BBC correspondent Laura Kuenssberg has recently been vilified as a covert Brexiter who has shown her true colours, a Tory mouthpiece, secretly colluding with Brexiters and systematically conspiring with neo-fascists (and that's ignoring the more offensive stuff). What happened?
On Brexitcast, a BBC radio 5 show and podcast for "geeky gossip about Brexit from Westminster and Brussels", she said at the 43:35 mark
First draft of history and all this, I think that people will look back and think, "hang on – people voted for something in 2016 and then lots of people in the political establishment in Westminster spent a lot of time trying to undo that. What?" […] In the 2016 referendum campaign politicians on both sides, including the then-Prime Minister, stood on platforms and said things like "if you vote this way, this will happen. There will be no going back, this is not a vote where you get to have a second opinion." And lo and behold, now three years later, people are scratching their heads in the Labour Party, saying "oh, do you think maybe that was a bit of problem that we were trying to undo something that people voted for?" There are obviously legitimate reasons, it's perfectly legitimate for people to campaign for a another referendum. But, I always thought, covering it as a story, people voted for that. It's not your job to undo it!*
What I think Kuenssberg does here is to explain that in her opinion, campaigning for a second referendum was a problem for Labour because many people believed Brexit was a done deal. You can obviously disagree with the reasons she gives, e.g., that "lots of people in the political establishment in Westminster" tried to undo Brexit. Clearly, that was not what happened. The People's Vote campaign managed to get over a million people onto the streets of London, so that's hardly the "political establishment". And even among that establishment, initially right after the referendum, there was almost universal agreement that the results needed to be honoured. But then Theresa May tried to prove her credentials to the Tory Brexiters by embracing a hard Brexit and setting out red lines that emboldened the extremists in her party and made it impossible to solve the Northern Ireland problem without breaking up the UK. And as the harmfulness and contradictions of her Brexit approach became clearer and clearer, opposition to Brexit rose. However, it is very hard to disagree with Kuessberg's assessment that many people perceived it as she describes it.
Maybe you can criticise Kuessberg for blurring the line between assessment and endorsement at the end of her statement and there are other things on the show that you can disagree with or even pick at, for example making light of the illegal prorogation of parliament by summing it up as "the courts and stuff" (around 19:10). Or saying that Ireland in effect accepted a time-limit on the backstop (around 26:00), when that's not really the case (because it is only theoretical). But overall I think the show provides a reasonably fair analysis of what has been going on, free of any glaring bias.
Which finally brings me to the main point of the whole post. I don't know whether Laura Kuenssberg is a Brexit supporter and I don't really care as long as it does not colour her professional work. Obviously, as a journalist, it is her job to be neutral. However, we need to acknowledge that it is very, very difficult to always completely conceal one's personal biases. If one fails to do so, it is legitimate, important even, to point it out and criticise it, but that's usually not what happens. Instead, every hint of bias seemingly becomes a betrayal of all that is decent, every glimpse of a personal opinion turns the other into an agent of the dark side. All that, mind you, only if the "wrong" kind of view shines through. More often than not, all cries for impartiality are forgotten when the commentator seems to play for the own team.
This tendency is highly problematic for two reasons. For a start, if we can't even have a normal conversation with the Laura Kuenssbergs of the world, then with whom can we? We need to stop ascribing sinister motivations to everyone with a different opinion. Yes, other people are biased, but so are we. Most people are coming from a good place and have arrived at their positions for reasons that if viewed in isolation are, if not always rational and justifiable, then at least understandable. If we want to move away from the increasingly polarised and aggressive tone in society, we should acknowledge that and make it our default assumption until proven otherwise. Then our conversations may actually get somewhere.
And turning everything into ideological warfare makes it impossible to make any progress on the issues. For example, I'm sure there was bias in how the BBC reported on the election campaign. I very much doubt there was a coordinated effort to swing the electorate in one direction. People at the BBC are humans and they sometimes make mistakes. And that is how we should start approaching the issues – as honest, possibly problematic and serious, but still ultimately honest, mistakes. There are very serious problems in how the media covers politics, like the general unwillingness to challenge statements that are deflecting, misleading, or outright lies, the focus on "meta-issues" instead of real issues (for example, instead of asking Boris Johnson about his trustworthiness, ask him about the government's impact assessment of the withdrawal agreement), the preference for controversy over competence, or false balance, i.e., the misguided tendency to give equal representation to opposing viewpoints irrespective of the supporting evidence. None of these issues will be solved if we outright deny the media any fundamental interest in doing so.
Therefore, instead of demonizing everyone for not seeing the world exactly as I do, so that I can feel like I'm righteously fighting for the good cause against evil forces, I'll try to give the other the benefit of the doubt and try to understand where they are coming from.
* Compare my transcript to the one from the Express, which first published the story and kicked off the small shit-storm. The differences are subtle, but not always trivial. For example, they write "this wasn't a vote that you can have a second opinion on" when Kuenssberg actually said "not a vote where you get to have a second opinion". The former suggest you are not allowed to have a second opinions, whereas the latter means you won't get an opportunity to express a second opinion. Or, more serious in my opinion, they write "covering it as a story, to me it just seemed like, people voted for that. It's not your job to undo it!", but she never actually says "to me, it just seemed like". Even if these differences are not intentional, I would expect a good journalist to be more diligent than that.

This Is Not a Drill: Adele and J.K. Rowling Are Officially Taylor Swift Groupies, and It's Magical
Taylor Swift's Reputation
Adele and J.K. Rowling at Taylor Swift's Reputation Concert
27 June, 2018 by Tori Crowther
A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on Jun 25, 2018 at 5:01am PDT
Watch out world, there are two new members on Taylor Swift's squad. Welcome Adele and J.K. Rowling, the unexpected but very much cherished new members of the team. On June 25, Taylor posted a photo on Instagram showing singer-songwriter Adele and author/dream maker J.K. Rowling hanging out at her Reputation tour at Wembley Stadium in London.
"I'm so grateful for these women, for the words they've written and the worlds they've created through their art," Taylor wrote. "So stoked to have you at the show in London @adele and JK. Always." Fans were understandably freaking out on Twitter at the sweet post.
It's not the first time we've been blessed with celebrities joining Taylor on her tour. In addition to her famous groupies Adele and J.K. Rowling, she's had a number of other artists performing with her. Taylor's opening acts Charli XCX and Camila Cabello performed "Shake it Off" with her, followed by a performance from Selena Gomez, and even Robbie Williams, who stopped by for a rendition of "Angels."

