As leaders in the online gaming industry, Playtech takes its responsibilities to players, operators and regulators seriously, and a major part of this is a focus on responsible gaming. While as a software provider we are not directly in contact with players, responsible gaming remains a fundamental issue for us in safeguarding our business and reputation, and for the continued development of the industry. As a result, responsible gaming is an integral part of our mindset, and a key driving force behind all of our activities.
Playtech's fully-integrated management system provides a complete and comprehensive solution with embedded systems and controls to ensure fair play. The combination of advanced responsible gaming tools and sophisticated player tracking across all products and platforms, gives operators the means through which to control and prevent issues such as compulsive usage and underage access of our gaming products.
The Group has contributed financially to the work of the Great Foundation, a UK charity dedicated to supporting research into problem gambling, education and training.
As a responsible supplier to the regulated gaming industry, we ensure our systems comply with all the guidelines published by the variety of well-regulated jurisdictions in which our licensees operate. We partner with regulatory and governmental bodies, and all our products undergo comprehensive testing by independent 3rd parties.
We are an active member in the Remote Gambling Association (RGA) that has developed an industry code of practice on social responsibility and age verification to which we adhere.
As part of the certification process, our games and their software engines - including the random number generators - are regularly tested and certified by leading industry bodies to ensure consistency and fair play. The Group holds certificates of evaluation from the accredited testing facility TST. TST is now part of Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) the largest independent gaming testing and certification laboratory. Playtech also holds an official Certificate of Prior Approval from the Alderney Gaming Control Commission (AGCC). In regulated markets such as France and Italy, our software has been reviewed and passed for use by the local regulators.
Our transparency toolkit is an embedded part of Playtech's software and includes viewable player protection content, self exclusion tools, compulsive gamblers' interface, a time-out mechanism and age verification tools.
We provide comprehensive training and ongoing operator support to our licensees to ensure that they are able to manage the responsible gaming tools to the best of their abilities.
As an integral part of the technology platform, Playtech has developed a sophisticated monitoring capability to identify and protect from fraud and money laundering. It is supported by a dedicated security team focused on ensuring the business and infrastructure is at the forefront of industry best practice. Comprehensive monitoring of transactions and gaming behaviour also helps ensure players cannot gain an advantage through unfair means. This is a particular focus in P2P games such as poker to minimize any risk of player collusion.
Playtech recognises that while most people gamble for entertainment, a small number of people can become obsessed with playing games of chance. Therefore we provide responsible gaming resources through the gaming client. By providing links in the game client the operator can direct the player to a huge range of responsible gaming resources, including self evaluation surveys. Operators can monitor player activity and identify patterns of behaviour indicating those potentially at risk.
Playtech requires every new player to confirm that they are of legal age to play online games in their local jurisdiction. To ensure this, our system performs rigorous player credentials verification with the use of a 3rd party age verification system.
Playtech's software provides a range of bet or stake limits which can be set and controlled by the player. These limits can be set daily, weekly, monthly and for the current session. Playtech also enables the ability to provide reminders to players about their active limits; what the limits are and how much has been used so far.
Players can choose to limit themselves to a predefined deposit amount per period which cannot be passed.
Players can place a variety of limits on the amount that they can wager. Single bet limits restrict the amount that can be placed on any one bet, or players can determine a total bet limit for a set period of time. The poker stake limit tools enable players to define which tables they can access, in terms of fixed limit, pot limit and no limit games.
A range of time management tools enable players to limit the duration of game play, with a timer and alert once the limit has been reached.
Playtech's self-exclusion tools mean that upon request, an account will remain closed for a specified period of time, ranging from one day to 12 months, and will not be reactivated under any circumstances during the exclusion period. During that time the player will not receive any promotional communication. The 'exclude now' button allows an immediate cool-off period, with one click on an icon on the game screen.
In May 2010 Playtech was awarded the contract to provide the online gaming technology for the Finnish slot machine monopoly, Raha-automaattiyhdistys ('RAY'). RAY has a 70 year history of providing land-based gaming in Finland within a highly controlled and regulated environment incorporating a range of features to promote responsible gaming. As the state-owned-monopoly, RAY has a strong focus on social responsibility, and all profits go to health and social welfare programmes including gaming support. Its reputation for ethical and responsible operations is very high and regularly monitored through national surveys.
RAY's key criteria for an online gaming partner were the requirements for systems which would integrate with RAY's existing gaming controls and would maintain their high standards for responsible gaming. Playtech was able to demonstrate that its platform and software development could provide RAY with the highest levels of control and functionality needed to maintain this capability across its online as well as existing land-based formats.

