The Wikimedia Foundation hosts many mailing lists, public and private, for communicating internally and externally. Flame wars and incivility occasionally occur; participants should help one another to keep the lists friendly and productive. In cases where this is not possible, moderation may be necessary.
3) Respect the privacy of others.
4) Understand others as individuals.
5) Keep quoting to a minimum.
Avoid outbursts – Discussions can get tense; but outbursts attacking others and their work are rarely helpful. Find constructive ways to criticize ideas, and ask for explanations, while remaining civil.
Be respectful – Even when others fail, try to respect all points of view. If you feel a friend crossed the line, let them know privately. If you feel someone you're arguing with crossed the line, let a neutral party know and ask them to step in.
Listen to objections – Avoid repeating behavior that others object to.
No personal attacks – Ad hominem attacks are not appropriate.
Past events – Past events are offenses from months or years ago. They should not be constantly brought up; efforts to change should be recognized. But many mailing lists are archived – another reason to be civil, as it is hard to escape the past.
Minor events – Minor issues such as sarcasm or jokes that offend some people, should be taken in stride. It is not easy being the target of a joke, but if list members can accept this, it should not be a constant source of tension. This can more often than not lighten the mood. Accidental offenses should be apologized for and considered different from an intent to offend.
Avoid escalation – Heated debates happen; people get frustrated or leave. It matters how we, as a community handle it. If you are offended, assume good faith of others, and don't hit back.
Speak out – If you are offended, by how you or someone else is treated, acknowledge it: if not for yourself then for others. Be specific, and be aware that there may be a cultural misunderstanding.
Personal communication – Any personal information about an individual that the individual chooses not to release, should not be shared on a list. This is the same as on-wiki behavior, where personal information can be removed or the offender warned or blocked. Off-list references and messages with private information should generally not be forwarded to a list without the agreement of the sender. This should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Mailing list cost – Following mailing lists involves a certain amount of time. Some discussions benefit from being public, or from being held on-wiki. Finding the right forum for a discussion is important. As others will try to respect privacy, public conversations will be much more easily shared and translated.
Cultural + language differences – The projects are something personal and important to every person who comments. English might not be the native language for a majority of them, and cultural norms for expressing frustration or sarcasm vary. Strong reactions may not be directed at anyone in particular. Contributors should get the benefit of the doubt when there is a language or cultural difference between participants in a discussion, but this should not be constant excuse. If you feel someone has gone over the limit, first let them know privately.
Persons are not organizations – Remember that staff, legal representatives or members are still individuals, not abstract entities; like all individuals, they also care passionately about the project and can get frustrated.
Community representatives – Similarly, even on lists where a few representative people from each community participate, remember that they are individuals, and treat them as such.
PLEASE DO NOT USE ALL CAPS, or lots of bold text: they signify someone shouting.
Make your message brief and to the point.
Quoting can be useful but only to the points you are raising. Remember all the list members already have the previous messages.
Send plain text only – if that is the norm for the list.... Many lists strip HTML before forwarding.
List messages are public and will be archived in numerous places.
Posting limits – These may be decided as a way to balance the voices heard on a list. While such a limit may not be strict, there should be an expectation to adhere to it. Limits should be decided on a case by case basis.

For an incredible evening with a difference head to the ancient city of Paestum in Southern Italy for a unique dinner combining world-class chefs at one most important archaeological parks in the world on 30 July.
A line-up of illustrious chefs, including Massimo Bottura, Heinz Reitbauer and Sven Elverfeld and Franco Pepe will all be in Capania cooking in the one-off fundraising dinner at the stunning archaeological park of Paestum in the UNESCO heritage site.
The site boasts Greek and Roman temples and ruins, largely yet unescavated, the funds raised will go towards the archaeological excavation of the "Priest House" which is also fittingly the place where sacrificial banquets are thought to have been offered to the gods on behalf of the priests.
Massimo Bottura, fresh from his win at the World's 50 Best Restaurants with Osteria Francescana of Modena with 3 Michelin stars will be joined by Heinz Reitbauer, chef of the Steirereck restaurant in Vienna, 2 Michelin stars and fourteenth among the World's 50 Best Restaurants and Sven Elverfeld of Aqua at The Ritz-Carlton Wolfsburg, 3 Michelin stars and among the best chefs in the world, again according to the 50 best.Franco Pepe, the world-renowned master pizza chef, first place in the ranking compiled by 50 Top Pizza completes the team.
The event is organised in collaboration with the Archeological Park of Paestum and the International Congress of Gourmet Cuisine LSDM whose organisers commented "We strongly believe ... that in a country such as Italy, the mixing of food and culture and their synergy are fundamental; and this event is proof of that. We hope that such initiatives are replicated elsewhere to promote and enhance the treasures of our land".
A few exclusive seats are available to thank those who will support the initiative with a donation of 800 euros per person.

Join us for our sixth annual Magic Lantern, where 21 artists and audience members witness together unedited, unrevealed work that neither audience nor the artists have seen before.
Magic Lantern is a one-night only event that plays on old kindred gatherings around the slide projector. This past spring, participants shot a roll of slide film and submitted their unprocessed rolls. In developing and mounting them we reveal the photos for the first time, night of.
Vulnerability is thus celebrated in a multitude of ways, where everyone confronts their own challenges, perfectionism, perception of themselves as creators, and attachment to control in a supportive, fabricated space. We find beauty in unexpected places, where unseen "mistakes" or errors would normally be omitted. This encourages the audience and artists to together reconsider aesthetics and subjectivity: appreciation may be found in work that would otherwise be excluded from public view.
By inviting folks from professional, emerging and non-artist backgrounds, we bridge an often visible gap in the artist community. We further fill this gap by inviting artists and audience members to experience the show together, and to take part in the courage and tenderness of this one-night gathering.

