Reviews and Discussions
Previous Previews from Possession: 1. "Hadn't she learned anything from her experiences with the demonic attacks about five years ago?"
2. "As I lit the candles I smiled to myself, feeling that this was only the beginning of a lot of good times to come. I was already having a good life so far, so I had no reason to believe that it wouldn't continue."
3. "No sooner than he went and closed himself in his room, there was a "bang bang BANG!" on the front door."
4. "Some wanted to run the other way. They all decided to remain in their seats for now, but were ready to react if the scene playing out before them took a violent turn."
5. "I clicked the numbers on the screen again and again. Dread was starting to take over my body like a heavy, oily set of fingers. My stomach did a 180. I needed to decide what I was going to do and fast. I suddenly felt like I was going to pass out."
6. "I punched the numbers on the calculator again and again, getting more aggressive with the buttons each time, willing the numbers to come out right. Something was definitely wrong."
7. "No sooner were those words out of his mouth, then his face took on the contortions of someone who was in a lot of pain and mental anguish at the same time."
8. "She was usually good at reading people and her intuition was almost always correct. It may not have been intentional, but she had this feeling just the same."
9. "The only thing I left out was my pentacle necklace."
10. "I used to be heavily involved in this religion, even going to meetings and classes given by other practitioners to enlighten me further and to help me know more and better spells and rituals."
11. "She probably never said any since they were little kids and had to huddle on the cold wooden floor of their house to keep warm."
12. "No matter what came about in the future, whether a spirit decided to manifest itself to her there later, she was ready."
13. "Now here I was, on the cusp of the age of twenty-two, relaxing on a bench by the walking trails in our waterfront neighborhood, pondering my good life and just enjoying the view of the water across from me. I felt on top of the world; I had everything I wanted. I supposed I could thank my previous involvement with wicca for that."
14. "...but Liz could see the disappointment- and worry- written all over both of their faces."
15. It was about six-thirty on a hot July evening typical of Baltimore- the temp was still about ninety-seven degrees with close to 70 percent humidity. I had almost two and a half hours to spend before it started to get dark."
16. "… all he knew was that when he would start talking about spiritual warfare to other Christians, they would look at him like he had three heads and quickly change the subject."
17. "Fear stabbed Liz in the stomach, as she tried to figure out what was going on with Alisa."
18. "When Barb swung the door open, Alisa, Jack and even Liz let out a gasp. There was a huge hole in the floor in front of the sink. If you wanted to get to the claw foot tub or the toilet, you'd have to make a sizable jump. Liz leaned over to take a closer look at the hole and it was just as she feared- the main floor's ceiling joists were showing through the other side. It was like the innards of some big wooden monster."
19. "Something was telling him that this woman could bring an element to his team that he hadn't seen before."
20. "Each screen reflected three identical numbers. Three little harmless numbers. That's all they were, but I was horrified to see them, as I knew what they meant.
666."
21. "I shook my head to try to fight off the thoughts. I figured I would go ahead and save that day for later on in the summer. I truly did not know what was going on with me today- I really did like my job and always looked forward to going in."
22. "During the entire tour so far, Barb looked and acted pretty uncomfortable. Liz noticed that she paused for a while before leading them down into the basement."
23. "From the time the door was opened, a strong musty smell- the smell of a house left vacant long ago- assaulted their nostrils, causing Liz to inwardly recoil. As they walked into the living and dining rooms, Liz could see everyone's footprints that were left behind in the quarter-inch thick dust on the hardwood floors."
24. "So many of them were having a hard time of it- especially financially. They could barely afford to pay their bills, let alone splurge on the finer things in life. Every time you turned around, they were always talking about how they did not know how they were going to pay one unexpected bill after another, or how they were going to be able to buy something they needed. The stress of it all was evident in their faces day after day."
25. "The pastor braced himself for that inevitable "dirty body" smell as he approached the young man. Just as he reached out to place his hand on the young man's shoulder, the young man flung himself down on the floor, burying his face in the carpet."
26. "There was one last thing I did before shoving that large box under the basement stairs, however, and I made sure that Karen wasn't home to see it. I performed one last ritual. Placing my pentacle rug on the floor of the basement, I set one candle on each of the five points- two white, three green- for prosperity, success, and protection for my family."
27. "Usually they swaddled themselves up tight in those blankets, but not tonight. That night they kept their old tattered winter coats on underneath those blankets."
28. "A small leak had turned into a large one and collapsed about a tenth of the ceiling, which happened to be right next to their bed."
29. "Just as I finished and closed the circle, three of the candles mysteriously went out and I felt a blast of cold air."
30. "Stay here," he said. Gingerly, he tiptoed over to the huge hole in the floor."
31. "Opening her eyes, fighting for a way to reach the surface again, she saw the hands that were holding her down and discovered they were not hands at all. They were claws. Long, dirty yellow-brown fingernails were attached
to rotten wrinkled fingers. Finally, she felt the grip on her shoulders loosen and she was able to pop up to the surface, coughing and sputtering as she did so. Frantically, she drained the tub, jumped out and dried off. She didn't
think she was going to enjoy taking a bath any longer."
From Diary of a Demonologist...
Her second thought was that maybe an animal or worse, an intruder had gotten into the house somehow. Or maybe it was someone who was hurt and had come in seeking help?
She got her answer quicker than she wanted as suddenly, a figure started rising out of the puddle. Megan wasn't relaxed at all anymore.
Eyes wide, she couldn't make out any limbs, only that this figure was not human and that it was very tall; at least over six feet.
The smell of sewage was almost overwhelming now.
Finally, the figure had completely risen out of the pool of blood and stood there before her. Its skin, or whatever it had that could pass for skin, was almost as red as the blood that surrounded its clawed feet. It had no hair, yellow eyes, deep grooves all over its face, and with its mouth partly open, Megan could see broken, rotted, yellow teeth.
She had to steady herself on the table behind her as a terrible realization hit home and she felt herself growing faint. She knew now. It was the ugly man. She remembered Melanie talking about him quite often but she was the only person who was able to see him. Megan guessed maybe he changed his mind.
"Hello, Megan", he said, in a low, gravelly voice.
Megan's jaw dropped open wide as she decided whether to make a run for it or reply to him. It didn't matter anyway. Legs locked in place, her feet were frozen to the floor.
"I have your Dougie here with me, Megan", he said, edging a little closer to her. "Want to see him? Better yet, want to come be with him?"
Megan fell down in the chair behind her trying to scream, but the only sound that would come out of her mouth was a half-whimper.

