Harmeet Dhillon Appears on FBN’s ‘Cavuto Coast to Coast’ To Discuss Facebook Audit
According to Dhillon:
Well, I think it doesn’t go far enough. I think it’s actually a fairly shallow effort and more designed to placate conservatives than to actually acknowledge and address the issues that are rampant in Facebook’s content moderation and its ad filtering, and its suspending of people with vague policies and inequitable application of those rules, and its human resources across the board. And so, I don’t think it does much of anything.
Well, I don’t think it’s that hard. I think it requires honesty and decency, and it requires transparency. None of those things are present here. For example, for example simply hiring a former senator who is now a lobbyist to have his law firm interview a bunch of people over several months and then make a report about it, it doesn’t do anything. What Facebook needs to do is acknowledge that 90% plus of its employees who apply these rules are biased. That the rules are vague and biased. That the rules have been applied inequitably against conservatives. And that as a result of this vagueness and inequitable kind of regime, people are censoring themselves and the quality of their Facebook experience is really decreased as well as the transparency of everything that they do. And, that is unattractive from a product point of view. But from a point of view of speech and regulation, I think it really gives the impression to conservatives that they’re being discriminated against. That remains so after this fairly shallow, white-washed report.
That’s right. We’re not going to be fooled by this. What they need to do is name the problem, acknowledge it, and take steps to resolve it rather than throw a report at it. Nobody is being fooled by this.
They should have transparency who they ban and why, so that people can study that and comment on it. They don’t have that right now. They should have clear rules. So, one the things that this report identified which is a very obvious problem is that they forced non-profits to describe themselves as political entities in order to run ads which jeopardizes their non-profit status. Now, they claim they’ve changed that but they keep changing the rules right before an election, right before somebody wants to buy ads. And, it’s always conservatives who seem to be banned. Pro-life groups…

U.S. label Michael Kors is connecting fans of its Selma handbag through an Instagram initiative that stimulates conversation and unites the brand’s global tribe of enthusiasts.
The fan-fueled and city-focused #JetSetSelma effort builds upon Michael Kors’ already diverse product-based digital presence. The label has successfully used key social media platforms, such as Tumblr and Pinterest, to solidify its relationship with core consumers.
"#JetSetSelma is a platform on which to build the association between the handbag's style, name and social media identity," said Lisa Pomerantz, senior vice president of global communications and marketing at Michael Kors, New York.
"Fans make this an enduring and compelling story by using their social channels to talk about the Selma and their style in a way that is natural for them," she said. "We're tapping into the way Instagram users are already employing the platform.
"Instagram photographers are already taking pictures of their surroundings, a beautiful sunset, a historic landmark, the view from a balcony. #JetSetSelma encourages women to combine their sense of style or the pieces they love with their surroundings and share it out to their social communities."
Michael Kors is celebrating the popularity of its Selma handbag, launched in Spring 2013, by asking fans to snap a photograph of their purse “on location,” upload it to Instagram and accompany the image with the hashtag #JetSetSelma.
Michael Kors Instagram post
Once uploaded to Instagram, the photograph joins the continually growing gallery on the the Destination Kors Web site. To entice more fans to participate, the brand gave away one Selma handbag per week between Oct. 18 and Nov. 18.
The brand cites label founder Michael Kors’ trip to London as the inspiration behind the initiative. Mr. Kors’ London Selma photo generated the most “likes” for an Instagram post orchestrated by the brand.
Fan locations include cities such as Barcelona, London, New York and San Francisco.
Some participants chose to take their photos near iconic landmarks or in nature, while others featured their Selma in everyday settings, which shows the versatility of the handbag’s design and the diversity of Michael Kors enthusiasts.
Michael Kors continued to take the Selma “on location” during an event at the Tokyo National Museum Nov. 13. The event celebrated model Miranda Kerr’s Michael Kors cover of Elle Japan magazine.
Michael Kors Instagram photo of the Selma bag in Tokyo
As guests entered the museum event the #JetSetSelma Instagram initiative was brought to life. A projector displayed a “digital mosaic” of skylines around the world and a Selma handbag.
More than 5,000 images were projected at the event including Michael Kors imagery, fan submissions using the hashtag #MKTokyo and images live-streamed from the event’s Phhhoto booth which attendees could share via text and social media.
Additionally, the photos will be printed to create a living exhibit on the walls of the museum.
Bringing the initiative from digital to physical creates an additional layer of engagement and conversation, especially in Japan where Michael Kors has a strong retail presence.
Exploring different social media platforms can bring a brand closer to their consumers.
For example, Michael Kors expanded its social media footprint with its #MKTimeless Tumblr channel that connects enthusiasts who have affinity for the brand’s watch collection.
The branded hashtag was inspired by a 2010 Twitter trend where enthusiasts used #MKTimeless to discuss their Michael Kors watches. The newly launched Tumblr joins Michael Kors’ Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts that also use the hashtag to connect with enthusiasts (see story).
Similarly, beauty marketer Estée Lauder relaunched its Advanced Night Repair serum campaign through a digital magazine on social magazine application Flipboard that includes editorial content from Hearst’s beauty editors.
Estée Lauder teamed with Flipboard to create content to support the relaunch of its Advanced Night Repair serum (see story).
Transitioning from digital to physical enhances the experience for the consumer and creates a lasting impression.
"The idea of taking a picture with the Micheal Kors handbag in it against famous or fun backdrops is a strong and simple one," said Simon Buckingham, CEO of Appitalism, New York.
"Instagram is the quickest and easiest way to post those pictures given its status as a primary picture-sharing social network," he said. "The Michael Kors campaign is all about how your handbag participates in your life adventures.
"Adding a museum exhibit in Tokyo adds to the glamor effect of the overall campaign as it makes the campaign more artistic and upscale."
Jen King, editorial assistant on Luxury Daily, New York

