Q: send is not sensing socket pending errors My TCP client implements a keepalive function with tcp_keepalive_interval = 10s, tcp_keepalive_time = 1s and tcp_keepalive_probes = 10.
But the send function is not picking any error after connection has been broken for more than 20s. Ideally with keepalive enabled, after 20s (keepalive_interval + keepalive_probes*keepalive_time) E_TIMEDOUT should be added to socket pending errors.

As this answer says,
"Both read(2) and write(2) first retrieve any pending error on the
  socket before even attempting to handle any data."

The send should pick E_TIMEDOUT or any socket error when connection is closed by keepalive but it is not happening in below code.
    int sockfd = -1;
    if ((sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP)) == -1) {
        cerr<<"ERROR: Failed to obtain Socket Descriptor!"<<endl;
        return -1;
    }

    //setting keepalive
    int optval;
    socklen_t optlen = sizeof(optval);

    //setting keepalive
    optval = 1;
    optlen = sizeof(optval);
    if(setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, &optval, optlen) < 0) {
        cerr<<"set keepalive failed"<<endl;
        return -1;
    }
    //setting tcp_keepalive_intvl
    optval = 10;
    optlen = sizeof(optval);
    if(setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_TCP, TCP_KEEPINTVL, &optval, optlen) < 0) {
        cerr<<"set tcp_keepalive_interval failed"<<endl;
        return -1;
    }
    //setting tcp_keepalive_time
    optval = 1;
    optlen = sizeof(optval);
    if(setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_TCP, TCP_KEEPIDLE, &optval, optlen) < 0) {
        cerr<<"set tcp_keepalive_time failed"<<endl;
        return -1;
    }
    //setting tcp_keepalive_probes
    optval = 10;
    optlen = sizeof(optval);
    if(setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_TCP, TCP_KEEPCNT, &optval, optlen) < 0) {
        cerr<<"set tcp_keepalive_probe failed"<<endl;
        return -1;
    }

    struct sockaddr_in remote_addr;
    remote_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    remote_addr.sin_port = htons(#port_no);
    remote_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(#ip_addr);
    memset(&remote_addr.sin_zero, 0, 8);
    if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&remote_addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr)) == -1) {
        cerr<<"Connect failed with ERRORNO "<<errno<<endl;
        return -1;
    } else {
        cout<<"TcpClient.cpp connected to server"<<endl;
    }
    while(1) {
        char data[20] = "hi hello";
        int ret = -1;
        if((ret = send(sockfd, data, 20, 0)) < 0) {
            cerr<<"TcpClient.cpp:- failed to send_data, ERROR CODE: "<<errno<<endl;
            return -1;
        } else if (ret == 0) {
            cout<<"send returns 0"<<endl;
        } else {
            cout<<"data sent"<<endl;
        }
        sleep(1);
    }
    getchar();
    return 0;

I tested this code on a linux machine with gcc compiler.
Note: I tried the same code with recv and it picked E_TIMEDOUT error neatly.

A: You haven't waited long enough. From http://tldp.org/HOWTO/TCP-Keepalive-HOWTO/usingkeepalive.html:
tcp_keepalive_time

    the interval between the last data packet sent (simple ACKs are not considered data) and the first keepalive probe; after the connection is marked to need keepalive, this counter is not used any further

tcp_keepalive_intvl

    the interval between subsequential keepalive probes, regardless of what the connection has exchanged in the meantime

tcp_keepalive_probes

    the number of unacknowledged probes to send before considering the connection dead and notifying the application layer

So with your values of (10, 10, 10), the keepalives will not start until 10 seconds after the last data was received from the peer. Then 10 probes, each separated by 10 seconds will need to be unacknowledged before the connection is declared dead.

Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) director general Yury Ganus has claimed an agreement signed with the Russian Bobsleigh Federation (RBF) will help re-establish the credibility of the governing body within international sport.
Ganus penned the cooperation deal with interim RBF President Elena Anikina at a signing ceremony in Moscow today.
He said the agreement would bring the RBF's anti-doping work "back to normality" after bobsleigh was found to have been one of the sports at the heart of the Russian doping scandal which corrupted the 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi.
Bobsledders Alexander Zubkov, Alexander Kasjanov, Aleksei Pushkarev, Ilvir Khuzin and Alexei Voevoda have all been banned for their role in the doping scheme in operation at the Games in the Russian city.
Zubkov, stripped of the Olympic gold medals he won in the two and four-man events at Sochi 2014, temporarily stood down as RBF President after he was suspended for two years by the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation.
"This is a well-timed agreement for the RBF, it will allow to bring the federation's anti-doping work back to normalcy, and - with earnest and effective activities management - to ensure that credibility of the federation as well as of all the Russian sports in general is re-established in the international sports community," Ganus said.
"Our task is to exercise anti-doping leadership in combating doping in Russia, and all clean athletes and specialists, our federations and all persons concerned are very welcome to join in and be part of that work."
Anikina, who assumed interim charge of the RBF following Zubkov's decision to step aside, welcomed the agreement with RUSADA, which she claimed is "one of the best anti-doping agencies in the world".
"Anti-doping work is a priority for our federation, and RUSADA, being one of the best anti-doping agencies in the world, will help us once again properly highlight key areas of our work and help athletes with fairness and dignity win medals and promote our sport all over the world," she said.
According to the RBF, the deal with RUSADA will include areas such as education and investigation.
It will also see RUSADA carry out targeted testing of the bobsledders and skeleton athletes "in line with the regulations and without prior notice".
"Considerable attention in the agreement is given to activities with the RBF athletes, both with regard to informing persons responsible of alleged anti-doping violations, and with regard to advocacy of clean sport," the RBF added.

