Ride-sharing also-ran is taking a serious run at Uber.
Watch out, Uber—by the end of the year, Lyft will add 100 new US cities to its service areas. The company is expanding its reach to increase revenue in its pursuit to profitability, according to a Business Insider article. The company lost an estimated $600 million last year, but expects to be profitable in 2018.
The ride-share company is smaller than competitor Uber, which serves more than 450 cities and regions world-wide, but it's planning to grow this year, said Jaime Raczka, the head of early-stage markets and expansion at Lyft. Those plans include adding the higher-end Lyft Premier servicce to more cities, which now covers Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Washington, D.C. It's also possible that it will soon launch service in other countries.
Lyft recently changed how how it operates within the so-called "Anti-Uber" alliance. The alliance enabled the member companies to book rides on each other's platform, and Lyft users were able to use the same app when they traveled abroad to book a ride with China's Didi Chuxing, India's Ola and Southeast Asia's Grab. However, now its customers are prompted to download the member company's app when they are in another country--a change that suggests Lyft will soon follow through on its plan to expand into markets outside of the U.S.

            }

            Debug.WriteLine("List Refreshed");
        }
    }
}

The binding of the list works great and items show as expected (based on loadFromSource() being called in the constructor but the ICommand doesnt get called when I pull to refresh and I get the following error around the IsRefreshing binding:

[0:] Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Xaml.Diagnostics.BindingDiagnostics:
Warning: 'ListRefreshing' property not found on
'FireLearn.ViewModels.CategoryViewModel', target property:
'Microsoft.Maui.Controls.ListView.IsRefreshing'

I have tried on Android and iOs with the same result and am at a loss as to what I've missed here.

A: You can only bind to public properties
public bool ListRefreshing { get; set; }

Jesmyn Ward's memoir Men We Reaped is a difficult book, but a necessary and compelling one. As Ward says in the book's prologue, "telling this story is the hardest thing I've ever done." The book's importance becomes even clearer in the light of recent protests in Ferguson, Missouri, and in other cities across the United States, against the deaths of innocent, unarmed African American men. Ward has stories to tell of African American men she knew, some of whom she knew well and loved, who lost their lives at early ages in sad and tragic ways. One of these men was a beloved brother. She tells these stories with passion, leading readers to ponder the failings of a society that can produce such suffering.
My entire community suffered from a lack of trust: we didn't trust society to provide the basics of a good education, safety, access to good jobs, fairness in the justice system. And even as we distrusted the society around us, the culture that cornered us and told us we were perpetually less, we distrusted each other. We did not trust our fathers to raise us, to provide for us. Because we trusted nothing, we endeavored to protect ourselves, boys becoming misogynistic and violent, girls turning duplicitous, all of us hopeless.
Emerging from this context is Ward's own story, and interspersed between these autobiographical sections are chapters devoted to each of the lost men. Their chapters appear in reverse chronological order, beginning with the last death, which happened in June 2004, and ending with the first, her brother's, in October 2000. The effect of this structure is to end on the most moving, most powerful note, the place where her story and her brother's death converge. The picture that emerges from all these lives is one of pain, but also of deep love, both for family and friends and for place. As an adult, Ward has lived in many places, but eventually always headed back to her home community and is there now, as a Professor at Tulane University in New Orleans.
I looked at myself and saw a walking embodiment of everything the world around me seemed to despise: an unattractive, poor, Black woman. Undervalued by her family, a perpetual workhorse. Undervalued by society regarding her labor and her beauty. This seed buried itself in my stomach and bore fruit. I hated myself.
By the numbers, by all the official records, here at the confluence of history, of racism, of poverty, and economic power, this is what our lives are worth: nothing.
In the light of that realization, what, exactly, is a person supposed to do?
Ward finds a way to survive and to achieve the kind of success no one will argue with – that she won a National Book Award for her novel Salvage the Bones is just one proof of this – but she is haunted by those who did not make it. The deaths she describes are caused by drug overdoses, train and car crashes, shootings, and suicide. Some of the deaths are closely connected to the context of racism and poverty Ward evokes and some are less so, but all the stories have important things to say about the particular hardships of being black in America. Ward gives some statistics and history to create a context for her stories, but most of the book is about the details of people's lives. This is not the book to turn to for historical background, for research and statistics, or for theoretical arguments. Rather, it's valuable for the way it makes the statistics and the context come alive through the stories of particular people's lives and the way it makes us care about those lives on a personal level. It's a painful read at times, but valuable for anyone who wants to see American society for what it actually is, inequalities and injustices included.
Jesmyn Ward, Men We Reaped (November 2014; Bloomsbury USA) 978-1608197651, 272 pages, paperback.
I've been wanting to read this and Ward's other book, Salvage the Bones, for years, but I haven't been able to pull the trigger on them. This looks so extraordinarily painful — and I have a hard time reading about losing siblings — and Salvage the Bones, I think would hit too close to home for me, as I'm from Louisiana and was around when Katrina happened. But I love Ward's writing, and her anger seems extremely necessary.
Ah, I can see how Ward's books would be challenging given your experiences. Fortunately, they will be there when you are ready for them! She does write beautifully, I agree.

