Nomadix | October 14, 2020
Simplified for Guests; Right Sized for Hotels
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – October 14, 2020 – Nomadix Inc., a technology leader in hospitality and MDU, today announced its new cost-effective solution Nomadix Casting, which enables guests to choose the content they want to watch and cast it with their devices directly to the in-room TV. As more people "cut the cord" and stream their own content at home, the guest preference to access the same content when they travel has significantly increased. Nomadix Casting modernizes the guest experience while providing an affordable and secure solution for hotels to meet this new demand.
Branded to align with each hotel's look and feel and customizable in numerous languages, Nomadix Casting enables guests to quickly pair their devices with the in-room TV. No downloads are needed on guest devices, and there's no need to enter usernames with the remote or share passwords with the hotel. Thousands of apps are supported to allow guests to watch the latest Netflix episode, work out, listen to music or stream a business training video. Unlike mirrored casting solutions, once streaming starts, the process is offloaded to the casting server, which allows guests to use their iOS or Android devices without interrupting the streaming content.
"The global impact on the hospitality industry has forced hotels to find new ways to differentiate, increase safety and save money, and we are investing in developing products that offer the right-sized solution at the right price," said Tammy Estes, chief product officer at Nomadix. "Nomadix Casting is an easy-to-use, reliable product that allows guests to watch what they prefer, while eliminating the common headaches of remembering passwords or the security concern of logging into public devices."
Nomadix gateways provide authenticated, managed internet access for millions of hotel rooms at properties all over the world. For properties with Nomadix gateways integrated with the property management system (PMS), guest devices are automatically recognized and paired with the in-room TVs when they connect to the hotel Wi-Fi network. No other guest action is needed. For properties implementing Nomadix Casting as a stand-alone solution, guests can simply aim their cameras at the QR code on the in-room TV to pair their devices. Then they choose what they want to watch on their personal devices and click the casting button included in all popular content apps, such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube and many more.
Nomadix Casting is now generally available around the world. For more information, visit nomadix.com.
Nomadix will demo its new solutions at Cyber HITEC October 27-29, 2020, at booth #730.
About Nomadix
Nomadix is a world leader in edge gateways and is the industry standard for hospitality. In addition to its flagship hospitality product line, the company also offers reliable, affordable internet provisioning and management solutions for Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs).

Faye from Farm Life Best Life transformed this beautiful hall tree from plain to farmhouse chic with just a few products; All-in-One Decor Paint, Antiquing Wax, and Natural Wax! Find out how she did it.
When Faye picked up this plain, simple hall tree, she knew right away it was in for a farmhouse makeover.
She gave the whole piece a good cleaning with a mixture of vinegar and water, then applied two coats of the color, Dune Grass.
Next, she used two different grits of sandpaper to rough up the edges and give it a more rustic look.
Last but not least, Faye used a combination of Antiquing Wax and Natural Wax to add beautiful depth to the color.
Now she's ready for her new farmhouse home!

Visitor Questions:
Preliminary Statement:
To the best of your knowledge, please check all that apply:
I have experienced symptoms of COVID-19 in the past 14 days, including fever (of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher), cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, sore throat, abdominal pain/diarrhea, or new loss of taste or smell)
I have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 14 days
I have knowingly been in close or proximate contact in the past 14 days with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or who has or had symptoms of COVID-19, outside of clinical research, clinical care or clinical training)
*By submitting this daily health screening, you agree to the following:
TC's limited use of symptom data.
Visitors will be required to show their green day pass to public safety in order to enter the building.
Who is required to complete the daily health screening?
All members of the Teachers College community (students, faculty, and staff) who wish to enter campus for any purpose. If you are working from home or not entering campus, you are not required to complete the daily health screening.
Why is the daily health screening questionnaire required?
Daily health screening is required by New York State as a condition for office-based workers or for colleges and universities in New York State. The purpose is to help protect against the spread of COVID-19 as facilities reopen or continue to operate.
How often must the daily health screening questionnaire be completed?
Every day you plan to enter campus, prior to entry to campus facilities. Completion of the daily health screening will generate a date-stamped certificate, if you are cleared for entry to campus.
Suppose I develop a new symptom that is on the list while I am on campus. Am I required to notify the College, and how do I do this?
Yes, you are required by the New York State regulations to immediately report any new symptoms. You should do this by re-submitting the daily health screening. In addition, you must do the following:
(1) separate yourself from others
(2) Staff should notify their supervisor that they are unwell and are going to go home. Note that the reasons for being unwell are private and confidential, and you are not required to disclose to your supervisor that you have a symptom or symptoms consistent with COVID-19, or any other specific symptom.
(3) wear a face covering, go home, maintain physical distancing, and seek advice from a health care provider including possible testing for COVID-19; (4) follow procedures for return to work described below.
What if I develop new symptoms of COVID-19 while at home. Do I still need to update the daily health screening questionnaire?
Yes, if you have resumed on-site activity (meaning, you have returned to campus since August 1st, 2020) you must update the health screening questionnaire immediately upon any change, whether you are on campus or at home as per New York State regulations.
No, if you have not returned to on-site activity and have remained remote you are not required to complete the health screening questionnaire if you develop new symptoms while at home. However, you still should seek advice from a health care provider regarding your health and safety and those around you.
Will it take long to complete the daily health screening questionnaire?
No. The process is very quick, but it does require you to open the daily health screening questionnaire on your PC or mobile device, then type in your UNI and answer the questions.
What are the states that are covered by the New York State Governor's Executive Order 205 which requires that people returning from those states self-isolate for 14 days?
Those states are listed on New York State COVID-19 Travel Advisory.
Questionnaire and Entry to Teachers College Facilities
How will the College use the screening questionnaire to control entry into TC buildings?
Individuals who answer "No" to all of the questions will receive a pass with a green check that indicates you are cleared for entry via TC email.
If you have a smartphone, and you submit your information at this link, you will receive a 24-hour "day pass", with a date and time stamp on it, that you can show to public safety personnel or to other personnel assigned to checking access to College buildings.
Individuals who do not have a smartphone will need to use the kiosk and printer located at the main entrance of Teachers College, at 525 W 120th St. (Zankel hall) where they will receive verification by printing a copy of their day pass.
How will the College prevent individuals who answer yes on the COVID-19 screening questions from coming to work?
Individuals who answer "Yes" to any of the three screening questions will receive a pass with a red "X". Public Safety personnel will not permit any individual who does not have a day pass with a green check to enter the Teachers College campus.
The College is required to report on adherence with the daily health screening for all persons accessing its campus buildings. Thus, for all persons who access campus premises using a TCID card swipe, their names will be cross-checked with information from the daily health screening questionnaire to ensure that they are adhering to the daily reporting of symptoms.
Do I have to tell my supervisor if I answer yes to any of the health screening questions, such as that I have COVID19 symptoms?
No. This information is private and confidential; thus, you do not have to disclose it. In addition, supervisors may not ask specific questions about an individual's health or symptoms.
What is the procedure when an individual gives a positive response to the COVID-19 daily health screening?
All responses, negative and positive, are provided to the Office of Human Resources for staff, and the Office of Student Affairs for students. All information is confidential and will not be shared with a supervisor or anyone else, except to comply with state and local health department requirements. All these data will be deleted after 21 days.
Who will have access to my data?
Specific personnel from the Office of Human Resources and the Office of Student Affairs. Data will not be distributed to any other individual or department, except to comply with state and local health department requirements. In addition, extra effort regarding any required disinfection of work spaces for individuals reporting positive on the questionnaire will be communicated from HR to Facilities without disclosure of identity of the individual reporting positive response to any of the screening questions.
How long will the University keep the data that I provide?
Twenty-one (21) days. The data will be deleted thereafter.
Actions in the Event of Positive Case or Symptoms
If someone in my lab or office reports that they have symptoms or tests positive, what will happen next? Will my lab or building be shut down?
