Mepolizumab injection is used along with other medications to prevent wheezing, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and coughing caused by asthma in certain children 6 years of age and older and adults whose asthma is not controlled with their current asthma medication(s). It is also used to treat eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA; a condition that involves asthma, high levels of white blood cells, and blood vessel swelling) in adults. Mepolizumab injection is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by blocking the action of a certain natural substance in the body that causes the symptoms of asthma.
Mepolizumab injection comes as a prefilled syringe, a prefilled autoinjector, or as a powder to be mixed with water and injected subcutaneously (just under the skin). It is usually given once every 4 weeks. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use mepolizumab injection exactly as directed. Do not inject more or less of it or inject it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will determine the length of your treatment based on your condition and how well you respond to the medication.
You may receive your first dose of mepolizumab injection in your doctor's office. After that, your doctor may allow you or a caregiver to give the injections at home. Before you use mepolizumab injection yourself the first time, read the manufacturer's information for the patient that comes with the medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to show you or the person who will be giving the medication how to inject it.
Use each syringe or autoinjector only once and inject all of the solution in the syringe or autoinjector. Dispose of used syringes or autoinjectors in a puncture-resistant container. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about how to dispose of the puncture-resistant container.
Remove the prefilled syringe or autoinjector from the refrigerator. Place it on a flat surface without removing the needle cap and allow it to warm to room temperature for 30 minutes (no longer than 8 hours) before you are ready to inject the medication. Do not try to warm the medication by heating it in a microwave, placing it in hot water, leaving it in sunlight, or through any other method.
Do not shake a syringe that contains mepolizumab.
If you are using mepolizumab and have asthma, continue to take or use all other medications that your doctor has prescribed to treat your asthma. Do not decrease your dose of any other asthma medication or stop taking any other medication that has been prescribed by your doctor unless your doctor tells you to do so. Your doctor may want to decrease the doses of your other medications gradually.
Always look at mepolizumab solution before injecting it. Check that the expiration date has not passed and that the liquid is clear and colorless or slightly yellow to slightly brown. The liquid should not contain visible particles. Do not use a syringe that is frozen or if the liquid is cloudy or contains small particles.
You can inject mepolizumab injection anywhere on the front of your thighs (upper leg) or abdomen (stomach) except your navel and the area 2 inches (5 centimeters) around it. If a caregiver injects the medication, the back of the upper arm may also be used. To reduce the chances of soreness or redness, use a different site for each injection. Do not inject into an area where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard or where you have scars or stretch marks.
Mepolizumab injection is not used to treat a sudden attack of asthma symptoms. Your doctor will prescribe a short-acting inhaler to use during attacks. Talk to your doctor about how to treat symptoms of a sudden asthma attack. If your asthma symptoms get worse or if you have asthma attacks more often, be sure to talk to your doctor.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of the manufacturer's information for the patient.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before receiving mepolizumab injection,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember it and then continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed one. Call your doctor if you miss a dose and have questions about what to do.
Mepolizumab injection may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms or those listed in the SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS section, call your doctor immediately or get emergency medical treatment:
Mepolizumab injection may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while receiving this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online ( Web Site) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store mepolizumab injection in the refrigerator or in an unopened carton at room temperature for up to 7 days, but do not freeze it. Once removed from the carton, mepolizumab injection can be stored at room temperature for up to 8 hours.
It is important to keep all medication out of sight and reach of children as many containers (such as weekly pill minders and those for eye drops, creams, patches, and inhalers) are not child-resistant and young children can open them easily. To protect young children from poisoning, always lock safety caps and immediately place the medication in a safe location – one that is up and away and out of their sight and reach. Web Site
Unneeded medications should be disposed of in special ways to ensure that pets, children, and other people cannot consume them. However, you should not flush this medication down the toilet. Instead, the best way to dispose of your medication is through a medicine take-back program. Talk to your pharmacist or contact your local garbage/recycling department to learn about take-back programs in your community. See the FDA's Safe Disposal of Medicines website ( Web Site) for more information if you do not have access to a take-back program.
In case of overdose, call the poison control helpline at 1-800-222-1222. Information is also available online at Web Site. If the victim has collapsed, had a seizure, has trouble breathing, or can't be awakened, immediately call emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor may order certain lab tests to check your body's response to mepolizumab injection.
Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about mepolizumab injection.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

City budgets $175K to finance proposed annexation
Published: May 17,2012
PASCAGOULA — An additional $175,000 will come out of the Pascagoula general fund this fiscal year to finance annexation.
The Mississippi Press reports city leaders approved the budget amendment.
The city’s plan to annex about 21 square miles east of the city got rolling in fall 2010, and has been a subject of debate ever since. Proponents say that the millions in investment for things such as legal fees and infrastructure will pay off in the long run in the form of economic and tax-base growth.
Officials have said that the city would invest about $2 million in the first five years, but Councilman Jim Milstead and others predict it will be many times that figure.

2020 Aotearoa New Zealand Ballroom Dancing Championships
On the weekend of Saturday 21st of November I had the privilege to both judge and compete as a professional in Auckland at the 2020 Aotearoa Championships. My partner Mike Bernie lives in Dunedin, while I live here in Tauranga, so getting enough training in for our principal event “Classical Sequence” was complicated. However we managed to work it out.
So yes we won our event and now hold the NZ Professional Title in Classical Sequence.
If you have never seen Classical Sequence I have loaded two videos. Firstly the Britannia Saunter, which is like a foxtrot
Then the Fylde waltz, where you can see the ballet influence in the use of 5ths and 3rds.
If you are looking for lessons in all the ballroom styles, not just Classical Sequence, I can help.

