Wow, we're already half-way through 2017 and it has already been a 'HUGEEE' year for on-demand audio as publishers continue to fight for your loyalty & listenership. We're likely to see more industry consolidation too, which ultimately should make your choice of discovery easier.
It's undeniable the impact the smartphone has had and continues to have on the podcast medium. This certainly has made podcasting readily available to the masses. Mobile accessibility has exponentially enhanced the trajectory of the industry, with Podcast consumption on smartphones reaching over 80%. This means listening is literally at everyone's fingertips, where just a few years ago podcast discovery was way more cumbersome.
With so many confusing choices for audio consumers to stagger through, industry consolidation is upon us…and it's just a matter of time until dominos start to fall (tick tock tick tock). Just as important will be watching what the big audio and streaming players do (Spotify, Apple, Pandora, Sirius, etc). We already saw Sirius taking a bite out of Pandora (incremental consolidation). Apple has stepped up, announcing that analytics are finally coming. And it's great to see Spotify curating custom podcasts while watching iHeart invest in people and the platform. Then, there's the 'Air Force One' of the industry , NPR. No matter what the audio powerhouses end up doing, look for the industry to eventually begin to move in a unified voice, consolidating for the better. I also liked the effort of #TryPod, as far as 37 publishers coming together to finally promote the industry…as one! At least that's a small step in the right direction.
Seeing what broadcasters like Mike Francesa do after his contract ends at WFAN bodes well for podcasting. As mainstream broadcast influencers continue to jump head first into the industry, they're going to bring 'tons' of newpods with them (first-time listeners). Reputable, established broadcasters want relevancy and the clout of having control…hence, creating their own podcast only makes sense. As they jump in (like Bill O'Reilly did), they bring with them massive social media reach. This trend will only enhance podcast listenership, driving revenues, as new broadcasters enter the vast field of podcasting. It's the 'monkey-see monkey do' attitude that is taking hold of the industry.
While live audio, via Facebook, provides an opportunity to drive discovery, the question is whether the industry wants to allow Facebook to control delivery. As we know, Facebook often changes algorithms to best impact their selfish revenue streams, so this is a bit of a wild-card. However, YouTube, and repurposing audio continues to be explosive since podcasters & publishers alike can share in the revenue. Any way you slice it, video will impact on-demand audio, especially when it comes to discovery, distribution, and revenue.
How many of you purchased Alexa over the holiday, or the Amazon Echo? There's no denying the trajectory of voice command technology, and podcast publishers all will align with this technology. Whether it's speaking to Siri, listening to a podcast on Amazon Echo when you cook, voice technology is here to stay…or should we say 'hear' to stay. And yes, all this voice-activated technology will be available on the dashboard of your car. So, the industry must align with it! And it will enhance discovery, making it less cumbersome to listen and discover your favorite podcast.
Innovation starts with an entrepreneurial spirit and terrestrial radio companies have found it painfully difficult to embrace change. Watching Spotify, Pandora, and other audio companies drive a digital narrative has been painful for many in the industry. Our prediction is that you'll finally see Radio put digital innovation at the top of the food chain, giving them a seat at the table, demanding old-school programmers pivot to where consumers are discovering content. We like what we see at iHeart, especially with the roll-out of their premium app & their focus on a podcast strategy.
In addition, the 'mainstreaming of podcasting' is hitting Broadcast Television too. Have microphone, will podcast. Shows like 60 Minutes, Meet the Press, CBS Sunday Morning News, The Rachel Maddow Show, MSNBC's Morning Joe, and 48 Hours are giving a shot in the arm to the industry. Content can easily be re-purposed, via a podcast. If Radio & TV promote the hell out of the platform, there's no limit on how successful they will be in capturing an already large audience to explore their on-demand platforms.
There's no holding back the digital trend towards programmatic advertising, dynamically inserting one-to-one targeted ads, regardless of device, into a show. Spots will be pre-recorded segments that can easily fit into any podcast listening format. Companies like Adswizz are bringing dynamically inserted ads to podcast advertising, strengthening value and life of long-tail podcasts.
Despite incremental advances in programmatic solutions, this is where podcast advertising loses its endearing charm, the one-to-one personal engagement with the host. However, programmatic can help solve delivery problems for shows with long-tails and drive revenues for shows with evergreen content and excess inventory. It can fill capacity, driving revenues effortlessly for the industry. There's no denying the evolution towards programmatic and the digital demands calling for geo-targeted dynamic inserted ads. The fact remains that these ads won't have the same clout of live native ads, but it will help solve inventory issues for long-tail shows. Bottom line, we hope the industry controls access points to this type of advertising as not to diminish CPMs or dilute the live-read charm.
Brands love creating compelling content, and nothing does a better job than using live experiences to capture and deploy one's brand message, which then can be shared virally via social platforms. Using podcast influencers (podfluencers) makes sense for brands, having 'live podcasts' on site. Bringing an ad campaign to life through the extension of traditional advertising syncs up perfectly to podcasting, and the PR & influencer engagement, on-site, adds substantial value that certainly will ignite social sharing.
Major brands have embraced native advertising strategies, and nothing works better in the podcasting industry than organic, live reads (endorsements). Brands like Mac Weldon, Blue Apron, and Wix view podcasts hosts as brand ambassadors, to deliver messaging to an audience that wants to hear what the podcaster is saying. The growth of native advertising and driving integrating messaging succinctly across multiple platforms will continue to make podcast advertising highly attractive in 2017. We just have to make some major noise within the digital buying community, advancing a narrative must be heard.
Big brands are getting so comfortable with the concept of podcasts, that they've started to literally produce their own. Companies like, Netflix, and Prudential have successfully done it, and Slate and Panoply have teams that work with brands to execute this strategy. GE has one of the more established success stories in this space (yes, a 100-year old company like GE), created an eight-episode sci-fi series called The Message. They've continued to shape their brand message with another series called "LifeAfter. When companies like GE see the value of podcasts, you know the herd will start following soon.
Final thought, there's another IMPORTANT fact that is making podcasting great again. As much we are exhausted with the political discourse in the country, it is driving demand for political podcasts like POD SAVE AMERICA. There's no doubt that news gathering organizations are thriving. Traditional media outlets like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and of course NPR! I could have easily put this paragraph at the top of the list, and made 11 items a part of this story…but 10 made for a better title.

