The Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965 has never gotten as much attention as other parts of the Civil Rights Movement. Nancy Pearl talks with Ari Berman, author of Give Us the Ballot, The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America, a narrative history of the Voting Rights Act. Berman discusses highlights of the VRA, how it transformed American politics and democracy, and the counterrevolution that it sparked. He also talks about how a recent Supreme Court decision to strike down key parts of the VRA might affect the 2016 election, the first presidential election in 50 years without the full protection of the VRA.


Breach of payment terms has cost our society a lot.
Late payments generate crucial cash flow issues for companies. When exposed to arrears, the majority of corporations are forced to use accumulated assets for maintaining achieved business positions. This inevitably leads to recession, lay-offs, shallow trade, and finally, exodus of skilled workforce, the ultimate prerequisite for recovery.
We at Amicus iuris LLC believe that our proposal, as presented on these pages, is one of possible solutions for the outlined circumstances. We are looking forward to getting an opportunity to facilitate your cash flow.
We believe we have a solution for you!

Planning Board approves special use permit for new replacement hospital

On July 15, in less than an hour, the Town of Franklin Planning Board approved the special use application for the new Angel Medical Center Hospital.
Slated for completion, conservatively by 2022, according to Karen Gorby, CEO and CNO of Angel Medical Center, the replacement hospital will be located on Hunnicut Lane, just off Highway 23/441.
Town planner Justin Setser explained that a special use permit was applied for because the property is zoned Commercial Highway (C-3) and the size of the building exceeds, somewhat, the 80,000 square feet threshold.
"We held a neighborhood compatibility meeting June 27 for representatives of Angel and neighbors within 400 feet," said Setser, "and there were lots of questions, but no concerns or requirements. They were just curious."
At the July 15 meeting, board member Janet Green asked about a crosswalk to the Macon Center multi-use area that includes the new Bojangles and Haywood Smokehouse as well as Discover Church, A Stitch in Time, TPS Apparel, and more.
"It would be good if the hospital staff could walk over to eat and use services at that center," said Chair Tom Harris. Added Setser, "There will have to be some coordination to put in a sidewalk in order to have a crosswalk. In fact, my only real recommendation is to add more sidewalks [around the new hospital], but other than that they've [Angel Medical, now owned by HCA Healthcare] checked all the boxes."
Five "Findings of Fact" were agreed on July 15 and then approved unanimously by the Planning Board; they included:
a) The use or development is located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as to maintain or promote the public health, safety, and general welfare.
b) There are, or will be at the time they are required, adequate public facilities to serve the use or development as specific in 152.060, below.
c) The use or development complies with all required regulations and standards of this chapter or with variances thereto, if any, granted pursuant to division (S), below, and with all other applicable regulations.
d) The use or development is located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as to be compatible with the particular neighborhood in which it is to be located.
e) The use or development conforms with the general plans for the physical development of the town as embodied in this chapter, the Principles of Growth, the Thoroughfare Plan, and any other duly adopted plans of the town.
The new hospital will be situated on 12.89 acres, encompass 82,500 square feet and two floors, and have 139 parking spaces. In the hospital has been approved for 30 patient rooms, five intensive care unit (ICU) rooms, three operation rooms, 16 emergency room (ER) rooms, and two trauma rooms. Plus, there will be a helipad, cafeteria, and more.
The closest neighbor to the new hospital will be Franklin House, an assisted living and memory care center at 186 One Center Court. Sherry Mendel, senior design manager for the architectural firm of ESa in Nashville, Tenn., said a consideration is making sure that lighting does not spill over from the new hospital property onto Franklin House.
The current Angel Medical Center Hospital in Franklin is located at 120 Riverview Drive and was first built in the 1920s and has been added onto multiple times over the years, most significantly in 1956. There are no immediate plans for the use of the existing hospital after the new hospital is completed, according to Gorby.
Board Member Andrew Raby said that the new Angel Medical Center Hospital "will be good for the Town because we're expanding our infrastructure outwards."

Social media like Facebook and WhatsApp are valuable tools for communication of positive and constructive information. However, they are also dangerous forums through which cowards and small-minded people merchandise lies that they would not dare state face-to-face.
Once posted on the Internet, outright fabrications and myths become quotable sources for the gullible. Some unsuspecting cyber-citizens, believing that everything published via the Internet must be true, become part of the distribution chain of deception and defamation.
I was told that in the days leading up to the recent elections of the International Community of Banyakigezi (ICOB), in which I was candidate for president of the organization, some people descended into the gutter of sewer politics in an attempt to tarnish my name.
Whereas I did not bother to read the fiction that, I am told, was published on social media and the New Vision newspaper, many fair-minded people called and wrote to express their outrage.
They certainly did not merit any attention. They only merited pity and prayers for redemption.
By the saving grace of Jesus Christ, I easily forgive the slanderers and pray for their redemption from the dark and sad world of hatred and destruction in which evil thrives. I am very much aware of the politics behind the smear campaign. It goes with the territory when one deals with folks who substitute slander for reasoned argument.
It is to be expected when one upholds the truth in a situation where some people would rather engage in cover-up of criminality.
Diaspora Ugandans regularly condemn corruption and poor governance back home. Yet many are enablers of similar criminal conduct in Ugandan Diaspora organizations.
For example, a Ugandan pastor of a church steals the congregation's money. The council members who discover the crime and insist on removal of the pastor from his position are vilified and slandered.
Leaders of a Ugandan Diaspora organization are caught engaging in "creative accounting" and other attempts at sabotaging orderly governance. They resort to slander and gutter language against those who expose the fraud. Their supporters loudly cheer them on.
Perhaps none of this would matter if acted out in some lawless village back home where subjects glorify corruption and misconduct by their rulers.
Not so here in North America where the law eventually catches up with you. A California-based Ugandan lawyer and others recently sued the Ugandan North American Association (UNAA) and some of its former leaders. The charges are rather serious.
I am also told that the Inland Revenue Service of the USA is examining a complaint about UNAA's alleged financial mismanagement and other poor compliance with the requirements of a Section 501 (c) 3 Tax-exempt organization.
These are some of the consequences of the failure to shed the old village way of doing things.
They will continue to haunt Diaspora organizations whose members remain silent or turn a blind eye to obvious shenanigans and criminal conduct. Silence in the face of criminality and other misconduct by community organization leaders is tantamount to enabling the perpetuation of such behaviour.
Now, those of us who choose to boldly speak up and expose such sins will be subjected to defamation and third-rate fiction. But we rejoice because the Lord has already assured us in Matthew 5:11 that we are blessed when people insult us, persecute us and falsely say all kinds of evil against us because of Him.
Not that we are perfect ourselves. Not that we have attained the goal of faultless living and service to the Lord. However, we walk and speak with confidence, exposing facts and truths that may be inconvenient to some. We are able to forgive the slanderers because we are beneficiaries of the forgiveness we freely received from Christ who died so that we may be saved from life in l'cœur des ténèbres (the heart of darkness).
The Internet has become the Devil's new dark frontier. We must be alert and on guard. Paul's words in Ephesians 6: 10-20 assume greater urgency today. Encouraging us to be strong in the Lord and His mighty power, Paul instructs us to put on the full armor of God in our struggle against the devil's schemes and against the powers of this dark world.
The devil cannot win when we don the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
None of this precludes the use of the laws of Canada, the United States of America, Britain and other countries to invite the slanderers and distributers of the same to a conversation with lawyers and judges.
I can add, you (the writer)– and them (maynjans and co) –eat from the same plate as the most corrupt military dictator Mu7.

