Ngaio Marsh Award 2019 winners announced
New Zealand writer Fiona Kidman has won the Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Crime Novel for This Mortal Boy (RHNZ Vintage).
The story recreates the life of young Belfast immigrant Albert 'Paddy' Black, who killed a man in 1955 in apparent self-defence and became one of the last people hanged in New Zealand, with the book suggesting the 20-year-old may have been the victim of a miscarriage of justice. This Mortal Boy was previously honoured at the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards, NZ Booklovers Awards and the NZSA Heritage Book Awards.
The winner of best first novel was J P Pomare's psychological thriller Call Me Evie (Hachette), which judges said was 'an interesting take on unreliable narrators and clever explorations of memory … a suspenseful, absorbing tale with a strong sense of New Zealand.'
Kelly Dennett's The Short Life and Mysterious Death of Jane Furlong (Awa Press) won the best nonfiction prize. The book takes readers behind the lurid headlines about a young woman being snatched from K Road and explores Jane's wider life and the impact of her disappearance on those who loved her.
The winners were announced at a ceremony at WORD Christchurch on 14 September.
The Ngaio Marsh Awards are presented annually for the best crime, mystery or thriller writing by New Zealand citizens and residents, and are named in honour of Christchurch crime writer Ngaio Marsh. The winner of last year's best crime novel award was Alan Carter's Marlborough Man (Fremantle Press).