Banking on a freebie: Finance chiefs played host to mandarins 73 times a year
Senior civil servants have been wined and dined dozens of times by the bankers now being blamed by the Government for Britain's financial crisis.
In just one year, some of the most powerful mandarins in Whitehall accepted 73 separate invitations to events hosted or sponsored by banks.
They included trips to the Chelsea Flower Show, private viewings of exhibitions, lunches, dinners and nights at the ballet.
The disclosures came a day after the Mail revealed the other extraordinary freebies enjoyed by Britain's top mandarins.
Ballet: One of the many free events for civil servants
The scale of the hospitality in 2007 will raise fresh questions about the intimate links between banks and the establishment.
Labour's cosy relationship with the financial industry has seen dozens of bankers given honours, appointed as ministers and given jobs on Government taskforces, reviews and quangos.
Downing Street defended the need for Whitehall figures to develop and maintain contacts outside their departments after the Cabinet Office detailed how they received hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of free drinks, meals and tickets to shows, concerts and sporting events.
A Daily Mail analysis shows that 73 invitations were from banks, many of them to civil servants responsible for drawing up and implementing economic policy.
Sir Nick Macpherson, senior mandarin at the Treasury, accepted seven invitations to events hosted by banks - including a trip to the Chelsea Flower Show and dinner courtesy of Deutsche Bank, two lunches with Goldman Sachs and lunches with Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS.
Sir Brian Bender, permanent secretary-at the Department for Business-and Enterprise, went to events hosted by three banks - UBS, Standard Chartered and Rothschild.
Jeremy Heywood, who is now permanent secretary at Downing Street, accepted invitations to five events, including dinner and ballet hosted by UBS in 2007, when he was at the Cabinet Office.
Tory MP Anne Main said: ' Gordon Brown is desperate to distance himself from his crony bankers and their lavish lifestyles, but now we discover that his top civil servants were wined and dined 73 times by his favourite financiers.'
The release for the first time of the hospitality details increased pressure on the Government to open up the full list of ministers' private interests.
Tories accused ministers of 'stalling' over the publication, promised by Mr Brown more than 18 months ago. The move has been repeatedly delayed.

As of last year, fans were clinging to rumors that Blizzard might bring Hearthstone to the Nintendo Switch. Those hopes have been soundly dashed thanks to an interview PowerUp! had with game designer Dean Ayala. They asked directly whether or not Hearthstone might find its way to the Switch, to which Ayala responded very firmly that there were no plans to do so.
Some people like to take these interview responses with a grain of salt, because often times there are things that developers simply can't reveal on their own. However, Hearthstone is doing incredibly well where it stands on PC, iOS, and Android devices. The move to the Nintendo Switch would mark the first console adaptation of the game, and it would be fairly difficult. At the least because Nintendo doesn't have the greatest online play support yet.
There's also the fact that Hearthstone relies heavily on crossplay between mobile and PC players. Console crossplay is only just now beginning to happen, and some of the companies haven't exactly gotten along. So Hearthstone on the Switch might be potentially limited to just fellow Switch players. The mobile and PC users number in the 50 millions, and being cut off from those players would be very unfortunate.
So as far as we can tell, Hearthstone will not be coming to the Nintendo Switch in the future. We'll have to take solace in the fact that the PC, iOS, and Android versions of the gam will always be great.

May 8 - According to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), wind energy projects in the USA posted their strongest year ever - a total of 13,124 MW of power was brought online across 26 states and Puerto Rico.
Iowa's RPM Access (RPMA) - a developer of wind generation projects across the US Midwest - is a specialist in smaller wind project installations. It recently completed the Hawkeye Wind Farm in Fayette County, Iowa, using two Terex CC2800-1 crawler cranes. RPMA installed 15 wind turbines capable of powering 12,000 homes.
The rise of wind power projects is a double-edged sword for a small developer like RPMA. While the market for wind turbine erection is high, a limited supply of crane capacity makes scheduling projects difficult, and can create project bottlenecks.
According to Steve Dryden of RPMA "heavy lift contractors will typically complete the big jobs first", leaving the smaller projects like Hawkeye waiting for a crane to become available.
RPMA explained that efficiency is key to getting heavy lift cranes to a jobsite when needed. In November 2011 - in preparation for the wind tower installations - Nordex USA acted as a general contractor developing 6.8 km of access roads and laying 19 km of underground cables.
Crews then began pouring foundations for the 15 turbines. All necessary infrastructure was already in place at the Hawkeye jobsite prior to the arrival of the two Terex crawlers.
The 100 m turbines were erected at a rate of one every three days. Each turbine consisted of seven lifts: Five tower segments, a nacelle, and a blade and hub assembly. The cranes were configured differently so that they could operate in tandem to maximise the speed at which the wind towers were installed.

