The Risks and Benefits of Nanotechnology in Medicine
Published by Lory Seraydarian at February 18, 2021
You have probably heard by now that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines contain lipid nanoparticles. Nanotechnology is the study of microscopic particles falling between 1 and 100 nanometers in size on the nanoscale. To better understand, the thickness of one nanoparticle is around 1/1000 of the human hair thickness. Objects in this size scale have magnetic properties and can revolutionize the field of health and medicine.
Nanotechnology in medicine is very important from a therapeutic standpoint, and it can also be vital from a diagnostic perspective. By using nanoparticles, a drug can be accurately delivered to the targeted region in the body. This can help treat cancer patients with a customized treatment plan. Not only can nanoparticles significantly improve drug delivery, but scientists are also working on using nanotechnology to analyze DNA in a couple of minutes, and mechanically reverse plaque buildup in arteries. They are also working nanoparticles that deliver insulin to initiate cell growth for diabetic patients, prepare tissues for cryonic storage, build new muscles with carbon nanotubes, repair spinal damage, and much more.
Nanoparticles will also detect diseases in real-time tracking of a patient's health status, such as any chemical changes inside the body. They can also be programmed into gathering information about specific body parts, and levels of toxins and reporting back to medical professionals.
Who Created the Concept of Nanotechnology?
The concept of nanotechnology was first brought to light in December 1959 by Nobel laureate Richard Fireman. During his lecture at Caltech titled "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom," the Nobel Laureate discussed the future possibility in which scientists could manipulate individual atoms, allowing the development of a miniature technology that can improve human life.
With advanced technology, in 1980, scientists start to work in such a small field. The photo mentioned above presents the US nanomedicine market by product, from 2013 to 2025, in USD billion.
Nanotechnology is used in medicine, food, fuels, batteries, chemical sensors, environmental causes, and much more.
Nanotechnology for Cancer Treatment
Nanotech is already being explored as an early diagnostic tool to detect cancer and infectious diseases long before our current technology can. Most of the time, cancer drugs are washed out of the body through the kidneys before reaching the tumor. With programmable nanoparticles' help, scientists plan to put the cancer drugs inside them to go through the tumor successfully. Doing so will reduce the dosage needed for chemotherapy, limit side effects such as damaging other healthy tissues, and be less invasive than other treatments.
Enzymes in the blood quickly degrade certain essential but sensitive drugs. To function, they have to be protected by nanoparticles. Today, scientists have created more than ten clinically approved nanoparticles for cancer treatment given to patients worldwide.
The Limitations of Nanotechnology in Cancer Treatment
When using nanoparticles to treat cancerous tumors, the kidney is no longer a problem, but the liver is. The liver filters and destroys foreign objects such as viruses, bacteria, and nanoparticles.
For the nanoparticle to reach the tumor, scientists have to disarm the immune cells in the liver. During their research, scientists found a 70-year-old Malaria drug that can stop the immune cells from internalizing the nanoparticles and allow them to escape the liver and reach the tumor.
Another way to prevent the nanoparticles from getting destroyed by the liver is to use the body's own nanoparticles. Biological nanoparticles can be found in the urine, blood, and saliva and can be used to deliver cancer. Because these nanoparticles are part of human bodies, the liver is less likely to categorize them as foreign objects.
What Are Some Risks Associated with Nanotechnology?
Some cybersecurity experts believe that nanotechnology can open the door to a new cyber threat. Nanodevices are typically controlled by a program on a traditional electronic device. Some digital security experts assume that a single nanoparticle in the body with its own processor could be hacked. Some also claim that if a patient has more than one nanoparticle inside their body, a hacker can theoretically turn them into a body network using the body's systems to communicate and do their bidding. Some worry that this technology could be easily weaponized.
By now, no one was able to hack a nanoparticle, and the risk seems to be theoretical. However, to minimize the risk of hacking with nanotechnology, experts believe that there should be strict regulation and undergo penetration testing. Penetration testing is the process a hacker would use to launch an attack on a network, application, network, or website, to identify security issues and vulnerabilities before hackers can locate them.
Even though nanotechnology is an extremely effective method to combat cancer, some experts believe that if a nanoparticle has poor solubility, surface properties, structure, coating, and ability to aggregate, it may lead to chemical and biological reactions that cause cancer.
The Future of Nanotechnology
Today, nanotechnology research is heavily supported by governments and private companies, and with the current levels of funding, the future of nanotechnology is very bright. In the future, scientists will be able to reduce harm to healthy organs, improve the quality of life, and save future patients. Remember that there are also countless other nanotechnology applications outside the field of health and medicine, such as nanoelectronics and energy production, to name a few.

