Mrs. Yeager’s handout of college prep vocab words
was meant as an onerous task for a neophyte, a germane lexicon,
but I ascertained first what had been my uncle’s initials: S A T.
I heard no more of the lecture, repeated silently his moniker.
Was this (a) auspicious; (b) ominous; (c) merely benign?
My mother’s only story: how my uncle, between all-
night shifts at the post office and arduous college courses
used to rouse and feed an infant me, his hand to my mouth.
Otherwise, she kept a silence in which I learned ambiguous,
lugubrious, and truncate. Through my uncle’s absence
I memorized doleful, evanescent, and curtailed by heart.
“Choose the best answer from the following.” The sentence suggests
there is a best answer for an empty mouth. Mortality is
(a) conditional; (b) congenital; (c) incompatible; (d) superfluous.
Death is (a) insatiable; (b) inexorable; (c) ineffable; (d) immutable.
I am (a) the niece of no body; (b) death’s little dilettante;
(c) consanguine with hoar frost; (d) kin to white noise.
The author’s work can be found in the volume, Whiteout.
Think about how the poem made you feel. Were you more attracted to the novelty of the poem’s structure, or the depth of the story itself?
May you live out another beautiful poem in the collection of your life today, and we’ll see you again tomorrow.

Gravitational Waves Reveal Neutron Star Merger
Guillaume Dubus,1 coordinator of France's National High-Energy Astrophysics Program,2 does not beat about the bush: "This is just huge!," he says, incredulous. On October 16, the LIGO-Virgo international collaboration announced that it had observed the first-ever merger of two neutron stars when it detected the gravitational waves emitted during this cataclysmic event. Coming after several observations of mergers of two black holes in recent months, this is yet another demonstration of the enormous potential of the burgeoning science of gravitational astronomy, which earned the French physicists Alain Brillet and Thibault Damour this year's CNRS Gold Medal. But that’s not all. Thanks to the accurate localization of the source of the phenomenon by the Virgo and LIGO interferometers, ground- and space-based astronomical telescopes were able to follow up and observe this unprecedented cosmic event at all wavelengths. As a result, several decades-old mysteries have been solved and a spate of fresh discoveries made, to which more than 150 French researchers have contributed, alongside the scientists of the Virgo collaboration—proof that astronomers have now fully entered the era of multi-messenger astronomy.
The wave of August 17
It all began on August 17, when the three LIGO-Virgo interferometers detected the signal of a passing gravitational wave. Once again, their extraordinary sensitivity enabled them to record the tiny distortions in space-time caused by an ultra high-energy astrophysical event. Yet this time it was not the merger of two black holes but that of two neutron stars, ultra-dense bodies with the mass of a star but a radius of 10 to 15 kilometers, exclusively made up of neutrons (one of the constituents of atomic nuclei), and both resulting from the explosion of a massive star.
As Benoît Mours,3 Principal Investigator for Virgo in France, explains, "for several tens of seconds we recorded an extremely clear gravitational signal, corresponding to the coalescence of two neutron stars, located 130 million light-years from Earth and with a mass lying somewhere between 1.1 and 1.6 times the mass of the Sun, that finally merged at 12:41 and 4 seconds, Coordinated Universal Time."
"I'm very happy to have witnessed this event," says Alain Brillet, the designer of the Virgo interferometer, which in its 'Advanced' configuration that came into operation on August 1 has multiplied the spatial resolution of LIGO-Virgo by a factor of around ten. "After those of black holes, the merger of two neutron stars was clearly the next decisive step, proving that gravitational interferometry really is opening up a new window onto the Universe." At the same time, Thibault Damour, a major contributor to the analytical developments that made it possible to describe the precise shape of the gravitational signals sought by LIGO-Virgo, is upbeat about the prospects opened up by this new detection: "Using gravitational waves, our instruments are now sensitive enough to measure the deformation of bodies caused by mutual tidal effects, which will enable us to probe the detailed properties of the highly exotic matter that makes up neutron stars."
A proof on a silver platter
But more was to come. On August 17, exactly 1.7 seconds after the LIGO-Virgo detectors captured their remarkable signal, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in turn recorded what specialists call a short gamma-ray burst. In itself, there was nothing particularly unusual about this: such powerful bursts of ultra high-energy photons, which are detected by Fermi roughly once a week, have been observed since the 1960s, and it has been known for 25 years that they have an extragalactic origin. Except that the coincidence of two independent detections in the same region of the sky could only mean one thing: short gamma-ray bursts are caused by the merger of two neutron stars. "What was just a hypothesis is now a certainty based on a confidence level rarely encountered in astronomy," Dubus explains.
Ironically, after several decades of doubt, the cosmos handed this piece of evidence to astronomers on a plate: although mergers of neutron stars emit gravitational waves in all directions, the gamma-ray burst that follows is normally confined to a cone-shaped beam measuring just a few degrees across. "We were incredibly lucky that the Earth just happened to be in its path," he adds. "It's amazing how cooperative Nature was!"
Astronomy on the global agenda
As always when Fermi detects a gamma-ray burst, an alert was immediately sent out to other observatories around the world, so that they could attempt to observe the phenomenon optically over a wide range of wavelengths. However, Fermi's resolution of around 1 000 square degrees meant that for astronomers it would have been like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the alert would probably have had little impact. Fortunately however, not only was LIGO-Virgo able to reduce this area to a mere 30 square degrees, but it also provided an accurate estimate of the distance of the phenomenon, encouraging astronomers the world over to leap to their telescopes.
And twelve hours after the merger, by the time night had fallen in South America, the 1M2H team using the American Swope telescope in Chile announced they had discovered a new bright point of light located precisely in the NGC4993 galaxy, 130 million light-years from Earth. Other teams immediately confirmed the finding. Observations continued for around two weeks during which astronomers saw the emission shift from blue to red and gradually fade, while radio emissions were recorded about one week after the beginning of the event. There could be no doubt. This was the first time that a kilonova had ever been observed.
The first kilonova observation
So just what is a kilonova? According to numerical simulations by astrophysicists, when two neutron stars merge, part of the very hot, dense matter of which they are made is ejected from the system, giving rise to light emission of a very specific kind. "Infrared emissions detected in 2013 were thought to be from a kilonova, but the observation was only very indirect," Dubus says. "This time, we were able to follow the entire sequence at every wavelength, thanks to an unprecedented effort by astronomers."
Which was just as well, since obtaining evidence that this phenomenon is real is of vital importance. As Dubus explains, "according to models, a host of nuclear reactions take place inside the very neutron-rich ejecta, forming heavy elements through a nucleosynthesis mechanism unlike any other."
In a word, kilonovae are the best way of explaining the synthesis of elements heavier than iron in the Universe. The problem was that, until now, kilonovae only existed in theory. "It's pretty amazing to think that the gold in the wedding ring you might be wearing was formed in the ejecta from the merger of two neutron stars," Dubus smiles.
So in just a few days, thanks to a series of observations on an unprecedented scale in terms of the resources deployed, astronomers have in one fell swoop achieved a first in gravitational astronomy, confirmed the origin of a phenomenon observed for more than fifty years, and solved the puzzle of heavy elements. And last but not least, LIGO-Virgo's very accurate estimate of the distance of the source, coupled with the measurement of the redshift of the associated electromagnetic emissions, has provided cosmologists with a new way of measuring the rate of expansion of the Universe. This could eventually help to refine the widely varying estimates of the value of this parameter, derived from data obtained by different methods. Nearly 30 years after he first presented his project for a gravitational interferometer, Brillet is still in awe: "These results, which mark the birth of multi-messenger astronomy, prove that our work was not in vain. And they provide our successors with 100 more years of work!" Huge indeed!

