London, United Kingdom – Patrick Kelly is nicely familiar with gigantic tales and pivoting plots. On the crowded cabinets of his bookshop in Brixton, in south London, thrillers and dramas compete silently for the attention of a handful of mute clients.
However Kelly admits there's no story to rival the political twists and turns which have gripped the UK and threatened to plunge embattled Top Minister Theresa Might possibly unbiased this week.
The events of the final week have marked a brand unusual chapter in the nation's dramatic present to go the 28-member European Union, after 52 % of Britons voted to leave the bloc at some stage in a referendum in June 2016.
And in Lambeth, the London borough that Brixton belongs to and where extra than seventy eight % of voters opted to reside, two-and-a-half of years of unpredictable and unwanted outcomes have taken a toll.
"While you happen to wrote it in a novel, other folks would no longer assume it; they would throw it down and teach it is too far-fetched," Kelly says.
Kelly is rarely any longer on my own.
From seasoned political journalists camped outdoors parliament in Westminster to public dwelling pundits unfold at some stage in the kingdom, Britons had been left staring broad-eyed this week after the UK's Brexit crisis kicked into overdrive.
Since Monday, Might possibly unbiased has pulled a parliamentary vote on a Brexit deal she brought lend a hand dwelling after lengthy and arduous negotiations with EU counterparts; survived a bruising vote of self belief on her leadership of the ruling Conservative Occasion; and dashed to Brussels – twice – in a present to bewitch "proper and political reassurances" on the exit proposal's contentious "Irish backstop" clause.
Thru it all, EU officers have refused to blink and as some other maintained that no amendments to the deal will be drawing shut.
In Brixton, a cosmopolitan corner of London, the phenomenal flip of events has ushered in a mood of changeable and dismay.
"As great as I'd love to flip off the Brexit noise on chronicle of it is on occasion overwhelming, I had been following the trends over this previous week and I earn it is turning real into a real mess," says Patricia Hamzahee, a trustee at Brixton's Gloomy Cultural Archives museum.
"I'm very sceptical about the entire nirvana reports of the Brexiteers that the sector is going to be a vibrant, greater reputation after we leave the EU. I if truth be told am frightened about what future my kids can peek forward to," the 60-365 days-worn mother of two provides.
Hamzahee's worries are additionally shared by other Britons.
All the pieces that's transpired since aged Top Minister David Cameron officially introduced in early 2016 the referendum on Britain's EU membership – from the spiralling rhetoric about immigration in the lead-as a lot as the vote and the spike in hate crimes that followed it, throughout the Brexit-prompted turnover of senior executive officers (no longer to display Cameron himself and two secretaries tasked with leading the negotiations with the EU), to broken fiscal promises and warnings over impending economic doom – has ideal served to step by step ramp up a distressing combine of uncertainty and unease, and, at cases, outright dismay.
"There just will not be a readability round what the lengthy flee is going to peek love and due to the ongoing factionalism [in parliament] … there's unbiased appropriate no one obvious direction and that's what is if truth be told nerve-racking," Hamzahee says.
Having survived for now, Might possibly unbiased has promised to bring her withdrawal diagram lend a hand to Parliament in early January and, with a aim to soothe Conservative critics, stand down as top minister sooner than the UK's subsequent phenomenal election, scheduled for 2022.
The beleaguered-however-resilient top minister mute faces battles on a expansive desire of parliamentary fronts over a Brexit diagram that's deeply adversarial by each professional-EU MPs desperate to steer clear of exiting the bloc and Eurosceptic critics who teach her deal fails to bring a neat damage from Brussels.
The disparate views have produced political gridlock, with apparently the ideal existing consensus in parliament being that it would possibly perchance well be ideal for Britain to steer clear of a doubtlessly catastrophic no-deal departure on March 29 subsequent 365 days, when the UK is scheduled to formally leave the EU.
5 kilometres from Parliament, in the bustling Brixton Village having a peek arcade, a Caribbean restaurant owner, who calls himself Brian, claims there is a straightforward resolution for breaking the impasse, however.
"If the politicians cannot agree, they wish to purchase it lend a hand to the folk to provide them steering," Brian says.
"Individually, I earn this total Brexit thing ought to mute never have came about … [so] in the event that they call a 2d referendum, I will be elated," the Forty nine-365 days-worn provides.
It is miles a ogle shared by others in Brixton, where the traces of immigration to the UK are boldly sketched out on the neighbourhood's myriad independently owned world restaurants and stores.
"We've to have a 2d vote, so many these who voted leave have told me they now are attempting to reside," says Tom Kane, a supervisor at aged Conservative Occasion social membership became public dwelling the Effra Social.
"I'd settle for this deal (Might possibly unbiased's Brexit diagram) if there used to be strengthen for it, no longer unbiased appropriate on chronicle of we want to fabricate of dart alongside with it," the 28-365 days-worn provides.
Recent polling performed by the UK's Nationwide Centre for Social Study suggests the effects of the 2016 referendum would be inverted in a 2d vote, with 52 % now in favour of ultimate in the EU and forty eight % looking out for to leave.
However some prominent Brexiteers argue a 2d referendum would quantity to a treacherous subversion of democracy and the main result ought to mute be honoured.
Last weekend, thousands of demonstrators converged in London for a talented-Leave "Brexit Betrayal" march, led by far-proper resolve Tommy Robinson.
Within the interim, several professional-leave MPs in Might possibly unbiased's Conservative Occasion, at the side of Jacob Rees-Mogg and aged Brexit Secretary David Davis have likened maintaining a 2d referendum to inserting in a "dictatorship" and said "the folk have already determined" on the EU.
Acknowledging the febrile atmosphere, some professional-Remain voters appear to have adopted a extra fatalistic stance over a conceivable 2d vote, laying naked the extent to which British society has been divided alongside multiple lines over the singular exclaim of Brexit.
"I'd have said 'yahoo' to a 2d referendum a pair of weeks ago, however no longer from now on," says Kelly from in the lend a hand of the counter in his bookshop, arguing that one other such pollmight perchance additionally exacerbate the tensions sick Britain this day.
For Hamzahee, however, the exclaim is unpleasant.
"The these who have the work in this reputation, the these who earn issues performed, across the board, whether it is in colleges, hospitals, cafes and building sites and real throughout the reputation, are in general other folks from in other locations," Hamzahee says, visibly distressed as she weighs up the invent of quitting the bloc.
"I mean, purchase London. I love this metropolis. I've lived in Unique York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Sao Paulo and Ankara, and I'm in a position to uncover you that London is the hub of the sector and that's what makes it the actual reputation it is," she provides.


