It's been three years since demonetisation was announced by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to get rid of black money and it seems that urban India is still in love with the move, says a study by Velocity MR. The study found that more than 70 per cent Indians think that demonetisation has played an important role in curbing terrorism as it has dealt a huge blow to the funding of terror in states like Jammu & Kashmir as well as left-wing extremist violence across several states.
The national study that had a sample size of 2,100 respondents and covered Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad Chennai, and Pune. "During this note-ban period, the majority of the population shifted to digital payment methods. The study found that PayTM, GPay and PhonePe were leading the list in terms of high recall value in the digital transaction apps. While 74 per cent of the respondents said that demonetisation has driven the country towards a cashless society, every one in two people complained of incomplete transactions and low-speed internet when it came to these e-wallets/UPI apps," said the study.
"But about 67 per cent of the people feel that demonetisation did not affect people who had black money in the form of real estate, shares, gold, silver and foreign currency. Even then more than half of the people (55 per cent) feel that demonetisation has had a positive impact on our economy," it added.
"From being primarily a cash-obsessed economy, India's digital transformation story is new but exciting. The evolution of the industry has been triggered by increasing internet and smartphone penetration," said Jasal Shah, Managing Director and CEO of Velocity MR "As digital consumer behaviours change, so should the technologies and services. To lure the consumers, the digital wallets rolled out lucrative offers and cashback to get customers on board using the payment channel," he added. The number of people availing mutual funds and investments through apps has also increased in the past years.

ShotSpotter played a key role in catching the Fresno shooter
By Rafael Fariñas -

The Fresno Police Department Chief, Jerry Dyer, credited the gunshot detection system ShotSpotter with locating the responsible for the Fresno shootings on Tuesday. Three people died during the events, and the suspect was caught in the scene.
ShotSpotter uses advanced acoustic technology to pinpoint the location of gunfire incidents in real time. Law enforcement agencies around the U.S. and the world use the system to fight crime and enhance their response times.
Chief Jerry Dyer said that many more people could have been hurt or killed on Tuesday if it were not for the live gunshot alerts. The shooter has since been identified as Kori Ali Muhammad, a 39-year-old man responsible for another killing last week at a local motel.

How does ShotSpotter work?
According to the website, the app relies on acoustic sensors that are strategically located, 15-20 per square mile, to detect and triangulate gunshot activity.
They record each shot or round of shots and register the time and estimated location. They feed this data to law enforcement agencies' control rooms and officers' computers in their cars.
Because the detection system may track sounds that are not gunfire, like fireworks or loud noises, the recordings are filtered by a special algorithm and a team of professionals at the company's Incident Review Center.
The information dispatched to police departments and other security bodies includes exact coordinates, the number of recorded detonations, and the kind of weapon that may have been used.
ShotSpotter says its technology should be in no way considered a replacement for law enforcement. Instead, it is a tool that enables deputies to act fast and in a safe way, increasing effectivity in takedown operations and potentially saving lives.
ShotSpotter may be costly, but worth it
SST Inc., the service providers of ShotSpotter, offer different versions of the system to better fit different users' needs. Their main product is ShotSpotter Flex, the law enforcement specialized tool.
Cities and towns may add features on top of the already far-reaching services. Reports say average installation costs range between $65,000 and $90,000 per square mile per year. Fresno's grid covers a strategic area of 3 square miles, which was enough to catch the shooter.
The particularities of each city, however, can ramp up the costs up to $250,000 per square mile. Such was the case in New York City, but since ShotSpotter was installed in 2015, 74% of the alerts it generated in the following six months had not been called in by 911.
The neighboring Police Department at Bakersfield, California, has once again reached out to federal authorities in the search for a grant to implement ShotSpotter in the town. Officers expect the approval of at least a two-year pilot program of the system.

More than 100 House members ask CMS to delay 'two midnight' rule
U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa.)
Just days before a controversial rule on outpatient observation care goes into effect, more than 100 members of the U.S. House have signed a letter asking CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner to put the brakes on the policy.
Led by U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa.), the bipartisan group of lawmakers say the so-called "two midnight" rule will subject many Medicare patients to higher out-of-pocket costs for hospitalization and post-acute skilled-nursing care because the rule presumes that patients expected to be in the hospital for fewer than two days should have been admitted to observation, not inpatient care. Unlike full-fledged hospitalization, Medicare observation care requires 20% per-service co-payments and does not cover post-acute care.
Likewise, the hospitals themselves stand to lose money on short hospitalizations because observation care is paid under Medicare physician rates, not the higher hospital rates, even though in some cases the services to the patients are virtually indistinguishable.
The reverse is that hospitalizations expected to last more than two days—defined as a visit spanning two midnights—are presumed to be appropriate for inpatient care. CMS officials have said the policy is intended to cut the number of long observation stays, but that overall hospitals were expected to earn more revenue in the larger picture because of the uptick in inpatient stays that would have been observation under the existing rule.
The rule, set to take effect Oct. 1, was finalized a month ago.
The legislators urge Tavenner to delay the policy for six months to give the CMS a chance to consider changes to the criteria Medicare hospitals are supposed to use when deciding whether to admit a patient.
The request reflects concerns the hospital industry and other stakeholders have expressed regarding the policy.
The American Hospital Association last week sent a letter to the CMS embracing the clarity promised by the two-midnight rule but asking for detailed guidance on the admission and review criteria. The AHA asked for a three-month delay of those provisions in light of the short window before the rule goes into effect.
"Many questions remain related to the application of the benchmark and other requirements, and clear guidance is essential so that providers and contractors are abiding by the same rules," the hospital association said in the letter.
The hospital association is also questioning a 0.2% payment cut for certain "intense, inpatient-level services provided by hospitals to Medicare beneficiaries that are reasonable and necessary but do not appear on the inpatient-only list and are not expected to span two midnights."

