In addition, please follow these general safety guidelines:
1. Take the coronavirus test
If you fall ill, even if you have mild symptoms, go for a coronavirus test and stay isolated until you receive the results of the test. There is a very low threshold for tests – make an appointment for your coronavirus test with your local health centre. Find the contact details for your locality from the section "Ask for advice or book an appointment for a coronavirus test."
2. Maintain a safe distance at all times
Adhere to social distancing rules in shops and public gatherings outdoors and indoors. Try to avoid all public gatherings.
3. Use a face mask
Face masks are recommended in the following situations:
When using public transport
When leaving home for a coronavirus test.
Passengers arriving in Finland from a risk area making their way from the place of arrival to quarantine or who they have an urgent reason to spend time outside the home during quarantine.
In all other situations, with indoor gatherings where close contacts cannot always be avoided.
If you belong to one of the risk groups, in addition to other precautions, use a face mask in shops, public indoor areas, public transport and other similar situations to make sure you are protected. The use of a surgical nose and mouth face mask is recommended.
The use of a face mask shows consideration for others and should be practiced. When the infection situation changes in Lapland, we will provide more recommendations, if necessary.
4. Cough in the correct way
Cough or sneeze into a disposable handkerchief or your own sleeve.
5. Take care of hand hygiene
Make sure you wash or disinfect your hands many times a day. A pocket-sized bottle of disinfectant is easy to carry with you!
6. Monitor the situation
Monitor coronavirus announcements, i.e. the so-called "Corona Status". The coronavirus situation is not yet over, so please monitor how the situation develops, follow the guidelines and act responsibly.

Aleppo, SANA – The people of Ayn al-Arab city northeast of Aleppo on Friday repelled attacks by ISIS terrorists on a number of areas which the locals had recaptured during the past few days, while media outlets reported that the locals regained control of the cultural center the 48th Street.
Local sources from the city said that ISIS terrorist attacked areas controlled by the townspeople after midnight, and clashes continued until the early hours of dawn, with the locals managing to repel the attack and inflicted heavy losses upon the terrorists, in addition to attacking an area where ISIS was gathering southwest of the city.
The sources said that locals also eliminated ISIS concentrations in the village of Minazi southwest of the city and assumed control of the area around the radio tower in the city's western countryside.
Media sources reported that the city is almost clear of all ISIS terrorists except for a small number, and that the terrorists positioned themselves behind Ayn Arab hill and Mashta al-Nour Mountain following fierce battles on Thursday night which forced the terrorists to retreat from the cultural center the 48th Street and retreat 7 kilometers away from the radio building controlled by locals.

Fall weekends are a great time to gather with friends and family and root for your favorite football team. Whether the celebration takes you to a little league field, a professional stadium, or the neighbor's living room, a crowd-pleasing platter of steak fajitas can make it a sizzling celebration. One of the secrets to great beef is meticulous attention to feeding practices. Harris Ranch is one of just a few producers in the country that produces beef exclusively from cattle fed in their own feedlot.


This year was the 3rd running of The Static Monsters. Originally put together as a push/pull competition with the log and a 18″ axle deadlift. It was to add another event to the local strongman calendar on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. 28 Competitors turned up on the day and two big names pulled 400kgs, you know them from their Worlds Strongest Man appearances, Colm Wolfe and Eben Le Roux. It was a success and we wanted to run it again so after a suggestion from Drew Spriggs to open it up as a "flat" competition where everyone competed on the same day, same rules, same equipment, The Static Monsters as it is currently well known began and in year two we had 9 competitions across 3 countries and about 110 competitors.
On the weekend of October 28 and 29 2017, there were 29 events across 10 countries. Initial sign ups were at 35 events in 11 countries but we had a few teething problems and those who missed running events this year will be back next year. 397 competitors took part, 100 women and 297 men across 8 weight classes (also a sub ranking of Masters Competitors).
In the 105's class, the top 5 came from 3 different countries and only had 17.5kgs between them across their Monster Totals.
– Give athletes the opportunity to compete with the best in the sport. Since people all around the world are competing at the same time, same rules, same equipment specifications, they will be able to sit on the same playing field/scorecard as those who are at the top level.
See you all at the Static Monsters World Championships in May 2018.