That, if the legislature of New Hampshire, for mere speculative purposes, were to express an opinion on the acts of the general government, commonly called "the Alien and Sedition Bills," that opinion would unreservedly be, that those acts are constitutional, and, in the present critical situation of our country, highly expedient.
That the constitutionality and expediency of the acts aforesaid have been very ably advocated and clearly demonstrated by many citizens of the United States, more especially by the minority of the General Assembly of Virginia. The legislature of New Hampshire, therefore, deem it unnecessary, by any train of arguments, to attempt further illustration of the propositions, the truth of which, it is confidently believed, at this day, is very generally seen and acknowledged.

Q: Wrong contentSize for UITableView after display modal One of my tableview turn me crazy.
I have a scrollview with 3 tableviews inside.
But for a weird reason, my controller is unable to calculate the contentSize.height of one of those tableViews.
I've put 3 breakpoints to log it's contentSize.height.

*

*In viewDidLoad, contentSize.height = 0px (normal isn't it?)

*In viewDidAppear:, contentSize height = 26px . At this moment, I have no data to display, I'm retrieving some in background, and tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: return 0 for this tableview (and there is only 1 section for each tableView)

*After receiving my data and performed an reloadData on my tableView, contentSize height = 986 (header 26px + 24 rows * 40px)
Until here, everything looks normal.
Now, from my view controller, I'm displaying another view controller with : presentViewController:animated:completion:
When I come back to my initial view controller, I have kept my previous data. tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: returns me the 24 rows, but the contentSize.height of the tableview is 26px. My table just bounce when I try to scroll it, but my data is displayed in the table.
This problem only appear with iOS 6, not with iOS 7.
Any idea to fix this?

Administrative law judge upholds OSHA citation issued to Peoria, Ill.-based Caterpillar Logistics Services

Administrative law judge upholds OSHA citation
issued to Peoria, Ill.-based Caterpillar Logistics Services
Affirms musculoskeletal disorder should be recorded on OSHA 300 Injury and Illness Log
PEORIA, Ill. – An administrative law judge with the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission in Denver, Colo., has affirmed an other-than-serious safety citation issued to Peoria-based Caterpillar Logistics Services by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration in June 2009. The company was cited for failing to record a worker's musculoskeletal disorder on the company's OSHA 300 log and assessed a proposed penalty of $900.
"Musculoskeletal disorders are very prevalent and are significant workplace injuries and illnesses," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Dr. David Michaels, who praised the decision. "It is imperative that these types of work-related illnesses are logged appropriately so workers and managers are made aware of them as well as their causes, and so that we can all learn how to better protect workers. By working together, OSHA, along with business leaders, union representatives and workers, can improve conditions and processes to prevent injuries and illnesses for all our nation's workers."
The citation was issued after an OSHA investigation determined that the company had failed to record a work-related musculoskeletal illness, epicondylitis, on the company's OSHA 300 log. Caterpillar contended that the employee's epicondylitis was not work-related.
Administrative Law Judge Patrick Augustine noted that, in order to be recordable, "an employee's work activities do not have to be the cause, but rather a cause of injury or illness," and determined that the preponderance of evidence showed the employee's work activities were at least a contributing, if not the sole, cause of the employee's epicondylitis.
OSHRC is an independent federal agency created to decide contests of citations and/or penalties resulting from inspections of American workplaces by OSHA. An employer that is cited by OSHA for an alleged workplace health or safety violation can contest a citation and have the case heard by a commission administrative law judge, who ultimately issues a decision. The decision can then be appealed to the commission, whose members are presidential appointees. This decision is the first to address whether a musculoskeletal disorder is work-related under an OSHA record-keeping standard revised in 2001.
Employers and employees with questions regarding workplace safety and health standards can call OSHA's Peoria Area Office at 309-589-7033. To report workplace incidents, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, call the agency's toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742).

The Pro-Chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Dr. Wale Babalakin (SAN), has canvassed N2 trillion annual funding for the education sector, saying it will help to produce globally competitive graduates.
The lawyer made the demand yesterday while delivering the 20th anniversary lecture of the Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, titled "Technical Education and the Industry: Bridging the Gap for National Development."
According to Babalakin, the current complain about unemployment in the country would become history if the quality of education improves and meets international standards.
To him, the solution to many of Nigeria's problems is quality education, which the government alone cannot fund. Babalakin also called for the establishment of an Education Bank that would give loans to indigent students, saying such loans would cover tuition fees and provide for the students' upkeep, adding that a condusive environment needs to be provided for students to bring out the best in them.
He said the loans should be repaid at no more than 5 percent interest rate and should be payable within 6 years when the student starts working, with no more than 10 percent of his or her salary going to loan repayment. According to him, the sums paid as school fees should also be channeled towards improving tertiary institutions.
The lawyer called for the transfer of technology from expatriates to Nigerians in order to build the capacity of the country's human capital. "If today, the biggest construction company in Nigeria is Julius Berger, it is an indictment on every Nigerian who has any affiliation with technology."
He advocated for a proper reward system, noting that except in the case of minimum wage, workers should be rewarded based on their performance as against blanket payment for everyone.The Rector, Yaba College of Technology, Obafemi Omokungbe, said the college had a centre for entrepreneurship that trains students to be self-employed and employers of labour.The lecture was chaired by the former Chairman of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Sir Remi Omotosho.