Cook v. Gralike, 531 U.S. 510 (2001), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that an attempt by the state of Missouri to influence Congressional elections in favor of candidates who supported term limits was unconstitutional.

Opinion of the Court

Missouri had adopted a state constitutional amendment with a change that, during primary general elections, warnings would be affixed to the voting ballots of candidates that did not support term limits.

The Court held that the powers delegated to the states by the Elections Clause related only to the power over the procedural mechanisms of elections.  Because this amendment sought to influence the outcome of elections, it exceeded state powers over national elections.

Google survey: Asian smartphone usage skyrockets
by Byravee Iyer October 29, 2014
Asians are leapfrogging desktop Internet.
In the annual survey, many Southeast Asian users expressed no interest in any non-mobile devices
SINGAPORE — A Google study not only confirms a dizzying increase in smartphone penetration; it also shows that many consumers have no interest in a non-mobile devices, especially in Southeast Asia markets where the PC never had a foothold.
Smartphone adoption in Vietnam has hit 36 percent, up from 20 per cent a year ago, according to the Internet giant's annual Consumer Barometer. In Indonesia, penetration now stands at 28 percent, double last year's figure. Thailand is now at 40 percent, up from 31 percent last year.
"The surprising element to me is how fast things have moved in terms of penetration," said Julian Persaud, managing director, Google Southeast Asia. "This trend is manifesting itself in several different ways."
Many respondents report that a mobile device is the only connected device they own. In Malaysia, over a third of users said a phone was their only device for going online, and in Vietnam this is true for almost a quarter of the respondents. In Singapore, the figure is at 16 percent and in South Korea and Hong Kong it is 14 percent. By contrast, Western countries demonstrated single-digit figures, with Germany at 7 percent and the U.K. at 6 percent.
Conversely, Asians reported having more than one gadget. Nearly eight out of 10 Singaporeans use two or more connected devices, a trend that's picking up in the rest of Southeast Asia too: 12 percent in Indonesia and 35 percent in Malaysia.
In Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam, 30 percent to 40 percent of people go online while watching TV, and over 75 percent do it with a smartphone. In Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam, more than 80 percent are looking at things unrelated to what's on TV.
Google's annual Consumer Barometer, in conjunction with TNS, is a global study of consumer trends across 56 countries and 150,000 people. For this leg of the research, Google researched 14 countries across Asia-Pacific.
Two of the top five smartphone nations come from Asia with Singapore reporting adoption at 85 percent, followed by Korea at 80 percent. Others in the region aren't far behind as Malaysia, Taiwan and Hong Kong are now over the 50 percent mark.
"It's amazing to see Singapore in the global number one spot. This is a massive wake-up call to any business without a mobile-optimized site or application," Persaud noted. "In 2014, this is no longer a viable approach; you're effectively slamming your shop door in the face of your customers."
Once online, consumers in the region use search extensivelt. Nine out of 10 Singaporeans search for information at least once a month, a trend that holds across Asia with Vietnam at 93 per cent, Japan at 96 per cent, and Malaysia at 76 percent. Among smartphone users, 88 percent in Singapore, 92 percent in Vietnam and 91 per cent in Japan searched at least once a month.
If search is ubiquitous, then shopping is really starting to take off: 69 percent of Singaporeans said they conducted research online before purchase, while in Malaysia eight out of 10 people reported doing the same. Among smartphone users, nearly half of Singaporeans, 40 percent of Vietnamese and 41 percent of Malaysians reported using a smartphone to conduct pre-purchase research, compared to just 28 percent in the US.

We've talked about post-editing before, but what does pre-editing mean and why should you be doing it?
Pre-editing is the process of reviewing a document before you begin the translation process, looking for issues that could cause problems in translation.
Here are some tips on how to ensure that the translation process goes smoothly and that your target-language document is as useful as possible.
Make sure the document is error-free. This sounds basic — and it is! Spelling and grammar errors can lead to misunderstandings on the translator's part. Other elements of a text, such as numbers or proper names, will be included as-is in the translated text, so it's critical to make sure that the document provided to the translator is correct in all its aspects.
Eliminate ambiguities. Make sure the source document is clear and easy to understand. If a translator has questions about an ambiguity in the source text, she will need to reach out to you, potentially adding time to the process.
Take a look at how you use cultural references and idiomatic expressions. When you're writing for an audience with a similar linguistic and cultural background to you, it's easy to pepper your text with references that are specific to that group. But a translator won't always know how to handle them – should they keep references from the source culture or try to find their equivalent in the target culture? What if there isn't an equivalent?
Give context. It's counterintuitive, but single words or short phrases without context can be some of the most problematic for translators. For example, the Spanish word reloj can be translated either as clock or as wristwatch. Without context, a translator is forced to guess or to send follow-up questions. Avoid confusion by adding context where possible — or use the comments feature in Word, Excel, or Acrobat to add notes for the translator.
Optimizing your document for translation is one of the best and easiest ways to reduce errors, translator questions, and even the time it takes to produce a finished translation.