The Thursday night mountain bike rides are gaining momentum. Thanks to Downtown Joel Brown and Phil. Each week the crew has gotten mangier and mangier (I don't think that's a word). The rides have been meeting at 6:15 at the footbridge by the U. Casual pace on the flats, doing work on the climbs and descents. These photos are from last Sunday's 3 Summit Ride. I missed the "Death Ride," and instead hit Joel and Phil's first annual "3 Summit Ride." We ended up with just four of us at the top of University (DT JB, Pipo, Tob, and myself). I threw in a photo of Dale cause he was hurting from the weekend and I thought it was funny. When you've got the slight helmet tilt you know it was a rough night. If you want to mountain bike with a mangy crew join up Thursday's 6:15.
Kenda/Titus is the mountain bike team that Missoula boy Andy Schultz rides for. It's also the team of Zephanie Blasi. Zephanie is a pro female mountain biker who frequents the NMBS calendar. She recently moved to Missoula and was spotted on the Hell Ride last night. She's a consistent performer on the national scene. Missoula welcomes her to the scene.
Since I can't be at all the races. My man Joe Chalmers has come through and provided us a sick report from this past weekends Coyote Classic. Joe will also be the official reporter for Belt Omnium. Thanks Joe!
Boise, Idaho played host to Sundays Coyote Classic which is stop #8 on the National Mountain Bike Series calendar and Montana had four players in the men's expert, woman's expert and pro/semi-pro fields. Bill Martin and Joe Chalmers (writing) were in the men's expert, Lisa Curry lined up in woman's expert and John Curry was the first of the Montanans off the line in the Pro/Semi-pro field.
After riding a bit of the course the evening before we discovered that it had a bit of everything and would be a real challenging race. Lots of climbing, technical single track, creek crossings and the threat of punctures from thorny goat heads were all factors in this twenty-four mile cross country race.
I had a great view of the start of this pain fest since my expert field was lined up just behind and would leave one minute after their gun went off. Cody Peterson was the man to watch. He is a local boy from just up the road in Sun Valley and he is also a top national pro who just recently finished third at the Sea Otter short track cross country. Bozeman's John Curry was lined up on the front row of the 15 racer field and I have to say when that gun went off I was really surprised how fast Cody started. He was out of the saddle in an all out sprint as he went around the first sharp corner and he had everyone strung out and already fighting to grab his wheel in the first few hundred meters. One racer was able to bridge up to him as they entered the first single track climb but he couldn't sustain the pace and soon blew up and Peterson was on his own for the rest of the race. John made his way up into the top five after the first single track climb dumped onto the dirt road that started the first short loop. He was in 4th place as his small chase group entered the technical single track descent and that's when his front tire decided to explode. He got a new tube in place but for some reason it wouldn't hold air and after a couple of attempt's with a floor pump in the feed zone his day was over. The group that he was in when his tire blew held their positions and finished the race in the top five.
There were approximately 35-40 experts at this race which is a good sized field. There was ample time to pass on this course before the first single track section so a fast start wasn't critical as it might be on some other courses. I was able to get a good position on the line and was at the front as we headed up the first single track section. The course consisted of a one mile dirt road start and then onto a five minute single track climb that led to the main venue which consisted of two small loops and one large loop back to the finish. Bill Martin started behind me and on the second small loop he had his engine churning and passed me on one of the climbs looking very smooth. Coming through the feed zone heading towards the long loop the legs were aching a bit and I soon found out that this long loop was exactly that….LOOOONG. It was mostly on an old access road of some sort and it seemed to go on forever. Every time you went around a corner and thought you might see the descent start heading back down to the valley floor the road would just continue up another section of the mountain side. Finally the trail headed south into a ravine single track with multiple deep creek crossings and one last climb over a ridge that dumped back onto the road to the start/finish. Bill rode a great race to finish first overall out of forty experts and I finished third. The organizers put together a great course that put all of the skills to the test. I was bloody, muddy and tired which is just the way you want to finish a tough mountain bike race.
Lisa had a strong start in her race and this was her kind of course but her internal GPS system played tricks on her and she ended up missing a turn on one of the short loop sections and had to back track a major part of the course in order to ride it properly. That made for a pretty long day in the saddle.

Full Custom Guide — Waymark Gear Co.
Use our current packs (LITE™ 50L and the THRU™ with or without hip-belts) as your starting point. Torso and hip-belt sizes are chosen in the Custom Pack Form at the top of the page.
The default color and style for 2018 THRU packs is now Black VX21 RS soft or Black VX07 RS soft, with a low profile accordion style pocket. This fabric is very durable and has a more cloth-like feel, making it easier to take items in and out of the pocket. If you would like a fabric other than VX21 RS soft or VX07 RS soft, choose 1 color for both sides, or a different color on each side.
For the LITE 50 Liter, choose 1 color for both sides.
You can also clarify if you'd like the Low profile accordion bottom, or a squared bottom.
Pack bottom (This is a bathtub style bottom that wraps up to all for sides of the pack, so it is all one color. The bottom color on the sides of the pack are covered by the side pockets, however.) The most common fabric used is VX21 (210 denier nylon face with taffeta backing) or VX21 RS Soft Black. Black is used 95% of the time.
Fabric choice on your front pocket. Choose from the standard Heavy-duty mesh or Lycra (4-way stretch mesh fabric).
Heavy-duty mesh is slightly lighter than the current Lycra 4-way stretch mesh fabric. The Heavy-duty mesh will dry wet items in the front pocket quicker than the Lycra, and makes it easy to see all of the items in the pocket.
The Lycra will stay a little tighter to the bag and is aesthetically pleasing, yet will still hold a lot of gear inside of it.
Shoulder Straps (Choose one color for both, black is the most common).
Hip Belt (Choose 1 color for the top visible fabric. The underside is black with gray 3D spacer mesh by default for LITE 50 Liters, and gray 3D spacer mesh on THRU series packs).

