Q: Python Click Error from help string associated with an option I am trying to learn how to use Python-click.  I was not able to use a help parameter with one of my options so I finally gave up and changed the code to not include help for that option.  However, despite closing and restarting Python and now rebooting my computer the error message associated with trying to use the help parameter is still appearing.
Code:
import click

def something():
    pass

@click.command()
@click.argument('dest_dir',type=click.Path(exists=True, readable=True,
                resolve_path=True, dir_okay=True),
                help='Location of directory where results will be saved')
@click.option('--use_terms', is_flag=True,
              help='Process strings based on terms or phrases')
@click.option('--use_query', is_flag=True, help='Process string based on
               search query')
@click.option('--search_phrase', '-s', multiple=True)

def do_process(dest_dir,use_terms,use_query,*search_phrase):
""" testing setting parameters for snip tables"""
    outref = open('e:\\myTemp\\testq.txt')
    ms = dest_dir + '\n'
    if use_terms:
        ms += use_term + '\n'
    else:
        ms += use_query + '\n'
    for each in search_phrase:
        x = something()
        ms += each + '\n'
    outref.writelines(ms)
    outref.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    do_process()

Originally for the last @click.option I had
@click.option('--search_phrase', '-s', multiple=True, help='The search phrase to use')

I kept getting an error message that I could not solve relating to having an unknown parameter help.  I ditched it, changed to what is above and now I am getting a similar error,
I then shut down Python, I closed my module and then restarted Python opened and ran my code again and still getting this error message
Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Program Files\PYTHON\snipTables\test_snip_click.py", line 14, in <module>
@click.option('--search_phrase', '-s', multiple=True)
File "C:\Program Files\PYTHON\lib\site-packages\click\decorators.py", line 148, in decorator
_param_memo(f, ArgumentClass(param_decls, **attrs))
 File "C:\Program Files\PYTHON\lib\site-packages\click\core.py", line 1618, in __init__
Parameter.__init__(self, param_decls, required=required, **attrs)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'help'

So then I shut down Python Idle, I saved and closed my code and then restarted Python, reopened my code, but I am still getting the same traceback except notice that the traceback has the line of code I switched to after beating my head hard against the monitor and giving up
I am getting ready to reboot but am really curious as to the cause.
I rebooted and still am getting the same error
Renaming the file and running again did not change outcome - same traceback

A: The problem is that click does not accept a help string with an argument parameter.  It is interesting behavior.  The help string associated with the argument will be the string in the function that processes the argument and options.
The error message will always show up associated with the last option.  So the correct code for this example would be
import click

def something():
    pass

@click.command()
@click.argument('dest_dir',type=click.Path(exists=True, readable=True,
                resolve_path=True, dir_okay=True)
##Notice no help string here

@click.option('--use_terms', is_flag=True,
              help='Process strings based on terms or phrases')
@click.option('--use_query', is_flag=True, help='Process string based on
               search query')
@click.option('--search_phrase', '-s', multiple=True)

def do_process(dest_dir,use_terms,use_query,*search_phrase):
""" testing setting parameters for snip tables"""
    outref = open('e:\\myTemp\\testq.txt')
    ms = dest_dir + '\n'
    if use_terms:
        ms += use_term + '\n'
    else:
        ms += use_query + '\n'
    for each in search_phrase:
        x = something()
        ms += each + '\n'
    outref.writelines(ms)
    outref.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    do_process()

This runs fine  the problem I was originally having is that click was not doing a good job of explaining the source of the error.  Above, even though I got rid of the help string in the option the click parser associates the help string from the argument with the last option it parses.

A: Maybe you renamed the source file and you are running an old version that was compiled with the previous name?
try deleting *.pyc  files

[Update: Note9] Samsung's 'Night' photo mode finally coming to the US
2019/08/02 11:35am PDT Aug 2, 2019
Update 1: 2019/07/02 10:25am PDT
The Verizon version of the S10+ is also getting Night mode in this update according to some user reports. The build numbers were the same, but the changelog published
Update 2: 2019/07/30 3:34am PDT
The June security patch, which includes Night mode in the camera, is now rolling out to S10 and S10+ users on Sprint. Expect a ~500MB download.
The Note9 in the US is also getting its own taste of night mode. Previously available for some versions of the device available in other countries, we have a
Samsung's new "Night" photo setting is rumored to finally compete with Google's excellent Night Sight, but there's just one hitch: When the feature first rolled out, it was limited to Exynos-powered Galaxy S10s, which aren't available in the US. However, the folks at XDA Developers have spotted the feature as live on the most recent AT&T and Verizon update for the Galaxy S10+.
At launch, the Galaxy S10 series had something called "Bright Night," which was originally pegged to be a competitor to Google's Night Sight, but it didn't deliver on those hopes. Bright Night was just an automatic mode the camera would enter into via the existing Scene Optimizer to slightly improve extreme low-light results. Although it did use a similar feature to stack multiple exposures, it didn't have Google's AI chops or results. (You can read more about Bright Night over at SamMobile.)
The new dedicated "Night" camera mode allegedly does much better.
Photo showing the new "Night" mode on the S10+, Image via XDA and the SamCentral Discord server.
We haven't had a chance to play with the new Night feature ourselves — none of us at Android Police has either the AT&T, Verizon, or Exynos-powered versions of the phone, and expect a comparison to Google's Night Sight once we do have access — but examples provided at other venues show definite improvements:
This video compares the Exynos version's performance in and outside Night Mode, but results on the US Snapdragon models should be similar.
The update which delivers this new functionality (build G975USQU2ASF6) is exclusive to the AT&T and Verizon versions of the Galaxy S10+ for now. It also brings the phone up to the June security patch level and adds a new quick settings tile for a QR reader. The same June patch update for other carriers sadly doesn't appear to include the feature.
AT&T and Verizon's update should be rolling out as we speak to owners of that carrier's branded version of the Galaxy S10+. The impatient or intrepid can also try their hand sideloading the OTA file itself.
Update 1: 2019/07/02 10:25am PDT by Ryne Hager
The Verizon version of the S10+ is also getting Night mode in this update according to some user reports. The build numbers were the same, but the changelog published by Verizon made no mention of the feature, so we weren't sure if it would also be receiving it. Our coverage has been updated to express that both carrier's phones will be getting Night mode.
The T-Mobile version of the S10+ is getting a different version for the June security patches, and we can verify that it is not present there.
Update 2: 2019/07/30 3:34am PDT by Rita El Khoury
The Note9 in the US is also getting its own taste of night mode. Previously available for some versions of the device available in other countries, we have a report of an update landing which delivers the feature on Verizon. The update, which is for build N960USQU2CSGA, also includes the July 1st security patch level.
Based on a claim at the Galaxy Note9 subreddit, T-Mobile version of the phone won't get night mode until next month. We have no word on the update landing for US unlocked devices or AT&T customers just yet, though.