COVID-19: UK tops 150,000 coronavirus-related deaths since start of pandemic after recorded 313 in last 24 hours
The UK has recorded more than 150,000 COVID-related deaths since the start of the pandemic after the latest daily figures showed 313 further fatalities.
It brings the total number of deaths reported within 28 days of a positive coronavirus test to 150,057.
A further 146,390 COVID cases have also been reported, according to the latest government data, taking the total number since the beginning of the pandemic to 14,333,794.
Live COVID updates from the UK and around the world
Commenting on the number of COVID-related deaths passing 150,000, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the virus has "taken a terrible toll on our country".
"Each and every one of those is a profound loss to the families, friends, and communities and my thoughts and condolences are with them," he added.
He then went on to urge people to get vaccinated, saying: "Our way out of this pandemic is for everyone to get their booster or their first or second dose if they haven't yet.
"I want to thank everyone in the NHS and all the volunteers who have come forward to help with our country's vaccine programme."
'I never saw her again': Family reflect on daughter's coronavirus death
Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer described the figure as a "dark milestone" for the UK.
"Our thoughts are with all those who have lost someone and we thank everyone for supporting the vaccination effort," he said, before calling for a public inquiry to take place to "provide answers" and ensure "lessons are learned".
'We continue to feel frustrated'
The official death toll has caused outrage among some, with the co-founder of the COVID-19 Bereaved Families for Justice campaign, Jo Goodman, saying it shows "yet another indictment of the government's handling of the pandemic".
She said: "We didn't need to be here and bereaved families and the rest of the country need answers as to how we have suffered one of the highest global death tolls.
"This is ever more urgent as deaths from the Omicron variant continue to surge, with little apparently being done to address this. The public inquiry cannot begin its work soon enough.
"We continue to feel frustrated at the use of 28 day figures to portray the death toll when the true figures of those with COVID-19 recorded as a cause of death are significantly higher."
Under that measurement, 173,248 people have died with COVID-19 mentioned on their death certificate.
Government must enforce 'immediate public health measures'
The chair of the British Medical Association (BMA) council called on the government to enforce "immediate public health measures" in response to the country reaching the "sombre and deeply tragic milestone".
Dr Chaand Nagpaul said the official death toll figures were a "stark reminder" that COVID-19 remains "serious and deadly".
"We must not play down the impact of Omicron as a mild illness, especially with increasing numbers of patients being hospitalised," he said.
"Government must do all it can to get control of Omicron with immediate public health measures, not only to protect the health service, but also more people from unnecessarily losing their lives."
The first COVID death
The UK's first reported COVID death was on 5 March 2020, less than three weeks before the country went into its first lockdown.
The woman, in her 70s, was admitted to the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading and tested positive for COVID-19. She died the following day.
However, Britain's first COVID victim died on 30 January 2020 - with his cause of death only discovered seven months later.
Peter Attwood, 84, died the day after Public Health England confirmed what were then thought to be the first UK cases in York, on 31 January.
Which area has reported the highest number of COVID-related deaths?
In the UK, England has recorded the highest number of COVID-related deaths since the start of the pandemic - with a total of 130,493.
Across England, the North West has the most fatalities with 21,089, followed by the South East which has 19,296.
London has reported 17,731 fatalities and the West Midlands has seen 15,596.
The lowest number of deaths have been recorded in the North East, which has reported a total of 7,217, and the only other region to have less than 10,000 deaths is the South West.
What is the global picture?
Only six other countries have reported more than 150,000 virus-related deaths, making the UK the seventh.
It joins the United States, Brazil, India, Russia, Mexico, and Peru in surpassing the total.
The US has by far the most COVID-19 deaths, with 833,996 reported as of Friday 7 January, according to the World Health Organisation.
Only Russia has reported more deaths in Europe than the UK, with 314,604 as of 7 January, while Italy, France, and Germany are the only other countries in the continent with more than 100,000 COVID fatalities.

The Government said it is working with the international community to help relocate people.


