Where is your data located?
Microsoft Office 365 helps you comply with your data residency requirements and regulations. On this page, we share where certain types of customer data are located at rest for specific Office 365 services. Additionally, the Online Services Terms delineate the data processing terms that govern the location of your customer data.
New Office 365 tenants are defaulted to a data center geography (Geo) based on the country of the transaction associated with that tenant's first subscription.
This map shows the datacenter locations where we store core customer data at rest for new customers who choose to provision their Office 365 tenant in the Asia Pacific Geo. Some services may store customer data at rest in other locations as documented in the detailed services list below.

Office 365 provides in-Geo data residency, business continuity, and disaster recovery for core customer data.
To maintain reliability and high availability, we replicate your customer data in at least two geographically distributed data center locations. Core customer data will only be replicated in data center locations in your Geo. Core customer data is customer data committed to be stored at rest only in your Geo according to the Microsoft Online Services Terms. At any given time, your core customer data may be stored at rest in any of the data center locations assigned to your Geo.
Office 365 is designed to provide a consistent experience independent of the location of your customer data.
The performance, international availability, and supported languages of Office 365 are not determined by your Geo and data center locations. Microsoft's continued investments in its global cloud network, global cloud infrastructure, and services architecture help provide users with a singular, consistent experience independent of where their data is stored.
Office 365 has robust policies, controls, and systems built in to help keep your data safe and help you comply with your regulations.
Your Office 365 data belongs to you. That means you have complete control over it. We give you extensive privacy controls and visibility into where your data resides and who can get access to it. Microsoft-managed service-level security technologies and policies are enabled by default, and customer-managed controls let you customize your Office 365 environment to fit your organization's security and compliance needs.
How does Microsoft define customer data?
Review our definitions for different types of data on the Microsoft Trust Center as well as the Microsoft Online Services Terms. We refer to core customer data as the customer data that is committed to be stored at rest only within your Geo according to the Microsoft Online Services Terms.
What are Microsoft's contractual commitments for data residency?
Microsoft is obligated to provide Online Services in accordance with the Microsoft Online Services Terms.
Will Microsoft give notice when we expand an existing multi-country Geo to include a new country?
If we expand a current multi-country Geo (Asia Pacific, European Union, or South America) where your data is stored into a new country, we will provide a 1-month advance notice of the change to administrators who have checked the "compliance notifications" option in the My Profile part of the Office 365 Admin center.
Where might customer data be processed or stored while it is in the services?
We store core customer data at rest only in specified Geos as described in the Microsoft Online Services Terms and we maintain this commitment even when processing your customer data throughout our global system. When we move your data within our global systems and facilities for efficient processing, we implement robust policies and processes to protect it. We encrypt your data in transit, limit unauthorized access and use (even by Microsoft personnel), and avoid unauthorized storage of core customer data outside of your Geo. When your data is in transit on public networks, it is always encrypted.
Where are the exact addresses of the data centers?
Microsoft does not disclose the exact addresses of its data centers. We established this policy to help secure our data center facilities.
Does the location of your customer data have a direct impact on your end users' experience?
The performance of Office 365 is not simply proportional to a user's distance to data center locations. Microsoft's continued investments in its global cloud network, global cloud infrastructure, and the Office 365 services architecture help provide users with a singular, consistent experience independent of where their data is stored at rest. If your users are experiencing performance issues, you should troubleshoot those in depth. Microsoft has published guidance for Office 365 customers to plan for and optimize end-user performance on the Office Support web site.
How does Microsoft help me comply with my national, regional, and industry-specific regulations?
To help you comply with national, regional, and industry-specific requirements governing the collection and use of individuals' data, Office 365 offers the most comprehensive set of compliance offerings of any global cloud productivity provider. Please review our compliance offerings and more details in the Office 365 Compliance section on the Microsoft Trust Center. Also, certain Office 365 plans offer further compliance solutions to help you manage your data, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and monitor actions taken on your data.
Who can access your data and according to what rules?
Microsoft implements strong measures to help protect your customer data from inappropriate access or use by unauthorized persons. This includes restricting access by Microsoft personnel and subcontractors, and carefully defining requirements for responding to government requests for customer data. However, you can access your own customer data at any time and for any reason. More details are available on the Microsoft Trust Center.
Does Microsoft access your data?
Microsoft automates most Office 365 operations while intentionally limiting its own access to customer data. This helps us manage Office 365 at scale and address the risks of internal threats to customer data. By default, Microsoft engineers have no standing administrative privileges and no standing access to customer data in Office 365. A Microsoft engineer may have limited and logged access to customer data for a limited amount of time, but only when necessary for normal service operations and only when approved by a member of senior management at Microsoft (and, for customers who are licensed for the Customer Lockbox feature, by the customer).
How does Microsoft secure your data?
Microsoft has robust policies, controls, and systems built into Office 365 to help keep your information safe. Review the Office 365 security section on the Microsoft Trust Center to learn more.
Does Office 365 encrypt your data?
Office 365 uses service-side technologies that encrypt customer data at rest and in transit. For customer data at rest, Office 365 uses volume-level and file-level encryption. For customer data in transit, Office 365 uses multiple encryption technologies for communications between data centers and between clients and servers, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Internet Protocol Security (IPsec). Office 365 also includes customer-managed encryption features.
Where can I find data residency information for other Microsoft cloud services?
Please review the Where your data is located section in the Microsoft Trust Center to find the details for other Microsoft cloud services.
What are Multi-Geo Capabilities in Office 365?
Multi-Geo enables a single Office 365 tenant to span across multiple Office 365 data center geographies (Geos) and gives customers the ability to store their Office 365 core customer data, on a per-user basis, in select Geos.
Multi-Geo is available for Exchange Online and OneDrive. Microsoft is investigating Multi-Geo for other Office 365 services. Updates will be posted at aka.ms/Multi-Geo.
What data center Geos are available with Multi-Geo?
Multi-Geo for Office 365 is available in the following Geos: Asia Pacific, Australia, Canada, India, Japan, Korea, United Kingdom, and United States. See aka.ms/Multi-Geo for details.