Before war started breaking out this week, I had intended on discussing the death of one of my least favorite people, Shamil Basayev. Apparently, Basayev had been hiding out in Ingushetia, a republic neighboring Chechnya, when a convoy he was accompanying went kaboom. One of the trucks in the convoy had 22o pounds of dynamite in it and may or may not have exploded accidentally. According to a Federal Security Service chief, this was a planned strike with the help of "the Russian intelligence position abroad." An unnamed security official said that some close to Basayev tipped off his position. Meanwhile, an Ingush official said that the explosion was accidental and occurred while a police operation was being staged to halt a terror attack. Obviously the Russians will claim they had a hand in his death, and why not? It strengthens Putin's domestic position. Whatever the case may be, one of the world's truly evil people is dead and he deserved every ounce of that explosion. If you play with dynamite you will get smeared.

Regional guide to the Yorkshire coast
Credit: Olimpio Fantuz/ 4corners
From wild heather moorlands and rugged cliffs to sandy beaches and picture postcard seaside towns, the Yorkshire Coast is as diverse as it is beautiful, as Zara Gaspar discovers.
According to Visit England statistics, more people visit Yorkshire than any other part of the country barring London and it is easy to see why. Yet while the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the literary interest of "Brontë Country" remain definite county highlights, the Yorkshire Coast is equally as enticing.
The coastline of England's biggest county stretches more than 100 miles from Spurn Point to Saltburn-by-the-Sea, as the landscape changes from the drama of the North York Moors National Park to the beaches of the traditional Victorian seaside towns. In fact, Britain's first seaside resort was here, kick-starting the nation's love affair with promenades and piers. The coastline also boasts literary connections to rival those of the Brontë sisters. It was here that Bram Stoker found the atmospheric setting for Dracula, for example, while the area is also associated with the legend of Robin Hood.
There are real life heroes to celebrate here too. Follow in the footsteps of Captain James Cook, Britain's greatest explorer, who called this part of the world his home, or discover the area's engineering heritage by visiting the longest steam operated railway in the UK.

Known as the jewel in the crown of the Yorkshire coast, this picturesque seaport may be small, but it's rich in history and culture, as well as being renowned for having the world's best fish and chips – Magpie Café and Quayside are award-winning purveyors of the British delicacy, while Trenchers was named best restaurant at the 2019 Fish & Chip Awards.
The town is divided into two by the River Esk with the Old Town in the east and remnants of a Victorian past in the west. Its most famous landmark, the 1,360-year-old Whitby Abbey, sits on a cliff overlooking the harbour and beaches. The Old Town is made up of narrow, cobbled streets, along which you can still buy Whitby Jet, a local mineral used to make jewellery. From here you can walk up 119 steps to St Mary's, the church that inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula, while in the west of the town lies the Captain Cook Museum where the explorer took on an apprenticeship in 1746.

The setting for the 2016 film adaptation of the classic British TV comedy Dad's Army, Bridlington is a stunning backdrop with its golden sand beaches and bustling harbour.
In the heart of the medieval old town stands the gothic Priory Church; built in 113AD, it was once one of the greatest monastic medieval buildings. The grade I-listed Bayle Museum focuses on Bridlington's heritage and holds a treasure trove of artefacts, including the gloves of Charles I's wife, Queen Henrietta Maria.
Bridlington borders the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast, a stretch of dramatic chalk cliffs that are home to half a million seabirds and a 17th-century lighthouse at Flamborough Head, the only surviving light tower in England.
Don't miss Sewerby Hall and Gardens en route, a stunning property dating back to the early Georgian era complete with zoo.

This national trail runs for 109 miles, beginning inland at Helmsley before running up through the heather-filled North York Moors National Park,
and reaching the sea at Saltburn-by-the-Sea.
From here, the trail traverses some of the country's most beautiful coastline and reaches some of the highest cliffs in England (the highest point of the trail is 1,300 feet above sea level) en route to Filey, one of many pretty little towns and fishing villages along the way – also look out for the red-roofed cottages of Runswick Bay and the sweeping beach of Sandsend.
Highlights along the trail itself include the ruins of one of England's most powerful Cistercian monasteries, Rievaulx Abbey; the White Horse carved into a hillside near Kilburn; and Captain Cook's monument, a 60-foot high obelisk that sits on top of one of the highest hills in North Yorkshire.

This quaint fishing village with its close-knit cottages and winding streets, is not only famous as the setting for children's TV show Old Jack's Boat,
but also as the artist capital of Yorkshire. The beautiful Georgian Staithes Gallery showcases a wonderful selection of contemporary art inspired by the area.
The James Cook Cottage is also located here. The explorer was born in Marton, about 25 miles outside of Staithes, but he moved to the village
in 1744 to work for merchant William Sanderson.