The Legends Sports Bar and Grill is undergoing renovations, management says it should be opened in the spring.
"On one hand, it was a bowling center for families," White said. "Then on the other, it was a place to go hang out late at night."
"Last year was very hard in many ways," White said. "We've been working here for a couple of years and it was a hard year."
"I am looking forward to moving from that and establish this as a family entertainment facility," White said.
"It's come a long way," Kaleigh Schwichtenberg, a staff member at Belt Entertainment. "I'm really happy it's something that St. Joe's needed."
"I'm just excited to be able to be here and do this for the community," White said.

The Elena Diaz-Verson Amos Center for Breast Health at St. Francis is the premier facility in our region dedicated to improving women's health.
Not only was St. Francis first in the region, but first in the state of Georgia to offer diagnostic Automated Whole-Breast Ultrasound (AWBUS) and Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI). We were among the first to provide 3-D mammography (tomosynthesis) and a dedicated Breast MRI.
BSGI is a very sensitive test with fewer false alarms than MRI, and while it's not a replacement for MRI, it is another excellent diagnostic tool. BSGI is less expensive than MRI, more comfortable for most patients, and covered by most insurance including Medicare.
BSGI works by using a small amount of a radiotracer agent that is absorbed by the body's cells. Screening with BSGI takes about 45-60 minutes, and unlike a mammogram, there is no compression of the breast.
St. Francis also offers 3-D mammography (also known as breast tomosynthesis). For this, the breast is compressed once and a machine takes many low-dose x-rays as it moves over the breast. A computer then puts the images together into a 3-dimensional picture. While this screening uses more radiation than most standard 2-view mammograms, it also allow doctors to see the breast tissues more clearly. Some studies have suggested it might lower the chance of being called back for follow-up testing. It may also be able to find more cancers.
In fact, a study recenty published in JAMA Oncology has confirmed that 3-D mammography does find breast cancers earlier. The study looked at three years of data on breast cancer screening with 3-D mammograms.
The study was published online on Feb. 18, 2016 by JAMA Oncology. You can read the abstract here: "Effectiveness of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Compared With Digital Mammography: Outcomes Analysis From 3 Years of Breast Cancer Screening." For more information on breast cancer screenings, visit the American Cancer Society's website.
St. Francis was the first hospital in the state of Georgia to provide Automated Whole-Breast Ultrasound (AWBUS).
A blinded study of this system combined with screening mammography showed that adding AWBUS both doubles overall cancer detection and triples the 1 cm-or-less invasive cancers found in dense-breasted women. Another study showed that adding AWBUS to mammography improved callback rates, accuracy of breast cancer detection, and confidence in callbacks for dense-breasted women.
Providing access to outstanding technology is only part of our commitment. Because we understand the importance of staying healthy for both yourself and your family, we make it a priority to convey information clearly and accurately through a variety of services and wellness programs.
We're solely focused on you and your breast health.
We want you to expect exceptional and professional care here. As a center that focuses exclusively on breast imaging and diagnostics, our radiologists have among them more than 50 years of experience, along with advanced training in BSGI and dedicated breast MRI.
Our technologists are also specially trained in breast imaging and provide our physicians with outstanding support.
A breast exam or procedure can be an anxious time and we make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. You'll find private dressing rooms, a calming environment, and a staff both sensitive to your needs and respectful of your time.
Our physicians and staff are here to answers any questions you may have about mammography, ultrasound, biopsy, and general breast health.
Park at the Butler Pavilion entrance and relax in a pleasant atmosphere as we perform your scheduled test or procedure. Additionally when you visit our facility, while you wait for your exam, please enjoy the beautiful artwork located throughout the facility.


Despite current vehicle safety features, such as seatbelts and airbags, passengers often suffer spinal injuries in rear-end collisions. The purpose of this experiment was to test a new, different method of safety against the current features with hopes to decrease the acceleration experienced by passengers, and thus decrease the number of spinal injuries in rear-end collisions. Through small-scale crashes, vehicles were accelerated from behind to simulate rear-end collisions. A low-g accelerometer was attached to a small wooden block emulating a vehicle seatback and the block was inserted into a cart. Rubber bands of three different lengths were attached to the wooden block to provide different amounts of resistance; this altered the seatbacks extent of movement during the collisions. The cart was placed against a spring latch that was released to accelerate the cart. The maximum acceleration was recorded for each trial, and the measurements were averaged for each seatback design. Three two-sample t-tests were carried out to compare the mean maximum acceleration for each of the movable seatback designs to the mean maximum acceleration for the immobile seatback design. Analysis proved that there was a significant difference between the means of all three of the movable backrest designs and that of the non-movable one; each of the movable designs significantly decreased the acceleration of the seat. Such results imply that if seats with movable backrests were implemented into vehicles, the number of spinal injuries in rear-end collisions would significantly decrease.