"La Madrileñita"
April 1, 2018 Marisol Hernandez

It was not a coincidence that my husband and I traveled in February to Savannah, the city of "Forrest Gump" and "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" by John Berendt, to attend a Copyright Congress in the Arts.
Savannah is a beautiful and mysterious city. I sat on a bench in the plaza called Chippewa Park and I felt as if I had woken up in the 18th century. The streets of the historic center were very little traveled. Walking, I arrived at a park that was a cemetery. There were some people sitting on benches. Others, they walked their puppy. Tombstones and obituaries told who the most illustrious personages of the city were.
People and souls coexisted in solitude accompanied. I read their stories: That young man whose name I can not remember who died during a duel to defend his honor; the founder of the first Savannah newspaper; Edward Greene Malone (1777-1807), recognized as the finest miniature painter in the United States; Hugh McCall (1767-1823), the author of the first treaty on the history of the state of Georgia at the time of the War of Independence and who said "We will never forget the blood poured out by the suffering patriots and the precious jewel that they bought with their blood will be cared for with courage and the last generations will remember them with gratitude"; and William Scarborough (1776-1839), a businessman and designer of the first steamboat that crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1819. Beautiful historical and very well documented walk in the cemetery of the Historical Center of this city that provided so much information about the War of Independence and the War of the Secesión.
Savannah, city of mansions, streets and phantasmagorical squares.
I kept walking and saw a sculpture of a family of blacks that narrated how they had been separated from their country of origin, separated from their families and finally treated in subhuman conditions as slaves of wealthy families working hard in the fields of peanuts, tobacco and cotton.
A thick greenish river, very large and flowing, which was fed by tributaries to increase in strength and volume, crossed Savannah to reach the Atlantic Ocean a few miles away. I looked around and saw the beautiful promenades full of giant trees from which green blue ferns hung. It is said that they are the beards of the Spaniards whose ghosts advance among the trees gliding in the search of the beloved one that they persecute.
The Pink House was a beautiful mansion, and in one of the most intimate rooms was the engraving of "El Glorioso", the famous Spanish galleon and triumph of the English navy. The ship looked very beautiful and impeccable with a lion that seemed to roar in the prow and with a flag of the crown of Castilla y León. A small English flag on this along with some lines indicated that the English settlers were very proud of this important naval conquest.
It was not that night but the next day when La Madrileñita and I met. And where was she going to be waiting for me if not in a museum so we could look each other in the eyes? She hung on the wall of a high-ceilinged living room of a beautiful mansion in the company of other paintings and sculptures. She looked straight at me, her eyes wide open but calm and curious. Her mouth ajar and relaxed as if she was still breathing from the same air as me… How beautiful she was! Her hair, gathered from behind with two red ribbons to match her lips and her dress with half sleeves with very wide, flared and transparent straps marked by a golden bow bracelet with big red ribbons on her shoulders. A neck to the vies showed its bust discreetly on which it shone a gold medallion of apical form with three gears of white pearls. In the center of the dress, ornaments with green bows in fine lines as if they were flowers with long stems, which gave the optical sensation of centrifugal force, as if the Madrileñita was about to dance. Dotted gold as snowflakes fell down her dress tailored to the waist. She stood firm in balance and sat with one hand on her hips while the other arm rested on her skirt, showing two delicate golden bracelets. Her fine, elegant fingers met at the end and her nails showed the natural color of her skin.
How beautiful was waiting for me La Madrileñita! We both stared at each other… When our eyes looked at each other, I asked her… – "Who are you?" And she replied: – "I am you"… I read her inscription as I did with her soulmates in the park's cemetery… La Madrileñita by Robert Henri, 1910 …
– "How is it possible that you stay so beautiful, so impeccable during all these years, my me?"
So many years waiting for me with open eyes to finally see me… so that I could tell her with my eyes, with my deepest interior that was of me, what I was doing, how I was doing with my music and my songs throughout the world … Suddenly, she confessed to me:
– "I am a dancer, and you are a singer. The two Madrilenians. We were both born for art and we will live for it. Do not give up, for you too will triumph. Go ahead, beautiful and attentive, as I am".
I continued walking, but I said goodbye again and when I looked at her again she confessed: – "I will always wait for you. Come back soon to Savannah and sing for me. Your voice is magic and I, with the air, will dance with your music. We have finally reunited, my me."
I bought her postcard at the museum reception and brought her with me. When I look at her, I say: – "Thanks for joining me."
Everyone who sees her knows that it's me. I know it too.
"La Madrileñita" by Robert Henri is located at the Telfair Museum in Savannah.

