NAGRA Talks Live Sports Piracy, 4K, Big Data and Innovation at TV Connect London 2017
Cheseaux, Switzerland – March 24, 2017 – How can live sports broadcasters protect their premium content from piracy? What is the impact of 4K, HDR and VR on the pay-TV industry? How much is Big Data being leveraged to improve the pay-TV experience? How is pay-TV innovation adapting to changing viewer behaviors? These questions and more will be addressed by NAGRA, a Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S) company, the world's leading independent provider of content protection and multiscreen television solutions, on Day One of the TV Connect Congress, Wednesday, March 29th, in three separate sessions.
At 12:30pm, in "Innovation: Where is the Pay-TV Industry Headed?" both Simon Trudelle, Sr. Director Product Marketing at NAGRA and Jon Watts, Managing Partner at MTM London, will address the evolving pay-TV landscape and how innovation is shaping it to adapt to new consumer behaviors. "Watching TV–and delivering it to consumers–has changed forever over the past few years," said Trudelle. "What does that mean for pay-TV service providers worldwide and how should they innovate to stay relevant? I look forward to sharing the latest insights from the 2017 edition of the Pay-TV Innovation Forum."
At 2 p.m., in the session titled "Understanding the Future of User and Network Big Data," Trudelle will explore how pay-TV service providers can and should use actionable data analytics to their advantage and look at "what's next" for the industry in this field. "In an always-connected and all-screen TV market, leveraging data analytics is strategic to stay competitive and drive overall business performance," added Trudelle.
Finally, at 2:30 p.m., Christopher Schouten, Sr. Director of Product Marketing for NAGRA's content protection solutions, will be a featured panellist in "Broadcast Innovation in Sport." The session will cover an array of topics affecting live sports broadcasts including how service providers can create immersive viewing experiences across linear and non-linear channels, the impact of 4K, HDR and VR, as well as combatting the threat of piracy head-on and in real –time. "Content owners and distributors are faced with an ever-increasing amount of piracy of their premium content. I look forward to addressing the live sports piracy problem as a key consideration for sports rights holders and how they can mitigate both traditional and streaming types of piracy," commented Schouten.

How Policymakers Can Foster Algorithmic Accountability
Joshua New Daniel Castro May 21, 2018
Read ReportWatch Release Event
Instead of overregulating, governments should adopt a policy framework based on the principle of "algorithmic accountability" to promote innovation while holding human operators responsible for harmful outcomes.
Increased automation with algorithms, particularly through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), offers opportunities for the public and private sectors to complete increasingly complex tasks with a level of productivity and effectiveness far beyond that of humans, generating substantial social and economic benefits in the process. However, many believe an increased use of algorithms will lead to a host of harms, including exacerbating existing biases and inequalities, and have therefore called for new public policies, such as establishing an independent commission to regulate algorithms or requiring companies to explain publicly how their algorithms make decisions. Unfortunately, all of these proposals would lead to less AI use, thereby hindering social and economic progress.
Policymakers should reject these proposals and instead support algorithmic decision-making by promoting policies that ensure its robust development and widespread adoption. Like any new technology, there are strong incentives among both developers and adopters to improve algorithmic decision-making and ensure its applications do not contain flaws, such as bias, that reduce their effectiveness. Thus, rather than establish a master regulatory framework for all algorithms, policymakers should do what they have always done with regard to technology regulation: enact regulation only where it is required, targeting specific harms in particular application areas through dedicated regulatory bodies that are already charged with oversight of that particular sector. To accomplish this, regulators should pursue algorithmic accountability—the principle that an algorithmic system should employ a variety of controls to ensure the operator (i.e., the party responsible for deploying the algorithm) can verify it acts in accordance with its intentions, as well as identify and rectify harmful outcomes. Adopting this framework would both promote the vast benefits of algorithmic decision-making and minimize harmful outcomes, while also ensuring laws that apply to human decisions can be effectively applied to algorithmic decisions.

