Mauna Kea Telescopes Announce Return To Work
on Aug 9, 2019 at 12:28 pm
MAUNA KEA, Hawaiʻi - The Maunakea Access Road remains blockaded, yet the observatories have accepted the agreement reached between the state and the TMT opponents that will give them access to the summit.
(BIVN) – On Friday at noon, the existing Mauna Kea observatories announced that they will return to work after a four-week suspension. On July 16, the observatories shut down, and withdrew personnel off the mountain, as the standoff over the planned Thirty Meter Telescope was – at that time – in its first week.
The observatories appear to be accepting an offer that was previously on the table, but are calling it a temporary agreement, since the Mauna Kea Access Road is still closed.
"The Maunakea Observatories represent an invaluable sector for Hawai'i Island and our entire State – the economic impact, intellectual capital, educational resources and community support they provide is irreplaceable," said Governor David Ige in a written statement that was distributed by the observatories. "The interim solution for access to the telescopes is a step forward but remains inadequate for the long term. The State remains committed to re-opening the Maunakea Access Road intersection as an immediate priority. The State stands behind the more than 500 employees' efforts to bring the telescopes back online to begin astronomical observations again."
The state closed the Mauna Kea Access Road on July 15, the day construction on the TMT was set to begin. But TMT opponents beat the construction crews to the road, and set up their own blockade that has been in effect ever since. Law enforcement has been unable to remove the opposition.
The Maunakea Observatories issued a news release in which astronomy officials explained how the operations, including scientific observations, will resume. It states:
The Maunakea Access Road remains blockaded. However, activists agreed, after the Emergency Proclamation was withdrawn, to allow all existing observatory employees, including astronomers, to access Maunakea using the Old Saddle Road and a section of unpaved lava. This route is unimproved and lined with tents, cars and people. However, pursuant to this agreement, on Wednesday, August 7, 2019 the state laid cinder and cones in an attempt to address safety concerns. The people blocking the road also agreed to allow larger vehicles to access Maunakea by going around the tent blockade. This means the vehicles will travel on the road's shoulder.
The current process of gaining access to Maunakea requires the observatories to provide pre-arranged notification of all vehicles seeking access. To accomplish this, the people blocking the road will be provided a list of which vehicles are going up and when. This requires the observatories to contact the Office of Maunakea Management, which then contacts law enforcement, who then provides the list to the activists. The observatories are also aware that activists have been keeping a log of who goes up and down.
This arrangement — and the improvements made by the state to address safety concerns and ensure appropriate access for the observatories — constitutes progress. The observatories hope this process will allow them to return to as close to full operations as possible while the Maunakea Access Road remains blocked. However, the state, county and observatories remain committed to reopening the blocked Maunakea Access Road intersection to vehicular traffic so that access will be unimpeded and prior notification and/or approval by the protesters will no longer be necessary.
UPDATE: "The claims that [observatories] have not had access to this mountain are not true," said Lanakila Mangauil at a 2 p.m. press conference held at the base of Mauna Kea, livestreamed by Puʻuhonua o Puʻuhuluhulu.
"They have had access to this mountain for well over a week," Mangauil said. "We first offered an agreement as early as July 16, which they denied."
"We are completely full of aloha, here," Mangauil said, addressing observatory safety concerns. "Part of that agreement is that we have one vehicle a day access, to be able to have Hawaiian practitioners and kanaka maoli access this Mauna. "
"That is still an impediment on the constitutionally protected rights of kanaka maoli for unimpeded access onto our Mauna," Mangauil added.
Hawaiʻi County Mayor Harry Kim is quoted in the observatory announcement. "This is what we have all been collectively working on: protecting the rights of the protectors to demonstrate is our responsibility; protecting the rights of the workers at the observatories to go up the mountain to do their work is our responsibility; and protecting the rights of the public to visit the mountain is our responsibility," said Mayor Harry Kim, County of Hawai'i. "We're very appreciative of the efforts by DOCARE to negotiate with the protectors to regain access. This is a step forward, but still my goal is to open the mountain in protection of the rights of all others."
"The Maunakea Observatories thank the state and county for their statements of support for a continued vibrant astronomy sector in Hawai'i," said Hilton Lewis, director of the W. M. Keck Observatory. "We are deeply committed to our community here on Hawai'i Island and are eager to get back to work at our telescopes as soon as possible, to resume the world-leading astronomy for which Hawaiʻi is renowned."
The news release explained:
The Observatories plan to send regular day crews back to the summit to prepare the telescopes to resume operations. During the prolonged shutdown, some instruments and systems were disabled to protect the health of the technology, so the restart process will vary in complexity from telescope to telescope. The Observatories hope to resume scientific observations as soon as possible.
This four-week suspension has been the longest period of time in the five-decade history of Maunakea astronomy that all telescopes have been simultaneously offline. Observatory employees — technicians, astronomers, instrument scientists and engineers alike — eagerly anticipate a return to the daily work they love. The international community, of which these telescopes are a part, also eagerly awaits the return of their vital partner.
This is a breaking news story and it will be updated.

My favorite time of the year is finally here! Being in Abu Dhabi I'm far from my family and friends and as cliche as it sounds, there is just something about Christmas that brings people together. Personally for me, Christmas is the only time of the year where my family is all together. My brothers live in Miami and my parents in Venezuela so no matter the distance we travel to meet each other every Christmas.
This years I want Chic Flavours to be your source of everything Christmas and holiday inspired. Starting tomorrow I will be sharing my holiday gift guides for the jet setters, for men and women. You can always check our "HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE" menu daily updates on this year's must have items. Our holiday page also has some of favorite holiday dresses for all the upcoming holiday parties, Christmas and New Year's festivities.
If you are looking for a specific gift guide or suggestion please don't hesitate to ask! Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I love sharing my shopping tips with all of you. A few of my main holiday fashion shopping sources are Nordstrom (they have a great variety), Saks, Shopbop, J.Crew and Bloomingdales. I also love visiting Target, Mark and Graham and Waiting on Martha for fun small items.
As Tom and I travel back and forth between Chicago, Miami and Abu Dhabi I know we will be seeing family and friends and attending different Holiday events. In addition to dresses I like to wear skirts which I know I can wear in different ways. This beautiful sequins midi skirt is by far one of my favorite pieces to wear this holiday season. The colored sequins are a perfect pop of color for the gloomy winter weather and I love the affordable price tag.
With a black, white or pastel sweater. Dress up with these velvet heels or classic pumps. This skirt can also be worn with a turtleneck and black tights for the colder months. Dress down with sneakers or booties and a simple graphic tee.
Thank you so much for reading and I hope everyone has a great week ahead. I am currently in Miami finishing some Resort 2017 orders for Soraya Hennessy but will be heading to Palm Spring later this week. I will be spending Thanksgiving with Tom's family…you can follow all my travels on Instagram.

