What can the NHS learn from the Talk Talk breach?
The NHS does not have a great track record, when it comes to data sharing. The big technology projects to enable data sharing have been bigger political and financial icebergs than first appeared and often leading to wrecks.
For all the information governance structures, we still see regular data breaches from the NHS. You fear that if the recent Talk Talk hackers had a real go at health data, it would lead to many more breaches.
So, is less data sharing and more security the answer? Yes perhaps, to greater security, but certainly no to less sharing. Put simply, if we are going to integrate services to improve basic care and the patient experience we have to accept data sharing. No one, even in the commercial organisations badly affected by data breaches, is really saying "let’s go back to paper records".
The real clincher for me, however, is the fact that health cannot remain behind with the rest of our everyday life led on the assumption of near universal data sharing with appropriate security. The way most businesses operate effectively today is absolutely based on shared data. Younger generations who have grown up knowing nothing else assume their data will be shared not kept in silos. They recognise that to exist online they have to share data. This may be uncomfortable for us, but our children will be the ones consuming and delivering health services. Increasingly we need to accept they will operate on a fundamentally different set of assumptions about the use and sharing of data.

Viagogo has responded to the Australian music industry’s push to get the controversial ticket resale website banned.
The drive to lobby against the Swiss-based firm has received backing from the likes of rock band Gang of Youths (pictured), Laneway Festival and artists Tash Sultana and Amy Shark.
The music industry’s campaign is a part of the Labor Party’s goal to get Viagogo out of Australia.
Gang Of Youths called Viagogo a “disgraceful and disruptive scam” for allowing scalpers to use its platform.
In a statement to Music Feeds, Viagogo said: “Viagogo provides a platform for third party sellers to sell tickets to event goers.
“Viagogo does not set ticket prices, sellers set their own prices, which may be above or below the original face value.
“The tickets sold on Viagogo’s platform are genuine tickets that have been sold on by the original ticket purchaser in good faith.”
The firm continued to say that its tickets sold on its platform are “genuine tickets,” though it added that customers who have “problems with their tickets” are advised to contact the company through its event day hotline.
“We are often able to find replacement tickets right away, and in the rare instances we are not able to, customers receive a full refund,” Viagogo said.
The company said prices to certain events may increase “where demand is high and tickets are limited”, and admitted that “customers will often find multiple sets of tickets for the same section at different prices” on its site.
Viagogo also hit back at event organisers who deter fans from buying from Viagogo or even warn ticket-buyers that they would be turned away at the door if they purchased through Viagogo.
“These types of entry restrictions are highly unfair and in our view, unenforceable and illegal,” the company said.
“Therefore, as with all tickets on our platform, Viagogo customers should feel confident that they will gain entry to the event, and that is why we back every ticket with the Viagogo guarantee.”

*Please note, occasionally the calendar must be adjusted. Often performance opportunities come along after the start of the school year. Sometimes they’re even “paying gigs” or they’re opportunities that we really don’t want to pass up because of the possibility of performing in a great venue or in front of a large, responsive audience. I try very hard to respect your time and only add things to the calendar when it seems the benefits outweigh the costs. If the calendar changes, I will communicate the changes ASAP.

Oh boy. This year has been a blur so far lol I've managed to keep myself tidy and get as organized as possible with the amount of time I leave. I'm trying to manage my time better. I don't think I've spent a night in my apartment this year yet. I really don't care but it's just funny to notice. Mark and I have a great time together playing video games or being in one another's company. He sort of keeps me grounded when I start taking offense to something minor or have a skewed perspective. I like that about him.
I heard from my new boss today. Apparently I'm starting in about two weeks. My old boss has two weeks to find a replacement but who knows how long that could take. She told me this was "tentative". I'm just going to soak up all the good things I like about my job and hope for the best in the future. Maybe make a few mental notes of things I'm NOT going to miss. Oh my, that would be quite a long list.
I had my first gathering at the apartment today. Anna and our mutual friend Kristin came over to play board games and drink wine. It was fun. A little hectic because I didn't think about snacks or anything until last minute. I made some Lil Smokies and laid out some cheese squares and candies. It was a hit! I only wish my living room was in order. I'd like a more comfortable setting. The dining room was nice but I wish we could have played in the living room with the TV on or something. I don't know. I have to start thinking about others. Next Thursday, we're headed to Kristin's house for the same affair. I have to bring something other than my Monopoly Office edition and raspberry cider (damn that was some good stuff). Anna made butter beer for Kristin and I as gifts this holiday season so we drank that as well. It's a great shame I didn't have vanilla ice cream to pour it over. It was fun being the host. I actually made my room look nicer to impress these slags and I hope to spend more time there now but that probably won't happen.