The Nautilus Maldives opens
PR Coverage
The Maldives, 3 February 2019: On a perfect sunny Sunday afternoon, The Nautilus Maldives welcomed its first guests, ushering in a new world of luxury in Baa atoll.
The vision of The Nautilus is to join the select group of private islands recognized as the best in the world.With its modern bohemian style, and concept of absolute freedom for its guests, who enjoy no rules, no dress codes, no set restaurant hours, no fixed menu choices, its driving philosophy is to make guests feel not only completely at home, but also as if time itself no longer exists.
As a result, a stay at The Nautilus is noticeably different from anywhere else: here service is truly bespoke and activities follow the lead of the natural rhythms of nature and desires of the guest.
The entire team welcomed the first guests with champagne, bodu beru and ribbon cutting ceremony, with the highlight being the 'first steps' on the island by guests. Celebrations continued on to the evening with sunset cocktails and the first ever 'Nautilus Rising' ceremony as the distinctive nautilus shell in the pool gradually comes alight, giving the appearance of it rising out of the water.
A spectacular day, promising many more such in the years to come as this new star in the Maldives makes its mark.
Thiladhoo photoshoot.
About The Nautilus
With only 26 beach and ocean houses on a tiny coral reef-encircled island, The Nautilus Maldives is a bohemian hideaway located in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO biosphere reserve.
Here, a kaleidoscopic wonderland of incredible marine life awaits discovery: trips to worldrenowned Hanifaru Bay to swim amongst manta rays; diving on iridescent coral reefs; exploring remote sandbanks and deserted islands or just cruising the ocean on a custombuilt yacht are among the many adventures guests can look forward to.
Built by a Maldivian entrepreneur, this is his ultimate project in the country, created to express his personal vision of the best that luxury can be – not just in the Maldives, but worldwide. With its philosophy "a world of your own making", this is a celebration of the individual spirit, liberation and freedom unconditional. A place where guests are encouraged to be themselves and shape their own personal journey. And, most of all, to celebrate the people they're with, in any way they choose. Because in the end, it's these simple, elemental pleasures – that ability to simply be – that form the greatest luxury of all. Be part of the Nautilus' story:

Bay Area Californians Moving to Where Living Costs Less
(p. A1) SAN FRANCISCO — Christine Johnson, a public-finance consultant with an engineering degree, was running for a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
She crisscrossed her downtown district talking about her plans to stimulate housing construction, improve public transit and deal with the litter of "needles and poop" that have become a common sight on the city's sidewalks.
Today, a year after losing the race, Ms. Johnson, who had been in the Bay Area since 2004, lives in Denver with her husband and 4-year-old son. In a recent interview, she spoke for millions of Californians past and present when she described the cloud that high rent and child-care costs had cast over her family's savings and future.
"I fully intended San Francisco to be my home and wanted to make the neighborhoods better," she said. "But after the election we started tallying up what life could look like elsewhere, and we didn't see friends in other parts of the country experiencing challenges the same way."
(p. A12) Greg Biggs is adding more machines and moving jobs to cheaper locations. Mr. Biggs is the chief executive of Vander-Bend Manufacturing, a company in San Jose that makes metal products including surgical components and racks where data centers store computer servers. Vander-Bend has doubled its head count over the past five years, to about 900 employees, and pays $17 to $40 an hour for skilled technicians who need training but not a college degree.
This is precisely the sort of middle-income job needed in the Bay Area, which like many urban areas is bifurcating into an economy of high-wage knowledge jobs and low-wage service jobs.
The problem is he can't find enough workers. The unemployment rate in San Jose is around 2 percent, and many of Vander-Bend's employees already commute two or more hours to work. To compensate, Mr. Biggs has bought several van-size robot arms that pull metal panels from a pile then stamp them flush, bend their edges and assemble them into racks. He has opened a second location 75 miles away in Stockton, where labor and housing costs are a lot lower.
This is in most ways a success story. Vander-Bend is raising wages and training workers. The machines aren't replacing jobs but instead make them more efficient, and the company is bringing higher-wage positions to a region that needs more of them. But for workers, even substantial income gains are being offset by rising costs.