Q: Save docx into mysql I am using the tinybutstrong to generate docx files from a template.
Currently the generated document will be downloaded as file.
The following code is in use:
...
$output_file_name = date('Y_m_d').'CR_Id='.$Id.'.docx';
$TBS->Show(OPENTBS_DOWNLOAD, $output_file_name);
exit();

But I want to have the generated docx saved directly into mysql as file.
I have a table in mysql to upload files.
Is that possible?
If yes, then how should the abouve document look like?
thanks

A: It's generally a bad practice to store binary files in a database.
Nevertheless, it is possible to retrieve the binary result of the OpenTBS directly in PHP instead of save it into a file.
Example:
$TBS->Show(OPENTBS_STRING);
$data = mysql_real_escape_string($TBS->Source);
$sql = "INSERT INTO my_table (bin_data) VALUES ('$data')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

See the documentation for more info

centralized file shares / data back ups.
What I wanted to do but haven't figured it out, is use a distro like ipcop, or openbsd or if there was one specific distro for these tasks but allowed more versatility then something like freeNAS. So I could have a router/data server/torrents.
Or create something like this product called a chili box (http://www.chilisystems.com/index.jsp) except it would encompass all my above info instead of just a single drive for network addressed storage. also a web interface / remote desktop type of interface would be ideal.
What you're describing is much like my central file server. It has some shares that are read-write for everybody, some private read-write, as well as read only ones. In addition, it runs a local web server and a music server. Mine runs Debian. I find it very easy to set up and control remotely, using command line only. The nice thing about command line is that you can use tutorials and just copy/paste the commands.
A note about the RAID drives. Linux will see the drives as individual drives, not as one unit. You can do software raid, but if you have data on there now which is written using the Windows drivers, things will probably get complicated.
Are you planning on keeping W2K3 on the machine and dual boot?
Do you have a lot of data on those RAID'ed drives that you want to transfer to the new setup?
I am not sure I understand your goals correctly but it might be easiest to have a dedicated firewall between your network and the Internet. This way, you can have a dedicated file/print server (running Vector) on your internal network which can handle a variety of networking protocols and services (including ones such as Samba and NFS which are generally not secure enough to expose to the Web).
My current setup has as a firewall an old 133MHz Pentium with 96Mb RAM running IPCOP. I have three network cards in this box: one for Internet, one for wireless access point, and one for my internal network. Isolating the wireless access permits an added layer of protection against intruders gaining access to my network while providing my laptops with Web access. The Pentium has no problem handling traffic loads though 96Mb is not enough to run SNORT without swapping and I only have a 100Mbps ethernet -- if you have 1000Mbps then you should consider a faster machine.
I have a centralized file server (running Slackware on a 200MHz PII) which also serves up some torrents (legal ones (http://www.publicdomaintorrents.com/)) using Rtorrent. I haven't put a printer on it but will probably do so at some point. My workstations' printers are all shared. Since your machine is such a high end unit (at least by my standards), you will want to enable X Window logins from your Linux workstations (and even from your Windows boxes, if you install Cygwin or such).
First off legal torrents??? The only things I thought that fell under there were open source apps and what distros...I didn't realize this applied to media. Cool.
My router which happens to be IPcop, with a few add-ons, just a red and green interface. I also wrote some nice rules in to my rc.local file for QoS, and to lag the heck out of anyone scanning me, plus some rules for stealth. It works great, and requires very little maintenance.
My data server (the win2k3 box) its about half full 500gigs and I have a few drives I could slave in to dump it off temperarely.
When I booted the server in ubuntu back when I was first getting into linux. Ubuntu seen the drive and had it on my desktop looking mounted... When I'd try to open it however it gave me a read error, or no access. I was using 6.10 at the time, so I'm guessing that ntfs read/write tool hadn't been integrated at that point.
For the time being I was just going to try and clean the disks up as there kind of fragmented from the mass deleted that happened a few days ago. And was looking into something to do periodic back-ups to a usb drive, similar to ghost, but not those lame ghost images...I just want plain read able files that mirror entirely what is in the drives I'm watching. Zero redunacy...like ghost just not ghost specific images. My buddy who still works in the industry said to try out Acronis, I got a hacked copy...haven't tried it yet.
If I could accomplish my tasks in linux, believe me, I WOULD LOVE THAT.
As for the reasoning to have an All-in-one central server/gateway, I have wanted that forever, and in the windows world it can't be done...one is a gateway, one is a server, end of story. I noted right away in linux that it could be done, and that why I want to, it frees up a box for experimenting, plus lowers my power consumption, and takes the stress off my ups.
If I wanted to accomplish this with vector could it be done and easily?
If I wanted to accomplish this with debian could it be done and easily?
if I use X windows on the server, what am I using to remote into the machine? vnc? I'm not sure what Cygwin does...I went to the website and it seems unclear.
Another question...with the software in windows I can do upward migration on my raid, in other words, if I want to up my min drive size to 500gig, I can do this by simply adding one drive at a time, allowing the array to rebuild well its still live, and repeat till all the larger drives are migrated in...will this work in linux? If no would a Hardware Raid Card do the job? I found one that isn't too much and says its supported but an outdated linux kernal.
You can use one machine for everything. It can be done using Vector, Debian, Slackware, Ubuntu or whatever. As for the easy part, it wouldn't be for me, but it seems like you already are doing advanced stuff if you are writing custom rules for your firewall.
VNC is good for remote control. Vector has a tightvnc package in the repo.
My concern about the RAID stems from experimenting with it a couple of years ago, using W2K. I set up a four disk RAID 0, expecting to see great performance gains, but I could not perceive any change in the system. Seemed to me that all I achieved was to quadruple my risk of data loss from a disk failure. When booting Linux, the four drives showed up as hde through hdh. Of course, I could not read anything on them, as the data was spread across all of them. Some research revealed that the so-called embedded RAID controller is little more than a glorified IDE/SATA controller, with the CPU and the software driver doing all the work. I think any gain from the striping was offset by the increased CPU load, at least on my setup. I still use it, but only for mirroring, accepting a performance hit in exchange for data protection.
A true hardware RAID controller is a whole different story, but those usually cost about $500 new. These have their own processors that do the striping/mirroring, and present themselves to the OS as a single drive. Most of these should work with current Linux kernels.