Females descendants of Confucius will be included in the genealogy now being compiled.
The current project to trace Confucius' genealogy began in 1996 and is the fifth of its kind. But this time, female descendants will be included, and their names will be written in the same size as their male counterparts. The names of the female descendants' husbands will be printed next to them and marked in smaller characters. If the children of female descendants carry the surname Kong, they will also be included in the genealogy.

"Customers have become accustomed to software-driven simplicity in other parts of their business and personal lives and they want it for shipping too," says Troels Støvring, CEO of Twill.
Troels Støvring and his team built the beta version of Twill in just 20 weeks. While the pace of its further development will be driven by customer feedback, the ambition is that Damco's new digital freight forwarder will also scale up fast.
Simple does not describe the typical freight forwarding customer's experience today. Unfortunately, emails, phone calls and the associated waiting and worrying about where one's products are in the supply chain constitute an all too familiar reality.
Twill's online platform offers customers one place to view quotes and place bookings instantly, manage related documents, track shipments and proactively address exceptions. No more waiting, no more annoying back and forth communication, no more uncertainty. Twill customers can access a simple, self-service interface online wherever and whenever they choose.
Of course, Twill is not alone in providing a digital alternative to freight forwarding customers. The market has seen an influx of competitors over the last few years and Twill faces tough competition from a mix of venture capital-backed start-ups rapidly acquiring scale and other logistics incumbents like its parent, Damco.
After a successful beta version of Twill was launched with a limited number of customers using it to do business between the UK and China, Twill is now open for business in the UK market.
CEO of Twill Troels Støvring and his team built the beta version of Twill in just 20 weeks.
Because of its customer-driven development, Twill was never meant to be seen as a finished product, but rather as one that grows in step with customer needs. As customers use it and provide feedback, more shipping routes, features and products will be added. The Twill team can update the online platform just as one would an app.
If Twill is successful, the benefit to Damco's overall business would be significant. While supply chain management is Damco's primary business, freight forwarding contributes nearly one-third of Damco's revenue.
By improving the freight forwarding customers' experience, and making their lives simpler, Twill hopes to win more business from existing customers as well as win new customers. It also expects to reap major savings from the lower cost required to serve customers on the digital platform.
"Twill is a story about growth and efficiency. We can grow and optimise our current freight forwarding business and then use the efficiency gains from our leaner processes to reinvest and grow even more. It won't be easy, this is a market with some strong competitors. But if we keep our focus on what the customer needs, we will succeed," says Støvring.


On Eurozone economy, he warned that risk of hard Brexit and global trade war continued to "loom large". But he's still optimistic that factors weighing down Eurozone growth are waning. And there will be recovery in the second half.

Senate Acquits Trump; RI Delegation Condemns GOP 'Coverup'
The US Capitol Building, viewed from the rear of the property.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — "The arc of history is indeed long, and it does bend toward justice – but not today," said Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) following the U.S. Senate's acquittal of President Donald J. Trump on both articles of impeachment Wednesday.
The vote on each article fell nearly entirely along party lines, with Sen. Mitt Romney the sole Republican voting to find Trump guilty of using the power of the presidency to personal advantage by withholding Congressionally approved military aid to pressure the Ukrainian president to announce an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden.
Two Independents and 45 Democrats voted guilty on that first article. The remaining 52 Republicans voted to acquit. The vote on the second article, that Trump blocked Congress's investigation into his alleged wrongdoing, also acquitted Trump, this time with all 53 Republicans voting to absolve the President.
"The impeachment outcome is settled. As it was from day one," said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), noting that the trial ran against a partisan wall.
"The evidence shows President Trump deliberately and illicitly sought foreign help to manufacture a scandal that would elevate him by tarnishing a political rival," Reed said.
"The House impeachment managers have made this abundantly clear, a fact that even Republican Senators don't contest," said Congressman Jim Langevin (D-RI). "In fact, for the first time in history a Senator has voted to remove a President from his own party, and I commend Senator Romney for his courage and integrity."
Facts laid out by the U.S. House of Representatives and witnesses making the case against the President were not challenged by the President's legal team, which instead argued against the process, which is charted out in the U.S. Constitution.
"The verdict in the Senate is not the product of a real trial and is not an exoneration. This was a cover up. Plain and simple."
When the impeachment articles were debated in the Senate, Trump blocked his former national security advisor John Bolton from testifying. This position was unchanged as word of Bolton's account of the Ukraine incident in an upcoming book threatened to cast a corrupt shadow on Trump's actions, and might have been disproved while Bolton was under oath.
NOW, CHECK OUT THIS:
Langevin: Trump Should Resign, or be Removed
In fact, Republican Senators voted to block any witnesses testimony during the impeachment, making history as the first impeachment trial without witnesses.
"The Senate's part was to deny the most basic elements of a fair trial: Witnesses and evidence," Whitehouse said.
"As President Trump staked out new, expansive, and aggressive positions about executive privilege, immunity, and the limits of Congress's oversight authority, Republican leaders went along with it," Reed said.
"I've heard a variety of explanations for why my Republican colleagues voted against witnesses. But the simplest explanation is this: My Republican colleagues did not want to hear new evidence because they have a hunch it would be really, really bad for this President. It would further expose the depth of his wrongdoing. And it would make it harder for them to vote to acquit."
"The American people deserved a fair and legitimate Senate trial that considered the full body of evidence to get to the whole truth," Langevin said. " Throughout our nation's history, the Senate has considered the testimony of witnesses in every impeachment trial because critical information should not be left in the dark when the stakes are this high."
"The verdict in the Senate is not the product of a real trial and is not an exoneration. This was a cover up. Plain and simple," said Rhode Island Congressman David Cicilline.
"I commend Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse for advocating for a trial that considered every aspect of what transpired. I support their position that the President's conduct reached – and, in fact, far exceeded – the high bar set forth in the Constitution for an impeachable offense. It is truly a dark day for democracy when partisan politics trump the notion that no one is above the law."