We deliver in-home IV infusions for the chronically ill. We specifically work with patients whose illness requires on-going long term infusions. In this way we can assist the patient and family with the ramifications of a chronic illness. Regularly scheduled IV infusions allow us to provide the continuity of care that we strive for with our patients and families.
We at Silberhorn Health enhance a team of professionals as a supporting discipline in order to focus on the best possible outcome for the patient and family.
Example: We have a young adult patient who is struggling with his disease. He has suffered episodes of non-compliance with his infusions. Upon identifying this with a deeper level of assessment and understanding, we eagerly arranged a dinner meeting with his case managers and another patient in the area who is his age. We were successful in creating a network of support for this young man in order for him to have peer support and understanding relating to his disease.


A BASEMENT fire that forced almost 100 residents to be evacuated from a unit block in Sydney's west may have been deliberately lit, police say.
Emergency services workers were called to the multi-storey building in Fairfield Street, Fairfield, at about 2.15am this morning.
A vehicle was found alight in the basement and residents were evacuated to a nearby RSL club while firefighters extinguished the blaze.
They are expected to be able to return to their homes later today.
A number of people, including several police officers, were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation, while one officer was taken to hospital.
Police are now investigating the fire, which they believe may have been deliberately lit.
Police are appealing for witnesses to contact Fairfield Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Fairfield Street is expected to remain closed for several hours while police examine the scene.

Patient choice and the effectiveness and safety of HIFU
An interesting article has just been published in the Journal of Urology which helps to provide information (and context) about the quality of data supporting the use of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in the treatment of prostate cancer. This article by Babalola et al. comes from staff at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Although HIFU was approved relatively recently for "prostate tissue ablation", it has never been approved in the US for the treatment of prostate cancer.
The authors report their findings from a detailed literature search (inclusive of all reports submitted to the FDA) that addressed:
The effectiveness and safety of HIFU
When used in the first-line treatment of localized prostate cancer
When used as a form of second-line, salvage therapy in the management of localized prostate cancer
When used either within the US or elsewhere
Patient preference information (PPI) on HIFU-related safety and effectiveness outcomes
Their findings were as follows:
There are "no HIFU effectiveness data relevant to clinical decision-making such as overall survival or prostate-cancer-specific survival in the US."
"Long-term effectiveness data from outside the US are sparse and outcomes are variable."
There are "no patient preference data on HIFU treatment in men with prostate cancer."
Your sitemaster would generally agree with these findings (although he is aware he may not have seen all of the data presented to the FDA because some of those data may be confidential).
Babalola et al. conclude that
The lack of long term HIFU oncological data in a United States population has brought new challenges to prostate cancer stakeholders including clinicians, patients, and the FDA. PPI from future patient studies on HIFU could provide additional information to patients, clinicians, and current and prospective device developers.
They further note that if such data existed it could "be used by regulators in their risk-benefit evaluation for this class of treatment devices."
The message to the developers and marketers of HIFU technology — and to the patients who are interested in seeing such technology approved for the treatment of prostate cancer — is a clear one: "Bring us sound data and we will consider it." Such data could specifically include data on patients' willingness to opt for treatment with HIFU over other management options (i.e., PPI), which might include active surveillance, radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, and other forms of management if the information provided to patients had been presented in a well-structured, well-documented, and neutral manner.
In other words, the FDA appears to be willing to consider approval of HIFU for the treatment of localized prostate cancer if it can be demonstrated that sufficient numbers of patients would select such a treatment option over other accepted forms of management when it is presented as one of several possible management options with the relevant supporting data.
This is actually — in the opinion of your sitemaster — a very interesting development. The "New" Prostate Cancer InfoLink has long advised selected, individual patients that HIFU might be an appropriate management option for them, while simultaneously cautioning that the long-term data on effectiveness and safety of this form of treatment has been less than entirely compelling. We believe in the right of patients to make the best decision about management and treatment for prostate cancer that "works" for them as individuals. If it can be shown that a sufficient percentage of newly diagnosed patients would choose HIFU as their first-line management option over other forms of therapy based on the currently available data, then patients should have the right to be treated that way — so long as they also appreciate that (a) it doesn't always work and (b) it can have some significant side effects.
And, as always, in addressing this issue, we would point out that it takes skill, training, and experience to learn to use HIFU really well. Any patients who wants to consider HIFU as a form of treatment for localized prostate cancer would be wise to discuss this with one of the relatively small number of specialists who have been well trained and who have had time to develop their skill and experience in the use of this technique.