The Western Naval Command, which is headquartered in Mumbai, has staked its claim over the Elephanta Island - home to the iconic Elephanta Caves. It means that if the Navy has its way, the caves, which are visited by about 30,000 tourists each month, will soon be off-limits for civilians. Two months ago, the Naval Command wrote a letter to the state government claiming that Elephanta Island in Raigad district, which is located 10 km off Mumbai, is a "property of the Navy".

How Windows 10 Can Improve Healthcare Collaboration, Communication
For healthcare organizations, security is a key motivator for making the switch from Windows 7 to Windows 10. After Microsoft ends technical support and security updates for Windows 7 on Jan. 14, 2020, outdated operating systems will be vulnerable to “hacks, malware, viruses and other potential future security flaws,” notes Business News Daily.
Windows 10 comes with improved security measures: tools to thwart ransomware, such as a whitelist capability that designates which apps can access and change files; an anti-malware program that scans, quarantines and removes malware; and a sophisticated, cloud-based service for managing security threats across Windows 10 computers.
But switching to Windows 10 brings other benefits as well, including greater speed and efficiency, tools that support better communication and collaboration, and features that enhance productivity in general — all keys to effective healthcare delivery.
MORE FROM HEALTHTECH: Learn why device security is top of mind for providers during a Windows 10 migration.
Windows 10 Makes for Smarter, More Engaging Collaboration
Windows 10 includes several tools for smarter browsing and collaboration, as BizTech has reported: “The Microsoft Edge browser is an integral application of Windows 10. For virtual collaboration, users can annotate web pages with drawings or notes using a stylus pen on the touch screen of a Microsoft Surface tablet, or using a keyboard, and share the notes.”
The browser is tightly integrated with the Cortana digital assistant, which helps users quickly schedule in-person or virtual meetings and send reminders to participants.
Remote abilities further improve efficiency: Windows 10 machines can initiate remote desktop connections, with a “master” machine controlling “slave” machines and their resources, notes PCWorld.
Meanwhile, healthcare users have a need for speed. Windows 10 “flies” on any hardware and works even faster on the latest devices, which can boot in just a few seconds and handle even the most demanding workloads, according to ITPro. “That means teams can start their work faster and spend more time being productive and less time waiting for their system to chug into action,” the article notes.
Microsoft’s Teams platform, along with its Whiteboard app, “creates a set of collaboration tools that will push productivity forward for many users,” notes ITPro Today. Updates to Microsoft 365 have enabled “live events across an organization and new [workplace] analytics to help workers improve their productivity by learning more about how they use their time.”

Microsoft Teams Helps Hospitals Communicate in Real Time
Microsoft recently announced new Teams features that include advanced messaging capabilities, such as priority notifications and message delegation. The features also include the ability to integrate electronic health records for care coordination.
Case in point: The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto wanted to improve collaboration among its roughly 10,000 employees by bringing together key conversations, files and tools into workspaces that could be accessed by multiple people in different departments across the organization. The health system was already using other Office 365 products, such as OneNote and Planner; by adding Teams, users gained the ability to communicate in real time.
In an emergency, hospital communications departments must communicate with staff, patient families, media and the community on short notice. That’s what happened in 2018, when a traffic accident resulted in injured children being rushed to SickKids. The hospital had to act fast to develop a response to media inquiries as well as messaging for social media channels and internal groups.
“In the past, a similar situation would have resulted in the team trying to coordinate public response ... through a flurry of emails. Instead, through Teams’ real-time messaging, file sharing and group chat features, staff working both onsite and remotely were able to collaborate to develop messaging and respond quickly,” according to a Microsoft case study.

In-migration, indigeneity and imagination: or class, community and crisis in Europe
Location Arts Classhall F
Date and Start Time 26 Aug, 2010 at 11:30
This panel explores issues to do with the politics of social class and immigration, community and national belonging in contemporary Europe. It seeks to bring together scholars with an ethnographic research interest in emerging national, local and individual imaginations of 'crisis' associated with 'multi-culturalism'. What is the texture of this crisis? How is it imagined? Whose or what purposes does it serve? What kind of response does it elicit? In Britain, for example, a new rhetoric of 'indigeneity' is emerging which, amongst other things, points to a trend towards the ethnicisation of the white working classes. This poses an awkward relationship between moral claims to indigenous status made by ethnic majorities as opposed to ethnic minorities. To what extent is this occurring in other European contexts? What are its specific contours? Are we witness to a new politics of difference? Of interest are the ways in which specific groups and individuals are imagined as 'belonging' (or not) and how such imaginations are played out and represented on a public stage in both neo-liberal and neo-conservative discourses. What are the material consequences of such imaginaries? How are they politically exploited? What are its counterparts and alternatives? While socially and politically shaped boundaries between those who 'rightfully belong' and those who do not have always been naturalised and disseminated in commonsensical ideas, the panel seeks to explore emerging and current modalities of belonging.

