Brexit 1) May admits impasse on reaching a customs deal
"Theresa May has admitted to Conservative MPs that Brexit negotiations are at an impasse because neither of her current options for a customs deal with the EU will work. The Prime Minister invited all 214 of her backbenchers to Downing Street to explain why she has had to go back to the drawing board in an attempt to find a replacement for the customs union. But her attempt at getting her critics on board appeared to backfire as the "technical briefings" increased fears among Eurosceptics that further delays will mean an extension of the 21-month transition period." – Daily Telegraph

Brexit 2) Little progress since March says Barnier
"Brexit talks have made "little" progress since March, the EU's chief negotiator has said. Michel Barnier said there was a "risk of failure" in two key areas – Northern Ireland, and how the agreement will be governed. He said June's EU summit was a "key rendezvous" to reach a deal that can be ratified before the UK leaves. And he defended the EU's stance over the UK's involvement in the new Galileo sat-nav system. The UK has played a key role in the programme's development so far, but faces being shut out of key elements of the programme after Brexit. UK ministers are now considering setting up a rival version." – BBC
Brexit revolution has only brought deadlock – Rachel Sylvester, The Times
Brexit 3) Rees-Mogg clashes with the PM over the Irish border
"Theresa May confronted Jacob Rees-Mogg at a meeting with Tory MPs designed to break the deadlock over Britain's future customs arrangements with the EU, The Times has learnt. The pair clashed yesterday over the impact of rival plans on the Irish border, in what witnesses described as the prime minister "sending a tough signal" to hardline Brexiteers that she was not prepared to jeopardise the Union. It came after Mrs May went over the heads of her squabbling cabinet with a personal appeal to scores of backbench Tory MPs to help to settle Britain's position. She issued an open invitation to all 315 Conservative MPs to attend Downing Street briefings on the rival options that have split her top team." – The Times

Brexit 4) Holyrood to reject the EU Withdrawal Bill
"MSPs are set to formally refuse to give Holyrood's consent to the UK's main piece of Brexit legislation. The Scottish and UK governments are at odds over the EU Withdrawal Bill and what it could mean for devolved powers. Labour, Green and Lib Dem MSPs are expected to back SNP members in rejecting the Westminster bill, saying it would restrict Holyrood's powers. The Scottish Conservatives will vote against, and have blamed the SNP for the failure to find an agreement." – BBC

Brexit 5) Delaying trade deals would cost billions warns Fox
"Britain must focus on trade deals with countries outside Europe or risk losing billions in tax revenue, Liam Fox will warn today when he joins the public cabinet fight over customs. The trade secretary will implore cabinet colleagues not to let "the practices and patterns of the past constrain the opportunities of the future" and will argue against the customs partnership option at the heart of dispute. Dr Fox, a Brexiteer, will not attack the customs partnership — a system where Britain would continue to collect EU tariffs after Brexit — by name in his speech to be made at a London club. However, he will make his misgivings clear as he attacks those who are "simply identifying how much of our current relationship we want to keep"." – The Times
Brexit 6) Corbyn dodges pleas to back Single Market
"Labour MPs pressed Jeremy Corbyn last night to back membership of the single market. Pro-EU MPs, led by Hilary Benn, made entreaties at the weekly meeting of the parliamentary Labour party…Confusion reigned in the wake of the PLP meeting, however.One pro- Remain MP claimed that Mr Corbyn had been asked to "please keep the option on the table — and he didn't not keep the option on the table". John Mann, a Leave-backing MP, insisted that "Brexit wins the day — the EEA [proposal] is dead". He claimed that Mr Corbyn was "clear that the extra House of Lords stuff won't have Labour [frontbench] support"." – The Times
Brexit 7) Morgan joins with Clegg and David Miliband for cross party protest
"The Conservative MP Nicky Morgan has revealed she will give evidence in a court case in June after she received an alleged death threat over her position on Brexit. She said her "absolute determination" not to "give in to the siren voices" was one of the reasons she had joined forces with David Miliband and Sir Nick Clegg in a cross-party campaign to persuade parliament to support some of the House of Lords amendments to the Brexit bill on the single market and customs union." – The Guardian

Grenfell campaigners "won the argument" says Hurd
"Campaigners who demanded changes to the Grenfell Tower fire inquiry have "won their argument", a government minister has said. In a U-turn, Theresa May announced last week that two experts would sit with the judge investigating the fire. It followed pressure from campaigners who warned of a "whitewash"…Police and Fire Minister Nick Hurd said there was "no intention to hang around" and paid tribute to campaigners, some of whom attended the Westminster Hall debate." – BBC
Nokes "knew about deportations earlier than claimed"
"The Home Office has been accused of being unfit for purpose and guilty of "shambolic incompetence" after letters written by Caroline Nokes, the immigration minister, appeared to contradict what she told a parliamentary committee about when she became aware of the problems experienced by highly skilled migrants. Nokes last week told Yvette Cooper, the chair of the home affairs select committee, that she hadn't had time to investigate revelations in the Guardian that at least 1,000 highly skilled migrants seeking indefinite leave to remain in the UK were wrongly facing deportation." – The Guardian
Wright to seek permission to unlock fund to help repay National Debt
"The government is set to launch a bid to use a multimillion-pound 90-year-old fund to pay down the national debt. The National Fund was established in 1928 when an anonymous donor set aside £500,000 on the sole condition that it be invested in the stock market until it was large enough to pay off the government's entire debt in one go. It was probably a response to Stanley Baldwin, the former Conservative prime minister, who in 1919 wrote a letter to The Times asking for voluntary donations from rich Britons to pay off the nation's First World War debts. In the intervening nine decades, the fund has grown to £475 million…it is understood that Jeremy Wright, the current attorney, will apply to the High Court this week to have the fund unlocked." – The Times