Please correct me if I am wrong. A RAID system is not a replacement for a backup and not improves performance, since the same data is written in all the disks. It ensures a working system in disk failure scenarios. If one disk goes down, the others keep doing the job and the clients could never notice it. Looks like a must if you need the data available 24/7 with no exception at all.
Thanks Easuter, that link is very informative. I had no idea about all the possible configurations.
Well theres different levels of RAID, and different types.
RAID 0 - stripping, you get performance boost and faster read/write times, not secure.
RAID 1 - mirroring, This is a viable way to offer back-ups in my opinion as in that you have 2 identical copy's though you only get 50% of your combined drive space.
RAID 5 - uses distributed parity, so you get some speed out of it, you also have a secured data source, in that pending how many drives you have present you can loose a few before you in any danger of data loss, also you get higher percent of drive space utilization then RAID 1.
RAID 10 (or 0+1) - you get both stripping and mirroring. I've never run this one as you do loose drive space. And it seems bulky with out a need.
and here I am just writing out everything like a sucker!
speaking of great cars... my 93 Taurus rocks my socks off.
Last time I checked Linux with my server box as I said it mounted the raid as one drive but couldn't read it. before I get all worked up, I'm going to try the newest version of ubuntu server see if I get a better response...I can't do this for at least a day as a friend needs some repairs done to his box...and I committed to that. Well seeing as I don't sleep much (not since I seen that flash in the sky on my birthday) :P I may get a chance to try it out today to just see if I can read/write the drive.
As far as the distro to make the all in one linux super network box. I was leaning towards Debian as I liked it as a desktop all be it more sloppy, and slow then vector.
I know what your talking about with bit torrent...its just me personally I've never really used it for ... lets say completely kosher uses. Only in the last year have I been using it and not breaking any "rules" if you catch my drift.
Back to the server...The issues that come into play with the switch, are one I'm going into that unknown kind of place, and I'm don't want to compromise the safety of my data (obviously I'll have it backed up off the server prior to attempting anything.
Another problem is I don't know what will happen if I loose a drive in Linux will the array rebuild automatically or with minimal commands?
Would it be worth upgrading to a hardware raid card?
I researched a bit a few months back and found only one sata raid 5 capable expansion card compatable with a 32-bit pci slot. The product is an Intel RAID Controller (http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX3430(ME).aspx) its for a 64-bit slot but says it is backward compatible to a 32-bit slot. Though going from 66Mhz down to 33Mhz may not be too bad as the server isn't really under heavy load, I called the store and asked if anyone had more info than I already knew from my research, I got referred to Intel...which I haven't called yet, as I'm sure they'll give me the brush off as the store did. My buddy has a hardware specialist he uses for his company (not for Linux though) he said he'd inquire as to how much of a performance read/write I'd loose using this kind of card in a lesser slot.
Ok those being the logistical issues.
How could I configure my distro to give me the best bang for my buck but not open it up to external attack? Of the ones I could build this with which do you figure is the most locked down?
Should you wish to combine your server and firewall into one machine, your are going to have to either use IPCOP as your server's base Linux or to write your own firewall and traffic-shaping rules on another distro.
The advantage of the former is the browser-based administration (I am not aware of any packages which add a browser interface access to the configuration and logs, though I have not researched it lately). You would to some degree be limited with regard to the server software you could add (since IPCOP is based on 2.4 kernels); this should not be too much of a problem unless you intend to maintain NTFS partitions. Other than this, you should have little problem installing (or enabling) the necessary server software on your existing IPCOP machine (the GREEN interface should have all ports to the firewall open by default).
Using another distro as a firewall+server would place more of a burden upon you with regard to setting up and ensuring the firewall's integrity. Vector should be a good choice for this approach given the accessibility of its configuration tools from the command line (not to mention its Slackware roots). I have not done anything in this area but foresee no real difficulty if you proceed with caution.
Understood. My personal preference is for a separate firewall and for IPCOP in particular (where's the fun in buying a firewall appliance?). I suspect that my IPCOP Pentium costs me a few dollars a month in electricity but it cost me nothing so I equate that to a couple of year's worth of usage. I have been considering purchasing Mini ITX (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813185103) and installing IPCOP on it; which would lower power costs to a near insignificant amount while still providing the advantages of a dedicated firewall.
If you are using X on your system, access from another machine on your internal network is as simple as changing the server IP when starting X (the details are dependent upon how you invoke your Xserver). The X Window System is inherently network transparent; i.e., it does not matter if your keyboard and display are on a different machine than the programs you are executing. This is effectively the same as having a KVM switch and being able to change machines by using the CTL-ALT-Fn keys -- with the advantage that the machines can be located anywhere and still be logged onto locally (my apologies if I am stating the obvious here).
If by "remote" access you mean running X across the Internet (e.g., connecting from work), even this is doable; but you should ensure authentication and encrypt your data (IPCOP's VPN/DMZ/Pinhole access permit this). I am not familiar with the VNC software but suspect it is basically a wrapper for this combined VPN/X11 functionality.
Cygwin is one way to provide your Windows system with X11 capabilities -- it turns your Windows machine into an X11 "dumb terminal". It is a rather bloated way of accomplishing this (it provides other capabilities as well) and there are likely better approaches currently available (I have not worked with Windows extensively in years).
I recall a co-worker using something that he just installed...he was using linux I can't recall what distro, I believe the tool was called webmin...its still around. http://www.webmin.com/ (http://www.webmin.com/) I have had an ipcop box around since late 2003, I just really love the idea of a fully functional all-in-one network appliance. I think I'm most into it as it something unique to linux when in comparison to mac's or windows.
I would prefer have a locked down modified kernel...I haven't edited the kernel and I may need to add drivers as the nic's I use in all my desktops are dlink DGE-530T (the transfer speeds is double over other gigabit nic's with out any tweaking. Last time I loaded my ipcop (when I upsized the machine it was using) I tried ti included one of these nic's on the green side, and it didn't have a driver for it.