Ian Bostridge has enjoyed a long and distinguished relationship with the Wigmore Hall, appearing there each season for the past seventeen years, and it has been a relationship at the core of his international recital career. It was therefore a particular honour to be invited by John Gilhooly to present his own residency over the 2011/2012 season, six programmes over seven concerts under the banner of Ancient and Modern, the series running from September 2011 and concluding last Saturday as the final event of the Wigmore season. Highlights from the series will be released on the Wigmore Hall Live label next year.
The range of programming allowed Ian the opportunity to explore the juxtapositons of old and new, from Scarlatti and Handel in the opening concert to Cage, Britten and Henze in the closing recital, from Dowland's Lute Songs to Peter Warlock's re-workings of Elizabethan Song, from interpretations of the ancients by Handel, Britten and Satie to a shared programme of Monteverdi and Stravinsky.
It also provided Ian with the opportunity to be joined by many of his closest colleagues and friends – Angelika Kirchschlager, Harry Bicket, Julius Drake, Graham Johnson, Elizabeth Kenny, Xufei Yang, Lawrence Cummings, Nicholas Collon, Sophie Daneman, Madeleine Shaw, Neal Davies, Nicholas Daniel, Adam Walker, the English Concert, the Aurora Orchestra, the Heath Quartet.
Having in recent years enjoyed artistic residencies at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, New York's Carnegie Hall, the Luxembourg Philharmonie, London's Barbican, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg and with the Hamburg Laeiszhalle to come in 2013, it was an especial joy to be able to present such a rich and varied series of programmes in his "home" Hall under the patronage of John Gilhooly and his team.


Not less than three mosques in California got threatened by Donald Trump's supporters today. Handwritten letters addressed to "The Children of Satan" signed by "Americans for a Better Way" were delivered to the mosques.
'Your day of reckoning has arrived. There's a new sheriff in town, President Donald Trump. He's going to cleanse America and make it shine again. And, he's going to start with you Muslims. Mr Trump is going to do to you Muslims what Hitler did to the jews '.
The letter also addressed the Muslims as the vile and filthy people.
The Council of Americans-Islamic Relations, CAIR is therefore calling for greater police protection of mosques.
D.M: Vile means morally low.

The demand for a unique event concept that arouses interest during the Berlin fashion week where the competition is high.
We came up with the idea to create a pop-up fashion market place with different lifestyle booths that reflect the Grazia universe in 3D. Each year Grazia invites creatives from the beauty, fashion, food, travel and art culture to showcase their work in an interactive way. Limited edition pieces derived from the cooperations form the highlights of the exclusive goodie bags (e.g. Nike Sportswear and the Paris based artist Katrin Fridriks reinvent sneakers by transforming them into customized magazine holders turning them into genuine and must-have pieces of art or the highly popular limited edition silk scarf designed by artist André Saraiva).
A fascinating event where Grazia intensifies their relationships and enlarges their network of potential advertising clients.

Andaman & Nicobar Islands is a group of over 572 Islands, islets and rocks (37 of which are inhabited) in the Bay of Bengal, South-East of the Indian mainland. The Andaman & Nicobar Islands is nearer to Myanmar, Indonesia and Thailand than to the Indian mainland. Andaman & Nicobar Islands stretches over a length of more than 800 kms from North to South. Some of the large Islands are Middle Andaman, North Andaman, South Andaman, Baratang and Little Andaman islands. The northern most point is Landfall Island and the southern most, Indira Point.
The Nicobar group of Islands is out of bounds for Tourism activities. i.e., only the Andaman group of Islands are open for Tourism. This is because the majority of people living in Nicobar Islands are Tribal's.
The capital of Andaman & Nicobar Islands is Port Blair. Most of the islands are in the Andamans group, 26 of which are inhabited. The Nicobars comprise some 22 main islands, 10 of which are inhabited. The Andamans and Nicobars are separated by the Ten Degree Channel, some 150 km wide. The territory's population as per the year 2001 Census of India is 356,152. The total land area of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands is approximately 8,249 Square kms. The total area of the Andaman Islands is some 6,408 km² & that of the Nicobar Islands approximately 1,841 Square kms.
The major languages spoken in Andaman & Nicobar Islands are Bengali, Hindi, Malayalam, English, Tamil, Nicobarese and Telugu. Since pre-historic times aboriginal tribes have lived on these Islands. The Andaman group is inhabited by tribes of Negrito origin, while the Nicobar Islands are inhabited by tribes of Mongloid origin. There are 4 tribes in the Andaman District and they are Great Andamanese, Onges, Jarawas and Sentinelese, while 2 other tribes, Nicobarese & Shompens of Mongloid origin live in Nicobar district.
The topography of the Andaman islands is hilly and they abound in evergreen forests. Timber is plentiful and of a vast variety. These undulating islands are covered with dense forests and endless variety of exotic flora and fauna. However, the Timber of Andaman & Nicobar Islands cannot be commercially extracted due to the order & ruling of the Supreme Court of India.
The reserved and protected forests extend over 86% area of the territory and the forest cover is more than 92%. About 50% of the forests has been set aside as Tribal Reserves, National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries. Mythologically, the name Andaman is presumed to be derived from Hanuman, who was known to the Malays as Handuman. Since pre-historic times, these islands were the home of aboriginal tribes.
The first settlement by the British took place in 1789, which was later abandoned in 1796. The second settlement was basically a penal settlement, established in 1858, after the First War of Indian Independence, followed by the settlement of convicts, Moplas, some criminal tribes from Central and United Provinces, refugees from erstwhile East Pakistan, Burma and Sri Lanka as well as ex-servicemen. People of all faiths like Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhist etc., live together in complete peace and harmony. Inter-religion and inter-regional marriages are common. This amazing racial and cultural mix is correctly described as Mini-India.
The sandy beaches of Andaman & Nicobar Islands are fringed with coconut-palms. The sea around the islands offer excellent scope for water sports. Adventure tourism like trekking, Camping, snorkelling, scuba diving etc., are the real attractions. A visit to the Andaman & Nicobar Islands is a memorable lifetime experience. The Indian government is trying to develop the Andaman Islands into a low volume, high yield tourist zone. To promote eco-friendly tourism, the Andaman and Nicobar Administration is developing 36 beach sites on the islands. India's first ever marina is to be developed in A&N islands.
The Government is starting unique projects like introduction of seaplane service for the first time in India. The administration will set up canopy walkways, luxury cottages, and procure luxury boats to attract high-end tourists. Plans are afoot to start more sound and light shows and setting up de-compressions chambers for scuba drivers in the islands in the near future.Annual tourist arrivals at the Andaman & Nicobar Islands increased to 130,000 in 2009 as compared to 33,716 tourist arrivals recorded in 1990.