New California Law Protecting Planned Parenthood may "Silence Whistleblowers"
A few weeks ago, California Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 1671 into law, criminalizing the recording or distribution of conversations with healthcare providers.

Establishing an Exchange hybrid setup and configuring your tenant are some of the first steps in moving to Exchange Online. This process often gets bogged down in politics, competing priorities with other teams, and general configuration minutia. Fear no more! Learn how you, the messaging admin, can move to Exchange Online without talking to your network admin. Blocked by your pesky security team on the requirements for publishing Exchange? Come learn how you can mitigate their concerns. Come see the changes we're making to the Exchange hybrid architecture and how we're simplifying the process of moving to Exchange Online.
Do you need to do keep an Exchange Server on-premises when you are finished moving your mailboxes to the cloud? The answer is all to do with your identity sync options and therefore it is very important not to confuse "Exchange Hybrid" with "Hybrid Identity." In this theater session we look at the impact of user management in the cloud when you are syncing users from Active Directory and the impact that has on your Exchange deployment.
If you're running an Exchange on-premises organization, you know your way around Exchange, Active Directory, Windows Server, and the third-party products that make up the Exchange ecosystem, and all is well. Then, you move to the cloud and suddenly you're operating in the new world of Office 365 and Exchange Online and everything is very different. This session explains ten of the most important areas that new Office 365 administrators need to master to make a success of Exchange Online and all the other applications available within Office 365. It also includes a discussion about the evolving skill set needed by tenant administrators. The focus is practical and pragmatic, wrapped up in knowledge and experience.

MEF18 Proof of Concept, 29 - 31 Oct - Zero Touch Automation for SD-WAN + SECaaS + Virtual Cloud Exchange (VCX). PoC Participants: Tata Communications and Fortinet. Speakers: Nicolas Thomas, Consulting Systems Engineer, Fortinet and Vineet Anshuman, Global Product Manager, Tata Communications Transformation Services. The PoC goal is zero touch automation for SD-WAN with Security as a Service and Virtual Cloud Exchange for seamless connectivity to public cloud. The idea is to prove that we can operate in a fully automated service deployment in the cloud as well as multiple branches with secured SD-WAN at the same time. This is zero touch and TOSCA model-driven within the LSO Framework. A typical use case is: a large, regulated mutli-national enterprise wants to do a confidential townhall live. We will deploy the streaming service and SD-WAN adaptations in the branches from one model to allow a good latency and priority on the day for live streaming. Then another model will change the priority for the replay of the video when normal business resumes. Fortinet is leading the Security-as-a-Service group in MEF. This is part of the MEF 3.0 SD-WAN sub-committee that is helping shape a fully automated, cross-service provider, software-defined federation of capabilities in order for telcos to provide end-to-end protection and service quality to their end customers.

U.S.-Mexico migration talks continue as tariff deadline looms
WASHINGTON/MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – U.S. and Mexican negotiators resumed migration talks on Friday as the two sides edged closer to a trade war that could hobble both countries' economies and rattle investors already nervous about Washington's escalating battle with China.
U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that tariffs of 5% will be imposed on all Mexican exports to the United States on Monday if Mexico does not step up efforts to stem an increase in mostly Central American migrants heading for the U.S. border.
"As negotiations continued yesterday, we were more encouraged that they came forward with some of the things we put on the table Wednesday to say they were open to that," Marc Short, chief of staff to U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, told reporters outside the White House.
Short added that the Trump administration planned to move forward with a legal notification of its planned 5% tariff on Mexican goods. "You should anticipate that happening today," he said.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said while the meetings had gone well, "we're still on track for tariffs on Monday."
Trump, who has railed against what he describes as a surge of migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border, will have the final say over any deal, Pence said on Thursday. Pence also said progress had been made in the talks but gave no specifics.
Trump is returning to Washington on Friday after a week-long trip to Europe.
The U.S. president has threatened to continue raising the tariffs on Mexico after the initial levies go into effect on June. 10 if a migration deal fails to materialize.
Mexico, whose economy is heavily dependent on trade with the United States, is scrambling to avoid such a scenario.
"It's a good sign that talks have not broken down," Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador told reporters in Mexico City. "There is dialogue and an agreement can be reached. I'm optimistic we can achieve that."
White House says Mexico tariffs 'still on track' for Monday
U.S. welcomes Mexico immigration offers, but 'long way to go': official
Lopez Obrador, however, said it was a mistake for the United States to link migration with trade.
Mexico has prepared a list of possible retaliatory tariffs targeting U.S. products from agricultural and industrial states regarded as Trump's electoral base, a tactic China has also used with an eye toward the president's 2020 re-election bid.
That would put the United States in a serious trade dispute with its southern neighbor and China – two of its three top trading partners.
The United States slapped up to 25% tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports last month, prompting Beijing to levy its own tariffs on a revised target list of $60 billion in American goods.
Trump said on Thursday he would decide later this month whether to carry out his threat to hit Beijing with tariffs on at least $300 billion in Chinese goods.
U.S. officials officially granted Chinese exporters two more weeks to get their products into the United States before increasing tariffs on those items, according to a U.S. government notice posted online on Friday.
U.S. business groups are generally opposed to the escalation of the trade tensions, warning that the tariffs will raise costs for companies and lead to higher prices for American consumers. Trump's fellow Republicans also are not keen on the tariffs.
Economists warn that the trade wars could damage key supply lines and lead to a further slowdown of the global economy. Even the United States, one of the more solid performers on the economic stage, would suffer.
The U.S. Labor Department reported on Friday that job growth slowed sharply in May and wages rose less than expected, raising fears that a loss of momentum in economic activity could be spreading to the labor market.
Global equities rose on Friday on the prospect that central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, would loosen monetary policy to offset trade frictions and the threat of global recession.
Analysts warn that tariffs could spark a recession in Mexico. Credit ratings agency Fitch downgraded Mexico's sovereign debt rating on Wednesday, citing trade tensions among other risks, while Moody's lowered its outlook to negative.
Ahead of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Trump is eager to show progress on his 2016 campaign pledges to take a hard line on immigration. Apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border hit a decade high in May.