BEST OF THE WEB: A Google master class; a mission to mars; and it's not the maths, stupid
Bronwen Clune
Google needs to be understood, writes Steven Levy on Medium, as part of a "master class" he is doing on Google.
"Google isn't the biggest corporation on Earth, but is arguably the most important. Certainly, if one is to understand the 21st Century and the impact of technology and the Internet on our personal, professional and civic lives, Google is the single company that must be understood."
While we are all likely to know the basics of how Google came to be, Levy argues that "expert knowledge is a little harder to come by," so he sets up a chat with executive chair Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg, an adviser to current CEO Larry Page.
The Q&A between them becomes a fascinating insight into who pulls the strings at Google (I won't say who, but do have a read), and how they come to make some big decisions. Levy is certainly unrelenting in his line of inquiry.
Levy's first master class session deals with "China, the Troika that once ruled Google but may not anymore, and the famous 'Don't Be Evil' motto."
We learn that Schmidt is quite comfortable with Google's decision to enter China, where it censored search results, believing that China was better with Google than without it. But the real revelations come around their decision to leave China.
"It's fair to say that we had a process to go in, and we had a process to go out. Everybody agreed, and we knew what we were getting ourselves into. It's not like we were blindsided," says Schmidt.
"The situation did worsen. And then [after Google was hacked] there was the meeting on Sunday [January 10, 2010, when Google decided its future course in China]. I knew when I entered that meeting that we were going pull out."
The mission to Mars
"Fuck Earth!' Elon Musk said to me, laughing. 'Who cares about Earth?'"
And so begins Ross Andersen's interview with Elon Musk on his mission to get people on Mars.
Fear not, Musk loves Earth, we're told; he just loves telling jokes and saying things to surprise you. But this is the man who wants to replace the world's cars with electric vehicles and colonise Mars with SpaceX, so any lack of surprises, might be most surprising.
Musk wants to go to Mars as "extinction insurance".
"At our current rate of technological growth, humanity is on a path to be godlike in its capabilities," Musk tells the author.
"You could bicycle to Alpha Centauri in a few hundred thousand years, and that's nothing on an evolutionary scale. If an advanced civilisation existed at any place in this galaxy, at any point in the past 13.8 billion years, why isn't it everywhere? Even if it moved slowly, it would only need something like .01 per cent of the Universe's lifespan to be everywhere. So why isn't it?"
Musk suggests the answer may be that we are in some sort of "simulation".
It's easy to understand the snark that greeted him when he first suggested his plans for colonisation of Mars, but while reading the piece you can't help but have the fact that this man has pretty much pulled off almost everything he set out to do at the back of your mind.
Mad or genius? Maybe both. Maybe that's what he needs to be to pull this off. And maybe, he just will.
Why women leave IT
First things first. It ain't because of the maths.
"Stories from 716 women who left tech show that the industry's culture is the primary culprit, not any issues related to science education," Kieran Snyder writes in Forbes.
It's an issue that is gaining attention, though it's always been there, but this piece highlights the issue through some heartbreakingly personal stories. Ultimately, the numbers cannot be ignored.
"One-hundred-ninety-two women cited discomfort working in environments that felt overtly or implicitly discriminatory as a primary factor in their decision to leave tech. That's just over a quarter of the women surveyed. Several of them mention discrimination related to their age, race, or sexuality in addition to gender and motherhood."
And that's the good news.
"Of the 716 women surveyed, 465 are not working today. Two-hundred-fifty-one are employed in non-tech jobs, and 45 of those are running their own companies. A whopping 625 women say they have no plans to return to tech. Only 22—that's 3%—say they would definitely like to."