I have been considering purchasing Mini ITX and installing IPCOP on it; which would lower power costs to a near insignificant amount while still providing the advantages of a dedicated firewall.
I think the reason power is a concern to me...is I live in alberta, and for some reason were getting jacked on power costs...something sick like 11.0/kwh I work as an electrician, and I helped build an new power generator, 45 Megawatt gas powered one...basically a massive jet engine...and they have plans to build two more in the same area...and I'm like its just going to keep going higher...so what ever power I can save I'd like to attempt it. maybe trying a mini ITX for the ipcop might be a better idea, do that, and then just leave it as is.
To isolate one: VNC. It works much like rdesktop, and it is not OS dependent. Windows to Linux or the other way around all works the same. It will also run in a browser java applet, that's how I connect back to my server to get around those "websense" filters. It is easy to set up and use, and works very well.
RAID: Most controllers have their own internal software for re-building an array after a drive failure. You can access it on boot before the operating system loads.
What is your reasoning for wanting a RAID setup?
Mirroring does not totally protect your data. In case of some mishap (like if you accidentally files ;) ), it is gone from both copies at once. That's where the suggestion of having another drive that gets synced like once a day comes in. If you go "oops", you can always "step back" to the point of last sync operation. This is easily done using a simple script that is called from crontab.

UK Prison Drugs Strategy Unveiled
The UK Ministry of Justice has unveiled a strategy setting out the full extent of the government's efforts to tackle drugs in prisons.
The Prison Drugs Strategy outlines the co-ordinated response needed to deal with the scourge of drugs which are fuelling record levels of violence.
It is centred around 3 objectives – restricting supply, reducing demand and building recovery. The overall aim is to reduce drug misuse in prisons, thereby better protecting staff and prisoners and creating conditions for offenders to turn their lives around.
The publication of the strategy follows the investment of an additional £70 million over the past year in prison safety, security and decency. This includes a number of measures to tackle drug supply, such as security scanners, improved searching techniques, phone-blocking technology and a financial crime unit to target the criminal kingpins operating in prisons.
Prisons Minister Rory Stewart said: "The threat drugs pose to the safety of prisons has never been greater and it requires a wide-ranging response.The Prison Drugs Strategy sets a clear direction for all those involved in reducing the impact of drugs in our jails.The potential benefits of this are huge, not only in the form of improved safety for officers and prisoners, but also in reduced re-offending and greater public safety."
The strategy has been developed by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), working with other partners across government.
The central elements of the strategy are:
Restricting the supply of drugs by improving security, building intelligence, and targeting the criminal networks which aim to bring drugs into prison.
Reducing the demand for drugs in prison by developing more meaningful regimes, providing more constructive ways for prisoners to spend their time and ensuring the balance of incentives encourages prisoners to make the right choices.
Working closely with health and justice partners to build recovery for prisoners who want to overcome their substance misuse, providing prisoners who are serious about living substance free with the environment to do so successfully.
The document will be used by prisons to help inform their own local drugs strategies, which are due to be completed across the estate by September this year.
One example of effective partnership work is the Drug Recovery Prison pilot at HMP Holme House, where the MOJ is working with the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England to test and evaluate innovative approaches to tackling drugs and helping prisoners improve their chances of recovery.

How Indiana's testing capacity could affect Holcomb's plan to reopen the state
Tony Cook
Gov. Eric Holcomb's plans to begin a phased reopening of the state hinges on boosting the amount of testing across the state.
The question is: Can the state increase testing at a pace that also matches increased business and social activity?
During a new conference Friday, Holcomb identified the ability to test all Hoosiers who have COVID-19 symptoms as one of four "guiding principals" to his plan to begin loosening restrictions.
"Hoosier employers, employees and consumers can have confidence: Anyone concerned they may be sick due to their symptoms or having been in contact with someone who is will have the ability to get tested," Holcomb said.
So far, that hasn't been the case in Indiana.
Like many states, Indiana has struggled to increase testing amid a shortage of supplies such as swabs, reagent and personal protective equipment for healthcare workers administering the tests.
Experts say increased testing is critical to easing social distancing and business restrictions. Without enough tests, it won't be clear which parts of the state are safe to reopen and public health officials won't be able to catch the re-emergence of the virus before it spreads uncontrollably.
In Indiana, daily testing has peaked at 3,963 on April 20, far short of what experts say is needed to safely reopen the state.
State Health Commissioner Kristina Box has previously said she would like to see 6,300 tests a day and researchers at the Harvard Global Health Institute have said the state would need almost 7,000 tests a day to be prepared to reopen.
Holcomb's promise that Hoosiers will be able to get the tests they need relies heavily on a new $17 million deal with private contractor OptumServe. State officials announced Tuesday that the company will add 20 new testing sites at National Guard armories across the state and a total of 50 new sites by the following week, allowing as many as 6,600 Hoosiers to be tested daily.
That would represent a major turning point for the state.
Indiana initially lagged its neighbors in testing, which until a couple weeks ago was limited to those at greater risk. The state has made some progress since then with the help of private labs and Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly & Co. Now expanded testing is recommended for anyone with symptoms, regardless of risk factors such as age or underlying medical conditions.
Holcomb said Friday he is forging ahead with reopening plans in a "measured way." The plan would open the state in five stages, with the goal of getting back to something close to normal by the Fourth of July.
As soon as Monday, portions of the state outside of Marion and Lake counties can begin what Holcomb has described as Stage 2, which includes lifting essential travel restrictions, allowing gatherings with 25 people or less, and allowing most commercial and retail establishments to open at 50% capacity.
Holcomb has warned that if hospitalizations jump and testing can't keep up, the planned rollback of restrictions could be halted or even reversed. But for now, he's betting the state's testing capacity will keep pace with a gradual reopening.
The contract with OptumServe is in addition to several smaller testing initiatives state and city officials have announced in recent days.
On Wednesday, Box announced that Kroger would launch free drive-thru testing in Fort Wayne and Marion County. And last week, Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett announced plans for three new testing centers as part of the city's effort to address the disproportionate impact the virus is having on African Americans.
The state has also started to lay the groundwork to increase contract tracing of infected people, which Holcomb identified as another of his four guiding principals for reopening the state.
Health officials announced Wednesday a $43 million a year contract with private company Maximus, which will hire about 500 people to staff a call center that will reach out to people who have tested positive, interview them in-depth, and notify their close contacts so they will quarantine for two weeks. Those close contacts will then receive daily texts, monitoring them for symptoms.
"An important requirement for us to be able to open back up in our state is we must be able to test individuals quickly and isolate them if they are positive," Box said during the announcement earlier in the week. "This is the way we can stop the spread."
The National Association of County and City Health Officials recommends that states hire 30 contact tracers for every 100,000 people. For a state the size of Indiana, that number is more than 2,000 contact tracers.
Box has said the state doesn't want to over-hire at first. "As we start out, we believe this is the number we need," she said. "But if we need more, we will definitely be getting more."