Islamophobes Publish Fake Image of "Muslims Throwing Christian Girl From Window"
"Emperor" of Loonwatch
Posted Dec 7, 2013 •Permalink • Printer-Friendly Version
by "Emperor" of Loonwatch
The image above was posted on the right-wing website, FreePatriot.org, in an article titled "Muslim Mob Justice–15 year old girl thrown from Third Floor window."
Free Patriot has a half million Facebook fans and after the article was shared on its page it went viral on the Islamophobia industry's interwebs.
Rick Wells who authored the post claimed that the picture was of a girl thrown from a third floor window by Muslims,
In a truly outrageous demonstration of the lawlessness that exists in Egypt today, the Muslim residents of a small village in southern Minya province went on a rampage. They attacked Christian homes, burning 10 of them. 15 Christians were wounded, including a 15 year-old girl who was thrown from the third floor of a building. The report is from Ezzat Ibrahim, a minority rights activist.
Wells made the story about the image up whole cloth.
The real story behind the image: It is actually from June, 2011 and takes place in Shanghai, China not Minya, Egypt and the woman was not thrown out of the window but rather fell from the fifth floor!:
A WOMAN has survived a fall from the fifth floor after a number of windows she hit on her way down broke her fall.
The Sun reports horrified onlookers saw her jump out after someone is believed to have threatened her.
Asia One said the incident happened at a residential building in Shanghai's Luwan district, where the woman was spotted crouching from the window on the fifth floor yelling, "Somebody is going to kill me!"
The woman, 29 lost her grip on the window and fell into several open windows, which sent her spinning during her fall.
The unnamed woman was rushed to hospital after the plunge and is recovering from the incident.
It happened just days after the woman was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
It isn't surprising or exactly breaking news that the Christian Right is willing to go to the lowest depths to demonize Muslims and Islam but what's interesting is the pathology behind their lies.
Even after several commenters exposed the story to be false, many continue to believe it and state quite clearly that they do not care for the truth:
Justin Pearson writes a comment for which he got 102 upvotes:
Ok., stop looking at the girl ppl. Its not about her. Yes., she is Asian. Yes, she got thrown out a window and yes., she is bound to suffer some terrible injuries when she hits that window and the ground after…, please however as Pissed off Patriot says., its not about her., its the story as a whole.
We can become side tracked by the smaller things ( I apologise to her parents for that choice of words) but its the greater picture here folks.
islam is taking over the world in an extream atmosphere over run by extreamists and a weak islamic communist loving son of a bitch in the oval office named obama who happens to hate Americans who has actually broken international law…., as well committe high treason for selling weapons to known enemies.
The point here folks…., is that islam cant be trusted.
Either you bow down to their false god and become a cult member, or you get thrown out windows or stoned to death or something else.
Howard writes,
muslim trash of the earth
Rick Mage, the proud Texan,
Hey, come try that shit here in Texas, Muslim militants! We'll be more than happy to mow you scums down. You'll find that the Christians in Texas aren't so easy to push over, and we LOVE TO fight! So, come on down!
PissedOffPatriot,
I can't believe you people are over looking what this story is about! It's not about the picture damn it! It is about the fact that Muslims kill for no reason other than their own laws!! Forget if shes' Asian or her age! Read the story not look at the picture! This shows that you are uneducated and this is the problem with letting Muslims get away with what they are doing around the World!!!!!
On the Christian Right it's OK to spread lies and fear in the War against Islam, who knows which Jesus they believe in, probably the wrathful one.

Even more alarming is the lack of certified security engineers available in the job market.
Large enterprises protect and defend themselves with huge security teams, expensive technology and disciplined processes. However, most small businesses cannot afford that, and according to the U.S. census bureau, that leaves 99.7 percent of all U.S. employer firms at a huge security disadvantage. Even more alarming is the lack of certified security engineers available in the job market.
Several times each year we attend conferences to discuss industry trends, both good and bad, with our peers in the information technology support industry. Of the nearly 600-plus companies in attendance, only a handful had what most would consider a mature security practice.
In the past, I have written about the various ways your network and personal data is subject to theft and manipulation. Whether through phishing attempts or ransomware and brute-force attacks, there are myriad ways to infiltrate a network. Common security best practice recommendations, to name a few, would be training users to identify malicious emails and attachments, as well as implementing next-generation firewall devices and antivirus software.
The latest generation of security products, such as firewalls and antivirus, communicate with one another to identify, isolate and eradicate malicious files. However, even the newest solutions are not perfect, and vetting what files are actually malicious versus those that are safe "false positives" can create a lot of overhead. Proper vetting of security threats requires human analysis; otherwise you end up with safe files incorrectly blocked, creating delays and missed deadlines.
Without the deep pockets of enterprise organizations, small business owners must find other ways to mitigate these security issues, as well as the overhead of hiring security experts. After all, the size of a business does not dictate the importance of the information they are responsible for safeguarding — including, but not limited to, intellectual property and customer data. As a result, business owners should consider outsourcing the full spectrum of their security needs in the same manner as their network support. There are a number of firms offering outsourced security information and event management services at a fraction of the cost of a fully burdened security expert's salary.
I would caution any non-technical small business owner from trying to address their company's security vulnerabilities alone. Depending on your industry, it is possible you are already noncompliant in a number of government-regulated areas, which is always a challenge given how quickly technology and the ability to abuse it changes. Do yourself a favor and discuss your security with a trusted IT adviser.