Facilities should be contacted to conduct the advanced cleaning and sanitation protocol of the space in which the person worked.
I am a supervisor. What should I do if one of my supervisees chooses to disclose that she or he has a symptom or symptoms on the COVID-19 checklist?
You should inform the individual to update the COVID-19 health screening questionnaire. This update will trigger appropriate responses by the Office of Human Resources, including triggering disinfection of relevant areas.
You should also close the workspace, office, or laboratory where that individual worked, notify co-workers not to enter it, and call Facilities to disinfect the workspace, office, or laboratory. You should refrain from disclosing specific reasons for an individual's illness, unless explicitly permitted by the individual.
Clearance and Return to Work
How are "false positives" who have, e.g., seasonal allergies or non-COVID-19 respiratory illness "cleared" to go back to work?
The symptom reporting process does not attempt to make a diagnosis or to distinguish between symptoms caused by COVID-19 or another cause. Individuals with symptoms should seek advice from a health care provider.
The procedures for being cleared to return to work for individuals with symptoms and for individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 are described below.
What is the return-to-work procedure for individuals who test positive for COVID-19?
If an employee tests positive for COVID-19, the employee may return to work upon completing at least 14 days of isolation from the onset of symptoms or 14 days of isolation after the first positive test if they remain asymptomatic. All individuals must use face coverings over the nose and mouth and observe other public health guidance while in campus facilities.
What is the procedure for returning to work for individuals who have had symptoms consistent with and a clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 or "I think or know I had COVID, and I had symptoms."
Individuals with symptoms consistent with COVID should consult a health care provider and are strongly urged to obtain testing. If the test is positive, the guidelines above apply. The employee may return to work upon completing at least 14 days of isolation from the onset of symptoms or 14 days of isolation after the first positive test. In addition, employees must be evaluated by a health care provider and present a fit-for-duty certificate to the Office of Human Resources before returning to work.
What is the return-to-work procedure for individuals who have had close or proximate contact with a person with COVID-19 and is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms?
If an individual has had close or proximate contact with a person with COVID-19 for a prolonged period of time (15 minutes or more and no physical distancing) AND is experiencing COVID-19 related symptoms, the individual may return to work upon completing at least 14 days of isolation from the onset of symptoms. In addition, employees must be evaluated by a health care provider and present a fit-for-duty certificate to the Office of Human Resources before returning to work.
The CDC defines "close contact" as an individual who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes, starting from 48 hours before illness onset until the time the person was isolated without use of face covering. The local health department should be contacted if the extent of contact between an individual and a person suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19 is unclear.
What is the procedure for returning to campus for individuals who have had close or proximate contact with a person with COVID-19 for a prolonged time and is NOT experiencing COVID-19 symptoms?
The individual must complete 14 days of self-quarantine, and present a fit-for-duty certificate to the Office of Human Resources before returning to work, after being evaluated by a healthcare provider.
What are return-to-work procedures for essential personnel?
If an individual is deemed essential and critical for the operation or safety of the workplace, upon a documented determination by their supervisor and the Office of Human Resources, in consultation with appropriate state and local health authorities, the exposed, asymptomatic employee may return to work so long as the individual adheres to the following practices prior to and during their on campus work, which should be monitored and documented by the employer and individual:
Regular monitoring: The individual must self-monitor for a temperature greater than or equal to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit daily, and symptoms consistent with COVID-19 (see TC EHS Community Training)
Wear a face covering or face mask: The employee must wear a face covering or face mask over the nose and mouth at all times while in the workplace for 14 days after last exposure.
Social/physical distance: The employee must continue social/physical distancing practices, including maintaining, at least, six feet of distance from others.
Clean and disinfect workspaces: Facilities will continue to provide enhanced cleaning and disinfection of all areas, such as offices, bathrooms, common areas, elevators, and shared spaces and equipment.
Maintain quarantine: The individual must continue to self-quarantine and self-monitor for temperature and symptoms when not at the workplace for 14 days after last exposure.
I have had long-lasting COVID-19 symptoms. How can I be cleared to return to work?
See response above regarding return to work for individuals with COVID-19. All individuals with symptoms of COVID-19 are strongly recommended to get tested.
Procedures for Visitors
How do these policies and procedures apply to visitors?
All visitors must be screened using the same questionnaire prior to being permitted to enter the Teachers College campus.
TC currently has a no-visitor policy; this will continue to be the policy after August 1, 2020, with exceptions for the following types of individuals:
Patients and individuals accompanying them. Screening of patients coming to campus facilities will be done at time of arrival.
Research participants and individuals accompanying them. Screening of research participants coming to Teachers College buildings will be done at the time of arrival (in addition to the day prior to the visit, if this is the protocol). The date and time of the screening, the fact that it was negative, and the name of the person doing the screening must be recorded in the case report form or research file/record for the participant.
All other visitors including outside vendors who are facilitating deliveries.
COVID-19 Supplemental to the Contractor Access and Safety Guidelines
This guideline and its requirements here-in shall serve as a temporary supplement to the Teachers College ("the College") Contractor Access and Safety Guidelines.
As stipulated in the College Contractor Access and Safety Guidelines, the health and safety of the College campus, its persons, and property, are of paramount importance to the College. It is a primary aim of the College to ensure the safety of its students, employees, visitors and those performing work on College property. To that end, contractors performing construction, renovation or repair work at the College must take full responsibility for establishing safe working practices, fully complying with all OSHA and other applicable safety standards, fully complying with New York City and New York State Orders and Guidelines pertaining to COVID-19, and fully complying with College requirements (see item 3.0 below) for the prevention of the transmission of the COVID-19 virus, and for policing themselves and their own employees and subcontractors to ensure such compliance. The College is not a General Contractor or Construction Manager, and is not itself in the business of construction or renovation. The College relies on its contractors and their staff to assume and enforce construction safety responsibilities, and safe practices to prevent exposure to and transmission of the COVID-19 virus.
Contractors and their contract staff members are responsible to follow safe procedures including those pertaining to COVID-19, take all necessary precautions, provide and require the proper use of adequate and safe equipment and safety devices, including appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), correct any unsafe conditions, investigate accidents and enforce safety rules. The College expressly does not assume any duty to supervise any specific means and methods of contractor work, to inspect for or correct unsafe conditions, to investigate accidents or enforce safety rules. The College fully relies on contractors to perform these functions, and only assumes duties and responsibilities that are expressly and specifically set forth and agreed in writing.
Definitions and Responsibility:
Contract Representative – The Teachers College Employee responsible for the administration of a particular project.
Contractor – Any individual or company hired by the College to perform construction, renovation, maintenance, repair, or specialty work for a specific project, as well as any subcontractors or their employees. Nothing herein shall be construed as having any bearing on whether any particular work or project is or is not "routine maintenance" work as set forth under the New York State Labor Law.
Contractor Staff Members – Any persons who are working at the College as employees or agents on behalf of a contractor, sub-contractor or sub-sub-contractor, including without limitation, principals, supervisors, foremen, laborers, helpers or any other staff members or workers.
Contractor Supervisor – The person or persons responsible to supervise and oversee the operations of a contractor and/or the work of contractor staff members for any work at the College. This person shall be the primary point of contact with the College.
College requirements for the prevention of the transmission of the COVID-19 virus:
All persons entering campus must complete a daily symptom check prior to entering campus each and every day. The contents of the daily symptom check shall be supplied daily to contract staff members by the contractor in the form of a hard copy questionnaire, on-line questionnaire, or smartphone app questionnaire. The contractor shall be required to maintain records of the daily symptom check completions by contract staff members and maintain up to a maximum of 30 days of daily symptom check records subject to review by the College Environmental Health & Safety Team. At minimum, the contractor's daily symptom check must include the following questions:
To the best of my knowledge, select any of the following:
Persons answering "Yes/checking the box" to question # 4 may enter campus.
