Ben Thompson on the relationship between book publishers and Amazon:
I've worked with publishers, and here's the thing: Amazon is right. It's not that publishers don't add value,2 but rather that their economics are wholly incompatible with the reality of the Internet. If publishers are to have a future free of Amazon, that future will be as a service with upside directly tied to a book's success.
Or, Amazon becomes the publisher and legacy publishers either get swollowed up or run out of business entirely. My bet is on the former given Amazon's continuous moves into other markets. First it was books, then it was general retail, then web services, then ebooks, then ebook readers... you get the idea. Publishing is just the next step... or it was the last one because they've already started.

Pinterest Blocks Vaccination Searches in Move to Control the Conversation
Social-media company stops showing results on the topic as it looks to censor unsubstantiated health claims
Pinterest has blocked vaccine-related terms from its search, but users can still pin such content to their boards. Those posts can lead to antivaccine recommendations, as shown in screenshot above.

Pinterest has stopped returning results for searches related to vaccinations, a drastic step the social-media company said is aimed at curbing the spread of misinformation but one that demonstrates the power of tech companies to censor discussion of hot-button issues.
Most shared images on Pinterest relating to vaccination cautioned against it, contradicting established medical guidelines and research showing that vaccines are safe, Pinterest said. The image-searching platform tried to remove the antivaccination content, a Pinterest spokeswoman said, but has been unable to remove it completely.
Pinterest described the search ban—which the company hasn't previously publicly discussed but which went into effect late last year—as a temporary but necessary measure until it can develop better strategies to sift through what it calls "polluted" content. The company made a similar decision last year to block searches for dubious cancer therapies.
Users can still pin vaccine-related images to their online boards, which could lead to suggestions for similar content, but the posts no longer show up in searches. "It's better not to serve those results than to lead people down what is like a recommendation rabbit hole," said Ifeoma Ozoma, Pinterest's public policy and social impact manager.
The technology industry is grappling with the thorny issue of how and when to take responsibility for information on its platforms. Companies including Twitter Inc. and Facebook Inc. have begun to police hate speech, violence, terrorism-recruitment campaigns and sexual harassment on their services, shutting down millions of accounts. But those actions also have sparked counter-complaints about everything from political bias and censorship to a lack of transparency in the process.

Social-Media Companies Forced to Confront Misinformation and Harassment (Nov. 16, 2016)
"There's a secretive process with no real appeal where people are making extremely difficult subjective calls that have to do with politics, culture and religion," said Jennifer Granick, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union. "This example shows why it is dangerous. If I want to find good information about vaccines, I can't find it."
The aggressive move by Pinterest marks another change in the way large tech companies are trying to handle the responsibility of monitoring the flow of information.
"Until recently, social-media companies have drawn a line in the sand saying they're not arbiters of truth; that they are passive purveyors of information," said Samuel Woolley, a researcher who studies social-media disinformation at the Institute for the Future think tank.
"There's been pressure on them for a long time to respond to this because the reality of this is the spread of misinformation—especially around vaccines—leads to extremely bad consequences, including death," he said.
Last week, Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) wrote to Google and Facebook, expressing his concern that the tech giants' algorithms were recommending messages that would discourage parents from vaccinating their children.
In response, Facebook said Friday that it was considering changes to the way its algorithm recommends health-related information, including demoting or ceasing recommendations of antivaccine material. Over the past few years Google, a unit of Alphabet Inc., has introduced a number of measures to improve the quality of its health-related search results, such as "knowledge panels" that pop up with authoritative information on searches for medical conditions. These panels are sourced from places such as the Mayo Clinic and are reviewed by medical professionals.
YouTube said it is working with experts to provide more context, including information panels, in its search results, and the company has pledged to improve its search and recommendations when it comes to medical content.

Misinformation about health-related issues can be particularly pernicious because it can affect people's well-being, physicians said.
In Washington state's Clark County, a measles outbreak this winter has infected 62 people, most of them unvaccinated children. Dr. Alan Melnick, the county's public-health director, said "the onslaught of fairly sophisticated but nonsense messages on social media" has contributed to the problem. Amid the outbreak, the county's Facebook page was littered with comments falsely claiming that vaccinated children could spread the disease to others and links to a YouTube video falsely claiming a link between autism and the vaccine used to fight measles, mumps, and rubella, he said.

