My research projects focus on the interior of terrestrial planets (including the Earth), and icy moons of various dimensions (such as Enceladus, Europa or Ganymede, Titan). I develop numerical tools describing the dynamics of planetary interiors in order to address topics such as solid-state convection of planetary mantles (or icy layers) including the effects of tidal heating or melting, the relationships between mantle heat transfer and core dynamos and the topographic and gravimetric signature of mantle convection.

You probably think that Urban Outfitters is for lomography-obsessed, ironic-canvas-bag-toting, paper-thin-dress-wearing hipsters like the ones above. And you're more or less right! But that doesn't mean they don't carry some kickass gadgetry.
Urban may have made its name selling ironic t-shirts and counterfeit indie jewelry, but its tech selection of everything from iPod docks to digital cameras is formidable. Indeed, any of the following gadgets would knock the socks off of, well, a pair of novelty socks.


Are you a sports journalist? Your report doesn't seem a sports story at all! Are you trying to tell the world that India is poor? Means, the world did not know this earlier and you made some kind of a discovery?
Nobody is proud of its poverty in India, and people need to fight it, I am sure they are going to do great things in the near future and put an end to the poverty. But yesterday was the night to be proud of, as a big sporting event was being inaugurated and the ceremony was fairly good, good enough that Indians could be proud of, good enough that the world should have been happy that something like this could be staged in India and above everybody could enjoy the good entertainment. This point about displaced people and extreme poverty, (I watched this story on the BBC World News' program Asia Today, this morning as well), you could have aired this report yesterday or a day after, I do not understand why or what was the pressing need to club the opening ceremony to this report of people living in poverty. Nobody is proud of poverty, but I am sure the people you have reported about, they would also have enjoyed this ceremony. You can go back and get their reactions. You have actually confused two different topics, and the outcome was nothing more than a bad report. As I read the various comments here, majority of the people commenting have not liked your report, I do not know how BBC sees it, but I suggest you need to do some introspection as what were you trying to report and what you ended up with!
Simply, may be, if some opening ceremony of games could make Indians happy for some time and forget the poverty, you should have reported and let them feel proud of whatever they were happy about. Its more that people are reacting to your report because you are connected to BBC, a respected news source in India so far. Otherwise, nobody would have bothered to write such length comments on this piece of sheer bad standard reporting.
1. Why does Common Wealth Organization (CWO) exist?
2. What have been the achievements of CWO?
3. How many countries have been helped by CWO in fighting poverty?
4. What has been the economic impact of British colonialism on the CW countries that is carrying to the 21st century?
5. Is it true that the CWO is an attempt to keep the sense/feel of the British empire alive among the royal family of Britain and other imperialistic people?
6. What did Britain do to rehabilitate the countries which had huge economic impact of the British occupation?
7. Why did not Britain return the wealth that was accumulated from the occupied countries by all unfair means and filled the treasures of your own country?
8. How many countries are reeling under poverty even today because of the historic economic exploitation of these countries by Britain?
9. Why Britain fed its children with the food that was meant for the malnutrition-ed children of countries like India?
10. Do people think that their ancestors them on the looted food and brought them up with the wealth accumulated by committing atrocities on the poor people of occupied countries during colonialism?
Tom, do write an article and a TV report with these points covered, because the real reason for the in-human conditions of many countries that they live in today...root back to the occupation and economic exploitation of those countries by none other than Great Britain, whose prince Charles came down to the opening ceremony and declared the so called Common Wealth games open in Delhi, yesterday! What do you feel proud of, Tom?
Looking forward to your response or a response from BBC.
These games made India and Delhi both shame and proud, but made many politicians and officials richer by millions! So much has already been written in every media about it that I don't feel like writing the same again. But yes one thing I would wish and pray, that in future if we host a big event like this, or Olympics may be, the CWG mistakes should not be repeated. I hope we have learned a lesson and our politicians and officials, will put our country ahead of petty personal interests and benefits.
This may seem to you very usual Indian phenomenon, but there is a difference actually. While returning back to Delhi, from Himachal, we thought of seeing the Brahm Sarovar at Kuruksetra, on August 24, 2010. We roamed around for a while, then started back towards the GT road. After driving for around 10 minutes, we encountered this railway level crossing, with barriers down. So, it was a typical Indian scene, with people bending down and sneaking through the rail road. We were waiting for around 30 minutes already when we saw a train engine coming towards the crossing, so we were relieved a bit.
The engine arrived, but to our amaze, it stopped in the middle of the crossing! It stayed there for 5 minutes and then went back. But bars were not released, even it had gone back. We could only watch the drama and repent taking that road. Then later, after another 30 minutes, it came back again and did the same. May be it was changing the tracks, I guess. On both sides of the road, by that time, huge traffic had queued! My question to the Indian Railways, or to any authority/department responsible for civil infrastructure, is that even in the 21st century, why we have to go through such "planned" mess daily.
The whole road was blocked for over an hour, what for?, engine changing tracks dot at the level crossing? Such things can only happen in India! Is it a design fault on the part of the Railways or the agency who constructed the road, but the sufferer is the general public. After all this drama, stuck helplessly for more than an hour there, I could imagine why the rate of mishaps at the level crossings in India is so high. This video may make you remember the similar incidents that you yourself might have been through.
The following is my thank you mail to the Hong Kong International Airport staff that I had written in 2010.
Its worth publishing here so that we can learn a few things here in our country and especially our airports.
I am writing here, to thank you everybody out there at the HK airport for the great experience that I had there. I along with my wife, landed on 29th June, 2010, for our honeymoon trip. It was morning 7 AM. Actually, while going to board our bus to hotel, we forgot/lost our Sony digicam at the waiting (near tourist poles) area. So before boarding the bus, my wife looked around for the camera, but couldn't find anywhere. So we went to the hotel, and we were in such a bad mood that we thought our honeymoon has been ruined. We reached the Regal Oriental Hotel at about 10.30 AM. I spoke to the help desk their about this incident, so a person there told me that the airport has a Lost and Found department, and we should speak to them. He gave us the number of the HK airport, and I called, my call was transferred to Mr. Jackie in the Lost and Found department of the airport. I told Mr Jackie that I am Manav and me and my wife landed at the airport this morning from New Delhi, India and have lost our Sony Digicam there. He asked me the model of the camera, I told its T-200. Then he told that "Yes we have one camera with Indian pictures." Suddenly my mood changed and I was so happy as I was sure it was ours. I asked him whether its a black color camera, he replied yes it is. Then I asked him, how can I claim it back, to which he said I need to come back to the airport and sign a paper. I thanked him, and asked the hotel staff how to go back to the airport from the hotel. They told me to take the bus number A22. I went to the nearby bus stop, after some time the bus came, I boarded and reached the airport. There I located the Lost and Found department at the level 6, with the help of ever-helping airport staff. There I met Mr. Jackie in his chamber, I told him about our conversation earlier about the lost camera. He just picked the camera from the table and handed over to me. I tried to show him my picture in the camera, to which he said that "I've already seen that." So nice of him actually. Then he gave me a paper where i filled my India address and signed it. Then I thanked him once again. I could never in my dreams have thought that a lost camera be recovered back. But all the thanks to the unknown person who found it handed it over to Mr. Jackie. Then I came out and was looking to go to the bust terminal again, but was not able to find the way. So there a lady staffer (middle-aged-about 50+), being so generous, helped me buy an Octopus card and then accompanied me to the bust terminal, from where I could get the A22 again, back to the Regal Oriental. I thanked that lady as well. After that me and my wife were so happy, grateful to the HK airport people and enjoyed our stay there to the fullest.
So, in short, I want to thank all the Airport staff in HK, particularly the unknown person who found the camera and gave to Lost and Found Department, Mr. Jackie who was kind enough and returned the camera with no hassle at all, the lady who told me how to buy the octopus card and then the way to bus terminal. and all others whom I asked directions to reach at Mr. Jackie's Chamber.
I request you to convey my hearty regards and love for all these people.
I wish, if you people come to India, we are also able to be like you.
You have not only performed your duty, but made a friend for life time.
You people are just unforgettable.