Art Carden Praises "Openness to Creative Destruction"
Economist Art Carden has written a fine review of my Openness book under the title "New Ideas Are the Key to Economic Development." The review is fair, mostly positive, and well-written. His main reservation is that he sides with many other distinguished libertarians, but against me, on my argument that the patent system should be reformed rather than abolished.
Here is the final paragraph of Carden's review:
I am glad to see Openness to Creative Destruction appear in print. It strikes a fine balance between detail and a big-picture perspective that, I think, can be read profitably by specialists and students alike. Anyone who wants to understand how the world grew rich and, importantly, what will sustain our enrichment would do well to have this book on the shelf.

National Institutes of Health Rejected Funding for Moir's Radical Theories
(p. B14) Robert D. Moir, a Harvard scientist whose radical theories of the brain plaques in Alzheimer's defied conventional views of the disease, but whose research ultimately led to important proposals for how to treat it, died on Friday [December 20, 2019] at a hospice in Milton, Mass. He was 58.
His wife, Julie Alperen, said the cause was glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer.
Dr. Moir, who grew up on a farm in Donnybrook, a small town in Western Australia, had a track record for confounding expectations. He did not learn to read or write until he was nearly 12; Ms. Alperen said he had told her that the teacher at his one-room schoolhouse was "a demented nun." Yet, she said, he also knew from age 7 that he wanted to be a scientist.
Conventional wisdom held that beta amyloid accumulation was a central part of the disease, and that clearing the brain of beta amyloid would be a good thing for patients.
Dr. Moir proposed instead that beta amyloid is there for a reason: It is the way the brain defends itself against infections. Beta amyloid, he said, forms a sticky web that can trap microbes. The problem is that sometimes the brain goes overboard producing it, and when that happens the brain is damaged.
The implication is that treatments designed to clear the brain of amyloid could be detrimental. The goal would be to remove some of the sticky substance, but not all of it.
The idea, which Dr. Moir first proposed 12 years ago, was met with skepticism. But he kept at it, producing a string of papers with findings that supported the hypothesis. Increasingly, some of the doubters have been won over, said Rudolph Tanzi, a close friend and fellow Alzheimer's researcher at Harvard.
Dr. Moir's unconventional ideas made it difficult for him to get federal grants. Nearly every time he submitted a grant proposal to the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Tanzi said in a phone interview, two out of three reviewers would be enthusiastic, while a third would simply not believe it. The proposal would not be funded.

Clint Eastwood's "Stubborn Libertarian Streak"
(p. C6) Though he acts bravely and responsibly at a moment of crisis, Jewell (Paul Walter Hauser) isn't entirely a hero, and "Richard Jewell" doesn't quite belong in the gallery with "Sully" and "American Sniper," Eastwood's other recent portraits of exceptional Americans in trying circumstances.
Eastwood, Ray and Hauser (who is nothing short of brilliant) cleverly invite the audience to judge Jewell the way his tormentors eventually will: on the basis of prejudices we might not even admit to ourselves. He's overweight. He lives with his mother, Bobi (Kathy Bates). He has a habit of taking things too seriously — like his job as a campus police officer at a small liberal-arts college — and of trying a little too hard to fit in. He treats members of the Atlanta Police Department and the F.B.I. like his professional peers, and seems blind to their condescension. "I'm law enforcement too" he says to the agents who are investigating him as a potential terrorist, with an earnestness that is both comical and pathetic.
Most movies, if they bothered with someone like Jewell at all, would make fun of him or relegate him to a sidekick role. Eastwood, instead, makes the radical decision to respect him as he is, and to show how easily both his everyday shortcomings and his honesty and decency are distorted and exploited by the predators who descend on him at what should be his moment of glory.
Eastwood has always had a stubborn libertarian streak, and a fascination with law enforcement that, like Jewell's, is shadowed by ambivalence and outright disillusionment.
"Richard Jewell" is a rebuke to institutional arrogance and a defense of individual dignity, sometimes clumsy in its finger-pointing but mostly shrewd and sensitive in its effort to understand its protagonist and what happened to him. The political implications of his ordeal are interesting to contemplate, but its essential nature is clear enough. He was bullied.

French Regulations Require Only Doctors Can Identify the Dead
(p. A4) DOUAI, France — Her mother's death had been expected. Terminally ill with breast cancer, she lay in a medical bed in her living room, visited daily by a nurse.
But when Sandra Lambryczak's 80-year-old mother died earlier this year, in the predawn hours of a Saturday morning, the daughter suddenly discovered a growing problem in France's medical system: By law, the body couldn't be moved until the death was certified by a medical doctor, but a shortage of personnel can sometimes force families to keep their deceased loved ones at home for hours or even days.
Doctors have resisted pressure from some politicians to delegate the authority to certify deaths to other health care officials. They argue that it is a serious medical procedure and that a mistake in noting the cause of death could have legal consequences.
"There are doctors, if they don't know the patient well, say to themselves that they don't want trouble later on," said Dr. Olivier Bouchy, the vice president of the French Medical Council in the department of Meuse. "Signing a death certificate is not harmless."
As with many things in France, tradition is perhaps also an obstacle to changing the doctor's role in certifying deaths. The death certificate process, Dr. Bouchy said, harked back to an earlier time.
In France, the state's role in regulating people's daily lives — including in matters of health — remains strong. So the lack of a doctor, especially at the emotionally vulnerable moment when a family member dies, can feel like a deep betrayal.
"We felt abandoned by the state," said Frédéric Deleplanque, who had to wait more than two days for a doctor to certify the death of his father-in-law, Jean-Luc Bajeux, a retired autoworker. "We were nothing."

Boudreaux Names "Openness" as One of Seven "Superb" Books Published in 2019
George Mason economics professor Donald Boudreaux, in his essay "Some Great Books for Stuffing Stockings" says "I offer here a list of seven superb books published in 2019 that your open-minded friends and family members are sure to love."
I am honored that he included my Openness to Creative Destruction as one of the seven:
Arthur Diamond, Jr. Openness to Creative Destruction: Sustaining Innovative Dynamism. As does George Will, Diamond emphasizes the vital role played by individual entrepreneurs in helping to create modern mass prosperity. (The accounts of the challenges and efforts of flesh-and-blood entrepreneurs through the years is alone worth the price of this book.) And as does Deirdre McCloskey, Diamond recognizes also the importance of widespread respect for innovators and businesspeople. Making clear that modernity's prosperity is the result of creative destruction, this book offers an unusually effective and powerful explanation of genuine market competition and a brilliant brief for its indispensability and for its goodness.

As UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador, Kareena Kapoor Khan will travel to small towns to spread awareness about good health and nutrition among expecting mothers and children.
Says a source, "Recent statistics have shown that majority women in the interiors do not know the basic do's and don't s during and post pregnancy. Lack of knowledge on the subject has also had fatalistic consequences for both the baby and the mother. Kareena will travel to small towns in the interiors of India to talk about the safety measures that mothers should take in the first six months post pregnancy. She will also speak about proper nutrition and healthy diets they should follow".
When contacted said Kareena, "It is possible to keep more babies alive and healthy. The government is doing everything it can to ensure adequate service delivery. However, it's not only about the administration doing its bit but also about civil society taking relevant and collective action".

Flora Austriaca, (abreviado Fl. Austriac.),  es un libro con descripciones botánicas escrito por el médico y botánico austriaco Nicolaus Thomas Host, que fue publicado en dos volúmenes; el vol. 1, en 1827; y el vol. 2, en 1831.

Nicolaus Thomas Host fue el médico personal de Francisco I de Austria. Siendo joven, Host integra una serie de expediciones botánicas, usualmente acompañando a su amigo, el botánico Joseph von Jacquin (1766-1839), el hijo del "Linneo austríaco" - Nikolaus Joseph Jacquin (1727-1817). Exploraron Austria, Iliria y Tirol, Hungría, Croacia. Algunas de sus colecciones realizadas en tales expediciones se incorporan al "Jardín de Plantas Austríacas", establecidas por Francisco I en 1793. Host llegaría a ser el primer director de ese Jardín, ubicado en los Palacios Belvedere de Viena.

Dark nights, chunky knits, and a good movie…winter has arrived, and here at Soak&Sleep we're excited. We've got our beds all kitted out with blankets and throws, and have unearthed the warm high tog duvet ready for cold nights. But we were left scratching our heads about what other things we could do to keep warm this winter. Of course a soaky bath with our new bath oil (why not give our new toiletries a gander) is a must, but we got into the hot topic of warm drinks to take the edge off.
So without further ado, we welcome our new blog series over the coming months 'Warm Drink Wednesday', where we will be showcasing our favourite hot beverages along with a helpful step by step blog, and video.
To start this exciting venture, we posed the question to the Soak&Sleep family, and also headed to the world wide web to get the best recipes.
This week we're starting with Rosie's (from our marketing team) favourite, a London Fog; an exciting twist on your daily Early Grey comfort.
Mix together and serve…the perfect twist to your daily cuppa, ideal when it's dark and cold, and you need a good pick me up.
Check out our Youtube step by step guide, and subscribe if you don't want to miss another warm drink Wednesday.

Good sleep at night is considered to be an essential factor contributing to good overall well-being and health. If one has any difficulty in sleeping, have a look at this to find out how to improve it.
Preferably, spend about eight hours sleeping in a 24 hour day. Healthy adults require no less than seven to eight hours.
Wake up at a fixed time every single day. Try to restrict the distinction in your sleeping time to about one hour. Keep the sleep schedule stable.
If you can't fall asleep within 20 minutes, try to get out of your bed and relax with soothing music. After that, get back to your bedroom when you're fatigued. Repeat as necessary.
The quality of your bed can impact enhancing your sleep. Furthermore, getting a poor quality bed can also cause you to have more serious neck pain and lower back pain as well.
Therefore, it is necessary to opt for a good pillow for the neck that reduces the pressure on the shoulders, neck, and back which will facilitate a very good night's sleep. It is suggested that you should improve your bedding no less than each 5-8 years.
How good your sleep is depends greatly on your daytime eating habits, particularly in the period of time before sleeping.
Sleeping problems can be triggered up to ten to twelve hours after caffeine use. Likewise, smoking is another stimulant which interferes with your sleep, particularly when it is used close to bedtime.
Try to have dinner as early as possible in the evening as well as avoiding heavy and rich foods in 2 hours before sleeping. Acidic or spicy foods can also trigger heartburn and stomach problems.
Though the nightcap may offer you relaxation, it disrupts your cycle when trying to sleep.
Lots of water may lead to constant bathroom trips all night.
Fitness, particularly cardio, improves the quality and length of your sleep. For example, vigorous aerobic exercise keeps increasing your body temperature for around 4 hours within 30 minutes from start preventing sleep. Once it starts to cool down, your brain is signaled to released sleep-inducing melatonin, therefore you'll get sleepy later.
Do you feel incapable of getting up day after day? Excessive pressure, anger, and worry are negative factors inhibiting good sleep.
• If your thoughts are dominated by constant concern and anxiety at night, follow steps that help in ceasing worrying and creating a more positive attitude towards life. Counting sheep is even more useful than being anxious at bedtime.
• If the pressure of school, work, or family is causing you to awake, stress management may help. By using effective time management, productive stress handling, and maintaining a calm and positive perspective, one can sleep well at night.
• If your brain is much overstimulated during the day, it can be very hard for it to slow down and unwind at night. Throughout the day, most of us harm our brains with constant phone checking, emails, or social media while doing tasks. Try to spend fixed times for these things, and concentrate on one task only. Regarding sleep at night, your brain won't be familiar with finding fresh stimulation and you'll be more likely to unwind.
A relaxing shower and bath may help. Research has pointed out that it can enhance the all-round sleep quality as well as help people sleep faster, particularly the elderly. In a study, taking a hot bath 90 minutes before bed enhances sleep quality and allow participants to get deeper sleep.
Decorate your room ideally. This is to say, often, the environment should be dark, quiet and cool. Avoid being exposed to light as it will make you feel more difficult to fall asleep.
In addition, avoid the lengthy use of light-emitting screens just before going to bed. Take room-darkening shades, fans, earplugs or other devices into consideration to offer an environment that meets your sleep requirements. Before bedtime, doing restful activities such as using relaxation techniques or taking a bath might help.