Moby – Everything Was Beautiful, And Nothing Hurt Reaction
Community Rating0 Votes
While I do have a basic knowledge of who Moby is, outside of that now iconic theme song for the Bourne series, I've never heard an entire body of work from him. Curious, I decided now's as good as ever to give him a proper listen. Not really sure what to expect I was taken aback by just how melancholic and ethereal everything sounded. It's a sort of atmospheric style of electronic music that's more about evoking emotion than making a statement, punctuated by otherworldly synths and vocals that have been distorted and modified to the point that they don't sound human. The overall feel of the album seems to revel in emptiness and hopelessness but still somehow manages to be beautiful and not overly nihilistic. Everything Was Beautiful, And Nothing Hurt is a mellow listen that doesn't have anything nearly as bombastic as "Extreme Ways" but it's equally parts lush and bare and has potential to evoke a strong emotional reaction. The title is a perfect summation of what the album's 12 tracks have in store.
Through The Walls Reaction
I'm not sure if WhoMadeWho was aided by any psychedelics in the creation of Through The Walls but he managed to craft one atmospheric, contemplative, trippy musical journey, and I can dig it.
Marble Skies Reaction
While Django Django's previous efforts felt a bit more artsy in intention, the experimentation on Marble Skies feels done with the sole purpose of creating something fun. And it is fun, it's a lighthearted, head nodding romp full of brilliant melodies and earworm hooks. It's almost impossible not to be pulled into their joyous orbit.
Plunge Reaction
Fever Ray's sound is not easily quantifiable nor is it's intent, it's quintessential mood music and just one of those things where you just know it when you hear it. I'm not sure that I enjoyed Plunge as much as her first album, at least not immediately, but there's no denying the sheer creativity and boundary pushing present that succeeds at evoking emotional response better than almost anything else that comes to mind.
"This was loss and this was later
Always hate but never hate her
I laid in wait but so much later
And never safe from all this danger"
Have you heard Everything Was Beautiful, And Nothing Hurt? What'd you think about it? Did it resonate emotionally with you? Let me know in the comments below and be sure to leave your own ratings and reactions to the album.

A PEW Resarch survey shows a majority of people around the world feel robots and AI will make it harder to find work, and increase the gap between rich and poor (Gerard Julien-AFP-Getty Images)
Robots and AI may take your job

New survey shows worldwide worry
Think about it, when driverless vehicles come on-stream, what happens to literally millions of bus drivers, taxi drivers, and the huge variety of truck and delivery drivers. And that's just the start.
RCI: Feb 2018: Autonomous mine trucks
Vast numbers of manufacturing jobs have been lost and continue to be lost as companies add computerised robots. In fact it has already led to a new term called "lights out" manufacturing with entire computerised plants running with virtually no human intervention as humans may need light to see what they're doing, but robots don't.

Bank tellers were being replaced by ATM's and now mobile phone apps are replacing both. Self checkouts are beginning to replace cashiers, AI is already making inroads into all kinds of jobs from paralegal to journalism.
A new study from the Pew Research Centre shows people in countries around the world are worried about their job future.
By the end of 2016 there were 255,000 self-checkout machines in stores around the world. Every machine means one less taxpaying person being employed.(CBC)
The concern seems to be relatively equally shared among men and women. A majority feel that automation will make it harder for ordinary people to find jobs, more that 80 per cent of respondents in Canada, Greece, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa and more than 70 per cent in Hungary, Poland, Italy and Japan.
Many also feel the trend toward automation and AI will only serve to widen the inequality between rich and poor.
The often heard comment that it will lead to more, new jobs is also something that a majority of people doubt.

As to who is responsible for preparing the workforce for the new and changing future, except for the U.S., people feel, the government, schools, and individuals themselves share responsibility in that order, although in figures not greatly different. with employers generally listed fourth in responsibility.
The U.S seems unique in that a clear majority think individuals are responsible for preparing for the future with the government listed as a distant fourth.

For reasons beyond our control, and for an undetermined period of time, our comment section is now closed. However, our social networks remain open to your contributions.


At the rates you reported, you are not doing disk transfers but doing transfers between the disk memory buffers and the program memory.
Using Resource Monitor to review memory and disk usage should demonstrate this, although the tests don't last long !!
At these apparent rates, there are so many potential bottlenecks (bandwidth limitations), including memory speeds and software conversion rates. My tests showed my software limits of 300 to 500 Mibytes / sec, so I could never demonstrate the quoted SSD performance for my test problems.
However, for the case where you are reading large data feeds, say 10x installed memory ( 500 gb file ) disk transfer performance becomes the issue. I haven't had this problem for 10 years, when I used a pre-processor to filter out the raw data to a smaller interface file for multiple analysis (marine survey data).
It all depends on the rate at which you are receiving the data vs the rate required to process it, which is a small subset of all data processing projects. Not many data feeds are at 4 GiBy / sec and if they were you would have the budget to but a better "disk" controller.
Regular reads, especially text reads, can be limited by the processing rate of the I/O library routines. As I recall, my I/O library attempts process at about 0.5 GB/sec.
At 1 gbyte/sec, this would be equivalent to 4 processor cycles per byte, which I would expect is a fast processing rate. To get more for character conversion, you could be looking at a vector (AVX registers?) or multi-thread approach (for very long strings).
Achieving 4 gbyte/sec would probably be no conversion, ie byte (binary) transfer. These would be rates that would probably exceed any data processing capacity, such as even basic calculating of mean, standard deviation or high/low limits. Consider the processing rates if also getting the median !
Dgurok, what type of data processing are you performing ?
With HDD, we were once limited to about 20-30 MByte/sec. Options of SSD or memory disk buffers have moved the goal posts, highlighting the processing rates and our data processing limitations.
FTN95 binary transfer library is useful for this type of problem.