Pigeon River returning to free-flowing state

By Howard Meyerson
VANDERBILT — Anglers who like free-flowing streams got a chance to celebrate in September 2014 when the Song of the Morning Yoga Retreat dam was permanently opened on the Pigeon River allowing it to return to a free-flowing state.
It signaled a new era for those popular trout waters.
This year, there is a more to cheer about as phase II of the dam removal project moves forward this month.
Huron Pines, the Gaylordbased conservation organization overseeing the removal, recently announced its fundraising objectives have
been met.
"We hope to break ground the second week in October, said Lisha Ramsdell, the program director for Huron Pines. "All of the utilities will be disconnected and the downstream sand trap is in place to catch sediments when we remove the dam."
Deconstruction will cost $365,000, money Huron Pines raised from private donations, a $293,000 state Aquatic Habitat grant and a $5,000 donation from the Mullet Lake Area Preservation Society. The Pigeon River empties into Mullett Lake.
Once under water, meadows now grow surrounding the river which is cutting its way down to the historic channel. Photo by Howard Meyerson.
Upstream of the dam site, where river waters were once impounded, terrestrial life is emerging. Last year's drawdown restored about a mile of the river and its banks.
"The shrubs and grasses are already filling in," noted Ramsdell. "The trees will be a long time coming. But having it (the area upstream of the dam) stay open is not a bad thing. Those meadows (now appearing) are a highly productive area for trout."
Dam a longstanding problem
You may recall that Song of the Morning dam was a source of grief for anglers and natural resource managers. Three serious mishaps, most recently in 2008, resulted in massive silt spills that damaged downstream trout populations and habitat. The river runs through the Pigeon River Country State Forest which largely is managed for its wild characteristics.
Dam removal was called for in a settlement negotiated between the state and Golden Lotus Inc. which operates the yoga retreat. Golden Lotus was fined $120,000 to mitigate the effects of the 2008 silt spill that killed 450,000 trout.
The dam had been a source of consternation. It impounded waters that were heated by the sun. When released downstream it was too warm for trout.
"There were weekly and monthly events that killed fish," explained Tim Cwalinski, senior fisheries biologist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. "They would do peaking operations (releasing water). That made things very unstable. It was not just the
catastrophic events.
"The river now has good habitat and is getting better for temperature. The Pigeon had only one limiting factor — the dam. The water temperature is now taking care of itself."
Trout returning
Downstream trout populations are improving, according to Cwalinski. And trout now can move upstream, along with steelhead. The result of the steelhead migration and its effect on trout will be assessed, Cwalinski said. Cooler water temperatures should also mean better trout fishing much further downstream.
"The bottom line now is that there is no impact from (higher) water temperatures any more at the site," Cwalinski explained.
Cwalinski's technicians did trout surveys this year in an area five miles downstream from the dam. In 2008, there "were barely any fish," he said. "The numbers were really low. We're getting back to 1979 and 1980 levels for browns. And brook trout are showing a similar pattern. There were four times as many as in 2008."
Golden Lotus Inc. is developing a restoration plan, according to Ramsdell. Huron Pines, for now, has opted not do vegetative restoration work on the exposed banks.
"We have the opportunity to let Mother Nature do its work," Ramsdell said. "We'll let things take their course and determine what is needed upstream. We're working with Golden Lotus to put together a management plan for the corridor. A lot will focus on controlling invasive species.
"A lot of wood is being uncovered (in the river bottom). Once the dam is gone, a new bridge will be built (over the river). Right now, the river is constricted by the dam and we still have turbulent water coming through. Once it's gone, the velocity will slow and it will mimic the natural flow we see upstream."
The Pigeon River has long been a popular destination for anglers and paddlers. It was designated as a state WildScenic River in 1982. All 42 of its miles will now be unobstructed by manmade barriers. And that is something to celebrate.

Margery Guest says:
I'd love to see what this looks like when they remove the dam. Where is this?
Howard Meyerson says:
Hi Margery. It's north of Gaylord in the Pigeon River State Forest, northeast of Vanderbilt, the exit off I-75. It's pretty country and getting prettier.