FPGA adaptability combines with ASIC routing structure
Posted on June 3, 2019 by Electronic Products
Achronix's FPGAs facilitate high-bandwidth data acceleration for AI applications with ASIC-like performance
By Majeed Ahmad, contributing writer
Achronix Semiconductor Corp. claims that its Speedster7t family of FPGAs designed for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and other high-bandwidth workloads offers ASIC-like performance while ensuring FPGA adaptability. Achronix calls it "FPGA+," as it blends FPGA programmability with ASIC routing structures and compute engines.
The Speedster7t FPGAs, manufactured on TSMC's 7-nm FinFET process, feature a 2D network-on-chip (NoC) and a high-density array of new machine-learning processors (MLPs). It also features high-bandwidth GDDR6 interfaces, 400G Ethernet ports, and PCI Express Gen5, and they are all interconnected to deliver ASIC-level bandwidth while retaining the full programmability of FPGAs.
Achronix said that the Speedster7t devices are the only FPGAs that support GDDR6 memory devices. Each GDDR6 memory controller is capable of supporting 512 Gbits/s of bandwidth, and the up to eight GDDR6 controllers in a Speedster7t device can support an aggregate GDDR6 bandwidth of 4 Tbits/s, which delivers the equivalent memory bandwidth of an HBM-based FPGA at a fraction of the cost, said the company.
According to Achronix, its engineering team has redesigned the entire FPGA architecture to balance on-chip processing, interconnects, and external I/O so that designers can maximize the throughput of data-intensive workloads like those found in edge- and server-based AI and ML applications in networking and storage realms.
The new FPGAs aim to eliminate bottlenecks and ensure the free flow of data in AI and ML applications. The devices are designed to accept massive amounts of data from multiple high-speed sources, distribute the data to programmable on-chip algorithmic and processing units, and then deliver the results with the lowest latency, said Achronix.
The FPGAs also provide advanced security with bitstream security features with multiple layers of defense for protecting bitstream secrecy and integrity. Keys are encrypted based on a tamper-resistant physically unclonable function (PUF), while bitstreams are encrypted and authenticated by 256-bit AES-GCM.
For protection from side-channel attacks, bitstreams are segmented, with separately derived keys used for each segment, and the decryption hardware uses differential power analysis (DPA) countermeasures. The FPGAs also use a 2,048-bit RSA public key authentication protocol to activate the decryption and authentication hardware.
The first devices and development boards for evaluation will be available in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Review: TaeTiSeo's 'Holler' is Trio's Best Yet
2014-09-19 2016-10-29 , EDITORIAL, Girls' Generation, Holler, Seohyun, TaeTiSeo, Taeyeon, Tiffany, 0
Two years after the record-breaking release of their debut mini album and single "Twinkle," Girls' Generation trio unit TaeTiSeo is back with a new sassy and sophisticated mini album entitled, "Holler."
Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun set the bar high with their 2012 smash hit "Twinkle" – check out our track-by-track review below to see how "Holler" stacks up.
1) Holler
"Holler" is bold, brassy, and brazen. With a fat baritone sax and a stacked horn section bopping out the track's dirty jazz/funk rhythm, the mini album's title track has a much sexier, much more substantial feel to it than "Twinkle" did. "Holler"'s horn-driven rhythm is dangerous and almost predatory; so much so that the song oozes confidence, sex appeal, and a slight tinge of arrogance without even taking the lyrics into account. The single is a unique blend of styles, most notably jazz, funk, and of course, pop. In fact it's almost as if the girls' voices act as improvised instrumental adlibs in jazz tune, filling the space between the horn section's punctuations. We all know that TaeTiSeo can hit the high notes (and "Holler" is certainly no exception in that regard), but the best part about the vocals is that barring the chorus, the song's melody is in the mid-to-lower register, allowing the girls to show off a glossy, velvety middle range that hasn't been as prominently spotlighted in the past. With the help of the bottom-heavy instrumentation, "Holler" has a thick, hefty feel to it that compliments TaeTiSeo's lush vocals and makes the single incredibly satisfying to listen to.
2) Adrenaline
The album's jazzy theme continues with "Adrenaline." The song has a "Sing, Sing, Sing" drum intro that Benny Goodman himself might have written if her were alive in the time of Ableton. While the verses are jazzy and seductive, the song quickly moves into a chaotic, happy-go-lucky chorus. At first I found this transition a bit harsh, but when the lyrics are taken into consideration, that sort of harsh transition into the carnival-tune-of-a-chorus seems intentional as a metaphor for love. The song is about how the girls fall in love so uncontrollably that it's dizzying and yet somehow electrifying, which is exactly what the chorus feels like. In fact the chorus is like the rush of adrenaline that you get when you ride one of those whirling carnival rides with the flashing lights; it's disorienting, turbulent and exciting all at once, which is precisely the way that the lyrics describe falling in love. Then, right when you get off the ride and back on solid ground with the verse, you feel the pull of the chorus coming and hop right back onto that dizzying ride.
3) Whisper
With lyrics like, "Oh baby come to me, little by little, no baby, not too fast," and "Your soft lips, a kiss that softly melts like caramel, I'll close my eyes for you, yeah baby it's for you," "Whisper" might be TaeTiSeo's first ever sexy song. This is the most bold that the group has been thus far in regard to sexual content; up until now Girls' Generation has played it pretty safe as far as their sexiness goes, choosing to use implicit rather than explicit sexuality through coy eye contact and discreetly seductive choreography. While it's certainly not anywhere close to, say, a Jay Park song, or really anything provocative per se, it is definitely the furthest TaeTiSeo (and even Girls' Generation as a whole) have gone thus far. Even if the lyrics don't explicitly imply sexytime, the track and melody certainly do. The use of triplets in the melody line is a classic component of sexy slow jams, as is the ascending waterfall arpeggio runs by the synth in the background. TaeTiSeo does a good job walking that thin line between safe and sexy by using falsetto, which keeps the song soft and innocent instead of crossing the line into a raunchy Chris Brown "Take You Down" type of tune. "Whisper" helps give TaeTiSeo listeners and fans a little push towards accepting the more mature women that they have become in the seven years that they have been in this industry, but does so without being overwhelming or straying too far from the sound and identity that they have established for themselves as Girls' Generation.
4) Stay
"Stay" is one of my favorite songs on this album if only because it shows off TaeTiSeo's diverse vocal textures and range (also the song is really catchy). Despite its relatively basic Europop/disco structure, the way that the melody line of this song is written allows Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun to boast their vocal skill with various runs, trills, and lifts that a more complex melody probably wouldn't have room for. The key of "Stay" also gives the girls the freedom to work both in falsetto, soaring up to high notes with an airy, breezy ease, as well as in chest voice, slamming the high notes with thick, rich vocals. One thing that I found pleasantly surprising is that Tiffany's rap is actually excellent on this track. Girls' Generation has never had a designated rapper the same way that most other K-pop groups do, and as a result a lot of their rap parts in the past have come out a bit awkward and robotic. This time around (and in "Holler" as well), Tiffany adds her own unique color and character to the rap, lending more purpose and authenticity to the verse.
5) Only U
This is exactly the kind of pop/R&B ballad that we've all been waiting for on this album. It's inevitable because – let's be real – these sort of songs are right up Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun's alley. In fact, Seohyun wrote the lyrics for "Only U" whilst vacationing in the Swiss Alps, which is coincidentally the classiest scenario in which I have ever heard of anyone writing a song. The track has a style and feel very similar to Rihanna's "Take a Bow," with an introductory piano ballad line and subsequent entrance of that classic boom-clap-boom-clap R&B beat. As the song flows into the chorus from the verse, the melody modulates from minor to major, temporarily turning the song into a lighters-in-the-air-and-everybody-sway-together anthem. In this way the ballad weaves seamlessly back and forth between R&B and pop, all while maintaining a cohesive sound as a whole. I'm not sure if it's the song that fits TaeTiSeo or if it's TaeTiSeo that fits the song, but either way, "Only U" is a great track and the girls execute it flawlessly.
6) Eyes
All this song needs is a Big Sean or Iggy Azalea feature and boom, we've got Ariana Grande's latest chart-topping jam. The verse of "Eyes" is similar to Grande's latest hit "Problem" in so many ways it's freaky; from the brassy sax hook to the '90s pop melody line to the chord progressions to Tiffany's sassy Iggy Azalea-esque unhhs, this track screams Ariana. Then again, if TaeTiSeo had released this song before "Problem," the tables would be turned. In all honesty Ariana Grande and TaeTiSeo have had similar styles from the beginning – "Twinkle" or "Love Sick" are both absolutely tracks that you would be likely to hear on an Ariana Grande album. Either way, "Eyes" is a jam. The sax hook is catchy as hell and so are the verses and chorus. The melody line of this song is a real doozy vocally, and one that only Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun could pull off. Their voices compliment each other's extremely well on this track, and the muted effect on the "for your eyes only" line in the chorus adds a bit of edge to an otherwise pop princess song. "Eyes" is a firm punctuation to the end of the album, bringing everything together as a full, sturdy body of work.
Overall I found this album very impressive. The great thing about TaeTiSeo is that they can tackle songs with more complex and vocally challenging melodies than Girls' Generation as a whole can, and they go above and beyond to prove that with this album; this might be the best their voices have ever sounded. Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun employ their individually varying vocal tones, timbres and techniques to paint a rich and diverse musical landscape that is rare not just in K-pop but in all popular music. The album's tracks are well-balanced in terms of the types of genres and lyrical content used, and its overall lavish, luxurious style brings the whole thing together as one cohesive body of work whose artistic value and appeal solidifies TaeTiSeo as one of the greatest vocal and performance groups of today.

