Електричне команде лета () је систем команди лета авиона, који је заменио хидраулички механички систем преноса аеродинамичких команди летелице, увођењем електронске везе између пилотске палице/педала и хидропокретача. Механичко деловање пилота на палицу/педале претвара се у електронски сигнал, који се преко рачунара софтверски моделира и спроводи у сервовентил хидропокретача. Добија се систем брзог и прецизног одзива, а мање масе. Поготово се остварују велике користи, када се тај електронски сигнал успут моделира у рачунару у функцији побољшања аеродинамике, односно перформанси лета и интегрише се са функцијама аутопилота.

Аналогна технологија
Једноставно су замењене механичке команде са преносом аналогног електронаког сигнала, генерисаног на пилотској палици/педалама, до електронског серво–вентила на хидро–покретачу. Успут је тај сигнал интегрисан са електронским сигналом аутопилота, преко одговарајућег електронског блока.

Напајање хидро–покретача са хидро уљем је задржано као код механичко–хидрауличког система. Оваква, прва и најједноставнија варијанта електричних команди лета је изведена на авиону лабораторији Авро Вулкан 1950. године. Осећај потребне силе на палици, за командни помак исте, вештачки је симулиран. Сличан систем, коришћен је и на првом надзвучном путничком авиону Конкорду.

Касније је примењена напреднија технологија преноса сигнала од пилота до хидро–покретача командне површине. Избачена је механичка веза, а уместо ње направљен је електрични пренос сигнала од пилота, преко рачунара. Прве примене ове технологије су биле у аналогној техници, а реализовано је на првом авиону ловцу, у серијској производњи F-16 Фајтинг фалкона. То је отворило велике могућности за примену ефикасних софтверских и аеродинамичких решења за значајно повећање перформанси лета, посебно у маневру. У овим унапређеним решењима, коришћени су аналогни рачунари, већих могућности.

Дигитална технологија
Електричне команде лета, са дигиталним електронским сигналом, сличног су општег принципа као и претходна варијанта са аналогним сигналом. Разлика је само у електронском облику преноса сигнала и у томе што се у овом случају користи дигитални рачунар, већих могућности и бољих перформанси. Дигитални рачунар поред наведених предности је и флексибилнији за пријем сигнала од авионских сензора. Са дигиталним рачунаром се могу остварити излази, према серво–вентилу, по сложенијем, задатом софтверу. Алгоритми сличног нивоа није могуће реализовати код логичког блока аналогног система, који има велика ограничења. Са дигиталним електричним командама лета се потпуно спроводи жеља пилота, уз побољшани квалитет и уз пружање велике помоћи у управљању авионом. Пилот се ослобађа бриге о свима ограничењима које прате управљање авионом, као што је гранична издржљивост структуре и граница нападног угла. Софтвер, са којим рачунар обрађује сигнале, исте и филтрира од осцилаторних побуда, што обезбеђује и стабилност рада целог система. Овај систем команди лета, између осталог, отвара могућност за измештање палице, бочно од пилота. Значајно њено смањење и повећани нагиб пилотског седишта, прате овај концепт. Концепт мале бочне палице ослобађа централни део инструменталне табле, за бољу прегледност, а заваљено седиште омогућава пилоту лакше подношење услова већих оптерећења, при повећаним убрзањима. Један од пионира, у примени ових решења, је борбени авион F-16 фајтинг фалкон, а на путничком авиону Ербас А320, примењена је бочна палица.

Технологије електричних команди лета, освојене су и потврђене са обимним теоретским и лабораторијским истраживањима и са више десетина авиона–лабораторија, преправљених на бази тих нових технологија. Сада су то усвојени стандарди, за савремене борбене, транспортне и путничке авионе, широм света. У томе смислу, Федерална ваздухопловна администрација САД (), стандардизовала је софтвер за електричне команде лета, под ознаком: -{RTCA/DO-178B}-, а закони управљања, морају да испуне услове -{DO-178B Level A}-. Савремени серијски борбени и комерцијални авиони се производе са овом технологијом управљања, примери су F-16 фајтинг фалкон, F-22 раптор, Авион Рафал, JAS 39 Грипен, МиГ-29СМТ, Сухој ПАК ФА, Ербас А320, Боинг 777 и други.

Шема примењеног принципа електричних команди лета за Нови авион.

Резервација поузданости

Основни проблем електрични команди лета био је поузданост и то првенствено због тешкоћа доказа исте. Доказ поузданости у реалном времену би био толико дуготрајан, тако да би за то време застареле све остале примењене технологије. Са савременим методама симулације, у лабораторијским условима, то је смањено на прихватљиво време. Посебно је била проблематична поузданост код дигиталних система, код којих електронски сигнал потпуно прекида рачунар, када падне његов софтвер, тада се прекида и веза према хидро–покретачу. Кроз дуготрајна истраживања и потврђивања, отворен је пут резервације поузданости преко умножавања паралелних система, са применом посебних метода међусобног надгласавања њихових сигнала, усвојен је принцип међусобне независности између канала, који је основа поузданости. Већински број сличних сигнала, софтверски одбацују мањински, који одступа са својом вредношћу. Циљ је да се избегну фаталне истовремене грешке у каналима. Ако се и појави грешка у неком од канала, са надгласавањем сигнала, тај се различит сигнал одбацује, пошто је у мањини. Поузданост електричних команди лета, дефинисана је са захтевима да више од један фаталан отказ не сме да се појави, на милион сати лета. Та поузданост система команди лета, нпр. на Рафалу, доказана је у физичкој симулацији у лабораторији, при искљученим механичким компонентама. У процесу испитивања, од милион сати лета, није се појавила ни једна грешка у електронском сигналу управљања. Шематски, на слици десно, приказан је општи принцип умножавања и надгласавања система дигиталних команди лета. Умножавање система је било по принципу три независна дигитална и један аналоган систем. У последње време је приступ са сва четири дигитална канала, при чему је на једном каналу другојачији рачунар, са поједностављеним софтвером. Када би се десило, да три истоветна канала, са сложеним софтвером, имају грешку, велика је вероватноћа да четврти, са поједностављеним, неће имати и да се авион са тиме ограниченим могућностима може вратити у базу. На овај начин је смањен ризик да системска, скривена грешка у сложеном софтверу, буде фатална за цео авион.

Светски допринос технологије

Ова технологија је дуго и опрезно развијана, у стационарним и у летећим лабораторијама, све док није постала довољно поуздана. Прошла је кроз многе фазе развоја, на бази аналогне, па дигиталне технологије, електронике и кроз више фаза решавања концепција резервације поузданости.

Глобални допринос електричних команди лета, сагледава се у доприносу:
 Оптимизацији аеродинамичких конфигурација за повољан однос узгона и отпора у надзвучном лету.
 Реализацији задате (жељене) статичке и динамичке стабилности, у целој анвелопи лета авиона, што омогућава и лет са тежиштем иза неутралне тачке (недопустива статичка нестабилност у класичној аеродинамици авиона), што побољшава перформансе авиона.
 Оптималном моделирању одговора авиона на пилотову команду (изражену жељу са померањем палице/педала).
 Интеграцији аутопилота, широког спектра функција.
 Реализацији лаке, поуздане и благовремене размене података са системом за навигацију.
 Развоју система команди лета, пошто се лако и у раној фази укључује пилот у тај процес, преко симулатора лета, који почиње да функционише од самог почетка развоја авиона

На Ербасу А380 су интегрисане електричне команде лета, а F-8 Крусадер је био један од демонстратора тих технологија. На F-8 је приказан рачунарски блок.