New report and resources put cancer in context, showing more than 1,100 medicines and vaccines in development
Andrew Powaleny | May 30, 2018 | SHARE THIS
In the not too distant past, chemotherapy and radiation were once the only treatments for what remains the second leading cause of death in the United States – cancer. Although the death rates of cancer have declined in the past 20 years and survival rates have increased by five times since the 1970s, there is still more work to be done. The biopharmaceutical industry is leading by translating science into a completely new era of medicine for how we treat the diseases which make up cancer.
In a new Medicines in Development report released today, as a result of unprecedented advancements in science, there are currently 1,120 new medicines and vaccines in development to treat cancer – all of which are in clinical trials or awaiting review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Immuno-oncology and personalized medicines are ushering in a new era of cancer understanding and treatment. Immunotherapies like CAR-T and checkpoint inhibitors are further harnessing the body's own immune system to recognize and kill cancerous tumor cells. Even in just the last year, 47 new immuno-oncology treatments have been added to the development pipeline.
Innovation is critical for improving patients' lives, and at the same time we need innovation to deliver these medicines to patients. No patient should struggle to afford their needed treatments, and it is important that we address patient access challenges. On the societal level cancer treatments are only about one percent of total health care spending and looking ahead, total drug spending growth is moderate, which includes cancer spending.
Our new chart pack puts cancer costs in context for patients and society, and puts forward solutions for improving on our current system.
The 1,120 medicines and vaccines in development represent an increased recognition among researchers that no two cancers are alike, which has led to the creation of treatments to target specific cancer types, and cancers specific to a single person. These medicines represent treatments across the cancer spectrum, from lung cancer to leukemia, breast cancer to lymphoma. For a full list of these medicines click here.
Andrew Powaleny is Senior Director of Public Affairs at PhRMA and leads the organizations scientific communications. Before joining PhRMA in 2015, he worked in public affairs for a small firm in Washington, DC and served as Deputy Press Secretary for the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Andrew came to Washington, D.C. via Connecticut with a degree from Eastern Connecticut State University where he majored in public policy and government. Andrew is active as a runner and volunteer with the DC Front Runners; most recently serving on its Board of Directors for three years as co-race director. He is also a member of the NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ Journalists and mentors students through his alumni association with The Fund for American Studies. Andrew is passionate about scientific innovation, especially for mental illness, and his heroes are the men and women of America's biopharmaceutical research companies.

Renal lesions in multiple myeloma: their relationship to associated protein abnormalities.
Hill GS, Morel-Maroger L, Méry JP, Brouet JC, Mignon F.
Renal biopsy and autopsy specimens were studied in 43 patients with renal complications of multiple myeloma and correlated with immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) and other clinical data at the time of biopsy. Lesions specifically related to multiple myeloma fell into two categories, with different patterns of protein excretion. (1) Myeloma Cast Formation: When other lesions which might contribute to renal insufficiency (RI) were excluded, there was a good correlation between the extent of myeloma cast formation and severity of RI. Sixteen of 19 patients excreted free light chains (LCs) in the urine, in seven as the predominant or sole urinary protein. (2) Tissue Deposition of Paraproteins: Nine cases had generalized glomerular, tubular basement membrane and vascular deposits of presumed kappa-chains (one with associated alpha-heavy chains). Four patients, all with myelomas secreting lambda LCs, had diffuse amyloid deposits in similar distribution. All patients (save two who were anuric) had diffuse, nonselective proteinuria by IEP, most within the nephrotic range. Four patients had free LCs in the urine, but in none was this the predominant component. Cast nephropathy and LC tissue deposition tended to occur in mutually exclusive fashion. Cases with diffuse tissue deposits of LCs showed few or no myeloma casts. Cases with cast nephropathy had only occasional mild mesangial lesions and focal interstitial and vascular deposits of amyloid. Evidence indicates that these lesions represent incidental LC deposition in cases whose basic lesion is longstanding and/or severe cast nephropathy, and that their contribution to RI is minor in comparison to that of the myeloma casts.


Preparing a H2020 proposal is very competitive and can be stressful unless you are very well prepared. It's not enough to have a good scientific idea you need to know to develop it and present it in a manner that is appealing to the evaluators. In order to do that, you need to have a good understanding of what the application asks in each section and also know what the evaluators are looking for when they evaluate proposals.
The training course is for anyone thinking of applying for H2020 either as a coordinator or as support staff. This two-day training course will provide you with an insight on what makes a successful proposal and will equip you with the essential skills to develop and submit a completive bid.
This training course will equip you with a solid understanding of the evaluation process, how to translate the call topic in a research proposal and how to develop your ideas in a strong coherent proposal. During the two-day course we will go through the sections of the proposal and explain in detail how the different parts need to be developed.
More specifically you will learn how to read the call topic, how to write for H2020 evaluators, what makes each section excellent, how to address impact clearly and how to develop a convincing implementation plan.

Redesigning the I LOVE NY logo.
Alfredo Muccino partners with David Carson to reimagine the iconic logo created by legendary creative director, Milton Glaser.
Redesigning the I lOVE NY logo
THE EVOLUTION OF AN ICON
Shortly after Alfredo Muccino moved to New York and started Solid Branding, the City of New York asked him to re-imagine the iconic "I LOVE NY" logo originally designed by legendary Creative Director, Milton Glaser. Mr. Muccino partnered up with his friend, Mr. David Carson, the controversial designer who had also moved to New York City, and the two embarked on the dangerous quest of evolving a much loved icon.
A SHORT HISTORY OF NEW YORK
How Milton Glaser helped revitalize his beloved city
The "I LOVE NY" was created by Milton Glaser and first used in 1977 to promote the city and state at a time when the crime was at an all-time high and New York was far from the tourist destination it is today. Wanting to make a difference, Mr. Glaser did the work entirely pro-bono, in the name of helping the city rise again. "That's how it should be," he told graphic designer Chip Kidd in an interview in The Believer. "You want to do things like that, where you feel you can actually change things." Today the icon generates more than $30 Million a year in revenues for the City of New York.
In the photo above, Milton Glaser is seen with Alfredo Muccino, shortly after Alfredo move to New York.
CARSON HAS HIS EYE ON NEW YORK
David Carson's logo expresses his love for typography
According to Mr. Carson "In my version, the type is the star. The way the type is stacked is offered a slight hint of the city's tall buildings. New York is all about what you see, thus the "eye". People really "love" NY. Love is everywhere in the city". While the original logo will always be around", Mr. Carson added, "these official new versions speak to a modern New York, each one of the new versions along with the original represents something unique about New York. The way I see it, this city is all about choices, and now you have three.
A WINDOW INTO NEW YORK'S HEART
Alfredo Muccino designs a system that is in constant change
Alfredo Muccino's designed as a flexible system featuring images and textures that represent the many facets of New York. "I started by replacing the font in the current logo with one that is a bit more structured and bold – but did not stray too far from Milton's design" explained Alfredo, describing his process. "More importantly, I wanted to represent the icon as a window into New York's heart. I envisioned that people could change the images and interpret New York as they see it, making the icon a dynamic symbol that is constantly changing and evolving – just like the city itself".
We'd like to thank Mr. David Carson for participating in this little project and being a such a great collaborator. And we'd like to offer our apologies to Mr. Milton Glaser for having a little fun with his iconic logo. We love New York.

