Charles John Berg, 85, passed away on Thursday, February 22, 2018 in Harrodsburg. Charles was born on February 17, 1933 to the late William Francis and Jennie Isabel (Kendall) Berg in Fredonia NY. He was married to Arlene Vivian Bulla in Scotia NY on August 25, 1956. He spent his childhood years among many relatives and working at the family store. After graduating from Fredonia High School he attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in their intern program. He graduated from the University of Buffalo as an industrial engineer. He worked at The Carborundum Company in Niagara Falls NY for 30 years with his final years there as quality control manager. During those 30 years Chuck and Arlene raised their three children in Tonawanda. The family enjoyed a vacation trip each summer around the states and Canada. Chuck and Arlene enjoyed the theater and orchestral season in Buffalo. They were involved with local school committees to evaluate and suggest various educational improvements. Chuck also worked with the local Boy Scouts. Chuck and Arlene relocated to Danville KY in 1987 for a change of scenery and new employment at Allison Abrasives. He was hired as quality control manager and assisted in the plant relocation to Lancaster KY. Chuck was so glad they relocated to Danville with its welcoming community, activities, and shorter winters. He was an active member of the Friends of the Library and attended many of the library's events. He was an active member and on the board of the West T. Hill Community Theatre. He enjoyed many Centre College events and the Brass Band festivals. He was a member of study groups where he greatly enjoyed the exchange of various viewpoints. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his sister, Mary Elizabeth Lesch and brother-in-law, Robert N Lesch; a nephew; and many cousins, aunts, and uncles.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years; two sons, Charles John (Jennifer) Berg and Eric Stuart (Margo) Berg; one daughter, Kimberly Jeanne (Richard) Sylvester; five grandchildren; one great grandchild; and two nephews. The family greatly appreciates the services and caring provided by Heritage Hospice, the staff at Harrodsburg Health & Rehabilitation Center, and special family friend Barbara.
There will be a Memorial Service at a later date.

This is a rare event similar to "Battle of Kruger".
This took place at the Telia Lake inTadoba NP.
Here two tigresses Lakshmi & Madhuri (mother and daughter) cornered a huge male sambar near telia lake and stalked and chased the sambar for whole 24hrs.
The huge male Sambar entered the lake several times where he was stalked by a croc.
Finally the tigresses were successful in bringing down the big male.
An Indian Gaur was found dead just outside Kaanakara forests under Sathyamangalam range on Monday. According to forest officials, the gaur was chased out of the forest limits by a tiger before killing it. As it was an area with human presence, the tiger left the carcass behind after eating a small portion of the flesh and reentered the forests.
An autopsy was conducted and the body was later charred to ashes. "As the gaur was killed outside the forests and that too in a village, tigers may not eat it. So we decided to burn the carcass,'' said Erode Forest Conservator D Arun.
This is the second gaur to be killed in the Sathyamangalam forests in the last two weeks. Another gaur was killed when a speeding vehicle knocked it down at the Hassanur-Thalavadi route two weeks ago.
Home to a large number of elephants and gaurs, Erode forests reported many wildlife casualties in the recent past. It was only last week, one elephant was found dead in Bejaletti area. The total jumbo deaths in the district over the last 10 years are 298.
During January, carcasses of four elephants were found in three forest ranges in the district.

Could the industrial revolution have happened in Hellenistic Alexandria?
One of my favorite scientists in history is Hero of Alexandria, who invented a variety of clever mechanical devices in the first century AD, long before their economic potential was realized. Included among them are the steam engine, wind power, mechanical "computer programs", and a sort of vending machine. It seems to me that if his ideas were taken seriously they could have triggered an industrial revolution centuries early, and I'm wondering why this didn't happen.
One explanation that I've heard is that the economy at the time relied heavily on slave labor and hence there was little demand for efficient industrial processes, but somehow this seems unsatisfactory. If nothing else, were military applications of this technology not explored? This question may call for a bit more speculation than may be desired, but I would be interested if anyone can comment on aspects of the historical context which mitigated the impact of Hero's discoveries.

