Carlos H. Marcondes, Luciana R. Malheiros, Leonardo C. da Costa
Despite numerous advancements in information technology, electronic publishing is still based on the print text model. The natural language textual format prevents programs from semantically processing article content. A semantic model for scholarly electronic publishing is proposed, in which the article conclusion is specified by the author and recorded in a machine-understandable format, enabling semantic retrieval and identification of traces of scientific discoveries and knowledge misunderstandings. 89 biomedical articles were analyzed for this purpose. A content model comprising semantic elements and their sequences in articles is develped. Four patterns of reasoning and sequencing of semantic elements were identified in the analyzed articles. The development and testing of a prototype of a Web submission interface to an electronic journal system that partially implements the proposed model are reported.

Review 1 by Paul Groth
The authors have made appropriate changes since the last revision. In particular, the summary and rationale for the 89 papers is better. The paper can be accepted as is.
Resubmission after "accept with minor revisions." Previous round reviews are below.
While the paper has a clearer focus, there are still a number of issues that are not completely addressed in this revision. In particular, the introduction is still rather long and does not convey the purpose of the paper. It starts with a long discourse about information retrieval systems and then abruptly moves on to discussing the imprints of relations in science and then skips to the semantic web and then to correlation of article content and scientific discoveries. A more straightforward introduction would be helpful to the reader and bring out the core contribution of the paper.
It's clear that the key contribution of the paper is the analysis of the 87 papers and their mapping to the proposed model of publication. However, this analysis is limited to one paragraph. The second reviewer had asked for a table making this analysis more prominent. Indeed, giving some examples of how papers fit with the identified patterns would help.
Finally, there are still some english errors in the paper a thorough re-reading is necessary.
While I think this paper is almost there, there are still major revisions necessary with respect to the introduction and the addition of the suggested table.
Review 2 by Tim Clark
This paper has been substantially improved over the earlier version and is fine to accept as is for publication.
This is a resubmission after a reject and resubmit. The reviews for the original submission are below.
This paper describes a semantic model for representing biomedical scientific articles. It discusses the implementation of a submission system for a journal that captures information about articles according to this model. Additionally, it discusses how articles with scientific advances do not fit into standard ontologies when they are first introduced in the literature.
Overall, I think this paper has a number of contributions but tries to do to much and thus does not provide enough information on any of the individual contributions. I believe the possible contributions of this paper are:
1) A semantic model of electronic publishing
2) A journal submission system to capture structured data around scientific articles
3) An analysis of whether one can detect whether scientific articles contain novel science by their lack of correspondence to existing ontologies.
I will discuss where additional details that are missing for each contribution:
1) Semantic Model
It is unclear from the paper whether the model is the same as the one presented in [10] and if so what additions there are. It is also not clear how this differs from existing semantic representations of papers for example: SALT or SWAN or even the old rhetorical structure theory.
I would suggest the following paper as a nice entry point into the literature for these comparisons.
de Waard, A. (2010b). From Proteins to Fairytales: Directions in Semantic Publishing. IEEE Intelligent Systems 25(2): 83-88 (2010)
The related work is ok in particular as it pertains to biomedical publishing.
The model also does not define whether the model is only for the biomedical area or if it applies more generally. There is a general impression that the authors want to say it is general however it relies on the biomedical domain for its support. I think this should be a bit clearer.
Furthermore, Figure 2 which summarizes the model does not provide details of the notation which I think are critical to understand the interrelationships of the model
I think these contrasts must be made for this to be a clear contribution.
2) Journal submission system
This looks like an interesting contribution as it combines a knowledge capture interface with assistance through natural language processing. However, the algorithm details are not given for the system that automatically identifies the parts of the scientific article. This is necessary to fully understand the approach. Furthermore, no user evaluation was done to judge the efficacy of the system.
3) Detecting scientific discoveries
This is an interesting result showing that articles which do not fit into the standard organization of science (i.e. via its agreed upon ontology) are more likely to be precursors to major discoveries. This could be a paper on its own. I would like to see more information about the mapping procedure followed by the experts in the group. I also wondered if this be done automatically over a larger corpus? It would be interesting to discuss the ramifications of the inability to capture these sort of new discoveries within ontologies. What does this mean for the systematization of knowledge in computer understandable forms and its use for knowledge discovery? This wider context is necessary to place this potential contribution
Overall, I would suggest the authors pick a focus of the article. Additionally, I think they should ensure that the biomedical focus is clear.
Some minor notes:
- In the introduction, there is no transition between the discussion of the problems of text (2nd paragraph) and the discuss of bibliographic metadata.
- In the introduction, you say that bibliographic metadata is incapable of exploiting semantic information. Surely, it is capable, however, it currently doesn't use it.
- In the introduction, the discussion of the history of scientific articles seems out of place. Maybe it should be merged with paragraph 2.
- The paragraph starting section 2, needs to be rewritten into smaller sentences.
- The definition of ontology you cite for Ying Ding is actually from Tom Gruber.
- Maybe the discussion of Kuhn could be earlier in the related work.
- Figure 3 showing the RDF of your format should just be the RDF and not a screen shot. The SWJ community can more easily read straight rdf. Especially if it is in turtle format.
Review 2 by Alexander García-Castro
Tittle: "A semantic model for scholarly electronic publishing in Biomedical Sciences"
From the Journal: "Full papers – containing original research results. Results previously published at conferences or workshops may be submitted as extended versions. These submissions will be reviewed along the usual dimensions for research contributions which include originality, significance of the results, and quality of writing."
The paper presents an original approach to the problem of delivering semantic representations for scientific documents –in this specific case research articles in biomedical sciences. The authors present an interesting, feasible and realistic method that combines automatic and semi-automatic metadata enrichment strategies. Papers are written for humans to read and consume; however, within the current landscape in life sciences researchers can hardly cope with the information overload. It is therefore important for us to enable machine readable documents; such approach should make it possible for machines to identify relevant claims in the text as well as to reason over the text. The authors propose a metadata enrichment mechanism that is implementable. Although the research presented by the authors is relevant and interesting, the text does not make it easy for the reader to appreciate the importance of the work. The English needs major improvements; some reorganization is also necessary.
Accept Pending Minor Revisions
The approach presented by the authors is original. It is simple and implementable. Interesting, this work is based upon the careful review of a number of papers –as described in "Materials and Methods". From the review this paper had throughout the SePublica editorial process: "The combination of the manual and automatic approach takes advantage of the best of both worlds. While the manual creation of semantic annotation warrants highest information quality, the automatic annotation is much faster. Since the problem of the ambiguity of natural language is not solved yet (and might be impossible to solve), human interaction in the semantic annotation process will stay necessary for an unpredictable period of time. Therefore the combination is a practical solution."
Significance of the results
