Grann, David, author.
Killers of the Flower Moon : the Osage murders and the birth of the FBI / David Grann.
New York : Doubleday, [2017]
In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. Her relatives were shot and poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more members of the tribe began to die under mysterious circumstances. In this last remnant of the Wild West -- where oilmen like J. P. Getty made their fortunes and where desperadoes like Al Spencer, the "Phantom Terror," roamed -- many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll climbed to more than twenty-four, the FBI took up the case. It was one of the organization's first major homicide investigations and the bureau badly bungled the case. In desperation, the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including one of the only American Indian agents in the bureau. The agents infiltrated the region, struggling to adopt the latest techniques of detection. Together with the Osage they began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.

New York Times Review
STARTUP, by Doree Shafrir. (Back Bay/Little, Brown, $15.99.) In her debut novel, Shafrir takes aim at the excesses of New York's tech world. Among its chief characters: the wealthy young executive of a mindfulness app; the subordinate he's sleeping with; and a reporter on the hunt for a juicy scoop. When their paths ultimately collide, the app goes viral - leaving behind a cautionary tale centered on gender, power and wealth. THE EVOLUTION OF BEAUTY: How Darwin's Forgotten Theory of Mate Choice Shapes the Animal World - and Us, by Richard 0. Prum. (Anchor, $17.) Prum revisits Darwin's second theory about sexual selection: that the aesthetic preferences of females have directed evolution. The book, one of the Book Review's 10 best of 2017, crafts a subversive argument about the role of ornamentation and pleasure. THE NIGHT OCEAN, by Paul La Farge. (Penguin, $17.) A multivoiced story centers on the writer H.P. Lovecraft, the (dubious) diary of his love life and his relationship one summer with a teenage acolyte. As our reviewer, D.T. Max, put it, the novel "emerges as an inexhaustible shaggy monster, part literary parody, part case study of the slipperiness of narrative and the seduction of a good story." HOW THE OTHER HALF BANKS: Exclusion, Exploitation, and the Threat to Democracy, by Mehrsa Baradaran. (Harvard University, $19.95.) The American banking industry has left behind a large proportion of the United States, forcing people who earn low wages to rely on payday lenders, check-cashing vendors and other types of predators. Baradaran, a law professor at the University of Georgia, calls for restoring a public banking option that would be accessible to low-income workers and families, and relieving the exorbitant cost of financial transactions. EDGAR & LUCY, by Victor Lodato. (Picador, $18.) Edgar, this story's plucky and appealing young protagonist, lives with his mother and grandmother, and his father's accidental death looms. "What makes this disquieting exploration of love and mourning bearable is that Lodato works from a place of compassion," our reviewer, Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, wrote. "On every page, Lodato's prose sings with a robust, openhearted wit." THE RULES DO NOT APPLY, by Ariel Levy. (Random House, $16.) Loss - of motherhood, of marriage, of a planned life - is at the core of this haunting memoir. Building on her 2013 essay describing a miscarriage while on assignment in Mongolia, Levy, a writer for The New Yorker, revisits her expectations for her life: that she could drive her own plotline, and duck the cultural scripts for her gender.
Library Journal Review
Relating the little-known story of the murders of members of the Osage tribe in 1920s Oklahoma, Grann (The Lost City of Z) relates how the Native Americans became wealthy via mineral rights and how the new and untested FBI became involved when many Osage were murdered. The actual number of murders will never be known. The book is presented by three different narrators: Ann Marie Lee, Will Patton, and Danny Campbell, who reads the author's voice in the final segment. Grann provides a view of early 20th-century attitudes about Native Americans and sheds light on this heretofore obscure story. Verdict Recommended for those interested in Native American history, civil rights, and the history of forensic science in this county.

Publishers Weekly Review
Three voice actors divvy up the task of narrating the audio edition of Grann's saga of the mysterious murders of at least two dozen members of the wealthy Oklahoman Osage Indian nation. Actor Lee reads the first third of the book, entitled "The Marked Woman," which largely focuses on the story of Mollie Burkhart Lee, an Osage woman whose family was killed off one by one in the early 1920s. Unfortunately her pacing is so slow that the grammatical structure of sentences is often lost, and she uses the same tone whether the subject is serene scenery or vicious murders. Luckily Patton picks up the pace when reading the middle portion of the book, entitled "The Evidence Man," which chronicles FBI agent Tom White's struggles to investigate the case. Campbell ultimately steals the show in the third section, "The Reporter," which follows the man who uncovered the plot to steal the oil-rich Osage territory. He reads in a voice as gruff as the man the chapter is based on, while clearly communicating the complex plot twist that ends this fascinating chunk of American history. A Doubleday hardcover.

School Library Journal Review
In 1920s Oklahoma, many members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation were dying untimely and suspicious deaths. The widespread crimes against the Osage and the inability to identify those responsible led to the establishment of what is now known as the FBI. Grann, author of the best-selling The Lost City of Z, makes a complex web of violence and deception easy to follow by keeping the focus on one Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, whose family members were murdered one by one. This gripping title uncovers a baffling level of corruption. The author points his investigative lens at the perpetrators of the murders, reveals cover-ups by authorities all the way up to the national level, and illustrates that the deception continued almost a century later. There are plenty of curriculum connections: Native American and Osage tribal history, economics, law enforcement, and journalism. A varied selection of photographs help to set the scene for readers. End pages include comprehensive source notes, citations, and a bibliography. VERDICT This thoroughly researched, suspenseful exposé will appeal to followers of true crime programs such as the podcast Serial and the Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer, as well as to fans of Louise Erdrich's The Round House.-Tara Kehoe, formerly at New Jersey State Library Talking Book and Braille Center, Trenton © Copyright 2017.