The science-fiction author Ray Bradbury called his 1953 classic, about a man who burned books for a living, Fahrenheit 451. Of course, he could have named it the metric equivalent: Celsius 233. This is the temperature at which paper made from wood pulp begins to burn.


I've decided to start these battle of the brands posts, simply because I think they would be the most helpful kind of review. Realistically, when you're shopping you're weighing up options. This first post will focus on heat defence products for hair styling. Something that has always been a struggle for me to find. My hair is very particular about what it accepts – a lot products tend to leave it sticky, dry, tangly or just… unfavourable, so taking the risk of spraying something on my hair post-wash is not one to be taken lightly.
I am always super sceptical of products that claim to 'repair' hair – simply because it cannot be done, but otherwise, this spray is easy to use, smells okay, is great on damp hair, lightweight and does the trick. So long as I use a heat defence, my hair stays in pretty great condition between my bi-annual haircuts (don't judge me) but what I really don't like about this product is that it doesn't help to keep frizz at bay. I dread blow drying my hair, simply because I cannot tame the fly aways afterwards, which often results in me straightening my hair or just tying it up so I don't have to deal with it, which isn't ideal..
The Tresemme Heat Defence Styling Spray (£4.99 – 300ml) is overall very similar. It's great to apply to damp hair, smells okay, keeps my hair protected and doesn't leave me with any sticky residue which is fantastic.
Although this product by the millilitre is cheaper, it makes bigger claims than the Dove alternative… it says it's a 'professional quality product', seals in shine, protects your hair from heat damage from blow drying and straightening as well as preventing frizz and fly aways. Where do I start? I would agree that this spray does offer great protection and helps to keep hair glossy and shiny, which is definitely an added bonus, but again, it doesn't help to control frizz or fly aways!
Overall, it's kinda difficult to compare these products, simply because they are pretty much the same! They both offer great heat protection, are lightweight, seal in shine, smell okay, are widely available and are easy to use. Sadly neither help me to combat the frizz attack after blowdrying, so for this reason I'll be moving on once I've used them all up. I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend either of them, but if your hair is relatively easy to control, I'd definitely go for one of these! They're cheap and are a great staple for styling hair! If I had to choose a winner though, it would have to be the Tresemme Heat Defence spray – it's cheaper, comes in a bigger bottle and will look much better on your shelf!
What are your favourite heat protectors? Feel free to leave any recommendations below!


Discovering that your girlfriend cheated on you is one of the most painful experiences for a guy. The incident has the capacity to leave you shattered and confused.
Many guys become self-critical and blame themselves for the incident. One also tends to get in a dilemma on whether to end the relationship in an acrimonious way or to give her a second chance. Well, the situation is rather difficult and it is important that you maintain your composure and not let your emotions to get the better of you.
After you come to know that you have been cheated upon, the first thought that comes to mind is what would have possibly led her to do this to you. Your mind rewinds all those great moments that you spent together. For a moment you are filled with joy and excitement, and then the ghosts of what she was up to all that time come back to haunt you.
It can be a very challenging situation as the person who has hurt you is one whom you loved the most. It is difficult to rationalize issues concerning the heart, but to get over this emotional turmoil, it is important that you adopt an objective outlook on the whole issue.
During the initial days of your break-up it becomes very difficult to get rid of the moments that you spend together as a couple. It lingers in your mind and you sub-consciously start hating yourself for not being able to live up to her expectations.
You get into a mode wherein you want to know what the other guy looks like or what is so special about him that made your girl to commit all this. These thoughts are pensive but not worth the effort as the answers, instead of providing solace will introduce you to a new subset of questions. It is hence important, that you focus your attention somewhere else.
If you have been cheated upon, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to trust and love your girl the way you used to, so there is no point in getting back to her. The best way forward is to call her once and explain why it would not be possible for you to be in a relationship with her.
Although, in situations like these, it is very difficult to stay composed, it is very important that you don't make a scene by abusing or threatening her. This in fact, will make you think more about her which again will hurt you.
The next step in the direction would be to go out of the town for a few days, as initially, she will try her level-best to contact you, which in any case won't help you. It is advisable, therefore, that you plan something that takes you far from all this for sometime.
How about spending some time with your parents? How about renting a bike, leaving your cell phone at home and embarking on a trip across the country? May be you were always amused with what Clapton does to a six-stringer, but never had the time to know more about it.
May be you always wanted to go trekking but her challenges with vertigo made you to put it off. Well, this can be one of the perfect times to do all that. This can be the time to be yourself once again.
How about hitting the gym or having a go at kick-boxing? Physical activity can help a great deal in relieving your mood, apart from helping you achieve as envious physique.
These activities will keep you active and occupied, and with little determination you will be able to accept it and get over it. It may be a bit difficult initially, but it is important that you never lose out on hope and positivity.
These were some tips that can be helpful while trying to get over a cheating girlfriend. We understand that when someone you love and care about cheats on you, it becomes very difficult to throw them out of your life at one go, but you need to put in some effort to start life afresh.


The Joint European Torus (JET) device, located at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, has begun a 15-month refit to enhance its already unique role in the development of fusion energy.
JET, which is operated by CCFE on behalf of its European partners under the European Fusion Development Agreement, will be upgraded with key systems to support preparations for ITER, the next-step international fusion project being built at Cadarache, France.
Chief among the upgrades is a new inner wall to test the mix of materials that will be used in ITER. JET's diagnostic and control capabilities will also be strengthened and its heating power increased by around 50%.
The shutdown period will be followed by deuterium and tritium experiments in which JET anticipates going beyond previously achieved results of generated fusion energy.
Find out more, and follow progress in a weekly shutdown report, on the EFDA-JET website: www.jet.efda.org.