Q: Contact Form 7 Change Form-Tag Output I'm trying to change the output of contactform7 forms from
<form action="/#wpcf7-f583-p294-o1" method="post" class="wpcf7-form">

to
<form action="/#wpcf7-f583-p294-o1" method="post" class="small-12 column wpcf7-form" novalidate data-abide>

Therefore I've added some hooks
add_filter('wpcf7_form_class_attr', function($html_class) { return 'small-12 column ' . $html_class; }); // adds respsonsive classes to the form-tag
add_filter('wpcf7_form_novalidate', function($support_html5) { return true; }); // adds novalidate-attr to the form-tag

So the only thing I'm missing is the data-attribute. Is there any hook or any idea, how to get there, without toching the core-Files?
I've found the magic in /contact-form-7/includes/contact-form.php starting in line 297
/* Generating Form HTML */
public function form_html( $args = '' ) { // ...

and then, from line 409 on
$enctype = apply_filters( 'wpcf7_form_enctype', '' );
        ...

        $atts = array(
            'action' => esc_url( $url ),
            'method' => 'post',
            'class' => $class,
            'enctype' => wpcf7_enctype_value( $enctype ),
            'autocomplete' => $autocomplete,
            'novalidate' => $novalidate ? 'novalidate' : '',
        );

        ...
        $atts = wpcf7_format_atts( $atts );

        $html .= sprintf( '<form data-abide %s>', $atts ) . "\n";
        ...

        $html .= '</form>';
        $html .= '</div>';

SO: pushing my values to the atts array in the form_html function would be my solution. But honestly I don't know how-
Thank you in advance!

A: Use jQuery.  If I read your question correctly... You are trying to add the classes small-12 and column... remove novalidate and add data-abide?
jQuery('#wpcf7-f583-p294-o1 form').addClass('small-12 column').removeAttr('novalidate').attr('data-abide', true);

The answer is rather obvious: while most Linux distributions are general-purpose, some specialized ones come bundled with certain types of software. For example, there are media center distributions 5 Great Linux Media Center Distributions To Transform Your TV 5 Great Linux Media Center Distributions To Transform Your TV Read More , those that turn your computer into a multimedia production studio, and even a few religious distros The Most Interesting Religious Distros for Linux The Most Interesting Religious Distros for Linux The creativity and freedom of the Linux platform allows any developer to explore their own beliefs, whilst providing others with an operating system preloaded with the best religious observance tools Linux has to offer. Read More . Knowing that, it shouldn't surprise you that scientific Linux distros exist. After all, the history of Linux Penguin Origins: The History of Linux [Geek History] Penguin Origins: The History of Linux [Geek History] There's virtually no place you can go without being in contact with Linux - it powers everything from regular computers to the most powerful servers to our handheld mobile devices.

