Q: What is the benefit of using `aws_secretsmanager_secret_policy` for creating/managing policy for AWS Secrets manager? In Terraform aws provider, we can use the below to attach a Resource based policy to the secrets manager.

*

*Create a aws_iam_policy_document Data resource and attach the same to the secrets manger

*Create policy using aws_secretsmanager_secret_policy for a secrets manager.

I remember the older versions of the provider for e.g 2.7 did not had aws_secretsmanager_secret_policy and we had to use the data resource to attach policy to the secrets manager. Now the latest version supports both.
What is the benefit of using the aws_secretsmanager_secret_policy over aws_iam_policy_document and under what conditions we can choose one over the other ?

A: I think your actual question is about setting the policy attribute on the aws_secretsmanager_secret resource, versus creating the policy as a separate aws_secretsmanager_secret_policy resource.
The main reason you would use aws_secretsmanager_secret_policy instead of setting it directly on the secret resource, is if the secret was created in different Terraform code, or perhaps completely outside of Terraform. For example if you wanted to create a Terraform template to look up all your AWS secrets, and set a policy on all of them.
You can use aws_iam_policy_document with either of these. aws_iam_policy_document is just a way to define IAM policies in Terraform code instead of embedded raw JSON strings.

A: aws_secretsmanager_secret_policy is to create a resource-based policy, whereas aws_iam_policy_document is for identity-based policy. There is a number of differences between them as explained in Identity-based policies and resource-based policies.
The most common scenario where you would use a resource-based policy  is for cross-account access to your secret.

However, what most reports glossed over is that Matt Schultz, who served as secretary of state immediately before Pate, spent a large part of his time in that position attempting to purge voter rolls, spending $280,000 in federal Help America Vote Act funds on a two-year Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation probe of potential voter fraud. The probe continued despite an ACLU of Iowa lawsuit that led to a temporary injunction in September 2012 from a district court judge, who scolded Schultz for starting the investigation so close to an election and risking disenfranchising legitimate voters.
Eventually, the DCI claimed to find 117 instances of illegal voting, although many of the cases were dropped due to lack of evidence of intent — before Gov. Terry Branstad took office and, with Schultz's support, changed voting laws to make Iowa one of the only states to not automatically restore voting rights to ex-felons, many of the allegedly fraudulent votes would have been legal. Even if all cases had been prosecuted successfully, they would still have amounted to a minuscule fraction of total votes cast in the state.
During his tenure as secretary of state, Schultz also unsuccessfully pushed for a state voter ID law, which Pate also supports, despite a lack of any evidence of widespread voter fraud in Iowa or any other state. Such laws, which are often pushed by the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council, are often seen as an effort to disenfranchise voters who typically vote for Democrats.

Home PERSONALIZE What do kids make when you give them a 3D Printer?
What do kids make when you give them a 3D Printer?
Toys? Phone cases? A mess? Or how about an award winning product that helps those with handwriting difficulties to write again?
by Daniel O'Connor
Pencil Grip
It is often claimed that we won't see the true potential of 3D printing until the current (or possibly the next) generation, who are being educated of the technologies' benefits from an early age, get to the point when they are being employed to professionally design products from scratch. The theory goes that these young guns will not be bound by the drawbacks of current manufacturing processes and their creative brains will be allowed to design a product for end-use rather than design for manufacturing.
A story out of Florida Polytechnic of a thirteen-year-old, who has used 3D printing to create a product that helps those with handwriting difficulties, suggests that the theory has some weight.
Christian Herman asked a group of Kindergarten teachers what challenges they face with pupils and a common problem was the handwriting abilities of students at that age because of the varying levels of muscular developments. Armed with the problem Christian decided to create a solution and set about putting together a pencil grip that attaches to a regular pencil.
The first prototype was modelled with clay and then Christian moved onto CAD models and 3D prints in PLA using his schools 3D printer. Those harder material prints proved unsuitable for a product that was designed to improve comfort when handwriting but the young inventor was not deterred.
Instead Christian got in touch with Florida Polytechnic whose MakerBot printers were capable of using a flexible filament that would be perfect for the product's needs:
"My mom and I did some research and learned Florida Poly has the biggest Makerbot 3D Printing Lab in the country," says Christian. "The lab team was really welcoming and excited to help me perfect my product."
Gripping stuff
Working alongside Florida Poly's Chief Information Officer Tom Hull and Instructional Design Engineer Scott Johnson, Christian was able to use the school's 3D printers to develop a pencil grip to begin testing with kindergarten students and teachers. "It was a lot of fun having someone from the next generation of innovators on our campus, utilising Florida Poly as the great community asset that it is," says Tom Hull. "Christian is bright and driven. We simply provided him with the tools he needed and let him do his thing."
His thing seems to be working as Christian's pencil grip won first place in the engineering category at the Polk Regional Science and Engineering Fair in February. Next, he'll compete in the 60th Annual State Science and Engineering Fair of Florida at the end of March. And Christian's aspirations don't end with the state science fair. He has a provisional patent on the pencil grip and is working toward a full patent.
The thirteen-year-old's ingenuity is matched by his entrepreneurial spirit as he has launched a Kickstarter campaign for pencil grip, which has not only had praise from the teaching community but occupational therapists too, who say it is also a perfect solution for elderly people who may also struggle with handwriting.
"I'm really grateful to Tom and Scott at Florida Poly for their guidance and support," says Christian. "My experience at the University really helped take my invention to the next level and has reaffirmed my interest in pursuing a STEM career one day."

On Sunday, Norwegian music producer and DJ Kygo headlined the Ola Sunburn Arena concert at the MMRDA Grounds in Mumbai. And if you 1. love EDM, 2. are between the ages of 13 and 19, or 3. had to chaperone said people between the ages of 13 and 19, then this was the place to be.
While the 26-year-old artiste has previously been to India in 2015 when he played at Goa's Sunburn Festival, this time, Kygo (Kyrre Gorvell-Dahll), made pit-stops in Mumbai and Hyderabad. Artistes like Arsh, Anish Sood and Frank Walker played the opening set and had the crowd warmed up for the finale.
As soon as Kygo stepped foot on the stage, he was met with a loud cheer while the Mumbai Police kept a watchful eye over the event.
The musician, who shot to fame after his mix of Ed Sheeran's I See Fire went viral, payed a homage of sorts by remixing the British singer's latest chartbuster Shape Of You. It turned out to be a delightful experience for the fans in attendance, since the memory of Sheeran's live performance in Mumbai from just a week ago seemed to still be fresh in their minds.