From 2007, Araba Koomson has risen as a result of the ranks in a remarkably demanding newsroom of The Multimedia Team Limited to come to be an editor.
But her journey hasn’t been a jolly trip, she had to break numerous stereotypes about gals in journalism.
Recounting her early times at the media establishment, Miss out on Koomson said, “I walked in with trepidation because I didn’t know what to hope. I was fearful mainly because I was coming to a newsroom loaded with men and women I contact ‘giants’.”
On the other hand, Skip Koomson did not allow panic get the much better component of her, rather, she exhibited her greatest and dutifully discovered all relevant cues from these ‘giants’ as she embarked on the journey to entirely realise her journalism aspiration.
“At the time, we hadn’t experienced the technology created as it is now. We were being applying a really cumbersome tape recorder which became a problem from time to time mainly because you would want to job interview somebody and because of the bulkiness of the recorder, it puts them off.”
Skip Koomson, while encountered quite a few troubles on her road to accomplishment, she did not permit them discourage her from breaking a great deal of status quo along the way.
Right now, she needs more youthful ladies to occur soon after her, walking in the footprint that she hopes to depart powering someday.
“My situation is that do not glance back, you must generally experience forward, since there are new possibilities each individual day.”
Celebrating 25 many years of excellent and impactful journalism, The Multimedia Team Confined acknowledges the contributions of focused journalists. And the likes of Overlook Koomson are worth mentioning as her efforts have included to the lovely tapestry woven by the media conglomerate in the region.
The Multimedia Group, therefore, celebrates Araba Koomson with a quite major “Ayekoo” and looks forward to more impactful tales from this irreplaceable member of its workforce.

A 23-year-old woman has been sentenced to death by stoning in Sudan, the second such case in recent months, prompting an outcry from human rights defenders.
Laila Ibrahim Issa Jamool is said to be currently shackled at the ankles in detention and with her six-month old baby at her side.
Rights groups say the child is in poor health and that Mrs Jamool is in need of psycho-social support for her distress.
She and her husband have been undergoing a divorce session in court for the past one year following estrangement 18 months after their marriage in 2008.
According to campaign group The Strategic initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA), her husband charged her with adultery (Zina) before the birth of her child in March 2012.
With divorce proceedings still on, her husband filed yet another case for her to be returned to his home by power of legal force (known as Baitaltaa, according to militant application of Islamic Sharia law).
SIHA says Mrs Jamool was denied a chance to have a lawyer to represent her, as provided for by both international and Sudanese law where such a sentence is involved.
The group says that Mrs Jamool faced an unfair trial since article 135 of Sudan’s Criminal procedure code stipulates that a defendant is entitled to legal representation in any criminal case that carries a sentence of 10 years or greater, imprisonment, amputation or death.
This is not an isolated case in Sudan. In April this year, Intisar Sharif Abdullah was sentenced to death by stoning over adultery claims but was eventually released "due to lack of evidence" following international pressure.
Sudan is one of seven countries where death by stoning is a punishment and in many cases, women are forced to confess under duress and physical torture.
The rights group is demanding the immediate and unconditional release of Mrs Jamool and her child.
“The victimisation of women as the result of complex socio-economic and cultural relationships must be stopped and Sudan must urgently adopt measure and laws that protect and respect the dignity and the human rights of Sudanese women," said SIHA director Hala Alkarib in a media statement.