Linux plays a crucial role in keeping our world going. Read More and workstations of the world's biggest research organizations.
Simply put, scientific distros offer pre-installed software for various research purposes. Of course, you can transform your regular Ubuntu into a scientific distro by installing those same apps, but the point of such distributions is to avoid hunting for individual applications. Instead, they provide a quick way to deploy Linux in research facilities, educational institutions, and on personal computers of students and science-curious users. If you're among the latter, here are five great scientific distros to consider.
This green-colored distro is aimed at scientists who work in bioinformatics — an interdisciplinary field that combines molecular biology and genetics with statistics and analysis methods from computer science. Developed at the Environmental Omics Synthesis Centre in the UK, Bio-Linux is supported and funded by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).
It's an Ubuntu-based distribution available for 64-bit systems only, and it offers two desktop environments: Unity as default and MATE as a lightweight alternative A Review of MATE: Is It a True GNOME 2 Replica for Linux? A Review of MATE: Is It a True GNOME 2 Replica for Linux? The world of Linux desktop environments has dramatically changed since then. Gnome 3 was born, Gnome 2 was essentially thrown to the side, Gnome 3 was forked to create Cinnamon, and so on. However, Gnome... Read More . The latest version (8.0.5) guarantees long-term support thanks to its Ubuntu 14.04 core. Bio-Linux 8 packs literally hundreds of bioinformatics tools, both command-line and graphical. To help you get started, Bio-Linux offers a PDF guide.
Software Highlights: Artemis, a DNA sequence viewer and annotation app; Galaxy, a browser-based biomedical research platform; Fasta, for searching DNA and protein databases; Mesquite, for evolutionary biology; njplot, for drawing phylogenetic trees, and Rasmol, for visualizing macromolecules. If you want to install packages from Bio-Linux on your Ubuntu-based system, you can simply add their repositories.
Like Bio-Linux, Poseidon Linux also has a color scheme: gentle blue tones that match its marine name. The branding was inspired by oceanologists who work on the project, but Poseidon Linux is not for just one branch of science. Instead it offers a wide range of tools, from 2D and 3D visualization, genetics, and programming apps to support for statistics, numerical modeling and mapping.
Poseidon Linux is the result of a transatlantic cooperation between the Rio Grande Federal University in Brazil and the MARUM Institute in Germany. The current stable version (4.0) is lagging behind the times, since it's based on Ubuntu 10.04. However, Poseidon 5.0 is in development, and it promises long-term support (relying on Ubuntu 12.04) and Unity as the default desktop environment — a welcome upgrade from the old GNOME 2.30 which comes with Poseidon 4.0.
Software Highlights: Lab Plot, for interactive graphing and data analysis; QCAD, for 2D drawing; Blender, for 3D modelling, and QGIS, a complete geographic information system.
You can download Poseidon Linux for free in both 32- and 64-bit editions.
Alternative: If you only need geography and mapping tools, try OSGeo, a Lubuntu-based product of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.
The clue is in the name: CAE stands for Computer-Aided Engineering, and this scientific distro is perfect for anyone who works with CAD, modelling, prototyping, 3D printing, and physics simulations. Developed in Switzerland, CAElinux is based on Xubuntu 12.04 and requires a 64-bit system. It doesn't offer any desktop flavors apart from Xfce, but its software selection is impressive.
Software Highlights: Salome, for 3D CAD and meshing; GMSH, for geometry modelling; Scilab, for mathematical programming; Paraview, for 3D visualization; ImageJ, for image processing and analysis, and Elmer, for complex physical models.
CAElinux is available as a Live DVD image for free, or you can order a physical copy at an affordable price.
Alternative: If you don't need all the advanced engineering software and just want some 3D modelling and animation tools, try ArtistX, which we covered in detail ArtistX: The Linux Distribution Tailored For Any Artist, Whether Graphical or Musical ArtistX: The Linux Distribution Tailored For Any Artist, Whether Graphical or Musical Read More .
After all these *buntu-based distros, Scientific Linux is a true combo-breaker: it's a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Latest version (7.1, codenamed Nitrogen) came out just recently, in three flavors—KDE, GNOME, and IceWM 8 Great Alternative Desktop Managers For Linux 8 Great Alternative Desktop Managers For Linux Read More —for 64-bit systems only. However, its base is not the only thing that makes Scientific Linux stand out. Unlike other distros which are brimming with scientific software, Scientific Linux offers only a basic set of apps. What a sneaky, misleading distro!
Well, not really. Scientific Linux is, in fact, developed by scientists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). While it doesn't offer many scientific applications by default, there are dozens readily available in the repositories. With codecs and wireless support out-of-the-box, Scientific Linux is a great choice for a scientific environment in which everything is expected to function without too much tinkering. Users can install only the software they need, so their system won't be cluttered with apps they'll never even open.
Scientific Linux can be downloaded as a Live DVD image.
Alternative: The developers of Scientific Linux encourage the creation of "spins" or builds based on their project. One such distro is Fermi Linux; a good, security-focused option for those who want to run Scientific Linux on a 32-bit system.
This Fedora spin represents the middle ground between a highly specialized and an ordinary Linux distribution. As such, it's great for researchers and students of all scientific backgrounds, although it slightly leans in favor of numerical-based research. The default desktop environment is KDE, and Fedora Scientific is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. It's developed by Amit Saha with the support of Fedora Science and Technology SIG. Beautiful online documentation will introduce you to Fedora Scientific and guide you through its software selection.
Software Highlights: Maxima, a complete algebra suite; LaTeX, for creating documents and presentations; Mayavi, for 3D data visualization, and the version control Not Just For Coders: Top Version Control Systems For Writers Not Just For Coders: Top Version Control Systems For Writers The mention of version control or revision control makes it seem like something for geeks. You will be surprised to know that version control systems have their place not only in academic writing but in... Read More trifecta: git, Mercurial, and Subversion.
You can download Fedora Scientific Live DVD either via direct download or as a torrent.
Alternative: If you're looking for a user-friendly scientific distribution that's focused on mathematics, Mathbuntu is a fine replacement for Fedora Scientific. It's available as a standalone distribution or as a set of packages for your current Ubuntu installation.
Regardless of which scientific field you're interested in, you should be able to pick a suitable distribution from this list. Now, back to that pop quiz—what is your favorite scientific Linux distribution? Can you name any other similar distributions that deserve a place on this list? Do your homework and share your recommendations in the comments.
Image Credits: Featured image, Nagios based Monitoring wall in the NOC via Flickr by Docklandsboy, Poseidon screenshot, CAElinux screenshot, Scientific Linux via Wikimedia Commons, Fedora Scientific screenshot.
If you had to choose one in the list blindly, your best bet is Fedora Scientific Spin, for two reasons: 1). it is more general its its science content, with a variety of apps for many different fields. The default install gives you HUGE number of tools, considering the size of the ISO. Second, Fedora provides the most up-to-date packages, so you are getting very recent libraries and software.
Thanks for this nice overview!
A search for CAELinux has brought me to your page, after a colleague mentioned there was such distribution.
I would have to say opensuse leap, then you load your scientific stuff from science repositories, in my case when working with R, i found it to be the only distro (i may be wrong) that offers daily upstream patches of R using their R patched repos. Fedora comes second.
I use Scientific Linux CERN 6 Non-PAE / i386.

