The Digital Divide is an infrastructure divide
Robert G Rogers, GIIC
Global Infrastructure Digital Divide Rober G. Rogers
Robert G Rogers is Executive Director of the Global Information Infrastructure Commission. In a forceful statement on the Digital Divide he identifies what for him is the crucial question - lack of infrastructure.
There's much talk and worry these days about the world's technological haves and have-nots. At the epicentre of this hand-wringing is the expanding chasm between those with and without access to the Internet, mobile phones, personal computers, and other newfangled computer and communications gear. What's worrisome about this gap is that it is distancing the world's poorest people by greater degrees than ever before from its more well-off citizens.
As troubling as this fissure in the world seems at first blush, much of the ongoing debate about how to bridge it is distracting attention toward wrong challenges and opportunities. A primary problem with the debate is that 'Digital Divide' means different things to different people in different places at different times and for different purposes.
Defining the Digital Divide
The picture that typically comes to mind when the Digital Divide is mentioned is one of schoolchildren from some downtrodden place sitting jaws agape and mesmerised, and learning in heretofore unfathomed new ways in front of personal computer terminals. To others, though, the term conjures up images of the ubiquitous availability of all kinds of new and exciting information appliances. Still others have copped the term to symbolise what stands between the world as it exists now and one in which youth is empowered, gender rights are enhanced, environmental responsibility is practised on a widespread basis, and all other sorts of social ills are remedied.
All of that having been said, 'Digital Divide' is a clever shorthand term, one politicos of all stripes can't resist dropping to oversimplify and show their command of and concern about complex issues.
'Hollow' information appliances
While it is essential that the transformative potential of information technology be tapped as thoroughly and broadly as possible, what the world suffers from, primarily, is not a shortage of personal computers, mobile phone handsets, Blackberries, iPods, and other glamorous network-connecting information appliances. What the world suffers from is a paucity of public communications networks into which to plug these abundantly available devices and render them more valuable than stand-alone curiosities and gadgets. First and foremost, the Digital Divide is an infrastructure divide. There are simply not enough connections and access points - phone jacks, for all intents and purposes - in the world for everyone to connect their voice, video, and computing devices.
To laymen and physicists alike, it's awesomely phenomenal how tiny and powerful computing and communications devices have become since the invention of the transistor in 1948. When one thinks about it, however, he or she realises that these so-called information appliances, tiny and powerful as they may be, are relatively hollow shells in the absence of public networks - such as interconnected telecommunications systems - to which to connect them and interact with others.
The infrastructure divide
That the world suffers mainly from an infrastructure divide is dramatically evidenced by the numbers. Nearly four-fifths of the world's population, give or take a few percentage points, lack access to dependable, reliable, and affordable public communications networks, whether it's to make a phone call, log on to an Internet web site, send a fax, fire off an e-mail message, post a blog entry, or engage in some serious podcasting.
So, if the Digital Divide is anything, it is first an infrastructure divide. It has next to nothing to do with a shortage of information appliances and almost everything to do with the unglamorous, gritty, silt-encrusted, and costly mélange of wires, conduits, poles, switches, and other assorted gear that make up the underbelly - or nervous system - of the much-touted 'information society.'
Even more important than this infrastructure divide, of course, are the economic divides and disparities in levels of social well-being that separate the people of the world. Attacking the infrastructure divide - or, to put a more compelling spin on it, the properly defined Digital Divide - has a great deal to do with remedying these divides.
Conventional wisdom a curse
A cursory survey of various reports of international and intergovernmental institutions such as The World Bank, the International Telecommunications Union, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, and various United Nations agencies reveals to even the most casual observer that where there are high levels of national economic activity there are commensurately high levels of access to public communications infrastructure facilities, be they ones for plain old hard-wired telephone service, wireless communications, or those that make possible the Internet.
The data shows just as compellingly that where there are low levels of economic activity there are comparably low levels of access to such infrastructure. Experts refer to these measures of access to phone, wireless, and Internet lines as tele-density.
The conundrum left lingering by a review of such data, of course, is this: Does wealth drive high levels of tele-density? Or do high levels of tele-density drive wealth? If, in fact, the accessibility of individuals to public communications networks does generate wealth, then enhancing such access should be of paramount concern to national leaders.
If, however, tele-density is no more than a reflection of underlying wealth, then enhancing access to public networks is probably not as deserving of the attention of public policy makers as some would like it to be. Conventional wisdom is that rich people buy phone, cable TV, satellite, Internet access, and other communications services because they can afford to. This view is wrong.
First of all, nothing squares as perfectly with national economic activity - as measured by such things as per capita GDP and income - as does teledensity. Not infant mortality, longevity, access to health care, educational achievement, or any other barometer of social well-being.
Second, sustainable social development starts with economic development. It doesn't work the other way around. And it is access to networked communications and computing capabilities that triggers economic growth, which is the lifeblood of sustainable social development and well-being.
Third, conventional wisdom confuses means and ends. Access to public communications networks is a means to larger development ends. Those in the world with such access enjoy not only higher levels of income, but are armed with the tools to acquire knowledge and work with it toward higher levels of social well-being. The well-worn parable about giving one man a fish and feeding him for a day and giving another the know-how and tools with which to become a fisherman and feeding him for a lifetime is probably as applicable in this situation as any other with which international development professionals deal.
Political commitment required
If national leaders, singularly or in unison, are going to effectively address the digital divide they must first adopt an unswerving conviction that access to advanced communications networks is not a stand-alone socio-economic benchmark. Second, they've got to be just as utterly convinced that a high level of such access is a sine qua non of economic development and growth. And they've got to be convinced that economic growth is the engine of sustainable improvements in living conditions.If these convictions are present, then there will be a commensurate dedication to promulgating laws and regulations that render national environments as inviting as they can be of the awesome amounts of private investment - not just the money but also the required technological and skilled human resources - needed to deploy, run, and modernise public communications infrastructure.
The hallmarks of these convictions and commitments will be factors such as these:
regulators out from under the thumbs of political ministries, incumbent national telecommunications service providers, and other special interests;
streamlined and clear rules of the road for new providers of communications services;
transparent, predictable, readily accessible, and fair dispute-settlement mechanisms;eliminated or reduced restrictions on foreign investment;
reduced taxes; and
eliminated tariffs and duties on imported communications and information technology gear.
While much lip service is paid to the importance of modern communications systems, seldom does the rhetoric match reality. Consider the nation of Turkey, for instance. There, as of late 2005 at least, individuals must pay a 50% new-subscriber tax when they sign up for mobile communications services. Atop this they must pay an ongoing 18% sales tax. And on top of this they must pay an ongoing 25% percent communications tax. Clearly - the rhetoric of its leaders notwithstanding - this is not a society whose leaders are convinced of the economic benefits of expanded access to modern information and communications technology tools. Lest this sound smug coming from an American, readers should be reminded of the situation in the United States, where nary a politician exists who does not commend the value, virtue, and promise of expanded access to new communications and information capabilities. Yet only taxes on tobacco and alcohol - so-called sin taxes - exceed those imposed on transactions involving communications services.
NATO: No-Action-Talk-Only
In too many parts of the world, obviously, the NATO principle 'No-Action-Talk-Only' prevails. If the worldwide Digital Divide, properly defined, is going to be bridged, public policy makers are going to have to recognise and be convinced of the following:
the Digital Divide is mainly an infrastructure divide;
there is an inextricable link between access to public communications networks and national economic growth;
sustainable social development hinges on national economic growth; and
what is required are national public policies that are as inviting as they can possibly be of the private investment needed to build out and modernise needed public communications infrastructure.

