The Data Protection Principles provide the conditions on which an organisation is permitted to process personal data. If an organisation cannot satisfy the Data Protection Principles (and if no exemption or derogation applies) then such processing will be unlawful. Consequently, it is vital for organisations to understand these Principles.
The nature of an organisation's business, and the sector in which it operates, make no difference to that organisation's obligation to comply with the Data Protection Principles. Hence, all types of organisations are affected.
Organisations need to ensure that their data processing activities are carried out in accordance with the Data Protection Principles set out in the GDPR. In particular, organisations should pay close attention to the principles of transparency and data minimisation while implementing new data processing activities.
The requirement to process personal data fairly and lawfully is extensive. It includes, for example, an obligation to tell data subjects what their personal data will be used for.
Personal data had to be processed fairly and lawfully.
The GDPR introduced an additional compliance burden on organisations (albeit one that was implied under the Directive). It requires that organisations take additional care when designing and implementing data processing activities.
Personal data may only be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and must not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes. (Further processing of personal data for archiving purposes in the public interest, or scientific and historical research purposes or statistical purposes, in accordance with Art.89(1), is permitted—see Chapter 17).
The GDPR brought limited changes to the principle of purpose limitation. Further processing of personal data for archiving, scientific, historical or statistical purposes is permitted, but is subject to the additional safeguards provided in Art.89 of the GDPR.
The principle of data minimisation is essentially the idea that, subject to limited exceptions, an organisation should only process the personal data that it actually needs to process in order to achieve its processing purposes.
Personal data had to be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which those data were collected and/or further processed.
Personal data must be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which those data are processed.
The GDPR replaced the obligation to ensure that personal data are not excessive with a more restrictive obligation to ensure that personal data are "limited to what is necessary". Organisations should carefully review their data processing operations to consider whether they process any personal data that are not strictly necessary in relation to the relevant purposes.
There are obvious risks to data subjects if inaccurate data are processed. Therefore controllers are responsible for taking all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data are accurate.
Personal data needed to be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. Every reasonable step had to be taken to ensure that data which were inaccurate or incomplete were either erased or rectified.
Personal data must be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. Every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate are either erased or rectified without delay.
The GDPR did not materially change the accuracy principle. The GDPR specifies that the erasure or rectification of inaccurate personal data must be implemented without delay, but that requirement was implicit in the wording of the Directive.
The idea that personal data should not be retained for longer than necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected, or for which they are further processed, is key to ensuring fair processing.
Personal data should have been kept in a form that permitted identification of data subjects for no longer than was necessary for the purposes for which the data were collected or for which they were further processed. Member States were obliged to implement appropriate safeguards for personal data stored for longer periods for historical, statistical or scientific use.
Personal data must be kept in a form that permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed. Personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, or scientific, historical, or statistical purposes in accordance with Art.89(1) and subject to the implementation of appropriate safeguards.
There are specific provisions on the processing of personal data for historical, statistical or scientific purposes (see Chapter 17).
The principle should be read in light of the "right to be forgotten" (see Chapter 9) under which data subjects have the right to erasure of personal data, in some cases sooner than the end of the maximum retention period.
Controllers are responsible for ensuring that personal data are kept secure, both against external threats (e.g., malicious hackers) and internal threats (e.g., poorly trained employees).
The controller had to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.
The GDPR moved this obligation into the Data Protection Principles, reinforcing the idea that data security is a fundamental obligation of all controllers. However, the principle itself is essentially unchanged.
The principle of accountability seeks to guarantee the enforcement of the Data Protection Principles. This principle goes hand-in-hand with the growing powers of DPAs.
The controller had to ensure compliance with the Data Protection Principles.
Under the GDPR, the controller is obliged to demonstrate that its processing activities are compliant with the Data Protection Principles. This obligation is expanded upon in Chapter 10, which sets out the obligations of controllers.
The changes introduced by the GDPR to the Data Protection Principles are not revolutionary. However, they do consolidate the importance of those principles in respect of data processing activities. In particular, the principles of transparency and minimisation of data, as well as the requirement of data integrity and confidentiality, are now clearly established as Data Protection Principles.
Many non-EU organisations collect personal data and then later decide the purposes for which they wish to use those data. The Directive did not permit this approach, and the GDPR tightened the restrictions further, stating that organisations should not collect data that are not necessary for a specified purpose that has been notified to data subjects.
Organisations must ensure that, in relation to all processing activities by default, they process only the minimum amount of personal data necessary to achieve their lawful processing purposes. For example, in connection with an online service, a business must not collect personal data (e.g., contact details) that are not strictly necessary in connection with the provision of that service, unless the data subject chooses to provide those personal data. This is likely to require many businesses to re-think their data processing activities from the ground up.
Each organisation should carefully consider the extent to which it will need to amend its existing data collection practices in order to comply with these restrictions.
Q. Organisation A is a reinsurer. It provides services to insurance companies. Over the years it has collected large amounts of personal data relating to insured data subjects. It would now like to combine data from its various customers into a single database, to enable it to price its products more accurately. Can it do this?
A. Personal data collected for one purpose (e.g., performance of an insurance contract) cannot be used for a new, incompatible purpose (e.g., creating a database of information about insured data subjects to set prices more accurately). Organisation A might be able to achieve its aims by taking additional steps (e.g., obtaining the consent of the affected individuals—see Chapter 8) or by anonymising the data before creating the database (subject to the need to ensure that such anonymisation is, itself, lawful processing of personal data).