The development of DNA vaccines has been hindered by inadequate immune responses observed in clinical trials. Wang et al. (p. 2860) identified a potential cause of these poor responses by characterizing human serum amyloid P (hSAP) as a negative regulator of human responses to DNA vaccines. hSAP and murine SAP (mSAP) have been previously identified as plasma proteins that bind to genomic DNA in a species-specific manner, but mSAP typically binds more weakly to DNA. The relevance of these binding differences was tested in the present study with a humanized mouse model engineered to express hSAP. Vaccination of hSAP transgenic mice with a DNA vaccine resulted in significantly lower Ab and CTL responses compared with those in wild-type mice. In vitro, a monocyte-derived macrophage cell line had diminished innate immune responses upon treatment with hSAP-complexed DNA compared with DNA alone or mSAP-complexed DNA. Further analysis revealed that formation of hSAP–DNA complexes competitively inhibited the binding of DNA to the DNA sensing molecules high mobility group B protein 1 and LL37, and hSAP-complexed DNA underwent endocytosis and degradation. A chemical SAP inhibitor partially restored innate immune responses to DNA in hSAP-treated macrophages in vitro and in vaccinated hSAP transgenic mice. Thus, hSAP appears to be a suppressor of innate responses to DNA, and hSAP suppression may have the potential to optimize human DNA vaccination.
The development of passive Ab therapies against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is being sought as a potential treatment for immunocompromised individuals and those infected with multi-drug–resistant strains. Earlier studies in mice showed that passive intranasal immunization with a murine IgA specific for the M. tuberculosis α-crystallin (Acr) Ag reduced pulmonary infection. In this issue, Balu et al. (p. 3113) characterized a human IgA1 mAb (2E9IgA1) against Acr that was generated from a single-chain variable fragment selected by Ag panning. In vitro, 2E9IgA1 bound to Acr and the human FcαR1 (CD89) with high affinity. Transgenic mice expressing human CD89 were used to test the immunotherapeutic properties of 2E9IgA1. Intranasal inoculation of 2E9IgA1 together with murine IFN-γ significantly reduced the bacterial load in the lungs of CD89 transgenic mice infected with M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv, compared with littermate controls. Moreover, 2E9IgA1 was able to inhibit H37Rv infection in some whole blood and monocyte samples from human volunteers. Taken together, these results indicate that 2E9IgA1 could be a prospective therapeutic mAb, which may be due to the effects of interactions with CD89.
Negative regulation of T cell activation is initiated in part through engagement of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) on the surface of T cells with its cognate ligand, PD ligand-1. Terawaki et al. (p. 2772) carried out extensive PD-1 promoter analysis to clarify the transcription elements involved in PD-1 expression. Analysis of the 5′ region of PD-1 in the 2B4.11 T cell line revealed that a well-conserved cis-regulatory IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE) was required for PD-1 expression in activated T cells. ISRE-mediated gene expression is usually boosted by type I IFN signaling, and PD-1 expression was significantly increased in TCR-stimulated T cells exposed to IFN-α in vitro or in vivo. A chromatin immunoprecipitation assay indicated that IFN-α treatment of activated T cells induced binding of IFN responsive factor-9, a component of the IFN-stimulated gene factor 3 complex, to the PD-1 ISRE. IFN-α treatment alone was insufficient to induce PD-1 expression, which required TCR stimulation. In addition, treatment of mice carrying tumors with both IFN-α and an anti–PD-1 Ab elicited significant antitumor activity compared with IFN-α treatment alone. These results reveal that IFN-α signaling influences PD-1 expression, and antitumor therapy with type I IFN may be enhanced by PD-1 blockade.
Natural killer (NK) cells adhere to target cells using an array of activating and inhibitory receptors that are expressed on the NK cell surface, but the biophysical nature of this adhesion is not well understood. Hoffmann et al. (p. 2757) analyzed the biophysical force between NK cells and tumor cells at the single-cell level using single-cell force spectroscopy (SCFS) to measure adhesion forces generated by attachment of the NK cell receptor 2B4 to its ligand CD48. The SCFS technique permits measurement of the forces generated when two cells adhere to and detach from each other. Cells from the 2B4-expressing human NK cell line NK92-C1 rapidly adhered to HeLa cells expressing CD48, and a significant increase in force was required to detach the cells from each other as early as 120 s to 300 s after attachment. This rapid adhesion event also involved NK cell-expressed surface LFA-1 and an intact actin cytoskeleton, and is consistent with rapid inside-out signaling events triggered by 2B4 engagement. Overall, these findings reveal the rapid rate at which NK cells adhere to tumor target cells, which is critical to their function as innate cytotoxic cells.
Three different complement pathways can be activated in response to infection, but the influence of each of these pathways during sepsis is not well understood. Dahlke et al. (p. 3066) examined the role of the classical and alternative complement pathways in mice in response to sepsis induced by cecal ligation/puncture (CLP). Survival was significantly reduced, compared with that in wild-type mice, following CLP in C1q−/− or factor D (fD)−/− mice, which have defects in the classical and alternative pathways, respectively. Both C1q−/− and fD−/− mice exhibited a significant decrease in C3 activation, but C1q−/− mice also had significantly higher bacterial loads in the blood, liver, and lung, compared with those in wild-type and fD−/− mice 6 h post-CLP. Monocytes and granulocytes from C1q−/− and fD−/− mice collected 6 h post-CLP were less effective at phagocytosing opsonized Escherichia coli in vitro than were the same cells from wild-type mice. In spite of this defect, fD−/− mice were able to clear bacteria, but these mice also had a significant increase in neutrophil recruitment in the blood and lungs and a dramatic rise in inflammatory cytokine production 24 h post-CLP. These results suggest that the ability of fD−/− mice to control bacterial loads during sepsis comes at the cost of a destructive, uncontrolled inflammatory response and provide evidence that the alternative and classical complement pathways generate distinct responses to sepsis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating lung disease caused by a mutation in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), and is associated with chronic neutrophil-mediated pulmonary inflammation due to recurrent bacterial infections. The T cell Ig and mucin-domain–containing molecules (TIMs) are immunomodulatory molecules that have been linked to asthma and other pulmonary inflammatory conditions. Vega-Carrascal et al. (p. 2897) examined the role of TIM-3 in the inflammatory responses associated with CF. TIM-3 and its ligand, galectin-9, were expressed at a constitutively higher level in CF bronchial epithelial (CFBE) cells compared with normal human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells. In addition, treatment of HBE cells with a CFTR inhibitor induced a significant increase in TIM-3 and galectin-9 expression. TIM-3 localized to the plasma membrane in CFBE cells, and galectin-9 was able to activate TIM-3 signaling and induce secretion of the neutrophil chemoattractant IL-8, which confirmed that CFBE-expressed TIM-3 was functional. Interestingly, TIM-3 and galectin-9 were shown to be degraded in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from CF patients via serine proteases, including neutrophil elastase. These observations provide a new insight into a potential role for TIM-3/galectin-9 in the pathology associated with CF.
CD8+ T cell responses are fundamental to controlling acute viral infections, but the signals essential to effector CD8+ T cell survival and memory CD8+ T cell formation are not completely known. Previous studies have repeatedly demonstrated that CD4+ T cell help supports CD8+ T cell survival, and this present study by Novy et al. (p. 2729) demonstrates that IL-21 produced by activated CD4+ T cells significantly enhances CD8+ T cell survival in vitro. IL-21 signaling was also required in vivo for mice to generate effective virus-specific CD8+ T cell responses upon vaccinia virus infection. Whereas effector CD8+ T cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation did not require IL-21, survival of these activated cells and memory CD8+ T cell formation were dependent on intrinsic IL-21 signaling. Additional studies in vivo confirmed that CD4+ T cell help supported CD8+ T cell survival through IL-21–driven activation of STAT1 and STAT3 and increased expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL transcripts. These observations elucidate the importance of IL-21 signaling in CD8+ T cells for the development of effective antiviral responses, which supports further exploration into the use of IL-21 to augment vaccine and cancer immunotherapy strategies.
Neutrophils can curb pulmonary Aspergillus fumigatus infection by phagocytosis of fungal conidia and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated killing of fungal hyphae. Boyle et al. (p. 2978) dissected the signaling mechanisms essential to NADPH oxidase production of ROS by hyphae-exposed neutrophils. Treatment of murine bone marrow neutrophils (BMNs) with a variety of PI3K inhibitors upon exposure to A. fumigatus hyphae revealed that NADPH oxidase activity required the class IA PI3Ks, PI3Kβ and PI3Kδ. These kinases also supported neutrophil spreading on the hyphal surface, and the accumulation of class I PI3K lipid products was observed in the region of the neutrophil plasma membrane in contact with the hyphal interface. ROS activity was significantly lower in BMNs from mice lacking the β2-integrin subunit CD18 in response to A. fumigatus hyphae, compared with wild-type BMNs. Further analysis revealed that the tyrosine kinase Syk and the Vav family of Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factors were required for activation of neutrophil ROS responses. These findings better define the signaling events required for ROS production in response to A. fumigatus hyphae, but further studies are needed to understand the relationship between these different signaling components.

