Q: Get webRTC to listen to a UDP connection I have been really struggling to send data from Matlab over a network to a series of 'Dashboards' written in HTML/JS that essentially just display the data.
In Matlab I use uSend = udpport("datagram","IPV4","LocalHost","127.0.0.1","LocalPort",3333) then write(uSend,D,"char","LocalHost",2560) to send an array D=jsonencode([1,2,3,4,5]) to port 2560.
My current implementation uses NodeJS 'dgram' to receive the data. The implementation below works:
const dgram = require('dgram');
const socket = dgram.CreateSocket('udp4');
socket.on('message', (msg,rinfo) => {
    console.log(`Data Received: ${JSON.parse(msg)}`)
})
socket.bind(2560,"127.0.0.1")

BUT: This only works with NodeJS i.e. run the script above node script.js. The 'Dashboards' need to run essentially on a chrome browser, which dgram won't work (not even with browserify, it's not a supported function).
Hence, my hands are sort of tied, with Matlab I can realistically only send UDP (it's multicast) and I can't get UDP data on the JS side of things.
I was wondering, with webRTC, is it possible to get it to listen to a port? e.g. something like webRTC listen to port 2560 @127.0.0.1?
Any help would be much appreciated! I am relatively new to programming so I may be asking the wrong question here. Thanks

A: WebRTC requires a lot more then just a UDP port unfortunately.
I would suggest instead running a node.js server that accepts incoming multicast traffic and caches like this.
const dgram = require('dgram');
const socket = dgram.CreateSocket('udp4');
let data = [];
socket.on('message', (msg,rinfo) => {
    data.push(JSON.parse(msg))
})
socket.bind(2560,"127.0.0.1")

Then I would provide a HTTP endpoint that returns the JSON. You can have the browser poll this at an interval of your choosing.
const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
    response.end(JSON.stringify(data));
})

const port = 3000
server.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Server listening on port ${port}`);
})

You can then test this by doing curl http://localhost:3000. You are just caching the data then making it available via HTTP request.
In the future I would look into using a Websocket instead. This way the server can push the data to the browser as soon as it is available. Using a HTTP endpoint requires the browser to request on an interval.

Regular private meetings among top Penn State trustees may be violating Pa.'s transparency law
by Wyatt Massey of Spotlight PA State College | Sept. 15, 2022
Abby Drey / Centre Daily Times
This story was produced by the State College regional bureau of Spotlight PA, an independent, nonpartisan newsroom dedicated to investigative and public-service journalism for Pennsylvania. Sign up for our regional newsletter, Talk of the Town.
STATE COLLEGE — For more than a decade, some of the most powerful members of the Pennsylvania State University's Board of Trustees have regularly met in private, actions that media law experts say may violate the state's open meetings law.
The board's executive committee includes the chairs of other committees and university President Neeli Bendapudi, among others. Bendapudi is a non-voting member.
The committee exists "to transact all necessary business" that could occur between regular meetings of the full board, according to board bylaws. The board's governing documents require the committee's meetings and agendas to be made public.
Yet the committee's last public meeting was more than a decade ago. Since then, the committee has used a provision of the Pennsylvania Sunshine Act — which determines public access to governing bodies — that allows officials to gather for "conferences" without public notice or other transparency measures.
The law says conferences can only take place in limited circumstances, primarily as a "training program or seminar, or any session arranged by State or Federal agencies" and never to deliberate business.
Pennsylvania's three other state-related universities — Temple University, University of Pittsburgh, and Lincoln University — have trustee executive committees that post public meeting minutes. Pennsylvania's state-related universities are independently governed but receive some state funding.
The University of Pennsylvania, a private university, also makes available the minutes of its executive committee meetings.
Shannon Harvey, the director of Penn State's Office of the Board of Trustees, told Spotlight PA in an Aug. 17 email that the executive committee uses the conference provision to "review Board and committee agendas and for planning purposes." The executive committee's planning and discussions of agendas don't rise to the level of deliberating "agency business," Harvey wrote in an Aug. 26 email.
Harvey wouldn't provide information about which state or federal agencies hosted training programs for the executive committee during its conferences, nor would she explain how the board determined that reviewing agendas or planning is considered a "training program or seminar," as defined by the law.
"We believe that our conferences are structured to comply with the law and facilitate good governance," Harvey wrote in a follow-up email.
Melissa Melewsky — media law counsel with the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association, of which Spotlight PA is a member — said Penn State's explanation was "inconsistent with the law." If a committee is authorized to render advice to the board of trustees, even if that committee is not voting, then it must comply with the law, Melewksy said.
"The law recognizes that most of the deliberation, and most of the real work on a particular issue is farmed out to the committee," she said. "And the committee does all the legwork and all the discussion, and all the changes happen there. So, if you cut the public out of that process, all you see and participate in as the public is the end result and you've lost your opportunity to help shape public policy."
Melewsky questioned why Penn State's executive committee needs to have its gatherings in private, without public notice or input, if such gatherings are as nondescript as the board claims.
Harvey declined to explain why the board chooses to make this committee's gatherings private. She also would not discuss how the executive committee's ability to set agendas might influence the business of the full board or its other committees.
Because the gatherings are not open to the public and no official minutes are taken, it's nearly impossible to know what is happening behind closed doors, or if the committee is following the law.
"There's no records kept of it, and as long as they don't break ranks, you'll never know exactly what they said," said Craig Staudenmaier, an attorney with Nauman Smith Shissler & Hall and an expert in media law. "But it's only human nature to start voicing an opinion or to start discussing it. The more discussion that goes, the closer and closer it gets to deliberation, in my opinion."
The committee's last official meeting, a record of which is publicly available, occurred Dec. 2, 2011, while the university grappled with the fallout of the Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. During the seven-minute meeting, the committee approved a previous board decision to accept Graham Spanier's resignation as university president and to end Joe Paterno's tenure as head football coach.
Since then, the executive committee has continued to gather in private, with the full board voting in new members. The committee has gathered five times in 2022, according to information Harvey provided to Spotlight PA.
The effectiveness of the committee was called into question during the July 22 meeting of the board of trustees, when Barry Fenchak, a trustee elected by alumni, asked when it had last met to deliberate university business. Board of Trustees Chair Matthew Schuyler said the group had met a few weeks prior to the July meeting.
Fenchak told trustees he doubted the executive committee's ability to responsibly oversee the university.
"In fact, it's an opportunity to be incongruent with responsible governance, so I can't support further additions to that committee," said Fenchak, who was the lone vote that day against appointing a new member to the executive committee.
The board's seven other committees have all held public meetings in 2022, with agendas and minutes posted online.
State courts have not provided a clear test to determine whether something is a meeting or a conference, Staudenmaier said. If a quorum of officials in a public body gathers, they have to demonstrate why the meeting should not be open, he said.
Conferences are supposed to be educational and can involve fact-finding, Staudenmaier said. But once people start sharing opinions or talking about implementing changes to the organization, then the gathering becomes a meeting as defined under the law.
The state's Sunshine Act allows for fines ranging from $100 to $1,000, plus the cost of prosecution, for a first offense by any agency member who knowingly violates the law. The fine increases to $500 to $2,000 for subsequent offenses.