The authors present interesting results. Very significant and useful.
A summary of the 89 papers analyzed by the authors is needed. Such summary could be a table. The existing text could expand on the table. As the analyzed documents pertain to a specific domain in biosciences the authors should address the issue of scalability; how scalable is their approach to other domains in biomedical sciences?
The results should also be summarized in a table. Furthermore, the authors have done an interesting work analyzing the rhetorical structure, how could such structure be aligned against previously presented structures? Also, the authors should better present their structure; this is a key result from their research.
Quality of writing:
The authors should present the reader with the problem at hand, research statement, earlier in the manuscript. The actual problem is only presented until the second page, 9th paragraph. What is their approach, what is the problem they are studying, what is the contribution of the paper, all of these should be presented in a straightforward manner earlier in the document.
The "Introduction" is too wordy. It should be shorten to one full page.
"Related Work". The authors should focus this section to previous work related to the problem at hand. The way this section is written it goes from ontologies, and opinions around biomedical ontologies, to the formulation of hypothesis –briefly. The authors should better focus this section. How is this related work making the case for the novelty in their approach?
"Materials and Methods". This is an interesting and useful section. It is written in a very bio style, which is good because it is rigorous in the description. Also, this section makes it easier for the reader to "imagine" how could the experimental part presented in this paper be replicated. However, the English need to be improved.
"Results and Discussion"
This is an interesting section. However, it is difficult to read; it needs some reorganization. The English here needs improvements.
"Conclusions"
Again, the English needs to be improved. Also, the authors should focus this section on the actual contribution avoiding wordiness. This should be related to the problem at hand declared in the introduction (which also needs some work). The reader should be able to "see" how is the work addressing the research question and more importantly how is this work making a difference. This section should be more focused.
Issues to be addressed:
Authors: hereafter abbreviated as "SN"
Reviewer: just by using parenthesis after the term it is enough, there is no need for "hereafter abbreviated as "SN". For instance, in this case it should be "Semantic Network (SN)".
Authors: "unified medical language system"
Reviewer: use caps, Unified…System.
Authors: "Although this semantically richer schema is supported by the UMLS, the bibliographic record models in databases such as Medline are incapable of exploiting this potential."
Reviewer: such strong claim should be illustrated. The authors should present an example, a real life one.
Authors: "and RDF Schema3 statements"
Reviewer: the authors probably mean RDF schemata. I don't understand the "statements" part.
Authors: "Through scientific articles"
Reviewer: the authors should consider rephrasing, "Through" is not the right word here.
Authors: "Electronic-Web-published"
Reviewer: the authors probably mean "web based publication of scientific articles". Please review/rewrite.
Authors: "humanity body of knowledge."
Reviewer: Please review/rewrite.
Authors: "Several alternatives have already been proposed as new types". Second page.
Reviewer: This paragraph could be better placed as part of the second section.
Authors: "From an ontological point of view, scientific articles are a- documents"
Authors: "The focus of the proposed model is the second aspect, i.e., the reasoning/rhetorical, and the semantic structure of the scientific articles in Biomedical Sciences."
Reviewer: reasoning and rhetorical? The use of the / implies that both concepts are interchangeable; this is hardly the case because these are concepts that are not intrinsically related to each other. Please review/rewrite.
Authors: "In the literature [29] the term biomedical ontology is a slight imprecise concept naming biomedical concept systems ranging from terminologies used to index scientific literature to highly formal computational ontologies such as OpenGALEN4."
Reviewer: this is quite true.
Authors: "We have been working for years [10] on the development of a"
Reviewer: Please review/rewrite
Author: "richer content surrogate"
Reviewer: why "surrogate"?
Author: "semantic content model"
Reviewer: I find this problematic, the authors are not presenting any schemata, nor are they presenting an ontology modeling a specific section of a paper. The authors should be more specific in presenting the limitation of their model.
Authors: "Scientific claims made by authors in their papers are represented as relations between two different phenomena or between a phenomenon and its characteristics"
Reviewer: how are these "relationships" being modeled?
Marcondes et al.
The authors propose a semantic model for publishing scholarly electronic articles and present a prototype user interface which authors would be required to use to submit their articles to journals.
The introductory and background material is not particularly well-done or well-reasoned and the referencing does not suggest a very deep familiarity with the subject. Examples:
- "Before the advent of the World Wide Web…man's scientific knowledge was fuzzy…"
- "Relations between concepts are the core of meaning."
This is an idealist theory of meaning which requires at least some citations and a defense. A materialist might say, that the relationship between propositions / concepts and their physical referents is at the core of meaning. When we ask what something "means", are we asking for its related concepts, or do we want to know what it represents in the physical world? Regardless of one's answer to this question, the authors should at least present some backing for their view and recognize that is *is* a view.
- "Since the Actas of the Royal Society in the seventeenth century, …"
The Royal Society did not publish anything called an Acta in the seventeenth century. Their foundational publications were two books, Hooke's _Micrographia_, and John Evelyn's _Sylva_ in 1662; followed in 1665 by the _Philosophical Transactions_, which was the sole periodical publication of the Society until the nineteenth century when the predecessor of the Proceedings was initiated.
- "We also hypothesize that there is a correlation between the articles content and the fact that these articles report scientific discoveries."
- "we propose to engage authors in developing a richer content representation…"
This should cite A de Waard 2007, De Waard & Kircz 2008, and Ciccarese et al. 2008, at a minimum, and probably several of the earlier papers referenced by De Waard & Kircz, as the present authors are certainly not the first to attempt what they are reporting on in this paper.
- "Biomedical terminologies are evolving toward knowledge bases as they are becoming formal."
The authors need to cite some adequate definition of a knowledge base from the mainstream literature in this field.
- "Other important aspects of ontologies to Science are outlined by Yin Ding: Ontology is defined as a formal explicit specification of a shared conceptualization."
The definition cited and attributed to Yin Ding was originated by Thomas Gruber (Gruber 1995).
- "Thomas Kuhn his one of the most prominent authors in Philosophy of Science…"
Besides the fact that Kuhn is deceased and the authors should use the past tense in this sentence, it just seems lazy to throw Kuhn about in this way. Kuhn is no doubt the most well-known author in Philosophy of Science to non-philosophers, and though I am not a specialist, even I know that he cannot be considered representative or definitive of thinking in that domain.
And Kuhn does seem to be just thrown in there.
The authors go on to mention Kuhn's idea of a "pre-paradigmatic stage" in science where there is a lack of precise and agreed terminology. But that is clearly not applicable to biomedical research. Lacking a complete formal semantic specification for the content of research articles is very far from being "pre-paradigmatic" in Kuhn's formulation.
The authors then present a graphical model of knowledge representation in articles, MKA, and claim that it was then represented in RDF. But they do not present or make accessible any ontology or RDF schema for MKA.
They present a prototype application by way of a series of screen shots, with no discussion of implementation whatsoever. We do not know what language, framework or technology stack was employed, nor are we told what issues may have arisen in development or what lessons were learned if any. The authors need to present some way for readers to access the code with licensing requirements.
I consider the authors have some interesting ideas but they have not done their homework. Because these ideas are of interest - I would encourage them to undertake a thorough rewrite based on some further study, and to resubmit after addressing the points indicated.