AKF presidency handed to JS Gehlot, Supreme Court shows no remorse for AKFI presidents
By Vijay Sain
Modified 31 Aug 2018
AKF released the document of declaration after the General Body Meeting.
The Asian Kabaddi Federation (AKF) held a General Body Meeting on 23rd August 2018 during the Kabaddi event of Asian Games held in Jakarta, Indonesia in aspect to elect a new president. Janardhan Singh Gehlot got declared as the Asian Kabaddi Federation(AKF) for the term 2018-2022. The decision is stated to be 'unanimous' since Janardhan Singh Gehlot couldn't attend the meeting because of poor health condition.
The controversy regarding no transparency in Indian Kabaddi Team's selection of both men's and women's team and AKFI's misleading conducts within the system has blown away the Kabaddi world.
The Indian men's team was the first time bronze medalists in 28 years as they held the gold medal since 1990. The women's team walked back home with a silver medal at both the men's and women's team were defeated by Iran in the playoffs.
The meeting took place during the Kabaddi event of Asiad 2018.
Delhi High Court on 3rd August 2018 declared the elections for Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI) presidency as invalid and questioned the selection process of the team which had a jaw-dropping outing in the Asiad event of 2018.
Retired IAS Officer (1972), Sanat Kaul was handed the administration of AKFI to run the AKFI activities until further notice. Sanat Kaul immediately took a call against Mridul Bhadauria to give back all the financial perks which she gained during her involvement with AKFI.
AKFI is an affiliate to Asian Kabaddi Federation(AKF).
Mridul Bhadauria appealed for a stay in the Supreme Court after Delhi HC removed her's and her husband's involvement with the AKFI. However, the Supreme Court showed no remorse as all applications made by the former presidents got rejected.
Supreme Court claimed that the family had been running a self-biased authority which is an abuse of the position. Adv. Bharat Nagar revealed the sources to the media that the Supreme Court took this decision without issuing any notices.
The charges made by the petitioners were against issuance of fake certificates, taking money from the players for a place in the team, sexual harassment and running Asian Kabaddi Federation (AKF) and International Kabaddi Federation (IKF) as parallel structures.

As per the announcement made by Delhi HC, the Indian Kabaddi men's and women's Team will play a trial match which will be observed by the selectors of Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
The Delhi HC on the observation of video clips of the upcoming match will make further announcements regarding the transparency issues of team selection. It will take place in Thyagraj Complex, Delhi on 15th September 2018. The electoral colleges distributed across all states of India as a fresh new election for a new President is bound to take place within six months of announcement.

Man Utd Transfer News: Rumours, Updates, Done Deals & More - Live Blog
Napoli Reportedly Name Price-tag for Man Utd Target Kalidou Koulibaly
Mudeet Arora 15 Apr 2019
Manchester United will have to come up with a world record bid for a defender if they are to have any chance of signing Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly in this summer's transfer window.
The Senegalese defender has been on top of the list of centre-backs for United for a long time now with former United manager Jose Mourinho as well as current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer showing keen interest in him.
It has been reported that Solskjaer will be given quite a lot of money to spend this summer, however, the total budget of the spend will dependent on United's chances to make it into the top four of the Premier League.
Manchester United will have to pay up to £110 million for Napoli's Koulibaly.
Is the Senegalese defender worth that much 🤔
🔂 - Yes
♥ - No pic.twitter.com/Cjouow53vi
— Betin (@BetinKenya) April 15, 2019
Metro report that Koulibaly is reported to be open to move to Old Trafford, however Napoli are said to be under no pressure of selling the player as their financial condition remains stable.
United are said to have definitely financed around £100m for a centre-back of the profile of their choice this summer and Real Madrid star Raphael Varane is reportedly considered the perfect fit as Koulibaly is two years elder than the French defender and Napoli's asking price could push United back from making another move and instead go for Varane.
On the other hand, Solskjaer has been reported to be adamant to cut down the average age of his squad and be ruthless in the transfer market this summer. As many as seven players could leave Old Trafford at the end of this season, including Ander Herrera and Juan Mata.
As for now, the Red Devils are preparing to take on Barcelona at the Camp Nou on Tuesday night.

After meeting up with a lovely couple at the end of last year and booking their wedding I was contacted by them just over a week ago as they had a change of plan. We arrange to meet up for a coffee and discuss the new plans. Originally they were due to marry in November 2018 in a lovely barn in Suffolk. The new date was in March 2019. The new venue. Crowcombe Court in Somerset. An absolutely stunning Victorian mansion originally built in 1739 amounts the beautiful Quantock Hills. Another long distance wedding I cannot wait for. For the Bride it is a welcome return to her hometown and the place where she grew up. During our meeting we all had a browse on the internet at images of the venue which is surrounded by stunning gardens, filled with history and character inside. And not forgetting to mention their amazing Undercroft where the reception will be held. I'm not sure who was more excited looking through the images. Me or the Bride and Groom-to-be.
I'm pretty sure all those roadworks and incidents marked out on my map planner will be gone by then. Possibly replaced by new ones, but as with all weddings that involve a long journey I will be travelling there the day before and staying over.


