A major segment of the global media is behaving in a manner that makes terrorism and mass killings more likely rather than less likely. They enable and encourage terrorist slaughter of innocents by providing a propaganda bonanza for the terrorist cause. Without the gain, there would be less incentive for the horrific behavior.
This is true now with Israeli defensive measures against Hizbullah terrorism, and has been true for many years, especially during the long Arab-Israeli conflict. Not enough attention has been paid to media manipulation. It is long overdue that this be exposed and the media be confronted and held accountable.
The general public derives its perception of the wider reality beyond direct personal experience via the media. When the major media all sing a similar tune, the public generally assumes it is being honestly informed. The internet and talk radio often challenge the major media, but not everyone has the time or interest to become well-informed on the many issues and sort things out, especially when the alternative media also present conflicting views of reality.
The major media can spin and color stories to suit their agenda. They can rile up the public over certain issues or hide vital information. When the media riles up the public, governments can feel pressured to act in one direction or the other. All this conflicts with honest reporting.
A prime example involves a front page photo in the New York Times. An angry Israeli policeman is seen brandishing his police club while standing over a bloodied man on the ground. The Times caption reads: "An Israeli policeman and a Palestinian on the Temple Mount."
The photo suggests a Palestinian so badly beaten that blood was running down his face. Publishing such an inflammatory photo had to generate extreme outrage against Israel, and the Times had to know it.
But the caption was effectively a lie.
The victim was a Jew beaten by Arabs. The Israeli policeman was defending the victim. When the Times was forced to retract, they did it grudgingly and then added another lie to the story until public outrage forced them to come clean with the real story.
The action of the Times ("All the news that's fit to print") was so outrageous that a media watchdog organization was born in response. Please go here and see "the photo that started it all" on the top right. Then read the details of how the New York Times prints 'all the news that fits.' There is no mention that anyone at the Times was punished. If the once-prestigious New York Times can be so deceptive, then we are now in a new era of extreme media dishonesty and we must be extra vigilant.
In the Arab-Israeli conflict, Israel's Arab enemies long ago developed an effective way to promote anti-Jewish terror and win the public relations battle in the process. Yasser Arafat early on employed the tactic of shooting at Jews from behind Arab women and children, who were used as shields. The Israelis were caught in a dilemma. Not to fire back meant being helpless to respond to the ongoing slaughter of Jews, but to fire back meant unavoidable loss of Arab civilians, including children. And that, with a complicit media conveniently present (by appointment?) to see and film, and later to edit. The resulting story would emphasize the retaliation over the provocation, making it seem as if Israel was deliberately targeting Arab civilians. Reality would be a product manufactured to suit.
This tactic required the willingness of Arab leaders to deliberately sacrifice many Arab civilians in the process of attacking Israel. Many Arabs have long been brainwashed via their schools, their media and their mosques to see Israelis, and even all Jews, as monsters bent on their destruction. This made it easier to keep them compliant with these tactics. Also, any Arabs who objected could be killed.
In Lebanon today, Hizbullah is employing the same tactic. Their rocket attacks often originate from within civilian areas, which will assure civilian casualties. They, and their supporters, accuse Israel of deliberately targeting civilians. If Israel really wanted to target civilians, then it would not take a full week of intensive bombing to kill 250 people. Many in the media have now joined the chorus of "disproportionate response" and "targeting of civilians." They call, in effect, for a one-sided ceasefire, wherein Israel ceases and Hizbullah remains free to ?fire?.
It would help if Israel and her friends would make it clear to all that Israel only targets sources of aggression. But the media, by their skewed reporting, is making it politically profitable for Hizbullah to locate rocket launchers in the midst of civilian areas. This reinforces the Hizbullah tactics and increases the civilian death toll.
1. It makes great efforts to not attack innocent civilians.
2. It will target every rocket launcher, no matter where it is located, and it is the responsibility of Hizbullah and the Lebanese to remove civilians from that area.
It would also help if the American Jewish leadership would finally wake up and show the complicity and culpability of the US media in the killing of Lebanese civilians. This would at least take the political and public relations profit out of terrorism.