After kicking down the walls between its magazine and digital divisions a year ago in an effort to respond to consumers' rapidly shifting media habits, Zenith Media is now doing the same demolition to its local and national broadcast silos.
The Publicis Groupe buying shop is combining national broadcast with online video to create a national video team. This comes after spending a good part of the year unifying its local buying operations, folding local broadcast into an already-merged newspaper and out-of-home operation.
To lead the revamp, Zenith has turned again to its digital expert, John Nitti, who integrated print and digital a year ago. In January, Nitti will move into the newly created role of president of activation, overseeing digital, print, national and local broadcast, and out of home.
"We really look to have one voice in the marketplace," says Dave Penski, president of Zenith USA. "We've made these more media-agnostic employees, and we needed someone to lead that. John's got a great background for that." Nitti hopes to encourage more integration among media sellers. "You can choose to do things separately behind the scenes," says Nitti. "But with our agency, it should be holistic."
Supporting Nitti will be Neil Vendetti, who was promoted to managing director of national video. Taking over for Nitti at the integrated magazine-digital unit will be James Kiernan, who joined Zenith over the summer after spending several years in digital media roles at ESPN and MediaVest. Ava Jordhamo, who has lead the national broadcast group, is moving into a newly created role of president of Zenith New York to help support the growing staff, which now numbers 500.
Both local media and national broadcast have challenges when it comes to integration. At the local level, there's a lot of variation by client. "Each account is unique on a local level," Penski said. "Not every client buys every single market." As for unifying buying on the broadcast end, many advertisers still haven't figured out how to customize their creative for online video. Meanwhile, buying standards haven't completely been defined, making the process labor-intensive.
Other agencies have been moving in the same direction as Zenith. Omnicom Media Group's Novus Media is trying to reinvent itself as a cross-channel local retail and direct response company. MediaVest has trained its media buyers across platforms through its "Cross-Athletes" program. And GroupM has consolidated print and local buying units.