Welcome to Hell: The University of Oregon study suggests a real link between populations who believe this is real, and the crime rate.
Religions are thought to serve as protection against unethical behavior, but when it comes to committing crimes, specific religious beliefs are a deciding factor.
Researchers from the University of Oregon based their findings on 26 years of data involving 143,197 people in 67 countries.
The researchers point out there is a growing body of evidence suggesting supernatural punishment emerged as an effective cultural innovation to get people to act more ethically toward each other.
This pattern of results is consistent with theories highlighting the effectiveness of supernatural punishment—specifically—at regulating moral behavior and, as a result, group cooperation. These theories argue that human punishment is a highly effective deterrent to anti-social behavior within groups, but one that faces inevitable limitations of scale. Human monitors cannot see all transgressions, human judgers cannot adjudicate with perfect precision, and human punishers are neither able to apprehend every transgressor, nor escape the potential dangers of retribution. Divine punishment, on the other hand, has emerged as a cultural tool to overcome a number of those limitations. Unlike humans, divine punishers can be omniscient, omnipotent, infallible, and untouchable—and therefore able to effectively deter transgressors who may, for whatever reason, be undeterred by earthly policing systems.
Supernatural benevolence, however, is not theorized to be similarly effective at stabilizing cooperation within groups. Moreover, the evidence thus far suggests that though the more "positive" religious attributes may provide their own benefits, such as better self-esteem or health coping, their role in encouraging moral behavior may be, at best, minimal and, at worst, negative.
The strength of these effects is made clear by examining crime rates as a function of the degree to which a greater percent of people in a nation believe in heaven than in hell. Rates of belief in heaven are virtually always higher than rates of belief in hell; however, as the degree of that discrepancy increases (from roughly equal proportions of the population believing in the two concepts, to up to 40% more believing in heaven than in hell), so too do crime rates.
The present findings tie rates of belief at the societal level to national crime rates; the direct causal explanation for this effect is that individuals who believe in heaven and not hell take punishment less seriously and are thus more likely to commit crimes.
The Word of God is true and righteous altogether. Its counsel is perfect and its balance beyond reproach. Those who disregard it do it to their own hurt.


is a partnership with a partner who is a resident person at any time during the year.
A company that satisfies one of the three alternative tests described above is a resident company for the whole of the year. Test 1 and 2 cover partnerships and unincorporated associations of persons. Test 3 is an additional rule for partnerships and means that if one partner is a resident person, the partnership is a resident company even when all the other partners are non-residents.
If you require more information about income see Publication – Income Provisions of the Income Tax Act 2007.
When operating a business, you pay income tax on your net profit for the year, including any net gain on the disposal of a business asset. To work out your net profit, add up all the income that comes into your business, and take away all allowable business expenses.
Business income is income earned from the goods and services you sell (including invoices you've issued but have yet to receive payment for).
If you are in a partnership, you will usually be managing your own business and be responsible for all business income and debts.
An important point to remember is that you pay income tax on your net profits. The taxable income is the net profit that the business makes after deducting all allowable expenses and before any drawings are taken into account. Under the new Income Tax Act a partnership is treated as a company. So partners can pay themselves a wage. Any net profit/income left is treated as dividends and if paid by a resident company to resident partners is tax free.
If your business is a limited liability company and pays you a salary, you personally are taxed on your salary. The company must pay tax on its profit, which are the gross takings minus all the business expenses (including your salary). This is because any profits that are made belong to the company and are taxed at the company tax rate.
Both resident and non-residents companies pay 25% on their chargeable income.