SALTBURN CLIFF LIFT

The oldest cliff lift in England can be found in the charming coastal town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Built in 1884, the water-powered funicular railway transports visitors to the town down to the foot of the cliffs, where the 600-foot Victorian pier awaits. This Grade II structure is the only surviving pleasure pier in the north-east of England, and it offers picturesque views looking back towards Saltburn.
The town itself boasts some impressive Victorian buildings and the beautiful, maze-like Valley Gardens, but look out for woolly creations by the Yarnbombers, a group of knitters who leave their work dotted around the town.

If military history is your thing, the magnificent Scarborough Castle has seen plenty of action. The former medieval royal fortress was built by Henry II, besieged twice in the Civil War, and also came under attack in the First World War. Dating back 3,000 years, the site was once home to an Iron Age Fort, a Roman occupation, and a Viking settlement too.
The castle is not only rich in history, but it affords visitors stunning views over Scarborough, England's first seaside resort. Other Scarborough gems worth visiting are the Rotunda Museum and the oriental-themed Peasholm Park, one of Britain's best green spaces and home of the Naval Warfare, a war re-enactment with model battleships on the park's lake.

Founded in 1774, the Raven Hall Country House and Hotel in Ravenscar was once owned by King George III's physician and supposedly housed the monarch himself during his famed bouts of madness. The elegant historic house has 55 en-suite rooms and is situated 600 feet above sea level, offering guests rather dramatic views across Robin Hood's Bay.
Raven Hall is ideally placed between Whitby and Scarborough, while visitors can also explore the archaeological remains of Ravenscar Alum Works, where alum was quarried for dyeing and tanning.

According to legend, folk hero Robin Hood stopped pirates who were looting the village of what is now known as Robin Hood's Bay. While there's no hard evidence for this, the story adds to the charm of this idyllic fishing village – and explains the name.
What we do know for sure is that during the 18th century, the bay was a hotspot for smugglers sneaking in gin, brandy, tea, tobacco and French lace to sell on the black market. When walking through the village's maze of twisted, cobbled streets, you can imagine just how easy it would have been to get away with such business without being noticed. For a fuller picture, visit the Robin Hood's Bay Museum to see a replica smuggler's house with its trap doors and hidden cupboards.

SPURN POINT

This striking 3.5-mile long nature reserve, owned by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, is a long sandy spit that stretches out into the Humber Estuary. Spurn Safaris offer visitors, who are otherwise only able to see the reserve by foot or bicycle, the chance to take a guided tour of the area in a 4×4, including the Discovery Centre and restored lighthouse.
Spurn Point is one of the best migration sites and a wildlife haven for dragonflies, butterflies and roe deer, especially when wildflowers bloom in the spring. This stretch of the Yorkshire Coast is nicknamed "the Dinosaur coast" on account of the world-class geology, and so fossil hunting is particularly popular at the reserve.