Friend or foe: OTT and pay TV services
With Netflix forging multiple distribution deals in Europe, cable and IPTV pay TV operators are increasingly welcoming OTT services on board. Stuart Thomson explores some of the issues raised.
Is OTT a friend or foe to pay TV? Netflix, the leading OTT player internationally, has teamed up with multiple service providers that also package their own pay TV offerings, while multiple pay TV providers are looking to make fresh content available to advanced connected set-tops to stimulate take up and cut churn.
On the other hand, pay TV operators have also joined the rush to launch their own OTT services, such as Sky's Now TV, to head off the competitive threat and – potentially – address a market segment that has hitherto proved resistant to the allure of 'full-fat' pay TV.
Potential partners
Everything ultimately depends on context. According to a recent survey carried out for technology provider Nagra by MTM, two thirds of operators see partnerships with OTT providers as "an important opportunity for their business" to keep audiences on the platform, differentiate their offerings and overcome a lack of in-house content assets and capabilities.
According to the study, 76% of respondents agreed with the concept that standalone premium OTT services are valuable potential partners, whether these are major international services such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Instant Video of the direct-to-consumer offerings of pay TV networks such as HBO. Small cable and telecom operators are more likely to see the benefits of teaming up with large known OTT brands than large pay TV operators with significant portfolios of premium content rights. The latter are more typically looking to surf the OTT wave by launching their own paid-for OTT services, carefully tailored so as not to cannibalise their mainstream offerings.
From the other side of the equation, OTT providers see partnerships with pay TV providers as a way to extend the reach of their services to large, established pay TV subscriber bases. They also stand to benefit from established billing relationships and the marketing power of the larger operators.
It is noteworthy, however, that pay TV providers most keen to forge partnerships with OTT operators such as Netflix are those that make money from bundling TV with other services including broadband internet access, based on their own infrastructure – in other words telecom and cable operators. Satellite pay TV operators – even those that have branched out to offer broadband and other multi-play offerings – seem more reluctant. This was borne out by the MTM study, which found that the opportunity to bring third party services onto their platform was rated more highly by cable operators and telcos than by satellite pay TV service providers.
MTM's survey respondents said they believe there will be a significant number of OTT service launches on a territory-by-territory basis over the next few years. Eight per cent of respondents stated a belief that pay TV operators will themselves increasingly use linear premium OTT services to offer higher-quality formats such as 4K TV to supplement their own efforts. Standalone OTT services from broadcasters are largely expected not to go head-to-head with pay TV broadcasters to secure premium sports rights and other premium pay TV offerings.
More the better
Despite the misgivings of large players, it seems that partnerships between pay TV operators and OTT providers are likely to become more common as operators seek to boost the appeal of the services to a broader audience with an appetite for non-linear internet TV services.
For Charles Dawes, senior director, international marketing at technology provider Rovi, increasing number of service providers "just see [OTT] as content that [subscribers] want to watch – the more content you have the better," says Dawes.
Other technology providers closely involved in the integration of OTT with pay TV platforms agree.
"There are opportunities both to increase revenue incrementally and to increase the attractiveness of the overall bundle from pay TV operators. For OTT operators the key advantages are increased audience and device reach," says Paul Mardling, vice-president of strategy at OTT technology provider Piksel.[icitspot id="410371″ template="box-story"]
"Our feeling is that is that this will be key for many service providers. They will have to integrate these new platforms and other sources of content," says Simon Trudelle, senior product marketing manager at Kudelski-owned technology provider Nagra. Such integrations enable operators to deliver OTT services via the same TV input and the same remote control as the pay TV service – a key advantage of the partnership model.
While such partnerships are growing in number, they are not without tensions. The question over who has ultimate control over the look and feel of services in this context is one of the thorniest.
For a player such as Netflix, the look and feel of its service is seen as one of the key selling points in its overall proposition, along with access to a long tail of content and high-profile originals such as House of Cards and Orange is the new Black.
At the heart of possible tension between the OTT provider and the pay TV operator is how pay TV services differentiate their offerings, not only from traditional competitors but from the coming wave of OTT services themselves.
The two main vehicles for differentiation are content rights – encompassing exclusive deals for premium sport and movies as well as the development of wholly owned channels and commissioned drama series – and the user experience – encompassing the look and feel of the service, the programme guide and search and navigation tools.
For the majority of pay TV operators – especially cable and telecom service providers – the acquisition of big rafts of premium content is not part of the core strategy. Exceptions include pay TV giants such as Sky, Canal+ and Telefónica. For small cable operators and telcos, such as strategy is beyond their resources and not part of their core expertise. Liberty Global and a few other large players stand somewhere in between, viewing ownership of content assets as important but not to the same extent or in the same way as the likes of Sky.
The MTM study found that over 90% of industry participants believe providing an integrated user experience across platforms and offering service through mobile and tablet devices will become increasingly important, with differentiation being achieved through the provision of easy integration, high-performance set-top boxes and the ability to offer supporting tools and services to partners.
Degree of control
Not all OTT providers are so determined to retain a high level of control on the Netflix model. An alternative approach has been adopted, for example, by ProSiebenSat.1-owned German OTT service Maxdome, which has adapted more readily to the requirements of cable operator and other partners.
"Our strategic goal as Maxdome is to reach our users on every platform. We have very attractive distribution partnerships in Germany. For example we fully integrated our SVoD offer into the offering of Unitymedia with availability for all TV and triple-play tariffs, which can be booked by more than seven million Unitymedia customers," says Filmon Zerai, managing director and chief operating officer at Maxdome. "We expect that the relevance of paid content and the number of internet-enabled television sets will increase over the next few years, opening further revenue opportunities for ProSiebenSat.1. The use of internet video libraries will increase considerably. That's why we also arranged agreements with many leading television manufacturer like Samsung, Philips, LG, Panasonic, Loewe, Toshiba, Humax or Technisat since 2010."
The position the OTT provider adopts will depend on a rang of factors.
"Both options will exist and, dependent on the relative position of the players in a given market, the two could be used on the same platform," says Trudelle. "You could have a native Netflix app alongside a marketplace-type platform where several OTT providers could sit in a 'mall' set-up with different content shops within the main interface."
For Andy Hooper, VP, cloud solutions and services, EMEA at technology provider Arris, "pay TV operators have moved on from viewing services as a threat to seeing them as an important part of the content mix", while OTT providers no longer necessarily see pay platforms as obstacles in the way of their goals. However, he points out that this doesn't mean pay TV and OTT complement each other perfectly. Both OTT providers and pay TV operators want to control the user experience, with the OTT provider typically prevailing in cases where services are seen as adding value to the pay TV proposition.
Murali Nemani, chief marketing officer at ActiveVideo, the cloud technology provider recently acquired by Arris, points out that consumers have an interest in getting content via a single interface and input to the TV rather than have to deal with multiple devices and sources feeding content into the same screen via a confusing multiplicity of interfaces: "For consumers, it also means accessing more long-form content and things you might want to watch on a TV rather than a mobile device."
Not all industry participants share the view that pay TV operators want to add third-party OTT services to their offerings. For Matt Smith, chief evangelist at video technology provider Anvato, viewing the industry from a US perspective, the main preoccupation of pay TV operators is getting their own services on as many devices as possible and addressing the competitive threat presented by low-cost OTT offerings that could "cannibalise" their customer base. "A majority of pay TV brands we work with are looking to extend their services to devices such as Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, Roku and Apple TV," he says. For Smith, most pay TV operators are focused on using OTT to extend the reach of their existing services rather than "shoehorning OTT onto a set-top box", which is challenging because of the fragmented nature of set-top technology and the presence of large numbers of legacy devices that are supported by the operators.
While US pay TV providers have largely continued to view OTT as a threat, European cable and telecom players are more likely to see OTT as adding value to their platforms. Nevertheless, there are a number of commercial obstacles to deals being done. For example, how much space do operators want to give to other brands, particularly those, like Netflix, that identify their value around their unique user experience as much as on their catalogue of content rights? [icitspot id="410401″ template="box-story"]
Pressure to find a solution is coming from users themselves. Most want to have a single billing relationship, for example, rather than pay separately for an OTT service that they receive through their set-top box. Control of an established billing relationship is one of the key strengths of the pay TV operator. Trudelle suggests that the direction of travel is for pay TV operators to become more and more like large supermarkets, offering a wide variety of content packages from multiple brands.
Jean Moonen, VP of product management and business development at technology provider SeaChange International, points out that pay TV operators and OTT providers do have different objectives in relation to the user experience overall. "Operators want a uniform experience across different OTT providers with different services. If you are Netflix or Maxdome you want your experience to be common across different operators. You can't fully satisfy both," he says.
Search and recommendation are key here. Moonen says that attempts to provide unified search across OTT apps have not so far been very compelling. However, there is work underway to harmonise metadata across apps.
For Rovi's Dawes, maintaining consistency in search and content discovery is a major challenge, as is the provision of unified billing. Both are key points of differentiation for pay TV operators and ways of presenting something of value to paying subscribers.
"In terms of the look and feel of services, predominantly it is the internet content provider that calls the shots, determining what branding and marketing is placed around the service, and taking charge of content origination and negotiation," says Arris's Hooper. "If a pay TV operator signs up to distribute an OTT service they get the content plus the app and have to sign up to how the OTT provider wants it to behave. That can be a challenge for set-top box-based pay TV operators."
Hooper says that while operators seek to differentiate their offerings through search and recommendation and unified billing, they are running into problems when trying to do this across third-party OTT services as well as their own content. While OTT providers may be willing to open up their APIs because "the benefits of unified search are significant", the challenges around billing are thornier, thanks in part to the contracts the OTT providers have with their own content suppliers.
Delivery of content to multiple screens – now an integral part of the pay TV offering and key to the value of OTT – is another potential source of tension in the relationship between pay TV operators and their OTT partners. Multiscreen delivery of OTT services provides a potential flashpoint if the pay TV partner has launched its own TV everywhere service. For the most part, OTT providers want to team up with pay TV providers only to reach TV viewers via the set-top box, seeing delivery to tablets and smartphones as their own province. But pay TV oprators also want to deliver a uniform service across tablet and smartphone via their own TV everywhere services. However, as Dawes puts it, consumers "don't want to dive in and out of multiple apps and be disappointed – research we've done shows that 80% of people are going to turn off a device if they can't find the content they're looking for".
Perhaps the biggest source of tension between the OTT provider and the pay TV operator is over who gets access to user data. Data about the way consumers interact with and view video is seen as having a high value, feeding into their ability to sell advertising as well as make programming decisions.
"The increased data pool primarily enables advertisers to easily profile their target audiences. However, advertising is just one of the key advantages of data sharing. By analysing that mobile video viewers tend to favour shorter clips and that Personal Video Recorder users recording content typically find their set-top box storage capabilities limited, video service providers that aggregate subscriber data can offer tailored functionality. From this, operators can upsell services or offer add-ons to relevant subscribers, providing personalised services that deliver the utmost quality of experience for each individual consumer," says Neale Foster, COO and VP global sales at multiscreen technology provider Access.
Given the advantages that control of data can confer, this is a key battleground between content providers and operators.
"OTT players like Netflix have kept control of their data and leveraged it smartly to improve their content buying and commissioning, and they have commissioned on basis of what they know about their viewers," says Trudelle.
ActiveVideo's Nemani says that views differ in particular over whether to share metadata for unified search, for example, with US OTT providers Hulu and Netflix taking different positions on this. While Netflix, with its large catalogue of long-tail content, sees search and recommendation as key to its appeal, Hulu, which is keen to heighten the discoverability of its recent content library, is more willing to share data with distribution partners.
Despite these problems there are strong motives for OTT and pay TV providers to team up. With regards to content, OTT platforms have not so far invested heavily in the key live rights that form the backbone of major pay TV offerings. Netflix is primarily a service with a large long-tail catalogue that could, in most cases, be seen as complementary to mainstream pay TV offerings.
The lines that separate different types of operator are in any case becoming blurred. While traditional operators for the most part are becoming multi-play providers – and are launching OTT packages of their own – other players including social networking sites and broadcasters are branching out into offering OTT video services. As content rights fragment and on-demand viewing grows, agreements such as those between Netflix and its multiple European distribution partners, or between Maxdome and its cable distribution partners, are likely to become commonplace. The variety and complexity of the commercial deals struck by the various parties, and the implications for the experience of consuming content on pay TV platforms, remains to be seen, but the pay TV proposition is likely to become much looser and more all-encompassing as time goes by.

De Raytheon MIM-23 HAWK is een luchtafweersysteem van Amerikaanse makelij en werd gebruikt om vanaf de grond snelvliegende luchtdoelen te bestrijden. Het systeem behoort tot de klasse van de zogenaamde SAM-raketten (Surface-to-Air Missile). HAWK is het acroniem voor Homing All The Way Killer.