Chancellor's Letter
Enriching the Student Experience
Invigorating Communities
Demystifying Problems
In a classroom in Iraq, a professor finds that language instruction helps to minimize cultural divides.
We have these things to offer each other that we haven't thought of before.
WHEN ETHEL SWARTLEY, associate professor in the University of Denver's English Language Center, was called on by the U.S. Department of State to teach in Iraq, she didn't hesitate. She was eager to put her skills to work in a country that had long held her interest. Even as security and bureaucratic issues changed the course of her trip, she remained unshakably excited.
Swartley's two-week class in the northern city of Erbil taught more than 20 Iraqi professors strategies for integrating language teaching into the STEM classroom and for supporting students through that journey. "We talked about some of the challenges in using English as a medium of instruction," Swartley recalled. "There are universities all over the world that are beginning to use English as their language of teaching, and it is interpreted in many different ways. We talked about some of those different ways it's being used and then what would work for Iraq."
In those two short weeks, the professors under Swartley's tutelage each received a certificate, but the lessons extended far beyond that piece of paper.
"I think in Iraq in particular, and in a lot of war-torn areas where the relationship with the U.S. is checkered, the more they can meet Americans, working women, people of different faiths—I think that helps to build bridges," she explained.
Swartley's class was diverse, with women and men of different religions, cultures and languages. Erbil is situated firmly in Iraq's Kurdish region, and tensions between Arabs and Kurds are far from a thing of the past. Still, the two distinct groups came together for a common purpose. "Kurds and Arabs got to sit in a classroom space for two weeks together. They really became friends. They really came to respect each other as colleagues," Swartley said.
During her time in Erbil, Swartley learned lessons that will help her better serve her Arab students at DU. "I have a deeper connection with those students [now] and just a better understanding of the educational systems they may have been through and some of the cultural factors."
As she was teaching Iraqi professors to support students through language learning, Swartley realized that here at DU, those strategies could also have a significant impact for international students. "If our faculty here can be more aware of some strategies that will help those students learn the language they need to really be contributing and successful students in their fields, that would be great."
With the Iraq experience behind her, Swartley hopes to continue building bridges between America and Erbil. "It seems so simple, but it's just the idea that we can learn from each other. We have things to offer each other that we haven't thought of before," she said.

In Betting the Earth, Professor Kunich has compiled many arguments both in favor of and against the global warming theory. He explains and dissects them for our benefit. This book is well researched, without being preachy, and it is mainly easy to follow. Kunich lets you read all his compiled charts and different examples about the earth's current status. He lets the reader not only draw his or her own conclusions, but also guides him or her to new ideas to help one's own objectivity.
The author's opinion, that we can all help, is addressed here by teaching parallels between environmental challenges and the gambling fascination many have. This is a great way to understand what is at stake in our future. Kunich looks at it from the point of view of a smoker, the association between risks and action and also the balance between cost and benefits. He adroitly does it all without the tactics of self-appointed experts. In this book you will find Climate Change, Modern Mass Extinction, the Summarized version of Blaise Pascal, the Missing Pieces of Godel's puzzle, Heisenberg's forecast and much more.
I think Professor Kunich has a well-rounded book that exposes a theme we all need to be aware of. In the concluding chapters, he addresses the best way to use this book to make a greater difference for the world's environment. It is a great theme, not only for the Save the Planet groups, but also for the rest of us who care about what our children's children will have to face in their futures. I recommend it to late teens to adults.

6 in 10 American Voters Do Not Trust Hillary Clinton
Plurality would be 'embarrassed' if she won 2016 election
by Morgan Chalfant • Washington Free Beacon
Nearly six in 10 American voters do not trust Hillary Clinton as the former secretary of state's private email use continues to undergo scrutiny from the FBI.
Fifty-nine percent of U.S. voters rate Clinton as not honest and trustworthy, compared with 35 percent who believe the opposite, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.
Clinton is not trusted by nearly one-fifth of likely Democratic primary voters and 72 percent of independent voters.
The same survey also found that a plurality of American voters would be embarrassed if Hillary Clinton were elected president in 2016. Specifically, 35 percent would be embarrassed by her election, while a slightly smaller share of 33 percent would be proud. Twenty-nine percent would feel neither way if Clinton prevailed in the presidential election.
Those embarrassed by a hypothetical Clinton election include five percent of Democrats and 32 percent of independent voters.
The poll also produced another negative favorable rating for Clinton, who has witnessed her favorable and honesty scores drop since it was revealed that she exclusively used private email to conduct government business while working in the Obama administration.
Currently, 51 percent of American voters view Clinton negatively–including 59 percent of independents–whereas 43 percent have a positive opinion of the Democratic candidate. Alternatively, Clinton's competitor for the nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), is viewed positively by a plurality of voters.
Half of American voters also do not believe that Clinton cares about their needs and problems, while 46 percent think that she does. Individuals in all age brackets are more likely than not to say that Clinton does not care about their needs, save those belonging to the youngest sector of 18-34 year olds. A plurality of those in Clinton's own age bracket–65 and up–do not think she cares about their problems.
Fifty-five percent of U.S. voters also do not think that Clinton shares their values.
Currently, the former secretary of state leads Sanders 61 to 30 percent among likely Democratic primary voters for the nomination, though nearly four in 10 Democrats who support Clinton say they might change their minds before heading to the polls.
The survey was conducted between Dec. 16 and 20 following reports that an intelligence community review confirmed that two emails held on Clinton's private server contained "top secret" information at the time they were sent. The review's findings pushed back on objections from the Clinton campaign and the State Department.
The FBI has been investigating Clinton's use of personal email since the intelligence community inspector general concluded that the emails were top secret. The bureau has reportedly expanded its probe and is looking at possible criminal code violations.