The first component will be composed of a camera pointing to my dog's plate and a microcontroller with a servomotor which will open and close the food door from the food container. In this place there is no WIFI access nor power outlets, so it will run on batteries. I hope the computing in this component to be as low as possible, so if it can be done without it running on linux or other OS it would be great.
The second component will communicate with the first one and with my router so I can access it remotely via Internet. This one can be plugged to a power outlet.
The usage of this would consist on me being able to log on my phone (with an app I create) to the second component for it to show me the live video and send a signal through it to open the food container door for a set amount of time. I have one BeagleBone Black I can use for this project, which I think I will apply on the second component.
What protocol would be suitable for the communication between both components (bluetooth, zigbee, 6lowpan, etc)? The camera will probably be 640*480 or higher and there is no problem on delays (~ 15s - 20s) as long as I can watch relatively continuous live video to check my dog is eating and well. It should be as low-power consuming as possible for batteries to run a long time.
Is there any way to make the first component be able to stream the video without it running an OS?
I know there are some more logical solutions (extend the wifi network, buy an already on market solution, etc) but I am wishing to use this project as a learning instance for IoT as well. I have done research, but have not been able to land on any convincing conclusions. I hope you guys can help me on this or at least point me on the right direction. I (and my dog) will be very grateful.
@rams or @shuveb may help you.


John McCullagh, senior lecturer at Stranmillis University College Belfast, reports from the Northern Ireland heat of our Analytical Division Schools' Analyst Competition.
This annual event, held at Stranmillis University College Belfast, is organised by the local Analytical Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry and involved 12 schools from right across Northern Ireland. The three sixth-form girls from Thornhill were judged to be the most accurate and precise in their chemical analysis of everyday household products which included lemon juice and an iron health supplement.
The competition showcases the importance of STEM subjects, particularly chemistry, to the local pharmaceutical and food industries. After the event the winning team of Jessica O'Hare, Aoibh Graham and Amy English said, "the RSC Schools' Analyst Competition was a brilliant opportunity for us to work together as a team and apply our existing knowledge in a practical way to real life situations. There was a great sense of enthusiasm throughout the whole day and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We are delighted to progress to the national final in June!".
Their winning teacher and head of Thornhill College chemistry department, Caroline Devine, added, "I always look forward to the RSC Schools' Analyst Competition each year. It is a wonderful learning experience for my students, enabling them to carry out challenging experiments in a university setting."
The team from Friends' School narrowly pipped students from Lumen Christi to second place.
In addition to winning book vouchers to support the teaching of chemistry, the winners will now go on to represent the Northern Ireland region in the UK final at Sussex University on 21 and 22 June. We wish them well!


Masterclass organisers invite nearby schools to nominate students for their local Masterclasses. Teachers are asked to put forward just a few students in the relevant year-group. We encourage teachers to select those who they feel will benefit most from attending - those who have interest and curiosity in the subject, a determination to explore, but also who may not otherwise gain opportunities for this type of extracurricular enrichment.
Students attend a complete series of Masterclasses, allowing them to experience a range of mathematical, engineering and computer science topics and develop their knowledge and understanding throughout the series.
Since students must be nominated by their schools, it is important to contact the school first to find out if they are, or have been, involved in Masterclasses nearby. If they have not been in contact with a local group, they are welcome to contact the Ri Masterclass team to find out about nearby availability.
View the maps of Primary Mathematics Masterclass series and Secondary Masterclass series in mathematics, engineering and computer science to see if Masterclasses run in your area.
If you are keen to nominate students but have not already been in contact with a local group, please email the Masterclass team at masterclasses@ri.ac.uk. Where possible, we will put you in contact with nearby organisers. Our networks are continually expanding, and new groups start each year.
Teachers in London can find out about upcoming Masterclasses in London, these take place in different locations throughout the year.
You may be interested in getting involved in the Masterclasses yourself as a helper or speaker, or in helping to organise a local series. If so, please get in touch.
You can visit our resources section for some masterclass-style activities to use in your own teaching.
The workshops were highly interactive, using everyday resources in exciting ways. The activities gave me lots of ideas on how I could improve my lessons in class.
Find out about upcoming Masterclasses in London and how to nominate students.
If you are close to London you may also be interested in attending some of our public events, such as our family masterclass-style workshops or our Summer Schools.

A radiographic measurement of left atrial size in dogs
Xavier Sánchez Salguero, David Prandi, Francisco Llabrés-DÍaz, Edgar Garcia Manzanilla, Claudio Bussadori
Department of Animal Medicine and Surgery
© 2018 The Author(s). Background: The dimensions of the left atrium in cases with mitral regurgitation are an indirect measurement of its severity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the value of a new radiographic measurement, the radiographic left atrial dimension (RLAD), for detecting left atrial enlargement (LAE) in dogs. Thirty one dogs without LAE and 46 dogs with LAE were recruited in a prospective fashion. Reference left atrium dimension was measured by standard left atrium to aorta ratio (LA/Ao) by 2D echocardiography. LAE was considered if LA/Ao > 1.6. Left atrium dimension was then quantified on lateral radiographs by measuring RLAD. Vertebral heart size (VHS) was measured and RLAD was obtained by drawing a line bisecting the 90 degrees angle defined by the long and short cardiac axes lines of the VHS, up to the dorsal edge of the left atrium and comparing its length to T4's vertebral body length. The correlation of VHS and RLAD methods with LA/Ao was estimated, as well as their sensitivity and specificity for detecting LAE. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were used to estimate the optimal decision criteria for each method. Results: A positive correlation was observed between RLAD and LA/Ao (r = 0.82). RLAD's sensitivity and specificity for detecting LAE when evaluated at the optimal cut-off value, 1.8 vertebrae, were 93.5 and 96.8% respectively. RLAD showed high reproducibility and repeatability. Conclusion: RLAD appears to be a clinically useful radiographic measurement for evaluating left atrial dimensions. RLAD would provide clinicians with a simple and cost-effective tool for evaluating and monitoring LAE.