Van 1963 tot 1994 heeft men HAWK-eenheden gestationeerd in de NAVO-verdedigingsgordel die zich uitstrekte van Noorwegen, via Denemarken en Duitsland, naar Italië en Turkije. Het HAWK-systeem werd voornamelijk gebruikt tegen luchtdoelen op de lage tot middelgrote hoogte. Het diende als aanvulling op de Nike Hercules luchtdoelraket voor aanvallen van doelen op grote hoogte. Na de uitfasering van de Nike Hercules in 1988, fungeerde het HAWK-systeem naast het Patriot wapensysteem. In 2004 werd het HAWK-systeem in België en Nederland uitgefaseerd.

Zover kan worden nagegaan, hebben Europese HAWK-eenheden nooit een raket tijdens een oorlogstoestand afgevuurd. Traditioneel oefende men het afvuren op het eiland Kreta, waar een NAVO-oefengebied was gevestigd.

HAWK in Nederlandse dienst

Bij de Nederlandse strijdkrachten maakte het HAWK-wapen deel uit van de Koninklijke Luchtmacht en werd ingedeeld in een zogenoemde Groep Geleide Wapens (afgekort tot GGW).

In Nedersaksen en Noordrijn-Westfalen werden drie Geleide Wapen-groepen gestationeerd:
 3 GGW te Blomberg met 4 squadrons:
 324 Squadron te Laatzen
 326 Squadron te Velmerstot; tussen 1987-1990 op de site van het Belgische 43A-HAWK bataljon te Willebadessen; in 1990 overgeschakeld op Patriot
 327 Squadron te Dörentrup-Schwelentrup; op 1 juli 1975 verplaatst naar Rinteln-Goldbeck; in 1988 vervangen door vijf Patriot-lanceeraffuiten.
 328 Squadron te Schwalenberg

 4 GGW te Hessisch Oldendorf met eveneens vier squadrons . v/a 1965 eerst onderkomen in oud suikerfabriek aan de  "Weser in verband met" te late oplevering Basiskamp.Voor die tijd geopereerd vanuit "Blomberg".v/a 1-10-1963 ( oprichting ).1965 gestationeerd in " Hessisch - Oldendorf "  .(4 GGW is op 1 juli 1975 opgeheven):
 420 Squadron te Barsinghausen, (gedeactiveerd 1 juli 1970, opheffing 1 juli 1975).
 421 Squadron te Bad Münder vanaf 1 december 1972 Barsinghausen, op 1 juli 1975 opgeheven
 422 Sqn te Rinteln-Goldbeck. Op 1 juli 1975 fuseerde 422 Squadron met 327 Squadron samen tot het nieuwe 327 Squadron met als basis eveneens Goldbeck
 423 Squadron te Büddenstedt-Reinsdorf; Op 1 juli 1975 hernoemd tot 503 Squadron en ingedeeld bij 5 GGW

 5 GGW te Stolzenau met 4 squadrons:
 500 Squadron te Borstel (nabij Linsburg)
 501 Squadron te Winzlar
 502 Squadron te Hoysinghausen; in 1988 vervangen door vijf Patriot-lauchers.
 503 Sqn gepland te Steyerberg, maar werd vervangen door site van 423 Squadron te Reinsdorf; in 1988 vervangen door vijf Patriot-lauchers.

Na bezuinigingen op defensie werd 4 GGW in 1975 opgeheven en het materiaal verdeeld over de Nederlandse vliegvelden ten behoeve van vliegveldverdediging naast het Bofors 40L70 luchtdoelgeschut en de Stinger MANPAD. Het geheel werd aangestuurd vanuit het Flycatcher radarsysteem.

HAWK-batterijen op Nederlands grondgebied:
Vanaf 1994 werden de HAWK raketsystemen in een nieuwe GGW gestationeerd op vliegbasis De Peel:
 GGW De Peel met squadrons uit de in 1994/1995 opgeheven 3 GGW en 5 GGW:
 801 Sqn, voortzetting van 326 Sqn en 500 Sqn
 802 Sqn, voortzetting van 328 Sqn en 502 Sqn
 803 Sqn, voortzetting van 324 Sqn en 503 Sqn
 804 Sqn, voortzetting van 327 Sqn en 501 Sqn

 Verdediging van de militaire luchthavens:De luchtverdedigingseenheden beschikten over een eenheid ter grootte van een Assault Firing Unit (AFU). Deze AFU's beschikten slechts over de uitrusting van een halve batterij (dus niet vergelijkbaar met de volledige Patriot/HAWK combinatie van de geleidewapen groepen). Vanaf 1996 waren er AFU's aanwezig op de volgende vliegvelden:
 119 Sqn te Leeuwarden: AFU met drie lanceeraffuiten
 121 Sqn te Gilze-Rijen: AFU met drie lanceeraffuiten
 221 Sqn te Soesterberg: AFU met drie lanceeraffuiten
 222 Sqn te Twenthe: AFU met drie lanceeraffuiten
 420 Squadron te Volkel: AFU met drie lanceeraffuiten
 421 Squadron te De Peel: AFU met drie lanceeraffuiten
 422 Squadron te  Vliegbasis Eindhoven: AFU met drie lanceeraffuiten nr1 Sqn volgens NAVO

De enige Nederlandse operationele HAWK-inzet was in 1991 in Turkije waar ze tijdens de Golfoorlog het Turkse luchtruim en de stad Dyarbakir tegen luchtaanvallen beschermden, dit in het kader van de NAVO samenwerking met Turkije.
Het HAWK-systeem werd in Nederland definitief opgegeven in 2004. De acht HAWK PIP III-systemen van GGW De Peel werden in december 2004 aan Roemenië verkocht.

HAWK in Belgische dienst

In België werden de HAWK-eenheden ingeschakeld in de luchtdoelartillerie als onderdeel van de Landmacht. In de Bondsrepubliek waren tussen 1966 en 1995 twee bataljons actief:
 43A artilleriebataljon, te Brakel
 BOC-site te Brakel-Rheder
 Alfa te Beverungen-Tietelsen
 Bravo te Bosseborn
 Charlie te Willebadessen; tussen 1986 en 1990 is de site tijdelijk overgenomen door het Nederlandse 326 Squadron
 Delta te Bad Driburg

 62A artilleriebataljon, te Marsberg-Essentho en Korbach
 BOC-site te Essentho (gemeente Marsberg)
 Alfa te Flechtdorf nabij Korbach (site later overgenomen door de Duitse 3. FlaRakGruppe 38)
 Bravo te Freienhagen-Heitzelberg (site later overgenomen door de Duitse 1. FlaRakGruppe 38)
 Charlie te Oesdorf (gemeente Marsberg)
 Delta te Diemelstadt-Rhoden, nabij Marsberg (site later overgenomen door de Duitse 4. FlaRakGruppe 38).

Op Belgisch grondgebied:
 Het opleidingscentrum HAWK, uitgerust met het materieel van twee batterijen, bevond zich te Lombardsijde.
 Verdediging van de luchthavens: zes HAWK-batterijen.