Persons answering "Yes/checking the box" to any of questions #1, #2, or #3 may not enter campus, and in the case of a contract staff member shall immediately notify their contract supervisor. The contract supervisor must ensure that the contract staff member does not enter campus. The contract supervisor shall immediately notify the College contract representative.
All persons entering and remaining on campus must practice six-foot social distancing.
All persons entering and remaining on campus must wear a face covering. Contract staff members must wear PPE appropriate to the work-site on campus.
All persons entering campus shall disinfect their hands upon entry by using the Purell type dispensers located at campus entrances.
All persons entering and remaining on campus must follow the guidelines of COVID -19 prevention signage placed throughout campus, including but not limited to face coverings, elevator use, social distancing, pedestrian traffic flow, hand washing, restroom use, and use of Purell type hand disinfectant.
Daily Health Screening Entrance Signage Content
Daily Health Screenings for Campus Entry
Welcome to Teachers College!
All individuals who wish to enter campus are required to complete the Daily Health Screening. You may complete the Daily Health Screening at the kiosk, or using your smartphone by scanning the QR code that corresponds to your TC affiliation:
TC Students, Faculty and Staff
Hold your camera up to the barcode here:
QR code #1
Hold your camera up to the barcode here: QR code #2
Please check your email upon completion, and show the Day Pass attached in the email you received to the Public Safety Officer at the entrance to campus building to enter.
This questionnaire is pursuant to NYS COVID-19 Guidance for Higher Education, which requires all employees or visitors to affirm all of the aforementioned requirements for entering campus.
Modified Recommendation: Version 1 of the TC Health and Safety Proposal included a recommendation for mandatory temperature monitoring for all individuals who wish to enter campus. Upon further review of guidance on health screenings, the working group has decided to rescind this recommendation due to the following reasons:
Provides an extra sense of safety to the community
Not a valid predictor of COVID-19
Requires a significant amount of additional staff hours to administer
Limits entry points to campus
Difficult to provide privacy
Puts persons who administer the test at greater risk
Will likely cause bottlenecking at the main entrance, which exposes people to privacy issues, social distancing violations, and weather conditions
Other measures such as physical distancing, healthy hygiene practices, daily health screening, testing, and the community-wide Health and Safety training, and other measures, will be sufficient in mitigating risk of COVID-19 spread on campus. The CDC General Business Information Page describes on-site temperature checks to be an "optional strategy", and recommends having individuals self-screen prior to coming on-site, which the College is implementing through the Daily Health Screening requirement.

The pivot was also motivated by anticipations of an likely economic slowdown in Europe, Russia's traditional partner, and increasingly complex relations with it and the West in general. The need for diversification of economic ties and external sources of development became more obvious.
These assessments were backed up by a number of strong tendencies that had developed in the past decade. Firstly, the "world order" the West had been trying to impose upon other nations since what it apparently considered its final "victory" in early 1990-s began to fall apart and slide into a crisis.
Secondly, relative deglobalization and regionalization of the world economy and politics had manifested themselves quite palpably.
Thirdly, there had developed a growing tendency, connected with the previous one, to politicize economic relations, which made mutual dependence and dependence on any one market less lucrative if not entirely dangerous.
Finally, the "Asia for Asia" paradigm replaced the "Asia for the world" one as Asia and China in particular began to rely in their development increasingly on the domestic and regional markets. In parallel, ideological and spiritual emancipation was gaining momentum in once great Asian civilizations that had fallen into colonial or semi-colonial dependence from the West in the past two centuries. Asian countries absorbed many Western achievements, took advantage of the liberal world economic order created by the West, became stronger and began to demand a suitable place not only on the strategic map of the world, but also on the ideostrategic one.
It was obvious that the United States had become tired of its burdensome role of global hegemon and would inevitably step back, albeit temporarily. In fact, Barack Obama vowed to place more focus on internal renewal, but the old elites and inertia did not allow him to veer away from the costly and ineffective policy of interventionism. Donald Trump has only stepped up this inward refocusing. The United States has turned into a dangerous amalgam of residual interventionism and semi-isolationism, increasingly seeking to create its own center and abandoning some of the disadvantageous international obligations.
Something like a bipolar world has begun to emerge out of a multipolar world with its inherent chaos, with the U.S. being one center and Eurasia, the other. China appears to be its economic center. But the Eurasian center can only be viable if China does not claim hegemonic status in the region.
One way or another, having turned to the East, Russia has opened up many new, previously unexpected, opportunities.
Russia's pivot to the East, which was declared many times but actually began politically and economically in 2011-2012, has largely occurred. Despite the decline in Russia's foreign trade and devaluation of the ruble, trade with Asia is on the rise again and its share in the country's external trade turnover keeps growing.
Russia is rebalancing the unbeneficial and unbalanced structure of its foreign trade that developed during Soviet times and the subsequent collapse an chaotic reconstruction when the country swapped its energy resources for relatively expensive but economically less effective goods from the West, primarily Europe. Diversification of foreign trade will give Russia better positions in economic and political bargaining, shifting the balance in its favor.
Russia's eastward export flows include not only hydrocarbons but a growing amount of agricultural and other water-intensive products, and weapons.
There has been a significant increase in investment, so far mainly from China, exceeding $30 billion or probably even $40 billion. Trade and investment will further be boosted by a series of macro energy projects and the Free Port of Vladivostok project which encompasses most of the seaports on Russia's Pacific coast. There are also 15 advanced development territories operating in the country.
Russia and China have built allied relations de facto but not de jure, but they are increasingly complemented and balanced by stronger ties with Japan, Vietnam, other ASEAN countries, India, South Korea, and Iran.
Instead of anticipated rivalry in Central Asia, Moscow and Beijing are pairing or integrating, albeit slowly, the Silk Road initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union.
Russia's policy in Asia is becoming comprehensive and strategic in nature, but there is still a long way to go.
The depopulation of the Russian Far East has slowed down and may stop completely in the years to come.
Naturally, the economic pivot has been slow because of the accrued inertia, including economic mentality, the sluggishness of the Russian government agencies, corrupt elites, but most importantly because of economic stagnation and a weak investment climate, primarily for Russian small- and medium-sized businesses. Siberia has yet to become a land of economic freedom. This is what drove its development in tsarist times. We do hope that there will be no new GULAGs or relocation of industries there as it happened during World War II.
The government has so far did not deliver on its decision to move the head offices of major corporations and federal agencies to the Far East. And we believe it would be prudent to create a third, Eastern or Pacific, capital of Russia in the region.
As said, there is a long way ahead. But the most important transformation has already occurred―the Russian ruling elite has changed its geostrategic and geoideological orientation. For more than 300 years, despite the continuous eastward expansion, our elite considered its country a periphery of Europe, attracted or inspired by it. Europe graciously supported this urge, seeking to get economic and political concessions from an aspirant, and often did. The latest example is the abortive effort by the old Soviet and young Russian elites to become Europe's apprentice and play by its rules.
But Brussels' democratic Messianism and attempts to impose new, often post-European, values discouraged Russia's European aspirations. This tendency increased in the late 2000s as the European Union grew weaker from within.
But, clearly, a key factor in persuading the biggest part of the Russian elite to turn away from Europe was the greedy and reckless neo-Weimar policy that propelled Western alliances farther east into the territories which Russia considers vitally important for its security and for which the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union sacrificed millions of lives. This policy upset plans to create a sustainable system of all European security, a Common European home, or the Union of Europe.
Tension and mutual estrangement built up gradually, finally culminating in a dramatic deterioration of relations in 2013-2014.
Sanctions imposed in order to put pressure on Russia but even more so to stop the disintegration of the European Union by creating "an external enemy" exposed the risk of excessive dependence on the European market and pushed Russia towards new markets in the East.
