neural interfaces will allow is accelerated learning since knowledge can be directly downloaded into the brain. No longer will teachers be needed who may be motivated to instill propaganda rather than educate. Since education will be so direct, anyone will be able to learn whatever subject they wish. For men this will mean complete freedom from feminist schools and colleges.

Filthy & Feral: Women Who Can't Handle Modern Civilization


Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane struck fluent centuries and stitched a record 262-run fourth-wicket partnership as India fought back bravely before a late-order slide allowed a sloppy Australia to claw back in the third cricket Test, here today.
Resuming the day on 108 for one in response to the hosts' first innings score of 530, India lost their overnight batsmen early but Kohli (169), registering his third ton in this series, and Rahane (147) made sure that their stand is the highest for India in Australia at the MCG for any wicket.
The visitors ended the day on 462 for eight as they still trail by 68 runs at the end of Day 3.
Aided by five dropped catches, India responded well only to lose a bit of a momentum in the end as new-ball bowler Ryan Harris returned with figures of 4-69.
Pace spearhead Mitchell Johnson (1-133), who bled runs through the day, also got Kohli caught behind to get a consolation wicket as umpires called stumps.
Getting into heated exchanges with Johnson at different stages of his innings, Kohli was dropped on 88 by Shane Watson (1-65) at first slip in the 85th over and made full use of the spill.
Kohli, recording his ninth Test ton, mixed the right dose of caution and aggression in his 272-ball stay, his innings laced with 18 boundaries.
Rahane, who got his century in just 127 balls, hitting 21 fours in his three-hours ten minute stay in the middle.
Rahane was finally trapped lbw off Lyon but not after maintaining a strike rate of 85.96.
Rahane's wicket opened up the gates for the host, who struck back with four wickets for 53 runs in the final session of play.
Debutant Lokesh Rahul (3) failed to capitalise on a dropped chance at mid-wicket off Lyon only to play another similar stroke against the off-spinner on the very next delivery as the ball took a top adge and settled into the hands of Josh Hazlewood (0-75) at fine leg.
Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (11) fiddled around for sometime but his tentative approach from the very start cost him his wicket after Harris got the wicketkeeper-batsman caught behind.
Ravichandran Ashwin was the next as part of the mini-procession and the No.8 batsman could only face four balls before being caught and bowled off Harris for a nought.
Harris was supported by Lyon (2-108) and Watson. The bowlers gave away far too many runs but were disciplined in the sense that they conceded just 2 extra in the innings so far.
Post-tea, the two batsmen had looked to increase their 189-run stand and did so quite well. They crossed the 200-run partnership mark in the 99th over of the innings, becoming the first batting pair ever to put on a 200-standd for the 4th wicket at the MCG.
Then they scored the next fifty at brisk pace, the 250-stand coming in the 106th over with the 400-mark coming the next over. India were scoring at more than six runs per over in that passage of play.
But things changed soon in the 108th over when Lyon trapped Rahane lbw to trigger a late-order collapse. Rahul was a bag of nerves and was dropped by substitute fielder Peter Siddle at mid-wicket in the 110th over.
But the youngster played a horrendous sweep shot to on the very next ball get a top-edge and get caught at fine leg.
Harris returned to account for Dhoni and Ashwin (0) as India went from 409/4 to 434/7. Meanwhile, Kohli stayed solid and crossed the 150-run mark in his Test career for the first time. He was out just before stumps, putting up 28 runs for the eighth wicket with Shami.
Earlier, Kohli and Rahane built on their 77-run platform they had laid in the morning. The latter had been more aggressive of the two batsmen and he continued in the same vein. He got to his half-century in the 71st over, off 60 balls, and two overs later brought up the 100-run partnership between them.
India crossed the 250-mark in the 74th over and were nearing the follow-on mark when things got a bit frantic in the middle. First, Lyon dropped Rahane (70 not out) in the 80th over, completely missing a simple return catch.
Then as the second new ball was taken, Johnson hit Kohli with a return throw. The batsman had an angry go at him and then lost his composure. In the 85th over he edged behind off the same bowler and was dropped by Watson at first slip.
Kohli then top-edged one off Johnson in the following over only for keeper Brad Haddin not being able to reach the ball.
Things settled down as their 150-run partnership came up in the 87th over and from thereon, it was all about the milestones. Rahane was the first to get to his triple-figures, reaching his 3rd Test century in the 90th over, off 127 balls.
It is his 3rd overseas Test hundred this year. Then, four overs later, Kohli got to his 9th Test hundred – his 4th in Australia – as the duo closed out the session with 112 runs without losing a wicket.
Earlier in the day, Cheteshwar Pujara (25) did not trouble the scorers as the No.3 batsman was out on the second ball of the day as Harris induced an outside edge and the catch was beautifully held Haddin in front of first slip.
Opener Murali Vijay (68) did add a few runs to his score and hit a couple of lovely boundaries before he got hit on the back of the helmet off a Johnson snorter.
The hit sure did shake him up as he was soon picked by Watson, edging one to first slip as Shaun Marsh made no mistake.