Christmas is the heart of a child's calendar. Besides the obvious presents and sweets, there is the deeper attraction: the Nativity story. In Jesus' birth, children hear themes tremendously empowering for the under-4-foot crowd: the supreme importance of a poor child, that kings and rulers both worshipped and feared a child, and that a young child could change the world. In Christmas, the theological imagination meets the child's imagination, both suggesting a world in which children matter, and make a difference.
A number of new children's books pick up this theme of the power that even the very young can exert. A trio of children's Christmas picture books show children transforming their families through the simple power of their good deeds. You may have thought the rich Rockefeller family purchased the first Christmas tree to illuminate New York City's landmark Rockefeller Center. They did not. Instead grateful workers who built Rockefeller Center raised the first tree there in 1931, in the midst of the Great Depression, to show their thankfulness for having jobs when a quarter of all U.S. workers were unemployed. The Carpenter's Gift, by David Rubel (Random House, ages 4-8) imagines that true story from the fictional point of view of Henry, a poor boy helping his struggling family by selling Christmas trees, who gave the construction workers the first Rockefeller Center tree. The workers returned Henry's kindness, helping his family build a home. Today Rockefeller Center's owners donate the wood from the tree to Habitat for Humanity International to help needy families build their homes, and the epilogue of the book discusses the work of Habitat for Humanity. Illustrated with pencil and pastels by Jim LaMarche that match the simple tale, this story of need and helping hands resonates in our difficult economic times.
In A Christmas Tree for Pyn, by Olivier Dunrea (Philomel/Penguin Putnam, ages 4-8), Pyn's gruff father tells her they cannot have a Christmas tree, but she is not discouraged. She wears down his resistance to having a tree, and to being called "Papa" after the death of Pyn's mother. Like many artist-written books, the text is not as engaging as the lovely art.
Similarly, Home for Christmas offers all the intricate Scandinavian winter scenes for which artist Jan Brett is known and loved (Putnam, ages 4-8). Rollo, the wild "Prodigal son" troll, returns home with a more selfless heart. The story doesn't sing, but the art will have you reaching for a cup of hot chocolate.
Jessie and Evan Treski take that theme to heart and try to stand up for themselves against a popular crook. What are kids to do when the richest boy in the neighborhood steals their hard-earned lemonade-stand money, buys the latest 3D video game system, and instead of becoming a pariah for his crime, becomes the most popular kid in the class as everyone wants to try out the newest tech toy? In Jacqueline Davies's The Lemonade Crime (Houghton Mifflin, ages 8-12), the aggrieved siblings take the law into their own hands and set up a trial by a jury of their fourth-grade peers. By turns funny and insightful, the brother and sister learn that courts do not always produce justice, but forgiveness and reconciliation, even among "frenemies," is always within reach.
Anyone who has ever observed a child's glee in pushing an elevator button will understand the appeal of Herve Tullet's ingenious Press Here (Chronicle, ages 4-8). Instead of telling children not to touch, Tullet tells them to go ahead, press the button, shake the book, etc. Without a single pop-up, lift-the-flap or computer chip, the old-school Press Here is fully interactive. Young readers delight when the turn of the page reveals that each of their actions "created" a correlating visual reaction in the illustrated dots. Our children call this "the magical book." Be prepared for multiple readings.
E-books take another approach to interactivity and agency. They can empower children with technology. Some provide a helpful aid for early literacy. But in the case of children's picture books, this also means many titles that cannot decide if they are books or video games. Do the electronic add-ons enhance or detract?
For chapter books and older readers, the choice of e-books or print books is simply one of price, convenience and personal preference for how you want your text served up. Do you want the cheaper and hardier print book, which can be dropped, brought to the sandy beach or wet pool, left in a hot car or accidentally slept on? Or is the price of pampering the fussier, expensive e-reader worthwhile, so you can easily carry an entire library with you wherever you go? The devices are addictive, and lifesavers for people for whom access to bookstores and libraries is difficult.
Many e-readers, like Barnes & Noble's Nooks, are fully functional touch-screen tablet computers at a fraction of the iPad's cost. This presents both opportunities and challenges. It opens up educational Web sites to children without tying up the family computer, but it also means parental surveillance of children's Web use on the e-reader. E-books are good news for publishers trying to compete for eyeballs and wallets with screens and the Internet.
But is what is good for publishers good for your children? E-readers are hailed as interactive, child-centric learning devices that can help younger children develop early reading readiness skills, experience the joy of independent reading through the "Read to you" setting and interest older children in reading, particularly reluctant readers and boys, because these groups may view electronic devices as "cooler" than books.
Do children's e-books live up to the hype? They can, but for picture books the buyer must truly beware. Only a fraction of children's books are available in e-book form, so choices are narrow; blockbuster series and celebrity authors get more attention. Most of the print books reviewed in the beginning of this article are not available as e-books. Children's picture books are both works of literature and works of art. Shrinking a 20-inch spread to a tiny 6-inch screen can produce sometimes illegible results. Zooming in to see the text better, you chop off the picture. It is a zero-sum conundrum. The genre is new and evolving, so there are few standards.
As fans of audio books know, the narrator may be a delightful addition to the book. Actor Andre Braugher's narration of President Obama's children's book, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters, is a wonderful counterpoint to Loren Long's optimistic artwork and the inspirational stories of Americans from George Washington to Helen Keller, César Chávez and Sitting Bull. Ray Charles's narration of the rhythmic alphabet book Chica Chica Boom Boom, by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault, with bright illustrations by Lois Ehlert, sets a toes-tapping beat to help children learn the alphabet. But you may also be dismayed by narrators whose voices sound like fingers on a blackboard. You may enjoy the Australian comedian Barry Humphries's character Dame Edna on late night television but find him grating as the narrator of the popular e-book series about the pig Olivia.
Dr. Seuss, pioneer of children's books, is ironically also a pioneer of e-books, despite his death 20 years ago. The first books to be made into e-books were Dr. Seuss books, used in library and school computers before Nooks and Kindles existed. Oceanhouse Media is a quality e-book and book app producer. They start with a focal point in the art so you can see something well before panning out to show as much of the whole artwork as possible on the small screen space. The words light up as the narrator reads them. When children touch the words in the story, the word is re-read to them. When children touch pictures on the screen, the corresponding word appears.
Dr. Seuss's new book, The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories (Random House, ages 6 and up) is a collection of seven stories released in magazines in the early 1950s, and now published for the first time in book form. In the title story, a duck finds a magic bippolo seed and is planning to wish for some needed food, when a tall cat (a precursor to the Cat in the Hat) tempts him to excess and loss. It is a parable about greed often repeated in Dr. Seuss's later works, and a message that resonates in our consumer culture and Occupy Wall Street days. As Dr. Seuss once quipped, "I'm subversive as hell." There are fewer pictures and less graceful rhymes than in his later works, but even Dr. Seuss's early work holds its own in both print and e-book format.
When done well, children's books and e-books can empower young readers by seeding the power of reading, and reminding even the most pint-sized readers of their worth and strength.

