Q: C# referencing textbox from another class new at C# so be nice...
I am trying to send some text to a form textbox using the following code:
SettingsForm.cs
 namespace BluMote
 {
      public partial class SettingsForm : Form
      {
           public void send2Display(string whatWasSent)
           {
               this.rtbDisplay.Text = whatWasSent;
           }

           private void cmdOpen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
           {
               commToy.Parity = "None";
               commToy.StopBits = "One";
               commToy.DataBits = "8";
               commToy.BaudRate = "115000";
               commToy.PortName = "COM4";
               commToy.OpenPort();
           }
      .........
      }
 }

And i am (trying) calling it from another class like so:
namespace PCComm
{
    class CommunicationManager
    {
    #region OpenPort
    public bool OpenPort()
    {
        try
        {
            if (comPort.IsOpen == true) comPort.Close();
            comPort.BaudRate = int.Parse(_baudRate);
            comPort.DataBits = int.Parse(_dataBits);
            comPort.StopBits = (StopBits)Enum.Parse(typeof(StopBits), _stopBits);
            comPort.Parity = (Parity)Enum.Parse(typeof(Parity), _parity);
            comPort.PortName = _portName;
            comPort.Open();
            PCComm.frmMain form = new PCComm.frmMain();
            form.send2Display("test");
            return true;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            DisplayData(MessageType.Error, ex.Message);
            return false;
        }
    }
    #endregion
}
}

And "test" does not display in the textbox field
But as you can see, its not working... What am i missing?

A: send2Display is a method, you need to call it with a parameter, not assign to it.
BluMote.SettingsForm form = new BluMote.SettingsForm();
form.send2Display("test");

EDIT:
If you are calling the method from inside the SettingsForm class, then you don't need to create a new instance. Try:
this.send2Display("test");

EDIT Based on updated question:
The problem is that the form that you are creating in OpenPort() is not the one that is displayed on screen, so any updates to the textbox won't show on screen. Here are a few quick and dirty ways to remedy this:

*

*Pass a reference to the textbox into your method. I don't recommend this approach, because you will end up with view dependencies in your model.

*Return a string from OpenPort() and pass the return value to sendToDisplay.

*Define a property LastMessage of type string in CommunicationManager and assign to it in OpenPort(). Then read from it in SettingsForm and pass its value to sendToDisplay.

A: You have to have an instance of a form object to do that, like this:
BluMote.SettingsForm form = new BluMote.SettingsForm();
form.Show()
form.send2Display("test");

A: BluMote.SettingsForm.send2display = "test";

Should be:
BluMote.SettingsForm form = new BluMote.SettingsForm();
form.Show();
form.send2Display("test");

But this creates a new instance, probably not what you want. You want to change the text on the currently displayed form, so you need to pass the instance the method needs to act on into the OpenPort method:
namespace PCComm
{
    class CommunicationManager
    {
    #region OpenPort
    public bool OpenPort(BluMote.SettingsForm form)
    {
        try
        {
            if (comPort.IsOpen == true) comPort.Close();
            comPort.BaudRate = int.Parse(_baudRate);
            comPort.DataBits = int.Parse(_dataBits);
            comPort.StopBits = (StopBits)Enum.Parse(typeof(StopBits), _stopBits);
            comPort.Parity = (Parity)Enum.Parse(typeof(Parity), _parity);
            comPort.PortName = _portName;
            comPort.Open();
            //PCComm.frmMain form = new PCComm.frmMain();
            form.send2Display("test");
            return true;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            DisplayData(MessageType.Error, ex.Message);
            return false;
        }
    }
    #endregion
}
}

Then, somewhere in Form1 (like the load event), you'll want to instantiate the class dependent on it.
CommunicationManager comm = new CommunicationManager();
comm.OpenPort(this);

A: There are few issues in your code.

*

*Calling a method like a property.
BluMote.SettingsForm.send2display = "test"; // This is wrong

*Trying to access SettingsForm class members from another class like accessing static members.
First you have to parse SettingsForm instance to the 'Other Class'.
//In Other Class

private SettingsForm settingsForm;

// Get the instance as a parameter in Constructor (this is one of options)
public OtherClass(SettingsForm instanceOfSettingsForm)
{
    settingsForm = instanceOfSettingsForm;
}

//Now you can call send2Display method from OtherClass

settingsForm.send2Display("Test");

A: You might change the code below and see if it works:
public void send2Display(string whatWasSent)
{
     this.rtbDisplay.Text = whatWasSent;
     this.rtbDisplay.refresh();
}

