This proposal aims to renew support for a Training Program in Epilepsy Research. The overall goal of the program is recruitment and training of a diverse group of outstanding neuroscientists who will gain (1) sophisticated and in depth knowledge of research germane to the neurobiology, co-morbidities and cure of human epilepsy;(2) cutting edge methods and innovative experimental approaches required for successful competitive contemporary research;(3) understanding and preparation for a diverse repertoire of career choices in epilepsy research. The Training Program in Epilepsy Research accomplishes these goals via individualized, committee-supervised research training in the labs of 14 well-funded and enthusiastic preceptors. The training experience is enriched by program-specific courses, seminars and symposia that draw in the UCI Neuroscience community and potential trainees. Our success to date in achieving our ambitious training goals derives from an outstanding pool of candidates, and from synergy with the UCI Epilepsy Research Center and the UCI Clinical Epilepsy Program, which interact to provide a multifaceted training experience. These assets are complemented by an open and interactive research atmosphere and abundant collaborations among program faculty. Our approach to Epilepsy as Window to Brain Plasticity promotes both basic and translational approaches to research on epilepsy and its cognitive and emotional co-morbidities. Given the trajectories of academic careers, tangible measures of success of our training approach are becoming evident as the Training Program in Epilepsy Research is in its 9th year. Nine of eleven (82%) program alumni are in academia, all assistant professors or equivalent and 5 in tenure track, including a woman from an underrepresented minority group. The 2/11 not in Academia is involved in neuroscience as managing editor, Nature publications and college level educator. The large majority of past trainees are involved in epilepsy research, and several past and present-cycle trainees have received their own NRSA or equivalent. Our goal for the coming years of the Program-one of only two Epilepsy-focused T32s in the U.S.- are to capitalize on our success and learn from trainee and faculty input to further enhance the training experience: (1) From our 2 pre-doctoral trainees (one a minority), we learnt the beneficial effects of pre-postdoc trainee interactions to both, and request that one of our 4 yearly trainees be a senior predoctoral student;(2) We aim to increase MD recruitment (currently 10%), and that of individuals from diverse backgrounds (12.5.%;higher than in the UCI graduate pool). (3) We aim to intensify career preparation and grant writing skills via integrative efforts with the new UCI CTSA. Thus, the Training Program in Epilepsy will build on its record of launching talented neuroscientists, including minority and women into sustainable academic careers, thus enhancing the future workforce in neuroscience research.
Epilepsy is the third most common chronic brain disorder, and the most common one that affects young people. We do not yet understand how epilepsy arises, and lack cure and therapies for many affected individuals. Curing epilepsy requires that outstanding research of its origins and its effects on the brain will be carried out by the brightet scientists now and in the future. This proposal aims to train, in the best possible way, the next generation of epilepsy researchers.

San Francisco police grapple with inexperience and leadership void
A year-long series of embarrassing police incidents here reads like a seriocomic rap sheet on the San Francisco Police Department. But it may be an example, however exaggerated, of the ferment the nation's law enforcement experts see in the police community. The affirmative-action and citizen-involvement reforms of the 1970s are taking hold, and a younger, less militaristic generation of police officers is settling in. And in some cases, the transition has been rough.Skip to next paragraph

San Francisco police chief Cornelius Murphy cites the youth factor and the unexpected results of reform as the tone-setting reasons for more than a half-dozen bad judgment calls here. Ethics breaches are the common thread among the otherwise unrelated incidents, the latest occurring when rifle-toting officers strayed onto an elementary school campus during a training exercise, apparently alarming some students.
Chief Murphy says low morale on the force is directly related to disputes over affirmative action that have created an unusually youthful patrol force and a leadership void. Because of promotions and hiring freezes caused by the affirmative-action problems, no one has been promoted since 1974, and the first new-hires came in the early 1980s.
``We're dealing with a different culture than 20 years ago,'' Murphy says of the recruits and the different tone that reform has brought to the law enforcement community.
``There are technically better police officers today than when I came out of the academy 33 years ago,'' Murphy continues. ``They know the law, the procedures . . . but they don't have better common sense or better discipline.''
Starting with the procurement of a prostitute for a police academy graduation party last year, incidents -- major and minor -- have snowballed into a series of embarrassing headlines here.
A handful of officers on duty near the site of last summer's Democratic National Convention used numerical display cards to rate the attractiveness of women pedestrians; plainclothed police serving a single warrant at a local bar ended up holding all customers at gunpoint; a newspaper columnist who had criticized the department in print was arrested for walking an unlicensed basset hound without a leash; and during the recent police training exercise at the elementary school, the two armed officers received permission to enter from the principal but not from their own supervisors.
Further, Murphy says, a litigious tangle of affirmative-action reforms has created a leadership void. The majority of sergeants now in place are in temporary situations and do not have the authority to become strong role models. In addition, there are disputes about how promotional tests should be scored.
``Imagine being in a position where there's no way to help yourself up the ladder . . . it's completely demoralizing,'' says patrolman Rick Bruce, a 10-year veteran who has not had an opportunity for promotion. But he says the recent ethics problems are related less to morale and more to media exaggerations of fact.
Chief Murphy sees in his young crop of officers many of the same things law enforcement authorities around the country are seeing: better-educated and freer-thinking recruits with little or no military experience and little respect for the rigors of that sort of discipline. Further, they represent a more diverse cross section of the community than ever before. Consequently, the new and old generations, if they're not flexible, can clash when their styles are not reconciled.