Q: Microsoft Excel - Count the number of values each name has in a single column I have a CSV file containing 100,000 rows.
Each row consists of information under a number of columns, such as "Date", "Page Accessed", "Page Type", "IP", "User Surname", "User Forename", "User Login", "Profile".
A few example rows may therefore look like:
A        B            C        D           E     F  G    H
18:48:42 Home Drive   web page 90.90.90.90 Gill  C  cgi  Teachers

20:48:42 Dashboard    web page 90.90.90.90 James R   rj   Teachers

22:48:42 Shared Drive web page 90.90.90.90 Gill  C   cgi  Teachers

These rows are an individual hit on our Virtual Learning Environment.
I would like to determine how many times each user has made a hit on our VLE.
As such, I would imagine that I need to get excel to count the number of times each User Login appears in the list of rows where Teachers, Staff or Administrator is the value for "Profile".
What's the easiest way of going about this?
I'm using Microsoft Excel 2010.
Thanks in advance,

A: To use a Pivot Table:
Import your data into an Excel workbook and add the column titles if they are missing.

Select a cell in the data and then click Insert -> PivotTable. A Create PivotTable dialog box will display. Make sure it correctly selected your entire range and click OK.
It will add a new sheet to your workbook with the PivotTable Field List displayed on the right. (If it is missing, click the Show Field List button on the PivotTable Tools Options tab.)

Drag fields to the appropriate part of the pivot table. i.e.

*

*Profile field to Report Filter

*User Login to Row Lables

*Date to Values  (After you move it, if it doesn't says Count of Date, then click the drop-down arrow, select Value Field Settings and change Summarize Values By to Count.)

That will give you a pivot table that looks like this.

To see a count for each Page Accessed, drag that field to Column Labels.

Feel free to explore and play with the PivotTable. Move things around, add more fields to Row Labels or Column Labels etc. If you can't figure out how to do a specific thing, ask another question.  :-)

A: Without really seeing how it's set up and showing you how to do a pivot table, this formula will count for you.
=SUM(COUNTIFS(H:H,"cgi",G:G, {"administrator","staff","teachers"}))

You could also select the data go to insert - pivot table and put column H as row labels and column g as column labels and put column g in the sum of values field, but change it to count instead of sum by clicking and selecting value field settings

A: say Profile is in column H
code formula in column I2 "=IF(OR(H2="tEACHERS",H2=sTAFF",h2="Admin")),1,0) - this flags the entries you want with 1, 0 otherwise.
sum column I for total

Q: Is the places API not able to retrieve specific places? I'm building an app that I'd like to integrate with the Places API. It is built on a constrained list of places that I will be adding and allowing users to "bump" as well see/add reviews and photos, etc. I'm looking for a way to add those places and then retrieve them without seeing anything outside of my constrained list. The documentation indicates that IDs or references are not stable, nor can I add a unique place type. Does that mean my design is simply impossible?

A: As mentioned in the Google Places Video demonstration you can add and retrieve custom places using "types": ["other"] as this type is not used for any places in our data.

Q: Facebook messenger platform: generic template with quick replies I was looking at some pretty popular bots like "The Guardian" and i noticed that whenever you get a generic template reply from it it also displays some quick reply buttons (see the photo attached). How did "The Guardian Bot" achieve this? How he combined quick replies and a generic template? It must be two messages involved.

A: This worked for me in Dialogflow, return similar Json Object in backend to achieve the result:
 {
  "facebook": {
    "attachment":{
      "type":"template",
      "payload":{
        "template_type":"generic",
        "elements":[
           {
            "title":"Welcome!",
            "image_url":"https://petersfancybrownhats.com/company_image.png",
            "subtitle":"We have the right hat for everyone.",
            "default_action": {
              "type": "web_url",
              "url": "https://petersfancybrownhats.com/view?item=103",
              "webview_height_ratio": "tall"
            },
            "buttons":[
              {
                "type":"web_url",
                "url":"https://petersfancybrownhats.com",
                "title":"View Website"
              },{
                "type":"postback",
                "title":"Start Chatting",
                "payload":"DEVELOPER_DEFINED_PAYLOAD"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    },
     "quick_replies":[
      {
        "content_type":"text",
        "title":"Search",
        "payload":"<POSTBACK_PAYLOAD>",
        "image_url":"http://example.com/img/red.png"
      },
      {
        "content_type":"location"
      }
    ]
  }
}

A: Quick replies are usually  accompanied by a 'text' property that sends a text message before the quick reply. It appears you can substitute any template for that. For example, here is the request body for a generic template carousel with quick replies:
{
  "recipient":{
    "id":"{{PSID}}"
  },
  "messaging_type": "response",
  "message":{
        "quick_replies": [
      {
        "content_type":"text",
        "title":"Quick Reply 1",
        "image_url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fbsamples/messenger-platform-samples/master/images/Messenger_Icon.png",
        "payload":"payload1"
      },
      {
        "content_type":"text",
        "title":"Quick Reply 2",
        "payload":"payload2"
      }
    ],

    "attachment":{
      "type":"template",
      "payload":{
        "template_type":"generic",
        "elements":[
          {
            "title":"This is a generic template",
            "subtitle":"Plus a subtitle!",
            "image_url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fbsamples/messenger-platform-samples/master/images/Messenger_Icon.png",
            "buttons":[
              {
                "type":"postback",
                "title":"Postback Button",
                "payload":"<POSTBACK_PAYLOAD>"
              }
            ]
          },
          {
            "title":"Another generic template",
            "subtitle":"Plus a subtitle!",
            "image_url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fbsamples/messenger-platform-samples/master/images/Messenger_Icon.png",
            "buttons":[
              {
                "type":"postback",
                "title":"Postback Button",
                "payload":"<POSTBACK_PAYLOAD>"
              }
            ]
          },
          {
            "title":"And another!",
            "subtitle":"Plus a subtitle!",
            "image_url":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fbsamples/messenger-platform-samples/master/images/Messenger_Icon.png",
            "buttons":[
              {
                "type":"postback",
                "title":"Postback Button",
                "payload":"<POSTBACK_PAYLOAD>"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