Staffing companies and Human Resources departments pro-actively subscribe to secure job boards in order to locate qualified Candidates who have recently indicated that they are on the job market and seeking new opportunities. Managing access to these job boards and searching through their vast databases for the right prospective Candidates can be a challenging, time-consuming and burdensome endeavor. JobDiva enhances this process, adding value to the job boards' services while also helping recruiters keep pace with their company's hiring needs.
Using your existing subscriptions to job boards, the harvester program automates the searching and downloading of published Candidate records into your private company database, steps that recruiters and their sourcers would otherwise perform manually. Leveraging JobDiva's harvesters eliminates tedious data entry and helps recruiters focus solely on tasks that cannot be automated: getting to know Candidates to determine if they are a true fit, connecting them to interested hiring managers, helping them prepare for interviews.
More than any other Applicant Tracking System, JobDiva automates hunting, sourcing, data maintenance and the other tedious aspects of the recruiting workflow. Ideally, your recruiters shouldn't even notice that there is a workflow. As strong Candidates are automatically sourced then swiftly identified from among an abundance of Candidates, recruiters can concentrate exclusively on their most important work: building relationships, confirming the Candidate's interest and verifying their suitability for the role with person-to-person contact. This is how JobDiva recruiters beat the competition again and again. That's the JobDiva advantage.
Some companies waste time and money buying lists of professionals or scraping the web at large for people who may not even be looking for a change and don't want to be contacted. JobDiva minimizes those wasted communications by showing readily available Candidates instead. JobDiva also includes an opt-out link in every email merge sent to a Candidate, regardless of whether they entered your private resume database via harvesting, an application, or another method, so that if a Candidate isn't interested in progressing with your team, they can instantly opt-out of future mass emails. This helps your company focus attention on Candidates seriously looking to change jobs.
JobDiva's harvesters seek resumes that meet the recruiter's list of required skills for a particular job. JobDiva then parses the resumes and automatically adds them to your database as Candidate Records. JobDiva automates tedious manual search, data entry and maintenance. All recruiters need to know is that one click in JobDiva generates an instant list of matching Candidates that meet their job's criteria.
Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, JobDiva's harvesters work working silently in the background, intelligently considering what kind of Candidates your team is seeking and then importing them from your subscribed job boards for your company's exclusive use in your resume database. Don't wait for sourcers to scour the Internet for resumes. Don't mismanage recruiters' time by making them manually upload resumes into your system.
JobDiva's harvesters manage your job board accounts in the most intelligent manner while also helping grow your company's private database of qualified professionals. JobDiva also enables you to broaden and shift your subscription to job boards without burdening your recruiters.
Recruiters are no longer forced to wade into the Internet for each new requirement. That method inevitably results in repeat views of the same Candidate. Also, looking at each resume in isolation fails to leverage your colleagues' information about that Candidate. Using JobDiva, your recruiters will easily be able to view all historical data related to the Candidate's profile, as well as add new notes and track all associated screening activities. When a new resume for the same Candidate is added to your private database, their record in your database comes to life, enriched with both historical and new, aggregated information.
JobDiva also provides detailed metrics of a job board's results. If you're not sure which job board is yielding the best ROI for your company's practice, the reporting tools built into JobDiva will help you analyze each board's efficacy. No more guessing or human bias. You'll now be able to use hard data to decide how much you want to invest in a job board.
JobDiva's harvesters supplement your company's private database of skilled Candidates with virtually no effort on your part. In this way, JobDiva helps recruiters pull Candidates so they can generate call lists and email merge lists of qualified, available Candidates.

Watch the Video for Bassist Fumi Tomita's "Dancing Dwarf"
May 8, 2019 By Sébastien Hélary
Bassist and composer Fumi Tomita has been active on the New York jazz scene for over 15 years with notable appearances alongside Sheila Jordan, Christian Sands, Luis Perdomo, Dave Liebman, and Steve Wilson, among others. He is currently the Assistant Professor of Jazz at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. On April 19th, Tomita released his third album as leader entitled The Elephant Vanishes: Jazz Interpretations of the Short Stories of Haruki Murakami on Origin Records. The album features an inspired quintet comprised of Jason Rigby on saxophone, Mike Baggetta on guitar, Art Hirahara on keys, and Mark Micklethwaite on drums.
As the title states, the compositions from The Elephant Vanishes were inspired by a collection of short stories of the same name written by Japanese author Haruki Murakami drawing upon themes of despair, loneliness, disconnection, and self-discovery. The literary themes of each story are transformed into musical ones through Tomita's picturesque and vivid compositions. The result is a mature, cerebral and vibrant brainchild which exudes respect and devotion to its muse. The Elephant Vanishes is a subtle yet powerful effort which conveys humility and patience putting the music ahead of any unnecessary bravado.
You can watch the video for Tomita's take on "Dancing Dwarf" below, a story about a man who works at a factory manufacturing elephants and dreams of a dancing dwarf, then hears the dwarf existed and danced for the king prior to the revolution. In a subsequent dream, he makes a pact with the dwarf to win the heart of a beautiful girl at the factory dance. Tomita and his quintet will be playing their album release show tonight, May 8th, at Nublu Classic in NYC.
The Elephant Vanishes: Jazz Interpretations of the Short Stories of Haruki Murakami, the new album by bassist and composer Fumi Tomita, is out now on Origin Records.

The Akshaya Patra Foundation, the world's largest NGO-run midday meal program, has launched Gifts For Moms, Smiles For Children, a Mother's Day Campaign that pays tribute to Mothers worldwide.
$28 is a wonderful gift on behalf of a mother that a donor wishes to honor. A child somewhere will smile!
It costs Akshaya Patra $28 to feed a child daily for the entire school year. Donors to the campaign contribute $28 to Akshaya Patra for each Mother they wish to honor. In areas where the Indian government provides a subsidy, $28 can actually feed two children. Once someone has donated, they can either choose for Akshaya Patra to send an email about their gift to the Mother they are honoring, or they can print out a Mother's Day letter from Akshaya Patra to place in a card.