An unusually well-preserved Ordovician fossil from Czechoslovakia shows that the enigmatic paired structures once thought to be outgrowths of the operculum of Hyolithes are really independent structures lying between the operculum and the aperture of the shell. The find seems to provide conclusive proof of the morphologic uniqueness of hyolithids.

To learn more, visit Excel Dryer.
Excel Dryer partnered with D|13 Group to bring this sustainable integrated sink system to the marketplace.
Excel Dryer is expanding and diversifying its product line with the next evolution in sustainable restroom design—the XLERATORsync® hand dryer, a sink deck-mounted dryer, featured exclusively as part of the D|13 sink system in the U.S.
The most advanced integrated sink system available, this restroom product is making waves in the marketplace thanks to a collaboration between Excel Dryer and D|13 Group, a Massachusetts-based company that designs, manufactures, and supplies beautiful and functional commercial fixtures.
The D|13 sink system takes high-end restrooms to the next level. It's a "one-stop shop" for designers, seamlessly combining three no-touch fixtures: a soap dispenser, durable faucet, and Excel Dryer's high-speed, energy-efficient XLERATORsync hand dryer. The all-in-one sink deck provides the most hygienic, sustainable, and cost-effective way to wash and dry your hands.
The integrated sink system offers an intuitive, streamlined hand-washing process that creates the ultimate user experience. When you're done washing your hands, it's human nature to immediately look for something to dry your hands off with. In private bathrooms, you may reach for a hand towel, but in public restrooms it's a different story. You have to find the paper towel dispenser or the hand dryer on the wall.
To make life easier, the D|13 sink system incorporates the hand dryer directly next to the faucet, right where it belongs. That means less time with wet hands. Similar to how hand-drying is part of the hand-washing process, the hand dryer is now part of the sink system.
By putting the automatic faucet, soap dispenser, and hand dryer all within arm's reach of the basin, this hands-free sink deck is as hygienic and efficient as it is simple to use. It also keeps restroom maintenance simple and enables a cleaner space by reducing drippage on the floor and eliminating paper towel waste.
The user experience isn't the only thing that's improved—the D|13 sink system design stands out from other integrated systems on the market, too. What really makes it unique is how the sink basin and hand dryer are specifically synchronized to enhance performance.
The XLERATORsync technology diverts the high-speed airflow away from the user toward the back of the basin. The basin has the proper depth and angles to control the air and water, so you won't splash water on the counter or on yourself.
Dryers are greener, more economical, and easier to maintain than paper towel dispensers and other hand-drying products. The D|13 sink system takes sustainability a step further by utilizing recycled, FSC-certified materials. Also, the sink system arrives onsite palletized and ready to install, reducing the time, energy, and resources needed for installation. This efficient process makes this integrated sink system an affordable and sustainable option.
This sleek sink system complements other high-end fixtures and décor while adding to a hospitality-driven aesthetic. Customizable design options allow architects to create elegant, spotless public restrooms. Getting rid of paper towel dispensers means less hardware and less waste.
Designers and architects have complete design flexibility. You can customize the sink deck and enclosure to heighten the overall look and feel of the space and select your preferred shape and dimensions. The material of the sink basin, counter, and base cabinet can also be customized with a wide range of materials, including Corian, quartz, marble, and stone. Functional design options like baby changing units, built-in trash cans, and countertop elevations are available, too.
You can incorporate nearly any faucet and soap combination from all the top brands in the industry, such as Kohler, SLOAN, Toto, Stern, and more. The faucet also has customizable flow rates and the fixture shapes can correspond or differ in appearance to help make the system more intuitive for the user—it's up to you.

Q: How to decode Unicode escape sequences like "\u00ed" to proper UTF-8 encoded characters? Is there a function in PHP that can decode Unicode escape sequences like "\u00ed" to "í" and all other similar occurrences?
I found similar question here but is doesn't seem to work.

A: print_r(json_decode('{"t":"\u00ed"}')); // -> stdClass Object ( [t] => í )

A: This is a sledgehammer approach to replacing raw UNICODE with HTML. I haven't seen any other place to put this solution, but I assume others have had this problem.
Apply this str_replace function  to the RAW JSON, before doing anything
else.
function unicode2html($str){
    $i=65535;
    while($i>0){
        $hex=dechex($i);
        $str=str_replace("\u$hex","&#$i;",$str);
        $i--;
     }
     return $str;
}

This won't take as long as you think, and this will replace ANY unicode with HTML.
Of course this can be reduced if you know the unicode types that are being returned in the JSON.
For example my code was getting lots of arrows and dingbat unicode.
These are between 8448 an 11263. So my production code looks like:
$i=11263;
while($i>08448){
    ...etc...

You can look up the blocks of Unicode by type here:
http://unicode-table.com/en/
If you know you're translating Arabic or Telegu or whatever, you can just replace those codes, not all 65,000.
You could apply this same sledgehammer to simple encoding:
 $str=str_replace("\u$hex",chr($i),$str);

A: PHP 7+
As of PHP 7, you can use the Unicode codepoint escape syntax to do this.
echo "\u{00ed}"; outputs í.

