Not getting a word in edgeways? Language, gender, and identity in a British comedy panel show
Robert Lawson, Ursula Lutzky
Despite the great strides made over the past 30 years by female comedy performers, their status in a male-dominated industry has typically been marginal. This is coupled with the widespread view that even women who do appear on mainstream comedy face the challenge of getting their voices heard in an arena where it is often the loudest voice that wins. In order to investigate claims that female comedians contribute less than male comedians on comedy panel shows, this article presents the findings of a sociolinguistic analysis of the British show Mock the Week, drawing on an XML-annotated corpus of the transcripts of series five. Rather than viewing features such as talkativeness and interruption solely as a substantiation of conversational dominance (cf. Brand, 2009), we suggest that these can also be understood as strategies in the production of humour in the context of comedy panel shows. In addition to genre-specific considerations, our results show that the use of these features on Mock the Week is influenced by an interplay of social factors, rather than gender alone. Overall, this study could act as a catalyst for writers and production companies to use more linguistically-informed approaches to comedy show scripting, particularly in relation to issues of linguistic and representational inequality.

80 years ago: Nazi warplanes over Newbridge as bombs hit Ballymany
Historian Liam Kenny recalls how a stray German aircraft triggered a diplomatic war when it unloaded bombs near the Curragh racecourse in January 1941
Liam Kenny
news@leinsterleader.ie
A German Junckers Ju-188 warplane — one of the most common Nazi warplanes of the period.
It was a New Year's gift as unwelcome as it was unexpected. In the early hours of January 2, 1941, as the people of Newbridge slept under the thin security blanket of Irish neutrality, a stray Nazi plane droned overhead and unleashed a torrent of bombs to the west of the town.
High explosive projectiles plunged earthwards, scouring craters in the ground on the edge of the Curragh racecourse and in the pastures of Ballymany Stud.
Separately a slew of incendiary bombs lit up the night sky as they fell to the south of the town on to the fields of the Cox farm at Walshestown, setting a valuable stock of hay and straw on fire.
The New Year's present from Hitler's air force could have been a lot worse. There was no injury to man or animal in the Newbridge area. Had the bombs fallen a mile to the east — just a minute's flying time away — the town could have been all but annihilated.
The tragedy of the North Strand bombing in Dublin the following April, when German bombs killed 30 people (including the young Browne family from Edenderry), injured scores, and damaged hundreds of houses, showed the devastation which high explosives could bring to urban streetscapes.
As it was there was tragedy in a neighbouring county that night. All over Leinster, errant German bombers had dropped their deathly payloads at random over the countryside. One stick of bombs straddled a farmhouse on the slopes of the Blackstairs mountains in Co Carlow. Three female members of the Shannon family were killed instantly.
Although the de Valera government had imposed strict wartime censorship, the Leinster Leader datelined January 4, 1941, carried complete details of the Newbridge incident. The paper's Curragh correspondent reported that: " …about 6.45 on Thursday morning an unidentified aeroplane approached from a north-easterly direction and dropped incendiary bombs at Walshestown, Newbridge, and one and a half miles from the Curragh Camp."
An eyewitness, Mr Joseph Dunne, was quoted as saying that the falling incendiaries resembled 'shooting stars'. Witnesses said that the plane approached from 'the Naas direction' and some said they heard small explosions followed immediately by flashes.
The private fire brigade from the Irish Ropes factory in Newbridge and the town's Air Raid Precautions volunteers responded to the incident.
The Army fire brigade from the Curragh was summoned to the Cox farm, and succeeded in confining the conflagration to the haggard, but about 200 tons of hay and straw were destroyed.
However, the military at the Camp did not go on alert otherwise, and even if they had there was little they could do — so poor was the Army's wartime inventory that that the camp and its thousands of troops were not protected by anti-aircraft guns.
The incendiaries — of a type which had started terrible fires in the London Blitz — scattered all over Walshestown. Others fell adjacent to the home of Mr Patrick Sheridan, but did no material damage.
Of potentially more serious consequence were the eight high explosive bombs which dropped in the Ballymany area. Three fell on the Curragh lands between the racecourse and Ballymany Cross, kicking up big craters at least 40 feet wide. Five more fell on the paddocks of the Aga Khan's Stud at Ballymany where incendiaries also impacted.
Gardaí from Newbridge and members of the Local Security Force combed the district during the Thursday looking for any further traces of bomb impact.
The damage was confined to the severing of a water pipeline at Ballymany Stud, some damage to sheds, and the gouging of deep craters in its paddocks and the adjacent Curragh plain.
But the searchers made a startling discovery. They found that one of the bombs had not detonated and it had embedded itself six feet deep in the Ballymany soil just yards from the house occupied by Mr James Hayde, steward and stud groom to the Aga Khan.
As Thursday wore on, the national press sought reports from the site and in the Irish Independent of the Friday morning a column headed 'Droichead Nua — Fire Bombs dropped' by an Irish Independent special representative reported that 'A cordon was thrown around the unexploded bomb, and military experts began digging it out in order to render it ineffective'.
The skill and bravery of the Irish Army bomb disposal officers was impressive — approaching a bomb laden with 250kg of explosive, and with sophisticated German triggering mechanisms that they would not have encountered before, must have required nerves of steel.
They dismantled the bomb without incident, but in the process made a discovery which would have international ramifications in the tense relationships between neutral Ireland and the warring parties — the bomb casing carried inscriptions which were in the German language.
Although there had been a handful of bombing incidents over Ireland since the war had begun in 1939 — including the destruction of a creamery in the village of Campile near New Ross which killed three women workers — there had been no objective proof of the source of the bombs.
The Government of Eamon de Valera was highly reluctant to make allegations as to whether the bombs were British or German — although the likelihood was the latter — until forensic proof was found. Now there was literally a cast-iron guarantee of attribution — the markings on the unexploded bomb at Ballymany were clearly German.
Before the day was out, the head of the Department of External Affairs, Joseph P Walshe (who had taught for three years at Clongowes Wood Jesuit school) had telegrammed the Irish representative in Berlin, William Warnock, telling him that an aircraft had dropped bombs with 'German markings' at the Curragh.
He ordered Warnock to make a 'vigorous protest in regard to the Curragh bombing' and point out how such incidents had a detrimental effect on relations between Ireland and Germany.
By the following evening, intelligence reports compiled from Irish coast-watchers and observers inland had built up a picture of hostile air activity over the Irish sea, and Walsh interpreted where the Curragh aircraft had fitted into this picture.
Furthermore, the evidence from the Curragh bombs that the weapons were of German origin was bolstered by similar markings found from bombs dropped the same day in Co Meath.
He telegrammed Warnock in Berlin, reporting that 'the evidence found at Duleek, Julianstown, and the Curragh, coupled with the fact that these bombings coincided with a German raid on Merseyside… makes it only too clear that German planes are responsible'.
His sensitivity about not upsetting the Germans was put aside as Walshe ordered Warnock to make a strong protest to the Reich government:
'You must make an energetic protest at once at continued violation of our air-space...'
And he headed off predictable German counter-propaganda by making it clear that 'any idea that the German bombs were dropped by British planes is untenable'.