(Adds details about PNG LNG Project, oil prices)
Jan 23 (Reuters) - Papua New Guinea-focused Oil Search Ltd reported a 12.6 percent rise in fourth-quarter revenue on Tuesday, supported by strong output from the PNG LNG (liquefied natural gas) project and improving oil prices.
Revenue for the three months ended Dec. 31 rose to $389 million from $345.6 million in the year-ago quarter, in line with analysts' estimate of $390 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Oil Search said it expects 2018 full-year production to be in the range of 28.5 million to 30.5 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe), against 2017 production of 30.31 mmboe.
The ExxonMobil-led PNG LNG project produced at an annual rate of 8.3 million tonnes in the quarter, 20 percent above its nameplate capacity, the company said.
"Fourth quarter production of 7.59 mmboe took full-year production to 30.31 mmboe, which was at the upper end of our guidance range and an all-time record," it said.
Oil Search said talks with its partners ExxonMobil Corp and Total SA on expanding the project had progressed and the companies expect to present their plan to the PNG government early this year.
They aim to make a final investment decision on the expansion in 2019, Oil Search said. The timing is a bit later than Oil Search has previously flagged but in line with analysts' expectations.
The rise in revenue was also underpinned by a 16 percent rise in crude oil prices in the December quarter.
Quarterly sales volume, however, fell 6 percent to 7.67 mmboe, Oil Search added.
Shares of Oil Search climbed 0.4 percent in early trade compared with a 0.5 percent rise in the benchmark index. (Reporting by Chandini Monnappa in Bengaluru; editing by Richard Pullin)

Representatives of the companies Pfizer and BioNTech revealed on Monday (9) to the BBC in London that a preliminary analysis made with the first vaccine against the coronavirus shows that it is able to prevent more than 90% of people from contracting covid-19.
Describing today’s date as “a great day for science and humanity”, the developers revealed that the companies will apply for emergency approval for the use of the vaccine by the end of this month.
The result makes the U.S. pharmaceutical company and the German biotechnology laboratory, BioNTech, the first drug manufacturers to officially present the success of a large-scale clinical trial, in which 43.5 thousand people were tested in six countries, including in Brazil.
How does the Pfizer vaccine work?
Scientists take a part of the virus’ genetic code, RNA, which guides the production of proteins in cells, and coat it with a lipid to be able to enter the body’s cells.
This is injected into the patient.
The biological molecule enters the cells and tells them to produce the coronavirus “spike” protein. This causes the immune system to produce antibodies and activate T cells, which will destroy infected cells.

Why you need to have intercourse ambitions. Professionals recommend how to cause them to reduce stress levels
After an extended, arduous time at the office, meals and a great snooze appear to be really the only a few things regarding the minds of working experts today. Studies claim that a beneficial night’s rest and a calm fantasy can flake out your head and invite you to definitely stay fresh the overnight. In reality, research carried out because of the University of Montreal in 2007 figured about eight percent of males and women, who have been an element of the research, had goals with a few content that is sexual them. Based on psychiatrist and sexologist, Dr Pavan Sonar, “Sex dreams is just a fast Eye Movement (REM) sleep activity this is certainly involuntary & most prone to take place whenever you are intimately deprived or your regularity of genuine intimate experience is less. As it is the same as a sex, it really is fulfilling and joy creating. ”
Relationship counsellor and composer of the video game of Change, Geeta Ramakrishnan, adds, “While dream is an interest still under research, with no conclusive evidence, they truly are mostly named a manifestation of the subconscious state. Therefore, if intercourse dreams indirectly provide a feature of de-stress, there isn’t any damage or pity if it will not be another crutch. Intercourse dreams offer a deeper meaning to your suffering in life and it has nothing in connection with intercourse it self. Hang on to your understanding, the thoughts for the fantasy. Enjoy, if it’s a beneficial one. Introspect, when it is causing you to uncomfortable. It’s probably suggesting something you don’t want to manage. Such introspection will work for your mental wellbeing too. ”
Just how do intercourse aspirations happen?
Goals in many cases are subconscious expressions of unfulfilled desires and unexpressed thoughts.
“It could possibly be a marriage going astray in the long run, or even an issue that is stressful work. A intercourse fantasy is a medium to vent suppressed emotions subconsciously. You can easily, consequently, train your brain in attaining this result, in the event that you consciously want it, ” says Ramakrishnan. Besides, Dr Sonar believes, at times if you keep your mind engaged in sexual fantasies of what you would like to dream repeatedly over the day — and before bedtime — it is possible to actually dream it.
Best for bonding Dr Sonar usually encourages partners, who possess closeness dilemmas, to have pleasure in intercourse fantasies by inducing it.
“This helps them concentrate on the partner and arouse their attention towards them, which in some instances may are almost lost. Works out, the time and effort they place behind getting intimate not just assists them flake out, but inaddition it helps form a brand new bond with their partner. It will help in rekindling desire that is sexual in upping your intercourse hormones by mental stimulation, ” he says. Another benefit for singles and individuals maybe not thinking about pursuing an intimate relationship with some body is that it could make one feel more content. Including further, Ramakrishnan claims, “Some dreams involve pleasure, ecstasy and will end having a rest orgasm, while many may be sexually violent and nightmarish in general. Often, a majority of these are repeated. And although desires disappear once you get up, the impression some times still lingers on, so, figure out how to tread with care. ”