A: Try this:
$str = preg_replace_callback('/\\\\u([0-9a-fA-F]{4})/', function ($match) {
    return mb_convert_encoding(pack('H*', $match[1]), 'UTF-8', 'UCS-2BE');
}, $str);

In case it's UTF-16 based C/C++/Java/Json-style:
$str = preg_replace_callback('/\\\\u([0-9a-fA-F]{4})/', function ($match) {
    return mb_convert_encoding(pack('H*', $match[1]), 'UTF-8', 'UTF-16BE');
}, $str);

A: $str = '\u0063\u0061\u0074'.'\ud83d\ude38';
$str2 = '\u0063\u0061\u0074'.'\ud83d';

// U+1F638
var_dump(
    "cat\xF0\x9F\x98\xB8" === escape_sequence_decode($str),
    "cat\xEF\xBF\xBD" === escape_sequence_decode($str2)
);

function escape_sequence_decode($str) {

    // [U+D800 - U+DBFF][U+DC00 - U+DFFF]|[U+0000 - U+FFFF]
    $regex = '/\\\u([dD][89abAB][\da-fA-F]{2})\\\u([dD][c-fC-F][\da-fA-F]{2})
              |\\\u([\da-fA-F]{4})/sx';

    return preg_replace_callback($regex, function($matches) {

        if (isset($matches[3])) {
            $cp = hexdec($matches[3]);
        } else {
            $lead = hexdec($matches[1]);
            $trail = hexdec($matches[2]);

            // http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#utf16-4
            $cp = ($lead << 10) + $trail + 0x10000 - (0xD800 << 10) - 0xDC00;
        }

        // https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3629#section-3
        // Characters between U+D800 and U+DFFF are not allowed in UTF-8
        if ($cp > 0xD7FF && 0xE000 > $cp) {
            $cp = 0xFFFD;
        }

        // https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-5.6.4/ext/standard/html.c#L471
        // php_utf32_utf8(unsigned char *buf, unsigned k)

        if ($cp < 0x80) {
            return chr($cp);
        } else if ($cp < 0xA0) {
            return chr(0xC0 | $cp >> 6).chr(0x80 | $cp & 0x3F);
        }

        return html_entity_decode('&#'.$cp.';');
    }, $str);
}

A: There is also a solution:
http://www.welefen.com/php-unicode-to-utf8.html
function entity2utf8onechar($unicode_c){
    $unicode_c_val = intval($unicode_c);
    $f=0x80; // 10000000
    $str = "";
    // U-00000000 - U-0000007F:   0xxxxxxx
    if($unicode_c_val <= 0x7F){         $str = chr($unicode_c_val);     }     //U-00000080 - U-000007FF:  110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
    else if($unicode_c_val >= 0x80 && $unicode_c_val <= 0x7FF){         $h=0xC0; // 11000000
        $c1 = $unicode_c_val >> 6 | $h;
        $c2 = ($unicode_c_val & 0x3F) | $f;

Biography >> Entrepreneurs
Occupation: Entrepreneur
Born: August 3, 1941 in Jersey City, New Jersey
Best known for: The television show Martha Stewart Living
Where did Martha Stewart grow up?
Martha Kostyra was born in Jersey City, New Jersey on August 3, 1941 (she became Martha Stewart when she was married to Andy Stewart in 1961). Martha's dad was a pharmaceutical salesman and her mother was a homemaker and a teacher. Martha was the second of six children. Martha's parents were both of Polish descent and the Polish heritage and culture was important to the family.
When Martha was three years old her family moved to the town of Nutley, New Jersey. It was in Nutley that Martha grew up. Her parents were fairly strict and required their children to do plenty of chores and help around the house. Martha learned how to cook and sew from her mother. She also learned about gardening by helping her father out in the yard. Once a year Martha would spend a few weeks with her grandparents. Her grandmother taught her how to preserve foods and make jams and jellies.
When Martha was in high school, she made extra money babysitting and organizing children's parties. She was a bright student and attended Barnard College in New York City. She helped to pay for her schooling through modeling jobs. In 1962, she graduated Barnard with degrees in History and Architectural History.
Before graduating from college, Martha married Andy Stewart. After college she and Andy traveled and Martha continued to model. Martha had her only child, a daughter named Alexis, in 1965. In 1967, Martha wanted to go to work. She got a job as a stockbroker in New York City. She worked as a stockbroker for six years.
In 1971, Martha and Andy purchased a farm home they called Turkey Hill in Westport, Connecticut. After quitting her job, Martha spent her time completely restoring the old farmhouse. She also studied how to cook and became an excellent gourmet chef. One day Martha decided to put her cooking skills to the test by opening up her own catering business. She cooked food and hosted large dinner parties and quickly became a success.
At one of the dinner parties Martha was catering she met a book publisher who was impressed with her cooking skills. She soon developed and published a cookbook called Entertaining. It was a success. She followed up her first book with more cooking and party books including Martha Stewart's Pies & Tarts, The Wedding Planner, Martha Stewart's Quick Menus, and Martha Stewart's Christmas. She also became famous by being featured in magazines and on TV shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Magazines and TV
Through her books and television appearances, Martha had become famous. In the 1990s, she began to expand her business. She started a magazine called Martha Stewart Living, a popular newspaper column, and her own television show. The name "Martha Stewart" became a brand that made millions of dollars. In 1997, she formed a company called Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. She was president and CEO. She took the company public in 1999, selling shares in the company. At one point her estimated wealth was nearly $1 billion. She also had her own brand of products at stores like Home Depot, K-Mart, Macy's, and Sears. She also worked with home builders to design Martha Stewart inspired homes.
In 2002, Martha got in trouble for insider trading on the stock market. This means she used information not available to the public to make money on the stock market. She was convicted in 2004 and was sentenced to five months in jail. This was a major blow to her career and her public image.
Later Career
Despite the setback, Martha didn't stop working. After getting out of jail she continued to work on her brand and business. She even starred in her own version of the reality show The Apprentice. She started a new show on PBS in 2012 called Martha Stewart's Cooking School.
Interesting Facts about Martha Stewart
While in high school she babysat the kids of New York Yankees members Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra.
She had become a member of the board of directors of the New York Stock Exchange just four months prior to the outbreak of her insider trading scandal.
She doesn't like bananas, but loves hot dogs.
Her net worth actually increased significantly while she was in jail.
She likes rap music, especially Eminem.
She named her bulldog Francesca, after someone she met while in prison.
She is an early riser, getting up at 5 a.m. most days to go for a hike.