It is time to ensure that the girl child has increased awareness about her rights and privileges and the duties of her parents or guardians towards her.
Abhinav Mehrotra, Jindal Global Law School, O.P. Jindal Global University, Sonipat, Haryana.
The recent withdrawal by the Rajasthan government of the controversial child marriage clause that made it mandatory to register all marriages, including those of minors, raises questions about the manner in which the social menace of child marriage should be dealt with. This question assumes significance because despite having the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act that was enacted in 2006, child marriages continue to take place. Along with it are the adverse consequences concerning freedom of choice and opportunities and domestic violence. These have adverse health outcomes like high infant, child and maternal mortality rates.
Despite having by statute one of the highest minimum age requirements for legal marriage as compared to other countries such as the US where the minimum age is as low as 13 for girls and 14 for boys, child marriages continue to be widespread throughout India. Furthermore, the ambit of this practice is varied. It ranges from a temporary marriage whereby the man pays to marry a woman for a few hours or a few months; wife inheritance by which a woman can be forced to marry her brother-in-law after her husband has passed away and debt-rape or compensation marriage through which families settle tribal or inter-family disputes by giving a girl in marriage.
Such practices are also prevalent in other countries like Africa where young girls must endure female genital mutilation to establish their cleanliness before marriage and in the Middle East where a woman might be beaten or killed if she fails a virginity test on the day of the marriage.

DAV Brings Message of Support to Wings Over South Texas
Disabled American Veterans Flight Team to perform with B-25 and support veterans at NAS Kingsville's "Wings Over South Texas"
In the company of the iconic World War II era B-25 Mitchell Bomber, the DAV Flight Team will appear at Wings Over South Texas. The air show is one stop on a nationwide tour that aims to increase public awareness of disabled veterans and provide information about DAV programs and benefits. The B-25, which gained notoriety in the famed Doolittle Raid over Tokyo, Japan 71 years ago, shares a modern-day mission with DAV -- reminding people of the sacrifices veterans make for freedom. As brave men and women return from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, the DAV’s services and advocacy are as relevant today as at any time in the nation’s history.
“The DAV is thrilled to bring our message of volunteerism and support to our nation’s sick and disabled veterans to this air show. We believe the men, women and children who will visit this air show are the patriotic, military-friendly citizens that have helped make this nation so great,” said DAV National Commander Joseph W. Johnston. “The DAV is proud to be among this crowd, and meet those who want to know more about our service to veterans.”
Disabled American Veterans, representing more than 1.3 million disabled veterans, is a non-profit organization founded in 1920 and chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1932. It is dedicated to one, single purpose: Fulfilling our promises to the men and women who served.
For more information about Disabled American Veterans go to www.dav.org or follow the DAV Flight Team at www.facebook.com/

ASUS just launched a couple of new gaming laptops. But the most interesting one of them is the ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15.
It’s quite similar to the ZenBook Pro Duo from last year. But with the ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15, the secondary 13-inch secondary screen is tilted, which improves the viewing angles.
The main display is available in two flavors. Content creators can get the 4K UHD variant, with 100% Adobe RGB coverage. But for gamers, there’s an FHD panel with an ultra-fast 300Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time.
Lifting chassis is what the Zephyrus line is known for. As the second screen on the Zephyrus Duo lifts, more air are being sucked on the side, for better airflow.
Speaking of airflow, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 can be rigged with up to an Intel Core i9-10980HK CPU, NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super GPU, up to 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage.
Unlike most gaming laptops, ASUS also designed the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 to be sleek and lightweight — just like the older Zephyrus laptops before it. This thing is only 20.9mm thick and weighs 2.4kg.
The pricing and availability for the ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 are yet to be announced. In the meantime, you can check the full specs list below.

On the eve of the competitive Passover vacation season, Israeli hoteliers are hoping that a strong tourism showing in 2013 — a record 3.5 million tourists visited the Jewish state last year — will continue into the spring.
According to the Israel Ministry of Tourism, 3.54 million visitors came to Israel in 2013, 0.5 percent more than the previous record year of 2012. The largest percentage of tourists came from the U.S., with 623,000 visitors, which represents 18 percent of all incoming tourism, up 1 percent from 2012. Fifty-three percent of Israel’s incoming tourism came from Christian pilgrimages.
Jerusalem remained the top draw among tourists (75 percent of visitors came to the city). Tel Aviv-Jaffa was the second most visited city (64 percent).
The record number of foreign tourists also provided an economic boon for the hotel industry, as well as ancillary businesses including museums, shopping malls, coffee bars and boutique wineries. The tourism ministry said that visitors in 2013 pumped nearly $12 billion into the Israeli economy and provided work for 195,000 workers, or 6 percent of the country’s workforce.
Uzi Landau, Israel’s tourism minister, said in a statement, “2013 was a record year for tourism and we are proud of that. Despite ‘Operation Pillar of Defense’ (at the beginning of the year in Gaza) and the overall security situation in the region, tourists voted with their feet. The Tourism Ministry will continue to invest in maintaining the numbers of tourists arriving in Israel, by opening new markets and actively marketing the tourism product around the world.”
Rafi Baeri, vice president of sales and marketing for the Dan Hotel chain, told The Jewish Week, “2013 was a good year, despite the fact that we were influenced by events around us [Gaza, Egyptian political instability, Syrian civil war]. … From the initial indication of the first quarter of 2014 and demand for individuals and groups for later months, we see a marked increase in demand and interest from all the main feeder markets, especially from North America.”
Baeri said the hotel is currently running about 20 percent ahead of last year in terms of Passover reservations. The holiday falls in mid-April this year.
Despite the brisk sales for the forthcoming Pesach holiday vacation season, many major hotels that cater to audiences from the New York area are offering discounts. Among the hotels offering deals are:
◆ Dan Hotels (www.danhotels.com): At the luxurious Dan Tel Aviv, rates are valid from arrival date (April 13 or 14) for seven- night stays.