The Amber Herd
Nottingham, England, United Kingdom
Band Alternative Rock
Share The Amber Herd's EPK!
"Review - The amber herd - this town EP"
The Amber Herd are one of the unsung heroes of the local Nottingham live music scene, not given the attention they deserve they continue to offer up their unique alternative music and growing their fan base.
Their latest offering is the five track EP This Town and with its release is evidence of a band is not content to simply sit on its laurels, the EP shows a band intent on pushing themselves more and more and in doing so offers up their best work to date.
The EP opens up with the very catchy, upbeat Bonfires, that much like its name crackles and fizzles throughout with punchy riffs and beats that should make this a hugely popular track.
Leaving Home turns things down a notch, a mellower offering than the opening track it offers lead singer Neil Beards a real chance to show his vocal abilities accompanied by gentle, rhythmic guitar that perfectly complements the vocals without ever threatening to overpower them.
Track three is Catching Time which instantly bounces to life, possibly my favourite track on the EP so far this is the kind of track that gets you bouncing in your seat but can also be enjoyed during a period of downtime.
Days Like These is up next and shows yet more of the talent that this band has to offer with a real up-tempo faster paced feel than the other tracks on the album, here is a track that will get people up on the dance floor and ready to party, heads bopping up and down along to the awesome beat that backs up the high tempo vocals.
The final track on the EP is the seven minute plus stomper that is Magnolia and here is where you realise just how good a band The Amber Herd are. There probably are not many bands who can make a track stretch over seven minutes and still manage to retain the listeners interest throughout but here this band do just that. This is perhaps the best thing The Amber Herd have ever done, and they have done some good stuff. Beautifully played and song the track is almost story like in its flow and rhythm. The wonderfully delivered lyrics are brilliantly broken up by mellow guitar solos, the two blending together seamlessly. Magnolia is a track you HAVE to hear.
All in all This Town EP is a cracking piece of work from a cracking band that opens with a bounce and ends with seven minutes of the best stuff the band have ever done. The Amber Herd are one of the best bands in Nottingham and if this EP is anything to go by they are just going to keep getting better. - Nottingham Live magazine
"The amber Herds Purple patch"
What's the best gig you have ever played?
NEIL: We've been fortunate to play some great shows, including our support to the Delays at a sold-out Bodega. I think the moment when it really all came together was in May at the Bearded Theory festival in Derby. We were thrilled to be chosen to play on a bill that included The Waterboys and Athlete and had a generous 50-minute set on the second stage. Everything went well and, as we neared the end of the set, we were very satisfied by the size of the crowd and their reaction. With two songs to go, the heavens opened outside and we finished our set to a packed tent of folk, both escaping the rain and we hope, discovering us.
How did the name The Amber Herd come about?
NEIL: Our band peddle a kind of trippy out-there vibe so we were looking for a name that referenced the 60s San Francisco hippy scene and the early 90s Glasgow Paisley Underground. The Amber Herd is the name of an award-winning shorthorn dairy farm between Matlock and Ashover and seemed to fit the bill. We have nothing to do with the Clarkson-loving US actress of a similar name.
You recently won a competition to play at the High Voltage Festival. How was it playing there?
NEIL: High Voltage was amazing. We won a national competition to find a band to play at this major London festival in the company of Slash, Judas Priest and Dream Theatre.
We hung around after the show and were pleased to meet rock glitterati including Glenn Hughes, Rudy Schenker, Pete Way and Ian Anderson, all of whom, doubtless, were wondering who on earth we were.
Your sound is described as alternative, psych rock. What is that exactly?
NEIL: Our sound is probably an amalgam of all of our favourite bands and we tend to have a fairly broad reach, through folk to rock to indie to shoegaze to psychedelia and on to metal.
Who is your sound influenced by?
NEIL: Every record we have all separately and collectively heard over the last 20 years and some we haven't. We've been compared to the Cure, Neil Young, the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Velvet Underground and James.
MARK: One of my favourite reviews said we sound like alternative music when it was still alternative – I was more than happy with that.
You are playing at this year's Headstock Festival, are you looking forward to it?
NEIL: We are hugely looking forward to Headstock and playing with one of our all-time favourite bands, Echo and the Bunnymen. There's nothing like playing at home, so we're really looking forward to playing our first Notts show since our EP launch in early May.
What can people expect if they come to see your set at Headstock?
NEIL: We'll be playing songs off each of our first two singles and the current EP and also playing a new song, Three Ring Circus, for the first time in Notts. This will be one side of our next single, due for release around Christmas. - Nottingham Evening Post
"Drowned in Nottingham #5"
City-based post-punk outfit The Amber Herd - and when we say "post punk", we mean like the masterclass of 1984 perfected so vehemently back in the day - released their excellent This Town EP earlier this summer. They also recorded a sombre cover of Sparklehorse's 'Painbirds' during sessions for the EP which you can hear below:- - Drowned in Sound
"The Amber Herd - This Town EP"
Being different from the crowd is possible, that is probably the first thing one would say when listening to The Amber Herd from Nottingham (UK). Neil Beards (Guitar and Vocals) and Paul Wentworth (Bass and Vocals) share the vocal part and are supported by Mark Lasbury (Drums), Ollie Powditch (Keyboard), Rob Fitzmaurice (Bass).
The voices of Liam (WHY LIAM??) and Paul could hardly be more different from each other and they are both more than impressive. The whole music takes you back somewhere to the 70s when the last Hippie-combos dissapeared and new artists like Bowie took over - and somewhere in between you could place The Amber Herd, with the only difference that they only exist since 2007.
Their EP "This Town" is a perfect compilation for getting to know the band better. Especially "Leaving Home", sung by Neil and "Catching Time" sung by Paul, offers you the chance to compare those powerful voices.
All in all the EP is a real masterpiece and if you want to make yourself comfortable on a summer evening, with a warm summer breeze and simply listening to music, The Amber Herd will be one of the best recommendations. - Static Magazine Germay
"Not Following The Herd"
IT'S an irony of the internet age that when the potential for choice is nearly limitless, everything suddenly seems to sound the same.
But that's not a problem facing Chesterfield/Notts band the Amber Herd.
Fresh from their appearance at the Bearded Theory Festival, the band have just released five-track EP This Town.
It kicks off with the summery lo-fi indie track Bonfires - an upbeat sound, that hides darker subject matter and a new wave snarl in the chorus.
Leaving Home conjures images of Joy Division with its guitar lines, while Catching Time hints at IRS-era REM.
Elsewhere there are subtle nods in the direction of The Cure, My Bloody Valentine and even U2 - albeit with a deeper, darker edge.
But while they may be named after one, this band certainly don't follow any herd.
Although there are elements which throw up reflections of other bands and records, theirs is a genuinely fresh sound.
That's in no small part to the mesmerising vocals on show here.
Neil Beards may not have the sweetest voice perhaps, but it's one full of the character and personalities that haunt the band's songs.
Their refusal to take the well-trodden path is further illustrated by final track Magnolia.
On a CD featuring moments of catchy indie pop, they round things off with a seven-and-a-half minute guitar/theremin wig out.
The Amber Herd prove here they won't be led by the nose by the diktats of fickle fashion.
They are an intriguing band with an eye for drama and melody. And that's no bull.