A: I have implemented the bot in nodejs and I am using a node module called messenger-bot which makes it easier to call the messenger bot API. Here's my customized code for you
const http = require('http')
const https = require('https')
const Bot = require('messenger-bot')
var bot = new Bot({
    token: 'your FB app token',
    verify: 'VERIFY_TOKEN'
})

bot.on('postback', (payload, reply) => {
    var postback = payload.postback.payload;
    if (postback == "yes") {

        function getQuickReplies() {
            console.log("in next function");
            var quick_list = {
                "text": "Check the next article?",
                "quick_replies": [{
                        "content_type": "text",
                        "title": "More stories",
                        "payload": "more stories"
                    },
                    {

                    }

                ]
            };
            bot.getProfile(payload.sender.id, (err, profile) => {

                }
            });
        }

        });

        getQuickReplies(); //to avoid async execution issue, we will have to put this in a function.

    }

Hope this helps! Happy coding ;)

Life is complicated, but daily pill schedules don't have to be. We're excited to introduce our readers to an easy app for Android or iOS, that ends the double dosing or pill skipping woes. It's confusing and frustrating not to remember if you took medicine or not, and it's happened to me more times than I can count.
Medisafe brings peace of mind to the 2 million people who use it, as well as the people who care about them.
Medisafe makes order out of chaos. Relieve Medication Frustration!
I'm a member of the sandwich generation, adults with aging parents and dependents still at home. Our family has two children and 5 grandparents in their 70's. At this juncture, our respective parents have to remember a medicine chest full of pills on a daily basis, at a time in life when memory is sometimes unreliable. I've been out with my parents many times as their phone alerts buzz and they remind each other it's medication time.
I recently had a bout with chronic hives myself and had to take 14 doses of various antihistamines daily. I'm a busy mom of two, running my own business, and it was tough to remember to take my own pills on time, and whether I'd done it yet or not, multiple times a day, and I'm a generation younger! And lookout if the kids get sick and need meds on regular intervals. That responsibility falls on overworked parents too!
Medisafe has a safety net. It reminds the patient to take their pills, and if they may still miss it, the app can be set to remind loved ones too, kind of like a failsafe human snooze alarm.
It's said necessity is the mother of invention, and the Medisafe app sprung from two brothers' desire to help their diabetic father manage his health and medications better.
We trust Medisafe, as it's THE leading app for managing even the most complicated medication schedules and more. Medisafe connects you to your family (and soon, your doctors) for support, encouragement and expertise. It learns about your unique situation, so it can deliver custom notifications for appointments and refills, medication updates, personalized health recommendations and discounts to help you stay in control, informed and on budget. And it correlates your progress with measurements like blood pressure and glucose levels to show the direct health benefit of taking your meds as prescribed.
I've tried Medisafe for my own family and it works like a charm for uncomplicating our meds regimes. I can rest assured everyone's staying healthy and not accidentally missing or doubling doses, and we can all get back to the rest of our busy lives.

On Baselines That Need Shifting
Volume 2 | Issue 1 | Page 14 | January 2011
By Daniel Pauly
Ivan Walsh
A fish farm in Shanghai, China.
A flurry of articles in recent years shows that loss of knowledge about the past may have contributed to an acceptance of other losses, such as declines in biodiversity. I first identified this form of collective amnesia in a 1995 article describing how fisheries biologists assess changes in biomass abundance. Every generation begins its conscious life by assessing the state of the world and society around it and using what it sees as a baseline to evaluate changes that occur subsequently.1
However, the baselines of previous generations are commonly ignored, and thus the standard by which we assess change also changes. I called this phenomenon "shifting baselines."
For example, those studying wildlife today might be impressed by the abundance of large wild mammals (bears, wolves, various herbivores) in Alaska, while being unaware that such numbers were at one time common in the lower 48. Therefore, they might not miss the large animals there and might look askance at efforts to (re)introduce previously abundant species.
The shifting baseline phenomenon has been well documented in marine science, including fisheries research. For example, there are many cases where the law mandates rebuilding fish populations to the level prevailing, say, 20 years before, although populations were already depleted by then, at least as compared to 50 years earlier. Indeed, it is only by combining the declines noted by successive generations that we can get a full appreciation of the great loss of biodiversity that has occurred in the sea and on land due to the impact of humanity.
But shifting baselines need not be associated with losses. Indeed, forgetting can be a good thing. When people who have suffered under the load of a long, stifling tradition emigrate and thus are enabled to distance themselves, both geographically and emotionally, from the ancestral conflicts that in their home countries confined them within balkanized camps, a positive shifting baseline occurs in the generations that follow.
Positive shifts in baselines also occur after social change. One example is smoking in enclosed public spaces, which was ubiquitous in the 1960s. At the time, change seemed impossible, and the stranglehold that the tobacco industry had on our legislators seemed unbreakable. Then, somehow, anti-tobacco activism, medical science, and common sense coalesced into an unstoppable force—let's call it the Zeitgeist—which overcame all resistance, first in the United States, then in Europe, including France (France!). Now we look back, and our baseline—and especially that of young people—has so shifted that we do not understand how we ever accepted smoking in tight public places. We have collectively forgotten how it felt (and smelt) and how we could even tolerate it—just as we have collectively forgotten how it was when the majority of people were farmers or, even earlier, hunter-gatherers surrounded by nature that teemed with a diverse animal and plant life.
Similarly, in our culture, it now seems impossible to even imagine that women and minorities could not vote, attend universities, or become elected politicians. In fact, in the West, the very act of questioning these social advances defines fringe culture, just as denying evolution or climate change defines fringe science. Similarly, our baselines have shifted so much that we have forgotten the once powerful notion that there are special people, kings and queens and their broods, which should rule us because a deity said so.
Getting back to earth: for baselines to shift is not always bad. There are stupid things that must be forgotten even if they have been the rule for thousands of years. Getting rid of these notions is similar to detoxifying ourselves, freeing our minds to be able to concentrate on things that matter, including those "old" things that we should remember. One of these old things is that what we eat should be healthy. We do not need to eat the abject stuff that now passes for food, but would certainly not be recognized as such by our ancestors. Other old things are that we shouldn't be surrounded by pollutants of various kinds, and that we shouldn't accept that sprawl should eat up natural landscapes, and that we shouldn't allow out-of-control fisheries to eat up the ocean.
Indeed, reversing the present destructive trends induced by large-scale, industrial fisheries—which is possible under a regime in which fuel energy costs its true price—would lead not only to more plentiful, larger fish for coastal, small-scale fisheries to catch, but to a world in which fisheries could coexist with whale watching and other forms of coastal tourism. It would be a world in which people could acquaint themselves with the sea as the wondrous habitat of the many life forms that we may eat as seafood or just enjoy for being there.
In other words, we want the bad old things to shift away and the good old things to shift back into focus.