More than 80% adolescents worldwide not physically active: WHO
Outlook November 22, 2019 13:50 IST More than 80% adolescents worldwide not physically active: WHO
Geneva, Nov 22 (IANS) More than 80 per cent of adolescents worldwide are not physically active, including 85 per cent girls and 78 per cent boys, putting their health at risk by not doing regular exercise and spending too much time on screen, according to a new study from World Health Organization (WHO).
The study, published in the journal The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, based on data reported by 1.6 million 11 to 17-year-old students - found that across all 146 countries studied between 2001-2016, girls were less active than boys in all but four (Tonga, Samoa, Afghanistan and Zambia).
According to the WHO, levels of insufficient physical activity in adolescents continue to be extremely high, compromising their current and future health.
"Urgent policy action to increase physical activity is needed now, particularly to promote and retain girls'' participation in physical activity," said study author Dr Regina Guthold, WHO.
Most countries in the study (73 per cent, 107 of 146) saw this gender gap widen between 2001-2016.
The study also found that Bangladesh and India had the lowest rates of physical inactivity for boys and girls.
For the findings, the researchers estimated how many 11 to 17-year-olds do not meet this recommendation by analysing data collected through school-based surveys on physical activity levels.
The assessment included all types of physical activity, such as time spent in active play, recreation and sports, active domestic chores, walking and cycling or other types of active transportation, physical education and planned exercise.
Physical activity trends show slight improvement for boys, none for girls
The study found that the greatest decreases in boys being insufficiently active were Bangladesh -- from 73 per cent to 63 per cent, Singapore (78 per cent to 70 per cent), Thailand (78 per cent to 70 per cent), Benin (79 per cent to 71 per cent), Ireland (71 per cent to 64 per cent), and the US (71 per cent to 64 per cent).
However, among girls, changes were small, ranging from a two percentage-point decrease in Singapore (85 per cent to 83 per cent) to a one percentage-point increase in Afghanistan (87 per cent to 88 per cent).
Bangladesh was the country with the lowest prevalence of insufficient physical activity among boys, girls, and both genders combined (63 per cent, 69 per cent and 66 per cent, respectively).
Some of the lowest levels of insufficient activity in boys were found in Bangladesh, India and the US.
The authors noted that the lower levels of insufficient physical activity in Bangladesh and India (where 63 per cent and 72 per cent of boys were insufficiently active in 2016, respectively) may be explained by the strong focus on national sports like cricket.
For girls, the lowest levels of insufficient activity were seen in Bangladesh and India, and are potentially explained by societal factors, such as increased domestic chores in the home for girls.
The authors noted that if these trends continue, the global target of a 15 per cent relative reduction in insufficient physical activity - which would lead to a global prevalence of less than 70 per cent by 2030 - will not be achieved.
This target was agreed to by all countries at the World Health Assembly in 2018.