Derek Martin From Eastbound Of Bytown On Country Music, And Keeping Live Music Alive
Derek Martin grew up in a large, musical family who had country music on 24/7. It's not a surprise that he now spends a lot of his time playing country music at live venues around Ottawa.
In 2015, Derek set out as a solo artist in the live music scene in Ottawa, and was joined by Kyle Howard a year later, forming an acoustic duo. The band known today as Eastbound Of Bytown includes Casey McCann who plays lead and Mark Castonguay on drums.
We chatted about growing up in Ottawa, what country music has done for Derek, and how he and his band mates are keeping live music alive during a socially distant summer.
Tell us about your childhood growing up in Ottawa?
I was born and raised here in Ottawa. However, I moved around a lot. I've lived all over the city from Nepean to Kanata then Westboro and finally settled in the east end between Navan and Orleans.
Besides moving around a lot, I lived a fairly normal childhood. My parents seperated when I was young, so my mom raised my brother and I on her own (seeing my dad every so often). I was into sports at a young age. I started playing baseball when I was 4 and hockey when I was 9, both of which I still play to this day.
I had always had a love for music throughout my childhood. Growing up with both of my parents listening to Country, there was always music being played no matter where we were. Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Travis Tritt and Billy Ray Cyrus were some of my favourites to listen to before I went through the "boy band" stage. This is a little embarassing to admit but I was a HUGE Backstreet Boys fan when they first came out. I had all of their CD's and would listen to them on repeat, posters on the walls, Nick Carter mushroom cut….the whole 9 yards. It wasn't until high school that i really started to listen to and appreciate country music again and don't worry, the mushroom cut was gone before then.
You come from a family of musicians, when did you know that you wanted music to be a part of your life, too?
Music has always been a part of my life. My dad comes from a big family in Kazabazua, QB. All 9 brothers and sister either play at least 1 instrument or sing, so i've been around musicians my entire life. I remember going up to the farm in Kaz at a very young age for family reunions and there would be a massive hay trailer set up on the side of the house that would be transformed into a stage for the weekends festivities.
In elementary school I loved music class. It started with the plastic recorder we've all played growing up at some point but quickly turned into playing the trumpet and joining the choir. Although choir only lasted a couple of years as the new school I started going to didn't offer it, trumpet stuck for about 4-5 years.
It wasn't until I was 14 though that I decided to pick up a guitar of my own. My parents had gotten me a Nova guitar for christmas to play around on and I instantly took to it. I would sit at the computer for hours, looking up song chords and lyrics. Any chance I got, I was playing my guitar.
Growing up, what country singers were you a fan of?
There was always country playing in the house growing up. Billy Ray Cyrus was definitely one of the more noteable ones. Another embarrassing story….my mom had recorded a concert of his on a VHS tape for me to re-watch because it was on too late for me to see it live. As the concert went on, he'd sweat more and more. Well me being the "country star" I was decided to go into the washroom, splash water on my face then run back out to the living room just in time for "Achy Breaky Heart". His concert at the Robert Guertin Arena was also my first ever concert. Besides Billy Ray Cyrus, I loved listening to Alan Jackson, Tracey Lawrence and Travis Tritt. All of which I have on my set lists today.
When and why did you make the decision to form Eastbound of Bytown?
Believe it or not, I only started playing shows in 2015. Since I was 14 I had played guitar and sang a bit here and there but I was always too shy to play in front of people I didn't know. I played a few shows with my buddy Damien Maze late in 2014, then started booking my own gigs in 2015.
As I played more often, I got to meet more of the artists from Ottawa who play around the city. I met Kyle Hayward in the fall of 2016 and we formed Eastbound Of Bytown as an acoustic duo to add a different sound from my solo shows.
Tell us about how the band formed, and your bandmates.
Originally Eastbound Of Bytown was formed as an acoustic duo but as we started booking more shows at bigger venues as well as getting festival bookings, we decided to form a full band.
Casey McCann,who also comes from a very musical family, had been playing shows with members of my family for a few years when I met him at one of my dads gig's. We got talking and he agreed to play an upcoming show with us. He's been playing lead for Eastbound Of Bytown since.
Mark Castonguay joined us on drums in the spring of 2018, playing his first show with us at Poutine Fest at City Hall. Mark and Casey had previously played together and was a welcome addition to Eastbound Of Bytown.
The three of us have done the majority of our shows as a trio thus far. Although for bigger shows we've been lucky enough to borrow some talent from around Ottawa to fill in the sound on Bass with the likes of; Mat Charrette, Rory Mayhew and Scott Reeves.
Being able to do something I am so passionate about with guys I look at like brothers has been a dream come true. We may not always see eye to eye on everything but that comes with the territory. There will always be songs we don't agree on or just creative differences that crop up, but it's a blessing to be able to do something you love for others to enjoy.
What's your favourite song to perform live?
Although I love playing the 90's "classics", my favourite song to perform is hands down "Beer Never Broke My Heart" by Luke Combs. From the moment he came out with it I knew it would be a fun song to play but with the success of the song and how popular it's gotten, the reaction from crowds when we play it is amazing. From the opening line to the end of the song, it's a song people sing and dance along to and i couldn't imagine our set list without that song in there.
What is your favourite thing about country music?
I think my favourite think about country music is the fact that almost every song is relatable in one way or another. No matter what mood i'm in or what I may be doing, I can always throw on country music and know I'll be satisfied. It could be a bad break up, the birth of a child, or just sitting on a boat drinking with your buddies, there's a country song about it that you can relate to.
What are some of your favourite venues and festivals that you played at around Ottawa?
Being that we are a country band, there aren't too many places in Ottawa that cater to our set lists. However, we've had the chance to play at Lone Star on St.Laurent and had an absolute blast. The British in Aylmer is a fun stage to play as well. We tend to get a great crowd out every time we're there. My personal favourite though would have to be Lasso Live in Pembroke. The crowd is always ready to party and they love their country music in the Ottawa Valley.
As far as fairs and festivals go, we've been lucky enough to be included in quite a few of them. Although rain dampened our show at the Renfrew Fair last summer, we got to open up for Eric Ethridge, which was an awesome experience. The Poutine Fest at City Hall has been another festival which we've played at multiple times. With great crowds and such positive feedback, it's definitely been a festival we look forward to every year.
Mark and I play a lot of acoustic duo shows around the city and there are some amazing venues within the city of Ottawa as well like; Ridge Rock Brewery, The Royal Oak Pubs, Heart and Crown, Barley Mow, and Taproom 260 in Orleans to name a few. Playing these smaller venues as an acoustic duo allows us to play a wider variety of genres as well as gives us a more intimate set with the crowd, while maintaining a similar sound that people are used to hearing from us.
What's your best advice for aspiring artists who'd like to follow your bands footsteps?
Honestly, just put yourself out there. The live music scene in Ottawa is an amazing family to be a part of and there are so many venues that host live music. If you are passionate about music and have a sound that people enjoy listening to, put yourself out there. Contact venues, create a press kit that allows you to gain more bookings and network easier as well as grow your following.
Don't ever allow your passion to feel like work. Although is definitely a lot of leg work to be done when trying to obtain bookings at the start, it should never feel like something you HAVE to do. It's fun, enjoy it.
Most events have been cancelled this summer, but how is EOB going to continue to perform and stay connected to fans?
As many other musicians can attest, it hasn't been easy dealing with the amount of cancellations due to Covid-19. Fair/Festival season is something we look forward to every summer and from the looks of it for the time being, there won't be one this year.
The entire music community has rallied around Live Streaming and making the most of these trying times. Having the ability to be in the comfort of your own home yet still enjoy live music is definitely something we should be grateful for.
Due to the social distancing restrictions we have only done 1 live stream together but both Casey and I have been doing solo live streams for the entire duration of the shutdown thus far.
Lastly, what's next for you, and next for EOB?
Personally, I've been taking more time to learn new material as well as writing more. I find myself practicing guitar a lot more as well. It wasn't easy at first to be honest. When you're used to playing 2-3 shows per week then all of a sudden you're not able to, it takes a bit of getting used to.
As far as what's next? As many of us are, we are hoping this shutdown ends sooner than later. We'd love to be able to make the most of the summer in whatever way possible and salvage some of our bookings if the restrictions allow us. But for the future, we just want to continue growing our following, playing music for people to enjoy and get into venues like Crazy Horse in Kanata. It's been a goal/dream of mine to play there since it opened and being a country band, we'd love the opportunity to play at the best country music venue in Ottawa.
We hope everyone is staying safe and can't wait to see you soon!!!