Daily matters, silences and fragmentation of social spaces in Lithuania
This paper draws on ethnographic examples from Lithuania, and discusses the aspect of fragmentation of society through silences. It shows how daily matters become a pretext of reference to general order, its principles, social and ethnic differences or the 'lack of patriotism' - to disruptions and splits of the social. But daily life is a world of an individual, which often remains unvoiced and left out of public stage even by individuals themselves. The paper emphasises: any silence is not a neutral stance; it is a discourse that has significant political dimensions (Degnen 2006; Bonshek 2008; Sheriff 2000). Silence is a practise and a social habit that contains lived experiences, hidden subjectivities and non-represented differences, and is able per se to break off social spaces, and to construct different orders.
Workplace cosmopolitanisation and 'the power and pain of class relations' at sea
This paper examines the 'power and the pain of class relations' (Ortner 2006) through the experience of Scottish men working in the global shipping, offshore oil, and fishing industries, industries in which the nationality of workers has changed radically since the 1980s. It combines recent anthropological literature on violence, subjectivity, and cosmopolitanism with a Marxist understanding of class as situated within differing relationships to production. It describes how people have experienced the cosmopolitanisation of their workplaces, as workers from Portugal, Eastern Europe, Russia, and the Philippines have been recruited by employers in order to reduce wages, working conditions, and trade union organisation. Drawing on Therborn (1980), it concludes that the experiences gained through this process have lead to the development of multiple and often contradictory subjectivities, which people draw on as they choose how to act in moments of crisis, and as they imagine possible futures.
Law, labor and privilege: the nature of German labour immigration in the last decade
Amid contemporary immigration and financial "crises," German national discourse, specifically 2001's Green Card Program and 2005's Immigration Act, shows a marked change in the treatment of international workers over the past decade. Because of these noteworthy changes, my research engages the abundance of materials, including policies and laws, which are formed around competing social interests and historical interpretations. My text examines this politics of differerence by examining how highly skilled immigrants are imagined by law makers and by exploring the way that educational, racial, and economic privilege is written into German labor immigration laws. This paper is embedded in my current fieldwork research which looks at "multicultural" imaginations of technological and scientific innovation in Berlin and the influence of highly skilled immigration in larger discourses of belonging, nationalism, and natalism.
The return of the indigenous: the 'autochtonous' and their 'homelands' in Central Europe
The "typical" feather crown indicates for everybody that this small poster features a Native American's head in red colors; the German sentence below the drawing says: "They failed to fight in-migration, and now they live on reservations." Towards the end of the 21st century's first decade, neo-nationalism and extreme right-wing populism clearly have re-organized their rhetorical and ideological outfit. The present paper discusses through examples from German-speaking cases in Switzerland and Austria how this is enacted by visual and linguistic means. It will be argued that "Inlaender" (lit. the autochtonous, the indigenous) and "Heimat" (homeland) are crucial conceptual tools in this endeavor. This activates and manipulates fears that are understandable and as such often realistic, in order to re-direct and channel them towards a re-defined sense of nationhood under the threat of siege and crisis. Salvation from crisis is offered through visions of the return of the indigenous.
The Aboriginal People of England: the culture of class politics in contemporary Britain
This paper gives an anthropological analysis of the legal precedent at the heart of the British National Party's constitution and argues that a significant shift in the structure of sociality in Britain is taking place. This shift is to do with an intersection between the post-colonial and the post-industrial moment in world politics and in Britain this is marked by a move away from classifications of social class towards a preoccupation with race, ethnicity and cultural nationalism framed as indigeneity.
Anxieties of Englishness and participation in democracy
In the bi-elections in May 2006, there was only a marginal difference between the amount of votes the far-right British National Party received and the amount the winning Labour Party received in the electoral ward of Higher Blackley, North Manchester, England. This paper will explore some of the contingencies that have led some individuals in Higher Blackley toward more Right Wing political ideals and how everyday life experiences influence how a person participates in democracy. I will explore the role of 'fairness' and its ever-changing moral and ethical associations with governmental parties and voting patterns in Higher Blackley, and will explain how many individuals place government and bureaucracy outside of discourses on 'fairness' because of the sense of 'mis-representations' which national and local government associate with 'working class', 'white', 'English' individuals, particularly in urban spaces as well as local perceptions of 'being ignored' in a 'multicultural Britain'.
Ethnicity versus citizenship? An approach from a tourist economy, Mallorca (Spain)
Several studies on migration bring forward new dimensions to old problems in Europe. The changes in the concept and practice of political citizenship, originating in the 1960s, have increased with the emergence of different ways of social and political being, through ethnicisation, and individualizing fragmentation. The way in which some of the effects "constructed" by the crisis are perceived and lived, clearly affect the immigrant segment of the working class, either directly, by reunification, or second generation. This paper argues that, in the case of the Mallorcan tourist economy, the construction process generates neoethnicisation and segregation reactions in some immigrant groups with a double result: Whereas, on the one hand, there is a closed idea of citizenship, in an exclusive way within the indiginous population; on the other, we witness the reunification of some immigrants into politically defensive ethnic communities. The issue of class citizenship emerges as the central problem.
Be different, be productive, be Berlin: conditions of belonging in the 'creative city'
Berlin was and is a prominent reference for debates in Germany on the "problems of multiculturalism." Today, Berlin's city government embraces "culture and diversity" as resource for regional development, drawing on policy precepts of the creative and intercultural city. At the same time, however, Berlin's former minister of finance contests immigrant belonging with the statement that "many Turks and Arabs in this city have no productive function." His remark is indicative of the contradictions at the heart of the (neo)liberal approach to culture. In the attempt to create cosmopolitan place conducive to economic innovation and competitiveness, it demarcates conditions of belonging of both culturalized and socioeconomic status. In order to count as diversity to be supported, those categorized as different have to engage in "intercultural dialogue" and "not be dependent on social security." The paper examines this approach and its implications through the lens of Berlin's regional development programs.
'It's building up to something and it won't be nice when it erupts.' Contested modes of belonging in 'multicultural' and 'run-down' neighbourhood of Scottish city
Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork amongst Slovakian Roma labour migrants to the UK, this paper examines differentiated modalities of belonging in one 'multicultural' yet 'run-down' neighbourhood in a post-industrial Scottish city. This originally white Scottish working-class area was transformed into a 'multicultural' neighborhood through several migration waves from South Asia and recently from the new EU countries. Those concerned with the lost of 'community spirit' and growing crisis of the neighborhood, blaming its decline for migrants, do so on the grounds of protecting the 'cultural values' and 'rightful economic interests' of endangered majority who is, after 'they took over', turning into still most authentic yet disempowered working-class minority abandoned by the state. I shall ask what can we learn from debunking the logic of the widely shared performative rhetorics of 'I'm not a racist person but….' The paper shall examine several groups (migrants, white working class, and social and health workers) and levels of their competing claims for 'who has the right to belong here' in relation to the transforming vectors of difference and local hierarchy of prejudice shifting alongside variously intersecting capitals of ascribed ethno-national, class, race, gender and cultural membership.