This is the rebuttal to my last post. I've been in Missoula almost exactly 2 years now, and there is a lot to respect about that time.
I love living in a city that has local food and culture and unbelievable access to wilderness.
I love working for a small, well run company that lives it's values. That gives back to the community, that provides unusually great benefits to employees, and does high quality work to really change our built environment.
I love that my life does not fit neatly into the consumerist corporate America that defines success by the size of my bank account.
I love working with my hands, connecting with other people that work with their hands, to make small but deep impacts in our local community.
I love the friends that I have made here and the fact that I can't list them because there are simply too many.
Not admitting that I love this place seems like a rebuke to all of the above, and that's just not going to fly. I could probably figure out how to live my values anywhere, but doing it here simply reflects their priority.
November 2, I took the train north from San Jose to spend a little time with Dustin. He remains one of the most important and incredible people in my life, and always reminds me how to get back in touch with the priorities that I sometimes lose sight of. We talked about living with a smaller footprint, embracing how little we really need, and chasing passions to the end of our wits. All things that I can see myself doing here.
If my priority were to make as much money as possible (or become as powerful as possible, because the ego is probably what's really under the desire to have "impact") I wouldn't work for my boss or do what I do. I would have stayed in Portland, or moved someplace just as disconnect from wilderness. I've been there, done that, and moved forward with my life choosing otherwise.
My life is it's own definition. Like the willow, for whatever form it takes, I get to define who Skander is and what that means.

The last day of my 29th year was a tiring one. Looking back The goals I set when I returned from Australia have mostly eluded me. Every year will have highs and lows. Things will always be crazy and they will not go according to plan. If your goals elude you, that is a good sign they are worthy enough. The perspective of the first few days of my 30th year reminds me that it has in fact (of course), been another excellent year. Time with my Australian family, an amazing trip in the Wind River, and an increased objection to the notion of what "should be" have been a few among many highlights.
Homestyle birthday breakfast- thanks Paul.
My roommate Tess and I share our birthday on October 12, and we shared simple motivations for a joint celebration- climb with friends then eat great food. Without any additional effort, the gifts of the day were very much greater.
The only thing brighter than the fall colors were the people.
About 10 people showed up Saturday morning to celebrate by climbing. By 7pm, our group had become a 30 person potluck extravaganza in the best way. The night ended at an awesome performance at the Top Hat, with a few more folks that didn't make the potluck.
Bellingham based Polecat tore the roof off an already great party.

Friday afternoons I usually cut out of work early and get out for a hike (if I'm not driving somewhere for the weekend), but this last Friday I stayed late and collapsed on my couch around 530. I had expected to drive to Leavenworth, but the weather made climbing unattractive, so my weekend was unexpectedly open. I didn't even want to think about making plans.
Todd (in helmet) sprints for the opening clues.
I have a willingness to get my rump off the couch that never fails me. That willingness is also rarely wrong, which helps. The event was "Brains and Brawn" and was a fundraiser for the Headwaters Dance Company. It may also have been the most fun single event I've ever done.
Headquarters for "the Prize Spies" – no team with a pirate flag can be defeated.
Todd and Amanda put the team together, and we called ourselves the Prize Spies. Amanda and Jeremy locked down basecamp to handle research and communications. Joran elected to the 20km trailrun, I jumped on the 40km bike ride, and Todd blew up his packraft to get in the river. Joran left first for the clue at the end of his run while Todd and I picked up each of 4 Missoula historical clues, the last of which sent me on a trip to the Milltown overlook state park. I picked up my clue and called Todd who was waiting to put his boat in the water. All of the clues we picked up had part of a geometry problem on it. Amanda and Jeremy solved the geometry to create a map that pointed to the treasure. With Todd and I both thrashing around on the south side of the Clark Fork for 40 minutes, the second place team had ample time to eat up the lead we had put on them in the biking. At the last minute I recognized the driftwood T, and picked up the spray painted treasure chest just ahead of team #2.
Finding the treasure in a neck and neck race is amazingly fun. Thanks to all the participants, but especially my amazing teammates. That was a whole lotta fun.
After the race I was still feeling spunky, so I hit the climbing gym and some ugly weights. My unexpected empty weekend was getting full fast. I raced home, grabbed a shower, made dinner with Steph, and met Simon at a party with my cello. Somehow, he convinced me that joining an epic mountain bike ride on Sunday morning was in order.
We left at 10am, and climbed straight uphill until noon. The race, and the squats from the gym left me feeling gassed at the start. Needless to say I didn't make it all the way to sheep mountain with the boys. The solo trip back down the single track got very, very cold, and I was happy to spend the rest of Sunday in a coffee shop with a hot drink. I haven't bonked quite that hard in a while, and it makes me understand why I see so many mountain bikes here. Good thing I need another adventure sport like I need a hole in my head… Thanks for a fantastic ride boys, and thanks to my stellar roommate Paul for the loaner bike!
Tougher than me. Nick, Simon, and Jack head onwards to Sheep mountain.

Last weekend I got to witness a different sort of adventure. Two close friends, embarking on the adventure of partnership. Their example seems particularly poignant in light of my own recent failures in romance. Ky and Amanda, you have my utmost respect and support for your adventure together. Your practice of love towards each other, and others, has earned at least that much. I hope this is the beginning of the greatest adventure of them all. For whatever may come, I'm here to say that your love for each other is enough- and that is an incredibly beautiful thing.
The wedding weekend was a good one. It felt good to play the cello as Amanda walked down the aisle. It felt good to dance with a bridesmaid and smile at the stunning sunset over the Bitterroot. It felt good to climb outside for the first time since foot surgery (thanks Brian!), and swing my kettlebell to the end of my grip.
Perfect sunset, before a perfect moon.
Just a week ago, life was good. This weekend, I'm not so optimistic. Work has been intense, I'm feeling sick, and I've felt depressed since Monday. I don't get it. This body of mine just doesn't want to cooperate with summer adventures. My foot is starting to feel good again, but my throat is swollen shut, and I've had a headache for 3 days. Questions around simplicity and consistency come up. Why does my mood swing? Why does my optimism wane? I'm still not going on the adventures I'd like, and that makes me sad. At the root of it all, my value system is broken because I believe that what I do determines my worth as a person. Whether or not I'm a good person, or this is good blog post depends on whether I had a sweet climbing adventure versus spending a perfectly good Saturday on my couch (or in my office). It's not supposed to be this way, but changing that is up to me.
I'm pet sitting for some friends this weekend, and they have a beautiful habit of leaving notes for each other on their mirror. When I got home this morning, I took their queue.
See yourself for who you are, not who you aren't.
Let's set a better tone for this week.