Home State California "Predictive Policing in California" – Are YOU a Future Criminal?
"Predictive Policing in California" – Are YOU a Future Criminal?
April 24, 2019 by L.A. Paredes
Those who joke about comparing Senator Jackson's SB 55 to the movie Minority Report might need to rethink a few things. Was it really simply a science fiction thriller and are "pre-crime" theories just a fantasy? Like it or not, there's some unnerving technology out there that brings Tom Cruise's futuristic movie into a frightening focus – and far closer to reality than we want.
Regardless of the chilling constitutional (civil rights, 2nd Amendment) consequences, California is ready to jump into such an existence with SB 55 by creating a new class of non-violent misdemeanors that would result in a 10-year prohibition on firearms possession. The key theory is that firearm injury and death will be reduced if guns are kept out of the hands of people who, based on their condition or past behavior, are determined to be at risk of future acts of violence.
In other words, even if you have never committed an act of violence, the state can yank your rights because of what they THINK you MIGHT do. And if you think this is not already happening around the world, think again.
In 2017, two German filmmakers released a documentary (that would mean non-fiction) that illustrates just how law enforcement currently uses data to shadow potential offenders who've not broken any law…yet. The movie shows how police departments, in Europe and the USA have actually teamed up with private companies to utilize publicly available data, personal information and algorithms to predict who is most likely to commit a crime and where it is most likely to happen. Titled "Pre-Crime," directors Matthias Heeder and Monika Hielscher were interviewed by Salon, a leftist online publication where they pulled "the curtain back on the predictive policing system that London authorities call — believe it or not — 'the Matrix'."
The following are selected responses to Salon's Q & A:
So, what is "pre-crime"? "Pre-crime" is a reference to a Hollywood movie called "Minority Report" in which people are arrested for crimes they have not committed yet.
And how did you come to this subject? … There was a small article in the newspaper about the Chicago "heat list" in 2013. We once had lists in Nazi Germany — lists with names. Those lists were made by humans. Now we have lists made by computers. Our reaction to the article was that the world of fiction is now reality. We started developing this idea and saw that the U.S. roll-out is very hidden whereas in Germany we have these programs as well but it's much more public and transparent. The way Chicago is handling its program is just not possible in Germany.
So what is happening? There's a list in Chicago with 1,500 people on it. They are under surveillance by the police who say, "We know you are in danger of committing a crime. There is a special algorithm that calculates the risk of you committing a crime."
What determines who's on the list? Nobody knows. There is no public discussion. It was developed by Miles Wernick at the Illinois Institute of Information and Technology. No one knows how the data is compiled.
It's disturbing that the programs are so secret. Yes, but not just that. We are generating lists from algorithms and there is no control about the quality of the data. In London they have what's called "the Matrix" database for gang violence. But no one knows how the data is entering the system, how it is being made. For example, if a guy is smoking on the street and is arrested by a police officer, it's suddenly in the Matrix. But for what? But now it's there.
According to the filmmakers, there are predictive police programs in Fresno, Philadelphia, Chicago, and in England, Kent and London, which are featured in the film
Whether it's George Orwell's 1984 or Steven Spielberg's Minority Report – neither are how freedom-loving Americans want to live. SB 55 passed Senate Public Safety and is currently on the Appropriations Suspense File, which means it has a hefty taxpayer price tag, and will be brought up again in May. Let's hope it stays there.