Download here the pdf version of this Statement.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to contribute to this conference and to share some thoughts on behalf of the Global Coalition for Social Protection Floors.
The Global Coalition is a network of over 100 civil society organizations, trade unions and think tanks from all continents – all committed to advocate for and support the development and implementation of universal social protection.
The Global Coalition for Social Protection Floors (GCSPF) highly welcomes the global call to action: "TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL SOCIAL PROTECTION BY 2030".
More than half of the world's population is still denied a life in dignity and the human right to social protection. To deliver on the commitment to universal social protection is a legal, moral, political and economic imperative. Social protection is a key instrument for the successful implementation of Agenda 2030, for eradicating poverty and for reducing inequality. Social protection is a human right, not charity for the poorest.
What we want to take from this conference is the commitment to take concrete steps towards the implementation of universal social protection systems which are rights-based and gender-responsive, providing adequate benefits for all contingencies over the lifecycle.
We highly welcome the focus on a universal approach designed to overcome exclusion, targeting and fragmentation of programs. We want social protection policies that leave no one behind and contribute to solidarity and cohesive societies.
We very much value the commitment of different stakeholders to this joint initiative, marking their collective willingness to deliver universal social protection. We wish to see this initiative flourish with the broad participation of all countries around the world.
It will come as no surprise that we offer and also ask for the effective participation of civil society and trade unions in dialogues on social protection, at national, regional and global level. There are a few good reasons for this specific demand, since civil society and trade unions play an important transformative role in realizing the right to social protection.
CSO's and trade unions support the organization of women and men and their communities, often being able to successfully include disadvantaged groups. This enables these organisations to understand their perspectives and needs.
Civil Society organisations develop concrete and specific social protection services, demonstrating that it is possible to reach otherwise excluded groups. These experiences can serve as pilots or good practice and should be taken into account and become part of comprehensive public social protection systems.
Civil Society organizations and trade unions also raise awareness and empower people to demand the extension and transformation of social protection systems.
Finally, involving civil society and trade unions structurally and effectively in the effort of realizing universal social protection is a matter of democratic and inclusive governance, generating broad-based support and strengthening the social contract.
We heard today here in the discussion, and we also know from the work of our members in many countries, that capacity building and access to knowledge exchange are a felt need on all levels. Therefore we would like to see joint learning at the core of the initiative.
But we would also like to insist on sustainable financing. Social protection is affordable, everywhere. Not in some distant better future. It is affordable now.
Today we heard inspiring country examples showing innovative ways to extend fiscal space for social protection. Fiscal space has to be created in national budgets.
However, when we talk about "Together to Achieve Universal Social Protection by 2030", we also have to talk about the international responsibility to support countries to create and protect the fiscal space.
We need international cooperation to reduce tax evasion, and to avoid excessive tax competition.
We also need to protect the budget for social protection in times of crises and disasters – which would include adequately provisioning social protection spending during austerity periods. Further work needs to be done to develop a global solidarity mechanism that can provide that kind of support.
Just 0.23% of global GDP would suffice to provide social protection floors for the entire world's population. The fact that global society cannot muster the solidarity to finance that level of national and international redistribution is a violation of human rights. We need to act now. There are only 11 years to 2030. We have much work to do.
To summarise what we have heard here today, we can say there is so much experience and expertise and so many good ideas how to work on this together. There is an important momentum for joint global action to reach Universal Social Protection by 2030. We should not let it go, nobody should stay behind.