Afolami calls for a "Permission Value Tax"
"Fat cat developers should pay a new tax – with funds going directly to the local community, a rising Tory star has recommended. Tory MP Bim Afolami calls for a Permission Value Tax, which would ensure the roads, hospitals, schools and other infrastructure is able to keep pace with rapid new housing developments. The move would slap a levy on all landowners based on the increase in the residential value of the land when development takes place. He says his proposal would help make house-building acceptable to local people – and deliver on the pressing need to rapidly increase Britain's housing stock." – The Sun
Labour shortlist for Lewisham East
"A former Ken Livingstone adviser, an anti-Transatlantic trade treaty activist, Lewisham's deputy mayor and a former mayoral candidate have been shortlisted by Labour for the election to succeed Heidi Alexander in Lewisham East.

Bercow leads tribute to Jowell
"Tessa Jowell was the "best of us", Commons Speaker John Bercow has said as he led tributes to the late Labour politician and cancer campaigner. He told MPs her death at the age of 70 left Parliament "infinitely poorer". She was a "stellar, progressive change-maker" who had a "well of practical compassion without rival", he said. Theresa May said she was an "extraordinary politician, colleague and campaigner" who fought her illness with incredible courage and spirit." – BBC
Commons staff used to brief against bullying claims – The Guardian
Plain packaging for cigarettes "a failure"
"Plain packaging on cigarettes was branded a failure by campaigners last night after research found smoking levels have gone UP since it was brought in. A study found smoking rates in England were higher than for the same time last year before plain packaging was fully introduced. Experts compared a smoking rate of 17.1 per cent in March 2018 with March last year's rate of 16.5 per cent – an increase of 0.7 per cent." – The Sun
Peers make a new bid for a Leveson inquiry
"The House of Lords has backed an attempt to set up a new Leveson-style inquiry days after a similar proposal was voted down by MPs. The motion, an amendment to the government's Data Protection Bill, won by 39 votes — 252 to 213 — yesterday, less than a week after ministers extolled a "great victory for a free and fair press" in the Commons. The government will try to defeat the Lords amendment in the Commons today. Matt Hancock, the culture secretary, said that peers had opposed the freedom of the press." – The Times
Parliament has no business interfering with a free press – Edward Garnier, The Times
Constitutionally improper to defy MPs – Leader, Daily Telegraph
Dozens of Palestinians killed attempting to break through border into Israel
"Gaza is braced for fresh protests against Israel as the first funerals are expected to be held for 58 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces on Monday, the deadliest day since the end of the 2014 Gaza conflict. Tuesday is the 70th anniversary of what Palestinians call the Nakba, or Catastrophe, when hundreds of thousands were expelled or fled amid the creation of Israel in 1948. Weeks of angry protests were further enflamed on Monday by the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem. While Ivanka Trump and other American dignitaries gathered in the afternoon sun to celebrate the embassy opening, the Gaza border was transformed into a scene of fire and chaos as tens of thousands of protesters faced Israeli snipers. Israel's military said that it opened fire to stop Hamas, the Islamist militant group that controls Gaza, from using the protests as a distraction to break through the border fence and carry out attacks inside Israel." – Daily Telegraph

Plea to Johnson to raise Iranian prisoner case
"The husband of jailed British-Iranian mother Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has urged Boris Johnson to raise his wife's case when he meets Iran's foreign minister later. Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, 39, is serving a five-year jail sentence in Iran after being convicted of spying. But Richard Ratcliffe says his wife is facing possible new charges. Foreign Secretary Mr Johnson is due to meet his Iranian counterpart in Brussels for Iran nuclear deal talks." – BBC
DUP MP hits back at "gammon" slurs
"MP Emma Little Pengelly has hit out at the use of the slur "gammon" on social media. The South Belfast MP took to Twitter in the early hours of Sunday morning to say she was appalled at the increasing use of the term. "I'm appalled by the term "gammon" now frequently entering the lexicon of so many (mainly on the left) & seemingly be accepted. This is a term based on skin colour & age – stereotyping by colour or age is wrong no matter what race, age or community. It is just wrong," she tweet. The term is normally used as a derogatory slur normally toward white middle class Brexit supporting men whose complexion turns pink when they get over excited about issues such as the UK's impending departure from the EU, immigration matters or political correctness "gone mad"." – Belfast Telegraph
Hague: The West needs to rediscover a sense of unity
"The West, by which I mean the developed democratic nations, cannot have rigid goals for 2050 precisely because we are free societies who change our minds and want to go where science, reason, and new thinking take us. Nor do we want presidents indefinitely in office who can make a confident plan that far ahead. But we do need a collective instinct and common set of values, kept together and renewed by unifying leadership. Such a combination prevailed through the second half of the 20th century, but is seriously weakened now." – William Hague, Daily Telegraph