At Southwark Splash, on 19th January, we were reminded of some of the sounds that might have been heard as John the Baptist baptised Jesus in the River Jordan, before Bishop Karowei baptised three young Christians.
Dunk: Children and families leaders involved in Messy Churches, Diddy Disciples and Godly Play came from across the Diocese and got fully immersed in the event by leading activity tables, helping people understand something new about baptism through craft, science experiments, singing, Makaton signing and creative prayer.
Splash: After an hour of activities, we gathered together to make a splash and celebrate three baptisms by full immersion (a first for Southwark Cathedral). Using baptism liturgy adapted by Lucy Moore for a Messy Church setting, Bishop Karowei and the team (a mix of clergy, lay, children and young people) led the 200 strong congregation, who had travelled from near and far to be there - including a group of eight Norwegians from Bergen Cathedral!
Ripple: I wonder what the ripple effect of Southwark Splash might be?
We pray that churches will be bold and make a dunk, splash, ripple in their local settings, welcoming families on the fringe of church, baptising new believers and walking with them on their journey of discipleship, as we grow God's kingdom together.

Elena Schroeter, NC State postdoctoral researcher, and Mary Schweitzer, professor of biological sciences with a joint appointment at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, wanted to confirm earlier findings of original dinosaur collagen first reported in 2009 from Brachylophosaurus canadensis, a type of hadrosaur, or duck-billed dinosaur, that roamed what is now Montana around 80 million years ago.
"Mass spectrometry technology and protein databases have improved since the first findings were published, and we wanted to not only address questions concerning the original findings, but also demonstrate that it is possible to repeatedly obtain informative peptide sequences from ancient fossils," Schroeter says.
Collagen is a protein and peptides are the building blocks of proteins. Recovering peptides allows researchers to determine evolutionary relationships between dinosaurs and modern animals, as well as investigate other questions, such as which characteristics of collagen protein allow it to preserve over geological time (or millions of years).
"We collected B. canadensis with molecular investigation in mind," Schweitzer says. "We left a full meter of sediment around the fossil, used no glues or preservatives, and only exposed the bone in a clean, or aseptic, environment. The mass spectrometer that we used was cleared of contaminants prior to running the sample as well."
The sample material came from the specimen's femur, or thigh bone. Using mass spectrometry, the team recovered eight peptide sequences of collagen I, including two that are identical to those recovered in 2009, and six that are new. The sequences show that the collagen I in B. canadensis has similarities with collagen I in both crocodylians and birds, a result we would expect for a hadrosaur, based on predictions made from previous skeletal studies.
"We are confident that the results we obtained are not contamination and that this collagen is original to the specimen," Schroeter says. "Not only did we replicate part of the 2009 results, thanks to improved methods and technology we did it with a smaller sample and over a shorter period of time."
"Our purpose here is to build a solid scientific foundation for other scientists to use to ask larger questions of the fossil record," Schweitzer adds. "We've shown that it is possible for these molecules to preserve. Now, we can ask questions that go beyond dinosaur characteristics. For example, other researchers in other disciplines may find that asking why they preserve is important."
The research appears in the Journal of Proteome Research and was funded by a National Science Foundation INSPIRE grant. Schroeter is first author of the paper. Co-authors Wenxia Zheng from NC State; Tim Cleland from the University of Texas-Austin; Caroline DeHart, Paul Thomas, and Neil Kelleher from Northwestern University; and Marshall Bern of Protein Metrics, also contributed to the work.
"Expansion of the Brachylophosaurus canadensis collagen I sequence and additional evidence for the preservation of Cretaceous protein"
Sequence data of biomolecules such as DNA and proteins, which provide critical information for evolutionary studies, have been assumed to be forever outside the reach of dinosaur paleontology. Proteins, which are predicted to have greater longevity than DNA, have been recovered from two non-avian dinosaurs, but these results remain controversial. For proteomic data derived from extinct Mesozoic organisms to reach their greatest potential for investigating questions of phylogeny and paleobiology, it must be shown that peptide sequences can be reliably and reproducibly obtained from ancient fossils, and that fragmentary sequences for ancient proteins can be increasingly expanded. To test the hypothesis that peptides can be repeatedly detected and validated from fossil tissues many millions of years old, we apply updated extraction methodology, high resolution mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics analyses on a Brachylophosaurus canadensis specimen (MOR 2598) from which collagen I peptides were recovered in 2009. We recovered eight peptide sequences of collagen I, two of which are identical to peptides recovered in 2009, and six of which are new. Phylogenetic analyses place the recovered sequences within basal archosauria and when only the new sequences are considered, B. canadensis is grouped more closely to crocodylians, but when all sequences (current and those reported in 2009) are analyzed, B. canadensis is placed more closely to basal birds. The data robustly support the hypothesis of an endogenous origin for these peptides, confirm the idea that peptides can survive in specimens tens of millions of years old, and bolster the validity of the 2009 study. Furthermore, the new data expand the coverage of B. canadensis collagen I (a 33.6% increase in collagen I alpha 1 and 116.7% in alpha 2). Finally, this study demonstrates the importance of reexamining previously studied specimens with updated methods and instrumentation, as we obtained roughly the same amount of sequence data as the previous study with substantially less sample material.

Q: Hibernate: Risks associated with changing DiscriminatorValue Given:
@Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)
@DiscriminatorColumn(name="postType", discriminatorType=DiscriminatorType.STRING)
public class Post {}

@DiscriminatorValue(value = PostType.BUG)
public class BugReport extends Post {}

That is ... Bugs start life in this system as a Post.  Later, they can be promoted(?) to being a BugReport.
I'm using the following approach to update this:
@Transactional
public Post setPostType(Post post, String postType)
{
    SQLQuery sql = getSession().createSQLQuery("UPDATE post SET postType = :postType where id = :id");
    sql.setString("postType", postType);
    sql.setInteger("id", post.getId());
    sql.executeUpdate();

    getSession().evict(post);
    getSession().flush();

    Post newPost = get(post.getId());
    return newPost;
}

Although this works,  (the post type is changed, and returned from the db as a BugReport).  I'm curious if there are any side effects or risks associated with this approach.