German challenge
However, the Germans were not taking the accusation without challenge and Herr Hempel — later in January Herr Hempel the German Minister in Dublin — told Walshe that his government were not convinced that the bombs were theirs. He wanted permission to bring a munitions expert over from Germany to examine the fragments.
But Walshe was concerned that this was a German attempt to get a messenger over who would make contact with the IRA. He countered by suggesting to Hempel that some of the German airmen interned in the Curragh Camp — coincidently within a mile of the Ballymany bombing — might be able to examine the projectile and determine its origin.
Hempel argued back that the interned airmen would not have the technical skills necessary to verify the origin of the bomb.
Their exchange seemed to be going nowhere until the Jesuit-trained Walshe came up with a proposition that would suit all parties — the Germans would admit publicly that it was one of their bombs but it had worked itself loose from the airplane in flight and had not been dropped deliberately.
Although the Ballymany bombing was minor in terms of its material impact, it marked a step-change in Ireland's relationship with at least one of the belligerent parties.
The 'fog of war' would no longer be accepted as an excuse for denying responsibility for any further bombs that would fall on Irish territory.

Washington, D.C. – Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) President Scott Paul and U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) hosted a press call on a new poll that explores how likely voters from both parties prioritize infrastructure investment compared to other popular issues, and gauges whether they prioritize domestic procurement policies (i.e. Buy America provisions) in these investments.
The Mellman Group and Public Opinion Strategies conducted the poll from March 20 to 28, 2019, from a sample of 1,200 likely Democratic and Republican voters. Michael Bloomfield of The Mellman Group and Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies also joined Wednesday's call.
BACKGROUND: The Mellman Group-Public Opinion Strategies poll found that 80 percent of likely voters support Buy America provisions, while 55 percent strongly support those provisions. Meanwhile, 83 percent of Democratic likely voters rank infrastructure investment using American workers and products as the top priority, tied with moving to clean energy to address climate change and providing health coverage for all. Eighty-four percent of Republican likely voters rank infrastructure investment using American workers and products as the top priority, tied with tighten border security and enforcement of immigration.
To find the full results of the poll, please follow this link.

Samsung, Dell Provide Data Encryption for SSDs
By Agam Shah
Samsung Electronics on Thursday said it is boosting security on solid-state drives by bundling data encryption software with SSDs it ships.
The company is bundling software from Wave Systems' Embassy management software to encrypt data on its SSDs with storage ranging from 64GB and 256GB.
The drives with encryption software will be available from PC makers, Samsung said in a statement. Coinciding with Samsung's announcement, Dell said it would offer the self-encrypting SSDs with its Latitude line of laptops in the upcoming months.
SSDs are gaining popularity, particularly for use in laptops, because they consume less power and access data more quickly than hard drives. SSDs store data on flash-memory chips and are emerging as an alternative to hard drives, which store data on spinning magnetic platters. Adding encryption could protect laptop data and deter security breaches.
Full-disk encryption is already available for hard drives, but this is the first time it is available for SSDs, Samsung said. The software automatically encrypts information as data is stored on the SSDs.
Samsung claims that SSD performance is not affected by encryption because it has no moving parts.

Business community criticises deployment of Tiger Force to control prices in markets
* Traders call upon government to urgently withdraw its orders to save them from unnecessary problems including blackmailing
The business community of the twin cities has strongly condemned the deployment of tiger force to control prices and called upon the government to urgently withdraw it in order to save the traders from unnecessary problems including blackmailing.
They said that tiger force was a political force and they would not accept its deployment in markets as it would create more problems including the use of blackmailing tactics against traders. They said that district administrations were present in every district and the government should use them to control prices instead of using a political force as its approach could be biased.
These views were expressed when a delegation of Markazi Anjuman-e-Tajiran Rawalpindi/Punjab led by its President Malik Shahid Ghafoor Piracha visited ICCI and congratulated the new office bearers of Chamber. Sheikh Abdul Hafeez President Anjuman-e-Tijaran Rawalpindi Cantt, Taj Abbasi President All Pakistan Furniture Association and representatives of various other market associations of Rawalpindi were also in the delegation.
Addressing the meeting, President ICCI Sardar Yasir Ilyas Khan stressed that before taking such measures, the government should first take stakeholders on board as one-sided decisions have always damaged the business and economic activity. He said that some shops were being sealed under the pretext of price control drive, which was not a wise approach and if there was any issue, things should be sorted through dialogue.
Sardar Yasir Ilyas said that to combat the impact of Covid-19 pandemic, governments in the world provided relief to businesses, but in Pakistan businesses were being burdened with more taxes through new SROs. He emphasized that the government should provide relief to the business community by allowing them to pay taxes in installments. He assured that ICCI would cooperate with them in resolving the key issues of the business community of the twin cities.
Chairman Founder Group Mian Akram Farid expressed great reservations over the tiger force for price control and urged the government to withdraw it. He said that the government should focus on reducing tax rates and broadening of tax base to improve tax revenue of the country. He said devaluation of the rupee was the main cause of rising inflation and the government should address this issue. He said that due to Covid-19, many traders were facing problems in paying rents of shops and stressed that the government should announce a relief package for them.
Malik Shahid Ghafoor Piracha President Markazi Amjuman-e-Tajiran Rawalpindi/Punjab, Sheikh Abdul Hafeez President Anjuman-e-Tijiran Rawalpindi Cantt, Taj Abbasi President All Pakistan Furniture Association expressing their views said that government officials were imposing heavy fines on small traders for high prices while they have no role in hiking prices of commodities as devaluation was the main source of rising inflation in the country. They said such tactics against small traders should be avoided.
Fatma Azim Senior Vice President and Abdul Rehman Khan Vice President ICCI thanked the visiting guests from Rawalpindi. They said that the business community of twin cities was facing common issues and their unity would help in resolving them.
Ajmal Baloch, President, All Pakistan Anjuman-e-Tajiran also condemned the use of the tiger force for control of prices and said that instead of using political force that would create more divisions, the government should use its own machinery to control the prices.
Ejaz Abbasi, Mian Shaukat Masud, Khalid Chaudhry, M. Zafar Qadri and others also spoke at the occasion and said that government should announce relief packages for every industry on the pattern of construction industry package that would put the economy on fast track growth. They said tiger force would be misused and traders would be blackmailed, so the government should withdraw it immediately.