Given that necrotising fasciitis is sometimes referred to as "flesh eating disease", it is perhaps unsurprising that the condition is particularly unpleasant. Anyone can be affected by the bacterial infection but it is most commonly a problem for patients who have had operation. If undetected or left to spread without treatment, it can lead to horrendous injuries.
In most cases, the bacteria responsible for necrotising fasciitis come in to the body via cuts and lesions in the skin. These cuts could be so small that the victim doesn't even notice them or could be very large incisions made by a surgeon. The rate at which the bacteria multiply is truly frightening and in doing so, a harmful toxin which gradually degrades body tissue and can kill large areas of skill cells for example. This multiplication will rage on and as a result the affected areas will grow and worsen causing enormous pain and suffering to the unfortunate victim.
With the symptoms of necrotising fasciitis being so horrible, medical professionals need to be aware of the first signs that someone may have become infected with the disease and take a swab from the cut that is causing the patient so much pain. This must then be sent to a laboratory for testing where the infection should quickly be detected. Following confirmation, antibiotics should be prescribed and any preventative surgical procedures should be carried out immediately.
Medical professionals who fail to take such action can be said to have been negligent. Indeed, patients will placed in great danger as a result of such negligence. As the infection spreads the pain will worsen and the areas affected will eventually have to be removed. If you have been so unfortunate to suffer from negligence of this king you should contact a solicitor about making a medical negligence claim.
Necrotising fasciitis claims require specialist medical negligence lawyers and our solicitors have the expertise you need to make a successful medical compensation claim.

Frustration and worry are some of the feelings expressed by first-year DCU students stuck in financial limbo while waiting to hear a decision about their grant applications from Student Universal Support Ireland.
Despite SUSI claiming they are two months ahead of schedule in comparison to last year, almost half of all applications are still in the processing stage. The grant system, SUSI has broken its promise to have all grants processed in the first few weeks of the new academic year.
The news comes as applications to the Student Assistance Fund have risen by 40 per cent on last semester. Some 700 DCU students have applied for the SAF this year, a rise from 500 applicants last year.
The grant, which is funded by the government and the European Social Fund, is strictly for non-academic purposes only and students can apply for the SAF to help cover the cost of expenses including rent, bills, childcare, medical bills, and compulsory study abroad. It's estimated that each successful student can expect to receive around €500. In more severe cases, St. Vincent De Paul also has an education grant for limited relief.
Another student awaiting her grant assessment relayed her fear of possibly dropping out as she cannot afford the fees and costs associated with attending college.
Post-Leaving Cert students who have had their grant applications approved by SUSI are expected to receive the first instalment next Friday. DCU students who are still in the assessment stage have also complained about the lengthy process and a lack of communication from SUSI.
Students found SUSI staff to be helpful, but once their application was deemed 'awaiting assessment', it was hard to get any more information. They also found that staff responded faster on Twitter than to emailed queries regarding their applications.
Students' Union Welfare Officer Lorna Finnegan saw the SUSI clinic on campus last week as a positive start following a lack of communication and information last year.
Following the huge backlog last year, the Office of the Ombudsman has accepted more than 50 complaints since June from students who had difficulty with the processing of their third-level grant applications. Of these cases, 21 have been resolved and half of the settled complaints were found in favour of the student.
A recent study by the Irish League of Credit Unions revealed that 1 in 12 students will drop out of college due to financial stress, and that students work an average of 18 hours a week to pay their way through college.
When applying for the SAF, a student can only be successful if their parents' combined wage is under €64,000 per annum. If the total combined wage reaches over €64,000 they are deemed ineligible.
A student applying for the SAF can expect a rigorous application process and must provide proof of receipts, including those for the SUSI grant, scholarships, and bursaries. The SAF measures the parents' combined wage, social welfare allowances, and requires a detailed account of annual non-academic expenses.
In contrast to the SUSI grant, fixed assets must not be declared in the SAF application process. Fixed assets are those that are expected to provide benefit for more than one year such as equipment, buildings, and real estate.
Let's take a student whose family owns and manages a farm. The parents of the student could work on the farm and earn less than €64,000 combined. However, the land that the farm is based on, the farm machinery, and the buildings are not taken into account.
Finnegan said that it can be quite difficult to determine who is more deserving of the money. "There's a difficulty defining who needs it more. The application is quite rigorous. Proof of receipts are required", she said.
It's estimated that if living away from home, a student's total expenses come to about €950 a month, while a student who lives at home and commutes daily can expect to fork out over €500 each month on daily expenses.
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished tto say that I've truly enjoyed browsinng your blog posts.


I really enjoyed Essentialism by Greg McKeown. It's clear from the beginning of the book what the author is going to recommend but the book is laid out in a way that keeps you reading.
At the heart of this book, the way of the Essentialist isn't about getting more done in less time. It's about getting only the right things done. It is not a time management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.
This book feels very similar to one I recently read "The One Thing" which I wrote about here.
A concept that sticks out to me from this book was by Dieter Rams, a famous designer, where he says "less but better.
Because this concept is so simple and easy to remember it will be something I take away from this book.
This is one of those books where you take away a couple key points because the main purpose of the book is to get you focusing on what really matters and blocking out the noise.
To me, the big thing I got was not focusing on adding extra things to make something better but to find what is most essential and only focus on that so everything else can be easier or more clear.

Premier League Betting News & Rumors: Jesse Lingard Back to Man U
Written by Derrick Harper on July 20, 2021
Soccer Betting News, Sports News in the USA | Analysis, Rumors & World Sports News
It's been such a busy soccer summer that it's almost easy to forget that the Premier League is starting in less than a month. Teams are already starting to play exhibition games while also ramping up their efforts on the transfer market. In other words, there's a lot going on and rumors swirling everywhere. Let's try to catch up on everything that's happening in the EPL right now so you can get ready to bet against their Premier League odds.
Latest English Premier League News and Rumors | July 20th Edition
Bound for Milan
After struggling for minutes in a reserve role for the past couple of seasons at Chelsea, Oliver Giroud has finally left the London club and is relocating to Italy. The 34-year-old Frenchman was offered a chance to stay another year with the Blues but chose instead to sign with AC Milan. Of course, Giroud is unlikely to be an automatic starter for Milan this season, as he will be on the depth chart behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
A Wonderful Return
Wolverhampton may not need to sign a striker before the start of the season because they are getting one back in the form of Raul Jimenez. The Mexican international suffered a skull fracture last November and was forced to miss the rest of the campaign. However, Jimenez played 30 minutes in an exhibition game over the weekend against Crewe Alexandra. Jimenez is stepping back on the field for Wolves and new manager Bruno Lage. Barring a setback, Jimenez should be fit for the Wolverhampton season opener next month.
One Comes In, One Going Out?
Arsenal has given its midfield a considerable boost with the recent signing of Albert Sambi Lokonga from Anderlecht. The 21-year-old Belgian youth international came up through the Anderlecht academy and became a regular with the first team during the 2019-20 season. The addition of Lokonga marks a changing of the guard for the Gunners in the midfield. Dani Ceballos and Matteo Guendouzi have already left the club this summer, with Ceballos going back to Real Madrid after his loan and Guendouzi leaving for Marseille. There are also strong indications that Granit Xhaka could be on his way to Roma before the transfer window closes, making it critical for Arsenal to bring in a player like Lokonga.
In the Plans
English midfielder Jesse Lingard was so far down the depth chart at Manchester United last season that he went on loan to West Ham United for the second half of the season. But after Lingard played well for the Hammers, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says the player is in United's plans for the upcoming season. Lingard played the second half of United's friendly with Derby County over the weekend, with Solskjaer remarking after the match that he liked how Lingard ended last season with West Ham. Of course, the Red Devils are set to bring in Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund, which means Lingard will face plenty of competition for playing time.
With the EPL season quickly arriving, the situations with both Harry Kane and Jack Grealish remain undetermined. Kane has made it clear that he's interested in leaving Tottenham, with Manchester City being closely linked. But whether City will pay the money Spurs would demand Kane remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Man City looks determined to sign Grealish, perhaps prioritizing him ahead of Kane. Signing both remains a possibility for City, although the club must first sell other players to make room and raise money.