Thirty Days of Anime -- Day 15: A reality check for a genre you like.
Most anime that I like would have its reality checks bounce. If I want reality, well, I live in it. The short version of an all-inclusive reality check would be that giant mecha are stupid (any technology that allowed them would be even more effective used in other more conventional weaponry), magic and ki and psi don't exist, human beings CAN'T take that kind of beating and keep going, let alone fully recover, no, it's not possible to be that accurate with a sword or other hand weapon, and Law of Action and Reaction, Baby!
To choose a specific subgenre is hard. There's so many. But I'll choose one and just note that my comments here really could apply to many others, with minor modifications.
And I choose the ki warrior subgenre, which includes DB/DBZ, Naruto, Street Fighter, and in a more general sense most of the superpowered five-team shows like Saint Seiya, YST, Shurato, etc.
Now, this genre can't EXIST without ignoring a lot of reality, so my "reality check" will here be more an "internal logic awareness" check, because THAT'S the part that annoys the hell out of me in this or other genres: saying Stuff That Makes No Sense Even In Your Weird Universe.
The most common of these things is No Sense of Scale; a character (who should be in a position to know) will make a numeric or at least quantitative statement about some aspect of their abilities, and even a cursory examination of the way things then play out show that he was completely full of S**T, or that he was leaving out huge swaths of information which would have made that statement probably a lot less impressive. For instance, in Saint Seiya, Gold Saints are stated to move "At the Speed of Light". Other Saints, even Silvers, are described more as moving at Mach numbers, and not very high ones (maybe in the low 10s).
Lightspeed is about Mach 880,000. We already know what the effects of things moving at vastly lower speeds -- like meteors, going at what might be Mach 50-60 -- are like. So Mr. Lightspeed should DEVASTATE THE CONTINENT just by BLOCKING. Or hell, just by moving at Gold speed.
More, the difference in power and speed between the Golds and the Silvers makes the differences between Silvers and Bronzes, or even Silvers and ordinary overweight geeky human beings like me, look like NOTHING. If a Silver Saint is going at Mach 20, he's 44,000 times slower than the Gold. By human comparison, this is the difference between me having an all-out sprint speed of maybe 15mph, and something that can go all-out and achieve 43 FEET in ONE DAY. A paramecium (a one-celled ciliate) can go at about 1mm/sec -- which is about 7 times faster than 43 feet per day! The fights between a Gold who actually intends to WIN and a Bronze or Silver should be over before either of the lessers even knows it.
Dragonball Z hits other areas of this problem. They introduce a technology called a "Scouter" which produces power readings. Trying to make SENSE of these power readings will give you fits if you think about it too long.
Partly this will be due, once more, to a complete lack of scale understanding. Early on in Dragon Ball, Kame-Senin was confronted by Goku transforming into an Oozaru -- a monstrous, gargantuan monkey-like monster -- which was a werewolf-like transformation. That is, it was triggered by the full moon. Rather than kill Goku, Kame-Senin BLEW UP THE MOON.
Other power feats to that point had included things reaching the level of blowing away a mountain, making craters in the ground, etc. The "MAX POWER KAMEHAMEHA!" wasn't just kicking it up a notch, it was going from bland oatmeal to purified capsicaicin in one swell foop. The amount of power needed to blow up even a minor planet-sized object like the Moon (~2,000 miles across) is absolutely mindboggling. And doesn't fit at all with the power scale we see people throwing around on a daily basis.
But let's say that there's an explanation for this -- maybe non-living matter is SO much more vulnerable to ki-energy that you can destroy the moon with energies that, used against a living opponent, will just end up putting him through a few mountains.
We still end up with the problem of numbers -- because Kame-Senin gets rated so low on the totem pole that he almost doesn't matter at all, and Goku and Vegita hit between 10,000 and 20,000 by the end of their first throwdown -- while Freezer is rated at 100,000, but still seems to have to crank things up to blow up a planet, which Kame-Senin's prior achievement would indicate should be absolutely TRIVIAL by that point.
Scaling affects a lot of things, but in combat shows it's pretty egregious when you have someone take blows clearly capable of knocking down skyscrapers, and be only partially shaken, and then get taken down by being hit with a large rock.
The other area in such super-powered shows that can be very annoying is Never Using Your Resources. Sometimes, as in Saint Seiya, there's a mystical ritualism which constrains the characters from doing certain things (like deliberately ganging up on each opponent) but in many others that's not the case. Moreover, there are many cases in which even a minor application of thought would show you that you could get a lot more bang for your buck by using Power X and Power Y TOGETHER in a particular combination, but no one ever thinks of it. The fact that sometimes these tricks ARE thought of and used (for instance, in Naruto when the fact that Naruto can make HUNDREDS of duplicates of himself that TRANSFER memory and experience BACK to the original when killed or dismissed is used to allow him to train up, and later to scout out capabilities of opponents) just makes the other failures more obvious.
... then he has a society in which there are no guns. But they have bombs. There are no factories, large cities, etc.... and Naruto comes home to switch on the lights in his home using a flat rocker-style switch that implies an immense manufacturing infrastructure. They have CD/DVD players and televisions... but they haven't got phones and long-distance radio, relying on CARRIER BIRDS to bring information from one village to another??
Making high-tech gadgets like CD players implies a *HUGE* amount about your civilization -- its level of advancement and its overall size, and the size of a MARKET necessary to support mass production of such devices. It implies all sorts of precision and control in manufacturing, in the ability to mine and refine metals and synthesize plastics from oil, etc.
But here they are, using 20th/21st century gadgets whenever it amuses them, they have black-powder bombs and explosive runes but no guns, they have power generators for lighting the city and powering all sorts of other things but nary a car nor a plane to be seen. It's INSANE! What, do they have a Summon DVD Jutsu? A Manufacture Power Generator Jutsu? Then why not a B-1 Bomber Jutsu?
Ahh, there, I've gotten all that out. Felt good.