$\begingroup$ By the way, this is the site's 100th question. $\endgroup$ – HDE 226868♦ Nov 6 '14 at 23:53
This is a very interesting question which occupied me for a long time. I agree with L. Russo that a "scientific revolution" really happened in Hellenistic Greece. It actually happened 2 centuries before the time of Hero, at the time of the first Ptolemy's. Hero himself was probably not a great inventor, he is famous mostly because his book survived. Unlike the books of great scientists of the previous epoch. The fact is that scientific revolution started and finished in the period of less than 200 years. At the time of Hero science in Alexandria was already in a deep decline (if you compare with the period 200 years before).
There is no clear explanation why this happened, but this story shows that for an industrial revolution, scientific revolution is not sufficient. One needs some social conditions for an industrial revolution, and these were not present at that time.
Scientific inventions (of the time BEFORE Hero, when the true scientific revolution happened) were actually used in technology, especially in the military technology. Advanced military engines, enormous ships were built in the Hellenistic era. (See "Helepolis", "Leonrophoros", "Greek and Roman artillery" in Wikipedia, as some notable examples). But only scattered hints of this remain in the surviving literature.
It is true that decline of science and technology coincided with the time of the Roman conquest. But I am not sure that the Roman conquest was the real reason of this. (If the Hellenistic society were an industrialized society, how would the Romans conquer it?) Another thing is that the Romans borrowed and adopted almost all Hellenistic culture, why did not they adopt also the science and technology? The Romans annexed Egypt shortly before the time when Hero lived. Science was already in decline.
The school of Alexandria was not destroyed by the Romans, it existed for several centuries after the Roman conquest, and in the second century AD it produced Ptolemy, who lived in the times of Trajan, and in the 3-d century there was Diophantus. Science in Alexandria completely disappeared only with the spread of Christianity. This shows that the Romans did not "eliminate" or prosecute Science, they tolerated it. They just did not care about it.
This is really strange. There were many well-educated Romans, some of them even wrote on science (Pliny, Strabo, Plutarchus), but they were not interested in doing it! You cannot find any true mathematicians or astronomers in the whole history of Rome, though there were certainly some engineers. (Of course, Ptolemy lived in the Roman empire, and probably was a Roman citizen, but nobody counts him as a "Roman").
The short period of explosive development of technology ended a generation before Hero. (And there was apparently a short revival about 100 years later, I mean Ptolemy). And on my opinion, the reason why science did not lead to a real industrial revolution lies somewhere in the social organization of society. Whether this was slavery or not, I am not sure. But it looks like "capitalism" is a necessary prerequisite for a true industrial revolution:-)
EDIT. On my opinion, another good example, that great scientific discoveries do not necessary lead to industrial revolutions, is the history of science in China. The ancient Chinese invented paper, and according to some sources, even the printing press. This on my opinion is a much greater invention than a steam engine. Printing was invented in Europe in 15 century, and look at the consequences! And compare them to the consequences of these inventions in China. Same in the military area: the Chinese invented gunpowder and rockets, and probably guns. And what happened to all this artillery when the Europeans arrived to the Far east? Chinese had to adopt European technology. There are many examples like this. The military of Byzantine empire was probably very advanced. They had advanced ships and they had this mysterious "Greek fire". But they were defeated by a less technologically advanced civilization, and all their inventions were forgotten. I think something similar happened to the Hellenistic civilization.
Alexandre EremenkoAlexandre Eremenko
$\begingroup$ Awesome. This is the kind of answer I was hoping for. $\endgroup$ – HDE 226868♦ Nov 6 '14 at 20:37
Lucio Russo contends in his The Forgotten Revolution that a revolution could have been happened in the early Hellenistic period, that Romans destroyed this (seeing no obvious advantage: even the description of Archimedes' works in Syracuse was added later and seen more as a mythical history) and that the works of Hero were just a copy of what was made two centuries earlier. This would explain why his machines were mostly toys.
I don't buy all the theses of Russo, but if you are interested in that period of history it is worth a serious reading.

Statistics show that the average household spends 12-14% of their income on food. My question to you is how much of that food is wasted? Since being frugal is about being economical and not wasting, I thought we should start our households off being frugal with food and knowing what we have already.
We can't go on to making grocery lists, menu planning, stocking up on sale items, and not having to throw food out, without knowing what we have already. So here is your project for this week, if you choose to accept it: we are going to take inventory from everything in your cupboards, your cold room, your fridge. Items you'll need: forms that you can print off on the links below from OrganizedHome.com, sheet protectors, pen and a washable or dry erase marker.
Now after you have the forms printed off and you have your pen handy let's head to your cupboards and your pantries. I have a separate form for upstairs in my cupboard and downstairs where I have my extra food. Someday I may show you a picture of downstairs. Start with a cupboard and write down the items there in pen on the sheet. Place the sheet in the protector and write down how many items you have on the sheet with your marker. A line going one way through the box shows what you have. Once you have used it place a line the other way to form an X. After you have done your cupboards and pantry, check out your cold room/fridge (larder form) and your freezers. I have one for upstairs fridge freezer and downstairs big freezer. This is the beginning of your frugal food. Stay tuned for the next step. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think or if you decide to do this and how it went!
Have a different way of knowing what's in your home? Let us know! What works for one, doesn't always work for everyone else.

Causes of visual loss in patients with uveitis
Kabasele, P; (2013) Causes of visual loss in patients with uveitis. Doctoral thesis (PhD), UCL (University College London).
Kabasele_ THESIS_FINAL.pdf
The last major study of causes of vision loss in 600 eyes with uveitis was published over 10 years ago and there have been many advances in treatment over this time. In this thesis I undertook a study of 1594 patients (2593 eyes) with uveitis currently attending the clinic, 75% of whom were aged between 24 and 63 years. The type of uveitis, sight threatening complications that developed and treatment were followed from presentation to final follow up. At presentation, 16% of eyes had BCVA ≤ 6/18 (e.g. 6/18-6/36) and 14% of affected eyes had BCVA 6/60 or worse. At one year follow-up, we found 11% of eyes with vision loss to 6/18-6/36 and 8% of eyes with severe visual loss or blindness. In the group of eyes followed up for 10 years or more, 19% developed severe visual loss or blindness and 16% developed vision loss to 6/18-6/36. Chronic macular damage was the main cause of visual loss, accounting for both for visual impairment and for severe visual loss, accounting for 41% and 36% respectively. Cystoid macular oedema accounted for 29% in visual impairment and 19% in severe visual loss or blindness. When classified by uveitis types, CMO was the main cause of vision loss in intermediate uveitis (38%), glaucoma was the leading cause in anterior uveitis (32%), and chronic macular damage accounted for 46% in posterior/panuveitis. Additionally, I looked at the outcome and subsequent impact on vision of ocular surgery for cataract, glaucoma and vitreo-retinal procedures. Visual prognosis after cataract surgery was favourable in anterior and intermediate uveitis. Eyes which underwent glaucoma surgery had vision stabilised or slightly improved over time. The mean log MAR BCVA prior to glaucoma surgery was 0.53+/- 60, and 0.31+/- 49 at final follow-up visit. (P= 0.012). There was no statistically significant improvement in visual acuity in eyes which had undergone vitreo-retinal procedures. The mean logMAR BCVA were 1.1+/-0.82 and 0.87+/-0.80 respectively pre-operative and at last post- op visit. (P=0.28) The 3rd main results chapter looks at patients presenting with retinal vasculitis who had ischemia and the long term outcome for these eyes. Of the 106 eyes which developed ischemia, 24% had vision loss to 6/18-6/36 at presentation, 23% of these had BCVA 6/60 or worse. Chronic macular damage was the main cause of visual impairment and accounted for 36%, macular ischemia accounted for 67% of severe visual loss or blindness. I found that in most eyes with ischemia, visual loss developed early in the first 5 years and do not worsen with time.