Legislation S.688/A.807 Requires Insurance Companies to Cover Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) to Help End the HIV Epidemic in New York
Governor Hochul today signed legislation (S.688/A.807) requiring insurance companies to cover pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to help prevent against HIV infection.
"New York was once the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and we have a moral obligation to keep up the fight to end the epidemic once and for all," Governor Hochul said. "PrEP and PEP are critical tools that help prevent new HIV infections and every eligible New Yorker should have access to these vital medications."
Legislation S.688/A.807 requires that any insurance policy that provides coverage for prescription drugs includes coverage for the cost of PrEP and PEP — two important tools for preventing the spread of HIV. According to the Centers for Disease Control, PrEP has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection in people at high risk of contracting HIV by up to 92 percent, when taken consistently. New York State continues to have the highest PrEP coverage in the nation, and has more people receiving it than almost any other jurisdiction. PEP regimens are antiretroviral drugs taken to stop the spread of HIV after a single high-risk event. PEP can be used to treat health care workers who have been exposed to the blood or bodily fluids of HIV-positive patients, as well as people who have been exposed to HIV through unprotected sex, needle sharing, or sexual assault. This new law will help ensure that more New Yorkers can access these lifesaving tools, which are an important part of the fight to end the HIV epidemic in New York.
State Senator Brad Hoylman said, "New York has made significant progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS since committing to end the epidemic in 2014, but the rate of new infections still rose between 2020 and 2021 with over 2,100 cases last year. Widening access to PrEP and PEP, which prevent new infections, will help stop the spread. With this bill signing, New York is renewing its commitment to public health, especially in the LGBTQ community. Thank you to Assembly Member O'Donnell for championing this bill in the Assembly, Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins for bringing it to the Senate floor, and Governor Hochul for signing it into law."
Assemblymember Danny O'Donnell said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And access to preventative medicine is essential in our fight against HIV. The epidemic isn't over. But PEP and PrEP are proven to prevent the transmission of HIV, and no one should be denied access to these revolutionary medications due to cost or lack of insurance coverage. This is a bill that helps LGBTQ people, communities of color, and anyone at higher risk of HIV exposure by ensuring that lack of insurance coverage will never be the barrier to accessing PEP or PrEP. Thank you to my colleagues, Governor Hochul, Senator Hoylman, and the advocates who worked to pass this important legislation."
Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said, "PrEP and PEP medications are vital resources that are proven to be highly effective in preventing transmission and curbing the spread of HIV. These medications must be available, accessible, and above all, affordable to all New Yorkers. I applaud Governor Hochul for signing this important legislation and bringing New York another step closer to ending the epidemic."
New York State Department of Financial Services Superintendent Adrienne Harris said, "This is an important step towards ending the epidemic in New York and ensuring that New Yorkers, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression, have the opportunity to proactively protect their health and well-being. The Department will continue to support Governor Hochul and the legislature's efforts to expand access to PrEP and PEP, providing New Yorkers with critical access to these lifesaving medications.”

Nuclear technology has been contributing to sustainable development in many countries for more than six decades, considering that sustainable development is leaned on three pillars: economical, social and environmental.
Nuclear Power Plants have been contributing to avoid a significant amount of GHG emissions for more than five decades around the world, besides contributing to energy supply security. Besides these important achievements, the nuclear technology has paramount applications in environmental control, medicine, industry and agriculture.
In this context, Brazilian Nuclear Energy Association – Aben will promote the sixth International Nuclear Atlantic Conference - INAC 2013, to be held in Recife, the capital city of the state of Pernambuco, in the Brazilian Northeast, on November 24 to 29, 2013. The theme of the event is The Benefits of Nuclear Technology for Social Inclusion, which intends to discuss the benefits of nuclear technology to society, economy and environment.
The Conference will comprise three independent, but complementary, technical meetings: The XVIII Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Physics and Thermal Hydraulics (ENFIR), the XI Meeting on Nuclear Applications (ENAN) and the III Meeting on Nuclear Industry (ENIN). Jointly, the fifth edition of the Junior Poster Technical Sessions will be organized for undergraduate students from a number of colleges and universities to share with the participants the relevant results achieved in their research work under the supervision of nuclear researchers from Brazilian Institutions.
Completing the one-week program, ExpoInac, the traditional technical and commercial exhibition, will run alongside the INAC 2013, offering the opportunity to network with the delegates, enhance relationships with existing customers and meet new ones, demonstrate products or services, lunch new products, and seek international partners forming new alliances.