U Should've Known Better è un brano musicale R&B della cantante statunitense Monica, scritto dalla stessa con Harold Lilly e Jermaine Dupri e prodotto da Dupri con l'aiuto di Bryan Michael Cox. Il brano è stato inciso nel 2002 per l'allora ipotetico terzo album della cantante, All Eyez On Me, poi mai uscito, per poi essere reinserito nell'album definitivo After the Storm del 2003. Il pezzo è stato pubblicato nella primavera del 2004 come quarto e ultimo singolo tratto dal disco, ed ha avuto un buon successo, essendo riuscito ad entrare nella top20 della Billboard Hot 100 e nella top10 della Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

Composizione e testo
Il singolo segna il ritorno di Monica allo stile che l'ha resa famosa, quello delle ballad, dopo una serie di singoli con un groove molto diverso (l'ultima ballata di successo dell'artista era stata Angel of Mine nel 1999). Il brano è stato prodotto da Jermaine Dupri, con il quale Monica aveva già lavorato in passato, soprattutto per il suo secondo album, con l'aiuto di Bryan Michael Cox. Il sound del brano è quello di una ballata R&B con elementi rock, grazie alla presenza di una chitarra che domina in una pausa strumentale prima del ritornello finale. Il testo è stato scritto da Monica e rappresenta una dichiarazione d'amore al proprio partner, che cerca di rassicurarlo e di fugare suoi eventuali dubbi sulla relazione.  Nella prima strofa la cantante dice di non aver mai avuto bisogno di pellicce, gioielli, vacanze in Messico o momenti di shopping sfrenato a Melrose Avenue, perché le cose materiali non hanno mai significato nulla per lei. Nell'introduzione al coro Monica assicura di non aver mai mentito né tradito, e chiede al compagno di smetterla di chiederle perché non l'abbia mai lasciato e perché è ancora con lui.
Il ritornello si rivolge al partner, dicendogli che avrebbe dovuto conoscere meglio i sentimenti della cantante invece che dubitare di lei e pensare a una possibile rottura. Nella seconda strofa la cantante si chiede cosa abbia spinto il ragazzo a pensare che lei lo avrebbe dimenticato, e gli ricorda che ogni lunedì e ogni sabato è sempre stata pronta a rispondergli al telefono; riguardo al fatto che gli amici e la famiglia di lei le dicano di lasciarlo, Monica dice che non capiscono e che farebbero meglio a lasciare loro due in pace.

La canzone è stata incisa nel 2002 negli studi di Dupri, i SouthSide Studios, ad Atlanta; concepita originariamente per l'album All Eyez On Me, poi mai uscito, è stata reinserita nel 2003 nel terzo definitivo album After The Storm insieme ad altre quattro canzoni. Nella scaletta di All Eyez On Me era prevista anche la presenza di una seconda versione del brano chiamata U Should've Known Better Part II, del tutto simile all'originale tranne che per la presenza di un ponte cantato al posto dell'assolo di chitarra prima del ritornello finale.

Video
Il videoclip del singolo, diretto da Benny Boom e prodotto da Joyce Washington per FM Rocks, è stato girato nell'aprile del 2004 in varie location del Messico. Il video segue il testo della canzone e presenta una storia riguardante i fraintendimenti che ci sono in una storia d'amore. Nel video Monica vive una relazione con un giovane, interpretato da Young Buck, che si trova in una piccola prigione di un villaggio messicano. Mentre la ragazza pensa costantemente al suo fidanzato rivedendo filmati del tempo trascorso assieme, un amico del ragazzo la becca con un suo amico per strada, e malignamente telefona all'amico in prigione per raccontarle che ha visto la sua ragazza con un altro. Tramite un trasferimento di chiamata mette in contatto l'amico con la sua ragazza, e questo inizia ad imprecarle contro, mentre lei si chiede disturbata quale sia il motivo di questo comportamento. A questo punto, ispirata dalla situazione, Monica inizia a scrivere su un quaderno il testo della canzone; successivamente si trova in vestaglia rosa di fronte allo specchio, e facendola cadere apre la scena seguente, che la vede guidare una decappottabile attraverso il deserto per oltrepassare la frontiera e andare in Messico. Una volta arrivata nel villaggio dove si trova imprigionato il ragazzo, raggiunge la prigione e paga per liberarlo. Uno di fronte all'altra, dopo una prima resistenza, i due si abbracciano calorosamente.
Il look di Monica in questo video è molto curato e sofisticato, ed è molto diverso rispetto a quello dei video precedenti. I capelli della cantante sono qui di una sfumatura tra il biondo e il ramato, e sono lisci. In una scena che accompagna il video dall'inizio alla fine, la cantante si trova su un balconcino in perfetto stile messicano, con capelli legati, tacchi alti e un abito di vari colori, leggero e molto corto, con maniche larghe e scollatura a "V". Nella scena in cui scrive la canzone si trova nel salone della sua abitazione, dove veste una canottiera rosa a strisce e ha le trecce. Nella sequenza ambientata in Messico l'artista sfoggia capelli sciolti e una frangetta lunga non presente nelle acconciature delle scene precedenti. Qui la cantante indossa pantaloni bianchi, sandali con tacchi alti e un corpetto intrecciato che finisce in una gonna.

Il video è stato presentato in anteprima mondiale su BET, ed è entrato nelle classifiche di vari programmi, tra cui MTV TRL e 106 & Park di BET.

Ricezione
Dopo l'insuccesso di Knock Knock nelle classifiche, la casa discografica J Records si dimostrava riluttante all'idea di pubblicare un altro singolo. Tuttavia la cantante decise inizialmente di pubblicare come ultimo singolo Don't Gotta Go Home, duetto con DMX, ma poi il video non è stato girato e l'idea è stata abbandonata.