Driving down I-84 into the Columbia River Gorge Friday night I felt my chest rise and breathe a little more easily. Portland feels like a stable vantage point to look back at the course I've plotted since the spring of 2011. A step back from the (suddenly insignificant) concerns I choose to carry in the day to day of Missoula.
Life seems nice here. Maybe it's the options for breakfast, but more likely it is the deep relationships that have already weathered time and distance. The bigness of the city reminds me of the smallness of my life, like my brother that reminds me not to take myself too seriously.
My foot is healing. I'm back in regular shoes, but walking with a limp. Workouts still aren't a priority, and some of the nerve ends still aren't firing correctly. Many cups of coffee and brilliant Portland food accompany a description of my life that plays on repeat, every two hours meeting a new old friend. David has an xtracycle that makes riding around town feel even more familiar (I still miss that bike). Being back here seems to lift the self imposed limits I've put on my life in Missoula.
A little too much fun?
I mostly made it back to spend some time with Mark and Kylee before they move to Philadelphia. Upon arrival, my priorities seemed to multiply, and I filled every possible minute seeing people. The farther I am from living there, the more I realize how that place affected my adult life. Thanks to everyone there that continues to support me, David for putting me up (with a real bed and everything), and George for putting up with me.
Barb, the Doctor, and Gleb (if he weren't in Mongolia).
I'm excited to be back in Missoula. In many ways, this is the harder path, but there's space here for consequence. Space to try and fail and success and explore. Maybe I didn't challenge myself to take my Portland life to the next level, but it seemed obvious. I left to follow my journey, and I'm glad to come back here and find I'm still on it.

Iran-Pakistan maritime cooperation can lead strategic ties: Navy official
TEHRAN — An Iranian Navy official said on Sunday that Iran-Pakistan naval interactions will lead to deep and strategic relations between the two friendly and neighboring countries.
Speaking during a ceremony held for the arrival of the Pakistani fleet to the first naval zone of the Iranian Navy in Bandar Abbas, Captain Qader Vazifeh also said these naval interactions surely prove that regional countries, especially the friendly and Muslim ones, can manage their own region, IRNA reported.
The Navy official went on to say that there is no need for the presence of trans-regional forces in the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Vazifeh expressed hope that these relations and naval visits would become more recurrent.
Pakistan's Ambassador to Tehran, Rahim Hayat Qureshi , and Defense Attaché Imran Kashif were present in the welcoming ceremony.
For his part, the commander of the Pakistani fleet said, "This fleet consists of three ships that has now entered Bandar Abbas."
Admiral Reyhan added, "Our presence here will increase interactions between the two countries."
The Pakistani fleet, consisting of three warships, docked in the 1st naval zone of the Iranian Navy in Bandar Abbas on Sunday morning and will stay there until Wednesday.
After the military ceremony, Admiral Reyhan was personally welcomed by the commander of the 1st naval zone of the Iranian Navy.
This is the second visit by the Pakistan Navy to Bandar Abbas in the current year. The fleet traveled to Bandar Abbas on April 3-6.
The purpose of the trip was to strengthen military-diplomatic relations between Iran and Pakistan.

Ronald Sloy provides a market review at the 2015 Sloy, Dahl & Holst Invitational held on July 20, 2015 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club. Here's the video tribute from the day. Later that evening there was a tribute dinner in memory of Jerome Kersey.
Sloy, Dahl & Holst, Inc. is happy to state that we have been chosen by the Financial Times as one of the Top 300 Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) Firms of 2015. The Financial Times recognized Sloy, Dahl & Holst, Inc. after a thorough review of over 2000 firms nation-wide. "The FT 300 provides a snapshot of the very best across the US," wrote Loren Fox, FT's Director of Research at the Financial Time's Money-Media subsidiary publication. Sloy, Dahl & Holst, Inc. is one of three Oregon based firms recognized for the award.
Bill Schonely of the Portland Trailblazers introduced Ron Sloy at Jerome Kersey Memorial. Ron was Jerome's best man at his wedding and his long-term friend.
It's been a fascinating year. So far, January has been volitile. We foresee that trend sticking around for a while: up 300 points on the Dow one day, down 300 the following. The good news is, since we've moved into February the market has seen about a 500 point move. We feel there's a gigantic opportunity in the energy industry, continue preferring healthcare, and we like the idea of moving cash into Europe in the next 90 days. I specified last year we'd do a 10% return in 2014. I think due to energy prices we'll actually see better results than that in 2015. You can expect equities to give back 10-14%.
2014 finished as another decent year. Wound up approximately 10%. We had the Ebola emergency breakout back in October which sent quite a wave through the market, overall it was a good year though. January 2014 we anticipated we'd end the year at a 18,000 Dow and we essentially did. 2015 looks to be an extremely unstable. We envision a return on equity of about 8%-10%. Expect to see oil prices stabilize in the next quarter as well as interest rates flattening out.
In regards to the Feds message today, it would seem that the Federal Reserve is going to keep on supporting the business sectors. Encouraged Chairwoman Janet Yellen kept up her stern stance and abstained from annoying markets with any shocks. We feel October could yield a decent month for the business sector. Markets headed higher today, shut at an untouched high on the S & P 500 and the Dow. Expect the business sector to head higher through the final quarter of this current year. I wouldn't be astounded to see a 18,000 Dow by year-end, right now we're at 17,150 and a S & P of around 2,100. We plan to be exceptionally bullish on the U.S. equities because it would appear that the Feds are going to keep on supporting us.

A comfortable brushed polyester interior is extremely soft against your skin while the outer fabric is smooth and silky. The athletic fit hugs your body without being too form-fitting, so you can layer it under a protective outer shell or insulated jacket. Pair with the Chamonix Viriat mid-weight pant.
Chamonix has proven to be a good value brand.