RAFAEL VAN DER VAART hasilluminated the Premier League since his arrival on transferdeadline day – and the Dutchman conjured up yet another highlight yesterday.
It was not Van der Vaart’s goal – a fifth in four appearances at White Hart Lane – which defined this match, though.
It was the moment, 10 minutes from time, when the gifted midfielder exploded with frustration and took a wild kick at an advertising board, earning a yellow card and risking fractures to his twinkling toes.
That said it all about Everton’s performance, a masterclass in gaining an away point against vibrant opposition.
It was the failure of a linesman to award him a corner that saw Van der Vaart reach the end of his fuse, but it was David Moyes who had struck the Swan Vesta in the first place.
Without being overly negative, the visitors had suffocated Spurs elusive Lillywhite Pimpernel – with his countryman, World Cup final villain Johnny Heitinga, the mosteffective strangler.
Gareth Bale, the midweek hat-trick hero of a glorious defeat in the San Siro, was equally stifled by Everton skipper Phil Neville – who played for England 59 times and could still shout for his country on the basis of an ear-splitting display of leadership yesterday.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp will celebrate two years in charge at White Hart Lane tomorrow, having propelled the club from the bottom of the Premier League to the grandest stages in Europe.
Yet for all his side’s class, squad depth and resilience – they keep roaring back from behind – maintaining their status as a Champions League club will remain a tough ask for Redknapp.
For Everton this was an excellent point, a fourth unbeaten game, and another positive step after last week’s Merseyside derby triumph.
Leighton Baines gave the Moyes boys a 17th-minute lead with an outstanding free-kick – only for Tim Howard’s blunder to gift Van der Vaart an equaliser three minutes later.
After that it was a tale of toil and denial for Spurs – leaving Redknapp to admit Everton had done a good job on his side.
Redknapp said: “Rafa had to be booked for kicking the hoarding, you can’t do that. He over-reacted and got a booking.
“Everton make it hard for you, they played the extra man in midfield and Heitinga got around him. He’s his team-mate in the international side, and knows him. It was a really good Everton away performance.”
Redknapp had recalled Wilson Palacios to his midfield – to placate the Honduran’s angry mother, he had claimed.
Yet Palacios was booked after just nine minutes for impeding Yakubu as Evertonattempted a breakaway – and was hauled off at half-time, with Redknapp admitting he feared a red was on its way.
Old Mother Palacios might now be swinging her handbag in the direction of ref Mike Jones, who was a little quick on the draw. But when Younes Kaboul committed a needless foul on Yakubu on the edge of the box soon after, the consequences were far more dire for Spurs.
Moyes admitted that Baines was only on free-kick duty in the absence of the injured Mikel Arteta, which turned out to be something of a blessing in disguise as the England left-back curled home an effort that Heurelho Gomes hardly managed to react to.
The Everton boss admitted: “I thought their wall was too tall, with Peter Crouch and a few others in there. I was saying: ‘Don’t try to go over the wall.’ I was wrong!”
But three minutes later, Alan Hutton sent over a deep cross from the right, Howard missed his punch and Crouch, beyond the far post, chested into the path of Van der Vaart who fired into an empty net from a yard.
Luka Modric sent a low 20-yarder just wide and Spurs had a penalty shout turned down when Neville seemed to nudge Crouch.
The rest of the afternoon was a nightmare for England’s lanky frontman.
He spurned one decent chance before the break – a header straight at Howard – and two more soon after the restart, dragging one effort wide and seemingly stubbing his toe on the ball soon after.
After this third chance went begging, Spurs fans started singing for sub Roman Pavlyuchenko and Crouch reacted with asarcastic round of applause.
Then Van der Vaart launched the best example of hoarding rage since ex-Newcastle nutcase Temuri Ketsbaia was in his pomp.
There was a half-smile of satisfaction on Moyes’ lips, which said it all. Job done.