My question: can I use a single Multi-energy (for example) to fulfill the requirement of Cresselia GE's Lunar Dance attack, which states: "Discard 2 energy attached to Cresselia. If you do, remove all damage counters from 1 of your benched Pokemon."
I agree that for purposes of attacking multi energy provides only 1 energy, but it would seem that for purposes of discarding, multi energy provides multiple energies (okay, I may not be using the terminology correctly, but to the layman, that is what seems to be happening).
you're not using terms quite correctly.
Rainbow and Multi both provide one unit of Energy each, but they both provide all types, all at the same time.
Think of a scoop of rainbow italian ice. Once scoop... lots of colors.
For an effect that looks for a color, it sees that color when it looks at a Rainbow energy. It is not "using up" the energy unit like an attack requirement does, just looking for a color.

Louis Ray collaborates with Tamzene in soulful track 'Dancing with the Colours'
Leeds-based producer Louis Ray makes his debut with 'Dancing With The Colours', a soulful, chilled-out track featuring guest vocals from Belladrum Records' Tamzene. Louis wrote, produced, engineered and performed everything - showing himself to be much more than just your average producer.
Smooth sax lines, delicate piano parts, subtle guitar and swirling synths make up the base of the track, with an excellent vocal performance from Tamzene. Her delivery is passionate and emotive and complements the instrumentation perfectly.
Above: Tamzene
The songwriting is also strong - the song has a sense of direction and ebbs and flows, adding layers and subtle variations before a saxophone-led climax in the final chorus.
Louis has done a great job on the production of the single, with all the instruments sounding clear, and the track overall sounds very professional, especially for a debut single. The only point of criticism is the dynamics of the track: The high points could sound a lot bigger to contrast the more subdued parts, but it doesn't really take away from the track as a whole.
He cites a diverse range of influences - from Tom Misch to Bonobo and Portishead, and elements of all of these can be heard in the track: The neo-soul/trip-hop vibes of Misch and Portishead, as well as the electronica influence of Bonobo in the synth and piano parts.
'Dancing With The Colours' is a strong debut, showcasing Louis Ray's songwriting, performing and production talents. The young producer has much potential, and undoubtedly has a lot more up his sleeve to come.

Naomi Fowler ■ The Tax Justice Network in Kenya and Israel
The Tax Justice Network in Kenya and Israel
Naomi Fowler
Beneficial ownership registration ↘
Two important events this month: Tax Justice Network Africa organised the 3rd International Tax Justice Academy on the 12th-16th September 2016 in Nairobi, Kenya. The Academy's main objective is to strengthen the network working on tax justice issues in Africa and to enable different stakeholders to undertake advocacy through training on tax justice issues such as illicit financial flows, tax governance and domestic resource mobilisation in the African continent.
This year, the Academy's theme was 'Stop the Bleeding: Closing Tax Loopholes to fund Africa's structural transformation.' About 100 participants from many countries in Africa participated in the workshop and engaged in different sessions delivered by facilitators from civil society organisations, academia and public authorities. Tax Justice Network researcher and founder of Tax Justice Network Israel Moran Harari gave a presentation on Exchange of Information between nations in which she explained the various existing methods and legal frameworks available, while focusing on the current challenges from an African perspective. At the end of four intensive training days, the participants collaborated on an action plan for promoting tax justice in Africa. We'll keep you updated on that.
Also this month in Israel, Tax Justice Network Israel (TJN IL) organised a roundtable on Beneficial Ownership registration and a General Mandatory Income Tax Reporting which was held on 19th September 2016 at the College of Management Academic Studies where TJN IL presented the findings of a draft report soon to be published on the Israeli context. Held in collaboration with the Ebert-Stiftung-Foundation the event included public officials, practitioners and academics.
Participating in the panel discussion was the manager of the Information Exchange Department of the Israeli Tax Authority, the legal advisor of the Israeli Corporation Authority, a representative of the Bank of Israel, the Vice Dean of the Law Faculty at the Hebrew University and a tax partner from Ernst & Young.
In Israel currently there is no register of the beneficial owners of corporations, although it has signed up to the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters and to the USA's Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). TJN IL has made a series of recommendations, including for Israel to create a register of Beneficial Ownership that should initially be made available for people who can prove a legitimate interest, with a move to making the register public at a later stage.
The discussion was insightful and very constructive. In general, most of the participants supported the idea of beneficial ownership registration, while for the public officials attending the idea of opening it up to the public seemed quite radical. It was clear that a discussion on these issues from a tax justice perspective was new for many of the participants and has opened the door for future cooperation with civil society organisations on tax justice issues in the public interest.
Naomi is the Tax Justice Network's creative strategist. She also produces and presents the Taxcast, the Tax Justice Network's monthly podcast/radio show. She also directs the Tax Justice Network's monthly podcast/radio shows in Spanish - Justicia ImPositiva, Arabic - الجباية ببساطة French - Impôts et Justice Sociale and Portuguese - É da sua conta. She produced programming for broadcasters around the world for 15 years, was Programme Director at a radio station in Latin America and has lived and worked in various countries. She's currently based between London, Sicily and Spain.