copyrightexpertwitness.com - (photography) - photography copyright specialists,experts witnesses and forensic consultants.
Photography is the process of making pictures by means of the action of light, typically using a camera, either using traditional (film and chemical) or digital processes. Photographs are also called "images," "photos" or "pictures." Copyright law establishes that photographs are intellectual property, and provides copyright owners with limited protections, while encouraging the creation of new works for the benefit of society. For a limited time, photography copyright owners enjoy exclusive legal rights in their photographs and may be entitled to seek remedies such as damages and injunctive relief in the event of a photography copyright infringement. Copyright registration may affect the extent to which an owner is entitled to seek remedies. The public has certain rights, including the right to fair use of photographs, throughout the copyright life of each photograph. Eventually, photographs enter the public domain, for use by and for the public. Models or subjects pictured in photographs may have the right to control the use of their likenesses under right of publicity laws and right of privacy laws. By signing a model release, a model may grant certain rights allowing the use of the model's likeness in a photograph. Where original photographic film is lost or damaged, the film may be evaluated or appraised, and a value may be estimated, based on a number of factors, including industry standards for liquidated damages, as may be memorialized in photography contracts or agreements between professional photographers and their clients. In the event of a breach of contract, the damaged party may be entitled to remedies. A photography expert can analyze a photograph using forensic methods to determine the circumstances under which the photograph was made, and to reveal details of the photograph not visible to the naked eye. A photography expert may also use photographic equipment to conduct an analysis of a location, accident scene or crime scene, or to create simulations or reenactments. Photography experts can provide consultation and/or testimony or litigation support for attorneys, plaintiffs or defendants in photography litigation.

A new era?
grvadmin
With Alpari set to take over as our official sponsors next season is this the start of a new era for West Ham? A £3 million a year deal was agreed with Alpari earlier in the week and will be our new kit sponsors taking over from our current sponsors SBOBET. Could this be the start of a series of sponsorship deals?
The reason for me saying this is because West Ham have been named as preferred bidders of the Olympic Stadium and surely with us moving into the stadium we will be granted with a number of sponsorship offers. Already it has been rumoured that West Ham will be getting a new kit brand come the end of the season and this would make sense with the new kit sponsor. Many people have been claiming that Adidas are set to become the new brand of our beloved kit, and this would make sense with a move to the Olympic Stadium on the horizon. If this is true then this could prove to be a good move for West Ham as many people are saying that they would love to have an Adidas kit and also there is bound to be a bit of money involved. Adidas must be up there with the likes of Umbro and Nike in terms of football kits so a multi-million pund sum will no doubt come West Ham's way.
In football we all know that money speaks volumes. With all this extra money being pumped into the club then surely this would be used wisely by the owners, whether it be on contracts, new players or even on the club's debt. For me I would like to see the money going into new players as we need to make sure that come next season if we are in the Premier League then we need to ensure survival. I know that the rumoured Adidas sponsorship could be in a few more years but we would have some money from the £9 million Alpari deal. Although this is not a lot in football nowadays there must be some decent players we can buy for this. For all we know we might find the next Michu.
These sponsorship deals could all be linked with the Olympic Stadium and although I would love to stay at Upton Park, I think that we must move to take the club forward. This could prove all worth while if we do gain a few pounds out of it.
What do you make of all of this? Would you be happy to have Adidas as the new kit sponsor? Do you think that West Ham must move to take the club forward?

from Collective-Evolution Website
Imagine a tantalizing spiral of some of the driest talk you have ever heard - a combination of watching CSPAN mixed with paint drying, all the while the world is hoping for a serious climate plan to unfold…
I think that's a fairly accurate description of how this year's Paris Climate talks felt to me over the 2 weeks I was personally in Paris.
Truthfully, the amount of lawyers, red tape, cautious commitments, and spinning in circles was enough to make me sick, but I guess this is to be expected when 195 countries have to find some kind of common ground.
Unfortunately there was also a strong resemblance between the COP21 talks and a dog and pony show.
Generally pompous people parading around the 'amazing' things their countries have done that vaguely resemble green initiatives, all the while smiling graciously for the cameras and offering up headline worthy sound-bites for their local news stations to broadcast back at home, mixed with some of the most mundane commentary and judges watching over the process - this is what this 'historic' event really looked like.
At every opportunity, each country's bureaucrats and politicians spent their time discussing the importance of this deal - assuring us of their country's willingness to act - and the respect they have for other countries' efforts and thoughts on the matter.
This played on for days like a broken record playing in an empty house.
Although the headlines might have alluded to a much more "historic moment" - the only real action steps that were agreed upon were some of the investments countries would make towards this change (although where the money goes is beyond me), and the only thing binding about it all is that countries need to track and monitor their emissions.
The deal itself does NOT mention fossil fuels or gas, but just says Net Zero, which means that although they might be looking to reduce carbon emissions, this deal does not help reduce pollution.
If the oil and gas companies were to promise to offset their pollution by planting trees, this would of course be a step up from where we are today, but it doesn't mean they will stop pillaging and polluting our planet.
If you ask me, it was a historic failure, and to think that all the real talks happen behind closed doors made it much scarier…
Lobbying Is A Serious Problem
"COP21 brought to you by giant corporations protecting their interests" should have been the slogan for the official 'solutions; events happening at the talks.
I kid you not, on day one of arriving at breakfast I was handed an information book on "Why Environmentalist Are Wrong About Nuclear" and my heart sank.
The number of false and dirty solutions being pushed by lobbyist both to the public and behind close doors is terrifying.
We've all seen the scary documentaries that outline how companies use their dollars and cents to corrupt small town politicians or whole states, but to see them operate on a world level is concerning at best.
Worse yet, the Paris attacks provided a rather convenient excuse to remove protesters from pointing out the corporate sponsored false solutions.
I'm not calling conspiracy here folks, so calm down - but what I am saying is they took advantage of that tragedy as a means of muzzling any dissent the activists and even journalists were trying to uncover.
Dr. Vandana Shiva describes it best in an interview she did with the Valhalla Movement:
People Are Clear What They Stand Against But Not Always What They Stand For
We all have a pretty good idea of what we should stop doing to our planet, but I do not believe the solutions, or what we should be doing instead, are as clear.
Having spoken to many insightful activists and responsible citizens from around the world who put on some pretty remarkable demonstrations, tribunals, and events, I discovered there was a lot of anger and disgust with corporations but much less display of how we can further support the growth of solutions.
Awareness is clearly a battle that has been hard fought by these groups but I feel like now the tides need to shift into the implementation of tangible alternatives surrounding people's everyday lifestyle.
Greenpeace uses eco-paint
in a bold statement during the Paris Climate Talks.
Protest without clear demands and alternative and definitive action plans push change but they don't create change.
Many many topics were overlooked by most, including the topic of industrial agriculture (watch 'Cowspiracy' if you haven't already!), and the talks spent a lot of time discussing the reduction of carbon emissions but very little time discussing the sequestration and storing of carbon that is possible with restoring proper soil biology.
The Grassroots are Truly Rising…
Despite what the media will cover as the main focus of the talks - I think the real important talks happened in the bars and restaurants and less known events happening around the city via the convergence of many movements and organizations coming together and finding more ways to collaborate.