Update – Coronavirus and the Alitis Pools
Kevin Kirkwood, CFA
President & Chief Investment Officer
Today's Markets
Alitis' Investment Committee has been watching the evolving Coronavirus story and working to ensure that the Alitis Pools are positioned to ride out this volatility while still being able to participate in the inevitable upside which generally follows these declines.
Various stock markets were down yesterday, and this will always get media attention but what did not get headlines was that bonds did relatively well. Below are how some major investments fared yesterday:
Returns for Monday, February 24, 2020 (C$)
Investment Symbol Category Gain/Loss
Vanguard Total Bond Market Index BND US Bonds 0.73%
iShares Core Canadian Universe Bond Index XBB Canadian Bonds 0.24%
iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index XIU Canadian Stocks -2.31%
SPDR S&P 500 ETF SPY US Stocks -2.92%
Vanguard FTSE Emerging Market Index VWO Emerging Markets Stocks -3.12%
Vanguard FTSE Pacific Index VPL Asian Stocks -3.40%
Vanguard FTSE Europe Index VGK European Stocks -3.91%
Our Conservative Allocation to Stocks
The Alitis Growth Pool is the most exposed to the effects of the coronavirus on equity markets as it contains the greatest percentage of stocks. However, this exposure is only about 50% of the Pool's assets as we had already positioned the Pool conservatively in anticipation of the market challenges that we see now. Because of our defensive stance, the declines in equity markets may cause the Growth pool to decline about half as much as the markets. Presently, the Alitis Growth Pool has the following asset class exposures:
Alitis Growth Pool – Asset Allocation
Asset Class Current Allocation
Cash 30.3%
Stocks 48.4%
Real Estate 21.3%
Our View on the Coronavirus
The only other Alitis Pool that has an allocation to stocks is the Alitis Income & Growth Pool. This Pool's stock allocation is less than 15%, while its allocation to fixed income is almost 42%. Again, we believe that this conservative positioning will help to mitigate any negative performance caused by further declines in stock markets.
The world has experienced many viruses over the years – some worse than the current coronavirus and some better. Our view on the coronavirus is that it is certainly a situation that needs to be considered, but in a realistic and rational manner that looks at the facts, while understanding the emotion which often drives hasty, ill-planned decisions.
The Spread of the Coronavirus
It appears that the Chinese have started to get their outbreak under control, but two events in the last few days have changed the story quite dramatically. First, Italy has had a significant outbreak near Milan. Having an outbreak in Europe, especially near a major economic centre like Milan, makes the spread of the virus throughout Europe quite likely. This event is what has caused the major stock market declines yesterday.
The other major news – and the one that has local implications – is the outbreak in Iran. According to the health authorities in Iran, there are only 64 cases in the country with the first one being diagnosed on February 19th:
Coronavirus in Iran4
Date Cases
(new) Cases
(cumulative) Deaths
(new) Deaths
(cumulative)
19 Feb 2020 2 2 2 2
21 Feb 2020 13 18 2 4
24 Feb 2020 21 64 4 12
However, on February 20th BC's provincial health officer announced that a woman who returned from Iran to Greater Vancouver on February 14th – a full five days prior to any official cases being reported in in that country – had tested positive for the virus. It would appear that Iran simply had no idea about the spread of the virus or did not have the capacity to detect or deal with it properly. That failure has had direct implications in BC and around the world. What may turn out to be a major source of the virus went undetected for quite some time and may allow it to spread to other countries and, most importantly, very close to where we live.
The takeaway from last two events is that it is unlikely that the spread of the virus can be stopped. The measures undertaken by governments around the world has slowed the spread – which is good – but the virus is most likely coming our way.
Death Rates
While Alitis is an investment firm and the impact on investments is important to us, it is the effects on people that truly matter. Obviously, the loss of life is the most worrisome aspect of the coronavirus. But so far, the statistics5 indicate that overall mortality rate is 2.8% for men and 1.7% for women. However, as noted previously, it is almost certain that the actual number of cases of coronavirus is much higher which will reduce these rates. As well, the vast majority of reported cases are presently in China which certainly has different demographics and health care standards than Canada. For example, 47.6% of Chinese men smoke versus 17.7% of Canadian men1. Given that coronavirus' greatest impact is on the lungs, smoking is likely a major determinant of the outcome. Age is also a consideration as this virus, like most others, impacts the elderly and health compromised more than any other group. Children, on the other hand, do not appear to be as susceptible to the virus2.
To put all this in perspective, the regular seasonal flu also kills many people. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC")3 measures the number of cases and deaths each year, with the most recent years summarized below:
Flu Statistics for the United States
Season Cases Medical Visits Hospitalizations Deaths
2015-2016 23,504,319 10,642,006 276,198 22,705
2019-2020 (est)
29,000,000 – 41,000,000
280,000 – 500,000
16,000 – 41,000
Quarantines, Disruptions and the Markets
As you can see, a lot of people die in the US every year from the flu and it appears that 2017-2018 was a particularly bad year. It is likely that due to proximity alone, Canada experienced similar results.
The biggest impact is coming from the measures taken to contain the virus. As we have all seen in news reports, the Chinese government has been very aggressive in working to contain the virus and slow its spread through quarantines and travel restrictions. Italy has also imposed restrictions on many of its citizens this last weekend. These measures will likely help slow the spread of the virus, but there is always a cost.
At the local level, people simply change their habits to protect themselves from the unknown. Fear drives people to stop going out and spending money as they usually would. In the Vancouver area, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that spending in restaurants and malls that cater to Asian communities has declined significantly over the last few weeks. That is not good for the economy. On a grander scale, any quarantines and travel restrictions would seriously impact business' ability to operate and to ship goods. This is already happening, with the most famous example being Apple which has stated that sales in China will definitely be down this quarter and that there may be a shortage of iPhones since these products are assembled in China.
Impact on the Markets
Obviously, the short-term impact on the stock markets has not been good. There was a short-lived drop in late January when the virus first popped up on the radar, but it would appear that this current drop may have more staying power. That being said, we do not expect the impact of the coronavirus to be a long-term problem. As mentioned earlier there have been many viruses which have caused problems, but they have always resolved themselves. Based on this history, the coronavirus situation should be no different. There will be some short-term pain with stocks, but we have a ready supply of cash to invest when times look the bleakest as that is when the best opportunities usually arise. On the other hand, fixed income has done well recently but that could change when money starts flowing back into the stock markets.
Longer term changes are far more interesting. Two major manufacturing trends over the last 40 years have been: (1) just-in-time manufacturing, and (2) outsourcing production to cheaper locations overseas – particularly to China. The coronavirus has exposed the risk in these two strategies. Having only a limited supply of parts on hand because new ones can be ordered just-in-time does not leave a lot of room for error if new supplies are not forthcoming. As well, a lot of manufacturing has been moved to China as a way of reducing costs on products. Generally, this has been great for consumers, but it has also increased the risk that something could go wrong with supply chains. It is very likely that a lot of firms will be reassessing their manufacturing processes and supply chains to try and mitigate the problems that are presently being experienced. Longer-term outlooks for certain markets will likely change.
Alitis is Preparing
Although it is highly unlikely that we will need to enact this, Alitis is also preparing for how the firm would continue to operate should the virus arrive in BC and people change their behaviour or, more critically, health officials impose quarantines. Alitis has become very web-based over the last few years and most staff have the ability to operate from home offices. Today, I requested that we look into enabling all staff to work from home so that Alitis could continue to function should these unlikely scenarios unfold. As well, we are re-assessing the business continuity plans for our major service providers to ensure that they will be able to continue operating. Again, it is doubtful we will need to go to these measures, but as prudent managers of your investments and associated risks, we prefer to be prepared for all known potential risks – this is our hallmark.
I hope this communication provides some realistic and rational information about the coronavirus and its implications on your investments, society, markets, and Alitis itself. We are on top of the situation, we have your interests in mind, and we are prepared to continue Alitis operations should the situation in BC deteriorate. If you have any concerns, please contact your adviser and we will work to help you address them.