Abstract: The oxygen-transport function of blood in hyperoxia and acute disturbances of the acid-alkali condition was studied in "oxygenator–desoxygenator" as a model. It has been established that in acidosis there occurs decreased intensity of glycolysis in erythrocytes, accumulation of 2,3 diphosphoglyceric acid which decreases affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. It does not occur in alcalosis.

Oceanalpha Develops Commercial Shipping USV
oceanalpha Published: 12 Feb 2018 by Mike Ball
Oceanalpha has announced that, in conjunction with China Classification Society (CCS), Zhuhai Municipal Government and Wuhan University of Technology, it has launched a project to develop a small unmanned surface vessel (USV) for commercial shipping purposes, named Cloudborne.
Cloudborne will be a 500-ton vessel with a hull length of 50 meters, and the use of electric propulsion will give it a range of 500 nautical miles. Oceanalpha expects to launch by the end of 2018. Oceanalpha hopes that the new technology will lower the number of human-error incidents at sea, reduce labor costs and cut emissions by using batteries instead of gas.
Sun Feng, vice president of China Classification Society, introduced the characteristics of the project to the media at the Shanghai Maritime Exhibition. "It will be the first USV that is entirely domestically developed with Chinese technology and guided by the Bei dou navigation system," said Sun Feng.
Zhang Yunfei, founder of Oceanalpha, said in an interview that the small USV cargo ship was designed and constructed in full accordance with the unmanned cargo ship inspection specifications issued by China Classification Society and will mainly be used for inland navigation and island supply. "Over 70 to 80 percent of incidents that happened in the sea are man-made, and 40 percent of the entire running cost goes to human labor. Using USVs can largely reduce the cost and incidents. Also, the vehicle body is much lighter, which enables it to be powered by batteries instead of gas, efficiently cutting down the emission," Yunfei said.
In support of the R&D testing needs of small unmanned vessels, the project team, with the support of Zhuhai municipal government, will establish an industrial ecological platform based on the ship's pilotless operation. This will include an unmanned maritime testing ground, automatic mooring terminals, maritime communications and network security and other infrastructure to meet different types of unmanned testing needs and provide data and operational support for future unmanned shipping. Following Norway's world-first unmanned marine test site, the Zhuhai Wanshan Islands unmanned marine test site is the second in the world, and the first in Asia.
Oceanalpha has built a wireless broadband private network covering the Pearl River estuary of the Pearl River Delta. Combined with the public network, it forms a "long-range linkage platform" that connects many places so as to facilitate remote control of unmanned aerial vehicles.
In the future, with further progress of the project, the boat controllers from the Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau and Tai Wan areas will be able to control the vessel remotely from the unmanned navigation control center.

Winfield Urges Students to Strive for Greatness
Sharing Message: "You don't have to be perfect to be perfected"
Senator Gary Winfield (D-New Haven) Tuesday addressed a group of more than 100 young people at Capital Community College in Hartford, urging the students present to challenge themselves to work harder and actively strive toward creating the life they want.
Sen. Winfield was a featured speaker during the JAG CT 2016 Career Development Conference, which also included student sessions on public speaking, career planning, employability skills, problem solving and critical thinking.
During his speech to students, Winfield departed from the podium and eventually turned off his mic altogether—instead, rotating through the room so he could speak directly to the audience, which turned its focus squarely to him.
"I know what you're thinking, how you live, where you come from—because I am you," said Sen. Winfield, who spoke of his background, hometown community, and unconventional track to his Senatorial seat. "I'm here today because I didn't listen to all of the things people said I couldn't do. Try hard at what you do, because otherwise you won't know what's possible."
The Senator was frank with students, saying no one will take on challenges for them that they must take on themselves.
"Challenge yourself to do more, and don't miss the opportunities as they present themselves," said Sen. Winfield. "You will be the finished product of you, no matter what you do. It takes effort. You get things by trying—have you tried hard enough?"
"It's a process, and the kind of life you lead will be determined by how hard you strive for what you want. You don't have to be 'perfect' to be perfected," said Sen. Winfield.
JAG CT, which operates under the auspices of the Connecticut Department of Labor and is funded through a number of state agencies, is available to seniors at East Hartford High School, Manchester High School, New Britain High School and the New Britain High School Satellite Career Academy, and at Hillhouse High and New Horizons in New Haven.
Capital Community in College in Hartford touts itself as the most diverse college in New England; its enrollment including students of all backgrounds from 100 of Connecticut towns, as well as international students.