Although it was a little scary to see how much focus was placed on just telling the story and how overly flooded the space was with media and journalists, it was nice to see that a lot of activists had mobilized, and we began to see a lot more communities finding ways of being sustainable as well.
I know us at the Valhalla Movement, alongside WISDOM, are looking to build a school in 2016 as an example, but there were many seeds being planted in people's minds as well.
The many discussions surrounding the ideas of collaboration versus competition which arose give me hope for the world we know is possible in our hearts…
I can say with certainty, however, that the Grassroots still need a LOT of help!
We need people to start spending their time and resources supporting the solutions they do feel are worthy of their attention on a daily basis. In a follow up article I will outline a few steps you can take to make a deep impact for the good of us all.
There is Hope But Not in This 'Historic' Deal
In my mind this deal will go down in history as similarly underwhelming as the Kyoto Protocol.
It's a start, sure, but it won't stop the status quo until everyday people demand change and consumers start voting with their dollars.
The agreement states that the parties will hold temperatures to "well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels," however the target date for such is by 2100, with emissions set to officially peak "as soon as possible."
Could this be more vague...?
In fact, based on expert projections, many still believe we are headed towards 3+ degrees of warming…
Thus I leave you with a fairly grim but very real outlook on why we need to act WELL before 2100 and we cannot wait for governments, corporations, or talks to take the actions necessary to mitigate some serious suffering on our planet.

Q: How to create multiple executables or libraries from a list of names in a Makefile I want to build a set of executables or libraries from a list of names. They all build the same way and basically need two files that are lexiograhically connected:
X.exe : X.o X_y.o
    $(CC) -o $@ $^

In my makefile I want to just list all my X:s and automatically build all the .exe's. So from
Xs : a b c

I want the Makefile to execute as if I had written the rules
a.exe : a.o a_y.o
b.exe : b.o b_y.o
c.exe : c.o c_y.o

Of course this is to simplify adding another X.
My basic problem seems to be that the definition of Xs above is a set of names and I need to break that up into separate rules. I know about patterns and have tried to use the foreach text function, but failed.
Can this be done?

A: Looks like pattern rules is the way to go:
Xs=a b c

default: $(patsubst %,%.exe,$(Xs))

%.exe : %.o %_y.o
    $(CC) -o $@ $^

Prerequisites of a pattern rule can use % several times.
Note that you don't need to use foreach. Simply tell make all the targets you want to build.

New York comes in first place for being the most expensive place to live in the U.S.

New York City at night from the Top of the Rock
Danielle Giguere, Journalist
As we continue to grow up, we become more and more curious about the next chapter in life like the expenses of living on your own, and where the best fit to live is for yourself.
New York seems to be one of the most popular places people like to live, even though it's quite spendy. If New York is a place that interests you, here are a few things you should know.
"New York City" by Andos_pics is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0
Going about your day, and walking along the streets, it's very probable that you will run into a millionaire because one in every 25 people walking down the busy crowded streets of New York is a millionaire. Crazy right! Unfortunately, statistics show that the odds of running into someone who is homeless is way more likely, the federal poverty rate for an individual is $12,000 a year. New York is a city of extremes, but it's not for everyone. If you're wondering how to live in an apartment in the cities of New York, then keep reading.
Manhattan has by far the most expensive neighborhoods in New York, says Eric Conover. A condo in Manhattan called 'central park property' sold for $238 million in January of 2019.
"NYC: Soho Street Photo" by Professor Bop is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0
Soho is a neighborhood in Manhattan where there are many small, trendy coffee shops, designer boutiques, fancy chain stores, and high-end restaurants. Throughout the entire city of New York, it is a home to the most costly residential real estate with many oversized penthouses, condos, and historic Puck Buildings that cost at a standard of $2.8 million.
The main chunk of the paychecks you earn is probably going to go towards rent. Like most houses and apartments, they sell fast, so when you have your eyes on something you better make up your mind quickly. The apartment can be yours within minutes of agreeing. They say your gross annual income should be 40x the monthly rent, so you should be in the range of making $150,000 per year to rent out a small one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan.
The most realistic budget is to live outside of Manhattan. Manhattan is the most popular and smallest out of New York's five boroughs which are The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Manhattan. Manhattan is where the sky-scraping paying jobs are and also where the most substantial businesses possess their headquarters. For way, less money, living outside of Manhattan gives you more options for transportation.