Rocky Mountain National Park is a place I like to tell myself I know a lot about, but really I probably only know a lot about very little. Other than Wild Basin, most of the Park is still uncharted territory for me. It probably always will be given the expanse. Colorado affords us so many bad @ss opportunities that I've found it hard to focus on one area, and in doing so, I seem to always keep the door open to all the potential that this state has to offer. However, I think I can still have a favorite or 2 or 3 or 4 and on this trip, my first trip into the Park this summer, I remembered why Rocky Mountain National Park is still tops.
Classic Rocky Mountain National Park.
Brian knows the Park better than most humans, including Rainman, and put the idea of this traverse in my head back in May on our Nokhu Hut trip. On that outing the skiers hit up Mahler and those of us who like to torture ourselves on snowshoes took on Richthofen. From the ridge on Richthofen I got my first glimpse south into all things Never Summer. From then on it was only a matter of when. The answer to that question finally came on Labor Day.
With a 1 AM departure from Denver, Brian and I arrived at the Colorado River TH a little after 3. The plan: Put on our headlamps. Hike .5 miles north to the Red Mountain Trail. Make a left and hike 3.5 miles along the largest switchback ever created to the Grand Ditch. Follow the Grand Ditch 1.7 miles north to Hitchens Gulch. Cross the Grand Ditch on a bridge (c'mon it's a National Park) and follow the Lake of Clouds Trail to treeline. Take off the headlamps.
Elevation Gain: ~ 7,000 ft.
Low hanging clouds to the south as we begin our ascent up the scree to the saddle between Lead and "Never Summer".
The ridge from the saddle to the summit of Lead is about .3 miles of solid Class 2+ and 3 scrambling. I would argue that near the summit it gets to Class 4 if you want it to. At one point I had to say "Miller, if we don't stop talking I'm going to fall off into the abyss". That is my non-textbook definition of Class 4.
Brian working his way up Lead. I asked him how this compared to Kelso Ridge having never been on it myself. He laughed and said this is Kelso Ridge on roids.
Brian nearing the summit of Lead.
From the summit of Lead the rest is a "stroll" along the Continental Divide. The 1.1 mile traverse from Lead to Cirrus takes you over unranked "Hart Ridge". Don't be fooled. This is not Cirrus :). I think it's here that we realized this wasn't going to be a traverse in the normal sense of the word. Instead, we were legitimately climbing 5 ranked peaks. I tend to overestimate vertical gain, but if the math adds up, we averaged more than 900 ft+ between peaks.
The Lead/Cirrus traverse along "Hart Ridge" as seen from the summit of Lead Mountain. Mount Cirrus can be seen in the distance.
Brian having some fun on the ridge.
Some of the terrain along "Hart Ridge" with Mount Cirrus still pretty far out there in the distance.
Summit of Mount Cirrus – September 1, 2014. A look back at our progress: "Hart Ridge" and Lead Mountain (Front to Back). Mahler and Richtofen (L to R) in the way back.
Summit of Mount Cirrus – September 1, 2014. Taking it all in.
Howard Mountain, the second tallest mountain in the Never Summer Mountains @ 12,810′ is up next. The traverse from Cirrus to Howard is a little more than one half mile. It was a nice reprieve from what we'd had up to this point and gave us a good vantage into the remainder of the route.
Brian making his way along the grassy saddle between Cirrus and Howard. Cumulus and Nimbus can be seen in the center of the photo (L to R).
The remaining route over to Howard.
Mount Cumulus from the summit of Mount Howard. The summit of Mount Nimbus can be seen just barely above the summit of Cumulus in the distance.
The view of Longs from Snowdrift Peak is pretty spectacular. I give this vantage point from Howard a close 2nd.
From the summit of Howard it's a 1.5 mile Class 3 scramble to the giant scree pile that is Mount Cumulus. The rock is loose and we did our best to stay high on the ridge to avoid pummeling each other with boulders. It took some time and our legs were beginning to feel the enormity of the day. Miller fortunately had a Red Bull. I did not.
Mount Nimbus as seen from the summit of Mount Cumulus – September 1, 2014.
Now just one peak stood in between us and our long descent to the jeep where a few well earned Firestone Union Jacks were patiently waiting for us. Mount Nimbus, about a mile from the summit of Cumulus and 650 feet vert from the saddle was in our sights and the weather was perfect. We made quick work of it.
Summit of Mount Cumulus – September 1, 2014.
Summit of Mount Nimbus – September 15, 2014.
Summit number 5 felt pretty damn good. It was well earned and the weather was about as perfect as you would need it to be to accomplish a day like this in the summer. We sat there for a while and took it all in, reminiscing on a few past Park trips. In the end we once again came to the obvious conclusion that there really are no bad days in the Park.
We rounded this lake on the way back to the Ditch. This spot reminded me a lot of the area around Lion Lakes in Wild Basin.
Back at the Ditch! This body of water I'm walking next to is known as the Grand Ditch and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Look it up if you have some spare time. It's quite a human marvel.
Hope you enjoyed the write-up. Thanks for reading!

Seattle Office of Economic Development invests $288,000 in Seattle Youth Career Opportunities
October 9, 2020 by Jacqueline Wu
Seattle youth gaining maritime and ocean sciences experience with Northwest Maritime Center. Photo courtesy of Northwest Maritime Center.
Seattle Office of Economic Development (OED) is awarding 10 organizations the 2020 Career Connected Learning grant. Career Connected Learning grants focus on ensuring local youth ages 14-24 have the skills, knowledge, and networks to connect to the region's economy. Our Career Connected Learning programs are operating within the context of two economic forces that are exacerbating existing racial and economic disparities and further exposing the vulnerabilities of many of Seattle's workers and businesses: COVID-19 and the rise of automation.
This highly competitive grant was awarded to proposals that strongly linked career awareness, experiences and activities for youth with future careers. Awardees demonstrated their ability to support Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) youth who otherwise would not have the opportunities or networks to build connections to the labor markets, demonstrated their ability to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 in their communities, demonstrated their ability to build the capacity and infrastructure within their organizations to provide career connected learning experiences for youth ages 14-24 that create deeper connections to the workforce, and support youth to build social capital.
"At OED, we want Seattle youth to be able to see themselves working and thriving in our local economy. This includes young people learning about our key sectors, understanding and building the skills that are needed, and making connections to supportive networks and businesses." said Nancy Yamamoto, OED Director of Workforce Development. "It is critically important to support these career connected learning opportunities because the pandemic severely impacted young people, including lost internships and job opportunities where they gain their first work experiences."
By investing in learning opportunities for youth of color, the Career Connected Learning Grants aim to mitigate against the harms caused by historic and ongoing systematic racism that disproportionately affects communities of color. Awarded projects are aligned to build talent pipelines to OED's key industries; Information Technology (IT), Creative, Maritime and Clean Technology. These industries provide pathways to middle wage jobs and career advancement.