Blurb: 'Watch your step. Keep your wits about you; you will need them…' So begins the irresistible voyage into the dark side of Victorian London. Amongst an unforgettable cast of low-lifes, physicians, businessmen and prostitutes, meet our heroine, Sugar, a young woman trying to drag herself up from the gutter any way she can. Be prepared for a mesmerising tale of passion, intrigue, ambition and revenge.
I hadn't heard of this book (I know, where had I been?!) until my work colleague was talking to me about it. It sounded great to me as I've always been a bit obsessed with Victorian London; one of my third year modules at university was Victorian Underworlds and I've even considered studying a Masters in Victorian Literature and Society. I thought that this book would play right into my love of this era and I wasn't disappointed.
Far from being a Victorian novel which follows the trifles of the upper classes, Faber does not hold back and drags the reader through the grimy, streets of London. There are no rose-tinted glasses applied here and I have to say, some of the descriptions are pretty shocking. Not that this is a bad thing by any means, as I think it's Faber's vibrant, in-depth descriptions that really brings this book to life. I can't remember a book that describes so vividly a street that I can feel the slimy cobblestones under my feet, I can smell beer and rotting wood and filth, I can picture the hustle and bustle of prostitutes, raggedy children and shady men selling their questionable wares.
When you first picked me up, you didn't fully appreciate the size of me, nor did you expect I would grip you so tightly, so fast. Sleet stings your cheeks, sharp little spits of it so cold they feel hot, like fiery cinders in the wind. Your ears begin to hurt. But you've allowed yourself to be led astray, and it's too late to turn back now.
It's a bizarre way to make the reader feel but it really works as a device to keep them engaged. This omniscient narrator allows the reader to jump from character to character at the start; the reader may be told about one character when another character walks pat them and the narrator will instruct you to follow them instead. I absolutely loved this way of progressing through the story but sadly it doesn't continue throughout. There is also less and less of this creepy, all-knowing narrator the further into the story you delve which is a real shame because it was the part I found most interesting. Although the characters were described in the most exquisite detail, I found it hard to connect to them and I think it was because I didn't really like any of them. The blurb states that Sugar, the prostitute, the mistress and later on the governess, is the story's heroine but to me she didn't feel like a fitting one. Sugar is the protagonist and we get a lot from her point of view but she is not a character that I really connected with. The reader discovers that she has had a tough upbringing (but not any tougher than the other poverty-stricken people you will come into contact with) but I found her ultimately selfish. Towards the end of the novel, there seems to be a genuine connection between Sugar and Sophie, the daughter of William who 'employs' Sugar as his mistress, but Sugar uses this trust to progress her own selfish means. The other characters did not make a huge impact on me either: William is moping, greedy and spineless, Agnes is naive and cold, Henry is falsely pious and Sophie comes across as quite emotionally unavailable. The only character I enjoyed was Emmeline Fox but I got the impression that the reader was not supposed to like her.
The events in the story were all fairly predictable, minus one death (which I won't disclose here!) and the ending. The ending came as a complete shock and I was furious with it! As I re-read the last page for the second time, I desperately flicked through the last empty pages in the book and shouted "WHAT?!", causing my cat to jump off my lap and run under the bed! The reason I was furious with it was because I honestly feel it was a bit of a cop-out. (WARNING: MAJOR ENDING SPOILER) For the novel to end with just about every loose end imaginable was completely unsatisfying. I felt like I had almost wasted reading this enormous book because it was not the ending I wanted; more than that, it was an ending nobody would want, expect, or be pleased with. Being a bit of a control freak, having such an abrupt ending made me uncomfortable. In some ways, I can understand why it could be argued that it was an interesting way to end but I was disappointed.
Overall, I really enjoyed the setting and wonderfully in-depth descriptions which completely transported me in to the story. On the other hand, it was a little slow, the characters were difficult to connect with and the plot left a little something to be desired. I would recommend this novel though to those who want to lose themselves in the frighteningly real streets of working-class Victorian London.
On a side note, I think Percy enjoyed it too!
This is written by the same guy that wrote the book I just reviewed "the book of strange new things". I'm not. A huge fan of the Victorian era and all that stuff, but was it more than that?
Yeah it's the same guy! The writing style was amazing but the plot suffered a bit for it I thought. It's very heavy on the Victorian era stuff though so it may not be up your street, plus it's over 800 pages!
Everyone else I know that's read it really enjoyed it. For me I felt that for such a long book it needed something bigger.
Great review. I read this a few months ago. It was SO heavy ( in weight I mean …lol) but it was such a special read. I had issues with it too especially with ending but overall a great book.
I rushed out to get The Apple hoping to get some answers and was bitterly disappointed 😦 have you read it?
I haven't read it, would you not recommend it?
Being completely honest, no I wouldn't recommend it. It kind of reminds me of when Friends finished and they did that awful Joey spin off show.
I think Michel Faber felt pressured into doing a follow up from all that I have read and it just felt like a very rushed, uninspired book.
He should have left it on a high note!

2023: You must remain non partisan, Buhari urges military, security agencies
By Abdallah el-Kurebe December 28, 2022 Updated: December 28, 2022 No Comments3 Mins Read
ASHENEWS reports that President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, urged the military and other security agencies to remain apolitical in their involvement in the provision security during the nation's 2023 general elections.
Buhari made the call at the inauguration of the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) Estate at Idu-Karmo in Abuja.
He said that security agencies would be engaged with various support and assistance in the elections, particularly with distribution and monitoring of classified materials and other logistics.
These, he warned, must be done professionally and in accordance with Standing Operation Procedures.
"I therefore urge you to remain apolitical and desist from behaviour that could bring disrepute to the agency and our country by compromising democracy," he said.
While commending the efforts of DIA in providing accommodation for its personnel, Buhari said that the efforts could be better understood by making the connection between shelter and productivity.
This, he said, underpinned his administration's vision for provision of shelter to improve performance as well as comfort for workers, families and communities.
"This commissioning ceremony further avails another opportunity to reaffirm my confidence in the competence, commitment and achievements of the Defence Intelligence Agency's giant strides achieved across the nation.
"I am confident that these new premises will yield enormous shelter dividends to the Defence Intelligence Agency staff, their families and to the host locality.
"The acquisition of this accommodation is a great leap forward, but the envisaged benefits would be aborted without diligent maintenance.
"I charge you all to ensure the sustenance of the high standard of this facility. This would help realise the value of the enormous resources committed to its acquisition.
"The agency's investment in staff accommodation complements our vision of achieving improved national security," he said.
He said the result across all theatres had so far been significantly rewarding.
On human capacity development, he said that DIA had intensified specialised training of staff, both locally and abroad, in different fields of intelligence needs, while its college had reviewed its curriculum to accommodate new developments in the intelligence field.
"The need to create a more conducive environment for staff at the defence sections and here in Nigeria has been on the front burner.
"Your Excellency has approved our requests for technical intelligence and advanced technological acquisitions.
"Most of the newly-procured technical equipment have been deployed and helping to address the security challenges across the country.
"Few others are at different stages of acquisition and installation. These equipment have contributed immensely to degrading the capabilities of the threat groups in the North East, North West, North Central and South East geopolitical zones.
"We intend to intensify efforts to achieve Mr President's promise of a more secured Nigeria before the end of this administration," he said.