Even though New York has high expenses, the average income in New York is higher than the standard income nationally. According to a popular tourist site, Thecrazytourist.com, the top three most favorable places to live in New York are Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Harlem, Manhattan, and Battery Park City, Lower Manhattan.
The home value in Bay Ridge ranges from about $700,000 to $1,000,000 and has a population of 79,371. Harlem has a population of 116,345, and the average cost of housing is $1,015,300. In Battery Park City, the average home value comes in at over one million dollars, and its population is 9,252.
Make sure that the place you choose to live is in your budget. If that's not the case, you could always live with roommates. Are you a fit for this uproarious city? Do you have what it takes to live here?

Almost half a million Australians are living with chronic viral hepatitis, but pregnant women with the infection face particular risks, as do their unborn babies.
It's a problem being addressed by two of St Vincent's leading specialists – Clinical Director of Medicine and Emergency Services Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne, Kumar Visvanathan, who specialises in infectious diseases, and Professor Alex Thompson, Director of Gastroenterology and Professorial Fellow at the University of Melbourne.
Together they are working on a range of research projects to investigate the immune system's response to, and develop new treatments for, chronic hepatitis B and C.
Chronic hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. It's the leading cause of liver transplants in Australia, and liver cancer is the fastest growing cause of cancer-related deaths in this country.
One area of their research is trying to understand why pregnant women with hepatitis can have a flare-up in their condition. A/Prof Visvanathan says the research is focusing on what's triggering the pregnant women's immune system to react that way.
"If we can determine what is making them flare, we will know which patients should be on anti-viral drugs during pregnancy and which patients can get off the drugs without incident," he says.
About 30 per cent of pregnant patients with hepatitis B are at risk of a rapid escalation in their condition in the first few weeks after they have their baby.
Another study is looking at preventing mother–baby transmission of hepatitis B infection by treating patients with antiviral therapy late in pregnancy.
"In some parts of Melbourne we are seeing prevalence rates as high as 7 to 8 per cent, which rivals the rates in mainland China. This is an enormous health issue that we are starting to address with antiviral treatment during pregnancy to prevent vertical transmission of the HBV to the baby," A/Prof Visvanathan says.
Prof Thompson's postdoctoral work at Duke University involved a genome-wide association study that discovered the link between a particular gene (IL28B) and the body's response to interferon-based treatment. In their current research, funded by grants from the NHMRC and the Australian Centre for HIV and Hepatitis, the team is trying to understand how that link works in hepatitis C treatment.
Prof Thompson says that this link has led to a standard test to determine the best course of treatment for hepatitis C patients who are considering antiviral therapy.
"However, we don't understand why this occurs – but we are sure the innate immune system plays an important role," he says. Two PhD candidates, Dr Jacinta Holmes and Dr SweeLin Chen Yi Mei, are working on this problem.
A/Prof Visvanathan says the research asks two central questions – "Why is this happening to our patients?' and 'How can we use this knowledge to improve the care of our patients? "We want to clearly define the role of the innate immune system in diseases so we can develop new therapeutics and biomarkers," he says.
Both researchers run a number of clinical trials evaluating new therapies for hepatitis C and hepatitis B in partnership with industry.
"The new antiviral agents in development for hepatitis C are incredibly exciting, and represent a major medical breakthrough," says Prof Thompson.
The team believes that it may even be possible in the future to eradicate hepatitis C from the Australian community. If the transmission of hepatitis C can be interrupted, the prevalence of the disease will dramatically decrease over the next two decades.
"These are very exciting times in this research area," Prof Thompson says.

/*
Given an m * n matrix M initialized with all 0's and several update operations.

Operations are represented by a 2D array, and each operation is represented by an array with two positive integers a and b,
which means M[i][j] should be added by one for all 0 <= i < a and 0 <= j < b.

You need to count and return the number of maximum integers in the matrix after performing all the operations.

Example 1:
Input:
m = 3, n = 3
operations = [[2,2],[3,3]]
Output: 4
Explanation:
Initially, M =
[[0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0]]

After performing [2,2], M =
[[1, 1, 0],
 [1, 1, 0],
 [0, 0, 0]]

After performing [3,3], M =
[[2, 2, 1],
 [2, 2, 1],
 [1, 1, 1]]

So the maximum integer in M is 2, and there are four of it in M. So return 4.
Note:
The range of m and n is [1,40000].
The range of a is [1,m], and the range of b is [1,n].
The range of operations size won't exceed 10,000.
*/

//just check to 'overlap', and only 'smaller' number will cause overlap,

class Solution {
    public int maxCount(int m, int n, int[][] ops) {
        for(int[] pair: ops){
            m = Math.min(pair[0],m);
            n = Math.min(pair[1],n);
        }
        return m*n;
    }