Q: Java compiler not able to infer type on generic chain As mentioned below (to remark it as I might have explained myself badly):

I want to understand the principle behind this issue so that I can apply that knowledge to the real problem.

ISSUE START
I am working in a system intended to be an abstract library to be used by many subsystems. The idea is to have an standard behaviour extensible by implementations.
My problem is that java compiler is not able to inferr method parameter type, even though it makes no sense since the boundaries are well set on every related generic class/method.
Below there is an example, the minimum example to reproduce the problem. I am aware it looks a bit silly in this example, but that is because of the simplification:
    public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Gen<? extends Base> gen = new HijaGen();
        gen.applyTo(Hija.EXAMPLE);
    }
    private interface Base {
        String getName();
    }
    private enum Hija implements Base {
        EXAMPLE;
        @Override
        public String getName() {
            return this.name();
        }
    }
    private interface Gen<T extends Base> {
        boolean applyTo(T base);
    }
    private static class HijaGen implements Gen<Hija> {
        @Override
        public boolean applyTo(Hija base) {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

Basically it says that applyTo expects a subclass of Base and Hija is not valid, which from my perspective makes no sense.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
This code is for a library, so that the solution could not be specifying the type since then it could not be extensible through particular implementations.
I am already aware that if I specify the generic type instead of throwing a type wildcard it will perfectly work. But my question is how is it possible that even though Hija subclasses Base, and method firm requires a subclass of Base it will never compile...
I want to understand the principle behind this issue so that I can apply that knowledge to the real problem.

A: A Gen<? extends Base> is a Gen of something which extends Base. It applies to some specific type of Base but we do not know which. In practice, this means you will never be able to call applyTo on a variable with type Gen<? extends Base>, except by passing null.
Change your code to
Gen<Hija> gen = new HijaGen();
gen.applyTo(Hija.EXAMPLE);

I suspect you'll probably say you can't do that, because your code is just an example, and the above is not possible in the real code. In which case you will need to give a better example

A: I think there is a similar problem explained in the docs here and the problem that they propose is to make a helper (or wrapper) to clarify the types. So I guess you can try adding this function:
private static <T extends Base> boolean applyTo(Gen<T> gen, T base){
    return gen.applyTo(base);
}

And change the main function as follows:
public static void main(String[] args) {
    boolean b = applyTo(new HijaGen(), Hija.EXAMPLE);
}

A: On the lines of what Carlos has mentioned, there is one more way to resolve this. It can be used if you are sure of the suppliers of the implementation of Gen<T>.
Here, instead of the helper to call applyTo(), we define a factory method to create the instance of the Gen implementation and cast it to Gen<Base>, which in my opinion is safe for all practical purposes. Note that the factory method get() need not be static. The rest of the code remains unchanged from your sample.
public static void main( String[] args ){
    Gen<Base> gen = (Gen<Base>) get();
    gen.applyTo( Hija.EXAMPLE );
}

static Gen<? extends Base> get(){
    /* Create the instance of the Gen interface implementation here. */
    return new HijaGen();
}

Explanation
Gen<? extends Base> expects to refer to an instance of an implementation of Gen that uses a type that is either Base or an sub-type of it. Since a "sub-type" can be from one of many possible hierarchies from Base downward (as shown in the picture below), it cannot be sure that the parameter passed to applyTo() method is of the same child hierarchy path and not just a 'relative' with the same ancestral parent Base. That is why it won't allow a call to applyTo() with its reference being of Gen<? extends Base> for a parameter of with reference as Base.
However, when the reference is Gen<Base>, it knows that applyTo() will accept any parameter that is a child type of Base. And hence, it stops worrying about type mismatch.
I have tried to show what I mean by different child hierarchy paths. It is like the case of a family tree.