Pinterest also has begun to block certain cancer-related searches, content and accounts related to dubious cancer therapies, which are another source of misinformation, according to the company. A Pinterest spokeswoman said the company is working on new ways of keeping misleading content out of its recommendations engine.
In December, Pinterest blocked multiple accounts that promote what it determined to be false cancer treatments or that linked to third-party websites selling supplements or other merchandise that haven't been scientifically vetted, according to the company.
Its decision came following a collaboration with social-media intelligence firm Storyful, which identified cancer as "one of those areas where there is more misinformation than not," Ms. Ozoma said. Storyful is owned by News Corp , The Wall Street Journal's parent company. Storyful confirmed the collaboration and said its assessment of cancer-related misinformation was ongoing.
Pinterest trains and uses human reviewers to make determinations about whether or not shared images on the site, called pins, violate its health-misinformation guidelines. The reviewers rely on information from the World Health Organization, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics to judge the veracity of content, the company said. Training documents for reviewers and enforcement guidelines are updated about every six months, according to the company. The process is time-intensive and expensive, in part, because the artificial-intelligence technology required to automate the process doesn't yet exist, Ms. Ozoma said.
Pinterest has felt blowback from users who feel that the removal of these posts is an overreach, Ms. Ozoma said.
Kevin Malone, 58 years old, who gets medical information from podcasts and Facebook, among other sources, said he would "hate to see [social media] totally censored." In the past, traditional doctors haven't been able to treat his ailments well, including infections and a heart condition, he said. Through friends and social media, he's found therapies that work for him, he said.
"I think it's a disservice to the population who like me want to be proactive and want this knowledge," said Mr. Malone, a physical therapist from Ocean Shores, Wash.
Pinterest, which is preparing for an initial public offering this year, is looking to develop better machine-learning tools to aid with curation, and this year the company is tripling the number of engineers focused on content safety, Ms. Ozoma added.
A Pinterest search for "cancer" done this week still yields pins promoting cancer-fighting foods, for instance. The content also shows up in home-page recommendations. The pins then lead to websites claiming cancer can be treated or prevented with nutrition or that certain foods are more effective than chemotherapy at killing cancer cells. Nutritionists and oncologists say there aren't clinical trials—the gold standard for proving therapies are safe and effective—that support those claims.
A company spokeswoman said Pinterest last year began blocking searches for "cancer cures" and "breast cancer cures," and that the company continues to work with experts and outside groups on ways to improve.

Q: Comparison of array with different types in Matlab
Possible Duplicate:
how to compare array with matlab

Here's an example of what I'm looking for:
[a,b,c,d] = getVal(x);

This will give:
a =
    a

b=
    0

c =
    10

d =
    []

And I have:
expected = {'a','0','10',[]};

How could I make the comparison between [a,b,c,d] and expected ?
When I call only getVal(x), it gives me only the first value and when I write:
[a,b,c,d] = getVal(x)

Then I got all values in the log. Why isn't this  the case when I call
getVal(x)?
For comparison I tried:
isequal([a,b,c,d], expected {1:end})

but it doesn't work, any idea how to solve my problem?

A: Don't try to put a, b, c, d into a matrix. That would append spaces. Instead, use a cell array, just like you have for expected:
>> a='a'; b='0'; c='10'; d=[];
>> expected = {'a','0','10',[]};
>> isequaln({a,b,c,d}, expected)

ans =

     1

You also asked why simply calling getVal(x) doesn't give all the values. That is because in MATLAB, a function can (and often does) react to the number of output parameters, i.e., the number of variables on the left hand side of the assignment. Your getVal function returns four values if called with four output parameters; If it doesn't do anything special, then calling it with zero or one output parameter will return only the first of these values, in your example, 'a'. If you want a cell array with all four of these values, do something like
[a, b, c, d] = getVal(x)
{a, b, c, d}

Dough the Freshkid delivers his second official album considered classic.
As a hip-hop lover, the very first thing that stood out to me about this album was the production. DTFK's use of sampling and boom bap beats creates an old school sound that my ears personally love. The use of real jazz instrumentation helps add to the overall musicality of the project. Also, DTFK utilizes record scratches at times which again results in that sweet old school sound.
The album starts out with the song "Sunday Service" which uses a Gospel choir sample. It almost reminds me on Kanye West's "Ultralight Beam". This lively track helps to set the initial tone for the album; however, there are several tone changes throughout.
Although DTFK is independent, after listening to this album, I could easily see him fitting in perfectly with TDE. He has a similar sound to Isaiah Rashad and at times raps similar to 50 Cent, and he has the lyricism to compete with the top tier emcees. At the same time, his choice of production and song topics make me feel like he could also fit in easily with the rappers of the 90s.
This album is an example of hip-hop still being alive and well despite all the trap rap on today's radio stations. It is also proof that there are many independent, underground artists who are much more talented than the mainstream rappers of today.