Ban warns illicit drugs impede sustainable development, calls for every solution to be weighed
NEW YORK, 11th February, 2016 (WAM) -- Illicit drugs promote violence, impede sustainable development, endanger communities and undermine people's health, United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, has warned, calling on the global community to weigh every option available to confront the issue.
"This global challenge is interconnected with corruption, terrorism and illicit flows of money," Mr. Ban told UN officials and delegates at a meeting ahead of a UN General Assembly special session, UNGASS, on the world drug problem in April.
"Those who traffic in illegal drugs may also be involved in human trafficking, kidnapping, firearms smuggling, murder and numerous other crimes. But the world drug problem is also a health problem, linked to overdoses, the ravages of addiction and the spread of HIV and hepatitis," he added.
The UN General Assembly special session on the world drug problem is scheduled from 19th to 21st April at UN Headquarters in New York. The Assembly previously convened a special session on the issue in 1998.

The world is full of copy. The world is also full of copywriters. They contribute to a $2.3 trillion dollar industry around the world. Unlike editorial or news writing, however, copywriting is all about targeting a reader and encouraging them to take action. That action can range from purchasing to engaging, or even just acknowledging, a product, service or company.
Although they sound the same, a copywriter has nothing to do with 'Copyright.' We have no authority on an individuals right to produce, publish, sell or distribute someone's work. We know nothing more on the topic than the average person.
A copywriter's job description is hard to define, as every individual position is different. Some operate in-house, some work freelance. Some write advertisements, and some write medical documents. The thing that does unite all copywriters, however, is that we all work with words.
While we may spend a lot of our time writing the words, there is a lot more that goes into it. The modern copywriter must have a good understanding of digital audiences and web-based platforms, allowing their words to translate into the contemporary landscape.
Who is The Writing For?
Unlike those writing news or fiction, copywriting often comes with an agenda. It usually occurs on behalf of a client, attempting to target, educate or inform a consumer subliminally.
All companies use some form of written marketing, especially through inbound contact. This is all about developing a rapport with consumers rather than selling a product or service.
Because of the vast needs of companies and customers, copywriters often have to be versatile writers with minimal personal agenda. We are working to satisfy a client, using our words to communicate their messages. This means we have to be ready to take zero credit for our work and allow the companies name to be stamped all over our work.
The job also entails making the necessary edits to keep the client happy, as well as their legal, sales and branding departments too.
While the role of a copywriter can vary dramatically, there are a variety of standard practices that businesses will hire a copywriter to undertake on their behalf.
Blog posts: While these vary from client to client, blog posts are a great way to keep people updated with industry news for the company. They are usually a little more informal in language, with topics varying drastically.
Emails: Email campaigns are a great way to target consumers directly, however, they have to be short, informative and enticing. Copywriters must be wary of this and adjust their language accordingly.
Social Media: With a set number of characters to work with, companies must make the most of their words in this space.
Website Copy: Writing for the web is a significant part of many copywriting jobs. It requires a whole new language and skill-set, something excellent copywriters are well-versed in.
Advertising Campaigns: Catchy slogans and snappy headlines? That is the work of a copywriter.
White Papers: These are informative, educational documents that outline an issue and how it may be solved. Often that solution will link to something the client sells, however, most of the document needs to objective and informative for the purposes of audience consumption.
Case Studies: These are short snippet articles that may explain how a company helped their consumers or solved a problem in the industry.
The beauty of a good copywriter is that they can portray whatever voice you want them to. They can take on the role of any business, channelling their existing tone and turning it into useful and compelling writing.
If you want your business tone to be funny, a copywriter can do that. Say you want to come across as authoritative while still retaining compassion; a copywriter can do that too. They are well versed in the English language, knowing which words will sell and help you sell to your audience.
The truth is, pinning down a copywriters role is easier said than done, but that's the most exciting thing about the profession. You get to write in a variety of different tones and voices for an array of audiences, with no day ever being the same.
In fact, the role of the copywriter is something akin to that of a theatre performer. They need to don the right mask and costume and assume the right tone and voice to remove the gap between the stage and the audience. When that gap is removed, magic happens and things get sold!