ALBUQUERQUE - Creating a dialogue about problems facing agriculture in northern New Mexico will be the focus of a "Sustainable Communities-Sustainable Agriculture Workshop" for farmers, local officials and civic organizations Jan. 27 in Santa Fe.
New Mexico State University's Cooperative Extension Service and the National Catholic Rural Life Conference (NCRLC) are co-sponsoring the event at the Santa Fe County Extension office at 3229 Rodeo Road on the county fairgrounds.
"Small farms and rural communities in northern New Mexico are struggling to sustain their quality of life," said Edmund Gomez, executive director of NMSU's Rural Agricultural Improvement and Public Affairs Project, based in Alcalde. "We're basically at the crossroads. If we want local agriculture and rural traditions to survive, we have to find answers to the problems, and find them fairly soon."
The workshop will include presentations and panel discussions about public lands, acequia (ditch irrigation) systems, water rights and adjudication, and marketing opportunities. It will also examine community responses to sustainable development issues, such as strategies for sustaining quality of life in rural communities, confronting health issues in northern New Mexico and reinforcing a commitment to cultural preservation and land stewardship.
"We're particularly reaching out to long-term agricultural producers and their families - indigenous populations who have been on the land for generations and who are so closely tied to the cultural, social and economic traditions of the region," Gomez said.
Conference organizers expect between 200 and 300 participants, including state legislators and representatives from the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.
The NCRLC is promoting similar workshops in rural communities across the country in partnership with local organizations. An Iowa-based membership organization, the NCRLC works to preserve and enrich quality of life in rural areas by building on the social, economic, cultural and spiritual strengths of communities.
"We encourage the public to examine the concerns of rural communities and take action to confront the challenges, be they issues of family unity, sustainable agriculture, urban sprawl, globalization or land stewardship," said Brother David Andrews, executive director of the NCRLC. "The goal is to preserve rural culture and society, supporting it even amidst change."
A buffet lunch of traditional northern New Mexico foods will be served at the workshop. Registration costs $5 in advance and $10 on the day of the workshop. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and the workshop starts at 9 a.m. For more information, call Gomez at (505) 852-2668 or Patrick Torres at (505) 471-4711.

Q: Prove that simultaneously diagonalizable matrices commute
Two $n\times n$ matrices $A, B$ are said to be simultaneously diagonalizable if there is a nonsingular matrix $S$ such that both $S^{-1}AS$ and $S^{-1}BS$ are diagonal matrices.

a) Show that simultaneously diagonalizable matrices commute: $AB = BA$.

b) Prove that the converse is valid, provided that one of the matrices has no multiple eigenvalues. Is every pair of commuting matrices simultaneously diagonalizable?

My attempt:
a) Let
$$M=S^{-1}AS \qquad\text{and}\qquad P=S^{-1}BS.$$
It follows that
$$A= S^{-1}MS \qquad\text{and}\qquad B=S^{-1}PS. \tag{Eq. 1}$$ Thus,
\begin{align}
A\,B &=S^{-1}\,M\,S\,S^{-1}\,P\,S &&\text{substitution of diagonal forms}
\\
A\,B &=S^{-1}\,M\,I\,P\,S &&\text{Identity element}
\\
&= S^{-1}\,M\,P\,S  && \text{Multiplication by identity }
\\
&= S^{-1}\,P\,M\,S &&\text{$M$ and $P$ diagonal }
\\
&= S^{-1}\,P\,I\,M\,S &&\text{Multiplication by identity}
\\
&=S^{-1}\,P\, \left[SS^{-1}\right]\,M\,  S
&& \text{$S$ has inverse by premise}
\\
&=\left[S^{-1}\,P\, S\right] \left[S^{-1}\,M\,  S\right]
&& \text{associative properties of matrices}
\\
&=B\,A &&\text{Eq. 1}.
\end{align}
b) How can I do this?

A: This has undoubtedly been answered (likely multiple times) here before, so I post this at the risk of beating a dead (and decaying) horse.
Let me first link you to this page, which contains two excellent answers (I particularly recommend Keith Conrad's expository paper linked in Pierre-Yves Gaillard's answer). However, let me provide a perhaps more elementary viewpoint since, from experience, many people beginning this topic are not quite comfortable with minimal polynomial based arguments yet.
You seem to have covered part a quite adequately so let me focus on part b. I apologize in advance for the length, but I feel that this is a topic which requires thorough understanding.
The main thing to remember about commuting matrices is the fact that commuting matrices respect each other's eigenspaces. What does this mean? To talk about that, we first have to introduce the topic of an invariant subspace.
Consider a matrix mapping $A:\ V \rightarrow V$ for a vector space $V$. If there is some subspace $U$ of $V$ such that the restriction of $A$ to $U$ remains an operator in the sense that $A:\ U\rightarrow U$, then we say that $U$ is an invariant subspace of $A$. The term stable is also sometimes used. The significance of this is that $A(U) \subseteq U$, the image of $U$ is entirely contained within $U$. This way, it makes sense to talk about a restriction of the mapping to the smaller vector space $U$.
This is desirable for several reasons, the main one being that linear mappings on smaller vector spaces are easier to analyze. We can look at the action of the mapping on each invariant subspace and then piece them together to get an overall picture. This is what diagonalization does; we break down the vector space into smaller invariant subspaces, the eigenspaces, and then piece together the facts to get a simpler picture of how the mapping works. Many of the simpler, canonical representations are dependent on this fact (for example, the Jordan canonical form looks at the invariant generalized eigenspaces).
Now, if we have two commuting, diagonalizable matrices, then each eigenspace of $B$ is not only invariant under $B$ itself, but also under $A$. This is what we mean by preserving each other's eigenspaces. To see this, let $\mathbf{v}$ be an eigenvector of $B$ under eigenvalue $\lambda$. Then
$$B(A\mathbf{v}) = A(B\mathbf{v}) = \lambda A\mathbf{v}$$
so that $A\mathbf{v}$ is again an eigenvector of $B$ under eigenvalue $\lambda$. In our new language, this means that the eigenspace $E_\lambda$ of $B$ is invariant under $A$. This means it makes sense to look at the restriction of $A$ to $E_\lambda$.
Now consider the restriction of $A$ to $E_\lambda$. If all the eigenvalues of $B$ are simple (multiplicity one) then that means each eigenspace of $B$ is one dimensional. We have therefore restricted $A:\ E_\lambda \rightarrow E_\lambda$ to a mapping on a one-dimensional vector space. But this means that $A$ must take each vector of $E_\lambda$ to a scalar multiple of itself. You can check that this necessarily implies that $E_\lambda$ is also an eigenspace of $A$. Therefore, for any eigenbasis of $B$ that we take, the corresponding vectors also form an eigenbasis of $A$. This means that the two matrices are simultaneously diagonalizable; they share a common eigenbasis.
The general case is a bit more involved in that the restrictions to the invariant subspaces are more complex (they're no longer one-dimensional), but the ideas are identical.
P.S. Since you seem to be interested in physics, let me mention a crucial application of commuting operators. In quantum mechanics, you have quantities called observables, each of which is roughly speaking represented by a Hermitian matrix. Unlike in classical physics, different observables need not be simultaneously measurable (by measuring position for example, you cannot simultaneously measure momentum and vice versa) which is ultimately due to the fact that the position operator and the momentum operator do not commute (this is the underlying reasons behind the uncertainty principle). They do not have a shared basis which can represent the states of a system. Commuting operators therefore form a key element of quantum physics in that they define quantities which are compatible, i.e. simultaneously defined.