TEHRAN, Apr. 16 (MNA) – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif met and held talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus today.
During the meeting, the two sides conferred over the Astana-format Syrian settlement talks and the bilateral agreements signed during Assad's visit to Iran in February.
Heading a high-ranking diplomatic delegation, Zarif arrived in Damascus earlier on Tuesday, at the invitation of the Syrian president.
Upon his arrival at the Syrian capital, Zarif said the one-day trip mostly aims at discussing with Syrian officials the US unlawful and hostile moves against Iran and Syria.
Zarif noted Trump's unlawful recognition of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli regime's territory, his recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as the regime's capital, and the US' "unprecedented, illegal and extremely stupid" move to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization are the topics of discussion with the Syrian officials.
The top diplomat is also scheduled to hold talks Prime Minister Imad Khamis and Foreign Minister Walid Muallem.


Background Despite modern pharmacotherapy, heart failure remains a major medical burden. The heart has a limited regenerative capacity, and bolstering regeneration might represent new therapeutic approaches for heart failure patients. Various progenitor cells in the heart have been proposed to have cardiomyogenic properties, but this evidence is based mostly on cell culture and transplantation studies. One population of interest is characterized by the expression of Stem Cell Antigen-1 (Sca-1). Here we tested the hypothesis that Sca-1+ cells are endogenous progenitors for cardiomyocytes in the adult heart.
Methods We evaluated the innate cardiogenic potential of Sca-1+ cells in vivo by generating a novel mouse model to genetically lineage-trace the fate of Sca-1 expressing cells. This was accomplished by introducing a tamoxifen-inducible Cre-recombinase into the Sca-1 locus (Sca-1mCm/+). Crossing this mouse line to a Cre-dependent tdTomato reporter line allowed for genetic lineage-tracing of endogenous Sca-1+ cells (Sca-1mCmR26tdTomato). The frequency of Sca-1+ cardiomyocytes was quantified from dispersed cell preparations and confirmed by in situ histology.
Results We validated the genetic lineage tracing mouse model in bone marrow and heart. Unlike previous publications suggesting significant cardiogenic potential, we found that less than 0.02% of cardiomyocytes per year were derived from Sca-1+ cells in the adult heart under homeostatic conditions. At six months after myocardial infarction, we found less than 0.01% of cardiomyocytes were derived from Sca-1+ cells.
Conclusion Our results show that Sca-1+ cells in the adult heart have minimal cardiogenic potential under homeostatic conditions or in response to myocardial infarction.


This recipe was passed to my wife by a work colleague many years ago. It is a trusted favourite. It's lovely and moist. Although it's a bit fiddly to make it is worth the effort. It can also be frozen. I tend to freeze part of it and the remainder gets eaten pretty quickly!
Preheat oven to Gas 4, 180ºC.
Grease & line a 12" square lipped baking tray, or equivalent.
Mix together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon & salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl beat the eggs. Add the oil, buttermilk, sugar & vanilla essence & mix well. Add the flour mixture together with the pineapple, carrots, coconut & walnuts. Sir well.
Pour the mixture into the baking tray. Bake for 45 minutes or until cooked. Cool completely on a wire tray.
Blend the butter, milk, vanilla essence & icing sugar together until thick & creamy. Spread the mixture over the top of the cake.
BUTTERMILK - Add 1 cup of milk to 2 teaspoons of lemon juice & whisk. You will use three quarters of a cup of this mixture for this recipe.
This is quite a large cake & therefore you may wish to cut a section off for freezing.