SIR JOHN POO BERESFORD, bt.
Northallerton was an old market town situated in a valley by the River Wiske, 'amidst lands highly cultivated', in the North Riding of the county 32 miles north-west of York. Linen manufacturing was carried on 'to a small extent', but the town's 'main trade' consisted of the provision of articles of consumption for the surrounding population.3 The boundary was not clearly defined, but it covered only a small part of the parish; it was impossible in practice to distinguish the borough from the town. A bailiff, appointed for life by the lord of the manor, the bishop of Durham, served as the returning officer for parliamentary elections. The franchise was vested in the owners of burgage tenements, of which it was reported in 1831 that there were between 198 and 208, 'eight or ten being doubtful'. Most of the relevant properties were held, singly or jointly, by the Lascelles and Peirse families, who had shared the representation since 1745. According to Oldfield, some of the tenements were no more than 'stables or cow houses', with 'one or more chimney ... usually preserved as a memorial of their right', others were 'let out to poor persons at a small ... rent' in return for keeping them in repair, while 'many' were 'totally ruinous and uninhabited'.4 In 1820 Henry, Lord Lascelles, a Tory, made way for his third son William, apparently in the expectation of receiving a coronation peerage; in the event, he succeeded his father as 2nd earl of Harewood a month after the election.5 Henry Peirse of Bedale, a Whig, was returned for the other seat, as he had been since 1774.
The new criteria adopted in the revised reform bill of December 1831 returned Northallerton to schedule B, as it contained 593 houses and paid £867 in assessed taxes, placing it 85th in the list of the smallest English boroughs. Neither Beresford nor Lascelles sought to defend Northallerton's rights in the Commons, though Lascelles and Harewood (in the Lords) pressed unsuccessfully, 24 Jan., 8 May 1832, for it to become the polling place for the North Riding, in preference to York. The boundary commissioners recommended that the borough be extended to include the townships of Brompton, Deighton, High Worsall and Romanby, thus creating a constituency with 232 registered electors in 1832.14 Two-thirds of the prospective voters signed a petition requesting John George Boss of nearby Otterington Hall to stand at the next election, 'for the sole purpose of opening the borough'. When news of the bill's passage reached Northallerton, Boss was chaired to a celebration on Brompton Green to introduce him to the new electors. In front of the platform, 'an enormously large broom ... was elevated, wherewith to sweep the rotten borough influence out of Northallerton'.15 At the subsequent general election, when Lascelles was left without a seat and Beresford contested Coleraine, Boss defeated Wrightson by 11 votes. However, Wrightson was returned unopposed in 1835 on the interest of Mary Anne Peirse, who has been described as one of 'only two petticoated electoral magnates of their day'. On her death in 1850 the Bedale estate passed to Beresford's eldest son from his second marriage, Henry William de la Poer Beresford (1820-59), who took the name Peirse. It was only after Wrightson's retirement in 1865 that the Lascelles family managed to re-establish their interest.16 Northallerton was disfranchised in 1885.

Three letters of recommendation from individuals who can assess the applicant's academic and ministerial abilities.
If the applicant is currently involved in ministry in a setting other than their home Parish, a fourth letter of recommendation addressing that ministry.
Electives in pastoral ministry may be chosen from the complete course listing for The Saint Paul Seminary School of Divinity with the approval of the student's academic advisor. Students may also select additional courses in theology or other related disciplines, provided the student has met the necessary prerequisites for a particular course.


Home Kansas News Horticulture How Low Should You Go?
We often are asked whether it is good to mow lower in the spring.
The answer is yes and no. It doesn't hurt to mow lower than normal the first mowing or two. As a matter of fact, it can actually speed green-up by removing old, dead grass and allowing the soil to warm up faster. But the mowing height should be raised to normal after the first or second cutting to discourage crabgrass.


Solar energy is undoubtedly the future. Solar energy is a source of energy that will be around for billions of years according to experts because it's clean, causing no negative impact on the environment. Another factor to consider is the fact that, aside from initial setup and installation, solar energy is free which will hold some appeal to homeowners.
The main reason statistically speaking, that more people have not made the switch yet is the high cost of the panels for solar energy. But, there is good news, solar panels are probably not as expensive as you might think, in fact you can even make your own solar panels at home with a little help from the internet and some basic household tools. It may surprise you to find that many of the products you already have in your home can be used to create a simple solar panel design, for instance, you probably own a saw, drill, screwdriver and a wooden container of some sort. In order for you to attach the solar cells and put the box together it may be necessary to have some wood glue and silicone caulk on hand. All you need to do this really is a 12 V battery for storage and a solar panel to create electricity. No need to be fancy; just find an ordinary lead acid battery for this particular job. A large part of the cost of creating a solar solution for your electricity bill can be avoided by finding cheap or free batteries. So, these batteries store the power produced by solar panels, which can then be converted into AC power with the help of a power inverter so the electricity can be used by appliances. To do this, you need to purchase sine wave converters to get the job done. To get 60 MHz electricity, like out of your outlet, you must purchase or have a true sine wave inverter. Of course, these models are more expensive than their modified counterparts, are well worth the cost.
In terms of connections, if you are going to be connecting your solar panel to batteries, you might want to solder on a diode first. This way, power will only be able to flow from the solar cells to the batteries and not the other way around. Having your batteries power your solar panels is a waste of energy. On the other hand, if you are using a charge controller then this step is not necessary. Solar panels are generally mounted on the roofs of homes or buildings and can be used to power anything from a single appliance to your entire home. People use solar panels to heat their homes, especially if they live in a region that is particularly cold.