Drugs for All Deemed More Profitable than Circumcision
Demands to roll out mass male circumcision programs, claimed to reduce HIV transmission, date back at least 20 years. Other claims about the 'benefits' of circumcision go back centuries. But by the time the programs had started several other interventions had been identified that have a far better claim to reduce HIV transmission.
For example, 'test and treat', the practice of putting everyone who tests positive for HIV on ARVs immediately, is claimed to reduce transmission to a HIV negative sexual partner by 96% or higher. (Note, 90 is something of a magic number in UNAIDSland at the moment, with their 90-90-90 strategy replacing various other magic numbers conjured up in the past.)
PrEP, the practice of giving ARVs to HIV negative people who are thought to be at risk of infection with the virus, is also claimed to reduce transmission to a HIV negative partner by 96%.
If the number of HIV positive people in the world is something around 30 million, depending on which estimates you use, and about half of them are claimed to be on ARVs already, there are still around 15 million who can benefit from ARVs. That's worth, say, a few billion dollars.
Although a lot of those opposed to mass male circumcision don't seem to realize this, many of those promoting circumcision are the same people who promoted behavior based programs, particularly those with an emphasis on 'abstinence'. Those programs, although they never completely died out, were a disaster. Even the people formerly pushing them now admit that they probably had no impact on HIV transmission. But they wanted to find another source of funding to replace the vast amounts that used to go into 'prevention', a lot of which was spent on behavior based rubbish.
Circumcision seemed like the answer because the number of people who could be targeted for circumcision could run into hundreds of millions. Every year millions more male children would be available to keep the programs profitable.
At first the promoters claimed they were only targeting sexually active adults, but they quickly found that most of them didn't want to be circumcised. It was much easier to recruit children and now they can turn their attention to infants.
But with test and treat, coupled with PrEP, how can the circumcision enthusiasts still claim that there is any benefit to the operation? They need to target almost the entire male population in countries where circumcision is not widely practiced. They must carry out the operation on about 75 men for every one claimed reduction in HIV transmission.
The other interventions, test and treat and PrEP, are claimed to be targeted at those most at risk. Let's take a look at who is thought to be most at risk, and see just how many hundreds of millions of people that involves, who would need to be taking these drugs for the rest of their lives in the case of test and treat, and for as long as they are thought to be at risk for PrEP.
In western countries there are few groups who are thought to be at risk. The biggest group is men who have sex with men. The second biggest group is injecting drug users. But aside from commercial sex workers, who are given some choice in prevention options in many rich countries, there are not many others.
The picture is completely different in southern and eastern African countries, with high prevalence and/or large numbers of people infected with HIV. This article about a PrEP program in Kenya says the groups of people claimed to face the highest risk of being infected include:
Discordant couples (where one partner is HIV positive and one is HIV negative)
People who frequently contract sexually transmitted infections
People who are said to be unable to 'negotiate' condom use
People who frequently use post-exposure prophylaxis (a short course of ARVs for people who suspect they may have been infected, taken within 72 hours of contact)
People who share injecting equipment
Out of the estimated 77,600 new infections in Kenya it is not clear how many arose among any of the listed 'risk' groups. High prevalence countries tend not to trace contacts, assuming that the bulk of transmissions (about 90% if you exclude infants said to have been infected by their mothers) were a result of heterosexual intercourse.
You could easily add other risks to the above list, for example (most of the following are a risk in developing countries although 7, 10 and 12 are likely to be more common in rich countries):
People who have given birth in a health center/clinic
People who have given birth at home, or anywhere other than in a health center/clinic
People who have received birth control injections
People who have had injections, blood tests, transfusions, dental care, infusions, etc
People who have had operations that involved piercing the skin, major or minor (including circumcision)
People who have received some forms of traditional healthcare that involved skin piercing
People who use injected appearance or performance enhancers (eg botox, steroids, etc)
People who get their head shaved or where skin is pierced and/or weakened by processes
People who receive manicures, pedicures, etc
People who have body piercings
People who practice scarification and other practices
People who get tattoos
Of course, with the second list, you could warn people about the risks and clean up health centers, cosmetic establishments and anywhere skin piercing occurs (the list is surprisingly long). This would seem preferable to putting almost everyone in a population on expensive drugs for many years.
But UNAIDS, CDC, WHO and other establishments object to calls to warn people about the risks they face in health and cosmetic facilities in developing countries. They warn some people from rich countries about the risks in poor countries but they refuse to warn people in poor countries.
Even concentrating on the risks listed in the Kenya article it is easy to identify many millions of people who could be said to need the $775 per annum PrEP, which is the estimated cost of the drugs alone (I don't know what other costs there may be).
So you can see the attraction for the HIV industry. If there were only 5 million people requiring years of ARVs, for some, a lifetime of ARVs, that's several billion dollars for Kenya alone. There are countries with higher prevalence and others with higher numbers of people infected than Kenya.
With only a few billion dollars for mass male circumcision, with its 1.3% absolute risk reduction, or even the claimed 60% relative risk reduction, drugs for the sick and the well seems like a far more lucrative strategy. Even if the benefits realized for mass male circumcision far exceed those unlikely claims, they can't come close to the claimed benefits of test and treat and those of PrEP.
One problem is that you can't roll out PrEP for many of the groups claimed to benefit. For example, in discordant couples the positive partner should already be receiving ARVs. People who share injecting equipment could be better served by a clean syringe and needle program. There may be other examples, where overlapping PrEP and test and treat might raise eyebrows among the more scrupulous in the industry.
And it would be perverse to give PrEP to people while they still attend clinics and other places where skin piercing procedures take place without warning them about the risks and also ensuring that those places start to abide by strict infection control regulations that people in rich countries (and rich people in poor countries) enjoy.
If PrEP and test and treat strategies work as well as we are told, let's hope they do as well in the field as they did in trials. But let's also get rid of these silly mass male circumcision programs. We no longer have to pretend that they will reduce HIV transmission, or even pretend that that's why they were rolled out in the first place. Worse still, the profits are orders of magnitude lower than the drug based strategies.
HIV: Cuba's Success and Uganda's Failure
Uganda is frequently mentioned in glowing terms in articles about HIV, especially in relation to the late 80s, 90s and early on in the 2000s. In contrast, Cuba is rarely mentioned in glowing terms, although the percentage of 15-49 year olds infected with HIV (prevalence), at 0.3%, is 23 times smaller than the same figure for Uganda, which stood at 7.1% in 2015 (all HIV figures from UNAIDS).
In fact, one could suggest that Uganda never got to grips with the epidemic. They still can't explain why so many people, said to face a low risk of being infected with HIV, have seroconverted over the past several decades. Despite huge amounts of research, money and other resources being thrown at the country, the bulk of published research on HIV in Uganda seems to be focused on assumed sexual behavior and assumed sexually transmitted HIV.
Little or no international funding went into the HIV epidemic in Cuba. The country worked hard to research the epidemic, even before the first HIV positive person was identified there, several years before. Luckily, the country had a well developed health service, with more doctors per patient than any other high prevalence country (including the US). Indeed, the US (where an estimated 1.2 million were living with HIV in 2013) seemed intent on ridiculing Cuba's approach to the virus.
Some of the criticisms were directed at claimed human rights aspects of Cuba's achievements. It was often stated or implied that men who have sex with men were especially targeted by, for example, Cuba's imposed 'quarantine'. The quarantining started when little was known about the course of the illness, but it was relaxed once more was known. A number of personal accounts, some from men who have sex with men, now make it clear that many of the people quarantined are grateful to have received the care they got at the 'sanitaria' (there are links to other similar articles from this article).
An article by Tim Anderson finds that the quarantine did not target men who have sex with men; it also finds that other procedures were carried out in accordance with international guidelines. Anderson notes that Cuba was 'more thorough' in their testing and tracing procedures. Cuba has continued to make improvements in how they deal with the epidemic, which is a low level one, with men who have sex with men being the most affected group.
Sarah Z Hoffman refers to Cuba's HIV program as 'the most successful in the world'. Cuba approached HIV with the aim of reducing the likelihood of those infected going on to infect other people. That may sound like an obvious aim, but the greater thoroughness of Cuba identified by Anderson can be contrasted with a reduction in contact tracing in many countries, where it was claimed that certain groups were being unfairly targeted by such measures.
Cuba also started providing all HIV positive people with antiretrovirals in 2001, which they produced themselves as generic versions. Other countries had to wait a long time before they could provide more than a small fraction of HIV positive people with ARVs, and they had to pay astronomical amounts of money for them for years (although the costs are far lower now).
Hoffman writes "HIV infected people must provide the names of all sexual partners in the past six months, and those individuals must be tested for HIV. People found to have any sexually transmitted disease must undergo an HIV test as well. Voluntary HIV screening is encouraged."
This is one of the places where practices in Cuba differ from practices in most other countries. This is called 'contact tracing' and it's a vital tool of infection control. But in most countries people can claim anything they wish to about their sexual partners, that they have never had sex, that they have only engaged in heterosexual sex, that they have never injected drugs, etc. If people can withhold such information then contact tracing is impossible.
(My previous post is about a rare and valuable contribution to the history of HIV in Africa from John Potterat's book 'Seeking the Positives', much of which concentrates on his work on HIV and STI epidemiology in the US. There's a link to the chapter here. The approach the US adopted towards HIV could hardly have been more different from that of Cuba. Unfortunately, most other countries, certainly most poor countries, wedded themselves to the US, till death…etc.)
As a result of not tracing contacts, or of not doing so very assiduously, countries like the US, with extremely high transmission rates in certain groups, have never got their epidemic under control. In common with Cuba, the largest proportion of new HIV infections now is among men who have sex with men. Unlike Cuba, there is also a large injecting drug population in the US. But where contacts are not traced, they can not be offered the same opportunity to avoid infection if they are negative, or avoid infecting others if they are positive. Nor can they be 'connected to care' as quickly as possible.
In fact, many of the things western countries write copiously about, such as early testing and treatment, universal testing, elimination of mother to child transmission, universal access to treatment, were achieved in Cuba years ago, but have never been fully achieved even in some western countries. Where HIV prevalence is highest, in southern and eastern African countries, some of those achievements may not be realized in our lifetime.
Unfortunately for the worst affected countries, the rights of individuals are claimed to be foremost. Their contacts, past and future, are not treated as individuals. If the individual has multiple partners and chooses not to reveal that they engage in high risk practices, that's considered to be the individual's business. If the individual has had no sexual partners, or no HIV positive sexual partners, then the source of their infection needs to be identified. But in high prevalence African countries tracing of non-sexual contacts is rare. What you do find a lot of in research is findings referred to as 'biased', because the researcher expected every HIV transmission to be a case of sexual transmission.
(Despite the apparent desire of most countries to protect people's individual rights in relation to HIV, this approach seemed to go out the window when the virus involved was ebola. Some 'infection control' measures seemed to involve groups breaking into people's houses, forcing them into shabby health facilities, burning their property in public, spraying their houses, breaking up families and communities, etc. Who knows what approach will be taken to the next headline grabbing epidemic.)
So why all the attention and resources for a country that appears to have lost control of HIV a long time ago, and why all the rhetorical questions about Uganda, how their 'success' can be replicated, etc? More importantly, why so little attention for Cuba, and why is it so belated? We can learn a lot from both countries. Instead, we should be asking what Cuba did right, and continues to do right, but what Uganda did wrong, and continues to do wrong.
Cuba's approach to HIV may have been the most successful anywhere. Some would go further and claim that Cuba may be the only country that was seriously threatened by the virus, but gained complete control over the epidemic early on, and retained that control. In the sphere of human rights, also, Cuba has made a lot of progress. Uganda, on the other hand, continues to move in the opposite direction in the fields of public health, human rights, HIV, political stability, economy, etc.

Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson feels his side are beginning to build some momentum after a 1-0 home win against Coventry City consolidated their position in the final Play-Off spot.
Full-back Kgosi Ntlhe's early strike settled a game of little goalmouth incident at London Road as two of the hottest striking properties in Sky Bet League One - Posh's Britt Assombalonga and Callum Wilson of Coventry - both drew a blank.
South Africa international Nthle planted a powerful header from Danny Swanson's perfectly-placed right-wing corner past Coventry goalkeeper Joe Murphy to claim his third goal of the season and earn a second home success in the space of five days.
Ferguson said: "We were outstanding for half-an-hour and it was a pity we couldn't get another goal to make things more comfortable.
"Danny (Swanson) has been outstanding lately so to lose him was a big blow.
"We allowed ourselves to become too deep at times when Coventry were on top and we didn't look after the ball well enough.
"It is all about winning games at this stage of the season though. We haven't ground out enough results for my liking, but we managed it today against a good side.
"We're not there yet in terms of the play-offs, but we have certainly put ourselves in a good position. We have to continue to build momentum and breed confidence."
But Posh can count themselves fortunate to have preserved their advantage after conceding the initiative when Swanson was forced out of the action in the first half due to an ankle injury.
Cyrus Christie squandered a golden chance to haul the visitor level when heading wide from a free-kick late in the first half.
Christie then turned provider to release loan striker Nathan Eccleston 10 minutes after the restart, but the forward failed to open his Sky Blues account by slicing wide from 12 yards.
There was another scare for Posh when Coventry top-scorer Wilson almost took advantage of a mix-up between Posh defender Ben Nugent and goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik, only for Nugent to recover in time to clear.
Sky Blues boss Steven Pressley was disappointed to leave empty-handed.
He said: "I'm struggling to work out how we got nothing from the game.
"The opening 20 minutes were disappointing from our respect and the confidence of the lads was dented by falling behind during that spell.
"Again we conceded from a set piece and again that comes down to one player not taking the responsibility for his job.
"But we grew into the game, got control of it in the remainder of the first half and we were dominant throughout the second period when my goalkeeper only had one save to make.
"We had three or four unbelievable chances to get a goal, but we didn't have the quality to do so.
"Our overall performance was worthy of a minimum of one point, if not all three."