Vice News (stylized as VICE News) is Vice Media's current affairs channel, producing daily documentary essays and video through its website and YouTube channel. It promotes itself on its coverage of "under-reported stories". Vice News was created in December 2013 and is based in New York City, though it has bureaus worldwide.

History
Before Vice News was founded, Vice published news documentaries and news reports from around the world through its YouTube channel alongside other programs. Vice had reported on events such as crime in Venezuela, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, protests in Turkey, the North Korean and Iranian regimes, and the Syrian Civil War through their own YouTube channel and website. After the creation of Vice News as a separate division, its reporting greatly increased with worldwide coverage starting immediately with videos published on YouTube and articles on its website daily.

In December 2013, Vice Media expanded its international news division into an independent division dedicated exclusively to news and created Vice News. Vice Media put $50 million into its news division, setting up 34 bureaus worldwide and drawing praise for its in-depth coverage of international news. Vice News has primarily targeted a younger audience comprised predominantly of millennials, the same audience to which its parent company appeals.

In November 2014, Vice News launched its French-language version.

In October 2015 Vice hired Josh Tyrangiel to run a daily Vice News show for HBO. Tyrangiel had recently left Bloomberg Businessweek, where he was reported to be "a divisive figure who was both admired and despised during his six years there." Tyrangiel named Ryan McCarthy, formerly an assistant editor of The New York Times, as editor-in-chief of Vice News.

In May 2016, it was announced that Tyrangiel had also been given control of the weekly Vice on HBO show as well as Vice News. As the announcement was made, Tyrangiel promptly laid off much of the news staff. In an interview given the previous week, Vice Media founder Shane Smith called Tyrangiel "a murderer," foretelling a "bloodbath" in digital media.

On May 24, 2016, a change in leadership at Vice News resulted in the laying off of some 20 editorial and production staff members. That June, Tyrangiel touted various new hires he had brought aboard as part of his team.

In December 2016, it was announced that Vice News had entered into a partnership with The Guardian newspaper that will include Guardian journalists working at Vice's offices in East London and contributing to the two HBO television programs currently on the air. It will also include allowing The Guardian access to Vice's video production skills with content distributed to its millennial-skewed global audience.

Reporters
Vice News had more than 100 members of its reporting and editorial staff in 35 bureaus around the world including New York City, Toronto, London, Berlin, Mexico City, São Paulo, Los Angeles, Istanbul, Moscow, Beijing, and Kabul. On April 21, 2014, while covering the Russo-Ukrainian War, Simon Ostrovsky, a Vice News reporter was kidnapped by pro-Russian separatist forces and held for three days until being released in Sloviansk.

Programming and content
Since its creation, Vice News has covered emerging events and widespread issues around the world. Every day it publishes a daily news capsule called "News Beyond the Headlines" where it briefly covers four daily stories which did not receive much coverage by other mainstream news outlets but it still considers important. It also publishes daily articles on its website on a variety of world current events, along with maintaining a Vice News Wire where it displays wire reports from around the world.

It has several prominent past and ongoing documentary series including: Russian military intervention in Ukraine; civil war in Iraq; the Israeli–Palestinian conflict; the Western Sahara conflict; the struggles of Afghan interpreters working for the US military in acquiring visas; the prison crisis in the US at Salinas Valley State Prison; protests against the FIFA World Cup in Brazil; Venezuelan anti-government protests; expansion of the Islamic State; protests in Ferguson, Missouri; the Syrian Civil War; the militarization of America's police forces and Central American refugees fleeing street gangs borne in American prisons to cross the American border; global warming and the evidence of the melting of Antarctica's glaciers; and the build-up of military forces of Russia with Scandinavians assisted by the American military.

Television series
 Vice on City: A weekly television series on City, a Canadian television network, of documentaries that highlight Vice News reporting.
 Vice: A newsmagazine television series on Showtime (TV network)
 Vice News Tonight: A daily evening news broadcast on Vice on TV

Reception
The Vice News YouTube page has 8.44 million subscribers as well as more than 1.8 billion views in total. and in August 2014, was described by The Guardian as one of the fastest growing channels on YouTube.

Lara Pendergast, deputy online editor at the UK magazine The Spectator argues that Vice News gets its strength and popularity by getting younger audiences to become more and more interested about international news in a way that traditional media has not. "Its videos may fail every rule in the BBC impartiality book, but they are brilliantly edited and, often, utterly compelling. Vice News has found young, fearless foreign correspondents to serve a youthful audience who are bored stiff by traditional outlets but are quite prepared to watch videos on their mobile phones."