"FloodSense – Longitudinal Remote Urban Flood Monitoring" with Andrea Silverman, Charlie Mydlarz, Elizabeth Hénaff, and Tega Brain
December 4, 2020 December 11, 2020 by nyucusp
This seminar is co-sponsored by CUSP and the C2SMART Center.
Floodsense - Longitudinal Remote Urban Flood Monitoring
In New York City, sea level rise has led to a dramatic increase in flood risk, particularly in low-lying and coastal neighborhoods. High intensity rain storms compound this risk by conveying large volumes of water to drains, leading to backups and overflows. The resulting presence of standing water on streets and sidewalks can impede mobility and restrict access to transportation. Urban flood water can also contain a diverse array of contaminants, including fuels, raw sewage, and industrial/household chemicals.
Access to real-time information on flooding can improve resiliency and efficiency by allowing residents to identify navigable transportation routes and make informed decisions to avoid exposure to flood water contaminants. Flood data can also aid city agencies in delineating areas to target for flood control improvements and making data-driven decisions on flood management. However, very little data exist on the frequency and extent of urban surface flooding, and there is an unmet need for hyperlocal information on the presence and depth of street-level flood water.
In this talk we will introduce the various goals of the FloodSense project and the research that it enables. We will also cover our current and future sensing approaches for gathering street-level flood data, and the development of a hyper-local flood data portal for the project's varied stakeholders.
The FloodSense project is funded by the C2SMART USDOT University Transportation Center with support from CUSP.
Charlie Mydlarz is a Senior Research Scientist and Research Assistant Professor at NYU CUSP and the Music and Audio Research Laboratory. He is an acoustician/engineer who designs, develops, and deploys IoT devices to tackle different challenges, including: urban noise sensing, acoustic condition monitoring, urban flood detection, soundscape perception, building/classroom efficiency, and urban mobility. His PhD research at The University of Salford's Acoustic Research Centre enabled public engagement in a large-scale mass participation soundscape study using smart phones for global subjective and objective data collection and analysis.
Andrea Silverman is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. In an effort to protect public health and environmental quality, Dr. Silverman's research program is focused on detection and disinfection of pathogens in water and wastewater, and evaluation of the processes that determine the fate of microorganisms in the urban and natural water cycles. Applications of Dr. Silverman's work include water quality and wastewater treatment, the design of natural wastewater treatment systems (e.g., treatment ponds and constructed wetlands), the safe reuse of human waste, and the impact of frequent, hyperlocal flooding on urban environments. Dr. Silverman works in both high- and low-resource settings, and has conducted fundamental and applied research in New York and California, USA; Accra, Ghana; and Nairobi, Kenya.
Elizabeth Hénaff is a computational biologist with an art practice. At the center of her work is a fascination with the way living beings interact with their environment. This inquiry has produced a body of work that ranges from scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals, to projects with landscape architects, to showing as an artist nationally and internationally. Her lab at NYU Tandon School of Engineering studies the interaction of organisms and their environment through scientific and design enquiries. Through experimental practice, they aim to understand how the design decisions of architects, city planners, and material scientists affect the ubiquitous living component of the spaces we inhabit: the environmental microbiome.
She currently holds an Assistant Professor position in the Technology, Culture and Society department at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering in New York City.
Tega Brain is an Australian-born artist and environmental engineer whose work examines issues of ecology, data systems and infrastructure. She has created wireless networks that respond to natural phenomena, systems for obfuscating fitness data, and an online smell-based dating service.
She has recently exhibited at the Guangzhou Triennial, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, the New Museum, NYC and the Science Gallery in Dublin. Her work has been widely discussed in the press including in the New York Times, Art in America, The Atlantic, NPR, Al Jazeera and The Guardian and in art and technology blogs like the Creators Project and Creative Applications. She has given talks and workshops at museums and festivals like EYEO, TedxSydney and the Sonar Festival.
Tega is an Assistant Professor of Integrated Digital Media, New York University. She works with the Processing Foundation on the Learning to Teach conference series and p5js project. She has been awarded residencies and fellowships at Data & Society, Eyebeam, GASP Public Art Park, the Environmental Health Clinic and the Australia Council for the Arts.