Così la scelta è caduta su U Should've Known Better come quarto e ultimo singolo tratto da After the Storm. Uscito un anno dopo la pubblicazione dell'album, il singolo è entrato nella classifica R&B/Hip-hop di Billboard al numero 72 come Hot Shot Debut, la settimana del 3 aprile 2004. Due mesi dopo, ovvero il 6 giugno, il singolo è entrato anche nella Hot 100, al numero 67, come secondo debutto più alto della settimana. Durante la settimana del 31 luglio il singolo ha raggiunto la sua posizione più alta, la numero 19, diventando il nono singolo della cantante ad entrare nella top20 statunitense e il secondo singolo di successo dopo So Gone, passando 20 settimane in classifica. Nella Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs il brano è arrivato alla posizione numero 6, diventando il nono singolo della cantante ad entrare nella top10 di questa classifica. Il successo del singolo è riconducibile soprattutto al passaggio in radio, considerate le posizioni alte raggiunte nelle classifiche dedicate esclusivamente al passaggio radiofonico e tenendo conto del fatto che il brano non è mai stato pubblicato nel formato di cd singolo o maxi singolo.
Nella classifica di fine anno il singolo ha raggiunto la posizione 72 nella Hot 100, e la 29 nella Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

In the Brazil versus Colombia quarter-final the Spanish referee Carlos Velasco Carballo awarded 54 free-kicks – more than either of the most notorious gorefests in World Cup history, the 1962 Battle of Santiago, between Chile and Italy, or 1954's Battle of Berne, between Hungary and Brazil – but showed just four yellow cards. Even though there were precisely as many fouls in the first half as in the second, the first booking did not arrive until the 64th minute. Most controversially, Juan Zúñiga was not cautioned for the foul that left Neymar with a fractured vertebra and briefly unable to feel his legs.
In its aftermath the German tabloid Bild alleged that Fifa had come to a "secret arrangement" with referees, instructing them not to book players in the first half of matches unless absolutely necessary. A Fifa spokesperson insisted there was no truth in the story – "Protecting [players] is the most important thing we do," they huffed – but the statistics seem hard to refute.
In the four quarter-finals just one man – Costa Rica's Júnior Díaz – received a first-half booking, but 12 men were cautioned after half-time (and two in the single period of extra time). That is one booking for every 360 first-half minutes, and one every 15 minutes thereafter. In the last 16 there were eight first-half bookings, compared with 17 in the second half and six in extra time (even though just four of the eight matches had extra time). That's one booking every 45 first-half minutes, and one every 20 minutes and 52 seconds thereafter. In the group stage there were 42 first-half bookings (one every 51 minutes and 26 seconds), and 86 in the second half (one every 25 minutes and 7 seconds). All this is despite a near-even distribution of fouls – up to the end of the quarter-finals there had been 843 in first halves, and 894 in second halves.
This is not an entirely new trend – in the last Premier League season there were nearly twice as many bookings in the second half (828) as there were in the first half (422) – but Carballo and his colleagues do seem to be stretching it to hitherto unexplored heights. It's increasingly clear that this is indeed a game of two halves, and that fouls will only be seriously punished in one of them.
Leighton Baines was isolated and exposed as Italy attacked at their leisure down England's left in their opening game, was only marginally more assured in his second appearance against Uruguay and was omitted for their by-then-meaningless third. Cole was often outstanding in winning 107 caps for his country but rarely has he looked quite as good as when, in his absence, Antonio Candreva skipped past Baines with humiliating ease before dropping a cross on to Mario Balotelli's head in Manaus.
The Uzbek whistle-wielder has made history in Brazil, taking charge of four matches which, when added to the five he officiated in South Africa four years ago, gives him the most World Cup appearances of any referee ever. At the sprightly age of 36, he is likely to return in Russia and stretch his lead still further, and is the bookmakers' favourite to take charge of this year's final. Irmatov's popularity with the selectors is unusual: he was the only referee to get five matches in 2010, and is one of only two to have already had four in this tournament.
Irmatov is proof of Fifa's variable-amounts-of-tolerance policy regarding refereeing errors. Yuichi Nishimura, for example, got a penalty decision wrong in the opening game between Brazil and Croatia and was never seen again. Felix Brych had a perfectly good first game, but failed to give Russia a penalty in his second and when they lost to Belgium he too was dumped.
Irmatov and his team, on the other hand, made a terrible offside decision at 1-1 in their first match, between Switzerland and Ecuador, but got away with it because the Swiss won anyway (thanks, it must be said, to an excellent stoppage-time advantage). Then in their second game Irmatov's squad missed a clear penalty when Croatia's Darijo Srna palmed away Andrés Guardado's shot – with the score at 0-0 – and got away with it because the Mexicans won anyway. Indeed, given the potentially tournament-ending implications of the Swiss not scoring their last-gasp winner in Brasília it is hardly surprising that he was so keen for that attack to continue.
His tournament has improved since, though no performance has been perfect – in his third game Irmatov absent-mindedly ran right into the USA's Jermaine Jones as the midfielder tried to burst into Germany's penalty area, leaving the referee grinning but the player flat on the turf, and in his fourth he did nothing to tone down Tim Krul's in-your-face shootout antics against Costa Rica. Irmatov may be more experienced but he has often looked less assured than he did four years ago – not that anyone at Fifa seems to have noticed.
It has been a wonderful tournament for substitutes, with players rising from the bench to score fully 18.24% of all goals up to the end of the quarter-final stage, and Holland's Tim Krul proving the magic works at both ends by removing his bib to decide a penalty shootout. But the tournament's outstanding substitute did not score at all: the 20-year-old American DeAndre Yedlin, who arrived in Brazil a relative unknown with only two caps in his cupboard, left it the rumoured target of Liverpool, Roma and others after a series of energetic appearances off the bench. The only disappointing moment for the World Cup's benched men was when Óscar Granados was booked for being a bit narked when Costa Rica were not awarded a second-half penalty against Greece in the last 16. Mind you, even then the substitute was right – it was a clear handball (even though Los Ticos won anyway the referee involved, Australia's Benjamin Williams, was sent home without seeing further action).
For many years scientists worked on making footballs smoother and rounder, and in 2010 they got as close as they ever will to a perfectly smooth, perfectly round ball. At which point, they discovered that smooth, round balls were not, in fact, very good, especially at high altitudes. Though at the last minute Adidas tried to improve things by adding scratches – or "aero-grooves" in new-ball speak – David James still thought the Jabulani was "horrible", while Gianluigi Buffon said it was "really unpredictable" and "not decent".
The Brazuca, though, has been something of a triumph, even though it is still very round indeed, generating absolutely no furious player comments and gleaning 3.12 million followers on Twitter with occasionally witty status updates, insisting "I'm trying to go in everyone, I'm really trying!" during a goalless draw, and complaining that "Manuel Neuer won't even let me in the box, let alone the net" as the German sweeper-keeper frustrated Algeria.
Not long ago this was being widely touted as the most open and exciting World Cup of all time. After the first two rounds of group matches it seemed a perfectly reasonable claim: 94 goals had flooded in, at the rate of 2.937 per game, leaving fans worldwide drooling onto their sofas and keyboards. But there is nothing so debilitating to a footballer as fear, and as the matches grew more important the torrent of goals started to slow: the final round of group games might have had a few goal-heavy treasures –a couple of 4-1s and a 3-2 leap out – but with 42 goals and 2.625 a game it was the beginning of the end. The last 16 saw 18 goals, but exclude the seven scored in extra time and each 90-minute match mustered a meagre 1.375, a figure that slipped further in the quarter-finals to just 1.25. In all, games from the second half of the tournament have provided 2.071 goals each, excluding extra time.
The 2010 World Cup provided just 2.27 goals per game overall, but in that tournament the last 16 featured some particularly lusty attacking (and England's helpful defending), ending with a healthy 2.625 goals per game (excluding extra time), while the quarter-finals averaged 2.5. Even the 1990 World Cup, the only tournament to average fewer goals than the last, narrowly outdid the current one both in the last 16 (1.625 goals, excluding extra time) and the quarter-finals (1.5).