When it comes to obtaining geographical imagery, you want the very best results; however, concerns are developing around the legitimacy of the produced imagery, leading us onto the topic of Deepfakes. To gain a further understanding of Deepfakes, what they are, the issues they pose and how to make sure you're getting authentic outcomes, we answer the following questions: What are Deepfakes? How are Deepfakes created? How can drones prevent Deepfake satellite imagery? And what Drone solutions do we offer? Keep reading to find out how preventing deepfakes can help you to #ONEUPYOURBUSINESS!
Deepfakes are images or videos which have been faked, showing unreal events and content. Think of Adobe Photoshop where you can alter and manipulate a picture but on another level. Deepfakes take it one step further, stitching anyone into a video or photo they never actually partook in. An example of a deepfake you may have seen is Jon Snow's apology video for the disappointing season eight finale of Game of Thrones. Whilst this is a lighthearted example, deepfakes can be malicious, dangerous and even cause national security issues.
Deepfakes use machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), where information is fed to these powerful technologies which detect patterns. Therefore, hours of video footage are examined and analysed, forming and developing patterns and algorithms of how a person looks in different circumstances, lighting, and angles, making a composite of the person placed into a fictional situation naturally and realistically. As well as adding audio of the person speaking words and sentences they never said (as previously shown in the Jon Snow video referred to in the first section).
ML and AI can produce deepfakes quickly; without entire studios full of experts spending weeks, months and years to create, deepfakes started to evolve. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter announced this year that they will ban videos modified by artificial intelligence from their sites.
It's not only celebrities and people who are subjected to deepfakes but also geographical imagery. AI-generated deepfakes on satellite imagery like maps, city spaces, the countryside can pose threats and security concerns as they create misinformation to:
Scientists from the University of Washington (UW) are researching deepfakes to support geographers aiming to find methods to identify and detect fake satellite images and to warn of its dangers. Assistant professor of geography, Bo Zhao, at UW, who is leading the research, states "This isn’t just Photoshopping things. It’s making data look uncannily realistic,".
In an event where you need legitimate satellite imagery, drones are a reliable piece of cutting-edge technology that can gather data quickly and efficiently to provide you with high-resolution results. Depending on what information is needed, drones can be equipped with a range of equipment such as laser scanners, sensors, infrared and thermal cameras to give you the results you need and can:

Craig Yeast was a football star at Harrodsburg High School and the University of Kentucky, and made it to the NFL, not just because he was talented, but because he approached the game with passion and purpose.
Ready to begin his first season as a head coach, Yeast hopes to get Bryan Station to play the way he did.
"I'm stressing that you have to work hard and have discipline, and then you'll have fun in a family atmosphere," Yeast said. "But you've got to have the first two things before you get the last two."
Bryan Station didn't have fun last fall when it lost 10 of 11 games under Kenny Turner, who resigned after one year as the Defenders' coach.
But from the moment Yeast was hired in February, there was a positive buzz that has carried over to August.
"Last season is long gone. There's definitely new energy here," senior Jaysuma Webb said. "Coach is real tough, but that's what we need. And he's brought a quicker pace and fun style to how we play."
Bryan Station senior Thomas McKinley agreed.
"Having three coaches in three years is hard, but Coach Yeast brings a lot of excitement to rebuilding."
There's a steep learning curve with a new coach and new system, but Yeast has already seen his players embrace a better work ethic and more serious approach to football.
He also sees talent when he looks at the roster.
"Our strength is in our skill people," he said. "We're pretty athletic and pretty quick."
Webb has speed and play-making ability at wideout. Elijah Burdette, Michael Morton and Marc Petit-Frere can also stretch the field and catch the ball.
Yeast refers to running backs Everett Talbert, L.J. Warfield and LeDarius Jackson as a "three-headed monster. They can all run, and run with power, too."
The trio combined for 744 yards and eight touchdowns last year.
Newcomers Tyus Alcorn, a senior, and Ora Johnson, a sophomore, are battling for the starting quarterback spot.
"Both are very athletic with good arms and can run," Yeast said. "They're talented kids who have to be on the field somewhere to make plays if they're not at quarterback."
Yeast's offensive strategy will be simple: "Try to get the ball in our best players' hands, get them some space and matchups, and see what they can do."
McKinley, taking one for the team, moved from receiver to the offensive line where he'll join veterans John Hiles, Jamal Johnson, Jeremy Walker and Jeremy Strode.
Bryan Station's defense will be quick and athletic, led by Talbert at middle linebacker. "He's about as good as you can get, and a great kid," Yeast said. "He's Division I."
Burdette is also an experienced linebacker. Patrick Puckett and Curtis Sellers could see action there, too.
Austin Hendron and Rayking Young will be outside linebackers. Webb and Morton will lead the secondary.
While nobody questions the Defenders' athleticism, Yeast is looking for something else.
"I have a little bit of a country boy mentality in knowing you have to be physical in this game," he said. "These kids don't understand that yet. It's a work in progress."
Yeast, a fit, young-looking 34, occasionally practices with the scout team and gives his players a glimpse of what made him a star.
"For the sake of my pride, I'll say none of them are faster than me," he said with a smile.
Yeast just hopes his team can catch on fast to his philosophy of hard work and discipline so they can win some games and have some fun.