Surprising Household Items That Can Cause Poisoning in Dogs
(Photo credit: alexsokolov / Getty Images)
Our fur-babies are our beloved companions. We go above and beyond to ensure their safety, happiness, and well-being. Despite our acts of love to protect our pups from harm, unintentional consumption of household items can lead to poisoning in dogs. While it is already common knowledge that items like chocolate, cleaners, and pesticides can cause great harm to our pups, what else is lurking within arm’s reach?
March is Pet Poison Prevention Month. We’ve compiled a list of top household items that cause poisoning in dogs.
Xylitol: Sugar-Free Mints, Candy, Peanut Butter, and Gum
Xylitol, also known as Birch Sugar, can appear as one of those confusing ingredients listed on the back of a wrapper or label. The sweetener is a natural sugar alcohol substance found in plants. Nearly sweet as sucrose (sugar), Xylitol is low in calories and sugar. This makes it a choice sweetener option for people with diabetes or those who are on low-carbohydrate diets. Despite how often the ingredient is used in sugar-free items, the substance is incredibly toxic to dogs. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), when dogs ingest something containing xylitol, the substance is more quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. This can lead to a potent release of insulin from the pancreas.
Poisoning can begin in as little as 20 minutes. Even small amounts can cause hypoglycemic (low blood sugar), liver failure, seizures, and even death. Ingesting over .5 grams of Xylitol can lead to liver failure. For reference, one stick of chewing gum contains between .5 and 1g of Xylitol.
Be extra mindful about leaving out mints, gum, candy, or other items containing xylitol. The ingredient is found in a wide range of sugar-free and low-sugar food and health products including:
Gum and mints
Baked Goods, Ice Cream, or Desserts
Jellies and nut butters
Mouthwashes and toothpastes
Cough syrup and nasal sprays
Dietary supplements like gummy vitamins or sleep aids
An additional preventative measure would to read the ingredient list to ensure that it does not contain the toxic substance. Instead, purchase an alternative option that is not toxic or potentially fatal. Stevia, Monk Fruit, Sucralose (Splenda), even the popular Erythritol – not to be confused with Xylitol! – are sugar-free options that are not toxic to our canine friends.
Household batteries contain toxic chemicals that can be released upon puncture. Ingesting the chemicals can require emergency treatment from a veterinarian. When alkaline batteries leak, they can burn your pet’s mouth, stomach, or esophagus. Swallowing an entire battery can lead to intestinal blockage, which may require surgery.
Serious injury can occur within a few hours of the battery being swallowed. If you notice your pup got ahold of your television remote or your child’s toy, make sure to check that the batteries are in place. Additionally, you may want to inspect your pup’s mouth for burns or signs of ingestion. If you suspect your dog may have swallowed a battery, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Grapes, Raisins, Currants, Sultanas
We’ve all shared our human snacks with our pups, even against veterinarian advice. Carrots, small amounts of turkey, natural peanut butter are all options that are safe for our dogs. Grapes, raisins, currants, and sultanas are a treat to enjoy alone and should never be shared with your fur baby. The ASPCA Poison Control Center (PCC) determined that these foods contain tartaric acid, a compound that causes vomiting, diarrhea, and in serious cases, kidney failure.
Garlic and Onions
Garlic and onions contain a toxic component known as N-propyl disulfide. Consuming any part of onion or garlic can cause anemia in dogs. Onion and garlic powder is used in a wide range of food, from pasta sauce to baby food. It does not take a lot for a medium sized dog to experience side effects from dangerous toxicity levels. Small dogs are even more susceptible. Because of how often we use onion, garlic, and their powdered forms in our food, it is important to monitor storage and use. The flavor is enticing to dogs, which makes this an additional concern.
Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Cream of Tarter
Similar to grapes, cream of tartar contains tartaric acid that causes gastrointestinal and renal distress to dogs. In serious cases, dogs may die from acute kidney failure. The acid is also found in baking soda and baking powder, ingredients commonly used in cooking or baking. If you unknowingly drop a bit on the floor while baking, your dog may sniff at the powder or lick up the leftovers. This small action can have great consequence. Pet owners should mindful when using these ingredients when baking. The ingredient is also called for in homemade play-dough, which children could leave unattended to later be discovered by their furry siblings.
Fabric softener sheets coat clothing with chemicals such as benzalkonium and chloroform in order to rid fabric of static cling. Additionally, fragrances contain chemicals that are toxic to your pup. While there is no sure way to predict what your dog will find to chew on, you pup may face risk for poisoning if that item is a dryer sheet. Even if the sheet has been used, it is still toxic to dogs. Poisoning can lead to gastrointestinal issues or intestinal blockages, but can also lead to nervous system breakdowns and difficulty breathing.
Over-the-Counter and Prescription Medications
Many of us require the use of medications for a variety of ailments, from headaches, to allergies, to illness, or injury. It is important to properly store medication in order to avoid unintentional ingestion. If you believe you may have dropped a Tylenol on accident, be sure to pick it up. Consuming even one or two pills of a toxic drug can lead to devastating results. The National Animal Supplement Council identifies drugs that are highly toxic to pets. These include:
Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)
Naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox)
Sleep Aids (Benzodiazepines, Xanax, Ambien)
Cholesterol Medications (Lipitor)
Signs of Poisoning in Dogs
Signs of pet poisoning can vary depending on the type of toxin and quantity of consumption. Some of the most common indications of poisoning in dogs include:
Diarrhea and upset stomach
Loss of appetite
Excessive thirst or urination
If you suspect your pet may have ingested something toxic, immediately contact the National Poison Control Help Line at 1-800-222-1222. You can also text “POISON” to 797979.
Contact your veterinarian if you think you pet may have ingested something poisonous. Although we can downplay the level of severity when it comes to your pup eating something they shouldn’t have, it is always better to be safe. Time is of essence when it comes to medical care following poisoning in dogs.