Samenstelling van een HAWK-eenheid

De vuurleiding van een HAWK-bataljon gebeurt vanuit het Batallion Operations Centre (BOC) dat verantwoordelijk is voor zijn eigen luchtverdedigingssector.

Aan het BOC (vuurcoördinatiecentrum, en bij sommige gebruikers uitgerust met een langeafstandsradar) zijn drie of vier circa 10 à 20 km rondom verspreid opgestelde afvuurbatterijen gekoppeld.

Een batterij bestaat uit de componenten:
 Vuurleiding:
 Een BCC (Battery Control Centre) met een ICC (Information Coordination Centre) of een PCP (Platoon Command Post)

 Opsporingsradars:
 Een PAR (Pulse Acquisition Radar): voor het opsporen van luchtdoelen op lange afstand (tot 125 km).
 Een CWAR (Continous Wave Acquisition Radar): voor het opsporen van luchtdoelen op lage hoogte en voor het bepalen van hun snelheid.

 Doelvolgradars:
 Twee HIPIR (High-Power Illumination Radar): een nauwkeurige hoogvermogen radar die richtinformatie verzorgt aan de vuurleiding.
 Een ROR (Range Only Radar): radar die de verwijdering van een luchtdoel bepaalt en die alleen gebruikt wordt bij storing door vijandelijke tegenmaatregelen (ECM: electronic counter measures).

Elke HIPIR radar stuurt via de Launcher Section Control Box (LSCB) 3 launchers aan, die elk voorzien zijn van drie HAWK-raketten.

Bij verplaatsingen kan een HAWK batterij worden gesplitst in twee aparte vuureenheden, waarvan de ene dan bestaat uit de BCC en ICC, de PAR en ROR en één HIPIR met 3 launchers. Deze configuratie het 'Battery Minus'. De andere helft, de Assault Fire Unit (AFU), bestaat uit de PCP, de CWAR, de andere HIPIR met eveneens 3 launchers

Een raket (missile) heeft een bereik van maximaal 15 kilometer hoogte en 35 kilometer reikwijdte. Tijdens de vlucht blijft de raket het doel volgen aan de hand van door het doel gereflecteerde signaal van de HIPIR. Als de raket het doel mist, defragmenteert de bommantel bij de explosie, zodat toch nog schade aan het gemiste doel kan worden aangebracht.

Daarnaast zijn bij de eenheid diverse logistieke onderdelen toegevoegd zoals transport, generatoren ter voorziening van de benodigde krachtstroom voor de eenheid en onderhoud om de eenheid in een oorlogssituatie geheel self-supporting te maken. De militairen van een eenheid worden ingezet voor de rondomverdediging, communicatie en logistiek.

Doing yoga with your bike – how cool is that? How much better can yoga and biking get? I remember last summer when I was in Crested Butte, Colorado at the top of the mountain taking an hour break and doing yoga. That experience is priceless.
This site is all about the things I love the most: Yoga, Mountain Biking, Skiing, Community, Retreats, and Events. This blog is where I will be posting tips, information, and stories about these 6 key words!


We pride ourselves on servicing Car's to the highest of standards, going beyond the guidelines set by the manufacturer, at a fraction of the cost. We can also service your car if it's still under the manufacturer's warranty as we only use O.E parts and are a vat registered garage.
If you own a 3rd generation CAR, built from late 2014 onwards, you won't have a service book, all your service history is stored online by CAR UK (What was wrong with an old fashioned service book!). This information is usually only accessed by CAR main dealers but as a CAR specialist we have access to the system allowing us to both view previous service history & update the system with any new service work we carry out.

Q: MFC Open big document I have an Single-document Interface(SDI) Microsoft Foundation Class(MFC) app that has to load a big document file (takes about 2 minutes). For that reason, my app stays unresponsive while I am opening the document.
However, I would like my app to be responsive while opening the document. The problem is that, if I try to load my document on a thread, my OnopenDocument function (in my doc) will return before I actually open the document:
BOOL CmodguiDoc::OnOpenDocument(LPCTSTR lpszPathName)
{
  if (!CDocument::OnOpenDocument(lpszPathName))
    return FALSE;
  start_tread(_open_doc); // just an example
  return TRUE; // Will return before the document will actually be open
}

How can I do this to be non-locking but only returning after the document is actually open? Or how can I at least make my app responsive while I am loading the document?
Thanks

A: Returning after the thread has been created is OK. You should define a state for the document such as loading and loaded. When you start the thread the state should be loading. The view(s) should look at the state and display accordingly. When the thread has finished loading the document it should post a message to the document. In the handler, set the state to loaded and call UpdateAllViews() to give the views the chance to update with the new document data.
Example: This will print "loading" while the doc is loading and "loaded" and loaded after it finished in the view.

In resource.h:
#define IDD_NotifyDocumentFinished        101

In the document header:
public:
   enum DocState
   {
      None,
      Failed,
      Loading,
      Loaded
   };

   DocState GetDocState() const {return m_state;}
private:
   DocState m_state;
   void StartLoading();

In the document implementation:
BOOL CMFCDocViewAsyncDoc::OnOpenDocument(LPCTSTR lpszPathName)
{
   if(!CDocument::OnOpenDocument(lpszPathName))
      return FALSE;

   m_state = Loading;

   StartLoading();

   return TRUE;
}

UINT LongRunningFunction(LPVOID param)
{
   Sleep(3000);

   HWND hWnd = AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->GetSafeHwnd();

   NMHDR hdr = {hWnd, IDD_NotifyDocumentFinished, 0};
   ::SendMessage(hWnd, WM_NOTIFY, 0, reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>(&hdr));

   return 0;
}

void CMFCDocViewAsyncDoc::StartLoading()
{
   AfxBeginThread(&LongRunningFunction, nullptr);
}

BOOL CMFCDocViewAsyncDoc::OnCmdMsg(UINT nID, int nCode, void* pExtra, AFX_CMDHANDLERINFO* pHandlerInfo)
{
   if(HIWORD(nCode) == WM_NOTIFY)
   {
      WORD wCode = LOWORD(nCode);
      AFX_NOTIFY * notify = reinterpret_cast<AFX_NOTIFY*>(pExtra);
      if(notify->pNMHDR->idFrom == IDD_NotifyDocumentFinished)
      {
         m_state = Loaded;
         UpdateAllViews(nullptr);
      }
   }

   return TRUE;
}

In the view:
void CMFCDocViewAsyncView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
    CMFCDocViewAsyncDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
    ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);
    if (!pDoc)
        return;

    CMFCDocViewAsyncDoc::DocState state = pDoc->GetDocState();
   CString sstate;
   switch(state)
   {
   case CMFCDocViewAsyncDoc::None:
      sstate = "None";
      break;
   case CMFCDocViewAsyncDoc::Failed:
      sstate = "Failed";
      break;
   case CMFCDocViewAsyncDoc::Loading:
      sstate = "Loading";
      break;
   case CMFCDocViewAsyncDoc::Loaded:
      sstate = "Loaded";
      break;
   }
   pDC->TextOut(50, 50, sstate);
}

Update: Also look here for a similar, more detailed example http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/14706/Notifying-the-Document.