Need My MS Infusion NOW!!
That worked well back when I first started getting the medicine pumped into my veins back in 2010. Was able to move around much better for the following 28 days. Now, the effect lasts maybe a week at most!
By 2014 a meager 3 weeks was a good run from an infusion. 2015 2 weeks was tops for retaining my strength. Now a week is the most I retain my muscle strength!
Suffer from a chronic disease known as Multiple Sclerosis My mother might have it, but will not let doctors diagnose her with it. Her sister (my aunt), and both her daughters(my cousins) have it. Her son and my two brothers do not have it. Only time will tell if my 2 nieces (my 2 brother's female kids) start showing signs of MS!
We think my grandma (mom's mother) may have had it, but since she was suffering from self induced cancers (cigarette smoker till the day she died), she didn't want to go through with any testing. The regular falling over her own feet should have set off warning signs!
At the start of this page shows me in my manual wheelchair. Am forced to rely on it to move around in the world today. Fortunately, still have the strength to transfer myself from the wheelchair to other places without too much difficulties. Transfer myself to my recliner, toilet, floor (how else could I play with our cat?), bed, you get the idea!
Gave up driving years before we moved into our house. Rely now on a service called Metro Mobility. They pick me up at the end of my wheelchair ramp which starts at our back door. The ramp was built for me by Ramps.org . They based our eligibility to have the ramp built completely free of charge on copies of our last two years income tax paperwork.
Since MS runs in my blood line, we decided not to have children. Why curse an innocent child with an incurable disease? We just settled for adopting pets. Have great kids in the neighborhood in which we live currently!
Do NOT spread chronic diseases if at all possible! If your desire for kids is too much, there are plenty of children up for adoption already. Since I am confined to a wheelchair, taking care of a child would be more than I could handle. Also posses a short temper when faced with imperfections. Face it, kids make mistakes, I'd blow up over their messes to quickly!