A: Since multiplication of two diagonal matrices of same order is commutative, we have:
$$(S^{-1} AS)(S^{-1}BS)=(S^{-1}BS)(S^{-1}AS).$$
Therefore, $S^{-1}ABS=S^{-1}BAS$, implying that $AB=BA$ as $S$ is invertible.

A lot of requests
Thread: A lot of requests
ZekMllr
I have a lot of requests, and I understand it's very difficult to do everything, so I'm going to just list them all, with descriptions where necessary. I'm also going to keep them organized by personal preference of priority, with my most wanted at the top. I may have missed some of this stuff during my searching, but hopefully not too much.
-Multiple Artists
-If I have a song that is a collaboration between 2 or more (I know one song I have was a 5 artist collaboration), I want to be able to search by any single artists name and find it. This happens a lot with Monstercat artists, so say I just want to listen to Stephen Walking, but he has songs with Ephixa. If I click on either Stephen Walking or Ephixa, separately, under Artists, it should show up under both. I thought contributing artists would work, but that only seems to take secondary artists, and assumes that the first one listed is the main one.
-Sticky bottom bar with current song (clickable to jump to the now playing page)
-Widget on Android
-Queues
-This one is a weird but really convenient feature that a lot of other music players I have used have implemented. If I click on a specific song in an album, for example, it creates a temporary playlist called a queue and there is a button to look at that where you can drag and reorder them, or click on a context menu to delete from queue, play next, add to end of queue, etc. (Shuttle+ does this really well)
-I haven't seen an option to use embedded artwork instead of saved images, which I personally prefer. Also if embedded is implemented, auto downloading artwork for anything that doesn't have it on WiFi.
-Equalizer
-Tagging stuff
-The ability to edit tags without another app would be convenient, and also being able to specifically define which tag is used in a certain filter, similarly to desktop foobar, would make a lot of things a lot easier
-Playlists
I know it's a lot, and I don't expect it all to be done, especially immediately, so thanks so much for reading, and keep up the great work!

Imphal, the 20th March, 2018 (DIPR): The 105th Indian Science Congress, inaugurated by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi on 16th March, 2018 here in Main Pandal, Manipur University, Imphal was concluded today.
Speaking on the occasion as Chief Guest, the Governor of Manipur Dr. Najma Heptulla said that the state holds a lot of potential for food processing; explore it particularly to the scientists and researchers of the country. Manipur is rich bio-diversity, within the top 10 hotspot in the world with the wealth flora and fauna. New species are being discovered day after day and still more are waiting to be discovered. Manipur possesses unexplored potential in the field of agriculture too. It also produces marketable surplus in a number of perishable commodities such as banana, pineapple, orange and tomato. Science and Technology can unlock these potentials of Manipur and it is in resonance with the theme of this edition of the Indian Science Congress that is "Reaching the unreached through science and Technology".
The Chief Guest urged that research work should not be rendered a one time exercise for a limited purpose. The scientific temperament should be sustained and there should be continuity in their quest to better the condition of the people. Often time, it has happened that research is done and the result consigned to oblivion. The findings should be disseminated and put to proper use.
India is becoming one of the world's powerhouses for scientific research. The nation has seen steady increasing in Government's spending on research and development and has a critical mass of well-educated professionals and a vast pool of scientists and technologists. Our endeavour should be to spread the wing of knowledge and development to every nook and corner of the country touching the life of every citizen through science and technology and the scientists and researchers have a well chalked out role to play, she added.
As part of today's valedictory function, awards especially for encouragement of young scientist 'Young Scientist Awards 2017-18' to 14 awardees, 'Best Poster Award' to 20 awardees, 'Best Science Model' to five awardees and 'Pride of Indian Exhibition Awards' were distributed to the awardees from across the country. The awards include one Certificate and one Memento each.
It may be mentioned that Manipur University hosted the 105th Indian Science Congress and the theme was "Reaching the unreached through Science and Technology". The 106th Indian Science Congress will be held at Barkatullah University, Bhopal in January 2019.