How T-Mobile USA CEO John Legere is changing the CEO game
Published Sun, Jan 22 20179:00 PM EST Updated Sun, Jan 22 20179:30 PM EST
Jon Fortt@jonfortt
How's this for authenticity: T-Mobile USA CEO John Legere has no qualms about dropping an 'F'-bomb right in the middle of a press conference.He's been taunting his rivals on Twitter long before that became the new standard in diplomacy.
More important than all of that, Legere is growing the rolls at the third-largest U.S. wireless carrier at a dizzying clip. T-Mobile added 2.3 million subscribers in the first nine months of last year. AT&T and Verizon might be bigger, but T-Mobile is bold, scrappy, and changing the rules of the game.
That's why Fortt Knox sat down with Legere to talk about how he decided to be a different kind of CEO, and why.
'Colorful nature and antics'
"The trick for me is, I really believe that I act, behave, and speak the same way my customers do. I say what they think on behalf of them," Legere told Fortt Knox. "If you look, most of my colorful nature and antics is to drive change that benefits customers."
The latest change T-Mobile is driving: Simpler phone bills. At the Consumer Electronics Show, Legere held a press conference to promote T-Mobile's vision, and call out competitors who he argued are overcharging.
As always, Fortt Knox tried to tease out a few lessons the rest of us can apply to our careers:
Prepare to Switch Gears
Donald Trump's "got game. I tell you... he is ignoring norms that I ignored as a CEO
John Legere
CEO, T-Mobile
Legere grew up in Fitchburg, Mass., one of five brothers and sisters. The family didn't have a lot of money. He threw himself into sports, and had zero dreams of running a phone company.
"I wanted to be a foot doctor. I have no idea why. I was a runner. I thought that would be a great idea," he said. "I know when I was young, the last thing I wanted to be was an executive."
After a series of corporate jobs, Legere ended up in charge at T-Mobile, a company that needed attention and a turnaround. "Ultimately in this job, I was able to be who I am, and it worked."
Game Recognizes Game
Another guy who achieved success by being himself and ditching convention? The newly inaugurated President of the United States, Donald Trump. (The president also knows his way around Twitter.) Lessons from Trump's electoral victory don't escape Legere.
"He's got game," Legere told Fortt Knox. "I tell you... he is ignoring norms that I ignored as a CEO," he added.
"When I first came in, I remember our legal departments were like 'You don't do …' and he just keeps moving past 'don't do.' The reach and the breadth of what he's able to do – I don't know where it goes, but he's got game," Legere said.
Engage your creativity
Legere is on social media—a lot. Which might seem strange, until you consider the fact that he's the CEO of a company that's selling mobile Internet service, and social media and video are the main drivers of demand for his product.
"Slow Cooker Sunday" is literally a live online show Legere does on Facebook on Sundays, where he makes something in a slow cooker.
Don't laugh: the January 15 episode got more than half a million views.
"It may sound crazy, and this is why I know so much of what I do as a CEO the other guys aren't going to do – I use social media," he said. "I have hashtag #ShoppingSaturday. I use Instagram and I use Facebook when I go shopping on Saturday to buy the ingredients for Slow Cooker Sunday."
Legere is unconventional. Yet there's a strategy behind all of it.

The main advantage to a fixed rate mortgage is stability. Since the interest rate remains the same over the entire course of the loan, your monthly payment is predictable. You can count on your monthly mortgage payment to be the same amount each month. On the minus side, because the lending institution gives up the chance to raise interest rates if the general interest rates rise, the interest on a fixed rate mortgage is likely to be higher than that of an adjustable rate mortgage.
A fixed rate mortgage loan makes the most sense for those that are going to settle into their home for many years. While the initial payments may be larger than with an adjustable rate mortgage, stretching the payments over a longer period of time can minimize the effect on your budget.
An adjustable rate is one that is adjusted periodically to take into account the rise or fall of standard interest rates. Generally, the adjustable term is annual - in other words, once a year the lending company has the right to adjust the interest rate on your mortgage in accordance with a chosen index. While adjustable rate mortgages make the most sense in a situation where interest rates are dropping, though it's dangerous to count on a continued drop in interest rates.
Lenders often offer adjustable rate mortgages with a very low first year 'teaser' interest rate. After the first year, though, the interest rate on your mortgage can increase by leaps and bounds. Even so, there are limits to how much an adjustable rate can actually adjust. This is dependent on the index chosen and the terms of the loan to which you agree. You may accept a loan with a 2.3% one year adjustable rate, for instance, that becomes a 4.1% adjustable rate mortgage on the first adjustment period.
Finally, there's a new kind of loan in town. A hybrid between adjustable rate mortgages and fixed rate mortgages, they're known as 'delayed adjustable' mortgages. Essentially, you lock in a fixed rate of interest for a number of years - say 3 or 7 or 10. At the end of that period, the loan becomes a 1 year adjustable rate mortgage according to terms set out in the agreement you sign with the mortgage or financial institution.