In Bashkortostan, the Dostoevsky Menu Gastronomic Dinner will be held by a member of the Public Council, Director of the club of like-minded restaurateurs BUffet Vitaly Baranovsky at the Persona Food restaurant. The event is supported by the Representation of the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly in the Republic of Bashkortostan (Russia).
The event is timed to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Russian writer, thinker, philosopher and publicist Fyodor Dostoevsky.
The gastronomic dinner will be based on the motives and recollections of loved ones and Dostoevsky himself. Fyodor Mikhailovich loved to eat tasty and good food, he loved Russian cuisine. On special days, he preferred wine and veal escalope for inspiration, and before sweets he could skip half glasses of cognac. And the writer’s wife Anna Grigorievna was a real restaurant observer; in her diaries she described their trips abroad in detail.
A gastronomic dinner will be accompanied by wines from the Philosopher wine boutique with the main participation of chefs: Azat Nizamutdinov, Dmitry Makarkin, Pavel Borozdin. Cavist: Farhat Akhunov. Partners: Persona Food, IE Kovalsky, Forma Truda, GREENBOX. Music at the evening will be performed by musician - saxophonist Nikita Poroshin and Dj Alber.
Also within the event, a copy of the famous painting by the French artist Claude Monet, who lived and created his masterpieces during the era of Fyodor Dostoevsky, will be presented in an auction for the first time.
Recall that the 200th anniversary of Fyodor Dostoevsky is widely celebrated all over the world since November 11. At UNESCO, the whole of 2021 is dedicated to the name of the Great Russian writer.
In connection with such a significant anniversary, supported by the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly, together with the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the UN Office in Geneva, a concert was organized in the building of the UN Office in Geneva as part of the cultural and social project "Dostoevsky and Music".

If I’ve learned anything from this week, it’s the Turks are a proud bunch.
They have every reason to be. The Turkish public is widely regarded as welcoming and kind-hearted, Istanbul is graced with many beautiful buildings from empires past and the national economy is booming in the face of wider European decline. As the weekend’s events indicate, this pride can manifest into a defence of fellow, persecuted Turks.
Having heard news via foreign media of police breaking up a sit-in protest in Taksim Square, I changed plans and made sure to avoid the immediate area around Taksim but continuing to Galata Tower and surrounding areas a few kilometres away. Little did I know people of Istanbul from all demographics would comes out in force to support a small group of tree-huggers to form the biggest Turkish protest in a decade.
I couldn’t even fathom the police response would be as brutal as the day before.
Entering the south end of Istiklal Street (Istanbul’s equivalent to Bourke Street Mall), chanting and clapping reverberated through the shopping district. Shop roller doors slammed shut as the crowd filled the street. On the other side of Taksim, more Istanbullers protested having marched from the Asian side.
Some came prepared for confrontation, donning hard-hats, goggles and gas masks. Others draped themselves in the nation’s flag. Most simply personified their support with their presence. While a lot were opposition parties’ supporters, a significant minority were political apathetic or fans of the ruling Justice and Development Party outraged at the police response the day before.
For a few hours, the protest continued peacefully. Police kept some aggressive protesters at bay with sweeping water cannons and no movement toward Taksim was made.
At 2 pm, police were given the directive to disperse the protesters as quickly as possible. Whom gave the order is a matter for the Turkish government investigation but there was no denying its brutal, aggressive application. In a matter of minutes, police vans fuelled their water cannons with tear-gas and relentlessly fired into the assembled crowd. As people frantically retreated, some police lobbed tear-gas cannisters deep into the crowd running downhill.
For an Australian, the scenes defied belief. Not only had an apparently secular government objected to kissing in public and restricted alcohol sales to night time, here was a police force going above and beyond its role to defend a public site and openly attacking its people.
The most uplifting scene however was that at the base of the hill. Protesters who had retreated to Galata Bridge were greeted with a chorus of car horns from those going about their normal Saturday duties. The message was that everyone appreciated the resistance.
Unlike in Australia where opposition thoughts are freely voiced through the media, the Turkish media largely ignored the events. The country’s main television station broadcast a cooking show as dozens of protests simultaneously rang out around the country.
Enough noise was made around Istanbul that police packed up and went home, the city’s grand square open to the public soon after 3 pm.
On Sunday, I returned to Istiklal Street to see the shopping district in its true glory. Clothes stores, restaurants and movie theatres reopened as tens of thousands celebrated on their way to a packed Taksim Square. Thousands of Turkish flags flew proudly and the crowd chanted for an government apology.
Whether an apology will eventuate is unknown. Turkish politicians typically never take a backward step and as Turkey’s most popular politician for 75 years, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has never needed to retreat.
One thing is for sure: of the unplanned but united political resistance this weekend, the Turks can be proud.