In my recent letter to the Addison Independent, which was published July 2, I wrote that Betty Nuovo was the first woman to be elected to the Vermont House as a Democrat. I was mistaken. That distinction belongs to Madeline Kunin, who was also the first woman elected governor of Vermont. I apologize for this mistake.


As world leaders gather for COP24 in Katowice, Poland, communities and individuals around the world are also taking part in grassroots efforts and personal action for climate justice.
People from around the world have also shown support for the Climate Pilgrimage by sending prayers and messages to the pilgrims throughout their 1,500-kilometer journey. These messages have been written on prayer ribbons, which the pilgrims have carried across six countries and over 60 cities. The prayer ribbons will soon be delivered to world leaders upon their arrival at COP24, adding weight to the urgent call for climate justice.

Protesters Target Statues Linked to Slavery
The statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis is splattered with paint after it was toppled Wednesday night, June 10, 2020, along Monument Drive in Richmond, Va. (Dylan Garner/Richmond Times-Dispatch via AP)
The death of African American George Floyd while being arrested by four Minneapolis police officers set off protests and some violence across the United States. Some protesters have now turned to bringing down symbols of the Confederacy and slavery.
On Wednesday night, protesters brought down a statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis in Richmond, Virginia. About 130 kilometers away in Portsmouth, Virginia, another group of protesters pulled down four statues that were part of a Confederate monument. A day earlier, protesters in Richmond tore down a statue of Christopher Columbus, set it on fire and threw it into a lake.
Around the world, protesters wanted to bring down monuments to people linked to slavery and colonialism. They include Christopher Columbus, Cecil Rhodes and Belgium's King Leopold II.

Confederate symbols
Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy. It is where Jefferson Davis led 11 southern, slave-holding states against the north during the American Civil War. After four years of bitter fighting, the Confederate states surrendered and re-joined the Union. The United States approved an amendment to the Constitution in 1865 that legally ended slavery across the country.
City leaders were planning to remove the bronze statue of Davis in a few weeks. But demonstrators chose to bring it down Wednesday night. A crowd cheered and police looked on. There were no immediate reports of any arrests.

The Davis statue was not far away from a much larger monument of General Robert E. Lee, the military leader of the Confederates. Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, a Democrat, last week ordered its removal, but a judge on Monday blocked any action for at least 10 days.
Confederate statues and monuments like those of Davis' and Lee's were not built immediately after the Civil War. Many were built at the turn of the 20th century and in the 1950s. The Southern Poverty Law Center listed over 700 such monuments across 31 states.
People who want Confederate monuments to remain have argued that they are important reminders of history. A spokesman for the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Virginia called the statues "public works of art" and likened losing the Confederate statues to losing a family member.
B. Frank Earnest said, "The men who served under Robert E. Lee were my great-grandfathers or their brothers and their cousins. So it is my family."

NASCAR banning Confederate flags
Davis' statue was brought down on the same day NASCAR, a car racing organization, banned Confederate flags at its races. The flag was a common sight at the races where fans young and old proudly displayed them.
Bubba Wallace, the only African American driver in NASCAR brought attention to the issue this week. He called for the ban saying, there was "no place" for the flag in the sport.
NASCAR said, "Bringing people together around a love for racing and the community that it creates is what makes our fans and sport special. The display of the Confederate flag will be prohibited from all NASCAR events and properties."
The decision brought protests from Ray Ciccarelli, who wrote on Facebook: "I could care less about the Confederate Flag but there are ppl [people] that do and it doesn't make them a racist."

In Washington, DC, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanded Wednesday that statues of Confederate officials such as Jefferson Davis be removed from the U.S. Capitol.
Pelosi, a leader in the Democratic Party, cannot order the removal of the 11 statues. She is urging the Joint Committee on the Library to vote to remove them. The Republican-controlled Senate also have a say in the matter.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump announced that his administration will "not even consider" changing the name of any of the 10 Army bases named after Confederate Army officers.
Two days earlier, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said that he was open to a discussion of such changes. The bases are named for Confederate Army officers, including Robert E. Lee and Henry L. Benning. The naming was done mostly after World War I and in the 1940s.
Trump wrote, "These Monumental and very Powerful Bases have become part of a Great American Heritage, a history of Winning, Victory, and Freedom."