2017 - the year of IBM's Blockchain ambitions
By Martin Banks December 11, 2016
Expectations are growing that Blockchain will be one of the big business management tools of the near future, and IBM is working hard to have a key role in its development and use.
Not surprisingly, Blockchain activity is led by financial markets, where many predict it will have a major early impact.
IBM sees the take-up kicking off in earnest with the early adopter trailblazers during 2017, with mass adoption in the financial community following on rapidly during 2018. Its own market research suggests that 14% of financial institutions are likely to have Blockchain in a production environment by the end of 2017.
IBM VP of Financial Markets Keith Bear acknowledges that in these early days such predictions could show wide variations. Deutsche Bank estimates, for example, suggest that only 3% of financial organizations will be ready to go with production environments by then. Bear says:
The main thing to note here is that it is only a year since Blockchain applications started to be considered, yet we are now already moving into the pragmatic discussion phase with many potential customers. This is where the real opportunities lie.
The early opportunities seen by IBM cross a wide spread of financial activity, with the low-hanging fruit being in areas such as working with reference data, retail payments, consumer lending, and other cash management applications.
Further out, Bear expects to see a very long tail of applications where the technology being used to manage traditional finance and corporate lending, mortgages, deposit taking and international payments. These are areas where regulation is strict and therefore the key issues will be about managing the way the technology itself is used.
I can also see it creating new business models for financial services businesses in areas such as debt issuance.
The company is not just setting out its stall as a Blockchain purveyor. The IBM Global Financing Division is already out on the bleeding edge of early adoption. It is already working with two of its partner companies to put tools that manage disputes on payments between businesses into production. Once this works well, it can then be pitched at the rest of its 4000+ partners and suppliers, which currently issue some 2.9 million invoices a year requiring finance of around $44 billion a year.
Other early financial services companies IBM is working with include the CLS Group, which has partnered with IBM to release a payment-netting service for buy-side and sell-side institutions' FX trades that are settled outside the CLS settlement service. Here, relevant data will only exist for those parties that are part of a transaction.
In this case, Blockchain is allowing CLS to work with organisations that are not part of this US Fed-regulated network, while giving them the security of conducting specific transactions that are regulated by the US-Fed. All other pertaining regulations will be those applied by the countries or organisations that normally regulate those businesses.
The Japanese Exchange Group has launched its own Blockchain consortium and will test a pilot on its source Hyperledger fabric, helped by IBM Japan. Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank and Deutsche Borse are testing Blockchain for securities settlement operations. IBM and SBI Securities, a Japanese securities trading firm, are also working on a pilot of a securities trading platform.
Knowing fine wine is fine wine
While financial services are usually amongst the big early adopters of any technology, it is fair to say that the applications of Blockchain – at least in the early stages – are pretty obvious. That is, after all, a business where clear-cut chains of secure communication and information passing are required. But the more interesting aspect of Blockchain is how it might be used in other areas to create not just services but whole new business models.
Take one of IBM's newest business partners as an example. Everledger aims to produce an on-going, bomb-proof ledger, that can then be used to establish the provenance of valuable items. According to Leanne Kemp, Everledger CEO, there are many such items where the individual cost can be not just large but astronomic, and proving it is the real item and not a fake can be vitally important:
The provenance of who had it, who bought it and who has it now can be important in the world of luxury goods, especially in diamonds and art but also other areas such as fine wines. There is also the associated issue of insurance fraud that can surround such items.
Using Blockchain to create secure ledgers for such items has already started in the diamond trade, with Everledger forming close relationships with the major diamond trade houses. Diamonds (big ones at least) now have laser IDs engraved into them which are then key to a provenance ledger. Now the company is looking at the fine wine trade to create a similar process, where bottles are tagged with permanent RFID tags.
There do seem to some possible flaws in some aspects of this model, not least that it cannot be retrospectively applied with any more degree of certainty than possible from an expert or two saying `I think this is genuine'. There is also the question mark, especially in the art world, that painters and sculptors tend to only become famous after their death, so it may not be possible ask them for the provenance of yes or no.
The other side of the coin, of course, is that all the production of a maker/creator can now be ID'd and logged. So even where there is a poor, non-valuable period of production – with the classic example being a bad year for fine wines – that information can form part of the ledger, giving the wine a permanently `marked card'.
But it is clear that, from here on in, the idea has real merit, especially when it comes the associate issues of insurance. And the fundamental model of creating and keeping secure, movable data that can only be updated by those known to be party to the creation or ownership of an item, and where the perpetrator of any fraud can be identified, is likely to have many other applications.
According to Luke Sully, Associate Partner, Blockchain Security Services Lead at IBM, there is still work to be done, not so much on security per se, but on the surrounding management and planning of transactions. For example, there are still some management issues to be borne in mind such as using encryption, especially when it comes to using different crypto-sovereignty standards.
Continuity of transaction, event creation, and transformation between databases are also issues that users need to be aware of, and service providers will need to be able to offer solutions.
Trust me, I'm a journalist – OK, maybe not me
The IBM Blockchain Ecosystem is 'owned' by Rob Smith, IBM's worldwide Blockchain Garage owner. The Hyperledger architecture IBM is working with consists of a network of peer nodes, with each company that is a party to a transaction, or series of transactions, requiring one node so that they can communicate with all the other parties. In practice, Smith likens this to users building a network of networks so that companies can join with several other companies. The key is that these companies need to be consenters:
Essentially, you need to be able to trust all the machines that are the consenters for they get all the transactions that come through the network. They need to be part of your business network somehow, and you need to be able to trust the person that runs them. You have still got the membership services who say yes you are part of our service, and committers that receive the Blockchain communications and put them on the ledger in the order established by the consenters.
This means that users can then share a private chain or a public chain, where someone can initiate a transaction and direct it to either an individual company or to the whole group that is party to that chain.
Smith acknowledges that it will be that large enterprises with the established IT resources that figure largely in the early adopters, and is aware that there still work to be done to make Blockchain more available and usable by the SME community. This is particularly important as they are the businesses that can benefit most from the clear-cut management of financial transactions between businesses, especially when they are playing the role of contractor to larger enterprises.
He is also refreshingly honest about what steps need to be taken to speed this process, referring to it as something `we will need to find out'.
We'd obviously like people to run on IBM SoftLayer, everywhere we have SoftLayer available.
It seems that two contradictory terms - 'locked down' and 'flexible' apply to the potential of Blockchain in business. It offers the ability to lock a communications channel down, creating something that is both secure and all-but impossible to defraud, yet flexible enough to be extended/adapted/modified with relative ease if all the participants in a network consent. And as the Everledger application indicates the breadth and scope for potential roles may well be limited only by human ingenuity.