At today's State of the City talk, Mayor Bob Bratina brought up the forced amalgamation of Hamilton with its suburbs.
Right after the meeting, the Mayor's office issued an email to media to announce a presentation by Professor Tim Cobban of Western University "on his work regarding amalgamation in Ontario."
The presentation will take place today, January 8, 2014, at 3:00 PM in the MacNab Room, Sheraton Hotel, 116 King Street West.
In 2010, Bratina campaigned for election as Mayor in part on a promise to revisit the amalgamation of Hamilton with its suburban communities, a decision that was implemented in 2001 against extensive local opposition.
Specifically, his campaign website (offline but archived here) pledged to "Confront the fact that forced amalgamation has created deep divisions in our community and has not worked effectively to improve the lives of our citizens ... through a full review of municipal structure".
It is not clear what, if anything, Bratina has done in the three-plus years since becoming mayor to follow up on this promise. However, the next municipal election is coming up this October.
Bratina has not yet registered his candidacy, but in response to a recent question by The Hamiltonian, he wrote, "I have no reason not to seek re-election and a formal statement will come down at the right time."
Other promises from Bratina's 2010 campaign page include: "Work with all levels of government to bring light rail transit to Hamilton"; "Provide strong leadership characterized by consultation, consensus-building and decision-making that will benefit the greatest number of residents"; and "Provide real and effective leadership to city council".
Bonus: during the Q&A session after today's talk, Bratina said, "Probably our biggest problem, however, is tweets and negativity. There's nothing wrong with our city. And who gets the credit for it? Go ahead, take the credit everybody [waves hand]. It doesn't matter."
No doubt he presumed the chamber was a safe, old boys bubble where he could harrumph about the kids and their twitter. Little did he know he was probably dissing 3/4 of the people in the room. It's kinda sad actually.
I find the #HamOnt twitter community full of people who love this city and want to make it great and more livable.
Yeah. I mean, listen to all the negativity on Twitter about proposed LRT lines. Or lobbying the province to stop subsidizing parking lots.
Does he really think Flamborough is gonna fall for that cheap ploy again? I can't believe they fell for it the first time, but one bitten twice shy etc.
Most of the suburbs as I remember got and bought that same 'de-amalgamation' Campaign pledge from the Mayor, not just us Flamborough folks. Thing is...soon as he stated that at the Candidates Debate - the whole room got silent....and I could tell he'd just won the suburban vote....and yes, the election too.
That said, I do wonder what wil happen on that issue...as many others do too!
Hamiltonians need to deamalgamate Bob Bratina from the Mayor's Office in the 2014 election.
Watching this video, I get the sense that the prevailing mood was, "What the heck is the point of this presentation?"
From 8am on, yesterday was Bob's unofficial campaign launch. Nice to be an incumbent with a Mayor's office budget, eh? Even Bobby Ford in TO got caught when he launched with his mayor's email account, and then in a rare show of remorse, removed it.
It looked to me like he dusted off his "platform-schmatform" checklist and panicked. "Peggy! Are there any unsuspecting experts that can help me beat this dead horse... again?" It was painful to watch. Data in search of local political meaning.
This is the "safe" issue for him. Nobody else wants to touch it, and maybe he thinks it will resonate with some of the voters again (though anyone who believed it the first time should be smarter than that this election). Also, it's probably easier for him to stay on message compared to the multitude of other city issues that will be under intense discussion, where his waffling and fumbling will be very evident.
Perhaps he's even going to try and take a page from a certain city east of here, where the incumbent mayor won the last election on promises to save taxpayer money. The amalgamation study is something he can point to and build on in that regard.

Red Cross warns of deepening humanitarian needs in conflict zones
Geneva, Nov 30 (IANS): The civilian suffering caused by various conflicts across the world combined with a worsening climate emergency and rising food and energy prices will make 2023 a year of vast humanitarian need, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warned.
In some regions in Somalia, ICRC teams have seen a more than 170 per cent rise in the number of malnourished children admitted for treatment versus 2021, while hospitals supported by the Red Cross have recorded a 30 per cent increase in mass casualty events, reports Xinhua news agency.
In a statement, the Committee said that communities in the Sahel are caught between advancing deserts, erratic weather and violence, and millions of people have been forced from their homes by violence in Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and Mauritania.
The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is worsening too. In the ICRC-supported hospitals across the country, child malnutrition cases are already 90 per cent higher in 2022 compared to all of 2021, rising from 33,000 cases to over 63,000 so far this year.
The humanitarian crisis in Yemen is also likely to worsen in 2023 in the absence of a de-escalation of the conflict, lack of economic improvements and amplified impact of the climate crises, the ICRC said.
It added that 70 per cent of the population there are now depending on some form of humanitarian assistance.
In Syria, more than 11 years of conflict have seriously damaged the water network, reducing supply by between 30 per cent and 40 per cent.
In Haiti, over three million people are facing exacerbated humanitarian needs from protracted armed violence, civil unrest and the resurgence of cholera cases.
"There are more than 100 armed conflicts in the world today," ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric said.
"The global community must ensure that no conflict is left behind, or we risk many crises fading into obscurity at great cost to human life."