Northwest Maritime Center (NWMC) is one of the ten 2020 Career Connected Learning Grant awardees. They are building bridges between the Duwamish Valley region and the maritime industry. The Career Connected Learning grant will allow them to develop community engagement and education experiences for the families and youth of the Duwamish Valley region. These experiences are designed to inspire interest, scaffold learning an connect the community to the maritime sector, ideally leading to living-wage jobs and careers in the maritime industry for Duwamish Valley youth.
"Youth of color and those with marginalized genders/identities have historically been denied access to maritime education and on the water experiences. But all youth deserve to engage equally with what we at the Northwest Maritime Center call the most powerful teacher we know – the sea. I couldn't be more excited to collaborate with the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition, Highline Public Schools and the Port of Seattle in launching a Maritime & Ocean Sciences High School in the Duwamish Valley – a community that intimately understands the value and significance of that watershed and our waterways " said Stephanie Burns, Project Manager at the Northwest Maritime Center.
Burns goes on to say, "The first people of this region were the Duwamish Tribe, who continue to fight for federal recognition and against the compounded legacies of environmental, economic, and social injustice. NWMC is honored to be part of this work in addressing institutionalized oppression, dismantling systemic inequities and removing barriers to maritime education so that youth of color who are furthest from opportunity have the same access to resources as their peers in order to thrive – academically, financially, and beyond."
The Career Connected Learning Grant program is a part of OED's Workforce Development strategy that focuses on growing the skills of our current and future workforce to be part of region's world-class talent pool. OED works to build career pathways to economic mobility by closing skills gaps in targeted growth industries. With our education and employer partners, we are aligning education and training programs with industry needs to help individuals develop the skills they need to get in-demand jobs and advance in their careers, while helping employers access the skilled workers they need to compete.

Seattle Office of Economic Development announces new program to prepare local youth for jobs of the future
May 6, 2019 by OED
Today, the City of Seattle Office of Economic Development (OED) announced a new investment aimed at providing young people access to and preparation for employment in Seattle's economy. The first ever Career Connected Learning Grants will fund nine local organizations to increase job readiness competencies for youth ages 14-24, part of Mayor Jenny A. Durkan's efforts to connect Seattle's youth with living wage jobs of the future.
"As Seattle grows, it's more important than ever that we help prepare our young people for the jobs of the future," said Mayor Durkan. "These new Career Connected Learning Grants will help build pipelines to opportunity for the next generation. We are excited to be partnering with these community organizations to build a more affordable future."
"This program is all about making sure Seattle youth have the skills they need to be successful in the first steps of their career," said Office of Economic Development Acting Director Bobby Lee. "These grants will fund programs that help young people develop important employability skills like problem solving and time management, while at the same time introducing youth to fun, rewarding careers available right here in Seattle."
The nine programs receiving funding will lead Seattle youth through hands-on trainings, workshops, tours and more, all aimed at building job competencies while introducing youth to high-demand careers in industries including IT, healthcare and maritime. The grant awarded to Seattle Public Schools' Health Services Pathway Program, for example, will increase SPS's capacity to educate its youth about careers in the local healthcare industry and embed career learning into its curriculum.
"We are thrilled to receive this support from the City of Seattle, which will provide wonderful opportunities for students to explore and prepare for a wide range of careers," said Jane Hendrickson, Career Technical Education (CTE) Program Manager at Seattle Public Schools. "We also hope that the Health & Medical Pathway will become a model for the type of high-quality career-focused programming that we are trying to build in alignment with industries across our city, given our emphasis on CTE pathways in the district's new strategic plan."
National and local research has demonstrated that an expansive approach is needed to effectively prepare youth for successful careers. The 2018 Job Readiness Skills for Youth report stresses the importance of developing "soft skills" so that Seattle youth are ready for their first jobs and have positive early experiences in the workforce. In addition to skill building, it is also important to empower youth to pursue the careers of their dreams—even those careers they may think of as being out of reach.