The nature of the cybersecurity threat continues to proliferate at an alarmingly rapid pace and in the first quarter of 2016, 45%, of organisations in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa reported cyber security incidents, according to Kaspersky Lab. Consequently, the Middle East cybersecurity market is forecast to double in size from $11.38 billion in 2017 to $22.14 billion by 2022 (Research and Markets). This growth is being driven by the rising number of digital services and connected solutions, which in many cases have not been designed to cope with emerging security threats. Machina Research predicts that there will be 26 billion connected devices in the world by 2020. These need to be reliable and secure in order for the Internet of Things market to reach its potential. The providers of these new services may be unaware of the cyber security threats their services face, and may not have the skills to mitigate these risks. In contrast, their adversaries may quickly taking advantage of technology and security weaknesses if these vulnerabilities are exposed. This eye-opening session will debate the best approaches to achieving resilience and protecting companies and consumers alike from the ever growing threat posed by cyber security in the context of the Internet of Things.

I've got two SD Card modules with onboard 5v to 3.3v conversion however they are implemented quite differently. They both have 1117 LDO regulators for 3.3v. One uses a level shift IC on the data lines while the other just has a bunch of 10k resistors. Are there implications of one method vs. the other? I need to run the AVR at 5v. Thank you.
Are there implications of one method vs. the other?
Figure 5. Using a single current-limiting resistor causes damage to the input circuitry.
10K ohm is high for SPI (a few ns rise-time); 1K might work though half that is better.
mega4809 Curiosity Nano has LVC1T45 to translate from 3V SAMD21 to 5V mega4809.
What about the WIZNET Ethernet Shield where that limiting resistor is zero ohm ?
While from 5 to 3.3V can be hacked with a resistor or a resistor divider, the MISO signal encounters other issues. 3.3 / 5 = 0.66 while Mega4809 requires 0.7 of 5V.
The reason it is working, they rely on the fact that most of the time Arduino Uno is powered from an USB port, so the 5V is in fact 4.3 or slightly higher and therefore 3.3V is enough to slightly exceed the minimum threshold.
They remove the active buffers out of concern that the buffers introduce additional delays for the SPI communication. I wonder if a barely exceeding MISO signal does not introduce a delay as well.
I would go with the board on the left in that picture. Few ns introduced by those buffers are not going to have an impact for a maximum of 10MHz that you can get our of your Mega4809.
The reason they use simple resistors instead resistor dividers is to have it compatible with both 5V and 3.3V.
I am curious in this case, why 5V is not avoidable if OP could share some light.
WIZnet W5500 is 5V tolerant.
A 1117's datasheet may have conditions to add the reverse diodes.
The GPIO inputs are 5V tolerant. However, when GPIO input voltage levels exceed VCC, an external clamp circuit is required. Two examples of different application circuits are shown in Figure 7.
One uses a level shift IC on the data lines while the other just has a bunch of 10k resistors.
A level shifter can reach 20Mbps or greater.
10K resistors means a greatly reduced SPI clock frequency.
An AVR's SPI rise-time is a few ns.
Absolutely. This project's sole purpose is to communicate with other devices which are 5v only. Lots of 5v IO lines and the SD Card is the only non 5v component. Thank you.
I'm using the SD card module on the right in post 1. I'll post a scope picture of the clock waveform from the controller at 4MHz when I get the diode adaptor built.
You mean current sink capability ?
1117's pass transistor can be damaged.
I'm back to post pictures of waveforms for the LC Soft SD Card (one on the right in post 1); however, nothing went as planned. If you are not interested in the details, my conclusion is to forget about using diodes with this particular set of parts and use a level shifter. Place a 100 ohms resistor between the microcontroller and level shifter for MOSI, SCLK, and CS. Include a 100 ohm resistor between the SD Card and level shift for MISO.
As you can see, the card voltage never gets above 2 volts.
Before going farther, I need to qualify the ringing that you see at the microcontroller's output. A few days ago when I first viewed the clock output of the microcontroller with no load, the waveform was a very clean square wave. During wiring changes yesterday, I must have messed up somewhere because the board's voltage regulator got very hot to the touch. I replaced the ATtiny861 today with a spare but the waveform did not clean up so my problem must be elsewhere.
So I replaced the diode adapter with a level shifter from Sparkfun. https://www.sparkfun.com/product... and wired it between microcontroller and SD Card. Ringing became more pronounced.
After learning more about the Sparkfun level shifter, I concluded that the gate to source capacitance of the FET (27pf for the BSS138) must be allowing the input to the level shifter to bleed through to its output. To limit that affect, I placed a 100 ohm resistor between the controller's output and the level shifter.
That helped to the point where I can proceed but I also plan on tracking down the board's problem. Yes, I have a 0.1uf ceramic capacitor between power and ground on the tiny861 as well as before and after the regulator. I even placed a set of caps across the high and low level voltage pins in the level shifter - had no affect.
Just using 1K8 and 3K3 resistor to drop from 5V to 3v3 and then relying on the MISO pin to read the 3v3 swing output is not "in spec". However I can say that thousands of devices have been made that do just that and they are fairly reliable.
If you are paranoid you can get a 74LVC1T45 in a SOT23-6 package for that one signal.
It just seems a bit dumb to use a FET based bi-directional translator like the spark fun one to convert signals that are one way only. That sparkfun thing is a solution for I2C. I2C runs at 400Khz mostly. SPI on an SD card can run up to 25Mhz.