Investment takes a significant piece of our salary every month. For a secure future, we invest in different investment tools from NSC to fixed deposits. The stock market has always been one of the prominent options for investment for its convenience. Another well-known investment tool is a mutual fund. The mutual funds of India have seen a staggering rise with many fund houses offering exciting mutual fund schemes. One can reap great benefits with mutual funds albeit there is little risk involved. Let us see why you should invest in mutual funds.
Everyone has different goals for different stages of life. From buying a house to child's education, from saving money for emergency medical issues to a retirement plan; we have lots of goals planned ahead. Mutual funds can fulfill your goals with a variety of investment options. Be that a short-term goal or long-term goal, the mutual fund will help you manage your goals.
Making an investment is one part but managing takes a lot of efforts and time. Mutual funds are managed by the fund managers. These fund managers are extremely qualified and experienced. They invest your fund based on thorough research and market studies. Another part of this management is dealing with the market risk. Fund managers are well aware of the market situations hence they can take an appropriate decision regarding any risk. All in all, the fund manager's job is to keep track of all variables and churn out the maximum profit.
Investing in a mutual fund is pretty easy. You can start your investment with even IRN 500 only. With SIP i.e. systematic investment plan you can start investing in the mutual fund with a mere amount of 500. This specific amount will be debited from your account periodically making a lot more convenient than other investment tools.
Generally, all traditional investment tools come with a mandatory lock-in period. One cannot redeem their fund before the completion of the lock-in period. The schemes like ELSS i.e. equity-linked saving schemes have a lock-in period of only three years making a comfortable investment too.
Different investment options coming under mutual funds are liable for tax exemption under the Indian Income Tax Act 80C. If tax savings are your goals then mutual funds is a wise investment option.
Mutual funds are highly liquid; which means you can withdraw your fund at any time unless it's close-ended fund. With instant redemptions facility, you can get your money back direct in your account.
The mutual fund is indeed a prudent choice of investment. It is flexible, liquid and has several benefits which will help you accomplish your financial goals effortlessly. That being said, next time you are investing your money, give a shot to the mutual fund.


By 1970, Chrysler was well established locally with local manufacturing and design going back several years – so it knew what the market wanted. The big news for that year was an update of a car that had earned a lot respect, the four-door Pacer, essentially the brand's response to the big guns from the likes of the more dominant Ford and Holden.
For the VG Valiant, the most obvious styling change was a move to rectangular headlights in a revised grille. But more importantly, a new 4.0-litre six – the Hemi 6 – replaced the ageing Slant Six. Although not a true 'Hemi' engine (with hemispherical combustion chambers), it was close enough for Chrysler Australia to use the famous US brand in its marketing.
The stock Hemi 6 made 123kW (165hp) and 319Nm, but the base model Pacer with a two-barrel Hemi made 138kW (185hp). And, no doubt spurred on by the success of the VF Pacer, Chrysler Australia offered the VG Pacer with three more Hemi 6 tuning levels. Ticking the Option E31 box gave you a hotter cam, smaller fan and windage tray in the sump to counter oil surge. Although Chrysler Australia never released official horsepower figures, it produced 145kW.
The hot Option E34 Track Pack ramped things up with a four-barrel carburettor, high-performance cam, shot-peened crank and conrods, high-flow oil pump, better bearings, dual-plate clutch, larger radiator, torque-limiting engine-mount strut and windage tray, for an output of 175kW. The Option E35 Hemi 6 had the Street Pack version of the four-barrel carburettor. One limiting factor, though, remained the Pacer's three-speed floor-shift manual transmission. Chrysler Australia was committed to only using Australian-made components and did not have a four-speed available.
Regrettably, the VG was the first and last Pacer to be offered as a Hardtop. Its bold graphics, with black-out panels on the bonnet and body-length strips that wrapped around the boot lid and incorporated Pacer decals, also made it the best-looking Pacer.
Though they lacked the outright profile of the GT-HOs and XU-1s of this world, the Pacers held their own at Bathurst. Geoghegan's Sporty Cars had three examples well up the field by the end of the day, in fourth, fifth and seventh place. (Here's a bit of trivia: the two lead Valiants were listed as two-barrel E31 cars, while the third was an E34 with the four-barrel). In any case, they're an engaging drive today.
Cliff Chambers value guide: 'Big Tank' E34 Pacers are scarce and quicker than their conservative shape suggests. At current money they remain a collector market 'sleeper'. $35,000-75,000.

Vitiis nemo sine nascitur ( No-one is born without faults)
vitiis nemo sine nascitur ( No-one is born without faults) is a project that plays with the Google algorithm for im age search. By placing iconic war images, and finding all the images visually related. The power of photojournalism and human cruelty next to the aesthetic aspects that makes an image what it is: color, composition, framing, texture, density. By decomposing and decontextualize all the emotional reaction that we feel when confronted to one of this images in simple formal aspects we transform the message in basic visual stimulation. But basically, and more important, making a link between the first world standards of life and the suffering in the rest of the world. The social stability in one side is build on mass suffering in the other. No-one is born without faults. For every little
aspect of our life there's a direct link with a far away place that is somehow politically, cultural or economically struggling inorder to deliver to others high standards of life. From an
iphone, to an engagement ring, from a cheap pound of bananas, to a chocolate bar. Most of the daily rituals in modern life are feed with someones pain.

The reason, according to a spokeswoman, mainly comes down to lack of parking and proper equipment.
But Councilman Johnny Streets said this decision makes it seem like officials don't want a bunch of black people crowding the halls of the Supervisor of Election's office downtown.
"It's a cop out," Streets said, adding that he has received calls from constituents about the issue. "If you can't go to the election's office to vote, something is wrong."
Lee Supervisor of Elections Sharon Harrington said the idea of her office discriminating against people wanting to vote is absolutely ridiculous.

"We don't care about what someone's color is or party is," Harrington said. "They're people, we want them out there to vote and we look better when we have a higher turnout."
Selecting an early voting location involves a lot of moving parts, including Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, coordinating with property owners and transporting voting equipment, Harrington said.
And then comes ample parking. Spokeswoman Vicki Collins said officials are anticipating a large turnout.
"This is a major presidential election," Collins said. "People are already coming out in droves, so we have to be proactive to meet those needs."
Despite all that, Harrington said Streets raised the issue during the primary and she sent an email inviting him to find locations within city limits, but got no response. Streets said he was concerned that there were city-related issues on the ballot, but no locations to vote within the city.
The election's office is a government building, Streets said, and people should be able to go there to cast their ballot. The same way they were able to in the 2012 presidential election.
Harrington said that won't happen this year because it was too much for the office to handle last time. The building was so crowded at times people were not able to go upstairs, she said, and it disrupted other offices trying to conduct business.
Fort Myers City Council: 3 things to know
But Streets isn't alone. Willie Green, a local political activist, said he was unaware of the lack of early voting locations, but it's a problem that needs to be looked into. It does give the appearance of discrimination, he said.
Ten early voting locations are spread throughout the county, including Schandler Hall Community Park, which is just outside city limits.
But Streets said this is not an issue about race. It's another form of voter suppression that should concern everyone.
"I'm not just talking about African Americans, I'm talking about all voters." he said. "It's ridiculous."