The Murder of Jo Cox
Posted on June 21, 2016 by leslie
Allan Pond smells a rat
No, what follows is not some mad conspiracy theory. A mother of two small children was murdered in the street of a quiet Yorkshire town. An appalling and shocking event. It is not the event but the accounting of it, the commentary, the outpouring of grief which has a synthetic and frankly nauseous feel to it. That may sound heartless, yet the story that we are being told is not the account of an event and the understandable shock that follows from it, but the creation of a very convenient narrative which is both troubling but also extremely dangerous.
Not having heard of Jo Cox before the tragic news of her killing was reported there is no particular reason why one should have done. Most people have never heard of 90% of MP's. Politicians rarely cross the paths of ordinary people, less so today than maybe years ago when public meetings and hustings and canvassing for votes on the doorstep was the norm rather than the rarereties that they have become today. But the media's transformation of an obscure, though undoubtedly conscientious and by all accounts likeable, MP into a liberal icon is wondrous to behold. She seems in these accounts to have been a combination of Mother Theresa and Winston Churchill. Her sister described her as a 'perfect person' and grief of course excuses that exaggeration. But of course none of us is perfect. We are all flawed. The troubling aspect is that her promotion to a secular sainthood seems to be part of a much wider and far more convenient narrative especially at the present time. Let us try to deconstruct this narrative; to show its architecture as well as its underlying purpose; partly by pointing to some of the holes and contradictions in the story as told; clever and subtle though in many ways it is, it is certainly not seamless. It uses the death of a person to try to make a political point certainly but that is not the only reason why one finds this narrative worrying, indeed dangerous. It is because it seems designed to bolster the contemporary mood of pious liberal totalitarianism that is increasingly infecting our public discourse and silencing dissenting and contrarian voices.
First the events themselves. A woman was stabbed and shot by a man outside a library and she subsequently died from her injuries. That much is agreed on by everyone. After that everything becomes cloudy. Of course in any event, especially a fast moving and frightening one, eye witness accounts will often vary and sometimes flatly contradict each other. Instant recall can be difficult and memory can play strange tricks. Events can become distorted, telescoped, transposed; possibly even imagined. Allowances have to be made and the police are expert at sifting out the false, or, more benignly, distorted memories from the true. Original accounts in the immediate aftermath, as reported, suggested that an argument had developed outside the library between two people, one of whom was the alleged killer. The commotion was heard inside the library which caused the MP to come outside to see what was going on. It was said by some witnesses that she tried to intervene; some mentioning that one of the two men was already lying on the ground having been stabbed and was now being kicked in the head by the other, and then the assailant turned on her and stabbed, then shot her.
This was the first account that was active late on the same day that she was attacked. But even at this early stage some contradictory elements were already present and working their yeast to feed a wider, more tendentious, narrative line. One witness at least claimed that he heard the killer, as he assaulted the MP, shout either 'Put Britain First' or 'Britain First'. Now these are clearly not the same. 'Put Britain First' is a general statement of intent that could mean a number of things; put Britain before the EU, or before foreigners, or before political party advantage, or indeed a whole host of things only known to the mind of the person uttering such a slogan. 'Britain First' could have the same meaning but was almost immediately taken to refer to an organisation with the same name which immediately was linked to 'the far right' and speculatively to 'the BNP' and 'former' members.
Britain First is an anti-Islamist group that stands for a strongly unionist platform. It is a perfectly legal organisation. But the link immediately served the purpose of contextualising this attack as political and not just that but as 'right wing' political and therefore as obviously extreme, rather than a motiveless action by a disturbed individual.
Other eye witnesses denied that they had heard the alleged attacker utter anything at all. However, the hare had already been set running in these first few minutes of broadcast reporting of the incident, that this was obviously an attack by a right-wing nutcase. To set up this particular reading further interpretative and elaborative work had to be done and this indeed was soon put in place. The initial account, of two men arguing, perhaps fighting, and the MP coming out to remonstrate or to help calm the situation that soon tragically escalated, still has the plausible ring of truth to it. So many times things like this do happen.
Very early on, while this account was still the dominant narrative, it was embroidered on, again by the media reports of 'what an eye witness had said', that one of the two men arguing had been a muslim and that it was the muslim that was the one on the ground being kicked and that the MP had gone to his aid. So now we have a white man attacking a muslim. Although this quickly disappeared from other accounts, it clearly was the one informing that evening's Channel 4 News coverage since their reporter at the scene Matt Frei had cobbled together an instant panel that included an immam from the local Mosque and the tone of his questioning was along the lines of 'has this harmed community relations' ? 'can community relations be healed ?' and so forth, thus framing the story as an attack on muslims as well as a murder of an MP. Though this partly reflects a curious Channel 4 obssession, noticeable in much of its news coverage, that muslims are constantly the victims of white 'racism', the muslim man quickly disappeared from the account, yet it set off another hare that was weaved into the narrative as time went on.
We shall return to the developing creation of the wider narrative in a moment. What about the alleged killer? Although his political motivation was already up and running it had to lie alongside more inconvenient information (for the eventual narrative) about the man's mental state and indeed other aspects of his character. He was clearly an emotionally disturbed person but unlike some he was very honest about his condition and had indeed sought help on a number of occasions in the past. He had become a volunteer in a local conservation charity and had found gardening helped with his feelings of depression. People living near him who knew him described him as a quiet but friendly man. He had helped Asian children learn English. No one who knew him had heard him express any political views whatsoever. This was clearly proving awkward for those pushing the right-wing nutter angle. A reporter directly asked a lady who knew him well whether she had ever heard him make racist comments. 'No, never' was her reply.
Now that of course proves nothing either way. It merely points to a tension in the attempt to spin a certain line that was already beginning to emerge on the day of the event; that this was a politically motivated murder; an act of 'terrorism' carried out by a white 'racist'. This remained the dominant theme, though soon it was underpinned by melodic variations that we will return to shortly. Now the alleged killer could of course have been all these things I suppose; a kindly, quiet man, suffering from bouts of depression, who liked to help Asian children learn English and old people carry their shopping and who had some right-wing views. And why not? None of us are one-dimensional, we all have depths some unplumbed even by us. Is there any reason why right wing views should not be allied to a quiet, kindly nature, or is it only the left who are kind? Is helping Asian children learn in contradiction to being patriotic? Does one not actually imply the other, that we want those who have come to live among us feel welcome, learn our ways and speak our language ? And suffering from depression can strike anyone irrespective of their political views or whether they have any at all. So though none or all of these factors might be relevant, we have no way of knowing without his direct testimony why the alleged killer did what he did. And even his testimony itself might be contradictory. When depressed we are often confused, unsure of what our feelings or motives actually are. But none of that caution stops the rumour mills or the instant rush to judgement which our 24 hour news cycle now demands.
It has to be fed and so we return to the unfolding narrative, now some hours and into days after the sad events themselves. And now the story changes significantly as some new characters are introduced onto the stage to replace the old ones. Enter first an American organisation called the Southern Poverty Law Centre, who reported that the alleged killer had purchased various Nazi pamphlets, subscribed to an obscure pro-apartheid magazine, and acquired a manual on how to make a home made gun – and they sent the media copies of the receipts to prove it. These purchases had been made about fifteen years ago. How they came by this information – presumably they didn't sell these items to the killer directly themselves! – remained unexplained and the media didn't seem that interested to try and find out. However it effectively secured a central narrative pin, the right-wing extremist nature of the crime.
And then by Sunday morning the narrative had taken a rather new line in terms of the actual events themselves. The stabbed man, no longer a muslim, was in fact a retired miner and working class Labour Party supporter who had been passing and went to the aid of the MP rather than vice-versa. Something of a local hero in fact because thirty years ago he had risked his own life rescuing colleagues from a pit flood in which seven miners died. But the muslim angle, still clearly central and necessary for the narrative to do its wider work, was now provided by the hijab wearing (a very necessary detail this obviously) personal assistant to the MP who went to her aid. The story now is now that far from coming out of the library to calm an altercation between two fighting men, the MP had not even got to the library at all, but was apparently ambushed as she got out of her car which was being driven by her muslim p.a. who attempted to fight off the knife and gun wielding assailant with her handbag and thankfully remained uninjured. This account was provided to the media by her father, a former Labour councillor in the town, as his daughter was still in shock and unable to provide a statement.
And now the circus is in full swing. Abroad Angela Merkel gets in on the act and blames the referendum debate for the killing, soon copied in foreign press coverage, but this merely is rear guarding the column of commentators already drawing the same lesson here. Campaigning in the referendum is suspended as a mark of respect. David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn do a joint photo opportunity in the town to demonstrate that 'extremism will not defeat democracy' and Cameron and the Liberals then announce they will not contest the bye election in the dead MP s constituency, which is surely a denial of democracy. (When Ian Gow was blown up by an IRA bomb in the 1990s, the opposition parties contested that by election and in due course the government lost the seat). Memorial services and vigils are held up and down the country, flags flutter at half mast, and tears are shed and hands are wrung over the sorry nature of the tone of debate that has characterised politics, especially the EU referendum recently and people talk about a change of mood and a new, kinder, saintlier political discourse in future.
One does not want to be cynical but isn't this all a bit too convenient ? The spatch cock construction of the narrative line, the changing cast of characters and the transformation of a seemingly random act of violence into a premeditated political assassination has served a wider purpose than merely to slow the momentum of the 'leave' campaign in the referendum although that was clearly the hope. The wider purpose is to demonise all those who do not sign up to a liberal view of the world and to depict those who oppose the EU as 'racist', extreme, swivel eyed loons who hate foreigners.
The killing of Jo Cox was an awful act and a real tragedy. She wanted us to stay in the EU. I want to leave. But the many many thousands if not millions of other 'leave' supporters would not dream of murdering their opponents. To even suggest that this act of violence might be motivated by one side or other in the debate is despicable. The outpouring of grief may well be genuine, though it seems to demonstrate a level of emotional incontinence. Mary Riddell in The Telegraph called the killing of the MP an 'atrocity' which is absurd. As George Orwell perceptively noted many years ago, when we abuse and inflate language in this way we are left defenceless and unable to name the evils of this world. And one of the evils of this world is a liberal bigotry that when its back is against the wall will opportunistically use almost any event, even the murder of a mother, to serve its cause.