Q: Counting executions of batch script I need to count, in a file, the number of times a batch script has been executed.
In linux shell, this would be something like
counter=`cat buildnumber.txt`;
counter=`echo $counter+1|bc`
echo $counter > buildnumber.txt

but how does one do this in a batch file?

A: exactly the same logic, but using batch commands:
<buildnumber.txt set /p counter=
set /a counter +=1
echo %counter%>buildnumber.txt

A: This is my approch to count the number of execution for the batch script :
@echo off
Setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
Title Count the number of times my BATCH file is run
Mode Con Cols=60 lines=3 & color 0E
set /a count=1
set "FileCount=%tmp%\%~n0.txt"
If Not exist "%FileCount%" (
    echo !count! > "%FileCount%"
) else (
    For /F "tokens=*" %%a in ('Type "%FileCount%"') Do (
        set /a count=!count! + %%a
        echo !count! > "%FileCount%"
    )

Migrant Integration Lab is a global European device dedicated to the sustainable integration of migrants and ethnic minorities. Laura Petrache, one of the organizers, answered our questions.
Q: Could you explain to us what Migrant Integration Lab is?
A: The migrant crisis has been one of the most prominent issues faced by European Union. We think it's crucial to be change-makers like us, who are trying to create significant social impact by training migrants to become competitive work force for EU.
The Training Methodology for newcomers and targeted public, but also for the main stakeholders at national level. The training of the main stake-holders & integration facilitators is targeted to successfully manage migrant integration.
A European Network to promote good practices exchange and enable transnational cooperation was formed. This network is based on a Global Ecosystem regrouping national and international actors, stakeholders, institutions working on sustainable integration issues.
A: In short : Migrant Integration Lab within the context of its global awareness campaign initiatives inspired by the Global Goals for Sustainable Development is launching a Citizens Diplomacy International awareness campaign, an open social media dialogue. In today's context as Migration crisis but also the rise of extremism and populism, we need to implement sustainable solutions for migrants' holistic integration.
This year we are teaming up with "Ecole des Ponts Business School" full MBA, young leaders. This project is tailored as to build Positive & Sustainable Social Impact. École des Ponts Business School's?Full Time MBA?is a flagship program for Innovation Management in a global economy.
Q: According to a recent survey, at least 70% of French people refuse to welcome migrants. How do you work to change this reality and get the French to change their views on migrants?
We become "builders of intercultural dialogue" and promoters of a "balanced gender representation and their actions". We are committed to strengthening the ability of the host society to adjust to diversity, increasing the understanding and acceptance, promoting employment for migrant women and sustainable learning for young migrants.
As results, we are forecasting a more vibrant, cohesive society shared and valued by established and newcomer residents of different experiences, histories, ethnicities, and backgrounds but also an increased productivity,?a robust economy through an expanded base of workers, consumers, taxpayers, and entrepreneurs.
By cultivating a thriving ecosystem for social innovation and more sustainable, equitable, and inclusive communities, we can help refugees and migrants socialize.
Q: The question of migrants is a hot political issue. Are politicians involved in this project?
A: In terms of challenges, the most important ones that we are still facing are in France. The fact is that the initiative came because Civil Society members had encountered difficulties concerning institutional actors in France, however the European and international support was very strong.
The problem is that in France most of the actions concerning migrants' are neither aligned, nor sustainable and a real policy of integration is not yet implemented. This is why at local level; in France we are providing a transnational framework. For us integration is a matter of "belonging and becoming", it takes time but we think that the future of Europe is bright and France has something to say about it. (Laura Petrache & Yannick Le Guern).
To achieve a successful integration, the European governments and the European Union and private sector such as banks and institutions, they should support the projects that are built jointly by the locals in partnership with newcomers, and stop supporting the one side solution that is built by only the citizens of the country when they don't really know newcomers' needs, skills, and mindset.
This may stop the waste of inefficient financial support and may unlock the real potential of the newcomers, and create an opportunity for economic grow. Then and only then, programs may help refugees to be an actual part of the society. Special thank you to my mentor Laura Petrache" — Khaled.
"Refugee is just a name and together we can overcome the challenges with our brothers and sisters with that status especially, negative challenges that they are facing in everyday life. This not means by give them a million of euros, but giving them access on how to make their lives sustainable.
All over the world refugees are hustling hard to get access on education and financial protection which is still impossible and there are not many sustainable solutions. From the refugees that I managed to talk with coming from different areas around the globe, yet it's very difficult for us to believe in them because we only think about ourselves and I'm saying this from experience. Since a refugee is not allowed to get a finance loan and be considered an equal citizen, people do not consider them as a human beings who can have access to other services similar to rightful citizens.
If I would wrote an article about this situation and started with introducing myself as Iragi Zabona a refugee from Uganda, few would read it. But still, Migrant Integration Lab gave me a chance to express my feelings and write upon it. Thank you.