Markets Today: Down down (prices are down)
So it is that following yesterday's CPI report, NAB altered its 3 May RBA call to now expect a 25bs reduction in the Cash Rate (to 1.75%).
I was hoping never to have to resort to Status Quo's only UK No.1 hit for a title, even more so it's tortured mangling into a commercial for a major Australian supermarket chain. But sometime, as the saying goes, 'if the cap fit, wear it'.
So it is that following yesterday's CPI report, NAB altered its 3 May RBA call to now expect a 25bs reduction in the Cash Rate (to 1.75%), seeing little risk in taking advantage of the extraordinarily low CPI (in fact, at an average of 1.55% for the two underlying measures, the lowest rate in the history of RBA inflation targeting). Market pricing as of last night's close sits at about 50:50 for a 3 May cut. AUD/USD has lost another quarter of a cent on its Sydney closing level (to near 0.7575 from around 0.7600, having been as low as 0.7550 immediately post-Fed). Further falls in iron ore prices – off another $1.69 to $61.09 and nearly $10 off last week's highs – have not gone unnoticed.
As for the Fed, they have just come and gone to very limited fanfare. Concerns about international development were dialled down from being a 'risk' in March to now merely being 'taken into account'. Slower growth, specifically in household spending, was acknowledged and as will be evident in tonight's Q1 GDP report, though labour market improvements were re-instated to first place in the Fed's word-ordering. The March acknowledgement of higher inflation was dropped in favour of 'inflation has continued to run below the Committee's 2% longer-run objective'.
As for market reactions, US bond yields and the dollar underwent knee jerk moves higher on the dialling down of international concerns, before being fully unwound (and then some) in the case of bond yields. In index terms the dollar is now virtually flat to pre-FOMC levels. Equities liked the ongoing relaxed attitude of the Fed statement. After a very momentary dip, the S&P rallied by 0.7% to 2100 before giving back about a third of those gains into the close.
Post-Fed, we remain comfortable with our view for them not moving rates up at least until July, bearing in mind the UK EU referendum that falls a week after the mid-June FOMC – however much 'Brexit' risk is seen to have diminished in recent days. Gavin Friend's post FOMC write-up is included below.
The RBNZ has just delivered a 'no change' decision (2.25%) OCR decision, in line with the consensus view (we had been just in favour) of a cut. The easing bias is retained as is the stated desirability of a weaker NZD. This hasn't prevented the NZD from quickly adding a cent to its pre-RBNZ levels.
Three down (local CPI, Fed and RBNZ) one to go (Bank of Japan). The ANZAC-shorted week to date has been anything but dull, and such is the uncertainty surrounding what the BoJ will or will not do today that it could well be a lively afternoon, in FX-land at least. The BoJ should announce its latest decision 30 minutes or so one side or the other of 2:00pm AEDT on past form, though such is the potential complexity of today's announcement it could well come later rather than sooner.
We look for the BoJ to announce an increase in the target for its 'QQE' asset purchases from the current ¥80tn. annual rate (to as much as ¥100tn.) and which will likely include increased buying of ETFs (equity derivatives) from the current 3.3tn annual rate to as much as ¥7tn. The deposit rate is only likely to be cut further (we expect to -0.2% from -0.1%) in conjunction with a scheme that will effectively allow Japanese banks to get paid to borrow from the BoJ. This is crucial if bank stocks – and with that the broader equity market – is to take a new BoJ easing programme well. In turn, this is crucial to the fate of all things Yen. If stocks like what they hear today, chances are the yen will weaken.
Before the BoJ, we'll get the end of month slug of Japan March data, covering CPI, industrial production, household spending and retail sales. The BoJ's currently preferred CPI ex food and energy measures is expected to be unchanged at +0.8% Y/Y but just 0.3% (also unchanged) in Tokyo – which leads the nationwide series by a month.
Australian has Q1 trade prices (NAB forecasts export prices to be -2.9% and imports prices -1.3%, implying a softer terms of trade in Q1 and so highlighting a disconnect between the (much) stronger AUD since January and the (weaker) terms of trade. There is also NAB's on-line retail index and its latest commercial property survey.
The data action continues offshore with German preliminary CPI (and where the EU harmonized measure is seen falling back to 0.0% from 0.1%) and US Q1 GDP – latter expected at 0.6% (annualized rate).
On global stock markets, the S&P 500 was +0.20%. Bond markets saw US 10-years -7.63bp to 1.85%. On commodity markets, Brent crude oil +3.15% to $47.18, gold+0.6% to $1,249, iron ore -2.7% to $61.09. AUD is at 0.7595 and the range was 0.7576 to 0.7606.