Skiers at Snowjourn shorter this year: Organizers add middle school 5K race
BEMIDJI — Thirty-four years ago, more than 300 skiers were spotted trekking the trails at Buena Vista Ski Area in Bemidji for the Snowjourn cross country event.
There were 49 competitors in the Buena Vista Snowjourn race on Saturday.
Snowjourn race director Bruce Slinkman said a new element was added to the traditional 12K cross country ski race. A middle school 5K freestyle race debuted at the 34th Buena Vista Snowjourn.
“We want to keep middle schoolers engaged in skiing,” Slinkman said. “Their ski team season ends in mid-February.”
Twelve year old Kaija Matalamaki thanked Slinkman for including a middle school race this year. “It was a lot of fun,” Matalamaki said, admitting that she wiped out a couple times.
Matalamaki was one of nine members who participated in Snowjourn from the Bemidji Middle School cross-country ski team.
“We always like to have higher numbers, but it’s a little later in the season and there are other things that happen on weekends,” Slinkman said.
Slinkman said the decline in participants and spectators is likely due to more recreational options these days. In 1976, when Bemidji State University hosted the first Buena Vista Snowjourn, there were fewer activities. Minnesota Finlandia took control of the race in the early 1990s.
Roger Jarvi participated in the first Buena Vista Snowjourn and has never missed a race. Jarvi agreed with Slinkman’s point on more activities contributing to fewer skiers, but that’s not the only reason.
“So many old timers have passed away,” Jarvi said.
Jarvi and the late Lloyd Johnson skied every Snowjourn since it began. In 1996, the Johnson-Jarvi Award was created to recognize someone who has demonstrated long-term support and commitment of cross country skiing in the Bemidji area. Johnson died in 2008.
Slinkman said he has been using social media, which is popular with younger people, to help promote ski events. He said the health angle is appealing to people wanting to get fit since skiing is one of the best aerobic methods of physical fitness.
“The ski community is optimistic that the numbers will continue to grow,” Slinkman said. “The Bemidji area has a lot to offer.”
Slinkman said weather conditions Saturday were ideal for a race day. Skiers glided across powder white trails under sunny, clear skies in temperatures in the teens — above zero. Snowjourn 2014 was originally scheduled for March 1 but was postponed due to the extreme cold weather Minnesota has come to know too well this winter. Four Snowjourns have been cancelled due to extreme cold or lack of snow.
“Sometimes you’ll have a race in a snowstorm,” Slinkman said. “That’s part of skiing, adjusting to the conditions.”
Buena Vista Snowjourn is Bemidji’s oldest ski event. Classical and skate skiers skied the Minnesota Finlandia Ski Marathon course on Buena Vista’s west side. Tour skiers had the option of four, seven or 12K distances. Slinkman said most skiers finish the course in 1.5 hours.
Skiers retreated to the barrel-stove heated Logging Heritage Museum hall of fame lodge after crossing the finish line for an awards ceremony that included top male and female finishers along with presentation of the Johnson-Jarvi Snowjourn Award.

The ECP’s decision comes after KP Governor Ghulam Ali proposed the same date for elections in his province. The election program will be released later, according to a notification obtained by Dawn.com. The decision to set the date for KP elections on the same day as Punjab elections has been challenged in the Supreme Court.
The court had previously ruled that elections in KP and Punjab must be held within 90 days of the dissolution of provincial assemblies in January or on a date that deviates minimally from the constitutional deadline. The governor had cited several militant attacks and stated his desire for free, fair, and peaceful polls in the province, while also claiming that residents of tribal districts were protesting against the conduct of general elections before the announcement of new census results. In January, the Punjab and KP assemblies were dissolved, and elections are required to be held within 90 days of dissolution.
The ECP has previously cited police shortages and terrorism threats as reasons for the postponement of elections.

The Swiss judiciary is investigating possible financing of Hamas from Switzerland despite the country not classifying the group as a terrorist organisation, its attorney general said Saturday.
The investigation was opened "several weeks" before the October 7 attacks by Hamas on Israel, Stefan Blaettler said, on Swiss public radio station SRF, without revealing further details.
The Attorney General's office later told AFP that the investigation was launched "on suspicion of financing Hamas from Switzerland".
The investigation is expected to be laborious because, unlike the European Union and United States, Switzerland has not placed bans on Hamas.
But since the attack, mounting calls for the Swiss government to take action has prompted it to respond.
Four days after the attack, the government said it was "of the opinion that Hamas must be classified a terrorist organisation".
A Middle East task force, established in the wake of the attacks, has been tasked with studying options for classifying the Islamist militant group as "terrorist", although the government has given no timeline on the matter.
Swiss President Ignazio Cassis had two days after the attack argued that the government can only ban organisations that are also banned by the United Nations.
As a result, only Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group as well as a few related organisations are currently banned in Switzerland.
All the attempts to ban Hamas in parliament have so far failed but a committee in the lower house recently put forward a new proposal.
Hamas militants stormed into Israel from the Gaza Strip two weeks ago and killed at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians who were shot, mutilated or burnt to death on the first day of the raid, according to Israeli officials.
Israel says around 1,500 Hamas fighters were killed in clashes before its army regained control of the area under attack.
More than 4,300 Palestinians, mainly civilians, have been killed across the Gaza Strip in relentless Israeli bombardments in retaliation for the attacks by the Palestinian Islamist militant group, according to the latest toll from the Hamas health ministry in Gaza.

In the interests of not giving readers misleading information, the best answer to this question is maybe. The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) attempts to protect a whistleblower’s anonymity, but in some cases, it is not always possible to do so. Taking it a step at a time, here is what you should know about being an anonymous whistleblower against fraudulent securities and trading activity.
First, you can always submit your information to the SEC anonymously. However, you are required to have an attorney represent you in this endeavor. You are also required to give your attorney a completed Form TCR, which is a form outlining your whistleblower complaint or tip. While this form does require your personal information, the SEC will treat this information as anonymously as possible.
The second important point is that you may not be able to remain anonymous throughout the investigation and any potential legal proceedings. While the SEC does work to protect the identity of informants, it is not always possible. In a court proceeding, for example, it may be necessary for the SEC to provide documentation that contains information about your identity. Further, the SEC may be required to disclose your identity to other government entities.
Suffering retaliation in the workplace is one of the top reasons residents of Detroit hesitate to blow the whistle against illegal activity or unethical practices. The government will protect you against retaliation or harassment if you cannot remain anonymous, but you may also benefit from a lawyer’s guidance. Acquiring a whistleblower attorney provides you with fast access to legal solutions, which can broaden the protection of the government.