After a slow crawl through the lower federal courts, the fate of President Obama’s long-delayed immigration programs is finally before the Supreme Court. On Friday, the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to hear their appeal of a trial judge’s order halting the programs. Nevertheless, because of a quirk of the Supreme Court’s scheduling process, the fate of these programs — or, at least — the question of whether they will be implemented while Obama is still in office, could rest with one of the justices who is least likely to be sympathetic to the undocumented immigrants who will benefit from the programs: Justice Antonin Scalia.
The Story So Far
Last February, Judge Andrew Hanen, a federal judge with a history of advocacy for harsher immigration policies, halted the creation of a new program known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (“DAPA”) as well as the expansion of the existing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Together, these two changes to immigration policy were expected to allow 4.9 million undocumented immigrants to temporarily reside in the country without fear of deportation.
Since that decision, the Obama administration has had a string of extraordinarily bad luck in a federal court of appeals. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit is a conservative court, but its judges do not always vote conservatively in immigration cases. Indeed, in the most recent major immigration case to be decided by the full court, the judges voted 9-6 to strike down an ordinance that effectively made it a crime for undocumented immigrants to rent a home. Nevertheless, when the Justice Department sought a stay of Hanen’s order suspending DAPA and expanded DACA, they drew a three-judge panel dominated by two of the dissenters in that last immigration case. Those two dissenters, Judges Jerry Smith and Jennifer Elrod, joined a 2-1 opinion refusing to stay Hanen’s order.
Some time later, the Justice Department brought an appeal of Hanen’s order to the Fifth Circuit, expecting it to be heard by a different panel. Yet the three-judge panel selected to hear this appeal also included Smith and Elrod. Judges Smith and Elrod predictably did not change their mind between their two opinions backing Hanen’s order.
So long as Hanen’s order remains in effect, DAPA and expanded DACA cannot be implemented. Yet DOJ’s efforts to stay or lift that order have been beset by unusual delays. As a general rule, a party seeking to stay a federal trial court’s order must ask the trial judge for a stay before it seeks one from a court of appeals. Hanen, however, delayed his decision on DOJ’s request for a stay for weeks. Then, at the court of appeals level, Smith and Elrod took months to release their second opinion siding with Hanen, even though there was never any doubt who they would back in that opinion. That led dissenting Judge Carolyn King to suggest that Smith and Elrod had behaved improperly. “I have a firm and definite conviction that a mistake has been made,” King wrote in her dissent. “That mistake has been exacerbated by the extended delay that has occurred in deciding this ‘expedited’ appeal. There is no justification for that delay.”
Race Against The Clock
The reason why these delays matter, beyond the fact that they extend the period that Hanen’s order is in effect without being fully reviewed by higher courts, is that the Supreme Court’s docket for the term that ends this June is filling up. That’s why the solicitor general raced to file DOJ’s petition asking the Court to hear this case less than two weeks after Smith and Elrod handed down their most recent opinion, despite the fact that the Supreme Court’s rules give the Justice Department 90 days to file such a petition. If the justices consider this petition on an ordinary schedule, it is likely, if not entirely certain, that they will be able to schedule the case to be heard this term — in that event, a decision is likely to be handed down in June of 2016.
It is far from clear that the case will be considered on an ordinary schedule, however. Typically, the party that won in the court of appeals — in this case, a coalition of states led by Texas — must file their brief opposing DOJ’s petition within 30 days of when the case is placed on the Court’s docket. The Court’s rules, however, permit Texas to seek an extension of its time to file such a brief. If such an extension is granted, it becomes very unlikely that the case will be decided in the current term — resolution of the case will likely be delayed until at least June of 2017. Given the fact that Texas benefits from the status quo, they have a strong incentive to seek an extension for the sole purpose of delay.
Under the Court’s rules, such a request for an extension ordinarily “may be acted on by the Clerk in the first instance.” After the clerk rules on whether to grant the extension, “any party aggrieved by the Clerk’s action may request that the application be submitted to a Justice or to the Court.”
So here’s where things get interesting. If the clerk decides to grant the extension, DOJ can ask that the full Court reconsider that decision. That, at least, leaves the timing of this case up to the five justices most likely to be sympathetic to their position. If the clerk denies the extension, however, then Texas can ask a single justice to reconsider that decision. And the Circuit Justice for the Fifth Circuit — the justice who ordinarily hears similar procedural motions that arise out of the Fifth Circuit — is Justice Scalia.
Should this case be decided on the merits, the Justice Department has good reason to be optimistic that they will prevail. Shortly after Obama announced the DACA program in 2012, the Court handed down an opinion emphasizing the executive branch’s “broad discretion” in immigration matters. “Discretion in the enforcement of immigration law embraces immediate human concerns,” the Court explained. “Unauthorized workers trying to support their families, for example, likely pose less danger than alien smugglers or aliens who commit a serious crime.”
This opinion was authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy and joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, both of whom are Republicans.
One justice that did not join this opinion, however, was Scalia. Scalia, moreover, included a dig at the DACA program in his dissent. Thus, if he has the power to decide Texas’s likely request for delay, he will have the power to leave his preferred policy outcome in place for at least another year.

Recent vulnerabilities in LTE and 5G networks found by researchers might lead to data security issues for users. Side effects of this new threat include potential attacks that are capable of identifying user information, which websites they visited and even altering their DNS traffic.
The threats were discovered by researchers David Rupprecht, Katharina Kohls, Thorsten Holz, and Christina Pöpper of Ruhr-Universität Bochum and New York University Abu Dhabi, who collectively published their findings on alter-attack.net.
As per the research,there are three types of attacks which were found on the data link layer of 4G LTE.
The first two are passive attacks that execute identity mapping and a method to perform website fingerprinting. The third one, however, is an active attack, which the researchers have chosen to call "aLTEr."
While in a Passive attack the perpetrator can not interfere with the network he is attacking, an aLTEr attack uses a separate device via which the attacker can simulate the original network and trick the victim into revealing confidential information. However, this method happens to be rather complex as the attacker redirects network connections by performing DNS spoofing which exploits a specification flaw in LTE.
What do you mean by DNS Spoofing? It is a type of attack that exploits vulnerabilities in the domain name system (DNS) to divert Internet traffic away from legitimate servers and towards fake ones.
However, who can these attacks happen to, is the bigger question. According to the paper, the attack can happen to anyone but it is most likely to happen to a "persons of special interest (e.g., politicians, journalists, etc.)"
Researchers conducted the attacks in an experimental setup in a controlled environment and concluded that the executing the 'aLTEr' attack is a herculean task. However, with some engineering effort in the real world scenario, the attack can also be performed outside on LTE.
Coming to 5G, it may also be vulnerable to these kinds of attacks, even though the network supports authenticated encryption. This is because the feature is optional, and carriers might not choose to implement it.