The drift away from Europe continued on the ideological level: old anti-Western and anti-European proponents of Eurasian integration were partly sidelined by former Westernizers. Some of them started to prophesy that "Russia is not Europe," another part of the elite retorted that no other country but Russia was the "true" Europe, while still others did not go that far but advocated temporary cultural and political estrangement, as leading Russian international relations experts Fyodor Lukyanov and Alexei Miller put it.
The question of Russia's cultural positioning vis-a-vis Europe has not been decided yet, even though the general direction is quite obvious.
But the most crucial changes have occurred in politics and geostrategic thinking, and they become increasingly manifest in the economy as well. Russia, which used to consider itself a European province, began to view itself as a central Eurasian or probably northern Eurasian power. Eurasia in Russia's modern geopolitical rationale also includes the western part of the continent and is no longer anti-European as it was construed by old Soviet and Russian Eurasianists.
Russia's new geopolitical and geoeconomic self-identity means liberation from the moral and political dependence on the West, qualitative strengthening of positions in the dialogue with the West. But Russia has no plans to give up cooperation with European countries where it can be beneficial for this would be not only economically harmful but actually impossible and ideologically dangerous, threatening the identity of most Russian people who consider themselves Europeans even if they do not like many of the things in modern Europe which is turning into post-Europe by giving up a considerable part of its core values that were believed by Russian as their own.
Based on the assessments and forecasts of geoeconomic and geostrategic tendencies as well as the first results of the economic, political and mental pivot to the East, Russia has proposed creating a partnership of Greater Eurasia. This idea was officially supported by the leadership of Russia and China and became a bilateral initiative open to other countries.
Russia's new Asian policy will be closely intertwined with its second, European, third, southern, and fourth, Northern or Arctic, dimensions, and naturally with the American one to the extent possible, of course.
It would be beneficial for Russia and Russians to cooperate with other European countries and Europeans on a new level and a new basis. Europe is our customary partner and a comfortable supplier of technologies and goods.
A new rapprochement with old partners is greatly facilitated by Russia's latest foreign policy successes: the deadly expansion of Western alliances was halted in Ukraine, albeit belatedly and at a high cost, and the senseless regime change rush was stopped in Syria. Russia has cast off the fetters of a semi-Weimar and defensive country to play its habitual role of a victorious power with regained self-confidence.
A partnership or community of Greater Eurasia is, first of all, a conceptual framework that sets the direction for interstate interaction on the continent. It should be aimed at fostering joint economic, political and cultural renewal and development of dozens of Eurasian countries, which were largely backward and suppressed in the past, and turning Eurasia into a center of global economy and politics.
It will encompass East, Southeast and South Asian countries, central Eurasia, Russia, and apparently a bigger part of the European subcontinent, its countries and their organizations to the extent to which they may be able to develop constructive cooperation.
Secondly, Greater Eurasia is an emerging geoeconomic space engendered by the "Asia for Asia" tendency, China's westward turn and integration with the Eurasian Economic Union, and Russia's pivot to the East.
A key factor in the development of Greater Eurasia is an accelerated creation of transcontinental transport infrastructure, including East-West routes, and more and more of the North-South ones, which for the most part remain underdeveloped and hinder further growth.
Thirdly, it is an area of civilizational cooperation reemerging after a centuries-long hiatus. It was symbolized by the cultural dimension of the Great Silk Road that embraced the great civilizations of China, India, Persia, and the Arab Near East and connected them with Europe via the Eastern Roman Empire-Byzantium, Venice, and Spain.
Fourthly, Greater Eurasia means a movement towards a new geostrategic reality―a pan-Eurasian area of development, cooperation, peace, and security called upon to overcome the remaining Cold War-era divisions, prevent new ones, and regulate disagreements and tensions between member states. Its most important possible function is an "immersion" into the network of China's ties, cooperative relations, balances, and agreements in order to keep it from turning into a potential hegemon against which other Eurasian countries will inevitably close ranks and invite external balancers that are less interested in preserving peace and stability on the continent. At the same time, Greater Eurasia should be open to the rest of the world, another major center emerging around the United States through APEC and similar forums, Atlantic structures, and a Russia-China-U.S. trialogue we recommend for addressing global problems and international strategic stability issues.
Greater Eurasia should form on the basis of traditional values enshrined in international law and the normal rules of international life, and reject universalism, supremacy of certain values over others, and a priori rightness or hegemony.
– Protection of human rights inseparably from the rights of societies and the states.
Greater Eurasia is also a conceptual framework for Russia's forward-looking geostrategic and geoeconomic self-identification as the center and the north of the rising continent, one of its transport and economic hubs and a key security provider. Owing to its centuries-old experience of cooperation with both the West and the East, peaceful co-existence of many different religions, and openness of its culture, Russia is destined to play a central role in forging and restoring cultural interaction in Eurasia. But Russia will not give up its precious European cultural roots and will keep cultivating them.
Greater Eurasia is a conceptual framework for a joint project or, to be more precise, many projects of its member states and their organizations willing to pursue a common goal of building a continent of development, peace, and close cooperation. In its initial stages, a leading role should belong to the Russia-China tandem? whose leaders have officially supported the Greater Eurasia partnership concept. Now the concept needs to be fleshed out in a multilateral format.
This conceptual framework permits to study while using the abovementioned tendencies to direct the efforts of countries, organizations and dialogue formats towards forming and formalizing a new geoeconomic, geopolitical and geocultural reality―a partnership and subsequently a community of Greater Eurasia. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) appears to be a natural negotiation platform for that, provided it becomes more dynamic and open and turns from a purely regional construct into an organization of organizations, a forum for discussing problems. Dialogues between the SCO and the European Union and between the Eurasian Economic Union and the EU could also be helpful. Work can start on the expert level and continue in an expert-political forum for Eurasian development, cooperation and security. But it would be much more convenient, of course, to use an existing organization (provided it continues to evolve) than create a new one that has no institutional basis.
Naturally, creating a new structure on the basis of the SCO (if it thrives and evolves) will require effective joint efforts of its members, primarily Russia and China, whose previous activities in the organization were restricted by their attempts to restrict each other in the economic (Russia was apparently wary of China's dominance) and security (China presumably opposed Russia's leadership) fields. Presently, development is hindered by disagreements between India and China. There should be a new format that would overcome old differences. Joint efforts to build a partnership of Greater Eurasia could be such a format. It will require all sides concerned to pool their efforts and competitive advantages for their common benefit.
The progress achieved in the "pivot to Asia" should be followed not only by further development of existing projects but also by new ones. But before that it would be necessary to once again make an in-depth analysis and prognosis of Asian and Pacific markets in order to channel investments, quite modest for the time being, into industries whose products will sell well for a long time.
The pivot to Asia should be tied in with a currently nonexistent strategy of Russia's economic recovery and development.
For example, it is quite possible that an infrastructure investment boom in Trump's America and China's possible massive financial commitments to these projects may boost demand for metals and other energy-intensive commodities traditionally exported by Russia. At the same time, demand for coal is likely to decline in Asia and the rest of the world, and this requires a major overhaul in the coal industry and enormous transport flows associated with it. The pivot to Asia needs to be intensified also because Russia started it belatedly and lost huge profits due to the economic and intellectual turmoil of the 1990s and the early 2000s.
In addition to the development of latitudinal infrastructure, priority attention should also be paid to North-South transport routes that would hook up not only the Russian Far East but also central and western regions of Siberia and territories around the Urals to the rapidly growing markets in Western China, Iran, India, and Pakistan.
Despite the current slowdown in integration processes in EEU caused by the economic crisis, it needs a new long-term agenda. It could be a common transport and trade policy or integration into a common area of Greater Eurasia on the best possible terms and participation in the development of its standards and rules.