National Geographic has just teamed up with a gaggle of private philanthropists and supporters to launch what they've dubbed the Science Exploration Education (S.E.E.) Initiative, a program that will donate 1,000 underwater drones for ocean exploration starting in 2019. Considering mankind has only actually seen and explored a fraction of the ocean, it's a pretty big step forward.
OpenROV is the developer of The Trident, a $1,499 underwater drone that's used by public safety and law enforcement, ocean researchers, and divers. And through the S.E.E. Initiative with National Geographic, researchers, citizen scientists, educators, nonprofits, and students will be able to apply for grants and drones in the Open Explorer program.
According to the program's website, anybody who's a member of Open Explorer is eligible to apply for a drone.


Friday Fire is our monthly Believer's meeting designed to inspire, develop and encourage Christians from all walks of life. We celebrate the presence of the Lord with Worship, Word and prayer ministry to those who are spiritually hungry.

M is for Mom's Meals
Dine-out options for Mother's Day in Salt Lake City
By Ted Scheffler @critic1
Try not to think about the calories. But do think about all the hours your mom spent in the kitchen cooking for you, and all the meals you remember so fondly. (Well, OK, maybe they're not all remembered fondly. You get the idea.) Isn't it time to give your mother a break from the kitchen and cooking? And, especially if yours, like mine, wasn't a particularly good cook, isn't it time to get Mom out of the kitchen?
As always, this Mother's Day is on a Sunday (May 8). Many restaurants are closed on Sundays; others will be open serving their regular menus, so you might just want to treat Mom to her favorite meal at her favorite spot. Others, such as those eateries listed below, have created special Mother's Day menus to help spoil your loving mother. She spoiled you, and now it's time to repay her.
Mother's Day brunch on the patio at charming Caffe Niche (779 E. 300 South, 801-433-3380, CaffeNiche.com) would be a great choice for Mom. Niche is offering brunch from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., priced at $30 per person for adults and $15 for kids ages 3-9. Along with $5 mimosas, bellinis and bloody Marys, brunch includes a starter, entrée and dessert.

She'll be baking pies like her malted milk and peanut butter pie, cookies and cream and more. You can place an order for a Mother's Day pie by phone or online.

How Salt Lake's Tradition wins the comfort food race.


Besides destruction of sacred sites, springs and watercourses, the mine would obliterate Apache Leap Cliff where 77 Apache freedom fighters were forced to their death by the U.S. Cavalry in the 19th Century.
This congressional land swap legislation which was first introduced by U.S. Congressman, a Republican in the Congressional District No. 1, Rick Renzi and U.S. Presidential Candidate hopeful for the Republican Party, John McCain, would enable the mine to bypass U.S. environmental and Native American cultural protection laws.
One glance at the website shows both Renzi and McCain have horrendous human rights records against indigenous peoples worldwide, not to mention massive environmental pollution records.
How can a U.S. Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party, John McCain and Rick Renzi, who was recently indicted on 35 counts of federal charges for theft, embezzlement, etc., dishonor themselves by sponsoring this cultural and environmental outrage? Would they have Congress exempt those polluting, culturally disrespectful companies from the few laws this nation has protecting our Mother Earth?"

Union organizers aim to thread Act 10 needle
By: Erik Gunn - January 28, 2020 8:48 am

In their campaign for a stronger voice in their workplace, nurses at UW Hospital and Clinics face one steep challenge.
Act 10, the same 2011 law that slashed union rights for most Wisconsin public employees to a bare minimum, went even farther for UW Hospital and Clinics employees: It ended collective bargaining entirely for workers at one of the state's largest health care institutions.
The nurses organizing the union campaign say that is why they're taking a different approach.
Although they've affiliated with the Service Employees International Union's Health Care Wisconsin division (SEIU HCWI), they are not demanding the right to bargain for a binding contract.
Instead, they emphasized in communications with the hospital management in December and again last week, they're asking for the right to "meet and confer" with hospital management about the issues they've raised in their campaign: complaints of overwork, understaffing, lack of professional respect and fears that conditions could compromise patient care.
"We are NOT asking the union to act as our agent for the purposes of collective bargaining, as it did in the past; that is what is prohibited under Act 10," leaders in the nurses' unionizing campaign said in a memo they presented on Jan. 23, to the UW Hospital and Clinics board.
"We can seek, and this board can grant, voluntary recognition of an agent of our choosing to represent us in a meet and confer process — for the purposes of discussion about issues of concern to nurses."
So far, however, the hospital system and its parent entity have rejected any consideration of that approach.
What's 'meet-and-confer'?
"Meet-and-confer" is a term that stretches back decades to when public employees were starting to organize unions but before they had collective bargaining rights under the law. And it is reviving in Wisconsin since the 2011 passage of Act 10, which limits most public employee collective bargaining to wage increases only, and only up to the rate of inflation.
"If there's no [legal] duty to bargain over a topic in a collective bargaining relationship, or if there's no duty to bargain anything, there can still be a union that represents the employees, and the employer, if it wishes to, can meet and confer with the representative of the union over topics they mutually wish to discuss," says Peter Davis, a staff attorney and formerly general counsel for the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission (WERC). WERC handles legal disputes involving the labor and employment rights of state and local government employees.
Davis also is an adjunct professor teaching public sector labor law at the University of Wisconsin Law School. He specified that he spoke only for himself, not for the WERC.
Because Act 10 bars unions and public employers, like municipalities and school districts, from negotiating working conditions into contracts, some employers have started using "meet and confer" with unions to gain worker input on conditions, using the information to develop employee handbooks that have taken the place of contracts in the post-Act 10 era.
In the post-Act 10 era, a growing number of school districts are interested in the meet-and-confer practice, according to Christina Brey, spokeswoman for the Wisconsin Education Association Council.
"We are seeing an increasing number of school districts that are using meet-and-confer to bring educators to the table, especially at a time of teacher short crisis," Brey says. "Nothing in any law prohibits a district from sitting down and talking about issues of mutual concern, and we're seeing more and more districts put aside the politics and asking educators what is happening at their school and what the solutions are."
Unlike a contract, an employee handbook, whether written unilaterally or with worker and union input through meet-and-confer, is not legally binding on the employer. "It's certainly not a contract, so it can't be enforced in that fashion if an employer chooses to move away from it," says Davis of the WERC.
While the meet-and-confer model doesn't produce an enforceable agreement the way collective bargaining does, Brey of WEAC considers it a preliminary step to tap into employee perspectives. "Wisconsin will revisit collective bargaining" in schools, she says. "But in the meantime, before we get there, we would encourage all districts to value their employees at least enough to bring their union to the table via meet and confer."