The Kojiki Creation Story relates the activities of Izanagi and Izanami, a god and goddess who created the Japanese islands out of chaos, a state of disorder or formlessness. Shintoism recognizes both a male and a female principle, or element, in creation. In contrast this is to religions such as Christianity and Judaism, which see creation as the work of a male god alone. However, the story notes that because Izanami spoke ahead of her husband at their wedding ceremony, the ceremony had to be repeated so that the male god was given priority over the female goddess. Obviously, male prominence is an important feature of historic Japanese culture and can still be found in the twenty-first century. Japan islands were seen as the god and goddess's children. So, too, were the kami, specially the spirits that ruled the islands. The two gods later produced additional gods, including Kagutsuchi, the fire god. The creation story goes on to recount Izanami's death and Izanagi's pursuit of her to the underworld, or the Nether Regions.
The Kojiki Creation Story encompasses a number of elements that are significant to Japanese culture. The main is the concept of the "world." While people who practice Shinto can be found worldwide, Shintoism is truly a Japanese religion. It differs in this way from religions such as Christianity, which is not identified with any particular culture or country. To understand why Shintoism is so exceptionally Japanese, it is necessary to understand the history of the Kojiki's composition.
The Kojiki Creation Story, though strange to modern readers, speaks of several truths. Firstly, the story speaks with affection about the Japanese homeland. Much of Japanese history is marked by a special affinity toward the land. Many times throughout Japanese history there were movements to restore the forests and other habitats. If all has a spirit or god behind it, people tend to hold a respectful, reverent view of the environment and how it supports their lives. This myth suggests how we should retain our respect for the world around us and its resources. Doing otherwise disrespects the divine and jeopardizes our ability to live.
The myth about the gods' births sets the stage for several reoccurring themes in Japanese literature and culture. Harmony is emphasized. Japanese culture puts the quest for harmony between people and between people and nature in the center. The people's honorific system grew out of this. The myth shows how the decay of harmony and the reality of sorrow can lead to unintended consequences. Izanagi, in his grief, kills his son, creating more sons and daughters in the process–much to his surprise.
The Kojiki Creation Story lays out a thread found throughout Japanese literature. The harmonious blissful life Izanagi and Izanami shared could not last. The tragic death of Izanami presents sorrow to what was a happy story. Japanese literature enjoys balancing happiness with sorrow. The story is completed by tragedy. Happiness cannot be understood without sorrow. Only few stories end "happily ever after" but this reveals a clear-eyed view of reality.
Buddhism has a somewhat similar thread. Buddhism stories center on how suffering permeates People's experiences. This overlap helped Shinto (which is what these creation stories originate from) and Buddhism intermingle. Whenever one reads Japanese literature, he will see this interweaving of religions.

Fighting Continues Near Basra
Aired March 31, 2003 - 03:47 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: We're going to check in near Basra. We're going to do that with a British reporter, Andrew Harding. He is embedded with British troops just outside the city and he joins us live now.
Andrew, hello.
ANDREW HARDING, BRITISH POOL REPORTER: Hi, Daryn.
This morning the British Royal Marines are back in action trying to finish off the job that they began yesterday morning, this "Operation James" that we've been hearing about. That is going on right at this moment. We understand the commandos trying to take out a couple of last pockets of Iraqi resistance that were causing trouble yesterday. Helicopters and tanks and artillery, once again, in action.
We understand as well that British forces, British patrols are already on the streets of Abu al-Qassib. This is the suburb basically of Basra that was overrun yesterday by British forces. We don't believe that humanitarian aid has yet been brought in in any large amount because there are still Iraqi forces. And presumably the commandos want to carry on fighting before they start the job of looking after the civilian population there.
KAGAN: Andrew, can you tell us more about "Operation James?" We've reported that this is named after James Bond, the fictional spy character, but why make that connection?
HARDING: Daryn, the map (UNINTELLIGIBLE) here are littered with new names, new code words every day, and presumably somebody just came up with the idea of calling it after Bond movies. So you have Pussy Galore, you have all sorts of other links. You have Sean Connery and so on, names that are linked to the Bond movies. Presumably tomorrow, they'll think of something else to name their targets and their regions after.
KAGAN: All right. The British whit well known making its way into the headlines even during such a dire and difficult situation.
Andrew Harding, near Basra, thank you. We'll be checking back with you.

US-led forces alleged involved in Pakistan attackAt least 15 people, including women and children, were killed in an attack involving U.S.-led forces in a remote Pakistani village near the border with Afghanistan, intelligence officials and a witness said Wednesday.
The U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan said it had no report of such an incursion, said to have happened in the militant-infested South Waziristan tribal region. Pakistan's army confirmed an attack but did not specify if it believed foreign troops were involved.

There's nothing like encountering a grizzly bear catching his salmon breakfast to remind you just how wild Canada's west really is.
A select group of Australian product managers recently got up close and personal with one of the world's most impressive predators when they ventured beyond Canada's iconic west-coast attractions on an 11-night tour of British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.
Boarding a floatplane in Port Hardy, at the tip of Vancouver Island, the group flew over Queen Charlotte Strait to Great Bear Lodge, a celebrated retreat surrounded by a rainforest that is home to grey wolves, otters, mink and bald eagles. As well as daily treks along rivers and estuaries to watch the bears chasing salmon, the Australians enjoyed interpretive rainforest walks and boat excursions to explore the glacier-carved inlet.
The three-night stay in Great Bear Lodge was just one of the unforgettable experiences enjoyed by the group, which also flew from Vancouver to the Northwest Territories' capital Yellowknife to view the dazzling Northern Lights, cycle through the snow on fat bikes, fish for northern pike and hike to beautiful Cameron Falls.
Destination Canada's Nathan McLoughlin says the aim was to showcase just some of the unique but less well-known experiences Canada offers Australian travellers.
The group flew as guests of Air Canada, and explored Canada as guests of Destination Canada, Destination British Columbia, Northwest Territories Tourism, Tourism Vancouver and Tourism Vancouver Island.

Gamemania: What Makes A Virtual Existence So Seductive?
While much has been written and said about consumer addiction to digital technology in the media, little academic research has actually been conducted on post-purchase technology consumption and its negative impact on consumer welfare. This dissertation takes an important step in this direction by examining the technology believed to have the highest addiction potential - online video games. Massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs), such as World of Warcraft, have been described by users and popular press as "heroinware" and "maddeningly addictive." This study investigates the drivers behind the consumer abuse of gaming technologies, the root causes of their gaming addiction with respect to the user as well as the specific technology characteristics in the context of MMORPGs. It is hypothesized that the pleasure of control, the perceived fluidity of identity in the online environment, as well as certain gamer motivations (achievement, social, escape) are the main causes of gamemania. However, whether excessive gaming becomes addiction also depends upon the consumers' self-regulation mechanisms. Most of the hypotheses were supported except for those related to pleasure of control. Somewhat unexpected, the relationship between amount of gaming and gaming addiction propensity was found to be very weak. Moreover, an interesting finding was the negative effect of a social motivation on dysfunctional gaming.