Marian Hurst Bair, our beautiful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, was reunited with her family that have passed on before her in the early morning hours of Sunday, February 26, 2017.
She passed away peacefully at Park City Hospital.
Marian was born February 20, 1928, in Blanding, San Juan County, UT to John Franklin and Bertha May Rogers Hurst. She was the fifth child born to this family.
She had four brothers: John (Dorothy) Hurst (both deceased), Hugh Hurst, Mark (Sue) Hurst, and Roger (Linda) Hurst; and four sisters: Echo (deceased), Emily (David) Pollard (deceased), Roena (Marion) Larsen (both deceased), and MaeBeth (Bill) Munk.
She grew up in Blanding and a part of her heart was always there. She could go anywhere in her life and find people who came from her small community in Utah. She would say what a small world we lived in.
Marian met and fell in love with a handsome man, Sherwin Clifford Bair, from Richmond, Cache Valley, UT. They were married on July 15, 1947, in the Logan Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
They would have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary this July. They resided in Richmond, Cache Valley, where they raised their eight children.
Marian was active in the LDS Church and served in many callings. One of her memorable callings was being Relief Society President twice. She enjoyed this calling, serving the sisters with great care.
Our mother was an amazing woman – beautiful, elegant and vivacious.
She loved her family deeply and was very proud of who they became as adults.
She lived with three of her children in her later years, and enjoyed the time that she had with them – especially being able to spend time with grandchildren and great-grandchildren who came and visited with her.
Marian is survived by their eight children, Catherine (Ken) Walston of Tucson, AZ; Alana (Colin) Jenkins of Clancy, MT; Joy (Gary) Stone of Gilbert, AZ; Ann (Dave) Downs of Fountain Valley, CA; Ruth (Randy) Bindrup of South Jordan, UT; David (Frances) Bair of Francis, UT; Rex (Amy) Bair of Hesperia, CA; and Phillip (Kristie) Bair of Francis, UT.
She is also survived by 30 grandchildren with 21 spouses and 69 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her loving husband, Sherwin Clifford Bair.
Funeral services were held Friday, March 3, 2017 at the Francis LDS Church House. Burial followed at the Francis Cemetery.
Condolences may be sent to the family at 875 West Oak Lane Francis, UT 84036.

Q: Difference between defining macro and "using" in c++ So I was recently looking at competitive programming, and many people have the following code in their program to make it faster to type:
#define ll long long

For every instance of ll, long long will be replaced. However, I also saw another similar thing:
using ll = long long

Is there any difference between using one or the other, and when should I use which?

Few cities can be described as beautiful, but with its iconic landmarks and rugged coastline, Sydney is the exception to the rule.
That beauty has seen the popular tourist destination become one of the most in-demand places to live in the world. As a result, prices have continued to rise at record rates, making a vacation Down Under rather costly.
So, is it worth saving up your hard-earned dollars for a trip to Australia's largest city? You bet it is. Whether you're after relaxation or adventure, this cosmopolitan paradise has it all. And to make sure you see the best of what it has to offer, we've drawn up a list of seven must-do activities, below.
While Sydney has plenty of beautiful beaches on its doorstep, two of its finest are arguably located an hour's drive outside of the city. Palm Beach, which can be seen in the Australia soap Home and Away, is a mile-long horseshoe of pristine sand. Just a five-minute drive down the road will take you to the equally impressive Whale Beach. Enclosed by vertical cliff faces and nearly always deserted, this is the perfect spot to unwind.
One sure-fire way of adding some excitement to your holiday is a walk across the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge. The two-to-three-hour trek will see you climb vertical ladders and walk across narrow catwalks to reach the bridge's summit. Although the $200-300 price tag will be too steep for some, the postcard-worthy views of the city make this an activity not to be missed.
The northern suburb of Manly is one of Sydney's most popular tourist destinations thanks to its mixture of beaches, shopping, and fine dining. The town is reachable by road but most take the scenic ferry from Circular Quay. If at any point you become bored with soaking up the laidback atmosphere, you can always try your hand at cliff jumping at Manly Rock.
There's no better to spot to take in the beauty of Sydney than the Dr. Mary Booth Lookout Reserve. This hidden gem is unknown to many tourists, but it features some of the best panoramic views of the harbor. Visit in the early evening and watch on in awe as the city lights up in a conglomeration of color.
Two-hours away from the bustling center of Sydney lies the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Blue Mountains, a beautiful array of limestone cliffs that surge high above the forest floor. The area is home to some of the best bushwalks in the state, with untouched waterfalls and underground caves greeting you at every bend. You can take a full-day tour that leaves directly from the city or choose to make your own way there via train or vehicle.
A visit to Sydney is not complete without a trip to the world-famous Bondi Beach. Take the time to unwind before grabbing a coffee at one of the numerous cafes that overlook the beachfront. In the afternoon, walk the scenic coastal route to Coogee Beach, which features an array of lookout points and snorkeling opportunities.
Finish off your trip in style with a visit to the 360 Bar and Dining Restaurant at the top of the iconic Sydney Tower. The eatery offers a culinary experience unlike any other, with the spectacular menu matched by the revolving views of the city. Prices are largely dependent on the time of day that you book, but you can expect to pay a minimum of $70 for a three-course meal.
Classic rides and attractions make this city-center fairground good fun for all ages.
With the stunning backdrop of Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Olympic Pool is the ideal spot for a quick cooldown.
If you ever need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, the tranquil setting of Royal Botanic Gardens is the place to go.
Just a short ferry ride away from the Opera House, Taronga Zoo is home to over 4,000 animals. Kids will adore the entertaining shows while adults will never bore of the cityscape backdrop.