1.	Tell us about Wish You Were Here?
Wish You Were Here is a romantic comedy about a Plain Jane who makes a wish on a statue of Aphrodite – the goddess of love – whilst on holiday on an idyllic Greek island and then finds herself irresistible to men! But is that really the best way to find true love?
2.	Was it fun to write?
Indeed! I had so much fun writing this book because Alice gets herself into all sorts of trouble after making the wish. It also has one of my favourite ever heroes – handsome Greek gardener, Milo Galani, and one of the most romantic endings I've ever written.
3.	It's set in part on a Greek island, did you do any travelling as research?
Unfortunately, I didn't get to visit Greece as part of my research. We'd just moved house and everything was a bit chaotic with boxes and animals everywhere but I have visited Italy's stunning Amalfi coast and the beautiful island of Capri and both were inspirational to me when I was writing this book.
4.	What's your favourite holiday destination?
I really hate flying and so I much prefer loading our car up with the laptop and the spaniel (and the husband!) and holidaying in the UK. One of our favourite destinations is Dorset and Devon. The coast and countryside are glorious and I love striding out across the cliffs and along the wild footpaths over Dartmoor. Oh, and the cream teas are very good too!
5.	Stella and Alice are really different characters, who was the most fun to write?
I love writing characters that are so different from each other and 'love to hate' characters are always so much fun. I have quite a collection of them now from bossy Mrs Soames in A Weekend with Mr Darcy to double-crossing Alec in Mr Darcy Forever. But Alice was special too because she's a truly good person who is often overlooked by those around her.
6. Where did the idea for the wish plot come from?
7.	What was the hardest part of the writing process for this novel?
Getting the balance right between Alice's time on Kethos and her time at home in the UK. I had two distinct settings to juggle and I was worried about getting the right feel for the book.
8.	I can imagine this book as a film. Who would you cast as Alice, Stella and Milo?
Ooooh! I'd love to see Gael Garcia Bernal as Milo. He's so gorgeous and such a great actor. Romola Garai would make a wonderful Alice – I loved her sweetness of character in I Capture the Castle. And Stella? I think Emily Blunt would be brilliant.
9.	It's a nice escapist read. What's your favourite escapist book?
H.E. Bates' The Darling Buds of May is sheer perfection and Miss Read's Fairacre stories set in an idyllic English village. Both writers' books are filled with wonderful descriptions of the English countryside and have larger-than-life characters you can't help but fall in love with.
10.	Which writers do you admire?
H.E. Bates is my favourite writer and I admire how he was never pigeon-holed by publishers but wrote everything from short stories to full-length novels, autobiography to books on the natural world. He followed his heart and is a true inspiration to me. In fact, it's because of him that I've just released my first non-fiction title – Escape to Mulberry Cottage - about our recent move from the London suburbs to rural Suffolk with ex-battery hens in tow!
11.	What's the best and worst thing about being an author?
Best – you're your own boss and you can work from home, making up your own timetable.
Worst – I suffer from RSI if I do too much. I just can't stop writing and it sometimes hurts. Ouch!
12.	At what point do you know an idea is going to work?
When you can't stop thinking about it and just have to write it down. It nags and nags at you and won't go away. That's when I know!
13.	What's been the biggest lesson you've learnt about publishing?
That nothing is permanent. I've had four agents in the UK now which I never imagined would happen. Editors change all the time too and publishers change their mind about what they want. An author must be flexible and independent and know what they want from the business and not be afraid to change with the times.
14.	Do you have any other books in the pipeline?
Oh, yes! September will bring another Austen Addicts novella – Happy Birthday, Mr Darcy! And there's going to be another short ebook in the Mulberry Cottage series. And I'm working on my next novel too which is set in a big country house during a long hot summer in rural Norfolk.
15.	And finally, if you could be granted one wish what would it be?
That my husband and I would have a long, happy and healthy life together doing what we love most – painting and writing!

Republicans Launch New Push To Arm Ukraine
Senate Republicans are pressing the Obama administration to do more to help Ukraine and hurt Russia and are introducing a new bill that would provide for weapons, sanctions, and more aid.
Josh Rogin
Updated Apr. 14, 2017 4:13PM ET / Published Apr. 30, 2014 12:23PM ET
Jonathan Ernst/Reuters
Nineteen Republican Senators joined together Wednesday to unveil new legislation on Ukraine and Russia Wednesday in an effort to pressure the Obama administration to increase its support for the embattled Ukrainian government and provider harsher sanctions on the Russian government and economy.
The legislation is borne out of increasing GOP frustration with the Obama administration's policy. It would authorize arms for the Ukrainian armed forces and mandate, with a waiver for the president, more sanctions against Russian officials, banks, and leading companies including Gazprom and Rosnoft. The bill is sponsored by Bob Corker, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and co-sponsored by eighteen other Republicans including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and John McCain.
"There's a genuine concern about the policy that we have toward Ukraine and Russia and a real concern that if it continues as it is it will increasingly put our country and our world in a more dangerous situation," Corker, who traveled to Ukraine last week, told The Daily Beast in an interview Wednesday. "It's a bill to help drive an outcome, that's its purpose. It's a bill to try to get the administration to focus on a real strategy and a real policy toward Ukraine, Russia, and Europe."
If Russia doesn't stop destabilizing Eastern Ukraine and pull its troops back from the border, the bill would require sanctions on the major Russian corporations of Sberbank, VTB Bank, Vnesheconombank, Gazprombank, Gazprom, Novatek, Rosneft, and Rosboronexport, all of their subsidiaries, and all of their executives. If Putin doesn't withdraw from Crimea, the bill would mandate the U.S. sanction all Russian officials and agents involved in violating Ukrainian sovereignty, including their close associates and family members.
If Putin actually invades Ukraine, the bill would require drastic sanctions including cutting Russia off from the global financial system, imposing asset blocking and visa bans on all senior Russian officials, the entities they own, asset blocking and visa bans on any Russian entity that operates in the arms, defense, energy, financial services, metals, or mining sectors in Russia and cutting off all Russian financial institutions from the U.S. financial system.
"What we're saying is that Russia is winning and they don't have to go into Eastern Ukraine. They can continue doing what they are doing," said Corker. "We're going to impose some sectoral sanctions now… we have another level of sanctions that take place if they actually incur inside the country with troops."
The bill also authorizes President Obama to give Ukraine military assistance including lethal assistance such as "anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons and small arms." The legislation also calls for strengthening U.S. force structure in Europe, bolstering U.S. support for NATO, increasing assistance to Poland and the Baltic States, speeding up U.S. deployment of ballistic missile defense in Europe, and preventing Russia from flying spy planes with updated radar systems over U.S. soil under the Open Skies Treaty.
Administration officials often say they are not contemplating lethal arms for Ukraine because of concern that it would only increase the risks of war with Russia, but Corker said the lack of U.S. help for Ukraine's beleaguered military actually makes a conflict more likely.
"We're all concerned that if the president continues on the line he's laid out, it's going to lead to some kind of kinetic activity and that's dangerous," he said.