Advocacy, Borgen Project, Human Rights
Heroes of Advocacy
Every wrong in the world has been addressed and corrected through some kind of advocacy, the most prominent kind of which is social advocacy. Well-known leaders throughout time from all over the world have led social movements, revolutions, and non-violent protests all in the face of injustice. Here are some of the most influential social leaders; the heroes of advocacy:
1. Mahatma Gandhi
Named "Mahatma" by one of India's best-known writers, Tagore; the title 'Mahatma' stood for 'Great Soul.' It was in South Africa, while serving as an Indian businessman's legal adviser, that he became aware of European racism and injustice. While in South Africa, Gandhi found himself "politically awakened" and began to use non-violent strategies to fight injustice. He wrote a book about the Indians' struggles to claim their rights in South Africa. He returned to India in 1915 and found himself involved in several local struggles involving workers and working conditions. He then went on to initiate the non-cooperation movement, advising Indians to be self-reliant and withdraw from British institutions. In February 1922, when Indian policemen were killed by a crowd, Gandhi was arrested, and the movement was suspended. At his 'Great Trial,' where he was tried for sedition, he delivered a powerful indictment of British rule. After his release from prison, he worked hard towards maintaining relations between Hindus and Muslims in India. Gandhi was the most prominent figure in his engagement in the constructive reform of Indian society. Gandhi used "satyagraha," systems of non-violence, to try and make the oppressor and the oppressed identify with one another as humans.
Gandhi recognized that "freedom is only freedom when it is indivisible."
2. Nelson Mandela
Born in Transkei, South Africa, Mandela joined the African National Congress in 1944 and engaged in resistance against the racist apartheid government of the ruling National Party. The African National Congress sought to create democratic political change in South Africa. In 1956, he was tried for treason. It was during his time in prison on Robben Island, from 1964 to 1982, that Mandela's reputation became more famous.
"He consistently refused to compromise his political position to obtain his freedom."
Upon his release from prison in 1990, he dedicated himself to achieve the goals that were sought after four decades earlier. In 1991, he was elected President of the African National Congress (ANC). He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for his work for the "peaceful termination of the apartheid regime, and for laying the foundations for a new democratic South Africa" – Official Nobel Prize Website
3. Martin Luther King Jr.
Known for boycotts, demonstrations, and civil movements to express civil disobedience, King was the symbol of a nonviolent civil rights revolution. He changed politics. According to The King Center, African Americans achieved "more genuine racial equality" under the leadership of Dr. King with the American Civil Rights Movement than they did before him. King was heavily influenced by his Christian faith and the teachings of Gandhi, both which guided him to lead nonviolent movements in the 1950s and '60s to achieve African American equality in the United States. Martin Luther King was quoted during his delivery of the "I Have a Dream" speech, saying that African Americans were still not free, that they still lived in poverty and segregation, that they are exiles, and so now they had to "dramatize a shameful condition." This is precisely what the Borgen Project is doing by fighting global poverty.
4. César Chávez
The Mexican-American who brought on agricultural reform and whose works led to the creation of the National Farm Workers Association, later named the United Farm Workers. He witnessed the harsh labor conditions that farmers had to endure and the employers' exploitation of workers: they were unpaid, had poor living conditions in return for their services, and had no medical or basic privileges. He organized marches, boycotts, and strikes, forcing employers to provide adequate payment/wages to workers and provide them with benefits. Chávez was recognized for his commitment to social justice and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
There are many more social activists who dedicated their lives to social reform and political change by fighting for people's rights and freedoms. The activists listed above were a few of the most prominent and most influential throughout history.
Today, we're fighting for a different kind of freedom, although it is not any less important: we're fighting to end global poverty, and free people from the shackles of poverty. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," during his fight for equal rights for colored people in the United States.
With advocacy, we deliver information and vital knowledge to the masses, thereby engaging them and mobilizing them to stand up for an issue and demand justice.

The Chinese internet giant Baidu – also known as the Asian Google – has announced it is accepting Bitcoin payments since this Monday (14). This is huge news for the cryptocurrency ecosystem and one more sign that China is really welcoming Bitcoin into the country without major regulation issues, at least so far.
For now, the payments are only accepted by Baidu's Jiasule, the cloud-based anti-DDOS service and content delivery network used to improve websites' performance, speed and security. If you're looking for a comparison, Jiasule is very similar to the United States-based CloudFlare. However, seeing Bitcoin reach a company that has a market cap of $53 billion and is rated by Alexa as the most visited website in China and the fifth most visited website on the planet is a pretty big deal.
Baidu, which was founded in 2000, announced the news with a press release (in Chinese) that said "Bitcoin is a new kind of electronic currency, a digital transfer medium, which has already received a high degree of international recognition, and has already reached into our daily lives. It can be used to buy a cup of coffee or exchanged for gold and silver. In China, Bitcoin is considered quite 'trendy'", according to a translation published by Coindesk.
"Baidu Jiasule will officially support Bitcoin payments. Baidu Jiasule users can use Bitcoin to pay for any Jiasule services. Baidu Jiasule, as the innovator of the internet, has become the first cloud services vendor to support Bitcoin, giving us richer payment methods and experience. In the future, Baidu Jiasule will continue to try more new things, giving everyone more convenient payment options", the press release added.
But the fact that Baidu has surrendered to the cryptocurrency possibilities is just another sign that China is definitely being conquered by Bitcoin. The country is already the world's second nation with most downloads of the original Bitcoin client and the transactions operated by the exchange BtcChina have been growing amazingly in the last few months.
Besides, a very interesting message was recently transmitted via an official commentary published by China's Xinhua News Agency. The message said that "it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanized world. The cyclical stagnation in Washington for a viable bipartisan solution over a federal budget and an approval for raising the debt ceiling has again left many nations' tremendous dollar assets in jeopardy and the international community highly agonized. The world is still crawling its way out of an economic disaster thanks to the voracious Wall Street elites".
The key goal of this communication? To suggest the need of a new international reserve currency to replace the present reliance on United States dollars, according to Business Week. But what type of currency could that be? Well, for the Bitcoiners the answer is quite simple.
Although the Chinese message had a massive impact, it's not really a new topic. Back in 2009, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People's Bank of China, also suggested the creation of a new reserve currency "disconnected from individual nations and able to remain stable in the long run", calling it a "super-sovereign reserve currency".