Q: High `WindowServer` Memory Usage M1 Mac OS X 11.3.1 I purchased a new M1 Mac (8gb ram) in Febuary, and since then have had a problem with lagging due to high memory usage. Almost always half or more 4+gb is allocated to WindowServer.
The problem is exacerbated any time I plug in OR unplug my external monitor.
I've read this thread, which indicated that this was a bug back in OS X 10.x
Should I be worried about this specific computer being a lemon, or is this an OS X bug? It's quite annoying because it makes my computer essentially unusable for 3+ minutes every time I switch what display I am using.


The Bank of England should freeze house prices for five years and set a separate new target for house price inflation, the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has suggested.
The zero target could mean house prices falling by around 10% in real terms as other prices and wages continue to rise, and would make homes more affordable.
Only after expectations of constantly rising house prices have been "reset" would they be allowed to increase again – but no faster than the general consumer price inflation target of 2%. This means no further growth in the real value of people's homes.
Mark Hayward, NAEA Propertymark, chief executive, said: "Excessive house price growth is certainly not something we want to see, but homebuyers make purchases on the basis of capital appreciation and the belief that their investment will be protected and enhanced.
IPPR's call came as part of a wider plan to rebalance the UK economy away from finance, and reduce the risk of another financial crisis, published as a discussion paper.
It envisages that the Treasury would task the Financial Policy Committee of the Bank of England with meeting a target for annual house price inflation.
The Bank would restrict mortgage lending by insisting on higher initial deposits, stricter ceilings on the ratio of loans to income, and other steps to control credit in the property markets. It would also be entitled to ask the Treasury to step up investment in house building.
The IPPR paper argued that the financial sector's dominance since the 1980s has contributed to a strong pound, which has hurt exporters, particularly the manufacturing sector.
It said the UK financial sector has attracted surplus capital from other countries and channelled it into loans to British consumers and to speculative investors – including as mortgage lending.
It also concluded that speculation over house prices and related securities contributed to their 10-fold increase between 1980 and 2008, and has increased the economy's vulnerability to financial crises.
Grace Blakeley, IPPR research fellow and author of the discussion paper, said: "Since the 1980s, the UK's business model has rested on attracting capital from the rest of the world, which it has channelled into debt for UK consumers.
"The 2008 crisis proved that this is unsustainable. We need to move towards a more sustainable growth model, one built on production and investment rather than debt and speculation.
"To do this, we must break the cycle of ever-rising house prices driving property speculation, crowding out investment in the real economy.
"Over the longer term, we should build up our manufacturing and knowledge-based industries and reduce the significance of our finance sector to the economy, including by curbing its worst speculative excesses.

Pennsylvania Election Lawsuit Left for Dead after Supreme Court Ruling Is Alive, Lawyers Say
America's highest court left open the door to hearing the merits of a case that was widely seen as dead.
The post Pennsylvania Election Lawsuit Left for Dead after Supreme Court Ruling Is Alive, Lawyers Say appeared first on Zenger News.
Efforts to overturn November's election results in Pennsylvania are not dead, say the attorneys who continued working after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a one-sentence ruling that was widely seen as the case's last breath.
The Supreme Court's order closed the door on the petition in front of Justice Samuel A. Alito, which asked for an order restraining Pennsylvania's government from sending a slate of electors when the Electoral College meets Dec. 14. While the justices shunted that specific request aside, they remained silent on whether to hear the case that it reinforced.
"The application for injunctive relief presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied," the Court said Tuesday of a petition from Republican Rep. Mike Kelly, unsuccessful U.S. House candidate Sean Parnell and six other Pennsylvanians. But America's highest court implicitly left open the door to a writ of certiorari, its official signal that it will consider a case.
The Pennsylvania does not involve President Donald J. Trump's legal team, and he took steps this week to distance himself from it. "This was not my case as has been so incorrectly reported," he wrote Wednesday on Twitter.
But with or without Trump, Rep. Kelly told Zenger News that he wants the court "to address this case on the merits."
"This is a clear-cut, straightforward case. As one of the parties to this case, I am imploring the Supreme Court of the United States to uphold the protections established by our nation's Constitution, which was undermined and violated when the Pennsylvania Governor signed Act 77 into law," Kelly said.
Act 77, enacted in October 2019, allows Pennsylvanians to vote by mail without stating a reason. More than 2.6 million Pennsylvanians voted through the mail last month.
Not only do I have the honor to represent the incredible people of Pennsylvania, I, too, am a Pennsylvania voter," said Kelly. "Defending the integrity of our elections and our rule of law have been hallmarks of our nation. What is happening in Pennsylvania now cannot continue."
WASHINGTON, DC – NOVEMBER 30: The United States Supreme Court is pictured in the days leading up to a flurry of activity related to the 2020 presidential election. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)Kelly's case rests on limits that the Pennsylvania Constitution places on the methods of voting in public elections. That document's Article VII permits only a narrow set of circumstances under which qualified citizens are not required to vote in person.
Voters can receive absentee ballots if "their duties, occupation or business require them to be elsewhere," if they can't go to a polling place "because of illness or physical disability or "the observance of a religious holiday" or if they are county employees engaged in "election day duties."
The state constitution makes no mention of other procedures for remote voting. But with Act 77 the Pennsylvania General Assembly created a new class of voter in 2019, "qualified mail-in electors," and declared them "entitled to vote by an official mail-in ballot in any primary or election held in this Commonwealth." More than three-quarters of mail-in voters in Pennsylvania chose former Vice President Joseph R. Biden over President Trump.
"The state basically duped millions of people into voting illegally," said Greg Teufel, the Pennsylvania attorney who filed the Supreme Court petition. He told Zenger News that the U.S. Supreme Court should declare Act 77 unconstitutional since it changed election law in a way that is "only permitted by amending the [state] constitution."
Teufel's law firm in Pittsburgh said Wednesday that his clients "will soon be filing a petition for writ of certiorari to seek the Court's review of this case on the merits."
If the high court should hear the case, Pennsylvania government lawyers may lean on a section of the state constitution's Article VII that appears to give them significant latitude. "All elections by the citizens shall be by ballot or by such other method as may be prescribed by law: Provided, That secrecy in voting be preserved," it reads.
News websites, broadcasts and political Twitter were blanketed Tuesday night with reports that Teufel's Pennsylvania case was dead, or at least displaced by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's broader case concerning Pennsylvania and three other states.
Paxton's case stepped into the spotlight moments after the Supreme Court's terse message on Tuesday. Within 24 hours, 17 other states joined him in an Amicus brief, agreeing with his position that Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin took "non-legislative actions to change the election rules." The U.S. Constitution dictates that only state legislatures can make or change how elections are conducted.