Relatives of 1942 Bulldogs Nostalgic about Georgia's Return to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl
Murray Poole
UGA Football No Comments
1943 Rose Bowl – No. 2 UGA defeats No. 13 UCLA 9-0
(photo from footage of the 1943 Rose Bowl from UGA Athletics Collection: The Brown Media Archive)
As all Bulldog Nation eagerly awaits the University of Georgia's first trip to the Rose Bowl in 75 years, since the Bulldogs blanked UCLA 9-0 on Jan. 1, 1943, there are several UGA fans who have a little closer connection than most to that game.
That would be Frank Sinkwich III, the grandson of Georgia's 1942 Heisman Trophy winner, Frank Sinkwich, and Bobbie Davis, the daughter of Sinkwich's talented teammate, Lamar "Racehorse" Davis.
That day, before a capacity crowd of 93,000, Sinkwich tallied the game's only touchdown on a 1-yard run and sophomore Charley Trippi ran for 130 yards and was named the game's MVP. Those 1942 Bulldogs, who lost only to Auburn that fall, went on to be named consensus national champions.
Frank Sinkwich III, who lives in Athens, has heard many recounts of his granddad's trip to the Rose Bowl, both from family members and friends. So it's easy to see how excited he is over the fact a Georgia team is finally returning to the famous stadium for the first time in over seven decades.
"My granddad really didn't talk about football all that much, at least around us," said Sinkwich. "There were a lot of stories we all knew but I don't remember him like ever directly sitting down and talking about a game or anything like that, to be honest with you.
"But I have a cousin, Todd Leckie," said Sinkwich. "He said he remembers talking to grandpa about going out there and he said grandpa told him that my grandmother (Adeline) went along with him on the trip because she wanted to go out west and see Hollywood. Coach (Wally) Butts allowed for that. It was a different time back then but you know, my granddad was a little bit of a primmer donna himself, was allowed to get away with some stuff that other players weren't allowed to get away with.
The UGA football team traveled to California to the 1943 Rose Bowl via train.
"My cousin told me grandpa talked about how beautiful that train ride was, going out through Arizona and so forth. And since my grandfather had that status he had, a lot of the guys would hang around him, playing cards and whatever. But the other guys didn't think they would get in trouble because they were hanging out with Frank Sinkwich."
Sinkwich said the Georgia players really were enamored over meeting all the movie stars once they got to Los Angeles. "They met people like Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Bob Hope and Spencer Tracy. Grandpa was overwhelmed with meeting Rita Hayworth. Todd said grandpa never stopped talking about that."
Sinkwich said the similarities between the 1942 Georgia team and the Bulldogs' SEC champions of 2017 are remarkable.

"Back then you had Frank Sinkwich and Charley Trippi, two great backs, and now you've got Sony Michel and Nick Chubb, two great backs," he said. "And you've got a Heisman Trophy winner (OU QB Baker Mayfield) playing, unfortunately for the other team. It's been 75 years since we've gone back there and it's following an SEC championship where the only team we've lost to is Auburn so it's almost history repeating itself. And my son (Frank Sinkwich IV) being a walk-on on the team you've got a Sinkwich on the team all over again, in a different capacity but on the roster. It's just quite amazing, to be honest with you!"
Lamar "Racehorse" Davis also played a big role in the Bulldogs' Rose Bowl win over UCLA. He was an All-SEC receiver and kick returner who still stands near the top of the UGA record book in that category.
"Dad was so proud that he went to the Rose Bowl," said Lamar's daughter Bobbie Davis, who resides on St. Simons Island. "He talked about riding to California on the train and he got to have dinner with a bunch of movie stars. Of course, I wasn't even born then. But dad was just really proud of playing in the Rose Bowl and I think Charley Trippi is the only one still alive from that team.
"It's wonderful Georgia gets to go back there," said Bobbie, "and of course they're going to beat Oklahoma! But everyone tells me that dad was a wonderful player and he enjoyed his after-life of the game as much as he did during the football season. It just kept him going and he thrived on it … especially being down at Roberta's (Davis's women's shop on St. Simons) and all his fans coming in and visiting him."

Ahhh. Everyone's favorite category. Naija couples know how to kiss oh. Sweet love is always in the air at PhotoGenic events so we had plenty beautiful couples to chose from. However, Abisola and Adjaji's sensual moment was hard to resist.
The question is 'What are PhotoGenic Fairies?' PhotoGenic Fairies are super gorgeous, talented photographers that create and capture magical photos, branded to match the theme of your events. Alex serenading Shola was just the quintessential Fairie moment and many guests instantly got a printed copy of this photo.

PhotoBooths amplify a brand's onsite engagement and exponentially extend its social media reach. By partnering with brilliant activation agencies, PhotoGenic delivers customized photo booths uniquely tailored to the brand experience. HP's Tech Tour Photobooth topped the charts with a significant brand presence while engaging every attendee at the event.
Photo Bombs are the best thing ever! Now tell me who has never photo bombed a picture before? The guests at Dami and Ladi's wedding did it right! Even photo bombing the couple's kiss. Lol.
Immersing a potential customer in the brand experience is essential for any product activation event. From the branded booth to the customized photo folder, the experience has to be unique to the brand. The launch of LG's G4 Smart Phone perfectly exemplifies the best way to get this done.
Watch How To Activate an Event With a Photo Booth.
PhotoGenic pioneered the art of customizing Photobooth props that capture the event's theme. Collaborating with the super talented team at No Suprises Events, the amazing James Bond themed Photo Booth Props was a hit at #TUCP2015.
Who doesn't love free party souvenirs? The guests at your event not only get to experience the fun and the magic of a photo booth, but also receive personalized photo favors to remember the event. The beautiful bridesmaids at Dayo and Tola's wedding showed off their photo souvenirs in an ultimate fun way!
It's no fun waiting for weeks after an event before the official photographs are ready, right? Well, Photo Booths have changed the game as you get your Guest Book Photo Album before the end of the reception. It's usually the best moment of the night seeing the awe on a bride's face. Sola almost teared up with joy and we loved this moment.
Insider's Tip: What Brides Think About PhotoGenic.

Props! Everyone loves Props! It's the fun engine of the PhotoBooth Experience. Some guests go crazy and use too many props and some go prop-less (boo. No fun). But the bridesmaids at My Big Nigerian Wedding picked their props perfectly and rocked it just the right way.