After a rough start, the Old Rochester Regional High School/Fairhaven boys hockey team is playing strong in the stretch before the playoffs. A 3-1 win over Wareham/Carver on Sunday night has the team hoping a tournament berth will follow.
This season marks the first with Jancaterino, a physical education teacher at the school for 21 years, at the helm. He took over for longtime coach Eric Labonte who ushered the team to multiple division championships during his tenure. Jancaterino noted the team's record was 3-7-0 at one point.
"We weren't having much success," he said.
However, that changed over the past few weeks as the team skated to four wins in seven games.
The team's record is now 7-7-3 with playoffs starting on Feb. 25. The team needs to earn three points in the next three games to secure a playoff spot, though.
"It's going to be difficult because we'll be facing Division 2 teams," said Jancaterino. ORR/Fairhaven is a Division 3 team.
Sunday's game had the team leading the entire time. ORR/Fairhaven scored in the first period and twice in the third, once on an open net as Wareham/Carver attempted to tie the game with less than 1 minute left.
The team's next game is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 17 against Plymouth South at Tabor Academy. The puck drops at 7:15 p.m.

Cult Corner: Halloween III – Season Of The Witch
Posted on October 29, 2016 by reelsteelcinema
1982 – USA
Director: Tommy Lee Wallace
Starring: Tom Atkins, Stacey Nedkin, Dan O' Herlihy
Words: O. Innocent
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch has got to be one of the most audacious sequels in horror movie history; jettisoning (almost) everything that made the first two Halloween movies such big box-office draws, it's purporting to be a sequel while at the same time having absolutely nothing to do with it predecessors inevitably lead to critical and commercial woe. The result of producer John Carpenter (he gave up the directorial reigns after part one and distanced himself from the series completely until a producing credit on comeback Halloween H20), tired of further pursuing the Michael Myers-centred stalk and slash, wanting to broaden the scope of the series by having each subsequent film be a standalone feature centred around the concept of Halloween. This was a daring but ultimately stupid (at the time at least) move, Carpenter's plan for more standalone Halloween films falling by the wayside while Halloween 3 fell into cult movie obscurity.
However, taken on its own merits as a standalone feature, Halloween 3 reveals itself to be a brilliant little horror thriller in its own right. It focuses on everyman hero Dr. Daniel Chalice who uncovers Irish toymaker and megalomaniac Conal Cochran's dastardly plot to sacrifice America's unsuspecting trick or treating kids by wielding the power of Stonehenge, a TV commercial with the most annoying jingle you've ever heard, and deadly Halloween masks! Utterly bonkers yet surprisingly unsettling, Halloween 3 definitely has to be seen to be believed. Aside from the barmy but chilling premise, perhaps the film's biggest asset is its intense leading performance courtesy of cult movie icon Tom (The Fog, Maniac Cop, Night of the Creeps et al) Atkins. It's to both the filmmakers and Atkins' credit that his character isn't just another cardboard cut-out hero. Playing it more down to earth, the guy isn't perfect by any degree, bailing on his ex-wife and kids for the Halloween holidays for a jolly jaunt with a pretty young girl nearly half his age. Yet despite, or perhaps because of, his foibles, he's still an endearing character we want to root for as he desperately tries to do the right thing at the haunting climax.
The directing and editing is also spot on, director Tommy Lee Wallace, obviously inspired by his Carpenter tutorage, going for a menacing, unsettling style with gliding, prowling camera pans juxtaposing short, sharp jump shocks. Carpenter once again provides another of his trademark synthesiser scores, perfectly setting a paranoid, disconcerting tone. Further upping the ante, there's also some surprisingly nasty gore and controversial images such as a child's head being crushed by a mask, bugs and snakes crawling out of the remains while his parents scream on, shocked and bewildered. Then there's the nihilistic, gut wrenching ending – one of the most memorably chilling in the entire series – where Atkins screams down the phone for the last deadly commercial to be stopped, only for the screen to abruptly cut to black, leaving us with a bitter aftertaste as we contemplate the pitch-black consequences of Atkins simply being too late to prevent the final mass sacrifice. Not just another Michael Myers stalk and slasher then; Halloween 3 is a tremendous, weird, affecting one-off that is ripe for rediscovery. Be sure to add it to your viewing list this Halloween.