Q: Understanding a change of measure in an integral I am following a set of notes that says the following:
Suppose $\mu$ is a measure on some measure space $X$, and $f: X \rightarrow X$ is a continuous function. Then $f(\mu)$ is a measure defined as follows
$$f(\mu)(E) = \mu(f^{-1}(E)), \quad \forall E \subset X.$$
Moreover, for any continuous and bounded $\phi: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, then
$$\int \phi(g)\,df(\mu)(g) = \int\phi(f(g))\,d\mu(g).$$
I am having trouble understanding how these two integrals are equivalent on a formal level, and also what this result is saying on an intuitive level.

«Жа́жда» — советский чёрно-белый художественный фильм о Великой Отечественной войне. Снят в  году режиссёром Евгением Ташковым.
Сюжет фильма основан на реальных событиях, участником которых был сценарист Григорий Поженян.

Сюжет

Одесса снабжается водой из реки Днестр. Водонасосная станция находится в Беляевке (в фильме указана Ивановка). Длина водовода — около 40 километров.

В 1941 году в ходе боевых действий Одесса была окружена, Беляевка захвачена. Город остался почти без воды, её выдача была резко ограничена.

Для того чтобы дать городу воду, был сформирован специальный отряд матросов-смельчаков, которые, проникнув в тыл врага и захватив насосную станцию в Беляевке, включили подачу воды и некоторое время удерживали позиции.

Thanatopraxie oder Thanatopraxis (von griech. θανατος thanatos "Tod", siehe Thanatos, Gott des Todes in der griechischen Mythologie; πραξια praxia "Handwerk") umfasst alle Tätigkeiten im Bestattungswesen, die über eine hygienische Totenversorgung hinaus nötig sind, um die ästhetisch und hygienisch einwandfreie Aufbahrung eines Verstorbenen zu gewährleisten.
Eine thanatopraktische Behandlung vereinfacht den Hinterbliebenen die pietätvolle Abschiednahme am offenen Sarg.

Im engeren Sinn gehören zur Thanatopraxie beispielsweise die optische Wiederherstellung von Unfallopfern und die vorübergehende Konservierung einer Leiche zum Zwecke ihrer  Überführung ins Ausland oder ihrer öffentlichen Aufbahrung im offenen Sarg über einen längeren Zeitraum hinweg. Wissenschaftliche Grundlage der Thanatopraxie ist die Thanatologie, Ausführende sind Bestatter, die zusätzlich qualifizierte "Thanatopraktiker" oder "praktische Thanatologen" sind.

Als Aufgabengebiete der Thanatopraxie können insbesondere gezählt werden:

 die Wiederherstellung des ästhetischen Erscheinungsbildes des Verstorbenen durch spezielle Kosmetik, Restaurierung oder Rekonstruktion, besonders dann, wenn der Körper durch Gewalteinwirkung, Unfalltod, Krankheit, Verfärbung, außergewöhnlich schnelle Verwesung, Suizid entstellt ist.
 die Verzögerung der Verwesung des Leichnams durch Einbalsamierung (Modern Embalming). Dabei wird das Blut durch einen verwesungshemmenden Wirkstoff ersetzt, der meist auf Formalin basiert.
 die Herstellung von Totenmasken des Verstorbenen.

Three more suspects were arrested Wednesday for their roles in the toppling of a 93-year-old Confederate monument outside an old North Carolina courthouse, officials said.
Dante Strobino, 35, and Ngoc Loan Tran, 24, both of Durham, were arrested during a court hearing for the first suspect busted in Monday's demonstration, according to the Durham County Sheriff.
A short time later, the sheriff announced the arrest of fourth suspect Peter Gilbert, 39, of Durham.
The sheriff's department announced earlier that they were executing search warrants and additional arrests were coming. Video footage was taken by deputies as the statue was taken down.
Co-defendant Takiyah Thompson was arrested Tuesday after outing herself as the person who climbed the Confederate Soldiers Monument and tied a rope around the neck of the bronze soldier.
Thompson, 22, a student at North Carolina Central University, was in court for a Wednesday hearing where Strobino and Tran showed up — and were locked up.
Other demonstrators yanked the statue, dedicated in 1924, off its pedestal and onto the ground. Authorities did not elaborate on the roles of the new suspects in the incident.
According to the sheriff's department, all four suspects were charged with felony counts of participating in a riot and inciting a riot along with a pair of misdemeanor chargess.
Tran spoke out about the statue takedown on Tuesday night, only hours before his arrest.
"We know that the only thing that's going to take down these Confederate monuments, as we saw in Durham last night, is organized people's power," Tran said at a news conference.
Many of the protesters involved in taking down the statue belonged to the Workers World Party.
The assault on the statue came after a weekend of violence in Charlottesville, Va., set off by a rally attended by white supremacists.