1 Response to The Murder of Jo Cox
Thomas Moon says:
Throughout the seventies and eighties, when the IRA was committing acts of mass murder that really could be described as 'atrocities', politicians and the BBC were very careful to stress that Sinn Fein had no connection with the IRA and to praise those who worked for political change through the ballot box rather than the bullet.
Contrast that with the present when, after any attack of an ethnic minority member (or, now, white politician) by a white person, politicians and the media cannot wait to find some spurious link between the perpetrator and a 'right-wing, extremist' party, even if all they can say is something as vague as (for example) he is 'thought to be a BNP supporter'.

For the record, it was about 8 o'clock in the evening on Tuesday 29th September and 4 of us were a mohito into a discussion of WebMission 09, which is where the story should start.
Late in 2008, we got a request from the London Technology Fund to provide a speaker at short notice for their annual awards ceremony. Ian Pearson had been called away to a parliamentary event but they wanted a link to Government. Iain Gray was already committed so I agreed to go. This was in the days when asking who in the audience had heard of the Technology Strategy Board and being disappointed was quite normal, so I gave our elevator pitch before talking a bit about the need for recognition and support for early stage companies and then handing out a prize or two.
A few days later, I received an e-mail from James Lawn of Polecat about WebMission. Although the open invitation was to speak at the launch of WebMission 09, there was an implicit offer to join the sponsorship of the mission itself. I met with James and his business partner Bronwyn Kunhardt a week or so later and agreed both to speak and add to the funding. More importantly we agreed that Zoe Lock, our lead on Information and Communications Technology, would be one of the judges and actually go on the mission to meet the 20 companies and better understand where they were in commercial space and what we could do to help them. The actual mission took place at the end on March and we got real value, both from the UK companies we went with and the US companies and organisations they interacted with. This was the second WebMission James and Bronwyn had run and we became firm fans of the approach.
Meanwhile, at the end of 2008, our Governing Board had probed us very hard on how we would adjust our general approach to supporting UK businesses in the light of the economic downturn. We analysed our then current portfolio of funding, and our plans for future competitions and activities and tried to identify those areas that might be hit quite hard during the recession but which we believed would (and could) need to come out of it strongly. One area that fitted this set of criteria was what was commonly known as "cleantech". This covered everything from our work on low carbon vehicles and low impact buildings, through our support in the area of energy generation and supply to that in increasing resource efficiency. We discussed our analysis with the Governing Board in January 2009 and refocused our programme for that year into these areas, together with life sciences and the digital economy. Through 2009 therefore, we were very aware of the business opportunities that were emerging in the cleantech area and making connections to a thriving community of companies with great ideas and real potential. All they needed was support and connections to the markets - both those that were in the doldrums because of the recession and those that seemed to be holding up well.
These two threads of thinking and experience came together that evening in September 2009. After discussing and celebrating the success of WebMission 09, we came on to discuss what to do next. James and Bronwyn started by saying that they thought the WebMission process was now established and could effectively be franchised to the sponsors and were considering applying the same approach to another area. We all thought that clean technologies (in the broadest sense) would be a suitable focus for such an approach and we (the Technology Strategy Board) agreed to be the anchor sponsor.
The next day we set out on the path to make it happen. The collaboration with UK Trade and Investment and Enterprise UK that had characterised the two WebMissions was quickly established. We were also fortunate that John Elkington of Volans was willing to join the team. Early on we discovered that there was going to be a Cleantech Forum in San Francisco at the end of February 2010 – which meant that we had a month less to make it all happen. We were organised enough to launch the process at the London Stock Exchange on 17th November, and rode a very supportive wave of media interest to get the word out to the various communities we were targeting. Although we did not have a lot of time, by the time the competition phase closed in mid January we had 138 entries to consider. We assembled an independent assessment panel and carried out the difficult task of getting down to 20 companies. We announced these on Monday 1st February.
That evening, at BP Alternative Energy's headquarters on the 5th floor of County Hall, we heard from 15 of the successful companies what they did and why they wanted to go on the mission. It was an awe-inspiring evening. The breadth of the company's market interests, their passion for their product and the enormous sense of fun and commitment were palpable. Iain and I took the train back west afterwards still fizzing. Since that evening, we have lost one company, but have been working hard to finalise the details of the week in San Francisco, the housekeeping issues and the plans to keep everyone up to speed with the activities the companies will be going through in the US. We have little doubt that the companies that are going are globally competitive, that there will be many opportunities in the US for them to meet potential customers, potential backers and definite competitors. The mission, which sets out on Saturday 20th February, promises to be a blast in many ways and I am mildly saddened that I passed up the opportunity to go. Maybe next year?