Coping with the Exponential Speed of Panic
Whether you think the coronavirus is a festering pandemic or an overhyped version of the common flu, there are many things we can learn from how the world is responding to the news of the coronavirus and what indicators may signal a permanent global shift.
While Warren Buffet said, "The market collapse in the fall of 2008 was much more scary, by far, than anything that's happened here," it's too early to understand the full impact and both short and long term impacts.
Several factors make this different than past crises including our heightened levels of awareness, the speed with which companies and countries are reacting to it, and the long term effects that will permanently change humanity.
The good news is that the speed used to form a panic, is the same speed with which it can be defused!
Please don't misread this as trying to brush off the dangers of our quickly escalating pandemic. Rather, the goal should be to find a way to recalibrate our response in a method that will cause the least amount of damage.
The Speed of Panic
As we move into a world where the accelerating speed of bad news can be measured in exponential adoption curves, and the speed of panic is even greater than the risk of coronavirus itself, we are faced with some very hard choices.
Everything is a balancing act. Is the risk of alarming people greater than the risk of not informing them? Is the risk of destroying the economy greater than the risk of being under-protected? How can anyone know if they've struck the right balance in protecting employees at the same time trying to protect the companies and jobs they're depending on?
Most crises in the past have followed a similar pattern. As our level of awareness grows, an accelerating problem leads to accelerating panic, and that leads to an accelerating financial crisis, followed by massive layoffs, and a huge number of bankruptcies. This is a lose, lose, lose, lose pattern that has been repeated time and again throughout history.
The truth is, this is on a scale unlike anything we've seen in the past. This is the first time we've had to deal with anything globally, simultaneously, and exponentially all at once. Our digital landscape has become far more pervasive, faster, and reliable than ever before, making it a particularly unique challenge to contend with.
While most feel the need to err on the side of caution, the unintended consequences of every drastic action is beginning to feel like we're all crew members aboard the ill-fated Titanic with no lifeboats.
Yes, our hearts go out for everyone affected by COVID-19 today, but it's still a long ways from being our biggest problem.
Biggest Death Risks (2016 data)*
It is highly unlikely that the risk of death from COVID-19 will even break into the top 15 leading causes of death this year:
1. Cardiovascular disease – 17.65 million
2. Diabetes, Blood and Endocrine disease- 10.4 million
3. Cancer – 9.6 million
4. Smoking – 7.1 million
5. Respiratory diseases and infections – 6.5 million
6. High blood pressure – 6.5 million
7. Air pollution – 4.9 million
8. Obesity – 4.7 million
9. Driving fatalities – 1.24 million
10. HIV/AIDS – 942,000
11. Suicide – 800,000
12. Influenza – 650,000
13. Malaria – 620,000
14. Homicides – 464,000
15. Medical errors – 440,000

Understanding Exponential Growth Curves
In the startup world, it's every entrepreneur's dream to unleash a super scaleable product and have it go viral. But there's little concern for the back end of the curve in the consumer products world.
However, in just two weeks people in Italy went from saying "It won't hit here!" to having the whole country locked down. Yes, this is an incredible teaching moment about what exponential change feels like, but this is different.
While it's a great case study in accelerating growth strategies, it's important to differentiate how the exponential curve of panic is far different from growth curves of the disease itself.
Every country in the world has now pushed the panic button.
Decisions affecting literally billions of people are being made in the heat of the moment with little to no understanding of how to find a way back to normal.
Shutting down the economic engines of society does little to solve the problem; it simply compounds the issues.
Any decision made without resistance will be done in haste, without consideration of consequences or repercussions.
Resistance is a powerful tool. It forces well-meaning people to refine their intentions, deliberate over possible outcomes, and be held accountable for shallow thinking and ill-suited arguments.
This period of time represents a significant turning point in human history, and understanding the full impact of everything that's changed will take months, maybe years.
Very likely we will be rethinking personal space in light of "social distancing." But it could work just the opposite, creating a stronger need for intimacy where we crave human touch and social contact.
We may see the proliferation of businesses helping you "pandemic-proof" your life.
With massive layoffs coming from drowning businesses, we may see coaches offering ways to "bankrupt your way to health and happiness."
Over the coming months, we'll be searching desperately to reengineer our strategies around a "new normal." Is extreme complexity the new simplicity? How does our changing need for personal space change the human interface? Where are the opportunities?
I'd love to hear your thoughts. What am I missing, overlooking, or not paying attention to? Take a few moments and let me know what you're thinking.

Author of "Epiphany Z – 8 Radical Visions for Transforming Your Future"