Mechanical tenderization is a process that typically utilizes a set of needles or blades which penetrate meat, cutting through muscle fibers and connective tissue to improve tenderness. Mechanical tenderization has been widely utilized in Canada to enhance the eating quality of beef for many years.
During the 2012 recall of beef from XL Foods Inc., there were five reported cases of illness thought to be associated with the consumption and/or handling of mechanically tenderized product. Consequently, Health Canada is now undertaking a risk assessment to examine the safety of mechanically tenderized beef and to provide guidance around cooking temperatures.
To ensure the best information is available to Government and the Canadian beef industry, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) has instigated further food safety research. The research is focused on four aspects related to the safety of mechanically tenderized beef. Continue reading
The Public Health Agency of Canada has completed its most recent report on the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS). This program monitors trends in antimicrobial resistance in beef cattle, swine and broiler chickens, and in meat samples collected from retail stores, with a focus on three bacteria of interest: E. coli, Campylobacter, and Salmonella. Samples are also collected from healthy animals entering federally inspected abattoirs that process cattle (E. coli and Campylobacter), swine (E. coli and Salmonella), and chicken (E. coli, Campylobacter, and Salmonella). All three bacteria are also examined in retail chicken, and only E. coli testing results are reported for retail beef and pork because Salmonella and Campylobacter bacteria are so rare in these meats. Continue reading
E. coli O157:H7, the cause for the recent, extensive beef recall, is one of the few types of E. coli that is dangerous to humans. It is shed in the feces of many warm-blooded animals, including deer, geese, dogs and cattle. E. coli O157:H7 is harmless to most animals but can be dangerous to humans if contaminated water or undercooked meat is consumed, especially to those with an immature or weakened immune system. Beef can become contaminated by cattle hides and equipment during slaughter and processing or by food handlers in the retail sector.
Potentially dangerous pathogens are uncommon in beef, which is due in large part to the industry focus on combatting E. coli O157:H7. Continue reading

AI – Changing News and Emotions?
"I see the development of technology that can recognize emotions as something that can influence what kind of stories that are told, and how they're told", Deborah G. Johnson said at this yeat's ViSmedia conference.
Deborah G. Johnson was one of three researchers who flew in all the way from the US to speak at this year's ViSmedia conference, "Watching in the Media". University of Bergen wrote an article about the event.
"News media can be capable of collecting detailed information about how readers and viewers react emotionally to stories, which they can use to change and custom make news for readers and viewers, to make them respond the way they want".
Johnson is researching human implications by machines programmed to express emotions. Among other things, she's concerned about what consquences these intelligent machines may have for privacy.
"I'm worried that people will relate to each other in ways that mimic robots' representations of feelings. Representations of empathy, like how a robot's face moves, can become what we consider empathy, and all we expect, even from humans. Himans may not care about whether there is a person behund the expression of empathy.".

The Easiest Way to Bring DNP3 Serial Devices to Ethernet Based Networks
With device servers, raw socket mode allows the physical conversion from a serial interface to an Ethernet interface for serial protocols. The Ethernet-based DNP3 protocol includes the standard TCP/IP header and DNP3 serial frame, which is also referred to as DNP3 over TCP/IP. Coincidentally, by using serial tunneling technology, device servers can add serial-based protocol frames into standard TCP/IP packets to handle protocol conversion between DNP3-serial packets and DNP3-over TCP/IP packets. However, data that passes through device servers cannot be monitored, making it very difficult to identify the root cause of an abnormality during data transmissions.
Monitoring Protocol Conversion
Users who are looking for a more accurate means of monitoring protocol data transmissions to identify disruptions and abnormalities can use a protocol gateway. Protocol gateways not only convert serial-based DNP3 data packets into Ethernet-based packets, they also monitor and record these data packets through a tool built into the web console. The tool also supports debugging and maintenance functions. In addition, users can view the raw data and its routing direction, considerably reducing the commissioning time and debugging process when the system is in operation.
When Cross Conversion is Needed
Two methods can be used to integrate different communication protocols. The first method employs embedded computers, enabling engineers to write and compile software for specific purposes to fulfill customization demands. Such solutions, though, require a comprehensive knowledge of protocols. The second method relies on protocol gateways, featuring plug-and-play integration of configured interfaces for Modbus and DNP3 protocols. With a protocol gateway, users only need to set up the corresponding Modbus commands, DNP3 commands, and the memory exchange configuration; data exchange between the different protocols can be easily implemented once the system is configured. The only drawback is that the protocol gateway solution is pre-configured, meaning it lacks flexibility when new functions need to be added.
Embedded computers can easily play the role of data concentrator. Provided users have the programming ability, embedded computers can be used not only to collect, but also to analyze and filter data, allowing only processed data to be sent to the SCADA system.
Embedded computers, however, are not the best option when the requisite programming skill is lacking, or for systems that need to be implemented in a hurry. In these types of scenarios, a better option is to use protocol gateways that support agent mode, which actively and continuously retrieves data from connected devices. The updated data is stored in the gateway’s internal memory, and the SCADA system can retrieve this data directly from the gateway’s memory.

Rise and shine; China's Jade Rabbit is awake and back in action. After its planned dormancy during the lunar night, the lunar rover has now continued its mission across the moon's surface, and will hopefully reveal more information as it continues its trek.
The Jade Rabbit has had a brilliant marketing campaign. The machine has been anthropomorphized through the use of a blog, "speaking" in the first person to the public.
"Masters are working round the clock," the blog said, according to the LA Times. "If this journey is to be suspended ahead of schedule, I am not fearful. Whether I can be fixed or not, I believe I have left my masters much valuable information and experience."
In January, the Jade Rabbit shut down for two weeks during the lunar night. This particular shut down, while scheduled, was worrying to scientists. The rover had experienced mechanical abnormalities just before the dormancy, and so the researchers weren't sure whether the rover would "wake up" again.
Now, it seems like the Jade Rabbit is wide awake and ready for business. On Thursday morning, the rover was reactivated, and now scientists are busy assessing whether or not the Jade Rabbit can continue with its mission.
"Hi, is anyone there?" the rabbit asked in its first tweet after the two-week dormancy, according to BBC News.
The rover is actually the first to make a soft landing on the lunar surface in nearly four decades. Since its arrival, the Jade Rabbit has surveyed the lunar surface and has conducted experiments by analyzing the lunar soil. Currently, China hopes that the Jade Rabbit survives at least three months on the moon, sending back critical data to scientists on Earth.
TOP 10 FRANCHISES OF 2021