Meet-and-confer "really is an informal way of bargaining," says Marquette University labor law professor Paul Secunda. "It takes away the antagonistic and vituperative side."
Adds Secunda: "The problem is at the end of the day, with meet-and-confer the management might take some of the suggestions and not others. At the end of the day, it's not as enforceable."
Ignoring the distinction
Nurses active in the UW Hospital and Clinics union organizing campaign have said that, before losing their collective bargaining rights due to Act 10, strong union representation contributed to a collegial atmosphere in their workplace and gave them support in advocating for the best interests of patients.
In dealing with the union revival effort, the UW Hospital and Clinics Authority (UWHCA) — the corporate parent for the UW Hospital system — has so far rejected any distinction between what the union campaign is seeking and traditional collective bargaining. The UWHCA was created in 1996 to separate the hospital system from the University.
Instead, the hospital authority has simply cited Act 10's elimination of collective bargaining for the UW Hospital and Clinics employees and declared it would refuse to recognize the union.
After nurses leading the unionizing campaign first confronted the hospital system's board at its monthly meeting December 19, UWCHA released a statement that said: "State statute eliminated collective bargaining at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority following the expiration of pre-existing collective bargaining agreements."
At the board meeting last Thursday, the the nurses campaigning for union representation reiterated the demands that they made in December: voluntary recognition; a meet-and-confer process for engaging with hospital management; and reinstituting past policies that required just cause for firings and allowed employees to have a union representative present when meeting with management while being investigated for discipline.
Shortly after the Thursday board meeting, though, the UWHCA published a statement sticking to and expanding on the position that Act 10 barred it from having any dealings with the union, and dismissing the "meet-and-confer" proposal.
"UWHCA, as a result of the 2011 Act 10 legislation, cannot engage in collective bargaining negotiations," the authority's Jan. 23 statement said. "UWHCA cannot recognize SEIU as the representative for all UWHCA nurses or meet and confer to reach an agreement with it regarding the terms of UWHCA nurses' employment."
Nurse union organizers, however, contend that the hospital management has willfully distorted their demands while misstating what the law does permit.
The portion of Act 10 that refers to the hospital and clinics never mentions "meet-and-confer."
Late on Thursday, the nurses' union put out a statement of its own in response to the UWHCA's rejection of the nurses' demands.
"The purpose of the presentation to the Board was to clarify exactly what we are asking for, and how it is compliant within the context of Act 10," union organizers stated. "The Board raised no objections, asked few questions, and sought little further clarification."
Organizers said they were "disappointed and surprised … to see the Board's statements in the media claiming that they cannot recognize our union voluntarily, when they made no such claim to us when we were present to discuss it with them."
Reiterating that they were not seeking collective bargaining rights but rather an opportunity to air concerns with management, the nurses' union stated that for the UWHCA Board, offering voluntary recognition and agreeing to a meet-and-confer process was the "the only thing that they CAN do under Act 10."
WERC lawyer and labor law professor Davis told the Wisconsin Examiner there doesn't appear to be anything in Act 10 that would outlaw a voluntary meet-and confer arrangement along the lines suggested by the revived UW Hospital nurses union.
Davis said his comments were not representing WERC and could not be taken as binding on the agency's decisions. But he said: "My understanding would be that the employer would be free to hold those discussions if they wished to do so."
Correction and clarification: Updated 1/29/2020, 3 PM
This article originally stated incorrectly that references to "an agreement regarding terms and conditions of employment" could not be found in union communications submitted to the UW Hospital and Clinic Authority (UWHCA) board.
That statement was in error and has been deleted.
In a Dec. 17 memo, union organizers told the UWHCA board that they sought a meet-and-confer process "with the goal of reaching an agreement regarding terms and conditions of employment." UWHCA referred to that passage when it declared Jan. 23 that legally "UWHCA cannot recognize SEIU as the representative for all UWHCA nurses or meet and confer to reach an agreement with it regarding the terms of UWHCA nurses' employment."
Lester Pines, a lawyer who has represented unionized nurses at UWHCA in the past, disputes that UWHCA assertion, however. He tells Wisconsin Examiner that the voluntary meet-and-confer process is not the same as collective bargaining; voluntary agreements reached through the process are not governed by collective bargaining laws; and that nothing in Act 10 bars employers and workers from voluntarily discussing or reaching such agreements.