The Lenovo Smart Display has only been on sale a few months and we're seeing its first significant sale for Black Friday. You can use it to stream video, surf the web, play music, and more. It includes Google Assistant built-in and is equipped with 10W full-range speakers, an 8-inch iPS display, dual microphone arrays, and the ability to control over 1,500 connected smart devices. Check out the Android Central review for in-depth information all it's capable of.
All you have to do is provide a saliva sample and send it back to 23andMe's lab and you'll get a detailed breakdown of your ancestry. There are regular promotions on these kits throughout the year across a number of retailers, but this price is around $10 off what we usually see making it a great time to pick one (or more) up.
This video doorbell normally sells for $200 on its own, and the new Echo Dot is $50, meaning this is a savings of $110 when bundling them together. With Ring's video doorbells you can keep an eye on your home from anywhere, and even interact with others at your door right from your phone. The Echo Dot can be used to answer the doorbell and to control tons of other smart home gadgets.

Some of the deals in the ad that are matched elsewhere or see frequent price drops throughout the year, so it's not worth stressing about grabbing them. There are gift card savings for stores like iTunes and Google Play which are fine — I mean, any discount on a gift card is essentially free money — but not exactly blockbuster. The Nvidia Shield TV Gaming Edition will go down to $160, but we've seen it go lower before and the Xbox One S 1TB Minecraft Creators Bundle has a better Black Friday offer at Kohl's.
Doors open at 5PM local time on November 22 for in-store shoppers and will remain open until 1AM November 23. Stores will then re-open at 8AM on Black Friday for more doorbuster deals — the same format we've seen in previous years.

Last fall, Washington County Library launched a new addition to our physical collection – video games! When the games for PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Wii U began circulating in October, we hoped they'd be embraced by current library users and help bring new community members into the library.
Within the first week, 50 games were checked out at each of the libraries with displays, and another 30 games were put on hold through the library catalog.
But one of our favorite stories about the launch of the collection has nothing to do with circulation numbers – it's about how video games helped one young library user connect to all of the resources that are available just by having a library card.
Ten-year-old Anubis and his family have been using Hardwood Creek Library in Forest Lake since the summer of 2017. They live across the street from the library, and are frequent visitors. Although they visit often, for a period of time they avoided getting library cards. The family preferred to use guest passes to access computers, and they didn't use the library collection.
Anubis typically arrived at the library stocked with snacks, grabbed a guest pass, and settled at a computer to play online games or do homework. He never seemed too excited to be at the library, and library staff hadn't been able to engage him. Then, we began circulating video games.
Anubis visited the library the day after video games rolled out and he enjoyed a completely different experience. Before he could make his way to the guest passes, Hardwood Creek Library's new video game display caught his eye. His face immediately lit up!
He asked staff if the games were for sale, and when he learned that they were available to borrow for free he immediately asked his mother for a library card. Anubis chose two games very deliberately (Mortal Kombat and Grand Theft Auto), and his mother gave him permission to check out one.
Since that afternoon, Anubis has begun to happily chat with library staff and regularly borrows not just games, but also music and books. Several days after he received his library card, Anubis convinced his older brother to get a card as well. Now when Anubis visits the library, he is proud to show off his library card!
Anubis poses with his new library card and games he's excited to take home and play.