A Navy-and-Gold Wedding with a Subtle '20s-Inspired Touch
She Wanders
Though Bayley Overland and Craig Staley started working together in March of 2010, it wasn't until October of 2011 that he finally asked her out. "He wanted to know if I was 'cool' outside of the office, so he arranged a happy hour at a local pub so that we could hang out in a non-work setting," Bayley remembers. "He asked me out that night, and we've been together ever since. I must have been cool enough!" A little over a year later, Craig proposed a few days before Christmas as the couple opened gifts by their Christmas tree. "It was the perfect simple, private proposal I'd always wanted, and then we got to celebrate with our families over the holidays," says Bayley.
The pair spent the next 10 months planning their October 18th, 2013 wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado. "The first trip we took together was to San Diego, and that's where we stayed," Bayley remembers. "It's always held a special place in our hearts, and it was just the place for our historically-inspired wedding."

Navy, white and gold invitations introduced guests to the evening's color scheme. Cute signs (check out that bowtie!) were ready for the photo booth at the reception.
Bayley stunned in a Monique Lhuillier gown with a sheer lace back. "It was so comfortable — it was like wearing a nightie!" she says. The only downside to picking her dress? "I loved trying them on, so I was sort of bummed to stop." She paired her gown with a lush bouquet of garden roses, ranunculus, lilies, and lots of greenery.
Bayley and Craig each had one attendant, so she tapped her cousin for the maid of honor spot. They found an emerald green lace dress by CH Carolina Herrera, which was perfectly paired with a peach-and-blush bouquet.
The ring bearers looked sweetly handsome in gingham shirts, blue bow ties and suspenders. The three flower girls wore jersey dresses with ruffled hems, and topped off their look with floral crowns.
The ceremony took place barefoot on the beach, with guests seated in white folding chairs. "My favorite detail was the two old church pews we put in the last two rows," Bayley says. They draped the pews with greenery and white roses.
Since the couple got married 1500 miles away from their home, they brought a personal touch with them by having a friend, who is a motivational speaker, perform the ceremony. "My favorite part of the whole day was Craig's face as I came down the aisle," says Bayley. "I'll remember it forever."
After the bride and groom said "I do," guests sipped cocktails on the beach while a man built a castle in the sand, customized with the couple's monogram.
Inside the Hotel del Coronado's Crown Room, guests found their seats on navy and gold escort cards decorated with vintage-inspired graphics. Everyone was seated at long tables topped with striped linens and lush flowers. "We loved the chandeliers (designed by L. Frank Baum!), and Craig couldn't get enough of how the wooden ceiling was constructed with just pegs and glue — no nails!"
Tables were topped with centerpieces in a mix of glass and metal vessels, overflowing with white and pink garden roses and lots of greenery. Table numbers were printed in gold on navy and white floral paper.
Ladies-and-Gents cocktails included a St. Germaine and champagne cocktail for her and an Old Fashioned for him. The bride and the wedding planner created a whiskey bar at the reception, complete with leather seating and antique décor, to honor the groom's love of all thinks whiskey, bourbon, and scotch.
"Craig and I don't love cake, so we served a whole selection of our favorite desserts," says Bayley. They cut into a two-tiered banana cake, and also served macarons, bourbon pecan bars, banana pudding trifles, and molasses cookies.
After a night of dancing (and more than a few sing-alongs with the bride), guests headed home with miniature pies as a sweet midnight snack. The bride and groom jetted off to Hawaii for two weeks for their honeymoon.
Bayley's advice is to be inspired by trends, but not adhere to them too strictly. "We made it our own, so we were able to include some ideas we loved but still make the wedding really personal."

Q: Prolog - ASP 'not' to Prolog negate I have an example problem in Answer Set Programming (ASP). When I try to make the equivalent code in Prolog, I keep getting stuck with the not blocked.
This is the ASP code:
road(berlin,potsdam).
road(potsdam,werder).
road(werder,brandenburg).
road(X,Y) :- road(Y,X).

blocked(werder,brandenburg).

route(X,Y) :- road(X,Y), not blocked(X,Y).
route(X,Y) :- route(X,Z), route(Z,Y).

drive(X) :- route(berlin,X).

#show drive/1

The answer is: drive(potsdam), drive(werder), drive(berlin).
In Prolog, I initially thought it would be as simple as changing the not to \+. When I query drive(X)., it recursively generates the X = potsdam answer. I know that Prolog and ASP work differently but I just can't figure it out.

A: The problem is road(X,Y) :- road(Y,X). This will recurse forever if there is no match among the facts:
is road(X,Y)?
is road(Y,X)?
is road(X,Y)?
is road(Y,X)?
.....

You can replace the predicate:
road(X,Y) :- road(Y,X).

with
road(X,X).

and add:
reachable(X,Y):-
     road(X,Y)
  ;  road(Y,X).

and modify:
route(X,Y) :- road(X,Y), \+ blocked(X,Y).

to:
route(X,Y) :- reachable(X,Y), \+ blocked(X,Y).

Smallpox cases, spread and symptoms on college campuses pose challenges
Leave a Comment / Health / By T.Jenna
For the past two years, college and university administrators have welcomed the start of the fall semester with a mix of excitement and trepidation over the coronavirus pandemic.
This year, even as COVID-19 continues to spread, universities are facing another public health threat: monkeypox, which so far it has predominantly affected men who have sex with men but can be spread skin-to-skin contact with anyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
It is unclear whether the college social scene will accelerate the spread of smallpox. However, at several college campuses in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, specific policies and guidance on monkeypox are still being refined, with a couple of schools yet to release updated information even as students they prepare for the move.
» READ MORE: Philly releases new data on monkeypox outbreak. Here's what we learned.
It raises questions not only about universities' preparedness, but also about what role they can play when national messages have become muddled and the federal vaccine supply is limited. Without enough vaccine, education is key to mitigating the spread and combating misinformation as colleges wait to see if monkeypox will spread faster on their campuses than in the general population.
It goes without saying that 18- to 22-year-olds who live alone can be known to engage in intimate physical activities. They don't just have sex, they get along, dance shoulder-to-shoulder at house parties and bars, share vapes and red Solo cups, and live with roommates in tight spaces.
How college students can protect themselves from monkey pox
Monkeypox is spread through skin-to-skin contact or prolonged face-to-face contact, as well as direct contact with materials that have touched the rash, scabs, or body fluids of someone who has the virus.
It is not a sexually transmitted disease and condoms do not protect against it. Transmission can occur outside of sexual activity.
Someone is contagious from the time symptoms appear until a new layer of skin has formed over the rash. This can take two to four weeks.
Colleges in the Philadelphia region advise students to:
Talk honestly with your sex partners about the symptoms of monkeypox and don't kiss, hug, cuddle or have sex with anyone who has symptoms, which may include a rash, fever, swollen lymph nodes, headache or body aches , general malaise and exhaustion.
Avoid parties or clubs where there is direct and skin-to-skin contact.
Do not share utensils or cups with someone who has smallpox.
Do not touch the bedding, towels, or clothing of someone who has chickenpox.
Wash or disinfect your hands often.

"I know we're going to see some cases at Temple, because college students share things and they are who they are," said Thomas Trojian, assistant clinical director of Temple University Student Health Services. But he said he believes the virus won't spread faster than anywhere else.
Over the course of the two-month outbreak, there have been 362 cases reported in Pennsylvania, 367 in New Jersey and 10 in Delaware as of Wednesday, according to the CDC.
There is no public database of cases among university students. But even before the fall semester begins, cases have been confirmed at several universities across the country, including Penn State, West Chester, Bucknell, George Washington University, American University and the University of Texas at Austin.
Although no one in the United States has died from the virus, it causes painful and infectious injuries, requires isolation for up to 30 days, and threatens to exacerbate existing stigma and discrimination against members of LGBTQ communities, which several leaders students said they were. more worried than getting sick themselves.