Scientists Say The Earth Is Humming
Posted on Jun 29th 2008 by Administrator.
Not just noise, but a deep, astonishing music. Can you hear it?
By Mark Morford – SF Gate Columnist
This is the kind of thing we forget.
This is the kind of thing that, given all our distractions, our celeb obsessions and happy drugs and bothersome trifles like family and bills and war and health care and sex and love and porn and breathing and death, tends to fly under the radar of your overspanked consciousness, only to be later rediscovered and brought forth and placed directly in front of your eyeballs, at least for a moment, so you can look, really look, and go, oh my God, I had no idea.
The Earth is humming. Singing. Churning out a tune without the aid of battery or string or wind-up mechanism and its song is ethereal and mystifying and very, very weird, a rather astonishing, newly discovered phenomena that's not easily analyzed, but which, if you really let it sink into your consciousness, can change the way you look at everything.
Indeed, scientists now say the planet itself is generating a constant, deep thrum of noise. No mere cacophony, but actually a kind of music, huge, swirling loops of sound, a song so strange you can't really fathom it, so low it can't be heard by human ears, chthonic roars churning from the very water and wind and rock themselves, countless notes of varying vibration creating all sorts of curious tonal phrases that bounce around the mountains and spin over the oceans and penetrate the tectonic plates and gurgle in the magma and careen off the clouds and smack into trees and bounce off your ribcage and spin over the surface of the planet in strange circular loops, "like dozens of lazy hurricanes," as one writer put it.
It all makes for a very quiet, otherworldly symphony so odd and mysterious, scientists still can't figure out exactly what's causing it or why the hell it's happening. Sure, sensitive instruments are getting better at picking up what's been dubbed "Earth's hum," but no one's any closer to understanding what the hell it all might mean. Which, of course, is exactly as it should be.
Because then, well, then you get to crank up your imagination, your mystical intuition, your poetic sensibility – and if there's one thing we're lacking in modern America, it's … well, you know.
Me, I like to think of the Earth as essentially a giant Tibetan singing bowl, flicked by the middle finger of God and set to a mesmerizing, low ring for about 10 billion years until the tone begins to fade and the vibration slows and eventually the sound completely disappears into nothingness and the birds are all, hey what the hell happened to the music? And God just shrugs and goes, well that was interesting.
Or maybe the planet is more like an enormous wine glass, half full of a heady potion made of horny unicorns and divine lubricant and perky sunshine, around the smooth, gleaming rim of which Dionysus himself circles his wet fingertip, generating a mellifluous tone that makes the wood nymphs dance and the satyrs orgasm and the gods hum along as they all watch 7 billion confused human ants scamper about with their lattes and their war and their perpetually adorable angst, oblivious.
But most of all, I believe the Earth actually (and obviously) resonates, quite literally, with the Hindu belief in the divine sound of OM (or more accurately, AUM), that single, universal syllable that contains and encompasses all: birth and death, creation and destruction, being and nothingness, rock and roll, Christian and pagan, meat and vegetable, spit and swallow. You know?
But here's the best part: This massive wave of sound? The Earth's deep, mysterious OM, it's perpetual hum of song? Totally normal – that is, if by "normal" you mean "unfathomably powerful and speaking to a vast mystical timelessness we can't possibly comprehend."
Indeed, all the spheres do it, all the planets and all the quasars and stars and moons and whirlpool galaxies, all vibrating and humming like a chorus of wayward deities singing sea shanties in a black hole. It's nothing new, really: Mystics and poets and theorists have pondered the "music of the spheres" (or musica universalis) for eons; it is the stuff of cosmic philosophy, linking sacred geometry, mathematics, cosmology, harmonics, astrology and music into one big cosmological poetry slam.
Translation: You don't have to look very far to understand that human beings – hell, all animals, really – adore song and music and tone and rhythm, and then link this everyday source of life straight to the roar of the planet itself, and then back out to the cosmos.
In other words, you love loud punk? Metal? Jazz? Deep house? Saint-Saens with a glass of Pinot in the tub? Sure you do. That's because somewhere, somehow, deep in your very cells and bones and DNA, it links you back to source, to the Earth's own vibration, the pulse of the cosmos. Oh yes it does. To tap your foot and sway your body to that weird new Portishead tune is, in effect, to sway it to the roar of the universe. I mean, obviously.
At some point we'll probably figure it all out. Science will, with its typical charming, arrogant certainty, sift and measure and quantify this "mystical" Earthly hum, and tell us it merely comes from, say, ocean movements, or solar wind, or 10 billion trees all deciding to grow a quarter millimeter all at once. We will do as we always do: oversimplify, peer through a single lens of understanding, stick this dazzling phenomenon in a narrow category, and forget it.
How dangerously boring. I much prefer, in matters mystical and musical and deeply cosmic, to tell the logical mind to shut up and let the soul take over and say, wait wait wait, maybe most humans have this divine connection thing all wrong. Maybe God really isn't some scowling gay-hating deity raining down guilt and judgment and fear on all humankind after all.
Maybe she's actually, you know, a throb, a pulse, a song, deep, complex, eternal. And us, well, we're just bouncing and swaying along as best we can, trying to figure out the goddamn melody.

Milk on Trial as Cornell Expert Testifies at Fired Teacher's Hearing
Published by CommonDreams.org – Written by Martha Rosenberg
The life expectancy of National Football League players might have as much to do with teaching art as the factory farming fired middle school teacher Dave Warwak is accused of teaching.
But it formed the backbone of Cornell University Professor Emeritus Dr. T. Colin Campbell's testimony at the Board of Education hearing into the middle school teacher's dismissal in Fox River Grove, IL, population 5,000, in April.
NFL players are only expected to live to 56 because "they are dying of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and diet related illnesses," testified Campbell in defense of Warwak's classroom charge that animal foods will shorten lives.
Campbell, Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry, is author, with son Thomas M. Campbell II, of the 2005 nutrition bestseller, The China Study, which links premature death and many diseases to diet and was called the "Grand Prix of Epidemiology" by the New York Times.
After reading The China Study, the Kansas City Chiefs' Tony Gonzalez dropped animal products from his diet. testified Campbell, and "this past season he broke the all-time record for the most catches, the most touchdown passes and the most yards gained of any NFL tight end in the history of the National Football League."
The China Study also converted Minnesota Twins pitcher Pat Neshek to an animal free diet says a June ESPN report which also cites vegan diets of Detroit Lion Desmond Howard, Miami Dolphin Ricky Williams, former St. Louis Ram D'Marco Farr, Milwaukee Brewer Prince Fielder and Atlanta Hawk Salim Stoudamire.
Forty-five year old middle school art teacher Dave Warwak was dismissed last fall from the District 3 school system where he had taught for eight years for, "turning his classroom into a forum on veganism," abandoning the art curriculum and asking students to keep it a secret from their parents according to school board documents.
What began as a simple be-kind-to-animals project approved by administrators who even participated–marshmallow Easter "Peeps" were made into "pets" to be cared for–got out of hand when Warwak put the "pets" in cages, pots and pans and between slices of bread.
"The problem was when it turned into a PETA advertisement and it was against the school lunch program," testified Fox River Grove Middle School Principal Tim Mahaffy at the Illinois Board of Education's three day closed hearings into Warwak's dismissal conducted at the Fox River Grove City Hall in April.
Despite hearing officer Barry Simon's repeated admonishments that the case was not about whether veganism, "is right or wrong or good or bad," feeding children animal products was the 300 pound Peep in the room as Warwak, acting pro se, questioned Mahaffy.
Q: Would you say the school lunch goes against humane education?
A: I disagree. I don't see the connection.
Q: The humane education says be nice to all things; the school lunch says, well, not animals?
Robert E. Riley (counsel for District 3): Objection. Arguing with the witness.
Q: Does the school promote meat and dairy one-sided or do they allow other viewpoints on it?
A: The school is committed to following both the State and federal guidelines for serving school lunches.
Of course Fox River Grove Middle School is paid to be one-sided.
Like 45,000 other public middle and high schools in the US and 60,000 elementary schools, it only receives reimbursement from the National School Lunch Program when it pushes milk and life-size Milk Mustache and "Body By Milk" posters adorn lunchroom walls.
This is the program that served children downer dairy cows, at risk for mad cow disease, until the January recall of Hallmark beef, observes Warwak in a recent memoir about his termination, Peep Show For Children Only, found on lulu.com.
Yet the pro dairy message on the school posters–which feature sports figures and popular musicians and arrive unsolicited from the National Dairy Council–is misleading and harmful testified Dr. T. Colin Campbell on the basis of decades of his National Institutes of Health-funded research.
"The consumption of dairy, especially at the younger ages, is a problem," said Campbell which includes health consequences like higher risks of prostate, uterine, breast and endometrial cancers, osteoporosis and a "threefold higher risk of colon cancer."
The health promises about strong bones and healthy bodies on the posters are written by a USDA dietary committee, said Campbell, whose members were found by a court to have conflicts of interests after refusing a Freedom of Information request.
"Six of the eleven members of the committee including the chair had an association with the dairy industry," said Campbell. "And the chair himself had taken more money without telling the public about it than he was allowed under the law."
The animal rich diet the Fox River Grove's District 3 defends to the point of firing a tenured teacher might mean kids won't live longer than the sports heroes they admire, summarized Campbell.
Arbitrator Simon has yet to make a ruling about Warwak–or the posters.
Martha Rosenberg is a cartoonist for the Evanston Roundtable in Evanston, Illinois.