NYFairUse representatives, costumed as the American Founding Fathers, left the warm comfort of their homes at 4:00 in the morning on March 17th, 2003, to go down to Washington DC. We left for George Washington University in full colonial regalia in a 15-person passenger van. The purpose of our trip was to protest the mismanagement of the EGOVOS conference taking place that morning.
The central issue that galvanized NYFairUse in this situation is the increasingly irresponsible manner in which free and open-source software advocates have been putting together conferences and events. EGOVOS was supposed to be a showcase for free and open-source software in government, be it local, national or international. The conference had the potential to open up a stubbornly closed market by laying out the legal, moral and practical foundations for the use of free software in everyday government operation. Instead, it became a platform and photo opportunity for the Microsoft organization--the inevitable result when the $40 billion company dedicated to destroying free software is invited to make a presentations.
As expected, Microsoft didn't let their shareholders down. The few news items that came out of this conference were about Microsoft's "Shared Source". Microsoft's money buys real loyalty in the technology press, and in a conference with little media coverage the only mainstream press was from E-Week, which ran a full article on Microsoft's misdirections under the headline, "Microsoft's Matusow: No Right Way to Create Software". The article did everything it could to blur the differences between free software and the closed, anti-competitive methods of monopolists. All of this becomes fodder for their next $100 million campaign aimed at every CTO in the nation. Worse than that, it takes food off the table of our free software consulting industry and the developer community it supports. Their presence crippled people who sell free software for a living. It damaged those who could offer the uninitiated (such as the attendees of the conference) a solid, firsthand presentation of the benefits of free software. It leaves the public confused about the benefits of free software in their businesses, jobs and lives.
NYFairUse first heard about the problem with EGOVOS through the NYLXS mailing list, as part of a follow-up on our experiences with the 2003 Linux World Exposition in New York. At the Expo, NYLXS member David Sugar voiced his confusion about his product (the GNU/Bayonne telephony system) losing the award for Best System Integration Software to Microsoft's Services for Unix. NYLXS had its annual dinner after the convention, and we spoke with Linux Journal editor Don Marti about the award and its implications to our membership. Something didn't seem right, but Don offered a reasonable explanation for the turn of events. NYFairUse had an impromptu discussion about the award and about the rumblings coming from SCO that suggested they might be preparing lawsuits against the GNU/Linux community for infringing upon UNIX patents. We decided to keep an eye on upcoming developments on both fronts. A few days later. David Sugar e-mailed the NYLXS list about Microsoft's presentation at EGOVOS.
We quickly had a broad and lively discussion about the situation, with the participation of the Washington DC-area LUGs, developers from California and Canada, members of the Free Software Foundation, NYFairUse, GNU Enterprise, The Open Office Marketing List, a few interested journalists, NYLUG and eventually Bruce Perens (who happens to be a member of the group hosting the EGOVOS conference, the Cyber Security and Policy Institute). I watched my e-mail account fill with hundreds of private messages from people across the east coast, all volunteering to protest Microsoft's inclusion. NYFairUse had an internal discussion and decided that the last thing we wanted was an unwieldy demonstration in front of hundreds of government officials who might be investigating free software for the first time. We need to reverse the trend of Microsoft getting a free public relations boost at the expense of free software developers and advocates, particularly at our own venues, so we decided that NYFairUse would go in with a focused message presented by a small and prepared group. We rejected the calls for a broad and raucous protest: if all the volunteers showed up we would have outnumbered the actual conference participants.
We had to figure out how to attract attention, raise the necessary issues, put the open-source "leaders" on notice and still not turn the conference completely upside down. The answer NYFairUse came up with was exciting, fun and effective. We are fortunate to have associates working on Broadway, and they introduced us to costume designers who dressed us as Colonial Americans, circa 1776. Suddenly everything came together, and NYFairUse was ready to move ahead in a constructive manner. The core of the NYFairUse action included Joe Grastara, Dave Williams, Cesar Vargas, Sunny Dubbey, Adam Kosmin, Tim Wilcox, Marco Scoffier, Vincenzo L., Ray Connolly and myself. Dave Williams and Joe Grastara helped us construct an effective message that became our pamphlet. Ray arranged for transportation and drove both to and from the event, a total of twelve hours. Cesar, Sunny, Ray, Tim, Adam and myself dressed as Founding Fathers. Marco and Vinnie helped everyone prepare. The entire enterprise was underwritten by NYLXS. Most of the participants met in Brooklyn and stayed overnight at my home, where a weekend-long InstallFest was taking place. Ray, as the driver, got several hours sleep while the rest of us made final preparations. At 4:00 AM, NYFairUse embarked on the trip to Washington. We arrived safely at 9:30 in the morning, fully dressed in costumes and ready to make our case.
Upon our arrival at George Washington University, the appearance of seven historic American heroes astonished people, and cameras flashed all around. After we picked up our badges and began handing out our pamphlets, people flowed out of the main auditorium to surround us and inquire about who we were and what we were handing out. We brought 400 pamphlets, and all but a dozen where given away. Each NYFairUse member became a center of attention. We managed to talk personally with nearly every member of the conference accept for Bradley Kuhn, who refused to talk to any of us for some reason.