Attracting new talent to the industry could now be made easier with a masters degree in highway engineering management extended to include all private sector firms across the country.
The UK's first masters degree to train the next generation of roads engineers has been extended to include all private sector firms across the country.
EM Highway Services is the first to send a student on South East 7's (SE7) two-year MSc in highway engineering management.
Councils outside the group of seven local authorities that make up SE7 have also been invited to send staff on the course launched in 2012 with Brighton University.
Previously only SE7 councils and their contractors, such as Kier, could enrol students.
The latest group started last month, with students' time divided between learning on the job at one of the SE7 members or their contractors and university lectures.
SE7 was formed to find ways to save millions of pounds and improve services. Each council focuses on a specific area of work. Surrey has the lead role for highways, with other councils in charge of areas such as IT and special education needs.
Surrey leader David Hodge (pictured) said: "Our course was created to make sure we have highways engineers ready and able to go the extra mile and it's great to be able to extend it to the private sector and other councils beyond the SE7 group.
"We're serious about improving our roads by doing more for less and that means equipping the next generation of senior highways managers with the blend of technical and managerial skills they will need now and in the future."
Seven students started the latest course. Study areas include contracts, engineering theory and design, asset and procurement management and personnel management.
The seven local authorities involved in SE7 cover Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Brighton and Hove and Medway.

Dark web scammers exploit Covid-19 fear and doubt

"They're exploiting the fear, uncertainty and doubt people are experiencing during the pandemic, and using the anxiety and desperation to get people to buy things or click on things they wouldn't have otherwise," says Morgan Wright, a former senior adviser to the US Department of State anti-terrorism assistance programme.
He's talking about the scammers and criminals that inhabit the "dark web" who have found a new angle – anxiety over Covid-19.
Mr Wright, who is now chief security adviser at security software company SentinelOne, used to teach behavioural analysts at the US National Security Agency (NSA) about the exploitation of human behaviour.
He is now seeing some of those techniques being used on the dark web, an encrypted part of the internet that can be accessed using popular networks such as Tor.
The Tor browser is privacy-focused, meaning it can obscure who is using it and what data is being accessed. It offers bad actors a way to operate with a degree of impunity, as law enforcement find it much more difficult to track down criminals that use it.

Since the beginning of the global pandemic, marketplaces on the dark web have seen a rise in Covid-19 related products and services. Sought-after N95 masks, gowns, gloves and the drug chloroquine have all been listed on these marketplaces. Last month, security software firm IntSights found blood allegedly belonging to recovered coronavirus patients was even being offered for sale.
Criminals hope a heightened sense of fear will make people rush to buy these products, and as a result these items are not cheap; an Australian Institute of Criminology report found the average fake vaccine was being sold for about $370 (£300), while one supposedly sourced from China was selling for between $10-15,000 (£8-12,000).
One of the reasons for the rise in such sales may be because many fraudsters are having to turn from their normal methods of making money on the dark web – such as selling fake flights booked using stolen airmiles – because these industries are currently dormant.
Many criminals also see an opportunity – as the majority of people are working from home, there is a greater chance of lax cyber security in place.
"There was suddenly a huge shift [on the dark web] of talking about vulnerabilities in collaboration software when they realised people were going to be working from home," says IntSights chief security officer Etay Maor.
More Technology of Business
Phishing scams have also been on the rise. These are where fraudsters pretend to be a different organisation or person by email, hoping the person will provide some login details or personal data, which can then be used to steal money or someone's identity.
"The phishing attacks started with those pretending to be from the NHS, and then extended to secondary organisations that are related to Covid-19 like banks or HMRC emailing about funding, grants or being furloughed," says Javvad Malik, security advocate at training company KnowBe4.
"Now there are Covid-19 related phishing templates making their way into all of the phishing kits that are available on the dark web – meaning people can imitate Apple or LinkedIn with a set of standard templates," he adds.
In addition, many services and products, including phishing kits are being offered at discount in "coronavirus sales".
"There are people who have been specialising in phishing pages, shady VPNs or spamming services for a number of years, who are now offering discounts because they believe it's the best time to make money and spread these kits," says Liv Rowley, threat intelligence analyst at Blueliv, a computer and network security firm.

Intelligence analyst Liv Rowley monitors dark web scammers
The dark web was designed by the US Naval Research Laboratory, with the idea of enabling human rights activists and people within the military to talk and collaborate in a secure, anonymous way.
While the introduction of bitcoin enabled criminals to make money on the dark web, there remains a huge number of users that opt to use it for its initial purpose – speaking to others anonymously on forums.
According to Mr Malik, these forums have often been used to fuel conspiracy theories around the virus.
"Conspiracies about 5G being the vehicle of this virus, or bioweaponry or that Bill Gates is the man behind it tend to crop up on the dark web," he says.
As social media companies and other news outlets crack down on misinformation, many others may be pushed onto the dark web. These forums often act as a gateway to marketplaces, for people to plug their products or services to a targeted audience. This could be a way for fraudsters to make further money in the months to come.
Javvad Malik
Conspiracy theories flourish on the dark web, says Javvad Malik
The flipside to this is that many journalists, activists and citizens may be using the dark web to communicate in countries where there is a lot of censorship. Tor versions of many news outlets, including the BBC and New York Times, may be used if the original sites are blocked by governments or states, for instance.
Netblocks, a digital rights advocacy group says that many countries have cut access to the web in different ways, as they seek to control the flow of information about the coronavirus outbreak.
Two ransomware groups had said they would not attack any hospitals or healthcare organisations during the pandemic, but as Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab outlined in a recent press briefing, there is evidence that criminal gangs are actively targeting national and international organisations that are responding to the pandemic – including hospitals.
"These organisations are targeted because of how vulnerable they are at this time and because of the likelihood that a ransom would be paid," says Charity Wright, cyber threat intelligence adviser at IntSights.
The co-ordination and orchestration of many of these attacks often begin on the dark web.
Dark Web scammers are targeting healthcare, says Etay Maor
"We are seeing more offerings on the dark web specifically for healthcare-related information and for targeting healthcare facilities and doctors. There's even a database someone has created on the dark web with all kinds of information about medical staff," says Etay Maor from IntSights.
At its core, the dark web may still be being used for the same reasons it was intended to be used for – from a privacy and security perspective. But criminals are using this to try to exploit a global crisis for financial gain.
"That's the double-edged sword that as a society we haven't quite worked out: how do we safeguard freedom of speech and ensure privacy, but at the same time track down and stop people abusing those freedoms?" says Javvad Malik.