Mun scorch plucky Ashe
Diarmuid Geraghty
BALLYMUN KICKHAMS 4-14
THOMAS ASHE 2-10
BALLYMUN KICKHAMS won a terrific game of football when overcoming Thomas Ashe at Páirc Ciceam on Sunday morning to send them to the top of the MFL 4 table.
Four goals, all during a second-half blitz, set the winners on their way to victory, and claimed their second win from two games, after they accounted for Castleknock two weeks ago.
The game was delicately poised entering the final 20 minutes, with Ashe leading at that point, only for the 'Mun to pull away towards the finish, with two of those goals coming in the final 10 minutes, which perhaps placed an unfair slant on the result.
Fionn Andrews, Jamie Doyle (two) and Kevin Kelly all found the net for Ballymun and that was always going to make life difficult for the visitors.
Andrews and Doyle in particular caused major problems for their opponents' rearguard.
Half-back Conor Kavanagh was a rampaging presence while David Bolger burst up the field from his corner-back berth to slot over two magnificent points.
Remarkably, they beat Castleknock by scoring the same 4-14 total two weeks ago, a statistic that their team mentor Gerry Staunton was very satisfied with. He said: "It is good scoring. We played Division Three last year and we went down to Four this year.
"We thought we might have been using a few from the under-16 team. But what we are trying to do, and what we have been doing, is using the lads at minor age.
"There were three under-16 lads today but we have only been using one up to this point.
"It was a good game and Thomas Ashe played very well. It took us a while to get going but it's a good committed squad."
For Thomas Ashe it was a disappointing outcome, their 2-10 total would be enough to win most matches, and they once again showed the fighting spirit that is required to succeed having beaten Ballyboden St Enda's by a point last time out.
A goal in each half from Scott Shire and Brian Shanahan, both of who excelled, gave them the impetus to push hard for a positive result.
There were other eye-catching showings from Gearóid Farrell, Gareth Hickey, Seán McKeon and Keith Fitzachery.
Their team manager Finbar Shanahan, however, is content with how things are going so far for the team that are an amalgamation of St Margaret's and Garristown.
"We have had a few good challenge matches and that was our first loss from about six games," he explained. "But I'm happy enough generally and the merger with Garristown is working out well.
"For one reason or another the last few weeks have been difficult but we can hopefully get back on track and have a good league, and see where we are after that."
Ballymun, meanwhile, can see this as another win to give their already sky-high morale another boost, with the All-Ireland senior club final against St Brigid's of Roscommon now only a matter of days away.
"It's fantastic," added Staunton. "The flags are up around the area and it looks fantastic. We are not getting carried away but we can't wait for it (the final)."

A Talk: The Resilience of China's Political System
March 25, 2019 Laurabeth Merritt
Lessons from China's Engagement with the West
a talk by Dr. Sungmin Cho
of the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies
Monday, April 8, 12pm
Moore Hall 319
(Tokioka Room)
In March 2018, Xi Jinping removed the term limits on his presidency of China. Many in the West took this as a sign of the failure of Western engagement. But evidence shows that China has been more open to Western programs that promote democracy than other authoritarian countries like Russia and Iran. Why?
In this talk, Dr. Sungmin Cho will examine how Chinese authorities have collaborated with Western organizations since the early 1990s to develop China's rule of law, village electoral system, and practices of good governance and civil society. He will explain the Chinese Communist Party's strategic motivation and its intended effects, and discuss the implications for the future of Chinese politics and US policy toward China. His counterintuitive findings contribute to scholarly discussions of democratization and authoritarian resilience in comparative politics.
Dr. Sungmin Cho is Associate Professor at the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies, specializing in the politics of China and North Korea. Originally from South Korea, he holds an M.A. in International Relations from Peking University and a Ph.D. in Government from Georgetown.

What's so scary about Huawei?
Smartphones, sanctions and death sentences: what's going on with Huawei?
Faculty member Eric Harwit of University of Hawaii at Manoa's Asian Studies department weighs in on Huawei Technologies with BBC News!
The tech giant has had a meteoric rise over the last ten years. It has overtaken Apple in the global smartphone market, and its equipment is in telecommunications systems in 170 countries worldwide. But Huawei now finds itself at the centre of a global scandal.
Its chief financial officer – the daughter of the company's founder – is under house arrest in Canada, accused of selling telecom equipment to Iran in contravention of US sanctions.
A week later, a US court charged the whole company with bank fraud, obstruction of justice and theft of technology from rival T-Mobile.
The company has been banned in New Zealand and Australia, and there are moves in the US to stop government employees from buying their products.
Critics say if it wins the contracts for the new 5G network being created globally, it could give the Chinese government control over everything from smart phones, to cars, to pacemakers in other countries.
So why has the success story soured? This week, we ask: what's so scary about Huawei?

Dr. Anna Stirr Wins national recognition
January 23, 2019 Laurabeth Merritt
Dr. Anna Stirr receives the Bernard S. Cohn Book Prize
Asian Studies faculty member Dr. Anna Stirr has been selected to receive the 2019 Bernard S. Cohn Book Prize from the Association for Asian Studies. The Cohn prize honors outstanding and innovative scholarship across discipline and country of specialization for a first single-authored monograph on South Asia. The award is in recognition of Dr. Stirr's book Singing Across Divides: Music and Intimate Politics in Nepal, published by Oxford University Press in 2017.
Dr. Stirr, who holds a PhD in Ethnomusicology from Columbia University, is Associate Professor in Asian Studies at UH-Manoa. Her book Singing Across Divides examines how forms of love and intimacy are linked to changing conceptions of political solidarity and forms of belonging, through the lens of Nepali dohori song. The book describes dohori: improvised, dialogic singing, in which a witty repartee of exchanges is based on poetic couplets with a fixed rhyme scheme, often backed by instrumental music and accompanying dance, performed between men and women, with a primary focus on romantic love. Dr. Stirr examines how dohori gets at the heart of tensions around regional, ethnic, caste, and gender differences within Nepal, as it promotes potentially destabilizing musical and poetic interactions, love, sex, and marriage across these social divides.
The Cohn Prize is named to honor the distinguished South Asia scholar, Bernard S. Cohn. Books nominated may address either contemporary or historical topics in any field of the humanities or the social sciences related to any of the countries of South Asia: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal in the spirit of Dr. Cohn's broad and critical scholarship on culture and history in South Asia. The prize will be presented at the AAS annual conference in Denver in March 2019.