Our pamphlet strongly condemned the organizers of the conference for not appropriately representing the free software movement and for caving in to self-interest over the good of the community. We explained that they were giving Microsoft a free public relations opportunity to confuse the issues and to promote their "Shared Source" disinformation campaign. The conference itself, although filled with luminaries from the international Free Software Community, was limited in its attendance. During our visit, no more than 500 people were at the presentations, but the numbers might have been closer to 300. The small gathering proved useful, as NYFairUse was able to contact nearly every participant directly. We had nearly 100% penetration of the conference, including both attendees and speakers. Many of us spent several minutes talking to individuals, and I personally had the pleasure of speaking about the problem with European Union Minister Philip Aigrain, whom I had previously met in Bordeaux last year. I also spent a few minutes talking to Georg Greve of the European FSF, David Axmark of MySQL, Sarah Brown from Public Knowledge and many others whose names I failed to get. The same was true for all of the NYFairUse members.
At one point while giving out pamphlets, the security guards came over. Searching for the leader of the protest, one guard approached me and asked who was in charge. I waved him off, and he became very annoyed. He asked me my name, so I smiled and said, "George...like in Washington, and you're in my University." I spotted journalist Grant Gross and said, "Look Grant, they're throwing us out of here!" Grant took out his notepad and the cameras gathered around. The guard retreated and went to speak with Tony Stanco. They decided that it was better to let us proceed than to face the bad press.
A few minutes later Tony Stanco came over to talk to me. I spent a couple of minutes with him, during which he asked me if I got everything I wanted out of the event. I told him that we'll know in a few months, if Microsoft still is getting a free ride courtesy of the Open Source community. Mr. Stanco reassured me that what we were doing was okay. Having his approval was not reassuring. I made it clear that it wasn't our intention to have a blood-letting. Our purpose was to get a message across to the open-source leadership, explaining what we require of them and what standards we expect. Mr. Stanco then pointed to the crowd, saying, "You see these people? You'll never get through to them with screaming and yelling." I replied, "Maybe -- it depends on the need. In this case, we don't need to scream. In another situation, a louder voice might be useful." Mr. Stanco then said, "Have you ever heard Microsoft talk? They're going to be the best promoters of Free Software when they open their mouths." I reiterated my points: Microsoft's presence at the EGOVOS conference takes attention away from other, more deserving individuals and focuses it on themselves. Mr. Stanco refused to recognize the situation he created. He also failed to understand that this was part of a broader trend the community faces: the increasing encroachment of Microsoft in venues designed to sell free software to the public. The public deserves better.
By 2:00 PM, we essentially had spoken to everyone at the conference. We made a lot of contacts, and in addition to handing out pamphlets, NYFairUse members handed out literature about their own government and business projects. In fact we took about 30 folders representing the Free Software Chamber of Commerce, our New York Free Software consultants network. Every folder was given out. We had a long discussion with the head of Hewlett Packard Research in Europe, who was very upset with us because he believed we opposed the commercialization of Free Software. We spent some time explaining how this was not the case, that we were upset because someone was giving Microsoft a free pass to the Open Source movement without making them contribute anything.
The GPL is designed to prevent commercial development of software distributed under the license. It does this largely by requiring licensees to make available, at little or no cost, the entire source code for any program that incorporates any amount of GPL code. Given that requirement, commercial developers cannot recover their research and development investments by charging reasonable and appropriate fees for their original software if it uses any GPL code. Free-software developers have every right to pursue this anti-commercial objective.
Microsoft's concern is the resulting degradation of the software ecosystem that would be triggered by widespread acceptance of the GPL, particularly within the governmental and academic research sectors. This ecosystem has sustained unparalleled innovation throughout the industry for the past quarter-century. The principal role of government and universities in the ecosystem is to undertake basic research and to dispense the findings both into the societal base of technical knowledge and to private enterprises and individuals capable of developing these innovations commercially. Commercial enterprises, in turn, engage in applied research to develop products that advance the state of technology, generating jobs, profits and tax revenues that boost the economy (funding additional basic research in the process). Commercial enterprises also disseminate innovations directly into the larger technical-knowledge base.
Microsoft uses its monopoly to thwart free software projects, such as SAMBA when it bans companies from releasing CIFS tools under the GPL, and when it participates in the Digital Rights Management scam that will end the practical use of free software through the Palladium "trusted computing" platform. But it wasn't Microsoft that we were upset with on this occasion. We are mad at people such as Tony Stanco, who discriminate against free software developers and distributors for their own personal advancement. And we let them know about it.
As a footnote, after our trip to George Washington University, NYFairUse made a trip to Capitol Hill while still dressed in our costumes. We got big smiles all along the halls of Congress, especially at Congressman Weiner's office. He's a member of the the sub-committee on Intellectual Property and the Internet. We have a handshake deal to install a GNU/Linux system in his office, so stay tuned.