Latino named next leader of L.A. archdiocese

Transcript of: Gomez becomes first Latino to lead major diocese
BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: It is fair to say the Catholic Church has been consumed in recent days by the worldwide child abuse scandal. Tonight , the church is making news for another reason, the elevation of the first Hispanic bishop to lead a major diocese here in the US. NBC 's Miguel Almaguer reports from Los Angeles .
MIGUEL ALMAGUER reporting: In a monumental shift of power, Cardinal Roger Mahoney retires in February. And the Los Angeles Archdiocese , the largest in the country, will be led by a Latino , Archbishop Jose Gomez of San Antonio .
Archbishop JOSE GOMEZ: This is the kind of moment that, for me, words cannot fully describe my feelings.
ALMAGUER: The pope's appointment can be seen as a nod to the strength and power of Latinos in the Catholic Church . Gomez , who will likely become the country's first Latino cardinal, is a priest of the conservative Opus Dei order and was born in Mexico . He'll lead five million parishioners in Southern California , 70 percent of them Hispanic . One-third of the nation's 65 million Catholics are Latino .
Ms. ESPERANZA CRUZ (Parishioner): Right now our faith is at an all-time low. I hope this is a positive change for our people and for all humanity.
Professor HOSFFMAN OSPINO (Boston College Hispanic Ministry Director): It was a move to recognize that Latinos , Latinas are present in the church , and the future of Catholicism in the United States is in the hands of Hispanics .
ALMAGUER: Archbishop Gomez replaces a leader who was both a fixture of the church and, for some, a reminder of its problems. In 2007 , Cardinal Roger Mahoney agreed to a record-setting $660 million settlement for more than 500 alleged victims of clergy abuse. He promised then it would never happen again.
Cardinal ROGER MAHONEY: I apologize to anyone who's been offended, who has been abused in the Catholic Church by priests.
ALMAGUER: The church may have paid a high price for the scandal, but it still hasn't gone away. A federal grand jury here in Los Angeles is still investigating.
Unidentified Man: This really is a new beginning for the Los Angeles Archdiocese . Here you have a man who's really got no track record in terms of the abuse scandal, able to come in and start fresh.
ALMAGUER: A fresh face and a new leader taking over a diocese plagued by old problems. Miguel Almaguer, NBC News, Los Angeles.