Thiruvananthapuram: JNU union president Kanhaiya Kumar’s advice to “uncle Karat to go to New York if you can’t fight fascist BJP” may seem impetuous but it harps on the rift between Karat and CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury, who believes BJP-RSS wants to convert secular India into a ‘fascist Hindu Rashtra.’ Mr Kumar’s comment in New Delhi on Thursday was in response to CPM former boss Prakash Karat’s formulation that the Modi Government and by implication BJP is not fascist. He said this in an opinion piece, Know your enemy, in a national daily the other day.
Mr Karat recognises that Modi government is dangerous because it espouses ‘Hindutva ideology’ and ‘chauvinistic nationalism’ but these do not tantamount to a threat of fascism. Modi government exhibits ‘authoritarianism,’ not ‘fascism,’ he says. “In India today, neither has fascism been established, nor are conditions present - in political, economic and class terms - for a fascist regime to be established," says Karat.
In stark contrast, Mr Yechury likens Modi government to Adolf Hitler. In one of his Rajya Sabha speeches Mr Yechury asserted: "The rising intolerance and the use of nationalism...is chillingly reminiscent of how Hitler used nationalism in order to establish fascism in Europe in the 1930s". Critics would argue Mr Karat’s formulation is to buttress his tactical opposition to alliance with Congress in West Bengal. The comment will add to ongoing debate on the Bengal line, externally backed by other Lefty parties. CPI leader D. Raja is on record that Modi Government is the “Indian variant of fascism”, prevailing in large parts of the country.
Back home in Kerala, the State unit will have no ideological issues over the Karat position as it is more concerned with checkmating senior leader V. S. Achuthanandan, who is a known supporter of Mr Yechury. Mr Acvhuthanandan has been ambivalent on heading the State Administrative Commission, indirectly linking it to his return the State secretariat. But the secretariat berth depends on the outcome of the politburo commission’s deliberations on the damning resolution passed against Mr Achuthanandan at the party plenum.
If Mr Karat insists on conditions for his re-induction into the State secretariat, Mr Achuthanandan may have second thoughts. This could possibly trigger another spell of open dissension, spearheaded by Mr Achuthanandan. He prefers to wait till the party central committee meeting on September 20 before accepting the administrative post.

Jul 6, 2010, 10:30 AM EDT
Andrew Baggarly of the Merc reports that Giants GM Brian Sabean met up with the team in Milwaukee yesterday. One of two possibilities: (a) he’s there to scout and discuss a deal with the Brewers; or (b) he brought along the proton packs in order to bust the ghosts over at the Pfister. Assuming for a second that he’s not battling Zuul or the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, what could he be thinking about accomplishing with the Brewers?
One possibility is Prince Fielder. There are no reports of any progress on the contract extension front and now that Barry Zito is cool with it — whew! — the Prince might fit in quite nicely at first base for the Giants. A more realistic possibility is Corey Hart. It’s been reported that the Giants are “very interested” in him. Worth noting, however, that people who know the Giants better are saying a deal is not likely anytime soon.
Still, it’s worth noting Sabean’s presence in Milwaukee. Word on the street is that he’s a hard man to reach. If he’s making himself available like this it must be for a good reason, right?

(*] Right wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos is disputing a BBC Click study that claims extremists have overtaken online chat streams of videogames such as “Call of Duty”, “Minecraft,” and “Minecraft” using hate speech.
Gamer culture can seem bizarre, offensive, and even frightening to the elderly and people with weak constitutions. But it’s deeply silly to allege that ‘hate groups’ are ‘taking over’ just because some hand-wringing, perpetually-aggrieved offense archeologist with too much time on her hands discovered someone saying something shocking,” Mr. Yiannopoulos told The Washington Times.
The BBC reported Sept. , that three months of research was done to track anti-Semitic and homophobic comments on several streaming platforms including DLive and Odysee. These platforms allow users of all ages and backgrounds from all over the world to chat while they play “Call of Duty” or “Minecraft.”
The BBC Click study raises concerns that “everyday conversation” could lead to young people being radicalized by them.
But Mr. Yiannopoulos is a former Breitbart news tech writer who rejected the notion that hate groups are trying to radicalize teenage boys.
” The report acknowledges that these are just ‘everyday conversation’,” he stated. All evidence supports the claim that video games can make people less violent and aggressive in real life. We all know that media reports about hate create the exact thing they warn against
First-person shooter games. Popular with young men, “Call of Duty”, have been criticized for perpetuating racism, sexism and homophobia in recent years.
The British-American Mr. Yiannopoulos, who now writes for the Catholic website Church Militant, rose to fame as a leading figure of the alt-right through his involvement in 2014’s so-called Gamergate scandal.
After he attacked political opponents via social media, including feminist video game critics and female video game designers, he was permanently removed from Twitter in 2016, and from Facebook in 2019..

Again, I decided to reinforce this science concept with art! We took a canvas outside with some paint and put it in a box. I squirted paint (using the PUSHing force) onto the canvas and threw in four marbles. The kids took turns using the canvas to create a ramp by pulling one side up higher than the other and let gravity pull the marbles down the ramp! In this way, we created a collaborative piece of art by using GRAVITY! It turned out so beautiful! The kids loved it and it reinforced that gravity pulled down!