Tonya Couch was charged in 2016 with hindering the apprehension of a felon and money laundering and was freed after posting $75,000 bond.
The felon was her son Ethan, who was facing allegations that he violated his probation in 2015. Ethan was 16 when he killed four people in June 2013, ramming a pickup truck into a crowd of people trying to help stranded motorists on the side of a North Texas road. He was driving at nearly three times the legal blood alcohol limit for adult drivers.
Couch will have a hearing on the new violations at some point. It wasn't immediately clear if she had a lawyer who could answer to the accusation.
Her son Ethan was released from jail earlier this year.

In Season of Giving, Family is Thankful for the Gift of Life
(Washington, D.C.) A Virginia father has received a kidney transplant thanks to his son's organ donation five months earlier and a program that is reducing another barrier to living donation, time.
In March 2018, 48 year-old Ivan Jones was surprised to be diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure. He needed a transplant.
"I knew right away that I wanted to donate a kidney to my dad," says Amir Jones, 20.
But father and son's blood types were incompatible. If Amir wanted to donate to his dad, the next option was to participate in the paired kidney exchange program so Ivan could be matched with a compatible living donor. The schedule of testing and the intricate logistics of a paired kidney exchange made the date of his father's transplant unpredictable. Adding to the time pressure, the younger Jones had already been admitted to a prestigious research program at Princeton University which started in June. As a senior studying Global Affairs at George Mason University, this was an important chance for Amir to learn from experts in his field. And graduation was scheduled for December 2018.
"In March he was already set to go to Princeton," says Ivan Jones. "As his father, I didn't want to hold him back and I didn't want him to miss this important opportunity. I know he worked hard to get accepted to the program. But knowing my son, I knew he was going to figure something out so he could do both things. It's just who he is."
Fortunately for father and son, they were able to participate in the Advanced Donation Program through the National Kidney Registry which would allow Amir Jones to do both. Amir could donate a kidney on his father's behalf by scheduling his surgery at his own convenience. His father could then receive a voucher for a living organ in the future.
"Because living donation is the best option for recipients, transplant programs are trying to use this option in every possible way," says Seyed Ghasemian, MD, transplant surgeon and director of Transplant Urology at the MedStar Georgetown Transplant Institute. "This NKR program is making it possible for Amir to continue his education and continue with his plans, and for his father to receive a kidney from a living donor. We expect nothing but long term success for both of them."
"As one of the largest paired kidney exchange programs in the country, we're very fortunate to have a dedicated living donor team to make these types of innovative donations and transplant opportunities happen for our patients," says Matthew Cooper, MD, director of Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation at the MGTI."
In late May 2018, Amir had surgery to donate his kidney to someone in the Washington, D.C. area.
Ivan Jones spent the summer getting worked up for his transplant. Then in October, a living donor match in San Diego was offered to Ivan through the NKR. On November 14, about five and a half months after Amir's donation, Ivan Jones had his kidney transplant.
Dr. Ghasemian performed both Amir's kidney donation as well as his dad's kidney transplant.
"At first I was frustrated that I couldn't be a direct donor to my dad," says Amir. "But after realizing that I could help not only him, but someone else, was a real moment of gratitude for me. Two weeks after my surgery, I was packing up my car and driving off to New Jersey for my program," says Amir. "I'm just so grateful for this opportunity that allowed me to continue with my plans and for my dad to receive a kidney from a living donor."
"It's been overwhelming and amazing at the same time," says Amir's mother Pinky Jones. "With Amir being 20, I realized he wasn't asking me, he was telling me he was going to do this. And he was saving his dad's life so there wasn't much I could protest about that."
"It's been amazing that at there's a program like this," says Ivan. "I just had no idea. This is such a blessing. Amir is really big into helping others around the world. And now he's helped not only me, but someone else in need."
As part of his curriculum at George Mason, Amir has traveled around the world to study other cultures. He is vice president of George Mason's chapter of UNICEF and he works with a mentoring program that helps struggling high school students in Fairfax County.
Amir will be followed closely by physicians at the MGTI for a mandatory period of two years. After that Dr. Ghasemian recommends he visit his primary care provider for regular checkups.
"Very few transplant centers in the world have the resources or the experience with logistics and organization to be able to offer this to their potential donors and patients," says Dr. Cooper. "This shows MGTI's high level of investment and belief in paired kidney exchange as one critical way to offer creative transplant options. We also have significant living donor benefits not offered at most centers to support and protect donors who give the gift of life."
After graduation in December 2018, Amir plans to apply to law school with this experience behind him.
"I'm just so thankful for all that my dad, my family and I have been able to be part of this," says Amir.
More than 100,000 people are on the waiting list for a kidney transplant in the United States.