Russia will not be able to hold international figure skating competitions
Published April 26, 2022 on April 26, 2022
The International Skating Union condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Russia will not be allowed to hold international figure skating competitions because of the war in Ukraine, the International Skating Union (ISU) has said.
The organization announced that the Rostelecom Cup has also been canceled.
"Until further notice, no international competitions will be held in Russia and Belarus. Consequently, the Rostelecom 2022 Figure Skating Cup will not be included in the ISU Grand Prix series of the 2022-2023 season," the union said in a statement.
As a result, ISU is looking for another organizer to hold the competition instead of the Rostelecom Cup, which was supposed to take place at the end of November.
"The Council reaffirms its solidarity with the victims of the conflict and once again condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the strongest possible terms," the ISU said.

U.S. lauds Pakistan's role in Afghan peace
By APW Team 24 March 2021 21
KABUL: U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin commended Pakistan's assistance and role in bringing peace to Afghanistan on Monday.
According to a readout of the conversation released by the Pentagon, Austin "expressed appreciation for Islamabad's continuing support for the Afghan peace process" in a phone conversation with Army Chief Gen. Qamar Bajwa.
While returning from an unannounced visit to Afghanistan on Sunday to examine the war-torn region's situation, the defense secretary called Gen. Bajwa.
In the Afghan peace process, Pakistan is considered to have facilitated the signing of the US-Taliban deal and, subsequently, the start of intra-Afghan negotiations, which are currently at a standstill.
In his chat with the army chief, Austin reassured him that the U.S. wants to continue working with Pakistan in areas of "general interest."
This is while the Biden administration is currently reviewing the US-Taliban signed in February of last year, under which U.S. troops were to leave Afghanistan by May 1.
Following the evaluation process, the new U.S. president will decide whether or not to stick to the agreed-upon troop withdrawal timetable.

Chancellor Gerhard Schröder goes to Warsaw tomorrow on a delicate mission to mourn the German military's levelling of the Polish capital and the slaughter of 200,000 people in the second world war.
He is under pressure to assuage Polish fears of German claims for properties lost in western Poland when the Nazis were defeated.
After he attended the ceremonies last month in France to mark the 60th anniversary of the D-day invasion, Mr Schröder's participation in the events marking the 60th anniversary of the Warsaw uprising completes a double act of German rehabilitation in western and eastern Europe.
But unlike the close Paris-Berlin axis, relations between Poland and Germany have chilled in recent months, not least because of Polish alarm over changing German attitudes to the war and the issues raised by the suffering of Germans during and after the conflict.
Marek Belka, the Polish prime minister, yesterday called on Mr Schröder to make a firm statement in Warsaw renouncing all German claims for compensation or restitution for German property and assets expropriated at the end of the war.
"It would be enormously important if Germany made an initiative putting an end to the compensation issue," Mr Belka told the German newspaper, Die Welt. The chancellor "should dispel the bad atmosphere".
Increasing German pressure on the Poles for an admission of the wrongs done to Germans at the end of the war and for some form of material compensation are causing intense resentment and mistrust in Poland, where 6 million people died during the war and whose invasion by Hitler in 1939 triggered the outbreak of the conflict.
Some 12 million Germans were kicked out of central Europe, many of them killed, at the war's end, when Europe's borders were redrawn by the allies. Poland, in particular, was literally lifted from east to west and transplanted on to territory that for centuries had been peopled by Germans.
The rightwing Prussian Trust organisation, which represents the families of expropriated and resettled Germans, has been launching private lawsuits in Poland for the return of lost property, believing that Poland's accession to the EU in May will make it easier for Germans to reclaim their former homes. Similar tussles and tensions are occurring in the Czech Republic, where more than 2 million Sudeten Germans were expelled at the end of the war.
Some 20,000 veterans of the Warsaw uprising will take part in emotional ceremonies in the Polish capital tomorrow, marking the beginning of the two-month revolt against the Nazi occupation that ended with the Germans razing the city and killing almost 200,000 people.
Stalin's red army sat on the right bank of the river Vistula refusing to intervene while the SS masterminded the massacre of Poles.
The SS chief, Heinrich Himmler, ordered: "Every inhabitant is to be killed. Warsaw is to be razed to the ground. In this way, all of Europe shall have a terrifying example."
The ashes of Antoni Chrusciel, the Polish home army commander who led the uprising, were brought home to Warsaw yesterday from the US where he died in 1960, after emigrating first to Britain from communist Poland.
While Mr Schröder and his foreign minister, Joschka Fischer, have sought to distance themselves from any German claims on Poland, the lobby for the resettled Germans, led by the Christian Democrat MP Erika Steinbach, is pressing for compensation, and for a new museum in Berlin dedicated to Germany's own "victims of ethnic cleansing."

*scene photo studio* She places her last pastie against her bosoms before tiptoing out of the dressing room, trying to make sure she doesn't fall. A photographer adjusts the light that will shine down on her as he motions her in to take her spot on the "x". "Alright, lets get this over with I have a lunch date with Chipotle," the photographer mutters under his breath as he picks up his camera, adjusting the lens slightly. She gains her balance on the balls of her feet as she places her hands on her hips, positioning herself to show the photographer she's ready. The photographer lifts up his camera about to snap until he realizes that she is missing a prop, "Where's the McGag?!," he yells at a distance to her. "You were serious about that?," she proclaims as she plays teeter totter on her feet. The photographer just rolls his eyes as he walks back to the dressing room, grabbing the gag he returns to throw it over to her unbalanced self. "Put that on and lets get to worrk!," he shouts as he lifts his camera back up, watching her place the gag in. "Now show me why you mclovin unicorns," he says as he begins to snap photos.