A few of MY staples….
A few people have sent me messages on instagram asking me what I tend to buy repeatedly or what I consider to be my favorite "staples." One person was comical and said, "You never seem to repeat the same outfits, but you must have a few things you wear over and over again." And….well…. yes of course I do!!!!! In fact, I have a few items I actually repeat ALOT!!!!! Here are my "repeat" offenders or items that I keep buying over and over again!!!!
Lululemon Power Y tank in black….I love this……first of all, it has built in bra cups so it is perfect as a layer or standing alone. It holds up during workouts and it also looks amazing under a blazer with jeans and heels. I must have at least 4 of these in my drawer. I pack this year round on every trip I take. They never wrinkle and if your forget your bra…well it's all good when you have this with you!
As you can see I have worn it in a variety of seasons!
3. Gucci Guilty and Pink Sugar rollerballs…..These are my two favorite perfumes and I like the rollerballs because they are easy to keep in your purse or suitcase, or in your car. I also think they last longer and give a stronger scent then the sprays because they roll directly on the skin.
4. L'Oreal Lash Primer….This is by far my favorite primer, and it makes your lashes look super long. I use this every single day of my life!
5. American Eagle Jegging Jean….Super comfy….never stretch out….really affordable…..and I love how American Eagle distresses their jeans. If you have not tried on a pair, I recommend you do so. Also, check out the variety of sizes!!
6. Lululemon Align Pants…..I work out in these. I wear the ankle length in the summer. I wear these out with heels and boots….I am officially obsessed….not to mention they are ridiculously comfortable. I must have 5-7 pairs easily…mostly black. The high waist and the seam design on your bum area are super flattering!
7. Bralettes from Target….I love how these look under an over-sized sweatshirt or sweater or t-shirt. Target has my favorite ones. They are inexpensive, super comfortable, and have a ton of colors and sizes too. I bought black, white, grey, and red there for close to the price of 1 or 2 from more expensive stores.
8. Express Portofino Blouse…..This is a non-wrinkle blouse that comes in long sleeves and sleeveless and more colors and prints to even count. There literally is one for everyone. This is another item I tend to pack a lot because it can be worn in all seasons…plus the fact that it is wrinkle free.
Express often has buy one get one half off sales on this blouse, and sometimes online you can find prints and colors on clearance.
If you have any questions locating these items, please reach out!!!!

Lampard backs Mou to stay at Chelsea
Frank Lampard believes his crisis-racked former club Chelsea need an urgent shake-up to rescue their season, but does not think that should mean manager Jose Mourinho is sacked.
Lampard, the club's record goalscorer who captained Chelsea to their Champions League triumph in 2012, said he did not know if besieged Portuguese coach Mourinho had lost the dressing room, but said the champions' players were under-performing.
Speaking after watching Chelsea in Monday's 2-1 defeat at Leicester City, who now top the Premier League, Lampard said their current plight was, for him, "impossible."
"They are good players, but far too many of them are under-performing and they have been for a while," he told Sky Sports. "This is Chelsea we are talking about now.
"Chelsea on a bad year should be top six. They should still be there or thereabouts, but where they are just above the relegation zone is impossible."
British bookmakers slashed the odds on Mourinho, who said he felt his work was "betrayed" by his players' performance at Leicester, being the next premier league manager to be dismissed to 8/11 on Tuesday.
The result left Chelsea in 16th place, just one point above the relegation zone after nine defeats in 16 league games, and 20 points adrift of leaders Leicester.
"I don't know whether he's lost them, but something has to change. It has to change right now – whether it's attitude, or performance, or something else, it has to change," said Lampard, 37, who made 648 appearances for Chelsea and scored 211 goals.
Asked about the likelihood of Mourinho being sacked, Lampard said: "That's only one man's decision and that will be Roman Abramovich.
"He's probably looking at it very closely. Obviously, we've been here before with Chelsea, when managers change midway through the season.
"I don't know how many times you can do that. We had some good results from doing it before, but we had a different set of players at that point.
"But I have to say that what they set out to do when Jose Mourinho came back was to have a long-term plan. What can they gain by getting rid of him now?
"They are probably not going to make the top four anyway. Or the top six. They're not going to get relegated, if we are honest, so I'm sure there's a view from Roman Abramovich to say 'hang on – let's see what happens at the end of the season'.
"Why make a rash change that can't really affect the year that much? See where we are at the end of the season."