More than two years since the advent of the President Buhari administration, there are many questions that beg for answers. It is obvious that the lofty expectations and infectious excitement that met this government's inauguration have given way to anger and hopelessness. One of the challenges that this government recognised that it would face was the high expectation that heralded it. Understandably, after years of bad governance, unprecedented corruption and economic challenges, Nigerians hoped for a remarkable departure from the past practices of impunity and graft. Accepted that change doesn't come easy, what has happened over the last two years have not given Nigerians enough reasons to hope. Like they say in my village, Achi in Enugu State, it is from the picking of breadfruit that you recognise a child that is going to be greedy.
It is often said, and quite truthfully too, that it is easy to criticise government from the outside. Some of the challenges that this administration inherited may well be unprintable. So I recognise that government is dealing with a really difficult situation. In some sectors, it has tried but the enormity of the challenges makes it difficult to see these efforts. They also say, where I come from, that the goat works really had but its hairs don't allow people to see its sweat. Therefore, we must acknowledge that there have been enormous efforts by this government to move the country forward. Sadly, if anything, our lives are not better. This is a huge source of worry. Is this government's best not good enough or is government not doing its best?
I am convinced that Nigeria has everything it needs to overcome its problem. I am equally convinced this government has all it needs to transform Nigeria. That we don't see this trajectory of recovery is an indictment on this administration. We are witnessing a very troubling period in Nigeria. No time since the civil war have we seen the kind of tension and bitterness across divides in Nigeria that we are witnessing today. The stuttering economy is troubling. Inability of governments to pay salaries, especially at the state level, speaks to a dangerous condition that is now seeing public officers take their lives in worrying circumstances. Unemployment is not going down and there is a general feeling of frustration. The footprints of violence is expanding – from Plateau to Kaduna.
From the marauding herdsmen to a resurgence of Boko Haram, Nigerians are worried about their safety and security. These trends may have their origins from previous administrations but besides the Boko Haram insurgency, other trends have worsened under this administration, such as the worrying pattern of the government's reluctance to obey court orders. Nothing can justify the disrespect for the rule of law. The sense that there is lack of commitment to the anti-graft campaign that heralded the coming into power of this government is fast destroying its credentials of credibility. The leaked memo by the minister of state for petroleum on the alleged illegalities and opacity in the operations of the Nigeria National Petroleum Cooperation (NNPC) is terrifying and government's reluctance to push for any meaningful inquiry is as curious as it is disappointing.
Months after the report of the investigation into the allegation of fraud against the former secretary to the government of the federation, Babachir David Lawal, and the then director general of the National Intelligence Agency, Ayodele Oke, was submitted to the president, nothing has been heard of it. These trends undermine the narrative that government is working hard for Nigerians. It seems to suggest that there are different sets of rules in the country. The discordant tunes from government, especially the drama that has surrounded the nomination and Senate confirmation of the acting chair of the EFFC, suggests incoherence and absence of coordination in government. If the government is at war with itself, how can it function? While we have a duty to appreciate the challenges facing government, it will be difficult for government to justify or excuse some of the events outlined above.
The country requires some very serious steps to deal with these challenges and to restore the hope of citizens in their government. This Town Hall event provides an opportunity for reflection and frank conversation on how this government has fared. The interest here is to find a way to move the country forward, restore hope and improve the quality of lives. This government came into power on the heels of its exceptional manifesto, which painted a believable picture of a new Nigeria. Many Nigerians bought into that vision. The Buharimeter offers the country an opportunity to monitor the effort of government to be true to these promises. Governance and democracy do not end on election day. What happens after election is equally important, if not even more so. This forum provides an opportunity for us to be part of that democratic conversation.
These remarks were delivered at the Buharimeter Citizens' Town Hall hosted by the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) on Friday October 27 in Abuja.

The Way of a Warrior
Leave a Comment / Active Living / By Todd Hardy
"I have been many years training in the Way of Strategy, Ni Ten Ichi Ryu, and now I think I will explain it in writing for the first time.
"It is now during the first 10 days of the tenth month in the twentieth year of Kanei (1645). I have climbed mountain Iwato of Higo, in Kyushu, to pay homage to heaven, pray to Kwannon and kneel before Buddha.
"I am a warrior of Harima province, Shinmen Musashi No Kami Fujiwara No Genshin, age 60 years."
So begins Go Rin No Sho, A Book of Five Rings, written by Miyamoto Musashi.
Musashi was born in 1584 in a Japan struggling to recover from more than four centuries of internal strife. He was born in an upper-class structure that, like so many, have separated and marginalized people according to their background and circumstances.
Although fortunate to be born in the upper class, he suffered hardship at a young age through the loss of his mother and father.
An uncle, who was a priest, raised the boy.
He began studying Kendo (the way of the sword) at a very young age and had his first combat at the age of 13. He left home at the age of 16 to embark on a warrior's pilgrimage.
During his lifetime, he was engaged in more than six wars and had over 60 personal contests before the age of 29. He was the victor in all.
In the majority of his matches, he used wooden swords against the real blades of his opponents.
He developed the art of two swords instead of one.
Throughout his life, Musashi avoided comfort. His life was one of violence, yet tempered with his studies in arts and crafts. His masterpieces of ink painting are more valued than any other Japanese artist. He was a calligrapher and wood sculptor.
On a few occasions, he would carve his sword before an arranged fight. The most famous in which he carved an oar as he was rowed to an island to fight another famous swordsman.
He spent the last two years of his life in a cave, living in isolation and contemplation. It was during this period that he wrote A Book of Five Rings.
The book was never meant to be a thesis on strategy, but rather a guide for men who want to learn strategy. Even though it was written from a Kendo perspective, it also has been adopted around the world by businesses in their pursuit to gain an advantage over other competition.
Musashi devoted the majority of his life to the search for enlightenment by the way of the sword. He ultimately became the most famous swordsman in Japan.
"In the void is virtue, and no evil. Wisdom has existence, principle has existence, the way has existence and spirit is nothingness" (A Book of Five Rings).
The first technique is the last: the beginner and the master behave in the same way. Knowledge is full circle.