Tesla Q3 deliveries announcement kicked off a great day for the stock on Monday and now it seems a equity raise will arrive for the Silicon Valley-based auto company – just in the nick of time. Past equity raises have been watched but this one will be scrutinized largely due to the company’s multiple expansion projects: Model 3 tooling at Fremont, Gigafactory build-out, Model 3 battery production, Supercharger network expansion, and, yes, Tesla Service Centers.
The interesting question is whether additional service centers will be addressed by Musk in a Q3 follow up conference call or in the shareholder letter coming next month. Recalling statements made in the company’s Q1 shareholder letter, Tesla revealed the “plan to open more than 70 additional retail and service locations in 2016, to bring a total of nearly 300 locations.”
However, the service center wait times have been going up steadily according to discussions within the TMC message board. Commenter Troy has been tracking global service centers additions for Tesla, and accounts the addition of six new service centers, globally, since the beginning of 2016. More importantly, Troy identifies the number of service-centers-to-car-delivered. Tesla delivered 24,500 new cars in Q3 and opened 1 new service center globally, and the total number of Tesla vehicles to service centers in the U.S. is 1,522. Worldwide, there are 1,265 Teslas to every one service center.
In his post, Troy points out “the global Tesla fleet grew by 17.1% faster than the number of service centers in Q3 2016.” If you own a Tesla, most have felt wait times increase in 2016. Most readers know that service centers have been an organizational challenge for Tesla when it released the Model S, but Consumer Reports in 2015 ranked it tops among all car dealers.
“the global Tesla fleet grew by 17.1% faster than the number of service centers in Q3 2016.”
However, the next challenge is how fast Tesla can expand existing service centers and open new ones as the Model 3 rolls out in late 2017 or more likely 2018. And let’s not forget about the service-hungry Model X vehicles.
Teslarati documented construction for the new Tesla Service Center in Pittsburgh, but Model 3 rollout could be challenging for states like Michigan and Iowa. Eternal Tesla crank, Edward Niedermeyer, wrote how the Tesla love affair could go South with non-luxury owners as the Model 3 hits the mainstream. Niedermeyer points to how mid-level vehicles need to emphasize reliability.
True, but he misses on the love affair extending to mainstream consumers. Mainstream buyers will have patience but more service centers will be needed. And, the tide seems to be turning a bit in some states, such as Texas.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Tesla’s lobbying efforts may be paying off. An article in May reported that a “Tesla rep at the party’s state convention argued that repeal of franchise law amounted to a truer free market system. And the party agreed, adding a Tesla-friendly plank to its 2016 platform.” So, it looks like 2017 could see Tesla exemptions getting out of legislative committees in Texas. We’ll see.
It should be interesting to see how this plays out, considering the integration of SolarCity into the fold. Can Tesla and Musk keep its customer-centric focus?