Harry Rose was a character. It wouldn't take long for anyone meeting him for the first time to come to this conclusion. I certainly knew this to be true the minute I met him. I also instinctively knew that we were destined to get along together. From the moment his lips parted revealing a single gold tooth, I warmed to him. It looked so incongruous, dwarfing as it did all his other teeth and dominating the centre of his top jaw. But it was obvious too that Harry was extremely proud of it.
Harry was also short, around 5 feet 4 inches in his platform cowboy boots. But he acted as though he was tall. And there was no denying his ever-ready smile, his generous spirit and his ever present eagerness to please. Harry had acquired the attributes in life to be everyone's best friend. His less endearing qualities, if he had any, included an awe-inspiring facility for recalling some of the most intimate details of his sexual habits and boasting about them to whoever cared to listen. His other less endearing trait was to constantly flex his custom-built biceps, lavishly illustrated by an assortment of cheaply tattooed love hearts and waving his glossily manicured fingers around despite the fact that his broad mechanic's hands were usually encrusted with a congealed mixture of grease, nicotine, Swarfega and engine oil.
I soon found out that it didn't take much to make Harry happy. As long as people around him were happy then he, too, was cheerful. He had also acquired, though I'm sure more by accident than design, the enviable gift of being able to say just the right things to the right people at the right time – the things people most wanted to hear.
And so Harry arrived at my flat one autumn afternoon looking about as immaculate as he ever could be, kitted out in a pair of form-hugging blue jeans, a crisp white T shirt, platform cowboy boots which, in spite of their venerable age, had been buffed to a high polish and his favourite sky blue leather bomber jacket.
"Uh, uh, it's me, 'Arry Rose…" he stuttered through my intercom, "I've, er, come to pick up the stuff for Bosnia, right?"
"Oh, thanks Harry, I'll be right out, " I said, "Hang on a second."
And through the glass doors I could make out the slightly comical, slightly distorted image of Harry standing on my doorstep, nonchalantly leaning up against the door jamb, a post both shy and cocky, squinting against the late afternoon sun, a fresly-lit cigarette dangling from his manicured fingers. As I approached I could see him casually flicking the ash over the railings into the basement below. His studied posture and his expression of intense concentration reminded me of a diminuitive caricature of Marlon Brando in one of his early screen roles. That immortal moment when the actor appears on the verandah of Anna Magnani's Mississippi shop, a drifter guitarist in search of a job, casually wearing a tight-fitting snakeskin jacket, in Tennessee William's excellent and unforgettable melodrama, "The Fugitive Kind."
I opened the door and there on the threshold was the real Harry. It didn't take me an instant to realize that this was West Kensington, not sourthern Mississippi. I was no earthy Anna Magnani simmering with volcanic passion. And there was no way on earth Harry, in either looks or stature, could ever be mistaken for the brooding, young Marlon Brando, oozing sexuality and smoldering anger. Nor could Harry's much loved, much worn sky blue leather bomber jacket be compared in any way to the drifter's figure-hugging snakeskin jacket.
I was about to let Harry in on my cinematic daydream but then he drew himself up to his full height on his platform heels, gripped my hand, grinned from ear to ear, his single gold tooth proudly sparkling in the evening sun and the moment and the image evaporated. Later I thought perhaps I should have told him. It would almost certainly have been the first and the last time in Harry Rose's life he had been compared to the incomparable Marlon Brando! Although, knowing Harry as I do now, he would have thought it quite natural that a woman would mistake him for one of the twentieth century's most enduring sex symbols.
Behind Harry stood an ageing Doge, brightly hand-painted in blue and white. This, then, was Harry's trusted vehicle which would bring him and my supplies to Bosnia. I fervently hoped it would drive more smoothly than its shabby exterior suggested.
"OK, let's go to work then," I said, shaking his hand. "I hope you're prepared…There's an awful lot of stuff."
"Don't you worry about me!" Harry flexed his bulging biceps. "These have never let me down yet!"
It took us over two hours to haul the supplies out of my flat and into the rear of the ageing Dodge as Harry regaled me with intimate details of his sexual escapades. Halfway through the operation it occurred to me to enlist the help of several bemused onlookers, my neighbours and the resident porter, who were standing around curiously watching our activities and giggling at Harry's verbal barrage of erotic anecdotes. I asked them to form an assembly line between my flat and the Dodge and, hastily barking out orders like a sergeant major, I managed to sped up the process considerably.
When, finally, everything was neatly stacked into the back of the truck, when the helpers had drifted away still chuckling from the memories of Harry's sexual fantasies and when the Doge was securely padlocked, I invited Harry in for some refreshment before he set off on the road.
It's in Harry's nature to be garrulous, more so, I discovered, after a glass or two of his favourite Merlot. He couldn't help marveling at the sheer amount of supplies I had not only managed to collect for charity but had been able to squeeze inside my somewhat cramped flat.
He kept repeating, "It's a bloody miracle, I can't believe it, Caroline, 'onest. I just can't believe it 'ow much you hot in'ere!" He shook his head in disbelief, "And you collected it all in four weeks! Must be some of bloody miracle!"
He paused briefly, swallowing the last dregs of his Merlot, "Now did I tell you about Maria, this Slovakian girl I met last week?"
I shook my head. "You mentioned Anna and the tennis racquet, I think it was. And Lizzie and Angela in the shower. And Tracey and her twin sister in the garage..But Maria, no, I don't think so."
Harry grinned, flashing his gold tooth. "Ah, the beauteous Maria," he sighed. "Shall I tell you what 'er and me did in the basement of 'er building right beside the central 'eating boiler?"
"No Harry, I think not!" I laughed, "I am sure I can guess!"
Harry looked distinctly disappointed. "Well, another time then, huh?"
"Another time," I agreed.
"Well, in that case I'd better be off now!" He rose from the sofa, smoothed down his thigh-hugging jeans, pulled on his sky blue leather bomber jacket and reached out to shake my hand again.
"Good to meet you, Caroline." He flashed his gold tooth and teetered towards the door on his platform cowboy boots. "Rest assured all these goods will go to the poor little kiddies in Bosnia!"
Impulsively I leant towards him and kissed his cheek. "I know they will, Harry," I said. "I know they will."
It's hard to believe what an appalling judge of character I was. For, alas, Harry Rose did, after all, turn out to be like the drifter guitarist Marlon Brand – one of the fugitive kind.
For that was the last I ever saw of Harry Rose, his sparkling gold tooth, his platform cowboy boots, his sky blue leather bomber jacket, his lavishly illustrated biceps, his manicured fingernails, his ageing handpainted blue and white Dodge and , most sadly of all, the charity supplies for the refugee children of Bosnia.

A: As you may know, Bootstrap 4 is still in alpha. This is a known issue:
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/17194
This issue has been fixed as of Bootstrap 4 beta, and therefore works on all the latest versions.

Robert Palmer : Music & Style
Site non officiel mais le plus complet dédié au chanteur britannique disparu / Non official but most complete site dedicated to the late great British singer
The Islander: My Life In Music And Beyond
Publié le 8 novembre 2021 par olivier
Titre : The Islander: My Life In Music And Beyond
Auteur : Chris Blackwell (with Paul Morley)
Date de publication : 31 Mai 2022 (US) / 2 Juin 2022 (UK)
Editeur : Gallery Books (US) / Nine Eight Books (UK)
Type : Essai
In The vein of Sound Man and The Soundtrack Of My Life, a lyrical, warmhearted and inspirational memoir from the founder of Island Records about his astonishing life and career helping to bring reggae music to the world stage and working with Bob Marley, U2, Grace Jones, Cat Stevens and many other icons.
Chris Blackwell, like the paradigm-shifting artists he came to support over his sixty-plus years in the music business, never took the conventional route. He grew up between Jamaica and London, crossing paths with Ian Fleming, Noel Coward, and Errol Flynn. After being expelled from an elite British school for rebellious behavior in 1954 at age seventeen, he moved back to Jamaica, and within five years, founded Island Records—the company that would make an indelible mark on music, shifting with the times, but always keeping its core identity intact.
The Islander is the story of Blackwell and his cohorts at Island Records, who time and again, identified, nurtured, and broke out musicians who had been overlooked by bigger record labels, including Steve Winwood, Nick Drake, John Martyn, and Cat Stevens. After an impromptu meeting with Bob Marley and his bandmates in 1972, Blackwell decided to fund and produce their groundbreaking album Catch A Fire. He'd go on to work with Marley over the rest of his career, remain his close friend, and continually champion Jamaican culture and reggae music.
In the ensuing years, Blackwell worked with U2, Grace Jones, the B-52s, Tom Waits, Robert Palmer, Tom Tom Club, and many other groundbreaking artists. He also opened the first Jamaican boutique hotel, on the property of Ian Fleming's former home, Goldeneye, where all the James Bond books were written.
Blackwell is a legendary as well as deeply humble raconteur, and reading The Islander is like spending a day with the most interesting man in the world.
Chris Blackwell is the founder of Island Records, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and is credited with being responsible for turning the world on to reggae music. Blackwell spent his childhood in Jamaica and founded Island Records at the age of twenty-two. He went on to forge the careers of Bob Marley, Cat Stevens, Grace Jones, and U2, among many other high-profile acts, and produced records including Marley's Catch A Fire and Uprising. Blackwell currently runs Island Outpost, a group of elite resorts in Jamaica and Florida, which includes Goldeneye—the former home of author Ian Fleming.
Paul Morley is a writer, broadcaster, and cultural critic who has covered music, art, and entertainment since the 1970s. A founding member of the electronic collective Art of Noise and a member of staff at the Royal Academy of Music, he is the author of a number of books about music including the bestselling The Age Of Bowie and A Sound Mind: How I Fell In Love With Classical Music And Decided To Rewrite Its Entire History. He collaborated with music icon Grace Jones on her memoir, I'll Never Write My Memoirs and his two most recent books are biographies of Bob Dylan, You Lose Youself, You Reappear, and Tony Wilson of factory Records, From Manchester With Love.