A: When it takes two minutes to just load something, then there are two reasons for that:

*

*You are doing something stupid while loading, like e.g. running expensive algorithms on the data like indexing or graphical rendering. If you store the data in containers, the overhead of allocations could also become significant. If that is the case, only perform them on demand or perform these operations asynchronously in the background. You can notify the main thread (the one running the UI) when done in order to display the rendered graphics, for example.

*The data is incredibly large. In that case, you will have to rethink how to access this data anyway, because any operation might be expensive. Your best bet will be to use an asynchronous model, like sending a request to the model to perform some operation. The model then sends a response to the UI to display the data. In that case, you need to think about how to make this transparent to the user though. One approach is to darken the display area after a change request and only brighten it up after the response or a progress bar.

"Guess What it Is" Exhibit
7/1/2019 to 8/31/2019 | Battle of Pilot Knob State Historic Site | Pilot Knob, MO
For the 2019 season, the historic site will be rotating six different themed displays of artifacts related to the site. Many of these are original artifacts that have never been on public display. Each themed display will be available for public viewing during regular business hours at the museum.
July and August will be themed "Guess What it is." In the 1800s, people used their brains to come up with ingenious ways to accomplish a task or make one easier. Much like we are always looking for the best new app for our phones, people of that time were on the lookout for the best equipment and supplies for whatever job they were doing. If there was not something available, they would often build something themselves. We have a large selection of unique artifacts that show the inventive ways people of that time used their tech to make their lives better or easier, just like we do today. Many of the artifacts will be unfamiliar to us and you can have fun trying to figure out what they were and how they were used. The artifacts will be on display and staff will be available to explain and interpret the artifacts.
Upcoming displays will be:
September-October "Before the Fort" Highlighting Native American life in the valley before European settlement.
November-December "Remembering the past" Highlighting the battle participant reunions and picnics, which kept the memory of the battle alive and also the latter activities developing the museum and the distinctive reenactments.
This 2019 rotating exhibit event will include a reward for visitors who visit all six of the exhibits over the 2019 season. We will have an event passport, which can document attendance at the exhibits. The first five persons to turn in completed passports showing attendance to all six exhibits will receive a VIP pass to the September 2020 reenactment. The pass will include VIP seating and parking at the event as well as other incentives. All persons turning in a completed passport after the first five have been awarded will be placed in a random drawing for two additional VIP passes to be drawn in January 2020.
Museum Hours: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Q: Trying to create a web scraper for dell drivers using python3 and Beautiful Soup I am trying to create a web scraper to grab info about Dell Drivers from their website. Apparently, it uses java on their site to load the data for the drivers to the web page. I am having difficulty getting the driver info from the webpage. this is what I have cobbled together so far.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import urllib.request
import json

resp = urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/precision-15-5520-laptop/drivers")
soup = BeautifulSoup(resp, 'html.parser', from_encoding=resp.info().get_param('charset'))

So far none of these have worked to try and get the data for the drivers:
data = json.loads(soup.find('script', type='text/preloaded').text)

data = json.loads(soup.find('script', type='application/x-suppress').text)

data = json.loads(soup.find('script', type='text/javascript').text)

data = json.loads(soup.find('script', type='application/ld+json').text)

I am not very skilled at python, I have been looking all over trying to cobble something together that works. Any assistance to help me get a little further in my endeavor would be greatly appreciate.

A: You can use selenium:
from selenium import webdriver
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get('https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/precision-15-5520-laptop/drivers')

time.sleep(3)

page = driver.page_source

driver.close()

soup = BeautifulSoup(page,'html5lib')

A: I was able to get Sushil's answer working  on my machine with some minor changes
from selenium import webdriver
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:/temp/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe')

driver.get('https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/precision-15-5520-laptop/drivers')

time.sleep(3)

page = driver.page_source

driver.close()

soup = BeautifulSoup(page,'html.parser')

results = soup.find(id='downloads-table')

results2 = results.find_all(class_='dl-desk-view')
results3 = results.find_all(class_='details-control sorting_1')
results4 = results.find_all(class_='details-control')
results5 = results.find_all(class_='btn-download-lg btn btn-sm no-break text-decoration-none dellmetrics-driverdownloads btn-outline-primary')

The problem though is that this still only gets me 10 out of 79 drivers
I need a way to get all of the drivers that are available listed.

A: I got it figured out
from selenium import webdriver
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:/temp/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe')

driver.get('https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/precision-15-5520-laptop/drivers')

time.sleep(3)

element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[contains(.,'Show all')]").click();

page = driver.page_source

driver.close()

soup = BeautifulSoup(page,'html.parser')

results = soup.find(id='downloads-table')

results2 = results.find_all(class_='dl-desk-view')
results3 = results.find_all(class_='details-control sorting_1')
results4 = results.find_all(class_='details-control')
results5 = results.find_all(class_='btn-download-lg btn btn-sm no-break text-decoration-none dellmetrics-driverdownloads btn-outline-primary')

for results2, results3, results4, results5 in zip(results2, results3, results4, results5):
   print(results2, results3, results4, results5)

A: I was able to pull the JSON file that has the driver information.  Saves a lot of hassle trying to use a web driver or other tricks.
Example for Dell Precision 7760 with Windows 10:
https://www.dell.com/support/driver/en-us/ips/api/driverlist/fetchdriversbyproduct?productcode=precision-17-7760-laptop&oscode=WT64A
(Note: "productcode" and "oscode" parameters.)
In order for this to work, you must have a request header "X-Requested-With" and set the value to "XMLHttpRequest".  If you do not have this then you will get a "no content" result.
Format the resulting JSON and you should easily see the structure of the results including all of the driver data that you see on the support website.


Zen Cart's standard button_update_cart.gif is small, and a lot of my clients do not like it because they are afraid their customers will not know what it means. The alternative is to have a larger button with text.
Unfortunately, because Zen Cart displays this new larger button next to the quantity box (default settings), it leaves less space to the right for the product name as shown in the image to the right. While I personally think that the update button is pretty clear as to what its function is… others don't seem to think so. Granted, if you enter a new amount in the quantity box and press the enter key, it will achieve the same result as if you entered the amount and pressed the update button.
But, if you are afraid your customer is not internet savvy enough to know what the standard update cart button is for…. then chances are they are not going to be savvy enough to press enter when changing the quantity either!
So, what are your choices? We can keep the default image and hope our customers figure out some way to update their quantity either by pressing the image or hitting the enter button; We can use the larger image and let the product name get scrunched up; We can completely REMOVE the update button altogether… but then… that pretty much defeats the purpose of trying to make things easy for those less than savvy customers.
No worries! The Zen Cart development team has made it easy for you to have your cake and eat it too!
If we change this from the default of #3, to #2, then the update button will no longer show up next to the quantity box, but your larger image with text on it will still show up under the shopping cart total line to the right of your Continue Shopping button!
This should make it easier for those less internet savvy customers to update their carts as they need to and still maintains a nicely spaced shopping cart page in the process.
Copy includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_ezpages.php into the overrides folder.
Upload this file to the server.
Doing the line break like this as opposed to just adding a line height to all links sitewide will keep links that take up two lines together instead of spacing them out making them appear to be two separate links in your sidebox.