Ebola Patients Coming to the US: How Safe Are We?
Two Americans who are battling the deadly Ebola virus are being evacuated from Africa with the plan to fly them to U.S. hospitals to receive treatment.
The patients, who both caught the disease while in Africa, will be transported in elaborate isolation chambers and receive treatment by medical staff in protective suits.
Despite the precautions, fears about the incurable virus have spread well beyond Africa. And when the doctors are indeed brought to the U.S., it would be the first time that people with Ebola would be on American soil.

"This concern about the introduction of Ebola and its possible spread in the United States has been an aspect of this story that has taken off and somewhat surprised those of us in infectious disease and public health," said Dr. William Shaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
"There are a number of reasons for that — it's a very very fatal virus, and this outbreak is the largest ever and it's not controlled so that's frightening. It's exotic and mysterious coming from Africa, and now there are two American faces to it and in fact those American faces are coming home," he said.

The patients, Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly, will be transported one by one, sources told ABC News today.
There are plans to transfer one of the patients to Emory University Hospital's special facility containment unit within the next several days, hospital officials said in a statement.
Officials said the patient will arrive in Atlanta sometime next week. Where the other patient will be taken remains unclear.
But the risk to the wider American public remains minimal, Shaffner explained.
"Even if a case were imported into the US — and here we're bringing two people for hospital care — that actually the risk for Americans is essentially zero," he said.
PHOTO: A nurse sets an information sign about Ebola on a wall of a public health center
The reason the risk is so small for the American public is that individuals who have Ebola only become contagious when they begin to show symptoms of the disease — and then can only transfer it via bodily fluids such as blood, vomit, and urine.
It does not spread through casual contact or by sharing the same air that an infected person is breathing.
U.S. Centers for Disease Control

Thus if a person in America began to show symptoms, they would be quarantined immediately and anyone with whom they had close personal contact with would be monitored closely for any signs that they had become infected.
Shaffner said he would feel comfortable sitting next to someone on a plane, in a taxi, or in a subway car even if the person was infected, which is incredibly unlikely.
"The average citizen I think can watch this and be pleased that there is an alert clinical and public health response mechanism and be reassured that this viral infection is not going to establish itself in this country," Shaffner said. "We don't have the environment that is conducive to this virus. We might get some imported cases, and God forbid it might spread to a healthcare worker but it would not spread further."

Croatia vs Italy Euro 2016 Betting Preview
Ian Palmer
The top two teams in Group H of Euro 2016 qualifying will be squaring off against each other this Friday, June 12 as Croatia hosts Italy at Stadion Poljud in the city of Split. Croatia enters the match as the group leaders with 13 points after five games while Italy sits in second spot with 11 points. Croatia is undefeated so far with four wins and a draw while the Italian squad has three victories and a pair of draws. Croatia also has a big lead when it comes to goal differential as they're plus-13 with 15 goals scored and two allowed. Italy has scored eight times and conceded four for a plus-four rating.
Croatia vs Italy
Euro 2016 Betting Preview – bet365 lists Croatia as the favorites to win the game at 5/4 with Italy 12/5 and a draw at 21/10
This is a huge game for Italy since a loss means they could be overtaken by third-place Norway, who have nine points. The Norwegians are followed by Bulgaria in fourth place with five points, Azerbaijan with three and last-place Malta with one point. Croatia has met Italy eight times in the past at the senior men's level with three wins, a loss and four draws. However, they haven't managed to beat Italy at home as of yet with a pair of draws in their two encounters in Croatia. Two of those contests came at major tournaments with the teams playing to a 1-1 draw at Euro 2012 and Croatia winning 2-1 at the 2002 World Cup in Japan.
The two countries met back in November in Euro 2016 qualifying and played to a 1-1 draw in Milano, Italy. Italy took the lead after 11 minutes when Antonio Candreva scored, but Ivan Perisic pulled the Croatians level just four minutes later. Croatia is currently enjoying a seven-game unbeaten streak against Italy. The last time the Italians managed a victory over them was back in 1942 when Croatia was still part of the former nation of Yugoslavia. Italy managed a 4-0 win in that game, which was the first between the two nations.
Croatia typically struggles when they play at the Stadion Poljud in Split as they've won just one game there, which was a 2-1 decision over Georgia in a Euro 2012 qualifying clash. They've also lost three games there and have drawn the other six. One of the draw was a 1-1 stalemate against Italy in Euro 96 qualifying. Overall, Italy is unbeaten in their past eight outings with five wins and three draws since being eliminated from last year's World Cup in Brazil in the group stage. Croatia has also played well in their last eight with six victories, a loss and a draw. Their lone defeat came by a 2-1 score at the hands of Argentina last November.
Italy has an excellent record in qualifying games for European Championships and World Cup tournaments. They're unbeaten in their past 45 qualifying contests with 33 wins and 12 draws. Their last loss came back in 2006 when they dropped a Euro 2008 qualifying match in France by a score of 3-1.