Upgrades to Deluxe rooms, as well as supplements for Deluxe and Executive Sea View Rooms, are available. Rates can be received via travel agents or can be found on the hotel’s website.
◆ Inbal Jerusalem Hotel (www.inbalhotel.com): The renowned hotel has been renovated from top to bottom, including the lobby and shopping arcade. The Inbal is the only luxury-class hotel in Jerusalem offering bike rentals as well as guided bike tours. Day and night time tours leave from the hotel on a daily basis. Pesach package options at the hotel include:
Seven nights (April 14-21). Double Occupancy, starting from $4990. Single, $3965/3rd in room, $1865; kids ages 3-12, $828 / 12-18, $1235/ two kids 3-12 in 2nd room, $4105.

◆ David Citadel Hotel (www.thedavidcitadel.com): Among the most popular Pesach venues in Jerusalem, the hotel now features Chef Itzik Mizrachi Barak, who has worked at several luxury Israeli hotels and elite restaurants abroad. He will be preparing the menus throughout the Pesach holiday. A special seven-night Pesach package, which includes six meals prepared by Chef Barak, starts from $5950 per couple in a Superior Room.
◆ Sheraton Tel Aviv Hotel (www.sheratontelaviv.com): The beautiful beachfront facility is highlighting two Passover promotions.

The new restaurant/bar — DECK115 — will be open for guests during Pesach.

Excerpts from comments on federal agent positions:
I majored in criminal justice (CJ), got a masters in management (agency sponsored on govt time, so keep your eyes and ears open since this type of opportunity is fleeting), and a PhD in CJ. I recommend that those just starting out major in psych and minor in CJ. I sat on special agent hiring panels for two agencies (NIS & Customs), and it is my impression that testing results (if used by the agency), college GPA, physical fitness, work experience, possibly a polygraph, graduate degrees, and especially the ability to communicate orally and in writing, are usually what determine who gets hired. And, I repeat, there are always more applicants than there are positions.
I attended Secret Service protective detail training and participated in a protection detail for the Commissioner of Customs for several months. Protection details require meticulous planning and execution for events that almost never happen, and they are boring (but you get into some interesting places). USSS protection details require frequent travel, making for poor family life. The investigative jurisdiction of the USSS is not all that intriguing (counterfeiting, computer crimes, financial crimes).
The FBI offers the opportunity to perform the widest variety of investigations, with the possibility of specializing in an area of interest, or working in an Embassy as a Legal Attaché. I was an acting Customs Attaché in Panama for about a month, and it is interesting if you like that sort of thing (zero authority, with successes derived from liaison with agencies of the country). The FBI has the largest number of agents (about 12,000) and I believe ICE is second (about 4,000).
For breadth and depth, and unlimited federal jurisdiction, the FBI cannot be beat (and may be the most difficult to get into, and should be the ultimate goal). The FBI has federal kidnapping and bank robbery jurisdiction, but other crimes against persons are only investigated at the request of the local agency.
I worked within the FBI structure for about 6 years, as the Customs coordinator for a Joint Drug Intelligence Group at the Houston FBI office, and had the opportunity to see them in action. They tended to be HQ oriented, with the case agent being more subservient to written regulations and HQ directions. Whereas, Customs was more oriented to case agent initiative (but ICE seemed to be going to the HQ directed route when I left). Yet, the FBI was the most backward in ability to share information, within and outside the agency. I have read recently that they have called their attempt to automate their report writing system a failure (something Customs had been doing well since the early 1980s). The FBI was also very concerned with compartmentalization, releasing information only on a need to know basis. The FBI has been well known as the prima donna of agencies, claiming credit for any success of any agency. As well as being famous for collecting information from every agency they contact, while being very reluctant to reciprocate. However, while assigned there, I had unlimited access, as did all those assigned there from other agencies.
ICE seems to be moving closer and closer to primarily immigration enforcement (something I never wanted to do). Immigration is a minefield of no-win situations (you wouldn’t believe the complexity/lunacy of immigration regulations enacted by Congress). But, it could be rewarding to free poor migrants held for ransom by people smugglers, round up fugitive aliens, and free women and children being exploited sexually. ICE still does money-laundering, child pornography, illegal export of weapons and technology, and participates in drug and terrorism investigations and task forces. There should always be importation fraud to investigate, unless Customs and Border Protection gets its own investigators, which I believe has already begun on a small scale (and would be a small loss in some ways since I can think of fewer investigations that are more boring, but could result in a smaller agency).
I got assigned to NIS (now NCIS) as a USMC officer special agent, then got hired. I left NIS in 1986, after 7 years, because of grade disparity (journeyman grade of GS-12 rather than GS-13, but I believe that has changed), and the frequency of transfers (to include over-seas transfers that I was not interested in). Also, NIS special agents were not considered federal agents legally (assault one and you could not be charged with assault on a federal officer, which may have changed). I liked NIS and got some good traveling in at government expense, and worked a wide range of cases (to include homicide). Unfortunately, many of those cases were not major felonies (here again, the FBI can assume responsibility for anything they want on any federal property). I did like the opportunity to conduct frequent interviews and interrogations, and look back on those efforts as some of the best wo