Sex, lies, and surveillance: Something's wrong with the war on sex trafficking
Turns out, sex censorship is a lucrative growth market.
Violet Blue, @violetblue
05.31.19 in Security
Illustration by Koren Shadmi
Silicon Valley's biggest companies have partnered with a single organization to fight sex trafficking -- one that maintains a data collection pipeline, is partnered with Palantir, and helps law enforcement profile and track sex workers without their consent. Major websites like Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and others are working with a nonprofit called Thorn ("digital defenders of children") and, perhaps predictably, its methods are dubious.
Thorn offers internet companies its content moderation tool "Safer," and for law enforcement, its separate data-mining and user-profiling tool "Spotlight." Both use data sources and AI to automate policing of sex content. Of Thorn's 31 nonprofit partners, 27 target adults and vow to abolish consensual sex work under the banner of saving children from sex trafficking.
"With our work on child sex trafficking, we recognize that this crime often presents itself within the broader field of sex work which does include consensual adult sex work," Thorn CEO Julie Cordua told Engadget via email. "We also realize that the reasons why people have sex for money are complex and varied. This is a complex field with a lot of nuance. Our programs are designed specifically to channel very limited resources on the recovery of children who are being exploited through sex trafficking, not on consenting adults."
Before Engadget reached Thorn for comment on this article, its website listed partnerships with data dealers, web scrapers and identity brokers including Connotate, Trusona, Trade Desk, Laxdaela, and 41st Parameter (Experian). When asked about Thorn's relationships with the now-removed partners, Cordua told Engadget that our queries reminded Thorn its "Partnerships" page "is outdated."
"Why don't you just work with Thorn?"
On May 23rd in Patreon's luxurious new San Francisco offices, everyone at the Sexual Content, & Child Protection conference was upset. It featured presentations by the Internet Watch Foundation on removing online child exploitation material, experts on sex offender registries, psychologists on pedophilia prevention, consensual sex work, and more.
One reason we were upset was the disturbing nature of what we were there to discuss: the facts and factors of child sexual exploitation online.
The other reason culminated within a presentation by attorney Cathy Gellis on Section 230, concerning online content and the law. Referencing the lawsuit between the US federal government's FOSTA law and human rights groups, things grew especially grave when Gellis described what's happened since the law's April 2018 passage and implementation online.
Like Thorn's nonprofit partners, FOSTA states consensual adult sex work is the same as child sex trafficking. When a woman has consensual sex for art or profit, her online speech about it is now interpreted as an internet crime on par with sex-trafficked children. You might say FOSTA doesn't "believe women." Its supporters don't. Major internet platforms, not known for believing the experiences of female users, rushed to implement FOSTA's restrictions.
Yet FOSTA has utterly backfired. According to a new paper from Fordham Law School, FOSTA's conflation of sex work with trafficking makes it "A Hostile Law with a Human Cost." It states:
Within one month of FOSTA's enactment, thirteen sex workers were reported missing, and two were dead from suicide. Sex workers operating independently faced a tremendous and immediate uptick in unwanted solicitation from individuals offering or demanding to traffic them. Numerous others were raped, assaulted, and rendered homeless or unable to feed their children. These egregious acts of violence and economic devastation are directly attributable to FOSTA's enactment.
Meanwhile, law enforcement professionals have complained that their investigations into sex-trafficking cases have been "blinded" -- they no longer have advertisements to subpoena, digital records to produce for prosecutors, and leads that can bring them to live crime scenes full of evidence, like hotel rooms.
Even the Department of Justice asked the House Judiciary Committee to change FOSTA's focus to traffickers, and not cases where "there is minimal federal interest," like consensual sex work. That request was ignored.
At the child protection conference Gellis said lawsuit plaintiffs contend FOSTA has made it harder to prosecute sex trafficking, in addition to erasing discussion about child sexual abuse prevention and silencing sex workers.
We know people are being harmed on all sides of FOSTA, Gellis said, "but everyone has been chased into the shadows." Victims cannot be found.
The room of experts, internet company employees, engineers, and policymakers was brought to a standstill.
The EFF of online child protection organizations
The child protection conference was organized by the Prostasia Foundation. Frankly, I was surprised press was even invited, as usually such meetings with internet companies are kept behind closed doors. It made more sense when the organizer, Prostasia's Executive Director Jeremy Malcolm, briefed me on the event's "Chatham House Rule" policy (though we could attribute quotes to presenters).
"Producers of legitimate 18+ sexual content are often stigmatized by association with producers of child pornography," Malcolm told Engadget via email, "and this meeting is largely about drawing a line between these two things and saying NO, they are different."
Malcolm added, "People like sex workers and adult entertainers are actually among the strongest opponents of child sexual abuse. But they are very seldom heard, because other child protection groups have a broader anti-porn and anti-sex work agenda, which silences minority voices -- especially LGBTQ+ people, kinky people, and sex workers."
Malcolm is a member of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group of the United Nations Internet Governance Forum, and was EFF's Senior Global Policy Analyst. He explained Prostasia's approach is a challenge to other digital child protection orgs. "We aim to essentially be an EFF-like watchdog of these groups," Malcolm said, "as well as having our own positive child abuse prevention agenda, based on science rather than stigma."
I appreciate "watching the watchers" more than most, but I wondered what Malcolm was talking about. Turns out, anti-trafficking organizations are a lucrative growth market riddled with charlatans who've fooled companies as big as Google for years, and gotten away with it.
In late 2011, Google made a corporate donation of $11.5 million to "ending modern day slavery." The three groups Google funded were International Justice Mission, Polaris Project, and Not for Sale.
International Justice Mission is a conservative evangelical Christian group. Polaris Project defines sex trafficking in its "Modern Slavery" paper as including escorts, strip club employees, cammers, and phone sex workers. Not for Sale has an Abolitionist Academy for "lectures and lessons to learn about many aspects of trafficking, such as investigations, aftercare, health care, and Biblical justice."
All three -- IJM, Polaris Project, and Not For Sale -- were utterly taken apart for using invented facts and falsified data in Truthout's 2015 Special Report: Money and Lies in Anti-Human Trafficking NGOs. Truthout wrote, "in the world of anti-trafficking organizations, money and lies are deeply – perhaps inextricably – tied. The false claims, forwarded as fact, are big. So is the money that's spent and received in the service of those claims – more than half a billion dollars in recent years. That we know of."
"When you work in this world, you know fabricated stories are used by everyone to get funding," Pierre Legros -- ex-husband of disgraced sex trafficking fraudster Somaly Mam -- told GlobalPost in 2015.
So Prostasia's interest in becoming an EFF watchdog for these exploitative nonprofits is quite warranted.
Yet, according to Malcolm, Prostasia's outreach to many major Internet platforms has been met with, "Well, why don't you just work with Thorn?"
Two and a half web scrapers
I first heard about Thorn when its founder, Ashton Kutcher, testified on behalf of Thorn in 2017 before the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations -- and press called out Kutcher and Thorn for using sex-trafficking numbers that didn't add up.
Prior to this, I'd been aware of Thorn's early incarnation as DNA Foundation, which got raked over the coals in 2011 for ... you guessed it: inaccurate data about sex trafficking stats. The organization claimed that "100,000 to 300,000 children are turning to prostitution every year." But a two-month investigation using law enforcement data showed that there were 8,263 arrests across America for underage sex work over the past ten years.
Anyway. Since then, Thorn pivoted into big data analytics.
Thorn doesn't usually like to talk about what its products Safer or Spotlight do. Its website says "Safer is a complete solution to help stop child sexual abuse material from spreading across your platform. Keeping you, your company and your users, safer."
Safer's whitepaper "Platform Protection 101" mentions its hashing, matching, reporting, and law enforcement modules. Thorn CEO Julie Cordua described Safer as a "content moderation platform" and told Engadget:
Safer is specifically designed to stop the spread of child sexual abuse material (CSAM, legally called child pornography) and does not intersect with our work on child sex trafficking ...
We offer a module so companies can hash their images (in their own environment so the data does not leave) and send hashes to our service to bounce against a list of hashes of confirmed child sexual abuse images/videos so they can detect if they are hosting illegal child pornography and then take action (e.g., removal, reporting). This type of detection helps stop the viral spread of this content, stops the re-victimization of the children in the material and can lead to the identification of children in these images/videos.
Spotlight is Thorn's other product. At present and according to publicly available information, Spotlight scrapes websites and forums; its handout says "Spotlight is built on a data archive of millions of records of escort ads and forum data collected from various websites."
Then, "Spotlight takes this massive amount of data and turns it into an asset for law enforcement." Additionally, "The tool allows an officer to search or filter escort ads based on phone number, email, key words, age, location."
War on sex, meet war on privacy
Let's be clear about a couple of things. FOSTA's blast radius is deadly, and increasing with time. If Safer operates exactly as Thorn claims, then that is good, crucial work worth supporting. But Spotlight is terrifying and practically purpose-made for abuse. And Thorn supported FOSTA.
Some of your tools specifically comb through ads on places like back page, Craigslist and Reddit. Wouldn't this law actually make your job harder?
— ColonelChestbridge (@Edible14) March 26, 2018
Perhaps we may better understand Thorn by whom it works with, features on its website, and its nonprofit partners. Because they really supported FOSTA.
Thorn's website features a post on trafficking recovery by Stephany Powell (Thorn partner Journey Out). On the topic of consensual sex work, Journey Out unequivocally states it is a false "perception" that sex work could be a woman's choice. Nearly all nonprofits Thorn partners with feel the same way, and say so. So much for believing women, or any daydreams about women being the ones who control their bodies.
The concern here is that Thorn and its partners like Polaris Project are working closely with companies like Palantir to nonconsensually track sex workers and everyone they come in contact with. Palantir Knows Everything About You describes how Palantir has so far escaped a ruling on whether or not its tools are illegal:
"Civil liberties lawyers are seeking a case to challenge the constitutionality of Palantir's use," Bloomberg wrote, "but prosecutors and immigration agents have been careful not to cite the software in evidentiary documents." Paromita Shah, associate director of the National Lawyers Guild's National Immigration Project told Bloomberg, "Palantir lives on that secrecy." And so, by extension, do Thorn and Polaris Project.
Thorn is now the primary go-to organization for major internet companies in "fighting sex trafficking" and child exploitation material. It has partnered with Google, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Snapchat, Pinterest, Imgur, IAC (Match, Tinder, OkCupid), and more companies that set social policy and wrangle untold reams of sensitive user data.
Engadget reached out to Google, Facebook, and Twitter about their relationships with Thorn and did not receive a response by time of publication. We asked all three internet giants if they used Thorn's Safer or Spotlight products and whether Thorn has advised them on content policies.
Facebook appears to have a special relationship with Thorn that the social media company affectionately calls "long-standing" and includes joint collaboration on hackathons. As some may recall, Facebook pushed FOSTA to appease critical lawmakers. Though anyone who worries about what Facebook and Thorn might do to their privacy knows that using any Facebook property is akin to swinging at a piñata packed with hand grenades.
Anyway. What have we learned today? Well, for one, the scorched-earth approach to sex censorship -- FOSTA -- is working about as well as the "war on drugs." For another, we should've known the war on sex was a lucrative growth market.
I do not mean to diminish the work of those who stop the spread of child abuse material. I just would like to strongly urge us not to indulge any more tricksters than we already have.