The Shake It Off singer has taken her icy platinum blonde down a few notches for a super wearable honey shade.
When Taylor Swift bleached her ashy blonde bob platinum in April this year, we have to admit we were a bit surprised. Swifty isn't known for massively changing up her style, so a full-on Kim Kardashian-style bleach job was a shocker. It was all for her Vogue US cover, of course, but Taylor seemed to like the look, keeping her hair uber light for the summer months.
After she broke up with Clavin Harris (waaaah) and got it on with Tom Hiddleston (wooo) Taylor appeared to re-embrace her more natural look, returning to a darker blonde shade. Her country-girl curls even made a reappearance! Bye-bye straighteners, purple shampoo and Calvin. Hello au naturel Tay-Tay.
Read: What Did Tom Hiddleston Say About His Relationship With Taylor Swift?
The dark blonde might have been to give her follicles a well-deserved break. Even with the help of hair wonder product Olaplex, bleach can be very stressful for hair. And poor Taylor doesn't need any more stress in her life.
Rumours have been swirling that her recent hot 'n' heavy and very public relationship with Tom might be on the rocks. The pair were suddenly very much an item, flaunting their love for the world. Tom even wore a "I <3 T.S." vest and thus the moniker Hiddleswift was born.
Could a rocky patch be the reason Taylor has upped her blonde again? Spotted out and about in NYC at the end of August wearing a cute playsuit over a tee, Taylor's shoulder-skimmiung bob looked lighter and honey-kissed. Icy highlights mixed with soft buttery shades appear to have given Swift's bob a brand new lease of life. Just in time for autumn!
Could she be on her way to going full ice queen again? It's a hardy process that colourists often do in stages to give the hair time to heal. Whatever she's up to, one thing's for sure. 2016's Taylor Swift is up for fun and a whole lotta change!

On Wednesday 11 May 2016, during the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Indigenous Peoples' Forum on Climate Change (IIPFCC) co-hosted a side event to report on indigenous peoples' participation in UNFCCC COP 21 and reflect on the outcomes and achievements of their advocacy and engagement. Panellists were welcomed by a full house and a number of viewers joining via live webcast.
We are pleased to confirm that the first meeting of the Facilitative Working Group (FWG) will take place on 14-16 June, and it will be held at a venue in Bonn. More information about the venue/registration will be made available on the webpage as it becomes available. The meeting will be open to observers. A separate registration (from the SB registration) will be undertaken for the FWG meeting.
In addition, the mandated LCIPP in-session thematic workshop is planned for for 19 June (the date will be confirmed soon when the SBSTA overview schedule is published), more information, including about which room it will be held in, will be made available on the website soon. Further LCIPP activities are also being organized, we will continue to keep you informed.
Nominations to the FWG: nominations are still pending for 3 Party representatives (from Eastern Europe, WEOG and the LDCs). Nominations for 5 alternates are also pending (from Eastern Europe, WEOG, LDCs, SIDS and Asia Pacific). Here is the list of membership.
The first activity of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIPP) was a multi-stakeholder workshop, which took place on 1 May, 2018. The workshop focused on implementing the three functions of the Platform: knowledge, capacity for engagement, and climate change policies and actions. During this day-long multi-stakeholder workshop, a group of more than one hundred participants convened and converged on the need to collaborate and commit to enabling the full operationalization of the Platform and the implementation of its functions.
To review and download the full LCIPP Workshop Summary Report, click here.
The Summary Report was prepared by the UNFCCC Secretariat under the guidance of the co-moderators of the workshop, Mr. Paul Watkinson (Chair of SBSTA) and Mr. Roberto Múkaro Borrero of the Taíno people (International Indian Treaty Council). It is intended for information; to capture, as well as possible, the rich exchanges that took place during the workshop; and to provide a written record of the proceedings.
We transmit herewith a note in our capacity as Co-Chairs of the Indigenous Peoples Caucus, convened under the International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change (IIPFCC) during the Bonn Climate Change Conference 2018, which included the forty-eighth sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI48) and Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA48) as well as the fifth part of the first session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Paris Agreement (APA 1-5).
In accordance with the collective view of the Indigenous Peoples Caucus expressed during its preparatory meeting on April 29 2018 at the Evangelischer Kirchenkreis in Bonn, the Co-Chairs have prioritized the negotiations to further operationalize the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples (LCIP) platform in the coordination and deliberations of the Indigenous Peoples Caucus during the 2018 Bonn Climate Change Conference.
As a variety of proposals have been made by Parties and the IIPFCC during the negotiations and, in order to ensure that the document which will be finalized during the twenty-fourth session of the Conference of Parties (COP24) reflects the views of Indigenous Peoples, and to safeguard the ownership of the document by Parties and Indigenous Peoples, we, as Co-Chairs, have worked to provide a note on the current status of said platform and the dangers involved in some of the proposals made by Parties.
We highly value the importance of open, transparent and inclusive consultations between Indigenous Peoples and Parties, and encourage all interested Indigenous Peoples, Parties and other stakeholders to raise any ideas and concerns with us. Should any organization, Party or groups of Parties wish to consult with the IIPFCC through its Co-Chairs, please contact the Indigenous Peoples focal point to the UNFCCC Secretariat (Mr. Lakpa Nuri Sherpa, email: nuri@aippnet.org).
We are committed to engage further in a constructive dialogue on this important subject before and during COP24.
Please accept, the assurances of our highest consideration.
You can find the event details here.
If you are participating remotely, you are welcome you to tune in via Skype here. You can also submit your questions by visit here, and keying in the event code #LCIPP (in capital letters).
We also welcome you to interact with us via social media using the event hashtag #LCIPP.
At COP 23, Parties initiated the operationalization of the local communities and indigenous peoples platform.