I've made no secret of the fact that I'm childfree-by-choice, but as my life fills with young female friends, I find myself thinking about what I want to pass on to them – in a wise-woman way. I so enjoy their company and I love talking to them about how they navigate the world of work, relationships and, well, just being a young woman.
If I'd had a daughter when I was thirty, she would be eighteen now. So these are the things I'd like to say to her, and weirdly, lots of them are things my mother said to me, but I didn't quite understand them at the time.
It sounds like a hackneyed phrase that all (good) mothers say to daughters as they walk into the world, but I mean just that. Be your own self. Your life doesn't have to be defined by being a partner, a mother, or even having a stellar career. Just know that you have a choice in all of this. Define yourself by the life you choose to live, and by the people you choose to experience it with.
My mum used to say this all the time. But oh how true. If you have any doubts about a relationship you're in, any at all, leave it. Don't wait for 'the day' to come. It won't and you'll have lost valuable time. Never settle for something that doesn't feel right or compromise your own sense of what is right to please a partner. Your gut will tell you that something is wrong – listen to it and take action.
People started commenting on your body from a young age and it will be monitored by those around you (male and female) as you grow older. Look in the mirror and look into your own, makeup-free eyes before you monitor your own body. Make an agreement with yourself to see someone beautiful, strong and taking up space in the world. Never starve your body – eating properly makes you all of these things.
Some of the people you choose to surround yourself with will make you feel good about yourself, others will do their damnedest to try and bring you down. These people are usually insecure and jealous of beautiful, strong, young women who are confident in the world. Surround yourself with the good ones, ditch the toxics. Don't try and hold on to foul friendships – they will just bring you down. It's ok to let friends – and family – go.
Take up space in the world. If you're out walking, running or doing yoga in the park – take up the space. If you're in the office in a meeting, let your voice take up the space. If you're online and you feel strongly about something, let your words take up the space. Never flinch if people question why you are there, and they will – make your presence felt and your voice heard.
Whatever your sexuality is, people will try and make you feel as though you have to hide it, that it is shameful, that you should not seek sexual pleasure just for its own sake. Do everything you want to do, safely and confidently. Do it and never wake up with regrets. The only regret you'll have is that you never did it.
Tell other women that they're good at things. Things that don't involve hair, makeup, losing weight or wearing a fab outfit. It will change their lives.
Don't. Good things happen and they are unexpected. Your body and brain will have a way of coping with the transition that means you will discover each milestone isn't as bad as you thought it would be. Older women are smart, beautiful and supportive of younger women. Don't believe the myth that they're not any of those things – it's a lie constructed by society because older women are immensely powerful people.
Question everything. Never do anything just because everyone else is doing it. Feel the peer pressure and question it anyway. You can construct your own set of tick boxes that are different to other people's. Don't believe what others tell you about people, places or other cultures – find out for yourself.
Even when you're young, it's important to commune with yourself, not just your friends. Do things on your own, such as going to the cinema, walking, going for coffee, even on holiday. You'll never regret it.
Beware of signs that your partner is trying to control you. It can be oh so subtle, and before you know it, your life is completely in the control of another. If they make negative comments about your weight, what you're wearing, or stop you seeing certain friends, the red flag is waving. Get out.
You'll know the signs. They will be kind to you, your friends, their friends and their family. They will celebrate your successes and be there when things go wrong, without a sly smile on their faces. They will offer to connect you to people they know to help you in your career, and notably, women will help other women.
There will be times when you regret your behaviour, or saying something that has hurt someone else. Tell them you're sorry and they will forgive you. If you don't, the guilty feelings will just build inside of you and make you more likely to hurt someone again. We're all flawed – think of apologising as a flaw release valve.
Don't hide away from fun times. Work hard, play hard – get into all the corners that life is offering you. Make mistakes. If not, you will spend the rest of your life trying to make up for missed opportunities.
Because I did when my mum told me.

Virat Kohli could never be the cool captain like MS Dhoni: Hussain
ViKKi ,ALL SPORTS ,CRICKET NEWS
The former England cricketer Nasser Hussain have said that Virat Kohli could never be the cool ice man like Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He explained how the Indian skipper Virat Kohli is different from MS Dhoni.
MS Dhoni & Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli became one of the successful Indian cricket team captain in a short period of 4-5 years. Virat Kohli became the Indian Test captain in 2014-15 Test series against Australia, after the shocking retirement news of MS Dhoni from the Test cricket. He has already won the most number of Test matches for India as a captain. Dhoni as a captain has won 27 Tests out of 60 Test matches for India. He surpassed the record of Dhoni with a 28th Test match win in the Test series of India vs West Indies 2019. Currently, Virat Kohli have led to 33 Test wins out of 55 Test matches & it is the highest number of Test victory by any Indian captain in the history of Indian cricket.
Speaking in the Star Sports' Cricket Conneceted show, the former England captain Nasser Hussain have said that Virat Kohli is like no one, he's his own man in developing his own unique leadership skills.
"First thing I would say is he's his own man. It's very easy coming after MS Dhoni, I've got to be like MS Dhoni, I've got to be this calm, calculated finisher, cool, ice man. Virat Kohli could never be the cool ice man," Nasser Hussain said about the Indian skipper.
Virat Kohli became the ODI captain of India in 2017, after MS Dhoni resigns from his captaincy for India. Kohli as a captain has the win percentage of 71.83 and led Indian to 62 ODI wins out of 89 and lost 24. Whereas MS Dhoni as a captain led to India 110 ODI wins out of 200 ODI matches and lost 74. Though Kohli have a better win percentage, he has to still win more matches in the future to beat the record.
When comes to handling of critical situations in field during the live cricket matches, MS Dhoni handles it so calm and cool. Whereas, Virat Kohli some times be so aggressive at the field & does not handles that so cool like MSD. Even it can be a competitive match or any important match in the ICC tournament, Dhoni handles the situation same as every other & thus he called as 'Captain Cool.'
Nasser Hussain also said that he would worry about the teammates of Kohli because, when Kohli plays football with his players, he could do a double footed tackle & can win the ball.
"Virat Kohli wears his heart on his sleeve. If you watch Virat Kohli football in the morning, I would worry about some of his own players because he's so keen to win, he could do a double-footed tackle at waist height to be honest because he just wants to win," he said.