"Significant side effects", bah hum bug, very rare and over reported (fake news!). This incorrect propaganda is the only adverse info on HIFU, read what all the patients say who have actually had HIFU (if you can find it, as HIFU patients are deleted and banned from most cancer web sites) and literally no one would opt for some other treatment, which does have significant side effects". If we cannot get HIFU we are better off doing nothing.
Sitemaster, on April 30, 2018 at 10:28 am said:
Dear Don:
What rubbish. Please tell that to the patients who had excellent erectile function prior to their HIFU treatment and then didn't. And I know of no patient who has been "banned" from any patients forum.
Allen Edel, on April 30, 2018 at 4:09 pm said:
I don't think that focal HIFU as a primary therapy should be administered outside of a carefully conducted clinical trial where the patients have to read and sign a document demonstrating informed consent of the risks. Patient-directed advertising touting unsubstantiated claims should be prosecuted.
Among the many risks associated with it are the controversial "index tumor" theory it's based on, incomplete ablation in the ablation zone due to the heat sink effect and protective bystander effects, inability to adequately define the target with MRI, undetected satellite tumors, safe and unsafe locations to target, damage to organs at risk, "re-do" rates, methods for tracking progression after therapy, salvage therapies, whether it's any better than active surveillance in low-risk patients, whether it's any better than, say, SBRT in intermediate-risk patients, dangers associated with the procedure itself, the role of experience in practitioners, the cost of the procedures. Most patients who rush into this don't even know that these are unresolved issues. Without long-term data on all these open questions, patients cannot make an informed judgment.
don, on May 2, 2018 at 10:59 am said:
I know (on line) 14 who had HIFU. None had any side effects at all. They also know others.
I personally have been banned several times from every cancer site I could find. This is the only site that hasn't banned me. All I said was the word HIFU, and something positive. Healingwell is the quickest site to ban. Once I said it didn't work for me to see if they would ban me, they didn't, what a coincidence.
Some people were mad at me because it costs so much, I felt bad for them, but they shouldn't be mad at me. I was even banned from a women's forum. It's been 10 years since I had my treatment. The worst part of HIFU is the patient cost. And the fact that no one cares about the outcome because there is too much invested in robotic and radiation, not much to invest into HIFU.
No drug manufacturer will ever invest in a clinical trial when there are no drugs or need to even put the patient to sleep for the treatment. And no HIFU doctor has the cash to run a clinical trial.
Produce one man who says HIFU ruined their function here, just one! I won't believe it until I read one.
There are several guys here who had HIFU who post here. I haven't read one who is unhappy.
When I was first banned, and I got a pop up which said, "You've been banned from this site", I was sick to my stomach. I thought I came with wonderful news and everyone would cheer, instead, one post and gone.
Sitemaster, on May 2, 2018 at 1:14 pm said:
The side effects and complications associated with the use of HIFU have been reported in multiple scientific and medical papers and in documentation provided to the FDA and other regulatory agencies by the manufacturers of the equipment. HIFU certainly works very well for some men. So do lots of other treatments. They all still come with risk for complications and side effects.
I did the very simplest of on-line searches to find an unhappy patient within seconds. And here's a link to data on the outcomes of > 500 HIFU patients treated at one of the most respected prostate cancer treatment centers in Europe. Note that only 25.4% of the men who were sexually potent prior to treatment were sexually potent afterwards! The fact that you have "met" 14 patients on line who claim to have had excellent outcomes doesn't mean a thing. I can probably find you hundreds of men on line who claim to have had wonderful results after nerve-sparing surgery and various forms of radiation therapy too.
On the other hand, I am delighted to hear that your treatment went well. … But that doesn't mean that everyone else's did.
And HIFU actually isn't particularly expensive — when you compare it to the cost for — say — proton beam radiation therapy (which some other men imply has few to no complications or side effects, but that isn't true either).
John, on May 9, 2018 at 5:26 pm said:
My urologist (I'm relatively close to Toronto, Canada) said he has had three patients who have had HIFU. This treatment is not covered by our free medical care here, but is available, for example, at a private Toronto clinic at a cost of around CAD$15,000 to CAD$20,000.
Results of all three of this urologist's patients who opted for HIFU were bad.
One problem with HIFU, he said, is that good candidates for HIFU are, generally speaking, also good candidates for active surveillance (AS). Hence the problem of choosing HIFU (with its cost, side effects and risks) vs AS (no costs or side effects and few risks).

Q: obfucation of logging outputs across all hadler I have written a simple script with uses the request module,
requests in turn uses urllib3 which emits logs at the DEBUG level where it contains the entire URL [including sensitive components such as api_keys username/passwords etc]
How can I partially modify the log records to obfuscate these sensitive strings
example
without obfuscation the result looks like:
DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:https://a.klaviyo.com:443 "GET /api/v1/metrics/timeline?api_key=pk_a1bcfde2bbca1628baceffdcabaebbc221&count=100&sort=asc HTTP/1.1" 200 None

what I would like it to look like
DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:https://a.klaviyo.com:443 "GET /api/v1/metrics/timeline?api_key=[REDACTED]&count=100&sort=asc HTTP/1.1" 200 None

since I not have control over the way logging is implemented in other modules is there a way I can even achieve this?
Note I do not have a minimum code example as I do not know where to start
for reference I use streamhandler, filehandler, sockethandler and a custom slackhandler

A: The best way to censor logs is to use a filter. Here's an example that will replace all numbers that are logged with X. You will have to implement your own logic how to find the strings that you want censored.
import logging
import re

def myfilter(record):
    record.msg = re.sub(r'[0-9]', 'X', record.msg)
    return True

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.addFilter(myfilter)

logger.error('c3nsor th1s str1ng 123 test')

While health professionals and health researchers are the experts on the illness, patients are the experts of living with the illness. Patients bring direct experience and fresh perspectives to research. When patients are involved in health research, they are empowered to have a direct impact on arrhythmia care.
CANet believes that patients should play a key role in developing research agendas and conducting research and the Network involves patients in all aspects of decision-making, operations, and participation in research programs.
The CANet Patient Advisory Council (PAC) consists of 10 patients, caregivers or family members affected by arrhythmia from across Canada and who have significant experience in the healthcare system. Members of our PAC share their knowledge of living with arrhythmia to participate in the majority of activities and initiatives of CANet.
Each CANet-funded project and activity has a PAC member or other arrhythmia patient as a fully integrated member of the research team.
Patient partners share valuable insight and first-hand knowledge of how arrhythmia care impacts patients and their families. Our patient partners are involved across the Network as patient co-leads on research projects, and as volunteers on all committees including the Patient Advisory Committee and Board of Directors.
There are many opportunities to participate in our Network and patient partners are matched with their interest, experience, and availability.
My motivation to join the project was to improve outcomes for other patients that live in remote areas that can benefit directly from remote sensing.
Interested in becoming a CANet Patient Partner?