House of Lords Media Notices
House of Lords Media Notices - 2015
House of Lords Media Notices - July 2015
Should we give greater priority to upholding the freedom of religion and belief? Lords to debate
On Thursday 16 July, members of the House of Lords, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, the former Chief Rabbi and the Director of the Network of Sikh Organisations (UK) will discuss worldwide violations of Article 18 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They will also debate the case for the UK and the wider international community giving greater priority to upholding the freedom of religion and belief.
Lord Alton of Liverpool, who tabled and will open the debate, said:
"The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was born out of the infamies of the twentieth century - from the Armenian genocide to the depredations of Stalin, Hitler and the Holocaust.
"In response to the persecution of millions of people, targetted because of their religion or beliefs, Article 18 insisted on the freedom of all men and women to cherish and uphold their faith or beliefs - or to change them.
"Seventy years later, from North Korea to Syria - and all over the world - Article 18 is honoured daily in its breach - evident in contemporary concentration camps, abductions, rape, imprisonment, displacement, persecution, public flogging, mass murder, and beheadings.
"The House of Lords debate will be an opportunity to build on the All-Party Report "Article 18 - an orphaned right"; to highlight countries where Article 18 is under attack today; to discuss the clear links between freedom of religion and belief, a nation's prosperity, stability, and the other rights enjoyed or denied its citizens; and to insist on greater political and diplomatic priority being given to upholding Article 18."
Other Members scheduled to speak include:
Lord Bach, shadow spokesperson for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs;
Lord Avebury, President of both the Kurdish Human Rights Project and TAPOL (Indonesian Human Rights);
Lord Sacks, former Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth;
Lord Singh of Wimbledon, Director of the Network of Sikh Organisations (UK);
Lord Alderdice, Chairman and Director of the Centre for Democracy and Peace Building;
Baroness Berridge, Member of the Advisory Council for the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East, and Co-Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Religion or Belief; and
Lord Carey of Clifton, Chairman of World Faiths Development Dialogue.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Sheikh, Lord McFall of Alcluith, Lord Scott of Foscote, Lord Palmer of Childs Hill, Lord Maginnis of Drumglass, Lord Harrison, Baroness Howells of St Davids, Lord Glasman, Lord Anderson of Swansea and the Bishop of Leicester are also expected to take part in the debate.
Baroness Anelay of St Johns will respond on behalf of the Government.

Abstract and Keywords
Walter Scott's historical novel achieved unprecedented success, and almost single-handedly propelled the novel as a genre into the literary field. A potent synthesis of history, romance, theory, and antiquarianism, the Waverley Novels rewrote contemporary modes of historical and national romance through a thematic of the heterogeneity of historical time. They answered to a new historical sensibility in a post-Revolutionary era of expanding readership; helped to forge a new British national identity; and were instrumental in reconfiguring literary culture for their time.
Keywords: historical novel, Walter Scott, literary culture, history and fiction
Ina Ferris, Professor of English at the University of Ottawa, has published widely on nineteenth-century novels and literary culture, and has a special interest in Scott. Her books include The Achievement of Literary Authority: Gender, History, and the Waverley Novels (1991), The Romantic National Tale and the Question of Ireland (2002), and Bookish Histories: Books, Literature, and Commercial Modernity, 1700-1900 (2009), co-edited with Paul Keen.

Home Movies & TV Toronto International Film Festival 2018 TIFF review: Her Smell
TIFF review: Her Smell
Elisabeth Moss goes all in as an out-of-control rock star in Alex Ross Perry's nightmarish backstage drama
by Kevin Ritchie
HER SMELL PLAT D: Alex Ross Perry. U.S. 135 min. Sep 11, noon, TBLB 1; Sep 14, 9:15 pm, TBLB 1. See listing. Rating: NNNN
Our culture derides, fetishizes and capitalizes on out-of-control celebrities, but Ross Perry's latest film challenges the audience to endure trainwreck behaviour like a member of the inner circle.
Elisabeth Moss stars as Becky Something, a fading grunge singer whose self-absorbed behaviour has downgraded her once bestselling trio from arena to club status. Over the first three claustrophobically filmed sections, Moss is a hurricane of cruelty, blood and vomit and Ross Perry and DP Sean Price Williams (shooting on 35 mm) film her backstage tirades at uncomfortably close-range, as if the camera is in the middle of its own tantrum right along side her. The effect is nightmarish.
Her bandmates (Agyness Deyn, Gayle Rankin), a group of proteges (Cara Delevingne, Ashley Benson, Dylan Gelula), manager (Eric Stoltz) and mom (Virginia Madsen) are not spared invective but most manage to stick by Becky. The first three acts are pure chaos, with a soundtrack of low-level noise mingling with the dull roar of the audience outside the dressing room, contributing to a constant mood unfulfilled urgency. The sequences are lengthy and unfold in almost real time (this is anti-slow cinema but somehow the same effect is achieved) and you begin to wonder, Who is this person and how did she get like this? And why are all these people still there?
The final two acts switch to contemplative mode in a jarring tonal shift. By keeping the acts contained to one location save for interstitial flash-backs shot in home movie style, Perry almost removes all outside (i.e. industry) influence in order to sharpen the personal stakes. Moss goes all in from the jump – you have no idea what she's going to do next but can guess it's probably not going to be pretty. Deyn is equally good as a bandmate who both empathizes with and reviles Becky's behaviour. The glamour-grunge wardrobe, hair, makeup and art direction are suitably DIY and spot-on, though not all the relationships feel as flushed out as they could be (Madsen is underused) and the original songs are slight in comparison to the behind-the-scenes insanity.
We often revere women like Becky Something because they reject oppressive societal norms, but Her Smell brilliantly – and I would say, empathetically – shows the personal toll of the perversion of punk idealism and what happens when subcultures are subsumed into the wider culture.