Have you ever eaten ice cream that's mixed on a frozen granite stone and served to you in a waffle cup? Ever been spoilt for choice with over 15 topping options to choose from? Ever heard of ice cream concepts ranging from nutty and fresh fruits to chocolate and diet? We say yes, yes and yes. That too right within our very own Pune…So where did we enjoy all this awesomeness? At Creamstone in Baner!
Ice cream here is not merely a dessert. It's a concept and one that allows you to freeze your imagination. Whether you're a lover of fresh fruits, chocolates, candies or even someone who keeps a strict check on calories and intake of sugar, Creamstone has a dedicated concept section on their menu. Speaking of the amount of toppings available, we were just oh-so-amazed! True blue lovers of chocolates, we were literally in chocolate heaven. Ferrero Rocher, Kit-Kat, Snickers, name the topping and we had the option of adding it to our ice cream. Now nothing about any of the ice creams is regular. We were not simply served some ice cream scooped out of a container. Once we made our pick, the ice cream flavours and toppings were beaten and folded altogether into a scoop using two spades on a frozen granite stone. The entire process is just so quick n capture-worthy!
We're absolute ice cream lovers and were delighted to have a myriad of options here to choose from, each served with some amazing toppings. After some intense pondering though we settled for the flavour of the month – TIRAMISU! You've got Tiramisu ice cream mixed with crunchy Oreo and choco flakes, then garnished with choco-coffee powder and choco sticks. Woah! What better to relish some yummy fruits than to mix them with our fav ice cream? We also tried the FRUIT EXOTICA that's a multi-flavoured ice cream served with exotic fruit toppings. With so much yumminess to be tired, we simply cannot wait to go back!
And we found the perfect Biryani!

Many Popular Stomach Acid-Reducing Drugs Are Habit-Forming, Dangerous
Nexium, Prilosec and Other Proton Pump Inhibitors Are Overprescribed, Should Carry Strongest Possible Warning, Public Citizen Tells FDA in Petition
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Many widely prescribed stomach acid-reducing drugs can cause long-term dependence and should carry the strongest possible warning label for this and several other dangerous adverse effects, Public Citizen told the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a petition sent today.
The drugs are proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), so-named because of the mechanism they use to shut off the production of stomach acid. PPIs are one of the most widely used classes of drugs in the United States, with 119 million prescriptions dispensed in 2009 and $13.6 billion in U.S. sales. An estimated 1 of every 20 people in the developed world is taking the medications, which include Nexium, Dexilant, Prilosec, Prilosec OTC, Zegerid, Zegerid OTC, Prevacid, Prevacid 24-Hr, Protonix, Aciphex, Vimovo and numerous generic counterparts, most prominently omeprazole and pantoprazole.
"These drugs are being prescribed far too commonly to people who shouldn't be taking them," said Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group. "As a result, millions of people are needlessly setting themselves up to become dependent on PPIs while exposing themselves to the serious risks associated with long-term therapy. The FDA should act immediately to ensure that patients and physicians are adequately warned of these effects, and reminded of the many safer alternatives for common conditions such as acid reflux."
PPIs are approved to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) – sometimes referred to as acid reflux – as well as gastric ulcers, erosive esophagitis and stomach bleeding associated with using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). But evidence shows that after using PPIs for a month or more, patients who stop taking the drug make even more stomach acid than before they started the drug, a phenomenon known as rebound acid hypersecretion, which causes acid reflux symptoms to return even worse than before therapy. The symptoms prompt patients to begin taking the PPI again, creating a long-term dependence on these drugs, particularly worrisome for the large number of patients who did not even need the drugs in the first place. As Dr. K.E. McColl, a leading Scottish researcher on adverse effects of PPI use, recently concluded, "The current finding that these drugs induce symptoms [after withdrawal] means that such liberal [mis-] prescribing is likely to be creating the disease the drugs are designed to treat and causing patients with no previous need for such therapy to require intermittent or long-term treatment."
In addition to creating dependency, PPIs increase the risk for several serious conditions, including fractures of the hip, spine and wrist; an increased risk of serious infections such as pneumonia and C. difficile diarrhea; and severe magnesium deficiency, which can cause life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. PPIs also may reduce the effectiveness of other drugs used to treat heart attacks and cancer, and in some cases, can cause vitamin B12 deficiency and kidney failure. Although some of these side effects already are mentioned somewhere in the labels (not the case for the dependence), none – including those that are life-threatening – are displayed prominently as black box warnings, the strongest possible warning.
Therefore, physicians may not be aware of the serious risks associated with PPI therapy, resulting in a large number of unnecessary prescriptions. Studies have shown that up to two-thirds of all people taking PPIs do not even have a condition that the drugs are designed to treat, and the drugs are often taken for much longer periods of time than they are approved for. In addition, PPIs are commonly prescribed for conditions such as acid reflux that could be treated with safer alternatives that are often just as effective.
Public Citizen is petitioning the FDA to require that more prominent black box warnings and other safety information be added to the product labels of all PPIs on the market. Public Citizen also is calling for patient medication guides to be distributed with all PPIs and for the makers of the drugs to send a letter to doctors alerting them to these adverse effects and of the need to try safer alternatives first for conditions such as GERD.
Dr. Helge L. Waldum, a co-petitioner with Public Citizen, is head of the Department of Digestive and Liver Diseases at Trondheim University Hospital in Norway and author of 135 medical journal articles related to the topics of this petition, among them the first trial to show that patients could become dependent on PPIs through the rebound effect. In a statement released today, he noted: "Given that most people on PPIs long-term may not even have a documented need for the medication, and that for those that are on these drugs for legitimate reasons, several safer alternatives exist, the risks greatly outweigh any benefit in most patients on PPIs. I therefore urge the FDA to act promptly on the recommendations outlined in this petition."
Robert Kuttner, a well-known journalist and co-editor of the American Prospect, long suffered from severe acid reflux and became dependent on PPIs after a particularly severe episode. After years of unsuccessfully trying to control his symptoms with ever higher doses of the PPI, the reflux resolved only after a physician tapered him off the drug to another therapy. Now largely symptom-free, Kuttner, who released a statement today in support of Public Citizen's petition, concluded: "My experience certainly seems to confirm the pattern of PPI medication causing – or in my case, seriously aggravating – the condition that it supposedly treats. In my case, the PPI seemed to have primed my system to produce increasing amounts of acid so that over time I was more prone to more attacks triggered by ever more minor departures from a very low fat diet … The ever-increasing amounts of PPI helped only temporarily and required dependence on even higher doses, and so on, over several cycles. Only getting off the PPI reversed what seemed to be a chronic and progressive condition."