Mobile phones 'more dangerous than smoking'
Brain expert warns of huge rise in tumours and calls on industry to take immediate steps to reduce radiation
By Geoffrey Lean
Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure to their radiation.
The study, by Dr Vini Khurana, is the most devastating indictment yet published of the health risks.
It draws on growing evidence – exclusively reported in the IoS in October – that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop, invalidating official safety assurances based on earlier studies which included few, if any, people who had used the phones for that long.
Earlier this year, the French government warned against the use of mobile phones, especially by children. Germany also advises its people to minimise handset use, and the European Environment Agency has called for exposures to be reduced.
Professor Khurana – a top neurosurgeon who has received 14 awards over the past 16 years, has published more than three dozen scientific papers – reviewed more than 100 studies on the effects of mobile phones. He has put the results on a brain surgery website, and a paper based on the research is currently being peer-reviewed for publication in a scientific journal.
He admits that mobiles can save lives in emergencies, but concludes that "there is a significant and increasing body of evidence for a link between mobile phone usage and certain brain tumours". He believes this will be "definitively proven" in the next decade.
Noting that malignant brain tumours represent "a life-ending diagnosis", he adds: "We are currently experiencing a reactively unchecked and dangerous situation." He fears that "unless the industry and governments take immediate and decisive steps", the incidence of malignant brain tumours and associated death rate will be observed to rise globally within a decade from now, by which time it may be far too late to intervene medically.
"It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications than asbestos and smoking," says Professor Khurana, who told the IoS his assessment is partly based on the fact that three billion people now use the phones worldwide, three times as many as smoke. Smoking kills some five million worldwide each year, and exposure to asbestos is responsible for as many deaths in Britain as road accidents.
Late last week, the Mobile Operators Association dismissed Khurana's study as "a selective discussion of scientific literature by one individual". It believes he "does not present a balanced analysis" of the published science, and "reaches opposite conclusions to the WHO and more than 30 other independent expert scientific reviews".

Nowouralsk () ist eine geschlossene Stadt in der Oblast Swerdlowsk (Russland) mit  Einwohnern (Stand ).

Geographie
Nowouralsk befindet sich im Süden der Oblast Swerdlowsk auf der asiatischen Seite des Uralgebirges, westlich der älteren Siedlung Werch-Neiwinski, 67 km nordwestlich der Gebietshauptstadt Jekaterinburg. Die nächstgelegenen Städte sind Werchni Tagil (17 km nordwestlich von Nowouralsk) und Kirowgrad (20 km nördlich).

Die Stadt liegt an den Flüssen Olchowka und Bunarka aus dem Flusssystem des Ob.

Geschichte
Nowouralsk entstand im Jahre 1941 als Industriekomplex beim Bau einer Fabrik für leichte Legierungen. Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurde eine Flugzeugfabrik aus dem europäischen Teil der Sowjetunion hierher evakuiert.

1946 begann in Nowouralsk der Bau einer Fabrik zur Produktion von hochangereichertem Uran für Atomwaffen. Somit wurde Nowouralsk wichtiges Zentrum der Nuklearindustrie im Ural. Aufgrund derer hohen strategischen Bedeutung wurde es zu einer geschlossenen Stadt erklärt und mit dem Codenamen Swerdlowsk-44 versehen, der noch bis 1994 verwendet wurde.

Die Fabrik wurde als Uraler Elektrochemisches Kombinat 1949 in Betrieb genommen.

Diese Anlage ist auch nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion weiter aktiv, sodass Nowouralsk bis heute den Status einer geschlossenen Stadt besitzt. Das Betreten des Stadtgebietes ist aus diesem Grund nur mit einem speziellen Passierschein möglich.