N2 - © 2018 The Author(s). Background: The dimensions of the left atrium in cases with mitral regurgitation are an indirect measurement of its severity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the value of a new radiographic measurement, the radiographic left atrial dimension (RLAD), for detecting left atrial enlargement (LAE) in dogs. Thirty one dogs without LAE and 46 dogs with LAE were recruited in a prospective fashion. Reference left atrium dimension was measured by standard left atrium to aorta ratio (LA/Ao) by 2D echocardiography. LAE was considered if LA/Ao > 1.6. Left atrium dimension was then quantified on lateral radiographs by measuring RLAD. Vertebral heart size (VHS) was measured and RLAD was obtained by drawing a line bisecting the 90 degrees angle defined by the long and short cardiac axes lines of the VHS, up to the dorsal edge of the left atrium and comparing its length to T4's vertebral body length. The correlation of VHS and RLAD methods with LA/Ao was estimated, as well as their sensitivity and specificity for detecting LAE. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were used to estimate the optimal decision criteria for each method. Results: A positive correlation was observed between RLAD and LA/Ao (r = 0.82). RLAD's sensitivity and specificity for detecting LAE when evaluated at the optimal cut-off value, 1.8 vertebrae, were 93.5 and 96.8% respectively. RLAD showed high reproducibility and repeatability. Conclusion: RLAD appears to be a clinically useful radiographic measurement for evaluating left atrial dimensions. RLAD would provide clinicians with a simple and cost-effective tool for evaluating and monitoring LAE.

The Savage City by T.J. English
In his non-fiction historical narrative, The Savage City, journalist T.J. English writes about a far different New York City than the relatively calm city of today.
In the early 1960s, uncertainty and menace gripped New York, crystallizing in a poisonous divide between a deeply corrupt and cynical police force, and an African American community buffeted by economic distress, brutality, and narcotics. On August 28, 1963—the day Martin Luther King Jr. declared "I have a dream" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial—two young white women were murdered in their Manhattan apartment. Dubbed the Career Girls Murders case, the crime sent ripples of fear throughout the city, as police scrambled fruitlessly for months to find the killer. But it also marked the start of a ten-year saga of fear, racial violence, and turmoil in the city—an era that took in events from the Harlem Riots of the mid-1960s to the Panther Twenty-One trials and Knapp Commission police corruption hearings of the early 1970s.
The Savage City explores this pivotal and traumatic decade through the stories of three very different men:
• George Whitmore Jr., the near-blind, destitute nineteen-year-old black man who was coerced into confessing to the Career Girls Murders and several other crimes. Whitmore, an innocent man, would spend the decade in and out of the justice system, becoming a scapegoat for the NYPD—and a symbol of the inequities of the system.
• Bill Phillips, a brazenly crooked NYPD officer who spent years plundering the system before being caught in a corruption sting—and turning jaybird to create the largest scandal in the department's history.
• Dhoruba bin Wahad, a son of the Bronx and founding member of New York's Black Panther Party, whose militant activism would make him a target of local and federal law enforcement as conflicts between the Panthers and the police gradually devolved into open warfare.
Early reviews of The Savage City:
"A comprehensive, still-shocking exhumation of racial discord in America." – Kirkus
"English paints a vivid, gritty panorama of a city wracked by racial insurgency. . . . a gripping, noirish retrospective of an era when brutal misrule sparked desperate rage." -Publishers Weekly
"It's dripping with the kind of detail that's too good to make up." – Mother Jones

Research work and entrepreneurship are by no means mutually exclusive. There are numerous successful university spin-offs in the life sciences sector that prove this only too well. However, the road from a good idea to a commercially successful company can be long and arduous. Those who benefit from the support of their boss from the outset can consider themselves extremely fortunate. Prof. Dr. Hans-Georg Rammensee talks about his experience with companies that originated in his own department.

Research departments as centres of innovation are pretty much perfect for spinning out companies. However, not every eureka moment leads to a commercially viable product or method, nor does every researcher that comes up with an innovative product or method end up founding a company. There are many other factors that play a role in the decision to set up a company. A crucial factor is the support and motivation from colleagues and those in the researcher's immediate environment. This is where the boss, i.e. a professor or research director, can have considerable influence. It is definitely good to be surrounded by people open to start-up ideas. Immunologist Prof. Dr. Hans-Georg Rammensee from the Interfaculty Institute for Cell Biology (IFIZ) at the University of Tübingen is well aware of this.
With CureVac, Immatics Biotechnologies and SYNIMMUNE, Rammensee has already accompanied the establishment of three companies that were spun out from his department, and therefore has a tremendous amount of experience with start-ups. He finds it difficult to pinpoint a particular recipe for successful company establishment and emphasises that it is not something that can be learnt. He puts successful start-up establishment down to one major aspect. "You have to give young researchers who are looking to establish their own business the freedom and scope that they need to do so," said Rammensee. For him, this also involves dealing with the project from a professional point of view. "I think it is important to be positive when any of my staff tell me about their plans to set up a company, even though I might at first think that their idea is a bit odd," said Rammensee whose personal motto is encourage, support and critically accompany start-up plans. Rammensee is convinced that you "cannot induce an innovative spirit. All you can do is to actively support start-up plans".
No one-size-fits-all recipe for supporting start-up plans
One of the reasons why so many companies have been spun off from his department is possibly Rammensee's excellent instinct for selecting the right staff. "It is important to me that the people I hire are enthusiastic," Rammensee said. However, the reasons that led to the establishment of the three companies could not be more different. "As far as Immatics is concerned, company foundation kind of just happened," said Rammensee. "Back in the 1990s, our group was working on the purification of molecules, heat shock proteins for example, that we passed on to other research groups. As a scientist, that is just what you do. However, more and more groups were asking us to send them material to the extent that preparing and sending samples became a very time-consuming task. So the idea of establishing a business emerged," recalled Rammensee. The idea was eventually turned into a business with the support of the University of Tübingen and the Young Innovators funding programme run by the Baden-Württemberg government. Rammensee commented: "Some doctoral and post-doctoral students in my department started the business, but eventually changed the original idea to focus on developing cancer immunotherapies based on tumour-associated peptides."
The establishment of CureVac came about in a different way. Rammensee commented: "The initiative to set up a company was the deliberate decision of a very talented and ambitious doctoral student. He decided to set up a company after he had discovered that mRNA had the potential to be used as a therapeutic vaccine. And I gave him my full support." Today, CureVac's idea of developing mRNA-based drugs has become so successful that the company receives financial support from big investors such as dievini Hopp BioTech holding and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The founding team of SYNIMMUNE GmbH chose a completely different path from the two others. It all began with a successful GO-Bio application to the German Ministry of Education and Research's (BMBF) biotechnology start-up initiative. "Initially, the researchers decided to acquire funds for a research idea that was subsequently turned into a commercial product. SYNIMMUNE would not exist without this particular BMBF programme. It was a key impulse," said Rammensee.