Scottish Rural Parliament 2018 – Report out!
The summary report from the Scottish Rural Parliament 2018 has been launched at an event at the Scottish Parliament. The launch event was sponsored by Finlay Carson, MSP for Dumfries & Galloway, which hosted the Rural Parliament in November 2018. The event attracted cross-party representation from MSPs including Minister for Rural Affairs and Natural Environment Mairi Gougeon MSP and Cabinet Secretary for Government Business and Constitutional Relations Michael Russell MSP.
More decision-making should be carried out at a local level, and more services should be delivered at a local level. There was consensus that rural people believe there are a wide range of issues on which their voices are not heard and needs not met by the public and private sector. It is generally believed that urban needs are prioritised because more people live there.
There needs to be a transparent, formalised and obligatory process for identifying rural-urban tensions and needs within the policy-making process. Rural communities require support and information in understanding how public sector decisions are made and if, and how, those decisions balance rural and urban needs.
The rural voice needs to be heard on issues which are key to the future and sustainability of rural communities. Too often the rural voice is often not present in the room when policy is being agreed. For example, the Homelessness and Rough Sleepers Action Group had no rural representation.
Communities need to be educated and supported to take advantage of new legislation designed to empower them, for example, making use of compulsory purchase legislation to build new housing. This legislation could be highly effective, but only if communities are effectively supported in utilising it and bureaucracy in doing so is minimised.
Rural communities can be and are agents of change. By proactively engaging with decision-makers, leading by example in terms of inclusion and being innovative in solving problems, rural communities are often the key to unlocking rural potential.
There is a need for increased cross-sector knowledge and experience-sharing; examining specific issues and solutions with a view to adapting and replicating the innovation which is taking place in some rural areas. Challenges can be best addressed cost-effectively through co-production and partnerships; we need to be working together to tackle those issues which are going to have the deepest impact on the sustainability of rural communities.
"While the Rural Parliament covered a very broad range of topics and challenges, there were clear overarching themes and asks from rural Scotland that primarily relate to equality, inclusivity and knowledge sharing.
"What has emerged from the Rural Parliament is a clear demand that the voice of rural Scotland should be heard. This is particularly crucial during the Brexit negotiations and post-Brexit policy development. We know that rural areas will be particularly affected by divergence from EU policies and removal from EU structural funds.
"In many ways Stranraer was the perfect host venue for the Rural Parliament as it exemplifies many of the challenges rural areas face, such transport difficulties, an aging population and simply not being heard. Importantly Stranraer also highlights what is best about rural Scotland, in particular its people.
What should local democracy look like?