Wirtschaft
Den Kern der Industrie von Nowouralsk bildet das Uraler Elektrochemische Kombinat, eine Tochter des staatlichen TWEL-Konzerns, zur Herstellung von hochangereichertem Uran. Das Uraler Elektrochemische Kombinat ist die weltgrößte Urananreicherungsanlage, die sich in Betrieb befindet (Stand: 2021). Das Maschinenbau-Unternehmen Zentrotech gehört ebenfalls zu TWEL und produziert neben Gaszentrifugen auch Produkte außerhalb des nuklearen Kerngeschäftsbereichs wie Messinstrumente, wiederaufladbare Batterien, Bohrschlammaufbereitungsanlagen und Metallpulver. Weitere bedeutende Betriebe sind die Lkw-Motorenfabrik AMUR, die Bootsfabrik VIZA-Yacht und die Fensterfabrik Nowouralski DOK.

Oakland's City Hall sticks out like a sore thumb. The rectangular building, a beautiful pearl, is surrounded by the sounds of construction in a gentrifying city.
Pigeons fly above me as the nearby construction sounds pause. I hear their wings flapping against their bodies.
On the amphitheater steps outside of city hall, the circle is divided in two: a shady part and a part in the sun. The shade comes from the official Oakland oak tree. This is the plaza where Occupy camped in the autumn of 2011, demanding an end to police brutality and economic policies that disadvantage the poor and working class. Some people now refer to it as "Oscar Grant Plaza," to honor the African American man who was shot and killed by a BART police officer in the Fruitvale just two years before. But today, a young couple, dog walkers, passersby and homeless people occupy the area.
One woman wearing a hoodie tries to open the door to city hall, but is unsuccessful. A man sits on the wheelchair ramp as he changes his phone in a random outlet. He wears all black: black hat, black pants, black mismatched shoes. One has a white stripe and the other a red stripe.
A couple sits next to me. The woman has a short fairy cut, almost like the one Tinkerbell has in Peter Pan. The man boasts a heavy head of scraggly curly hair. Their pale skin glows in the sun, and as the woman rests her head on the man's shoulder, she hums a melody. She smiles, wrapping her hands tight around his bicep.
Seeing them makes me think of love. How many people have been approved to be married here at this hall? Will the couple next to me get married?
Valentine's Day is coming, and I'm bummed, my plans for romance dashed. Another woman sits in the shade. How can a place be so hot and cold at the same time?
In the most crowded section of the park, a group of people gather on the sun-soaked benches speaking loudly, almost like this is a common meeting ground.
There is a bird on the grass with a broken wing. An African American woman with a bandana tells another woman walking her dog to be careful. "Watch your dog, there was a bird with a broken wing there earlier!" she yells.
The strong smell of weed takes over.
A gardener with a leaf blower cleans the perimeter of the park.
A T-Pain song starts to play from one of the speaker held by a homeless man: "I got money in the bank." The group of men sitting on the benches start singing along. They smell strongly of alcohol, and the empty Hennessy bottle lying in proximity to them explains why.
The woman with the bandana refers to another woman as "Tupac." Tupac wears no shoes, and she walks with her stomach as far out as she can. She holds yellow flowers. She resembles someone learning to walk as her steps are steady, calculated to make sure not to lose balance.
The woman yells for another person: "Dwight!" she yells, but he can't hear her.
"I got money in bank" continues.
A man with a skull cap on calls for a man named Bobby. He walks by, reeking of alcohol. Then he calls for a man named Douglas.
Tupac keeps saying that that Douglas is smoking weed.
"That ain't no weed, that's grass," says the lady in the bandana.
The woman with the bandana yells at Tupac, who has taken off her pants. "That's so disrespectful. Put your pants on," she says.
Douglas begins smoking on the bench next to me. It is, in fact, weed.
A woman with red nail polish who has been sitting next to the bandana lady walks away.
"See you later baby, love you!" says the woman in the bandana.
"Love you, too!" says the woman with the nail polish.

Jason Donovan (* 1. Juni 1968 in Malvern, Melbourne) ist ein australischer Sänger und Schauspieler. Er wurde Ende der 1980er-Jahre durch die australische Fernsehserie Nachbarn bekannt und begann daraufhin eine Karriere als Popsänger, die ihn mit Liedern wie Especially for You (im Duett mit Kylie Minogue) oder Sealed with a Kiss zum internationalen Teenager-Star machte.

Biografie
An der Seite von unter anderem Kylie Minogue und Natalie Imbruglia spielte er in den späten 1980er Jahren die Rolle des Scott Robinson in der australischen Seifenoper Nachbarn (Neighbours). Dadurch erlangte er die Aufmerksamkeit des erfolgreichen Produzententrios Stock Aitken Waterman, das ihn engagierte und zu einem erfolgreichen Popstar machte. Zusammen mit Minogue nahm er den Welthit Especially for You auf. Die darauf folgenden Stock-Aitken-Waterman-Produktionen waren alle erfolgreich und erreichten vor allem in Großbritannien und Australien Spitzenpositionen: Zwischen Mitte 1988 und Sommer 1991 veröffentlichte Donovan 14 Hitsingles. In Deutschland waren vor allem Especially for You, Sealed with a Kiss und Too Many Broken Hearts aus dem Jahr 1989 erfolgreich.

Ende der 1980er Jahre war Donovan der erfolgreichste Sänger in Europa, landete mehrere Nummer-eins-Hits in den UK-Charts und fünf Nummer-eins-Hits in Folge in Irland.