"I think a lot of the concern is less about the virus itself and more about the homophobic moral panic that's starting," said Eitan Runyan, president of the Temple Queer Student Union.
Muggs Leone, a student employee at Penn State's Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity, said she has also heard her colleagues express concerns about stigma.
"As far as physical security, I haven't heard anything," he said.
Student leaders said they want their universities to tackle the virus head-on, similar to how they responded to COVID, though they acknowledge the viruses are very different. This, they say, can also help reduce stigma.
So far, some universities have communicated through online newsletters and emails; others have not provided information or guidance on monkeypox since early summer.
Some said they hope to eventually offer the vaccine. But for now, doses are extremely limited, with even the Philadelphia Department of Public Health receiving fewer vials than it would like.
When a traveling West Chester University student contracted monkeypox in July, spokeswoman Nancy Gainer said the experience spurred the university to begin circulating information to students about the virus and how it spreads.
The student is doing well, Gainer said, and completed the summer distance learning class. A health department investigation determined they had no close contacts in Chester County, he said, and there have been no other confirmed cases at the university.

Penn State announced Wednesday that a student on the main campus, who lives off campus, tested positive for smallpox last week.
No other local or state universities would say whether there had been cases among students or staff.
At Penn State, where more than 40,000 undergraduates return to its main campus this weekend and classes begin Monday, its smallpox guide was also released Wednesday.
Students who develop symptoms should make an appointment with University Health Services, Rebecca said Simcik, medical director of the center. The health center is working with the state Department of Health to provide testing and vaccinations, he said.
At the University of Pennsylvania, where freshmen are moving in starting Monday, spokesman Ron Ozio told The Inquirer that "any information we have for students will be posted online when it's ready."
In Newark, the University of Delaware launched a web page with information about monkeypox on Thursday, about a week before the move.
Drexel University, which is on a quarter system, doesn't start classes until September 19. Spokeswoman Niki Gianakaris pointed a reporter to an FAQ the university released in late July.
Drexel officials said the health center can test for monkeypox and obtain an antiviral drug for severe cases. It will work to get the vaccine if it is more available.
"We anticipate seeing cases among students and have already begun testing," Marla Gold, director of wellness and senior vice chancellor for community health, said in a statement. "It's in Philadelphia and the region. We're ready for it."
Temple can test for monkeypox, Trojian said, but would refer students to the city health department if they may be eligible for vaccination.
West Chester can also do testing, Gainer said, and has told the Chester County Health Department that it is willing to offer the vaccine if it becomes more available.
In New Jersey, where Rutgers begins classes after Labor Day, university spokesman Kevin Lorincz said a monkeypox advisory was sent out this week, advising students to consult their doctors about suspected disease or exposure.
"The university does not have access to the smallpox vaccine and will not provide treatment," Antonio M. Calcado, executive vice president and chief operating officer, said in the statement.
One reason for the delays in communication may be that colleges are waiting for more up-to-date guidance from public health officials, said Jennifer Horney, founding director of the University of Delaware's epidemiology program who has worked with the university on your answer
"I think the challenge has been since we started working on our messaging a week ago, the guidance has already changed," he said.
University leaders also want to ensure communications don't stigmatize members of LGBTQ communities, he said.
"We want to focus on high-risk populations," Horney said, "but not at the expense of letting everyone know that this is not just a risk for men who have sex with men, it's a more wide".
Monkeypox also raises complicated logistical questions, such as what to do with the 30-day isolation time: whether to provide isolation housing or rely on students to self-isolate, and how to ensure that students can continue to attend classes virtual
At Temple, Trojian said the school will advise students to return home. If they cannot, and cannot isolate themselves from their roommates, the university will work to provide isolation housing, just as they do for students who test positive for COVID-19.
Elsewhere there are similar strategies.
"Since the isolation period can be up to four weeks, students on campus should expect to make arrangements to complete their isolation at home," Penn State officials say in their guidance, noting that the staff will work with anyone who is "unable to travel". "
In West Chester, Gainer said the university will house students in a hotel if off-campus isolation is not possible.
Some student leaders said they were concerned about the mental health and well-being of students, especially those from LGBTQ communities, who may have to return home to environments where they are not as accepted as they are on their campuses.
Drexel, meanwhile, is in the process of designating isolation spaces, Gianakaris said.
University administrators said they also want to stress that monkeypox is not sexually transmitted and anyone can contract it.
To that end, West Chester University is planning in-person educational programs for all students, Gainer said, and training for health center workers.
In central Pennsylvania, "most people at Penn State, I don't think know about this virus," said Carter Gangl, who chairs Penn State's student government Justice and Equity Committee, noting that his colleagues LGBTQ people know this. more "because they almost feel like they have to."
"Without that piece of education" for the broader population, they added, "I think it's going to be very, very difficult to mitigate the spread."

Obiteljsko pravo je skup pravnih pravila i načela kojima se uređuju obiteljski odnosi, tj. osobnopravni i imovinskopravni odnosi članova obitelji te članova obitelji prema trećim osobama. Prije svega, normama obiteljskog prava uređuje se brak i bračni odnosi, te odnosi između roditelja i djece. Obitelj kao temeljni oblik ljudske zajednice u središtu je proučavanja obiteljskopravne znanosti. Predmet obiteljskoga prava jest pravno uređenje društvenih odnosa koji su po svojoj naravi intimni i obiteljski.

Pravna priroda

Tradicionalno, obiteljsko pravo smatralo s dijelom građanskog prava, što je danas vidljivo u građanskim zakonicima pojedinih zemalja (kao npr. u Austriji, Njemačkoj, Italiji), koji sadrže i norme obiteljskog prava.

U modernoj pravnoj znanosti, zastupa se učenje o obiteljskom pravu kao samostalnoj grani prava, čije su norme izdvojene u zasebnu cjelinu i čine samostalan dio pravnog sustava. Norme mogu biti sadržane u cjelovitom obiteljskom zakonu (kao npr. u Hrvatskoj) ili u nekoliko odvojenih zakona (npr. Švedska, Engleska).

Pravno uređenje obiteljskih odnosa te obiteljsko zakonodavstvo predmet su istraživanja obiteljskopravne znanosti, kao jedne od grana pravne znanosti.

Obiteljski odnosi

Obiteljski odnosi, koje uređuju pravna pravila obiteljskog prava, su posebni društveni odnosi koji u svakom društvu, odnosno pravnom sustavu, zbog svoje važnosti uživaju posebnu pravnu zaštitu. Važnost tih odnosa je u tome što se u njima rađa i podiže potomstvo, osigurava opstanak pojedinaca, a time i društvene zajednice, odnosno što se putem njih zadovoljavaju biološke, osjećajne i druge intimne ljudske potrebe.

Pravnim propisima određni su subjekti obiteljskopravnih odnosa, pretpostavke za njihov nastanak, pravni učinci koje proizvode, kao i pretpostavke te učinci prestanka tih odnosa.

Pravnim propisima obiteljskog prava uređuje se odnosi između:
 bračnih, izvanbračnih i istospolnih drugova,
 roditelja i djece,
 posvojitelja i posvojčadi,
 skrbnika i štićenika,
 uzdržavatelja i primatelja uzdržavanja.

Pretpostavke za nastanak pojedinog obiteljskog odnosa su specifične činjenice ili okolnosti, kao npr. rođenje djeteta, srodstvo, sklapanje braka, itd.