Saint Louis (IPA, s|eɪ|n|t|_|ˈ|l|uː|ɪ|s ori s|æ|n|t|_|ˈ|l|uː|.|iː), în franceză Saint-Louis sau St-Louis, (IPA, sɛ̃ lwi) este un oraș independent  și cel de-al doilea oraș ca mărime a populației din statul , .

Conform recensământului din anul 2010, populația orașului era de 319.294 de locuitori  (în scădere față de Census 2000) și principala municipalitate a zonei metropolitane numite Greater Saint Louis, care cu o populație de 2.845.298 locuitori este cea mai largă aglomerare urbană din statul Missouri, a patra din Midwest, respectiv a 15-a din Statele Unite ale Americii.

Istorie

Perioada colonială (secolele XVII-XVIII)
În secolul al XVII-lea, regiunea Saint Louis este explorată de francezi. În 1673, Louis Jolliet și Jacques Marquette încep explorarea fluviului Mississippi pentru ca la câțiva ani mai târziu, Cavalier de la Salle să descopere cursul acestuia. Aceasta, având posesia regiunii, a numit-o "Louisiana" în onoarea regelui Louis al XIV-lea. Regunea nordică acestei regiuni este de asemenea numită "Louisiana de nord" sau "Țara Illinois". Francezii au construit prima instituție în anul 1699, în apropierea zonei Cahokia. Tot în perioada aceasta au construit și o serie mare de forturi (Fortul Chartres, Kaskaskia, Prairie du Rocher, etc.). Preoții catolici s-au stabilit aici în anul 1703.

Orașul a fost fondat de francezul Pierre Laclede și de tânărul său asistent, Auguste Choteau pe 15 februarie 1764. În 1765, St. Louis a devenit capitala Louisianei de nord. Între anii 1766 și 1768, ea a fost administrată de guvernul francez, având ca președinte pe Ange de Bellerive. Dar tratatul de la Paris, semnat la 10 februarie 1763, a reprezentat înfrângerea trupelor și sfârșitul războiului de 7 ani, unde Franța a pierdut multe teritorii din America de Nord, inclusiv cele de la est de Mississippi, vândute de Regatul Unit. În ceea ce privește partea de vest, ea a revenit Spaniei. După 1768, St. Louis este guvernat de Spania în secret până în anul 1800 în care s-a semnat tratatul de la San Ildefonso, tratat care înapoia regiunea Franței. La 18 ianuarie 1803 Napoleon Bonaparte decide dă vândă teritoriul. Louisiana a fost vândută Statelor Unite contra a sumei de 80 milioane de franci, iar suveranitatea americană va intra în vigoare pe 20 decembrie 1803.

Expansiunea din secolul al XIX-lea

Saint Louis fac parte din Statele Unite din anul 1803, perioadă în care avea aproximativ 1000 de locuitori. Anul următor, celebra expediție Lewis și Clark, cât și expediția de explorare a coastei de vest a Pacificului au făcut oamenii să apară din nou pe 23 septembrie 1806. Marea perioadă a industriei de bărci și vapoare a avut loc în anul 1817, atunci când Zebulon Pike a sosit în oraș. Saint Louis este cel mai mic port de pe Mississippi fondat la mijlocul secolului al XIX-lea, un pic mai mare decât el fiind portul din spatele New York. Missouri a devenit stat, iar Saint Louis capitala acestuia.

În 1849 orașul a fost lovit de o epidemie de holeră și de un incediu uriaș. Ca urmare a cestor două dezastre, autoritățile municipale au decis să impună un cod de planificare și de îmbunătățire al managementului de ape uzate. Populația a crescut rapid prin imigrarea familiilor germane, irlndeze și italiene; în 1860, existau 160.000 de locuitori, în timp ce orașul n-a existat decât 100 de ani.