Nachdem er Stock Aitken Waterman verlassen hatte, spielte Donovan die Hauptrolle im Musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat und erreichte mit dem daraus stammenden Lied Any Dream Will Do zum letzten Mal die Spitzenposition in den UK-Charts. 1998 spielte er die Rolle des Frank'n'Furter in der Rocky Horror Show, zunächst in Perth und anschließend in London. Musikalisch wurde es ab 1993 stiller um ihn. Vor allem Drogenprobleme und ein Prozess gegen die Zeitschrift The Face wegen seiner angeblichen Homosexualität machten Schlagzeilen.

Eine Filmrolle in dem britischen Thriller Sorted folgte. Zur gleichen Zeit wurde die Beziehung zu Angela Malloch öffentlich, mit der er bereits während der Zeit der Rocky Horror Show liiert war. Sie erwarteten ihr gemeinsames Baby. Ihre Tochter Jemma kam 2000 zur Welt, ein Jahr später ihr gemeinsamer Sohn Zac. 2008 heiratete das Paar, 2011 kam Tochter Molly zur Welt.

Weitere Filmrollen folgten, u. a. in Ned und Loot. Zurück in Melbourne spielte er des Weiteren in der australischen ABC-Arztserie MDA ("Medical Defences Australia"). 2004 und 2005 kehrte Jason nach Jahren an das London Palladium zurück. Er spielte die Hauptrolle des Caractacus Potts in dem Familienmusical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. 2006 tourte Jason mit dem Musical Sweeney Todd quer durch Großbritannien, bevor er im Sommer in Melbourne in dem Drama Festen ("Das Fest") des englischen Dramatikers David Eldridge auf der Bühne stand. Am Jahresende war er einer der Kandidaten der britischen Fernsehshow I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, bei der er den dritten Platz belegte.

Im Mai 2007 war Donovan erfolgreich mit seiner All the Hits and More Tour in Großbritannien unterwegs. Im Monat darauf veröffentlichte er seine neue Single Share My World. Im Sommer stand er für die Serie Echo Beach in Cornwall vor der Kamera, die im Frühjahr 2008 im britischen Fernsehen auf ITV gezeigt wurde. Am 1. Oktober 2007 veröffentlichte er seine Autobiografie, in der er offen über seine Jugendliebe zu Kylie Minogue berichtete, wie auch über seinen Prozess 1992 gegen das Magazin "Face" und seine Drogenexzesse in den 1990er Jahren.

Seit dem 6. April 2008 moderiert er wöchentlich die Radiosendung Sunday Nights, die auf vielen örtlichen Frequenzen in Großbritannien ausgestrahlt wird. Seit März 2009 spielt er die Rolle des Tick in dem Musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert im Palace Theatre in London. Das Musical basiert auf dem australischen Film Priscilla – Königin der Wüste aus dem Jahr 1994.

2011 tourte Donovan mit Jeff Wayne und anderen Darstellern für die Liveshow Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds – Alive on Stage durch England, wo er die Rolle des Artilleristen übernahm.
2012–2013 beteiligte er sich erneut bei der Musicalaufführung in England und Europa, spielte diesmal aber die Rolle des Parson Nathaniel. Im September 2018 standen Kylie Minogue und Jason Donovan in London wieder gemeinsam auf der Bühne.

Seit 2008 ist Donovan mit Angela Malloch verheiratet und hat drei Kinder.

With two major design tours coming to LEAFHouse this fall (DesignDC - 9/25 and Greenbuild – 11/21), the board of the Potomac Valley Architecture Foundation (PVAF) has launched a much-needed exterior envelope renovation. A few years ago, foundation and chapter members visiting LEAFHouse began noticing problems with the building envelope, notably siding panels that were cracked, checked, and warped, especially on the southern exposure, some to the point of having cupped as much as an inch or more. Further investigation revealed an air gap issue that prevented the back of the cypress wood siding from drying out properly in some areas.
The replacement of the building's siding is underway, after much research and discussion, and should be completed within a few weeks. The Board chose to use a new siding material formed from compressed recycled ash in lieu of wood siding. In addition to more than 70% recycled content, this product from Boral is said to be far more resistant than wood to warping, rotting and insects. After painting, the profile will be almost identical to the original cypress panels.
LEAFHouse is allowing us to make upgrades that we believe are not only cutting-edge today but will be sustainable for years to come.

Brian Casey, with wife Beverly, with his pair of eSight specs.
A Fleetwood man who became the first person in Britain and Europe to trial groundbreaking visual aid technology has now got his own pair of the "life-changing" specs.
Brian Casey who lives off Poulton Road, thought he would never see again after losing his sight nearly 27 years ago.
But thanks to eSight, which he tested in London in February, he managed to look upon his wife Beverly's face for the first time.
But the specs, which can help some unsighted people but not others, are not cheap and cost around £10,000 a set. However, Brian was able to get a pair, and use them both at work and at home, after AKS School in St Annes staged a fund-raiser and raised £7,000.