When encoding video with the h264 Quick Sync encoder, sometimes an error gets returned that reads "EncodeFrameAsync? returned -17".
I believe that -17 is the Intel error code "MFX_ERR_DEVICE_FAILED". I've reproduced the error with many different images sizes, but it was easy enough to reproduce the problem with a 256x256 image size.
The input data is irrelevant, so the test.avi just has green images. I've attached it anyway, so the test can be repeated exactly as I have performed it.
This test was run on my Windows 7 64-bit machine with Quick Sync Hardware Version 5 (Skylake). My Windows 10 64-bit machine with Quick Sync Hardware Version 3 (Haswell) will also fail running this test, but instead of returning the -17 error, it simply hangs.
My test.avi has 1000 frames, and many times the encoding will be successful. You may need to run the test several times before seeing this error.

I have also encountered this error. I have never seen this on a Windows 7 x64 machine. Until now I had thought this was a Windows 10 only problem, though on one machine it never occurred with Windows 7, it did after installing Windows 10. that was a Haswell machine (i7-4790S @ 3.20 Ghz) with only an Intel GPU. I've also seen it on my Windows 10 x64 machine with an i7-4790 @4.00 Ghz, nVidia 970 and 32Gb ram. the most important difference being an outboard GPU.
Also, FWIW I have seen this on very recent builds from the Zeranoe site as well as my own builds.
I've seen the 'hang' on Windows 10 as well. In this case it was with the default Intel Graphics driver installed with Windows. When this happens MFX_EncodeFrameAsync returns MFX_WRN_DEVICE_BUSY forever. In my own build I added a timeout and treat it as an error.
I also concur that the input doesn't seem to matter, although I see it more at 1920x1080.
I've also tried a number of variations in rate control and other adjustments, but none seem to matter.
I've added a couple of trace logs. The second shows a typical failure.
The failure seems to occur just before the time that the queue would get full enough to call MFXVideoCORE_SyncOperation() where it would output the first part of the bitstream.
Was the issue fixed in current FFmpeg git head?
The problem stopped occurring for me when I updated to the latest Intel® Graphics Driver (version 15.45.10.4542). Hopefully this will work for others as well.
I'm still seeing this issue on recent zeranoe builds (20170921-183fd30), on a variety of windows computers that are all running the latest Intel Graphics drivers.
I haven't been able to track down the issue yet since it's very intermittent. Running the same command over and over, the encoder will fail atleast half the time.
I have two computers running Windows 10.
The first does not reproduce this issue. It's an Intel Celeron J1800 with v10.18.10.4425 of the Intel HD Graphics driver.
The second computer reproduces this issue very often. It is an Intel Celeron N3450 with v22.20.16.4771 of the Intel HD Graphics driver.
(I've also observed this behavior previously on several machines, including one with a i5-4570).
I was also able to reproduce on a Windows 10 Pro machine with an i5-6600K, running the same version of the driver as the other computer that shows the problem (v22.20.16.4771 Intel HD Graphics 530).
Reproduced again on an i3-4130 running Windows 10 Pro, with both v20.19.15.4531 (dated 9/29/2016) and v20.19.15.4703 (dated 6/9/2017).
I did some googling to see how other mfx consumers deal with these errors.