Arteriovenózní malformace (AVM) je svazek rozšířených cév, kde tepenná (arteriální) krev proudí přímo do odvodných žil, mezi tepnou a žílou chybí kapiláry. Krev tedy odtéká z tepen přímo do žil.
Tyto malformace se mohou vyskytnout kdekoliv v organismu, v mozku ale mohou způsobit závažné problémy při prasknutí. Tento článek dále hovoří o problematice AVM v centrální nervové soustavě.

Klinický průběh
Projevy AVM se objevují nejčastěji ve věku 15–20 let. AVM působí na mozkovou tkáň útlakem či krvácením - SAK.

Symptomy
SAK, epilepsie, intracerebrální hematom. Letalita na SAK z AVM je nižší než u aneurysmatu.

Diagnostika
Krvácení lze odhalit na CT nebo MRI. Větší neporušené AVM lze zjistit nástřikem kontrastní látky.

Léčba
Riziko dalšího prasknutí po ruptuře AVM je cca 4 % za rok. K vyřazení malformace z oběhu využíváme 3 metody.

 Chirurgické resekce – využívá se u povrchových a menších AVM, výhodou je okamžité vyřazení z oběhu a tím eliminace epileptických příznaků.
 Ozáření gamma nožem – pokud je nidus AVM maximálně 3 cm, lze využít tuto neinvazivní metodu. Nevýhodou je, že AVM nebude vyřazena z oběhu po dobu ještě 1–3 let, tudíž vyšší riziko SAK.
 Endovaskulární embolizace – tato metoda se příliš nevyužívá samostatně.

Sun´s up. And what a difference! I watch my watch thermometer rise from minus a few to plus 20 degrees in about half an hour. Day and night time temperatures can be extreme here and it´s hot when we break camp and leave. Perfect cycling conditons!
We turn into the next valley, rocks and road a riot of variagated colour. Where did this wanderer come from... where is he going to?
He tells us the next town is Ticatica 10 kms distant and they might have bread... We stop for water.
The bread story was just a rumour.
The next pass begins with a sandy crawl up steep switch backs. The way gets sandier and tyres spin and slide. It´s slow sweaty work.
Before entering the next canyon; where the morning sun will not find us, we come across a stone corral and persuade a llama to leave it to us. Camping at 3550m between rocks is a warming luxury and we sleep well having covered an improved 70kms for the day. It´s only minus 6 tonight!

Far Skies Deep Time ist die siebte Studioproduktion der englischen Retro-Prog-Band Big Big Train. Die EP wurde im Oktober 2010 veröffentlicht.