There are no known compatibility issues with analog joysticks.
With digital joysticks and non-standard gameport type joysticks & devices, there may be incompatibilities that will prevent the JAMBox from performing its intended function. Below is a guide to do some basic troubleshooting.
Step (1) With JAMBox disconnected and your joystick/gamepad connected to the PC, use Control Panel and open (Joystick, or Game Controllers) icon. Verify your device is present.
If it is present, use Advanced Tab, and verify it is on Controller ID 1. Then return to the General tab, highlight controller, and click on Properties - use Test tab and test your Joystick device operation & buttons. Hint: You may need to calibrate / re-calibrate to ensure proper operation at this point.
If it is not present, consult the manual / CD / Floppy disk that came with the joystick device, and follow instructions. Do NOT Proceed with JAMBox installation until you can test & operate your device in Control Panel!
Step (2) Now connect JAMBox, but DO NOT plug in any switches - JAMBox chains between the game controller port on your PC and the actual Joystick device / Game controller. From Control Panel, verify Joystick operation as in step 1. If there is a problem at this point, verify NO SWITCHES are connected to the front of JAMBox and verify plugs are properly connected and firmly pushed in.
Step (3) Now plug in a switch to Button 1 and test in Control Panel. If you experience difficulties, then the joystick device is NOT compatible with JAMBox.
There are 4 range (axis) inputs and 4 binary switch inputs on the standard gameport. Analog joysticks typically use 2 buttons, but can use 1, or 3, or 4 buttons directly via the gameport. The original design was for 2 "2-axis, 2-button" joysticks (so 2 people could play a game on the PC).
Due to the nature of binary logic, 4 bits (binary switches) can be polled to create 16 possible combinations. "Digital" joysticks use this property to add more than 4 buttons to a single joystick. Since they typically use their own driver, they cease to follow the standards of the gameport interface, and are NOT compatible with the original specifications of an open & closed switch (that JAMBox interfaces via the gameport).
It is possible that some combination of switches may work - this is solely dependent on the design of the joystick. Test various combinations within the "Test" area of Control Panel to see if a usable configuration is possible.
Try using the Standard Gameport driver (under manufacturer Microsoft) to a 2-axis, 2-button joystick controller (General, Add button) and test with joystick - if this generic driver does not work, then you are using a device that is NOT compatible with the gameport and hence, not compatible with JAMBox.
Use an analog joystick - most of the advanced joysticks are not ideal for users that need switch capability.

IIRC Andrew's lease runs from 2003--2078. It is structured in such a way that he can not make any monetary gain on the value of the property. The lease can only be reassigned to his widow, his daughters or a trust established in their benefit.
Let's be real...if he enjoys a similar longevity to his parents he could easily live until some time in the 2050s (90+). At which time his daughters would be in their 60s and should be well established on their own...own residences not in a London palace (sorry girls but you got to go). Also the BRF, and feeling towards the family, will have had another 30+ years of development and evolution.
I'd love to know how much "help" Andrew receives from mummy to cover household expenses because lord knows that will change under Charles and if the rumors about how William feels about Andrew are true there's no way he'll pay for Andy (or his cousins) to live in luxury. The girls also wouldn't be able to afford any substantial renovation or upkeep, let alone extending the lease further.
My guess...either once Andrew dies, or possibly when Charlotte or Louis marries, the York branch will give up the lease and either Charlotte or Louis will untake a new lease. Royal Lodge can not be lease on a completely commercial basis because of the Royal Chapel of All Saints so a royal lease is the best we're ever going to see.
HM will most likely have to pony up to keep Andrew in the style to which he has become accustomed since all of his shady business dealings are being investigated. He may find he needs to give up the lease sooner than later. I can't see Bea or Eugenie wishing to live there either.
As to Louis or Charlotte's occupancy, it all will depend on who is or isn't going to be a working royal. IIRC when Charles first bandied about his plan for a slimmed down monarchy neither of his sons were married. He may want to start extrapolating this out and figuring out what to do with the royal residences in the future. If it's not occupied by a member of the BRF it will need to be mothballed or used as Frogmore is.
I can see Charlotte and Louis being working royals, maybe not their kids. It sounds slightly cruel, but maybe Wills and Kate could learn from the current problem of who should be a working royal/HRH/receive income from the Crown and not have a fourth child. Or at least the BRF should review the Letters Patent Act and firmly reiterate what the plan is for the future of the BRF, as Sweden recently did.
If entirely honest, I don't think the Andrew problem will be solved while QEII is alive. I support Eugenie and Beatrice finding their own way, such as the anti-slavery collective (I'll leave any comments about Andrew's involvement with human/child trafficking here) or other causes that they could work for, for example how Princess Madeleine works for Childhood which is not affiliated with her 'royal' calendar. I do not see a need to punish those two for their parent's actions.
Could someone enlighten me, I've been wondering for a while, but can royal dukedoms be revoked? I know it was the divorce settlement, but I am really surprised Sarah is still Duchess of York. Should Andrew remarry to someone else, will wife no.2 be titled 'Duchess of York', or by one of Andrew's lesser titles?
Oh_Caroline
Peerages, royal or otherwise, can only be revoked by Act of Parliament.
Any wife (regardless of number) is HRH The Princess/Duchess/Countess of Whatever while a ex wife (divorce) is NN, Princess/Duchess/Countess of Whatever until she remarries. The only time a "lesser" title has been used is for Camilla because although she his HRH The Princess of Wales the fit the public would have thrown would have been epic so they did the smart thing with HRH The Duchess of Cornwall.