Our in-house graphic artists work closely with you or your event planner to design a photo template that captures the essence of your event. #LGCHRISTMASISHERE easily won this category with a super creative integration of LG G4's Screen into the design.
Some loved it; some hated it. But everyone had something to say. Two girls on Prom night decided they wanted to "break the internet" using the photo booth social media sharing stations and they did just that. This photo booth moment by far got the most social media engagement across Facebook and Instagram.
One aspect that's really intimate about the PhotoGenic wedding experience is the collaboration with the couple to create a slogan that captures the essence of their marriage. Many classic slogans have been created, but the simplicity of Lope & Tobi's "forever and a day" took this category.
See Sisi Yemmie's Photo Booth Experience.
Many photo booth moments are wacky, crazy and fun. Something about PhotoGenic brings out the best in people. But there was this particular pair at Bunmi & Teni's wedding that got everyone laughing all day. The wackiest pose goes to them.

Side eyes at the comments above — i then saw "Sponsored post" and it made sense.
Lovely pics but i personally think the quality of some of the pictures could be better.
I am usually very picky even with the people I use for my events, so the fact that I always use photogenic says a lot. I totally recommend them.
The Photogenic Green Screen is so much fun. I've been to a couple parties and weddings where they repped big time. You ain't doing it big in Lagos if PhotoGenic no dey your party. No lie.
Sigh…okay I love the photo booths too and I think the pics are fun and creative.
But all you commenters above, do you have to make it sooooooooooooooooooo obvious that you are somehow affiliated to the brand? The praise and worship, na wa!
Hey, I am planning a frozen themed party for my 5 yrs old daughter next month. …can you guys do green screen with frozen characters? Please let me know.
Hmmm. Interesting. Especially the Fairie thing. Do you guys do events outside Lagos?
Hmmmm. Seems photogenic is well known. What difference is there in "photogenic" and other photobooth companies in nigeria? Why should i want to get the "photogenic" services?
Hmmm. Nice comments, but what is the difference in photogenic and the other photobooth companies in Nigeria? Why should I choose to get the 'photogenic photobooth' services?

Contacted a local PCA member with a Durametric, and cleared the airbag fault code. Took longer to setup, establish a connection with the car, and startup the software than to clear the code.
I managed to remove the screw by getting a thin flathead under the screw head. Turning it while applying outward pressure did nothing, so I pried it out until I could get pliers on it, and pulled right out. Thanks to the awesome collective knowledge of the Porsche community!
Hello, I recently bought a 2002 Porsche 911 C2. Battery was recently disconnected to do some work, and now I am prompted for the radio code. The factory head unit is a CR-220, Type 4362. Serial number is 15003039. Thanks in advance!

Calif. lawmaker lauds final WOTUS repeal
Ag committee member says move is welcome news for farmers, ranchers, foresters, landowners
U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif., is cheering Thursday's move by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to repeal the 2015 Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule and replace it with a new rule by the end of the year that promises more certainty for landowners and farmers across the nation.
"WOTUS was one of the most harmful and overreaching rules implemented by the Obama Administration, and its repeal is welcome news for farmers, ranchers, foresters, and landowners across the country," said LaMalfa, a member of the House Agriculture Committee.
Related: EPA repeals WOTUS rule
"This rule meant treating a puddle on private property the same as it treats the Mississippi River," he said. "With this rule repealed, states, landowners, and businesses will have far more certainty when it comes to managing their land, water, and even planting a crop under the Clean Water Act. I thank the Trump administration for following through with the repeal of this dangerous rule, and I look forward to the implementation of a new one that actually works."
LaMalfa has fought the WOTUS rule since its inception, sponsoring legislation to defund it while working with the Agriculture Committee and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to roll back the regulation.
Shortly after taking office, President Donald Trump issued an executive order requiring the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers to begin dismantling the rule, which was adopted under President Barack Obama.
In 2017, Congressman LaMalfa rallied the Chairmen of the Agriculture and Judiciary Committees to urge Trump to review the case of California farmer John Duarte, who, thanks to the WOTUS rule, is facing $2.8 million in penalties after being accused of deep-ripping a wetland in his field near Red Bluff, Calif., which is in LaMalfa's district.
LaMalfa, a rice farmer, represents California's First Congressional District, including Butte, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou and Tehama counties.

New Delhi, 2 September 2015– Nokia Networks is revealing a programmable 5G architecture that overcomes the rigidity of legacy networks. The architecture automatically and dynamically adapts radio access and core network resources to meet the needs of different services, traffic variations over time and location, and network topology, including transport. The quality of customer experiences will be substantially higher, while almost instant response and rock-solid connectivity promise to transform the business processes of industry sectors from manufacturing to automotive and healthcare. Operators will be able to offer network functions to any kind of industry under a Network-as-a-Service business model.
Building a separate system to meet the future requirements and use cases is not an option. The real opportunity is in developing 5G as a system of systems that can meet all requirements and provide a seamless service from the user's perspective. Nokia's architecture uses a 'system of systems' approach to integrate and align the many different and independent parts of a network to achieve higher performance and more functionality as compared to today's networks. Nearly all network functions will become software-defined, cognitive technologies will automatically orchestrate the network, and content and processing will be distributed across the network close to where they are needed.
Although 5G standardization has not started yet, this holistic concept provides a clear view on what the future 5G architecture needs to be. Many of the components are already up and running.
Network Slicing: Multiple independent and dedicated virtual sub-networks (network instances) are created within the same infrastructure to run services that have completely different requirements on latency, reliability, throughput and mobility.
Dynamic Experience Management (DEM): Automatic Quality of Experience (QoE) optimization of each application session provides superior customer experience even under high network load using up to 30 percent fewer resources. DEM can already be deployed in today's networks.
Service-determined connectivity: Conventionally, the network's available connectivity determines what services are possible. In 5G, devices and services are no longer tied to a single point to point IP connection. In fact, the connectivity path can be freely chosen according to actual service demand. By enabling a service to determine the connectivity, the required latency and reliability can be assured by the network.
Fast traffic forwarding: A distributed telco cloud structure, enabled by the Nokia AirFrame Data Center Solution*, will support a new generation of critical services in such sectors as automotive and industrial.
Mobility on demand: A wide range of mobility needs can be met, from stationary utility meters to high-speed trains. Typically, only 30 percent of users are mobile and do not need mobility support, providing an opportunity to use network resources more efficiently.
As an important part of Nokia's network slicing concept, a fully self-aware software defined transport network automatically adapts itself to changing service requirements and the needs of different slices and customer experience needs.
This is achieved by Self-Organizing Networks (SON) for transport solution in combination with a multivendor Software-Defined Networking (SDN) fabric control that acts across SDN domains. The network control does not need to talk to every SDN controller since a single Rest Application Programming Interface (API) is used.
Similarly, Nokia Networks is also introducing programmable APIs to the virtual core network elements to be able to adapt core network behavior in run time. This is a clear step forward as today's elements require hours or even days to be re-configured. As a result, the core network can adapt to dynamically changing needs such as the creation of new network slices or mobility profiles either immediately or on demand.