The Italian automotive company Lancia was founded in 1906 in Turin by Vincenzo Lancia and Fiat test driver Claudio Fogolin. To date, the brand stands for stylish and sporty mid- and especially upper class models. In addition, it is one of the oldest brands in the world.
The automobile company Lancia was mainly known for its innovations. In a short time it presented several models that were not produced in large numbers. It was more important to patent the new innovations. Thus, in 1913 the Lancia Theta was the first car in Europe with a starter, an electrical system and a lighted facility. In 1923 Lancia presented another breakthrough: With the Lancia Lambda, the first car was created that had a self-supporting body and an independent front suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers. Altogether, Lancia produced two series: the middle and the upper class models. In the production halls of Lancia usually only the sedans of the respective model were fabricated. Other versions were, among others, Boneschi and Pininfarina. After the Second World War, in 1950 the first series was developed in which the V6 engine was used. With this engine the Lancia Aurelia was said to be very quiet as it had only 56 hp. Another special feature of this model was another innovation of Lancia: the trailing link axle that was used at the rear.
Through the procedure of Lancia to build exclusive cars in small numbers, which could afford only a few after the Second World War, the company had to be sold. In 1969 Fiat bought the car company and as a first measure it lowered the purchase price of the Lancia models. With the midsize car Lancia Beta, in 1972 Fiat began with the production of new models. However, to keep the customers of higher-priced cars, in 1971 Fiat presented the sports car Lancia Stratos, who consecutively won the World Rally Championship three years in a row, in 1974, 1975 and 1976. Since January 2009, the Chrysler Group belongs to Fiat and was merged with Lancia. Thus, the smaller models are built in Italy and the larger ones in the U.S.
In 1911 the first logo of Lancia was designed by Carlo di Biscaretti Ruffia. To date, the logo has been slightly changed again and again, but it always shows a lance and a valance. The lance derives from the name of the make. The logo is always kept in the colours blue and white or silver.

"It is clear that the fundamental right to marry shall not be deprived to some individuals based solely on the person they choose to love," wrote U.S. District Judge Richard Young in his order Wednesday striking down Indiana's ban on same-sex marriage.
In time, the judge predicted, Americans will look at such unions "simply as a marriage, not a same-sex marriage."
And on the same day joyous Indiana couples celebrated—many rushing to courthouses to marry—a more significant ruling came from a federal appeals court upholding the right of gay citizens in Utah to marry.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver on Wednesday upheld a federal judge's decision to strike down Utah's voter-approved constitutional ban in 2004 against same sex marriages.
It is the first federal appeals court to rule on the question and one that edges the U.S. Supreme Court closer to taking up the issue, The New York Times reported Thursday.
Advocates hailed the appeals court ruling as historic and predicted that the high court will be forced to decide the issue, following a string of lower court rulings in various states all striking down state bans against same sex marriage.
Judge Young referenced those decisions Wednesday.
"In less than a year, every federal district court to consider the issue has reached the same conclusion in thoughtful and thorough opinions—laws prohibiting the celebrations and recognition of same-sex marriage are unconstitutional," he wrote.
In Kentucky, U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II, who ruled that Kentucky must recognize marriages of same-sex couples from other states, is weighing a challenge to Kentucky's ban on such marriages within the state.
Let us hope Judge Young is correct and that we are nearing the day when unions of all couples, gay or straight, will be viewed "simply as a marriage."