Mozambique, like many other developing countries, uses leaded gasoline. While the adverse health effects of lead have been well-documented and many of the world's countries have either completely phased out use of leaded gasoline or lowered lead concentrations, Africa remains as a bastion of leaded gasoline use. The primary lead exposure pathway is via airborne lead and lead in dust and soil. In congested urban areas vehicle exhaust from leaded gasoline accounts for some 90 percent of airborne lead pollution.
In August, 2004 it was announced following a Ministerial review of the Task Force's Action Plan, that Mozambique is to ban the importation of leaded gasoline by the end of 2004, following the approval of the Blacksmith-funded Leaded Gasoline Phase-out Task Force's Action Plan by government Ministers this month. Recently, the government removed price distortions on unleaded gas, making it cheaper for Mozambique to import unleaded gas rather than leaded gasoline. This development, in part due to the efforts of the Task Force, is a significant step in the phase-out process.
Blacksmith Institute initiated and has supported this initiative since 2001 with funds and technical assistance. The Mozambique Task Force, made up of representatives from Mozambique's Ministry of Health, Ministry for the Coordination of Environmental Affairs (MICOEA), and the Ministry of Mines, Resources and Energy, has designed and will implement a plan to completely phase out the use of leaded gasoline in the country by mid-2005.
The primary goals of the task force are to work with government and industry to design the most efficient plan possible for the phase out and to educate the public on the health and social benefits. The group, along with the Grupo Ambiental de Jornalistas (see below), will also assist in public education.
With funding and technical support from the Blacksmith Institute, the Government of Mozambique has ratified a ban on the selling and importation of leaded gasoline. Blacksmith Institute initiated and has supported this initiative since 2001 with funds and technical assistance. Blacksmith helped create the Mozambique Leaded Gasoline Task Force, made up of representatives from Mozambique's Ministry of Health, Ministry for the Coordination of Environmental Affairs (MICOEA), and the Ministry of Mines, Resources and Energy, which designed and implemented a plan to completely phase out the use of leaded gasoline by mid-2005.