REAL MADRID captain Sergio Ramos tried to "rough up" Mohamed Salah in the Champions League final - but he did NOT deliberately injure the Liverpool star.
That is the opinion of former Liverpool and Wales striker Dean Saunders.
Ramos tangled with Salah midway through the first half of the clash on Saturday.
The Real Madrid defender fell on Salah and the Egyptian landed awkwardly, dislocating his shoulder in the process.
Many Liverpool fans believe Ramos purposely injured Salah but Saunders would not go that far.
"The biggest controversy we are going to have today is did Ramos mean to hurt Salah like he did?," he said on talkSPORT.
"There's lots of people irate about it, I don't think it was deliberate.
Fellow talkSPORT pundit Ally McCoist also refuted claims Ramos purposely injured Salah, despite his littered disciplinary record at Real Madrid.
"He did foul him and his disciplinary record isn't great," McCoist said.
"I think he's been sent off the best part of mid-20s, it might even be 27 times.

Pchła piaskowa (Tunga penetrans syn. Sarcopsylla penetrans syn. Pulex penetrans) – gatunek pchły z rodziny Hectopsyllidae. Spotykana w tropikalnych i subtropikalnych rejonach Ameryk i Afryki.

Zasięg występowania

Tunga penetrans spotykana jest w tropikalnych i subtropikalnych rejonach do Meksyku po Amerykę Południową oraz w Afryce. Występuje w obszarach piaszczystych, jak plaże oraz terenach zapylonych, jak np. stajnie i obory.

Charakterystyka
Pchła piaskowa mierzy około 1 mm długości, stanowiąc najmniejszy gatunek pcheł. Na miękkiej skórze porusza się z prędkością 1 mm/s, potrafi skoczyć 20 cm pionowo w górę. Najlepiej rozwija się w ciepłych piaszczystych glebach, szczególnie w okolicy chlewni, stajni lub innych skupisk zwierząt.

Rozwój

Zarówno samiec jak i samica żywią się krwią. Samica jednak przedostaje się do warstwy ziarnistej, w której osiada na około 2 tygodnie, wystawiając jedynie tylną część ciała. U żywiciela w miejscu przebywania pchły pojawia się guzkowata opuchlizna. Po złożeniu około 100 jaj w skórze powstaje lezja. Larwy żywią się znalezionymi na skórze nieużytecznymi materiałami, zaś samica ginie.

Zagrożenia dla człowieka
Skutkiem ataku samicy tego gatunku jest rozwój tungozy. Nieleczona może doprowadzić do wtórnych zakażeń bakteryjnych.

Early and accurate diagnosis is important for early intervention in Alport syndrome, regardless of gender.
Alport syndrome produces unique changes in the walls of the blood vessels of the glomeruli (kidney structures) that can be detected by performing electron microscopy on the kidney biopsy material. A kidney biopsy is usually performed as an outpatient procedure at a hospital and requires minor surgery to obtain a sample of kidney tissue. Kidney biopsies can also be tested for the presence or absence of the type IV collagen alpha-3, alpha-4 and alpha-5 chains (COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 genes). This information is helpful in confirming a suspected diagnosis of Alport syndrome and can usually determine the genetic form of the disease.
See Diagnostic Labs for a listing of labs that perform analysis of kidney biopsies for Alport syndrome.
A skin biopsy can be performed when XLAS (X-linked Alport syndrome) is suspected. The type IV collagen alpha-5 chain (COL4A5) is normally present in the skin and a biopsy of the skin can be tested for the presence or absence of this collagen chain. Approximately 80% of male patients and 60% of female patients with X-linked Alport syndrome will show abnormal staining for COL4A5 in the skin biopsy. This approach is especially useful if a kidney biopsy poses an excessive risk, such as in patients with kidney failure.
Because, the alpha-3 and alpha-4 chains are not present in the skin this test cannot be used to diagnose ARAS or ADAS.
See Diagnostic Labs for a listing of labs that perform analysis of skin biopsies for Alport syndrome.
Clinicians in many but not all parts of the world now have access to genetic testing for diagnosis of Alport syndrome through commercial laboratories or laboratories associated with medical institutions. Such testing offers high rates of diagnostic accuracy, particularly for X-linked Alport syndrome, although testing is available for autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant forms of the disease, too. Insurance coverage for genetic testing varies widely so patients are encouraged to seek the help of certified genetic counselors to determine their eligibility.
In most cases, genetic testing can confirm a diagnosis of Alport syndrome. Genetic testing is the only way to diagnose a female with no symptoms but with a family history of X-linked Alport syndrome. Genetic testing may also be useful when results of a skin or kidney biopsy are not conclusive.
In cases where a parent has a known genetic mutation, prenatal diagnosis or pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) may be options. Prenatal diagnosis is possible through chorionic villi sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis. During CVS, fetal tissue samples are removed and enzyme tests are performed on cultured tissue cells and/or white blood cells. During amniocentesis, a sample of the fluid that surrounds the developing fetus is removed and studied. PGD can be performed on embryos created through in vitro fertilization. PGD refers to testing an embryo to determine whether it has the same genetic abnormality as the parent. Families interested in such an option should seek the counsel of a certified genetics professional.
See Genetic Testing Labs for a listing of labs that perform testing for X-linked, autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant forms of Alport syndrome.

Why Weren't the Bushwhackers WWE Tag Champs?
– If it was a main event, [Vince] never used tag teams. Tag teams were more of attractions. [The Bushwhackers] were attractions. One time he put Ted [DiBiase] and IRS together to work against Hulk [Hogan] and [Brutus Beefcake]. The rest of the time, the tag teams were never sent to the main events.
– When you have strong characters, like Jim Duggan, he's a character, he had the flag, he was over, he didn't need the belt. To me, when I was doing booking, I put the belts on wrestlers who didn't have so much of a character, but the belt helped them get to that level. Great workers worked their way up to that level.
– I still get stopped and asked about that 1991 Royal Rumble, were I came to the ring, Earthquake grabbed me, threw me out the other side, [I] landed on my feet, and started marching back. People remember that sort of stuff. And when you look at that, look how many years ago that was!
– I feel like if I stopped moving around, my body is going to lock up. As long as I can move around on the mat, I'll keep doing it. I try to keep in shape.
– We got a lot of negative publicity. Who are these two goons? Most of the wrestling fans didn't know about the Sheepherders or the Kiwis. You know, we first came in 1972 to the USA. Before that, we wrestled all over, [including] far east Japan. We first came to North American in 1972. None of the fans today knew that.

That's fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
This is perfect timing. My new book "Rx-for-Healing – The Power of Color and Opposites" will need a vivid color cover. Thank you!
Indeed. Branding and colours, perhaps the most important choice for any company or organisation.