text: Last night another actor was injured during a performance of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, the Broadway musical with a $65 million price tag. Will this cycle of carnage never end? Well, if the opening date keeps getting pushed back and producers are going to get their money back, probably not. Or at least not until 2015, by which time all the city’s attractive, singing and dancing stunt doubles will be in body casts. Last night ArtsBeat reported that in the final minutes of a preview performance the actor playing Spider-Man, or his stunt double (of which there are several) was running along a bridge hanging above the stage to save dangling love interest Mary Jane when he seemed to trip, and fell some ten feet into the orchestra pit. The show was stopped, a delay was announced, and then the audience was told the show was over. The actor was reportedly taken to Bellevue Hospital Center, where a press rep said that “all signs were good.” Uh, yeah, sure.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, expressed concerns about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence at the World Government Summit in Dubai. He emphasized the need to address subtle societal misalignments that could lead to havoc rather than focusing on the more dramatic aspects, such as killer robots. Altman also called for a regulatory body similar to the International Atomic Energy Agency to oversee the rapidly advancing field of AI, and stated that the AI industry should not be solely responsible for creating regulations.
OpenAI, based in San Francisco, has received significant investment from Microsoft and has been at the forefront of the AI field. Altman addressed local concerns in the UAE, particularly regarding the country’s tight control over speech and allegations against a local AI firm for potential spying activities.
The discussion also highlighted the growing acceptance of AI in education, as teachers have shifted from fearing its use in student papers to embracing it as a crucial technology for the future. Altman acknowledged that AI is still in its early stages but expects significant advancements in the coming years.
Overall, the discussion at the World Government Summit raised important considerations about the potential risks and regulatory needs of the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.

T3: Test. Treat. Track initiative
On World Malaria Day 2012, WHO launched a new initiative called T3: Test. Treat. Track, urging malaria-endemic countries, donors and the global malaria community to scale up diagnostic testing, treatment and surveillance for malaria. This global initiative was developed to provide a framework for endemic countries to strengthen these three fundamental pillars of malaria control and elimination. T3 was launched by Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General, at an event in Windhoek, Namibia, hosted by Richard Kamwi, Minister of Health of Namibia.
T3: Test. Treat. Track. anchors the key policy messages of WHO’s recommendations on diagnostic testing, treatment and surveillance, i.e. that every suspected malaria case should be tested, every confirmed case should be treated with a quality-assured antimalarial medicine, and the disease should be tracked through a timely and accurate surveillance system.
Accurate diagnosis will significantly improve the quality of care and ensure that antimalarial medicines are used rationally and correctly. The scale-up of quality-assured antimalarials in the public and private sectors will ensure that all malaria patients receive prompt treatment. Improved surveillance for malaria cases and deaths will help ministries of health to determine which areas or population groups are most affected and help target resources to where they are most needed.
T3 has been built on a foundation of the following core WHO documents:

Dwayne Bravo, 38 years old, Confirm that he completed the international cricket match, But Gail is not ready to quit with his former captain. “This is an extraordinary career. I didn’t announce my retirement, but they actually gave me a game in Jamaica and made me perform well in front of the audience in my hometown, and then I can say,’Hey guys, thank you very much.’ Let’s see,” said Gail, who made his debut in this format in 2006.
“If not, I will announce it, and then I will join DJ Bravo backstage and thank everyone, but I can’t say it yet.”
West Indies captain Kieron Pollard lamented “the end of a generation”.