Q: Stack overflow error in C# - but how to fix it? I've run into a really interesting runtime bug which generates a rogue stack overflow.
I've defined a structure as follows:
public enum EnumDataType { Raspberry, Orange, Pear, Apple };

public class DataRequest
{
    public long DataSize
    {
        get { return 0; }
        set { DataSize = value; }
    }

    public EnumDataType DataType
    {
        get { return EnumDataType.Apple; }
        set { DataType = value; }
    }
}

The following lines work perfectly:
DataRequest request = new DataRequest();
request.DataSize = 60;

However, when I step over the following line in code, it generates a stack overflow:
request.DataType = EnumDataType.Raspberry;

Of course, I can fix it by removing the defaults, or using auto get/set, but I need it to be both readable and writable, and return a default - any ideas?

A: stack overflow happens because in the setter you are setting the property to a value (Ie you are trying to get something to set itself to something ... which causes an infinite loop) ... which means that it tries to set itself to a value which means its tries to set itself to a value untill boom
your properties will never get the values you are setting because they always return the same value (not the stored value)
public enum EnumDataType { Raspberry, Orange, Pear, Apple };

public class DataRequest
{
private long _dataSize = 0;
private EnumDataType _dataType = EnumDataType.Apple;

public long DataSize { get { return _dataSize ; } set { _dataSixe= value; } }
public EnumDataType DataType  { get { return _dataType; } set { _dataType= value; } }
}

is what you really wanted

A: you have to implemet it with a backing store:
private EnumDataType dataType;
public EnumDataType DataType  { get { return EnumDataType.Apple; } set { dataType = value; } }

}
You should do so anytime you do some acion in the getter and setters. By the way, why can you even set the variables? you can't read them out, you always get EnumDataType.Apple. If you want a start value, you can do like this:
private EnumDataType dataType = EnumDataType.Apple;
public EnumDataType
{
   get
   {
       return dataType;
   }
   set
   {
       dataType = value;
   }
 }

A: public long DataSize { get { return 0; } set { DataSize = value; } }

You are constantly setting the value of DataSize.  You need to create a local variable and use that instead. e.g.
private long dataSize;

public long DataSize
{
    get { return this.dataSize; }
    set { this.dataSize = value; }
}

EDIT
I've written DataSize but the same applies to DataType

A: I don't understand how the first line:
request.DataSize = 60;
Doesn't cause a stack overflow - my advice would be to use backing properties:
public class DataRequest
{
    protected int dataSize = 0;
    protected EnumDataType enumDataType;
    public long DataSize { get { return 0; } set { dataSize = value; } }
    public EnumDataType DataType  { get { return EnumDataType.Apple; } set { enumDataType = value;}
}

A: As others have said, the stack overflow occurs because your property setter is just calling itself. It may be simpler to understand if you think of it as a method:
// This obviously recurses until it blows up
public void SetDataType(long value)
{
    SetDataType(value);
}

As I understand it, you're trying to create normal properties but with a default value, right?
In that case, you need backing variables which are set by the setters - and the getters should return those variables, too. It's the variables which should get default values:
private long dataSize = 0;
public long DataSize {
  get { return dataSize; }
  set { dataSize = value; }
}

private EnumDataType dataType = EnumDataType.Apple;
public EnumDataType DataType {
  get { return dataType; }
  set { dataType = value; }
}

Alternatively, use automatic properties but set the defaults in your constructor:
public long DataSize { get; set; }
public EnumDataType DataType { get; set; }

public DataRequest()
{
    DataSize = 0; // Not really required; default anyway
    DataType = EnumDataType.Apple;
}

Donald Trump rips Congressman John Lewis on Twitter after his legitimacy was questioned
Student says they were expelled for tricking teacher into making inappropriate TikTok 3 Years Ago
On the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, no less.
Screengrab via MeetThePress/Facebook