"Juma Seattle career tours not only give young people a chance to see career possibilities, they also give youth from underserved communities a sense of belonging," said Ren Gooch, Marketing and Communications Manager at Juma Seattle. "One Juma youth summed it up after a career tour at Boeing Airfield when she said, 'Seeing everyone working here makes me think I can do this. I can be girly and like makeup and still come to work every day and build airplanes.' Thanks to the grant from OED, this year Juma will be able to provide even more youth with these experiences, which can change the course of their lives and give them the confidence to reach for their dreams."
Funded programs are preparing youth for the jobs of tomorrow, in alignment with Mayor Durkan's Future of Work subcabinet. Seattle is at the forefront of emerging industries and technologies such as virtual reality, and connecting local youth with opportunities in these industries will help them navigate a workforce facing pressure from automation and other changes in the global economy.
"For years, ReWA has operated a Youth Job Readiness Training program for East African high school youth. After the youth complete their job readiness training and a group project, we place them in summer internships to practice their job skills and gain experience in a field that is related to their career interests," explained ReWA Youth Program Manager Emily Tomita. "Every year, it's a challenge to find internships for high school youth in tech fields. Our goal is to prepare youth to thrive in the Seattle economy, and access to early experiences in the tech sector are incredibly valuable. We are grateful to OED for providing us with an opportunity to create meaningful tech-focused internships for immigrant and refugee high school youth!"
OED issued a Career Connected Learning Request for Proposals in March 2019 that required applicants to focus on building job readiness competencies. Applicants were required to partner with an employer and describe how their proposal serves youth of color, immigrants and refugees, low-income youth, youth experiencing homelessness or housing instability, opportunity youth and/or English language learners. OED received 18 applications and is granting a total of $219,921 to nine organizations in 2019.
The organizations receiving this inaugural round of funding are:
Seattle Public Schools Skills Center– Apprenticeship Next
ReWA– Emerging Technologies Immersion
Juma Ventures– Explore + Connect
Seattle Public Schools – Health Services Pathway Program
Vietnamese Friendship Association – Urban Fresh Food Collective
Goodwill – Youth Maritime Collaborative
Multicultural Center – Youth Career Pathways
Seattle College District Workforce Development Office – Seattle Colleges Preview Days
Computing for All – Digital Skills for All
The Career Connected Learning grants are a new part of the City's expanding efforts to prepare Seattle's youth for success in the local economy. Building off her Seattle Promise College Tuition Program, Mayor Durkan announced the Opportunity Promise program this year, a partnership with Seattle Colleges, local businesses, and labor unions to provide Seattle Promise students access to paid internships with Seattle's top employers and labor organizations, as well as access to high-quality pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship training. The new Career Connected Learning Grants will not only prepare Seattle youth for entry into Seattle Colleges and first internships, but also get youth excited about available careers and encourage them to begin thinking about their career goals and interests.
Awarded grantees will be included in a cohort to help programs learn from each other, create pathways, and help the City identify and continuously improve strategies aimed at increasing employability for Seattle's youth.

The voice is a medium we use to successfully interact with the outside world. Unfortunately, most people's voices change or even disappear after a laryngectomy. To improve these patients' quality of life, a team of researchers from the universities in Kaunas, Lithuania invented a new substitute voice evaluation index – it will detect pathologies in patients' voices faster and better.
Removal of the larynx – a laryngectomy, usually performed for advanced laryngeal cancer, dramatically changes the voice, which greatly alters the patient's normal life. Researcher of Kaunas University of Technology Faculty of Informatics (KTU IF) Rytis says that the change in voice after laryngectomy depends on the severity of the situation: "For some, the voice changes only slightly, while for others, it can be a life-changing situation. Imagine calling someone on the phone, emergency services, police, etc. – and the one you're calling does not understand anything. Or even not hear you – as the phone's noise removal system will cut it out".
"These types of surgeries require the removal of one or both vocal folds, part or even the entire larynx to remove a malignant laryngeal tumour. As a result, after oncological laryngeal surgery, the voice is extracted using only the laryngeal structures left after the operation, which are physiologically not intended for this – we call such a voice a "substitute voice," says professor Virgilijus Ulozas professor at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU). He emphasises that the quality of voice and speech deteriorates after such an operation, complicating the patients' communication possibilities and quality of life.
Artificial intelligence as an assistant to voice analysis
Recently, researchers from KTU and LSMU published a study in which, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) signal processing, it was possible to determine whether a patient has certain voice pathologies.
According to Maskeliūnas, the idea to study and determine the voice quality of patients after laryngectomy came from a medical team led by an expert in this field, Prof Ulozas. To facilitate and automate the post-operative process, the KTU researchers used AI technologies, which allowed them to conditionally replace an expert doctor, a very positive result evaluated in the clinical study.
"Usually, the doctor analyses the voice and provides an index of the impairment; patients themselves also fill out a questionnaire on how they perceive the quality of the voice. Voice signal energy, formants, and other parameters are also used when performing digital signal analysis," says Maskeliūnas.
According to him, this study is unique: "Previous studies have never successfully used artificial intelligence as an expert assistant in voice analysis".
According to the scientist, due to this innovation, the process after surgery becomes automatised, which allows the installation of automated screening solutions, making it easier for doctors to follow and record the course of the disease and establish diagnoses.
The new "substitute" voice evaluation index is promising
During the research, the KTU and LSMU research team is glad to announce a discovery – the Acoustic Substitution Voice Index (ASVI), which will allow scientists to quantitatively measure and evaluate the patient's "substitute" voice after oncological laryngitis using acoustic parameters of the voice signal and artificial intelligence methods.
"Until now, in medical practice, there was no suitable method to objectively and quantitatively evaluate the "substitute" voice. Our proposed ASVI algorithm allows the evaluation process to be done automatically in a concise time," says Prof Ulozas.
He also believes that this discovery would allow the patient to perform a voice test at home or in a non-specialised medical institution if negative changes in the voice are noticed early. On the other hand, the professor emphasises that good ASVI indicators, in the absence of other complaints, would allow patients to avoid unnecessary visits to medical professionals.
The first clinical trials of the ASVI are also very optimistic. A further goal of the researchers is to develop a convenient, clinically acceptable prototype to measure ASVI in a real clinical setting. For example, it could be a mobile app available both to specialists and patients.
In the future, such automation of diagnosis will open up new possibilities. To determine the acoustic index of the "substitute" voice it will be enough to have a smartphone or any other device with an internet connection with you. After uploading an audio recording or just by talking, changes in the voice will be analysed, the system will show an estimate, based on which the further course of treatment will be decided.