Pravno uređeni obiteljski odnosi proizvode određene pravne učinke, odnosno, za subjekte tih odnosa stvaraju se određena prava i dužnosti. Dvije su osnovne kategorije učinaka: osobnopravni te imovinskopravni učinci. U obiteljskom pravu težište je na osobnopravnim učincima pojedine vrste obiteljskih odnosa, međutim imovinskopravnim propisima obiteljskog prava uređuje se imovinski odnosi među subjektima obiteljski odnosa (to se prije svega odnosi na bračnu stečevinu bračnih drugova, ali i na odnose između roditelja i djece, i dr.).

Prestanak obiteljskog odnosa može biti uvjetovan bilo nekom činjenicom ili okolnošću što dovodi do raskida tog odnosa (npr. braka, skrbništva), bilo prirodim događajem (kao što je smrt). Prestanak obiteljskog odnosa također proizvodi određene osobnopravne posljedice (kao npr. pitanje prezimena rastavljenog bračnog druga), ali i imovinskopravne posljedice (npr. podjela zajedničke imovine).

Značajke i načela obiteljskog prava

Pravna pravila obiteljskog prava su ius cogens, odnosno stroga pravla, a volja pojedinca svedena je na minimum. To se opravdava činjenicom da su u svakoj društvenoj zajednici obiteljski odnosi važni. Obiteljsko pravo je formalizirano pravo, a po svojoj je naravi ono statusno pravo.

Uređenje obiteljskih odnosa temelji se na načelima:
 ravnopravnosti žene i muškarca te uzajamnog poštovanja i pomaganja svih članova obitelji,
 zaštite dobrobiti i prava djeteta, te odgovornosti obaju roditelja za podizanje i odgoj djeteta,
 primjerene skrbničke zaštite djeteta bez roditeljske skrbi te odrasle osobe s duševnim smetnjama.

Područja koja uređuje

Brak

Glavni članak: Bračno pravo
Brak je zakonom uređena životna zajednica žene i muškarca. Bračnim pravom uređuje se:
 sklapanje braka,
 osobna prava i dužnosti bračnih drugova,
 pretpostavke za sklapanje braka,
 prestanak braka (smrt bračnog druga, proglašenjem nestalog bračnog druga umrlim, poništaj ili razvod),
 imovinski odnosi bračnih drugova.

Izvanbračna zajednica žene i muškarca

Po hrvatskom pravu, izvanbračna zajednica žene i muškarca je zajednica života žene i muškarca koja traje najmanje tri godine ili kraće ako je u njoj rođeno dijete.

Životno partnerstvo

Životno partnerstvo osoba istoga spola je zajednica obiteljskog života dviju osoba istoga spola koja je sklopljena pred nadležnim tijelom (matičarom) u skladu s odredbama Zakona o životnom partnerstvu osoba istoga spola. Zakon o životnom partnerstvu osoba istog spola (ZŽP) uređuje i neformalno životno partnerstvo koje je u čl. 3. definirano kao zajednica obiteljskog života dviju osoba istoga spola, koje nisu sklopile životno partnerstvo pred nadležnim tijelom, ako zajednica traje najmanje tri godine i od početka je udovoljavala pretpostavkama propisanim za valjanost životnog partnerstva. U pogledu dokazivanja neformalnog životnog partnerstva ZŽP propisuje kako se utvrđuje na isti način kao i izvanbračna zajednica. U svezi s pretpostavkama za sklapanje životnoga partnerstva, ZŽP propisuje u čl. 7. da osobe moraju biti istoga spola, da su izjavile pristanak za sklapanje životnog partnerstva te da je životno partnerstvo sklopljeno pred matičarom. U slučaju da u vrijeme sklapanja životnog partnerstva koja od pretpostavki nije ispunjena, životno partnerstvo nije sklopljeno. ZŽP propisuje također i pretpostavke za valjanost životnog partnerstva, a to su da osobe moraju imati navršenih osamnaest godina života (čl. 8.), da osoba nije nesposobna za rasuđivanje (čl. 9), da osobe koje namjeravaju sklopiti životno partnerstvo nisu srodnici po krvi, odnosno tazbini do četvrtog stupnja (čl. 10.) te da osoba nije već u braku ili životnom partnerstvu (čl. 11.).

Odnos roditelja i djece

Dijete ima određena prava i dužnosti. Roditeljsku skrb čine odgovornosti, dužnosti i prava roditelja, s ciljem zaštite dobrobiti djeteta, osobnih i imovinskih interesa.

Zakonom su propisane mjere za zaštitu prava i dobrobiti djeteta, ali i pretpostavke za prestanak roditeljske skrbi.

Utvrđivanje i osporavanje majčinstva i očinstva

Djetetova majka jest žena koja ga je rodila. Zakonska formulacija (i gramatičko tumačenje) govori u prilog tvrdnji o neoborivoj predmnjevi (praesumtio iuris et de iure), no s obzirom na odredbe o iznimnoj mogućnosti osporavanja majčinstva ženi koja je rodila dijete začeto jajnom stanicom druge žene (čl. 86 Obiteljskoga Zakona), ipak se radi o oborivoj predmnjevi (praesumtio iuris). Posebnu problematiku načela koji primjenjuje hrvatsko obitljeljsko pravo, kao i većina obiteljskopravnih sustava, mater in iure semper certa est, predstavlja zamjensko majčinstvo (surogat majčinstvo) koje je temeljem čl. 31. Zakona o medicinski pomognutoj oplodnji u Republici Hrvatskoj zabranjeno.

Djetetovim ocem smatra se majčin muž ako je dijete rođeno za vrijeme trajanja braka ili tijekom tristo dana od prestanka braka.

Ako se na taj način ne može odrediti majčinstvo ili očinstvo, utvrđuje se priznanjem roditelja ili sudskom odlukom.

Dijete može osporavati majčinstvo, odnosno očinstvo osobi koja je upisana u maticu rođenih kao njegov roditelj. Pod određenim zakonskim pretpostavkama, to može učiniti i žena koja je upisana kao majka, odnosno muškarac kao otac.

Posvojenje

Posvojenje je poseban oblik obiteljsko-pravnog zbrinjavanja i zaštite djece bez odgovarajuće roditeljske skrbi koji posvojiteljima omogućuje roditeljstvo. Posvojenje je kao faktični institut postojao i u vrijeme koje prethodi nastanku države i prava, a samo podrijetlo instituta posvojenja djelomično je religijskoga karaktera jer se u davna vremena vjerovalo kako će onaj koji premine, a ne ostavi potomstvo koje će mu odavati pogrebne počasti, biti osuđen na vječnu usamljenost.

Skrbništvo

Skrbništvo je oblik zaštite djeteta bez roditeljske skrbi, osobe lišene poslovne sposobnosti i osobe koja nije iz drugih razloga u mogućnosti štititi svoja prava i interese. Djetetu štićeniku skrbništvom se nadomješta roditeljska skrb, dok se punoljetnom štićeniku lišenom poslovne sposobnosti skrbništvom se osigurava zaštita onih prava i interesa koji su mu odlukom suda o lišenju poslovne sposobnosti ograničeni. Obiteljski zakon u čl. 220. propisuje kako je dostojanstvo štićenika nepovredivo te da štićenik ima pravo na zaštitu od bilo kojeg oblika zlostavljanja i ponižavajućeg postupanja, dok sama skrbnička zaštita mora biti primjerena, individualizirana te u skladu s dobrobiti štićenika (čl. 221.). Poslove skrbništva, temeljem odredbe čl. 222. Obiteljskoga zakona obavljaju centar za socijalnu skrb, skrbnik i posebni skrbnik sukladno Obiteljskom zakonu. Samo skrbništvo prestaje smrću štićenika ili prestankom okolnosti zbog kojih je osoba pod skrbništvom.

Skrbništvo za djecu
Pod skrbništvo će se staviti dijete čiji su roditelji umrli, nestali, nepoznati ili su najmanje mjesec dana nepoznatog boravišta, lišeni prava na roditeljsku skrb, lišeni poslovne sposobnosti u dijelu koji ih onemogućava u ostvarivanju roditeljske skrbi, maloljetni, a nisu stekli poslovnu sposobnost sklapanjem braka, odsutni ili spriječeni i nisu u mogućnosti brinuti se o svojem djetetu, a ostvarivanje roditeljske skrbi nisu povjerili osobi koja ispunjava uvjete za skrbnika ili dali pristanak za posvojenje djeteta.