33 People You See at Every Bar on St. Patrick's Day

Dan Morris/Thrillist
St. Patrick's Day is upon us -- our annual opportunity to pay respect to the patron saint of Ireland. And to honor this man and his anti-snake agenda, churches across America fill with people seeking quiet reflection and a little knowledge of Irish tradition. Ok, no. Wait. Actually, everybody dresses up in extremely stereotypical Irish attire and hits the bar to pinch strangers, scream, do fake accents, and drink gallons of green beer. Chances are that even if you loathe it, you're going out for St. Patrick's Day. And when you do, you're almost guaranteed to see these people. Keep an eye on Erin.
The 21 Best Irish Pubs in America
The Actual Irish Dude
He would've been at this bar anyway, and is genuinely cool with people co-opting his culture on St. Patrick's Day. Mainly because everybody buys him a beer because he has a red beard. But also, for pride.
The Dude Critiquing Guinness Pours
There are 600 people in here, so you'll have to pardon the bartender if the cascade is off, or if the shamrock stamp isn't as pretty as the one your barista put on your Irish cream latte this morning.
The Glitterati
She's covered from hair to pinky toe in green spray-on glitter, and so too shall be some (lucky?) make-out partner at the end of the night. She looks like the unfortunate product of a tryst between a Twilight vampire and She-Hulk. It's not as appealing as it sounds.
The Proud DJ
His "Shamrock-ed Megamix" includes a mashup of "Shipping Up to Boston" and "Jump Around" that sneaks in three lines of Boondock Saints dialogue before the beat even drops! He is ON IT.
Your Dad Who Went Out for Smokes 17 Years Ago and Never Came Back
Papa?
The Pincher
Like a sniper, he bears down on anyone not wearing green and pinches them. He's been drinking for a while, mainly because HR reprimanded him earlier in the day. He came here alone, and will leave that way too.
The Non-Participant
She refuses to wear any green, but her friends dragged her out anyway, and she's been drinking just to tolerate them. She's about to get booted from the bar for punching the pincher, even though he deserved it. Secretly she's relieved to be spending the rest of the evening with Netflix. Maybe Angela's Ashes will be on.
The Winking 'Irish' Hipster
Although participating in anything so co-opted by the mainstream is usually unthinkable, it isn't if you do it ironically! So he's just kidding about his Dollar Store Irish buttons and perfectly distressed vintage Pogues tee, and also kidding about the green beer he's drinking, and the fun he's having, and, well, actually it's kind of nihilistic and sad.
The Ruddy-Faced Irish Endurance Drinker
He's been here since the bar opened. Hell, he might have been here since it closed last night. And somehow, despite all laws of physics and human anatomy, he is stone sober. He can prove it by quoting Yeats -- but only if you buy him another double.
The Fake Fightin' Irishwoman
She claims that she went to Notre Dame, and once made out with the leprechaun who runs out onto the field during games. But she actually just went to St. Mary's, and once "experimented" with one of the Belles. Either way, it was a magical sophomore year.
The Bead Queen
To her, St. Patrick's Day is just Mardi Gras with more cabbage and fewer brass bands.
Your Friend From Boston
He can't stop complaining about how he wishes he was in Southie, because Southie really knows how to do St. Paddy's right, and you all drink like a bunch (loses train of thought and goes on 10 minute anti-Yankees rant). Eventually, he simultaneously wins and loses a fight... with himself.
Your Friend From Chicago
He can't stop complaining about how he wishes he was in Chicago, because Chicago really knows how to do St. Paddy's right, and you all drink like a bunch (loses train of thought and starts defending deep-dish pizza to no one in particular). He has told you about how they dye the river green seven times, despite your frequent insistence that, yes, you have seen The Fugitive. Eventually, he simultaneously wins and loses a fight... with gravity.
Some Poor, Short Fellow
Look, when you're under 5 feet, 4 inches and out on St. Patrick's Day, you're really asking for it when you choose not to shave that red chinstrap beard.
The Shirtless Guy Whose Shamrock Tattoo Is FINALLY Paying Off
Though he still regrets getting it on the small of his back.
Irish Elton John
He's 45. He's fun! And he's wearing enough glitter and green accessories to be spotted from space. He has been at your table for an hour and hasn't figured out that you've never met.
Random Dickensian Orphans
Nobody knows how they snuck into the bar, but they've already stolen at least five wallets -- and your heart!
The Desperate Bartender Who Insists He Asked Murph for the Day Off
... at least a month ago.
The Guy Quoting Good Will Hunting in an Irish Accent
Even weirder than his misremembering Matt Damon as an Irish guy is the fact that he's been quoting Robin Williams' speech about his wife's farts all day.
The Guy Ordering Irish Car Bombs
That might have flown in your college bar, but probably not in the most authentic Irish pub in town. Murph'll oblige you, if only to get your guard down. Then he will murder you. He really shouldn't be here today.
The U2 Stan
Yes, Brian, we understand that U2 is Ireland's most prolific modern musical act and arguably the biggest band in the world, and that they've done more to help the sociopolitical landscape than most elected officials. But no amount of screaming is going to get this quartet of traditional musicians the bar hired to follow "The Fields of Athenry" with "Sunday Bloody Sunday," so maybe save your breath for something else... like explaining to your bartender why you made a donation to the One Campaign instead of tipping him.
11 things you didn't know about Lucky Charms
12 things you didn't know about Guinness
The Clearly Not-Irish Girl Claiming Irishness
While we appreciate the effort put into finding an "Irish for a Day" sash at Walgreens, you're allowed to drink today without pretending to be, like, 1/6th Dubliner on your Mom's side.
St. Patrick?
Nope. That's the whiskey playing tricks on you. And those aren't snakes running out of the bar when you scream at them. They're potential dates.
He decided to pack his own food coloring, just in case the bar didn't have green beer. What he didn't anticipate was bumping into people in a crowded bar, leaving green spots soaking through the pocket of his new jeans.
The Girl Who Took a Step-Dancing Class
It's the one day a year when that step-dancing class her mom made her take at age 6 will finally pay off. And by "pay off," we mean she's going to have to pay for all those drinks she knocked over.
The Uncomfortable British Guy
"Yeah, um, it's not like that anymore, guys."
Some Creepy Old Longshoreman
He looks like he stepped out of a Scooby-Doo rogues gallery, and has been perched at the bar all night, telling strange tales of the sea. You can try to buy him a round to quiet him down, but it merely stokes his festering anger toward Poseidon.
Get it? Her name is Erin, and she's been screaming "Erin go Bragh" since she woke up.
Daniel Day-Lewis? I Think? It's Late.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know he retired after Phantom Thread. But did he? Because that older, well-dressed dude in the corner definitely looks like he made his own shoes, and the way he's talking and gesturing definitely looks familiar. Maybe he's preparing for a role as a normal guy who looks like a community college professor who hangs out in a local bar on the most ridiculous night of the year. Look at how he's slightly slumped over: The look on his face conveys years of career ups and downs, loves lost, and dark yearnings. His slurred speech is a mirror into his soul. Damn, he's great. That's totally him.
The Guy Who Keeps Trying, and Failing, To Get a Sing-Along Going
His voice has grown hoarse, his face has gone pallid. But dammit, he's not leaving until at least eight people join him in a rousing rendition of "Tom Dooley." Actually, he is leaving, in a headlock and against his will. Just like Tom Dooley!
The Couple Who Really Should've Broken Up Last Weekend
Deep down they know it's been over for a while, but it took some day drinking and cry fighting in a bar while wearing novelty shamrock tees to finally break them apart for good. Or at least until April Fool's Day.
The Friends Who Really Should've Hooked Up Last Weekend
Deep down they know they've been into each other for a while, but it took some green Jell-O shots and Van Morrison sing-a-longing to finally get them together. Had they gone for it earlier it would not have happened in front of several dozen friends, strangers, and bar employees.
The Guy Desperately Looking for His Lost Friends
Their phones are dead. His phone is dead. The only friend he'll find tonight is a late-night burrito. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Keywords: STEC, multiplex PCR, meat, feces, antimicrobial.
This study was conducted to investigate the presence of shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and the possibility of carrying rfbE gene and H7 flagellar on meat, liver, and stool samples collected from Jakarta Province of Indonesia. A total of 51 samples collected from meat, liver, and stool of slaughtered cattle from qurban festival were tested using conventional culture and multiplex PCR methods. STEC non O157 were detected in meat (5.3%) and stool (8.3%) with one isolate from stool carried H7 flagellar. However, all isolates were lacking of rfbE gene. In antimicrobial susceptibility tests, the STEC isolates showed antibiotic resistance to erythromycin and oxacillin. Overall, the result shows that meat and liver of this origin activity represents a potential risk to human health.