Royal Lodge would be lovely for Charlotte and her family unless she wants out of the family business. Which honestly Beatrice and Eugenie should get out of. I think the family invited Edo to Christmas because they know with the Andy sh*tshow they need to keep him close so that he and Beatrice make it to the alter. Smart move but uncle Charles needs to sit down with the girls and say we love you and think that you should keep your patronages as long as they will have you but we now need to make room for William's family to fill up most of the space. They need to go quietly there is no future for them. I think they are basically decent people who are probably definitely spoiled and clueless but they are becoming wives and soon mothers and this is just a natural point to say the train stops here but we'll see you at the Christmas lunch next year.
I think she should follow Anne's example when the time comes and choose a private home. Otherwise, it's a continuation of how it's done now with minor Royals hanging on. If Charles gets his way George's line would be the only working Royals, correct?
I believe so...the monarch (William), children of the monarch (George, Charlotte, Louis), children of the heir (George's kids), and previous working royals still able/willing/wanted/etc. (Harry). Oh and spouses...well at least Catherine, George's wife, and George's eldest child's spouse. I'd like to see it limited even further to just the monarch and future monarch(s) plus spouses but that probably won't happen.
My second guess for Royal Lodge is that it will either be used by The Dowager (if any) or The Heir (if an adult)...just like Clarence House. Royal Lodge (like Frogmore House) can't be let commercially because of the chapel (Frogmore because of the burial ground) so someone living in it makes sense. Now while Highgrove is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall it doesn't have the same security concerns so the Duchy of Cornwall can really do whatever with it...it doesn't have to be the heir's country home.
luvcharles
Royal Lodge won't be available for close on 50 years (that is how long Andrew has paid the lease for). I remember when the government checked out the payment and worked out that the girls would both be in their 80s when the lease expires. Bagshot it even longer as Edward took at a 99 year lease while Andrew only paid for a 75 year lease. Those leases have already been paid in full to cover those years.

IMO, as the Gloucesters and Kents will be retired and Will's kids are still too young, there could be some space for Bea and Eug for the next 10-15 years, but I don't think it will happen. Thankfully, Eug seems to stand on her own feet (with the help of her name and title, of course) but Bea is like a feather in the wind. Both girls have money and trustfunds and being secured financially is a big thing but when someone lacks of character and vision for their own life, then there's a problem and imo Bea has a problem, she needs stability and clear lines. Edo doesn't seem as someone who could offer her anything like this, more like he offers her the delusion of a family, but even with someone on her side, she needs to become her own person. Does this make sesne? If not, apologies. I'm trying to say that Bea has a long way to go and, given her path so far, I don't see it coming.

I understand your perspective ... but I'd also put the same on Eugenie... she married a nice boy from a connected family... he did not go the "city" path as he did not apparently have the smarts .... As for Edo let's see .... the "old" family's would never have linked up with the BRF .... they want their sons and daughters to do better than that ..... Will and Harry married the best they could get. Nothing wrong with that.... so do most people

I see what you're saying and it's probably true. At the end of the day, no matter what we want and who we are, our choices tell all about us, we are what we choose so good or bad, this is it. If we want to change, we have to make different choices in life.

Thank you for the information ☺ so hypothetically speaking, if Andrew was to remarry, the wife would receive the duchess of York and Andrew's other titles, what title would Sarah have, or would it be revoked by act of Parliament? (sorry if I seem a bit slow on the uptake, Ive thought about this to the point where I'm confusing myself!)

If Andrew were to remarry, his new wife would become HRH The Duchess of York. Sarah is not The Duchess of York, she is Sarah, Duchess of York, with "Duchess of York" being only a courtesy title and essentially a surname since the legal right to the title ended when her marriage to the Duke ended. "The Duchess of York" is a legal title to which the wife of a Duke of York is entitled during her marriage to the Duke. Unless Andrew marries a much younger woman and has a son with her, if he predeceases her the new Duchess would continue to be entitled to use the title HRH The Duchess of York until her death or such time as she remarries. If they did have a son, she would be entitled to retain that title until such time as the son marries because the son's wife would then become The Duchess of York and his mother would become known as HRH The Dowager Duchess of York.
Andrew's wife would be HRH The Duchess of York and Sarah would still be Sarah, Duchess of York until SHE remarries regardless of what Andrew does. A wife (or ex in Sarah's case) technically holds her title by courtesy. A courtesy title has no legal significance but is just the custom (courtesy)...so no Parliament would not be involved. Technically there's nothing stopping Sarah from simply going back to Sarah Ferguson whenever she wants to. If/when a divorcee remarries it would be customary for her to be Mrs. New Husband.
Here's an example...The Right Honourable The Earl and Countess Spencer got divorce in 1997, you had The Right Honourable The Earl Spencer and Victoria, Countess of Spencer. The Earl remarries in 2001, so you had The Right Honourable The Earl and Countess Spencer (2nd wife) and Victoria, Countess of Spencer. In 2005 Victoria remarries and is then Mrs. Jonathan Aitken.
The Act of Parliament is only for the holder of the peerage. In this case Andrew. But the probability of that happening is slim to none considering that Parliament has better thing to do, Andrew has yet to be charged let alone convicted of anything, and the last time such an Act was passed was in WWI for enemies of the country (https://en.wikipedia.org/...tles_Deprivation_Act_1917).