1 Forbes rankings are the opinion of SHOOK Research and are based on in-person and telephone due-diligence meetings and a ranking algorithm for advisors who have a minimum of seven years of experience, client retention, industry experience, compliance records and firm nominations, as well as quantitative criteria such as assets under management and revenue generated for the firm. Advisors are judged on individual contribution, but total team assets are shown; in some cases, significant, non-custodied assets are not included because of verification difficulties. Investment performance is not considered. Advisors do not pay to be in the ranking.
2 According to Barron's, "The formula [used] to rank advisors has three major components: assets managed, revenue produced and quality of the advisor's practice. Investment returns are not a component of the rankings because an advisor's returns are dictated largely by each client's risk tolerance. The quality-of-practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor's regulatory record." The rankings are based on the universe of applications submitted to Barron's. The selection process begins with a nomination and application provided to Barron's. Principals of Edelman Financial Services, LLC self-nominated the firm and submitted quantitative and qualitative information to Barron's as requested. Barron's reviewed and considered this information, which resulted in the rankings on Aug. 27, 2012/Aug. 28, 2010/Aug. 31, 2009.

The cyclical rhythm of the academic year is one of the greatest perks of being a professor. Many of us still know the buzz of possibility when summer ends and the campus parking lots begin filling up again. The winter break, too, brief as it is, can be as restorative as a deep, purifying breath. The poignancy of the fall semester's ending is enhanced for me, no doubt, by the darkening days leading to and from the solstice and into uncharted seas. I suspect that even the most cynical among us can hear the whispered promises each new year brings.
As a unit of time, the semester has great power even though its parameters are arbitrary. Whatever rationale the academic calendar may once have had means nothing to most of us now. And, of course, despite our fealty to semesters, we routinely violate their boundaries by working with students on long-term projects, as well as our own ongoing service commitments and scholarly work. Summer teaching too, especially when done online, disrupts the familiar stop-and-start school year rhythm. Most of us are not, it is clear, rigidly wedded to traditional academic rhythms and could not flourish in our jobs if we were.
And it's also not true that we are on break in any normal sense. I gently bit the head off the last person who asked me if I had big plans for my winter "vacation." The truth is, that though last semester's grades have been submitted, I'm busily retooling my courses for next term, revising a paper to submit early in the new year, and fielding questions and requests from previous and upcoming students. There are all sorts of deadlines and due dates that have no respect for the fact that I am on "break." But even so, there is this peaceful sense of closure, of a chapter ending in my professional life, that most workers never enjoy.
I suspect that this stop-and-start rhythm may also help account for the effective teacher-student relationships many of us form. I can give my students fifteen weeks of more or less steady energy, and expect them to pony up some in return, partly because our time together is well-bounded and brief. For better and worse, it is often easiest to lend one's best self to a new acquaintance with whom one is merely taking a short journey than to, say, a life partner. The pressure that the semester's looming, inevitable ending places on the participants, an ending that is always visible on the horizon, can nourish the productive intensity of the classroom experience.
A school term can perform this framing function, I think, whether it's a "good" semester, full of energetic and capable students, or a "bad" one in which things never fully click. Surely there's some broader lesson in impermanence and detachment here? How, I wonder, can we move into each new term, with hands more fully open, embracing the knowledge that, whatever else these upcoming months bring, it will all end? Whether we and our students love and respect one another or are mutually repelled, soon it will be over. Surely, in light of this benevolent, merciless constraint of time, I can offer my full presence and attention, right? And, besides, isn't the school term just a microcosm of the structure of time that bounds and gives shape to our very lives?
It is no wonder, then, that, for fortunate professors like me, these thrumming beginnings and solemn denouements form the basic architecture of our professional identities. It's a rhythm that mirrors the habitual relief of falling into bed each night and the hopeful possibility that can nudge one out of bed each morning. This drip-drip-drip of time is almost comforting in its honesty, and the response it invites from me is just as straightforward: I am to accept the weight of yet another snowy Midwestern winter as I clear my desktop and my driveway in these waning days of 2017. As I move forward, my left foot finds the oblique, diffuse light of the future while, for a long moment, my right one remains in the shadowy past.
I wish I were fool enough to believe that this unwritten, upcoming calendar year might magically wash away the grinding horror of our national circumstances, not to mention the stains of a remarkably difficult year for me personally. But though 2018 brought me a heaping portion of death, illness, and disruption, I do not want to rush through its ending. Instead, I choose to bask in this caesura, this animated liminality, like a hibernating frog on a muddy pond bottom. And I dare anyone to repeat the tired accusation that professors are eternal schoolchildren, never having matured enough to enter the "real world." What could be more real, more elemental and momentous, than letting go and starting over again and again and again?


Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced Friday the nation's parliament will be dissolved Saturday ahead of a general election campaign.
The election commission will later announce the voting date, which must be held within 60 days.
Najib, whose five-year term ends in June, has been accused of gerrymandering and suppressing free speech during the contentious campaign. He's also suspected of trying to manipulate the popular vote after backing legislation to redraw the electoral map.
Najib's "fake news" bill passed this week, which allows jail time of up to six years for spreading false stories, something critics fear may be used to crack down on dissent and negative reports about the government.
Najib, 64, narrowly won the last election in 2013 and has since faced criticisms over the rising cost of living and the government's handling of the still-missing flight MH370. His regime also was hit by a multi-billion dollar corruption scandal involving a state fund.
His opponent, former president and mentor Mahathir Mohamad, lashed out after missing paperwork resulted in temporary dissolution of his Bersatu Party. An appeal can be filed, but Mahathir and his candidates can only stand as individuals and not conduct any activities or use the party's name or logo.
Mahathir, 92, Malaysia's longest serving leader, defected from Najib's party in 2016.