Trump inserted himself into that case on Wednesday, filing a brief with the Supreme Court in which he expressed his support for Paxton's challenge of what he called "unconstitutional" changes in voting laws in the four states. In contrast with Teufel's petition, which claimed Pennsylvania lawmakers are not entitled to change election law unless they amend the state's constitution, the president's attacks focused more on practical things he claimed state governments did.
"Pennsylvania's Secretary of State issued guidance purporting to suspend the signature verification requirements, in direct violation of state law. In Michigan, the Secretary of State illegally flooded the state with absentee ballot applications mailed to every registered voter despite the fact that state law strictly limits the ballot application process," Trump's brief said.
"In Wisconsin, the largest cities all deployed hundreds of unmanned, unsecured absentee ballot drop boxes that were all invalid means of returning absentee votes under state law. In Georgia, the Secretary of State instituted a series of unlawful policies, including processing ballots weeks before election day and destructively revising signature and identity verification procedures," it said.
Paxton's lawsuit argues that officials in his four "defendant" states "presented the [Covid-19] pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in voting."
They "flooded their citizenry with tens of millions of ballot applications and ballots," he wrote, violating laws at every turn and "ma[king] the 2020 election less secure."
Paxton wrote that since individual officials made those decisions "without any consent by the state legislatures," they are unconstitutional.
Article I, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution reads: "The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof."
Article II, Section 1 similarly puts choosing delegates to the Electoral College, which chooses U.S. presidents, firmly in the hands of the state legislatures.
"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors," it states.

A Subjectively Obscure SciFi Primer: M.A.N.T.I.S.
Like an eclipse in the dark night sky, the Obscure Sci-Fi Primer makes its periodic reappearance. And speaking of things that emerge in the night, our subject this month is a vigilante-by-night superhero series M.A.N.T.I.S. A 1994 series, it debuted on Fox and, surprise of all surprises, lasted only one season. That might not sound like a recipe for success, especially given that better known superheroes had been failing to find an audience on TV for years at the time, and M.A.N.T.I.S. followed an original character that no one had any preexisting reason to care about. But this show had some interesting creative forces behind it–namely Sam Hamm (writer for Batman 1989 and Batman Returns) and Sam Raimi (known at the time for Evil Dead, but who would go on to spark the modern Superhero Movie craze with Spider-Man 2002). While it's largely remembered today for being one of the first film or TV productions to focus on a black superhero, this aspect was… well, a big part of why the show struggled to find an audience, unfortunately. This didn't factor into the plot or character as much as the creators wanted it to, which leads one to ask: did the show that made it to air deserve to find an audience? Let's find out. Read more

What Could Have Been: The Doctor Who TV Movie
As we've done once before, instead of a season for a show that was canceled, this month we're going to look at the plans for a series that never actually materialized at all. In this case, we're looking at the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie, starring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor. The series was a co-production that aired on Fox, and was passed on for really stupid reasons that we'll not get into here. But, given that it was essentially a pilot movie that was intended to lead into a full continuation of the classic BBC Doctor Who, there were quite a lot of plans as to where the show would've gone and what it might have included. How does it stack up to the eventual modern Doctor Who? Let's find out.

4 Strange Cameos by Sci-Fi Characters–Friday Four
We've talked about cameos a few times on here before. Cameos by celebrity fans are fairly common, and scientists are a great choice when you're looking to lend your sci-fi some scientific credibility. However, there's also the other side of the coin–when sci-fi characters drop out of their own universes and make cameos in shows where they wouldn't usually belong. This isn't just using the actor or referencing their famous role; we've actually got a pseudo-crossover on our hands. (The big difference between these cameos and crossovers is that these aren't canon to their sci-fi origins.) Who does that? Let's find out!

A Subjectively Obscure SciFi Primer: Harsh Realm
Warping in on an unusual day of the week, the Obscure Sci-Fi Primer returns with a fan-requested show: the extremely short-lived 1999 series Harsh Realm. Clocking in at a meager 9 episodes, this is by far the shortest show to appear in the Primer to date. Harsh Realm deals with virtual reality, much like another show we've covered already. But while VR.5's virtual worlds were highly personal ones, Harsh Realm is far less so, having started as a high-tech training simulation for dealing with potential nuclear apocalypse. It's also an (incredibly loose) adaptation of a comic book, and had a number of X-Files writers working on it, like Chris Carter and Vince Gilligan (although the latter wasn't a writer here).

A Subjectively Obscure SciFi Primer: Dark Angel
This month, the Obscure Sci-Fi Primer hops back over to cyberpunk with the Fox series Dark Angel. Unusually for a sci-fi series on Fox, it actually managed to get a second season before being screwed over, which makes it the first show in the Primer to have lasted longer than one (although the two seasons are radically different). More typically, it was shunted to the Friday Night Death Slot and quietly killed to make room for Fox's next victim, Firefly. The show was created by James Cameron, the king of the box office himself, and Charles H. Eglee, and was originally made with the idea of a feminist superhero in mind. Set in a dystopian version of Seattle, of all places, Dark Angel possesses a lot of cyberpunk themes while focusing heavily on genetic engineering and secret government projects. But is it worth watching now, just 4 years away from the time it was set?

A Subjectively Obscure SciFi Primer: VR.5
As we return to the Subjectively Obscure Sci-Fi Primer, we hit upon possibly the most obscure show yet: little known 90's show and companion to The X-Files, VR.5. Debuting in 1995 and set in 1995, it's about as "near future" as sci-fi can get. It lasted for one 13-episode season, although several of those never even aired, since it was yet another victim of Fox and the Friday Night Death Slot. As you might guess from the title, this cyberpunk show deals with the concept of Virtual Reality–specifically a multitude of different levels of virtual reality, with the eponymous 5th level referring to perfect immersion, indistinguishable from reality. Or almost, anyway, as we'll see in a moment.