Why do UK manufacturers waste so much of their data?
Industrial Data Summit: Why does UK manufacturing waste so much of its data? – image courtesy of Depositphotos.
These questions are very much front of mind among the business leaders The Manufacturer has spoken to as part of its research for Industrial Data Summit (18 April, London).
Some of the feedback we've received from some of the UK's biggest manufacturers is very revealing.
For example, Andrew Carroll, head of manufacturing engineering A350 at Airbus, said he wants to understand how other manufacturers gather data, turn data into value-add, and the best process for deciding which data to collect.
Chief engineer of BAE Maritime, Andrew Carr shared his perspective, noting that he was interested in understanding the difficulties in collecting data across diverse system, as well as the opportunities, issues and vulnerabilities in the cyber security domain.
While there is clearly agreement on the importance of tackling UK manufacturing's data challenge – there is not a one-size-fits-all, off-the-shelf solution, which is why we expect the conversations at Industrial Data Summit to be so interesting.
As the country's largest gathering of data-minded manufacturing professionals – with 100+ manufacturers in the room, we're excited to hear what the answers are to these questions and many more.
If you are interested in joining your peers for these conversations, you can see the full line up of speakers and discussion topics in the conference agenda which you can download here. We're confident that we will find the answers we need in the conference!
Why: Industrial Data Summit is the UK's largest gathering of data professionals – 120 data-minded executives from the UK's largest automotive, aerospace, defence, electronics, pharma, and food, coming together to talk about the role of big data in their businesses.
Who: CDOs, CIOs, CTOs, and Heads of Operations, Manufacturing, Engineering and/or Production.

Lake made her mark as one of the first artists in Canada to combine performance, video, and photography in order to examine the politics of gender, the body, and identity. Her critique of the male gaze and constructions of femininity have had a lasting impact on the discourse and narratives of performance photography. Working as early as 1968-1969, Lake influenced many of her contemporaries including renowned artists such as Cindy Sherman, Martha Wilson, and Mary Beth Edelson to name a few. Lake's hyphenated identity as an American-Canadian woman artist working in performance photography meant that for decades her contributions remained in the periphery of the art world. It is only in the last decade that her work is being fully recognized and acknowledged through exhibitions such as 2005 Venice Biennale, WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution (LA MOCA and tour, 2007-2008), Global Feminisms (2007), at the Brooklyn Museum, and her major retrospective, Introducing Suzy Lake (Art Gallery of Ontario, 2014).
Lake was born and raised in Detroit. She grew up on the eastside of the city, on Washtenaw Avenue, near Gratiot Avenue and 7 Mile Road. Her great-grandparents immigrated to the area from Germany and were tradesmen by profession. Her father, Robert Marx was a roofer and sheet metal worker, whose metal shop was located at Mack and Van Dyke Avenues, which used to be the heart of Germantown. Her mother Helen Marx was a housewife who stayed home to look after the family. Lake attended Wayne State University (1966-1968) where she took her first art classes and was politically active in the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements. Along with fellow students, she participated in community actions and events that addressed socio-political inequities and the lack of social services accessible to black families in Detroit. In 1968, Lake was part of a large wave of Americans who moved to Canada due to their opposition to the Vietnam War. She ended up in Montreal where in 1971 she was a founding member of Véhicule Art Inc, one of the first artist-run galleries in Canada. In her newly adopted home, she started created seminal works exploring role playing and staging performances for the camera to examine representations of the body and femininity in mass media. She completed her MFA at Concordia University in 1977 and moved to Toronto, where she taught at the University of Guelph from 1988 to 2004.
The exhibition Suzy Lake brings together two major bodies of work from the last decade in which she encounters various sites of personal and ancestral significance. Performing an Archive (2013-2014) emerged from Lake's desire to pay homage to her family history and the city of Detroit, which played a critical role in her formation as an artist and citizen. In this series, the artist (re-) visited 30 locations across Detroit where her family members lived and worked between 1880 and 1925. Lake performs in each of these photographs dressed in what appears to be a 1950s-era nurse uniform. She bears witness to the cycle of Detroit's urban transformation as she returns to these spaces. Her photographs resist the simplistic and oversaturated representation of the city's decline and revitalization. Rather, by inserting her body within these cityscapes, four decades after she left her hometown, she builds complex and ambivalent narratives that mark the passage of time and the evolution of place. She portrays her herself with her back to the audience, as if she is photographing the scene in front of her. While mimicking her real-life role as the researcher and photographer, in most of these images she denies the viewer access to her full frontal body. The stories that link Lake to these sites are missing. Similarly, we have fragmented and limited knowledge of the urban histories in Detroit. For example, Lake's Great Grandmother's house, 594 Sixth Street, Anna Hansmann-Marx, 1900, was demolished to make way for the Jefferies freeway, which cuts across the city. Similarly, stories of urban transformations were erased, forgotten and remain embedded in the soil. In Performing an Archive, Lake draws parallels between the cycles of life-death-birth of generations of family members with the cycles of urban decline and rejuvenation in Detroit. These performance photographs emanate an agency that pays tribute to the embodied knowledge and collective memories resonant within the built environment of the city.
With Extended Breathing, Lake deepens her exploration of the body and memory by shifting her focus inward to explore issues of aging and mortality. Shot in various known and unknown public locations, this work required her to stand still and simply breathe for an hour. Lake's blurred figure in these photographs is the result of the long exposures and the impossibility of remaining still for that long. The movement of her chest with every breath, and the gentle sway of her torso were recorded as traces, blurring her figure in the photograph. Meanwhile, her feet remained firmly grounded, which is reflected by its crisp depiction in the image. By setting up a long exposure Lake pushed the parameters of the analogue photographic image to rich painterly proportions. What started as a test of endurance became a meditative and contemplative experience as she stood with her feet firmly planted on the ground, looking back at the members of the public. In each of these images, her solo figure amidst different urban and rural settings is brimming with a quiet resilience and urgency to privilege ways of knowing that are experiential, intuitive, and transformative. Altogether, Suzy Lake, the exhibition builds powerful and multi-layered narratives that map her personal, ancestral histories and memories onto past and present-day cityscapes in Detroit and beyond. Her experiments in self-portraiture and performance blur the boundaries between the body and self, public and private, and personal and political.