Hundreds attend opening of Goodwill store in Rincon
Hundreds of people stood in line today for the opening of a Goodwill store in Rincon, which created 25 new, full-time jobs and includes a center to help people find jobs.
The store has 11,000 square feet of retail space and another 9,000 square feet of space devoted to a career center and to employees who accept donated goods.
"This is very exciting to see the support in the community," said Mohsen Badran, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of the Coastal Empire.
He said the store helps shoppers find "treasures," or quality things at reduced prices; is a place where people can easily donate household items and clothing; and has a center to help people find jobs.
The not-for-profit organization helps people with disabilities and other barriers to employment to live independently and become employed. But the jobs center will be open to anyone who needs help finding a job, not just the disabled, said Brenda Pollen, vice president of mission service for Goodwill.
Workers at the center will help people apply for jobs, create resumes, prepare for interviews, take GED classes, study financial literacy and learn English as a second language or Spanish as a second language, Pollen said.
Free computer and Internet access allows applicants to view job postings and submit their job histories online.
The store, which is next to Fred's in the Ford Howard Shopping Plaza, has a donations center that will be staffed with people who can help carry donated goods into the building.
The store will have specials, such as a day when everything with a green tag is marked down 50 percent. Pollen said customers can sign up for a preferred shopper's card that offers points, additional discounts and emails about special sales.
Pollen said Goodwill came to Effingham County 18 years ago, helping people find jobs. The store is the first Goodwill store in the county, she said.
She said the poor economy has hurt donations slightly, but also has increased the number of shoppers.
Wesley Corbitt, city manager of Rincon, said the store helps the area's economy while also helping people find jobs.
"This is a big organization that helps people help themselves and that's always good," he said.
Badran said the store needs people to donate goods and to shop. The group also needs employers in the area to list job openings and what skills they need.
Connie Mitchell, a shopper from Guyton who was at the store with her 10-month-old grandson, Brooks Sturgess, said she shops at Goodwill stores in Statesboro and Savannah. She said it's nice to have one in Rincon.
"It's so nice here and handy, and it has a wide variety of things," she said. She also is glad to have a close place to take donations.
The store is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.

The wind turbine project planned off the coast of Montauk is dead in the water, at least for now.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management confirmed this week that Deepwater Wind has asked the federal agency to halt its review of the project for the foreseeable future.
Dubbed the South Fork Wind Farm, the 15-turbine project would be located in the Atlantic Ocean 35 miles east of Montauk.
BOEM has confirmed in a missive that the “environmental review of the Deepwater Wind’s construction and operations plan (COP) is currently paused by request of Deepwater Wind.” The document on BOEM letterhead is signed by a BOEM official whose name has been redacted. However Stephen Boutwell, a spokesman for BOEM, confirmed the document’s accuracy Monday.
Ørsted, which acquired Deepwater Wind, indicated to BOEM that a revised COP will be filed. If that proves to be the case, BOEM’s time-consuming review process will commence anew. Given the current time frame, however, it seems highly unlikely Deepwater will meet its goal of coming online in 2022.
The document stated that it does “not anticipate significant changes to the COP.” The draft environmental impact statement “will likely be released this fall and there will be a public comment period on the Draft EIS.” The public comment period will be 45 days.
Boutwell said BOEM is not privy to what Deepwater would do next or whether the project will be permanently shelved. “You’d have to ask Deepwater that,” he said.
In the winter of 2018, Clint Plummer, Deepwater Wind’s vice president of development, repeatedly told the East Hampton Town Board and said at public gatherings and hearings, that Deepwater had to begin a lengthy review process by June of that year if it were to meet its goals of coming online by 2022. He urged the town board to grant an easement for Deepwater to bring its cable ashore in Wainscott, stating the review couldn’t begin without one.
The town board as well as the board of trustees balked, but Deepwater announced it would begin the review process, called an Article 7, anyway.
Aileen Kenney, a Deepwater Wind vice president, and Plummer said in April 2018 that Deepwater Wind needed the easements before it could submit permit applications to the more than 20 federal and state entities involved; Councilman Jeffrey Bragman, an attorney, debunked that statement. He is among those who have always been dubious of the numbers Deepwater has floated.
“I have felt for a while that Deepwater was not nearly on schedule, even from the Article 7 review,” Bragman said. “I don’t think the economics of the project work.”
The town board then issued a conditional approval of the easement subject to review. The town trustees have yet to rule on the matter.
Kenney said if the company met its original construction schedule, the wind farm could begin generating electricity in 2022 and provide power to some 50,000 residences on the South Fork, according to company officials. But it has languished, the process coming to a virtual standstill.
In September 2018, Deepwater published a legal notice announcing its intention to “file an application with the New York Public Service Commission (‘the Commission’) for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need (‘Certificate’) pursuant to Article VII of the New York Public Service Law.”
Almost immediately after issuing the notice Deepwater was sold. Ørsted entered into an agreement with the D.E. Shaw Group to acquire a 100 percent equity interest at a purchase price of USD $510 million.
On February 8, 2019, Ørsted sold 50 percent stake in two offshore wind farms and two lease areas off the U.S.’s north-east coast to New England utility Eversource for about $225 million.
Meanwhile, the size of the project was increased 44 percent by employing larger turbines than originally planned, PSEG Long Island said. South Fork Wind will use more powerful wind generators to increase the output of the project to a total 130 megawatts from a previously planned 90 megawatts, PSEG said.
The BOEM official quizzed did not reply to a question of whether that increase would trigger a new application.
Ørsted did not return phone call or emails asking for comment by press time. Responses, if forthcoming, will be published in next week’s issue.