Things to consider for the successful Enforcement of Arbitral Awards
AuthorGonzalo Butori
Alternative dispute resolution via arbitration is nearly always the best initiative when resolving a dispute, as opposed to litigation, enabling a swifter, confidential and generally more cost-effective method of resolution. Once a party obtains an award they are then faced with the prospect of enforcement. With the right legal advisors, it may prove to be less challenging than expected.
International arbitration has a comprehensive enforcement framework that facilitates the recognition and enforcement of awards made in a foreign seat. In fact, under the New York Convention, a signatory state can recognise and enforce in its territory arbitral awards issued by another contracting state.
The UK, together with over 170 other countries, has ratified the New York Convention enabling the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards (see sections 100 to 104 of the Arbitration Act 1996) It is a reasonable conclusion to make that the arbitration route and subsequent enforcement under the New York Convention is likely to be a far better course of action in consideration of the fact that the UK has far fewer agreements involving the mutual recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
Gonzalo Butori, a partner, commented "nevertheless, even the enforcement of international arbitral awards through the New York Convention is not always so straightforward and may sometimes entail practical problems. When embarking on arbitration there are a number of important aspects that should be considered and a number of steps that can be taken to increase the chances of the successful enforcement of an international award should enforcement issues arise"
The location of the assets should be carefully considered
The chances of successful enforcement of the foreign award should significantly increase if the award is issued in a state that has ratified the New York Convention and if the assets of the losing party are also present in the territory of the same state. In this situation, enforcement should theoretically be a straightforward process. Therefore, when negotiating an arbitration agreement prior to doing business and throughout the arbitration, it is of the utmost importance to consider the location of your counterparties' assets. If the assets are not located in a state that is a signatory to the New York Convention, enforcement may be more challenging.
Insolvency of the respondent
It is obviously harder to enforce a foreign award against an insolvent respondent. The claimant will not have priority over secured creditors and preferential payments, such as costs associated with winding up the business, and will also rank among other unsecured creditors. If such conditions exist, an award becomes de facto unenforceable since it is improbable that the claimant will obtain the value of the entire award. In reality, they could get nothing at all. Therefore, determining early on whether the respondent will have the financial means to comply with any award in the event that the claim is successful is essential and can prevent a waste of time and money.
The appointment of receivers may be of help
Section 44 of the Arbitration Act 1996 gives the courts in English & Wales the authority to order the appointment of receivers. This has the potential to be very useful in preventing the dissipation of available assets and therefore helping the enforcement of an award.
Seeking freezing injunctions to facilitate the enforcement may also assist
A party who wants to ensure that the losing party has enough assets to comply with an award and who wants to stop those assets from being dissipated or spent, should consider getting a freezing injunction early on in the litigation. It is important to note that although a freezing injunction application is frequently brought before the issuing of the award, the court also grant a freezing order after the issuing of the award to facilitate enforcement.
Being aware of the public policy defence under the New York Convention may be crucial
Usually, the court will proceed to enforce a valid, final, and binding award unless the losing party decides to challenge it invoking one of the defences that are available against enforcement.
Under the New York Convention, public policy is one of the bases on which the losing party may be able to resist the enforcement of an award and it is also the most typical ground on which the enforcement can be refused. Trying to define public policy is difficult as this concept is vague and not defined in the New York Convention. Moreover, what constitutes public policy differs from state to state. Therefore, before starting arbitration proceedings, it is vital to be aware of any potential public policy issues and also to get local guidance on the stance of the courts in the jurisdiction where the assets are located.
Despite the existence of the New York Convention's regime making the enforcement of awards issued in a foreign seat more effective, practical issues may always arise during the enforcement of the arbitral award. In particular, converting an arbitration award into actual recovery may be challenging or even not possible in cases where the losing party is insolvent or when their assets are located in a state that is not part of the New York Convention. Hence it is imperative for the parties to consider the points mentioned above before embarking on a business transaction or beginning arbitration in the event of outstanding debt.

We've been asking our London Walks guides: What's your favourite London Street of all?
London Walks guide Stephanie – she leads the Chelsea Walk at 1:45p.m on Wednesdays – joins the debate today…
My favourite street is Cheyne Walk - with its early Georgian architecture – which has been home to such diverse personalities as Rolling Stone Keith Richards, and Ralph Vaughan Williams, those most 'English' of composers. Over 400 years ago, it was home to the young Queen Elizabeth I, and Sir Thomas More, Chancellor to Henry Vlll. Great 19th Century writers, such as Thomas Carlisle and George Eliot. The 18th/19th Century engineers the great Brunels, Mark and Isambard, footballer George Best, and actress and cake-designer, Jane Asher. And the current mega-wealthy like Roman Abramovich and Mick Jagger. And Chelsea's oldest building, with its wealth of ancient tombs, and celebrity parishioners, Chelsea Old Church.
If you can afford the £7.5ml price tag for a freehold house with interior decoration by the acclaimed Belgravia-based designer, Nicky Haslam, which overlooks the iconic fairytale Albert Bridge, and the pier which has a regular commuter boat to the City, grab it while you can. See all this and more, on the Chelsea Walk every Wednesday!
Thanks Steph!
Stephanie, a splendidly droll ex-Elephant Keeper, was in Shakespeare in Love! She's a professionally qualified Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, City of London, and Blue Badge Guide.

It all about connectivity, and lots of it. That means owning a very big network, with extensive geographical reach, lots of bandwidth and a direct path to as many end-users and as much critical content as possible. In network terms, it all comes down to routes and rankings.
Using a number of key metrics, Dyn Research rank the networks with the most predominant role in the global Internet routing system. Telia Carrier currently holds the #1 position in the global Internet backbone rankings and as of January 2018, our direct customers account for more than 53% of global Internet routes.
Our network continues to grow and we have consistently held the #1 position in the Dyn Global Internet Backbone rankings since 2017.
When it comes to connectivity, you can never have too much certainty. Which is why we developed our red and blue network concept.
This strict separation of two geographically diverse networks delivers 99.999% reliability. And as both the red and blue networks have similar delay performance, delivery doesn't suffer if one of them goes down.
In contrast to most carriers, we have a high level of PoP diversity. All international gateway PoPs and cities with high traffic have a minimum of two identical PoPs, at two different locations, to guarantee performance.
Crossings in the network are, in practice, unavoidable. But we are constantly rebuilding our network to minimize the risks.
Where red-blue can't be applied, documented standards – aimed at resilience by design – allow for meshing and ring concepts.
Further, we try to double everything that's feasible, including power, so if something happens it won't affect our customers. And we are always on the lookout for new ways to improve our entire system.