ICELAND|
The history of the Iceland series began with a commercial job where the client wanted to go to remote locations that were cinematic in feel. They asked me where I wanted to shoot and how I would go about it. I had always wanted to go to Iceland so I suggested it — and they bought it. I was very fortunate. We ended up shooting there in December on an ice flow with only four hours of daylight.
I fell in love with the place and made immediate plans to go back in the summer when there's 24 hours of daylight. I was also fortunate to make friends with a local production company, and furthermore became close with a number of people I met while on the ad shoot. The next question was: "What am I going to shoot once I go back, and how am I going to pay for it"?
My wife is a stylist and she became friends with some local Icelandic designers. They had rented us some materials for the shoot, and said that if we came back they would loan us clothes for our personal project at no cost except prints of whatever we shot. This was huge and saved us on the wardrobe front.
Before returning we read most of the Icelandic sagas and most of the historical record on the vikings. I then started to put together ideas about locations and how I would re-imagine telling these sagas. I also looked to the work of Odd Nurdrum and other artists that I admired as inspiration. All the while I was reading Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth. Overall, we spent a great deal of time researching mythology and looking at art history.
"It started out using real Icelandic myths, and then the work evolved into making new ones. I wanted the series to be timeless and for me that meant making up new myths if the old ones didn't work out. "
We finally landed and spent the better part of a week driving around looking for locations. We held some castings and my wife put together the outfits and the props. The people of Iceland were very giving, and we were offered props, objects, etc. directly from some of the museums. We shot a lot of out of the way historical places and people weren't used to seeing a guy with an 8X10 camera. We also brought props from Copenhagen and Amsterdam.
We then drove to our locations and were consistently rained on.It was difficult at first and then I just started shooting in the rain and eventually the rain let up and I got some fairly nice work. My moto is better lucky than good!
I started out using real Icelandic myths, and then the work evolved into making new ones. I wanted the series to be timeless and for me that meant making up new myths if the old ones didn't work out. Myth plays such a large part in almost all of the worlds cultures and Iceland is one mythical place!
I've never had so much fun taking pictures. Iceland is one of the most literate places on the planet. It has been in the popular imagination for a long while. Jules Verne set his novelJourney to the Center of the Earth in Iceland. Specifically the area around Snaefellsness (location of the Snaefellsjškull volcano). We chose this as a location for a number of images, and also for the setting of a short film I shot there. Jules Verne's story is also taken in part from the saga of Snorri Sturluson (a history of the Iceland Kings). As far as the current popular imagination, I think most people think of the music coming out of Iceland (Bjork, Sigur Ros, Mum, etc…) and of course the beauty of its landscape.
Iceland is prone to modern myths of its own. Icelanders can go to the library and read Leif Ericsson's journals. They are vikings. We actually shot at his house, which is now a museum. It's the grass huts in some of the images. It felt like time travel.
"A lot of religious paintings were portraits of a sort, and I also used the work of Hans Holbein and am always influenced by August Sander. Essentially, most myths require some type of portrait."Both myth and portraiture are key to this work. These are often connected throughout the history of art. I consider most of my work to be portraiture. When you're shooting with large format, you're forced to work that way. The most successful work for me is when I develop a relationship with whoever I'm shooting. As Avedon said, "if there's no connection I'm filled with dread and the picture fails." In this series I was asking the people to play the part of a mythical figure or figures in some cases. A lot of religious paintings were portraits of a sort, and I also used the work of Hans Holbein and am always influenced by August Sander. Essentially, most myths require some type of portrait.
I had brought a real WWII parachute on my trip and had planned to do a tribute to Margaret Burke-White. She photographed the English paratroopers practicing with the first working chutes at the time. This is the story behind the pilot shot. I'd seen her images in a special edition book, and they served as the inspiration for this shot. The location is one of many in Iceland that are remote emergency landing strips and the triangles all have different numbers corresponding to their location. I use two women in the shot to create a myth about a race of strong warrior type women (based on the Saga of Unn). I also did a shot of them with the chute open.
Heimo Schmidt: Mythologies #16
The image of the seated couple is based on the painting The Two Fridas by Frida Kahlo. I was flying from Copenhagen to Iceland when I saw a picture of this male model in a magazine who looked like the brother of the girl in the wool hat in front of the grass hut. It turned out he was Icelandic and was actually living in Denmark, but was visiting his family in Iceland on a break from working. My producer friend in Iceland hunted him down and asked if he would pose for my project. The resulting image is my homage to Kahlo.
It was shot in a complete downpour with my 8×10 with an exposure of 2 seconds. The reason their hair looks like that is because they were soaked. The water was rising around them and after 15 minutes the chairs were almost submerged. They were real troopers and I am still amazed they held still while their teeth were chattering. And a new myth happened because I was reading a magazine on a plane.
I was born in Austria and lived in Germany, Switzerland and Australia before immigrating to New York at age six. My family then moved to Detroit where I attended junior high and high school. I then attended Art School at the Center for Creative Studies (attached to the Art Institute of Detroit). I started playing around with photography in 8th grade and have been playing ever since. I've been making a living in photography since I was a junior in high school.
I shoot mostly with a Canon 5d Mk2, a Canon G10, and my iPhone. The digital stuff is mostly for my commercial work, and my self published magazine, Luddite. At the end of the day, the camera is just a tool. I shoot with a variety of cameras, depending on the project. Commercially, most clients don't want to pay to shoot film, and I can't really justify it on a cost basis.
I try to have a consistent process, but it really depends on what I'm doing (commercial or personal work). Some personal projects require the same pre-production and research as commissioned work. I usually have more than one theme I'm working with, so this drives the process. I tend to go out and do street or documentary based things that just involve getting out there with a camera and shooting. The other type of personal work is stuff like the Iceland series which required a lot of research and pre-production.

Obcy – decydujące starcie (tytuł oryg. Aliens) – film fantastycznonaukowy z 1986 roku, druga część serii filmów o Obcym, wyreżyserowana przez Jamesa Camerona. Laureat dwóch Oscarów za efekty specjalne i montaż dźwięku. Film otrzymał nagrodę Hugo w kategorii najlepsza prezentacja dramatyczna w 1987 roku. W Polsce znany również pod tytułem Obcy 2.

Fabuła
Po pięćdziesięciu siedmiu latach dryfowania w przestrzeni kosmicznej, kapsuła ratunkowa  Ellen Ripley zostaje odnaleziona i dostarczona do stacji orbitalnej Gateway, należącej do Korporacji Weyland-Yutani. Podczas przesłuchania w sprawie zniszczenia statku i ładunku, nikt nie wierzy w opowieść o tym, co kobieta przeżyła na holowniku Nostromo i zostają jej odebrane uprawnienia oficera. Okazuje się, że księżyc, na którym znaleziono obcą formę życia, jest w tej chwili zamieszkany przez kilkadziesiąt rodzin kolonizatorów, którzy swoją osadę nazywają Hadley Hope. Jednak gdy z księżycem urywa się komunikacja, słowa Ripley nabierają głębszego sensu, a na księżyc LV-426 wraz z Ripley i przedstawicielem Korporacji – Carterem Burke'em wyrusza z misją ratunkową dobrze uzbrojony oddział Kolonialnej Piechoty Morskiej, dowodzony przez porucznika Gormana.