It is necessary to create multilateral technological alliances with different countries both in the west and the east of the continent. Most high-tech industries cannot develop if they focus entirely on the domestic or even allied markets. Technological alliances are also needed for preempting risks of possible further politicization of the world economy, primarily, but not entirely, by the West.
The progress achieved in the pivot to Asia also requires Russia to think about what exactly it expects and demands from its Asian partners. There are elements in the growing cooperation that do not satisfy Russia, such as persisting barriers to many of its goods and investments as well as bureaucratic and political hurdles.
Finally, Russia should decide how and if it is going to participate in integration associations in Asia and the Pacific. The Trans-Pacific Partnership has so far proved abortive. But there is the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership led by ASEAN and China and embracing most of the countries in the region. Faced with predicaments in working out a common position and a lack of expertise, Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union have so far abstained from negotiations, giving priority instead to a network of bilateral free trade areas. But it is not clear whether such "abstention" can be beneficial in the long term.
A separate set of tasks concerns the vector of Russia's foreign-policy and military-political participation in Asian and Pacific affairs. With many old conflicts resurfacing in the region, America most likely set to increase its containment policy against China and play upon differences among regional states, and perhaps most importantly, with Beijing's neighbors getting truly concerned about its growing power, notwithstanding its actual policy and intensions, Russia could play a constructive role as an experienced actor with powerful diplomacy and friendly relationships with the majority of countries. All the more so since there is no well-established and stable security system in the region yet.
Objectively speaking, Russia is potentially the biggest security provider in the region and the world at large through strategic deterrence and dialogue (latter is virtually nonexistent now) with the United States and eventually through a Russia-China-U.S. trialogue, if the sides ever come to realize the need for it.
Russia and China will also have to deepen their "comprehensive, equal and trust-based partnership and strategic cooperation" which is close to allied relations but lacks strong ties on the middle and grassroots levels, particularly among businesses, but most importantly it lacks "strategic depth," that is, a common long-term co-development goal.
Interaction to create a partnership or community of Greater Eurasia could become such a goal for both states as well as all Eurasian countries.
– Creating a comprehensive and independent information and analytical mega agency combining information collection and dissemination with analysis, a sort of a mixture of Al Jazeera or the BBC and Stratfor, tentatively called Eurasia News. It could allow countries in the region to gain greater intellectual independence and better resist increasingly politicized information flows.
The purpose of creating such an information and analytical agency is, among other things, to develop a theory of international relations focusing on new realties and the future, and reflecting the interests of Eurasian countries.
This means, for example, interaction and interpenetration of civilizations instead of their conflict, infinite and recurring development of humankind instead of the end of history etc.
– As far as security is concerned, it would be advisable to create a continental security system in addition to the existing formats that would partially and gradually replace outdated structures (such as the OSCE). The prevailing way to ensure security in Greater Eurasia should be non-alignment or neutrality guaranteed by the leading international players (above all by Russia, China, and the United States).
The first step towards building such a security system could be, as mentioned, an expert, and subsequently expert-political, forum for cooperation and security in Greater Eurasia.
While building Greater Eurasia and advancing its own pivot to Asia, Russia should definitely think about relaunching interaction with its traditional partner, Europe, on a new political, economic and conceptual basis. This is all the more relevant now that the continuing European project crisis prods many countries on the old subcontinent into revising their counterproductive policy towards Russia. European countries are also contemplating their own "pivot to the East" and many of them have already outrun Russia.
There is no clarity at this point on how Russia should reset its European policy as the situation in the west of Eurasia remains ambiguous. But there is clearly an objective need for such a reset.

Second Battle of Panipat
The rise of a humble grocer of Rewari to the viziership of the Sur empire was not by luck, but due to his loyalty, hard work and skills.
Hemu was the trusted confidant, prime minister and commander-in-chief of the Afghan king Adil Shah Suri, nicknamed Adali. He was the power behind the throne of Adil Shah.
Due to the civil war of Sur governors, Adil Shah lost most of his dominions. He made Chunar his capital. Delhi was under the possession of Sikandar Suri, another Sur pretender.
Hemu was so brave that he fought and won twenty two battles against the rivals of his master Adil Shah.
Last Rulers of Suri Dynasty
While Hemu was engaged in dealing with the Sur rebels Ibrahim and Muhammad Shah, Humayun defeated Sikandar Suri and recovered Delhi. Sikandar fled towards Punjab.
Adali was raising a strong force to carry on war against Humayun. At this time, he received the news of Humayun's death (January 1556).
Hemu was soon dispatched towards Agra with a large force and war elephants. Without offering any resistance Sikandar Khan Uzbeg, the governor, abandoned the fort and fled towards Delhi, which resulted in Hemu's occupation of Agra. Shadi Khan, another chief of Adali, engaged the Mughals at Sambhal under Khan Zaman Ali Quli Shaibani.
After occupying Agra, Hemu marched towards Delhi. At this time Hemu's enemy, the thirteen year old son of Humayun, Akbar, was in Punjab.
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
Prince Akbar was engaged in subduing Sikandar Suri with his guardian Bairam Khan in Punjab when he received the news of his father's death. Bairam Khan and other officers raised him to the throne.
When the news of Humayun's death reached Kabul, Akbar's rebellious cousin Mirza Sulaiman, the governor of Badakhshan, advanced on Kabul and besieged it.
The bulk of the Mughal Army was at that time in Kabul due to Mirza Sulaiman's rebellion. Delhi was then held by the Mughal governor Tardi Beg Khan. Tardi Beg sent express messages to the Mughal chiefs of the neighbourhood to come to his aid. The detachment under Ali Quli Khan Shaibani which was engaged in fighting Shadi Khan at Sambhal was also on the way to Delhi to join Tardi Beg.
On 6 October 1556, Hemu reached Delhi and encamped near Tughlaqabad.
Many officers in Tardi Beg's army decided to wait for Mughal reinforcement from Kabul or at least for the detachment of Ali Quli. But finally they decided upon giving him battle and on 7 October both armies drew up.
The Mughal vanguard and their left wing broke and routed Hemu's vanguard and right wing and pursued them. Rai Husain Jalwani, the commander of Hemu's right wing, was killed, along with 3000 men. The victorious Mughals now turned to plunder.
At this juncture Hemu attacked the center of the Mughal army which was commanded by Tardi Beg, and smashed it. Unable to withstand the assault, Tardi Beg abandoned the battle and fled to Sirhind. Hemu, suspecting this to be treachery, didn't pursue the defeated enemy. When the Mughal wings returned to the battle field after the plunder, they saw that their center had disintegrated, and they retreated.
Victorious Hemu got possession of 160 elephants, 1000 Arab horses along with immense property and valuables.
With the capture of Delhi, Hemu became the de facto ruler of Adil Shah's dominions.
Truth of Hemu's Sovereignty
News of this disaster reached Akbar's camp on 13 October. Leaving a force under Khizr Khwaja Khan, the husband of Gulbadan Begum, in Punjab, to carry on the war with Sikandar Suri, he marched in person with Bairam Khan towards Delhi. At Sirhind, Ali Quli Khan and other defeated chiefs joined Akbar.
When they reached Sarai Karunda, a place near Karnal, Bairam Khan sent an advance guard under the charge of Ali Quli Khan towards Panipat. This corps was supported by another body of Bairam Khan's followers composed of Shah Quli Mahrum and others. Bairam Khan and the prince with the rest of the army followed them.
Akbar was kept at a distance of five kos from Panipat, with a select guard of 500 men.
Upon the news of Akbar's march, Hemu sent his artillery ahead of him under Mubarak Khan and Bahadur Khan towards Panipat, which was surprised and captured by Ali Quli Khan and others of the Mughal advance guard.