She kicks a pebble over to the tree before turning around, startled by the mousey she almost slaps him mid-air. "Woah, woah! I didn't do anything to ye miss," he proclaimed as he regains his composure while adjusting his string. She retracts her hand, placing her knuckle against her teeth as she stares up at him. "What are you exactly?? And why are you traveling by balloon?", she replies while she pokes at his balloon. "I do say, milady. You are a bit nosey for an casually dressed elf," he kicks his feet down at her as he floats up and away.

A documentary film has never won the Philosophy Talk Dionysus Award for Most Philosophical Film of the Year, even though documentaries are by nature bound to be interested in the pursuit of truth. Perhaps it's because documentaries are less popular, often perceived as dull, dry, and preachy. Or maybe they are just not so widely seen, shown once on public television, or for a week in a few obscure art house cinemas, then relegated to some dusty archive.
But I love documentaries—they often raise complex philosophical issues and get us to question our assumptions. This year's Oscar nominees for Best Documentary Feature are no exception. They include films about workplace justice, the fragility of democracy, and the loss of a way of life. There are two films about the devastating war in Syria, one about women physicians delivering medical care under threats of patriarchy and bombs, and the other about a filmmaker trying to build a family under the siege of war.
These films also raise philosophical questions about what makes a documentary, the nature of truth, and the relationship between truth and values. The line between depiction, narration, and fiction is blurring and shifting, with a genre of documentary films emerging that is analogous to the "creative non-fiction" of writers such as Annie Dillard, Norman Mailer, or Joan Didion. Documentary films not only tell stories, but also focus on what is told through the normative lens of the filmmaker.
So here's the case for a Dionysus Award for each of the 2020 Oscar nominees:
American Factory: Dionysus Award for Questioning What Counts as Workplace Injustice
Fuyao Glass America opens an automobile glass factory in a mothballed GM assembly plant in Dayton, Ohio, employing both workers from China and American workers from the distressed local labor market. Amid the initial camaraderie, tensions soon surface about wages, working conditions, workplace safety, and ultimately efforts at union organizing. The film, a production of Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground Productions, clearly supports the union and depicts the tactics Fuyao uses to defeat unionization in a way that has given rise to allegations claiming violations of the National Labor Relations Act. The factory ultimately becomes profitable in 2018, but only after making choices about automation reminiscent of predictions of a world without work.
The Cave: Dionysus Award for Perseverance in Acts of Supererogation
Physicians in an underground hospital strive to save lives of patients during the siege of Eastern Ghouta. The film is very difficult to watch: scenes of children hit by attacks of chlorine gas, and surgery performed under music rather than anesthesia. The women physicians work not only under unimaginably difficult physical conditions but also under constant criticism for performing roles judged not suitable for women. Director Feras Fayyad (he also made Last Man in Aleppo) is unflinchingly honest in documenting the siege. This is not a documentary that skirts the borderlands of nonfiction and fiction but a documentary that confronts the reality of inhumanity.
The Edge of Democracy: Dionysus Award for Best Personal Narrative of Political Despair
Filmmaker Petra Costa narrates the fate of Brazilian democracy from the election of Lula in 2003 to the impeachment of Dilma in 2016 and the current presidency of Bolsonaro. Costa shot most of the footage herself, which incorporates political speeches, protest rallies, interviews with her mother, and interviews with many of those most involved in the events. Her narration interweaves her perspective, her family history, and the events as they occurred. Costa is the daughter of leftist advocates and the granddaughter of an owner of one of the largest construction companies in Brazil. She questions how democracy can ever survive in Brazil, with its history of slavery, corruption, and rule by a tightly knit oligarchy of families who control major industries from the media to construction. Costa's work has been described as exploring spaces between fiction and non-fiction; her passionate lament for democracy and social justice amid her depiction and interpretation of events press the edges of both democracy and the documentary form.
For Sama: Dionysus Award for Best Display of Humanity Despite the Inhumanity of War
It opens with the filmmaker-mother recording the bombing of a hospital in Aleppo and asking how her daughter—her most precious thing—can forgive her for bringing her into these horrors. Much of the harrowing footage was shot on a phone while Waad al-Kateab was documenting the situation in Syria during the siege of Aleppo; there are shots of injured and dying children and grieving mothers. As a mother, al-Kateab is starkly aware of the risks to the child she has brought into being. She asks a philosophical question widespread in reproductive ethics: whether it is permissible to bring a child into a world of suffering, even if the suffering is socially imposed and the child is deeply cherished. But there is happiness, too, and an ultimate escape to hope.
Honeyland: Dionysus Award for the Beauty of Sustainability
Honeyland is the story of a natural beekeeper in Macedonia and what happens when a large nomadic family moves onto the land. It is a beautiful, rhythmic film about ecological respect. The film has garnered great praise for its narrative power. I saw the film at Sundance in 2019, where it won the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Documentary. I learned from the directors in the Q&A that they had spent over three years accumulating the footage and that the narrative in the film as shown did not reflect the sequence of events as they occurred in real time, but had been assembled to tell the story in the most compelling way. As presented, the film raises multiple questions about sustainability of rural environments and ways of life. But it also questions whether chronology must always be the main organizing principle in the documentary film form.
I have no clue which one of these films will ultimately win the Best Documentary Oscar this weekend, but certainly each deserves a Dionysus Award.