Q: how to make a stream of Map[String, Any] using flink let's assume that we have this json
{
  "Account Informations": {
    "User Info": {
      "User Name": "Albert Goldstein",
      "Date": "03/27/2015 08:35:11",

    },
    "User": {
      "Email": "FlinkIsDifficult@gmail.com",
      "Password": "*******"
    }
  }
}

as a DataStream i want to get another JSON which contains
{
        "User": {
          "Email": "FlinkIsDifficult@gmail.com",
          "Password": "*******"
        }
}

also is there any way to parse the document by field ? like get("Email") and it returns "FlinkIsDifficult@gmail.com" ??
thanks :)

A: You can work with the JSON like you would in any other Java or Scala program. See the answers to this question for help with doing this in Java. You can then apply whatever approach you choose inside of a Flink map() or flatmap() function to do the transformation.
If your JSON is coming from Kafka, you might rather use a KafkaJsonTableSource.

11 essential hardware and software tools for modern dance music production
By Electronic Musician (emusician) 01 April 2020
The backbone of any producer's electronic arsenal
(Image credit: Getty/Mads Perch)
Since the disco craze 40 years ago, dance music has become inextricably linked with technology. For example, the Roland MKS-20 digital piano was the definitive house piano sound when the genre was born, though the Korg M1 later superseded it.
Similarly, the Roland Alpha Juno was a huge component of the '90s rave sound, thanks to its "Hoover" preset, which can now be re-created with modern softsynths. Meanwhile, instruments such as the TB-303,-808, and-909 continue to be staples in dance-production setups and lend instant credibility thanks to their signature sound.
But as styles change, new technologies become essential, both for improved workflow and for making sure your tracks sound legit in the context of a set. Purists may argue that it doesn't matter which synth you use as long as the music grooves, but history begs to differ.
For example, the Roland JP-8000's supersaw has become such a necessary component for epic trance and EDM that nearly every modern synthesizer now ships with its own version.
Here, we focus on 11 products/technologies that have become essential to modern dance-music creators in a variety of popular genres. But because the lines between styles are fluid, our genre suggestions are merely that–a shorthand recommendation that we're sure artists will expand upon as they work.
Ableton Push 2
Considering that Ableton's Push arrived four years after the Maschine Mk I release, it's hard not to draw comparisons. But while Maschine started as a plug-in that expanded into sequencing and production, Push was designed from the ground up to be a hardware controller for the myriad components of Ableton's immensely popular DAW, Live.
The first Push's character-based LCD screen was reminiscent of the original MPC, which should come as no surprise as the hardware was actually a collaboration between Ableton and Akai. Two years later, Ableton amicably brought the Push 2 hardware in-house, updating the screen to a graphic-centric OLED that allowed users to sample, edit waveforms, and adjust effects or synths in a much more cohesive manner.
In addition to its enormous 8x8 grid of velocity-and pressure-sensitive pads, one of the most compelling aspects of Push is that it can be used to control nearly every aspect of Live's workflow, without a lot of arcane menus and searching for parameters. Ableton's attention to seamless user interfaces shines with Push, which is why it's finding its way into non-dance music-based rigs, too.
While Push can integrate with any plug-in that's compatible with Live, one of its most popular uses is serving as a hardware controller for Ableton's iconic softsynth, Operator: This synth has its own cult-like following as an essential part of countless techno tracks, Skrillex's early sound, and now trap and hip hop.
Of course, everything in Ableton Live can be harnessed via Push, often without even glancing at your computer display. This makes it far more than just a controller.
Korg Volcas
(Image credit: Korg)
While the Minilogue and Monologue are quickly becoming mainstays in dance production rigs, it's the Volcas that found their way into the hearts of techno producers, worldwide.
The brainchild of wunderkind synth designer Tatsuya Takahashi, the series kicked off in late 2013 with the trio of the lo-fi Volca Beats, the 303-like Volca Bass and the paraphonic Volca Keys, featuring proper analogue oscillators and filters along with voltage-based sync, making it easy to get grooves properly locked. In addition to capturing an immediate following with the techno scene, the combination of affordability and easy access to the internal components made the Volcas a hit with the circuit-bending crowd, who immediately upgraded the Volca Beats with a snappier snare.
The success of the original trio led to three more units, the Volca Sample (a loose homage to the MPC), Volca FM (which featured compatibility with DX7 presets) and the Volca Kick, which is possibly the best analogue trap kick-generator on the market right now.
Like Eurorack modular gear, the Volca series' affordability makes it possible for producers to pick each one up with spare beer money every few months and expand their rigs over time. Combined with Korg's Ableton Link-enabled SyncKontrol app, it's even possible to get everything locked with Ableton Live DJ rigs and impromptu iOS jams.
Moog Music Sub 37
(Image credit: Moog)
When Deadmau5 exploded onto the scene in 2007, the biggest question among producers was how to get his massive electro lead and bass sounds. Short answer: It's a Moog; specifically, the Voyager.
But you can also get "that sound" from a Sub 37. For many, it is actually preferable to the Voyage because of its thoroughly modern modulation amenities such as dual LFOs, looping envelopes, updated multidrive, and an intelligently designed sequencer/arpeggiator—all of which are available from a knob-per-function front panel that begs to be touched.
While the Sub 37 excels at monster electro sounds, it's swiftly developing a following among techno artists with its innate ability to sound dirty, mixed with its unusual modulation options. In fact, from a production standpoint, you can only fit one or two Moog parts in a track because they dominate most other elements. This can make dense mixes a tad challenging. But that's ok because it's entirely possible to base a hit track on two Moog parts. Just ask Deadmau5.
It's also worth noting that the original Moog sound defined '70s and '80s funk, so the Sub 37 is right at home on bass and leads for retro-tinged R&B, trap, and hip-hop. For that reason, savvy producers with an ear for soul will almost always include a Moog in their rig.
Native Instruments Maschine
(Image credit: Native Instruments)
It's not a huge leap of the imagination to suggest that the unstoppable success of Akai's MPC series inspired Native Instruments to develop Maschine, a hybrid system consisting of a pad-based controller that works in conjunction with NI's enormous range of software synths and samplers.
Maschine's original focus, like the MPC, was squarely on software-based sampling and pattern sequencing, incorporating elements of the developer's Komplete software suite. In 2012, Maschine Mk II arrived, with a new audio engine, advanced sequencing, and far deeper integration with NI's Komplete bundle. At that point, Maschine came into its own as an integrated composition and production tool for nearly every type of electronic music—dance-based or otherwise.
While an exhaustive analysis of Komplete is outside the scope of this feature, Maschine's integration with NI's Massive cannot be understated. As a softsynth, Massive dominated the early evolution of genres such as progressive/EDM and dubstep. Even to this day, Massive is a core component of many big-room styles, more so than some of NI's more complex offerings like Absynth and Reaktor.
That said, it's hard to single out individual softsynths in the Native Instruments catalogue of products as tools for specific genres. They're all part and parcel of the current world of dance music production. And for many producers, Maschine is the glue that ties them together.
Novation Peak
(Image credit: Novation)
For a synth that's barely started shipping, Novation Peak's buzz in the dance world–specifically progressive and trance–is astonishing. And despite the BassStation II's entrenched success in the UK scene, we have a feeling that Peak is going to find its way into even more production setups, thanks to its revolutionary approach to oscillator design.
Referred to as NCOs (numerically controlled oscillators), Peak's oscillator DACs operate at 24 MHz (24 million times per second), theoretically obliterating any form of aliasing and veering into the sonic "purity" of analogue oscillators. These three NCOs offer standard waveforms, wavetable synthesis, and cross-modulation, and they are followed by a proper analogue multimode filter, along with three analogue distortion points within the signal chain.
State-of-the-art specifications aside, Peak's features combined with Novation's street cred virtually ensure that this synth is going to be a big part of forward-thinking gearheads, especially thanks to a front panel festooned with knobs and faders.
Roland AIRA/Boutiques