What Are Your Child's Gifts From God?
When your child is young, he is probably more interested in the bow on his present than what is in the box. Eventually, he discovers what is inside is more exciting than the wrapping (unless Martha Stewart is your aunt!). He will eagerly tear the paper to get to what is inside.
God gives everyone gifts or talents. We will teach our child how to open a birthday present, but have we taught her how to open her gifts from God? My guess is many of us still have presents from God we have yet to open. We haven't even thought about teaching our children how to find and open their own gifts.
When most preachers discuss gifts, they will usually refer to the story of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30. I have heard various interpretations of this passage over the years. I personally prefer to look at the lives of the apostles as an example of people discovering their gifts. Peter was a fisherman who became a great preacher, missionary and writer. John was possibly even a teenager when he was an apostle. Also a fisherman, he became an important mentor, writer and preacher for the early church. I seriously doubt if you had interviewed any of their mothers, the women would have predicted the young boys they were raising would do anything different than their fathers had done.
Obviously, the difference was that Jesus became a part of their lives. He mentored them and gently helped them discover their gifts. I believe when he sent out the disciples on their own for a period of time, he was helping them try out their talents. My favorite part of Matthew chapter 10 is when Jesus reassures them not to worry about what they will say, but that the Spirit will help them.
As parents, our job is not to tell our children what we think their gifts should be. I have seen too many parents project the gifts they wish they had been given on to their children. I went to college with too many accounting majors who wanted to be artists or teachers who wanted to be historians or writers. They were miserable, because they were not doing what God had gifted them to do.
So how do we help our children (and ourselves) find out what gifts God has given us? I have no studies or scriptures I can quote (although they may exist) which show the perfect way. I have seen over the years what seems to work. I have watched children who have grown in to gifted adults. They are now men and women who are active in the Lord's work. They have numerous gifts and it seems like every time you talk to them, you discover a new gift they have. You have probably met a few of these gifted individuals yourself.
There are a few qualities I have noticed many of these people have in common. The first and probably most important is that they have a close relationship with God. They study the scriptures, pray and actively look and listen for God's direction in their lives. If they believe God is leading them to develop a new talent, they ask Him for clarification. They start down the new road and follow the open and shut doors God provides. They don't try to push through a closed door because they "know that this is what God would want for me". Instead they follow God's directions as they are given.
Gifted individuals are willing to do "chores" even in areas that are not in their areas of giftedness. They will clean up after a church fellowship, help in the nursery and pour juice into communion cups. Sometimes God just needs us to pitch in and help. I have even been asked to help for a time in areas where I most definitely did not have a talent. God gave me the ability to do those tasks properly for a time and then allowed me to find an appropriate replacement when my real talents (and time) were needed elsewhere.
Finally, they are willing to follow their heart and risk looking foolish by attempting new things. I strongly believe finding your talents may mean going down a few roads which do not lead to a discovery of new gifts. Sometimes the only way you can be sure is to start trying something new. God will give you confirmation if it is one of your true gifts. Sometimes it may only lead to a fun experience or in my case a few amusing anecdotes. That is fine. You may also discover the amazing ways God can use your newly found gift to further the kingdom.
My daughter and I have had a lot of discussions about talents lately. She is in a period of discovery. She is attempting new things. Some she has a talent for, but she doesn't particularly enjoy them. Other areas she may love, but she may have little talent in those subjects. Some are her passion and she is obviously gifted in those areas. She may find she will use all of these experiences for God at some point in her life. Some she may only use for short periods, while her obvious gifts she will probably use most of her life.
The best thing I can do for her is to encourage her. Encourage her to develop her own close relationship with God. Teach her how to see His guidance. Encourage her to follow her heart and try new things. Teach her to try to help God, even in areas she think she may not enjoy, just for the experience. Currently one of the gifts she is the most passionate in pursuing is in an area she thought she disliked for years. Suddenly, last spring, she decided she wanted to try and take lessons in the subject. She has loved every minute and has some obvious talent in the area.
I know, as a parent raising a child in a competitive world, it seems counter-intuitive to allow your child to "dabble". In reality, you may actually help him discover how God will use him in the future. We do have some rules about activities revolving around respecting the income of the person teaching you the lessons and giving a new activity a fair chance. Beyond that, it is our daughter's walk with God. We can give her guidance, support and love. Ultimately, we need to teach her to listen for God's directions. Eli knew to tell Samuel to ask God what He wanted when God called him. We need to do the same for our own children.
As a late bloomer in some of my gifts, I would encourage you to start seeing if there are some gifts you haven't discovered. If your heart has always yearned to learn something, you are never too old to try. You may find you have a few gifts from God you still have to open! Have fun and enjoy the process of discovery for you and your child. You may just be amazed at what blessings God still has in store for you.


The social media platforms of Facebook and Instagram have got hit by severe outages. Users present on both the popular social media platforms have not managed to load the applications and hence not been able to access their accounts. The outage, which has taken place world over, has affected users in the US, UK, Europe and also in some parts of Australia and South Africa. Some users also came across the crash on their Facebook Messenger all around the world last evening. There, the users from Europe have been the hardest hit. This outage on a worldwide basis has left users only coming across a message saying service unavailable. Users of Instagram were not able to use the website service but the application seemed to function quite normally.
Last evening saw a large conglomerate of Facebook getting hit with yet another technical issue with the crash of their Messenger. Around 49 percent of the users reported that they were not able to connect to the server on Monday afternoon. Many of them even indicated that they were facing problems in receiving messages while others mentioned that they could not log in to their accounts at all. The application seemed to have crashed just after 3 pm (ET). The users of Messenger in Europe got badly affected by the problem on Monday afternoon, with most of the reports coming through from places like the UK, Ireland, Belgium, Poland and Denmark.
The United States was also not left behind in this global problem. Users in the region were severely affected by maximum problems cropping up in the West Coast. Just a week ago, users of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp all around the world suffered a complete blackout for almost an hour after the sites crashed in the early part of 12th November. All those who made an attempt to access the site in their desktops came across a message that said, sorry something had gone wrong. On the other hand, mobile users were not able to refresh the News Feed.