Media > Television > The Top Choppers on Television
The Top Choppers on Television
By Stew Miller on July 8th, 2009
Well that's easy, you've got American Chopper, um, CHiPs, uh…help me out here. Oh? Not motorcycle choppers? I see. So we must be talking about guys wielding knives, right? Oh cool! Then we can have the Iron Chef guys, maybe Dexter… What? Still not right. Okay, I give, what are you referring to. Helicopters? Seriously? There were enough TV shows revolving around or pertaining to the use of helicopters to make a 'list' of them? Whatever you say, Mr. Crazy. There, I took the liberty of un-confusing the lot of you by asking likely the same questions you're all asking. And yes, I managed to scrape together quite the collection of shows where helicopters play major rolls. Sure, some a little less so than others. But for the most part, each of these past TV shows (nearly all 70's and 80's) were all about the Heli's, whirlybirds, Huey's, and choppers. Check 'em out!
Air America (1998-1999)
Rio and Wiley: Two undercover agents operating all hush-hush for Latin America's secret flying division, 'Air America'. Working directly with the State Department, they fly around righting wrongs, helping those in need, and doing good deeds. Oh, and Rio is the calm, cool, and collected Lorenzo Lamas. Now that's show!
Strangely, this is the only one on the list I couldn't drum up an opening theme for, so this was the best I could do.
Magnum P.I. (1980-1988)
Dogs named Zeus and Apollo, an Ex-British Army Sergeant Major named Higgins, T.C., Rick, a kick-ass Ferrari, and a ton of smokin' hot chicks? Damn, was there any room for a Helicopter? Yep, and for Captain Mustache: Tom Selleck, too!
Aside from the fact that helicopters made frequent appearances on the show, this is all you need to know: "(Ten years ago / In 1972), a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… The A-Team."
M*A*S*H (1972-1983)
An allegory about the Vietnam War as much as it was about the Korean Conflict, M*A*S*H was based on many true exploits of military surgeons and doctors told to the crew during production of both the '68 movie classic and this popular TV series. The finale in '83 is largely considered to be the most watched TV program in American History. Also there were choppers!
Automan (1983-1984)
Take the basic idea behind TRON, flip it a bit, add a healthy dose of Dezi Arnaz, Jr. and 'holographic cop' Chuck Wagner, who, as a computer program, can assume the form of anything from a car to a helicopter, and you've got what really ought to have been a hit. It wasn't.
Budgie The Little Helicopter (1993-1995)
Airing in both Britain and America, Budgie was a relatively popular animated children's show about a helpful little blue Helli with a yellow cap who flew around doing all sorts of cartoonish things. Believe it or not, the show was based on a book series by the Duchess of York herself, Sarah Ferguson.
Chopper Squad (1978-1979)
This show aired only on Australian TV for a brief time and the series was based around the work of a helicopter rescue team operating on Dee Why Beach in Sydney. An un-aired pilot was made in 1976, followed by a series of 26 episodes airing between 1978 and 1979. Helicopters aplenty!
Chopper One (1974)
Starring Jim McCullen, Dirk (The A-Team) Benedict, and Ted Hartley, the short-lived TV show focused mainly on a chopper pilot and the co-pilot/observer adventuring through the city in their Police Helicopter. Excitement personified. Hey, they can't all be gold.
240 Robert (1979-1981)
Created by the genius behind CHiPs, Rick Rosner, 240 Robert -starring Mark Harmon- portrayed the adventures of a three-person squad who worked for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Emergency Services Detail. They often acquired the assistance of several Police vehicles, including a pretty sweet Huey.
Blue Thunder (1984)
Though it only ran for one season and fed heavily on re-used stock footage from the 1983 film of the same name, Blue Thunder has become one of two shows in the TV pantheon that most folks think of when they think Helicopters. It starred James Farentino, Dana Carvey, Dick Butkus, and Bubba Smith… oh, and a slick Aérospatiale Gazelle helicopter. And still with all of that, it lasted one season. Sad really.
Airwolf (1984-1987)
First of all, the chief character/hero is one Stringfellow Hawke (Jan-Michael Vincent). That alone ought to sell the hell out of this show. No? Okay, I'll toss in Ernest Borgnine as Dominic Santini and a Bell 222 Stealth Helicopter built by the hidden CIA branch, the FIRM! Now you're sold. This was perhaps the most bad-ass TV helicopter of all time. Also a sweet theme.