In the summer of 1964, Sheila travelled to Mississippi as part of the "Freedom Summer" efforts to help organize blacks and challenge the restrictions that prohibited them from voting.
She wanted to spend the full summer there, but due to her parents' concern, was limited to a shorter trip, probably under the auspices of SNCC.
She spent her time there traveling to small towns in the midst of intense racial tension. On June 21, three other young white northern organizers were murdered by a local posse.
During this time, Sheila travelled with the Deacons for Defense and Justice, an armed political black self-defence group.
On a few occasions, Sheila mentioned a story from this time of driving around back roads in rural Mississippi in a car full of Deacons, young black men carrying guns, and being followed by another car, filled with armed white men; the Deacons urged Sheila to duck her head down, for fear that if the other car had noticed that a white girl was riding with them, it might have resulted in a confrontation and shoot-out.

ArgumentError: argument 1: <class 'TypeError'>: Don't know how to convert parameter 1

Can you help me figuring it out? My first idea was that maybe input data does not match but it doesn't matter if I transpose or not, the error is the same.

A: Get in the habit of always specifying .argtypes and .restype for your functions.  the defaults expect integer/pointer inputs and an integer return value.  The numpy helper numpy.ctypeslib.ndpointer can help specify the exact type and shape of the required numpy array.
Example C API and Python code:
test.c
#ifdef _WIN32
#   define API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#   define API
#endif

API double Test(double* pdata) {
    double sum = 0.0;
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        sum += pdata[i];
    return sum;
}

test.py
import ctypes as ct
import numpy as np

mydll = ct.CDLL('./test')
mydll.Test.argtypes = np.ctypeslib.ndpointer(dtype=ct.c_double, shape=(10,)),
mydll.Test.restype = ct.c_double
data = np.array([18.1000, 1.1000, 0.2222, 0.2115, 0.0663, 0.5000, 352.0000, 0, 0, 42.0000])
print(mydll.Test(data))

Output:

Facts about the presidency of Donald Trump
Donald Trump served as President of the United States for four years until he lost re-election in 2020 and had to leave the White House.
Trump was elected president in November 2016, with Hillary Clinton as the Democrat's running mate.
He won the election by 306 to 232 electoral delegates, but fell short of Clinton by nearly 3 million votes.
Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States in January 2017.
During his presidency, he implemented a wide range of controversial measures, including banning immigration from Muslim countries, building a wall against Mexico and withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization.
One of his most important victories was the appointment of three conservative justices to the Supreme Court. He has also appointed a number of other conservative federal judges.
He also started a trade war with China, introduced sweeping tax reform with tax cuts for everyone, especially the rich, and moved the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Special counsel Robert Mueller concluded that his campaign was helped by Russia to win the 2016 election, but found insufficient evidence to implicate Trump himself.
Trump was impeached in 2020, accused of trying to pressure Ukraine into investigating Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden for corruption. The Republican majority acquitted him.
Trump is accused of unstable handling of the Corona pandemic, which has undermined relatively good economic development and led to the United States becoming one of the most affected countries in the world. About 400,000 died in 2020.
In November, Trump lost re-election against Biden by 232 to 306 electoral delegates and about 7 million votes fewer than the opposition candidate.
However, he refused to concede defeat, tried desperately to overturn the election, and ended up impeached again, accused of inciting his followers to storm Congress while approval of the election was pending.
On February 13, 43 Republican senators acquitted Trump. Two years later, Trump is still spreading conspiracy theories that he actually won the election.

My H1b stamping was done successfully. I need to thank you for making this entire process a cake walk.
I have worked with many (5) attorneys so far and I strongly feel, Srividya is one of the very best immigration attorneys in the US that we have worked with. She has an in-depth understanding of immigration matters, is very efficient, sharp and very flexible to work with. She demonstrates a deep and clear understanding of the complicated laws governing immigration not just restricted to overlapping statuses and grey areas in between visa transfers.
She gives undivided attention to the cases and is very responsive to calls / emails or questions I had on my case. She is also very caring and approachable, sometimes I would be stressed and email my questions to her even after work hours and I would receive a response back right away. I had a sense of clarity, confidence and hope even after the very first conversation with her. She would take care to grind through the tiniest of details to make sure everything was well understood and accurately laid out in the petition.
Not only for me, I heard other clients of hers, have also had stunning results in getting their complications resolved with favorable outcomes based on simple yet effective steps per her recommendation. I felt relaxed and confident that my case is in safe hands. I would highly recommending hiring her for hassle free, quick, clean and above all peaceful visa procedures. Fees for her is probably the best money you would ever spend.
My niece had delays with her I-20 renewal before the holidays and was up to a challenge to continue the next semester. We approached Immigration Attorney Srividya Krishnamurthy and inquired about alternate options if Visa renewal did not happen in time.
Thanks especially to Attorney Srividya Krishnamurthy for her effort, knowledge, and expertise. She clearly demonstrated her legal acumen and explained the process to guide us to secure the I-20 approval on time.
We were so relieved after speaking to her. It gives immense satisfaction when you deal with a very knowledgeable, approachable and very helpful immigration attorney who treats client's issue as their personal one and give their 100% to resolve it.
Thanks again to Attorney Srividya Krishnamurthy and very knowledgeable Law Firm for their swift and immediate response in resolving our case.