Strategies for ensuring the on-going integrity of the product (particularly if the product is manufactured in an overseas market).
Inspecting & verifying supply lines and factories.
We are committed to assisting product suppliers to deliver better consumer solutions, ensuring that they go to market with products that can be manufactured and used safely. Our product safety assessment processes are tailor made to individual client requirements and focus on ensuring that the product can enter the market as quickly and as safely as possible.
Safetysure assisted an American manufacturer of large industrial machinery to understand the applicable standards and regulations that may affect their product entering the Australian market. We completed a product safety assessment incorporating comprehensive research on the product and the Australian and International standards applying to the product. In co-operation with the product engineering team, we completed a gap analysis of non-compliance issues and potential safety implications for the product in the Australian market. The supplier successfully completed recommended variations to the product and have since sold several units to the Australian market.
An Australian importer of products had been subject to litigation by regulatory authorities and insurers for compliance issues associated with their product in the Australian market. Safetysure assisted the importer to identify product safety deficiencies, established a range of test methods, worked with testing centres on product certification and assisted legal counsel. Through a structured commitment to ongoing product safety systems, we also assisted the company mitigate the penalties involved. Following the litigation issue, we worked with the client to establish product safety procedures around the importing and pre-testing of goods entering the Australian market.
Safetysure worked with a global supplier of personal protective equipment to identify applicable product safety compliance standards for supply to a range of south east Asian countries including Australia, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Pacific Islands and New Zealand. We recruited and managed a team of in-country based project product safety consultants to meet tight deadlines for the supplier to enter the respective markets. Additionally, we assisted the supplier's legal team in drafting applicable disclosure requirements for the respective countries. The supplier now successfully imports product into all of these markets.
An Australian industrial product importer engaged Safetysure to complete a range of product safety risk assessments for supply of a product to the Australian and New Zealand market. Through the conduct of the process we identified potential quality and safety issues with the supplier in mainland China. Together with our China based agent we completed an assessment of production facilities and raw material supply chains to ensure the integrity of the product supplied to the Australian market.

Q: How to calculate sample size for a one-sided test on a rxs contigency table I work quite often with Google's Website Optimizer, essentially it allows you to make small changes to a site to determine if they have an effect on the ratio of clicks to a web page to sales.  The stats look like this:
Combination 1: 500 clicks  10 sales
Combination 2: 498 clicks  11 sales
Combination 3: 503 clicks  15 sales

Now obviously that part makes sense to me, but then it gives a value called "Probability of being better" which is based (among other factors) on the sample size (see also this question).  So if a particular experiment has less data it would rate it as having a 13% chance at being better where as at a larger dataset it would have a 90% chance at being correct.
Obviously a smaller sample size would be more prone to swings in variance but  I'm curious to know if there's a formula to determine when enough data would have been collected so that a high probability of being better can be calculated (which seems to be equivalent to a small overlapping of the corresponding confidence intervals and hence a high probability of rejecting the Null-Hypothesis).

A: What you are looking for is called "Determination of minimum sample size" for a particular test which is an application of statistical power analysis.
In your special cases one anaylses a rxs contigency table. However, I can only provide some details to the 2x2 case, which can be extended to the multiple test case using e.g. the so called Bonferroni correction (details below). One test which can be performed here is a so called chi2-test, e.g. Fisher's exact test.
Let's say:

*

*conversion_rate =$\frac{sales}{clicks}$

*$p_i$ conversion-rate of Combination i

*$n_i$ sample size for Combination i (aka the number of clicks)

Now what you want to calculate is: What is the minimum sample required sample size $n_i$ and $n_j$ so that my preferred statistical test with significance level $\alpha$ detects the difference $p_i-p_j$ with probability $1-\beta$, where ...

*

*$\alpha$ denotes the probability that one rejects the Null-Hypothesis although it is true (i.e. calls a difference significant which is not)

*$\beta$ denotes the probability that one does not reject the Null-Hypothesis although it is false (i.e. fails to identify a significant difference).

One formula for the case of Fisher's exact test is from Casagrande et al. which is (according to my reference):
$n_i:=n_j:=\frac{A(1+\sqrt{1+4\delta/A})^2}{4\delta^2}$
where
$A=\left(u_{1-\alpha}\sqrt{2\frac{p_i+p_j}{2}(1-\frac{p_i+p_j}{2})}-u_{\beta}\sqrt{p_i(1-p_i)+p_j(1-p_j)}\right)^2$ and  $\delta=p_i-p_j$
where
$u_{\alpha}$ is the quantile of the standard normal distribution for the probability $\alpha$
As you have seen above, $n_i$ is set equivalent to $n_j$ here. But since you are performing an ABC-Test, this should not be a problem because the sample sizes for all combinations are roughly the same.
The Bonferroni correction:
Since you have three combinations, you have to perform at least 3 tests (1 against 2, 2 against 3, 1 against 3), so the $\alpha$ value you should use here is:
$\alpha_{corrected}$=your-desired-alpha/3 (same for $\beta$).
Now let's perform an exemplary calculation:
Let's say you want to detect at least a difference reflecting a 10% increase (assuming that a lesser difference, although significant, would not be of interest (e.g. because of cost effectiveness)).
So we got:

*

*$p_1=\frac{10}{500}$

*$p_2=\frac{10}{500}*1.1$ (which is roughly equivalent to the "true" $p_2=\frac{11}{498}$)

*$p_3=\frac{15}{503}>p_2*1.1$

*let's say $\alpha=0.05$ => $\alpha_{corrected}=0.05/3\approx 0.0167$

*let's say $\beta=0.2$ => $\beta_{corrected}=0.2/3\approx 0.0667$

Hence:

*

*$n_{p_1vsp_2}=136382.6$

*$n_{p_1vsp_3}=6425.552$

*$n_{p_2vsp_3}=10608.72$

You see that the main influence on the outcome is the difference between the ps, which is squared in the formula (see $\delta$ above). One can show greater differences faster (i.e. with a smaller sample). So if you want to e.g. show in an AB-Test that Combination3 is better than Combination1 (assuming that the measured conversion-rates are the actual true ones), one can do this with a sample size of 4481.86 (calculated without any $\alpha$ or $\beta$-correction). A week, if you create $\frac{4481.86*2}{7}\approx 1281$ clicks per day.
Final Note: This so called "probability of being better" is assumedly calculated using a bayesian approach (I started a discussion about that here). I would not make a decision based on that number if it is not close enough to 0 or 1 (i.e. 0.95). One can also calculate the sample size bayesian style, but I am not done with it yet (I am also struggling with interpretation of GWO - results).