The Key to Incredibly Effective Abandoned-Cart Reminders
Want to dramatically improve the effectiveness of the abandoned-cart reminders for your ecommerce store? Rethink where you send them.
If you're like many ecommerce merchants, you send abandoned-cart reminder emails to bring back shoppers who didn't convert. But what do you do when those reminders aren't performing? Tweak the copy, add new images, send them more frequently or at different times?
If you're struggling to make adjustments that actually move the needle, we recommend approaching the problem from a different angle.
Cart reminders work: You just might have to change where you send them to get the best results.
The 2.52 billion-person shift
97% of Americans send text messages at least once a day. Already in 2015, the top four messaging platforms had more users than the top four social media platforms. Mobile messaging apps now have 2.52 billion users monthly. That's 87.1% of smartphone owners. We're in the middle of a major shift in how people communicate online. To remain competitive and maximize conversions, your business has to keep up with this trend.
Send cart reminders (and other content) from your business on messaging platforms or via SMS, and you can catch users in a different state of mind. They're already there chatting with friends and family about topics that are important to them. So if your reminders can:
match the same tone: conversational, friendly, helpful, and personalized, and not annoying or overtly sales-y
allow users to reply and be part of a dialogue…
…they're likely to listen and engage. Sending reminders via a messaging app or SMS changes the context from, You forgot to give us your money! to How can we help you find the right product for your needs? Let's talk.
The case for reminders via Facebook Messenger
Business-to-consumer communication has always been one-sided. Shift to messaging apps and turn it into a helpful conversation instead of a demand. Consumers are more receptive to your content this way, and the proof is in the numbers.
Send abandoned-cart reminders via Facebook Messenger, for example, and you can expect 80% open rates on average compared to email's 20%, and 35% click-through rates compared to email's 2%.
Email reminders still have their place, but the conversational marketing trend is growing too fast to ignore. Add cart reminders sent via apps like Messenger to your existing strategy, and you'll see your conversions rise.
How Messenger reminders work
The process is essentially the same as if you were to send abandoned-cart reminders via email. There are just two key differences when you send them via Messenger with Chatfuel's plugin:
Instead of using a pop-up on your website to capture a user's email address, you'll use one to have them agree to be contacted by you via Messenger.
Then, of course, they'll receive the reminders in Messenger too, instead of email. It's the key factor that'll make all the difference in maximizing your shopping-cart conversions.
Set up Messenger reminders in three clicks
The best news is that adding Messenger cart reminders to your strategy couldn't be easier to do. You can set it up for your Shopify store in three clicks.
First, log into Chatfuel, navigate to the Grow tab, and find the Cart Reminders plugin. Then:
Link your store. Enter the URL of your Shopify store, then hit Connect.
Design your opt-in message. Remember the website pop-up we mentioned, where users will agree to receive messages from you? All you have to do is customize its headline and main text, and choose from a number of pre-set button options.
It's easy to customize the simple opt-in pop-up for your store's website. Once a user clicks, they'll be reachable by your bot, and will be able to receive abandoned-cart reminders.
3. Create your reminders. You can send users anywhere from two to five cart reminders with this plugin. Simply choose when you want them to be sent, write the messages, and decide whether you want the cart items to show up with images or without. Consider including a discount code too to incentivize a purchase.
You can customize your cart reminders in minutes.
If you want, you can also add a button that leads to a block in your Chatfuel bot. You can use them to lead those who are undecided about their purchase to your FAQs, or to a live chat with a human agent. It's a great way to remove any last barriers to purchase (in the form of questions, concerns, or other issues) so the user will follow through and buy.
Once you've set up the plugin, head to Growth Tools in Chatfuel. There, you'll be able to see exactly how much revenue this plugin has earned you!
In Chatfuel, it's easy to see exactly how much revenue the Cart Reminders plugin has helped you recover.
Next: Getting repeat business via Messenger
Bonus: Not only can messages from a Chatfuel bot help you make the sale, but they can encourage repeat business, too. After a customer makes a purchase with you, your bot can message them to:
Gather customer feedback. Your bot can ask the customer to rate their experience with you from one to five stars. First, you'll get useful feedback to improve. Second, you'll show customers that you're committed to their satisfaction.
Collect user-generated content. Ask users to send photos, videos, or testimonials about the product they bought. They can submit these easily through Messenger. You can then use this content as social proof in future campaigns, and the users feel like an important part of your brand's community.
Announce future sales, deals, or new products. Once a user has opted-in to receiving messages from your bot, they're a subscriber. That means you can reach them via Sponsored Message at any time in the future. Use this feature to send them special sales or deal notifications, or give them a sneak-peek at new products—all to reward them for being a loyal customer.
The case for reminders via SMS
While reminders via Messenger are proven to be highly effective, there are definitely other options worth exploring, too. Your customers are unique, so it's important to test different types of abandoned-cart reminders through different channels to see what they respond to best.
66% of consumers prefer messaging to reach or be reached by brands—and this includes SMS texts as well as messaging apps. With the average American checking their phone 45 times a day, SMS is another viable channel for cart reminders.
Just like with Messenger, people are used to exchanging texts with family and friends. When your brand appears in their list of messages, starting a conversation about their cart and their needs, they're likely to engage. In fact, SMS messages have an impressive 99% open rate, and a 45% response rate.
Impressive statistics for customer messaging via SMS
Activating abandoned-cart reminders via SMS
SMSBump is an SMS marketing app that will let you automate all notifications and marketing processes in your store. It's fully TCPA and GDPR compliant, and you can use it to create text campaigns and track their results in seconds.
The strongest feature of SMSBump is its abandoned-cart automation. Use it to send text-message reminders to prospects after they abandon their cart. Your messages can also include a picture of the items they left behind, so they get a visual nudge to complete the purchase.
SMSBump allows you to send personalized abandoned-cart reminders to shoppers via text message.
The general process is the similar to Messenger reminders:
The user opts in. A site visitor can opt in to receive text messages from you at checkout, or via pop-up forms and floating buttons. They can also subscribe through a link shared via email or on social media.
Activate abandoned-cart reminders. Then, you can set up one or several SMS abandoned-cart reminders to send automatically. Using two in a row—one after five minutes and another after an hour—has been shown to work best.
Compose your message. Add a picture of the items left in the cart and some snappy copy. Remember, SMS messages are designed to be concise. A text of around 200 characters will convert best.
Provide an incentive. Don't forget to incentivize prospects to complete their order. 63% of digital shoppersabandon their carts because the shipping costs are too high, so consider offering free shipping. A small discount on their purchase can also go a long way.
Providing customer care via SMS
You can also use text messaging to show customers you care, and bring them back to buy again. With SMSBump, you can send messages:
With order updates. A quick, automatic text letting the customer know you received their order gives them piece of mind and keeps them in the loop.
Asking for feedback. Customer ratings of your shopping experience will help you know where to improve. Plus, using that input can help promote brand loyalty. 97% of consumers are more likely to be loyal to a company that implements their feedback.
Offering future discounts. To thank the customer for buying, you can follow up with a later text that offers a discount code for their next purchase.
Notifying users about new products. You also set up a Product Created automation, which will alert your subscribers whenever you create a new product. Keep them in the know and share new items they might like, making them feel valued and informed.
You can send discounts and new product alerts to customers via SMS after they've made a purchase with you.