So how might one experience and explore this work? In an interview with the New Yooxer, Hadid discusses how MAXXI was not conceived as a singular object, but as a field condition. "The…decision was not to do a single building, not to do an object, but to do an ensemble, or a field," she says. By going beyond the confines of the object, she contends that it is then possible to extend "beyond the boundary of the site" in order to truly connect with the rest of the urban environment. In a conversation with curator and critic Hans-Ulrich Obrist at the DLD Women Conference in Munich, Hadid discusses how a 16 year-old boy with no architectural or artistic training attended the opening of the MAXXI and stated that that the experience of the building was "like being in rivers." This, in her mind, was a very accurate understanding of the project. "I thought it was very exciting that someone who was not in the profession actually could read it better than those who are architects because they are already so rigid by the way they've been educated." It could be interpreted here that one of the building's poignancies, therefore, is that its flowing, dynamic spaces can genuinely be 'felt' – even by those members of the untrained public. The success of the building does not hinge upon rationalized explanations.
One could argue that many of Hadid's projects attempt to perform in these ways. Even her earliest paintings could be explored as experiential fields instead of as objects. So what pushed MAXXI over the line and into the esteemed club of Stirling Prize winners? The judges proclaim this to be "her best work yet." But perhaps it is MAXXI's response to the historical context of Rome that gives it an increased sense of potency and relevance. "History is there to teach you how to make the next discovery or the next adventure, not to prohibit you from moving on," Hadid proclaimed in the New Yooxer interview. On a site that was once a car factory, then military barracks, Hadid opted not to save the existing building. "We decided to remove the barracks because we did not think it was really necessarily appropriate to inhabit an industrial military space for a new museum, in Rome in particular." Instead of indiscriminately paying homage to the past, a more typically 'accepted' mode of intervening in a city such as Rome, Hadid boldly challenges that assumption. By choosing MAXXI as the winner, the judges have clearly sided with her position that it is appropriate to demolish existing structures to make way for powerful new urban interventions.
Although some might see this as a daring urbanistic approach to Rome, I would argue that it is, rather, a resurgence of the kinds of urban practices that Rome has seen throughout its history. In the early 1500s under Pope Julius II, the early Christian basilica of Saint Peter was demolished to enable Bramante to begin an exciting new trajectory of building, what would eventually – after passing through the hands of multiple architects including Michelangelo– lead to what we today know as Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. In the late 1500s Pope Sixtus V established long avenues connecting various points around the city, relocating ancient obelisks to selectively emphasize specific urban nodes. And in the mid 1600s, under Pope Urban VIII, Bernini demolished an existing urban fountain as well as a number of nearby residences in order to build what is now the popularly visited Trevi Fountain. Hadid's decision to remove obsolete military barracks could be seen as another step along this trajectory. The creation of a new cultural nexus that absorbs and releases the city's social and economic flows also aligns with centuries of initiatives for instigating urban progress in Rome.
So perhaps the question at stake in this year's Stirling Prize competition is not only about examining the poignancies of the architectural artifact, but is also about resuscitating visionary ways of modernizing cities that are often restrained by questions of history.
Upon first glance, this year's Stirling Prize shortlist features what seems to be an eclectic mix of projects, with distinct spatial, tectonic and urban planning strategies. On one hand, the list includes projects such as Zaha Hadid Architects' MAXXI (Rome, Italy) and dRMM's Clapham Manor Primary School (London, England), buildings that strive to produce a strong visual impact. On the other hand, the list also contains a group of relatively restrained projects that exude a sense of formal and urbanistic politeness, such as the Neues Museum (Berlin, Germany) by David Chipperfield Architects and the Ashmolean Museum (Oxford, England) by Rick Mather Architects. Along similar lines, Bateman's Row (London, England), a commercial and residential project by Theis and Khan Architects, implements an aesthetic strategy that is driven by a desire to unassumingly fit neatly into its surrounding neighborhood. Christ's College School (Guildford, England) by DSDHA also appears formally and materially subdued on the exterior, even without the restrictive pressures of a dense urban environment.
The variety of architectural attitudes and strategies among this year's group will ensure a difficult task for the judges to compare one project to another. Looking at the effects of each selected building, one could be easily enticed to begin grouping them into distinct categories of judgment: bold or restrained; aggressive or polite; ostentatious or humble. While gut reactions are unavoidable and in fact necessary, these kinds of polarizations are not particularly productive in this case. Perhaps, then, a more productive question is to ask: How do these projects address the resistances of their respective demands and criteria, in order to create places of poignancy?
A nearly common thread running throughout the shortlist is the notion of historical context as a form of resistance – in other words, the architect's ever-present problem of 'old versus new.' This is met with varying attitudes. While Bateman's Row attempts to discreetly insert itself into its brick-clad neighborhood, the extension of Clapham Manor School tectonically contrasts the school's 19th century brick building, using dynamic patterns of colored, fritted and clear glass panels to create, as stated by the architects in their website, "a non-institutionalized expression." The Ashmolean Museum extension deploys both tactics. From the exterior it appears to be tucked behind the original Greek Revival building. Yet the addition's austere spaces suddenly appear from within, sharply contrasting the formal order and texture of the existing structure. Although these three projects use completely different tactics in addressing their respective historical contexts, they can be acclaimed as thoughtful works of architecture – either for their sensitivity, gutsiness, or both. However, in terms of achieving the elusive conditions of poignancy, it is perhaps the Neues Museum by David Chipperfield Architects which strikes a more resonant chord. One could argue that the project was already loaded with provocation from the start, given the immense gravity of its site, a 19th century building in Berlin that was extensively bombed during World War II and left in ruins for over 60 years. Rather than 'reconstruct' lost building elements or violently insert a new aesthetic agenda, the architects tactfully assumed the role of a 'prosthetic' surgeon, taking cues from the existing building sequence and restoring areas to create both differentiation and continuity between old and new elements. From their website: "All the gaps in the existing structure were filled in without competing with the existing structure in terms of brightness and surface." The architects' gestures, however understated, take on a powerful, almost ghostly aura. Seeing the shell of the historic structure juxtaposed with blankly unarticulated 'reconstructions' of disparate buildings parts is reminiscent of the apparition-like presence of Rachel Whiteread's sculptures.
This is not to say that formal subtlety is the key to producing poignancy within conditions of historical resistance. MAXXI, the National Museum for XXI Century Arts, is a project that has relentlessly followed the vision of Zaha Hadid's signature imagination, yet it appears to have been carefully considered within its context in the Via Flaminia area of Rome. Unlike other large-scale buildings nearby which stand as closed urban objects (for example the Palazzo dello Sport by Pier Luigi Nervi, a structure I still admire nonetheless), MAXXI has been sculpted not only to encourage pedestrian flow in and through the site, but also to present spatial revelations along the way. The canted window along the building's major cantilevered moment reflects the city, in a manner similar to the sublime moment of Barcelona's Centre de Cultura Contemporània (CCCB) project by Viaplana & Piñon. Windows looking into the building are situated in alongside views looking out toward Rome, creating dynamic exchanges between inside and outside.
But perhaps it is not entirely fair to compare the experiential poignancies of museum architecture with more 'commonplace' buildings such as schools and residences. While museums often have the luxury of taking on generously proportioned design budgets, jaw-dropping site conditions, and broader questions of defining 'identity' and 'culture,' programs such as schools (of which there are two on this year's shortlist) are rarely granted those privileges. Especially given today's economic stresses, school and housing projects arguably demand a higher degree of accountability toward more 'everyday' resistances such as the sustained comfort of its occupants or environmental performance. As such, it is perhaps more difficult to produce poignancies from a serious consideration of these kinds of everyday resistances.
Certainly, Bateman's Row, Clapham Manor Primary School, and Christ's College School have successfully tackled many 'everyday' social responsibilities of architecture. Bateman's Row is a tasteful example of a mixed-use urban building that is "viable from the start" (quoting the architects' website) in commercial and residential real estate markets. With its enviable views (especially from the uppermost residence), its clean and flexible interior layout, and its elegant fit into a dense East London neighborhood, this building will surely remain as a living presence in London for years to come. The Clapham Manor School has also been conceived of in a way which parallels recent social agendas in school design. The building's circulation system advocates for interactivity, featuring colorfully lit informal spaces, without the confinement of corridors. The classrooms are doused in patterns of daylight, filtered through brightly colored window panes. Scattered pin-up spaces, corresponding with the window wall pattern, de-emphasize the hierarchy that typically exists in the classroom. Christ's College School seems to abide by a more conventional understanding of the school as an institution, with a well-organized plan of proper classrooms arranged along a continuous corridor system. Yet, despite its organizational 'normalcy,' it is Christ's College School that comes closest to achieving a sense of 'everyday' poignancy. It is perhaps even because of these normative conditions that other less conventional tactics emerge as moments of intense pleasure and surprise. For example, classrooms appear to be efficiently functional and designed without any architectural gimmicks. Yet, the ambience of each classroom differs from what one might expect due to the building's innovative heat recovery and ventilation system, which is implemented in the façade of the building. The effects of this porous "breathing wall" are not only felt within the classrooms, but also seen as aesthetic clues in the resolution of the façade's details. In contrast to the unadorned nature of the classrooms, the atrium – a space which serves as the students' lunch area – appears suddenly as a vision of excess. It is a triple-height space, accented with both natural and artificial lighting, and generously clad with the warmth of timber. In a way, the celebration of the atrium space is a way of heightening the students' most (arguably) anticipated moment of the day: lunchtime.
This year's Stirling Prize Competition confronts us with a number of questions. Can architectural poignancy exist in everyday projects? If so, can these 'everyday' poignancies stand up to the striking poignancies generated by museums and other cultural institutions? In this case, it will be up to the judges to make that official decision.
The 2010 RIBA Stirling Prize judges are Ruth Reed, RIBA President (chair), Professor Lisa Jardine – Author, and Ivan Harbour – Architect at Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, Edward Jones – Architect at Dixon/Jones and Mark Lawson – BBC Culture Show broadcaster.
The RIBA Stirling Prize is awarded to the architects of the building that has made the greatest contribution to British architecture in the past year.