A:
Although this works, (the post type is changed, and returned from the db as a BugReport). I'm curious if there are any side effects or risks associated with this approach.

One problem I can see is that you are bypassing optimistic locking checks and a concurrent transaction updating the same Post could thus override the changes. So you should probably include the version check in your update and throw an exception if the count returned by executeUpdate is not 1.

SOA adoption phases
Peter Trkman, Andrej Kovačič, Aleš Popovič
The paper argues that attitudes to SOA follow a typical hype cycle from Technological Trigger, Peak of Inflated Expectations, and a Trough of Disillusionment to the more recent realization that SOA is a concept that may offer certain benefits but has several limitations. Themain research question studies how the attitude to SOA changes in various phases of the hype cycle, how the SOA implementation cycle and an increase in business process maturity (BPMa) are interconnected and which factors influence the transition between the hype cycle phases. The paper shows that an organization's success with implementing SOA depends on its ability to match the SOA implementation with an increase in BPMa. The dual purpose of implementing SOA is shown in the first framework: to assure the coherence of IT assets and to assure business/IT alignment. In the second framework, the interconnection of SOA and BPMa and its role in transiting through the hype cycle phases is outlined. The findings are analyzed using a longitudinal case study of a large Slovenian company.

Q: SharePoint Farm Admin Account in local administrators group I installed and configured SharePoint using SPSetup domain account.
I gave SPFarmAdmin as the database access/ farm admin while configuring SharePoint.
Now as per recommendation in some blogs I did not add SPFarmAdmin to the local administrators group
When I logged in Central admin, it disabled the ribbon from where I can create New web application and some other pages like Configure SErvice accounts etc.
I have the site added as trusted and in intranet zone as suggested in some forums.  Yet it did not work.  As soon as I added the SPFarmAdmin account to local administrators group, the pagaes and ribbons were enabled.
So does it mean that SPFarmAdmin have to be in local administrators group ? or is there some other permission that I can give there and have central admin work.

A: So here is what I understood and posting it here for benifit of others...
Manage Service Accounts and New Web Application creation cannot be accessed if your account is not Local Admin on the SharePoint server even you are Farm Admin.
 SharePoint takes this information from IIS and if your account is not local admin then you cannot access the IIS, hence the error


The stories below are of some of our special ones, whether they had a complex case when they came in, or just one that was a diamond in the rough and was waiting for the right one to come along, this is where you'll find their story.
Echo (Now Misty) has been a busy girl since she has been adopted! She started out in dressage and has since branched out to jumping and cross country. She has competed in several shows and has placed in the top 3 in each of them, even placed 4th on her first cross country course. Her owner is enjoying her greatly and they plan to compete in a couple highly recognized shows this spring! We can't wait to see the next update on Echo (Misty).
Maxie and Patrick have been enjoying their new home in Tennessee. Maxie is a trail horse and Patrick is getting bigger and in training. Two horses that come from such conditions are now thriving in their new home! We couldn't be happier!
Victor is doing fantastic! So very sweet and he really has a good head on him - like how he reacts to new things! He seems to have bonded well with our pony and two goats.
He is continuing to get horsemanship / ground training daily from my daughter and we continue to see progress as he has really relaxed and gotten into a schedule.

Biden's strategy may be a winner as Sanders and Warren crowd each other out of Democratic primary
As Sanders and Warren make their play for voters attracted to their liberal populist message, political analysts and early polls suggest they could be crowding each other out.
Biden's strategy may be a winner as Sanders and Warren crowd each other out of Democratic primary As Sanders and Warren make their play for voters attracted to their liberal populist message, political analysts and early polls suggest they could be crowding each other out. Check out this story on DemocratandChronicle.com: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2019/06/04/bernie-sanders-vs-elizabeth-warren-split-progressive-voters/1289394001/
Aamer Madhani and Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY Published 7:00 a.m. ET June 4, 2019 | Updated 1:57 p.m. ET June 4, 2019
SAN FRANCISCO – Democratic presidential contenders Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are hitting many of the same economic populist notes on the campaign trail, albeit with slightly different inflections, as they make their case to voters.
When Warren stumped in the Bay Area over the weekend, she linked the influence of corporate money in politics and corruption as the driving forces that too often keep Washington from helping Americans. She intoned that "health care is a human right" and plugged her plan to pay for cradle-to-college education and other programs by raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans.
Meanwhile, Sanders decried "economic starvation" wages and urged primary voters to accept "no middle ground" on issues like abortion, gun control and health care from their Democratic nominee. It was a thinly-veiled jab at the Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden who has cast himself as a moderate who can salve Washington's hyper-partisanship.
"They would be my dream ticket – put (Sanders and Warren) together on a ticket," said Robert Means, 69, a Sanders supporter from Milpitas, Calif., as he waited for the Vermont senator to address the California Democratic Party Convention. "I don't care if they are both from the East Coast."

But at the moment, Means' fantasy political team is fishing from the same pool of progressive voters, while Biden makes headway arguing his case that a center-left message will be the winning one in 2020.
Since officially entering the race in late April, Biden has maintained a substantial lead in most national and early-voting state polls. But Sanders and Warren – and the rest of the nearly two dozen major Democratic candidates – are hoping they can begin cutting into Biden's lead as voters begin to pay more attention.
On paper, Warren and Sanders are ideologically similar. Warren had the most liberal voting record of any senator in the current Congress, while Sanders had the fourth most liberal voting record, according to an analysis by Voteview, a project managed by UCLA's Department of Political Science and Social Science Computing.
But as Sanders and Warren make their play for voters attracted to their populist message, political analysts and early polls suggest they could be crowding each other out and unintentionally paving the way for Biden.
Biden leads the pack nationally sitting at 38%, according to a Morning Consult poll published last week. Sanders sits second with 20% and Warren at 9%.
When asked who they'd select as a second choice, 22% of Warren voters chose Sanders, 21% named California Sen. Kamala Harris and 17% picked Biden.
The poll finds fewer in the Sanders camp like Means, who said he would enthusiastically support Warren if she were to get the nomination. Just 19% of Sanders voters identified Warren as their second choice, while 33% said they'd throw their support to Biden.
Overall, national polls show Warren has gained support since Biden entered the race, while Sanders has lost ground.