Coordinators for Valuing Nature Programme appointed
Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) have appointed a multi-disciplinary team to coordinate the Valuing Nature Programme
The five year, abour £6·5m Programme is funded by NERC, Economic & Social Sciences Research Council (ESRC), Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). It aims to better understand and represent the complexities of the natural environment in valuation analyses and to consider the wider societal and cultural value of ecosystem services.
The Coordination Team's role is to focus on developing a genuinely inter-disciplinary research community capable of working across the natural, biological and social sciences, and arts and humanities. The team will further develop the existing Valuing Nature Network - external link which already has over 1,300 members, and will provide opportunities for engagement between researchers, policy makers, businesses and practitioners.
Professor Rosie Hails of the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology is leading the team which also comprises Exeter and Oxford Universities, the Economics of the Environment Consultancy (EFTEC), the Countryscape creative communications agency and Guy Duke, an independent business consultant.
Professor Hails said:"Our focus will be to engage and create dialogue with partners across academia, business, government, and NGO sectors.
It is important to develop common understanding between a wide range of disciplines if we are to significantly advance the valuation of our natural environment, and inform government policy development and business decision-making so that an ecosystems approach can be put into practice."
Dr Rob Fish of the University of Exeter highlights that an important strand of the programme will be to place valuation approaches and analyses in their wider social and cultural context:
"In developing the programme we want to avoid the assumption that the valuing nature agenda is of concern only to natural science and economics. Our aim is to amplify the many and diverse contributions that the wider social sciences and arts and humanities can play in this debate to promote innovation, encourage critical debate and expand opportunities for novel learning across disciplines."
The team will be steered by an interdisciplinary Programme Advisory Group which will act as a route to engage with all of the relevant communities.
The team will run Town Meetings starting in early 2015 to support the launch of the Programme's main funding call, which aims specifically to increase understanding of the links between ecosystems and human health and well-being.

Welcome to PMC Biophysics, an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal devoted to biological physics in all its myriad forms. The journal has been launched in response to two significant trends in publishing and research.
Firstly, the open access movement is gathering strength. Pioneered by PMC Biophysics's parent company, BioMed Central, open access allows any reader immediate free access to published articles, encouraging the widest possible spread of knowledge. Archiving in multiple repositories ensures the long-term preservation of scientific research, and electronic publication enables the inclusion of multimedia content and the dissemination of raw data - allowing other researchers to exploit them. All these features serve to enhance the impact of published articles.
The strength and future success of open access are heralded by two major recent developments. The US National Institutes of Health, the largest public funding agency for biomedical research, now requires that all peer-reviewed journal articles arising from NIH funding be made open access within 12 months of publication. In addition, BioMed Central has recently been acquired by Springer, the world's second largest publisher of scientific journals.
The second trend concerns the multidisciplinary nature of research in biological physics.
Over the past 40 years, the field of biological physics has been shaped by forces from two directions. On one hand, the study of biological systems has become less and less descriptive and more and more quantitative. It has become more compelling to model biological systems and rationalise or predict behaviours from physical principles, such as in protein folding.
On the other hand, it has been discovered time and again that models and techniques developed for simple physical systems eventually become powerful tools for studying biological systems – Born's model for ion solvation and Kramers' rate theory for barrier crossing being classic examples. X-ray crystallography and computer simulations both started from humble beginnings, but are now used to study ever larger biomacromolecular complexes. The end result is that biological physics is now a thriving area for researchers from a wide variety of backgrounds, united by their interest in, or their work's application to, biological systems.
With the help of the distinguished members of our editorial board and our colleagues who willingly serve as reviewers, I hope that PMC Biophysics will become a powerful voice in biological physics, and your first choice when considering venues for publishing your work.