I've been excited to hear more about initiatives like Code Club and Code.org, which aim to make code a normal part of a child's education.
One of my favourite things about the internet is it's ability to empower people to learn and create, but I've never thought about how the code itself could also do that.
I'm excited to see how Code.org and Code Club progress. In particular I'd be interested to see if initiatives pop up here in Portland too.

LSU falls at Arkansas, 60-40
By LSU Athletics
Category: College Basketball, LSU
Fayetteville, Ark. – LSU Basketball fell on the road to Arkansas, 60-40, on Tuesday night at Bud Walton Arena.
After trailing 38-14 at the half, LSU was able to mount a short comeback, starting the second half on a 17-4 scoring run to close the gap to 11. However, Arkansas would respond with a scoring run of their own and only allow the Tigers to score nine more points in the half as they ultimately pulled away for the victory.
"It's the conversation no one wants to hear, but I do agree. In the first half, we just couldn't finish at the rim and the turnovers killed us," said head coach Matt McMahon. "We have a pretty simple formula that would give us a chance, you saw that some in the second half. We were able to execute and finish some plays, not have the crazy turnovers that led to transition. What that enables you to do is set your defense. When you turn it over 10 times and miss 22 of you 25 shots against an elite transition offensive team, you are in big trouble. Second half, we were able to finish a few plays, make a few shots and set our defense and were pretty effective there in our half court defense."
LSU was led in both scoring and rebounding by KJ Williams, who finished with nine points and 11 rebounds. Adam Miller added nine points of his own. Justice Williams had seven points and a team high two assists.
Davonte Davis led the Razorbacks with 16 points. Anthony Black added 14 points and seven rebounds. Makhi Mitchell had a team high eight rebounds and added 10 points of his own. Rickey Council IV had 10 points and led the team with seven assists.
The Tigers will be back home on Saturday as they host Texas Tech in the annual SEC/Big 12 Challenge in the PMAC at 1 p.m. CT on ESPNU.

Following the surprise drop of 1UP, T-Pain recently paid a visit to Apple Music for a sit-down with Ebro Darden. During the discussion, T-Pain revealed that he and Lil Wayne would be releasing a follow-up to their collaborative mixtape, T-Wayne.
T-Wayne came out in 2017 while Lil Wayne was in the midst of a legal battle with Cash Money Records surrounding the delayed release of Tha Carter V. In the conversation with Ebro, T-Pain also disclosed that he was trying to help Lil Wayne put out music while he was dealing with the dispute.
Check out the full interview below, and stay tuned here for more updated on T-Wayne 2.


Do the Over-50 Unemployed Have It Worst?
We've heard a lot about how the recession has hurt employment prospects for the young. But what about the old? A Monday New York Times story says many Americans over the age of fifty are also out of work, and worry that they may not regain employment before voluntary or involuntary retirement. In short, they fear they may never work again. Will the economy bounce back in time?
The Plight of Older (Former) Workers "Because it will take years to absorb the giant pool of unemployed at the economy's recent pace, many of these older people may simply age out of the labor force before their luck changes," explains The New York Times' Mokoto Rich. Unemployment is always difficult, but "older workers suspect their résumés often get shoved aside in favor of those from younger workers." Plus, skills can get "rusty after years of working for the same company." Unemployment past fifty deals a significant blow even to those who were trying to plan ahead, continues Rich.. "Many [now unemployed workers] had in fact anticipated working past conventional retirement ages to gird themselves financially for longer life spans, expensive health care and reduced pension guarantees."
But the Government Doesn't Care "It is an unpleasant observation, but perhaps a true one," remarks 24/7 Wall St.'s Douglas McIntyre. Why is the government ignoring the problem? "[The older unemployed] are less likely to have dependent children than younger employed people. And children are America's future, at least on paper." Politicians also prefer to help recent graduates, as "younger Americans out of work could be a drag on the system for years. They and their children could be the equivalent of wards of the state for nearly a decade if the recession wears on," while the elderly will get picked up--at least for a while--by Social Security. McIntyre points out, though, that not focusing on the problem of the older unemployed "could cost the Administration dearly at the polls. Older citizens are not usually activists but more of them vote than do people under 25."
Young people can't find jobs; laid-off 50-somethings fear that they'll never work again. Yet if you want to find real political rage--the kind of rage that makes people compare President Obama to Hitler, or accuse him of treason--you won't find it among these suffering Americans. You'll find it instead among the very privileged, people who don't have to worry about losing their jobs, their homes, or their health insurance, but who are outraged, outraged, at the thought of paying modestly higher taxes.
How About We Focus on This Instead of the Deficit? "What," wonders economist Mark Thoma, "does this say about plans to increase the age at which Social Security recipients can retire with full benefits (as opposed to other solutions such as raising the income cap that are progressive rather than regressive)?" He's irritated to see "Congress and the Fed" focusing on "imagined fears of deficits and inflation" rather than "the real struggles of the unemployed."