"New Year's Day: Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual." –Mark Twain.
So I was going to write a trite article about how important it is to take vacations. Like, Duh. Water the root to enjoy the fruit. Don't we all know this by now? Vacations increase creativity, increase productivity, reduce stress, and basically make you live longer.
But let's face it, if I was to go on and on about how awesome my vacation was, you would probably just think, "blah, blah, blah good for you, you spoiled brat." So I've decided to do something a little different, and perhaps more fun. I'll call it Molly's 5 worst moments of vacationing in Mexico.
1. Here's something that seriously sucked: Waking up at 2:00 AM on 12/24 to catch a 6 AM flight.
2. Did I mention that every single night a mariachi band played LOUDLY at 10:30 PM. And then, just when they ended, the pirate ship would very LOUDLY announce its arrival into dock (our hotel was literally right next door to where it docked) by playing electronic dance/party music night, after night, after night, after night.
4. Did I mention that my 5 year old was barfing in the middle of the night on day 5? That was (not) super fun.
5. Sorry, but last I checked El Salvador was NOT on the way to Los Angeles. But we took a detour through it on our way home.
Come to think of it, I sound even more ungrateful for complaining about my awesome vacation. Try as I might to be negative, I can't help but smile as I write this, and I do feel grateful, blessed, relaxed, happy.
My mother was almost in tears when she bid us goodbye this morning. She played Santa Clause for the entire week, and gave my boys special toys appropriate to each day (balls to play on the beach, kites, etc.) My boys were basking in the love and affection.
But watching my father (Bapa) melt in the hands of my boys was probably my very favorite thing about the whole week away. "Bapa, will you play water tag with me," Brett pleaded with him. Bapa was about to excuse himself and go have some quiet time, but he couldn't resist my sweet 5 year old. Soon afterwards I heard squeals of delight coming from the water.
Moral of the story, of course, is this: Take a vacation. Get away. It puts priorities back in order.
So I lied. I guess I did write a trite post about the importance of taking vacations. Because the thing is… Even though our flights kinda sucked, and the hotel wasn't glamorous, and there were hiccups along the way, the closeness of a week spent together was truly amazing.
Wishing you a prosperous, healthy and happy 2013!

Random information on the term "BLEU":
In statistical analysis of binary classification, the F1 score (also F-score or F-measure) is a measure of a test's accuracy. It considers both the precision p and the recall r of the test to compute the score: p is the number of correct positive results divided by the number of all positive results, and r is the number of correct positive results divided by the number of positive results that should have been returned. The F1 score can be interpreted as a weighted average of the precision and recall, where an F1 score reaches its best value at 1 and worst at 0.
The traditional F-measure or balanced F-score (F1 score) is the harmonic mean of precision and recall — multiplying the constant of 2 scales the score to 1 when both recall and precision are 1:
The general formula for positive real β is:
The formula in terms of Type I and type II errors:
Two other commonly used F measures are the
{\displaystyle F_{2}}
measure, which weighs recall higher than precision (by placing more emphasis on false negatives), and the
{\displaystyle F_{0.5}}
measure, which weighs recall lower than precision (by attenuating the influence of false negatives).
BLEU on Wikipedia
Random information on the term "SWISS":
Swiss Global Air Lines (until February 2015 Swiss European Air Lines) is a Swiss airline and a subsidiary of Swiss International Air Lines and therefore also of the Lufthansa Group. Like its parent, Swiss Global is part of the Star Alliance. It has its legal headquarters in Basel; the physical head office is on the grounds of Zurich Airport and the town of Kloten.
Swiss Global Air Lines operates scheduled flights in the name and corporate design of its parent Swiss International to European metropolitan and some leisure destinations from Zürich Airport as well as some long-haul routes on behalf of its parent.
Swiss Global Air Lines was founded in 2005 as Swiss European Air Lines, to operate European routes for its parent company.
On 11 March 2009, the Lufthansa Group board announced that it planned to gradually replace the current Avro RJ100 fleet flown by Swiss Global with aircraft of the Bombardier CSeries from 2014. The replacement of the twenty RJ100s was planned to take two years, while an additional ten aircraft would be delivered thereafter to allow for capacity expansion. The new aircraft would allow Swiss to continue serving restricted destinations such as London City Airport or Florence Perétola Airport. With the delays to the Bombardier CSeries' development this date was postponed to 2015. It was further postponed, with the first delivery, of a CS100, taking place in June 2016 with the first revenue flight on 15 July. The Lufthansa Group is a launch customer for this aircraft type, and had previously signed a letter of intent for up to 60 aircraft.