While the System-8 is the mothership of the AIRA line for artists who need to have it all in one place (and the TR-8 nails the sound of 808-centric trap), Roland's Boutique line and AIRA System-1 have become go-to modules for artists who want extremely specific sounds without the expense and hassle of acquiring vintage units.
For example, the System-1 offers superwaves for massive festival leads, yet it can also double as a note-perfect SH-101 clone if you're looking for the rave sound of the early '90s. Speaking of raves, their new TB-03 is arguably the top hardware 303 clone for acid house and techno, and its integrated distortion and delay/reverb means you don't have to cart around guitar pedals as you did in the old days.
To capture the timbres of the popular Juno-106, Roland added the JU-06 to its stable of Boutique synths. That's because the Juno-106 was not only essential to '80s electropop, its flavour helped define the early house and techno scenes of the '90s. Essentially, it was a polyphonic SH-101 with a lush chorus, and its speciality remains vintage pads, along with the occasional noise-infused lead. As a side note, the Juno's sub-oscillator and juicy resonance found their way into numerous '80s-era funk and R&B tracks, so it's got soul, too.
The AIRA TR-8 includes an array of legit 909 sounds in addition to its 808 (and optional 707), but the Boutique TR-09 has stolen some of its thunder–especially for fans of '90s-era classic house, which requires 909 kick, snare, hats and cymbals for authenticity. Interestingly, the 909 toms are easily identifiable in early techno, and the 909 kick is to hardstyle what the 808 kick is to trap.
Rounding out the Boutiques, the JP-08 and VP-03 are tailor-made for synthwave, as the originals were used by legions of synthpop acts in the 1980s. Based on the Jupiter-8, the JP-08's presets read like a hit parade of essential new wave sounds, while the VP-03's vocoder evokes both Laurie Anderson and Daft Punk.
Another big feature of the Boutique series synths is their compatibility with almost every relevant synth standard, including voltage triggers and CV/gate (on the TR-09 and TB-03, respectively), as well as both DIN MIDI and USB audio/MIDI on all units. With a bit of latency adjustment on the audio side, you can even sync their integrated sequencers via USB to compatible DJ software if you're feeling ambitious.