Question: Is the iPhone (or iPad) intuitive?
In the past few months I’ve been consulting with two clients, helping them design interfaces to new products. What do they say they want? “Cool,” “slick,” “wow factor,” “cutting edge,” and, of course, “intuitive.” One of them seems to think the iPhone is the crème de la crème, insisting that everything mimic the iPhone/iPad interface as much as possible. It seems the frenzy the iPhone started has only increased with the launch of the iPad.
I’m not here to say the iPhone and iPad aren’t intuitive, but there are varying evaluations of how user-friendly they really are. One of the key points of Jakob Nielsen’s iPad usability article deals with users (not) knowing where/what to click. To play devil’s advocate for a moment, what’s so hard about knowing where to click? How to use the iPad/iPhone is obvious, isn’t it? Doesn’t everyone know how to use it?
Or is it only obvious if you are already interface-aware?
Permit me to challenge the assumption that some technology is so simple everyone should automatically know what to do with it. I have an 11th edition computer book from a popular publisher sitting on my bookshelf. Its cover, like their other books, is totally yellow, and its title implies it is the the most basic computer book available for ignorant PC users. It also claims to be “best selling.” When I open to to the section on setting the clock in Microsoft Windows, there is a six step process. I’ll cut to the chase. Steps 1 through 4 are instructions on locating and opening the clock panel. Step 6 is clicking the OK button to close the panel. Here’s step 5:
“Manipulate the controls in the Date and Time properties dialog box to change or set the date or time.”
Did you catch that, novice computer user? Just “manipulate the controls!” Simple, right? Well, I’ve scanned this book for any sort of introduction to manipulating basic Windows controls. Guess what? There isn’t one. So the author apparently assumed that every user somehow already understands what controls are, how to recognize them on the screen, and how to manipulate them. Clearly, those controls must be “intuitive,” but that’s not what my experience with novice users shows. I could easily recount a dozen encounters that demonstrate users hadn’t the faintest grasp of interface concepts or standardized UI controls.
So today’s question is: are the iPhone and iPad any different? Are they truly intuitive, or merely intuitive for users already possessing a firm grasp of interface concepts (perhaps having achieved that grasp by experience with multiple predecessor interfaces)? Well, to make things interesting, let’s compare the iPhone against the very first commercial telephone: the rotary dial. By comparison, if the iPhone needs no explanation, then a basic telephone should surely be wholly intuitive. After all, everyone knows how to use a simple telephone, right? Intuitive! No explanation needed! Well, feast your eyes (but not ears) on this original training film from AT&T circa 1927 on How to Use The Dial Phone. I remember using a rotary phone when I was very, very young. It seemed simple enough to me, but when it was introduced, perhaps it wasn’t the easiest technology to understand. Why? In 1927, it would have been considered a very innovative product — much like the iPhone today — and the user base likely had no existing interface awareness. I’m sure the designers thought it was pretty simple. But it apparently took a video tutorial to explain the technology.
So I leave you with these questions to ponder. If something is “intuitive” only because the users have prerequisite interface knowledge, then is it truly intuitive? Perhaps nothing is truly intuitive without some training or conditioning. Yet, as I’ve written before here on Explain Technology, there probably has to be a baseline assumption of interface knowledge that manufacturers can rely on. Apple surely has to draw the line in the sand somewhere. Others have to do the same or they’ll take forever to make it to market with that next innovative product. But stop and think: who is responsible for building users’ interface acumen to bring them up to that line in the sand? The trend suggests the users themselves shoulder that burden.
I predict as more innovative products are moved to market faster, gaps will widen in consumers’ understanding, and the uniquely intuitive interface may be more unattainable than ever, leaving yet more opportunities for explaining technology.

You’ll never forget the moment you picked up that test stick and saw those two pink lines confirming what you likely already expecting… you’re pregnant!
Whether the initial emotion was fear or excitement, or maybe a little bit of both, you might have started to wonder what the next 9 months would hold in store for you. How much is going to stay the same and how much is going to change?
For many expecting moms, whether they were working out pre-pregnancy or not, staying active during this time can seem like a daunting task. Some even wonder to what extent is it even recommended.
In this article, we’ll discuss why prenatal exercise is so important, as well as the best workouts for expecting moms.
Why Working Out During Pregnancy is Important
Pregnancy often breeds the temptation to sit back, take it easy, and cease all physical activity. Especially in that first trimester when morning sickness and fatigue are in full swing.
And while there is definitely a time and place to take it easy and let your body rest, consistent exercise should still be a priority for expecting mothers who aren’t experiencing any pregnancy complications.
Rest assured, you and your baby will be thankful you stayed active during these next 9 months. Benefits of being active include:
Reduced reports of backaches, swelling, bloating, and constipation
Increase in mood and energy levels
Limit excessive weight gain
Make it easier to lose weight after the baby is born
Building strength and endurance for the marathon of labor
Lower the risk of gestational diabetes
Shorten labor time
Lower risk of C-section

Alexandria, Virginia – The Mattress Recycling Council (MRC) has launched a programme designed to mitigate the cost of collecting illegally dumped mattresses in California.
Payments for dumped mattresses can be claimed by agencies such as local governments, permitted solid waste facilities and authorised solid waste operations. They must first register with MRC, and track the number of illegally dumped mattresses and box springs they collect from public rights of way.
MRC has set aside $750,000 to fund this programme in 2016. California implemented MRC’s recycling programme at the end of 2015, and in the long run it should greatly reduce the illegal dumping of mattresses.

She now brings to the area, not only her outstanding vocal talents but, HER OWN NEW BAND as well. Connie's stylings of Motown, R&B, Disco and Pop Standards were characterized as 'comparable to the best in the business' in 'Swinging Big Bands into the Millenium' by Al Raymond. Connie can "really caress a song" said our employer at a November 2008 gig. A voice you will not forget! The Best of Philly Musicians!!