Hemu still had a numerically superior army 'as the locusts and ants of the desert' composed of Afghans and Rajputs. He relied especially on his well armed and trained elephants. Some of Hemu's officers were his relatives: Taharpal, Rajya or Ramaiyya and Bhagwan Das. To increase the zeal of his officers, he distributed among them treasure and land grants. He also gave them hopes of increase of salaries and promotion in rank.
Abul Fazl has given an account of Hemu's 'mountain-like and dragon-mouthed' elephants: Among them were 500 palmary elephants. 'Each one of those famous elephants was capable of disordering a large force. They were especially calculated to confuse the onset of cavalry, as the horses had never seen such terrific forms...They ruined lofty buildings by shaking them, and sportively uprooted strong trees. In the hour of battle and contest they lifted up man and horse and flung them into the air'.
These elephants carried musketeers and cross-bow men, clad in suits of mail and armour on their backs. The elephants had their trunks armed with spears and knives. They were placed in charge of experienced drivers: Ghalib Jang was assigned to Ḥasan Khan Faujdar; Gaj Bhanwar was assigned to Maikal Khan; Jor Banyan was given to Ikhtiyar Khan; Fauj Madar was assigned to Sangram Khan; and elephant Kali Beg, which had in many battles been ridden by Hemu himself, was on that day entrusted to Capan.
5 November 1556:
The advance guard of the Mughals drew up on the field of Panipat and waited for the attack of Hemu. Their right wing was commanded by Sikandar Khan Uzbeg, left by Abdullah Khan Uzbeg and the center was in charge of Khan Zaman Ali Quli Khan Shaibani.
Hemu's right wing was commanded by Shadi Khan, left by his sister's son Ramaiyya, while he himself occupied the center, seated on his elephant named 'Hawai' (the wind).
Both the armies stood in line in battle array on the plains of Panipat. The strength of Hemu's army was around 30000 horsemen and about 1500 war elephants. The smaller Mughal army had around 15000 men.
Bairam Khan moved in front of the ranks, and round the divisions, and took measures for preserving the rules of war, and the protection of points.
Swords and lances crossed. Hemu with his fierce war elephants made successive assaults on the Mughal army and their right and left wings were thrown into disorder. He now moved himself with the elephants towards the center against Khan Zaman Ali Quli Khan. The Mughal army began to shower arrows. According to Badauni ''Hemu in those circumstances, kept shouting his battle cry 'give and take' and also repeating a charm which he had learnt''.
Hemu was about to win the battle, but an arrow struck him in his eye, which decided the fate of the battle. Seeing this sight, his soldiers lost heart and began to flee. "But that valiant man, drew the eye out of the socket with the arrow; and, in that terrible condition, continued the fight with unequaled resolution and courage. He encouraged the few who remained by his side, and advanced through a bloody path which his weapons made", says Ferishta.
Unfortunately, there were no other men alive in his army brave enough to continue the fight. His ablest officers Shadi Khan and Bhagwan Das were already slain. Thus his army was defeated.
When Hemu's army became dispersed, the Mughals pursued and massacred them. They collected an immense booty. Shah Quli Khan Mahrum took the wounded Hemu prisoner to Akbar, where he was beheaded.
Was it Akbar who Killed Hemu?
Aftermath:
A force under Pir Muhammad Sarwani was sent to Mewat. After capturing Mewat, they marched towards Deoti Macheri, where Hemu's father and relatives had taken shelter.
Hemu's father was taken alive and brought before Pir Muhammad who tried to change his religion, but the old man said, "For eighty years I've worshiped my God, according to this religion. Why should I change it at this time, and why should I, merely from fear of my life, and without understanding it come into your way of worship". At this he was put to death.
Hemu's widow escaped with elephants laden with gold and treasures to the jungles of Bajwara. She was pursued and a part of the treasure was recovered from her. The jagir of Mewat was conferred on Pir Muhammad.
Hemchandra Vikramaditya, Great Warrior of Second Battle of Panipat
No doubt, Hemu was one of India's greatest generals. It was Hemu's generalship which had so long preserved Adil Shah's position against his enemies. Ferishta remarks: "Hemu had certainly great abilities, notwithstanding his mean descent". "For on none of the former occasions was there a ruler of India, possessed of such courage, enterprise, and plan", states Abul Fazl. The only battle he lost was the battle in which he died.
Though, the true commander on the Mughal side was Khan Khanan Bairam Khan Turkoman, he too was absent from the battlefield. In fact Akbar had only a little role in this battle.
[Please note that the first image is actually a false representation of the battle.]
The second battle of Panipat marked the end of the Sur dynasty and the Mughal empire was re-established in India under Akbar.
A Short History of War Elephants:
Elephants had been used in war in India since at least the 4th century BCE. Specially trained and often protected by armor, they were mainly used to charge the enemy's troops, break their ranks, and spread panic and terror. Panipat was the first time that artillery and guns had been used against elephants. The results were devastating, and the use of elephants in warfare swiftly declined. (Battles That Changed History)

Ľudmila Pajdušáková (29 June 1916 – 6 October 1979) was a Slovak astronomer.
She specialized in solar astronomy, and also discovered a number of comets, including periodic comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdušáková, and the non-periodic C/1946 K1 (Pajdušáková-Rotbart-Weber), C/1948 E1 (Pajdušáková-Mrkos), C/1951 C1 (Pajdušáková) and C/1953 X1 (Pajdušáková).
She observed at Skalnaté Pleso Observatory and became its third director from 1958 to 1979.
The asteroid 3636 Pajdušáková is named after her.
She may have been married to Antonín Mrkos. In a 1951 "Comet Notes" article in Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific [PASP 63 (1951) 209], Leland E. Cunningham in discussing comet C/1951 C1 refers to her as "Miss Pajdušáková (Mrs. Mrkos)", and there was an astronomy book published in 1956 by Ľudmila Mrkosová-Pajdušáková, as well as various scientific papers under this name from approximately 1952–1958. However, their respective biographies do not seem to mention any such marriage.

Islamic State says London Bridge attack carried out by one of its fighters
Metropolitan police say five people were stabbed in total inside Fishmonger's Hall before members of public pursued attacker onto London Bridge
Policeman walks past forensic tents outside home in Stafford being searched on Saturday in connection with stabbings in London (Reuters)
MEE and agencies
Published date: 30 November 2019 19:57 UTC | Last update: 1 month 3 weeks ago
The Islamic State (IS) group on Saturday claimed responsibility for a stabbing attack in central London the previous day that killed two people. The group did not provide any evidence.
The group's Amaq news agency said the attack by one of its fighters came in response to IS calls to target countries that have been part of a coalition fighting them in Syria and Iraq, Reuters reported.
British police on Friday fatally shot a man wearing a fake suicide vest who fatally stabbed two people and wounded three more before being wrestled to the ground by bystanders on London Bridge.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson vowed on Saturday to review Britain's sentencing system after a "convicted terrorist" released early from prison carried out the attack, AFP reported.
London Bridge: Two stabbing attack victims have died, police say
Bystanders - one armed with a narwhal tusk and another with a fire extinguisher - have been hailed as heroes for preventing even greater loss of life by tackling Usman Khan before police shot the attacker.
Video footage of the confrontation showed Khan, 28, being challenged by a man wielding the tusk, believed to have been grabbed from a historic hall where the stabbings began, as another person sprayed him with the extinguisher.
He had been conditionally released from jail last December after serving less than half of a 16-year prison sentence.
Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said in a briefing on Saturday that five people were stabbed in total inside Fishmonger's Hall before members of the public pursued the attacker onto London Bridge. The three survivors remain in hospital.
Basu added that Khan had been released under "an extensive list of licence conditions" with which he had previously been complying.
Police on Saturday searched two properties in Stoke-on-Trent, Khan's home city, and Stafford in central England.
Investigators have said they are not actively seeking anyone else in connection with the stabbings.