Korg M1 Legacy Edition
By many accounts, the Korg M1 (and its related successors) sold more units than any other hardware synthesizer, including the DX7 and Minimoog. As a result, its sound is firmly entrenched as part of the fibre of '90s pop and more specifically the house music of that era. So, if you want street cred in the world of deep and classic house production, you need that piano sound (Piano 16') and those organs (Organ 2 and Organ 4). Yes, you can use other synths, but it just doesn't sound "right."
And if you're into other '90s dance genres, skimming through the M1 presets, you'll find quite a few instantly identifiable sounds from that time, like the choir, Lore (a rainstick-like ambience) and Pole (a struck flagpole that's great for vintage metallic clanks). On the percussion side, the M1 finger snaps appeared in quite a few deep house tracks as well.
Getting around on an original, hardware M1 was a bit of a chore, with its two-line LCD, but fortunately its essence is still available in two software flavours with easy graphic interfaces: Korg's Legacy Collection (VST, AU and RTAS) and the iM1 for iOS. Both are priced under $50 and the iOS version integrates directly into Korg Gadget if that's your mobile studio of choice.
Lennar Digital Sylenth1
(Image credit: Lennar Digital)
First released in 2007, Sylenth1 was an instant worldwide hit with the trance scene, but its following quickly grew far beyond that market, thanks to its clean virtual-analogue oscillators with impressive anti-aliasing. Better still, it is extremely lightweight on CPU usage. Both of those traits helped propel Sylenth1 beyond the trance scene and into the DAWs of producers in a wide range of dance genres, including modern synthwave tracks. One particular reason is that its straightforward synthesis tools are enhanced by a baked-in approach to layering.
Essentially, every Sylenth1 preset can consist of two virtual-analogue synths with classic, familiar features and a strikingly warm sound. Newcomers can quickly delve into the dual layers without feeling lost in modulation and wavetable options, which lends itself to a fast workflow. More advanced users can tinker with the filter routings, which let you feed the output of either layer's oscillators into the other's filter or combine them all for unusual filtering effects. From there, Sylenth1 offers an array of useful effects, including a punchy compressor that's a big part of its sonic identity, even now.
Another fan-feature is an arpeggiator that cleverly integrates a one-bar step sequencer as an option, making light work of everything from acid-like 303 riffs to vintage Giorgio Moroder patterns. Nowadays, there's an endless assortment of alternatives, but Sylenth1's fan base remains committed for a reason: It sounds great, goes easy on the CPU, and doesn't overwhelm you with options.
Reveal Sound Spire
(Image credit: Reveal Sound)
Spire may seem "underground" Stateside, but across the pond it has an enthusiastic following among iconic trance acts such as Dash Berlin, Armin van Buuren, and Ferry Corsten. On one hand, it's heavily inspired by a few more popular synths on this list, but its sound is decidedly more digital and edgy than its forebears, so ultimately this becomes a matter of taste.
Just cruising through the presets, it's immediately apparent that Spire doesn't try to sound analogue or anti-aliased. As a result, the factory collection is full of hard, in-your-face digital textures that cut through big-room mixes unapologetically. In fact, if you're a trance or hardstyle aficionado, you may even hear a few familiar patches from countless festivals.
If you're a fan of that hard European arena sound, designing original patches in Spire will keep you busy for a very long time: It provides four oscillators (each offering multiple synthesis types, including preset wavetables), dual multimode filters, extensive modulation options, and bright multi-effects section. While all of that may seem like overkill, the end results nail the ingredients of the genres that rely on its sound.
Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2
(Image credit: Spectrasonics)
Omnisphere 2 has an interesting relationship with dance music. Designed by legendary programmer Eric Persing—a man who arguably defined the modern concept of "Rockstar Sound Designer"—Omnisphere's original users consisted largely of synthesis connoisseurs, soundtrack composers, and forward-thinking electronic musicians. Let's face it, Omnisphere's feature set is not only deep but intimidating, combining an extensive collection of gorgeous sampled instruments, wavetable and granular synthesis, FM, eight simultaneous arpeggiators, and up to 10 tone sources per voice. This synth is not for the faint-hearted.
But thanks to a rapidly growing market for preset libraries that are tailored to specific dance genres—and the ability to import your own original audio into its synthesis engine—Omnisphere is now insinuating itself into nearly every modern genre that depends on radical "how'd they do that" sounds.
While there's always been a fan base with progressive and trance diehards thanks to its huge collection of lush pads and hard stabs, future house and trap are now embracing Omnisphere in a big way.

Like Ableton Live, Serum is one of those rare tools that lets you do pretty much anything you can think of, without forcing you to navigate an unruly or cluttered interface, which is why it instantly caught everyone's attention when it arrived nearly three years ago. (Full disclosure: I've designed several preset packs for Xfer, largely because I love working with Serum.)
For starters, its dual wavetable oscillators have no audible aliasing (a tough trick to pull off ) and offer a huge range of preset options. And when it comes to creating your own wavetables (via an incredible range of methods), the process is absolutely painless. Serum even lets you drag and drop audio files for wavetable conversion, and if you've done a tiny bit of advance planning, the imported audio will instantly turn into something useful.
As for filtering, Serum includes nearly 100 options covering everything from standard multimode fare to exotic ring-mod and reverb types. Lastly, you can integrate your own original audio samples by dragging and dropping them onto the noise generator, where they can be tuned and routed to the filter, then layered with the two oscillators and a flexible sub-oscillator.
Naturally, Serum offers extensive modulation and effects, but with designer Steve Duda's background as a teacher, the four graphic envelopes and eight LFOs all display exactly what's going on every time you hit a key. What's more, almost anything can be modulated by simply dragging-and-dropping elements, which feels a little like plugging in patch cables. And if you're modulating something like filter cutoff, its curve will move in synchronization, too.
When it was first introduced, Serum quickly found a following among dubstep and EDM producers, but as word of its capabilities spread, it became a big part of the trap, future bass, and synthwave scenes. Best of all, if you have a Splice.com account, you can rent-to-own Serum for $10/month. That, too, is groundbreaking.

Q: Hint HINT_PASS_DISTINCT_THROUGH reduces the amount of Entities returned per page for a PageRequest down to below the configured page size (PostgreSQL) I'm setting up a JPA Specification based repository implementation that utilizes jpa specifications(constructed based on RSQL filter strings) to filter the results, define result ordering and remove any duplicates via "distinct" that would otherwise be returned due to joined tables. The JPA Specification builder method joins several tables and sets the "distinct" flag:
final Join<Object, Object> rootJoinedTags = root.join("tags", JoinType.LEFT);
final Join<Object, Object> rootJoinedLocations = root.join("location", JoinType.LEFT);
...
query.distinct(true);

To allow sorting by joined table columns, I've applied the "HINT_PASS_DISTINCT_THROUGH" hint to the relevant repository method(otherwise, sorting by joined table columns returns an error along the lines of "sort column must be included in the SELECT DISTINCT query").
@QueryHints(value = {
        @QueryHint(name = org.hibernate.jpa.QueryHints.HINT_PASS_DISTINCT_THROUGH, value = "false")
    })
    Page<SomeEntity> findAll(@Nullable Specification<SomeEntity> spec, Pageable pageable);

The arguments for said repository method are constructed as such:
final Sort sort = getSort(searchFilter);
        final Specification spec = getSpecificationIfPresent(searchFilter);
        final PageRequest pageRequest = PageRequest.of(searchFilter.getPageNumber(), searchFilter.getLimit(), sort);

        return eventRepository.findAll(spec, pageRequest);

After those changes, filtering and sorting seem to work as expected. However, the hint seems to cause "distinct" filtering to be applied after the result page is already constructed, thus reducing the number of returned entities in the page from the configured "size" PageRequest argument, to whatever is left after the duplicates are filtered out. For example, if we'd make a PageRequest with "page=0" and "pageSize=10", then the resulting Page may return only 5 "SomeEntity" instances, although the database contains way more entries(177 entities to be exact in this case). If I remove the hint, then the returned entities number is correct again.
Question: is there a way to make the same Specification query setup work with correctly sized Pages(some other hints that might be added to have duplicate filtering performed before the Page object is constructed)? If not, then is there another approach I could use to achieve the required Specification-based filtering, with joined-column sorting and duplicate removal as with "distinct"?
PS: PostgreSQL is the database behind the application in question