Video Codecs Supported by Twilio's Programmable Video SDKs.
Check the browser support per platform table.
* Twilio Video for iOS relies on hardware support for H.264. Hardware encode/decode is supported on all iOS devices.
** Twilio Video for Android relies on hardware support for H.264, which depends on devices' capabilities. Developers can evaluate H.264 support in Android SDK v2.0+ using the following code snippet.
Before establishing a multimedia communication, the involved parties need to agree on the codecs to be used. Twilio manages this through an automatic codec negotiation that imposes some interoperability restrictions.
* Android H.264 relies on hardware support, which depends on devices' capabilities.
All the supported client SDKs interoperate their video communications (using either VP8 or H.264) except for Android-Safari < 12.1 video links, where interoperability is only guaranteed when the Android hardware ships H.264.
For inbound tracks (i.e. tracks getting into the SFU), the SFU tries to accept the codec preferred by the client as long as this codec is supported by the SFU.
For outbound tracks (i.e. tracks getting out the SFU), the tracks are only offered in the codec in which they are being received.
When the Group Room is created using the Rooms REST API, you can set the following parameter: VideoCodecs=H264.
For further details about using Safari < 12.1 in Group Rooms see the Working with Safari < 12.1 Guide.
It allows selecting both the preferred audio codecs and the preferred video codecs in which media tracks are published by a client SDK.
Selected codecs are provided as an ordered list of codec specifications, so that codecs specified first have higher preference.
Only codecs supported at a given SDK can be specified as preferred.
Codec Preferences are set when a participant connects to a room as part of the ConnectOptions.
The fact of a participant selecting a preferred codec does not guarantee the SDK to chose such codec. The preference just means that the codec shall have higher priority among the list of possible codecs to use. The actual chosen codec may depend on other aspects such as the codecs supported by the other parties of the communication.
The following code snippets illustrate how a Participant can connect to a room preferring iSAC as audio codec and H.264 as video codec.
For further information on how Codec Preferences work, please check the corresponding SDK reference documentation regarding the connect primitive and its ConnectOptions parameter.
In Twilio Programmable Video, we say that a room is using Multi-codec capabilities when different participants send their video (or audio) using different codecs. Multi-codecs may be useful for optimizing the battery life of your applications as many vendors provide hardware acceleration support for specific codec suites. For example, all iOS devices have H.264 hardware acceleration while many modern Android devices provide it for both H.264 and VP8. When different devices have different hardware support, it may be interesting to sent media using one codec (i.e. the one supported by the local device hardware) while receiving in another (i.e. the one hardware-supported by the remote parties).
In Group Rooms, Multi-codec support for video is currently limited to H.264 and VP8.
In Group Rooms, Multi-codec support for audio is currently limited to Opus and PCMU.
In Group Rooms, support for H.264 video is currently limited to the Constrained Baseline profile at level 3.1. This means that the maximum resolution of a video track is 1280x720 at 30 fps.
The use of Multi-codecs in a Group Room with recording activated causes recordings to be also Multi-codec. This means that a recording keeps the codec of the track originating it.

Q: How to add a "s3:ListBucket/" to give access to a bucket Issue is IAM permissions already exist and the User x has permissions to s3:ListALLMyBuckets through identity policy, letting them return a list of all buckets owned by authenticated sender of request but missing "s3:ListBucket" action on (needed) bucket.
How can I add this permission, and should I add them to S3 or as an IAM inline policy for user?
S3 policy on needed bucket has GetObject but not ListBucket.

A: You will need to edit the policy that's attached to the user and add the "s3:ListBucket" permission as you mentioned.
As per the documentation, you need to have ListALLMyBuckets in order for ListBucket to work. So you need to have both permissions.
from the documentation for ListBucket:

Returns a list of all buckets owned by the authenticated sender of the
request. To use this operation, you must have the s3:ListAllMyBuckets
permission.