Bithumb of South Korea Setting Up in London
"Bitsum is preparing to advance to Europe."
Simon Golstein | News ( CryptoCurrency ) | Thursday, 17/05/2018 | 14:52 GMT+1 2018-05-21 10:15:38

Bithumb is going to launch a trading platform in the UK, according to ZDNet Korea.
Bithumb is the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in South Korea and the sixth-biggest in the world, handling more than half a billion dollars in trading volume daily. We last reported on it when it de-listed a cryptocurrency after users discovered that some of the exchange's members of staff were suspiciously linked to it.
According to official documentation, Bithumb Europe was registered at Companies House in Cardiff on the 27th of February, with an office in City Road in Islington, London. It will be headed by a Mr. Rahul Khanna, who is a partner of a firm called Canary Asset Management.
Canaru Asset Management will own 20 percent of Bithumb Europe, and Bithumb the remaining 80 percent.
The platform will use the URL bithumb.uk. The site is not yet functional. The holdup may be the exchange's search for a compliance specialist:
Bithumb is expanding to Europe and looking for Head of Compliance
and AML, Legal Counsel and Customer Service Manager to be based in London,
apply here at hr@uk.bitcash.com
— Bithumb (@BithumbOfficial) May 9, 2018
Khanna first posted this advert on his Twitter page on the 12th of April.
A spokesman for BTC Korea.com, owner of Bithumb, said to ZDNet Korea (translated): "Bitsum [Bithumb] is preparing to advance to Europe."
London and cryptocurrency
London has been attracting a few cryptocurrency exchanges lately, in what could be a welcome trend given the concurrent exodus of traditional financial institutions to Europe.
Huobi, an exchange from Singapore, announced in April that it wants to set up in London because it reportedly has "the most active trading scene across all of Europe." Huobi handles almost $2 billion in trading daily, making it the third-largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world.
Chern Chung, Huobi's senior business development manager for Europe, said to Finance Magnates: "We envision the UK becoming a hotbed for cryptocurrency innovation, especially with the UK Finance Minister declaring his commitment to foster the growth of this sector…This news further affirms the inevitability of Huobi's presence in London, where we see massive potential for crypto to flourish."
Peng Hu, Vice President of the Huobi Group, added: "Absolutely London, more precisely Britain, is the entry point for the European market for us."
In May, Japanese goliath GMO Internet Group announced the June 2018 release of a cryptocurrency trading application for the UK (Pipster), albeit via a subsidiary of a subsidiary in partnership with the subsidiary of another Japanese company.
Meanwhile, indigenous venue London Block Exchange expanded its menu to include Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum Classic as a result of the keenness exhibited by Londoners for cryptocurrency trading – in fact, a recent survey of more than a thousand of them discovered that 14 percent had purchased cryptocurrency at some point, and 20 percent of those that hadn't are considering doing so. A majority expected the industry to grow in importance and value over the next few years.
Meanwhile, an organisation formed by British cryptocurrency businesses urged the government to regulate them formally to ensure their stability and protect customers.

Number of Ebola victims understated
Home › NEWS › Number of Ebola victims understated
The end of the outbreak is in sight, but the high human and economic costs are yet to be tallied.
Regional and world leaders have called on the international community to scale up their efforts to rebuild the nations devastated by Ebola amid fears that the death toll from the outbreak could be even higher than previously thought.
Although the epidemic, which has ravaged Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, appears to be drawing to a close, the secretary general of the Red Cross has warned that the true number of victims could be substantially greater than official estimates.
"Even though statistics show that over 9 000 people died of Ebola, our volunteers on the ground were called on to bury 14 000, which means that many more died from Ebola," Mohammed El-hadj Assy told a conference on the Ebola crisis in Brussels on Tuesday.
Despite a massive aid effort, the United Nations operation against the disease is still facing a $900-million shortfall. Less than half of the $5.1-billion pledged to counter the epidemic has so far been disbursed.
African Marshall Plan
The Liberian president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, said that recovery from the epidemic would require "significant resources, perhaps even a Marshall Plan", adding that "additional resources" would be needed from the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the African Development Bank.
The original suggestion for an African Marshall Plan had come from the World Bank but "we would like to conceptualize it a bit more", Johnson Sirleaf said. Primary healthcare systems might be one initial beneficiary.
New Ebola cases in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone are now falling – from around 600 a week to fewer than 100, according to the United Kingdom's international development secretary, Justine Greening. "I think the end is in sight," she said on the fringes of the meeting. "But the big challenge is getting down to zero. We have to make sure that complacency doesn't set in."
The former British foreign secretary and chief executive of the International Rescue Committee, David Miliband, said: "There's a real danger of a lost decade if the lessons locally and internationally are not learnt. We already have a lost year of schooling, of economic growth and of lost confidence so we must not be rose-tinted about the challenge over the next decade."
Despite a clear trend of declining Ebola cases, an April 15 deadline for eradicating the disease set by regional leaders is considered optimistic by many in the development community.
"It is not easy to aim at the zero target," Alpha Condé, the Guinean president, told the conference. "We will all have to scale up our efforts – and we will need all the help we can get."
Economic losses from the disease have also been enormous. The World Bank estimates lost gross domestic product growth in the previously dynamic economies of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone at $1.6-billion this year because of the disease. The wider regional costs could be as high as $6-billion.
In Liberia, where only one new Ebola case was reported last week, thousands of children have begun returning to school. But more than half of those schools have no water supply. And although 57% have a toilet, it is shared by 100 children on average.
Thousands of children left orphaned
Meanwhile, the devastating impact of the Ebola crisis was laid bare this week with a report showing that more than 12 000 children have been orphaned by the disease in Sierra Leone. They have been identified in the first national survey of orphans, which was conducted by the British charity Street Child. It says the future for these children is dire; many are living in fear without the support and security of parents. But the charity says there is hope "if the international aid community works together".
The charity found that some children, rejected by their friends because of the stigma of Ebola, have tried to take their own lives. Some girls are being forced into sex work to earn money for food their parents would previously have provided.
Street Child's case studies expose the vulnerability of those left behind without an adult for support.
One 17-year-old girl from Kailahun lost both parents and her 14-year-old brother, leaving her in charge of her twin brother and 11-year-old sister. During the 21-day quarantine period, one of the soldiers guarding the quarantined zone broke into her home and attempted to rape her.
"It is very striking that such a vulnerable child-headed family, living not in a rural location but in the second town of Sierra Leone, has received no external assistance – it shows the limit of the Ebola response to date," said Street Child, which recently came to her aid.
Another girl, identified as Mariatu, lost her father to Ebola. She has now joined her mother and eight younger siblings working in a quarry to feed themselves. She is also pregnant, and the father of her child is no longer around.
The average age of orphans is nine, the charity found, with 17% being looked after by a caregiver who is supporting five or more orphans.