A: The problem you are experimenting have to do with the way you are using the HINT_PASS_DISTINCT_THROUGH hint.
This hint allows you to indicate Hibernate that the DISTINCT keyword should not be used in the SELECT statement issued against the database.
You are taking advantage of this fact to allow your queries to be sorted by a field that is not included in the DISTINCT column list.
But that is not how this hint should be used.
This hint only must be used when you are sure that there will be no difference between applying or not a DISTINCT keyword to the SQL SELECT statement, because the SELECT statement already will fetch all the distinct values per se. The idea is improve the performance of the query avoiding the use of an unnecessary DISTINCT statement.
This is usually what will happen when you use the query.distinct method in you criteria queries, and you are join fetching child relationships. This great article of @VladMihalcea explain how the hint works in detail.
On the other hand, when you use paging, it will set OFFSET and LIMIT - or something similar, depending on the underlying database - in the SQL SELECT statement issued against the database, limiting to a maximum number of results your query.
As stated, if you use the HINT_PASS_DISTINCT_THROUGH hint, the SELECT statement will not contain the DISTINCT keyword and, because of your joins, it could potentially give duplicate records of your main entity. This records will be processed by Hibernate to differentiate duplicates, because you are using query.distinct, and it will in fact remove duplicates if needed. I think this is the reason why you may get less records than requested in your Pageable.
If you remove the hint, as the DISTINCT keyword is passed in the SQL statement which is sent to the database, as far as you only project information of the main entity, it will fetch all the records indicated by LIMIT and this is why it will give you always the requested number of records.
You can try and fetch join your child entities (instead of only join with them). It will eliminate the problem of not being able to use the field you need to sort by in the columns of the DISTINCT keyword and, in addition, you will be able to apply, now legitimately, the hint.
But if you do so it will you another problem: if you use join fetch and pagination, to return the main entities and its collections, Hibernate will no longer apply pagination at database level - it will no include OFFSET or LIMIT keywords in the SQL statement, and it will try to paginate the results in memory. This is the famous Hibernate HHH000104 warning:
HHH000104: firstResult/maxResults specified with collection fetch; applying in memory!

@VladMihalcea explain that in great detail in the last part of this article.
He also proposed one possible solution to your problem, Window Functions.
In you use case, instead of using Specifications, the idea is that you implement your own DAO. This DAO only need to have access to the EntityManager, which is not a great deal as you can inject your @PersistenceContext:
@PersistenceContext
protected EntityManager em;

Once you have this EntityManager, you can create native queries and use window functions to build, based on the provided Pageable information, the right SQL statement that will be issued against the database. This will give you a lot of more freedom about what fields use for sorting or whatever you need.
As the last cited article indicates, Window Functions is a feature supported by all mayor databases.
In the case of PostgreSQL, you can easily come across them in the official documentation.
Finally, one more option, suggested in fact by @nickshoe, and explained in great detail in the article he cited, is to perform the sorting and paging process in two phases: in the first phase, you need to create a query that will reference your child entities and in which you will apply paging and sorting. This query will allow you to identify the ids of the main entities that will be used, in the second phase of the process, to obtain the main entities themselves.
You can take advantage of the aforementioned custom DAO to accomplish this process.

A: It may be an off-topic answer, but it may help you.
You could try to tackle this problem (pagination of parent-child entities) by separating the query in two parts:

*

*a query for retrieving the ids that match the given criteria

*a query for retrieving the actual entities by the resulting ids of the previous query

I came across this solution in this blog post: https://vladmihalcea.com/fix-hibernate-hhh000104-entity-fetch-pagination-warning-message/


Fever. This is one symptom that automatically rules out school, no questions. (Anywhere from 100 to 101 degrees or higher is the usual guideline used by most schools.) Your sick child should be fever-free without medication for at least 24 hours before you send him back to school.
Diarrhea. This could be a sign of a viral infection, so it's best to keep your child at home. It's also important to keep rehydrating him with an oral rehydrating solution when he has diarrhea, and the best way to do that is by keeping him at home.
Vomiting. Aside from the fact that your child won't be comfortable, he could vomit again (in our house, one bout of vomiting is usually followed by another). Keep him home until he has gone 24 hours without throwing up -- though some parents and doctors say it's fine to send a child to school if he hasn't vomited since the night before.
Cough. This depends on how severe the cough is. Coughs can spread infection to other students. A serious cough can also keep a child from getting a good night's rest, which means he'll be too tired for school in the morning. As a general rule, if your child has a serious cough, particularly if it's accompanied by breathing troubles, call your doctor and keep him home. But if it's just a mild cough and he has no other symptoms, he can probably go to school.
Rashes. Skin rashes could be a sign of a contagious infection, such as impetigo. You should have a rash evaluated by a doctor before sending your child to school.
Pinkeye (conjunctivitis). This infection can quickly and easily spread from one child to another, as many parents of grade-school age children already know all too well. Keep your child home until the doctor says he is no longer contagious.
Stomachache. This one can be tough to call. If he doesn't have diarrhea and isn't constipated, tummy trouble could be caused by any number of things from anxiety to food poisoning. If the stomach pains seem minor and he has no other symptoms, send him to school. Later, you can talk to him about any emotional issues that may be on his mind.
Runny nose. Let's be realistic: If you kept your child home every time he had the sniffles, he'd miss a lot of school. Use your judgment. If he has a runny nose but seems otherwise fine, then it's probably okay for him to go to school.
The bottom line: Trust your instincts. If your child seems lethargic and just not himself (if he's not interested in playing, that is often a big clue), keep him home and monitor him for any signs of illness.

The Hundred: Equal prize money for men and women
By IANS On Mar 4, 2020 0
Photo: Wisden
London: There will be equal prize money on offer for both men's and women's The Hundred competitions when the inaugural tournament gets underway this summer. The prize fund of 600,000 pounds will be split equally between the competitions.
The Hundred is a 100-ball format that is set to launch in July with the men's and women's tournaments to run concurrently over a five-week period.
Beth Barrett-Wild, head of The Hundred women's competition said: "We're really proud of our movement towards making cricket a gender-balanced sport and whilst we're aware there is more to do in this space, this is an important step in the right direction."
"It's recognition for the women's players and the huge value they bring to The Hundred.
"The ECB is committed to transforming women's and girls' cricket, from inspiring young girls to pick up a bat for the first time, through to establishing the women's game as a professional career option. This announcement today represents one signal of intent towards that commitment."
England captain Heather Knight, who will lead London Spirit in The Hundred, said: "This is a great announcement for women's sport."
"Women's professional cricket is on an exciting journey and whilst, there is still a way to go to realise gender-parity, this move from The Hundred is a significant step in the right direction.
"We're all really excited about playing in the new competition and hopefully inspiring more young girls and boys to pick up a bat and ball."