Download the June CSA Update (PDF, 179KB)
The complaints handling advisory group held its annual 'Improving Complaints Handling' event in April. Delegates were updated on the key findings of the sector's complaints performance for 2014-15. It was recognised that learning from complaints, and the ability to demonstrate this learning, should be a priority area for the sector moving forward.
Delegates also enjoyed a presentation on the advisory group's work on developing standardised complaints categories for colleges. It was agreed that the sector would move to adopt the standardised categories from the start of the next academic year. Other sessions included case studies on complaints management processes and an update on measuring and driving improvements through customer satisfaction feedback.
A further session featured 'An Introduction to the Complaints Improvement Framework'. Edinburgh College reported that they had trialled the framework to better understand their complaints handling performance. As a result the college developed a complaints improvement plan. Delegates then participated in workshops to consider the six areas of good practice to identify the priority areas to be addressed by the advisory group over the next year.
Feedback on the event was extremely positive in respect of the excellent work this network is doing to identify and share best practices in complaints handling. We encourage any college that wants to know more about the advisory group to contact us at CSA@spso.org.uk
The housing complaints handlers network next meets on 22 July in Glasgow. Members will be updated on the findings of the previous two quarters' complaints performance information. This will allow for the benchmarking of performance to improve service delivery.
The network will also look at the categories of complaints currently recorded by member associations. The intention is to replicate the work of the further education advisory group to arrive at a standardised set of complaint categories that may be used by Registered Social Landlords. Members will also consider the current approach to seeking customer feedback on the complaints procedure to learn from one another and to identify opportunities to improve the way in which this feedback is captured.
The local government complaints handlers network met in June. Members enjoyed a presentation from Patient Opinion/Care Opinion. Patient Opinion is about honest and meaningful conversations between patients and health services. The basic principle is that people share their story of using a health service online. The story is sent to staff in the appropriate organisation so that they may learn from the experience. Care Opinion in Scotland adopts a similar approach to telling stories through a website where service users and carers can safely share their experience of care at registered care providers. Knowledge of this resource was felt to be particularly valuable to those organisations providing integrated care services.
We presented a session on the forthcoming changes in respect of social work complaints and responded to questions about how the changes would impact on local authorities. Other sessions included an examination of how well prepared the network is to face future challenges, and discussions on the priorities for the network over the next year.
Members unanimously agreed to a proposal that the network be co-chaired by South Lanarkshire Council and Fife Council. Members also acknowledged the need to provide additional support to the network in relation to the administration and facilitation of meetings.
Our work to develop a revised NHS model complaints handling procedure (CHP) continues to make good progress. The project is led by a steering group (chaired by CSA) and supported by three discrete working groups, each tasked with developing key parts of the revised procedure. These are the CHP development group; the data recording and reporting group; and the learning and training group.
The June meeting of the steering group considered outputs of each working group. The draft model CHP and supporting documents, together with the final reports from the data recording and reporting group and the learning and training group, were agreed by the steering group. We will now work closely with the Scottish Government to prepare the draft procedure for publication. We will also engage with NHS Education Scotland (NES) through the learning and training group to provide a program of activities to support NHS organisations as we move towards planning for the implementation phase. The NHS model CHP will be implemented by NHS Scotland from April 2017.
SPSO Training Events
Upcoming courses (all based in central Edinburgh)
Complaint investigation skills (stage 2 of the model CHP) 1-day open course
Managing Difficult Behaviour
These are open to staff from all sectors under the SPSO's jurisdiction.

This is my Godmother. She's not the one I was given when I was christened as a baby. That was Aunt Louise, who was a lovely person, I'm sure, although I don't really know because I never really knew her.
Joan Santomenna is the mother God gave me when I was 14 years old. My dearly loved Mommy was sick all of my life and really incapable of taking proper care of me as I entered adolescence.
I came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ in Joan and Rol's livingroom. She guided me around, and sometimes through, the pitfalls of teenage life. And at the center of every conversation was Jesus. The answer to every question was the Lord. Every situation, every dilemma was brought before the throne of God. That's not to say that I was always prepared, or that life always flowed and there were never any waves. But she always reminded me to turn to the Lord with any problem.
Two years ago Joan treated her husband, my beloved Rol, to a cruise through the Panama Canal. Having been through a difficult health situation, she asked me to paint a cane for her to use on the voyage.
Leaning On The Promises, hand painted puzzle canes.
What a lovely tribute, Judy. She sounds like quite a blessing. You turned out pretty darned good so I'd say they did alright by you Miss Judy. Your canes are a very nice accessory.
Your painted canes are beautiful, and so is the story of your godmother. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all adolescents had someone like that in their lives?
What a sweet story...Thank you for sharing it...your canes are so unique and beautiful!
The story of your Godmother and how your canes came to be gives them all the more meaning.I admire your detailed art on them.

Mediastinitis continues to be an important and life-threatening complication after median sternotomy despite advances in prevention and treatment strategies, with an incidence of 0.25-5%. It can also occur as extension of infection from adjacent structures such as the oesophagus, airways and lungs, or as descending necrotizing infection from the head and neck. In addition, there is a chronic form of 'chronic fibrosing mediastinitis' usually caused by granulomatous infections. In this expert consensus, the evidence for strategies for treatment and prevention of mediatinitis is reviewed in detail aiming at reducing the incidence and optimizing the management of this serious condition.