This city's COVID-19 cases at the start of October are less than half in the same period last month, when peak infections of the pandemic surged, city health officials said on Thursday, October 7.
The City Epidemiological Surveillance Unit (CESU) data showed 415 new COVID-19 cases in the first six days of October, with a daily average of 69 cases. This is a big drop compared to the first six days of September, when the city recorded 906 new cases or an average of 151 new cases per day.
September 2021 was the city’s worst since the pandemic began, with 4,061 new COVID cases for the entire month, the CESU said.
Based on the mode of transmission, 360 of these cases were of local transmission, or within the community or the household; 55 were index cases, 1 was from a returning overseas Filipino (ROF), 3 were from returning residents, and 1 was an authorized person outside of residence (APOR).
As of October 2, the city has had 377 COVID deaths, 107 of which were directly caused by the disease, 171 with indirect causes, and 58 yet to be verified.
In a virtual presser, the city government’s COVID-19 focal person, Dr. Roland Jay Fortuna, said the direct and indirect cause of deaths depended on the deaths’ relation to COVID-19
“If we look at our hospitals, there are deaths that even though they are COVID positive, their cause of death may be heart attack, or for example, problems in the gall bladder or sepsis. These are problems are not directly related to COVID. There are also [COVID patients] who die of stroke or bleeding in the brain. But if the cause of death is COVID, they are included in those who have direct causes,” Fortuna explained.
Fortuna also cited data by the Department of Health-Western Visayas Center for Health Development (DOH-WV CHD), in stating that the city’s cases were declining compared to the rest of Western Visayas.
Iloilo City currently has the 4th most number of COVID-19 cases reported this month (421), trailing leaders Negros Occidental (1,280), Bacolod City (844), and Iloilo province (843).
The city is followed by Capiz (229), Guimaras and Antique (69 each), and Aklan (38).
As to new cases in the last two weeks based on the DOH data (September 23 to October 6), Iloilo City is also in fourth (1,231), trailing behind Negros Occidental (3,307), Iloilo province (2,272), and Bacolod City (1,916).
Capiz still follows Iloilo City with 671 new cases in the last 14 days, and trailed by Antique (186), and Aklan (143).
Fortuna said the biggest factor in the decrease of new cases was the city’s COVID-19 vaccination efforts, on top of community quarantine protocols and contact tracing.
The city government’s COVID vaccination data as of October 5 showed that 155,118 individuals, or 50.45% percent of the city’s 525,000 population target, have been fully vaccinated.
“Right now, the protocols we laid down in the city [is one of the reasons], but maybe the biggest factor in hindering [COVID] transmission is our accomplishment in [COVID] vaccination," Fortuna said. "In the previous weeks, we have been through MECQ and ECQ, and now we are at GCQ. Our protocols for arriving or returning residents may have also helped, and the cooperation of the people. The most important maybe is active contact tracing where we easily spot close contacts,” he said. – Rappler.com

Harlow woman fined over £500 for one dropped cigarette
News / Wed 9th Apr 2014 am30 10:17am
LITTERING has proven costly for one Harlow resident who has been fined £200 and order to pay over £300 in costs.
On the 25th November 2013 Natasha Watts of The Readings was caught throwing a cigarette butt onto the floor and failed to pick it up. She was approached by members of Harlow Council’s Community Safety Team and was given a fixed penalty notice of £80 for the offence.
Ms. Watts was given time to pay the notice. After ignoring several reminders and making no contact with the Council the matter was taken to court. The case was heard at Chelmsford Magistrates Court on Tuesday 1 April 2014. Ms. Watts failed to appear and was found guilty in her absence; she was fined £200, ordered to pay court costs of £292 and a victim surcharge of £20 – a total of £512.
A Council spokesperson said: “Dropping a cigarette butt is not a petty act as it contributes hugely to the amount of litter on our streets. Cigarette butts on our streets are common and they are extremely difficult to clear up; litter picking costs both time and Council taxpayers’ money.
“Keeping the streets clean is important to residents so we will take action against anyone who makes our town untidy. There is no excuse for dropping litter, including cigarettes, when there are plenty of litter bins around especially in places like the town centre.”
Residents can help with the Council’s crackdown on litter by reporting litterbugs to Contact Harlow on (01279) 446655 or by email: [email protected]