Climate Conference- Warsaw(Ponland) Update
WARSAW, Nov 20 2013 (IPS) – The G77+China group of 133 developing countries negotiating a new international deal at COP19 in Warsaw to combat climate change walked out of the talks in the wee hours of Wednesday morning to protest developed countries' reluctance to commit to loss and damage.

Address Climate Change to end Poverty
Ending Poverty Includes Tackling Climate Change
World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim
Over the last 20 years, the World Bank Group has helped countries lift 663 million people out of poverty. In the next 20, we believe it is possible to end extreme poverty. This goal is within our grasp.
But poverty reduction and climate change are linked. We have powerful new evidence that even if climate change falls short of the much-discussed 4°C warmer world, we could witness the rolling back of decades of development gains and force tens of millions more to live in poverty.
If we don't confront climate change, we won't end poverty.

Children Are Being Caged to Stop the Browning of America
The stories are painful. The lives are real. America is running detention centers along its borders. And based on the atrocities happening inside, some are calling them concentration camps.
So far we've heard of separated families, detained parents and children. Children subjected to adverse conditions. Children forced to sleep on concrete floors. Children forced to sleep with the lights on in nothing more than aluminum wrappers. No soap or toothpaste provided for days. Children subjected to sexual abuse and God knows what else.
Some are afraid of calling these facilities at our borders "concentration camps" but as was written by the Salt Lake Tribune Editorial Board, "That is precisely what they are." And it's not like our government hasn't done this before. We still hear stories from survivors of the Japanese internment camps that were set up in "California, Washington, and Oregon" during WWII (History.com).
Part of the visceral reaction to migrant families and asylum-seekers is the fact that America is browning. As reported by the Brookings Institute, whites will become a majority minority by 2045, which is basically tomorrow.
"New census population projections confirm the importance of racial minorities as the primary demographic engine of the nation's future growth, countering an aging, slow-growing and soon to be declining white population. The new statistics project that the nation will become "minority white" in 2045. During that year, whites will comprise 49.7 percent of the population in contrast to 24.6 percent for Hispanics, 13.1 percent for blacks, 7.9 percent for Asians, and 3.8 percent for multiracial populations
Among the minority populations, the greatest growth is projected for multiracial populations, Asians and Hispanics with 2018–2060 growth rates of 176, 93, and 86 percent, respectively. The projected growth rate for blacks is 34 percent.* The demographic source of growth varies across groups. For example, immigration contributes to one-third of Hispanic growth over this time span, with the rest attributable to natural increase (the excess of births over deaths). Among Asians, immigration contributes to three quarters of the projected growth."
The US will become 'minority white' in 2045, Census projects (Brookings Institute, 2018)
Racist officials within our government are using scare tactics and harsh conditions to deter migrants from seeking asylum and to deter Black and Brown immigrants from coming to America. They hope to stop or slow the browning of our nation. Thus, anti-immigration extremists have been waiting for this moment for years.
Now, according to the Center for American Progress, the Trump Administration has given them free range to use our federal government to actualize their hateful agenda.
"The anti-immigrant movement has increasingly gained influence over the past decade, reaching a high point during the Trump administration. Top administrative positions in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have been filled by right-wing extremists, many with close ties to hate groups. As a result, anti-immigrant policies that used to be regarded as extreme have been normalized, and dehumanizing rhetoric toward immigrants has become rampant in mainstream media.
The new wave of anti-immigrant extremists leading DHS is responsible for overseeing the nation's entire immigration system, from adjudicating visa petitions and applications for citizenship and asylum to handling arrests and deportations. These extremists have also played a role in, or defended, policies that outrage many Americans, such as family separation, the increased use of ICE raids, and the disparagement of locations that have sanctuary policies."
The Anti-Immigrant Extremists in Charge of the U.S. Immigration System (Center for American Progress, 2019)
However, the browning of America is evident and detention centers/concentration camps won't stop it. Those children, sleeping on concrete floors, are part of America's promise and future. They should be protected, loved, cared for and kept with their families. Among those children, are future leaders and lawmakers that will remember this moment in America's history and make sure that it never happens again.
But first we must fight to protect them. Call your representatives at (202) 224-3121 or go to callmycongress.com. Tweet and email your representatives. Be vocal and spread the word that these detention camps are illegal, inhumane and unacceptable. If there are any local or national protests, try to participate. Support efforts to defund ICE. And if you have the ability, vote in every single election both local and national.
Most of all, don't ignore what is happening and don't let your anger pass with the next news cycle.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

A Message For Writers: Stop Waiting For Permission
There are so many different rivers to cross for writers. Writing is a field that presents rejection as a rite of passage. At every turn, writers are expected to present our work to gatekeepers for approval, acknowledgement, and accolades. The chase to be accepted is never ending and at times can be overwhelming. This, in turn, can halt progress. So much looming rejection, can lead us to forget why we're writing in the first place. Truth be told, most writers didn't first pick up a pen thinking about whether or not their structured thoughts would be accepted into a literary journal.
We started writing because we had a passion for something. We had a voice that needed to be released. We had a purpose that needed to be fulfilled. In the digital age, there is more flexibility than ever for writers to both hone their skills and move forward with their careers, without first needing the approval of gatekeepers. Some see this new found freedom negatively, desperately touting the need for restrictions. However few acknowledge that the current publishing industry is built on exclusionary, elitist practices that traditionally marginalize writers from under-privileged groups.
Are we to stop writing if our work is not welcomed with opened arms into prestigious literary circles?
If you have an idea for a book, get started. If you want to create your own syndicated column, podcast or video series there is nothing stoping you but you. Hone your craft, listen to your gut and move forward. There will always be time to submit to journals and send out proposals. Don't let this process halt your progression.
Stop waiting for permission to be yourself and fulfill your purpose.