"Vice's brand image marketing as an edgy, hip outlet have helped drive its popularity with young people", says media critic Charles Johnson. "Mainstream media is not trusted by a lot of people, and rightly so, so they [Vice] step in and fill in", he says. "People see a sense of fun behind it. Jon Stewart is very popular, but he's an entertainer. Vice is something similar."

Rick Edmonds, media and business analyst at the Poynter Institute, critiques Vice News' reporting as "raw and tasteless sometimes" and more akin to personal essays than balanced journalism. Other critiques mention that its work is more affiliated with entertainment than hard-hitting news.

In a 2013 opinion piece for U.S. News & World Report, editor of the New York-based Foreign Policy Association Robert Nolan, stated that Vice's North Korea reporting was "more Jackass TV series than journalism".

Awards
Vice News has won four Peabody Awards for its documentary programs, The Islamic State and Last Chance High in 2015, Charlottesville: Race and Terror in 2017, and Losing Ground in 2020. In 2020, Emily Green of Vice News jointly won the first Pulitzer Prize for Audio Reporting with This American Life and Molly O'Toole of the Los Angeles Times for their collaboration on "The Out Crowd", an investigative podcast episode on the effects of the Remain in Mexico policy.

In 2021, Vice News won the Rory Peck Award for "Uyghurs Who Fled China Now Face Repression in Pakistan", the Lorenzo Natali Media Prize for "Rohingya Brides Thought They Were Fleeing Violence. Then They Met Their Grooms.", the Online Journalism Award for "The Story of...", and two Edward R. Murrow Awards for "Say Her Name: Investigating the Death of Breonna Taylor" and "Life Under Bombs: On the Frontlines of Fighting in Azerbaijan". In 2022, Vice News won the Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award for "The Shockwave".

From 2018 to 2021, Vice News received more News & Documentary Emmy Award nominations each year than any other organization. Vice News was nominated for 23 News & Documentary Emmy Awards in 2021, winning four.

The Japanese Communist Party on October 13 and 14 held its 5th Central Committee Plenum at the JCP head office in Tokyo. In the two-day assembly, the JCP published a five-point urgent proposal calling for creating a Japan which makes the best use of the pacifist Constitution.
First, the JCP in its proposal pointed out the need to abolish the national security-related legislation (= war laws), the State Secret Protection Law, the anti-conspiracy law as well as other unconstitutional laws and to restore constitutionalism and democracy in Japan.
The national security-related legislation has altered the mandate of Japan's Self-Defense Forces.
For example, new duties involving the use of arms, such as "rush to rescue" assignments (kaketsuke-keigo), were imposed on SDF units participating in the UN PKO mission in South Sudan in 2016. Maritime SDF ships were engaged in missions to protect and refuel U.S. military vessels in 2017. Japan-U.S. joint military drills have escalated both in quality and quantity. The UN mission-centric SDF dispatch policy has been changed to one allowing the SDF to be sent to regions such as the South China Sea and the Sinai Peninsula without any relation to UN PKO missions. The revocation of the war laws is a pressing task.
Secondly, the JCP proposes that the government shift to disarmament from the current huge arms buildup policy.

The reason for this huge cost is that the request includes the cost of purchasing F35 stealth fighters, Ospreys, unmanned surveillance aircraft, long-range cruise missiles, and other state-of-the-art weapons systems which depart from the exclusively defense-oriented principle. The budgetary request also reflects the cost of buying huge quantities of U.S.-made weapons under the pressure exerted by U.S. President Trump. The use of taxpayers' money for these purposes should be cancelled. Furthermore, the "sympathy budget" for the U.S. military in Japan, which is one of the most extraordinary financial arrangements in the world, should be eliminated.
Thirdly, the JCP proposal demands that the Japan-U.S. Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) which gives special judicial privileges to the U.S forces in Japan be fundamentally revised.
The special privileges under the SOFA enable the U.S. military to deploy its troops anywhere across Japan without limitation and conduct military training exercises freely in disregard of Japan's domestic laws.
In July this year, the National Governors' Association unanimously adopted a proposal calling for a drastic amendment to the SOFA. In the proposal, the NGA urges that Japan's aviation law, environmental law, and other regulations be applied in principle to the U.S. military in Japan. The proposal also demands that when an incident or an accident involving the U.S. military occurs, municipal government officials be allowed to enter the site in question in a quick and smooth manner. These are demands expected from an independent country.
The forth proposal is to establish a multinational security mechanism for peace and stability in Northeast Asia.
The JCP in 2014 in its 26th Congress proposed an initiative to create a framework for peace and cooperation in Northeast Asia. The core of this proposal is to have a treaty of amity and cooperation (TAC) concluded on a regional scale and to require TAC member countries to resolve conflicts through peaceful dialogue. This direction was already agreed upon in the 2005 Six-Party Talks Joint Statement and the 2011 Bali Declaration of the East Asia Summit by countries concerned. Regarding the ongoing peace process on the Korean Peninsula, a success of this process will contribute to realizing the JCP proposed initiative. The JCP will continue to work hard to achieve this.
The fifth proposal is to push the Japanese government to sign and ratify the UN treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons.
One year has passed since the antinuke UN treaty was adopted. So far, the treaty has been signed by 69 countries and ratified by 19 of the 69 countries. In California which is the largest state in the U.S. with a population of 40 million, the state assembly adopted a resolution in support of the UN treaty. Nuclear weapon states are aware of the change occurring. In Japan, more than 320 municipalities have adopted statements calling on the national government to sign and ratify the treaty. The government of Japan, the only nation in the world to have experienced an atomic attack, should not turn its back on this trend. If the present government refuses to sign the UN convention, it should be replaced with a pro-UN treaty government through joint efforts between the JCP and the general public.