Named not for the sun-kissed skin of the area's residents, but for the gold salvaged from shipwrecks off its coastline, the Gold Coast embraces more than 60 miles of beautiful Atlantic shoreline -- from the pristine sands of Palm Beach to the legendary strip of beaches in Fort Lauderdale.
If you haven't visited the cities along Florida's southeastern coast in the last few years, you'll be amazed at how much has changed. Miles of sprawling grassland and empty lots have been replaced with luxurious resorts and high-rise condominiums. Taking advantage of their proximity to Miami, the cities that make up the Gold Coast have attracted millions of people looking to escape crowded sidewalks, traffic jams, and the everyday routines of life.
Fortunately, amid all the building, much of the natural treasure of the Gold Coast remains. There are 300 miles of Intracoastal Waterway, not to mention Fort Lauderdale's Venetian-inspired canals, and the unspoiled splendor of the Everglades is just a few miles inland.
The most popular areas in the Gold Coast are Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach. While Fort Lauderdale is a favored beachfront destination, Boca Raton and Palm Beach are better known for their country-club lifestyles and excellent shopping. Farther north is the quietly popular Jupiter, best known for spring training at the Roger Dean Stadium and for former resident Burt Reynolds. In between these better-traveled destinations are a few things worth stopping for, but not much. Driving north along the coastline is one of the best ways to fully appreciate what the Gold Coast is all about -- it's a perspective you certainly won't find in a shopping mall.
Tourists come here by the droves, but they aren't the only people coming; thousands of transplants, fleeing the increasing population influx in Miami and the frigid winters up north, have made this area their home. As a result, there was a brief construction boom in the existing cities and even westward, into the swampy areas of the Everglades. The boom is at a standstill now, obviously, though you'll still see construction on some homes contracted before the recession, in Broward County, for instance. There has also been a great revitalization of several downtown areas, including Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. These once-desolate urban centers have been spruced up and now attract more young travelers and families than ever.

EUTAW – At odds with a county commissioner, Greene County Administrator Mattie Atkins believes there's more to the county's financial woes than just stolen funds.
An investigation by state and federal agencies into a theft of funds from the county's payroll account is underway. According Commission Chairman Chip Beeker, someone managed to get the county's account information and begin drafting credit card payments from the account.
County employees are not the target of the investigation, Beeker and Atkins said.
Beeker alleged in The Times last week that sloppy bookkeeping and unreconciled checking accounts led to some payroll checks bouncing, but Atkins said the theft of funds caused the overdrafts.
"The theft caused the checks to bounce," she said.
Now, a new account has been established and Atkins said the use of on-line statements helps her keep a daily tab on the county's funds.
"I check [the accounts] almost every day," she said.
But where Beeker paints a picture of unkept records, Atkins contends the county's financial woes are tied ultimately to the construction of the county's jail and the bond issue that paid off the remaining debt on a courthouse renovation and the new jail.
"The quest to build the Greene County Jail in 2002 was a large part of the county's present financial problem," Atkins said in a letter to the editor.
She said funds from the Greene County Racing Commission – about $50,000 per year – were to be used in conjunction with a special court fee to repay the $4.59 million bond issue.
"The final step wasn't completed," she said.
That "final step" was once the Legislature had authorized the concept of a fee for such a purpose, the Legislature had to act a second time to set the amount of the fee – $50.
"It was on us to go back to the Legislature," she said. "We didn't get that done in time for it to be included in the bond."
That caused, she said, the county to pledge its oil trust fund monies, currently about $80,000 per year, and its three-mill road and bridge revenue toward the repayment of the bond.
In turn, that loss of revenue to the county's general fund has created a slight deficit the county intended on covering with excess bond payment funds, about $270,000 after the bond's escrow account obligations have been fulfilled.
Under terms of the bond issue, $633,000 must be in the account, representing two years worth of payments which are made twice annually.
Beeker said he expected to run short in the budget commissioners passed this month as well.
"It's still very tough," Atkins said, " we have to watch everything carefully."
As for the bank accounts being reconciled, Atkins said the accounts were up to date and state examiners conducted compliance audits in the county, and a private CPA firm was handling the financial audits.
"I have asked the commission for more help to hire a bookkeeper, but so far they have not done so," she said.
Atkins shares duties with a payroll clerk and an accounts payable clerk.

REVIEW: Motorola Moto G (2015)
John Reilly August 25, 2015
It's only been a couple of weeks since Motorola took the wraps of their 3 newest phones including the Moto G but we were lucky enough to be given one to test out over the last few days. This year's Moto G is a direct successor to last year's model but has some impressive tech improvements across the board. Being Motorola's entry level handset and their most wallet-friendly phone, is the Moto G worth your hard-earned cash? Read on to find out!
The Moto G's design can be seen as an evolution of last year's model with some improved features. This year's edition is even more ergonomic in the hand and has a nice weighted balance to it. The camera module has received a little design tweak which we think makes the device look that bit more premium and overall, we like the look of this year's edition of the Moto G.
What looks like more and more of a trend in top tier smartphones these days, waterproof handsets is becoming a must have for accident-prone smartphone owners. Surprisingly, for the Moto G, being an entry level phone, Motorola has decided to add IPX7 waterproofing which means the phone can withstand being placed in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes and still work afterwards.
The Moto G 2015 has the same screen as last year's model but that is definitely not a bad thing. at 5″ and 720p, you get a PPI of 294 which is more than enough for every day web browsing, text reading and overall general use. The viewing angles are also very good and it can handle direct sunlight quite well.
Running Android 5.1 Lollipop, the Moto G is right up there with all the other new Android devices in terms of its OS version and Motorola have decided to keep things simple and give you a pure version of Android which seems to be the way more and more manufacturers are going.
There is though, the welcomed inclusion of Motorola's own little handy software features such as the 'double wrist twist' to launch the camera app and the lockscreen preview functionality which all add up to a very user-friendly approach to interacting with your phone. Under the hood, there is 8GB of memory with the option to expand this via Micro SD card and there's also 1GB of RAM. Admittedly, we would have liked to have seem more RAM for a 2015 phone but being the entry level device in Motorola's line-up, we'll let them off this time.
The Moto G's 13mp camera is the exact same one that was used in last year's Motorola Nexus 6 device which is a big surprise for such an affordable handset. On the front of the device, you get a more than capable 5mp shooter but as always, it suffers somewhat in lowlight conditions.
The rear facing camera though is extremely impressive and can capture great levels of details, some impressive HDR shots (which is part of the 'auto HDR' mode) and its low-light capabilities are also quite good as well. The autofocusing could be faster but given how easy it is to use the camera app itself, the overall experience of taking photos is straightforward and painless the majority of the time.
With a larger battery at 2470mAh, the Moto G is more than capable of lasting an average day of use. With its 720p display and clean implementation of Android Lollipop, the Moto G's battery is definitely up to the task when is comes to the average smartphone user but heavy users may need to keep an eye our for power sockets once their day draws to a close.
The new Motorola Moto G, coming in with an RRP of €179 really is an impressive little device. With a nice sharp 720p display, clean and intuitive Android OS and surprisingly powerful camera, the Moto G finally shows that budget phones don't need to come with compromises anymore.