The RTP of a slot machine is its long-term payout percentage to players. Understanding the difference between the house edge, RTP, and volatility, as well as learning how to identify slots with high RTP, is essential knowledge for any slot player. Keep reading and you’ll find a breakdown of all these key ideas.
Impact of Return to Player on Slots
The idea of RTP is more intuitive throughout the course of a very long session (millions of spins). Anything might happen in a single session of play, increasing the odds that you will either win more than expected or lose more than you would want.
Does that mean you can ignore RTP for a little while and still have fun? Let’s look at an example to see how this works out. Compare the RTPs of two slots, 88% and 95%, respectively. The slot with a 95% RTP percentage may be preferable than the slot with an 88% RTP percentage since it returns more money to the player.
Games with the Highest Return to Player Percentages
Online slot machines with higher return to player percentages typically pay out more over the long run. This implies that even in the base game, gamers of such slots regularly walk away with respectable prizes. It also suggests that gamblers seeking the biggest possible payouts would avoid the slot machines with the greatest theoretical payback percentages. Why? In the following part, we’ll figure this out.
Let’s start with a review of five high-payout slot machines.
Almost all Mega Joker (NetEnt)
Practical Play) The Catfather (98.1%)
98% on Rainbow Riches by Barcrest
98.33% on Starmania by NextGen Gaming
97.4 percent on Big Bad Wolf (Quickspin)
Worst Payout Slot Machines
Slots with a low return to player percentage rarely award players. much of games do not have particularly lucrative base game wins, and instead focus much of their winning potential on special bonus features. Many of them are progressive jackpot slots, with the capacity to pay out huge sums of money, like Mega Moolah.
Here are 5 slot machines that have a poor return to player percentage:
50-line X-Men (Playtech) 92 percent
Microgaming’s Mega Moolah and Book of Atem Wowpot both scored 88%, while Belatra Games’ Jingle Bells scored 89%, and Betsoft’s Enchanted scored 89%.
House Edge vs. Return on Investment
Slot machine payouts and the “House Edge” are two different things. A slot machine with a 15% house edge, for instance, pays out 85% of the time and keeps 15% on average. This indicates that the slot machine’s RTP is 85%. However, as was previously discussed, RTP only makes sense in the long run.
This demonstrates beyond any reasonable doubt that players will never win back more money from a slot machine than they put in. The ‘house edge’ or ‘house advantage’ refers to the inherent advantage that the casino has over the player in a game of slots.
Slot players generally benefit from a lesser house advantage and a higher RTP. If you’re a player who wants to maximize your wins, you should factor in both the return to player and the house edge.
Return to Player and Slot Volatility: Distinguishing Between Them
The return-to-player percentage of a slot machine is achieved by the game’s volatility. Take two 96% RTP slot machines, one with high volatility and the other with low. High-volatility games have a low hit frequency, which means they give out fewer but larger payouts when a player does win. These could drain your funds in a matter of spins.
A low volatility slot machine with a 96% return to player rate will have a high hit frequency and award small, regular wins in the base game. For these, even if you fail to trigger the slot machine’s bonus features, you’ll still win a little amount of money, and you might not even lose your full wager. With the same amount of money, you can enjoy more turns.
Methods for Locating Games Offering a High Return to Player
The theoretical payout percentage for a slot machine is always displayed in the paytable or the game’s regulations. Keep in mind that the return to player (RTP) of a slot game in the demo mode may differ from the RTP while playing for real money.
Slot machines with a high theoretical return to player percentage may be listed at some online casinos. You may find slot games with high RTPs on a variety of reputable websites, and then pick the one with the theme you like best. It is highly recommended that you try out some free slot machine games before you spend any real money.
Always be sure you’re comparing like things. Keep in mind that the return to player (RTP) of a progressive jackpot game is not the same as that of a regular game. This is due to the lower return to player (RTP) and hit frequency for base game wins in a jackpot game. You can choose between high-volatility slots with low hit frequency and low-volatility slots with high RTP. You have certain options depending on the size of your starting bankroll.
What Does the RTP in Slots Mean?
How much do slot machines typically pay back to the house on average?
In most online casinos, the RTP for slot machines is over 96%. Slots with RTPs below 96% are regarded poor, while those with RTPs above 100% are considered good.
When referring to slot machines, what does RTP actually mean?
The term “Return to Player Percentage” (RTP) refers to the proportion of money wagered that a slot machine will eventually pay back to the player. It’s only after millions of spins that a slot machine with a 97% RTP makes sense, returning $97 for every $100 wagered.
Can internet casinos alter return to player rates?
RTP rates are not subject to manipulation by online casinos. The slot machines are powered by random number generators provided by the software creators. These games are hosted by the supplier and cannot be modified by the casino.

(January 6, 2010) Public Radio reporter Dan Bobkoff talks in depth with CEO Jeff Baldassari about how Taylor Companies has reduced its costs by $20,000 through waste reduction and $80,000 through energy conservation efforts.
Taylor Companies was the first company in Ohio to become Certified Green Plus. In 2004, Taylor Companies, the oldest US manufacturing company, also set out to clean up a brownfield in Bedford, Ohio. Brownfields are areas of land previously used for industrial or commercials purposes which have been contaminated by pollutants, chemicals, or hazardous materials.
After spending nearly 6 million dollars on the clean up, Taylor Companies has a new facility and has made an environmental, social, and economic difference in Northeast Ohio.

IBERDROLA has revealed that it is spending a total of €2 million on improving the electricity cable network in Torrevieja on Spain’s Costa Blanca.
The city council’s Councillor Sandra Sanchez met with Iberdrola representatives Guillermo Raga, David Rubio and Jorge Castejón, who said that in the period 2018-19 an investment exceeding €1.4 million was made in the city. This was spent mainly on the renovation and laying of new underground power lines and the digitisation and improvement of the medium voltage network.
The company says it now has planned an investment of close to another €2 million, half of which is already being processed or executed. In addition to this spending on the cable network, the company has invested €6.5 million in the city’s transformer substation.
It now plans to devote another €1.7 million to equip the substation with a new electrical transformer with the ability to output 10 other medium voltage lines that will result in a more reliable electricity supply.
Iberdrola has more than 127,000 customers in Torrevieja, serving them through its 414 transformation centres, its 310 kilometres of medium voltage lines and more than 850 kilometres of low voltage lines.