In 301 ODIs, he completed 10,480 runs, and will end his T20 career with 1,899 times and two centuries of results.
“I have been through a lot of struggles,” Gale said. “But my career is outstanding. I want to thank me for standing here today. I am still strong at 42. I shed blood, I shed tears in the West Indies cricket match, you can tell, one leg, one One hand.”
He added: “It’s really painful when we lose the game and we don’t get the result. I feel guts for the fans, especially this World Cup.”
Bravo confirmed that he withdrew from international competitions during his career. He scored 2,200 runs and 86 wickets in 40 test matches and brought him 2,968 runs and 199 wickets in ODI. . In the T20 International, he completed 1,245 runs and 78 wickets before Saturday’s game, where he only ran 10 times and did not appear wickets in his four matches.

The 2018 model of the Ford Mustang might not have the options of a V6 engine. It will however come with an automatic transmission of 10-speed as well as MagneRide suspension found in the recent Shelby GT350. The GT350 and GT350R will still be available keeping in mind the needs of those who desire a better-handling pony car.
Though no official news has arrived about the 2018 models yet, a member of Mustang6g.com has unearthed that certain new colours are about to emerge. This news is based on the digging done by the person in the Ford Motor Company dealership computer system to which the person has an access. It also has listed the 10-speed automatic as well as the MagneRide suspension setup and will be applicable for the EcoBoost as well as the GT Mustangs
Further, the person has reported that body codes for the present Ford Mustang powered by the V6 engine was deemed as invalid in case of the 2018 model. This has helped in shaping the idea that the V6 engine will become obsolete for 2018.
The employee further discovered that the the 10-speed automatic feature in the upcoming Ford Mustang will most probably available in both EcoBoost and GT trim. Thus the new gearbox will be beneficial to the turbocharged 2.3L 4-cylinder as well as the 5.0L V8.
The replacement of the present 6-speed automatic with the 10-speed will make the upcoming Mustang much better in terms of performance and should also increase accelerations for low end and mid-range variants.
MagneRide dampers play a major role in making the new Shelby GT350 and GT350R perform incredibly on roads. This feature will also be present in the 2018 Ford Mustang EcoBoost and GT.
The current Mustang has been an instant success for the American automaker. The facelifted Mustang 2018 will be unveiled sometime in 2017, and will eventually make their way globally by the second half of 2017.

Modifying cyanobacteria for better biofuel production
Micro-algal fuels might be one way to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, and they could reduce carbon dioxide emissions since they use photosynthesis. Sandia National Laboratories researcher has engineered two strains of cyanobacteria to produce free fatty acids, a precursor to liquid fuels, but she has also found that the process cuts the bacteria’s production potential.
Anne Ruffing, Truman Fellow at Sandia’s Bioenergy and Defense Technologies Department, studied the direct conversion of carbon dioxide into biofuels by photosynthetic organisms such as algae. Instead focusing on eukaryotic algae, the natural “oil”-producing photosynthetic microorganisms, she used performed her research on cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) since they are easier to genetically manipulate, and because cyanobacteria can be engineered to create a variety of target fuels.
Genetically engineered cyanobacteria excrete free fatty acid (FFA) and allow fuel to be collected without harvesting the cyanobacteria, since fuel from engineered cyanobacteria is excreted outside the cell, in contrast to eukaryotic algae which produce fuel inside the cell. That eliminates the need to grow a new batch of algae each time, saving on nitrogen and phosphate.
But current yields from engineered strains are too low for large-scale production. While other research efforts have focused on metabolic engineering strategies to boost production, Ruffing wants to identify what physiological effects limit cell growth and FFA synthesis.
“You can’t really hope to continue to engineer it to produce more of the fatty acids until you address these unforeseen effects”, said Ruffing. “As much as you want to do the applied side of things, creating the strain, you can’t get away from the fundamental biology that’s necessary in order to do that.”
The strains she engineered for FFA production show reduced photosynthetic yields, degradation of chlorophyll-a and changes in light-harvesting pigments. Ruffing saw some cell death and lower growth rates overall, and suspects that the toxicity of unsaturated FFA and changes in membrane composition are responsible.
She chose Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 and Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 as so-called model organisms since they have been studied for several decades and have established tools for gene manipulation. Aside model organisms, she’s performing biofuel toxicity screening on Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Ruffing is creating mutants by knocking out certain genes or introducing or overexpressing genes to see how that affects the cell and fatty acid production.
“It is possible that there’s a natural strain out there that could be a better option, so this is still pretty early research”, said Rufifng. “So I’m engineering the cell, then I’m trying to learn from the cell how to work with the cell to produce the fuel instead of trying to force it to produce something it doesn’t want to produce.”
For more information, read the article published in the journal Biotechnology and Bioengineering: “Physiological effects of free fatty acid production in genetically engineered Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942”.