W opustoszałej bazie kolonistów, grupa komandosów odnajduje dziewczynkę o imieniu Newt, która szybko zaprzyjaźnia się z Ripley. W laboratorium znajdują również dwa facehuggery, utrzymywane przy życiu, umieszczone w pojemnikach zastojowych. Po poszukiwaniach pozostałych żyjących kolonizatorów Marines odkrywają, że wszystkie rodziny znajdują się w jednym kompleksie. Porucznik Gorman wysyła tam wszystkich Marines dowodzonych przez sierżanta Apone. W podziemiach kompleksu okazuje się, że żołnierze nie mogą używać amunicji do karabinów pulsacyjnych i elpeemów (logiczny pistolet maszynowy), gdyż grozi to uszkodzeniem chłodzenia reaktora i w rezultacie wybuchem termojądrowym. Na miejscu znajdują ciała wszystkich kolonistów zawinięte w kokony Obcych, którzy po chwili wydostają się z zakamarków i wybijają prawie cały oddział. Ci, którym udaje się przeżyć, wraz z Ripley powracają do wozu pancernego. Najwyższy stopniem ocalały żołnierz – kapral Hicks, za namową Ripley decyduje się na zniszczenie całego kompleksu przez zbombardowanie go z orbity pociskiem nuklearnym. Prom zrzutowy mający zabrać ich z księżyca na Sulaco rozbija się (Spunkmayer i Ferro pilotujący prom giną z rąk Obcego), przez co grupa musi powrócić do kompleksu.

Ripley i żołnierze barykadują się w jednej z jego części i obmyślają skuteczny plan ujścia z życiem. Do ochrony wykorzystują m.in. cztery automatyczne roboty obronne (występują jedynie w wersji reżyserskiej filmu). Gdy Burke słyszy, że Ripley chce zniszczyć cały kompleks i wszystkich Obcych, nie pozostawiając nawet próbek, które ten zamierza wziąć ze sobą, uwalnia z pojemników zastojowych do pokoju gdzie śpią Newt i Ripley, dwa twarzołapy, aby kobiety nie opowiedziały o chęci nielegalnego zabrania próbek Obcego pozostałym członkom oddziału. W ostatniej chwili Marines ratują Ripley i Newt przed twarzołapami i dowiadują się o spisku Burke'a. Tymczasem android Bishop przekazuje wszystkim, że strzelanina uszkodziła system chłodzący w jednym z reaktorów atmosferycznych, pod którym żołnierze znaleźli kolonistów, co spowoduje wybuch termonuklearny i zniszczenie całego kompleksu. Bishop sprowadza zdalnie rezerwowy wahadłowiec z USS Sulaco na teren kompleksu.

Obcy przedostają się jednak do zablokowanych przez marines przejść i zabijają kilku z nich, w tym Hudsona. Burke wykorzystuje zamieszanie i próbuje ratować się na własną rękę uciekając do innego pomieszczenia. Po zablokowaniu drzwi zostaje zaatakowany przez Obcego. Vasquez z powodu braku amunicji zmuszona jest porzucić swój karabin i odeprzeć atak trzech Obcych pistoletem. W bliskim kontakcie z krwią jednego ze stworzeń odnosi poważne rany. Gorman honorowo wraca by ją ratować. Zostają okrążeni i decydują wysadzić się w powietrze granatem wstrząsowym. Newt wyprowadza ocalałych (Hicksa i Ripley) z jednego kompleksu do drugiego, lecz sama wpada do pomieszczenia chłodzącego w wyniku wstrząsu po detonacji. Hicks wraz z Ripley próbują uwolnić dziewczynkę, lecz zostaje ona porwana przez Obcego do głównego gniazda. Nie wierząc w śmierć Newt, zrozpaczona Ripley zostawia rannego Hicksa pod opieką Bishopa i podąża sygnałem jej nadajnika. Odnajduje Newt oraz Burke'a, który ma już w sobie zarodek Obcego. Ripley zostawia mu granat. W drodze powrotnej do wahadłowca Ripley i Newt trafiają na ogromne skupisko jaj i wysiadującą je Królową Obcych. Bohaterka niszczy wszystkie jaja i zabija dwóch Obcych-strażników broniących królowej. Następnie razem z Newt wydostają się windą na powierzchnię i odlatują wahadłowcem na statek-matkę (USS Sulaco). W tym samym momencie ogromny wybuch nuklearny niszczy wszystkich Obcych i budynki będące na LV-426.

Na statku-matce, jedyni ocaleni – Ripley, Newt, Hicks i Bishop – przygotowują się do powrotu na Ziemię. Podczas gdy Hicks jest nieprzytomny i oczekuje na umieszczenie go w komorze kriogenicznej, z wahadłowca niespodziewanie wychodzi Królowa, która pozostawała w ukryciu od startu z Acherona (LV-426), i rozrywa na pół Bishopa. Przerażona Newt chowa się pod podłogę hangaru, Ripley zaś wsiada do ładowarki (futurystyczna wersja wózka widłowego) i walczy z królową, którą w końcu wyrzuca w przestrzeń kosmiczną. Po zwycięskiej walce, Ripley wraz z Newt, Hicksem i pozostałością Bishopa poddają się hibernacji i lecą, jak sądzą, prosto na Ziemię.

Home/Technology/CES 2023: Qualcomm unveils the Snapdragon satellite; Two-way satellite messaging for Android phones is coming soon
CES 2023: Qualcomm unveils the Snapdragon satellite; Two-way satellite messaging for Android phones is coming soon
remon3 weeks ago
Qualcomm, the American semiconductor maker behind the Snapdragon chipsets on the mobile platform, announced a two-way satellite messaging feature for smartphones at the Consumer Electronics Show 2023 (CES 2023). The company's Snapdragon Satellite solution will allow users to send and receive emergency messages, SMS and texts on other messaging apps on Android smartphones worldwide. The feature will first come to devices based on the company's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform. A similar feature is available on Apple's latest iPhones, which allows users to send emergency SOS messages over a satellite connection.
The company has partnered with satellite telecommunications company Iridium to provide the service to users around the world. Snapdragon Satellite will be powered by Snapdragon 5G modem-RF systems and will use Iridium's constellation of Earth-orbiting satellites, allowing manufacturers to offer the service worldwide, according to Qualcomm.
It should be noted that Apple's Emergency SOS via Satellite feature is currently only available in the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany and Ireland.
Qualcomm's satellite messaging service is expected to launch in select regions in the second half of 2023. The company also plans to expand functionality beyond smartphones to laptops, tablets, vehicles and IoT devices. It is intended for makers and app developers to develop proprietary features and apps based on the capabilities of Snapdragon Satellite.
Garmin, which makes popular GPS-based activity tracking smartwatches, has already announced plans to work with Qualcomm to bring the feature to its devices. Garmin watches have their own SOS feature, Garmin Response, which activates when a user presses the SOS button, connecting them to the Garming Response team for rescue or assistance.
The Snapdragon Satellite feature promises to deliver "pole-to-pole" coverage for two-way satellite messaging in remote, rural and offshore areas. In addition to emergency use, the service could also be used for recreational purposes. There is currently no word from the company on whether smartphones in India will offer support for Snapdragon Satellite, when it arrives later this year.