How CRISPR is changing the food industry
National Human Genome Research Institute
By Sasan Amini
Sasan Amini is the CEO and co-founder of Clear Labs. He holds a Ph.D. in genomics from Princeton University and spent three years at Illumina, the market leader in next-generation sequencing solutions.
CRISPR is one of the fastest, most precise and impactful methods for genetic engineering the world has ever seen. Monsanto recently acquired the first commercial license of the CRISPR-Cas9 technology from the Broad Institute, making it the first license of the technology for agricultural use. DuPont has been working with Caribou Biosciences for more than a year and is already growing CRISPR-edited corn and wheat plants in field trials. Scientists have been using CRISPR on plants and animals to include mushrooms that don't brown as quickly in the refrigerator, drought-tolerant corn and virus-resistant pigs.
The increasing number of publications on the CRISPR/Cas system, the rising number of patents and the additional funding allocated for CRISPR research are all signs that CRISPR will be a core piece of the machinery in the future of bioengineering.
What's more, the USDA has already stated that it will not regulate these foods because the technology does not necessarily involve inserting new genes into organisms, as today's recombinant DNA technology requires, but rather snips pieces of an organism's existing genes.
The groundbreaking technology, combined with an open regulatory environment, means that CRISPR is well on its way to being one of the most quickly adopted technologies in agriculture and food's history. What previously took 10 years can now take a single crop cycle.
Sasan Amini, CEO and co-founder of Clear Labs

Manufacturers do not have to wait for CRISPR to "happen" to the food industry — it's already here. Companies could begin producing and selling mushrooms that don't brown, meat that is more tender and cabbage that is more flavorful before long. In fact, it's happening in places like China, where technologies very similar to CRISPR have been in play in the food industry already.
Retailers and manufacturers should familiarize themselves with the technology, and they should do so quickly. Food companies need to begin learning how this new kind of genetic engineering changes the industry. It also needs to define the technology's application and its opportunity in food before it starts impacting the system at large, not after.
Determine how CRISPR can be used in the food industry
There are already a number of great sources on what CRISPR is and how it works: TechCrunch's great explainer, WIRED's big feature and Nature's deep-dive on the history of CRISPR. For the purposes of this article, CRISPR is a naturally occurring system that simplifies and accelerates the task of manipulating a genome. It makes the process of genome editing more efficient, the outcome more programmable, and the changes more subtle.
Scientists worldwide are in awe of the discovery for its potential impact on things like agricultural and crop trait enhancement, human gene therapy, livestock breeding, eliminating antibiotic resistance and public health applications like mosquito sterilization, to name a few.
CRISPR has already been implemented for genome editing in plants, including tobacco, soy, wheat, rice, potatoes, oranges and tomatoes.
On the animal side, applications like improving the yield of animal breeding through desirable alteration and selection of herd genetics are clear examples. There have been instances involving pigs, beef and salmon. The convenience of genome editing through CRISPR/Cas 9 system have made other applications, like generating more tender beef, possible.
On the bacterial side, all classes of bacteria across the food spectrum including fermentative, probiotic, spoilage agents and food pathogens can be impacted by the CRISPR-based systems. A good example is vaccination of starter cultures against predatory bacteriophages.
Those are a few of the upstream, direct applications, but it doesn't take much imagination to envision how it will impact retailers and manufacturers who are selling food to consumers as well. The combinations of what can be done with CRISPR are near limitless, but the biggest opportunities for the food industry include:
Improving food safety by knocking out antibiotic resistance, baking in immunity to pathogens like salmonella
Increasing shelf life of perishable foods
Developing new products that taste better and have other desirable traits for consumers
There are risks, as there are always are with new technologies. CRISPR isn't perfect. But if manufacturers can rally the industry to truly understand the risk and opportunity tradeoff, the more upside they're likely to see and the better chance the food industry has at encouraging public acceptance of the new technology.
The regulatory discussion
This is the core debate: Are CRISPR-edited foods "non-GMO" if a new gene from another organism hasn't been inserted? The USDA says it won't regulate CRISPR-edited foods in the same way as other genetically modified organisms. Organic certification groups also do not certify foods that have been edited using CRISPR.
The problem is that the food industry doesn't have a good foundation from which to build. Existing GMO regulations are already sorely outdated. The definition of a genetically modified organism is under debate and scrutiny. CRISPR aside, the debate is more likely to be engineered around protecting special interests than actually coming up with responsible ways to keep consumers safe and informed while allowing the food industry to adopt new technologies.
Manufacturers have to first define the technology, then recognize that labels still matter. Consumers have a right to know what they're eating. There's a huge opportunity for the food industry to embrace CRISPR as a fundamentally good thing, but it can't be shrouded in mystery. Consumers today won't stand for that. Support for the technology will be stymied just as quickly and fiercely as support for GMOs has been in the past if companies aren't upfront about their use of CRISPR.
The food industry has a unique opportunity to reset the terms of the debate and start from a position of strength and understanding. Producers have the opportunity to influence the conversation and help to develop smart regulations that properly protect consumers and encourage transparency. The industry has to align itself with its end-customer – the public – because if it can garner the broad support of consumers and regulators by taking a measured but enthusiastic approach to this new technology, the food industry wins.
Regulation is only part of the conversation. When CRISPR arrives, consumers must be able to trust that products are safe, authentic and up to quality standards. Food safety and quality technologies were largely driven by previous generation DNA-based testing and engineering methods. CRISPR is a giant leap forward.
CRISPR makes compliance and certification more complicated because it creates scarless gene-editing, meaning there is no fast, efficient way to detect whether or not a food has been modified. CRISPR changes are invisible to existing technologies like PCR. Even if manufacturers wanted to inform consumers that a product is "CRISPR-modified," they simply can't today. Technologies like whole genome sequencing can potentially help, but this is still too expensive to be deployed at scale.
To keep up, producers must invest in food transparency technologies that will allow us to defend our claims on the promise of CRISPR. The food industry has largely operated under a reactive mindset, developing new technology and safety and quality protocols only in response to outside pressures, recalls or supply chain threats. The food industry is seeing a tremendous shift towards a more proactive approach thanks to the Food Safety and Modernization Act, enabling manufacturers to be a step ahead of the game. And that should be the goal. Companies have to be able to guarantee that CRISPR technology is safe for consumers, even before they ask.
The food industry will be redefined by CRISPR
The concept of bioengineering food, agriculture and crops isn't new. Farmers, plant biologists and breeders have been doing this for decades, if not centuries. The food industry has seen or heard of many similar examples for many years: pest, herbicide, disease and drought resistance. With CRISPR-based systems, the industry is simply evolving the engineering toolbox.