Philosophy for Public Health and Public Policy
Beyond the Neglectful State
Global in outlook, with a broad frame of reference
Provides an authoritative, novel and wide-ranging framework for public health ethics
First book length treatment of the right to public health
Groundbreaking examination of the implications of complex systems for ethics and philosophy
Written in non-technical language that is accessible to readers from a wide range of backgrounds
Public health has never been more important, or more controversial. What states do, and fail to do, makes a significant difference to the lives we are able to lead. Putting public health first would allow improvements to the health of everyone, especially the worst off. Yet many citizens actively oppose state interference to improve population health, complaining that it encroaches on personal liberty. How should policymakers reconcile these conflicting priorities?
This groundbreaking book argues that philosophy is not just useful, but vital, for thinking coherently about priorities in health policy and public policy. Novel, theoretically rigorous, yet practical, Philosophy for Public Health and Public Policy examines why it is so common for public policies to fail in practice to improve the problems they aim to solve, and what to do about this. It argues that a shift to complex systems approaches to policymaking is overdue. Philosophers need to become much more attuned to the contingency and messiness of real world policymaking, and to the ways in which philosophical tools such as thought experiments are frequently unreliable.
This book also provides an ethical framework for public health policy. It argues that public health is a right of citizens, alongside more familiar rights such as liberty and security. Public health should not be thought of merely as interference with the rights that individuals have, but as necessary to protect these rights. Chapters explore implications for resource allocation, personal responsibility, health equity, and the control of communicable disease.