This Week in Sci-Fi — January 24-31, 2015: Super Bowl trailer time!
"The news roundup. Duh."
Lots of news this week, which we can mostly thank the Super Bowl for. Tons of summer movies will release their first trailers and begin their marketing pushes during one of the few remaining events to draw massive audiences on mainstream TV. Is that a good reason to finally care about this sporting event? We're also starting to hear about upcoming sci-fi projects and networks are beginning to send out feelers for fall shows. What more can you really ask for in your sci-fi news?

A Subjectively Obscure SciFi Primer: Space: Above and Beyond
Last month, I kicked off our newest recurring segment, the Obscure Sci-Fi Primer, with Charlie Jade. The idea behind the segment is to introduce binge-watching sci-fi fans to shows they might never have heard of otherwise, be it because they were produced outside the US, one-season wonders, or just quietly performing in syndication for years alongside the heavy hitters. As such, our topic for this month is Space: Above and Beyond, a 1995 series that lasted for one season, ranking among the multitude of sci-fi shows that Fox canceled before Firefly was even a gleam in Joss Whedon's eye. Space: Above and Beyond is a military sci-fi series that follows a squadron of United States Marines called the "Wildcards," who are serving in the war against an alien species known as the Chigs. First contact, needless to say, went badly, as they start off by destroying humanity's only extrasolar colonies. Read more

4 Installments that Killed their Franchises – Friday Four
In their quest for creating profitable franchises, sometimes companies can get a little shortsighted. They push movies through before they're ready, make dumb changes, and approve all kinds of things that never should have been approved. When enough of these mistakes come together, they can add up and start dragging down the resulting movie. Sometimes that means the film gets canceled, and sometimes it's too late to cancel. They have to put out what they've got. And what they've got… is shit. The franchise the film was supposed to continue is shot dead in its tracks. While they might not stay down forever, these 4 films certainly did a number on their parent franchises.

4 Films Ruined by Studio Interference – Friday Four
So, earlier this week I discussed the dark side of franchises, and how all that corporate ownership isn't always a good thing. In that post, I mentioned Iron Man 2, a film that was burdened by its shared universe connections because of its place in the franchise as a launch point for The Avengers. It had to include flashback scenes with Howard Stark, Black Widow had to show up and bring all of S.H.I.E.L.D. along with her, and Nick Fury evaluating Tony's potential. And then the post-credits sequence for Thor… Suffice it to say, it didn't leave as much room for the main plot as most people would have desired, and Whiplash ends up coming off as a silly second-tier threat, at best. But while Iron Man 2 still has plenty of enjoyable scenes to it, not every film is so lucky. Here are 4 films ruined by studios in their quest for franchise creation.

Great ResignationCompensationReturn to WorkCareersLabor UnionsSuccess Stories
Success ·Remote Work
The 'great remote work mismatch' is here: Workers are looking for WFH roles that are dwindling before their eyes
November 30, 2022, 8:17 PM UTC
There are fewer remote work opportunities for job seekers looking for flexibility.
Jessie Casson—Getty Images
The push to return to normal has found the spark companies need to kick it into high gear.
We've gone through just about every narrative at this point: remote work is dead, it's here to stay, it is the new normal. Whatever side of the argument you may be on, one thing stands true: Employers are offering fewer and fewer remote work opportunities even as demand for such work remains.
The result: "the great remote work mismatch," LinkedIn's head of economics and global labor markets, Rand Ghayad, told The Washington Post. Labor mismatches have typically centered around skills in pre-pandemic times, he explained. Now, he said, "Workers are looking for jobs that offer certain attributes—like the ability to work remotely—that employers aren't willing to offer."
As of October, there were two on-site job openings for every one applicant looking for work, according to a recent report written by Ghayad. On the flip side, there were two applicants for every one remote work opening available. That's because the number of jobs posted on LinkedIn that tout remote work has fallen to just 14% of openings after ballooning since the beginning of the pandemic, according to the report.
That's a far cry from the more than one-third of private-sector employers that expanded their remote work options during the pandemic, per U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Roughly 60% of those said they expected to keep the policies in place.
The post-pandemic push to return to business as usual, however, has led to increased demand for workers to return to offices, while companies scale back on the flexibility and remote work benefits employees not only enjoyed, but imposed on leaders.
But now the clamps are tightening. Business leaders no longer feel the pressure to offer remote work if their idea of a productive, well-run workforce is instead fully in-office, five days a week. Employers see themselves now as holding the cards; there's a belief that looming layoffs amid a sliding economy means workers will be more desperate for work and forgo the demands they made during the pandemic when they held the winning hand.
The job market as a whole appears to be tightening—the Great Resignation has morphed into a Great Remorse. A recent Harris Poll surveying more than 2,000 U.S. job seekers found over 70% of them said it has been harder than they'd hoped to lock down a good role. And a July report from Joblist found that a quarter of workers who quit during the pandemic have come to regret it.
Some of the novelty of remote work has seemingly worn off for workers, especially if they're simply trying to find work. However, a lasting lesson from the pandemic is the value workers continue place on having the flexibility to work from virtually anywhere. Dan Kaplan, senior client partner at global consulting and headhunting firm Korn Ferry, previously told Fortune that people simply aren't going to go back to working like before.
Not to mention, Ghayad points out in the report, the advent of remote work has provided more opportunities for diverse candidates and workers with disabilities.
"While the current hiring declines cloud the near-term economic outlook, both factors bode well for the longer-term prospects of helping create economic opportunity for those who face significant barriers navigating the job market," Ghayad wrote in the report. "As we face ongoing uncertainty and a possible downturn, we are at risk of going backwards and a retrenchment from progress on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace—remote work can be a powerful way to attract, support, and retain great talent from all backgrounds."