Dr. Sophia Vinogradov directs a translational clinical neuroscience laboratory that focuses on cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. In collaboration with basic scientists, she studies neuroscience-informed computerized cognitive training exercises for patients with schizophrenia that aim to drive enduring plastic changes in cortical processing. The training programs utilize adaptive algorithms to adjust the difficulty level to maintain a 70-80% correct performance rate, allowing for a customized approach to each individual's initial performance level and progress rate. Spanning several aspects of cognitive functioning, the exercises fine tune sensory processing speed, working memory, and attention as well as higher-order cognitive processes. In turn, this results in significant improvements in untrained cognitive skills as well as improvements in quality of life. Dr. Vinogradov uses MEG and fMRI methods to probe the brain changes in both early sensory processing and higher-order cognitive operations in subjects who undergo this cognitive training. More recently, she has begun to apply these methods to the study of adolescents who are prodromal for schizophrenia and young adults in early psychosis, with the goal of delaying or preventing the onset of a deteriorating psychiatric illness. Her work has contributed to a growing interest in the use of computerized "brain training" to treat some of the brain information processing abnormalities of psychiatric illnesses.

IPHONE HEAVEN (Rixstep) — This really couldn't happen to a greater bunch of guys (and girls and in-betweens). Some of the finest and most likeable engineers in the world, working tirelessly and selflessly and always respecting the open Unix community.
Thanks, Apple.
Why this cause for jubilation? Why this sudden outpouring of love and respect?
Apple just announced a new line of overpriced self-abuse devices that carriers used to give away for free. Some of them cost ten times as much as a computer (from a vendor other than Apple of course).
Apple (and NeXT) have always been overpriced (or at least high-priced). Steve Jobs wanted to sell the original Macintosh for $1999. John Sculley took a first look at it and bumped the price by $500 to $2499. Cool move.
NeXT were high-priced too. But at least there was something of a justification. Except nobody wanted to buy the damned things.
Laptops are now selling for $300. Apple's cheapest machine costs four times that, and Apple's latest iTurd costs twice again as much.
The poll currently running at the Daily Mail indicates that over two-thirds of readers aren't interested in a pocket device that deep-throats a month's salary.
And don't forget Apple's international price-gouging policy, so those dirt-cheap models at almost $3000 can cost again as much in pounds sterling.
It's not certain if the prices quoted are Australian dollars or real dollars.
Mini              Regular          Pro               Pro Max
64GB - $1,199     64GB - $1,349    128GB - $1,699    128GB - $1,849
128GB - $1,279    128GB - $1,429    256GB - $1,869    256GB - $2,019
But why stop there when you can insult your customers even more?
Because this new toy will be absent the usual gadgetry things like this normally include by default.
No wall charger. No ear pods.
Apple fanboys are encouraged to start queueing up now.
Pandemic? Cluster contagion? Do it for Apple!

Judge rules Watt turbine can stay
By Tom Rivers, Editor Posted 15 December 2015 at 12:00 am
File photo by Tom Rivers – An acting Supreme Court justice has issued a ruling that the 154-foot-high wind turbine at Watt Farms on Route 98 doesn't have to be moved from a farm market and storage building. The issue has been in litigation with Gaines town officials demanding the turbine be relocated.
GAINES – A 154-foot-high wind turbine that has been the focus of lawsuits doesn't have to be relocated, a State Supreme Court judge ruled on Friday.
The Town of Gaines Zoning Board of Appeals on Dec. 4, 2013, said the turbine would have to be moved away from a farm market and U-pick orchard at Watt Farms.
James Punch, acting Supreme Court justice in Orleans County, upheld the Gaines ZBA last December. However, the decision and the Gaines position was challenged by the state Department of Agriculture and Markets.
Ag and Markets said forcing the Watts to move the turbine, at a cost of $20,000, would unreasonable and unnecessary, according to a letter on Jan. 14, 2015 from Richard A. Ball, commissioner of Ag and Markets.
He sent the letter to town officials, telling them they needed to comply with the Agriculture and Markets Law.
Punch, in a decision on Friday, said his decision a year ago was made without the Determination and Order from Ag and Markets. The state agency had sent advisory letters on the issue before Punch's decision in December 2014, but the Determination and Order followed.
Ag and Markets said Gaines, with its insistence the turbine be moved, "unreasonably restricts the farm operation." Punch sides with Watts in his latest decision and tells Gaines it must comply with the order from Ag and Markets, dated Jan. 13, 2015.
Ag and Markets in that order said the town didn't use the proper setback distance. Gaines determined the setback distance by multiplying the 154-foot turbine by 1.1 for a 169.4-foot setback minimum.
Gaines officials said the turbine needed to be moved at least 169.4 feet away from the farm market, train ride course and designated U-pick areas.
Ag and Markets suggested the setback from "human-occupied buildings" be five times the rotor distance or five times 23.6 feet, which would be 118 feet for the Watt turbine. Ag and Markets based that suggestion from the recommendation by New York State Energy Research and Development Authority or NYSERDA.
NYSERDA uses that setback for buildings that are occupied a majority of the time and not occasionally, such as in Watt's situation. The train route at Watt's and the U-pick area are temporarily visited by the public and insisting on a setback there "unreasonably restricts the farm operation," Ball said in his letter.