Dueling Opinions: Advancing climate change on the agenda
WE'RE DONATING 5% OF ALL MATCHA SALES TO THE GIFT OF LIFE MARROW REGISTRY
After another year of extreme weather events, from deadly heat waves and record drought to rare December tornadoes, climate change continues to make headlines and drive demands for action
How would you describe the progress the healthcare sector has made in recent years to help mitigate climate change?
Gary Cohen: The last couple of years have been profound. In the last year alone there was an initiative launched with the U.N. called Race to Zero, getting hospital systems to commit to net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest, and to halve their emissions by 2030. In November at the Glasgow climate conference, more than 50 institutions representing over 14,000 hospitals, across 21 countries, committed to that.
Seema Wadhwa: There really has been a shift in how healthcare looks at environmental sustainability. I think that's true even more broadly in terms of society, where once the conversation was focused on, what are we doing to our environment? How are we impacting the air, the trees, the waterways. That is really shifting more toward, what impact is the environment having on our health?
What do you think should be the top motivating factor for healthcare organizations to make investments to counter climate change?
Cohen: I think there are multiple reasons. One is it's their mission—to serve their patients and their communities. They see more and more of the devastating impacts in those communities. It's also a sense that many of the interventions save money. You reduce your waste, reduce your energy intensity, green your operating room. You buy more reusables as opposed to single-use throwaways.
Wadhwa: It is the mission. If you think about what healthcare organizations are meant to do, it's really to improve the health of the communities they serve. … If we stayed true to anything, climate change is key and central to the work that we need to be doing. We are seeing the health impacts of climate change today, in the here, in the now.
What is something that you feel really optimistic about regarding healthcare's role in combating climate change?
Cohen: There's this really big opportunity among government, the supply chain, the private sector and not-for-profits to come together and accelerate climate action across the entire sector. I'm hopeful that the collaboration that we're also participating in will actually move the entire sector—that it will see that the next iteration of quality healthcare means that it's climate-smart healthcare.
Wadhwa: What I'm most optimistic about is how we can multi-solve some of the challenges between climate, health and equity. What I mean is that climate change is really a force multiplier, and not in a not good way for people who are disproportionately impacted by climate change: low-income communities and communities of color that are already challenged.

Do I Really Have To Pay More For My Investment Gains In 2013? | TaxConnections is a where to find leading tax experts and tax resources worldwide.
Once you have determined that your income is over the threshold, you must determine what types of income applies. The IRS, of course, has a handy new form, the Form 8960, for just that calculation. The long and short of it boils down to this. You will pay the additional tax on the lesser of the amount of your NII or the amount of your income over the threshold.
For example: Your AGI as a single person is $210,000. You have $20,000 in NII. So you will pay the additional 3.8% tax of $10,000. The lesser of the amount over the threshold or your NII. If your AGI in this same situation was $230,000 you would pay the additional tax on the $20,000 of NII.
So, you ask, what exactly is counted towards my NII? For the most part things you would normally assume are investment income, like interest, dividends, and capital gains (long or short term).
There are some other things included you may not think about right off hand, like rents, royalties, annuity payments, passive activity income, and income from the disposition of property. I think the thing that surprised me most on this list was the annuity payments. You just don't normally consider things that come to you on a 1099R as an investment.
This is the short version of this new tax. If you have any reason to believe you or your clients may fall into this category, please consult with a qualified tax professional as this is gonna get tricky. If you are a qualified tax professional, please get well versed on this subject. There is a lot of info out there on this subject and there are a lot of blogs right here on TaxConnections in the archive that address the differing aspects of this new regulation.

With charming and irresistably unique characters, 'Dog' follows the story of a pet's life, Spider, and the adventures that it holds. Spider struggles with what he is and what he could be – through climbing out of his owner's window to almost escaping the confines of a household by accident, he wonders whether a life of a cat would be better for him. I don't think I've ever read a book that centres around a dog and the complexities of an animal's mind quite like this before – the vivacity of each and every character is truly astonishing. It is a very easy read that keeps you on your toes page after page until you find yourself reading 20, 50, even 100 pages in one complete sitting. I did think I wasn't going to enjoy this as much as I did because of my acquired taste when it comes to the perfect read and the suggested age ranges that usually comes with this type of plot. However, I did surprise myself by really warming to Spider and the friends that he finds on his way whilst stumbling through life at the aid of others. I thoroughly enjoyed it!


No longer just a mere mention on the calendar and now a full-fledged college football winter tradition, National Signing Day has evolved into an extravaganza celebrated througout the country on the first Wednesday of February every year.
So today, media hordes as usual will indulge in decisions made by top high school and junior college prospects while many major four-year programs hold booster parties to detail the sum of their recruiting efforts over the past 12 months.
The pomp and circumstance has been absent at Butte College in recent years because top Roadrunners prospects have either made their formal commitments during the early signing period in December or announced their decision well in advance of National Signing Day.
But neither is the case regarding Butte wide receiver Josh Bellamy. The highly-valued recruit out of Florida who was an integral part of the Roadrunners' national title run last season has added a little bit of intrigue to the program's normally casual signing day ceremony.
Bellamy initially made a verbal, non-binding commitment to Iowa State early in January. Yet he still decided to accept an invitation to visit Washington State on Jan. 24. Like acclaimed Butte teammate Brandon Rankin, who was also on the trip to Pullman, Wash., that weekend, Bellamy expressed considerable interest toward signing with the Cougars.
In a media advisory about signing day sent out Tuesday afternoon by the Butte athletic department, Bellamy's choice was listed as Washington State. Only today, however, can that decision be made official, and modern-day national interest about college football recruits stems from their affinity for flirting with one possibility and then choosing another.
Rankin, the NorCal Conference's defensive most valuable player, new season sack record holder and an All-American, has expressed more confidence toward committing to Washington State. The commitments of Rankin and Bellamy are conditional because both players still need to complete academic requirements before the beginning of the fall semester to earn their two-year associate's degree.
The inability to do so would break the official commitment between the player and the school. In a similar situation last year, Butte standout safety David Sims was unable to successfully transfer into Oklahoma after accepting a scholarship offer from Sooners head coach Bob Stoops.
Sims sat out last season and has since qualified to transfer into Iowa State, where he is expected to play with the Cyclones next year. Snelling said that Sims was influential in helping Bellamy choose Iowa State initially. The Cyclones have also been able to continue to actively recruit Bellamy since his Washington State visit — any form of commitment he has made to the Cougars will not be official until a signed version is in place.