President-elect Donald Trump has hit back at comments from Georgia Congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis, who said Friday Trump was an illegitimate president.
After Lewis told NBC News' Chuck Todd that he doesn't "see this president-elect as a legitimate president" during an interview for Meet the Press, Trump fired back early Saturday morning, effectively telling Lewis to focus on his own constituents.
Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to……
mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!
During the Meet the Press interview, Lewis told Todd that he will not be attending the president's inauguration. Echoing reports from the CIA, Lewis expanded by saying he thought the Russians hacked the election and helped destroy Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
[Placeholder for https://www.facebook.com/MeetThePress/videos/10155057260432871/ embed.]
"I believe in forgiveness. I believe in trying to work with people. It's going to be hard. It's going to be very difficult," Lewis said. "I don't plan to attend the inauguration. It will be the first one that I'll miss since I've been in Congress."
With this upcoming Monday being Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Trump's reaction to the criticism appears tone-deaf to some. Before being elected to Congress in 1986, Lewis built his political career as a civil rights leader in the '60s, serving as a president of the civil rights organization, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and acting as one of the original freedom riders who fought for the enforcement of desegregation on buses in the South.
Lewis also co-organized and spoke at the March on Washington, when King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech—he's the last living speaker from the rally, having been 23 at the time.

Lewis is not alone in his planned absence of Friday's inauguration. Six other Democratic leaders have announced their boycott, including Reps. Luis Gutiérrez from Illinois; Katherine Clark from Massachusetts; Barbara Lee, Mark DeSaulnier, and Jared Huffman from California; and Raúl Grijalva from Arizona.
"You cannot be home with something that you feel is wrong," Lewis said.

While most of Central and Southeast Texas hunkered down for another round of heavy rains and flooding late last night, Texas Game Wardens were busy mobilizing search and rescue resources and heading into the areas hit hardest by the latest storms.
Nearly three dozen game wardens, including four game warden swift water operators, were deployed in areas affected the hardest during the storm, including Bastrop, Travis, Grimes, Brazos, Washington, Austin and Waller counties.
By mid-afternoon Friday, game wardens had rescued 35 individuals and 12 pets and performed 68 flood evacuations.
In addition to game warden efforts, state park staff also took action to help folks caught in the path of the storm. Staff at Washington on the Brazos State Historic Site and Barrington Living History Farm worked together to shelter overnight a group of senior citizens from Houston who were stuck in the park due to road closures.
Although some state parks have been impacted by the latest storms, most remain open heading into the Memorial Day Weekend. Up-to-date information about the status of park facilities is available online at www.tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/park-information/park-alert-status.

Farbror Vattenmelon och hans vänner är en dockfilmsserie som visades i SVT:s humorprogram Varan-TV. Huvudperson var farbror Vattenmelon. Andra viktiga karaktärer var tant Morot, farbror Rutten Banan, farbror Överkokt Blomkål, fröken Aubergine, Snuskpelle och Pi.

Varje avsnitt påbörjades som ett vanligt barnprogram, men urartade då det övergick till att handla om exempelvis syfilis, otrohet och blottare.

Farbror Överkokt Blomkål är ett blomkålshuvud som talar bred skånska och är synnerligen pervers - han har en lång arm med en hand, som han använder för att känna på de andra karaktärerna. Hans favorit är fröken Aubergine, men i brist på henne kan han stå ut även med tant Morot och farbror Vattenmelon också.

Q: uploading files to the php server from java applet while using digital signature for authenticity I am developing an major project for my undergraduate degree.
I have an java applet that is encrypting a file using aes algorithm. The file is then stored in local machine. Now I want to store that file in my MySQL database at server. I am using php at backend. I also want to verify that file by using digital signature. I wrote some java code that generates a signature and public key file and some code to verify that signature for the given file.
The problem is suppose multiple users are accessing that page and for every instance these files will be generated and stored in their respective local machines.
I don't know how can I upload these files to the server and verify individual users.
Is there any better way of doing this.

A: With Applet you can get the Client IP Address. First send a POST Request to your PHP Web Application with the IP and Public Key. Store these in a data structure.
Then Upload the file using another POST Request from the Upload Script you can find the IP and  retrieve the public key for that IP from the datastructure.
UPDATE
Don't forget to Encrypt then Encode the Public Key before sending through the POST Request if you don't use HTTP over SSL.