While many of us will be in Las Vegas this weekend, whether it be to wrestle or to take our kids to wrestle in the Freakshow event, one parent will be headed to Miami to break the record for the most 70.3 Ironman Races done in a year. Michael Mendoza, the father of O3T Seth Mendoza, who some are now calling the Patriot Racer is currently tied with the Guinness Book of World Record's most Ironman 70.3 races completed in a year.
The feat itself amazing, but the cause behind it is even greater. The retired US Marine, who was awarded the Silver Star and Navy Cross for his heroics in the Middle East, is running to raise funds for the Semper Fi Fund.
Donate Here: https://fundraising.semperfifund.org/fundraise?fcid=886609
"The Semper Fi Fund provides immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to post 9/11 combat wounded, critically ill and catastrophically injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families, ensuring that they have the resources they need during their recovery and transition back to their communities. We work to ensure that no one is left behind." - Excerpt from the Semper Fi Fund web page.
We met Mike at the Roller Productions Tulsa Nationals coaching his son Seth Mendoza. Seth could easily be considered one of the best wrestlers in the nation at his Age & Weight, while also maintaining high marks in school! We truly believe in the slogan of the O3T, Inspire Greatness, and Mike is setting the bar!
We highly encourage anyone who can afford it to donate to the cause. All his races are self-funded and 100% of the proceeds go to the Semper Fi Fund to support the heroes who go to battle for us. We also ask that you please share the news throughout or amazing wrestling community to help support the cause! Keep it up, Patriot Racer!

Dear Fellow Nova Scotians:
I’d like to provide you with an update on the province=s efforts in dealing with
HINI (human swine influenza). You are receiving this update because we have
identified you, or the people and organizations you serve, as a key stakeholder
who will require information and updates as we move forward.
Public health professionals, in partnership with all district health authorities
across Nova Scotia, continue to monitor and respond to HINI (human swine
influenza). Nova Scotia has a strong public health system, with highly skilled and
caring professionals, and I am confident in our ability to manage this issue.
Public Health offices across the province are getting many inquiries from
workplaces, schools, universities, daycares, long-term care facilities, doctors,
pharmacists, dentists, physiotherapist, travelers and many others. If you do not
have symptoms, it is important to remember that daily activities should continue
as normal. It is safe to go to school, work and socialize. Symptoms to watch for
include fever and cough in combination with fatigue, headache and sore throat.
Fortunately, the confirmed cases of HINI (human swine influenza) in Nova Scotia
to date have been mild, with no need for hospitalization. I fully expect the virus to
spread, and when it does, we can expect to see more severe cases develop. We
will continue to use our established public health practices and our network of
health professionals to manage any additional cases of HINI (human swine
influenza) in the province.
If you have influenza-like symptoms, and have recently traveled to an area
affected by HINI (human swine influenza), like Mexico, or have been in contact
with someone who has HINI (human swine influenza), it is important to avoid
close contact with others for seven days after your symptoms start. This is the
time when the illness can be spread to others. Stay home from work, school,
public places and avoid social settings. Minimize contact with family members as
much as possible. Like any illness, should your symptoms worsen, visit your
doctor or a walk-in clinic and be sure to mention your travel history.
We do not recommend the use of masks by the general population, as they have
not been proven effective in reducing the risk of infection. Furthermore, we do not
recommend the use of anti-virals such as Tamiflu for treating mild illness or for
If you are experiencing influenza-like symptoms, but have not been exposed to
HINI (human swine influenza), treat it as you would normal seasonal influenza.
Stay home, rest and drink plenty of fluids. If it gets worse, again, see a doctor.
You should also be aware that the Public Health Agency of Canada has issued a travel advisory urging all travelers to postpone non-essential travel to Mexico until further notice. Those who will be traveling to an affected area, and have not received an influenza shot, are advised to get one. This is an evolving situation and the information we are providing to you on HINI (human swine influenza) is likely to change. Media will receive updates, mid-afternoon on a daily basis. As well, I will share new information with you as it becomes available. I would ask you to please share this information with your staff, and your stakeholders, through your regular communication channels. I have enclosed a fact sheet and questions and answers that might be helpful. You can also find updates and information about what we=re doing to protect the health and safety of Nova Scotians at www.gov.ns.ca/hpp. Remember, prevention continues to be the best approach to avoid illness. Nova Scotians are advised to wash their hands thoroughly and often, cough into their sleeves and stay away from the public if they are sick. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.org Best regards, Dr. Robert Strang Chief Public Health Officer Province of Nova Scotia