Wales will adopt a “simpler” set of national coronavirus restrictions following the country’s firebreak lockdown, the First Minister has said.
Mark Drakeford admitted the series of local lockdowns he previously imposed across the country during the autumn “didn’t work well enough” to curb the spread of the virus.
The new rules would also be “easier for everybody to understand” after confusion over the Welsh Government’s ban on the sale of non-essential items in supermarkets, he said.
Mr Drakeford said the national measures, which will come into force when the firebreak ends after November 9, would balance “maximum protection” from Covid-19 with “as much freedom” as possible.
He told the Welsh Government’s Covid-19 briefing in Cardiff: “We will put in place a simpler set of national rules that are easier for everybody to understand, to help keep us safe and keep the virus under control.
“We’ve been working hard to create this new set of measures that we can all live with this winter.
“If the new measures are to work, we all have to act in ways that live up to the public health emergency we are facing together.
“Please do not treat the new rules as though they were a game in which the challenge is always to stretch them to the limit.”
He added that ministers are finalising the national set of measures and he will provide the “full details” on Monday.
Mr Drakeford’s announcement came after UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said that England was “striving” to avoid issuing blanket restrictions nationwide. Speaking on Thursday, Mr Raab insisted that more targeted measures could slow the growth in cases.
Asked why Wales would not return to the local lockdown system, Mr Drakeford said: “It’s not that they didn’t work. It’s that they didn’t work well enough to withstand the onslaught that we have seen from the virus over the last six weeks.
“They undoubtedly have helped, and all the efforts that people have made in those areas have kept the virus at a lower level in Wales than would otherwise have been the case.”
Mr Drakeford said people on low incomes would be supported by two schemes when they are asked to self-isolate due to a positive test, or when asked to do so by contact tracing teams.
These will be a top-up to statutory sick pay for all social care staff, including personal assistants, and a £500 self-isolation support payment for people on low incomes.
Regulations will also be strengthened to include a new offence of knowingly giving false information to contact tracers, a new duty to self-isolate, and a duty for employers to ensure they cannot “prevent an employee from following the advice to self-isolate”.
Shops, bars, restaurants and gyms will all reopen when the national measures come into force, Mr Drakeford confirmed, while pupils will return to schools, and churches and places of worship will resume services.
But a travel ban preventing people in areas of the UK with high levels of coronavirus from entering Wales could continue if incidence rates in England go on being much higher.
Mr Drakeford said: “If that remains the same, then we will expect to have a similar regime after November 9 as we had prior to October 23 because it just doesn’t make sense to add to the difficulties we already face by the virus being imported from elsewhere.”
Mr Drakeford told the press conference that the rate of Covid-19 in Wales had reached more than 220 cases per 100,000 people, while Merthyr Tydfil, currently with the worst incidence rate in Wales, is currently at more than 600 cases per 100,000.
Mr Drakeford said 1,191 people were also in hospital with coronavirus-related symptoms, 20% more than from the same point last week, and the highest amount since the end of April.
Public Health Wales said there had been a further 1,737 cases of Covid-19 diagnosed in Wales – the highest number of cases reported in a single day, in part due to an increase in testing – bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 49,571.
A further 11 deaths were also reported, with the total rising to 1,859.


The Kiwis have shown they can thrive in light winds so Peter Burling and his team won't mind if the winds remain light.
Emirates Team New Zealand was almost ideal in winning two races to jump to 8 points in the qualifiers, one more than Oracle.
The crews in the first scheduled semi-final, Emirates Team New Zealand and Britain's Land Rover BAR, sat on board their catamarans in Bermuda's Great Sound waiting to see if the wind would build, trying to stay out of the beating sun.
The New Zealand and Swedish crews dominated their races from start to finish, making few mistakes and giving their opponents little chance to pass, while the French boat once again looked wobbly on its foils at times, losing them crucial seconds.
But before then, the U.S. and New Zealand will cap the round robin with a rematch of the 2013 America's Cup match in San Francisco on Saturday.
As such, they will take a bonus point with them into the best-of-13 Cup Match, effectively the regatta final, later in the month.
Emirates Team New Zealand broke through the next great barrier in sailing as they cruised to victory over Groupama Team France in the Louis Vuitton Americas Cup Qualifiers yesterday.
The second race of the day, [Round Robin 2 race 13] saw Land Rover BAR and Sir Ben Ainslie put on a dominant display in their first of two races, as they overcame Dean Barker's SoftBank Team Japan.
Burling was far happier about his teams continued progression, which has led to them climbing to the top of the standings to become favourites to ultimately challenge Oracle Team USA for the Americas Cup in two weeks time.
And although Japan's close ties to the USA defenders have raised some questions over independence, skipper and CEO Barker says they operate separately on key areas of designing and configuring their catamarans.
Emirates Team New Zealand recovered superbly to close the deficit completely by gate 3 as the teams headed into the turn together.
"Team NZ have beaten BAR twice already this week, including the walkover on Friday (NZT), when the Kiwis nearly lapped their rivals, who withdrew with two legs remaining".
In one of the many radical departures from tradition, this is the first time the defender has sailed against challengers in the preliminaries.
The knowledge they have gained of the winds and conditions of Bermuda's Great Sound is also a potential advantage for tactician Chris Draper and the crew.
Ainslie had previously said he thought Team New Zealand's relative strength in light airs was one of the reasons they chose his team as their semi-final opponent. In other races, Land Rover BAR beat Team Japan and Artemis Racing beat Groupama Team France, which was eliminated Friday.

The steel industry is a very dynamic industrial sector. Further steps are ongoing towards increasing resource and energy efficiency, reducing emissions and providing safe and healthy work environments. For achieving this, the steel industry is to excel in today’s environment which is a highly dynamic and interactive business environment.
Sulfur dioxide and the hydrogen sulfide gases are volatized and captured in air emissions control equipment and the residual slag is sold to the construction industry.

Mississippi: The band Train has a hauntingly stunning tune titled Mississippi that would be perfect as an affirmation of the State and region, but I decided to go with Whiskey Myers’s Mud as the perfect defiance song for the State and it’s muddy waters and riverbanks.
The Carolinas: There are so many tunes celebrate the Carolinas, and Carolina born Charlie Daniels has one of the best, but the two below are representative of two other Carolina born artists, the Marshall Tucker Band and Josh Turner. Marshall Tucker rode the Southern music renaissance wave in the 1970s and Blue Ridge Mountain Skies has a perfect lyric, “Carolina is where I’m at, and I’ll always hang my hat, under those blue ridge mountain skies.” John Turner’s bass vocals are perfect in his homage to South Carolina and the double meaning of “low country.”
**********************Southerners love home. This is true of many people throughout history, but place has, in part, defined the South. The earliest settlers to what became the South championed its Utopian physical qualities: warm weather, a long growing season, bountiful plant and animal life. Bad weather, disease carrying insects, and dangerous wildlife were annoyances to be tolerated if not overcome.
Southern culture easily developed in this environment. A worldview in which “heaven” could be perceived on earth allowed the Southerner to find contentment. Peopl, place, and community–a defense of hearth and home–became quintessential Southern traits and an important part of the richness of Southern art. Southern literature is popular because Southern culture is unique and tangible, a thing to be savored not endured. When the break with the Union occurred in 1861, the Southerner easily rallied around his State because the “state” was representative of his people. He fought not for the glory of a “national” entity, but for the protection of his way of life, a way of life threatened by a foreign “other.” They were both “American,” but to the Southerner, their “America” was nothing like the “America” of the North, and no Southerner wished to be “Americanized” by a people with an alien culture and traditions.