Rješenje o stavljanju pod skrbništvo i imenovanje skrbnika djetetu donosi centar za socijalnu skrb, a dužan je pribaviti mišljenje djeteta koje je sposobno shvatiti značenje skrbništva o osobi skrbnika, te uzeti u obzir želje djeteta o izboru osobe skrbnika, osim ako su u suprotnosti s njegovom dobrobiti.

Skrbnik djeteta dužan je savjesno se brinuti o osobnim i imovinskim pravima i obvezama djeteta, a osobito o njegovu zdravlju, odgoju i obrazovanju.

Skrbništvo za punoljetne osobe
Pod pojmom skrbništva za punoljetne osobe u smislu Obiteljskoga zakona podrazumijeva se skrbništvo nad punoljetnom osobom lišenom poslovne sposobnosti ili djetetom koje je poslovnu sposobnost steklo sklapanjem braka, a koje je rješenjem suda lišeno poslovne sposobnosti.

Uzdržavanje

Uzdržavanje je dužnost i pravo roditelja i djece, bračnih i izvanbračnih drugova, očuha (maćehe) i pastorka, te dužnost bake i djeda u odnosu na unuke (srodnika u ravnoj lozi).

Michelle Dennedy is the Chief Privacy Officer at Cisco. She is an attorney, author of the book The Privacy Engineer's Manifesto, and one of the world's most respected experts on privacy engineering.
But in 2010, we introduced the concept at the Data Commissioner's Conference in Jerusalem, and over 120 different countries agreed we should contemplate privacy in the build, in the design. That means not just the technical tools you buy and consume, [but] how you operationalize, how you run your business; how you organize around your business.
And I'll double-click on the word "privacy." Privacy, in the functional sense, is the authorized processing of personally-identifiable data using fair, moral, legal, and ethical standards. So, we bring down each one of those things and say, "What are the functionalized tools that we can use to promote that whole panoply and complicated movement of personally-identifiable information across networks with all of these other factors built in?" [It's] if I can change the fabric down here, and our teams can build this in and make it as routinized and invisible, then the rest of the world can work on the more nuanced layers that are also difficult and challenging.
David Bray: What Michelle said about building beyond and thinking about networks gets to where we're at today, now in 2017. It's not just about individual machines making correlations; it's about different data feeds streaming in from different networks where you might make a correlation that the individual has not given consent to with […] personally identifiable information.
For AI, it is just sort of the next layer of that. We've gone from individual machines, networks, to now we have something that is looking for patterns at an unprecedented capability, that at the end of the day, it still goes back to what is coming from what the individual has given consent to? What is being handed off by those machines? What are those data streams?
One of the things I learned when I was in Australia as well as in Taiwan as an Eisenhower Fellow; it's a question about, "What can we do to separate this setting of our privacy permissions and what we want to be done with our data, from where the data is stored?" Because right now, we have this more simplistic model of, "We co-locate on the same platform," and then maybe you get an end-user agreement that's thirty or forty pages long, and you don't read it. Either accept, or you don't accept; if you don't accept, you won't get the service, and there's no opportunity to say, "I'm willing to have it used in this context, but not these contexts." And I think that means Ai is going to raise questions about the context of when we need to start using these data streams.
How does "context" fit into this?
Michelle Dennedy: We wrote a book a couple of years ago called "The Privacy Engineer's Manifesto," and in the manifesto, the techniques that we used are based on really foundational computer science.
Before we called it "computer science" we used to call it "statistics and math." But even thinking about geometric proof, nothing happens without context. And so, the thought that you have one tool that is appropriate for everything has simply never worked in engineering. You wouldn't build a bridge with just nails and not use hammers. You wouldn't think about putting something in the jungle that was built the same way as a structure that you would build in Arizona.
David Bray: And I want to amplify what Michelle is saying. When I arrived at the FCC in late 2013, we were paying for people to volunteer what their broadband speeds were in certain, select areas because we wanted to see that they were getting the broadband speed that they were promised. And that cost the government money, and it took a lot of work, and so we effectively wanted to roll up an app that could allow people to crowdsource and if they wanted to, see what their score was and share it voluntarily with the FCC. Recognizing that if I stood up and said, "Hi! I'm with the U.S. government! Would you like to have an app […] for your broadband connection?" Maybe not that successful.
But using the principles that you said about privacy engineering and privacy design, one, we made the app open source so people could look at the code. Two, we made it so that, when we designed the code, it didn't capture your IP address, and it didn't know who you were in a five-mile-radius. So, it gave some fuzziness to your actual, specific location, but it was still good enough for informing whether or not broadband speed is as desired.
And so, I think that this principle of privacy by design is making the recognition that one, it's not just encryption but then two, it's not just the legalese. Can you show something that gives people trust; that what you're doing with their data is explicitly what they have given consent to? That, to me, is what's needed for AI [which] is, can we do that same thing which shows you what's being done with your data, and gives you an opportunity to weigh in on whether you want it or not?
David Bray: So, I'll give the simple answer which is "Yes." And now I'll go beyond that.
So, shifting back to first what Michelle said, I think it is great to unpack that AI is many different things. It's not a monolithic thing, and it's worth deciding are we talking about simply machine learning at speed? Are we talking about neural networks? This matters because five years ago, ten years ago, fifteen years ago, the sheer amount of data that was available to you was nowhere near what it is right now, and let alone what it will be in five years.
If we're right now at about 20 billion networked devices on the face of the planet relative to 7.3 billion human beings, estimates are at between 75 and 300 billion devices in less than five years. And so, I think we're beginning to have these heightened concerns about ethics and the security of data. To Scott's question: because it's just simply we are instrumenting ourselves, we are instrumenting our cars, our bodies, our homes, and this raises huge amounts of questions about what the machines might make of this data stream. It's also just the sheer processing capability. I mean, the ability to do petaflops and now exaflops and beyond, I mean, that was just not present ten years ago.
So, with that said, the question of security. It's security, but also we may need a new word. I heard in Scandinavia, they talk about integrity and being integral. It's really about the integrity of that data: Have you given consent to having it used for a particular purpose? So, I think AI could play a role in making sense of whether data is processed securely.
Michelle Dennedy: Madeleine Clare Elish wrote a paper called "Moral Crumple Zones," and I just love even the visual of it. If you think about cars and what we know about humans driving cars, they smash into each other in certain known ways. And the way that we've gotten better and lowered fatalities of known car crashes is using physics and geometry to design a cavity in various parts of the car where there's nothing there that's going to explode or catch fire, etc. as an impact crumple zone. So all the force and the energy goes away from the passenger and into the physical crumple zone of the car.
Madeleine is working on exactly what we're talking about. We don't know when it's unconscious or unintentional bias because it's unconscious or unintentional bias. But, we can design-in ethical crumple zones, where we're having things like testing for feeding, just like we do with sandboxing or we do with dummy data before we go live in other types of IT systems. We can decide to use AI technology and add in known issues for retraining that database.
I'll give you Watson as an example. Watson isn't a thing. Watson is a brand. The way that the Watson computer beat Jeopardy contestants is by learning Wikipedia. So, by processing mass quantities of stated data, you know, given whatever levels of authenticity that pattern on.
What Watson cannot do is selectively forget. So, your brain and your neural network are better at forgetting data and ignoring data than it is for processing data. We're trying to make our computer simulate a brain, except that brains are good at forgetting. AI is not good at that, yet. So, you can put the tax code, which would fill three ballrooms if you print it out on paper. You can feed it into an AI type of dataset, and you can train it in what are the known amounts of money someone should pay in a given context?
The concept of the ghost in the machine: how do machines that are well-trained with data over time experience degradation? Either they're not pulling from datasets because the equipment is simply … You know, they're not reading tape drives anymore, or it's not being fed from fresh data, or we're not deleting old data. There are a lot of different techniques here that I think have yet to be deployed at scale that I think we need to consider before we're overly relying [on AI], without human checks and balances, and processed checks and balances.
David Bray: I think it's going to have to be a staged approach. As a starting point, you almost need to have the equivalent of a human ombudsman – a series of people looking at what the machine is doing relative to the data that was fed in.
And you can do this in multiple contexts. It could just be internal to the company, and it's just making sure that what the machine is being fed is not leading it to decisions that are atrocious or erroneous.
Or, if you want to gain public trust, share some of the data, and share some of the outcomes but abstract anything that's associated with any one individual and just say, "These types of people applied for loans. These types of loans were awarded," so can make sure that the machine is not hinging on some bias that we don't know about.
Longer-term, though, you've got to write that ombudsman. We need to be able to engineer an AI to serve as an ombudsman for the AI itself.
So really, what I'd see is not just AI as just one, monolithic system, it may be one that's making the decisions, and then another that's serving as the Jiminy Cricket that says, "This doesn't make sense. These people are cheating," and it's pointing out those flaws in the system as well. So, we need the equivalent of a Jiminy Cricket for AI.