FMD (foot and mouth disease) is ravaging the United Kingdom and by the middle of last week, cases were confirmed in France and in Italy.
What is happening "on the ground" in England, as I write this? The web brings immediacy to this tragedy, whereby distressed British farmers are witnessing the slaughter, then burning of their herds in giant, smoking pyres.
"The situation here in the UK is now a complete disaster. The whole rural economy is at a standstill. All movement of livestock is banned, unless direct to slaughter under a strict licensing system. All public foot paths are closed, sporting fixtures are postponed and social gatherings cancelled or put on hold. Everyone is extremely nervous, watching the media for a fresh outbreak close to home, thereby threatening their own animals and livelihood.
It is important to recognize what is at stake. The risk is not "only" that a farm family may lose its own herd. Under normal conditions, a herd can be replaced with relative ease. But this FMD is not "situation normal." What if so many animals have been destroyed due to FMD that there are no/little breeding cattle stock left? And what happens if the genetic pool has been seriously depleted or, in some cases with some breeds, eradicated?
As the news tells us, British and French farmers in infected regions have been forced to (or have voluntarily) barricaded their farms. Any vehicle or person travelling in or out of the farm property must pass over hay or mats soaked in disinfectant, and I believe that some entire areas are shut to outside traffic.
International travel also poses a risk, whether for pleasure, business… or school trips. Travellers to Europe and the UK so far must walk over mats soaked in disinfectant prior to boarding planes. And I believe that CBC radio recently reported at least one school class having to rent rooms at a hotel where all kids had to have special showers, wash with vinegar.
Is walking over a mat adequate protection? Or is it merely a Band-Aid, an attempt at holding a virulent virus at bay when money from tourism is hard to refuse?
Which brings us to the Pontiac Protestant High School's upcoming trip to Europe. Is it appropriate for kids from our rural farming community to go to London, Paris, Lucerne (Switzerland) and Heidelberg (Germany)? To find out moe, I interviewed Joan Conrod, the PPHS teacher who has organized this educational trip on Monday March 19. Because of the virus, she called Agriculture Canada, who advised her to call the Department of Foreign Affairs. I understand they told her that there is no contamination in these cities unless someone brings "infected manure in on their boot." As of now, she says, the kids would simply have to disinfect their boots by walking over a mat soaked in disinfectant.
However, she was advised to call again a week prior to the trip to ensure the rules haven't altered. Pending the Department's advice, further action may be required. She also mentioned that the travel company, Education First ("EF") has not yet sent the tickets to the kids, and that this is later than usual. She wonders whether EF is waiting just in case the itinerary needs changing.
In addition, Mrs. Conrod told me she had heard something about travellers not being supposed to return to farms prior to a 14-day "quarantine." Of the 50 kids going, apparently 10 or 11 live on farms, but the others may visit friends or family on Pontiac farms. The trip has many parents concerned about what to do, Mrs. Conrod noted… And they are not the only ones. The UPA, MAPAQ office and local producers share this concern, given the gravity of the situation and the presence of over 450 farms in our region.
Are we at risk in Canada? Of course we are. Canada and the Pontiac are not islands… and the UK proves just how much being an island is irrelevant, anyhow.
If you think about it, the return of the Russian spacestation Mir to Earth this week puts our home planet at risk from a different contamination: now from outer space.
We often hear words like, "there's no safe haven left." Well, I suppose there never was a truly safe haven, because as species travel our oceans, air and land, habitats and worlds collide, mutate, thrive and die off.
But FMD gives us much food for thought, doesn't it?

You may have never even heard of Wotton before.
The tiny village near Dorking in Surrey is all of just 8.6 square miles big.
Aside from a restaurant nearby, there's only really De Vere Wotton House (where to stay) and Denbies Wine Estate (where to play) in terms of local establishments.
The nearest village with a small number of shops is Westcott. It's certainly a world away from modern life.
Together, Wotton House and Denbies make the perfect pairing for a romantic weekend away, and the stunning Wotton countryside is perfect for long country walks.
Here are my highlights from this little-known location.
What Wotton lacks in modernity and easy accessibility it makes up for in breathtaking sights.
The parish is entirely within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – so go check it out.
Trails both long and short meander through the rolling hills and you can easily see for yourself if you're staying any longer than 24 hours.
Two days in Wotton would be ideal to allow you to properly soak in grand Wotton House, stop off for a few tipples at Denbies, and hike across the stunning countryside in good time. Perhaps you could even have an afternoon tea before you leave.
The well-wooded parish lies in a narrow valley, reaching the North Downs in the north and Leith Hill in the south.
Wotton Common even boasts Surrey's only natural waterfall.
Wotton House is a former Downton-style upstairs-downstairs family home, with more than 100 rooms, built in the 1600s. It even has a FORT around it.
Spreading beyond that is acres of stunning garden landscape full of sculptures (some new ones by Surrey-based artist Emma Stothard have just been added), a huge fountain, grotto, patio and more.
Surprises hide around very corner and there are photo ops a-plenty from many peaks and points.
Take a break from lazing around your room to go on a long walk around the grounds.
My vegan partner and I (also vegan) had a bespoke vegan menu created for us by head chef Jonathan Spires to accompany and complement a selection of wines from Denbies.
De Vere Wotton House offers breakfast and dinner as part of the Wine Lovers weekend package.
My partner and I enjoyed warm breads with olive oil and balsamic over fizz before devouring course after course of vegan delicacies accompanied by white, red, rose and dessert Denbies wines.
A nightcap by the fire in the library is optional, but after all the wine we decided to skip it.
Rolling out of bed for breakfast the next morning, you'll be in for a treat. Aside from the – by now – expected excellence of the buffet spread, there's a squeeze-your-own OJ station.
Soya cappuccinos and soya porridge with fresh berries are also available at no trouble, on request.
You have to go to Denbies winery if you're in the area. Wotton House can help sort this for you if you're staying there.
All wines are vegan and veggie friendly so we could try all of them.
We were given a glass of fizz then taken to watch a 20 minute movie about the vineyard's history.
It was actually very engaging and set the scene for an education into wine as we learned about the fermentation process – and made the tastings feel very well informed.
Denbies' most popular wine is a smooth and sweet white called Surrey Gold but my absolute fave and one which I will be buying myself is the Juniper Hill. It's like a creamy Chardonnay made with Autega and Bacchus grapes, coming in at around £10.
I also loved the Greenfields fizzy white, which spends five years in the bottle and is made from three grapes: Pinot Noir, Pinot Munier, and Chardonnay. These are the three champagne grapes… So it's basically champagne?
We stayed in a so-called 'Junior Suite' named Primula.
No idea why it's called 'Junior' as it's the biggest hotel room I've ever been in. And I've been to plenty.
It had a king size bed, tons of storage space, a seating area with sofas and loungers and a huge en suite with a bright white bath in the middle big enough for a family of four.
We could see the entire gardens stretch beyond our massive windows.
An absolute dream room for a couple on a romantic weekend away. If only we could take it home with us!
De Vere Wotton House is easily accessible from London Waterloo or Victoria on a direct train and the hotel can provide transfers from the station – arrange a collection time at reception.
The closest train station is Dorking, which is just an hour from central London by train.
One night bed and breakfast stay in a Superior Room with dinner in the hotel's 1877 Restaurant and tickets to Denbies Wine Estate.
Otherwise, rooms start from £129 per room per night, based on double occupancy.