Pop Art: Exploring A Few Facts
Posted by joseph george on December 18th, 2020
Pop art actually popped up in the United Kingdom in the mid 1950. It was brought into the real frame by the progressive artists such as Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi. This form of art became actually famous in the 60s when artists such as Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and James Rosenquist made it an international phenomenon with their work inspired by mass culture and everyday objects. Their creations blurred the lines between high-art and low culture.
Pop art promotes popular culture, or material culture; and it is never a critique of consequences of consumerism and materialism. It recognizes their presence as a fact.
Richard Hamilton, born in 1922 in London, was an art visionary with a deep interest in magazines, television, movies, and modern music. He became successful in depicting the perceptions of artists as a consumer and also perceived them as a contributor to the mass culture. While Warhol became the household name in pop art, Richard Hamilton was the person who actually laid the foundation for pop art. His 1956 collage, 'Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?' achieved a truly iconic status.
All pop artists shared a common ground for their art; they chose popular culture as the basic idea behind their work. Talk about the common work by renowned artists of the early era, their work mostly felt like a supermarket shelf. Eduardo Paolozzi and Hamilton had their meticulously layered collage work; Warhol and his work of early Coca-Cola bottles; and Campbell's soup tins – they were all inspired by consumer behavior. In fact, some of the artists such as James Rosenquist had magazine clippings in colossal collage paintings.
The work spoke a lot about pop culture and had an urban attitude in their work. However, some pop art works were also expressive of social criticism.
American pop art felt a little different, characterized by aggressiveness. It was also emblematic and anonymous. English pop was somewhat expressive of romantic view of the pop culture. English pop artists had popular technology and culture as the fundamental ground for their art work.
Pop art also gained critical acceptance as a form of art that suited to the society that admired technology and mass media. Initially it was not taken seriously by the public, but it became highly recognized by the end of the 20th century.
Today, pop art by several renowned artists can be found online.

In New York City in 1969, 19-year-old art student Noriko fell in love with 41-year-old avant-garde artist Ushio Shinohara and put her career on hold to marry and support this rising star of the Manhattan art world. But 40 years later and still struggling, Ushio remains consumed with reinforcing his legacy via his 'boxing' paintings, while Noriko is now finding her own creative voice through a series of drawings entitled "Cutie And Bullie" that depict their chaotic relationship and transforming roles of assistant and artist. Cutie And The Boxer is a powerful and poignant documentary about creativity, sacrifice, and a love that is its own unique work of art.

Facebook bans 'deepfake' videos, but policy doesn't cover parody or satire
A manipulated video viewed online changes statements made by President Trump and President Obama. Facebook has pledged to crack down on misleading videos ahead of the next election.
By Bloomberg
Jan. 7, 2020 3:47 PM PT
Facebook Inc. has shed more light on its efforts to eradicate doctored videos known as deepfakes, addressing an issue it has identified as an emergent threat ahead of the U.S. election.
The operator of the world's largest social network pledged to remove content that has been "edited or synthesized" beyond adjustments for quality or clarity and is deemed likely to mislead viewers.
The new rules will not apply to parody or satire, however.
Videos that don't immediately meet Facebook's internal criteria for removal may still get fact-checked by more than 50 organizations the social media giant has partnered with worldwide. Facebook will collaborate with Reuters to help newsrooms spot deepfakes through free online courses.
Facebook was widely criticized last year for not reacting faster to a widely seen video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that had been edited to make it look as though she was slurring her speech. It took the company more than a day to label the video as "fake," at which point its distribution was limited by Facebook's algorithms, but the company didn't remove it altogether. Dozens of Democrats signed a letter to Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, accusing him of not taking the situation seriously and saying that Facebook would be "grossly unprepared" for the 2020 elections.
"Facebook wants you to think the problem is video-editing technology, but the real problem is Facebook's refusal to stop the spread of disinformation," Drew Hammill, Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, said in a tweet Tuesday.
The video wasn't technically a deepfake, which would mean it was completely fabricated, but still introduced Facebook to the kinds of misinformation it'll face heading into the 2020 election. Facebook has since said it moved too slowly to curtail the reach of that video.
"We are strengthening our policy toward misleading manipulated videos that have been identified as deepfakes," Monika Bickert, vice president of global policy management, wrote in a blog post. "While these videos are still rare on the internet, they present a significant challenge for our industry and society as their use increases."
Other U.S. internet giants are also tightening up on content ahead of the elections. Alphabet Inc.'s Google is restricting misinformation and banning deepfakes in ads following criticism that internet companies ran ads from President Trump that were intentionally misleading.
Facebook's policy details were first reported by the Washington Post.