KWINANA is the only Perth suburb that offers young families affordable housing, according to new report issued by AMP.
The report, which analyses housing affordability trends over the last ten years, says that almost all Perth suburbs are classed as “severely unaffordable”.
According to the report, housing is considered affordable when it costs less than five times typical after-tax household incomes. Suburbs are classed as severely unaffordable when median prices are more than seven times average after-tax incomes.
Kwinana was the only Perth suburb to make it to the list of only 17 Australian suburbs classed as affordable, with median house prices in the area sitting at around $332,000.
In 2001 the “vast majority” of Perth suburbs sat in the affordable category, according to AMP.
The report put the blame for the collapse of housing affordability squarely at the feet of WA’s recent mining boom.
AMP financial planner Claire Esmond said average income earners are struggling to afford property.
“The problem is that housing prices have far outpaced income growth over the past decade. Since 2001 Australian house prices have grown an enormous 147 per cent, yet in comparison household income has grown just 57 per cent,” she said.
Not surprisingly, Perth also has three of the least affordable suburbs in the country, for an average household – Peppermint Grove, Cottesloe, and Nedlands.

Considered to be one of the greatest country songs ever written
, the first Lady of country, Tammy Wynette released the single "Stand By Your Man
" in September of 1968.
As one of the most covered songs in the history of country music
, this song proved to be the most successful single/record
in all of Tammy's career.
In this stunning performance, Tammy Wynette carries herself with such poise and confidence
, that it almost seems unreal
After Johnny Cash introduces her, Tammy begins to humbly take the mic, and what happens next is chilling
As soon as Tammy starts singing, the crowd goes wild for the recognizable tune
in anticipation for the infamous chorus
When the song was first being written, it took all of 15 minutes
(which is nothing), from an idea that came from Tammy Wynette's producer, Billy Sherrill.
Originally, Tammy did not like the song because it wasn't like anything she had ever written before, and there was an incredible high note
that seemed impossible for her to hit.
Throughout her career though, she began to love "Stand By Your Man
", and appreciate the song as a significant milestone
in her career!Tammy Wynette is and was a legend
. She will never be forgotten as the female trailblazer
that she was. Rest in peace Virginia Wynette Pugh.
Sometimes it's hard to be a womanGiving all your love to just one manYou'll have bad times, and he'll have good timesDoin' things that you don't understandBut if you love him, you'll forgive himEven though he's hard to understandAnd if you love him, oh be proud of him'Cause after all he's just a man.Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling toAnd something warm to come toWhen nights are cold and lonely.Stand by your man, and show the world you love himKeep giving all the love you can.Stand by your man.Stand by your man, and show the world you love himKeep giving all the love you can.Stand by your man.

Setting an Example – The Dubai RTA
The shining star of the tech-savvy and sustainable Emirati city's transport system is the award-winning and record-beating Dubai Metro. It is the world's longest, spanning across a 75-km route. Also, it is fully automated and driverless. The credit of this achievement goes to the Road and Transport Authority of Dubai, known as the RTA. The RTA is a government-of-Dubai body that regulates all concerned services, from metro and trams, water bus and Abras, to buses and taxis. The bus system in Dubai by itself is vast and connects over 193 routes transporting millions of passengers every week. The Dubai RTA shines right through and sets an exemplary model for government bodies globally.
"Dubai Bus" is the brand name by which the RTA Dubai bus operates. The RTA is at the forefront of technological advancements and smart solutions to address nagging issues such as ticket vending and moving to paperless systems. It came up with a brilliant answer – a common card across all modes of transport. Called the Nol card, these prepaid cards can be used to travel by water buses, metro, taxi and Dubai buses too.
En-routes by Bus
The Dubai Bus has a fleet comprising of a variety, like double-decker, standard and articulated buses, serving various routes. These offer a range of budgets and preferences. There are eight express routes to places like the Gold Souk and Dubai Investment Park, over 25 feeder routes to popular metro stations like the Mall of Emirates and Dubai Mall, 13 that serve the Central Business District, 11 Intercity ones, and over 40 local bus routes. Since RTA Dubai bus timings are well-adhered to, one can easily pre-plan his commute using any of these buses conveniently to and from popular destinations in the city.
Drive Around the City
The Dubai RTA aims to use technology to back all their endeavours – from licensing to fine levy. The RTA Dubai driving license services provide everything required on a single platform. Some Travellers with an internationally valid driving license with an Arabic translation have the option of driving on their own in a rented vehicle. However, the violation of traffic rules invites RTA Dubai traffic fines, thereby making it tricky for a novice driver. Also, given the notoriety of some of the areas, travellers prefer to stick to the "safer" transport modes – be it bus, metro or taxi.
High-tech and Convenience Score Points
There is the availability of beautifully laid and monitored mass transit systems and the option of hailing a taxi and enjoying a stress-free ride. These are the most preferred ways of exploring the multicultural hotspot and tourist destination of Dubai. Exemplifying the high standards that everything Emirati exudes, the RTA is never far behind in keeping up with times or in meeting the needs of its people. It serves the residents just as well as the travellers from the world over.
If you want to buy a Nol ticket, rent a vehicle to drive yourself around, or have any queries regarding Dubai's RTA, we can provide you with all the information. RTA also has an application which you can download to explore the RTA network.