Mike Ullery | Daily Call Piqua High School sophomores Isaac Abbott, Isaiah Mears, and Isaiah Vinson check out the new Wall of Honor in the lobby of PHS. The interactive display pays tribute to alumni who have served or are currently enlisted in the Armed Forces.
PIQUA — Patriotism meets technology at Piqua High School, where a new interactive touchscreen database honors alumni who are military veterans, as well as those currently enlisted in the Armed Forces.
Recently installed in the school's lobby outside the administrative offices, the Wall of Honor is one of the first things visitors to the school will see upon entering the building. The display grew out of talks about improvements that needed to be made at PHS, according to Principal Rob Messick.
He added that the Wall of Honor — which showcases service members from 1944 to the present — plays well into the district's participation in the Ohio Department of Education's Success Bound strategy, which presents the military "as a viable career," Messick noted.
With the seed of an idea planted, Messick was challenged with how to make the idea bear fruit. He found the answer during a visit to Bangor, Maine, where his son is in the Coast Guard.
Funds poured in from private donors, service organizations like the American Legion and VFW posts, PHS graduating classes, among others — totaling approximately $18,000 to finance the project, which, in addition to the touchscreen designed by TouchPros, features a three-dimensional background by Quint Creative Signs with stars and stripes, and three soldiers in silhouette.
To register online, visit piqua.org and click "Select A School." After choosing "Piqua High School," select "Veterans Wall Registration" from the list on the left side of the page, and fill out the form. Information includes name, year of graduation, branch of service, rank and a brief description of military services/accomplishments. Additionally, up to three photos of a military nature can be submitted.
Families of deceased soldiers are welcome to submit their loved ones' information, Messick said.
In addition, there will be an open house from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Veterans Day for those who wish to register.

Q: How to use ml luis entity and list entity together in bot framework When i try to use both list entity and ml entity together in bot composer i get the following error:
"Check STATUS with {@idtype} {@id=132354}" has mix of entites with labelled values and ones without. Please update utterance to either include labelled values for all entities or remove labelled values from all entities."
Check STATUS  with {@idtype} {@id=132354}   .Here idtype is list entity and id is ml entity.

A: What that means is that, for a specific utterance you have to either add labels (the "=132354" part) to all entities in the utterance or remove them from all entities.
For your specific sample, since you should have the "132354" value included in the list definition, you could remove it from the utterance.
However, ml entities require (at least some) utterances with labeled entities, after all that's the only way the machine can learn what that entity looks like . So, wherever you label an ml entity, you should also label the list entity or any other entity in the utterance.
You can read more about this topic in the Best practices for building a language understanding (LUIS) app documentation page.
BTW an utterance with unlabeled entities is considered a pattern, you can read more about this in the Patterns improve prediction accuracy page.