However, there are several other barriers to breastfeeding children including ignorance of benefits of breastfeeding, improper advice from friends and family leading to supplement breast milk with formula, lack of support for working mothers from employers in providing environment conducive for breastfeeding, and lack of trained health workers who can guide new mothers about the right techniques of breastfeeding.
She further said that breast milk was vital because it acts as the baby's first vaccine, thereby boosting immunity for newborn babies.
Ambode, in a statement on Tuesday to commemorate the occasion of this year's World Breast-feeding Week, held annually in the first week of August, said the benefits of breast milk to the infant were too profound to be ignored, as it was an important foundation for a baby's life, capable of determining whether the baby would live or otherwise. Picture shows a health-care worker storing donated breast milk at the milk bank of the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Guatemala City. There are also a number of unfortunate myths that deter women from breastfeeding. In India, despite breastfeeding being a traditionally accepted practice, Only 55 percent babies receive regular breastfeeding for 6 months.
The report urges governments, donors and other decision-makers to adopt strong legal measures to restrict the marketing of infant formula and other breastmilk substitutes but emphasise exclusive breastfeeding. One of the steps to successful exclusive breastfeeding includes allowing mothers and infants remain together 24 hours a day. Breast milk is packed with nourishment to ensure a baby's good health and survival. This is especially important as most establishments in Nigeria do not make any provisions for crèches where breastfeeding mothers can bring their babies so that the babies are close enough for the mothers to take breastfeeding breaks and breastfeed their infants. It has purgative properties that help to clear the meconium (the greenish stool passed by babies). This is based on a report from UNICEF and WHO.
Otuneye said that low milk supply by nursing mothers could put a baby at risk for malnutrition, saying that it was necessary to seek medical help early. World Health Organization and UNICEF have created a Network for Global Monitoring and Support for Implementation of the International Code (NetCode) with the objective of strengthening capacity for Code monitoring, adherence and implementation.
The World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for children until they are six months old and continued breastfeeding with appropriate complementary feedings until children are two, for optimal growth and development. In our community our ancestors have been breastfeeding till the child is 4-5 years also, even now in tribal community they do follow this.
But opponents say the regulations could result in longer wait times and higher prices for ride-hail services. The Council also voted to set a minimum driver wage equivalent to the yellow cab wage for app-based drivers.

Trading Small Cap Stocks with E-Mini Russell 2000 Futures
August 13, 2020 by Daniels Trading| Tips & Strategies
If you're interested in maximizing risk and reward, look no further than the Russell 2000 index. Comprising equity offerings nicknamed the "small caps," this asset class features the utmost in growth potential for the U.S. equities markets. If you're an aspiring futures market gunslinger, Micro E-mini and E-mini Russell 2000 futures listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) may be just the markets for you.
What Is the Russell 2000?
By definition, a small cap stock is one with an aggregate market capitalization that falls between US$250 million and US$2 billion. Accordingly, the Russell 2000 features the lower 2,000 offerings of the broader Russell 3000 index―the crème de la crème of American small caps.
The beauty of the Russell 2000 is that it provides maximum exposure to the growth potential of U.S. stocks. A few leading components of the index are Conformis Inc. (CFMS), Digital Turbine Inc. (APPS), and Kodiak Sciences Inc. (KOD). If these names fail to ring a bell, don't worry. Remember, Russell 2000 companies are up-and-comers, not the Apples (AAPL) and Amazons (AMZN) of the world.
Whereas stock trading is great for traditional buy-and-hold investors, equities index futures are ideal for active traders. The E-mini DOW 30, E-mini S&P 500, and E-mini NASDAQ 100 are fantastic offerings for those interested in tracking the major U.S. stock indices. However, for people who have a receptive attitude toward risk and have their sights set on extraordinary rewards, the Russell 2000 is the quintessential trading venue.
COVID-19 and the Russell 2000
Wherever there are large returns, there's added risk. And if we've learned anything from the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, it's that unimaginable market moves are possible. In the case of the Russell 2000 Index, Q1 and Q2 2020 featured unprecedented volatility and a historically wide trading range.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russell 2000 was a textbook example of an "unhinged" market. According to the Financial Times, approximately 42 percent of Russell 2000 companies failed to turn a year-over-year profit following the early stages of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
Going into Jan. 1, 2020, this was an unthinkable statistic. However, global lockdowns fostered an unprecedented economic downturn, prompting Russell 2000 futures to struggle mightily. In fact, during March 2020, September E-mini Russell 2000 futures plunged by 22.5 percent, pacing losses of the E-mini DOW, E-mini S&P 500, and E-mini NASDAQ.
In turbulent markets, it's all about selecting the proper leverage for any given trade. To do so in the American equities indices, both the Micro E-mini and E-mini Russell 2000 are useful. Here's a look at the key contract specifications of each:
Tick Value
E-mini Russell 2000 RTY $5.00 $1,000.00
Micro E-mini Russell 2000 M2K $0.50 $100.00
One of the great things about futures trading is that there's a market and a product for everyone. No matter your capital resources, trading Russell 2000 futures during spring 2020 was possible via the E-mini Russell 2000 or Micro E-mini 2000.
Interested in Learning More About Russell 2000 Futures?
In the modern marketplace, risk management is a science. Subsequently, stocks, bonds, currencies, and futures are common components of most diversified portfolios. Nonetheless, if you're interested in pursuing extraordinary returns via U.S. equities, look no further than E-mini or E-micro Russell 2000 futures.