Q: openmp vs opencl for computer vision I am creating a computer vision application that detect objects via a web camera. I am currently focusing on the performance of the application
My problem is in a part of the application that generates the XML cascade file using Haartraining file. This is very slow and takes about 6days . To get around this problem I decided to use multiprocessing, to minimize the total time to generate Haartraining XML file.
I found two solutions: opencl and (openMp and openMPI ) .
Now I'm confused about which one to use. I read that opencl is to use multiple cpu and GPU but on the same machine. Is that so? On the other hand OpenMP is for multi-processing and using openmpi we can use multiple CPUs over the network. But OpenMP has no GPU support.
Can you please suggest the pros and cons of using either of the libraries.

A: OpenCL is for using the GPU stream processors.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opencl
OpenMP is for using the CPU cores.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openmp
OpenMPI is for using a distributed network cluster.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openmpi
Which is best to use depends on your problem specification, but I would try using OpenMP first because it is the easiest to port a single threaded program onto it.  Sometimes you can just put a pragma telling it to parellelize a main loop, and you can get speedups in the order of the number of CPU cores.
If your problem is very data parallel and floating pointish - than you can get better performance out of GPU - but you have to write a kernel in a C-like language and map or read/write memory buffers between the host and GPU.  Its a hassle, but performance gains in some cases can be on the order of 100 as GPUs are specifically designed for data parallel work.
OpenMPI will get you the most performance but you need a cluster (a bunch of servers on the same network), and they are expensive.

A: Could the performance problem be in the XML file itself?
Have you tried to use a different, lighter file format?
I think that an XML file that takes 6 days to be generated must be quite long and complex. If you have control on this data format, try Google's Protocol Buffers.
Before digging into OpenMP, OpenCL or whatever, check how much time is spent accessing the hard disk; if that is the issue, the parallel libraries won't improve things.

A: research opencv and see if it might help.