A woman is highlighting the problem with heavily edited posts on social media by sharing a video in which she changes her appearance with social media filters.
Emily Clarkson, daughter of TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson, often highlights on Instagram how dangerous filters can be to body confidence.
And we have to applaud the honesty.
This week has been no different, as her most recent posts, the self-love advocate shared a video perfectly illustrating just how easily people can change up their reality in the images and videos they chose to share on the internet.
The video might leave you blinking in confusion as even Emily’s hair colour changes in the transition.
She wrote in her caption:
YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF HOW WARPED YOUR INSTAGRAM REALITY IS.
The skin that you see has been smoothed. The lines buffed out. The blemishes eradicated. The eyes are brightened. The tones are softer. Some bits are smaller. Others are bigger. There are not just a “couple of filters” out there that you gotta keep your eyes peeled for.
There are a PLETHORA of apps out there and they’re doing everything you can think of and more. And the worst thing about that is, you have NO idea who is using what to do what.
Whilst I will never blame an individual for editing themselves (most people are driven to it out of insecurity) we do need to address the behaviour of some of the people that we look up to on these apps. Because the fact that people can entirely alter their reality AND NOT EVEN NOT TO DECLARE IT will be causing more issues then any of us perhaps realise.
We are comparing ourselves to people that simply DO NOT EXIST. I look at these edited photos of myself and I barely know the person, and yet... it’s ‘me’- just the “Hollywood” version available in some app. How am I meant to then be ok then with the person I see in the mirror... if she doesn’t look anything like the reflection I’ve curated for myself online?
In the long run, no one wins with these apps. The external validation the altered images receive in the shape of Instagram likes will not be worth it to the individual who cannot compete with their online persona. And the consumers will never be happy if they are perpetually comparing themselves to people that literally don’t exist. I know I’m banging on about this. But so long as the apps are relentless, so must we be.
Clarkson has raised some seriously important points and has said in the past that she hopes in making these videos she might encourage social media users to question the ‘reality’ of what they see. As a result, maybe they'll stop comparing themselves to often unachievable visions of beauty.
In conclusion: don’t believe everything that is posted online. It's an impossible task to compare yourself with others.

The turbulent wake of a finite circular cylinder mounted normal to a wall and partially immersed in a turbulent boundary layer was studied experimentally using two-component thermal anemometry in a low-speed wind tunnel. Four circular cylinders of aspect ratios AR=9, 7, 5, and 3 were tested at a Reynolds number of ReD= 6 × 1 04. The cylinders were either completely or partially immersed in the wall boundary layer, where the boundary layer thickness relative to the cylinder diameter was δ / D = 3.0. A similar turbulent wake structure (mean velocity, turbulence intensity, and Reynolds shear stress distributions) was found for cylinders of AR=9, 7, and 5, while a distinctly different turbulent wake structure was found for the cylinder of AR=3. This was consistent with the results of a previous study that focused on the time-averaged streamwise vortex structures in the wake. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

With the 2008 US presidential campaign already in full swing, here's a cautionary tale of e-voting gone wrong.
A California court has "nullified" the results of a disputed electronic ballot
, conducted in 2004, because the loss of most electronic records mean a recount is impossible. Electronic voting results have been challenged before, but this is probably the first time a court has told a jurisdiction to go back and redo an election.
At issue is a voter initiative in Berkeley, California, covering the distribution of medical marijuana. The initiative lost the 2004 count by 191 ballots. But some voters, and an advocacy group called Americans for Free Access, demanded a recount and eventually paid $22,600 to cover the costs.
County officials refused to provide all the information they sought, however, and before the issue could be fully resolved, they shipped the voting machines back to the supplier, Diebold
. By the time the machines were located in a Diebold warehouse, most had been reset, destroying 96% of the original voting data, making it impossible to hold a recount or to check voter complaints of machine malfunction. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
helped analyse the little remaining data.
On Thursday, the Superior Court of California for Alameda County
posted a "tentative" ruling on the suit by Judge Winifred Y. Smith. This tells the county to scrap the original result and hold a new election.
The decision was immediately praised by EFF and by VoteTrustUSA
, a national coalition of local advocacy groups. This being the US, the county officials could appeal, triggering further delays. But, in the meantime, the clock is ticking toward the next round of national elections in November 2008, and a host of e-voting issues remain to be resolved.Jeff Hecht, New Scientist contributor