Mathematicians deserving a better web presence
This is an annex to the Index of Mathematicians. The following entries in that index are elusive on the web as people however ubiquitous and important their mathematical work. If you know of a link that I could use in my Index of Mathematicians I would be greatful to hear of it. Better still, contribute an article to Wikipedia, so that everyone may benefit.

T.L. Austin
Was elected to membership of the AMS (600KB pdf) in 1960. His expertise in enumeration is elsewhere found here (1958) and here (1959).
Jillian Beardwood
There are various references on the web to a Jillian Beardwood involved in transport policy-making, which would constitute a curious coincidence were they not referring to the Beardwood of shortest routes fame.
Garland Briggs
He was a student of James Alexander according to the latter's genealogy, being award his PhD in 1927. He was elected to AMS membership in February 1922. He 'belongs' to Sebrell, Southampton county, Virginia, according to this 1925 Princeton yearbook entry. His dates may be 1894–1959 see here, entry 823 and here. Internet searches for his details are hampered by his name being shared with a character in Twin Peaks.
John Wesley Brown
Was at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (and was listed under Emeritus but this seems to have lapsed). His entry at Mathematics Genealogy.
Henry Crapo
Has some details at prabook.com. His entry at Mathematics Genealogy.
Jérôme Dégot
Teaches at Lycée Louis-le-Grand, Paris. His entry at Mathematics Genealogy.
Ketan Delal
Was listed as a former postgraduate/post-doc at McGill. (The listing was posted on Nicholas Sonnerat's page at McGill but he appears to have moved elsewhere.)

Georgy Egorychev
He has a research chair at Krasnoyarsk State University, Russia. Celebrated his 70th birthday in 2008.
Cecil John Alvin Evelyn
An obituary of Evelyn appears in Bull. London Math. Soc., vol. 9, no. 3, 1977. The first page, covering all but a photo and refs, may be previewed for free. A tangential reference can be found on p. 88 of Dürer and Beyond: Central European Drawings Before 1700 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art where he appears to be selling, in 1966, a collection of drawings by Melchoir Lorck, which had been acquired by his family in the 1600s.
Robert E. Fagen
Was awarded a PhD in 1953 at University of Minnesota for a dissertation entitled "Certain probability limit theorems and transformations of stochastic processes."

Dmitry Falikman
He is recorded as having a post at Technion Minerva Optimization Center (although this link no longer appears to mention his name).
Amiel Feinstein
Was with San José State University (1966–1986). He was a PhD student at MIT.

His entry at Mathematics Genealogy. His career took him to Philips in Eindhoven but he has no web presence there. An annecdote by Peter Cameron can be found here who also has a nice presentation (500KB pdf) about its context.
Dick Wick Hall
His entry at Mathematics Genealogy. He is obscured by being (I assume it is the same DWH Jr) the son of a famous humorist of the same name. Some reminiscences of James R.F. Kent including mention of Hall during his time at Binghamton are here. His PhD was at Virginia in 1938 and he supervised at Maryland College Park (reminiscences from that time). It seems he was adopted during childhood, and that he suffered from cerebral palsy.

Published his work on systems of circles in 1886 (Proc. Royal Soc.). Contributed to a book on mathematics of map making by Gerald Maxwell which was (unfavourably) reviewed in The Geographical Journal, Vol. 48, No. 2 (Aug., 1916), pp. 168-170. June Barrow-Green has alerted me to a fairly complete record in the Alumni Cantabrigiensis. There is also a short tribute to him at findagrave.com.
Félix Lucas
His 1879 paper giving the Gauss-Lucas Theorem is online via the French Wikipedia entry on the theorem.
Endre Makai
A link to an obituary.
Willem Mantel
His eponymous theorem dates from 1907 but I know nothing of him at all. I only know his first name thanks to an entry in Knuth's Art of Computer Programming (Pre-facsimmile 2a. A Draft of Section 7.2.1.1 Generating All n-Tuples) which refers on p. 23 to different work by him.