Jobbik: Register all organizations funded from abroad
Jobbik proposes to record and publish foreign funds received by civil organizations in Hungary. The party says that this measure could limit the influence of various "civil" organizations on Hungarian politics.
The bill of the patriotic party proposes to keep records of any foreign funding over 1 million HUF paid to civil organization – announced Márton Gyöngyösi in his press conference on the 3rd of October 2013. He says the goal is not to punish anybody, but to make funding transparent and prevent foreign influence. The bill proposes to publish any sums exceeding 1 million HUF net that are provided by a foreign state, person or organization.
Gyöngyösi explains the need for the bill saying that since the end of the bipolar world order, the West has been applying "soft" measures to increase its influence in the post-Communist regions, i.e. in Central Europe and Central Asia.
The examples of such influence include the so-called "colourful revolutions" in Ukraine, Kirghizia or Georgia, where they attempted to overthrow the legitimate governments by secret service methods, which led to a coup d'état or a civil war situation. In the post-Communist region, civil organizations funded by unclear foundations provide for the education, training and financing of West-friendly opposition.
The leader of Jobbik's foreign policy cabinet reminded the public of Charles Gati's statement made in 2012 in which he said that "there are democratic, or, if that is impossible, other kind of ways to remove the Hungarian government if it opposes western expectations".
As is known, the Center for American Progress (CAP) Foundation, which is related to Gati, is a partner and sponsor of ex-prime minister Gordon Bajnai's Patriotism and Progress foundation, therefore Bajnai's political role means a significant national security risk for Hungary due to the support received from abroad – he added.
Charles Gati and his man in Hungary: Gordon Bajnai
This risk is further confirmed by the statements of Ms Viviane Reding, the Vice-President of the European Commission made at the meeting of the Bilderberg Group saying that she was working on undermining the legitimacy of the 2014 elections, for which purpose she was conducting discussions with NGOs and Gordon Bajnai, specifically. Gyöngyösi says this makes Bajnai's group a servant of US as well as Brussels' interests, thus posing multiple threats to the sovereignty of our country.
Gyöngyösi reminded that Russia has recently passed a legislation to oblige all NGOs receiving funding from abroad to be registered as foreign agents. There is a similar legislation already in force in Israel, where "non-profit organizations" must report any sums received from a foreign government and exceeding the Shekel amount equivalent to 1.5 million HUF.

Q: How to use keyword arguments when creating struct instances Suppose I have this struct:
(struct pos (x y))

I can create instances of this struct using:
(pos 1 2)

Suppose I want to use keyword arguments instead. For example:
(pos #:x 1 #:y 2)

This results in an error:
> (pos #:x 1 #:y 2)
; application: procedure does not accept keyword arguments
;   procedure: pos
; [,bt for context]

How can I use keyword arguments when creating instances of structs?

A: You can't do that with native struct, so you either have to roll your own constructor as @tfb suggests, or use third-party libraries that provide this feature.

Prenatal yoga and Mama and Baby yoga classes in Southeast Portland with Shana Celnicker-Chong, the best prenatal teacher in town.
We are pleased to offer comprehensive self-care for people that are experiencing pregnancy and new parents in the form of our celebrated Prenatal and Postpartum programs here at The Bhaktishop with Shana Celnicker-Chong. Shana has decades of experience in the birthing community in Portland and beyond, and her skills and tenderness in supporting pregnant students at this transformational time of life are unparalleled. If you are looking for strength, community and self-care, we are here for you. Our prenatal classes are solely for students that are experiencing pregnancy, as a means of deep support, community, and skilled guidance. Pregnant transgender and non-binary students are welcome and encouraged to come and explore this class.
Come explore some sweet time on your mat in the company of other mamas and infants! This class is a reclamation of time and self for all bodies that have birthed or adopted babies, and we explore some simple yoga together as well as some time to share in the support of other parents. Although we use the term *mamas* as shorthand for those with uteruses who have birthed or adopted babies, please know that we support all our transgender and non-binary mamas/baby-birthing folks and that you are most fully welcomed and encouraged to attend. Babies, bouncy seats, toys. rattles, nursing and pretty much anything else is also welcome in here, until your baby is crawling circles around you.
This specialized class will focus on bringing awareness and strength during movement; you'll teach your body (and specifically your core) to be reflexive, responsive, supportive, functional and strong so that you will have increased capacity, decreased pain, and more stability in your everyday life. This class is ideal for those that need support in their lower back, pelvis and sacrum due to pain and instability. It is also ideal for those that need help rebuilding strength in their core and pelvic floor, such as after the birth of a child, in cases of prolapse syndromes, and in diastasis recti. We will play with how the core is the center of your whole body, and how it is all connected. All levels and gender identities welcome.
This class is designed to give folks giving birth an opportunity to learn about and practice using techniques to help embrace the intensity of childbirth. We will journey through Labor, learning about what is happening and gathering tools for you and your birth support partners to help you navigate the process. We will use movement, breath, meditation and connection to help you and your partners feel more prepared for the big event of birth and meeting your new baby.
Are you ready for some you time? Please join us for a Sunday afternoon of precious self care. We will spend our time in the company of other mothers to reconnect with ourselves and our bodies, moving and breathing with an emphasis on moving from your center. This class will focus largely on strengthening your core and your pelvic floor, and there will be a lovely restorative ending to relax and renew you back into your very busy lives. Although we use the term *mamas* as shorthand for those with uteruses who have birthed or adopted babies, please know that we support all our transgender and non-binary mamas/parents/baby-birthing folks and that you are most fully welcomed and encouraged to attend.
Shana trained at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, studying an emphasis in Midwifery and Women's health, and graduated in 2003. As she began to apprentice as a midwife, she decided to get training in Prenatal and Postpartum yoga. Fortunate to have found Collette Crawford at her Holistic Prenatal program in Seattle, WA., she taught Shana the nuts and bolt of these special gifts of yoga to birthing students, but also about the importance of empowering them emotionally as well. Anyone can teach poses, but as it is with any yoga class, it is what happens inside that matters most. She has been serving the Prenatal and Postpartum community and beyond since 2001, building an amazing community, and has steadily remained involved in the Portland birth community.