Soul Teaser Trailer Released By Pixar Disney
By Michael SandovalNovember 7, 2019One Comment
Disney Pixar released a teaser for the second film for 2020 that is entitled, Soul. Starring the voice talent of Jaime Foxx and Tina Fey and set to be released next summer.
Directed by two-time Academy Award®-winner Pete Docter, co-directed by Kemp Powers and produced by Academy Award®-nominee Dana Murray, Disney and Pixar's "Soul" opens in theaters on June 19, 2020. According to Docter, the idea for the story is 23 years in the making. "It started with my son—he's 23 now—but the instant he was born, he already had a personality," says Docter. "Where did that come from? I thought your personality developed through your interaction with the world. And yet, it was pretty clear that we're all born with a very unique, specific sense of who we are."
"Soul" introduces Joe Gardner, a middle-school band teacher whose true passion is playing jazz. "I think Joe is having that crisis that all artists have," says Powers. "He's increasingly feeling like his lifelong dream of being a jazz musician is not going to pan out and he's asking himself 'Why am I here? What am I meant to be doing?' Joe personifies those questions."
In the film, just when Joe thinks his dream might be in reach, a single unexpected step sends him to a fantastical place where he's is forced to think again about what it truly means to have soul. That's where he meets and ultimately teams up with 22, a soul who doesn't think life on Earth is all it's cracked up to be. Jamie Foxx lends his voice to Joe, while Tina Fey voices 22. "The comedy comes naturally," says Murray. "But the subtle emotion that reveals the truth to the characters is really something special."

The broadcaster legally became known as SBS in March 2000, changing its corporate name from Seoul Broadcasting System (서울방송). Its flagship terrestrial television station SBS TV broadcasts as channel 6 for digital and cable.

Established on 14 November 1990, SBS is the largest private broadcaster in South Korea, and is owned by the Taeyoung Construction. It operates its flagship television channel which has a nationwide network of 10 regional stations, and three radio networks. SBS has provided digital terrestrial television service in the ATSC format since 2001, and T-DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) service since 2005.

History
After the 1987 South Korean democratic reform, the government had decided to create a new commercial broadcaster in South Korea. Eventually, MBC was a mouthpiece of KBS to broadcast sporting events like the 1986 FIFA World Cup, and however, the purpose for South Korea's new commercial broadcaster has to become an alternative channel to the audience that it was before 1990 mastered by MBC. Then, during the separation of MBC from KBS, the government had luckily succeeded it, and by that, it introduced a new South Korean commercial broadcaster called SBS. According to the National Pension Service, SBS is South Korea's second commercial broadcaster after MBC, and it were founded on 14 November 1990, when the government allowed the creation of a second commercial station in Seoul. At the same time, during its establishment, SBS were first marking its start by beginning its experimental demo emissions, and then later, it were therefore commencing its test transmissions for its TV and radio channels on 1 December 1990, that same year. Later, on 20 March 1991, SBS started its regular broadcasts by launching SBS Radio's first regular broadcasts on AM 792kHz. 9 months later, on 1 December 1991, that same year, when MBC celebrated its 30th anniversary, SBS commenced its official broadcasts with the introduction of SBS TV at 10:00am in Seoul, and it was designated as "The Day of Birth of SBS", as it broadcast by MBC on the program MBC Newsdesk. Initially, SBS were only broadcasting terrestrially in Seoul and its surrounding areas. On 9 October 1992, the government began accepting applications for private broadcasting stations in other regions of the country. SBS had planned for a television and radio broadcast affiliate network that aims to air SBS' programs in other new regional channels before its 5th anniversary. In 1994, the private channels KNN in Busan, TJB in Daejeon, TBC in Daegu, and kbc in Gwangju were created after government approval. On 14 May 1995, SBS launched its national television network with its new local affiliates, KNN, TJB, TBC, and kbc. SBS had managed a network that airs SBS programs in other regional channels while local stations created local programming to suit the local residents needs.

In 1996, plans for an FM radio station, which will complement the existing AM station came into fruition. On 14 November 1996, SBS Power FM began broadcasting on 107.7 MHz as a music-centric station. On 4 January 1999, the original SBS Radio on AM 792 kHz began broadcasting on FM as well. The station rebranded as SBS Love FM on 103.5 MHz, simultaneously airing on both AM and FM frequencies. High-definition digital television was introduced in 2001. Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) was introduced in 2005.

SBS introduced its current logo on 14 November 2000, after its 10th anniversary celebration titled SBS 10th Anniversary Special: Thank You, Viewers to ensure the overall coherence of the current identity. SBS' logo has three embryos placed in a circle of the model where three colors are used to represent the symbol of human-centered, cultural and creative, future-oriented management philosophy, showing that the 'life' and 'the seeds of civilization' has centered on the theme of SBS. SBS' branding is used in all sectors such as vehicle, microphone, envelopes, business cards, memorabilia, helicopter, signs, ganpanryu, seosikryu, uniforms, program title, etc. SBS also had used the slogan "Humanism thru Digital" until January 2010 where a new slogan is currently used. Gomi is the mascot of SBS-oriented as the new face of 'Humanism thru Digital' through the harmony of nature and human life where green environment is important. On 29 October 2012, SBS TV became South Korea's second channel to go 24/7, but it had discontinued in 2017 thus, have reverted to daily sign-off routines during overnights (alongside MBC TV).

The network's current advertising slogan is Together, we make delight (함께 만드는 기쁨), as used in a new station identification video with apl.de.ap's "We Can Be Anything" as background music.