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO – St. Margaret's earned its first football win over a CIF-SS Division 4 opponent on Friday by beating La Mirada 30-22 at St. Margaret's School.
The Tartans, who are in Division 6, have a student body of 470 and still compete against much larger schools with great success. St. Margaret's (2-1) had nine players who played two ways Friday, and only played 20 in the game.
"That was a great football team with great talent and great coaching," St. Margaret's coach Kory Minor said of La Mirada. "That's why we condition and work so hard. We know it's going to come to the fourth quarter and we gotta go both ways. That's St. Margaret's makeup and that will never change."
Will Kenner had 178 yards on 10 catches, including a 64-yd touchdown in St. Margaret's 30-22 win over La Mirada. @ocvarsity @SMESAthletics @SouthOCsports pic.twitter.com/Fzwmt4UgIz

The game started in one of the worst ways imaginable for the Tartans. On the second play from scrimmage, the Tartans fumbled a hand-off and the ball was recovered by La Mirada deep in St. Margaret's territory. Shortly after, Thaddeus Dixon ran for a 24-yard touchdown to give La Mirada a 7-0 lead.
Late in the first quarter, Tartans quarterback Jake Carreon had to exit the game after his helmet came off during a sack. On the ensuing play, Cooper Barkate was the wildcat quarterback and ran for a 28-yard touchdown to tie the game at seven.
Barkate scored his second touchdown of the game six seconds before halftime on a 1-yard pass from Carreon to put the Tartans ahead 14-7.
After a defensive stalemate for much of the third quarter, Cameron Shirangi made a 44-yard field goal to extend the Tartans' lead to 10.
La Mirada (2-1), ranked No. 10 this week in Division 4, only had 4 yards passing in the first half. Late in the third quarter, Alex Flores threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Makai Lemon to cut the St. Margaret's lead to three.
Two potential game-changing plays occurred with nine minutes remaining in the game. Lemon blocked a St. Margaret's punt and the Matadores recovered the ball at the Tartans' 14.
After the St. Margaret's defense forced a game-tying field goal attempt, Nick Ostlund went through the middle of the La Mirada line and blocked the field goal to protect their three-point lead.
WIth just under six minutes remaining in the game, Carreon threw a short pass to Will Kenner who evaded a tackle and ran 64 yards for a touchdown to extend the St. Margaret's lead to 10.
Kenner had 178 yards on 10 catches. Carreon had a heavy workload for the Tartans, completing 18 of 41 passes for 224 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
The Tartans secured the victory when Sean Sullivan intercepted a La Mirada pass and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown that put St. Margaret's ahead 30-14.
La Mirada made the game interesting late in the fourth quarter. Dixon scored on a 2-yard run and converted a two-point attempt to cut the lead to eight. The Matadores recovered an onside kick, but the St. Margaret's defense forced a turnover on downs to end the game.
"We got 45 guys out here at a small school, that is what it is," Minor said. "Don't count us out. We are sleeping giants."
St. Margaret's has a bye week and then plays at El Toro on Sept. 20.

Today is our last post in this beautiful collection of thoughts on what makes the mundane holy. I can't think of a better way to end our journey than to hear from Annie Barnett, my friend the writer and artist.
I am an artist, and I see all life through this lens. All our days, we are making art: creating, with our hands, our words, our silence and our lives. We make oatmeal for breakfast and love letters to slip into lunch boxes. We write on each others' lives in delicate strokes of compassion and jagged lines of judgement. We create bridges, cultivate community, fashion idols.
We were made and we are making, always. Imago Dei.
Some artists, they dream of a small studio: exposed brick walls and a view of the river in four equally glorious seasons, a glass of wine and hours of uninterrupted painting. I imagine it's quiet there.
I set up shop at the Lego-littered dining room table, right in the center of our daily commotion. The mammoth buffet behind me, the one we scored through Craigslist, holds drawers jammed full of old paint and blocks of cold press paper, not the fine china and cloth napkins it was intended for. I pull out watercolors that belonged to my sister and open wide the window-coverings, let all the light in.
This is where I create, right here in the midst of our messy lives. Some days the girls climb up to join me, inevitably spilling little glass bowls of water onto their Crayola masterpieces. On these days, I celebrate that I'm a creative woman raising creative kids. But more often, I sacrifice sleep to paint, occasionally let the kids take in too many episodes of Shaun the Sheep while I linger long over hand-lettered watercolor words, me ignoring dishes and dust-bunnies.
It seems fitting to make art in the midst of life. After all, it's the living that's making art out of me.
Years ago, I heard someone speak of creation ex nihilo, how God made something out of nothing. It was suggested that before "In the beginning" there was just glory echo-echo-echoing between Father, Son and Spirit, as if "Let there be light" was birthed wild, right out of that sacred reverberation.
As the Creator's making sprung from the very heart of his Eternal being – all holy, holy, holy – so our small creating reflects our being. Inside this heart there are echoes of glory, mixed and muddied by a fair share of muck and mire. I paint in the middle of the mess, and it is the taut tension of brokenness and beauty that leaks from my brush.
Colors bleed when words fail to form. I paint a nest when I cannot find words to say how desperately I long for my life to be a song of abiding: it's an image I need daily. Spring paintings of life unhatched express heart longings I cannot yet stuff into syllables. Simple shapes and lines capture the complicated loss of a sister, the goodness of being small and loved, the savoring of this short-lived season when my children hunger to be held just a little longer. I paint an acorn, a feather ripped in two, a fragile world wrapped in good tidings; hang them on the fridge and over the radiator to call me back home.
When I paint, I feel small in the best sort of way: now I am the child dragging a chair close to her mother to paint alongside, clumsily dashing water dish and cheap paint. These days, I cannot sort out whether the picture pinned on the fridge or the deep impression of being near and making together is the real art.
Even in the making, I am being made. Imago Dei.
I'd love to hear, where are the places you feel God's pleasure (that's right, hum that Chariots of Fire theme)? What are the beautiful, broken ways you bear God's image?