Against All Common Sense, the Lost Video Game Looks Kind of All Right
By Rob Bricken January 23, 2008 TV, Video Games 0 Comment
If you had told me a week ago that there was going to be a Lost video game for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC and that it wouldn't totally suck, I would have called you a liar, then hit you. Then, while you were down, I would have kicked you in your stomach until you threw up on yourself. Apparently, I'd also owe you an apology, because IGN has a hands-on preview and videos of the game, and I'll be damned if it doesn't look pretty good.
You play Elliott, another suddenly-there-on-the-island-castaway (a la Nikki and Paulo), and go through the events of seasons one and two. You meet all the main Lost-ies (mostly voiced by sound-a-likes), press the button, run from the smoke monster and deal with your own unique combo of a mysterious past and crash-caused amnesia.
The game looks to be a combo exploration/puzzle/survival horror game which somehow replicates the events of the show with this new character, but doesn't break them, meaning I have no choice but to be cautiously impressed, meaning I'll inevitably be crushed when the game comes out and sucks anyways. It's due in late February, so we'll know then, I guess.

What is Test to Stay and Learn? FAQs with assistant superintendent Alvie Cater
With the district approving the implementation of the program Test to Stay and Learn, Cater explains the program and what it could mean for the district
By Gabby Delpleash
Assistant superintendent Alvie Cater sits down with Mill Valley News editors Gabby Delpleash and Avery Gathright to discuss the district's upcoming implementation of the "Test to Stay" program; a program created to keep students in school for as long as possible who have suffered an exposure to the COVID-19 virus
Gabby Delpleash and Avery Gathright
Mill Valley News: Now that the school board has voted to implement this program, what is the Test to Stay and Learn?
Assistant superintendent Alvie Cater: It's a series of testing strategies that is available to any school district in the state of Kansas. It is being offered through federal funding that was awarded to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). Federal funds are actually being targeted for school districts to increase COVID-19 testing in basically pre-K through 12. KDHE is administering the grant, and to provide these testing strategies.
MVN: What is the goal of the program?
AC: The whole goal is to provide opportunities to keep students in school, as long as possible. Test to Stay and Learn is a plan that would provide free daily testing for students and staff who are identified as a close contact by the county health department. [Being a] close contact means that you have been identified as being a close contact to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. If a student is identified as a close contact, they would be recommended for quarantine [by the county health department], and then what the school district does at that time is exclude the student for recommended quarantine. With this Test to Stay and Learn plan, we could provide the parent or guardian the option, it's voluntary, that they could test each day for a series of days. As long as they continue to test negative, they can go to school that day and participate in activities.
MVN: How long would testing be necessary for close contacts?
AC: The maximum number of days that someone would need to test would be seven. And so long as you stay negative and you're symptom-free, then you can continue to go about your activities. If someone does develop symptoms, and they test negative, then we would work with the county health department to make sure that that student can find a way to stay, because sometimes symptoms [could be caused by something besides COVID-19]. So that's how that would work, it would be for seven days maximum, but it's based on the date if the last exposure.
A flowchart presented by the district Board of Education to explain if someone who may have been exposed to COVID-19 is considered a close contact on Monday, Oct. 4 (By Gabby Delpleash)
MVN: Where will students be tested?
AC: What we're thinking about doing is a Test to Stay curbside option, and Cedar Trails Exploration Center is centrally located, and what we're looking to do is offer a Test to Stay [Covid-19 test] before school even starts. A student could go to [CTEC] first thing in the morning, drive through, do the swab, and then wait for 15 minutes in the car, and then find out, 'Hey, can I continue on with my day?'
MVN: How will this affect the district financially?
AC: It's not going to affect us at all, because this is a grant, the district would be reimbursed for any expenses. Really, the only expenses would be any staffing that we would need. We would be reimbursed from KDHE for that expense. There are also a few dollars that could be used for personal protective equipment like gloves, masks [and] things that would be needed to support the testing program but the biggest portion of the grant would be for staffing. That's what we would utilize those funds for. This is a reimbursement program so we don't get the money upfront, so we would have to submit reimbursement back to the state.
MVN: How soon will the program be implemented?
AC: One of the reasons why we're looking at doing, at least initially, the curbside option before school starts, is that we can use our existing nurses, so they could actually do it before school starts, and not impact their duties during the school day. We would pay those nurses I think anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours of additional time. And so that's how we would do it and then that gives us time to add any additional staff so that we could continue to do that option before school and maybe even start taking some of that into the buildings. But in order to get started, we decided that we'd like to do it with our existing nurses who have volunteered to help us. That way, we can start just as soon as we can get all the details and logistics worked out so I'm just hoping in a few days.
MVN: How can we be sure the program will be successful?
AC: KDHE has worked very hard to establish protocols to ensure that the Test to Stay strategy goes as smoothly as possible. We also know with a program that we've never done before, it's going [to be a] learn as you go [process for the district.] But the systems that we've seen look to be very well done, meaning that we can stay on top of the information that's required to have. [That way,] we make sure that when we test someone, that that is associated to that person and only that person, and we make sure that we can repeat this on a daily basis. I think we're going to be working very hard to meet all the requirements that the state has for us, but also at the same time make sure that it is as smooth as possible for our students and parents.
MVN: Is there anything you would like to clarify?
AC: The school district doesn't have the authority to tell [a student they] have to quarantine. Only the county health department can issue that kind of order. School districts in Kansas do have the authority to exclude students, when it is related to communicable diseases. That's been a question that parents have asked, going back to the last school year, how can a school district exclude somebody for a recommended quarantine? That's part of state statute that we do that; so we don't have the power to issue quarantines to students but we can exclude students for a recommended quarantine. The last thing I would say is that we know that this testing option is not going to be for everyone, and we'll have some families who do not want to participate, and that's fine. What I'm trying to do in my role is to look at [how] this might be an option for some of our families, that would result in keeping students in school longer than we previously would have been able to do so.