– Being around since the 1920s, the Balinese wolves are a variant of the Siamese species of cat. They are an oriental breed of kitten and have been observed from the Americas. Having been consumed with murderous type, a few of these litters using a longer baldness have since evolved into the Balinese breed by means of a set of genetic mutations.
The duration of the fur is a fantastic way to tell the difference between a Balinese breed and Siamese one because Balinese cats has fur that's in a single layer, rather than in a double layer like most other cats do. This dual coating makes the other cats' coat look rougher, like a washboard. This long fur doesn't interfere with all the grooming of this cat, luckily, since it isn't extremely long.

Q: @MessagingGateway, Spring Cloud Stream, and error handling across both Regarding the answer posted for How can @MessagingGateway be configured with Spring Cloud Stream MessageChannels?, what is the correct way to handle errors at the @MessagingGateway that can be returned from Spring Cloud Stream services?
To recap, I have a @MessagingGateway that provides synchronous access to asynchronous services built using Spring Cloud Stream. When an error occurs within my Spring Cloud Stream service layer, I create an error response and send it through a SubscribableChannel to other @StreamListener services that process the errors.
For example, when an account is created, I send a message to the accountCreated channel. When an error occurs I send an error response to the accountNotCreated channel.
This works fine, but I also want send an error response to the client of the @MessagingGateway so they receive the error response synchronously. The @MessagingGateway annotation has an errorChannel attribute, but the @Gateway annotation does not. So, the client of the @MessagingGateway should be able to block and wait for either 1) an account to be created or 2) an error response.
Again, the goal here is to build "backend" services that utilize Spring Cloud Stream for transactional services (i.e., those that create, update, or delete data) while at the same time provide our clients "gateway" access that block and wait for the responses to be returned. The solution Artem Bilan provided me works for the happy path, but when an error occurs, that's where I am not clear on how Spring Integration is best suited to handle this.

A: There is only one global errorChannel on @MessagingGateway that is used for all @Gateway methods. If you have a gateway with multiple @Gateway methods, each method can set a message header to indicate which method failed.
If you send a Message<Throwable> to the gateway's reply channel (and there is no error channel) the payload will be thrown to the caller.
If the gateway method has a throws clause, an attempt to unwrap the cause tree is made looking for that exception.
If you add an errorChannel, instead of throwing the exception to the caller, an ErrorMessage with the exception as its payload is sent to the error channel - you can then do any further post-processing on the error channel flow and throw some other exception to the caller if desired. It sounds like you don't need that, though.
So, putting it all together...

*

*Have the error handling service send some message to another destination.

*In the gateway service, add a @StreamListener for that destination.

*In the @StreamListener construct a Message with an Exception payload and send it to the gateway's reply channel.

*The gateway will then throw the payload to the caller.

Something like this should work...
@Gateway(requestChannel = ENRICH, replyChannel = GatewayChannels.TO_UPPERCASE_REPLY)
String process(String payload) throws MyException;

.
@StreamListener(CloudStreamChannels.TO_UPPERCASE_FAILURES)
public void failed(Message<FailInfo> failed) { // payload has info about the failure
    Message m = MessageBuilder.withPayload(new MyException(failed.getPayload())).
         .copyHeaders(failed.getHeaders())
         .build();
    this.reply.send(m); // send directly to the gateway's reply channel (perhaps @Autowired)
}

It's important to propagate the reply channel header end to end, regardless of how many remote services are involved.

My obsession with Subaru's failed F1 engine, a flat-12, has gone on for years, and I had often heard that the motor nearly went on to power Koenigsegg's first supercar. Now I've finally heard the full story.
I should have heard this a year ago; that's when Christian von Koenigsegg first explained it. But I missed it tucked away on Koenigsegg's own blog. I've been busy listening to how the totally-not-a-Bond-villain Swedish supercar genius has been explaining why gravity works backwards, why camshafts don't need to exist and other technical points.
In any case, here's as much of the history as I can explain. Back in the late '80s and early '90s, the Japanese economy was in something of a bubble period and Japanese carmakers were on a tear developing some of the most extreme and fantastically pointless cars in modern history.
In the world of road cars, we're familiar with how Honda took on Ferrari with the NSX and how Toyota took on Mercedes with Lexus. The stories from racing are a bit more arcane. We do remember Mazda's victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a quad-rotor Wankel engine, but few recall how Subaru briefly entered Formula 1 with a flat-12.
It was a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated engine designed by the Italian legend Carlo Chiti, who had designed the flat-12s that powered Alfa Romeo to a pair of world constructor's championships all the way back in the mid 1970s. This Subaru-branded engine was at the tail end of Chiti's career, and it was never successful. It weighed too much, didn't make enough power, and its wide flat design meant that it compromised the aerodynamic underbody shape of the Coloni F1 car it was built for. The engine was so bad, it never even qualified for the starting grid at an F1 race. It was ultimately abandoned before its debut year was over, with a string of firings in its wake.
Most histories of this engine explain that the rights to the design got bought up by Koenigsegg at the end of the decade, but few explain exactly how that all worked. I assumed it was a speculative purchase that never went very far for Koenigsegg. I was wrong.
Christian von Koenigsegg himself explained how close he came to running the engine in his first production supercar last fall in this ask me anything-style blog. Koenigsegg said that he met a friend of Carlo Chiti's in the mid '90s, a few years after the Coloni-Subaru F1 effort flopped. This was also right after Koenigsegg's deal to use tuned Audi V8 engines, like the one in his first prototype, fell through.
Finding any good picture from Koenigsegg of their work on this engine is difficult. I spotted this picture of an engineer working on a full engine with what looks like a CC prototype in the background and I found this picture of an engine mounted in a Koenigsegg car, complete with extremely wonderful multicolored tennis balls protecting the individual throttle bodies. I couldn't find any full pictures of the outside of this running Koenigsegg prototype at all.
So there are still a few mysteries surrounding this incredible engine that never was. I would have loved to have heard it run.