Inhalt
Far Skies Deep Time ist eine Zusammenstellung von Songs, die alle sehr an die Genesis der 1970er Jahre erinnern. Stilistisch reinster Retro-Prog. Am deutlichsten wird dies beim ersten Stück Master of Time, ein Cover einer Anthony-Phillips-Komposition. Dieses Stück erschien als Demoversion auf der CD-Ausgabe des Anthony Phillips Albums The Geese & The Ghost. Big Big Train haben diese Demo zu einem Klassik-Prog-Song veredelt.
Auf dem Reissue 2011 unter dem russischen MALS-Label wurde Master of Time – wegen Lizenzproblemen – durch eine Neueinspielung von Kingmaker ersetzt. Ursprünglich war Kingmaker auf dem Demo The Infant Hercules von 1993 erschienen.
Das zweite Stück Fat Billy Shouts Mine – es handelt von William 'Fatty' Foulke im glanzlosen Jenseits – war für das Album The Underfall Yard komponiert worden, in dieser Aufnahme wirkt Martin Orford (ex-IQ) als Gastmusiker mit. British Racing Green, das dritte Stück, erzählt die Geschichte einer Trennung zur Weihnachtszeit. Auch Brambling ist eine Art Liebeslied, ein wehmütiger Rückblick auf die erste Liebe. Durch leicht jazzige Gitarrenintermezzi hebt sich dieser Song deutlich von den anderen vieren ab. Der abschließende Longtrack The Wide Open Sea (Jacques Brels fiktiver Segeltörn in den Tod) betont noch einmal den Respekt vor und die Einflüsse von Genesis und ist auch eine Verbeugung vor dem Lebenswerk Jacques Brels.

Titelliste
 Master of Time – 07:44 (wurde durch Kingmaker (10:31) auf dem 2011er Reissue ersetzt)
 Fat Billy Shouts Mine – 06:39

 The Wide Open Sea – 17:44

Kritiken

Trivia
Mit einer Abspieldauer von über 40 Minuten schlägt diese EP so manches Album. Big Big Train hat sich trotzdem zur Veröffentlichung als EP entschlossen, um Far Skies Deep Time nicht den Status des Nachfolgers von The Underfall Yard zu geben. Dies soll English Electric werden.

Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow
New York Historical Society Museum and Library
September 7, 2018-March 3, 2019
Kevin Burkman, SSAAM Trustee, August, 2019
On Saturday, March 2, 2019, SSAAM board members Bruce Daniels (Vice-President), Reverend Edwin Lloyd (Chair, Policy & Procedures) and Kevin Burkman (Chair, Technology) visited an important and powerful exhibit at the New York Historical Society, "Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow". The exhibit featured the struggle for full citizenship and racial equality that unfolded in the 50 years after the Civil War.
The period between the end of slavery in 1865 and the end of World War I in 1919 saw African Americans champion their rights as the "separate but equal" age of Jim Crow began. Examining both the activism for and opposition to black citizenship rights, the works of art, political cartoons, photographs, documents, primary accounts, and timeline demonstrated how ideas of freedom and citizenship were redefined by government and citizen action, and challenged by legal discrimination and violence.

1929 Oldsmobile Model F-29 Landau Sedan-DeLux
Oldsmobile was a brand of American automobile produced for most of its existence by General Motors. It was founded by Ransom E. Olds in 1897. In its 107-year history, it produced 35.2 million cars, including at least 14 million built at its Lansing, Michigan factory. When it was phased out in 2004, Oldsmobile was the oldest surviving American automobile marque, and one of the oldest in the world, after Daimler, Peugeot and Tatra. The closing of the Oldsmobile division presaged a larger consolidation of GM brands and discontinuation of models during the company's 2009 bankruptcy reorganization.

Nash Motors (1916 – 1954) was founded in 1916 by former General Motors president Charles W. Nash (1864-1948) who acquired the Thomas B. Jeffery Company. Jeffery's best-known automobile was the Rambler whose mass production from a plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin began in 1902.
The first Nash car appeared in the autumn of 1917. The Nash Model 671 was the first vehicle produced to bear the name of the new company's founder. Nash created a new lineup of cars for the 1918 model year. The new cars were aimed at the middle of the market, and consisted of the 681 (touring), 682, 683 (roadster), 684 (sedan), and 685 (coupe).
Cars of the Club: 1927 Erskine Model 50 Touring
The Erskine was an American automobile brand produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana, USA, from 1926 to 1930. The marque was named after Albert Russel Erskine (1871–1933), Studebaker's president at the time. During his term as president, Erskine encouraged Studebaker engineers to develop advanced engines. As a result, the company achieved numerous racing wins and a bigger share of the upper-price market. This left Studebaker without an entry level automobile in the United States, and Erskine, who had always been fascinated by smaller European vehicles, saw market potential in a short-wheel-base compact car, especially if it could expand Studebaker's presence in the European market.
The first Erskine (Erskine Six) was introduced to the world on October 7, 1926 at the Grand