As the process of egg freezing continues to grow in popularity, many women seeking the option of delaying their family building goals are increasingly taking note. In 2009 prior to the removal of the ‘experimental label’ of the procedure by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, approximately 500 women nationally froze their eggs. In 2013, that figure jumped to over 5,000, and the numbers continue to increase given corporate conglomerates such as Apple and Facebook offering to cover the procedure for their interested female employees.
Since the procedure is relatively new, and considerably costly, women are approaching fertility clinics with many questions and concerns. Time magazine visited RMA of New York for a further look into the process of egg freezing, and interviewed Dr. Alan Copperman to provide insight as to how women should approach the treatment as a method to safeguard their fertility without false expectations. Embryologist Rose Marie Moschini describes the egg freezing procedure known as ‘vitrification’ which is the ‘fast freezing’ technique widely used by modern fertility centers such as RMA of New York.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to discuss developments in governance in Africa and the opportunities this offers to accounting, auditing and accountability researchers. The paper also provides an overview of the other contributions in this accounting, auditing and accountability special issue. Design/methodology/approach: This paper provides a contemporary literature review on governance and accountability in Africa, identifying the key developments in public sector reform and the research gaps that still need to be filled. While the paper focuses on Sub-Saharan Africa, the authors draw on examples from Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa – geographically representing east, west, and south of the continent. Findings: The paper finds that governance has emerged as a crucial issue that has a significant effect on the economic development of African countries. This has been associated with a myriad of reforms which range from anti-corruption measures to public financial management reforms. The authors find that the implementation and effects of these reforms have not been adequately researched by accounting scholars. Research limitations/implications: This is a review of a limited literature. Empirical research and a more comprehensive review of the literature from public administration and other disciplines might provide other new insights for research on governance in Africa. A further limitation is that the study has focused on a review of the most recent reforms while earlier reforms should be of particular interest to accounting historians. Originality/value: This paper and other contributions to this special issue of AAAJ provide a basis and an agenda for accounting scholars seeking to undertake interdisciplinary research on Africa.

Ebola! The Federal Reserve printing money for years and now they may stop! The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping 400-plus points before snapping back 300 points!
Changes! Panic! Volatility!
Everyone, hold on a second. The world isn't coming to an end, and just to prove it, I've got a stock for you that is absolutely crushing it. It's immune to ebola, doesn't do business internationally, and it is positioned to boom when the Fed raises rates.
The little bank that dominates them all
This past Tuesday, the Bank of the Ozarks (NASDAQ:OZK) released its results for the 2014 third quarter. They were stunning to say the least.
Profits were up 21% from the third quarter of 2013. Diluted earnings per share increased 11% over the same period. For the full nine months ended Sept. 30, 2014, the bank reports an increase in profits of over 25% and an increase in diluted earnings per share of nearly 19%.
The bank's return on average assets, a powerful measure of its ability to generate profits from every aspect of its operation, was a truly remarkable 1.98%. The FDIC reports in its most recent Quarterly Banking Profile that the industry average ROAA was 1.07%. Return on tangible equity was just shy of 17% at Bank of the Ozarks versus 9.54% for the industry.
But to comparing Bank of the Ozarks to the rest of the industry isn't quite fair. To be the best, you have to compete with the best. And to do that, we must compare the bank to what most experts agree is the top dog in the industry, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC).
Wells reported return on average assets of 1.4% and return on equity was about 13%. Strong numbers yes, but they pale in comparison to the results Bank of the Ozarks is putting up.
Listen to the pundits and experts and you'll hear that Wells Fargo is the best run bank in the country. Looking objectively at the results though, it seems to me that Bank of the Ozarks not only keeps up, but flat out wins in a head to head comparison.
The key to Bank of the Ozarks success is in running an exceptionally efficient operation and squeezing more profit out of every dollar than anyone else. For example, the bank's efficiency ratio was 43.9% in the third quarter.
The efficiency ratio is a measure of the bank's non-interest expenses divided by the sum of its net interest income and non-interest income. Put a bit more simply, the lower the ratio the lower the banks costs are relative to its total income. Lower is better, and Bank of the Ozarks ratio is lower than the industry average at 61% in the second quarter, and Wells Fargo at 57.7% in Q3.
Part of that efficiency is managing operational costs like employees, facilities, and administrative expenses. The other aspect though is managing the net interest margin -- the difference between what the bank pays out to depositors and what it charges on its loans. For the third quarter, Bank of the Ozarks reported a net interest margin of 5.49% -- 1.8 times better than Wells Fargo and 1.7 times better than the industry.
There are a lot of great companies, why this one in today's crazy market?
The talking heads on the major networks have pointed to four primary reasons why the market has behaved so erratically.
I'm only going to address three here though, because if the threat of an ebola outbreak is tempting you to pull out of the markets then you should instead consider preparing your portfolio for a zombie apocalypse.
First, there is a growing consensus that the Fed will raise rates soon. When the cheap money ends, the theory is that investors will move capital away from the higher yielding stock market and into safer assets. That may be true in general, except that higher rates will actually help banks like Bank of the Ozarks. When rates rise, expect to see the bank's net interest margin grow even larger. That means even higher profitability.
Second, analysts point to a general overvaluation in the markets. If that is the case, then what we are experiencing now should be viewed more as a market correction instead of a serious risk to your long term investment success. If the market is going to take a dip, that's the best time to buy the best companies at a discount. Companies like the Bank of the Ozarks.
Third, there is a growing concern over growth in the international economy. Russia continues to stir up trouble in eastern Europe and troubles in several other emerging markets have investors worried that a global slowdown could hurt the U.S. recovery. Bank of the Ozarks though has no international exposure. It's an old fashion bank that makes loans to U.S. businesses and individuals. It's a pure play on the U.S. market without concern for what happens overseas (and a 1.4% dividend yield to pay you for your patience, per S&P Capital IQ).
Bank of the Ozarks is a very, very well run bank that is well positioned to do well as a business over the long term. That's what this thesis is all about. I don't know if the stock will go up or down. No one does.
It's not about timing the markets. It's not about looking into a crystal ball. It's about recognizing a business that is putting up incredible numbers for its shareholders.
Those are the kind of businesses that I want to invest in and own for the long term.