How to relocate to Singapore: 10 types of work visas for foreigners
Relocate to Singapore. We are contacted every day regarding the issue of work visas and obtaining work permits in Singapore. Let's see what types of work visas exist in Singapore and which type is suitable for each individual case.
To begin with, all issues related to employment and labor relations in Singapore are regulated by the Ministry of Labor of Singapore, and the employment of foreigners is regulated by the Law on Employment of a Foreign Labor (The Employment of Foreign Manpower Act) and the Immigration Act.

Widespread protests by students in the Kashmir Valley on Monday heightened tensions as dozens of students and policemen were injured in clashes.
The students clashed with police in Srinagar, Bandipora, Baramulla, Anantnag, Pulwama, Kupwara, Kulgam and Shopian districts.
The students had called for protests against Saturday's incident in Pulwama town in which over 50 students were injured in fighting with security forces after objecting to the setting up of a security post outside the college.
Security forces had entered the Pulwama college on Saturday.
Students of S.P. College in Srinagar blocked the Maulana Azad Road on Monday as police used tear smoke in a bid to clear it.
The students resorted to massive stone pelting at the police, resulting in injuries to the Station House Officer of Kothibagh police station and two of his guards.
Three students were also injured in the clashes.
Police used dozens of tear smoke shells to disperse the students who kept regrouping to engage the police on the streets.
Markets in neighbouring Residency Road and Lal Chowk areas closed as tension spread.
Protests and clashes also erupted between students in Pulwama town despite the authorities having ordered the closure of the college there for two days following Saturday's incident.
Students also indulged in heavy stone pelting at the security forces in Baramulla, Shopian, Kulgam, Anantnag, Dooru, Kupwara, Ganderbal, Tral and Bandipora towns.
Protests took place inside the Kashmir University and the Central University here but these were peaceful.
Police said they were maintaining "extreme restraint" while dealing with the student protests.

BCSO gets Operation Round Up grant
GREENVILLE, ALABAMA – Pioneer Electric Cooperative's Operation Round Up Charitable Foundation has awarded the Butler County Sheriff's Office a $10,000 grant to purchase body armor, fire extinguishers and first aid kits for the 14 full-time sworn officers who serve Butler County.
"Safety is our primary goal as we work to fulfill our mission of protecting the lives and property of Butler County's citizens," said Butler County Sheriff Danny Bond. "We appreciate the Pioneer Electric Operation Round Up Foundation's support in providing our officers with the equipment necessary to carry out that mission."
Operation Round Up is funded by Pioneer Electric members who voluntarily round up their monthly electric bill to the nearest dollar.
All funds stay in the community to benefit local organizations and individuals in need of assistance.
"Concern for our communities is one of Pioneer Electric's core values and one that we hold in common with the Sheriff's Office," said Christi Scruggs, Pioneer Electric Cooperative communications director.
"Because we share the goal of improving the communities we serve, we are happy to support the officers who dedicate their lives to making our home a better place for everyone."
Since the program's inception last year, Operation Round Up has awarded nearly $70,000 in grants to individuals in need and organizations that serve our area.
More information about Operation Round Up is available at www.pioneerelectric.com/operation-round.

2 3 1  1  3  3  2  1
5 6 6  4  3  2  1  1

This is the code that I used, in which I was able to successfully do this:
ColumnSums<-lapply(ColumnSums, function(x) sum(x))

AB<-ColumnSums$A+ColumnSums$B
A1B1<-ColumnSums$A1+ColumnSums$B1
A2B2<-ColumnSums$A2+ColumnSums$B2
A3B3<-ColumnSums$A3+ColumnSums$B3

CombinedTotals<-c(AB,A1B1,A2B2,A3B3)
names(CombinedTotals)<-c("AB","A1B1","A2B2","A3B3")

I am just wondering if there is a way to trim this code down. Specifically, the second part of my code. I had to manually combine each total for 2 columns. I am wondering if there is a way to automate that process.

A: You can do this simply, if df is your original data.frame:
setNames(colSums(df)[c(F, T)]+colSums(df)[c(T,F)], c("AB","A1B1","A2B2","A3B3"))
#AB A1B1 A2B2 A3B3
#19   15   13    9

Or:
tapply(colSums(df), (seq(ncol(df))-1) %/% 2, sum)