The incident comes two years after three attackers in a van ploughed into pedestrians on London Bridge before stabbing people at random in nearby Borough Market.
On that occasion, eight people were killed and 48 wounded before the three, who were wearing fake suicide devices, were shot dead by police.

« Indians See US As Biggest Military Threat After China: Survey
IAF's C-17 fleet to get minor updates »
Does French Navy's cryptic comment mean Rafales will soon deck INS Vikrant?
As the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, currently in the Indian Ocean, begins Indo-French naval exercise Varuna, speculation is rife that a formal contract for decking the naval version of Rafale fighter jets on the INS Vikrant, India's brand new carrier could soon be on the cards.
Welcoming on board officers from the Indian Navy's guided missile stealth frigate INS Teg on Monday, the French Carrier Strike Group signalled a major development in the offing for the strengthening of the Franco-Indian strategic partnership.
"Happy to sea you INS Teg. Beginning of our cooperation with Indian Navy. INS Teg is conducting operational drills with the French CSG in the Indian Ocean. Something BIG is coming between our two navies!" tweeted the official handle of French CSG.
Emmanuel Lenain, the Ambassador of France to India, also advised to "stay tuned for more!" as both navies kicked off the bilateral exercise on the Western seaboard on Monday.
Paris has time and again reaffirmed its engagement in the Indo-Pacific and India's centrality in the French strategy for the region.
As reported by IndiaNarrative.com earlier, France is offering Dassault Aviation's Rafale maritime fighter for carrier operations on India's first indigenously designed and built aircraft carrier INS Vikrant.
Last November, French Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu boarded the largest ship ever built in the maritime history of India to highlight the central role of naval cooperation between the two countries.
"France and India are united in their desire to defend their maritime sovereignty and guarantee freedom of movement at sea in the Indo-Pacific zone," said the French Defence Minister.
While 2022 saw an acceleration of the French and Indian armed forces' endeavours towards greater interoperability through joint air, navy, and army exercises, such as IMEX 22 (March), Varuna (March-April), and Garuda (October-November), 2023 has started with the conduct of the 21st edition of Varuna bilateral naval exercise.
The five-day high tempo-naval operations at sea till January 20 will witness the participation of indigenous guided missile stealth destroyer INS Chennai, guided missile frigate INS Teg, maritime patrol aircraft P-8I and Dornier, integral helicopters and MiG29K fighter aircraft.
The French Navy is represented by the aircraft carrier Charles De Gaulle, frigates FS Forbin and Provence, support vessel FS Marne and maritime patrol aircraft Atlantique.
According to the Indian Navy, the exercise will witness advanced air defence drills, tactical manoeuvres, surface firings, underway replenishment and other maritime operations.
"Units of both navies will endeavour to hone their war-fighting skills in maritime theatre, enhance their inter-operability to undertake multi-discipline operations in the maritime domain and demonstrate their ability as an integrated force to promote peace, security and stability in the region," it said in a statement.
The exercise, it added, not only provides an opportunity to learn from each other's best practices but also facilitates operational-level interaction between the two navies to foster mutual cooperation for good order at sea, underscoring the shared commitment of both nations to security, safety and freedom of the global maritime commons.

The episode title-game is afoot!
With Sherlock Season 4 returning on January 1, 2017, there already might be few clues as to what will happen based solely on the existing Sir Arthur Conan Doyle canon of stories and novels.
Sherlock has never adapted any of the original stories outright, but has paid faithful tribute to the spirit of the adventures. Since it debuted in 2010, its episode titles have often given an advance clue as to what might be afoot in each adventure. With only a few exceptions, most episodes titles are a play on one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes tales. The first episode of the show ever was "A Study in Pink" which modified the first Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet. The second season episode "A Scandal in Belgravia" was a play on the story "A Scandal in Bohemia." The next episode, "The Hounds of Baskerville" modifies the novel title The Hound of the Baskervilles and so on.
So, with that in mind, here are four tales from the classic Doyle canon to brush up on before season four premieres.
The first episode in the new series is called "The Six Thatchers," an obvious reference to Doyle short story "The Six Napoleons." The original story is all about a bizarre string of vandalism in which busts of Napoleon are being smashed with a hammer. Far from being the work of someone with a political grudge against Napoleon, Sherlock Holmes deduces it's all about what is being concealed in the busts, not what they represent. While this doesn't tell us much about the plot itself, the original story is one in which Holmes works closely with Lestrade, which bodes well for TV's fan favorite detective. Holmes also gives information to the press in the story which is intentionally false, something Cumberbatch Sherlock would totally do, too. There's also a funny reference here to a character named Harker, which might have been a shout-out Conan Doyle was giving to Jack Harker from Dracula. Either way, maybe expect a vampire joke?
The second episode of the new season of Sherlock is called "The Lying Detective," a play on a fairly short, but undeniably memorable, original story titled "The Dying Detective." In the original tale, Sherlock Holmes pretends to be on his deathbed in order to trick a criminal into admitting to the crime of poisoning. The villain of this story is named Culverton Smith, and actor Toby Jones is playing a character with the exact same name in the new season. In the story, Culverton Smith is a one-off baddie, but it is implied Holmes has been pursuing him for awhile. Some fans also have speculated for years that Culverton Smith himself and the "Giant Rat of Sumatra" (a case only referenced in the canon) are one and the same. The new Culverton Smith could be an agent of Moriarty for sure, or perhaps, different from his book persona altogether.
The last episode of the new season is strangely entitled "The Final Problem," which is the title of the the last story in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes and was — at the time of its publication — Conan Doyle's feeble attempt to kill off the character permanently. Theoretically, the show Sherlock has already loosely adapted "The Final Problem" no less than three times before now. In the first season's "The Great Game," Holmes and Moriarty meet near a swimming pool, similar in tone to the Reichenbach waterfalls of the original story. But, then, Season 2's finale "The Reichenbach Fall" more firmly established itself as "The Final Problem," complete with Sherlock Holmes falling to, and faking, his death just as he did in the original story. Finally, last year's one-off special "The Abominable Bride" depicted a dreamlike version of a Victorian "Final Problem," though all of that was in Sherlock's mind.
What could it mean this time? The best guess is that the episode could re-explore the events of "The Reichenbach Fall" and finally give us a satisfactory answer to how Sherlock really faked his death in Season 2. And if he didn't fake his death, then who the hell is this person?
One of the least-talked about Sherlock Holmes adventures, this novel nonetheless contains the only other direct effects of Professor Moriarty's actions other than "The Final Problem," and "The Empty House." In it, Sherlock Holmes is contacted by an agent of Moriarty, and tasked with a cipher to determine the contents of the message. Starting with the agent Porlock's riddles, the story has some of Conan Doyle's more thrilling plot structure. Plus, it establishes that Moriarty has written a book called The Dynamics of an Asteroid. If the riddle of how Moriarty is sending messages from the dead is ever going to be answered, there may be some clues in The Valley of Fear. The only tricky thing here is that original novel contradicts the rest of the established Sherlock Holmes cannon insofar as it contains advanced information Watson has about Moriarty, that he simply shouldn't know. Unless of course, The Valley of Fear and perhaps, this new version of "The Final Problem," give us new insight into how and why Watson might drastically alter his chronicling of the Sherlock Holmes adventures.
Sherlock Season 4 debuts on New Year's Day on PBS Masterpiece Mystery and BBC1.

Antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) - a neglected anti-HIV immune response!
The importance of HIV-specific Antibody-dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC) antibodies that inhibit viral replication mediated through the Fc receptor is becoming clear. In view of the difficulty of inducing broad neutralising antibodies and effective T cell immunity, exploring HIV-specific ADCC is a priority. HIV-specific ADCC has been under-explored both from the point of view of rapid, reliable assays to measure and characterise ADCC responses and the ability to specifically induce high level HIV-specific ADCC antibodies by vaccination. Recent data from the RV144 vaccine study in Thailand suggest a role for non-neutralising antibodies in protection from HIV.