Q: How to display an image from a string in react I have featured_image that i get from an axios call, the image is saved in the src folder, src/img. It's a string and it's equal to "../img/blog1.jpg".
I can't have the background image dispalyed i believe it needs to be converted to a static image somehow.
import React from "react";
import { Link, NavLink } from 'react-router-dom';
const Post = ({ post: { title,
featured_image, category, slug, summary }, index }) => {

  return (

            <Link to={slug} className="post-v1-thumb w-inline-block">

            </Link>

{category}

                <Link to={slug} className="link-white w-inline-block hover-blog">

{title}

                </Link>

{summary}

  );
};

export default Post;

A: Since you're in the brackets, you write js, so you should use string interpolation :
style={{ backgroundImage: `url(${featured_image})`}}

A: If you are using static images in react app you better should move them to the public folder
featured_image value example 'img/1.jpg'
assuming you moved the whole folder img to public
Why would i put them in public folder?
answer:

*

*If you put any kind of file into the public folder, it will not be
processed by webpack. it will be copied into the build folder as it
is.

*To give the access to all the components/pages to this file(html/img) with one same path no matter is deep the component in folders

On the occasion of the festival "100 Years of Copyright" the Haus der Kulturen der Welt and the ensemble zeitkratzer announce the very first Arnold Schönberg Award. Composers of all ages are invited to submit Cheap Imitations of Schönberg's works. All kind of propositions are welcome. Scores / playing instructions / concepts should be as short as possible.
Subject: The basic critical-compositional question is: Did Arnold Schönberg go to too much trouble when writing out his works, and wouldn't there be much simpler ways to recognize and convey the special characteristics of a special composition? For instence rough indications as to the instrumentation, the sound factors, the melodic gesture, or the contrapuntal qualities? Reinhold Friedl has already managed to reduce Schönberg's Pierrot Lunaire to its sound gestures in such a way that even Schönberg's children deemed the work to be an "unauthorized adaptation." Since this could not be held up in terms of copyright law, this work will also be heard as part of the award ceremony.
Concert: A pre-selection of the submitted works will be performed at the Jury Concert on October 21, 2018 at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin by the ensemble zeitkratzer, under the direction of the internationally renowned curator and honorary conductor (Workers Chorus of the Copenhagen Shipyard) Thorbjørn Tønder Hansen (Copenhagen/Oslo), then publicly discussed, analyzed, and evaluated.
Jury: The following international experts confirmed to be part of the jury: Prof. Dr. Dörte Schmidt (Universität der Künste Berlin, President of Gesellschaft für Musikforschung Germany), Prof. Diedrich Diederichsen (Akademie der Künste Wien, Curator of the 2CD "Diedrich Diederichsen trifft Arnold Schönberg"), and the contemporary music specialist Nicholas Isherwood (bass baritone).
Award: The festival "100 Years of Copyright" will try to invite the finalists to the Jury Concert in Berlin. zeitkratzer is planning to record and publish the compositions of the finalists on a special Schönberg Cheap Imitation release. First Prize will include a special surprise!
Originals: The following works by Schönberg are recommended for reduction (but any other work of Arnold Schönberg can be chosen too): String Trio Op.45, Five Pieces for Orchestra, Op.16 (also individually), Suite Op.29, Variations for Orchestra Op.31, Three Pieces for Chamber Ensemble, Herzgewächse Op.20, Erwartung Op.17; any literal adoption of melodies and melodic fragments is inadmissible due to copyright!
Special Guest: Nicholas Isherwood, bass baritone.