Home Microsoft Teams Private Channels in Microsoft Teams: Facts vs. Fiction
Private Channels in Microsoft Teams: Facts vs. Fiction
Brent Middleton
There has been an update! Get the latest on when, why and how to deploy private channels across your organization by reading Getting Ready for Private Channels in Microsoft Teams: Part 1.
The discussion of including private channels in Microsoft Teams has been a long one. The concept sounds straightforward enough; private channels would only be seen and accessible by the creator and whoever he/she invites. In practice, however, the feature has been a major development challenge. Here's what you need to know.
Private channels are easily the most requested feature on User Voice
The feature has been in development for over two years now
On March 19th it was announced that private channels will be coming out later this year
According to User Voice, people generally want more options when it comes to creating channels in Microsoft Teams. Specifically, they want channels that are:
Public-Open (Visible anywhere including outside the organization that anyone can join)
Public-Invitation (Visible anywhere including outside the organization; must be invited)
Company-Open (Only visible inside the organization and anyone inside can join; those outside the organization must be invited)
Company-Invitation (Only visible inside the organization, must be invited)
Secret (Invisible to everyone except existing members, must be invited)
Why People Want It
So, what's so special about private channels, anyway? Why's the demand so high?
Well, private channels would enable admins to have more granular control over who can and can't access certain content. Sensitive material could be more easily gated. Having private channels would also make something like a manager/executive-only chat within a Team possible.
This is a good breakdown of the private channels in MS Teams situation: Click To Tweet
Why People Don't Want It
Microsoft Teams is all about open collaboration. It was designed to make working with others as seamless as possible. Once you're in a Team you have access to everything in there. By implementing more controls and requiring the team owner to manage permissions for every private team that gets created, it can quickly become antithetical to the purpose of the platform.
Pushing for private channels can also be seen as unnecessary. You can arguably just create a new team if you want privacy. And if you want a private chat between two or more managers/executives, why not create a regular group chat? These are all workable (though not necessarily as convenient) options.
Potential Issues
Whether you're for or against private channels in Microsoft Teams, they're undeniably a popular request. So why have they taken so long to be implemented?
Well, as previously mentioned, channels in Teams weren't originally created to be blocked off. Because of this, the architecture of channels doesn't lend itself to being private.
Every Team that's created is enabled by other facets of Office 365. For instance, Teams need Planner for task management and SharePoint for file storage. If a certain channel in a Team went private…
…Planner permissions would be broken.
…SharePoint permissions would be broken.
…Stream permissions would be broken.
…Tab level permissions would be broken.
Needless to say, the Microsoft Teams team had to overcome a ton of obstacles to make part of their open collaboration platform closed off. Were all the delays worth it? We'll have to wait until the end of the year to find out.
See how you can manage your private channels with AvePoint's Microsoft Teams management solution!