Combined Influenza-AIDS Vaccines
Influenza and HIV are both serious global pathogens. Can a single vaccine be designed to cover both viruses? Recent advances in reverse genetic techniques allow insertion of foreign antigens into live influenza viruses. Further, live attenuated influenza vaccines are now highly effective vaccines. Stephen's group is designing recombinant influenza vaccines with inserted HIV antigens to test as a combined Influenza-AIDS vaccine. An advantage of this strategy is that as a mucosal virus, there is a strong likelihood that immunity at mucosal surfaces, where HIV is first encountered, can be induced with this approach.
Nanoparticle HIV vaccines
No safe HIV vaccines have been able to stimulate durable, activated T-cell immunity. Stephen's group is investigating an exciting HIV vaccination approach using hollow, submicron, delivery vehicles (nanocapsules) as carriers for HIV vaccines. This is a novel, cross-disciplinary project within the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence in Bio-Nano interactions. Nanocapsules are designed to induce optimal immune responses by protecting antigens from degradation prior to reaching sites of immune activation and activate antigen presenting cells in a way that will initiate anti-viral immune responses. Stephen's group aims to use controlled-release nanocapsules to stimulate durable anti-HIV responses in vivo.
NKT cells, MAIT cells and HIV
NKT cells are a small but very important lymphocyte population in blood that possess potent antiviral and antitumor activities. NKT cells are depleted during HIV infection. Stephen's group are now devising strategies to enhance the biologic utility of NKT cells in fighting HIV. They are also starting to study an interesting population of cells called Mucosal-associated Invariant T cells (MAIT cells). MAIT cells are likely to be important in protecting HIV-infected people from damage at mucosal surfaces such as the gut.
Checkmating HIV - trapping immune escape HIV strains
CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) can be effective at controlling HIV-1, but their utility is partly offset by mutational escape. The kinetics of CTL escape, and reversion of escape mutant viruses upon transmission to MHC-mismatched hosts can help understand CTL-mediated viral control and the fitness cost extracted by immune escape mutation. The work has implications for how best to control HIV during early infection.
Influenza – specific ADCC: role in a Universal Flu vaccine?
Influenza mutates regularly to avoid neutralising antibodies. Immune responses targeting more conserved areas are needed to combat new flu pandemics. Stephen's group have adapted and refined their HIV ADCC assays to study Influenza. They have found there is a remarkable degree of cross-reactivity in influenza ADCC immunity. They recently found that influenza ADCC can play a role in reducing the severity of the 2009 Swine Flu epidemic. The work opens up a whole new field of flu immunity. They are now studying how flu-specific ADCC can be induced by vaccination and lead to protective immunity.
COVID-19 monoclonal antibody research
From early 2020 the Kent lab is now urgently working on the pandemic coronavirus. We are taking our knowledge on immunity to HIV and Influenza and applying it to develop antibody treatments and vaccines for SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the COVID-19 illness. We have recruited blood samples from people who have recovered from COVID-19 to understand how their antibodies work to control COVID-19. Some of this work has recently been submitted for publication. This research, led by Adam Wheatley, aims to generate monoclonal antibodies as a potential therapy or prophylaxis for COVID-19. Our work on generating monoclonal antibodies against influenza provides a sound basis for this.
COVID-19 specific antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity
Dr Wen Shi Lee, Kent Group together with Dr Amy Chung's group are trying to understand if Fc functions of anti- SARS-CoV-2 antibodies play a role in assisting immunity or not – this is an area we have extensively worked on for HIV and Influenza. We are attempting to dissect the role of prior human coronavirus infection on subsequent immunity to COVID-19. Amy has recently submitted work on antibody profiling in subjects of different ages and those recovered from COVID-19.
A HIV vaccine is urgently needed. The Kent lab is working towards this goal. Our dedicated staff and students drive innovation and new thinking in ways to tackle the HIV/AIDS epidemic. To further understand how immune responses can control HIV, we have a series of projects involved in developing new assays to measure immunity and the effect these immune responses have on the virus. We have extensively studied antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), which appears to play a role in vaccine-induced immunity to HIV. We are also trying to understand how neutralising antibodies that have ADCC activity can control HIV. We have ongoing projects led by Dr Jen Juno studying small but important lymphocyte populations such as T-follicular helper cells, gamma-delta T cells, MAIT cells and NKT cells. In work with European collaborators, we are now studying multivalent HIV-1 Env based SOSIP trimer vaccine strategies.
Influenza immunity and novel vaccines
Seasonal Influenza continues to extract a huge toll on the community and there is the ever-present threat of new pandemics. Led by Dr Adam Wheatley, we are making headway into improving our understanding of influenza immunity with a view to improving vaccines. Current vaccines are imperfect and often target variable regions of the virus which "drift" away from effective immunity each winter. We are focussing on improving immunity, both antibodies and CD4 T cell helper cells ("Tfh") to conserved parts of influenza, including the stem of HA. We also have a major interest in improving ADCC antibodies against influenza. The group has had a major push to understand and improve immunity to Influenza type B viruses and we have now generated panels of monoclonal antibodies that target this virus. We have series of exciting projects studying nanoparticle vaccines where tiny capsules are loaded with vaccine antigens to protect them from degradation and target important immune cells that stimulate effective immunity.
Influenza B cell immunity in the lung
Cells in the lung, both T cells and B cells, appear to be important in immunity to repeated infection with influenza. Led by Dr Hyon-Xhi Tan, we are starting to understand how influenza-specific B cells lodge and organise themselves in the lung and fight off new influenza virus infection. Our understanding of immune responses against Influenza allows us to push on with developing improved vaccine technologies.
Nanoparticle Vaccine Research
The Kent group is part of an Australian Research Council funded Centre of Excellence on nanomedicine. They have a series of work studying how small particles "nanoparticles" interact with the immune system and how this could be exploited in the future as vaccines or therapies. Tke Kent group have collaborated widely with many of the groups within their centre, including the Caruso group, the Crampin group, the Davis group, the Pu-Chun Ke group, the Johnson group, the Whittaker group, the Thurecht group, and the Thordarson and Kavallaris groups. They are hosting research in the Kent laboratory from Dr David Ju of the Caruso group and they are jointly supervising Mai Vu from the Davis/Truong group at Monash for her PhD. They are actively working on liposomal, mesoporous silica templated, and self-assembling ferritin nanoparticle vaccines for influenza, HIV and SARS-CoV2.
COVID-19 animals models
The Kent group are working to improve the ability to measure anto-COVID-19 immunity in ferrets together with collaborators at CSIRO. They recently developed the capacity to clone out influenza-specific monoclonal antibodies from ferrets (Wong et al Plos One, 2020 in press). They have also recently developed better reagents to study Tfh, B cells and NK cells in ferrets – these should be useful reagents to better understand immunity to SARS-CoV2 infection in ferrets.
A group led by Dr Adam Wheatley, Dr Jennifer Juno and Hyon-Xhi Tan are making protoype vaccines against SARS-CoV2 based on their track record in Influenza, HIV and with nanoparticles. They are comparing spike protein vs RBD protein immunisation with in-depth humoral, B cell and T cell studies in mice and larger animal models. They are developing self-assembling ferritin nanoparticle vaccines, analogous to recently published work in Influenza by Hannah Kelly and Dr Adam Wheatley. Dr Jennifer Juno is leading the work to improve antibody responses through induction of T-follicular helper responses, a critically important cell in the lymph node draining the site of vaccination.
Stephen's group studies immunity to HIV and influenza. They are analysing a variety of vaccine strategies, including nanoparticle-based vaccines. They are studying a series of immune responses to gain better insights into protective immunity to important viral pathogens.