Today I turn 31 one years old. Crazy! I like to think I am like a red wine and get better with age, but I guess it depends who you are asking. 21 year old Jen would be proud of where I am today, but would think I was totally uncool. She'd laugh at my early bed time and my lack of party days, but she would definitely say…."you are doing exactly what you wanted to do. You finally made it!" Happy Birthday to me!
It's hard to believe that last year I had my little Christian in my belly on my birthday. Many of my friends had parties to celebrate their birthdays, but all I wanted to do was to go away with the Captain and that's exactly what we did to celebrate my 30th birthday.
This year when Captain Awesome asked what I wanted to do? I told him I wanted Friendly's for dinner, and a picnic with him and my boy. Pretty simple right? Pretty simple, but it sounded just perfect. Yes I could've had someone watch my son and go out to a fancy dinner with my man…but it just didn't feel right. I wanted to celebrate with my little guy too. So against Captain Awesome's better judgment (he hates Friendlys) we are going to Friendlys. Then Saturday we are taking a trip out to the vinyards to have a picnic. Our little family and some friends. What a wonderful birthday!
So I am officially 31 years old. The next few months are tough because Captain Awesome is still 29…so I am pretty much robbing the cradle. But I am so happy with my life, and as always I feel like a lucky girl. I have the the most wonderful son, the best husband, an amazing dog, and the most supportive family. The year ahead has so many big adventures. Being 31 is pretty great!
Happy birthday! I bet 31 is going to treat you great. It sounds like a fun year!


With the realization that trail planning was done agency by agency with little communication among them, the East Mountain Regional Trail Council was founded in 2008 to bring agencies and advocates together to plan a network of connected recreational trails.
Participants include Sandia District U.S. Forest Service, Santa Fe County Open Space Division, Bernalillo County Open Space Division, City of Albuquerque Open Space Division, State Land Office, N.M. DOT, Town of Edgewood Parks and Recreation, Taos Field Office BLM, and Rio Puerco Field Office BLM.
The council's East Mountain region encompasses nearly 400 square miles, bounded by the south flanks of the Ortiz Mountains on the north, Isleta Pueblo on the south, the east flanks of the Sandia Mountains on the west, and Highway 344 on the east.
Over the past seven years, the group has provided constructive input to 15-year re-plans of the USFS, Bernalillo County, Taos Field Office BLM, and Rio Puerco Field Office BLM. The council is currently working with Santa Fe County Open Space to plan a trail head in the San Pedro Mountains.

It is incumbent upon history to render her aid in paying a debt to those characters which America cannot pay.
Whilst the Marquis de la Fayette was on his late visit to this country he suggested to me that if I could recollect that aim of his military proceedings and commit them into paper, that you would send them to Doctor Gordon, who was engaged in writing a history of the revolution; at least so I understood him on this Strike-through text occasion, for it being delicate I did not seek explanation. --My desire that the military and patriotic proceedings of the Marquis may be truly stated by the Doctor, has been a further in-ducement with me to execute his wish notwithstanding it interfered with my other avocations.

What kicked me in the rump to get this next part up was a few more questions about driver writing, WDK integration into Visual Studio and Intellisense. One of the very cool features of Visual Studio 2008 is the ability to make a project from existing code.
Select "Finish" from here. We're still not going to use Visual Studio to do any building for now, partly because I refuse to give up all command windows in my life and also because I'm still tinkering with all the settings required to use the WDK build environments under Visual Studio.
Now your Solution Explorer will probably look like a mess of files listed alphabetically. Simply hover over the "Show All Files" button at the top and toggle it until you get an Explorer like layout of the samples sources structure.

Report shows California's 296 suburban districts are diverse and varied

A report this week on the state's 296 suburban school districts refutes the notion that they're homogenous and largely white enclaves. Data show that overall they reflect the state's diversity, but defy generalizations because individually they vary greatly in demographics, wealth and academic achievement.
The report, "Beyond the White Picket Fence: A Picture of Suburban Schools in California," was written by Sherry Reed of the California Education Lab at UC Davis. Suburban districts are generally located within a large metropolitan area but outside of a principal city.
There are 2.6 million students in 4,266 suburban schools, compared with 2.8 million students in 4,450 urban school;
Students in suburban districts are racially and ethnically diverse: 52% of students are Latinos, compared with 55% statewide; 24% White (22% statewide), 10% Asian American (9% statewide) and 5% are Black (5% statewide);
Suburban districts as a whole are wealthier: 55% of students qualify for free or reduced price school meals, compared with 62% of urban students and 59% of rural students.
Overall numbers, however, mask differences:
In one-quarter of suburban districts, nearly 75% of all students are eligible for free and reduced-price meals;
In 15% of suburban districts the rates of student homelessness are more than double the statewide rate of 3.2%;
In about 10% of suburban districts, more than one-third of students are English learners compared with 19% statewide;
Third-graders meeting or exceeding standards on the Smarter Balanced tests range from 8% in English language arts and 12% in math in a small Central Valley district to 93% for English language arts and 96% in math in a Santa Barbara County district.
Reed concludes that false perceptions of homogeneity and wealth in suburban districts may divert attention and resources from suburban districts. "Our outdated perceptions of suburban America may result in unintentional neglect of the over 2.6 million students living in suburban areas," the report concludes.