UK: Schools Must Teach Britain Is an 'Immigration Nation' to Fight Islamophobia
The government should empower NGOs and race activists to police the media to ensure ethnic minorities are not portrayed in a bad light, and the school curriculum must be changed so that every child is taught Britain has no native population, according to a new report on Islamophobia.
In Islamophobia: Still a Challenge for Us All, "race relations" think tank the Runnymede Trust alleges that "anti-Muslim racism" is responsible for all inequalities between Muslims and other groups in Britain "across a range of outcomes, from health, housing and environment to education, employment and criminal justice".
Lamenting that Muslims are subject to "demonisation" and "racial stereotyping" in Britain, one of the report's 10 main recommendations is that the press and media be overhauled to ensure that news coverage is produced so as not to fuel negative perceptions of minority ethnic or religious groups.
[link to www.breitbart.com]
Notice the Marxist inversion of responsibility. 'Failure of colour' is the result of white bigotry, not 'behaviour of colour'.
Re: UK: Schools Must Teach Britain Is an 'Immigration Nation' to Fight Islamophobia
"Melting Pot", "Nation of Immigrants", "Proposition Nation", "Colonialism", "White Privilege" are repeated over and over to delegitimize White ownership of the countries they build no matter how long they have lived there.
t's the racial version of Marx's turn society upside down. A slow transformation via propaganda.
How it happened in the US and South Africa (I guess).
1)The US was created by white people for white people. Whites were the owners. It was an ethnocultural nation. Non-Whites had limited rights.
2) Next, using MLK the US was changed to a "color blind society", "nation of immigrants" and a "proposition nation". Everyone was equal. A country with no racial bond just economic/political ones.
3) Now, terms like "white privilege","unearned advantage" and "white supremacy" are used to delegitimize white control of anything. Whites are second class citizen in the country their ancestors created.

How do you solve a problem?
It would be better to insist that the invaders adapted to our ways and stop attacking us and raping people and committing bigamy ....
The are the ones who have to adapt...
......because the seem unable to adapt and because of too much properganda people are beginning to hate them...
I blame the BBC myself for latting them mouth off so much...
The properganda is also the problem....
The people who can't teach and are promoting this rubbish should be shut up they are part of the problem....
Too much mead I expect.....idiots.
Quoting: Tess.
Shoot these traitors!
also, teach them world history... how Islam is a very harsh form of tyranny when it gets established and becomes the majority in a democratic state. They have zero tolerance for other beliefs and relegate others to the fringe with no rights... or much worse.

White UK will accept Islam or be killed. Why?? Because you are too Politically Correct to Kill the Invaders. Your govt and your cops/military are aiding the enemy. You're fucked. Same with all of Europe. You've been outsmarted and betrayed.
You listen to your leaders and don't believe your lying eyes. You are in denial.

The greatest black on white crime was the Obama Presidency.
Communism is for LOSERS
Communism is SLAVERY
So predominantly white European ethnic, Christians, being born here for thousands of years doesn't make them natives.
Might as well go the whole hog and say planet Earth has no native humans because there weren't any once.
Maybe they should show how many Muslims the UK has had in the past 2,000 years, break the number down for each century.
When I can walk into a bank wearing a balaclava and stand in line talking gobbledegook to spirit gods without being shot dead I'll accept Islam in England.

I know I can't use any Cocoa/Objective C methods like performSelectorOnMainThread or NSNotification and I can't use anything that will allocate memory as this will potentially block the RT thread.
What is the correct method for communicating between threads? Can I use GCD message queues or is there a more basic system to use?
Edit:
Thinking about this a bit more, I suppose I could use a lock free ring buffer, which the RT thread puts a message into, and the UI thread checks for messages to pull out. Is this the best way and if so is there a system already to do this in CoreAudio or available elsewhere or do I need to code it up myself?

A: It turns out this was a lot simpler than I expected and the solution I came up with was just to use the Portaudio ring buffer. I needed to add pa_ringbuffer.[ch] and pa_memorybarrier.h to my project and then define a MessageData structure to store in the ring buffer.
typedef struct MessageData {
    MessageType type;
    union {
        struct {
            NSUInteger position;
        } position;
    } data;
} MessageData;

Then I allocated some space to store 32 messages and created the ring buffer.
_playbackData->RTToMainBuffer = malloc(sizeof(MessageData) * 32);
PaUtil_InitializeRingBuffer(&_playbackData->RTToMainRB, sizeof(MessageData),
                            32, _playbackData->RTToMainBuffer);

Finally I started an NSTimer for every 20ms to pull data from the ring buffer
while (PaUtil_GetRingBufferReadAvailable(&_playbackData->RTToMainRB)) {
    MessageData *dataPtr1, *dataPtr2;
    ring_buffer_size_t sizePtr1, sizePtr2;

    // Should we read more than one at a time?
    if (PaUtil_GetRingBufferReadRegions(&_playbackData->RTToMainRB, 1,
                                        (void *)&dataPtr1, &sizePtr1,
                                        (void *)&dataPtr2, &sizePtr2) != 1) {
        continue;
    }

    // Parse message
    switch (dataPtr1->type) {
        case MessageTypeEOS:
            break;

        case MessageTypePosition:
            break;

        default:
            break;
    }
    PaUtil_AdvanceRingBufferReadIndex(&_playbackData->RTToMainRB, 1);
}

Then in the realtime thread, pushing a message to the ringbuffer was simply
MessageData *dataPtr1, *dataPtr2;
ring_buffer_size_t sizePtr1, sizePtr2;

if (PaUtil_GetRingBufferWriteRegions(&data->RTToMainRB, 1,
                                     (void *)&dataPtr1, &sizePtr1,
                                     (void *)&dataPtr2, &sizePtr2)) {
    dataPtr1->type = MessageTypePosition;
    dataPtr1->data.position.position = currentPosition;

    PaUtil_AdvanceRingBufferWriteIndex(&data->RTToMainRB, 1);
}

A: A ringbuffer is a good solution. Two if you need to communicate both ways ie. inbox/outbox message passing.
This is a good implementation for iOS/Mac if you don't want to use Portaudio.

In a relaxed and welcoming place we will explore a range of hand-building processes which will help you to mould what begins as just a lump of clay into something unique that you want to keep.
We will discover how to pattern the surface of your clay object or sculpture and when the shape and texture is finished we allow the clay to dry hard.
Once the clay has set hard we will add colours and further texture to make it marvellous.
As well as learning these exciting skills you can also further your ability to select the right materials and processes. You will learn new words and way to measure, count and describe the shapes that you make.
With your newly found pottery skills you will be able to make something to treasure, forever.
Independently select and explore a range of materials and processes. Manual skills, Introducing new terminology. Measuring, counting and describing shapes. Feedback and evaluation is by informal discussion.