Behind the scenes, hiding under their credentials and publications, biostatisticians have been a driving force behind the promotion of pandemic speculation and mass vaccination campaigns. Most of what they term "statistically significant studies" are little more than a great imagination based on junk science.
The vaccine industry has always known that governments and public health would never be convinced of the effectiveness of vaccinations without some statistical evidence from academia. Without some proof on how vaccines and antivirals could benefit a population, how could they ever be marketed on a global scale? They couldn't!
That's where the biostatisticians come in. Under the guise of disease prevention and pandemic preparedness, these so-called "experts" have carefully concocted a wide range of simulated statistical analyses in a systematic effort to promote global pandemic models and their counter measure -- mass vaccination and antiviral programs.
It's kind of like the old salted pretzel lure at your local bar. The bar owner entices a hungry customer with free salted pretzels. The customer eats the pretzels and becomes thirsty, which then encourages the purchase of even more beverages. Create the problem, which then causes a customer reaction and offer a solution (conveniently catered by the creator of the problem). The technique is a well-known dialectic method used to psychologically control populations.
The entire pandemic and mass vaccination campaigns are no different. The creators of the problem are the vaccine industry and their masters. They pay off biostatisticians to help promote and project theoretical models of the problem. They then market the model as substantiated to national health agencies and governments, who of course are supposed to protect their populations. Once the problem is repeated enough and lacks opposition, they conveniently present the effectiveness of antiviral and mass vaccination simulations which were co-created with the original pandemic models. All that is left is to release an engineered virus to execute the final phase of the operation -- the pandemic. Similar types of models have been used throughout history to orchestrate pandemic flu campaigns.
Two primary movers in the field of biostatistics are M. Elizabeth Halloran and Ira Longini from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Together, the pair has been collaborating for over a decade on a copious array of pandemic and vaccination scenarios.
Both Longini's and Halloran's work have been featured in everything from medical and epidemiological journals, university reports, government grant studies, and plenty of mainstream publications.
All of the publications we've reviewed (we're talking 100%), are based on theoretical models and speculative projections which are so far beyond any type of reality, that they might as well have been published by Stephen King.
They are all predictably templated with run-of-the-mill conclusions promoting mass vaccinations, antivirals or quarantine of populations under pandemic scenarios that they design.
Scientific modelling is the process of generating conceptual, graphical and/or mathematical models. It is an essential and inseparable part of all scientific activity, and many scientific disciplines have their own ideas about specific types of modelling. However, all types of scientific modelling attempt to incorporate some measure of consistent objects or processes that are represented in some type of logical format. The aim of these attempts is to construct a formal system for which reality is the only interpretation.
The primary basis of the Longini-Halloran format defies any type of logic. There are no typical consistency objects in their studies at all. Everything is a wildcard variable that is randomly inputted into each equation. Their methods not only defeat the purpose of generating a scientific model, but also any logic in evaluating that model.
Their studies are formed around expressing their opinions on models which have never been practically applied to any infectious disease or pandemic. They also consistently refer to other pseudoscientific models which have no historical foundation, are extremely abstract or very poorly studied with the lowest scientific rationale imaginable. Call it conjecture, speculation, or the expression of opinions without any supporting evidence -- that sums up the work of Longini and Halloran.
In 2004, the American Journal of Epidemiology published their paper "Containing Pandemic Influenza with Antiviral Agents." You can often measure the credibility of scientific study just by analyzing its aim or purpose. If there are many inaccuracies in the abstract, there are often questionable areas everywhere else.
The paper explores what they call "effective strategies" for the use of influenza antiviral agents for a first wave of pandemic influenza or for a bioterrorist attack of a novel strain of influenza. The authors use stochastic epidemic simulations to investigate the effectiveness of targeted antiviral prophylaxis to contain influenza. They attempt to compare the effectiveness of such a strategy with that of vaccination. To quantify these effects, they follow previous work on vaccine efficacy and effectiveness.
Sure, their rhetoric sounds very academic and convincing, but what are they really exploring? They're using random assumptions on epidemics to investigate antiviral and vaccine effectiveness based on previous studies (which are themselves unscientific). In a nutshell, a theoretical approach which will either conclusively or inconclusively determine more theory.
There are never any facts involved. Actually, any outcome and determinations are completely based on underlying formats which only appear and claim to be scientific, when they are precisely the opposite.
On further examination of the previous studies they use to establish antiviral and vaccine efficacy, they are all based on junk science. Not one study is based on randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled measures with even a hint of long-term conclusive evidence. In other words, they have no scientifically derived or reliable data to compare against or model this study (of which they are claiming they do).
Moreover, a dozen of their cited references which they use to justify this study are based on other publications from either Longini, Halloran or both. Most of these references are also based on the same type of shady scientific principles and unreliable data. If an author pursues a grant-based study with just over forty references, is it academically responsible to use a quarter of the author's own publications to support the new study? Either they've cornered the market, or the results will be inevitably biased, or perhaps both.
The authors use fancy charts and bar graphs to graphically interpret their meaningless data. They insert this data into statistical equations which sum up to meaningless results. Then they conclude the unsubstantiated data and announce that "antiviral agents would be an important intervention tool for pandemic or bioterrorist influenza" and "mass vaccination of 80 percent of the children could be 93 percent effective in containing pandemic influenza and 65 percent effective in preventing a pandemic."
Their methods are simply ludicrous and at the very least scientific fraud. This study is the equivalent of exploring the distance from our square-shaped, pea-sized moon to our triangular-shaped helium-dense earth and then trying to statistically formulate and determine the distance between them. Such a study would be redundant because its foundation and purpose are already based on flawed assumptions and data which should, by default make any scientific results inconclusive. In this example, the variable and topic of study becomes focused on the distance rather than questioning other misrepresented variables being the size, shape and composition of the earth and moon. Don't discuss the sweeping assumptions, just focus on the purpose right? This is the Longini and Halloran template and it is rampant throughout their work.
They use the same format in other studies such as Containing Pandemic Influenza at the Source published in Science July 2005 which parrots all the same false credentials as the 2004 study quoted above.
Another example is an article published in the Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States of America on Modeling Flu Pandemics May Help Prevent Them which focused on using antivirals and quarantine interventions in order to prevent an influenza pandemic. Again, they rely on unproven pharmaceutical intervention strategies such as antivirals to make their case.
The same repetitive and redundant conclusions are always observed, consistently touting the effectiveness of antivirals and vaccines, all based on the false premise that has justified the use of these pharmaceutical applications for decades. They claim to use preventive measures when all they ever address are symptoms of the disease rather than applying fundamental preventive strategies such as fortifying the immune system.
They maintain they use "sophisticated mathematical and statistical models", but all they apply them to are these random assumptions on epidemics which investigate nothing but non-preventive strategies. What sense does that make?
In another hypothetical scenario in Science magazine in 2005, Preparing for the worst-case scenario, Halloran and Longini consider an outbreak in rural Southeast Asia. They again apply fictional data, censuses and use other sources to estimate a variety of factors. They use these factors to calculate different values for the outbreak strain's ease of transmission, which they then plot across several possible courses of the pandemic.
They also added flu-fighting countermeasures to the model, including the distribution of antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and the use of a partially effective vaccine. They assumed that it would take at least a week from onset of the first human illness for health officials to recognize the outbreak and respond.
"A mobile stockpile of Tamiflu that could be moved anywhere on the planet rapidly is the way to go," Longini said. On the basis of their study's results, they concluded that "the current WHO stockpile of 120,000 courses could possibly be sufficient to contain a pandemic if the stockpile were deployed at the source of the emerging strain within two to three weeks of detection."
Let's take a look a closer look at the wording. From this study, Longini and Halloran based their conclusions on a hypothetical scenario to plot possible pandemic courses, with assumptions on the response time of officials to how countermeasure modelling of Tamiflu (an unproven antiviral in pandemics) and partially effective vaccines (a misnomer) could possibly be sufficient to contain the illness.
Is it clear yet how the conclusions of these studies are being fictitiously manufactured? Science like this could also prove our oceans don't contain fish and our skies are filled with them. They defy any sense of logic by using an endless order of irrational and erroneous assumptions. It is junk science or quackery in its most definitive form. A question can never be answered correctly if the question itself contains errors.
In Community Studies for Vaccinating Schoolchildren Against Influenza, Science 3 Feb. 2006, Halloran and Longini laid out the design for a nationwide study in which government, industry, and academia would work together. "Academia," which doubtless translates to Halloran, Longini and colleagues, would "provide expertise in innovative design and central coordination of the study." It would be controlled and single blind. Census data would be used to select community units for vaccination, and to match those units with other units which would act as controls.
Their design required that the study be continued for two more years if the season proved to be mild. This current swine flu season has certainly proven to be mild. Halloran and Longini will now be looking for more effective modelling measurements to ensure that everyone they want vaccinated will be vaccinated.
Recent deployment of H1N1 vaccine distribution to delivery sites has appeared to the public, medical personnel, and state officials to be "haphazard" since the first deliveries in October. The Halloran-Longini study was designed to withhold vaccines from adults and children in the control units. Delivering vaccines only to community units where people would be vaccinated and not to community units being used as controls would look haphazard to anyone who was not aware of the plan. State officials recently have been attempting to gain more even distribution.
Earlier this year, U.S. government officials may have actually played out "a real life" Halloran and Longini simulation, A Case For Giving Children Flu Shots. Appearing in the journal Vaccine, the study describes a different mathematical model for analyzing disease dynamics and costs. Longini had stated on their model: "We insert infected people into the subpopulation, and we let it run its course."
In February, a four-year-old boy in La Gloria Mexico suffered the initial case of swine flu. Neighbors of his family immediately began to fall ill. U.S. government officials finally announced in March that several people had died in Mexico from swine flu. The Mexico-US border was still kept open, but they had border guards turn back people coming across the border who appeared to be ill from influenza. Persons infected with swine flu can remain contagious after their visible symptoms end. Infected people who did not look ill would enter the United States from Mexico on foot, by air, by auto, and probably by ship. To protect their own citizens against swine flu infections from the United States, Mexico closed the border when the United States would not.
Who's Really Behind The Pseudoscience?
What if we excuse all of the gross inaccuracies and miscalculations littered in Longini's and Halloran's work and focus on the crux of the matter? What is really behind all of their scientific misinterpretations?
Suspiciously, Longini and Halloran do not provide disclosures of any financial relationships in their publications or presentations with big pharma or any of their subsidiaries. We have not found them listed in any disclosure indexes.
On further investigation, we realized that the majority of their funding sources come from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) who have notorious ties to pharmaceutical conglomerates themselves.
Actually, the leading promoter of getting vaccinated for the pandemic H1N1 flu is Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), who himself has admitted knowing nothing about how human immunity responds to vaccinations.
Dr. Leonard Horowitz, a Harvard-trained emerging diseases expert said "Dr. Fauci's statement evidences the fraud and ignorance underlying vaccination programs in general." He stated "Fauci admits being clueless about the fundamentals of immunity operating bioenergetically or electro-genetically, not chemically, that vaccine proponents criminally neglect to prosper by poisoning people."
Dr. Fauci is no stranger to withholding his own financial ties to big pharma. He is a co-patent holder, and royalty earner for IL-2, a vaccine adjuvant, which he does not disclose in any publication.
The Associated Press reported that Fauci received at least $45,072.82 in royalties when the government licensed IL-2 to CHIRON, the drug industry's major supplier of chemicals.
Fauci, allegedly, donated his IL-2 royalties to charity to avoid conflict-of-interest charges. But he admitted it was his decision to withhold disclosures to patients and reporters researching IL-2 in the trials that he supervised.
If you really want to know who's behind the pseudoscientific garbage that Longini and Halloran publish, look no further than those who supply their funding, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases - an organization littered with corrupt medical officials like Fauci who supply and accept grants for their own financial gains.
"This offers an opportunity that should not be missed: to conduct a nationwide study of the effectiveness of vaccinating school children against influenza as a means of reducing community transmission."
"We have no real capacity to make [a pandemic] vaccine right now."
"It's technically possible and it is being done in labs, ... The next step would be for drug manufacturers to make that technology workable on a mass level and guarantee the quality of product."
"...when an outbreak occurs in humans, there is a chance of containing it and preventing a pandemic with antiviral drugs"
"Children between the ages of 5 and 18 are considered to be the most important source of community-wide transmission of the influenza virus, and so vaccinating them would be the most efficient approach to reduce overall influenza cases."
"Without a vaccine, there is nothing to do except react"
so, essentially trying to limit the contact people have."
"Vaccination of school children will be a massive effort if introduced nationwide. Why not plan for its proper evaluation now,"
"Before a school closure there should be an iron-clad policy that children who are sick are basically household quarantined for up to a week,"
"Based on our results, combinations of mitigation strategies such as stockpiling vaccines or antiviral agents, along with social distancing measures could be particularly effective in slowing pandemic flu spread in the U.S.,"
"...child-first, phased vaccination would need to start as soon as possible, and no later than mid September to be effective for mitigation,"
What is most surprising about national governments is their acceptance of the Longini-Halloran's theories as substantiated fact. That alone clearly demonstrates how broken the entire system of public health really is. If public health officials are incapable of accurately analyzing and assessing the most basic scientific principles, how can they protect the public?
There is no vaccine and antiviral efficacy and there never has been. Antivirals consistently cause pneumonia and respiratory failure.
The WHO reports that populations are increasingly becoming resistant to antivirals such as Tamiflu for the current H1N1 pandemic virus.
Numerous reports and studies have already linked Tamiflu to dozens of deaths worldwide in apparently very health children. The British Medical Journal reported that children with seasonal flu should not be given Tamiflu because harmful side effects may outweigh relatively meager benefits. Yet antivirals are one of the primary tools used by Longini and Halloran to prevent a pandemic. On the contrary, antivirals would only accelerate it.
Tamiflu and other antivirals lower body temperatures. They make people (who can still transmit the virus) asymptomatic for longer periods and can therefore be expected to facilitate and contribute to the spread of a pandemic. If populations begin taking Tamiflu as a preventive measure, it could potentially cause the reverse of the intended effect, causing an explosion of viral transmission.
Regarding vaccines, as mentioned there has never been one study based on randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled measures that could ever validate vaccinations scientifically. They have zero immunization potential with a cocktail of toxins that cause immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity and sterility and cancer.
Since the pharmacokinetic properties of vaccines are not studied, vaccine manufacturers cannot deny any of these toxic effects. The reason they never analyze the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of toxic vaccine ingredients is because it would eradicate the entire industry. However the individual effects of each vaccine ingredient and their toxic effects on cells are well documented. But you're unlikely to see these variables inputted into a Longini or Halloran simulation anytime soon.
The effectiveness of immunizations throughout history is nil. Immunization and vaccination are actually antonyms. In North America, Europe, and the South Pacific, major declines in life-threatening infectious diseases occurred historically either without, or far in advance of public vaccinations for specific diseases. This document provides irrefutable evidence that vaccines are not immunizing or necessary for the effective elimination of a wide range of infectious diseases and epidemics.
Longini and Halloran are not interested in serving the public and providing effective scientific models to help us understand the nature of epidemics or pandemics. They simply exist to academically serve the corrupt and biased organizations, such as NIAID who fund their pathetic studies.
What is most concerning is Longini's and Halloran's involvement in several vaccine research committees within the World Health Organization (WHO) who have defined the current pandemic with questionable policies.
Perhaps Longini and Halloran do not understand that the outcome of their work only further enslaves humanity into the false paradigm of conventional medicine. If they could use their academic talents to truly assist human health, rather than modelling how to destroy it, this would serve as the best simulation of all.