Walter Francis Penney
The year of his death is confirmed here. And birth and death here. There is a probability puzzle known as Penney's Paradox or Penney's Game which was published by a Walter Penney in the Journal of Recreational Mathematics in 1969. This is attributed to W.F. Penney's son Walter Herman in this French Wiki article but it is not clear on what grounds. It seems equally likely, on the evidence given, that it was W.F. as opposed to W.H. who graduated from high school in 1969.
Hazel Perfect

Presumably not the educationalist who was working at the same time. There was a chemist of this name also active and it is plausible that a chemist might have published on tilings. The original article by Robin is available online but gives no affilliation.
Giannantonio Rocca
According to Massa Esteve here (endnote 20) he was a pupil of the Jesuit College of Parma. Paulo Mancosu describes him in Philosophy of Mathematics & Mathematical Practice in the Seventeenth Century as being "close to Cavalieri and Torricelli" and there is a little more on this relationship in this article by Amir Alexander.
William Schneeberger
His entry at Mathematics Genealogy. He was John H Conway's student at Princeton but has seemingly moved on.
George Earl Schweigert
His entry at Mathematics Genealogy. Worked 1947–1965 at University of Pennsylvania.
Dorothy Manning Smiley
She has a comprehensive entry in Judy Green and Jeanne LaDuke's Pioneering Women in American Mathematics: The Pre-1940 PhD's, AMS/LMS, 2009, which can be viewed in googlebooks (provided this link stays active). She has an entry in the Mathematics Genealogy (under Manning). Listed as a 1938/39 scholar at the Institute of Advanced Studies.
Malcolm Finley Smiley
His entry at Mathematics Genealogy .Some details can be found in Green and LaDuke, see under Dorothy Manning Smiley.
Larry H. Thiel
Was publishing from CSE at Concordia University in 2006 but does not appear in staff lists. Graduated BA in Mathematics from Michigan State University in 1967 (see here, p. 54).
John Alfred Tyrrell
His entry at math genealogy. An obituary appears in Bull. London Math. Soc., vol. 43, no. 2, 2011, which my be previewed free here.
Brian Wick
His entry at math genealogy. Taught at University of Alaska Anchorage, where a scholarhip bears his name. He retired in 2010 (Matters Mathematical report by Hans Nordstrom, Seattle Meeting, April 9-10, 2010, online as rtf file).
C.P. Willans
Published her (his?) formula for π(n) from "The University, Birmingham"
Steven Winker
His entry at math genealogy. Got his PhD from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1984. I'm told he left automated reasoning research during the 80s.
Guang Ping Xiang

Have you ever had a lacey cookie?
I had them for the first time when visiting my in-laws a couple of summers ago. They had this package of cookies from Costco - lacey cookies with one side coated in milk chocolate.
Oh. My. Goodness. Best cookies ever. Except that they're impossible to walk past without taking one!
After having them there, of course I started noticing these cookies every single time I went to Costco. A giant container of the most delicious cookies ever, calling my name while trying to buy my groceries. So annoying.
So, I did what any normal person would do and decided to try making them. At least I can make a slightly smaller batch that way, and go with a drizzle of chocolate instead of totally coating them. Way healthier that way. Right? Well, I can pretend at any rate.
Lacey cookies look so fancy, don't you think? Crispy, sweet, thin, wafer-like cookies that taste a bit caramel-y but aren't overly sweet or sticky.
They're so delicate looking and all the little holes make them look kind of fancy. Just me?
Whether you think they're fancy or not, you'll definitely agree with me that they're super easy to make and oh so tasty. I was really surprised at how easy these were to make.
It's a super simple batter that comes together in a matter of minutes on the stovetop, and then all you do is drop it by the teaspoonful on a cookie sheet and bake. They spread out into these super thin, crispy cookies that look like lace. My kids thought it was a little bit magical.
You could totally coat one side of the cookies in chocolate instead of just drizzling it if you want. That would definitely taste fantastic - I'm not ashamed to admit that it's sheer laziness that prevented me from doing just that. Drizzling is just so much faster and easier. I mean it looks prettier. That's it.
It's all about the looks - because fancy cookies need to be pretty.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
In a food processor, process the pecans until finely ground. You should end up with 1/2 cup of ground pecans. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and honey over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring just to a boil and then remove from the heat.
Stir in the ground pecans, flour, salt and vanilla until just combined. Let the batter cool for 4-5 minutes. Drop by the teaspoonful onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 3 inches between the cookies. You should have 6-8 per baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are evenly browned. Let cool on the baking sheet for several minutes until they start to firm up and then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave at 50% power, stirring after every 30 seconds until almost completely melted. Continue stirring until the chocolate is totally melted and then drizzle it over the cooled cookies. Let the chocolate set and then store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days.