For small plots such as the usual 50 x 100 ft or 1/8th acre plots, maisonettes are good in terms of reducing the horizontal spread hence freeing up the ground floor space to enable a lawn.
Assuming a 200m2 luxurious maisonette, the plinth area on the ground can be 60m2 then the building stretches upwards into 3 levels i.e ground floor, first floor and second floor.
Foot print reduction.
A 1/8th acre plot is roughly 450m2 . A 66m2 plinth area building will effectively free up 85% of the ground floor area for a landscaped lawn.
A 100m2 plinth area on ground floor building will use up to nearly 25% of ground space but will only go 2 levels up to make it to 200m2 in total plinth area built up space.
Positioning of the building.
The building should be positioned in such a way that it allows for a feeling of more space within the plot.
In Senegal, most residential buildings usually have a vertical orientation whereby you find a building with the bedrooms in the fourth floor. Now that land in Kenya is becoming scarce and the need to be environment conscious is increasing, we hope to see more of vertical oriented buildings as opposed to the current situations whereby we have bungalows and maisonettes with a foot print area of 100m2 and above.

MOSCOW, December 22. /TASS/. Russia’s State Duma has passed amendments to the draft law on the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB, former KGB), which empower the agency’s employees to take fingerprints of persons on the border who may be recruited to take part in terrorist activities. The document is considered in the second reading on Tuesday.
In particular, the FSB will be able to "receive, take into account, store, classify, use, dispense and destroy biometric personal data about the papillary pictures of fingers or palms of a person, which make it possible to establish his or her identity as part of the border control procedures with regard to persons crossing the Russian border, with the availability of signs pointing to the possibility of luring them into terrorist activities, recruiting or involving them in terrorist activities by other means," a new version of the draft law says.
The voting on it will take place after 17:00 Moscow Time.
The list of such signs and the procedure to obtain biometric data and processing genomic information will be determined by the FSB head.
"We are expanding the possibilities of the FSB," rapporteur on the bill and Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Security and Anti-Corruption Committee Ernest Valeyev told TASS. According to him, the Russian Federal Security Service does not have such powers now, "strictly speaking."
The lawmaker noted that the new regulations would also apply to Russians. "This stems from the emergence of additional threats embodied by ISIS (former name of the Islamic State terrorist group outlawed in Russia) and the involvement of a number of individuals in these groups and the subsequent penetration into the country," he said.
"The intelligence agencies have data on the persons who collaborate with terrorist groups, above all, ISIS. These persons’ biometric data will be collected when they cross the border," Valeyev said.