A majority of Norwegians believe Norway should receive as many or more refugees as today. At the same time, 34% support asylum centres outside Europe, according to a new survey.
In the survey, conducted by Sentio on behalf of Klassekampen newspaper, 44% said that Norway should receive as many refugees as today.
29% believed more must be received, while 23% believe Norway must take fewer. 4% answered "do not know".
"This shows that there is a positive attitude to accepting refugees in the population," said senior adviser, Pål Nesse, of 'Refugee Aid' to the newspaper.
The survey also took into account the views of the people on the recent debate on the asylum system and whether asylum seekers should seek asylum on the border with Norway. 42% of respondents said 'yes', while 34% supported the establishment of asylum centres outside of Europe. 24% answered "do not know".
Nesse believes that when so many people say they do not know it shows that people are uncertain about the asylum system and that politicians have created greater uncertainty than the situation would indicate.
"Many are left with the impression that it is out of control. Reality is another thing.
So far this year, only 50,000 asylum seekers and migrants have come to Europe, something one would think it was going to be able to handle,'' said Nesse.

If you follow them accurately then you will get it working.
Did that help at all @mitzyevan?
Those instructions work for all phones.
If you followed them and your data is not working then almost certainly you did something wrong.
Delete any apns that are configured and start from scratch.
Make sure to follow the instructions exactly.
If it still doesn't work then post your settings here for review.
As I said if they don't work then you have most likely done something wrong.
I have just started from scratch again & when I went to save it, it said 'are u sure?' modifications to default APN'S may cause connection problems??
You need to save the changes for it to work.
Ignore the warning and save the changes.
If you don't then data is never going to work.

Q: Compare Integers without if statement? For a homework assignment, I am being asked to merge two lists of integers in non-decreasing order. We are told not to "not use the if operator."
I can merge the two lists through recursion without any difficulty (if I ignore the non-decreasing part), but how I do I compare one integer from each list without using an if statement? From what I've seen, the Scala match feature does not allow expressions, but I'm unsure how to utilize that in this case.
Not necessarily looking for explicit answers / code samples, just looking for hints towards the right direction.
Thanks.

A: You can use the max and min methods to allow you to cons both numbers on to the result in the proper non-decreasing order. Be sure to prove (at least to yourself) that this works in all cases.

A: There's lots of way of doing this without using the if statement, but still resorting to comparing the numbers. That would be simply hiding an implicit if statement behind something else.
One alternative to if statements in object-oriented languages is polymorphism. Consider this:
sealed trait Bool
object Bool {
  def apply(b: Boolean): Bool = b match {
    case true /* Implicit if! */ => True
    case false                   => False
object True extends Bool
object False extends Bool

From a Boolean you can construct a Bool (using an implicit if, granted). You can then add a method to Bool, implementing it differently for each object. This is how Option works, by the way. None has one implementation, and Some has another.
There's one way to avoid comparing the numbers, however. If you don't compare, you don't use if either -- not even implicitly. Fun fact: a computer magazine back in the 80s had a contest for sorting algorithms, the winner of which would be the one comparing the fewest time. The winning algorithm sorted entirely without comparing, and then did a dummy compare just to stay within the rules of the contest.
The tip here is that you have to know what the range of the numbers is, and that range cannot be too big, or, otherwise, you'll have to do multiple passes to finish the ordering. Also, lists are inefficient to perform the operations.
I hope this helps.

A: Don't do this.  But, hilariously, it works.  Let's assume you're comparing x and y.
val okay = Array(0,1)
try {
  b(math.signum(x.toLong - y.toLong).toInt)
  // Handle x >= y case here
}
catch { case _ =>
  // Handle x < y case here
}

You could also
val handler = Array(
  () => {
    // Handle x < y
  },
  () => {
    // Handle x == y
  },
  () => {
    // Handle x > y
  }
)
handler(math.signum(x.toLong-y.toLong).toInt+1)()

which is slightly less silly (but still rather silly).

It's a wrap for salt works
A NORTHWICH packaging company has come to the aid of The Lion Salt Works Trust.
The Marston-based salt works, which is currently undergoing restoration, is planning to produce 'block salt' to be sold to visitors and other customers.
But the trust leaders needed to find someone who could supply authentic-looking wrappings for the salt blocks - and that's where packagers Bartec came to the rescue.
Andrew Fielding, of the Lion Salt Works, said: 'We thought we'd have to search up and down the country to find a company that could supply the original-type wax wrappings, so it was incredible when we realised Bartec could help us - especially as they are based only a mile down the road.'
Bartec's managing director Ute Cooper said: 'We supply wrappings and packaging tailor-made to people's requirements, so it was something we were delighted to help with.
'It was especially nice because my husband used to supply the salt wax wrappings many years ago.'
Bartec, based in Wincham Industrial Estate, is a member of Cheshire's Business After Hours Club, which helps companies to forge links and work together.
For details about the Business After Hours Club, or to become a member, ring 01606 553554.

Raymond Coulombe's older brother died during the Korean War and now 66 years later, he's received his long lost Purple Heart medal. U.S. Army Sergeant Joseph Coulombe was killed on March 31, 1951 in South Korea. He was awarded the medal of valor posthumously, but the Army sent it to his widow - and his family never knew he had gotten married.
So when his widow recently passed away, her family contacted an organization called Purple Hearts Reunited for help. The nonprofit helps return medals and artifacts to families, and they arranged for Raymond to fly from Los Angeles to Maine, where the brothers grew up.
He placed a flag on his brother's grave in New Hampshire and celebrated his 80th birthday by picking up his brother's Purple Heart at the American Legion post. "What they're doing for me, what they've opened to me after 66 years, I feel like an incredible person," he says. "I feel so blessed."