How to Discover When a Microsoft Team Was Accessed & Why...
GilRoitto 02/26/2020 At 01:16
The need to have private channels stems from a need to share material with outside your normal team or to limit the access to a smaller sub-group. Private channels won't solve this since you will always discover that "hey I want to share these files, but not the rest of the files that happens to be here". Proper publishing and authoring workspace functionality would solve much of these needs in a better way I think.
avepointcommunity 02/26/2020 At 01:19
Thanks for reading Gil. That's a fair sentiment, and one that seems to be popular among those more tentative about private channel implementation. We're looking forward to seeing how well they work out for organizations following the eventual launch.
Shawn Fielding 02/26/2020 At 01:16
This is a really interesting article. Thank you! One thing that would be important to us to implement private teams is the ability to archive channels. Without this, private channels only takes us so far. Those two functions combined are a major decision factor in our Teams architecture. We either create a plethora of teams to control communication noise, or we create channels to consolidate project conversation. I wish this were already implemented because we need to make this decision asap.
We're glad you found this helpful Shawn! And indeed, we'll have to wait and see if Microsoft enables channel archiving eventually.
Kleber Santos 02/26/2020 At 01:16
Hi, we need to create a Planner tab into a private channel in my Team. I´m sure that a lot of us need the same feature. Does anybody know when we'll have that? We have this into a public channel in the same Team…
SaneN85 02/26/2020 At 01:16
Can't wait to see this implemented.
You're certainly not alone there. Thanks for reading!
Chad Kealey 02/26/2020 At 01:16
While I know many of our users say they want Private Channels, the whole "customized permissions for…" issue mentioned above has me cringing at the thought. I think there is a valid need for one or more "Owner Only" channels in a Team and the (permissions) infrastructure is already there to support it. Business users have a hysterically terrible track record (at least in our environment) when it comes to managing permissions. I have literally had (SharePoint) site owners lecture me for an hour on why it's important that their content be "secure", then turn around and give all 30 employees in their department "Full Control" permissions to the site directly (ie: NOT by putting them in the Owners group). Introducing any kind of "permissions" management into Teams is absolutely going to confuse and frustrate people.
Hey Chad, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Understanding permissions management is certainly an obstacle users are going to have to undertake. Proper (and consistent) training will likely be a must.
Mat 02/26/2020 At 01:16
I am having a slightly different issue with the private channels. I was testing a few channels before opening to the rest of my Team, but once selecting private, there's no way to revert it to public. Is there a fix to this issue? Thank you in advance!
Hey Mat, thanks for reaching out. Yes – as long as you're a Team "Owner" you have the ability to edit the Team via the ellipses next to your Team name. It's at this point that you're able to change the Team name as well as the "Privacy" setting. Don't be confused with the Team "Manage Team" menu which contains different options.
prakash tandukar 02/26/2020 At 01:16
Hey Mat, Could you please let us know how you have created private channel? I did not find any way to create it.
I managed to sort out my issues with the channels, but the problem is that I'm not the "super admin" in mi org, so for instance, they've removed the ability to create private channels.
Mike W 02/26/2020 At 01:16
In the project areas I work on, there is a real problem of Teams proliferation in order to maintain Chinese walls between different parts of projects. If we want to move people away from email, and also not be overwhelmed with creating customised SharePoint sites, plus other governance arrangements that need to be made, then private channels provides a good balance.
One area where it is important is in inter-institutional teams where a substantial amount of the membership are guests. We need to have an internal channel or two to cover sensitive communications. If we broke these out into private chats, then we need to have a way of hooking these into the governance controls for the main team. This is not straightforward – how do we identify and archive private chats with the main team communications?
Hey Mike, thanks for the comment! While Microsoft doesn't have a solution for this at the moment, we can currently migrate Teams and their channels (and Slack channels) from tenant to tenant, and even consolidate Teams channels (or Slack channels) into one Team. However, we don't support pulling private chat data into a Teams channel.
Private chat information is copied from the Teams application in Azure into hidden folders inside user's Exchange email boxes for compliance purposes, but there are no APIs to access this information. We're continuing to work towards supporting this information for migration, content moves, and backup and restore use cases.
"It's also worth noting that those chat conversations will remain in Teams even if you remove the users. You could communicate a naming convention to make them easy to find. It's also possible to archive the private chat information by archiving the user email boxes in question."
John Bevis 02/26/2020 At 01:16
As a product of the Government and private industry Legal environment, I must assure the integrity & absolute control of project information and its respective classifications or in Legal sector for client, case and HIPAA information on a strict cleared or "need-to-know" basis. It appears that Microsoft leadership, for whatever reason, lacks the corporate will to make this happen in the Teams environment. I will be patient for a while longer. However, in the absence of any publicized movement on this front, I will have to withdraw from Teams.
Hey John, thanks for commenting. I think situations like yours are one of the reasons Microsoft has decided to move forward with private channel implementation (though it's taken awhile to get there). This should make the control and privacy you're looking for a reality in Teams; there's just not a solid release date yet.
I doubt that it's "corporate will" – there are many engineering issues that have to be solved and prioritised to support Teams. You don't build a pyramid from the apex down – broader feature sets and infrastructure are required first. Microsoft has already been making progress on HIPAA, information barriers, data residency and other governance areas that show clear movement on this front.

Research into ADHD continues at an encouraging pace and pleasingly there is a vast body of knowledge developing. In this edition of Abstract Watch, we highlight a study by Liebrenz et al,which explores the association between ADHD subtypes and substance use. An interesting study by Martin et al reveals more about the nature of friendships among children with ADHD. In the quest for neuroimaging markers, Hammer et al explore functional MRI in visuospatial working memory tasks, with good results. Our last abstract is a ray of hope for the needle-phobic; Stegmann et al highlight a method for quanitifying ADHD medications in oral fluid.