Our pubs
Wilbraham Arms
Featured in The Sentinel, Summer 2010
February 2010 marked the 30th anniversary of trading. This coincided with a large investment from proprietors Roy and Sharon Potter to renovate and update the facilities to a beautiful finish. Roy and Sharon have been at the helm of the business for almost 15 years and with almost 40 years experience between them, they recognised the potential of the Wilbraham's which will justify their significant investment to date. Roy explained "The licensed trade is currently going through a very tough period, but having built up a strong relationship with Robinsons the brewers over the past 25 years, Sharon and I share their belief that now is the right time to invest for the future by providing the very best in facilities for our customers. We feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to jointly invest in this project with Robinson's and setting a new standard for others to follow."
At the Wilbraham's the new contemporary look has transformed this country pub on the outskirts of Alsager into something quite special. The smart venue nestles on what was once the site of 'Creswell Farm' where on arrival customers now drive alongside a beautifully landscaped garden with rich colourful planting where trees and shrubs surround the very attractive 'Al Fresco' dining area. This impressive building has a welcoming entrance through a newly constructed oak porch. The front doors lead into a wood panelled lobby where there is a tiled floor and comfortable leather sofa and coffee table. Throughout the project there has been similar attention to detail with a pallet of colours and the use of materials and textures to provide a real feel of taste and quality. On entering the lounge there is a light and airy feel to the surroundings where oak floors surround the newly formed bar. There is also a fabulous Scandinavian wood burning stove to provide a real focus for those cosy winter nights. The addition of summer doors leading to the outside dining area have efficiently improved access. There is also an oak-built shelter provided for customers who wish to smoke where heaters and seating are provided for their comfort.
The work on the well run pub has been all encompassing with even the ladies and gents facilities having set new standards. "It's like walking into a 5star hotel. We provide bespoke hand soap & moisturiser and have the most powerful hand dryers imaginable," says Roy. As part of the inspiring project the conservatory has also been the subject of a major make-over with timber and Roman blinds to the windows and new decorative features. To further complement this fabulous looking eatery a new menu awaits with all that is traditional, including their famous Steak & Kidney Pie cooked in Robinson's ale, fresh Italian Pasta with Chorizo in a Tomato and Basil sauce, and delicious homemade chips!
Roy and Sharon have also invested in a stunning granite topped carvery counter and a chilled salad bar that sits perfectly adjacent to the conservatory restaurant to provide the perfect Sunday lunch for any diner. There are plans to further develop this new feature so check out their newly launched website for more details, menu updates, voucher offers and details of forthcoming promotional events on www.thewilbrahamarms.co.uk. It would be easy to write more flowery adjectives to describe the wonderful new Wilbraham Arms but your best bet is to visit them and see for yourself

MicroCT image of a Peruvian whistling pot from the University of Arkansas Museum's collection, produced by the MICRO lab at University of Arkansas: https://micro.uark.edu/. Image credit: MICRO and SAROI staff Manon Wilson.
Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies
SAROI held both virtually and in-person at the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST) at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. The first (of two) in-person workshops for the 2022-2023 SAROI cohort will tentatively take place June 5-18, 2022. A second, one-week workshop (also required) will take place in Summer 2023.
Single-occupancy, on-campus housing will be provided for the Fellows throughout their stay at the University of Arkansas. Workshop lectures, mentor meetings, and workspace will all take place in the JB Hunt (JBHT) building on the University of Arkansas campus, where CAST is located. The proximity of the housing to JBHT (< 10 minutes) will make transportation without a car possible. Meal passes for the University's various dining halls and services will be provided to cover breakfast and lunch throughout each Fellow's stay.
CAST and the University of Arkansas are located in beautiful Fayetteville, Arkansas, in the northwest corner of the state. Fayetteville is located in the Boston Mountains portion of the Ozarks, with nearly 100 miles of walking and biking trails in the city alone. The trails connect to the 36-mile Northwest Arkansas Razorback Regional Greenway that runs to sister cities to the north. Other nearby hiking, mountain biking, and fishing, attractions include Devil's Den State Park, Kessler Mountain Regional Park, Millsaps Mountain and Sequoyah Mountain.
The local arts and culture is led by the Walton Arts Center and TheatreSquared, among smaller venues. Nearby Bentonville Arkansas offers world-class arts museums such as Crystal Bridges and the Momentary.
More information about Fayetteville and regional attractions can be found here.
SAROI is supported through the National Endowment for Humanities' Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities Program (HT-272565-20; PIs Klehm, Limp, and Cothren), in collaboration with the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies and the MICRO lab at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.
Applications for the 2022-2023 cohort will be accepted through January 20th, midnight PT through our submission portal.
Questions should be directed to saroi@cast.uark.edu. Do not send applications to this email.