In general the software on most cameras does not support this, but in theory it is definitely possible. The camera could directly encrypt the image with a public key and since it can only be decrypted with the private key, that could be held only by whoever needs to verify the images. For more details on what is meant by public and private keys, look up RSA Encryption and/or read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography for a general overview.
People that hacked the NX300 firmware were able to get very close to this (only downside was that the image was still being written to the card once before being encrypted and deleted, a deeper knowledge of the firmware could change avoid the initial write).
I am not aware of any commercial camera supporting a feature like this from the factory.
If the image is still meant to be viewable, then invisible sorts of signatures can be used (look up "steganography"), but in general these can still be manipulated. Some forms might be altered by manipulation, so there is some potential to detect inauthentic versions.
Itai's answer does mention an attempt at verification that Canon and Nikon made, but doesn't go into the details, and neither did the links. In the case of Nikon:
"ElcomSoft research shows that image metadata and image data are processed independently with a SHA-1 hash function. There are two 160-bit hash values produced, which are later encrypted with a secret (private) key by using an asymmetric RSA-1024 algorithm to create a digital signature. Two 1024-bit (128-byte) signatures are stored in EXIF MakerNote tag 0x0097 (Color Balance).
During validation, Nikon Image Authentication Software calculates two SHA-1 hashes from the same data, and uses the public key to verify the signature by decrypting stored values and comparing the result with newly calculated hash values.
The ultimate vulnerability is that the private (should-be-secret) cryptographic key is handled inappropriately, and can be extracted from camera. After obtaining the private key, it is possible to generate a digital signature value for any image, thus forging the Image Authentication System." -- https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2011/04/nikon-image-authentication-system-compromised/
So they commit the cardinal sin of cryptography, the private key really should not be on the camera, or if it is, it needs to itself be encrypted in a way that prevents extraction. This is of course quite difficult, and the private keys should probably be created/distributed by a channel completely independent of the camera. The method above for the NX300 would only require the public key to be on the camera, but has it's own downsides, like not having previews on camera (the image is encrypted and with no private key it can't be decrypted on the camera). Of course the camera could keep both the encrypted and never-encrypted version, in which case the never-encrypted one can be considered a sort of preview of the official authentic image, which is strictly speaking never seen until authenticated by decryption with the private key.
In the court case scenario this would mean that these private keys would need to be held by the courts, not be those taking the photos or that might deal with them along the way. In the case of photojournalism the private keys could be held by the editors or by independent regulatory bodies. From a marketing standpoint these are a bit difficult to set up, since these individuals and institutions would need to learn how to create private/public key pairs and to distribute the public keys and how people are meant to load the public key to their camera, and people would need to be storing a bunch of encrypted photos they're never going to see as 'just in case' evidence. In the IT space this sort of thing is common enough though, e.g. there are many tutorials on setting up these kinds of keys for SSH.
Edit1: Changed to not say the private key is used on the camera, I think it is not but is just stored there.
Edit2: The hashing approach they use is space saving, but even without the private key it may be possible to make edits to the photo that conform with the hashes in some constrained way.