Hello crafters and Happy Plant a Flower Day! Did you know that today's "fun" holiday is a celebration of all things blooming and beautiful!? That's why I thought today's video would be perfect for not only Plant a Flower Day, but also for Spring and organization! I'll be showing you how I repurposed some mugs I had and gave them a fresh, new look with the help of alcohol inks!
You can apply alcohol inks to just about any surface; I've done this on glass before too and it works beautifully! The bold-colored mugs on the left use Flamingo, Coral, Salmon, Dandelion and Peach Bellini.
Like I had mentioned, these mugs would make great planters for the Spring flowers that will soon be blooming! Check out the cute mug above with the pretty orange and soft pink colors; I filled this with some Spring silk flowers to brighten my studio! I used Peach Bellini, Salmon, Shell Pink and a VERY tiny amount of Coral.
Or you can use them for supplies and crafting! Here's the turquoise, green and purple mug I made, which I often use as a water cup for painting. I used Sail Boat Blue, Turquoise, Citrus (very sparingly) and Amethyst.
You can seal these mugs if you'd like to make sure they are waterproof. I chose not to, as I have not had any issue with the mugs getting chipped and the alcohol ink wearing off (a couple of my mugs that I've done like this get handled frequently and hold supplies). If you do choose to seal the mugs, Ranger suggests using a water based sealant.
I hope you will check out the video below to see how I made these cute little mugs! I have a blast working with alcohol inks, as they can be used on so many surfaces other than paper!
Thanks for visiting with me today; I'll be back soon with a brand new Studio Monday video!
Wow! Your mugs looks fabulous – what a fun way to use alcohol inks!
the mugs are so pretty.
Those mugs look really cool.
Alcohol inks are so fun to play with – thanks for this great idea for using them to make these pretty mugs !
this is awesome, I tried!
Wow, this is a wonderful way to use alcohol inks. I have so many bottles of alcohol inks and have not used them for ages. I will get them out now.
Who knew that you could use alcohol inks like that. Amazing and thanks for sharing that with us. I really do need to purchase some of those alcohol inks.
Nice mugs, I have used alcohol inks on cups and saucers to use for plants, too. Love the idea!
Oh wow, these look fab!!
This looks like so much inky fun and they turn out so beautiful as well!!!!
Those mugs are so cute! I love alcohol inks.
Great idea. I can't wait to try this out and love finding new ways to use these inks. You rock.
Love the results of your repurposing! What great gifts these would make.
These are so cool Nina-Marie! Alcohol inks are fascinating on paper and I think they're even more neat on mugs. Thanks for showing us different things we can use our card making supplies on!
What a way to brighten up your work space!
What a wonderful idea & I love the results – so colorful!!
What a great idea! Thank you for the inspiration!
These mugs look awesome! So colourful and fun. Another creative way to use alcohol inks. Thanks for the inspiration!
LOVE LOVE LOVE those marbled mug!!!

Britons face rising borrowing costs as one in seven adults has at least one bill.
The Bank of England yesterday boosted with another rate hike – the third in a row. In another blow to households facing the crisis, Boris Johnson returns from Saudi Arabia empty-handed.

Households face rising borrowing costs, just as nearly eight million people have had to pay at least one essential bill.
Despite warnings from campaigners, the Bank of England yesterday boosted with another rate hike – the third in a row.
And in another blow to households facing the crisis, Boris Johnson return from Saudi Arabia empty hand Yesterday after a trip to the Gulf to beg for more oil production failed.
Most mortgage borrowers will not be affected by the base rate increase from 0.5% to 0.75% because they are doing fixed rate transactions but it will affect those with conditions change.
Interest rates are rising

Online broker Trussle says the increase could add £316 to the average annual mortgage bill and means the typical repayment for those affected has risen to £972 a year. since December.
Millions of long-term savers could benefit, but experts say banks are not under pressure to adopt the new rate.
The Bank of England insists increases are needed to try to cool soaring inflation, already at a 30-year high of 5.5% and forecast yesterday to hit 8% or higher in the coming months. the coming months.
It says Russiainvasion of Ukraine "It has led to even larger increases in the prices of energy and other commodities including food prices."
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak
Kate Bell, chief economist at TUC, said: "In the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, this is the last thing struggling families need. The Bank of England made the wrong call but the Government must not hide behind it".
The pressure is growing on the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak delayed the increase in National Insurance, announced a subsidy increase and provided assistance to households affected by the energy price hike in April.
Meanwhile, a study by the Money Advice Foundation found that 1 in 7 adults – or 7.9 million people – has been delayed with at least one bill.
"Millions of households are facing a cost of living crisis," said executive director Joanna Elson. The Prime Minister has the opportunity to change course and help relieve some of this pressure. "
Britons are also facing higher bills this year
Citizens Advice said around five million adults said they didn't have enough to cover the average £60-a-month energy bills in April.
But with warnings that average bills could rise by £145 a month from October, the charity says 14.5 million people may no longer be able to pay.
And after the Prime Minister's failed mission in Saudi Arabia, Tory MP Robert Halfon warned Britain was "moving towards a de facto shutdown" as parents "can't afford to send their children to school " and gas prices forcing car-dependent workers to stay home.
A Government spokesman said: "We recognize the pressures people are facing with the cost of living, which is why we have launched a broad package of support worth 21 billion pounds".
What Sunak has to do in Wednesday's Spring Statement
Professor Richard Murphy, Professor of Accounting Practice, University of Sheffield School of Management and Director of Tax Research UK
The country is currently facing the biggest financial crisis I have ever known.
Not because of Covid, or the national debt (which is well controlled), or war. That is due to a rise in energy and other prices that households across the UK are facing.
In 2021, the average household energy bill is just under £1,200. This April, that figure will rise to almost £2,000.
Worse, it is suggested that oil and gas shortages because of the war in Ukraine will increase this cost by £3,000 from October this year.
In addition, the cost of petrol and diesel is increasing rapidly and could hit £3 per liter in 2022 – double in price.
Food prices are also increasing due to wheat shortages because of the war in Ukraine.
Add all these factors together and the average UK household could see their monthly cost of living increase by £300 a month over the course of a year, which is an amount that most people would not expect. everyone can't have it. And, as my research has shown, much of this is due to massive corporate profiteering that is driving up food and energy prices to exploit the shortages that exist in the world today. .

So what can Sunak do?
1. Be bold next week. The tinkering won't do. Adjusting benefits isn't enough either, although reinstating the £20 universal credit cut would help. Too many households receiving little or no benefit will also be affected
difficult by this.
2. So Sunak must first declare a crisis and say that he will spend whatever it takes to prevent UK households from going bankrupt with their millions. That means spending whatever it takes, as we did during Covid, and generating money to pay for it using quantitative easing. None of this needs to pay taxes on anything, just as Covid did not.
3. He must then lower the price of road fuel to prevent them from driving up all other prices. That means cutting VAT and other taxes to keep these prices at 2021 levels. That's the price we need to pay to beat inflation.