If there’s one word to describe Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond’s time in office as B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, it’s — unrelenting.
Although Turpel-Lafond does not necessarily believe in the concept of legacy, she says there is one thing she hopes British Columbians will remember her for.
“I hope they will say she held people’s feet to the fire and she went to where the kids were,” Turpel-Lafond told Global News in a one-on-one interview last week.
She says when she started as the Representative for Children and Youth, her hair was brown. Now, it is almost entirely grey. Turpel-Lafond says it’s reflective of how challenging and demanding her job can be.
“In this role, you’ve got to be emotionally available to children, youth and their families because you are going to be working with them at some of the hardest things they have ever faced. So the emotional toll is definitely a toll, but it deepens you as a person and it’s a good thing. It’s been something I have been very privileged to do.”
It’s a job Turpel-Lafond has been doing for a decade. In that time, she went from being shunned from government offices to becoming a strong voice for some the most troubled kids in the province and a force to reckon with for the Ministry of Children and Family Development.
With her mandate coming to its end on Nov. 17, her replacement has not yet been announced.
But Turpel-Lafond hopes someone will step up and take on her job soon.
“My office is packed up and the dust is starting to collect,” she said. “This is not an office where there can be a gap, because there are about 50 to 200 cases on any given day that require pretty immediate attention.”
In her ten years in office, Turpel-Lafond has dealt with some 17,000 cases of in-crisis children and youth. No small task considering that at the beginning of her first term, it was a major struggle to get any information on those cases. She says she was not allowed into government offices and was not allowed to talk to ministry staff.
“I had to sue them to get records,” Turpel-Lafond said.
She could also barely get a budget to do her job.
“Coming in, I would say, we were certainly at a ‘D’ on my first day. There were no illusions, no grace period. There was a ‘welcome aboard and good luck.’ At the end of the term, I think we are in a position, where we are at a ‘C.’ They have moved up.”
She says it has taken ten years and it’s been tough, but she is proud of one major accomplishment.
“I think we have changed the culture: British Columbians know more about how the system really works and they expect to know the details. People have become accustomed to knowing what’s actually happening in the lives of these kids and it’s not about government communiques, it has to be about real evidence.”
During her time in office, Turpel-Lafond has been through four different ministers, five deputies, two premiers and an acting premier.
But even though she has received a lot of pushback from the government, she says it hasn’t always been doom and gloom for her office.
There were 18 months in her ten-year tenure, when Mary McNeil was in charge of the ministry, where, as Turpel-Lafond puts it, “the sun shone every single day.”
“Mary was a remarkable minister,” said Turpel-Lafond.
“She was a mother of four and a grandmother. She was not afraid to go back to the Cabinet and approve things,” she said. “She put the ministry back together in 18 months. Every single day was a delight: to come to work and work collaboratively. The dynamic changed and we got a lot done.”
Turpel-Lafond says things slowed down after McNeil left and was replaced with current minister Stephanie Cadieux.
Turpel-Lafond and Cadieux have had a tenuous relationship in the last couple of years, but Turpel-Lafond says Cadieux has been good to work with on issues that they see eye-to-eye on, like adoption.
“However, government often feels quite allergic to oversight and they do want to treat an independent officer as a member of the opposition at times.”
Turpel-Lafond says two reports stand out for her the most in her 10-year tenure as the Representative for Children and Youth.
One is about the plight of a young person, the other is about a more systematic problem within the ministry.
The report on the life and death of a young Aboriginal woman, only ever identified as Paige, was a sobering wake-up call for many in B.C.
Paige died of an overdose at the age of 19 near Oppenheimer Park in Vancouver, less than a year after aging out of government’s care.
Turpel-Lafond’s 2015 report, strongly titled “Abuse, indifference and a young life discarded,” detailed how Paige survived and coped on her own on the Downtown Eastside for years.
“I outlined in detail, with the support of her family, what her life was like and how we can juxtapose the life of this young person to some 200 kids like her who live in Vancouver and have been basically abandoned by the child welfare system,” said Turpel-Lafond. “This was a very hard report to do.”

On a larger scale, she says her report on the systemic issues around staffing at the Ministry of Children and Family Development is, in many ways, a highlight of her time in office.
The report titled “The Thin Front Line” showed the province’s child protection services were understaffed and pushed to the limit. It also called on the Ministry of Children and Family Development to bring in more front-line workers to meet child safety standards.
The report showed frontline workers reported chronic levels of stress, impossibly high workloads, too much organizational change within the ministry without proper support, and the new computer system launched in 2012 that added more complexity and instability to the system.
But, Turpel-Lafond says, there is a lot more work to be done.
“I have pushed very hard on the issue of kids leaving care at 19 and being sent to the curb,” she said. “The government has announced an investment of $1 million to improve the situation, but the Vancouver Foundation said they need at least $57 million to make it happen. So we are not there yet.”
She says a short survey of young adults in Victoria’s much-maligned homeless tent city found that almost half of the young adults there have gone through child welfare system. Most of them were between the ages of 19 and 30.
“I see that we are taking kids through the child welfare system and sending them into lifelong poverty and crime,” Turpel-Lafond said.
She hopes the issue will remain the top of mind for whoever steps in to fill her shoes.
Asked if she is confident things will continue to improve, Turpel-Lafond sounds unsure.
But she also knows how much work and time it takes to change the system.
And that, according to Turpel-Lafond, will take cooperation between British Columbians continuing to insist that kids matter, media maintaining the interest in their stories and a strong, independent office that will continue to report neutrally.
As to what’s next for her, Turpel-Lafond says she will be taking a much needed break to focus on being a mom for her four kids.
That does not mean her public service career is over, however.
“The worst thing I can see is someone who is an independent officer and at the end of their career, they sign up for a big government job. Something has gone very wrong if that’s the case.”
But she is leaving her post as the Representative for Children and Youth for good.

With two kids under 5, I am always looking for quick, easy meals to get on the dinner table. Slow cooker recipes are a popular cooking method for me because I can put the ingredients in the crock pot in the morning and forget about it until dinner time. However, I tend to get stuck in a rut with the slow cooker, making the same beef recipes time and again. Recently, the April issue of Family Fun magazine had a recipe for Pork-Rib Ragu that looked like a great alternative to my normal slow cooker repertoire.
As with most slow cooker dishes, this recipe is very easy to prep and prepare. One recommendation that I have that the recipe does not suggest is to brown the pork ribs before placing in the slow cooker, it helps the meat to retain its juices and flavor. The ingredients were readily available, with the exception of the pork ribs. The only baby back ribs available in my area were far more than the 4 lbs required and very expensive. Spareribs were additionally unavailable so I purchased country ribs. I followed the recipe suggestion and served the dish over egg noodles.
The taste of this dish was excellent. However, as with most pork slow cooker recipes that leave the bone-in, I was left with small pieces of pork bone in the finished product. While, this would be a minor problem for an adult, for a child it is a choking hazard. In the future for this recipe I would use a pork butt roast, which would have the same great pork flavor without the bone fragments. I will say that the flavor of this dish was great and would be something that my family would enjoy in the future made with the pork roast substitution. This is definitely a dish I would try again with the above mentioned modifications.
For the recipe go to Family Fun Pork-Rib Ragu.