Reflections on Best Baguette in Washington D.C.
Once in awhile, when you put a lot of work into a task and actually get a decent result -- well, you get to gloat, at least for a few minutes. So excuse me while I do so, because my humble, home-made baguettes just topped every bakery in Washington, D.C., in a blind tasting competition.
On the one hand, this result was unexpected. I mean, I'm a writer by profession. I've always been a writer, well, almost always. But I love to cook too, and at times have become passionate about it. I'm also drawn to crafts, and to crafts people; whether the craft is putting words together or making a whole grain sourdough loaf.
But in distinction to writing, baking has been a private endeavor. It was just something I did to break the tension, when my arms tensed up from typing too much, or when I just wanted to leave the computer screen and do something with my hands -- to make something tactile.
This grew into a regular practice. Starting many years ago, I stopped buying bread, because I made enough. A few loaves a week, we'd eat one and another would go into the freezer. I became adept at sourdough, using the natural yeast present everywhere. It was like conjuring something out of thin air.
My motivation was simple. I just wanted good fresh bread. Who can argue with that? It wasn't a business. There was no market to worry about, no bosses or rent, nothing. Just baking pure and simple without any distraction because I had absolutely no larger intention. It was pure craft.
The parameters of the task were clear and challenging. You have just four ingredients: water, flour, yeast and salt. So often, we think of all the stuff or things we need to do something -- the equipment, the newest gizmo. And I did buy a few things, like bench scrapers and a couche (a linen cloth to support the shape of baguettes) and a baking stone to try and mimic the conditions of a hearth oven. But that was pretty much it, not much more than $100 over, what, a decade? Plus the ingredients, like flour, seeds, walnuts - or whatever else I choose to put in the loaves.
Then, there was the baguette itself, which is deceptively simple and hard to master. There's the soft, slightly sweet crumb, the uneven and slightly chewy and bubbly interior, the crisp crust, delicately toasted in sections, and the aesthetic appearance, which comes from the slashes running down the top of the loaf.
When I began baking, this was the first bread I tried to make. It was an absolute failure, too dense, tasting of yeast and lacking a crisp exterior. I tried many times to make it, then just gave up. Decided it couldn't be done at home. I went on to bake other loaves and over the years learned a lot more. I could have condensed this process had I even taken a few baking classes, but I didn't. I learned from cookbooks and developed the technique on my own (since baking is more about technique than a recipe -- again the craft of it).
But the allure of the perfect baguette was always there, so I'd go back to it now and again, but never approached what I thought even a half decent loaf should be.
The breakthrough first came maybe two years ago with a sourdough baguette, which I let rise in the refrigerator overnight. I was somewhat surprised by the results, since I had finally achieved the interior bubbly structure I sought. So for a while I stuck with those loaves, thinking they were pretty close to what I wanted.
But then I thought, to really be a baguette, the loaf should be lighter. With the aid of a Peter Reinhart recipe, I made a loaf without any sourdough. It had the bubbly structure, but I felt the taste wasn't quite on par with sourdough. He also used bread flour, which I felt it was too strong, leaving the interior crumb too chewy, so I switched to all purpose flour -- a misnomer because it really tells you nothing about what you're using. The actual flours I bake with -- King Arthur Unbleached Organic All Purpose Flour or Whole Foods 365 Organic All Purpose Flour -- were ideal because they are both made with hard winter wheat suited to artisan loaves.
The final breakthrough came by reading a description of the baguettes made by two of the most influential bakers in France, Eric Kayser and Dominique Saibron, in historian Steven Kaplan's book Good Bread Is Back: A Contemporary History of French Bread, the Way It Is Made, and the People Who Make It. Both bakers added sourdough to their baguettes in minor amounts along with yeast, and though Kaplan's book is a contemporary historical narrative, he gives just enough information about the technique to craft a recipe. And more importantly, he talks about why bakers apply certain techniques, which can be more valuable than any recipe. Kaplan, by the way, is the world's foremost historian of French bread.
Then, in the midst of the recession, I got the unlikely opportunity to travel to France for a new start-up magazine, Afar. They liked my idea of working in a boulangerie -- something I had always dreamed about (and describe more fully in the article which appears this summer). I ended up at boulangerie Arnaud Delmontel in the 9th in Paris working beside Thomas Chardon, a young baker who took me through all the tasks of baguette making. We made a couple of hundred loaves each morning, repeating the techniques so that they become an extension of your body. It was exhausting but highly gratifying, and could be applied to the home kitchen. I also had the great fortune to spend a morning with Prof. Kaplan discussing bread.
When I returned, I just redoubled the work and began to get consistent results -- ones I was finally happy with.
So why did my baguettes win?
In France, my baguettes would have been decent, nothing to write home about especially in comparison to what is available. But because they take a full day to rise, they are also superior to loaves mixed and baked within a couple of hours. And that describes many of the loaves in the DC competition -- approaching the idea of the airy, white, bland bread that also widely swept France but has been roundly rejected by a new generation of artisans.
A key insight for me came when Loic Feillet, the baker and owner of Panorama in Alexandria, Va. -- who actually trained with Kayser in France -- mentioned that he offered a true baguette, but his wholesale customers revolted. He could not convince them that his loaf, made with with a hint of sourdough, was superior. So in essence, he dumbed it down to their idea of what a baguette should be.
The lowest common denominator may do wonders for a business, but it has never been the path to greatness. Working in my kitchen, I never had to worry about that. My only customer was the ideal loaf that I had tasted on occasion and had in my head. All I had to worry about was to do better next time.
So what's next? A hearty rye perhaps ... it doesn't matter. The point is to keep my hands moving, connected to my mind and to that ideal of taste I have. To keep the craft alive.
The winning baguette recipe is here. Happy baking!


Ethnopharmacological relevance: Documentation of Australian bush medicines is of utmost importance to the preservation of this disappearing and invaluable knowledge. This collaboration between the Yaegl Aboriginal community in northern New South Wales (NSW), Australia and an academic institution, demonstrates an effective means of preserving and adding value to this information. Materials and methods: Questionnaire-guided interviews were performed with community Elders under a framework of participatory action research. Medicinal plant knowledge was collated in a handbook to aid interviews and to be used as an ongoing resource by the community. Specimens for all non-cultivar plants that were discussed were collected and deposited in herbaria with unique voucher numbers. This medicinal knowledge was checked against the literature for reports of related use and studies of biological activity. Results: Nineteen Elders were interviewed, leading to discussions on fifty four plant preparations used for medicinal purposes. These plant preparations involved thirty two plants coming from twenty one families, reflecting the botanical diversity of the area. The plants retained in the Yaegl pharmacopoeia correspond to their accessibility and ease of preparation, reflected in their ongoing utilisation. Several plant uses did not appear elsewhere in the literature. Conclusions: This study is the first comprehensive documentation of the medicinal knowledge of the Yaegl Aboriginal community. It has been conducted using participatory action research methods and adds to the recorded customary knowledge of the region. The customary medicinal knowledge retained by the Yaegl Aboriginal community is related to the evolving needs of the community and accessibility of plants.