You will find what you need to know on the page structural isomerism.
If you are reading this early on in your organic chemistry course, don't worry about the names of the different sorts of compound mentioned in the section about functional group isomerism.
For now, all that matters is that you should be aware that you may be able to join up a certain number of atoms in various different ways. I keep going on about this but, in the early stages, this is much, much easier to understand if you have some models to play with.

Q: How to put files in a zip archive using Python zipfile I wrote a python(3.5) script that creates backup of my files in zip archive and it works well. I use windows and I installed zip command from GnuWin32 for this project. But I want to use Python's Zipfile library instead. How can I modify my code?
import os
import time
import sys

source = 'C:\\ExampleFile'

target_directory ='D:\\BACKUP'

confirm = input("Are you sure you want to run backup? (y/n): ")

if confirm == "y":
    if not os.path.exists(target_directory):
        os.mkdir(target_directory)

    Folder = target_directory + os.sep + time.strftime('%d-%m-%Y')
    Subfolder = time.strftime('%H-%M')

    comment = input('Enter a backup comment (optional):  ')

    if len(comment) == 0:
        target = Folder + os.sep + Subfolder + '.zip'
    else:
        target = Folder + os.sep + Subfolder + '_' + comment.replace(' ', '_') + '.zip'
    if not os.path.exists(today):
        os.mkdir(Folder)
        print('Successfully created directory', Folder)

    zip_command = "zip -r {0} {1}".format(target,''.join(source))

    print("Running:")
    if os.system(zip_command) == 0:
        print('\nSuccessful backup to', target)
    else:
        print('\nBackup FAILED')

elif confirm == "n":
    sys.exit()
else:
    print("Use only 'y' or 'n'")

A: This might be a good start:
#!/usr/bin/python
import zipfile, os

def zipdir(path, fname="test.zip"):
    zipf = zipfile.ZipFile(fname, 'w', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
        for file in files:
            zipf.write(os.path.join(root, file))
    zipf.close()

A: Change zip_command = "zip -r {0} {1}".format(target,''.join(source))
to the python zip file. Something like zip_command = "zip.py -r {0} {1}".format(target,''.join(source))

Students spread festive cheer during Manchester's Christmas light switch-on
03rd Dec 2020
Carpentry and Joinery students at The Manchester College have designed and built this year's Christmas crib for Manchester Cathedral.
The Level 2 Carpentry and Joinery students were briefed to create a Christmas crib, measuring 2mx2mx1.2m and fully illuminated, to be displayed outside Manchester Cathedral in the city centre.
The crib featured in this year's Manchester Christmas light switch-on on Wednesday evening (3 December), which took place at the Cathedral in a change to the traditional event in Albert Square due to the pandemic.
The event was filmed by BBC North West Tonight with the College students invited to attend alongside the Lord Mayor of Manchester councillor Tommy Judge, the Bishops and Deans of Manchester and Salford Cathedrals, members of the Manchester Cathedral choir and selected NHS workers who flicked the switch.
Chris Wright, Assistant Principal, Automotive Construction Engineering and Logistics, said: "We were approached by Manchester Cathedral via our Group Chief Executive, John Thornhill, to support a joint initiative between Manchester and Salford cathedrals.
"Manchester Cathedral wanted its own dedicated crib so our carpentry and joinery students, whose qualification will feature in our brand new Industry Excellence Academy, were asked to create one.
"Our students, who will become our T Level students in September 2021, did a superb job designing and building the crib to a professional brief in just a two week window.
"We are thrilled that they have been able to use their professional skills to produce such an iconic Christmas structure for Manchester Cathedral and the city as a whole to enjoy."
John Thornhill, Chief Executive of LTE Group, which the College is part of, was in attendance and said: "Work on the College's new state of the art city centre campus is now well underway and when it opens, our friends at the Cathedral will be close neighbours of ours.
Going forward I hope that this will be the start of many joint initiatives to support people and communities in the city.
"Our students have worked against very tight timescales to support what is a very different yet very fitting start to this year's Christmas period. I'd like to pass on a big thank you to all of them for their hard work."
Manchester Cathedral has worked closely with The Manchester College on a series of projects.
Dean of Manchester, Rogers Morgan Govender MBE, said:
We are delighted with the partnerships between ourselves, The Manchester College and Manchester City Council. This shows how partnerships can work together even during this difficult time.

Mangala Mani: ISRO Scientist Who Was In The Historic Antarctica Mission
by	Mansi Wadhwa
Mangala Mani is the first ISRO female scientist to spend more than a year in Antarctica. She was the only woman in that zone as the Russian and Chinese earth stations also did not have any woman during the 2016-17 period.
In December 2018 a team of ISRO's scientists completed a 403-day expedition at Bharathi, India's research station in Antarctica. Mangala Mani was the only woman in this all-male team. She was a part of a 23-member expedition team. The 56-years old Mani operated and maintained the ground station where 10 of 14 orbits would be visible at Bharathi.
She is the first ISRO female scientist to spend more than a year in Antarctica. She was the only woman in that zone as the Russian and Chinese earth stations also did not have any woman during the 2016-17 period. Back then she told Times of India "The Antarctica mission was really a challenge. The climate there was very harsh. We were very careful while going out of our climate-controlled research station." She also said, "One had to wear polar clothing. Even two or three hours out in the severe cold was too much and one had to come back immediately for warm-up."

Here are a few things you must know about this inspiring woman:
A newspaper article by NASA on Mars inspired her to join a space organization. She did her model Diploma for Technicians – Radio Apparatus (MDT-RA) from Government Polytechnic in Masab Tank, Hyderabad. Mani was the only female in the batch of 80 students.
First, Mani worked at HAL, Balanagar for an apprenticeship (after completing her diploma). She later joined ISRO.
She is working in National Remote Sensing Center, Shadnagar in Hyderabad. The centre collects data on earth's resources from the satellites. Further, that data is processed and distributed to the users. This data is used for monitoring and managing the resources to help disaster support systems.
Mani always had a dream for exploration. Antarctica expedition was an opportunity for her to prove her point. And she successfully performed the task.
Mani also inspired another ISRO female scientist who volunteered to be part of the Antarctica mission.
"The Antarctica mission was really a challenge. The climate there was very harsh. We were very careful while going out of our climate-controlled research station." She also said "One had to wear polar clothing. Even two or three hours out in the severe cold was too much and one had to come back immediately for warm-up."
She had never experienced snow before the Antarctica expedition. Mani and her teammates had to take several physical and mental tests over the course of a few weeks for making the cut for the selection team.
She spent two weeks at an altitude of 9000 feet in Auli, Uttrakhand to adjust to the ice. Later she and her team were taken to an altitude of 10000 feet in Badrinath. At Badrinath, her physical strength was tested. She carried heavy backpacks on extensive treks as part of the test.
Mani stitched the image of Antarctica on a pillow cover for her mother for International Women Day in 2017.