while i’d never be
of scaling mountains
of youthful hi-jinks,
there was a few times
where my skill
beyond a doubt,
by a well-timed
over a cyclone fence
in hot pursuit,
was damned near legendary
as i gaze out the door
at the cold and doubt
of this latest
the annoying aches
my leg, my knee
(i forget which),
some useless medication,
of those high-flying
good ole days
in a non-stop thrill
of steely-eyed dare
and the fence
that last fence,
i failed to clear
AND YET ANOTHER RESURRECTION...
It doesn’t matter.
Easter comes to everyone,
those who keep Lent,
and those who stagger into April
with Christmas still
reeking on their breath.
The dead Greeks, who believed in
inescapable Aphrodite, believed
that in silky spring her whisper’s
impossible to deny:
those who willingly follow
she leads gently
into her thorny dreams,
those who foolishly resist, discover
the nightmare of their
lives. Sweet or bitter
anarchy. The season’s
the same. Another new voice, a sudden
mouthful of rose petals, clothes
that won’t ever fit
until they’re torn to rags.
San Jose, California, 1987
Jesus, this is no place to bring blond
Protestants. None of your modern nuns with blue
bonnets and stylish stockings here. The two
lurking in the shadows behind the organ,
wrapped up like black widows of Christ and
smelling like paper, have the faces
of winter oaks. The priest must have been born
with that bushy eyed Slavic scowl. And even though
the wedding party’s dressed in white, pink and baby
blue and strolls up the aisle to Mendelssohn,
the ceremony still begins with the medieval ritual
of churchly guilt.
“Examine... repent... confess... Lamb
of God who takest away...
O Lord I am not worthy... Now and at the hour of
our death... “ Old men from the terrible old
country nod their heads, cross themselves,
and ask the inlaid floor for mercy.
Old women with vicious memories mutter their mea
culpas, but know it’s not their business to forgive.
Outside the open doors on the sunny lawn, the wedding
lamb relaxes on its spit, crackling tubs of ice
wait patiently for whiskey. The orchestra
makes whispery, testing noises under the ribboned trees.
A baby begins to wail in the corner.
The saucy two year old, three rows up, lifts her skirt
to show the boy behind her something interesting.
And the groom, his eye on the door, but as
serious as Jugoslavia, begins to read an excerpt from
Genesis to the congregation. He winces as if it were his
own rib God was taking. His nineteen year old, American
bride—eight months pregnant and worried she’ll
lose her water—also has to go to the pulpit.
She shyly works her way through St. Paul’s tongues
and angels, wants to giggle once but hides it
with a cough. Father Janos (he tolerates but
can hardly approve) takes charge again.
He quickly marries them and then the mass
begins. His mind is on sin, grief and wine.
He sermonizes on the feast at Cana: Jesus
rushed by his virgin mother into the wise world before
his time like any tragic draftee. Doing a light
hearted bit of magic to impress the crafty waiters,
but knowing—like a vague toothache—this
was going to lead to nowhere but pain.
The brown robed altar boy brings cruets as
large as table decanters. Father Janos waves
away the water and watches sternly while the gold
chalice is filled to the top with fortified altar wine.
In honor of the convert bride and the groom’s
great, adopted California home, the mass
is said in broken English rather than Latin.
Father Janos’ voice at the consecration is solemn.
“And knowing His hours were numbered, He asked
for his disciples to eat and for to drink with
Him one time more. He began to tear at bread—
Here, eat this, it is my flesh torn from my bones.
And later, after the meal, finishing wine-
This wine is my blood you are drinking.”
Father Janos raises the enormous chalice
to his lips with trembling hands.
His Adam’s apple dispatches the transubstantiated
wine like a machine gun.
All fourteen stations of the cross stare down with bloodshot
owl eyes on the trembling bride and groom. The dissolving
wafers stick to their tongues like glue. Their new rings
squeeze their knuckles. The bride’s about to faint,
the groom only knows he needs a drink. July’s invaded
the packed church and they’re sweating as much as the night
this all started with the fogged car windows shut
tight at the summer drive in.
And then the organ sets us free. The nasal Balkan voices
of the powerful nuns lead the congregation
in a processional whose words only the old country
initiates understand. Father Janos, still feeling his double
slug of consecrated wine hums along while he walks
with his arms around the captured couple.
His good day’s work accomplished he can already
taste cold beer. Christ, whose first miracle
was to make water into wine for man’s happiness,
has been ritually betrayed, crucified, and buried again.
But the warm wine in his belly (and the tiny
bride, holding her swollen belly out like a tabernacle)
remind the priest in a sudden Eucharistic revelation
that it wasn’t proud Peter, loyal John, or the perfect
Blessed Virgin—but sweet, slutty Magdalene,
who was first to be entrusted
with the news of the resurrection.
Without love, we’re nothing.

what happens to the scale

Michael O’Leary has warned that flight delays and cancellations at UK airports will continue “right throughout the summer”. The group chief executive of Ryanair blamed the British government’s Brexit policies for the disruptions.
In a nutshell
As airports in Ireland, Britain and further afield all suffer from staff shortages, O’Leary has warned passengers to brace themselves for a “less than satisfactory experience”.
Others have already warned that flight delays are expected to last throughout the summer season. Some airlines have already cancelled between 5 and 10 per cent of their UK flights.
"This problem is going to continue particularly at airports like Gatwick and Heathrow right throughout the summer. It will be worse at weekends and better during the week," Michael O'Leary told Sky News.

O’Leary laid the blame for delays at airports but noted there were problems across many facets of terminals from staff shortages to air traffic control to bagging handling to security.
Last weekend, 25 per cent of Ryanair’s flights were delayed by air traffic control issues in the UK, O’Leary said. A further 15 per cent of Ryanair’s flights were delayed due to hold ups at airport handling.
Brexit is also causing harm, according to O’Leary. The chief executive said that the disruption caused by Brexit means that airports were unable to hire workers from abroad to fill posts.
"There are hundreds of thousands of jobs in the UK that frankly British workers don't want to do. These problems will not be resolved until we start allowing people in to do the jobs," he said.
Last Saturday, passengers at Dublin Airport, would have seen one Irishman willing to “do the jobs”. The Ryanair boss was spotted supporting airport staff at boarding gates and security checkpoints.
Pictures of the chief executive were posted on social media as O’Leary worked with staff in Dublin’s Terminal One.