Aspect Biosystems and JDRF to develop 3D bioprinted treatment for diabetes
Paul Hanaphy April 09th 2022 - 6:00pm 0 0
Canadian 3D bioprinting firm Aspect Biosystems has unveiled a new partnership with the international diabetes research and advocacy organization JDRF.
As part of the deal, JDRF has agreed to back Aspect Biosystems' bid to create novel 3D bioprinted tissues capable of treating those with type 1 diabetes. Specifically, the group is set to lend its expertise on the disease and contact book to the project, with the aim of accelerating its partner's plans to give diabetics "insulin independence."
"Together with JDRF, we are aligned on the mission to develop a curative therapy for the millions of patients around the world who are affected by type 1 diabetes," said Tamer Mohamed, CEO of Aspect Biosystems. "This partnership will help advance our cutting-edge pancreatic tissue program and bring us a step closer to human trials."

Aspect Biosystems' RX1 platform
Since it was founded in 2013, Aspect Biosystems has set out to combine microfluidics and 3D bioprinting, as a means of advancing medical research and developing unique therapies for diseases. One of the main ways the firm has sought to achieve this is via its RX1 bioprinter, a system capable of switching between different cell types on the fly to enable the creation of heterogeneous tissues.
Over the last nine years, Aspect Biosystems has gained significant backing for its technology, closing a $20 million Series A funding round in early-2020, as well as establishing partnerships designed to deploy it within therapeutic applications.
Following its capital raise, for instance, the company launched a 3D bioprinting grant program, in which labs were encouraged to apply for access to its RX1 system. At the time, it was said that the initiative would see two research groups supplied with a bioprinter, starter kit and all the necessary training to operate them over six months, free of charge.
In the past, Aspect Biosystems has also partnered with a team at Maastricht University, to develop viable 3D bioprinted kidney tissues for medical testing purposes, and been selected to contribute to a $2.2 million cancer research project, which saw it work with Merck and GSK, in addition to McGill University's Goodman Cancer Research Centre.

Bioprinting a remedy for diabetes
Unlike type 2 diabetes, developing the type 1 variant isn't believed to be related to age or weight, and it's theorized that it is actually caused by an autoimmune reaction in which the body attacks itself. As such, patients often develop the disease through no fault of their own, and with its triggers still not being fully understood, it is predicted that five million Americans will be diagnosed with it by 2050.
From what we do know, type 1 diabetes essentially inhibits patients' ability to generate enough insulin to control the blood glucose levels in their bloodstreams. This, in turn, can cause those afflicted to develop fatigue, weight loss and blurred vision, and if left untreated, it can also lead to long-term blood vessel, nerve or organ damage.
In order to manage their blood sugar levels, people with diabetes currently have to administer insulin via pump or injection, in what can be an invasive task. Although a number of alternative treatments are under R&D, with Readily3D even using a 3D bioprinted pancreas to test their efficacy, none have yet been rolled-out at scale.
Through its newly-announced collaboration with JDRF, however, Aspect Biosystems is now trying to change this, by ramping up the development of a 3D printed tissue therapy for treating type 1 diabetes. While the firm hasn't revealed exactly how the treatment will work, it's understood to be a cell-based implant that works to repair damaged organ functions, thus making patient insulin injections obsolete.
For its part, JDRF has committed to not only providing funding for the project but its "strategic support," in a move that will provide Aspect Biosystems with access to its partner's 52 years of diabetes expertise, helping to advance its future research.
"For more than 20 years, JDRF has been a leader in cell-based tissue therapy research for type 1 diabetes," said Esther Latres, Assistant VP of Research at JDRF. "This funding partnership with Aspect Biosystems will support and continue scientific advancements in the field and undeniably take us closer to finding a cure."

Advances in 3D printed therapies
Using not just 3D bioprinting but conventional 3D printing as well, researchers continue to make advances in the development of cures for all sorts of different diseases. Scientists at North Carolina State University, for example, have managed to create optimized 3D printed radiation antennas for cancer patients to wear during breast hyperthermia procedures.
In the world of 3D bioprinting, meanwhile, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Duke University, and Texas A&M have created the first-ever living in-vitro aneurysm. By operating on the cellular mass outside the body, observing how it heals, and inputting their findings into computer models, the team believe it could be possible to develop patient-specific aneurysm treatments.
Similarly, back in 2020, a group of US and Germany-based researchers came up with a 3D bioprinted glioblastoma model, with the potential to further doctors' understanding of how the cancer grows. Having created their vascularized tumor from human brain cells and biomaterials, the scientists were able to culture and attempt to treat it, while tracking the results using 3D imaging techniques.

'Duck Dynasty': Sadie Robertson Shares Glimpse of Nursery in Photo of New Baby
By Stephanie Downs - July 4, 2021 06:30 pm EDT
Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson welcomed her first child, daughter Honey, in early May with her husband, Christian Huff. Since then, the new mom has been sharing many updates about her growing family on Instagram. Most recently, she took to Instagram to give her fans a peek at baby Honey's nursery.
In the photo, Huff can be seen gazing down at the couple's daughter in her nursery. Baby Honey sits underneath a mobile of sorts which has a series of stuffed animals connected to it. If you look closely at the background of the photo, you can see what appears to be a series of sonogram photos. Additionally, there's a photo of Huff and Robertson as well as a piece of paper with Honey's footprints adorably adorned on it. Fans will also take note that there's a blanket adorned with Honey's name on it that is placed alongside her crib. Robertson didn't just post this lovely photo. The snap came alongside an incredibly sweet message about how she originally met her husband years prior.
A post shared by Sadie Robertson Huff (@legitsadierob)
"[Sitting] here trying to figure out how I met this cute boy on the beach just 3 years ago from today, and right now as i type that cute boy is my husband looking at our daughter in her nursery (!!!!!!!!)," Robertson captioned the snap. She added, "GOD, YOU ARE GOOD! [christian_huff]." In response, Huff commented on the photo to write, "Love you," along with a heart emoji. As previously mentioned, Robertson gave birth to the couple's first child in early May. The Duck Dynasty star announced the news on Instagram by posting a series of photos, including one in which the new parents snuggle their baby girl shortly after her birth.
"we saw a million little miracles yesterday - the best one being this girl right here... Honey," Robertson wrote along with a yellow heart emoji. "the pure goodness of God. story to come, but I'm way too occupied right now by cuteness." Robertson and Huff, who wed in November 2019, announced that they were expecting in October 2020. At the time, they posed together with Robertson's ultrasound photos to share the happy news. She captioned the photo by writing, in part, "you are already loved and already believed in. Can't wait to welcome you into the world with all the joy, hope, and excitement you will bring into the life of so many by your miraculous incredible life."