Seminar "Sustainable food systems, food security and rural people capacity development"
In the framework of the courses on "Economics and agro-industry system policy" and "Regional Policies", a member of the ERP Coordination Unit presented a lecture on sustainable food systems, food security and rural people capacity development.
The seminar contributed, together with similar initiatives at other Universities, to share and foster knowledge about the change process – undertaken by the University of Modena - to promote capacity development in areas related to FAO's mandate such as rural development and poverty reduction.
The ERP partnership opened the seminar with a power point presentation on "Sustainable Food Systems, Food Security and Rural People Capacity Development" organized by the Faculty of Economics "Marco Biagi" of the University of Modena (Italy). The presentation drew mainly from the research conducted by the Education for Rural People (ERP) Partnership and synthesized in its publications and web site as well as in FAO normative publications. About 100 participants attended the workshop, to share their experience and research, learn more about the relation between capacity development and education and training for rural people, and contribute to a substantive dialogue.
Professor Paola Bertolini presented a paper which is a first tentative analysis of the phenomenon of rural poverty in the European Union's regions. The analysis includes the whole EU-27 territory at NUTS3 -from French "nomenclature des unités territoriales statistiques"- (1) level and uses EUROSTAT data, supplemented in some cases by national data. In the first part, the presentation discusses the problem of defining rural areas and examines the indicators used for international comparisons (OECD and InfoRegio definitions). Afterwards, a different typology of rural and non-rural areas was presented, based on population density and the share of employment in agriculture. Three categories of regions ("Predominantly Urban", "Intermediate" and "Predominantly Rural") have been identified and then compared with regard to income, demography, education and labour market. The conclusions of the presentation underlined the relevance of the rural poverty phenomenon still existing in the European Union, which could be reinforced by the financial and economic crisis in the European Union countries.
The FAO mission identified, in cooperation with professor Bertolini, the possibility of extending the dialogue to all interested FAO services - through the Inter-Departmental Task Group on Training for Technicians for Capacity Development (TGTTCD) – and the ERP partners, in order to foster possible future knowledge exchange and cooperation.
The Faculty of Economics of the University of Modena has joined ERP as a new member. The Faculty Dean, Professor Eugenio Coperchione, welcomed in person the FAO officer to indicate how important the University considers the cooperation with FAO and ERP and expressed the wish to see this cooperation developing in the near future. Many other professors of the Faculty of Economics Marco Biagi , were interested to the FAO activities and participated to the seminar, such as professor Paolo Bosi, president of CAPP (Centro di Analisi Politiche Pubbliche), professor Paolo Sivestri, coordinator of the Masters programme in Economics and Public Policies, Professor Enrico Giovannetti, expert on Social Enterprises and Cooperation.. An interesting aspect of the meeting at the University of Modena was also the participation of other Faculties and of some Social Enterprises with an experience in developing countries.

How To Spot Coronavirus Fake News
By sb admin on March 20, 2020.
The proliferation of fake news about the COVID-19 pandemic has been labelled a dangerous "infodemic". Fake news spreads faster and more easily today through the internet, social media and instant messaging. These messages may contain useless, incorrect or even harmful information and advice, which can hamper the public health response and add to social disorder and division.
Confusingly some fake news also contains a mixture of correct information, which makes it difficult to spot what is true and accurate. Fake news may also be shared by trusted friends and family, including those who are doctors and nurses. They might not have read the full story before sharing or just glanced over it. Before you decide to share, make sure to read stories properly and follow some checks to determine the accuracy.
If the story appears to claim a much higher level of certainty in its advice and arguments than other stories, this is questionable. People will be seeking certainty in a time of high uncertainty, anxiety and panic. So it is only natural to more readily accept information that resolves, reassures and provides easy solutions – unfortunately, often in a false way.
Similarly, if a story is more surprising or upsetting than other stories it is worth double-checking, as fake news will try to grab your attention by being more exaggerated than real stories.
What to look out for
Source. Question the source. References have been made to "Taiwanese experts" or "Japanese doctors" or "Stanford University" during the outbreak. Check on official websites if stories are repeated there. If a source is "a friend of a friend", this is a rumour unless you also know the person directly.
Logo: Check whether any organisation's logo used in the message looks the same as on the official website.
Bad English: Credible journalists and organisations are less likely to make repeated spelling and grammar mistakes. Also, anything written entirely in capital letters or containing a lot of exclamation marks should raise your suspicions.
Pretend social media accounts: Some fake accounts mimic the real thing. For example, the unofficial Twitter handle @BBCNewsTonight, which was made to look like the legitimate @BBCNews account, shared a fake story about the actor Daniel Radcliffe testing positive for coronavirus. Media platforms try to remove or flag fake accounts and stories as well as verify real ones. Look out for what their policies are to try to do this.
Over-encouragement to share: Be wary if the message presses you to share – this is how viral messaging works.
Use fact-checking websites: Websites such as APFactCheck and Full Fact highlight common fake news stories. You can also use a search engine to look up the title of the article to see if it has been identified as fake news by the mainstream media.
Who to trust
The best sources to go to for health information about COVID-19 are your government health websites and the World Health Organization website. Primary sources are generally better than news articles.
Even government messaging and the mainstream media can get things wrong, but they are more trustworthy than unverified sources on social media and viral messaging. For instance, The Conversation is a more trusted source because all content is written by academics who are experts in their fields.
A time of high uncertainty. How Hwee Young/EPA
Charlatans have been promoting false preventions and cures for people to spend their money on. For example, the New York attorney general has had to send cease and desist notices for claims that toothpaste, dietary supplements and creams will prevent and cure COVID-19.
The effects can also be more serious than losing some cash. Iran has reported at least 44 people died from alcohol poisoning after drinking bootleg alcohol in a misguided attempt to cure COVID-19.
Unfortunately, the most basic and correct advice given so far does not offer a miracle or special insight. Wash your hands often (use hand sanitisers if you cannot), avoid touching your face, and sneeze or cough into the crook of your elbow or a tissue (and throw it away in a bag-lined bin). Avoid crowds and public places, keep a sensible distance from people, and do not travel unless absolutely necessary. Now many governments are introducing measures including travel bans and quarantines that need to be followed to protect the health of everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
We can all get caught out. Think twice about the messages currently circulating and help guide your family and friends to decide what to trust.