When I was 12 years old, I hacked into a local company's computer system. They found out, and instead of getting angry, they asked if I'd come work for them. I gained technical mentors at a young age which helped shape my viewpoint that information security is all about exploring unintended consequences.
As a society, when we build anything from software to spaceships, we're telling machines how to behave. Computers do what they're told to do, not what we intend them to do. We are engineering complexity so fast that code is created rapidly for machine learning, self-driving cars, and even airplanes. What are the unintended consequences? Our job as security professionals is to point out these vulnerabilities and identify the hackers who are trying to exploit them.
Most anti-malware and anti-virus companies are structured in a way that rewards chasing threats against widely used software. They are financially incentivized to go after large threats to maintain a large client base. And while widespread vulnerabilities are indeed a concern, each of us as individuals are much more likely to be hit by smaller everyday threats. It's the email phishing, attachments loaded with malicious links, and increasingly sophisticated attacks we need to work harder to prevent.
So how can we incentivize quicker threat detection for not only the widespread vulnerabilities, but the smaller and equally malicious attacks that happen each and every day? Decentralization can allow the information security industry to not only be thousands of times more efficient, but to change the very economics of threat detection.
When I led Narf Industries, a security research and development company, we built narrowly-focused solutions to security problems but had no way to widely distribute them to protect a greater user base. But with a decentralized threat intelligence and anti-virus platform, enterprises and end-users can benefit from security experts worldwide who are actively working to protect them from emerging threats.
Incentives are key to this. With PolySwarm, we enlist IT teams and antivirus software companies to spot new files, software, and documents that need to be scanned, and distribute them to a network of researchers around the world. The network can quickly build micro-engines to tackle emerging threats, and be rewarded in cryptocurrency.
Tokens are used for incentives, but the payments don't just go to researchers. The system requires micro-engines to stake tokens on its assessment of the digital products it scans, proving a researcher's confidence in their assertion. Every researcher who makes a correct assessment gets a share of the fee paid for the scan, along with the Nectar that was staked by micro-engines that assessed the digital product incorrectly.
Blockchain technology has the ability to decentralize cybersecurity and redefine its entire economic structure. When you consider threat intelligence, it's easy to forget that we're talking about billions of emails, attachments, and other artifacts that we click each day. By creating decentralized solution to incentivize more effective cybersecurity, we can build a safer future for the digital age.