As I’ve written previously, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare had suspended recommending the cancer preventing HPV vaccine as a result of the worst statistical analysis ever. Of course, Japanese lawyers, looking for a quick yen, has sued the manufacturers of the HPV vaccine, despite the utter lack of evidence. Unfortunately, there is a growing body of evidence that the Japan HPV infection risk can be reduced after the reinstitution of the recommending Gardasil for young girls in the country.
In June 2013, the Japanese health ministry decided to withdraw it’s recommendation for the cancer preventing HPV vaccine because they noticed 176 adverse events. However, the health ministry admits that there probably isn’t a causal relationship between the vaccine and the events. Despite some claims on the internet, the health ministry did not ban the vaccine – anyone who wants the HPV vaccine in Japan may receive it.
A recent paper, published in Lancet Oncology, provided a risk calculation based on the the vaccination rates for female Japanese born between 1993 and 2008, which represents the group that would have had access to the vaccine. The researcher’s findings suggest that infection risk may be reduced if vaccination encouragement is resumed, and that the vaccine be target to include the groups that failed to get vaccines during the time that the vaccine was not recommended.
I know, I’ve written about this vaccine 100 times. So bear with me if you’ve read it. Or plough through if you don’t know about HPV and the vaccine.
Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the USA. There are more than 150 strains or subtypes of HPV sub-types that can infect humans. About 40 of these strains are linked to a variety of cancers.
Additionally, some HPV types can also infect the mouth and throat. HPV is generally transmitted from personal contact during vaginal, anal or oral sex.
Gardasil-9, the current version of the HPV cancer vaccine, protects teens and young adults from 9 subtypes of cancer-causing HPV, which leads to lower risks of more types of cancer.
Although the early symptoms of HPV infections aren’t serious, those infections are closely linked to many types of cancers in men and women. According to current medical research, here are some of the cancers that are linked to HPV:
These are all dangerous and disfiguring cancers that can be mostly prevented by the HPV cancer vaccine. If you’re a male, and you think that these are mostly female cancers, penile cancer can lead to amputation of your penis. Just think about that guys.
HPV is believed to cause nearly 5% of all new cancers across the world, making it almost as dangerous as tobacco with respect to cancer. According to the CDC, roughly 79 million Americans are infected with HPV–approximately 14 million Americans contract HPV every year. Most individuals don’t even know they have the infection until the onset of cancer. About 27,000 HPV-related cancers are diagnosed in the USA every year.
Let me make this simple. There are only a handful of ways to actually prevent cancer, and drinking a blueberry-kale-protein shake is not one of them. But Gardasil is.
Japan HPV infection risk study
In Japan, HPV vaccinations became available to girls aged 13-16 years with public aid from 2010. By April 2013, the vaccine became routine for those aged 12-16 years. However, after biased news media reports of adverse events after receiving the vaccine, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare suspended its recommendation (but again, it did not ban its availability) of the HPV vaccination.
The news reports plus the Ministry of health’s non-recommendation led to large differences in vaccination rates among different birth year groups. A research team calculated the HPV16/18 infection risk for Japanese females born between 1993 and 2008. Unfortunately, these powerful results show that risk of HPV16/18, which can cause cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and anal cancers, infection rises significantly with each year that the HPV vaccine recommendation is suspended.
Based on current data, the researchers made the following assumptions:
- HPV infection risk correlates closely to the rate of sexual intercourse in females who did not receive the HPV vaccine.
- During the HPV vaccine recommendation period (up to June 2013), girls and young women were vaccinated at the youngest recommended age, 12 years old.
- By 2010, the HPV vaccination rate exceeded 70%, much higher than we see in the USA today.
- After the suspension of recommendation in 2013, the vaccination rate among 12 and 13 year olds fell to 1% and 4%, respectively.
Using these statistics and assumption, the researchers showed that risk of HPV16/18 infection rises significantly with each year that vaccination encouragement is suspended. And let me one again remind the reader that human papillomavirus is causally linked to several dangerous and disfiguring cancers. This isn’t subject to some fake debate.
This study should provide the Japanese health ministry with important evidence to resume recommending Gardasil to protect its teens from cancer. This study also shows that it also encourage cancer preventing HPV vaccinations to those young women who didn’t receive the vaccine during the “non-recommendation” period (which has not technically ended).
The HPV vaccine prevents cancer. Since there remains little to no evidence that the vaccine causes any harm, and we have bountiful evidence that it prevents cancer, why is Japan still not recommending the vaccine? We all know why.

Marlon Byrd Fractures Wrist After Getting Hit By Pitch
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Marlon Byrd fractured his right wrist on Tuesday night when he got hit by a pitch in a 5-4 loss against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Byrd was hit by Sean O’Sullivan in the sixth inning, and he looked to be in severe pain when it first happened. Byrd was able to shake it off and run the bases, but he was replaced by Brennan Boesch in the bottom of the 7th inning.
Reds manager, Bryan Price, told ESPN reporters, “It’s a wrist fracture but right now we don’t know to what degree.”
This has some major implications for the Reds as a team. Currently the Reds stand fourth in the National League Central, and they are 11 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for first place. They currently seem too far behind to catch up, but it is only June. Crazier things have happened.