It's our mission to detect problems before your users need to report them. But sometimes, we miss something, or you are looking for problems that our dashboard doesn't detect. Enter, Custom Issues.
Custom Issues are issues where you decide what is considered a problem or incident, e.g. a backup failure that you wish to be notified about. Once you find a problem, you can select to send the issue to us. The Panorama9 system will then handle notifications, help desk ticket creation and display the issue within the Dashboard. Unlike issues that P9 has built-in capacity to detect and manage, custom issues are very free form. This allows a high degree of customization while leaving the dull work of managing reporting and tickets to us.
The last three - hardware-capacity, hardware-failure and service-running - are categories where your custom issue will co-exist with "built-in P9 discovered issues" and will be listed under "Availability" -> "Servers" or "Computers". The top three are fully custom categories where you can put anything you like. These will appear as the issue type "Other".
To create a custom issue you can use the command-line utility "p9-issue" or the Panorama9 API.
The command line utility is included and automatically installed on machines with the Panorama9 agent.
The way to use the command-line utility is probably in a small script you write, e.g. check if the machine is able to communicate with a critical server. Once the communication fails the script invokes the command-line utility "p9-issue" to report the problem.
How to create and resolve a custom issue using the command-line utility "p9-issue" installed with the Panorama9 agent.
c:\Program Files (x86)\Panorama9>p9-issue.exe -type="custom-availability" -id="ping123" -text="Lost connection to Host" -desc="Machine can't connect to Server" -ttl="48"
If a custom issue isn't marked as resolved using the command-line utility "p9-issue" it will automatically be resolved once time-to-live expires. If the problem is still present you can tell Panorama9 that the custom issue shouldn't be resolved. Just refresh the custom issue by repeating the original command. That will cause the resolve time for the custom issue to be postponed until the new time-to-live expires - perhaps the biggest advantage is that help desk tickets will not be re-created and notifications not sent again.
If you've enabled help desk integration, then Panorama9 will not automatically close associated ticket when time-to-live expires. We only closes it when you run the "p9-issue" utility with the resolve option.
Custom issue can be disabled and not listed inside the Panorama9 dashboard under "Monitoring" -> "Availability" -> "Other monitors" -> "Custom issues". This will also disable any notifications.


NEW YORK (AP) - A man wrongfully convicted in the slaying of a rabbi in Brooklyn has won a $3 million settlement.
A lawyer for Jabbar Collins said a judge approved the settlement on Thursday.
Collins was exonerated in 2010 after serving 15 years in prison. His 1995 conviction was overturned based on new findings that witnesses gave false testimony and prosecutors withheld favorable evidence from the defense.
The $3 million settles an unjust conviction claim brought against the state.
There's a second case in federal court accusing authorities of violating Collins' civil rights that's scheduled to go to trial in the fall.

It was in 1903 that the writer printed his first paleogeographic map, and seven years later that the Geological Society of America did him the great honor of publishing fifty-two such maps of North America. Since then, as stratigraphers have brought to light new data, today from Alaska and tomorrow, perhaps, from Mexico, these maps have been altered to record the new finds, and their number has increased until they now represent one hundred and fifteen formations, beginning with the earliest Cambrian. It is, therefore, a pleasure for the writer to bring before the same Society that fourteen years ago listened to the initial presentation of these North American maps the broader conclusions that have crystallized out of their study during the intervening years.
The synthesis of my studies may be expressed in the words of another presidential address, namely, that of Le Conte, given in 1897.2 Nearly all . . .

Man 'Scarred for Life' After Alleged Assault by Dallas County Sheriff's Deputy
Jeremiah Ramos was allegedly stunned with a Taser while in the backseat of a squad car in October
By Jack Highberger • Published January 21, 2020 • Updated on January 21, 2020 at 5:29 pm
A man allegedly assaulted by a Dallas County Sheriff's deputy last year is telling his story for the first time.
Jeremiah Ramos, who remained in the Dallas County Jail on unrelated charges, said what happened on Oct. 7 has left him forever scarred.
"I'm going to have these scars for the rest of my life, this officer what he did to me, it's not right," Ramos said.
According to charging documents, sheriff's deputy Austin Palmer cuffed Ramos, who had outstanding warrants, and took him to a squad car. It's what happened inside the car that Dallas County Sheriff Marian Brown said led to Palmer's arrest.
"We are going to hold ourselves accountable," Brown said at a press conference last week.
Ramos said Palmer became upset with him when he asked why he was being arrested. Ramos said Palmer eventually pulled out his Taser and deployed it on Ramos, who was just feet away in the backseat.
"That's when he turns around and I don't know how many times he tased me, the detectives told me it looks like he tased me twice," Ramos said.

According to Ramos, he blacked out and when he woke up Palmer continued the assault.
"And he put it to my throat and said he'd tase me right there and then he put it to my privates," Ramos said.
Palmer is on paid administrative leave while internal affairs decides whether or not he should be fired. He faces two misdemeanor charges.
Ramos said he took responsibility for what he's done wrong, including his outstanding warrants, but said what Palmer did was unacceptable.
"I never harmed anyone, for this officer to harm me like he did because I'm scarred for life now and it's going to be awhile before I get over this," he said.

Q: URL redirection not working in Tomcat servlet I've installed a signed SSL certificate and can log in over HTTPS without any problems.  Now I'm trying to disable access via HTTP.  One idea is to just remove the port 80 connector from the server.xml file, but some users don't log in for months at a time, so I'd prefer something a bit more user friendly.  Following advice found on the web, I've tried changing the connector in the server.xml file to this:
<Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
           connectionTimeout="20000"
           compression="2048" compressableMimeType="text/"
           redirectPort="443" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>

and adding this to the web.xml file:
<security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
        <web-resource-name>Protected Context</web-resource-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <!-- auth-constraint goes here if you requre authentication -->
    <user-data-constraint>
        <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
    </user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>

When I try to access any of the web pages via HTTP, I get a "You don't belong here" message from the application over HTTP, not the web page I'm tying to access and not over HTTPS.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?  Thanks!