Recently Dr Henry Morgentaler was awarded the Order of Canada, which is the highest civilian honor Canada awards, recognizing “a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation.”
Today I read an editorial in The Calgary Herald titled Morgentaler deserves Order of Canada by Catherine Ford, ostensibly about the award, but in practice a summary defense of abortion. Let’s examine her arguments to see whether they make sense.
(Click below for my commentary; it’s a bit long to put on the blog’s front page)
For [ensuring the rights of Canadian women to safe and legal abortions] alone — for the right of all women to be regarded as capable of making a decision whether to bear children — Morgentaler not only merits the Order of Canada, he deserves whatever accolades Canadian women can bestow upon him.
The weasel-wording of the underlined portion obscures that abortion has nothing to do with “the right of all women to be regarded as capable of making a decision whether to bear children.” Certainly both sides of the issue agree that women should have the right to choose whether they will “bear children.” A woman certainly should choose whether they become pregnant or not; we are talking here however about abortion.
We owe him our gratitude for his unswerving commitment to the cause of women’s health.
Except, of course, for the health of all of the would-be women who were aborted. Death is usually considered less healthy than life.
Few other men have fought so vigorously and so single-mindedly for so long on a principle.
I hope that this statement is referring to the pro-choice abortion issue only, because as a blanket statement about the male gender it is either profoundly prejudiced or shockingly ignorant.
That principle is simple: All women should have the right of control over their own bodies.
I agree 100%. Women should have control over their own bodies. Again, few, if any, would disagree. And again the real question is obfuscated: Is the unborn merely a part of the woman’s body, like a hand or a lung?
This puts the burden of responsibility — the consequences of any decision — squarely on a woman’s shoulders. That is where it belongs. It is her responsibility to make the decisions about reproduction.
I agree that, in one sense, the consequences of the decision fall “squarely on a woman’s shoulders.” That’s the nature of ethical decisions. But all of our laws are based upon ethics; stealing is against the law because it is wrong to steal.
In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the existing law on abortion, ruling it unconstitutional. Madam Justice Bertha Wilson said a woman’s decision to have an abortion “deeply reflects the way the woman thinks about herself and her relationship to others and to society at large. It is not just a medical decision; it is a profound social and ethical one as well.“
I’m glad that we recognize that the issue of abortion is multifaceted; it is not just a logical conundrum, it is also a social and ethical issue.
It is also, she wrote, almost impossible for a man to contemplate the dilemma of a pregnant woman thinking about abortion. Pregnancy remains outside any man’s personal experience and, wrote Wilson, “he can relate to it only by objectifying it, thereby eliminating the subjective elements of the female psyche, which are at the heart of the dilemma.”
While recognizing that it is impossible for a man to truly emphasize with a woman regarding the emotional issues involved with pregnancy, the insinuation that a man can then have no voice regarding such issues is a non-sequitur. Clearly according to the author of the article a man can have a right view on abortion, since she agrees with Dr Morgentaler and applauds him for his view. Dismissal of a viewpoint based on its source (the genetic fallacy) is prejudiced, unfair, and unhelpful.
Those who do not approve or condone abortion are free not to have one. What they are not free to do is insist, because of their personal beliefs, abortion should not be available for a variety of reasons.
Let’s do a simple search-and-replace on these statements: Those who do not approve or condone murder are free not to murder anyone. What they are not free to do is insist, because of their personal beliefs, murder should not be available for a variety of reasons. Do you see why this sort of argument doesn’t work? Pro-life advocates do not argue that since they have a personal feeling that abortion is wrong “for them” that everyone else should change their own personal beliefs to cohere with theirs. The argument is that abortion is objectively wrong for everyone.
There are always a variety of reasons. Abortion for rape or incest might be permitted.
First we should note that, in any ethical issue (as the author has admitted the abortion issue is) there will be hard cases that are difficult to decide. However, the existence of such potentially morally ambiguous cases should not prevent us from deciding a general rule in the vast majority of cases. (Approximately 1% women cite rape as a reason for having an abortion, while less than 0.5% cite incest.) Moreover, the fact that certain unborn children may be unwanted (perhaps even for valid reasons) should not be enough to take their lives; the homeless or sick are often unwanted and burdens, but does that give us the right to take their lives?
But perhaps the author of the article is merely arguing for abortion in these few difficult cases like rape and incest?
One abortion — everyone should be allowed one “mistake” — could be considered acceptable.
Apparently not. Everyone should get one “oopsie”. Not only is this sort of attitude entirely cavalier towards the emotional issues involved with having an abortion (including all of the studies that have shown the extreme emotional distress often suffered by women who have abortions) but also demonstrates that she is arguing for abortion on demand regardless of the reasons why a woman wants to have one. Why then bring up the issue of rape and incest?
It is an absolute within the bounds of standard medical practice, as set by the College of Physicians and Surgeons in each province.
I’m not exactly sure what this ambiguous statement means. Medically, there is little debate that life begins at conception, as Dr Landrum Shettles, the first scientist who successfully achieved conception in a test tube, notes that conception not only confers but “defines” life. The unborn is, in fact, genetically distinct from its parents and is a separate human entity. (It has human parents after all so it is thus human.) I’m not sure it’s within the bounds of standard medical practice to kill human beings that we don’t particularly like.
He ensured our right and, indeed, our privilege, to make up our own minds about pregnancy — to be unfettered by the opinions of others or the pressures of society.
This merely assumes what the author is trying to argue for, as we saw earlier. Perhaps the argument would go something like this:
1) Women should have the right to make up their own minds about their bodies.
2) The unborn is a part of a woman’s body.
3) Therefore, women should have the right to do what they wish with the unborn.
Well, 1) is not in dispute, as I have no interest in telling women what they can or can’t do with their bodies. It is 2) that I take issue with. It is the unproved and undefended assertion by this author which flies in the face of logic and medical evidence.
Obviously, his detractors are legion. They include men who rail at the notion women alone should be permitted to decided [sic] whether to bear a child or not.
Silly weasel-wording and straw-man construction (no pun intended). As above, few, if any, men would take such a view. The issue is not a woman’s choice whether or not to become pregnant, the issue is what is ethical once they are pregnant.
They include a host of religions and their acolytes who demand unswerving obedience to a set of man-made rules.
I hope that the careful reader will notice that I have not made any appeal to religious doctrine during my discussion of abortion. (More on this in a moment.)
They also include women who, for whatever reason, believe their lives should be ruled by chance, happenstance and blind obedience.
Another straw-[wo]man argument. Pro-life advocates who are female are branded illogical nincompoops.
So be it. That is exactly what choice entails. Every Canadian woman can now say proudly, “My life, my body, my decisions.”
And again, the author loudly and proudly entirely misses the point. The entire editorial contained no justification for the view being presented, merely statement and restatement of the view and its fundamental underpinnings without any rational argument.
I will say that it can be easy to miss the point with a controversial issue like this one, especially when reason can quickly become clouded or overwrought with emotional issues. But all of the abortion questions can be reduced to just one: What is the unborn? As Greg Koukl says: “If the unborn are not human, no justification for elective abortion is necessary. But if the unborn are human, no justification for elective abortion is adequate.”
The best (short) online resource on this question is Dr William Lane Craig’s writing here, which is not, as Ms Ford might expect, based on religious reasoning:
Please read and carefully consider the argument Dr Craig above. This is not merely an academic question, one where learned individuals sit around stroking their beards, smoking their pipes and waxing philosophically on their easy-chairs. As I’ve posted previously there are over one million abortions performed every month. If abortion really does, as pro-life advocates claim, kill human beings, that is one million morally reprehensible deaths each month.