"The picture must be after Nature herself" - Henry Fielding (1707-1754)
Italian Riviera wildflowers of Costa Rainera
This image was captured by the artist during a walk from the ancient village of Costa Rainera on the thousand year old cobbled path bordered by dry-stone walls from which sprout the distorted trunks of wild fig trees to join the hillside Ligurian village to the Italian riviera seaside town of San Lorenzo al Mare. These short-lived wild flowers often survive for less than forty eight hours. Their existence may be due to the rare micro climate that exists in the three-village region of Cipressa, Lingueglietta and Costarainera; about half way down the path one reaches a particular point where there is a perceptible change of temperature and humidity. The watercolour technique is the ideal medium to capture the fugitive colours and rare forms of these plants in the short time that the artist has at his disposal before they fade and die.

Creamed spinach with artichoke is a top-shelf side dish that is sure to impress your guests-just don't tell them how easy it is to prepare! This is my personal favorite side dish to serve with a grilled steak. A few simple modifications and you have the makings of a fabulous spinach and artichoke dip.
Prepare the frozen spinach as directed on the package; drain if necessary. If using fresh spinach, rinse well and set aside to drain. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Slice the shallots and artichoke hearts and chop the garlic and set aside.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a sauté pan over medium high heat. When melted and starting to foam, add the shallots and sauté until starting to clear.
Add the artichoke hearts and garlic and continue to sauté.
Add salt and pepper and the remaining tablespoon of butter.
When starting to melt, add the heavy cream; starting with about 1/2 cup. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to maintain a simmer; continue stirring and shaking the pan until starting to thicken.
Add the spinach and blend together. Stir in the Romano cheese.
Taste for salt and pepper and add if needed; continue to simmer until thickened to a creamy consistence.
This recipe works well with fresh spinach (pictured above before it thickened), but you need at least a pound because it reduces down. Probably my favorite is using frozen spinach that can be steamed in the microwave. Frozen spinach in a block also works, but make sure to drain off all the liquid in a colander or strainer then squeeze out the remaining water before using.
Just about every authentic New Orleans restaurant serves gumbo, maybe turtle soup and a New Orleans original-Oyster Artichoke Bisque. This rich soup pairs the wonderful flavor of fresh gulf oysters with the distinctive taste of artichoke. One bite and you'll be hooked!
A New Orleans original: Oyster Artichoke Bisque, a rich creamy soup that pairs the wonderful flavor of fresh gulf oysters with the distinctive taste of artichoke. You won't believe how something that tastes so fantastic could be this easy to make!
Drain the oysters in a strainer and reserve the liquid. Set aside while they drain. Chop the artichoke bottoms, yellow onions, green pepper, celery and garlic and place in one bowl. Chop the artichoke hearts and green onions and place each in their own separate bowl. Measure all other ingredients except the stock.
In a heavy bottom dutch oven, melt the butter over medium to medium-high heat until foaming. Sauté the artichoke bottoms, onions, green peppers, celery and garlic until clear and starting to brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the vegetable mixture with a slotted spoon to a small food processor. Puree the vegetable mixture and set aside.
In the dutch oven, melt 1/2 cup butter until foaming, add the flour and stir to make a light roux, about 4 or 5 minutes to get the flour taste out. Mix the pureed vegetables completely into the roux, add about half of the creole seasoning and white pepper and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
Add enough chicken stock to the oyster liquor to make 5 cups of liquid. Leave the oysters in the strainer and set aside, reserve all the liquid that continues to drain.
Add the oyster juice/stock to the roux/vegetable mix, starting with small amounts and stirring to completely blend everything together before adding more. Once about half of the liquid has been added in this way, add the remainder, stirring completely.
Bring the mixture to a heavy simmer. Add the chopped artichoke hearts and mix well. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, uncovered.
Add the heavy cream and stir together until completely blended, simmer another 5 minutes.
Add the oysters a few at a time, stirring well in between-make sure to add any oyster juice that has accumulated. Add the green onions and the remaining Creole seasoning and white pepper and mix well. Simmer about 5 minutes until the oysters are curling up on their edges and are cooked. Taste for seasoning and add kosher salt to taste. The oysters may be salty so remember to taste the bisque before you add salt.
Cover and remove the bisque from the heat and allow to sit for about 15 minutes before serving.
To drain the oyster, place a strainer or small colander over a 4 or 8 cup glass measuring cup. Place the oysters in the strainer and set in the refrigerator. When ready to use the juice, empty the measuring cup into another vessel and add enough stock to make 5 cups of liquid. Place the strainer with the oysters over the original measuring cup and return to the refrigerator, they will continue to drain and you should add that extra oyster liquid into the bisque when adding the oysters.
Be careful adding salt. Many commercial creole seasonings contain salt and the oysters and oyster juice could be salty. Taste the bisque after the oysters have simmered for 10 minutes and add kosher salt to your liking.