Well, now is the perfect time. You may have questions, but don't worry, this article can help. It contains some great information, and before you know it you will be on your way to growing an amazing garden.
Turn your tool handles into convenient rulers. Tools with long handles such as hoes and rakes can double as measuring sticks. Place the handles on the floor to measure the distance between them. Then, transfer the measurements to the handle using a permanent marker. Next time you are working in the garden, you will have a large ruler at your fingertips!
TIP! Plant perennials that slugs and snails won't be interested in eating. Snails and slugs can destroy plants in just one night.
Consider planting slug-proof perennials. Snails and slugs are garden nightmares, and only need a single evening to obliterate a plant. Snails and slugs like to eat perennials with smooth and thin leaves, especially if they are young plants. Some varieties of perennials are not preferred by snails and slugs, particularly perennials that have hairy, tough leaves or a taste that isn't appetizing. Some perennial families that snails and slugs won't eat include achillea, campanula, and helleborus.
TIP! For showy flowers throughout the spring and summer, plant plenty of bulbs. Most bulbs are extremely hearty and grow easily.
If you start to notice some powdery mildew growing on your plants, there is no need to waste money on expensive chemicals. All it takes is a liquid soap, water, and baking soda mixture. Spray this on the plants once per week until that mildew goes away. The baking soda is harmless to your plants and a very effective remedy.
TIP! A set of knee pads is a great investment if your garden has a lot of low-growing plants. The time that you will have to spend on your knees in your garden can cause you unnecessary knee pain.
TIP! The best gardens from an environmental standpoint originate from seeds, instead of plants. This is a more sustainable way to start a garden.
It is a good idea to pre-soak your seeds in a dark environment overnight. Place some seeds into a small container, then fill it with water until it is almost to the top. This hydrates your seeds and jump-starts their growth. The seeds will have a better chance of surviving and maturing.
When mowing the lawn, don't mow the grass all the way down to the root. If you let your grass grow, the roots will go deeper and make your lawn more resistant to dryness. When you cut the grass too short, the roots are often not deep enough, which causes your lawn to have dry patches of brown, discolored grass.
TIP! Preparing the soil for your perennial garden is easy. With a garden spade, slice under the dirt then flip it over.
Think about putting some berry-producing evergreens into your landscape. These help to give your garden nice looking color, even during winter when most vegetation is colorless. A few examples that you could go with include the American Holly, the Winterberry, the American Cranberrybush, and the Common Snowberry.
TIP! Get more value from your property. Improving your landscape is one of the best ways to get a high return from your house.
Learn the ideal times for harvesting your vegetables. There is a specific time to pick every sort of vegetable in order to maximize its taste and cooking utility. For instance, peas and zucchinis are tastiest when picked young. However, tomatoes should be as ripe as they can be when pulled from the vine to ensure the best taste. Take the time to learn when your produce will be at its best for harvesting.
TIP! You may find an old plastic laundry basket ideal for gathering vegetables from your garden. The laundry basket is a perfect strainer for any produce run off.
It can be tough to keep insects and other plant-ruining crawlies from infesting your garden. Since your vegetables are meant to be eaten, refrain from spraying them with harsh chemicals. Frequently check your garden for pests. By noticing them at an early stage, you can simply pluck them away from your plants with your fingers.
TIP! In your compost, use green and dried plants in equal parts. Green plant material consists of spent flowers, veggie and fruit waste, leaves, weeds, and grass clippings.
Water your garden carefully. Instead of watering each individual plant with a can or hose, utilize a soaker hose, which can water all the plants at once. To avoid damaging delicate plants, you should water them with low pressure. Keep the water turned on for about two hours; while your plants are being watered, you will have time for other activities.
Hopefully, you now feel a bit more prepared to start off on your gardening adventure. Even if you thought you knew how to grow a garden properly, you definitely do now. The above tips have hopefully spurred some great ideas that you can use in your own backyard to create a garden you can be proud of.

It has become commonplace to acknowledge the following point, but it bears repeating anyway: The idea of racial classification, as we understand it now, stretches back only to Enlightenment Europe. I have stayed in inns in Germany that have been continuously operating longer than this calamitous thought. But even though we can trace race's origins without much difficulty, it seems impossible — and worse than that, woefully naïve — even to speak of an end to such persistent and flattening thinking, thinking that has led to so much human suffering, precluded and squandered so much human potential. And yet I am convinced that we will never overcome the evils of racism as long as we fail first to imagine and then to conjure a world free of racial categorization and the hierarchies it necessarily implies.

Biological races in humans

Races are highly genetically differentiated populations with sharp geographical boundaries.
Alternatively, races can be distinct evolutionary lineages within a species.
By either definition, races do not exist in humans but do exist in chimpanzees.
Adaptive traits such as skin color do not define races and are often discordant with one another.
Humans populations are interwoven by genetic interchanges; there is no tree of populations.
Races may exist in humans in a cultural sense, but biological concepts of race are needed to access their reality in a non-species-specific manner and to see if cultural categories correspond to biological categories within humans. Modern biological concepts of race can be implemented objectively with molecular genetic data through hypothesis-testing. Genetic data sets are used to see if biological races exist in humans and in our closest evolutionary relative, the chimpanzee. Using the two most commonly used biological concepts of race, chimpanzees are indeed subdivided into races but humans are not. Adaptive traits, such as skin color, have frequently been used to define races in humans, but such adaptive traits reflect the underlying environmental factor to which they are adaptive and not overall genetic differentiation, and different adaptive traits define discordant groups. There are no objective criteria for choosing one adaptive trait over another to define race. As a consequence, adaptive traits do not define races in humans. Much of the recent scientific literature on human evolution portrays human populations as separate branches on an evolutionary tree. A tree-like structure among humans has been falsified whenever tested, so this practice is scientifically indefensible. It is also socially irresponsible as these pictorial representations of human evolution have more impact on the general public than nuanced phrases in the text of a scientific paper. Humans have much genetic diversity, but the vast majority of this diversity reflects individual uniqueness and not race.