Disappearing Words: Writing In The Digital Space
Zora Neale Hurston reading
There's something magical about writing and sharing the inner workings of your mind instantly. That's how it works in the digital space. We're constantly sharing, breathing new life into old words. Yet, at the same time there's a fleeting feeling.
Another case of police brutality…write a think piece.
Another person says something racist…write a think piece.
Another person does something sexist…write a think piece.
I've actually come to hate think pieces. I can't help but feel like a rat on a wheel. There's this constant spinning motion pushing you to stay writing, stay hitting that publish button in hopes of likes or some monetary gain. I've heard it referred to as "feeding the beast." The internet is never satisfied. What's popular today is gone tomorrow, almost as if it never existed. Old suddenly takes on new meaning. Content often focuses on who can break it faster and hinders most real possibilities of in-depth analysis or nuanced discussions.
Everyone must ride the wave. Or be deemed nonexistent.
I've often wondered how potent their words would have been if Langston Hughes or Zora Neale Hurston spent hours on Facebook and Twitter instead of penning poems and writing books. Perhaps they would have gained a "following."
Yet, would we value their work the same? Would their words have been added to the endless stream of brilliant yet easily discardable "latest posts?" Would we still value their time?
The problem with digital writing is there is nothing to hold on to. It's not the same feeling as having a physical book or magazine. It's digital, cloud based, and light like air. Thereby making digital writing feel temporary, like a fleeting gust of wind.
Though nothing ever really disappears on the internet, the quick natured environment of digital communication makes important dialogue get quickly discarded in exchange for the latest controversy.
Everyone feasts upon it, dining on every piece, tearing apart every strip. Then, on to the next one. Lack of substance becomes reality. Quick witted pseudo scholars, psychologists and self help gurus dominate droves of gullible minds simply because they've found the key to social media. They've learned to ride, even manipulate the waves.
Even with well meaning publications, writing becomes another day, another click bait. Always striving to be ahead of the page view curve makes substance secondary. Everyone is striving to be memorable without memory.
How do we deal with the issue of disappearing words? (The fleeting times, the missed moments, the badly deconstructed ideas, and the incessant desire to be noticed.)
There are no real answers to this question. Perhaps our only choice is to be inventive: push the limits, dig, write, erase, write again, breakdown, and build up in ways that haven't been done before. Maybe then, our words will serve more as a reference point than some random page, that once was skimmed and forgotten.
Nevertheless, we will do what writers do. We'll keep writing, hoping the digital swindlers leave enough room for us to make an impact before our words disappear.

Three of the terrorists were eliminated. According to defence spokesman in Srinagar, Colonel Rajesh Kalia, it all started around 1 am when a joint team of Army and BSF troops guarding the Machil 290 sector noticed suspicious movement, about 3.5 km from the Line of Control (LoC). On inspection, it was found that an infiltration attempt was underway The troops . confronted the infiltrators, leading to an encounter, which lasted until 4 am. A BSF jawan, identified as constable Sudip Sarkar, was killed. One terrorist was also killed while others managed to slip away after three hours of gunfight. JOE BIDEN More troops were then rushed to the area in the pre-dawn hours to search and track the other terrorists down. Drones, helicopters and other surveillance equipment were also deployed. Finally, more than six hours after the initial gunfight ended, the Army found the ter rorists. Around 10.20 am another gunfight erupted about 1.5 km from the LoC, during which two terrorists and three Army soldiers were killed, Kalia said. 214 DONALD TRUMP Electoral college votes Electoral college votes 75,199,800 popular vote 70,804,676 popular vote 270 TO WIN Expect green card, H1-B visa squeeze to ease P u s h k a r B a n a k a r @ New Delhi With Joe Biden set to enter the Oval Office in January the protes, tations of President Donald Trump notwithstanding, lakhs of Indians who head to the United States every year for studies, employment and immigration could heave a sigh of relief. In the four years of the Trump administration, it has not been smooth sailing for Indians for whom the US is a land of opportunities and a stepping stone for economic prosperity From green card . holders, students and H1-B visas, the numbers have been steadily going down. Take the lawful residence permits, or green cards. The road to the US has been bumpy since Trump took tenancy of the White House, resulting in a decline of Indians acquiring the coveted residency permit. n 2010 when Barack Obama was President, more than 69,000 Indians got the green card (see table). The Up and down Year Indians who got green card % increase/ decrease 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 69,162 69,013 66,434 68,458 77,908 64,116 64,687 60,394 59,821 54,495 ---0.2 -3.7 3.04 13.8 -17.7 0.89 -6.6 -0.9 -8.9 Source: Department of Homeland Security number peaked in 2014, when nearly 78,000 Indians managed to get it. But in the years since, and particularly after Trump became President, it has slowly gone down. Last year only about 54,000 Indians got the green card, registering a sharp drop of 8.9% from the previ- ous year. "Biden is likely to be more open to easing restrictions on visas and immigration. It is worth noting that he is the only presidential candidate to release an agenda proposal aimed at Indian-Americans, which among other things, lays out his plan for visas and immigration," said Kriti Upadhyaya, a researcher at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. She felt that Biden would be more supportive of family-based immigration. "His more progressive visa plans include exempting recent graduates of PhD programmes in STEM fields from any caps," Upadhyaya said. H1-B visas, the most sought after by Indians, is another area where Trump has cracked down and proposed curbs. Though a US court stayed the move, Trump's decision to halt all nonimmigrant visas, including H1-B, caused tension among Indians, especially the IT sector.

Interview 'Worth printing notes for stimulus' K S h i v a K u m a r @ Mysuru With Democrat Joe Biden winning the US Presidency, former US Surgeon General Dr Vivek Murthy, who traces his roots to Hallegere in Karnataka's Mandya district, is expected to take over as the head of the Covid-19 task force of the United States. President-elect Biden is likely to make an official announcement on Monday . Murthy is a former Vice Admiral in the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, who served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States under for mer President Barack Obama. With the Covid-19 pandemic raging in the US, Dr Vivek will have a tough job on hand. Speaking to TNIE, his father Dr H N Narasimha Murthy confirmed that Dr Vivek will be named the head of the Covid Task Force on Monday "We deeply appre. ciated all the prayers for Vivek's success and his family when he was appointed as Surgeon General by then President Obama," he said. Dr Vivek has strongly criticised President Donald Trump's handling of the Covid-19 situation. Delaying the enforcement of a strict lockdown would have helped lessen the economic impact of the pandemic, feels Economics Nobel Abhijit Banerjee.