In 2007 Collins and Turner were shortlisted in the 2nd Living Steel International competition for sustainable housing for a site in Recife, Brazil.
The brief for the project was to provide forty eight 50sqm 2 bedroom units on a brownfield site, for a construction budget of US$300/sqm.
Construction system utilising on-site and unskilled labour where possible.
The facades are expressed as a patchwork of solid and perforated galvanised steel mesh screens which provide shade, privacy and security. Other environmental initiatives include the integration of a cooling labyrinth below the building as part of a passive cooling system, as well as extensive use of solar energy.

Carefully chosen collection contains 34 of Carroll's most appealing verses — nonsense verse, parodies, burlesques, more — including such unforgettable pieces as "The Walrus and the Carpenter," "The Mock Turtle's Song," and "Father William," as well as such lesser-known gems as "My Fancy," "A Sea Dirge," "Brother and Sister," "Hiawatha's Photographing," "The Mad Gardener's Song," "What Tottles Meant," "Poeta Fit, non Nascitur," "The Little Man That Had a Little Gun," and many others.
Mathematician, author, photographer, and artist, Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 1832-1898) is best known as the creator of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but he was also a prolific poet. Over the course of almost 50 years, he created 150 poems, including nonsense verse, parodies, burlesques, acrostics, inscriptions, and more, many of them hilarious lampoons of some of the more sentimental and moralistic poems of the Victorian era.
This carefully chosen collection contains 38 of Carroll's most appealing verses, including such classics as "The Walrus and the Carpenter," "The Mock Turtle's Song," and "Father William," plus such lesser-known gems as "My Fancy," "A Sea Dirge," "Brother and Sister," "Hiawatha's Photographing," "The Mad Gardener's Song," "What Tottles Meant," "Poeta Fit, non Nascitur," "The Little Man That Had a Little Gun," and many others.
Filled with Carroll's special brand of imaginative whimsy and clever wordplay, this original anthology will delight fans of the author as well as other readers who relish a little laughter with their lyrics.

Lewis Carroll (1832-98) was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking Glass, are rich repositories of his sparkling gifts for wordplay, logic, and fantasy.

Meghan Markle takes legal steps to stop Prince Harry from being deposed
Meghan Markle is attempting to block her half-sister from deposing her husband Prince Harry and father Thomas Markle in her defamation lawsuit.
by DC Content Team
Samantha Markle is suing Meghan over her now-infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, as well as the material published in the Finding Freedom biography.
Samantha's lawyers had confirmed that they want to depose Thomas between 5 and 21 October, and also wish to depose Prince Harry, and Oprah, for their testimony – Newsweek reports.
But Meghan's legal team has hit back. They have requested a judge stop the process of collecting and releasing evidence until a ruling on whether the lawsuit should be entirely thrown out.
They argue that Meghan's statements about her relationship with Samantha are "non-actionable opinions that are also substantially true".
Deposition of Mr. Markle at this juncture, along with other discoveries, would be an unnecessary spectacle and waste of the parties time, money, and resources," their filing read, via the publication.
"[Samantha Markle] should not be permitted to force Meghan and, potentially, numerous nonparties to devote substantial resources to extraneous discovery while a meritorious motion that could dispose of the entire case is pending."
The filing continued: "As discussed below, discovery, in this case, should be stayed pending resolution of the Motion to Dismiss because (1) the Motion is clearly meritorious and will dispose of the case; (2) a brief stay of discovery will not prejudice or harm [Samantha Markle]; and (3) discovery will harm Meghan, other non-parties, the Court, and the interests protected by the First Amendment."
It also stated: "In addition to the parties, she [Samantha] identified a whopping 19 non-party witnesses, including Prince Harry, Meghan's mother, Oprah Winfrey, and several journalists/media personalities who reside in the United Kingdom, including Scobie and Durand, the authors of Finding Freedom."