What it could mean in New Hampshire
The battle within the primary between Sanders vs. Warren should be of great concern to both campaigns in the "do-or-die" early voting state of New Hampshire, said James Demers, a Democratic strategist based in Concord. Biden had 33% of the vote, Sanders 12% and Warren 11% in New Hampshire, according to the latest TEL Opinion Research poll.
Primary voters in the Granite State have frequently shown favor to fellow New Englanders over the last 50 years. Past New Hampshire Democratic primary winners have included Sen. Edmund Muskie, of Maine; Sens. John Kerry, Paul Tsongas, and John F. Kennedy, of Massachusetts; Gov. Michael Dukakis, of Massachusetts; and Sanders. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney also won the New Hampshire primary on the Republican side.
"It does make for a dynamic where they are hurting each other in a state that's crucial for both candidates' path to the nomination," Demers said. "They're going to have to make a judgment call later this fall. At that point, they may have to have that hard conversation of whether they can both stay in the campaign and beat Biden."

But at this point in the race, backers of both Warren and Sanders say it is too early to worry about the senators cannibalizing each other's support.
What supporters are saying
Christina Ogburn-Chow, a Warren campaign volunteer, said she's tried not to game the electability of candidates or consider who might be pulling from her top choice.
"I do think we need bold progressive views, and I think as Warren continues to put out policy and continues to gain momentum, we'll see her rise in the polls," said Ogburn-Chow, who stood outside the California Democratic Party convention hall to hand out Warren campaign stickers as Sanders prepared to speak. "Frankly, I've decided I'm not going to worry about the polls yet. It's too early, and to quote Han Solo, 'Never tell me the odds.' "

Malcolm Barnes, a Palo Alto, Calif.-resident who is backing Sanders, argued the presence of both candidates is helping amplify issues important to him and other progressive voters.
"The more progressive voices that are heard this election cycle the better," Barnes said. "I think Bernie and Elizabeth Warren are going to push the Democratic Party to be more progressive."
Barnes added he is not worried that Sanders and Warren will split the progressive vote.
"I think he's going to do well enough to stand out from the other progressives."
On the stump, Sanders has pushed hard for "Medicare for All," a policy which would upend the private insurance system by expanding Medicare to cover every American. He's also railed against corporate power and economic inequality.
Warren has joined Sanders' legislative push on Medicare for All, while treading her own ground through a series of proposals – a free college tuition program, expanding affordable housing, providing universal child care to American families and others –through a $2.75 trillion tax hike on American households making more than $50 million.
A split in backers
Backers of both Sanders and Warren point to faults – some cosmetic and some more substantive – that they see in each to make the case why their candidate is the better progressive voice in the race.
Rebecca Haney, an accountant from Santa Clara, Calif, said Warren's "way of speaking isn't that strong."
"When you hear Bernie talk, he gets your attention," she said. "With her, it's like being in a classroom.
But she added, "I can imagine them on a ticket together!"
Ena Silva, another Sanders backer from Pleasant Hill, Calif., said she remains angry that Warren did not endorse Sanders during his 2016 run.
"She appeared too concerned with pleasing the party rather than doing the right thing," Silva said.
Ogburn-Chow, the Warren campaign volunteer, backed Sanders in the 2016 primary and still thinks highly of his politics. But she said that Sanders is not among her top 3 preferred nominees.
"I do feel like for me there is too much 2016 baggage," she said. "I want someone different. I want a fresh face."

Network Myanmar
Historical Bias in the Report of the UN Fact-Finding Mission
The Report of the Detailed Findings of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar to the UN Human Rights Council, which readers will recall was first discussed under political pressure in the UN Security Council at their 8381st Meeting on 24 October 2018 even before it had been considered by the Human Rights Council itself, has in many ways been the basis for cases now under consideration in the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
The evidence presented in the Report has been contested by Myanmar, but there can be no doubt that serious crimes against humanity have been committed in Rakhine State during the last three years. Myanmar has said that they are conducting their own investigation, while a majority of Members of the United Nations are calling for an independent inquiry.
An aspect of this matter which has not yet been considered is the accuracy and impartiality of references to historical events since Myanmar's independence in 1948. In the attached analysis I take the view that the Mission in its Report has not shown the objectivity which should have been expected from a Mission appointed by the Human Rights Council to establish the facts about the recent troubles in Rakhine State. In particular, I analyse two paragraphs of the Report, Nos. 473 and 475, which should raise concerns.

We have camps that cover a number of different topics, like wildlife, science fiction films, going green and more.
Sign your child up before June 1 and save 20 percent. See our full list of camps at roberson.org/summercamps.
While war raged across the sea in Europe in 1915, Americans were singing "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier." However, just two years later, the popular song of the day became "Over There," a patriotic song created to galvanize the public toward war. What happened?
Join us at 5:30 p.m. Friday, May 4, for a performance of folk music from Jeff Bronfeld, Al Millus, Julian Shepherd and Charlene Thomson. The group will play popular and trench music associated with World War I. In between sets, they will relate the history of this music.
First Friday admission is half-price ($4) from 5 to 9 p.m., which includes a free planetarium show.
We've opened registration for our beginner pottery classes this summer. For adults looking to learn about the basics of ceramics, this course will provide a solid foundation in wheel-throwing and hand-building.
Classes are limited to 10 people and run 6 to 9 p.m. Mondays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays, and 12 to 3 p.m. Wednesdays.
If you've ever wanted to drink your morning coffee out of a mug you molded, fired and painted yourself, then this course is for you. Sign up at roberson.org/clayworks.
Advocacy, art and wildlife are at the center of several of our upcoming Girl Scout programs.
This May and June, we have five exciting opportunities for young Girl Scouts to engage in activities of expression. Whether its learning how to shape clay or understanding how to advocate for others in a way that's positive, we have a number of activities aimed at empowering young women.
Explore our upcoming programs by going to roberson.org/girlscouts.