In addition to the support Rammensee has given to the founders of the three companies, the University of Tübingen was also ready to back them. Rammensee believes that the university's contribution was very important. "The teams were able to continue working in the university's rooms and laboratories, which was extremely useful, especially at the very beginning." The start-ups eventually became increasingly independent and moved away from the university premises. However, Rammensee continued to provide advice, and is still doing so today. He supports all three companies as a member of their scientific advisory board, which, in the case of Immatics, he also chairs. The company founders have always been able to count on Rammensee's experience. Rammensee said that these activities do not take up an inordinate amount of his free time. "The advisory boards meet once a year. Otherwise, we usually meet and exchange scientific information at symposia and congresses. So I can easily combine it with my work as professor."
Patent versus publication – it all depends on how you deal with it
Rammensee also sees no problem as far as patents and publications are concerned. The companies can do both. "Of course, it is important to make young researchers aware of the fact that a patent cannot be obtained if the data were previously published. It is also important not to talk about the invention at conferences before the patent is filed." However, Rammensee does not really see the two issues as conflictual, at least not the way that things are done in Tübingen. "What we do here in Tübingen is fill out a medical faculty form and attach the manuscript of the planned publication. A little while later, in urgent cases around a fortnight, a patent application is underway and the publication can be submitted."
All three companies started off as GmbHs, i.e. limited liability companies, to which Rammensee also makes small financial contributions. "I have as little as a one-percent share in the companies. Although this is not much, my financial contributions were nevertheless helpful at the time the companies started off. Investors are usually more interested when a renowned professor is involved," said Rammensee, also saying that the financial support provided by public programmes is very good. "In principle, programmes run by the German state and federal governments create good start-up conditions. However, it would be even better if more venture capital was available, for example if Baden-Württemberg had an investment pool that enabled the regional government to provide venture capital."

Algebraic independence
A concept in the theory of field extensions (cf. Extension of a field). Let $ K $ be some extension of a field $ k $ . The elements $ b _{1} \dots b _{n} \in K $ are called algebraically independent over $ k $ if for each polynomial $ f (x _{1} \dots x _{n} ) $ with coefficients from $ k $ which is not identically equal to zero, $ f (b _{1} \dots b _{n} ) \neq 0 $ . Otherwise, the elements $ b _{1} \dots b _{n} $ are called algebraically dependent. An infinite set of elements is called algebraically independent if each one of its finite subsets is algebraically independent; otherwise it is called algebraically dependent. The definition of algebraic independence may be extended to the case where $ K $ is a ring, and $ k $ a subring [1].

Algebraic independence of numbers.
Complex numbers $ \alpha _{1} \dots \alpha _{n} $ are called algebraically independent if they are algebraically independent over the field of algebraic numbers, i.e. if for any polynomial $ P (x _{1} \dots x _{n} ) $ with algebraic coefficients, not all of which are zero, the relationship $ P ( \alpha _{1} \dots \alpha _{n} ) \neq 0 $ is valid. Otherwise, $ \alpha _{1} \dots \alpha _{n} $ are called algebraically dependent. The concept of algebraic independence of numbers is a generalization of the concept of transcendency of a number (the case $ n = 1 $ ). If several numbers are algebraically independent, each one of them is transcendental. It is usually very difficult to prove that given numbers are algebraically independent. The existing analytic methods of the theory of transcendental numbers give a solution of this problem for the values of certain classes of analytic functions. For instance, it was found that the values of the exponential function $ e ^{z} $ , the arguments of which are algebraic and linearly independent over the field of rational numbers, are algebraically independent. A similar result was obtained for Bessel functions (cf. Siegel method). Several general theorems were also established concerning algebraic independence of the values in algebraic points of $ E $ - functions which satisfy linear differential equations with coefficients from the field of rational functions [2], [3]. Algebraic independence has been proved for numbers $ \alpha ^ \beta $ and $ \alpha ^ {\beta ^{2}} $ , where $ \alpha \neq 0,\ 1 $ is an algebraic number and $ \beta $ is a cubic irrationality. A number of theorems have also been proved which deal with the algebraic non-expressibility of numbers; a concept close to that of algebraic independence.
It is possible to impart a quantitative facet to the qualitative concept of algebraic independence if the measure of algebraic independence (cf. Algebraic independence, measure of) of these numbers is considered. The analytic methods referred to above yield estimates from below for the measure of algebraic independence of certain classes of numbers. General theorems treating the estimation of the measure of algebraic independence of the values of $ E $ - functions have been established [3].

The above-mentioned theorem on the algebraic independence of the values of $ e ^{z} $ is known as the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem. Schanuel's conjecture, that the transcendence degree of $ \left\lbrace{x_1,\ldots,x_n,e^{x_1},\ldots,e^{x_n}}\right\rbrace$is $\ge n$ for any $x_1,\ldots,x_n \in \mathbb{C}$ linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$, is still (1986) unproved. An analogue of the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem for values of the Weierstrass $ ( x _{1} \dots x _{n} ,\ e ^ {x _{1}} \dots e ^ {x _{n}} ) \geq n $ - function has been proved recently [a1], [a2] by using Gel'fond–Schneider-type arguments and zero estimates for polynomials on algebraic group varieties. Another method in algebraic independence is Mahler's method for values of functions satisfying functional equations [a3].