As Mandela Lies In Hospital, Family Fights Over Kin's Graves : The Two-Way A grandson moved the remains of three of Mandela's children. Other relatives sued. Now, a court has ordered that the remains be returned to their original burial site. And criminal charges have been prepared against the grandson.

Former South African President Nelson Mandela remains in stable but critical condition at a Pretoria hospital, where he's been since June 8 for treatment of a serious lung infection.
The anti-apartheid hero, who survived 27 years in jail and decades of oppression, is 15 days shy of his 95th birthday.
In 1990, Nelson Mandela (wearing a dark suit, pointing down) visited the graves of family members in Qunu, South Africa. A grandson's 2011 decision to move some relatives' remains to another site was followed by a lawsuit and court action. Juda Ngenya /Reuters /Landov hide caption

In 1990, Nelson Mandela (wearing a dark suit, pointing down) visited the graves of family members in Qunu, South Africa. A grandson's 2011 decision to move some relatives' remains to another site was followed by a lawsuit and court action.
Meanwhile, members of his family are involved in what seems to be a nasty legal battle over where some of his kin have been buried. As The Associated Press writes:
"A family feud over the burial site of three of Nelson Mandela's children intensified Tuesday when criminal charges were filed against one of his grandsons."
According to the AP, Nelson Mandela "has long said that he wants to be buried in Qunu, where his children were buried in the family plot."
A rival faction of Nelson Mandela relatives, led by his oldest surviving daughter, Makaziwe, went to court last week, to compel the remains of her late siblings to be returned to Mandela's ancestral home.
They accuse his eldest grandson, Chief Mandla Mandela, the nominal head of the Mandela family, of exhuming the bodies two years ago and removing them to his village, Mvezo, 15 miles away, Quist-Arcton says. That's where he's building a heritage center dedicated to Nelson Mandela. The move infuriated his relatives, but on Wednesday a South African court ruled against Mandla and allowed the exhumation and reburial to take place.
South Africa's News 24 says the remains are those of "Mandela's eldest son, Mandla Mandela's father, Makgatho Mandela, who died in 2005; Mandela's first daughter, Makaziwe Mandela, who died as an infant in 1948; and Mandela's second son, Madiba Thembekile, who died in a car accident in 1969."
Television images and commentary show the court's representative using a pickaxe to force open the locks on the gates of Mandla Mandela's compound, opening the way for a convoy of police vehicles and Mandela family members. Police say the unmarked graves have been located and that exhumation of the remains has begun. Cultural commentator, Somadoda Fikeni says this unseemly family tug-of-war runs counter to custom and tradition.
"It is believed that an elderly member of the family, or any member of the family, wouldn't have a smooth transition in their life to the afterlife if there was still some dispute or discord in the family," Fikeni says.
Many South Africans were appalled by the very public family feuding, and the leader of Mandela's governing ANC party, Gwede Mantashe, said now should be a time of unity for the family.
The BBC notes that Mandla Mandela was nominated by his grandfather to be "chief Zwelivelile of the Thembu people." Mandla Mandela is also a member of African National Congress Parliamentary Caucus.
The Daily Dispatch newspaper quoted Ndaba Mandela as describing his half-brother, Mandla, as a "power hungry, self-obsessed man who is only concerned about himself."
The Royal House of Nelson Mandela's Abathembu tribe and clan elders have offered to step in to try to resolve the family quarrel.