South Florida Students Departing Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport for Mission Work in Ghana, Africa
On July 19, 2011 seven students from Broward and Dade Counties will be departing from the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International airport (FLL) headed to Ghana, Africa to help improve the lives of the people in the rural village of Agogo (Ft. Lauderdale’s Sister City). Media opportunity is at 3 p.m.
The HONEY Project which stands for Helping Our Nations Empowering Youth was launched in 2006 to provide positive opportunities for young people ages 15-24; while addressing the issues of poverty relief, sustainable development and youth empowerment. Its mission is to inspire, equip and empower young people to impact the world through social enterprise.
The students departing from FLL were invited to participate in the HONEY Project xChange and its goal towards promoting and encouraging trade and investment opportunities for young people between developed and emerging nations. Upon their arrival in Ghana, the students will perform a comprehensive community assessment to determine the needs of the village. Empowerment workshops with local youth utilizing the internet will be conducted and they will also help build bee hives with the subsistent farmers and the Agogo Cooperative. In addition, they will also address the issue of de-forestation by planting trees with partner organization One Village Planet.
After their visit and return home, each student will submit a project proposal that identifies the next sustainable project that will be implemented in the village to provide continued support to the Agogo Cooperative. “HONEY Project xChange missions allow students to conduct on the ground case studies in social entrepreneurship and provides them with a life-changing experience. Each student will pursue practical and hands on experience in global business development and sustainability,” explained Founder and CEO Nathan Burrell.
Meet and Greet
The seven xChange Agents will be available for interviews and pictures on Tuesday July 19 from 3:00-4:00 pm, Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport Delta Terminal 2 on the 1st floor baggage claim area. There will be copies of hi-res pictures and videos from the inaugural xChange trip in 2009.
The 2011 HONEY Project xChange trip was underwritten by Citrix Systems Inc., Carlisle Development Group, BankAtlantic, Jack & Jill Foundation, Greater Ft. Lauderdale Sister Cities, and individual donors.

Although there has been a small rally in the bond market in recent weeks, distressed debt in emerging markets remains a serious weak spot in a global economy preparing for recession.
Governments in developing countries need to refinance $215 billion of debt coming due in the next two years.
But many can no longer borrow. Among those most exposed to distressed debt are asset managers such as Allianz SE, BlackRock Inc and Fidelity Investments.
“We expect the borrowing conditions for emerging markets to stay difficult and rates to remain high,” said Guillermo Osses, head of emerging-market debt strategies at hedge fund manager Man GLG, which has run the best performing EM fund this year.
“Around 15 countries have sovereign bonds trading at distressed levels, and there is no option for them to refinance the current level of debts at these rates. They will have to either go to
the IMF, devalue their currencies or restructure the debt.”
Along with dozens of other developing countries Ghana benefited from a debt-relief initiative run by the IMF and World Bank in the early 2000s, which wiped about $4 billion off its debt stock by 2006. That shift from mostly concessional funding before 2007 to largely commercial borrowing afterwards was transformational for Ghana, says Bright Simons, an analyst at the Accra-based think tank Imani Centre for Policy and Education.
“This new source of funding was completely different from what we’d experienced in the past — this money was going directly to the budget like a steroid injection straight into
the bloodstream,” said Simons.
The cathedral “is the perfect example of the spending spree: Ghana behaving like a fabulously
rich sultanate in the Gulf rather than a developing country just attaining frontier market status.” Erasing the ‘stigma of default’ Ghana spent years pitching itself as a business-friendly country that offered political stability, and a place for foreign investors to make outsized returns that they would easily be able to repatriate.
Foreign Direct Investment soared to nearly $4 billion in 2019, regularly outstripping neighboring
Nigeria, which has an economy over five times larger.
But, as Simons notes, Ghana’s FDI-stock-to-GDP ratio of nearly 80% — compared with a continental average of around 25% — makes it “highly vulnerable to global shifts in sentiment.”
Those shifts have caused domestic problems for President Nana Akufo-Addo. Store closures and street protests over the cost-of-living crisis have sprung up around the country.
And the majority of his own ruling party has called for the resignation of Ken Ofori-Atta, the finance minister, who faces a censure motion from parliament over his management of the economy, including spending on the cathedral.
The beginning of commercial oil production in 2010 helped shape Ghana’s economic ascent, but stresses in the system have become more apparent. Crude production figures have never matched government projections — it sits at under 200,000 barrels per day, less than half of earlier predictions — and investment in the sector has slowed in recent years.
Along with the impact of the pandemic and the Ukraine war on the economy the government and opposition largely blame each other’s overspending for the crisis that the country finds itself in. Some current ministers point to a slew of lucrative take- or-pay power contracts awarded by the previous government between 2013 and 2015.
Designed to solve a short-term electricity crisis, the deals resulted in private producers setting up plants that can supply 4,600 megawatts, nearly double national peak demand of 2,700 megawatts — leaving the country paying $500 million a year for power it does not use and cannot store.
Debt owed to fuel suppliers and the power companies could reach $12.5 billion by 2023.

If a waterbody is contaminated with a toxicant it's biomagnification will be more marked in (a) water (b) plankton's (c) small fishes (d) birds
Biomagnification means when the concentration of a substance is increased beyond its optimal concentration. Biomagnification in light of pesticides refers to the moving of pesticides up to the food chain. When a fish have been contaminated water rich in pesticides then these pesticides will accumulate in the tissues and organs of these fishes. The fishes are then eaten up by birds concentration of pesticides will occur up in the food chain. Therefore, option (d) is correct.