4. Then he had to join the energy company. He must introduce a tax on excess profits. Energy companies must be made to pay.
5. And then he has to be really radical. We need subsidized household energy prices. That means the average household's energy price requirement must be brought back to 2021 levels. The government must subsidize to cut costs. If this were to be done then only larger homes would be required to pay market rates for any energy they consumed above average usage. This will encourage their energy-saving measures and align with the green agenda. That makes this fair, affordable and green.
If we do these things we have a good chance of balancing the finances of most UK households within the next year. Without these measures, the pain would plunge millions into debt, and worse. If Sunak cares about that then he has to act now.

Conscientious Objection and Undocumented Migrants in Spain
By Rosana Triviño
For decades, all undocumented migrants in Spain have had access health care, but that changed drastically on September 1, when a new law went into effect that provides coverage to undocumented migrant adults only in cases of emergency, pregnancy, or delivery.
The modifications introduced by this law imply a change of paradigm in the public health care system. It means that health care is no longer public, universal, and free for all inhabitants in the country; it is restricted to those insured and their dependents. In the Spanish context, this model is similar to the Francoist health insurance system, which left the most vulnerable populations to depend on charity care.
Although the right to health care has been declared a human right by the World Health Organization and many constitutions around the world, European countries have frequently restricted undocumented migrants' access to health care systems to discourage them from coming to their territories, especially in times of economic crisis.
However, studies (here, for example) show that health care is not among the motivations for migrants to choose a country. Research in Spain also shows that denying health care to undocumented migrants does not translate into a significant savings. There are two main reasons: there are relatively few undocumented migrants – fewer than 150,000 in Spain – and they rarely seek care because of their age, health status, and lack of time and information, as well as other factors including language and cultural barriers and fear of being discovered and expelled.
It has also been estimated that emergency care ends up being more expensive than the primary services denied by the new law. Additionally, the legal restriction reduces the effectiveness of general public health policies, since it inevitably affects part of the documented population. Therefore, the restrictions have to do more with ideology than with evidence.
From an ethical approach, the law has serious implications for practitioners. For this reason, the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (SEMFyC), the leading medical organization in primary health care, has encouraged physicians to be conscientious objectors to withdrawing health care from undocumented migrants who live currently in Spain. The society argues that the law violates several points of the medical code of ethics, including the physicians' duty not to abandon their patients and to watch over their patients' and community's well-being without discrimination. This initiative has been supported by the Spanish Medical Colleges Association, the organization in charge of regulating the Spanish medical profession. Several nongovernmental organizations and citizens platforms are coordinating similar actions.
It is worth reflecting on the appeal to conscientious objection in this issue. Conscientious objection in medicine is usually applied to metaphysical problems about the beginning or ending of life, but it might also be used as a means to change injustice in health care. In this regard, there are two significant features that should be considered.
First of all, in the migrants' case, conscientious objection implies a combative action that uses public resources. Although the SEMFyC states that conscientious objection against the new law must not be detrimental to documented patients in terms of time and resources, this could be difficult to avoid. That being said, it is important to note that typical conscientious objection sometimes involves public resources in Spain. This is the case with abortions, which, even in private clinics, are paid for by the government.
Second, typical cases of conscientious objection (i.e., abortion) could be legally protected because they do not involve an action but instead are arefusalto act. However, the conscientious objection in the migrants' issue could be considered apositive actof civil disobedience and in that case it would not be legal under Spanish law.
Strictly speaking, collective conscientious objection has been identified with civil disobedience, whose purpose is to change an unjust law. On the contrary, individual conscientious objection is aimed to preserve an individual's moral convictions and it does not pursue any legal, political, or religious objective. Nevertheless, the distinction is not entirely clear.
Physicians refusing to perform abortions seek to be consistent with their convictions, but it is difficult to deny any wider motivation. We can find professionals and organizations supporting massive individual conscientious objections against procedures that they and many others consider to be morally problematic. In the migrants' case, we can also find these two levels, the individual convictions and the social activism. This is why it has been said that conscientious objection is a kind of civil disobedience individually exercised and the reason to accept it applied to this peculiar case.
Especially in critical times, preserving fundamental values and rights constitutes the only way to protect vulnerable people and to avoid increasing inequality. Claims of conscience usually are associated with individual interests or convictions. However, they can also actively promote social justice.
Spain has come a long way to offer one of the world's best health care systems in terms of sustainability, quality, and equality in its access. The new law is a clear backward movement, since it endangers the universal access to care, guaranteed until now. The lack of evidence about real benefits, together with practitioners' ethical duties to their patients, led medical professionals to justify conscientious objection. It remains to be seen if this initiative reaches the desired success.

Putin Tells Megyn Kelly Russians Indicted For Election Meddling Could Have Been Working For Americans
By Aidan McLaughlinMar 9th, 2018, 9:18 am
NBC released yet another segment from Megyn Kelly's much-hyped exclusive interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin — in which she grilled him on the 13 Russians indicted for meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections.
Kelly appeared on the Today show Friday morning to discuss her sit-down with Putin in Russia following the Winter Olympics, and explained how she confronted the strongman over whether he ordered the meddling undertaken by his countrymen.
"Why would you allow an attack like this on the United States?" Kelly asked Putin.
"Why have you decided the Russian authorities, myself included, gave anybody permission to do this?"
"Nothing has changed since you and I talked last time in St. Petersburg. Some names have popped up," he continued. "So what? They could just as easily have been the names of some Americans who are sitting here and interfering in your own political process."
"But it wasn't Americans," Kelly shot back. "It was Russians."
Kelly then went for the jugular, asking if the Russian people should be concerned that a million dollar cyber warfare campaign targeting U.S. elections was happening in Putin's own hometown without his knowledge.
"The world is very large," Putin replied, before addressing the 13 Russians that were indicted for meddling.
"You mentioned a number of names, some individuals," he said. "And you're telling me that they're Russians."
"So what? Maybe being Russian, they're actually working for some kind of American company. Perhaps one of them used to work for one of the candidates. I have no idea. These are not my problems."
Kelly's full interview with Putin will air in an NBC News special, Confronting Putin, at 10 p.m. EST Friday night — she teased on Today that she managed to get in a question on Putin's shirtless photos, so that's obviously a must-watch.

India and Canada MoU, students of both countries gets new scope
Written by : SMTV24x7 | Wed, Apr 04, 2018, 11:45 PM
New Delhi, April 4: The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was apprised of an agreement between India and Canada to promote collaboration in research and innovation through talent mobility.
The core of the MoU, signed on February 21, is to ignite collaboration through talent mobility. It would enable Indian and Canadian researchers to undertake graduate level academic research mobility and cross-border industry-academic cooperation.
"Under the graduate level academic research mobility programme, both sides intend to support up to 110 Master's and PhD student researchers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields," it said.
The students from eligible universities in India would participate in 12 to 24 weeks' research with Canadian university research laboratories in a three-year period. The same number of researchers from Canadian universities will also participate for the same period in India.
